"You should always be careful with things you find and ask permission before taking them. If you had just taken this tie without asking, it wouldn't be right." + +Tom felt a bit dizzy from all the advice, but he nodded and said, "Ok, Dad. I won't do it again." + +Tom's father smiled and said, "That's my boy." + +Tom learned an important lesson that day: always take permission before taking something, it's the right thing to do. +Dave was a little boy.

She hugged her mom and dad and felt happy. + +The End! +Once there was a little girl called Emily. Emily was only three years old and she loved to explore. One day she was playing in her room and she noticed a shiny knob on the wall. Eagerly, she reached out and twisted the knob. Suddenly, something strange happened. The drawer below the knob started to rattle and suddenly popped open! + +Inside the drawer Emily found lots of empty boxes. She felt disappointed, but then she heard a strange noise coming from inside one of the boxes. She reached in and pulled out a tiny robot. It was a bit dusty and had lots of buttons on it. + +Emily was very excited and she wanted to know what the robot could do. She pressed the biggest red button and was surprised when the robot spoke to her. "Greetings, I am Robot 3000. Do not disturb me!" + +Emily was so surprised that she dropped the robot in fright. She quickly grabbed him and noticed that he wasn’t angry. He said, “Don’t worry, I just needed some rest!†+ +Emily felt relieved and laughed with joy. She tucked the tiny robot back in the empty drawer and smiled as she shut it. She had finally found a new friend! +Once upon a time, there lived a clever rabbit. He loved to play in the forest and was very intelligent. His clever mind was always finding new ways to have fun. + +One day, the rabbit found a trap in the forest. It had been cleverly made by a hunter. The rabbit knew that if he stepped inside it he would get stuck. The rabbit felt scared and sad because he didn't want to get caught. + +But then the rabbit had an idea. He used his intelligence to build a box out of leaves and sticks. He got inside and waited for the hunter. When the hunter arrived he saw the box and thought that the rabbit was trapped inside. The hunter was so surprised that he couldn't believe it. + +The rabbit was so happy and loved being free. He had used his intelligence to escape the trap. He hopped away and stayed away from hunters. From then on, the rabbit lived safely and happily in the forest. +Ted was walking in the meadow. He was so excited to explore the new things that he found. He saw something interesting. He said, "What thing is this?" He was so excited and welcomed the new thing. +He went closer to see what it was. Suddenly, he saw a lion! Ted was so scared, he started to run. The lion chased him and shouted, "Welcome to my meadow!" Ted ran faster but the lion was getting closer. He screamed for help but no one was nearby. Ted was too scared and fell to the ground. The lion was ready to attack him. + +Suddenly, a noise stopped the lion. Ted heard some people shouting. They were able to chase the lion away. Ted was very relieved. The people told him that he should not have gone to the meadow alone. They said, "You are lucky we came in time to save you!" Ted was still upset and scared but he thanked them for saving him. + +Ted never wanted to visit the meadow again. That experience was too scary and it was not an interesting thing to welcome. +Once upon a time, there was a slow mineral rock. The rock had been sitting in the same spot for many, many years. One day, something wonderful happened. + +A small bee flew up to the mineral and began to jump around, shouting "Welcome! Welcome!" The bee was so excited and happy to have found the rock. + +The mineral didn't know what to do. He'd never seen a bee before. But the bee kept saying welcome, so the mineral slowly said, "Welcome!" The bee was so pleased, it buzzed around the mineral and said, "Let's be friends!" + +The mineral started to feel warm and happy. He and the bee became the best of friends, and every day the bee would say, "Welcome!" as it flew up to meet the slow mineral. +The ground shook and rumbled. It was a distant earthquake. Joey and his mummy were scared. "What do we do?" asked Joey. His mummy was worried. She said "Weigh it be okay. Let's go outside." They stepped outside. The ground was still shaking. Then, suddenly, there was a loud crashing noise. The tower next to their house had broken and it was now collapsing. Joey screamed and his mummy grabbed him and ran. They ran and ran until they were safe. But, the house was gone and Joey was still scared. The earthquake had been very bad. +Once there was a family that was very organized. Every Saturday morning, they all went to the street in front of their