They became friends. + +Tommy's mom smiled. She was glad. She took a picture of them. She said they were both very good. She said they could have a snack now. She said they could come back to see Ellie again. + +Tommy and Ellie nodded. They were happy. They liked each other. They liked elephants. They liked the zoo. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run around. Mom said they had one more task to do before they could go home. They had to pick up some apples from the farmer's market. + +"Can we help you, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, you can each carry a small bag of apples. But don't run or drop them, okay?" Mom said. + +Anna and Ben nodded and took a bag each. They followed Mom to the market. There were many people and stalls there. Anna and Ben saw colorful fruits, vegetables, flowers and bread. They smelled yummy things too. + +Mom found the apple stall and paid the farmer. She gave Anna and Ben their bags and said, "Let's go back to the car. Stay close to me, please." + +Anna and Ben tried to follow Mom, but they got distracted by the sights and sounds. Anna saw a big balloon and wanted to touch it. Ben saw a dog and wanted to pet it. They let go of their bags and ran to different directions. + +Mom turned around and saw that Anna and Ben were gone. She panicked. She called their names and looked for them. She was afraid they were lost or hurt. + +Anna and Ben realized they had left their bags and Mom. They felt dizzy and scared. They wanted to find Mom, but they didn't know where she was. They started to cry. + +A nice lady saw them and asked, "Are you okay, little ones? Where is your mom?" + +Anna and Ben told her they were looking for Mom and the apples. The lady said, "Don't worry, I'll help you. Let's go to the apple stall and see if your mom is there." + +They walked to the apple stall and saw Mom. She was so happy to see them. She hugged them and said, "I'm so glad you're safe. I was so worried about you. Why did you run away?" + +Anna and Ben said they were sorry and explained what happened. Mom said, "I understand, but you have to listen to me and stay with me. The market is a busy place and you could get lost or hurt. Next time, don't let go of your bags or me, okay?" + +Anna and Ben said okay and promised to be good. They thanked the lady for helping them. They took their bags and went back to the car. Mom said, "You did a good job with your task, even though you made a mistake. I'm proud of you. Now let's go home and make some apple pie." +Tom and Mia were eager to go outside and play. They put on their boots and coats and ran to the door. But their mom stopped them. + +"Wait a minute, you two. It's raining hard. You can't go out now. You'll get wet and cold and sick. Why don't you play inside for a while?" she said. + +Tom and Mia did not like that. They wanted to jump in the puddles and splash and have fun. They did not want to play inside with their toys. They pouted and whined and begged. + +"Please, mom, please. Just for a little bit. We'll be careful. We'll come back soon. Please, please, please," they said. + +Mom sighed and looked at the window. The rain was slowing down. She thought maybe they could go out for a short time, if they promised to listen to her. + +"Okay, okay. You can go out for a little bit. But you have to stay close to the house. And you have to come back as soon as I call you. And you have to change your clothes when you get in. Do you understand?" she said. + +Tom and Mia nodded and smiled. They said thank you and ran outside. They saw a big puddle in the yard. They ran to it and jumped in. They laughed and splashed and kicked. They did not see the dark clouds coming back. They did not hear the thunder rumbling. They did not notice the rain falling harder. + +Mom saw the storm coming. She opened the door and shouted. + +"Tom! Mia! Come back inside! It's raining again! Hurry up!" she said. + +Tom and Mia heard their mom. They looked at the sky. They saw the lightning flashing. They felt the rain pouring. They got scared. They ran to the door. But they slipped on the wet grass. They fell in the mud. They got dirty and wet and cold. They cried and called for their mom. + +Mom ran to them and picked them up. She hugged them and carried them inside. She took off their boots and coats and clothes. She wrapped them in towels and blankets. She gave them hot chocolate and cookies. She kissed them and told them to rest. + +Tom and Mia felt sorry and sad. They said sorry to their mom. They said they were silly and foolish. They said they learned their lesson. They said they would listen to their mom next time. They cuddled with their mom and rested. They hoped the sun would come out tomorrow. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They found a big box with many things inside. They saw hats, scarves, shoes and a shiny crown. + +"Look, Max, a crown!" Lily said. "I want to be a queen!" + +She put the crown on her head and smiled. Max looked at her and said, "You are a pretty queen, Lily. Can I be a king?" + +"OK, Max, you can be a king. But you need a crown too," Lily said. She looked in the box and found another crown. It was not shiny, but it had colorful feathers. She gave it to Max and said, "Here, this is your crown. It is very nice." + +Max put the crown on his head and said, "Thank you, Lily. We are a king and a queen. What do we do now?" + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "We need a castle. And a cake. A yummy cake." + +They looked around the garden and saw a big cardboard box. They dragged it to a shady spot and said, "This is our castle. It is very big and strong." + +They went inside the box and pretended it was their castle. They had fun making noises and telling stories. They were hungry, so they went out of the box and looked for a cake. + +They saw a plate on the table. It had a big cake with frosting and sprinkles. It looked very yummy. + +"Wow, a cake!" Max said. "It is for us. We are a king and a queen. We can have cake." + +They ran to the table and grabbed the cake. They ate it with their hands and made a mess. It was very yummy. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was Mom. She looked at them and said, "What are you doing? That cake was for Grandma's birthday!" + +Lily and Max looked at Mom and said, "Sorry, Mom. We were playing. We became a king and a queen. And we found a yummy cake." + +Mom shook her head and said, "You are not a king and a queen. You are a naughty boy and a naughty girl. And you ate Grandma's cake. You have to say sorry to Grandma and help me make a new cake." + +Lily and Max felt bad. They said sorry to Mom and Grandma. They helped Mom make a new cake. They learned a lesson. They did not become a king and a queen again. They became good children. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big hedge with many green leaves. They wanted to see what was behind it. + +They pushed the leaves apart and looked. They saw a small house made of wood and straw. It had a door and a window and a chimney. They heard a noise inside. It sounded like a cry. + +"Who is there?" Lily asked. She knocked on the door. + +"Help, help!" a voice said. "I am stuck!" + +Lily and Tom opened the door. They saw a rabbit with long ears and a fluffy tail. He was in a cage with a lock. He looked sad and scared. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked. "Why are you in a cage?" + +"I am Bun. I live here with my friend, Fox. He is nice and sweet. He brings me food and water and plays with me. But today he went out and forgot to unlock the cage. I can't get out. I miss him. Please help me!" Bun said. + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for Bun. They wanted to help him. They looked for the key. They found it on a table. They took it and unlocked the cage. Bun was free. He was happy. He hugged Lily and Tom. + +"Thank you, thank you! You are kind and brave. You saved me!" Bun said. + +"You are welcome, Bun. We are glad you are okay. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, please! That would be fun. But first, can we hide the cage and the key? I don't want Fox to be angry or sad. He is my friend. He made a mistake. He will come back soon. He will be happy to see me." Bun said. + +Lily and Tom agreed. They hid the cage and the key under the hedge. They played with Bun until Fox came back. Fox was happy to see Bun. He was sorry for forgetting the cage. He thanked Lily and Tom for helping Bun. He invited them to stay for tea. They had a sweet cake and a nice chat. They became friends. They had a good day. +Sara and Ben liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and a big wardrobe. Sometimes they played hide and seek. Sara was good at hiding and Ben was good at finding. + +One day, Sara had a new idea. She said to Ben, "Let's play a new game. I will hide in the wardrobe and you will count to ten. Then you will open the wardrobe and see what I have. But you have to close your eyes first." + +Ben agreed. He closed his eyes and started to count. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!" He opened his eyes and walked to the wardrobe. He opened the door and saw Sara. + +But Sara was not alone. She had a bright hat on her head, a bright scarf around her neck, and a bright dress on her body. She had found some old clothes in the wardrobe and put them on. She smiled and said, "Surprise! Do you like my outfit?" + +Ben laughed and said, "You look funny and pretty. I like your outfit. Can I try some clothes too?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, of course. Come in and we can play dress up." + +Ben and Sara went into the wardrobe and had fun trying different clothes. They felt like they were in a new world. They forgot about time and played until their mom called them for dinner. +Anna and her mom went to the park on a sunny day. Anna liked to play on the swings and slide. Her mom liked to sit on a bench and drink coffee. She brought a pink cup with a lid for her coffee. + +"Mom, can I have a sip of your coffee?" Anna asked. + +"No, sweetie, coffee is not for kids. It is too hot and bitter. You can have some juice instead." Her mom said. + +Anna made a face. She wanted to try coffee. It smelled good and her mom always smiled when she drank it. She thought it must be yummy. + +She waited until her mom was looking at the birds. Then she reached for the pink cup. She lifted the lid and took a sip. It was not yummy at all. It was very hot and bitter. It burned her tongue and made her cough. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" Her mom asked. She saw Anna holding the pink cup. + +"I tried your coffee, mom. I don't like it." Anna said. + +Her mom took the cup from her and checked her tongue. She was not hurt, but she looked very unhappy. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I told you coffee is not for kids. Maybe when you are older, you can try it again. But for now, stick to juice. It is sweet and cold and good for you." Her mom said. + +She gave Anna a hug and a kiss. She also gave her a juice box and a cookie. Anna smiled. She liked juice and cookies. She decided coffee was not for her. She and her mom enjoyed the rest of the day at the park. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside with their ball. One day, they see a big box near the trash. They want to make a fort with the box. + +"Let's cut the box with scissors," Tom says. He runs to get the scissors from the kitchen. + +"OK, I will help you," Sam says. He follows Tom with the box. + +They put the box on the grass and start to cut it. They make a door and a window. They are happy with their fort. + +But then, Sam feels something on his foot. He looks down and sees blood. He cut his foot with the scissors. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam cries. "Tom, I cut my foot! It hurts!" + +Tom drops the scissors and runs to Sam. He sees the blood and gets scared. + +"Oh no, Sam, I'm sorry! You need a band-aid!" Tom says. He hugs Sam and tries to calm him down. + +They hear their mom coming from the house. She sees the blood and the box and the scissors. She looks crazy. + +"What are you doing, boys?" she asks. "Why did you cut the box? Why did you cut your foot, Sam?" + +Tom and Sam look at each other. They don't know what to say. They are in trouble. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the garden. They liked to make pretend stories with their cars, dolls and animals. Ben had a blue car that he called Zoom. Mia had a pink doll that she called Lila. + +One day, they saw a big red balloon in the sky. It was very bright and shiny. They wanted to catch it and play with it. They ran after the balloon, but it was too high and fast. They asked their mom if they could have the balloon. + +"Sorry, kids, that balloon belongs to someone else. Maybe they will let it go and it will come down to you," mom said. + +Ben and Mia waited and watched the balloon. They hoped it would come closer. They saw it go over the trees and the houses. They followed it with their eyes. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud pop. The balloon had burst. It had touched something hot and sharp. Pieces of red plastic fell from the sky. Ben and Mia were sad. They wanted the balloon. + +They went back to their toys. Ben picked up his blue car and Mia picked up her pink doll. They hugged them and squeezed them. + +"Zoom and Lila are better than the balloon," Ben said. + +"Yes, they are. They are our friends. They don't pop," Mia said. + +They smiled and continued to play. They forgot about the balloon. They were happy with their toys. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with some ducks and fish. They wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Look, Ben, there is a crocodile in the pond!" Lily said. She pointed to a long green thing with sharp teeth. + +"No, Lily, that is not a crocodile. That is a log. Crocodiles do not live here. They live in hot places." Ben said. He was older and knew more things. + +Lily did not believe him. She threw a piece of bread at the log. She wanted to see if it would move. + +The log did not move. It was a log. + +But then, something happened. A fire started in the park. Someone had left a match on the grass. The grass was dry and it burned fast. The fire came closer to the pond. + +"Help! Help! Fire!" Lily and Ben shouted. They were scared. They ran away from the fire. + +But the log did not run. It was a log. + +Or was it? + +The log opened its eyes. It was a crocodile. It had been sleeping in the pond. It smelled the fire. It was hungry and angry. + +It jumped out of the pond. It snapped its jaws. It chased Lily and Ben. + +"Help! Help! Crocodile!" Lily and Ben shouted. They were more scared. They ran faster. + +But the crocodile was strong. It was faster. + +It caught up with Lily and Ben. It opened its mouth. It was ready to eat them. + +But then, something else happened. A man came. He had a hose. He sprayed water at the fire. He sprayed water at the crocodile. + +The crocodile did not like the water. It was cold and wet. It made it stop. It let go of Lily and Ben. + +"Are you okay, kids?" The man asked. He was a firefighter. He had come to put out the fire. + +"Yes, thank you, sir. You saved us from the fire and the crocodile." Lily and Ben said. They were happy and grateful. + +The firefighter smiled. He took them to their parents. He told them to be careful and not to play near the pond. + +"Sorry, sir. We did not know there was a crocodile in the pond. We thought it was a log." Lily and Ben said. + +The firefighter nodded. He said, "It's okay. It was a clever crocodile. It pretended to be a log. But it was not a good crocodile. It tried to eat you. You were lucky I came. Next time, listen to your brother. He knows more things." + +Lily and Ben hugged their brother. They said, "Sorry, Ben. You were right. It was a crocodile. You know more things." + +Ben smiled. He said, "It's okay. I'm glad you are safe. But don't worry. The crocodile is gone. It will not come back. The pond is too cold for it. It will go to a hot place." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Bye, crocodile. Go to a hot place. And don't burn." +Lila and Tom are friends. They live in a big city with many cars and people. They like to joke and play together. + +One day, they go to the park with Lila's mom. They see a big slide and run to it. Lila goes first. She slides down fast and laughs. Tom goes next. He slides down fast and laughs too. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. The slide is broken. A piece of metal falls off and hits the ground. Lila and Tom are scared. They run to Lila's mom. + +"Mom, mom, the slide is broken!" Lila says. + +"Oh no, are you okay?" Lila's mom asks. + +"Yes, we are okay, but the slide is not," Tom says. + +Lila's mom hugs them and says, "Don't worry, the slide will be fixed soon. Let's go to another part of the park. Maybe we can find a swing or a sandbox." + +Lila and Tom nod and follow Lila's mom. They are sad about the slide, but they are happy to be together. They joke and play again. They have fun in the park. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big hose and a small bucket. They liked to spray water on the flowers and on each other. They laughed and ran around. + +Then, Sara saw a telephone on the table. It was Mom's telephone. Sara wanted to see what it could do. She picked it up and pressed some buttons. She heard a beep and a voice. + +"Hello, this is the fire station. What is your emergency?" the voice said. + +Sara did not know what to say. She was scared. She dropped the telephone and ran to Ben. + +"Ben, Ben, help me! I called the fire station by mistake!" she cried. + +Ben looked at the telephone. He saw a red light flashing. He was worried. He did not want the firemen to come. He did not want Mom to be angry. + +"Quick, Sara, we have to hide the telephone!" he said. + +They grabbed the telephone and ran to the shed. They put it under a pile of old clothes. They hoped no one would find it. + +But then, they heard a loud siren. They saw a big red truck coming to their house. They saw some men in yellow suits and helmets. They had a hose and a ladder. + +The firemen jumped out of the truck. They saw the hose and the bucket in the garden. They saw the water on the flowers and on the ground. They saw Sara and Ben in the shed. They looked confused. + +"Hello, kids, what's going on here?" one of them asked. + +Sara and Ben did not answer. They felt bad. They knew they had done something wrong. + +The fireman picked up the telephone from the shed. He saw the red light. He heard the voice. + +"Hello, this is the fire station. Are you still there? What is your emergency?" the voice said. + +The fireman shook his head. He realized what had happened. He smiled and spoke to the voice. + +"Sorry, this was a false alarm. Some kids were playing with the telephone. Everything is fine here. No fire, no smoke, no danger. Over and out." + +He hung up the telephone. He turned to Sara and Ben. He knelt down and looked at them kindly. + +"Kids, do you know what you did?" he asked. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They felt sorry. They whispered. + +"Yes, we called the fire station. We did not mean to. We were just curious. We are sorry." + +The fireman nodded. He understood. He was not angry. He was gentle. + +"It's okay, kids. I know you did not mean to. But you have to be careful. The telephone is not a toy. It is for emergencies. Emergencies are when someone is hurt or in trouble. You should only call the fire station if there is a fire or smoke or danger. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They understood. They learned a lesson. They said. + +"Yes, we understand. We will not do it again. We will only call the fire station if there is an emergency. Thank you for coming. Thank you for being nice." + +The fireman smiled. He was glad. He was proud. + +"You're welcome, kids. You are very brave and smart. I'm sure you will grow up to be good citizens. Now, go and have fun. But remember, be safe and responsible. And don't forget to water the flowers. They need it more than we do." + +He winked and stood up. He waved to Sara and Ben. He went back to the truck. He and his friends drove away. They turned off the siren. They left the garden. + +Sara and Ben waved back. They felt relieved and happy. They hugged each other. They said. + +"That was scary. But it was also exciting. We met the firemen. They were cool. They were nice. They were heroes." + +They went back to the garden. They picked up the hose and the bucket. They sprayed water on the flowers and on each other. They laughed and ran around. They had fun. They were kids. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house with a wheel. Lily says, "What is that?" + +Tom says, "That is a mill. It makes flour from wheat. My dad told me." + +Lily says, "Can we go inside?" + +Tom says, "I don't know. Maybe it is not safe." + +They walk to the mill. They see a door. It is open. They look inside. They see a lot of bags and machines. They smell something good. + +They hear a voice. It says, "Who is there?" + +They are scared. They hide behind a bag. They see a man. He is old and kind. He has a white hat and a white apron. He is clean. + +He says, "Don't be afraid. I am the miller. I make bread and cakes. Do you want some?" + +Lily and Tom come out. They say, "Yes, please. We are sorry. We were curious." + +The miller says, "It's okay. I like children. Come, I will show you how the mill works. And then you can have some cake." + +Lily and Tom are happy. They follow the miller. They learn about the mill. They eat some cake. It is delicious. + +They say, "Thank you, miller. You are very nice. Can we come again?" + +The miller says, "Of course. You are welcome anytime. But ask your parents first. And be careful." + +Lily and Tom say, "We will. Bye, miller." + +They wave and leave. They go back to the park. They tell their friends about the mill. They say, "It is a magic place. It makes flour and cake. And the miller is a friend." +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they always wanted more. One day, their mom said they had to share their toys with their cousin Will, who was coming to visit. + +"No, no, no!" Lily and Sam said. "We don't want to share! Will is mean and he breaks our toys!" + +Their mom was not happy. She said, "Lily and Sam, you have to be nice to Will. He is your cousin and he has no toys at home. Sharing is caring. If you share your toys, I will make you a yummy cake for dessert." + +Lily and Sam thought about the cake. They liked cake very much. It was sweet and soft and had frosting on top. They decided to share their toys with Will, but they still complained. + +When Will came, he was very happy to see the toys. He said, "Wow, Lily and Sam, you have so many toys! Can I play with them?" + +Lily and Sam nodded, but they said, "Yes, but you have to be careful. Don't break them or lose them. And you have to give them back when we say so." + +Will agreed, but he did not listen. He played with the toys very roughly. He threw them, he smashed them, he hid them. Lily and Sam were very angry. They said, "Will, stop it! You are ruining our toys! Give them back to us!" + +Will did not stop. He said, "No, they are mine now! I like them more than you!" + +Lily and Sam started to cry. They ran to their mom and told her what Will did. Their mom was very angry too. She said, "Will, that is not nice! You have to share and respect other people's things. Apologize to Lily and Sam and give them back their toys. Or you will have no cake for dessert." + +Will did not want to apologize or give back the toys. He said, "No, I don't care about the cake. I only care about the toys!" + +But then he smelled something yummy. He saw the cake on the table. It was big and round and had sprinkles on top. He wanted a slice of the cake. He said, "Wait, can I have some cake?" + +Their mom said, "No, you can't. You have to say sorry and share first. That is the rule." + +Will realized he was wrong. He said, "Sorry, Lily and Sam. I was mean and I broke your toys. Can I share them with you?" + +Lily and Sam were still sad, but they forgave Will. They said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be nice and gentle. And you have to listen to us." + +Will agreed. He gave back the toys and played with them nicely. He listened to Lily and Sam and had fun with them. They all smiled and hugged. + +Their mom was proud of them. She said, "Good job, Lily, Sam and Will. You are good cousins and good friends. Now you can have some cake for dessert." + +They all said, "Yay, cake!" They cut the cake and ate it. It was yummy. They were happy. The end. +Tim and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also liked to look at the sky and see the sun, the clouds and the birds. + +One night, Tim and Sue asked their moms if they could stay up late and see the stars. Their moms said yes, but only if they put on warm clothes and stayed close to the house. Tim and Sue were very happy and ran to get their jackets and hats. + +They went outside and looked up at the dark sky. They saw many bright dots that twinkled. They tried to count them, but there were too many. They also saw a big white ball that was the moon. They wondered if there were people or animals on the moon. + +"Look, Tim, there is a star that is bigger and brighter than the others. Do you see it?" Sue said, pointing with her finger. + +"Yes, I see it, Sue. It is very pretty. Maybe it is a special star. Maybe it can make wishes come true. What would you wish for, Sue?" Tim said, looking at the star. + +"I would wish for a pony. I love ponies. They are soft and fast and fun. What would you wish for, Tim?" Sue said, closing her eyes. + +"I would wish for a rocket. I want to go to the moon and see the stars up close. Maybe I can find the special star and say hello. That would be cool." Tim said, closing his eyes too. + +They both made their wishes and opened their eyes. They smiled at each other and hugged. They felt happy and warm, even though the night was harsh and cold. They stayed outside for a little while longer, watching the stars and the moon. Then they heard their moms calling them to come inside. They said goodbye to the stars and ran to the house. They had a glass of milk and a cookie and went to bed. They dreamed of ponies and rockets and stars. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted a snack. They went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. They saw many things inside. They saw milk, cheese, eggs, yogurt, apples, carrots, and juice. + +"What do you want?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I want juice," Ben said. He reached for the juice bottle. But it was too high. He could not get it. + +"Let me help you," Lily said. She climbed on a chair and grabbed the juice bottle. She gave it to Ben. But the bottle was icy. It slipped from Ben's hand and fell on the floor. The juice spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said. They heard their mom coming. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. She saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"We wanted juice," Lily said. + +"But it was icy," Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She got a towel and cleaned the floor. She put the juice bottle back in the refrigerator. + +"Next time, ask me for help," Mom said. "And be careful with icy things. They can break or hurt you." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They were sorry. They decided to have apples instead. They washed their hands and sat at the table. They ate their apples and talked. They were not hungry anymore. They were happy. +Sam likes to play with his trumpet. He can make loud and funny sounds with it. He likes to show his trumpet to his friends and make them laugh. + +One day, he goes to the park with his mom and sees a girl sitting on a bench. She has a sad face and a broken toy. Sam feels sorry for her and wants to make her happy. + +He walks up to her and says, "Hi, I am Sam. What is your name?" + +The girl looks up and says, "I am Mia. My toy is broken. I can't play with it anymore." + +Sam says, "That is sad. Do you want to play with my trumpet? It is easy and fun. You can make sounds with it." + +Mia smiles and says, "Really? Can I try?" + +Sam nods and gives his trumpet to Mia. He shows her how to blow and press the buttons. Mia tries and makes a loud sound. She laughs and says, "Wow, this is fun! Thank you, Sam. You are very nice." + +Sam and Mia become friends and play with the trumpet together. They make music and noise and have a good time. Sam's mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of Sam for sharing his trumpet and making a new friend. +Once upon a time, in a small town, there lived a wealthy man. He had a big car. He loved to drive it fast. One day, he saw a costume shop. He went in and bought a new costume. It was a big, red bird costume. + +The wealthy man wanted to show his friends his new costume. He put on the costume and got into his car. He drove very fast to his friends' houses. They all laughed and clapped when they saw him. The wealthy man felt very happy. + +But, he did not see the big rock on the road. His car hit the rock and broke. The wealthy man was very sad. His car and costume were ruined. The moral of the story is: don't drive too fast, or bad things can happen. +Once upon a time, there was a mysterious car. It was very fast. The car loved to speed down the road. Everyone liked to watch the car go by. + +One day, the car found a big frame. The frame was pretty. The car wanted to show the frame to its friends. So, the car put the frame in the back and sped away. + +The car showed the frame to all its friends. They all thought it was nice. They took turns looking at the frame. Then, they played together and had a fun day. The mysterious car was happy to share the frame with its friends. +One day, a little fish named Finny wanted to visit a beautiful reef. The reef was full of colorful plants and many other fish. Finny was very excited to see the delicate coral. + +As Finny swam closer to the reef, he met a tiny shrimp named Shelly.

