Ben says. + +"Oh, that is not good. That is very bad. I am sorry for you." the lady says. She opens her bag and gives them some crayons and paper. "Here, you can have these. They are new and pretty. You can draw again and have fun." + +Lily and Ben are surprised and happy. They see the crayons and paper. They are new and pretty. They have many colors: pink, orange, brown, and more. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" they say. They hug the lady and smile. + +"You are welcome, welcome, welcome!" the lady says. She hugs them back and smiles too. + +They go back to their table and draw again. They forget the smelly dog and the mess. They have fun and talk. + +"Look, I draw a big heart!" Lily says.

They are friends. They are happy. The end. +Lila was a modest girl who liked to help her mom and dad. She did not want many toys or clothes, but she loved to bathe in the pond near her house. She liked how the water felt on her skin and how the mist made her hair wet. + +One day, Lila saw a new girl in her class. Her name was Rina and she had many toys and clothes. She also had a big pool in her backyard. Rina was not modest at all. She liked to show off and brag about what she had. She made fun of Lila for bathing in the pond. She said it was dirty and smelly. + +Lila felt sad and angry. She wanted to tell Rina to stop being mean, but she did not know how. She decided to ignore her and keep bathing in the pond. She knew that the pond was not dirty or smelly. It was clean and fresh. She also knew that having many toys and clothes did not make Rina happy. She was always bored and lonely. + +One day, Rina came to Lila's house. She wanted to see the pond that Lila bathed in. She thought it was a joke. She followed Lila to the pond and laughed. She said it was small and ugly. She said she would never bathe in it. She said she would rather bathe in her pool. + +Lila felt sorry for Rina. She saw that Rina did not know how to enjoy the simple things in life. She decided to be kind and invite her to bathe in the pond with her. She said it was fun and relaxing. She said it would make her feel good. + +Rina was surprised by Lila's offer. She did not expect her to be nice after she was mean. She felt ashamed and curious. She decided to try bathing in the pond with Lila. She took off her shoes and socks and stepped into the water. She felt the water touch her feet and the mist touch her face. She felt a new sensation. She felt calm and happy. + +Lila smiled at Rina. She saw that Rina liked bathing in the pond. She saw that Rina was not so bad after all. She decided to be friends with her and share her toys and clothes. She said it was more fun to share than to show off. + +Rina smiled back at Lila. She saw that Lila was a modest and generous girl. She saw that Lila had something that she did not have. She had gratitude and joy. She decided to be friends with her and learn from her. She said it was more important to be kind than to brag. + +The moral of the story is: Be modest and kind, and you will find happiness in the simple things in life. +Sam and Mia are in the car with Mom. They want to go to the park and play on the swings. But the car is not moving fast. There are many cars on the road. Mom says this is traffic. + +"Mom, why is there traffic?" Sam asks. + +"Because many people want to go to the same place at the same time," Mom says. "Sometimes the road is rough and has bumps or holes. That makes the cars slow down." + +"Can we go faster?" Mia asks. + +"Sorry, sweetie, we have to wait until the traffic clears," Mom says. "We can play a game while we wait. How about I spy?" + +"Okay!" Sam and Mia say. They look out the window and try to find things that start with different letters. + +"I spy with my little eye something that is red," Mom says. + +"Is it a fire truck?" Sam guesses. + +"No, it is not a fire truck," Mom says. + +"Is it a stop sign?" Mia guesses. + +"Yes, it is a stop sign! Good job, Mia!" Mom says. + +Mia claps her hands. Sam looks for another red thing. + +"I spy with my little eye something that is red and has a tail," Sam says. + +"Is it a fox?" Mia guesses. + +"No, it is not a fox," Sam says. + +"Is it a kite?"

You should listen to your mom and dad. They recommend you to stay away from things you do not know. They love you and want you to be safe. I do not care about you. I only care about myself. You learned a hard lesson today." + +The moral of the story is: Do not be foolish and chase things that are not good for you. Listen to your parents and follow their advice.

He does not want to stop. + +"Not now, Anna," Ben says. "I want to finish my tower. It is very tall. You can see it later." + +Anna is sad. She is persistent.

Go away!" + +Anna is angry. She is persistent. She does not go away. She pushes Ben's tower. It falls down. The blocks scatter everywhere. + +"Anna, why did you do that?" Ben says. He is very upset. He worked hard on his tower. He starts to cry. + +Anna feels sorry. She is persistent. She wants to make Ben happy. She picks up the blocks. She helps Ben to build his tower again. It takes a long time. But they do it together. + +"Thank you, Anna," Ben says. He smiles. He is happy again. He hugs Anna. + +"You are welcome, Ben," Anna says. She smiles too. She is happy too. She hugs Ben. + +"Can I show you my video now?" Anna says. + +"Okay, Anna," Ben says. "You can show me your video. I want to see it." + +They go to Anna's room. They watch the video.

They have fun. +Tim and Mia were young lions who liked to play in the city. They ran and jumped on the cars and the buses, and made loud noises. They thought it was fun, but the people did not. They were scared of the lions and ran away. + +One day, Tim and Mia saw a big picture on a wall. It was a billboard. It showed a lion with a big mane and a big roar. The billboard said: "The King of the Jungle. Coming soon to the zoo." + +"Wow, look at that lion!" Tim said. "He is so big and strong. I want to be like him." + +"Me too," Mia said. "He must be the best lion ever." + +They decided to go to the zoo and see the lion. They followed the signs and found the gate. They sneaked in and looked for the lion. They saw many animals, but not the lion. + +"Where is he?" Tim asked. "Maybe he is hiding." + +"Maybe he is sleeping," Mia said. + +They kept looking until they found a big cage. Inside the cage, there was a lion. He was old and thin. He had no mane and no roar. He looked sad and tired. + +"Is that him?" Tim asked. "Is that the King of the Jungle?" + +"I don't think so," Mia said. "He doesn't look like the picture. He doesn't look like a king. He looks like a prisoner." + +They felt sorry for the lion. They wanted to help him. They went to the cage and said: "Hello, lion. We are Tim and Mia. We are young lions. We came to see you. Why are you here? Why are you not free?" + +The lion looked at them and said: "Hello, Tim and Mia. I am Leo. I used to be the King of the Jungle. I used to be big and strong. I used to have a mane and a roar. But then they took me away. They put me in this cage. They made me do tricks. They made me look like the picture. But it was not me. It was a lie. I am not happy here. I want to go home." + +Tim and Mia felt angry and sad. They wanted to free Leo. They looked for a way to open the cage. They saw a lock and a key. They used their teeth and their claws to break the lock and the key. They opened the cage and said: "Come on, Leo. We will take you home. We will take you to the jungle. You can be the King again. You can have a mane and a roar again." + +Leo smiled and said: "Thank you, Tim and Mia. You are brave and kind. You are my friends. Let's go to the jungle. Let's go home." + +They ran out of the zoo and into the city. They made loud noises and scared the people. They did not care. They were happy. They were free. They were lions. They roared. +Lila and Tom were playing with cubes in the playroom. They liked to build towers and castles with the cubes. They had many cubes of different colors and sizes. + +"Look, I made a big tower!" Lila said, showing Tom her creation. + +"Wow, that's very good!" Tom said. He wanted to make a tower too, but he had fewer cubes than Lila. He looked around and saw a big box of cubes in the corner. He ran to the box and opened it. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Lila asked. She was nosy and wanted to see what Tom had found. + +"I found more cubes!" Tom said. He took out some cubes and started to pile them up. + +"Can I have some too?" Lila asked. She walked to the box and reached for some cubes. + +"No, these are mine!" Tom said. He pushed Lila away and hugged the box. + +"That's not fair!" Lila said. She was angry and sad. She wanted to play with Tom, but he was being mean. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She came into the playroom and saw the mess. She was not happy. "Why are you fighting over the cubes? You have enough to share!" + +"But he took all the cubes from the box!" Lila said. + +"But she was nosy and wanted my cubes!" Tom said. + +Mom sighed. She knew they were both wrong. She decided to teach them a lesson. + +"OK, if you can't share the cubes, then you can't play with them at all. I'm going to delay your playtime and put the cubes away. You have to sit on the couch and think about what you did." + +Lila and Tom felt sorry. They knew they had been bad. They did not want to lose their playtime. They looked at each other and said sorry. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We won't fight over the cubes anymore. Can we please play with them again?" they asked. + +Mom smiled. She was glad they learned their lesson. She gave them a hug and said yes. + +"Thank you, Mom. We love you!" they said. + +They went back to the playroom and played with the cubes. They shared them and helped each other. They had fun and were happy. +Tom and Lily went to the store with Mom. They saw many things in the store. They saw toys, books, clothes, and food. Tom and Lily liked to look at everything. + +"Mom, can we go to the fish place?" Tom asked. He liked to see the fish in the big tanks. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. We have to buy some things first," Mom said. + +They followed Mom to the food place. Mom put some bread, milk, eggs, and cheese in the cart. Tom and Lily helped her. + +"Can we have some candy, Mom?" Lily asked. She saw some colorful candy in a jar. + +"No, candy is not good for you. You can have some fruit instead," Mom said. + +They went to the fruit place. Mom picked some apples, bananas, and oranges. Tom and Lily each got a grape. + +"Yum, grapes are sweet," Tom said. + +"Can we go to the fish place now, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, let's go," Mom said. + +They went to the fish place. They saw many fish in the big tanks. They saw fish with stripes, fish with spots, fish with fins, and fish with tails. They saw fish that were big, fish that were small, fish that were red, and fish that were blue. + +"Look, Mom, a jellyfish!" Tom said. He pointed to a tank with a white, wobbly thing. + +"That's a jellyfish, Tom. It's not really a fish. It's a different kind of animal," Mom said. + +"What does it do, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"It swims in the water. It has no bones, no eyes, no mouth, and no brain. But it has tentacles that can sting," Mom said. + +"Sting? Like a bee?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, like a bee. But you don't have to worry. The jellyfish in the tank can't sting you. They are safe to look at," Mom said. + +"Wow, jellyfish are cool," Lily said. + +"I think so too," Mom said. + +They watched the jellyfish for a while. They liked how they moved and glowed. They learned something new. They had fun at the store. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to Sam's house.

They are cute and brave," Lily says. + +Sam picks the video and puts it in the TV. They sit on the couch and watch. The video is impressive. The lion is loud and strong. The mouse is quiet and smart. They help each other and become friends. + +"Wow, this is a good video. I like how the lion and the mouse are friends. They are nice to each other," Lily says. + +"Me too. They are good examples.

It is brown and furry. It looks adorable. Lily and Ben want to pet it. They go near the dog. + +But the dog is not friendly. It growls and barks. It runs to Ben and grabs his jeep. It shakes it and tears it. Ben is sad and scared. He cries. + +"Give me back my jeep!" Ben shouts. + +Lily hears Ben. She runs to help him. She picks up a stick and waves it at the dog. + +"Bad dog!

Sam runs and hides behind a tree. + +Lily opens her eyes. She looks for Sam. She sees his shoes under the tree. She runs to the tree. She says, "I found you, Sam!" + +Sam laughs. He comes out from behind the tree. He says, "You are good, Lily. You are fast." + +Lily smiles. She says, "Thank you, Sam. You are good, too. You are quiet." + +They hug. They are happy. They are hungry. They go to the bench. They have a picnic. They have sandwiches and juice. They say, "Mmm, delicious!" + +They kneel on the grass. They feed the birds. They see a squirrel. They say, "Hello, squirrel!" + +They play more games. They have fun. They are friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big kangaroo. The kangaroo is brown and has a long tail. It hops around the grass and eats some leaves. + +"Wow, look at the kangaroo!" Anna says. "It is so big and fast!" + +"Can we pet it?" Ben asks. "It looks soft and nice." + +Anna and Ben run to the kangaroo. They want to touch it. But the kangaroo is careless. It does not see them. It hops and hops and hits them with its tail. Anna and Ben fall down. They hurt their heads and knees. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna and Ben cry. "The kangaroo is mean!" + +The kangaroo hears them. It stops hopping. It looks at them. It feels sorry. It goes to them and licks their faces. It tries to say sorry. + +"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" the kangaroo says. "I did not mean to hurt you. I was just having fun.

The man who owned the stand was jolly and smiled at them. + +"Hello, little ones! Do you want to see what I have?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. They ran to the stand and looked at the toys and books. They saw dolls, cars, balls, puzzles, and stories. They wanted to have them all. + +"Can we have these?" Lily asked, holding a doll and a book. + +"Can we have these?" Ben asked, holding a car and a puzzle. + +The man nodded. "Sure, you can have them. But you have to pay for them. They are not free." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not have any money. They felt sad. + +"Can we play with them for a little while?" Lily asked. + +"Can we borrow them and bring them back later?" Ben asked. + +The man shook his head. "No, you can't. These are mine. I own them. You can only have them if you pay for them. That's the rule." + +Lily and Ben felt angry. They thought the man was mean. They wanted to have the toys and books. They did not want to pay for them. They did not want to follow the rule. + +They decided to take the toys and books and run away. They thought the man would not see them. They thought they were clever. + +But they were wrong. The man saw them and shouted. "Hey, stop! You can't do that! That's stealing! That's wrong!" + +He ran after them and caught them. He took the toys and books back. He was not jolly anymore. He was angry and sad. + +He scolded Lily and Ben. "You should not steal. That's bad. You should respect other people's things. You should be honest and fair.

They said sorry to each other. They promised to never steal again. They learned their lesson. + +The man forgave them. He was jolly again. He smiled at them. + +He gave them each a small toy and a book. He said, "These are for you. You can have them. But you have to promise to take good care of them. And you have to share them with others. That's the rule." + +Lily and Ben thanked the man. They hugged him. They were happy. + +They played with their new toys and books. They shared them with other children. They followed the rule. + +They were good friends. +Lily loved to sing and dance. She liked to perform for her family and friends. She would wear a pretty dress and a shiny crown. She would sing her favorite songs and make up her own moves. She would smile and bow when she was done. + +One day, Lily saw a poster for a talent show. It said that the best performers would win candy. Lily loved candy. She wanted to win some. She asked her mom if she could join the talent show. Her mom said yes, but they had to buy a ticket. + +Lily and her mom went to the store to buy a ticket. They saw that the tickets were very expensive. Lily's mom said they could not afford them. Lily was sad. She wanted to perform and win candy. + +Then, Lily saw another poster. It said that there was a cheap talent show at the park. It said that anyone could perform and everyone would get candy. Lily was happy. She asked her mom if they could go to the cheap talent show. Her mom said yes, and they walked to the park. + +Lily and her mom arrived at the park. They saw a lot of people and a big stage. Lily signed up to perform. She waited for her turn.

She got out of her bed and went to the door. She opened it and saw her mom in the kitchen. + +"Mom, can I bring my teddy bear to the table?" she asked. + +Her mom looked at her and smiled. "Sure, you can bring your teddy bear, but you have to be quiet. Dad is working in the office and he needs to focus." + +Lily nodded and ran to her room. She grabbed her teddy bear and hugged it. She liked her teddy bear. It was soft and brown and had a red bow. She brought it to the table and sat on a chair. + +"Mom, can I ask you a question?" she said. + +"Of course, you can ask me a question. What do you want to know?" her mom said. + +Lily thought for a moment. She had many questions in her head. She wanted to know why the sky was blue, why the birds sang, why the flowers smelled. But she chose one question that she was very curious about. + +"Mom, where do babies come from?" she asked. + +Her mom looked at her and blinked. She did not expect that question. She wondered how to answer it in a simple way that Lily would understand. + +"Well, Lily, that is a very good question. Babies come from love. When two people love each other very much, they can make a baby together. The baby grows inside the mommy's tummy for a long time, and then it comes out when it is ready. Do you understand?" she said. + +Lily nodded. She thought that was a nice answer. She loved her mom and dad, and they loved her. She wondered if they would make a baby brother or sister for her someday. + +"Mom, can I have a baby brother or sister?" she asked. + +Her mom looked at her and smiled. She hugged her and kissed her cheek. + +"Maybe someday, Lily. Maybe someday. But for now, you are our only baby, and we love you very much. Now, why don't you go back to your bed and take a nap? You will feel better after you rest." + +Lily nodded. She was still restless, but she was also sleepy. She brought her teddy bear back to her room and snuggled with it. She closed her eyes and dreamed of babies and love. +Anna was a daughter who liked to complain a lot. She always said she was bored, or hungry, or tired, or cold, or hot. She never said thank you or please to her mom and dad. She always wanted more toys, more candy, more TV, more fun. + +One day, Anna's mom and dad told her they were going to the park. Anna was happy, because she liked to play on the swings and the slide. But when they got to the park, Anna saw a big sign that said "Closed for repairs". She was very angry and started to cry and scream. + +"Why can't we play here? This is not fair! I hate this park! I hate you!" she shouted at her mom and dad. + +Her mom and dad were very sad and tried to calm her down. They said they were sorry, but the park was broken and they had to fix it. They said they could go to another park, or to the library, or to the zoo. They said they loved her and wanted her to be happy. + +But Anna did not listen. She kept complaining and throwing a tantrum. She did not care about her mom and dad's feelings. She only cared about herself. + +Then, Anna saw a little girl in a wheelchair. The girl had a big smile on her face and waved at Anna. She said hello and asked her name. She said her name was Lily and she was happy to see another kid. + +Anna was surprised and stopped crying. She looked at Lily and saw that she had no legs. She asked her why she had no legs. + +Lily said she was born that way. She said she could not walk or run or play on the swings or the slide.

She learned to be grateful for what she had and to be kind to others. She learned to stop complaining and to start enjoying. She learned to be happy. +Tom and Sue like to play with beans. They have a big jar of beans in many colors. They make pictures and patterns with the beans on the floor. Sometimes they count the beans or sort them by color. + +One day, Tom wants to make a big bean star. He takes all the yellow beans from the jar. Sue is sad. She wants some yellow beans too. She asks Tom to share the beans. Tom says no. He says he needs all the yellow beans for his star. + +Sue thinks this is not fair. She waits until Tom is not looking.

