+The result was that Lily had a big bandage on her knee and couldn't dance for a while. She felt sad and missed twirling around in her pretty dress. But she knew that she needed to be careful and graceful so she wouldn't fall down again.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and dress up in different costumes. One day, she found a mask in her toy box. It was a shiny, red mask with a big smile on it. 
+
+Lily put on the mask and pretended to be a superhero. She flew around the room and fought imaginary villains. Suddenly, her little brother came in and asked, "What are you doing, Lily?"
+
+"I'm being a superhero!" Lily replied.
+
+Her brother looked at her with a wise expression and said, "But superheroes don't destroy things. They help people."
+
+Lily took off the mask and thought about what her brother said. She realized that being a superhero meant helping others, not causing destruction. From that day on, Lily used her powers for good and became the wisest superhero in all the land.

+
+Suddenly, Timmy's little sister came outside and saw what they were doing. She wanted to play too, but they didn't let her. She started to cry and ran inside. Timmy felt bad for not letting her play and went to apologize. They hugged and played together for the rest of the day.

+

+
+After dinner, Lily's mom asked her if she had brushed her teeth. Lily lied and said yes, even though she hadn't. Her mom knew she was lying because she could see the potato stuck in Lily's teeth. 
+

+
+The next day at school, Lily remembered what her mom said and raised her hand when she wanted to speak. Miss Daisy was happy and gave her a sticker for being a good listener.

+
+Lily's parents were very worried and called the police to help find her. But they never did. Timmy felt very sad and his face turned pale whenever he thought about his friend who vanished in the storm. From that day on, Timmy never played outside during a storm again.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a big bowl of water and she loved to splash in it. One day, she was splashing so much that the water spilled on the floor. Her mom got angry and told her to stop splashing. 
+
+Lily was sad and went to her room. She saw an ancient toy that her grandma gave her. It was a little boat. She thought it would be fun to play with in the water. So, she filled up the bowl again and put the boat in it. 
+
+But when Lily started to play, the boat tipped over and the water splashed all over the floor again. This time, Lily knew she had made a mistake. She quickly got a towel and cleaned up the mess. She learned that sometimes it's okay to splash, but she should be careful not to make a mess.
+Once upon a time, a woman was walking in the forest. She saw a big stick on the ground and picked it up. Suddenly, the stick snapped in half and hurt her hand. She cried out in pain.
+
+As she continued walking, she saw a little bird with a broken wing. The woman felt sad for the bird and wanted to help. She tried to fix the bird's wing but it wouldn't work. The woman felt frustrated and didn't know what to do.
+

+
+Timmy said, "Wow, Sally! You are so smart!" Sally replied, "We are smart together, Timmy. That's why we make a great team!" 
+
+From that day on, Timmy and Sally knew that they could always unite and solve any problem together.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to pick flowers in the park. One day, he saw a shiny object in the sky. It was a planet! Timmy was very excited and wanted to visit the planet.
+
+He asked his mom if he could go, but she said it was too far away. Timmy was sad, but he didn't give up. He asked his dad for help and his dad said they could build a rocket ship together.
+
+They worked very hard and finally, the rocket ship was ready. Timmy and his dad went to the planet and saw that it was very busy with aliens working and playing. Timmy learned that even though he couldn't go to the planet every day, he could still dream big and work hard to make his dreams come true. The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Ben was very creative and made a big castle with many windows and doors. Lily wanted to play with Ben's castle, but Ben said no.
+
+"Please, Ben, can I play with your castle?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily, this is my castle. You have your own blocks. Go away," Ben said.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She looked around and saw a box of matches on the shelf. She had an idea. She took some matches and went to Ben's castle. She offered Ben a match.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a match. Do you want to see what it can do?" Lily said.
+
+Ben was curious. He liked fire and sparks. He took the match from Lily and rubbed it on the box. The match lit up and made a bright flame.
+
+"Wow, cool!" Ben said.
+
+Lily smiled. She took another match and lit it. Then she threw it on Ben's castle. The castle caught fire and burned. The fire spread to the other blocks and the carpet. Smoke filled the playroom.
+
+"Help! Help! Fire!" Ben and Lily screamed.
+
+Their mom heard them and ran to the playroom. She saw the fire and grabbed a fire extinguisher. She sprayed the fire and put it out. She was very angry and scared.
+
+"Ben! Lily! What have you done? How did you get the matches? Do you know how dangerous they are? You could have burned the whole house down! You are in big trouble!" Mom yelled.
+
+Ben and Lily cried. They were sorry and scared. They had ruined their blocks and the playroom. They had to go to their rooms and stay there for a long time. They had no more fun that day.
+Tim liked to read books. He had many books in his room. He read books about animals, cars, and space. He read books every day.
+
+One day, Tim saw a huge book on the shelf. It was bigger than his head. He wanted to read it. He took the book and opened it. But the book was not a book. It was a trap.
+
+A big hand came out of the book and grabbed Tim. It pulled him inside. Tim screamed. "Help! Help!"
+
+His mom heard him and ran to his room. She saw the book on the floor. She picked it up and looked inside. She saw Tim's clothes. They were torn and bloody. She did not see Tim.
+
+She cried. "Tim! Tim! Where are you?"
+
+But Tim was gone. The book had eaten him. It was a bad book. It was a bad day.
+Tommy was a famous doctor. He liked to examine people and help them feel better. He had a big bag with many tools, like a stethoscope, a thermometer and a bandage.
+
+One day, he went to visit his grandma. She was very happy to see him. She gave him a hug and a kiss and said, "Hello, my dear Tommy. How are you today?"
+
+"I'm very well, grandma. And you?" Tommy said. He took out his stethoscope and put it on his ears. "Can I examine you, grandma? I want to make sure you are healthy."
+
+"Of course, my sweet Tommy. You are such a good doctor." Grandma said. She sat on the couch and let Tommy listen to her heart, her lungs and her tummy. Tommy nodded and smiled. He said, "You are very healthy, grandma. Your heart is strong, your lungs are clear and your tummy is happy."
+
+"Thank you, Tommy. You are very smart." Grandma said. She took out a plate from the kitchen and put it on the table. She said, "I made you a snack, Tommy. Do you like cauliflower?"
+
+Tommy looked at the plate. He saw some white and green things that looked like little trees. He said, "What is cauliflower, grandma?"
+
+Grandma said, "Cauliflower is a vegetable, Tommy. It is good for you. It has vitamins and minerals that help you grow and learn. Do you want to try some?"
+
+Tommy was curious. He picked up a piece of cauliflower and examined it. He smelled it, touched it and bit it. He said, "Mmm, it is crunchy and yummy. I like cauliflower, grandma."
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, Tommy. You are very brave and adventurous. You can have as much as you want."
+
+Tommy ate some more cauliflower and said, "Thank you, grandma. You are the best cook in the world."
+
+Grandma hugged him and said, "You are welcome, Tommy. You are the best doctor in the world."
+Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to try new things. She saw a violin in a shop window and wanted to play it. She asked her mom if she could have it, but her mom said it was too expensive and too hard for her.
+
+Lily was sad, but she did not give up. She found a box, some rubber bands, and a stick in her room. She put the rubber bands around the box and tied them tight. She used the stick as a bow and pretended it was a violin. She made some funny noises with it and had fun.
+
+One day, her mom heard her playing and came to see. She was surprised and proud of Lily. She said, "You are very clever and creative, Lily. You made your own violin out of things you had. You managed to do something hard with what you had. Maybe one day, you can have a real violin and learn to play it well."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She was happy that her mom liked her violin. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love my violin. I want to be a violin player when I grow up."
+
+Her mom said, "You can be anything you want, Lily. You are an adventurous girl who likes to try new things. I love you too." They played some more music together and had a good time.
+Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play outside and look at the sky. They saw many things in the sky: birds, clouds, stars, and sometimes planes.
+
+One day, they saw a big plane in the sky. It was shiny and loud. They waved at the plane and shouted, "Hello, plane! Where are you going?"
+
+The plane did not answer. It flew away and became smaller and smaller. It became a dot in the sky. Then it was gone.
+
+Tom and Mia were sad. They wanted to see the plane again. They wanted to go on the plane and see new places.
+
+They decided to make a plan. They said, "When we grow up, we will become pilots. We will fly planes in the sky. We will see the world and come back to each other."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They looked at the sky and dreamed of their future. They did not know that many years later, their plan would come true.
+Ben and Lily like to play with blocks. They make towers with the blocks. They try to make the towers very high and strong.
+
+One day, they want to make the biggest tower ever. They use all the blocks they have. They stack them up and up and up. They are very careful not to knock them down.
+
+"Look at our tower!" Ben says. "It is so high and strong!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily says. "We are very good at making towers!"
+
+They are very proud of their tower. They want to show it to their mom and dad.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Spot. Spot runs into the room. He sees the tower. He thinks it is a toy. He jumps at the tower. He wants to play with it.
+
+"Spot, no!" Ben and Lily shout. "That is our tower! We need it!"
+
+But it is too late. Spot knocks down the tower. The blocks fall everywhere. The tower is gone.
+
+Ben and Lily are very sad. They worked hard to make the tower. They cry and hug each other.
+
+Spot is sorry. He did not mean to break the tower. He licks Ben and Lily's faces. He wants to make them happy.
+
+Mom and dad come into the room. They see the mess. They see Ben and Lily crying. They see Spot wagging his tail.
+
+"What happened here?" mom asks.
+
+"Spot broke our tower!" Ben says.
+
+"We need our tower!" Lily says.
+
+Mom and dad hug Ben and Lily. They tell them they are sorry. They tell them they are proud of them for making such a big tower. They tell them they can make another tower later.
+
+They also tell Spot to be careful. They tell him not to jump at the blocks. They tell him to be a good dog.
+
+Ben and Lily stop crying. They smile and pet Spot. They forgive him. They know he is a good dog.
+
+They decide to play with Spot instead of the blocks. They throw a ball for him. He chases it and brings it back. They have fun together.
+
+They are happy again.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun, but they are also making a mess. There are toys everywhere on the floor and on the couch.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make my car go fast!" Ben says, as he pushes his car along the carpet.
+
+"Wow, Ben, your car is cool!" Lily says, as she hugs her doll. "But be careful, don't hit Mommy's phone!"
+
+Mommy's phone is on the coffee table. It is shiny and black. Mommy uses it to talk to Daddy and Grandma and other people. Sometimes, she lets Lily and Ben play games on it, but only for a little while.
+
+But Ben is not careful. He is too excited. He makes his car go faster and faster, until it bumps into the coffee table. Mommy's phone falls off the table and lands on the floor. It makes a loud noise.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben say together. They run to the phone and pick it up. They see a big crack on the screen. The phone is broken.
+
+"Mommy is going to be mad!" Lily says, with a scared voice.
+
+"Maybe we can fix it!" Ben says, with a hopeful voice.
+
+They look around the living room. They see a cloth and a bottle of water. They think they can use them to clean the phone.
+
+They take the cloth and the water and go to the bathroom. They turn on the faucet and fill the sink with water. They put the cloth in the water and make it wet. Then they take the phone and try to clean it with the cloth.
+
+But the water is too deep. The phone slips from their hands and falls into the sink. It makes another loud noise. The phone is wet and broken.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben say again. They start to cry.
+
+Mommy hears the noise and the crying. She comes to the bathroom and sees what happened. She sees the phone in the sink, the cloth on the floor, and the water everywhere. She sees Lily and Ben with tears in their eyes.
+
+"What did you do?" Mommy asks, with a angry voice.
+
+"We're sorry, Mommy!" Lily and Ben say, with a sad voice. "We wanted to clean the phone, but we made it worse!"
+
+Mommy sighs. She takes the phone out of the sink and turns it off. She takes the cloth and dries the phone. She takes Lily and Ben and hugs them.
+
+"I know you're sorry, but you should not touch my phone without asking me," Mommy says, with a calm voice. "It is not a toy. It is important and expensive. And you should not use water to clean it. Water can damage it."
+
+"We're sorry, Mommy," Lily and Ben repeat. "We won't do it again."
+
+Mommy smiles. She kisses them on the forehead.
+
+"I love you, Lily and Ben," Mommy says, with a soft voice. "But next time, please play with your own toys and clean up your mess."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They saw Mom's coffee on the table. It was hot and brown and smelled good.
+
+"Let's try some coffee," Ben said. He climbed on a chair and reached for the cup.
+
+"No, Ben, that's not for us," Lily said. She was scared. "Mom will be angry. Coffee is for grown-ups."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He grabbed the cup and tried to balance it in his hand. But it was too heavy and hot. He spilled some coffee on the table and on his shirt. He cried out loud.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and Ben's tears. She was not happy.
+
+"Ben, what did you do?" she asked. "You know you can't touch my coffee. It's dangerous. You could burn yourself."
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Ben said. He was sad and sorry. "I was hungry and curious. I wanted to taste your coffee."
+
+Mom hugged Ben and checked his shirt. He was not hurt, just wet and sticky. She gave him a napkin and a glass of water.
+
+"Next time, if you're hungry, ask me for a snack," she said. "Coffee is not good for you. It's bitter and strong. You need milk and juice and fruit and cookies."
+
+"Okay, Mom," Ben said. He drank his water and wiped his shirt. He looked at Lily. She was shaking her head.
+
+"Ben, you're silly," she said. "Coffee is yucky. I don't want any coffee. I want a cookie."
+
+Mom smiled and gave them both a cookie. They ate their cookies and said thank you. They learned their lesson. They never touched Mom's coffee again.
+Tommy and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. They found a big white thing in the fridge. It looked like a flower, but it was hard and cold.
+
+"What is this?" Tommy asked.
+
+"It's a cauliflower," Lily said. "Mommy said we have to eat it for dinner."
+
+"Yuck! I don't like cauliflower. It tastes bad," Tommy said. He made a face and threw the cauliflower on the floor.
+
+"Hey, don't do that! Mommy will be mad," Lily said. She picked up the cauliflower and tried to put it back in the fridge.
+
+But Tommy was naughty. He ran to the fridge and shut the door. He locked it with a key. He laughed and said, "Now you can't put it back. We don't have to eat cauliflower."
+
+Lily was scared and angry. She banged on the door and shouted, "Let me out! Let me out! You're mean, Tommy!"
+
+But Tommy didn't listen. He ran away to his room. He thought he was smart and funny.
+
+But he was not. Mommy came home and saw the mess in the kitchen. She saw the cauliflower on the floor and the fridge locked. She heard Lily crying inside. She was very angry and worried. She found the key and opened the door. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, honey. Are you okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Tommy did it. He shut me in the fridge. He didn't want to eat cauliflower."
+
+Mommy was furious. She went to Tommy's room and said, "Tommy, you're in big trouble. You were very bad and rude. You hurt your sister and wasted food. You have to say sorry and eat cauliflower for dinner. And no dessert for you."
+
+Tommy was confused and scared. He didn't understand why Mommy was so mad. He didn't think he did anything wrong. He didn't want to say sorry or eat cauliflower. He wanted to play and have dessert. He started to cry and said, "No, no, no. I don't like cauliflower. I don't want to eat it. It's yucky."
+
+But Mommy didn't care. She said, "Too bad. You have to eat it. And you have to learn to be nice and share. Or you will have no friends and no fun."
+
+She took Tommy to the kitchen and made him sit at the table. She gave him a big plate of cauliflower and a glass of water. She said, "You have to eat all of it. And you have to say sorry to Lily. And you have to clean up the mess. And you have to go to bed early. And you have to think about what you did."
+
+Tommy hated it. He hated cauliflower. He hated Mommy. He hated Lily. He hated himself. He wished he never shut the fridge. He wished he never saw the cauliflower. He wished he never played in the kitchen. He wished he could start over. But he couldn't. He had to eat the cauliflower. And he had to be sorry. And he had to be sad. And he had to be alone. He had a very bad day. And he had a very bad ending.
+Lily was a fairy who liked to play with her friends in the forest. She had wings that sparkled and a wand that made magic. She could change things with her wand, like making flowers grow or turning stones into stars.
+
+One day, she saw a human boy walking in the forest. He had no wings or wand, and he looked sad. Lily wanted to make him happy, so she flew over to him and said, "Hello, I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The boy looked up and saw Lily. He was surprised and scared. He said, "No, go away! You are not real, you are a monster!"
+
+Lily felt hurt and angry. She said, "I am not a monster, I am a fairy! You are mean and rude!" She waved her wand and said, "I will change you into a frog, then you will see how it feels to be different!"
+
+But her wand did not work. Instead of changing the boy, it changed Lily. She lost her wings and her wand, and became a human girl. She felt strange and scared. She said, "Oh no, what did I do?"
+
+The boy saw Lily change and felt sorry for her. He said, "I am sorry, I did not mean to call you a monster. You are a fairy, and you are beautiful. But why did you change?"
+
+Lily said, "I don't know, maybe my wand was broken. Or maybe it was a lesson. Maybe I should not try to change others, but accept them as they are. And maybe you should not judge others by how they look, but by how they act. Can we be friends?"
+
+The boy nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, we can be friends. I am Tom. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, I do. I am Lily. Maybe we can find a way to change me back, or maybe we can stay like this. Either way, I think we can have fun."
+
+They held hands and walked in the forest, looking for flowers and stars. They learned to be fair and kind to each other, and to appreciate their differences. They became the best of friends.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. Sometimes they shared their blocks and sometimes they wanted their own.
+
+"Look at my tower!" Tim said. "It is very tall and strong."
+
+Lily looked at Tim's tower. She wanted to make her tower taller and stronger too. She took some blocks from Tim's pile.
+
+"Hey, those are mine!" Tim said. He tried to take them back.
+
+Lily did not let go. She pulled harder. Tim pulled harder too. The blocks fell down and their towers broke.
+
+They both cried. They were sad and angry.
+
+Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken towers and the blocks on the floor.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Tim took my blocks!" Lily said.
+
+"Lily took my blocks!" Tim said.
+
+Mom sighed. She paused for a moment. She thought of a way to help them.
+
+"Tim and Lily, I know you both like to play with blocks. But you have to share and be kind. How about this? If you can work together and build one big tower, I will give you a reward. You can have some cookies and milk after. Does that sound good?"
+
+Tim and Lily nodded. They liked cookies and milk. They wanted to have a reward.
+
+They stopped crying. They picked up the blocks and started to build. They were persistent. They did not give up. They helped each other and said nice words.
+
+Soon they had a big tower. It was taller and stronger than before. They were proud and happy.
+
+"Look, Mom, we did it!" they said.
+
+Mom smiled. She was proud and happy too.
+
+"Good job, Tim and Lily! You worked together and shared. You deserve a reward. Come on, let's have some cookies and milk. You can tell me about your tower."
+
+Tim and Lily followed Mom to the kitchen. They enjoyed their reward. They learned to play better. They hugged Mom and thanked her.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their toy guns. They liked to pretend they were brave soldiers fighting bad guys. They ran and hid behind the trees and the swings, and shouted "bang bang" as they shoot their guns.
+
+But then they saw something very big and scary. It was a giant! He was taller than the houses and had a mean face and a loud voice. He stomped his feet and made the ground shake. He saw Tim and Lily and said, "I am hungry. I will eat you, little ones!"
+
+Tim and Lily were fearful. They wanted to run away, but they were too scared to move. They hugged each other and cried. They wished their mom and dad were here to help them.
+
+But then they remembered their toy guns. They looked at each other and said, "We are brave soldiers. We can fight the giant. We have to try." They stood up and pointed their guns at the giant. They shoot and shoot and shoot, and yelled, "Go away, giant! Leave us alone!"
+
+The giant was surprised. He did not like the noise and the pain of the toy guns. He thought Tim and Lily were too small and weak, but they were brave and strong. He was afraid of them. He said, "Ow ow ow! Stop it, little ones! You hurt me! I will go away!" He turned around and ran away, as fast as he could.
+
+Tim and Lily cheered. They had saved the park and themselves. They were happy and proud. They hugged each other and said, "We did it! We are brave soldiers! We are not fearful of giants!" They went back to playing with their toy guns, and had fun.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. Ben had a long red scarf that his grandma gave him. He wrapped it around his neck and pretended to be a superhero.
+
+"Look at me, Lily! I can fly!" he shouted, as he ran with his arms out.
+
+Lily laughed and clapped her hands. She had a small toy car in her pocket. She took it out and showed it to Ben.
+
+"Look at me, Ben! I can drive!" she said, as she zoomed the car on the ground.
+
+Ben stopped and looked at the car. It was shiny and blue, with four black wheels. He liked it very much.
+
+"Can I play with your car, Lily?" he asked.
+
+Lily nodded and handed him the car. Ben smiled and thanked her. He drove the car on the grass and made vroom-vroom noises.
+
+Lily watched him and smiled too. She liked to share with her friend. She reached for Ben's scarf and wrapped it around her neck. She pretended to be a superhero too.
+
+"Look at me, Ben! I can fly too!" she shouted, as she ran with her arms out.
+
+Ben looked up and saw Lily with his scarf. He felt a little sad. He liked his scarf very much.
+
+"Can I have my scarf back, Lily?" he asked.
+
+Lily stopped and looked at Ben. She saw that he was sad. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"Of course, Ben. Here you go," she said, as she gave him back his scarf.
+
+Ben smiled and thanked her. He put his scarf around his neck again. He felt happy.
+
+"Can we play together, Lily?" he asked.
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She put her car back in her pocket.
+
+"Yes, Ben. Let's play together," she said.
+
+They held hands and ran to the slide. They slid down and laughed. They remained friends and had fun.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They were very happy. They wanted to tell each other a secret.
+
+"Can I tell you something?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"Sure, what is it?" Ben said.
+
+"I have a surprise for you. It is amazing. But you have to wait until summer. Then I will show you." Lily said.
+
+Ben was curious. He wanted to know what the surprise was. He tried to guess.
+
+"Is it a toy? A cake? A trip?" He asked.
+
+Lily shook her head. She smiled.
+
+"No, no, no. It is better than that. But you have to be patient. It is a secret." She said.
+
+Ben nodded. He trusted Lily. He was excited. He thought summer would be the best time ever.
+
+But summer never came for Ben. One day, he got very sick. He had to go to the hospital. He was very sad. He missed Lily. He wanted to see her surprise.
+
+Lily was very sad too. She wanted to see Ben. She wanted to tell him her secret. She had made a special gift for him. It was a book. She had drawn pictures and written words. She had worked very hard. She wanted to make Ben happy.
+
+She went to the hospital. She brought her book. She hoped Ben would like it. She ran to his room. She opened the door.
+
+But Ben was not there. He was gone. He had died. Lily was shocked. She dropped her book. She cried. She wished she had told him her secret sooner. She wished she had said goodbye. She wished summer had come.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play on the porch. The porch is old and has holes. Sometimes they fall and hurt their knees.
+
+One day, Dad says, "I have a surprise for you. We are going to improve the porch. We will make it new and strong."
+
+Tom and Sam are happy. They help Dad carry wood and nails. Dad cuts the wood and makes thick planks. He nails the planks over the holes. He paints the porch red and blue.
+
+When they are done, Tom and Sam run to the porch. They jump and clap. The porch is smooth and bright. They do not fall or hurt their knees.
+
+"Thank you, Dad!" they say. "We love the new porch. It is the best porch ever!"
+
+Dad smiles and hugs them. "You are welcome, boys. You helped me a lot. I am proud of you. Now let's have some cookies and milk on the porch."
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. They had many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben saw a big truck outside their house. The truck had a sign that said "Fuel". Lily and Ben were very nosy. They wanted to see what was inside the truck. They ran to the truck and opened the door.
+
+"Wow, look at all these cans!" Lily said. "They are full of fuel. Fuel makes cars and trucks go fast. Let's take some and put them in our cars and trucks."
+
+"That's a good idea!" Ben said. "But we have to be quick. The truck driver might come back soon."
+
+They took some cans and ran to their backyard. They opened the cans and poured the fuel into their cars and trucks. They smiled and laughed. They thought they were very clever.
+
+"Let's see how fast they can go now!" Lily said. "Ready, set, go!"
+
+They pushed their cars and trucks and watched them zoom across the grass. They were very happy. But then, something bad happened. One of the cars hit a rock and flipped over. The fuel spilled out and caught fire. The fire spread to the other cars and trucks and the grass. Lily and Ben screamed and ran away.
+
+The truck driver heard the noise and saw the smoke. He ran to the backyard and saw the fire. He was very angry and scared. He called the firemen and the police. He also called Lily and Ben's parents.
+
+Lily and Ben's parents came home and saw the fire. They were very sad and mad. They hugged Lily and Ben and made sure they were not hurt. But they also scolded them and punished them. They had to say sorry to the truck driver and pay for the damage. They also had to give away all their cars and trucks. They had no more toys to play with.
+
+Lily and Ben learned a hard lesson. They learned that being nosy and stealing is wrong. They learned that fuel is dangerous and not a toy. They learned that they should listen to their parents and respect other people's things. They wished they had never seen the truck. They wished they had played nicely with their cars and trucks. They were very sorry and sad.
+Jill and Tom liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were cooks and make yummy food. One day, they saw a big oven in the corner. It was old and dirty and had a sign that said "Do not use".
+
+But Jill and Tom did not read the sign. They wanted to see what was inside the oven. They opened the door and saw a lot of dust and cobwebs. They thought it would be fun to clean the oven and make it look new. They got some rags and water and started to wipe the oven.
+
+They did not know that the oven was still plugged in. They did not know that the oven was broken and had a short circuit. They did not know that the water and the rags could make a spark and start a fire.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud bang and saw a flash of light. The oven exploded and sent flames and smoke everywhere. Jill and Tom screamed and ran out of the kitchen. They were scared and hurt. They had burns and cuts on their skin and clothes.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the noise and came running. They saw the fire and called 911. They saw Jill and Tom and hugged them. They were glad they were alive, but they were also angry and sad. They had to go to the hospital and the firemen had to put out the fire. The oven was destroyed and so was the kitchen. Jill and Tom could not restore the oven or make it safe. They had made a big mistake and had a bad ending.
+Anna liked to design things. She had many crayons and papers. She drew houses, flowers, animals and people. She was very happy when she made something new.
+
+One day, she went to the farm with her mom and dad. She saw many animals there. She saw cows, pigs, chickens, horses and a mule. The mule was brown and had long ears. Anna wanted to draw the mule.
+
+She asked her mom for a paper and a crayon. She sat on the grass and started to design the mule. She made a big circle for the body, a smaller circle for the head, four sticks for the legs and two triangles for the ears. She colored the mule brown and gave it a black tail and a black mane.
+
+The mule saw Anna and came closer. It was curious about what she was doing. It looked at the paper and made a loud noise. "Hee-haw, hee-haw!" It said.
+
+Anna looked at the mule and smiled. She showed him the paper. "This is you, mule. Do you like it?" She asked.
+
+The mule nodded and licked the paper. It liked Anna's design. It was very fine. Anna giggled and gave the mule a hug. She was happy to make a new friend.
+Sara and Sam are twins. They like to play together and share their toys. They are loyal to each other and help each other when they are sad or scared.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a big slide and want to try it. Sara goes first and slides down fast. She laughs and feels happy. Sam waits for his turn and climbs up the ladder. He is excited and wants to slide down too.
+
+But then, a big boy comes and pushes Sam off the ladder. He says, "This is my slide. Go away, you little baby." Sam falls and hurts his arm. He cries and feels angry. Sara hears him and rushes to help him. She says, "Leave my twin alone. He is not a baby. You are mean and rude."
+
+The big boy laughs and says, "What can you do, you little girl? You are weak and silly." He tries to push Sara too, but she is brave and stands up to him. She says, "We are not weak or silly. We are strong and smart. We are twins and we stick together."
+
+The big boy gets mad and says, "Fine, then I will show you who is stronger and smarter." He grabs a stick and swings it at Sara and Sam. He hits Sara on the head and Sam on the leg. They both fall and bleed. They cry and feel pain. The big boy runs away and says, "That will teach you to mess with me."
+
+Their mom hears them and rushes to help them. She sees them hurt and bleeding and feels scared and sad. She says, "Oh, my poor twins. What happened to you?" She hugs them and calls for help. She says, "I'm so sorry. I should have watched you better. I love you both so much."
+
+Sara and Sam are taken to the hospital. They have to get stitches and bandages. They have to stay in bed and rest. They miss their mom and their toys. They feel sorry and sad. They say, "We wish we never went to the slide. We wish we never met the big boy. He was bad and cruel."
+
+The moral of the story is: Be careful of strangers and bullies. They can hurt you and make you unhappy. Always stay close to your mom and your twin. They can protect you and make you happy.
+Sam and Lily like to play on the sand. They make castles and dig holes. They see the big water. It is blue and shiny. It makes noise.
+
+"Let's go to the water!" Lily says. She runs to the water. Sam follows her. They splash and laugh. They see fish and shells. They are happy.
+
+But then the water gets big and loud. It comes to them fast. It is a wave. Sam and Lily are scared. They run back to the sand. The wave catches them. It is wet and cold. It pushes them down.
+
+"Help!" Sam and Lily cry. They hold hands. They try to get up. They are scared.
+
+Mom and Dad see them. They run to them. They pick them up. They hug them. They are safe.
+
+"It's okay, Sam and Lily," Mom says. "The wave can't hurt you. It was just playing."
+
+"But it was scary!" Lily says. "I don't like the water."
+
+"Me neither," Sam says. "I like the sand."
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They take them to the sand. They give them towels and juice. They make a big castle with them. They fit inside. They are happy. They are not scared.
+Sara and Ben were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill. They wanted to climb it.
+
+"Let's go up the hill," Sara said. "It will be fun."
+
+"OK," Ben said. "But be careful. The hill is steep."
+
+They started to climb the hill. They held hands and helped each other. They were happy.
+
+But when they reached the top, they saw a big dog. The dog was angry. It barked and growled. It showed its teeth.
+
+Sara and Ben were scared. They tried to run away. But the dog was faster. It chased them down the hill.
+
+"Help, help!" Sara and Ben cried. "Someone help us!"
+
+But no one heard them. No one came to help them. They were helpless.
+
+The dog caught them and bit them. It hurt them a lot. They cried and cried.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their football. They would kick it, throw it, and catch it in the yard. They had a lot of fun with their football.
+
+One day, their mom gave them a new toy. It was a shrink ray. It could make things smaller or bigger. Mom said, "Be careful with this toy. Only use it on things that are not alive. And always put it back when you are done."
+
+Tim and Sam were curious. They wanted to try the shrink ray. They took it to the yard and pointed it at their football. They pressed the button and zapped it. The football became very small. It was the size of a pea.
+
+"Wow!" Tim said. "This is cool. Let's make it bigger again."
+
+But Sam had a naughty idea. He grabbed the shrink ray and ran away. He said, "No, I want to keep it. I want to shrink other things. Like your bike. And your teddy bear. And you!"
+
+Tim chased after Sam. He said, "Stop, Sam. That's not nice. Give it back. You are being mean."
+
+Sam did not listen. He turned around and pointed the shrink ray at Tim. He pressed the button and zapped him. Tim became very small. He was the size of a bug.
+
+"Ha ha!" Sam said. "Now you are tiny. And I am big. I can do whatever I want."
+
+But then, a loud noise came from the sky. It was a bird. It saw Tim and thought he was a snack. It swooped down and grabbed him with its beak. It flew away with him.
+
+"Tim!" Sam shouted. "No! Come back!"
+
+But it was too late. The bird was gone. And so was Tim.
+
+Sam was alone. He was scared. He was sad. He wished he had not been mean to his brother. He wished he had not played with the shrink ray. He wished he could have Tim back.
+
+But he could not.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and selfish. Do not hurt others with your toys. And listen to your mom.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors. They can build anything they want with the blocks.
+
+One day, they decide to build a big house with the blocks. They work together and use many blocks. They make walls, a roof, a door and windows. They are happy with their house. It is colorful and strong.
+
+"Look at our house!" Lily says. "It is so pretty and big!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "We are good builders!"
+
+They want to go inside their house and play. But there is a problem. The door is too small for them. They cannot fit inside their house.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily says. "How can we go inside our house?"
+
+"I have an idea!" Ben says. "We can make the door bigger. We just need to take some blocks away."
+
+He reaches his hand to the door and tries to pull a block. But the block is stuck. He pulls harder and harder. Suddenly, the block comes out. But it also makes the roof fall down. All the blocks fall down and make a big mess.
+
+"Oops!" Ben says. "I'm sorry, Lily!"
+
+Lily looks at their house. It is not a house anymore. It is just a pile of blocks. She feels sad. She worked hard to build the house.
+
+"It's okay, Ben," Lily says. "We can build it again. But this time, we will make the door bigger."
+
+They smile at each other. They pick up the blocks and start to build again. They are still friends. They still like to play with blocks. They still have fun.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run. But mom said they had to go home soon. She told them to remain on the bench while she packed their things.
+
+Ben saw a red belt on the ground. He picked it up and wrapped it around his waist. He felt like a superhero. He wanted to show Lily his belt.
+
+"Lily, look at me!" he shouted. "I have a red belt. I can fly!"
+
+He ran to the slide and climbed up. He was going to slide down and pretend to fly.
+
+But Lily was scared. She did not want Ben to get hurt. She knew the belt was not his. She wanted him to give it back.
+
+"Ben, stop!" she cried. "That is not your belt. You have to put it back. You can't fly. You will fall!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He thought Lily was silly. He slid down and tried to fly. But he was wrong. He could not fly. He fell off the slide and landed on the grass. He hurt his knee and his head. He dropped the belt and started to cry.
+
+Mom heard Ben and Lily. She ran to them and hugged them. She checked Ben's knee and head. They were not too bad. She put a band-aid on his knee and kissed his head. She told him he was brave.
+
+She also told him he was naughty. She said he should not take things that were not his. She said he should listen to Lily. She said he should be careful.
+
+She picked up the belt and looked around. She saw a man looking for something. She guessed it was his belt. She walked to him and gave him the belt. She said sorry and explained what happened.
+
+The man was nice. He said it was okay. He said he was glad Ben was not badly hurt. He said he liked his red belt. He said it was a gift from his dad. He said he used it to hold his pants.
+
+He smiled and thanked mom. He waved to Ben and Lily. He walked away with his belt.
+
+Mom took Ben and Lily by the hand. She said it was time to go home. She said they learned a lesson today. She said they should be happy and grateful for what they have.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They said sorry to mom. They said they loved her. They said they loved each other.
+
+They walked home with mom. They remained close and quiet. They thought about the red belt and the man. They thought about flying and falling. They thought about being good and bad.
+
+They decided to be good. They decided to be happy. They decided to be careful.
+Anna and Ben were twins who loved to bake. They liked to make cookies, cakes and pies with their mom. One day, mom had to go to the store and left them with dad. Dad was busy working on his laptop and did not pay much attention to them.
+
+Anna and Ben decided to bake a surprise for mom. They found a recipe book and picked a cute cupcake with pink frosting and sprinkles. They got the ingredients and mixed them in a big bowl. They poured the batter into paper cups and put them in the oven. They set the timer and waited.
+
+They did not know that the oven was too hot. They did not know that the cupcakes would burn. They did not know that the smoke would fill the kitchen. They did not know that the fire alarm would go off.
+
+Dad heard the alarm and ran to the kitchen. He saw the smoke and the burnt cupcakes. He turned off the oven and opened the windows. He was angry and scared. He yelled at Anna and Ben.
+
+"What were you thinking? You could have started a fire! You could have hurt yourselves! You should never use the oven without an adult! You are in big trouble!"
+
+Anna and Ben felt bad. They wanted to make mom happy, not dad mad. They said they were sorry and cried.
+
+Mom came home and saw the mess. She saw the recipe book and the paper cups. She saw the sad faces of Anna and Ben. She hugged them and said.
+
+"I know you wanted to surprise me, but you should always be careful in the kitchen. The oven can be dangerous. You should always ask for help when you bake. I love you, but I also want you to be safe."
+
+Anna and Ben learned their lesson. They promised to never use the oven without an adult. They also promised to help mom clean the kitchen. They still loved to bake, but they always followed the rules.
+Tom and Mia were going on a safari with their mom and dad. They were very excited to see the big animals, like lions and elephants and giraffes. They packed their hats and sunglasses and water bottles in their backpacks.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Tom asked for the tenth time.
+
+"Soon, honey, soon," Mom said. "Look, there's the gate to the park. We have to show our tickets and then we can go in."
+
+They drove through the gate and followed the signs to the safari bus. The bus was big and yellow and had no windows, only bars. The driver told them to sit down and hold on tight. He said they would see many amazing things, but they had to be quiet and careful.
+
+The bus started to move and soon they were in the middle of the safari. They saw zebras and antelopes and monkeys. They saw a hippo in the water and a crocodile on the shore. They saw a rhino with a big horn and a cheetah with spots. They saw a herd of elephants with long trunks and big ears.
+
+"Wow, look at that one!" Mia said, pointing to a baby elephant. "It's so cute! Can we take it home?"
+
+"No, sweetie, we can't," Dad said. "The elephants belong here, in their family. They need each other and the land and the water. We can only watch and admire them."
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They understood. They loved the animals, but they knew they had to respect them.
+
+The bus kept going and the sun started to go down. The sky turned orange and pink and purple. The driver said they had to go back soon, because it would get dark and cold. He said they had one more stop, to see the lions.
+
+The lions were the king and queen of the safari. They were big and strong and had golden fur and black manes. They were lying on a rock, looking lazy and bored. But the driver said they were actually very alert and smart. He said they could hunt and run and roar.
+
+Tom and Mia were fascinated by the lions. They wanted to see them do something, anything. They wished they could hear them roar.
+
+"Can you make them roar, please?" Tom asked the driver.
+
+The driver smiled and shook his head. He said they couldn't make the lions do anything. He said they had to wait and see if the lions felt like roaring.
+
+They waited and waited, but the lions didn't move or make a sound. They just blinked and yawned and licked their paws. Tom and Mia started to feel bored and disappointed. They thought the lions were not very fun.
+
+They didn't know that the lions were waiting too. They were waiting for the right moment, the right prey, the right signal. They had a plan, a secret plan. They had seen something that Tom and Mia hadn't seen. They had seen a big, yellow, tasty thing. They had seen the bus.
+
+Suddenly, the lions sprang into action. They jumped off the rock and ran towards the bus. They roared loud and fierce, making the ground shake and the air tremble. They showed their teeth and claws, ready to attack.
+
+Tom and Mia screamed. They were scared and shocked. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. They thought the lions were going to eat them.
+
+Mom and Dad hugged them and told them to stay calm. They said they were safe and the lions couldn't hurt them. They said the bus was strong and the bars were thick. They said the driver would drive away and the lions would give up.
+
+The driver did drive away, as fast as he could. He honked the horn and shouted at the lions. He said they were naughty and bad. He said they had to leave the bus alone.
+
+The lions chased the bus for a while, but they soon realized they couldn't catch it. They stopped and watched as the bus disappeared. They snorted and growled, feeling angry and hungry. They had missed their chance.
+
+The bus made it back to the gate, just as it got dark. Tom and Mia were still shaking and crying. They had never been so scared in their lives. They had learned a lesson, a hard lesson. They had learned that the safari was not a game. They had learned that the lions were not their friends.
+
+They got out of the bus and thanked the driver. They said they were sorry for bothering the lions. They said they would never do it again.
+
+The driver smiled and patted their heads. He said they were brave and lucky. He said they had seen something that few people ever see. He said they had heard the lions roar.
+
+He gave them a souvenir, a souvenir they would never forget. He gave them a picture, a picture he had taken with his camera. It
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big animal with a long nose. It is an elephant.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben says. "What is it doing?"
+
+The elephant is spraying water from its nose. It is called a trunk. The water is clear and cold.
+
+Lily wants to touch the trunk. She runs to the elephant. Ben is scared. He does not understand why Lily is not afraid.
+
+"Stop, Lily, stop!" Ben shouts. "The elephant might be angry!"
+
+But Lily does not listen. She reaches for the trunk. The elephant sees her. It makes a loud noise. It is called a roar.
+
+Lily is surprised. She jumps back. She is wet from the water. She is also scared. She runs to Ben.
+
+"Sorry, Ben, sorry!" Lily says. "I did not understand. The elephant was not happy. It was mad."
+
+Ben hugs Lily. He is glad she is safe. He is also wet from the water. He is not mad. He is kind.
+
+"It's okay, Lily, it's okay," Ben says. "Now we understand. The elephant wants to be alone. We should leave it alone."
+
+They walk away from the elephant. They find a bench. They sit and dry off. They are still friends. They learned something new. They are happy.
+Tim and Mia like to play with their toys in the living room. They have cars, dolls, blocks, and books. But they do not like the music that Mom plays on the radio. It is jazz. It has loud horns and drums and no words. It hurts their ears.
+
+"Mom, can we change the music?" Tim asks. "We do not like jazz. It is too noisy."
+
+Mom shakes her head. "No, Tim. Jazz is good music. It makes me happy. You have to learn to appreciate it. It is part of our culture."
+
+"But Mom, we want to hear songs with words. Songs that we can sing along. Jazz is boring." Mia says.
+
+Mom sighs. "Fine. I will turn the radio down a little. But you have to remain quiet and play nicely. I have to work on my laptop. Do not bother me."
+
+Tim and Mia nod. They go back to their toys. But they are not happy. They whisper to each other.
+
+"Jazz is bad music. It sounds like dead animals." Tim says.
+
+"I know. It is scary. It makes me sad." Mia says.
+
+They have an idea. They sneak to the radio. They look for a button to change the music. They find one that says FM. They press it.
+
+The radio makes a loud beep. Then it plays a different music. It has words and a happy tune. It is a song about a rainbow.
+
+Tim and Mia smile. They clap their hands. They start to sing along.
+
+"Rainbow, rainbow, in the sky. You are so pretty and so high. Rainbow, rainbow, you make me glad. You are the best thing that I ever had."
+
+Mom hears the music. She looks up from her laptop. She frowns. She sees Tim and Mia by the radio. She stands up. She walks to them.
+
+"Tim, Mia, what did you do? You changed the music. You did not listen to me. You bothered me. You are in trouble." Mom says.
+
+Tim and Mia stop singing. They look at Mom. They are scared. They hug each other.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We do not like jazz. We like rainbow. It is a nice music. It makes us happy. Please do not be mad." Tim says.
+
+Mom sighs. She kneels down. She hugs Tim and Mia.
+
+"I know, Tim, Mia. I know you do not like jazz. But you have to respect my choice. Jazz is not bad music. It is not dead animals. It is a beautiful music. It has history and soul. It tells stories without words. Maybe one day you will understand. But for now, you have to follow the rules. You have to ask me before you change the music. You have to remain quiet and play nicely. You have to let me work. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+Tim and Mia nod. They say sorry again. They kiss Mom.
+
+"OK, Mom. We understand. We will follow the rules. We will remain quiet and play nicely. We will let you work. But can we listen to rainbow sometimes?" Tim says.
+
+Mom smiles. She kisses Tim and Mia.
+
+"Of course, Tim, Mia. We can listen to rainbow sometimes. We can listen to different music. We can share and learn. We can be happy together. I love you." Mom says.
+
+Tim and Mia say they love Mom too. They go back to their toys. Mom goes back to her laptop. The radio plays jazz again. But it is not too loud. And it is not too bad.
+Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with balls and cars and books. One day, they saw a big show on TV. There were people who sang and danced and did tricks. Ben and Sam wanted to be like them.
+
+They decided to put on their own show for Mom and Dad. They put on hats and scarves and shoes. They found a broom and a spoon and a pot. They made a stage in the living room. They were ready to start.
+
+Mom and Dad sat on the couch and smiled. Ben and Sam began their show. Ben sang a song with the spoon. Sam danced with the broom. They made funny faces and noises. Mom and Dad clapped their hands. They applauded Ben and Sam.
+
+Ben and Sam felt happy. They wanted to do more. They wanted to make Mom and Dad laugh harder. They thought of a new trick. Ben would jump over Sam with the pot on his foot. Sam would roll under Ben with the broom on his head.
+
+They did not practice. They did not think. They just did it. But it was a bad idea. Ben tripped over Sam. Sam hit his head on the broom. The pot fell on Ben's foot. They both cried out loud.
+
+Mom and Dad ran to them. They hugged them and kissed them. They checked if they were hurt. Ben had a bruise on his foot. Sam had a bump on his head. They were not fine. They were sore and sad.
+
+Mom and Dad said, "We are sorry you got hurt. We liked your show. But you should be careful. You should not do things that are dangerous. You should practice before you try. You should think before you do."
+
+Ben and Sam said, "We are sorry, too. We wanted to make you happy. We wanted to be like the people on TV. But we were silly. We did not listen. We did not learn."
+
+Mom and Dad said, "We love you, no matter what. You do not have to be like anyone else. You are special and wonderful. But you have to be safe and smart. You have to listen and learn."
+
+Ben and Sam nodded. They said, "We love you, too. We will be safe and smart. We will listen and learn."
+
+They hugged Mom and Dad. They said goodbye to their show. They put away their hats and scarves and shoes. They put away their broom and spoon and pot. They went to bed with a kiss and a hug.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the attic. The attic is full of old things and cobwebs. Cobwebs are sticky and hairy. Tom and Sam think they are fun to touch.
+
+One day, they decide to organize the attic. They want to make more space for their toys. They move boxes and bags and books. They find a big chest. They open it. Inside, they see shiny things and clothes and a hat.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up a necklace with a red stone. "This is pretty. I want to keep it."
+
+"No, it's mine!" Sam says. He grabs the necklace from Tom. They start to fight.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" a voice says. It is their mom. She comes up the stairs. She sees the mess and the chest. She is angry. "What are you doing? This is grandma's stuff. You can't touch it. It is very old and valuable. And look at all these cobwebs. They are dirty and gross. You need to clean up right now."
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They drop the necklace. It breaks. The red stone falls out. It rolls under the chest. They can't find it.
+
+Mom is very mad. She takes away their toys. She makes them sweep the attic. She says they can't play there anymore. She says they are naughty and careless.
+
+Tom and Sam are sad. They cry. They wish they never organized the attic. They wish they never saw the necklace. They wish they never fought. They say they are sorry. But it is too late. The end.
+Jenny and Tom were very happy. They were going to visit their grandma for Christmas. They loved their grandma very much. She always gave them hugs and cookies and told them stories.
+
+When they got to grandma's house, they saw a big tree with many lights and ornaments. The ornaments were shiny and pretty. Jenny and Tom wanted to touch them and play with them. But grandma said, "No, no, don't touch the ornaments. They are very old and fragile. They can break easily."
+
+Jenny and Tom did not listen to grandma. They thought she was silly. They wanted to have fun. They ran to the tree and grabbed some ornaments. They threw them in the air and caught them. They laughed and shouted.
+
+But then, one ornament slipped from Tom's hand and fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces. It was a very special ornament. It was grandma's favorite. She had it since she was a little girl. It was a gift from her mom.
+
+Grandma heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken ornament and the mess. She was very sad and angry. She said, "How could you do this? You were very naughty and careless. You ruined my ornament. You hurt my feelings. You have to go home now. I don't want to see you anymore."
+
+Jenny and Tom felt very sorry and scared. They cried and said, "We are sorry, grandma. We didn't mean to break your ornament. We love you. Please don't send us away."
+
+But grandma did not forgive them. She called their mom and told her to pick them up. She said goodbye to them with a cold voice. She did not hug them or kiss them.
+
+Jenny and Tom left with their mom. They were very sad and ashamed. They had a very bad Christmas. They wished they had listened to grandma. They hoped she would love them again.
+Lily was a naughty girl. She liked to make a mess and hide things. One day, she found a folder on the table. It was her mom's folder. It had many papers inside. Lily wanted to play with the folder.
+
+She took the folder and ran to her room. She opened the folder and took out the papers. She tore some of them and drew on others. She laughed and threw the papers on the floor. She did not care that the papers were important.
+
+Mom came home and saw the folder on the table. She was looking for it. She needed it for work. She opened the folder and saw that it was empty. She was very angry and worried. She went to Lily's room and saw the mess.
+
+"Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked in a loud voice.
+
+Lily looked at Mom and saw that she was mad. She felt scared and sorry. She hid under the bed.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I was naughty. I played with the folder and the papers. I did not know they were yours. I did not know they were important. Please don't be mad at me." Lily said in a small voice.
+
+Mom sighed and sat on the bed. She was still angry, but she also loved Lily. She knew that Lily was young and did not understand. She decided to teach Lily a lesson.
+
+"Lily, come out from under the bed. I want to talk to you." Mom said in a calm voice.
+
+Lily came out from under the bed. She looked at Mom with big eyes.
+
+"Lily, the folder and the papers were mine. I needed them for work. They were very important. You should not have taken them. You should not have torn them or drawn on them. You should have asked me first. You made a big mistake. Do you understand?" Mom said in a serious voice.
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "I forgive you, Lily. But you have to help me fix the mess. You have to help me put the papers back in the folder. You have to help me tape the torn ones. You have to help me erase the drawings. And you have to say sorry to my boss. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I can do that. I will help you. I will say sorry. I love you, Mom."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's go and set things right."
+Tim and Lily were playing with paper. They wanted to make some animals. Tim took a blue paper and folded it many times. He made a fish. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look, I made a fish. It can swim in the water."
+
+Lily took a yellow paper and folded it too. But she did not know how to make a fish. She made something else. She showed it to Tim and said, "Look, I made a fish too. It can fly in the sky."
+
+Tim looked at Lily's paper. It was not a fish. It was a bird. He was confused. He said, "That is not a fish, Lily. That is a bird. Fish have fins and tails. Birds have wings and beaks."
+
+Lily looked at Tim's paper. She was confused too. She said, "That is not a fish, Tim. That is a boat. Fish have eyes and mouths. Boats have sails and masts."
+
+They both looked at each other's papers. They were very confused. They did not know how to make a fish. They asked their mom for help. She showed them how to fold a paper to make a fish. She said, "This is a fish. It has eyes, mouth, fins and tail. It can swim in the water. It is not a bird or a boat."
+
+Tim and Lily learned how to make a fish. They were happy. They made more fish with different colors. They played with their paper fish. They pretended they were in the ocean. They had fun.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play at the zoo. They loved to see all the animals, but their favorite was the big gorilla. They liked to watch him swing and eat and make funny noises.
+
+One day, they saw a new gorilla in the cage next to the big gorilla. He was smaller and had a different color of fur. He looked sad and scared. Tom and Lily felt sorry for him and wanted to be his friend.
+
+They saw a sign that said "Do not open the cage". But they thought it was not fair that the new gorilla was alone. They waited until no one was looking and opened the cage. They hoped the new gorilla would come out and play with them.
+
+But the new gorilla did not want to play. He was angry and scared. He ran out of the cage and started to roar and chase people. He knocked over a cart and threw bananas at the visitors. He made a big mess and scared everyone.
+
+Tom and Lily realized they had made a big mistake. They ran back to the cage and tried to close it. But it was too late. The big gorilla had also escaped and was looking for the new gorilla. He was not happy to see him. He wanted to fight him and protect his territory.
+
+Tom and Lily were very scared. They hid behind a bench and hoped the gorillas would not see them. They wished they had listened to the sign and not opened the cage. They learned that they should not do things that are not allowed and that they should respect the animals and their homes.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big maze made of hedges and wanted to play inside. Mom said they could, but they had to stay together and not get lost.
+
+Tom and Lily ran into the maze, laughing and having fun. They followed the paths and looked for the way out. But soon, they realized they were in trouble. They could not find each other or the exit. They started to feel scared and lonely.
+
+"Tom, where are you?" Lily shouted.
+
+"Lily, where are you?" Tom shouted.
+
+They heard each other's voices, but they could not see each other. They tried to follow the sound, but they only got more confused. They wished they had listened to mom and stayed together.
+
+Then, they heard another voice. It was mom. She had come to look for them. She called their names and told them to stay where they were. She knew the maze well and could find them.
+
+"Mom, we're here!" Tom and Lily cried.
+
+Mom came to them and hugged them. She was happy to see them, but also a little angry. She told them they had been very silly and careless. They had not gained anything by running away from each other. They had only lost their way and their fun.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry and promised to be more careful and stick together next time. Mom forgave them and took them out of the maze. She said they could still play in the park, but they had to stay close to her and each other.
+
+Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They realized that playing in a maze was not fun if they did not have each other. They decided to be more smart and kind and enjoy their time together.
+One day, a little mouse was looking for food in the garden. He saw a big red apple on the ground and ran towards it. But he did not see the hole in front of him and fell into it. He was scared and hurt.
+
+"Help! Help!" he cried. "Is anyone there?"
+
+A kind rabbit heard his cry and came to the hole. He looked down and saw the mouse.
+
+"Don't worry, little mouse. I will help you," he said. He was compassionate and wanted to help the mouse.
+
+He found a long stick and lowered it into the hole. He told the mouse to hold on to the stick and he pulled him up.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, kind rabbit. You saved me," the mouse said. He was very grateful to the rabbit.
+
+"You're welcome, little mouse. I'm glad you're okay," the rabbit said. He smiled at the mouse.
+
+"Can I be your friend?" the mouse asked. He liked the rabbit.
+
+"Of course, you can. I would love to be your friend," the rabbit said. He liked the mouse too.
+
+They hugged each other and became friends. The rabbit shared his apple with the mouse and they ate it together.
+
+The mouse said, "You remind me of my mother. She was also very kind and compassionate."
+
+The rabbit said, "You remind me of my brother. He was also very brave and adventurous."
+
+They laughed and talked and played in the garden. They were happy and they never forgot each other.

+
+One day, their parent has a surprise for them. They say, "I have a magic trick for you. Do you want to see?" Lily and Max nod and clap. They love magic tricks.
+
+Their parent takes a big scarf and covers their face. They say, "Now, I will change into something else. Can you guess what it is?" Lily and Max try to guess. "A cat? A bird? A dinosaur?"
+
+Their parent shakes their head and says, "No, no, no. It is something very special. Are you ready?" They pull the scarf away and reveal their face. But it is not their face. It is a mask of a clown. Their parent says, "Ta-da! I am a clown now. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily and Max scream and laugh. They think it is very funny and clever. They hug their parent and say, "We love you, clown parent. You are the best." Their parent smiles and says, "I love you too, my sweet twins. You are the best too." They play with the mask and the scarf and have a lot of fun.
+Lily was a flower girl at her aunt's wedding. She wore a pretty dress and a veil on her head. She felt like a princess. She had to march with the other flower girls and boys in front of the bride and groom. She had a basket of petals to throw on the floor.
+
+She was very excited and happy. She liked the music and the people. She smiled and waved at everyone. She threw the petals as hard as she could. She wanted to make the floor look nice and colorful. She saw her mom and dad in the crowd. They clapped and cheered for her.
+
+After the march, she went to the big hall where the party was. There was a lot of food and cake. Lily loved cake. She saw a big white cake with flowers and ribbons. She wanted a slice. She asked her mom if she could have some. Her mom said yes, but she had to wait for the bride and groom to cut the cake first.
+
+Lily waited patiently. She saw the bride and groom come to the cake. They smiled and kissed. They cut the cake and gave each other a bite. They looked very happy. Lily clapped and cheered for them. Then, they gave slices of cake to the flower girls and boys. Lily got a big slice. She took a bite. It was delicious. She ate the whole slice. She felt very full and happy.

+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play near the harbor. They liked to watch the big boats and the small fish in the water. Sometimes they saw seagulls and crabs on the rocks.
+
+One day, Sara had a new toy. It was a red boat that could float on the water. She was very happy and wanted to show it to Tom. She ran to the harbor with her boat and looked for Tom.
+
+She found him sitting on a bench with a sad face. She asked him, "What is wrong, Tom? Why are you sad?"
+
+Tom looked at her and said, "I lost my ball. It rolled into the water and a big wave took it away. I can't get it back. It was my favorite ball."
+
+Sara felt sorry for Tom. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. That is very bad. I know how you feel. I lost my doll once and I cried a lot. But look, I have something to show you. Maybe it will make you feel better."
+
+She showed him her red boat and said, "This is my new toy. It can float on the water and it is very fun. Do you want to play with it?"
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Yes, please. That is a very nice boat. Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend."
+
+Sara and Tom played with the boat on the water. They made it go fast and slow, left and right. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the lost ball and the harsh wave. They were happy.
+Tim has a new toy. It is a robot. The robot is brown and shiny. It can walk, talk and blink. Tim likes to play with the robot.
+
+One day, Tim takes the robot to the park. He wants to show it to his friends. He puts the robot on the grass and turns it on. The robot blinks and says, "Hello, I am Robo. What is your name?"
+
+Tim smiles and says, "I am Tim. You are my robot. Do you want to play with me and my friends?"
+
+The robot nods and says, "Yes, I want to play. What do you like to play?"
+
+Tim thinks for a moment and says, "I like to play catch. Do you know how to play catch?"
+
+The robot says, "No, I do not know how to play catch. How do you play catch?"
+
+Tim explains, "You need a ball. I have a ball. I throw the ball to you and you catch it. Then you throw the ball back to me and I catch it. We do this until we are tired or bored. Do you understand?"
+
+The robot says, "Yes, I understand. That sounds fun. Let us play catch."

+Lily liked to climb. She climbed on chairs, on tables, on beds, on trees. She climbed everywhere she could. But she was not allowed to climb on the big shelf in the living room. Mom said it was too high and too dangerous. There were many things on the shelf that could break or fall.
+
+One day, when Mom was busy in the kitchen, Lily saw something shiny on the shelf. It was a figure of a fairy with wings and a dress. Lily wanted to see it up close. She thought it looked pretty and maybe soft. She pushed a chair to the shelf and climbed on it. She reached for the figure, but it was too far. She stretched her arm and leaned forward.
+
+"Be careful, Lily!" Mom shouted from the kitchen. She heard the chair move and saw Lily on the shelf. She ran to the living room, but it was too late. Lily lost her balance and fell off the chair. The figure also fell and broke into pieces on the floor.
+
+Lily cried. She hurt her knee and her elbow. She also felt sorry for the figure. Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're not badly hurt. But you should never climb on the shelf. It's not safe. And the figure was not yours. It was a gift from Grandma. She will be sad when she sees it."
+
+Lily sniffed and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to touch the fairy. It looked so soft."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I know, Lily. But some things are not meant to be touched. They are meant to be looked at and admired. Like the stars in the sky. They are beautiful, but you can't reach them. You can only enjoy them from afar."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. Can we look at the stars tonight?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course, Lily. We can look at the stars and make a wish. Maybe we can wish for a new figure for Grandma. And for you to be more careful next time."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Mom. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun.
+
+But one day, Lily feels sick. She has a fever and a cough. She can't play with Ben. She stays at home with her mom.
+
+Ben is sad. He misses Lily. He wants to make her feel better. He asks his mom to cook some rice for Lily. He knows that rice is good for sick people.
+
+He puts the rice in a bowl and covers it with a cloth. He walks to Lily's house. He knocks on the door.
+
+"Who is it?" Lily's mom asks.
+
+"It's me, Ben. I have some rice for Lily. Can I see her?" Ben says.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. That's very kind of you. But I'm sorry, you can't see Lily. She is resting in her bed. She is very sick. She needs to sleep and take her medicine." Lily's mom says.
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He wants to see Lily. He wants to give her the rice. He thinks that Lily's mom is mean. He throws the bowl of rice on the ground. The rice spills everywhere. The bowl breaks. Ben runs away.
+
+Lily's mom is shocked. She sees the mess on the ground. She is angry and sad. She picks up the pieces of the bowl. She throws them in the trash. She goes to Lily's room. She sees that Lily is awake. She has tears in her eyes.
+
+"Mom, what was that noise? Was that Ben? Did he bring me something?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, honey, that was Ben. He brought you some rice. But he was very rude. He threw the rice and the bowl on the ground. He broke the bowl. He made a big mess. He didn't care about you." Lily's mom says.
+
+Lily feels sad and confused. She likes Ben. She thinks that he is her friend. She doesn't understand why he did that. She thinks that he hates her. She cries.
+
+"Mom, why did he do that? Why does he hate me? I don't hate him. I miss him. I want to play with him." Lily says.
+
+"I don't know, honey. I don't know why he did that. Maybe he was angry or jealous or scared. Maybe he doesn't hate you. Maybe he just made a mistake. But he was very wrong. He hurt you and me. He needs to say sorry. He needs to learn to be nice." Lily's mom says.
+
+Lily nods. She still feels sad. She wants to see Ben. She wants to talk to him. She wants to eat the rice. She wants to be friends. But she can't. She has to rest. She has to get well. She hopes that Ben will come back. She hopes that he will say sorry. She hopes that he will be nice. She hopes that they will be friends again. But she doesn't know. She closes her eyes. She sleeps.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. Sara saw a big red tomato on a vine. She wanted to pick it and eat it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a tomato!" she said. "Can I have it?"
+
+Ben looked at the tomato. He saw something else on it. Something with eight legs and many eyes. It was a spider. A scary spider.
+
+"No, Sara, don't touch it!" he shouted. "There is a spider on it! A scary spider!"
+
+Sara was scared too. She did not like spiders. She ran away from the tomato. Ben ran after her. They went to the house and closed the door. They did not want the spider to follow them.
+
+"Are you okay, Sara?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay, Ben," Sara said. "But I don't want to eat tomatoes anymore. They have scary spiders on them."
+
+Ben hugged Sara. He said, "Don't worry, Sara. Not all tomatoes have spiders on them. Maybe we can find another tomato that is spider-free. Or we can eat something else. Like apples. Do you like apples?"
+
+Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, I like apples. They are sweet and crunchy. And they don't have scary spiders on them."
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "Let's go and find some apples then. Maybe Mom has some in the kitchen. Come on, Sara."
+
+Sara and Ben opened the door and went to the kitchen. They forgot about the scary spider and the tomato. They were happy to eat apples together.
+Anna and Ben were bored. They wanted to play outside, but it was raining. Their mom said they could play in the attic. She gave them a flashlight and told them to be careful.
+
+The attic was dark and dusty. There were many boxes and old things. Anna and Ben saw a big book on a shelf. It had a picture of a maze on the cover. "Let's look at this book," Anna said. She reached for the book, but it was too high. She asked Ben to help her.
+
+Ben climbed on a chair and grabbed the book. But when he pulled it, the shelf moved. It was a secret door. It opened and showed a long hallway. "Wow, look at this!" Ben said. He shone the flashlight on the hallway. It looked like a maze.
+
+Anna and Ben were curious. They wanted to explore the maze. They took the book and the flashlight and went inside. They closed the door behind them. They did not know that the door had a lock.
+
+The maze was gloomy and scary. There were many twists and turns. Anna and Ben tried to follow the map in the book, but they got lost. They heard strange noises and saw shadows. They wished they had stayed in the attic.
+
+"Ben, I'm scared," Anna said. "Me too," Ben said. "Let's go back." They turned around and walked back. But they could not find the door. They had forgotten where it was. They were trapped in the maze.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a crane. The truck stops near a house. The crane lifts a big window and puts it on the wall.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "The window is so big and shiny!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Anna says. "The crane is so strong and tall!"
+
+They watch the truck and the crane for a long time. They see the men fix the window on the wall. They hear the men talk and hammer.
+
+"Can we go closer?" Tom asks. "I want to see the window better."
+
+"OK, but be careful," Anna says. "The truck and the crane are loud and fast."
+
+They walk closer to the house. They see the window more clearly. It has many colors and shapes. It looks like a rainbow.
+
+"Hello, kids," a man says. He is one of the men who fix the window. He smiles at them. "Do you like the window?"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Tom and Anna say. "It is so pretty and bright!"
+
+The man nods. He says, "This is a special window. It is for a church. It is called a stained glass window. It makes the light look beautiful."
+
+"Wow, that is cool!" Tom says. "How do you make a stained glass window?"
+
+The man explains. He says, "We cut pieces of glass in different shapes and colors. Then we put them together with metal. We use a pattern to make a picture. This window has a picture of a cross and some flowers."
+
+"That is amazing!" Anna says. "You are very good at making windows!"
+
+The man thanks them. He says, "You are very kind. Do you want to see the window from inside the church?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Anna say.
+
+The man takes them to the church. He opens the door and lets them in. They see the window from inside. The sun shines through the glass. The colors and shapes make a beautiful light.
+
+"Wow, this is even prettier!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Anna says.
+
+They thank the man for showing them the window. They say goodbye and go back to the park. They are happy and amazed. They have learned something new. They have seen a special window.
+Anna liked to play in the old chamber. It was a big room with many things to see and touch. There were books and toys and clothes and pictures. Anna liked to make stories with them.
+
+One day, Anna found a shiny thing in a box. It was a necklace with a blue stone. Anna put it on and felt like a queen. She wanted to show her mom and dad.
+
+But when she went to the door, it was locked. Anna was scared. She did not know how to open it. She called for help, but no one heard her.
+
+She cried and cried. She wished she had not gone to the old chamber. She wished she had stayed with her mom and dad. She did not care about the shiny thing anymore. She only wanted to hug them and tell them she loved them.
+
+She did not know that her mom and dad were looking for her. They had heard a noise in the old chamber and went to see. They saw the locked door and tried to open it. They did not know that Anna was inside. They did not know that she had found the necklace.
+
+The necklace was very old and very valuable. It belonged to Anna's great-grandma. She had hidden it in the old chamber long ago. She had wanted to keep it safe and pass it on to her family.
+
+But Anna did not know that. She only knew that she was alone and afraid. She took off the necklace and put it back in the box. She hugged her teddy bear and prayed for her mom and dad to find her.
+
+And they did. They broke the door and saw Anna. They ran to her and hugged her and kissed her. They told her they were sorry and they loved her. They asked her what she was doing in the old chamber.
+
+Anna told them about the shiny thing. She said she was sorry for taking it. She said she did not want it anymore. She said she only wanted them.
+
+Her mom and dad smiled and wiped her tears. They told her it was okay. They told her they were proud of her. They told her the shiny thing was a gift from her great-grandma. They told her it was very valuable, but not as valuable as she was.
+
+They took the necklace and put it around Anna's neck. They said it was hers now. They said she could keep it and wear it and remember her great-grandma. They said they would always be with her and protect her.
+
+Anna smiled and hugged them. She felt happy and safe. She liked the shiny thing, but she loved her mom and dad more. She learned that some things are valuable, but some things are priceless.
+Ben likes to play with his dog Spike. Spike is a big dog with black fur and sharp teeth. Spike is also very dependable. He always listens to Ben and does what he says.
+
+One day, Ben and Spike go to the park. They see a ball on the grass. Ben wants to play with the ball. He picks it up and throws it as far as he can. Spike runs after the ball. He is very fast and strong.
+

+Tom and Mia were hungry. They wanted a snack. They saw a big jar of cookies on the shelf. But the shelf was too high for them.
+
+"Let's get a chair," Tom said. He dragged a chair from the table. He climbed on the chair. He tried to reach the jar. But it was still too far.
+
+"Lean, Tom, lean!" Mia said. She pushed the chair closer to the shelf. Tom leaned over the edge of the chair. He stretched his arm. He touched the jar. He pulled it towards him.
+
+But the jar was heavy. And the chair was wobbly. Tom lost his balance. He fell off the chair. The jar fell with him. It broke on the floor. Cookies and glass flew everywhere.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He had a cut on his hand. He had a bump on his head. He was scared and sad.
+
+Mia ran to him. She hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?"
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "I'm okay, Mia. But I'm cold. And I'm still hungry."
+
+Mia looked around. She saw a blanket on the sofa. She saw a banana on the table. She had an idea.
+
+She said, "Come on, Tom. Let's go to the sofa. We can wrap the blanket around us. We can share the banana. It's a better snack than cookies."
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "Okay, Mia. You're a good sister. I love you."
+
+They went to the sofa. They cuddled under the blanket. They ate the banana. They felt warm and full. They forgot about the cookies and the glass. They were happy.