She thought it would make the game even more fun! + +But Jack thought it was weird that Daisy was using a scarf to play the game. He didn't understand it and he didn't like it. "That's not how we usually play," he said, and Daisy was sad. + +But Daisy didn't give up that easily. She explained that it was about exploring new ideas, and that it was ok for them to try something unexpected every once in a while. Jack agreed, and soon they were both laughing and enjoying their game like before. + +The moral of the story is that it is ok to be creative and to try new things. Even if they seem weird at first, they may turn out to be something fun and enjoyable once you give it a chance. +Once upon a time, there was a bunny and a duck. The bunny and the duck were best friends and they loved to play together in the park. + +One day, they were running around the patch of grass when they saw a harsh little noise coming from them.

The rabbit was about to share the peanut, but suddenly the monkey snatched the entire peanut away. The rabbit felt so sad. + +The rabbit had tried to share his peanut, but all he got for his efforts was heartache. He sadly hopped away, feeling empty and betrayed.

They were looking for an adventurous thing to do, but there wasn't much around. Then suddenly, the sky began to grumble and a few raindrops fell. + +The friends saw the rain and they got very excited. They started to run and dance in the rain.

She said I was special enough to get this present and she wanted me to share it with you." Toby's words made Dan angry. He wanted the napkin for himself and became even more envious. + +So, then Dan made a plan. He told Toby, "Let's play hide and seek and if I find your napkin first, I get to keep it." Toby wasn't sure. He didn't know if that was a fair game, but Dan was his friend, so he agreed. + +Dan ran off to hide, but he never returned. Toby waited and waited, but Dan never showed up. Toby sat there, feeling dejected and sad. + +The moral of the story? It's never a good idea to be envious of someone else.

As soon as he made the mark, he heard a loud roar coming from somewhere in the nearby forest. +His wife smiled and said, "That's the payoff! Now let's go and check it out." +When they got to the forest, they saw an amazing sight. A big and beautiful rainbow had appeared where Mark had made the mark earlier!

They would check back each time and find all kinds of amazing surprises! +Pete was walking past the theater when he felt something cold. He looked down, and he saw that he had stepped in a puddle.

He stopped and looked around, but he couldn't see anything. + +Suddenly, Pete felt cold hands on his shoulder. He looked up, and there was a mean man. He was frowning and he said, "What are you doing in my theater?". Pete was very scared, and he said, "I was just walking past...". But the bad man said, "You have to pay to come here!". Then he grabbed Pete's arm and he made him write something down. + +Pete was so scared that he didn't know what to do. He wrote down what the bad man said, and the man smiled. He said, "Now you have to pay a lot of money if you don't want to get hurt." Pete looked away, too scared to do anything else. + +The bad man took all of Pete's money and he left, laughing. Pete was alone and cold, and he knew he wasn't going to get his money back. He felt so bad and he started to cry. +Once upon a time, there were two friendly bears who liked to explore the world.

We can each have a turn, then we will both be happy." + +The grey bear thought about it and said, "Okay. That seems fair." + +They shared the tasty strawberry, and from then on they always remembered to share! + +The moral of the story is to always think of others and remember to share with them. When you share, even the little things, it can make the whole world a happier place. +Once there was a boy who lived on a farm in the countryside. On bright sunny days the boy would explore outside. One day he hopped on a rail and went for a ride. + +"Wow, this is super fast," said the boy. + +Suddenly he heard a fierce growl in the distance.

Jack looked down and saw an old man at the bottom of the chimney. The man said he'd been reading a book in his garden when he heard Jack's voice. + +Jack was too scared to answer, so he simply stayed at the top. The old man said he shouldn't be up there, and Jack began to feel scared. He wanted to get down, but he was too afraid to move. + +The old man gave him some tough advice. He said, "If you want to get down, you have to take one step at a time." Jack felt brave again, so he followed the old man’s advice. He carefully climbed down until his feet hit the ground. + +The old man smiled and asked if Jack was okay. Jack said he was, and thanked the old man for his help. +Once upon a time, Ted and Lou went for a walk in the woods. All of a sudden they saw a light.

She waved back and smiled. + +The meeting went quickly and Anna felt so lucky to be included. After it was finished, she crawled back to her mom. + +When she got home, her mom said, "Anna, you were so brave to go to the meeting by yourself. You are so lucky!" + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, mom." +One winter, two friends went outside to play. The sky was gray with clouds and there was snow on the ground.

The cold winter wind blew on their faces, but they still laughed and giggled. + +Finally, they went inside, their noses were red and their cheeks were pink.

As Sophie worked hard, the lawyer noticed that she sometimes looked ashamed. He asked why she was feeling this way. + +Sophie said, "I don't know how to do all this. I'm not sure what I'm doing here." + +The lawyer smiled and said, "It's okay. We all have to start somewhere.

She was desperate to learn more. + +"If you like, we can come back tomorrow and I'll teach you all about parrots," Mum promised. + +Anna was delighted. She clapped her hands together and smiled. + +The next day, Mum explained a lot about parrots. She even taught Anna some of their impressive tricks. + +Anna was so happy and impressed with what she had learned. She promised herself she'd come back again to learn more! +Mama and Baby were sitting on a hill watching the sunset. The sky was a bright orange and the clouds were soft and fluffy. + +Mama said to Baby, "Oh, look at the beautiful sunset! The colours look like they are burning!" + +Baby said, "Yes, the colours are very pretty!" + +Mama got out a match and lit it. Baby watched as the red and yellow flames burned. + +Mama said, "We can make our own sunset. We can light this fire and watch the soft flames as they burn just like the sunset." + +Baby said, "What a fun idea!" + +They watched until the fire burned out and then they watched the stars twinkling in the night sky. It was a wonderful day. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Amy. She had a very special journey and she wanted to improve it. One day, her mommy took her to a messy room.

They were very excited and were looking around, hoping to see something special. + +Suddenly, a very thick fog appeared. It looked strange and Sarah asked Jimmy what it was. + +"Let's go and find out," suggested Jimmy. + +They walked closer to the fog, but it didn't move away. They stopped and looked at the fog more closely. When they peered inside they saw a door! + +Jimmy and Sarah walked closer to the door. They heard the sound of a kettle boiling and the delicious smell of coffee. Suddenly the door opened and out came a fairy. + +"Hello children," said the fairy, "I am the Coffee Fairy. I can make all your dreams come true - especially if you love coffee!" + +The children looked at each other in delight.

She was playing with her toys outside when she spotted a furry animal. It was a kitty! She was excited and ran over to it. The kitty didn't care and walked away. + +Sara was sad. She thought the kitty didn't like her. + +Then her mom came over. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. Kitties can be shy sometimes. Try this. Get a gentle rub and show the kitty you care." + +Sara followed her mom's advice. She slowly and gently rubbed the kitty's back. The kitty stopped and looked up at Sara.

She was so smart! +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Mia. She was a very curious child who loved adventures. + +One day, Mia was in the garden and saw a butterfly land on a flower. Mia was very excited and wanted to see if she could touch it. She slowly reached out her hand and spread her fingers out wide. Just as she was about to touch the butterfly, it flew away. Mia was sad, but she looked around and found a jar of honey. + +Mia took a stick and cut some of the honey out of the jar. She looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then licked the honey off the stick. It was so sweet and tasty! + +Mia's tummy started to feel heavy and she became very sleepy. She lay down in the grass and watched the bees buzzing around the garden. Soon, they flew off and she fell asleep. + +Mia had the sweetest dream, and when she woke up, she had the biggest smile on her face. +Once upon a time, there was a grumpy lion. He wasn't feeling very happy. One day, he yawned so loud that it echoed off the trees. + +After the yawn, he hurt his paw. Every time he tried to walk, it made the pain worse. He was feeling very sad. + +He hobbled to the river and there he saw a curious-looking fish swimming near the shore. The fish asked the lion, "What is wrong?" + +The lion sadly replied, "I hurt my paw and it hurts very much." + +The fish replied, "Don't worry, I can help. I can bring you a bandage to cover your paw and you can rest until it feels better." + +The grumpy lion smiled and the fish swam off to find a bandage. After resting, the lion thanked the fish and the two of them were very happy! +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named June. She had a blue flute and she loved to play it. One day, she was so busy playing her flute that she forgot to do her chores. + +Her brother, Tony, came over and saw her playing the flute. He said to her, "June, why don't you do your chores?" But June just kept playing the flute. + +Tony got very angry and started to tease her. He took the blue flute away from her and ran away with it. June was so sad and was almost in tears. + +But then Tony came back and handed her the blue flute. He said, "I'm sorry I was teasing you. I just wanted you to do your chores." June was very happy and they both hugged each other. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was a shy bear who loved to take walks in the woods. Every day, the bear would go for a long walk and explore the trees and leaves. One day, as the bear was walking, he saw a little boy and girl in the woods. The two were quite quiet, but the bear could tell they were having fun together. The little girl noticed the bear and called out to him. + +"Hello, bear!" she said, "Do you want to play with us?" + +The bear was too shy to answer, so he just looked down at the ground. The little girl's brother came up with a plan. + +"I'll bring the bear something he likes. That way he won't be so shy," he said. + +So the boy went off to find something and when he returned, he had some yummy honey to share. The bear was happy to have something special and sniffed the honey eagerly. He wanted to thank the boy and girl, but he was still too shy. So, he just waved goodbye and left. From that day on, the bear was brave enough to come out of his shell and talk to other people. And sometimes the little boy and girl still meet the bear in the woods to bring him more honey and play. +Once upon a time there was a bear. He was wandering through the woods when he saw something yummy. It was a big rock! He was so excited. He sat down and started to chew. +"Yum! This rock is delicious," he said. + +Along came a bunny. The bunny looked at the bear's rock and said, "What are you doing? That's not yummy! That's a rock!" + +The bear shrugged and kept chewing. "I think it's yummy," he said. + +Just then a fox walked by. He stopped to look at the bear and said, "What are you doing? Eating a rock?" + +The bear smiled and said, "Yes! It's yummy. You should try it!" + +The fox laughed and said, "No thank you. I think I'll pass." + +So the bear kept chewing his rock and the bunny and fox kept going on their way. The rock was so yummy that the bear ate it all up! +One day, Emily was walking in the park. She stopped to watch some birds eating in a tree. +Suddenly, a bright, shiny bracelet fell from the tree. Emily picked it up, but then she heard a big call. It came from high up in the tree. + +"Help! I'm stuck up here. Can someone help me?" Emily looked up and saw a baby bird with fluffy feathers. It must have dropped the bracelet. + +Emily found a ladder and propped it up against the tree. She carefully climbed up the ladder to help the bird. + +"Thank you," said the bird. "Can you please feed me?" Emily smiled and gave the bird some food she had in her pocket. After the bird had eaten, Emily carefully carried it down the ladder and released it. + +The bird flew away and waved goodbye with its wing. As a thank you, it left Emily the bracelet. Emily smiled and couldn't believe how lucky she was. She put the bracelet on and admired the glimmering jewels in the sun. +Once there was a little girl. She was very generous, always wanting to share. +One day, she visited a mill. As she walked around, she noticed something sparkling in the corner. She moved nearer and saw a beautiful box. She bent down and began to rub it. Suddenly, the box opened and a magical genie appeared! + +The genie said, "I am so happy you were generous enough to rub my box! As a reward, I am going to give you three wishes." + +The little girl was so excited. She wished for a big house, lots of candy and a very special pet. + +The genie granted the wishes and the little girl was so happy! She thanked the genie for being so generous and ran home with her three wonderful gifts. She was very happy and never forgot the generous genie and the mill she visited. +Jimmy and his mommy were going for a nice walk in the park on a sunny day. Everywhere they looked there were orange trees and if you were quiet you could hear the silence. + +As they were walking, Jimmy saw something in the distance. He tried to get his mommy's attention but she seemed too distracted to notice. He kept tugging on her sleeve and pointing but she paid him no mind. + +Finally Jimmy spoke. He screamed, "Mommy, look! It's shining!" He ran towards the shining thing and his mommy followed close behind. + +As they got closer, Jimmy realized that the shining thing was a disgusting pile of broken glass, but it was too late. He had already stepped in the glass, slicing his foot. Jimmy gasped in pain and his mommy quickly scooped him up. + +The orange sky glowed as Jimmy and his mommy sadly limped home. The silence of the park was only broken by the sound of Jimmy's crying. This was a bad ending indeed. +Once upon a time there was a persistent spoon. This spoon loved to be busy and try different things, particularly mixing. It tried making smoothies and dips, and it even tried making cakes. + +One day, the spoon was mixing dinner for its family when it saw something exciting - a mixer! The spoon was amazed. It had never seen a mixer before. It wanted to try the mixer and find out what it could do. + +The spoon knew that it would have to be very persistent to make it happen. All day long it stayed near the mixer, trying to get the mixer's attention. + +Finally, the mixer noticed the spoon and said, "Hello, little one. I would be happy to let you use me." + +The spoon couldn't believe its luck! It mixed and mixed for days, trying out all sorts of recipes. It made the tastiest cakes and the creamiest dips - all thanks to its persistence! +Once upon a time, there was a large dessert. It was bigger than any dessert the boy had ever seen. He wanted to hold it and see what it tasted like. So he reached out and held it in both hands. He couldn't believe how delicious it was! It was filled with chocolate, marshmallows and rainbow sprinkles. He smiled in delight. He ate every last bite of the large dessert. + +When he was finished, he was filled with joy. He had enjoyed his treat very much. So much that he wanted to find another large dessert to eat. He smiled and ran to find something else delicious to hold and enjoy. The end. +Once upon a time there was a girl called Daisy who wanted to be a doctor when she grew up. One evening, Daisy drew a design for a special machine that she thought would help doctors to make people healthy.