"It is easy and fun. I will catch you at the bottom." + +But Tommy shakes his head. He holds on to the slide and cries. He wants his mom to come and get him. + +His mom sees a boy near the slide. He has a dinosaur toy in his hand. It is green and spiky. His mom asks him, "Hi, what is your name?" + +"I am Sam," the boy says. "This is Rex. He is my dinosaur. He is brave and strong." + +"Wow, Rex is very cool," his mom says. "Do you like dinosaurs?" + +"Yes, I love dinosaurs," Sam says. "They are my favorite." + +"Tommy loves dinosaurs too," his mom says. "He has many dinosaur toys in his room. Maybe you can be friends and play together." + +Sam looks at Tommy and smiles. He walks up to the slide and says, "Hi, Tommy. I am Sam. Do you want to play with Rex? He can help you slide down. He is not afraid of anything." + +Tommy looks at Rex and feels curious. He likes his green and spiky skin. He says, "Hi, Sam. I am Tommy. Rex is very cool. Can I hug him?" + +"Sure, you can hug him," Sam says. He gives Rex to Tommy. Tommy hugs Rex and feels happy. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are very nice." + +"You are welcome, Tommy. You are very nice too," Sam says. "Do you want to slide down with Rex? He will make you feel safe." + +Tommy nods. He holds Rex in his arms and slides down with Sam. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughs and says, "Weee! This is easy and fun!" + +His mom claps and cheers. She catches Tommy and Sam at the bottom. She says, "Good job, Tommy! You did it! You are brave and strong like Rex." + +Tommy smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. I love you." He hugs his mom and Rex. He says, "And thank you, Sam. You are my friend. Do you want to play more with me and Rex?" + +Sam smiles and says, "Yes, I do. You are my friend too. Let's play more with Rex and the other dinosaurs." + +They run to the sandbox and make a dinosaur land. They have a lot of fun. They share their toys and stories. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big rock with shiny bits on it. They wanted to take it home. + +"Look, Tom, it is a mineral!" Sara said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Let me see, let me see!" Tom said. He tried to grab the rock from Sara. + +"No, it is mine!" Sara said. She pulled the rock away from Tom. + +They both struggle for the rock. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog was angry and hungry. It barked loud and showed its teeth. + +Sara and Tom were scared. They dropped the rock and ran away. But the dog was faster. It caught Tom and bit him hard. Tom cried and cried. Sara ran to get help, but it was too late. Tom was hurt very bad. The dog ran away with the rock. Sara and Tom were sad. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play pretend. One day, they pretend to have a shop. They use their toys and clothes as things to sell. + +Lily is the shopkeeper. She puts a sign on the door that says "Lily's Shop". She arranges the toys and clothes on the floor and on the bed. She has dolls, cars, books, hats, scarves, and more. + +Tom is the customer. He knocks on the door and says "Hello, can I buy something?" Lily says "Yes, welcome to Lily's Shop. What do you want?" Tom looks around and says "I want a laundry basket." Lily says "OK, I have one here. It is very heavy. It has a lot of clothes inside. Do you have enough money?" + +Tom says "Yes, I have some coins." He gives Lily some coins from his pocket. Lily says "Thank you. Here is your laundry basket. Be careful, it is heavy." Tom says "Thank you. I will take it home and wash the clothes." He picks up the laundry basket and tries to carry it. It is very heavy. He drops it and the clothes fall out. + +Lily and Tom laugh. They pick up the clothes and put them back in the laundry basket. They say "This is a fun game. Let's play again." They switch roles and pretend to sell and buy different things. They have a lot of fun. +Lily liked to test things. She liked to see what would happen if she mixed colors, or made noises, or jumped high. She was curious and brave, but sometimes she made a mess. + +One day, she found a big box in the living room. It had a bow and a tag that said "For Lily, with love". She wondered what was inside. She wanted to test it. She shook it, but it did not make a sound. She pushed it, but it did not move. She tried to open it, but it was taped shut. + +She heard her mom coming. She knew she was not supposed to touch the box. It was a surprise for her birthday. She quickly hid behind the couch and pretended to read a book. + +"Hi, Lily," her mom said. "What are you doing?" + +"Reading," Lily said. + +"That's good. Do you want to see your surprise?" + +Lily nodded. She was excited and nervous. She hoped it was something fun and not something boring. + +Her mom took her hand and led her to the box. She helped her rip the tape and lift the lid. Lily gasped. Inside the box was a beautiful doll. She had long hair, a pink dress, and shiny shoes. She looked graceful and sweet. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "She's so pretty! Thank you, mom!" + +"You're welcome, honey. She's a special doll. She can talk and sing and dance. Do you want to test her?" + +Lily smiled. She hugged the doll and pressed a button on her back. The doll said, "Hello, Lily. I'm your new friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily nodded. She felt happy and loved. She had the best surprise ever. She and the doll played and talked and sang and danced. They had a lot of fun. Lily did not make a mess. She was careful and gentle. She was a good girl. +Lily and Ben like to go to the library with Mom. They can find many books with pictures and stories. They can also play with toys and puzzles. But they have to be quiet in the library. Mom says, "Shh, this is a place to read and learn. We have to speak softly and not make noise." + +One day, Lily and Ben see a new boy in the library. He has red hair and a big smile. He says, "Hi, I'm Max. Do you want to play with me?" Lily and Ben nod and follow him to the toy corner. But Max is not quiet. He speaks loudly and laughs. He throws the toys and makes them crash. He runs around and bumps into people. He is crazy. + +The librarian comes and says, "Stop, Max. You are being rude and noisy. You are disturbing the other people. You have to follow the rules or leave the library." Max says, "No, I don't. I can do whatever I want. You can't tell me what to do." He sticks out his tongue and runs away. + +Lily and Ben are scared and sad. They don't like Max. He is mean and bad. They go back to Mom and hug her. Mom says, "It's okay, my loves. Max is not a good friend. He needs to learn how to behave and respect others. Maybe he will come back and say sorry. But you did the right thing. You were quiet and polite in the library. I'm proud of you." Lily and Ben smile and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." They pick up a book and read together. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat turkey for lunch. Mom had a big turkey in the fridge. She said they could have some if they were good. + +Lily and Ben were not good. They fought over the turkey. They pulled and pushed and yelled. They did not listen to Mom. They did not share. + +The turkey was too heavy for them. It slipped from their hands. It fell on the floor. It split in two. The turkey was dirty. The floor was dirty. Mom was angry. + +Mom came into the kitchen. She saw the mess. She saw the turkey. She saw Lily and Ben. She said, "What did you do? You wasted the turkey. You made a big mess. You are very naughty. No turkey for you. Go to your room. Now!" + +Lily and Ben were sad. They were hungry. They were sorry. They cried. They went to their room. They had no lunch. They had no turkey. They had a bad day. +Mia and Ben were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build tall stacks of different colors and shapes. Sometimes they made houses, or towers, or bridges. + +One day, they found a new block in their toy box. It was white and round, and it had a button on it. Mia pressed the button, and the block started to glow. It was bright and shiny, like a star. + +"Wow, look at this!" Mia said, holding the block in her hand. "It's brilliant!" + +"Let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the block. "Can I have it?" + +"No, it's mine!" Mia said, pulling the block away. "I found it first!" + +They started to argue, and tug, and shout. They did not want to share the block. They forgot about their stacks of blocks, and knocked them over. + +Suddenly, they heard a voice from the door. It was their mom. + +"What's going on here?" she asked, looking at the mess. "Why are you fighting?" + +They stopped and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. + +"We found a glowing block, and we both wanted it," Mia said. + +"It's brilliant, but we don't know what it does," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and walked over to them. She took the block and pressed the button again. The block stopped glowing. + +"This is a night light," she said. "It's for when you go to sleep, and you want some light in the dark. It's not a toy, and it's not for fighting. It's for sharing." + +She gave the block back to Mia and Ben. + +"Why don't you take turns using it, and see how it makes your room look at night?" she suggested. "Maybe you can make some new stacks of blocks, and see how they glow too." + +Mia and Ben nodded. They said sorry to each other, and hugged. They decided to share the block, and to play nicely. They thanked their mom, and started to build new stacks of blocks. They wondered how they would glow at night. They were excited and happy. +Tim liked to print. He had a big box of paper and many colors to make marks with. He printed his name, his dog, his house, and his friends. He was very proud of his prints. + +One day, he wanted to print something new. He looked around and saw his dad's scissors. He had an idea. He took the scissors and went to his room. He found his barber doll. It had long hair and a beard. Tim wanted to print the barber. + +He cut the barber's hair and beard with the scissors. He made them very short and funny. Then he took his red color and printed on the barber's head. He made a big red spot. He laughed and said, "Look, I printed a barber!" + +He ran to show his mom and dad. They were in the kitchen. When they saw Tim and the barber, they were very surprised. They did not like the print. They said, "Tim, what did you do? You ruined your barber doll and your dad's scissors. That was not nice. You should not cut things that are not yours. And you should not print on things that are not paper. You made a big mess." + +Tim felt sad. He did not mean to be bad. He just wanted to print. He said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I wanted to print a barber. I thought it was funny. I did not know it was wrong. Can I fix it?" + +Mom and dad hugged Tim. They said, "We love you, Tim. We know you like to print. But you have to be careful and respectful. You can't fix the barber, but you can clean up the mess. And you can print on paper as much as you want. We will help you find more things to print that are not dolls or scissors." + +Tim nodded. He said, "OK, mom and dad. I will clean up. And I will print on paper. Thank you for helping me. I love you too." He smiled and gave them a kiss. Then he went to his room with his paper and colors. He printed a sorry card for his mom and dad. He printed a heart and a flower and his name. He hoped they would like it. He thought, "Maybe I can print a new barber someday. But not with scissors or red." +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with cars. They have many cars, big and small, red and blue, fast and slow. They also have a garage for their cars. The garage is old and brown. It has a door that can open and close. + +One day, Sam and Tom see a new garage in the shop. The garage is new and shiny. It has lights and sounds. It has a lift and a ramp. It has many stickers of cars and tools. Sam and Tom want the new garage. They ask their mom if they can buy it. + +"Mom, mom, can we buy the new garage?" they say. + +Mom looks at the new garage. She looks at the price. She looks at Sam and Tom. She says, "The new garage is very nice, but it is also very expensive. We don't have enough money to buy it. You already have a garage at home. Why do you need another one?" + +Sam and Tom feel sad. They say, "But mom, our garage is old and boring. It doesn't have lights and sounds. It doesn't have a lift and a ramp. It doesn't have stickers. We want the new garage. Please, please, please." + +Mom thinks for a moment. She says, "I understand that you want the new garage, but you can't always get what you want. You have to be happy with what you have. Your garage is old, but it is also strong and cozy. It has a door that can open and close. It has space for all your cars. You can use your imagination to make it fun. You can draw your own stickers. You can pretend that it has lights and sounds. You can make your own lift and ramp. You can have a lot of fun with your old garage. Trust me, you don't need the new garage." + +Sam and Tom listen to their mom. They think about their old garage. They think about their cars. They think about their imagination. They say, "OK, mom, you are right. We don't need the new garage. We have our old garage. We can make it fun. Thank you, mom." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "You're welcome, boys. I'm proud of you. Now, let's go home and play with your old garage." + +Sam and Tom nod and smile. They hold their mom's hand and walk home. They are happy with their old garage. They have a lot of fun with their cars. They use their imagination to make it new and shiny. They love their old garage. +Lily and Ben were helping Mom and Dad decorate the big green tree in the living room. They had a box of shiny things to hang on the tree. Lily liked the red ones and Ben liked the yellow ones. They took turns to pick an ornament and find a good spot for it. + +"Look, Mom, I found a star!" Ben said, holding a yellow ornament with five points. + +"That's beautiful, Ben. Can you reach the top of the tree?" Mom asked. + +Ben stood on his toes and stretched his arm, but he was too short. "No, Mom, I can't. Can you help me?" he asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. Here, let me lift you up." Mom said, picking up Ben and holding him close to the tree. Ben smiled and put the star on the highest branch. It sparkled in the light. + +"Wow, Ben, you did a great job!" Lily said, clapping her hands. She looked at the box and saw a blue ornament. It was round and had snowflakes on it. She liked it very much. She picked it and ran to the tree. + +"Look, Dad, I found a snowball!" Lily said, showing the blue ornament to Dad. + +"That's very pretty, Lily. Where do you want to put it?" Dad asked. + +Lily looked around and saw a gap between two red ornaments. She thought it would look nice there. "There, Dad, there!" she said, pointing to the spot. + +"OK, let me help you." Dad said, picking up Lily and holding her near the tree. Lily reached out and hung the blue ornament on the branch. It looked like a real snowball. + +"Wow, Lily, you did a great job too!" Ben said, admiring the blue ornament. + +Mom and Dad smiled and hugged Lily and Ben. They were proud of their children. They looked at the tree and saw how colorful and bright it was. They had fun decorating it together. They felt happy and warm. +Anna and Ben are playing with cars on the floor. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises like vroom and beep as they move the cars around. + +"Look, this is my big red car," Ben says, holding a wide car with four wheels. "It can go very fast and loud." + +"I like your car, Ben," Anna says, "but I like my small yellow car more. It can go under the sofa and hide." + +They keep playing until they hear Mom call them for lunch. They put their cars in a box and run to the kitchen. Mom has made sandwiches and juice for them. + +"Thank you, Mom," they say, sitting at the table. They eat their sandwiches and drink their juice. They are happy and full. + +"Can we play with our cars again after lunch?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, but first you need to wash your hands," Mom says. "They are dirty from the oil on the cars." + +"Okay, Mom," they say. They go to the bathroom and wash their hands with soap and water. They dry their hands with a towel. + +They run back to the living room and take out their cars from the box. They are ready to play again. + +"Anna, can I hug your yellow car?" Ben asks. "It is so cute and shiny." + +"Okay, Ben, you can hug my car," Anna says. "But be gentle. Don't squeeze it too hard." + +Ben hugs Anna's car and smiles. Anna hugs Ben's car and smiles too. They are good friends who share their toys. + +They play with their cars until it is time for a nap. They put their cars back in the box and go to their beds. They hug their pillows and close their eyes. They dream of driving their cars on wide roads. +Ben and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a ball, a bike and a kite. They shared their toys and had fun. + +One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was brown and had a long tail. The dog was looking for food. He saw Ben and Sam's ball and ran to get it. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Ben shouted. "Give it back!" + +But the dog did not listen. He grabbed the ball with his teeth and ran away. Ben and Sam chased after him. + +"Stop, dog, stop!" Sam cried. "That's our ball, not yours!" + +But the dog was faster. He ran to a corner of the park where there was a fence. He jumped over the fence and disappeared. + +Ben and Sam were sad. They lost their ball. They had no more toys to play with. + +They sat on a bench and looked at the sky. They saw a bird flying by. The bird was blue and had a yellow beak. The bird was whistling a song. + +"Look, a bird!" Ben said. "He is whistling. Can you whistle, Sam?" + +Sam tried to whistle, but he could not. He only made a funny noise. + +"I can't whistle," Sam said. "Can you, Ben?" + +Ben tried to whistle, too. He puckered his lips and blew. He made a sound like the bird. + +"I can whistle!" Ben said. "Listen!" + +Sam listened. He smiled. He clapped his hands. + +"Wow, you can whistle!" Sam said. "That's cool!" + +Ben and Sam forgot about their ball. They tried to whistle like the bird. They had fun. + +The bird heard them. He flew down and landed on the bench. He looked at them with his bright eyes. + +"Hello, bird!" Ben said. "You have a nice song. Can we be your friends?" + +The bird nodded. He whistled again. He gave them a feather. + +"Thank you, bird!" Sam said. "You are very kind. Can we keep your feather?" + +The bird nodded again. He flew away. + +Ben and Sam were happy. They had a new friend. They had a new toy. They shared the feather and played with it. + +They learned that sometimes you can lose something, but you can also find something. They learned that whistling is fun. They learned that the park is full of surprises. +Tom and Sue have a kayak. They like to paddle on the lake. The lake is big and blue. Sometimes they see fish and ducks. + +One day, they want to go on the kayak. The sun is bright and the wind is mild. They put on their life jackets and helmets. They say bye to Mom and Dad. + +"Be careful and have fun!" Mom says. + +"We will!" Tom and Sue say. + +They get on the kayak and paddle away. They sing and laugh. They see a big rock in the water. They think it is funny. + +"Let's go around the rock!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Sue says. + +They paddle faster and faster. They do not see the other side of the rock. They do not see the rapids. They do not hear the roar. + +They go around the rock and see the rapids. They are scared. They try to paddle back. But it is too late. The rapids are strong and fast. They pull the kayak down. + +"Help!" Tom and Sue scream. + +But no one hears them. The kayak flips over. Tom and Sue fall into the water. They splash and choke. They cannot swim. They sink. + +Mom and Dad wait for them. They do not come back. They are sad. They cry. They have no kayak. They have no Tom and Sue. +Lily liked to play with her jet. It was pink and shiny and made a loud noise when she pushed a button. She liked to fly it around the room and pretend she was a pilot. She also liked to fill it with water from her cup and spray it on her toys. + +One day, Lily wanted to play with her jet in the garden. She asked her mom if she could go outside. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and not get dirty. Lily said okay and ran to the door with her jet. + +In the garden, Lily saw a big puddle. It looked like fun. She thought it would be nice to fill her jet with water from the puddle and spray it on the flowers. She did not see the mud and the worms in the puddle. She dipped her jet in the water and pressed the button. + +But nothing happened. Her jet did not make a noise or spray water. It was broken. Lily tried to shake it and hit it, but it did not work. She felt sad and angry. She threw her jet on the ground and started to cry. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to the garden. She saw Lily and her jet. She saw the puddle and the mud and the worms. She was not happy. She scolded Lily for being naughty and dirty. She took her jet and threw it in the trash. She told Lily to go inside and take a bath. Lily did not want to go. She wanted her jet back. But her mom did not listen. She dragged Lily to the house and closed the door. Lily cried more. She had no jet and no fun. She had a bad day. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. They always shared their toys and snacks. They made each other laugh and smile. + +One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Anna went first and slid down fast. She was happy and shouted, "Whee!" Ben followed her and slid down too. He was happy and shouted, "Yay!" + +But then, they saw a boy and a girl waiting for their turn. The boy and the girl looked mean. They had frowns and crossed arms. They said, "Move! We want to slide now!" + +Anna and Ben were scared. They did not want to fight. They moved away from the slide and looked for another place to play. They found a swing and a sandbox. They tried to have fun, but they felt sad. + +They missed the slide. They wished the boy and the girl would go away. They wondered why they were so mean. They wanted to be nice. + +They looked at each other and held hands. They said, "We are best friends. We always tell the truth. We always help each other. We always say sorry. We always say thank you. We always say please. We are adorable." + +They smiled and hugged. They felt better. They remembered that they had each other. They remembered that they were happy. They remembered that they were best friends. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to eat waffles for breakfast. Mom makes them waffles with syrup and butter. They smell sweet and yummy. + +Mom puts two waffles on a big plate. She says, "Here you go, Ben and Mia. Share the waffles nicely, okay?" + +Ben and Mia nod. They sit at the table. They each take a fork. They try to cut the waffles. But the waffles are too big and sticky. They pull and tug. The waffles break into pieces. + +"Hey, that's my waffle!" Ben says. He grabs a big piece. "No, it's mine!" Mia says. She grabs another piece. They start to fight. They drop the waffles on the floor. The syrup and butter make a mess. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the waffles and the twins. She is not happy. She says, "Ben and Mia, what are you doing? You are wasting the waffles. And you are making a mess. Why can't you share?" + +Ben and Mia look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We wanted to separate the waffles. But they were too big and sticky. We didn't mean to fight." + +Mom sighs. She says, "It's okay, Ben and Mia. I know you like waffles. But you have to be careful and gentle. And you have to share. How about I make you some more waffles? And this time, I will separate them for you. One for Ben and one for Mia. Is that okay?" + +Ben and Mia smile. They say, "Yes, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom. And we love waffles." + +Mom smiles too. She says, "I love you too, Ben and Mia. And I love waffles too. Now, let's clean up this mess. And then, we can enjoy our waffles together." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make noises and stories with their toys. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast and strong!" Ben said, zooming his car around the couch. + +"My doll is pretty and kind, she likes to help people," Lily said, brushing her doll's hair. + +They played happily for a while, until Ben saw something shiny on the shelf. It was a zipper. He wanted to touch it and see what it did. + +"Look, Lily, a zip!" he said, pointing to the shelf. "Can I have it?" + +Lily looked at the zip. She knew it was for Mommy's jacket. She also knew that Mommy said not to touch her things without asking. + +"Ben, no, that is Mommy's zip. She needs it for her jacket. It is cold outside," she said, shaking her head. + +"But I want to see how it works. Maybe it can make my car go faster," Ben said, reaching for the zip. + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to be a good sister and share with Ben, but she also wanted to be a good daughter and listen to Mommy. She used her brain to think of a solution. + +"Ben, I have an idea. Why don't we ask Mommy if we can use the zip? Maybe she will let us play with it for a little while, if we are careful and put it back," she said, in a thoughtful voice. + +Ben thought that was a good idea. He liked to ask Mommy things. He nodded and smiled. + +"Okay, Lily, let's ask Mommy. Come on, let's go find her," he said, holding Lily's hand. + +They left their toys and ran to the kitchen, where Mommy was making cookies. They asked her politely if they could play with the zip. Mommy was surprised, but she was also proud of them for being thoughtful and respectful. + +"Sure, you can play with the zip, but only for a few minutes, and then you have to put it back where you found it. And be careful not to hurt yourselves or break it, okay?" she said, giving them the zip. + +"Okay, Mommy, thank you!" they said, happily. + +They took the zip and ran back to the living room. They zipped and unzipped it, making funny noises and pretending it was a rocket, a snake, a necklace, and a belt. They had a lot of fun with the zip, and they remembered to put it back on the shelf when they were done. They hugged Mommy and thanked her again, and then they went back to playing with their toys. Mommy smiled and gave them a cookie each. She was glad they had such good brains and hearts. +Lila loved her pet cat, Mimi. Mimi was soft and warm and liked to cuddle with Lila. Sometimes, Mimi would spread her paws and stretch on Lila's bed. Lila would giggle and tickle Mimi's belly. + +One day, Lila saw a small bird outside her window. The bird had a hurt wing and could not fly. Lila felt sad for the bird and wanted to help. She asked her mom if she could bring the bird inside. Her mom said yes, but told Lila to be careful and gentle. + +Lila took a shoebox and lined it with some paper. She put some water and seeds in the box. Then, she carefully picked up the bird and placed it in the box. She carried the box to her room and put it on her desk. She hoped the bird would get better soon. + +Mimi was curious about the new thing in Lila's room. She jumped on the desk and sniffed the box. She saw the bird inside and licked her lips. She wanted to play with the bird, or maybe eat it. She reached her paw into the box and tried to grab the bird. + +Lila saw what Mimi was doing and ran to the desk. She shouted, "No, Mimi, no! That's not nice! The bird is hurt and needs help. You have to be compassionate and share your room with the bird. The bird is not your toy or your food. The bird is your friend." + +Mimi looked at Lila and the bird. She felt sorry for making Lila angry and the bird scared. She pulled her paw out of the box and meowed softly. She rubbed her head against Lila's hand and purred. She decided to leave the bird alone and be a good pet. + +Lila smiled and hugged Mimi. She thanked her for being compassionate and kind. She told her she loved her very much. She also told the bird she loved it and hoped it would heal soon. She put the box on the floor and spread a blanket over it. She invited Mimi to join her on the bed and cuddle. Mimi agreed and snuggled with Lila. They both fell asleep, dreaming of happy things. +Sara was angry. She did not want to drink her milk. She wanted to eat candy. She said to her mom, "No milk! Candy!" + +Mom said, "No, Sara. Milk is good for you. Candy is bad for you. You have to drink your milk." + +Sara did not listen. She grabbed her cup of milk and threw it on the floor. The milk spilled everywhere. Mom was shocked. She said, "Sara, what did you do? That is very naughty. You made a big mess." + +Sara did not care. She screamed and cried. She kicked and hit. She had a fit. She said, "I hate milk! I want candy!" + +Mom was sad and angry. She said, "Sara, stop it. You are being very rude. You have to calm down. You have to say sorry. You have to help me clean up." + +Sara did not stop. She kept having a fit. Mom did not know what to do. She needed help. She called dad. She said, "Dad, please come home. Sara is out of control. She threw her milk on the floor and had a fit. I can't handle her." + +Dad said, "Oh no, Sara. Why did you do that? That is not nice. You have to listen to mom. You have to drink your milk. You have to be good." + +Sara heard dad's voice. She stopped crying. She felt sorry. She said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I was bad. I love you." + +Dad said, "I love you too, Sara. But you have to say sorry to mom too. And you have to help her clean up the milk. And you have to drink your milk. Can you do that?" + +Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, dad. I can do that. I'm sorry, mom. I love you too." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Sara. Thank you for saying sorry. Thank you for helping me. Now, let's drink our milk together. And maybe later, we can have a little candy." +Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. They saw a big green plant with sharp spikes. It was a cactus. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "It looks like a monster!" + +Lila was curious. She wanted to touch the cactus. She walked closer to it. + +"Stop, Lila!" Tom urged. "Don't touch it! It will hurt you!" + +But Lila did not listen. She reached out her hand and touched the cactus. She felt a sharp pain. She cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila said. "It hurts! It hurts!" + +Tom ran to her and hugged her. He saw some blood on her finger. He was scared. + +"I'm sorry, Lila," Tom said. "I told you not to touch it. Come on, let's go to Mom. She will make it better." + +They ran to the house. Mom saw them and asked what happened. Tom told her about the cactus. Mom took Lila's finger and cleaned it. She put a band-aid on it. She kissed it gently. + +"There, there," Mom said. "It will be okay. The cactus is delicate. It has spikes to protect itself. You have to be careful with it. Next time, listen to Tom. He is a good brother." + +Lila nodded. She felt better. She hugged Tom and said sorry. Tom hugged her back and said it was okay. They learned a lesson. They decided to play with something else. They left the cactus alone. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the big hill near their house. They see a lot of snow on the hill. They are happy. + +They make snowballs with their hands. They throw snowballs at each other. They laugh and run. They have fun. But then, they see a fat man on the hill. He is angry. He does not like snowballs. + +He yells at Tim and Sam. He says, "Stop throwing snowballs at me! Go away!" He picks up a big snowball. He throws it at Tim and Sam. It is very fast and hard. It hits Tim on the head. It hurts. + +Tim cries. Sam is scared. They run away from the fat man. They go back to their house. They tell their mom what happened. She hugs them and gives them hot chocolate. She says, "The fat man was mean. You did nothing wrong. You can play on the hill another day. I love you." Tim and Sam feel better. They drink their hot chocolate and watch TV. They are still friends. +Lily was playing with her doll in her room. She liked to dress her doll in pretty clothes and comb her hair. She was very careful with her doll, because she was delicate and could break easily. + +Suddenly, she heard a loud noise outside. She ran to the window and saw a big truck on the street. The truck was shaking and making a lot of smoke. Lily was scared and hid under her bed. + +She saw a big shadow on the wall. It looked like a monster with horns and teeth. Lily screamed and hugged her doll. She wished her mom or dad would come and save her. + +"Who's there?" a voice said. Lily peeked out from under the bed and saw a man with a hat and a coat. He was holding a flashlight and a bag. He was not a monster, he was a mailman. + +"Hi, little girl. I'm sorry I scared you. I'm here to deliver a package for your family. It's a surprise. Do you want to see it?" the mailman said. + +Lily nodded and crawled out from under the bed. She was curious and brave. She followed the mailman to the door and saw a big box with a bow. The mailman gave her the box and smiled. + +"This is for you and your family. I hope you like it. Have a nice day!" he said and left. + +Lily was happy and excited. She opened the box and saw a beautiful teddy bear. It was soft and fluffy and had a red ribbon. Lily loved it and hugged it. She thanked the mailman and ran to show her doll and her parents her new friend. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to go to the festival with Mom and Dad. The festival has many fun things. There are balloons, games, music, and food. + +Sara and Ben see a big tent. Inside the tent, there are many people. They are painting faces. Sara and Ben want to paint their faces too. They ask Mom and Dad. + +"Can we paint our faces, please?" they say. + +"Sure, why not?" Mom and Dad say. "But you have to be careful. The paint can stain your clothes." + +Sara and Ben nod. They go inside the tent. They see many colors. They choose their favorite ones. Sara wants to be a butterfly. Ben wants to be a tiger. + +A nice lady paints Sara's face. She uses thin brushes. She makes Sara's eyes look like wings. She adds dots and glitter. Sara smiles. She looks in the mirror. She likes her face. + +A nice man paints Ben's face. He uses thick brushes. He makes Ben's nose look like a snout. He adds stripes and whiskers. Ben growls. He looks in the mirror. He likes his face. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They thank the lady and the man. They run outside the tent. They show Mom and Dad their faces. + +"Wow, you look amazing!" Mom and Dad say. "But don't touch your faces. The paint is still wet." + +Sara and Ben nod. They want to play more games. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They run to the slide. They wait in line. + +But then, something bad happens. Ben sneezes. He sneezes hard. He sneezes on his hand. He sees paint on his hand. He sees paint on his face. He feels sad. + +"Oh no, I ruined my face!" he says. + +Sara sees Ben. She feels sorry for him. She has an idea. She takes a napkin from her pocket. She wipes Ben's face gently. She wipes the paint off. She wipes his nose too. + +"Don't worry, Ben. You still look like a tiger. A nice tiger." she says. + +Ben looks at Sara. He sees her smile. He sees her face. He feels better. + +"Thank you, Sara. You are a good sister. A pretty sister." he says. + +Sara and Ben hug. They are happy again. They go on the slide. They have fun. They enjoy the festival. +Tom likes to draw with his pencil. He draws cars and trucks and houses on his paper. He is very proud of his drawings. He wants to show them to his mom and dad. + +He goes to the kitchen, where his mom is cooking. He says, "Mom, look at my drawings!" He holds up his paper. Mom smiles and says, "Wow, Tom, you are very good at drawing! Can I hang your drawings on the fridge?" + +Tom is happy. He says, "Yes, please!" He gives his paper to mom. Mom takes a magnet and hangs the paper on the fridge. Tom says, "Thank you, mom!" + +He goes to the living room, where his dad is reading. He says, "Dad, look at my drawings!" He holds up another paper. Dad looks up and says, "Wow, Tom, you are very talented! Can I hang your drawings on the wall?" + +Tom is happy. He says, "Yes, please!" He gives his paper to dad. Dad takes a tape and hangs the paper on the wall. Tom says, "Thank you, dad!" + +He goes to his room, where he has more papers. He wants to hang them all over his room. He takes his pencil and tries to poke holes in the papers. He wants to use his pencil as a hook. But his pencil is too short and too soft. It does not make holes. It breaks. + +Tom is sad. He says, "Oh no, my pencil is broken! How can I hang my drawings now?" He looks around his room. He sees his closet. He opens his closet. He sees his clothes. He sees his hangers. He has an idea. + +He takes his hangers and his papers. He clips his papers to his hangers. He hangs his hangers on his closet rod. He fills his closet with his drawings. He says, "There, now I have a gallery!" + +He is happy. He invites his mom and dad to see his gallery. They come to his room. They open his closet. They see his drawings. They say, "Wow, Tom, you are very creative! You made a gallery with your hangers and your papers!" + +Tom is proud. He says, "Thank you, mom and dad! Do you like my drawings?" They say, "Yes, we do! We love your drawings!" + +They hug Tom. They tell him he is a great artist. They tell him they are proud of him. Tom smiles. He says, "I love you, mom and dad!" +Anna and Ben love to go to the zoo with their mom. They are very eager to see all the different animals. They run and jump and point at the lions, the monkeys, the elephants and the giraffes. + +"Look, mom, look!" Anna shouts. "The lion is roaring!" + +"Wow, he is very loud and strong!" Ben says. "He is the king of the animals!" + +Mom smiles and takes their hands. "Come on, let's go to the next cage. There is a surprise for you!" + +Anna and Ben wonder what the surprise is. They follow mom to a big sign that says "Penguins". They see a lot of black and white birds that swim and slide on the ice. + +"Penguins!" Anna and Ben exclaim. "They are so cute and funny!" + +Mom nods and says, "Do you want to feed them? The zookeeper will give you some fish to throw to them." + +Anna and Ben are very excited. They nod and say, "Yes, yes, please!" + +The zookeeper comes and gives them each a bucket of fish. He tells them to be careful and gentle with the penguins. He shows them how to toss the fish into the water. + +Anna and Ben do as he says. They watch the penguins catch the fish with their beaks and eat them. The penguins make happy noises and splash around. + +Anna and Ben giggle and clap. They have so much fun feeding the penguins. They thank the zookeeper and mom for the surprise. + +They hug mom and say, "This is the best day ever! We love the zoo and the animals!" +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a new toy in their closet. It is a big brown bear with soft skin and shiny eyes. + +"Wow, look at this bear!" Anna says. "It is so nice and cuddly. I want to hug it." + +"No, I want to hug it!" Ben says. "It is my bear. You can play with something else." + +Anna and Ben start to fight over the bear. They pull and tug and shout. The bear does not like it. It makes a loud roar. + +"Stop it, stop it!" the bear says. "You are hurting me. You are not nice children. You should share your toys and be kind to each other." + +Anna and Ben are scared. They let go of the bear and look at it. They see that it is not a real bear, but a toy that can talk. + +"Who are you?" Anna asks. "How can you talk?" + +"I am a magic bear," the bear says. "I was a gift from your grandma. She wanted you to have a friend who can teach you good things. But you are not listening to me. You are being selfish and rude." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They like their grandma and they want to make her happy. They also want to be friends with the magic bear. + +"We are sorry, magic bear," Ben says. "We did not know you were a gift. We did not mean to hurt you. Can you forgive us?" + +"Of course I can forgive you," the bear says. "But you have to promise me something. You have to promise to share your toys and be kind to each other. Can you do that?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They hug the bear and each other. They say they are sorry and they love each other. + +"Good," the bear says. "Now let's play together. I have many stories to tell you. Do you want to hear them?" + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben say. They sit on the floor with the bear and listen to his stories. They laugh and learn and have fun. They are happy. The bear is happy too. He has found two new friends who will take good care of him. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises like vroom and beep when they drive them. + +One day, they find an enormous car in the garage. It is red and shiny. It has four big wheels and a loud horn. They want to drive it, but they do not know how. + +"Can we drive this car, Dad?" Tom asks. + +"No, you can't, boys. This car is not a toy. It is a real car. You need to be big and learn many words to drive a real car," Dad says. + +"But we know many words, Dad. We know red, blue, green, yellow, car, drive, horn, wheel, and more," Sam says. + +"That's good, boys, but you need to know more words. You need to know words like brake, gas, steering, signal, license, and more. And you need to follow the rules of the road. Driving a real car is not a game. It is serious and dangerous," Dad says. + +"OK, Dad. We understand. We will wait until we are big and know more words to drive a real car. Can we play with our toy cars in the driveway?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, boys. You can play with your toy cars in the driveway. But be careful and stay away from the street. And have fun," Dad says. + +Tom and Sam smile and run to the driveway. They drive their toy cars and make noises like vroom and beep. They pretend they are big and know many words. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and climb on the equipment. They were having fun, but they also wanted to surprise their mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"Let's make her a flower crown," Lily said. "She will love it." + +"OK," Ben said. "But where can we find flowers?" + +They looked around and saw some yellow and purple flowers in a corner of the park. They ran to pick them, but they did not see the sign that said "Do not touch". + +A man who worked in the park saw them and shouted. "Hey, you two! Stop that! Those are not for picking!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the flowers and ran back to their mom. They did not want to get in trouble. + +"Mom, mom, we're sorry!" Lily said. "We wanted to surprise you, but we did something bad." + +"What did you do, sweeties?" Mom asked. She saw the man coming and guessed what happened. + +"We picked some flowers, but they were not ours," Ben said. "The man was angry." + +Mom hugged them and said. "It's OK, I understand. You wanted to do something nice for me, and that's very sweet. But you have to be careful and respect the rules of the park. Those flowers are for everyone to enjoy, not to take." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry and learned their lesson. + +"Can we still surprise you, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can," Mom said. "You know what would be a great surprise? A big hug and a kiss." + +Lily and Ben smiled and gave their mom a big hug and a kiss. Mom was happy and said. "That's the best surprise ever. I love you, my fine kids." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big log near a pond. They ran to the log and climbed on it. + +"Look, Lily, a frog!" Ben said. He pointed to a green frog on the log. The frog had black spots and yellow eyes. It was very colorful. + +"Wow, Ben, it is pretty!" Lily said. She wanted to touch the frog. She reached out her hand slowly. The frog jumped away. It landed in the pond with a splash. + +"Where did it go?" Lily asked. She looked in the water. She could not see the frog. It had disappeared. + +"Maybe it is hiding," Ben said. He looked around the log. He saw some lily pads and reeds. He thought the frog might be there. + +"Let's find it, Ben!" Lily said. She jumped off the log and followed Ben. They searched for the frog. They had fun. They did not know that the frog was watching them from under a lily pad. It was happy and safe. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to bake with their mom. They helped her measure, mix and pour the ingredients for a cake. They also licked the spoons and bowls when they were done. + +"Can we eat the cake now, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. The cake needs to bake in the oven for a while. Then we need to let it cool and decorate it. Why don't we do some exercise while we wait?" mom suggested. + +"Exercise? What is that?" Ben wondered. + +"Exercise is when you move your body and have fun. It makes you strong and healthy. Do you want to try?" mom said. + +"Okay, mom. What can we do?" Lily agreed. + +Mom showed them some exercises they could do in the living room. They jumped, ran, stretched and danced. They laughed and sweated. They felt good and happy. + +After a while, the oven beeped. The cake was ready. Mom took it out and put it on a rack. It smelled yummy. + +"Wow, mom. The cake looks amazing. Can we eat it now?" Ben asked. + +"Almost, honey. We need to wait for it to cool a little. Then we can put some frosting and sprinkles on it. Do you want to help me?" mom said. + +"Yes, mom. We want to help. We love to bake with you." Lily said. + +They went to the kitchen and got the frosting and sprinkles. They spread the frosting on the cake and made patterns with the sprinkles. They made the cake look pretty and tasty. + +"Good job, kids. You are great bakers. Now we can eat the cake. But first, let's wash our hands and set the table." mom said. + +They washed their hands and set the table. They cut the cake and gave each other a slice. They ate the cake and enjoyed it. It was sweet and moist. + +"Mom, this is the best cake ever. Thank you for baking with us." Lily said. + +"Mom, you are the best mom ever. We love you." Ben said. + +"I love you too, my darlings. You make me happy. We don't need to be wealthy to have a good life. We have each other and we have fun. That's what matters." mom said. + +They hugged and smiled. They finished the cake and cleaned up. They were a happy family who liked to bake and exercise. +Tim and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a bike and a scooter. They always wore helmets to be safe. One day, they saw a big puddle near the slide. They wanted to splash in it. + +"Let's go splash in the puddle!" Tim said. + +"OK, but first we have to take off our helmets," Mia said. + +"Why?" Tim asked. + +"Because helmets are not for water. They are for bikes and scooters. If we get them wet, they might break," Mia said. + +Tim did not listen. He ran to the puddle with his helmet on. He jumped in and splashed. He laughed and said, "This is fun!" + +Mia followed him, but she took off her helmet and put it on the grass. She joined him in the puddle and splashed too. She said, "This is fun, but be careful with your helmet." + +Tim did not care. He kept splashing with his helmet on. He did not see the rock in the puddle. He tripped on it and fell. His helmet hit the rock and cracked. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow! My helmet is broken!" + +Mia ran to him and helped him up. She said, "Oh no, Tim, I'm sorry. Are you OK?" + +Tim nodded, but he was sad. He said, "My helmet is broken. Now I can't ride my bike or my scooter. I wish I listened to you." + +Mia hugged him and said, "It's OK, Tim. I'm sure we can fix your helmet or get a new one. But next time, you should listen to me. Helmets are rare and important. They protect your head. You should not splash with them." + +Tim learned his lesson. He said, "You're right, Mia. I'm sorry I did not listen to you. Helmets are rare and important. I will not splash with them again." + +The end. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big flag on a pole. The flag is red and blue and white. It has stars and stripes. + +"Look, a flag!" Tom says. "I want to touch it." + +"But it is too high," Mia says. "You cannot reach it." + +"Yes, I can," Tom says. "I can jump very high. Watch me!" + +Tom runs to the pole. He jumps and jumps. But he cannot touch the flag. He falls on the grass. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +"Are you okay?" Mia asks. She runs to Tom. She hugs him. + +"I am not okay," Tom says. "I want to touch the flag. But it is too high. And it is dull. It does not move. It is boring." + +Mia thinks. She has an idea. She sees a stick on the ground. She picks it up. She ties her scarf to the stick. She makes a new flag. It is pink and yellow and green. It has flowers and dots. + +"Look, a new flag!" Mia says. "It is not dull. It is pretty. And you can touch it. Here, hold it." + +She gives the stick to Tom. Tom stops crying. He smiles. He holds the new flag. He waves it in the air. It moves. It is fun. + +"Thank you, Mia," Tom says. "You are a good friend. I like your flag. It is better than the big flag." + +They play with the new flag. They run and jump. They are happy. +Ben was a bad boy. He did not listen to his mom and dad. He hit his sister and broke his toys. He did not say sorry or thank you. He only said "no" and "mine". + +One day, Ben saw a big whip in the garage. He wanted to play with it. He did not ask his mom and dad. He took the whip and ran outside. He saw a cat on the fence. He wanted to hit the cat with the whip. He thought it would be fun. + +But the cat was not afraid of Ben. The cat was angry. The cat saw the whip and hissed. The cat jumped on Ben and scratched his face. Ben screamed and dropped the whip. He ran back to the garage. He was fearful and hurt. + +His mom and dad heard him and came to see. They saw the whip and the cat and Ben's face. They were very mad. They scolded Ben and took him to his room. They said he was naughty and mean. They said he could not play with the whip or anything else. They said he had to stay in his room and think about what he did. + +Ben hated his room. He hated the whip. He hated the cat. He hated his mom and dad. He cried and cried. He wished he had been a good boy. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad. He wished he had been nice to his sister and his toys. He wished he had said sorry and thank you. He wished he had said "yes" and "share". +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the yard. They have a small boat. The boat is red and blue. They want to sail the boat in the pond. + +"Can we sail the boat today?" Tom asks Lily. + +"Yes, let's go!" Lily says. They run to the pond with the boat. They put the boat in the water. They blow on the sail. The boat moves. + +"Look, the boat is sailing!" Tom says. He claps his hands. + +"It is so fast!" Lily says. She smiles. + +They watch the boat sail in the pond. They are happy. They like to sail the boat. They are good friends. +Anna likes to read books with her mom. She likes to learn new words and say them out loud. Sometimes, she does not know what a word means, so she asks her mom to tell her. + +One day, she was reading a book about animals. She saw a picture of a big animal with a long nose and big ears. She pointed at it and said, "What is this?" + +Her mom said, "This is an elephant. Elephant is the word for this animal." + +Anna repeated, "Elephant. Elephant. Elephant." She liked the sound of the word. She wanted to add it to her list of words. She had a notebook where she wrote down the words she learned. + +She asked her mom, "Can I write elephant in my notebook?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, you can. But first, you have to finish reading the book. Then, you can write elephant and any other words you want." + +Anna nodded, but she was very persistent. She wanted to write elephant right away. She kept saying, "Elephant. Elephant. Elephant." She did not pay attention to the other animals in the book. + +Her mom smiled and said, "Anna, you are very persistent. You really like the word elephant. But you have to be patient. There are many other words to learn. Let's read the book together, and then you can write elephant and any other words you want." + +Anna agreed, but she still said, "Elephant. Elephant. Elephant." under her breath. She was happy to learn a new word, and she could not wait to write it down. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find bugs. They had a big jar to keep the bugs in. They put some grass and leaves in the jar for the bugs to eat. + +"Look, I found a big spider!" Ben said. He showed Lily the spider. It had eight legs and two eyes. It was black and hairy. + +"Wow, it is scary!" Lily said. She did not like spiders. She liked butterflies and ladybugs. "Can we put it in the jar?" + +"Yes, we can. But we need a cloth to cover the jar. The spider can make a hole in the lid and escape. It is very intelligent." Ben said. He looked around for a cloth. He saw a red cloth on the clothesline. It was his mom's dress. She had washed it and hung it to dry. + +Ben ran to the clothesline and took the cloth. He did not ask his mom. He did not think she would mind. He ran back to the jar and covered it with the cloth. He tied a knot to make it tight. + +"There, now the spider cannot get out." Ben said. He smiled at Lily. They put the jar on the grass and went to dig more holes. + +But the spider was not happy. It did not like the jar. It did not like the cloth. It wanted to be free. It used its legs and teeth to make a hole in the cloth. It crawled out of the jar. It looked for a place to hide. + +It saw Ben's mom. She was sitting on a chair, reading a book. She did not see the spider. The spider climbed on her leg. It bit her. She screamed. She dropped the book. She saw the spider. She saw the cloth. She saw the jar. She was very angry. + +"Ben! Lily! What have you done?" She shouted. She called for help. She needed a doctor. The spider had poisoned her. She felt very sick. She cried. + +Ben and Lily heard her scream. They ran to her. They saw the spider. They saw the cloth. They saw the jar. They knew they had done something bad. They were very sorry. They cried too. +Lily and Tom were going to the park with their mom. They liked the park because it had swings, slides and a big pond with ducks. They put on their hats, coats and shoes and got into the car. + +"Mom, can I sit in the front?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom, you are too little. You have to sit in the back with Lily and buckle up," Mom said. + +"But I want to see the traffic," Tom said. He liked to look at the cars, buses and trucks on the road. + +"Sorry, Tom, but you have to follow the rules. Maybe you can see the traffic from the back window," Mom said. + +Tom was not happy. He crossed his arms and made a pouty face. Lily saw him and tried to cheer him up. + +"Look, Tom, there is a lovely rainbow in the sky. Can you see the colors?" Lily said. + +Tom looked up and saw the rainbow. It was bright and beautiful. He smiled and forgot about the traffic. + +"Wow, Lily, you are right. The rainbow is lovely. Thank you for showing me," Tom said. + +Lily and Tom hugged and giggled. Mom smiled and drove to the park. They had a fun day playing and feeding the ducks. They saw the rainbow again on their way back home. They were happy. +Sara was a smart girl who liked to read books and learn new things. She had a big dream of going to the moon one day and seeing the stars up close. She often looked at the sky at night and wondered what it would be like to fly in a rocket. + +One day, her mom and dad told her they had a surprise for her. They took her to a special place where there were many rockets and people in suits. Sara was very excited and curious. She asked her mom, "Are we going to the moon?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Not today, sweetie, but maybe someday. Today, we are going to meet someone who has been to the moon. He is a very smart and brave man who can tell you all about it. Do you want to meet him?" + +Sara nodded eagerly and followed her mom and dad. They entered a big room where there was a stage and a screen. Sara saw a man standing on the stage, holding a microphone. He had gray hair and a friendly face. He was wearing a blue suit with a badge that had a flag and a moon on it. + +The man saw Sara and her parents and waved at them. He said, "Hello, everyone. Welcome to the space center. I'm glad you are here. My name is Neil and I was the first person to walk on the moon. Do you want to hear my story?" + +Sara's eyes widened and she gasped. She couldn't believe it. She was meeting her hero, the man who had fulfilled her dream. She felt a surge of joy and admiration. She raised her hand and said, "Yes, please. I want to hear your story. I want to go to the moon too. You are so smart and brave. You are my favorite." + +Neil smiled and said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very smart and brave too. I'm happy to share my story with you. Maybe you will be the next person to go to the moon. Let me show you some pictures and videos of my adventure. Are you ready?" + +Sara nodded and clapped her hands. She was ready to learn and to dream. She was ready for a surprise. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the big house. They had many toys and games, but they also liked to explore the rooms and halls. One day, they found a door that was locked. They wondered what was behind it. + +"Maybe it is a secret chamber with treasure and magic," Ben said. He wanted to open the door and see. He looked for a key or a knob, but he could not find any. + +"Maybe it is a scary chamber with monsters and traps," Anna said. She did not want to open the door and see. She was afraid of what might be inside. + +Ben did not listen to Anna. He insisted that they should try to open the door. He pushed and pulled and kicked and banged, but the door did not move. He got angry and frustrated. + +Anna tried to stop Ben. She said that they should leave the door alone and go play somewhere else. She said that the door was not for them and that they might get in trouble or hurt. She was worried and annoyed. + +But Ben did not listen to Anna. He insisted that he could open the door. He found a yellow chair and dragged it to the door. He climbed on the chair and reached for the top of the door. He hoped to find a latch or a button. + +But he did not find anything. Instead, he lost his balance and fell off the chair. He hit his head on the floor and started to cry. The chair also fell and broke. The noise was loud and alerted their mom. + +Mom came running and saw what happened. She was shocked and angry. She scolded Ben for being stubborn and reckless. She comforted Anna for being sensible and careful. She took them to their room and bandaged Ben's head. She told them to stay there and think about what they did. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They realized that they should have listened to each other and respected the door. They learned that curiosity is good, but not when it leads to danger or damage. They hugged and apologized to each other and to their mom. They promised to be more careful and obedient next time. +Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build many things with blocks, like houses, cars, and animals. + +One day, they decide to build a barn with blocks. A barn is a big house for cows and horses and other animals. They find some red blocks and some brown blocks and some green blocks. They start to build the barn on the floor. + +"Look, Anna, I made a door for the barn," Ben says, showing a brown block with a hole in it. + +"Good, Ben, I made a roof for the barn," Anna says, showing a green block with a triangle shape. + +They put the door and the roof on the barn. They also add some windows and some fences. The barn looks very nice. + +But then, their little brother Tom comes. Tom is only one year old. He does not know how to play with blocks. He sees the barn and thinks it is funny. He crawls to the barn and grabs a block. He pulls the block and the barn falls down. All the blocks are scattered on the floor. + +"Tom, no!" Anna and Ben shout. They are very sad and angry. They worked hard to build the barn and now it is gone. + +Tom does not understand. He thinks they are playing with him. He smiles and claps his hands. He tries to grab another block. + +Anna and Ben run to their mom. They tell her what Tom did. They want her to scold Tom and make him say sorry. + +Mom comes to see the mess. She sees the blocks and the barn and Tom. She is not happy, but she is not angry either. She knows Tom is too little to know better. She picks up Tom and hugs him. She says, "Tom, you made a boo-boo. You broke Anna and Ben's barn. That was not nice. You have to say sorry to them." + +Tom looks at Mom. He looks at Anna and Ben. He does not know what sorry means. He says, "Ba-ba." + +Mom says, "That's close, Tom. Try to say sorry. Sorry means you feel bad for what you did and you want to make it better." + +Tom tries again. He says, "So-so." + +Mom says, "That's better, Tom. Now, can you give Anna and Ben a hug and a kiss?" + +Tom nods. He crawls to Anna and Ben. He hugs them and kisses them. He says, "So-so." + +Anna and Ben are still sad, but they are not angry anymore. They see that Tom is sorry. They hug him and kiss him back. They say, "It's okay, Tom. We love you." + +Mom says, "That's very nice of you, Anna and Ben. You are good big siblings. How about we help you build the barn again?" + +Anna and Ben smile. They say, "Yes, please, Mom." + +They pick up the blocks and start to build the barn again. Tom watches them and tries to help. He does not pull the blocks anymore. He puts them where Anna and Ben tell him. They have fun together. They build a big and beautiful barn. They are happy. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many toys with motors that make noise and move fast. Tim is older and smarter than Sam. He knows how to fix the motors when they break. Sam likes to watch Tim work. + +One day, Tim and Sam find a big box in the garage. It has a picture of a red car on it. They open the box and see a shiny new car with a big motor. They are very happy and excited. They want to try the car right away. + +"Can I drive it first?" Sam asks. + +"No, I will drive it first. You are too little and you don't know how to drive," Tim says. + +"But I want to drive it too. It's not fair," Sam says. + +"Maybe later. Now let me enjoy the car. It's so cool and fast," Tim says. + +He puts the car on the ground and turns on the motor. The car makes a loud noise and zooms away. Tim runs after it, laughing. Sam stays behind, feeling sad and angry. + +The car goes very fast, but Tim is smart and careful. He steers the car around the rocks and the trees. He has a lot of fun. He forgets about Sam. + +Sam sees the car from far away. He thinks of a plan. He finds a stick and waits for the car to come back. He wants to make Tim stop and share the car with him. + +The car comes closer and closer. Sam holds the stick and gets ready. He jumps out and swings the stick at the car. He hits the motor hard. The car makes a loud noise and stops. Smoke comes out of the motor. The car is broken. + +Tim sees what Sam did. He is very angry and sad. He runs to the car and picks it up. He looks at the motor. It is smashed and burned. He can't fix it. + +"Why did you do that? You ruined the car. You are so mean and stupid," Tim yells at Sam. + +"I'm sorry. I just wanted to drive the car too. You didn't let me. You are so selfish and bossy," Sam yells back. + +They start to fight. They push and hit each other. They cry and scream. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the garage. She sees the broken car and the fighting brothers. She is very disappointed and angry. She takes the car and the stick away. She sends Tim and Sam to their rooms. She says they can't play with any toys with motors for a week. She says they need to learn how to share and be nice to each other. + +Tim and Sam go to their rooms. They are very sorry and sad. They wish they had enjoyed the car together. They wish they had been smarter and kinder. They say sorry to each other and hug. They promise to do better next time. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big ball. It is red and shiny. They want to play with it. + +"Let's roll the ball!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Mia says. + +They roll the ball on the grass. They have fun. But then, the ball rolls too fast. It goes to the road. A car is coming. + +"Stop!" Tom shouts. + +But the ball does not stop. The car hits the ball. The ball pops. It makes a loud noise. Tom and Mia are scared. They drop their toys and run to their moms. + +The moms hug them. They are safe. But the ball is gone. It is dark and cold on the road. Tom and Mia are sad. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Mia says. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Tom says. + +They look at each other. They are still friends. They smile. + +"Maybe we can find another ball," Tom says. + +"Maybe," Mia says. + +They hold hands. They go back to the park. They play with their toys. They forget the ball. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play games, but they are very competitive. They always want to win and be the best. + +One day, they play a game of hide and seek. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Anna counts to ten and then looks for Ben. She checks under the bed, behind the sofa, and in the closet. She cannot find Ben anywhere. + +She hears a giggle from the kitchen. She runs to the kitchen and sees Ben hiding behind the curtain. She shouts, "I found you, Ben! You lose!" + +Ben sticks out his tongue and says, "No, you didn't find me. I was not hiding behind the curtain. I was hiding behind the exit. The exit is the door that leads outside. You did not look there, so you lose!" + +Anna is angry. She says, "That is not fair, Ben. You cannot hide behind the exit. That is cheating. You have to hide inside the house. That is the rule." + +Ben says, "I don't care about the rule. I make my own rules. I win and you lose. Ha ha ha!" + +Anna is very sad. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She decides to ignore him. She walks away from the kitchen and goes to her room. She closes the door and plays with her dolls. She pretends that Ben does not exist. + +Ben is surprised. He does not hear Anna anymore. He wonders where she went. He looks for her in the living room, in the bathroom, and in the hallway. He cannot find her anywhere. + +He feels lonely. He does not like to play by himself. He misses Anna. He wishes he did not cheat. He wishes he did not make Anna sad. + +He goes to Anna's room and knocks on the door. He says, "Anna, I'm sorry. I was wrong. You were right. You found me. You win. Can we play again?" + +Anna hears Ben's voice. She thinks for a moment. She is still angry, but she is also bored. She likes to play with Ben, even if he is competitive. She opens the door and says, "Okay, Ben. I forgive you. We can play again. But this time, no cheating. And no hiding behind the exit. Deal?" + +Ben smiles and says, "Deal. Thank you, Anna. You are a good sister. I love you." + +Anna smiles and says, "You are a good brother. I love you too." + +They hug and go to play another game. They are happy. They are twins. +One day, Anna and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big road with many cars and bikes. Mom said, "We have to be careful when we cross the road. We have to look both ways and wait for the green light." + +Anna asked, "Why do we have to look both ways, mom?" + +Mom said, "Because cars and bikes can come from both sides. If we don't look, they might hit us and hurt us. That would be very bad." + +Ben said, "I don't want to get hurt. I want to play in the park." + +Mom said, "Me too. But we have to cross the road first. Let me explain how we do it. First, we hold hands. Then, we look to the left and see if there are any cars or bikes. If there are none, we look to the right and see if there are any cars or bikes. If there are none, we can cross the road. But we have to walk fast and not stop. If we see a car or a bike coming, we have to wait until they pass. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, mom. We understand." + +Mom said, "Good. Now, let's cross the road together. Be careful and follow me." + +Anna and Ben held mom's hand and looked both ways. They saw no cars or bikes. They crossed the road safely and went to the park. They had a lot of fun playing on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They were happy and careful. +Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a big jar on the shelf. The jar is full of candy. Tom and Sue love candy. + +They want to get the jar, but it is too high. They try to climb on the chair, but it is too wobbly. They try to use a stick, but it is too short. They try to ask Mom, but she is busy. They think it is very difficult to get the jar. + +They notice a stool in the corner. The stool is tall and sturdy. They have an idea. They push the stool to the shelf. They take turns to stand on the stool and reach for the jar. They are very careful not to make any noise. + +They finally get the jar. They are very happy. They open the lid and smell the candy. They want to eat some, but they remember to share. They each take a handful and put the jar back on the shelf. + +They go to the couch and enjoy their candy. They think they are very clever. They do not notice the camera on the shelf. They do not notice Mom watching them on her phone. They do not notice the smile on her face. She thinks they are very cute. She has a surprise for them later. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many leaves. Sara wants to pick a leaf for her mom. She runs to the tree and looks up. + +"Wow, so many leaves! Which one should I pick?" she asks Ben. + +Ben follows her and points to a leaf. "How about that one? It is green and shiny." + +Sara nods and tries to reach the leaf. But it is too high for her. She jumps and stretches her arms, but she cannot touch it. She feels sad. + +"It is too difficult. I cannot pick it," she says. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He looks around and sees a stick on the ground. He picks up the stick and gives it to Sara. + +"Here, use this. You can poke the leaf with the stick and make it fall," he says. + +Sara smiles and takes the stick. She pokes the leaf with the stick and makes it fall. She catches the leaf in her hand and hugs it. + +"Thank you, Ben! You are a good friend. I can pick the leaf now. Mom will be happy," she says. + +Ben smiles too. He is happy to help Sara. They run to the bench where their moms are sitting. They show them the leaf and tell them their story. Their moms hug them and praise them. + +"You are very clever and kind. We are proud of you," they say. +Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have a big box of dress-up clothes. They can be anything they want. + +One day, they decide to be soldiers. They find two green uniforms in the box. They put them on and salute each other. They look perfect. + +"Let's go on a mission," Ben says. "We have to find the enemy base." + +"OK," Mia says. "But we have to be quiet and careful." + +They crawl on the floor and hide behind the sofa. They peek around the corner and see their dad. He is reading a book. + +"Shh, there he is," Ben whispers. "He is the enemy leader. We have to capture him." + +They sneak up behind him and jump on him. They tickle him and shout, "Surrender, surrender!" + +Their dad laughs and hugs them. He says, "You got me, you brave soldiers. You are the best." + +Mia and Ben smile and say, "We love you, dad." + +They take off their uniforms and put them back in the box. They cuddle with their dad and read a book together. They are happy. +Sara liked to play sport with her friends at school. She was good at running, jumping and throwing. She was popular and many kids wanted to be on her team. But there was one sport she did not like: soccer. + +One day, the teacher said they would play soccer for PE. Sara felt sad and scared. She did not know how to kick the ball or score a goal. She thought the other kids would laugh at her or be angry with her. + +She went to her best friend, Ben, and said, "Ben, I don't want to play soccer. Can we play something else?" + +Ben looked at her and shrugged. He said, "Sara, soccer is fun. You just have to try. Everyone plays soccer. It's the most popular sport. Come on, don't be a baby." + +Sara felt hurt by Ben's words. She did not think he was a good friend. She said, "Ben, you are mean. I am not a baby. I just don't like soccer. You should be nice to me and help me." + +Ben rolled his eyes and said, "Sara, you are silly. Soccer is easy. You just have to kick the ball and run. Stop being scared and join the game." + +Sara did not want to argue with Ben. She did not want to lose his friendship. But she also did not want to play soccer. She did not know what to do. She wished she could play a different sport or go home. She felt alone and unhappy. +Anna loves pandas. She has a big panda toy that she hugs every night. She calls him Po. Po is soft and black and white. He is Anna's best friend. + +One night, Anna has a dream. She dreams that she is in a forest with Po. They see many other pandas. They are eating bamboo and playing. Anna is happy. She wants to stay with the pandas forever. + +"Po, can we live here?" Anna asks. + +Po smiles and nods. "Yes, we can. This is our home. You are a panda too, Anna." + +Anna feels warm and fuzzy. She thinks Po is very fair. He shares his bamboo with her. He lets her climb on his back. He protects her from danger. + +But then, Anna hears a loud noise. It is her alarm clock. It is time to wake up. Anna opens her eyes. She sees Po on her bed. He is still soft and black and white. He is still Anna's best friend. + +"Good morning, Po," Anna says. She kisses him on the nose. "I had a wonderful dream. We were with the pandas. It was so fun." + +Po does not say anything. He is a toy. But Anna thinks he understands. She thinks he had the same dream. She thinks he is happy too. +Anna and Ben love to bake with Mom. They help her to mix flour, sugar, eggs and butter in a big bowl. They use a spoon to make small balls of dough and put them on a tray. Mom says they are making cookies. + +"Can we put chocolate on them?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, you can. I have some chocolate chips here. You are smart to remember them," Mom says. She gives them a small bag of chocolate chips and shows them how to press them into the dough balls. + +Anna and Ben have fun decorating their cookies. They make faces, stars, hearts and letters with the chocolate chips. They wonder how they will taste when they are done. + +Mom puts the tray in the oven and sets the timer. She tells Anna and Ben to wash their hands and wait for the cookies to bake. They sit on the couch and read a book together. They smell the cookies getting warm and sweet in the oven. + +Ding! The timer rings. Mom takes out the tray and puts it on the counter. She lets the cookies cool down a little and then puts them on a plate. + +"Look at your beautiful cookies! You did a great job, Anna and Ben," Mom says. She gives them each a glass of milk and a cookie. + +Anna and Ben bite into their cookies and smile. They are soft and chewy and full of chocolate. They thank Mom for letting them bake with her. + +They share their cookies with Dad when he comes home from work. He says they are the best cookies he ever had. Anna and Ben are happy and proud. They love to bake with Mom. +Anna hurt her arm when she fell from the swing. She cried a lot and her mom took her to the doctor. The doctor was very busy. There were many other kids who were sick or hurt. + +"Anna, I need to take a picture of your arm with a special machine. It is called an x-ray. It will not hurt, I promise. It will help me see if your arm is broken or not," the doctor said. + +Anna was scared of the machine. It looked big and strange. She held her mom's hand and tried to be brave. + +"Okay, doctor. I will let you take a picture of my arm. But can I see it too?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, Anna. You can see it on this screen. Look, this is your arm. And this is your bone. See, it has a small crack. That means it is broken. But don't worry, it will improve with time. I will put a cast on your arm to keep it safe and help it heal. You can choose the color of your cast. What color do you like?" the doctor said. + +Anna looked at the screen. She saw her arm and her bone. She felt sad that her bone was broken. But she also felt curious about the cast. + +"I like pink. Can I have a pink cast?" Anna said. + +"Sure, Anna. Pink is a lovely color. Let me get the cast ready. You are a very brave girl, Anna. And you have a very nice mom. She will take good care of you. And soon your arm will improve and you will be able to play on the swing again," the doctor said. + +Anna smiled. She liked the doctor. He was very kind and helpful. She was happy that her arm would improve. She was excited to have a pink cast. She wondered if her friends would like it too. She hoped they would. She wanted to show them her x-ray and tell them her story. +Lily was a princess who lived in a big castle. She had a shiny crown that she wore every day. She liked to play with her toys, read books, and sing songs. She was happy and kind to everyone. + +One day, a new girl came to the castle. Her name was Mia. She was also a princess, but from another land. She had a bigger crown that sparkled with jewels. She did not like to play with toys, read books, or sing songs. She was proud and mean to everyone. + +Mia saw Lily's crown and wanted it for herself. She was envious of Lily and tried to take her crown. She said, "Your crown is too small and dull. Give it to me. I have a better crown than you." + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not want to give her crown to Mia. She said, "No, this is my crown. It was a gift from my mama and papa. I love it very much. You have your own crown. Why do you want mine?" + +Mia was angry and pushed Lily. She grabbed her crown and ran away. She laughed and said, "Ha ha, now I have two crowns. You have none. You are a silly and ugly princess." + +Lily cried and ran to her room. She hugged her teddy bear and wished Mia would go away. She was too upset to play, read, or sing. She just wanted to sleep and forget everything. + +That night, a fairy came to Lily's room. She saw Lily sleeping with her teddy bear and felt sorry for her. She said, "Don't cry, little princess. You are a good and beautiful princess. You don't need a crown to be happy. You have a crown in your heart. Mia is a bad and ugly princess. She has a crown on her head, but not in her heart. She is not happy. She is lonely and sad." + +The fairy touched Lily's crown with her wand and made it glow. She said, "This is a magic crown. It will always be with you, even if you don't wear it. It will make you brave and smart and kind. It will also make Mia see the truth. She will realize that she was wrong and sorry. She will give you back your crown and ask for your friendship." + +The fairy kissed Lily's cheek and flew away. Lily smiled in her sleep and dreamed of happy things. She did not know that the fairy's words would come true the next day. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tower made of snow. It was taller than them and had a flag on top. Ben wanted to climb the tower and touch the flag. He said to Lily, "Let's go to the tower. It looks fun." + +Lily was scared of the tower. She thought it was too high and cold. She said to Ben, "No, I don't want to go. The tower might fall and hurt us. And we will shiver in the snow. Let's play somewhere else." + +Ben was envious of the tower. He thought it was cool and brave. He said to Lily, "You are a baby. You are afraid of everything. I'm not. I'm going to the tower. You can stay here and be boring." + +Ben ran to the tower. He started to climb the snow. He felt the snow on his hands and feet. It was wet and cold. He shivered, but he did not stop. He wanted to reach the flag. + +Lily watched Ben from the park. She saw him go higher and higher. She felt sorry for him. He looked cold and lonely. She wished he would come back and play with her. She shouted to him, "Ben, come down. The tower is not fun. It's dangerous. Come and play with me." + +Ben heard Lily. He looked down. He saw her waving and smiling. He felt sad. He missed her. He realized the tower was not worth it. He said to himself, "Lily is right. The tower is not fun. It's dangerous. I want to play with her." + +Ben climbed down the tower. He ran to Lily. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are not a baby. You are smart and kind. The tower was not fun. It was dangerous. I want to play with you." + +Lily hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are safe. You are not envious. You are brave and curious. The tower was not cool. It was cold. I want to play with you too." + +Ben and Lily smiled and held hands. They went to play somewhere else. They were happy and warm. They forgot about the tower. +Lily was a big girl. She was three years old. She liked to learn new things. Today, she had a test at school. She was a little scared, but also excited. + +She put on her warm coat and hat. It was cold outside. She held her mom's hand and walked to the bus stop. She saw her friends on the bus. They smiled and waved at her. She felt happy. + +At school, her teacher gave her a paper with pictures and words. She had to point to the right picture for each word. She knew some words, like cat, dog, and sun. She guessed some words, like car, hat, and fish. She did not know some words, like star, moon, and tree. She tried her best. + +When she finished, her teacher looked at her paper. She smiled and said, "Good job, Lily! You did very well on your test. You are a smart girl. I am proud of you." She gave her a sticker and a hug. + +Lily felt proud too. She had done her test. She had learned new things. She had fun at school. She could not wait to tell her mom. She hoped her mom would be proud too. +Lily and Ben were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball and catch it. They were having fun. + +But then they saw dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a flash of light. It was lightning. They were scared. + +"Let's go inside, Lily!" Ben said. "There is a storm coming!" + +They ran to the house and knocked on the door. Mom opened the door and hugged them. + +"Are you okay, my sweeties?" Mom asked. "You are safe now. Come, I have something for you." + +Mom took them to the kitchen and gave them each a glass of milk. She said milk was good for them. It made them strong and healthy. + +"Drink your milk, Lily and Ben," Mom said. "It will make you feel better." + +Lily and Ben drank their milk. They felt warm and cozy. They thanked Mom for the milk. + +They looked out the window and saw the rain falling. They saw the wind blowing. They saw the storm. + +But they were not scared anymore. They had Mom and milk. They had each other. + +They learned that storms can be scary, but they can also be brave. They learned that Mom loves them and takes care of them. They learned that milk is good for them and helps them grow. They learned to be thankful for what they have. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. Lila wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. + +"Wait for me!" Ben says. He runs after Lila. He wants to slide too. + +Lila reaches the top of the slide. She sits down and gets ready to slide. She feels happy. She likes the slide. + +But Ben is too fast. He does not wait for his turn. He climbs up the ladder and pushes Lila. Lila falls off the slide. She lands on the ground. She hurts her knee and her lung. She cries. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lila says. "Ben, you are not nice! You pushed me! You hurt me!" + +Ben feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lila. He was just excited. He slides down and runs to Lila. He hugs her and says sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lila. I'm sorry I pushed you. I'm sorry I hurt you. Are you okay?" Ben says. + +Lila stops crying. She looks at Ben. She sees that he is sorry. She forgives him. She hugs him back and says it's okay. + +"It's okay, Ben. I know you did not mean it. I'm okay. My knee and my lung are a little sore, but they will get better. You are still my friend." Lila says. + +Lila and Ben smile. They are friends again. They decide to play something else. They find a swing and a seesaw. They take turns and share. They have fun. They are nice to each other. +Lila and Ben are playing with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to sort their cars by color or by wheel. Sometimes they sort by big and small, or fast and slow. + +"Look, I have all the red cars here," Lila says, pointing to her pile. "They are the fastest and the coolest." + +"I have all the blue cars here," Ben says, showing his pile. "They are the strongest and the smoothest." + +They both think their cars are the best. They do not want to share or trade with each other. They are spoiled. + +Then, Mom comes in and sees their mess. She is not happy. + +"Kids, you have too many cars. You need to give some away to other children who have no cars. You can keep only five cars each. Pick your favorites and put the rest in this box," Mom says, holding a big cardboard box. + +Lila and Ben are shocked. They do not want to give away their cars. They love all their cars. They start to cry and whine. + +"But Mom, these are our cars. We sorted them by color and by wheel. We worked hard. We do not want to share," they say. + +Mom shakes her head. She is firm. + +"Sorry, kids, but you have to learn to share and be grateful. There are many children who have nothing to play with. You are lucky to have so many cars. You can still have fun with five cars each. Now, hurry up and choose, or I will choose for you," Mom says. + +Lila and Ben are scared. They do not want Mom to choose for them. They quickly pick their five favorite cars and put the rest in the box. They are still sad and angry, but they do not want to make Mom more upset. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. + +"Good job, kids. I am proud of you for being generous and brave. You will make some other children very happy with your cars. And you will still have fun with your cars. Maybe you can even play together and trade sometimes," Mom says. + +Lila and Ben nod. They are still not sure, but they trust Mom. They look at their cars and then at each other. Maybe they can play together and trade sometimes. Maybe they can sort their cars by color and by wheel again. Maybe they can be less spoiled. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was orange and had sharp teeth. It barked very loud. + +"Let's go and pet the dog!" Ben said. He liked dogs. + +"No, Ben, don't!" Lily said. She was scared of dogs. "The dog might bite you!" + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the dog. The dog did not like Ben. It growled and snapped at him. Ben tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It bit Ben on the leg. Ben screamed and fell down. + +Lily ran to help Ben. She saw blood on his leg. She cried and hugged him. The dog ran away. Lily and Ben were alone in the park. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked. She trembled with fear. + +"It hurts, Lily, it hurts!" Ben said. He sobbed and shook. + +Lily did not know what to do. She wished someone would come and help them. She wished they had not gone to the park. She wished they had stayed home and done some exercise instead. She wished they had never seen the orange dog. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and trains. They have many cars and trains in their room. They pretend to travel to different places with them. + +One day, they decide to play with a big train set. The train set has many tracks and bridges and tunnels. Anna and Ben each pick a train. They want to see who can make their train go faster and farther. + +"Ready, set, go!" Anna says. She pushes her train hard. Ben pushes his train hard too. They watch their trains zoom along the tracks. They are competitive. They want to win. + +"Look, my train is going to the mine!" Anna says. She points to a tunnel that leads to a place with rocks and gems. "I will get many shiny things for my train!" + +"No, my train is going to the mine!" Ben says. He points to another tunnel that leads to the same place. "I will get more shiny things than you!" + +They both push their trains harder. They try to reach the mine first. But they push too hard. Their trains go off the tracks. They crash into each other. They make a loud noise. The rocks and gems fall down. Anna and Ben are sad. They broke their trains. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "I was too competitive. I wanted to win too much." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna says. "I was too competitive too. I wanted to win too much too." + +They hug each other. They are friends again. They pick up their trains and the rocks and gems. They fix their trains and their tracks. They share their shiny things. They play nicely. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They were very happy. + +"Let's go inside and get warm," Tom said. "Mom will make us hot cocoa." + +"OK," Lily said. "But first, let's say goodbye to our snowman." + +They hugged their snowman and said, "Bye, snowman. We will see you tomorrow." + +They ran inside the house. Mom was in the kitchen. She smiled at them. + +"Did you have fun in the snow?" she asked. + +"Yes, Mom. We made a snowman. He is very nice," Tom said. + +"That's wonderful. You can show me later. But first, you need to change your wet clothes. They are very cold," Mom said. + +"OK, Mom," Lily said. + +They went to their room and changed their clothes. They put on dry socks and sweaters.