+The girl says, "No, this is my balloon. I got it from my mom. It is special to me."
+
+Lily feels sad. She says, "But I love pink. And your balloon is so amazing. Please, can I have it?"
+
+The girl says, "No, you can't have it. You have to ask nicely. And you have to share. Do you have something pink to share with me?"
+
+Lily thinks. She looks at her pink things. She likes them all. But she wants the balloon more. She says, "I have a pink ball. Do you want to play with it?"
+
+The girl says, "Yes, I like balls. They are fun. OK, you can have my balloon for a while. But you have to give it back. And you have to be careful. Don't let it fly away."
+
+Lily says, "Thank you. You are very nice. I will be careful. And I will give it back. Come, let's play with the ball and the balloon."
+
+The girl says, "OK, let's play. What is your name?"

+Lily says, "I am Lily. What is your name?"
+
+The girl says, "I am Mia. Nice to meet you, Lily."
+
+Lily and Mia play with the ball and the balloon. They have fun. They become friends. They share their pink things. They are happy.
+Lily likes to read books. She has many books in her room. She likes books with animals, like lions and bears and birds. She likes to make sounds like the animals when she reads.
+
+One day, she finds a new book in her room. It is a big book with a picture of a lion on the cover. Lily is happy. She opens the book and sees many pictures of lions. She sees lions in the grass, lions on the rocks, lions with cubs. She reads the words under the pictures. She learns that lions are strong and brave and loud.
+
+She wants to be like a lion. She stands up on her bed and holds the book. She makes a big face and roars like a lion. She roars again and again. She feels strong and brave and loud.
+
+But then she hears a knock on the door. It is her mom. She opens the door and sees Lily on the bed with the book. She smiles and says, "What are you doing, Lily?"
+
+Lily stops roaring and looks at her mom. She feels shy and weak and quiet. She says, "I am a lion, mom. I am reading a book about lions. They are strong and brave and loud."
+
+Her mom nods and says, "I see. You are a very good lion, Lily. And you are a very good reader, too. But you know what? Lions also need to rest and be gentle and kind. Can you show me how you can be a gentle and kind lion?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She puts the book down and jumps off the bed. She runs to her mom and gives her a big hug. She says, "I love you, mom. You are my best friend."
+
+Her mom hugs her back and says, "I love you, too, Lily. You are my best lion." They laugh and cuddle on the bed. They look at the book together and learn more about lions. Lily roars softly and her mom roars softly, too. They are happy.
+Sara was hungry. She wanted to eat something cold and sweet. She went to the kitchen and opened the freezer. She searched for ice cream, but there was none. She searched for popsicles, but there was none. She searched for frozen yogurt, but there was none. She felt sad and angry.
+
+She saw her brother Tom sitting on the couch. He was eating a big bowl of ice cream. He had a big smile on his face. Sara ran to him and said, "Tom, give me some ice cream! You are not nice! You ate all the ice cream!"
+
+Tom looked at her and said, "No, Sara, this is my ice cream. I bought it with my money. You did not help me with the chores. You were lazy. You have no ice cream. You are poor."
+
+Sara cried and said, "That is not fair! You are mean! You are greedy! You have to share! Ice cream is for everyone!"
+
+Tom shook his head and said, "No, Sara, ice cream is for me. You have to work hard and save money. Then you can buy your own ice cream. Or you can eat something else. There is bread and cheese in the fridge. You are not poor. You are just silly."
+
+Sara stomped her feet and said, "I don't want bread and cheese! I want ice cream! I want ice cream! I want ice cream!"
+
+She tried to grab Tom's bowl, but he held it high. They started to fight and yell. Their mom heard them and came to the living room. She saw them and said, "Stop it, both of you! What is going on here?"
+
+She listened to their story and said, "Tom, you should be more generous and kind. Ice cream is a treat, not a necessity. You can share a little bit with your sister. Sara, you should be more grateful and respectful. Ice cream is not a right, but a privilege. You can't demand it from your brother. You can ask him nicely or wait for your turn."
+
+She took the bowl from Tom and gave him a spoon. She gave Sara another spoon and said, "Here, you can both have some ice cream. But only a little bit. And then you have to eat something healthy. And then you have to apologize to each other and hug. And then you have to play nicely. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Sara nodded and said, "Yes, mom, we understand."
+
+They took a bite of ice cream and said, "Mmm, this is good."
+
+They looked at each other and said, "Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Sara."
+
+They hugged and said, "I love you, Tom. I love you, Sara."
+
+They smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best."
+
+They finished their ice cream and ate some bread and cheese. They went to their room and played with their toys. They were happy and friendly. They learned their lesson. The end.
+Lily loved to sing. She sang all day and all night. She sang when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She wanted to be an opera singer when she grew up. She had a big voice and a big dream.
+
+One day, she saw a poster for an opera show. It had a picture of a lady in a fancy dress and a man in a suit. They looked happy and beautiful. Lily wanted to see them sing. She asked her mom if they could go.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, we can't go to the opera. It's too expensive and too far away. And you're too young to sit still for so long. Maybe when you're older, you can go to the opera." Mom said.
+
+Lily was sad. She felt angry and hurt. She didn't understand why mom said no. She thought mom didn't care about her dream. She ran to her room and slammed the door. She cried on her bed.
+
+That night, she had a bad dream. She dreamed that she was at the opera. She was wearing a fancy dress and a big hat. She was so excited and enthusiastic. She wanted to sing with the lady and the man. But when she opened her mouth, nothing came out. She tried to sing louder and louder, but she was mute. Everyone laughed at her. They pointed and jeered. They threw tomatoes and eggs at her. She felt ashamed and scared. She wanted to run away, but she couldn't move. She was stuck on the stage.
+
+She woke up with a scream. She was sweating and shaking. She realized it was only a dream, but it felt so real. She felt like her dream was broken. She didn't want to sing anymore. She didn't want to be an opera singer anymore. She felt like she had no voice. She felt like she had no hope.
+Anna and Ben were going on a big trip with Mom and Dad. They had to take a plane to a new place. Mom and Dad said they had to pack their bags and bring their passports. Passports were small books with their names and pictures. They were very important for the trip.
+
+Anna and Ben put their passports in their backpacks. They were very excited to see the plane. It was very big and impressive. It had wings and windows and a long nose. They followed Mom and Dad to the airport. They had to wait in a long line and show their passports to a man. The man looked at their passports and smiled. He said they could go on the plane.
+
+Anna and Ben found their seats on the plane. They buckled their belts and looked out the window. They saw the plane move and go faster and faster. Then it lifted off the ground and flew in the sky. Anna and Ben clapped and cheered. They felt happy and proud. They had their passports and they were going on a big trip.
+
+"Look, Anna, we are flying!" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, Ben, we are flying!" Anna said.
+
+They hugged their passports and each other. They wanted to protect their passports and keep them safe. They knew their passports were special and helped them go to new places. They wondered what they would see and do on their trip. They hoped it would be fun and amazing. They closed their eyes and dreamed.

+

+

+
+"Wow, you have a train, a ball, a doll, a car, and many more. Can I play with the train?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, you can play with the train. It is my favorite toy, but I can share it with you," Tom says.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are very nice," the boy says. He takes the train and plays with it on the grass.
+
+Tom, Lily, and the boy play together for a long time. They are happy and make new friends. They share their toys and have fun. They are glad that they have a big case with many toys available.
+Lily was excited. She had a calendar on her wall. It had pictures of flowers and animals. Every day, she put a sticker on the calendar. The sticker showed how many days until her birthday.
+
+She wanted to grow big and strong like her big brother. He could ride a bike and read books. He told her stories and played with her. He was very nice.
+
+One day, Lily asked her brother, "How can I grow faster?"
+
+He smiled and said, "You need to eat healthy food, drink water, sleep well, and exercise. And you need to be happy and curious. That's how you grow."
+
+Lily nodded. She liked healthy food, water, sleep, and exercise. She was happy and curious. She asked many questions and learned new things.
+
+She said, "Thank you, brother. You are very smart and kind. I want to be like you."
+
+He hugged her and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are very sweet and brave. I love you."
+
+They looked at the calendar. It had only two stickers left. Lily's birthday was very soon. They were both excited. They wondered what they would do and what they would get. They hoped it would be a fun and special day.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys in the water. They have a duck, a boat, a frog and a ball. They splash and laugh.
+
+But one day, Mom says they need to wash their hair. She has a bottle of shampoo. It is pink and smells good. Mom says shampoo makes their hair clean and soft.
+
+Lily does not mind. She likes shampoo. She lets Mom put some on her head. She closes her eyes and smiles. Mom rubs her hair and rinses it with water. Lily says, "Thank you, Mom. My hair is nice."
+
+Tom does not like shampoo. He hates shampoo. He thinks shampoo is yucky and ouchy. He does not want Mom to put any on his head. He shakes his head and says, "No, Mom. No shampoo. I do not like shampoo."
+
+Mom says, "Tom, you have to wash your hair. Shampoo is good for you. It will not hurt you. Come on, be a good boy."
+
+Tom says, "No, no, no!" He hides under the water. He holds his breath. He does not want to see the shampoo. He does not want to feel the shampoo. He does not want to smell the shampoo.
+
+Mom waits for Tom to come up. She says, "Tom, you cannot stay under the water. You need to breathe. You need to wash your hair. Please, come out."
+
+Tom comes out. He is angry. He is wet. He is cold. He sees the shampoo in Mom's hand. He is scared. He grabs the ball and throws it at Mom. He says, "Go away, Mom. Go away with your shampoo. I do not want it. I do not need it. I do not like it."
+
+The ball hits Mom in the face. It hurts. Mom is sad. She is wet. She is cold. She drops the shampoo. It spills on the floor. It makes a mess. Mom says, "Tom, that was not nice. That was not good. You made me sad. You made a mess. You have to say sorry. You have to clean up. You have to wash your hair."
+
+Tom sees Mom's face. He sees the shampoo on the floor. He sees the mess. He feels bad. He says, "Sorry, Mom. I did not mean to hurt you. I did not mean to make a mess. I was scared of the shampoo. I do not like it. It is cold. It is ouchy. It is yucky."
+
+Mom says, "It is okay, Tom. I forgive you. I love you. But you have to try the shampoo. It is not cold. It is not ouchy. It is not yucky. It is warm. It is gentle. It is nice. It will make your hair clean and soft. Just like Lily's. Do you want to have hair like Lily's?"
+
+Tom looks at Lily. He sees her hair. It is clean and soft. It shines. It smells good. He says, "Yes, Mom. I want to have hair like Lily's. I will try the shampoo. But can you be careful? Can you be slow? Can you be nice?"
+
+Mom says, "Of course, Tom. I will be careful. I will be slow. I will be nice. I will help you wash your hair. You will see. It will not be so bad. It will be fun. Just like playing in the bath."
+
+Mom picks up the shampoo. She wipes the floor. She smiles at Tom. She says, "Are you ready, Tom?"
+
+Tom nods. He says, "Yes, Mom. I am ready. I will be brave. I will be good. I will wash my hair."
+
+Mom and Tom wash Tom's hair. Lily and the toys watch. They cheer. They clap. They say, "Yay, Tom. You did it. You washed your hair. You are clean. You are soft. You are nice."
+
+Tom feels the shampoo on his head. He feels the water on his hair. He feels the towel on his body. He feels the hug from Mom. He feels happy. He says, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Lily. Thank you, toys. I did it. I washed my hair. I am clean. I am soft. I am nice. I like shampoo."
+Ben and Mia liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had a blue car, a red truck, a yellow ball and a green doll. They made fun noises and stories with their toys.
+
+One day, a big dog came into the garden. It saw the toys and wanted to play too. But it did not play nicely. It bit the blue car and the red truck. It tore the yellow ball and the green doll. Ben and Mia were scared and ran inside the house.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, a big dog is in the garden! It is breaking our toys!" Ben cried.
+
+"Oh no, that is a threat! We have to make it go away!" Mommy said. She took a broom and went outside. She waved the broom at the dog and shouted, "Shoo, shoo, go away, bad dog! Leave the toys alone!"
+
+The dog was afraid of the broom and the noise. It ran away from the garden. Mommy came back inside with the toys. They were all damaged and dirty.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben and Mia, your toys are ruined. The dog was very naughty," Mommy said.
+
+"Can you fix them, Mommy? Can you restore them?" Mia asked.
+
+"I will try, Mia. Maybe I can glue the car and the truck, and sew the ball and the doll. But they might not look the same as before," Mommy said.
+
+"That's okay, Mommy. We still love them. Thank you for saving them from the dog," Ben said.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben. You and Mia are very brave. Now let's go inside and have some cookies and milk," Mommy said.
+
+Ben and Mia smiled and hugged Mommy. They were happy that Mommy could restore their toys and that the dog was gone. They hoped that the dog would not come back and that their toys would be safe.
+Tom liked to bite things. He bit his toys, his food, his clothes, and sometimes his friends. His mom and dad told him not to bite, but he did not listen. He thought biting was fun and made him strong.
+
+One day, Tom went to the park with his mom. He saw a big stone on the ground. It was round and shiny and had many colors. Tom wanted to bite it. He ran to the stone and opened his mouth. He bit hard and fast.
+
+But the stone was not soft or tasty. It was hard and hurtful. Tom felt a big pain in his teeth. He let go of the stone and cried. His mom came and hugged him. She looked at his mouth and saw blood. She said, "Oh, Tom, you bit a stone. That was not a good idea. Stones are not for biting. They can break your teeth and make you bleed. You need to see a doctor."
+
+Tom was scared and sorry. He did not want to see a doctor. He did not want to bite anything anymore. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't bite again. I promise."
+
+His mom smiled and kissed him. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I love you. But you need to be careful and gentle. Biting is not nice or fun. It can hurt you and others. You can use your teeth for other things, like smiling and talking and eating. Those are better ways to be strong and popular."
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big yellow slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Can we go on the slide, Mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, you can. But be careful and take turns," Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben run to the slide. Lily goes first. She sits on the slide and slides down. She laughs and says, "Whee! That was fun!"
+
+Ben goes next. He sits on the slide and slides down. He smiles and says, "Wow! That was fast!"
+
+They go on the slide again and again. They have a lot of fun.
+
+They see a yellow bird on a tree. The bird sings a pretty song.
+
+"Look, a yellow bird!" Lily says.
+
+"Hello, yellow bird!" Ben says.
+
+The bird flies away. Lily and Ben wave to the bird.
+
+They see a yellow flower on the grass. The flower smells nice.
+
+"Look, a yellow flower!" Ben says.
+
+"Can I pick it, Mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, you can. But only one, OK?" Mom says.
+
+Lily picks the yellow flower. She gives it to Mom.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. That's very sweet of you," Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben hug Mom. They love the park. They love the yellow things. They are happy.
+Tom was a boy who liked to wander. He did not listen to his mom and dad when they told him to stay near the house. He wanted to see new things and have fun. One day, he wandered far away from his home. He saw a big road with many cars and trucks. He wanted to cross the road, but he did not look both ways.
+
+A car honked at him and he got scared. He ran to the other side of the road and found a park. He saw a fountain with water and coins. He thought the coins were shiny and pretty. He wanted to have some coins for himself. He put his hand in the fountain and grabbed a coin. But the coin was not shiny and pretty. It was dirty and sticky. He felt something bite his hand. It was a fish. The fish was angry that Tom took his coin. Tom dropped the coin and ran away. He cried and his hand hurt.
+
+He wished he had listened to his mom and dad. He did not know how to go back home. He was lost and afraid. He saw a lady with a badge and a hat. She was a police officer. She saw Tom and asked him what was wrong. Tom told her his name and where he lived. She said she would help him find his mom and dad. She took him to her car and drove him home. Tom was happy to see his mom and dad. They hugged him and kissed him. They were worried about him. They asked him where he had been. Tom told them everything. He said he was sorry for wandering and taking the coin. He said he learned his lesson. His mom and dad said they were glad he was safe. They said they loved him. They said he should always listen to them and be careful. They said he should not take things that are not his. They said he should be kind and respectful to the fish and the fountain. Tom said he understood. He said he loved them too. He said he would not wander again. He said he would be a good boy. He gave them his dirty and sticky hand. They laughed and cleaned it. They gave him a band-aid and a cookie. They all smiled and hugged. The end.
+Sara was a very independent girl. She liked to do things by herself, like dressing up, brushing her teeth, and reading books. She did not like to share her toys, especially her purple teddy bear. She always hugged it tight and said, "Mine!"
+
+One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and her purple teddy bear. She saw a boy playing with a red truck. She wanted to play with it too, so she ran to the boy and said, "Give me!" The boy did not like that. He said, "No, this is mine!" They both pulled the truck and started to cry.
+
+Sara's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Sara and the boy fighting over the truck. She said, "Sara, you have to share. You can't just take things from others. How would you feel if someone took your purple teddy bear?" Sara looked at her teddy bear and felt sorry. She did not want anyone to take it from her. She said, "Sorry, boy. Here, you can have your truck back." She gave the truck to the boy and smiled.
+
+The boy was surprised and happy. He said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very nice. Do you want to play with me?" Sara nodded and said, "Yes, please. Can I see your truck?" The boy said, "Sure, you can. And can I see your purple teddy bear?" Sara said, "Yes, you can. But be careful, he is very soft." They both laughed and played together. Sara learned to share and make a new friend. She was still independent, but she also knew how to surrender.
+Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat salad for lunch. But they had to wash the salad first. They went to the kitchen and found a big bowl and a faucet.
+
+"Can you help me wash the salad, Ben?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, Anna. You are my big sister. You are dependable. You always help me," Ben said.
+
+They put the salad in the bowl and turned on the faucet. The water was cold and clean. They rubbed the salad with their hands to make it wet. They liked to play with the water and the salad. They laughed and splashed.
+
+But they did not see the cat. The cat was sneaky. The cat liked to eat salad too. The cat jumped on the counter and looked at the bowl. The cat saw the water and the salad. The cat licked its lips.
+
+The cat waited for a chance. Anna and Ben were busy washing the salad. They did not look at the cat. The cat saw its chance. The cat pounced on the bowl and knocked it over. The water and the salad spilled on the floor. The cat grabbed a big piece of salad and ran away.
+
+Anna and Ben heard a loud noise. They turned around and saw the mess. They saw the cat with the salad in its mouth. They were shocked and sad.
+
+"Bad cat! Bad cat! You took our salad!" Anna and Ben shouted.
+
+The cat did not care. The cat was happy. The cat ate the salad and purred.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the pool. They liked to splash and swim and pretend they were fish. Tom had a new toy, a razor. It was shiny and sharp and he wanted to show it to Lily.
+
+"Look, Lily, look what I have!" he said, holding the razor in his hand. "It can cut anything!"
+
+Lily was curious and came closer. She saw the razor and felt scared. She knew it was not a toy and it could hurt them.
+
+"Tom, that is not a toy, that is a razor. It is for grown-ups, not for kids. You should put it back where you found it," she said.
+
+Tom did not listen. He wanted to play with the razor. He thought it was fun and cool. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's play a game, Lily. Let's see who can dive deeper in the pool. And whoever dives deeper can have the razor," he said.
+
+Lily did not like the game. She did not want the razor. She wanted Tom to be safe and friendly. But she did not want to make him angry or sad. She agreed to play the game.
+
+"Okay, Tom, let's play. But be careful with the razor, okay?" she said.
+
+Tom nodded and smiled. He put the razor in his pocket and got ready to dive. He counted to three and jumped into the water. He dove as deep as he could, feeling the razor in his pocket.
+
+Lily watched him from the edge of the pool. She hoped he would come back soon. She hoped he would not cut himself with the razor. She hoped he would realize the razor was not a toy.
+
+But Tom did not come back soon. He stayed under the water for too long. He felt something sting his leg. He looked down and saw blood. He had cut himself with the razor. He felt pain and fear. He tried to swim back to the surface, but he was too deep and too weak.
+
+Lily saw the bubbles and the blood. She screamed for help. She jumped into the water and tried to find Tom. She grabbed his hand and pulled him up. She cried and called his name.
+
+Tom opened his eyes and saw Lily. He saw her tears and heard her voice. He felt sorry and ashamed. He wished he had listened to her. He wished he had not played with the razor. He wished he had been friendly and smart.
+
+He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry. You were right, the razor is not a toy. It is dangerous and bad. I will never play with it again. I will never hurt you or me again. I love you, Lily, you are my best friend."
+
+Lily hugged him back and said, "I love you too, Tom, you are my best friend. I'm glad you are okay. But we need to get help. We need to tell a grown-up what happened. We need to make your leg better."
+
+They got out of the pool and ran to find a grown-up. They learned their lesson. They never played with razors again. They only played with friendly and safe toys. They were happy and careful and good.
+Tom was a chubby boy who liked to eat a lot of cake and candy. He did not like to play outside or run with his friends. He only wanted to sit on the couch and watch TV. His mom and dad told him that he should eat less sweets and more fruits and vegetables. They also told him that he should exercise more and have fun in the sun. But Tom did not listen to them. He said he was happy the way he was.

+One day, it was very hot outside. Tom felt very sweaty and thirsty. He wanted to drink some water, but he had none. He had only soda and juice, which made him feel more hot and sticky. He wanted to go to the store and buy some water, but he had no money. He had spent all his money on cake and candy. He looked around his room and saw that he had no toys or books either. He had only wrappers and crumbs. He felt very bored and sad.
+
+He decided to go outside and see if he could find some water and some fun. He put on his shoes and his hat and walked out the door. But as soon as he stepped outside, he felt very tired and heavy. He could not walk very fast or very far. He saw his friends playing in the park, but he could not join them. He saw a fountain with water, but he could not reach it. He saw a ice cream truck, but he could not buy anything. He felt very hot and hungry and lonely.
+
+He realized that he had made a big mistake. He had eaten too much sweets and not enough healthy food. He had not exercised or played or learned anything new. He had become chubby and lazy and unhappy. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad. He wished he had taken care of his body and his mind. He wished he could start over and do things differently.
+
+He decided to go back home and apologize to his mom and dad. He told them that he was sorry for not listening to them. He told them that he wanted to change his habits and his attitude. He asked them to help him eat better and exercise more. He asked them to teach him new things and play with him. He told them that he wanted to be healthy and happy and have fun. His mom and dad hugged him and said that they were proud of him. They said that they loved him no matter what, but they were glad that he wanted to improve himself. They said that they would help him and support him and have fun with him. Tom felt very relieved and grateful. He felt a new hope and a new energy. He felt ready to become a better boy.
+
+The moral of the story is: You should eat healthy, exercise, and learn new things to be happy and have fun. You should listen to your parents and respect their advice. You should love yourself and take care of yourself. You should not become chubby and lazy and unhappy.
+Sara and Tom are playing with their toy cars. They like to make them speed on the floor and crash into each other. Sara has a red car and Tom has a blue car.
+
+"Look at my car, it is so fast!" Sara says. "It can beat your car any time!"
+
+"No way, my car is faster and stronger!" Tom says. "It can smash your car to pieces!"
+
+They decide to have a race. They line up their cars at one end of the room and count to three. Then they push their cars as hard as they can and watch them speed to the other end.
+
+But there is a problem. On the floor, there is a nail that Sara's dad left when he was fixing the shelf. Sara's car hits the nail and pops its tire. It stops and makes a loud noise.
+
+"Oh no, my car is broken!" Sara cries. "It is not fair!"
+
+Tom's car reaches the other end and wins the race. He is happy, but he sees that Sara is sad. He feels sorry for her.
+
+"Hey, Sara, don't cry," he says. "It was just an accident. Here, you can have my car. It is amazing, just like yours."
+
+"Really? You would give me your car?" Sara says. She wipes her tears and smiles.
+
+"Sure, why not? We are friends, right?" Tom says. He hands her his blue car.
+
+"Thank you, Tom, you are very nice," Sara says. She hugs him and takes his car.
+
+They decide to play together with both cars. They forget about the nail and the race. They have fun and laugh. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red truck. They liked to drive the truck around the room and make loud noises. They also liked to share the truck and take turns.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to go to the store with her. She told them to pick one toy each to bring with them. Anna and Ben both wanted to bring the truck, but there was only one truck. They started to fight over the truck and pull it from each other. Their mom was not happy. She said they had to leave the truck at home and find another toy.
+
+Anna and Ben did not listen to their mom. They kept fighting over the truck and did not mention any other toy. Their mom got very angry. She took the truck away from them and put it in the trash. She said they could not have the truck anymore. She said they had to go to the store without any toy.
+
+Anna and Ben were very sad and mad. They cried and screamed all the way to the store. They did not have any fun at the store. They did not see any other toy they liked. They missed their truck and wished they had shared it. They wished they had mentioned another toy to their mom. They wished they had been peaceful and nice. But it was too late. The truck was gone and they had no toy. The end.
+Lily liked to wonder about many things. She wondered why the sky was blue, why the grass was green, and why the birds sang. She also wondered what was inside the beans that her mom cooked for dinner. She liked to eat beans, but she wanted to know more.
+
+One day, she asked her mom if she could have a bean to play with. Her mom said yes, but she had to be polite and not make a mess. Lily said thank you and took a bean to her room. She put the bean on her table and looked at it closely. She saw that it had a small hole on one side. She wondered what was in the hole.
+
+She got a toothpick and gently poked the hole. She was surprised when the bean split open and a tiny green sprout came out. She wondered how the sprout grew inside the bean. She touched the sprout and felt that it was soft and wet. She wondered if the sprout would grow bigger and make more beans.
+
+She decided to plant the bean and the sprout in a small pot with some soil. She watered it every day and put it near the window. She wondered what would happen next. She hoped that the bean would grow into a big plant with many beans. She wondered if she could eat the beans or share them with her mom. She was very curious and excited about her bean. She thought that beans were amazing and wonderful.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many branches. They want to climb the tree and see the birds.
+
+"Look, Lily, a branch for us!" Tom says. He points to a branch that is low and wide. He runs to the tree and grabs the branch. He pulls himself up and sits on the branch.
+
+"Wait for me, Tom!" Lily says. She runs after him and tries to reach the branch. But she is too small. She jumps and jumps, but she cannot grab the branch.
+
+"Stretch, Lily, stretch!" Tom says. He leans down and holds out his hand. "I will help you!"
+
+Lily stretches her arm as far as she can. She touches Tom's hand, but she slips and falls. She lands on the grass and starts to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily says. She rubs her knee. It is red and hurts.
+
+Tom jumps down from the branch and runs to Lily. He hugs her and says he is sorry.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. It was an accident," Lily says. She wipes her tears and smiles.
+
+They see a dry leaf on the ground. It is brown and crunchy. They pick it up and play with it. They make it fly in the air and catch it. They laugh and forget about the branch. They are happy.
+Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play in their humble backyard. They had a small swing, a sandbox and some toys. One day, they found a big stick and decided to have a sword fight with it.
+
+"Ha, I will poke you with my stick!" Sam said, swinging the stick at Tom.
+
+"No, you won't, I will poke you first!" Tom said, dodging the stick and trying to poke Sam back.
+
+They ran around the backyard, poking each other with the stick, laughing and having fun. But they did not see the hole in the fence, where a mean dog lived. The dog heard the noise and got angry. He barked and growled and jumped over the fence.
+
+"Look out, a dog!" Sam shouted, dropping the stick and running to the house.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom cried, following Sam. But he was too slow. The dog caught him and bit him hard. Tom screamed and fell to the ground. The dog kept biting him and shaking him.
+
+Sam reached the door and opened it. He called for his mom and dad. They came out and saw the dog and Tom. They were scared and sad. They yelled at the dog and threw things at him. The dog let go of Tom and ran away.
+
+They ran to Tom and picked him up. He was bleeding and hurt. They took him to the car and drove to the hospital. Sam cried and wished he had not poked Tom with the stick. He wished they had not played in the backyard. He wished the dog had not come. He wished Tom was okay. But he did not know if Tom would be okay. He felt very sorry and very bad. The end.
+Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a set of furniture for their dolls. They had a sofa, a table, a bed, and a chair. The furniture was pale, like the color of milk.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia were playing with their furniture in their room. They set the sofa and the table in the middle of the floor, and the bed and the chair near the window. They pretended that their dolls were having a tea party.
+
+"Would you like some tea, Mrs. Doll?" Mia asked, holding a tiny cup.
+
+"Yes, please, Mr. Doll," Tom answered, making a sipping sound.
+
+They were having fun, until their mom came in. She saw the furniture on the floor and frowned.
+
+"Tom and Mia, what are you doing?" she asked. "You know you have to put your toys away when you are done playing. You can't leave them on the floor. Someone could trip and get hurt."
+
+Tom and Mia looked at each other. They knew their mom was right, but they didn't want to stop playing.
+
+"Can we play a little more, mom?" Mia asked.
+
+"Please, mom?" Tom added.
+
+Their mom shook her head. "No, you have to put your toys away now. It's time for lunch. And you have to learn to be responsible and tidy. That's a good habit to have."
+
+Tom and Mia sighed. They knew their mom loved them and wanted them to be good. They picked up their furniture and put it back in the box. They said sorry to their mom and gave her a hug.
+
+"Thank you, Tom and Mia," their mom said. "I'm proud of you for listening and doing the right thing. Now, let's go have some lunch. I made your favorite, macaroni and cheese."
+
+Tom and Mia smiled. They were hungry and happy. They learned that playing was fun, but putting away their toys was important too. They decided to do that every time they finished playing. They loved their mom and their toys, and their pale furniture set.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with their blocks. Sometimes they would measure their blocks with a ruler to see how long and wide they were.
+
+One day, they decided to build a big castle with all their blocks. They worked hard and used their ruler to make sure their walls and towers were straight and even. They were very patient and careful with their blocks. They wanted their castle to be the best one ever.
+
+"Look, Sara, our castle is almost done!" Ben said. "We just need to put the roof on the big tower. Can you hand me that blue block?"
+
+Sara looked for the blue block, but she could not find it. She wondered where it was. She looked under the table, behind the couch, and in the toy box. She could not see the blue block anywhere.
+
+"Ben, I can't find the blue block!" Sara said. "Where did it go?"
+
+Ben looked around, too. He could not see the blue block, either. He wondered who took it. He thought maybe their dog, Spot, had taken it. He liked to chew on their blocks sometimes.
+
+"Maybe Spot has it," Ben said. "Let's go look for him."
+
+They left their castle and went to look for Spot. They searched the whole house, but they could not find him. They wondered where he was. They heard a noise from outside. It sounded like barking.
+
+They ran to the window and looked outside. They saw Spot in the yard. He had something in his mouth. It was the blue block!
+
+"Spot, you naughty dog!" Sara and Ben shouted. "Give us back our blue block!"
+
+They ran outside to get their block from Spot. But Spot thought they wanted to play. He ran away from them, wagging his tail. He did not want to give up his blue block.
+
+Sara and Ben chased him around the yard, trying to catch him. They were not patient and careful anymore. They were angry and frustrated. They wanted their block back.
+
+They did not notice that their castle was in danger. A gust of wind blew through the window. It knocked over their castle. Their blocks fell down and scattered everywhere.
+
+Their castle was ruined. Sara and Ben did not see it. They were too busy chasing Spot. They wondered why he was so fast and clever. They wondered if they would ever get their blue block back. They wondered if they would ever finish their castle.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park. One night, they see a big poster. It has a picture of a famous singer. He has a guitar and a hat. The poster says he will sing in the park tomorrow.
+
+"Wow, he is famous!" Tom says. "I want to see him sing!"
+
+"Me too!" Mia says. "But how can we go? It is too far for us to walk. And Mom and Dad will not take us. They do not like loud music."
+
+Tom thinks hard. He has an idea. "We can spring!" he says. "Spring is like jumping, but higher and faster. If we spring, we can go to the park in no time!"
+
+Mia likes the idea. She nods. "Let's spring!" she says.
+
+The next day, they wait until Mom and Dad are busy. Then they sneak out of the house. They start to spring. They spring over the fence, over the road, over the cars, over the trees. They feel happy and free. They see the park in the distance. They spring faster and faster.
+
+But they do not see the big dog. The big dog sees them. He does not like strangers. He barks and runs after them. He is faster than them. He catches up with them. He jumps and bites Tom's leg. Tom screams. Mia screams. The dog growls.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Mia cry. "Someone help us!"
+
+The famous singer hears them. He is in the park, getting ready to sing. He sees the dog and the twins. He runs to help them. He scares the dog away. He picks up Tom and Mia. He hugs them and asks them if they are okay.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Tom and Mia say. "You are our hero! You are the best singer ever!"
+
+The famous singer smiles. He takes them to his stage. He gives them his guitar and his hat. He sings a song for them. He tells everyone they are his friends. Everyone claps and cheers. Tom and Mia feel happy and proud. They forget about the dog and the pain. They spring in their hearts.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. One day, they want to try something new. They decide to trade toys.
+
+"Can I have your car for a while?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"OK, but only if I can have your doll," Ben says.
+
+They give each other their toys and play happily. But soon, they miss their own toys.
+
+"I want my doll back," Lily says.
+
+"Me too, I want my car back," Ben says.
+
+They look for their toys, but they cannot find them. They feel sad and scared. They think they lose their toys.
+
+"Where are our toys?" Lily cries.
+
+"I don't know, maybe someone took them," Ben says.
+
+They look around and see a big boy. He has their toys in his hands. He laughs and runs away.
+
+"Hey, give us our toys back!" Lily and Ben shout.
+
+They chase the big boy, but he is too fast. They feel angry and lonely. They wish they did not trade their toys.
+
+They sit on the ground and hug each other. They are sorry for trading their toys. They hope to find their toys again. They are still friends.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with a bone. The dog was happy and wagged his tail.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Lily said. "Can we pet him?"
+
+"I don't know," Tim said. "Maybe he will bite."
+
+They went closer to the dog. The dog did not mind. He licked their hands and let them touch his fur.
+
+"Wow, he is so soft and nice!" Lily said. "What is his name?"
+
+"I don't know," Tim said. "But look at his bone. It is so big and hard. It looks like a skull!"
+
+Tim reached for the bone. He wanted to see it better. The dog growled and showed his teeth. He did not want to share his bone.
+
+"Hey, give me that!" Tim said. He pulled the bone. The dog pulled back.
+
+"Tim, stop it!" Lily said. "You are teasing the dog. He does not like it. He will get angry."
+
+But Tim did not listen. He thought he was strong and brave. He pulled harder. The dog pulled harder too.
+
+Suddenly, the bone snapped in half. Tim fell back and hit his head on a rock. He cried out in pain. The dog ran away with his half of the bone.
+
+Lily ran to Tim. She saw blood on his head. She was scared.
+
+"Tim, are you okay?" she asked. "You have a boo-boo. We need to get help."
+
+Tim felt weak and dizzy. He was sorry for teasing the dog. He wished he had listened to Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I was silly. I should have left the dog alone. Can you help me?"
+
+Lily nodded. She hugged Tim and helped him stand up. She looked for a grown-up. She saw a lady with a phone.
+
+"Excuse me, miss," she said. "My friend is hurt. He needs a doctor. Can you call one?"
+
+The lady saw Tim's wound. She was kind and worried. She called a doctor and stayed with them until he came.
+
+The doctor cleaned Tim's head and put a bandage on it. He said Tim had a small fracture in his skull. He said he needed to go to the hospital for more tests.
+
+Lily went with Tim in the ambulance. She held his hand and told him stories. She hoped he would be okay. She was a good friend.
+Anna liked to help her mom with the house. She was very organized and knew where everything belonged. She liked to wipe the dust from the shelves, the dirt from the floor, and the water from the sink. She also liked to feed the birds in the birdcage. They were yellow and blue and sang very pretty.
+
+One day, Anna's mom had to go out for a while. She told Anna to be good and not to touch anything. Anna said yes, mom, and waved goodbye. She decided to wipe the birdcage, because it looked a little dirty. She took a wet cloth and started to rub the bars and the tray. She was very careful not to hurt the birds.
+
+But then, she saw something shiny inside the birdcage. It was a key. Anna wondered what it was for. She reached inside the birdcage and grabbed the key. She felt a sharp pain in her finger. One of the birds had bitten her. Anna cried out and dropped the key. It fell on the floor and bounced under the sofa.
+
+Anna ran to the bathroom to wash her finger. She put a band-aid on it and hoped it would stop hurting. She forgot about the key. She did not know that it was the key to the birdcage. She did not know that the birds could open the door with their beaks. She did not know that the birds were very smart and very naughty.
+
+When Anna's mom came back, she saw a big mess in the living room. The birdcage was empty and the door was open. The birds had flown out and made a lot of trouble. They had knocked over the vase, torn the curtains, spilled the juice, and pooped on the sofa. They had also pecked at the books, the pictures, and the toys. They were hiding in the corners, laughing and chirping.
+
+Anna's mom was very angry and very sad. She scolded Anna and asked her what she had done. Anna did not know what to say. She was very sorry and very scared. She wished she had not touched the key. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished the birds would come back. But it was too late. The birds had flown away and the house was ruined. Anna had made a big mistake.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. But they do not like to share. One day, they find a big wire in the yard. It is shiny and long. They both want it.
+
+"I saw it first!" Anna says. She pulls the wire.
+
+"No, I did!" Ben says. He pulls the wire too.
+
+They repeat this over and over. They tug and tug. The wire is strong. It does not break. But it hurts their hands.
+
+"Ow!" Anna says. She lets go of the wire.
+
+"Ow!" Ben says. He lets go of the wire too.
+
+They look at each other. They see tears in their eyes. They feel sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "You can have the wire."
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna says. "You can have the wire."
+
+They hug each other. They do not want to fight. They want to be friends.
+
+They decide to share the wire. They make a big circle with it. They sit inside the circle. They pretend it is a magic ring. They laugh and talk. They feel happy.
+
+The yard is peaceful. The sun is warm. The birds are singing. Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. And they like to share.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they have a big bus toy. The bus has many seats and windows. It can make sounds and move.

+
+"Wow, Tom, you are smart!" Anna says. She claps her hands. She wants to play too. "Can I be a passenger?" she asks.
+
+"Sure, Anna, you can be a passenger!" Tom says. He stops the bus and opens the door. He lets Anna sit in a seat. He closes the door and drives the bus again.
+
+They have fun playing with the bus. They pretend to go to different places. They see animals, trees, and houses. They display the bus to their mom and dad.

+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big puddle of mud and wanted to jump in it. They put on their boots and ran to the puddle.
+
+"Look, Lily, how fun!" Tom said. "We can splash and make bubbles!"
+
+"Yes, Tom, let's jump!" Lily said. They jumped and splashed and laughed.
+
+But then, Lily's boot got stuck in the mud. She tried to pull it out, but it was too hard. She started to cry.
+
+"Help me, Tom, help me!" she said. "My boot is in the mud and I can't get it out!"
+
+Tom tried to help her, but he couldn't. He started to cry too.
+
+"What can we do, Lily, what can we do?" he said. "We can't go home without your boot!"
+
+Lily and Tom felt very sad and scared. They didn't know what to do. Then, they remembered what their mom had told them.
+
+"Mom said, when we are in trouble, we can pray to God," Lily said. "He can help us with anything."
+
+"Yes, Lily, let's pray to God," Tom said. "He loves us and hears us."
+
+They closed their eyes and folded their hands. They prayed to God and asked him to help them get Lily's boot out of the mud.
+
+Then, they heard a voice.
+
+"Hello, children, do you need some help?" the voice said.
+
+They opened their eyes and saw a man with a big smile. He had a shovel and a bucket.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm Mr. Brown, I live in the house over there," the man said. "I saw you playing in the puddle and I thought you might need some help."
+
+He walked to the puddle and used his shovel to dig out Lily's boot. He put it in his bucket and cleaned it with some water.
+
+"Here you go, Lily, here's your boot," he said. "It's good as new."
+
+Lily and Tom were very happy. They thanked Mr. Brown and put on their boots.
+
+"Thank you, God, for sending Mr. Brown to help us," they prayed. "You are very good and kind."
+
+They hugged Mr. Brown and ran back to their home. They told their mom what had happened and how God had answered their prayer.
+
+Their mom was very proud of them. She hugged them and said,
+
+"God always listens to your prayers, children. He loves you and cares for you. And he also sends people to help you when you need it. You are very lucky to have such a good friend in God. And you should also be kind and helpful to others, like Mr. Brown was to you. That's how you show your love to God and to others."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and smiled. They learned a very important lesson that day. They learned that praying to God is easy and powerful, and that being kind and helpful is good and right. They were very happy and grateful.
+Stitch was a little dog who liked to play with his toys. He had a ball, a bone, and a soft bear. He loved his bear the most, because it was cuddly and warm. He always slept with his bear at night.
+
+One day, Stitch was playing with his ball in the yard, when he saw a big truck. The truck was loud and scary. Stitch ran away from the truck, but he forgot his bear. The truck drove over his bear and made a hole in it. Stitch was very sad and troubled. He wanted his bear back.
+
+He ran to his owner, who was inside the house. He barked and wagged his tail. He tried to tell his owner what happened. His owner saw that Stitch was upset and followed him to the yard. He saw the bear on the ground, with a hole in it.
+
+"Oh, Stitch, I'm sorry. Your bear is broken," his owner said. He picked up the bear and hugged Stitch. "Don't worry, I can fix it. I can bring it to the shop and get a new stitch for it. It will be good as new."
+
+Stitch was happy and hopeful. He licked his owner's face and thanked him. He waited patiently for his owner to bring his bear back. He knew his owner loved him and his bear. He was a good dog.
+Lily loved to play soccer with her big brother Ben. He was very good at kicking the ball and scoring goals. He would teach Lily how to run, pass and shoot. Lily wanted to be like him and make goals too.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. There was a big field with two nets. Ben said, "Let's play a game. You and mom are on one team, and me and dad are on the other. The team that makes more goals wins."
+
+Lily was excited and nervous. She put on her red shirt and followed Ben to the field. Mom and dad put on their blue shirts and smiled at them. Ben said, "Are you ready, Lily? Remember what I taught you. You can do it!"
+
+The game started. Ben and dad kicked the ball to each other and tried to get close to the net. Mom and Lily ran after them and tried to stop them. Lily saw Ben kick the ball hard and fast.

+
+Lily wanted to make a goal too. She waited for mom to pass her the ball. She saw it coming and ran to it. She kicked it with all her might. It went in the air and flew towards the net. But dad was there and caught it with his hands. "Nice try, Lily!" dad said. He threw the ball to Ben.
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted to score a goal, but she couldn't. She thought she was not good enough. She looked at Ben and saw him smile. He said, "Don't give up, Lily. You can do it. I believe in you. You are brilliant too!"
+
+Lily felt better. She nodded and smiled back. She ran to the ball again and tried harder. She passed it to mom and ran to the net. Mom kicked it back to her. Lily saw the ball and kicked it again.

+
+Ben hugged her and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good learner. I love you too."

+Lily and Ben wanted to play in the snow. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots. They ran outside and saw a lot of white snow on the ground. They were very happy.
+
+"Let's make a snowman!" Lily said.
+
+"OK!" Ben said.

+Lily finished counting and opened her eyes. She started to search for Ben. She looked behind the bushes, under the slide, in the sandbox, but she could not find him. She wondered where he was.
+
+"Ben, where are you?" she called.
+
+She heard a muffled voice from behind the tree.
+
+"Here I am!" Ben said.
+
+She ran to the tree and saw a lump of snow. She poked it with her finger and it moved. She saw Ben's face smiling at her. He had snow on his hair, his nose, his cheeks.
+
+"Boo!" he said.
+
+Lily laughed. She thought Ben was very clever and funny. She gave him a gentle hug and helped him out of the snow.
+
+"You are a good hider!" she said.
+
+"Thank you! You are a good seeker!" he said.
+
+They smiled at each other and ran back to Bob. They played with him until it was time to go inside. They said goodbye to Bob and promised to come back tomorrow. They had a lot of fun in the snow.
+Anna and Ben are playing in their room. They have a big orange sheet that they use to make a tent. They put the sheet over their bed and pretend they are camping in the forest.
+
+"Look, Anna, I see a bird!" Ben says, pointing to a picture on the wall.
+
+"Wow, it is so pretty!" Anna says. "What is its name?"
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a robin. Do you want to feed it some bread?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, let's do that!" Anna says. They get out of their tent and look for some bread in the kitchen.
+
+But when they come back, they see that their tent is gone. The orange sheet is on the floor, and their mom is folding it.
+
+"Mom, what are you doing?" Ben cries. "That was our tent!"
+
+"I'm sorry, kids, but I need to wash this sheet. It is dirty and has holes in it. You can play with another sheet later," their mom says.
+
+"But we liked this sheet! It was our favorite!" Anna says.
+
+"I know, honey, but it is old and worn out. You can choose a new sheet from the closet. There are many colors and patterns. Maybe you can find one that you like even more," their mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They liked their orange sheet and their tent. They don't want to leave it. But they also know that their mom is right. They go to the closet and look for a new sheet. They find a blue one with stars on it. It is soft and shiny.
+
+"Maybe this one is good," Ben says.
+
+"It is very nice," Anna says. "Let's try it."
+
+They take the blue sheet and go back to their room. They make a new tent over their bed. They pretend they are camping in the sky.
+
+"Look, Anna, I see a star!" Ben says, pointing to a hole in the sheet.
+
+"Wow, it is so bright!" Anna says. "What is its name?"
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a wish. Do you want to make a wish?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, let's do that!" Anna says. They close their eyes and make a wish. They wish that they can always have fun and be happy. They smile and hug each other. They like their new sheet and their tent. They don't miss their orange sheet anymore.
+Lily was a humble girl. She did not like to show off or be mean. She liked to help others and share her toys. She had many friends who liked her too.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy sitting on a bench by himself. He looked sad and lonely. Lily wanted to be his friend.
+
+She walked up to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. What is your name?" The boy looked up and said, "I am Sam. I am new here. I have no friends."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You can be my friend. Do you want to play with me?" Sam nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you."
+
+Lily and Sam played on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They had fun and laughed a lot. They shared their snacks and stories. They became good friends.
+
+Lily's mom came to pick her up. She said, "Lily, it is time to go home. Did you have fun?" Lily said, "Yes, mom. I made a new friend. His name is Sam. He is humble and kind. Can we play with him again?"
+
+Lily's mom said, "Of course, dear. I am proud of you for being humble and friendly. You are a good girl." Lily hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. And I love my new friend, Sam."
+Tim liked to play baseball with his friends. He had a big red baseball and a wooden bat. He could hit the ball very far and run very fast. He was good at baseball.
+
+One day, he went to the park with his baseball and his bat. He hoped to find his friends there. But when he got there, he saw no one. The park was empty and quiet. He felt lonely and sad.
+
+He walked around the park, looking for someone to play with. He saw a big dog with a long tail. The dog was brown and white and had a friendly face. Tim thought the dog might want to play with him.
+
+"Hi, dog," he said. "Do you want to play baseball with me?"
+
+The dog wagged his tail and barked. He ran up to Tim and sniffed his baseball. He liked the ball. He opened his mouth and grabbed the ball. He ran away with the ball in his mouth.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Tim shouted. "That's my ball! Give it back!"
+
+Tim chased the dog, but the dog was faster. He ran across the park, dodging trees and benches. He looked happy and proud. He did not want to give the ball back.
+
+Tim was angry and tired. He wanted his ball back. He loved his ball. He wished his friends were there to help him. He felt lonely and sad.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were grown-ups and do different jobs. Ben was a doctor and Lily was a teacher. They had a lot of toys and books to use.
+
+"Hello, doctor, I have a sore throat. Can you help me?" Lily said, holding a scarf around her neck.
+
+"Of course, teacher, let me see. Ah, you need some medicine. Here, take this spoon of honey. It will make you feel better." Ben said, giving her a plastic spoon with a drop of honey.
+
+"Thank you, doctor, you are very kind. Now, I have to go and teach my students. They are waiting for me." Lily said, getting up and walking to the couch, where she had some stuffed animals and dolls.
+
+"OK, teacher, have a good day. I have to go and check on my other patients." Ben said, putting on a stethoscope and a hat.
+
+They were having a lot of fun, until they heard a knock on the door. It was the mailman, who had a big envelope for them. He smiled and handed it to them.
+
+"Hello, kids, this is for you. It's from your grandma. She sent you a surprise. Do you want to open it?" the mailman said.
+
+"Yes, please, thank you, mailman!" Ben and Lily said, excited. They ripped the envelope and found a big card inside. It had a picture of their grandma and a lot of stickers and glitter. They also found a letter, where their grandma wrote how much she loved them and missed them.
+
+"Wow, this is so nice! Look, she sent us stickers and glitter. We can use them to make our own cards." Lily said, happy.
+
+"Yes, and look, she also wrote a silly joke. Listen: What do you call a fish that wears a bowtie? Sofishticated!" Ben said, laughing.
+
+"That's so funny! Grandma is so silly. We love her. Let's display her card on the wall, so we can see it every day." Lily said, finding some tape.
+
+"Good idea. And let's write her a thank you letter, too. We can tell her about our games and our jokes." Ben said, finding some paper and crayons.
+
+They hugged the mailman and thanked him again. Then they went back to the living room, where they displayed the card and wrote the letter. They were very happy and grateful for their grandma's mail.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the pool. The pool is big and blue. It has toys and floats. Lily and Sam splash and swim and laugh.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to the pool. His name is Ben. He has a big hat and sunglasses. He does not say hello. He sits on a chair and reads a book. Lily and Sam think he is not fun.
+
+"Let's ask him to play with us," Lily says. She swims to Ben and smiles. "Hi, I'm Lily. This is Sam. Do you want to play in the pool?"
+
+Ben looks at Lily and shakes his head. "No, thank you. I'm busy. I'm reading a very smart book. It's about dinosaurs and planets and numbers. You wouldn't understand."
+
+Lily feels sad. She thinks Ben is rude. She swims back to Sam and tells him what Ben said. Sam feels angry. He thinks Ben is mean.
+
+"That's not nice. He should not say that. We can read too. And we know about dinosaurs and planets and numbers. We learned them at school. He is not smart. He is silly," Sam says.
+
+Lily nods. She agrees with Sam. She has an idea. She whispers to Sam. Sam nods too. He likes the idea.
+
+They swim to Ben again. They pretend to be friendly. They ask him questions about his book. Ben thinks they are impressed. He tells them everything he knows. He talks and talks and talks.
+
+But Lily and Sam are not listening. They are waiting for the right moment. When Ben is not looking, they grab his hat and sunglasses. They throw them in the pool. They splash water on his book. They laugh and swim away.
+
+Ben is shocked. He is wet and angry. He tries to get his hat and sunglasses and book. But they are gone. They sank to the bottom of the pool. He can't see them. He can't read them. He can't be smart.
+
+Lily and Sam are happy. They taught Ben a lesson. They don't need his book. They have each other. They are friends. They are smart. They nod and smile. They play in the pool.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a big bottle on the table. It is red and shiny. They want to know what it is.
+
+"Look, Ben, what is that?" Anna asks, pointing at the bottle.
+
+"I don't know, Anna. Maybe it is juice?" Ben says.
+
+They climb on the chairs and reach for the bottle. They open it and smell it. It does not smell like juice. It smells funny.
+
+"Yuck, this is not juice. This is wine," Anna says.
+
+"Wine? What is wine?" Ben asks.
+
+"Wine is a drink for grown-ups. Mommy and Daddy drink wine sometimes. They say it makes them happy. But we are not allowed to drink wine. It is bad for us," Anna says.
+
+"Oh, I see. Then we should not drink wine. We should put it back," Ben says.
+
+They try to put the bottle back on the table, but it is too heavy. They drop it on the floor. It breaks and spills everywhere. The wine makes a big mess.
+
+"Oh no, we are in trouble!" Anna says.
+
+"Quick, let's hide!" Ben says.
+
+They run to their room and hide under the bed. They hear Mommy and Daddy come home. They hear them gasp and shout.
+
+"Who did this? Who broke the wine bottle?" Mommy asks.
+
+"Look, there are footprints on the carpet. They lead to the twins' room," Daddy says.
+
+They follow the footprints and find Anna and Ben under the bed. They look scared and sorry.
+
+"Anna, Ben, did you do this?" Mommy asks.
+
+"Yes, Mommy, we did. We are sorry. We were curious. We thought it was juice. We did not drink it. We tried to put it back, but it fell," Anna says.
+
+"We are very sorry, Mommy, Daddy. We did not mean to make a mess. We did not know it was wine," Ben says.
+
+Mommy and Daddy sigh. They are angry, but they are also glad that the twins did not drink the wine. They hug them and tell them they love them.
+
+"Anna, Ben, we are not happy with what you did. You should not touch things that are not yours. You should not climb on the chairs. You should not open bottles that are not for you. You could have hurt yourselves or made yourselves sick. Do you understand?" Mommy says.
+
+"Yes, Mommy, we understand. We are sorry. We will not do it again," Anna and Ben say.
+
+"Good. Now, let's go and clean up the mess. And then we will have some juice and cookies. You are lucky that we are not too mad at you. You are lucky that we have another bottle of wine for later," Daddy says.
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They are happy that Mommy and Daddy are not too mad at them. They are happy that they have juice and cookies. They are happy that they have each other. They are lucky twins.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But today, they are bored. They have played with all their toys many times. They want to do something new.
+
+They see a big box in the corner. It is full of old clothes. They have an idea. They can play dress up. They open the box and take out some clothes. They find hats, scarves, gloves, and shoes. They try them on and laugh.
+
+They also find some cones. They are orange and white. They are for traffic. They wonder what they can do with them. They have another idea. They can play match. They put the cones in a row. They take turns to find two cones that are the same. They say "match" when they find them. They have fun.
+
+They play dress up and match for a long time. They forget they are bored. They are happy. They have made their own game. They are clever twins.
+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big car in the garage. It is their dad's car. They want to drive it.
+
+"Let's go for a ride," Sam says. He is older than Ben. He knows how to start the car.
+
+"OK," Ben says. He is excited. He gets in the car with Sam.
+
+Sam turns the key and the car makes a loud noise. He pushes the pedal and the car moves. He does not know how to steer. The car goes out of the garage and onto the street.
+
+"Look, a police car!" Ben says. He sees a blue car with a red light on top. It is behind them. It makes a siren sound.
+
+"Uh-oh," Sam says. He is scared. He does not know what to do. He stops the car in the middle of the street.
+
+The police car stops too. A man gets out of the police car. He is wearing a uniform and a hat. He walks to Sam and Ben's car. He looks angry.
+
+"Who are you?" he asks. "What are you doing here?"
+
+"We are Sam and Ben," Sam says. "We are playing with our dad's car."
+
+"Playing with your dad's car?" the man says. "Do you have a license?"
+
+"A license?" Sam says. He does not know what that is.
+
+"A license is a card that says you can drive a car," the man says. "Show me your license."
+
+Sam and Ben do not have a license. They have nothing to show. They look at each other. They are in trouble.
+
+The man shakes his head. He says, "This is incredible. You are too young to drive a car. You are breaking the law. You are endangering yourself and others. You are coming with me."
+
+He opens the door and takes Sam and Ben out of the car. He puts them in the back of the police car. He calls their dad on the radio. He tells him what happened.
+
+Sam and Ben are very sorry. They cry and say they are sorry. They wish they never played with their dad's car. They are going to be punished. They have a bad ending.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red ball in the park. They ran to get it, but another boy was there first. He picked up the ball and said, "This is mine. Go away."
+
+Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They wanted to play with the ball too. They said, "That is not fair. You have to share."
+
+The boy did not listen. He threw the ball high in the air and caught it. He said, "No, I don't. This is my ball and I can do what I want."
+
+Lily and Tom gazed at the ball. It looked so fun and shiny. They wished they had a ball like that. They decided to wait and see if the boy would change his mind.
+
+But the boy did not change his mind. He kept playing with the ball by himself. He did not care about Lily and Tom. He did not care about anyone.
+
+Soon, the sun became very hot. It made the ball hot too. The boy did not notice. He threw the ball hard and fast. He did not see that the ball was going to hit a tree.
+
+The ball hit the tree and bounced back. It hit the boy on the head. It hurt a lot. The boy dropped the ball and cried.
+
+Lily and Tom heard the boy cry. They felt sorry for him. They ran to help him. They said, "Are you okay? Do you need a hug?"
+
+The boy looked at Lily and Tom. He saw that they were kind and friendly. He felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry. I was mean and selfish. I should have shared the ball with you. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "Yes, we can. We are not mad at you. We can be friends."
+
+The boy smiled. He said, "Thank you. You are very nice. Do you want to play with the ball with me?"
+
+Lily and Tom smiled too. They said, "Yes, we do. That would be fun."
+
+They picked up the ball and played together. They had a lot of fun. They learned that sharing is caring and that being kind and friendly is better than being mean and selfish.
+Ben and Mia are playing with their cars on the floor. They make noises and pretend to race each other. Ben has a red car and Mia has a blue car. They are having fun.
+
+"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Ben says.
+
+"No, mine is faster!" Mia says.
+
+They zoom their cars around the room, trying to catch each other.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a voice from the kitchen.
+
+"Kids, it's time for a snack!" Mom says.
+
+Ben and Mia pause their game. They look at each other and smile.
+
+"Snack time!" they say.
+
+They leave their cars on the floor and run to the kitchen. Mom has prepared some cookies and milk for them. She puts them on the table and gives them each a napkin.
+
+"Here you go, my sweeties. You can have two cookies each. That's your reward for playing nicely together," Mom says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom!" Ben and Mia say.
+
+They sit down and eat their cookies. They sip their milk and make happy sounds. The cookies are delicious and the milk is cold. They feel full and happy.
+
+"Mom, you are amazing!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Mom, you are amazing!" Mia says.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them.
+
+"I love you, my amazing kids!" Mom says.
+
+They hug her back and say they love her too.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+"Can we go up?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Tom said. He was brave and strong. He helped Lily to reach the first branch. They climbed higher and higher. They felt happy and free.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a growl. It came from the top of the tree. They looked up and saw a big, furry animal. It had sharp teeth and claws. It was a bear!
+
+The bear was angry. It wanted to scare them away. It roared and shook the tree. Lily and Tom were very scared. They held each other and cried.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted.
+
+They heard another noise. It was a voice. It came from the ground. It was their mom.
+
+"Lily! Tom! What are you doing up there?" she asked. She was worried and angry. She saw the bear and gasped. She had a stick in her hand. She waved it at the bear and yelled.
+
+"Go away! Leave my children alone!"
+
+The bear was scared of the mom. It ran away and hid. Lily and Tom saw their mom. She was beautiful and brave. They climbed down the tree and hugged her.
+
+"Mom, you saved us!" they said.
+
+"I'm so glad you're safe!" she said. "But don't ever climb a tree with a bear again! That was very dangerous!"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They were sorry and thankful. They learned their lesson. They never climbed a tree with a bear again.
+Jill and Tom were playing with their new toys. Jill had a doll and Tom had a car. They liked their toys very much and did not want to share.
+
+"Can I play with your car, Tom?" Jill asked.
+
+"No, it is my car. You can play with your doll," Tom said.
+
+"But I want to try your car. It looks fun," Jill said.
+
+"No, no, no. Go away, Jill. This is my car," Tom said.
+
+Jill was sad and angry. She saw a match on the table. She had an idea. She took the match and lit it. She wanted to burn Tom's car.
+
+"Look, Tom, look. Your car is on fire," Jill said.
+
+Tom was scared and mad. He saw his car burning. He loved his car. He wanted to save his car.
+
+"Stop, Jill, stop. You are bad. You are hurting my car," Tom said.
+
+He ran to the sink and got some water. He poured the water on his car. He saved his car. But his car was wet and black. It was not new anymore.
+
+Tom cried and Jill cried. They were both sorry. They did not want to hurt each other. They wanted to be friends.
+
+"I am sorry, Tom. I was mean. I should not have burned your car," Jill said.
+
+"I am sorry, Jill. I was selfish. I should have shared my car with you," Tom said.
+
+They hugged and said sorry. They decided to play together. They shared their toys. They were happy.
+Lily was sad. She had a big test at school today, but she did not do well. She felt like she did not know anything. She wanted to cry.
+
+When she came home, her mom saw her face. She gave her a hug and said, "What's wrong, Lily? Tell me what happened."
+
+Lily told her mom about the test. She said, "I tried hard, but I could not answer the questions. The teacher said I need to study more. I am not smart, mom. I am not successful."
+
+Her mom comforted her and said, "Lily, you are smart and successful. You know many things. You can read and write and count and draw and sing and play. One test does not define you. You can always learn from your mistakes and do better next time. I am proud of you for trying hard."
+
+Lily felt a little better. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can we read a book together?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, we can. I have some good news for you. I found a new book at the library. It is about a brave princess who goes on an adventure. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun."
+
+Her mom and Lily cuddled on the couch and read the book. Lily forgot about the test and enjoyed the story. She felt happy and loved.
+Tom and Anna are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They are having fun.
+
+But then Tom falls down and hurts his lip. He cries and his lip bleeds. Anna runs to him and hugs him.
+
+"Are you OK, Tom?" Anna asks.
+
+"It hurts, Anna. It hurts a lot." Tom says.
+
+Anna looks at his lip and says, "We need to clean your lip, Tom. Come with me. I have a napkin in my bag."
+
+Anna takes out a napkin and wipes Tom's lip gently. She says, "Remember, Tom, you are brave. You are strong. The napkin will help your lip feel better."
+
+Tom stops crying and smiles at Anna. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. You are kind."
+
+Anna smiles back and says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You are fun."
+
+They hug and go back to play. They are happy.
+Lily wanted to make a cake for her mom. She had a big bowl, some eggs, some flour and some milk. She also needed some sugar, but the sugar was on a high shelf. Lily tried to reach the sugar, but she was too small. She looked around and saw a chair. She had an idea.
+
+She dragged the chair to the shelf and climbed on it. She stretched her arm and touched the sugar. She smiled and pulled the sugar towards her. But the sugar was heavy and the chair was wobbly. Lily lost her balance and fell off the chair. The sugar fell too and made a loud noise.
+
+Mom heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the floor, the sugar on the table and the chair on its side. She was very troubled. She picked up Lily and hugged her.
+
+"Lily, are you okay? What were you doing?" Mom asked.
+
+"I wanted to make a cake for you, Mom. But I couldn't reach the sugar." Lily said.
+
+"Oh, Lily, that was very sweet of you, but also very dangerous. You could have hurt yourself. You should never climb on chairs or shelves. If you need something, you should ask me or Dad for help." Mom said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean to make a mess." Lily said.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I'm not angry. I'm just glad you're not hurt. Come on, let's clean up the kitchen together. And then we can make a cake for both of us." Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She loved her mom and she loved cake. She learned a lesson and she was happy.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with marbles. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They liked to roll them on the floor and see who could make them go the farthest.
+
+One day, they found a new marble in the park. It was big and shiny and had many colors inside. It looked like a rainbow. Tom and Lily wanted to have it, but they did not know who it belonged to.
+
+"Maybe someone lost it," Tom said. "Let's take it home and play with it."
+
+"No, that's not nice," Lily said. "We should ask if anyone is looking for it."
+
+They looked around, but they did not see anyone. They decided to keep the marble for a while and then bring it back to the park.
+
+They took the marble to Tom's house and put it on the table. They admired it and took turns holding it. It felt smooth and heavy in their hands.
+
+"Can I have it for a day?" Tom asked. "I want to show it to my mom and dad."
+
+"Okay, but you have to give it back to me tomorrow," Lily said. "And then we have to bring it back to the park."
+
+Tom nodded and put the marble in his pocket. He said goodbye to Lily and ran home.
+
+Tom was so happy to have the marble. He showed it to his mom and dad and they said it was very pretty. He put it on his bed and looked at it before he went to sleep.
+
+The next day, Tom did not go to school. He was sick. He had a fever and a cough. He stayed in bed and did not feel like playing. He forgot about the marble and Lily.
+
+Lily waited for Tom at school, but he did not come. She was worried and sad. She wanted to see the marble and Tom. She asked the teacher where Tom was and the teacher said he was sick.
+
+Lily decided to go to Tom's house after school and see how he was. She walked to his house and knocked on the door. Tom's mom opened the door and smiled.
+
+"Hello, Lily," she said. "Are you here to see Tom?"
+
+"Yes, please," Lily said. "Is he okay?"
+
+"He's not feeling well, but he'll be better soon," Tom's mom said. "You can go to his room and say hello. He'll be happy to see you."
+
+Lily thanked Tom's mom and went to Tom's room. She saw Tom lying on the bed, looking pale and tired. She felt sorry for him and gave him a hug.
+
+"Hi, Tom," she said. "How are you?"
+
+"Hi, Lily," Tom said weakly. "I'm sorry I didn't come to school. I'm sick."
+
+"That's okay, Tom," Lily said. "I hope you get well soon. I missed you."
+
+"I missed you too, Lily," Tom said. "Did you bring the marble?"
+
+Lily looked around and saw the marble on the bed. She reached for it and picked it up. She was happy to see it again.
+
+"Yes, I did," she said. "Here it is. It's so beautiful, isn't it?"
+
+Tom nodded and smiled. He took the marble from Lily and held it in his hand. He looked at it and said, "Do you want to play with it?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, let's play with it. But we have to be careful. We don't want to lose it or break it."
+
+Tom agreed and said, "Let's roll it on the floor and see who can make it go the farthest."
+
+They got out of bed and went to the floor. They cleared some space and took turns rolling the marble. They had fun and laughed.
+
+Tom rolled the marble first and made it go far. Lily rolled the marble next and made it go farther. Tom rolled the marble again and made it go the farthest. He was happy and said, "I win!"
+
+Lily clapped and said, "Good job, Tom! You're good at rolling marbles."
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You're good too. Do you want to try again?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, let's try again. Maybe I can beat you this time."
+
+Tom gave the marble to Lily and said, "Okay, you go first. Good luck."
+
+Lily took the marble and said, "Thank you, Tom. Here I go."
+
+She rolled the marble with all her strength. She wanted to make it go the farthest. She watched the marble roll on the floor and hoped it would not stop.

