Then he hung the hanger on the door. + +Anna clapped her hands and pointed to a pile of shirts. Dad said, "Let's sort them by size." He put the shirts into three piles. One pile was very small, one was medium, and the last one was larger. Anna smiled. + +Finally, Dad said, "You can help me with this last pile." He held up a necklace with a smooth stone. Anna took it from his hand and put it on the hanger. Then she smiled and said, "We sorted it all!" Dad smiled and said, "Yes, we did." +Mama and Daddy took Daisy to the park. Daisy wanted to play in the sand. The sand was cold and it made Daisy uncomfortable. She didn't want to play in the sand anymore. + +Mama and Daddy took Daisy to the swings.

She looked in the birdcage and saw two birds, with bright yellow feathers and a beak as red as a strawberry. The birds were singing sweet songs that made the little girl smile. + +The birds were very thirsty, so the girl filled their water bowl with fresh water. Then, the little girl cut up a lemon and put it in the bowl. When the birds ate it, their faces went sour. But the little girl just laughed and said “Now you can have something to keep your mouths dry!†+ +The little girl enjoyed playing with her two new friends every day. She was so happy that her birdcage wasn't empty anymore. +It was a dark and stormy night. Jenny and her mom were feeling scared. They were walking home, but then they heard a loud scream.

She was always very cheerful and she loved to tease the other birds. + +One day, while the blue bird was teasing some robins, a hunter came and saw her. He wanted to catch the blue bird so he hid in the bushes and waited. + +The blue bird was too busy teasing the robins to notice that the hunter was waiting to catch her. + +Finally the hunter had had enough and he took out his net.

He knew he would never forget the day he'd met the lively balloon. +John was a 3 year old boy. He had a big day at the office. He was very excited. He hung his coat on the peg when he arrived.

They were typing on their computers and talking on the phones. John hung his lunch bag on the desk chair and went to the front of the office.

He thought maybe they'd even get a surprise adventure. + +After they set out on their journey, they both noticed something strange. Every time they passed a number, something good happened. They passed a number 1 and it started to rain, which made the air cooler and more comfortable. When they passed a number 2, there were two birds singing in the trees. When they passed a number 3, there were three butterflies flying in the sky. + +The two brothers got to their destination safe and sound. They soon realized that the winding road was the better choice - it had numbers that had brought them good luck on the journey. + +The moral of the story is this: just because something looks different doesn't mean it won't be a good choice. Always be ready to explore and open your heart to new possibilities. +Once upon a time, two friends Sam and Jack were walking in the park. They were eager to play and explore the park. + +"Let's go over there," Sam said excitedly, pointing to a grassy area with a large cloth draped in the middle. + +"What is that cloth?"

Gary kept pouting and didn't give up the toy. + +Jake's mom saw what was happening and intervened. She sat them down and asked, "What is going on boys?". Jake explained that he had asked Gary to give him back his toy truck and Gary said no, still refusing to let go of it. + +Mom then explained that both sides needed to compromise. She said, "Jake you need to be less demanding and Gary you must not be so sour. Instead, you both can play together with the truck on one side and something else on the other side. That way, you can both share." + +The boys realized that Mom was right and agreed to share the truck. After that, they learned to be more understanding and happier with each other. + +The moral of the story is that sharing can bring more happiness than demanding and being sour. +Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Emily.

She decided to grab her parents’ gardening tools and went to sort all the stones she found in the garden. + +Emily started sorting the stones into two piles. In one pile she put the small stones, and in the other she put the big ones. The big stones were too heavy, so she only managed to sort a small amount. Then Emily had an idea. She brought out a big wheelbarrow from the shed. Now she could sort more stones because the wheelbarrow was wide enough to hold a lot of stones. + +At first Emily was excited about her new wheelbarrow, but it didn't take her long to get bored of sorting. She tried to make the sorting game more fun. She sang songs, she pretended the wheelbarrow was a race car and she even tried a little dance. But after a while it started to get dull. + +That was when Emily had an idea. She went back to the shed and grabbed an old paint set. She returned to the wheelbarrow and Painted some of the stones in different colors.

There was a loud bang and a puff of smoke that surrounded the box. Suddenly, a giant monster with big red eyes appeared! + +Patch was so scared she couldn't move. The monster growled and it seemed like it was about to attack. But happily, it flew away and Patch was safe. + +Or so she thought.

Lily started to say. + +"What have you done?" their mom shouted, as she saw the mess. "You broke the printer, and you wasted the cushion! Do you know how much they cost? How could you be so naughty?" + +Lily and Max felt very bad. They wished they had not played with the printer. They wished they had listened to their mom.

She asks her mom for some seeds and soil. + +"Here you go, Lily. You can start your flower garden today. But you have to be patient and take good care of them. They need water and sun to grow." Mom says. + +"Thank you, mom. I will be a good gardener. I will water them every day and put them in the window." Lily says. + +Lily fills the pot with soil and makes a small hole. She puts a seed in the hole and covers it with more soil. She waters the pot and puts it in the window. She is very excited to see her flower grow. + +Every day, Lily checks on her pot.

Tom and Sue cried. + +Their moms heard them and ran to the table. They saw the dog and the cake. They were very mad. + +"Tom and Sue, what did you do? You were very naughty. You took someone else's cake and made the dog angry. You could have been hurt. You have to say sorry and go home now," their moms said. + +Tom and Sue felt bad.

They ask an elderly lady who is walking by to help them. + +"Excuse me, miss, can you take a picture of us with our snowman?" Anna says. + +"Sure, dear, I can do that. Let me see your camera," the lady says. She takes the camera from Anna's hand. She looks at it and smiles. + +"Thank you, miss, you are very kind," Ben says. + +But the lady is not kind. She is mean. She runs away with the camera. She does not take a picture. She does not give the camera back. + +"Hey, stop, that's our camera!" Anna shouts. She and Ben chase the lady, but she is too fast.

She walked over to her and took the box from her. She opened it and saw the bracelet. "Lily, this is not yours. This is a very special gift from your grandma. You can't play with it. It could break or get lost," she said, sternly. + +Lily felt sad. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She just wanted to see the pretty bracelet. She looked down and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just liked it. It was purple, like my favorite color." + +Her mom sighed. She saw that Lily was sorry. She hugged her and said, "I know, sweetie. I like purple, too. But you have to ask me before you touch my jewelry, okay? Maybe someday, when you are older, I will give you some jewelry of your own. But for now, you can play with your own toys. How about we go and find your purple teddy bear?" + +Lily nodded. She felt better. She loved her purple teddy bear. She said, "Okay, mom. I love you." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "I love you, too, Lily. Come on, let's go." She took Lily's hand and they left the room. The purple box stayed on the dresser, waiting for another day. +Lily liked to perform for her family. She had a board with many colors and shapes. She could make pictures and stories with them. She wanted to show her mom and dad her new story. + +She called them to the living room. "Mom, dad, come see my story!" she said. "I made it with my board." + +Mom and dad came and sat on the couch. They smiled at Lily. "We are ready to see your story, Lily," mom said. "What is it about?" + +Lily put her board on the floor. She pointed at the shapes. "This is a normal day," she said. "This is me, this is you, this is dad. We are happy and we do fun things. We eat, we play, we read, we hug." + +She moved the shapes around. "But then, something happens," she said. "This is a big noise. It scares us. We run to the door. We see a big truck. It has a big hose. It sprays water everywhere. It is a fire truck!" + +She made a siren sound. "Wee-woo, wee-woo," she said. "The fire truck is here to help. There is a fire in the house next door. The firemen are brave. They put out the fire. They save the people and the pets. They are heroes." + +She clapped her hands. "The end," she said. "Did you like my story?" + +Mom and dad clapped too. They hugged Lily. "We loved your story, Lily," dad said. "You are very creative and smart. You performed very well." + +Lily smiled. She felt proud and happy. She liked to perform for her family. +Tim and Sue were playing in the park. They saw a big mug on a bench. It was red and shiny. They wanted to drink from it. + +"Can we have some?" Tim asked. + +"Let's see what's inside," Sue said. + +They ran to the bench and lifted the mug. But it was very heavy and hot. They dropped it and it broke. A lot of brown water spilled out. It smelled bad. + +"Uh-oh," Tim said. "We broke it. Someone will be angry." + +They heard a loud voice behind them. It was a man. He was tall and scary. He had a beard and a hat. He was the owner of the mug. + +"Hey, you little brats! What did you do to my mug? That was my coffee! It was very expensive and tasty. You owe me money!" + +He grabbed Tim and Sue by their arms. He dragged them to his car. He threw them in the back seat. He locked the doors. He started the engine. + +"Help! Help!" Tim and Sue cried. "Let us go! We're sorry!" + +But no one heard them. The man drove away. He took them to an unknown place. He was very mean. He did not give them food or water. He made them work for him. He never let them go. + +Tim and Sue were very sad and scared. They missed their mom and dad. They prayed every night. They hoped someone would find them. But no one did. They never saw their home again. +Sara liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to mix and stir and roll the dough. One day, mom was making a pie for dad. She told Sara to watch the pie in the oven and take it out when it was done. + +Sara nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will watch the pie." She sat on a chair and looked at the oven. She saw the pie getting brown and smelling good. She wanted to taste it. She thought, "Maybe I can have a little bite. Mom won't mind." + +She got up and opened the oven. She reached for the pie. But the pie was very hot. It burned her hand. She screamed and dropped the pie. The pie fell on the floor and broke. Sara started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. She saw Sara crying and the pie on the floor. She was very angry. She said, "Sara, what did you do? You ruined the pie! You were supposed to watch it, not touch it! You are a bad girl!" + +Sara felt very sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to taste the pie. It looked so good. I didn't mean to burn my hand and drop the pie. Please don't be mad at me." + +Mom sighed and hugged Sara. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Sara. I shouldn't have yelled at you. You are not a bad girl. You are a curious girl. But you have to be careful in the kitchen. The oven is very hot. It can hurt you and the food. Next time, wait for me to take out the pie. Then we can share it together. Okay?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I love you. And I love pie." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you, too, Sara. And I love pie, too. Let's clean up this mess and make a new pie. Maybe we can make it with apples. Do you like apples?" + +Sara said, "Yes, mom. I like apples. And I like helping you in the kitchen." + +Mom said, "And I like having you as my helper. You are a good girl, Sara. And a good helper." + +They hugged and kissed and started to make a new pie. + +The moral value of the story is: Be careful in the kitchen and listen to your mom. Don't touch things that are hot. If you make a mistake, say sorry and try again. Share your food and your love. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. The garden has many flowers and trees and bugs. Lily and Ben have a big ball. The ball is smooth and red. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing with the ball in the garden. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. They laugh and have fun. But then, the ball goes too far. It flies over the fence and lands in the street. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. "The ball is gone!" + +"Let's go get it!" Ben says. "But we have to hurry. The street is not safe." + +Lily and Ben run to the fence. They look for a hole to go through. They find a small hole near the ground. They crawl through the hole and get to the street. + +They see the ball on the other side of the street. But they also see a big car coming fast. The car is loud and scary. + +"Stop!" Lily says. "The car is coming!" + +Ben stops. He sees the car too. He is afraid. He holds Lily's hand. + +"What do we do?" Ben says. + +"We have to wait," Lily says. "We have to wait for the car to pass. Then we can get the ball." + +Lily and Ben wait. They hug each other. They hope the car will go away soon. + +The car passes. It makes a lot of noise. Lily and Ben cover their ears. They wait for the noise to stop. + +When the noise stops, they look again. The street is clear. The ball is still there. + +"Come on!" Lily says. "Let's get the ball!" + +Lily and Ben run to the ball. They pick it up. They are happy. They have their ball back. + +"Yay!" Ben says. "We did it!" + +They run back to the hole. They crawl through the hole and get to the garden. They are safe. + +They hug the ball. They hug each other. They smile. + +"Let's play with the ball in the garden," Lily says. "But not too close to the fence." + +"OK," Ben says. "The garden is better than the street." + +They play with the ball in the garden. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. They laugh and have fun. They love their ball. They love their garden. They love each other. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play outside in the sun. They had sunglasses to protect their eyes. Their sunglasses were light blue and light pink. + +One day, they saw a big sunflower in the garden. It was taller than them. They wondered how it grew so big. + +"Mom, how did the sunflower grow?" Tom asked. + +"Sunflowers need sun, water and soil to grow," Mom said. "They also have seeds inside. If you plant a seed, you can grow a new sunflower." + +"Can we plant a seed, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can," Mom said. "But you have to be patient. It takes time for a seed to grow." + +Mom gave them a small pot, some soil and a sunflower seed. Tom and Lily filled the pot with soil and made a hole. They put the seed in the hole and covered it. They watered the pot and put it in a sunny spot. + +"Will it grow soon, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"It will grow a little bit every day," Mom said. "But you have to wait and watch. It will be a surprise." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were excited to see their sunflower grow. They put on their sunglasses and smiled. They loved the sun and the sunflower. +Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play together at the park. One day, Tom had a new toy. It was a clock. It could make sounds and show numbers. Tom was very happy with his clock. + +"Look, Sue, this is my clock. It is fun. Do you want to try?" Tom said. + +"Yes, please. It looks cool. Can I hold it?" Sue said. + +Tom was thoughtful. He liked to share. He gave his clock to Sue. Sue smiled and thanked him. She held the clock and pressed the buttons. The clock made sounds and showed numbers. Sue was happy too. + +But then, a big boy came. He was mean. He saw the clock and wanted it. He ran to Sue and grabbed the clock. He pushed Sue and ran away. Sue fell and cried. Tom saw what happened and ran to Sue. He was angry and sad. + +"Hey, give it back! That is my clock! You are bad!" Tom shouted. + +But the big boy did not listen. He laughed and ran faster. He disappeared with the clock. Tom and Sue could not catch him. They lost the clock. They were very sad. + +They hugged each other and cried. They missed their clock. They wished they could have it back. They wished the big boy was nice. They wished they could play again. But they could not. They had no clock. They had no fun. They had a bad day. The end. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big black dog in the park. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. Ben and Lily ran to the dog and wanted to pet it. + +"Hello, doggy!" Ben said. "You are so soft and black!" + +"Can we play with you?" Lily asked. "You look like fun!" + +The dog barked and licked their faces. Ben and Lily laughed and hugged the dog. They threw a stick and the dog fetched it. They had a good time. + +But then, a man came and called the dog. The dog ran to the man and wagged its tail. The man had a leash and a collar. He put them on the dog and said, "Come on, Rex, let's go home." + +Ben and Lily were sad. They wanted to keep the dog. They ran to the man and said, "Please, can we have the dog? We love him!" + +The man smiled and said, "I'm sorry, kids, but this dog is mine. I adopted him from the shelter. He was lost and scared, but now he is happy and safe. He is my best friend." + +Ben and Lily looked at the dog. The dog looked at them and wagged his tail. He seemed to say, "Thank you for playing with me, but I have to go with my owner. He loves me too." + +Ben and Lily understood. They said, "Bye, Rex. We are happy for you. You have a good home and a good owner. Maybe we will see you again." + +The man said, "Bye, kids. You are very kind and sweet. You can play with Rex anytime you see him in the park. He likes you too." + +The man and the dog left. Ben and Lily waved goodbye. They felt a little sad, but also happy. They learned that some things are not theirs to keep, but they can still enjoy them and share them. They also learned that animals need love and care, and that they can be friends with them. + +They went back to their mom, who was waiting for them on a bench. She asked them, "Did you have fun, kids?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We played with a big black dog. He was very nice. He reminded us of our teddy bears, but he was alive." + +Mom smiled and said, "That sounds wonderful. I'm glad you met a new friend. But remember, kids, always ask before you touch a strange dog. Some dogs may not be friendly or may be scared. You have to be careful and respectful." + +Ben and Lily said, "OK, mom. We will remember. We love dogs, but we love you more." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too, kids. You are very good and smart. Now, let's go home and have some cookies." + +Ben and Lily smiled and said, "Yay, cookies!" + +They held mom's hand and walked home. They were happy. They had a good day. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the toys. One day, Anna finds a photo in a drawer. It is a photo of their mom and dad when they were young. They look happy and funny. + +"Look, Ben, this is mom and dad!" Anna says, showing the photo to Ben. + +Ben is busy with his train set. He does not look at the photo. He ignores Anna. + +"I don't care. I want to play with my train," Ben says. + +Anna feels sad. She thinks Ben is mean. She puts the photo on the table and goes to her dollhouse. She plays with her dolls and pretends they are her friends. + +After a while, mom comes to their room. She sees the photo on the table. She smiles and picks it up. + +"Wow, where did you find this photo?" mom asks. "This is from our wedding day. We were so young and happy. Do you like it?" + +Anna runs to mom and hugs her. She tells her how she found the photo and how Ben ignored her. + +Mom hugs Anna and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. Ben was not nice to you. Maybe he was too busy with his train. But you know what? He loves you very much. And so do I. And dad. We are a family. And this photo is a memory of our love." + +Mom puts the photo in a frame and hangs it on the wall. She says, "This is a very old photo. But it is also very modern. Because it shows that love never changes. Love is always new and beautiful." + +Anna smiles and says, "I love you, mom. And I love dad. And I love Ben. Even when he ignores me." + +Mom smiles and says, "I love you too, Anna. And I love dad. And I love Ben. Even when he ignores me." + +They hug and laugh. Ben hears them and comes to see what is going on. He sees the photo on the wall. He says, "Hey, that's mom and dad. They look funny. Can I see?" + +Mom says, "Of course, Ben. Come here. This is a photo of our wedding day. Do you like it?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, I like it. It's cool. Can I play with it?" + +Mom says, "No, Ben. You can't play with it. It's not a toy. It's a photo. It's fragile. You have to be careful with it." + +Ben says, "Oh, okay. I'm sorry. I didn't know. Can I look at it?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can look at it. But don't touch it. And don't ignore your sister. She found it for you. She wants to share it with you. She loves you." + +Ben looks at Anna and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to ignore you. I was just playing with my train. I love you too." + +Anna smiles and says, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben smiles and says, "Yes, I do. What do you want to play?" + +Anna says, "Let's play with our toys. And let's pretend we are mom and dad. And let's be happy and funny." + +Ben says, "Okay, let's do that. That sounds fun." + +They take their toys and go to their room. They play and pretend and laugh. Mom watches them and smiles. She is happy and proud. She loves her twins. And she loves her photo. And she loves her husband. And she loves her life. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that they could ride in. They liked to pretend they were driving to different places and having fun. + +One day, their mom said they had to share the car with their cousin Lily, who was coming to visit. Anna and Ben did not like this idea. They wanted the car for themselves. They thought Lily was too small and would break the car. + +When Lily arrived, she saw the big red car and smiled. She asked Anna and Ben if she could play with them. Anna and Ben said no. They said the car was theirs and Lily could not touch it. Lily felt sad and went to play with some other toys. + +Mom saw what happened and was not happy. She told Anna and Ben that they were being rude and selfish. She said they had many toys and the car was a luxury, not a need. She said they should be kind and share with Lily, who had fewer toys and was their guest. + +Anna and Ben felt bad. They realized they had hurt Lily's feelings and made mom angry. They regretted being mean to Lily. They decided to say sorry and invite her to play with the car. They hoped Lily would forgive them and have fun with them. +Lily liked to play with her toy animals. She had a big bear, a small cat, a yellow duck and a green snake. She gave them names and made them talk to each other. She pretended they were her friends. + +One day, Lily saw a real snake in the garden. It was black and shiny and had a red tongue. Lily thought it looked like her toy snake, but more fun. She wanted to play with it. She ran to the snake and picked it up. She did not know that the snake was not harmless. It was a venomous snake that could bite and hurt people. + +Lily brought the snake to her room. She put it on her bed and said, "Hello, snake. Do you want to play with me and my toys? This is bear, cat, duck and snake. They are nice. You can be their friend too." She reached for her toy snake and gave it to the real snake. + +The real snake did not like the toy snake. It felt threatened and angry. It opened its mouth and bit Lily's hand. Lily screamed and dropped the snake. She felt a sharp pain and saw blood on her hand. She was scared and cried. + +Her mom heard her scream and ran to her room. She saw the snake on the bed and Lily's hand bleeding. She was shocked and worried. She grabbed Lily and the snake and ran to the car. She drove to the hospital as fast as she could. She hoped Lily would be okay. She wished Lily had not brought the snake to her room. She wished Lily had played with her toy animals instead. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play near the lake. The lake was big and blue and had many fish and ducks. But their mom told them to be careful and not go too close to the water. + +One day, Tom and Sam found a big stick. They wanted to use it as a sword and pretend to be knights. They took turns to swing the stick and make noises. Tom was older and stronger than Sam. He did not like to yield the stick to Sam. He wanted to keep it for himself. + +"Give me the stick, Tom. It's my turn now," Sam said. + +"No, it's mine. You had it before. Go away, Sam," Tom said. + +He pushed Sam with the stick. Sam fell down and hit his head on a rock. He cried out loud. Tom was scared. He dropped the stick and ran away. He did not help Sam. + +Sam was hurt and bleeding. He tried to get up, but he was dizzy and weak. He crawled towards the lake, hoping to find some water to wash his wound. But he did not see the edge of the lake. He slipped and fell into the water. He could not swim. He sank and did not come up. + +Mom heard Sam's cry and came running. She saw the stick and the blood and the lake. She looked for her sons, but she only found Tom. He was hiding behind a tree, looking messy and guilty. He did not say anything. + +Mom was angry and sad. She knew what had happened. She screamed and cried. She had lost one of her sons. She wished Tom had yielded the stick to Sam. She wished Tom had been a good brother. She wished she had been there to save Sam. But it was too late. The lake had taken him away. +Sara and Tom are playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They make noises and pretend to drive around. Sara has a pink car and Tom has a blue car. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to the park!" Sara says. + +"Me too, me too!" Tom says. + +They stop at the gate and look at the street. They see real cars passing by. They are big and fast and loud. + +"Can we go to the park with our cars?" Sara asks. + +"No, we can't," Tom says. "We need a license to drive on the street." + +"What is a license?" Sara asks. + +"It's a card that says you can drive," Tom says. "You have to be big and learn a lot of things to get one." + +"Oh," Sara says. "That sounds hard." + +They look at the street again. They see a dog walking with a man. The dog is small and fluffy and has a collar. It barks and wags its tail. + +"Look, a dog!" Sara says. "Can we pet it?" + +"Maybe," Tom says. "But we have to ask the man first. Some dogs are not nice." + +They run to the gate and call the man. + +"Excuse me, sir, can we pet your dog?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, kids, you can," the man says. "His name is Spot and he is harmless. He likes to play and make friends." + +"Yay!" Sara and Tom say. + +They open the gate and go to the dog. They pet him and hug him and play with him. Spot licks their faces and makes them laugh. + +They forget about their cars and the park. They are happy with their new friend. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with many rocks. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill!" Tom said. He took Lily's hand and they ran to the hill. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. The rocks are hard and sharp," Lily said. She was a little scared of the hill. + +They started to climb the hill. They had to hold on to the rocks and find good places to put their feet. They looked around and saw the park, the trees, the birds and the sky. They felt mighty and happy. + +They were almost at the top of the hill when they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck that was driving on the road near the park. The truck was carrying many heavy things. The truck hit a bump and some of the heavy things fell off the truck. They rolled down the road and hit the hill. + +The hill shook and some of the rocks started to fall. Tom and Lily were scared and tried to hold on to each other. But the rocks were too big and too fast. They hit Tom and Lily and made them fall down the hill. They got hurt and cried. + +The truck driver did not see what happened. He kept driving and did not stop. No one came to help Tom and Lily. They were alone and sad on the hill. The end. +Lily and Sam are on the same team. They like to play soccer with their friends. They wear fancy shirts with red and blue colors. They have a big game today. They are very excited. + +The game starts and Lily and Sam run fast. They pass the ball to each other. They try to score a goal. The other team is good too. They block the ball and run the other way. Lily and Sam chase them. + +Lily sees a chance to get the ball. She runs faster and faster. She kicks the ball hard. The ball flies in the air. It goes towards the goal. Lily and Sam scream. They hope the ball goes in. + +The ball hits the post and bounces in. Lily and Sam score a goal. They scream louder. They are very happy. They hug each other. Their friends run to them. They cheer and clap. They are a good team. They have fun. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys, but they do not always share. Sometimes they fight over who gets the best toy. + +One day, they are in the bath. They have a big bottle of shampoo. It smells good and makes bubbles. Anna wants to use the shampoo first. She grabs the bottle and pours some on her hair. Ben wants to use the shampoo too. He tries to take the bottle from Anna. They pull and tug and splash. The shampoo spills on the floor. They both cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the bathroom. She sees the mess and the tears. She is not happy. She tells Anna and Ben to stop fighting. She says they need to share the shampoo and the toys. She says sharing is nice and makes everyone happy. She helps them wash their hair and clean the floor. She gives them a big towel to dry off. + +Anna and Ben hug Mom and say sorry. They look at each other and smile. They decide to share the shampoo and the toys. They say sharing is fun and makes them friends. They see their reflection in the mirror. They have bubbles on their heads and noses. They look adorable. They giggle and hug again. Mom smiles and says they are the best twins ever. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the shop with their mums. The shop has many toys. Lily sees a doll with a pink dress. She likes the doll very much. She asks her mum if she can have it. + +"Sorry, Lily, we don't have enough money for the doll today. Maybe another time," her mum says. + +Lily feels sad. She looks at Ben. Ben has a car with big wheels. He likes the car very much. He makes the car go vroom vroom on the floor. + +"Ben, can I borrow your car for a little bit?" Lily asks. + +"No, Lily, this is my car. You can't have it. Go find your own toy," Ben says. + +Lily feels angry. She thinks Ben is mean. She tries to grab the car from Ben. Ben pulls the car back. They start to fight over the car. + +"Stop it, both of you! You can't fight in the shop. That's not nice," their mums say. + +They take the car and the doll away from them. They make them say sorry to each other. They tell them to find another toy to play with. + +Lily and Ben look around the shop. They see many toys, but they all look dull. They don't want to play with them. They miss the doll and the car. They wish they could have them. + +They look at each other. They feel sorry for fighting. They decide to be friends again. + +"Lily, do you want to share my car with me?" Ben asks. + +"Ben, do you want to share my doll with me?" Lily asks. + +They nod and smile. They give each other a hug. They take turns playing with the car and the doll. They have fun together. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big bag on a bench. The bag is red and yellow and has a picture of a pepper on it. + +"Look, mom, a bag!" Tom says. + +"What is in the bag?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's see," Tom says. He runs to the bag and opens it. He sees many small bags inside. He takes one and opens it. He smells something spicy. + +"Wow, these are chips!" Tom says. He puts one in his mouth. He makes a funny face. "Ow, ow, ow! These are very spicy! They hurt my tongue!" + +Lily laughs. She thinks Tom is silly. She takes another bag and opens it. She sees many colorful candies. She likes candies. She puts one in her mouth. She smiles. "Mmm, these are sweet! They taste good!" + +Tom is angry. He wants a candy too. He pinches Lily's arm. "Give me a candy!" he says. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Don't pinch me!" Lily says. She cries. She drops the bag. + +Mom hears Lily cry. She comes to the bench. She sees the bag. She sees the chips and the candies. She is not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" mom says. "This is not your bag. This is someone else's bag. You should not take things that are not yours. That is wrong. And you should not pinch your sister. That is mean. Say sorry to Lily and put the bag back." + +Tom and Lily feel bad. They say sorry to each other. They put the bag back. They hug mom. Mom hugs them. + +"Let's go home," mom says. "I have some cookies for you. They are not spicy and not too sweet. They are just right." + +Tom and Lily nod. They hold mom's hand. They walk home. They learn a lesson. They are happy. +Lily and Sam were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then they heard a loud sound from outside. It was a big truck that was honking and beeping. + +"What is that?" Lily asked, feeling scared. + +"It's a truck, silly," Sam said, trying to act brave. "Maybe it's bringing something for us." + +They ran to the window and looked outside. They saw a big truck with a big box on it. The truck stopped in front of their house and a man got out. He opened the box and took out a big couch. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sam said. "It's a new couch for our living room. Maybe daddy bought it for us." + +They watched as the man and another man carried the couch into their house. They followed them and saw them put the couch in the living room. The couch was soft and fluffy and had a nice color. + +"Can we sit on it?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, why not?" the man said. "But be careful, it's new and clean." + +Lily and Sam climbed on the couch and felt how cozy it was. They smiled and hugged each other. + +"Daddy, daddy, look at our new couch!" they shouted when they saw their daddy come home from work. + +Daddy smiled and came over to them. He kissed them and sat down with them. + +"Hello, my loves," he said. "Do you like your new couch?" + +"Yes, daddy, we love it!" they said. "It's so soft and fluffy and nice." + +"I'm glad you like it," daddy said. "I bought it for us because our old couch was old and broken. I wanted us to have a nice place to relax and cuddle." + +"Thank you, daddy, you're the best!" they said. + +They snuggled with daddy on the couch and felt happy and safe. They settled on the couch and watched a movie together. It was easy to fall asleep on the new couch. They dreamed of happy things. +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Tim saw something move under a rock. He lifted the rock and found a lizard. The lizard was orange and had a long tail. + +"Look, Lily, I found a lizard!" Tim said. He picked up the lizard and ran to show Lily. + +Lily was scared of the lizard. She did not like its scaly skin and sharp teeth. She screamed and ran away. + +"Come back, Lily, it's just a lizard!" Tim said. He followed Lily with the lizard in his hand. + +Lily ran into the house and slammed the door. Tim knocked on the door and said, "Lily, please open the door. The lizard is not bad. It is just different." + +Lily heard Tim's voice and felt sorry. She opened the door and saw Tim and the lizard. Tim smiled and said, "Lily, this is my new friend. His name is Rex. He is orange and he likes to eat bugs. Do you want to pet him?" + +Lily was still scared, but she wanted to be brave. She reached out her hand and touched the lizard's head. The lizard blinked and licked her finger. Lily giggled and said, "He is soft and warm. He is not so bad after all." + +Tim and Lily became friends with Rex. They played with him in the garden and gave him some bugs to eat. They learned that different animals can be nice and fun. They learned to not judge by looks, but by heart. +Sara and Ben were playing with marbles on the floor. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes.