Her mom was very busy, but she promised to fix Lucy's wool as soon as she could. + +A few days later, Lucy's mom had some free time and she fixed Lucy's wool. Lucy was so happy to have her wool back to normal. She thanked her mom and said, "I love you, Mommy." +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside and explore the world around her. One sunny day, she went for a walk in the park with her mom. + +As they walked, Lily spotted a big tree with a hole in it. She ran over to take a closer look, but her mom warned her to be careful. "You never know what might be hiding in there," her mom said. + +Lily didn't understand why her mom was worried, but she listened and stayed away from the tree. Later that day, they went to a store and bought a surprise for Lily. When they got home, her mom told her to close her eyes and hold out her hands. When Lily opened her eyes, she saw a brand new toy that she had been wanting for a long time. + +Lily was so happy and grateful that she gave her mom a big hug. Her mom smiled and said, "See, sometimes it's important to be careful and wait for the right moment. Then good things can open up for us." Lily understood what her mom meant and felt very lucky to have such a wise and loving mom. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, and balls. They were happy and laughed a lot. + +But then, a thief came. He was a bad man who wanted to take their toys. He saw Anna's doll and Ben's car. He liked them very much. He was sneaky and quiet. He waited for Anna and Ben to look away. Then, he grabbed the doll and the car and ran away. + +Anna and Ben did not see him at first. They were busy with their other toys. But when they wanted to play with the doll and the car, they could not find them. They looked everywhere. They asked each other, "Where is the doll? Where is the car?" They were sad and confused. + +Then, they saw the thief. He was far away, but they could see him. He had the doll and the car in his hands. He was smiling and running. He thought he was clever and lucky. + +Anna and Ben were angry and brave. They shouted, "Hey, thief! Give us back our toys! They are ours, not yours!" They ran after him. They were fast and strong. + +The thief was scared and stupid. He did not expect Anna and Ben to chase him. He did not know what to do. He saw a big hole in the fence. He thought he could hide there. He jumped into the hole. + +But the hole was not a good hiding place. It was a hot place. It was the place where the fireman put the fire. The fire was still burning. It was very hot and bright. + +The thief felt the heat and the light. He screamed and dropped the doll and the car. He tried to get out of the hole, but he could not. He was stuck. He was in pain. He wished he had not taken the toys. + +Anna and Ben reached the hole. They saw the fire and the thief. They were shocked and sorry. They did not want the thief to get hurt. They called for help. They said, "Help, help! There is a thief in the fire! He is in trouble!" + +The fireman heard them. He came with his hose and his ladder. He put out the fire and rescued the thief. He was not happy with the thief. He said, "You are a bad man. You should not take other people's toys. You should say sorry and go to jail." + +The thief was ashamed and sorry. He said, "I am sorry. I was wrong. I will not take toys again. Please forgive me." + +Anna and Ben were kind and forgiving. They said, "We forgive you. But you have to be good and honest from now on. And you have to give us back our toys." + +The thief gave them back their doll and their car. They were a bit dirty and smoky, but they were still good. Anna and Ben hugged them and thanked the fireman. They said, "Thank you, fireman. You are a hero. You saved the thief and our toys." + +The fireman smiled and said, "You are welcome, kids. You are also heroes. You were brave and smart. You chased the thief and called for help. You were also kind and forgiving. You are good kids." + +Anna and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, fireman. You are nice. We like you." + +They went back to their garden and played with their toys. They were happy and safe. They learned a lesson. They learned that stealing is bad and sharing is good. They learned that fire is hot and dangerous. They learned that kindness is better than anger. They learned that they had each other and they had friends. They were happy and safe. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with powder in the kitchen. They liked to make shapes and colors with it on the table. But they made a big mess. Powder was everywhere. On the floor, on the chairs, on the walls. + +Mom came in and saw the mess. She was very angry. She said, "What have you done? This is terrible! You have to clean this up right now. And no more powder for you. You have to leave it alone." + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They did not want to make Mom angry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to have fun. We will clean it up. Please don't be mad at us." + +Mom sighed. She said, "I know you wanted to have fun, but you have to be careful with powder. It can make you sick or hurt your eyes. And it is hard to clean. Next time, ask me before you use it. And play with it outside or in a bowl. OK?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "OK, Mom. We understand. We will be more careful next time. We love you, Mom." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. Now, let's clean this up together. And then we can have a snack and read a story. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben smiled too. They said, "That sounds good, Mom. Thank you, Mom." They hugged Mom and helped her clean the powder. They learned their lesson and never played with powder in the kitchen again. +Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing, and run. But they do not like the big dog that lives near the park. The big dog is loud and scary. He barks and chases them when they go near his house. + +One day, Tom and Mia see a blue gate in front of the big dog's house. They wonder what is behind the gate. Maybe there is a new friend for them. Maybe there is a toy or a ball. They want to find out. + +They walk to the blue gate and peek through the bars. They see the big dog sleeping on a mat. He looks calm and quiet. Tom and Mia think he is not so scary after all. They open the gate and go inside. + +"Hello, big dog," Tom says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The big dog wakes up and sees Tom and Mia. He is not happy. He jumps up and growls. He runs to them and tries to bite them. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Mia scream. They are afraid. They run to the gate and try to get out. But the gate is locked. They cannot open it. + +"Who are you?" a voice says. Tom and Mia look up and see a man. He is the big dog's owner. He has a key in his hand. He is angry. + +"Get away from my dog!" he says. "You are not supposed to be here. This is his home. You have to keep out!" + +He opens the gate and lets Tom and Mia out. He scolds them and tells them to never come back. He closes the gate and locks it. + +Tom and Mia run away from the big dog's house. They are sorry and scared. They decide to never go near the blue gate again. They only want to play in the park. They do not want to make the big dog or his owner mad. They learned their lesson. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. Some cars were old and some cars were modern. Modern cars had shiny paint and made loud noises. + +One day, Tom and Lily decided to have a race with their cars. They put on their clothes and went to the backyard. They made a track with stones and sticks. They chose their cars and got ready to start. + +"Ready, set, go!" Tom shouted and pushed his car. His car was red and modern. It had a big engine and a spoiler. It went very fast on the track. + +Lily pushed her car too. Her car was blue and old. It had a small engine and a roof. It went slower than Tom's car, but it was steady and smooth. + +Tom's car was ahead of Lily's car. He smiled and said, "My car is the best! It has speed and power. Your car is too old and slow. You will never catch me!" + +Lily did not give up. She said, "Your car may be fast, but it is not careful. My car is old, but it is smart and safe. You will see who wins!" + +As they reached the last turn, Tom's car went too fast and hit a stone. It flew off the track and landed in the grass. Tom gasped and ran to get his car. + +Lily's car passed the stone and crossed the finish line. Lily cheered and said, "I won! I won! My car is the best! It has skill and patience. You were too proud and reckless. You lost!" + +Tom felt sad and sorry. He picked up his car and said, "You are right, Lily. Your car is the best. It has speed and wisdom. I was too boastful and careless. I lost. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Of course, Tom. We are twins and we love each other. We can share our cars and play together. Maybe next time we can have a different race. How about a race with bikes?" + +Tom nodded and said, "That sounds fun, Lily. Let's go and get our bikes. Maybe we can find some clothes that match our bikes. Do you have any modern clothes?" + +Lily laughed and said, "I have some modern clothes, but I also have some old clothes. I like both. Do you?" + +Tom said, "I do too. Let's go and see what we have. Maybe we can mix and match. That would be cool and funny." + +They ran to their house and looked for their clothes and bikes. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot. They learned that speed is not everything, that old and modern can both be good, and that being friends is the best. +Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green and more. + +One day, they decide to build a big castle with all the blocks. They work hard and have fun. They make walls and doors and windows and a flag. They are proud of their castle. + +"Look at our castle!" Anna says. "It is so big and attractive!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "And we made it together!" + +They smile and hug. They are happy. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is curious and playful. He sees the castle and runs to it. He knocks down the walls and the doors and the windows and the flag. He makes a big mess. + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They cry and shout. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" Anna says. "You broke our castle!" + +"Go away! Go away!" Ben says. "You are not nice!" + +The dog does not understand. He thinks they want to play. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He has soft fur and warm skin. + +Anna and Ben stop crying and shouting. They look at the dog. He has big eyes and a wet nose. He is cute and friendly. + +"Maybe he is not so bad," Anna says. "Maybe he is sorry." + +"Maybe he wants to be our friend," Ben says. "Maybe we can build another castle." + +They pet the dog and forgive him. They are not sad and angry anymore. They are happy again. + +They get more blocks and start to build another castle. The dog helps them. He brings them blocks and guards the castle. He does not knock it down. + +They finish the castle. It is bigger and more attractive than before. They are proud of their castle. + +"Look at our castle!" Anna says. "It is so big and attractive!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "And we made it with our friend!" + +They smile and hug. They are happy. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with toys, draw pictures and read books. One day, Lily made a picture of Ben and herself. She used many colors and drew a big sun and a rainbow. She was very proud of her picture. + +She wanted to give it to Ben as a gift. She found a frame in her room. It was old and dusty, but she cleaned it with a cloth. She put her picture in the frame and wrapped it with paper. She wrote "To Ben, from Lily" on the paper. + +She went to Ben's house and knocked on the door. Ben opened the door and saw Lily holding a big package. He was very curious and happy. + +"Hi, Lily! What is that?" he asked. + +"It is a gift for you, Ben. Open it!" Lily said. + +Ben opened the package and saw the picture in the frame. He smiled and hugged Lily. + +"Wow, Lily! This is a beautiful picture! You drew us so well! And you found a frame for it! Thank you so much, Lily! I value your gift and your friendship!" he said. + +Lily was jolly. She was glad that Ben liked her picture and her frame. She hugged him back. + +"You are welcome, Ben! I value your friendship too! You are my best friend!" she said. + +They put the picture in Ben's room and played with toys, drew more pictures and read more books. They had a lot of fun and were very happy. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, until Ben's car hit Anna's doll and broke her arm. + +"Look what you did!" Anna cried. "You broke my doll!" + +"I'm sorry, Anna. It was an accident." Ben said. "Maybe we can fix it." + +Ben looked around and saw a bottle of glue on the table. He picked it up and opened it. He tried to put some glue on the doll's arm, but he squeezed too hard and the glue came out too fast. It spilled on the doll, on the car, and on the table. + +"Oh no!" Ben said. "Now everything is sticky!" + +Anna and Ben stared at the mess. They didn't know what to do. They heard their mom coming from the kitchen. + +"What's going on here?" Mom asked. She saw the glue, the doll, and the car. She was not happy. + +"Anna and Ben, you made a big mess. You should not play with glue. It is not a toy. It is for grown-ups only. And you should be careful with your toys. They can break if you are not gentle." + +Mom helped Anna and Ben clean up the glue. She threw away the bottle and wiped the table. She took the doll and the car to her room. She said she would try to fix them later. + +Anna and Ben said they were sorry. They hugged Mom and thanked her. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. Something that did not need glue. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a blue worm and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a blue worm!" Lily said. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Ben said. "Where did you find it?" + +Lily pointed to a hole in the ground. "There, under the rock. Maybe there are more blue worms there." + +Ben and Lily went to the hole and started to dig. They found more worms, but none of them were blue. They were brown, red, and green. + +"Why is this worm blue?" Ben asked. "The others are not blue." + +Lily shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe it ate something blue." + +Ben thought for a moment. He remembered something he saw in the bathroom. "Maybe it ate the blue water in the toilet!" he said. + +Lily gasped. "The blue water in the toilet? That's yucky!" + +Ben nodded. "Yes, it is. Mommy told me not to touch it. She said it is for cleaning the toilet, not for drinking." + +Lily looked at the blue worm in her hand. She felt sorry for it. "Poor worm. It must be sick. We should help it." + +Ben agreed. "Yes, we should. Maybe we can give it some water from the tap. That's clean and fresh." + +Ben and Lily ran to the tap and filled a cup with water. They put the blue worm in the cup and watched it wiggle. + +"Maybe it will feel better now," Lily said. + +"Maybe," Ben said. "But we should also explain to Mommy what we did. She might know how to help the blue worm more." + +Lily nodded. "Yes, let's go and tell Mommy. Come on, blue worm, we'll take you with us." + +Ben and Lily took the cup with the blue worm and went to find Mommy. They hoped she would not be angry with them for digging in the dirt and playing with the toilet water. They just wanted to help the blue worm. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to read books. They have many books in their room. Some books are big, some books are small. Some books have pictures, some books have words. + +One day, Anna and Ben want to read a new book. They find a book on the shelf. The book is big and has a picture of a dragon on the cover. Anna and Ben think the book is about a dragon. + +They open the book and start to read. But the book is not about a dragon. The book is about a princess and a prince. Anna and Ben do not like the book. They think the book is silly. + +"Anna, this book is silly. I want to read about a dragon, not a princess and a prince. Let's find another book," Ben says. + +"Ben, you are silly. I like the book. The princess and the prince are nice. They have a castle and a horse. Let's keep reading," Anna says. + +Anna and Ben start to argue. They pull the book from each other. They make a lot of noise. They do not hear their mom coming. + +"Anna, Ben, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over a book?" their mom asks. + +"Mom, this book is silly. It is not about a dragon. It is about a princess and a prince. I want to read another book," Ben says. + +"Mom, this book is nice. It is about a princess and a prince. They have a castle and a horse. I want to keep reading," Anna says. + +Their mom smiles. She has an idea. She takes the book from them and looks at the cover. + +"Anna, Ben, this book is not silly or nice. This book is a surprise. Do you want to know why?" their mom asks. + +Anna and Ben nod. They are curious. + +Their mom flips the book over. On the back of the book, there is another picture. The picture is of a dragon. The dragon is smiling and holding a book. + +"Look, this book is about a dragon. A dragon who likes to read books. Even books about princesses and princes. He thinks all books are fun. Do you want to read his story?" their mom asks. + +Anna and Ben smile. They like the surprise. They want to read the dragon's story. + +"Yes, mom, we want to read the dragon's story. Can you read it to us?" Anna and Ben ask. + +"Of course, my twins. Let's sit on the couch and read the book together. Maybe we will find more surprises," their mom says. + +They go to the couch and cuddle with their mom. They open the book and read the dragon's story. They laugh and learn and have fun. They are happy. They love to read books. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a big jar on the shelf. It is dark and shiny. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom says. He climbs on the couch and reaches for the jar. + +"No, Tom, don't!" Lily says. "Mom said we can't touch it. It is her jar. She ordered it online. It is a surprise." + +But Tom does not listen. He grabs the jar and pulls it down. The jar is heavy and slippery. It falls from his hands and breaks on the floor. A loud noise makes them jump. + +Mom comes running from the kitchen. She sees the broken jar and the mess. She is angry and sad. + +"Tom, Lily, what did you do?" she asks. "This was my special jar. It had cookies inside. I ordered it for your birthday. Now it is ruined." + +Tom and Lily feel sorry. They look at each other and then at Mom. They say in a small voice: + +"We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We were curious. We wanted to see the jar." + +Mom sighs. She hugs them and says: + +"I know, my loves. But you have to listen to me. Some things are not for playing. They are for waiting. Next time, please ask me before you touch something. OK?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They say: + +"OK, Mom. We love you. Can we help you clean up?" + +Mom smiles. She says: + +"Of course. Thank you. I love you too. And don't worry. We can still have a happy birthday. I have another jar of cookies in the pantry. But this time, no peeking!" +Sara and Ben love to eat avocado. They like to cut it open and scoop out the green part with a spoon. Sometimes they make guacamole with their mom and eat it with chips. + +One day, they went to the store with their dad to buy some avocados. But when they got there, they saw that there were no avocados left. All the other people had taken them. Sara and Ben felt sad and disappointed. + +"Sorry, kids," their dad said. "It seems like there are no avocados today. Maybe we can find something else to eat." + +Sara and Ben looked around the store. They saw apples, bananas, oranges, carrots, cheese, bread, and many other things. But they did not want any of them. They only wanted avocado. + +They were about to leave the store when they heard a voice behind them. + +"Excuse me, sir," the voice said. "Are you looking for avocados?" + +Sara and Ben turned around and saw a lady holding a bag. She smiled at them and opened the bag. Inside, there were four big, ripe avocados. + +"I bought too many avocados today," the lady said. "I don't think I can eat them all. Would you like to have some?" + +Sara and Ben's eyes lit up. They could not believe their luck. They nodded eagerly and thanked the lady. + +"Wow, thank you so much!" their dad said. "You are very kind and generous. We love avocados." + +The lady handed them two avocados and kept two for herself. She wished them a good day and walked away. + +Sara and Ben hugged their dad and their avocados. They felt very happy and grateful. They could not wait to go home and eat their favorite food. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sand. They had a bucket and a spade each. They wanted to make a big castle with towers and a moat. + +"Can I use your spade?" Lily asked Ben. "Mine is too small." + +"OK, but only for a little bit," Ben said. "My spade is dependable. It can dig a lot of sand." + +Lily took Ben's spade and started to make the walls of the castle. She was happy with the spade. It was big and strong and shiny. + +Ben watched Lily for a while. He was bored with his small spade. He wanted his big spade back. + +"Lily, can I have my spade now?" Ben asked Lily. "I need it to make the towers." + +"But I'm not done with the walls," Lily said. "Your spade is so good. Can I keep it?" + +"No, you can't keep it," Ben said. "It's mine. You said you would give it back." + +Lily and Ben started to argue. They both wanted the spade. They forgot about the castle. They forgot about having fun. + +A big wave came and washed away the sand. The bucket and the spade were swept away too. Lily and Ben were sad. They had lost their toys. They had lost their castle. They had lost their fun. + +They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They hugged and said sorry. + +"Let's go and find another bucket and spade," Lily said. + +"OK, let's go," Ben said. "And let's share them. Sharing is better than fighting." + +Lily and Ben ran to the shop. They bought a new bucket and a spade. They went back to the sand. They made a new castle. They had fun. They were friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. They saw some corn growing in a big pot. They wanted to pick some and eat it. + +"Can we have some corn, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful. The corn is not ready yet. It is still green and hard. You have to wait until it is yellow and soft," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They went to the pot and looked at the corn. They saw some husks that were partly open. They pulled them back and saw the green kernels inside. + +"They look like little beads," Tom said. + +He touched one with his finger. It was hard and dry. He tried to squeeze it, but nothing happened. + +"It is not good," he said. + +Lily picked another ear of corn. She squeezed it too, but it was also hard and dry. + +"Maybe we can cook it," she said. + +She ran to the kitchen and got a pot and some water. She put the corn in the pot and put it on the stove. She turned on the fire. + +"Look, Tom, we are cooking corn!" she said. + +Tom followed her to the kitchen. He saw the pot and the fire. He smelled the smoke. + +"Mom, Mom, come quick!" he shouted. + +Mom heard the shout and ran to the kitchen. She saw the pot and the fire. She saw the smoke and the burnt corn. + +"Oh, no, what have you done?" she said. + +She turned off the fire and took the pot off the stove. She opened the window and fanned the smoke away. + +"Lily, Tom, you should never play with the stove. It is very dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or started a fire. And you wasted the corn. It was not ready to eat or cook. You have to wait until it is ripe," she said. + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They did not mean to make a mess or cause trouble. They wanted to have some corn. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We wanted to try the corn," they said. + +Mom hugged them and kissed them. + +"It is okay, I know you did not know. But you have to listen to me and follow the rules. The stove is not a toy. And the corn is not ready. You have to be patient and wait. Now, let's clean up this mess and make the kitchen tidy again," she said. + +Lily and Tom helped Mom to clean up the pot and the stove. They threw away the burnt corn and washed the dishes. They made the kitchen tidy again. + +"Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are good helpers. Maybe next week, the corn will be ready. Then we can pick some and cook it together. And it will be yummy and sweet," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom smiled. They liked to help Mom. They liked to cook with her. They hoped the corn would be ready soon. They wanted to taste it. They loved corn. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a dog named Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog. He is very friendly and likes to run and jump. + +One day, Ben and Mia see a new dog in the park. The new dog is small, white and fluffy. He has a pink bow on his head. He is with a girl in a dress. The girl is holding a leash. + +"Look, Mia, a new dog!" Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, he is very cute. Do you think he wants to play with Spot?" Mia says. + +They go to the girl and the new dog. They say hello. + +"Hi, I'm Ben and this is Mia. This is our dog, Spot. What is your name? What is your dog's name?" Ben asks. + +"Hi, I'm Lily and this is Fluffy. He is my dog. He is very popular. Everyone likes him. He is very smart and pretty." Lily says. + +"Can Fluffy play with Spot?" Mia asks. + +Lily looks at Spot. She frowns. + +"No, Fluffy can't play with Spot. Spot is too big and too brown. He might hurt Fluffy. Fluffy only plays with nice dogs like him." Lily says. + +Ben and Mia are sad. They think Lily is mean. They think Spot is nice. They love Spot. + +"Come on, Mia, let's go. We don't want to play with Lily and Fluffy. They are not nice. Spot is our friend. He is the best dog ever." Ben says. + +They walk away with Spot. Spot wags his tail. He is happy. He doesn't care about Fluffy. He likes Ben and Mia. They are his friends. They are the best. +Jen and Ben are twins. They like to jog with Mom and Dad. They jog in the park, by the lake, and on the hill. They have fun and feel good. + +One day, they see a boy in the park. He has no shoes, no coat, and no hat. He looks sad and cold. He is poor. Jen and Ben feel sorry for him. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Jen asks. + +"Tom," the boy says. + +"Do you want to jog with us?" Ben asks. + +Tom nods. He likes to jog, but he has no one to jog with. He follows Jen and Ben and their parents. They jog and talk and laugh. Tom feels happy and warm. + +Jen and Ben share their snacks and water with Tom. They give him their old shoes, coat, and hat. They say he can jog with them anytime. Tom thanks them. He says they are kind and nice. He says they are his friends. + +Jen and Ben smile. They are happy to help Tom. They are happy to have a new friend. They are happy to be twins. They jog home with Mom and Dad. They hug and say they love each other. They have a good day. +Mira and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big red car near the gate. It was shiny and new. + +"Wow, look at that car!" Tom said. "It is so big and red. I want to touch it." + +Mira shook her head. "No, Tom. That is not our car. That is someone else's car. It is expensive. We cannot touch it." + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the car and put his hand on the door. He tried to open it. + +"Stop, Tom, stop!" Mira shouted. "You are doing a bad thing. The car owner will be angry." + +Just then, a man came out of the shop. He saw Tom and Mira near his car. He looked very angry. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my car?" he yelled. "Get away from it. This is my expensive car. You have no right to touch it." + +He grabbed Tom's hand and pulled it away from the door. Tom felt scared and sorry. He started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, mister. I just wanted to see your car. It is so big and red. I like it," Tom said. + +The man frowned. He looked at Mira. She was also crying. + +"Are you his sister?" he asked. + +Mira nodded. "Yes, mister. I'm sorry too. I tried to stop him. But he did not listen to me." + +The man sighed. He let go of Tom's hand. He bent down and looked at them. + +"Listen, kids. I know you like my car. But you cannot touch it without my permission. It is expensive and I worked hard to buy it. You could damage it or hurt yourself. Do you understand?" he said. + +Mira and Tom nodded. They said sorry again. + +The man smiled. He was not so angry anymore. He patted their heads. + +"It's okay. I forgive you. But next time, be more careful and respectful. And ask before you touch anything that is not yours. Okay?" he said. + +Mira and Tom said okay. They thanked the man and ran back to the park. They decided to play with their own toys and not touch anyone else's car. They learned their lesson. +Tommy did not like his new sweater. It was ugly. It had red and green stripes and a big snowman on the front. He did not want to wear it to school. He wanted to wear his blue shirt with the dinosaur. + +He had an idea. He would hide the sweater. He would put it under his bed and wear his blue shirt instead. He smiled and ran to his room. + +But his mom saw him. She followed him and opened his door. She saw the sweater under his bed. She was not happy. + +"Tommy, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why did you hide your sweater?" + +Tommy looked down. He did not know what to say. He did not want to make his mom sad. She had bought him the sweater for his birthday. + +"I'm sorry, mom," he said. "I don't like the sweater. It is ugly. I like my blue shirt better." + +His mom sighed. She sat on his bed and hugged him. + +"I understand, Tommy," she said. "But the sweater is not ugly. It is special. Your grandma made it for you. She loves you very much. She wanted you to have a warm and cozy sweater for the winter. She put a lot of work and care into it. Don't you want to show her how much you appreciate it?" + +Tommy thought about his grandma. He loved her too. He remembered how she always baked him cookies and read him stories. He felt bad for hiding the sweater. + +"Okay, mom," he said. "I will wear the sweater. But can I wear my blue shirt under it?" + +His mom smiled. She kissed his cheek. + +"Of course, Tommy," she said. "You can wear both. You will look very handsome and happy. And your grandma will be very proud of you." +Mia and Leo were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were in a castle, and the sofa was their throne. They used a big curtain to make a wall around their castle, and they had some toys and books inside. + +"Leo, I'm hungry," Mia said. "Can we have a snack?" + +"OK, but we have to be quiet," Leo said. "Mom is working in the other room. She said we have to mind her and not make noise." + +They tiptoed to the kitchen and looked for something yummy to eat. They saw a bowl of grapes on the table. Mia loved grapes, they were sweet and juicy. She reached for the bowl, but Leo stopped her. + +"Wait, Mia," he said. "We have to wash the grapes first. They might have dirt on them." + +He turned on the faucet and rinsed the grapes under the water. He gave some to Mia and took some for himself. They went back to the living room, holding the grapes carefully. + +They lifted the curtain and crawled into their castle. They sat on the sofa and ate the grapes. They smiled at each other and said, "Yummy!" + +They heard a knock on the curtain. It was Mom. She peeked inside and saw them. + +"Hello, my little royals," she said. "Are you having fun?" + +"Yes, Mom," Mia and Leo said. "We are playing castle, and we had some yummy grapes." + +"That's good," Mom said. "You are very good at minding me and being quiet. I'm proud of you. Do you want to read a story with me?" + +"Yes, please!" Mia and Leo said. They jumped off the sofa and hugged Mom. They took their favorite book and followed her to the couch. They snuggled with her and listened to her read. They felt happy and cozy. They loved their mom, and their castle, and their grapes. +Sam liked to go to the barber with his dad. The barber had a big chair that went up and down, and a shiny thing that made his hair shorter. Sam liked to watch the barber cut his dad's hair and listen to his stories. + +One day, the barber told Sam and his dad about a bright star that he saw in the sky at night. He said it was very special and made a wish on it. Sam wanted to see the bright star too, and asked his dad if they could look for it later. + +"Sure, buddy," his dad said. "We can look for the bright star after dinner. Maybe we can make a wish too." + +Sam was very happy. He thanked the barber for his story and gave him a hug. Then he and his dad went home, excited to see the bright star. They ate their dinner quickly and went outside. They looked up at the sky and saw many stars, but one was brighter than the others. + +"There it is!" Sam shouted, pointing at the bright star. "Can we make a wish now, dad?" + +"Of course," his dad said, holding his hand. "But remember, you have to keep your wish a secret, or it won't come true." + +Sam nodded and closed his eyes. He thought hard and made a wish. He wished that he could be a barber like his friend, and tell stories to people while he cut their hair. He opened his eyes and smiled at his dad. + +"I made a wish, dad," he said. "Did you?" + +"I did, son," his dad said, smiling back. "And I hope both our wishes come true." + +They hugged each other and watched the bright star for a while. Then they went inside and got ready for bed. Sam felt happy and sleepy. He hoped to see the barber and the bright star again soon. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win.