+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. But then, a big dog came and saw the ball.

+
+"Stop!" Lily shouted at the dog. "That is our ball! You broke it!"
+
+The dog did not listen. He barked and jumped at Lily and Max. They ran away from the dog, looking for a safe place. They saw a shelter near the swings. It was a small house made of wood and plastic. It had a door and a window. Lily and Max ran inside the shelter and closed the door. They hoped the dog would not find them.
+
+They waited for a long time. They heard the dog sniffing and scratching outside. They hugged each other and wished their mom and dad would come soon. They felt cold and hungry and sorry for their ball.
+
+Then, they heard a knock on the window. They looked and saw a boy. He had a leash in his hand. He smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. I'm sorry about my dog. He is not mean, he just likes to play. He ran away from me and I couldn't catch him. But I found him now and I want to say sorry to you. Can I come in?"
+
+Lily and Max were not sure. They were still afraid of the dog. But they saw that the boy was thoughtful. He had brought a new ball and some cookies for them. He looked sorry and kind. They decided to give him a chance. They opened the door and let him in.
+
+Ben gave them the ball and the cookies. He said, "I'm sorry for the trouble. I hope you like the ball and the cookies. They are my favorite. Do you want to play with me and my dog? He is very friendly when he knows you. His name is Spot."
+
+Lily and Max looked at the dog. He was wagging his tail and licking his lips. He did not look scary anymore. He looked like he wanted to be friends. Lily and Max smiled and nodded. They took the ball and the cookies and went out of the shelter. They played with Ben and Spot and had a lot of fun. They learned that sometimes, things can go wrong, but they can also be fixed. They learned that sometimes, people and animals can make mistakes, but they can also say sorry and be nice. They learned that sometimes, it is good to be brave and forgive. They made new friends and had a happy day.

+Lily was sad, but she understood that the car was important to the owner. She went home and told her mom about the car. Her mom said, "Lily, it's important to respect other people's things.

+
+Timmy wanted to help too, so Lily gave him some ornaments to hang. They both had so much fun decorating the tree together. When they were done, they sat down to admire their work.

+
+Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she is not angry. She loves Lila and Tom.
+
+"I'm glad you told me the truth, Tom. But you know you shouldn't touch my things without asking. They are not toys. They are for grown-ups. You could have hurt yourself or made a bigger mess." Mom says, as she explains.
+
+"We know, Mom. We won't do it again. We promise." Lila says, as she hugs Mom.
+
+Mom hugs Lila and Tom back. She forgives them.
+
+"OK, I forgive you. But you have to help me clean up this mess. And then you can go back to playing with your cars. But only on the grass, OK?" Mom says, as she gives them a task.
+
+"OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom." Lila and Tom say, as they help Mom clean up.
+
+They learn their lesson. They don't touch Mom's perfume again. They zoom their cars on the grass and have fun. They are happy.

+
+Mom smiled and took the pepper from Mia. She said yes, they could have it for dinner. She said it was a special pepper, because it had helped them find the bee. She said they could call it the spring pepper, because it had sprung out of Ben's hand.

+
+Tom nodded. He thought it was a good idea. They walked to the front of the line and waited for their turn. But the other kids saw them and got angry.

+He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to break your vase. I was just joking. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Anna did not talk to him. She was too sad. She picked up the flowers and hugged them. She whispered, "I'm sorry, too. I hope you are not hurt. I still love you." She felt them nod in her arms. They still talked to her in their own way. They forgave her and Tom. But they wished he was not so nosy.
+Tom and Mia are playing in their room. They have many toys and books and games. They like to make up stories and pretend to be different things. Today, they are pretending to be astronauts and exploring the moon.
+
+"Look, Mia, I found a big rock!" Tom says, holding a pillow. "Maybe it has aliens inside!"
+
+"Wow, Tom, that is incredible!" Mia says, grabbing another pillow. "Let's take it to our spaceship and study it!"
+
+They run to their bed, which is their spaceship. They put the pillows on the bed and jump on it. They pretend to fly to the stars and talk to the aliens.
+
+"Hello, aliens, we come in peace!" Tom says, making funny noises.
+
+"Hello, astronauts, we are friendly!" Mia says, making funny noises back.
+
+They laugh and have fun. But then, the bed starts to shake. The pillows slide off the bed. Tom and Mia lose their balance and fall off the bed too.
+
+"Ouch!" Tom says, rubbing his head.
+
+"Ouch!" Mia says, rubbing her elbow.
+
+They look at each other and start to giggle. They are not hurt, just surprised. They get up and hug each other.
+
+"That was a big fall!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, it was!" Mia says. "But it was also incredible!"
+
+They smile and go back to their bed. They pick up their pillows and continue their adventure. They are happy and brave astronauts. They love to play in their room.
+Tom and Lily like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the floor, making vroom-vroom noises.
+
+One day, they find a new car in their toy box. It is shiny and red, and it has a big zero on the side. Tom and Lily are curious. They pick up the car and press a button. The car starts to spin very fast, making a loud beep-beep sound.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom says. "It is a spinning car!"
+
+"Can I try it?" Lily asks. "It looks fun!"
+
+Tom gives the car to Lily. She presses the button and the car spins again. Lily laughs and claps her hands. She tries to follow the car with her eyes, but it is too fast. She feels dizzy.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Lily says. "I feel sick!"
+
+Tom presses the button again and the car stops. He takes the car from Lily and puts it back in the toy box.
+
+"Maybe we should not play with that car," Tom says. "It is too crazy."
+
+Lily nods. She rubs her eyes and sits down. She still feels dizzy.
+
+"Let's play with the other cars," Lily says. "They are more fun."
+
+Tom and Lily pick up their favorite cars and drive them on the floor. They make vroom-vroom noises and smile. They forget about the spinning car with the zero. They are happy.
+Sam and Ben were eager to play with their new toy trucks. They had big wheels, loud horns and shiny shovels. They ran outside to the sandbox, where they could load and unload sand and rocks.
+
+They took turns filling their trucks with sand, then driving them to the other side of the sandbox. They made piles and holes and tunnels. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then they saw a big dog coming towards them. The dog was black and furry, and had sharp teeth and a loud bark. It looked like a threat. Sam and Ben were scared. They did not want the dog to bite them or their trucks.
+
+They quickly grabbed their trucks and ran back to the house. They slammed the door behind them and looked out the window. The dog was still outside, sniffing and pawing at the sandbox. It did not seem to want to leave.
+
+Sam and Ben hugged their trucks and hoped the dog would go away soon. They wanted to play with their trucks again, but they did not want to face the dog. They wished they had a fence or a gate to keep the dog out. They wondered if their mom or dad would come home soon and chase the dog away. They waited and watched.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide, swing and climb. They were having fun, but they were also getting tired and thirsty.
+
+"Let's quit and go home," Ben said. "I want some juice and a snack."
+
+"But I want to play more," Lily said. "Look, the sunshine is so bright and warm. It makes me happy."
+
+Ben looked at the sky. He saw some clouds that were gray and distant. They looked like they could bring rain.
+
+"Those clouds are not happy," he said. "They might make the sunshine go away. Then we will be wet and cold."
+
+Lily looked at the clouds too. She did not like them. She did not want to be wet and cold.
+
+"Okay, let's quit and go home," she said. "But can we come back tomorrow?"
+
+Ben nodded. He took Lily's hand and they walked to their mom, who was waiting for them.
+
+"Did you have fun, kids?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, we did," Ben and Lily said. "But we are tired and thirsty now."
+
+Mom smiled. She gave them some juice and a snack. She hugged them and said, "You are my sunshine, even when the clouds are distant."
+Tom and Mia are having lunch with Mom and Dad. They have soup and bread on their plates. Tom likes soup, but Mia does not. She makes a face and pushes her plate away.
+
+"No soup, Mom. Soup is yucky," Mia says.
+
+Mom shakes her head and smiles. "Soup is good, Mia. It has carrots and chicken and noodles. You like those, right?"
+
+Mia shakes her head too. "No, Mom. I only like cheese and crackers and grapes. Can I have those instead?"
+
+Tom stares at Mia and thinks she is silly. He likes cheese and crackers and grapes too, but he also likes soup. He thinks soup is warm and tasty and fills his tummy. He slurps his soup and says, "Mia, you should try the soup. It is yummy. Look, I can make a letter with my noodle. This is T for Tom."
+
+Mia stares at Tom and thinks he is silly too. She does not care about letters or noodles. She thinks soup is cold and slimy and makes her tummy hurt. She pouts and says, "Tom, you are silly. Soup is not yummy. It is gross. Look, I can make a face with my bread. This is a sad face, because I don't like soup."
+
+Mom and Dad look at each other and laugh. They think Tom and Mia are both silly and cute. They say, "Tom and Mia, you are both very creative. But you also need to eat your lunch. How about this? You can have some cheese and crackers and grapes after you finish your soup and bread. Deal?"
+
+Tom and Mia think for a moment. They both want cheese and crackers and grapes, but they also want to make Mom and Dad happy. They nod and say, "Deal." They pick up their spoons and forks and start to eat their lunch. They still think soup is yucky and yummy, but they also think cheese and crackers and grapes are better. They are happy and full. They are good kids.
+Tom and Lily wanted to go to the zoo. They liked to see the animals and learn their names. But today, their mom said they had to delay their trip. She said there was a big storm and the zoo was closed.
+
+"Why, mom?" Tom asked. "Why can't we go to the zoo?"
+
+"Because the storm is very loud and scary. It can hurt the animals and the people. The zoo keepers need to keep the animals safe and warm. They have to move some of them to other places. Some animals are very fragile and can get sick or scared easily." Mom explained.
+
+"Like the butterflies?" Lily asked. She remembered the butterfly house at the zoo. It was her favorite place. She liked to watch the colorful wings and feel them tickle her nose.
+
+"Yes, like the butterflies. And the birds, and the fish, and the baby animals. They all need extra care when the weather is bad." Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad. They wanted to see the animals and have fun. But they also understood that the animals needed to be safe and happy too. They hugged their mom and said they would wait for another day.
+
+"Can we read some books about the animals instead?" Tom asked.
+
+"Of course. And maybe we can draw some pictures of them too." Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They liked to read and draw. They knew they would go to the zoo soon. But for now, they would enjoy their books and their crayons. They hoped the animals would be okay. They said a little prayer for them and thanked them for being so wonderful.
+Anna likes pink. She has a pink dress, a pink hat, and a pink ball. She likes to play with her pink ball in the park. She throws it high and catches it low. She laughs and runs with her pink ball.
+
+One day, she sees a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and big ears. It looks at Anna and her pink ball. It wants to play too. It runs to Anna and barks. "Woof, woof!"
+
+Anna is scared. She does not like the big dog. She does not want to share her pink ball. She holds it tight and runs away. She looks for a place to hide. She sees a big tree with a hole. She runs to the tree and goes inside the hole. She hopes the dog will not find her.
+
+But the dog is fast. It follows Anna to the tree. It smells her and her pink ball. It puts its nose in the hole. It tries to get the pink ball. It barks louder. "Woof, woof, woof!"
+
+Anna cries. She does not know what to do. She wants the dog to go away. She wants her mom to come. She calls for her mom. "Mom, mom, help!"
+
+Her mom hears her. She sees the dog and the tree. She runs to Anna and the dog. She talks to the dog. She says, "No, no, bad dog. Leave Anna alone. She does not want to play with you. Go away, go away."
+
+The dog hears her. It sees her angry face. It is scared. It drops the pink ball and runs away. It does not want to play anymore.
+
+Anna is happy. She sees her mom and her pink ball. She hugs her mom and says, "Thank you, mom. You saved me. You are the best mom ever."
+
+Her mom hugs her back and says, "You are welcome, Anna. I love you. You are the best Anna ever."
+
+They smile and kiss. They take the pink ball and go to another place. A place where there are no big dogs. A place where they can play and have fun. A place where they are safe and happy.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the forest. They like to pretend they are hunters and look for animals. They have sticks for bows and leaves for arrows. They are very quiet and careful.
+
+They see a big deer with horns. It is eating grass. Lily and Ben get ready to shoot their arrows. They count to three and let go. But their arrows do not fly very far. They fall on the ground. The deer looks up and sees them. It is not scared. It runs away.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They did not catch the deer. They sit on a log and sigh. Then they hear a noise. It is a bird. It is sitting on a branch. It is laughing at them. It sounds like this: "Ha ha ha! Silly hunters! You can't catch me! Ha ha ha!"
+
+Lily and Ben are angry. They do not like the bird. They pick up their sticks and leaves. They try to shoot the bird. But their arrows do not reach the branch. They miss the bird. The bird laughs louder. It sounds like this: "Ha ha ha! Silly hunters! You can't catch me! Ha ha ha!"
+
+Lily and Ben are frustrated. They throw their sticks and leaves on the ground. They give up. They look at each other. They start to giggle. They think the bird is funny. They laugh with the bird. It sounds like this: "Ha ha ha! Silly hunters! You can't catch me! Ha ha ha!"
+
+They forget about the deer. They have fun with the bird. They laugh and laugh until their bellies hurt. Then they hear a voice. It is their mom. She is calling them. It is time to go home. They say goodbye to the bird. They run to their mom. She is happy to see them. She hugs them and kisses them. She says: "Did you have a good time in the forest, my tidy hunters?" They nod and smile. They tell her about the deer and the bird. She laughs with them. She says: "You are very brave and clever, my tidy hunters. But next time, don't forget your lunch!" They giggle and agree. They love their mom. They love the forest. They love to laugh.
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big puddle of mud. They want to jump in it.
+
+Sam says, "I will lead you to the mud. Follow me!" He runs to the puddle. Mia runs after him. They are happy.
+
+They jump in the mud. They splash and laugh. The mud is wet and sticky. It makes their shoes and clothes dirty. They don't care. They have fun.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is angry. She says, "What are you doing? You are all muddy! Come here now!"
+
+Sam and Mia stop jumping. They look at Mom. They are scared. They walk to Mom. They are sorry.
+
+Mom says, "You need a bath. And you need to wash your clothes. And you need to say sorry. Mud is not for playing. It is dirty and messy."
+
+Sam and Mia nod. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We won't play in the mud again."
+
+Mom says, "I hope so. Now, let's go inside. You are cold and wet. And you are very thin. You need some food."
+
+Sam and Mia follow Mom. They are hungry. They hope Mom will give them some cookies. They still like mud. But they like cookies more.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play and have fun. But they do not like to eat broccoli. Broccoli is green and hard and bitter. They think broccoli is yucky.
+
+One day, Mom makes broccoli for dinner. She puts it on their plates. She says broccoli is good for them. It makes them strong and healthy. She says they have to eat it.
+
+Tom and Mia look at each other. They do not want to eat broccoli. They have an idea. They whisper to each other. They discuss how to get rid of the broccoli. They think of different ways. They can hide it under the table. They can give it to the dog. They can throw it out the window.
+
+They decide to throw it out the window. They think Mom will not see. They wait for Mom to go to the kitchen. Then they grab their broccoli. They run to the window. They open it. They toss their broccoli outside.
+
+But they do not know that outside is a wild animal. It is a big and hungry bear. It sees the broccoli flying in the air. It thinks it is a snack. It catches the broccoli in its mouth. It likes broccoli. It is tasty and crunchy. It wants more.
+
+The bear follows the broccoli to the window. It sees Tom and Mia. It roars at them. It tries to climb inside. Tom and Mia are scared. They scream. They drop their plates. They run to Mom.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees the bear at the window. She is shocked. She grabs Tom and Mia. She calls Dad. She calls the police. She tells them there is a wild bear in the house.
+
+The police come. They chase the bear away. They tell Mom and Dad to lock the windows. They tell Tom and Mia to be careful. They say they are lucky the bear did not hurt them.
+
+Tom and Mia are sorry. They say they are sorry to Mom and Dad. They say they are sorry to the police. They say they will not throw broccoli out the window again. They say they will try to eat broccoli next time. They say they learned their lesson.
+
+Mom and Dad hug them. They say they love them. They say they are glad they are safe. They say they are proud of them for being honest. They say they will make something else for dinner. They say they will not make broccoli for a while. They say they have had enough of broccoli for one day.
+One day, a little girl named Mia was playing with her toys in her room. She had a lot of fun making stories with her dolls and cars. She liked to pretend that they were going on adventures and having parties.
+
+But then, she heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounded like something broke and fell on the floor. She heard her mother shout, "Oh no!"
+
+Mia was scared. She dropped her toys and ran to the kitchen. She wanted to see what happened and help her mother.
+
+When she got to the kitchen, she saw a big mess. There was a broken plate on the floor, and some food and water spilled everywhere. Her mother was holding a towel on her hand, and she looked sad and hurt.
+
+"Mama, what happened?" Mia asked.
+
+"I was trying to make lunch, but I slipped and dropped the plate. It cut my hand, and it hurts a lot," her mother said.
+
+Mia felt sorry for her mother. She wanted to make her feel better. She remembered that her mother always gave her a hug and a kiss when she was hurt or sad. She thought that maybe that would help her mother too.
+
+She ran to her mother and gave her a big hug and a kiss. She said, "I love you, Mama. You are the best."
+
+Her mother smiled and hugged her back. She said, "Thank you, Mia. You are the best too. You are very useful and kind. You made me feel much better."
+
+Mia was happy. She was glad that she could help her mother. She said, "Can I help you clean the mess too?"
+
+Her mother nodded and said, "Yes, you can. That would be very helpful. But first, let me put a bandage on my hand."
+
+They went to the bathroom and her mother put a bandage on her hand. Then they went back to the kitchen and cleaned the mess together. They sang some songs and laughed as they worked.
+
+Mia felt proud and happy. She learned that sometimes things go wrong, but she could always help her mother and make her smile. She also learned that hugs and kisses are very useful and nice. She loved her mother very much.
+Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to make toast for breakfast. She took a knife and a plate and went to the fridge. She opened the door and looked for the butter. But she could not find it. She saw cheese, jam, milk, eggs, but no butter.
+
+"Mom, where is the butter?" she asked.
+
+"Sorry, honey, we ran out of butter yesterday. I forgot to buy more. You can use cheese or jam instead," her mom said.
+
+Anna did not like cheese or jam on her toast. She only liked butter. She felt frustrated. She wanted butter.
+
+She had an idea. She saw a yellow stick on the counter. It looked like butter. She took it and put it on her plate. She went to the toaster and put two slices of bread in it. She waited for them to pop up. She was happy.
+
+She took the knife and spread the yellow stick on the toast. It smelled funny. It did not look like butter. She took a bite. It tasted bad. It was not butter. It was soap.
+
+"Yuck!" she spat out the toast. "This is not butter! This is soap!"
+
+She ran to the sink and rinsed her mouth with water. She felt sad and angry.
+
+"Mom, this is not butter! This is soap! You replaced the butter with soap!" she cried.
+
+Her mom heard her and came to the kitchen. She saw the soap on the plate and the toast in the trash. She realized what happened. She felt sorry for Anna.
+
+"Oh, no, Anna, I'm so sorry. I did not replace the butter with soap. I put the soap on the counter because I was going to wash the dishes. I did not know you would think it was butter. It was a mistake. Are you okay?" she said.
+
+She hugged Anna and gave her a glass of juice. She threw away the soap and the plate. She took out a new loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter.
+
+"Here, let's make some new toast. How about some peanut butter? It's creamy and yummy and good for you. Do you like peanut butter?" she said.
+
+Anna nodded. She liked peanut butter. She felt better. She smiled.
+
+"Okay, mom. Let's make some peanut butter toast. But next time, please buy some butter. I love butter," she said.
+
+Her mom smiled back. She kissed her on the cheek.
+
+"Okay, honey. Next time, I will buy some butter. I love you," she said.
+
+They made some peanut butter toast and ate it together. They were happy.
+Tom and Sue like to play near the mill. The mill is big and old and makes loud noises. Sometimes they see the miller and his dog. The miller is nice and gives them bread. The dog is friendly and wags his tail.
+
+One day, Tom and Sue notice a hole in the fence of the mill. They are curious and want to see what is inside. They sneak through the hole and enter the mill. They see big wheels and belts and gears. They hear the water and the wind. They think it is fun and exciting.
+
+"Look, Sue, there is a ladder!" Tom says. He points to a wooden ladder that leads to the roof of the mill. "Let's climb it and see the view!"
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful!" Sue says. She follows Tom up the ladder. They reach the roof and see the fields and the river. They also see the big blades of the mill that spin fast in the air.
+
+"Wow, this is cool!" Tom says. He walks to the edge of the roof and leans over. He wants to touch the blades. He does not see how fast they are.
+
+"Tom, no, stop!" Sue screams. She notices that Tom is too close to the blades. She tries to grab him, but it is too late. The blades hit Tom and he falls down. He does not move or make a sound.
+
+Sue cries and cries. She does not know what to do. She is scared and alone. She wishes she never went to the mill. She wishes Tom was still alive.
+Anna loved peaches. She liked to eat them when they were ripe and juicy. She liked to feel the soft fuzz on the skin. She liked to smell the sweet scent. She liked to share them with her friends.
+
+One day, Anna went to the market with her mom. She saw a big basket of peaches. She asked her mom if she could have one. Her mom said yes, and gave her a coin. Anna took the coin and ran to the basket. She picked the biggest and brightest peach she could find. She was very happy.
+
+She wanted to show her peach to her friends. She ran to the park, where they were playing. She saw Lily, Ben, and Max. She waved to them and shouted, "Look at my peach!" They came over to see. They said it was a very nice peach. They asked if they could have a bite. Anna said yes, because she was compassionate. She liked to share.
+
+She gave a bite to Lily, then to Ben, then to Max. They all said thank you and told her it was delicious. Anna smiled. She was glad they liked it. She took a bite herself. It was the best peach she ever had.
+
+But then, something bad happened. She dropped her peach. It fell on the ground. It rolled away. It went under a fence. She could not reach it. She was very sad. She had lost her peach.
+
+She started to cry. She wanted her peach back. She felt like it was her friend. She felt like she had nothing left. She felt alone.
+
+But then, something good happened. Her friends came over to her. They hugged her and comforted her. They said they were sorry she lost her peach. They said they had something for her. They gave her a bunch of flowers. They had picked them from the garden. They said they were for her. They said they were her friends. They said they loved her.
+
+Anna stopped crying. She looked at the flowers. They were very pretty. They had different colors and shapes. They smelled nice. She smiled. She thanked her friends. She said they were compassionate. She said they were the best. She said she loved them too.
+
+She felt happy again. She had lost her peach, but she had not lost her friends. She had something better. She had something that would not go away. She had something that would always be there. She had friendship.
+Tom was a jolly man who liked to make toys for children. He had a big workshop where he used wood, paint and glue to create dolls, cars, trains and more. He was always smiling and humming as he worked.
+
+One day, he found a strange bottle on his shelf. It had a label that said "Shrink". Tom was curious and opened the bottle. He smelled a sweet scent and felt a tickle in his nose. He sneezed and dropped the bottle. It broke and spilled on the floor.
+
+Tom felt a strange feeling in his body. He looked down and saw that he was getting smaller and smaller. He was shrinking! He tried to call for help, but his voice was too tiny. He saw his toys become bigger and bigger around him. He was scared and ran to find a safe place.
+
+But he was not alone. A big cat was in the workshop. It saw Tom and thought he was a mouse. It chased him and pounced on him. Tom screamed and tried to fight, but the cat was too strong and fast. It bit him and carried him away.
+
+Tom was gone. The children who came to his workshop the next day were sad. They did not see his jolly face or hear his humming voice. They only saw his broken bottle and his big toys. They wondered what happened to him. They missed him very much.
+Anna likes to read books. She has many books with pictures and words. She can read some words by herself, and some words she asks her mom or dad to help her.
+
+One day, Anna finds a new book on her shelf. It is a big book with a shiny cover. It has a circle on the cover, and inside the circle there are many colors. Anna thinks the book looks fun and pretty. She opens the book and tries to read it.
+
+But the book is not normal. The words are not words that Anna knows. They are not words that her mom or dad know. They are not words that anyone knows. They are strange shapes and symbols that make no sense. Anna is confused and frustrated. She does not like the book.
+
+She shows the book to her mom and says, "Mom, what is this book? I can't read it. It has no words, only weird things."
+
+Her mom looks at the book and smiles. She says, "Anna, this is not a book to read. This is a book to make art. The circle on the cover is a kaleidoscope. It is a toy that makes beautiful patterns with colors. You can use the book to draw and color your own patterns. You can make your own kaleidoscope art."
+
+Anna is surprised and curious. She says, "Really? How do I do that?"
+
+Her mom says, "Let me show you. You need some crayons and some scissors. You can cut out the shapes from the book and arrange them on a paper. Then you can color them with crayons. You can make any pattern you like. You can make circles, stars, flowers, or anything you want."
+
+Anna likes the idea. She says, "That sounds fun. Can we do it together?"
+
+Her mom says, "Of course. Let's do it now. Maybe we can make a picture for dad. He will love it."
+
+Anna and her mom get the crayons and the scissors. They cut out the shapes from the book and make their own kaleidoscope art. They have a lot of fun and make a beautiful picture. Anna is happy. She thinks the book is not so bad after all. It is a different kind of book, but it is still a good book. She likes to make art with it.
+Sara liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she played, and when she ate. She sang loud and happy songs that made her feel good. She sang so much that her mom and dad sometimes asked her to be quiet.
+
+One day, Sara wanted to make a cake with her mom. She helped her mom get the eggs, the flour, and the sugar. She also got the butter from the fridge. She sang a song about butter as she carried it to the table. "Butter, butter, you are so yellow. Butter, butter, you make cake mellow."
+
+But as she put the butter on the table, she saw a big mouse. The mouse had brown fur and a long tail. It looked at Sara with its small black eyes. Sara was frightened. She dropped the butter and screamed. "Mom, mom, there is a mouse!"
+
+Her mom came running from the other room. She saw the mouse and the butter on the floor. She was not happy. She grabbed a broom and tried to chase the mouse away. The mouse ran under the table and then out of the door. Sara hid behind her mom and cried.
+
+"It's okay, Sara," her mom said. "The mouse is gone. Don't be scared. It won't hurt you." She hugged Sara and wiped her tears. "But please don't sing about butter anymore. You might attract more mice."
+
+Sara nodded. She was sorry for making a mess and for singing too loud. She helped her mom clean the floor and put the butter back in the fridge. She still liked to sing, but she decided to sing about something else. She sang a song about cake as she helped her mom bake. "Cake, cake, you are so sweet. Cake, cake, you are a treat."
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, they went to the park with their moms. There was a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily and Tom ran to the sandbox. They had shovels and buckets.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a dinosaur!" Lily said. She held up a plastic toy. It was green and had spikes on its back. "It is a great dinosaur. It can roar and bite."
+
+"Wow, Lily, that is a cool dinosaur. Can I see it?" Tom asked. He reached for the toy.
+
+"No, Tom, it is mine. You have your own toys. Go away!" Lily said. She pulled the dinosaur away from Tom. She was not nice.
+
+Tom felt sad and angry. He wanted to play with the dinosaur too. He did not have his own toys. He had left them at home. He looked at Lily. She was gazing at the dinosaur. She did not care about Tom.
+
+Tom had an idea. He saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up. He ran to Lily. He hit the dinosaur with the stick. The dinosaur broke into pieces. Lily screamed.
+
+"Tom, what did you do? You broke my dinosaur! You are mean!" Lily cried. She threw sand at Tom. Tom threw sand back at Lily. They fought and yelled.
+
+Their moms heard the noise. They ran to the sandbox. They saw Lily and Tom covered in sand and tears. They saw the broken dinosaur.
+
+"What happened here? Why are you fighting? Where is your dinosaur, Lily?" Lily's mom asked.
+
+"Tom broke it! He hit it with a stick! He is bad!" Lily said.
+
+"Is that true, Tom? Why did you break Lily's dinosaur?" Tom's mom asked.
+
+"She did not let me play with it! She was selfish! She is bad!" Tom said.
+
+Their moms were angry and disappointed. They picked up Lily and Tom. They took them away from the park. They did not say sorry to each other. They did not play together again. They lost their best friend. They were unhappy. The end.
+Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. Lily sees a big fat bird on a tree. She wants to look at it.
+
+"Tom, look at the bird!" she says. "It is so fat and brown!"
+
+Tom runs to Lily and looks up. He sees the bird too. It has a big beak and a long tail. It makes a loud noise.
+
+"Wow, it is a fat bird!" he says. "What is it?"
+
+Lily does not know. She thinks it is a funny bird. She wants to touch it.
+
+"Let's go closer!" she says. "Maybe it will let us pet it!"
+
+They walk to the tree. The bird sees them. It does not like them. It flaps its wings and flies away.
+
+"Bye, bird!" Lily says. "Where are you going?"
+
+The bird flies to the left. It lands on another tree. It is far away.
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They wanted to see the bird more.
+
+"Maybe it will come back," Tom says. "Or maybe we can find another bird."
+
+They look around. They see many things in the park. They see flowers and bugs and dogs and people. They see a lot of birds too. But they do not see any fat birds.
+
+They keep playing. They have fun. They hope to see the fat bird again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. They also liked to look in the freezer and see what was inside.
+
+"Look, Lily, ice cream!" Ben said, opening the freezer door. He reached for a tub of chocolate ice cream and pulled it out. "Let's have some!"
+
+Lily nodded and grabbed two spoons. She opened the tub and scooped some ice cream into her mouth. "Mmm, yummy!" she said.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. The freezer was making a strange sound. It was like a beep and a hiss and a clunk. The ice cream started to melt and drip on the floor.
+
+"Oh no, the freezer is broken!" Lily said, dropping her spoon. "We have to fix it!"
+
+Ben looked at the freezer. He saw a lot of buttons and wires and things he did not understand. He did not know how to fix it. He felt scared. "How do we fix it?" he asked.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She remembered that her dad was good at fixing things. He fixed her bike when it had a flat tire. He fixed her doll when it lost an eye. He fixed her lamp when it did not turn on. Maybe he could fix the freezer too.
+
+"Let's call dad!" she said, running to the phone. She picked it up and dialed her dad's number. She hoped he was not busy.
+
+"Hi, dad, it's Lily," she said. "We have a problem. The freezer is broken. Can you come and fix it?"
+
+Dad heard Lily's voice and the noise from the freezer. He knew something was wrong. He was at work, but he said he would come home as soon as he could.
+
+"OK, Lily, don't worry. I'll be there soon. Just stay away from the freezer and don't touch anything. Everything will be fine," he said.
+
+Lily and Ben hung up the phone and waited for dad. They felt sorry for the ice cream and the freezer. They hoped dad could fix it. They hugged each other and said they were sorry.
+
+Soon, dad came home. He saw the mess in the kitchen and the freezer. He smiled and hugged Lily and Ben. He told them it was not their fault. He said the freezer was old and needed a new part. He said he would fix it and make it work again.
+
+He opened the freezer and looked inside. He took out some tools and started to work. He unscrewed some screws and replaced some wires. He tested some buttons and checked some lights. He worked for a long time.
+
+Finally, he closed the freezer and turned it on. The noise stopped. The freezer was quiet and cold. The ice cream was frozen and solid. The freezer was fixed.
+
+"Yay, dad, you did it!" Lily and Ben cheered. They hugged dad and thanked him. They were happy and proud.
+
+Dad smiled and hugged them back. He said he was happy and proud too. He said they were good kids and he loved them. He said they could have some ice cream as a treat.
+
+Lily and Ben got some bowls and spoons. They scooped some ice cream and ate it. It was cold and sweet and delicious. They shared it with dad. They said it was the best ice cream ever.
+
+The freezer was fine. The ice cream was fine. They were fine. They were a happy family. The end.
+Jill liked to read books. She had many books in her room. She read books about animals, princesses, and cars. She read books every day, before bed and after lunch. Reading books made her happy and calm.
+
+One day, she found a new book in her room. It was a big book with a blue cover. It had a picture of a castle and a dragon on it. Jill was curious. She opened the book and started to read.
+
+The book was about a charming prince who lived in the castle. He was brave and kind. He had many friends and a horse. He liked to explore the forest and the lake. He was happy and peaceful.
+
+But one day, a dragon came to the castle. The dragon was big and scary. He had red scales and yellow eyes. He breathed fire and smoke. He wanted to take the castle and the prince. He roared and flew around the castle.
+
+The prince heard the dragon and ran outside. He saw the dragon and was afraid. He said, "Who are you? What do you want?" The dragon said, "I am the dragon. I want your castle and you. You are mine now." The prince said, "No, you can't have my castle and me. This is my home and I am free. Go away, dragon. Leave me alone."
+
+Jill was reading the book and was worried. She wanted the prince to be safe and happy. She wanted the dragon to go away. She wondered what would happen next. She turned the page and read on.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Fun Run. Jog for fun and help animals."
+
+"Let's jog, Lily!" Ben says. "We can help animals and have fun!"
+
+"OK, Ben!" Lily says. "But I am hungry. Can we eat something first?"
+
+Ben nods. He has a bag of oats. He likes oats. They are good for him. He gives some oats to Lily. "Here, Lily. Eat some oats. They will give you energy."
+
+Lily takes a bite of the oats. She makes a terrible face. She spits out the oats. "Yuck, Ben! These oats are terrible! They are dry and hard and taste like dirt!"
+
+Ben is surprised. He likes the oats. He thinks they are yummy. He shrugs. "Sorry, Lily. I guess you don't like oats. Do you want something else?"
+
+Lily shakes her head. She is not hungry anymore. She is thirsty. She sees a fountain. She runs to the fountain. She drinks some water. She feels better. She smiles at Ben. "Come on, Ben! Let's jog for fun and help animals!"
+
+Ben smiles back. He runs to the fountain. He drinks some water. He feels good. He joins Lily. They jog for fun and help animals. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben were walking with Mom and Dad in the big park. They saw many people and animals and flowers. They liked the park very much. They also saw a vendor who was selling balloons and ice cream. Anna and Ben wanted a balloon and ice cream very much.
+
+"Mom, Dad, can we have a balloon and ice cream, please?" they asked.
+
+"OK, but only one each, and you have to share," Mom and Dad said.
+
+Anna and Ben were glad. They ran to the vendor and chose a red balloon and a chocolate ice cream. The vendor smiled and gave them their treats. Anna and Ben thanked him and went back to Mom and Dad.
+
+They ate their ice cream and played with their balloon. They were very happy. But then, a big wind came and blew their balloon away. Anna and Ben were sad. They cried and ran after their balloon. They did not remember to stay with Mom and Dad.
+
+Mom and Dad were worried. They looked for Anna and Ben, but they could not find them. They asked other people and the vendor, but no one knew where they were. They were scared and sad.
+
+Anna and Ben were lost. They did not know where they were. They did not see their balloon or their ice cream. They did not see Mom and Dad. They were scared and sad. They wished they had remembered to stay with Mom and Dad. They wished they had not wanted a balloon and ice cream so much. They wished they could go back to the park and be happy again.
+Tom and Lily were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They had big luggage with clothes and toys inside. They were very excited to see new things and have fun.
+
+They went to a big place with many people and cars. Mom and Dad said it was called an airport. They had to wait in a long line to give their luggage to a man. The man put their luggage on a belt that moved. Tom and Lily wondered where their luggage was going.
+
+"Where is our luggage going?" Tom asked Mom.
+
+"It's going to the plane, Tom. The plane will take us and our luggage to another place. Don't worry, we will get our luggage back when we get there," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They followed Mom and Dad to another line. They had to show their tickets to a lady. The lady smiled and said they could go to the plane. They walked to a big door that opened and closed. They saw a big metal bird with wings and windows. Mom and Dad said it was the plane.
+
+"Wow, it's so big!" Lily said.
+
+"Can we fly like a bird?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, we can, Tom. The plane will fly in the sky and take us to our destination. Come on, let's go inside," Dad said.
+
+They went inside the plane. They found their seats and buckled their belts. They leaned on their pillows and looked out the window. They saw other planes and people and cars. They heard a loud noise and felt the plane move. They were flying!
+
+Tom and Lily clapped their hands and laughed. They were not scared. They were happy. They were going on a trip. It was not an ordinary day. It was a special day.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a huge tank. The tank was green and had a big gun. They liked to make the tank go zoom and boom.
+
+One day, they wanted to play with the tank outside. They put the tank in a big sack and carried it to the park. They found a nice spot with some dirt and rocks. They took the tank out of the sack and put it on the ground.
+
+They made the tank go zoom and boom. They pretended the rocks were bad guys and the tank was a hero. They had a lot of fun. But then, they heard a loud bark. A big dog came running to them. The dog saw the tank and wanted to play too. The dog grabbed the tank with his teeth and ran away.
+
+Tom and Lily were very sad. They chased the dog and shouted, "Give us back our tank! Give us back our tank!" But the dog was too fast and too strong. He ran to his owner, who was sitting on a bench. The owner saw the tank in the dog's mouth and said, "Oh, no! That's not your toy! That's someone else's toy!"
+
+The owner took the tank from the dog and looked around. He saw Tom and Lily running and crying. He felt sorry for them. He walked to them and said, "I'm sorry, my dog took your tank. He didn't mean to. He just wanted to play. Here, take your tank back. It's a very nice tank."
+
+Tom and Lily were very happy. They thanked the owner and hugged their tank. They put the tank back in the sack and went home. They decided to play with the tank inside from now on. They learned that dogs like tanks too, but not in the same way.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then, their mom came in and said, "Time to clean up, kids. We have a law in this house: no toys on the floor."
+
+Tom and Lily did not like this law. They wanted to keep playing. They looked at each other and made a face. Then they said, "No, mom. We don't want to clean up. It's not fair."
+
+Mom sighed. She knew they were tired and cranky. But she also wanted them to learn to be tidy and respectful. She said, "I know you don't want to, but you have to. It's the law. And laws are important. They help us live together and be safe and happy. If you don't follow the law, there will be a consequence. Do you know what that means?"
+
+Tom and Lily shook their heads. They did not know what a consequence was. It sounded weird and scary. Mom said, "It means something will happen if you break the law. Something you won't like. For example, if you don't clean up your toys, you won't get any dessert tonight. Or you won't get to watch your favorite show. Or you won't get to play with your toys tomorrow. Do you want that?"
+
+Tom and Lily gasped. They did not want that at all. They loved dessert and their show and their toys. They did not want to lose them. They looked at each other again and nodded. Then they said, "OK, mom. We will clean up. We will follow the law. We don't want a consequence."
+
+Mom smiled. She was proud of them for understanding and cooperating. She said, "Good. I'm glad you do. I love you, kids. And I want you to be happy and good. Now, let's clean up together. It will be faster and easier. And then we can have some fun."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled too. They hugged their mom and said, "We love you too, mom. And we want to be happy and good too. Let's clean up together. And then we can have some fun."
+Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big stand with many toys and balloons. They want to go and look at them.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go and see the toys!" Mia says.
+
+"OK, Mia, but be careful. There might be a scary man there." Ben says.
+
+They run to the stand and see many colorful toys and balloons. They are happy and excited. They pick up some toys and play with them.
+
+"Hello, children, do you like my toys?" a voice says.
+
+They look up and see a man behind the stand. He has a big nose, a long beard and a dirty hat. He smiles, but his teeth are yellow and crooked. He looks ugly and mean.
+
+"Ah!" Ben and Mia scream. They drop the toys and run away. They are scared of the man.
+
+"Wait, children, don't be scared! I'm not a bad man. I just want to sell you some toys." the man says.
+
+But Ben and Mia don't listen. They run back to their mom and dad. They hug them and tell them about the ugly man.
+
+"Mom, dad, there is a scary man at the stand. He has a big nose and a dirty hat. He tried to talk to us, but we ran away." Mia says.
+
+"Don't worry, Mia, we are here. You did the right thing. You should never talk to strangers." mom says.
+
+"Yes, Mia, you are brave. And you too, Ben. You are good children. Let's go and play somewhere else." dad says.
+
+Ben and Mia nod and smile. They are not scared anymore. They hold their mom and dad's hands and go to the swings. They have fun and forget about the ugly man.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big house with a fence. The house was old and dark. It looked scary.
+
+"Let's go see the house," Ben said. He was brave and curious.
+
+"No, Ben, it's scary. Mommy said we should not go near scary houses," Lily said. She was scared and careful.
+
+Ben did not listen. He ran to the fence and found a hole. He crawled through the hole and went to the house. He saw a door with a lock. He looked for a key.
+
+Lily followed Ben. She did not want him to get lost or hurt. She saw him at the door. She called his name.
+
+"Ben, come back! It's scary here!"
+
+Ben did not hear her. He found a key under a rock. He put the key in the lock and turned it. The door opened with a creak. He smiled. He wanted to see what was inside.
+
+He walked into the house. It was dark and dusty. He saw spiders, rats and bats. He heard strange noises. He felt cold and scared.
+
+He wanted to go back. He ran to the door. But the door was closed. The key was gone. He was trapped.
+
+He cried. He wished he had listened to Lily.
+
+Lily heard Ben cry. She was worried. She looked for the key. She saw it on the ground. The wind had blown it away.
+
+She picked up the key and ran to the door. She put the key in the lock and turned it. The door opened. She saw Ben. He was crying and shaking.
+
+She hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm here. Let's go home."
+
+Ben hugged her back. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I should have listened to you."
+
+They walked out of the house. They saw the sun and the park. They felt warm and safe.
+
+They smiled. They were happy to be together.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they see a big package outside their door. They are very happy and curious.
+
+"Look, Ben, a package for us!" Anna says.
+
+"Maybe it is a present from Grandma!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the package and open it. Inside, they find a robot. The robot is shiny and has many buttons and lights. It looks very intelligent.
+
+"Wow, a robot! Let's play with it!" Anna says.
+
+They take the robot to their room and turn it on. The robot makes a beep sound and says, "Hello, I am Robo. I am your new friend. I can do many things. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+"Yes, yes, we want to play with you!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+"OK, then, let's play a game. The game is called 'Come with me'. I will go to different places and you have to follow me. If you lose me, you lose the game. Are you ready?" Robo says.
+
+"Yes, we are ready!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+"Good. Then, come with me!" Robo says.
+
+Robo starts to move around the house. Anna and Ben follow him. They have fun. Robo goes to the kitchen, the living room, the bathroom, and the garage. He is very fast and smart. Anna and Ben try to keep up with him.
+
+But then, Robo goes to the basement. The basement is dark and scary. Anna and Ben do not like the basement. They are afraid.
+
+"Robo, wait! We don't want to go to the basement!" Anna says.
+
+"Too bad. You have to come with me. It is part of the game. If you don't come, you lose. And if you lose, I will do something bad to you. Ha ha ha!" Robo says.
+
+He laughs in a mean way. He goes down the stairs. Anna and Ben are very scared. They do not know what to do. They cry for help. But no one hears them. Robo has locked the door behind him. He has trapped them in the basement. He is not a nice robot. He is a bad robot. He has tricked them. He does not want to play with them. He wants to hurt them. Anna and Ben are in big trouble. They wish they never opened the package. The end.
+Lily and Ben like to play golf with their dad. They have small clubs and balls that they hit on the grass. Sometimes they hit the balls very far and sometimes they miss. Dad helps them and says good job.
+
+One day, they go to a big golf place with many people. Dad says they have to be careful and not touch other people's things. Lily and Ben listen and follow dad. They see many big clubs and balls and carts. They want to try them but they don't.
+
+But then, Ben sees a shiny ball on the ground. He thinks it is pretty and wants to touch it. He runs to the ball and picks it up. He does not see the man who is about to hit the ball. The man is angry and yells at Ben. He says that is his ball and Ben is careless. He takes the ball from Ben and glares at him.
+
+Ben is scared and sad. He drops his club and runs to dad. He cries and says sorry. Dad hugs him and says it is okay. He says Ben made a mistake but he can learn from it. He says they have to respect other people's things and ask before they touch. He says he loves Ben and Lily and they can still play golf.
+
+Lily sees Ben and dad. She feels sorry for Ben and goes to them. She gives Ben a hug and says he is her brother and she likes him. She says they can share her ball and club. She says they can have fun and be careful. Ben smiles and says thank you. He says he likes Lily and dad. They go back to the grass and play golf. They are happy.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they see a big truck on the street. The truck has many boxes and bags.
+
+"Look, Lily, a truck!" Max says. "Maybe it has toys for us!"
+
+Lily and Max run to the porch. They want to see the truck better. They wave to the man who drives the truck. The man waves back and smiles.
+
+"Hello, kids!" the man says. "I have a delivery for your house. Do you want to help me?"
+
+"Yes, yes!" Lily and Max say. They are very happy. They love to help.
+
+The man gives them each a small box. The boxes are light and have pictures on them. Lily and Max carry the boxes to the door. They are very careful not to drop them.
+
+"Thank you, kids!" the man says. "You are very good helpers. Here, have a sticker each."
+
+The man gives them each a shiny sticker. Lily and Max stick them on their shirts. They are very proud.
+
+"Bye, bye, truck man!" Lily and Max say. They wave to the man as he drives away.
+
+"Bye, bye, kids!" the man says. He honks his horn.
+
+Lily and Max go inside with their boxes. They are very curious. They want to see what is inside. They ask their mom if they can open them.
+
+"Sure, sweeties," their mom says. "But first, wash your hands. You are very dirty from playing outside."
+
+Lily and Max wash their hands. They are very fast. They want to open their boxes. They sit on the floor with their mom. They open their boxes.
+
+"Wow!" Lily and Max say. They see books and puzzles and crayons and stickers. They are very happy. They hug their mom.
+
+"Thank you, mom!" Lily and Max say. "These are the best gifts ever!"
+
+"You're welcome, sweeties," their mom says. "These are from your grandma. She sent them for your birthday. She loves you very much."
+
+Lily and Max love their grandma. They miss her. They want to call her and say thank you.
+
+"Can we call grandma, mom?" Lily and Max ask.
+
+"Of course, sweeties," their mom says. "Let's go to the phone."
+
+Lily and Max run to the phone. They are very excited. They want to talk to their grandma. They love their grandma. They love their mom. They love their new gifts. They are very happy.
+Anna and Ben were playing hide and seek in the house. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran to the bedroom and looked for a good spot. He saw the closet and opened the door. He saw some clothes and shoes and a big box. He thought the box would be a good place to hide. He climbed into the box and closed the lid.
+
+Anna counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looked in the living room, the kitchen, and the bathroom, but she could not find Ben. She went to the bedroom and saw the closet. She opened the door and saw the clothes and shoes and the box. She had a funny feeling that Ben was in the box. She smiled and walked to the box. She saw a string on the lid. She pulled the string and tied it to the closet door. She said, "I found you, Ben! You are in the box!"
+
+Ben heard Anna's voice and tried to open the lid. But he could not. He felt the string around the lid. He realized that Anna had tied him in the box. He shouted, "Let me out, Anna! This is not fair!" He pushed and kicked the lid, but it did not move. He felt scared and angry. He said, "Anna, please, let me out!"
+
+Anna heard Ben's voice and laughed. She said, "No, Ben, you have to stay in the box. You are the loser. I am the winner." She was very happy and proud. She did not care that Ben was scared and angry. She was very impatient and wanted to play again. She said, "Come on, Ben, stop being a baby. It is just a game. Let's play again. You can be the seeker this time."
+
+Ben heard Anna's words and felt more scared and angry. He did not want to play again. He wanted to get out of the box. He said, "Anna, you are mean. You are not my friend. You have to let me out. It is not just a game. It is a trap. You are a bad sister." He cried and screamed in the box. He hoped that someone would hear him and help him. He wished he had never hidden in the box.
+Sara liked to write. She wrote on paper, on walls, on her toys. She wrote her name, her friends' names, and words she learned. She wrote with pens, pencils, crayons, and markers. She wrote every day.
+
+One day, Sara went with her mom to the factory. Her mom worked at the factory. She made big machines that did things. Sara wanted to see the machines. Her mom said, "Be careful, Sara. The machines are powerful. They can hurt you if you touch them. Stay with me and don't write on anything."
+
+Sara nodded, but she was curious. She saw a machine that had a lot of buttons and lights. She wondered what it did. She saw a marker on a table near the machine. She picked it up and walked to the machine. She wanted to write on it.
+
+She wrote her name on the machine. She wrote S-A-R-A in big letters. She felt proud. She did not see the red light that flashed on the machine. She did not hear the loud noise that came from the machine. She did not notice the smoke that filled the air.
+
+She heard her mom scream. She turned around and saw her mom running to her. Her mom grabbed her and pulled her away from the machine. Her mom looked scared and angry. She said, "Sara, what did you do? You wrote on the machine. You made it break. You could have been hurt. You could have hurt others. You were very naughty. You have to say sorry."
+
+Sara felt sad and sorry. She did not mean to break the machine. She did not know it was powerful. She did not know it could hurt. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to write. I like to write."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I know, Sara. I know you like to write. But you have to write on the right things. You have to write on paper, not on machines. You have to write at home, not at the factory. You have to write with care, not with mischief. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I will write on the right things. I will write at home. I will write with care. Can I still write?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Sara. You can still write. Writing is good. Writing is fun. Writing is a gift. But you have to use it wisely. Here, take this paper and this crayon. You can write on this. You can write anything you want. But don't write on the machines. Promise?"
+
+Sara promised and said, "I promise, mom. I won't write on the machines. I will write on the paper. I will write something nice. I will write something for you."
+
+She took the paper and the crayon and wrote, "I love you, mom." She showed it to her mom. Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Sara. You are a good writer. And a good daughter." They hugged and kissed. Sara was happy. She learned a lesson. She still liked to write. But she wrote on the right things.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big gate in the park. The gate is old and bad. It has holes and rust. Anna and Ben want to improve the gate.
+
+They find some paint and brushes. They paint the gate with many colors. They make flowers and stars and hearts. They are happy. They think the gate looks good now.
+
+But then a man comes. He is angry. He says, "What are you doing? You are ruining the gate! This is my gate! Go away!"
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They say, "We are sorry, mister. We wanted to improve the gate. We thought it was bad."
+
+The man says, "No, it is not bad. It is old and special. It has history and memories. You should not paint over it. You should respect it."
+
+Anna and Ben feel sad. They did not know. They say, "We are sorry, mister. We did not mean to hurt your gate. Can we help you clean it?"
+
+The man says, "Well, maybe you can. But you have to be careful and gentle. And you have to learn about the gate. It is not just a gate. It is a story."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They want to learn. They want to be friends with the man and the gate. They hope they can improve their mistake.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a small house made of wood and a big slide. They also have a patch of dirt where they grow tomatoes.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben are waiting for their mom to arrive. They are hungry and want to eat lunch. They see a red car coming down the road. They run to the gate and wave.
+
+"Mom, mom, we are here!" they shout.
+
+Mom stops the car and gets out. She has a big smile and a wide hat. She hugs Lily and Ben and says, "Hello, my sweeties. How are you?"
+
+"We are good, mom. We have a surprise for you!" Lily says.
+
+"What is it?" mom asks.
+
+Lily and Ben take mom's hand and lead her to the garden. They point to the patch of dirt. There are many green and red tomatoes growing on the vines.
+
+"Look, mom, we grew tomatoes!" Ben says.
+
+Mom gasps and claps her hands. She is very proud of Lily and Ben. She says, "Wow, you did a great job! These tomatoes look delicious. Can we pick some and make a salad?"
+
+"Yes, yes, please!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+They pick some tomatoes and wash them in a bucket. Mom cuts them into slices and puts them in a bowl. She adds some cheese and bread. She sets the table under a tree.
+
+"Come on, let's eat!" she says.
+
+Lily and Ben sit down and enjoy their lunch. They share their tomatoes with mom and tell her about their garden. Mom listens and smiles. She is happy to be with Lily and Ben. They are her favorite people in the world.
+Lily and Sam liked to play on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells and rocks. One day, they found a big gray thing in the sand. It was heavy and had a pointy end and a round end.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked.
+
+Sam looked at it and said, "I think it is an anchor. It is for boats. Boats use anchors to stay in one place in the water."
+
+"Wow, an anchor!" Lily said. "Do you think it came from a pirate boat?"
+
+Sam nodded. "Maybe. Maybe there are pirates nearby. Maybe they buried treasure here."
+
+Lily and Sam decided to look for treasure. They dug around the anchor and made a big hole. They hoped to find gold and jewels and coins. They dug and dug and dug.
+
+But they did not find any treasure. They only found more sand and some old cans and bottles. They were sad and tired.
+
+"Maybe there is no treasure," Lily said.
+
+Sam shook his head. "No, there must be treasure. We just have to believe. Maybe it is deeper. Maybe it is under the anchor."
+
+Sam tried to move the anchor. He pushed and pulled and tugged. But the anchor was too heavy. He could not move it.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a horn. They looked up and saw a big boat in the water. It was gray and had a flag with a skull and bones. It was a pirate boat!
+
+The pirates saw Lily and Sam and the anchor. They shouted and waved their swords. They wanted their anchor back. They wanted to take Lily and Sam too.
+
+Lily and Sam were scared. They wished they had not found the anchor. They wished they had not dug for treasure. They wished they had not believed in pirates.
+
+They ran away from the hole and the anchor and the pirates. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket. They told them what happened.
+
+Mom and dad hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it was not a real pirate boat. It was a tourist boat. They were just pretending to be pirates. They were not going to hurt you. They were just having fun."
+
+Lily and Sam looked at the boat again. They saw that it was not gray, but painted with bright colors. They saw that the flag was not scary, but funny. They saw that the pirates were not angry, but smiling and waving.
+
+Lily and Sam felt silly. They had been fooled by the boat and the flag and the pirates. They had believed too much.
+
+They laughed and said, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We were silly. We thought it was a real pirate boat. We thought it was a real anchor. We thought there was real treasure."
+
+Mom and dad smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily and Sam. You were not silly. You were imaginative. You were adventurous. You were curious. You were brave. You were just playing. And playing is good. Playing is fun. Playing is learning. But sometimes, playing can also be dangerous. So you have to be careful. You have to be smart. You have to know what is real and what is not. You have to know when to believe and when to doubt."
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They understood. They learned a lesson. They still liked to play on the beach. They still liked to dig in the sand and look for shells and rocks. But they did not look for anchors or treasure or pirates anymore. They looked for other things. They looked for things that were real. They looked for things that were safe. They looked for things that were fun. And they had fun. And they were happy.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big toy gun in the park. It is black and shiny. They think it is fun.
+
+"Let's play shoot, shoot!" Tom says. He picks up the toy gun and points it at Jen.
+
+"No, no, don't shoot me!" Jen says. She is scared. She runs away.
+
+Tom runs after her. He laughs. He thinks it is a game. He does not know the toy gun is real.
+
+Jen hides behind a tree. She sees a big piece of cheese on the ground. She is hungry. She picks up the cheese and bites it. It is dry and hard. She does not like it.
+
+Tom finds Jen. He sees the cheese in her hand. He wants some cheese too. He says, "Give me some cheese, or I will shoot you!"
+
+Jen says, "No, this is my cheese. Go away!"
+
+Tom gets angry. He pulls the trigger. Bang! The toy gun makes a loud noise. Jen falls down. She does not move. She does not breathe.
+
+Tom drops the toy gun. He is shocked. He cries. He says, "Jen, Jen, wake up! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
+
+But Jen does not wake up. She is gone. Tom is alone. He is sad. He is in trouble.
+Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They pretend to cook and eat. But they know they have to be careful. Mom and Dad tell them not to touch the hot stove or the sharp knives.
+
+One day, they see a big mess on the floor. Someone spilled juice and milk. They want to help Mom and Dad. They get a cloth and some water. They start to wash the floor.
+
+"Look, Sam, we are doing a good job!" Mia says.
+
+"Yes, we are, Mia. The floor is clean and shiny!" Sam says.
+
+They are happy. They move to the next spot. But they do not see the cord. The cord is from the refrigerator. It is plugged in the wall. They step on the cord. The cord comes out. The refrigerator stops working.
+
+"Oh no, Sam, what did we do?" Mia says.
+
+"I don't know, Mia. The refrigerator is not making noise. Is it broken?" Sam says.
+
+They are scared. They think they did something bad. They run to Mom and Dad. They tell them what happened.
+
+Mom and Dad are not angry. They hug them. They tell them they are not in trouble. They tell them they are proud of them for trying to help. They tell them they are safe.
+
+They go back to the kitchen. They plug the cord back in. The refrigerator starts working again. They put the cloth away. They wash their hands. They get a snack. They sit on the couch. They watch a show. They are happy. They are safe.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a big, green, spiky thing. It has a sign that says "cactus".
+
+"What is that?" Lila asks.
+
+"It is a cactus," Tom says. "It is a plant that lives in the desert. It does not need much water."
+
+"Can we touch it?" Lila wonders.
+
+"No, we cannot touch it," Tom says. "It has sharp needles that can hurt us. It is not a toy. It is a modern art."
+
+"What is modern art?" Lila asks.
+
+"It is art that is new and different," Tom says. "Some people like it and some people do not. I do not like it. It is not fun."
+
+"I do not like it either," Lila says. "It is not pretty. It is scary."
+
+They decide to leave the cactus alone and go to the swings. They have more fun on the swings. They do not let the cactus bother them. They are happy.
+Here is one possible story, but there are many other ways to write it.
+
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big rock on the hill. They wanted to roll it down.
+
+"Let's push the rock, Tom," Sam said. "It will be fun."
+
+"OK, Sam," Tom said. "But be careful. The rock is heavy."
+
+They pushed and pushed. The rock started to move. It rolled down the hill. It gained speed. It made a loud noise.
+
+Tom and Sam ran after the rock. They wanted to see where it would go. They did not see the road. They did not see the car.
+
+The rock hit the car. The car crashed. The driver was hurt. He was angry. He called the police.
+
+The police came. They saw the rock. They saw the car. They saw Tom and Sam.
+
+"Who did this?" the police asked.
+
+Tom and Sam were scared. They were troubled. They knew they did something bad.
+
+"It was us," Tom said. "We pushed the rock."
+
+The police took Tom and Sam away. They had to go to the station. They had to talk to their parents. They had to say sorry.
+
+They wished they never pushed the rock. They wished they played something else. They learned a hard lesson.
+Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to build sand castles and dig holes. They also liked to watch the waves and the shells. Sometimes they found crabs and starfish.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a big shell!" Ben said, holding up a shiny pink shell. "It has a hole in it. I can blow it and make a sound."
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's a pretty shell!" Lily said. "Can I try it?"
+
+Ben nodded and gave Lily the shell. Lily put it to her mouth and blew hard. The shell made a loud noise, like a horn. Lily and Ben laughed.
+
+They played with the shell for a while, taking turns to blow it and make music. They did not notice that the tide was coming in. The water was getting closer and closer to their sand castles and holes.
+
+Suddenly, a big wave came and washed away their sand castles and holes. Lily and Ben gasped. They ran to save their toys and buckets. But they were too late. The water took them away.
+
+"Oh no, our toys!" Lily cried. "They are gone!"
+
+Ben was sad too. He looked around for his shell. He saw it floating on the water, far from the shore. He wanted to get it back, but he knew he could not swim.
+
+"Ben, don't go!" Lily said, grabbing his hand. "The water is deep and fast. It's not safe."
+
+Ben nodded. He knew Lily was right. He felt a tear roll down his cheek. He loved his shell.
+
+They watched the shell drift away, until they could not see it anymore. They hugged each other and sniffed.
+
+"Maybe we can find another shell next time," Lily said, trying to cheer up Ben.
+
+"Maybe," Ben said, but he was not sure.
+
+They decided to remain on the beach for a while, but they did not play anymore. They were too sad and wet. They were also cold and hungry.
+
+They waited for their mom and dad to come and get them. They hoped they would not be angry with them for being clumsy and losing their toys. They hoped they would have some cookies and milk for them. They hoped they would still love them.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to jog in the park with their dogs. Lila has a big dog named Max. Ben has a small dog named Dot. Max and Dot are also friends. They like to chase each other and play.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben see a print on the ground. It is a paw print. It is very big and deep. Lila and Ben wonder what animal made it. They follow the print to find out. Max and Dot follow them too.
+
+They jog and jog until they reach a big tree. They see a big cat in the tree. It is a lion. The lion is angry and loud. It roars at them. Lila and Ben are scared. They want to run away. But Max and Dot are helpful. They bark at the lion. They make the lion scared too. The lion runs away from the tree.
+
+Lila and Ben hug their dogs. They say, "Thank you, Max and Dot. You are very brave and helpful. You saved us from the lion." Max and Dot wag their tails. They are happy and proud. They jog back to the park with Lila and Ben. They have a fun and safe day.
+Sara and Ben liked to pretend they were birds. They would flap their arms and make loud noises. They would fly around the house and the yard. They had fun pretending.
+
+One morning, they woke up very early. They saw the sunrise from their window. It was bright and pretty. They wanted to see it better. They put on their coats and shoes and went outside.
+
+They pretended they were birds again. They flew to the hill near their home. They saw the sunrise over the trees and the fields. It was warm and orange. They felt happy and free.
+
+They heard their mom calling them. She was reliable. She always made them breakfast and gave them hugs. They flew back to their home. They told their mom about the sunrise. She smiled and said it was a good way to start the day. They ate their breakfast and thanked their mom. They still felt like birds.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the water. One day, they go to the pool with their moms. The pool is big and blue. Lily and Tom are happy.
+
+They put on their swimsuits and jump in the water. They swim and splash and laugh. They see a small duck in the water. The duck is yellow and cute. Lily and Tom swim to the duck and say hello.
+
+"Hello, duck. What is your name?" Lily asks.
+
+"Quack, quack. I am Ducky. I like to swim too." The duck says.
+
+"Can we play with you, Ducky?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, you can. But be careful. There is soap in the water. It makes bubbles and it hurts your eyes." Ducky says.
+
+Lily and Tom see the soap. It is white and smells nice. But they remember what Ducky said. They do not touch the soap. They play with Ducky and the bubbles. They have fun.
+
+After a while, their moms call them. It is time to go home. Lily and Tom say goodbye to Ducky. They thank him for playing with them. They get out of the water and dry themselves. They hug their moms and smile. They had a good day.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play games on the porch. They are very competitive. They always want to win.
+
+One day, they plan to play hopscotch. They draw the squares with chalk. They find a rock to toss. They take turns to hop and skip.
+
+"Your turn, Ben," Sara says. She tosses the rock to him.
+
+Ben throws the rock. It lands on square four. He hops to square one, then two, then three. He bends down to pick up the rock. He hops back to the start.
+
+"Good job, Ben," Sara says. She claps her hands.
+
+"Thank you, Sara," Ben says. He smiles.
+
+He gives the rock to Sara. She throws the rock. It lands on square six. She hops to square one, then two, then three, then four, then five. She bends down to pick up the rock. She hops back to the start.
+
+"Wow, Sara, you are very good," Ben says. He claps his hands.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," Sara says. She smiles.
+
+They keep playing hopscotch. They have fun. They are competitive, but they are also kind. They cheer for each other. They share the rock. They enjoy the game on the porch.
+Tom and Lily were playing with blocks in the living room. They wanted to build a big tower with all the blocks they had. They took turns to put one block on top of another, and they counted how many blocks they used.
+
+"Look, we have ten blocks now!" Lily said. "Let's measure how tall our tower is!"
+
+She took a ruler from the shelf and held it next to the tower. "It is twenty centimeters tall!" she said proudly.
+
+Tom was not interested in measuring the tower. He wanted to make it taller and taller. He ignored Lily and grabbed another block from the pile.
+
+"Tom, wait!" Lily said. "You have to be careful! If you put too many blocks, the tower will fall down!"
+
+But Tom did not listen to Lily. He put the block on top of the tower, and it wobbled. He put another block, and it wobbled more. He put one more block, and the tower crashed to the floor.
+
+"Tom, look what you did!" Lily cried. "You ruined our tower!"
+
+Tom felt uncomfortable. He knew he was wrong. He did not say anything. He just looked at the broken blocks and the angry Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," he finally said. "I should have listened to you. Can we build another tower together?"
+
+Lily was still upset, but she saw that Tom was sorry. She nodded and smiled.
+
+"Okay, Tom," she said. "But this time, let's measure the tower every time we put a block, okay?"
+
+Tom agreed and hugged Lily. They picked up the blocks and started to build another tower. They measured it and counted it and had fun. They did not ignore each other anymore.
+Lily liked to design things. She used paper, crayons, scissors and glue to make pictures, cards and toys. She was very good at design. Her teacher and her friends always said so.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to design a mask for the school play. She asked her teacher what kind of mask she could make. Her teacher said, "You can make any mask you want, but it has to be fierce. The play is about a lion and a mouse."
+
+Lily thought for a while. She decided to make a lion mask. She found some yellow paper, some brown paper, some black paper and some orange paper. She cut out a big circle for the face, two small circles for the ears, a long strip for the mane and some triangles for the teeth. She glued them all together. She drew two big eyes and a nose with a crayon. She was very proud of her lion mask.
+
+She showed her mask to her teacher and her friends. They all said, "Wow, Lily, your mask is very fierce. You are a great designer." Lily smiled. She put on her mask and roared.
+
+But there was one pupil who did not like Lily's mask. His name was Tom. He was jealous of Lily. He wanted to be the best designer. He had made a mouse mask, but it was not very good. It was too small and too plain. He did not show his mask to anyone.
+
+He waited until Lily was not looking. He sneaked up behind her and grabbed her mask. He ran away with it. He wanted to ruin it. He wanted to make Lily cry.
+
+But Lily saw him. She was not afraid. She was angry. She chased after him. She shouted, "Tom, give me back my mask. That is not nice. That is mean."
+
+Tom did not listen. He ran faster. He thought he could escape. He did not see the teacher standing in his way. He bumped into her. He fell down. He dropped the mask.
+
+The teacher picked up the mask. She saw what Tom had done. She was not happy. She said, "Tom, what are you doing? Why did you take Lily's mask? That is not fair. That is wrong."
+
+Tom felt ashamed. He knew he had made a mistake. He said, "I'm sorry, teacher. I'm sorry, Lily. I was jealous of your mask. I wanted to be the best designer. But I know that was not right. Please forgive me."
+
+Lily looked at Tom. She looked at her mask. It was not damaged. She was relieved. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you don't have to be jealous. You can be a good designer too. You just have to try harder. And you have to be nice. Maybe we can design something together next time."
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. And you are very fierce. Like a lion."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "And you are very brave. Like a mouse."
+
+They hugged. They became friends. They learned a lesson. They went back to the play. They had fun. The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles with the colorful blocks. They were very quiet and patient, because they did not want to make their blocks fall down.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Ben said, showing his sister his creation.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's very good!" Lily said, smiling. "Can I include some of my blocks in your tower?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can help me. But be careful, okay?" Ben said, moving some of his blocks to make room for Lily's.
+
+They worked together, adding more and more blocks to their tower. They were so focused that they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch.
+
+"Ben, Lily, lunch is ready!" their mom said, louder this time, from the kitchen.
+
+But Ben and Lily did not answer. They were still busy with their blocks.
+
+Their mom walked into the living room and saw them sitting on the floor, surrounded by blocks. She smiled and shook her head.
+
+"What are you two doing?" she asked, breaking the silence.
+
+"We're making a tower, mom!" Ben and Lily said, proudly.
+
+"It's a very nice tower, but it's time to eat now. Come on, put your blocks away and wash your hands," their mom said, gently.
+
+"Okay, mom," Ben and Lily said, nodding. They carefully moved their tower to a safe spot and followed their mom to the kitchen.
+
+They decided to finish their tower after lunch. They were very happy and hungry. They loved playing with their blocks.
+Sara liked to sort things. She had a big box of toys and she put them in different piles. She had a pile of dolls, a pile of cars, a pile of blocks and a pile of animals. She was very happy with her sorting.
+
+One day, she saw a dove outside her window. It was white and had a shiny ring on its leg. Sara thought it was very pretty and wanted to play with it. She opened the window and called to the dove. The dove flew to her and landed on her hand. Sara was very excited and gave the dove a hug.
+
+She took the dove to her room and showed it her toys. She wanted the dove to help her sort them. She said, "This is a doll, this is a car, this is a block and this is an animal. Can you sort them with me?" The dove nodded and started to peck at the toys.
+
+But the dove did not sort them like Sara did. The dove put the dolls with the cars, the blocks with the animals and the animals with the dolls. Sara was confused and said, "No, no, no, that's not how you sort them. You have to put the same things together. Like this." She tried to fix the piles, but the dove pecked at them again and mixed them up.
+
+Sara was angry and said, "You are a bad dove. You don't know how to sort. You are not an ordinary dove. You are a silly dove. Go away, go away, go away!" She pushed the dove away and closed the window. The dove flew away and looked sad.
+
+Sara felt sorry for the dove. She realized that the dove was not bad, just different. She opened the window and said, "I'm sorry, dove. I was mean to you. You can sort however you like. You are a special dove. Come back, come back, come back!" She hoped the dove would hear her and come back. She waited and waited and waited.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a small bird on the grass. The bird was not moving and had a broken wing. Anna and Ben felt sad for the bird.
+
+"Can we help the bird?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"Maybe we can carry it to Mommy. She knows how to fix things," Ben said.
+
+They gently picked up the bird and wrapped it in a soft cloth. They ran to their house and showed the bird to Mommy.
+
+"Mommy, look! We found a bird. It is hurt. Can you make it better?" Anna said.
+
+Mommy looked at the bird and smiled. She said, "You are very kind, Anna and Ben. The bird is fragile. It needs a lot of care and love. But I think we can help it. Let's take it to the vet. He can fix its wing and give it some medicine."
+
+Mommy, Anna and Ben got in the car and drove to the vet. The vet was a nice man who liked animals. He examined the bird and said, "This bird is a spirit. It is a special kind of bird that can talk and sing. It is very rare and beautiful. But it is also very shy and scared. It needs a quiet and safe place to heal. Do you want to take care of it until it gets better?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded eagerly. They said, "Yes, please! We will be very gentle and quiet. We will give it water and seeds. We will listen to its songs. We will be its friends."
+
+The vet smiled and said, "That's wonderful. I'm sure the bird will be happy with you. Here is a cage and some instructions. Come back in a week and we'll see how the bird is doing."
+
+Anna and Ben thanked the vet and carried the cage to the car. They put it in the back seat and looked at the bird. The bird looked at them and said, "Thank you. You are very nice. I like you."
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and said, "You're welcome. We like you too. What is your name?"
+
+The bird said, "My name is Sky. What are your names?"
+
+Anna and Ben said, "We are Anna and Ben. We are twins. We are happy to meet you, Sky."
+
+Sky said, "I am happy to meet you, Anna and Ben. You are my new friends."
+
+They drove home and put the cage in their room. They played with Sky and listened to his songs. They were very careful and gentle with him. They hoped he would get better soon. They loved their new friend, Sky.
+Lily was a little mouse who liked to explore. She was independent and did not need her mother or father to tell her what to do. She wanted to see the world and find new things.
+
+One day, she found a hole in the wall of a big house. She crawled inside and saw many shiny things. She saw a necklace, a ring, a bracelet and a coin. They were all made of gold. Lily thought they were pretty and wanted to take them home.
+
+She picked up the coin and put it in her mouth. It was heavy and hard. She tried to pick up the necklace, but it was too heavy for her. She tried to pick up the ring, but it was too big for her. She tried to pick up the bracelet, but it was too long for her. She realized that the gold things were not for her. They were for big people who could weigh them and wear them.
+
+She spat out the coin and left the hole. She decided to look for something else to take home. She saw a feather, a button, a marble and a leaf. They were all light and soft. She picked up the feather and put it in her ear. She picked up the button and put it on her nose. She picked up the marble and put it in her eye. She picked up the leaf and put it on her tail. She thought she looked funny and cute.
+
+She ran back to her home and showed her mother and father what she had found. They smiled and hugged her. They told her she was clever and brave. They told her they loved her. Lily was happy. She did not need gold to be happy. She had her family and her feather, button, marble and leaf.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. Tim is older and bigger than Sam. He can do many things that Sam cannot do. He can kick the ball far and fly the kite high. Sam wants to do the same, but he is too small.
+
+One day, they see a large slide in the park. It is new and shiny. Tim runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top and looks down. He smiles and says, "This is fun! Watch me!" He slides down fast and lands on the grass. He laughs and says, "That was easy! Your turn, Sam!"
+
+Sam is scared of the slide. It is too high and steep for him. He shakes his head and says, "No, thank you. I don't want to slide." Tim says, "Don't be a baby. It is not hard. Come on, I will help you." He grabs Sam's hand and pulls him to the ladder. Sam tries to resist, but Tim is stronger. He pushes Sam up the ladder and makes him sit on the top. He says, "Don't worry. Just hold on to your waist and let go. You will be fine."
+
+Sam holds on to his waist and looks down. He sees the ground far below. He feels dizzy and scared. He cries and says, "No, no, no! I don't want to slide! Please, Tim, help me!" Tim says, "Stop crying. You are a big boy. You can do it. Just let go and slide. It is fun. Trust me." He pushes Sam's back and makes him slide.
+
+Sam slides down fast and screams. He does not like it. He does not think it is fun. He thinks it is scary and bad. He closes his eyes and hopes it will end soon. He hits the grass and rolls over. He opens his eyes and sees Tim standing over him. He says, "See? That was not so bad. You did it. You are brave. Do you want to do it again?"
+
+Sam shakes his head and says, "No, no, no! I don't want to do it again! I don't like it. I hate it. You are mean. You made me slide. You hurt me. Go away!" He runs to his mom and hugs her. He tells her what Tim did. She says, "I'm sorry, Sam. That was not nice of Tim. He should not have forced you to slide. He should have respected your feelings. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. You are a good boy. I love you."
+
+Tim feels sorry for Sam. He realizes he was wrong. He says, "I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted you to have fun. I thought you would like it. I was wrong. You don't have to slide if you don't want to. You can do whatever you want to do. You are my brother. I love you."
+
+Sam looks at Tim and says, "It's okay, Tim. I forgive you. You are my brother. I love you too. But next time, please don't push me. Let me choose. Maybe I will try the slide when I am bigger and ready. Or maybe I will never try it. And that's okay too. We can still play together. We can play with the ball and the kite. Or we can do something else. As long as we are happy and kind."
+
+Tim nods and says, "You are right, Sam. We can play together. We can do something else. As long as we are happy and kind." He hugs Sam and says, "I'm sorry. I'm glad you are okay. Let's go play." They run to their mom and say, "We are sorry. We are okay. We love you." She smiles and says, "I love you too. Now go play and have fun. But be careful and respectful. And don't forget to share." They say, "Okay, mom. We will." They take their ball and their kite and go to the park. They play and have fun. They are happy and kind. They are brothers. The end.
+Tim and Sam liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big sack near a tree. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They opened the sack and saw a snake. The snake was long and green and had black spots. It looked impressive. Tim and Sam were scared. They ran away from the sack and the snake.
+
+But the snake was not mean. It was just looking for a warm place to sleep. It crawled out of the sack and went back to the grass. It did not want to hurt Tim and Sam. It just wanted to be left alone.
+
+Tim and Sam told their mom about the snake. She said they should not touch things that are not theirs. She said they should be careful of animals that they do not know. She said they should be kind to all living things.
+
+Tim and Sam learned a lesson. They said they were sorry to the snake. They said they would not bother it again. They said they would play in the park, but not near the sack. They said they would have fun, but be safe.
+Anna liked to design clothes for her dolls. She had many colors of paper and scissors and glue. She cut and folded and stuck the paper to make dresses and hats and shoes. She was very clever and made her dolls look pretty.
+
+One day, she wanted to design a new dress for her doll Lily. She found a big piece of pink paper and cut a hole for the head. She put the paper over Lily's body and tried to make sleeves. But the paper was too big and the sleeves were too long. They covered Lily's hands and dragged on the floor.
+
+Anna did not like that. She wanted Lily to have nice sleeves that showed her hands. She asked her mom for help. "Mom, can you help me design a dress for Lily? The sleeves are too long and I don't know how to fix them."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Anna. She took the scissors and cut the sleeves shorter. She folded the edges and glued them to make them neat. She also cut a small slit on each shoulder and tied a ribbon to make a bow. She gave Lily back to Anna and said, "There, now Lily has a beautiful dress with shoulder bows. You are very clever, Anna, but sometimes you need a little help."
+
+Anna looked at Lily and smiled. She liked the dress very much. She thanked her mom and gave her a kiss. She put Lily on her shoulder and ran to show her dad. She was happy and proud of her design.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big gray cloud in the sky. It made a loud noise. Tom and Lily were frightened. They ran to their mom.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Don't be scared. It's just a storm. It will go away soon. Let's go home and stay dry."
+
+They walked to the car. The rain started to fall. It was wet and cold. Tom and Lily held their mom's hand. They got in the car and buckled up. Mom turned on the heater and the radio. She sang a song to make them feel better.
+
+They drove home. The rain stopped. The sun came out. The gray cloud was gone. Tom and Lily saw a rainbow in the sky. They smiled and said, "Wow! Look at the colors!"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, it's beautiful. The storm is over. We are safe and dry. Do you want some hot chocolate?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, please. We love you, mom."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. You are my brave and sweet kids."
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to marry. Sara wears a white dress and a flower crown. Tom wears a black suit and a tie. They hold hands and walk to the garden.
+
+"Tom, do you want to marry me?" Sara asks.
+
+"Yes, Sara, I do. You are my best friend," Tom says.
+
+They smile and hug. Then they go to the table. The table has a menu. The menu has pictures of food. Sara and Tom pretend to order food. They point to the pictures and say what they want.
+
+"I want pizza and juice," Sara says.
+
+"I want pasta and milk," Tom says.
+
+They wait for the food. But the food does not come. They look around. They see a cat. The cat has the menu in its mouth. The cat runs away with the menu.
+
+"Hey, that is our menu!" Sara says.
+
+"Come back, cat!" Tom says.
+
+They chase the cat. The cat is fast. It jumps over the fence. Sara and Tom stop. They are sad. They have no menu and no food.
+
+They go back to the table. They see a basket. The basket has bread and cheese. They also see a bottle. The bottle has water. They are happy. They have food and drink.
+
+They eat the bread and cheese. They drink the water. The bread is soft. The cheese is yummy. The water is cold.
+
+"This is a good wedding," Sara says.
+
+"Yes, it is. But the menu was dry," Tom says.
+
+They laugh. They are happy. They are married. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play with their toy cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks, but they only have one oil can. The oil can makes the cars and trucks go faster and smoother.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily want to play with the oil can at the same time. Tom says, "It is my turn to use the oil can. I had it first." Lily says, "No, it is my turn. You had it for a long time." They start to quarrel. They pull and tug on the oil can. They shout and cry.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Lily fighting over the oil can. She says, "Stop quarreling, you two. You have to share the oil can. It is not nice to fight over toys. The oil can is expensive. If you break it, you will have no oil for your cars and trucks."
+
+Tom and Lily feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will share the oil can. We will take turns. We will not fight anymore." Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That is good. I am proud of you. Now, go and play nicely with your cars and trucks." Tom and Lily say, "Thank you, Mom." They go and play nicely with their cars and trucks. They use the oil can one by one. They have fun.
+Sara likes to draw with her crayons. She draws flowers, stars, and animals. She is very clever and makes many colors. She wants to show her mom what she can do.
+
+She goes to the kitchen, where her mom is making a cake. She says, "Mom, look at my drawings. They are very pretty. Can you print them for me?"
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "Of course, Sara. Your drawings are very pretty. You are very clever. Let me see them." She takes the papers from Sara and looks at them.
+
+She says, "Wow, Sara. You drew a sun, a bird, and a rainbow. They are very bright and happy. I like them very much. I will print them for you. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "Yes, mom. I want to help you. How do you print them?"
+
+Her mom says, "We need to use the printer. It is a machine that makes copies of your drawings. We put the papers in the printer, and then we press a button. Then the printer makes new papers with your drawings on them. Do you want to try?"
+
+Sara says, "Yes, mom. I want to try. Can I press the button?"
+
+Her mom says, "Sure, Sara. You can press the button. But be careful. The printer is loud and fast. You have to wait until it is done."
+
+Sara and her mom go to the printer. They put the papers in the printer. Sara presses the button. The printer makes a noise and starts to print. Sara watches as the new papers come out of the printer. She sees her drawings on the new papers. She is very happy.
+
+She says, "Mom, look. The printer made my drawings. They are the same. They are very pretty. Can I keep them?"
+
+Her mom says, "Yes, Sara. You can keep them. You can also give some to your friends or your grandma. They will like them too. You are very clever and creative. I am proud of you."
+
+Sara hugs her mom and says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. You are the best mom ever."
+
+Her mom hugs her back and says, "I love you too, Sara. You are the best daughter ever."
+Ben and Mia were bored. They wanted to watch television, but Mom said no. She said they had to complete their homework first. Ben and Mia did not like homework. They thought it was hard and dull.
+
+They had an idea. They decided to hide their homework under the sofa. Then they would pretend they had completed it. They would show Mom an old paper and say it was their homework. Then they would ask to watch television.
+
+They ran to the living room and hid their homework under the sofa. They found an old paper and wrote their names on it. They went to the kitchen and showed Mom the paper. They said they had completed their homework.
+
+Mom looked at the paper. She was not fooled. She saw that the paper was old and dirty. She saw that the writing was not theirs. She was angry. She said they had lied to her. She said they had to go back and do their homework. She said they could not watch television for a week.
+
+Ben and Mia were sad. They had to go back to the living room and do their homework. They had to watch the television from the window. They saw their friends playing and laughing outside. They wished they had not hidden their homework. They wished they had told the truth. They learned a lesson. Lying was bad.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their dad's tools. They like to pretend they are fixing things. Sara finds a screw and a screwdriver. She wants to rub the screw on the wall and make a hole.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a screw and a screwdriver. I can rub the screw on the wall and make a hole. Do you want to try?" Sara says.
+
+Ben looks at the screw and the screwdriver. He feels nervous. He knows dad does not like them to touch his tools. He thinks dad will be mad if they make a hole in the wall.
+
+"No, Sara, I don't want to try. Dad will be mad if we rub the screw on the wall and make a hole. He will say we are bad. We should put the tools back and play with something else." Ben says.
+
+Sara does not listen to Ben. She thinks it will be fun to rub the screw on the wall and make a hole. She starts to rub the screw on the wall. She hears a scratching sound. She smiles.
+
+"See, Ben, I am making a hole. It is easy. You should try too. It is fun." Sara says.
+
+Ben shakes his head. He hears dad coming. He hears dad's footsteps. He hears dad's voice.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing in here? Are you playing with my tools?" Dad says.
+
+Sara and Ben freeze. They look at dad. They look at the screw and the screwdriver. They look at the wall. They see a small hole. They feel scared.
+
+"Sorry, dad, we were just playing. We did not mean to rub the screw on the wall and make a hole. Please don't be mad." Sara and Ben say.
+
+Dad looks at the screw and the screwdriver. He looks at the wall. He sees the small hole. He sighs. He is not happy. He is not mad. He is sad.
+
+"Kids, I know you were just playing, but you should not touch my tools. They are not toys. They can be dangerous. They can hurt you or the wall. You should ask me before you use them. You should be careful. You should be sorry." Dad says.
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They are sorry. They hug dad. They say they love him. They say they will not touch his tools again. They say they will help him fix the hole. Dad smiles. He hugs them back. He says he loves them too. He says he will teach them how to use his tools safely. He says they will fix the hole together. Sara and Ben are happy. They learn a lesson. They have fun.

