He couldn't understand why he had to applaud, but he trusted the voice so he clapped his hands as loud as he could. + +Suddenly, the metal machine began to move away from Bob and music filled the forest. As he watched, colorful animals - bears, lions, birds and elephants - began to come out from behind the trees. They were all dancing and having a wonderful time. + +Bob was so excited that he clapped even louder, praising the wonderful gift he had been given.

It looks like a bird. + +"Wow, look at the kite!" Tom says. "It can fly so high!" + +"I want to fly too," Lily says. "Can we fly, Tom?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He runs to his bike. He has a medal on his bike. It is shiny and round. He got it from his dad for being good. + +"Come on, Lily!" Tom says. "We can fly with my bike!" + +Lily follows Tom. She gets on the bike behind him. Tom pedals fast. The wind blows in their hair. They feel like they are flying. + +"Yay, we are flying!" Lily says. "This is fun!" + +Tom smiles. He looks at his medal. It sparkles in the sun. He is proud of his medal. + +But then, something bad happens. The medal falls off the bike. It lands on the grass. Tom does not see it. He keeps pedaling. + +"Oh no, Tom!" Lily says. "Your medal! It is gone!" + +Tom stops the bike. He looks back. He does not see his medal. He feels worried. He likes his medal. He does not want to lose it. + +"Where is it, Lily?" Tom asks. "Where is my medal?" + +Lily points to the grass. "It is there, Tom. I saw it fall." + +Tom and Lily get off the bike. They run to the grass. They look for the medal. They hope they can find it. +Sam did not want to go to class. He wanted to play with his toys and watch TV. He said to his mom, "No class, no class, no class!" + +His mom said, "Sam, you have to go to class. You will learn new things and make new friends. Class is fun and good for you." + +Sam did not listen. He resist his mom. He hid under the bed and cried. He said, "I don't like class. Class is boring and hard. I want to stay home." + +His mom was sad and angry. She said, "Sam, stop resisting. You are not a baby anymore. You are a big boy. You have to go to class like other kids. Class is not boring and hard. Class is ordinary and easy. You will like it if you try." + +She pulled him out from under the bed and gave him a hug. She said, "I love you, Sam. I know you are scared, but you can do it. I will be with you until you feel safe. Trust me, class will be fun and good for you." + +Sam felt his mom's love and calm. He said, "I love you, mom. I am sorry for resisting. I will go to class with you. Maybe class will be fun and good for me." + +They got ready and went to class. Sam saw other kids playing and smiling. He saw his teacher welcoming and kind. He felt curious and brave. He said, "Hi, I am Sam. Can I play with you?" + +He made new friends and learned new things. He had fun and good in class. He was happy and proud. He said, "Mom, you were right. Class is ordinary and easy. Class is fun and good for me. Thank you for helping me." +One day, a little bird wanted to soar high in the sky. He flapped his wings and flew up and up, feeling happy and free. He saw many things from above, like trees, houses, cars and people. + +But he also saw a big, loud plane. The plane was faster and louder than the bird, and it came very close to him. The bird was frightened and tried to get away, but the plane was too fast. The bird cried out, "Help, help, help!" + +A cop heard the bird's cry and looked up. He saw the bird and the plane, and he knew the bird was in danger. He ran to his car and turned on the siren and the lights. He drove after the plane, hoping to scare it away. + +The plane saw the cop's car and heard the siren and the lights. The plane was surprised and confused, and it slowed down and changed its course. The bird saw the cop's car and felt relieved and grateful. He flew down and landed on the cop's shoulder. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" the bird said to the cop. "You saved me from the plane!" + +"You're welcome, little bird," the cop said. "But you should be careful when you soar high in the sky. There are many dangers up there, and you are small and fragile. You should stay close to your friends and family, and only fly where it is safe." + +The bird nodded and thanked the cop again. He flew back to his nest, where his friends and family were waiting for him. He told them what happened, and they hugged him and praised him for being brave. He learned his lesson, and he never flew too high again. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful when you explore new things, and always listen to the advice of those who care for you. +Tom liked to write. He had a big book with many pages. He wrote his name, his mom's name, and his dog's name. He wrote about what he saw and what he did. He used a blue pen and a red pen. + +One day, he saw a bee outside his window. The bee was yellow and black. It flew from flower to flower. Tom was eager to write about the bee. He grabbed his book and his pens and ran outside. + +He sat on the grass and watched the bee. He wrote: "The bee is small and fast. It likes the flowers. It makes a buzz sound." He drew a picture of the bee and the flowers. He was happy with his writing. + +He wanted to show his mom his writing. He got up and ran to the house. But he forgot his book on the grass. The bee saw the book and flew to it. It liked the colors and the shapes. It landed on the picture of the bee and the flowers. + +Tom's mom came out of the house. She saw Tom and smiled. She saw the book and the bee. She said: "Tom, you wrote a very nice story. And look, you have a new friend. The bee likes your writing too." Tom looked at the book and the bee. He smiled and said: "Thank you, mom. The bee is my friend. I will write more stories for the bee." +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles with their blocks. Sometimes they shared their blocks, but sometimes they fought over them. + +One day, they decided to see who could build the most impressive tower with their blocks. They split their blocks into two piles, one for each of them. They started to build their towers on opposite sides of the room. They used a measure to see how tall their towers were. They wanted to make their towers taller and taller. + +"Look at my tower, it is so impressive!" Tom said. "It is much taller than yours!" + +"No, it is not!" Sam said. "My tower is more impressive! It has more colors and shapes!" + +They argued and argued. They did not listen to each other. They did not care about each other's feelings. They only cared about their own towers. + +They kept adding more blocks to their towers, until they ran out of blocks. They looked at their towers and saw that they were very tall and impressive. But they also saw that they were very wobbly and unstable. They had used too many blocks and not enough balance. + +Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the window. It shook their towers and made them fall down. The blocks crashed and scattered all over the floor. Tom and Sam's towers were gone. They had nothing left to show for their work. + +They looked at each other and felt sad and angry. They had wasted their time and their blocks. They had hurt their brotherhood. They had learned a hard lesson. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and selfish. Share and cooperate with others. Be humble and respectful. Or you might lose everything you have. +Anna liked to sing. She sang all the time. She sang in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. She sang loud and soft, high and low, fast and slow. She sang songs she knew and songs she made up. She sang like a bird. + +One day, Anna heard about a place where people sang very well. It was called opera. She wanted to go there and see and hear the singers. She asked her mom if they could go. Her mom said yes, but they had to be quiet and listen. Anna said she could do that. + +They went to the opera. It was a big and beautiful place. There were many people there. They all sat in chairs and looked at a stage. On the stage, there were singers and actors. They wore fancy clothes and had funny faces. They sang and talked in a language Anna did not understand. But they sang very well. Anna liked their voices. They sounded unique. + +Anna wanted to sing with them. She thought she could sing as well as they did. She waited for a moment when they stopped singing. Then she stood up on her chair and sang her own song. She sang loud and proud. She sang with all her heart. + +But the people did not like her song. They did not like that she sang when they wanted to listen. They did not like that she sang in a different language. They did not like that she sang on her chair. They did not like her at all. They shouted at her. They told her to be quiet. They told her to sit down. They told her to go away. Some of them threw things at her. They were very mean. + +Anna was scared and sad. She did not understand why they were so angry. She did not mean to make them mad. She just wanted to sing. She liked to sing. She stopped singing and cried. Her mom took her by the hand and tried to calm her down. They left the opera. They did not stay to see the end. Anna never wanted to go to the opera again. She never wanted to sing again. She felt like a bird with a broken wing. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw some big dogs with long hair and wagging tails. Lily wanted to pet them, but Ben was scared. + +"Mom, can I touch the dogs?" Lily asked. + +"Only if their owners say it's okay, and you are gentle," mom said. "Some dogs don't like strangers, and they can be dangerous." + +Lily and Ben walked over to the dogs with mom. They asked the owners if they could say hello. The owners nodded and smiled. Lily and Ben reached out their hands to stroke the dogs' fur. + +One of the dogs was very friendly and licked Lily's face. She giggled and hugged him. The other dog was shy and nervous. He backed away from Ben and sneezed. + +"Ah-choo!" the dog sneezed. + +"Wow, that was a big sneeze!" Ben said. "Are you okay, doggy?" + +The dog looked at Ben with his big brown eyes. He wagged his tail a little bit. He seemed to like Ben's voice. + +Ben smiled and moved closer to the dog. He gently touched his ear and said, "Don't worry, doggy. I won't hurt you. You have nice hair." + +The dog relaxed and leaned into Ben's hand. He licked Ben's nose and made a happy sound. + +"Look, mom, he likes me!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, he does. You are very kind, Ben. And you are very brave, Lily. You both made new friends today." +Tom and Anna liked to play pretend. They had an old theater in their backyard. It was a big box with a curtain and some chairs. They liked to dress up and act out stories for their toys. + +One day, they decided to play a magic show. Tom wore a hat and a cape and Anna wore a dress and a wand. They took turns doing tricks for their audience. Tom pulled a rabbit out of his hat. Anna made a flower appear from her wand. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Tom had an idea. He wanted to do the best trick ever. He asked Anna to be his helper. He told her to stand behind the curtain and wait for his signal. He said he would make her disappear. + +Anna agreed. She was curious and excited. She went behind the curtain and waited. Tom faced the toys and said, "For my final trick, I will make my sister disappear. Watch closely. Abra-cadabra!" + +He pulled the curtain open. But Anna was not there. She was gone. Tom was shocked. He looked around, but he could not see her. He called her name, but he did not hear her. He did not know what to do. He started to cry. + +Anna heard him cry. She felt sorry for him. She came out from her hiding place. She had sneaked out of the box and hid behind a tree. She wanted to surprise him. She did not know he would be so scared. + +She ran to him and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I did not mean to scare you. I was just playing. I did not really disappear. I was behind the tree. Can you forgive me?" + +Tom was relieved and happy. He hugged her back. He said, "I forgive you, Anna. I'm glad you're back. You're the best sister ever. But next time, please don't do that. You made me very worried." + +They smiled and kissed. They said sorry to their toys. They decided to play something else. They still liked to play pretend, but they never played a magic show again. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big black cat in the garden. Ben wanted to pet the cat, but Mia was fearful. She said, "No, Ben, the cat is scary. It has sharp teeth and claws. It might hurt us." + +But Ben did not listen. He said, "The cat is not scary. It is soft and fluffy. Maybe it is hungry. I have some milk in my cup. I will give it to the cat and it will be my friend." He took his cup and walked towards the cat. + +Mia was worried. She said, "Ben, come back. The cat is not your friend. It is a wild animal. It does not like milk. It likes meat. It might eat you." She tried to follow Ben, but she was too slow. + +The cat saw Ben coming with the milk. It did not like milk. It liked meat. It saw Ben as meat. It growled and hissed. It jumped on Ben and bit him. Ben screamed and dropped the cup. The milk spilled on the ground. + +Mia heard Ben scream. She ran to help him, but it was too late. The cat had hurt Ben badly. He was bleeding and crying. Mia was scared and sad. She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I tried to warn you. The cat was not your friend. It was a bad cat." She called for help, but no one heard them. They were alone in the garden with the cat. The cat was still hungry. It looked at Mia and licked its lips. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the trees. Sara saw a long, thin thing on the ground. It was green and brown and had a forked tongue. It was a snake. + +"Look, Ben, a snake!" Sara said. She wanted to touch it. She was curious and brave. + +"No, Sara, don't!" Ben said. He was scared and careful. He knew snakes could bite and hurt. "Snakes are bad. Stay away from them." + +Sara did not listen to Ben. She thought he was silly and afraid. She wanted to show him she was not. She dared to go near the snake. She reached out her hand to touch it. + +The snake did not like Sara. It felt her hand coming closer. It was angry and defensive. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth. It bit Sara's hand hard. + +Sara screamed. She felt a sharp pain in her hand. She saw blood and a mark. She was sorry and scared. She ran to Ben and cried. + +Ben hugged Sara. He was sorry and worried. He called for help. He wished Sara had listened to him. + +The moral of the story is: do not dare to do things that are dangerous and harmful. Listen to those who care for you and warn you. Snakes are not toys. They are delicate and wild. Respect them and keep away from them. +Tom is a little boy who likes to jump. He jumps on his bed, he jumps on the sofa, he jumps on the grass. He thinks jumping is fun and makes him happy. + +One day, Tom sees a big table in the kitchen. It has a lot of food on it. Tom is hungry and curious. He wants to see what is on the table. He runs to the table and tries to jump on it. + +But the table is too high for Tom. He cannot reach it. He falls down and hurts his knee. He cries and feels sad. He also smells something bad. He looks at the floor and sees a smelly fish. The fish was on the table and fell down when Tom jumped. Tom does not like the smelly fish. He thinks it is yucky and gross. + +Mom hears Tom crying and comes to the kitchen. She sees Tom on the floor and the smelly fish. She hugs Tom and says, "Are you okay, my sweetie? Why did you jump on the table? You know you are not supposed to do that. It is dangerous and rude. The table is for eating, not for jumping." + +Tom says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was hungry and curious. I wanted to see the food. But I could not reach it. And the fish is smelly and yucky. I don't like it." + +Mom says, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to be careful and listen to me. Jumping on the table is not a good idea. You can hurt yourself and make a mess. The fish is smelly because it is old and spoiled. You should not eat it. It can make you sick. I have some fresh and yummy food for you. Come, let me clean your knee and give you a snack." + +Tom says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. And I love your food. But I still love jumping. Can I jump on the grass later?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can. But only on the grass. And only after you eat and rest. Jumping is fun, but you have to be safe and polite. Do you understand?" + +Tom says, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I will be a good boy. And I will never jump on the table again." + +Mom says, "That's good, Tom. I'm proud of you. Now, let's go and have some snack. And maybe we can read a story together. How about that?" + +Tom says, "Yes, Mom. That sounds great. I like stories. And I like you." + +Mom says, "I like you too, Tom. You are my sweet and smart boy. And I love you very much." +Ben and Lily liked to play sport in the park. They had a ball and a net.