He said, "I am the best at this game. You are bad, Lily. You have no cards." + +Lily felt sad and mad. She said, "No, you are not the best. You are cheating, Tom. You are taking my cards." + +Mom and dad heard them and they were not happy. They said, "Stop, Tom and Lily. You are being rude and unkind. Playing games is for fun, not for fighting.

We will be nice and share." + +Mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said, "That's good, Tom and Lily. We love you both. Now, let's finish the game and have some fun." + +They played the game again and had fun. They laughed and cheered and helped each other. When the game was over, they said, "Good game, everyone. You are all good at this game." + +Mom and dad said, "You are too, Tom and Lily. You are good at playing and being kind. We are proud of you." + +They went to the kitchen and had some snacks. Mom and dad had some wine and Tom and Lily had some juice. They talked and joked and had a good time. + +The wine reminded mom and dad of their wedding day. They told Tom and Lily how they met and fell in love and got married. They showed them some pictures and said, "You were not born yet, but you were in our hearts. You are our best gifts." + +Tom and Lily listened and smiled. They said, "We love you, mom and dad. You are our best gifts too." They hugged and kissed them and said, "Thank you for playing with us and telling us your story." + +Mom and dad said, "You are welcome, Tom and Lily. Thank you for playing with us and being our story." They hugged and kissed them back and said, "We are a happy family." +Lily and Ben like to play in the garden. They dig holes and make mud pies.