It was a real doctor! Daisy wanted to show the doctor her design, so she ran up to him and asked him to come and look at it. + +"Please, can you come and see my design?" she said. + +But the doctor said he was too busy to look at it right now. Daisy was very sad, but she knew she couldn't give up. + +"Can I show it to you later?" Daisy asked. + +The doctor smiled and said he would be happy to look at it the next time he came by. Daisy was very happy, and she promised to work hard on her design to make it even better. + +That evening, Daisy worked really hard to make sure her design was perfect. And the next day, the doctor came back and it seemed like he was very impressed with it. He said that he was sure it would help to make people healthy and he promised to take it with him and show it to other doctors. +Once upon a time there was a knight who was very troubled. He had a big weapon and he was never sure what to do with it. One sunny day, he decided to enter a magical forest. + +While he was exploring, he heard a voice calling out to him. "Sir Knight, please come and help me!" He saw a small fairy at the edge of a clearing. She had been captured by a troll and was crying for help. + +The knight quickly brandished his weapon and ran towards the troll. Seeing the knight coming with his weapon made the troll so scared that he immediately ran away. + +The knight smiled at the fairy and she thanked him for being so brave. "Now I'm no longer troubled," said the knight. "Thank you for your help." + +The fairy smiled and flew away, and the knight returned home feeling very proud of his accomplishment. +One dry day, a little boy named Johnny was playing in his backyard. He loved squishing dirt between his fingers and making mounds of earth. Suddenly, he noticed a frog hopping near a drain. "Hi, little frog," Johnny said. The frog smiled and hopped into the drain. + +Johnny wanted to explore the drain, but his mom had told him it was dangerous. He resisted the urge to go in and stayed on the grass. But then he heard a faint sound coming from the drain. It sounded like a plea for help. + +Johnny's curiosity won out, and he hurried to the edge of the drain. The frog had hopped deep into a puddle of wet mud and now couldn't find its way out. Johnny had to help. He reached his arm into the water and urged the frog up the side of the drain. With a few hard jumps, the frog made it out. + +The frog hopped away into the grass and Johnny was happy he had helped his new little friend. He smiled and made his way back to the safety of the grass, relieved his mom hadn't seen him in the wet drain. +Little Jack and his dad were looking for a job. They looked high and low, in the city and in the country. + +Dad said to Jack, “We need to measure the jobs so we can find the right one.†+ +Jack was confused. “What does measure mean?†he asked. + +“It means to look very closely to see if the job is right for us.†Dad explained. + +They kept looking, but all the jobs seemed too expensive. + +“Let’s keep looking,†Dad said. “We’ll find one that’s cheap.†+ +After a long day of searching, Jack spotted something. “Look dad! I found a job!†+ +They measured the job, and it was just right. It was cheap, and it was perfect for them. + +Jack was happy. He and his dad had found a job, and it was just what they needed! +One day, Augie the dog was playing in his backyard. He was happy and chasing the birds. Suddenly, he saw something on the ground that he thought he should get. It was dusty and fluffy. Augie couldn't tell what it was but he wanted to get it. + +Augie asked his mom, "What is this? Can I get it?" + +His mom smiled. "Yes, it's called dust, and you can get some," she said. + +Augie was excited and he went ahead and got some of the dust. He was so excited to find something new and wondered what he could do with it. He wanted to find out but he didn't know what it was. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. It was his mom, shouting, "Don't get the dust! It can be very helpful, but it's also very dangerous!" + +But it was too late. Augie had already got it and he was in trouble. His mom was disappointed and Augie was scared. He had made a mistake and he knew it. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Sarah. She was only three years old. Sarah really wanted to eat a sweet treat but all she had was an old sheet. + +Suddenly, Sarah had a great idea. She went to her mommy and said; + +"Mommy, can I buy an expensive sweet? Please!" + +But her mommy said no. She said the sweet was too expensive for them. + +Sarah was really sad and started to cry. She wanted the sweet so badly but she knew she couldn't buy it. + +But then her mommy told her she could taste her old sheet instead. + +So, Sarah tasted the sheet and it tasted horrible!

Every day, two little boys decided to enter the wood to explore. + +The first little boy, Tim, was excited and said to the other, 'Let's go see what is in the wood!' +The other little boy, Tom, nodded. + +So they slowly walked into the wood. It was so dark and still, but they didn't feel afraid. They heard birds singing and they could smell the warm earth. + +Tim came to a big old tree and said, 'This is a magic tree!' + +Tom answered, 'How so?'. + +Tim smiled and said, 'If you close your eyes and make a wish, it will come true!' + +Tom closed his eyes, made a wish and said, 'Let's explore this wood some more!' + +They both smiled and they continued exploring the wood with joy. +Once upon a time, there was a hairy spider. The spider was struggling to find food. It had to look far and wide, but it couldn't find anything. + +The spider kept searching, until one day it saw something very round and orange. It was a squash! The spider was so happy that it started to bounce up and down. + +The spider eagerly went over to the squash. When it got there, it saw that it was too big for it to carry. The spider struggled, but it couldn't move the squash. + +Suddenly, a young girl appeared. She saw the hairy spider struggling with the squash and she said, “I can help you carry that squash. Just tell me where you want to go.†+ +The spider was very happy and it thanked the girl. Together, they carried the squash back to the spider’s home. The spider was very relieved and thanked the girl for her help. The girl said, “You're welcome!†with a smile and then she went on her way. + +The spider and the squash were now safe and sound in the spider's home. The spider never forgot the kindness of the young girl and it enjoyed the delicious squash. +Once upon a time there was a young boy named Tom. He was just three years old, but he had a very important job. Tom looked after the mill where his Daddy worked every day. Tom was very proud and grateful for his Daddy. + +Every day, Tom and his Daddy worked together all day long. They fixed machines and collected the wheat from the mill. But one day, they were so busy they had to work through the night. + +Tom was getting so tired. He said to his Daddy, "I can't quit, Daddy. We have to keep working, right?" His Daddy said, "Yes, Tom, we can't quit now, we need to keep working." + +Tom was very grateful to his Daddy for understanding. So he worked a little bit harder and stayed up all night with his Daddy. In the end, they finished their very important job and went home in the morning. +One day, Joanna and her dad went for a walk in the park. The sun was dry and Joanna looked up at the sky, happy to have a fun time. She saw a parrot in a tree and was very excited. + +Joanna asked her dad if she could get the parrot, but her dad disagreed. She pleaded, but he still said no. She was disappointed and said, "Maybe I can get it another time?" + +Joanna and her dad kept walking and as they approached the parrot again, Joanna noticed something strange. It was moving, slowly but surely, towards the edge of the tree. + +At first her dad didn't notice, but when he did he was quick to act. He grabbed the parrot before it could fly away. Joanna was so happy. + +Her dad put the parrot in her hands and said, "This time I didn't disagree". Joanna beamed with a big smile and cuddled the parrot in her arms. It was dry and gentle, a perfect companion for her walk. + +The parrot looked happy to be in her arms and enjoyed her company. From then on, Joanna was always known as the girl with the parrot. +Once upon a time, there were two friends. The first friend was called Tom and he was fat. The second friend was called Jack. They both lived in a small village and were very happy. + +One day, they both decided to finish an image in the fields. Tom started drawing a horse, while Jack was making a dog. They both worked hard, but Jack's image was the best. + +Tom felt angry and said to Jack, "You will never finish that image - you can't do it!" + +But Jack ignored Tom and kept working. + +Eventually, he finished his image and showed it to Tom. Tom was surprised, but he still felt angry. He said, "It's not fair!" + +A moral value of this story is that you should never give up on something. Even if it seems like you will never succeed, you should still try your best and keep going. Although Jack's image had a successful ending, Tom's anger has a bad ending. This goes to show that those that don't stay positive never get to enjoy the good things in life. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sophie. Sophie had a lot of friends who always made her laugh. Every day, the friends would joke and laugh together. + +One day, they all decided to go to the park. When they got there, they saw a garden of beautiful roses. They all ran up to it and admired the lovely colours. Sophie touched one of the roses, but she pricked her finger on a thorn. + +Ouch! Sophie didn't understand why the rose was so sharp - she had thought it would be soft. Her friends were sad to see her hurt. They all looked at her and said, "Sophie, next time you touch something, be sure to be lively! + +Sophie learned her lesson that day. From then on, she was always lively when touching something new. Her friends were glad to see that she was being careful. + +Moral of the story: Be lively when you touch something too, so that you don't get hurt! +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Bobby. He loved to play in his garden with lots of sunshine and insects. Bobby enjoyed the sunshine so much that he wanted to do something special with it. Bobby had an idea!

They were both so amazed at what Bobby had made. Bobby's mom asked “What do you think the sunshine will do for this basket, Bobby?†Bobby said “It will help it be successful!†+ +Mom said “That’s great thinking, Bobby! The sunshine is like a helpful tool. It can help us achieve great things if we use it wisely.†+ +From then on, Bobby remembered to pay attention to the sunshine and use it in all of his activities.

He was a happy and energetic child, but one day he became very confused. He was in the garden, when he saw something yellow. He felt a bit scared, so he decided to take a closer look. + +He slowly walked over to the yellow thing and when he got close, he saw it was a big yellow balloon. Joe thought this was very strange, so he asked the balloon, "What are you doing here?" + +The balloon did not answer. Joe thought it was a bit weird, so he tried again. + +"Hello balloon! Why are you here?" + +Suddenly, the balloon started to move. Joe was even more confused. It floated up into the sky, and then it disappeared from sight. Joe just stood there, feeling a bit confused. + +He watched until it was out of sight, and then he knew he had to start his own adventure.

Just like before, all the animals ran away from him. But this time, when the bird flew over them, he had his arrow ready. It was scary! + +Suddenly, the bird used his arrow to shoot a fox!

His grandma saw him and went over. + +"What are you doing, my dear Bobbie?" asked grandma. + +"I'm trying to fix the flood," said Bobbie. + +Grandma smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, Bobbie. But I'm afraid nothing can fix a mighty flood, not even you. But you can help by clearing debris from it. That way, the flood will be a little less mighty." + +Bobbie nodded and threw his little shovel aside. Instead, he ran over to the flood and started clearing the debris away. He worked hard all day until he had cleared the flood enough to make it a little less mighty. + +It was hard work, but Bobbie had learnt a good lesson that day.

He did not know where it went. + +One day his mom saw him and said, "What happened to the bandage? Where did it go?" He told her that he did not know where it went and then she told him that it was not nice to take things that were not his. + +He apologized and then started looking everywhere for the bandage again. He looked in the house, the backyard, and even the park. He could not find the bandage. After looking for a while, he started to cry. He was so sad he had lost it. + +Then, his mom gave him a big hug and said, "Let's go to the store together. We can buy a new bandage."

