He was so excited about reading about their adventures that he simply couldn't wait to finish. But he knew that he had to be in order otherwise he wouldn't be able to read the entire story. + +So, the bright boy decided to finish everything he had to do - his chores and school work - before he would open his book again. It was hard, but finally all of his tasks were done and he could start reading the book. + +When he finished he felt very accomplished. He realized that when he followed the order of things, he could enjoy his books even more. + +The moral of the story is that when you stick to the order of things, even though it might be hard, you will enjoy the rewards. +Jimmy was playing with his toys when he heard a loud noise in the sky. He looked out of his window and saw a helicopter. He dashed outside and shouted happily "Look! A helicopter!" + +But as Jimmy watched, two men jumped out of the helicopter and ran towards Jimmy's house. Jimmy was scared and ran back inside, but it was too late. The men grabbed him and put him in a sack. + +Jimmy was deaf and couldn't hear what the men were saying, but he could tell they were very angry. He screamed and shouted to try and get help, but the men just laughed and tied the sack up tight. + +The men put Jimmy in the helicopter and flew away. Jimmy felt scared and helpless, but he could only hope that someone would rescue him soon. Unfortunately, no one ever did and Jimmy's fate remains unknown. +Once upon a time, there was an ancient elf who lived in the woods. Every day, the elf liked to jump and play. He would jump from tree to tree, from log to log, and from rock to rock. One day, the elf was feeling especially brave, so he decided to jump really high. + +The elf jumped really high into the sky and began to fly. He flew higher and higher until he spotted a strange land far below. He decided to jump from the sky to see what the land was like. As he got closer to the ground, he could see that the land was really old and ancient. + +The elf landed softly in the ancient land. He was so amazed by all the sights, sounds, and smells he saw. He explored the whole land and as he did, he jumped and hopped, amazed at all the strange things he found. + +The elf was so happy he had jumped and flown off to discover the ancient land. He had an adventure he would never forget. +Nicole loved to play baseball. She grabbed the big, soft ball and ran with it. She threw it high in the air and watched it land with a gentle shake of the ground. Nicole smiled and grabbed the ball to throw again. She kept playing until it was time to go home. + +When Nicole got home, her mom put her in a warm bath. Nicole put the baseball in the tub with her. The water was gentle and bubbly, so Nicole decided to shake the baseball and make some more bubbles. She had so much fun she forgot how tired she was. When she was done, she carefully dried off the baseball to save for the next game. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sally. She was three years old. + +One day, Sally and her mom went to the store to buy some new scissors. + +When they arrived, Sally and her mom saw that the store was very organized. Everything had its place! + +Sally's mom asked, "Can you help me find some scissors, Sally?" + +Sally nodded, and went looking for scissors. She looked and looked, and finally found the perfect pair! She showed them to her mom, who smiled and said, "Those are perfect. Let's get them!" + +When they got home, Sally was very tired. She wanted to rest. She found a comfy spot on the couch, and laid down with her scissors. + +Sally smiled and put her scissors away, nice and organized. Then she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. +Once upon a time, a little girl named Pinny was walking through the woods. She was very hungry. Suddenly, she saw something hang from a tree. It was a shiny button! Pinny wanted it, so she tried to get it. She jumped and reached, but the button was too high. + +Pinny looked around. She saw a branch on the ground. She picked it up and tried to reach the button again. But, the branch was too short. She sighed. + +"It looks like I need help," she said to herself. + +A voice came from behind her. It was a lady. "Do you need help?" she asked. + +Pinny smiled. She was so happy to have found help. She explained the button was out of reach and she was hungry. + +The lady pointed at the branch, "Leave the branch here. Then, if you can answer one question for me, I will help you get the button and I will give you some food." + +Pinny was excited but exhausted. She agreed to the lady's challenge. + +The lady asked, "What does 'hang' mean?" + +Pinny thought and thought, then she remembered. "Hang means to stay in the same place," she replied. + +The lady smiled. She hung the branch from the tree, and Pinny was finally able to reach the button. +Once upon a time there was a big berry. It was a great big berry, bigger than all the others. Every day it said to itself, "Remind yourself that you are big, the biggest of them all". + +One day, a little bunny came along. He wanted to pick the big berry and take it home with him. But the big berry said, "No, don't pick me! Remind yourself that I am big and will stay here". + +The bunny was sad, but he nodded and said, "Yes, I will remind myself". From then on he visited the big berry every day and would always keep it in mind. + +The big berry was so happy that it shone brightly in the sky, showing everyone how much it liked being reminded of just how big it was. +Once upon a time, there was a pig who lived in a mysterious forest. He loved to wander around the forest and explore all the twists and turns. One day, while he was exploring, he noticed a strange birch tree that seemed to have something underneath. Curious, the pig went closer to investigate. Suddenly, the tree creaked and a door appeared. + +The pig was excited, so he went inside the door. Immediately he felt a weird sensation, as if he was in a different place. He explored the room and found a glittery book on a shelf. He opened the book and saw words written in some kind of strange language. + +The pig had no idea what the words meant and he felt very mystified. Then he heard a voice calling out from the other side of the room. He looked around and saw a little girl wearing a purple dress. "Can you help me?", she asked. + +The pig was very surprised, but he nodded and asked what she wanted help with. + +The little girl put out her hand and said, "I need help to read this book. Can you teach me?" +The pig was delighted and was eager to help. He taught the little girl some simple words and soon she was able to read the book. + +The pig and the little girl became friends and they spent many days together reading and exploring the mysterious forest. +Once upon a time, there were two friends: a bear and a rabbit. Both of their jobs were dry and hard work, so when the day was over, they were both exhausted. + +The bear and the rabbit decided to take a break, so they went off to the beach. When they got there, they felt so relaxed. They were sitting on the beach, having a nice conversation, when the rabbit asked the bear, "What do you like to do when you want to relax?" + +The bear said, "I like to swim in the dry river. It's a nice way to relax and forget about work." The rabbit thought that sounded great, so they both went to the dry river and started swimming. + +They had so much fun swimming and relaxing on the beach. It felt nice to forget about the job and have some fun. They spent the day swimming, laughing and having a great time. + +When the day was over, the bear and the rabbit went back home feeling relaxed and happy. +Once upon a time, there were two animals living in the same safari. One was a lion and the other was a turtle. Usually they got on very well, but one day they had an argument and started to fight. + +The lion was roaring loudly and the turtle was making a funny noise. The other animals in the safari were very scared. + +Then the cheetah came running up to them. "Stop!" He said. "Fighting is not good. We should all get along better". + +The lion said to the turtle, "Sorry, I did not mean to fight". + +The turtle replied, "That's OK, I forgive you. Let's play a game together. How about a race? I will be very fast". + +They all laughed and decided to compete in a race. The cheetah won and the lion and turtle cheered for him. They all went away happy, not fighting anymore. Everybody learned that it is important to be friends instead of fighting. +There were two friends. One was named Jim and the other was named Molly. Jim was very selfish and liked to play by himself. + +One day, when Molly was walking by Jim's house, she saw him outside. He was running around in circles. Molly asked him what he was doing. + +Jim said he was racing the rain. He explained that the clouds were getting grey and he wanted to see who could make it around the yard before the rain started to fall. + +Molly laughed and said she wanted to race too. But Jim said that it would not be fair, because he was older and faster than Molly. + +Molly was unhappy and called Jim selfish. Then she left and went home. + +But Jim stayed in the yard and although he raced alone, he had learned a valuable lesson about being too selfish to share. +Once there was a little girl who was full of energy and life. She loved to explore new places and discover new things. One day, she was out playing in the sunshine when her mom recommended that she come inside. She was disappointed, but she went in to get out of the warm rain that had started to come down. + +The next day, the little girl was ready to go out and explore again. Her mom recommended that she play with her toys inside since the rain was still coming down. The little girl was sad, but she decided to play with her toys anyway. + +Then, her mom had a great idea! She recommended that the little girl race around the house as fast as she could. It was lots of fun! The little girl ran around so fast, she could barely keep up with herself! Even though the rain was still falling, she had a fun day at home. +Ken was walking down the street when he saw an elderly lady. She was struggling to carry a heavy bag, so he offered to help her. + +"Thank you, young man," she said. "But I can manage." + +Ken insisted, but the lady didn't seem to listen. He helped her to her house, and when they got to the porch she pointed to a cord. + +"Would you mind pulling this cord?" she asked. + +Ken was curious, but he did as she asked. Suddenly, he heard a rattling from inside the house. + +Ken thought it might be a surprise, but he wasn't sure until the lady opened the door and he saw her friends standing there. + +"Surprise!" the elderly lady said. She'd insisted on carrying the heavy bag herself so she could surprise Ken. + +Ken smiled and thanked the elderly lady. It was a birthday party he would never forget! +Sammy was a 3-year-old boy who had a lot of toys. One day, he was playing with a set of wooden blocks, building a tall tower. The tallest block he had was jutting out the top of the tower, almost too tall for Sammy to manage. + +Suddenly, his mother called from the kitchen, and Sammy had to run off to give her a hand. Worried that his tower might fall without his help, Sammy grabbed hold of a nearby rail to make sure the fragile building didn't collapse. + +He then ran off to help his mother. + +Once Sammy had finished helping his mother, he ran back to find his tower was still standing. He sighed with relief and starting to take a closer look, only to find the rail he had propped the tower up with had splintered. The biggest piece was missing and it had created a space far too big for his tower to stay standing. + +Sad to see his hard work disappear, Sammy decided that sometimes it was better to be patient and ask for help, rather than try and do everything himself. +Once upon a time there was a fat cat called Meow. She loved to eat and sleep all day. + +One day, Meow decided to invite all of her animal neighbours to dinner. She wanted to show them a special pattern she'd made. + +So Meow sent out a bunch of invitations and the animals were so excited!

