After a few moments, the mouse finally said, "All right, you can stay. But don't cause any trouble!" + +The bird was so happy, it flew down to the front door and settled inside the house. The mouse and the bird lived together peacefully and happily ever after. +Once upon a time there was a fairy. She was very thin and was always flying around.

That's why it's here." + +Joe replied, "Oh, okay. Thank you for explaining it to me!" + +The driver smiled and nodded. + +The bus soon arrived at the station on time without any delays. Joe smiled to himself, thankful that he had made it just in time. +Once upon a time, there was an adorable round ball.

The wolf thought to himself, "Ha! I can always find food right here in the forest." But deep down, he knew the hunter was right. + +That night, the wolf went out and tried to find food. But he was too lazy, and couldn't find anything. It was too dark to look, so the wolf had to give up and go back home. + +The next morning, the hunter came back with his spear.

He asked his mom and she told him it was too mild for her. John felt so sad and he started to frown. + +He looked for the cocoa all over the house, but he couldn't find it. Finally, he stopped and sat down on the floor. He wished he could have some cocoa, but it was nowhere to be found. + +John had no choice but to go back to his room and dream of his delicious hot cocoa. This time it didn't make him smile.

She thought she was so lucky, and she thanked the shopkeeper as she left. + +But when the girl reached home, she realised that it was wrong to take the stuff without paying for it. She knew she should have asked the shopkeeper if she could work to pay for it, not just take it. Instead she felt worried and guilty. It was a bad ending to her experience. + +This story shows us an important lesson - never take something without paying for it. Doing so is wrong and will only bring a bad ending. +Once upon a time, there was a dry stream in the forest.

They wanted to marry each other, but they lived in two different yards. One bird lived in the front yard, while the other lived in the back yard. + +The bird in the front yard said to the bird in the back yard, "Let's marry, even though we can't be together all the time". + +The bird in the back yard thought for a moment and then replied, "No, I don't want to marry you if we can't be together all the time. We need to be independent". + +The bird in the front yard was very sad, so he flew away. But then, he had an idea. He looked for a big lawn and planted all sorts of seeds in it. Soon, a big and beautiful lawn was created. + +The bird in the front yard invited the bird in the back yard to his beautiful lawn. As soon as the birds saw the lawn, they were so happy and finally decided to marry. + +The moral of this story is that, even if things don't turn out the way you had envisioned, it's always worth striving for, and enough effort can sometimes turn an unpleasant situation into a beautiful one. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Freya. Freya had a special leather suitcase her mother gave her for her birthday. Everyone admired it, as it was so beautiful, soft and shiny. + +On the night before Freya's birthday, she heard a terrible noise outside. She peered out the window and saw a flash of light in the night sky. Fearful, she tucked herself back in bed and wept. + +The next morning, when Freya woke up, she was thrilled to see her brand-new suitcase. She ran outside, suitcase in hand, to join the party. Everyone thought it was so sparkling and new. That is, until her brother opened it and out jumped a fox! + +The fox had been in the suitcase all night and Freya was so sad. As everyone shouted and ran away, Freya wept for the fox she had to leave behind. + +The next time Freya looked out the window, she saw the fox in the night sky, as if in a dream. She knew it was a warning not to forget its terrible fate. +Once there was a little girl named Susie. She was playing in the park one day when she saw the most amazing thing - a party! Susie was so excited to go, but she had to be careful. She didn't want to go too close without permission. + +Susie wondered what kind of party it was. Was it a birthday party? Was it a surprise party? What was everybody doing? Susie wanted to find out so badly. + +Susie crept closer and closer, being extra careful not to be noticed. When she got close enough, Susie saw that it was a surprise party. Everyone was so surprised to see the guest of honor. + +Suddenly, Susie felt a hand on her shoulder - it was the park guard. He asked her what she was doing so close to the party. Susie said she was just curious and wanted to find out what was happening. The park guard said that it was not okay and made Susie go home. + +Susie was so sad. She had wanted to go to the party so badly, but she was not allowed. She learned that it was important to be careful when exploring new things. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy and girl who lived on a farm. One day, they decided to take a walk and explore the forest. As they were walking, the sky got very dark. Suddenly, they could hear loud thunder coming from the sky. + +The little boy was scared and started to cry. The little girl comforted her brother and said, "Don't be scared. It's just fake thunder." + +The little boy stopped crying and asked, "Fake thunder? What does that mean?" + +The little girl said, "It means that even if something seems scary, it doesn't mean we have to be afraid. Just like the fake thunder, sometimes our fears are nothing to worry about. It's like when you pretend to speak in a loud voice and it's not real." + +The little boy smiled and said, "You're right. I'm not scared anymore." + +So, the little boy and girl learned that when you are feeling scared, it doesn't necessarily mean you should be. And instead of feeling afraid, it's better to take the time to understand what’s really going on and how it can be dealt with. +One morning, a family looked out their window to see a rich sunrise. The bright, orange rays filled the room with warmth and beauty. The family felt happy and relaxed. + +Suddenly, an evil giant appeared and grabbed the sunrise.