The dog grabbed the ball in his mouth and ran away. Ben and Lily were sad and scared. They wanted their ball back. + +"Hey, give us our ball!" Ben shouted at the dog. + +The dog did not listen. He was happy with his new toy. He ran to the other side of the park, where there was a fence. He tried to jump over the fence, but he was too big. He got stuck on the fence. He dropped the ball and started to bark. + +Ben and Lily saw the dog on the fence. They were confused. Why did the dog do that? They ran to the fence and saw their ball on the ground. They picked it up and hugged it. + +"Thank you, dog, for giving us our ball back," Lily said to the dog. + +The dog was still stuck on the fence. He looked sad and sorry. He wagged his tail and licked Lily's hand. + +"Maybe the dog wanted to play with us," Ben said to Lily. + +"Maybe we can be friends with the dog," Lily said to Ben. + +They decided to help the dog escape from the fence. They pushed and pulled the fence until the dog was free. The dog jumped and licked their faces. He was happy and grateful. + +They played sport with the dog.

They are brothers. +Lily and Ben were outside at night with their mom and dad. They wanted to see the comet that was in the sky. Mom and dad said the comet was a big ball of ice and dust that flew very fast. They said the comet would pass by the earth only once in a long time. + +"Look, there it is!" mom said, pointing at a bright streak in the dark. "That's the comet!" + +Lily and Ben gasped and clapped their hands. They thought the comet was beautiful and shiny. They watched it as it moved across the sky. + +"Can we catch the comet?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, the comet is too far and too fast for us to catch," dad said. "But we can make a wish on it. Do you want to make a wish?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They closed their eyes and thought of something they wanted. Lily wished for a new doll. Ben wished for a big truck. + +"Did you make your wish?" mom asked. + +"Yes!" Lily and Ben said. + +"Good. Now let's go inside and have some hot chocolate. It's cold out here," mom said. + +Lily and Ben followed their mom and dad inside. They drank some hot chocolate that was delicious and warm. They thanked their mom and dad for letting them see the comet. + +"Maybe our wishes will come true," Lily said. + +"Maybe," Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy and sleepy.

He made a sun, a star, a heart, and a smiley face. He was having fun. He did not hear his mom calling him. + +His mom came to the garden and saw the coins. She was very angry. She said, "Tom, what have you done? These coins are for the poor people. We were going to give them to the church. They need them more than we do.

She was very happy and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, I found a heart rock! Do you like it?" Sara asked. + +Tom looked at the rock and felt jealous. He wanted to have a nice rock too.

She liked to cut paper, cloth, and even her hair. She thought it was fun to make different shapes and sounds with the scissors. But she did not know how to be careful with the scissors. She did not listen to her mom and dad when they told her to only cut with their help. + +One day, Lila found a book about animals in her room. She saw a picture of an otter. She liked the otter. It had brown fur and a long tail. It looked happy and friendly. Lila wanted to cut out the otter and keep it as a toy. She took her scissors and started to cut the book. + +But the book was thick and hard. The scissors did not cut well. Lila had to use a lot of force. She did not see that her finger was near the blade. She cut her finger by mistake. It hurt a lot. She cried and dropped the scissors and the book. + +Her mom heard her cry and ran to her room. She saw the blood and the mess. She was angry and worried. She took Lila to the bathroom and washed her finger. She put a band-aid on it and hugged her. + +"Lila, why did you cut the book? That was a stupid thing to do. You could have hurt yourself badly. And you ruined the book. That was not yours to cut. That was a gift from your grandma. She loves you and wanted you to learn about animals. How do you think she would feel if she saw what you did?" Mom said. + +Lila felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she had been wrong. She did not want to hurt herself or the book or her grandma. She wanted to be a good girl and a good friend to the otter. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was silly. I wanted to play with the otter. But I should have asked you first. And I should have been careful with the scissors. I don't want to cut anymore. I want to read the book and learn about the otter. Can you please forgive me? And can you please call grandma and tell her I'm sorry too?" Lila said. + +Mom smiled and kissed her. She was glad that Lila learned her lesson. She forgave her and called grandma. Grandma was not mad. She was happy that Lila was okay and that she wanted to read the book. She said she loved her and sent her a new picture of an otter. + +Lila thanked her and hung the picture on her wall. She looked at the otter and smiled. She decided to name it Ollie. She promised to be a good friend to Ollie and to all the animals in the book. She also promised to be careful with the scissors and to listen to her mom and dad. She learned that cutting was not always fun and that being stupid was not cool. She learned to be respectful and responsible. And she lived happily ever after.

They asked mom, "Can we have a lollipop, please?" + +Mom said, "Sure, you can have a lollipop. But only one each. And you have to brush your teeth after you eat it." + +Mia and Leo said, "Okay, mom. Thank you!" + +Mom gave them each a lollipop. Mia chose a pink one. Leo chose a blue one. They licked their lollipops and made yummy noises. They thought their lollipops were incredible.

They were happy. + +But then, they heard a loud roar. It was a bear. A big, hairy bear. The bear smelled the pears and wanted to eat them too. The bear came to the tree and growled. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not want to share their pears with the bear. They did not want to be eaten by the bear. They looked for a way to escape. + +They saw a branch that was close to another tree. They jumped from the branch to the other tree. The bear could not follow them. The bear was angry and sad. + +Lily and Tom ran to the park gate. They saw their moms and dads. They told them about the bear and the pears. Their moms and dads hugged them and praised them.

They were delicious. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the yard. One day, they found a big piece of iron that was heavy and sharp. They wanted to use it for their game of knights and dragons. + +"I want to be the knight and have the iron sword!" Tom said. + +"No, I want to be the knight and have the iron sword!" Sam said. + +They both pulled on the iron, but it was too heavy and sharp for them. They hurt their hands and started to cry. + +"Boys, what are you doing?" Mom came out and saw them. She was angry and worried. "That iron is not a toy! It is dangerous! You could cut yourselves or drop it on your feet!" + +She took the iron away from them and put it in the shed. She cleaned their hands and gave them a hug. + +"Next time, play with something safe and fun, like your blocks or your balls. And share with each other, okay?" Mom said. + +Tom and Sam nodded and said sorry. They learned their lesson and went to play with their blocks and balls. They were happy and friendly again. +Sara likes to find new things. She likes to look under her bed, in her closet, and in the garden. One day, she finds a big book with many pictures and words. She opens the book and sees a spell. A spell is something that makes magic happen. + +The spell says: "Say these words and you will see a pink fairy with wings and a wand. She will be your friend and play with you. But be careful, do not say the words again or she will go away." + +Sara thinks the spell is fun. She wants to see a pink fairy. She says the words out loud: "Flora, Zara, Lora, Mora." She waits and looks around. Nothing happens. She says the words again: "Flora, Zara, Lora, Mora." She waits and looks around. Still nothing happens. + +She is sad and thinks the spell is not real. She closes the book and puts it back under her bed. She goes to play with her doll. But as she turns around, she sees something shiny and pink in the corner of her room. It is a pink fairy with wings and a wand. She smiles and says hello. The fairy says hello back and flies to her. She is happy and hugs the fairy. They play together and have fun. + +But Sara forgets the rule of the spell. She likes the fairy so much that she wants to show her to her mom and dad. She says the words again: "Flora, Zara, Lora, Mora." She takes the fairy by the hand and runs to the door. But as she opens the door, the fairy disappears. She is gone. Sara is sad and cries. She wants the fairy back. She says the words again and again: "Flora, Zara, Lora, Mora." But nothing happens. The spell is broken.

They said sorry to each other and to mom. They picked up the sheet and the toys. They decided to imagine and play together. They made the sheet into a tent and the toys into animals.

She wondered what was inside and decided to go closer. She did not tell her mom or dad where she was going. + +She crawled into the hole and found a dark tunnel. She was not afraid and kept going. She saw many strange things in the tunnel, like shiny rocks, old bones, and funny noises. She thought it was fun and wanted to see more. + +But she did not notice that the hole behind her was getting smaller and smaller. The dirt was falling down and blocking the way out. Soon, the hole disappeared and Lily was trapped in the tunnel. She tried to go back, but she could not find the hole. She started to cry and shout for help. + +Her mom and dad heard her cries and ran to the hole. They saw that it was closed and they were very worried.

Her mom and dad gave her a lecture and told her to never go into holes or tunnels without permission. They also told her to always tell them where she was going and to be careful. Lily nodded and said she was sorry. She learned her lesson and promised to be more obedient. She still liked to be adventurous, but she also liked to be safe. +Lily liked to take photos of animals. She had a camera that her dad gave her. She wanted to take a photo of a big, hairy dog that lived next door. But the dog did not like Lily.

She wanted to take a photo of the dog. But she did not ask the dog's owner if she could. She did not permit her to do that. + +She climbed on a chair and leaned over the fence.

She always permitted them to say no. She was a good girl. +Mia was a shy girl who did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her dolls and draw pictures in her room. One day, her mom said they had to go to the store to buy some food. Mia did not want to go, but her mom said she had to. + +At the store, Mia saw a boy who was looking at some toys. He had a big smile and a red hat. He saw Mia and said hello. Mia felt scared and hid behind her mom. The boy came closer and said his name was Ben. He asked Mia what her name was and what she liked to play with. + +Mia did not say anything. She just looked at the floor. She saw a crack in the floor and wondered what was under it. Maybe there were bugs or worms or treasure. She wished she could go home and play with her dolls. + +Ben saw that Mia was shy and did not want to talk. He wanted to be nice and make her feel happy.

She felt sorry for being naughty. She looked at the cactus again. It was still big and green, but it did not look pretty and soft anymore. It looked scary and mean. + +"Mom, can we go inside and play with something else?" Jill asked. + +"Sure, Jill. Let's go inside and find a nice toy for you. How about your ballerina doll? She is very graceful and pretty. She can dance and spin and twirl. She will not hurt you," Mom said. + +Jill smiled and nodded. She liked her ballerina doll.