She said “This pattern is for you all. You can use it however you like!†+ +The animals were so delighted and thanked Meow for the invite. They all agreed that Meow was the best cat ever! +The driver was strong. She had a job to measure something. She measured it with a ruler. She measured it over and over again. + +A three-year-old saw her and asked, "What are you doing?" + +The driver said, "I'm measuring this. I need to make sure it's the same length every time." + +The three year old said, "Can I help?" + +The driver smiled and said, "Sure. Here, you can hold the ruler." + +The three year old took the ruler and tried to measure it too. Together, they measured it again and again. + +The driver said, "See, you’re helping me measure." + +The three year old felt very strong.

What will I do?" + +Just then, Farmer Sally drove up in her truck. She said, "Come put the hay on my truck too! That way, you'll still have enough to get through the winter no matter what happens." + +Farmer Tom was very grateful. He loaded his hay onto Farmer Sally's truck and drove away. He thought to himself, "What a generous and unselfish thing to do." + +But little did Farmer Tom know, Sally was being selfish. While loading Tom's hay, Sally had actually switched her own hay with Tom's, hoping to get the best hay for herself this winter. + +The rain kept coming down, and at the winter's end, Farmer Tom realized what Sally had done. He was very angry. Meanwhile, Farmer Sally was delighted to have the best hay in the whole farm - all thanks to her selfish act. +Once upon a time there was a little girl name Kate.

So, Bill and Kate had to go inside. + +Kate was worried that the rain was ruining their fun. That's when Bill had an idea. He said to Kate, "Let's have a joke contest. Whoever tells the funniest joke wins!" + +Kate smiled. She thought it was a great idea! She said, "Ok! I'm going to go first. Why don't pigs fly?" + +Bill thought for a second and then said, "Because they don't want to get airplane wings!" + +Kate couldn't help but to laugh. It was the funniest joke she'd ever heard. + +"You win!" she said. + +"Yeah!" Bill said, high-fiving Kate. + +And they laughed and laughed until the rain stopped and they could go back outside and continue playing. +Freddy was a busy bear.

She saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky. She knew that this was a sign that something special was going to happen. + +Anna smiled. She ran back to the house and hugged her mom. It was clear that everything was going to be ok +Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird that lived in a tree. He lived in a big tall tree with lots of branches. + +One day, it started to rain. The bird was very scared, because the wind was so strong and the branches were too thin. + +The bird looked around and saw a modern house nearby. He flew over to the house and knocked on the door. + +He saw a nice man open the door. "Hello, can I come in?" the bird asked. + +The man smiled. He opened the door wide and said "Yes, you can come in. It is warm and dry inside. The rain won't bother you here". + +And so the bird lived in the modern house until the rain stopped. +Nina and her mom were at the beach. Nina saw a big surf board and wanted to try it. Her mom said,"No, Nina. That is a big surf board. It is too heavy for you." + +But Nina wanted to try the surf board. She said,"Please, mommy. I want to feed it!" + +Her mom said,"No. You are too little and it's too big for you." + +Nina was sad and started to cry. She asked,"Why can't I feed it?" + +Her mom said,"Because it's too big, and you could get hurt. You're too small." + +Nina started to cry even louder, but then she stopped. She saw a smaller surf board nearby. She asked her mom,"Can I feed this one? It looks much smaller." + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, Nina. It looks like a good size for you.

She knew she had been too busy and too focused on her blocks to think of her daughter. + +So the busy lady put away her blocks and said to her daughter: "Let's play together! I can make a castle with you". + +The little girl smiled and ran to her mum. They spent all day playing and having fun together. + +The moral of the story is that spending time with the people you love is more important than being busy with your own things. +John and Jane were at the park. It was a hot day and they were playing tag. They had been running around for a long time when suddenly John tripped and fell on the ground.

They chased it for a long time, but eventually the rat managed to give them the slip and ran out of sight. + +Mary and Bryant had learnt an important lesson that day, that respect for animals was important, and that one should not try to catch wild animals.

It was dry, crunchy and brown. + +The second friend stopped, "What did you just do?" + +The first friend said, “I ate a crouton from the salad. Do you want one too?†+ +The second friend shook his head, "No, let's not repeat that.

He knew he should turn around and go back. But he wanted to find out more about the mystery of the cable. + +He stepped through the lake, following the cable until he reached a bridge. He crossed it, leaving wet footprints behind. And soon he was back where he had started.

He had been looking for his mum's perfume for hours, but he could not find it. He kept looking, but he just could not find it. + +Tony heard his mum coming down the stairs.

The children looked up at the sun shining through the window and said, "Yes, it is light!".

She was thankful for the kind old man's advice, and she knew she needed to always remember it. +Once upon a time, there were two bears, Tom and Jack. Tom was always in a rush and moved very quickly while Jack moved slowly and stopped often to take in the sights. + +"Why must you always speed off like that," Jack asked Tom one day, "you'll never get to enjoy anything if you don't take it a little more slowly." + +Tom replied, "I have to go fast. I have so much to do." + +The two bears continued their walk and noticed a huge tree stump with an axe lying next to it. Jack suggested that Tom use his speed to chop the stump down in no time at all. + +So Tom picked up the axe and quickly began to chop away at the stump. Before he knew it, the axe had chipped the stump down to a perfect shape. + +Tom was proud of his work but Jack reminded him, "sometimes slow and steady will get you the perfect result.

She pointed to a smaller cob and said, "But this one is easier to hold. Would you like to try it?" + +John smiled and said, "Yes please!" His mom gave him the smaller corn cob and he hugged it tightly. He could now understand why the bigger cob was too heavy. + +John held the small corn cob in his hands and started walking away with a big smile on his face.

Fortunately, the same lawyer she met in the park was available and ready to help her. Amy was relieved, collected and grateful to the lawyer for helping her with her problem. All because she asked a simple question that embarrassed her in the park. +Once upon a time, there was a nice little girl. She loved to play with her rag doll.

They were curious and asked, "What do you want to teach us?" + +The green tiger said, "I want to teach you not to judge by the color. Just because I am green, it does not mean I am bad or scary. I am just different. And different is good. You can learn a lot from different people and animals. They have different stories and skills and ideas. You should be kind and respectful to everyone, no matter what they look like." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We understand. We are sorry for running away. We were wrong to think you were mean.

What is it?" + +The green tiger said, "You have to guess. It is something that you like to do in the park. It is fun and colorful and makes you happy." + +Tom and Lily thought hard and said, "Is it a slide? Is it a swing? Is it a ball?" + +The green tiger said, "No, no, and no. But you are close. It is something that flies in the sky. It has a string and a tail. It can be shaped like a star or a heart or a dragon." + +Tom and Lily said, "We know. It is a kite!" + +The green tiger said, "You are right. It is a kite. And I have one for each of you. Here, take them. They are green, like me. Let's go and fly them together." + +Tom and Lily were very happy and thanked the green tiger. They took the kites and ran to the open field.

She liked to swing her braids when she ran and played. + +One night, Sara had a dream. She dreamed that she was in a big park with many flowers and trees. She saw a big swing that she wanted to try. She ran to the swing and sat on it. She pushed with her feet and went higher and higher. + +But then, something bad happened. One of her ribbons came off and her braid came apart. Her hair flew in the wind and got tangled in the swing. She felt a pull and a pain. She cried out loud. + +She woke up and saw that it was only a dream.

She hoped to have a better dream next time. +Lily liked to play with fire. She had a box of matches that she hid under her bed. Sometimes, when her mom and dad were not looking, she would light a match and watch it burn. She liked the bright color and the warm feeling. + +One day, she found a big candle in the living room.

She locked the door and put the candle on the floor. + +She lit a match and touched it to the candle. The candle started to burn. Lily smiled and watched the flame.

Lily liked it more. + +She did not see the smoke that filled the room. She did not hear the fire alarm that beeped. She did not smell the burning carpet that caught fire. She only saw the candle and the flame. She lit another match and touched it to the candle. The flame was huge and hot. Lily felt scared and tried to blow it out. But it was too late. + +The flame jumped to her dress and burned her skin. Lily screamed and cried. She dropped the matches and the candle. She ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked and hot. She banged on the door and shouted for help. But no one heard her. The fire was too loud and too fast. Lily fell to the floor and stopped moving. Her heart stopped beating. She was gone. +Lila and Ben are going to the beach with Mom and Dad. They have to pack their bags with things they need. Lila puts her swimsuit, her hat, her towel, and her sunblock in her bag.

