+Ben says, "Yes, I do. I like hamsters. They are cute and soft."
+
+Lily opens the box and takes out Fuzz. She holds him in her hands and shows him to Ben. But Fuzz is scared. He bites Lily's finger and runs away.
+
+Lily says, "Ow! Fuzz, come back!" She drops the box and chases Fuzz.
+
+Ben says, "Oh no! Fuzz, don't run away! Come here, Fuzz!"
+
+But Fuzz is fast. He runs under the sofa and hides. Lily and Ben try to get him out, but they can't. They are sad and worried.
+
+Lily says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I wanted to show you my pet, but he ran away. He doesn't like me. He is a bad hamster."
+
+Ben says, "No, Lily. He is not a bad hamster. He is just scared. He doesn't know me or this place. He needs time to get used to it. He still likes you. You are his friend."
+
+Lily says, "Really? Do you think so?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, I do. Don't be ashamed, Lily. It's not your fault. Let's try to make Fuzz feel safe and happy. Maybe we can give him some seeds and a toy. Maybe he will come out and play with us."
+
+Lily says, "OK, Ben. Thank you. You are a good friend."
+
+Ben says, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a good friend, too. And Fuzz is a good pet. He is just shy. Come on, let's find him some seeds and a toy."
+Lily loved to bake with her mom. They would make cookies, cakes, and pies. Lily liked to stir, pour, and decorate. Mom liked to teach, measure, and taste.
+
+One day, they baked a big cake for Lily's dad. It was his birthday. They put chocolate and cherries on the cake. Lily wrote "Happy Birthday" with icing. She was very gifted at writing.
+
+They hid the cake in the bookcase. It was a surprise. They waited for dad to come home. Lily was excited.
+
+When dad came home, he hugged Lily and mom. He smelled something good. He looked around.
+
+"Is there something in the bookcase?" he asked.
+
+Lily and mom smiled. They opened the bookcase and showed him the cake.
+
+"Wow, what a beautiful cake!" dad said. "Did you bake it for me?"
+
+"Yes, we did!" Lily and mom said. "Happy birthday, dad!"
+
+They gave him a big kiss. Then they cut the cake and ate it. It was delicious. Dad was very happy. He thanked Lily and mom for the best gift ever.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they see a big jar of sugar on the counter. They wonder what it tastes like.
+
+"Let's try some sugar," Ben says. He climbs on a chair and opens the jar. He takes a big spoon and fills it with sugar. He puts it in his mouth.
+
+"Wow, it's so sweet!" he says. He makes a funny face. "Do you want some, Anna?"
+
+Anna nods. She climbs on another chair and takes another spoon. She scoops some sugar and puts it in her mouth.
+
+"Yum, it's so good!" she says. She smiles. "Let's have more, Ben!"
+
+They eat more and more sugar. They feel very happy and excited. They start to run around the kitchen. They make loud noises. They knock over some pots and pans.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" their mom says. She comes into the kitchen. She sees the mess. She sees the sugar on their faces. She is not happy.
+
+"Anna and Ben, you are very silly!" she says. "You can't eat so much sugar. It's bad for you. It will make you sick. And you can't make such a mess. You have to clean up."
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to their mom. They help her clean up the kitchen. They promise not to eat so much sugar again. They hug their mom. She hugs them back. She loves them even when they are silly.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their toys. But today, the sky is gray and there is rain. Rain makes everything wet and muddy. Anna and Ben do not like rain.
+
+They ask their mom if they can go outside. Mom says no, it is too cold and wet. They ask their dad if they can watch TV. Dad says no, it is too loud and boring. They ask their big sister if they can play with her. She says no, she is busy with her homework.
+
+Anna and Ben do not know what to do. They look at each other and shrug. Shrug means they lift their shoulders and make a face. It means they do not care or they do not know.
+
+They decide to go to their room and read some books. They have many books with pictures and words. They like to look at the pictures and make up stories. They read about animals and cars and princesses and pirates. They read until they feel sleepy. Sleepy means they want to close their eyes and rest.
+
+They put their books away and climb into their beds. They cuddle with their blankets and teddy bears. They say good night to each other and fall asleep. They dream about playing outside when the rain stops. They are happy and cozy. They do not mind the rain anymore.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of cars and trucks. They are very happy.
+
+"Look, I have a red fire truck!" Tim says.
+
+"I have a blue police car!" Sam says.

+They make noises and zoom around the floor. They have fun.
+
+But then, Tim sees a yellow digger. He likes it very much. He wants it.
+
+"Give me that digger!" Tim says to Sam.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sam says. He holds it tight.
+
+Tim gets angry. He tries to grab the digger. Sam pulls it back. They fight.
+
+"Let go!" Tim says.
+
+"No, you let go!" Sam says.
+
+Tim gets very angry. He strikes Sam on the arm. Sam cries out. He drops the digger. Tim takes it.
+
+"Ha, now it is mine!" Tim says.
+
+Sam is sad. He rubs his arm. He looks at Tim. He says nothing.
+
+Tim plays with the digger. But he does not feel happy. He feels sorry. He hurt his friend. He does not want to fight.
+
+He looks at Sam. He sees his tears. He feels very sorry.
+
+He puts down the digger. He walks to Sam. He says:
+
+"I am sorry, Sam. I was bad. I should not strike you. You can have the digger. I have the fire truck. We can share."
+
+Sam looks at Tim. He sees his sorry face. He smiles. He says:
+
+"Thank you, Tim. I am sorry, too. I should not be mean. You can have the digger. I have the police car. We can share."
+
+They hug. They are friends again. They play with the cars and trucks. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box under a tree. It has a lock on it. Lila and Tom want to open the box. They think it has a secret inside.
+
+They look for a key, but they cannot find one. They try to pull the lock, but it is too strong. They try to shake the box, but it is too heavy. They try to twist the lock, but it is too tight. They are sad. They want to see the secret.
+
+Then, they see a man walking to the box. He has a key in his hand. He looks different. He has a big hat, a long coat, and a mask. He does not see Lila and Tom. He opens the box. He takes out a bag. He puts the bag in his coat. He closes the box. He walks away.
+
+Lila and Tom are curious. They want to know what is in the bag. They follow the man. They are quiet. They do not want him to hear them. They follow him to a dark alley. They see him open the bag. They see something shiny. They see something red. They see something scary.
+
+The man has a gun. The man has a knife. The man has a mask. The man is a robber. He stole the things from the box. He sees Lila and Tom. He is angry. He points the gun at them. He says, "You should not have followed me. You should not have seen my secret. Now, you will pay."
+
+Lila and Tom are scared. They scream. They run. But it is too late. The man shoots. The man stabs. The man laughs. Lila and Tom fall. They bleed. They cry. They die.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box under a tree. It has a bow on it. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Maybe it is a surprise for us," Lily says.
+
+"Maybe it is a toy or a cake," Ben says.
+
+They run to the box and try to open it. But it is locked. They pull and push, but nothing happens.
+
+"Who put this here?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says.
+
+They are sad and angry. They want to see the surprise.
+
+Then, they hear a voice behind them.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you like my box?"
+
+They turn around and see a man. He has a big smile and a key in his hand.
+
+"Who are you?" Ben asks.
+
+"I am a magician," the man says. "I came to the park to do some tricks. This box is part of my show. Do you want to see what is inside?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are curious and excited.
+
+The man unlocks the box and opens it. Inside, there are many colorful balloons, confetti, and a small rabbit.
+
+"Wow!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+The man picks up the rabbit and gives it to Lily. She hugs it and smiles.
+
+"This is for you, Lily. You are a lucky girl," the man says.
+
+He gives Ben a balloon and some confetti.
+
+"This is for you, Ben. You are a lucky boy," the man says.
+
+Lily and Ben thank the man. They are happy and surprised.
+
+They play with the rabbit, the balloon, and the confetti. They forget about being sad and angry.
+
+They have fun with the magician and his box.
+Lily and Sam went on a safari with their mom and dad. They saw many big animals, like lions, elephants, and giraffes. Lily liked the giraffes best. They had long necks and spots. Sam liked the lions best. They had big teeth and roars.
+
+"Look, Lily, a lion!" Sam said, pointing at a big cat lying under a tree.
+
+"Wow, he is so big and strong!" Lily said. "But he looks sleepy."
+
+"That's because he ate a lot of meat," Sam said. "He likes to chew on bones and skin."
+
+"Yuck, that sounds gross," Lily said. "I like to chew on carrots and apples. They are crunchy and sweet."
+
+They drove on and saw more animals. They saw zebras, monkeys, and hippos. They also saw a big lake with clear water. They could see fish and crocodiles in the water.
+
+"Can we go swimming, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, it's too dangerous," mom said. "The crocodiles might bite you."
+
+"But they look so friendly," Lily said.
+
+"They are not friendly, Lily, they are hungry," dad said. "They like to chew on anything that moves."
+
+"Even us?" Lily asked.
+
+"Especially us," dad said.
+
+Lily and Sam decided they did not want to swim. They were happy to watch the animals from the car. They had a lot of fun on their safari. They learned a lot of new things. They also learned to chew on their own food, and not on other animals.
+Tim is a big boy. He goes to school with his friends. He likes to play and learn new things. But today he is not happy. He has a test. A test is when the teacher asks you questions and you have to write the answers. Tim thinks tests are hard. He does not like them.
+
+Tim sits at his desk. He looks at the test. He does not know the answers. He feels sad and scared. He wishes he could play instead. He looks around. He sees a sack. A sack is a big bag that you can put things in. The sack is near the door. It has toys and books in it. Tim has an idea.
+
+Tim gets up. He walks to the door. He takes the sack. He puts the test in the sack. He hides the sack under his coat. He hopes the teacher does not see. He goes back to his desk. He smiles. He thinks he is clever. He thinks he does not have to do the test.
+
+But the teacher sees. She sees the sack under Tim's coat. She sees the test in the sack. She is angry. She takes the sack and the test from Tim. She tells Tim he is naughty. She tells Tim he has to do the test. She tells Tim he has to stay after school. Tim cries. He is sorry. He knows he did a bad thing. He wishes he did not take the sack. He wishes he tried to do the test. He learns a lesson. He learns that tests are hard, but cheating is worse.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they go to a fair with their moms. The fair has many games and rides. Lily and Tom want to try them all.
+
+They see a game with many balls and a big basket. The man says, "If you throw a ball in the basket, you win a prize. You can choose a teddy bear, a doll, or a car." Lily and Tom want to play. They each get three balls.
+
+Lily throws her first ball. It misses the basket. She throws her second ball. It misses again. She throws her third ball. It goes in the basket. She is happy. She says, "I win! I win! I want the teddy bear, please."
+
+The man gives her the teddy bear. It is soft and brown. Lily hugs it. She says, "Look, Tom, I have a teddy bear. It is so cute. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom looks at the teddy bear. He feels jealous. He wants a teddy bear too. He says, "I don't like it. It is ugly. I want a car. I hope I win a car."
+
+He throws his first ball. It misses the basket. He throws his second ball. It misses too. He throws his third ball. It hits the basket, but it bounces out. He is sad. He says, "I lose. I lose. I have no prize."
+
+The man says, "I'm sorry, Tom. You can try again next time. Here, have a sticker. It has a car on it."
+
+Tom takes the sticker. He looks at it. He says, "Thank you, but it is not the same. I want a real car."
+
+Lily sees Tom is sad. She feels sorry for him. She says, "Tom, don't be sad. You can play with my teddy bear. We can share. We are friends."
+
+Tom looks at Lily. He sees she is nice. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I was jealous. Can I hug your teddy bear?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, you can. Here, you can hold it. It is soft and warm."
+
+Tom hugs the teddy bear. He smiles. He says, "It is nice. I like it. Maybe next time I will win a prize too."
+
+Lily says, "Maybe you will. But it doesn't matter. We have fun anyway. We have each other."
+
+They hug each other. They are happy. They go to see the other games and rides. They have a good day at the fair.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with paint and paper. They make many colors and shapes on the paper. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big box in the yard. It is a zoom box. It can take them to different places. They want to try it.
+
+They go inside the box and push a button. The box makes a loud noise and shakes. Then it stops. They open the door and look outside.
+
+They are in a weird place. There are big trees and flowers. There are animals they do not know. They see a monkey with a long tail. It swings from a vine and makes a funny sound.
+
+"Hello, monkey!" Lily says. "Do you want to paint with us?"
+
+The monkey nods and comes closer. It takes a brush and dips it in the paint. It paints a banana on the paper. It smiles and peels the banana.
+
+"Wow, you are good at painting!" Ben says. "Can we paint with you?"
+
+The monkey nods and shares the paint and paper. They paint together and have fun. They make new friends in the zoom box.
+Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big, yellow butterfly. It is flying over the flowers. Tom and Mia want to see it better. They run after the butterfly.
+
+The butterfly lands on a tree. Tom and Mia stop and look. The tree has rough bark. It is brown and hard. Tom points to the butterfly. He says, "Look, Mia, look! The butterfly is on the tree!"
+
+Mia nods and smiles. She points to the butterfly too. She says, "Yes, Tom, yes! The butterfly is so pretty! It has yellow wings and black spots!"
+
+The butterfly hears them. It flaps its wings and flies away. Tom and Mia are sad. They want the butterfly to stay. They follow the butterfly with their eyes. They hope it will come back.
+
+The butterfly flies over the pond. It sees another butterfly. It is blue and white. The two butterflies fly together. They are happy. They make a rainbow in the sky.
+
+Tom and Mia see the rainbow. They clap their hands and laugh. They are happy too. They say, "Bye, bye, butterfly! Have fun with your friend!" They wave to the butterflies. They go back to playing in the park.
+Tommy loved his guitar. He got it from his grandpa, who played songs for him. The guitar was fragile. It had a crack on the side and some strings were loose. But Tommy did not care. He liked to strum it and sing along.
+
+One day, Tommy went to the park with his mom. He brought his guitar with him. He wanted to show it to his friends. He saw Lily and Ben on the swings. He ran to them and said, "Look at my guitar! It is very cool!"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the guitar. They did not think it was cool. They thought it was old and broken. They laughed at Tommy and said, "That is not a guitar! That is a piece of junk! You should throw it away!"
+
+Tommy felt sad and angry. He did not like that they made fun of his guitar. He said, "No! It is not junk! It is my guitar and I love it! It is special to me!"
+
+He turned around and ran away. He did not want to play with them anymore. He found a bench and sat down. He hugged his guitar and cried.
+
+His mom saw him and came to him. She asked, "What is wrong, Tommy? Why are you crying?"
+
+Tommy told her what happened. He said, "Lily and Ben laughed at my guitar. They said it was junk. But it is not junk. It is my guitar and I love it!"
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "I know, Tommy. I know you love your guitar. And I love you. It does not matter what they say. Your guitar is not junk. It is a treasure. It is a gift from your grandpa, who loves you too. He gave it to you because he wanted you to enjoy music and be happy. You should be proud of your guitar and yourself. You have a good heart and a good ear. You can play beautiful songs with your guitar. And you can make others happy too."
+
+Tommy smiled and wiped his tears. He said, "Thank you, mom. You are right. I am proud of my guitar and myself. I do not care what they say. I will play my guitar and be happy. And I will share my music with others who appreciate it."
+
+He hugged his mom and his guitar. He felt better. He decided to play a song for his mom. He strummed his guitar and sang, "I love you, mom. You are the best. You always make me feel blessed."
+
+His mom smiled and clapped. She said, "I love you too, Tommy. You are the best. You always make me feel proud."
+
+They hugged and kissed. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They learned that love is more important than looks. And that music is more powerful than words.
+Timmy was very excite to see his aunt. She came to visit him and his mom for the weekend. She always brought him fun toys and books to play with. She also told him funny stories and jokes.
+
+"Hi, Timmy!" his aunt said, as she hugged him. "How are you, my little monkey?"
+
+"I'm good, auntie!" Timmy said, smiling. "I missed you a lot!"
+
+"I missed you too, sweetie!" his aunt said. "Do you want to see what I brought you?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Timmy said, clapping his hands.
+
+His aunt opened her big bag and took out a stuffed dinosaur, a puzzle, and a coloring book. Timmy's eyes widened. He loved dinosaurs and puzzles and coloring.
+
+"Wow, thank you, auntie!" Timmy said, as he grabbed the dinosaur and hugged it. "This is the best!"
+
+"You're welcome, Timmy!" his aunt said, laughing. "I'm glad you like it. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Timmy said, nodding his head.
+
+They went to Timmy's room and played with the toys and books for a long time. They had so much fun. They made dinosaur noises and solved the puzzle and colored the pictures.
+
+After a while, Timmy's mom called them for lunch. They went to the kitchen and saw a big plate of sandwiches and fruit and cookies.
+
+"Are you hungry, Timmy?" his mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom, I'm very hungry!" Timmy said, licking his lips.
+
+"Me too, Timmy!" his aunt said. "Your mom makes the best sandwiches and cookies!"
+
+They sat down and ate their lunch. They talked and laughed and enjoyed their food. Timmy was very happy. He loved his mom and his aunt. They were the best.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big rock that was shiny and had many colors. Tom wanted to touch the rock, but Lily stopped him.
+
+"No, Tom, you can't touch that rock. It is expensive. Mom said so." Lily said.
+
+"Why is it expensive?" Tom asked.
+
+Lily tried to explain. "Expensive means it costs a lot of money. Money is what you use to buy things. If you touch the rock, you might break it or make it dirty. Then mom will be angry and sad."
+
+Tom did not understand. He liked the rock. He thought it was pretty and fun. He wanted to play with it. He did not care about money.
+
+"But I want to touch it. It is not yours. It is in the park. The park is for everyone." Tom said.
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, Tom, it is not for everyone. It is a special rock. Mom said it is a gem. A gem is a very rare and beautiful rock. Someone put it here to show people. You can look at it, but you can't touch it. It is like a painting or a statue. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded, but he was not happy. He still wanted to touch the rock. He thought Lily was bossy and boring. He wished he had a rock like that to play with. He wondered if he could find one somewhere else. He decided to look for one when Lily was not watching. He hoped mom would not notice. He did not know that touching the rock was a bad idea. He did not know that the rock was not just expensive, but also dangerous. He did not know that the rock had a secret. He did not know that the rock was alive.
+Anna and Ben were playing with paper. They liked to fold it and make different shapes. Anna made a star, Ben made a boat.
+
+"Look at my star, it is so shiny!" Anna said, holding it up.
+
+"My boat is better, it can sail on the water!" Ben said, putting it in a bowl.
+
+They both smiled and showed their paper shapes to Mom.
+
+Mom was proud of them. She said, "You are both very clever and creative. But you should also be humble. Do you know what humble means?"
+
+Anna and Ben shook their heads. They did not know that word.
+
+Mom explained, "Humble means you do not think you are better than others. You are happy with what you have and you share with others. You say thank you and sorry. You are kind and respectful."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They understood.
+
+Mom said, "Do you want a treat for being humble?"
+
+Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please!"
+
+Mom opened the freezer and took out some ice cream. She gave them each a scoop in a cone.
+
+Anna and Ben licked their ice cream and said, "Thank you, Mom!"
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "You are welcome, my humble and sweet children!"
+Tom and Lily are going to the park with Mom. They are very happy. They want to play on the swings and the slide. Mom says they need to put on their coats and shoes first. She gets her purse and keys.
+
+"Wait, Mom, you forget something!" Tom says. He points to the table. There is a thick wallet on the table. It is brown and has a zipper.
+
+"Oh, thank you, Tom. You are very smart. This is my wallet. I need it to buy ice cream for you and Lily." Mom says. She picks up the wallet and puts it in her purse.
+
+"Yay, ice cream!" Lily says. She claps her hands. She likes ice cream very much. She hopes Mom will buy her chocolate ice cream.
+
+They go to the park and have a lot of fun. They play on the swings and the slide. They see some ducks and feed them bread. They run and laugh. Mom buys them ice cream from a truck. Tom and Lily choose their favorite flavors. They lick their ice cream and smile.
+
+"Mom, you are the best. We love you." Tom and Lily say.
+
+"I love you too, my sweeties. And I'm glad you helped me remember my wallet. Otherwise, we would have no ice cream." Mom says. She hugs them and kisses them. They are a happy family.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to run, jump and slide. One day, they see something new in the park. It is long and thin and has scales. It is a snake.
+
+"Look, a snake!" Ben says. He wants to touch it.
+
+"No, Ben, don't touch it!" Anna says. She is scared. "Snakes can bite. They can hurt you."
+
+"But I want to see it. It is cool." Ben says. He moves closer to the snake.
+
+Anna runs to find a grown-up. She sees a man with a hat and a badge. He is a park ranger. He knows about animals.
+
+"Help, help!" Anna says. "There is a snake in the park. My friend wants to touch it. He is in danger."
+
+The park ranger follows Anna to the snake. He sees Ben near the snake. He tells Ben to stop and move away.
+
+"Ben, listen to me. This snake is not a toy. It is a wild animal. It can be angry and scared. It can bite you and make you sick. You have to be careful and respectful. Snakes are important for the park. They eat mice and rats. They help the balance of nature. But they are not for playing." The park ranger says.
+
+Ben listens to the park ranger. He feels sorry and ashamed. He moves away from the snake. He says sorry to the park ranger and to Anna.
+
+"I'm sorry. I didn't know. I was curious. I won't touch snakes again." Ben says.
+
+The park ranger smiles and nods. He thanks Anna for being brave and smart. He tells Ben and Anna to enjoy the park, but to stay away from snakes and other wild animals. He says they can learn more about snakes and animals in books and videos.
+
+Ben and Anna say thank you to the park ranger. They hug each other and say sorry to each other. They decide to play on the swings and the slide. They are happy and safe. They have learned a lesson. They will never forget the snake in the park.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big book with many stories. They open the book and see pictures of animals, people, and places.
+
+"Look, Tom, this is a story about a lion and a mouse," Anna says. "The lion is big and strong, but the mouse is small and fast. The mouse helps the lion when he is in trouble. The lion values the mouse and they become friends."
+
+"I want to read that story," Tom says. He tries to take the book from Anna.
+
+"No, Tom, I saw it first," Anna says. She holds the book tight.
+
+"Give it to me, Anna, it is my turn," Tom says. He pulls the book hard.
+
+"Stop, Tom, you are tearing the book," Anna says. She cries.
+
+They hear a voice from the other room. It is Mom.
+
+"What is going on, Tom and Anna?" Mom asks. She comes to see them.
+
+"Mom, Tom is being mean. He wants to take the book from me," Anna says.
+
+"Mom, Anna is being selfish. She does not want to share the book with me," Tom says.
+
+Mom looks at the book. She sees a big rip on the cover.
+
+"Oh, no, Tom and Anna, this is a very old and special book. It belongs to Grandma. She gave it to me when I was little. She told me many stories from this book. She lives in a distant place now, but I still remember her voice and her smile. This book is very valuable to me. I am very sad that you broke it," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Anna feel sorry. They look at each other.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We were fighting over the book. We wanted to read the stories," Tom says.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to hurt the book. We like the stories too," Anna says.
+
+Mom hugs them.
+
+"I know, Tom and Anna. I know you like stories. Stories are good for you. They teach you many things. They make you laugh and think and dream. But you have to be careful with books. Books are not just paper and ink. They are treasures. They have stories of people who lived before us, who loved and learned and made mistakes and did great things. They have stories of places that are far and different, that we can visit with our imagination. They have stories of animals and plants and stars and magic, that we can wonder and admire. Books are gifts. We have to value them and respect them and share them," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Anna nod.
+
+"Can we fix the book, Mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Can we read the stories, Mom?" Anna asks.
+
+Mom smiles.
+
+"Yes, we can. We can use some tape and glue to mend the rip. We can read the stories together. We can also make our own stories. We can draw and write and tell them to each other. We can make a new book, a book of our stories. Would you like that?" Mom asks.
+
+Tom and Anna smile.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we would like that very much," they say.