They were good friends and liked to share. + +But then, Sara saw a big red marble that Ben had. She wanted it very much. She reached out and grabbed it from his hand. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Ben said, feeling angry and sad. + +"Give it back!" he said, trying to get it from her. + +"No, it's mine now!" Sara said, holding it tight. + +They started to pull and tug on the marble. They did not hear their mom coming. + +"What are you doing?" mom asked, seeing them fight. + +"Sara took my marble!" Ben said. + +"No, it's mine!" Sara said. + +Mom looked at them and shook her head. She took the marble from them and put it on the table. + +"Listen, you two. Fighting is not nice. You have to be compassionate and kind to each other. Do you know what that means?" mom asked. + +They shook their heads. + +"It means you care about how the other person feels. You don't take their things or hurt them. You share and help them. You say sorry when you do something wrong. You wipe their tears when they are sad. You hug them when they are happy. That's what compassionate means." mom explained. + +Sara and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I should not have taken your marble." Sara said. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I should not have yelled at you." Ben said. + +They hugged each other and smiled. + +Mom smiled too. She gave them back the marble. + +"Here, you can play with it together. But remember, be compassionate, okay?" mom said. + +"Okay, mom. Thank you." Sara and Ben said. + +They took the marble and went back to the floor. They rolled it and made it hit the other marbles. They laughed and had fun.

It has many stickers and tools on it. Sam runs to the truck and looks at it. He sees a man in a blue suit. The man is a mechanic. He fixes cars and trucks. + +"Hello, little boy," the mechanic says. "Do you like my truck?" + +"Yes, I do," Sam says. "It is very colorful and cool. What do you do with it?" + +"I use it to help people who have broken cars and trucks. I have many tools and parts in my truck. I can change tires, fix engines, and paint doors. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, please," Sam says. He follows the mechanic to the back of the truck.

He also sees cans of paint, brushes, and stickers. + +"Wow, you have so many things," Sam says. "Can I try something?" + +"Sure, why not," the mechanic says. "How about you paint a paper plane and put a sticker on it? Then you can fly it in the park." + +"Okay," Sam says. He takes a sheet of paper and folds it into a plane. He chooses a red paint and a star sticker. He paints his plane red and puts the sticker on the wing. He waits for it to dry. + +"Good job," the mechanic says. "You are very creative. Do you want to fly your plane now?" + +"Yes, I do," Sam says. He thanks the mechanic and runs to the park. He throws his plane in the air and watches it fly. He is very happy.

When will you come back?" + +Lila's mom says, "We will come back in two weeks. It is not a long time. You can write letters to Ben and he can write to you." + +Lila and Ben nod.

They give each other their letters and hug again. + +Lila and her mom get in the car and drive away. Ben waves goodbye. He feels a tight knot in his chest. He wishes Lila was still here. He goes to the wheat field and sits down. He looks at the letter and the picture. He smiles a little. He knows Lila will come back soon. He knows they are still friends. He says to himself, "I miss you, Lila. But I will see you again." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun. + +But then, a big dog came out of nowhere and ran towards them. It barked loudly and showed its teeth. Lily and Tom were scared. They did not like the big dog. + +"Help!" Lily cried. "The dog is bad!" + +Tom grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her away from the dog. They ran to the bench where their mom was sitting. Tom pushed Lily behind his back and put his arms around her. He tried to be brave. + +"Mom!" Tom shouted. "The dog is chasing us!" + +Mom looked up and saw the big dog. She saw that it had a collar and a leash, but no owner. She stood up and waved her arms. + +"Go away, dog!" she yelled. "Leave my kids alone!" + +The big dog stopped and looked at Mom.

He hugged Lily and kissed her shoulder. + +"I love you, Lily," he said. + +"I love you, Tom," Lily said. + +Mom smiled. She was happy. The sky was clear and the sun was bright. The park was safe again. They could play with their ball. They were not in panic anymore. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, balls and blocks. But they did not like to share. They wanted to have all the toys for themselves. + +One day, their mom gave them a big box of stickers. They had many colors and shapes. They had animals, flowers, stars and letters. Ben and Lily liked the stickers very much. They wanted to stick them on their toys and on their clothes. + +But they did not share the stickers. They each took half of the box and said, "These are mine. You can't have them." They put a label on their half of the box with their name. They did not let the other one see or touch their stickers. + +Then it started to rain. The rain was very wet and cold. It made the garden muddy and the toys dirty. Ben and Lily ran inside the house with their boxes of stickers. But they did not close the boxes well. The rain got inside the boxes and made the stickers wet and sticky. + +When Ben and Lily opened their boxes, they saw that their stickers were ruined. They could not peel them off or stick them on anything. They were sad and angry. They cried and blamed each other. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the wet and sticky stickers and the labels on the boxes. She said, "You did not share your stickers. You were selfish and greedy. Now you have no stickers to play with. How do you feel?" + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We feel bad. We were not nice. We should have shared our stickers. We are sorry, mom." + +Their mom said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to learn to share. Sharing is caring. Sharing makes you happy and makes others happy. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "We understand. We want to share. We want to be happy and make others happy." + +Their mom smiled. She said, "That's good. I have a surprise for you. I have another box of stickers in the closet. They are dry and new. You can have them if you promise to share them with each other and with your friends." + +Ben and Lily were happy. They said, "Thank you, mom. We promise to share. We love you." + +They hugged their mom and took the box of stickers. They opened it and saw that it had more colors and shapes than the first box. They said, "Wow, these are beautiful.

They liked to climb trees, swing on vines and look for animals. One day, they saw a big lion sleeping under a bush. Lila wanted to get closer and see his teeth and fur. Sam was scared and said, "No, Lila, don't go. The lion might wake up and be angry. He might hurt us. We should mind him and leave him alone." + +But Lila did not listen to Sam. She said, "Don't be silly, Sam. The lion is sleeping. He won't mind us. I just want to look at him. He is so beautiful and strong." She walked slowly towards the lion, trying not to make any noise. Sam followed her, but he was very nervous. + +When Lila was very close to the lion, she reached out her hand to touch his mane. But the lion was not sleeping. He was just resting his eyes. He felt Lila's hand and opened his eyes. He saw Lila and Sam and roared loudly. He was not happy to see them. He thought they were trying to steal his food or his spot. He jumped up and chased them. + +Lila and Sam were very scared. They ran as fast as they could, but the lion was faster. He was almost catching them. They saw a big tree and climbed up.

They take turns to stir with the spoon. They mix and mix and mix. + +"Look, it is getting thick and smooth," Tom says. "It smells good." + +"Yes, it does," Anna says. "But we are not done yet. We need to bake it in the oven." + +They ask Mom for help. Mom puts the bowl in the oven. She sets the timer. She tells them to wait. + +"Can we lick the spoon?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, but only a little bit," Mom says. "And don't touch the oven. It is very hot." + +Tom and Anna lick the spoon. It tastes sweet and yummy.