"Do you want to play with us?" + +The mole shakes its head. It does not want to play. It wants to dig more holes. It is a stubborn mole. + +"Please, mole!" Ben says. "We have mud pies for you. We can serve you mud pies. They are yummy!" + +The mole sniffs the mud pies. They do not smell yummy. They smell like dirt. The mole does not like dirt. It likes worms. It is a hungry mole. + +"No, thank you!" the mole says. "I do not want mud pies. I want worms. Goodbye!" + +The mole goes back into the ground. It leaves a big hole behind. Lily and Ben are sad. They wanted to be friends with the mole. They do not understand why the mole is so stubborn. They decide to fill the hole with more mud pies. Maybe the mole will change its mind later. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a cell in the kitchen. It is shiny and has many buttons. Sara wants to touch it, but Tom says no. + +"That is mom's cell. She needs it for work. We cannot play with it," Tom says. + +Sara nods, but she still wants to touch it. When Tom is not looking, she takes the cell and puts it in her pocket. She thinks it is a secret. + +Later, mom comes home. She looks for her cell, but she cannot find it. She is angry and worried. She asks Sara and Tom if they know where it is. + +Tom shakes his head. He does not know. Sara feels ashamed. She knows she did a bad thing. She takes the cell out of her pocket and gives it to mom. + +"I am sorry, mom. I took your cell. I wanted to play with it," Sara says. + +Mom is not happy.