Lily asked. + +"It's a gift for you and Ben," mom said. "From grandma and grandpa." + +Lily and Ben were very excited. They opened the box. Inside was a big teddy bear for Lily and a toy truck for Ben. + +"Wow, thank you, grandma and grandpa!" they said. + +They hugged their mom and their new toys. + +"Can we play with them outside?" Ben asked. + +Mom shook her head. + +"No, it's too cold. You don't want your toys to freeze, do you?" she said. + +She looked serious. + +Lily and Ben nodded. + +"OK, we will play with them inside," they said. + +They followed their mom to the kitchen. They drank their hot cocoa and ate their cookies. They played with their toys on the rug. They were very happy. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big onion in the dirt. They wanted to see what was inside, so they pulled it out and peeled it. + +But when they peeled the onion, it made their eyes water and their noses sting. They started to cry and sneeze. They did not like the onion at all. + +They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on the porch. They showed them the onion and told them what happened. Mom and dad hugged them and wiped their tears. They said, "You poor kids, onions are not for playing, they are for cooking. They make food taste good, but they also make you speak funny when you eat them." + +Tom and Lily were curious. They asked, "How do they make you speak funny?" Mom and dad smiled and said, "Why don't you try a little bit and see for yourself?" They cut a small piece of onion and gave it to Tom and Lily. + +Tom and Lily put the onion in their mouths and chewed. They made a face and said, "Ew, it is spicy and bitter!" Then they tried to speak, but they could not. They only made funny noises like "Blah, blah, blah" and "Gah, gah, gah". They laughed and spit out the onion. + +Mom and dad laughed too and said, "See, onions make you speak funny. But don't worry, it will go away soon. Next time, you can try some other vegetables that are more fun to play with, like carrots or peas." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "OK, we will. But no more onions, please!" They threw the onion in the trash and ran back to the garden to find more things to play with. They were happy and forgot about the onion. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the farm. They liked to run, jump and laugh with the animals. One day, they saw a big field of corn. The corn was tall and yellow and looked yummy. + +"Let's pick some corn and eat it," Tom said. + +"OK," Lily nodded. They ran to the field and started to pull the corn from the ground. They did not see the farmer who was watching them. + +The farmer was angry. He worked hard to grow the corn for his family and the market. He did not like the children who stole his corn. He grabbed his stick and ran after them. + +"Hey, you! Stop! That's my corn!" he shouted. + +Tom and Lily heard him and got scared. They dropped the corn and tried to run away. But the farmer was faster and caught them. He hit them with his stick and made them cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Please, stop! We're sorry!" Tom and Lily begged. + +"Sorry is not enough. You are bad children. You should not take what is not yours. You should respect other people's things. Now, go home and tell your parents what you did. And don't come back here again!" the farmer said. + +He let them go and watched them run away, sobbing and limping. He picked up the corn and put it back in the field. He shook his head and sighed. + +Tom and Lily learned a hard lesson that day. They realized that they were wrong to steal the corn. They felt ashamed and sorry for what they did. They told their parents and apologized. Their parents were disappointed and angry. They punished them and made them work in the garden. They also made them write a letter to the farmer and say sorry. + +Tom and Lily never stole anything again. They learned to be honest and respectful. They also learned that the farmer was a gifted man. He could grow the best corn in the town. He was kind and generous. He accepted their apology and forgave them. He even gave them some corn as a gift. He told them that they could come and visit him, but only if they asked first. + +The end. +Lila was a very independent girl. She liked to do things by herself, like dressing up, reading books, and playing with her toys. She did not like to share or ask for help. She thought she knew everything. + +One day, she found a big green leaf in the garden. She thought it was very pretty and decided to keep it. She did not tell anyone about her leaf. She hid it in her room, under her pillow. She wanted to have it all for herself. + +She talked to her leaf every night, before she went to sleep. She said, "You are my best friend, leaf. I love you very much. I will take care of you forever." She thought her leaf was happy with her. + +But the next morning, when she woke up, she saw that her leaf was not green anymore. It was brown and dry and crumbly. She touched it and it broke into pieces. She felt very sad and confused. She did not understand what happened to her leaf. + +She ran to her mom and showed her the leaf. She said, "Mom, look at my leaf! It was green and beautiful, and now it is brown and ugly. What did I do wrong? I took care of it, I promise!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Lila, I'm sorry about your leaf. But you see, leaves are not meant to be kept under pillows. They need air and water and sunlight to stay alive. They are part of nature, and they belong to the trees. You cannot keep them for yourself. You have to let them go." + +Lila felt sorry for her leaf. She realized that she had not really taken care of it. She had only thought of herself. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I did not know. I was selfish. Can we go to the garden and find another leaf? I want to say sorry to the tree and give it back." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lila. That's very kind of you. Come on, let's go. And maybe, on the way, you can find a friend who likes leaves too. Someone who can share and help and learn with you. Someone who can care for you, and you can care for them." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, balls, dolls, and gloves. + +One day, they want to play soldiers. They put on the gloves and hold sticks. They march around the park and say, "Hut, hut, hut!" + +But then they see Lily. Lily is a girl. She has a pink bike. She rides around the park and says, "Look at me, look at me!" + +Tom and Sam do not like Lily. They think she is loud and rude. They want her to go away. They march to her and say, "Stop, stop, stop! This is our park. You cannot play here. Go away!" + +Lily does not listen. She says, "No, no, no! This is my park. I can play here. You go away!" + +Tom and Sam are angry. They wave their sticks and say, "We are soldiers. We are great. We will make you go away!" + +Lily is not afraid. She says, "You are not soldiers. You are silly. You have gloves and sticks. I have a bike. I am faster and smarter. I will make you go away!" + +They start to fight. They shout and push and pull. They make a lot of noise. + +But then they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is in the car. She says, "Tom, Sam, Lily, what are you doing? It is time to go home. Stop fighting and come here!" + +They stop fighting. They look at Mom. They feel bad. They say, "Sorry, sorry, sorry!" + +Mom says, "You should not fight. You should share and play nicely. The park is for everyone. You can be friends." + +They nod and say, "Yes, yes, yes!" + +They take off their gloves and put them in the box. They give back their sticks. They say, "Bye, bye, bye!" + +They go to the car. They hug Mom. They go home. They are friends. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big red strawberry on a plant. They wanted to eat it. + +"Let me have it!" Anna said. "I saw it first!" + +"No, I want it!" Ben said. "It is mine!" + +They both pulled the strawberry. But they pulled too hard. The strawberry flew out of their hands and landed in the mud. + +"Oh no!" Anna and Ben said. "Now we cannot eat it!" + +A bird saw the strawberry in the mud. It flew down and picked it up. It flew away with the strawberry. + +"Look!" Anna said. "The bird took our strawberry!" + +"How foolish we are!" Ben said. "We should have shared it!" + +They felt sad and sorry. They learned a lesson. Next time, they would serve each other and be kind. +Ben liked to study books. He liked to learn new things. He had many books in his room. Some books had pictures of animals. Some books had stories of heroes. Some books had words that he could read. + +One day, Ben found a new book. It was a big book with a red cover. It had a picture of a mouse on it. Ben liked mice. He wanted to read the book. He opened the book and saw many words. He could not read them. They were too hard. He felt sad. + +He heard a squeak. He looked around. He saw a small mouse under his bed. The mouse had brown fur and black eyes. It looked at Ben. Ben smiled. He said, "Hello, mouse. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The mouse nodded. It came out of its hiding place. It climbed on Ben's bed. It sniffed the book. It squeaked again. It pointed at the words. It said, "I can help you. I can read this book. It is a book about mice. It tells how mice live and what they do. It is a very good book." + +Ben was surprised. He said, "You can read? You can talk? How can you do that?" + +The mouse said, "I learned from this book. I found it in the library. I studied it every night. It taught me many things. It made me happy." + +Ben was amazed. He said, "That is wonderful. Can you teach me? Can we study together?" + +The mouse said, "Of course. We can be friends. We can share the book. We can learn from each other." + +Ben and the mouse hugged. They were happy. They opened the book and began to study. They did not notice that Ben's mom was watching them from the door. She smiled. She thought, "What a special book. What a special mouse. What a special boy." +Sara and Tom were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and rocks. Sara found a big shell that was shiny and white. She opened it and saw a small oyster inside. She was happy and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, I found an oyster! Maybe it has a pearl inside!" Sara said. + +"Wow, Sara, that's cool! Can I see it?" Tom asked. + +Sara nodded and gave the shell to Tom. He looked at the oyster and saw something orange and round inside. He thought it was a pearl and got excited. + +"Look, Sara, I found a pearl! It's orange and pretty!" Tom said. + +"Really? Let me see!" Sara said. + +Tom shook his head and held the shell close to his chest. He did not want to share the pearl with Sara. He wanted to keep it for himself. + +"No, Sara, it's mine! I found it!" Tom said. + +Sara was sad and angry. She wanted to see the pearl too. She tried to grab the shell from Tom, but he pushed her away. They started to fight and yell. + +"Give it to me, Tom! It's not fair!" Sara said. + +"Go away, Sara! It's mine! Mine!" Tom said. + +Their mom and dad heard them and came to see what was wrong. They saw Sara and Tom fighting over the shell and tried to stop them. + +"What are you doing, Sara and Tom? Why are you fighting?" their mom asked. + +"Sara wants my pearl! She can't have it!" Tom said. + +"Tom has an orange pearl! He won't let me see it!" Sara said. + +Their dad took the shell from Tom and looked at the oyster. He saw the orange thing inside and frowned. He knew what it was and it was not a pearl. + +"Tom, Sara, this is not a pearl. This is a sign. A sign of danger. This oyster is sick and has a disease. The orange thing is a worm that lives inside it and makes it sick. If you touch it, you can get sick too. You have to throw it away and wash your hands right now!" their dad said. + +Sara and Tom were shocked and scared. They did not know the oyster was sick and had a worm. They felt sorry for the oyster and for themselves. They threw the shell away and ran to the water to wash their hands. They hoped they did not get sick too. They learned a hard lesson that day. Sometimes, things that look pretty are not good for you. And sometimes, sharing is better than fighting. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Sara saw Ben's car and wanted it. + +"Give me your car!" Sara demanded. "It is shiny and fast and I like it more than my doll." + +"No!" Ben said. "It is my car and I like it more than your doll. You can't have it!" + +They started to fight over the car, pulling and pushing and shouting. They did not hear their mom calling them to come to the kitchen. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw that it was raining hard. The rain was making big puddles on the street and splashing on the cars. + +"Wow, look at the rain!" Ben said. "It is so wet and fun and I want to go outside and play in it." + +"Me too!" Sara said. "Let's go outside and play in the rain." + +They ran to the door, but their mom stopped them. + +"Where are you going?" she asked. "You can't go outside in the rain. You will get sick and wet and dirty. And you have to finish your lunch first." + +"But mom, we want to play in the rain!" Sara and Ben whined. "It is so boring inside and we have nothing to do." + +"You have plenty of toys to play with," their mom said. "And you should share them nicely with each other. Fighting over toys is not nice and it can break them. Look what you did to Ben's car. It is broken now. How do you think he feels?" + +Sara and Ben looked at Ben's car. It was broken. One of the wheels had come off and the windshield was cracked. They felt sorry for Ben and for the car. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Sara said. "I didn't mean to break your car. I was being selfish and greedy and I didn't think about your feelings." + +"I'm sorry, Sara," Ben said. "I didn't mean to be mean to you. I was being stubborn and rude and I didn't think about your feelings." + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They decided to share their toys and play nicely with each other. They also decided to listen to their mom and eat their lunch. They realized that playing in the rain was not as important as being kind and respectful to each other. + +The moral of the story is: Don't fight over toys. Share them and play nicely with each other. And listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you. +Lily liked to dress up in her mom's clothes. She liked to wear big hats, shiny shoes, and long dresses. She felt like a princess when she dressed up. + +But mom did not like it when Lily dressed up in her clothes. She said Lily could ruin them or lose them. She said Lily had to ask before she took anything from her closet. + +One Wednesday, mom had to go to work early. She left Lily with her grandma. Lily was bored. She wanted to play dress up. She saw mom's closet was open. She saw a hidden box under some coats. She was curious. + +She opened the box. She found a beautiful necklace. It was sparkly and colorful. She put it on. She felt like a queen. She looked for a mirror. She did not see grandma. + +She went to the living room. She saw a big mirror on the wall. She smiled at herself. She did not see the cat. + +The cat saw the necklace. It looked like a toy. It jumped on Lily. It tried to grab the necklace. It scratched Lily's neck. Lily screamed. + +Grandma heard Lily scream. She ran to the living room. She saw Lily, the cat, and the necklace. She was angry. + +"Lily, what are you doing?" she asked. "That is mom's necklace. It is very special. You should not touch it. And look, you are bleeding. The cat hurt you. You are in trouble." + +Lily started to cry. She was sorry. She did not mean to take the necklace. She did not know it was special. She did not see the cat. She was scared. + +Grandma hugged Lily. She was not so angry. She was worried. She took off the necklace. She cleaned Lily's neck. She put a band-aid on it. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you like to dress up. But you have to be careful. And you have to ask before you take things. Mom will be very sad if she loses her necklace. It was a gift from dad. He gave it to her on their wedding day. It is very precious." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She said, "I'm sorry, grandma. I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, cat. I won't do it again. I love you." + +Grandma smiled. She said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's put the necklace back in the box. And let's find something else to play with. How about we make some cookies?" + +Lily liked cookies. She said, "Yes, please. Can I wear your apron?" + +Grandma laughed. She said, "Sure, you can. But only if you wash your hands first." + +Lily washed her hands. She put on grandma's apron. She helped grandma make cookies. She forgot about the necklace. She had fun. She learned a lesson. +Lily and Ben love to sail. They have a small boat that they can take to the lake. They put on their life jackets and hats and get in the boat. Lily holds the rope and Ben steers the boat. They feel the wind and the sun on their faces. + +They see a lot of things on the lake. They see ducks and fish and frogs. They see big boats and small boats. They see a bridge and an island. They wave to the people and the animals. They have fun sailing. + +One day, they see something new on the lake. They see a tiny boat that is only an inch long. It has a white sail and a red flag. It looks like a toy, but it moves by itself. Lily and Ben are curious. They sail closer to the tiny boat. + +They see a tiny person on the tiny boat. He is wearing a blue shirt and a yellow hat. He smiles and waves to Lily and Ben. He says hello in a high voice. Lily and Ben say hello back. They ask him who he is and where he comes from. + +He tells them his name is Tom and he comes from a land of tiny people. He says he likes to sail and explore new places. He says he is healthy and happy. He says he wants to be friends with Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben say they want to be friends with him too. They invite him to sail with them. He says yes. They help him get on their boat. They sail together and have more fun. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big hill with thick grass. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Anna says. "We can step on the grass and go up the hill." + +"OK, Anna!" Ben says. "But be careful, there might be bugs in the grass." + +They hold hands and start to step on the grass. They feel the grass tickle their legs and feet. They laugh and keep going. + +But then, Anna stops. She feels something bite her ankle. She looks down and sees a red spot. It hurts and itches. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna cries. "Something bit me! It itches so much!" + +Ben looks at Anna's ankle. He sees a small black bug on the grass. He thinks it is the one that bit Anna. + +"Anna, I see the bug!" Ben says. "It is a bad bug! It made you itch!" + +He picks up a stick and hits the bug. The bug falls off the grass and does not move. + +"Ben, you are so brave!" Anna says. "You got the bug! Thank you!" + +Ben smiles and hugs Anna. He helps her walk down the hill. They go to their mom and show her Anna's ankle. Mom puts some cream on it and kisses it. + +"It will be OK, Anna," Mom says. "The itch will go away soon. You and Ben are very good at climbing hills. But next time, wear some shoes, OK?" + +"OK, Mom," Anna and Ben say. They hug Mom and each other. They are happy to have each other as friends. +Tom and Lily were playing cowboys and robbers in the backyard. Tom had a toy pistol and a hat. Lily had a scarf and a bag of candy. Tom said, "I am the sheriff and you are the robber. Give me the candy or I will shoot you!" + +Lily said, "No, you can't have my candy. It is mine. You are a bad sheriff. I will run away!" She ran to the other side of the yard and hid behind a tree. + +Tom chased her and said, "Stop, robber! I will catch you!" He saw her behind the tree and aimed his pistol. He said, "Bang, bang, bang!" + +Lily did not fall down. She said, "You missed me, sheriff. Your pistol is not real. It is a toy. You can't hurt me." + +Tom was angry. He said, "Yes, it is real. It is a magic pistol. It can perform deep tricks. Watch this!" He pointed his pistol at the sky and said, "Bang, bang, bang!" + +Suddenly, it started to rain. Big drops of water fell on Tom and Lily. They were wet and cold. They said, "Oh, no! What did you do, Tom? You made it rain with your magic pistol!" + +Tom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not know it would do that. I was just playing. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily said, "OK, Tom. I forgive you. But let's go inside. It is too wet to play outside. And please don't use your magic pistol again. It is too dangerous." + +They ran inside and gave the pistol to their mom. She said, "What are you doing with this, Tom? Where did you get it?" + +Tom said, "It was a gift from Uncle Joe. He said it was a toy. But it is not. It is a magic pistol. It can perform deep tricks. It made it rain." + +Mom said, "Oh, dear. Uncle Joe has a strange sense of humor. This is not a toy, Tom. It is a water gun. It can squirt water when you press the trigger. It is not magic. It is just fun. But you have to be careful with it. You can't squirt people or animals or plants without their permission. And you can't squirt it at the sky. It can make clouds and rain." + +Tom said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I did not know that. I won't do it again. Can I keep it?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can keep it. But only if you promise to use it wisely and kindly. And only if you share it with Lily. Do you promise?" + +Tom said, "Yes, Mom. I promise. Thank you, Mom." + +Lily said, "Thank you, Mom. Can we have some candy now?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can have some candy. But only a little bit. And only after you dry yourselves and change your clothes. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We love you, Mom." + +Mom said, "I love you, too, Tom and Lily. Now go and get ready. And remember, no more magic tricks with the water gun." +Sara was a curious girl who liked to learn new things. She had a big book with pictures and words of different animals and places. She liked to look at the book and say the words out loud. + +One day, she saw a new animal in the book. It was a bird with a long tail and bright colors. The book said it was a parrot. Sara wanted to see a parrot in real life. She asked her mom if they could go to the zoo. + +"Sure, honey, we can go to the zoo tomorrow. Maybe we can find a parrot there," her mom said. + +The next day, Sara and her mom went to the zoo. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. Sara liked them all, but she was looking for the parrot. She asked her mom where the parrot was. + +"Let's follow the signs, Sara. They will show us where the parrot is," her mom said. + +They followed the signs until they reached a big cage with many birds. Sara saw the parrot. It was sitting on a branch and making noises. Sara was excited. She ran to the cage and said hello to the parrot. + +"Hello, hello," the parrot said back. + +Sara was surprised. The parrot could talk. She wanted to talk more with the parrot. She asked the parrot its name. + +"What's your name, what's your name?" the parrot said. + +Sara laughed. The parrot was copying her. She tried to say other words, like apple, ball, and flower. The parrot repeated them all. + +"You are smart, parrot. You know my language," Sara said. + +"Your language, your language," the parrot said. + +Sara and the parrot had fun talking to each other. Sara learned that the parrot could say many words, but it did not understand what they meant. It was just mimicking the sounds. Sara thought that was funny and clever. She liked the parrot very much. She asked her mom if they could take the parrot home. + +"Sorry, honey, we can't take the parrot home. It belongs to the zoo. But we can come back and visit it anytime," her mom said. + +Sara was sad, but she understood. She said goodbye to the parrot and thanked it for talking to her. + +"Goodbye, goodbye. Thank you, thank you," the parrot said. + +Sara smiled and waved. She hoped to see the parrot again soon. She had made a new friend. +Sara was a curious girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw a big drawer in her mom's room. She wondered what was inside. She opened the drawer and found many shiny things. She saw a necklace, a ring, a bracelet and a watch. She wanted to try them on. + +She put the necklace around her neck, the ring on her finger, the bracelet on her wrist and the watch on her other wrist. She felt very pretty. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She decided to show her mom. + +She ran to the kitchen where her mom was making lunch. She said, "Mom, look at me! I found these in your drawer. They are so shiny and pretty. Can I keep them?" + +Her mom turned around and saw Sara. She was surprised and a little angry. She said, "Sara, those are not yours. They are mine. You should not take things from my drawer without asking. You could lose them or break them. They are very special to me. Some of them were given to me by your dad, your grandma and your grandpa. You have to give them back to me right now." + +Sara felt sad and sorry. She did not know that the shiny things were so important to her mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was just curious. I wanted to be like you. You are so shiny and pretty. I will give them back to you. Please don't be mad at me." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm not mad at you, Sara. I love you. You are my shiny and pretty girl. You don't need these things to be like me. You are special just the way you are. But you have to remember to ask before you touch things that are not yours. And you have to be careful with them. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry. I love you too." She took off the shiny things and gave them back to her mom. Her mom put them back in the drawer and locked it. She said, "Maybe when you are older, I will let you borrow some of them. But for now, you can play with your own toys. How about we have some lunch together?" + +Sara smiled and said, "Yes, mom. That sounds good. Can I have a sandwich and some juice?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, Sara. You can have anything you want. You are my good girl." They went to the table and had lunch together. Sara was happy and forgot about the drawer. She did not mention it again. +Mia and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Mia was a lively lion and Ben was a brave bear. They roared and growled and chased each other around the couch. + +"Let's go outside and play in the yard!" Mia said. "Maybe we can find some bugs or flowers." + +"Okay!" Ben agreed. "But first we need to put on our shoes and coats." + +They ran to the door and tried to open it. But the knob was too high for them to reach. They jumped and stretched, but they could not turn it. + +"Mom!" Mia called. "Can you help us open the door?" + +Mom came from the kitchen and saw the two children. She smiled and lifted them up. + +"Are you going outside?" she asked. + +"Yes, we want to play in the yard!" Ben said. + +"Alright, but don't go too far and come back when I call you," Mom said. She opened the door and helped them put on their shoes and coats. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Mia and Ben said. They hugged her and ran outside. + +Mom watched them go and yawned. She was tired from cooking and cleaning. She decided to sit on the couch and rest for a while. She closed the door and turned the knob. She hoped the children would have fun and be safe. +Tommy was sick. He had a fever and a sore throat. He did not want to play or eat. He only wanted to lie in his bed and weep. + +His mom came to his room with a spoon and a bottle. She said, "Tommy, you need to take your medicine. It will make you feel better." + +Tommy shook his head. He did not like the medicine. It was bitter and yucky. He said, "No, mom, no medicine. It is bad." + +His mom was sad. She wanted to help Tommy. She said, "I know, Tommy, the medicine is not tasty. But it is good for you. It will help you fight the germs. Please, Tommy, be a brave boy and take your medicine." + +Tommy looked at his mom. He saw that she loved him. He did not want to make her sad. He said, "OK, mom, I will try the medicine. But only a little bit." + +His mom smiled. She was proud of Tommy. She said, "Thank you, Tommy, you are a generous boy. You are willing to do something hard for me. Here, take a sip of the medicine. Then you can have some water and a hug." + +Tommy opened his mouth and took a sip of the medicine. He made a face. It was bitter and yucky. But he swallowed it. Then he drank some water and hugged his mom. He said, "I love you, mom. You are the best." + +His mom kissed him. She said, "I love you too, Tommy. You are the best. Now, rest and sleep. You will feel better soon." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. They draw many things: flowers, cars, stars, and more. They have fun and share their crayons. + +One day, Lily sees a new crayon in the box. It is light blue, like the sky. She wants to use it, but Ben grabs it first. He says, "This is mine! I saw it first!" He does not share with Lily. Lily is sad and angry. She says, "That is not nice! You have to share!" But Ben does not listen. He runs away with the crayon. + +Lily chases him. She wants the crayon back. They run around the room, knocking over chairs and toys. They do not see the teacher coming. The teacher is mad. She says, "Stop! What are you doing? You are making a mess and a noise!" She takes the crayon from Ben. She says, "This is not how you play with crayons. You have to share and be kind. If you don't, you will lose your crayons and your friends." She puts the crayon in a jar. She says, "No one can use this crayon today. You have to learn your lesson." + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, teacher. We are sorry, Lily. We are sorry, Ben." They hug and make up. They promise to share and be kind. They clean up the mess and play with the other crayons. They draw a big heart and write their names on it. They give it to the teacher. The teacher smiles. She says, "That is very sweet. I am glad you are friends again. Maybe tomorrow you can use the light blue crayon together." Lily and Ben nod. They learned their lesson. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have a big box. They pretend the box is a bus. They move the box around the room. They go on a tour. + +"Look, Ben, we are at the zoo!" Anna says. She points to a picture of a lion on the wall. "Roar!" + +"Roar!" Ben says. He laughs. He sees a picture of a monkey. "Ooh-ooh-ah-ah!" + +They move the box to another wall. They see a picture of a castle. "Wow, we are at the palace!" Anna says. She puts on a crown. "I am the queen!" + +"I am the king!" Ben says. He puts on a hat. He waves to the people. "Hello!" + +They move the box to another wall. They see a picture of a beach. "Yay, we are at the sea!" Anna says. She takes off her shoes. "Let's go swimming!" + +"Let's go!" Ben says. He takes off his socks. He splashes in the water. "Splash!" + +They have fun on their tour. They are not lonely. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and run in the park. One day, they find a big box in the park. It has many things inside. They see hats and coats and boots and guns. They think they are toys. + +Tom and Mia put on the hats and coats and boots. They take the guns and pretend to shoot. They say "bang bang" and "pow pow". They think they are soldiers. They do not know the box is from a war. A war is when people fight and hurt each other. It is not fun. + +A man sees Tom and Mia. He is angry. He runs to them and shouts. He says "Stop! Stop! Those are not toys! Those are real guns! They are dangerous! You could hurt yourself or someone else! How did you get them? Where did you find them?" He takes the guns from Tom and Mia. He looks at the box. He is confused. He says "This is my box. I forgot it here. I was in the war. I do not want to remember the war. It was bad. It made me sad. I wanted to hide the box. But I forgot. I am sorry." + +Tom and Mia are scared. They do not understand the man. They do not understand the war. They do not understand the guns. They think they did something wrong. They say "Sorry. Sorry. We did not know. We thought they were toys. We just wanted to play. Please do not be mad." + +The man is not mad. He is sad. He says "It is not your fault. You are just kids. You do not know about the war. You should not know. You should play and be happy. The war is not for you. The war is for no one. I wish I could forget the war. But I cannot. It is always in my head. It hurts me. I need help. Can you help me?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They do not know how to help the man. But they want to try. They say "We can help you. We can be your friends. We can play with you. We can make you smile. We can give you a hug. We can listen to you. We can forget the war with you." + +The man smiles. He says "Thank you. Thank you. You are very kind. You are very brave. You are very smart. You are my friends. You make me feel better. You help me forget the war. You help me remember how to play. You help me remember how to be happy. Can I play with you?" + +Tom and Mia say "Yes. Yes. You can play with us. We have many toys. We have a ball and a bike and a doll and a car. We can share them with you. We can have fun. We can forget the war. We can remember how to be happy." + +The man says "Thank you. Thank you. You are the best. You are my heroes. You are my angels. You are my hope. You are my joy. You are my peace. You are my love. You are my family." He hugs Tom and Mia. They hug him back. They forget the war. They remember how to be happy. They play. They laugh. They love. +Ben and Mia were twins who lived in a big house near a valley. They liked to play outside and explore the valley with their dog, Spot. One day, they saw something strange in the valley. It was a big green plant with a red flower on top. They had never seen it before. + +"Look, Mia, what is that?" Ben asked, pointing at the plant. + +"I don't know, Ben. It is very pretty, but it is also very big. Do you think it will grow more?" Mia wondered. + +They decided to go closer and look at the plant. Spot followed them, wagging his tail. When they reached the plant, they saw that it had a sign next to it. The sign had some words on it, but they could not read them. They were too small and too hard. + +"What does the sign say, Ben?" Mia asked. + +"I don't know, Mia. I can't read it. Maybe it is a name for the plant. Or a warning. Or a joke. I am confused." Ben said. + +They heard a loud noise behind them. They turned around and saw a man running towards them. He was wearing a white coat and a hat. He looked angry and scared. + +"Hey, you kids, get away from that plant! It is dangerous! It is a mutant! It can grow very fast and eat you!" the man shouted. + +Ben and Mia were scared too. They did not know what a mutant was, but it sounded bad. They grabbed Spot and ran away from the plant and the man. They did not want to play in the valley anymore. They wanted to go back to their big house and be safe. +Tommy wanted to play with his big brother's toy car. He saw it on the shelf and tried to reach it. But he was too small and could not get it. He jumped and stretched his arms, but he only touched the air. He felt frustrated and angry. He wanted the toy car so much. + +He saw a chair near the shelf. He had an idea. He pushed the chair to the shelf and climbed on it. He was closer to the toy car now. He smiled and reached for it again. But the chair was wobbly and he lost his balance. He fell off the chair and hit the floor. He cried out loud. He hurt his knee and his elbow. + +His big brother heard him and came to see what happened. He saw Tommy on the floor and the chair by the shelf. He guessed what Tommy was trying to do. He felt sorry for him and picked him up. He hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tommy. Don't cry. I'll give you the toy car. You can play with it for a while. But be careful. It's not for little kids. It has small parts that you can choke on." + +He gave Tommy the toy car and Tommy stopped crying. He smiled and thanked his big brother. He held the toy car in his hands and looked at it. It was shiny and red and had four wheels. He pressed a button and it made a loud noise. He liked the noise. He pressed the button again and again. He shook the toy car and made it go vroom vroom. He felt his muscle in his arm. He was strong and happy. He forgot about his pain and his frustration. He only cared about the toy car. He played with it until his big brother said it was time to give it back. +Tim and Mia were playing in the yard. They saw a big box near the fence. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they found a lot of shiny things. They looked like toys, but they were not. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim said. He picked up a round thing with a button. "What do you think it does?" + +"I don't know," Mia said. "Maybe it makes a sound. Push the button and see." + +Tim pushed the button. Nothing happened. He pushed it again and again. Still nothing. + +"Maybe it's broken," Mia said. "Let me try." She took the round thing from Tim and pushed the button. + +Suddenly, the round thing made a loud noise. It was not a sound, it was a boom. The box exploded. Tim and Mia flew back and fell on the grass. They were scared and hurt. They cried. + +Mom and Dad heard the boom and ran to the yard. They saw the smoke and the fire. They saw Tim and Mia on the ground. They were angry and worried. + +"What did you do?" Mom yelled. "That was not a toy, that was a bomb. It was dangerous. You could have been killed." + +"We didn't know, Mom," Tim said. "We thought it was a toy. We just wanted to play." + +Mom and Dad hugged Tim and Mia. They were glad they were alive. They called the police and the firemen. They told them about the box and the bomb. They wondered who left it there and why. They hoped they would find out soon. They hoped it would not happen again. +Sara liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She would find big dresses and hats and shoes in the closet and put them on. She felt like a princess or a fairy. + +One day, she found a hanger with a very ugly sweater on it. It was brown and yellow and had holes and strings. Sara did not like it at all. She wanted to throw it away. + +But then she had an idea. She took the hanger and the sweater and went to the living room. She put the hanger on the floor and the sweater on top of it. She made a tent with the sweater and the hanger. + +She crawled inside the tent and pretended it was a cave. She was a brave explorer who found a secret place. She had fun playing with her toys and books in the cave. + +She forgot about the ugly sweater and the hanger. She was happy and cozy in her tent. She did not want to come out. +Anna liked to play in the attic. It was full of old things that her grandma gave her. She had dolls, books, puzzles, and a big chest. She liked to open the chest and see what was inside. Sometimes she found clothes, hats, or jewelry. Sometimes she found toys, games, or pictures. + +One day, she went to the attic with her brother, Ben. Ben was older than Anna and he liked to tease her. He said, "This attic is messy. You need to be more organized. Look at all this junk. You should throw it away or give it to someone else." + +Anna was angry. She said, "No, this is not junk. This is treasure. Grandma gave it to me and I love it. You don't understand. You are mean and boring. Go away and leave me alone." + +Ben laughed. He said, "Fine, I will go away. But first, I will take this." He grabbed a shiny necklace from the chest and ran downstairs. + +Anna was sad. She liked the necklace. It was pretty and sparkly. She wanted it back. She ran after Ben and shouted, "Stop! Give me back my necklace. It is mine. You are a thief and a liar." + +Ben ran into the living room and showed the necklace to their mom. He said, "Look, mom, what I found in the attic. It is so nice. Can I have it?" + +Mom looked at the necklace and smiled. She said, "This is a very special necklace. It belonged to your great-grandma. She gave it to me when I was a little girl. And I gave it to Anna when she was born. It is hers. You should not take it without asking." + +Ben felt ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't know. I thought it was just a toy. Here, you can have it back." + +Anna took the necklace and hugged mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, don't touch my things in the attic. They are not toys. They are memories." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, Anna. You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you two made up. Now, why don't you go back to the attic and play nicely. But be careful. Don't break anything. And don't make too much noise." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Okay, mom. We will." They went back to the attic and played together. They shared the dolls, the books, the puzzles, and the chest. They had fun and learned more about their family. They didn't think the attic was messy anymore. They thought it was magical. +Sara and Tom were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that their grandma kept there. They found a big cabinet with many drawers and doors. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's examine the cabinet," Sara said. "Maybe we can find something fun or shiny." + +"OK," Tom agreed. "But we have to be careful. Grandma said some of the things are fragile and can break." + +They opened the drawers and doors one by one. They saw old clothes, books, toys, and pictures. They touched and smelled them. They tried on some hats and scarves. They laughed and pretended to be different people. + +They opened the last door and saw a small box. It was locked with a key. They wondered what was in it. + +"Look, there is a key on the wall," Tom said. "Maybe it fits the box." + +He took the key and tried to open the box. It worked. He lifted the lid and saw a shiny necklace. It had many colorful stones and a gold chain. + +"Wow, it's so pretty," Sara said. "Can I try it on?" + +"Sure," Tom said. He put the necklace around Sara's neck. She looked at herself in a mirror. She smiled and felt like a princess. + +They heard footsteps on the stairs. It was their grandma. + +"Hello, my dears," she said. "What are you doing here?" + +"We were examining the cabinet," Sara said. "We found this necklace. It's so pretty. Can we keep it?" + +Grandma smiled and hugged them. She looked at the necklace and her eyes became wet. + +"That was my mother's necklace," she said. "She gave it to me when I was a little girl. It's very special to me. But I'm happy to share it with you. You can keep it, but you have to take good care of it. And you have to promise me something." + +"What is it, grandma?" Tom asked. + +"You have to promise me that you will always love each other and help each other. Just like my mother and I did. And just like I do with you." + +"We promise, grandma," Sara and Tom said. They hugged her and thanked her. They felt happy and warm. They loved their grandma and each other. And they loved the old cabinet and the shiny necklace. +One day, a boy named Tom went to the park with his mom. He saw a pond with many ducks. He wanted to feed them some bread. He asked his mom for some bread. His mom said, "OK, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. And don't throw the bread too hard. The ducks are gentle and friendly." + +Tom took some bread and walked to the pond. He saw a big duck with a green head. He liked the duck. He wanted to make friends with it. He threw a piece of bread to the duck. The duck ate the bread and quacked. Tom smiled. He threw another piece of bread. The duck ate it and quacked again. Tom was happy. + +But then, Tom threw a piece of bread too hard. It hit the duck on the head. The duck was hurt and angry. It flapped its wings and splashed water. It chased Tom and bit his leg. Tom cried. He ran away from the pond. He was scared and sad. + +His mom heard him cry and ran to him. She saw the duck and the bread. She understood what happened. She hugged Tom and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you OK? Did the duck hurt you?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, mom. I'm OK. But the duck is not OK. I hurt the duck. I'm sorry, duck. I didn't mean to hurt you. I wanted to be your friend. I regret throwing the bread too hard. I was not careful. I was not gentle. I was not friendly." + +His mom said, "I know, Tom. You made a mistake. But you can learn from it. Next time, you can be more careful, gentle and friendly. You can say sorry to the duck and give it some more bread. Maybe the duck will forgive you and be your friend. But you have to be serious. You have to respect the duck and the pond. They are not toys. They are living things. Do you understand?" + +Tom said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will be serious. I will respect the duck and the pond. I will say sorry and give more bread. I hope the duck will be OK. I hope the duck will be my friend." + +His mom said, "That's good, Tom. I'm proud of you. You are a good boy. Now, let's go and find the duck. Maybe it is still there. Maybe it is hungry. Maybe it is lonely. Maybe it needs a friend." + +Tom said, "OK, mom. Let's go. Thank you, mom. I love you, mom." + +His mom said, "I love you too, Tom. You are my friend." +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big stick on the ground. Anna says, "Look, a staff! I want to be a wizard!" She picks up the stick and waves it around. + +Ben says, "No, I want to be a wizard! Give me the staff!" He tries to grab the stick from Anna, but she holds it tight. + +They pull and tug on the stick. They do not see that the stick is fragile. It breaks in half with a loud snap. + +Anna and Ben are shocked. They look at the broken stick. They start to cry. + +A man comes over. He is angry. He says, "That was my staff! I was resting on that bench. How could you break it? It was very old and special. You are very naughty!" + +He takes the broken stick from them. He walks away, muttering. Anna and Ben feel very sorry. They have no staff and no fun. They have a bad ending. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside when the weather is good. Today, the sun is bright and the sky is blue. Sara and Ben have bikes. They want to ride their bikes to the park. + +"Let's go, Sara!" Ben says. He puts on his helmet and gloves. His bike is red and fast. + +"Wait for me, Ben!" Sara says. She puts on her helmet and scarf. Her bike is pink and smooth. She likes to feel the wind on her face. + +They ride their bikes on the road. They see cars and buses and people. They say hello to them. They are happy and excited. + +They get to the park. The park is big and green. There are trees and flowers and birds. There are swings and slides and a sandbox. Sara and Ben have fun. They play on the swings and slides. They make sandcastles and dig holes. They laugh and sing. + +They see other kids in the park. They make new friends. They share their toys and snacks. They play games and tell stories. They are kind and polite. + +Sara and Ben have a great day. They enjoy the weather and the park. They love their bikes and their friends. They are grateful and content. +Anna loved to help her mom bake cookies. She liked to mix the flour, the sugar, and the eggs in a big bowl. She liked to roll the dough into balls and put them on a tray. But her favorite part was to decorate the cookies with sprinkles. She had a jar of sprinkles that was almost full. She thought it was the perfect jar. + +One day, her mom said they were going to bake cookies for her dad's birthday. Anna was very excited. She wanted to make the cookies extra special for her dad. She asked her mom if she could use the jar of sprinkles. Her mom said yes, but only a little bit. She said they had to save some sprinkles for later. + +Anna nodded, but she did not listen. She thought her dad would like more sprinkles, not less. She thought more sprinkles would make the cookies more perfect. So, when her mom was not looking, she took the jar of sprinkles and poured a lot of them on the cookies. She poured and poured until the jar was empty. She smiled and thought her dad would be very happy. + +But when her mom saw the cookies, she was not happy. She was angry. She said Anna had wasted all the sprinkles. She said they had no more sprinkles for later. She said Anna had to go to her room and think about what she had done. Anna felt sad and sorry. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She did not mean to use all the sprinkles. She just wanted to make the cookies perfect for her dad. + +She went to her room and cried. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had used only a little bit of sprinkles. She wished she still had some sprinkles left in the jar. She wondered if her dad would still like the cookies. She wondered if her mom would still love her. She hoped they would forgive her. She hoped they would still have a happy birthday. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore new things. She enjoyed looking at books, playing with toys, and finding bugs in the garden. One day, she saw a big box with a bow on it in the living room. She wondered what was inside. She thought it might be a gift for her. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what is that?" Mom smiled and said, "That is a surprise for you, Lily. You can open it later, after dinner." Lily was very excited. She wanted to open it right away, but she knew she had to wait. She went to play with her doll, but she kept looking at the box. + +After dinner, Mom said, "Now you can open your gift, Lily. It is from your grandma, who loves you very much." Lily ran to the box and tore off the paper. She opened the lid and gasped. Inside was a beautiful dress with flowers and ribbons. It was her favorite color, pink. She also found a matching hat and shoes. She was so happy. She hugged Mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Grandma. I love it!" + +Mom helped her put on the dress, the hat, and the shoes. Lily looked at herself in the mirror and twirled around. She felt like a princess. She said, "I want to show Grandma my dress. Can we call her?" Mom nodded and picked up the phone. She dialed Grandma's number and handed it to Lily. Lily said, "Hi, Grandma. I got your gift. It is a beautiful dress. I love it. Thank you, Grandma. You are the best!" Grandma was very happy to hear Lily's voice and to see her smile. She said, "You are very welcome, Lily. You look lovely in your dress. I am glad you like it. I love you, Lily." Lily said, "I love you, too, Grandma. Bye-bye." She gave the phone back to Mom and hugged her again. + +Lily enjoyed her gift very much. She wore her dress all evening and played with her doll. She felt very special and loved. She was a curious girl who liked to explore new things, but she also liked to receive gifts from her family. She was a happy girl. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a new thing in the park. It was big and red and had wheels. They wanted to try it. + +"What is that?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a bike?" Anna said. + +They ran to the new thing. It was not a bike. It had a seat and a handle and a bell. It looked like fun. + +"Can we ride it?" Tom asked. + +They looked around. They saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a hat and a book. He was the new thing's owner. + +"Excuse me, sir," Anna said. "Can we please ride your new thing?" + +The man looked up. He smiled. He saw Tom and Anna's curious faces. + +"Sure, you can," he said. "This is not a bike. This is a tricycle. It has three wheels. You can take turns to ride it. But be careful and don't go too fast." + +"Thank you, sir," Tom and Anna said. + +They were very happy. They requested to ride the new thing. The man agreed. They learned a new word. They had fun on the tricycle. They rang the bell and laughed. They made a new friend. +Ben and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to look at the books on the bookcase. They could not read the words, but they liked the pictures and the colors. + +"Look, Ben, this book has a big lion on it!" Lily said, holding up a book. + +"Let me see, let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the book. + +"No, it's mine, I found it first!" Lily said, pulling the book away. + +Ben was angry. He wanted to see the lion too. He grabbed another book and threw it at Lily. Lily dodged the book, but it hit the bookcase. The bookcase shook and wobbled. Then it fell over with a loud crash. Books and toys flew everywhere. Ben and Lily were scared. They ran out of the room. + +"Mama, mama, help!" they cried. + +Mama came running. She saw the mess in the room. She saw the bookcase on the floor. She was shocked and angry. + +"What did you do?" she asked Ben and Lily. + +"We were playing with the books, and Ben threw one at me, and the bookcase dropped and now it's dead!" Lily said, sobbing. + +"I'm sorry, mama, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Ben said, crying too. + +Mama sighed. She was glad that Ben and Lily were not hurt, but she was not happy with their behavior. She made them clean up the room and put the books back on the bookcase. She told them to be careful and gentle with the books and the bookcase. She told them to share and not fight. She hugged them and kissed them and said she loved them. But she also said they had to go to bed early as a punishment. Ben and Lily learned their lesson. They said sorry to each other and to mama. They promised to be good and not drop the bookcase again. +Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She drew many things: flowers, animals, houses, people. She wanted to show her drawings to her mom and dad. She thought they would be proud of her. + +One day, she found a photo of her mom and dad on the table. They were smiling and hugging. Lily thought they looked very happy. She wanted to make them happier. She had an idea. She took her crayons and started to draw on the photo. She drew a big sun, a rainbow, some hearts, and some stars. She thought the photo looked better now. + +She ran to her mom and dad with the photo. She said, "Look, look, I improved your photo! Do you like it?" She hoped they would like it. + +But her mom and dad did not look happy. They looked surprised and sad. They said, "Oh, Lily, what did you do? This was a special photo of us. You ruined it with your crayons. You should not draw on photos. You should only draw on paper." + +Lily felt very embarrassed. She did not mean to ruin the photo. She wanted to make them happy. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know. I thought you would like it. I love you." + +Her mom and dad hugged her and said, "We love you too, Lily. We know you were trying to be nice. But you have to be careful with photos. They are not for drawing. They are for remembering. Next time, ask us before you draw on something." + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, I will. I'm sorry again." She gave them the photo and said, "Can you fix it?" + +Her mom and dad said, "We can try, but it might not be the same. Maybe we can take a new photo of us. And you can draw something for us on a paper. We would love that." + +Lily smiled and said, "OK, let's do that. I will draw something nice for you on a paper. And we can take a new photo of us. And we can be happy." +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their hoops. They would roll them, jump through them, and make shapes with them. They had so much fun with their hoops. + +One day, a big boy came to the park. He saw Lily and Ben's hoops and wanted to take them. He ran to them and grabbed one of Lily's hoops. He said, "This is mine now. You can't have it back." + +Lily was very sad and angry. She said, "No, that's my hoop. Give it back to me. You are not nice." She tried to pull the hoop from the big boy, but he was too strong. He pushed her away and laughed. + +Ben saw what happened and ran to help Lily. He said, "Hey, leave her alone. That's her hoop. You can't take it. It's not fair." He also tried to get the hoop from the big boy, but he was too small. The big boy pushed him away and laughed harder. + +Lily and Ben felt helpless. They didn't know what to do. They looked at each other and hugged. They said, "We are best friends. We will always share our hoops. We promise." They hoped that someone would come and help them. +Anna and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked around the house for something fun to do, but they could not find anything. They only had old toys and books that they had seen many times before. + +"Let's go to the attic," Ben said. "Maybe we can find something new there." + +"Okay," Anna agreed. "But we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad are working downstairs." + +They tiptoed up the stairs and opened the door to the attic. It was dark and dusty, and full of boxes and bags. They saw a small window that let in some light. They walked towards it, curious. + +As they got closer, they heard a soft noise. It sounded like a squeak. They looked around and saw a cage on a table. Inside the cage, there was a rabbit. It was white and fluffy, with pink ears and nose. It looked scared and lonely. + +"Wow, a rabbit!" Anna exclaimed. "Who does it belong to?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it was Grandma's. She used to live here before she went to the sky." + +They stared at the rabbit, and the rabbit stared back at them. They felt sorry for it. It must have been in the cage for a long time, with no one to play with or feed it. + +"Can we take it out?" Anna asked. "It needs some love and care." + +"Sure," Ben said. "But we have to be gentle. It might be afraid of us." + +They opened the cage and reached for the rabbit. The rabbit shivered and tried to hide in a corner. Anna and Ben spoke softly and stroked its fur. They coaxed it out of the cage and held it in their arms. The rabbit felt warm and soft. It relaxed and snuggled with them. + +They smiled and hugged the rabbit. They decided to name it Snowy. They felt happy and forgot about their boredom. They did not notice that the sky was clearing and the sun was shining. They only saw the rabbit and each other. They had found a new friend in the attic. +Lily likes to go for a walk with her dad. They walk to the park and see the birds and the flowers. Lily wants to play on the swings and the slide. She runs to the swings and asks her dad to push her. + +"Higher, higher!" Lily says. She likes to feel the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs and smiles. Her dad pushes her high and high. She feels like she can touch the sky. + +Then Lily sees the slide. It is big and shiny. She wants to try it. She jumps off the swing and runs to the slide. She looks up and sees how high it is. She feels a little scared. She wonders if she can manage to climb up and slide down. + +She holds on to the ladder and starts to climb. She counts the steps. One, two, three, four, five. She reaches the top and looks down. She sees her dad waiting for her. He smiles and says, "You can do it, Lily. I'm here for you." + +Lily takes a deep breath and sits on the slide. She lets go and slides down. She feels a rush of excitement and joy. She lands on the ground and runs to her dad. He hugs her and says, "You did it, Lily. You managed to slide down the high slide. I'm so proud of you." + +Lily feels happy and proud. She says, "I did it, dad. I managed to slide down the high slide. Can we do it again?" Her dad nods and says, "Of course, Lily. Let's do it again." They walk back to the slide and have more fun. Lily loves to go for a walk with her dad. +Tom is a pilot. He likes to fly in the sky. He has a big plane. It is red and white. He can see many things from his plane. He can see clouds, birds, and houses. + +One night, Tom has to fly very late. It is dark outside. He cannot see very well. He is not scared. He has a light in his plane. It can glow. It makes his plane bright. He can see the stars and the moon. + +He sees another plane. It is blue and yellow. It also has a light. It can glow too. It is flying next to him. Tom is happy.