Sometimes they made patterns or towers with the stones. + +One day, they decided to make a rainbow with the stones. They put red stones on one end, then orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. They were very proud of their rainbow. + +"Look, Mommy, we made a rainbow!" Ben said. + +Mommy smiled and said, "That's very pretty, Ben and Lily. Well done!" + +But then Lily had an idea. She wanted to make the rainbow bigger. She took some more stones from the bowl and added them to the rainbow. + +"Stop, Lily!" Ben said. "You are ruining the rainbow! It was perfect before!" + +"No, Ben!" Lily said. "I am making it better! It needs more stones!" + +Ben and Lily started to disagree. They pulled and pushed the stones, trying to make the rainbow their way. They shouted and cried. + +Mommy heard the noise and came back. She saw the rainbow was broken and the stones were scattered. She saw Ben and Lily were angry and sad. + +"Ben and Lily, what happened?" Mommy asked. + +"Ben and Lily disagree about the rainbow!" they both said. + +Mommy sighed and said, "I see. But you know, disagreeing is okay. Sometimes people have different ideas and opinions. That's normal. But you have to respect each other and listen to each other. You can't just fight and break things. That's not nice." + +Ben and Lily looked at each other and felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +"Can we fix the rainbow, Mommy?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, you can," Mommy said. "But this time, why don't you work together and share your ideas? Maybe you can make an even prettier rainbow." + +Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They took the stones from the floor and put them back in the bowl. Then they started to make a new rainbow, talking and helping each other.

Well done!" +Tommy liked to play with his toy soldiers. He had many of them, but his favorite was the red one. He always held the red soldier in his hand and made him fight the bad guys. He said the red soldier was his loyal friend. + +One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom. He brought his red soldier with him and put him in his pocket. He saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. He wanted to join them, but he was shy. He took out his red soldier and said, "You will come with me, right?" + +"Yes, Tommy, I will always be with you," the red soldier said in Tommy's imagination. + +Tommy walked towards the other kids, holding his red soldier. He saw a girl with long hair and a pink dress. She was playing with a doll. Tommy thought she was pretty. He said hello to her and showed her his red soldier. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. What's that?" she asked, pointing at the red soldier. + +"This is my loyal friend. He is a soldier. He can fight and protect me," Tommy said proudly. + +Lily looked at the red soldier and laughed. "That's not a friend. That's a silly toy. It's too small and ugly. My doll is much better. She is beautiful and can talk and sing," she said, holding her doll. + +Tommy felt angry and sad. He didn't like Lily. He thought she was mean and rude. He said, "No, you are wrong. My soldier is not silly or ugly. He is brave and strong. Your doll is boring and stupid. She can't do anything." + +Lily got angry too. She said, "No, you are wrong. My doll is not boring or stupid. She is fun and smart. Your soldier is nothing. Give it to me. I want to throw it away." + +She reached out her hand and tried to grab the red soldier from Tommy. Tommy held the red soldier tighter and pulled it away. He said, "No, you can't have him. He is mine. Go away." + +They started to tug and shout. The other kids stopped playing and watched them. Tommy's mom heard the noise and came over. She saw Tommy and Lily fighting over the red soldier. She said, "Stop it, both of you. What's going on here?" + +Tommy and Lily let go of the red soldier and looked at Tommy's mom. They both tried to explain their side of the story. Tommy's mom listened and said, "I understand that you both like your toys, but you can't be mean or greedy. You have to share and be nice. Why don't you try to play together and learn from each other?" + +Tommy and Lily looked at each other. They felt a little sorry for what they said and did. They said sorry to each other and agreed to play together. Tommy's mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now, why don't you show me your toys and tell me what they can do?" + +Tommy and Lily nodded and showed their toys to Tommy's mom. They told her about their names and stories. They also listened to each other and learned something new. They found out that they had some things in common and some things different. They decided to be friends and play more often. Tommy held his red soldier and said, "You see, loyal friend, you are not alone. You have me and Lily and her doll. We can all be friends and have fun." + +The red soldier smiled in Tommy's imagination and said, "Yes, Tommy, I see. You are a good boy and a good friend. I am happy for you and for me." +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and find shiny things. Sometimes they found rocks, sometimes they found coins, sometimes they found buttons. They called them minerals and put them in a bucket. + +One day, a big boy came to the park. He saw Tom and Lily's bucket and wanted to take it. He said, "Give me your minerals. They are mine now. They are not cheap, they are valuable." + +Tom and Lily were scared and angry. They said, "No, they are ours. We found them. You are mean and greedy. Go away." + +The big boy did not listen. He tried to grab the bucket, but Tom and Lily held on tight. They shouted, "Help, help, someone protect us!" + +A man who was walking his dog heard them and came to see what was wrong. He saw the big boy and said, "Hey, what are you doing? Leave those kids alone. They are not hurting you. Why are you trying to take their things?" + +The big boy was afraid of the man and his dog. He let go of the bucket and ran away. He said, "Fine, keep your cheap minerals. They are not worth it." + +Tom and Lily thanked the man and his dog. They said, "You are very kind and brave. You protected us and our minerals. We are very happy." + +The man smiled and said, "You are welcome. I'm glad you are safe and happy. Enjoy your minerals. They are not cheap, they are precious. They are your treasures." +Ben and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. Ben has a big truck and Lily has a doll. They are having fun making noises and pretending to drive and talk. + +"Look, Lily, my truck can weigh things!" Ben says. He puts his truck on the floor and puts a note on the back. The note says "I love you, Mom". He shows it to Lily. "See? The truck says how much the note weighs. It weighs one love!" + +Lily smiles and claps her hands. She thinks Ben is very clever. She wants to try too. She puts her doll on the truck and waits for the truck to say something. But the truck is silent. Lily frowns and looks at Ben. + +"Why doesn't the truck say how much my doll weighs?" she asks. + +Ben shrugs and looks at the doll. He smells something bad. He makes a face and holds his nose. + +"Maybe because your doll is smelly!" he says. He takes the doll off the truck and gives it back to Lily. "You need to wash your doll, Lily. She is dirty and stinky!" + +Lily feels sad and angry. She loves her doll and doesn't think she is smelly. She snatches the doll from Ben and hugs her. She glares at Ben and sticks out her tongue. + +"My doll is not smelly! You are smelly, Ben! And mean!" she says. She runs away to her room with her doll, leaving Ben alone with his truck. + +Ben feels sorry and confused. He didn't mean to hurt Lily's feelings. He just wanted to play with her. He looks at his truck and the note. He wishes he could say sorry to Lily and make her happy again. He thinks of an idea. He picks up his truck and the note and follows Lily to her room. He knocks on the door and waits for Lily to open it. He hopes she will forgive him and play with him again. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But they also liked to explore the woods behind the park. There were many trees, flowers and animals there. + +Mom said they could enter the woods, but only if they stayed close to her. She gave them each a twig to use as a wand. She said they could pretend to be wizards and witches, and make magic with their twigs. Ben and Lily were very happy. They waved their twigs and said funny words. + +They saw a big hole in a tree. Mom said it was a home for an owl. Ben and Lily wanted to see the owl. They peeked inside the hole, but it was too dark. They heard a hoot. They got scared and ran away. + +They saw a pile of rocks. Mom said it was a home for a snake. Ben and Lily wanted to see the snake. They lifted a rock, but it was too heavy. They heard a hiss. They got scared and ran away. + +They saw a cave.

Ben and Lily nodded. They liked the woods, but they liked mom more. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big book with many pictures and words. It is a quiz book. They want to try the quiz. + +"Look, Tom, this is a quiz about animals. Can you name this animal?" Lily asks, pointing to a picture of a cat. + +"Easy, it is a cat. Meow!" Tom says, rubbing the picture with his finger. + +"Good, Tom. How about this one?" Lily asks, pointing to a picture of a dog. + +"Dog. Woof!" Tom says, rubbing the picture again. + +They do the quiz for many pages. They know many animals. They are happy and smart. + +Then, they see a picture of a lion. It is big and yellow and has a mane. + +"What is this, Lily?" Tom asks, looking at the picture. + +"I don't know, Tom. It is not a cat or a dog. It is scary!" Lily says, hiding behind the book. + +"Don't be scared, Lily. It is a lion. It lives in the jungle. It roars!" Tom says, rubbing the picture bravely. + +"Wow, Tom, you are so smart. How do you know that?" Lily asks, peeking from behind the book. + +"My dad told me. He read me a story about lions. He is generous. He likes to share stories with me." Tom says, smiling. + +"That is nice, Tom. My mom is generous too. She likes to share cookies with me." Lily says, smiling back. + +They hug and share the book. They are good friends. They like to learn new things. They are happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys.

She called it Wooly. + +One day, Lily was playing with Wooly and her other toys in her room. She made a farm with the blocks, and put Wooly and the other animals in it. She pretended to be a farmer, and gave them food and water. She was having fun, until she heard a loud noise outside. She ran to the window and saw a big truck. The truck was open, and it had many boxes inside. Lily was curious. She wanted to see what was in the boxes. + +She left her room and went downstairs. She saw that the truck was parked in front of her house. She saw a man get out of the truck. He was wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He looked at the boxes and took one out.

She closed the door. + +Lily was still curious. She wanted to see what was in the box. She ran to the door and opened it. She saw the man take another box out of the truck. She saw that the truck was still open. She had an idea. She ran to the truck and climbed inside. She saw many boxes. She opened one of them. She saw a big teddy bear. She liked it. She opened another one. She saw a book. She liked it too. She opened another one. She saw a ball. She liked it a lot. She opened more and more boxes. She saw many things. She liked them all. + +She did not see the man come back to the truck. He did not see her inside. He closed the truck and got in the driver's seat. He started the engine and drove away. Lily was scared. She did not know where she was going. She did not want to leave her home and her mom and her toys. She wanted to go back. She screamed. She screamed very loud. She screamed for her mom. She screamed for Wooly. She screamed and screamed. But no one heard her. She was alone in the truck. She was very sad. She wished she had not been so curious. She wished she had stayed in her room and played with Wooly. She hugged the teddy bear and cried. She hoped someone would find her and take her home. She hoped she would see Wooly again. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to travel. They wanted to see many countries and learn new things. One day, they found a big map in the library. They pointed at a country that looked far away and said, "Let's go there!" + +They packed their bags and took a bus to the airport. They were very happy and excited. They showed their tickets to a man who said, "This is your plane. Have a good trip!" They got on the plane and sat in their seats. They looked out the window and saw the clouds. + +After a long time, the plane landed in the country they wanted to see. They got off the plane and walked to the gate. They saw a lot of people who looked different from them. They heard a lot of noises that sounded strange to them. They smelled a lot of things that made them feel sick. They said, "This country is very dirty!" + +They tried to find a taxi to take them to a hotel, but no one wanted to help them. They walked around the streets, but they felt lost and scared. They saw a lot of trash and rats and bugs. They said, "We want to go home!" + +They found a phone and called their parents. They cried and said, "Please come and get us! We don't like this country! It is very dirty and mean!" Their parents said, "We are sorry, but we can't come right now. You have to wait for the next plane. It will come in two days. Be careful and stay together!" + +Tom and Sue hung up the phone and hugged each other. They were very sad and sorry. They wished they never came to this country. They wished they stayed at home and played with their toys. They learned a hard lesson. Traveling is not always fun. +Lily and Anna were best friends. They liked to play in the park near their homes. One day, they saw a big pond with many ducks and fish. Lily wanted to feed the ducks, but Anna wanted to catch a fish. + +"Look, Anna, there is a big fish!" Lily said, pointing to the water. "Can you catch it for me?" + +Anna nodded. She took off her blouse and shoes and ran to the pond. She was not afraid of the water. She wanted to make Lily happy. + +She dived into the pond and swam after the fish. She reached out her hand and grabbed its tail. She was very proud. She wanted to show Lily her catch. + +But the fish was strong and slippery. It pulled Anna deeper into the water. Anna could not breathe. She tried to let go of the fish, but it was too late. She sank to the bottom of the pond. + +Lily saw Anna disappear. She screamed and cried. She ran to the edge of the pond and called for Anna. But Anna did not answer. She did not come back. + +Lily was very sad and scared. She did not know what to do. She wished she had not asked Anna to catch the fish. She wished Anna was still with her. + +A man heard Lily's scream and came to the park. He saw Lily crying and Anna's blouse and shoes on the grass. He understood what had happened. He called for help and tried to save Anna. But it was too late. Anna was gone. + +Lily and Anna were best friends. But now Anna was dead. Lily was alone and poor. She had lost her friend because of a fish. She wished she could dive into the pond and join Anna. But she could not. She had to live without her. She was very unhappy. The end. +Lily and Sam liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. But today, it was raining. The sky was gray and the drops were wet and cold. Lily and Sam did not like the rain. + +"Let's go home," Sam said. "I am cold and wet." + +"No, let's stay," Lily said. "I want to see the statue." + +The statue was a big stone man with a hat and a coat. He was holding a book and a stick. He looked very serious and important. Lily and Sam wondered who he was and what he did. + +They ran to the statue and looked at him. The rain was falling on his head and his coat. He did not move or blink. He did not seem to mind the rain. + +"Hello, statue," Lily said. "Are you not cold and wet?" + +The statue did not answer. He just stared at his book. + +"Maybe he likes the rain," Sam said. "Maybe he is reading a story about the rain." + +"Or maybe he is uncomfortable," Lily said. "Maybe he wants a hat and a coat like ours." + +Lily and Sam decided to help the statue. They took off their hats and coats and put them on the statue. They wrapped them around his head and his shoulders. They hoped he would feel warmer and happier. + +"Here you go, statue," Lily said. "Now you have a hat and a coat like us. Do you feel better?" + +The statue did not answer. He still looked serious and important. But Lily and Sam thought they saw a small smile on his face. + +They smiled back and hugged the statue. They felt happy and proud. They did not mind the rain anymore. They had made a new friend. +Tom is sick. He has a cough and a fever. He does not want to play or eat. His mom gives him a pill to make him feel better. She says the pill is medicine. + +Tom does not like the pill. It is big and bitter. He tries to spit it out, but his mom holds his mouth. She says he has to swallow the pill. She gives him some water to help him. + +Tom cries. He does not want the pill. He wants a hug and a story. He hears his dad come home. He hears his dad say hello to his mom. He hears his dad ask how Tom is. + +Tom's mom tells his dad that Tom is sick. She tells him that she gave him a pill. She tells him that Tom does not like the pill. She tells him that Tom needs some rest. + +Tom's dad comes to Tom's room. He sees Tom on his bed. He sees Tom's sad face. He gives Tom a hug and a kiss. He says he is sorry that Tom is sick. He says he loves Tom. He says he has a story for Tom. + +Tom smiles. He likes his dad's story. It is about a brave knight and a friendly dragon. He listens to his dad's voice. He feels his dad's hand. He forgets about the pill. He feels a little better. He says he loves his dad. He says he likes his story. He falls asleep. +Lily and Tom were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They ran after it and brought it back. + +One time, the ball rolled near a big tree. Lily ran to get it, but she did not see a branch hanging low. She was careless and did not look where she was going. The branch struck her head and made her cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said. "That hurt!" + +Tom heard her cry and ran to her. He saw blood on her hair and a bump on her head. He was scared and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "Are you okay?" + +Lily was still crying. She felt pain and anger. She blamed Tom for the accident. + +"It's your fault, Tom!" Lily said. "You threw the ball too hard and too far. You are a bad friend!" + +Tom felt hurt and sad. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He wanted to help her. + +"No, Lily, it's not my fault," Tom said. "You were careless and did not look where you were going. You are a mean friend!" + +They started to argue and shout at each other. They forgot about the ball and the game. They forgot about being friends. + +A lady who was walking her dog saw them and came to them. She saw Lily's wound and Tom's tears. She was kind and wise. + +"Children, children, stop fighting," the lady said. "You are both wrong and you are both right. Accidents happen, but they can be avoided if you are careful and watchful. And when accidents happen, you should not blame each other, but forgive each other. That's what friends do. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they were wrong and they were right. They nodded and said sorry to each other. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "You are not a bad friend. You are a good friend." + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "You are not a mean friend. You are a nice friend." + +They hugged and smiled. The lady smiled too. She helped Lily clean her wound and gave her a band-aid. She gave them both a candy and told them to be careful and friendly. They thanked her and said goodbye. + +They picked up the ball and went back to playing. They threw the ball to each other and caught it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They ran after it and brought it back. They were careful and watchful. They were happy and friendly. They were friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a cute dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red collar. + +"Look, a dog!" Lily says. "Can we go and pet it?" + +"OK, but we have to be careful," Tom says. "Maybe it has a owner." + +They go to the dog. The dog wags its tail. It likes Lily and Tom. They pet the dog and scratch its ears. + +"Hello, doggy," Lily says. "What is your name?" + +The dog barks. It sounds happy. + +"His name is Sauce," a voice says. Lily and Tom look up. They see a man. He is holding a leash. He smiles at them. + +"Hi, I'm Sauce's owner," the man says. "He is a friendly dog. He likes to play with kids." + +"Hi, I'm Lily and this is Tom," Lily says. "We like Sauce. He is very cute." + +"Thank you," the man says. "Do you want to play with Sauce for a while? I have to go to the store." + +"Yes, please," Tom says. "We love to play with Sauce." + +"OK, but don't go too far," the man says. "I'll be back soon." + +The man gives them the leash. He goes to the store. Lily and Tom play with Sauce. They run, jump, and roll on the grass. Sauce barks and licks their faces. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a new path in the park. It was narrow and twisty. It looked fun. + +"Let's go on the path!" Ben said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They ran on the path. They saw flowers and birds and bugs. They laughed and sang. They felt happy. + +But then, the path became dark and scary. There were thorns and spiders and snakes. They felt afraid. + +"Let's go back!" Lily said. + +"No, let's keep going!" Ben said. + +They argued. They did not listen to each other. They got lost. + +They cried and shouted. They felt sad. + +They wished they had stayed on the old path. They regretted going on the new path. + +Then, they heard a voice. + +"Hello, children. Do you need help?" It was a park ranger. He was kind and friendly. He had a flashlight and a map. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. + +The park ranger led them back to the old path. He taught them how to be safe and smart in the park. He told them to always stick together and follow the signs. + +Lily and Ben thanked him. They hugged each other. They felt sorry. + +They learned to be flexible and respectful. They promised to never fight again. + +They went back to their parents. They told them what happened. They apologized. + +Their parents forgave them. They hugged them. They felt proud. + +Lily and Ben were best friends again. They still liked to play in the park. But they never went on the new path again. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a big bucket to put the bugs in. + +"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Tom said, holding up a long, slimy thing. + +"Wow, let me see!" Lily said, reaching for the worm. + +But before she could touch it, something hissed and bit Tom's hand. It was a snake, hidden under a leaf. Tom screamed and dropped the worm and the snake. + +"Ow, ow, ow, it hurts!" Tom cried, holding his hand. + +Lily was scared. She wanted to help Tom, but she did not know what to do. She saw the snake slither away into the grass. + +"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked, hugging Tom. + +"No, Lily, I'm not okay. The snake was bad. It made me bleed. I need Mommy!" Tom said, sobbing. + +Lily tried to protect Tom. She ran to the house and called for Mommy. But Mommy was not home. She had gone to the store. Lily did not know how to use the phone. She did not know who to call. + +She ran back to Tom, but he was not moving. He was very pale and cold. Lily shook him, but he did not wake up. + +"Tom, Tom, please wake up!" Lily said, crying. + +But Tom did not wake up. He was gone. The snake had killed him. Lily was alone and sad. She wished Mommy was here. She wished the snake was gone. She wished Tom was alive. +Ben and Mia love to act. They like to pretend they are different animals and make noises and jump around. One day, they decide to act like kangaroos. They put on their big socks and hop on their feet. They make boing boing sounds and use their arms as tails. + +They hop around the living room and the kitchen. They hop over the sofa and the table. They hop to the window and look outside. They see a big truck on the street. It is loud and shiny. They wonder what it is doing. + +They hop to the door and open it. They want to see the truck better. They hop down the steps and onto the grass. They are very alert. They look left and right. They see no cars or people. They hop closer to the truck. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is calling them. She sounds angry and worried. She says, "Ben! Mia! Come back here! It is not safe to go outside alone! You could get hurt by the truck or by a stranger!" + +Ben and Mia stop hopping. They feel scared and sorry. They did not mean to make Mom mad. They did not know it was dangerous. They hop back to the door and into the house. They hug Mom and say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were acting like kangaroos. We wanted to see the truck. We did not think." + +Mom hugs them back and says, "I know, my little kangaroos. But you have to be careful. You have to listen to me. You have to stay inside unless I say you can go out. The truck is not for you. It is for the neighbors. They are moving away. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Mia nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will not act like kangaroo +It was a cold day. Anna and Ben wanted to play outside. They put on their hats, coats and boots. They said bye to Mom and went to the park. + +The park was white and shiny. Anna and Ben saw a big hill. They wanted to slide down the hill. They ran to the top of the hill. But the hill was very icy. Anna and Ben slipped and stumbled. They fell down the hill. They rolled and bumped. They laughed and screamed. + +At the bottom of the hill, they saw a phone. It was Mom's phone. She had dropped it when she walked them to the park. Anna picked up the phone. She pushed a button. She heard Mom's voice. + +"Hello? Hello? Anna? Ben? Is that you?" Mom said. + +"Hi, Mom!" Anna said. "We found your phone. We are at the park. We slid down the hill. It was fun!" + +"Oh, thank you, Anna! I was looking for my phone. I'm glad you are having fun. But be careful. The hill is very icy. You could get hurt. Can you come back home soon?" Mom said. + +"OK, Mom. We will come back soon. We love you. Bye!" Anna said. + +Anna and Ben put the phone in Anna's pocket. They held hands and walked back home. They were happy and warm. They hugged Mom and gave her the phone. Mom was happy and proud. She hugged them and gave them hot chocolate. They drank and smiled. They told Mom about their adventure. Mom listened and smiled. They had a good day. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big tent with many colors. They wanted to enter the tent and see what was inside. + +"Mom, can we go in the tent?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but be careful and stay together," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily entered the tent. They saw many shapes hanging from the ceiling. Some shapes were round, some were square, some were starry. They looked incredible. + +"Wow, look at all the shapes!" Lily said. + +"Let's touch them!" Tom said. + +They reached for the shapes, but they did not know that the shapes were not toys. They were traps. As soon as they touched the shapes, the shapes snapped and caught them. They were stuck and could not move. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily cried. + +But Mom did not hear them. She was talking to a friend outside the tent. She did not know that the tent was not a fun place. It was a bad place. It was a place where a mean man took children and sold them to other mean people. + +The mean man heard Tom and Lily's cries. He entered the tent and saw them. He smiled and said, "Ha ha, I got you! You are my new prizes. You will make me a lot of money." + +He took Tom and Lily and put them in a big bag. He left the tent and walked away. He did not care that Tom and Lily were scared and sad. He only cared about himself. + +Tom and Lily never saw their mom again. They never saw the park again. They never saw the sun again. They only saw the dark and the mean man's face. They wished they never entered the tent. They wished they never touched the shapes. They wished they listened to their mom. But it was too late. The end. +Ben had a big drum that he loved to play. He liked to make loud noises and rhythms with his drum. He played his drum every day, in the morning and in the afternoon and at night. + +One day, Ben's drum broke. He was very sad. He tried to fix his drum, but he could not. He cried and cried. He did not want to play with anything else. He missed his drum. + +His mom saw that he was sad. She hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Ben. We can heal your drum. We just need some glue and some tape and some paper. Do you want to help me?" + +Ben nodded. He wiped his tears and followed his mom. They went to the kitchen and found the things they needed. They worked together to heal his drum. They glued the paper over the hole and taped the edges. They waited for the glue to dry. + +Then, Ben tried his drum. It sounded good. He was very happy. He smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can I play my drum now?" + +His mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But not too loud, okay? We don't want to bother the neighbors." + +Ben agreed. He played his drum softly and happily. He felt jolly again. He loved his drum and his mom. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. They are happy. + +One day, Mom says they have to go home. It is time for lunch and nap. Lily and Ben do not want to go. They resist. They say, "No, no, no! We want to stay!" + +Mom is not happy. She says, "You have to listen to me. We can come back tomorrow. Now, pack your toys and come with me." + +Lily and Ben are sad. They do not like to leave the beach. They cry and whine. They drag their feet. + +Mom is patient. She says, "I know you love the beach, but you also need to eat and rest. You will have more fun if you are not hungry and tired. How about we sing a song on the way home?" + +Lily and Ben like to sing. They wipe their tears and nod. They pick up their toys and follow Mom. They sing their favorite song. They feel a little better. They still love the beach, but they also love Mom. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to sign to each other. Ben and Lily could not hear, but they could talk with their hands. + +One day, they saw a big truck in the park. The truck had a picture of ice-cream on it. Ben and Lily loved ice-cream. They signed to each other, "Let's go get some ice-cream!" + +They ran to the truck and waited in line. They saw many flavors of ice-cream. They wanted to try them all. They signed to each other, "What flavor do you want?" + +"I want chocolate," Ben signed. + +"I want strawberry," Lily signed. + +They smiled and nodded. They were playful and happy. + +But then, something bad happened. A big boy pushed them out of the line. He was mean and rude. He said, "Get out of my way, you dumb kids! You can't even talk!" + +Ben and Lily were scared and sad. They did not understand why the boy was so mean. They tried to sign to him, "Please, don't be mean. We just want some ice-cream." + +But the boy did not listen. He did not care. He laughed and said, "You can't have any ice-cream. You can't have anything. You are stupid and worthless!" + +He grabbed their ice-cream cones and threw them on the ground. He stepped on them and made a mess. He ran away, leaving Ben and Lily crying. + +Ben and Lily hugged each other. They felt hurt and angry. They did not get any ice-cream. They did not have any fun. They wished the boy would be nice. They wished the world would be nice. They wished they could hear. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Tom wanted to go first, but Lily was faster. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. + +"Move, Lily! I want to slide!" Tom shouted. + +"No, I go first!" Lily said. + +Tom was angry. He pushed Lily hard. Lily fell off the slide and hit the ground. She started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! You are a mean boy, Tom! You are a stupid witch!" Lily said. + +Tom felt bad. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He climbed down the ladder and went to Lily. He said he was sorry and gave her a hug. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm not a witch. I'm your friend. Can we play together?" Tom said. + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Tom and smiled. She said she was sorry too and gave him a hug. + +"OK, Tom. You are not a witch. You are my friend. Let's play together. But you have to wait your turn!" Lily said. + +They both laughed and went to the slide. They took turns and had fun. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But their favorite thing was to climb the big tree near the pond. + +One day, they saw a rope hanging from a branch of the tree. It looked like a swing, but it was very high and long. Lily and Tom wanted to try it, but they were a little scared. + +"Who put this rope here?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone else wanted to swing too," Tom said. + +"Can we borrow it for a while?" Lily wondered. + +"Maybe. But we have to be careful. It looks very high and fast," Tom warned. + +They looked around, but they did not see anyone else in the park. They decided to borrow the rope for a while. They took turns to hold the rope and jump from the tree. They felt like they were flying in the air. They laughed and shouted with joy. + +They had so much fun that they did not notice the time. They did not see the man who came to the park with a big bag. He was the owner of the rope. He had brought it to the park to practice his circus tricks. He was not an ordinary man. He was a clown. + +He saw Lily and Tom swinging on his rope. He was not angry. He was amused. He smiled and walked towards them. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you like my rope?" he asked. + +Lily and Tom stopped swinging. They were surprised to see the clown. He had a funny face, a red nose, a big hat and colorful clothes. + +"Hello, sir. We are sorry. We borrowed your rope for a while. We did not know it was yours," Lily said. + +"That's all right. I don't mind. You can borrow it for a little longer. But then you have to let me show you some of my tricks. Do you want to see them?" the clown asked. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They were curious and excited. They wanted to see what the clown could do with his rope. + +They followed him to a clearing in the park. There, he took out his bag and showed them his tricks. He swung on the rope, he jumped over it, he twisted it, he tied it, he untied it. He made them laugh and clap with his jokes and his skills. + +Lily and Tom had a wonderful time with the clown. They learned some new things about the rope. They thanked him for letting them borrow it and for showing them his tricks. They said goodbye and went home. + +They never forgot that day. They never saw the clown again. But they always remembered him and his rope. They always thought that sometimes, the most ordinary things can become the most extraordinary. +Anna was an adventurous girl. She liked to climb trees, jump in puddles and explore new places. She had a big party for her birthday. She invited all her friends from the park and the kindergarten. She was very happy. + +But then, something bad happened. She saw a big cake on the table. It had pink frosting and sprinkles. It looked very yummy. She wanted to have a bite. She did not wait for her mom to cut it. She reached for the cake with her hand. + +"Ouch!" she cried. She felt a sharp pain in her finger. She had touched a candle. The candle was hot and burned her. She started to cry. She suffered a lot. + +Her mom heard her cry and ran to her. She took her hand and blew on it. She put a band-aid on it. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. You hurt yourself. You have to be careful with candles. They are not for touching.