She hugs mom and says she loves her. + +Mom hugs Sara back. She says she loves her too. She says she is glad Sara told the truth.

They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They named him Jolly, because he had a big smile. + +One day, they saw a big truck coming down the road. It was spraying white powder on the snow. Tim and Lily wondered what it was. + +"Maybe it is sugar," Tim said. "Maybe they want to make the snow sweet." + +"Or maybe it is salt," Lily said. "Maybe they want to make the snow melt." + +They ran to the truck and asked the driver. + +"Excuse me, sir, what is that powder?" Tim said. + +"It is sand, little ones," the driver said. "It helps the cars not to slip on the ice." + +"Can we have some?" Lily said.

"It will be fun." + +"No, don't do it," Lily said. "It will hurt him. He is our friend." + +Tim did not listen. He took a handful of sand and threw it at Jolly's face. + +Lily tried to stop him, but it was too late. The sand hit Jolly's nose and eyes. It made him look sad and dirty. + +Jolly did not like it. He felt a tickle in his nose. He could not resist. He sneezed. + +"Achoo!" Jolly sneezed. The carrot nose flew out of his face. The buttons fell off his eyes.

It's going to move soon!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what a train was. They did not know it could move. They jumped out of their seats and ran to the door.

I am busy." + +Anna says, "Come and see, Tom. There is something amazing in the water. It is alive and it moves." + +Tom gets up and goes to Anna.

Let's look in the book and find out." + +They look in the book and find a picture of a water flea. It says that water fleas are very small animals that live in ponds and lakes. They eat algae and bacteria and are food for fish and frogs. + +Anna and Tom learn something new. They are happy and excited.

He is chasing a ball that rolled under the sofa. He is very noisy and playful. + +Anna and Tom say, "Shh, Rex. Be quiet. You are making too much noise. You are scaring the water flea." + +But Rex does not listen. He keeps barking and running. He bumps into the table where the microscope is. The microscope falls to the floor and breaks. + +Anna and Tom are sad and angry. They say, "Oh no, Rex. You broke our microscope. That was not nice. That was bad." + +Rex looks at them with his big eyes. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He does not understand why they are mad. He just wants to play. + +Anna and Tom sigh.

It is Mom. + +"Jill! Ben! What are you doing?" Mom says. She is angry and scared. She runs to the stove and turns off the fire. She takes the pot and throws it in the sink. She warns them. "You should never play with the stove or the fire. It is very dangerous. You could get hurt or burn the house. And you should never use food that is not yours. This cream was for the cat.

Don't eat it! Don't eat my doll!" she cried. + +Mom hugged Sara and kissed her. "Don't worry, Sara. I won't eat your doll. Your doll is safe. You can keep it. But the cauliflower is not a toy.

They nodded and said, "Yes, mom, we can do that. We promise." + +Mom smiled and said, "Good. Then let's open the box and see the refrigerator." She cut the tape and lifted the flap. Lily and Ben gasped and clapped. The refrigerator was shiny and white and had a lot of buttons and drawers. It looked like a big toy. + +Mom showed them how to open the door and see the inside. There were shelves and bins and lights and a freezer. There was also a place where you could get water and ice.

Sara always finds him fast. + +One day, Sara wants to teach Ben how to hide better. She says, "Ben, you need to find a new place to hide. Behind the sofa is too easy. I can see you every time. Come, I will show you some good places." + +Sara takes Ben to the bedroom. She shows him how to hide under the bed, in the closet, and behind the curtains. Ben tries to hide in each place, but he is too big. He sticks out his feet, his head, or his arms. Sara laughs and says, "Ben, you are too big for these places. You need to find a place that fits you." + +Ben thinks hard. He looks around the house. He sees the poor cat sleeping in a basket. He has an idea. He picks up the cat and puts it on the sofa. Then he climbs into the basket and covers himself with a blanket. He thinks he is very clever. + +Sara comes to look for Ben. She sees the cat on the sofa. She thinks it is strange. She goes to the bedroom. She does not see Ben under the bed, in the closet, or behind the curtains. She goes to the kitchen. She does not see Ben in the cupboard, in the fridge, or in the oven. She goes to the bathroom. She does not see Ben in the tub, in the sink, or in the toilet. She goes back to the living room. She is puzzled. Where is Ben? + +She hears a small sound. It is the cat. The cat is angry. It does not like to be on the sofa. It wants to be in the basket. It meows and scratches the sofa. Sara goes to the sofa. She sees the cat. She sees the basket. She sees the blanket. She lifts the blanket. She sees Ben. She says, "Ben, I found you! You hid in the basket with the cat. That was a good place. But you made the cat mad. You should say sorry to the cat." + +Ben comes out of the basket. He says sorry to the cat. He gives the cat a hug. He gives the basket back to the cat. He says to Sara, "Sara, you are a good teach. You showed me how to hide better. But I think I like the sofa more. Can we play again?" + +Sara smiles and says, "Yes, Ben, we can play again. But this time, you count and I hide. OK?" + +Ben says, "OK, Sara, you hide and I count. One, two, three..." +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the hut. The hut is in the garden. It is made of wood and has a door and a window. Tim and Mia pretend it is their house. + +One day, they play a game. They count how many things they have in the hut.

They have three books, four cups, five cars, and six blocks. They are happy. They have many things. + +But then they hear a funny noise. It comes from the window. They see a face. It is a cat. The cat is black and white. It has green eyes and a pink nose. It meows. + +"Hello, cat," says Tim. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The cat jumps into the hut. It runs around and plays with the things. It knocks over the cups and the blocks. It chases the ball and the cars. It cuddles the dolls and the books. + +Tim and Mia laugh.

They have one ball, two dolls, three books, four cups, five cars, six blocks, and one cat. They are very happy. They have many things and a new friend. +Timmy had a dog named Spot. Spot was a good dog. He liked to play and run and bark. But one day, Spot was not feeling well. He was dull and sad. He did not want to play or run or bark. He only wanted to lie down and sleep. + +Timmy was worried about Spot. He told his mom, "Mom, Spot is sick. He needs help." + +Mom said, "Don't worry, Timmy. We will take Spot to the veterinarian. The veterinarian is a person who helps sick animals. He will make Spot feel better." + +Timmy and Mom put Spot in the car and drove to the veterinarian. The veterinarian was nice. He looked at Spot and said, "Spot has a fever. He needs some medicine and some rest. He will be fine in a few days." + +Timmy was happy to hear that. He said, "Thank you, veterinarian. You are very kind. Can I give Spot a hug?" + +The veterinarian said, "Of course, Timmy. You can hug Spot. He loves you very much. And you are a good friend to him." + +Timmy hugged Spot and said, "I love you, Spot. You are a good dog. I hope you feel better soon." + +Spot wagged his tail and licked Timmy's face. He was glad to have Timmy and the veterinarian. He knew they cared for him. He felt a little better already. +Anna and Ben are twins. They have a cat. The cat is gray. The cat is naughty.

But they wish the cat was not so naughty. +Lena was very happy today. She was going to see her grandma, who lived far away. She put on her new blouse, which was pink and had flowers on it. She liked her blouse, because it was pretty and modest. She did not like clothes that were too loud or too tight. + +She went to the car with her mom and dad. They drove for a long time, and Lena saw many things on the way. She saw cows and horses, and trees and hills, and bridges and rivers. She asked her mom and dad many questions, and they answered her. They also sang songs and played games. + +Finally, they arrived at grandma's house. Lena was very excited. She jumped out of the car and ran to the door. She knocked and waited.

She saw a big cake on the table, with candles and frosting. She also saw a big box with a bow on it. She wondered what was inside. She felt very happy and loved. She said, "Thank you, grandma! You are the best!" +Tom and Lily went to the hospital with their mom. Mom had a hurt arm and needed an x-ray. Tom and Lily were curious about the x-ray. They wanted to see what it was. + +A friendly nurse came and took mom to a big room. She told Tom and Lily to wait outside with dad. She said they could observe the x-ray from a window. Tom and Lily followed dad to the window. They saw mom lie on a table. The nurse put a big machine over mom's arm. The machine made a beep sound. + +"What is the x-ray doing?" Tom asked dad. + +"The x-ray is taking a picture of mom's bones," dad explained. "It helps the doctor see if mom's arm is broken or not." + +"Can we see the picture?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, the nurse will show us soon," dad said. + +Tom and Lily waited patiently. They hoped mom's arm was not broken. They wanted mom to feel better. They saw the nurse take the x-ray picture and bring it to the window. She smiled and showed it to Tom and Lily. + +"Look, this is mom's arm," she said. "See, these are her bones. They are white. And this is her skin and muscles. They are gray. And this is the hurt part. It is a little darker. But it is not broken. It is just bruised. Mom will be fine." + +Tom and Lily were happy.

Tom and Lily felt proud. They learned something new. They liked the x-ray. They liked the friendly nurse. They liked the hospital. But they liked mom more. +Lila was a little bird who loved to fly. She liked to see the town from the sky, and to visit her friends who lived in different places. She liked to sing and to play with the clouds and the sun. + +One day, she saw a big, shiny thing in the air. It was not a bird, and it was not a cloud. It was a plane, and it made a loud noise. Lila was curious and wanted to see it closer. She flew after the plane, but it was too fast and too high. She tried to catch up, but she got tired and lost her way. + +She looked around and saw that she was far from the town. She did not know where she was, and she did not see any other birds. She felt scared and alone. She wanted to go back to the town, but she did not know how. + +She started to cry, and to call for help. "Help, help, I am lost!" she shouted. "Is anyone here?" + +Then, she heard a voice. It was a friendly voice, and it came from a tree. "Hello, little bird, why are you crying?" the voice said. "Who are you?" + +Lila looked up and saw a big, brown owl. He had big eyes and a big beak. He looked wise and kind. Lila felt a little better. She said, "I am Lila, and I am lost. I followed a plane, and I flew too far. I want to go back to the town, but I don't know the way. Can you help me?" + +The owl nodded and said, "I can help you, Lila. I know the way to the town, and I can show you. But first, you need to rest and eat. You must be hungry and tired. Come, sit on this branch, and I will share my food with you." + +Lila was grateful and happy. She flew to the branch and sat next to the owl. He gave her some nuts and berries, and they talked for a while. He told her stories about the forest, and she told him stories about the town. They became friends, and Lila felt safe and warm. + +After they finished eating, the owl said, "Now, are you ready to go back to the town, Lila?" Lila said, "Yes, thank you, owl. You are very nice and helpful. Can I visit you again?" The owl said, "Of course, Lila. You are always welcome. But be careful, and don't follow planes. They are not for birds. They are for people." + +Lila agreed, and said goodbye to the owl. He flew with her until he saw the town, and then he pointed the way. Lila thanked him again, and flew to the town. She was happy to see her home and her friends. She told them about her adventure, and about the owl. They were glad that she was safe, and that she made a new friend. Lila learned a lesson, and never followed planes again. She still loved to fly, but she stayed close to the town, and to the owl. +Tom and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also had a big knife that Mommy used to cut things. + +"Look, I can lift the knife!" Tom said. He grabbed the knife by the handle and lifted it up in the air. He felt strong and proud. + +"No, Tom, put it down!" Mia said. She was scared. The knife was sharp and dangerous. It could hurt Tom or Mia or someone else. "Mommy said we can't touch the knife. It's not a toy." + +But Tom did not listen. He wanted to show Mia how brave he was. He swung the knife around and made noises. "Zap! Pow! I'm a superhero!" + +Mia saw the knife coming closer to her. She screamed. "Tom, stop! You're going to cut me!" + +Tom heard Mia scream. He saw her face. She looked sad and scared. He felt bad. He did not want to hurt Mia. He loved Mia. She was his sister and his friend. + +He stopped swinging the knife. He put it down on the table.

He wanted to make a big bang. He made a big fire." + +Mom took the pistol and the matches from Ben. She said, "Ben, you are in big trouble. You could have burned the house.

I am sorry. I will not do it again." + +Mom hugged Lily and Ben. She said, "I am glad you are both safe. But you need to learn a lesson. You need to be careful and responsible.

He was sad and slapped Sara back on the cheek. + +"Stop it, both of you!" their mom said. She heard the noise and came to the garage. She saw the wrench and the red marks on Sara and Ben. She was not happy and took the wrench away. + +"You should not play with dad's tools. They are dangerous and not for children. And you should not slap each other. That is not nice and not how we treat our family." she said. + +Sara and Ben felt sorry and hugged each other. They said they were sorry and they loved each other. + +"Good. Now, why don't you play with something else? How about these blocks and cars? You can build a modest house and a garage for them." their mom said.

It was their mom, who had dropped a plate on the floor. + +"Oh no, I broke it!" their mom said, looking at the pieces of the plate. "This was grandma's plate, she gave it to me when I was little. It was very special to me." + +Ben and Lily ran to the kitchen to see what happened. They saw their mom looking sad and the broken plate on the floor. + +"Mommy, don't be sad!" Ben said, hugging her. + +"Yeah, mommy, we can fix it!" Lily said, picking up a piece of the plate. + +They brought the pieces of the plate to the living room and tried to put them back together.

It was not the same as before, but it had colorful stickers and funny shapes. + +"Wow, you did a great job!" their mom said, smiling. "Thank you, my sweeties. You have such big brains and big hearts. You made me very happy." + +She hugged them and kissed them. Then she said, "How about we make some cookies to celebrate? I have some delicious chocolate chips in the pantry." + +"Yay, cookies!"

Go away!" + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They said, "No, that is our car. Give it back!" They tried to pull the car from the big boy, but he was too strong. He pushed them away and laughed. + +Tom and Lily did not give up. They wanted their car back. They looked around and saw a stick. They picked up the stick and ran to the big boy. They said, "If you don't give us our car, we will hit you with this stick!" + +The big boy was scared. He did not want to be hit. He said, "Okay, okay, take your car. I don't want it anymore." He threw the car to Tom and Lily and ran away. + +Tom and Lily were happy. They got their car back. They hugged each other and said, "We did it! We resisted the big boy. He was mean and greedy. We are good and fair. We share our toys." + +They put the car with their other toys and continued to play. They had many toys available, but the car was their favorite. They smiled and enjoyed the park. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. One day, they saw a big tree with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there. + +"Let's climb the tree!" Ben said to Lily. "Maybe we can find a bird's nest or a squirrel." + +"OK, but be careful!" Lily said. "The tree is very high and the branches are thin." + +They took off their shoes and socks and started to climb the tree. They held on to the branches and moved up slowly. They saw many leaves, bugs and acorns. They also saw a pigeon sitting on a branch. The pigeon was gray and white and had red feet. + +"Hello, pigeon!" Ben said. "What are you doing here?" + +The pigeon looked at Ben and Lily and cooed. It flapped its wings and flew away. Ben and Lily followed it with their eyes. They saw it land on a roof of a house. The house was empty and had no people or things inside. + +"Where did the pigeon go?" Lily asked. "Why is the house empty?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe the pigeon lives there. Maybe the people moved away." + +They climbed a little higher and reached the top of the tree. They could see the whole park and the street and the sky. They felt happy and proud. They smiled at each other and hugged. + +"We did it!" Ben said. "We climbed the tree!" + +"We did it!" Lily said. "We saw a pigeon!" + +They stayed on the tree for a while and enjoyed the view. Then they climbed down carefully and put on their shoes and socks. They ran to their mom and dad and told them about their adventure. + +"We climbed a tree and saw a pigeon and an empty house!" Ben said. + +"We had fun and learned new things!" Lily said. + +Mom and dad hugged them and praised them. They were glad that Ben and Lily were brave and curious.