He also puts his shovel, his bucket, and his palm in his bag. He likes to dig and make sandcastles with his palm. He found his palm on the ground one day and he thinks it is cool. + +"Ben, why do you pack your palm?" Lila asks. "It is not a toy. It is just a leaf." + +"It is not just a leaf. It is my palm. It is my friend. It helps me make sandcastles. It is better than your snake. Your snake is not real. It is just a toy." Ben says. + +"No, it is not. My snake is real. It is flexible. It can move and twist and curl. It is better than your palm. Your palm is not real. It is just a leaf. It can not move or do anything." Lila says. + +They start to argue and shout. They do not want to share their toys. They do not want to play together. + +Mom and Dad hear them and come to see what is wrong. They see their bags and their toys. They see their angry faces and their loud voices. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom says. "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?" + +"Lila says my palm is not a toy. She says it is just a leaf. She says her snake is better." Ben says. + +"Ben says my snake is not real. He says it is just a toy. He says his palm is better." Lila says. + +Mom and Dad look at each other and sigh. They know they have to help them get along. + +"Listen, Lila and Ben. Your toys are different, but they are both good. They are both fun. They are both yours. You can pack whatever you want in your bags. But you have to be nice to each other. You have to respect each other. You have to share and take turns. You are brother and sister. You are a team. You are going to the beach to have fun, not to fight. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Lila and Ben nod. They feel sorry for being mean. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. + +"Good. Now, let's go to the beach. Maybe you can show each other how to play with your toys. Maybe you can make a sandcastle with a snake and a palm. Maybe you can have more fun together." Dad says. + +Lila and Ben smile. They agree. They take their bags and follow Mom and Dad. They are ready to go to the beach. They are ready to have fun. They are ready to be a team. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play together. They had a lot of toys, but they always wanted more. One day, they saw a big parade in the street.

They ran to the man and shouted different names. + +"Is it a dog?" Tom asked. + +"No, it is not a dog," the man said. + +"Is it a cat?" Sam asked. + +"No, it is not a cat," the man said. + +"Is it a horse?" Tom asked. + +"No, it is not a horse," the man said. + +"Is it a mouse?" Sam asked. + +"No, it is not a mouse," the man said. + +Tom and Sam kept guessing, but they could not name the animal. They got angry and frustrated. They started to push and shove each other. They did not care about the parade anymore. They only cared about winning a prize. + +The man saw them fighting and said, "Stop, stop, you are not being fair. You are not being good friends. You are being greedy and selfish. You do not deserve a prize. The animal is an elephant. It is a very big and smart animal. It can remember its friends and be kind to them. You should learn from the elephant and be nice to each other." + +Tom and Sam felt ashamed. They realized they had been wrong. They said sorry to the man and to each other. They hugged and made up. They decided to share their toys and enjoy the parade together. They learned that being fair and friendly is more important than having more things. They thanked the man and the elephant and waved goodbye. They had a happy day. +Lily liked to play with her club. It was a big stick that she found in the park. She used it to hit rocks and make noise. She felt strong and happy with her club. + +One day, she saw a boy with a club too. His club was smaller and had a ball on the end. He was swinging it at a small white ball on the grass. Lily wanted to try his club. She ran to him and said, "Give me your club!" + +The boy was scared and angry. He said, "No, this is my club! Go away!" He tried to hold on to his club, but Lily was stronger. She pulled it from his hands and swung it at the white ball. She missed and hit the boy's leg. He cried out in pain and fell down. + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to hurt the boy. She said, "Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to play." She gave him back his club and helped him up. She said, "Can we be friends? Can we play together?" + +The boy was still sad, but he nodded. He said, "OK, but you have to be careful. This is not a regular club. This is a golf club. You have to hit the ball softly, not hard. And you have to take turns. Do you want to learn?" + +Lily nodded too. She said, "Yes, please. I want to learn. I like your club. It is different and fun." She smiled and held out her hand. The boy smiled back and took her hand. They walked to the next hole and started to play. They became friends and shared their clubs. +Sara was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new places. She did not like to sit still and play with her toys.

They saw the shiny thing in the water. They smiled and shook their heads. + +"That is not a coin, Lila and Ben," Mom said. "That is a bottle cap. Someone threw it in the water. That is not nice. It can hurt the fish and the birds." + +"Oh," Lila and Ben said. They felt sad and angry. They did not like people who threw trash in the water. They wanted to keep the lake clean and beautiful. + +"Can we take it out, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, you can," Mom said. "But you need to be careful. The bottle cap might be sharp and cut your fingers. And the water might be cold and bitter. Do you still want to do it?" + +Lila and Ben nodded. They wanted to do something good for the lake.

"It is perfect. Let's share it." + +"OK, but we have to be quick," Tom said. "Or it will rot and become yucky." + +They ran to the bench and took a big bite of the apple. It was sweet and juicy and made them happy. They smiled at each other and ate some more. + +"Where do you think this apple came from?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe from another country. A country with many apple trees and nice people." + +"That sounds nice," Lily said. "I wish we could go there and see it." + +"Maybe we can, someday," Tom said.

"Can we touch them?" + +"No, we can't!" Ben said, shaking his head. "They are wild animals. They might bite us. And their mommy might come back and get angry." + +"But they look so soft and warm!" Anna said, reaching out her hand. + +"Stop, Anna!" Ben said, grabbing her hand. "Don't touch them! We have to leave them alone. They belong to the tree, not to us." + +Anna looked at Ben and then at the squirrels. She realized that he was right. They were not toys, they were living creatures. They had a home and a family.

She was proud of her art and wanted to show it to everyone. + +One day, she saw some sunshine coming through the window. She thought it would make her drawings look even more beautiful. She ran to the window and opened it wide. She felt the warm air and the light on her face. + +She grabbed some of her drawings and held them out of the window. She wanted the sunshine to touch them too. She smiled and waved them in the air. + +But then, a strong wind came and blew her drawings away.