He wanted to fly high and explore the world. One day he finally got the courage to try. + +He flapped his wings and flew up, up and away. He flew over a big, ancient valley. It was full of trees, rocks and wild animals. + +As he flew further, Johnny noticed a cave in the side of the valley. He stopped and peeped inside. + +There sat a little hare. Johnny said, "Hi! I'm Johnny, the little bird. I'm flying around the valley. What are you doing here?" + +The hare replied, "I'm waiting for the sunset. I love to watch the sun set in the ancient valley. Will you join me?" + +Johnny flew down and settled on the ground next to the hare. Together they watched the sun turn the valley a deep red. Then the stars began to twinkle in the night sky. + +Johnny felt something he had never felt before, a feeling of peace and harmony.

She looked up and saw an old man. He said his name was Jack, and asked if Lucy wanted to learn some special yoga moves. Lucy was excited and said yes! + +Jack taught her a very complex move. He told her to keep practicing it until she got it just right. But try as she might, Lucy couldn't do it. Every time she tried, she fell over and hurt herself. + +Jack got impatient and told Lucy to get out of his sight. His face had become hard and his voice filled with anger. Lucy was scared and ran away, tears streaming down her face. + +The End. +Once upon a time there was a boy called Joe. Joe loved playing outside but today he was feeling very bored. He wanted to make something unusual. + +He told his mum, "Let's bury the tire in the ground Mum." Mum said, "That's an unusual idea Joe but okay, let's do it". + +So, Joe and his mum took the tire out into the garden and found a big hole. Joe filled it with sand and then pushed the tire into it. Joe was delighted, "Look Mum, I buried the tire all by myself." + +Mum said, "That was great work Joe, I'm so proud of you." Joe was happy and said, "Let's play hide and seek with the tire now!" + +And from then on Joe and Mum played hide and seek with the tire, and Joe always thought of how unusual and fun it was to bury the tire. +Once upon a time there was a wealthy family.

He was eager to explore all the places marked on the map. But little did he know, the map was from a desert that was very hot. + +He and his friends began to trace the map with their fingers, mentioning the yet-to-be explored places. Johnny expressed his excitement, mentioning how he wanted to see the hot desert. + +But the heat was too much to handle—the desert was much hotter than anyone had expected. Johnny and his friends were becoming very hot, feeling the heat beat down on them. As they started to run away, Johnny thought he heard someone mention a magical oasis would be right around the corner. + +Unfortunately, the oasis never came, and Johnny and his friends were left in the desert, hot, thirsty and very scared. +Once there was a boy named Jack and he was very excited. Jack was about to race his friends! He raced away, pumping his legs and breathing hard. He could see his friends far away, and he raced faster. Steam came from his mouth as he moved. + +"Jack, wait up!" his friends called. But Jack was having too much fun to stop. He raced around the corner, wanting to reach the end of the track first. + +Then, Jack noticed something delicious. He stopped in his tracks and smelled it: a freshly baked pie. He looked up and saw that his friends had stopped too. + +"Let's eat the pie," they said. Jack smiled, happy to be able to share the delicious treat with his friends. They had a tasty lunch, and then they raced back home. +Once upon a time, there was a quiet animal. His name was Bob. Bob liked to joke around and make everyone laugh. One day, he came across a young girl. + +The little girl asked Bob, "What do you like to do?" +Bob said, "I like to joke around and make people laugh!" + +The little girl said, "That sounds fun! Can you tell me a joke?" + +Bob thought for a moment, and then said, "Why did the animal go to the party? To have fun!" + +The little girl laughed so hard! She said, "That was a great joke!" + +Bob smiled and said, "Anytime!" + +The little girl and Bob said goodbye, and Bob continued on his way, still making everyone laugh with his jokes! +Grandpa was visiting with his grandson.