+Lily and Ben like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys in their room. They have dolls, cars, blocks, books and more. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a small machine with a red button and a black cord. It is a recorder.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's try it," Ben says.
+
+They press the red button and talk into the machine. They say their names, their ages, their favorite colors and animals. They hear their voices come out of the machine. They laugh and clap.
+
+"This is fun! We can record our voices and listen to them," Lily says.
+
+"Let's record a story. You start," Ben says.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She likes stories. She starts to tell a story about a princess and a dragon. Ben listens and adds some details. They take turns telling the story. They make funny noises and use different voices. They have a lot of fun.
+
+When they finish the story, they press the red button again. They want to hear their story. But something is wrong. The machine does not make any sound. They look at the machine. The black cord is cut. There is a big cut in the cord. They see their cat, Fluffy, sitting on the floor. Fluffy has a soft fur and a sharp teeth. Fluffy looks at them and meows.
+
+"Fluffy! You cut the cord! You broke our toy!" Lily cries.
+
+"Bad cat! Go away!" Ben shouts.
+
+Fluffy runs away. Lily and Ben are sad. They can't hear their story. They can't play with their toy. They hug each other and cry.
+Anna and Ben love to play in the park. They like to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing is the big tube. The tube is like a tunnel, but it is round and colorful. They can crawl inside and pretend they are in a spaceship or a cave.
+
+One day, they find a big balloon near the tube. It is red and shiny, and it has a long string. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to see what the balloon can do. They take turns holding the string and pulling the balloon.
+
+"Look, Ben, the balloon can soar!" Anna says. She pulls the string and the balloon goes up in the air. It looks like a big cherry in the sky.
+
+"Wow, Anna, that is fun!" Ben says. He pulls the string and the balloon comes down. He tries to make it touch the ground, but it bounces back.
+
+They laugh and play with the balloon for a long time. They make the balloon soar high and low, left and right. They have a wild time.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The string gets stuck in the tube. Anna and Ben try to pull it out, but it is too tight. They tug and tug, but the string does not move.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, we are going to lose the balloon!" Anna says. She feels sad and scared.
+
+"Don't worry, Anna, I have an idea!" Ben says. He is brave and smart. He crawls inside the tube and finds the string. He untangles it from the tube and frees the balloon.
+
+"Yay, Ben, you did it!" Anna says. She is happy and proud. She hugs Ben and takes the string.
+
+They run out of the tube and hold the balloon together. They make it soar again and again. They smile and giggle. They are the best friends ever.
+Lily liked to play the piano. She had a big piano in her room. She learned how to make sounds with the keys. Sometimes she made happy sounds, sometimes she made sad sounds, sometimes she made weird sounds.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to make a new sound. She pressed all the keys at once. The piano made a loud noise. Lily was surprised. She pressed all the keys again. The piano made another loud noise. Lily was curious.
+
+She pressed all the keys harder and harder. The piano made louder and louder noises. Lily was excited. She felt the piano shake. She felt the piano lift. She felt the piano soar.
+
+Lily was flying on the piano. She saw the sky, the clouds, the birds. She saw her house, her garden, her mom. She waved to her mom. Her mom waved back. Her mom was scared.
+
+"Lily, come back!" her mom shouted. "The piano is too high!"
+
+Lily heard her mom. She wanted to come back. She stopped pressing the keys. The piano stopped making noises. The piano started to fall.
+
+Lily was scared. She held on to the piano. She closed her eyes. She felt the piano land. She felt the piano break. She opened her eyes. She saw her room, her bed, her toys. She saw her mom. Her mom was crying.
+
+"Lily, are you okay?" her mom asked. She hugged Lily. Lily hugged her mom.
+
+"I'm okay, mom," Lily said. "But the piano is not okay."
+
+"I know, Lily," her mom said. "But I'm glad you're okay. The piano was weird. It should not fly."
+
+Lily nodded. She was glad she was okay too. She liked to play the piano. But she did not like to soar on the piano. She learned her lesson. She never pressed all the keys again.
+Mia and Leo are twins. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. Mia has a big teddy bear that she loves very much. Leo has a small car that he likes to zoom around.
+
+One day, Mia sees Leo playing with her teddy bear. She feels jealous. She wants her teddy bear back. She runs to Leo and grabs the teddy bear from his hands. She squeezes the teddy bear tight and hugs its neck.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Leo says. He is angry. He tries to pull the teddy bear away from Mia. They tug and tug, but neither of them lets go.
+
+"Stop it, both of you!" Mom says. She hears them shouting and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the teddy bear. She is not happy. She takes the teddy bear from them and puts it on the shelf.
+
+"You need to share your toys, Mia and Leo," Mom says. "You have plenty of toys to play with. You don't need to be jealous of each other. You are twins, you should love each other."
+
+Mia and Leo feel sorry. They know Mom is right. They hug each other and say sorry. They decide to play together with the car and the teddy bear. They take turns and have fun. Mom smiles and gives them a kiss.
+Anna was sick. She had a bad cough and a sore throat. Mommy gave her a pill to make her feel better. Anna did not like the pill. It was big and bitter. She made a face and spat it out.
+
+"Anna, you have to take the pill," Mommy said. "It will help you get well soon."
+
+"But I don't want to, Mommy. It's yucky," Anna said.
+
+Mommy sighed. She had an idea. She took Anna to the window and pointed at the sky. "Look, Anna. Do you see the stars? They are so bright and pretty. They are like little sparkles in the night."
+
+Anna gazed at the stars. She liked the stars. They were impressive. She forgot about the pill for a moment. She saw a big star that shone more than the others. She wondered if it was a special star.
+
+"That's the North Star, Anna. It's the brightest star in the sky. It always stays in the same place. It helps people find their way when they are lost or confused," Mommy said.
+
+"Wow, Mommy. That's amazing. Can we go there someday?" Anna asked.
+
+"Maybe, Anna. Maybe. But first, you have to take the pill. It will make you strong and healthy, like the North Star. Then you can go wherever you want," Mommy said.
+
+Anna thought about it. She wanted to be strong and healthy. She wanted to go to the North Star. She looked at the pill. It was still big and bitter. But she decided to try it. She took a sip of water and swallowed the pill. She made a face and coughed. But she did it.
+
+"Good girl, Anna. I'm proud of you. Now, let's go to bed. You need some rest. Maybe you can dream about the stars," Mommy said.
+
+She tucked Anna in and kissed her forehead. She turned off the light and left the room. Anna closed her eyes and smiled. She felt a little better. She hoped to see the North Star again. She fell asleep.

+Max nods. He likes cookies too. He reaches for the cookie, but Lily pulls it away.
+
+"No, Max, this is my cookie!" Lily says. "You can't have it!"
+
+Max is sad. He does not understand why Lily does not share. He thinks Lily is not a good friend. He starts to cry.
+
+Lily hears Max cry. She feels bad. She remembers that Max shared his crackers with her yesterday. She does not want to make Max sad. She wants to be a good friend.
+
+"Lily, why are you not sharing?" Mom asks. She sees Lily and Max. She is worried.
+
+"I don't know, Mom," Lily says. "I like my cookie, but I like Max too."
+
+Mom smiles. She has an idea.
+
+"Lily, you can have your cookie, but you can also share it with Max," Mom says. "That way, you both can have a treat and be happy. Sharing is caring, Lily. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily thinks. She nods. She breaks her cookie in half and gives one half to Max.
+
+"Here, Max, you can have some cookie," Lily says. "I'm sorry I did not share before. Will you be my friend again?"
+
+Max stops crying. He smiles. He takes the cookie and hugs Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Lily, you are a good friend," Max says. "I'm sorry I cried. I like your cookie and I like you too."
+
+Lily and Max eat their cookie together. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She gives them both a kiss and a hug.

+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to the bathroom. She sees the mess and shakes her head. She says, "Tom and Lily, what did you do?" Tom and Lily are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We dropped the shampoo. We were playing king and queen."
+
+Mom is not angry. She smiles and says, "It's okay, my jolly twins. I know you didn't mean to. But next time, be more careful with the shampoo. Now, let's rinse your hair and dry you off."
+
+Tom and Lily nod and hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. And we love the shampoo. Can we use it again?" Mom says, "Yes, you can. But only a little bit." They say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you." They finish their bath and go to bed. They dream of being king and queen in a pink castle.

+
+One day, a big boy comes to the park. He is mean and rude. He wants to swing by himself. He pushes Tom and Lily off the swing. He says they are too small and silly. He swings very high and fast.
+
+Tom and Lily are sad and angry. They want to swing too. They wait for the big boy to stop. But he does not stop. He swings and swings and swings. He does not see the tree on his left.
+
+The big boy swings too high and too fast. He hits the tree with his head. He falls off the swing. He cries and bleeds. He is hurt and scared.
+
+Tom and Lily run to him. They want to help him. But he is too serious. He does not move or talk. He is still. Tom and Lily call for help. They are sorry and scared. They do not like the park anymore.

+
+"Are you ready, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, I am. Are you?" Lily answered.
+
+They went to the start line. There were many kids there. Some were big and some were little. Some looked fast and some looked slow. Tom and Lily felt fearful. They did not know if they could win.
+

+They look for a key. They find a key under a rock. Lily takes the key and puts it in the lock. She turns the key. The gate unlocks. They push the gate. The gate opens wide.
+
+They see a garden. The garden has many flowers and trees. The garden also has a pond. The pond has fish and ducks. Lily and Tom are happy. They run to the pond. They feed the fish and the ducks. They find some bread in a basket. The bread is tasty. They share the bread.

+Sara and Tom are playing in the kitchen. They like to pretend they are chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Sara finds a bag of oats and pours some in a bowl. She adds water and stirs with a spoon.
+
+"Look, Tom, I made oatmeal!" she says. "Do you want some?"
+
+Tom shakes his head. He does not like oatmeal. He thinks it is mushy and bland. He sees a box of cookies on the counter. He wants a cookie instead. He reaches for the box and opens it.
+
+"Hey, these are not real cookies!" he says. "They are fake cookies! They are made of cardboard and paper!"
+
+He is angry and disappointed. He throws the box on the floor. The fake cookies scatter everywhere.
+
+Sara is upset. She likes the fake cookies. She thinks they are fun and colorful. She made them with her mom yesterday. She picks up the box and tries to put the fake cookies back in.
+
+"Stop it, Tom!" she says. "You are ruining my cookies! They are not fake, they are pretend! You are mean and rude!"
+
+She runs to the door and locks it. She does not want Tom to play with her anymore.
+
+Tom is sorry. He did not mean to hurt Sara's feelings. He likes to play with her. He knocks on the door and says,
+
+"Sara, please open the door. I am sorry I threw your cookies. I was just hungry and mad. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Sara hears Tom's voice. She feels sad and lonely. She likes to play with him too. She unlocks the door and opens it. She sees Tom's face. He looks sorry and sad too.
+
+"Okay, Tom, I forgive you," she says. "But you have to be nice to my cookies. They are not real, but they are special to me."
+
+Tom nods and smiles. He hugs Sara and says,
+

+
+The robot cube says, "I can sing, dance, tell jokes, and make puzzles. But I need something from you. I need your cubes. Give me your cubes and I will play with you."
+
+Tom and Mia are surprised. They love their cubes. They do not want to give them away. But they also want to play with the robot cube. They think for a moment.
+
+Tom says, "No, we will not give you our cubes. They are ours. We need them to play. You can play with us, but you cannot have our cubes."
+
+Mia says, "Yes, Tom is right. We like our cubes. They are our friends. You can be our friend too, but you have to share. Sharing is good. Do you want to share?"
+
+The robot cube is angry. It says, "No, I do not want to share. I want your cubes. They are mine. Give them to me or I will not play with you."
+
+Tom and Mia are sad. They say, "No, we will not give you our cubes. You are not nice. You are greedy. You do not know how to play. We do not want to play with you."
+
+They turn away from the robot cube and go back to their cubes. They hug their cubes and say, "We are sorry, cubes. We love you. You are the best."

+The robot cube is lonely. It says, "Wait, wait, come back. I am sorry. I was wrong. I want to play with you. I want to share. Please, please, can we be friends?"
+
+But Tom and Mia do not listen. They ignore the robot cube and play with their cubes. They have a lot of fun.

+Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they did not like the big dog that lived near the park. The big dog was mean and loud. He always barked at them and chased them.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia saw the big dog sleeping under a tree. They wanted to go to the slide, but they were afraid of the big dog. They decided to be brave and sneak past him. They walked very quietly and slowly. They hoped the big dog would not wake up.
+
+But the big dog did wake up. He saw Tom and Mia and started to growl. He jumped up and ran towards them. Tom and Mia were very scared. They ran away as fast as they could. They screamed for help.
+
+"Help! Help! The big dog is coming!"
+
+A man heard them and came out of his house. He was the big dog's owner. He was a humble man who loved animals. He saw Tom and Mia and the big dog. He called the big dog's name.
+
+"Rex! Rex! Stop! Come here!"
+
+The big dog heard his owner and stopped. He turned around and ran back to him. The man hugged the big dog and said sorry to Tom and Mia.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. Rex is not mean, he is just playful. He likes to chase things, but he doesn't want to hurt you. He is a good dog, but he needs to learn some manners. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+Tom and Mia were still trembling. They did not want to pet the big dog. They said no thank you and ran to the slide. They were glad the man was nice and the big dog was gone.
+
+They looked at the sun and smiled. They were safe and happy. They played on the slide until it was time to go home. They agreed to never go near the big dog again. They were best friends.
+Anna was sick. She felt hot and tired. She did not want to play with her toys or watch TV. She wanted to sleep.
+
+Mom came to check on her. Mom had a thermometer. She put it in Anna's mouth and waited. The thermometer beeped. Mom looked at the number. It was high. Mom frowned.
+
+Mom said, "You have a fever, Anna. You need to drink some water and take some medicine. I will prepare some soup for you later."
+
+Anna did not like medicine. It tasted bad. She did not want to drink water or eat soup. She wanted to sleep.
+
+She said, "No, Mom. I don't want anything. I just want to sleep."
+
+Mom said, "I know, Anna. But you have to take care of yourself. The medicine will help you feel better. The water will keep you hydrated. The soup will give you energy. You have to trust me, Anna. I am your mom. I am dependable. I love you."
+
+Anna looked at Mom. She saw Mom's eyes. They were kind and worried. She saw Mom's smile. It was gentle and warm. She felt Mom's hand. It was soft and comforting.

+
+"Vroom, vroom, I am a car!" Ben says.
+
+"Roar, roar, I am a lion!" Sara says.
+
+They make sounds for a long time. But then their mom comes in. She looks at them and smiles.
+
+"What are you doing, my little ones?" she asks.
+
+"We are making sounds, mom!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+"That's very creative, but it's also very noisy. Can you please quit making sounds for a while? It's time for a snack and a nap. You need to rest your voices and your ears."
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They like making sounds, but they also like snacks and naps. They nod and say, "OK, mom, we will quit making sounds. But can we make sounds again later?"
+
+"Of course, you can, my sweeties. But only when it's not too loud or too late. Now, come on, let's go to the kitchen. I have some cookies and milk for you."
+
+Sara and Ben follow their mom. They put away their toys and wash their hands. They eat their cookies and drink their milk. They hug their mom and say, "Thank you, mom, you are the best!"

+
+They run back to their yard. They hug each other. They are safe.
+
+"Sorry, Jen, I just wanted to see the ice cream." Tom says.
+
+"It's okay, Tom, I know. But we have to be careful. The truck is not for us. It is for the driver. He has to speed to deliver the ice cream." Jen says.
+
+They nod. They understand. They go back to play in the snow. They forget about the truck. They have fun.
+Tim and Jen are brother and sister. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. One day, they find a thick book on the shelf. It has a picture of a castle on the cover. They want to read the book.
+
+"Let's read this story," Tim says. "It looks fun."
+
+"OK," Jen says. "But we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad are working."
+
+They open the book and start to read. The story is about a prince and a princess who live in the castle. They have many adventures and friends. Tim and Jen like the story. They forget about the time.
+
+They do not hear Mom and Dad calling them for lunch. They do not hear the doorbell ringing. They do not hear the fire alarm beeping. They do not smell the smoke coming from the kitchen.
+
+They only hear the story.
+
+They turn the page and see a big dragon. The dragon is angry and hungry. It wants to eat the prince and the princess. It breathes fire and roars.
+
+"Wow, this is scary," Tim says.
+
+"Maybe we should stop reading," Jen says.
+
+But they cannot stop reading. The book is magic. It makes them read and read. They cannot close the book. They cannot put it down.
+
+They try to scream, but no one hears them. They try to run, but they are stuck in their room. The door is locked. They do not have the key.
+
+They are trapped.
+
+The dragon comes closer and closer. It opens its mouth and shows its teeth.
+
+The end.

+Lily nods and says, "Yes, Sara, I want to nap with you. You are my best friend. Can we nap on your bed?"
+
+Sara smiles and says, "Of course, Lily, we can nap on my bed. Come on, let's go." She takes Lily's hand and leads her to her bed. They climb on the bed and cuddle under the yellow blanket. Sara has a yellow blanket because yellow is her favorite color. It makes her feel happy and warm.
+
+Sara and Lily close their eyes and fall asleep. They have sweet dreams about their castle and their dolls. They nap for a long time and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to play again. They hug each other and say, "We love naps and we love friends."