It quacked and shared the ball with him. They played together in the pond. + +"Maybe they can both have the ball," Sara said. + +The man came to the pond. He saw Max and the duck. He smiled and shook his head. + +"You are a sweet dog, Max. And you are a funny duck," he said. + +He took out another ball from his pocket. He threw it to Sara and Ben. + +"Here, you can play with this one," he said. + +Sara and Ben thanked the man. They played with the ball. They watched Max and the duck. They seemed to be happy. They were all friends. +Sara and Tom love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favourite is the aeroplane. The aeroplane is big and red and makes a loud noise when they push a button. + +One day, Sara and Tom are playing with the aeroplane in the garden. They take turns to fly it in the air and make it land on the grass. They pretend they are pilots and passengers and talk to each other. + +"Hello, this is your pilot Sara. We are going to fly to the moon. Please fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride," Sara says. + +"Wow, the moon! I can't wait to see it. Thank you, pilot Sara. You are the best," Tom says. + +They have a lot of fun with the aeroplane. They are very playful and happy. + +But then, something bad happens. A big dog comes into the garden. The dog sees the aeroplane and thinks it is a toy too. The dog runs towards the aeroplane and tries to get it with his mouth. + +"Hey, stop! That's our aeroplane! Go away, dog!" Sara and Tom shout. + +But the dog does not listen. He grabs the aeroplane and runs away with it. He breaks the aeroplane with his teeth and makes a mess. + +Sara and Tom are very sad and angry. They cry and yell at the dog. + +"Bad dog! You ruined our aeroplane! We don't like you!" they say. + +The dog does not care. He wags his tail and looks for another toy to play with. + +Sara and Tom hug each other and hope to get a new aeroplane soon. They still love to play, but they don't like the dog. +Sara likes to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She finds a pretty dress in the cabinet and puts it on. It is pink and has flowers on it. She feels like a princess. + +She wants to show her mom how pretty she is, so she runs to the living room. But the dress is too big for her and she trips on it. She falls down and hurts her knee. She starts to cry. + +Mom hears her cry and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sara on the floor with the dress. She hugs her and kisses her knee. She tells her she is sorry and that she loves her. She helps her take off the dress and zip it up. She puts it back in the cabinet. + +She tells Sara she can play dress-up with her own clothes. She gives her a smaller dress that is purple and has stars on it. She helps her put it on and zip it up. She tells her she is very pretty and gives her a mirror. Sara smiles and says thank you. She feels happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a spray bottle and a big black dog. The dog was nice and liked to run and jump. Ben and Lily liked to spray water on the dog and make him wet. The dog liked it too and shook his fur. + +"Look, Lily, the dog is so funny!" Ben said. "He is all wet and shiny!" + +"Yes, Ben, he is!" Lily said. "Let's spray him some more!" + +They sprayed more water on the dog and laughed. The dog barked and wagged his tail. He was happy and wanted to play. + +But then, something bad happened. A big bee came flying near the spray bottle. The bee was angry and did not like the water. The bee wanted to sting the spray bottle and make it stop. + +The bee flew fast and buzzed loud. Ben and Lily did not see the bee. They only saw the dog and the water. The bee stung the spray bottle and made a hole. The water came out fast and hit Ben and Lily in the face. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben and Lily cried. "The water hurts!" + +They dropped the spray bottle and ran to the house. The water was not water. It was something else. It was black and smelly and nasty. It was not for spraying. It was for cleaning. It was soap. + +The dog did not know that. The dog thought the black water was tasty. The dog licked the black water and swallowed it. The black water was bad for the dog. It made him sick. He fell down and did not move. + +Ben and Lily came back with their mom. They saw the dog and the black water. They were scared and sad. + +"Mom, mom, what happened?" Ben and Lily asked. "Is the dog okay?" + +Mom shook her head. She was angry and sad too. + +"No, he is not okay," Mom said. "He is very sick. He drank the soap. You should not have played with the spray bottle. It was not a toy. It was dangerous. You were very naughty. Now the dog is gone." + +Ben and Lily cried. They loved the dog. They did not mean to hurt him. They were sorry. But it was too late. The dog was gone. The end. +Ben and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. They saw a crab walking on the rocks. It had big claws and a hard shell. + +"Look, a crab!" Ben said. He wanted to catch it and touch it. He ran after the crab, but it was too fast. It hid under a rock. Ben tried to lift the rock, but it was too heavy. He could not catch the crab. + +Lily saw Ben trying to catch the crab. She wanted to help him. She had a bucket and a shovel. She dug a hole in the sand near the rock. She put some shells and seaweed in the hole. She hoped the crab would like them and come out of the rock. + +She waited and waited. She was very quiet. She did not want to scare the crab. She saw the crab peek out of the rock. It saw the shells and the seaweed. It crawled out of the rock and into the hole. Lily was very happy. She put the bucket over the hole and caught the crab. + +She ran to Ben and showed him the crab. Ben was very happy too. He thanked Lily for helping him. They looked at the crab in the bucket. It moved its claws and eyes. It made a loud noise. It sounded like "click-click-click". + +"Wow, it is loud!" Ben said. "It is saying hello!" Lily said. They smiled and laughed. They had succeeded in catching the crab. They decided to let it go back to the sea. They said goodbye to the crab and watched it swim away. They had fun at the beach. +Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Sara had a big pot and Tom had a small pot. They filled them with water and put them on the stove. + +But they did not know how to turn on the stove. They pushed and pulled the knobs, but nothing happened. They got bored and started to bang the pots with spoons. They made a lot of noise and had fun. + +Mom was in the living room, reading a book. She heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Sara and Tom playing with the pots and the stove. She was angry and scared. She said, "Stop! That is not safe! You could burn yourself or make a fire!" + +She took the pots and the spoons away from them. She slapped their hands and said, "No! Bad! You do not play with the stove! You could get hurt!" Sara and Tom cried. They did not like to be slapped. They did not know they were doing something wrong. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry. I love you. But you have to listen to me. I am wise and I know what is good for you. The stove is not a toy. It is for cooking. You can help me cook when you are older and I can teach you. But now you have to play with something else. How about we play with the blocks or the dolls?" + +Sara and Tom nodded. They said, "Okay. We are sorry. We love you. We want to be wise like you." Mom smiled and kissed them. She took them to the living room and gave them the blocks and the dolls. They played with them and had fun. They forgot about the pots and the stove. They learned a lesson and were happy. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box and some paper crowns. They pretended to be a king and a queen. Sara was the queen and Ben was the king. They clapped their hands and said, "We are the best king and queen ever!" + +But then, Tom came along. Tom was Sara's big brother. He saw the box and the crowns and he laughed. He said, "You are not a real king and queen. You are just silly kids. Your box is old and your crowns are ugly. I am the real king and I will take your box and your crowns." + +Tom tried to grab the box and the crowns from Sara and Ben. But Sara and Ben did not want to give them up. They said, "No, Tom, you are not the real king. You are a mean bully. You cannot take our box and our crowns. They are ours and we love them. They are perfect for us." + +Sara and Ben held on to the box and the crowns. They pushed Tom away. Tom got angry and he pushed back. They started to fight. They shouted and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and she came to the garden. She saw Tom, Sara and Ben fighting. She said, "Stop, stop, stop! What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a box and some paper crowns?" + +Tom, Sara and Ben told Mom what happened. Mom said, "Tom, you should not be rude to your sister and her friend. They are just playing and having fun. You should not try to take their things or make fun of them. You should be nice and share. And Sara and Ben, you should not fight with Tom. You should use your words and tell him how you feel. You should also be nice and share. Fighting is not the way to solve problems." + +Mom helped Tom, Sara and Ben to calm down. She said, "Why don't you all play together? You can take turns to be the king and the queen. You can clap for each other and say nice things. You can also make more crowns and decorate the box. You can have more fun if you play nicely." + +Tom, Sara and Ben agreed to play together. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They took turns to be the king and the queen. They clapped for each other and said nice things. They made more crowns and decorated the box. They had more fun if they played nicely. Mom smiled and said, "You are all perfect kings and queens." +Lily and Ben are playing with crayons and paper. They draw many things: a sun, a house, a cat, a car. Lily likes to draw with yellow and pink. Ben likes to draw with blue and green. + +But then, Ben makes a mistake. He draws a big line over his cat. He is sad and angry. He wants to change his drawing, but he has no eraser. + +"Can I use your eraser, Lily?" he asks. + +Lily looks at her eraser. It is small and white. She likes her eraser. She uses it when she makes mistakes. She does not want to share it with Ben. + +"No, you can't. It is my eraser. Find your own eraser," she says. + +Ben feels more sad and angry. He looks around the room. He sees a big eraser on the teacher's desk. It is red and black. It looks heavy and strong. He thinks it can change his drawing. + +He gets up and walks to the teacher's desk. He reaches for the big eraser. But it is too heavy for him. He can't lift it. He tries harder. He pulls and pushes. He grunts and groans. + +But the big eraser does not move. It falls on his foot. He cries out loud. It hurts a lot. + +The teacher hears him. She runs to him. She sees the big eraser on his foot. She sees his drawing with the big line. She sees Lily with her small eraser. + +She picks up the big eraser. She puts it back on her desk. She helps Ben with his foot. She gives him a band-aid and a hug. She gives him a new paper and a new crayon. She tells him to try again. + +She looks at Lily. She sees her face. She sees she is sorry. She gives her a smile and a wink. She tells her to share her eraser with Ben. + +Lily nods. She walks to Ben. She gives him her eraser. She says she is sorry. She says they can draw together. + +Ben smiles. He says he is sorry too. He says they can be friends. + +They use the eraser to change their drawings. They make them better. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Tom has a car. They are having fun, but they are also making a lot of noise. + +"Vroom, vroom, crash!" Tom says as he drives his car on the floor. + +"Hello, my name is Anna, do you want to be my friend?" Lily says as she makes her doll talk. + +Their mom is in the kitchen, trying to cook dinner. She hears the noise and feels a headache. She wants some quiet. + +"Lily, Tom, can you please play more quietly?" she asks them. "Mommy needs some quiet to cook dinner." + +Lily and Tom nod, but they forget soon. They keep playing and making noise. + +"Vroom, vroom, crash!" Tom says louder. + +"Hello, my name is Anna, do you want to be my friend?" Lily says higher. + +Their mom hears the noise again and feels more headache. She wants more quiet. + +"Lily, Tom, I asked you to play more quietly!" she says, raising her voice. "Mommy really needs some quiet to cook dinner. If you don't play more quietly, you will have no dessert!" + +Lily and Tom hear their mom and feel sad. They don't want to make their mom angry. They don't want to have no dessert. They want to play and have fun. + +"Sorry, mommy," they say together. "We will play more quietly." + +They put their toys away and sit on the couch. They look at each other and whisper. + +"Tom, do you want to play a game?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, what game?" Tom asks. + +"How about we play quiet animals?" Lily suggests. "We can pretend to be animals, but we have to be very quiet." + +"OK, that sounds fun," Tom agrees. "What animal do you want to be?" + +Lily thinks for a moment and says, "I want to be a cat. Meow." + +Tom thinks for another moment and says, "I want to be a mouse. Squeak." + +They start to play quiet animals, making soft sounds and movements. They have fun, but they are also very quiet. + +Their mom hears the silence and feels better. She smiles and finishes cooking dinner. She is proud of her children for playing more quietly. + +"Lily, Tom, dinner is ready!" she calls them. "You can have dessert, because you played more quietly. Thank you, my quiet animals!" + +Lily and Tom run to the kitchen, happy and hungry. They hug their mom and say, "You're welcome, mommy. We love you!" + +They sit down and eat their dinner, talking and laughing. They are not sad anymore. They are happy. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play pretend. One day, they find a big box of costumes in the attic. They see hats, coats, glasses, and wigs. They also see a mustache. It is black and curly. + +"Look, Sam, a mustache!" Tim says. "I want to be a strong pirate with a mustache!" + +"Me too, me too!" Sam says. "Let me have it!" + +They both reach for the mustache. They pull and tug. The mustache rips in half. They both cry. + +"Uh-oh, we broke it!" Tim says. "What will we do?" + +"Maybe we can fix it," Sam says. "Let's go find some glue." + +They run downstairs to look for glue. They do not see the cat. The cat is curious. It sees the mustache on the floor. It thinks it is a toy. It takes the mustache in its mouth. It runs away. + +Tim and Sam come back with glue. They look for the mustache. They do not see it. + +"Where is it? Where is it?" Tim says. + +"Maybe it fell under the bed," Sam says. + +They look under the bed. They do not see it. + +"Maybe it flew out the window," Tim says. + +They look out the window. They do not see it. + +"Maybe it disappeared," Sam says. + +They are sad. They do not know what to do. + +They hear a meow. They turn around. They see the cat. The cat has the mustache on its face. It looks funny. + +"Look, Sam, look!" Tim says. "The cat has the mustache!" + +They laugh. They think it is funny. They do not mind that the mustache is broken. They play with the cat. They pretend the cat is a strong pirate with a mustache. They have fun. +Lily and Sam went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They were very excited to play in the sand and water. They saw many things, like shells, fish, and birds. They also saw a crab. The crab was red and had big claws. + +Lily wanted to touch the crab. She ran to it and reached out her hand. Sam saw her and shouted, "No, Lily, stop! The crab can hurt you!" But Lily did not listen. She wanted to see the crab up close. + +The crab saw Lily and was scared. It did not want to be touched. It paused for a moment, then snapped its claw at Lily's hand. Lily felt a sharp pain and screamed. She dropped the crab and ran back to Mom and Dad. They saw her hand was bleeding and took her to the car. They had to go to the doctor. + +Lily was very sad and sorry. She learned that crabs are not toys and that she should listen to Sam. She wished she had not touched the crab. She hoped her hand would get better soon. She did not like the beach anymore. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big hill with many rocks and flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on top. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Lily said. "It will be fun!" + +"OK, Lily!" Tom said. "But be careful. The rocks are sharp and the hill is steep." + +They held hands and started to climb. They went up and up, inch by inch. They saw birds, bugs and butterflies. They smiled and laughed. + +But then, Tom slipped on a rock and hurt his knee. He cried out loud. Lily stopped and looked at him. She saw blood on his knee and his face was sad. + +"Tom, are you OK?" Lily asked. "Do you want to go back?" + +Tom shook his head. He wanted to be brave. He wanted to see the top of the hill. He said, "No, Lily. I want to go on. Can you help me?" + +Lily nodded. She was brave too. She said, "Yes, Tom. I will help you. Come on, we can do it!" + +She gave him a hug and a kiss. She helped him stand up and hold his knee. They continued to climb, inch by inch. They smiled and cheered. + +Soon, they reached the top of the hill. They saw the sun, the sky and the trees. They saw the park, the people and the toys. They saw a rainbow, a cloud and a star. They were happy and proud. + +They said, "We did it, Tom! We did it, Lily! We are brave and strong!" + +They hugged and kissed again. They smiled and laughed. They had fun. +Mia and Ben love to paint. They have many colors and brushes. They like to paint on paper, on cardboard, on rocks, and on the wall. Sometimes, Mommy and Daddy get angry when they paint on the wall, but they say sorry and help to clean. + +One day, Mia and Ben decide to paint outside. They take their paints and brushes and go to the backyard. They see a big white fence. They think it is boring. They want to make it pretty. + +"Let's paint the fence!" Mia says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They start to paint the fence with different colors. They paint flowers, trees, animals, and rainbows. They paint their names and hearts. They paint the sun and the sky.

She lived with a girl named Mia, who gave her food and hugs. + +One day, Lily saw a bird on the window. She wanted to catch the bird, so she jumped on the table. But the table was slippery, and Lily fell down. She hit her head on the floor and felt pain. + +Mia heard the noise and ran to Lily. She saw Lily lying on the floor, not moving. She was scared and sad. She picked up Lily and hugged her. + +"Lily, are you okay?" Mia asked. "Please wake up, Lily. I love you." + +Lily opened her eyes and saw Mia. She felt Mia's warm hug and heard Mia's voice. She was happy and relieved. She licked Mia's face and purred. + +"Mia, I'm sorry. I was silly. I wanted to catch the bird, but I fell down. It hurt a lot. But I'm okay now. I love you too." Lily said. + +Mia smiled and kissed Lily. She was glad that Lily was okay. She took Lily to her bed and gave her some water and a treat. She played with Lily and her toys. They were both happy and safe. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big red slide. They both wanted to go on it. + +"Me first!" Lily said. She ran to the slide. + +"No, me first!" Tom said. He ran after her. + +They got to the slide at the same time. They pushed and pulled each other. They did not want to wait. + +"Stop it!" a voice said. It was the park keeper. He looked angry. "You are not being nice. You have to share and take turns. Or you can't play on the slide at all." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They did not want to make the park keeper mad. They did not want to lose the slide. + +"Sorry," Lily said. + +"Sorry," Tom said. + +They decided to be friends again. They agreed to wait and let each other go first. They had fun on the slide.

They want to create something with the box. + +"What can we make with the box?" Sara asks. + +"Maybe we can make a house, or a car, or a spaceship," Ben says. + +They think and think. Then, Sara has an idea. + +"I know! We can make a yoga studio!" she says. + +"A yoga studio? What is that?" Ben asks. + +"It is a place where you can do yoga. Yoga is when you move your body in different ways. It is fun and good for you," Sara explains. + +She shows Ben how to do some yoga poses. She bends and stretches and twists and balances. Ben tries to copy her. + +They put the box on the floor and cut out a door and a window. They decorate the box with crayons and stickers. They make a sign that says "Sara and Ben's Yoga Studio". + +They invite their furry friends to join them. They have a teddy bear, a bunny, a cat, and a dog. They give each one a mat and a pillow. They teach them how to do yoga. + +"Let's do the tree pose," Sara says. "Stand on one leg and put the other foot on your knee. Put your hands together and reach up high. Be still and breathe." + +They all do the tree pose. They look like a forest of trees. + +"Let's do the cat pose," Ben says. "Get on your hands and knees. Arch your back and make a meow sound.

They thank each other for being good friends and good teachers. They hug and smile. + +They love their yoga studio.

Lila wanted to help, but mom said it was too hot and she had to be careful. + +One day, Lila saw a soap mold on the table. It was green and smelled like mint. Lila thought it looked like a cake. She wanted to taste it. She reached for the soap, but mom saw her and stopped her. + +"No, Lila, don't eat the soap!" mom said. "It is not food. It is for washing. It will make you sick if you eat it." + +Lila felt sad. She did not know soap was not food. She wanted to make mom happy. She asked mom, "Can I help you wash the soap?" + +Mom smiled and hugged Lila. "Yes, you can help me wash the soap. That is a wise thing to do. You are a good helper and a smart girl.