"It is fun and easy!" + +Sara and Tom are curious. They like to help Mom sometimes. They follow Mom to the kitchen. + +Mom shows them how to dry the dishes with the towel and the hair dryer.

It was a mirror. + +The mirror was hard and cold. It did not taste good. Sara spat it out. She saw her face in the mirror. She saw a big cut on her lip. It hurt. She cried. + +Mom heard Sara cry. She ran to the room. She saw the mirror and the chair and the blood. She was scared. She hugged Sara and said, "Oh, no, Sara, you are hurt. The mirror is dangerous. It can break and cut you. You should not drink from the mirror. You should drink from the cup." + +She took Sara to the bathroom. She cleaned her lip and put a band-aid on it. She gave her a cup of water. Sara drank the water. It was good. She said, "Sorry, Mom. I was thirsty. I thought the mirror was water." + +Mom said, "It's okay, Sara. I know you were thirsty. But you have to be careful. The mirror is not water. It is for looking, not for drinking. Next time, ask me for water. I love you, Sara." + +Sara said, "I love you, Mom. Thank you for the water and the band-aid. Can I look in the mirror again?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can look in the mirror. But only with me. And only with your eyes, not with your mouth." +Tom is a big boy. He goes to school with his friends.

It bumps into Lily's small red dinosaur and makes it fall too. They roll and tumble and crash and smash. They knock down the books and pillows and blankets and chairs. They make a big mess and a big noise. + +Tom and Lily are scared and sad. They think their dinosaurs are hurt. They run to them and pick them up. They check their eyes and teeth and tails and feet. They see some scratches and dents and tears and stains. + +"Oh no, our dinosaurs are serious!" Tom says. + +"What can we do?" Lily asks. + +They think hard and fast. They remember what their mom does when they are serious. They get some bandages and stickers and glue and paint. They wrap and stick and glue and paint their dinosaurs. They make them look better and feel better. + +"There, our dinosaurs are not serious anymore!" Lily says. + +"They are happy and strong and brave and beautiful!" Tom says. + +They hug their dinosaurs and each other. They are happy and proud and sorry and careful. They clean up the mess and the noise. They put their dinosaurs on a soft and safe place. They say sorry to their mom and thank you to their dad. They promise to be more careful next time. + +They love their dinosaurs and their dinosaurs love them. They are the best friends ever. +Tom was a little boy who liked to eat waffles. He ate them every morning with his mom and dad.

Can I have a bite?" + +"Hi, I'm Lily," she said. "I like waffles too. Sure, you can have a bite." She broke off a piece of her waffle and gave it to Tom. It was warm and crispy and had chocolate on it. + +"Wow, this is a good waffle," Tom said. "Thank you, Lily. You are very nice." + +"Thank you, Tom. You are very charming," Lily said. They smiled at each other and slid down the slide together. They became friends and shared their waffles and played in the park. Tom was happy he met Lily. He thought she was the best waffle friend ever. +Lily and Max like to play with blocks. They make different structures with the blocks. Sometimes they make towers, sometimes they make houses, sometimes they make bridges. They are eager to see how high or long or strong they can make their structures. + +One day, they decide to make a big structure together. They use all the blocks they have. They make a tall tower with a bridge and a house on top. They are very proud of their structure. They want to show it to their mom and dad. + +But before they can call them, a big wind comes. The wind is very strong. It moves the blocks. It makes the tower shake. It makes the bridge sway. It makes the house tilt. Lily and Max are scared. They hold each other's hands. They hope their structure will not fall. + +The wind blows harder and harder. The blocks move more and more. The tower wobbles. The bridge snaps. The house slides. Lily and Max watch as their structure falls down. They are sad. They worked hard to make their structure. They cry. + +Their mom and dad hear them cry. They come to see what is wrong. They see the blocks on the floor. They see the broken structure. They see Lily and Max's tears. They hug them. They tell them they are sorry. They tell them they are proud of them.

They are eager to make a new structure. They pick up the blocks. They start to build again. +Lily loved to watch TV. She liked to see the animals, the songs and the stories. But she had to share the TV with her brother Tom. Tom liked to watch cars, robots and games. Sometimes they fought over the TV. + +One day, Mom said they had to go to the store. She said they could watch TV when they came back. She said they had to be good and not touch anything in the store. She said some things were delicate and could break easily. She said they had to promise to listen to her. + +Lily and Tom nodded and said they promised. They got in the car and went to the store. Mom gave them each a basket and told them to help her find some things. Lily and Tom liked to help Mom. They put some apples, some bread and some milk in their baskets. + +But then Lily saw something shiny. It was a necklace with a pink heart. Lily loved pink. She wanted to see the necklace.