They wish they could watch the film. They wish Mom was not so mad. They wish they had a gentle and friendly dog of their own. +Lily was sad. She had a big ouch on her arm. She fell from the swing and it hurt a lot. Mom took her to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He said he needed to see inside her arm. He used a machine that made a picture of her bones. He called it an x-ray. + +"Look, Lily, this is your x-ray," the doctor said, showing her a paper with white and black shapes. "See, this bone is broken. That's why it hurts. But don't worry, I can fix it." + +The doctor put a white thing on her arm. He said it was a cast. It would help her bone heal. He said she had to wear it for a few weeks.

What is her name?" + +"You can name her whatever you want," Mom said. "She is your new friend. She will keep you company while your arm gets better." + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I will name her Daisy. She is my best friend. We have the same ouch, but we are both glad. We have each other." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I'm glad, too, Lily. I love you very much." + +Lily said, "I love you, too, Mom. And I love Daisy." + +She hugged Mom and Daisy. She felt happy. She forgot about her ouch. She wanted to play with Daisy.

Then you can both run and jump and swing again." + +Lily said, "Yay! That will be fun. But for now, we will play with our stickers and lollipops. Right, Daisy?" + +Daisy nodded. She said, "Right, Lily. We are the best friends ever." + +The end. +Jill and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Jill was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Jill counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Ben, but she could not see him. She saw a big tree with thick branches and leaves. Maybe Ben was hiding behind the tree, she thought. + +She ran to the tree and peeked behind it. She saw a veil hanging from a branch. It was white and shiny and had flowers on it. Jill thought it was pretty and wanted to touch it. She reached out her hand and pulled the veil. But it was not a veil. It was a beehive! + +The bees were angry that Jill disturbed their home.