She likes mint too." + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, we can give some soap to grandma. She will love it. You are a kind and thoughtful girl. I love you, Lila." + +Lila hugged mom and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love soap." +Tom and Anna liked to play with pipes. They had many pipes of different colors and shapes. They tried to match the pipes and make long lines or funny shapes. + +One day, they found a big pipe in the yard. It was gray and round and had a hole in the middle. They wondered what it was for. + +"Let's match it with our pipes!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Anna said. + +They ran to get their pipes and tried to fit them into the big pipe. But none of them matched. The big pipe was too big or too small or too different. + +They were sad and frustrated. They wanted to match the big pipe. + +Then, they saw Dad coming. He had a serious face and a tool in his hand. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing with that pipe?" he asked. + +"We are trying to match it with our pipes, but we can't!" Tom said. + +"That's because that pipe is not for playing. It's for fixing the sink. It's broken and leaking water. I need that pipe right now," Dad said. + +"Oh, sorry, Dad. We didn't know. Can we help you fix the sink?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, you can help me. But first, put your pipes away. And don't touch the big pipe again. It's not a toy. It's a serious pipe," Dad said. + +Tom and Anna nodded and did what Dad said. They put their pipes away and followed Dad to the sink. They watched him use the big pipe and the tool to fix the sink. They learned how pipes work and why they are important. + +They were happy and proud. They helped Dad fix the sink. And they still had their pipes to play with later. They decided to match them with other things, like cups and balls and books. They had fun and used their imagination. +Tom and Ann were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked out the window and saw a big cow in the field. The cow was eating grass and mooing. + +"Let's go and play with the cow!" Tom said. He liked animals. + +"OK, but be careful. The cow might be angry or scared," Ann said. She was older and smarter. + +They put on their shoes and ran to the field. They climbed over the fence and walked towards the cow. The cow saw them and stopped eating. It looked at them with big eyes. + +"Hello, cow! We want to be your friends. Can we pet you?" Tom asked. He reached out his hand to touch the cow's nose. + +The cow did not like that. It felt Tom's hand and snorted. It shook its head and kicked its legs. It ran away from Tom and Ann. + +"Ow! The cow hurt me!" Tom cried. He fell to the ground and held his hand. It was red and sore. + +Ann ran to Tom and hugged him. She was scared and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. The cow did not want to play. It wanted to be alone. You suffer now. We should go back home," Ann said. + +They got up and ran back to the fence. They climbed over it and ran to their house. They told their mom what happened. She gave Tom some ice and a band-aid. She gave Ann a hug and a kiss. + +"Next time, don't bother the cow. It might be sick or tired or sad. You have to be gentle and kind to animals. They have feelings too," mom said. + +Tom and Ann nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their toys instead. They were not bored anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and the armchair was their ship. They put a blanket over the armchair and made a flag with a sock. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Ben said. "We are the bravest pirates in the sea. No one can stop us!" + +"Arrr!" Lily agreed. "We have a lot of treasure and we can move wherever we want. Look, there is an island. Let's go there!" + +They moved the armchair closer to the window and pretended to sail. They had fun until they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my armchair?" It was their dad. He was angry. He had just come home from work and wanted to sit in his armchair and read his book. + +He pulled the blanket and the sock off the armchair and threw them on the floor. He pushed the armchair back to its place and sat down. + +"That's my armchair. You can't play with it. Go play somewhere else. And don't make a mess!" + +Lily and Ben felt sad and scared. They thought their dad was rude. He did not care about their game. He did not say hello or ask how they were. He only cared about his armchair and his book. + +They ran to their room and hugged each other. They wished their dad was nicer and more fun. They wished he would play with them sometimes. They wished he would understand that they were pirates and the armchair was their ship. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. Sam was older and taller than Lily, so he said, "I can lift you up and put you on the slide. Then you can slide down and have fun." + +Lily liked the idea and nodded. Sam lifted her up and carried her to the slide. He put her on the top and said, "Are you ready? Hold on tight and slide down." + +Lily looked down and saw how high she was. She felt scared and said, "No, no, I don't want to slide. I want to go back. Help me, Sam!" + +But Sam did not hear her. He was busy looking at a point in the sky. He saw a big bird and said, "Wow, look at that bird! It is so big and pretty. I wish I could fly like that." + +He did not see that Lily was crying and shaking. He did not see that she let go of the slide and fell down. He did not see that she hit her head on the ground and got hurt. He did not see that she was not moving or talking. + +He only saw the big bird and smiled. He did not know that he had done a bad thing. He did not know that Lily was his friend no more. +Lily and Ben like to act. They pretend to be different animals and people. They make funny noises and faces. Sometimes they use costumes and toys. + +One day, they find a big screen in the basement. It is old and dusty. They plug it in and turn it on. It shows pictures and sounds from a movie. They see a woman dancing in a long dress. She is graceful and beautiful. + +"Wow, look at her!" Lily says. "She is a princess!" + +"I want to be a princess too!" Ben says. "Can we act like her?" + +They put on some old clothes and scarves. They try to copy the woman's moves. They spin and jump and twirl. They feel happy and free. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is Mom coming down the stairs. She sees them and the screen. + +"What are you doing here?" she asks. "This screen is broken. It could be dangerous. You should not play with it." + +Lily and Ben feel scared and sorry. They did not know the screen was broken. They did not want to make Mom angry. + +"We are sorry, Mom," they say. "We were just acting. We wanted to be like the princess." + +Mom sighs and smiles. She is not angry anymore. She sees how much they love to act. + +"I understand," she says. "Acting is fun and creative. But you have to be careful and ask before you use things. Come on, let's go upstairs. I have a surprise for you." + +She takes them to the living room. There is a new screen on the wall. It is big and shiny. It can play movies and shows. + +"Look, this is our new screen," she says. "It is safe and modern. You can watch and act with it. But only with my permission and supervision. Do you like it?" + +Lily and Ben are amazed and happy. They hug Mom and thank her. + +"Thank you, Mom!" they say. "We love it! Can we watch the princess movie again?" + +"Sure," Mom says. "But first, let me see your graceful dance. You are my little stars." +Sara was a sweet girl who liked to help others. She wanted to be a lawyer when she grew up, because she thought lawyers helped people who had problems. She often wondered what lawyers did and how they learned to help. + +One day, she saw a man on the street who looked sad and hungry. He had a sign that said he needed money and food. Sara felt sorry for him and wanted to help. She asked her mom if she could give him some of her lunch. Her mom said yes and smiled. + +Sara ran to the man and gave him her sandwich and apple. The man thanked her and smiled too. He told her he used to be a lawyer, but he lost his job and his home. He said he had made some bad choices and hurt some people. He said he wished he had been more kind and honest, like Sara. + +Sara was surprised and curious. She asked him why he had made bad choices and how he could fix them. The man said he had been greedy and selfish, and he had lied and cheated. He said he could not fix his past, but he could try to do better in the future. He said he was looking for a new job and a place to stay. He said he was sorry for what he had done and he wanted to help others too. + +Sara learned a lot from the man. She learned that lawyers could do good or bad things, depending on their choices. She learned that being kind and honest was more important than being rich and powerful. She learned that everyone could make mistakes, but everyone could also change and improve. She decided to be a lawyer who helped people who had problems, but also who did not cause problems. She hugged the man and wished him good luck. She went back to her mom and told her what she had learned. Her mom was proud of her and said she would be a great lawyer someday. +Tom and Ben are brothers. They like to play with toys and books. But sometimes they fight and say mean things. + +One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a label that says "lab". They open the box and see many things inside. There are tubes and bottles and wires and lights. They look like fun. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up a tube with a red liquid. "I wonder what it does." + +"Let me see!" Ben says. He tries to grab the tube from Tom. "It's mine!" + +"No, it's mine!" Tom says. He pulls the tube back. "You always want what I have!" + +They tug and pull and yell. The tube slips from their hands and falls on the floor. It breaks and the red liquid spills everywhere. It makes a loud snap and a big smoke. + +"Uh-oh," Tom and Ben say. They cough and cover their eyes. + +Dad hears the noise and runs to the garage. He sees the mess and the smoke. He is angry and scared. + +"What have you done?" he shouts. "This is not a toy! This is my lab! It has chemicals and experiments! It is dangerous!" + +He picks up Tom and Ben and takes them outside. He puts them on the grass and checks if they are hurt. + +"Are you okay?" he asks. + +Tom and Ben nod. They are sorry and scared. + +"We're sorry, Dad," they say. "We didn't know. We just wanted to play." + +Dad hugs them and sighs. He is glad they are okay. + +"I know, boys," he says. "But you have to be careful. You can't touch things you don't know. You could get hurt or break something. You have to ask me first." + +Tom and Ben nod again. They understand. + +"We will, Dad," they say. "We won't touch your lab again. We promise." + +Dad smiles and kisses them. + +"Good," he says. "Now let's go inside and clean up. And then we can read a book or play a game. Something safe and fun." + +Tom and Ben smile and hug Dad. They are happy and love him. + +They think his lab is cool, but also stupid. They don't want to play with it anymore. They have better things to do. +Tim had a big box that he liked to play with. He made it into a house, a car, a boat and many other things. He used crayons to draw on the box and make it look nice. He was very proud of his box. + +One day, his mom told him that they had to move to a new home. She said they had to pack all their things in boxes and put them in a big truck. Tim was sad and scared. He did not want to leave his box behind. He asked his mom if he could take his box with him. + +"Sorry, Tim, but we can't take your box. It's too big and we don't have enough space. You can take your toys and your clothes, but you have to quit playing with your box and say goodbye to it," his mom said. + +Tim felt angry and sad. He did not want to quit playing with his box. He loved his box. He ran to his box and hugged it. He cried and said, "No, no, no! I don't want to quit! I want to keep my box!" + +His mom came to him and tried to comfort him. She said, "I know you love your box, Tim, but sometimes we have to let go of things that we can't keep. Maybe you can find a new box in our new home and make it into something else. Or maybe you can find something even better than a box. Look, I have a surprise for you." + +She opened a small box that she had in her hand and showed Tim what was inside. Tim's eyes widened and he gasped. Inside the box was a small, furry kitten. It was black and white and had bright green eyes. It meowed and licked Tim's finger. + +"This is your new friend, Tim. His name is Spot. He needs a home and someone to play with. Do you want to take him with you?" his mom asked. + +Tim smiled and nodded. He forgot about his big box and reached for the kitten. He held it in his arms and felt its warm, furry body. He said, "Hi, Spot. I'm Tim. I'm your new friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +The kitten meowed and rubbed its head against Tim's cheek. Tim giggled and hugged it. He said, "Thank you, mom. I love Spot. He's better than a box." + +His mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Tim. I'm glad you like Spot. Now let's go and pack your things. We have to leave soon." + +Tim nodded and followed his mom. He still felt a little sad about his box, but he was happy to have Spot. He thought that maybe his new home would be nice and he would make new friends. He decided to quit being sad and be brave. He had Spot and his mom with him, and that was enough. +Lily and Mom went to the big store. They wanted to buy a new dress for Lily. Lily liked pink dresses. She saw a pink dress with flowers in the window. She said, "Mom, look! I want that dress!" + +Mom smiled and said, "OK, let's go inside and try it on." They walked to the door and pushed a button. The door opened and they saw a big box with buttons. Mom said, "This is an elevator. It can take us up and down." She pushed another button and the door closed. + +Lily was curious. She saw many buttons with numbers. She wanted to touch them. She reached out her hand and pushed one. The elevator made a beep sound and started to move. Mom said, "Lily, stop! Don't push the buttons. We need to go to the second floor, not the fifth floor." + +Lily was scared. She did not like the elevator. It was too fast and too loud. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I don't like the elevator. Can we get out?" Mom hugged her and said, "It's OK, Lily. We will get out soon. The elevator will stop at the second floor. Then we can find your pink dress." + +The elevator stopped and the door opened. Lily and Mom got out and saw many dresses. Lily saw the pink dress with flowers. She ran to it and said, "Mom, this is the one! Can I try it on?" Mom said, "Yes, of course. Let's go to the fitting room." They went to the fitting room and Lily tried on the pink dress. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She said, "Mom, I love it! It's so pretty!" Mom said, "You look beautiful, Lily. Let's buy it and go home." They paid for the dress and left the store. Lily was happy. She said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best!" Mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are the best, too!" They hugged and walked to the car. They did not use the elevator again. +Tom and Lily like to play pretend. They have a big box that they use as a castle. Sometimes they are knights, sometimes they are princesses, sometimes they are wizards. Today they want to be dragon hunters. + +They put on their helmets and swords and go outside. They look for a dragon to fight. They see a big hill with a hole. They think there is a dragon inside. + +"Let's go and try to catch the dragon!" Tom says. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Dragons can breathe fire and bite," Lily says. + +They walk up the hill and peek into the hole. They hear a loud roar. They see a big green head with sharp teeth and red eyes. It is a dragon! + +"Hello, little dragon hunters. What do you want?" the dragon says. + +Tom and Lily are scared, but they try to be brave. + +"We want to fight you and take your treasure!" Tom says. + +"Fight me? Ha ha ha! You are too small and weak. And I have no treasure. I only have books. Do you like books?" the dragon says. + +Tom and Lily are surprised. They like books. They have many books at home. + +"Yes, we like books. What books do you have?" Lily says. + +"I have books about stories, animals, stars, and magic. Do you want to see them?" the dragon says. + +Tom and Lily nod. They forget about fighting. They want to see the books. + +The dragon invites them into his hole. He shows them his books. They are big and colorful. He reads them some stories. They laugh and learn. + +Tom and Lily and the dragon become friends. They play pretend together. Sometimes they are knights, sometimes they are princesses, sometimes they are wizards. And sometimes they are dragons. +Lila and Tom like to jog in the park. They jog fast and slow, and they see many things. They see birds and dogs and trees and flowers. Lila likes the sunflowers best. They are big and yellow and happy. + +One day, they jog to the sunflower field. They want to pick some sunflowers for their mom. But they see a big sign. The sign says: "Do not pick the sunflowers. They are for the bees and the birds." + +Lila and Tom are sad. They want to give their mom a sunflower. They look around and see a sunflower that is different. It is small and brown and droopy. It looks lazy and sad. + +"Look, Tom," Lila says. "That sunflower is not like the others. Maybe we can pick it. The bees and the birds do not want it." + +Tom nods. He thinks Lila is smart. He goes to the lazy sunflower and tries to pick it. But the sunflower is not lazy. It is tricky. It has a big thorn on its stem. It pricks Tom's hand. Tom cries out. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. "That sunflower is mean. It hurt me." + +Lila runs to Tom and hugs him. She sees the blood on his hand. She feels sorry for him. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lila says. "That sunflower is not nice. Let's go home. We can give mom a hug instead. She will like that more than a sunflower." + +Tom nods. He thinks Lila is kind. He holds her hand and they jog back to their home. They forget about the sunflowers. They only think about their mom. +Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a phone. The phone can make sounds and talk. + +One day, the phone rings. It is light and red. Tim and Mia look at it. They wonder who is calling. They want to answer. + +"Hello, hello, who is this?" Tim says. He picks up the phone and puts it to his ear. + +"Hi, Tim, this is Mom. How are you and Mia?" a voice says. It is their parent. She is at work. + +"Hi, Mom, we are good. We are playing in our room. Mia is here too." Tim says. He is happy to hear his parent. + +"Hi, Mom, I love you!" Mia says. She takes the phone from Tim and hugs it. + +"I love you too, Mia. And I love you, Tim. I will be home soon. Be good and listen to Dad, okay?" their parent says. + +"Okay, Mom, we will. Bye, bye!" Tim and Mia say. They give the phone a kiss and put it back. + +They smile and hug each other. They are glad their parent called. They wait for her to come home. They love their parent. +Tim and Mia went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and the water. They saw many things at the beach: shells, crabs, birds, and boats. + +One day, they found a big box on the sand. It was brown and had a lock on it. Tim and Mia wanted to open the box. They thought there might be treasure inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tim said. + +"But how?" Mia asked. + +"Maybe we can break the lock," Tim said. He picked up a stick and hit the lock hard. But the lock did not break. + +"Maybe we can dig under the box," Mia said. She took a shovel and dug around the box. But the box did not move. + +Tim and Mia tried many ways to open the box, but they could not. They got tired and sad. + +Mom and Dad came to see what they were doing. They saw the box and the mess they made. + +"What are you doing, Tim and Mia?" Mom asked. + +"We want to open the box," Tim said. + +"Why?" Dad asked. + +"Because there might be treasure inside," Mia said. + +Mom and Dad smiled. They knew the box was not theirs. They knew it belonged to someone else. + +"Tim and Mia, you should not open the box," Mom said. "It is not nice to take things that are not yours. You should respect other people's things." + +"Besides, you already have treasure," Dad said. "You have each other, and you have us. You have the beach and the sun and the fun. You have everything you need to be happy." + +Tim and Mia looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They hugged Mom and Dad and said they were sorry. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that the best treasure is not in a box, but in their hearts. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to travel with their mom and dad. They have passports with their photos and names. They put their passports in their backpacks when they go to the airport. + +One day, they are going to fly to a new place. They are very excited. They get in the car and drive to the airport. They check in their bags and go to the security gate. They have to show their passports to the officer. + +Anna goes first. She opens her backpack and takes out her passport. She gives it to the officer. The officer looks at it and smiles. He says, "Hello, Anna. You are a very pretty girl. Have a nice trip." + +Ben goes next. He opens his backpack and looks for his passport. He cannot find it. He feels scared. He says, "Mom, dad, where is my passport? I lost it!" + +Mom and dad look worried. They help Ben search his backpack. They find his toys, his books, his snacks, but no passport. They say, "Oh no, Ben. Did you forget your passport at home?" + +Ben feels very embarrassed. He says, "I'm sorry, mom, dad. I think I left it on my bed. I was playing with it this morning." + +Mom and dad say, "Don't worry, Ben. We can call grandma and ask her to bring it to the airport. We still have some time before our flight. It's okay. We love you." + +Ben says, "Thank you, mom, dad. I love you too. I will be more careful next time." + +They hug and wait for grandma to come. Anna gives Ben a kiss and says, "It's okay, Ben. We will still travel together. You are my best brother." +Tom and Amy were friends who liked to swim in the lake. They had a lovely time splashing and playing in the water. One day, they saw a big plastic bag floating on the surface. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside. + +"Look, Amy, a plastic bag! Maybe there is something fun in it!" Tom said. + +"Let's swim to it and find out!" Amy said. + +They swam to the plastic bag and pulled it closer. They opened it and saw many shiny things. They were coins and jewels and toys. They were very happy and excited. + +"Wow, Tom, look at all these treasures! We are so lucky!" Amy said. + +"Yes, Amy, we are! Let's take them home and show them to our parents!" Tom said. + +They stuffed the plastic bag with as many things as they could. They tried to swim back to the shore, but the bag was too heavy. They started to sink and struggle in the water. They were scared and cried for help. + +"Help, help, we can't swim!" Tom and Amy shouted. + +But no one heard them. The lake was too big and too deep. The plastic bag dragged them down and down. They could not breathe and they could not see. They drowned in the lake with the plastic bag and the treasures. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and take things that are not yours. They may be dangerous and harmful. Be happy with what you have and enjoy the simple things in life. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. They have a big family.

One day, they found a big box in the garage. Lily wanted to make a house out of the box. Max wanted to make a car out of the box. + +"I want to make a house," Lily said. "We can draw windows and a door and pretend to live inside." + +"No, I want to make a car," Max said. "We can cut out wheels and a steering wheel and pretend to drive around." + +They both pulled on the box and tried to take it away from each other. The box was delicate and it tore in the middle. Lily and Max both fell down and started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the torn box and the sad twins. She hugged them and said, "It's okay, my loves. You don't have to disagree. You can share the box and make something together." + +She helped them tape the box back together and gave them some paint and stickers. She also gave them a pepper from the kitchen. "This can be your pet," she said. "You can name it and take care of it." + +Lily and Max smiled and thanked Mom. They decided to make a spaceship out of the box. They painted it with stars and planets and stuck the pepper on the front. They named it Pepper the Space Dog. They took turns to be the pilot and the co-pilot and pretended to fly to the moon and back. They had fun and forgot about their disagreement. They hugged each other and said, "We love you, Pepper. And we love you, Mom." +Sara and Ben were playing with a puzzle on the floor. They liked puzzles because they had many colors and shapes. They tried to fit the pieces together to make a picture of a farm. + +"Look, Sara, I found the cow!" Ben said, holding a piece with black and white spots. + +"Good job, Ben! Now we need the pig and the chicken," Sara said, looking for more pieces. + +They were patient and worked hard on the puzzle. They wanted to see the whole farm. + +But then, Sara felt a tickle in her nose. She tried to ignore it, but it got worse. She covered her nose with her hand and sneezed. + +"Achoo!" + +The sneeze was so loud and strong that it made some of the puzzle pieces fly away. Ben gasped and looked at the mess. + +"Oh no, Sara, you sneezed our puzzle away!" he said, feeling sad. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to," Sara said, feeling sorry too. + +They looked at each other and then at the puzzle. Some pieces were still on the floor, but some were under the sofa, on the table, or behind the chair. + +They sighed and got up. They decided to find the missing pieces and start over. + +They were patient and worked hard on the puzzle again. They wanted to see the whole farm. + +And they did. They finished the puzzle and smiled. They were proud of their work. + +They showed their puzzle to their mom, who praised them for being patient and working hard. + +They hugged their mom and each other.

He had many toys, but his favorite was a blue car that could make noises and move. He always kept his blue car in his drawer, next to his bed, so he could find it easily. + +One day, Tom went to the park with his mom and dad. He saw other kids playing with their toys, and he wanted to join them. He asked his mom if he could bring his blue car, but she said no. She said it was too big and heavy, and he might lose it or break it. Tom was sad, but he obeyed his mom. + +He played with other toys, like a ball, a kite, and a bike. He had fun, but he missed his blue car. He wished he could hear its noises and feel its wheels. He wondered if his blue car was lonely in his drawer, without him. + +When it was time to go home, Tom ran to his room. He opened his drawer and took out his blue car. He hugged it and kissed it. He said, "I'm sorry, blue car. I missed you so much. You are my best friend." He turned it on and heard its noises. He smiled and felt happy. + +His blue car reminded him of all the fun they had together. He reminded his blue car that he loved it. They played on the floor, on the bed, and on the table.