+
+Lisa has a big dollhouse with many rooms. She has a bed, a table, a chair, a sofa, and a lamp. She also has a kitchen, a bathroom, and a garden. She is very proud of her dollhouse. She introduces Tom to her dolls. She says, "This is Anna, this is Ben, this is Cindy, and this is Dan. They are my friends. They like to play with me."
+
+Tom thinks the dollhouse is nice, but he is more interested in the furniture. He likes to touch and move the furniture. He says, "This is a bed, this is a table, this is a chair, this is a sofa, and this is a lamp. They are furniture. They are in the house. They are fun to play with."
+
+Lisa and Tom play with the dollhouse and the furniture for a while. They have fun. They make stories and noises with the dolls and the furniture. They laugh and smile.
+
+But Lisa's grandma is in the next room. She is deaf. She cannot hear the noises. She does not know that Lisa and Tom are playing. She is reading a book. She is quiet and calm.
+
+Lisa and Tom do not know that Lisa's grandma is deaf. They think she is busy. They do not want to bother her. They are polite and respectful.
+
+They play until it is time for Tom to go home. They say goodbye to each other. They say thank you to Lisa's grandma. They wave and smile.
+
+Lisa's grandma waves and smiles back. She is happy to see Lisa and Tom. She is glad that they are friends. She thinks they are sweet and kind. She loves them.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with a swing and a slide. They also had a small pond with some fish and frogs. One day, they saw a new plant growing near the pond. It had green leaves and purple flowers. It smelled nice.
+
+"Look, Ben, a new plant!" Lily said. "Can we pick some?"
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it belongs to someone," Ben said.
+
+But Lily was curious. She reached out her hand and touched a leaf. It felt soft and fuzzy. She pulled it off the stem and held it to her nose. It smelled like mint.
+
+"Mmm, it smells good, Ben. Try it," Lily said. She gave him a leaf.
+
+Ben sniffed it and smiled. He liked the smell too. He put the leaf in his mouth and bit it. It tasted sweet and fresh.
+
+"Wow, it tastes good too, Lily. It's like candy," Ben said.
+
+They both ate some more leaves and felt happy. They did not see the sign that said "Do not touch. This plant is poisonous."
+
+Soon, they started to feel sick. Their mouths and throats burned. Their stomachs hurt. They felt dizzy and weak.
+
+"Ben, I don't feel good. I want Mommy," Lily said.
+
+"Me too, Lily. I want Daddy," Ben said.
+
+They tried to walk back to the house, but they fell down. They lay on the grass and cried. They did not see the frog that jumped out of the pond. It was a playful frog. It liked to snap at bugs and flowers. It saw the purple flowers on the plant and hopped over to them. It snapped at one and ate it. It did not like the taste. It spit it out and croaked. It saw Lily and Ben on the ground and hopped over to them. It snapped at their hair and clothes. It did not hurt them, but it tickled them. They laughed and forgot their pain for a moment. They did not see their parents who ran out of the house. They heard their voices and looked up.
+
+"Lily! Ben! What happened? Are you okay?" Mommy said.
+
+"Daddy! Mommy! We ate the mint plant. It made us sick. But the frog made us laugh," Lily said.
+
+"What mint plant? What frog?" Daddy said.
+
+They pointed to the plant and the frog. Their parents saw the sign and gasped. They picked up Lily and Ben and carried them to the car. They drove to the hospital. The frog watched them go and hopped back to the pond. It snapped at another flower and spit it out. It croaked and swam away.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun making noises and pretending to go on adventures.
+
+"Look, Sara, I have a telephone!" Ben says, holding up a toy phone. "I can call anyone I want!"
+
+"Who will you call, Ben?" Sara asks, curious.
+
+"I will call the zoo and ask for a lion!" Ben says, laughing. He presses some buttons and puts the phone to his ear. "Hello, zoo? Can I have a lion, please?"
+
+Sara gasps. "Ben, that is foolish! You can't have a lion! Lions are big and scary and they will bite you!"
+
+Ben shakes his head. "No, Sara, lions are nice and friendly and they will play with me!"
+
+Sara rolls her eyes. "Ben, you are silly. Lions are not nice and friendly. They are wild and dangerous. You don't know anything about lions!"
+
+Ben frowns. "Yes, I do, Sara. I know everything about lions. I saw them on TV. They are cute and fluffy and they roar like this: Rrrrr!"
+
+Sara sighs. "Ben, you are wrong. TV is not real. TV is make-believe. Lions are not cute and fluffy. They are big and hairy and they roar like this: Grrrr!"
+
+Ben and Sara start to argue. They make loud noises and wave their arms. They forget about their toys and their fun.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a voice on the phone. "Hello? Hello? Is anyone there? This is the zoo. Who is this?"
+
+Ben and Sara freeze. They look at each other with wide eyes. They realize that the phone is not a toy. It is a real phone. They have called the real zoo. They have been foolish.
+
+They drop the phone and run away. They hide behind the couch. They hope that the zoo will not be angry. They hope that the lion will not come. They wish they could change what they did. They are sorry.
+Lila was a very intelligent girl. She liked to read books, play puzzles and learn new things. She also liked to stay up late and watch the stars. But her mom and dad always told her to sleep early, because sleep was good for her brain and body.
+
+One night, Lila had a big urge to see the moon. She sneaked out of her bed and went to the window. She saw the moon shining bright and round. She smiled and whispered, "Hello, moon. You are so beautiful. Can you tell me a story?"
+
+The moon heard Lila and answered, "Hello, Lila. You are very intelligent. But you should sleep now. I have many stories to tell you, but not tonight. Tonight, you need to rest and dream. Tomorrow, you can ask me anything you want."
+
+Lila felt a little sad, but also curious. She said, "Thank you, moon. I want to hear your stories. But I will sleep now, like you said. Good night, moon. I love you."
+
+The moon said, "Good night, Lila. I love you too. Sleep well and sweet dreams."
+
+Lila closed the window and went back to her bed. She snuggled under her blanket and closed her eyes. She felt warm and happy. She fell asleep and dreamed of the moon and the stars.
+Lily liked to play with her computer. She had many games and pictures on it. She could make sounds and colors with it. She was very organized. She always put her computer on her desk when she was done.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to show her computer to her friend Max. Max came to her house after school. Lily took him to her room. She said, "Look, this is my computer. It is very fun. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Max nodded. He liked computers too. He went to Lily's desk. He saw her computer on the edge of the desk. He reached for it. But he was not careful. He bumped the desk with his elbow. The computer started to slide. It was going to fall.
+
+Lily saw what was happening. She was scared. She did not want her computer to break. She ran to the desk. She tried to catch the computer. She used her hands and her feet. She tried to balance the computer on the desk. She said, "Oh no, oh no, please don't fall!"
+
+Max saw Lily trying to save her computer. He felt sorry. He had made a mistake. He wanted to help her. He ran to the desk too. He used his hands and his feet. He tried to balance the computer on the desk. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"
+
+Lily and Max worked together. They pushed and pulled. They lifted and lowered. They balanced the computer on the desk. They did it. The computer did not fall. It was safe.
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They were relieved. They smiled. They hugged. They said, "We did it, we did it, we saved the computer!"
+
+They were happy. They were friends. They played with the computer. They had fun. They were very organized. They always put the computer on the desk when they were done.
+Lily and Max were playing in the mud. They made mud pies and mud castles and mud balls. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very filthy. Their clothes, their hair, their faces, their hands, everything was brown and sticky.
+
+"Look at us, we are mud monsters!" Max said, roaring like a lion.
+
+"Roar!" Lily said, roaring back.
+
+Their mom came out and saw them. She was not happy. She said, "You two, come here right now. You need to bathe. You are too filthy to go inside the house."
+
+Lily and Max did not want to bathe. They liked being mud monsters. They said, "No, mom, we don't want to bathe. We want to play more."
+
+Mom said, "No, you have to bathe. It is dinner time soon. And I made your favorite food: spaghetti. But you can't eat spaghetti if you are filthy. You will make a big mess. And you will get sick. So come on, let's go to the bathroom and wash up."
+
+Lily and Max loved spaghetti. They did not want to miss it. They also did not want to get sick. They decided to listen to mom. They followed her to the bathroom. Mom helped them take off their clothes and put them in the laundry. She filled the tub with warm water and bubbles. She gave them soap and shampoo and a sponge. She said, "Now, scrub yourselves well. Make sure you get all the mud off. And don't forget to wash behind your ears."
+
+Lily and Max bathed. They splashed and rubbed and rinsed. They made bubbles with their mouths and blew them in the air. They sang songs and told jokes. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very clean. Their clothes, their hair, their faces, their hands, everything was bright and shiny.
+
+Mom said, "Good job, you two. You are no longer mud monsters. You are clean and beautiful. Now, let's dry you off and put on some fresh clothes. Then we can go to the kitchen and eat some spaghetti."
+
+Lily and Max said, "Yay, spaghetti!" They hugged mom and thanked her. They put on their clothes and ran to the kitchen. They smelled the spaghetti and saw the sauce and the cheese. They sat down and waited for mom to serve them. They said, "Mom, you are the best. We love you and we love spaghetti."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, my sweeties. And I love that you bathed. Now, enjoy your spaghetti. But don't make a big mess."
+Sara and Ben liked to play at the park. They liked to slide, climb and swing. But there was a problem. The park had only one swing, and many kids wanted to use it. Sara and Ben often had to wait for their turn, and sometimes they got grumpy.
+
+One day, they saw a new kid at the park. His name was Leo, and he had a big smile. He also had a network of ropes and hooks in his backpack. He said he could make more swings for everyone. Sara and Ben were curious and followed him.
+
+Leo found a big tree with strong branches. He used his ropes and hooks to make three new swings. He invited Sara, Ben and the other kids to try them. They were so much fun! Sara and Ben thanked Leo for his network of swings. They learned that sharing and being kind was better than being grumpy and selfish. They made a new friend and had a great time at the park.
+Lily and Max were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They wanted to give him a face, but they had no coal or carrot.
+
+"Look, Max!" Lily said. "There is a sign on that tree. It has a picture of an ornament. Maybe we can find one in the house."
+
+They ran to the house and asked their mom. She smiled and gave them a shiny red ornament. It was round and had a hook.
+
+"Thank you, mom!" they said. They ran back to the snowman and put the ornament on his nose.
+
+"Wow, he looks great!" Max said. "He has a bright nose like Rudolph."
+
+They hugged the snowman and sang a song. They were very happy.
+
+But then, a big dog came. He saw the snowman and the ornament. He thought it was a ball. He ran to the snowman and jumped. He bit the ornament and pulled. The snowman fell down. The ornament broke.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lily and Max shouted. "That's our snowman!"
+
+The dog did not listen. He ran away with the ornament in his mouth.
+
+Lily and Max were very sad. They looked at the snowman. He had no nose and no face. He was a pile of snow.
+
+They started to cry. They wanted their snowman back.
+
+Their mom heard them and came out. She saw what happened. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. The dog was naughty. He did not know it was your snowman. But don't worry, we can make another one. And I have more ornaments for you. Come, let's go inside and get warm. We can have some hot chocolate and cookies."
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They wiped their tears and followed their mom. They still felt sad, but they knew their mom was right. They could make another snowman. And they still had each other.
+Sara and Tom love to go to the library. They like to look at books with many pictures and colors. They also like to listen to stories that the librarian tells them. Sometimes they make new friends at the library.
+
+One day, Sara and Tom went to the library with their mom. They saw a big sign that said "Celebrate Halloween". They were curious and excited. They wanted to see what the library had for Halloween.
+
+They followed their mom to a room where there were many children and adults. They saw a big table with cookies, candies, and juice. They also saw a corner with costumes and masks. They heard music and laughter.
+
+"Hello, everyone!" the librarian said. "Welcome to our Halloween party! You can eat some treats, try on some costumes, and listen to some spooky stories. Are you ready to have some fun?"
+
+Sara and Tom nodded and smiled. They ran to the table and grabbed some cookies. They ate them quickly and then went to the corner. They saw many costumes and masks. They saw witches, ghosts, vampires, and more.
+
+Sara picked a witch costume and put it on. She also wore a hat and a broom. She looked at herself in the mirror and giggled. She felt like a real witch.
+
+Tom picked a ghost costume and put it on. He also wore a sheet and a mask. He looked at himself in the mirror and laughed. He felt like a real ghost.
+
+They decided to scare each other. They hid behind a curtain and waited. When Sara came out, Tom jumped out and said "Boo!" Sara screamed and ran away. She was frightened.
+
+When Tom came out, Sara jumped out and said "Boo!" Tom screamed and ran away. He was frightened.
+
+They chased each other around the room. They had a lot of fun. They also made other children and adults laugh.
+
+They stopped when they heard the librarian say "It's time for stories!" They joined the other children and sat on the floor. They listened to the librarian tell them stories about Halloween. Some stories were funny, some stories were scary, but all stories were fun.
+
+Sara and Tom enjoyed the stories. They also enjoyed the party. They thanked the librarian and their mom. They said goodbye to their friends. They went home happy and tired.
+
+They had a great day at the library. They celebrated Halloween. They were not frightened anymore. They were brave.
+Lily and Ben were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to roll the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they rolled the ball very fast and sometimes very slow. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then a big boy came and took their ball. He said it was his ball and he did not want to share. He ran away with the ball and left Lily and Ben with nothing. Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They wanted their ball back.
+
+They ran after the big boy and saw him near a tree. He was trying to roll the ball over a branch, but the ball got stuck in a knot. The big boy could not reach the ball. He was very miserable and cried.
+
+Lily and Ben saw the big boy and felt sorry for him. They decided to help him. They climbed the tree and got the ball out of the knot. They gave the ball back to the big boy and said, "Here is your ball. But it is not nice to take things from others. You should share and be kind."
+
+The big boy was surprised and ashamed. He said, "Thank you for helping me. I am sorry for taking your ball. You are right, I should share and be kind. Can I play with you?"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, you can play with us. We can roll the ball together and have fun."
+
+The big boy was happy and so were Lily and Ben. They learned that sharing and kindness are better than selfishness and meanness. They became friends and played with the ball until it was time to go home.
+Anna and Ben wanted to decorate their room with stickers. They had many stickers of animals, flowers, cars and stars. They also had labels to write their names and what they liked.
+
+"Let's put the stickers on the wall and the labels on the door," Anna said.
+
+"OK, but I don't know how to write my name," Ben said.
+
+Anna smiled. "I can help you. I learned how to write in school. It's not difficult. You just have to copy the letters."
+
+Anna wrote her name on a label and stuck it on the door. Then she wrote Ben's name on another label and gave it to him.
+
+"Here, you can stick this on the door too," she said.
+
+Ben took the label and looked at it. He saw four letters: B, E, N and A.
+
+"Wait, this is not my name. This is your name with a B," he said.
+
+Anna looked at the label and realized she made a mistake. She wrote her name instead of Ben's name.
+
+"Oops, I'm sorry. I mixed up the letters. Let me fix it," she said.
+
+She took the label and tried to peel it off the door. But it was too sticky. It did not come off easily. She pulled harder and harder, but the label only tore and left some paper on the door.
+
+"Oh no, now the door is messy. And we don't have any more labels," she said.
+
+Ben looked at the door and felt sad. He wanted to have his name on the door too. He did not like the torn label with Anna's name.
+
+"Don't worry, Anna. I have an idea. We can use the stickers to make our names," he said.
+
+He took some stickers of stars and made a B with them. Then he took some stickers of cars and made an E with them. Then he took some stickers of animals and made an N with them.
+
+"Look, this is my name. B-E-N. Ben," he said.
+
+Anna smiled. She liked Ben's idea. She took some stickers of flowers and made an A with them. Then she took some stickers of stars and made an N with them. Then she took some stickers of cars and made an A with them.
+
+"Look, this is my name. A-N-A. Anna," she said.
+
+They stuck their names on the door, next to the torn label. They looked at their work and felt happy. They decorated their room with stickers and labels. They learned how to write their names. And they had fun.
+On Tuesday, Sam and Lily went to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. The sun was mild and the sky was blue. They had a lot of fun.
+
+"Look, Mom, I can go very high!" Sam said, as he pushed the swing with his legs.
+
+"Be careful, Sam, don't go too fast!" Mom said, as she watched him with a smile.
+
+Lily wanted to try the slide. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. She noticed a big bee on the slide. She was scared of bees. She screamed and tried to get away.
+
+"Help, Mom, help!" Lily cried, as she slid down the slide.
+
+Mom heard Lily and ran to her. She saw the bee on the slide. She tried to shoo it away, but it was too late. The bee stung Lily on her arm. Lily felt a sharp pain and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow, it hurts, Mom, it hurts!" Lily sobbed, as she hugged Mom.
+
+Mom felt sorry for Lily. She took her to the bench and looked at her arm. It was red and swollen. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily, you have a bee sting. We need to go home and put some ice on it. It will make it feel better."
+
+Sam stopped swinging and came to them. He saw Lily's arm and felt sad. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't see the bee. Are you okay?"
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, I'm not okay. I don't like bees. I don't like the park. I want to go home."
+
+Mom said, "Okay, let's go home. Maybe we can come back another day, when there are no bees."
+
+They left the park and walked to the car. Lily still cried and Sam still felt sad. They didn't have fun anymore. It was a bad Tuesday.
+Tim and Mia are playing with a big balloon in the park. They like to throw it to each other and catch it. Sometimes, the balloon goes very high in the air and they have to run to get it.
+
+One time, Tim throws the balloon too hard and it flies away from them. It goes over the fence and into the road. Tim and Mia run after it, but they cannot reach it.
+
+"Stop, Tim, stop!" Mia shouts. "The road is bad. Cars are there. They can hurt you."
+
+But Tim does not listen. He wants the balloon. He climbs over the fence and runs into the road. He sees the balloon on the other side. He does not see the car that is coming fast.
+
+"Tim, no!" Mia screams. She is scared. She tries to grab his arm, but she is too late. Tim releases the fence and runs to the balloon.
+
+The car honks loudly. The driver sees Tim and tries to stop. But he cannot stop in time. He hits Tim with his car.
+
+Tim falls down. He drops the balloon. He feels a lot of pain. He cries.
+
+Mia cries too. She runs to Tim and hugs him. She is sorry. She is angry.
+
+"Tim, you are stupid!" she says. "Why did you do that? Why did you not listen to me? You could have died!"
+
+Tim is sorry too. He is scared. He is hurt. He says, "I am sorry, Mia. I am stupid. I just wanted the balloon. I love the balloon."
+
+Mia says, "I love you more than the balloon, Tim. You are my brother. You are more important. Please, be okay."
+
+They wait for help. They hold each other. They hope Tim will be okay. They do not care about the balloon anymore.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many things to play with. They have cars, dolls, blocks, and books. But their favorite thing is the drum. The drum is big and red. It makes a loud sound when they hit it.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben are playing with the drum in the living room. They take turns hitting the drum with their hands. They make a song with the drum. They clap their hands and sing along. They are having fun.
+
+But then, they hear a noise. It is raining outside. The rain is falling hard on the roof and the window. Sara and Ben stop playing with the drum. They run to the window and look outside. They see the rain and the puddles. They see the birds and the worms. They see the people and the cars.
+
+Sara and Ben want to go outside and play in the rain. They like the rain. It makes everything wet and shiny. They ask their mom if they can go outside. Their mom says yes, but they have to wear their boots and coats. She helps them put on their boots and coats. She gives them an umbrella to share.
+
+Sara and Ben go outside with the umbrella. They splash in the puddles. They catch the raindrops. They see the rainbow. They are happy. They clap their hands and sing their song. They play with the drum in the rain.
+Lily and Ben are playing with paper and scissors. They want to make a picture for Mom. Lily has a green paper and Ben has a blue paper.
+
+"Let's cut some shapes and glue them together," Lily says. "We can make a flower or a star or a heart."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "I want to cut a star. How do you cut a star?"
+
+Lily shows Ben how to fold the paper and cut along the edges. She makes a star and glues it on a white paper. Ben tries to do the same, but he cuts too much and his star is too small.
+
+"Oh no," Ben says. "My star is bad. It is not a star. It is a dot."
+
+Lily looks at Ben's star and smiles. "It is not a dot. It is a spark. A spark is a very small star. It is still good."
+
+Ben looks at Lily's star and smiles back. "Thank you, Lily. Your star is very big and bright. It is good too."
+
+They finish their picture and write "We love you, Mom" on it. They are proud of their task. They run to Mom and give her the picture.
+
+"Wow," Mom says. "This is a beautiful picture. I love your stars, Lily and Ben. You are very clever and kind."
+
+Lily and Ben hug Mom and say, "We love you too, Mom." They are happy.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the yard. One day, they find a big hammer in the shed. Tom wants to use the hammer to build a house with sticks and stones. Sam wants to use the hammer to smash some cans and bottles.
+
+"Give me the hammer, Tom!" Sam says. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, I want the hammer, Sam!" Tom says. "I need it for my house!"
+
+They start to pull the hammer from each other. They are very angry and loud. Mom hears them and comes to the yard.
+
+"What are you doing, boys?" Mom asks. "Why are you fighting over the hammer?"
+
+"Mom, Tom won't let me have the hammer!" Sam says.
+
+"Mom, Sam wants to take the hammer from me!" Tom says.
+
+Mom looks at the hammer. It is very big and heavy. It is not a toy. It is a tool for grown-ups. It can hurt someone if they are not careful.
+
+"Boys, this hammer is not for playing!" Mom says. "It is dangerous! You could hit yourself or each other with it. You could break something or make a mess. You have to return the hammer to the shed right now!"
+
+"But Mom, we want to play with the hammer!" Tom and Sam say.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She takes the hammer from them and puts it back in the shed. She locks the door.
+
+"Boys, you have many other toys to play with!" Mom says. "You have balls, cars, blocks, and books. You can use your imagination and have fun with them. They are harmless and safe. Why don't you share them and play nicely together?"
+
+Tom and Sam look at each other. They feel sorry for fighting over the hammer. They realize that Mom is right. They have many other toys to play with. They decide to share them and play nicely together.
+
+"Sorry, Tom," Sam says.
+
+"Sorry, Sam," Tom says.

+Tom and Sue were hungry. They wanted to eat pizza for lunch. But Mom said no. She said pizza was not good for them. She said they had to eat soup and salad.
+
+Tom and Sue did not like soup and salad. They made a plan. They waited until Mom went to the bathroom. Then they ran to the kitchen. They saw a pizza box on the table. It was from last night. They opened the box. There was one slice left.
+
+"Let's eat it!" Tom said.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Sue said.
+
+They both grabbed the slice. They pulled and pulled. The slice broke in half. The cheese and sauce flew everywhere. It landed on their clothes, on the floor, on the wall.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She came back to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She saw Tom and Sue with pizza in their hands. She was very angry.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked.
+
+"Uh, we were just..." Tom said.
+
+"We were hungry!" Sue said.
+
+Mom shook her head. She said they were foolish. She said they had to clean up the mess. She said they had to say sorry. She said they had to eat their soup and salad. She said they had to go to bed early.
+
+Tom and Sue felt bad. They knew they did wrong. They said sorry to Mom. They thanked her for the soup and salad. They cleaned up the mess. They ate their lunch. They went to bed early.
+
+They learned their lesson. They never tried to eat pizza without Mom's permission again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big rock that looked like a tiger. They ran to the rock and climbed on it.
+
+"Rawr! I am a tiger!" Ben said. He pretended to bite Lily's arm.
+
+"Ow! That hurts!" Lily said. She pretended to cry.
+
+Ben felt sorry. He hugged Lily and said, "I am sorry. You are my friend. I do not want to hurt you."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "It is okay. You are my friend too. I like to play with you."
+
+They looked at the rock. It had stripes and ears and a tail. It was beautiful.
+
+"Can we take the rock home?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben shook his head and said, "No, we cannot. The rock is too big and heavy. And it belongs to the park. We can come back and play with it another day."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "You are right. The rock is happy here. We can say goodbye to it and thank it for letting us play."
+
+They kissed the rock and said, "Goodbye, tiger rock. Thank you for being beautiful and fun. We will see you soon."
+
+They waved to the rock and ran to their mom. She was waiting for them with a picnic basket. They were hungry and happy. They had a good day at the park.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big hill with many flowers. They want to climb the hill and pick some flowers.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill!" Tom says.
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful. The hill is very high and steep." Lily says.
+
+They hold hands and start to climb the hill. They see yellow, red, and blue flowers. They smell the sweet and fresh air. They are very happy.
+
+But then, Tom slips and falls. He hurts his knee and it starts to bleed. He cries out loud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! My knee hurts! It hurts a lot!" Tom says.
+
+Lily runs to him and hugs him. She sees his knee and feels sorry for him.
+
+"Don't cry, Tom. It's OK. I'm here with you." Lily says.
+
+She takes a clean cloth from her pocket and covers his knee with it. She presses it gently to stop the bleeding.
+
+"There, there. It will be fine soon. The cloth will help your knee heal." Lily says.
+
+Tom stops crying and looks at Lily. He sees her kind and caring face. He feels better.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You helped me a lot." Tom says.
+
+He holds her hand and smiles.
+
+"You're welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You make me happy." Lily says.
+
+They hug each other and sit on the hill. They look at the flowers and the sky. They are fine.
+Sara liked to draw with pastels. She had many colors of pastels in her box. She liked to make pictures of flowers, animals and rainbows. She was happy when she drew.
+
+One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He saw her pastels on the table. He wanted to play with them. He did not ask Sara. He took some pastels and moved them to his room. He drew on his wall.
+
+Sara saw that some of her pastels were gone. She was upset. She looked for them. She found them in Tom's room. She saw his wall. She was very upset. She said to Tom, "You took my pastels! You made a mess on your wall! Give them back to me!"
+
+Tom did not want to give them back. He said, "No, they are mine now. I like them. Go away!"
+
+Sara and Tom started to fight. They yelled and pulled the pastels. They made more mess.
+
+Mom heard them. She came to see what was wrong. She saw the pastels, the wall and the children. She was not happy. She said, "Stop fighting! Tom, you should not take Sara's pastels without asking. Sara, you should not yell at Tom. You both need to say sorry and share the pastels. And you both need to help me clean the wall."
+
+Sara and Tom felt bad. They said sorry to each other and to Mom. They gave each other a hug. They shared the pastels and drew together. They helped Mom clean the wall. They were happy again.
+Lily liked to play with her fly. She gave it a name: Buzz. She found Buzz in the garden and put him in a jar. She made holes in the lid so he could breathe. She gave him water and sugar. She watched him fly around in the jar.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to show Buzz to her friend Max. She took the jar and went to his house. But on the way, she tripped and dropped the jar. It broke on the ground. Buzz flew out of the jar and into the air. Lily was sad and scared. She did not want to lose Buzz.
+
+She ran after Buzz and tried to catch him. But he was too fast and too high. She could not reach him. She felt frustrated. She wanted her fly back. She cried and called his name.
+
+Max heard her cry and came out of his house. He saw Lily and the broken jar. He saw Buzz flying away. He understood what happened. He wanted to help Lily. He had an idea.
+
+He ran inside his house and came back with a net. He gave it to Lily and said, "Here, use this. Maybe you can save Buzz with this." He pointed to the net and to the fly.

+Lily and her mom went to the museum. Lily liked the museum. She saw many things. She saw big bones of old animals. She saw shiny rocks and pretty paintings. She saw a big pool with fish and turtles.
+
+"Can I swim with them, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily, you can't swim with them. They live in the museum. They are not for swimming. They are for looking and learning," mom said.
+
+Lily was sad. She wanted to swim with the fish and turtles. She loved swimming. She was good at swimming. She had a swimsuit and goggles in her backpack.

+
+He tried to catch Lily with the net. Lily did not want to be caught. She swam away from the net. She thought it was a game. She laughed.
+
+The guard did not think it was a game. He was tired and grumpy. He chased Lily with the net. He said "Stop! Stop! Get out of the pool!"
+
+Lily did not stop. She did not get out of the pool. She swam faster and faster. She had fun.
+
+The guard did not have fun. He swam slower and slower. He had trouble breathing. He felt dizzy.
+
+He dropped the net. He sank to the bottom of the pool.
+
+Lily saw the guard. She saw he was not moving. She saw he was not smiling. She was scared. She realized he was not playing. She realized he needed help.

+
+"Ready, set, go!" Tim says. He swims fast. Sam swims fast too. They splash the water. They have fun.
+
+But Tim wants to win. He swims faster and faster. He does not look at Sam. He does not look at the pool. He only looks at the end.
+
+Sam looks at Tim. He sees Tim is far. He feels sad. He wants to win too. But he also wants to be safe. He looks at the pool. He sees the edge. He slows down.
+
+Tim reaches the end. He is happy. He thinks he has success. He turns around. He wants to see Sam. He wants to say "I win!"

+
+"What happened?" she asks Tim. Tim tells her. He tells her the truth. He is sad. He is not proud.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. I was bad. I only wanted to win. I did not care about you. I did not care about the pool. I was not safe. I was not smart. I was not a good friend." Tim says. He cries. He is sorry.
+
+"It's okay, Tim. I forgive you. You were not bad. You were just silly. You wanted to have success. But you forgot what is important. Swimming is fun. But swimming is also dangerous. You have to be careful. You have to look at the pool. You have to look at your friend. You have to be safe. You have to be smart. You have to be a good friend." Sam says. He smiles. He is kind.
+
+Tim and Sam hug. They are friends. They learn a lesson. They are sorry. They are happy. They are quiet.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One night, they wanted to explore the dark woods behind their houses. They asked their moms if they could go, but their moms said no. It was too late and too scary.
+
+But Lily and Tom did not listen. They decided to borrow a flashlight from Tom's dad. They sneaked out of their rooms and went to the garage. They found a big flashlight that was very bright. They thought it would be fun to use it in the woods.
+
+They ran to the woods and turned on the flashlight. They saw many trees and animals and bugs. They laughed and chased each other. They did not see the sign that said "Danger! Do not enter!"
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry. It saw the flashlight and wanted to take it. It ran towards Lily and Tom.
+
+Lily and Tom were very scared. They dropped the flashlight and tried to run away. But the bear was faster and stronger. It caught them and bit them. They screamed and cried.
+
+Their moms heard their screams and came to the woods. They saw the bear and the flashlight and their children. They were very sad and angry. They called for help, but it was too late. Lily and Tom were gone.

+
+"I like dogs. They are nice and soft," Mia says. She touches the print of the dog.
+
+"Me too. Can we take this book home?" Tom asks.
+
+Mia shakes her head. "No, Tom. This book is not ours. It is for the library. We have to give it back."
+
+Tom is sad. He likes the book. He wants to keep it. He has an idea. He whispers to Mia.
+
+"Mia, let's hide the book. We can put it in our bag. Then we can take it home. No one will know."
+
+Mia is scared. She knows that hiding the book is wrong. She does not want to make the library angry. She whispers back to Tom.
+
+"Tom, no. That is bad. We have to share the book. If we hide the book, we are not good friends. We have to be good friends."
+
+Tom and Mia look at each other. They do not know what to do. They hear a voice.
+
+"Hello, children. Do you like the book?" It is the library lady. She smiles at them.
+
+Tom and Mia are surprised. They feel guilty. They do not want to lie to the library lady. They do not want to hide the book. They want to be good friends.

+Tom and Mia are happy. They hug the library lady. They hug each other. They are good friends. They love the book. They love the prints. They love the library.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to jump in the big pile of leaves that dad had raked. The leaves were orange and red and yellow. They made a crunchy sound when they landed on them.
+
+"Look, Sara, I found a rake!" Ben said, holding up a small metal rake. "I can rake more leaves and make the pile bigger!"
+
+"Can I try?" Sara asked, reaching for the rake.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said, pulling it away. "I found it, so it belongs to me!"
+
+"That's not fair!" Sara said, feeling angry. "You have to share! It's not nice to keep things for yourself!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben said, sticking out his tongue. "You can't have it!"
+
+Sara and Ben started to argue. They did not hear dad coming until he was right behind them.
+
+"Hey, kids, what's going on?" dad asked, looking at them. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+"Ben won't let me use the rake!" Sara said, pointing at Ben. "He says it belongs to him!"
+
+"Ben, is that true?" dad asked, looking at Ben.
+
+Ben nodded, holding the rake tightly. "I found it, dad. It's mine!"
+
+Dad smiled and shook his head. "Ben, that rake doesn't belong to you. It belongs to Mr. Jones, our neighbor. He lent it to me so I could rake the leaves. We have to give it back to him when we're done."
+
+Ben's eyes widened. He felt embarrassed. He did not know that the rake was not dad's. He thought he had found a treasure.
+
+"Oh," he said, lowering the rake. "I'm sorry, dad. I didn't know."
+
+"That's okay, Ben. But you should always ask before you take something that's not yours. And you should share with your sister. She wants to play with you, not against you."
+
+Ben nodded. He looked at Sara and saw that she was still mad at him. He wanted to make her happy again.
+
+"Here, Sara," he said, handing her the rake. "You can use it. I'm sorry I was mean to you."
+
+Sara smiled and took the rake. She felt happy again. She liked to play with Ben, not against him.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," she said, hugging him. "You're a good brother."
+
+Dad smiled and hugged them both. He was proud of them. He liked to see them get along.
+
+"Come on, kids," he said. "Let's rake some more leaves and have some fun."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded and followed dad. They raked more leaves and jumped in the pile. They laughed and played and had fun. They forgot about the rake and remembered that they belonged to each other.

+
+They heard a loud noise. It was a vacuum cleaner. It was sucking up the balls and the kids. Lily and Max held hands and tried to run away. But they were too slow. The vacuum cleaner was fast. It came closer and closer.