You have a cool plane too." + +Tom and Amy talk for a while. They tell each other where they are going and what they like. They become friends. They fly together until they reach their destinations. They say goodbye and wish each other a good night. + +Tom and Amy are glad they met. They hope to see each other again. They like to glow in the sky. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with a hole. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Maybe there are birds or squirrels," Tom said. + +"Or maybe there are bees and honey," Lily said. + +They went closer to the hole. They heard a buzzing sound. They saw some yellow and black things flying out. + +"Bees!" Tom shouted. "Run!" + +They ran away from the tree. But one bee followed them. It stung Tom on his arm. Tom cried. It hurt a lot. + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She wanted to help him. She saw a bench nearby. She took Tom to the bench. She looked at his arm. It was red and swollen. + +"I have an idea," Lily said. "My mom told me honey is good for stings. Maybe we can get some honey from the tree." + +Tom shook his head. He was scared of the bees. He did not want to go back to the tree. + +"Please, Tom," Lily said. "It will make you feel better. I will go with you. We will be careful." + +Tom was not sure. He did not like the pain. He wanted to feel better. He nodded. He trusted Lily. + +They went back to the tree. They waited until the bees were gone. They looked at the hole. They saw some honey dripping from it. + +Lily reached for the honey. She put some on her finger. She rubbed it on Tom's arm. + +"Does it feel better?" she asked. + +Tom nodded. It felt a little better. The honey was sweet and sticky. + +"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are a good friend." + +Lily smiled. She was happy to help Tom. She licked her finger. The honey was yummy. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was the park keeper. + +"Hey, you two," he said. "What are you doing? That's not your honey. That's the bees' honey. You should not take it. You should be ashamed." + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They did not know they did something wrong. They said sorry to the park keeper. They said sorry to the bees. They left the tree. They went home. + +They learned a lesson. They learned to respect the bees and their honey. They learned to ask before they take something. They learned to be more careful. They were still friends. They still liked to play in the park. But they never went near the tree again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes in the dirt and pretend they were pirates. They had a big wooden box that they used as a treasure chest. They filled it with shiny stones, shells and leaves. + +One day, they found a very big hole under a bush. They wondered what was inside. They decided to explore it together. They took their treasure chest and a flashlight and crawled into the hole. + +"Wow, this hole is very dark and deep," Lily said. "Maybe we will find some real treasure here." + +"Or maybe we will find some scary monsters," Ben said. He was a little afraid, but he did not want to show it. + +They went deeper and deeper into the hole. They saw some roots, some worms and some spiders. They did not like them very much. They kept looking for something more exciting. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They saw a big shadow in front of them. It had sharp teeth, long claws and glowing eyes. It was a bear! + +The bear was very angry. It did not like strangers in its hole. It wanted to chase them away. It growled and snarled at them. + +Lily and Ben were very scared. They dropped their treasure chest and their flashlight. They turned around and ran as fast as they could. They hoped the bear would not follow them. + +They reached the end of the hole and crawled out. They were safe, but they were also very sad. They had lost their treasure and their flashlight. They had also made the bear very mad. + +They looked at each other and felt very sorry. They knew they had done something wrong. They had entered the bear's home without asking. They had taken something that was not theirs. + +They decided to pay the bear back. They went to their house and got some honey, some nuts and some berries. They put them in a basket and brought them to the hole. They left them at the entrance and said: + +"Mr. Bear, we are very sorry. We did not mean to make you angry. We did not know this was your hole. We brought you some food to say sorry. Please forgive us." + +They hoped the bear would hear them and accept their gift. They hoped the bear would not be troubled anymore. They learned their lesson. They never went into the hole again. They played somewhere else. They were more careful and respectful. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to be a princess and a prince. They found a big box and made it into a palace. They put a blanket on it and drew windows and doors. + +"Look at our palace!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and big!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "But we need a horse to ride. A princess and a prince need a horse." + +They looked around and saw Lily's dog, Max. Max was hairy and friendly. He liked to play with Lily and Ben. + +"Let's use Max as our horse!" Ben said. "He is hairy and big enough." + +"Okay!" Lily said. "But we have to be gentle with him. He is not a real horse." + +They put a rope around Max's neck and climbed on his back. They pretended to ride around the palace. They made horse noises and waved to their subjects. + +"Hello, people!" Lily said. "We are your princess and prince. We are riding our horse, Max." + +"Hello, hello!" Ben said. "We are very happy and kind. We love our horse, Max." + +Max wagged his tail and licked their faces. He liked to be their horse. He was having fun. + +But then, Lily's mom came out. She saw Lily and Ben on Max. She was not happy. + +"Hey, hey, hey!" she said. "What are you doing? You can't ride Max like that. He is not a horse. He is a dog. You are hurting him and pulling his hair." + +She took the rope off Max and lifted Lily and Ben off his back. She put them down and scolded them. + +"That is not nice. That is not how you treat a dog. You have to be gentle and respectful. Max is your friend, not your toy. Say sorry to him right now." + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They did not mean to hurt Max. They loved him. They hugged him and said sorry. + +"Sorry, Max. We are sorry. We did not know. We love you. You are a good dog." + +Max licked their faces and wagged his tail. He forgave them. He loved them too. + +Lily's mom smiled and hugged them too. + +"It's okay. I know you were playing. But you have to be careful. Max is a living thing. He has feelings and needs. You have to treat him well. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. + +"Yes, mom. We understand. We will be nice to Max. We will not ride him again." + +"Good. Now, why don't you play with him in a different way? You can throw a ball for him, or brush his hair, or give him a treat. He will like that." + +"Okay, mom. We will do that. Thank you, mom." + +They ran to get a ball and a brush and a treat. They played with Max in the yard. They had fun. They were happy. Max was happy too. He was their best friend. He was their hairy friend. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, Tim sees a big box on his porch. It has his name on it. He is happy. + +"Look, Sam, I have post!" Tim says. "I wonder what is inside." + +"Maybe it is a toy or a book," Sam says. "Can we open it?" + +"Yes, let's open it!" Tim says. He runs to the box and pulls the tape. Sam helps him. They open the box and see a lot of paper. They move the paper and find a hat. + +"A hat?" Tim says. "Who sent me a hat?" + +He looks at the card. It says: "Happy birthday, Tim! Love, Grandpa." + +"Grandpa sent me a hat," Tim says. "But why?" + +Sam laughs. He knows why. He points to Tim's head. + +"Maybe because you are bald like him," Sam says. + +Tim is bald. He has no hair. He was born that way. He does not mind. He likes his head. He thinks it is smooth and shiny. + +He puts on the hat. It is blue and soft. He smiles. + +"Thank you, Grandpa," Tim says. "I like the hat. It is warm and cozy." + +He hugs the box. He is happy. He has post and a hat and a friend. He is not bald anymore. He is Tim. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys.