house and played. Dad and Mom had a routine – Dad stayed on the street, while Mom drove off to park the car. + +This Saturday morning was different, though. Dad hadn't been able to follow the routine, because their street was all blocked off. Dad had to find a different place to park the car. + +Mom, who had gone off in the car to park it, came back looking angry. + +"Dad," she said. "Why didn't you find another street to park the car on?" + +Dad looked a bit embarrassed. "I did," he said, "but it was really full, and I couldn't find a place to park." + +Mom sighed and gave Dad a hug. "It's okay," she said. "We'll find another way to organize ourselves next week." +Timmy was a happy little boy. He liked to play outside, but it was too hot this day. So, he decided to act and pretend he was somewhere else. He imagined he was a daisy floating in a meadow. The daisy was light and free. + +Suddenly, the sky darkened, and Timmy felt heavy rain. The rain felt like big drops of water, heavy on his face. He quickly ran inside. + +He was still acting and pretending he was a daisy, but now, he was imagining he was a beautiful daisy in a shiny pond. The rain made the water very deep and sparkly. + +Timmy smiled, feeling like he was really a daisy in this magical place. He imagined the pond flowing with heavy drops of rain. He laughed loudly and swam around. + +He stayed in this enchanted place until the rain passed, and he was happy. He was ready to go back and play outside again. +Jack was standing in front of the mirror gazing at his reflection. He had a towel draped around his neck, and the towel was hairy. + +Suddenly, he heard a voice from the other room. “Jack, what are you doing?†+ +Embarrassed, Jack looked away from the mirror and said, “I’m looking at myself.†+ +His mom smiled as he stepped into the room. “Well, isn’t it wonderful to be so curious? Let’s wash up so we can go to the park.†+ +Jack picked up the hairy towel and smiled. He couldn’t wait to go and explore. +Once upon a time there were two birds, Frank and Jack. They were best friends and loved to play together. But Jack was poor and Frank was rich. + +One day, Jack wanted to play with a toy engine, but he didn’t have one. He went to Frank and asked him to lend him one of his engines. Frank hesitated, but in the end he agreed. + +Unfortunately, Jack didn’t look after the engine as he should and it broke. Jack was sad and embarrassed. He apologised to Frank for not taking good care of it. Frank forgave him and told him an important lesson: when someone lends you something, you must take good care of it and return it in the same condition as you received it. + +Both Frank and Jack learned a valuable lesson that day: always help those in need and take care of what’s been lent to you out of kindness. +Once upon a time there was a girl named Sarah. Sarah was very excited to go on a trip with her family. As they drove, she looked out the window and saw the amazing views. + +Sarah's mom asked her "What is the best part about the trip, Sarah?" Sarah replied "The views." + +Her mom then suggested "Let's try to find the most beautiful views, without spending too much money". Sarah was happy to do that. + +They went on the trip, stopping at different sites and only paying for the cheapest views. In the end, Sarah saw the most beautiful views and felt glad that she had done it without being too spendy. + +The moral of the story is that sometimes the best things in life come from knowing how to get good value. +One day, Jack was very excited. He was going to stay with his grandpa. He packed his bag and said goodbye to his mom and dad, who gave him lots of hugs. + +When he arrived, Jack was even more excited. His grandpa had a big garden with lots of birds and flowers. They went exploring and Jack was amazed by all the things he saw. + +At night, they cooked dinner together and watched a movie under the stars. Jack was so excited that he didn't want his stay to end. + +The next morning, Jack and his grandpa said their goodbyes. Jack was sad to part, but happy that he had had such an amazing time. +Once upon a time there was a cool girl called Peppa. She loved to explore and always had great adventures. + +One day, Peppa discovered a secret place in the woods. She opened the door and stepped inside, turning around to shut the door. To her amazement, the room was full of memories! + +Suddenly, a voice called out. "Don't shut the door, Peppa. Come in, come in." Peppa smiled - it was her grandmother, who had come to show her the magical room. Grandma explained that the memories in the room belonged to all the generations of her family, so that each one of them could keep something special to them after they were gone. + +Peppa loved going to spend time in the magical room with her grandmother. She enjoyed