It made big waves that crashed on the shore. Anna and Ben were scared of the waves. They did not want to go near them. + +"Come on, Anna, let's make a sandcastle!" Ben said. He took his bucket and shovel and started to dig. Anna followed him, but she looked at the water nervously. She saw a big wave coming closer and closer. + +"Ben, watch out!" Anna shouted. She grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the water. But it was too late. The wave was too fast and too strong. It washed over them and knocked them down.

They were wet and cold and miserable. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, I'm sorry, Ben," mom said. "The waves are too big today. We should have stayed away from them. Let's go back to the car and get some dry clothes and snacks." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They were glad that mom and dad were there. They did not like the waves anymore. They wanted to go home. + +As they walked to the car, they saw a big sign that said: "Warning: High Tide. Dangerous Waves. Stay Away." Mom and dad looked at each other and sighed. They wished they had seen the sign earlier. They had learned a hard lesson. + +But as they drove away, they saw something that made them smile. On a hill, there was a big lion statue. It had a fierce face and a long mane. It looked like it was roaring at the waves. Anna and Ben pointed at it and laughed. + +"Look, mom, look, dad!" Anna said. "The lion is not scared of the waves. He is roaring at them. He is telling them to go away." + +"Yes, he is," dad said. "He is very brave and strong. Maybe we can be like him next time.

They were happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big basket of prunes on the table. Prunes were sweet and wrinkly fruits that their grandma gave them sometimes. + +"Let's have some prunes!" Ben said. + +"Yes, let's!" Lily agreed. + +They took the basket and ran to the garden. They found a shady spot under a tree and started to eat the prunes. They ate and ate until their mouths were sticky and their tummies were full. + +But they did not know that the prunes were for grandma's pie. Grandma was in the kitchen, looking for the prunes. She wanted to make a pie for dessert. She saw the empty basket and frowned. + +"Where are my prunes?" she asked. + +She looked out of the window and saw Ben and Lily under the tree. They had prune juice on their faces and hands. They looked very happy and silly. + +"Ben! Lily! Come here!" grandma called. + +Ben and Lily heard grandma's voice and felt scared.

They dropped the basket and hurried to the house. + +"Sorry, grandma, we ate your prunes," Ben said. + +"We did not know they were for your pie," Lily said. + +Grandma looked at them and sighed. She was not very angry, but she was disappointed. + +"That was not nice, Ben and Lily. You should have asked me first. Now I have no prunes for my pie," she said. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and hugged grandma. + +"We are sorry, grandma. We love you and your pie," they said. + +Grandma smiled and hugged them back. + +"I love you too, Ben and Lily. But next time, please do not eat my prunes. They are good for you, but too many can make you sick," she said. + +Ben and Lily nodded and promised to be good. Grandma gave them some water and a cookie. Then she said, + +"Let's go to the market and buy some more prunes. Maybe we can still make a pie for dessert." + +Ben and Lily cheered and followed grandma. They learned their lesson and never ate grandma's prunes again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the yard. They have a big toy drum and a toy horn. They pretend to be in a band. They march and make loud sounds. + +But one day, Mom says they have to share the toys with Sam. Sam is their cousin. He is visiting for a week. Lily and Ben do not like Sam. He is wild and mean. He breaks their toys and laughs. + +Sam sees the drum and the horn. He wants them. He runs to Lily and Ben and grabs the drum. He hits it hard. He says, "This is mine now!" Lily and Ben are angry. They try to get the drum back. But Sam is strong. He pushes them away. + +Lily and Ben have an idea. They see a switch on the wall. It controls the sprinklers.

They are happy. Mom smiles and says, "Good job, twins!" +Tom was a boy who liked to play with his cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes.

His mom said okay, but told him to be careful. She said she had cleaned the rug and it was still wet. She said he should not step on it or play on it until it was dry. + +Tom said he understood and ran to his room. He opened the door and saw his cars on the rug. He forgot what his mom had said.

She said he should have fun. + +Tom said okay. He played with his blocks. He built towers and houses. He had fun. He forgot his pain and fear. He was happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to crawl on the floor and touch different things. She liked to feel the texture of the carpet, the wood, the tiles and the rug. She liked to see the colorful patterns and shapes on them. + +One day, she crawled into the kitchen and saw a big jar of cookies on the counter. She wanted to taste them, but they were too high for her to reach. She saw a chair next to the counter and had an idea. She crawled to the chair and tried to climb on it. + +But the chair was slippery and wobbly. Lily lost her balance and fell down. She hit her head on the floor and started to cry. Her mom heard her and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the floor and the chair on the side. She hugged Lily and checked her head. She said, "Are you okay, my sweetie? What happened?" + +Lily told her mom that she wanted to get the cookies, but the chair was too hard to climb. Her mom said, "I'm sorry, honey, but you shouldn't climb on the chair. It's dangerous and you could get hurt. The cookies are not for you. They are for your dad's birthday. You can have some later, after we sing and cut the cake." + +Lily felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I won't climb on the chair again. I love you and dad." Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. And I'm glad you're okay. Come on, let's go to the living room and play with your toys. They have nice textures and colors too, and they are safe and fun." + +Lily smiled and nodded. She crawled to the living room with her mom and played with her toys.

Do you have any food for me?" + +Ben shook his head and said, "No, I don't have any food. But I have a toy car. Do you want to play with it?" + +The raven tilted his head and said, "Caw, caw! What is a toy car? How do you play with it?" + +Ben smiled and said, "A toy car is a small thing that looks like a real car. You can push it and make it go. Here, I will show you." He took out his toy car from his pocket and pushed it on the ground. + +The raven flew down from the tree and landed next to the toy car. He pecked at it and said, "Caw, caw! This is fun. Can I have it?" + +Ben said, "No, you can't have it. It is mine. But you can play with it with me. We can be friends." + +The raven nodded and said, "Caw, caw! Okay, we can be friends. But can I seat on your shoulder?" + +Ben said, "Yes, you can seat on my shoulder. But be careful not to scratch me with your claws." + +The raven flapped his wings and said, "Caw, caw!

He makes Tim and Kim laugh. + +But Mom is not happy. She sees Spot and says, "Oh no! Look at you, Spot! You are so dirty! You need a bath!" She takes Spot inside the house. She fills the tub with warm water and soap. She puts Spot in the tub and scrubs him with a sponge. She rinses him with a hose. She dries him with a towel. She says, "There you go, Spot! Now you are clean and shiny!" + +Tim and Kim watch from the door. They giggle and say, "Poor Spot! He does not like baths!" They think baths are fun. They like to splash and play with toys.

They had a big box that they pretended was their ship. They also had a map that showed them where to find treasure. + +"Arr, matey, we have to sail to the X on the map," Tom said, holding the map in his hand. + +"Ok, captain, I will steer the ship," Mia said, sitting in the box and using a stick as a wheel. + +They moved the box around the garden, following the map. They went past the swing, the slide, and the tree. They were almost at the X, when they saw a big dog. + +"Uh-oh, it's a sea monster!" Tom shouted. + +"Quick, reverse the ship!" Mia said. + +She tried to turn the stick the other way, but the box did not move. The dog came closer, wagging its tail. + +"Help, help, the sea monster wants to eat us!" Tom cried. + +The dog reached the box and sniffed it. It licked Tom's face and wagged its tail more. + +"Hey, stop that, you silly monster!" Tom said, pushing the dog away. + +The dog barked and ran around the box, playing. + +Mia looked at the map again. She saw that the X was right under the box. + +"Look, Tom, we found the treasure!" she said. + +She lifted the box and saw a shiny metal can. + +"Wow, what is it?"

They wrote on the floor, on the wall, and on the table. They had fun writing. + +One day, they saw something unusual outside. It was mist. Mist was like water, but in the air. It made everything look fuzzy and white. They wanted to write on the mist. + +They ran outside with their crayons. They tried to write on the mist, but it did not work. The crayons did not make any marks. The mist was too wet and soft. + +Lila said, "How can we write on the mist?" + +Tom said, "Maybe we can use our fingers." + +They tried to use their fingers, but it did not work either. The mist was too thin and moved away. They could not see their fingers. + +Lila said, "This is hard. I want to write on the mist." + +Tom said, "Me too. Maybe we can use something else." + +They looked around and saw a stick. They picked up the stick and tried to write on the mist with it. It worked! The stick made lines and shapes on the mist.

The mist is unusual, but we can write on it." + +They smiled and kept writing on the mist. They had fun writing. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, and blocks. But Ben wants to try something new. He sees a shiny red thing on the shelf. He thinks it is a laser. + +"Look, Mia, a laser!" he says. "Let's play with it!" + +Mia is not sure. She knows that lasers are not toys. They can hurt your eyes and skin. She remembers what Mommy said. + +"No, Ben, we can't play with that. It is not a toy. It is Mommy's laser. She uses it for work. She said we should never touch it." + +But Ben does not listen. He climbs on the couch and reaches for the laser. He grabs it and turns it on. A bright red beam comes out of it. He points it at the wall and makes a noise. + +"Zap! Zap! I am a space hero! I can shoot lasers!" + +Mia is scared. She covers her eyes with her hands. She does not want the laser to hit her. + +"Stop, Ben, stop! You are being bad! You can break the laser or hurt yourself or me! Turn it off!" + +But Ben does not stop. He thinks it is fun. He moves the laser around and tries to hit different things. He hits the lamp, the picture, and the window. He does not see that the window is open. + +The laser beam goes through the window and hits a bird that is flying by. The bird falls down and lies on the grass. It does not move. + +Ben and Mia hear a loud thud. They look out the window and see the bird. They are shocked. They realize what they have done. + +"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" they say. "We hurt the bird! We are so sorry, bird!" + +They drop the laser and run to the window. They want to help the bird. But they are too late. The bird is gone. It does not wake up. + +Ben and Mia start to cry. They feel very bad. They wish they had listened to Mia and Mommy. They wish they had not played with the laser. They wish they had not hurt the bird. + +They hug each other and say sorry. They hope the bird will forgive them. They hope Mommy will forgive them too. They learn a hard lesson. They never play with lasers again. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and balls and blocks. One day, they saw a big white cake on the table. It looked yummy and sweet. They wanted to have some. + +"Let's take a bite," Tim said. "Mom won't know." + +"No, we can't," Sam said. "That's for Dad's birthday. Mom will be mad." + +"Come on, just a little," Tim said. He climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. Sam tried to stop him, but he was too late. Tim grabbed the cake and it fell on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Sam said. "We're in trouble!" + +Tim started to cry. He was scared and sorry. He looked at Sam and said, "Please don't tell. Support me. We're friends." + +Sam was sad and angry. He wanted to support Tim, but he also wanted to be good. He didn't know what to do. He heard Mom coming. He had to decide fast. + +He decided to tell the truth. He said, "Mom, Tim did it. He took the cake and dropped it. I tried to stop him, but he didn't listen." + +Mom was very upset. She looked at the mess and said, "Tim, how could you? You ruined Dad's birthday. You're a bad boy. Go to your room. No cake for you." + +Tim felt worse. He wished he had listened to Sam. He wished he had been good. He lost his friend and his cake. He learned a hard lesson. He was in big trouble. +Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going on a safari with their mom and dad. They wanted to see lions, elephants, giraffes and zebras. They packed their bags and got in the car. + +"Are you ready for a big adventure?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Ben shouted. + +"Good. But remember, we have to be careful and listen to the guide. The animals are wild and can be dangerous. We have to stay in the car and not touch anything," Dad said. + +"OK, Dad. We will be good," Lily and Ben said. + +They drove for a long time until they reached the safari park. There, they met their guide, Sam. Sam was very friendly and dependable.