+
+Tom says, "I want to be a soldier too. Give me the hat."
+
+Lily says, "No, it is mine. You can be a horse. I ride you and you go fast."
+
+Tom does not like that. He says, "That is not fair. I want the hat. It is high and cool."
+
+He tries to grab the hat from Lily, but she runs away. They chase each other around the room. They knock over the toys and the books and the lamp. They make a lot of noise.
+
+Their mom hears them and comes to the room. She sees the mess and the hat. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Lily and Tom stop and look at their mom. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to play soldier, but we only have one hat."
+
+Mom says, "I see. Well, you can share the hat. You can take turns being a soldier. Or you can both be soldiers and march together. But you have to clean up the room first. And say sorry to each other."
+
+Lily and Tom hug and say sorry. They give the hat to mom and start to clean up the room. They put the toys and the books and the lamp back where they belong. They make the bed and smooth the sheets.
+
+Mom says, "Good job. You are very helpful. Now you can play soldier. But be careful and don't break anything."
+
+Lily and Tom say, "Thank you, mom. We will be careful."
+
+They put the hat on their heads and march around the room. They sing a song and salute. They have fun and laugh. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make up stories and pretend they were on adventures.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a big hill!" Ben said, driving his car up the grass. "Let's see what's on the other side!"
+
+"Okay, Ben, but be careful!" Lily said, following him with her doll. "Maybe there are monsters or dragons or pirates!"
+
+They reached the top of the hill and looked down. They saw a shiny motorcycle parked near a tree. It had a red and black paint and a loud horn.
+
+"Wow, Ben, look at that!" Lily said, pointing at the motorcycle. "It's so cool and fast and noisy!"
+
+"Let's go see it, Lily!" Ben said, running down the hill with his car. "Maybe we can ride it and go on a real adventure!"
+
+They ran to the motorcycle and touched it. It felt smooth and hard and warm. They saw a helmet and a jacket hanging from the handlebars.
+
+"Who do you think this belongs to, Ben?" Lily asked, looking around.
+
+"I don't know, Lily, but maybe they won't mind if we try it!" Ben said, putting on the helmet and the jacket. "Come on, Lily, hop on!"
+
+Lily hesitated. She was scared of the motorcycle. It looked too big and too loud for her. She liked her doll better. It was soft and pretty and delicate.
+
+"Ben, I don't want to ride the motorcycle!" Lily said, holding her doll. "It's scary and dangerous and not for us!"
+
+But Ben didn't listen. He pressed a button and the motorcycle roared to life. He twisted the handle and the motorcycle zoomed forward.
+
+"Ben, stop!" Lily shouted, running after him. "You don't know how to drive it!"
+
+But Ben didn't stop. He was having too much fun. He drove the motorcycle around the park, making loud noises and doing tricks.
+
+He didn't see the big rock in his way. He hit it and the motorcycle flipped over. He fell off and landed on the ground. The helmet and the jacket flew off. The motorcycle was broken and scratched.
+
+Ben was hurt and scared. He started to cry.
+
+Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was glad he was alive. She was also angry and sad.
+
+"Ben, you were very naughty and silly!" Lily said, wiping his tears. "You broke the motorcycle and hurt yourself and me! You should have listened to me!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry!" Ben said, sobbing. "I just wanted to have fun and be brave and cool!"
+
+They heard footsteps and saw a man coming. He was tall and strong and had a beard. He looked angry and surprised.
+
+He was the owner of the motorcycle.
+
+He saw the mess and the kids and the toys.
+
+He was not happy.
+
+He revealed his face and said, "What have you done to my motorcycle?"
+Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big pumpkin that their mom had grown. They wanted to carve it and make a funny face for Halloween.
+
+They asked their mom if they could use a knife, but she said no. She said knives were sharp and dangerous, and they could hurt themselves. She said they had to wait until she could help them.
+
+Tom and Anna were not happy. They thought their mom was mean and boring. They decided to sneak out and carve the pumpkin by themselves. They took a knife from the kitchen and ran to the garden.
+
+They started to cut the pumpkin, but they did not know how to do it well. The knife slipped and cut Tom's finger. He cried out loud and dropped the knife. Anna was scared and ran to get their mom.
+
+Their mom came and saw what had happened. She was angry and sad. She bandaged Tom's finger and scolded them for being naughty and disobedient. She said they could have hurt themselves badly, or the pumpkin, or the knife. She said they had to learn to listen and speak to her when they wanted to do something.
+
+Tom and Anna felt sorry and ashamed. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They said they loved her and they would not do it again. Their mom forgave them and hugged them back. She said she loved them too and she wanted them to be safe and happy.
+
+They went inside and had some cookies and milk. They looked out the window and saw the pumpkin. It had a gloomy face that they had made by mistake. They laughed and said it was the silliest pumpkin ever. They learned that it was better to speak and ask than to sneak and do.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with red and green things on it. Sara said, "Look, Ben, cherries! I like cherries. They are sweet and juicy. Can we pick some?"
+
+Ben nodded. He liked cherries too. He saw a ladder leaning on the tree. He said, "I can climb the ladder and get some cherries for us. You wait here, Sara."
+
+Sara waited at the bottom of the ladder. She watched Ben climb up. He reached for a red cherry and pulled it. But the cherry was not a cherry. It was a balloon. It popped and made a loud noise. Ben was scared. He let go of the ladder and fell down.
+
+Sara ran to Ben. She saw that he was not hurt, but he was very small. He had shrunk. He was as small as a cherry. Sara said, "Ben, what happened? You are so tiny. How can I make you big again?"
+
+Ben did not know. He was sad and scared. He said, "I don't know, Sara. I don't like being small. I can't play with you. I can't do anything. Please help me, Sara."
+
+Sara thought hard. She remembered that her mom had a book of magic spells. She said, "Don't worry, Ben. I have an idea. Maybe we can find a spell to make you big again. Come with me. I will carry you in my pocket."
+
+Sara picked up Ben and put him in her pocket. She ran to the house. She hoped that her mom's book had a spell to fix Ben. She hoped that Ben would be big again soon. She hoped that they would never touch a green cherry again.
+Anna liked to organize her things. She had a notebook where she drew pictures and wrote her name. She was very proud of her notebook. She put it in her backpack every day when she went to school.
+
+One day, a boy named Tom saw Anna's notebook. He wanted to see what was inside. He waited until Anna was playing with her friends and took her backpack. He opened the notebook and looked at the pictures. He thought they were silly and ugly. He ripped some pages and threw them away. He laughed and ran away with the notebook.
+
+Anna came back to her backpack and saw that it was open. She looked inside and saw that her notebook was gone. She felt very sad and angry. She asked her friends if they saw what happened. They told her that Tom took her notebook and ran away. Anna ran after Tom and shouted at him.
+
+"Give me back my notebook! You are very mean and bad!"
+
+Tom heard Anna and turned around. He saw that she was very mad and scared. He threw the notebook at her and ran away. He did not say sorry.
+
+Anna picked up her notebook and saw that it was ruined. Many pages were torn and missing. Her pictures and name were gone. She cried and hugged her notebook. She wished she had never brought it to school.
+
+The teacher saw what happened and came to Anna. She asked her what was wrong. Anna told her what Tom did. The teacher felt sorry for Anna and angry at Tom. She said she would talk to Tom and his parents. She said she would help Anna make a new notebook.
+
+But Anna did not want a new notebook. She wanted her old notebook. She loved her old notebook. It was incredible. It had her memories and her dreams. She learned a hard lesson. She learned that some people are not nice and do not care about other people's things. She learned that she should be careful with her things and not trust everyone. She learned that organizing her things was not enough to keep them safe. She learned that sometimes things get broken and cannot be fixed. She learned that life is not always fair and happy. She learned to be sad.
+Tom and Lily are playing with water guns in the garden. They have a lot of fun spraying each other and the plants. They laugh and run around.
+
+"Look, there is a small chamber under the tree!" Lily says. "Let's go inside and hide!"
+
+Tom agrees and they both crawl into the chamber. It is dark and cozy. They hear the birds singing outside.
+
+"Shh, don't make any noise. Maybe we can scare mom and dad when they come looking for us," Tom whispers.
+
+Lily nods and smiles. She likes to play tricks. They wait quietly in the chamber.
+
+After a while, they hear footsteps and voices. It is mom and dad. They are looking for Tom and Lily.
+
+"Where are they? They were playing here a minute ago," mom says.
+
+"Maybe they went inside the house. Let's check," dad says.
+
+They walk towards the house. Tom and Lily see them through a small hole in the chamber. They get ready to spray them.
+
+"Surprise!" they shout and spray mom and dad with water.
+
+Mom and dad are wet and shocked. They look at Tom and Lily and laugh.
+
+"You got us! That was a good hiding place," mom says.
+
+"You are very clever and sneaky. But now you are wet too," dad says.
+
+They hug and tickle Tom and Lily. They are all happy and wet. They go inside the house to change and have a snack.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a lot of trees. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+They ran up the hill, holding hands. They saw a lot of flowers and birds and bugs. They also saw a lot of mist. It was white and soft and wet. It covered the trees and the grass and the sky.
+
+"Wow, look at the mist!" Lily said. "It's like a big blanket!"
+
+"Let's go inside it!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find something cool!"
+
+They walked into the mist. They could not see very well. They heard strange noises. They felt cold and wet.
+
+"Tom, I don't like this!" Lily said. "I can't see you! I can't see anything!"
+
+"Don't be scared, Lily!" Tom said. "It's just mist! It's harmless!"
+
+But then they heard a loud roar. It came from behind them. It sounded like a big animal. It sounded angry.
+
+"Tom, what was that?" Lily said. "Is it a lion? Is it a bear?"
+
+"I don't know, Lily!" Tom said. "But we have to run!"
+
+They turned around and ran. They ran as fast as they could. They ran out of the mist. They ran down the hill. They ran back to the park.
+
+They saw their mom and dad. They ran to them and hugged them. They told them what happened. They were scared and tired and wet.
+
+"Mom, dad, there was something in the mist!" Lily said. "It roared at us! It wanted to eat us!"
+
+"Shh, shh, it's okay, Lily!" Mom said. "You're safe now! There's nothing in the mist!"
+
+"Are you sure, mom?" Tom said. "It sounded big and mean!"
+
+"Yes, I'm sure, Tom!" Dad said. "It was probably just a cow or a horse. They make noises sometimes. They're harmless!"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They were not sure. They wondered what was in the mist. They wondered if they would ever go back to the hill. They wondered if they would ever find out.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big green fruit hanging from a tree. They wondered what it was.
+
+"Let's pick it and see," Max said. He climbed the tree and reached for the fruit. But it was too high and he slipped and fell. He hurt his knee and cried.
+
+Lily ran to him and hugged him. She saw the fruit on the ground. It had a brown skin and a green inside. She picked it up and showed it to Max.
+
+"Look, it's an avocado," she said. "Mommy likes to eat it. She says it's smooth and good for you."
+
+Max stopped crying and gazed at the avocado. He touched it and felt its smooth skin. He smiled and said, "Can we try it?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, but we have to share it. And we have to wash it first. Come on, let's go to the kitchen."
+
+They went to the kitchen and washed the avocado. They cut it in half and each took a spoon. They scooped out the green flesh and tasted it. They liked it. It was smooth and creamy and yummy.
+
+They ate the whole avocado and felt happy. They thanked the tree for giving them the fruit. They learned that trying new things can be fun and healthy. And they learned to be careful when climbing trees.
+Ben likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He makes them speed on the floor and makes noises like vroom and beep. He pretends they are racing and having fun.
+
+One day, Ben finds a new car in his toy box. It is red and shiny and has a flame on the side. Ben thinks it is the coolest car ever. He wants to make it speed faster than all the other cars. He puts it on the floor and pushes it hard.
+
+But the car does not go fast. It goes slow and makes a strange sound like hiss. Ben is confused and sad. He picks up the car and looks at it. He sees a small hole in the bottom. He sees something spark and smoke. He feels something hot and ouchy.
+
+The car has a bad flame inside. It is not a toy. It is a danger. Ben drops the car and runs away. He shouts for his mom and dad. He tells them about the bad flame car. They come and see the car. They are scared and angry.
+
+They take the car and put it in a metal can. They tell Ben to never touch it again. They say it is not his car. It is a mistake. Someone put it in his toy box by accident. They say they are sorry and they hug him. They say he is brave and smart.
+
+Ben is still sad and scared. He does not want to play with his toy cars anymore. He wants to play with something else. He asks his mom and dad for a new toy. They say yes and they take him to the store. They let him choose a new toy. He chooses a soft and fluffy teddy bear. He likes it a lot. He names it Flame. He says it is a good flame. He cuddles it and smiles.
+Tom liked to play with his toy machine. It had wheels and buttons and lights. He could make it go fast or slow, or make it beep or flash. He had fun with his machine every day.
+
+One day, his mom said they had to go to grandma's house. Tom did not want to go. He wanted to stay and play with his machine. He said no to his mom. He cried and kicked. His mom was not happy. She said he had to go, or he would miss the cake and the balloons.
+
+Tom sighed. He did not care about cake and balloons. He only cared about his machine. He put it in his bag and followed his mom to the car. He hoped he could play with it at grandma's house.
+
+But when they got there, he saw that grandma had a lot of guests. There were many people and noise and mess. Tom did not like it. He looked for a quiet place to play with his machine. He found a corner in the living room, behind a big chair. He took out his machine and turned it on.
+
+He smiled as he watched the lights and heard the beeps. He felt happy with his machine. He did not notice the other kids who came to see what he was doing. They wanted to play with his machine too. They reached for it and touched it and pulled it. Tom did not like that. He shouted and pushed them away. He said it was his machine and they could not have it.
+
+The other kids were angry and sad. They ran to their moms and dads and told them what Tom did. The moms and dads were not happy. They said Tom was rude and selfish. They said he had to share his machine or go home.
+
+Tom did not want to share his machine. He did not want to go home. He wanted to be alone with his machine. He hugged it and hid behind the chair. He did not hear his mom calling his name. He did not see the cake and the balloons. He did not feel the distant looks and the cold words. He only felt his machine. He thought it was his best friend. He did not know he was missing out on a lot of fun.
+Lily liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made pictures of her family, her dog, and her favorite toys. One day, she decided to create a collar for her dog, Spot. She cut out a long strip of paper and colored it with red and blue. She wrote "Spot" on it with a big letter S.
+
+She ran to the living room, where Spot was sleeping on the couch. She tried to put the collar around his neck, but it was too big. It fell off and landed on the floor. Spot woke up and looked at Lily. He wagged his tail and licked her face.
+
+"Look, Spot, I made you a collar!" Lily said, holding up the paper. "Do you like it?"
+
+Spot barked and sniffed the paper. He thought it was a toy. He grabbed it with his teeth and ran away. Lily chased him, shouting, "No, Spot, no! That's not a toy, that's your collar!"
+
+Spot ran into the kitchen, where Mom was making lunch. He jumped on the table and knocked over a bowl of salad. Lettuce and tomatoes flew everywhere. Mom gasped and scolded Spot. She took the paper collar from his mouth and threw it in the trash.
+
+Lily came into the kitchen, crying. She saw her collar in the trash and felt sad. She hugged Spot and said, "I'm sorry, Spot. I wanted to make you a nice collar, but it didn't fit. And now it's gone."
+
+Mom saw Lily's tears and felt sorry for her. She hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you love Spot and you wanted to create something for him. But paper is not a good material for a collar. It can tear and get wet and dirty. How about we go to the pet store and buy Spot a real collar? You can choose the color and the name tag."
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She dried her eyes and said, "Okay, Mom. That sounds fun. Can we go now?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. Let's go. But first, let's clean up this mess."
+
+Lily and Mom picked up the lettuce and tomatoes from the floor and the table. Spot helped by eating some of them. He wagged his tail and barked. He was happy to have Lily and Mom as his family. And he was excited to get a new collar.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They wanted to give him a nose, but they did not have a carrot. They looked around and saw a red beetle crawling on a branch.
+
+"Look, Ben, a beetle! Let's use it for the snowman's nose!" Anna said.
+
+"But the beetle is alive. It will not like the snow. It will be cold and sad," Ben said.
+
+"No, it will be happy. It will make the snowman look funny. Come on, help me catch it!" Anna said.
+
+They ran to the branch and tried to grab the beetle. But the beetle was fast and smart. It ran away from their hands and jumped to another branch. Anna and Ben followed it, but they did not see the ice on the ground. They slipped and fell. The beetle laughed and flew away.
+
+"Ouch, that hurt!" Anna said.
+
+"Are you okay, Anna?" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. But the beetle is gone. Now we have no nose for the snowman," Anna said.
+
+They looked at the snowman and saw that he was smiling. He had a nose after all. It was a pine cone that had fallen from a tree. The snowman looked happy and funny.
+
+"Wow, look, Ben, a pine cone! It's a perfect nose for the snowman!" Anna said.
+
+"Maybe the beetle gave it to us. Maybe he was not so bad after all. Maybe he was just playing with us," Ben said.
+
+They laughed and hugged the snowman. They thanked the beetle and the pine cone. They played in the snow until it was time to go home. They had a lot of fun. They learned to balance on the ice and to be kind to the beetle.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with trucks and diggers. They have a big sandbox in the backyard. They pretend it is a mine. They look for shiny rocks and coins.
+
+One day, Tom finds a big shiny rock. He is very happy. He shouts, "Look, Sam, I found a treasure! It is mine, mine, mine!" He holds the rock in his hands.
+
+Sam is eager to see the rock. He runs to Tom and says, "Wow, that is a nice rock. Can I see it, please?" He reaches for the rock.
+
+Tom does not want to share. He says, "No, it is mine. Go away!" He pushes Sam with his elbow.
+
+Sam is angry. He says, "That is not fair. You are mean!" He strikes Tom with his fist.
+
+Tom and Sam start to fight. They hit and kick each other. They make a lot of noise.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the backyard. She sees Tom and Sam fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Tom and Sam stop fighting. They look at Mom. They are scared. They say, "Sorry, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "Why did you fight? What is that rock?"
+
+Tom says, "It is a treasure. I found it in the mine. It is mine."
+
+Sam says, "He did not want to share. He pushed me. He was mean."
+
+Mom says, "That is not a treasure. That is a bottle cap. It is not worth fighting for. You should share and be kind. You are friends. Friends do not fight. Friends play together."
+
+Tom and Sam feel ashamed. They say, "You are right, Mom. We are sorry. We are friends."
+
+Mom says, "Good. Now, give each other a hug and say sorry. Then, you can play with the trucks and diggers again. But, no more fighting, OK?"
+
+Tom and Sam hug each other and say sorry. They put the bottle cap in the trash. They play with the trucks and diggers again. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big red ball near the fence. They wanted to play with it.
+
+"Let's get the ball!" Tom said.
+
+"But it is on the other side of the fence," Lily said. "We can't go there. Mom said no."
+
+Tom had an idea. He saw a handle on the fence. It was for the gate. He pulled the handle and opened the gate.
+
+"Look, we can escape!" he said. "Come on, Lily!"
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to go out of the garden. She did not want to make Mom angry.
+
+"Tom, no!" she said. "We have to be careful. There might be cars or dogs or strangers. We have to stay here."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran out of the gate and grabbed the ball. He was happy. He threw the ball in the air and caught it.
+
+"Tom, come back!" Lily shouted. "Please!"
+
+But Tom did not hear her. He was too busy playing with the ball. He did not see the big black dog that was running towards him. He did not hear the dog's bark. He did not feel the dog's teeth until it was too late.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. It is a pit. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let's search the pit!" Tim says. "Maybe we can find something cool!"
+
+"OK!" Sam says. "But be careful. The pit is dry and dusty. We might get dirty."
+
+They go to the pit and look inside. They see some rocks, some sticks, and some bugs. They also see something shiny. It is a coin.
+
+"Wow! Look at this!" Tim says. He picks up the coin and shows it to Sam. "It is shiny and round. Maybe it is a treasure!"
+
+"Wow! That is cool!" Sam says. He wants to touch the coin too. "Can I see it?"
+
+"Sure!" Tim says. He gives the coin to Sam. They both look at it and smile. They are happy. They found something cool in the pit.
+Anna was bored. She had nothing to do in her room. All her toys were dull and old. She wanted to play with something new and fun.
+
+She saw a big book on the shelf. It had many pictures and words. She liked books, but this one was too hard for her. She could not read the words. She tried to look at the pictures, but they were small and dark.
+
+She felt angry and sad. She wanted to tear the book. She thought it would make her feel better. She grabbed the book and pulled hard. The pages ripped and flew in the air. She heard a loud noise.
+
+She stopped and looked around. Her room was a mess. There were paper bits everywhere. She saw her mom at the door. She looked mad and sad. She said, "Anna, what did you do? You tore the book. That was a bad thing to do. That book was special. It was a gift from your grandma. She loved you very much. How do you think she would feel if she saw this?"
+
+Anna felt sorry and scared. She did not mean to hurt the book or her mom. She did not know the book was special. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was bored. I wanted to play. I did not like the book. It was dull and hard."
+
+Her mom sighed and hugged her. She said, "I know, Anna. But you can't tear things when you are bored or angry. That is not nice or respectful. You have to be careful with your things and other people's things. You have to find other ways to play and have fun. Maybe we can go to the library and find some books that you like and can read. Would you like that?"
+
+Anna nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, mom. I would like that. I love you. I'm sorry again."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Anna. It's okay. We all make mistakes. But we have to learn from them and say sorry. Now, let's clean up this mess and then we can go to the library."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play and laugh. One day, they go to the mall with Anna's mom. They see a big cake and a lot of people. Anna's mom says they are going to a wedding. Anna and Ben do not know what a wedding is.
+
+Anna's mom says a wedding is when two people love each other and want to be together forever. They say "I do" and then they kiss and wear rings. Anna and Ben think that sounds nice. They want to be together forever too. They decide to play wedding. They find some paper and make rings. They put them on their fingers. They say "I do" and then they kiss.
+
+But then, a man sees them and gets very angry. He is the groom. He says they are ruining his wedding. He says they are not allowed to kiss. He says they are too young to marry. He grabs their paper rings and tears them apart. He yells at them and tells them to go away.
+
+Anna and Ben are very sad and scared. They run to Anna's mom and cry. Anna's mom is very sorry. She hugs them and says they did nothing wrong. She says the man is mean and rude. She says they can play whatever they want. She says they are still friends.
+
+But Anna and Ben do not feel like playing anymore. They feel dizzy and sick. They do not want to see the cake or the people. They do not want to be at the mall. They just want to go home. They do not like weddings anymore. They do not like the man. They do not like the rings. They do not like the kiss. They do not like the word "marry". They wish they never played wedding. They wish they never came to the mall. They wish they never saw the man. They wish they never said "I do". They wish they never kissed.
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and houses and cars. Lily had a big red circle that she put on top of her tower. She said, "Look, my tower has a hat!"
+
+Ben wanted the red circle too. He said, "No, that's my hat! Give it to me!" He tried to grab the circle from Lily's tower, but he pulled too hard. The tower fell down and the blocks went everywhere. Lily was sad and angry. She said, "Ben, you are mean! You broke my tower!"
+
+Ben was sorry, but he still wanted the circle. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily, but I like the circle. It's shiny and round. Can I have it, please?" Lily shook her head. She said, "No, you can't have it. It's mine. You have to share."
+
+Ben did not want to share. He said, "No, I don't have to share. It's not fair. You have more blocks than me." He tried to grab the circle again, but Lily held it tight. They both pulled and tugged, but neither of them let go.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a scary monster. It had big teeth and claws and horns. It said, "I am hungry. I want to eat you and your blocks. Give me the circle, or I will bite you!"
+
+Lily and Ben were very scared. They forgot about the circle and the blocks. They hugged each other and said, "Help! Help! Go away, monster!"
+
+The monster laughed. It said, "I am not a real monster. I am your dad. I was just playing with you. Did I scare you?"
+
+Lily and Ben realized it was their dad. They were relieved and angry. They said, "Dad, you are mean! You scared us! That's not funny!"
+
+Their dad said, "I'm sorry, kids. I was just joking. I love you. Can I play with you and your blocks?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They decided to forgive their dad. They said, "Okay, dad. You can play with us. But you have to share. And no more scary monsters!"
+
+Their dad said, "Okay, okay. I will share. And no more scary monsters. How about we make a big circle with all the blocks?"
+
+Lily and Ben liked that idea. They said, "Yes, let's make a big circle. A big circle is fun!"
+
+They all smiled and started to make a big circle with the blocks. They had fun and played nicely. They learned to share and not to scare. The end.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toy guns and pretend to be cowboys. One day, they find a tall ladder in the backyard. They decide to climb it and see what is on the roof.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He sees a big bird nest with eggs. "Let's shoot the eggs and make them break!"
+
+"No, don't do that!" Sam says. He likes birds and does not want to hurt them. "That is mean and bad. The birds will be sad."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He aims his toy gun at the nest and pulls the trigger. "Bang! Bang!" he says. He thinks he is having fun.
+
+But then, something happens. The mother bird comes back and sees Tom and Sam on the roof. She is angry and scared. She flies at them and pecks them with her beak. "Squawk! Squawk!" she says.
+
+"Ow! Ow!" Tom and Sam say. They are hurt and scared. They drop their toy guns and run down the ladder. They want to get away from the bird.
+
+They learn a lesson. They should not shoot things that are alive and have feelings. They should be kind and gentle to animals. They say sorry to the bird and to each other. They hug and make up. They promise to never shoot the eggs again.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big rock that they pretended was a castle. Sometimes they would take turns being the king or the queen of the rock. But sometimes they would both want to be the ruler and they would fight.
+
+One day, they were having a big argument over who would sit on the rock. Lila said, "I was here first, so I am the queen. You have to do what I say." Ben said, "No, you are not. I am the king and you have to listen to me." They pushed and pulled each other, trying to get on the rock.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a tiny voice say, "Stop it, stop it, you are hurting me!" They looked around and saw a little fairy sitting on a flower. She had wings like a butterfly and a dress like a leaf. She looked very sad and scared.
+
+"Who are you?" Lila asked, forgetting about the rock. "I am Fina, the fairy of the garden. I live here with my friends, the birds and the bees and the worms. But you are making so much noise and shaking the ground. You are scaring them away and hurting my home." Fina said.
+
+"We are sorry, Fina. We didn't know you were here. We were just playing." Ben said. "But why are you playing like that? Why are you fighting over the rock? It is just a rock. It is not fun or nice." Fina said.
+
+Lila and Ben looked at each other and felt ashamed. They realized that they were being silly and mean. They said, "You are right, Fina. It is not fun or nice. We are sorry. We don't need to fight over the rock. We can share it or play something else. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Fina smiled and said, "Yes, I would love to play with you. But can you be gentle and quiet? And can you be kind to each other and to the garden?" Lila and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we can. We will be gentle and quiet and kind. We will be your friends."
+
+And so they played with Fina, the fairy of the garden. They learned to rock the rock gently and make it a swing. They learned to make crowns and necklaces out of flowers and leaves. They learned to listen to the songs of the birds and the buzz of the bees. They learned to be happy and friendly and not competitive. And they had a lot of fun.
+One day, a farmer and his son went to ride their horses. They liked to ride in the fields and see the animals and the trees. But today, it was very cold and icy. The farmer said, "Be careful, son. The ice is slippery and the horses might fall."
+
+The son nodded and followed his father. They rode slowly and looked around. They saw some cows, some sheep, and some chickens. They also saw some snowmen that the children had made. The son smiled and said, "Look, father. The snowmen are funny. They have hats and scarves and carrots for noses."
+
+The father smiled too and said, "Yes, they are funny. But we should not touch them. They belong to the children and they worked hard to make them." The son agreed and they rode on.
+
+Soon, they came to a bridge over a river. The river was frozen and shiny. The son wanted to cross the bridge and see the other side. He said, "Father, can we go over the bridge? I want to see what is there."
+
+The father shook his head and said, "No, son. The bridge is too icy and dangerous. We might slip and fall into the water. That would be very bad. We should go back to the farm and warm up."
+
+The son was disappointed, but he listened to his father. He said, "OK, father. You are right. The bridge is too icy and dangerous. We should go back to the farm and warm up." They turned their horses around and rode back to the farm. They were happy to see their home and their family. They put their horses in the barn and went inside. They drank some hot cocoa and ate some cookies. They thanked the horses for the ride and said good night. They cuddled in their beds and dreamed of riding again.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Ben had a car. They liked to make noises and pretend they were going on adventures.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast and strong!" Ben said, moving his car on the floor.
+
+"My doll is pretty and smart!" Sara said, holding her doll in her arms.
+
+Ben saw Sara's doll and wanted to play with it. He reached out and grabbed it from Sara.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Sara cried, trying to pull her doll away.
+
+"No, it's mine now!" Ben said, lifting the doll over his head.
+
+Sara was angry and sad. She ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, Ben took my doll and he won't give it back!" Sara said, sobbing.
+
+Mom came to the living room and saw Ben with Sara's doll. She frowned and spoke to Ben.
+
+"Ben, that's not nice. You can't take Sara's doll without asking. That's ignorant. How would you feel if Sara took your car?" Mom said.
+
+Ben looked at his car on the floor. He liked his car very much. He didn't want Sara to take it. He felt sorry for Sara.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. I was ignorant. Here, you can have your doll back." Ben said, handing the doll to Sara.
+
+Sara smiled and hugged her doll. She saw the zip on Ben's car. She thought it looked fun.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. Can I play with your car?" Sara asked.
+
+Ben nodded and smiled.
+
+"Sure, Sara. You can play with my car. We can share our toys." Ben said.
+
+Sara and Ben played with their car and doll together. They made noises and pretended they were going on adventures. Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy they learned to share and be kind.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with cars. One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box has a picture of a jungle on it. Tom and Sue want to see the jungle.
+
+They open the box and take out a big car. The car has four wheels and a steering wheel. It also has a button that makes it go. Tom and Sue get inside the car and push the button. The car starts to drive.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Tom says. "We are driving to the jungle!"
+
+"Look, there are animals!" Sue says. She points to the picture on the box. She sees a lion, a monkey, a snake and a bird. "They are so cute!"
+
+Tom and Sue drive around the box and pretend they are in the jungle. They make noises like the animals. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But then, they see something else on the box. It is a chubby elephant. The elephant is gray and has big ears and a long nose. The elephant looks angry. It is stomping its feet and shaking its trunk.
+
+"Uh-oh, what is that?" Tom asks. He is scared of the elephant.
+
+"It is an elephant!" Sue says. She is not scared. She likes elephants. "He is chubby and funny. Maybe he wants to play with us."
+
+Sue honks the horn of the car. The elephant hears the horn and looks at the car. He thinks the car is another elephant. He wants to play with the car.
+
+The elephant runs towards the car. He is very fast and very big. He bumps the car with his nose. The car shakes and moves.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom shouts. He does not like the elephant. He wants to get away.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Sue shouts. She does not want the elephant to hurt the car. She pushes the button to make the car stop.
+
+But the button does not work. The car keeps driving. The elephant keeps bumping. Tom and Sue are in trouble.
+
+They scream and cry. They want to get out of the car. They want to get out of the jungle. They want their mom and dad.
+
+Mom and dad hear the noise. They come to the garage. They see the car and the box and the elephant. They are surprised and confused.
+
+"What are you doing?" mom asks. She is worried and angry.
+
+"We are driving to the jungle!" Tom and Sue say. They are sorry and scared.
+
+Mom and dad take Tom and Sue out of the car. They hug them and calm them down. They explain that the car is a toy and the elephant is a picture. They are not real. They are not in the jungle.
+
+Tom and Sue feel silly and sad. They did not know. They say sorry to mom and dad. They say sorry to the car and the elephant.
+
+Mom and dad smile and forgive them. They say it is okay. They say they can play with the car and the box, but they have to be careful and gentle. They have to use their imagination, not their fear.
+
+Tom and Sue nod and agree. They learn their lesson. They still like the car and the box, but they do not want to drive to the jungle anymore. They want to drive to the park. They want to see real animals. They want to have fun.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big lemon tree. They want to pick some lemons.
+
+"Look, Sara, lemons!" Tom says. "They are yellow and round. They look yummy."
+
+"Let's get some, Tom," Sara says. "We can make lemonade."
+
+They run to the lemon tree. They see a sign. The sign says: "Do not touch. These lemons are mine. Mr. Brown."
+
+"Who is Mr. Brown?" Tom asks. "He is not nice. He does not share."
+
+"He is ignorant," Sara says. "He does not know that sharing is good. We can take some lemons. He will not see us."
+
+They reach for the lemons. But they do not know that Mr. Brown is watching them. He is hiding behind the fence. He has a big hose. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids, get away from my lemons!" Mr. Brown shouts. He turns on the hose. He sprays water at Sara and Tom.
+
+Sara and Tom scream. They are wet and cold. They drop the lemons. They run away.
+
+"Sorry, Mr. Brown," they say. "We did not mean to steal your lemons."
+
+They learn a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should respect other people's signs. They should not be ignorant.
+Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks and make things. One day, they decide to make a city with their blocks. They put some blocks on the floor and stack them up. They make houses, shops, and a park.
+
+"Look, this is my house. It has a door and a window," Lila says, pointing to her block house.
+
+"That's nice. This is my shop. It has a sign and a shelf," Sam says, showing his block shop.
+
+They keep making more things for their city. They are happy and proud of their work.
+
+But then, Lila's baby brother comes. He sees the blocks and wants to play too. He crawls to the city and grabs some blocks. He throws them and laughs.
+
+"Hey, stop that! You are ruining our city!" Lila shouts, running to her brother.
+
+"No, no, no! Give me back my blocks!" Sam cries, following Lila.
+
+But the baby brother does not listen. He keeps throwing and grabbing blocks. He knocks down the houses, the shops, and the park. He makes a big mess.
+
+Lila and Sam are sad and angry. They try to stop him, but he is too fast and strong. He pushes them away and giggles.
+
+Then, Lila has an idea. She sees a cup of water on the table. She runs to the table and grabs the cup. She comes back to the city and pours the water on the baby brother.
+
+"Splosh! Splosh! Splosh!" The water splashes on the baby brother. He is wet and cold. He stops throwing and grabbing blocks. He starts to cry.
+
+"Mommy! Mommy! Lila poured water on me!" He wails, crawling to his mom.
+
+Lila and Sam smile. They have saved their city. They hug each other and say sorry for the mess.
+
+"That was a good idea, Lila. You are very smart and original," Sam says, admiring Lila.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. You are very kind and creative," Lila says, complimenting Sam.
+
+They clean up the blocks and start to make their city again. They make it even better than before. They are happy and proud of their work. They are friends.
+One day, a little pig was very sad. He did not like his nose. He thought it was too big and ugly. He wished he had a nose like the other animals on the farm.
+
+He saw a horse with a long and shiny nose. He leaned over the fence and said, "Hello, horse. Can I have your nose? It is so pretty."
+
+The horse snorted and said, "No, you cannot have my nose. It is mine. And your nose is not ugly. It is good for smelling and digging."
+
+The little pig was not happy. He saw a cow with a wet and pink nose. He leaned over the fence and said, "Hello, cow. Can I have your nose? It is so cute."
+
+The cow mooed and said, "No, you cannot have my nose. It is mine. And your nose is not ugly. It is good for breathing and mooing."
+
+The little pig was still sad. He saw a sheep with a fluffy and white nose. He leaned over the fence and said, "Hello, sheep. Can I have your nose? It is so soft."
+
+The sheep baaed and said, "No, you cannot have my nose. It is mine. And your nose is not ugly. It is good for warming and bleating."
+
+The little pig felt very bad. He thought no one liked his nose. He leaned over the fence and cried.
+
+The farmer heard the little pig crying. He came over and said, "What is wrong, little pig? Why are you so sad?"
+
+The little pig said, "I do not like my nose. It is too big and ugly. I want a nose like the other animals."
+
+The farmer smiled and said, "Little pig, your nose is not ugly. It is perfect for you. It is good for snorting and oinking. It is good for being a pig. And I love you just the way you are."
+
+The little pig looked at the farmer. He saw his kind and friendly face. He felt his warm and gentle hand. He heard his sweet and caring voice. He realized that the farmer was right. He did not need a different nose. He was happy with his own nose.
+
+He leaned over the fence and said, "Thank you, farmer. You are very nice. I love you too. And I love my nose."
+
+The farmer hugged the little pig and said, "You are very welcome, little pig. You are very smart. And you are very beautiful."
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to read books. She read books about animals, and books about cars, and books about stars. She read books every day, before bed and after lunch. She had many books in her room, but her favorite book was about skeletons.
+
+One day, she wanted to read her skeleton book, but she could not find it. She looked under her bed, and in her closet, and on her shelf. She asked her mom and her dad, but they did not know where it was. She felt anxious. She wanted to read her skeleton book very much.
+
+She decided to look in the basement. She was a little scared of the basement, because it was dark and cold. She took a flashlight and went down the stairs. She saw many boxes and bags, and some old things. She looked in every box and bag, but she did not see her skeleton book.
+
+Then, she heard a noise. It sounded like a rattling. She turned around and saw a skeleton. It was hanging from the ceiling, with a string. It was not a real skeleton, but a fake one, for Halloween. But Lily did not know that. She thought it was a real skeleton, and it wanted to get her.
+
+She screamed and ran up the stairs. She dropped her flashlight and tripped on the last step. She hurt her knee and started to cry. Her mom and dad heard her and came to see what was wrong. They saw her knee and the flashlight and the skeleton. They hugged her and told her it was okay. They explained that the skeleton was not real, and that it was just a decoration. They said they were sorry they scared her, and that they forgot to take it down.
+
+They took her to her room and gave her a band-aid and a kiss. They also gave her something else. It was her skeleton book. It was under her pillow. They said they found it when they made her bed. They said they wanted to surprise her, and that they were proud of her for reading so well.
+
+Lily smiled and thanked them. She felt better. She opened her skeleton book and started to read. She still liked skeletons, but only in books. She did not like them in the basement. She decided to read her animal book next.
+Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big log near the pond. They want to roll it into the water.
+
+"Let's push the log, Ben!" Lila says.
+
+"OK, Lila!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the log and push with all their might. The log starts to move. It rolls faster and faster. It speeds down the hill.
+
+"Look, Lila! The log is speeding!" Ben says.
+
+"Wow, Ben! It's so fast!" Lila says.
+
+But they don't see the old man sitting on a bench. He is deaf. He can't hear the log coming. He is reading a book.
+
+"Watch out, mister!" Lila shouts.
+
+"Move, move!" Ben shouts.
+
+But the old man doesn't hear them. The log hits the bench. The bench breaks. The old man falls. The log splashes into the pond.
+
+"Oh no, Ben! We hurt the mister!" Lila says.
+
+"Are you OK, mister?" Ben says.
+
+The old man looks up. He sees Lila and Ben. He sees the broken bench. He sees the log in the pond. He is not happy.
+
+"Bad kids! Bad kids!" he says.
+
+He points to the log. He points to the bench. He points to his book. He shakes his head.
+
+"Sorry, mister! Sorry!" Lila says.
+
+"We didn't mean to, mister! We didn't know!" Ben says.
+
+They run away. They are scared. They are sad. They don't play with the log anymore.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend that the furniture was a castle, a boat, or a jungle. They had fun making noises and stories with their toys.
+
+But then, Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Sara and Tom, what are you doing? You have to clean up this mess. You can't leave the furniture like this. It is rude to make a mess and not clean it up."
+
+Sara and Tom did not want to clean up. They wanted to keep playing. They said, "But Mom, we are having fun. We are not rude. We are just playing. Please, let us play a little more."
+
+Mom shook her head. She said, "No, you have to clean up now. It is time for dinner. And you have to be polite and respect the furniture. It is not a toy. It is for sitting and resting and eating. Now, help me put everything back where it belongs."
+
+Sara and Tom sighed. They did not like to clean up. They thought Mom was being mean. They started to pick up their toys and put them in the box. But then, they saw something funny. On the couch, there was a big cushion with a face on it. It had eyes, a nose, a mouth, and ears. It looked like a silly person.
+
+Sara and Tom looked at each other. They smiled. They could not help it. They started to laugh. They laughed so hard that they fell on the floor. They thought the cushion was very funny.
+
+Mom heard them laughing. She came back to the living room. She saw the cushion on the couch. She smiled too. She said, "Who made this cushion? It is very funny. It made me laugh too."
+
+Sara and Tom said, "We did, Mom. We made it with our markers and stickers. We wanted to make you laugh. We are sorry for making a mess. We will clean it up. But can we keep the cushion? It is our friend."
+
+Mom hugged them. She said, "Yes, you can keep the cushion. It is very creative. And I am glad you made me laugh. But you still have to clean up the rest of the furniture. And then, we can have dinner. And maybe, after dinner, we can play with the cushion together."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They said, "Okay, Mom. We love you. And we love the cushion too."
+
+They finished cleaning up the furniture. Then, they had dinner. And after dinner, they played with the cushion. They made more faces and stories and noises. They had fun. And they laughed a lot.