seeing all the memories around her, learning about her family and hearing wonderful stories. + +Every time she had to go home, Peppa would whisper to the door: "Don't shut until I come back," and the magical room seemed to listen and stay open until the next time. +The sky was filled with a pretty pink colour. Jill was gazing at the sky, looking for something special. She saw a big bird soaring high in the air. It was so pretty. She wanted to fly like that bird. She ran to her mom and asked for help. Her mom said she would help her. + +But, Jill's mom didn't give her help directly. She made a pot of pink tea and gave it to Jill to drink. Jill was excited to drink the pink tea and thought it would give her the courage to fly. She gulped the tea down and hopped up onto her feet. + +But, suddenly her feet felt like jelly. She couldn't even stand up anymore. She tried to get up, but her legs were too weak. She could feel her hopes and dreams of soaring in the sky fading away. + +Foreshadowing had been in Jill's world moments before, when her mom suggested drinking the pink tea. It was this suggestion that lead to Jill's ultimate failure and ultimate disappointment. +Once upon a time, there was a humble band of four friends. They were very excited to organize their first music jam. They sang and danced for hours together. + +The four friends had so much fun. Suddenly, one of them had an idea to start their own band. They agreed to it and started looking for a place to practice. + +The four friends were so excited that they started practising in the same place every day without fail. + +But they never felt satisfied and decided to compete against each other. The competition made them all angry and they cried and yelled at each other. + +The friends were not humble any more and they finally broke apart. They stopped playing music and their band was no more. + +Moral of the story: Working together in harmony is more rewarding than competing against each other. +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Jack and Jill. They were both wearing bright red jackets. They went outside to play and Jack found a big stick. + +"What are you going to do with that stick?" Jill asked. + +"I'm going to poke it in the ground," Jack said. + +So Jack started to poke the stick in the ground. Suddenly, something very sour started coming out of the ground. + +"What is that smell?" Jill asked. + +Jack sniffed the smell and said, "It smells sour like lemons." + +"That's not normal," Jill said. + +The two friends decided to put their jackets over their nose and mouths to help the smell. They then looked around to see where the smell was coming from. + +They saw a big, sour lemon tree with lots of lemons on it. + +"Who would have guessed there would be a sour lemon tree here," Jack said. + +The two friends then decided to collect some of the lemons and make some lemonade. +Once upon a time, in a small town, there lived two best friends called Jack and Amy. They were as close as two people could be. + +One day, Jack and Amy decided to explore the town together. They walked along the roads, looking at all the houses and shops, when they noticed an old lady carrying a large box. The old lady had a hard time carrying it and Jack said to Amy: + +"Let's use our compassion to help her." + +Amy agreed, and both Jack and Amy ran to help the old lady. They each took one side of the box and helped to carry it to the old lady's house. When they got there, the old lady thanked them for their help and gave them both a big hug. + +Jack and Amy smiled at each other. They had used their compassion to help someone in need and they were really happy they had done so. +Jimmy and his mommy were walking on the beach. They enjoyed the sound of the sea. Suddenly, Jimmy saw something. It was big and dark - and it was dead! He was so scared and he started to panic. His mommy ran over and saw it was just a big, old fish. She comforted Jimmy and dried his tears. She told him it was ok and she hugged him. Jimmy felt safe and started to laugh. He knew the sea was kind and safe. He didn't need to panic. Mommy was there to help him. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Amy. She was three years old and loved to explore. One day she was playing in the garden with her friends when she noticed something hidden beneath a tree. She ran over to investigate and found a delicious bowl of pasta. + +"This pasta looks so yummy!" She said to her friends. "Let's eat it!" + +They all gathered around and ate the pasta until it was gone. But just as they had finished, the pasta magically disappeared. + +"Where did it go?" Amy asked her friends. + +But none of them knew. Together they searched all around the garden but there was no sign of the pasta. They could not find it anywhere. It seemed to have simply disappeared. + +Amy and her friends were very sad but they decided to go back to playing. They had fun running around and exploring until it was time to go home. + +But deep inside Amy still wondered where the hidden pasta had gone. She was sure she would never find out. +Once upon a time there was a generous bunny. His name was Jack. Jack had a beautiful garden filled with all kinds of flowers and plants. Every morning he would admire the colors and smells of his garden. One special morning, he noticed that there was a jar of jam in the middle of his garden. + +He wasn't sure where the jam came from, but he thought it must have been a gift from one of his friends. He was so happy to get this surprise that he decided to give a jar of jam to each of his friends. He took some of the jam and put it in little jars. + +When Jack’s friends got their gifts, they were very happy. They admired Jack’s generosity and thanked him for the jam. From that day on, they always had enough jam to enjoy with their ever-so-special breakfast. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Daisy. Daisy lived in a big, round house on the earth. + +Every night, Daisy's mommy would take her outside to perform some magical shows. Daisy would point at the stars and very bright light would appear above them. Daisy would clap her hands and the light would burst and make a rainbow. + +One night, Daisy was very upset. Her mommy told her that there was no show that night. Daisy shouted and cried, but her mommy said there was nothing more they could do. + +But then, Daisy remembered something special she had seen in her backyard. Daisy ran to her backyard and found a big, strong tree. Daisy's mommy was surprised by what Daisy did next. Daisy hugged the tree tight and sang a song. + +As Daisy sang, the tree suddenly glowed and two beautiful birds flew out of its branches. Daisy smiled as the birds flew up high into the night sky. Daisy was happy to perform her own little show. +Once upon a time there was a man. He wanted to go to the park but he was embarrassed. He kept thinking of how people might look at him and he wondered what he should do. He felt sad and didn't want to go. + +But then one day the man allowed himself to go to the park. He took a deep breath and said to himself, "I'll go and even if I am embarrassed, at least I'm going." So he went. + +At first it was strange but the man just kept walking. He smiled and said hello to people he passed. He even swung on the swings, went down the slide and played tag. Pretty soon, the man stopped feeling embarrassed. He allowed himself to have fun. + +It was a wonderful day at the park and the man had a great time. He felt proud he allowed himself to go and have fun, even though he was embarrassed. He still visits the park regularly, always ready to have fun. +The weather was nice, but it was unknown what kind of day it would be. + +Miles looked around, he saw the mailbox near the street. He was very excited to mail his letter. + +He wrote a letter to his grandpa and stuck it into the mailbox, it made a sound when it hit the bottom. Miles felt happy and clapped his hands. + +He waited to see what the weather would be like when his grandpa got the letter. He wanted the weather to be just right when his grandpa read it. Then, Miles ran home and waited for the letter. + +He was very excited to see what his grandpa would say! +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Daisy. She loved to explore the forest near her house. On one of her trips she noticed a small twig on the ground. She picked it up and looked at it closely. She thought it was incredible! + +As she studied it she noticed the many shapes and textures of the wood. Daisy wanted to keep this incredible twig forever so she decided to take it home. + +At home she put the twig in a special spot. Every day she would hold it and think about how amazing it was. It made her feel so happy. + +As the weeks went on Daisy began to value her twig. She saw it as a reminder of how incredible the world can be. And of course the twig made her happy! So she decided to keep it with her always. + +The twig became Daisy's most treasured possession, it was something she valued more than anything else. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Daisy. Daisy wanted to go for a walk and have fun outside, but when she looked out the window, she could see a big fog outside. + +"It's too foggy to go for a walk," said Daisy. + +Then, her mom came over and said, "If you're patient, the fog will go away and you can go for a walk." + +Daisy was determined to wait, so she said, "I promise to wait until the fog is gone." + +Her mom smiled and said, "Good girl!" + +So, Daisy waited and waited. It felt like a long time. Finally, the fog lifted and Daisy was able to go outside and have fun! +Nana and Cora were walking to the station together. The sky was bright, and the station was old. "Where are we going, Nana?" asked Cora. + +"We're going to a place that will make a change in our lives!" Nana said. "Are you ready to find out what it is?" + +Cora nodded eagerly, and soon they arrived at the station. They walked through the big door and looked around the old station. It was very quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the air. + +In the corner of the station, they saw a door. Nana smiled, and opened it. Cora stepped through, and saw a new train was parked inside. "This is what will change your life, Cora," said Nana. + +Cora smiled. The train was shiny and new, ready to take them anywhere they wanted to go. She hugged Nana, feeling very happy. The station had changed their lives, just as Nana said it would! +One day a child was outside playing with a great big ball. The child was so happy and delighted and wanted to show everyone what great fun he was having. The child ran around and around, laughing and pointing to the ball. + +Suddenly a voice shouted out, "Hey, what's that you are pointing at?" + +The child stopped in his tracks and answered, "It's a ball!" + +The voice answered, "That's a great ball! Here, why don't you try throwing it up like this?" The voice showed the child how to throw the ball up and the child caught it with a big grin on his face. + +The voice said, "That was great! I have something even better that I'm sure you will like.

She had found a hidden candy - yum! She smiled and thanked her brave heart for helping her find something so yummy. +Once upon a time, there was a tiny bird with a soft heart. She enjoyed flying above the clouds and playing in the sun.

She flapped her wings and dived right in, the water was very soft and felt so nice on her feathers! + +The bird floated on the little lake, enjoying the sun's warmth on her face.

She said, "Please, no more running on the stairs. It hurts my ears. Go play in your room or in the garden." Tom and Lily nodded, but they did not want to stop.

They did not hear their mom calling them to stop. They did not see their dad coming home from work. They did not notice the loose step that wobbled when they stepped on it. + +Suddenly, there was a loud crack, and the step broke. Tom and Lily fell down, tumbling and rolling. They hit the floor with a thud, and cried out in pain. Their mom and dad heard the noise and ran to see what happened. They saw their children lying on the floor, with wood and nails around them. + +"Oh, no! Are you okay?" their dad asked, as he picked them up and hugged them. Their mom checked them for injuries, and found some bruises and scratches, but nothing serious. She said, "You are very lucky. That could have been much worse. Why did you not listen to me? I told you to stop running on the stairs." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other, and felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were having fun, and we forgot. We did not mean to break the step, or to hurt you, or to scare you. We love you." + +Their mom and dad smiled, and said, "We love you too. But you have to be careful, and follow the rules. The stairs are not a toy. They are for walking, not for running. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded, and said, "We understand. We will not do it again. Can we help you fix the step?" + +Their mom and dad said, "Yes, you can. But first, let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies. You need some sugar to increase your energy. And then, we will fix the step together. How does that sound?" + +Tom and Lily said, "That sounds good. Thank you, mom and dad. You are the best." + +They hugged their parents, and walked to the kitchen, holding hands. They learned their lesson, and never ran on the stairs again. +Tom and Sam like to play pirate.

They wanted to see who could make the highest tower with their circles. + +"I have more circles than you," Lily said. "My tower will be taller." + +"No, you don't," Ben said. "My tower will be tougher. It will not fall down." + +They stacked their circles on top of each other, trying to make them balance. Lily's tower was taller, but it was wobbly. Ben's tower was shorter, but it was sturdy. + +Suddenly, Lily felt a tickle in her nose. She tried to hold it in, but she could not. She sneezed very loud and hard. Her sneeze made her tower shake and topple over. Her circles rolled all over the floor. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "My tower is gone!" + +Ben looked at his tower. It was still standing. He felt sorry for Lily. He did not want to make her feel bad. + +"Here, Lily," he said. "You can have some of my circles. We can make a new tower together. A taller and tougher one." + +Lily smiled.