I'm Sam, and I'm going to show you some amazing animals. Are you excited?" Sam said. + +"Yes, Sam. We are very excited. Can we see the lions first?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. But we have to be quiet and respectful. The lions are the kings of the jungle, and they don't like to be disturbed. Follow me," Sam said. + +Sam led them to the car and drove them to the lion's den. There, they saw a big male lion with a mane, a female lion and three cubs. They were lying under a tree, resting and grooming. Lily and Ben were amazed by their size and beauty. They watched them with their binoculars and took pictures with their camera. + +"Wow, they are so cool. Look at their teeth and claws. They are very strong and brave," Ben said. + +"Yes, they are.

They are my favorite animals," Lily said. + +"Me too. They are awesome," Ben said. + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged each other. They were having the best time of their lives.

I will help you. Trust me, it will be fun. The view will be pretty. We can see the trees, the flowers, and the birds." Tom said. + +"Okay, Tom. I trust you. Let's go." Lily said. + +They held hands and started to climb the hill. It was hard, but they did not give up. They helped each other when they slipped or got tired. They reached the top of the hill.

He also let her help him with some tasks, like tying knots, checking maps and steering the wheel. Anna felt very proud and smart. + +After many days, they arrived at the new place. Anna looked out the window and saw white everywhere. She saw snowflakes falling, icebergs floating and penguins waddling.

Anna nodded and said, "Yes, dad. I can't wait!" They held hands and walked towards the penguins. Anna felt very happy and curious. +Tom and Lily were twins. They had a birthday soon.

They told mom the truth. They showed mom the necklace. They said they wanted to give it to her for her birthday. + +Mom was not happy. She was angry. She said the book was very special. It was a gift from her grandma. It was ancient and rare. She said the necklace was not worth the book. She said they should not take things without asking. She said they should return the book and the necklace to the shop man. + +Tom and Lily were sorry. They cried. They said they loved mom. They said they wanted to make her happy. They said they would return the book and the necklace. They took mom's hand. They went to the shop. They gave back the book and the necklace. The shop man was surprised. He said they were honest. He said he would give them a discount. He said they could choose another gift for mom. + +Tom and Lily looked around. They saw a picture of a flower. It was colorful and bright. They liked it. They asked mom if she liked it. Mom smiled. She said she liked it. She said it was beautiful. She said they could buy it with their own money. They had some money in their piggy bank. They gave the money to the shop man. The shop man gave them the picture. They gave the picture to mom. Mom hugged them. She said she loved them. She said they made her happy. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take things without asking. Be honest and respectful. You can make someone happy with a simple and sincere gift. +Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day, they had a cherry-eating contest. They each had a big bowl of red cherries and tried to eat them as fast as they could. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" Tim said, stuffing his mouth with cherries. "I will eat more cherries than you, Lily!" + +"No, you won't!" Lily said, chewing her cherries quickly. "I will eat more cherries than you, Tim!" + +They kept eating and eating, until their bowls were almost empty. But then, Tim felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in, but he couldn't. He sneezed loudly, and some cherries flew out of his mouth. + +"Achoo!" Tim sneezed, covering his face with his hands. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" Lily laughed, pointing at Tim. "You sneezed, Tim! You lose the contest!" + +Tim felt sad and embarrassed. He looked at his bowl and saw that he had only one cherry left. He looked at Lily's bowl and saw that she had two cherries left. She had won the contest by one cherry. + +"Sorry, Tim," Lily said, seeing his face. "I didn't mean to laugh at you. Do you want to share my last cherry with me?" + +Tim smiled and nodded. He took half of Lily's cherry and ate it. It was sweet and juicy. He gave Lily a hug and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. And you are a good cherry-eater, too." + +Lily hugged him back and said, "You're welcome, Tim. You are a good brother. And you are a good cherry-eater, too. Next time, let's have a different contest. Maybe a drawing contest, or a singing contest, or a jumping contest. What do you think?" + +Tim thought for a moment and said, "I think that sounds fun. But let's not have a sneezing contest. That would be silly." + +They both laughed and agreed. They put their bowls away and went to play another game. They were still competitive, but they were also kind and fair. They loved each other very much. +Lily and Max are playing with blocks. They like to make towers and houses with different colors. Lily has a lot of purple blocks. She thinks purple is the best color. Max has some red and blue blocks. He likes to mix them and see what happens. + +"Look, Lily, I can add red and blue and make purple!" Max says. He shows her a block that has both colors. + +"That's not purple, that's silly!" Lily says. She does not like Max's block. She thinks it is not as pretty as her purple blocks. + +"Yes, it is purple, see?" Max says. He points to the color chart on the wall. It shows how red and blue make purple. + +"No, it's not. It's different. It's not as bright and shiny as my purple. My purple is the best!" Lily says. She is angry. She does not want to share her blocks with Max. + +Max is sad. He likes Lily and he likes purple. He thinks his block is adorable. He does not understand why Lily is so mean. He tries to make her happy. + +"Look, Lily, I have a surprise for you!" Max says. He hides his block behind his back. He smiles. + +"What is it?" Lily asks. She is curious. She likes surprises. + +Max brings out his block and gives it to Lily. "It's a purple heart! I made it for you. Do you like it?" He says. + +Lily looks at the block. It is shaped like a heart. It has red and blue on it, but it also has some purple. It is a very nice block. Lily feels sorry. She realizes that Max is a good friend. She smiles. + +"Thank you, Max. It's a very adorable purple heart. I like it a lot. I'm sorry I was mean to you. Can we share our blocks and play together?" She says. + +Max is happy. He hugs Lily and says, "Yes, we can. You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. You're my best friend." + +They hug and play with their blocks. They make more towers and houses with different colors. They have fun. They learn to add and share. They are happy. +Lily loved to play with her toy train. She had many cars and tracks to make different routes. She liked to put the engine in front and watch it pull the other cars. She thought the engine was very intelligent, because it knew how to go fast or slow, and how to stop and start. + +One day, she invited her friend Ben to play with her. Ben also liked trains, but he had a different idea. He wanted to put the engine in the back and push the other cars. He said it was more fun that way. + +"No, no, no!" Lily said. "The engine has to be in front. That's how it works. It's very intelligent. It can't push, it can only pull." + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben said. "The engine can be in the back. That's how I play. It's more fun. It can push, it can't pull." + +They argued and argued, and could not agree. They both wanted to play with the engine, but in different ways. They started to pull and tug at the engine, and it fell to the floor. It broke into pieces, and stopped working. + +They both felt very sad and sorry. They had broken the engine, and now they could not play with it at all. They looked at each other, and said: + +"I'm sorry, Lily." + +"I'm sorry, Ben." + +They hugged and made up. They decided to share the other cars and tracks, and play together. They learned that it was more important to be friends than to be right. They also learned to be careful with their toys, and to respect each other's ideas. They had fun, even without the engine. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to draw pictures with crayons. One day, they found a big book with many pictures in it. The pictures were of animals and plants and places. Tim and Sam wanted to copy the pictures. + +Tim said, "I know how to draw a lion. It has a big head and a long tail and yellow fur." He took a yellow crayon and drew a lion on a paper. + +Sam said, "I know how to draw a flower. It has a round center and many petals and bright colors." He took a red crayon and drew a flower on another paper. + +They showed each other their pictures. They were proud of their work. They decided to show their mom their pictures. + +They ran to the kitchen, where their mom was cooking. They said, "Mom, look at our pictures! We drew them from the book!" + +Their mom looked at their pictures. She smiled and said, "They are very nice, boys. But do you know what these pictures are really about?" + +Tim and Sam shook their heads. They did not know. + +Their mom said, "These pictures are from a book about Africa. Africa is a big place far away from here. It has many different animals and plants and people. The lion is the king of the animals. The flower is the national symbol of a country called Kenya. These pictures tell stories about Africa and its culture and history." + +Tim and Sam did not understand. They did not know what Africa or culture or history meant. They thought their mom was talking nonsense. + +They said, "Mom, you are ignorant. You do not know how to draw. You do not know how to have fun. You do not know anything. We know better than you. We are the best artists in the world." + +Their mom was hurt by their words. She felt sad and angry. She said, "Boys, you are rude and ungrateful. You do not know how to respect. You do not know how to learn. You do not know anything. You are the worst children in the world." + +She took their pictures and tore them into pieces. She threw them in the trash. She said, "Go to your room and think about what you have done. You will not get any dinner or dessert tonight." + +Tim and Sam cried and screamed. They ran to their room and slammed the door. They did not know why their mom was so mean. They did not know what they had done wrong. They did not know anything. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be ignorant and arrogant. Be humble and curious. Listen to your elders and learn from them. Respect their knowledge and wisdom. They know more than you think. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park with their toy dinosaurs. They liked to make them roar and chase each other. They pretended they were in a big jungle full of incredible animals. + +"Roar! I'm a T-rex and I'm hungry!" Tom said, holding his green dinosaur in his hand. + +"Roar! I'm a triceratops and I'm not afraid of you!" Mia said, holding her yellow dinosaur in her hand. + +They ran around the slide and the swings, making loud noises and having fun. But then they saw a big dog coming towards them. It was black and furry and had a shiny belt around its neck. It barked and wagged its tail. + +"Wow, look at that dog!" Tom said, dropping his dinosaur. + +"Let's go and pet it!" Mia said, dropping her dinosaur too. + +They ran towards the dog, but they forgot to ask the owner if they could touch it. The owner was a lady who was sitting on a bench, reading a book. She saw the children running and shouted. + +"Stop! Don't touch my dog! He doesn't like strangers!" + +But it was too late. The dog saw the children and got scared. He growled and snapped at them. He tried to run away, but his belt was tied to the bench. He pulled and pulled, but he couldn't get free. + +Tom and Mia were scared too. They screamed and ran back to their dinosaurs. They hugged them and cried. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" the lady said, running to the dog. She untied his belt and calmed him down. She stroked his fur and said nice words to him. + +She walked to the children and said, "I'm sorry, too. My dog is not mean, he's just shy. He doesn't like loud noises or sudden movements. He needs time to get to know you. Can you forgive him?" + +Tom and Mia nodded. They wiped their tears and said, "We're sorry, too. We should have asked you first. Can we be friends with your dog?" + +The lady smiled and said, "Of course. His name is Rex. He likes to play fetch and get treats. Do you want to try?" + +Tom and Mia smiled, too. They said, "Yes, please. We like to play and share. Our names are Tom and Mia. And these are our dinosaurs. They like to roar and chase." + +The lady laughed and said, "What a coincidence. Rex likes to roar and chase, too. Maybe he thinks he's a dinosaur. Let's play together." + +They played in the park with Rex and the dinosaurs. They threw a ball and a stick and made them fetch. They gave them treats and water. They made them roar and chase, but in a friendly way. They had a lot of fun and learned to be kind and careful. They became good friends. They had an incredible day. +Anna loves to play in the water. She has a big tub in the garden. She fills it with water from the hose. She puts her toys in the tub. She has a duck, a frog, a fish and a boat. + +Anna splashes the water with her hands. She makes big waves. She laughs and sings. She makes the duck swim and the frog jump. She makes the fish go under and the boat go over. She has fun. + +Anna sees a bird on the fence. It is small and brown. It has a red heart on its chest. Anna thinks it is cute. She wants to be its friend. She says hello to the bird. She picks up the boat. She puts some water in the boat. She puts some seeds in the water. She hopes the bird will like it. + +The bird sees Anna and the boat. It is curious. It flies to the tub. It lands on the boat. It drinks the water. It eats the seeds. It chirps and flaps its wings. Anna is happy. She smiles and claps. She has a new friend. She and the bird splash together. +Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that their dad gave them. The car was rare and had a lot of value, because it was old and shiny and made a loud sound when you pushed a button. Tom and Anna loved to drive the car around the house and pretend they were going on adventures. + +One day, their mom told them they had to go to the doctor for a check-up. She said they could bring one toy each, but they had to be careful not to lose it. Tom and Anna both wanted to bring the car, but they knew they had to share. They decided to take turns holding the car on the way to the doctor. + +When they got to the doctor's office, they had to wait in a big room with other kids and their moms. There were many toys in the room, but none as nice as the car. Tom and Anna played with the car for a while, then Tom said he was bored and wanted to try something else. He gave the car to Anna and went to look at a book. + +Anna held the car and watched Tom. She saw a boy with a blue shirt and a big smile. He came over to her and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" + +"I'm Anna," she said. + +"That's a cool car you have. Can I see it?" he asked. + +Anna hesitated. She remembered that the car was rare and had a lot of value, and that she had to be careful not to lose it. But she also wanted to be nice and make a new friend. She said, "OK, but only for a little bit. It's my turn to hold it." + +She handed the car to Ben, who smiled and thanked her. He pushed the button and made the car sound. He said, "Wow, this is awesome. Can I drive it?" + +"Sure, but don't go too far," Anna said. + +Ben nodded and drove the car around the room. He went faster and faster, and soon Anna lost sight of him. She started to worry. She looked for Tom, but he was still reading the book. She looked for her mom, but she was talking to the nurse. She looked for Ben, but he was nowhere to be seen. + +She felt a knot in her stomach. She realized she had made a mistake. She wished she had never given the car to Ben. She wondered if she would ever see it again. She hoped Tom would not be mad at her. She wished she had remembered how much the car meant to them. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, it is very hot. The sun is bright and the grass is dry. Tom and Mia are thirsty. They look for water. They see a fountain. The fountain has water that goes up and down. + +"Look, Mia, water!" Tom says. He runs to the fountain. He wants to drink and splash. + +"Wait, Tom, no!" Mia says. She runs after him. She knows the fountain is not for drinking. She cares for Tom. She does not want him to be sick. + +But Tom does not listen. He puts his mouth on the fountain. He drinks the water. He makes a face. The water is not good. It is dirty and bitter. He spits it out. He feels bad. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Mia asks. She reaches him. She hugs him. She is worried. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I was silly. The water is yucky. I don't like it." Tom says. He is sad. He has a tummy ache. + +"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You made a mistake. Next time, we will bring water from home. Or we will ask a grown-up for help." Mia says. She is kind. She helps Tom to sit down. She gives him her kite. She says they can play with it when he feels better. + +Tom smiles. He is glad. He has a good friend. He says thank you to Mia. He says he will be more careful next time. He says he loves her. + +Mia smiles too. She loves him back. They sit and watch the fountain. They wait for the time to go home. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily liked to try new things. She wanted to be powerful like her big brother Tom. Tom could ride a bike, climb a tree, and swim in the pool.