It has a button on the side. Tom picks it up and says, "Wow, look at this gun! It is the best gun ever! I want to play with it!" + +Ben says, "No, it is my turn to choose a gun. You always get the best guns. Give it to me!" + +Tom says, "No, I found it first. It is mine!" + +They start to fight over the gun. They pull and tug and shout. They do not see their mom coming into the room. She sees them fighting and says, "Stop it, boys! What are you doing? That is not a toy gun! That is daddy's gun! He forgot to put it away. It is very dangerous! You could hurt yourself or each other!" + +She takes the gun away from them and puts it on a high shelf. She says, "You are not allowed to touch this gun ever again. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Ben nod. They feel scared and sorry. They say, "Yes, mom. We understand. We are sorry." + +Mom says, "You should be sorry. You should also be careful. Guns are not toys. They are for grown-ups only. Now, finish your play and put away your toy guns. Then, come downstairs for lunch." + +Tom and Ben say, "OK, mom." They finish their play and put away their toy guns. They hug each other and say, "I love you, brother." + +They go downstairs for lunch. They are happy to be safe and together.

Lily asked. + +"Let's go and see," Tom said. + +They sailed their boats closer to the new boat. They saw a boy sitting on the shore, holding a remote control. He had a mean look on his face. + +"Hi, we are Lily and Tom. What is your name?" Lily said. + +The boy did not answer. He pressed a button and made his boat zoom past Lily and Tom's boats. He made his horn beep loudly and his flag wave. + +"Hey, that's rude!" Tom said. "You almost hit our boats!" + +The boy laughed. He pressed another button and made his boat spray water at Lily and Tom. They got wet and cold. + +"Stop that!" Lily said. "That's not nice!" + +The boy did not stop. He kept spraying water and beeping his horn. He made his boat go around and around Lily and Tom's boats. He made them spin and tip over. + +Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They did not like the boy or his boat. They wanted to play with their boats, not get wet and dizzy. + +They had an idea. They waited until the boy was not looking. Then they grabbed their boats and ran away. They went to another pond, where there were no rude boys or boats. They sailed their boats again and had fun. + +They discovered a new place to play. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Sara has a big box of toys. She has dolls, cars, blocks and books. Ben has a small bag of toys. He has a ball, a truck, a teddy and a puzzle. + +One day, Sara and Ben go to Sara's house to play. Sara shows Ben her toys. She says, "These are my toys. They have labels. See? This is Sara's doll.

Sara says, "No. They are mine. You have your own toys. Play with them." Ben feels sad. He does not like Sara's answer. He thinks Sara is not nice. He says, "But I want to play with your toys. They are fun. Please share with me." Sara says, "No. Go away. Leave me alone." Ben feels angry. He does not want to go away. He wants to stay and play. + +Ben sees Sara's book. It has a picture of a princess on the cover. Ben likes princesses. He wants to see the book. He tries to take the book from Sara. Sara sees Ben. She says, "Stop! That is my book. Give it back!" Ben says, "No. I want to see it. It is not fair. You have so many toys. I have so few." Sara and Ben pull the book. They tug and tug. They do not share. They do not listen. They do not care. + +The book rips. Sara and Ben hear a loud sound. They look at the book. It is torn in half. Sara and Ben feel shocked. They feel sorry. They feel bad. They look at each other. They say, "Oh no. What have we done?" They see tears in their eyes. They see hurt in their hearts. They see a broken book. They see a broken friendship. +Lily liked to mark on the wall with her crayons. She made big marks and small marks, red marks and blue marks, happy marks and sad marks. She did not care if Mommy and Daddy got mad. She was stubborn and wanted to mark on the wall. + +One day, Mommy and Daddy saw Lily's marks on the wall. They were very mad. They said, "Lily, you are a bad girl. You cannot mark on the wall. You have to mark on paper. The wall is not for marks. You have to clean the wall now." + +Lily did not want to clean the wall. She said, "No, no, no. I like my marks. They are pretty. I do not want to mark on paper. Paper is boring. I want to mark on the wall." + +Mommy and Daddy said, "Lily, you are being stubborn. You have to listen to us. We are your parents. We love you, but we do not love your marks on the wall. They are messy and ugly. You have to clean the wall or you will get a time out." + +Lily did not want to get a time out. She did not like to sit in the corner and be quiet. She liked to mark and make noise. She thought for a moment. Then she said, "OK, OK, OK. I will clean the wall. But can I keep one mark? The one with the star. It is my start. I like my start. It is special." + +Mommy and Daddy looked at the mark with the star. It was small and cute. They smiled and said, "OK, Lily. You can keep your start. But only one. And you have to clean the rest of the wall. And you have to promise to never mark on the wall again. Only on paper. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I understand. I promise. I will clean the wall. And I will mark on paper. But I will keep my start. Thank you, Mommy and Daddy." + +Mommy and Daddy hugged Lily and said, "You are welcome, Lily. We are proud of you. You are a good girl. We love you and your start." +Jill was restless. She wanted to play with her new pink bike, but Mom said she had to wait.