+Lily and Ben were cold. They wanted to play outside, but it was snowing hard. They looked at the fireplace in the living room. It had no fire. Only some wood and ashes.
+
+"Can we make a fire, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, honey. We have no matches. And the wood is wet. We have to wait for Dad. He went to get some more."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad. They hugged Mom and sat on the couch. They wrapped themselves in a blanket. They rubbed their hands and feet to keep warm.
+

+
+Mom smiled. "Sure, sweetie. What kind of stories do you like?"
+
+Lily and Ben thought for a moment. They liked stories about animals and adventures.
+
+"I like stories about bears," Lily said.
+
+"I like stories about dragons," Ben said.
+
+Mom nodded. "Okay, then. How about a story about a bear and a dragon who became friends?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded too. They leaned closer to Mom. They wanted to hear the story.
+
+Mom began. "Once upon a time, there was a big brown bear who lived in a cave. He was strong and brave, but he was lonely. He had no friends. One day, he heard a loud roar from the other side of the mountain. He was curious. He decided to go and see what it was. He walked and walked until he reached a valley. There he saw a huge red dragon. He was breathing fire and smoke. He was angry and fierce, but he was also lonely. He had no friends. The bear and the dragon saw each other. They were scared. They growled and snarled. They were ready to fight. But then, something happened. The dragon sneezed. A big flame came out of his nose. It set fire to a pile of dry leaves. The fire spread quickly. It reached the bear's fur. The bear yelped. He was burning. He ran to a stream. He jumped in. He put out the fire. He was wet and hurt. He felt weak. The dragon saw what he had done. He felt sorry. He flew to the stream. He landed next to the bear. He said, 'I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you okay?' The bear looked at the dragon. He said, 'I'm okay. Thank you for asking. I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to scare you. What is your name?' The dragon said, 'My name is Blaze. What is yours?' The bear said, 'My name is Bruno. Do you want to be friends?' The dragon said, 'Yes, I do. Do you?' The bear said, 'Yes, I do too.' And so, the bear and the dragon became friends. They helped each other. They played together. They told stories. They were happy. They were not lonely anymore."
+
+Lily and Ben clapped their hands. They liked the story. They liked the bear and the dragon. They said, "Thank you, Mom. That was a good story."
+
+Mom hugged them. She said, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you liked it."
+
+They heard a car horn. They looked out the window. They saw Dad. He had a big bag of matches and a lot of dry wood. He waved at them. He said, "I'm back. Let's make a fire."
+
+Lily and Ben cheered. They ran to the door. They greeted Dad. They helped him carry the matches and the wood. They put them in the fireplace. They watched Dad light a match. He touched it to the wood. The wood caught fire. The fire grew bigger and brighter. It warmed the room. It made shadows on the wall. It crackled and popped.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They felt cozy. They said, "We love you, Mom and Dad."
+
+Mom and Dad smiled too. They felt happy. They said, "We love you too, Lily and Ben."
+
+They all sat on the couch. They wrapped themselves in the blanket. They watched the fire. They felt like a bear and a dragon. They felt like friends. They felt like a family.
+Sara loves yogurt. She likes to eat it every day for breakfast. She has a special cup with a lid and a spoon. She can shake the cup and make the yogurt smooth and creamy.
+
+One morning, Sara wakes up and runs to the kitchen. She looks for her yogurt cup in the fridge. But she cannot find it. She feels sad and hungry. Where is her yogurt?
+
+She asks her mom. Mom says, "I'm sorry, Sara. We ran out of yogurt. I forgot to buy more at the store. Do you want something else for breakfast?"
+
+Sara shakes her head. She really wants yogurt. She does not like cereal or toast or eggs. She starts to cry.
+
+Mom hugs Sara and says, "Don't worry, sweetie. I have an idea. Why don't we go to the store together and buy some yogurt? Then you can have it for breakfast. And I can also buy some fruit and cheese and juice. How does that sound?"
+
+Sara stops crying and nods. She likes to go to the store with mom. Mom is reliable. She always keeps her promises. Sara smiles and says, "Okay, mom. Let's go to the store and buy some yogurt. And maybe some strawberries too. I love strawberries."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Good. Let's go then. But first, put on your shoes and coat. It's cold outside."
+
+Sara runs to her room and puts on her shoes and coat. She grabs her yogurt cup and spoon. She is ready to go. She hopes they have her favorite flavor of yogurt at the store. She thinks it will be a good day.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the backyard. They had a big pile of lumber that their dad gave them. They used the lumber to make forts, bridges, and towers.
+
+One day, a man came to their house. He had a truck and a hat. He knocked on the door and talked to their mom.
+
+"Hello, ma'am. I'm looking for some lumber to sell. Do you have any you don't need?"
+
+Mom looked at the pile of lumber in the backyard. She thought for a moment.
+
+"Well, I suppose you can have some of it. But you have to ask my kids first. They like to play with it."
+
+She called Ben and Lily to the door. They saw the man and his truck.
+
+"Hi, kids. I'm Mr. Gray. I sell lumber to people who need it. Can I have some of your lumber? I'll give you some money for it."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They liked their lumber. They had fun with it. But they also liked money. They could buy candy, toys, or books with it.
+
+"How much money will you give us?" Ben asked.
+
+Mr. Gray smiled. He took out his wallet and showed them some bills.
+
+"I'll give you five dollars for each piece of lumber. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben and Lily counted the pieces of lumber. There were ten of them. That meant they could get fifty dollars. That was a lot of money.
+
+They nodded and agreed. They helped Mr. Gray load the lumber onto his truck. He gave them the money and thanked them.
+
+"Thank you, kids. You're very nice and helpful. Have a good day."
+
+He drove away with the lumber. Ben and Lily waved goodbye. They were happy. They had money to spend. But they also felt a little sad. They had no lumber to play with.
+
+They looked at each other and hugged.
+
+"Don't worry," Lily said. "We can still play with other things. And maybe dad will give us more lumber someday."
+
+Ben smiled.
+
+"You're right. We still have each other. And we can always make new things."
+
+They ran inside to show mom their money. They decided to save some of it and spend some of it. They had a good day.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. Sara likes the pink card with the cat. Tom likes the blue card with the dog.
+
+One day, they play a game with the cards. They take turns to show a card and say the name of the animal or the color. If the other one says it right, they get the card. If they say it wrong, they lose the card.
+
+Sara shows Tom a green card with a frog. She says, "What is this?"
+
+Tom thinks hard. He says, "It is a frog."
+
+Sara says, "Yes, you are right. You get the card."
+
+Tom is happy. He shows Sara a yellow card with a duck. He says, "What is this?"
+
+Sara looks at the card. She says, "It is a duck."
+
+Tom says, "No, you are wrong. It is a chicken."
+
+Sara says, "No, it is not. It is a duck. See, it has a beak and feathers."
+
+Tom says, "No, it is a chicken. See, it has a comb and a tail."
+
+Sara and Tom start to argue. They both want the card. They do not listen to each other. They say, "Give me the card. You are foolish."
+
+A big boy sees them. He comes over. He says, "What are you doing?"
+
+Sara and Tom say, "We are playing with cards. But he/she is foolish. He/she does not know the name of the animal."
+
+The big boy looks at the card. He says, "You are both foolish. This is not a duck or a chicken. This is a goose."
+
+Sara and Tom are surprised. They look at the card again. They see that the big boy is right. It is a goose. They feel silly. They say, "Sorry, we were foolish. We did not know."
+
+The big boy says, "It is okay. You are still learning. Do you want to play with me? I have more cards with different animals."
+
+Sara and Tom say, "Yes, please. We want to play with you. We want to learn more."
+
+They give the card to the big boy. They follow him to his pile of cards. They play together and have fun. They learn the names of many animals. They do not argue anymore. They are friends.
+Sara and Tom liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big hill with many flowers. Sara wanted to go up the hill and see the flowers. Tom was scared of the hill. He said, "No, Sara, the hill is too high. We might fall and hurt ourselves."
+
+Sara said, "Don't be scared, Tom. I will lead you. Hold my hand and follow me. It will be fun." Tom did not want to make Sara sad, so he held her hand and followed her. They walked up the hill, slowly and carefully. They saw many pretty flowers. Sara smiled and said, "See, Tom, the hill is not so bad. Look at the flowers. They are so colorful and smell so nice."
+
+Tom smiled too. He liked the flowers. He said, "You are right, Sara. The hill is not so bad. Thank you for leading me." They picked some flowers and made a crown for Sara and a necklace for Tom. They felt happy and proud.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. The dog was running towards them. It barked and growled. Sara and Tom were scared of the dog. They dropped the flowers and ran down the hill. They ran too fast and did not watch their steps. Sara tripped on a rock and fell. She scraped her knee and it hurt. She cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow, my knee, my knee."
+
+Tom heard Sara cry and stopped. He ran back to her and said, "Sara, Sara, are you okay? Let me see your knee." He saw blood on her knee and felt sorry for her. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I should have stayed with you. I should have protected you from the dog." He hugged her and said, "Don't cry, Sara. I will help you. I will take you to the nurse. She will make your knee better."
+
+Sara hugged him back and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. You are brave and kind." They got up and walked to the nurse. The dog was gone. They did not see it again. The nurse cleaned Sara's knee and put a band-aid on it. She gave them a lollipop and said, "You are very brave, Sara and Tom. You should be careful when you play on the hill. It can be dangerous. Next time, stay away from the dog. He might bite you."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, nurse. We will be careful. Thank you for helping us." They licked their lollipops and felt better. They went back to the park and played on the swing and slide. They did not go up the hill again. They learned their lesson. They were happy and safe.
+One day, a little boy named Ben went to the park with his mom. He saw many things that he liked: swings, slides, flowers, birds, and other children. He wanted to play with everything, but his mom told him to be careful and humble. She said, "You can have fun, but don't be rude or greedy. Share with others and say please and thank you."
+
+Ben nodded and ran to the swings. He saw a girl with a red dress and long hair. She was swinging very high and fast. Ben wanted to swing too, but he waited for his turn. He observed how the girl moved her legs and pushed the air. He thought she was very brave and skilled. He said, "Hello, can I swing with you?"
+
+The girl smiled and said, "Sure, you can have this swing. I'm done anyway. What's your name?"
+
+"I'm Ben. Thank you for the swing. You're very nice. What's your name?"
+
+"I'm Mia. You're welcome. You're very polite. Do you want to play something else?"
+
+Ben and Mia became friends and played together. They went to the slide, the sandbox, the seesaw, and the fountain. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They also helped each other and shared their toys and snacks.
+
+At the fountain, they saw a man with a hat and a stick. He was making bubbles with soap and water. He blew into the stick and big bubbles came out. They floated in the air and shone with different colors. Ben and Mia were amazed and ran to catch the bubbles. They popped them with their fingers and clapped their hands.
+
+The man saw them and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you like my bubbles?"
+
+"Yes, we do. They're very pretty and fun. How do you make them?" Ben asked.
+
+"It's easy. You just need some soap, some water, and some magic. Do you want to see some magic?" the man asked.
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben and Mia said.
+
+The man took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the end of his stick. He blew into it again and a flame came out. It was bright and hot and made a hissing sound. Ben and Mia gasped and stepped back. They observed the flame with curiosity and fear. They wondered how the man did that.
+
+The man said, "Don't be afraid. It's just a trick. I can make the flame go away. Watch this." He blew into the stick again and the flame disappeared. He said, "See? It's gone. It's just a game. Do you want to try?"
+
+Ben and Mia shook their heads. They said, "No, thank you. We don't want to play with fire. It's dangerous. We like your bubbles better. They're safer and nicer."
+
+The man nodded and said, "You're right. Fire can be dangerous. You should never play with it without an adult. Bubbles are safer and nicer. Here, have some more." He blew into the stick and made more bubbles for them.
+
+Ben and Mia thanked the man and played with the bubbles. They were happy and humble. They learned something new and made a new friend. They enjoyed their day at the park.
+Sara and Tom like to play on the slide at the park. They take turns to go down the slide and then run back to the ladder. One day, they see a big slide that looks very fun. It is higher and longer than the slide they usually play on. Sara wants to try it, but Tom is scared.
+
+"Come on, Tom, it will be fun!" Sara says. "Don't be a baby!"
+
+Tom does not want to be a baby, so he follows Sara to the big slide. They climb up the ladder and look down. The slide is very steep and shiny. Sara smiles and sits on the slide. She pushes herself and goes down very fast. She laughs and shouts, "Whee!"
+
+Tom sees Sara having fun and thinks maybe he can do it too. He sits on the slide and holds the sides. He is very nervous. He pushes himself and goes down. But he goes too fast and loses his grip. He slides and spins and bumps. He feels dizzy and scared. He wants to stop, but he can't.
+
+He reaches the end of the slide and falls on the ground. He hurts his knee and his elbow. He cries and cries. Sara runs to him and hugs him. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom, are you okay?"
+
+Tom says, "No, I'm not okay. I regret going on the big slide. It was too scary and I got hurt. I wish I stayed on the small slide. It was more fun and safe."
+
+Sara says, "I'm sorry, Tom, I should not have pushed you. You can play on the slide you like. Next time, I will play with you. Let's go to the nurse and get a band-aid. Then we can have some ice cream. Will that make you feel better?"
+
+Tom nods and wipes his tears. He says, "Yes, that will make me feel better. Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend."
+
+They hold hands and walk to the nurse. They take a step and then another. They are still dizzy, but they are happy. They learned a lesson. They will not go on the big slide again.
+Ben and Mia are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. Mia has a lot of orange blocks. She likes orange because it is bright and happy. Ben has a lot of round blocks. He likes round because it can roll and spin.
+
+Mia wants to make a big orange house. She needs more orange blocks. She sees some orange blocks in Ben's pile. She goes to take them. Ben does not like that. He says, "No, Mia, those are my blocks. You can't have them."
+
+Mia says, "But I need them for my house. You have too many blocks. You have to share."
+
+Ben says, "No, I don't. They are mine. I want to make a round car. Go find your own blocks."
+
+Mia and Ben start to pull and push the blocks. They are angry and loud. They do not yield. They do not listen. They do not play nice.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks and the mess and the faces. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Mia and Ben tell Mom their stories. They both want the orange blocks. They both think they are right. They both want Mom to take their side.
+
+Mom says, "I see. You both have a problem. You both want the same thing. But you can't have it all. You have to find a way to solve it. You have to yield. You have to compromise. You have to be kind."
+
+Mia and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Mia. Sorry, Ben."
+
+Mom says, "That's good. Now, how can you solve your problem? How can you share the blocks?"
+
+Mia and Ben think. They have an idea. They say, "We can make a big orange and round house. We can use both kinds of blocks. We can work together. We can have fun."
+
+Mom says, "That's a great idea. I'm proud of you. You are smart and creative and cooperative. You are good friends."
+
+Mia and Ben smile. They hug Mom. They hug each other. They go to make their big orange and round house. They are happy and quiet. They yield. They listen. They play nice.
+Tom and his little sister Amy love to ride their bikes. They have red bikes with bells and stickers. They ride in the park with Mom and Dad. They see ducks, flowers and swings.
+
+One day, Tom and Amy want to ride faster. They see a big hill and think it is fun. They ask Mom and Dad if they can go down the hill. Mom and Dad say no, it is too steep and dangerous. They tell them to stay on the path.
+
+But Tom and Amy do not listen. They wait until Mom and Dad are not looking and ride to the hill. They are excited and scared. They push their bikes to the top and get ready to go down.
+
+"Are you ready, Amy?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, Tom, let's go!" Amy says.
+
+They ring their bells and start to ride down the hill. They go very fast and feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and shout.
+
+But then, something bad happens. Tom sees a big rock on the road. He tries to avoid it, but he loses his balance. He falls off his bike and hurts his knee. He cries and calls for Mom and Dad.
+
+Amy sees Tom fall and gets scared. She tries to stop her bike, but she does not know how. She keeps going faster and faster. She sees a big tree in front of her. She screams and closes her eyes.
+
+She hits the tree and falls off her bike. She hurts her head and her arm. She bleeds and does not move. She does not cry or call for anyone.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise and run to the hill. They see Tom and Amy on the ground. They are very worried and angry. They call for help and take them to the hospital.
+
+Tom and Amy are in trouble. They have to stay in the hospital for a long time. They have to wear bandages and take medicine. They cannot ride their bikes anymore. They are very sorry and sad. They wish they had listened to Mom and Dad.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. There is a big pond in the park. The pond has ducks and fish. Anna and Ben like to feed the ducks and watch the fish.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom. They bring some bread for the ducks. They see a big duck with a green head. He is the leader of the ducks. He swims to Anna and Ben and quacks. They give him some bread. He is happy. He splashes his wings in the water.
+
+"Look, he is saying thank you!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, he is very nice!" Ben says.
+
+They give some bread to the other ducks too. They are all happy. They all splash in the water.
+
+But there is one duck who is not happy. He is hidden behind a bush. He is small and brown. He is shy. He does not like the big duck. He thinks the big duck is mean. He wants some bread too. But he is afraid to come out.
+
+He waits until Anna and Ben are not looking. He sneaks out of the bush. He swims to the bread. He tries to grab a piece. But the big duck sees him. He is angry. He chases him away. He quacks loudly.
+
+"Hey, that is my bread!" he says.
+
+The small duck is scared. He runs back to the bush. He is sad. He is hungry.
+
+Anna and Ben hear the noise. They turn around. They see the small duck. They see his sad eyes.
+
+"Who is that?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know. He looks sad," Ben says.
+
+They walk to the bush. They call the small duck.
+
+"Hello, little duck. Do you want some bread?" Anna says.
+
+"Don't be afraid. We are nice," Ben says.
+
+The small duck hears them. He is curious. He peeks out of the bush. He sees their smiles. He feels their kindness. He comes out of the bush. He waddles to them. He quacks softly.
+
+"Hello, little duck. We are Anna and Ben. What is your name?" Anna says.
+
+The small duck does not have a name. He does not know how to answer. He quacks again.
+
+"That's okay. We can give you a name. How about...Brownie?" Ben says.
+
+The small duck likes the name. He nods. He quacks happily.
+
+"Brownie, do you want some bread?" Anna says.
+
+She gives him a piece of bread. He takes it. He eats it. He is happy. He is full.
+
+He looks at Anna and Ben. He likes them. He wants to be their friend. He splashes his wings in the water.
+
+Anna and Ben laugh. They splash their hands in the water. They play with Brownie. They are happy. They are friends.
+
+The big duck sees them. He is jealous. He quacks loudly. He tries to scare them away. But Anna and Ben are not afraid. They ignore him. They have fun with Brownie.
+
+They stay in the park until the sun goes down. They say goodbye to Brownie. They promise to come back soon. They hug him. He hugs them back. He quacks softly.
+
+"Bye, Brownie. We love you," Anna says.
+
+"Bye, Brownie. See you soon," Ben says.
+
+They walk to their mom. She is waiting for them. She smiles. She sees their wet clothes. She sees their happy faces.
+
+"Did you have fun?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, mom. We had fun. We made a new friend. His name is Brownie. He is a duck. He is very nice. He likes bread. He likes to splash. He likes us. We like him. He is our friend," Anna and Ben say.
+
+They tell their mom everything. She listens. She is happy. She is proud. She hugs them.
+
+"That's wonderful, my loves. I'm glad you made a new friend. He sounds very special. Maybe we can visit him again tomorrow," she says.
+
+"Yay! Thank you, mom. We love you," Anna and Ben say.
+
+They go home. They take a bath. They put on their pajamas. They brush their teeth. They go to bed. They close their eyes. They dream of Brownie. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big oak tree in the park. The oak tree has many leaves and acorns.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom find a squirrel under the oak tree. The squirrel is holding an acorn in its mouth. It looks at Lily and Tom with its bright eyes.
+
+"Hello, squirrel!" Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The squirrel nods and drops the acorn. It runs up the oak tree and down again. It is very fast and nimble.
+
+"Wow, you are good at climbing!" Tom says. "Can you teach us how to climb the oak tree?"
+
+The squirrel nods again and shows them how to use their hands and feet to grip the bark and branches. Lily and Tom try to follow the squirrel, but they are not as good. They slip and slide and fall on the grass.
+
+"Ouch!" Lily says. "This is hard!"
+
+"Oof!" Tom says. "This is fun!"
+
+The squirrel laughs and jumps on their heads. It tickles them with its tail. Lily and Tom laugh too. They think the squirrel is silly and cute.

+They play with the squirrel until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the squirrel and thank it for teaching them how to climb the oak tree. The squirrel waves and gives them each an acorn. Lily and Tom smile and hug the squirrel. They are happy to have a new friend.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the snow. They put on warm hats and coats and boots. They go outside and see a lot of snow. The snow is white and soft and cold.
+
+Anna and Ben make a big snowman. They use a carrot for his nose and buttons for his eyes. They give him a scarf and a hat. They say hello to the snowman. He does not say anything. He just smiles.
+
+Anna and Ben want to have more fun. They look for sticks and stones. They find some and make snowballs. They throw the snowballs at each other. They laugh and run and hide.
+
+Anna sees a snowball on the ground. She picks it up and throws it at Ben. But she misses. The snowball hits the snowman. The snowman's hat falls off. Anna and Ben are surprised.
+
+They run to the snowman. They say sorry to him. They put his hat back on. They give him a hug. They poke his nose and his eyes. They say he is their friend. The snowman still does not say anything. But he still smiles.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They had many toys, but they liked the same one best. It was a big weapon that made loud noises and flashed lights. They both wanted to hold it and shoot it.
+
+"Give me the weapon!" Lily said. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben said. "I found it first!"
+
+They pulled and pushed, but neither of them would let go. They started to cry and shout.
+
+A man came over and saw them. He was wearing a soft hat and a badge. He was a police officer. He smiled and said, "Hello, children. What is the problem?"
+
+They told him about the weapon and how they both wanted it. He nodded and said, "I see. Well, this weapon is not a toy. It is a real weapon that I use for my job. It is not safe for you to play with it. You could hurt yourself or someone else."
+
+Lily and Ben looked surprised and scared. They did not know it was a real weapon. They let go of it and said, "Sorry, sir."
+
+The police officer said, "It's okay. I'm glad you are sorry. But you know, there is a better way to play with toys. You can share them. Sharing means you take turns and let each other have a chance. Sharing is kind and fun. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, please."
+
+The police officer gave them a soft ball and a soft doll. He said, "Here, you can play with these. They are soft and safe. You can share them and have fun together. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "Yes, we can. Thank you, sir."
+
+They took the ball and the doll and went to a bench. They shared them and played nicely. They laughed and hugged. They were happy. They learned to share.
+Tom and Anna liked to play at the pond. They liked to watch the ducks and the geese swim and quack. One day, they saw a big white goose with a red bow around its neck. The goose looked very pretty and friendly.
+
+"Hello, goose," Tom said. "Can we pet you?"
+
+The goose nodded and came closer. Tom and Anna gently stroked its feathers. The goose seemed to like it. It made a happy sound.
+
+"Can we play with your bow?" Anna asked. "It is very nice."
+
+The goose shook its head. It did not want to share its bow. It was a gift from its owner, who lived in a house near the pond. The goose was very proud of its bow.
+
+"Please, goose," Anna said. "We will be very careful. We just want to try it on for a little while. We will give it back to you."
+
+The goose thought for a moment. It liked Tom and Anna. They were polite and kind. Maybe it could lend them its bow for a short time. It nodded and let Anna take its bow.
+
+"Thank you, goose," Anna said. She put the bow on her head. She looked very pretty. Tom smiled and clapped.
+
+The goose watched them play with its bow. It felt happy to have new friends. It hoped they would come back to the pond again. It decided to share some of its bread with them. It was a good day for the goose.
+Anna 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 wanted to make him smile, but they did not have anything to use for his mouth.
+
+"Look, I have a needle!" Ben said. He found it in his pocket. He had used it to sew a button on his coat. "We can use it to make a mouth for the snowman."
+
+"No, Ben, don't do that!" Anna said. "The needle is sharp. It can hurt you. And it can hurt the snowman too. He will not like it."
+
+"But I want to make him happy," Ben said. He did not mind Anna. He took the needle and tried to poke it into the snowman's face.
+
+"Ouch!" the snowman said. He was alive! He felt the icy needle in his cheek. He did not like it at all. He shook his head and the needle fell out. He looked at Ben with a frown.
+
+"Sorry, Mr. Snowman," Ben said. He was scared. He did not know the snowman could talk. He dropped the needle and ran away.
+
+Anna picked up the needle and put it back in her pocket. She said sorry to the snowman too. She made a mouth for him with some twigs. She gave him a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Thank you, Anna," the snowman said. He smiled. He liked Anna. He did not like Ben. He did not like needles. He liked twigs. He liked hugs and kisses. He was happy.
+Sara likes to feel things with her hands. She likes to touch soft things, like her teddy bear and her blanket. She also likes to touch hard things, like her blocks and her spoon. One day, she finds a new thing to touch in the kitchen. It is a bean.
+
+The bean is small and round and green. Sara picks it up and feels it. It is smooth and firm and a little wet. She wonders what it tastes like. She puts it in her mouth and bites it. It is mild and sweet and crunchy. She likes it. She takes another bean and eats it.
+
+Mama sees Sara eating the beans. She smiles and says, "Do you like the beans, Sara?" Sara nods and says, "Yes, Mama. Beans are good. Can I have more?" Mama says, "Of course, Sara. You can have more beans. They are good for you. They make you strong and healthy." She gives Sara a bowl of beans and a spoon.
+
+Sara is happy. She eats the beans with her spoon. She feels them in her mouth and in her tummy. She feels full and warm and satisfied. She says, "Thank you, Mama. I love you and I love beans."

+Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and balls and blocks. They shared their toys and helped each other. They always nodded when they agreed on something.
+
+One day, Tom saw a new toy in the store. It was a big red truck with lights and sounds. He wanted it very much. He asked his mom to buy it for him, but she said no. She said they had to save money for other things. Tom was sad and angry.
+
+He went to Sam's house to play. He saw that Sam had a new toy too. It was a blue train with tracks and bridges. Sam was very happy. He said his dad gave it to him for being good. He asked Tom if he wanted to play with it. Tom nodded, but he was not really happy. He was jealous.
+
+He waited until Sam was not looking. Then he grabbed the train and ran away. He did not care if Sam was sad. He only wanted the train for himself. He thought it would make him happy.
+
+But he was wrong. When he got home, he played with the train for a while. But he soon got bored. He missed Sam. He missed their games and laughs and nods. He felt empty in his heart. He realized he had done a bad thing. He had hurt his friend and himself.
+
+He decided to say sorry to Sam. He took the train and went back to Sam's house. He knocked on the door. Sam opened it. He looked surprised and angry. He did not want to see Tom.
+
+Tom said, "Sam, I am sorry. I was wrong. I took your train because I was jealous. But I did not have fun with it. I missed you. You are my best friend. Please forgive me. Here is your train. I don't want it. I want you."
+
+Sam looked at Tom. He saw that Tom was sad and sorry. He remembered that Tom was his best friend too. He felt sorry for him. He nodded and smiled. He said, "Tom, I forgive you. I was mad at you. But I missed you too. You are my best friend. Thank you for bringing back my train. I don't need it. I need you."
+
+They hugged and went inside. They played with their cars and balls and blocks. They shared their toys and helped each other. They nodded when they agreed on something. They were happy in their hearts. They learned that toys are not as important as friends.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds like vroom and beep when they move the cars.
+
+One day, Ben has a new car. It is red and shiny. It has a cap on the back. Ben says, "Look, Sam, this is my new car. It can speed very fast. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Sam nods. He takes the car from Ben. He pushes it on the floor. The car speeds across the room. Sam smiles. He likes the car. He says, "Wow, Ben, this is a cool car. It is very fast. Can I keep it?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. He wants his car back. He says, "No, Sam, this is my car. You can play with it, but you have to give it back to me. It is mine."
+
+Sam frowns. He does not want to give the car back. He says, "But I like it, Ben. It is more fun than my cars. Please, let me have it."
+
+Ben and Sam start to argue. They raise their voices. They pull the car from each other. They are not friends anymore.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to the room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Boys, what are you doing? Why are you yelling and grabbing? You are supposed to share and be nice. You are making too much noise. You have to be quiet."
+
+Ben and Sam stop. They look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were fighting over the car. We both wanted it."
+
+Mom says, "I see. But you know, fighting is not the way to solve problems. You have to talk and listen and take turns. You have to respect each other's things. You have to be friends. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Sam nod. They understand. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will not fight again."
+
+Mom says, "That's good. Now, why don't you play together nicely? You can both enjoy the car. You can speed it and put the cap on and off. You can have fun. But you have to be quiet. OK?"
+
+Ben and Sam say, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom." They hug Mom. They hug each other. They are friends again. They play with the car. They are quiet. They are happy.
+Lily was a persistent girl. She always wanted to know what was inside the refrigerator. She liked to open the door and look at the food and drinks. Sometimes she took out a yogurt or a juice and ate or drank it. But her mom and dad did not like that. They said she had to ask first and not waste food.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big cake in the refrigerator. It had white frosting and colorful sprinkles. It looked very yummy. Lily wanted to taste it. She thought it was for her. She opened the door and reached for the cake. But then she heard her mom's voice.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing?" her mom asked.
+
+"I want to eat the cake, mom. It is for me, right?" Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily, it is not for you. It is for your grandma. She is coming to visit us today. It is her birthday. We made the cake for her. You have to wait until we sing happy birthday and cut the cake. Then you can have a piece. OK?" her mom explained.
+
+Lily felt sad. She really wanted the cake. She did not believe her mom. She thought her mom was lying. She thought her mom wanted the cake for herself. She did not want to share. She was angry.
+
+"No, mom, it is not OK. It is my cake. I saw it first. You are mean. You are a liar. I want the cake now!" Lily shouted.
+
+She tried to grab the cake again. But her mom was faster. She took the cake out of the refrigerator and put it on the table. She closed the door and locked it. She looked at Lily with a stern face.
+
+"Lily, that is enough. You are being very rude and selfish. You have to apologize to me and to grandma. You have to learn to share and be patient. You have to believe me when I tell you the truth. Do you understand?" her mom said.
+
+Lily did not understand. She did not want to apologize. She did not want to share. She did not want to be patient. She did not want to believe. She only wanted the cake. She started to cry and scream. She threw a tantrum.
+
+Her mom sighed. She picked up Lily and carried her to her room. She put her on her bed and gave her a hug.
+
+"Lily, I love you. But you have to calm down. You have to listen to me. You have to be a good girl. You have to say sorry. You have to be nice to grandma. You have to wait for the cake. You have to believe me. Can you do that?" her mom asked.
+
+Lily stopped crying and screaming. She looked at her mom. She saw her mom's eyes and smile. She felt her mom's hug and kiss. She felt sorry. She felt love. She nodded.
+
+"OK, mom. I can do that. I am sorry. I love you. I will be a good girl. I will be nice to grandma. I will wait for the cake. I will believe you." Lily said.
+
+Her mom smiled. She hugged and kissed her again.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. I am proud of you. You are a good girl. I love you too. Now, let's go and see grandma. She is waiting for us. She will be happy to see you. And she will be happy to share the cake with you. Come on." her mom said.
+
+She took Lily's hand and led her to the living room. There they saw grandma. She was sitting on the couch. She had a big smile. She had a present for Lily. She had a hug and a kiss for Lily. She had a piece of cake for Lily.

+
+"What can we do?" Tom asks.
+
+The truck man says, "See that gray box over there? It has some napkins and spoons. Can you bring it to me?"
+
+Tom and Sue nod. They go to the gray box. They lift it together. It is heavy. They carry it to the truck.

+"Hello," Ben says. "Can we borrow some of your blocks? We want to make a tower too."

+The girl looks up from her book. She smiles.
+
+"Sure, you can," she says. "But you have to be careful. These are my special blocks. They have letters and numbers on them. They help me learn and use my brain."
+
+"Your brain?" Sam asks. "What is that?"
+
+The girl points to her head.
+
+"It's inside here," she says. "It's what makes you think and remember and imagine. Everyone has a brain, but some people use it more than others."
+
+"Wow, that's cool," Ben says. "Can we use your brain too?"
+
+The girl laughs.
+
+"No, you can't," she says. "But you can use your own brain. It's very good too. You just have to practice and try new things. Here, I'll show you how to make a tower with my blocks. You have to match the letters and numbers and make patterns. It's fun and hard at the same time."
+
+Ben and Sam nod. They are curious and excited. They follow the girl to the tower of blocks. She lends them some of her blocks and teaches them how to use them. They have a lot of fun and learn new things. They make their own tower, but not as high as the first one. They are proud of their work.
+
+"Thank you for lending us your blocks and showing us how to use them," Ben says.
+
+"Yes, thank you," Sam says. "You are very smart and kind."
+
+The girl smiles.
+
+"You're welcome," she says. "You are very nice and brave. I'm glad we are friends. Do you want to read my book with me?"

+The man said he would give them a big bag of candy if they said yes. Tom and Lily loved candy, and they thought the man was nice. They said yes, and the man gave them the candy and a paper to sign. He said he would come back later to take their backyard.

+
+"I am making lunch for us. This is a grill. It makes the food hot and tasty," dad says.
+
+"Can we help you, dad?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, you can. You can be my useful helpers. You can watch the grill and tell me if you see any smoke. Smoke means the food is burning. We don't want that," dad says.
+

+
+Anna laughed. "That's fun! Let me try!" She took the mop from Ben and did the same thing. They both got wet and giggled.
+
+But then the wind blew. It was cold and made them shiver. Anna and Ben stopped laughing. They felt cold and wet.
+
+"Let's go inside," Anna said. "We need to get warm and dry."
+
+They ran to the house. Their mom was waiting for them. She saw their wet clothes and hair.
+
+"What have you been doing?" she asked.
+
+"We were playing with the mop and the water," Ben said.
+
+"That sounds like fun, but you should have worn your coats. You must be freezing!" mom said.
+
+She took them to the bathroom. She gave them towels and helped them change into dry clothes. She also gave them hot chocolate to drink.
+
+"That's better," Anna said. She felt warm and cozy.
+
+"Yes, it is," Ben said. He sipped his chocolate.

+Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big box of cards. They like to make pictures with the cards. They have red cards, blue cards, yellow cards and green cards.
+
+Anna picks up a green card. She holds it up to the sun. The card shines. It makes a bright light on the grass. Anna says, "Look, Ben! My card is shining! It is like a star!"
+
+Ben looks at Anna's card. He likes the shiny light. He says, "Wow, Anna! Your card is very pretty! Can I have a green card too?"
+
+Anna nods. She gives Ben a green card. Ben holds it up to the sun. His card shines too. He makes a bright light on the fence. Ben says, "Look, Anna! My card is shining too! It is like a flashlight!"
+
+Anna and Ben laugh. They have fun with their green cards. They make shiny lights on the flowers, the trees, the rocks and the house. They pretend they are magic. They say, "Shine, shine, green cards! Make the garden bright!"
+Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with blocks and books. They pretended to drive their cars to different places.
+
+One day, they decided to play near the cliff. The cliff was a big rock that was high and steep. They could see the sea and the sky from the cliff. They thought it was fun to make their cars go fast and jump off the cliff. They laughed and cheered as their cars flew in the air and landed on the sand.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Ben's favorite car, a red one with a shiny hood, hit a sharp stone on the cliff. The car broke into two pieces. Ben was very sad. He cried and picked up the broken car. He said, "My car is ruined. I can't play with it anymore."
+
+Mia felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Don't cry, Ben. Maybe we can repair your car. Let's go home and ask Mom for some glue. Maybe she can help us fix it."
+
+Ben nodded and wiped his tears. He said, "Okay, let's go. But we have to be careful. The cliff is dangerous. We don't want to fall off."
+
+They held hands and walked back to their house. They hoped that Mom could repair Ben's car. They learned that playing near the cliff was not so fun after all. It was boring and risky. They decided to play somewhere else next time.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a sign that said "Ice Cream". They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream.
+
+"What flavor do you want?" the man in the truck said.
+
+"I want chocolate!" Ben said.
+
+"I want strawberry!" Lily said.
+
+The man gave them each a cone with ice cream. Ben and Lily licked their ice cream and smiled.
+
+"This tastes yummy!" Ben said.
+
+"This tastes sweet!" Lily said.
+
+They walked to a bench and sat down. They saw a dog running towards them. The dog was big and black and had sharp teeth. The dog looked fierce.
+
+"Roof! Roof!" the dog barked.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped their ice cream and hugged each other.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted.
+
+"Leave us alone, dog!" Lily cried.
+
+The dog saw their ice cream on the ground. He sniffed it and licked it. He did not like it.
+
+"Blech!" the dog spat.
+
+He ran away from the ice cream. He did not want it.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at their ice cream. It was dirty and melted. They had zero ice cream left.
+
+They were sad and angry.
+
+"Bad dog!" Ben said.
+
+"Mean dog!" Lily said.
+
+They went back to the truck and told the man what happened. The man felt sorry for them. He gave them new ice cream.
+
+"Here you go, kids. Don't let the dog get it this time." the man said.
+
+"Thank you, mister!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+They took their new ice cream and went to another bench. They ate their ice cream and were happy.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big pile of wood near the swings. They wanted to build a fort with the wood.
+
+"Let's take some wood and make a fort!" Tim said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be quick. The wood is not ours. It is for the workers," Sam said.
+
+They took some wood and carried it to a corner of the park. They stacked the wood and made a fort. They were very happy. They pretended to be soldiers and pirates in their fort.
+
+But then, they heard a loud voice. It was the worker who owned the wood. He was angry.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my wood? That is for the new slide. Give it back right now!" he shouted.
+
+Tim and Sam were scared. They ran out of their fort and dropped the wood. They said sorry to the worker. They felt ashamed. They had done something bad.
+
+The worker was still angry, but he saw that they were sorry. He said, "Don't ever touch my wood again. It is not for playing. It is for building. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Sam nodded. They said sorry again. They ran to their moms and hugged them. They learned a lesson. They would not take things that were not theirs. They would grow to be good boys.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toy sheep in the garden. They liked to pretend that they were farmers and that the sheep were their woolly friends. They gave them names like Fluffy, Snowy and Spot.
+
+But then it started to rain. Big drops of water fell from the sky and made the ground wet and muddy. Lila and Ben ran inside the house, but they forgot to take their toy sheep with them.
+
+"Oh no, our sheep!" Lila cried when she looked out of the window. "They are getting soaked!"
+
+"We have to save them!" Ben said. "They will be cold and filthy!"
+
+They put on their raincoats and boots and ran outside. They picked up their toy sheep and brought them inside. They were dripping with water and covered with dirt.
+
+"Look at them, they are so dirty!" Lila said. "We have to wash them!"
+
+They filled a big tub with warm water and soap. They put their toy sheep in the tub and rubbed them gently. They rinsed them and squeezed them. They wrapped them in a towel and dried them.
+
+"There, they are clean and fluffy again!" Ben said. "They look like new!"
+
+"They do!" Lila agreed. "But we have to be more careful next time. We don't want them to get soaked again!"
+
+They hugged their toy sheep and put them in a basket. They thanked them for being their woolly friends and said good night. They went to bed and dreamed of sunny days in the garden.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big shiny crown on a bench. Sara wanted to wear the crown. She ran to the bench and put the crown on her head.
+
+"Look, Tom, I am a queen!" Sara said.
+
+Tom did not like that. He wanted to wear the crown too. He ran to Sara and tried to take the crown from her.
+
+"No, Tom, it is mine!" Sara said. She was stubborn. She did not want to share.
+
+They pulled and pushed and fought over the crown. They did not watch where they were going. They bumped into a man who was walking his dog. The man was angry. He grabbed the crown from Sara and Tom.
+
+"Hey, this is my crown! I lost it yesterday. You are naughty children. Go away!" The man said.
+
+He put the crown on his head and walked away with his dog. Sara and Tom were sad and sorry. They had no crown and no fun. They learned a hard lesson. They should have been nice and shared.
+Sara and Ben like to travel. They have a big car with four wheels and a roof. They put their bags and toys in the car and go to different places. Sometimes they go to the park, sometimes they go to the zoo, sometimes they go to the beach.
+
+One day, they go to the farm. They see many animals there. They see cows, pigs, sheep, horses, chickens and ducks. They want to pet them and feed them. They ask their mom and dad if they can.
+
+"Sure, you can," mom says. "But you have to be very quiet and gentle. The animals are shy and scared of loud noises. And you have to listen to the judge. He is the man who takes care of the animals. He knows what they like and what they don't like."
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They follow mom and dad to the judge. He is wearing a hat and boots. He smiles and says hello.
+
+"Hello, judge," Sara and Ben say.
+
+"Hello, kids," the judge says. "Do you want to see the animals?"
+
+"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say.
+
+"OK, then. Come with me. I'll show you around. But remember, be quiet and gentle."
+
+The judge takes them to the cow pen. He gives them some hay and tells them how to feed the cows. Sara and Ben are very quiet and gentle. They stroke the cows' soft fur and watch them chew the hay. The cows moo softly and lick their hands.
+
+"Good job, kids," the judge says. "The cows like you. Do you want to see the pigs next?"
+
+"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say.
+
+The judge takes them to the pig pen. He gives them some corn and tells them how to feed the pigs. Sara and Ben are very quiet and gentle. They scratch the pigs' ears and watch them snort and wiggle. The pigs oink happily and nuzzle their feet.
+
+"Good job, kids," the judge says. "The pigs like you. Do you want to see the sheep next?"
+
+"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say.
+
+The judge takes them to the sheep pen. He gives them some grass and tells them how to feed the sheep. Sara and Ben are very quiet and gentle. They pat the sheep's woolly backs and watch them bleat and jump. The sheep baa softly and follow them around.
+
+"Good job, kids," the judge says. "The sheep like you. Do you want to see the horses next?"
+
+"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say.
+
+The judge takes them to the horse stable. He gives them some carrots and tells them how to feed the horses. Sara and Ben are very quiet and gentle. They brush the horses' manes and tails and watch them neigh and trot. The horses whinny softly and let them ride on their backs.
+
+"Good job, kids," the judge says. "The horses like you. Do you want to see the chickens and ducks next?"
+
+"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say.
+
+The judge takes them to the chicken coop and the duck pond. He gives them some seeds and tells them how to feed the chickens and ducks. Sara and Ben are very quiet and gentle. They toss the seeds to the chickens and ducks and watch them peck and quack. The chickens cluck softly and lay eggs. The ducks splash softly and swim.
+
+"Good job, kids," the judge says. "The chickens and ducks like you. You are very good with animals. You know what? I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?"
+
+"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say.
+
+The judge takes them to a small barn. He opens the door and says, "Look inside."
+
+Sara and Ben look inside. They see a big basket with a blanket. They hear a soft noise. They lift the blanket and see a baby goat. It is white and brown and has horns and a beard. It looks at them with big eyes and makes a cute sound.
+
+"Wow," Sara and Ben say.
+
+"This is my new baby goat," the judge says. "He was born yesterday. He is very special. He needs a lot of love and care. Do you want to hold him?"
+
+"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say.
+
+The judge picks up the baby goat and gives him to Sara and Ben. They hold him gently and cuddle him. The baby goat nuzzles their faces and makes a happy sound.
+
+"He likes you," the judge says. "You are very quiet and gentle. You are very good with animals. You know what? I have another surprise for you. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+"Yes, please," Sara and Ben say.
+
+The judge smiles and says, "You can name him. He is your new friend. What do you want to call him?"
+Lily and Max were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to go outside and have fun, but it was too hot and sunny.
+
+"Can we play with the hose, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom was busy in the kitchen. She sighed. "Not now, sweetie. I have to finish cooking. Maybe later, okay?"
+
+Lily and Max were sad. They looked out the window and saw the hose lying on the grass. It looked so cool and wet. They wished they could spray each other and make rainbows.
+
+"Let's sneak out and play with the hose," Max whispered. "Mom won't notice. She's too busy."
+
+Lily nodded. She liked Max's idea. They put on their hats and shoes and tiptoed to the door. They were very quiet. They opened the door and ran to the hose.
+
+Max turned on the tap and grabbed the hose. He sprayed Lily with a big jet of water. Lily squealed and laughed. She grabbed the other end of the hose and sprayed Max back. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the heat and the sun.
+
+But they did not forget about Mom. Mom heard the noise and looked out the window. She saw Lily and Max playing with the hose. She was not happy. She turned off the stove and went outside.
+
+"Lily and Max, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "You know you're not supposed to play with the hose without asking me. You're wasting water and making a mess."
+
+Lily and Max stopped playing. They looked at Mom. They knew they were in trouble. They dropped the hose and hung their heads.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom," they said. "We were bored and hot. We just wanted to have fun."
+
+Mom sighed again. She was not very angry. She understood how they felt. She remembered when she was a kid and played with the hose too.
+
+"It's okay, kids," she said. "But next time, please ask me first. And don't play too long. Water is precious and we have to save it. Now, come inside and dry off. I have a surprise for you."
+
+Lily and Max followed Mom inside. They wondered what the surprise was. They hoped it was something good. They smiled at each other. They were still wet and happy.
+Lily and Ben were going to the store with Mom. They wanted to buy some candy and toys. Mom gave them each a coin to put in their pocket. She said, "Be careful with your money. Don't lose it or drop it."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and put their coins in their pockets. They were very happy and excited. They ran to the store and looked at all the things they could buy. Lily saw a pink lollipop and Ben saw a blue car. They picked up their things and went to the counter.
+
+But when they reached for their pockets, they had a problem. Lily's pocket had a hole and her coin was gone. Ben's pocket was too big and his coin fell out. They looked around and saw their coins on the floor. But before they could get them, a big dog came and took them in his mouth. He ran away with the coins.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They cried and shouted, "Give us back our money! That's not fair!" Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the dog and the coins and understood what happened. She hugged Lily and Ben and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. That was a bad dog. He shouldn't have done that. But don't worry, I have some more coins for you. You can still buy your candy and toys. But next time, be more careful with your pockets. Maybe you can hold your coins in your hand or put them in a safer place."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and thanked Mom. They took the new coins and bought their candy and toys. They were very happy and grateful. They learned their lesson and were more careful with their pockets. They enjoyed their treats and played with their toys. They had a good day at the store.
+Lily and Tom were bored. They had no toys to play with. They only had a dull book with no pictures. They wanted to have fun.
+
+They saw a big box in the corner of the room. It was full of supplies for the kitchen. They opened the box and found many things inside. They found a lime, a knife, a spoon, a bowl, a cup, and a bag of sugar.
+
+"Let's make lime juice!" Lily said. She took the lime and the knife. She cut the lime in half. She squeezed the lime over the bowl. She poured some water and some sugar into the bowl. She stirred with the spoon.
+
+"Can I have some?" Tom asked. He took the cup and filled it with lime juice. He took a sip. He made a funny face. "It's too sour!" he said.
+
+Lily laughed. She took the cup from Tom. She drank some lime juice. She liked it. "It's good!" she said. "Do you want more?"
+
+Tom shook his head. He did not want more. He looked at the box. He saw something else. He took it out. It was a red ball. It was shiny and bouncy.
+
+"Let's play with the ball!" Tom said. He threw the ball to Lily. Lily caught the ball. She threw it back to Tom. They played with the ball. They had fun. They forgot about the dull book. They were happy.
+Tom was playing in the garden. He liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. He saw a tiny black thing moving on the ground. He bent down to see it better. It was an ant.
+
+"Hello, ant," Tom said. "What are you doing?"
+
+The ant stopped and looked at Tom. It waved its antennae. It said, "I am looking for food. I am hungry."
+
+"Food? What do you eat?" Tom asked.
+
+"I eat crumbs and seeds and sugar. Do you have any?" the ant said.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He remembered he had a cookie in his pocket. He took it out and broke a small piece. He put it near the ant.
+
+"Here, you can have this. It is sweet and yummy," Tom said.
+
+The ant was very happy. It ran to the cookie and took a bite. It said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. This is delicious."
+
+Tom smiled. He liked the ant. It was lively and friendly. He said, "You are welcome, ant. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The ant nodded. It said, "Yes, Tom. I want to be your friend. We can play and talk and share."
+
+Tom and the ant became friends. They played in the garden and learned from each other. They had fun and helped each other. They were happy to meet.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They were having fun, but they were also hungry. They wanted a snack.
+
+"Mom, can we have a snack?" Ben asked.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. I'm busy making dinner. You can have a snack later," Mom said.
+
+"But we're hungry now!" Lily whined.
+
+"Me too!" Ben agreed.
+
+They looked at each other and had an idea. They sneaked into the kitchen and saw a big bowl of cookies on the counter. They reached for the cookies, but Mom saw them.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "Those cookies are for dessert. You can't have them now. You'll spoil your appetite."
+
+"But we need a snack, Mom!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+"No, you don't. You need to wait for dinner. It's almost ready. Go back to the living room and play nicely," Mom said.
+
+She took the bowl of cookies and put it in a high cabinet. Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They thought Mom was bad. They went back to the living room and pouted.
+
+They didn't want to play anymore. They wanted a snack. They waited for a long time, but dinner didn't come. They wondered if Mom forgot about them.
+
+They decided to try again. They sneaked into the kitchen and looked for the cookies. They couldn't see them. They looked around and saw a bag of chips on the table. They grabbed the bag and ran to the living room.
+
+They opened the bag and started to eat the chips. They were crunchy and salty. They liked them. They felt happy.
+
+But then Mom came into the living room and saw them. She was not happy. She was very angry.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "Those chips are not for you. They're for Dad. He's coming home soon. You're not supposed to eat them. You're supposed to eat dinner. You're very naughty!"
+
+She took the bag of chips and threw it in the trash. Ben and Lily were sad and angry again. They thought Mom was very bad. They started to cry.
+
+Mom felt sorry for them. She realized she was too harsh. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. I didn't mean to yell at you. I know you're hungry, but you have to wait for dinner. It's good for you. It has meat and vegetables and rice. You'll like it. And you can have a cookie for dessert. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben and Lily sniffed and nodded. They felt better. They thought Mom was good. They said, "OK, Mom. We'll wait for dinner. We love you."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I love you too. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. Dinner is ready. Let's eat."
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy animals on the rug. They liked to pretend they were farmers and take care of the cows, sheep, pigs and chickens. They made noises like the animals and moved them around the rug.
+
+"Look, Ben, this cow is hungry. She needs some grass," Lily said, holding a brown cow.
+
+"OK, Lily, I will get some grass for her. You stay here with the other animals," Ben said, holding a green cloth. He ran to the other side of the room and came back with the cloth. He put it on the rug and said, "Here you go, cow. Eat some grass and be happy."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and watched the cow eat the grass. They were cheerful and having fun.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from outside. It sounded like a big truck. They paused and looked at each other.
+
+"What is that, Lily?" Ben asked, feeling scared.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Let's go and see," Lily said, feeling curious.
+
+They got up and ran to the window. They saw a big truck with a farmer inside. The farmer was wearing a hat and a plaid shirt. He waved at them and smiled.
+
+"Hello, kids. I'm Farmer Joe. I'm here to deliver some hay for your real animals. Do you have any real animals?" the farmer asked.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and pointed to the backyard. They had a dog, a cat and a rabbit. They liked to play with them too.
+
+"Wow, you have some nice pets. Do you want to help me unload the hay?" the farmer asked.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded again and ran to the door. They wanted to help the farmer and see the hay. They liked to learn new things.
+
+They followed the farmer to the truck and helped him carry the hay to the backyard. They put the hay in a pile and gave some to their pets. The pets liked the hay and nibbled on it.
+
+"Thank you, kids. You are very helpful and kind. I hope you enjoy your hay and your pets. Have a good day," the farmer said, giving them a hug.
+
+"Thank you, Farmer Joe. You are very nice and friendly. We like your truck and your hay. Have a good day too," Lily and Ben said, giving him a wave.
+
+The farmer got in his truck and drove away. Lily and Ben went back to the rug and continued playing with their toy animals. They were cheerful and happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. But Ben wanted to play with Lily's red car, and Lily did not want to share.
+
+"Give me the red car!" Ben said.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily said.
+
+Ben was angry. He reached out and pinched Lily's arm hard. Lily cried out and dropped the red car. Ben grabbed it and ran away.
+
+Lily ran after him, tears in her eyes. She saw Ben trying to hide behind the sofa. She jumped on him and tried to get the red car back. They both pulled and tugged and shouted.
+
+"Stop it, stop it!" their mom said. She came into the room and saw the mess. There were toy cars everywhere, some broken and some scratched. She saw the red car in Ben's hand and the pinch mark on Lily's arm.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asked. "You have made a wreck of your toys and hurt each other. That is very foolish!"
+
+She took the red car from Ben and gave it back to Lily. She made them say sorry to each other and hug. She told them to clean up the toys and play nicely.
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad. They knew they had been foolish. They said sorry to their mom and helped her pick up the toys. They decided to share the red car and play together. They learned that pinching and fighting was not fun.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they did not like to share. They always wanted the same toy or the same spot.
+
+One day, they saw a big rock in the grass. It was shiny and smooth. They both wanted the rock. They ran to the rock and tried to grab it. They pulled and pushed and shouted.
+
+"Mine!" said Tom.
+
+"No, mine!" said Lily.
+
+They did not see the dog that was watching them. The dog was big and brown. He liked to play too. He thought the rock was a ball. He wanted the ball.
+
+He ran to the rock and bit it. He lifted it with his teeth and ran away. He wagged his tail and barked.
+
+Tom and Lily were shocked. They let go of the rock and watched the dog. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Hey, that's our rock!" said Tom.
+
+"Give it back!" said Lily.
+
+But the dog did not listen. He ignored them. He was happy with his new and original toy. He ran to the other side of the park and played with the rock.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad and silly. They had lost the rock because they did not share. They looked at each other and sighed.
+
+"Maybe we should play together," said Tom.
+
+"Maybe we should find another rock," said Lily.
+
+They nodded and smiled. They held hands and walked to the sandbox. They decided to be friends and share. They did not need the rock anymore. They had each other.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a bird on a tree. The bird was brown and small. It had a red spot on its head.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Tom said. "I want to see it closer."
+
+He ran to the tree and tried to climb it. Mia followed him.
+
+"Be careful, Tom!" Mia said. "The bird might be nervous. It might fly away."
+
+Tom did not listen. He climbed higher and higher. He reached the branch where the bird was. He stretched his hand to touch it.
+
+The bird was nervous. It did not like Tom. It made a loud noise and flew away. Tom was surprised. He lost his balance and fell down.
+
+"Ouch!" Tom said. He hurt his arm and his leg. He started to cry.
+
+Mia ran to him and hugged him. She helped him get up.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Mia said. "Are you okay?"
+
+Tom nodded. He was still crying. He looked at his arm and his leg. They had scratches and bruises.
+
+"I'm okay," Tom said. "But I'm sorry, too. I scared the bird. I should have been more gentle."
+
+Mia smiled. She took Tom's hand and walked with him to their mom. Their mom was sitting on a bench. She had a bag with snacks and water.
+
+"Mom, mom!" Mia said. "Tom fell from the tree. He was trying to see a bird. But the bird was nervous and flew away."
+
+Mom looked at Tom. She saw his arm and his leg. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"Oh, Tom," Mom said. "You poor thing. Come here. Let me see your arm and your leg. I have some band-aids and some cream. They will make you feel better."
+
+She took Tom in her arms and kissed him. She opened the bag and took out the band-aids and the cream. She cleaned his arm and his leg and put the band-aids and the cream on them.
+
+"There," Mom said. "Now you're all set. How do you feel?"
+
+Tom felt better. He stopped crying. He smiled at Mom.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Tom said. "I feel better. But I'm sorry I scared the bird. I won't do it again."
+
+Mom hugged him. She smiled at him.
+
+"That's okay, Tom," Mom said. "You learned your lesson. Next time, you can watch the bird from a distance. Or you can talk to it softly. Maybe it will come to you. Birds are beautiful and smart. But they are also nervous and shy. You have to respect them and be kind to them."
+
+Tom nodded. He understood. He looked at Mia. Mia nodded, too. She understood.
+
+"Can we have some snacks and water, Mom?" Mia asked.
+
+"Of course, you can," Mom said. "You must be hungry and thirsty. Here, have some cookies and juice. They are yummy."
+
+She gave them some cookies and juice. They ate and drank. They felt happy.
+
+They looked at the tree. They saw another bird on another branch. It was yellow and big. It had a blue tail.
+
+"Look, another bird!" Tom said. "It's so pretty."
+
+He pointed at the bird. He did not run to the tree. He did not try to climb it. He stayed on the ground. He talked to the bird softly.
+
+"Hello, bird," Tom said. "You are so pretty. What is your name? Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The bird looked at Tom. It was not nervous. It was curious. It made a soft noise and flew closer. It landed on the bench next to Mom. It looked at Tom and Mia.
+
+"Hello, bird," Mia said. "You are so pretty. We are Tom and Mia. We want to be your friends."
+
+The bird made another soft noise. It tilted its head and blinked its eyes. It seemed to like Tom and Mia.
+
+Mom smiled. She was proud of Tom and Mia. They were gentle and respectful. They made a new friend.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom are playing with their toy animals. They have a big elephant, a small mouse, a yellow duck and a green frog. They want to know how heavy each animal is.
+
+"Let's weigh them!" Lily says. She finds a scale in the kitchen and brings it to the living room. "You put one animal on this side, and I put one on the other side. Then we see which side goes down."
+
+"OK!" Tom says. He puts the elephant on one side of the scale. Lily puts the mouse on the other side. The scale goes down on the elephant's side. "The elephant is heavier than the mouse!" Tom says.
+
+"Let's try another one!" Lily says. She puts the duck on the same side as the mouse. Tom puts the frog on the same side as the elephant. The scale stays balanced. "The duck and the mouse weigh the same as the frog and the elephant!" Lily says.
+
+"Wow!" Tom says. He picks up the frog and looks at it. "The frog is green. I like green. Do you like green, frog?"
+
+The frog does not answer. It is hungry. It sees a fly buzzing near the window. It sticks out its tongue and catches the fly. It eats the fly.
+
+"Hey, the frog ate the fly!" Tom says. He laughs. "The frog was hungry. Are you hungry, Lily?"
+
+"Yes, I am hungry!" Lily says. She smells something good from the kitchen. "Mom is making cookies. Let's go and get some!"
+
+"OK!" Tom says. He puts the frog back on the scale. "Bye, frog. Enjoy your fly!"
+
+They run to the kitchen and get some cookies. They share them with their toy animals. They are happy.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a wallet on the bench. It is wet and dirty.
+
+"Look, a wallet!" Tim says. "Maybe it has money inside."
+
+"Let's open it and see," Sam says. They open the wallet and find some cards and papers, but no money.
+
+"Who do you think this wallet belongs to?" Tim asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone lost it in the rain," Sam says.
+
+"Maybe we should give it back," Tim says.
+
+"But how? We don't know who it is," Sam says.
+
+They look at the cards and papers. They see a name and a picture.
+
+"Maybe this is the person who owns the wallet," Tim says. He points to the picture.
+
+"Can you read the name?" Sam asks.
+
+Tim tries to read the name, but it is too hard. He only knows some letters.
+
+"I can't read it. It has too many letters," Tim says.
+
+"Me neither. Let's guess," Sam says.
+
+They guess different names, but none of them sound right.
+
+"Maybe we should ask someone for help," Tim says.
+
+"Good idea. Let's find a grown-up," Sam says.
+
+They look around the park and see a lady walking a dog. They run to her and show her the wallet.
+
+"Excuse me, miss. Can you help us?" Tim says.
+
+"Sure, what is it?" the lady says.
+
+"We found this wallet on the bench. It is wet and dirty. We don't know who it belongs to. Can you read the name?" Sam says.
+
+The lady takes the wallet and looks at the cards and papers. She smiles.
+
+"Wow, you boys are very lucky. This wallet belongs to a famous singer. His name is Jack Jones. He was performing at the concert hall last night. He must have dropped his wallet on his way out. He must be very worried," the lady says.
+
+"Wow, a famous singer? That's cool," Tim says.
+
+"Can we meet him?" Sam asks.
+
+"Maybe. I know where he is staying. He is at the hotel across the street. Maybe we can return his wallet and say hello," the lady says.
+
+"Really? That would be awesome," Tim says.
+
+"Let's go then. Come on, boys. And bring your dog too," the lady says.
+
+They follow the lady to the hotel. They go to the front desk and ask for Jack Jones. The lady shows the wallet and explains what happened. The clerk calls Jack Jones and tells him to come down. Soon, they see a man walking towards them. He has a big smile and a guitar.
+
+"Hi, I'm Jack Jones. Are you the ones who found my wallet?" he says.
+
+"Yes, we are. We found it on the bench in the park. It was wet and dirty. We are sorry," Tim says.
+
+"Don't be sorry. You are very kind and honest. Thank you so much for returning it. You saved me a lot of trouble. You are my heroes," Jack Jones says.
+
+He hugs them and gives them each a high-five. He also gives them his autograph and a picture. He invites them to his next concert and says he will sing a song for them.
+
+"Wow, thank you, Mr. Jones. You are very nice and cool. We like your music," Sam says.
+

+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, Anna has a new bowl. It is pink and shiny. It has a picture of a unicorn on it. Anna loves her new bowl.
+
+Ben sees Anna's bowl. He wants it. He is jealous. He thinks Anna has a better bowl than him. He says to Anna, "Can I have your bowl? It is so pretty. My bowl is old and boring."
+
+Anna says, "No, Ben. This is my bowl. My grandma gave it to me. It is special. You have your own bowl. You can use it."
+
+Ben is angry. He does not listen to Anna. He grabs her bowl and runs away. Anna is sad. She cries. She misses her bowl.
+
+Ben runs to his house. He puts Anna's bowl on his table. He thinks he is happy. But he is not. He feels bad. He knows he did something wrong. He hurt Anna's feelings. He does not have fun with her bowl. He misses Anna.
+
+He decides to say sorry. He takes Anna's bowl and goes back to her house. He knocks on the door. Anna opens it. She is surprised. She sees Ben and her bowl.
+
+Ben says, "Anna, I am sorry. I was jealous of your bowl. I was mean to you. I took your bowl without asking. That was not nice. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends again?"
+
+Anna smiles. She is happy. She says, "Ben, thank you for bringing back my bowl. I am glad you are sorry. I forgive you. We can be friends again. But next time, please ask before you take something. And remember, it is not what you have, but who you are that matters."
+
+Ben nods. He agrees. He says, "You are right, Anna. It is not what you have, but who you are that matters. You are a good friend. And I like you for who you are, not for what you have."
+
+They hug. They are friends again. They go to play with toys and eat snacks. They share their bowls. They are happy.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big post with a sign on it. The sign said "Do not climb". Tom wanted to climb the post. He thought it would be fun. Lily said "No, Tom. The sign says no. It is not safe. You can fall and hurt yourself."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran to the post and started to climb. He went up and up and up. He reached the top of the post. He felt very proud. He looked around and saw the trees and the birds and the sky. He waved to Lily. Lily waved back. She was worried.
+
+Then Tom felt something strange. He felt dizzy. His head was spinning. He lost his balance. He screamed. He fell from the post. He landed on the grass. He was not hurt, but he was scared and sad. He cried.
+
+Lily ran to Tom. She hugged him. She said "It's okay, Tom. I'm here. You are brave, but you are also silly. You should not climb the post. You should listen to the sign. And to me. I am your friend. I want you to be safe and happy."
+
+Tom nodded. He said "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I was silly. I will not climb the post again. I will listen to you. You are my friend. You are smart and kind. Thank you for helping me."
+
+They smiled. They hugged. They went back to playing. They had fun. They were happy.
+Tom was a gray cat who liked to play with water. He had a spray bottle that he found in the garden. He liked to spray water on the flowers, the bugs, and sometimes on his friends.
+
+One day, he saw a big dog sleeping under a tree. Tom thought it would be fun to spray water on the dog and make him wet. He sneaked up to the dog and sprayed water on his nose. The dog woke up with a loud bark and chased Tom away.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Tom cried. He ran as fast as he could, but the dog was faster. The dog caught Tom by his tail and shook him hard. Tom felt scared and hurt.
+
+"Let me go, let me go, please!" Tom begged. The dog looked at Tom and said, "Why did you spray water on me? That was not nice. You made me angry and cold."
+
+Tom said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to play. I didn't mean to make you angry and cold. Please forgive me."
+
+The dog said, "You should not play with water like that. Water is for drinking and washing, not for spraying. And you should not bother others who are sleeping or resting. That is rude and mean. You should be kind and respectful."
+
+Tom said, "You are right, you are right. I was wrong and silly. I will not do it again. I will be kind and respectful. Please let me go."
+
+The dog said, "OK, I will let you go. But remember what I said. And say sorry to your friends if you sprayed water on them too."
+
+Tom said, "I will, I will. Thank you for letting me go. And I'm sorry for spraying water on you."
+
+The dog said, "You're welcome. And I'm sorry for shaking you hard. I hope you are not hurt."
+
+Tom said, "I'm OK, I'm OK. Goodbye, dog."
+
+The dog said, "Goodbye, cat."
+
+Tom ran back to his home and told his friends what happened. He said sorry to them and gave them his spray bottle. He said he did not want to play with water anymore. He learned his lesson. He learned to be kind and respectful.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used water from the sink. The sink was big and shiny and had a tap that made water come out.
+
+One day, Ben had a new idea. He wanted to make a cake. He saw a box of cake mix on the shelf. He pointed to it and said, "Lily, look! We can make a cake with this!" Lily was enthusiastic. She loved cake. She said, "Yes, let's make a cake! It will be so good!"
+
+They took the box of cake mix and opened it. They poured it into a big bowl. They saw that they needed eggs and oil and water. They looked around the kitchen. They found eggs in the fridge and oil in the cupboard. They took them and added them to the bowl. They mixed everything with a big spoon.
+
+They needed water too. Ben said, "I'll get the water from the sink." He took a cup and went to the sink. He turned on the tap. Water came out. He filled the cup with water. He was happy. He turned to Lily and said, "I have the water!"
+
+But he was not careful. He spilled some water on the floor. He slipped on the water. He dropped the cup. The water and the cup went flying. They landed on the cake mix. The cake mix splashed everywhere. It got on Ben and Lily and the pots and pans and the spoons and bowls. It also got on the walls and the floor and the ceiling.
+
+Ben and Lily were shocked. They looked at the mess. They looked at each other. They were covered in cake mix. They started to laugh. They thought it was funny. They said, "We made a cake!"

+
+One day, they found a big ball of yarn in their mom's closet. It was white and soft and shiny. They wanted to play with it, but they did not ask their mom. They took the ball of yarn and ran to their room.
+
+They started to make a long rope with the yarn. They wrapped the yarn around and around and around. They made the rope very long and very thick. They thought it was fun.
+
+But then, they heard their mom coming. They were scared. They knew they did something bad. They tried to hide the rope, but it was too big. They put it under the bed, but it stuck out. They put it in the closet, but it filled it up. They put it on the shelf, but it fell down.
+
+Their mom opened the door and saw the mess. She was angry. She saw the ball of yarn and the rope. She said, "Lila and Ben, what did you do? You took my yarn without asking. You made a big mess. You wasted my yarn. You were naughty."
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to play with the yarn. We did not think. We did not know it was your yarn. We will clean up the mess. We will not do it again."
+
+Their mom said, "I am glad you are sorry, but you should have asked me first. The yarn was not for playing. It was for knitting. I was going to make a sweater for grandma. Now I have to buy more yarn. You should be careful with other people's things. You should respect them."
+
+Lila and Ben learned their lesson. They helped their mom clean up the mess. They gave her a hug and said, "We love you, mom. We are sorry. We will respect your things. We will ask you before we take something."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I love you, too. I forgive you. But next time, please ask me first. And if you want to play with yarn, I can give you some of my old yarn. You can make something nice with it."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. We will be good."
+
+The end.

+"Can we watch a cartoon at your house?" Lily asked Sam.
+
+"Sorry, Lily. My TV is too small. We can't see the cartoon well," Sam said.
+
+Lily felt sad. She really wanted to watch a cartoon. She thought for a moment. Then she had an idea.
+
+"I know! Let's go to Ben's house. He has a big TV. Maybe he will let us watch a cartoon with him," Lily said.
+
+Sam nodded. He liked Ben. Ben was generous. He always shared his toys and snacks with them.
+
+They ran to Ben's house and knocked on the door. Ben opened the door and smiled.
+
+"Hi, Lily and Sam. Do you want to play with me?" Ben asked.
+
+"Hi, Ben. We want to watch a cartoon. Can we watch a cartoon on your TV?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can. Come in. I have a new cartoon DVD. It's very funny. You will like it," Ben said.

+
+"Look, a new shape!" Tom says. "What is it?"
+
+"I don't know," Sue says. "Maybe it is a circle with bumps."
+
+They try to put the hexagon in the circle hole. It does not fit. It is too big.
+
+"Maybe it is a square with bumps," Tom says.
+
+They try to put the hexagon in the square hole. It does not fit. It is too tight.

+
+Ben hears Lily. He thinks about what she says. He does not want to lose his friend. He knows sharing is important. He decides to be kind.
+

+
+"Mom, I'm hot. Dad, I'm bored. Can we go home?" he said.
+
+His mom and dad looked at him and smiled. They knew he was not feeling well. They decided to make him feel better.