It was purple, his favorite color. He was very happy with his purple ball. He wanted to show it to his mom and dad. He took it outside and played with it. He did not see Sally.

She put the purple ball in her room. She smiled. She thought she had won. + +Tommy was outside. He knocked on the door. He cried, "Please, give me my ball! It's not fair! You can't keep it!" He waited for Sally to open the door. But she did not. She ignored him. She played with the purple ball. She did not care about Tommy. + +Tommy was very sad. He did not know what to do. He missed his ball. He sighed. He wished he had a nice neighbor. He wished he had a friend. He walked back to his yard. He hoped that someday, he would get his purple ball back. He hoped that someday, Sally would be sorry. +Anna loves to cook with her mom. They make sauce for the pasta. Anna helps to stir the sauce in the big pot.

Can you get the plates and the forks?" Anna nods and runs to the cupboard. She takes out two plates and two forks. She puts them on the table.

They see their dog and cat in the yard. They see their toys and books in the house. They pretend they see tall buildings and bright lights. + +"Look, there is the zoo!" Sara says. She points to a fence with a sign that says "Zoo". + +"Yay, let's go!" Tom says. He jumps out of the box and runs to the fence. + +Sara follows him. They see some animals behind the fence. They see a cow, a pig, a sheep and a chicken. They pretend they see a lion, a tiger, a monkey and a parrot. + +"Wow, they are so wild and cool!" Tom says. + +"Yes, they are. But we have to be careful. They might bite or scratch," Sara says. + +They lean on the fence and watch the animals. They make noises like the animals. They have fun.

Tom asked. + +"Me too, me too!" Mia said. + +Mom looked at the billboard and smiled. She had a plan. She said, "The billboard says that the ball is a prize for a contest.

They started to count the billboards. They saw one, two, three, four, five billboards. They were happy and excited. They stopped fighting and crying. They even shared their toys and snacks. + +Mom and dad were happy too. They knew that there was only one ball, and that the billboard was a lie. They had bought the ball before the trip and hid it in the trunk. They wanted to teach Tom and Mia a lesson about sharing and being grateful. They hoped that the twins would learn to be less spoiled and more kind. They also hoped that they would not find out the truth. +Lily loved to help her mom in the kitchen.

I love it!" she said. + +Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You look adorable in your apron. Do you want to help me make some cookies?" Lily nodded and clapped her hands.

Lily had a big hoop and Ben had a small hoop. + +"Can I try your hoop?" Ben asked Lily. "It looks more fun than mine." + +"Okay, but be gentle with it," Lily said. "It is my favorite hoop." + +Ben took Lily's hoop and rolled it hard. He wanted to see how far it would go. But he rolled it too hard and it hit a tree. The hoop broke into two pieces. + +"Oh no!" Ben cried. "I'm sorry, Lily. I broke your hoop." + +Lily was sad and angry. She liked her hoop very much. She did not want to share it with Ben anymore. + +"That was not gentle, Ben. That was mean. You did not listen to me. You are a bad friend," Lily said. + +Ben felt bad. He knew he made a mistake. He wanted to make Lily happy again. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to break your hoop. I was just curious. Can we still be friends?" Ben asked. + +Lily thought for a moment. She was still sad, but she did not want to lose Ben. He was her best friend. + +"Okay, Ben. We can still be friends. But you have to be more careful next time. And you have to help me find a new hoop," Lily said. + +Ben nodded. He was glad that Lily forgave him. He hugged her and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I will help you find a new hoop. And I will be more gentle with your things." + +Lily smiled and hugged him back. She said, "You're welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. And I will let you try my new hoop. But only if you promise to be gentle." + +Ben promised. They held hands and went to look for a new hoop. + +The moral of the story is: Be gentle with your friends' things and respect their wishes. If you make a mistake, apologize and try to make it up. Friendship is more important than things. +Lila was a gifted girl who loved to ride her bike. She could ride very fast and do tricks on the ramps.

Can we go now, please?" Anna and Ben said. + +"OK, OK, let's go. But don't forget to say bye to the elephant!" Dad said. + +Anna and Ben waved to the elephant and said bye.

Ben pushes the button, but nothing happens. He shakes the car, but nothing happens. He cries, "Car, car, talk to me!" + +His mom hears him and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the car on the floor and picks it up. She says, "Oh, Ben, this car is fragile. You cannot throw it like that. You broke it. I'm sorry, honey." + +Ben feels sad and sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, car. I didn't know it was fragile. I liked the car. It was my friend." + +Mom hugs him and says, "I know, Ben. It's okay. Maybe we can find another car that can talk to you. But you have to be gentle with it, okay?" + +Ben nods and says, "Okay, mom. I will be gentle. I will repeat after it. I will be a good boy." +Lily and Ben were walking in the woods with their dad. They liked to look at the trees and the birds and the flowers. They saw a deer in the grass. The deer was brown and had big ears and a long nose. Lily thought the deer was very attractive. + +"Look, Ben, a deer!" Lily said. "Can we go and say hello?" + +Ben shook his head.

Can I touch you?" + +The deer heard Lily and looked up. It saw Lily running and shouting. It did not like that. It felt afraid and angry. It made a loud noise and jumped up. It ran away from Lily and into the trees. + +Lily stopped and felt sad. She did not understand why the deer did not want to be her friend. She started to cry. + +Dad heard Lily and ran to her. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. The deer was just scared of you. You have to be gentle and quiet with wild animals. They are not like pets. They need their space and peace. Maybe next time you can see the deer from far away and say hello softly." + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, deer. I just wanted to be nice. I won't run and shout again." + +Dad smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. I'm proud of you. You are very kind and brave. Come on, let's go and find Ben.

They both tugged and pulled on the buckle. They did not hear their mom calling them to go home. + +Suddenly, the buckle snapped. It broke into two pieces. Sam and Lily both fell to the ground. They each held a piece of the buckle in their hands. They looked at each other and started to cry. + +Their mom heard their cries and ran to them. She saw the broken buckle and the tears on their faces. She hugged them and said, "What happened, my loves? Why are you crying?" + +Sam and Lily told their mom what they did. They said they were sorry for fighting and breaking the buckle. They said they felt helpless and worried. They did not know how to fix the buckle or make each other happy. + +Their mom smiled and said, "It's okay, my loves. The buckle is not important. What is important is that you love each other and share with each other. You can still be friends and play together. You can also find other things to play with in the park. There are many pretty and fun things here. Come on, let's go and see." + +Sam and Lily nodded and wiped their tears. They gave each other a hug and said sorry. They gave their mom a kiss and said thank you. They followed their mom to the swings and the slide. They forgot about the buckle and played happily together. +Tom is a farmer.