+Tim and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a hammer in the garage. They think it is fun to hit things with the hammer.
+
+"Look, I can break this box!" Tim says. He hits the box hard with the hammer. The box falls apart.
+
+"Wow, that is cool!" Tom says. He sees a vase on the shelf. He wants to break it too. He takes the hammer from Tim. "Let me try!"
+
+"No, Tom, that is mom's vase!" Tim says. He tries to stop Tom. But Tom is faster. He hits the vase with the hammer. The vase shatters. Pieces of glass fly everywhere.
+
+"Oh no, what have you done?" Tim says. He is scared. He knows mom will be angry. The vase was very pretty. And very expensive.
+
+"Sorry, Tim, I did not mean to!" Tom says. He is scared too. He drops the hammer. The hammer is dirty. It has dust and glass on it.
+
+They hear mom coming. They hide behind the couch. They hope mom will not see the mess.
+
+Mom enters the room. She sees the broken vase. She sees the dirty hammer. She is very angry. She knows who did it.
+
+"Tim! Tom! Come here right now!" she shouts. She is not happy. She wants to talk to them.
+
+Tim and Tom come out from behind the couch. They look at mom. They look at the floor. They are very sorry.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry, we were playing with the hammer and we broke the vase!" Tim says.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry, we did not know the vase was yours and we broke it!" Tom says.
+
+Mom sighs. She is still angry. But she loves her boys. She knows they are young. And they made a mistake.
+
+"Boys, you should not play with the hammer. It is not a toy. It is a tool. It can hurt you and break things. You should ask me before you use it. And you should be careful with my things. The vase was very special to me. It was a gift from grandma. You cannot replace it. It is gone forever." she says.
+
+Tim and Tom feel very bad. They understand. They hug mom. They say they are sorry again.
+
+Mom hugs them back. She says she forgives them. But they have to help her clean up the mess. And they have to do some chores to pay for the vase. And they have to promise to never play with the hammer again.
+
+Tim and Tom agree. They say they promise. They help mom clean up. They do some chores. They learn their lesson. They never play with the hammer again.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to spin around and around until they felt dizzy. They laughed and fell on the grass.
+
+"Look at your clothes!" said Mom. "They are all dirty and wet. You need to change them before dinner."
+
+Lily and Max followed Mom to the house. Mom took their clothes and put them in a big box. The box made a loud noise and water came out of it.
+
+"What is that?" asked Lily.
+
+"That is the washing machine," said Mom. "It spins the clothes to make them clean."
+
+Lily and Max watched the box. They saw their clothes spinning inside. They felt worried.
+
+"Will our clothes be okay?" asked Max.
+
+"Of course," said Mom. "They will be fine. The washing machine is gentle with them. When it is done, we will hang them outside to dry."
+
+Lily and Max felt better. They hugged Mom and went to their room. They put on new clothes and waited for dinner. They hoped their old clothes would be clean and dry soon. They still liked to spin, but not when their clothes were inside the box.
+Anna and Ben like to play with rocks. They have many rocks of different colors and shapes. They call them minerals. They like to sort them, stack them, and pretend they are treasure.
+
+One day, they find a big rock that is shiny and sparkly. It has many colors like a rainbow. They think it is the most beautiful mineral they have ever seen.
+
+"Wow, look at this mineral!" Anna says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I see it?" Ben asks. "I want to hold it."
+
+Anna does not want to share. She likes the mineral too much. She hugs it to her chest. "No, it is mine!" she says. "You have your own minerals."
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He thinks Anna is not being nice. He wants to play with the mineral too. He tries to grab it from her. "Let me see it!" he says. "It is not fair!"
+
+They start to pull and tug on the mineral. They do not notice that the mineral is breaking. It cracks and splits into many pieces. They both gasp and drop the pieces.
+
+"Oh no, what did we do?" Anna says. "We broke the mineral!"
+
+They look at the pieces. They are not shiny and sparkly anymore. They are dull and gray. They are just regular rocks.
+
+They feel sorry and ashamed. They wish they had not fought over the mineral. They wish they had shared it.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna says. "I should have let you see the mineral. It was not nice of me to keep it to myself."
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben says. "I should not have tried to take it from you. It was not nice of me to be greedy."
+
+They hug and make up. They decide to share their minerals from now on. They learn that playing together is more fun than fighting. They also learn that minerals are fragile and need to be handled with care.
+Sara and Ben were playing hide and seek in the big field. Sara was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Sara counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw many tall plants with yellow tops. They were wheat. Sara liked wheat because it made bread and cake.
+
+Sara walked through the wheat, trying to find Ben. She heard a giggle behind her. She turned around and saw a small patch of wheat moving. She ran towards it and pulled the wheat apart. She revealed Ben, who was hiding there. Ben laughed and said, "You found me!"
+
+Sara and Ben hugged and smiled. They decided to switch roles and play again. Ben was the seeker and Sara was the hider. Ben counted to ten and then opened his eyes. He looked around and saw a big tree with green leaves. He thought Sara might be hiding behind it. He walked towards the tree, but he did not see Sara. He heard a rustle above him. He looked up and saw Sara sitting on a branch. She waved and said, "You didn't find me!"
+
+Ben and Sara laughed and climbed down the tree. They were happy and had fun. The sun was shining and the air was mild. They loved playing hide and seek in the big field.
+Lily likes to watch balloons. She likes how they float in the air and change colors. She likes to hold them and feel them bounce. She likes to make them squeak and twist.
+
+One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom. She sees a man with a big bag of balloons. He is making animals and hats and flowers with them. Lily wants a balloon too. She asks her mom if she can have one.
+
+Her mom says yes and gives the man some money. The man smiles and asks Lily what she wants. Lily thinks hard. She likes all the balloons, but she wants something special. She sees a thick balloon that is very long. She points to it and says, "That one!"
+
+The man nods and takes the thick balloon. He blows it up and ties a knot. Then he starts to bend and twist it. Lily watches with wonder. She sees the balloon turn into a dog. It has ears and a tail and a nose. It looks very cute and funny.
+
+The man gives the balloon dog to Lily. She says thank you and hugs it. She feels happy and proud. She has a new friend. She names it Spot. She walks with her mom and Spot in the park. She watches the other balloons and smiles. She loves her thick balloon dog.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the valley. They had a red bike that they took turns to ride. One day, they saw a big hill and wanted to go down it fast.
+
+"Let me go first!" Tom said. "I can speed more than you!"
+
+"No, I want to go first!" Lily said. "You always go first!"
+
+They both pulled the bike and started to fight. The bike fell down and broke. Tom and Lily were sad and angry.
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was Sam, their neighbor. He had a blue bike and a bag of cookies.
+
+"Hi, Tom and Lily," Sam said. "What are you doing?"
+
+"We were playing, but now we have no bike," Tom said.
+
+"And no cookies," Lily said.
+
+Sam looked at their bike and shook his head. "That's too bad. Do you want to share my bike and my cookies? They are very tasty."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry for fighting. They nodded and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Sam," they said. "You are very nice."
+
+They followed Sam to the hill. They took turns to ride his bike and eat his cookies. They had fun and forgot their fight. They learned to share and be kind.
+Ben likes to read big books with many words. He has a dictionary that helps him learn new words. He keeps his dictionary on his bed next to his pillow.
+
+One day, his little sister Lily comes into his room. She sees the dictionary and thinks it is a toy. She grabs it and runs away.
+
+"Hey, give that back!" Ben shouts. He runs after her, but she is too fast. She goes to the living room and throws the dictionary on the floor.
+
+"Bang!" The dictionary makes a loud noise. Mom and Dad are watching TV. They are deaf, so they do not hear the noise. But they see the dictionary on the floor and Lily laughing.
+
+"What is this?" Mom asks. She picks up the dictionary and looks at it. She sees the words and the pictures. She is angry.
+
+"Lily, this is not a toy. This is Ben's dictionary. He uses it to read and learn. You should not take it without asking. You could have broken it. You need to say sorry to Ben and give it back to him."
+
+Lily feels bad. She did not know the dictionary was important to Ben. She did not want to make him sad or angry. She goes to Ben and says sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I thought it was a toy. I did not mean to hurt it. Here, you can have it back."
+
+Ben takes the dictionary and hugs it. He is glad it is not broken. He is still mad at Lily, but he sees that she is sorry. He decides to forgive her.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. I accept your sorry. But next time, please do not take my things without asking. And please be careful with them. They are not toys. They are books. I love books. Do you want to read a book with me?"
+
+Lily nods. She likes books too, but she does not know many words. She wants to learn from Ben. She thinks he is smart and kind.
+
+"Okay, Ben. I want to read a book with you. Can you show me some words in your dictionary?"
+
+Ben smiles. He is happy to share his dictionary with Lily. He thinks she is curious and sweet. He opens the dictionary and shows her some words. They read and learn together. Mom and Dad watch them and smile. They are proud of their children. They use sign language to say "We love you". Ben and Lily see them and say "We love you too". They are a happy family.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They are very thirsty. They see a fountain with water. They run to the fountain.
+
+"Can we drink this water?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. It looks normal, but maybe it is not good," Ben says.
+
+They see a man with a dog. The man has a bottle of water. He gives some water to his dog.
+
+"Excuse me, sir. Can you give us some water, please?" Lily says.
+
+"Sure, kids. Here you go. This water is normal and clean. You can drink it," the man says.
+
+He gives them the bottle of water. They drink some water and say thank you.
+
+"Ah, this water is good. I feel better," Lily says.
+
+"Me too. Thank you, sir. Thank you, dog," Ben says.
+
+They smile and wave to the man and the dog. They go back to playing in the park. They are happy.
+Tom and Sue like to play in the garden. They dig holes and look for bugs. One day, they see a big hill of dirt. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Maybe it is a treasure!" Tom says.
+
+"Or a dragon!" Sue says.
+
+They run to the hill and start to dig. They hear a funny noise. It sounds like a snore.
+
+"Shh, maybe it is sleeping!" Sue says.
+
+They dig more and see a furry nose. It is a mole. The mole is very big and strong. It has sharp claws and teeth. It is not happy to see Tom and Sue.
+
+"Roar!" the mole says. It opens its eyes and sees the children.
+
+Tom and Sue are scared. They drop their shovels and run away. The mole chases them. It is very fast.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Sue shout.
+
+They see their dad. He is working in the shed. He hears them and comes out.
+
+"What is wrong?" he asks.
+
+"There is a mole!" Tom and Sue say. They point to the hill.
+
+Dad looks and sees the mole. He is not scared. He has a stick. He pokes the mole with the stick. The mole is surprised. It stops and looks at dad.
+
+"Go away!" dad says. He pokes the mole again.
+
+The mole does not like the stick. It turns around and runs back to the hill. It digs a hole and hides.
+
+Tom and Sue are safe. They hug their dad.
+
+"Thank you, dad!" they say.
+
+"You are welcome, kids!" dad says. "But next time, be careful. Some animals do not like to be disturbed."
+
+Tom and Sue nod. They have learned their lesson. They do not dig the mole's hill anymore. They play with their toys instead. They are happy. The mole is happy too. It sleeps in its hole. It does not snore anymore.
+Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Velvet. Velvet had a soft dress and long hair. Anna liked to brush her hair and make her look pretty.
+
+One day, Anna's mom said they had to go to the store. Anna wanted to take Velvet with her. She asked her mom, "Can I bring Velvet, please?" Her mom said, "Yes, you can, but you have to be careful. Don't let her get dirty or lost."
+
+Anna was happy. She put Velvet in her backpack and got ready to go. She held her mom's hand as they walked to the store. She saw many things on the way. She saw cars, birds, flowers, and people. She wanted to show Velvet everything.
+
+At the store, Anna's mom let her pick a snack. Anna chose a cookie. She wanted to share it with Velvet. She opened her backpack and took out Velvet. She broke the cookie in half and gave one piece to Velvet. She said, "Here, Velvet, this is for you. You are a good doll."
+
+But then, a big dog came running. The dog saw Velvet and thought she was a toy. The dog barked and jumped on Anna. He grabbed Velvet in his mouth and ran away. Anna was scared and sad. She cried, "No, no, no! Give me back my Velvet!"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Oh, no, I'm sorry, Anna. That was a bad dog. He should not have taken your Velvet. Let's go and find him. Maybe we can get your Velvet back."
+
+They ran after the dog. They saw him in a park. He was playing with Velvet. He was biting her and pulling her hair. He made her dress dirty and rough. Anna was angry and sad. She said, "Stop it, stop it, stop it! You are hurting my Velvet! She is not your toy!"
+
+Her mom said, "Be careful, Anna. The dog might bite you. Let me try to get your Velvet." She walked slowly to the dog. She said, "Good dog, good dog. Can you please give me the doll? She is not yours. She belongs to Anna. She loves her very much."
+
+The dog looked at her mom. He wagged his tail. He dropped Velvet on the ground. He licked her mom's hand. He said, "Woof, woof, woof." He was sorry. He did not know Velvet was Anna's doll. He thought she was a toy.
+
+Her mom picked up Velvet. She gave her to Anna. She said, "Here, Anna, here is your Velvet. She is a bit dirty and rough, but she is still your Velvet. You can wash her and fix her later. Are you happy now?"
+
+Anna hugged Velvet. She said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, dog. I'm happy now. I still love my Velvet. She is my favorite doll." She smiled and kissed Velvet. She said, "You are a good doll, Velvet. You are brave and strong. I'm sorry the dog hurt you. I will make you look pretty again."
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play outside in the sunshine. One day, they see an enormous balloon in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. It looks like a rainbow.
+
+"Wow, look at that balloon!" Tom says. "It is so big and pretty!"
+
+"Can we go and touch it?" Lily asks. "I want to see how it feels."
+
+Tom shakes his head. "No, we can't. It is too high and far. We can only watch it."
+
+They watch the balloon as it floats over the trees and houses. They wonder who is inside it and where it is going. They imagine they are flying with it, seeing the world from above.
+
+The balloon gets smaller and smaller as it moves away. Tom and Lily wave goodbye to it. They hope it will come back someday.
+
+They run to the swings and slide. They have fun in the sunshine. They are happy.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They had to run after it and bring it back.
+
+One time, the ball rolled very far, behind some bushes. Lila and Ben ran after it, but they stopped when they saw something big and orange. It was a tiger! The tiger was lying on the grass, licking its paws. It looked at Lila and Ben with its yellow eyes.
+
+Lila and Ben were scared. They wanted to run away, but they did not want to leave their ball. The ball was their favorite toy. They whispered to each other.
+
+"What do we do?" Lila asked.
+
+"Maybe we can get the ball without the tiger seeing us," Ben said.
+
+"But what if the tiger sees us and chases us?" Lila said.
+
+"Then we run very fast and scream for help," Ben said.
+
+They made a promise to each other. They promised to be brave and stick together. They crept closer to the ball, trying to be quiet. The tiger did not seem to notice them. They reached the ball and grabbed it.
+
+But then the tiger lifted its head and roared. It was loud and scary. Lila and Ben dropped the ball and ran away. They ran back to the park, where their mom was waiting for them. They told her what happened.
+
+"Wow, you saw a tiger?" Mom said. "That's very rare. You are lucky it did not hurt you. Where did the tiger come from?"
+
+Lila and Ben did not know. They guessed it escaped from the zoo. They were glad they were safe. They hugged their mom and each other. They kept their promise. They were brave and stuck together.
+Sara liked to play with her mom's makeup. She liked to put it on her face and pretend she was a princess. But one day, she was too lazy to put the makeup back in the box. She left it on the floor and went to watch TV.
+
+Tommy was Sara's little brother. He liked to play with his cars and trucks. He liked to make them go fast and crash. But one day, he saw the makeup on the floor. He thought it was paint. He took it and used it to repair his cars and trucks. He made them red and blue and green and pink.
+
+Mom came home and saw the mess. She was very angry. She saw the makeup on the floor and on Tommy's cars and trucks. She saw the makeup on Sara's face and on the couch. She said, "Sara, Tommy, what did you do? You ruined my makeup and made a big mess. You are both in trouble."
+
+Sara and Tommy felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to make you angry. We were just playing." Mom said, "Playing is good, but you have to be careful and respectful. Makeup is not for playing. It is for Mom. And you have to clean up after yourself. You cannot be lazy. Now, help me clean this mess and then go to your rooms."
+
+Sara and Tommy helped Mom clean the mess. They threw away the makeup and wiped the couch. They washed their faces and their cars and trucks. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you." Mom said, "I love you too, but you have to learn from your mistakes. Next time, ask me before you use my things. And next time, put your things away when you are done. OK?" Sara and Tommy said, "OK, Mom." They hugged Mom and went to their rooms. They learned their lesson.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They share a room and a bed. Every morning, they wake up when the sun comes in the window. They like to play and talk before they get up.
+
+One day, they wake up very early. It is still dark outside. They see a long shadow on the wall. It looks like a monster. They are scared.
+
+"Ben, what is that?" Lily whispers.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a bad thing. Maybe it wants to eat us." Ben whispers back.
+
+They hide under the blanket. They hope the monster will go away.
+
+But the shadow does not move. It stays on the wall. Ben and Lily are very quiet. They do not want to make any noise.
+
+Then they hear a sound. It is their dad. He is in the hall. He is looking for something.
+
+"Where is my hat?" he says. "I need it for work."
+
+He opens the door of their room. He turns on the light.
+
+Ben and Lily see the shadow on the wall. It is not a monster. It is their dad's hat. He left it on the lamp.
+
+They laugh. They are not scared anymore.
+
+"Dad, you made a monster!" Ben says.
+
+"A monster? Where?" their dad says.
+
+He looks at the wall. He sees his hat. He laughs too.
+
+"Oops, sorry. I did not mean to scare you. It is just my hat. I forgot it last night." he says.
+
+He picks up his hat. He gives Ben and Lily a hug.
+
+"Good morning, my little ones. Are you ready for breakfast?" he says.
+
+They nod. They get out of bed. They follow their dad to the kitchen.
+
+They are happy. They are not in trouble. They had a long and funny adventure.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the big park near their home. One day, they see a new slide in the park. It is very tall and shiny. Anna and Ben want to try it.
+
+They run to the slide and climb the ladder. Anna goes first. She sits on the slide and slides down very fast. She laughs and says, "This is fun! Come on, Ben!"
+
+Ben follows Anna. He sits on the slide and slides down too. But he slides too fast and bumps his head on the exit. He cries and says, "Ow! This hurts!"
+
+Anna hears Ben and runs to him. She hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "I'm okay. But I don't like this slide. It is too fast and hard."
+
+Anna says, "Me too. Let's go to the swings. They are more fun and soft."
+
+Ben agrees and says, "Okay. You are wise, Anna. You know what is good."
+
+They hold hands and walk to the swings. They swing high and low and smile. They are happy and forget about the slide. They love to play in the park.
+Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play together. One day, they decided to visit the cliff near their house. The cliff was high and had many rocks and flowers.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a pretty flower!" Anna said, holding a yellow daisy. "Do you want it?"
+
+Ben smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Anna. You are very generous. I will give you something too."
+
+He looked around and saw a shiny stone. He picked it up and gave it to Anna. "Here, this is for you. It is very sparkly."
+
+Anna gasped and took the stone. "Wow, Ben, this is beautiful. Thank you very much. You are also very generous."
+
+They hugged and put their gifts in their pockets. Then they continued to explore the cliff. They saw a bird, a butterfly, and a rainbow. They had a lot of fun. They were happy.
+Lily and Max liked to play race with their bikes. They had red and blue bikes that were fast and shiny. They rode on the sidewalk and around the park. They laughed and shouted as they raced each other.
+
+One day, they saw a big truck on the road. It had a lot of boxes and bags on it. The truck stopped near the park and a man got out. He opened the back of the truck and started to take out the boxes and bags.
+
+"Look, Max, what is in the truck?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, Lily, maybe toys or clothes or books," Max said.
+
+They got off their bikes and walked closer to the truck. They wanted to see what was in the boxes and bags. They were curious and lively.
+
+The man did not see them. He was busy and tired. He took out a big box and put it on the ground. Then he went back to the truck to get another one.
+
+Lily and Max saw the big box. It had a picture of a magic hat and a wand on it. They thought it looked fun and cool.
+
+"Let's see what is in the box, Lily," Max said.
+
+"Okay, Max, but be careful," Lily said.
+
+They opened the box and found a magic hat and a wand inside. They also found a book with pictures and words. They did not know what the words said, but they liked the pictures.
+
+"Wow, Max, this is a magic box. We can do magic with the hat and the wand," Lily said.
+
+"Let's try it, Lily. Maybe we can make something disappear," Max said.
+
+He put the hat on his head and held the wand in his hand. He pointed the wand at Lily and said, "Abracadabra, Lily, disappear!"
+
+Lily did not disappear. She just giggled and said, "Max, that is not how you do magic. You have to say the words in the book."
+
+She picked up the book and looked at a page. She saw a picture of a rabbit and a word. She did not know what the word said, but she tried to say it anyway.
+
+She pointed the wand at the box and said, "Hocus pocus, rabbit, appear!"
+
+Suddenly, a white rabbit popped out of the box. It was fluffy and cute. It hopped out of the box and ran away.
+
+Lily and Max were surprised and happy. They had done magic. They had made a rabbit appear.
+
+They chased the rabbit around the park. They wanted to catch it and pet it. They forgot about the truck and the man and their bikes.
+
+The man finished taking out the boxes and bags. He closed the back of the truck and got in. He did not see Lily and Max and the rabbit. He drove away.
+
+Lily and Max did not see the truck and the man. They only saw the rabbit. They followed it to the other side of the park.
+
+When they got there, they saw their bikes. They had left them on the sidewalk. They were still fast and shiny.
+
+But they also saw something else. They saw two other kids on their bikes. They had green and yellow bikes that were slow and dull. They looked bored and sad.
+
+They saw Lily and Max and the rabbit. They smiled and waved.
+
+"Hi, Lily and Max, who is your friend?" one of them asked.
+
+"This is our rabbit. We made him appear with magic," Lily said.
+
+"Wow, that is amazing. Can we see your magic hat and wand?" the other one asked.
+
+"Sure, they are in the box over there," Max said.
+
+They ran to the box. They wanted to show their magic hat and wand. They wanted to share their magic with the other kids.
+
+But when they got to the box, they saw nothing. The box was empty. The magic hat and wand were gone. They had disappeared.
+
+Lily and Max were confused and sad. They had lost their magic. They did not know what happened.
+
+They looked around. They saw the rabbit. It was still fluffy and cute. It hopped back to the box. It looked at them and winked.
+
+Then it jumped into the box and disappeared.
+
+Lily and Max were amazed and happy. They had seen their magic. They had seen their rabbit.
+
+They laughed and clapped. They did not mind that their magic hat and wand were gone. They still had their bikes and their friends.
+
+They got on their bikes and rode with the other kids. They played race again. They were lively and fun.
+
+They did not forget their magic. They did not forget their rabbit. They knew they were special and lucky.
+
+They hoped to see their rabbit again. They hoped to do more magic.
+
+They were happy.
+Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new places. One day, she saw a big cross on a hill far away from her house. She wondered what it was and who put it there. She asked her mom if she could go and see it, but her mom said no.
+
+"It is too far and too dangerous, Lily. You have to stay here and play with your toys. Maybe we can go there another day," her mom said.
+
+But Lily did not want to wait. She wanted to go now. She tried to resist her mom's words and sneak out of the house. She put on her shoes and her hat and grabbed her backpack. She thought her mom was busy in the kitchen and did not see her.
+
+She was wrong. Her mom saw her and ran after her. She caught her by the hand and stopped her.
+
+"Lily, where are you going? You can't go to the cross by yourself. It is not safe. There are cars and dogs and strangers on the way. You have to listen to me and stay here," her mom said.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to see the cross so badly. She did not understand why her mom was so mean. She tried to pull her hand away and run, but her mom held her tight.
+
+"Please, mom, let me go. I want to see the cross. I want to be adventurous. I want to have fun," Lily said.
+
+Her mom hugged her and kissed her. She said, "I know, Lily, I know. But you are too little to go there alone. You can be adventurous in other ways. You can draw the cross, or read a story about it, or pretend you are there with your dolls. You can have fun here with me. I love you, Lily. I want you to be happy and safe."
+
+Lily looked at her mom and saw her smile. She felt her love and warmth. She realized her mom was not mean, but caring. She said, "I love you too, mom. I'm sorry I tried to run away. I will stay here and play with you. Maybe we can go to the cross together someday."
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Maybe we can, Lily. Maybe we can." They went back to the house and played with the toys. Lily forgot about the cross for a while. She was happy and safe.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they have grapes for snack. Sara has a big bunch of grapes. Ben has a small bunch of grapes.
+
+Ben looks at Sara's grapes. He wants more grapes. He asks Sara, "Can I have some of your grapes, please?" Sara says, "No, these are my grapes. You have your own grapes." Ben feels sad and angry. He thinks Sara is not nice.
+
+Sara eats her grapes. She does not share with Ben. She thinks Ben is greedy. She feels happy and proud. She has more grapes than Ben.
+
+But then, Sara starts to feel uncomfortable. Her tummy hurts. She ate too many grapes. She feels sick. She wishes she had shared with Ben. She thinks Ben is a good friend.
+
+Ben sees Sara's face. He sees she is in pain. He feels sorry for Sara. He says, "Are you okay, Sara? Do you want some of my grapes? I can share with you." Sara says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. I am sorry I did not share with you. Can we be friends again?" Ben says, "Yes, we can be friends again. Here, have some of my grapes. They are sweet and juicy." Sara smiles. She feels better. She shares her grapes with Ben. They both enjoy the snack. They are happy and grateful. They learn to share.
+Tim and Kim like to play with their net. They use it to catch bugs and frogs in the garden. They tie the net to a stick and swing it around. They laugh and shout when they see something lively in the net.
+
+One day, they see a big bird in a tree. It has bright feathers and a long tail. They want to catch it with their net. They sneak up to the tree and throw the net over the bird. The bird flaps and squawks. It tries to get out of the net.
+
+"Look, we caught a bird!" Tim says.
+
+"Let's take it home and keep it as a pet!" Kim says.
+
+They pull the net down from the tree. But the bird is very strong and angry. It bites Tim's hand with its sharp beak. Tim screams and drops the net. The bird flies away, leaving a hole in the net.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim cries.
+
+"Tim, are you okay?" Kim asks.
+
+"No, it hurts!" Tim says.
+
+They run back to the house, holding Tim's hand. Their mom sees them and gets worried. She takes Tim to the doctor. The doctor says Tim needs a shot and a bandage. Tim hates shots. He cries more.
+
+Kim feels sorry for Tim. She wishes they never tried to catch the bird. She thinks the bird is happier in the tree. She says sorry to Tim and hugs him. But Tim is still mad at her. He does not want to play with her or the net anymore. He says the net is bad and the bird is mean. He says Kim is not his friend. Kim is sad. She does not know how to make Tim happy again. She misses playing with him and the net. She hopes he will forgive her soon.
+Anna and Ben were bored. They had no toys to play with in their room. They only had a big bed, a closet and a window with a curtain.
+
+"Let's imagine something fun," Anna said to Ben. "We can pretend the curtain is a magic door to another world."
+
+"OK," Ben said. "But where do we go?"
+
+Anna thought for a moment. She looked at the curtain. It was blue and white, with flowers and stars. She had an idea.
+
+"Let's go to a new place, where everything is blue and white, like the curtain. Maybe there are snowflakes and ice cream and fluffy clouds."
+
+"That sounds cool," Ben said. "How do we get there?"
+
+Anna grabbed Ben's hand and pulled him to the window. She opened the curtain and said, "Ready, set, go!"
+
+They jumped through the curtain and landed on a soft, white pillow. They looked around and saw that they were in a new place, just like Anna imagined. There were snowflakes falling from the sky, ice cream cones on the ground and fluffy clouds floating by.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing," Ben said. "Look, there's a snowman over there. Let's go say hi."
+
+They ran to the snowman and greeted him. He had a carrot nose, a scarf and a hat. He smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Frosty. Welcome to my world. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+"Yes, please," Anna and Ben said. They played with Frosty and had a lot of fun. They made snow angels, threw snowballs and ate ice cream. They forgot about their boring room and their old curtain. They only saw the new place and their new friend. They imagined and they were happy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the park. Today it is cold and windy. They wear jackets and hats to keep warm.
+
+They run and jump and slide on the grass. They see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. The dog barks loud. Tom and Mia are scared. They run away from the dog.
+
+They find a bench near a fountain. They sit on the bench and drink water from their bottles. They are thirsty and tired. They drink and drink until their bottles are empty.
+
+They see a lady with a leash. The lady is the dog's owner. She calls the dog. The dog runs to her. The lady says sorry to Tom and Mia. She says the dog is friendly and just wants to play.
+
+Tom and Mia are not scared anymore. They smile and wave to the lady and the dog. They put on their jackets and hats again. They hold hands and walk home. They are happy. They had fun in the park.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big tree in their yard with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+One day, the weather was sunny and warm. Tom and Lily put on their hats and shoes and ran to the tree. They held each other's hands and started to climb. They were careful not to step on the fragile leaves and twigs that could break.
+
+They climbed higher and higher until they reached a big branch. They sat on the branch and looked around. They saw birds and clouds and flowers. They felt the breeze and the sun on their faces. They were happy and proud.
+
+They heard their mom call them for lunch. They waved to her and said they would come down soon. They hugged each other and thanked the tree for letting them climb. They slid down the trunk and ran to the house. They told their mom about their adventure and ate their sandwiches. They said they would climb the tree again another day.
+Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big book in their room. It had many pictures and words in it. Mia wanted to look at the book, but Ben wanted to play with his cars.
+
+"Let me see the book, Ben!" Mia said.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben said. "You can play with your dolls."
+
+Mia was sad and angry. She tried to take the book from Ben, but he held it tight. They started to pull and tug at the book. They did not see that the book was old and weak.
+
+Suddenly, the book tore in half. Mia and Ben gasped. They saw that the book was full of stories and poems. They saw that the book was their grandma's. She had given it to them before she went to heaven. She had said that the book had a lot of wisdom in it.
+
+Mia and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They had broken their grandma's book. They did not know what to do. They hugged each other and cried.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to their room. She saw the book and the tears. She was not angry. She was sad and kind.
+
+"It's okay, my loves," she said. "I know you did not mean to hurt the book. Grandma loved you very much. She wanted you to learn from the book. She wanted you to have fun with the book. She wanted you to share the book."
+
+She took the book and put it on the table. She got some tape and scissors. She helped Mia and Ben to fix the book. She showed them how to read some of the words and how to enjoy some of the pictures. She told them some of the stories and poems that grandma had told her.
+
+Mia and Ben listened and smiled. They felt happy and warm. They learned some new words and some new things. They thanked their mom and hugged her.
+
+They decided to share the book and play with it together. They also decided to share their toys and play with them together. They clapped their hands and laughed.
+
+They smelled something delicious from the kitchen. It was their dad's chocolate cake. He had baked it for them as a surprise. He came to their room and saw the book and the smiles.
+
+He was proud and happy. He said, "You are such good children. You have learned a lot today. You have learned how to fix a mistake, how to respect a gift, and how to love each other. You have shown a lot of wisdom. Now, let's go and have some cake!"
+
+Mia and Ben nodded and cheered. They followed their dad and their mom to the kitchen. They ate the cake and it was delicious. They felt full and happy. They had a good day.
+Anna is a big girl. She likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She does not need help from Mom or Dad.
+
+One day, Anna wants to wear her new dress. It is pink and has flowers. She loves it. She takes it from the closet and tries to put it on. But it is too small. It does not fit. She feels sad and angry.
+
+She goes to Mom and says, "Mom, this dress does not fit. It is too small. I want to wear it. It is my favorite."
+
+Mom looks at the dress and says, "Oh, Anna, this dress is not yours. It is your sister's. She is smaller than you. That is why it does not fit. Your dress is in the drawer. It is blue and has stars. It is very pretty. Do you want to wear it?"
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She likes the blue dress too. It has stars. She likes stars. She says, "Okay, Mom. I will wear the blue dress. It fits me. It is mine. Thank you, Mom."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "You are welcome, Anna. You are a good girl. You are independent. But sometimes, it is okay to ask for help. I love you, Anna."
+
+Anna hugs Mom and says, "I love you too, Mom. You are the best."
+Tom and Mia are playing hide and seek in the park. Tom is the seeker and Mia is the hider. Mia runs to a big tree and hides behind it. She thinks Tom will not find her there.
+
+Tom counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looks around the park and tries to find Mia. He sees a swing, a slide, a bench, and a pond. He does not see Mia.
+
+He walks to the big tree and hears a giggle. He thinks it is Mia. He sneaks to the back of the tree and peeks. He sees Mia's foot sticking out. He says, "I found you, Mia!"
+
+Mia is surprised and jumps out. She says, "You peeked, Tom! That's not fair!"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, I peeked. That's how you play hide and seek. You have to peek to find the hider."
+
+Mia says, "No, you don't. You have to follow the order. The order is you count, you look, and you find. You don't peek. Peeking is cheating."
+
+Tom says, "No, it's not. Peeking is smart. You are just a sore loser."
+
+Mia says, "No, you are a bad friend. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+She runs away from Tom and goes to the pond. She is angry and sad. She does not see the sign that says, "Do not feed the ducks." She does not see the ducks that are swimming in the pond. She is careless.
+
+She throws a rock into the pond. The rock hits a duck. The duck is hurt and angry. It quacks loudly and flies out of the pond. It chases Mia and bites her. Mia screams and cries. She runs back to Tom and asks for help.
+
+But Tom is not there. He has left the park. He is mad at Mia and does not want to help her. He thinks she is a bad friend. He does not care about her.
+
+Mia is alone and hurt. She wishes she had not peeked. She wishes she had not thrown the rock. She wishes she had not lost Tom. She wishes she had played nice. But it is too late. She has no friend and no fun. She has a bad ending.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big red car outside their house. It was shiny and had four doors. They wanted to go inside and pretend to drive.
+
+"Let's go, Max!" Lily said. "We can have fun in the car!"
+
+"No, Lily," Max said. "Mom said we can't go in the car. It's not ours. We have to listen to Mom."
+
+But Lily did not listen to Max. She ran to the car and opened the door. She climbed in and sat on the driver's seat. She grabbed the wheel and made vroom-vroom noises.
+
+"Come on, Max!" Lily said. "Don't be scared. It's just a car!"
+
+Max was scared. He knew Mom would be angry if they went in the car. He also saw a man walking towards the car. He looked like the owner of the car. He looked angry too.
+
+"Please, Lily, get out of the car!" Max said. "The man is coming. He will be mad at us!"
+
+But Lily did not listen to Max. She was having too much fun in the car. She pressed some buttons and turned on the radio. She heard a song she liked and started to sing along.
+
+The man reached the car and saw Lily and Max. He was very mad. He opened the door and pulled Lily out of the car. He yelled at them and told them to go away. He said they were naughty and rude.
+
+Lily and Max were scared and sorry. They ran back to their house and cried. Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. They told her what they did and how the man yelled at them. Mom was disappointed and sad. She hugged them and said they had to learn to listen and respect other people's things.
+
+She made them some cookies and milk to cheer them up. The cookies were delicious and the milk was cold. Lily and Max ate them and said thank you to Mom. They said they were sorry and they would listen better next time. Mom smiled and said she loved them. She said they could play with their own toys and have fun. Lily and Max agreed and went to their room. They played with their dolls and cars and had fun. They learned their lesson and never went in other people's cars again.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to slide, swing and run. But Lily had a problem. She needed to go to the toilet. She told Tom, but he did not listen. He was busy with his truck.
+
+"Tom, I need to go to the toilet. Can you come with me?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not now, Lily. I am making a road. You can go by yourself. The toilet is over there." Tom pointed.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not like to go to the toilet by herself. She thought there might be monsters or spiders in there. She wished Tom would come with her. But he did not. He kept playing with his truck.
+
+Lily tried to hold it, but she could not. She felt a wet spot on her pants. She was ashamed. She started to weep. She ran to the toilet, hoping no one would see her.
+
+But someone did see her. It was Ben, the big boy from the other side of the park. He was rough and mean. He liked to tease and bully the smaller kids. He saw Lily's wet pants and her tears. He laughed at her.
+
+"Ha ha, look at Lily. She peed her pants. She is a baby. She needs a diaper. Ha ha." Ben said.
+
+Lily felt worse. She wanted to hide. She wanted Tom. She wanted her mom. She wept louder.
+
+Tom heard Lily's weep. He looked up from his truck. He saw Ben laughing at Lily. He felt bad. He knew he should have gone with her. He was her friend. He did not like Ben. He was not nice.
+
+Tom got up and ran to Lily. He pushed Ben away.
+
+"Leave Lily alone. She is not a baby. She is my friend. You are mean. Go away." Tom said.
+
+Ben was surprised. He did not expect Tom to stand up for Lily. He was bigger than Tom. He could hurt him. But he saw Tom's angry face. He saw Lily's sad face. He felt a little sorry. He did not want to fight. He ran away.
+
+Tom hugged Lily. He said he was sorry. He said he would go with her to the toilet next time. He said he would help her clean her pants. He said he would share his truck with her.
+
+Lily smiled. She said thank you. She said she was glad Tom was her friend. She said she liked his truck.
+
+They went to the toilet together. They cleaned Lily's pants. They played with Tom's truck. They had fun. They did not weep anymore.
+Tommy was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of cars and trucks and trains that he could make noises with. He also had a big teddy bear that he hugged when he was sleepy.
+
+One day, Tommy's mommy had to go to work. She was a lawyer, which meant she talked to people and helped them with problems. She told Tommy to be good and listen to the babysitter, who was a nice lady named Anna.
+
+But Tommy did not like Anna. He thought she was stupid and boring. She did not let him watch TV or eat candy. She made him do puzzles and read books. She also moved his toys and put them in a box.
+
+Tommy got very angry and decided to make a plan. He waited until Anna was in the kitchen, and then he took his teddy bear and hid under the bed. He wanted to scare Anna and make her go away.
+
+When Anna came back to the room, she saw that Tommy was gone. She looked around and called his name, but he did not answer. She started to get worried and looked under the bed. She saw Tommy's teddy bear and reached for it.
+
+But Tommy was waiting. He jumped out and screamed as loud as he could. He hoped Anna would be scared and run away. But Anna was not scared. She was mad. She grabbed Tommy and pulled him out. She scolded him and told him he was very naughty. She said she would tell his mommy what he did.
+
+Tommy felt bad. He realized his plan was not good. He said he was sorry and hugged his teddy bear. He wished his mommy would come home soon. He did not like Anna. He did not like being a lawyer. He liked being a little boy who played with his toys.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the library. They like to look at the books with many colors and pictures. They also like to make noises with their mouths and hands.
+
+One day, they find a big shelf with many books. They want to see what is inside the books. They climb on the shelf and pull the books. But the shelf is not strong. It starts to shake and bend.
+
+"Look, Anna, this book has a lion!" Ben says. He shows Anna the book with a loud roar.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that is a big lion!" Anna says. She shows Ben another book with a loud meow.
+
+They make more noises with the books. They do not see that the shelf is breaking. They do not hear the librarian coming.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" the librarian says. She is angry. She wants the children to be quiet and careful.
+
+But it is too late. The shelf snaps. The books fall. Anna and Ben fall too. They land on the floor with a loud thud.
+
+"Ouch!" Anna and Ben say. They are scared and hurt. They cry.
+
+The librarian runs to them. She is worried. She helps them get up. She checks if they are okay.
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Anna and Ben say. They are sorry. They did not mean to break the shelf and the books.
+
+The librarian hugs them. She is not angry anymore. She is glad they are not badly hurt.
+
+"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!" the librarian says. She is kind. She tells them to be more careful next time. She gives them a band-aid and a sticker.
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They say thank you. They learn a lesson. They do not climb on the shelf anymore. They do not make loud noises anymore. They read the books quietly and nicely. They are good children.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to study new things. They have a big book with many pictures and words. They look at the book every day and learn new words.
+
+One day, they go for a walk with Lily's mom. They see a big sign on the road. The sign has many colors and letters. Lily and Tom are curious. They ask Lily's mom, "What is that?"
+
+Lily's mom says, "That is a billboard. It is a sign that tells people something. Sometimes it tells people to buy something, or to go somewhere, or to do something."
+
+Lily and Tom look at the billboard. They see a picture of a cat. The cat has two heads, four eyes, and six legs. The billboard says, "See the unique cat at the zoo!"
+
+Lily and Tom are amazed. They say, "Wow! That is a unique cat! We have never seen a cat like that! Can we go to the zoo and see the cat?"
+
+Lily's mom smiles. She says, "Sure, we can go to the zoo and see the cat. But first, we have to finish our walk and go home. Then we can study more words in our book. Maybe we can find the word 'unique' in our book. Do you know what 'unique' means?"
+
+Lily and Tom think hard. They say, "Unique means... different? Special? Not like others?"
+
+Lily's mom nods. She says, "That's right. Unique means something that is very different and special. Like the cat on the billboard. Or like you and me. We are all unique and wonderful."
+
+Lily and Tom smile. They say, "We like to be unique. And we like to study new things. And we like to see the cat at the zoo. Thank you, mom!"
+
+Lily's mom hugs them. She says, "You're welcome, my unique and wonderful children. I love you very much."