"We are so lucky!" + +"Yes, we are!" Ben said. "Let's take them home and play with them!" + +They started to fill their bags with toys, but then they saw a note on the box. It said: "These toys are for the children who have no toys. Please do not take them. They need them more than you. Be kind and share. Thank you." + +Lily and Ben stopped and looked at each other. They felt bad for taking the toys. They remembered that they already had many toys at home, and that some children had none. + +"Maybe we should put the toys back," Lily said. "It is not nice to take what is not ours." + +"You are right," Ben said. "We should be kind and share. Maybe we can play with the toys here for a while, and then leave them for the other children." + +They agreed and put the toys back in the box. They played with them for a while, and then said goodbye to the toys. They left the box in the park, hoping that the other children would find it and be happy. + +Lily and Ben learned that being kind and sharing is more important than being rich and having many things. They also learned that they could have fun with any toys, as long as they had each other. They felt good in their hearts, and they gained a new friend: True, the dog who was watching them from a distance. True wagged his tail and followed them home. He became their best friend. +Tim and Mia like to play with cardboard. They cut it and color it and make many things. One day, they make a big sack with cardboard. They paint it brown and draw lines on it. + +"Look, we have a sack!" Tim says. "We can put things in it and pretend we are pirates!" + +"Or we can hide in it and scare mom and dad!" Mia says. "Let's go to the living room and wait for them!" + +They carry the sack to the living room and get inside. They close the top and sit quietly. They hear mom and dad coming. + +"Hello, kids, where are you?" mom says. + +"We are here, in the sack!" Tim and Mia shout. They open the sack and jump out. + +"Boo!" they say. + +Mom and dad laugh.