I want to ride it. You can ride my bike. I will be quick." She leaves her bike and gets on the big bike. She pushes the pedals hard. + +But the big bike is too big for Lily. She cannot control it. She goes too fast. She bumps into a tree. She falls off the bike. She hurts her knee. She cries. + +Sam runs to help her. He says, "Lily, are you okay? I told you not to ride the big bike. It was not safe. You should have listened to me." + +Lily says, "I'm sorry, Sam. You were right. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I should not have taken the big bike. It was not mine. I was selfish and greedy. I hope I did not break it." + +Sam says, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But you should say sorry to the owner of the big bike too. And you should be more careful next time. You should respect other people's things. And you should be happy with what you have." + +Lily nods. She says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. I will say sorry to the owner of the big bike. And I will be more careful next time. And I will be happy with my bike. It has pink pedals. I like pink pedals." + +They hug. They get on their bikes. They ride back to the park. They see the owner of the big bike. He is a man. He is looking for his bike. Lily and Sam stop. Lily says, "Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry. I rode your bike. I should not have done that. It was not mine. I hope I did not hurt it." + +The man says, "Thank you for telling me the truth, little girl. I appreciate your honesty. I'm glad you are okay. You did not hurt my bike. But you should not ride bikes that are not yours. They might be too big or too dangerous for you. You should ride bikes that are your size and your style. Like your bike. It has pink pedals. That's very nice." + +Lily says, "Thank you, sir. I learned my lesson. I will not ride bikes that are not mine. I will ride my bike. It has pink pedals. I like pink pedals." + +The man smiles. He says, "You're welcome, little girl. You have a good friend. He tried to stop you. He helped you. He cares about you. You should listen to him. He is wise." + +Lily says, "Yes, sir. He is my friend. He is wise. I will listen to him. He listens to me too. We are friends." + +The man says, "That's good. Friends are important. They help each other. They learn from each other. They have fun together. You have fun with your friend. You ride your bikes. You enjoy the park. You have a good day." + +Lily and Sam say, "Thank you, sir. You have a good day too." + +They wave goodbye. They ride their bikes. They enjoy the park. They have fun. They have a good day. They are friends. +Tim liked to go to the gym with his dad. He liked to watch the big people lift and run and jump. He liked to play with the balls and the mats and the ropes. But there was one thing he did not like: the loud noise. + +The gym had a big bell that rang when someone did something good. The bell was very loud and scary. It made Tim feel fearful. He did not want the bell to ring when he was there. He wished the bell would go away. + +One day, Tim and his dad went to the gym as usual. Tim played with his toys and his dad did his exercises. Tim was having fun until he heard the bell. It rang so loud that it hurt his ears. He dropped his toy and ran to his dad. He hugged his dad and cried. + +His dad saw that Tim was fearful. He picked him up and carried him to a quiet corner. He said, "It's okay, Tim. The bell is not bad. It is just a way to say well done. It is not meant to scare you. You are brave and strong. You can relax." + +He gave Tim a kiss and a hug. He showed him how to cover his ears with his hands. He said, "If the bell rings again, you can do this. It will make the noise softer. You can also look at the people who are happy. They are not fearful. They are proud and excited. You can be happy for them too." + +Tim listened to his dad. He felt better. He tried to cover his ears with his hands. He looked at the people who smiled and clapped. He saw that they were not fearful. He saw that they were proud and excited. He felt a little proud and excited too. + +He said, "Thank you, dad. I am not fearful anymore. I am brave and strong. I can relax." + +His dad smiled and said, "You're welcome, Tim. I am proud of you. You are brave and strong. You can relax." He gave him another kiss and a hug. He said, "Let's go back and play. Maybe we can ring the bell too." +Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make vroom and beep sounds as they drove them on the grass and the sand. They saw a big bird in a cage near a bench. The bird was red and yellow and had a long tail. It looked sad and bored. + +"Hello, bird," Tim said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The bird did not answer. It just looked at Tim and Lily with its black eyes. + +"Maybe it is hungry," Lily said. "Let's give it some of our crackers." + +They took out some crackers from their backpack and broke them into small pieces. They threw them into the cage for the bird. The bird ate some of the crackers and made a loud squawk. + +"Thank you, bird," Lily said. "You have a nice voice." + +The bird squawked again and flapped its wings. It seemed happier. + +"Can we open the cage and let the bird out?" Tim asked. "It wants to fly and be free." + +Lily shook her head. "No, Tim. That is not a good idea. The bird belongs to someone. They might be looking for it. And the bird might get lost or hurt outside the cage. We have to leave it here." + +Tim frowned. He did not like the cage. He thought it was too small and mean for the bird. He wanted to help the bird. + +"But the bird is sad in the cage," Tim said. "It is not fair." + +Lily looked at Tim with a serious face. She held his hand and said, "Tim, I know you are kind and you love animals. But sometimes we have to follow the rules and respect other people's things. The cage has a lock and a sign. The sign says 'Do not touch'. We have to listen to the sign. Maybe the bird is not so sad. Maybe it has a name and a family and a home. Maybe it likes the crackers we gave it. Maybe it will sing for us again if we are nice and quiet." + +Tim looked at the sign and the lock and the bird. He sighed. He understood what Lily said. He nodded and said, "OK, Lily. You are right. We will not touch the cage. We will be nice and quiet. But I still wish the bird could fly and be free." + +Lily smiled and hugged Tim. She said, "Me too, Tim. Me too." +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. She also had a tea set with cups, saucers, spoons and a pot. She liked to pretend that she was having tea parties with her dolls. + +One day, she decided to invite her friend Max to join her tea party. She asked her mom if she could carry the tea set to the backyard, where she had set up a table and chairs under a tree. Her mom said yes, but told her to be careful and not drop anything. + +Lily was very happy. She carefully carried the tea set to the backyard, one piece at a time. She put the cups and saucers on the table, the spoons in a bowl, and the pot on a tray. She filled the pot with water from the hose and pretended that it was hot tea. + +Max came over and saw the tea party. He thought it looked fun. He said hello to Lily and her dolls. He asked if he could join them. Lily said yes, and gave him a cup and a saucer. She poured some water from the pot into his cup and said, "Here you go, Max. This is tea. It is very yummy. Do you like it?" + +Max smiled and took a sip. He said, "Yes, I like it. Thank you, Lily. This is a very nice tea party. You are a very good friend. I am grateful that you invited me." He gave Lily a hug. + +Lily hugged him back. She was very happy too. She said, "You are welcome, Max. You are a very good friend too. I am grateful that you came. I like playing with you." They both laughed and continued to have fun with the tea party and the dolls. +Lily was very happy. It was her birthday and she had a big cake and many balloons. She also had many gifts from her family and friends. She opened them one by one and said thank you. She got a doll, a book, a hat, a puzzle and a ball. + +But there was one more gift that she did not see. It was behind the sofa and it was very big. It was wrapped in shiny paper and had a big bow. Lily's dad said, "Lily, there is one more gift for you. Can you guess what it is?" + +Lily looked at the big gift and wondered. She shook it gently and heard a soft growl. She felt something furry and warm inside. She said, "Is it a tiger?" + +Lily's dad smiled and said, "Yes, it is a tiger. But not a real tiger. It is a stuffed tiger. A very special and gifted tiger. He can talk and sing and tell stories. He is your new friend. Do you want to meet him?" + +Lily nodded and tore the paper. She saw a big orange and black tiger with green eyes and a red scarf. He looked at her and said, "Hello, Lily. Happy birthday. I am Timmy the tiger. I am very happy to be your friend. Can I have a hug?" + +Lily was amazed and delighted. She hugged Timmy and said, "Hello, Timmy. You are the best gift ever. I love you. Thank you, dad. Thank you, mom. This is the best birthday ever." +Ben and Mia like to play with clay. They make shapes and animals with their hands. One day, they find a big lump of clay in the yard. They want to share it, but it is too heavy. + +"I can lift it!" Ben says. He tries to pick up the clay, but it falls on his foot. He cries out in pain. + +"No, I can lift it!" Mia says. She tries to pull the clay, but it sticks to the ground. She gets angry and stomps her feet. + +They start to fight over the clay. They push and pull and shout at each other. They do not see the dog coming. + +The dog is big and black. He likes to play with clay too. He sees the lump of clay and thinks it is a toy. He runs towards it, barking loudly. + +Ben and Mia hear the dog. They stop fighting and look up. They are scared of the dog. He is bigger than them and has sharp teeth. + +"Help!" Ben and Mia yell. They run away from the clay and the dog. They hide behind a tree and hug each other. + +The dog reaches the clay. He sniffs it and bites it. He does not like the taste. He spits it out and shakes his head. He runs away, looking for something else to play with. + +Ben and Mia peek from behind the tree. They see the clay on the ground. It is dirty and broken. They do not want it anymore. + +They look at each other and say sorry. They are friends again. They decide to play with something else. They are alert and careful. They do not want to meet the dog again. +Tom and Anna like to build with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, animals and more. They have fun playing with their blocks every day. + +One night, Tom has a nightmare. He dreams that a big monster comes and breaks all his blocks. The monster is scary and loud. It has sharp teeth and claws. It knocks down everything Tom and Anna build. Tom feels sad and angry. He wants to stop the monster. + +He wakes up and cries. His mom comes and hugs him. She asks him what is wrong. Tom tells her about his nightmare. She says it is only a bad dream. She says the monster is not real. She says his blocks are safe and sound. + +She takes him to his room and shows him his blocks. They are still there, on the floor and on the shelf. Tom feels better. He sees Anna sleeping in her bed. He says sorry for waking her up. She says it is okay. She says she loves him and his blocks. + +Mom says it is time to go back to sleep. She says she loves them too. She says they can build more with their blocks tomorrow. She says they are very lucky to have so many blocks. She says some kids have no blocks at all. She says blocks are expensive and hard to find. + +Tom and Anna say they are grateful for their blocks. They say they will share them with other kids who have no blocks. They say they will be careful with them and not break them. They say they will make more beautiful things with them. + +Mom kisses them good night and turns off the light. Tom and Anna cuddle with their blankets and pillows. They close their eyes and fall asleep. They have no more nightmares. They dream of building with their blocks. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in their big house. One day, they find a new toy on the stair. It is a shiny car with four wheels and a horn. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up the car and admires it. "It is so nice and fast. I want to play with it." + +"Me too!" Lily says. She tries to grab the car from Tom. "It is my turn. You always get the best toys." + +"No, it is mine!" Tom says. He holds the car tight and runs away. "You can play with the doll. It is nice too." + +Lily is sad and angry. She does not like the doll. She likes the car. She chases Tom around the house. They yell and fight. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Lily with the car and the doll. + +"Stop, stop!" Mom says. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +"Tom has the nice car and he won't share!" Lily says. + +"Lily wants the car and she won't let me play!" Tom says. + +Mom sighs. She takes the car and the doll. She sits down on the stair. + +"Listen, kids," Mom says. "This car and this doll are not yours. They are gifts for your cousin Ben. He is coming to visit us tomorrow. He will be very happy to see them. You can play with them for a little while, but you have to be nice and share. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They feel sorry. They nod. + +"Yes, Mom," they say. + +"Good," Mom says. She smiles. "Now, why don't you play together and have fun? You have many other toys that are nice too. And I'm sure Ben will let you play with his car and his doll when he comes. He is a nice boy." + +Tom and Lily hug Mom. They say sorry. They take the car and the doll and go to their room. They play nicely and share. They are happy. They admire the car and the doll. They can't wait to meet Ben. +Sam and Mia are friends who like to play with toys. One day, they find a big jet in the park. It is red and shiny and has wings and wheels. + +"Wow, look at this jet!" Sam says. "It is so cool! I want to fly it!" + +"Me too!" Mia says. "Can we share it?" + +Sam and Mia try to fly the jet, but it is too heavy. They cannot lift it off the ground. + +"Maybe we can carry it to the hill," Sam says. "Then we can make it go fast and fly!" + +"OK, let's try!" Mia says. + +They each grab one side of the jet and start to walk to the hill. But the jet is very big and they are very small. They get tired and sweaty. + +"This jet is too hard to carry!" Sam says. "It is not useful at all!" + +"Yes, it is!" Mia says. "It is a great toy! We just need to try harder!" + +They start to argue. They pull the jet in different directions. They make angry noises. + +"Stop it!" a voice says. "That is my jet!" + +Sam and Mia look up and see a man. He is wearing a blue suit and a hat. He has a badge on his chest. + +"Who are you?" Sam asks. + +"I am a pilot," the man says. "This jet is mine. I left it here for a moment while I went to get some water. It is not a toy. It is a real jet. It can fly in the sky and take people to faraway places." + +Sam and Mia are surprised and scared. They let go of the jet. + +"Sorry, mister," Sam says. + +"We didn't know," Mia says. + +The man smiles and pats their heads. + +"It's OK, kids," he says. "You have good imagination. But you have to be careful with things that are not yours. They might be dangerous or important. Next time, ask before you touch." + +He picks up the jet and puts it in his pocket. It is a small jet, not a big jet. It is a toy jet, not a real jet. He was playing a joke on Sam and Mia. + +He winks at them and walks away. + +Sam and Mia look at each other and laugh. They learned a lesson and had some fun. They decide to play with something else. They find a ball and a hoop. They are useful and easy to carry. They are happy. +Bee was a bird who liked to fly and sing. She had a nest in a big tree with her eggs. She was happy there. But one day, she saw a man with a big hat and a big bag. He came to her tree and climbed up. He wanted to take her eggs! + +Bee was scared and angry. She flew at the man and pecked his hat. She made loud noises to call her friends. Other birds came and helped her. They pecked and scratched the man until he fell down. He ran away with his bag and his hat. + +Bee was glad that her eggs were safe. But she saw that her nest was filthy. The man had made a mess with his bag and his hat. He had left dirt and feathers and paper. Bee did not like that. She wanted a clean nest for her eggs. + +Bee decided to pack her nest. She took her eggs in her beak and flew to another tree. She found a nice spot with soft leaves and twigs. She made a new nest there. She put her eggs in the nest and covered them with her wings. She felt warm and cozy. + +Bee was happy again. She sang a song to her eggs. She hoped they would hatch soon. She looked at the sky and saw the sun. She thanked her friends for helping her. She thought that her new nest was much better than the old one. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big box by the gate. The box has a sticker that says "mail". Sam and Ben are curious. They want to know what is in the box. + +"Let's open it!" Sam says. + +"No, we can't. It is not ours. It is for someone else." Ben says. + +"But maybe it has something cool inside. Maybe it has a toy or a book or a candy." Sam says. + +"It is not nice to take things that are not yours. We should leave it alone." Ben says. + +Sam and Ben start to argue. They pull and push the box. They make a lot of noise. They do not see the man who comes out of the house. The man is angry. He sees the boys and the box. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my mail?" The man shouts. + +Sam and Ben are scared. They drop the box and run away. They say sorry to the man. They do not look at the box anymore. They go to the park and play with their cars and balls. They learn to respect other people's things. They are still friends. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the forest behind their house. They liked to look at the trees, the birds, and the flowers. Sometimes they found sticks and stones to make things with. + +One day, they saw a big truck with a loud noise. The truck had a lot of lumber on it. Lumber is wood that people cut from trees. Ben and Lily wondered where the truck was going. + +They followed the truck to a big house. The house was very big and shiny. It had many windows and doors. The truck stopped and some men came out. They took the lumber from the truck and put it near the house. + +"Wow, look at that house!" Ben said. "It is so big and shiny. I wish we had a house like that." + +"Me too," Lily said. "But I think it is very expensive. Expensive means it costs a lot of money. Mommy and Daddy don't have a lot of money." + +They watched the men work for a while. Then they saw something funny. One of the men was carrying a big piece of lumber. He did not see a rock on the ground. He tripped on the rock and fell. He fell on the ground and the lumber fell on him. + +"Ouch!" the man said. "That hurt!" + +Ben and Lily laughed. They thought it was funny to see the man fall. They did not know it was rude to laugh at someone who was hurt. + +"Hey, you kids!" another man said. "What are you doing here? This is not a place to play. Go away!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not like the man's voice. He was angry and loud. They ran away from the house and the truck. They ran back to the forest and their house. + +They decided not to follow the truck again. They decided they liked their house better. It was not big and shiny, but it was cozy and safe. They did not need expensive lumber to be happy. They had each other and their forest. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of trees. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find a monster!" + +Tom was not sure. He was a little scared of monsters. He had seen them in books and on TV. They had big teeth and claws and eyes. They made loud noises and chased people. + +"Lily, I don't want to find a monster," Tom said. "They are mean and harsh. They can hurt us." + +Lily laughed. She was not scared of monsters. She thought they were funny and silly. She had a toy monster that she liked to hug and play with. + +"Tom, don't be silly," Lily said. "Monsters are not real. They are only in stories. And if we see one, we can catch it and make it our friend." + +Tom was not convinced. He did not want to catch a monster. He wanted to play somewhere else. But Lily was his best friend. He did not want to make her sad. He decided to follow her to the hill. + +They climbed the hill and reached the top. They looked around and saw a lot of flowers and birds and butterflies. They also saw a big cave. It was dark and deep and scary. + +"Look, Tom, a cave!" Lily said. "Maybe there is a monster inside. Let's go and see!" + +Tom did not want to go. He wanted to stay away from the cave. He thought he heard a growl and a roar. He grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her back. + +"Lily, no, don't go!" Tom said. "There is a monster in there. It can catch us and eat us. Let's go back to the park." + +Lily did not listen. She was curious and brave. She wanted to see the monster. She pulled Tom's hand and dragged him to the cave. + +"Come on, Tom, don't be scared," Lily said. "We can catch the monster and make it our friend. Maybe it is lonely and sad. Maybe it just wants to play." + +Tom did not think so. He thought the monster was angry and hungry. He did not want to play with it. He wanted to run away from it. But Lily was his best friend. He did not want to leave her alone. He decided to go with her to the cave. + +They entered the cave and walked slowly. It was dark and cold and wet. They saw a lot of rocks and bats and spiders. They also saw a big shadow. It was moving and growling and roaring. It was the monster. + +"Look, Tom, there it is!" Lily said. "It is big and furry and has horns. It is a cool monster. Let's catch it and make it our friend." + +Tom did not agree. He thought it was a scary monster. He wanted to catch it and make it go away. He looked around and saw a big stick. He picked it up and held it tight. + +"Lily, no, don't go!" Tom said. "It is a harsh monster. It can hurt us and bite us. Let's catch it and make it leave." + +Lily did not listen. She was friendly and kind. She wanted to hug the monster. She walked towards it and smiled. + +"Hello, monster," Lily said. "We are Tom and Lily. We want to be your friends. Do you want to play with us?" + +The monster did not answer. It looked at Lily and Tom. It was confused and curious. It had never seen children before. It did not know what to do. + +Tom and Lily did not know what to do either. They waited for the monster to make a move. They hoped it would be nice and gentle. They hoped it would not be mean and harsh. They hoped they could catch it and make it their friend. Or they hoped they could catch it and make it leave. They did not know what would happen next. They were scared and excited. They were in for a big surprise. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys and watch cartoons on the screen. One day, they see a funny cartoon about a dog and a cat. The dog is big and brown, and the cat is small and white. The dog and the cat do not like each other. They chase and fight and make a lot of noise. + +Tim and Jen laugh at the funny cartoon. They think the dog and the cat are silly. They want to be like the dog and the cat. They pretend to be the dog and the cat. Tim is the dog and Jen is the cat. They run and jump and pretend to bite and scratch. They have fun. + +But then, Tim and Jen make a mistake. They run too fast and too far. They do not see the big hole in the ground. Tim falls into the hole. He is scared. He cries for help. Jen hears Tim. She is worried. She runs to the hole. She sees Tim. He is stuck in the hole. He cannot get out. + +Jen wants to help Tim. She looks for something to rescue him. She sees a rope. The rope is long and strong. She throws the rope to Tim. She tells him to hold the rope. She pulls the rope. She tries to lift Tim out of the hole. She is brave and smart. + +Tim holds the rope. He feels Jen pulling him. He tries to climb out of the hole. He is happy and thankful. He gets out of the hole. He hugs Jen. He says, "Thank you, Jen. You are a good friend. You rescued me. You are not a silly cat. You are a nice cat." + +Jen smiles. She says, "You are welcome, Tim. You are a good friend, too. You are not a silly dog. You are a nice dog." + +Tim and Jen are friends again. They do not pretend to be the dog and the cat anymore. They go back to watch the screen. They see the funny cartoon. They laugh at the funny cartoon. They think the dog and the cat are silly. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to make up stories with their toys. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. + +"Let's pretend we are going to a jolly party," Lily said. "We can enter the big house and see all the other toys." + +"OK," Tom said. "But we have to say the magic word to enter. Do you know the magic word?" + +Lily thought hard. She knew some words, like hello, thank you, and sorry. But she did not know a magic word. + +"No, I don't know the magic word," Lily said. "Can you tell me?" + +Tom smiled. He had a secret. He leaned closer to Lily and whispered in her ear. + +"The magic word is 'please'," he said. "If you say 'please', you can enter anywhere." + +Lily was amazed. She did not know that 'please' was a magic word. She wanted to try it. + +"Please, can we enter the big house?" she asked. + +"Yes, we can," Tom said. "Let's go." + +They took their toys and ran to the big house. It was really a cardboard box that Tom's dad had given them. But they pretended it was a big house with many rooms and windows. + +They said 'please' and entered the big house. Inside, they saw many other toys. There were bears, trains, books, and balls. They all looked jolly and friendly. + +"Hello, we are Lily and Tom," Lily said. "We came to the jolly party. Can we play with you?" + +"Of course, you can," the toys said. "You are very welcome. You said the magic word. That makes us happy." + +Lily and Tom were happy too. They played with the toys and had a jolly time. They learned that 'please' was a magic word that could open many doors. They also learned that being polite and kind was a good way to make friends. They had a lot of fun in the big house. They did not want to leave. But they knew they had to go home soon. + +"Thank you for the jolly party," Lily said. "We had a lot of fun. Can we come again?" + +"Sure, you can," the toys said. "You are always welcome. Just remember to say the magic word." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said 'please' and 'thank you' and 'goodbye'. They took their toys and left the big house. They went back to the garden. They were happy and tired. They hugged each other and smiled. + +"That was a great story," Lily said. + +"Yes, it was," Tom said. "And we learned a magic word." + +They said the magic word together. + +"Please." +Anna likes to bounce on her bed. She jumps up and down and makes funny noises. She feels happy and free. She bounces so high that she can see the top of her dresser. + +On the dresser, there is a drawer. Anna knows that the drawer has something sweet inside. It is a secret stash of candy that her mom gave her. Anna loves candy. She wants to eat some now. + +She stops bouncing and climbs down from her bed. She runs to the dresser and pulls the drawer open. She sees the candy wrappers shining in the light. She picks one and tears it open. She puts the candy in her mouth and smiles. It is sweet and yummy. + +But then she hears a sound. It is her mom coming up the stairs. She knows that her mom does not like her to eat candy before dinner. She quickly closes the drawer and runs back to her bed. She pretends to be asleep. + +Her mom opens the door and sees Anna on the bed. She smiles and walks over to her. She kisses her on the forehead and whispers, "I love you, sweetie. Time to wake up and get ready for dinner." Anna opens her eyes and hugs her mom. She hopes that her mom does not notice the candy in her mouth. +Sam and Mia are playing soldiers in the garden. They have helmets, swords and shields made of cardboard. They march around the grass and pretend to fight enemies. + +"Charge!" Sam shouts. He runs towards the fence and swings his sword. Mia follows him and bangs her shield. They make loud noises and laugh. + +But on the other side of the fence, there is a big dog. The dog sees Sam and Mia and barks. He jumps over the fence and chases them. Sam and Mia are scared. They drop their helmets, swords and shields and run away. + +"Help!" Mia cries. "The dog is after us!" + +They run into the house and slam the door. The dog stops and sniffs. He finds their helmets, swords and shields and plays with them. He bites them, tears them and throws them around. He makes a big mess. + +Sam and Mia peek out of the window and see the dog. They are sad. Their toys are ruined. + +"Look what he did!" Sam says. "He destroyed our army!" + +The dog hears them and wags his tail. He thinks he won. He barks and jumps. He is happy. He thinks he has a victory. + +But Sam and Mia are not happy. They think they have a defeat. They look at each other and sigh. + +"We need new toys," Mia says. + +"And a new game," Sam says. + +They go to their room and think of something else to play. They hope the dog will go away soon.