+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a dog barking. The dog had seen them under the log and wanted to play. The dog ran towards the log and tried to fit under it. But the log was too small for the dog. The dog pushed the log with his nose and made it roll over.

+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We're sorry, mom. We won't crawl under logs anymore. We'll just look for beautiful flowers instead." Their mom smiled and said, "That's a good idea. Let's go and find some beautiful flowers together." They walked away from the log and the dog, holding hands and looking for beautiful flowers.
+Ben and his uncle went to the park at night. Ben liked the park. He liked the swings and the slide and the grass. He also liked the stars in the sky. They were bright and shiny.
+
+"Look, uncle, look!" Ben said, pointing at the sky. "What are those?"
+
+"Those are fireflies, Ben," his uncle said. "They are little bugs that glow. They make their own light. Do you want to catch some?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben said, jumping up and down. He ran after the fireflies, trying to catch them in his hands. He was very happy.
+
+His uncle followed him with a jar. He helped Ben catch some fireflies and put them in the jar. He made some holes in the lid so they could breathe.
+
+"Wow, uncle, wow!" Ben said, holding the jar. "They are so pretty. They are like stars in a jar."
+
+"Yes, they are, Ben," his uncle said, smiling. "But we have to let them go soon. They belong to the sky, not to the jar. They need to be free and fly with their friends."
+
+"Okay, uncle, okay," Ben said, nodding. He understood. He loved the fireflies, but he did not want to hurt them. He wanted them to be happy.
+
+They walked back to the car, holding the jar. Ben looked at the fireflies one last time. He said goodbye to them. He opened the lid and let them go. They flew away, glowing in the dark.
+
+"Thank you, uncle, thank you," Ben said, hugging his uncle. "That was fun. I like fireflies. They are clean and bright and nice."
+
+"You're welcome, Ben, you're welcome," his uncle said, hugging him back. "I like fireflies too. And I like you. You are clean and bright and nice too."
+Tom liked to sail. He had a small boat that he made from a box and a stick. He painted it blue and white and put a flag on it. He sailed his boat in the bathtub, in the pond, and sometimes in the rain.
+
+One day, Tom wanted to sail his boat in the garage. He asked his mom if he could. His mom said, "Why do you want to sail in the garage? There is no water there."
+
+Tom said, "I want to pretend that the garage is the ocean. I want to see what is in the ocean. Maybe I can find fish or treasure or pirates."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "That sounds like fun. But be careful, the garage is not a normal place to sail. There are many things that can hurt you or your boat. Don't touch the tools, the wires, or the car. And don't go too far from the door."
+
+Tom said, "OK, mom. I will be careful. Thank you for letting me sail in the garage."
+
+Tom took his boat and went to the garage. He put his boat on the floor and pushed it with his hand. He made sounds like the wind and the waves. He imagined that he was sailing in the ocean. He saw fish of different colors and shapes. He saw treasure chests full of gold and jewels. He saw pirates with hooks and hats. He had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, he heard a loud noise. It was his dad coming home in his car. Tom was scared. He grabbed his boat and ran to the door. He opened the door and saw his mom. She hugged him and said, "Are you OK, Tom? I heard the noise. Did you have fun sailing in the garage?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, mom. I had fun. But I don't want to sail in the garage anymore. It is not a normal place to sail. It is too loud and scary. I want to sail in the bathtub or the pond or the rain. They are more normal places to sail."
+
+His mom said, "I understand, Tom. The garage is not a normal place to sail. But I'm glad you used your imagination and had fun. Maybe next time, you can sail somewhere else. How about we go to the park and sail your boat in the lake?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, mom. That sounds like fun. I love to sail. Can we go now?"
+
+His mom said, "Sure, Tom. Let's go. But first, let's say hello to your dad. He is in the garage. He wants to see your boat."
+
+Tom said, "OK, mom. Let's go. Maybe dad will like my boat. Maybe he will want to sail with me."
+
+Tom and his mom went to the garage. They saw his dad. He was smiling. He said, "Hello, Tom. Hello, mom. I saw your boat, Tom. It is very nice. Did you make it yourself?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, dad. I made it from a box and a stick. I painted it blue and white and put a flag on it. Do you like it?"
+
+His dad said, "I love it, Tom. It is a very good boat. Can I sail with you?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, dad. You can sail with me. But not in the garage. In the park. In the lake. It is a normal place to sail. And it is more fun."
+
+His dad said, "OK, Tom. Let's go to the park. Let's go to the lake. Let's sail together."
+
+Tom said, "Yay, dad. Let's go. Let's sail. I'm happy."
+
+Tom and his mom and his dad went to the park. They went to the lake. They sailed Tom's boat. They had fun. They were happy.
+Lily liked to sing. She sang every day, when she woke up, when she played, when she ate, and when she went to bed. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs, and made-up songs. She sang to her toys, her mom, her dad, and her cat.
+
+One day, Lily found a stitch in her dress. It was a red stitch on a blue dress. She did not like it. It made her dress look ordinary. She wanted her dress to be special, like her songs. She asked her mom, "Mom, can you take off this stitch? I don't want it on my dress."
+
+Her mom looked at the stitch and smiled. She said, "Lily, this stitch is not ordinary. It is a magic stitch. It makes your dress sing with you. When you sing, your dress sings too. It makes your songs more beautiful and fun. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+Lily was curious. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to hear it. How does it work?"
+
+Her mom said, "All you have to do is sing a song, and your dress will join you. Try it now."
+
+Lily thought of a song she liked. She sang, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are." As she sang, her dress started to glow and sparkle. It also sang with her, in a soft and sweet voice. Lily was amazed. She sang louder and faster, and her dress followed her. She felt like a star herself.
+
+She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom, for the magic stitch. I love it. It makes my dress and my songs special. Can I keep it forever?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, Lily, you can keep it forever. As long as you sing, your dress will sing with you. And I will always love to hear your songs."