They like to help their mom in the garden. Mom grows many things in the garden, like flowers, carrots, and tomatoes. Tomatoes are red and round and yummy. + +One day, mom tells Lily and Ben that they can raise their own tomato plants. She gives them each a small pot, some soil, and some seeds. She shows them how to plant the seeds and water them. She says they have to be patient and take good care of their plants. + +Lily and Ben are very excited. They put their pots on the windowsill, where there is a lot of sun. They water their plants every day and talk to them. They hope their plants will grow big and strong and make many tomatoes. + +After a few weeks, they see some green sprouts coming out of the soil. They are very happy and proud. They show their mom their plants and she says they are doing a great job. She says they have to wait a little longer for the tomatoes to appear. + +One morning, Lily and Ben wake up and run to the windowsill. They see something amazing. Their plants have grown taller and have some small yellow flowers. And among the flowers, they see some tiny green balls. They are the baby tomatoes! + +"Look, look!" Lily shouts. "We have tomatoes!" + +"Wow, wow!" Ben echoes. "They are so cute!" + +They hug each other and dance around. They can't wait to see their tomatoes grow bigger and redder. They wonder how they will taste. They think they will be the best tomatoes ever. + +They ask their mom if they can pick their tomatoes when they are ready. Mom says yes, but they have to share them with the family. She says they can also give some to their friends and neighbors, if they have enough. She says that is a nice way to show that they care. + +Lily and Ben agree. They think that is a good idea. They want to share their tomatoes with everyone. They think that raising tomatoes is fun and rewarding. They are very happy and grateful. They thank their mom for giving them this opportunity. They say they love her and they love their tomatoes. +Tom and Lily were on a big ship with their mom and dad. They liked to look at the water and the fish and the birds. One day, they saw a brown island with many trees and flowers. Mom and dad said they could go and play on the island for a while. + +Tom and Lily ran to the shore and found a lot of shells and rocks and sticks. They made a castle with them and pretended to be kings and queens. They had so much fun that they did not hear the horn of the ship. The ship was leaving the island and going to another place. + +"Tom, Lily, come back! The ship is going!" Mom and dad shouted from the deck. They waved their arms and tried to get their attention. + +Tom and Lily looked up and saw the ship moving away. They dropped their shells and rocks and sticks and ran to the water. They tried to swim to the ship, but it was too far and too fast. They started to panic and cry. + +"Help! Help! Don't leave us!" They screamed. + +A small boat saw them and came to rescue them. The boat took them to the ship and gave them to mom and dad. Mom and dad hugged them and kissed them and said they were sorry. They said they thought they were on the ship and did not see them on the island. They said they would never leave them again. + +Tom and Lily were happy to be back on the ship. They said they were sorry too. They said they would never run away again. They said they loved mom and dad and the ship and the water and the fish and the birds. And they said they did not like the brown island anymore. +Tom and Mia are playful friends. They like to run and jump and laugh in the park. They see a big green ball near a tree. They run to the ball and want to play with it. + +"Can I kick the ball first?" Tom asks Mia. + +"OK, you can kick the ball first. But then I want to kick it too," Mia says. + +Tom kicks the ball hard. The ball flies in the air and lands on the other side of the park. Tom and Mia run after the ball. They want to kick it again. + +But when they get to the ball, they see a big dog. The dog is angry and barks at them. The dog thinks the ball is his toy. The dog does not want to share. + +"Go away, dog! This is our ball!" Tom shouts. + +The dog does not listen. The dog runs to Tom and bites his leg. Tom cries out in pain. Mia is scared and runs away. + +The dog takes the ball in his mouth and runs away too. Tom and Mia lose the ball and the dog. They are sad and hurt. They wish they had not kicked the ball so hard. They wish they had played with something else. +Anna loved to sing. She sang every day, at home, at school, and with her friends. She had a beautiful voice and knew many songs. She was happy when she sang. + +One day, her teacher told the class that there was a singing contest. The winner would get a big prize. Anna wanted to join the contest.

She decided to sing with them and for them. She decided to be kind and humble.