He says the slide is too high. + +Tim says, "Don't be scared. It is fun. I will go first. You can watch me." Tim runs to the slide. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide. He slides down fast. He laughs. He says, "See? It is fun. Come on, Sam. You can do it." + +Sam walks to the slide. He looks up. He feels heavy. He says, "I can't do it. It is too high. I will fall." He turns around. He wants to go back. + +Tim says, "No, Sam. Don't go back. You can do it. I will help you. I will hold your hand. We can slide together. It will be more fun. Trust me. I am your friend." + +Sam looks at Tim. He sees that Tim is kind. He says, "OK, Tim. I will try. But you have to hold my hand." Tim nods. He says, "OK, Sam. I will hold your hand. We are friends. We can do anything together." + +Tim and Sam climb up the ladder. They sit on the slide. They hold hands. They slide down fast. They laugh. They feel happy. They hug. They say, "We did it. We are brave. We are friends." + +The moral of the story is: Friends help each other overcome their fears. +Tom likes to read novels. Novels are books with many words and stories. Tom has a big novel with a picture of a dragon on the cover. He wants to know what the dragon does in the story. + +One day, Tom finds a magic feather in his novel. The feather is blue and shiny. Tom picks up the feather and feels a tickle in his hand. He hears a voice in his head. The voice says, "I am the dragon from the novel. I can make you fly with me. Do you want to fly?" + +Tom is surprised and curious. He likes to fly. He says, "Yes, I want to fly with you." The feather glows and lifts Tom off the ground. Tom feels a breeze on his face and sees the sky and the clouds. He sees the dragon flying next to him. The dragon is big and green and has scales and wings. The dragon smiles and says, "Hello, Tom. I am glad you are here. We can have fun and see many things. Are you ready?" + +Tom nods and smiles. He is happy and excited. He holds the feather and flies with the dragon. They fly over the trees and the houses and the mountains and the sea. They see birds and animals and people and boats. They talk and laugh and play. Tom thinks this is the best day ever. He loves his novel and his feather and his dragon. He flies and flies and flies. +Lily and Ben were playing in the attic. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find old things. They saw a big box with a sign that said "Halloween costumes". They opened the box and found many funny clothes and masks. + +"Look, I found a ghost!" Lily said, holding a white sheet with holes for eyes. She put it over her head and said "Boo!" + +Ben laughed and said "That's a fake ghost, Lily. It's not scary at all. I can see your feet and your hair." He looked for something else in the box and found a long rubber snake. He wrapped it around his arm and said "Look, I found a snake! It's very long and stretchy. I can make it move like this." He waved his arm and made the snake wiggle. + +Lily pretended to be scared and said "Oh no, a snake! It's going to bite me!" She ran away from Ben and hid behind a pile of books. Ben chased her and said "Come here, Lily. It's just a fake snake. It's not real. It's fun to play with." + +But as they ran around the attic, they did not see a dark corner where a real ghost was hiding. The ghost was very old and lonely. He did not like the noise and the mess that the children made. He decided to teach them a lesson. He waited until they were close to him and then he jumped out and said "Boo!" + +Lily and Ben screamed and dropped their fake ghost and snake. They ran to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. They banged on the door and shouted "Help! Help! There's a real ghost in the attic!" + +The ghost laughed and said "That's what you get for playing with fake ghosts and snakes. Now you know how it feels to be scared. Maybe next time you will be more respectful of the attic and its secrets." He waved his hand and the door opened. Lily and Ben ran out of the attic and never went back. The ghost smiled and went back to his corner. He was happy that he had some fun and made some friends. He hoped they would come back someday and play with him again. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see some ducks by the pond. Anna likes ducks. She wants to feed them some bread. Ben has some bread in his bag. + +"Come on, Ben, let's feed the ducks!" Anna says. + +"OK, Anna, but we have to be careful. Ducks can bite," Ben says. + +They walk to the pond. They see a big duck with a red head. He is the leader of the ducks. He quacks loudly. The other ducks follow him. They march to the edge of the pond. They want the bread. + +"Look, Anna, the ducks are marching. They are obedient to the leader duck," Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, they are. They have good bodies. They can swim and walk and fly," Anna says. + +They throw some bread to the ducks. The ducks eat the bread. They are happy. They quack some more. Anna and Ben smile. They like the ducks. They march with the ducks. They are obedient to the leader duck. They have fun. +Tom is a dog who likes to play with his bone. He likes to run and jump and chew on his bone. He does not like to share his bone with other dogs. He is grumpy and growls when they come near. + +One day, Tom sees a big bird in the sky. The bird is black and white and has a long neck. Tom thinks the bird wants his bone. He barks and runs after the bird. He wants to shoot the bird with his bone. + +But the bird is faster and smarter than Tom. The bird flies over a fence and lands in a farm. There are many animals in the farm. There are cows and pigs and sheep and chickens. The bird says hello to them. + +"Who are you?" the animals ask the bird. + +"I am a goose," the bird says. "I came from far away. I am looking for a place to stay." + +"You can stay with us," the animals say. "We have food and water and a barn. You can be our friend." + +"Thank you," the goose says. "You are very kind." + +Tom is still outside the fence. He is angry and tired. He can't shoot the goose with his bone. He can't get his bone back. He sits and whines. + +"Hey, dog," the goose says. "Why are you so grumpy? Why do you want to shoot me with your bone?" + +"Because it is my bone," Tom says. "It is the best bone in the world. I don't want to share it with anyone." + +"That is silly," the goose says. "Your bone is just a bone. It can't make you happy. You need friends to make you happy. Friends are better than bones." + +Tom thinks about what the goose says. He looks at the animals in the farm. They look happy and friendly. He feels lonely and sad. + +"Maybe you are right," Tom says. "Maybe I do need friends. Can I be your friend?" + +"Of course you can," the goose says. "But you have to share your bone with us. Sharing is caring." + +Tom agrees. He throws his bone over the fence. The animals catch it and play with it. They invite Tom to join them. Tom jumps over the fence and joins them. He makes new friends. He is not grumpy anymore. He is happy. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play and have fun.