+
+"Not now, sweetie. Mom is busy. Please sit and watch TV. I will be done soon," Mom says.
+
+Tim and Jen sit on the couch. They watch TV. But they are bored. They want to play. They look at their toys on the floor. They see their big red ball. They see their teddy bears. They see their blocks.
+
+"Let's play with the ball," Jen whispers to Tim.
+
+"OK," Tim whispers back.
+
+They get off the couch. They sneak to the ball. They pick it up. They throw it to each other. They laugh. They have fun.
+
+But they do not see Mom. Mom is in the kitchen. She is cutting carrots. She has a big knife. She hears Tim and Jen laugh. She turns around. She sees them playing with the ball.
+
+"Tim! Jen! Stop!" Mom yells.
+
+But it is too late. The ball flies in the air. It hits Mom's nose. Mom drops the knife. She screams. She holds her nose. Blood comes out.
+
+Tim and Jen are scared. They drop the ball. They run to Mom.
+
+"Mom! Mom! Are you OK?" they cry.
+
+Mom is not OK. She is hurt. She is angry. She is sad.
+
+"Look what you did! You hurt Mom's nose! You did not listen to Mom! You were bad!" Mom says.
+
+Tim and Jen are sorry. They hug Mom. They say sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Mom. We love you, Mom," they say.
+
+Mom hugs them back. She says sorry too.
+
+"Sorry, Mom yelled at you. Sorry, Mom was busy. Mom loves you too," she says.
+
+They go to the bathroom. They clean Mom's nose. They put a band-aid on it. They go back to the living room. They sit on the couch. They watch TV. They do not play with the ball. They wait for Dad to come home. They hope he will not be mad. They hope he will not see Mom's nose.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to climb. They climbed on chairs, on tables, on beds, on trees. They wanted to climb on everything they saw. One day, they saw a big yellow taxi parked outside their house. They ran to it and opened the door.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "It has a wheel, and buttons, and a radio!"
+
+"Let's climb inside!" Ben said. "Maybe we can drive it!"
+
+They climbed inside the taxi and shut the door. They played with the wheel, the buttons, and the radio. They pretended they were going to amazing places. They did not see their mom coming out of the house.
+
+"Where are Lily and Ben?" their mom asked. She looked around and saw the taxi. She ran to it and opened the door. She was very angry.
+
+"Lily and Ben, what are you doing?" she yelled. "This is not your taxi! This is someone else's taxi! You could have broken it or hurt yourself!"
+
+She pulled them out of the taxi and scolded them. She said they were very naughty and they had to go to their room. She said they could not climb on anything for a week. She said they had to say sorry to the taxi driver.
+
+Lily and Ben felt very sad and sorry. They cried and hugged their mom. They said sorry to the taxi driver, who was also angry. They went to their room and did not play. They wished they had not climbed on the taxi. They learned their lesson. Climbing on a taxi was not fun. It was bad.

+
+She searched all over the house and the yard, but Snowy was not there. She started to cry. She felt miserable. She wondered if Snowy was lost or hurt or gone forever.
+
+Then, she heard a meow from the garage. She ran to the door and opened it. There was Snowy, hiding under a box. He looked dirty and scared, but he was alive. Lily was so happy. She picked him up and held him tight. She kissed his head and said, "I love you, Snowy. Don't ever run away again."

+
+"Look at me, I am a pirate!" Ben says. He wears a big hat, a coat with buttons, and boots. He holds a needle in his hand. He thinks it is a sword.
+
+"I am a princess!" Anna says. She wears a dress with flowers, a crown, and slippers. She holds a fan in her hand. She thinks it is a wand.
+
+They start to argue. They think their clothes are better than the other's. They want to prove who is the best.
+
+"I can poke you with my sword!" Ben says. He runs towards Anna with the needle.
+
+"No, you can't! I can wave my wand and make you disappear!" Anna says. She waves her fan at Ben.
+
+But Ben is faster. He reaches Anna and pokes her with the needle. Anna screams. The needle hurts her arm. She drops her fan. She starts to cry.

+But it is too late. Mom hears Anna's cry. She comes to the attic. She sees what happened. She is very angry. She takes Anna to the doctor. She scolds Ben. She throws away the clothes and the needle. She says they can't play dress-up anymore.

+Lily was a mole who liked to dig in the dirt. She had a big hole where she lived with her mom and dad. She did not like to go out when the sun was up. The sun was too bright and hot for her eyes and fur.
+

+Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were doctors and patients. Lily had a fancy bag with some toys and a book. Ben had a blanket and a pillow.
+
+Lily said, "Ben, you are very sick. You need to take this pill." She took out a candy from her bag and gave it to Ben.
+
+Ben said, "Thank you, Lily. What is this pill for?"
+
+Lily said, "This pill is for your tummy. It will make you feel better."
+
+Ben said, "OK, I will take it." He put the candy in his mouth and chewed it.
+
+Lily said, "Good, Ben. Now you need to rest. I will read you a story." She opened her book and started to read.
+
+But then, Mom came into the living room. She saw the candy wrapper on the floor. She said, "Lily, Ben, what are you doing?"
+
+Lily said, "We are playing doctor, Mom. I gave Ben a pill for his tummy."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, that was not a pill. That was a candy. You should not give candy to Ben. Candy is not good for his tummy. It can make him sick."
+
+Lily said, "But, Mom, it was just pretend."
+
+Mom said, "I know, Lily, but you have to be careful. Candy is not a toy. You have to ask me before you take candy from the kitchen. And you have to warn Ben that it is not a real pill. He might think it is and take it when you are not looking."
+
+Lily said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know."
+
+Mom said, "It's OK, Lily. I'm not mad. I just want you and Ben to be safe and healthy. Now, why don't you put away your fancy bag and your book, and we can have some fruit for a snack?"
+
+Lily said, "OK, Mom. Come on, Ben. Let's go to the kitchen."
+
+Ben said, "OK, Lily. I like fruit. And I like playing with you. You are a good doctor."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good patient. And a good brother."
+Lily and Max were excited to go to the park with Mom. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the door. Mom said, "Wait, we need to lock the door first."
+
+Lily wanted to help Mom. She reached for the knob and tried to turn it. But it was too hard for her. She said, "Mom, let me do it. I can lock the door."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You are very smart, Lily, but the knob is too big for your hand. You need to grow a little more. Why don't you let Max try?"
+
+Max was happy to try. He grabbed the knob and twisted it with all his strength. He heard a click and said, "I did it! I locked the door!"
+
+Mom said, "Good job, Max! You are very strong. Now we can go to the park."
+
+Lily was not happy. She wanted to lock the door too. She said, "No, no, no. I want to do it. I insist. Let me do it."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, don't be upset. You can do many other things. You can swing, slide, and play with your friends. The park is more fun than the door. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lily still felt sad. She did not want to go to the park. She wanted to lock the door. She crossed her arms and pouted. She said, "No, I don't want to go. I want to stay here."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, please don't be stubborn. We are going to the park for you and Max. You will have a lot of fun. Trust me. You can lock the door another day. Please, come with us."
+
+Lily looked at Mom's face. She saw that Mom was kind and patient. She also saw that Max was waiting for her. He looked excited and eager. He said, "Lily, come on. The park is awesome. There are swings, slides, and a sandbox. You can play with me and make new friends. Please, come with me."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She realized that Mom and Max were right. The park was more fun than the door. She also realized that she loved Mom and Max. She did not want to make them sad. She said, "Okay, okay. I will go with you. But next time, I want to lock the door."
+
+Mom said, "Okay, next time, you can try to lock the door. But for now, let's go to the park and have fun."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She took Mom's hand and Max's hand. They walked to the car and drove to the park. Lily was excited to play and have fun. She forgot about the door and the knob. She was happy to be with Mom and Max. They were her family and they loved her.
+Lily and Ben like to play with water. They have a big tub and a small tub. They fill the big tub with water from the tap. They use a cup to move water from the big tub to the small tub.
+
+"Let's measure how much water we have," Lily says. She has a ruler. She puts it in the small tub. "Look, we have four fingers of water," she says.
+
+Ben wants to measure too. He takes the ruler from Lily. He puts it in the big tub. "We have more water here," he says. "We have six fingers of water."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They move more water from the big tub to the small tub. They measure again. "Now we have five fingers of water in both tubs," Lily says.
+
+But then they hear a noise. It is the drain. The drain is under the big tub. The drain is open. The water is going out of the big tub. "Oh no!" Lily and Ben say. They run to the big tub. They try to close the drain. But it is too late. The water is gone.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They look at the empty big tub. They look at the small tub. It still has water. But not much. "What can we do?" Lily asks.
+
+Ben has an idea. He smiles. He says, "We can use the small tub to fill the big tub again. Then we can measure again. And we can close the drain this time."
+
+Lily likes the idea. She smiles too. She says, "Yes, let's do that. It will be fun."
+
+Lily and Ben use the cup to move water from the small tub to the big tub. They fill the big tub again. They measure again. They close the drain. They play with water. They are happy. The water is clear and shiny.
+Lily and Ben were playing with snow in the park. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very happy.
+
+But then a bee came and buzzed around the snowman. The bee liked the carrot nose and wanted to eat it. The bee was very bossy and did not care about Lily and Ben.
+
+"Go away, bee!" Lily said. "This is our snowman. You cannot have his nose."
+
+But the bee did not listen. He flew closer and closer to the snowman. He tried to bite the carrot nose.
+
+"Stop, bee!" Ben said. "You are being mean. You will make the snowman sad."
+
+But the bee did not care. He bit the carrot nose and flew away. He was very greedy and rude.
+
+Lily and Ben were very angry and sad. They looked at their snowman. He had no nose. He looked funny and sad.
+
+They wanted to make a new nose for him. But the sun was shining and the snow was melting. The snowman was getting smaller and smaller. He was losing his hat and his scarf.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged their snowman. They said sorry to him. They said they loved him.
+
+They hoped the bee would be sorry too. They hoped he would learn to share and be nice. They hoped the snowman would come back next winter.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big statue of a lion. The lion looked very strong and hairy. Tom wanted to touch the lion, but Lily was afraid.
+
+"Can I touch the lion, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Be careful, Tom. The lion is made of stone. It might be rough and cold," mom said.
+
+Tom did not listen. He ran to the statue and put his hand on the lion's mane. He felt the hard and prickly hair. He liked it. He wanted to feel more. He squeezed the lion's ear.
+
+"Ow!" the lion said.
+
+Tom was shocked. He let go of the ear and jumped back. The lion opened his eyes and looked at Tom. He was not a statue. He was a real lion.
+
+"Who are you? Why did you squeeze my ear?" the lion asked.
+
+Tom was scared. He did not know what to say. He looked at Lily and mom. They were scared too. They did not know what to do.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mr. Lion. I thought you were a statue. I wanted to touch your hair. It looked nice," Tom said.
+
+The lion frowned. He did not like being mistaken for a statue. He did not like being squeezed. He was angry.
+
+"That was very rude of you, little boy. You should not touch things that are not yours. You should not squeeze things that are alive. You could hurt them. How would you like it if I squeezed your ear?" the lion said.
+
+Tom felt sorry. He realized he had made a mistake. He did not want to hurt the lion. He did not want the lion to hurt him.
+
+"I'm very sorry, Mr. Lion. I did not mean to hurt you. I would not like it if you squeezed my ear. It would hurt a lot. Please don't squeeze my ear," Tom said.
+
+The lion saw that Tom was sorry. He saw that Tom was afraid. He decided to forgive him. He did not squeeze his ear. He smiled.
+
+"Okay, little boy. I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will never squeeze anyone or anything again. You have to promise me that you will be gentle and respectful. Can you do that?" the lion said.
+
+Tom nodded. He was relieved. He was grateful. He learned a lesson.
+
+"Yes, Mr. Lion. I promise. I will never squeeze anyone or anything again. I will be gentle and respectful. Thank you for forgiving me," Tom said.
+
+The lion nodded. He was satisfied. He closed his eyes and pretended to be a statue again. Tom, Lily and mom walked away. They thanked the lion too. They were happy. They learned a lesson too.
+Sam liked to grow things in his garden. He had many seeds and pots and dirt. He watered them every day and watched them grow. One day, he saw a big red thing in one of his pots. It was a radish. Sam was very happy. He wanted to eat it.
+
+He ran to his mom and showed her his radish. "Look, mom, I grew a radish!" he said. "Can I eat it?" He asked his mom. His mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can eat it, but you have to wash it first. It might have bugs or dirt on it." She took the radish and washed it in the sink. She gave it back to Sam.
+
+Sam took a big bite of his radish. He made a funny face. It was not sweet like a carrot or crunchy like a cucumber. It was spicy and bitter. He did not like it. He spit it out and said, "Yuck! This radish is bad!" His mom laughed and said, "No, Sam, the radish is not bad. It is just ordinary. Some people like radishes and some people don't. You can try something else from your garden if you want." She gave him a hug and a kiss.
+
+Sam decided to try a tomato instead. He picked a red one from his garden and washed it. He bit into it and smiled. It was juicy and sweet. He liked it. He said, "Mmm, this tomato is good!" His mom said, "I'm glad you like it, Sam. You are a good gardener. You can grow many things in your garden. Maybe you will like radishes when you are older. Or maybe not. That's okay. You can eat what you like." She gave him another hug and a kiss.
+
+Sam was happy. He liked his garden and his mom. He liked tomatoes and carrots and cucumbers. He did not like radishes, but that was okay. He was an ordinary boy who liked ordinary things. And he liked to grow things in his garden.
+Tim and Jen liked to play in the woods behind their house. They liked to climb trees, find bugs, and make forts. One day, they saw a big log that had fallen across a stream. They wanted to cross the log and see what was on the other side.
+
+Tim went first. He walked slowly and carefully on the log, holding his arms out for balance. He made it to the other side and waved to Jen. "Come on, Jen, it's fun!" he said.
+
+Jen was scared. She did not like heights or water. She looked at the log and the stream and shook her head. "No, Tim, I don't want to. It's too high and too wet. I might slip and fall."
+
+Tim was persistent. He wanted Jen to join him. He thought she was being silly and scared. He tried to make her change her mind. "Don't be a baby, Jen. It's easy and safe. I did it, so can you. Just follow me and you'll be fine."
+
+Jen did not want to disappoint Tim. She wanted to be brave and have fun. She took a deep breath and stepped on the log. She tried to walk like Tim, but she was nervous and shaky. She looked down at the water and felt dizzy. She slipped and lost her balance. She screamed and fell into the stream.
+
+Tim heard Jen scream and saw her fall. He felt sorry and scared. He ran back to the log and tried to help her. He reached out his hand and called her name. "Jen, Jen, are you okay? Grab my hand, I'll pull you out."
+
+Jen was wet and cold and scared. She grabbed Tim's hand and he pulled her out. She was crying and shivering. She hugged Tim and said, "Thank you, Tim, thank you. I'm sorry, I should have listened to you. I was stupid and stubborn."
+
+Tim hugged Jen back and said, "No, Jen, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you. I was mean and pushy. I'm glad you're okay. Let's go home and get dry and warm."
+
+They walked back to their house, holding hands and apologizing. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect each other's feelings and choices. They learned to be careful and not take risks. They learned to be good friends.
+Tom was a wealthy boy who had many shirts of different colors and patterns. He liked to show off his shirts to his friends at school and make them feel bad. He would say things like, "Look at my shirt, it is so pretty and new. Your shirt is old and ugly. You should get a new one like mine."
+
+One day, he brought his favorite shirt to school. It was red and shiny and had a big star on it. He wore it with pride and laughed at his friends who had plain shirts. He thought he was the best and the coolest.
+
+But he did not see the puddle of mud near the playground. He ran to the slide and stepped on the puddle. He slipped and fell and his shirt got dirty and wet. He cried out loud and tried to wipe off the mud. But it was too late. His shirt was ruined.
+
+His friends saw what happened and came to him. They did not laugh at him or make fun of him. They felt sorry for him and tried to help him. They said things like, "Are you okay, Tom? Don't cry, it's just a shirt. You can get a new one. Here, you can borrow my shirt. It is not as pretty as yours, but it is clean and dry."
+
+Tom was surprised and ashamed. He realized that his friends were kind and generous, and that he had been mean and selfish. He said, "Thank you, friends. I'm sorry I was rude to you. Your shirts are not ugly, they are nice and warm. You are better than me. Can you forgive me?"
+
+His friends smiled and hugged him. They said, "Of course we can, Tom. We are your friends. We don't care about your shirts, we care about you. Come on, let's play together."
+
+Tom learned a lesson that day. He learned that shirts are not important, but friends are. He learned that being wealthy is not about having many things, but about being happy and kind. He learned that he should not drop his friends, but drop his pride.
+Lily was a big girl who liked to solve things. She liked to solve puzzles, riddles, and problems. She was very smart and proud of herself. One day, she wanted to solve a new thing. She wanted to solve the toilet.
+
+She went to the bathroom and looked at the toilet. She saw a big white bowl with water and a handle. She wondered what would happen if she pushed the handle. She pushed it and saw the water go down. She smiled and pushed it again. She liked the sound and the swirl.
+
+She pushed the handle many times, faster and faster. She did not see the water come up and spill over the bowl. She did not hear her mom call her name. She did not notice the wet floor and the bad smell. She only wanted to solve the toilet.
+
+Then, she heard a loud knock on the door. It was her dad. He was angry and scared. He opened the door and saw the mess. He saw Lily with a wet dress and a happy face. He yelled at her and grabbed her. He took her out of the bathroom and put her in her room. He told her she was naughty and she had to stay there.
+
+Lily did not understand. She thought she was fine. She thought she had solved the toilet. She did not like her dad's voice and his face. She did not like her room and her bed. She cried and cried. She wished she had not solved the toilet. She wished she had played with her toys instead. She was not fine. She was sad.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. Lily saw a big box near the fence. She ran to the box and opened it. Inside, there were many toys and books and clothes.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" Lily shouted. "I found a treasure!"
+
+Ben ran to the box too. He saw a red car, a blue ball, a yellow hat and a green frog. He liked the frog. He picked it up and made it hop.
+
+"Ribbit, ribbit!" Ben said. "This is my frog. He is warm and soft."
+
+Lily saw a pink dress, a purple doll, a white cat and a brown bear. She liked the cat. She hugged it and made it purr.
+
+"Meow, meow!" Lily said. "This is my cat. She is warm and fluffy."
+
+They played with their toys for a long time. They forgot about everything else. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not see the wind blowing the box lid. They did not notice the lock on the box.
+
+The wind slammed the lid shut. The lock clicked. Ben and Lily were trapped in the box.
+
+"Help, help!" Ben cried. "We are locked in the box!"
+
+"Help, help!" Lily echoed. "We want to get out!"
+
+They banged on the lid. They kicked the sides. They screamed and cried. But no one heard them. No one saw them.
+
+Ben felt his toe hurt. He had kicked the lock too hard. He started to sob.
+
+"Ow, ow!" Ben said. "My toe is sore!"
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben. She put her cat down and crawled to him. She held his toe and kissed it.
+
+"Shh, shh!" Lily said. "It will be okay. I will make your toe better."
+
+Ben felt Lily's kiss. He felt her hand. He felt a little better. He hugged Lily and thanked her.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Ben said. "You are a good sister. I love you."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Ben back.
+
+"I love you too," Lily said. "We will be fine. We have each other. We have our toys. We are warm."
+
+They snuggled together in the box. They waited for someone to find them. They hoped it would be soon.
+Lila was a little girl who loved to swim. She had a big pool in her backyard, where she would splash and play with her toys. She liked to pretend she was a fish or a mermaid, and swim under the water.
+
+One day, she saw a big, furry animal outside the fence. It was a wolf, and it looked hungry and sad. Lila felt sorry for the wolf, and wanted to help it. She ran inside and got some bread and cheese from the kitchen. She threw them over the fence, hoping the wolf would eat them and feel better.
+
+The wolf smelled the food and came closer. It saw Lila in the pool, and licked its lips. It thought she looked like a tasty snack. It jumped over the fence and ran towards the pool, growling and showing its teeth.
+
+Lila was scared and screamed. She swam to the edge of the pool, where her mom was sitting. Her mom heard her scream and saw the wolf. She grabbed a broom and hit the wolf on the nose. The wolf yelped and ran away, leaving the food behind.
+
+Lila hugged her mom and cried. Her mom comforted her and said, "Lila, you are very kind and brave, but you have to be careful. You can't trust a wild animal, even if it looks sad. Wolves are not like dogs, they are dangerous and can hurt you. You have to be patient and wait for the right time to help them, or ask an adult for help. Do you understand?"
+
+Lila nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I'm sorry, I won't do it again. I love you, mom."
+
+"I love you too, Lila. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies and milk. And maybe we can watch a movie about fish and mermaids, okay?"
+
+"Okay, mom. That sounds fun."
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw a big sunflower that was yellow and bright. They wanted to pick it and give it to their mom.
+
+"Let's get the sunflower, Ben!" Lily said. "Mom will be happy and thank us."
+
+"OK, Lily. But we have to be careful. The sunflower is very tall and the stem is very thick." Ben said.
+
+They tried to pull the sunflower, but it was too hard. They pushed and pulled, but it did not move. They got angry and sad.
+
+"Maybe we can cut it with the scissors." Lily said. She ran to the house and got the scissors. She came back and gave them to Ben.
+
+Ben took the scissors and tried to cut the stem. But the scissors were not sharp enough. He cut and cut, but it did not work. He got more angry and sad.
+
+"Let me try, Ben." Lily said. She took the scissors and tried to cut the stem. But she did not see the bee that was on the sunflower. The bee was unknown to her. The bee was angry and scared. The bee stung Lily on the hand.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily cried. She dropped the scissors and ran to the house. She showed her hand to her mom. Her hand was red and swollen.
+
+"Mom, help me! It hurts!" Lily said.
+
+Mom saw the sting and the scissors. She was worried and angry. She took Lily to the bathroom and put some ice on her hand. She asked her what happened.
+
+"We wanted to get the sunflower for you, Mom. But we could not. And then a bee stung me." Lily said.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. But you should not have used the scissors. They are dangerous. And you should not have touched the sunflower. It belongs to the garden. The bee was protecting it. You should have asked me first."
+
+Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. We did not know. We wanted to make you happy and thank you."
+
+Mom said, "I know, Lily. But you have to be careful and respectful. The sunflower and the bee are not toys. They are living things. You have to learn from your mistake."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I will, Mom. I will."
+
+Mom kissed Lily and said, "I love you, Lily. But you have to stay in the house for the rest of the day. No more playing in the garden. And you have to say sorry to Ben too."
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, Mom. And I will say sorry to Ben. But I don't like the sunflower and the bee anymore. They are mean and hurtful."
+
+Mom said, "No, Lily. They are not mean and hurtful. They are just different and have their own rules. You have to understand and respect them. Maybe one day, you will like them again."
+
+Lily did not say anything. She did not think she would ever like the sunflower and the bee again. She felt sad and angry. She wished she never saw the sunflower and the bee. She wished she never tried to get them. She wished she never hurt herself and her mom. She wished she had a different story.
+Lily was a young girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a big teddy bear. She called him Brownie and hugged him every night.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring Brownie with her, but her mom said no. She said Brownie was too big and might get lost. Lily was sad, but she listened to her mom. She put Brownie on her bed and kissed him goodbye.
+
+At the store, Lily saw a lot of things. She saw candy, books, clothes, and more toys. She wanted to touch everything, but her mom said no. She said they had to hurry and buy what they needed. Lily was bored, but she followed her mom.
+
+When they came back home, Lily ran to her room. She wanted to see Brownie and play with him. But when she opened the door, she saw something terrible. Brownie was gone! There was a big hole in the window, and some fur on the floor. Lily saw a big bird outside, flying away with something in its claws. It was Brownie!
+
+Lily started to cry. She cried very loud and very hard. She cried so much that her mom heard her and came to see what was wrong. She saw the hole, the fur, and the bird. She understood what happened. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm so sorry, sweetie. That was a bad bird. It took your teddy bear. I know you loved him very much."
+
+Lily cried some more. She said, "I want Brownie back. He was my best friend. Why did the bird take him?"
+
+Her mom said, "I don't know, honey. Maybe the bird thought he was a real bear. Maybe he wanted a friend too. But he was wrong. He should not have taken your toy. He should have asked first."
+
+Lily said, "Can we get him back? Can we find the bird and get Brownie?"
+
+Her mom said, "I don't think so, darling. The bird flew very far away. We don't know where he lives. We can't chase him. I'm sorry."
+
+Lily said, "But I miss him. I miss him so much."
+
+Her mom said, "I know, sweetie. I miss him too. He was a very good teddy bear. But you know what? We can always remember him. We can keep him in our hearts. And we can find another toy to love. Maybe we can go to the store tomorrow and buy a new one. What do you think?"
+
+Lily wiped her tears. She said, "Maybe. But I will always love Brownie. He was my first toy. He was special."
+
+Her mom said, "Of course he was. And he will always love you too. He will always be your first toy. And he will always be special."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and kick the ball. They had a big fence around the yard to keep them safe. Sometimes they saw other kids on the other side of the fence, but they did not talk to them.
+
+One day, a big dog arrived at the fence. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled and tried to get in the yard. Tom and Lily were scared. They ran to the house and called for Mom.
+
+Mom came out and saw the dog. She was not happy. She said the dog was fierce and dangerous. She told Tom and Lily to stay inside. She went to the fence and shouted at the dog. She said, "Go away! This is not your yard! Leave us alone!"
+
+The dog did not listen. It kept barking and growling and scratching the fence. Mom got a stick and waved it at the dog. She said, "I will hit you if you don't go away!" The dog was afraid of the stick. It stopped barking and growling and ran away.
+
+Mom threw the stick away and came back to the house. She hugged Tom and Lily and said, "You are safe now. The dog is gone. You did the right thing to call me. I love you." Tom and Lily hugged Mom and said, "We love you too. Thank you for saving us from the fierce dog." They were happy and relieved. They decided to play inside for a while. They did not want to see the dog again.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the forest. They liked to find logs and pretend they were boats. They would sit on the logs and rock them back and forth, making boat noises.
+
+"Look, Lila, I found a big log!" Tom said. "Let's go on it!"
+
+Lila followed Tom to the log. It was very long and thick. They climbed on it and started to shake it.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, we are going fast!" Tom said.
+
+But then they heard a loud hiss. Something was under the log. It was a snake!
+
+"Ah, snake, snake!" Lila screamed. She jumped off the log and ran away.
+
+Tom was scared too. He also jumped off the log and ran after Lila.
+
+They ran until they reached their house. They hugged their mom and told her what happened.
+
+"It's okay, my loves, you are safe now," Mom said. She gave them some cookies and milk. "Next time, be careful where you play. Some logs have animals inside."
+
+Lila and Tom nodded. They felt comfortable in their mom's arms. They decided to play with their toys instead of logs. They did not want to see the snake again.
+Anna did not like broccoli. She did not want to eat it for dinner. She pushed it away with her fork and made a face. Her mom said, "You have to eat your broccoli, Anna. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy."
+
+Anna did not care. She did not want to be strong and healthy. She wanted to eat cake and ice cream. She said, "No, mom. I hate broccoli. It is yucky and green. I want cake and ice cream."
+
+Her mom said, "No, Anna. You cannot have cake and ice cream until you finish your broccoli. You have to eat what I give you. That is the rule."
+
+Anna was angry. She did not like the rule. She wanted to break the rule. She had a plan. She waited until her mom was not looking. Then she grabbed her broccoli and threw it at the wall. She hoped it would stick to the wall and she would not have to eat it.
+
+But her plan did not work. The broccoli did not stick to the wall. It bounced back and hit her in the face. It was wet and cold and slimy. Anna screamed and cried. She felt broccoli in her hair and on her nose and in her mouth. She spit it out and wiped it off. She was very messy.
+
+Her mom heard her scream and cry. She came back and saw what Anna had done. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Anna, what did you do? Why did you throw your broccoli at the wall? That was very naughty and crazy. You made a big mess. You wasted good food. You did not listen to me. You are in big trouble."
+
+Anna felt bad. She knew she had done something wrong. She wished she had not thrown her broccoli. She wished she had eaten it like her mom said. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was mad. I did not want to eat broccoli. I wanted cake and ice cream."
+
+Her mom said, "I'm sorry, too, Anna. But you cannot have cake and ice cream now. You have to go to your room and think about what you did. You have to learn to eat your broccoli and follow the rules. Maybe tomorrow you can have cake and ice cream if you are good. But not today."
+
+Anna did not like that. She did not want to go to her room. She did not want to think about what she did. She wanted cake and ice cream. She said, "No, mom. Please. I want cake and ice cream. Please, please, please."
+
+Her mom said, "No, Anna. No cake and ice cream for you today. You have to go to your room now. And no TV, no toys, no books, no fun. Only broccoli. You have to eat the broccoli that you threw at the wall. That is your punishment."
+
+Anna was shocked. She did not want to eat the broccoli that she threw at the wall. It was dirty and gross and yucky. She said, "No, mom. No, no, no. I don't want to eat that broccoli. It is nasty. Please, mom. Don't make me eat that broccoli."
+
+Her mom said, "Too bad, Anna. You have to eat that broccoli. You have to learn your lesson. Now go to your room and eat your broccoli. And don't come out until you finish it. And don't make any more noise. Or I will give you more broccoli."
+
+Anna was scared. She did not want more broccoli. She did not want any broccoli. She wished she had never seen broccoli. She wished she had never moved it with her fork. She wished she had never thrown it at the wall. She wished she had never been born.
+
+She went to her room and ate her broccoli. She cried and gagged and choked. She hated her life. She hated her mom. She hated broccoli.
+
+The end.
+Sara and Ben wanted to have a picnic in the park. They packed some bread, cheese, fruit and juice in a basket. They also took a ball and a kite to play with. They were very happy and excited.
+
+They walked to the park with their mom and dad. They found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread a blanket on the grass and put the basket on it. They opened the basket and saw that the juice bottle was broken. The juice had spilled all over the food. Sara and Ben were very sad and angry.
+
+"Who broke the juice bottle?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it happened in the car," Ben said.
+
+"It's not fair. We can't have a picnic now," Sara said.
+
+Mom and dad tried to cheer them up. They said they could still eat some of the food that was not wet. They said they could also play with the ball and the kite. They said they could have another picnic another day.
+
+Sara and Ben agreed to try to have fun. They ate some bread and cheese and fruit. They played with the ball and the kite. They laughed and ran and jumped. They forgot about the broken juice bottle.
+
+They had a good time in the park after all. They learned that sometimes things happen that are not nice, but they can still enjoy what they have. They thanked their mom and dad for the picnic. They said they loved them very much.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to visit their grandma every week. Grandma lives in a big house with a garden. She has many flowers and birds and a cat.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben go to visit grandma. They are very happy. They give her a hug and a kiss. Grandma says, "Hello, my sweeties. I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the garden."
+
+Anna and Ben follow grandma to the garden. They see a big box with a ribbon. Grandma says, "This is for you. You can open it together. But be careful. There is something very special inside."
+
+Anna and Ben are curious. They wonder what is in the box. They pull the ribbon and lift the lid. They gasp. Inside the box, there is a puppy. It is brown and white and fluffy. It wags its tail and licks their faces.
+
+Anna and Ben are overjoyed. They hug the puppy and thank grandma. Grandma says, "This is your new friend. You can name him and take care of him. He will love you very much. But remember, he is a baby. You have to be gentle and kind with him."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They are careful with the puppy. They play with him and feed him and cuddle him. They name him Spot. They are very happy. They have a new friend. They love grandma and Spot. And grandma and Spot love them.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw a big bush with many blueberries on it. They wanted to pick some and eat them.
+
+"Look, Ben, blueberries!" Lily said. "They are sweet and juicy. Let's get some."
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. The bush has thorns that can hurt you," Ben said.
+
+They went to the bush and reached for the blueberries. Lily saw a big one that looked very tasty. She leaned over to get it, but she leaned too far. She lost her balance and fell into the bush.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "The thorns are poking me. Help me, Ben!"
+
+Ben heard Lily and ran to her. He tried to pull her out of the bush, but he also got stuck by the thorns.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "The thorns are poking me too. We are trapped, Lily!"
+
+They both started to cry. They felt hurt and scared and embarrassed. They wished they had not leaned over the bush.
+
+Then they heard a voice.
+
+"Lily, Ben, what are you doing?" It was Lily's mom. She had come to the garden to check on them. She saw them in the bush and was surprised.
+
+"Lily, Ben, you are in trouble. You should not lean over the bush. The bush has thorns that can hurt you. And you should not pick the blueberries. They are not ours. They belong to Mr. Jones, our neighbor. He will be angry if he sees you."
+
+She went to the bush and carefully took them out. She hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Ben said.
+
+They both felt very embarrassed. They had learned a lesson. They would not lean over the bush again. And they would not pick the blueberries without asking. They would say sorry to Mr. Jones and give him some of their cookies. They hoped he would forgive them.
+Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big lawn with many toys and flowers. One day, they saw a new boy walking on the street. He had unusual hair and clothes. He looked sad and lonely.
+
+"Hi, what is your name?" Lila asked him.
+
+"I am Sam. I just moved here. I have no friends," he said.
+
+"Do you want to join us? We are playing with our cars and dolls. You can have one too," Ben offered.
+
+Sam smiled and nodded. He followed Lila and Ben to their lawn. They gave him a car and a doll. They played happily for a while.
+
+But then, Sam did something bad. He took Lila's doll and threw it in the trash. He took Ben's car and smashed it on the ground. He laughed and said, "These are stupid toys. I don't like them. I don't like you either. You are silly and boring."
+
+Lila and Ben were shocked and angry. They cried and ran to their house. They told their mom what Sam did. Their mom was mad and called Sam's mom. She said, "Your son is very rude and mean. He ruined our toys and hurt our feelings. He is not welcome here anymore."
+
+Sam's mom was sorry and ashamed. She came to get Sam and scolded him. She said, "You are in big trouble, young man. You have to apologize to Lila and Ben and pay for their toys. You have to learn to be nice and share. You have no friends because you are selfish and cruel."
+
+Sam felt sorry and ashamed too. He said sorry to Lila and Ben, but they did not forgive him. They did not want to play with him ever again. He had to go home with his mom. He had no friends and no toys. He was sad and lonely. He wished he had been kind and joined them.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys on the carpet. Lily has a doll and Ben has a truck. They pretend that the doll is a princess and the truck is a dragon.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily says in a high voice. "The dragon is coming to get me!"
+
+"Roar!" Ben says in a low voice. "I am the dragon and I am hungry!"
+
+Lily makes the doll run away from the truck. She looks around for a place to hide. She sees a big box in the corner. She runs to the box and puts the doll inside.
+
+"Ha, ha!" Ben says. "I found you, princess! You cannot hide from me!"
+
+He pushes the truck to the box and tries to open it. But the box is closed with tape. He cannot open it.
+
+"Let me out, let me out!" Lily says in the doll's voice. "The dragon is scary!"
+
+Ben laughs. He thinks he has won the game. But then he hears a noise. He looks up and sees Lily. She has climbed on top of the box. She has a paper crown on her head and a wooden spoon in her hand.
+
+"I am not the princess, I am the queen!" Lily says. "And I have a magic wand!"
+
+She waves the spoon and says, "Abracadabra! Dragon, go away!"
+
+She hits the truck with the spoon. The truck falls off the carpet. Ben is surprised.
+
+"Wow!" he says. "You are very creative, Lily! You tricked me!"
+
+Lily smiles. She jumps off the box and hugs Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben!" she says. "You are a good dragon. You made the game fun!"
+
+They both laugh. They pick up their toys and put them back on the carpet. They clap their hands and applaud each other. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They want to make a house with the box.
+
+"Can I watch the box?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, I want to watch the box," Lily says.
+
+They both pull the box. The box rips. They are sad.
+
+"Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Lily," they say.
+
+They hug and say sorry. They look at the box. It is not a good house anymore. But it is still a big box.
+
+"Let's make a boat with the box," Tom says.
+
+"OK, let's make a boat," Lily says.
+
+They turn the box over. They pretend to row with sticks. They have fun. They are friendly. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they saw a big dog near the fence. The dog was barking loud and showing its teeth. Tom and Lily were scared. They trembled and held hands.
+
+"Let's go away from the dog," Tom said.
+
+"But how? The dog is blocking the gate," Lily said.
+
+Tom looked around. He saw a big tree with a hole. He had an idea.
+
+"Look, Lily, we can hide in the tree. The dog can't reach us there. It's cool and dark inside," Tom said.
+
+"OK, let's try," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the tree and crawled into the hole. The dog saw them and ran after them. But it was too big to fit in the hole. It scratched and sniffed, but it could not get them. Tom and Lily were safe in the tree. They hugged and smiled.
+
+"Good idea, Tom. You are brave and smart," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are kind and sweet," Tom said.
+
+They waited until the dog went away. Then they came out of the tree and went home. They told their mom and dad about their adventure. They were happy and proud.
+Lily was a big sister. She had a new infant brother. His name was Max. Lily liked Max. He was small and cute. He had soft hair and blue eyes. Lily thought he was attractive.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to play with Max. She went to his crib. She saw him sleeping. She wanted to lift him. She said, "Max, wake up. Let's play." She put her hands under him. She tried to lift him. But he was too heavy. She could not lift him. She dropped him. He fell on the floor. He cried loud.
+
+Mom heard the cry. She ran to the crib. She saw Max on the floor. She saw Lily holding her hands. She was scared and angry. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You hurt Max. You are a bad sister. Go to your room. Now." She picked up Max. She checked him. He had a bump on his head. He was bleeding. She called Dad. She said, "We need to go to the hospital. Lily dropped Max. He is hurt."
+
+Lily felt sad and sorry. She did not mean to hurt Max. She just wanted to play with him. She loved him. She went to her room. She cried. She wished she could say sorry to Max. She wished Mom was not mad at her. She wished she could lift Max. But she could not. She was a big sister. But she felt small.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has a collar and a leash. The dog is with a guard. The guard wears a hat and a coat.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Tom asks the guard.
+
+The guard nods. "Yes, you can. But be slow and gentle. The dog is old and shy."
+
+Tom and Mia walk to the dog. They say hello. The dog wags its tail. Tom and Mia rub the dog's fur. The dog likes it. He licks their hands.
+
+"You are a good dog," Mia says. "What is your name?"
+
+The guard smiles. "His name is Rex. He is my friend. We work together. He helps me keep the park safe."
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They make a new friend. They thank the guard and Rex. They wave goodbye. They go back to play.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun making cars, dolls, and animals out of mud and sticks. They also liked to dig holes and fill them with water. They called them pits.
+
+One day, they found a strange bottle in the grass. It had a label that said "Shrink Juice". They did not know what it meant, but they thought it looked nice. It was purple and sparkly. They decided to try it.
+
+They opened the bottle and drank some of the juice. It tasted sweet and sour. They felt funny and dizzy. Then they noticed that everything around them was getting bigger. The grass, the flowers, the toys, the pits. They were shrinking!
+
+They got scared and tried to run back to the house. But they were too small to climb the steps. They saw a big ant crawling towards them. It looked like a monster. They screamed for help.
+
+Luckily, their mom heard them and came out. She saw the bottle and the label. She realized what had happened. She picked up Lily and Tom and put them on the table. She gave them some water and cookies. She told them not to drink strange things. She said the juice would wear off soon and they would grow back to normal.
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry and hugged their mom. They said they were sorry and they loved her. They learned their lesson. They never drank shrink juice again. They still played with their toys and pits, but they were more careful. They had a nice mom.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tent. It had many colors and pictures. They wanted to enter the tent and see what was inside.
+
+"Look, Tom, a tent! Let's go inside!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. Maybe there are scary things inside," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the tent and opened the flap. They entered the tent and saw many toys and games. They were very happy. They saw a jolly clown with a red nose and big shoes. He smiled at them and said, "Hello, children! Welcome to my tent! Do you want to play with me?"
+
+"Yes, yes, we want to play!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+The clown gave them balloons and candy. He made funny faces and noises. He asked them to sit on a big chair. He said he would make them look like clowns too. He took out a scissors and a spray can. He said, "First, I will cut your hair. Then, I will spray it with colors. You will look very funny and pretty!"
+
+Lily and Tom did not like this. They liked their hair. They did not want to look like clowns. They wanted to leave the tent. They said, "No, no, we don't want that! We want to go home!"
+
+But the clown did not listen. He grabbed their hair and cut it with the scissors. He sprayed it with red and green and blue. He laughed and said, "Ha, ha, ha! Now you are my clowns! You will stay with me forever!"
+
+Lily and Tom cried and screamed. They tried to run away, but the clown blocked the flap. He said, "You can't escape! You are mine now! We will have so much fun together!"
+
+Lily and Tom were very sad and scared. They wished they never entered the tent. They wished they listened to Tom and were careful. They wished they could go back to the park and play. But they could not. They were stuck with the jolly clown who was not jolly at all. He was very mean and cruel. He cut their hair and made them look like clowns. He ruined their day and their lives. The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a river. The river is big and blue. It makes a sound like shhh.
+
+Lily and Ben want to cross the river. They look for a bridge. But they do not see a bridge. They see a big log. The log is on the river. It is long and brown.
+
+Lily says, "Let's use the log. We can walk on the log. It is like a bridge." Ben says, "No, the log is not a bridge. It is not safe. It can move. We can fall in the river."
+
+Lily and Ben do not agree. They are mad at each other. They do not want to play anymore. They sit on the ground. They are sad.
+
+Then, they see a bird. The bird is original. It has many colors. It has a long tail. It sings a pretty song. The bird flies over the river. It lands on a tree.
+
+Lily and Ben look at the bird. They forget about the log. They forget about the river. They forget about being mad. They smile at each other. They say, "Wow, look at the bird. It is so original. It is so beautiful. Let's go see the bird."
+
+Lily and Ben get up. They hold hands. They walk along the river. They look for a way to cross. They find a bridge. The bridge is small and red. It is safe and strong.
+
+Lily and Ben cross the bridge. They go to the tree. They see the bird. The bird sees them. It sings to them. Lily and Ben sing back. They are happy. They are friends. They play with the bird. They have fun. The end.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big statue of a lion in the middle of the park. The statue looked scary and mysterious. Tom and Lily wanted to touch it, but their mom said no.
+
+"Stay away from the statue, kids. It is very old and might break. And there is a lock on its mouth. Maybe it has a secret inside," their mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily were curious. They waited until their mom was busy talking to a friend. Then they ran to the statue. They climbed on its back and tried to open the lock. They pulled and pushed, but the lock did not move.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. The statue opened its mouth and showed its big teeth. Tom and Lily were scared and jumped off the statue. They ran back to their mom and hugged her.
+
+"Mom, mom, the statue is alive! It roared at us and tried to bite us!" they cried.
+
+Their mom looked at the statue. She saw that it was not a real lion, but a fountain. The lock was a switch that turned on the water. The water came out of the statue's mouth and made a roaring sound.
+
+She laughed and explained to Tom and Lily what happened. They felt silly and laughed too. They learned that the statue was not mysterious, but fun. They played with the water and had a good time.
+Tom and Amy were friends who liked to play pirates. They had a big box that they pretended was a ship. They wore hats and eye patches and said "Arrr!" a lot. They wanted to find treasure and have adventures.
+
+One day, they saw a navy boat on the water. It was big and shiny and had a flag. Tom said, "Let's go and take their gold and jewels. We are brave pirates and we can succeed." Amy said, "But they have guns and cannons. They might hurt us. We should stay away." Tom said, "Don't be scared. We have swords and hooks. We can be charming and trick them. Come on, follow me."
+
+They left their box and ran to the shore. They waved and smiled at the navy boat. They said, "Hello, we are friendly pirates. Can we come and visit your boat?" The navy men looked at them and laughed. They said, "Sure, come on board. We have something for you." They threw a rope and helped Tom and Amy climb up.
+
+But when they got to the deck, the navy men were not nice. They said, "You are not pirates, you are silly kids. You have no treasure, you have only toys. You tried to fool us, but you failed. Now you will pay." They took their hats and eye patches and threw them in the water. They tied them up and locked them in a dark room. They said, "You will stay here until your parents come and get you. And they will be very angry."
+
+Tom and Amy were scared and sad. They cried and wished they had listened to Amy. They missed their box and their toys. They learned that being a pirate was not fun. They hoped that the navy men would let them go soon. But they did not. The end.

