We want to be friends." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"Good," she said. "I'm proud of you. Now, let's go downstairs and find a nice place for the plant.

She put the celery in a big pot with water and salt. Mom said they were making soup for dinner. + +"Can I taste the soup, mom?" Lisa asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. The soup needs to cook for a long time. The heat will make the water and the celery and the other things in the pot increase. That means they will get bigger and softer and more yummy." Mom explained. + +Lisa nodded. She understood what increase meant. She had seen how her balloon increased when she blew air into it. She wondered if the soup would increase as much as the balloon. + +She waited for a while and then asked again. "Can I taste the soup now, mom?" + +Mom smiled and checked the pot.

We have to stay here and play with our cars. That is our promise to Mommy. She said we can't go near the fence." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He let go of her hand and ran to the fence. He wanted to touch the dog and make friends with him. He thought the dog would like him and his red car.

She says they will not make the cake today. + +Sara cries and says she is sorry. She tries to clean up the mess, but it is difficult. The strawberries are sticky and smelly. She does not have a mop or a cloth. She uses her hands and some paper towels, but they get wet and tear. She feels more sad and angry. She wishes she had good strawberries and a nice cake. + +She finishes cleaning and goes to her room. She slams the door and lies on her bed. She does not want to talk to anyone.

They did not listen to each other. They did not hear their mom's voice. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. "You have to take turns. Or you can't play with the car at all." + +But Ben and Lily did not stop. They kept fighting. They did not see the car slip from their hands. They did not see the car roll off the table. They did not see the car hit the floor. + +Crash! + +The car broke into pieces. The button popped out. The wheels came off. The car was ruined. + +Ben and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at the car. They felt sad. They felt sorry. They had been bad. They had been selfish. They had broken their new car. + +They looked at each other. They looked at Mom. They said in a small voice: + +"We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry, car. We're poor drivers." +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. But then they saw a big mosquito. It was buzzing and flying near them. They were worried. They did not like mosquitoes. Mosquitoes could bite and make them itch. + +"Go away, mosquito!" Anna shouted. She waved her arms and tried to scare it. But the mosquito did not go away. It came closer and closer to Anna. Ben saw it and ran to help his sister. He had a stick in his hand.

Are you okay, Anna?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I'm okay. Thank you for helping me, Ben. You are brave." Anna said. + +"You are welcome, Anna. You are brave too. Let's go inside.

The plane will come soon and then we can have fun." + +"But Mom, it's taking too long," Ben said. "I don't like the airport. I want to go home." + +"Mia, too," Mia said. "The airport is loud and scary. I want my teddy." + +Mom and Dad sighed. They did not know what to do. They gave Ben and Mia some snacks and books and tried to distract them. + +Then, they heard a voice on the speaker. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are sorry to announce that your flight has been delayed due to bad weather. We apologize for the inconvenience and we will update you as soon as possible." + +Mom and Dad looked at each other with worry. They knew that Ben and Mia would not like this news. They braced themselves for more tantrums and complaints. + +But to their surprise, Ben and Mia did not say anything. They looked out the window and saw something incredible. They saw a rainbow in the sky, shining with bright colors. They saw a plane flying over the rainbow, leaving a trail of white smoke. They saw a bird landing on the wing of the plane, singing a sweet song. + +Ben and Mia smiled and clapped their hands. They forgot about their boredom and tiredness.

It's incredible!" + +"Dad, can we go on that plane?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe someday, son," Dad said. "But for now, let's enjoy this moment. It's a gift from the sky." + +Ben and Mia nodded and cuddled with Mom and Dad. They watched the rainbow plane and the birdie plane until they disappeared in the clouds. They learned that sometimes, the airport can be a wonderful place. They learned that sometimes, they have to settle down and wait for a surprise. They learned that sometimes, they can find joy and beauty in unexpected things. +Anna loved to admire her dad's car. It was big and shiny and made a loud noise when he started it.

She practiced a lot and carried her flute in a special case. + +When it was time for the show, Anna walked on the stage with her flute. She opened the case and took out her flute. But something was wrong. Her flute was not her flute. It was a banana! Someone had switched her flute with a banana! + +Anna felt very embarrassed. She did not know what to do. She looked at the banana and then at the people. They were all staring at her. Some of them were laughing. Anna wanted to cry. + +Then, she had an idea. She pretended that the banana was her flute.

Ben and Lily were curious. They ran outside and saw a man with a big smile. He said he had all kinds of dessert for them, and they did not have to pay or do chores. Ben and Lily were happy. They followed the man to his truck. + +But the man was not nice. He was a bad man who wanted to kidnap Ben and Lily. He locked them in his truck and drove away. Ben and Lily were scared. They cried and shouted for help, but no one heard them. They wished they had listened to their mom and stayed home. They wished they had eaten their dinner and done their chores. They wished they had not gone to the mysterious truck. They learned a hard lesson: dessert is not free, and strangers are not friends. +Anna liked to imagine things. She imagined she was a princess, a pirate, a doctor, or a fairy. She imagined she had a big castle, a ship, a hospital, or a garden. She imagined she had many friends, animals, toys, or flowers. + +One day, she found a big box in the basement. It had a label that said "Books". Anna was curious. She opened the box and saw many books. Some had pictures, some had words, some had both. She picked one book and opened it. It was a book about dinosaurs. + +"Wow!" Anna said.

They felt a lot of pain and regret. They wished they had not climbed on the statue. They wished they had listened to the sign and the people. They learned a hard lesson that day. They were not lions. They were just naughty children who did a very bad thing. +Anna liked to examine things. She liked to look at them, touch them, and ask questions. One day, she saw a new thing in the park. It was a scooter. It had two wheels, a handle, and a board to stand on. + +Anna wanted to examine the scooter. She walked over to it and touched the wheels. They were round and smooth.

Give me yours," Anna said, trying to grab Ben's marble. + +"No, mine is better. You give me yours," Ben said, pulling his marble away. + +They were so busy fighting that they did not see the cat sneaking up behind them. The cat was curious and hungry.

It thought they were disgusting. + +Anna and Ben heard the cat and turned around. They saw their marbles scattered on the floor and the cat running away. + +"Oh no!