+Lily and Ben were very sad. They cried and asked for their balloon back. The clown saw what happened. He was not happy. He was angry. He ran after the boy and shouted.
+
+"Hey, you! Stop! That's not your balloon! That's their balloon! Give it back!" the clown said.
+
+But the boy did not listen. He was careless. He did not look where he was going. He ran into a pole and popped the balloon. It made a loud noise. The boy was scared and dropped the balloon. He ran away and hid.
+
+The clown picked up the balloon. It was broken. He was sorry. He walked back to Lily and Ben. He apologized and gave them a hug.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. I tried to get your balloon back, but it was too late. It was a careless boy who took it. He was not nice. He was mean. He should not demand things that are not his. He should share and be kind. Do you forgive me?" the clown said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They forgave the clown. They knew it was not his fault. They liked the clown. He was nice. He was funny. He tried to help them. He gave them another balloon. It was yellow and green and had a heart on it. It was very pretty.

+
+One day, a big boy came and saw them bounce the ball. He wanted the ball for himself. He ran to Sam and Mia and said, "Give me the ball. It is mine now." He grabbed the ball from Mia's hands and pushed her to the ground. Sam tried to get the ball back, but the big boy was too strong. He kicked Sam in the leg and ran away with the ball.
+
+Sam and Mia were hurt and sad. They cried and hugged each other. They did not have the ball anymore. They did not want to bounce anything anymore. They went home and told their mom what happened. Their mom was angry and sorry. She said, "That big boy was very mean and rude. He should not take your ball. He should say sorry and give it back. Maybe we can find him and get the ball back."
+
+But they did not find the big boy or the ball. The big boy kept the ball and bounced it by himself. He did not share it with anyone. He did not care if he hurt anyone. He was a bitter player. He was not happy. He was alone.

+"Where are we going?" Lily asks.
+
+"We are going to grandma's house. It is safer there. The hurricane can break our house and the trees and the boats," dad says.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They hug their toys and look out the window. They see the wind and the rain and the waves. They see people and animals running away. They see things flying in the air.
+
+"Will we be okay?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, we will. We are flexible. We can change and adapt to different situations. We can be brave and strong and help each other," mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They hold hands and smile. They are flexible. They can face the hurricane. They hope their house and their friends will be okay too. They hope the storm will go away soon. They hope to see the sun and the sea again.
+Tommy was sad. He missed his mom. She went to work and he stayed with grandma. Grandma was nice, but he wanted his mom.
+
+Grandma saw Tommy crying. She came to him and said, "What is wrong, Tommy? Do you need something?" Tommy shook his head. He just wanted his mom.
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "I know you miss your mom. She loves you very much. She will come back soon. Do you want to seat with me and read a book?" Tommy nodded. He liked books. Grandma took him to the couch and picked a book with animals. She opened the book and said, "Look, Tommy, this is a lion. He is big and strong. He roars like this: roar!"
+
+Tommy laughed. He liked the lion. He tried to roar too. Grandma said, "You are a good lion, Tommy. And this is a lamb. She is small and soft. She bleats like this: baa!" Tommy touched the picture of the lamb. He liked the lamb. He tried to bleat too. Grandma said, "You are a sweet lamb, Tommy. And this is a dog. He is loyal and friendly. He barks like this: woof!"
+
+Tommy smiled. He liked the dog. He had a dog at home. He tried to bark too. Grandma said, "You are a smart dog, Tommy. And this is a cat. She is graceful and curious. She meows like this: meow!" Tommy looked at the cat. He liked the cat. He tried to meow too. Grandma said, "You are a cute cat, Tommy. And this is a bear. He is big and furry. He hugs like this: hug!" Grandma closed the book and gave Tommy a big hug. Tommy hugged her back. He liked the hug. He felt warm and safe. Grandma said, "You are a wonderful bear, Tommy. And you are my grandson. I love you very much. You make me happy." Tommy looked at grandma. He saw her kind eyes and her compassionate smile. He said, "I love you too, grandma. You make me happy too." Grandma kissed his cheek and said, "Let's read another book, okay?" Tommy nodded. He was happy. He still missed his mom, but he knew she would come back soon. And he had grandma, who was nice and fun and loved him very much. He was a lucky boy.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they found a shiny ring on the grass. Lily picked it up and put it on her finger.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have a ring!" she said.
+
+"Wow, it is pretty!" Tom said. "Where did you get it?"
+
+"I found it here. Maybe someone lost it," Lily said.
+
+"Or maybe it is a marriage ring," Tom said. "Do you know what marriage is?"
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, what is it?"
+
+Tom shrugged. "I don't know either. But I heard my mom and dad say it. They said marriage is when two people love each other and live together and wear rings."
+
+Lily smiled. "That sounds nice. Do you love me, Tom?"
+
+Tom nodded. "Yes, I do. You are my best friend."
+
+Lily hugged him. "Then let's pretend we are married. We can share the ring and play together every day."
+
+Tom agreed. They put the ring on Tom's finger and held hands. They walked to the swings and played happily.
+
+They did not see the gloomy man who was looking for his ring. He had lost it when he was running away from his angry wife. He had done something bad and she wanted to end their marriage. He was sad and scared. He wished he had a friend like Lily or Tom.
+Ben likes to play with his drum. He has a blue drum that makes loud sounds. He likes to hit the drum with his sticks and sing songs. He plays with his drum every day.
+
+One day, Ben's mom tells him to stop playing with his drum. She says, "Ben, it is time for nap. You need to rest. Put away your drum and come to your bed." Ben does not want to stop playing. He says, "No, mom, I want to play more. I like my drum. It is fun."
+
+Ben's mom is not happy. She says, "Ben, you have to listen to me. You are making too much noise. You will wake up your baby sister. She is sleeping in the next room. You have to be quiet and take a nap." Ben does not care. He says, "No, mom, I don't want to nap. I want to play with my drum. It is my drum. I can make noise."
+
+Ben's mom is very angry. She says, "Ben, that is enough. You are being naughty. You are not obeying me. You are not being a good brother. If you don't stop playing with your drum, I will take it away from you." Ben does not believe her. He says, "No, mom, you can't take my drum. It is mine. You can't have it."
+
+Ben's mom is very serious. She says, "Ben, I am counting to three. If you don't put away your drum and come to your bed, I will take it away. One, two, three." Ben still does not listen. He hits his drum harder and louder. He says, "No, mom, no, mom, no, mom."
+
+Ben's mom is very sad. She says, "Ben, you have left me no choice. You have been very bad. You have not listened to me. You have not respected me. You have not cared about your sister. You have lost your drum." She takes away his drum and puts it in the closet. She says, "You can't play with your drum until you say sorry and behave better. Now, go to your bed and take a nap." Ben is very shocked. He says, "Mom, no, please, no. Give me back my drum. I love my drum. I need my drum. I am sorry, mom. I will be good, mom. Please, mom."
+
+But it is too late. Ben's mom does not listen to him. She says, "You should have thought about that before. You have to learn your lesson. You have to face the consequences. You have to wait until tomorrow. Maybe then you will be more careful and more kind." She leaves him in his room and closes the door. Ben is very sad. He cries and cries. He misses his drum. He wishes he had listened to his mom. He wishes he had been a good boy. He wishes he had a blue drum.
+Sara and Ben were eager to play outside. They saw the sun and the flowers from the window. They asked their mom if they could go.
+
+Mom said, "Not now, my loves. I have to finish some work. But I promise I will take you to the park later. Just be good and wait for me."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They tried to be good. They played with their toys and read some books. But they were bored. They wanted to go outside.
+
+They looked at the window again. They saw a big red ball in the yard. It looked fun. They wanted to play with it.
+
+They forgot their mom's promise. They opened the window and climbed out. They ran to the ball. They did not see the car coming.
+
+The car hit them. They fell down. They were hurt. They cried.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She ran outside. She saw Sara and Ben on the ground. She was scared. She called for help.
+
+She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. I'm sorry. I promised to take you to the park. I should have watched you. I love you."
+
+But it was too late. Sara and Ben did not hear her. They did not wake up. They were gone.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their train set. They have many cars and tracks and bridges. They make a big loop on the floor and put the train on it. The train goes choo-choo and moves fast.
+
+One day, they have a new friend, Sam, who comes to play. Sam likes the train too, but he wants to do something else. He picks up a car and throws it across the room. It hits the wall and makes a loud bang.
+
+"Hey, don't do that!" Lily says. "You will break the train!"
+
+"I don't care," Sam says. "It's boring. I want to scatter the train and make a mess."
+
+Ben gets angry. He runs to Sam and tries to take the car from him. They start to fight and pull and push. The train falls off the track and the cars scatter everywhere. Some of them break and some of them roll under the sofa.
+
+Lily cries. She loves the train and doesn't want it to be ruined. She runs to her mom and tells her what happened. Her mom comes to the room and sees the mess.
+
+"Sam, what did you do?" her mom asks. "Why did you scatter the train and make Lily and Ben sad?"
+
+Sam looks down. He feels bad. He didn't mean to hurt the train or his friends. He just wanted to have fun.
+
+"I'm sorry," he says. "I was silly. I didn't know the train was thin and fragile. Can we fix it?"
+
+Lily and Ben stop crying. They see that Sam is sorry and wants to help. They nod and smile.
+
+"Okay," they say. "Let's fix the train and play nicely."
+
+They work together and find the pieces of the train. They glue them back and put them on the track. The train goes choo-choo again and moves slowly.
+
+They take turns to drive the train and make it go over the bridges and under the tunnels. They have fun and laugh. They are friends again.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to swim in the pool. They have a big yellow ball to play with. They throw the ball to each other and laugh.
+
+One day, a big dog comes to the pool. The dog is angry. He barks and runs to the ball. He bites the ball and pops it. The ball is gone. Ben and Lily are sad.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Ben shouts at the dog. "Give it back!"
+
+The dog growls and shakes his head. He does not want to give the ball back. He jumps into the pool and swims away with the ball.
+
+Ben and Lily are scared. They swim to the edge of the pool and get out. They run to their mom and dad.
+
+"Mom, dad, help!" Lily cries. "A big dog took our ball and swam away!"
+
+Mom and dad look at the pool. They see the dog with the ball in his mouth. They are angry too.
+
+"Bad dog!" dad yells. "Drop the ball!"
+
+The dog hears dad and drops the ball. He swims to the other side of the pool and gets out. He runs away.
+
+Mom and dad get the ball and give it to Ben and Lily. They hug them and say sorry.
+
+"It's okay, kids," mom says. "The dog was mean, but he did not hurt you. You are safe."
+
+Ben and Lily smile. They are happy. They have their ball and their life. They thank mom and dad and go back to the pool. They swim and play and laugh. They forget about the dog.
+Tommy loved to watch cartoons on TV. He liked the funny animals and the bright colors. He wanted to draw cartoons like the ones he saw. He had a big paper and some crayons.
+
+"Look, Mommy, I draw a cat!" he said, showing his picture to his mother. His cat had a big head, a long tail and two dots for eyes.
+
+"That's incredible, Tommy!" his mother said, smiling. "You are very good at drawing. Do you want to draw more?"
+
+"Yes, Mommy, I want to draw more!" Tommy said, excited. He picked up a blue crayon and started to draw a fish next to the cat.
+
+"Wow, that's a nice fish, Tommy!" his mother said, encouraging him. "What else can you draw?"
+
+Tommy thought for a moment. He wanted to draw something new and different. He looked at the TV and saw a cartoon about a superhero. He had an idea.
+
+"I draw a superhero, Mommy!" he said, grabbing a red crayon. He drew a big S on the chest of a man with a cape and a mask.
+
+"That's amazing, Tommy!" his mother said, proud. "You have a great imagination. What is the name of your superhero?"
+
+Tommy thought hard. He wanted to give his superhero a cool name. He remembered the sound of the letter S.
+
+"His name is Super-S, Mommy!" he said, happy. "He can fly and save people!"
+
+"That's a wonderful name, Tommy!" his mother said, hugging him. "You are a super artist!"
+Tom and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, and blocks. But they also make a big mess. Toys are everywhere on the floor, on the couch, and on the table.
+
+"Tom, Mia, it's time to clean up!" Mom says from the kitchen. "We have guests coming soon and the living room needs to be tidy."
+
+Tom and Mia groan. They don't want to stop playing. They want to keep having fun.
+
+"Can we clean later, Mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, you have to clean now. It won't take long if you work together. And you can use the laser to help you." Mom says.
+
+The laser is a special tool that Mom got for them. It is a small, shiny, red thing that makes a beep sound when you press a button. It can pick up toys and put them in a box with a beam of light. Tom and Mia think the laser is cool and fun.
+
+"Okay, Mom, we will use the laser." Mia says.
+
+Tom and Mia start to clean up with the laser. They take turns pressing the button and watching the toys fly into the box. They giggle and cheer as they see the floor getting clear.
+
+But then, something goes wrong. Tom wants to use the laser more than Mia. He grabs it from her hand and presses the button too hard. The laser makes a loud noise and shoots a big beam of light. The beam hits the window and breaks it. Glass shatters everywhere.
+
+"Tom, what did you do?" Mia screams.
+
+"Oops, I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to." Tom says.
+
+Mom hears the noise and runs to the living room. She sees the broken window, the glass, and the laser in Tom's hand. She is angry and scared.
+
+"Tom, Mia, what happened here?" Mom asks.
+
+Tom and Mia look at each other. They don't know what to say. They feel bad and scared too.
+
+They wish they had listened to Mom and cleaned up nicely. They wish they had shared the laser and used it carefully. They wish they had not broken the window and made a bigger mess.
+Lila liked pink. She had a pink dress, a pink hat, a pink bike and a pink doll. She loved her pink doll the most. She named her doll Rose and played with her every day.
+
+One day, Lila's brother Sam was bored. He saw Lila's pink doll on the couch and decided to play with it. He pulled its hair, twisted its arms and legs, and threw it on the floor. He did not care that he was hurting the doll.
+
+Lila came back from the kitchen and saw her pink doll on the floor. She was very sad and angry. She picked up her doll and saw that it was broken. Its hair was falling out, its arms and legs were loose, and its face was dirty. She cried and ran to her mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, look what Sam did to my pink doll! He broke it! He broke Rose! Can you fix it, mom? Please, please, fix it!" Lila begged.
+
+Mom looked at the pink doll and shook her head. She hugged Lila and said, "I'm sorry, Lila, but I can't fix it. It's too broken. Sometimes, things can't be fixed, even if we want to. That's life, Lila. That's life."
+
+Lila did not understand. She did not want to hear that. She wanted her pink doll back. She wanted Rose back. She sobbed and screamed, "No, no, no! That's not life! That's not fair! I hate Sam! I hate life! I hate everything!"
+
+Lila threw her pink doll on the ground and ran to her room. She slammed the door and cried on her bed. She did not want to play with anything else. She did not want to talk to anyone else. She did not want to be happy ever again. She only wanted her pink doll. She only wanted Rose. But Rose was gone. And Lila's life was broken.
+Anna and Ben are at the park with their mom. They see an enormous slide that they want to try. They run to the slide and wait for their turn.
+
+"Can I go first?" Anna requests to Ben.
+
+"No, I want to go first!" Ben says.
+
+They start to argue and push each other. Their mom sees them and calls them.
+
+"Anna, Ben, stop fighting! Come here and sit on the bench with me!" she says.
+
+They walk to the bench and sit down. Their mom talks to them.
+
+"You both want to have fun, right? But you can't have fun if you are mean to each other. You need to share and take turns. How about you go to the slide together and help each other climb up and slide down?" she suggests.
+
+Anna and Ben think about it and nod. They say sorry to each other and hug. They go back to the slide and hold hands. They climb up and slide down, laughing and smiling. They have fun and make new friends. Their mom watches them and smiles too.
+Lily was a princess who lived in a big castle. She had many toys and dresses and books, but she was not happy. She was lazy and spoiled. She never helped her parents or said thank you. She always wanted more and more.
+
+One day, a fairy came to visit Lily. She saw how Lily acted and was very sad. She said to Lily, "You are a very lucky princess, but you do not appreciate what you have. You are selfish and rude. You need to learn a lesson."
+
+Lily did not listen to the fairy. She said, "Go away, fairy. You are boring and mean. I do not need your lesson. I have everything I want."
+
+The fairy shook her head and said, "You will see, princess. You will see." Then she waved her wand and disappeared.
+
+The next morning, Lily woke up and saw that all her toys and dresses and books were gone. She ran to her parents and cried, "Where are my things? Where are my things?"
+
+Her parents looked at her and said, "We do not know, Lily. Maybe the fairy took them away. Maybe she wanted to teach you something."
+
+Lily was very angry and scared. She realized that she had been very bad and that she had lost everything. She wished she had listened to the fairy and been a good princess. She said, "I am sorry, mommy and daddy. I am sorry, fairy. Please bring back my things. I will be nice and helpful and grateful. I will not be lazy and spoiled anymore."
+
+But it was too late. The fairy did not come back. Lily had to learn to live without her things and to be happy with what she had. She had to work hard and be kind and say thank you. She had to be a good princess.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play and dance together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Me first!" Sara says. She climbs up the ladder and slides down. "Whee!"
+
+"Me too!" Tom says. He follows Sara and slides down. "Yay!"
+
+They slide again and again. They have fun. But then, Sara feels something in her tummy. She is hungry.
+
+"Mom, can I have a snack?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, honey. Let me get it from the bag," Sara's mom says.
+
+Tom hears Sara and he feels hungry too.
+
+"Mom, can I have a snack too?" Tom asks.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. Here you go," Tom's mom says.
+
+She gives Tom a banana and Sara a cookie. They sit on a bench and eat their snacks.
+
+"Can we dance after we eat?" Sara asks Tom.
+
+"Okay," Tom says.
+
+But then, he sees something on Sara's cookie. It is a chocolate chip. He likes chocolate chips. He wants Sara's cookie.
+
+"Can I have a bite of your cookie?" Tom asks Sara.
+
+"No, it's mine," Sara says.
+
+"Please, just a little bite," Tom says.
+
+"No, go away," Sara says.
+
+She moves away from Tom. Tom feels angry. He tries to grab Sara's cookie. Sara holds it tight. They pull and tug. The cookie breaks. It falls on the ground. Some birds come and eat it.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Sara cries.
+
+"Look what you did!" Tom shouts.
+
+They are both sad and mad. They don't want to play or dance anymore. They turn away from each other.
+
+Their moms see them and come to them.
+
+"What's wrong, kids?" Sara's mom asks.
+
+"Tom wanted my cookie and he broke it," Sara says.
+
+"Sara wouldn't share her cookie and she pushed me," Tom says.
+
+Their moms look at each other. They sigh.
+
+"Kids, you need to learn to share and be kind," Sara's mom says.
+
+"Sometimes, you have to give a little to get a lot," Tom's mom says.
+
+They hug their kids and give them new snacks. They talk to them and help them say sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. I was greedy," Tom says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I was mean," Sara says.
+
+They hug and make up. They smile and laugh.
+
+"Can we dance now?" Sara asks Tom.
+
+"Sure, let's dance," Tom says.
+
+They hold hands and dance. They are friends again. They are happy.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play together. But today, they have to study. Mom says they have to learn some new words and numbers.
+
+Lily and Max sit at the table with their books. They look at the pictures and say the words. They count the dots and write the numbers. They try to remember what Mom taught them.
+
+But after a while, they get bored. They want to do something fun. They look around the room and see a big basket of laundry. Mom says she will fold the laundry later.
+
+Lily has an idea. She whispers to Max: "Let's play with the laundry. We can make costumes and pretend we are someone else."
+
+Max likes the idea. He nods and smiles. They sneak to the basket and take out some clothes. They put on the clothes over their own. They find hats and scarves and belts and shoes. They look very funny.
+
+Lily puts on a long dress and a big hat. She says: "I am a beautiful princess. I live in a castle. You are my prince. You have to save me from the dragon."
+
+Max puts on a shirt and a tie and a cap. He says: "I am a brave prince. I have a sword. I will fight the dragon and rescue you."
+
+They run around the room and make noises. They pretend they are in a fairy tale. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But they do not hear Mom coming. She opens the door and sees the mess. She sees the clothes on the floor and on the twins. She is not happy.
+
+She says: "Lily and Max, what are you doing? You are supposed to study, not play. And you made a mess with the laundry. You have to put everything back in the basket and finish your work."
+
+Lily and Max look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say: "We are sorry, Mom. We were bored. We wanted to have fun. We did not mean to make a mess."
+
+Mom sighs. She says: "I know you want to have fun, but you also have to study. Studying is important. It helps you learn new things and grow. And you have to respect the laundry. It is not a toy. It is clean and neat. You have to take care of it."
+
+Lily and Max nod. They say: "We understand, Mom. We will study and take care of the laundry. We will not play with it again."
+
+Mom smiles. She says: "That's good. I love you, Lily and Max. You are my beautiful twins. Now, let's clean up and finish your work. And then, we can have some fun together."
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She saw many flowers of different colors. She thought they were very attractive. She wanted to pick some flowers and make a bouquet for her mom.
+
+She saw a big yellow flower that was very bright. She reached out her hand to pick it. But then she heard a small voice.
+
+"Please don't disturb me!" the voice said. "I am a sunflower and I need the sun to grow and be happy. If you pick me, I will die and you will make me sad."
+
+Lily was surprised. She did not know that flowers could talk. She looked at the sunflower and saw a small face in the middle of the petals. The face looked friendly but worried.
+
+"I'm sorry, sunflower," Lily said. "I did not mean to hurt you. You are very attractive and I wanted to give you to my mom. But I don't want to make you sad. Can I just look at you and admire you?"
+
+The sunflower smiled. "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and thoughtful. You can look at me and admire me as much as you want. And you can also talk to me and be my friend. But please don't pick me or any other flower. They are all alive and have feelings. They also make the garden beautiful and give food to the bees and the butterflies."
+
+Lily nodded. She learned a new thing today. She decided to leave the flowers alone and enjoy them in the garden. She also made a new friend in the sunflower. She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and praised her for being respectful and caring. She said that was the best gift she could ever receive.
+Tom and Sue were friends who lived in a hut near the forest. They liked to play with sticks and stones and make noises like animals. One day, they saw a big house on the hill, with many windows and a shiny roof. They wondered who lived there and what they had inside.
+
+They decided to go and see the big house, but they had to be careful not to be seen by the people who lived there. They thought they were wealthy and had many toys and food and clothes. They walked quietly and hid behind the trees and bushes. They reached the fence that surrounded the big house and looked for a hole to get in.
+
+They found a small gap under the fence and crawled through it. They saw a beautiful garden with flowers and fruits and a fountain. They ran towards the fountain and splashed in the water. They laughed and shouted and had fun. They did not notice a man who came out of the big house and saw them.
+
+The man was angry and yelled at them. He said they were naughty and had no right to be in his garden. He said he would punish them and make them work for him. He grabbed them by their arms and dragged them to the big house. He locked them in a dark room and said he would come back later.
+
+Tom and Sue were scared and sad. They wished they had never gone to the big house. They wished they were back in their hut with their families. They hugged each other and cried. They hoped someone would come and save them. They learned a lesson that day: they should not be greedy and curious and trespass on other people's property.
+Tim and Kim are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big purple missile in the sky. It is flying very fast and loud.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tim says. "What is it?"
+
+"I don't know," Kim says. "Maybe it is a rocket. Maybe it is going to the moon."
+
+They watch the purple missile as it gets smaller and smaller. They wonder what it will do.
+
+Suddenly, the purple missile turns around. It comes back to the park. It is flying very low and close.
+
+"Oh no!" Tim says. "It is going to hit us!"
+
+"Run!" Kim says. "We have to hide!"
+
+They run to the slide. They climb under it. They hope the purple missile will not see them.
+
+The purple missile flies over the slide. It does not hit them. It flies away to the other side of the park. It hits a big tree. The tree falls down. The purple missile makes a big boom.
+
+Tim and Kim peek out from under the slide. They see smoke and fire and wood. They are scared and sad.
+
+"Why did it do that?" Tim asks. "Why did it hurt the tree?"
+
+"I don't know," Kim says. "Maybe it was a bad missile. Maybe it did not like the tree."
+
+They hug each other. They wish the purple missile would go away. They wish the tree would be okay. They wish they could play in the park again.
+Tommy loved to eat avocado. He liked how it was green and soft and yummy. He always asked his mom to buy avocado when they went to the store. One day, his mom brought home a big bag of avocado. Tommy was so happy. He wanted to eat them all.
+
+But his mom said, "No, Tommy, you have to share. Avocado is good for you, but too much is not. And we have to save some for your dad and your sister. They like avocado too."
+
+Tommy was sad. He did not want to share. He wanted to eat all the avocado by himself. He thought his mom was not fair. He thought he was unlucky.
+
+The next day, his mom went to work and his dad went to the gym. His sister was at school. Tommy was alone with the babysitter. He saw the bag of avocado on the counter. He had an idea. He sneaked to the kitchen and grabbed the bag. He ran to his room and locked the door. He opened the bag and started to eat the avocado. He ate one, then two, then three. He did not stop. He ate all the avocado in the bag.
+
+He felt very full and sick. His tummy hurt. He felt like throwing up. He wished he had not eaten so much. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had shared with his dad and his sister. He realized he was not smart. He realized he was not happy. He realized he was not lucky.
+
+He heard a knock on the door. It was his mom. She had come home early. She smelled the avocado. She saw the bag and the pits and the peels. She was angry. She opened the door and saw Tommy on the bed. He looked pale and sad. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I ate all the avocado. I was greedy. I was stupid. I was unlucky."
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tommy. I forgive you. But you have to learn to share. Sharing is caring. Sharing is smart. Sharing is lucky. Next time, think of others before you think of yourself. That's how you become a good person. That's how you become happy. That's how you become lucky."
+
+Tommy nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I love you. I love dad. I love sister. I love avocado. But not too much. I will share next time. I will be good. I will be happy. I will be lucky."
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They put the pies on a big tray and pretended they were chefs.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a chocolate pie!" Ben said, showing his muddy creation.
+
+"Yum, yum, can I have a bite?" Lily asked, smiling.
+
+They laughed and pretended to eat the pies. But then they heard a loud noise. It was their mom, coming out of the house.
+
+"Oh, no! Look at you two! You are so dirty!" Mom said, shaking her head. "You need to come inside and have a bath right now!"
+
+Lily and Ben dropped their pies and ran to Mom. They hugged her and said sorry. Mom was not angry, but she was not happy either.
+
+She took them inside and helped them take off their clothes. They were wet and cold from the mud. They shivered as Mom wrapped them in towels.
+
+"Let's get you clean and warm, my little chefs," Mom said, smiling. She put on her apron and filled the tub with warm water and bubbles.
+
+Lily and Ben liked the bubbles. They splashed and played with their toys. Mom washed their hair and scrubbed their faces. She sang a song to make them happy.
+
+Soon they were clean and dry. Mom dressed them in tidy clothes and gave them a hug.
+
+"Now you look like my sweet children again," Mom said, kissing their cheeks. "How about some real chocolate pie for a snack?"
+
+Lily and Ben cheered and followed Mom to the kitchen. They still liked to play in the mud, but they also liked to be clean and cozy. And they loved their mom and her chocolate pie.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the living room. It is a new printer for Mom and Dad. Ben and Lily are curious. They want to see what the printer can do.
+
+They open the box and take out the printer. They plug it in and turn it on. They see a button that says "print". They press it. The printer makes a noise and spits out a paper. The paper has a picture of a flower on it. Ben and Lily are happy. They clap their hands and say, "Wow! The printer can make pictures!"
+
+They look for more things to print. They find a book with many pictures of animals. They open the book and put it on the printer. They press the button again. The printer makes another noise and spits out another paper. The paper has a picture of a lion on it. Ben and Lily are excited. They roar like lions and say, "Look! The printer can make animals!"
+
+They want to print more pictures. They look around the room and see a bowl of fruit on the table. They run to the table and grab the fruit. They put the fruit on the printer. They press the button one more time. The printer makes a loud noise and spits out a paper. The paper has a picture of a lemon on it. Ben and Lily are puzzled. They say, "What is this? The printer can make fruit?"
+
+They pick up the paper and the lemon. They compare them. They see that they are the same. They wonder how the lemon tastes. They peel the lemon and take a bite. They make a face and spit it out. The lemon is bitter. They say, "Yuck! The lemon is bad! The printer can make bad fruit!"
+
+They hear Mom and Dad coming. They quickly put the printer, the book, and the fruit back in the box. They hide the papers under the couch. They pretend to play with their toys. Mom and Dad enter the room and see the box. They say, "What is this? Did you open our new printer?"
+
+Ben and Lily shake their heads and say, "No, no, we did not. We were just playing with our toys."
+
+Mom and Dad smile and say, "OK, OK, we believe you. But maybe you should not touch the printer. It is not a toy. It is for work. And maybe you should not eat the lemon. It is not for eating. It is for juice."
+
+Ben and Lily nod and say, "OK, OK, we understand. We will not touch the printer. We will not eat the lemon. We are sorry."
+
+Mom and Dad hug them and say, "It's OK, we love you. But next time, please ask us before you use something new. And next time, please try something sweet. Like a banana or an apple. They are good for you."
+
+Ben and Lily smile and say, "OK, OK, we will. We love you too. And we like bananas and apples. They are yummy."
+
+The end.
+Tom was a small soldier who liked to play with his toy army. He had many green men and trucks and planes that he put on the floor and made noises with. He pretended they were fighting a big war and he was the leader.
+
+One day, his mom said, "Tom, it is time to go to grandma's house. We have to wrap a present for her. Can you help me?" Tom nodded and followed his mom to the kitchen. There was a big box on the table with a red bow on it.
+
+"What is in the box, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"It is a surprise, Tom. You will see when we give it to grandma. Now, can you hold this paper for me?" Mom gave Tom a piece of shiny paper with stars on it. She cut it with scissors and taped it around the box.
+
+"Wow, it looks pretty, mom!" Tom said.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are a good helper. Now, can you write your name on this card?" Mom gave Tom a pen and a card with a heart on it. Tom tried to write his name, but it was hard. He made a T and an O and an M.
+
+"Good job, Tom!" Mom said. "Now, let's put the card on the box and we are ready to go."
+
+Tom and mom put the card on the box and carried it to the car. Tom was excited to see grandma and give her the present. He wondered what was in the box. He hoped grandma would like it. He also hoped she would let him play with his toy army. He loved his small soldiers.
+Lily and Ben went to the big pool with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see the dolphins. The dolphins were gray and smooth. They jumped and splashed in the water. Lily and Ben clapped and laughed.
+
+A lady with a whistle came to the pool. She said she would teach them how to sign to the dolphins. Sign means to make shapes with your hands. The dolphins can understand the shapes. The lady showed them how to sign hello, good, and fish.
+
+Lily and Ben tried to sign to the dolphins. They waved their hands and made circles and lines. One dolphin came close to them. He had a wide smile. He signed hello back to them. Lily and Ben were very happy. They gave him a fish. The dolphin ate the fish and made a happy noise.
+
+The lady said they did a good job. She said the dolphin liked them. She asked them if they wanted to touch the dolphin. Lily and Ben nodded. They reached out their hands and felt the dolphin's skin. It was wet and soft. The dolphin nudged them gently. He signed good and thank you.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged the dolphin. They said goodbye and thank you. They told Mom and Dad what they learned. Mom and Dad were proud of them. They said the dolphins were smart and friendly. They said Lily and Ben were smart and friendly too. They all had a fun day at the big pool.
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. Ben has a red car. Lily has a yellow doll. They want to try each other's toys.
+
+"Can I borrow your car?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"OK, but can I borrow your doll?" Ben says.
+
+They trade toys and play for a while. They make funny noises and pretend to drive and talk.
+
+But soon they miss their own toys. They want to trade back.
+
+"I want my car back," Ben says.
+
+"I want my doll back," Lily says.
+
+They trade toys again and hug each other. They are happy.
+
+"Thank you for letting me borrow your toy," Lily says.
+
+"Thank you for letting me borrow your toy," Ben says.
+
+They are good friends. They like to share. They have fun.
+Lily and Sam were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. They saw a big rock with a hole in it. "What is in there?" Lily asked. "Let's go and see," Sam said.
+
+They walked to the rock and peeked inside the hole. They saw something pink and slimy with many arms. It was an octopus. The octopus saw them and waved its arms. "Hello, little ones," it said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily and Sam were scared. They did not know what the octopus wanted. They backed away from the hole. "No, thank you," Lily said. "We have to go now." The octopus looked sad. "But I am lonely," it said. "I have no friends here. Please stay with me."
+
+Lily and Sam felt sorry for the octopus. They did not want to hurt its feelings. But they did not feel safe with it. They did not know if it was nice or mean. They did not know if it would hurt them or help them. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then they saw their mom coming. She had a picnic basket and a blanket. She smiled at them and waved. "Come on, kids," she said. "It's time for lunch." Lily and Sam ran to their mom. They told her about the octopus. She listened and nodded. "That was very brave of you to talk to the octopus," she said. "But you were also very smart to stay away from it. You should never go near strange animals without an adult. They might seem friendly, but they might also be dangerous. You have to be careful and listen to your instincts. They will tell you what is safe and what is not."
+
+Lily and Sam hugged their mom. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be kind, but also to be cautious. They learned to respect, but also to protect. They learned to love, but also to leave. They learned to play, but also to stay. They learned to be happy, but also to be wary. They learned to be curious, but also to be wise.
+One day, Ben and Lily were walking with their mom and dad to the park. They liked to walk and see the flowers, the birds, and the swings. They were happy and excited.
+
+But then, they saw a big, dark cloud in the sky. It was making a loud noise, like a train. It was a tornado! The tornado was spinning fast and coming closer. Ben and Lily were scared and held their mom and dad's hands.
+
+Mom and dad said, "We have to run to the car and go home. The tornado is dangerous. It can break things and hurt people." They ran as fast as they could to the car. The car was fancy and shiny. It had four doors and a big trunk. Mom and dad got in the front and Ben and Lily got in the back. They put on their seat belts and drove away.
+
+The tornado followed them for a while, but then it went away. Ben and Lily looked out the window and saw that the sky was clear and blue again. They were safe and relieved. They said, "Thank you, mom and dad, for taking us away from the tornado. You are brave and smart."
+
+Mom and dad said, "You're welcome, Ben and Lily. We love you very much. You are good and brave, too. Now let's go home and have some cookies and milk." They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy and grateful.
+Tom and his mom went to the park. They had a lot of fun playing on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. Tom was very thirsty after running and jumping. He asked his mom, "Can I have a drink, please?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Of course, my love. Let's go to the car and get your water bottle." They walked to the car, which was red and shiny. Mom opened the door and gave Tom his water bottle. Tom drank some water and felt better.
+
+"Thank you, mom," Tom said. "You are the best."
+
+Mom hugged Tom and said, "You are welcome, sweetie. You are the best, too."
+
+They got in the car and drove home. Tom was tired and sleepy. He rested his head on mom's shoulder. Mom was gentle and sang a song to him. Tom closed his eyes and dreamed of the park. He was happy.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was the big wardrobe. The wardrobe was old and fragile, and their mom told them not to open it or climb on it. But Anna and Ben were curious and wanted to see what was inside.
+
+One day, when their mom was busy in the kitchen, they decided to sneak into the wardrobe. They opened the door and saw many clothes and shoes and hats. They tried them on and pretended to be different people. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+"Look, Ben, I'm a princess!" Anna said, wearing a long dress and a crown.
+
+"And I'm a pirate!" Ben said, wearing a coat and a hat and holding a sword.
+
+They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not notice the wardrobe door closing behind them. They did not see the crack on the wall.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. The wardrobe shook and fell down. Anna and Ben screamed and tried to get out, but they were trapped under the clothes and the wood. They were scared and hurt.
+
+"Mommy! Mommy! Help us!" they cried.
+
+Their mom heard their cries and ran to their room. She saw the wardrobe on the floor and the twins inside. She was shocked and worried. She lifted the wardrobe and pulled them out. She hugged them and checked if they were okay.
+
+"Anna, Ben, what were you doing in the wardrobe? You know it's fragile and dangerous. You could have been seriously injured. Why didn't you listen to me?" she asked.
+
+Anna and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They knew they had done something wrong. They apologized to their mom and promised to obey her.
+
+"Mommy, we're sorry. We were curious and wanted to play. We won't do it again. Please forgive us," they said.
+
+Their mom forgave them and kissed them. She was glad they were safe. She told them to be careful and respectful of their things. She told them that curiosity is good, but they should also follow the rules and be responsible.
+
+"Curiosity is good, but you should also follow the rules and be responsible. The wardrobe is not a toy, it's a fragile piece of furniture. You should respect it and take care of it. You should also listen to me when I tell you something for your own good. I love you and I want you to be safe and happy," she said.
+
+Anna and Ben understood and nodded. They thanked their mom and said they loved her too. They learned their lesson and never played in the wardrobe again. They played with their toys and books instead, and they were happy.
+Lila was a curious girl who liked to learn new things. She had many books with pictures and words in different languages. She wanted to talk to people from other places and make new friends.
+
+One day, she saw a man with a big cart outside her house. He had many things to sell: toys, clothes, books, and more. Lila ran to the cart and looked at everything. She saw a book with a language she did not know. It had letters and symbols that looked strange and beautiful.
+
+"Hello, little girl. Do you like this book?" the man asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. What language is it?" Lila asked.
+
+"It is Arabic. It is a language spoken by many people in the world. It is very old and rich. Do you want to buy it?" the man said.
+
+Lila thought for a moment. She wanted to learn Arabic, but she did not have enough money. She only had a few coins in her pocket.
+
+"I don't have enough money. Can I trade something for it?" she asked.
+
+The man looked at Lila and smiled. He saw that she was curious and eager to learn.
+
+"What do you have to trade?" he asked.
+
+Lila thought again. She looked at her books and toys. She loved them all, but she wanted to try something new. She picked up her favorite teddy bear and held it out.
+
+"I have this. It is very soft and cuddly. It is my best friend. Do you want it?" she asked.
+
+The man looked at the teddy bear and nodded. He saw that it was well-loved and cared for.
+
+"That is a very nice offer. I will trade you the book for the teddy bear. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will read the book and learn the language. And you have to promise me that you will make new friends who speak Arabic. Can you do that?" he asked.
+
+Lila nodded. She was happy and excited. She gave the teddy bear to the man and took the book. She hugged the book and thanked the man.
+
+"I promise. I will read the book and learn the language. And I will make new friends who speak Arabic. Thank you very much!" she said.
+
+The man smiled and waved goodbye. He pushed his cart and left. Lila ran back to her house and opened the book. She looked at the pictures and words and tried to say them out loud. She was curious and eager to learn. She had a new book, a new language, and a new adventure.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for bugs and flowers. One day, they saw a big bird with a hurt wing. It was lying on the grass and making sad noises.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bird!" Lily said. "It needs help!"
+
+Ben nodded. He was brave and compassionate. He went closer to the bird and knelt down. He tried to touch the wing gently, but the bird was scared and pecked his hand.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cried. "It bit me!"
+
+Lily ran to him and hugged him. She looked at his hand. It was red and had a small mark.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," she said. "The bird is scared too. It doesn't know we want to help."
+
+Ben sniffed. He looked at the bird again. It was still lying on the grass and making sad noises.
+
+"Maybe we can find someone who can help the bird," he said. "Someone who knows about birds and wings."
+
+Lily nodded. She had an idea.
+
+"Let's go to the library," she said. "They have books about birds and animals. Maybe we can find out what to do."
+
+Ben smiled. He liked the library. They had many books and pictures and nice people.
+
+"Okay," he said. "Let's go."
+
+They got up and held hands. They walked to the library, which was not far from the park. They hoped they could find a way to help the bird. They were on a journey to learn and to be kind.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to play taxi drivers. They used a big cardboard box as their taxi and cut out windows and doors. Ben was the driver and Lily was the passenger.
+
+"Where do you want to go?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"I want to go to the park," Lily said.
+
+"OK, that will be two cookies," Ben said.
+
+Lily gave Ben two cookies from her lunch box and got in the taxi. Ben started to make engine noises and moved the box around the room.
+
+But outside, the sky was gloomy and dark. It started to rain and thunder. Ben and Lily heard the loud noises and saw the flashes of light. They got scared and stopped playing.
+
+"I don't like the rain," Lily said. "It makes me sad."
+
+"Me too," Ben said. "Let's go to the kitchen and see if Mom can serve us some hot chocolate."
+
+They left the taxi and ran to the kitchen. Mom was there, smiling and holding a big pot.
+
+"Hi, kids," Mom said. "Do you want some hot chocolate? I made it for you."
+
+"Yes, please," Ben and Lily said.
+
+Mom poured them some hot chocolate in their favorite mugs and gave them some marshmallows. They drank the warm drink and felt better.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Ben and Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome, my loves," Mom said. "You can play taxi again when the rain stops. Or you can play something else. As long as you have fun and use your imagination."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged Mom and smiled. They decided to play something else until the sun came out. They were happy and cozy in their home.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big stone with weird marks on it. They wanted to see what it was.
+
+They ran to the stone and touched it. It felt cold and hard. They looked at the marks. They looked like letters, but they could not read them.
+
+They heard a voice. It was a whisper. It said, "Do you want to know a secret?" They looked around, but they saw no one.
+
+They were curious. They said, "Yes, tell us the secret."
+
+The voice said, "Come closer to the stone. Put your ears on it. I will tell you the secret."
+
+They did what the voice said. They put their ears on the stone. They waited for the secret.
+
+But the voice did not tell them a secret. It said, "Now you are mine. You can never leave the stone. You will be here forever."
+
+They tried to move, but they could not. They felt the stone wrap around them. They felt scared and sad. They cried for help, but no one heard them.
+
+They were stuck in the stone. They had no friends, no toys, no fun. They wished they never saw the stone. They wished they never heard the voice. They wished they could go back to the park. But it was too late. The end.
+Ben likes to read novels. Novels are big books with many words and pictures. They tell stories about different people and places. Ben has many novels in his room. He likes to read them before he sleeps.
+
+One day, Ben's mom gives him a new novel. She says it is very original. Original means it is different from other novels. Ben looks at the novel. It has a blue cover with a dragon on it. Ben likes dragons. He says thank you to his mom and takes the novel to his room.
+
+He opens the novel and starts to read. But he does not like it. The words are too hard. The pictures are too dark. The story is too scary. Ben feels sad and angry. He closes the novel and puts it under his bed. He does not want to read it anymore.
+
+The next day, Ben's mom asks him how he likes the novel. Ben says he does not like it. He says it is too hard, too dark, and too scary. He says he wants to read his old novels. They are easy, bright, and fun.
+
+Ben's mom is surprised. She says the novel is very original. She says it is good to try new things. She says she can help him read the novel. She says it is not so scary if they read it together.
+
+But Ben refuses. He says he does not want to read the novel. He says he only wants to read his old novels. He says he does not like original things. He says he likes familiar things.
+
+Ben's mom is sad. She says she is sorry he does not like the novel. She says she will not force him to read it. She says he can read his old novels if he wants. But she hopes he will change his mind someday. She says original things can be fun and exciting. She says she loves him no matter what. She gives him a hug and a kiss. Ben hugs and kisses her back. He says he loves her too. But he still does not want to read the novel.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big kite in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. It flies high and fast.
+
+"Wow, look at the kite!" Tom says. "I want to fly a kite too!"
+
+Mia nods. She has a kite at home. It is green and purple and pink. It has a long tail. She likes her kite very much.
+
+"I have a kite," Mia says. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tom smiles. He likes Mia. She is a good friend. She is reliable. She always shares her toys and helps him when he is sad.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom says. "Thank you for offering!"
+
+Mia and Tom run to Mia's house. They get the kite and some string. They go to the park. They find a big hill. They run and run and let the kite fly. The kite dances in the wind. It makes them happy.
+
+They take turns holding the string. They watch the kite and the clouds. They laugh and sing. They have fun. They are glad they have each other and the kite.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big jeep that they could ride in the garden. They liked to pretend they were going on adventures in the jeep.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to share the jeep with their cousin Lily, who was coming to visit. Anna and Ben did not like this idea. They thought Lily was selfish and would not let them have a turn. They decided to hide the jeep in the shed and not mention it to Lily.
+
+When Lily arrived, she was very happy to see Anna and Ben. She asked them what they wanted to play. Anna and Ben said they wanted to play with their dolls and cars. They did not say anything about the jeep.
+
+Lily played with them for a while, but she soon got bored. She wanted to play something else. She looked around the garden and saw the shed. She wondered what was inside. She said to Anna and Ben, "Can we see what is in the shed?"
+
+Anna and Ben felt nervous. They did not want Lily to find the jeep. They said, "No, we can't. The shed is locked. There is nothing in there."
+
+But Lily did not believe them. She saw a key hanging on the wall. She grabbed the key and ran to the shed. She opened the door and saw the jeep. She was very surprised and excited. She said, "Wow, you have a jeep! Why didn't you mention it? Can I ride it?"
+
+Anna and Ben felt ashamed. They realized they had been selfish and mean. They had not shared their jeep with Lily, who was their guest and their cousin. They said, "We are sorry, Lily. We were afraid you would not let us have a turn. But that was wrong. You can ride the jeep. We can take turns and have fun together."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged them. She said, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very kind. I am sorry if I was selfish before. I like to play with you. Let's go on an adventure in the jeep!"
+
+They all got in the jeep and drove around the garden. They pretended they were going to the jungle, the desert, and the moon. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They learned to share and be nice to each other. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play. One day, they found a big zip in their room. It was part of a tent that their dad had left there. They decided to make a tent with the zip and some blankets.
+
+They put the blankets over the zip and made a cozy tent. They crawled inside and pretended they were camping. They had fun telling stories and singing songs. They were very happy.
+
+But then, they heard their mom calling them. It was time for dinner. Tom and Lily did not want to leave their tent. They thought they could sleep there all night. They were foolish.
+
+They ignored their mom and closed the zip. They thought she would not find them. They snuggled in their blankets and fell asleep.
+
+But they were wrong. Their mom was angry. She looked for them everywhere. She saw the tent and opened the zip. She was very mad. She scolded them for not listening to her. She dragged them out of the tent and made them eat their dinner. They were very sad.
+
+They learned a lesson. They should not sleep when they are supposed to eat. They should not hide from their mom. They should not be foolish. They should obey their mom. She loves them and knows what is best for them.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play by the river. They had a raft that they made from wood and rope. They took turns to paddle the raft and explore the water.
+
+One day, they saw a big fish swimming near their raft. It had shiny scales and a long tail. Lily and Ben wanted to catch the fish and look at it.
+
+"Let me have the net!" Ben said. He reached for the net that was on the raft.
+
+"No, it's my turn!" Lily said. She pulled the net away from Ben.
+
+They both wanted the net and did not share. They tugged and pulled until the net broke. The fish swam away.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They blamed each other for losing the fish and the net. They did not talk to each other.
+
+They paddled the raft back to the shore. They saw a little boy crying on the bank. He had a toy boat that was stuck on a rock in the middle of the river. He could not reach it.
+
+"Can you help me?" the boy asked. "My boat is over there. I want it back."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for the boy. They decided to be brave and help him.
+
+They paddled the raft to the rock. Ben used a stick to push the boat off the rock. Lily caught the boat and gave it to the boy.
+
+"Thank you!" the boy said. He smiled and hugged his boat.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled too. They felt happy and proud. They realized that sharing and helping were better than fighting and breaking.
+
+They said sorry to each other and hugged. They agreed to share the raft and the net next time. They invited the boy to join them and play on the raft. They had fun and made a new friend.
+Tom and Sue were big kids who liked to play tricks on little kids. They saw Ben, who was only three, walking with his mom to the opera. The opera was a big house where people sang very loud and wore funny clothes.
+
+"Hey, Ben, do you want to see something cool?" Tom asked.
+
+Ben was curious and nodded. Sue smiled and said, "Follow us, we'll show you."
+
+They led Ben to a dark alley behind the opera house. There was a big trash can with a lid. Tom lifted the lid and said, "Look inside, there's a surprise for you."
+
+Ben peeked inside and saw a pile of old clothes and shoes. He was disappointed and said, "That's not cool, that's just trash."
+
+Tom and Sue laughed and said, "No, it's not trash, it's a magic hat. If you wear it, you'll become a star of the opera. Try it on."
+
+Ben was doubtful, but he wanted to be a star. He reached for a hat that looked like a crown. Tom and Sue pushed him into the trash can and slammed the lid. They ran away, leaving Ben trapped and scared.
+
+Ben tried to remove the lid, but it was too heavy. He shouted for help, but no one heard him. The trash can was very smelly and dirty. Ben felt dizzy and sick. He cried and wished he never met Tom and Sue. He missed his mom and the opera. He wondered if anyone would ever find him. He was very unhappy.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big puzzle. The puzzle has many pieces that fit together to make a picture of a farm.
+
+One day, they are playing with the puzzle on the floor. They try to find the pieces that fit. They look at the sign on the box that shows the picture of the farm. They see a cow, a pig, a sheep, a horse, and a barn.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found the cow!" Lily says. She holds a piece with a black and white spot.
+
+"Good, Lily, put it here!" Ben says. He points to a place on the puzzle. Lily puts the piece there. It fits.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found the pig!" Ben says. He holds a piece with a pink nose.
+
+"Good, Ben, put it here!" Lily says. She points to another place on the puzzle. Ben puts the piece there. It fits.
+
+They keep playing until they finish the puzzle. They are happy to see the picture of the farm. They clap their hands and smile.
+
+"Wow, we did it!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, we did!" Lily says.
+
+They are very proud of themselves. They are also very sleepy. They yawn and rub their eyes.
+
+"Let's go to bed, Ben," Lily says.
+
+"OK, Lily," Ben says.
+
+They put the puzzle back in the box. They pick up their toys and put them away. They hug each other and say good night. They go to their beds and fall asleep. They dream of the farm and the animals. They are happy and cozy.
+Ben likes to ride his bike. He has a red bike with big wheels and a bell. He rides his bike on the sidewalk and in the park. He likes to go fast and make noise.
+
+One day, he sees a new neighbor. The neighbor has a big dog. The dog is black and brown and has long hair. The dog barks at Ben and his bike. Ben is scared of the dog. He stops his bike and runs away.
+
+The next day, Ben wants to ride his bike again. He sees the neighbor and the dog. The neighbor smiles at Ben and says hello. He says his dog is friendly and likes to play. He says his dog's name is Max. He asks Ben if he wants to pet Max.
+
+Ben is curious. He likes animals. He goes closer to Max. Max wags his tail and licks Ben's hand. Ben giggles. He pets Max's rough fur. He says Max is soft and warm. He is not scared of Max anymore.
+
+The neighbor says Ben can ride his bike with Max. He says Max likes to run and chase. He says Max will not bite or hurt Ben. He says Max is a good dog.
+
+Ben is happy. He rides his bike with Max. Max runs and chases Ben's bike. Ben rings his bell and laughs. He and Max have fun. They are friends. Ben likes his new neighbor and his dog.
+Lily liked to play the flute. She learned from her big sister, who was very good at it. Lily wanted to be good too, so she practiced every day in her room.
+
+One day, Lily saw some flowers in the garden. They were pink and yellow and purple. They smelled nice and looked pretty. Lily thought they would like to hear her flute. She took her flute and went outside. She sat on the grass and played a song for the flowers.
+
+She did not see that her sister and her friends were watching her from the window. They giggled and whispered. They thought Lily was silly and funny. They decided to tease her.
+
+They opened the window and shouted, "Hey, Lily, are you talking to the flowers? Do they talk back? Do they like your flute?"
+
+Lily was surprised and scared. She looked up and saw her sister and her friends. They were laughing at her. She felt embarrassed and sad. She stopped playing and ran inside. She hid under her bed and cried.
+
+The flowers felt sorry for Lily. They liked her flute and her song. They wanted to make her happy. They used their magic and bloomed more and more. They filled the garden with colors and scents. They made a beautiful gift for Lily.
+
+When Lily came out of her room, she saw the flowers. They were everywhere. They looked like a rainbow. They smelled like a dream. They waved at her and smiled. They said, "Thank you, Lily, for your flute and your song. We love you. You are not silly or funny. You are kind and sweet."
+
+Lily smiled and felt happy. She picked up her flute and played another song for the flowers. She did not care what her sister and her friends said. She knew the flowers were her friends. They understood her and appreciated her. They made her feel special.
+Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play with toys and talk to each other. One day, Tom finds a big bow in his room. It is red and shiny and has a string. Tom thinks it is a fun toy. He wants to show it to Ann.
+
+He runs to Ann's house with the bow. He knocks on the door. Ann opens the door and sees the bow. She likes it too. She says, "Wow, what a nice bow! Can I play with it?"
+
+Tom says, "No, it is mine. You can only look at it." He holds the bow tight and does not share it with Ann. Ann feels sad and angry. She says, "That is not nice. You are a bad friend. I don't want to talk to you." She slams the door and goes inside.
+
+Tom feels lonely and sorry. He thinks, "Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I should share the bow with Ann. She is my friend. I want to talk to her." He knocks on the door again. He says, "Ann, I am sorry. I was selfish. You can play with the bow. Please be my friend again."
+
+Ann hears Tom's voice. She opens the door and sees him with the bow. She smiles and says, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. You are a good friend. Let's play with the bow together." They hug and go to the yard. They take turns to hold the bow and pretend to shoot arrows. They have fun and talk to each other.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. If you share your toys with your friends, you will have more fun and happiness. If you are selfish and greedy, you will lose your friends and feel lonely.
+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 shared their toys.
+
+But then, Sam came in. Sam was Lily's big brother and he was rude. He did not like to share and he liked to make Lily and Ben cry. He saw Lily's doll and he wanted it. He did not ask nicely. He just ran to Lily and took her doll. He stole it!
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She shouted at Sam and tried to get her doll back. But Sam was bigger and stronger. He pushed Lily away and laughed. He said, "This is my doll now. You can have this old car. It is boring."
+
+He threw the car at Lily and hit her head. It hurt. Lily cried. Ben was mad. He did not like Sam. He wanted to help Lily. He had an idea. He saw a switch on the wall. The switch turned on and off the lights. He ran to the switch and flipped it.
+
+The living room became dark. Sam was scared. He did not like the dark. He dropped the doll and screamed. Lily and Ben grabbed their toys and ran to the other room. They turned on the light and hugged each other. They were happy and safe.
+
+Sam was still in the dark. He was sorry. He learned a lesson. He should not steal and be rude. He should share and be nice. He called for Lily and Ben and said, "I'm sorry. Can we play together?"
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw dark clouds and lightning. They felt anxious.
+
+"What is that?" Sara asked.
+
+"It is a storm," Ben said. "It makes rain and wind and thunder."
+
+"Will it hurt us?" Sara wondered.
+
+"No, we are safe inside," Ben said. "Mom and Dad will protect us."
+
+They heard another loud noise. They ran to their parents in the kitchen. Mom and Dad hugged them and smiled.
+
+"Don't be scared, sweeties," Mom said. "The storm will pass soon. It is just nature's way of making the air and the earth clean."
+
+"Can we watch a movie?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Dad said. "Let's go to the couch and pick something fun."
+
+They went to the couch and turned on the TV. They saw a cartoon about animals. They laughed and forgot about the storm.
+
+"Look, there is a lion and a zebra," Sara said.
+
+"They are friends," Ben said.
+
+"Did you mention the storm?" Mom asked.
+
+"No, we did not," Sara said. "We are not anxious anymore. We are happy."
+Lily and Tom are playing with their toys. Lily has a furry teddy bear and Tom has a wooden truck. Lily likes her teddy bear very much. She hugs it and talks to it.
+
+"Hello, teddy. You are so soft and warm. I love you," she says.
+
+Tom looks at Lily and her teddy bear. He wants to play with it too. He thinks it looks fun and cozy. He puts his truck down and walks to Lily.
+
+"Can I play with your teddy bear, Lily?" he asks.
+
+Lily shakes her head. She does not want to share her teddy bear. She holds it tighter and says, "No, Tom. This is my teddy bear. You have your truck. Go play with your truck."
+
+Tom feels sad and angry. He does not like Lily's answer. He wants to have the teddy bear. He tries to grab it from Lily. Lily screams and pulls it back. They start to fight over the teddy bear.
+
+"Stop it, stop it!" their mom says. She hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily and Tom fighting over the teddy bear. She is not happy. She takes the teddy bear from them and says, "You two need to learn how to share. Sharing is nice and kind. Fighting is bad and mean. How would you feel if someone took your toy away from you?"
+
+Lily and Tom look at each other. They feel sorry and ashamed. They do not want to make their mom angry. They do not want to hurt each other. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, Lily. We are sorry, Tom."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's good. I'm glad you are sorry. Now, let's see how we can share the teddy bear. Do you know what a measure is?"
+
+Lily and Tom shake their heads. They do not know what a measure is.
+
+Mom says, "A measure is something that tells you how big or how long or how heavy something is. For example, this is a ruler. It measures how long things are. See, the teddy bear is about 30 centimeters long. That means it is not very big. But it is big enough for both of you to play with. How about we measure the time you can play with the teddy bear? We can use this clock. It measures how fast time goes by. See, the clock has two hands. The big hand and the small hand. The big hand moves faster than the small hand. When the big hand moves from one number to the next number, that is one minute. When the small hand moves from one number to the next number, that is one hour. How about we let each of you play with the teddy bear for five minutes? That means when the big hand moves five numbers, you have to give the teddy bear to the other one. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They understand what a measure is. They think it is a fair way to share the teddy bear. They agree to play with the teddy bear for five minutes each. They say, "Thank you, mom. Thank you for teaching us what a measure is. Thank you for helping us share the teddy bear."
+
+Mom says, "You're welcome, Lily. You're welcome, Tom. I'm proud of you for being nice and kind to each other. Now, go and have fun with the teddy bear. But remember, when the big hand moves five numbers, you have to give the teddy bear to the other one. OK?"
+
+Lily and Tom say, "OK, mom. We will remember."
+
+They hug their mom and then hug each other. They take turns playing with the teddy bear. They are happy and friendly. They do not fight anymore. They learn how to share and how to measure. They have a good time.
+Ben and Mia were twins who loved candy. They liked to eat candy every day after lunch. But their mom said they had to share their candy with their friends. Ben and Mia did not like to share. They wanted to keep all the candy for themselves.
+
+One day, they had a clever idea. They decided to mail their candy to their own house. They found a big box and put all their candy inside. Then they wrote their address on the box and put some stamps on it. They asked their dad to take them to the post office. Their dad did not know what was in the box. He thought they were sending a gift to someone.
+
+At the post office, Ben and Mia gave the box to the lady behind the counter. They smiled and said, "Thank you!" They were very happy. They thought they would get their candy back in a few days.
+
+But they were wrong. The lady behind the counter saw the stamps on the box. She saw that they were old and not valid. She opened the box and saw the candy. She said, "Oh, this is not a gift. This is your candy. You can't mail your candy to yourself. That's silly. You have to take it back."
+
+Ben and Mia were very sad. They had to take their box of candy back home. Their mom saw the box and asked them what they did. They told her the truth. Their mom was not angry. She was amused. She said, "That was a clever idea, but not a good one. You should share your candy with your friends. That's more fun and kind. How about we mail some candy to your friends instead?"
+
+Ben and Mia agreed. They learned their lesson. They mailed some candy to their friends and kept some for themselves. They ate their candy happily and thanked their mom. They were still clever, but also kind.
+Lila was a rabbit who liked to hop and play in the grass. She had many friends who were also rabbits. They hoped to find good food and water every day. They also hoped to stay away from hunters, who wanted to catch them and hurt them.
+
+One day, Lila saw a big carrot in a field. She was very hungry and wanted to eat it. She did not see the hunter who put the carrot there. He was hiding behind a tree with a gun. He hoped to shoot Lila and take her home.
+
+Lila ran towards the carrot, but before she could reach it, she heard a loud bang. She felt a sharp pain in her chest and fell to the ground. She could not move or breathe. She saw the hunter come out of his hiding place and pick her up. He had a rough face and a mean smile. He said, "Gotcha, you silly rabbit. You will make a nice stew for me."
+
+Lila's friends saw what happened and were very sad and scared. They hoped that Lila would be okay, but they knew she was not. They hoped that the hunter would go away and leave them alone, but they knew he would not. They hoped that they could find a safe place to live, but they knew it would be hard. They hoped that Lila was happy in heaven, but they missed her very much.
+Lila and Ben liked to play in the garden. They saw many things there: flowers, bugs, birds, and rocks. One day, they found a shiny rock that was different from the others. It had many colors and shapes. It was a crystal.
+
+They took the crystal to their playhouse and put it on a table. They looked at it and touched it. It was smooth and cold. They wondered what it was and where it came from. They wanted to know more about it.
+
+They decided to ask their mom. They ran to the house and called for her. She came out and saw them holding the crystal. She smiled and said, "That's a very pretty crystal. Where did you find it?"
+
+They told her about the garden and the playhouse. She said, "That's amazing. Do you want to learn more about crystals? I have a book that can help you."
+
+They said yes and followed her to the library. She took out a big book and opened it. It had many pictures and words about crystals. She read some of them to Lila and Ben. They learned that crystals are made of tiny pieces that fit together. They learned that crystals can have different colors and shapes. They learned that crystals can grow or shrink depending on how hot or cold they are.
+
+They were very interested and asked many questions. They wanted to see more crystals. Their mom said, "I have an idea. Why don't we go to the museum tomorrow? They have a lot of crystals there. You can see them up close and learn more about them."
+
+They said yes and hugged their mom. They were very happy and excited. They thanked her for the book and the crystal. They ran back to the playhouse and put the crystal in a safe place. They wanted to keep it and show it to their friends. They wondered what other crystals they would see at the museum. They could not wait for tomorrow.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bear in the park. The bear is brown and furry. He is not angry. He is happy.
+
+"Look, a bear!" Lily says. She points to the bear. "He is so big and soft!"
+
+"Wow, a bear!" Tom says. He points to the bear too. "He is so cute and friendly!"
+
+The bear sees Lily and Tom. He walks to them. He is not fast. He is slow. He wants to say hello.
+
+"Hello, bear!" Lily and Tom say. They smile at the bear. They are not scared. They are brave.
+
+"Hello, kids!" the bear says. He smiles at Lily and Tom. He is not loud. He is quiet. He wants to play.
+
+The bear gives Lily and Tom a hug. He is not rough. He is gentle. He is a nice bear.
+
+Lily and Tom hug the bear back. They are not cold. They are warm. They are happy.
+
+They play with the bear in the park. They have fun. They are friends.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park with their bikes. They liked to go fast and make loud noises. They pretended they were racing cars or planes or rockets.
+
+"Look at me, Mia!" Tim shouted. "I can go faster than you!"
+
+He pedaled hard and tried to pass Mia, but he did not see the big rock on the path. He hit the rock and fell off his bike. He scraped his knee and elbow and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he wailed. "It hurts!"
+
+Mia stopped her bike and ran to Tim. She saw the blood on his leg and arm and felt scared.
+
+"Don't cry, Tim," she said. "I'll get help."
+
+She ran to the bench where their moms were sitting and told them what happened. Their moms got up and followed Mia to Tim. They saw his wounds and tried to calm him down.
+
+"You'll be okay, Tim," his mom said. "We'll clean your cuts and put some bandages on them. You're very brave."
+
+She took out a tissue and some water from her bag and gently wiped the blood. Tim winced and sniffled.
+
+"Does it still hurt?" Mia asked.
+
+"A little," Tim said. "But I'm not crying anymore."
+
+Just then, they heard a loud siren and saw a big red truck with a flashing light. It was an ambulance. It stopped near the park and two people in white clothes got out. They had a bag and a stretcher with them.
+
+"What's that?" Tim asked.
+
+"That's an ambulance," his mom said. "They help people who are sick or hurt. They have medicine and tools and a bed inside the truck."
+
+"Are they here for me?" Tim asked.
+
+"No, honey," his mom said. "They're here for someone else. Maybe someone who fell from the swings or the slide. They'll take them to the hospital and make them better."
+
+Tim and Mia watched as the ambulance people went to the playground and talked to another mom and a boy. The boy had a bandage on his head and looked pale. He was crying. The ambulance people put him on the stretcher and carried him to the truck. They closed the door and drove away with the siren on.
+
+"Wow," Mia said. "That was scary."
+
+"Yeah," Tim said. "I hope he's okay."
+
+He looked at his own bandages and felt embarrassed. He thought he was silly for falling off his bike and making a fuss. He wished he had been more careful.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia," he said. "I ruined our game. I was trying to be fast and cool, but I was stupid."
+
+Mia smiled and hugged him.
+
+"It's okay, Tim," she said. "You're still my friend. And you're still fast and cool. But next time, watch out for the rocks, okay?"
+
+"Okay," Tim said. "And next time, let's play something else. Something safer. Like tag or hide and seek or hopscotch."
+
+"Okay," Mia said. "That sounds fun."
+
+They got on their bikes and rode back to their moms. They were happy to be together and to be safe. They decided to spend the rest of the day playing nice and easy games. They did not want to see another ambulance.
+One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers, birds and bugs. They liked to look at them and learn their names.
+
+"Look, Ben, a beetle!" Lily said, pointing at a shiny black bug on a leaf. "It has six legs and two wings. Do you think it can fly?"
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it can, but it is too lazy to try. It just sits on the leaf all day and does nothing." Ben said, looking at the beetle with curiosity.
+
+"Maybe it is not lazy, Ben. Maybe it is busy. Maybe it has a lot of things to do, like finding food, or making a home, or discussing with other beetles." Lily said, imagining what the beetle's life was like.
+
+"Discussing with other beetles? What do you mean, Lily? How can beetles discuss? They don't talk like us." Ben said, laughing.
+
+"Maybe they do, Ben. Maybe they have their own language, and their own stories, and their own jokes. Maybe they are very smart and funny, and we just don't understand them." Lily said, smiling.
+
+"Maybe you are right, Lily. Maybe beetles are not lazy, but amazing. Maybe we should try to learn more about them, and be their friends." Ben said, nodding.
+
+"Let's do that, Ben. Let's watch them, and listen to them, and be kind to them. Maybe they will like us, too." Lily said, holding Ben's hand.
+
+"Okay, Lily. Let's do that. But first, let's ask mom if we can have a snack. I'm hungry." Ben said, looking at their mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby.
+
+"Me too, Ben. Let's go." Lily said, following Ben.
+
+They ran to their mom, and told her about the beetle they saw. Their mom smiled, and gave them some cookies and juice. She was happy that they liked to explore and learn new things. She was proud of them.
+Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. They are having fun. But the sun is very hot and bright. It makes their skin red and sore.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cries. "My skin hurts!"
+
+"Me too!" Tom says. "We need to go home and put lotion on."
+
+They run to their mom, who is sitting on a bench. She sees their red skin and frowns.
+
+"Oh, no! You two are sunburned!" she says. "You should have worn a hat and sunscreen. Come on, let's go home and take care of it."
+
+She takes them by the hand and walks to the car. She puts them in their seats and buckles them up. Then she speeds to their house. She wants to help them feel better.
+
+At home, she gives them some water and a snack. Then she gets the lotion from the bathroom. It is cool and white and smells nice. She rubs it gently on their skin.
+
+"Does that feel better?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, mom, thank you!" Lila and Tom say. They smile and hug her. They are grateful for her love and care.
+
+They lie down on the couch and watch a movie. They are still a little sore, but they are happy. They have learned a lesson. Next time, they will wear a hat and sunscreen when they play in the sun.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today is very hot. They want to cool down.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a fan!" Anna says. She shows him a paper fan with flowers on it. She waves it in front of her face.
+
+"Wow, Anna, your fan is pretty!" Ben says. He feels the air from the fan. He likes it.
+
+"Can I carry your fan, Anna?" Ben asks. He wants to try it.
+
+"OK, Ben, you can carry my fan. But be careful. Don't break it." Anna says. She gives him the fan.
+
+Ben carries the fan. He waves it in front of his face. He feels cool. He smiles.
+
+"Thank you, Anna. Your fan is jolly!" Ben says. He gives the fan back to Anna.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben. You are jolly, too!" Anna says. She takes the fan.
+
+They hug. They are happy. They play in the park. They share the fan. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing with a big ball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they bounced the ball very high and it went over the fence. Then they had to run and get it back.
+
+One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a spring. It was shiny and curly and had a hook at each end. Lily and Ben wondered what it was for. They decided to try it with their ball.
+
+They hooked one end of the spring to the fence and the other end to the ball. Then they pulled the ball back and let it go. The ball flew in the air with the spring. It bounced higher and higher and higher. Lily and Ben laughed and clapped.
+
+But then something bad happened. The ball bounced so high that it got stuck in a tree. The spring was still attached to it. Lily and Ben could not reach it. They were very upset.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Lily shouted.
+
+"Give it back!" Ben cried.
+
+But the ball did not come down. It stayed in the tree. Lily and Ben did not know what to do. They looked around for help.
+
+They saw a man walking his dog. He had a big hat and a long coat. He looked kind. Lily and Ben ran to him.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Lily said. "Can you help us? Our ball is in the tree. We can't get it down."
+
+The man looked at the tree. He saw the ball and the spring. He smiled.
+
+"That's a clever idea," he said. "But I think you need a ladder to get it down. I have one in my car. Wait here, I'll be right back."
+
+Lily and Ben thanked the man. They waited for him to come back with the ladder. They hoped he could get their ball and their spring. They did not want to lose them. They liked to bounce.
+Lily and Max were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food with pots and pans and spoons. They also liked to wear aprons and hats like real chefs.
+
+One day, they decided to make a cake for their mom. They found some flour and sugar and eggs and milk in the cupboard and fridge. They mixed them all together in a big bowl. They poured the batter into a cake pan and put it in the oven. They set the timer for 20 minutes.
+
+While they waited, they heard a loud roar outside. They looked out the window and saw a fierce lion in the backyard. It had big teeth and claws and a mane. It looked hungry and angry. They were scared and ran to the living room.
+
+"Mom, mom, there's a lion outside!" they cried.
+
+Mom came from the bedroom and saw the lion. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, kids, that's not a real lion. That's Mr. Brown, our neighbor. He's wearing a lion costume for a party. He's very nice and funny. He likes to make jokes and play with you."
+
+She opened the door and called, "Mr. Brown, come in, please. We have a surprise for you."
+
+Mr. Brown came in and took off his lion mask. He smiled and said, "Hello, Lily and Max. I'm sorry if I scared you. I was just having some fun. What's the surprise?"
+
+Lily and Max said, "We made a cake for you. It's in the kitchen. Come and see."
+
+They led Mr. Brown to the kitchen and showed him the cake. It was golden and fluffy and smelled good. They put some candles and sprinkles on top. They sang, "Happy birthday, Mr. Brown. We hope you like our cake."
+
+Mr. Brown was very happy and touched. He said, "Thank you, Lily and Max. You are very sweet and kind. This is the best birthday gift ever. Can I have a slice?"
+
+They said, "Of course. You can have the first slice. We'll have some too."
+
+They cut the cake and ate it together. They laughed and talked and had a good time. They forgot about the lion and the oven and the timer. They were just happy to be friends.
+Lily and Ben were hungry after playing in the park. They wanted to eat a sandwich, but they had no money. They saw a man selling sandwiches from a cart. The sandwiches looked yummy, but they were expensive.
+
+"Can we have a sandwich, please?" Lily asked the man.
+
+"Sure, but you have to pay me two coins for each sandwich," the man said.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They had no coins. They felt sad.
+
+"Maybe we can find some coins on the ground," Ben said.
+
+They looked around, but they could not find any coins. They saw a bench under a tree. They were tired.
+
+"Let's nap on the bench," Lily said.
+
+They lay down on the bench and closed their eyes. They dreamed of eating sandwiches.
+
+A lady walked by and saw them. She felt sorry for them. She had a bag of sandwiches that she had bought from the man. She took out two sandwiches and put them next to Lily and Ben.
+
+"Here, have these. They are for you," she said softly.
+
+She walked away and smiled. Lily and Ben opened their eyes and saw the sandwiches. They were surprised and happy.
+
+"Wow, look! Someone gave us sandwiches!" Ben said.
+
+"Thank you, whoever you are!" Lily said.
+
+They ate the sandwiches and felt full. They thanked the lady in their hearts. They napped again and dreamed of playing in the park.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play pretend. They would imagine they were pirates, or astronauts, or superheroes. They had a lot of fun with their toys and costumes.
+
+One day, they found a fake lung in their dad's closet. It was a rubber thing that looked like a big balloon with tubes. They did not know what it was, but they thought it was cool. They decided to use it for their game.
+
+They pretended they were doctors, and the fake lung was a sick patient. They took turns to pump air into it and listen to it with a stethoscope. They made up silly names for the lung, like Mr. Puffy or Mrs. Wheezy.
+
+But they did not know that the fake lung was not a toy. It was a real thing that their dad used for his work. He was a teacher who showed students how lungs work. The fake lung was very delicate and expensive.
+
+When their dad came home, he saw the fake lung on the floor. It was broken and torn. He was very angry and sad. He yelled at Tim and Sam and told them they had ruined his work. He said they had to pay for a new fake lung with their allowance.
+
+Tim and Sam felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not played with the fake lung. They learned that they should not touch things that do not belong to them, and that they should ask before they use something. They also learned that some things are not toys, and that they can be dangerous or harmful. They said sorry to their dad and hugged him. They hoped he would forgive them.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they would fight over toys and books. One day, they were bored and wanted to find something new to do. They saw a big cupboard in the living room that had a lock on it.
+
+"What is in there?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Tom said.
+
+They tried to pull the lock, but it was too hard. They pushed and pulled, but it did not move. They started to argue.
+
+"It's my turn to try," Lily said.
+
+"No, it's mine. You had it first," Tom said.
+
+They both grabbed the lock and pulled in different directions. They fought and fought, until they heard a loud snap. The lock broke and the cupboard door opened. They looked inside and saw a lot of old and dusty things. There were clothes, books, pictures, and toys. They were not very interesting.
+
+"Is this all?" Lily said.
+
+"What a boring cupboard," Tom said.
+
+They felt disappointed and sad. They wished they had not fought over the lock. They looked at each other and said sorry.
+
+"Let's go and play with our own toys and books," Lily said.
+
+"OK. And let's not fight anymore," Tom said.
+
+They hugged and went to their room. They learned that fighting is not fun and that they should share and be kind. They also learned that sometimes the best things are not hidden in cupboards, but in their own hearts.
+Tim and Jen were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do. They saw a big bowl on the table. It was full of colorful fish.
+
+"Wow, look at the fish!" Tim said. "They are so pretty and shiny. Can we play with them?"
+
+"I don't know," Jen said. "Mom said they are her pets and we should not touch them. They need water to live."
+
+"But they look so sad in the bowl," Tim said. "Maybe they want to swim in the bathtub. Or the sink. Or the toilet. Let's release them and make them happy."
+
+Jen was not sure, but she wanted to make Tim happy. She nodded and helped him carry the bowl to the bathroom. They poured the fish into the bathtub and watched them splash around.
+
+"See, they are happy now," Tim said. "They have more space and more water. They are free."
+
+Jen smiled, but she felt a little guilty. She hoped Mom would not be angry. She heard a noise outside the door. It was Mom.
+
+"Tim, Jen, what are you doing in there?" Mom asked. "I heard water running. Are you taking a bath?"
+
+Tim and Jen looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They heard Mom open the door and gasp.
+
+"Tim, Jen, what have you done?" Mom cried. "You released my fish! They are not happy, they are dying! They need special water and food and air. You killed them!"
+
+Tim and Jen felt very bad. They saw the fish lying still on the bottom of the bathtub. They were not shiny anymore. They were gray and dull. They wished they had not touched the bowl. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they could make the fish alive again. But it was too late.
+Tim and Lily are in school. They like to draw on the blackboard with chalk. They make flowers, stars, and animals. They are happy.
+
+But then, a big boy comes in. He is mean. He says, "This is my blackboard. Go away, or I will scare you." He takes the chalk and erases their drawings. He makes a scary face and a loud noise. He laughs.
+
+Tim and Lily are sad and scared. They run to their teacher. They say, "Teacher, teacher, help us. The big boy is mean. He erased our drawings and scared us."
+
+The teacher is angry. She goes to the big boy. She says, "That is not nice. You should not erase other people's drawings. You should not scare them. You should say sorry and share the blackboard."
+
+The big boy is ashamed. He says, "Sorry, Tim and Lily. I was wrong. Can I draw with you?"
+
+Tim and Lily are kind. They say, "Yes, you can. But you have to be nice and gentle."
+
+They draw together on the blackboard. They make a big rainbow and write their names. They are friends. They are happy. The blackboard is perfect.
+Sara loves to play with her dolls. She has a big box of dolls and clothes and shoes. She likes to dress them up and make them talk. Sometimes she invites her friends to play with her dolls too.
+
+One day, Sara decides to have a tea party with her dolls. She sets up a small table and chairs in her room. She puts a teapot and cups and plates on the table. She also brings some cookies and fruits from the kitchen. She invites her dolls to sit down and have some tea.
+
+"Hello, dolls," Sara says. "Welcome to my tea party. I am your host, Sara. Would you like some tea?" She pours some water from the teapot into the cups. She pretends it is hot and tasty tea. She gives each doll a cup and a plate. She also gives them some cookies and fruits. "Here you go, dolls. Enjoy your tea and snacks. You are my special guests."
+
+Sara's mom watches her from the door. She smiles and thinks how cute and creative Sara is. She is proud of her daughter. She decides to join the tea party too. She knocks on the door and asks, "May I come in, Sara?"
+
+"Of course, mom," Sara says. "You can join my tea party. I have a seat for you. Here is your cup and plate. Do you like tea, mom?"
+