They are proud of Tim and Mia. + +"You are very creative, kids!" mom says. "But remember, cardboard is not real. It is fake. You cannot use it for everything." + +"We know, mom!" Tim and Mia say. "We just like to pretend. Can we keep the sack?" + +"Of course, you can!" mom and dad say. "But only for playing. Not for sleeping or eating or anything else." + +"OK, mom and dad!" Tim and Mia say. "We love you!" + +They hug mom and dad again. Then they go back to the sack and play some more. They have a lot of fun with their cardboard sack. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big pile of dishes in the sink. Lily wanted to help Mom and Dad. She took a dish and a cloth and started to wipe it. Tom did not want to help. He wanted to play with his toy car. + +"Come on, Tom, help me wipe the dishes. It is fun and nice," Lily said. + +"No, I don't want to. Wiping dishes is boring and hard. I want to play with my car.

You are a lazy and naughty boy," Dad said. + +Lily smiled and hugged Mom and Dad. She felt happy and loved. Tom frowned and cried.

One day, they find a shiny thing on the ground. It is round and light and has a face on it. + +"What is this?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know," Sue says. "Maybe it is a copper." + +"A copper? What is a copper?" Tom says. + +Sue shrugs. "I don't know. Maybe it is a thing you can buy things with." + +"Like candy?" Tom says. + +"Maybe," Sue says. "Do you want to try?" + +Tom nods. He picks up the shiny thing and runs to the candy store. He shows it to the man behind the counter. + +"Can I have some candy for this copper?" he asks. + +The man looks at the shiny thing and smiles. He takes it and gives Tom a big bag of candy. + +"Here you go, kid. You have a lucky copper. It is worth more than candy. It is a very old coin," he says. + +Tom is happy. He runs back to Sue and shares the candy with her. + +"Wow, this is a lot of candy!" Sue says. + +"Yes, it is. The man said our copper is a lucky copper. It is a very old coin," Tom says. + +"Really?

Mom says, "You can play, but not with toy soldiers. And not so loud. And clean up the floor." She gives them a broom and a dustpan. + +Tim and Sam do not want to clean. They do not want to play with anything else. They do not have fun. They lose their toy soldiers. They have a bad day. +Tom and Sue were farmers. They had a big field of wheat. Wheat was good for making bread and cake. They worked hard to grow the wheat. They hoped to sell the wheat and buy some toys for their children. + +But one day, the sky became dark and angry.

She agreed, and permitted him to go outside and greet the birds. + +He got out of bed, opened his bedroom window, and said a loud hello to the birds. They were all so happy to receive his friendly greeting, and chirped back in response. + +The little boy was so excited that he wanted to sing along with them, but his mother reminded him that his singing was perhaps a bit too loud for the planet.

Lily said. + +Lily's mom smiled and said, "Yes, he does look happy, but he is a wild animal and he needs some space." + +So Lily and her mom walked back to the shore.