She learned that being happy is good, but making others happy is better. She learned a valuable lesson. +Lily was hungry. She wanted a cookie. She saw a jar of cookies on the shelf in the kitchen. She tried to reach it, but it was too high. She looked for a chair to stand on, but Mom had moved them away. She was angry. + +She saw a stool by the sink. She dragged it to the shelf and climbed on it. She stretched her hand to the jar, but it was still too far. She leaned over the edge of the stool, but it was wobbly. She almost fell, but she caught the shelf with her other hand. She was scared. + +She heard Mom coming. She knew Mom would be mad if she saw her on the stool. She wanted to get down, but she also wanted a cookie. She tried to resist, but she could not. She grabbed the jar and pulled it to her. It was heavy. It slipped from her hand and crashed to the floor. Cookies and glass flew everywhere. She was shocked. + +Mom ran into the kitchen and saw the mess. She saw Lily on the stool, crying. She was worried. She picked her up and hugged her. She checked her for cuts and bruises. She was relieved. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You could have hurt yourself. You know you are not allowed to climb on the stool. That was very stupid." + +Lily sobbed. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was hungry. I wanted a cookie. I could not resist." Mom sighed. She said, "I know, sweetie. But cookies are not good for you. You have to eat your lunch first. And you have to ask me before you take anything from the shelf. That's the rule. Do you understand?" Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you." Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's clean up this mess and have some lunch. And maybe later, you can have one cookie as a treat. But only one, OK?" Lily agreed. She said, "OK, Mom. Thank you." They hugged again and went to get the broom and the dustpan. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with animals. One day, they went to the zoo with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. Lily and Ben wanted to touch the animals, but their mom and dad told them to be careful and stay behind the fence. + +"Animals are not toys, they are wild and can hurt you," their mom said. + +"But they look so cute and fluffy," Lily said. + +"Maybe we can pet them if we are very quiet and gentle," Ben said. + +They saw a big cage with a sign that said "Do not feed the bears". Inside the cage, there was a brown bear sleeping on a pile of hay. Lily and Ben thought the bear looked like a big teddy bear. They wanted to give him a hug. + +They waited until their mom and dad were looking at another animal, and then they sneaked to the cage. They climbed over the fence and opened the door of the cage. They tiptoed inside and approached the bear. + +"Hello, Mr. Bear, we are Lily and Ben, and we want to be your friends," Lily whispered. + +The bear opened his eyes and saw the two children. He was not happy. He growled and showed his teeth. He got up and moved towards them. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They realized they made a big mistake. They turned around and ran to the door, but it was too late. The door was locked. They were trapped in the cage with the angry bear. + +"Help, help, mom, dad, help!" they cried. + +Their mom and dad heard their screams and ran to the cage. They saw their children inside with the bear. They were terrified. They shouted for help and looked for a zookeeper. + +A zookeeper came and saw the situation. He quickly grabbed a key and opened the door. He told Lily and Ben to get out of the cage and stay away from the bear. He also told the bear to calm down and gave him some honey. + +Lily and Ben ran to their mom and dad and hugged them. They were crying and shaking. They said they were sorry and that they would never do that again. + +Their mom and dad were relieved and angry. They scolded Lily and Ben for being foolish and reckless. They told them they could have been hurt or killed by the bear. They told them they should always listen to them and follow the rules. + +Lily and Ben nodded and apologized. They learned their lesson. They understood that animals are not toys, and that they should be careful and respect them. They also understood that their mom and dad wanted to prevent them from danger and protect them. They thanked the zookeeper for saving them and said goodbye to the bear. They left the zoo and went home. They never forgot that day. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun and laughing. + +But then, a big dog came running towards them. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. Ben and Lily did not know the dog. They felt scared. They did not want the dog to take their ball or bite them. + +"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. He tried to pick up the ball, but the dog was faster. The dog grabbed the ball with its mouth and ran away. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Lily cried. She ran after the dog, but the dog was too fast. She could not catch it. + +Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They had lost their ball. They did not know what to do. They looked around for help. + +They saw a man sitting on a bench. He was reading a book. He had a leash in his hand. The leash was attached to the dog. + +"Excuse me, sir," Ben said. He walked up to the man. "That's our ball. Your dog took it. Can we have it back, please?" + +The man looked up from his book. He saw Ben and Lily. He saw the dog with the ball. He smiled. + +"I'm sorry, kids," he said. "I didn't see what happened. My dog likes to play with balls. He didn't mean to steal yours. He's a good dog. He just wants to have fun." + +He called the dog. The dog came back to him. He took the ball from the dog's mouth. He gave it to Ben. + +"Here you go," he said. "I hope you're not too upset. Do you want to play with my dog? He's very friendly. He won't hurt you. He likes kids." + +Ben and Lily looked at the dog. The dog looked at them. He wagged his tail. He licked his lips. He seemed nice. He seemed sorry. + +Ben and Lily felt better. They were not scared anymore. They were not angry anymore. They thanked the man. They decided to play with the dog. They threw the ball and the dog fetched it. They petted the dog and the dog licked them. They had fun and laughed. + +The man watched them. He was happy. He liked to see kids and dogs playing together. He thought they were great. He went back to his book. He did not worry. He knew they were safe. +Tim and Liz are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big pool with water and toys. They splash and laugh and have fun. + +One day, they see a big patch of dirt near the fence. They wonder what is under the dirt. They take their shovels and dig and dig. They find a shiny metal box. They open the box and see many coins and jewels. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim says. "We are rich!" + +"Let's take them to the pool and wash them!" Liz says. "They are dirty and dusty!" + +They run to the pool with the box. They dump the coins and jewels in the water. They soak them and rub them and make them shiny. They are happy and excited. + +But they do not see the lazy cat that is sleeping on the fence. The cat wakes up and sees the shiny things in the water. The cat likes shiny things. The cat jumps into the pool and grabs a coin with its mouth. Then it jumps out and runs away. + +"Hey, stop!" Tim shouts. "That is ours!" + +"Come back!" Liz cries. "Give it back!" + +They chase the cat, but the cat is fast and clever. It hides under a bush and waits. It thinks it will take more coins and jewels when the twins are not looking. + +The twins are sad and angry. They look for the cat, but they cannot find it. They go back to the pool and count their coins and jewels. They see that one coin is missing. + +"Where is it?" Tim asks. "Who took it?" + +"I don't know," Liz says. "Maybe it was the wind." + +They do not know that the cat is watching them. The cat is happy and proud. It thinks it is rich, too. +Tom and Anna like to play in the garden. They have a lot of fun with the flowers, the bugs and the birds. Sometimes they help their mum with the herbs. She grows mint, basil and rosemary in pots. She says herbs are good for cooking and smelling. + +One day, Tom and Anna find a new herb in the garden. It has purple flowers and a strong smell. They pick some and sniff it. It smells like lemon and honey. They think it is brilliant. They want to show it to their mum. + +But their mum is busy in the kitchen. She is making a cake for their dad's birthday. She tells them to mind the oven and not to touch it. It is very hot and can hurt them. She says she will look at their herb later. + +Tom and Anna are sad. They want their mum to see their herb now. They think it is very special. They decide to put some in the cake. They think it will make the cake smell and taste brilliant too. + +They sneak into the kitchen and sprinkle some herb on the cake batter. They are very careful not to touch the oven. They are happy. They think they are helping their mum. + +But when their mum comes back, she is not happy. She sees the herb on the cake and says it is not good. She says it is lavender and it is not for eating. It can make them sick. She says they should have minded her and not touched the cake. + +Tom and Anna are sorry. They did not know lavender was not for eating. They thought it was brilliant. They say they are sorry and hug their mum. She hugs them back and says it is okay. She says she loves them and their herb. She says she will make a new cake and they can keep the lavender for smelling. She says they can help her decorate the cake with icing and sprinkles. They are happy again. They say they love their mum and their dad and their herb. They say they will mind their mum next time. +Sara and Ben were friends who liked to play at the park. They loved to go on the slide, but sometimes they had to wait for their turn. One day, they saw a new slide that was very big and wild. It had twists and turns and loops and bumps. Sara and Ben wanted to try it, but they were scared. + +"Can we borrow some courage from each other?" Sara asked Ben. + +"Sure, let's do it!" Ben said. They held hands and climbed up the ladder. They looked down and saw how high and fast the slide was. They felt their hearts beat fast. + +"Are you ready?" Sara asked Ben. + +"Yes, are you?" Ben asked Sara. + +"Yes, let's go!" Sara said. They pushed off and slid down the wild slide. They screamed and laughed and felt the wind in their hair. They reached the bottom and felt very happy and proud. + +"That was so fun!" Sara said. + +"That was so brave!" Ben said. + +They hugged and thanked each other for borrowing courage. They learned that sometimes it is good to try new things, even if they are scary. They also learned that friends can help each other overcome their fears. They decided to go on the slide again, and again, and again. +Anna likes to play in the garden. She digs in the dirt with her spoon. She finds many worms. They are long and slimy. Anna thinks they are funny. + +She picks up a green worm. It wiggles in her hand. She wants to show it to her brother. She runs to the house. She sees her brother in his room. He is playing with his cars. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Anna says. "I have a green worm!" + +Ben looks at Anna. He does not like worms. He thinks they are gross. He makes a face. + +"Yuck, Anna, yuck!" Ben says. "Put that worm away! It does not fit in the house!" + +Anna is sad. She likes her worm. She thinks it is cute. She does not want to put it away. She wants to keep it as a pet. + +"Please, Ben, please!" Anna says. "Can I keep the worm? I will give it a name. I will feed it. I will be nice to it." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want a worm in the house. He does not want a worm as a pet. He wants Anna to leave him alone. + +"No, Anna, no!" Ben says. "You cannot keep the worm! It belongs in the garden. It is not a pet. It is a bug. Go away, Anna, go away!" + +Anna is sad. She does not understand why Ben is so mean. She loves her worm. She thinks it is special. She decides to go back to the garden. She will find a nice place for her worm. She will visit it every day. She will be its friend. +Sara liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a basket for her books. She liked to make everything neat and tidy. + +One day, she saw a black bug on the floor. It had six legs and two wings. It was crawling near her basket of books. Sara was curious. She wanted to see the bug better. + +She picked up the bug gently and put it in her hand. She said, "Hello, bug. What are you doing here? Do you like books?" + +The bug did not answer. It wiggled its legs and tried to fly away. Sara felt the bug tickle her hand. She giggled. + +She said, "You are funny, bug. But you do not belong here. You belong outside, with the other bugs. Come on, I will take you there." + +She opened the window and let the bug go. She watched it fly away. She said, "Bye, bug. Have fun. Maybe I will see you again." + +She closed the window and went back to her toys. She organized them again. She was happy. She had a new friend. +Sam and Anna were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to pretend with other things too. Sam found a stick and a string. He tied the string to both ends of the stick. He made a bow. + +"Look, Anna, I have a bow. I can shoot arrows with it," he said. + +Anna looked at Sam's bow. She thought it was not very good. She saw a long sock on the floor. She picked it up and stuffed it with some paper. She made a snake. + +"Look, Sam, I have a snake. I can scare you with it," she said. + +Sam and Anna laughed. They decided to play a game. Sam was a hunter and Anna was a snake. They ran around the room, chasing and hiding. Sam tried to shoot his bow at Anna, but he missed. Anna tried to bite Sam with her snake, but he dodged. + +They had fun, but they also made a mess. They knocked over a lamp, a vase, and a pillow. They did not notice that the pillow fell near the fireplace. The fireplace was on, because it was cold outside. The pillow caught fire. + +"Uh-oh," Sam said, when he saw the smoke. + +"Uh-oh," Anna said, when she smelled the fire. + +They ran to the door and called for help. Their mom and dad came quickly. They saw the fire and put it out with water. They were not happy. + +"Sam, Anna, what have you done?" their mom asked. + +"We were playing, mom. We did not mean to," Sam said. + +"We are sorry, mom. We did not see the fire," Anna said. + +Their mom and dad hugged them. They were glad they were safe. + +"Playing is good, but you have to be careful. You have to watch out for the fireplace. It can be dangerous," their dad said. + +"We know, dad. We will be careful next time," Sam and Anna said. + +Their mom and dad smiled. They helped them clean up the mess. They gave them some cookies and milk. They told them a story. + +"Your bow and your snake are not very useful, are they?" their mom asked. + +"No, mom. They are not," Sam and Anna said. + +"Maybe you can use them for something else. Maybe you can make them into a gift for someone. Maybe you can make them into a decoration for the tree. Maybe you can make them into a toy for the dog. What do you think?" their dad asked. + +Sam and Anna thought. They had some ideas. They nodded. + +"Yes, dad. We can do that. We can make them useful," they said. + +They finished their cookies and milk. They took their bow and their snake. They went to their room. They made something new. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they see birds and bugs and chase them. + +One day, they find a new tree in the yard. It is very tall and has big green leaves. Tom says, "This is a palm tree. I saw it in a book. It grows in hot places." + +Mia says, "Wow, it is so pretty. Can we climb it?" + +Tom says, "Yes, let's try. Maybe we can see the sky better." + +They run to the palm tree and try to climb it. They hold on to the trunk and the leaves. They go up and up. They feel the wind and the sun on their faces. They are very happy. + +But soon they get tired. Climbing is hard work. They find a cozy spot on the tree and sit down. They look at the clouds and the birds. They yawn and close their eyes. They nap on the palm tree. + +Their mom comes out and looks for them. She sees them on the tree and smiles. She says, "My clever twins. They found a nice place to nap. But they should come down soon. It is time for lunch." + +She calls their names and wakes them up. They open their eyes and see their mom. They wave and say, "Hi, mom. We are on the palm tree. It is fun." + +Mom says, "I see that. But you should be careful. The palm tree is not a bed. Come down now and have some food. You must be hungry." + +Tom and Mia nod and slide down the tree. They hug their mom and follow her to the house. They are hungry and thirsty. They eat and drink and tell their mom about their adventure. Mom listens and laughs. She says, "You are very clever and brave. But next time, nap on your beds, okay?" + +Tom and Mia say, "Okay, mom. We love you." + +They love their mom and their palm tree. They are happy. +Lila and Tom were playing in the sand. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They had a bucket and a shovel each. + +"Look at my castle!" Lila said. "It has a big tower and a flag." + +"Wow, it's very nice!" Tom said. "But mine is bigger and stronger. It has a wall and a moat." + +They were having fun, but then a harsh wind came. It blew the sand in their eyes and hair. It knocked down their castles and filled their holes. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cried. "The sand hurts!" + +"Me too, me too!" Tom cried. "Let's go away!" + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a towel. She saw them and called their names. + +"Lila, Tom, what's wrong?" she asked. + +"The wind is bad!" Lila said. "It ruined our sand play!" + +"The sand is mean!" Tom said. "It stings us!" + +Mom hugged them and wiped their faces. She gave them some water and a snack. + +"I'm sorry, my loves," she said. "The wind is harsh today. But don't worry, the sand is not mean. It's just sand. It can be fun or hard, depending on the weather. Maybe we can come back another day, when it's calm and sunny." + +Lila and Tom nodded. They felt better. They ate their snack and cuddled with mom. They looked at the sand and the wind. They hoped they could play again soon. +Tim and Sam were friends. They liked to play with kites in the park. One day, they found a big kite in a tree. It was red and blue and had a long tail. + +"Wow, look at that kite!" Tim said. "Let's get it down and fly it!" + +"OK, but be careful!" Sam said. "The tree is high and the branches are sharp." + +Tim climbed the tree and reached for the kite. He pulled hard, but the kite was stuck. He pulled harder, and the kite came loose. But Tim lost his balance and fell to the ground. + +"Tim, Tim, are you OK?" Sam shouted. He ran to Tim and saw that he was hurt. He had a big cut on his arm and his leg was twisted. He was crying. + +"Sam, it hurts, it hurts!" Tim sobbed. "Help me, please!" + +Sam tried to comfort Tim. He hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Tim, I'm here. I'll get help. You'll be OK." + +He left Tim on the grass and ran to find a grown-up. He saw a lady with a dog and told her what happened. She called an ambulance and followed Sam to Tim. + +But when they got there, Tim was not there. The kite was not there either. The grass was empty. Sam looked around and saw a big truck driving away. It had a sign that said, "Kite Factory". + +Sam realized that the truck had taken Tim and the kite. He felt very sad and scared. He wished he had never seen the kite. He wished he had stayed with Tim. He wished he could fly away with him. +Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they found shiny ones or colorful ones. They put them in a bucket to take home. + +"Look, Lily, I found an oyster!" Ben said, holding up a big, gray shell. "Maybe there is a pearl inside!" + +"What is a pearl?" Lily asked, curious. + +"A pearl is a small, round thing that is very pretty and shiny. Oysters make them in their shells. But not all oysters have pearls. Only some," Ben explained. + +"Can we open it and see?" Lily asked, excited. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Oysters can be sharp and hard to open. And we have to be gentle. Oysters are alive and they can feel," Ben said. + +They took the oyster to a rock and tried to pry it open with a stick. They heard a soft click and saw a crack in the shell. They pulled it apart and looked inside. + +There was no pearl. Only a slimy, gray thing that looked like a tongue. + +"Yuck!" Lily and Ben said together, making a face. + +They threw the oyster back into the water and ran away. + +"That was a boring oyster," Lily said. + +"Yeah, a very ordinary oyster," Ben agreed. + +"Let's find something else to play with," Lily said. + +They ran along the beach, looking for more fun things to discover. They forgot about the oyster and the pearl. They were happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to follow her big brother Sam. Sam was very wise and knew many things. He taught Lily how to tie her shoes, how to ride a bike, and how to draw animals. Lily wanted to be like Sam when she grew up. + +One day, Sam told Lily he had a surprise for her. He said he found something amazing in the woods and he wanted to show her. Lily was very excited and followed Sam to the woods. She hoped the surprise was a butterfly, a flower, or a bird. + +But when they got to the woods, Lily saw that the surprise was not a butterfly, a flower, or a bird. It was a big, scary, angry bear. The bear roared and ran towards them. Lily was very scared and screamed. Sam was scared too and grabbed Lily's hand. They ran away from the bear as fast as they could. + +They reached their home and slammed the door behind them. They were safe, but they were still shaking. Lily hugged Sam and cried. Sam hugged Lily and said he was sorry. He said he was not wise, he was foolish. He said he should not have followed the bear's tracks, he should have listened to his mom. He said he should not have put Lily in danger, he should have protected her. + +Lily forgave Sam and said she loved him. She said he was still wise, but he made a mistake. She said everyone makes mistakes, but they can learn from them. She said she learned not to follow strangers, even if they promise surprises. She said she learned to follow her mom, her dad, and her brother, because they love her and care for her. She said she learned to be brave, but also to be careful. She said she learned a lot from Sam, even from his mistake. +Lily and Tom were playing near the river. They liked to watch the water and the fish and the birds. Sometimes they threw stones or sticks into the water and saw how far they went. + +"Look, Tom, I found a big leaf!" Lily said, holding up a green and yellow leaf. "It is so pretty and soft. I want to keep it." + +"That is a nice leaf, Lily," Tom said. "But how will you keep it? It will get dry and brown soon." + +Lily thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. "I know! I will fold it and make it into a boat. Then it will stay green and yellow." + +She showed Tom how to fold the leaf in half, then in half again, then in half one more time. She opened up the folds and made a pointy shape. "See, Tom, this is a boat. It has a sail and a mast and a hull." + +"Wow, Lily, that is a clever boat. Can I make one too?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, Tom, here is another leaf. You can fold it like I did." Lily gave Tom a leaf and helped him make a boat. + +They put their boats on the water and watched them float. The boats were graceful and fast. They followed the current of the river and bobbed up and down. Lily and Tom cheered and clapped. + +"Look, Lily, our boats are having fun. They are racing each other," Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, they are. They are happy boats. I hope they find a nice place to rest," Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy too. They loved their boats and the river. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to climb the slide and slide down. Ben is scared. He thinks the slide is too high. + +"Come on, Ben, let's climb the slide!" Lily says. She runs to the ladder and starts to climb. + +"No, Lily, it's too high! I don't want to climb!" Ben says. He stays on the ground and watches Lily. + +Lily reaches the top of the slide. She looks down and sees Ben. She smiles and waves. "Don't be scared, Ben, it's fun! You can do it!" she says. + +Ben hears Lily. He wants to be brave like his sister. He takes a deep breath and walks to the ladder. He puts his hand on the first rung and starts to climb. He feels his heart beat fast. + +He climbs higher and higher. He sees Lily waiting for him at the top. He hears music from the park. He hears his mom cheering for him. He feels happy. + +He reaches the top of the slide. He joins Lily and gives her a hug. "I did it, Lily, I climbed the slide!" he says. + +"Good job, Ben, you are brave!" Lily says. "Now let's slide down together!" + +They hold hands and slide down the slide. They laugh and scream. They land on the soft grass. They run to their mom and hug her. + +"Mom, we climbed the slide and slid down!" they say. + +"I'm so proud of you, Lily and Ben! You are both brave and strong!" mom says. "And you are safe and sound!" + +They smile and kiss mom. They feel safe and happy. They love to play in the park with their mom. They love each other. The end. +Lily was very happy. She had an invitation in her hand. It was from her friend Ben. He invited her to his birthday party. It was on Saturday. Lily liked parties. She liked cake and games and balloons. + +She ran to her mom and showed her the invitation. "Look, mom, look! Ben invited me to his party! Can I go, please, please, please?" she asked. + +Mom smiled and hugged her. "Of course you can go, Lily. Ben is a good friend. And you are a good girl. You can go to his party and have fun. But first, we need to buy a present for him. What do you think he would like?" + +Lily thought hard. She knew Ben liked cars and trucks and planes. She also knew he liked books and puzzles and animals. She decided to buy him a book about cars and trucks and planes. She thought he would like that. + +They went to the store and found the book. Lily was very proud. She paid with her own money. She had saved it from her piggy bank. She asked mom to help her wrap the book with colorful paper and a bow. + +On Saturday, Lily put on her party dress and her shoes. She took the present and the invitation. She was ready to go. Mom drove her to Ben's house. There were many other kids there. They all said hello to Lily. Ben came out and saw her. He smiled and waved. "Hi, Lily! I'm so glad you came! Thank you for the present! Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +Lily nodded and waved back. "Hi, Ben! Happy birthday! You're welcome! Yes, I want to play with you!" she answered. + +They ran inside and joined the other kids. They played and laughed and had a lot of fun. Lily was very happy. She had a good time at Ben's party. She was glad he was her friend. +Anna is a little girl who likes to play with her toys. She has a doll, a ball, a car and a bear. She likes to make them talk and have fun. Sometimes, she plays with her big brother Tom, who is tall and has a computer. + +One day, Anna sees Tom sitting at his computer. She is curious and wants to see what he is doing. She walks to him and says, "Tom, what are you doing?" + +Tom looks at her and smiles. He says, "I am playing a game on the computer. Do you want to see?" + +Anna nods and climbs on a chair next to him. She sees a lot of colors and shapes on the screen. She hears some sounds and music. She says, "Wow, this is pretty. What is the game about?" + +Tom says, "This is a game where you have to match the same colors and shapes. See, like this." He points to the screen and clicks on some buttons. He makes some rows of red circles disappear and get points. He says, "This is fun and easy. Do you want to try?" + +Anna says, "Yes, please. Can I play too?" + +Tom says, "Sure, you can play. Here, I will show you how." He moves the mouse and the keyboard closer to her. He helps her to move the shapes and click on them. He says, "Good job, Anna. You are doing great." + +Anna is happy and excited. She likes to play the game with Tom. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I like your computer." + +Tom says, "You are welcome, Anna. You are a good sister. I like to play with you." They hug and laugh. They play the game for a while and have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and share toys. But they do not like to eat the same food. Lily likes soft and sweet food. Ben likes hard and salty food. + +One day, Mom makes a large cake for them. It is brown and round and smells good. Mom says, "This is a special cake. It has a surprise inside. You can taste it and find out." + +Lily and Ben are curious. They each take a big bite of the cake. But they make different faces. Lily feels something hard and crunchy in her mouth. She does not like the texture. She spits it out and says, "Yuck! What is this?" + +Ben feels something soft and gooey in his mouth. He does not like the texture. He spits it out and says, "Blech! What is this?" + +Mom laughs and says, "This is a nut and chocolate cake. The nuts are hard and the chocolate is soft. Some people like both, some people like one or the other. You can try another piece or have something else." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They do not want to try another piece. They do not like the surprise. They say, "No, thank you. We want something else." + +Mom says, "Okay, then. How about some fruit and cheese? You can choose what you like." + +Lily and Ben nod and smile. They like fruit and cheese. They each pick their favorite and enjoy their snack. They are happy and hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. They liked to match their dolls and cars by color and shape. Anna had a pink doll and a pink car. Ben had a blue doll and a blue car. They were happy. + +One day, Anna's mom said she had to go away. She said she and Anna's dad had a troubled marriage. They did not love each other anymore. They did not match. Anna was sad. She did not want her mom to go. + +She asked Ben to play with her. She brought her pink doll and her pink car. Ben brought his blue doll and his blue car. They tried to match their toys, but they did not fit. Anna's pink doll was too big for Ben's blue car. Ben's blue doll was too small for Anna's pink car. They got angry. + +"Why can't we match?" Anna cried. "Why can't our toys match? Why can't my mom and dad match?