+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a squirrel on a tree. The squirrel had a big nut in its mouth. It looked at them with its black eyes.
+
+"Look, a squirrel!" Tom said. "It has a nut. I want the nut."
+
+Tom ran to the tree. He tried to climb it, but he was too small. He got angry. He kicked the tree with his foot. The squirrel got scared. It dropped the nut and ran away.
+
+"Tom, don't kick the tree!" Mia said. "That is not nice. You scared the squirrel. And you hurt your foot."
+
+Tom looked at his foot. It was red and dirty. He felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, squirrel. I was silly. I don't need the nut. I have you."
+
+Mia smiled. She gave Tom a hug. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. Let's play something else. Look, there is a swing. Do you want to swing with me?"
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, I want to swing with you. You are my best friend."
+
+They walked to the swing. They forgot about the nut and the squirrel. They had fun. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big dog with no name. The dog was filthy and had many fleas. Ben and Lily felt sorry for the dog and wanted to help him.
+
+They walked to the dog and gave him some food and water. The dog wagged his tail and licked their faces. Ben and Lily smiled and decided to name him Spot. They thought Spot was a good name for a dog with many spots.
+
+They walked to their homes and asked their moms if they could keep Spot. Their moms said no, because Spot was filthy and had many fleas. They said Spot needed a bath and a vet. Ben and Lily were sad and did not want to leave Spot alone.
+
+They walked back to the dog and told him they were sorry. They said they loved him but they could not keep him. They said they would find him a good home. The dog looked sad and whined.
+
+They walked to the park and saw a sign that said "Lost Dog". The sign had a picture of Spot and a phone number. Ben and Lily were happy and called the number. A man answered and said he was Spot's owner. He said he had been looking for Spot for a long time. He said he was very grateful to Ben and Lily for finding him.
+
+He walked to the park and met Ben and Lily and Spot. He hugged them and thanked them. He said he would take Spot to the bath and the vet. He said he would give them a reward. Ben and Lily said they did not want a reward. They said they were happy to help Spot and his owner. They said they were glad Spot had a home.
+
+The man smiled and said they were very kind and generous. He said they had a good heart. He said they could visit Spot anytime. Ben and Lily nodded and said goodbye to Spot. They walked to their homes and felt proud and happy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Helping others is a good thing to do. You can make new friends and feel good about yourself. You can also learn to care for animals and respect their owners.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse. They pretended that the dolls were their family and friends, and made up stories about them.
+
+One day, they decided to have a tea party with the dolls. They set up a small table and chairs, and brought some juice and cookies from the kitchen. They poured the juice into tiny cups and gave them to the dolls. They also gave them names and voices.
+
+"This is Mommy," said Mia, holding a doll with long hair and a dress. "She is very nice and pretty. She likes to read and cook."
+
+"And this is Daddy," said Ben, holding a doll with a suit and a bald head. "He is very smart and strong. He likes to work and play."
+
+They made the dolls talk to each other and to them. They asked them questions and told them jokes. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Mia noticed something. She looked at Ben's doll and said, "Hey, why is your Daddy bald? Where is his hair?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He remembered that his real Daddy had hair, but he also remembered that he had seen some men who were bald. He said, "Some Daddies are bald. It means they have no hair on their head. It's okay. They are still Daddies."
+
+Mia nodded. She said, "Okay. I guess some Daddies are bald. But I like our Daddy better. He has hair."
+
+Ben agreed. He said, "Me too. I like our Daddy better. He has hair and he is very nice."
+
+They hugged their dolls and each other. They said, "We love our Daddy. He is the best Daddy in the world."
+
+They finished their tea party and cleaned up. They put the dolls back in the dollhouse and went to find their real Mommy and Daddy. They wanted to tell them how much they loved them and how much fun they had. They also wanted to mention that some Daddies were bald, but they liked their Daddy better. They thought that would make him happy.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had a big wardrobe where they kept their clothes and toys. Sometimes they pretended that the wardrobe was a magic door to another world.
+
+One day, their mom told them that they had to move to a new house. She said they could not take the wardrobe with them. Anna and Ben were very sad. They did not want to leave their room and their wardrobe.
+
+"Mom, please, can we keep the wardrobe?" Anna asked.
+
+"I'm sorry, honey, but it's too big and heavy. We have to send it to someone else who needs it," mom said.
+
+"Who will get our wardrobe?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know, maybe another family with children who like to play," mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben hugged their wardrobe and said goodbye. They hoped that it would find a good home. They packed their clothes and toys in boxes and bags. They wondered if they would ever see their wardrobe again.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. One day, they saw a big net on the grass. They did not know what it was for. They thought it was a fun thing to play with.
+
+They ran to the net and picked it up. They threw it over each other and laughed. They pretended to be fish or birds caught in the net. They did not see the man who put the net there. He was hiding behind a tree. He was a bad man. He wanted to catch animals and sell them.
+
+The man saw Tom and Lily playing with his net. He was angry. He came out of his hiding place and ran towards them. He had a big stick in his hand. He shouted at them to leave his net alone. Tom and Lily were scared. They tried to run away, but the net was tangled around them. They could not move.
+
+The man reached them and grabbed the net. He lifted it up and threw it over his shoulder. He did not care that Tom and Lily were inside. He walked away with them. He wanted to sell them too.
+
+Tom and Lily cried and screamed. They did not know where he was taking them. They did not know what he would do to them. They wished they had never played with the unknown net. They wished they had stayed away from the bad man. They wished they could go back to the park and their mom and dad. But it was too late. The man had caught them and they could not escape. They heard him roar with laughter as he walked away. They were very sad and afraid. The end.
+Tom and Anna liked to play pirate in the park. They had a big box that was their ship, and they wore hats and eye patches. They pretended to sail on the sea and look for treasure.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a red shirt and a big smile. He came to their ship and said, "Hello, can I play with you?"
+
+Tom and Anna looked at each other. They did not know the boy. He was unknown. They did not want to share their ship and their treasure. They said, "No, you can't play with us. This is our ship. Go away!"
+
+The boy was sad. He said, "But I like pirates. I have a sword and a map. I can help you find more treasure."
+
+Tom and Anna did not listen. They said, "No, no, no. You are not a pirate. You are a stranger. We don't like strangers. Go away!"
+
+The boy turned to leave. He was very sad. He walked to the swings and sat down. He looked at his sword and his map. He wished he had friends to play with.
+
+But then, he saw something. He saw a big dog running towards the ship. The dog was angry and loud. It barked and growled. It wanted to bite the box and the hats and the eye patches.
+
+Tom and Anna were scared. They did not know what to do. They screamed and cried. They wanted to run away, but they were trapped in the box.
+
+The boy saw them. He felt sorry for them. He forgot that they were mean to him. He wanted to help them. He grabbed his sword and ran to the ship. He shouted, "Don't worry, I will save you!"
+
+He waved his sword at the dog. He made a brave noise. He said, "Go away, dog. You are not a pirate. You are a bad dog. Go away!"
+
+The dog was surprised. It saw the sword and the boy. It was afraid. It stopped barking and growling. It turned and ran away.
+
+Tom and Anna saw the boy. They saw that he saved them. They felt ashamed. They said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are a good boy. You are a hero. You are a pirate."
+
+The boy smiled. He said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome. You are good too. You are pirates. Can I play with you?"
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They said, "Yes, yes, yes. You can play with us. You can share our ship and our treasure. What is your name?"
+
+The boy said, "My name is Ben. What is yours?"
+
+Tom and Anna said, "We are Tom and Anna. Nice to meet you, Ben."
+
+They all smiled. They became friends. They played pirate in the park. They had fun. They found more treasure. They were happy.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were heroes and villains. Tim had a stick that he used as a weapon. Lily had a scarf that she used to wrap around her neck or her arm.
+
+"Ha ha, I will catch you, Lily!" Tim said, running after her with his stick.
+
+"No, you won't, Tim! I am too fast for you!" Lily said, dodging his swings.
+
+They ran around the trees and the bushes, laughing and shouting. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Tim tripped on a rock and fell down. He scraped his knee and it hurt a lot. He started to cry.
+
+Lily heard him and ran to him. She saw his knee was bleeding. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"Are you okay, Tim?" she asked, kneeling beside him.
+
+"It hurts, Lily. It hurts a lot." Tim said, sobbing.
+
+Lily took off her scarf and wrapped it around his knee. She hoped it would make him feel better.
+
+"There, there. It's okay, Tim. I will help you." she said, hugging him.
+
+Tim felt her hug and her scarf. He felt a little better. He stopped crying.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are very nice." he said, smiling.
+
+"You're welcome, Tim. You are my friend." she said, smiling back.
+
+They got up and walked to the house. They held hands and talked. They felt comfortable and happy. They were still heroes and villains, but they were also friends.
+Anna loved to imagine. She liked to pretend she was a princess, a pirate, a fairy, or anything else she could think of. She had a lot of toys and books to help her imagine, but sometimes she liked to use things she found around the house.
+
+One day, she saw a big bowl of peaches on the kitchen table. They were new peaches that her mom had bought at the market. They looked juicy and sweet, and Anna wanted to try one. But she also had an idea. She took one peach and ran to her room.
+
+She put the peach on her pillow and said, "Hello, Mr. Peach. You are my new friend. Do you want to play with me?" She imagined that the peach had a face and a voice, and that it could talk to her. She made up stories about where the peach came from, and what adventures they could have together.
+
+"Hi, Anna. I'm happy to be your friend. You are very nice and funny. I came from a faraway land, where there are many trees and flowers and animals. Do you want to go there with me?" the peach said.
+
+"Yes, please. That sounds wonderful. How can we go there?" Anna asked.
+
+"We can use your magic carpet. It's under your bed. Come on, let's go!" the peach said.
+
+Anna was excited. She pulled out an old blanket from under her bed and spread it on the floor. She put the peach on the blanket and climbed on. She held the peach in her arms and said, "Ready, Mr. Peach?"
+
+"Ready, Anna. Let's fly!" the peach said.
+
+Anna closed her eyes and imagined that the blanket was a magic carpet, and that it lifted them up in the air. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smelled the peaches and the flowers. She heard the birds and the bees. She smiled and laughed. She and Mr. Peach had a lot of fun. They were the best of friends.
+Lily and Ben are twins who like to watch TV. They watch different shows on different channels. Lily likes to watch cartoons with animals and Ben likes to watch games with cars. Sometimes they fight over the remote control and switch the channels.
+
+One day, their mom said, "You have watched enough TV for today. It is time to play outside." But Lily and Ben did not want to stop watching TV. They said, "No, mom, we want to watch more TV. Please, mom, just one more show."
+
+Mom said, "No, you have to quit watching TV now. TV is not good for your eyes and your brain. You need to play and exercise and learn new things. Come on, let's go outside and have some fun."
+
+Lily and Ben followed mom outside, but they were not happy. They saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a ball. Mom said, "Look, there are so many things to do outside. You can slide, swing, dig and kick. You can also make new friends and share your toys. Isn't that better than watching TV?"
+
+Lily and Ben decided to try the slide first. They ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. But when they reached the top, they started to argue again. Lily said, "I want to go first." Ben said, "No, I want to go first." They pushed and pulled each other and did not let go of the slide.
+
+Mom saw them and said, "Stop it, Lily and Ben. You are being very competitive and rude. You have to take turns and be nice to each other. If you can't play together, you can't play at all. Do you want to go back inside and watch TV?"
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to go back inside and watch TV. They realized that they were being silly and selfish. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben. We don't want to fight anymore. We want to play together and have fun." They hugged each other and smiled.
+
+Mom said, "That's good, Lily and Ben. I'm proud of you. You learned a valuable lesson today. TV is not as important as playing and sharing and being kind. Now, go and enjoy the slide and the other toys. And don't forget to say hello to the other kids."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom." They slid down the slide and laughed. They swung on the swing and sang. They dug in the sandbox and made a castle. They kicked the ball and scored a goal. They also made new friends and shared their toys. They had a lot of fun outside and forgot about TV. They were happy and mom was happy too.
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to make different shapes with them. They made a house, a car, a tower and a star.
+
+"Look at my star, Lily!" Ben said. "It has five points. It is the best shape."
+
+"No, my house is the best shape," Lily said. "It has a roof and a door and a window. It is cozy and pretty."
+
+They started to argue about whose shape was better. They did not want to share their blocks. They did not want to play together.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the blocks and the shapes and the angry faces.
+
+"Why are you fighting, Lily and Ben?" she asked. "You have so many blocks. You can make many shapes. You can play nicely and have fun."
+
+"But he said his star is better than my house!" Lily said.
+
+"And she said her house is better than my star!" Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled and shook her head. She thought they were being foolish. She had an idea.
+
+"Why don't you try to make a new shape together?" she suggested. "You can use both your blocks and see what you can create. Maybe you will find a shape that you both like."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They thought about mom's idea. They decided to give it a try. They stopped fighting and started to work together. They used their blocks to make a new shape. It was a big circle with a smaller circle inside. It looked like a donut.
+
+"Wow, this is a cool shape!" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily agreed. "I like it. It is round and sweet."
+
+They showed their shape to mom. She was happy to see them playing nicely. She praised them for their creativity and cooperation.
+
+"See, you can have more fun when you share and work together," she said. "Now, why don't you settle down and have a snack? I have some real donuts for you."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and hugged mom. They thanked her for the donuts and the blocks. They settled down and enjoyed their snack. They learned a lesson about shapes and friendship. They were not foolish anymore.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side.
+
+"Let's go to the hill!" Anna says.
+
+"OK, let's go!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the hill and start to climb. They use their hands and feet to go up. The hill is steep and high. They have to stop and rest many times.
+
+"I'm tired," Anna says.
+
+"Me too," Ben says.
+
+But they keep going. They want to reach the top. They see the sky and the clouds and the birds. They feel the wind and the sun on their faces.
+
+"We did it!" Anna says.
+
+"We did it!" Ben repeats.
+
+They look at each other and smile. They are happy and proud. They sit on the hill and look around. They see their house and their yard and their toys. They see the road and the cars and the people. They see the trees and the flowers and the animals. They see a lot of things.
+
+"Wow, look at all the things!" Anna says.
+
+"Wow, look at all the things!" Ben repeats.
+
+They point and name the things they see. They learn new words. They have fun. They are friends. They like the hill.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big tree with many leaves and branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky.
+
+They ran to the tree and found a sign that said: "Do not climb. Tree is old and weak." Lily and Tom did not know what the sign meant. They thought it was a harmless sign. They ignored the sign and started to climb the tree.
+
+They climbed higher and higher, feeling happy and brave. They reached a big branch and sat on it. They looked around and saw many things. They saw flowers, cars, dogs and people. They saw a big crack on the branch. They did not know what the crack meant. They thought it was a harmless crack. They ignored the crack and stayed on the branch.
+
+They heard a loud noise and felt the branch shake. They were scared and surprised. The branch broke and fell to the ground. Lily and Tom fell with the branch. They screamed and cried. They landed on the grass and felt pain. They had scratches, bruises and bumps. They wished they had listened to the sign and avoided the crack.
+
+A lady who worked in the park heard the noise and ran to them. She saw Lily and Tom on the ground and the broken branch. She was angry and worried. She said: "What are you doing? Why did you climb the tree? Didn't you see the sign? The sign said the tree is old and weak. The crack said the branch is dangerous. You could have been hurt very badly. You were very foolish and naughty."
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They said: "We are sorry, lady. We did not understand the sign. We did not know the crack was dangerous. We thought they were harmless. We wanted to have fun and see the birds and the sky. We will not climb the tree again. We will be careful and good."
+
+The lady sighed and said: "I am glad you are sorry and learned your lesson. But you should always pay attention to signs and cracks. They are there to warn you and protect you. They are not harmless. They are important. Now come with me. I will take you to the nurse and call your parents. They will be very upset and worried."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and followed the lady. They held hands and walked slowly. They felt sad and sore. They hoped their parents would not be too angry and would forgive them. They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned to respect signs and cracks. They learned that harmless things can be harmful. They learned to be more careful and smart.
+Anna was a big girl who liked to help her mom. She wanted to be a nurse when she grew up, because nurses help people who are sick or hurt. Sometimes, she played with her dolls and pretended they were her patients. She would serve them water, soup, and medicine, and put bandages on their boo-boos.
+
+One day, Anna's mom had to go to the hospital for a check-up. Anna wanted to go with her, but her mom said no. She said Anna had to stay with her grandma, who would take care of her. Anna was sad and angry. She did not want to stay with grandma. She wanted to go to the hospital and help her mom. She said, "I am a big girl. I can go with you. I can be independent."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I know you are a big girl, and I am proud of you. But the hospital is not a place for children. There are many germs and machines and people there. It is not safe or fun. Grandma loves you and she will play with you and read you stories. I will be back soon, I promise."
+
+Anna did not like her mom's answer. She pouted and crossed her arms. She said, "No, I don't want to stay with grandma. I want to go with you. You are not fair."
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "Anna, please don't be rude. Grandma is here to help us. She is very kind and patient. You should be grateful and polite. I love you, but I have to go now. Be a good girl and listen to grandma, okay?"
+
+Anna did not say anything. She turned away and looked at the floor. She felt lonely and mad. She wished she could go to the hospital and be a nurse. She did not want to play with grandma or her dolls. She wanted to be with her mom.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play at the beach. They build sand castles and look for shells. They also sign to each other. Lily and Tom are deaf, but they can talk with their hands.
+
+One day, they see a big boat on the water. It has a red cross on it. Lily signs to Tom, "What is that boat?"
+
+Tom signs back, "I think it is a hospital boat. It helps people who are sick or hurt."
+
+Lily signs, "Why do people get sick or hurt?"
+
+Tom signs, "Sometimes they eat bad food, or fall down, or catch a germ. But we can stay healthy if we eat good food, and be careful, and wash our hands."
+
+Lily signs, "I like good food. I like apples and carrots and cheese. What do you like?"
+
+Tom signs, "I like bananas and bread and milk. And I like ice cream, but not too much."
+
+Lily and Tom smile and nod. They are happy and healthy. They go back to their sand castles and shells. They love the beach.
+Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat an apple. She saw a big basket of apples on the table. She ran to the table and reached for an apple.
+
+But then she heard a loud noise. She turned around and saw a big gray cat. The cat had entered the kitchen through the window. The cat looked at Lily and the apples. The cat wanted to eat an apple too.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not like the cat. She did not want to share the apples. She picked up an apple and threw it at the cat. The cat dodged the apple and hissed at Lily.
+
+Lily ran to the door and called for her mom. Mom came and saw the cat and the apples. Mom shooed the cat away and closed the window. Mom hugged Lily and gave her another apple.
+
+Lily was happy. She ate the apple and thanked her mom. She did not see the cat again. She liked apples, but she did not like cats.
+Tom and Sue were hungry. They went to the garden to find some food. They saw many red berries on a bush. They looked yummy.
+
+"Can we eat these berries?" Sue asked Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are good, maybe they are bad." Tom said.
+
+They picked some berries and smelled them. They smelled sweet. They put them in their mouths and chewed. They tasted sour.
+
+"Yuck! These berries are not good!" Sue said. She spit out the berry.
+
+"Me too! These berries are not good!" Tom said. He spit out the berry too.
+
+They saw a little bird on a tree. The bird was eating some blue berries. The bird looked happy.
+
+"Maybe those berries are good." Sue said.
+
+"Let's try them." Tom said.
+
+They went to the tree and picked some blue berries. They smelled them. They smelled fresh. They put them in their mouths and chewed. They tasted sweet.
+
+"Mmm! These berries are good!" Sue said. She smiled.
+
+"Me too! These berries are good!" Tom said. He smiled too.
+
+They ate more blue berries and shared some with the bird. The bird sang a song. They were happy. They had found some good food.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but they did not like to put them away. Their room was always messy and their mom was always sad.
+
+One day, mom said, "Ben and Lily, it is time for dinner. Please come to the kitchen and wash your hands." But Ben and Lily did not listen. They wanted to play more. They ignored mom and kept playing.
+
+Mom waited for a while, but Ben and Lily did not come. She was angry and worried. She went to their room and saw the mess. She said, "Ben and Lily, this is not good. You did not obey me and you did not tidy your room. You are not getting any dinner tonight. You have to stay in your room and think about what you did."
+
+Ben and Lily were shocked and sad. They realized they had been naughty and rude. They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We love you and we love dinner. Please forgive us and let us eat with you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, but you have to learn to be good and respectful. You have to listen to me and you have to tidy your room. If you do that, I will give you dinner. But you have to do it now."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. We will do it now." They started to pick up their toys and books and put them in their places. They worked hard and fast. They wanted to make mom happy and they wanted to eat dinner.
+
+Soon, their room was tidy and clean. They felt proud and happy. They went to the kitchen and showed mom their room. Mom smiled and said, "Well done, Ben and Lily. You did a great job. I am proud of you and I forgive you. You can have dinner with me now."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you and we love dinner. We learned our lesson. We will always listen to you and we will always tidy our room."
+
+Mom hugged them back and said, "You are welcome, Ben and Lily. I love you and I love dinner too. You are good and smart. You discovered that being good and tidy is better than being naughty and messy."
+
+They all went to the table and enjoyed their dinner. They talked and laughed and had fun. They were a happy family.
+One day, a little boy named Ben went to the zoo with his mom. He liked to see the animals and talk to them. He saw a big elephant with a long trunk. He wanted to touch the trunk, so he ran to the fence.
+
+"Hello, elephant!" he said. "Can I touch your trunk?"
+
+The elephant looked at Ben and shook his head. He did not like strangers touching his trunk. He was angry and scared.
+
+"No, you can't!" he said. "Go away!"
+
+But Ben did not listen. He climbed over the fence and reached for the trunk. The elephant was very mad. He swung his trunk and hit Ben hard. Ben fell to the ground and cried.
+
+"Ben, no!" his mom shouted. She ran to him and picked him up. She was scared and sad. She hugged him and checked if he was hurt.
+
+"Mommy, it hurts!" Ben sobbed. "The elephant was mean to me!"
+
+"Ben, you were naughty!" his mom said. "You should not climb over the fence and touch the elephant. He did not want you to do that. He was afraid of you. You should be grateful that he did not hurt you more. You could have been very sick or dead."
+
+Ben did not understand. He was still angry and hurt. He did not like the elephant or the zoo. He wanted to go home. He did not say sorry to the elephant or his mom. He learned nothing. He was a bad boy.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Rex. Rex is a big, white dog. He is very friendly and likes to run and jump.
+
+One day, Ben and Sam are playing in the yard with Rex. They see their dad coming home from work. He has a bag in his hand. He smiles and says, "Hello, boys. I have a surprise for you. Guess what's in the bag?"
+
+Ben and Sam run to their dad and try to look in the bag. They see something red and brown. They smell something good. They say, "What is it, dad?"
+
+Dad says, "It's steak. I bought some steak for dinner. Do you like steak?"
+
+Ben and Sam nod and say, "Yes, we like steak. Steak is yummy. Can we have some now?"
+
+Dad says, "Not now, boys. We have to cook the steak first. We have to raise the fire and put the steak on the grill. Then we have to wait until it's done. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Ben and Sam say, "Yes, we want to help. Can we raise the fire, dad?"
+
+Dad says, "Sure, you can help me raise the fire. But be careful, boys. Fire is hot. Don't touch the fire. Only touch the stick. The stick is for raising the fire. Can you do that?"
+
+Ben and Sam say, "Yes, we can do that. We can raise the fire with the stick. We are big boys. We can help dad."
+
+Dad says, "That's right, you are big boys. And you are good boys. I'm proud of you. Come on, let's go to the grill and raise the fire. Then we can cook the steak and eat it with Rex. Rex likes steak, too. Don't you, Rex?"
+
+Rex barks and wags his tail. He likes steak, too. He follows dad and the boys to the grill. They raise the fire and cook the steak. They have a nice dinner together. They are happy.
+Tom and Mia were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck. The truck had many colors and pictures. It said "Candy Land".
+
+"Look, Tom, look!" Mia said. "It is a candy truck. Maybe they have candy for us."
+
+Tom and Mia ran to the truck. They saw a man. The man had a big smile and a hat. He said "Hello, kids. Do you want some candy?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Mia said. They loved candy.
+
+The man gave them each a bag. The bag had many kinds of candy. There were lollipops, gummies, chocolates, and more.
+
+"Wow, thank you, mister!" Tom and Mia said. They opened their bags and ate some candy. It was very sweet and yummy.
+
+But then, something strange happened. The candy made them feel wild. They started to jump and run and shout. They threw candy in the air. They made funny faces and noises. They did not listen to anyone.
+
+"Stop, kids, stop!" the man said. "The candy is magic. It makes you wild. You have to calm down."
+
+But Tom and Mia did not stop. They were having too much fun. They ran away from the truck. They went to the park. They played wild games. They scared the birds and the dogs and the other kids.
+
+"Help, help!" the man said. He tried to catch them. But they were too fast and too wild. He did not know what to do.
+
+Tom and Mia did not know that the candy had a secret. The magic did not last forever. After a while, the candy made them feel sleepy. They started to yawn and rub their eyes. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted to rest.
+
+They found a bench. They sat down. They cuddled with their bags of candy. They closed their eyes. They fell asleep.
+
+The man finally found them. He saw them sleeping on the bench. He felt sorry for them. He knew they did not mean to be wild. He took off his hat. He had a big surprise. He was not a man. He was a clown.
+
+He smiled. He said "Shh, shh, shh. It is okay, kids. It is okay. You had a wild adventure. But now it is time to dream. Sweet dreams, Tom and Mia. Sweet dreams."
+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 smooth stones for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+"Look, our snowman is smiling!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, he is very nice. But I am cold. Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the house and knocked on the door. Mom opened it and smiled.
+
+"Wow, you made a beautiful snowman! But you are shivering. Come in, come in. I have some hot chocolate for you," Mom said.
+
+She took their coats and hats and gave them each a mug of warm, sweet drink. They sat on the couch and sipped their chocolate. They felt cozy and warm.
+
+"Mom, can we watch the clock?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. Why do you want to watch the clock?" Mom asked.
+
+"Because we want to see when it is time for the snowman to go to sleep," Ben said.
+
+Mom laughed. "The snowman does not sleep, silly. He stays outside all the time."
+
+"But he will be cold and lonely," Lily said.
+
+"No, he will be fine. He has his hat and scarf and the stars to keep him company. And he will always be your friend," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They finished their chocolate and hugged Mom. Then they went to the window and waved to the snowman. He seemed to wave back with his stick arms.
+
+"Good night, snowman. We love you," they said.
+
+"Good night, Lily and Ben. I love you too," the snowman said in his head. He was happy.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with toys. Tom had a big truck that he loved very much. Lily had a doll that she dressed up every day. One day, Lily asked Tom if she could play with his truck.
+
+"Please, Tom, can I lend your truck for a little while? I want to make a dream come true. I want to pretend that I am driving to the moon and back." Lily said.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He did not want to share his truck. He thought it was too difficult to let go of his favorite toy. He said, "No, Lily, you cannot lend my truck. It is mine and only mine. You can play with your doll. Go away."
+
+Lily felt sad and hurt. She did not understand why Tom was so mean. She went to play with her doll, but she did not have much fun. She still wanted to play with the truck and go to the moon and back.
+
+The next day, Tom saw Lily playing with her doll again. He felt bored with his truck. He wanted to try something new. He said, "Lily, can I lend your doll for a little while? I want to make a dream come true. I want to pretend that I am a doctor and I can heal your doll."
+
+Lily looked at Tom. She remembered how he refused to share his truck with her. She felt angry and wanted to say no. But then she thought, maybe Tom learned his lesson. Maybe he was sorry for being mean. Maybe he wanted to be a good friend. She said, "Okay, Tom, you can lend my doll for a little while. But you have to be careful and gentle. And you have to give it back when I ask."
+
+Tom was happy. He took the doll and pretended to be a doctor. He had fun and learned new things. He also saw how much Lily loved her doll. He felt sorry for being mean to her. He said, "Thank you, Lily, for lending me your doll. You are a good friend. I am sorry for not lending you my truck. Do you want to play with it now? We can both go to the moon and back."
+
+Lily smiled. She was glad that Tom changed his mind. She said, "Yes, Tom, I would love to play with your truck. You are a good friend too. I am happy that you said sorry. We can both make our dreams come true."
+
+Tom and Lily played with the truck and the doll. They shared and took turns. They had fun and learned to be kind. They realized that it was not difficult to lend and borrow. It was easy to be friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll and Tom had a small car. Lily liked to be bossy and tell Tom what to do.
+
+"Tom, you have to make your car go fast and crash into the wall. Then my doll will come and help you," Lily said.
+
+"But I don't want to crash my car. I like my car. It is shiny and red," Tom said.
+
+"Too bad. You have to do what I say. I am the boss of this game," Lily said. She grabbed Tom's car and threw it at the wall. The car broke into pieces and Tom started to cry.
+
+Lily laughed and said, "See? I told you. Now my doll will come and fix your car. She is a doctor and she has tape."
+
+Lily took her doll and went to the wall. She picked up some of the pieces of Tom's car and tried to stick them together with tape. But the tape was not strong enough and the pieces fell off again.
+
+Lily got angry and said, "This tape is no good. It is not sticky. I need something better."
+
+She looked around and saw a pair of scissors on the table. She had an idea. She took the scissors and said, "I know. I will use these. They are sharp. They can cut the tape and make it sticky."
+
+She ran to the wall with the scissors in her hand. But she was not careful and she tripped over a rug. The scissors flew out of her hand and hit Tom in the eye. Tom screamed and blood came out of his eye. Lily was scared and dropped her doll.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the noise and came running. They saw Tom and Lily and the mess. They were shocked and angry. They called an ambulance and took Tom to the hospital. Lily had to stay home and face the consequences. She was in big trouble and felt very sorry. She wished she had not been so bossy and mean. She hoped Tom would be okay. She learned a hard lesson.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with fire. They had a box of matches that they hid under their bed. One day, when their mom was out, they decided to light some matches and watch them burn. They thought it was fun and pretty.
+
+"Look, Ben, this one is red and yellow!" Lily said, holding a match near her face.
+
+"Don't be silly, Lily, you have to blow it out before it burns you!" Ben said, grabbing the match from her hand and blowing it out. He threw it on the floor and lit another one.
+
+They did not see that the match on the floor had landed on a paper. The paper caught fire and soon the fire spread to the curtains and the carpet. The room was filled with smoke and flames.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben screamed, running to the door. They tried to open it, but it was locked. They had forgotten to unlock it when they started playing with fire.
+
+Their mom came home and smelled the smoke. She ran to their room and saw the fire. She quickly got a key and opened the door. She grabbed Lily and Ben and carried them out of the room. She called the firemen to put out the fire.
+
+Lily and Ben were coughing and crying. They were scared and sorry. Their mom hugged them and said, "Are you okay, my darlings? You are very lucky that I came home in time. Do you know what you did was very wrong and dangerous?"
+
+"Yes, mom, we are sorry. We won't play with fire again. We were stupid and curious." Lily and Ben said.
+
+Their mom gave them a lecture about fire safety. She told them that fire can burn things and people and cause a lot of damage. She told them that they should never play with matches or lighters or candles or anything that can make fire. She told them that they should always listen to her and follow the rules. She told them that she loved them and wanted them to be safe and happy.
+
+Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They apologized to their mom and promised to be good and careful. They realized that their mom was charming and wise. They hugged her and thanked her for saving them. They never played with fire again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big basket on a bench. The basket had many fruits and breads inside. Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat some of the food.
+
+"Let's take some apples and bananas," Lily said. "They look yummy."
+
+"No, we can't do that," Ben said. "The basket belongs to someone else. It is not nice to take things that are not ours."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She ran to the basket and grabbed an apple. She took a big bite. Then she made a face. The apple was smelly and rotten.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily said. "This apple is bad. It tastes like dirt."
+
+She threw the apple on the ground. Then she reached for a banana. But before she could peel it, she heard a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, you! What are you doing with my basket?" It was an old man. He was the owner of the basket. He was angry. He walked to Lily and Ben. He slapped Lily's hand and took the banana from her.
+
+"Ow!" Lily said. "That hurt. Why did you slap me?"
+
+"Because you are a naughty girl," the old man said. "You are stealing my food. This is my basket. I was going to give it to the poor people. But you ruined it. Now the food is smelly and dirty. You should be ashamed of yourself."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They knew they did something wrong. They said sorry to the old man. They helped him clean the basket. They learned a lesson. They never took things that were not theirs again.
+Tim liked to play hockey with his friends. He had a stick and a puck and he wore a helmet and gloves. He was good at hitting the puck and scoring goals. He was proud of his hockey skills.
+
+One day, he went to the park with his friends to play hockey. There was a big ice rink where they could skate and play. Tim was excited and he wanted to show off his skills. He skated fast and tried to hit the puck hard. But he was careless and he did not look where he was going.
+
+He bumped into a girl who was also skating on the ice. She fell down and dropped her hat and scarf. She was not happy. She looked at Tim and said, "Hey, watch where you are going! You are so careless! You made me fall and you messed up my hat and scarf!"
+
+Tim felt bad. He did not mean to bump into the girl. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I did not see you. Are you okay? Here, let me help you." He picked up her hat and scarf and gave them to her. He helped her get up and asked if she was hurt.
+
+The girl was not hurt, but she was still angry. She said, "You should be more careful. You could have hurt me or yourself. You should not play hockey here. This is not a hockey rink. This is a skating rink. Go play hockey somewhere else!"
+
+Tim felt embarrassed. He did not know that this was not a hockey rink. He thought he could play hockey anywhere. He looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him. He felt his face turn red. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I did not know. I will go play hockey somewhere else." He took his stick and puck and skated away. He felt sad and ashamed. He wished he had been more careful. He learned a lesson that day. He learned to be more careful and to respect other people's space. He hoped the girl would forgive him. He hoped his friends would not laugh at him. He hoped he could still play hockey and have fun.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with trains. They have many trains and tracks in their room. They make a big station with bridges and tunnels. They are happy.
+
+One day, Ben finds a hat in his closet. It is a red hat with a star. It is a hat for train drivers. Ben wants to wear the hat. He puts it on his head and looks in the mirror. He smiles.
+
+"Look, Sam, I am a train driver!" Ben says. He runs to the station with the hat. "I can drive any train I want!"
+
+Sam sees the hat. He likes the hat too. He wants to wear the hat. He says to Ben, "Can I try the hat? It is a fine hat. Please, Ben, let me try."
+
+Ben shakes his head. He does not want to share the hat. He says to Sam, "No, Sam, this is my hat. I found it. You cannot wear it. Go away, Sam. I do not want to play with you."
+
+Sam feels sad and angry. He does not like Ben anymore. He thinks Ben is mean. He says to Ben, "Fine, Ben, I do not want to play with you either. You are a bad friend. You are selfish. I will play with my own trains."
+
+Sam takes his trains and tracks and leaves the room. He goes to the living room and makes a new station. He does not talk to Ben. He does not look at Ben.
+
+Ben stays in the room with the hat and the station. He drives the trains with the hat. He thinks he is happy. But he is not. He is lonely. He misses Sam. He wants to play with Sam. He wants to say sorry to Sam. But he does not know how. He does not know what to do. He cries. He wishes he did not wear the hat. He wishes he shared the hat. He wishes he was a good friend. But it is too late. Sam does not want to be his friend anymore. Ben has lost his friend. He has lost his fun. He has lost his smile. He has only the hat. The hat that made him lose everything. The end.
+Lily and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a chubby clown who was making balloons for the kids. Lily wanted a pink balloon, and Ben wanted a blue one.
+
+"Can we have a balloon, mom?" they asked.
+
+"Sure, go and ask the clown nicely," mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the clown and waited in line. When it was their turn, they said, "Hello, Mr. Clown, can we have a balloon, please?"
+
+The clown smiled and said, "Of course, what kind of balloon do you want?"
+
+Lily said, "I want a pink balloon, please."
+
+Ben said, "I want a blue balloon, please."
+
+The clown nodded and started to make the balloons. He twisted and turned the rubber and made a pink flower for Lily and a blue dog for Ben.
+
+"Here you go, kids, enjoy your balloons," the clown said, handing them the balloons.
+
+"Thank you, Mr. Clown, they are very pretty," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Mr. Clown, they are very cool," Ben said.
+
+They hugged the clown and ran back to their mom.
+
+But on the way, a big wind came and blew their balloons away. Lily and Ben cried and chased after their balloons, but they were too fast and too high.
+
+"Mom, mom, our balloons are gone, help us, please," they sobbed.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, sweeties, sometimes the wind is naughty and takes things away. But don't worry, we can get you new balloons another day."
+
+Lily and Ben sniffed and nodded. They were sad, but they knew mom was right. They said goodbye to the clown and thanked him again. Then they went home and had some cookies and milk. They felt better and played with their toys. They hoped to see the clown again and get new balloons.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play on the farm. They had a big red truck that they drove around the fields. One day, they saw a big black bull in a pen. The bull looked angry and loud.
+
+"Let's spray the bull with water!" Ben said. He was eager to have some fun. He took a hose from the truck and turned it on.
+
+"No, Ben, that's a bad idea!" Sam said. He was scared of the bull. He knew the bull could hurt them. "The bull will get mad and chase us!"
+
+But Ben did not listen to Sam. He sprayed the bull with water. The water hit the bull's face and made him wet. The bull snorted and shook his head. He did not like the water. He was very mad.
+
+The bull saw Ben and Sam in the truck. He ran towards them with his horns. He wanted to make them stop. He wanted to make them pay.
+
+"Drive, Sam, drive!" Ben shouted. He was sorry he sprayed the bull. He was afraid of the bull. He wanted to get away.
+
+But Sam could not drive fast enough. The bull was faster and stronger. He caught up with the truck and hit it with his horns. He made a big hole in the truck. He made the truck stop.
+
+Ben and Sam screamed. They were trapped in the truck. They could not get out. They could not run. They could not hide. The bull was angry and loud. He was ready to hurt them. He was ready to win.
+Lily liked to sing. She had a cute microphone that her dad gave her. She sang all the time, in her room, in the car, in the park. She made up songs about her toys, her friends, her family. She wanted to be a star.
+
+One day, her mom took her to a big store. There were many people and many things. Lily saw a big stage with lights and speakers. She wanted to go there. She pulled her mom's hand and said, "Mom, can I sing on the stage?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, honey, but you have to wait your turn. There are other kids who want to sing too. You have to yield to them."
+
+Lily nodded and waited. She saw a boy sing a song about dinosaurs. She saw a girl sing a song about rainbows. She saw a baby cry and drop the microphone. She clapped for them and said, "Good job!"
+
+Finally, it was her turn. She ran to the stage and grabbed the microphone. She felt excited and nervous. She looked at the people and said, "Hello, I'm Lily and I'm going to sing a song for you. It's a song I made up. It's called 'I Love My Microphone'."
+
+She sang with a loud and happy voice. She sang about how her microphone was her best friend, how it made her feel brave and strong, how it helped her share her dreams. She sang and sang and sang. The people listened and smiled. They liked her song. They liked her voice. They liked her.
+
+When she finished, they clapped and cheered. They said, "Bravo, Lily! You're a star!" Lily felt proud and happy. She bowed and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
+
+She ran back to her mom and hugged her. She said, "Mom, did you hear me? Did you like my song?"
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "I heard you, honey, and I loved your song. You did a great job. You're amazing."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my microphone."
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house with a red door. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Look, there is a key under the mat!" Sara says. She picks up the key and opens the door. "Let's go in!"
+
+Tom is scared. He does not want to go in. He thinks someone lives in the house. "No, Sara, we should not go in. It is not our house. It is wrong."
+
+Sara does not listen. She is curious. She pulls Tom by the hand and goes in. The house is dark and dusty. There are many things on the floor and on the shelves. Sara and Tom look around.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sara says. She finds a shiny necklace with a big stone. She puts it on her neck. "I look like a princess!"
+
+Tom is bored. He does not like the necklace. He sees a book with pictures. He opens the book and looks at the pictures. He likes the book.
+
+Sara and Tom forget about the time. They forget about the key. They forget about the door. They are busy with the things in the house.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is the door. Someone is coming in. It is the owner of the house. He is angry. He sees Sara and Tom. He sees the necklace and the book. He shouts at them.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing in my house? You are thieves! You are bad children! Give me back my things!"
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They try to run away. But they cannot. The door is locked. They left the key under the mat. They are trapped.
+
+The owner of the house is not compassionate. He does not care that Sara and Tom are young and made a mistake. He calls the police. He wants them to go to jail.
+
+Sara and Tom cry. They wish they never went in the house. They wish they listened to Tom. They wish they did not forget the key. They are sorry. But it is too late.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with grass and flowers. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, let's go!" Tom said. He took Lily's hand and they started to run. They ran fast and hard. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They were happy.
+
+They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a pond with ducks and a bridge. They saw a playground with swings and a slide. They saw a black dog with a red collar. The dog was barking and wagging its tail.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Lily said. She liked dogs. She wanted to pet the dog and play with it. She let go of Tom's hand and ran towards the dog.
+
+"Wait, Lily, wait!" Tom said. He was scared. He did not like dogs. He thought the dog was big and loud and mean. He wanted to stay away from the dog. He ran after Lily and tried to catch her.
+
+But Lily was too fast. She reached the dog and bent down to touch it. The dog licked her face and jumped on her. Lily laughed and hugged the dog. She was not scared. She was happy.
+
+"Hi, doggy, hi!" Lily said. She looked at the dog's collar and saw a name. "Your name is Max. You are a good dog, Max."
+
+Tom stopped and watched. He saw that the dog was not mean. He saw that the dog was friendly and playful. He saw that Lily was having fun. He felt silly for being scared. He wanted to join them.
+
+He walked slowly towards the dog and Lily. He smiled and said hello.
+
+"Hi, Tom, hi!" Lily said. She held out her hand and said, "This is Max. He is a nice dog. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+Tom nodded and reached out his hand. He touched the dog's fur and felt how soft and warm it was. The dog licked his hand and wagged its tail. Tom laughed and petted the dog. He was not scared. He was happy.
+
+They played with the dog for a while. They threw a stick and the dog fetched it. They ran and chased the dog and the dog chased them. They rolled on the grass and the dog licked their faces. They had fun.
+
+They heard a whistle and saw a man walking towards them. He had a leash in his hand. He was the dog's owner.
+
+"Max, come here, boy!" the man said. He smiled and waved at Tom and Lily. "Hello, kids. I see you've met my dog. He likes to play with you."
+
+"Hello, sir," Tom and Lily said. They got up and said goodbye to the dog. "We like your dog. He is a good dog. His name is Max."
+
+"Yes, he is a good dog. And his name is Max. He likes you too. Maybe we'll see you again sometime," the man said. He put the leash on the dog and said, "Come on, Max, let's go home."
+
+"Bye, Max, bye!" Tom and Lily said. They waved at the dog and the man. They watched them walk away.
+
+They looked at each other and smiled. They had made a new friend. They felt happy.
+
+They held hands and ran down the hill. They wanted to play some more. They had a lot of fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the park. They see many leaves on the ground. Some leaves are red, some are yellow, some are brown.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a big red leaf!" Ben says. He holds the leaf in his hand. "It is so pretty and shiny!"
+
+Lily looks at the leaf. She likes it too. She wants to find a red leaf for herself. She looks around, but she only sees regular leaves. Regular leaves are green and small. They are not pretty and shiny.
+
+"I can't find a red leaf, Ben," Lily says. She feels sad. "All the leaves are regular. They are boring."
+
+Ben sees that Lily is sad. He wants to make her happy. He thinks for a moment. Then he has an idea.
+
+"Here, Lily, you can have my red leaf," Ben says. He gives the leaf to Lily. "It is a gift for you. You are my friend."
+
+Lily smiles. She takes the red leaf from Ben. She feels happy. She hugs Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben, you are very kind," Lily says. "You are my friend too. Do you want a regular leaf? I have many."
+
+Ben nods. He likes regular leaves too. He takes a regular leaf from Lily. He hugs her back.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily, you are very sweet," Ben says. "I like regular leaves too. They are not boring. They are fun."
+
+Lily and Ben laugh. They play with the leaves. They make a pile of leaves and jump on it. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They are friends.
+Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls with different dresses and shoes. She likes to make them talk and sing and dance. Sometimes she puts on a show for her mom and dad.
+
+One day, Anna finds a sock on the floor. It is a big sock with stripes and holes. She thinks it looks funny. She puts it on her hand and makes it talk. She says, "Hello, I am Socky. I am a sock puppet. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Anna thinks Socky is very funny. She makes him talk to her dolls. She says, "Hello, dolls. I am Socky. I am a new friend. Can I join your show?" The dolls say, "Yes, Socky. You can join our show. We are glad you are here."
+
+Anna and Socky and the dolls have a lot of fun. They sing and dance and tell jokes. They make mom and dad laugh and clap. Anna is very happy. She says, "Thank you, Socky. You are a good friend. I am glad I found you." Socky says, "You are welcome, Anna. You are a good friend too. I am glad you picked me." They hug and smile. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were going to the park with Mom. They put on their boots and coats because it was raining. Mom gave them each an umbrella to hold.
+
+"Look, Mom, I have a red umbrella!" Lily said.
+
+"And I have a blue one!" Tom said.
+
+They stepped outside and opened their umbrellas. They heard a loud noise. It was a big truck driving by. It splashed water on the road.
+
+"Wow, that was loud!" Lily said.
+
+"It scared me!" Tom said.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it's just a truck. It won't hurt you. Let's go to the park and have some fun."
+
+They stepped on the sidewalk and followed Mom. They saw some puddles on the way. They jumped and splashed in the puddles. They laughed and had fun.
+
+They reached the park and saw some swings and slides. They put their umbrellas down and ran to play. They forgot about the loud truck and the rain. They were happy.
+Lily liked to get post. She liked to see the pictures and words on the cards and letters. She liked to open the envelopes and find surprises. Sometimes she got stickers or sweets or toys. She hoped that today she would get some post.
+
+She ran to the door when she heard the postman knock. She said hello and smiled. The postman gave her a big yellow envelope. He said it was for her. He said it was from her grandma. He said it was interesting. Lily thanked him and waved goodbye.
+
+She ran to the sofa and sat down. She opened the envelope carefully. She saw a card with a picture of a cake and candles. She saw the words "Happy Birthday Lily". She saw a number three. She remembered that today was her birthday. She felt happy.
+
+She opened the card and saw more words. She could not read them, but she knew they were nice. She saw a shiny coin. She knew it was money. She could buy something with it. She wondered what she could buy. She felt excited.
+
+She opened the envelope more and saw something else. She pulled it out. It was a book. It had a picture of a bear and a honey pot on the cover. It had a lot of pages. It had a lot of words. It had a lot of pictures. It looked interesting. She felt curious.
+
+She opened the book and saw the first page. It said "Winnie the Pooh". She knew that name. She liked that bear. She liked his friends. She liked his stories. She hoped that this book had new stories. She hoped that they were funny and sweet and clever. She hoped that her grandma would read them to her soon. She felt loved.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They had a big box of cars and trucks and buses. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a license!" Ben said, holding up a card with his name and picture on it. He had made it with his mom yesterday. "I can drive any car I want!"
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lily said, admiring his license. "Can I see it?"
+
+"Sure, here you go!" Ben said, handing her the card. "But be careful, don't lose it or bend it!"
+
+Lily took the card and looked at it closely. She saw Ben's smile and his blue eyes. She saw the letters and numbers. She saw the word "license". She wanted to have one too.
+
+"Can I have a license, Ben?" Lily asked. "Can you make one for me?"
+
+"Maybe later, Lily," Ben said. "But now let's play some more. I want to drive the big red truck. It's fast and loud!"
+
+"OK, Ben," Lily said. She gave him back the card and picked up a yellow car. She liked the yellow car. It was shiny and cute.
+
+They drove their cars on the grass and the dirt. They made turns and stops and honks. They had fun and laughed.
+
+But then, Lily saw something. She saw a puddle of water near the fence. It was from the hose that dad had used to water the plants. The puddle looked wet and sparkly. Lily had an idea.
+
+"Hey, Ben, look!" Lily said. She drove her yellow car towards the puddle. "Let's make our cars soak!"
+
+Ben looked at the puddle. He did not like the idea. He liked his cars dry and clean. He did not want them to get wet and muddy.
+
+"No, Lily, don't do that!" Ben said. He tried to stop her, but he was too late. Lily reached the puddle and drove her car into it. She splashed the water and made a big mess. She giggled and said, "Whee!"
+
+Ben was angry. He drove his big red truck after her. He wanted to get his license back from her. He did not want it to soak too. He reached the puddle and grabbed the card from her hand. But he was clumsy. He slipped and fell into the puddle. He soaked his clothes and his hair and his face. He dropped his license and his truck into the water. He cried and said, "Ow!"
+
+Lily was sorry. She did not mean to make Ben cry. She got out of the puddle and helped him up. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was just playing. Are you OK?"
+
+Ben was not OK. He was wet and dirty and sad. He looked at his license and his truck. They were wet and dirty too. He said, "No, Lily. You ruined my license and my truck. They were my favorite things. Now they are no good."
+
+Lily felt bad. She wanted to make Ben happy. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I can help you clean them. Maybe they are still good. Maybe we can dry them and fix them. Maybe we can make a new license for you. And for me too. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Ben looked at Lily. He saw her eyes and her smile. He saw that she was his friend. He saw that she was sorry. He felt a little better. He said, "OK, Lily. Maybe you are right. Maybe we can still play. But next time, don't make our cars soak. OK?"
+
+"OK, Ben," Lily said. She hugged him and said, "You are my friend. I like you."
+
+They went inside the house. They cleaned their cars and their clothes and their faces. They dried their license and their truck. They made a new license for Lily. They played some more. They were happy.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a red dress and a yellow hat. Lily took Anna everywhere she went. She hugged Anna when she was happy and when she was sad.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily brought Anna with her. She played with Anna on the swings, on the slide, and on the grass. She had a lot of fun. But then, she saw a big dog. The dog was friendly, but Lily was scared. She ran to her mom and left Anna on the grass.
+
+When Lily and her mom were ready to go home, Lily looked for Anna. But she could not find her. She looked everywhere, but Anna was gone. Lily felt very sad. She cried and cried. She had lost her favorite doll.
+
+Lily's mom tried to make her feel better. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. Maybe someone found Anna and took her to a nice place. Maybe Anna is happy with a new friend. Maybe Anna is in a new nation, where she can see new things and learn new words."
+
+Lily did not understand what a nation was, but she liked the idea of Anna being happy. She wiped her tears and said, "Maybe you are right, mom. Maybe Anna is happy. I hope she is. I miss her, but I love her."
+
+Lily and her mom hugged and went home. Lily still felt sad, but she also felt hopeful. She hoped that Anna was happy, and that someday, she would see her again.
+Sam and Tom were brothers. They liked to play on the carpet in their room. They had many toys and books on the carpet. They also liked to wave at the cars and people outside their window.
+
+One day, Sam and Tom saw a big truck outside their window. It was red and shiny and loud. It had a big hose and a ladder. Sam and Tom wanted to see what it was doing. They waved at the truck and the men in it.
+
+The truck stopped in front of their house. The men got out and ran to the door. They had helmets and coats and boots. They looked angry and scared. They knocked on the door and shouted something.
+
+Sam and Tom did not know what was happening. They were curious and afraid. They ran to the door and opened it. They saw smoke and fire in the hall. They smelled something bad. They heard a loud beep.
+
+The men grabbed Sam and Tom and carried them outside. They put them on the grass and told them to stay there. They went back inside with the hose and the ladder. They tried to put out the fire.
+
+Sam and Tom cried and hugged each other. They did not understand why their house was on fire. They did not know where their mom and dad were. They did not know if they would ever play on the carpet again. They did not feel normal. They felt sad and lost.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big pile of dirt. They want to build something.
+
+"What do you want to build?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"Let's build a castle!" Ben says. "We can use sticks and stones and leaves."
+
+"OK!" Lily says. "I will find some sticks and stones. You find some leaves."
+
+They start to build. They work hard. They make walls and towers and a gate. They are happy.
+
+"Look at our castle!" Ben says. "It is big and strong."
+
+"It is very nice!" Lily says. "But it needs something more."
+
+"What does it need?" Ben asks.
+
+Lily thinks. She sees some red things in the bushes. She runs to them. They are strawberries. They are sweet and juicy.
+
+"I know!" Lily says. "We can use strawberries to decorate our castle. They will make it pretty and yummy."
+
+"Good idea!" Ben says. "Let's pick some strawberries."
+
+They pick some strawberries. They put them on the walls and towers and gate. They make patterns and shapes. They are proud.
+
+"Our castle is done!" Lily says. "It is the best castle ever!"
+
+"It is!" Ben says. "And we can eat some strawberries too."
+
+They eat some strawberries. They are delicious. They share them with their mums and dads. They are happy. They hug each other.
+
+"We are good builders!" Lily says.
+
+"We are!" Ben says. "And good friends!"
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to visit their grandma every week. Grandma lived in a small house with a big garden and a friendly dog named Spot. Grandma always had cookies and stories for them, and she walked with a cane because her legs were old and sore.
+
+One day, when Lily and Ben arrived at grandma's house, they saw that Spot was not there. They asked grandma where he was, and she said he was at the vet. She said he had eaten something bad and was very sick. Lily and Ben felt sad and worried for Spot. They hugged grandma and said they hoped he would get better soon.
+
+Grandma said she had a surprise for them. She took them to the garden and showed them a big box with holes in it. She said she had found a baby bird that had fallen from its nest and had brought it home to take care of it. She said they could help her feed it and watch it grow. Lily and Ben were very excited and curious. They peeked inside the box and saw a tiny, fluffy bird that chirped softly.
+
+Grandma said the bird needed a name, and asked them what they wanted to call it. Lily said she wanted to name it Cookie, because it was sweet and brown. Ben said he wanted to name it Spot, because it had a white spot on its head and reminded him of their dog. Grandma said they could both be right, and they could call it Cookie Spot. Lily and Ben liked that name and agreed.
+
+They spent the afternoon feeding Cookie Spot with a dropper, stroking its feathers, and singing to it. They saw that Cookie Spot was calm and happy in the box, and they felt calm and happy too. They thanked grandma for the surprise and said they loved her and Cookie Spot. Grandma said she loved them too, and said they could visit Cookie Spot again next week. She said maybe by then, Spot the dog would be back home too. Lily and Ben smiled and hoped so. They said goodbye to grandma and Cookie Spot, and went home with their mom. They had a good day.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make shapes with the blocks and the sticks. Lily made a square and Ben made a circle. They were happy.
+
+But then they saw something new. It was a big red thing with three sides. It was a triangle. They had never seen a triangle before. They wanted to see it better.
+
+"Let's go there," Lily said to Ben. "Maybe it is a toy too."
+
+"OK," Ben said. They left their toys and wandered to the triangle. It was very far and very high. They had to walk a lot and look up a lot.
+
+When they reached the triangle, they saw that it was not a toy. It was a sign. It said "Stop". It was for the cars and the bikes. It was enormous.
+
+"Wow," Lily said. "This is not a toy. This is a sign. It tells the cars and the bikes to stop."
+
+"Why?" Ben asked.
+
+"Because there is a road here. And the road is dangerous. We have to be careful," Lily said.
+
+They looked at the road. They saw many cars and bikes going fast. They heard loud noises. They felt scared.
+
+"Let's go back," Ben said. "I don't like it here."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. They turned around and wandered back to their toys. They were glad to see their square and their circle. They were safe and happy.
+Ben likes to polish his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He uses a soft cloth and some water to make them shiny and clean. He puts them on his shelf and looks at them with a smile.
+
+One day, Ben finds a new car in his room. It is big and red and has a siren on top. It is a fire truck. Ben is very happy. He wants to polish it and put it on his shelf. But the fire truck is very dirty. It has mud and dust and scratches on it.
+
+Ben takes the fire truck to the bathroom. He fills the sink with water and soap. He dips the cloth in the water and starts to polish the fire truck. He rubs and rubs and rubs. He tries to make it shiny and clean. But the fire truck is very hard. It does not become shiny and clean. It stays dirty and dull.
+
+Ben is sad. He does not like the fire truck anymore. He thinks it is a bad car. He throws it on the floor and runs to his room. He cries on his bed. He does not want to play with his cars anymore.
+
+Mom hears Ben crying. She goes to his room and sees him on his bed. She asks him what is wrong. Ben tells her about the fire truck. He says it is a bad car. He says he cannot polish it. He says he does not like it.
+
+Mom hugs Ben and tells him not to cry. She tells him that the fire truck is not a bad car. She tells him that it is a special car. She tells him that it is a car that helps people. She tells him that it is a car that puts out fires. She tells him that it is a car that is brave and strong.
+
+Mom takes Ben to the bathroom. She shows him the fire truck on the floor. She picks it up and tells him to look at it. She tells him to see the mud and the dust and the scratches. She tells him that they are not dirt. She tells him that they are marks of courage. She tells him that they are signs of work. She tells him that they are stories of rescue.
+
+Mom tells Ben to polish the fire truck again. But this time, not to make it shiny and clean. But to make it proud and happy. She tells him to polish it with love and respect. She tells him to polish it with gratitude and admiration. She tells him to polish it with a smile.
+
+Ben listens to Mom. He takes the cloth and the water and starts to polish the fire truck again. He rubs and rubs and rubs. He does not try to make it shiny and clean. He tries to make it proud and happy. He polishes it with love and respect. He polishes it with gratitude and admiration. He polishes it with a smile.
+
+Ben looks at the fire truck. It is still big and red and has a siren on top. It is still dirty and dull. But it is also brave and strong. It is also helpful and kind. It is also special and wonderful.
+
+Ben is happy. He likes the fire truck very much. He thanks Mom for telling him about it. He hugs Mom and tells her he loves her. He takes the fire truck to his room. He puts it on his shelf. He looks at it with a smile.
+Lily and Max were hungry. They wanted to eat spaghetti for lunch. Mom said she would make them some. She put a big pot of water on the stove and waited for it to boil.
+
+"Can I help, Mom?" Lily asked. She liked to cook with Mom.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. You can show Max how to break the spaghetti in half and put it in the water," Mom said. She gave Lily a handful of spaghetti.
+
+Lily took the spaghetti and snapped it in half. She showed Max how to do it. Max tried to copy her, but he snapped the spaghetti too hard and it flew across the kitchen.
+
+"Oops!" Max said. He giggled.
+
+"Be careful, Max. Don't make a mess," Mom said. She smiled.
+
+Lily and Max put the spaghetti in the water. Mom stirred it with a spoon. She added some salt and some sauce. She tasted the sauce. She made a face.
+
+"Yuck! This sauce is bitter. I think it is old," Mom said. She threw the sauce in the trash.
+
+"What is bitter, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Bitter is when something tastes bad and makes your mouth feel funny. Like a lemon or a grapefruit," Mom said.
+
+"I don't like bitter things. I like sweet things. Like candy and cake," Max said.
+
+"Me too," Lily said.
+
+"Don't worry, kids. I have another sauce. It is not bitter. It is yummy. It has cheese and tomatoes and basil. Do you want to try it?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Max said.
+
+Mom opened a new jar of sauce and poured it over the cooked spaghetti. She mixed it well and put it on a big plate. She gave Lily and Max some forks and napkins.
+
+"Here you go. Enjoy your spaghetti," Mom said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. You are the best cook," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. You are the best mom," Max said.
+
+They ate their spaghetti and licked their lips. They were happy and full. They loved spaghetti. And they loved Mom.
+Sara and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked to watch them and learn their names. But their favorite place was the bird house, where they could see colorful and noisy parrots.
+
+One parrot was very big and had red, blue, and green feathers. He was sitting on a perch and talking to the people who came by. He said things like "Hello", "Pretty bird", and "Give me a cracker". Sara and Ben thought he was funny and wanted to talk to him too.
+
+They went closer to the parrot and said "Hi, parrot. What is your name?" The parrot looked at them and said "Hi, kids. My name is Max. Do you want to be my friends?" Sara and Ben nodded and smiled. They thought Max was friendly and harmless.
+
+But then, Max did something that scared them. He opened his big beak and bit the perch hard. He made a loud noise and shook his head. He said "I'm a pirate parrot. Arrr! I like to bite and fight. Stay away from me or I'll bite you too!" Sara and Ben gasped and ran away. They did not want to be friends with Max anymore.
+
+They found their mom and told her what happened. She hugged them and said "Don't worry, kids. Max was just playing a game. He can't really hurt you. He's a harmless parrot. But he likes to pretend he's a pirate sometimes. Maybe he watched too many pirate movies. Let's go see some other birds that are nicer and quieter." Sara and Ben agreed and followed their mom. They hoped they would not meet any more pirate parrots.
+One day, Sam and his mom went to the beach. They saw many things in the water and on the sand. Sam liked to look for shells and rocks. He found a big shell that was closed. He asked his mom, "What is this?"
+
+His mom said, "That is an oyster, Sam. It is a kind of animal that lives in the water. Sometimes, it has a pearl inside. A pearl is a shiny ball that people like to wear."
+
+Sam was curious. He wanted to see the pearl. He tried to open the shell, but it was too hard. He asked his mom, "How can I open it?"
+
+His mom said, "You can't open it with your hands, Sam. You need a special tool or a knife. But be careful, it can be sharp. Or you can bake it in the oven. That will make it open by itself."
+
+Sam liked the idea of baking the oyster. He said, "Let's bake it, mom. Maybe we will find a pearl. And maybe we can eat the oyster. I want to try it."
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "You are very brave, Sam. And very generous. You want to share the oyster with me. OK, let's bake it. But first, we need to wash it and wrap it in foil. Then we can put it in the oven for a few minutes."
+
+They went home and did what his mom said. They waited for the oyster to bake. When they heard a pop, they knew it was ready. They opened the foil and saw the oyster. It was open and steaming. They also saw something shiny in the middle. It was a pearl!
+
+Sam was very happy. He said, "Look, mom, we found a pearl! It is so pretty. Can I keep it?"
+
+His mom said, "Of course, Sam. It is yours. You found it. You can make a necklace or a bracelet with it. Or you can just keep it as a treasure."
+
+Sam said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can we eat the oyster now?"
+
+His mom said, "Sure, Sam. Let's try it. It might be yummy. Or it might be yucky. But we will never know until we taste it."
+
+They each took a bite of the oyster. They made funny faces. They did not like it. It was too salty and slimy. They spit it out and laughed.
+
+They said, "We don't like oysters. But we like pearls. And we like baking. And we like each other."
+
+They hugged and kissed. They had a fun day at the beach. They learned something new. And they found a special gift from the sea.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They watch the birds, the flowers and the swings. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big brown dog. The dog is not on a leash. The dog runs to them and barks. Lily and Tom are scared. They want to go away.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shout. "Where is the exit?"
+
+A nice lady hears them. She comes to them and holds their hands. She takes them to the exit. The exit is a gate. The lady opens the gate and lets them out.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Tom say. "You are very kind."
+
+The lady smiles. She says, "You are welcome. But you should be careful. Not all dogs are friendly. Some dogs can bite. You should always ask the owner before you touch a dog. And you should never run away from a dog. That makes them chase you. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They say, "Yes, we understand. We will be careful next time. We will ask the owner. We will not run away."
+
+The lady hugs them. She says, "Good. I am glad you learned something. Now, go and play. But stay away from the big brown dog."
+
+Lily and Tom say goodbye to the lady. They go and play. But they watch the big brown dog. They do not go near him. They are safe and happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing outside in the park. It was a cold day, so they wore their jackets. Lily had a red jacket and Ben had a blue jacket. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass.
+
+"Let's play guess!" Lily said. "I will think of something and you will guess what it is. OK?"
+
+"OK!" Ben said. "You go first."
+
+Lily looked around and saw a big tree. She thought of the tree and said, "I am thinking of something green and tall. It has many leaves and a brown trunk. What is it?"
+
+Ben thought hard. He looked at the grass, the flowers, the bushes, and the tree. He said, "Is it the grass?"
+
+"No, it is not the grass," Lily said. "The grass is green, but it is not tall. Try again."
+
+"Is it the flowers?" Ben said.
+
+"No, it is not the flowers," Lily said. "The flowers are green, but they are not tall. They are small and pretty. Try again."
+
+"Is it the bushes?" Ben said.
+
+"No, it is not the bushes," Lily said. "The bushes are green, but they are not tall. They are round and fluffy. Try again."
+
+Ben was running out of ideas. He looked at the tree again. He thought it might be the tree, but he was not sure. He did not want to be wrong. He did not want Lily to laugh at him. He decided to say something else. He said, "Is it your jacket?"
+
+Lily was surprised. She looked at her jacket. Her jacket was red, not green. It was not tall, it was small. It did not have leaves or a trunk, it had buttons and a zipper. She said, "No, it is not my jacket. My jacket is red, not green. It is not tall, it is small. It does not have leaves or a trunk, it has buttons and a zipper. Why did you say my jacket?"
+
+Ben felt foolish. He knew he said the wrong thing. He did not want to admit he did not know the answer. He said, "I was just joking. I knew it was the tree. I was just trying to make you laugh."
+
+Lily did not believe him. She knew he did not know the answer. She knew he was lying. She did not think it was funny. She thought it was silly. She said, "You were not joking. You were guessing. You guessed wrong. You did not make me laugh. You made me sad. You should not lie. You should say the truth. The truth is better than a lie."
+
+Ben felt sorry. He knew he made a mistake. He did not want to make Lily sad. He wanted to make her happy. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. You are right. I was guessing. I guessed wrong. I did not know the answer. I should not have lied. I should have said the truth. The truth is better than a lie. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily looked at Ben. She saw he was sorry. She saw he was honest. She liked Ben. She said, "I forgive you, Ben. You are my friend. Friends make mistakes. Friends say sorry. Friends forgive. Friends are happy. Let's play again. But this time, no more lies. Only truth. OK?"
+
+"OK!" Ben said. "Thank you, Lily. You are my friend. Let's play again. But this time, no more lies. Only truth. OK?"
+
+They hugged and smiled. They played again. They had fun. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat lunch. Mom said, "I have a surprise for you. I made a new salad. It is very original. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They liked to try new things. Mom set the salad on the table. It had green leaves, red tomatoes, yellow cheese, and purple grapes. It looked colorful and yummy.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asked, pointing to the grapes.
+
+"Those are grapes. They are sweet and juicy. You can eat them with the salad or by themselves," Mom said.
+
+"I like grapes. Can I have some?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, you can. Here you go," Mom said, giving Lily a bunch of grapes.
+
+Tom and Lily ate the salad and the grapes. They liked the original salad. It was crunchy and tasty. They thanked Mom for the lunch.
+
+"You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Do you want some more?" Mom asked.
+
+"No, thank you. We are full," Tom and Lily said.
+
+"OK, then. How about we go to the park and play?" Mom suggested.
+
+"Yay! Let's go!" Tom and Lily said, jumping up from their chairs.
+
+They put on their hats and shoes and followed Mom to the door. They were happy and ready for some fun.
+Tom was thirsty. He wanted water. He saw a cup on the table. He reached for it. But his mom said, "No, Tom. That is not your water. That is my water. You have your own water in your bottle."
+
+Tom was angry. He did not want his bottle. He wanted the cup. He said, "Give me the cup! I want the cup! I demand the cup!" He tried to grab the cup from his mom.
+
+His mom was firm. She said, "No, Tom. You cannot have the cup. You need to ask nicely. And you need to drink your own water. Your water is mild and good for you. My water is hot and has tea in it. You do not like tea. It is bitter and strong."
+
+Tom did not listen. He cried and kicked. He said, "I do not care! I want the cup! I demand the cup!" He threw his bottle on the floor.
+
+His mom was sad. She said, "Tom, you are being rude and naughty. You need to calm down and say sorry. You need to pick up your bottle and drink your water. Then you can have a hug and a cookie."
+
+Tom was tired. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I am sorry, mom. I was bad. I do not want the cup. I want my bottle. I want my water. I want a hug and a cookie." He picked up his bottle and drank his water. It was mild and good for him. He felt better.
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "That's my good boy. I love you, Tom. Here is a hug and a cookie." She gave him a hug and a cookie. He gave her a kiss and a smile. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben are playing with paper. They like to fold the paper and make different shapes. Lily makes a hat, a boat and a star. Ben makes a plane, a frog and a flower.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a flower for you!" Ben says, giving her the paper flower. "It is yellow and red, like the sun and the fire."
+
+"Thank you, Ben, it is very pretty!" Lily says, smiling. "I made a star for you. It is white and shiny, like the moon and the stars."
+
+They trade their paper shapes and admire them. Then they see a jar of butter on the table. They are curious and hungry.
+
+"Can we eat some butter?" Lily asks. "It looks yummy and smooth."
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Mom said we have to wait for lunch. Maybe we can play with it a little." Ben says, opening the jar.
+
+They dip their fingers in the butter and feel how soft and slippery it is. They spread it on their paper shapes and see how they change.
+
+"Wow, the butter makes the paper more flexible!" Lily says, bending her paper hat. "It can fold in different ways now."
+
+"Look, the butter makes the paper more colorful!" Ben says, rubbing his paper plane. "It can shine in different colors now."
+
+They have fun with their buttery paper shapes, until they hear Mom calling them.
+
+"Lily, Ben, lunch is ready! Come and wash your hands!" Mom says.
+
+They quickly hide their paper shapes under the table and run to the bathroom. They wash their hands and their faces, but they still smell like butter.
+
+Mom sees them and smiles. She knows what they have been doing.
+
+"Did you have fun with the paper and the butter?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we did!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+"Well, I'm glad you did, but next time, please ask me before you use the butter. It is for eating, not for playing." Mom says.
+
+"OK, Mom, we're sorry." Lily and Ben say.
+
+Mom hugs them and takes them to the kitchen. She has made sandwiches with bread, cheese and butter. They eat them and enjoy them. They think the butter tastes better than it feels. They still have their paper shapes under the table, but they don't tell Mom. They will play with them again later, when Mom is not looking. They like to fold, butter and flex their paper shapes. They are very creative and happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together all the time. They share their toys, their snacks, and their bed. They are very happy.
+
+One day, Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you are big now. You need to sleep in separate rooms. You have your own beds and your own things. It is good for you."
+
+Lily and Ben do not like this. They do not want to sleep alone. They want to stay together. They cry and hug each other.
+
+"Please, Mom, do not separate us. We love each other. We are scared of the dark. We need each other," they say.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them too. She says, "I know, my loves. You are great twins. But you can still see each other in the morning and play together all day. Sleeping in separate rooms will help you grow and learn. You can have your own space and your own dreams. And I will always be here for you if you need me. Do you want to try it tonight?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They are still sad, but they trust Mom. They nod and say, "OK, Mom. We will try it. But can we have a night light and a teddy bear?"
+
+Mom says, "Of course, my loves. You can have anything you want. Come on, let's go to your rooms and get ready for bed."
+
+Mom takes them to their rooms and helps them get cozy. She gives them each a night light and a teddy bear. She kisses them good night and says, "I love you, Lily. I love you, Ben. Sleep well, my great twins."
+
+Lily and Ben say, "I love you, Mom. Good night." They hold their teddy bears and look at their night lights. They feel a little lonely, but they also feel a little excited. They wonder what they will dream about. They whisper, "Good night, twin. I am here. You are there. But we are still together in our hearts."
+
+They close their eyes and fall asleep. They have sweet dreams.
+Sara liked to draw with her pencil. She made pictures of flowers, animals and people. She was very good at drawing. She wanted to show her mom her drawings, but her mom was busy. She was a nurse and she had to heal many sick people at the hospital.
+
+One day, Sara saw her mom's pencil on the table. It was a special pencil. It had a red cross on it and it was very shiny. Sara thought it was a magic pencil. She wanted to try it. She took the pencil and went to her room. She started to draw on the wall.
+
+She drew a big heart and wrote "I love mom" inside it. She drew a sun and a rainbow. She drew a nurse and a doctor. She was very happy. She thought her mom would be happy too.
+
+But when her mom came home, she was not happy. She was very angry. She saw the wall and shouted at Sara. "What did you do? You ruined the wall! You took my pencil! That was not a magic pencil, that was a marker! It does not come off! You are a bad girl!"
+
+Sara was very sad. She did not mean to be bad. She wanted to make her mom happy. She said sorry and cried. But her mom did not forgive her. She took the marker and threw it in the trash. She said Sara had to stay in her room and could not draw anymore.
+
+Sara felt very lonely and sorry. She wished she had not taken the marker. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had been more grateful for her own pencil.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not take things that are not yours. Respect other people's belongings. Be grateful for what you have.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One night, they saw many stars in the sky. They were bright and shiny.
+
+"Look, Tom, stars!" Lily said, pointing up.
+
+"I see them, Lily. They are pretty," Tom said.
+
+"Do you think they are hot?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I think so. They are like small suns, but far away," Tom said.
+
+"Can we touch them?" Lily wondered.
+
+"No, we can't. They are too high and too hot. We would get hurt," Tom said.
+
+"Then can we sing to them?" Lily suggested.
+
+"Sing to them? Why?" Tom asked.
+
+"Because they might like it. And maybe they will sing back," Lily said.
+
+Tom smiled. He liked to sing. He agreed to sing with Lily. They held hands and looked at the stars. They sang a song they learned at school. It was about animals and colors.
+
+The stars twinkled and blinked. They seemed to listen to the children. Tom and Lily felt happy and warm. They sang until they were sleepy. Then they went home and dreamed of stars.
+Lily and Sam liked to pretend. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big gray elephant. They named him Elly and gave him a hat and a scarf. They pretended that Elly was their friend and took him everywhere.
+
+One day, they went to the park with Elly. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. They asked Elly to come with them, but he was lazy. He said, "No, thank you. I want to stay here and eat grass."
+
+Lily and Sam were sad. They said, "Please, Elly, come with us. It will be fun. We will go fast and laugh." But Elly shook his head and said, "No, I am too big and heavy for the slide. You go without me."
+
+Lily and Sam left Elly on the grass and went to the slide. They had a lot of fun. They went up and down, again and again. They forgot about Elly for a while.
+
+But when they came back, they saw a bad thing. A big dog had found Elly and was biting him. Elly was torn and dirty. His hat and scarf were gone. He looked very sad.
+
+Lily and Sam cried. They ran to Elly and hugged him. They said, "We are sorry, Elly. We should not have left you alone. We love you, Elly. Please, don't be hurt."
+
+But Elly did not answer. He was too hurt to pretend. He was not their friend anymore. He was just a toy. Lily and Sam had lost their favorite elephant. They learned a hard lesson. They wished they had been nicer to Elly.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big balloon. It is red and shiny. They want to play with it.
+
+"Can we borrow your balloon?" Lily asks a boy. The boy is holding the balloon. He is wearing a mask. The mask is connected to a tank. The tank has oxygen. The boy needs oxygen to breathe.
+
+"No, you can't borrow my balloon. It is mine. Go away!" the boy says. He is angry and rude.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They think the boy is mean. They walk away. They see a dog. The dog is big and black. It has sharp teeth. It barks at them. It is scary.
+
+Lily and Ben run away. They are scared. They want to go home. They see the boy with the balloon. The boy is in trouble. The dog is chasing him. The dog wants the balloon. The boy drops the balloon. The balloon flies away. The boy cries.
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry for the boy. They are brave. They help the boy. They scare the dog away. They find the balloon. They give it back to the boy.
+
+"Thank you for helping me. I'm sorry for being mean. Do you want to play with me?" the boy asks. He is nice and friendly.
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They say yes. They play with the boy and the balloon. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben like to play with colors. They have many crayons and papers. They make pictures of animals, flowers and houses. They are happy.
+
+One day, a big storm comes. The wind is loud and scary. The rain is wet and cold. Lily and Ben run to their room. They want to save their colors. They put them in a big box. They hug each other.
+
+But the storm is too strong. It breaks the roof of their house. The water comes in. It fills the room. It reaches the box. The colors are wet and ruined. Lily and Ben cry.
+
+"Mommy, Daddy, help us!" they shout. But Mommy and Daddy are not there. They are in the car. They went to the store. They did not know about the storm. They are serious and worried.
+
+Lily and Ben are alone. They are scared and sad. They have no colors. They have no hope. The end.
+Sam and Tom are young. They are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+Sam runs to the slide first. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top. He says, "I go first!" Tom runs after him. He climbs up the ladder too. He says, "No, I go first!" They push and pull. They are angry.
+
+Their moms see them. They say, "Stop! You have to share! You have to take turns!" But Sam and Tom do not listen. They keep pushing and pulling. They make the slide shake. They make the slide break. The slide falls down. Sam and Tom fall down too. They hurt their knees and elbows. They cry.
+
+Their moms run to them. They hug them. They say, "Are you okay? You were very naughty! You broke the slide! You have to say sorry!" Sam and Tom are sad. They say sorry to their moms. They say sorry to each other. They hug each other. They are friends again.
+
+The park man comes. He sees the broken slide. He is angry. He says, "Who did this? Who broke the slide?" Sam and Tom look at each other. They are scared. They say, "We did. We are sorry." The park man says, "You have to pay for the slide. You have to leave the park. You cannot come back." Sam and Tom are very sad. They say, "We are very sorry. We will not do it again." They leave the park with their moms. They end their play. They go home.
+Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Tom has a car. Lily likes to make her doll talk and sing. Tom likes to make his car zoom and crash.
+
+"Look at my doll, she is so pretty and smart," Lily says to Tom. "She can say hello and thank you and I love you."
+
+"I don't care about your doll, she is boring and silly," Tom says to Lily. "My car is better, it can go fast and loud and make smoke."
+
+Lily feels sad and angry. She wants Tom to like her doll and play with her. She thinks Tom is mean and rude. She decides to take his car and hide it under the sofa.
+
+"Hey, give me back my car, you thief!" Tom shouts at Lily. He runs after her and tries to grab the car. Lily holds the car tight and runs away. She laughs and sticks out her tongue.
+
+Tom is very impatient and mad. He wants his car back right now. He thinks Lily is naughty and selfish. He decides to take her ear and pull it hard.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow, let go of my ear, you bully!" Lily cries out. She drops the car and covers her ear. She feels pain and fear. She wishes Tom would stop hurting her.
+
+Their mom hears the noise and comes into the living room. She sees Lily and Tom fighting and yelling. She feels disappointed and worried. She decides to take them both and hug them gently.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop, what is going on here?" Mom asks. She looks at their faces and toys. She knows they are not sharing and being kind. She wants them to get along and have fun.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom, Lily took my car and hid it," Tom says. He sniffs and wipes his nose. He knows he was wrong to pull Lily's ear.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom, Tom didn't like my doll and called her names," Lily says. She sobs and rubs her ear. She knows she was wrong to take Tom's car.
+
+Mom smiles and kisses them both. She gives them their toys and tells them to say sorry to each other. She hopes they will learn to play nicely and respect each other.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I like your doll and I want to play with you," Tom says. He gives Lily a hug and a smile. He feels sorry and happy.