He ran to the equipment and climbed on it. He pushed a button and the equipment made a loud noise. He pulled a lever and the equipment moved up and down. + +Lily was scared. She did not like the noise and the movement. She stayed away from the equipment and watched Ben. + +"Come on, Lily!" said Ben. "It's fun! You can do it!" + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to do it. She wanted to quit. + +"No, thank you," said Lily. "I don't like it. It's too loud and too fast. I want to play something else." + +Ben saw that Lily was scared. He did not want to make her sad. He climbed down from the equipment and ran to her. + +"OK, Lily," said Ben. "We can play something else. How about the sandbox?" + +Lily smiled. She liked the sandbox. She took Ben's hand and they walked to the sandbox. They played with the sand and made castles and cakes. They had fun and forgot about the equipment. They were happy. +Anna likes to play with her cards. She has many cards with different pictures on them. She tries to find two cards that have the same picture. She calls this game "match". + +One day, she plays match with her friend Ben. They sit on the grass and spread the cards on the ground. Anna picks up a card with a flower on it. She looks for another card with a flower. + +"Look, Ben, I found a match!" she says, holding up the cards. + +Ben smiles and claps. He picks up a card with a dog on it. He looks for another card with a dog. + +"Here is a match, too!" he says, showing Anna the cards. + +They are having fun. But then, a strong wind comes. It blows the cards away. The cards fly in the air and land far away. + +"Oh no, the wind took our cards!" Anna says, feeling sad. + +Ben feels sad, too. He likes the cards. He has an idea. + +"Let's chase the cards!" he says. "Maybe we can catch them and play again." + +Anna likes the idea. She thinks Ben is attractive. He is smart and kind. She nods and smiles. + +"OK, let's go!" she says. + +They get up and run after the cards. They laugh and shout. They try to catch the cards. They have a new game. They call it "wind match". +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a big bottle of water and a teaspoon. They want to spray the flowers and the bugs. + +Tom fills the teaspoon with water and holds it up. He blows hard and makes a spray. "Look, Mia, I can spray the rose!" he says. + +Mia tries to do the same, but she blows too slow. The water drips from the teaspoon and falls on the ground. "I can't spray, Tom, it's too hard!" she says. + +Tom helps Mia and shows her how to blow fast. "You have to blow like this, Mia, like a big wind!" he says. + +Mia tries again and this time she makes a spray. She sprays the daisy and the bee. "I did it, Tom, I did it!" she says. + +They laugh and spray more flowers and bugs. They have fun in the garden. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a bridge in the park. The bridge is over a stream. The stream has fish and frogs. + +One day, Anna and Ben go to the park. But the bridge is not there. There is a sign. The sign says: "Bridge is broken. Do not cross." Anna and Ben are sad. They want to cross the stream and see the fish and frogs. + +"Where is the bridge?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone took it away," Ben says. + +"Who would do that? That is not nice," Anna says. + +"Maybe they will bring it back. Maybe they are fixing it," Ben says. + +"I hope so. I miss the bridge. I miss the fish and frogs," Anna says. + +"Me too. Maybe we can find another way to cross the stream," Ben says. + +They look around. They see a big log. The log is over the stream. The log is open. There is no sign. + +"Look, Anna. We can use the log. The log is like a bridge," Ben says. + +"Are you sure? The log looks scary. What if we fall?" Anna says. + +"We can hold hands. We can be careful. We can do it," Ben says. + +"Okay. Let's try," Anna says. + +They hold hands. They walk on the log. They are brave. They cross the stream. They see the fish and frogs. They are happy. + +"Yay, we did it! We are on the other side!" Ben says. + +"We are. We are smart. We are strong. We are friends," Anna says. + +They hug. They play with the fish and frogs. They wait for the bridge to come back. They do not miss the bridge anymore. They have the log. They have each other. +Lily and Sam liked to play cops and robbers. Lily was the cop and Sam was the robber. They ran around the yard, chasing and hiding. + +"Stop, robber! I will catch you!" Lily shouted. + +"No, cop! You will not catch me!" Sam shouted back. + +They ran to the big pool. Sam jumped in and swam to the other side. Lily followed him, but the water was deep. She could not touch the bottom. She felt scared. + +"Help, help! I can't swim!" Lily cried. + +Sam heard her and turned around. He saw Lily splashing and sinking. He forgot he was a robber. He swam back to Lily and grabbed her hand. He pulled her to the edge of the pool. + +"Are you okay, cop?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, thank you, robber. You saved me!" Lily said. + +They hugged and smiled. They were not cops and robbers anymore. They were friends. +Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They like to pretend they are chefs and make food for their dolls. Anna has a big pot and Ben has a small pan. They fill them with water from the faucet and put them on the stove. + +"Be careful, Ben," Anna says. "The stove is hot. Don't touch it." + +"I know, I know," Ben says. "I'm not a baby. I can cook." + +Anna and Ben stir their pots and add salt and pepper and other things they find in the cupboard. They smell their food and smile. + +"Yum, this is going to be good," Anna says. + +"Mine is better," Ben says. + +"No, mine is," Anna says. + +They start to argue. They want to see who has the best food. They take their pots and pans and go to the table. They put them down and look at each other. + +"Let's taste them," Anna says. + +"OK," Ben says. + +They take a spoon and dip it in their food. They put it in their mouths and make a face. + +"Yuck!" they say together. + +Their food is not good. It is too salty and too spicy and too watery. They spit it out and drink some water. + +"That was gross," Anna says. + +"I know," Ben says. + +They look at their pots and pans and feel sad. They wasted a lot of water and food. They made a mess in the kitchen. They are not good chefs. + +"Maybe we should yield," Anna says. + +"What does that mean?" Ben asks. + +"It means we stop and say sorry and share," Anna says. + +"Oh," Ben says. "OK. I yield. I'm sorry, Anna. Do you want to share my pan?" + +"I'm sorry, too, Ben. Yes, I want to share your pan. Do you want to share my pot?" + +They nod and smile. They hug and say they are friends. They take their pots and pans and go back to the faucet. They open it and wash them. They clean the kitchen and put everything back. They are happy. They learned a new word and a new lesson. They decide to play something else. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. Lila wants to go on the slide. Tom is scared. + +"Come on, Tom. It is fun. You can start at the top and slide down fast." Lila says. + +"I don't know, Lila. It looks high. What if I fall?" Tom says. + +"You will not fall. You can hold my hand. I will start with you. We will be safe." Lila says. + +Lila and Tom climb the steps to the slide. They sit on the start. They hold hands. They look at each other and smile. + +"Ready, Tom?" Lila says. + +"Ready, Lila." Tom says. + +They push off and slide down. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream. They land on the ground. They are happy. + +"That was fun, Lila. Thank you for starting with me." Tom says. + +"You are welcome, Tom. You are brave. You are my friend." Lila says. + +They hug and run to play some more. They are safe and happy in the park. +Sara liked to collect colorful things. She had a big box full of shiny stones, soft feathers, pretty shells and bright buttons. She liked to look at them and make patterns with them. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a girl who was playing with a ball. The ball was very colorful. It had red, blue, yellow and green stripes. Sara wanted to collect the ball. + +She walked up to the girl and said, "Hello, I like your ball. Can I have it?" + +The girl looked at Sara and said, "No, this is my ball. I got it for my birthday. You can't have it." + +Sara felt sad. She said, "But I collect colorful things. Your ball is very colorful. Please, can I have it?" + +The girl shook her head. She said, "No, you can't have it. But you can play with it. We can take turns and roll it and bounce it. Do you want to play with me?" + +Sara thought for a moment. She still wanted to collect the ball, but she also wanted to play with the girl. She said, "OK, I will play with you. But can I look at your ball first?" + +The girl nodded. She said, "Sure, you can look at it. But be careful, don't drop it or lose it. It is my favorite ball." + +Sara smiled. She said, "OK, I will be careful. Thank you for letting me look at it. It is very beautiful." + +She took the ball and held it in her hands. She saw the colors shine in the sun. She felt the ball bounce in her fingers. She liked the ball very much. But she also liked the girl. She said, "Here, you can have your ball back. Let's play together." + +The girl smiled too. She said, "OK, let's play together. What is your name?" + +Sara said, "My name is Sara. What is yours?" + +The girl said, "My name is Lily. Nice to meet you, Sara." + +They became friends and played with the ball. They had fun and shared their colorful things. Sara learned that sometimes it is better to play than to collect. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys on the carpet. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red truck. They liked to make it go vroom and beep and carry things. + +One day, Mom said they had to fold the carpet and put it away. She said they had a guest coming and they needed to make room. Tim and Lily did not want to fold the carpet. They wanted to keep playing with their truck. + +"Please, Mom, can we play a little more?" Tim asked. + +"No, Tim, you have to fold the carpet now. It is polite to share the space with our guest. He is a humble man who does not have many things. He will sleep on the couch tonight." Mom said. + +"Who is he, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"He is your uncle Joe. He is my brother. He is very kind and funny. He likes to tell stories and make jokes. You will like him, I promise." Mom said. + +Tim and Lily looked at each other. They liked stories and jokes. Maybe uncle Joe was not so bad. Maybe they could play with him later. + +"Okay, Mom, we will fold the carpet." Tim said. + +"Good, thank you, Tim. And thank you, Lily. You are very good children." Mom said. + +Tim and Lily folded the carpet together. They put it in the closet. They also put their toys in a box. They left their big red truck out. They hoped uncle Joe would like it too. They wanted to show him how it went vroom and beep and carried things. +Anna and Ben are playing in the yard. They like to dig holes and find bugs. Anna has a big tool that can dig fast. Ben has a small tool that can dig deep. They are happy and share their tools. + +But then, a big dog comes to the yard. It has black fur and sharp teeth. It barks loud and runs fast. Anna and Ben are scared. They drop their tools and run to the house. + +"Help, help!" they cry. "There is a big dog in the yard!" + +Mom hears them and comes out. She sees the big dog. She is not scared. She knows the dog. It is her friend's dog. His name is Rex. He is a good dog, but he likes to play. + +Mom calls Rex and gives him a treat. She pets him and talks to him. "Rex, you are a good dog, but you scared Anna and Ben. They are small and you are big. You have to be gentle and quiet with them. Can you do that?" + +Rex wags his tail and licks Mom's hand. He nods and barks softly. He is a modest dog. He does not want to scare Anna and Ben. He wants to be their friend. + +Mom brings Anna and Ben out. She tells them that Rex is a good dog and a friend. She asks them to say hello to Rex and pet him. Anna and Ben are shy at first, but they see that Rex is nice and calm. They say hello and pet him. Rex licks their faces and wags his tail. He is happy. + +Anna and Ben are happy too. They are not scared of Rex anymore. They invite him to play with them. They give him their tools and show him their holes and bugs. Rex likes to dig and find bugs too. They have fun and laugh. + +Mom smiles and watches them. She is glad that Anna and Ben and Rex are friends. She thinks they are a good team. She goes to the house and makes some cookies for them. She knows they will be hungry after playing. She loves them. +One day, Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run with their friends. They were having fun until they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. Tom and Anna were scared of the dog. + +"Let's go away!" Tom said to Anna. "The dog is bad!" + +But Anna did not want to go. She liked dogs and wanted to pet the dog. She said to Tom, "No, the dog is good! He just wants to play!" + +Tom and Anna did not agree. They started to argue. They said mean words to each other. They were angry and sad. They decided to part and play with other kids. + +Tom went to the sandbox and Anna went to the seesaw. But they did not have fun. They missed each other. They wanted to be friends again. They felt ashamed of their fight. + +After a while, they looked at each other. They saw that the dog was gone. They also saw that they were sorry. They walked towards each other. They said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. You are my friend." + +They hugged and smiled. They were happy again. They went back to the swing and slide. They played and laughed with their friends. They learned to be kind and share. They never fought over a dog again. +Sara likes fashion. She likes to wear pretty dresses and shiny shoes. She likes to make her hair look nice with clips and ribbons. She wants to be popular at school and have many friends. + +One day, Sara sees a new girl in her class. Her name is Lily. Lily does not wear pretty dresses or shiny shoes. She wears jeans and a t-shirt. She does not have clips or ribbons in her hair. She has a hat with a flower on it. Sara thinks Lily is not fashionable. + +Sara decides to make fun of Lily. She says to her, "You look silly in that hat. You are not popular. No one will play with you." Lily feels sad. She does not say anything. She goes to sit by herself. + +At recess, Sara and her friends play on the swings. Sara sees Lily sitting on a bench. She has a book in her hands. Sara thinks Lily is boring. She says to her friends, "Look at Lily. She is reading a book. She does not know how to have fun. She is not popular." + +Lily hears Sara. She feels angry. She says to Sara, "You are mean. You do not know anything about me. You do not know what I like. You do not know what fashion is. Fashion is not only about clothes. Fashion is about being yourself and being happy. I like my hat. It is my favorite. My grandma made it for me. She is very good at knitting. She taught me how to knit too. I can make my own clothes. I can make clothes for you too, if you want. But you have to be nice to me first." + +Sara is surprised. She does not know what to say. She looks at Lily's hat. She sees that it is very well made. It has many colors and patterns. It is very pretty. She feels ashamed. She says to Lily, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. You are very fashionable. You are very talented. You are very nice. Can we be friends?" + +Lily smiles. She says to Sara, "Yes, we can be friends. Thank you for saying sorry. Do you want to see my book? It is about animals. I love animals. Do you love animals too?" + +Sara nods. She says to Lily, "Yes, I love animals too. Can I sit with you? Can I read your book with you?" + +Lily says, "Of course. Come, sit with me. We can read together. We can share my hat too. It is big enough for both of us." + +Sara and Lily sit on the bench. They put the hat on their heads. They open the book. They read about animals. They laugh and talk. They have fun. They become friends. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. But sometimes Ben teases Anna. He says her dolls are silly and her hair is messy. Anna does not like that. She feels sad and angry. + +One day, Anna has a new dress. It is pink and has flowers. She is very happy. She shows Ben her dress. But Ben teases her again. He says her dress is ugly and looks like a cut. He laughs at her. Anna feels very bad. She runs away and cries. + +"Anna, wait!" Ben calls. He follows her. He sees her crying. He feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt her. He was just joking. He wants to say sorry. But he is nervous. He does not know how to make her feel better. + +"Anna, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Your dress is not ugly. It is very pretty. You are very pretty. I like your dolls and your hair. I was just teasing. Can you forgive me?" Ben says. + +Anna looks at him. She sees he is sorry. She wipes her tears. She smiles. She forgives him. She says, "Thank you, Ben. I'm sorry too. I know you were teasing. But it hurt my feelings. Next time, please be nice. Can we still be friends?" + +Ben nods. He hugs her. He says, "Yes, we can still be friends. I'm sorry I made you cry. You are my best friend. Can we play together?" + +Anna nods. She hugs him back. She says, "Yes, we can play together. You are my best friend too. Come on, let's go play with the dolls and the cars." + +They go back to play. They are happy. They do not tease each other anymore. They are nice to each other. They are good friends. +Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They build towers, bridges, and houses with the blocks. Sometimes they make a network of blocks that connects all their buildings. They think their network is impressive. + +One day, they want to make their network bigger. They look for more blocks in the toy box. But they cannot find any. They see a big bag of blocks on the shelf. They want to get the bag. + +"Let's pull the bag down," Sara says. + +"OK," Ben says. They both grab the bag and pull hard. But the bag is too heavy. They cannot pull it down. They pull harder and harder. + +Suddenly, the bag falls off the shelf. It lands on the floor with a loud bang. Blocks fly everywhere. Some blocks hit Sara and Ben. They cry out. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Sara and Ben say. + +Mom hears the noise. She runs to the room. She sees the mess and the crying children. + +"What happened?" Mom asks. + +"We wanted more blocks," Sara says. + +"We tried to pull the bag," Ben says. + +Mom hugs Sara and Ben. She says, "I'm sorry you got hurt. But you should not pull things that are too heavy. You could get hurt or break something. Next time, ask me for help, OK?" + +"OK," Sara and Ben say. + +Mom helps them clean up the blocks. She gives them some ice for their bumps. She says, "You have a lot of blocks already. You can make a great network with them. I think your network is impressive." + +Sara and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you, Mom." + +They go back to playing with their blocks. They make a new network that is even more impressive. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big tree with many birds. They wanted to see the birds up close. + +They climbed the tree very carefully. They saw a nest with three eggs. They were blue and speckled. They heard a chirp. A bird was stuck in a wire. The wire was around its wing. It looked hurt and scared. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "The bird needs help. We have to rescue it." + +"How?" Ben asked. "The wire is tight and sharp. We can't touch it." + +Lily thought hard. She saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up. She reached for the wire with the stick. She tried to pull it off the bird. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Ben said. "Don't hurt the bird or yourself." + +Lily was careful. She pulled and pulled. The wire snapped. The bird was free. It flew away. It chirped happily. + +"Yay!" Lily and Ben cheered. "We rescued the bird!" + +They climbed down the tree. They were happy and proud. They saw a man with a hat and a badge. He was a park ranger. He smiled at them. + +"Hello, kids," he said. "I saw what you did. You were very brave and kind. You saved the bird's life. That was a cool thing to do." + +"Thank you, sir," Lily and Ben said. "We love birds. We want them to be safe and happy." + +The park ranger gave them a sticker. It had a picture of a bird and a heart. He said, "You are good friends to the birds. And to each other. Keep it up." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They put the stickers on their shirts. They hugged each other. They went back to play. They had a fun day. +Lily did not like to wear socks. She said they were too tight and itchy. Every morning, her mom tried to put socks on her feet, but Lily would resist. She would kick and scream and hide under the bed. + +One day, her mom had a new idea. She showed Lily a pair of socks that had stars and moons on them. She said they were magic socks that would make Lily fly and dream. Lily was curious. She liked stars and moons. She wanted to fly and dream. + +"Can I try them, mom?" she asked. + +"Sure, honey. But you have to be honest with me. Do they feel good on your feet?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded. She let her mom put the socks on her feet. They were soft and warm. They did not feel tight or itchy. Lily smiled. She felt a tickle in her toes. + +"Wow, mom. They are magic. I can feel them. Can I fly now?" she said. + +Her mom laughed. She hugged Lily and said, "Maybe not today, but you can always dream. And I'm proud of you for being honest and trying something new. You are a brave and smart girl." + +Lily hugged her mom back. She was happy. She liked her new socks. She decided to wear them every day. +One day, Tom saw a spider on his bed. He was scared of spiders. He screamed and ran to his mom. "Mom, mom, there is a spider on my bed! Help me!" he cried. + +Mom came to his room and looked at the spider. It was small and brown. It had eight legs and two eyes. It was not a bad spider. It was just looking for a place to live. Mom said, "Tom, this spider is not going to hurt you. It is just a little animal. It is not your enemy. It is your friend." + +Tom did not believe mom. He did not like spiders. He wanted mom to take it away. He said, "No, mom, I don't want it on my bed. It is ugly and scary. Please, take it away!" + +Mom sighed. She picked up the spider gently and put it in a jar. She said, "Tom, I will take the spider outside and let it go. But you should not be afraid of spiders. They are not evil. They are part of nature. They help us by eating bugs. They make beautiful webs. They are amazing creatures. You should respect them and be kind to them." + +Tom felt ashamed. He knew mom was right. He had been mean to the spider. He had not given it a chance. He had judged it by its looks. He had been rude and selfish. He said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I was mean to the spider. Can you forgive me?" + +Mom smiled. She hugged Tom and said, "Of course, I forgive you, Tom. You are a good boy. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. You said you are sorry. That is very brave and honest of you. I'm proud of you, Tom." + +Tom smiled too. He felt better. He said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I'm sorry, spider. I hope you find a nice home outside. Maybe I will see you again. And maybe we can be friends." +Tom and Anna like to play in the woods. They make a hut with sticks and leaves. They pretend they are hunters and explorers. One day, they find something shiny in the dirt. It is an axe. It is big and heavy and has a sharp edge. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. "We are lucky. We can use this to chop more sticks and make our hut bigger." + +Anna nods. She tries to lift the axe, but it is too hard. She drops it on the ground. It makes a loud noise. + +"Shh, be quiet!" Tom says. "Someone might hear us. Maybe this axe belongs to someone else. Maybe they are looking for it." + +Anna feels scared. She looks around. She sees a man walking towards them. He has a beard and a hat and a bag. He looks angry. + +"Hey, you kids!" the man shouts. "That's my axe! Give it back to me!" + +Tom and Anna run away. They leave the axe behind. They run to their hut and hide inside. They hope the man will not find them. They hug each other and whisper. + +"That was not a lucky axe," Anna says. "That was a bad axe. We should not touch things that are not ours." +