His mom stood at the top of the stairs. She was holding something in her hand, something shiny and light. + +"What is that, Mommy?" asked Max. + +His mom smiled and said, "It's a surprise. If you can make it down the stairs without stumbling, I'll give it to you." + +Max grinned, and he tried his best to steady himself on the way down. Finally, he was at the bottom, and his mom handed him the shiny thing. + +"It's a tip," she said. + +Max was so excited. He'd never had a tip before. His mom said it was special, and it would help him when he was in the dark. + +Max said thank you, and then skipped out of the house to try out his tip in the night sky. Sure enough, when he went outside after the sun had gone down, his new pot glowed so light that it lit up all the dark corners of the night. + +Max was delighted and thanked his mom again for the wonderful surprise. +One night, a little girl called Jane went to bed.

Three days later, it started to rain. The strange thing was that it wasn't just rain - it was hail! Jane felt a shock of fear as she realized that it was the same kind of thunder that her dad heard the night before. + +The storm raged all day, and the hail kept coming down harder and harder. Jane felt scared but too tired to do anything. Her parents were doing their best to protect her, but they were exhausted. + +Finally, the storm stopped and the hail went away.

The rabbit was very scared and shivering. + +Jack thought for a moment and then he put out his hand and talked softly. He said, 'It's okay. I won't hurt you.' + +The rabbit slowly stopped shaking and hopped closer. Jack smiled and the rabbit hopped onto his little hand. Jack was so happy. He knew that using his mind and his wisdom had helped him to make a new friend. +The little girl was at the park with her mummy. She saw an interesting man carrying a bag of books.

Ella was eager to solve the puzzle. + +She tried her hardest to figure out the solution, but she couldn't. She was getting frustrated, so she asked her mother for help. Her mother sighed and said, "You can't solve this one, Ella. It's too hard for you." + +Ella was so disappointed.

She went back home, sad and discouraged. +Once upon a time there was a girl who wanted to make a new friend. She went to the park and looked around to see who she could choose. She saw a colorful lizard, and she thought he looked friendly. She decided to talk to him. + +So she went up to him and said hello. The lizard looked up, surprised. But then he smiled, and the girl smiled back. They talked and laughed for a while, and soon the lizard decided that he liked the girl. He asked if they could be friends, and she said yes. + +They played games together that day, and they've been best friends ever since.

They loved to talk together and discuss things. One day, they wanted to talk about something different. So, they decided to discuss automobiles. They talked about ordinary cars they had seen. They discussed what colour they thought they should be and which ones they liked best. + +Jack thought an orange car would be fun, but Jill thought it should be blue. They discussed all the different types of cars. They talked about sports cars and all the other cool types of cars. But, in the end, they decided that an ordinary car was really the best for them. + +They liked the idea of an ordinary car. They both thought it would be cool to have an ordinary car with all the big windows.

What do you think about that?". + +Lucy was excited and answered: "Yes Mommy, let's go!". + +So the two of them went out to introduce the patient to a dull day. First, Sylvia took the patient to the park. The grass was green and the sun was shining, so the patient felt happy. + +Then they both went to the beach.

He stuck it in his pocket and started to walk away. + +John heard a voice behind him. He turned around and saw his mum. She had a very stern look on her face. She was not happy. She asked John why he had taken a cookie when he knew he wasn't allowed. + +John looked down at the ground and could feel his cheeks going red. He felt so guilty for taking the cookie. He admitted that he had taken it and apologised to his mum. She shook her head, but she still smiled at him. + +John watched as his mum walked off, he was glad that she wasn't mad at him. He was relieved, and he learnt his lesson. From then on, he remembered not to take things without asking. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Sarah. She was three years old.

She saw that the sea was so blue and the sand felt so soft between her toes. + +They walked together down to the shoreline until they stopped and Sarah asked, "Mommy, what is that?" pointing to a reef in the distance. Her mom answered, "That, my sweet Sarah, is a reef," She told Sarah about how the reef was a big, big rock filled with sea creatures and shells. + +They stayed there for a while, looking at all the sea creatures and fish before walking further down the beach. Suddenly Sarah spotted something shining in the sand. She looked closer and saw it was a beautiful shell. + +Sarah smiled and picked it up, exclaiming "It's so sweet!" Her mom smiled back at her and said, "Yes, it is sweet, isn't it?" + +Sarah loved their day at the beach and asked, "Can we come again tomorrow?" +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, of course we can!" +Once there was a little girl. She was very worried about something. She didn't understand what was going on. So, she went to ask her mom. + +Her mom said, "It's okay sweetie. Everything will be alright." But the little girl didn't understand what that meant. + +So the little girl's mom explained it to her. She said, "Sometimes things can be hard and you feel like you can't do it. But I'm here to help you, and it will all work out okay in the end." + +The little girl was very happy to hear this. She hugged her mom and smiled. Now she understood what her mom meant and she felt much better. +Sam was a happy three-year-old who liked to swim. He was very organized and always kept his toys tidy. + +One day, he decided to take a swim at the beach. He smiled brightly as he dug in the sand and made castles. But then he heard his mom frown and she asked him to get out of the water quickly. + +Sam was a bit sad and he frowned too. He followed his mom back to the car. On the way, his mom told him that swimming in the ocean was dangerous and he had to be careful. + +Sam listened carefully, nodded and gave his mom a big hug. He knew from now on, he needed to stay organized and always listen to his mom. +Once upon a time there was a plant that was very gentle. It loved the park, but the cold winter made it sad. One day, a compassionate boy noticed the plant. He wanted to help it, so he moved it close to his warm house. The boy was very warm and friendly and he brought lots of smiles to the plant. + +The boy had a plan to make the plant happy. He found a big pot of sunshine and hugged it close to him. Then he moved the sunshine to the plant so that it could feel warmth and love. The sunshine melted away the cold around the plant and it started to smile again. + +The boy was very happy.

I won the trophy," he said. + +His friends were very excited too. "Let's make it an organized game," said one of the friends. + +John was very excited to hear that. He replied, "Yes!

I love tasting new things". + +The friends travelled to the east and started to explore. Before long, they found a street filled with different types of fruit.

They didn't know what the food was, but they loved it! + +Max was so excited, he said, "This food is really creative!" + +Lucy laughed and said, "You're so right Max.

Little John peered around her legs and saw a huge shark swimming in the sea. Mama was scared, but John was not. He squealed with delight and nodded his head while pointing at the huge fish. + +Mama frowned and told John to stay back. He stepped closer to the shore, but Mama was getting impatient. She yelled, "John, come back!" + +But John was too excited to listen. He ran closer to the shore, and the shark moved too. Suddenly, the shark rose from the water, opened its jaw and bit John's leg. John screamed in pain and Mama rushed over, scooped him up and ran back to shore. + +As the ambulance arrived to take John to the hospital, Mama whispered softly, "Never ignore me again, John". +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Emily. She was very happy and loved to sew. One day she was walking home from the store when she found a special stitch in the road. She immediately knew it was magical, so she went over to pick it up. + +Suddenly, the stitch began to move! Before Emily could do anything, it twisted and turned and disappeared. Emily started to cry because she wanted the magical stitch so badly. + +"Where'd it go?!" she cried. + +Just then, a big voice boomed from the sky. "The distant wizard took the stitch," it said. + +Emily was very sad and scared. She didn't know what to do. + +"Can you get it back?" Emily asked the voice. + +"You must find the distant wizard to get the stitch back," the voice said. + +And so Emily began her journey to find the wizard. She tried her best to stay brave, even though the wizard seemed very far away. + +Emily never gave up and eventually made it to the wizard's castle. After a long and hard battle, Emily got the magical stitch back! + +From then on, she never lost sight of the stitch. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Mary.

Of course, Mary happily said yes and so Bunny and Mary spent the day together in the garden, turning the soil and planting the sunflower. It was a charming day filled with adventure. +Once upon a time there were two friends - a dog and a cat. The two were like best friends and very dependable to each other. + +One day, they decided to go and explore the woods. They jumped and ran around, having lots of fun. But soon, they couldn't find their way home. + +The night was getting darker and darker and they were scared. Then in the distance they saw a light. They rushed towards it and found a hospital. + +The nurse in the hospital was very kind to them. She helped them and gave them food. They asked her to help them find their way home. But she didn't understand what they were saying. + +Fortunately, the friends found a way to explain where they lived. They drew a picture of the house and showed it to the nurse. At last, the nurse understood where they lived. She gave them a ride back home in her car and the friends were very grateful. + +The two were happy to be home and even happier to have a dependable nurse who could help them. +Once there was a baby. She was very grumpy and nothing could seem to make her happy. +One day her mom took her to the park. She was sure the fresh air and fun outside would help prevent her grumpiness. +On the way, the baby saw a big orange bird in a tree. +"Mommy look!" the baby said excitedly. +"Yes, that's a big bird isn't it," mom said with a smile. + +But when they got to the park, the baby was still grumpy. She refused to play with the other children. +Suddenly, she spotted a dog and ran off to pet it. +Her mom hurried after her, afraid that the animal might prevent her from being safe. +But when she arrived, the baby was happily petting the dog. +"See mommy, I'm not grumpy anymore," the baby said with a smile. + +Mom smiled back and said, "Yes, the fresh air and animals at the park seem to have done the trick!" +The dog was hungry. He looked around and saw a rabbit. He wanted to bite it. The rabbit saw the dog and tried to run away. But the dog was too fast. He bit the rabbit and the rabbit yelped. The rabbit was weak and could not stand up. + +The rabbit was in pain. He felt scared and sad. The dog wanted to bite him again, but the rabbit didn't want to get hurt. So, he hopped away as fast as he could. But the dog was very fast and he quickly caught up with the rabbit. He bit the rabbit again and the rabbit yelped. The rabbit was too weak to stand up. + +The dog bit the rabbit one last time. The rabbit felt so much pain that he could cry, but he had no more strength.

One day, he decided to fly to a land far away. + +He began his journey, visiting many countries and meeting lots of people. Many people mentioned that the land he was heading for was very dangerous. But, the man didn't want to listen. He wanted to be creative and explore. + +He finally arrived at the far away land. At first, everything seemed peaceful. But then he noticed something.

Together, they started the plan and what do you know - it worked! The ash was cleared away and the wealthy man was very happy. The end. +Johnny and Jill were two very loyal friends. Every day, they would plan out something fun they could do together. One day they decided to go play in the grass. + +They ran and ran until they found a perfect place to play. The grass was so soft and bouncy! They rolled around, laughing and giggling. After that, they made a plan for a game. + +They pretended to be animals. Johnny was an elephant and Jill was a rabbit. They played together for what seemed like hours. Sometimes Johnny would pretend to play music with a blade of grass. He would blow into it, and it would make a beautiful sound. + +The two friends had such a good time together. Before they left, they made another plan for the next day. Johnny and Jill were very loyal friends who had lots of fun making plans together. +Once upon a time, there was a loyal dog named Sammy.

His doggy ears perked up in surprise to see steam coming from his mouth. + +Just then, Sammy heard his owners calling from the house. He raced over to them and they accepted him with big hugs. Then Sammy's owners explained that whenever someone is excited or happy, steam comes out. Sammy was excited and he accepted the funny steam. + +From then on, Sammy was the loyallest dog ever. He stayed happy with his family and every time he barked, steam would come out of his mouth. That was just the way it was! +Once there was an old man who wanted to get married.

They both worked so hard to make the most creative castles they could and when they were finished they looked back and they could see the difference that teamwork had made. + +The moral of this story is that sometimes it's better to work together in a team and to work hard than to compete one against another. Working together can help you to achieve so much more than competing against each other! +Once upon a time, there was a boy. He liked to count. Every day, he would go out to the lawn and count the blades of grass. Every time he counted, he was amazed at how many there were.

She took her child to the doctor to get checked. + +The doctor said, "Hmm, you seem a bit under the weather. We'll mail you a special medicine before the end of the year. It'll make you feel better." + +The child smiled and thanked the doctor. Mommy and the child went home and waited for the medicine to arrive. + +The medicine came in the mail two weeks later.