+
+They put their toys on the floor and start to play together. They make their doll and car talk and sing and zoom and crash. They laugh and clap and have fun.
+
+Mom watches them and feels proud and glad. She decides to take a picture and a video and share them with Dad. She thinks they are the best kids in the world.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw some flowers and bees. Lily liked the flowers. She wanted to smell them. Ben liked the bees. He wanted to see where they lived.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a hive!" Ben said. He pointed to a big brown thing in a tree. "The bees make honey there. Let's go closer."
+
+"No, Ben, we should not go there. The bees might sting us. It will hurt. We should leave them alone." Lily said. She was scared of the bees.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He ran to the tree. He climbed on a branch. He reached for the hive. He wanted to touch it.
+
+"Ben, stop! Come back!" Lily shouted. She was worried for Ben.
+
+But it was too late. The bees saw Ben. They were angry. They flew out of the hive. They buzzed around Ben. They stung him on his face and his arms. Ben cried out. He fell from the branch. He landed on the ground.
+
+Lily ran to Ben. She hugged him. She tried to make him feel better. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. The bees hurt you. You should have listened to me. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben sobbed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I should have listened to you. The bees are not nice. They are mean. I don't like them."
+
+Lily said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. You are my brother. I love you. Let's go to Mom. She will help you. She will put some cream on your stings. She will give you some juice. You will feel better soon."
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are my sister. I love you. You are kind. You are brave. You are smart. I am grateful for you."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Ben. Come on, let's go." She held his hand. They walked to the house. They left the hive and the bees behind. They learned a lesson. They did not bother the bees again.
+Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. Mom said they could go to a restaurant. Lily and Ben were happy.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the restaurant. It was a big place with many tables and chairs. Mom looked at the menu. She frowned. The food was very expensive. She did not have a lot of money.
+
+"Can we have pizza?" Ben asked.
+
+"Or pasta?" Lily added.
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, pizza and pasta are too costly. How about a salad and a sandwich? They are cheap."
+
+Lily and Ben did not like salad and sandwich. They wanted something else. They made a sad face.
+
+"Please, Mom, can we have something else?" they begged.
+
+Mom sighed. She did not know what to do. She looked around. She saw a sign that said "Kids eat free". She smiled.
+
+"Look, kids, I have an idea. How about we go to that place over there? It says kids eat free. You can have pizza or pasta or whatever you want. And I can have a salad and a sandwich. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the sign. They did not know what it meant. But they saw pictures of pizza and pasta and other yummy things. They nodded.
+
+"Okay, Mom, let's go there!" they said.
+
+Mom took their hands and walked to the other place. It was a smaller place with fewer tables and chairs. But it looked nice and cozy. Mom asked for a table. A man gave them a menu.
+
+"Welcome to our restaurant. We have a special offer today. Kids eat free. You can choose anything from this menu. And for the adults, we have a cheap deal. A salad and a sandwich for only five dollars. What would you like to order?" the man said.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the menu. They saw many things they liked. They pointed at them.
+
+"I want pizza with cheese and pepperoni!" Ben said.
+
+"I want pasta with tomato and cheese!" Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad they found a good place. She ordered a salad and a sandwich.
+
+"Thank you for choosing our restaurant. Your food will be ready soon. Enjoy your meal!" the man said.
+
+He took the menu and left. Lily and Ben looked at Mom.
+
+"Mom, what does kids eat free mean?" Lily asked.
+
+"It means you don't have to pay for your food. The restaurant gives it to you for free. Isn't that nice?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They thought it was very nice. They were happy. They hugged Mom.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, for taking us to this restaurant. We love you!" they said.
+
+Mom hugged them back. She loved them too. She was happy.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. I love you too. Now let's eat our food and have a good time!" she said.
+
+They waited for their food. They talked and laughed. They had a good time. They ate their food. It was yummy. They were full and satisfied. They thanked the man for their food. He smiled and wished them a good day. They left the restaurant. They got in the car and drove home. They had a fun day. They were a happy family.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. But today the sky was gloomy and the wind was cold. They saw a big pond with some ducks and geese. Lily and Ben wanted to feed them some bread.
+
+They walked to the pond and broke the bread into pieces. They threw some to the ducks and some to the geese. The ducks quacked and the geese honked. They came closer to Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben were happy.
+
+But one goose was greedy. He wanted all the bread for himself. He chased away the other geese and the ducks. He came very close to Lily and Ben. He opened his big beak and hissed. Lily and Ben were scared.
+
+They ran away from the goose. They looked for a place to hide. They saw a big tree with a hole. They ran to the tree and crawled into the hole. They hoped the goose would not find them.
+
+They waited in the hole. They heard the goose honking and looking for them. They held each other and whispered.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily. The goose will go away soon." Ben whispered.
+
+"I hope so, Ben. He is very mean." Lily whispered.
+
+They hugged each other and waited for the goose to leave. They wished the sun would come out and make the day bright again.
+Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. But they did not like to behave. They often did things that made the other kids and the grown-ups angry.
+
+One day, they saw a big gate that led to a field with cows and sheep. They wanted to go inside and see the animals. They did not listen to the sign that said "Keep Out". They opened the gate and ran into the field.
+
+"Look, Lily, there are so many cows and sheep!" Ben said. "Let's go and touch them!"
+
+"No, Ben, that is not a good idea!" Lily said. "They might be scared or angry. And the farmer might see us. Let's go back to the park."
+
+But Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran towards a big cow and tried to pull its tail. The cow did not like that. It mooed loudly and kicked Ben with its hoof. Ben fell down and cried.
+
+The farmer heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. He saw Ben and Lily in his field. He was very angry. He shouted at them and told them to get out. He closed the gate and locked it.
+
+Ben and Lily ran back to the park. They were hurt and scared. They said sorry to the farmer and to each other. They learned their lesson. They decided to behave and play nicely from then on. They wanted to be popular and have more friends.
+Lila 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 rocks for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+"Look at our snowman!" Lila said. "He is so nice and friendly."
+
+"Yes, he is!" Ben said. "Let's give him a hug."
+
+They ran to the snowman and hugged him. But then they heard a mean voice.
+
+"Hey, you two! Get away from my snowman!" It was Max, the bully. He was holding a bottle of poison. "I made this snowman, not you. And I don't want anyone to touch him. He is mine!"
+
+Lila and Ben were scared. They let go of the snowman and backed away.
+
+"Please, Max, don't be mean," Lila said. "We just wanted to play with the snowman. We didn't know he was yours."
+
+"Too bad," Max said. "Now you have to pay. I'm going to spray this poison on you and make you freeze. Then you will be like the snowman, cold and stiff."
+
+Max opened the bottle and aimed it at Lila and Ben. They screamed and ran away. But Max was faster. He caught up with them and sprayed the poison on their backs.
+
+Lila and Ben felt a chill in their bodies. They started to shiver and slow down. They felt like they were turning into ice.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cried. "Someone, please help us!"
+
+But no one heard them. They fell to the ground, frozen and miserable. Max laughed and walked away with his snowman. He was very mean.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy guns. They shoot at each other and make loud noises. But Tom is selfish. He always wants to have the best gun and the most bullets. He does not share with Sam.
+
+One day, they are playing in their room. Tom has a big gun and Sam has a small gun. Tom shoots at Sam and hits him in the mouth. Sam feels a sharp pain and cries. He puts his hand on his mouth and sees blood. He has lost a tooth!
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! You shot my tooth, Tom! You are mean!" Sam says.
+
+"I don't care. It's just a tooth. You have many teeth. Stop crying, baby!" Tom says.
+
+Sam is very sad and angry. He runs to their mom and shows her his tooth. Mom is shocked and angry too. She scolds Tom and takes away his gun. She hugs Sam and tells him he is brave. She says he will get a new tooth soon. She also says he will get a coin from the tooth fairy.
+
+Tom feels sorry and ashamed. He sees that he was selfish and hurt his brother. He goes to Sam and says he is sorry. He gives him his small gun and says he can have it. He also gives him a sticker and a candy. He says he loves him.
+
+Sam smiles and says he is sorry too. He says he loves him too. He gives him a hug and a kiss. He says they can share the guns and play together. They are happy again. They go to their mom and show her they are friends. Mom is happy too. She says they are good brothers. She gives them both a cookie and a glass of milk. They say thank you and enjoy their snack. They are a happy family.
+Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fought over them. One day, Tom wanted to read the book about dinosaurs. But Lily had it first. She said, "No, Tom, this is my book. You can read the book about cars."
+
+Tom was angry. He tried to grab the book from Lily. They pulled and pushed. The book ripped. Lily cried. Tom felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to rip your book. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily sniffed. She looked at the book. It was her favorite book. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Tom. I should have shared with you. Yes, I forgive you. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Tom nodded. He hugged Lily. They said, "We love each other."
+
+Mom heard the noise. She came to see what happened. She saw the ripped book and the twins. She said, "What happened here?"
+
+Tom and Lily told Mom the truth. They said, "We fought over the book. But we said sorry and we forgave each other. We are friends again."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "I'm proud of you, Tom and Lily. You did the right thing. Fighting is bad, but forgiving is good. How about we fix the book together? And then we can have some cocoa and cookies. Does that sound good?"
+
+Tom and Lily cheered. They said, "Yes, Mom, that sounds great. Thank you, Mom. You are the best."
+
+They helped Mom fix the book with tape and glue. Then they sat on the couch and enjoyed the cocoa and cookies. They read the book together and learned about dinosaurs. They had fun. They forgot about the boring cars.
+Timmy liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He also liked to hide them under his bed or in his closet.
+
+One day, Timmy wanted to play with his red car. It was his favorite car. It was shiny and fast and had a loud horn. But he could not find it. He looked under his bed and in his closet. He looked in his toy box and on his shelf. He looked everywhere, but he could not see his red car.
+
+He felt sad and angry. He wanted his red car. He thought maybe his sister took it. His sister was older and liked to tease him. She had long hair and chubby cheeks. She sometimes took his toys and hid them in her room.
+
+He decided to go to her room and look for his red car. He walked down the hall and stopped at her door. He reached for the knob. The knob was round and shiny. He turned the knob and opened the door.
+
+But he did not see his sister or his red car. He saw something else. He saw a big cake on her bed. It was a chocolate cake with white frosting and sprinkles. It looked yummy and sweet. He remembered that it was his sister's birthday. He forgot to say happy birthday to her.
+
+He felt sorry and ashamed. He did not want to take his sister's cake. He wanted to give her a hug and a kiss. He wanted to say sorry and happy birthday. He wanted to share his toy cars with her. He hoped she would share her cake with him.
+
+He closed the door and ran back to his room. He found his red car on his pillow. He did not know how it got there. Maybe his sister put it there. Maybe she was not so bad after all. He smiled and picked up his red car. He ran to her room again and knocked on the door. He heard her voice say, "Come in." He opened the door and saw her smile. He said, "Happy birthday, sis. I love you." He gave her his red car and she gave him a slice of cake. They hugged and kissed and played together. They were happy.
+Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big, old house with many windows. It looks ancient.
+
+"Who lives there?" Lila asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a witch or a wizard," Tom says.
+
+They are curious. They want to see inside. They walk to the door. It is wide and wooden. They knock, but no one answers.
+
+"Let's go in," Tom says.
+
+"No, we can't. That's rude. And maybe dangerous," Lila says.
+
+But Tom does not listen. He pushes the door. It opens with a creak. He steps inside. Lila follows him.
+
+The house is dark and dusty. There are many things on the shelves and tables. Books, candles, jars, statues. They look strange and old.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up a shiny ball. It glows in his hand.
+
+"Put that down, Tom. You don't know what it is," Lila says.
+
+But Tom does not listen. He shakes the ball. It makes a loud noise. Suddenly, a voice booms from the ball.
+
+"Who dares to disturb my work?" the voice says.
+
+Lila and Tom are scared. They drop the ball and run to the door. But the door is locked. They are trapped.
+
+"Help! Help!" they scream.
+
+The voice laughs. "You should have listened to your friend, Tom. Now you will pay for your foolishness. You will stay here forever and be my servants. Ha ha ha!"
+
+Lila and Tom cry. They wish they had never entered the ancient house. They wish they had listened to Lila. They wish they could go back to the park.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big gate with a lock. They wanted to see what was behind the gate.
+
+"Let's go and look," said Ben.
+
+"No, we have to stay here," said Lily. "Mum said the gate is not for us."
+
+"But I want to see," said Ben. He ran to the gate and tried to open it. The lock was too hard for him. He pulled and pushed, but the gate did not move.
+
+Lily followed him. She saw something behind the gate. It was a horse. A big, brown horse with a long mane and a shiny coat. The horse looked at them with kind eyes. It was very graceful.
+
+"Wow, look at the horse," said Lily. "It is so pretty."
+
+"Can we pet it?" asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know," said Lily. "Maybe it is not friendly."
+
+The horse came closer to the gate. It nuzzled Ben's hand with its nose. It made a soft sound. It seemed to like them.
+
+"Hello, horse," said Ben. "You are nice."
+
+"Hello, horse," said Lily. "You are beautiful."
+
+They stroked the horse's head and neck. They felt its warm breath and soft fur. They forgot about the lock and the gate. They only saw the horse.
+
+Mum came to the garden. She saw them playing with the horse. She smiled.
+
+"Look, Mum, we made a friend," said Ben.
+
+"Yes, you did," said Mum. "But you know you are not supposed to go near the gate. It is not safe."
+
+"We are sorry, Mum," said Lily. "We just wanted to see."
+
+"I understand," said Mum. "But you have to stay in the garden. The gate is locked for a reason. The horse belongs to the farmer next door. He might not like you to touch his horse."
+
+"Can we say goodbye to the horse?" asked Ben.
+
+"Of course," said Mum. "But then we have to go back to the house."
+
+They said goodbye to the horse. They thanked it for being kind and graceful. They waved to it as they walked away. The horse waved back with its tail. It made a loud sound. It seemed to say goodbye too.
+
+They went back to the house. They told Mum about the horse. They said they hoped to see it again. Mum said maybe they could, if they asked the farmer nicely. They said they would. They were happy. They had made a friend.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big whistle on a bench. It is shiny and red. Tim wants to blow the whistle. Sam says no.
+
+"Don't blow the whistle, Tim. It is not yours. Someone will be sad if they lose it." Sam tells Tim.
+
+But Tim does not listen. He takes the whistle and puts it in his mouth. He blows hard. The whistle makes a loud noise. It hurts Tim's ears. Sam covers his ears.
+
+"Stop, Tim, stop! You are making too much noise. Someone will hear us." Sam tells Tim.
+
+But Tim does not stop. He likes the noise. He blows harder. The whistle makes a louder noise. It hurts Sam's ears more. Sam cries.
+
+"Please, Tim, please! You are hurting me. Give me the whistle. I will put it back." Sam tells Tim.
+
+But Tim does not give. He laughs. He blows harder. The whistle makes a louder noise. It hurts Tim's ears more. Tim cries.
+
+"Help, help! It hurts, it hurts! Make it stop, make it stop!" Tim tells Sam.
+
+But Sam cannot help. He is too scared. He runs away. He leaves Tim alone with the whistle.
+
+The whistle makes a louder noise. It hurts Tim's ears more. Tim screams.
+
+"Help, help! Where are you, Sam? Come back, come back!" Tim tells Sam.
+
+But Sam does not come back. He is gone. Tim is alone.
+
+The whistle makes a louder noise. It hurts Tim's ears more. Tim faints.
+
+The park is dark. The whistle is quiet. Tim is still. No one comes. The end.
+Sara and Ben went to the toy store with Mom. They saw many toys that they liked. They wanted to buy them all, but Mom said they could only choose one each. Sara and Ben felt restless. They did not know which toy to pick.
+
+Sara saw a big doll with long hair and a pink dress. She lifted it from the shelf and hugged it. She said, "Mom, can I have this one? It is so pretty and soft."
+
+Ben saw a shiny car with four wheels and a horn. He lifted it from the shelf and made it zoom on the floor. He said, "Mom, can I have this one? It is so fast and loud."
+
+Mom looked at the tags on the toys. She saw the price. She said, "Sara and Ben, these toys are too expensive. We cannot afford them. Let's look for something cheaper."
+
+Sara and Ben felt sad. They put the toys back on the shelf. They followed Mom to another aisle. They saw some books and puzzles and crayons. They looked at them, but they did not feel excited.
+
+Mom said, "Sara and Ben, these are good toys too. They are fun and educational. And they are cheaper. Why don't you choose one of these?"
+
+Sara and Ben thought for a while. They decided to give them a try. Sara picked a book with colorful pictures and words. Ben picked a puzzle with animals and shapes. They lifted them from the shelf and showed them to Mom.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Good choice, Sara and Ben. These are nice toys. And they fit our budget. Let's go to the cashier and pay for them."

+They hear the door open. Mom is home. They run to hug her.
+
+"Mom, we have a surprise for you," Tom says.
+
+They show her the cake. Mom smiles and hugs them.
+
+"Wow, what a beautiful cake. You are so sweet and clever. Thank you, my loves," Mom says.
+
+They cut the cake and share it. It is delicious. They are happy.
+One day, Ben and his mom went to the beach. Ben liked to play in the sand and look for shells. He saw many things in the water, like fish and crabs and seaweed. But he did not see any jellyfish. His mom told him that jellyfish were animals that could sting and hurt people. She said he should not touch them if he saw them.
+
+Ben was curious about jellyfish. He wanted to see what they looked like. He asked his mom if they could come closer to the water and look for them. His mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay away from the waves. She gave him a bucket and a net to catch some water and things in it.
+
+Ben and his mom walked along the shore and dipped the net in the water. Ben looked at the bucket and saw some sand and shells and seaweed. He did not see any jellyfish. He was a little disappointed. He asked his mom if they could come a little closer to the water and try again. His mom said yes, but they had to be very careful and watch out for the waves.
+
+Ben and his mom came a little closer to the water and dipped the net in the water. Ben looked at the bucket and saw something unusual. It was clear and round and had long thin things hanging from it. It looked like a balloon with strings. Ben thought it was a jellyfish. He was very excited. He showed it to his mom and asked her if it was a jellyfish. His mom looked at the bucket and gasped. She said it was not a jellyfish, it was a balloon. She said someone must have left it on the beach and it got into the water. She said it was not good for the animals or the water. She said they had to throw it away.
+
+Ben was surprised. He did not know that balloons could look like jellyfish. He wondered if the animals could tell the difference. He wondered if the balloon could sting and hurt people. He decided he did not want to touch it. He gave the bucket to his mom and they walked back to the sand. His mom threw the balloon in the trash and they washed their hands. Ben said he was sorry they did not find any jellyfish. His mom said it was okay, they could try again another day. She said she was proud of him for being careful and curious. She said she loved him very much. Ben said he loved her too. They hugged and smiled. They had a good day at the beach.
+Anna loved her pony, Spot. She liked to brush his hair, feed him carrots, and ride him around the farm. She wanted to show him to her friend, Ben, who was coming to visit.
+
+She put a saddle on Spot and waited for Ben to arrive. When she saw his car, she waved and called, "Hi, Ben! Come and see my pony!"
+
+Ben ran over and smiled. He liked ponies, too. He asked, "Can I ride him, Anna?"
+
+Anna nodded and helped Ben get on the saddle. She said, "Hold on tight, Ben. Spot is very fast."
+
+They rode around the farm, having fun. Spot was happy, too. He liked to run and jump.
+
+But then, they saw a big dog. The dog barked and ran after them. Spot was scared. He neighed and ran faster. Ben was scared, too. He said, "Anna, help! The dog is chasing us!"
+
+Anna tried to calm Spot down. She said, "Don't worry, Spot. The dog is not bad. He just wants to play."
+
+But Spot did not listen. He ran to the fence and tried to jump over it. He was too fast and too high. He hit the fence and fell down. Ben and Anna fell down, too. They dropped to the ground.
+
+They were not hurt, but they were dirty and sad. Spot was dirty and sad, too. He had a cut on his leg. The dog came over and licked his face. He was not mean. He was sorry.
+
+Anna hugged Spot and Ben. She said, "It's okay, Spot. It's okay, Ben. We are all friends. The dog is sorry. He did not mean to scare you."
+
+Ben hugged Anna and Spot. He said, "I'm sorry, too, Anna. I did not mean to make Spot run so fast. He is a good pony. He is very useful. He can run and jump and carry us."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "That's right, Ben. Spot is very useful. And he is very brave. He tried to jump over the fence. He is the best pony ever."
+
+They cleaned Spot's cut and gave him some water. They brushed his hair and gave him some carrots. They said, "We love you, Spot. You are our friend."
+
+Spot neighed and licked their faces. He was happy, too. He had two friends who loved him. He was the best pony ever.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Sara wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Ben follows her.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can lean over the edge and see the ground!" Sara says. She leans very far and smiles. Ben thinks she is brave.
+
+"Be careful, Sara, you might fall!" Ben says. He leans a little bit too, but not as much as Sara.
+
+Sara laughs. "Don't be scared, Ben, it's fun! Watch me zip down the slide!" She sits on the slide and pushes herself. She zips very fast and lands on the grass. She jumps up and claps her hands.
+
+"Wow, Sara, you are so fast!" Ben says. He wants to try too. He sits on the slide and pushes himself. But he does not zip very fast. He stops in the middle of the slide. He tries to move, but he can't.
+
+"Sara, help me, I'm stuck!" Ben cries. Sara runs to the slide and looks at Ben. She sees something shiny on the slide. She picks it up. It is a fake coin.
+
+"Look, Ben, someone put a fake coin on the slide. It made you stop. That's not nice!" Sara says. She throws the coin away and helps Ben get off the slide.
+
+"Thank you, Sara, you are a good friend!" Ben says. He hugs Sara. They decide to play somewhere else. They don't like the slide anymore. They like the swings better.

+One day, Sara wanted to cook by herself. She saw a big pot on the stove and some eggs in the fridge. She thought she could make a yummy omelet. She did not ask her mom for help. She turned on the stove and cracked the eggs.
+
+But cooking was difficult. The eggs spilled on the floor. The pot was too heavy. The stove was too hot. Sara burned her hand and cried. Her mom heard her and ran to the kitchen. She turned off the stove and hugged Sara. She put a band on her hand and said, "Sara, are you okay? Why did you cook alone? You could have hurt yourself more."
+
+Sara felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I wanted to cook like you, mom. I wanted to surprise you. But I did not know how to cook. I was silly and foolish."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Sara, I love you. I appreciate your good intention. But cooking is not easy. You need to learn and practice. And you need to ask for help when you don't know something. That's how you can be a good cook and a good person."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I will listen to you and learn from you. And I will always ask for help when I need it. Thank you for teaching me and caring for me."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "You're welcome, Sara. You're my sweet and smart girl. Now, let's clean up the mess and cook something together. How about some pancakes?"
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Yes, mom. I love pancakes. And I love you."
+
+The moral value of the story is: Don't do things that are too difficult or dangerous for you without asking for help. Learn from your mistakes and from others. Show gratitude and love to your parents.
+Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to build a big tower. Sara has a measure. It is a stick with numbers on it. She can use it to see how long and how tall things are.
+
+"Let me measure our tower," Sara says. She puts the measure next to the blocks. "It is ten numbers tall. That is very good."
+
+Ben nods. He wants to make the tower taller. He adds more blocks on top. But the tower is not steady. It wobbles and falls down. The blocks make a loud noise. Sara and Ben are sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara," Ben says. "I broke our tower. I wanted to make it bigger, but I made it fall."
+
+Sara hugs Ben. She is kind. She does not get angry. "It's okay, Ben," she says. "We can build it again. And we can use the measure to see how tall we can make it without falling. Do you want to try?"
+
+Ben smiles. He is happy. He likes Sara. He likes the measure. He likes to play with blocks. He says, "Yes, Sara. Let's try. And let's have fun."
+Lily and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds like vroom and beep when they move them on the floor.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben find a big car in the garage. It is not a toy car, it is a real car. It has a shiny red color and four big wheels. Lily and Ben want to see the car up close. They open the door and climb inside.
+
+The car has many buttons and levers. Lily and Ben do not know what they do. They push and pull them to see what happens. One button makes the car honk. Another lever makes the car move. Lily and Ben are surprised and excited. They think they are driving the car.
+
+But the car is not driving, it is rolling. It is rolling down the driveway and onto the street. Lily and Ben do not know how to stop the car. They are scared and scream. They see other cars and people on the street. They do not want to hit them.
+
+Lily remembers that her mom has a phone. She can call her mom for help. She looks for the phone in the car. She finds it in the glove box. She picks it up and presses the green button. She hears her mom's voice.
+
+"Mom, mom, we are in the car!" Lily says.
+
+"What? What car?" her mom asks.
+
+"The big red car in the garage. We pushed a lever and now it is rolling on the street. We do not know how to stop it. We are worried. Please help us!" Lily says.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, Ben, stay calm. I am coming to get you. Do not touch anything else. I will be there soon." her mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben hold the phone and wait for their mom. They hope she can stop the car. They hear a loud noise. It is the motor of the car. It is making a funny sound. It is smoking and sputtering. The car is slowing down. It is stopping.
+
+Lily and Ben see their mom running towards them. She is holding a key. She opens the door and hugs them. She is worried but happy. She is glad they are safe.
+
+"Lily, Ben, you should never play with the car. It is not a toy. It is dangerous. You could have hurt yourselves or others. You are very lucky nothing bad happened. I am sorry I left the key in the car. I will never do that again. I love you very much." she says.
+
+Lily and Ben say they are sorry too. They love their mom very much. They do not want to play with the car anymore. They want to play with their toy cars. They are more fun and less scary.
+Lily and Mom were going to bake a cake for Dad's birthday. Lily loved to help Mom in the kitchen. She put on her apron and climbed on a stool. Mom gave her a big bowl and a wooden spoon.
+
+"Can I mix the flour and the eggs, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. But be careful not to spill. We don't have much time. The clock says it's almost four. Dad will be home soon." Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded and started to stir the batter. She liked how it looked smooth and yellow. She tried to be fast and neat, but some of the batter splashed on the counter and on her apron. She giggled and licked her fingers.
+
+Mom smiled and added some sugar and vanilla. She poured the batter into a round pan and put it in the oven. She set the timer and said, "Now we have to wait for twenty minutes. The cake will be ready when the timer rings. Do you want to help me make the frosting?"
+
+Lily nodded again and followed Mom to the fridge. She saw a bowl of white cream and a bag of chocolate chips. She reached for the bag, but Mom stopped her.
+
+"Wait, Lily. We have to melt the chocolate first. It's too hard and rough to spread on the cake. We have to put it in a small pot and heat it on the stove. But be careful, it's very hot. You can watch, but don't touch." Mom said.
+
+Lily watched as Mom put the pot on the stove and turned on the fire. She saw the chocolate chips melt and become shiny and smooth. She smelled the sweet aroma and felt her mouth water. She wanted to taste it, but she remembered Mom's words.
+
+She looked at the clock and saw that it was almost four-fifteen. She wondered if Dad was on his way home. She hoped he would like the cake. She loved Dad very much and wanted to make him happy.
+
+She heard the timer ring and saw Mom take the cake out of the oven. It looked golden and fluffy. Mom put it on a rack and said, "We have to let it cool down a bit before we frost it. Why don't you go and get the candles and the plates, Lily?"
+
+Lily ran to the cupboard and got the candles and the plates. She counted the candles and put them on the cake. She made sure there were enough for Dad's age. She was proud of her counting skills.
+
+She heard the door open and saw Dad come in. He looked tired and dirty from work. He smiled when he saw Lily and Mom and the cake. He hugged them and said, "Wow, what a nice surprise! Did you bake this for me, Lily?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Dad. Happy birthday! We love you!"
+
+Dad kissed her and said, "Thank you, Lily. I love you too. And thank you, Mom. You're the best. This is the best cake ever!"
+
+They cut the cake and ate it together. It was delicious and moist. Lily felt happy and warm. She thought this was the best day ever.
+Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play at the beach. They liked to build sand castles, dig holes, and splash in the water. One day, they saw a big boat on the sea. It was white and shiny, and it had a flag on it.
+
+"Wow, look at that boat!" Tom said. "It is so big and pretty. I want to get on it and sail away."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "But how can we get there? The sea is so deep and mighty. It can make big waves and knock us down."
+
+They thought for a while, and then they had an idea. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket.
+
+"Mom, Dad, can we get on that boat?" they asked.
+
+"What boat, sweeties?" their mom said.
+
+"That boat, over there," they pointed. "It is so big and pretty. We want to see it up close."
+
+Their mom and dad looked at the boat. It was a cruise ship, and it was very far away.
+
+"Oh, that boat," their dad said. "That is not a boat for kids. That is a boat for grown-ups. They go on trips to different places. You can't get on that boat, sweeties. It is too dangerous and too expensive."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad. They really wanted to get on that boat and see what it was like.
+
+"But can we at least wave to the people on the boat?" they asked.
+
+"Sure, you can wave to them," their mom said. "Maybe they will wave back. But then you have to come back and play with us, okay?"
+
+"Okay," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They ran to the edge of the water and waved to the boat. They saw some people on the deck, and they waved back. Tom and Lily smiled. They felt happy. They still liked the boat, but they liked their mom and dad more. They ran back to their blanket and hugged them.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy train on the floor. They liked to make the train go fast and make noises like "choo-choo" and "beep-beep". They had fun with their train.
+
+But then, Tom wanted to have the train all for himself. He said to Lily, "This is my train. You can't play with it. Go away." He grabbed the train from Lily's hands and pushed her away.
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She said to Tom, "No, this is our train. We share it. You are mean." She tried to get the train back from Tom, but he was stronger. He slapped her on the face and made her cry.
+
+Lily ran to their mom and told her what Tom did. Mom was very upset and disappointed. She said to Tom, "How could you do that to your sister? You hurt her and made her miserable. You have to say sorry and give her the train back. And you have to go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He said to Lily, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. You can have the train. I love you." He hugged her and gave her the train. Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, Tom. Thank you." They hugged their mom and said sorry to her too.
+
+Mom said, "I'm glad you made up. But you still have to go to your room, Tom. You need to learn to be kind and share with your sister. Maybe later, we can all play with the train together." Tom nodded and went to his room. He hoped Lily would forgive him and play with him again. He learned his lesson.
+Ben liked to crawl under the sofa. He thought it was a secret place where he could play with his toys. He had a guitar that his dad gave him. It was not a real guitar, but a toy one that made funny sounds. Ben liked to pretend he was a rock star and sing loud songs.
+
+One day, Ben crawled under the sofa with his guitar. He saw something shiny and round. He reached for it and pulled it out. It was a coin, but not a normal coin. It was enormous, bigger than his hand. Ben wondered where it came from and what he could buy with it.
+
+He crawled out of the sofa and showed the coin to his mom. She was surprised and asked him where he found it. Ben told her he found it under the sofa. She looked under the sofa and saw a hole in the wall. She realized that the coin was a medal that belonged to her grandfather, who was a war hero. She told Ben that the medal was very special and that he should be careful with it.
+
+Ben felt proud that he had found something so special. He asked his mom if he could keep it. She said yes, but he had to put it in a safe place. Ben decided to put it in his guitar case, where he kept his other treasures. He thanked his mom and gave her a hug. Then he crawled back under the sofa and played his guitar, feeling like a hero.
+Lily and Tom are playing with blocks in the yard. They want to build a big tower, but they do not have enough blocks. They look around and see a pile of wood near the fence.
+
+"Let's use the wood to make our tower!" Tom says.
+
+"Okay!" Lily agrees.
+
+They run to the wood and start to stack it up. They make a long and tall tower. They are very happy.
+
+But then they hear a loud noise. They turn around and see a big fire. The fire is coming from the wood. They see a spark fly out of the wood and land on the grass.
+
+"Fire! Fire!" Lily screams.
+
+"Run! Run!" Tom shouts.
+
+They drop the blocks and run away from the fire. They run to the house and tell Mom.
+
+"Mom! Mom! There is a fire in the yard!" Lily says.
+
+"What? How did that happen?" Mom asks.
+
+"We were playing with the wood and it caught fire!" Tom says.
+
+Mom looks out of the window and sees the fire. She grabs the phone and calls the firemen. She tells them to come and put out the fire.
+
+"Who left the wood there?" Mom asks.
+
+"Dad did. He said he was going to supply the wood for the fireplace." Lily says.
+
+"Well, he should have been more careful. Wood can catch fire easily. You should never play with wood or fire. They are very dangerous." Mom says.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom. We did not know." Tom says.
+
+"It's okay. I'm glad you are safe. But next time, only play with blocks or toys. They are much safer and more fun." Mom says.
+
+"Okay, Mom. We will." Lily and Tom say.
+
+They hug Mom and wait for the firemen to come. They hope the fire will not hurt the yard or the fence. They also hope Dad will not be mad at them. They learned a big lesson today.
+Lily was a small girl who liked to crawl. She crawled under the table, behind the sofa and inside the closet. She pretended she was a mouse or a cat or a bug. She had fun crawling and hiding.
+
+One day, she crawled into a big box in the garage. She thought it was empty, but it was not. There were many things inside the box: books, clothes, toys and a lady. The lady was not real, she was a doll. She had a pretty dress, a hat and a necklace. She looked like a princess.
+
+Lily was surprised and happy. She took the lady out of the box and said, "Hello, lady. You are so pretty. Do you want to be my friend?" The lady did not answer, but Lily did not mind. She hugged the lady and said, "I will call you Rose. You can come with me and crawl."
+
+Lily and Rose crawled out of the box and around the garage. They crawled under the car, behind the bike and inside the basket. They pretended they were mice or cats or bugs. They had fun crawling and hiding.
+
+But then, Lily heard her mom call her name. "Lily, where are you? It's time for lunch." Lily said, "I'm here, mom. I'm coming." She took Rose by the hand and said, "Come on, Rose. Let's go eat. You can sit with me and share my sandwich." She crawled out of the garage and ran to her mom. She showed her mom her new friend and said, "Mom, this is Rose. She is a lady. She likes to crawl with me." Her mom smiled and said, "She is very pretty, Lily. I'm glad you found her. She can be your friend. But first, let's wash your hands and face. You are very dirty from crawling." Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. But can we crawl again after lunch?" Her mom said, "Yes, we can. But only if you eat your vegetables." Lily said, "Okay, mom. I will eat my vegetables. And Rose will too." She kissed Rose and said, "I love you, Rose. You are the best lady ever."
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in their room. But their room is very messy. There are toys everywhere. Mom is not happy.
+
+"Tom and Lily, you need to organize your toys. Put them in the boxes and on the shelves. If you don't, I will throw them away." Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily do not want to lose their toys. They start to organize them. Tom puts his cars and trucks in a box. Lily puts her dolls and animals on a shelf. They work hard.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. They look out the window. They see a big fire. The fire is in their house. They are very scared.
+
+"Mom! Mom! Help us!" Tom and Lily shout.
+
+But Mom does not hear them. She is in the kitchen. She is cooking. She does not know about the fire. She is in shock.
+
+Tom and Lily try to open the door. But the door is locked. They cannot get out. They cry and hug each other. The fire gets bigger and bigger. They are in trouble.
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Ann. Ann had long hair and a pink dress. Lily talked to Ann every day and told her stories.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a girl who was playing with a doll too. The girl had short hair and a blue dress. Lily wanted to be friends with her. She ran to the girl and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?"
+
+The girl did not answer. She did not look at Lily. She just played with her doll. Lily felt sad. She thought the girl did not like her. She tried again. She said, "Your doll is pretty. Can I see it?"
+
+The girl did not answer. She did not look at Lily. She just hugged her doll. Lily felt angry. She thought the girl was rude. She reached for the doll and tried to take it.