I need some time to finish the cake." + +Jill went to her room, but she did not want to play with her toys. She wanted to play with her bike. She looked out the window and saw the sun shining. She saw other kids riding their bikes on the street. She had an idea. She put on her helmet and snuck out of the house with her bike. + +She was happy to feel the wind on her face as she pedaled. She felt like a big girl. She saw a hill and decided to go up. She pushed hard and harder. She wanted to succeed. She wanted to reach the top. She did not see the car coming from the other side. + +The car honked and braked. Jill was scared and lost her balance. She fell off her bike and scraped her knee. She started to cry. The driver got out of the car and ran to her. He said, "Are you okay, little girl? Where is your mom? You should not be riding alone on the street. It is dangerous." + +Jill felt ashamed and sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mister. I wanted to play with my bike. Mom was busy. I did not mean to cause trouble." + +The driver was kind and helped her up. He said, "It's okay, little girl. I'm glad you are not hurt badly. But you should listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you. Let me take you home and talk to her." + +He put her bike in his car and drove her home.

They had many toys and books, but they liked to make their own games. Lily was the teacher and Max was the student. She had a big board and a marker.

He lifted a box, a lamp, a hat and a ball. + +One day, he saw something shiny in the corner. He wanted to lift it and see what it was. He walked over and reached for it. But it was not a thing. It was a cobweb. A big, sticky cobweb. It stuck to his hand and his hair and his face. He tried to pull it off, but it only got worse. He felt something tickle his nose. He looked and saw a spider. A big, black spider. He screamed and ran out of the attic. + +His dad and mom heard him and came to see what was wrong. They saw him covered in cobweb and spider. They were not angry. They were worried. They helped him get rid of the cobweb and the spider. They hugged him and told him it was okay. They said he was brave to play in the attic. + +But Tom felt embarrassed. He did not want to play in the attic anymore. He did not want to lift things anymore. He did not like cobwebs and spiders. He wanted to play with his toys and books downstairs. He wanted to forget about the shiny thing in the corner. He hoped it was not a treasure. He hoped it was just a cobweb. +Ben and Mia like to draw with ink. They have many colors of ink: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They use a big key to unlock the box where they keep the ink.

I won't do it again. I regret playing with the rice." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I love you, Lily. But you have to be careful and respectful. Rice is food, not a toy. We need rice to live.

It is very good," she says. + +"Thank you. It is very hot," Tom says. + +He takes a sip and makes a face. He does not like tea. He likes juice or milk. + +"Can we play something else?" he asks. + +"No, this is fun. We have to finish our tea and then we can have some cookies," Lily says. + +She takes a bite of a cookie and smiles. She likes cookies. + +Tom looks at the cookie and thinks. He has an idea. He lies to Lily. + +"Look, there is a spider on the window!" he says. + +Lily screams and drops her cookie. She looks at the window and sees nothing. + +"Where? Where is the spider?" she asks. + +Tom grabs her cookie and eats it. He laughs. + +"There is no spider. I lied. I wanted your cookie," he says. + +Lily is very angry. She hits Tom with her pillow. + +"That is not nice! You are a bad brother! You lied to me!" she says. + +Tom feels sorry. He sees that Lily is sad. He gives her his cup of tea. + +"I'm sorry. I was just joking. Here, you can have my tea. I don't like it anyway," he says. + +Lily takes the cup and smiles. She forgives Tom. + +"Thank you. You are a good brother. I like tea," she says. + +They hug and make up. They decide to play something else. They are different, but they love each other. They have fun in the tent. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to explore. One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. They saw a big hill with many trees and flowers.