They ignored mom and kept playing with their toys. + +"Sam, Lily, I said come and eat your sandwiches!" mom said again, louder. + +But Sam and Lily still did not listen. They pretended they did not hear mom and kept playing with their toys. + +"Sam, Lily, this is the last time I'm telling you, come and eat your sandwiches!" mom said, very loud and angry. + +But Sam and Lily did not care. They thought mom was being grumpy and they did not want to eat their sandwiches. They kept playing with their toys. + +Mom was very mad. She came into the living room and saw Sam and Lily playing with their toys. She took away their toys and put them in a box. + +"Sam, Lily, you are very naughty!" mom said. "You did not listen to me at all. You have to eat your sandwiches and then go to your room. And no more toys for you today!" + +Sam and Lily were very sad. They did not like mom taking away their toys. They did not like going to their room. They did not like mom's lecture. + +"Mom, we're sorry!" Sam said. + +"Mom, we love you!" Lily said. + +They tried to hug mom and make her happy. But mom was still grumpy. She did not hug them back. She gave them their sandwiches and told them to eat them quickly and then go to their room. + +Sam and Lily ate their sandwiches, but they did not like them. They wished they had listened to mom and come when she called them. They wished they had not made mom grumpy. They wished they had their toys back. + +They went to their room and sat on their beds. They did not have anything to play with. They did not have anything to do. They were very bored. + +They looked at each other and said, "We're sorry, mom." But mom did not hear them.

Ben says to Anna. + +"OK, but we have to ask Mom first," Anna says. + +They run to the kitchen, where Mom is making lunch. They ask her if they can go outside and play. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful and stay in the yard," Mom says. "And come back when I call you for lunch." + +Anna and Ben put on their shoes and jackets and go outside. They see a big pile of leaves in the yard. They run to the pile and jump in. They laugh and throw leaves at each other. They have fun. + +But soon, they get tired. They lie down on the leaves and look at the sky. They see clouds and birds and a plane. + +"Look, a plane!" Ben says. "I wonder where it is going." + +"Maybe it is going to a faraway place," Anna says. "Maybe it is going to see the ocean or the mountains or the snow." + +"I wish we could go to a faraway place," Ben says. + +"Me too," Anna says. + +They close their eyes and imagine they are on the plane. They relax and dream. + +But then, they hear Mom calling them for lunch. + +"Anna! Ben! Lunch is ready!" Mom says. + +They open their eyes and get up. They brush off the leaves and run to the house. + +"Thank you for the lunch, Mom," they say. + +"You're welcome, my loves," Mom says. "Did you have fun outside?" + +"Yes, we did," they say. "We played in the leaves and we saw a plane and we relaxed and dreamed." + +"That sounds wonderful," Mom says. "But you know what? I think our house is a wonderful place too. It is warm and cozy and full of love. And you are my wonderful twins. I love you very much." + +"We love you too, Mom," they say. "And we love our house. It is hard to find a better place than our house." +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together at school and at home. One day, Anna had a big package in her backpack. She wanted to give it to Ben as a surprise. + +"Ben, I have something for you," Anna said. She took out the package and handed it to him. "Open it, please." + +Ben smiled and opened the package. Inside, he saw a teddy bear with a red heart. He read the words on the heart: "I love you, Ben." + +Ben felt embarrassed. He did not know what to say. He liked Anna, but he did not love her like that. He looked around and saw the other kids staring at them. Some of them laughed and teased him. + +"Ha ha, Ben has a girlfriend!" one of them said. + +"Anna loves Ben, how cute!" another one said. + +Ben felt his face turn red. He wanted to hide. He did not want the teddy bear. He did not want the package. He did not want the heart. + +"Anna, I'm sorry, but I don't love you like that," he said. He gave the package back to her. "I like you as a friend, but nothing more." + +Anna felt sad. She did not expect Ben to say that. She thought he would like the teddy bear. She thought he would love her back. She felt tears in her eyes. She took the package and ran away. + +"Anna, wait!" Ben called. He felt bad for hurting her feelings. He wanted to make her feel better. He wanted to be her friend. But he did not know how. He watched her disappear. He felt lonely and confused. He wished he had never opened the package. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big gray dog. The dog is serious. He does not wag his tail or bark. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Anna asks Ben. + +"I don't know. He looks scary," Ben says. + +They go closer to the dog. The dog sees them. He springs up and runs to them. Anna and Ben are afraid. They scream and run away. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. + +A man comes. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog. + +"Rex, come here! Rex, stop!" he says. + +The dog stops and goes back to the man. The man is sorry. + +"I'm sorry, kids. Rex is not mean. He just likes to play. He is very friendly," he says. + +Anna and Ben stop running. They look at the dog. The dog wags his tail and licks the man's face. + +"Are you sure?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, I'm sure. Do you want to pet him?" the man asks. + +Anna and Ben nod. They go to the dog. The dog is gentle. He lets them touch his fur and ears. He gives them kisses. + +Anna and Ben smile. They are not afraid anymore. They like the dog. + +"Rex is a good dog. He is not serious. He is fun," Anna says. + +"Yes, he is. He is a good dog. He is not gray. He is colorful," Ben says. + +The man laughs. He is happy. + +"You are right. He is colorful. He is my rainbow dog," he says. + +They all play together in the park. They have a good time. They are friends. +Anna liked to number her toys. She had a lot of toys, but she wanted to know how many. She took a paper and a crayon and wrote a number for each toy. She started with one and went up to ten. She was very proud of her numbers. + +One day, she wanted to number her soup. She had a bowl of soup for lunch, with carrots and noodles and chicken. She thought the soup looked yummy, but she also wanted to play with it. She took a spoon and tried to scoop up some soup. She said, "One!" and put the spoon on the paper. + +But the soup was hot and wet. It dripped from the spoon and made the paper soggy. The number one was gone. Anna was sad. She tried again with another spoonful of soup. She said, "Two!" and put the spoon on the paper. But the same thing happened. The soup dripped and the paper got soggy. The number two was gone. Anna was very sad. + +She looked at her bowl of soup. It was still full and warm and yummy. She looked at her paper. It was wet and messy and had no numbers. She felt sorry for her paper and her numbers. She decided to stop numbering her soup. She picked up her spoon and ate her soup. She said, "Mmm!" and smiled. + +She learned that soup was not good for numbering. Soup was good for eating. She also learned that paper was not good for soup. Paper was good for writing and drawing. She finished her soup and asked for more. She was happy. She still liked to number her toys, but she never numbered her soup again. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play pretend. They had a big box that they used as a stage. They would dress up and act out stories for their toys. Sometimes they would sing and dance, too. + +One day, they wanted to pretend they were in a forest. They used green paper and crayons to make trees and flowers. They also found a plastic jug and filled it with water. They said it was a waterfall. + +They took turns being animals and fairies in the forest. They had a lot of fun. But then, Ben wanted to be the waterfall. He said he would pour the water from the jug and make a splash. Lily said no, that would make a mess and wet their stage. She said they should share the jug and use it as a prop. + +Ben did not listen. He grabbed the jug and ran to the stage. He poured the water all over the box. The water soaked the paper and the crayons. The stage collapsed and the toys fell down. Lily was very angry. She yelled at Ben and said he was a bad friend. Ben felt sorry. He said he was just trying to have fun. He said he was sorry and asked Lily to forgive him. + +Lily looked at the ruined stage and the wet toys. She felt sad. She remembered how much fun they had before. She also remembered that Ben was her friend. She decided to forgive him. She said they could make a new stage and play again. Ben was happy.