Zee smiled and thanked them. He said he would always be their friend and remember them too. He waved goodbye and went back to his page. Tom and Lily waved back and closed the book. They felt happy and proud. They had met a giant number and had an amazing adventure. +Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going on a holiday with Mum and Dad. They packed their bags with clothes, toys and books. They put on their hats and coats and got in the car. + +The car drove for a long time. Lily and Tom looked out of the window and saw many things. They saw cows, sheep, trees and houses. They sang songs and played games. They asked Mum and Dad, "Are we there yet?" + +At last, they arrived at the holiday house. It was big and white and had a garden. Lily and Tom jumped out of the car and ran to the door. Mum and Dad opened the door and showed them inside. There were two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. Lily and Tom chose their bedroom. It had two beds, a table, a chair and a lamp. On the wall, there was a picture of a purple dragon. + +Lily and Tom loved the picture. They pretended they were knights and princesses. They took their toys and books and made a castle on the bed. They said, "This is our holiday adventure. We will protect the purple dragon from the bad guys." + +They played for a long time. They had fun and laughed. They jumped on the bed and made noises. They did not hear Mum and Dad calling them for dinner. They only heard the purple dragon saying, "Thank you for being my friends." +Tom and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big bowl of dough, some cheese, some sauce and some salt. + +"Let's make pizza!" Tom said. He rolled the dough flat and put some sauce on it. "Now we need cheese," he said. + +Mia nodded. She took a handful of cheese and sprinkled it on the sauce. "And some salt," she said. She reached for the salt shaker and shook it hard. + +But the lid was loose and all the salt came out. The pizza was covered with white grains. Mia gasped. "Oh no!" she said. + +Tom looked at the pizza and frowned. He was angry. He wanted a good pizza, not a salty one. He blamed Mia for ruining it. He slapped her hand and said, "You are bad! You spoiled the pizza!" + +Mia felt a sting on her hand and tears in her eyes. She was sad and hurt. She didn't mean to spill the salt. She slapped Tom back and said, "You are mean! You hurt me!" + +They both started to cry and shout. They forgot they were playing and they were friends. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the crying children. She was not happy. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? And what did you do to the pizza?" + +Tom and Mia stopped crying and looked at Mom. They felt ashamed and embarrassed. They knew they did something wrong. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing and we spilled the salt and we slapped each other." + +Mom sighed. She said, "That was not nice. You should not slap each other. You should say sorry and hug. And you should not waste food. You should be careful and respectful." + +Tom and Mia nodded. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said sorry to Mom and helped her clean the kitchen. They learned their lesson. They decided to play something else. They didn't want to make pizza anymore. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, Tom saw Lily's new doll. It had long hair, a pretty dress and shiny shoes. Tom thought the doll was impressive. He wanted to play with it too. + +"Can I borrow your doll?" Tom asked Lily. + +"Okay, but be careful. She is my favorite doll," Lily said. She gave Tom the doll and went to get some juice. + +Tom took the doll and ran to his room. He did not want to share it with Lily. He combed the doll's hair, changed her dress and put on her shoes. He thought the doll looked better with his things. + +Lily came back and knocked on Tom's door. "Tom, can I have my doll back? It is time to go home," she said. + +Tom did not want to give the doll back. He hid the doll under his bed and said, "I don't have your doll. I don't know where it is." + +Lily was sad and angry. She knew Tom was lying. She went to Tom's mom and told her what happened. Tom's mom was not happy. She went to Tom's room and found the doll under his bed. She took the doll and gave it back to Lily. + +"Tom, you are very naughty. You should not borrow things without asking and lie about it. You have to say sorry to Lily and give her back her things," Tom's mom said. + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He said sorry to Lily and gave her back her things. But Lily was still hurt. She did not want to be friends with Tom anymore. She took her doll and went home. Tom was left alone with no doll and no friend. He wished he had not borrowed the doll. He learned a hard lesson. +Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big peach tree with many ripe peaches. They wanted to pick some and eat them, but their mom said no. She said the peaches belonged to their neighbor, Mr. Lee, and they had to ask him first. + +Tom and Sue did not listen to their mom. They waited until she was busy and ran to the peach tree. They picked as many peaches as they could and hid them in their basket. They ran back to their garden and ate some of the peaches. They were sweet and juicy, and they felt very jolly. + +But soon, they felt sick. Their tummies hurt and they felt thirsty. They drank some water, but it did not help. They felt sorry for what they did and wished they had listened to their mom. They decided to tell her the truth and say sorry to Mr. Lee. + +Their mom was not happy when she heard what they did. She said they were naughty and greedy, and they had to learn to respect other people's things. She said they had to take the rest of the peaches back to Mr. Lee and apologize to him. She also said they had to rest in their bed until they felt better. + +Tom and Sue did as their mom said. They carried the basket of peaches to Mr. Lee's house and knocked on his door. Mr. Lee was surprised to see them, but he smiled when they gave him the peaches and said sorry. He said he was glad they were honest and brave, and he forgave them. He also gave them some honey and lemon to soothe their throats. He said he hoped they would feel better soon and invited them to come back when the peaches were ready to share. + +Tom and Sue thanked Mr. Lee and went back to their mom. They hugged her and said sorry again. They said they learned their lesson and they would never take things that were not theirs. They drank the honey and lemon and went to their bed. They felt less sick and more jolly. They dreamed of playing in the garden with Mr. Lee and his peaches. +Tim likes to write. He writes on paper, on walls, on books. He writes his name, his numbers, his shapes. He writes with crayons, with pencils, with markers. He writes every day. + +One day, Tim finds a big wheel in the yard. It is round and shiny and has spokes. He thinks it is a regular wheel, like the ones on his bike. He wants to write on it. He gets a marker and goes to the wheel. + +"Hi, wheel," he says. "Can I write on you?" + +The wheel does not answer. It is not a regular wheel. It is a magic wheel. It can talk, but only when it wants to. + +Tim does not wait for an answer. He starts to write on the wheel. He writes his name, his numbers, his shapes. He writes with red, with blue, with green. He writes all over the wheel. + +The wheel does not like it. It feels ticklish and annoyed. It decides to teach Tim a lesson. It starts to spin. It spins faster and faster. It makes a loud noise. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Tim cries. "You are making me dizzy!" + +The wheel does not stop. It spins and spins and spins. It says, "You should not write on me. I am not a regular wheel. I am a magic wheel. I can do what I want." + +Tim is scared. He drops the marker. He runs away from the wheel. He goes to his mom. + +"Mom, mom, mom!" he says. "There is a magic wheel in the yard. It can talk and spin. It is angry at me. I wrote on it. I am sorry." + +Mom looks at Tim. She sees his face is pale and his clothes are dirty. She hugs him and says, "It's okay, Tim. You did not know. You like to write. But you should not write on things that are not yours. You should ask first. Come, let's go and see the wheel. Maybe we can make it happy again." + +Tim and Mom go to the yard. They see the wheel. It is still spinning and making noise. They say, "Hello, wheel. We are sorry. We did not mean to upset you. Can you please stop spinning and talk to us?" + +The wheel hears them. It slows down and stops. It says, "Hello, Tim. Hello, Mom. I am sorry, too. I was rude and mean. I did not like it when you wrote on me. But I should not have scared you. You are a good boy. You like to write. That is nice. But you should write on paper, on walls, on books. Not on wheels. Wheels are for rolling, not for writing." + +Tim nods. He says, "I understand, wheel. I will not write on you again. I will write on other things. Can we be friends?" + +The wheel smiles. It says, "Yes, Tim. We can be friends. You can play with me. You can roll me, spin me, ride me. But please, do not write on me." + +Tim and Mom smile, too. They say, "Thank you, wheel. You are a regular wheel, after all. A regular, magic, friendly wheel." + +They hug the wheel. They play with the wheel. They have fun with the wheel. Tim still likes to write. But he does not write on the wheel. He writes on paper, on walls, on books. He writes his name, his numbers, his shapes. He writes with crayons, with pencils, with markers. He writes every day. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they find a big case in the park. They open the case and see many things inside. They see books, clothes, toys and food. + +Tim and Sam are happy. They want to take the things home. But they do not agree on who gets what. Tim wants the books and the toys. Sam wants the clothes and the food. They start to talk loud and angry. + +"Give me the books! They are mine!" Tim says. + +"No, they are mine! Give me the food! You have the toys!" Sam says. + +They pull and push the things. They do not share. They do not listen. They do not have fun. + +Then, they smell something bad. They look at the food. The food is old and rotten. It has bugs and mold. It is disgusting. Tim and Sam feel sick. They drop the food and run away. + +They leave the case and the things in the park. They do not want them anymore. They are sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They go home and play with their own cars and blocks. They are friends again. They learn to share and listen. They have fun. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky. They wanted to touch it and see what it felt like. + +They ran towards the rainbow, but it was very far away. They tried to jump and reach it, but they could not. They felt sad and angry. + +Lily had an idea. She said to Max, "Maybe if we pinch each other, we can make the rainbow come closer." Max agreed and they started to pinch each other hard. + +They pinched each other's arms, legs, cheeks and ears. They hoped the rainbow would see them and come down. But the rainbow did not move. It only shone brightly in the sky. + +Lily and Max felt more sad and angry. They also felt a lot of pain from the pinches. They started to cry and scream. + +Their mom heard them and came outside. She saw them crying and covered in red marks. She asked them what happened. They told her they wanted to touch the rainbow and they pinched each other to make it come closer. + +Their mom hugged them and said, "Oh, my dear children, you don't need to pinch each other to see the rainbow. The rainbow is a gift from God that shows His love and promise. You can see it with your eyes and enjoy it with your heart. But you can't touch it or take it away. It is not yours to have. It is for everyone to share. And you should never hurt each other or anyone else. That is not how you show love or kindness. That is how you make pain and sadness." + +Lily and Max felt sorry and ashamed. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They promised to never pinch each other or anyone else again. They learned that the rainbow is beautiful, but so is love and kindness. They hugged their mom and looked at the rainbow with joy and gratitude. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to dig holes and make mud pies. She liked to smell the flowers and watch the bugs. But she did not like to eat her vegetables. She said they were yucky and green. + +One day, she found a big carrot in the soil. It was orange and crunchy. She wondered how it tasted. She pulled it out and washed it with the hose. She took a bite and smiled. It was tasty and sweet. She liked it a lot. + +She ran to show her mom. "Look, mom, I found a carrot in the garden. It is tasty and sweet. Can I have more?" + +Mom was happy and surprised. She hugged Lily and said, "Of course, you can have more. You can have as many as you want. But you have to share with your brother. He likes carrots too." + +Lily nodded and ran back to the garden. She looked for more carrots in the soil. She found one and gave it to her brother. He took a bite and smiled. He liked it a lot too. + +They chewed and chewed and chewed. They ate all the carrots they could find. They were full and happy. They learned that vegetables were not yucky and green. They were tasty and sweet. And they were good for them. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. One day, they see some big trucks and machines on their street. They are curious and want to see what they are doing. + +"Look, Ben, they are making a new road!" Anna says. + +"Why do they need a new road?" Ben asks. + +"Maybe the old one is broken. Or maybe they want to make it bigger and smoother," Anna guesses. + +They watch the trucks and machines work. They see them dig, pour, flatten and paint the road. They hear them beep, roar, clank and hiss. They smell the dirt, the smoke and the paint. + +"Wow, they are working hard!" Ben says. + +"Yes, they are. They are making our street better and safer," Anna says. + +They wave at the workers and say hello. Some of the workers wave back and smile. They are happy to see the twins. + +"Thank you for your work!" Anna and Ben shout. + +"You're welcome, kids! We're glad you like the new road!" one of the workers shouts back. + +Anna and Ben are grateful for the workers and the new road. They can't wait to ride their bikes on it. They think it will be fun and fast. They go back to their house and tell their mom and dad what they saw. They are excited and proud of their street. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the bath. They had many toys, but their favorite was soap. They liked to make bubbles and shapes with soap. Sometimes they pretended soap was a cake or a hat or a boat. + +One day, they decided to play fierce animals with soap. Lily made a soap lion and Tom made a soap crocodile. They roared and snapped at each other, splashing water everywhere. + +"Rawr! I am the king of the jungle!" Lily said. + +"Snap! I am the strongest in the river!" Tom said. + +They had fun until their soap animals started to melt. Then they got sad. + +"Look, our soap animals are gone!" Lily said. + +"Don't worry, we can make new ones!" Tom said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. Then they reached for more soap and started to play again. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the park. They run, jump, and swing. They are healthy and happy. + +One day, they see a big flag on a pole. The flag is red, white, and blue. It has stars and stripes. Lily and Tom think it is pretty. + +"Look, Tom, a flag!" Lily says. + +"Yes, Lily, a flag. Do you know what it means?" Tom asks. + +Lily shakes her head. She does not know. + +Tom says, "It means we are free. We can play and learn and have fun. We are lucky." + +Lily nods. She likes to be free. + +They run to the flag and touch it. It is soft and smooth. They smile and hug. + +Then they hear a loud noise. It is a plane. The plane flies over the park. It makes a big sound. Lily and Tom are scared. + +They run to a bench and lay down. They cover their ears. They hope the plane will go away. + +After a while, the noise stops. They look up. The plane is gone. The flag is still there. It waves in the wind. + +Lily and Tom feel better. They stand up and hold hands. + +They say, "We love the flag. We love our country. We love each other." + +They go back to play. They are healthy and happy. +Ben is a boy who likes to learn new things. He likes to learn how to read, how to draw, and how to play games. One day, he learns how to make popcorn with his dad. His dad is bald and has a big smile. + +They go to the kitchen and get a big pot and some corn. His dad says, "This is not popcorn yet. It is just corn. But we can make it into popcorn with some heat and oil." He puts some oil in the pot and turns on the stove. He says, "Be careful, Ben. The stove is hot. Do not touch it." + +Then he puts some corn in the pot and covers it with a lid. He says, "Now we have to wait and listen. The corn will start to pop and make a loud noise. That means it is turning into popcorn." Ben listens and hears the corn popping. He says, "Wow, dad. That sounds like fireworks. Can I see?" + +His dad says, "Sure, Ben. But be careful. The pot is hot too. Do not touch it." He lifts the lid a little and shows Ben the popcorn. Ben sees the white and fluffy popcorn jumping in the pot. He says, "Wow, dad. That looks like snow. Can I eat it?" + +His dad says, "Yes, Ben. But first we have to put some salt and butter on it. That will make it taste better." He turns off the stove and pours the popcorn into a big bowl. He adds some salt and butter and mixes it well. He says, "Here you go, Ben. Enjoy your popcorn. You learned how to make it today." + +Ben says, "Thank you, dad. You are the best. I love popcorn. And I love you." He gives his dad a big hug and a kiss. Then they sit on the couch and eat the popcorn together. They watch a funny movie and laugh a lot. Ben is happy. He learned something new and had fun with his dad. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their kites. They liked to watch their kites fly high in the sky. They made their kites go up and down and left and right. + +But then they saw some dark clouds. They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They felt some drops of water. It was rain. + +"Uh-oh, we have to go home," Lily said. "The rain is heavy and the thunder is scary." + +"Yes, let's go," Ben said. "But what about our kites?" + +They looked at their kites. They were still flying in the sky. But the wind was strong and the strings were wet. + +"I can't pull my kite down," Lily said. "It's stuck." + +"Me neither," Ben said. "It's too hard." + +They tried to pull their kites down, but they couldn't. The kites flew higher and higher, until they were out of sight. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They lost their kites. They ran to their mom and dad, who were waiting for them at the car. + +"Mom, Dad, we're sorry," Lily said. "We lost our kites." + +"They flew away," Ben said. "We couldn't get them back." + +Mom and Dad hugged them. They said, "It's okay, don't worry. We know you tried. We can get you new kites later. But now, let's go home and get dry and warm." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They got in the car and drove away. They looked at the sky and hoped their kites were happy. They hoped they would see them again someday. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers and bugs. They smell the herbs. The herbs are green and good. + +One day, Lily and Tom find a new herb. It is purple and fuzzy. They touch it. It feels soft and wet. They wonder what it is. + +"Look, Tom, a new herb!" Lily says. + +"What is it?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe we can ask Mom. She knows a lot of herbs. She can teach us," Lily says. + +They pick some of the purple herb and run to the house. They find Mom in the kitchen. She is making soup. + +"Mom, Mom, look what we found!" Lily and Tom say. + +They show Mom the purple herb. Mom smiles. + +"That is lavender, my dears. It is a very nice herb. It smells good and helps you sleep. You can put some in your pillow or in your bath. Do you want to try?" Mom says. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom say. + +Mom teaches them how to dry the lavender and make sachets. They put some in their pillows and some in their bath. They smell the lavender and feel happy and calm. They thank Mom for teaching them. + +They go to bed and have sweet dreams. They dream of the garden and the herbs. They dream of playing with Lily and Tom. They dream of learning new things. They are happy. +Anna liked to design things. She liked to draw and cut and glue and paint. She made clothes for her dolls, houses for her animals, and cards for her friends. She was very good at design. + +One day, she wanted to design a new bathtub for her bathroom. She thought the old bathtub was ugly. It was white and plain and boring. She wanted a bathtub that was colorful and fun and pretty. She asked her mom for some paper and crayons and scissors and tape. + +She drew a big bathtub on the paper. She made it pink and purple and blue. She cut out some flowers and stars and hearts and stuck them on the bathtub. She also cut out a faucet and a drain and a shower head. She was very proud of her design. + +She showed her mom her design. "Look, mom, I made a new bathtub for us!" she said. "Do you like it?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "I love it, Anna. You are very creative and talented. But you know, we can't really use this bathtub, right? It is only paper. It would get wet and tear and fall apart. We need a real bathtub that is made of metal or plastic or ceramic. Those are strong and durable materials that can hold water and soap and bubbles." + +Anna nodded. She understood. She still liked her design, but she knew it was not a real bathtub. She asked her mom, "Can we hang it on the wall, then? It can be a picture of a bathtub. It can make our bathroom more colorful and fun and pretty." + +Her mom agreed. She helped Anna tape her design on the wall, next to the old bathtub. They both admired it. Anna was happy. She had designed something beautiful. +Anna and Ben are going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They want to see the beach and the animals. But first, they have to sort their toys and clothes. Mom says they can only take some of them. + +Anna likes her dolls and her books. She puts them in a big bag. She also takes her hat and her dress. She thinks they are cute. Ben likes his cars and his ball. He puts them in another bag. He also takes his cap and his shorts. He thinks they are cool. + +Mom and Dad help them sort the rest of the things. They take some snacks and some water. They take some sunscreen and some towels. They take some money and some maps. They put everything in the car. They are ready to go. + +They drive for a long time. They see the trees and the hills. They sing songs and play games. They are very excited. They finally reach the beach. They see the water and the sand. They see the birds and the fish. They are very happy. + +They have a lot of fun on the beach. They swim and splash. They build and dig. They run and jump. They see some cute animals. They see a crab and a starfish. They see a seal and a dolphin. They are very amazed. + +They have a wonderful vacation. They make memories and friends. They learn and explore. They laugh and hug. They are very grateful. They love their family and their vacation. They are very happy. +Lily and Ben were bored. They had nothing to do on a dull day. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They looked at their books, but they did not want to read them. They looked at each other, and they had an idea. + +"Let's act!" Lily said. "We can pretend to be someone else." + +"OK!" Ben said. "Who do you want to be?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked princesses and fairies. She said, "I want to be a fairy princess. I have a magic wand and a crown." + +Ben thought for a moment. He liked pirates and dinosaurs. He said, "I want to be a pirate dinosaur. I have a sword and a tail." + +They ran to their room and put on some costumes. Lily wore a pink dress and a tiara. Ben wore a bandana and a belt. They took some toys to be their props. Lily took a stick to be her wand. Ben took a spatula to be his sword. + +They came back to the living room and started to act. Lily waved her wand and said, "I am the fairy princess of the cake land. I can make any cake I want with my magic." + +Ben swung his spatula and said, "I am the pirate dinosaur of the sea. I can steal any cake I want with my sword." + +They pretended to fight over a pillow that was their cake. They made noises and faces. They had fun. + +Their mom came in and saw them. She smiled and said, "What are you doing, my little actors?" + +"We are acting!" Lily and Ben said. + +"You are very good at acting!" Mom said. "But do you know what is better than acting?" + +"What?" Lily and Ben asked. + +"Eating!" Mom said. "I made a real cake for you. Come and have some." + +Lily and Ben dropped their toys and ran to the kitchen. They saw a big chocolate cake on the table. They clapped and cheered. + +"Yay! Cake!" Lily and Ben said. + +They ate some cake and thanked their mom. They were not bored anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Ben like to play with paint. They have many colors of paint in their room. They use brushes and paper to make pictures. Sometimes they paint flowers, animals, or cars. Sometimes they paint whatever they want. + +One day, Lily and Ben hear a knock on the door. They run to see who it is. It is the mailman. He has a big box for them. He says he is here to deliver a gift from their grandma. He gives them the box and says bye. + +Lily and Ben are very happy. They open the box and see what is inside. It is a big paint set. It has many more colors of paint than they have. It also has a big canvas, a wooden frame, and an easel. It is like a real artist's paint set. + +Lily and Ben thank their grandma in their minds. They want to use the paint set right away. They set up the easel in the backyard. They choose a color to start with. It is a deep blue. It looks like the sky or the sea. They dip their brushes in the paint and start to make a picture on the canvas. They have so much fun with the new paint set. They make a beautiful picture together. They can't wait to show their grandma what they made. +Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. Mom said they could have some ice cream if they were good. + +Tom and Lily were very happy. They ran to the truck and waited in line. Mom gave them some money and they chose their flavors. Tom wanted chocolate and Lily wanted strawberry. The man in the truck gave them each a cone with a scoop of ice cream on top. + +"Thank you, Mom!" they said. They licked their ice cream and smiled. + +"Be careful, don't bite the cone!" Mom said. "It might hurt your teeth." + +Tom nodded. He liked the cone, but he liked the ice cream more. He licked and licked until there was no more ice cream. + +Lily did not listen to Mom. She wanted to bite the cone. She thought it would be crunchy and yummy. She bit the cone hard and made a loud noise. + +"Ow!" she cried. She dropped the cone and held her mouth. She felt something hard and sharp in her tongue. It was a piece of the cone. It had cut her tongue and made it bleed. + +Mom ran to Lily and hugged her. She took a napkin and wiped her mouth. She said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. You should have listened to me. Biting the cone was not a good idea. It hurt you." + +Lily sobbed. She was sorry too. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't bite the cone again. I just wanted to try it." + +Mom kissed her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you were curious. But sometimes you have to be careful and follow the rules. They are there to keep you safe and happy." + +Tom came to Lily and gave her his cone. He said, "Here, Lily. You can have mine. I'm done with it. I don't want you to be sad." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I love you." + +Tom said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love ice cream. But not as much as you." + +They hugged and shared the cone. Mom smiled and said, "That's very nice of you, Tom. You are a good sharer. I'm proud of you both. Are you ready to go home?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were ready. They had had enough ice cream for today. They held Mom's hand and walked to the car. They were happy. They had learned a lesson. And they still had each other. +Sara and Ben love to play theater. They have a big box with many clothes and hats and masks. They like to dress up and pretend to be different people. Sometimes they are pirates, sometimes they are princesses, sometimes they are animals. + +One day, they decide to make a show for their mom and dad. They pick their favorite clothes and hats and masks. They make a stage with a curtain and some chairs. They make a sign that says "Sara and Ben's Theater". They are very excited. + +They call their mom and dad to come and watch. Mom and dad sit on the chairs and clap their hands. Sara and Ben go behind the curtain and whisper to each other. They want to make a long show with many parts. + +They start the show with a song. Sara is a fairy and Ben is a dragon. They sing about how they are friends and how they like to fly and play. Mom and dad smile and clap some more. + +Then they change their clothes and hats and masks. They start the next part of the show. Sara is a doctor and Ben is a patient. They act out how Sara helps Ben feel better when he has a tummy ache. Mom and dad laugh and clap some more. + +They change their clothes and hats and masks again. They start the last part of the show. Sara is a teacher and Ben is a student. They pretend to read and write and count and draw. Mom and dad nod and clap some more. + +They finish the show with a bow. They say "Thank you for watching our theater!" Mom and dad stand up and cheer. They hug Sara and Ben and tell them how proud they are. Sara and Ben are very happy. They love to play theater. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park.