She was surprised and worried. She called for help and took them to a bench. She gave them some water and put ice on their stings. She waited for the ambulance to come and take them to the hospital. + +Jill and Ben learned a hard lesson. They should not touch things that they do not know. They should be careful when they play in the park. They had a bad day and a bad ending. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a dog. The dog is big and brown. It has a vest on. The vest is red and says "help". + +"Look, a help dog!" Tim says. "Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Jen says. "Maybe we should ask first." + +They go near the dog. The dog wags its tail. It looks happy. A man is with the dog. The man has a stick. He uses the stick to walk. + +"Hello," the man says. "Do you like my dog? His name is Max." + +"Hi," Tim and Jen say. "We like your dog. He is very nice. Can we pet him?" + +"Sure, you can pet him. He likes children. He is very kind. But you have to mind his vest. It means he is a help dog. He helps me when I can't see well." + +"What does he do?" Jen asks. + +"He guides me. He tells me when to stop and when to go. He keeps me safe. He is very smart." + +"Wow, that is amazing!" Tim says. "He is a very good dog." + +"Yes, he is. He is my best friend. Do you want to hear a story about him?" + +"Yes, please!" Tim and Jen say. + +The man smiles. He sits on a bench. Tim and Jen sit next to him. Max lies down at his feet. The man tells them a story about how he met Max and how they became friends. Tim and Jen listen and ask questions. They learn a lot about help dogs. They are very happy. They thank the man and Max for the story. They give them a hug. They say goodbye. They go back to play. They think Max is the best dog ever. They hope to see him again. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a spray bottle and a hose. They liked to spray water on the flowers and on each other. + +"Look, Anna, I can make a rainbow!" Ben said. He held the hose up to the sun and sprayed water in the air. Anna saw the colors and smiled. + +"Wow, that's pretty!" she said. "Can I try?" + +Ben gave her the hose and she sprayed water too. They laughed and ran around the garden. + +Then they saw something unusual in the sky. It was a star, but it was not night. It was bright and shiny and moved very fast. + +"Look, Ben, a star!" Anna said. She pointed to the sky. + +"A star? In the day?" Ben said. He looked up and saw the star too. "That's strange. Maybe it's a special star." + +"Maybe it's a wishing star," Anna said. "Do you want to make a wish?" + +Ben nodded. He closed his eyes and thought hard. He wished for a new bike. Anna closed her eyes and thought hard too. She wished for a puppy. + +They opened their eyes and watched the star. It flew across the sky and then disappeared. + +"Did you make a wish?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, I did. Did you?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I did. I hope our wishes come true," Anna said. + +"Me too," Ben said. They hugged and went back to playing with the water. They hoped the star would come back someday. +Sara loves to draw. She has many colors and papers. She draws animals, flowers, stars and more. She likes to show her drawings to her mom and dad. They always say, "Wow, Sara, you are very good at drawing. You are impressive!" + +One day, Sara has a new friend. His name is Ben. He comes to play with Sara at her house. Sara shows him her drawings. Ben likes them too. He says, "Sara, can you teach me how to draw? I want to learn from you. You are impressive!" + +Sara is happy. She says, "Yes, Ben, I can teach you. But I have a secret. Do you want to know my secret?" + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, Sara, I want to know your secret. What is it?" + +Sara whispers in his ear. She says, "My secret is that I draw with my heart. I think of what I love and what makes me happy. Then I draw it with my colors. That is how I draw. Do you want to try?" + +Ben smiles. He says, "Yes, Sara, I want to try. Thank you for sharing your secret with me. You are a good friend. And you are impressive!" +Lily and Tom were at the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They liked to guess what the animals were saying to each other. + +"Look, Tom, those birds are in a cage," Lily said. "Why are they in a cage?" + +"Maybe they are not strong enough to fly away," Tom said. "Or maybe they like the cage. It has food and water and toys." + +Lily shook her head. "No, Tom, I think they are sad. They want to be free and see the sky and the trees. They want to sing and play with other birds." + +"How do you know that, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"I can see it in their eyes, Tom. They are not happy. They are bored and lonely. They are trapped," Lily said. + +Tom felt sorry for the birds. He wished he could help them. He looked around and saw a zookeeper nearby. He had an idea. + +"Excuse me, sir," Tom said to the zookeeper. "Can you please open the cage and let the birds out? They are not happy in there. They want to fly and be free." + +The zookeeper smiled at Tom. He was surprised by his request. + +"I'm sorry, little boy, but I can't do that," he said. "The birds are here for a reason. They are very special and rare. They need our care and protection. If we let them out, they might get hurt or lost or eaten by other animals. They are safer and happier in the cage." + +Tom did not believe him. He thought the zookeeper was wrong. He looked at Lily and saw that she was sad too. He wished he could make her smile. + +"Maybe we can make the birds happy in another way," he said. "Maybe we can sing to them or give them some seeds or make them some friends. What do you think, Lily?" + +Lily nodded. She liked Tom's idea. She thought it was kind and smart. She smiled at Tom and hugged him. + +"Let's try, Tom," she said. "Maybe the birds will like us and talk to us. Maybe they will guess what we are saying too." +Anna liked to play with her model cars. She had many cars of different colors and sizes. She made them zoom and beep on the floor. She pretended they were going to the park, the store, or the zoo. + +One day, she saw a big car outside her window. It was red and shiny. It looked like one of her model cars, but much bigger. She wanted to see it closer. She ran to the door and put on her shoes. She told her mom she was going to look at the car. + +Her mom said, "OK, but be careful. Don't touch the car. It belongs to someone else. And don't go too far. I will watch you from the window." + +Anna nodded and went outside. She walked to the car and looked at it. It had four doors, four wheels, and a big trunk. It had a silver star on the front. Anna thought it was very pretty. She wanted to touch it, but she remembered what her mom said. + +She walked around the car and saw the driver's seat. It had a steering wheel, a dashboard, and a mirror. Anna wondered what it was like to drive the car. She wished she could sit in the seat and turn the wheel. She thought it would be fun. + +She looked at the door. It was not locked. She opened it and climbed in. She sat in the seat and put her hands on the wheel. She felt very big and happy. She looked at the mirror and saw herself. She smiled and said, "Vroom, vroom!" + +She did not see the man who came out of the house. He was the owner of the car. He saw Anna in his car and got angry. He shouted, "Hey, what are you doing in my car? Get out of there right now!" + +Anna heard the man and got scared. She did not know what to do. She felt very small and helpless. She looked at the window and saw her mom. Her mom saw her and got worried. She ran to the car and said, "Anna, what are you doing? Come out of there!" + +Anna pointed at the man and said, "He is mad at me. I just wanted to see the car. I'm sorry." + +Her mom said, "It's OK, Anna. You made a mistake. You should not go in other people's cars without asking. It is not polite. It is not safe. Come out and say sorry to the man." + +Anna got out of the car and said sorry to the man. The man said, "It's OK, kid. Just don't do it again. And be careful. Cars are not toys. They can be dangerous." + +Anna said, "OK, sir. I understand. I have my own model cars. They are not dangerous. They are fun." + +She took her mom's hand and went back to the house. She played with her model cars and learned a lesson. She never went in other people's cars again. She was happy with her own cars. They were enough for her. +Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a yummy cake for Mom. They found some eggs, some flour, some sugar and some milk. They put them in a big bowl and mixed them with a whip. + +"Look, Sara, we are making a cake!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, Mom will be so happy!" Sara said. + +They poured the cake mix into a pan and put it in the oven. They did not remember to ask Mom or Dad for help. They did not remember to set the timer or check the heat. They went to play with their toys in the living room. + +After a while, they smelled something bad. They ran to the kitchen and saw smoke coming out of the oven. The cake was burned and black. The oven was very hot and made a loud noise. + +"Uh-oh, Sara, we made a big mess!" Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, Mom will be so mad!" Sara said. + +They heard Mom and Dad coming home. They were scared and hid under the table. Mom and Dad saw the smoke and the mess and opened the oven. They were very angry and sad. + +"Sara, Tom, what did you do?" Mom said. + +"We wanted to make a yummy cake for you, Mom, but we forgot to ask for help and we forgot to watch the oven!" Sara said. + +"That was very naughty and dangerous, Sara and Tom! You could have started a fire or hurt yourselves! You are not allowed to use the oven or the whip without us! You are in big trouble!" Dad said. + +Mom and Dad took Sara and Tom to their room and gave them a time-out. They did not get any cake or any dessert. They had to say sorry and clean up the kitchen. They felt very bad and wished they had remembered to follow the rules. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Lila wants to go first. She runs to the slide and grabs the handle. She is not afraid. + +"Wait for me!" Ben says. He follows Lila. He is a little scared. The slide is very high and fast. + +Lila slides down. She laughs and shouts. "This is fun!" She lands on the grass. She looks up and sees Ben. He is still at the top of the slide. He holds the handle very tight. He does not move. + +"Come on, Ben!" Lila says. "You can do it! It is not hard!" + +Ben looks at Lila. He wants to slide, but he is nervous. He thinks the slide is too tough for him. He shakes his head. "No, I can't. It is too fast. I will fall." + +Lila gets up and runs to the slide. She climbs the steps. She reaches Ben. She smiles at him. "Don't worry, Ben. I will help you. We can slide together. It will be fun!" + +She wraps her arms around Ben. She holds him close. She says, "Ready, set, go!" She pushes them off the slide. They slide down. They feel the wind and the sun. They laugh and shout. They land on the grass. They hug each other. + +"Wow, that was fun!" Ben says. He is not scared anymore. He is happy. + +"Yes, it was!" Lila says. She is proud of Ben. He is brave. + +They look at the slide. They want to go again. They run to the slide and grab the handle. They slide down. They have fun. They are friends. +Sara and Ben like to sort stuff. They have a big box of toys and they sort them by color, shape and size. Sara likes to sort the red toys, Ben likes to sort the blue toys. They have fun sorting stuff together. + +One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a yellow pepper. Sara picks it up and says, "Look, Ben, a yellow toy. It is round and smooth. I like it." She puts it in her pile of red toys. + +Ben says, "No, Sara, that is not a toy. That is a pepper. It is spicy. It can make your mouth hurt. You should not play with it." He tries to take it from Sara. + +Sara says, "No, Ben, it is my toy. I found it first. It is not spicy. It is pretty. You have many blue toys. Let me have this one." She holds the pepper tight. + +Ben says, "Sara, please, listen to me. It is not a good toy. It is food. Mommy uses it to cook. It has seeds inside. It can make you cry. Give it to me. I will show you." He pulls the pepper from Sara. + +Sara and Ben both hear a loud pop. The pepper breaks in half. Seeds fly everywhere. Sara and Ben both get some seeds in their eyes and mouths. They feel a burning pain. They start to cry. + +Mommy hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the pepper, the seeds and the toys. She says, "Oh, no, Sara and Ben, what have you done? That is not a toy. That is a spicy pepper. It can hurt you. You should not sort it with your toys. You should sort it with the food. I am sorry. Let me help you." She takes them to the bathroom and washes their eyes and mouths. She gives them some water and some ice cream to cool them down. + +Sara and Ben feel better. They say, "Thank you, Mommy. We are sorry. We did not know. We will not sort peppers with our toys again. We will sort them with the food." + +Mommy says, "That's good, Sara and Ben. I am glad you are okay. You can sort your toys again, but be careful. Only sort the toys that are safe and fun. And if you find something new, ask me first. I will tell you what it is and where it belongs." + +Sara and Ben say, "Okay, Mommy. We will. We love you." + +Mommy says, "I love you too, Sara and Ben. Now, let's go and clean up the mess." +Tom and Lily liked to play in the old house. It was big and dark and had many rooms to explore. One day, they found a door that was locked. They wanted to see what was inside. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. + +They saw a window next to the door. It was dusty and cracked. Tom had an idea. He picked up a stick and said, "I can snap the window and we can go in." Lily was eager to see what was inside. She nodded and said, "OK, let's do it." + +Tom swung the stick and hit the window. It made a loud noise and broke into pieces. Tom and Lily climbed through the hole and entered the room. It was dark and cold and smelled bad. They saw a big bed with a blanket on it. They walked to the bed and pulled the blanket. + +They screamed. Under the blanket, there was a skeleton. It had no skin, no hair, no eyes. It had only bones. It looked scary and old. Tom and Lily ran out of the room and out of the house. They never played in the old house again. +Lily was a little squirrel who loved to collect acorns. She had a big pile of acorns in her nest, and she was very proud of it. One day, she saw a shiny acorn on the ground. She ran to get it, but she did not see the big rock in her way. She tripped over the rock and fell on her face. The shiny acorn rolled away. + +"Ouch!" Lily cried. She felt a pain in her nose and a tear in her eye. She also felt very embarrassed. She looked around and saw that other animals were watching her. They were laughing at her. She heard a voice say, "Look at Lily, she is so clumsy! She can't even move without falling!" + +Lily felt very sad and angry. She wanted to hide in her nest and never come out. She did not like the voice that made fun of her. She looked up and saw that it was Rocky, a mean raccoon. Rocky always teased and bullied other animals. He thought he was better than everyone else. + +Lily decided that she would not let Rocky hurt her feelings. She stood up and wiped her nose and her eye. She saw that the shiny acorn was still nearby. She ran to get it, but this time she was careful to avoid the rock. She picked up the acorn and held it in her paws. She smiled and said, "This is my acorn, Rocky. You can't have it. You can't have anything, because you are mean and rude. You should be embarrassed, not me." + +Lily turned around and ran back to her nest. She added the shiny acorn to her pile. She felt happy and proud. She did not care what Rocky said. She knew that she was a good and smart squirrel. She also knew that she had many friends who liked her and helped her. She moved on and forgot about the bad day. She hoped that Rocky would learn to be nice and make friends too. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud noise outside. It was thunder. They were scared. + +"Mommy, what is that?" Lily asked. + +"That is thunder, my dear. It is when the sky makes a big sound. Sometimes it comes with rain and lightning. But don't worry, we are safe inside the house," Mommy said. + +"Can we order pizza for dinner, Mommy?" Ben asked. He liked pizza very much. + +"Sure, we can order pizza. What kind do you want?" Mommy asked. + +"I want cheese pizza. And Lily wants pepperoni pizza," Ben said. + +"Okay, I will order cheese pizza and pepperoni pizza. And maybe some salad and juice too. How does that sound?" Mommy said. + +"That sounds yummy, Mommy. Thank you," Lily and Ben said. + +They hugged Mommy and went back to their toys. They were not scared of the thunder anymore. They were happy and hungry. They waited for the pizza to arrive. They hoped it would be soon. +Sam and Jen are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to be cowboys and cowgirls. They have hats, boots and whips. They ride their bikes and make horse sounds. + +"Look, Jen, a mail truck!" Sam says. He sees a big truck with letters and boxes. He has an idea. "Let's mail a whip to Mom. She will be surprised!" + +"OK, Sam, that sounds fun!" Jen says. She likes to surprise Mom too. They take one whip and put it in a big box. They write Mom's name and address on the box. They wait for the mail truck to stop. + +"Hello, kids, do you have something to mail?" the mailman asks. He sees the box and smiles. He takes the box and puts it in the truck. "Thank you, kids, have a nice day!" + +"Bye, mailman, thank you!" Sam and Jen say. They wave and smile. They are happy. They think they are successful cowboys and cowgirls. They mail a whip to Mom. They can't wait to see her face when she opens the box. They hope she will like it. They think it is a good gift. They ride their bikes and make horse sounds. They have fun. +Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new things. She wanted to help her mom serve dinner to the family. She asked her mom if she could carry the big bowl of salad to the table. + +"Be careful, Lily. The bowl is heavy and the salad might fall out," her mom said. + +Lily nodded and lifted the bowl with both hands. She walked slowly to the table, where her dad and her brother were waiting. She felt proud and happy. + +But when she reached the table, she saw a big spider on the edge. She was scared of spiders and screamed. She dropped the bowl and the salad went everywhere. The spider ran away. + +"Oh no, Lily! What happened?" her mom asked, running to her. + +"I saw a spider, mom. It was big and hairy and scary," Lily said, crying. + +Her dad and her brother looked at the mess and tried not to laugh. They hugged Lily and told her it was okay. + +"Spiders are not so bad, Lily. They are just small animals that like to spin webs. They won't hurt you," her dad said. + +"Maybe you can be adventurous and learn more about spiders. They are very interesting and smart," her brother said. + +Lily sniffed and wiped her tears. She looked at the spider, which was hiding under the table. She felt a little curious. + +"Maybe I can, but not now. I'm sorry I ruined the salad, mom," she said. + +"It's okay, Lily. We can make another one. You were very brave and helpful to try to serve dinner. I love you," her mom said. + +They all smiled and hugged. They cleaned up the salad and made a new one. They had a nice dinner and talked about spiders and other things. Lily decided she would be more adventurous and learn more about spiders, but only after she served dinner. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the lake with their mom and dad. They saw some ducks and fish in the water. They wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Can we go closer, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Only if you hold my hand and be alert," mom said. "The lake is deep and you might fall in." + +Ben and Lily nodded and took mom's hand. They walked to the edge of the lake and threw some bread to the ducks and fish. They were happy to see them eat. + +But then, Lily saw a pretty flower on the other side of the lake. She let go of mom's hand and ran to get it. + +"Lily, stop!" mom shouted. "It's not safe!" + +But Lily did not listen. She wanted the flower. She did not see the big rock in her way. She tripped over it and fell into the lake. + +"Help!" Lily cried. "I can't swim!" + +Ben heard his sister's scream. He was scared, but he wanted to help her. He saw a rope near the lake. He quickly tied one end to a tree and threw the other end to Lily. + +"Grab the rope, Lily!" Ben said. "I'll pull you out!" + +Lily grabbed the rope and Ben pulled with all his might. He managed to get Lily out of the lake. She was wet and cold and scared. + +Mom and dad ran to them and hugged them. They were glad they were safe. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said. "I was not alert. I was silly." + +"It's okay, Lily," mom said. "You learned your lesson. And you're lucky to have a brave brother who tied the rope and saved you." + +Ben and Lily hugged each other. They learned to be alert and to help each other. They thanked the rope and the tree and the ducks and the fish. They went home with their mom and dad. They were happy. +Lily was hungry and wanted a snack. She went to the kitchen and looked for the cupboard where Mommy kept the cookies. She saw a big jar on the top shelf, but it was too high for her to reach. She tried to climb on a chair, but it was wobbly and she fell down. She hurt her knee and started to cry. + +Mommy heard Lily's cry and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the floor, holding her knee and sobbing. She picked her up and hugged her. "What happened, sweetie?" she asked. + +"I wanted a cookie, but the jar was too high and I fell down," Lily said between tears. + +Mommy kissed her knee and said, "I'm sorry, honey. You should have asked me for help. The jar is too heavy and dangerous for you to get by yourself. Here, let me get you a cookie and some milk." + +She put Lily on the counter and opened the jar. She took out a thick, chocolate chip cookie and gave it to Lily. She poured some milk in a cup and handed it to her. "There you go, my love. Enjoy your snack and be careful next time, okay?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She took a big bite of the cookie and sipped the milk. She felt better and said, "Thank you, Mommy. You are the best." + +Mommy smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are the best, too." She hugged her and said, "I love you." + +Lily hugged her back and said, "I love you, too." +Lily was a curious girl who liked to learn new things. She had a phone that her mom gave her to play games and watch videos. Sometimes, she also used the phone to talk to her grandma, who lived far away. + +One day, Lily saw a button on the phone that she had never pressed before. It had a picture of a camera and a word that said "photo". She wondered what would happen if she pressed it. She was a little scared, but also excited. + +She decided to ask her mom first. She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making lunch. "Mom, can I press this button on the phone?" she asked, showing her the phone. + +Her mom looked at the button and smiled. "That's the photo button, Lily. It lets you take pictures of things you see. Do you want to try it?" she asked. + +Lily nodded eagerly. Her mom encouraged her. "Go ahead, Lily. You can take pictures of anything you like. Just be careful not to drop the phone, okay?" + +Lily thanked her mom and ran outside. She saw a lot of things that she wanted to take pictures of: a flower, a bird, a cloud, a car. She pressed the button and heard a click. She looked at the screen and saw the pictures she had taken. She was amazed and happy. + +She ran back to the kitchen and showed her mom the pictures. Her mom praised her. "Wow, Lily, you took some beautiful pictures. You have a good eye. I'm so proud of you." + +Lily felt proud too. She learned something new and had fun. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a smart and curious girl. Never stop exploring and learning." + +The moral value of the story is that curiosity and learning are good, and that parents should encourage their children to try new things. The narrative uses foreshadowing or setup and payoff by introducing the photo button and showing how Lily uses it to take pictures. The dialogue shows the interaction and the emotions of the characters. +Ben and Lily were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. + +"Look at my tower, Lily!" Ben said. "It is very tall and strong. It is the best tower ever!" + +Lily looked at Ben's tower and frowned. She wanted to have the best tower, too. She had a smaller tower with fewer blocks. She felt angry and jealous of Ben. + +She decided to do something bad. She pushed Ben's tower with her hand and made it fall down. All the blocks crashed to the floor and made a loud noise. + +"Hey, why did you do that?" Ben shouted. "That was not nice, Lily! You broke my tower!" + +Lily did not say sorry. She laughed and said, "Now my tower is the best tower. Your tower is gone. Ha ha ha!" + +Ben felt very sad and mad. He started to cry. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He ran to his mom and told her what Lily did. + +Mom was not happy with Lily. She scolded her and made her pick up all the blocks. She said, "Lily, you need to learn to share and be kind. You cannot ruin other people's things. That is very rude and mean." + +Lily did not like to pick up the blocks. She did not like to be scolded. She wished she had not pushed Ben's tower. She realized she had made a big mistake. She had lost a friend and a great game. She felt very sorry and sad. She wished she could say sorry to Ben and play with him again. But it was too late. Ben did not want to talk to her anymore. He did not trust her anymore. He did not like her anymore. +Anna likes to exercise. She likes to run and jump and play with her ball. She goes to the park with her mom and dad every day. She has a lot of fun. + +One day, she sees a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry and has a long tail. Anna thinks the dog is cute. She wants to pet the dog. She runs towards the dog. + +But the dog does not like Anna. The dog does not recognize Anna. The dog thinks Anna is a stranger. The dog barks and growls and shows its teeth. The dog is angry and scared. + +Anna is scared too. She stops running and cries. She wants her mom and dad. She does not want to pet the dog anymore. She thinks the dog is crazy. + +Her mom and dad hear her cry. They run to her and hug her. They tell her it is okay. They tell her not to go near the dog. They tell her the dog is not friendly. They tell her to be careful. + +Anna nods and wipes her tears. She learns a lesson. She does not run to strange dogs anymore. She only plays with her ball. She still likes to exercise. She still has a lot of fun. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Ben follows her. + +"Wait for me, Lily!" Ben says. He is deaf and cannot hear well. He wears a special thing in his ear to help him. But Lily does not listen. She is too excited. + +Lily reaches the top of the slide. She sees a bright light. It is the sun. It makes her eyes hurt. She covers her eyes with her hand. She does not see the edge of the slide. She leans too far and falls off. She screams. + +Ben hears her scream. He looks up and sees her falling. He is scared. He tries to catch her, but he is too late. Lily hits the ground hard. She does not move. + +Ben cries. He runs to Lily and shakes her. He calls her name. But Lily does not answer. She is hurt. She does not breathe. Ben is alone. He is sad. He wishes he had waited for her. He wishes he had helped her. He wishes he had said sorry. But it is too late. Lily is gone. +Sam and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of toys, but they like to make new ones with tape and paper. They cut and stick and fold and draw, and soon they have a big pile of modern toys. + +"Look, I made a rocket!" Sam says, holding up a paper cone with tape wings. "It can fly to the moon and the stars!" + +"That's cool!" Lily says, nodding. "And I made a robot!" She shows him a paper box with tape arms and legs and eyes. "It can talk and dance and help us!" + +"Wow, that's awesome!" Sam says, nodding too. "Can we play with them together?" + +"Sure!" Lily says, smiling. "Let's pretend we are space explorers and the robot is our friend!" + +They take their toys and run to the couch, where they pretend it is a spaceship. They make noises and move their toys around, and have a lot of fun. They are very happy and proud of their modern toys. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. But sometimes they fight. Lila wants to send Ben home when he is stubborn. Ben wants to send Lila away when she is bossy. + +One day, they have a big fight. Lila says Ben can't play with her doll. Ben says Lila can't play with his car. They push and pull and shout. They make each other cry. They hurt each other's skin. + +Lila's mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lila and Ben with red eyes and scratches. She is sad and angry. She says they have to say sorry and share. Or they have to go to their own homes. + +Lila and Ben don't want to say sorry. They don't want to share. They are stubborn. They think they are right. They want to send each other away. They cross their arms and turn their backs. + +But then they feel lonely. They miss their friend. They remember the fun they had. They think maybe they were wrong. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say sorry. They hug. They share.