He pushed Sam away. + +They started to fight over the belt. They pulled and tugged and shouted. They did not hear Dad coming into the garage. + +"What are you two doing?" Dad said in a loud voice. He saw the box and the belt and his face turned red. He was very angry. + +"That's my belt! It's not a toy! It's a special belt that I use for work! It can reveal hidden things with a button!"

He speaks to Anna. "No, Anna, I do not want to climb the ladder. It is too high and too scary. I will stay down here and watch you." + +Anna is sad. She wants to share the view with Ben. She speaks to Ben. "Please, Ben, do not be scared. The ladder is safe and strong. I will help you and hold your hand. It will be fun and you will like it." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He trusts Anna and he wants to make her happy. He nods his head. He speaks to Anna. "Okay, Anna, I will try. But you have to be careful and gentle. Do not let me fall." + +Anna smiles.

He looked at her knee and saw a small cut. He said, "It's not bad, Sara. Just a little boo-boo. I have a band-aid in my pocket. I'll put it on your knee and it will feel better." + +He took out a band-aid and stuck it on Sara's knee. Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You're a good brother. Can we still go to the other side of the hill?" + +Ben said, "Sure, Sara. But let's be careful. Hold my hand and we'll go slowly." + +They held hands and walked up the hill. When they reached the top, they saw a big surprise. There was a small house with a red roof and a blue door. There was a sign that said, "Welcome to the fairy house. Ring the bell and make a wish." + +Sara and Ben were curious and excited. They ran to the door and rang the bell. The bell made a loud and pretty sound. Ding, dong, ding, dong! + +Suddenly, a fairy appeared. She had wings and a dress and a wand. She smiled and said, "Hello, Sara and Ben. I'm the fairy of the hill. You rang my bell and made a wish. What do you wish for?" + +Sara and Ben looked at each other and thought. They had many things they wanted, like toys and candy and books. But they also remembered how they helped each other and how happy they were together. They said, "We wish for nothing, fairy. We have everything we need. We have each other and we have fun." + +The fairy was surprised and pleased. She said, "That's a very wise and kind wish, Sara and Ben. You are good children. You don't need my magic to make you happy. You have your own magic in your hearts. But I'll give you a gift anyway. A gift of joy and laughter. Watch this!" + +She waved her wand and made a lot of bubbles appear. The bubbles were big and colorful and shiny. They floated in the air and popped when they touched something. Sara and Ben laughed and clapped and chased the bubbles. They felt dizzy and happy. + +The fairy said, "Have fun, Sara and Ben. And remember, the best things in life are not things. They are love and friendship and fun. Goodbye!" She disappeared with a flash of light. + +Sara and Ben said, "Goodbye, fairy. Thank you for the bubbles. And thank you for the lesson.

Lily and Ben wanted to water them, but they saw a sign that said "Do not spray". They wondered why. + +They asked their mom, who told them that the new flowers were very special and delicate. They needed very little water and too much spray would make them sick. She said they could look at them, but not touch them. + +Lily and Ben nodded, but they were curious. They wanted to see how the flowers would react to the spray. They waited until their mom was busy and they sneaked to the patch. They each took their spray bottle and sprayed a little bit on the flowers. + +The flowers did not like it. They started to wilt and droop. Some of them turned brown and fell off. Lily and Ben were scared. They had ruined the flowers. They ran away and hid. + +Their mom noticed the patch and saw what had happened. She was very sad and angry. She looked for Lily and Ben and found them in their room. She asked them why they had sprayed the flowers. They said they were sorry, but they were jealous. They wanted to play with the new flowers too. + +Their mom said that being jealous was not a good reason to hurt something. She said that the flowers were a gift from their grandma, who loved them very much. She said that they had to learn to respect and appreciate what they had, and not to ruin what they did not have. She said that they had to help her fix the patch and apologize to their grandma. + +Lily and Ben felt very bad. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry.