They learned to be kind and share. They had a peaceful and happy day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. They have a pet dog named Spot. Spot is huge and fluffy. He likes to run and jump. + +One day, Lily and Ben decide to jog with Spot. They put on their shoes and hats. They hold Spot's leash. They say, "Come on, Spot, let's go!" + +They jog down the street. They see a park. They jog to the park. They see a slide and a swing. They say, "Let's play, Spot!" + +They let go of Spot's leash. They run to the slide. They take turns sliding down. Spot runs after them. He barks and wags his tail. + +They run to the swing. They push each other. They laugh and shout. Spot jumps up and down. He tries to catch their feet. + +They have fun. They jog back home. They are tired and happy. They hug Spot. They say, "You are a good pet, Spot. We love you!" +Sam and Ben love to play hockey. They have sticks and a ball and a net in the yard. They take turns to hit the ball and try to score. Sam is older and bigger than Ben, so he is better at hockey. He can hit the ball harder and faster. Ben tries to catch up, but he often misses or falls. + +One day, they are playing hockey and Sam scores a lot of goals. He is happy and shouts, "I am the best! You are too slow and weak!" Ben feels sad and angry. He wants to be good at hockey too. He says, "No, you are not! You are mean and unfair! You always hit the ball too hard and you don't let me have a chance!" + +Sam laughs and says, "That's because you are not tough enough. You are a baby who can't play hockey. You should go and play with dolls instead." He hits the ball again and it hits Ben in the leg. Ben cries out and drops his stick. He feels a lot of pain and he starts to weep. + +Sam sees Ben weeping and he feels sorry. He knows he was too rough and rude. He says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just having fun. You are not a baby. You are my brother and I love you. You can play hockey with me anytime. Here, let me help you up." + +He goes to Ben and hugs him. He picks up his stick and gives it to him. He says, "Come on, let's play some more. But this time, let's be nice and fair. And let's have fun." Ben smiles and wipes his tears. He says, "Okay, Sam. Thank you. I love you too. You are a good brother and a good hockey player. But I will beat you someday." They laugh and play hockey again. They are happy and they are friends. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to share. One day, they find a big red lock in the garage. They think it is fun to lock their toys and hide the key. + +"Look, I locked my car and my robot. You cannot play with them," Tom says to Sam. + +"That is not nice. I want to play too," Sam says. He tries to find the key, but Tom runs away with it. + +"Ha ha, you cannot catch me. The key is mine," Tom says. He laughs and runs around the yard. + +But then, he sees a big dog. The dog is hungry and angry. It barks and chases Tom. Tom is scared and drops the key. + +"Help, help, the dog is after me," Tom cries. He runs to the house and slams the door. + +Sam hears Tom and sees the key. He picks it up and runs to the garage. He unlocks the toys and puts them in a basket. He also finds some dog food and a bowl. He goes to the yard and sees the dog. + +"Here, doggy, do not be mad. I have some food for you," Sam says. He puts the bowl on the ground and fills it with dog food. The dog stops barking and sniffs the food. It wags its tail and eats the food. Sam pets the dog and smiles. + +Tom sees Sam and the dog. He feels sorry and ashamed. He opens the door and comes out. + +"Sam, I am sorry. I was mean to you. Can you forgive me?" Tom says. + +"Of course, Tom. You are my brother. I love you," Sam says. He hugs Tom and gives him the basket. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are very kind. You saved me from the dog and you fed it. Can we share the toys?" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom. We can share the toys.

You have your own cars. Go away." + +Tom is angry. He says, "You are mean. I want your red car. Give it to me." + +Sam says, "No, you can't have it. It is my will. You have to yield." + +Tom does not listen. He runs to Sam and tries to grab the red car. Sam holds it tight. They pull and push and shout. They do not see the blocks and books on the floor. They trip and fall. The red car flies out of their hands and hits the window. The window breaks. The glass cuts their faces and hands. They cry and bleed. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She sees the broken window and the blood and the red car. She is very angry and sad. She says, "What have you done? You are bad boys. You have to go to the doctor. And you have to pay for the window.

They wish they had been slow and careful. They wish they had not broken the window and hurt themselves. But it is too late. They have no more fun. They have a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big, yellow squash growing on a vine. They ran to it and touched it with their hands. + +"Wow, look at this squash!" Lily said. "It is so big and chubby!" + +"Can we pick it and eat it?" Ben asked. + +"No, we have to ask Mom first," Lily said. "Maybe she can make us some soup or pie with it." + +They ran to the house and found Mom in the kitchen.

It is a nice reward for your hard work." + +"Yay, thank you, Mom!" Lily and Ben said. They hugged Mom and took the squash to the table. Mom cut it and scooped out the seeds.

She did not like bugs. + +Tim and Lily were surprised. They thought the bugs were cool and pretty. + +"No, they are not disgusting. They are nice bugs. They are our friends." Lily said. She knelt down and put the jar on the floor. + +Mom shook her head. She did not want the bugs on the porch. + +"Sorry, kids. But you can't keep the bugs on the porch. They belong in the yard. They might escape and crawl on the furniture. Or bite us. Or make a mess." Mom said. + +Tim and Lily were sad. They liked their bugs. They did not want to let them go. + +"But Mom, we love our bugs. Can we keep them in our room?" Tim asked. + +Mom sighed. She knew the kids liked their bugs. But she did not want them in the house. + +"No, you can't keep them in your room. They need fresh air and dirt and plants. They will not be happy in a jar. They will die. You have to let them go." Mom said. + +Tim and Lily looked at each other. They did not want their bugs to die. They wanted them to be happy. + +"Okay, Mom. We will let them go. But can we say goodbye to them?" Lily asked. + +Mom nodded. She smiled. + +"Of course you can. But be quick. And then wash your hands." Mom said. + +Tim and Lily picked up the jar. They ran back to the yard. They opened the jar and let the worm and the beetle out. They said goodbye to them. + +"Bye, worm. Bye, beetle. Thank you for being our friends. Have fun in the yard." Tim and Lily said. + +The worm and the beetle crawled away. They disappeared in the dirt. + +Tim and Lily waved to them.

We can make another castle. Do you want to play with us?" The girl says, "Yes, I do. Thank you for being nice. Rex can watch, but he cannot dig." They all smile and play in the sand. They use the spade and the bucket. They make a new castle. They are happy. +Sara and Ben like to race. They race to the park, to the swing, to the slide. They race to see who is faster and who can get there first. + +One day, they see a big flower in the park. It is yellow and red and has many petals. Sara and Ben want to smell the flower.

He sees a lady with a hat and a basket. She is picking flowers in the park. She is nosy. She hears Sara and Ben and comes to see what they did. + +"Hey, you two!" the lady says. "Why did you break my flower? That was very naughty!" + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They did not mean to break the flower. They say sorry to the lady and try to fix the flower. They put it back in the ground and pat the soil. They hope the flower will grow again. + +The lady sees that Sara and Ben are sorry. She is not angry anymore. She smiles and gives them each a flower from her basket. She tells them to be careful and to enjoy the park. + +Sara and Ben say thank you to the lady and hug her. They are happy to have a flower.

He hopes his grandpa is not busy. + +"Hello, is this Tom?" a voice says from the telephone. Lily and Tom blink. They look at each other. Who is talking to them? + +"Hello, this is grandpa!" the voice says again. "I was just thinking of you. How are you, my little ones?" + +Lily and Tom smile. It is their grandpa! He called them on the telephone. How did he know they were playing with it? + +"Grandpa, we are fine!" Lily says. "We are playing with the telephone. It is fun!" + +"Grandpa, we miss you!" Tom says. "Can you come and visit us?" + +"I miss you too, my darlings!" grandpa says. "I wish I could come and see you, but I live far away. But I can talk to you on the telephone. And I can send you a surprise in the mail. Do you like surprises?" + +Lily and Tom nod. They like surprises. They wonder what grandpa will send them. Maybe a book, or a toy, or a picture. + +"We love you, grandpa!" they say together. + +"I love you too, Lily and Tom!" grandpa says. "You make me happy. You have wide eyes and big hearts. You are my precious grandchildren. I will call you again soon. Goodbye for now!" + +Lily and Tom say goodbye to grandpa. They put down the telephone. They hug each other. They are happy. They have a good grandpa. And they have a good telephone. +Tom and Lily wanted to build a star. They had yellow paper, scissors and glue. They cut the paper into shapes and stuck them together. They made a big star with five points. + +"Look, we made a star!" Tom said. "It is shiny and pretty." + +Lily nodded. "Yes, it is. Let's hang it on the wall." + +They found some tape and put the star on the wall. They were very happy with their star. They smiled and clapped. + +But then, Max came in. Max was Tom's big brother. He saw the star and laughed. He took it off the wall and tore it into pieces. + +"What a disgusting star!" Max said. "It is ugly and silly. You can't build a star. Stars are in the sky, not on the wall." + +Tom and Lily were very sad. They cried and hugged each other. They did not like Max. He was mean and rude. + +"Go away, Max!" Lily said. "You are a bad brother. You broke our star. We don't want to play with you." + +Max shrugged and left. He did not care. He thought he was smarter than Tom and Lily. + +Tom and Lily picked up the pieces of their star. They tried to fix it, but it was too hard. They decided to make a new star.

They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a doll and Max had a car. They also had some yarn that they used to make scarves and hats for their toys. + +"Look, I made a hat for my doll!" Lily said, showing Max her yarn creation. + +"That's nice, but my car is faster than your doll!" Max said, zooming his car around the couch. + +"No, it's not! My doll can fly!" Lily said, tossing her doll in the air. + +They laughed and chased each other with their toys. They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the kitchen. She smiled and decided to join their game. + +"Freeze!" she shouted, as she entered the living room. "You are both under arrest for making a mess!" + +Lily and Max stopped and looked at their mom. They saw that she was holding a toy gun and wearing a hat made of yarn. They also saw that the living room was indeed very messy. There were toys, yarn, and crumbs everywhere. + +"Uh-oh," they said together. + +"Don't worry, I'm a nice cop," their mom said, winking at them. "But you have to help me clean up this filthy room. And then we can have some cookies and milk. Deal?" + +"Deal!" Lily and Max said, nodding eagerly. + +They put away their toys and yarn, and swept the crumbs.

Anna had a beautiful white dress and a long veil that covered her face. Lila wanted to try on the veil, but Anna said no. + +"Please, Anna, can I give you a hug and see your veil?" Lila asked. + +"No, Lila, you can't. The veil is very special and delicate. You might tear it or stain it. You have to wait until the wedding day to see it," Anna said. + +Lila was sad and angry. She thought Anna was mean and selfish. She decided to sneak into Anna's room when she was not there and take the veil. She wanted to see how it looked on her and pretend to be a bride. + +She waited until Anna went out with her friends and then ran to her room. She opened the closet and found the veil. It was soft and shiny and had little flowers on it. Lila put it on her head and looked in the mirror. She smiled and twirled around. She felt very pretty and happy. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was Anna coming back home. She had forgotten something and returned earlier than expected.