When they arrived, they found a modest spot under a big tree. They sat down and enjoyed their lunch together. + +After they finished eating, Lily's dad said, "Let's play some games!" They played hide-and-seek and tag until it started to get dark. Lily was tired but happy. She said, "Today was the best day ever!" +Once upon a time, there were two friends. They were very close and loved to play together. One day, they had a meeting at the park to play together. But when they got there, they started to quarrel over who would get to play with the ball first. + +Their chubby dog, who was with them, started to bark loudly because he didn't like the noise. The two friends stopped quarreling and looked at the dog. They realized that they were being silly and decided to play together with the ball. + +From that day on, they never quarreled again and always had fun at their meetings at the park. And their chubby dog was always there to play with them too. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and read her books. One day, Lily's mommy told her that they were going to a party. Lily was so excited! She loved parties because there were lots of fun things to do and yummy food to eat. + +When they got to the party, Lily saw a big pile of presents. She couldn't wait to open them! But first, she had to say hello to all the people at the party. Lily saw her friend, Tommy, and went to speak with him. They talked about their favorite toys and books. + +After they finished talking, it was time to open presents. Lily got a big pink teddy bear! It was so easy to hug and cuddle with. She was so happy and thanked her mommy for taking her to the party. From that day on, Lily loved going to parties and making new friends. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to wear soft dresses and shiny jewelry. One day, she saw a beautiful necklace in a store. She pointed at it and said to her mom, "Can we buy that pretty necklace, please?" + +Her mom replied, "Sure, Lily. But we need to save money first." + +Lily was sad but she understood. She decided to save her own money. She did chores around the house and saved her allowance. Finally, she had enough money to buy the necklace. She ran to the store and said to the salesperson, "I want to buy that pretty necklace, please." + +The salesperson smiled and said, "Of course, little one. It's a lovely piece of jewelry. I'm sure you'll love it." + +Lily was so happy. She put on her new necklace and it was soft against her skin. She ran back to her mom and said, "Look, Mommy! I bought this pretty necklace all by myself!" Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm so proud of you, Lily." +Once upon a time, there were three animals: a rabbit, a turtle, and a fox. They wanted to have a race to see who was the fastest. The rabbit thought he would win because he was quick, but the turtle was slow and steady. The fox was envious of the other animals and wanted to win too. + +The race started, and the rabbit ran very fast, but he got tired and stopped to take a nap. The turtle kept going and going, and eventually, he won the race. The fox was sad because he didn't win, but he learned that it's not always about being the fastest or the strongest. Sometimes it's about being patient and never giving up. + +The animals all smiled and congratulated the turtle on his win. They learned that it's important to be kind and happy for others, even if they don't win. And that's the end of the story! +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved playing with her dolls and figures. One day, she went to the park with her mom. While they were walking, Lily saw a distant tree and wanted to go there. + +"Mommy, can we go to the tree?" she asked. + +"Yes, we can. Let's go," her mom replied. + +As they were walking, Lily saw a figure on the ground. It was a toy car. She picked it up and started to pull it along with her. + +"Look, Mommy! I found a car!" she said happily. + +"That's great, Lily. You have a good eye for finding things," her mom said. + +Lily smiled and continued to pull the car while walking with her mom to the distant tree. +Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Timmy. He loved to play with his toys. One day, he found a top that could spin round and round. Timmy was so happy! He played with the top all day long. He was very playful with it. + +As the sun went down, Timmy's mom called him inside for dinner. But Timmy didn't want to stop playing with his top. So, he brought it with him to the dinner table. Timmy's mom smiled and said, "You are very playful, Timmy." + +After dinner, Timmy went to bed with his top. He spun it and watched it go round and round. It made him feel happy and sleepy. Timmy dreamed of spinning tops all night long. And when he woke up, he was ready to be playful with his toys again. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy was playing with his toys when his sister, Lily, came in. "Timmy, can you help me spell my name?" asked Lily. Timmy was confused. "What's spell?" he asked. "It means to say the letters in my name," explained Lily. Timmy helped Lily spell her name and they both smiled. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw two birds fighting over a worm. "Look Lily, the birds are fighting!" exclaimed Timmy. Lily looked out and said, "That's not nice. They should share the worm." Timmy agreed and they decided to go outside and give the birds some bread instead. The birds stopped fighting and ate the bread together. + +After that, Timmy and Lily went back inside to play with their toys. "Thanks for helping me spell my name, Timmy," said Lily. "No problem," replied Timmy. They both smiled again and continued playing. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a delicate watch that she loved very much. One day, she was playing in the park with her friend, Tommy. Tommy saw the watch and said, "Wow, that's a pretty watch, Lily! Can I see it?" + +Lily said, "Sure, but be careful. It's delicate." Tommy took the watch and looked at it closely. Suddenly, he dropped it and the watch fell to the ground. Lily was sad and said, "Oh no! My watch is broken. What should I do?" + +Tommy said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'll help you. Let's hang the watch on this tree and wait for the watchmaker to come and fix it." So, they hung the watch on a branch and waited patiently. Finally, the watchmaker came and fixed the watch. Lily was happy and said, "Thank you, Tommy. You're a good friend." +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved going to the park to play with her friends. One day, she fell off the swing and hurt her knee. She started to cry and her friend, Timmy, came over to comfort her. + +"Don't cry, Lily. I'll help you feel better," said Timmy. + +Lily wiped away her tears and smiled. "Thank you, Timmy. You're my best friend." + +Later that day, Lily and her family went to a popular temple. They lit candles and prayed for good luck. Lily felt happy and safe inside the temple. + +As they were leaving, Lily's mom asked her, "Did you have fun at the temple, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy. I felt peaceful and calm." + +From that day on, Lily knew that whenever she was hurt or sad, she could always count on her friends and family to comfort her. And when she needed a peaceful place to go, she could always visit the temple. +Lily and Sam were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and bridges and castles. Lily wanted to make the tallest tower ever. She put one block on top of another, and another, and another. She tried to balance them very carefully, but it was hard. + +"Look, Sam, look how high my tower is!" Lily said. + +Sam looked at Lily's tower. He was a little jealous. He wanted to make a high tower too. He took some blocks from Lily's pile and started to build his own tower. He put one block on top of another, and another, and another. He tried to balance them very carefully, but it was hard. + +"Look, Lily, look how high my tower is!" Sam said. + +Lily looked at Sam's tower. She was a little angry. He took her blocks without asking. She wanted to have more blocks for her tower. She reached for some blocks from Sam's pile and started to add them to her tower. She put one block on top of another, and another, and another. She tried to balance them very carefully, but it was hard. + +"Hey, Lily, stop taking my blocks!" Sam said. + +"No, you stop taking my blocks!" Lily said. + +They both pulled and pushed the blocks. They both wanted to have the tallest tower. They both forgot to balance them very carefully. The blocks started to wobble and shake. Then they all fell down with a loud crash. + +"Uh-oh," Lily and Sam said. + +They looked at the mess of blocks. They looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They decided to share the blocks and work together. They started to build a new tower. They put one block on top of another, and another, and another. They balanced them very carefully, and it was not so hard. + +"Look, Lily, look how high our tower is!" Sam said. + +"Look, Sam, look how high our tower is!" Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged. They were happy. They had the tallest tower ever. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They made a big road with their blocks and zoomed their cars along it. They had fun making noises and pretending to be drivers. + +But then, Ben saw the big seat that mom and dad used to watch TV. He had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's destroy the seat! It will be fun!" + +Lily was not sure. She liked the seat. It was soft and warm and cozy. She said to Ben, "No, Ben. We can't destroy the seat. Mom and dad will be mad. And we will be cold." + +But Ben did not listen. He grabbed his car and ran to the seat. He jumped on it and started to rip the cushion with his teeth. He threw the stuffing everywhere. He laughed and said, "Look, Lily! I destroyed the seat! It's fun!" + +Lily was scared. She saw the mess that Ben made. She saw the holes in the seat. She felt the cold air coming from the window. She said to Ben, "Ben, stop! You are bad! You destroyed the seat! Mom and dad will be sad. And we will be cold." + +But it was too late. Mom and dad came home and saw the destroyed seat. They were very angry. They scolded Ben and made him clean up the mess. They sent him to his room without dinner. They hugged Lily and said, "Lily, you are good. You did not destroy the seat. You can have dinner with us. And we will get a new seat soon." + +Lily felt sorry for Ben, but she was also glad that she did not destroy the seat. She learned that destroying things was not fun. It was bad. And it made people cold. +Sara loves dolphins. She has a big book with many pictures of dolphins. She likes to look at the book and learn their names and colors. She wishes she could see a real dolphin and play with it. + +One day, Sara goes to the beach with her mom and dad. They bring a bucket and a shovel and some sand toys. Sara makes a big sandcastle with a moat and a tower. She is very proud of her sandcastle. She looks at the water and wonders if there are any dolphins there. + +She sees something shiny and gray jump out of the water. It is a dolphin! Sara is very happy and excited. She runs to the water and waves at the dolphin. The dolphin sees her and makes a loud noise. It sounds like "eeek eeek eeek". Sara thinks the dolphin is saying hello. + +"Hello, dolphin!" Sara says. "Do you want to play with me? I have a sandcastle and some toys. You can come and see them." + +The dolphin nods and swims closer to the shore. Sara runs back to her sandcastle and brings a toy boat. She puts it in the water and pushes it towards the dolphin. The dolphin nudges the boat with its nose and makes it spin. Sara laughs and claps her hands. The dolphin makes the "eeek eeek eeek" noise again. Sara thinks the dolphin is happy. + +Sara and the dolphin play with the boat for a while. Then Sara brings a toy fish and throws it in the water. The dolphin catches the fish and tosses it back to Sara. They play catch with the fish. Sara and the dolphin have a lot of fun. + +Sara's mom and dad watch them and smile. They are glad that Sara has made a new friend. They think the dolphin is very smart and friendly. They wonder why the dolphin is alone and not with other dolphins. + +"Are you lonely, dolphin?" Sara asks. "Where are your family and friends?" + +The dolphin makes a sad noise. It sounds like "aww aww aww". Sara thinks the dolphin is sad. She hugs the dolphin and says, "Don't be sad, dolphin. I am your friend. You can come and play with me anytime. I will always be here for you." + +The dolphin hugs Sara back and makes a happy noise. It sounds like "yee yee yee". Sara thinks the dolphin is grateful. She kisses the dolphin and says, "I love you, dolphin. You are the best." + +The dolphin kisses Sara and says, "I love you, Sara. You are the best." +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a dove on a tree. The dove was white and nice. Lila and Ben wanted to say hello to the dove. + +"Hello, dove!" Lila said. "You are very pretty. Do you have a name?" + +The dove looked at Lila and Ben. It made a soft sound. "Coo, coo," the dove said. + +"Is that your name? Coo?" Ben asked. "Can you tell us more about you?" + +The dove nodded. It flew down from the tree and landed on Lila's shoulder. It whispered in her ear. "Coo, coo, coo." + +Lila smiled. She repeated what the dove said to Ben. "The dove says his name is Coo. He lives in the park with his family. He likes to eat seeds and berries. He is happy to meet us." + +Ben was amazed. He reached out his hand to touch the dove. The dove let him stroke his feathers. He cooed again. "Coo, coo, coo." + +Lila and Ben laughed. They thanked the dove for talking to them. They gave him some bread crumbs from their snack. The dove ate them happily. He flew back to the tree and waved his wing. "Coo, coo, coo. Bye, bye, Lila and Ben. You are very nice." + +Lila and Ben waved back. They said goodbye to the dove. They continued to play in the park. They hoped to see the dove again. They liked the dove very much. He was a nice friend. +Tom was hungry. He saw a big muffin on the table. It was brown and had white dots on it. It looked yummy. + +"Can I have the muffin, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, honey. But only one. Too many muffins can make you gain weight." Mom said. + +Tom took the muffin and bit into it. It was soft and sweet. He liked it a lot. + +He saw a bird outside the window. It was blue and yellow. It had a long tail. It was interesting. + +"Look, Mom, a bird!" Tom said. + +He put the muffin down and ran to the window. He wanted to see the bird better. + +But when he came back, the muffin was gone. He saw a dog on the floor. It was licking its mouth. It had crumbs on its fur. + +"Hey, that's my muffin!" Tom said. + +He was sad and angry. The dog had eaten his muffin. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" Tom said. + +He tried to chase the dog away. But the dog was bigger and faster. It ran out of the door. + +Mom came and hugged Tom. + +"I'm sorry, honey. The dog was naughty. He shouldn't have taken your muffin." Mom said. + +She gave Tom another muffin. It was pink and had sprinkles on it. It looked even yummier. + +"Thank you, Mom. You are the best." Tom said. + +He smiled and ate the muffin. He forgot about the dog and the bird. He was happy. +Tommy and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box full of different toys, like cars, dolls, balls and books. They knew that their toys were valuable, because their mom and dad gave them to them with love. + +One day, their mom told them to clean up their room and put their toys back in the box. She said that they had to be obedient and do what she asked, or they would not get any dessert. Tommy and Lily did not want to miss dessert, so they nodded and said, "Yes, mom." + +But when they started to clean up, they had a problem. They both wanted to play with the same toy, a red car that made noises and had lights. They both grabbed the car and pulled it, trying to take it from each other. + +"Let go, it's mine!" Tommy shouted. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily yelled. + +They pulled and pulled, until the car broke in half. They both gasped and dropped the pieces. They looked at each other with sad and angry faces. + +They heard their mom coming up the stairs. They knew they were in trouble. They quickly picked up the broken car and hid it under the bed. Then they put the rest of their toys in the box and pretended to be done. + +Their mom came in and saw the box. She smiled and said, "Good job, Tommy and Lily. You are very obedient and tidy. I'm proud of you. You can have dessert now." + +Tommy and Lily followed their mom downstairs, but they did not feel happy. They felt guilty and sorry. They knew they had been naughty and dishonest. They knew they had wasted a valuable toy that their mom and dad gave them. They wished they had shared and played nicely. They decided to tell their mom the truth and say sorry. They hoped she would forgive them and help them fix the car. They learned a lesson about valuing their toys and their siblings. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big mill near their house. The mill had a big wheel that turned with the water. They wanted to see what was inside the mill. + +They ran to the mill and opened the door. It was dark and noisy inside. They saw many machines that cut wood and made flour. They also saw many bags and boxes that had the mill's name on them. + +"Wow, look at all this!" Lily said. "Can we take some home?" + +Ben nodded. He saw a small box that had a picture of a cake on it. He thought it was flour for making cake. He picked up the box and tried to open it. + +But the box was not flour. It was something else. Something fragile. Something that made a loud bang when it broke. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Lily shouted. She saw smoke and fire coming out of the box. She heard the machines stop and the people scream. + +Ben dropped the box and ran to Lily. He was scared and sorry. He did not know he cut the wrong thing. + +They ran out of the mill and saw the fire grow bigger and bigger. They saw the people try to put out the fire. They saw the big wheel stop turning. + +They ran to their house and told their mom what happened. Their mom was angry and sad. She hugged them and said they were lucky they were not hurt. She said they should never go to the mill again. She said they should be careful with things they did not know. + +Lily and Ben said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never cut things they did not know again. +Lily and Ben are twins, but they are not the same. Lily likes pink and Ben likes blue. Lily likes dolls and Ben likes cars. Lily and Ben have unique looks. + +One day, they go to the park with Mom. They see a big slide. Lily and Ben want to try it. They run to the slide and wait for their turn. + +"Look, Lily, I have a zip on my jacket. I can zip it up and down. Zip, zip, zip!" Ben says. + +"Wow, Ben, that is cool. I don't have a zip on my dress. I have buttons. I can button them up and down. Button, button, button!" Lily says. + +They giggle and show each other their zips and buttons. They are happy with their unique looks. + +Then, it is their turn to slide. They climb up the ladder and sit on the slide. They hold hands and smile. + +"Ready, Lily?" Ben asks. + +"Ready, Ben!" Lily answers. + +They slide down together. Whee! They feel the wind on their faces and the sun on their hair. They laugh and have fun. + +They reach the bottom and hug each other. They are happy with their unique looks and their unique slide. They love each other very much. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They were having fun. + +But then Ben saw a big boy with a bottle of juice. The juice was red and shiny. Ben wanted the juice. He ran to the big boy and said, "Give me your juice!" + +The big boy looked at Ben and laughed. He was much bigger than Ben. He said, "No, this is my juice. You are too small and weak. Go away!" + +Ben felt angry and sad. He wanted to be big and strong like the big boy. He wanted to gain power. He looked around and saw a stick. He picked up the stick and said, "I have a stick. I am mighty. Give me your juice or I will hit you!" + +The big boy saw the stick and felt scared. He did not want to get hurt. He said, "OK, OK, you can have my juice. Just don't hit me!" + +Ben took the juice and drank it. He felt happy and proud. He said, "Ha, ha, I have the juice. I am mighty. You are not." + +Lily saw what Ben did and felt sad. She did not like how Ben acted. She said, "Ben, that was not nice. You should not take things from others. You should not use a stick to hurt others. You are not mighty. You are mean." + +Ben heard Lily and felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He said, "Lily, you are right. I am sorry. I should not have taken the juice. I should not have used the stick. I was not mighty. I was mean. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily saw Ben was sorry and felt glad. She said, "Yes, I forgive you. But you have to say sorry to the big boy too. And you have to share the juice with him and me." + +Ben nodded and said, "OK, I will. Come on, let's go." + +Ben and Lily went to the big boy and said sorry. They shared the juice with him. They became friends. They played together in the park. They had fun. +Lily and Ben liked to help their mom bake cakes. They took turns to use the mixer, a big machine that made the batter smooth and fluffy. But one day, the mixer made a loud noise and stopped working. Mom looked sad and said, "Oh no, the mixer is broken. We can't finish the cake now." + +Lily and Ben wanted to cheer up their mom. They remembered that their dad was good at fixing things. Maybe he could repair the mixer. They ran to the garage, where dad kept his tools. They looked for the mixer, but they could not find it. They asked dad, "Where is the mixer, dad? Can you repair it?" + +Dad smiled and said, "The mixer is hidden in the closet. I already repaired it this morning. I wanted to surprise mom with a new cake. Do you want to help me decorate it?" Lily and Ben nodded and followed dad to the closet. They saw the mixer, shiny and working. They also saw a big chocolate cake, waiting for them. + +They brought the mixer and the cake to the kitchen, where mom was. Mom was surprised and happy. She hugged dad and said, "Thank you, you are so sweet. And thank you, Lily and Ben, for being such good helpers. Now let's enjoy the cake together." They cut the cake and ate it. It was delicious and they all smiled. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play outside in winter. They made snowmen and snowballs and snow forts. They wore warm hats and coats and boots and gloves. + +One day, they saw a big hill with lots of snow. They wanted to slide down the hill on their sleds. They ran to the hill with their sleds and took turns sliding. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily saw something in the snow. It was a small bird. It was not moving. It looked very cold and sad. Lily felt upset. She loved birds. She ran to the bird and picked it up. She held it close to her chest. + +"Ben, look! A bird!" she shouted. "It is not well. We have to help it!" + +Ben slid down the hill and joined Lily. He looked at the bird. He felt upset too. He liked birds as well. + +"What can we do?" he asked. + +"Let's take it home. Maybe Mom can help it," Lily said. + +They put the bird on Lily's sled and covered it with a scarf. They pulled the sled back to their house. They knocked on the door. Mom opened it. + +"Mom, we found a bird. It is not well. Can you help it?" Lily said. + +Mom looked at the bird. She smiled gently. + +"Come in, sweeties. Let's lay the bird on a soft pillow. Maybe it just needs some rest and warmth. You did a good thing, finding it and bringing it home," she said. + +She took the bird inside and lay it on a pillow. She gave it some water and seeds. She told Lily and Ben to be quiet and gentle. They watched the bird and hoped it would get better. They felt less upset. They felt proud and happy. +Lily loved to dance. She danced every day in her room, in the garden, and at school. She had a special dress that was pink and shiny, and made her feel like a dancer. + +One day, Lily was dancing in the garden, when she heard a loud rip. She looked down and saw that her dress had a big hole in it. She felt sad and ran to her mom. + +"Mom, mom, look at my dress!" she cried. "It's broken!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We can repair it. Let's go inside and find some thread and a needle." + +They went inside and her mom found some pink thread and a small needle. She showed Lily how to sew the hole carefully, making small stitches. Lily helped her mom by holding the dress and the thread. + +"There, it's done!" her mom said, after a few minutes. "Your dress is as good as new. Do you want to try it on?" + +Lily nodded and put on her dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She twirled and jumped and spun. Her dress sparkled and flowed. + +"You look incredible, Lily!" her mom said. "You are a wonderful dancer!" + +Lily hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best!" + +They went outside and danced together, happy and proud. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used some flour and sugar and eggs that they found in the cupboard. + +But they made a big mess. Flour and sugar and eggs were everywhere. On the floor, on the table, on the walls. They even spilled some on their clothes. They did not see Mom coming in. She was very angry. + +"What are you doing?" Mom shouted. "Look at this mess! You are not chefs, you are naughty children! Go to your rooms right now!" + +Lily and Tom felt very bad. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They just wanted to have fun. They said sorry and ran to their rooms. They cried on their beds. + +After a while, Mom came to their rooms. She was not angry anymore. She was calm and kind. She hugged them and said, "I forgive you. I know you were just playing. But you have to be careful and ask me before you use things from the cupboard. And you have to help me clean up the mess. OK?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said sorry again and hugged Mom back. They were glad that Mom forgave them. They loved Mom very much. They went to the kitchen and helped Mom clean up. They also made some real yummy food together. They had a nice dinner and laughed and talked. They were happy. +Lily was a spoiled girl who always wanted more toys. She did not like to share with her brother Tom or her friends. She had a big cabinet full of toys, but she never played with them. She only wanted new ones. + +One day, she saw a shiny red car in the store. She begged her mom to buy it for her. Her mom said no, because she already had too many toys. Lily threw a tantrum and cried and screamed. Her mom was very angry and said, "If you don't stop, I will make all your toys vanish!" + +Lily did not believe her mom. She thought her mom was just joking. She kept crying and screaming. Her mom said, "Fine, you will see what happens when we get home." She took Lily by the hand and left the store. + +When they got home, Lily ran to her cabinet to see her toys. But she was shocked to find that it was empty. There was nothing inside. All her toys had vanished. She looked around the room, but she could not find them anywhere. She started to cry again. + +Her mom came in and said, "I told you what would happen if you did not stop. I gave all your toys to the charity. They will go to children who have no toys and who will appreciate them. Maybe this will teach you a lesson. You should be grateful for what you have and learn to share with others. Toys are not the most important thing in life. Love and kindness are." + +Lily felt very sorry for what she had done. She realized that her mom was right. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was very bad. I don't need so many toys. I just want you and Tom and my friends. Can you forgive me?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, I forgive you, Lily. I love you very much. But you have to promise me that you will not be spoiled anymore. You have to be nice and generous and polite. Can you do that?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I can do that. I will be a good girl from now on. Thank you for teaching me a lesson. Can we go and play with Tom now?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's go and buy some ice cream. You deserve a treat for being honest and brave." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever. I love you." + +They hugged and went to get some ice cream. Lily learned that being spoiled is not fun, and that being happy is more than having toys. She learned to value what she had and to share with others. She never threw a tantrum again. +Lily and Max liked to play pirate in the garden. They had a big box that was their ship, and a flag with a skull and bones. They wore hats and eye patches and said "Arrr!" a lot. + +One day, they saw a wild cat in the garden. It had black and white stripes and a long tail. It looked at them with yellow eyes and made a loud noise. "Meow!" + +"Look, a pirate cat!" Max said. "Let's catch it and make it our pet!" + +Lily and Max jumped out of their box and ran after the cat. The cat was scared and ran away. It jumped over the fence and ran into the street. + +"Stop, pirate cat, stop!" Lily and Max shouted. They followed the cat to the street, but they did not see the big car that was coming. + +"Stop, Lily, Max, stop!" their mom shouted. She saw them from the window and ran out of the house. She grabbed them and pulled them back to the garden. She was very angry and scared. + +"Lily and Max, you are very naughty!" she said. "You can't chase a wild cat into the street! You could have been hurt by the car! You have to be careful and listen to me!" + +Lily and Max felt sorry and hugged their mom. They said they were sorry and they would not do it again. + +"OK, I forgive you," their mom said. "But no more pirate games today. You have to stay in the garden and play something else." + +Lily and Max nodded and went back to their box. They decided to play something else. They played doctor and nurse and pretended to take care of the pirate cat. They said "Arrr!" a lot. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big car in the park. It is shiny and has four doors. Lily and Ben run to the car and look inside. + +"Wow, this car is so high!" Lily says. She tries to climb on the seat, but she is too small. Ben helps her by pushing her up. They sit on the seat and pretend to drive. They see a lot of buttons and lights on the car. They touch them and make noises. + +"Beep beep! Vroom vroom!" Ben says. He turns the wheel and makes the car honk. Lily laughs and presses a button. The car plays music. They sing along and dance on the seat. + +"Look, this car has a TV!" Lily says. She points to a screen on the back of the seat. She presses another button and the TV turns on. They see a show with animals and colors. They watch the show and learn new words. + +"This car is so nice!" Ben says. "It has everything we like. It is a luxury car!" + +Mom and dad see Lily and Ben in the car. They smile and walk to the car. They knock on the window and wave. Lily and Ben wave back and open the door. + +"Did you have fun in the car?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, we did!" Lily and Ben say. "This car is a luxury car! Can we have it?" + +Mom and dad laugh and shake their heads. They kneel down and hug Lily and Ben. + +"No, we can't have it," Dad says. "This car belongs to someone else. We have to be respectful and not touch other people's things without asking. But we can admire it from afar." + +Lily and Ben nod and say sorry. They get out of the car and say bye to the car. They hold mom and dad's hands and walk to their own car. It is not as shiny or high or luxury as the other car, but it is cozy and warm and full of love. Lily and Ben are happy. They love their car and their mom and dad. They drive home and tell their mom and dad about their adventure in the park. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Tom has a new toy. It is a crane. A crane is a big truck with a long arm. The crane can lift things up and down. + +"Look at my crane!" Tom says to Lily. "It is great. It can lift this block and put it there. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nods. She likes cranes too. She takes the crane from Tom and pushes a button. The crane arm moves up. She pushes another button. The crane arm moves down. She lifts a block and puts it on top of another block. + +"Wow, you are good at cranes!" Tom says. "Can I have a turn?" + +Lily gives the crane back to Tom. They take turns to play with the crane. They make a tower with the blocks. They are happy. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is curious. He sees the crane and the blocks. He thinks they are fun. He runs to the tower and knocks it down. The blocks fall. The crane falls. Tom and Lily are sad. + +"Bad dog!" Tom says. "You broke our tower and our crane!" + +The dog barks. He does not understand. He thinks they want to play. He picks up the crane in his mouth and runs away. + +"Come back!" Lily says. "That is our crane!" + +Tom and Lily chase the dog. They want their crane back. They hope the crane is not broken. They love their crane. It is great. +Sara and Ben were playing in the sand at the beach. They liked to make castles and tunnels and bridges with their buckets and shovels. They also liked to find shells and rocks and seaweed and put them on their sand creations. + +One day, they saw a big crab crawling out of the water. It had long claws and shiny eyes and a hard shell. Sara and Ben were curious and wanted to look at it closer. They ran towards the crab, but the crab was scared and ran away. + +"Wait, crab, wait!" Sara called. "We just want to be your friends!" + +But the crab did not stop. It hid under a pile of sand and seaweed. Sara and Ben followed it and tried to dig it out. They used their shovels and their hands and their feet. They made a big mess of the sand and the seaweed. + +"Stop, stop!" a voice said. It was their mom. She had been watching them from a blanket. She looked troubled. "What are you doing, Sara and Ben? You are hurting the crab and ruining the beach!" + +Sara and Ben stopped and looked at their mom. They did not understand why she was angry. They had been having fun. + +"We were playing with the crab, mom," Ben said. "We wanted to see it and touch it and talk to it." + +"But the crab did not want to play with you, Ben," mom said. "The crab was afraid of you. You were too loud and too fast and too rough. You made the crab feel bad and you made the beach look bad. You have to be gentle and respectful with the animals and the nature. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for the crab and the beach. They had not meant to be mean. They had a question for their mom. + +"Mom, can we say sorry to the crab and the beach?" Sara asked. + +Mom smiled. She was glad that Sara and Ben were sorry and wanted to make things right. + +"Yes, you can, Sara," mom said. "You can say sorry with your words and your actions. You can put the sand and the seaweed back where they belong. You can leave the crab alone and let it go back to the water. You can be kind and careful with the sand and the sea. And you can have fun in a different way. Do you want to do that?" + +Sara and Ben smiled. They wanted to do that. They said sorry to the crab and the beach. They fixed the sand and the seaweed. They waved goodbye to the crab and let it go. They hugged their mom and thanked her for teaching them. They found a new spot to play in the sand. They made a new castle and a new tunnel and a new bridge. They also made a new friend. It was a starfish. The starfish did not mind playing with them. They were gentle and respectful with the starfish and the sand and the sea. They had a lot of fun. +Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with many rocks and grass. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Sam, let's go!" Ben said. He ran towards the hill and started to climb. + +"Wait for me, Ben!" Sam said. He followed his brother, but he was slower and more careful. He did not like the rocks. They were harsh and hurt his feet. + +Ben reached the top of the hill and looked around. He saw a lake with ducks and fish. He also saw a big tree with a swing. He was happy and shouted to Sam. + +"Sam, look! There is a lake and a swing! Come and see!" + +Sam heard Ben and tried to hurry. He wanted to see the lake and the swing too. But he was not looking where he was going. He stepped on a loose rock and slipped. He fell down the hill and hurt his leg. He cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! My leg, my leg!" + +Ben heard Sam and ran back down the hill. He saw Sam lying on the ground with his leg bleeding. He felt sorry and scared. He did not know what to do. + +"Sam, are you okay? What happened?" Ben asked. + +"I fell and hurt my leg. It hurts so much. Help me, Ben!" Sam said. + +Ben looked around and saw a stick and a cloth. He had an idea. He took the stick and the cloth and made a bandage for Sam's leg. He wrapped the cloth around the stick and tied it on Sam's leg. He hoped it would help. + +"There, Sam. I made a bandage for you. It will stop the bleeding and make your leg feel better. Relax, Sam. Relax." Ben said. + +Sam felt the bandage on his leg. It was tight and warm. It made his leg hurt less. He relaxed a little and smiled at Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. You saved me." Sam said. + +Ben smiled back at Sam. He was glad he could help. He hugged Sam and said. + +"You are welcome, Sam. You are a good brother too. I love you." Ben said. + +They stayed on the ground and waited for their mom to come and get them. They did not care about the lake and the swing anymore. They only cared about each other. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and to help each other. They learned to be good brothers. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with blocks. They liked to build towers with the blocks and see who could make the tallest one. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. + +One day, they decided to have a contest to see who could build the best tower. They each got a pile of blocks and started to work. Lily made a tower that was very tall and thin. Ben made a tower that was very wide and strong. They both thought their tower was the best. + +They looked at each other's tower and started to argue. Lily said, "My tower is better because it is taller. It can touch the sky." Ben said, "No, my tower is better because it is stronger. It can stand in the wind." They got angry and tried to knock down each other's tower. + +But as they pushed and pulled, they both lost their balance and fell down. Their towers crashed to the ground and the blocks scattered everywhere. They both started to cry. They had ruined their towers and their friendship. + +Then they heard a voice. It was their teacher, Miss Rose. She came over and helped them up. She said, "What happened here? Why are you fighting?" Lily and Ben told her about their contest and their towers. Miss Rose said, "I see. You both worked hard and made nice towers. But you forgot something important. You forgot to have fun and share. You don't have to be the best or the winner all the time. You can be happy and proud of what you do, but you can also be kind and respectful of what others do. That's what friends do. And that's what makes a good team." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said, "You're right, Miss Rose. We don't want to fight. We want to be friends. And we want to play with blocks." Miss Rose smiled and said, "That's good. Now, why don't you work together and build a new tower? A tower that is both tall and strong. A tower that you can both enjoy and admire. A tower that shows your friendship and teamwork." + +Lily and Ben liked that idea. They picked up the blocks and started to build a new tower. They helped each other and gave each other compliments. They made a tower that was both tall and strong. And on top of the tower, they put a block that said, "Lily and Ben are friends." They were very happy and proud of their tower. They looked at each other and said, "We like our tower. It is the best tower ever. And we like each other. We are the best friends ever. And maybe, when we grow up, we can marry each other." They laughed and hugged. Miss Rose clapped and said, "That's a wonderful tower and a wonderful story. You have learned a valuable lesson today. Friendship is more important than competition. And love is more important than anything." + +The end. +Sara liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a shelf for her books. She was very proud of her neat room. She wanted to show her mom how impressive her toys were. + +One day, mom said they had to go to the store. Sara did not want to go. She wanted to stay and play with her toys. She said no to mom. Mom was not happy. She said Sara had to go with her. Sara was angry. She threw her toys on the floor. She made a big mess. + +Mom saw the mess and was very sad. She said Sara had to clean up her toys before they could go. Sara did not want to clean up. She said no to mom. Mom was very angry. She said Sara had to go to time out. Sara had to sit on a chair and think about what she did. + +Sara felt bad. She saw her toys on the floor. She saw her mom's sad face. She realized she was wrong. She said sorry to mom. She said she would clean up her toys. Mom smiled and hugged her. She said she was glad Sara said sorry. She said she would help her clean up. + +Sara and mom cleaned up the toys. Sara put them back in their boxes and on their shelf. She learned to organize her toys again. She learned to listen to mom. She learned to say sorry when she made a mistake. She and mom went to the store. They had a good day. + +The moral of the story is: Organizing your toys is impressive, but listening to your mom and saying sorry are more important. +Lila and Ben are twins who like to play pretend. One day, they find a big map in the attic. The map has many colors and pictures of animals and places. + +"Look, Ben, this is a map of the world!" Lila says. "We can go on an adventure and find treasure!" + +"Wow, Lila, that sounds fun!" Ben says. "But how do we know where to go?" + +Lila points to a red X on the map. "See, this is where the treasure is. We just have to follow the map and we will get there." + +They take the map and some toys and go to the backyard. They pretend that the grass is the sea, the sandbox is the desert, and the swing is the mountain. They have a lot of fun, but they also get tired and hungry. + +"Are we there yet, Lila?" Ben asks. "I want the treasure!" + +Lila looks at the map and sees that they are close to the red X. "Almost, Ben, almost. We just have to cross this bridge and we will see the treasure." + +They run to the bridge, which is a plank of wood over a small stream. Lila goes first, holding the map. But as she steps on the bridge, it breaks and she falls into the water. The map gets wet and the colors run. + +"Help, Ben, help!" Lila cries. "The map is ruined!" + +Ben runs to the edge of the stream and sees Lila and the map. He feels sorry for his sister, but he also laughs. + +"Oh, Lila, you are so foolish!" Ben says. "That map is not real, it is just a picture. There is no treasure, it is just a game. And you are so wet, you weigh like a fish!" + +Lila feels angry and sad. She climbs out of the water and throws the map at Ben. "You are mean, Ben, mean! You should have told me the map is not real. You are not my friend anymore!" + +She runs to the house, leaving Ben alone. He looks at the map and feels bad. He wishes he had not laughed at Lila. He loves his sister and he wants to play with her again. + +He picks up the map and follows Lila. He knocks on the door and says, "Lila, I am sorry. I was foolish too. The map is not real, but it is still fun. Can we play again?" + +Lila opens the door and sees Ben. She sees that he is sorry and that he still has the map. She smiles and says, "Okay, Ben, I forgive you. We can play again. But this time, let's pretend that the map is a magic carpet and we can fly anywhere we want!" + +They hug and go back to the backyard. They spread the map on the grass and sit on it. They close their eyes and imagine that they are flying over the world. They see many colors and pictures of animals and places. They are happy and they forget about the bridge and the water. They are twins who like to play pretend. +Tom and Lily were two rabbits who liked to play in the forest. They loved to run, hop and jump on the grass and the rocks. One day, they saw a big cliff that looked very high and scary. Tom wanted to jump over the cliff, but Lily was afraid. + +"Come on, Lily, it will be fun!" Tom said. "We can see the whole forest from there. It will be lovely!" + +"No, Tom, it is too dangerous!" Lily said. "We might fall and hurt ourselves. Mama always told us to be careful and not go too far from home." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He was curious and brave. He ran and jumped over the cliff, hoping to land on the other side. But he did not. He jumped too short and fell down, down, down into the deep valley. He screamed and cried, but no one heard him. + +Lily was very sad and scared. She ran back to their home and told Mama what happened. Mama was very angry and worried. She told Lily to stay at home and went to look for Tom. She searched and searched, but she could not find him. She asked the birds, the squirrels and the foxes, but they did not see him. She feared that Tom was gone forever. + +Lily learned a hard lesson that day. She wished she had stopped Tom from jumping over the cliff. She wished she had listened to Mama and stayed close to home. She realized that being curious and brave was good, but being foolish and reckless was bad. She hoped that Tom was alive and safe, and that he would come back to her someday. She missed him very much. +Tom is a big boy. He likes to play with his cars and trucks. He has a red car that can go very fast. He feels powerful when he makes the car zoom and beep. + +One day, Tom wants to play with his car outside. He asks his mom if he can go. His mom says yes, but he has to wear his coat and hat. It is cold outside. Tom puts on his coat and hat and takes his car. He says bye to his mom and goes out. + +Tom sees a big hill. He thinks it will be fun to make his car go down the hill. He puts his car on the top of the hill and gives it a push. The car starts to roll down the hill. It goes faster and faster. Tom runs after it. He feels excited and happy. + +But then, something bad happens. The car hits a rock and flips over. It lands on the grass and stops. Tom reaches the bottom of the hill and sees his car. He feels sad and scared. He thinks his car is broken. He picks it up and looks at it. He sees a scratch on the side and a dent on the hood. He feels angry and sorry. + +He hears his mom calling him. She says it is time to go inside. Tom goes back to his mom with his car. He shows her his car and tells her what happened. His mom hugs him and says it is okay. She says his car is not broken, just a little hurt. She says she can fix it with some tape and paint. She says his car is still powerful and fast. She says she is proud of him for being brave and honest. Tom feels better and thankful. He says he loves his mom and his car. He goes inside with his mom and his car. He feels warm and safe. +Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like monkeys, elephants, and giraffes. They were very happy and excited. + +But when they came to the cage of the tiger, they saw a big, orange cat with black stripes. He was lying on the ground, not moving. He looked very sad and bored. + +"Mom, why is the tiger so miserable?" Lily asked. + +"Because he is not free, honey. He is trapped in a small space, and he has nothing to do. He misses his home in the forest, where he can run and hunt and play," mom said. + +"Can we help him, mom? Can we make him happy?" Tom asked. + +Mom shook her head. "No, we can't, sweetie. The zoo people try to take care of him, but they can't give him what he really needs. He needs to be in his own place, with his own kind." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for the tiger. They wanted to cheer him up. They waved at him, and called his name. They tried to make funny faces, and sing songs. But the tiger did not care. He did not look at them. He did not smile. He did not make any sound. He just stared at the wall, with his sad eyes. + +Tom and Lily felt sad, too. They wished they could do something for the tiger. They wished he could be free and happy. They wished they could be his friends. +Tim and Mia went to the big water with their mom and dad. They saw many fish and animals in the water. They liked the dolphins the most. The dolphins were gray and smooth. They jumped and played in the water. + +"Look, mom, the dolphins are joking!" Tim said. He pointed at a dolphin that made a funny sound and splashed water at another dolphin. + +"Yes, they are very funny and smart," mom said. "Do you want to go closer and say hello to them?" + +Tim and Mia nodded. They put on their life jackets and held their mom's and dad's hands. They walked to the edge of the water, where a man was waiting for them. The man had a whistle and some fish. + +"Hello, I'm Ben, and I work with the dolphins," the man said. "Do you want to meet them?" + +"Yes, please!" Tim and Mia said. + +Ben blew his whistle and two dolphins came near. They had names on their fins. One was called Luna and the other was called Max. + +"Hi, Luna and Max, these are Tim and Mia," Ben said. "They want to be your friends. Can you say hello to them?" + +Luna and Max made some sounds and nodded their heads. They looked at Tim and Mia with their big eyes. + +"Hello, Luna and Max, we like you," Tim and Mia said. They reached out their hands and touched the dolphins' noses. The dolphins felt soft and wet. + +Luna and Max liked Tim and Mia too. They smiled and gave them kisses. They also joked with them. They tickled them with their fins and made them laugh. They showed them how they jumped and spun in the air. + +Tim and Mia had a lot of fun with the dolphins. They forgot to be worried. They felt happy and brave. They thanked Ben and the dolphins for the wonderful time. They waved goodbye and went back to their mom and dad. + +"Did you enjoy meeting the dolphins?" mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, they were amazing!" Tim and Mia said. "They joked with us and kissed us and made us happy. Can we come back and see them again?" + +"Maybe someday, my loves," mom said. "But for now, let's go and have some ice cream. You deserve it." + +Tim and Mia smiled and hugged their mom and dad. They walked away from the big water, holding hands. They looked back and saw Luna and Max waving at them. They waved back and said, "Bye, dolphins, we love you!" +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many cars, trucks, and trains that they could drive on the floor. One day, they saw a big sack in the garage. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's open it and see," said Tom. + +"Maybe it's a surprise for us," said Sam. + +They pulled the sack and found a shiny new automobile. It was red and had four wheels and a horn. They were very happy and wanted to try it. + +"Wow, this is the best toy ever," said Tom. + +"Can I drive it first?" asked Sam. + +"No, I saw it first," said Tom. + +They started to fight over the automobile. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not share or take turns. They did not care about anything else. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the garage. She was very angry and sad. She took the automobile and the sack away from them. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "This is not a toy. This is a gift for your cousin. He is sick and needs a wheelchair. This automobile can help him move around. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You are not helpful. You are selfish." + +Tom and Sam felt very sorry. They realized they had been wrong. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. + +"Can we still give the automobile to our cousin?" asked Tom. + +"Of course, you can," said mom. "But you have to learn to be kind and generous. Sharing is caring. And being helpful is better than having things." + +Tom and Sam nodded. They decided to make a card and a drawing for their cousin. They hoped he would like the automobile and feel better. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be helpful. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big slide. They wanted to go on it. + +"Let's race to the top!" Tom said. "The first one to slide down is the winner!" + +"OK!" Lily said. "But be careful. The slide is very high and fast." + +They ran to the ladder and climbed up. Tom was faster than Lily. He reached the top first. + +"I win!" he shouted. He looked down at the slide. He saw something that made him scream. + +There was a tiger at the end of the slide. It was big and orange and black. It had sharp teeth and claws. It was scary. + +"Help!" Tom cried. "There is a tiger!" + +Lily heard Tom. She looked down too. She saw the tiger. She was scared too. + +"What do we do?" she asked. + +Tom thought quickly. He saw a rope next to the slide. It was for swinging. + +"Grab the rope!" he said. "We can swing over the tiger and run away!" + +He took the rope and swung over the slide. He landed on the grass. He was safe. + +"Come on, Lily!" he said. "You can do it!" + +Lily took the rope too. She swung over the slide. She landed next to Tom. She was safe too. + +They ran away from the tiger. They found their mom and dad. They told them what happened. + +"Wow, that was brave!" their mom said. "You are both winners!" + +The tiger was not real. It was a toy. Someone had left it there as a joke. But Tom and Lily did not know that. They were happy to be safe and together. They hugged each other. They were not scared anymore. +Lia and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red truck. They liked to fill the truck with rocks and drive it around the yard. + +One day, Lia asked Sam, "Can I lend your truck for a while? I want to make a rock castle." + +Sam said, "Okay, but be careful. Don't break it or lose it. It is my best toy." + +Lia said, "Thank you, Sam. I will be careful. I will give it back soon." + +Lia took the truck and drove it to a pile of rocks. She started to load the rocks into the truck. But some of the rocks were too big and did not fit. Lia tried to push them harder, but they still did not fit. She got angry and threw the rocks on the ground. One of the rocks hit the truck and made a dent. + +Lia felt bad. She had broken Sam's truck. She did not know what to do. She was afraid that Sam would be mad at her. She thought of hiding the truck or saying that it was not her fault. But then she remembered that Sam was her friend and that he had lent her his truck. She decided to tell him the truth and say sorry. + +She drove the truck back to Sam and showed him the dent. She said, "Sam, I am sorry. I broke your truck. I was trying to make a rock castle, but some of the rocks did not fit. I got angry and threw them. One of them hit your truck. I should have been more careful. Can you forgive me?" + +Sam looked at his truck and felt sad. He liked his truck very much. But he also liked Lia. He knew that she was sorry and that she had told him the truth. He said, "Lia, I am sad that you broke my truck. But I am glad that you told me the truth. That was brave and honest. I forgive you. We can still be friends. Maybe we can fix the truck together." + +Lia smiled and hugged Sam. She said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. I am sorry that I broke your truck. I will help you fix it. And next time, I will be more careful with your toys." + +The moral of the story is: Be honest and respectful when you borrow something from someone. If you break it, tell the truth and say sorry. And try to make it right. +Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They make towers and houses and cars with them. But they have only ten blocks, and they want more. + +One day, they see a big box of blocks in the park. It has many colors and shapes. Sara and Ben run to the box and start to take some blocks. + +"Hey, those are mine!" a voice says. Sara and Ben look up and see a boy standing near them. He is angry and has a frown on his face. + +"No, they are not. They are ours now. We found them first," Sara says. + +"That's not fair. I brought them from home. I was just going to the bathroom. Give them back!" the boy says. + +Sara and Ben are nervous. They don't want to give back the blocks, but they don't want to fight with the boy. They look at each other and don't know what to do. + +What do you think Sara and Ben should do? How can they solve the problem? +Anna liked to explore the big house where she lived with her mom and dad. She found many interesting things, like shiny buttons, soft blankets and colorful books. Sometimes she also found scary things, like loud noises, dark corners and cobwebs. + +One day, she decided to look for new things in the attic. She climbed the stairs very carefully and opened the door. She saw a lot of old stuff, like boxes, chairs and clothes. She also saw a lot of cobwebs, hanging from the ceiling and the walls. She thought they looked like white strings, but she did not want to touch them. + +She walked around the attic, looking for something fun to play with. She found a big teddy bear, wearing a hat and a scarf. She hugged him and said, "Hello, Mr. Bear. Do you want to be my friend?" She put him on a chair and pretended to have a tea party with him. She gave him a cup and a cookie and talked to him. + +She was having a lot of fun, but she also felt very tired. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She said, "Mr. Bear, I think I need a nap. Do you want to nap with me?" She looked for a cozy place to sleep. She saw a big quilt, folded on a shelf. She took it and spread it on the floor. She lay down on it and covered herself and Mr. Bear with it. She said, "Good night, Mr. Bear. I love you." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. + +She did not hear her mom calling her name. She did not hear her mom climbing the stairs and opening the door. She did not hear her mom saying, "There you are, Anna. I was looking for you. What are you doing here?" She did not hear her mom smiling and saying, "You look so cute, sleeping with your new friend. You must have had a very interesting day." She did not hear her mom picking her up and carrying her downstairs. She only heard her mom whispering, "Sweet dreams, my darling." She only felt her mom kissing her cheek. She only felt happy and safe. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with many fish and shrimp. They wanted to catch some and take them home. + +"Let's use this net and this bucket," Tom said. "We can catch many fish and shrimp and show them to mom and dad." + +"OK, but we have to be careful," Mia said. "We have to promise not to hurt them or make them sad. We have to put them back in the pond after we look at them." + +Tom and Mia nodded and made a pinky promise. They went to the pond and started to catch some fish and shrimp. They put them in the bucket and looked at them with wonder. They saw many colors and shapes and sizes. + +But then, a big boy came and saw their bucket. He was rude and mean. He grabbed the bucket and dumped all the fish and shrimp on the ground. He laughed and ran away. + +Tom and Mia were shocked and sad. They saw the fish and shrimp flopping and gasping on the grass. They tried to pick them up and put them back in the pond, but some were already dead. + +"Why did he do that?" Tom cried. "He was so rude and bad. He broke our promise." + +"I don't know," Mia sobbed. "He was so mean and cruel. He hurt our fish and shrimp." + +Tom and Mia hugged each other and said sorry to the fish and shrimp. They wished they could make them happy again. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be kind and gentle to all living things. They learned to keep their promises. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a lot of snow falling from the sky. They put on their warm coats, hats, gloves and boots and ran outside. They wanted to make a snowman. + +They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot, a scarf, a hat and some buttons to decorate their snowman. They gave him a smile and a name: Bob. + +"Bob is very attractive," Lily said. "He looks happy and friendly." + +"Yes, he does," Max agreed. "But I wonder what he thinks of the snow." + +They decided to ask Bob. They leaned close to his face and said: "Hello, Bob. Do you like the snow?" + +Bob did not answer. He just stood there, silent and still. + +Lily and Max were puzzled. They thought maybe Bob was shy or cold. They decided to give him a hug and a kiss. + +But as they hugged and kissed Bob, they felt something wet and cold on their faces. They looked up and saw that Bob was melting. The sun had come out and was shining on him. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Bob is going away!" + +"Quick, let's move him to a shady place!" Max said. + +They tried to lift Bob, but he was too heavy and slippery. They could only watch as he became smaller and smaller. + +They felt sad and sorry.