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe matching is hard. Maybe matching is not always good. Maybe we can play without matching." + +He gave Anna a hug. He said he was sorry. He said he was her friend. He said they could play with different toys. He said they could play with colors and shapes. He said they could have fun. + +Anna smiled. She said she was sorry too. She said he was her friend. She said they could play with different toys. She said they could play with colors and shapes. She said they could have fun. + +They put away their dolls and cars. They took out their crayons and paper. They drew pictures of their families. They drew pictures of their toys. They drew pictures of their dreams. They did not match. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play with something fun. They saw a big box of paints in the closet. They took out the paints and some paper. They went to the kitchen. + +"Let's mix the paints and make new colors!" Lily said. + +"OK, but we need water too," Ben said. + +They turned on the faucet and filled a cup with water. They dipped their brushes in the water and then in the paints. They mixed the paints on the paper. They made purple, green, orange, and brown. + +"Look, I made a flower!" Lily said, showing her paper. + +"I made a car!" Ben said, showing his paper. + +They were happy with their paintings. They wanted to make more. They used up all the paints in the box. They looked for more paints in the closet. They found another box. It had a label that said "Cheap Paints". + +"Let's use these ones!" Ben said. + +He opened the box and took out a paint. He squeezed it on the paper. It was very runny and watery. It did not make a nice color. It made a mess. + +"Yuck, these paints are bad!" Lily said. + +She tried another paint. It was the same. It was not bright or smooth. It was dull and lumpy. + +"These paints are cheap. They are not good for mixing," Lily said. + +She threw the paint in the trash. Ben did the same. + +"Let's go back to the faucet and wash our hands," Ben said. + +They went to the faucet and turned it on. They washed their hands and their brushes. They dried them with a towel. + +"Next time, let's use the good paints," Lily said. + +"OK, and let's ask Mom first," Ben said. + +They agreed. They put their paintings on the fridge. They were proud of their work. They hugged each other and smiled. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight and make a mess. Mom does not like that. She tells them to share and be nice. + +One day, Anna and Ben see a shiny medal on the table. It is Mom's medal. She got it for running fast in a race. Anna and Ben want to play with the medal. They think it is pretty and fun. + +"Let me have it!" Anna says. She grabs the medal from Ben. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. He pulls the medal from Anna. + +They tug and tug. The medal breaks. The ribbon snaps. The metal falls on the floor. Anna and Ben are scared. They know Mom will be angry. + +Mom comes in. She sees the broken medal. She sees Anna and Ben. She is very sad and mad. + +"Who did this?" Mom asks. + +Anna and Ben are quiet. They do not want to tell. + +Mom knows they are both guilty. She says, "You are both bad. You broke my medal. You did not listen to me. You did not share. You did not care. You are punished. No TV, no cookies, no stories for a week. Go to your room now." + +Anna and Ben are sorry. They cry and say, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you. We love your medal. We did not mean to break it. Please forgive us." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "I love you too. But you have to learn. You have to be good. You have to respect my things. You have to say sorry when you do something wrong. Maybe I can fix the medal. Maybe you can help me. But you are still punished. Go to your room and think about what you did." + +Anna and Ben go to their room. They feel bad. They wish they did not break the medal. They wish they did not fight. They wish they were good. They hope Mom will be happy again. They hope they can make it up to her. They hope they can get the medal back. They hope they can be good twins. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. They play together in the park. + +One day, Lily sees a new toy in Ben's hand. It is a hairy monkey. It can make noises and move its arms. Lily likes the hairy monkey. She wants to play with it. + +"Can I have your hairy monkey?" Lily asks Ben. + +"No, it is mine. I got it from my grandma. It is very fun," Ben says. + +"Please, let me have it. I will give you my doll. It is very pretty," Lily says. + +"No, I don't want your doll. I like my hairy monkey," Ben says. + +Lily gets angry. She tries to grab the hairy monkey from Ben. Ben holds it tight. They pull and tug. The hairy monkey starts to make loud noises. It sounds like it is shouting. + +"Stop it! Stop it! You are hurting my hairy monkey!" Ben shouts. + +"Give it to me! Give it to me! It is my turn to play with it!" Lily shouts. + +They shout and shout. They make a lot of noise. They do not hear the teacher coming. The teacher sees them fighting. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing? Why are you shouting and fighting?" the teacher asks. + +They stop and look at the teacher. They feel scared. They do not know what to say. + +The teacher takes the hairy monkey and the doll. She puts them on a table. + +"You need to learn how to share and trade. You cannot just take someone else's toy. You have to ask nicely and wait for your turn. If you want to play with a different toy, you have to trade with your friend. Do you understand?" the teacher says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. + +The teacher smiles. She gives them back their toys. She tells them to play nicely and have fun. + +Lily and Ben say thank you to the teacher. They decide to trade their toys for a while. They play with the hairy monkey and the doll. They have fun. They are friends again. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big puddle near the road. They wanted to splash in the puddle with their boots. They asked their mom if they could go. + +"Okay, but be careful and don't wander too far," mom said. + +Lily and Tom put on their boots and ran to the puddle. They had fun splashing and jumping in the water. They saw a frog and a snail and some rocks. They forgot what mom said and wandered away from the puddle. + +They came to a fence with a sign that said "Keep Out". They were curious and climbed over the fence. They saw a big house with a lot of junk in the yard. They saw a bike, a doll, a ball, and a boot. They wanted to play with the boot. + +They picked up the boot and saw that it was dirty and smelly. They heard a loud bark and saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was angry and wanted the boot. Lily and Tom were scared and dropped the boot. They ran back to the fence and climbed over it. + +They heard a voice shouting at them. It was the owner of the house and the dog. He was mad and said they were bad kids. He said they should not wander into his yard and touch his things. He said he would tell their mom. + +Lily and Tom ran back to the puddle. They were ashamed and sorry. They hoped mom would not be angry. They saw mom waiting for them. She looked worried and cross. + +"Where have you been? I told you not to wander too far. What have you done?" mom asked. + +Lily and Tom told mom what happened. They said they were sorry and they would not do it again. Mom hugged them and said she was glad they were safe. She said they should not go to places where they were not welcome. She said they should respect other people's things. She said they should listen to her and be careful. + +Lily and Tom nodded and said they understood. They took off their boots and went inside. They learned their lesson and did not wander again. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the forest near their home. They liked to climb trees, look for bugs, and make mud pies. One day, they saw a big bird with bright feathers and a long tail. They wanted to see it up close, so they followed it deeper into the forest. + +"Look, Lily, the bird is on that branch!" Tom said, pointing to a high tree. + +"Let's go, Tom, maybe we can touch it!" Lily said, running towards the tree. + +They tried to climb the tree, but it was too tall and slippery. They struggled to hold on to the bark and the leaves, but they kept falling down. They got dirty and scratched, but they did not give up. + +"Come on, Lily, we can do it!" Tom said, reaching for another branch. + +"I'm coming, Tom, I'm almost there!" Lily said, pushing herself up. + +They climbed and climbed, until they finally reached the branch where the bird was. They were very proud of themselves, and smiled at each other. They stretched their hands to touch the bird, but it flew away with a loud squawk. + +"Bye, bird, thank you for showing us your feathers!" Tom said, waving. + +"Bye, bird, you are very pretty and fast!" Lily said, clapping. + +They looked around, and realized they were very high up. They could see the whole forest, and their home in the distance. They felt happy and amazed, but also a little scared. + +"How do we get down, Tom?" Lily asked, holding his hand. + +"Don't worry, Lily, we can do it. We just have to be careful and go slowly," Tom said, hugging her. + +They started to climb down, helping each other along the way. They were brave and smart, and soon they reached the ground. They were dirty and tired, but also very happy. They ran back to their home, where their mom was waiting for them. + +"Mom, mom, we saw a big bird in the forest, and we climbed a high tree, and we touched it, and it flew away, and we came down, and we are proud!" Tom and Lily said, talking at the same time. + +Their mom hugged them and kissed them, and said, "Wow, you had a big adventure, my little explorers! I'm proud of you too, but you also made me worry. Next time, don't go too far into the forest, okay?" + +"Okay, mom, we're sorry, we love you!" Tom and Lily said, nodding. + +They went inside, and their mom gave them some cookies and milk. They ate and drank, and told their mom more about their adventure. They were happy and proud, and they dreamed of the big bird and the high tree. +Lily and Tom were bored. It was cold and rainy outside. They could not play in the park or ride their bikes. They looked at their mom, who was reading a book on the sofa. + +"Mom, can we bake something?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, that sounds like fun. What do you want to bake?" Mom said. + +"Cookies!" Tom said. + +"OK, let's go to the kitchen and see what we have. You can help me measure and mix the ingredients," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom followed Mom to the kitchen. They put on aprons and washed their hands. Mom gave them a big bowl, a wooden spoon, some flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and chocolate chips. They took turns pouring, cracking, stirring, and tasting. They made a soft dough and rolled it into balls. Mom put the balls on a baking sheet and slid it into the oven. + +"Now we have to wait for the cookies to bake. They will be ready in 15 minutes. Do you want to do something while we wait?" Mom asked. + +"Can we make a fire in the fireplace?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, that sounds cozy. Let's go to the living room and get some wood and matches," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom followed Mom to the living room. They helped her stack some wood in the fireplace and light a match. They watched the flames grow and crackle. They felt warm and happy. + +"Mom, you are the best. We love you," Tom said. + +"I love you too, my sweeties. You are fine helpers and bakers," Mom said. + +They hugged and snuggled on the sofa. They smelled the cookies and heard the timer beep. + +"Time to take out the cookies. They are done. Let's go to the kitchen and enjoy them," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom followed Mom to the kitchen. They saw the cookies on the counter, golden and gooey. They each took one and bit into it. It was delicious. + +"Mmm, these are the best cookies ever. Thank you, Mom," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, my darlings. Thank you for baking with me. You made this rainy day fun," Mom said. + +They smiled and ate more cookies. They were not bored anymore. They were happy. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play and laugh. One day, they find a yellow bottle in the park. It has a picture of a lemon on it. + +"Look, lemon juice!" Tom says. "I am thirsty. Let's drink it." + +"OK, but be careful. Maybe it is not good." Sam says. + +They open the bottle and drink. It is very sour. They make funny faces and spit it out. + +"Yuck! This is not lemon juice. This is a joke!" Sam says. + +They look at the bottle again. It has small words under the lemon. They cannot read them. They are too hard. + +But a man sees them. He is angry. He runs to them and grabs the bottle. + +"Hey, you little brats! That is not lemon juice. That is my cleaning fluid. It is very bad for you. It can make you sick. Why did you drink it?" He yells. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They feel sick in their tummies. They start to cry. + +"Sorry, mister. We did not know. We thought it was lemon juice. We were thirsty." Tom says. + +"Sorry is not enough. You have to pay for my cleaning fluid. And you have to go to the doctor. And you have to tell your parents. And you have to learn to read. And you have to stay away from my things. And you have to..." The man says. + +He does not stop. He is very mean. He makes Tom and Sam feel worse. They wish they never drank the yellow bottle. They wish they never played in the park. They wish they never met the man. They wish they never made a joke. They wish they never were friends. +Jen and Ben are friends. They like to dance. They have different styles. Jen likes to jump and spin. Ben likes to shake and slide. They have fun together. + +One day, they go to a big party. There are many people and music. Jen and Ben want to dance. They see a white floor. It is shiny and smooth. They think it is a good place to dance. + +They run to the white floor. They start to dance. Jen jumps and spins. Ben shakes and slides. They are happy. But they do not know that the white floor is not for dancing. It is for skating. It is ice. + +Soon, they hear a loud noise. It is a horn. It is a warning. They look up. They see a big truck. It is coming fast. It is a Zamboni. It is a machine that cleans the ice. It is very big and heavy. It does not see Jen and Ben. + +Jen and Ben are scared. They try to run away. But they slip and fall. The ice is too slippery. They cannot get up. They scream for help. But no one hears them. The truck is too loud. It is too late. The truck hits them. It crushes them. They are gone. + +The people at the party are shocked. They are sad. They cry. They wonder why Jen and Ben were on the ice. They did not know the rules. They did not listen to the signs. They did not pay attention to the danger. They were careless. They paid a high price. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful where you dance. Know the rules. Listen to the signs. Pay attention to the danger. Or you might get hurt. Or worse. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy planes. They made them soar in the air and pretended they were pilots. One day, they found a big hill near their house. They thought it would be fun to make their planes soar from the top of the hill. + +They took turns to throw their planes and watch them fly. Tom threw his plane first. It soared high and far and landed softly on the grass. Lily clapped and said, "Wow, Tom, your plane is so good!" + +Then Lily threw her plane. It soared high and far too, but it hit a tree and fell down. Lily was sad and ran to get her plane. But when she got there, she saw that her plane was broken. The wing was snapped and the propeller was bent. Lily cried and said, "Oh no, my plane is ruined!" + +Tom ran after her and saw her plane. He felt sorry for her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily, your plane was so good too. Maybe we can fix it with some tape and glue." + +But Lily was angry. She thought Tom had thrown his plane too hard and made her plane hit the tree. She said, "No, you can't fix it! It's your fault! You broke my plane!" + +Tom was hurt and said, "No, I didn't! It was an accident! You're being mean!" + +They started to argue and shout at each other. They forgot about their planes and their fun. They only wanted to make each other feel bad. + +A lady who was walking her dog saw them and came over. She was a nurse and she wore a badge that said "patient". She asked them what was wrong and listened to their story. She said, "I see. You both love your planes and you wanted to make them soar. But sometimes things go wrong and we can't control them. That doesn't mean you have to be angry and blame each other. You can be kind and help each other. Maybe you can share your planes and play together again." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and felt ashamed. They realized they had been silly and rude. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They thanked the lady for her advice and gave her a smile. They decided to share their planes and play together again. They learned to be more patient and forgiving. They had more fun and made their planes soar. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with trains. They had many toy trains of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them go fast on the tracks and make loud noises. + +One day, they went to see a real train with their dad. It was a big, black train that ran on coal. They saw the coal in a big cart behind the train. The coal was hard and black and dirty. They wanted to touch it, but their dad said no. + +The train had a fat, round engine that made steam and smoke. It had a loud whistle that made them cover their ears. It had a shiny bell that rang when it was ready to go. Ben and Sam admired the train very much. They thought it was the most amazing thing they had ever seen. + +They watched the train leave the station with a puff and a chug. They waved goodbye to the train and its driver. They wished they could ride on the train and see where it went. They decided to go home and play with their toy trains and pretend they were real. They had a lot of fun with their trains and their imagination. +Tom loved to paint. He had many colors and brushes. He liked to paint things he saw or imagined. One day, he decided to paint a train. He had a toy train that he used as a model. He painted the train red and blue, with black wheels and a yellow horn. + +"Look, Mommy, I painted a train!" he said, showing his picture to his mother. + +"That's very nice, Tom," his mother said, smiling. "You are very good at painting. Do you want to hang it on the wall?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom said, happy. He gave his picture to his mother, who put it on a hook on the wall. Tom admired his train. He wished he could ride on a real train someday. + +The next day, Tom and his mother went to the park. They saw a big sign that said "Train Rides". Tom's eyes lit up. He pointed to the sign and said, "Mommy, can we go on the train?" + +"Sure, Tom, why not?" his mother said, taking his hand. "Let's go and buy a ticket." + +They walked to the ticket booth, where a man in a hat and a uniform was selling tickets. He looked troubled. He had a frown on his face and he kept looking at his watch. + +"Hello, sir, we would like two tickets for the train ride, please," Tom's mother said, politely. + +"I'm sorry, ma'am, but the train is broken," the man said, sadly. "It won't start. We have to wait for someone to fix it. It might take a long time." + +Tom felt his heart sink. He wanted to go on the train so badly. He looked at the train, which was parked on the tracks. It looked like his painting, but bigger and shinier. He wondered what was wrong with it. + +"Can I see the train, Mommy?" he asked, hopefully. + +"Sure, Tom, we can go and look at it, but we can't go inside," his mother said, understanding. "Maybe we can come back another day when it's working." + +They walked to the train and looked at it. Tom saw the red and blue paint, the black wheels, and the yellow horn. He also saw a lot of wires and pipes and buttons and levers. He was curious about them. He wanted to touch them and see what they did. + +He saw a door that was open. He slipped away from his mother and ran to the door. He climbed up the steps and entered the train. He felt a thrill of excitement. He was inside a real train! + +He looked around and saw a seat and a steering wheel. He guessed that this was where the driver sat. He wanted to be the driver. He sat on the seat and grabbed the steering wheel. He pretended to drive the train. He made noises with his mouth, like "choo-choo" and "beep-beep". + +He saw a big red button that said "Start". He wondered what would happen if he pushed it. He reached for the button and pressed it. He heard a loud noise and felt a jolt. The train started to move! + +Tom was scared. He didn't know how to stop the train. He tried to pull the steering wheel, but it didn't work. He tried to push the button again, but it didn't work. He tried to scream, but no one heard him. He was alone on a moving train! + +He looked out the window and saw his mother. She was looking for him. She saw him on the train. She was shocked and scared. She ran after the train, but it was too fast. She shouted his name, but he couldn't hear her. She was crying. + +Tom was crying too. He wished he had never pushed the button. He wished he had never entered the train. He wished he had stayed with his mother. He wished he had listened to her. He wished he had been happy with his painting. He wished he could go back. He wished the train would stop. +Anna and Ben were very happy. It was Christmas Eve and they wanted to decorate the tree. They had many shiny things to put on the tree: balls, stars, lights, and ribbons. They also had candy canes, their favorite candy. + +"Can I have a candy cane, please?" Ben asked his mom. + +"Sure, but only one. You have to save some for the tree and for Santa," mom said. + +Anna and Ben each took a candy cane and started to decorate the tree. They hung the candy canes on the branches, along with the other shiny things. They tried to make the tree look pretty and colorful. + +When they were done, they stepped back and looked at the tree. It was huge and bright. They smiled and clapped their hands. + +"Wow, our tree is so beautiful!" Anna said. + +"Yes, it is. And I bet Santa will love it too," Ben said. + +They hugged each other and their mom. They were very happy. They could not wait for Santa to come and bring them more candy and toys. They hoped he would like their tree and their candy canes. They said good night to the tree and went to bed. They dreamed of candy and Christmas. +One day, Tom and his mom went to the zoo. Tom was very happy. He wanted to see the lions. He liked lions. They were big and yellow and had long hair. + +Mom and Tom walked to the lion house. They saw many lions. Some were sleeping, some were playing, some were roaring. Tom wanted to get closer. He saw a new lion. It was a baby lion. It was small and cute and had short hair. + +Tom stepped away from mom. He stepped over the fence. He stepped on the grass. He stepped towards the baby lion. He wanted to pet it. He did not see the big lion. The big lion was the baby lion's mom. She saw Tom. She did not like Tom. She was angry. + +Mom saw Tom. She was scared. She shouted, "Tom, come back! The lion is dangerous!" Tom heard mom. He turned around. He saw the big lion. He was scared too. He ran back. He stepped on the grass. He stepped over the fence. He stepped to mom. Mom hugged him. She was glad. + +The zookeeper came. He saw what happened. He was mad. He said, "You should not step over the fence. You should not go near the lions. They can hurt you. You are lucky. You are safe. But you are naughty. You should listen to mom. You should follow the rules." + +Tom was sorry. He said, "I am sorry, mom. I am sorry, zookeeper. I just wanted to see the new lion. I did not know it was bad. I will not do it again. I will be good." Mom and zookeeper forgave him. They said, "It is okay, Tom. We are happy you are okay. But you should be careful. You should be smart. You should enjoy the zoo, but from a distance." Tom nodded. He learned his lesson. He said, "I will, mom. I will, zookeeper. Thank you." He held mom's hand. They walked away. They saw other animals. Tom liked the zoo. But he did not step over the fence again. He did not go near the lions again. He was good. +Lila and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were in a castle. Lila was the princess and Tom was the knight. They used a rug as a cape and a spoon as a sword. + +"Look, Tom, the sun is shining!" Lila said, pointing to the window. "It makes the rug sparkle like a jewel." + +"Yes, it does," Tom said. "But we have to be careful. The dragon might see us and try to steal our treasure." + +They hid behind the couch and peeked out. They saw a big shadow on the wall. It looked like a dragon with wings and claws. + +"Roar!" the shadow said. "I smell princess and knight. Give me your treasure or I will eat you!" + +Lila and Tom screamed. They ran to the door, but it was locked. They tried to open it, but it was too hard. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "Mom! Dad!" + +But no one heard them. Mom and Dad were outside, talking to the mailman. They did not know that the shadow was not a dragon, but their big brother Sam. He had put a lamp and a coat hanger on the table and made the shadow with his hands. He liked to scare Lila and Tom. He thought it was funny. + +He laughed and laughed as he watched them cry and beg. He did not stop until Mom and Dad came back and saw what he had done. They were very angry. They scolded Sam and sent him to his room. They hugged Lila and Tom and said they were sorry. They gave them cookies and milk and told them it was just a prank. + +But Lila and Tom did not feel better. They were still scared and sad. They did not want to play with the rug or the spoon anymore. They did not want to pretend they were in a castle. They did not like Sam. They did not like the shadow. They did not like the shine. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw a man sitting on a bench. He looked sad and he was crying. + +"Why is he crying, mom?" Sara asked. + +"I don't know, sweetie. Maybe he is lonely or has a problem," mom said. + +Sara and Tom wanted to help the man. They walked to him and said hello. The man looked at them and smiled a little. + +"Hello, kids. You are very kind to talk to me," he said. + +"What is your name?" Tom asked. + +"My name is Ben. I am new in this town and I don't have any friends," he said. + +"That is sad. We can be your friends," Sara said. + +"Thank you, that is very nice of you. But I have another problem. I lost my wallet and I don't have any money to buy food or a bus ticket," he said. + +Sara and Tom looked at each other. They had an idea. They ran back to their mom and asked her for some money. Mom gave them some coins and a sandwich. + +"Mom, we want to help Ben. He lost his wallet and he is hungry," Sara said. + +"Who is Ben?" mom asked. + +"He is the man on the bench. He is crying and he has no friends," Tom said. + +Mom looked at the man and felt sorry for him. She nodded and said, "Okay, you can help him. But be careful and come back soon." + +Sara and Tom ran to Ben and gave him the money and the sandwich. Ben was surprised and happy. He thanked them and hugged them. + +"You are very helpful and generous, kids. You made my day better. I will use the money to buy a bus ticket and look for a job. Maybe I will find some friends too," he said. + +Sara and Tom smiled and said goodbye. They went back to their mom and told her what they did. Mom was proud of them and hugged them. + +"You did a good thing, kids. You showed kindness and compassion to someone in need. You are my little heroes," she said. + +Sara and Tom felt happy and warm. They learned that helping others can make them happy too. They played some more in the park and then went home. They hoped that Ben would be okay and find his way. +Jen and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. Jen and Tom are scared of the dog. + +"Run, Jen, run!" Tom says. He grabs Jen's hand and they run away from the dog. They hide behind a tree. They hear the dog bark and growl. + +"Is the dog gone?" Jen asks. She is shaking. She feels worry in her tummy. + +"I don't know," Tom says. He peeks from behind the tree. He sees the dog. The dog is not chasing them. The dog is playing with a ball. The ball is red and squeaky. The dog looks happy. + +"Jen, look," Tom says. He points at the dog. "The dog is not mean. The dog is playing. The dog is not scary." + +Jen looks at the dog. She sees the ball. She sees the dog's tail wag. She realizes that Tom is right. The dog is not mean. The dog is playing. The dog is not scary. + +"Maybe the dog is lonely," Jen says. She feels sorry for the dog. She feels bitter in her mouth. She does not like to be scared. + +"Maybe we can be friends with the dog," Tom says. He smiles. He likes to make friends. He does not like to be scared. + +"Okay," Jen says. She smiles too. She likes to make friends. She does not like to be scared. + +They come out from behind the tree. They walk slowly to the dog. They say hello to the dog. The dog stops playing. The dog looks at them. The dog wags its tail. The dog is friendly. + +Jen and Tom are happy. They play with the dog. They throw the ball. They pet the dog. They laugh. They are not scared. They are not bitter. They are not worried. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big swamp near their house. It was green and wet and had many frogs and bugs. Lily wanted to go closer and see the swamp, but Ben was scared. + +"Mom said we should not go near the swamp. It is dirty and dangerous.