What is that under the bed?" Anna asked. + +Lila started to cry. She knew she was in trouble. She pulled out the veil and gave it to Anna. But it was too late. The veil was ripped and dirty. There was a big hole in it and a red stain from Lila's juice. Anna was furious and heartbroken. She had ruined her veil. + +"How could you do this, Lila? You are a very bad and stupid girl. You have spoiled my wedding. I hate you!" Anna yelled. + +Lila felt very sorry and scared. She wanted to say sorry and hug Anna, but Anna pushed her away. She ran out of the room and locked the door. Lila was left alone, sobbing and regretting what she had done. She wished she had listened to Anna and left the veil alone. She wished she could make Anna happy again. But she couldn't. She had made a big mistake and hurt her sister. She felt very lonely and sad. The end. +Lily likes to wear lotion on her skin. She thinks it makes her soft and shiny.

She felt very slippery and wet. + +But then, her mom came in and saw her. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? You look crazy! You can't wear lotion on your hair. It will make your hair sticky and dirty. And you wasted all the lotion. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and wash it off." + +Lily felt sad. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She just wanted to try something new. She followed her mom to the bathroom. Her mom helped her wash the lotion off her hair and face. She used shampoo and soap and water. She dried her with a towel. + +Then, her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry I yelled at you, Lily. I know you were just curious. But lotion is for your skin, not your hair. Next time, ask me before you use it, okay?" Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry too. I love you." Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are my sweet girl." They smiled and kissed. Lily felt better. She learned a lesson. She decided to wear lotion only on her skin from now on. +Anna and Ben are young friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the library with their moms. The library has many books and files. Files are papers with words and pictures. + +Anna and Ben see a big file on a table.

It says 'Do not touch'," Ben says. + +"But maybe it has something fun inside. Maybe it has a story or a puzzle," Anna says. + +She reaches for the file. Ben tries to stop her. But it is too late. Anna pulls the file and it falls on the floor. Papers fly everywhere. Some papers have numbers and letters. Some papers have maps and flags. Some papers have stamps and stickers. + +"Oh no! We made a mess!" Ben says. + +The librarian hears the noise. She comes to the table. She sees the papers on the floor. She sees Anna and Ben. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?

But soon, Tom's tricycle started to go slower and slower. + +Harry asked Tom, "Why are you going so slow?" Tom said with a sigh, "It's my tricycle, it's broken". Harry thought for a moment and then he said, "Let's switch. I can lend you my bike." + +Tom smiled and took the bike from Harry. He started to pedal and it went really fast. Tom was so happy and shouted, "This bike is so cute and fast! I win!" + +Harry smiled and said, "That's okay. It's more fun when we both settle". Tom agreed and they both settled down in the park after a day of fun. +Once upon a time there was a loyal lion. He lived in the zoo and was loved by everyone. One day he heard a cry for help.

One evening her mum showed her a special truth - that there is nothing to be scared of when it's dark outside. + +Mum showed Rose how to make a lamp with a bottle, some paper and a candle.

She even made some silly tuna jokes. + +Her friend's dog was so encouraged with her spirited attitude that it wasn't long before he started to join in the laughter too.

She looked around, but all she could see was the garden outside. She thought it was harmless so she went to investigate. +As she got closer she saw a pick lying on the ground.

It must have been left behind by a fairy." + +Jane's eyes got wide and she gasped. She clutched the spark to her chest and said, "That's so cool! I'm going to keep it forever!" + +And ever since then, Jane always carries her spark with her. It gives her comfort and reminds her of the beautiful garden in her home. +Little Sally was in her backyard playing with her friends when something weird happened.

The other brother was different - he was very careful and he treasured all the things he had. + +One day, the two brothers went to the market to gather food. They saw a variety of tasty treats, but the careful brother carefully looked for the best value.

He wasted money on things that he didn't need and the careful brother was very angry with him. + +The careful brother had a plan.

There was a big tree in the garden, and someone was shaking it. Sandy was worried. She yelled out, 'Stop shaking the tree, please!' + +The person stopped and Sandy realized it was her friend, Jack.

Sandy smiled and the two of them went back to playing the rest of the day. Sandy was glad that the clever plant helped her friend in a time of need. +Once upon a time, there was a little frog who was frustrated with its life in the swamp.

That tickles!" + +The frog was shocked! It looked around and saw a big, friendly turtle swimming towards it. + +"What are you doing in the swamp?" asked the frog. + +The turtle replied, "I'm just here to make you smile.

So they held hands and twisted down the slide, screaming and laughing all the way. + +When they reached the bottom, they saw something else that made them even happier – a big, safe, basket filled with yummy treats. Joe said to Tom, "Let's pick one each and share it together!" Tom agreed and they each chose a yummy treat. As they shared, they both had the biggest smiles on their faces. They had enjoyed their exploration day at the park and all the fun they had. +Once upon a time there was a little cat who loved to move. Every day the cat would bounce around and run outside to explore. One day while running, the cat came to a gorgeous wedding. The furry cat watched with wide eyes as two people joined in marriage. + +The scent of delicious cakes filled the air and the cat was so excited that it even joined in the party. It hopped up onto the table and nibbled on a big piece of cake. Yum! It was so delicious that the cat had to have more. + +Soon, the day was filled with fun and laughter as the cat moved around with the wedding guests. Everyone was having such a good time and the cat was so happy to have been invited. + +When the day was over, the cat hugged the bride and groom goodbye and wished them all the best for the future.

Bob was upset and he cried because he did not get to watch the great jet flying. +Once upon a time, there was a small yellow dress. It was finely crafted with the finest fabrics and stitched with the best silks. Every day the little yellow dress would go to the market and twirl around hoping someone would take notice. + +Day after day, no one ever paid attention to the little yellow dress. Discouraged, the dress hung in the window of the market, slowly losing its bright yellow color. + +One day, a small girl walked into the store. She had a few coins in her pocket and wanted to buy something special. When she saw the little yellow dress, she was captivated by its beauty. The girl quickly asked the shopkeeper if she could purchase it. + +The shopkeeper agreed to let the girl take the dress. She excitedly rushed home, put it on and skipped down the street. When a neighbor saw her, they asked why she was so excitedly wearing the yellow dress. The girl said, “because I'm celebrating how special I am!†+ +The moral of the story is that everyone should celebrate how unique and special they are. No matter what color dress you may wear, it is important to always remember that you are special and worth celebrating. +Once upon a time, there was a magical costume party. Everyone was having a lot of fun. There was music playing, and they were all wearing colorful costumes. + +One of the guest was a wealthy princess. She was wearing an extra special costume that was covered in sparkles. When she arrived, everyone oohed and ahhed over her dress. + +The wealthy princess said, "I am having so much fun at this party. I am really enjoying myself." + +The other guests smiled and said, "We are too! We are having a great time here." + +The party went on late into the night and everyone had a wonderful time. Everyone enjoyed dressing up in colorful costumes and dancing with their friends. + +At the end of the night, the wealthy princess said, "What a magical night! Thanks for letting me join the party, I had a great time!" + +And everyone said, "We did too!" +Daisy was excited to be at the ocean. She could see the sun shining off the water. She saw a leaf floating in the water. Daisy wanted to swim with the leaf, so she stepped into the water. + +Luckily, Daisy was a strong swimmer. She enjoyed the cool feeling of the water on her skin. Daisy kept her eye on the leaf and followed it. Suddenly the the leaf entered a disgusting brown patch of water. + +The water smelled terrible and Daisy became scared.

Its warning had saved her from a stinky experience! +Once upon a time, there was a baby frog who wanted to go on an adventure. He hopped and hopped until he reached a swamp. In the swamp was a big pile of mud. All around, the baby frog could hear strange noises that made him feel a bit scared. + +"What is that?" he asked. + +Suddenly, the baby frog saw a huge frog who was balancing on a big lily pad. He tried to copy the big frog and tried to balance on the pad too. It was so much fun! + +The baby frog continued to jump, but every time he jumped, he made a huge mess with the mud. Suddenly, he heard a voice which said, "Watch out! You're making a crazy mess!" + +The baby frog looked up and it was the big frog from before. The big frog had been watching him the whole time and had noticed how much fun he was having. The big frog showed the baby frog how to properly balance on the lily pad without making a mess. + +The baby frog was so happy and he learned a lot. He thanked the big frog for teaching him how to balance and promised to be more careful with the mud. He taught his friends the same lesson, so they could all have fun and stay safe. +Amy was playing in the garden one day when she saw something cold. She felt curious and went to have a closer look. She saw that it was a rub. It was a shiny silver rub with a handle. + +Amy wanted to take it home but it was heavy and she couldn't lift it. She tried tugging and pulling but it wouldn't move. She tried pushing it, but it was still too heavy. She was getting frustrated and started to cry. + +Just then, her mum came out and saw her crying. She put her arm around Amy and said, "I can help you with this, darling." She then bent down and picked up the rub with ease.

One day, the bear was walking past the sink when he noticed something blinking on the ground. He blinked and saw it was a shiny coin. + +The bear smiled and jumped up. He said “My lucky day! I will be able to get an extra treat.†He carefully scooped up the coin. Suddenly, he heard a loud voice. + +“Hey! That’s my coin!†+ +The bear froze and looked around. He saw a huge grizzly bear standing in the doorway of the cave. The bear trembled. The grizzly bear said, “Give me back my coin.†+ +The little bear gulped and slowly shook his head. The grizzly bear roared with anger and chased the little bear away from the cave. + +The moral of the story is that it is wrong to take something that does not belong to you.

The angel's wings were bright and shiny and he had a friendly face. He wanted to surprise the world. + +One day, the special angel flew to a happy home.

The children couldn't believe it. + +The angel laughed, said goodbye and flew away. From then on, the children had a gentle reminder of the angel's surprise every time they saw a rainbow. +It was a sunny day and Jules and Bob were playing in the yard. They were both jolly and laughing. Suddenly, Jules stopped and pointed to the sky. + +"Look!" He said. + +Bob looked up and saw a plane flying by. + +"Let's pretend it's a war plane!" Jules said, excitedly. + +They started to play pretend war, running around the yard and pretending to shoot at each other with sticks. Suddenly, Jules's mom stepped out onto the porch. + +"Time to spend! Inside, now!" She said, sternly. + +Jules and Bob stopped and hung their heads.

Jules's Mom said. + +Jules and Bob sighed and reluctantly, they went inside. + +Although they were sad to have to end their war game, they knew that spending time indoors with their mom was still a jolly time. +Lola liked to swing very much.

He said that Lola couldn't go on the swing today because there was a storm coming. Lola felt very sad and disappointed. She really wanted to go on the swing today! She tried to convince her dad but he said no. + +Lola got very mad at her dad. She stomped her feet, yelled and even cried. She couldn't understand why she wasn't allowed to swing. After a while, she realised that her dad was only being serious to make sure she stayed safe from the storm. She quickly hugged her dad and said that she understood and wouldn't swing anymore. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Susie who loved to play outside.

She worked on it all year, and eventually the tree was as good as new. + +The little girl was proud of her work and so was the ancient tree. + +The tree said to the little girl “Thank you for repairing me. I will be here for many more years to come!†+"Mommy, what is that man doing with the dog?" asked Tommy, his blue eyes wide with curiosity. + +"He is a veterinarian and he is giving the dog a check-up," Mommy explained. + +"Why?" Tommy asked. + +"Because the dog is scared and she needs some help," Mommy said, smiling. + +Mommy and Tommy watched as the veterinarian opened the dog's mouth and listened to her heartbeat.

"It's not safe to touch caterpillars," the lady warned. "Unless you want to get a yucky rash!" + +The little girl listened carefully, and thanked the lady for her kind warning. She then continued on her way, enjoying the sunshine and all the wonderful creatures she saw along the way. +Once upon a time there was a little girl who was very lucky.