They had many toys and books and a big lamp that made their room bright. But sometimes they fought over who got to play with what. One day, they both wanted to play with the same puzzle. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +"Give me the puzzle, it's mine!" Ben said. + +"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Lily said. + +They were so busy fighting that they did not see their mom come in. She was not happy. She took the puzzle away and said, "Enough! You need to learn to share and settle your problems. No more puzzle for you today. You can play with something else or read a book. And be quiet, your dad is working." + +She left the room and turned off the lamp. Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They did not want to play with anything else or read a book.

Good night, my sweet twins." + +She kissed them and tucked them in. They said good night and turned off the lamp. They closed their eyes and dreamed of puzzles and lamps and brilliant things. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with pots and pans. They also liked to explore the drawers and cabinets and see what they could find. + +One day, they saw a shiny metal thing under the sink. It had a hole in the middle and a chain attached to it. Lily was very nosy and wanted to know what it was. She grabbed the chain and pulled it hard. + +"Stop, Lily!" Tom said. "That's the drain. Mommy said we should never touch it. It can make the water go away and make a big mess." + +But Lily did not listen. She pulled the chain harder and harder, until she heard a loud click. Suddenly, water started to spray out of the hole and all over the kitchen. Lily and Tom screamed and ran away. + +Mommy heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the water everywhere and the drain open. She was very angry and sad. She turned off the water and looked for Lily and Tom. She found them hiding in the living room. + +"Lily and Tom, what did you do?" Mommy asked. "You broke the drain and flooded the kitchen. You could have hurt yourselves or ruined the house. You are very naughty and you have to go to your rooms right now. No more playing for you today." + +Lily and Tom felt very sorry and scared. They knew they had done a bad thing. They wished they had listened to Tom and not touched the drain. They went to their rooms and cried. They learned their lesson and never played with the drain again. +Lily loved ponies.

Lily said. + +"Okay, let's go to the kitchen and get the ingredients." Mom said. + +They went to the kitchen and found flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and carrots. Mom showed Lily how to measure, mix, and pour the batter into a pan. She put the pan in the oven and set the timer. + +"Baking a cake is fun, but it is also difficult. You have to be careful and follow the steps." Mom said. + +"I know, Mom. I want to make a good cake for Sugar." Lily said. + +They waited for the cake to bake. Lily drew a picture of Sugar on a paper. She used crayons to color her mane and tail. She also wrote "Happy Birthday Sugar" with big letters. + +The timer beeped. Mom took the cake out of the oven and let it cool. She helped Lily frost the cake with cream cheese and sprinkle some carrot shreds on top. They put the cake on a plate and brought it to Lily's room. + +"Happy birthday, Sugar!" Lily said. She hugged her toy pony and gave her a slice of cake. "I hope you like it. I baked it with Mom." + +Sugar did not say anything, but Lily knew she was happy. She smiled and ate her own slice of cake. She shared it with Mom, who kissed her on the cheek. + +"You are a very good baker, Lily. And a very good friend to Sugar." Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom. I love you and Sugar." Lily said. +Lily loved to go to the park with her mom. She liked to see the birds, the flowers, and the big fountain. The fountain made a loud noise and sprayed water high in the air.

She thought she was big enough and independent enough to play by herself. She did not tell her mom. She ran away from her mom and towards the fountain. + +Her mom did not see her. She was busy talking to another mom. Lily reached the fountain and put her hand in the water. It was cold and wet, just like her mom said. But it was also fun. She giggled and splashed more.

It made her cry. She was scared and wet and cold. She wanted her mom. She looked around and saw her mom running towards her. Her mom was worried and angry. She hugged Lily and scolded her. She said Lily was naughty and careless. She said Lily could have been hurt or lost. + +Lily felt sorry and sad. She said she was sorry and she loved her mom. She said she just wanted to have fun. Her mom said she loved her too, but she had to listen and be careful. She said the fountain was not a toy. She said they had to go home and change. Lily nodded and held her mom's hand. She learned her lesson. She decided she did not like the fountain anymore. She liked her mom more. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big tub of water and some paper. They like to splash the water and make the paper wet. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, Lily sees a big bee. She is scared of bees. She thinks they are dangerous. She screams and runs away. Ben does not see the bee. He thinks Lily is playing a game. He splashes more water at her. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" Lily cries. "There is a bee! It can sting me!" + +Ben looks up and sees the bee. He is scared too. He drops the paper and runs after Lily. The bee follows them. + +They run into the house and slam the door. They are safe. They hug each other and breathe hard. + +"Sorry, Lily," Ben says. "I did not know there was a bee. I was just having fun." + +"It's okay, Ben," Lily says. "I know you did not mean to splash me. But we have to be careful. Bees are dangerous." + +They look out the window and see the bee fly away. They also see the paper on the ground. It is wet and torn. + +"Oh no, our paper!" they say. "It is ruined!" + +They feel sad. They like their paper. They wanted to make something with it. + +"Maybe we can find some new paper," Ben says. "And play with something else. Something that does not splash." + +"Like crayons?" Lily says. + +"Yes, like crayons," Ben says. "That sounds fun." + +They smile and go to find some crayons. They forget about the bee and the water. They are happy again. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a bee. She was happy. She wanted to show Max. + +"Look, Max, I found a bee!" she said, holding the bee in her hand. + +Max was scared. He did not like bees. He thought they were mean and stingy. He wanted Lily to let go of the bee. + +"Let go of the bee, Lily! It will hurt you!" he said, backing away. + +Lily did not listen. She liked the bee. She thought it was pretty and fuzzy. She wanted to keep it as a pet. + +"No, Max, the bee is nice. It will not hurt me. It is my friend!" she said, holding the bee closer. + +The bee did not like being held. It was angry and scared. It wanted to fly away. It felt Lily's hand squeeze it. It tried to defend itself. It stung Lily's hand. + +Lily screamed. She felt a sharp pain in her hand. She dropped the bee. She saw a red bump on her hand. It was hot and spicy. She started to cry. + +Max ran to Lily. He felt sorry for her. He knew the bee hurt her. He wanted to help her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. The bee was bad. It destroyed your hand. Let me get some ice for you." he said, hugging her. + +Lily nodded. She was sad and sore. She did not like the bee anymore.

They also have a red hat and a whistle, like real train drivers. + +One day, they see a big cloud of steam coming from the kitchen. They run to see what it is. They find Mom making soup on the stove. The steam is hot and makes the air wet. + +"Wow, look at the steam!" Lily says. "Can we touch it?" + +"No, no, you can't touch it. It will hurt you. It's very hot," Mom says. "You have to be careful around the stove. It can burn you." + +"Can we play with it?" Ben asks. "Can we make shapes with it?" + +"No, no, you can't play with it. It will go away soon. It's just water that gets hot and turns into air," Mom says. "You can play with your train. It has steam too, but it's not real. It's just pretend." + +Lily and Ben go back to their train. They see that their train has a little hole that makes steam. They blow on it and make it bigger. They laugh and have fun. + +"Look, our train has steam too!" Lily says. "But it's not hot. It's cool." + +"Yeah, our train is cool. And it's nice. It doesn't hurt us," Ben says. "We love our train." + +They hug their train and each other. They are compassionate.

I have never seen a dog like this before," Tom says. + +"Me neither. It is very pretty," Sue says. + +They hear a yell. It is the dog's owner. He is angry. + +"Hey, get away from my dog! He is not for you to pet. He is a show dog. He has to stay clean and neat," the owner yells. + +Tom and Sue are scared. They let go of the dog. They run away. + +"Sorry, mister. We did not know," Tom says. + +The owner grabs the dog's leash. He pulls the dog away. He is still yelling. + +Tom and Sue are sad. They liked the dog.

He picks it up and puts it on his head. "I am a pirate!" + +Lily laughs. "No, you are not. Pirates have eye patches and swords. And that skull is too big for you.

He broke my car. I broke his car. He hit me. I hit him." Ben and Sam say. + +Mom shakes her head. She is disappointed. + +"That is not how you play. That is not how you treat your cars.

They put their hands inside and felt the powder. It was cold and smooth. They smiled and giggled. + +"Look, we can make shapes with it," Max said. He made a ball and threw it to Lily. She caught it and threw it back. + +They had fun with the powder. They made snowmen and stars and hearts. They sprinkled some on their hair and clothes.