+Ben says, "I am Ben. I like planes. I have a toy plane. See?" He shows him his toy plane. The pilot nods and says, "That is a nice toy plane. Do you want to be a pilot when you grow up?"

You just have to work hard and dream big. And you have to listen to your mom and dad. They love you and want the best for you."
+
+Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, pilot. You are very kind. Can I give you a hug?" The pilot says, "Of course, you can." He hugs Ben and says, "You are very sweet. Have a nice day, Ben. And have fun with your toy plane."

+Ben says, "Bye, pilot. Have a nice day, too. And have fun with your real plane." He waves and runs back to his mom. He tells her what he did and what he said.

+
+"Oh no!" Lila said. "How long will it take?"
+
+"Not too long, I hope," dad said. "But you can help me. See that pine tree over there? Can you bring me some pine cones? They are good for starting fires."
+
+Lila and Tom ran to the pine tree. They saw many pine cones on the ground. They picked up as many as they could carry. They also saw a bald squirrel. It had no fur on its head or tail.
+
+"Look, Tom!" Lila said. "A bald squirrel! Why is it bald?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it lost its fur in a fight. Or maybe it's cold. Let's give it a pine cone. Maybe it's hungry."
+
+They put a pine cone near the bald squirrel. The squirrel sniffed it and nibbled it. It looked happy. Lila and Tom smiled.
+

+
+Ben did not understand why Lily was angry. He thought he was playing with her doll the right way. He liked to make her doll drive his car and crash into the sofa. He thought it was fun. He felt frustrated too. He said to Lily, "No, I want to keep your doll! You are not nice!"
+
+They started to cry and yell. They did not want to share anymore. They wanted their own toys back.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Lily and Ben crying and yelling. She asked them what was wrong. They told her what happened. Mom listened and nodded. She said to them, "I understand. You both like different things. But you also love each other. You can play with your own toys, but you can also provide some toys for each other. That means you give some toys to each other, so you can both have fun. Do you want to try that?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They thought about what Mom said. They felt sorry for making each other sad. They nodded and said yes. They gave back their toys to each other.

+
+Mom was happy to see them get along. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She also gave them a wink. That means she closed one eye and opened the other. It was a way of saying, "I'm proud of you."

+Tom was a naughty boy. He liked to play with things he should not. One day, he found a sharp knife in the kitchen. He wanted to cut some paper with it, but his mom said no. She said the knife was not a toy and it could hurt him. She put the knife away in a drawer and told Tom to play with his blocks.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He waited until his mom was busy and then he sneaked into the kitchen. He opened the drawer and took out the knife. He felt the blade with his finger and it was very sharp. He smiled and ran to his room with the knife.
+
+In his room, he had a big poster of a king on his wall. He liked the king because he had a crown and a cape and a sword. He wanted to be like the king. He thought the knife was like a sword and he could cut the poster with it. He lifted the knife and slashed at the poster.
+
+But he was not careful. He cut too hard and the knife slipped from his hand. It flew across the room and hit his teddy bear. The teddy bear was his favorite toy and he loved it very much. The knife made a big hole in the teddy bear's chest and stuffing came out. The teddy bear looked very sad and hurt.
+
+Tom saw what he had done and he felt very bad. He dropped the knife and ran to his teddy bear. He hugged it and cried. He was sorry for being naughty and playing with the sharp knife. He wished he had listened to his mom. He hoped his teddy bear would be okay. He learned a lesson that day. He never played with sharp things again.

+
+One day, Tom and Lily wanted to surprise Max with a new toy. They found a ball in the house and decided to hide it in the barn. They ran to the barn, but they saw their dad working there. He was fixing the roof and he looked busy. They did not want to bother him, so they whispered to each other.
+
+"Let's wait until dad is done," Lily whispered.
+
+"Or we can sneak in and leave the ball for Max," Tom whispered.
+
+They looked at each other and nodded. They were very quiet and careful, and they crawled under the fence. They reached the barn door and opened it a little bit. They saw Max sleeping on a pile of hay. He looked very cozy and happy.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and tiptoed inside. They put the ball next to Max and turned to leave. But then, they heard a loud noise. It was their dad, who saw them and shouted.
+
+"Tom! Lily! What are you doing here? This is dangerous! Get out of the barn now!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and sorry. They did not mean to make their dad angry. They ran to him and hugged him. They said they were sorry and they just wanted to give Max a toy.
+
+Their dad calmed down and hugged them back. He said he was not angry, but he was worried. He said the barn was not a safe place for them, and they should not go there without him. He said he loved them and he wanted them to be fine.
+
+Tom and Lily said they loved him too and they wanted to be fine. They said they would not go to the barn again without him. They asked if they could play with Max outside.
+
+Their dad smiled and said yes. He said Max would love the ball and he was a good friend. He said they could play with him, but they had to be careful and listen to him.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and thanked him. They took the ball and ran to Max, who woke up and wagged his tail. He was happy to see them and the ball. He barked and licked them. They threw the ball and he chased it. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Their dad watched them and smiled. He was glad they were fine. He finished his work and joined them. He played with them and Max. They were a happy family.
+Lily likes to collect shells on the beach. She has a big bucket full of shells of different colors and shapes. She likes to show them to her mom and dad and tell them stories about the shells.
+
+One day, Lily meets a boy on the beach. His name is Ben and he has a fan in his hand. He says he uses the fan to cool himself when it is hot. Lily thinks the fan is pretty and asks if she can see it.
+
+"Sure, you can see my fan," Ben says. "But can I see your shells? They look nice and shiny."
+
+Lily and Ben trade their things and look at them. Lily likes how the fan makes a soft breeze on her face. Ben likes how the shells make a clinking sound when he shakes them.
+
+But then, a big wave comes and splashes them. Lily and Ben get wet and drop their things. The fan gets soaked and stops working. The shells get scattered and lost in the sand.
+
+"Oh no, my fan!" Ben cries. "It is broken and weak now. It does not spin anymore."
+
+"Oh no, my shells!" Lily cries. "They are gone and hidden now. I cannot find them anymore."
+
+Lily and Ben are sad and hug each other. They say they are sorry for losing each other's things. They decide to help each other look for them.
+
+They search the beach for a long time, but they only find a few shells and a broken fan. They are still sad, but they are also happy to have a new friend.
+
+They give each other a hug and a smile. They say they will come back to the beach tomorrow and collect more shells and find a new fan. They hope the sun will shine and the waves will be gentle.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their dog, Max. They liked to throw a ball and watch Max run and catch it. Sometimes Max would bite the ball and make it squeak.
+
+"Good boy, Max!" Ben said, and gave him a hug.
+
+"Can I throw the ball now?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't throw it too far," Ben said.
+
+Lily took the ball and threw it as hard as she could. But she did not see a man walking by with a big hat. The ball hit the man's hat and knocked it off his head.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" the man shouted. He was angry and scared. He picked up his hat and saw a hole in it. "You ruined my hat! This hat is very important. It belongs to the police!"
+
+Ben and Lily were sorry. They did not mean to hurt the man or his hat. They ran to him and said, "We are sorry, mister. We did not see you. It was an accident."
+
+The man looked at them and saw they were just kids. He saw Max wagging his tail and licking his hand. He felt less angry and more calm.
+
+"It's OK, kids. I know you didn't mean it. But you have to be more careful when you play. This hat is not a toy. It is a sign of my job. I am a police officer. I help people and keep them safe."
+
+Ben and Lily were amazed. They liked the police. They thought they were brave and kind.
+
+"Wow, you are a police officer? That is cool!" Ben said.
+
+"Can we see your badge?" Lily asked.
+
+The man smiled and showed them his badge. It was shiny and had a star on it.
+
+"This is my badge. It shows that I am a police officer. It is also very important. It is a symbol of my duty and honor."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They wanted to be like the man when they grew up.
+
+"Can we say sorry to your hat?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course you can," the man said. He put his hat on the ground and let them touch it gently.
+
+"We are sorry, hat. We hope you are OK," Ben and Lily said.
+
+The hat did not say anything, but the man laughed.
+
+"Thank you, kids. You are very sweet and polite. I forgive you. And I think my hat does too."
+
+He put his hat back on his head and stood up.
+
+"Now, I have to go back to work. But you can keep playing with your dog. Just be careful, OK?"
+
+"OK, mister. Thank you for being nice to us. And thank you for being a police officer. You are very important," Ben and Lily said.
+
+The man waved and walked away. Ben and Lily waved back and hugged Max. They threw the ball again, but this time they looked around first. They had fun and learned a lesson. They were happy.
+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 lion and Ben was a monkey. They roared and chattered and jumped around.
+
+But after a while, they started to feel tired. Mia yawned and rubbed her eyes. Ben yawned too and stretched his arms. They looked at each other and smiled.
+
+"Are you sleepy, Mia?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, I am. Are you sleepy, Ben?" Mia answered.
+
+"Yes, I am. Do you want to go to bed, Mia?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. Do you want to go to bed, Ben?" Mia answered.
+
+"Yes, I do. But I have one question, Mia." Ben said.
+
+"What is it, Ben?" Mia asked.
+
+"Can we take our toys with us?" Ben asked.
+
+Mia thought for a moment. She loved her toys. They were beautiful and soft and colorful. She wanted to hug them and dream with them. But she also knew that they had to share their toys with their brother and sister. And that they had to keep their room tidy.
+
+She looked at Ben and saw that he had the same question in his eyes. She decided to be a good friend and a good sister.
+
+"No, Ben. We can't take our toys with us. We have to put them back in the box. And we have to say good night to them. They are tired too, you know." Mia said.
+
+Ben nodded. He understood. He loved his toys, but he also loved Mia and his brother and sister. And he wanted to be a good friend and a good brother.
+
+"Okay, Mia. You are right. Let's put our toys back in the box. And let's say good night to them. They are beautiful and we love them." Ben said.
+
+They did as they said. They put their toys back in the box. They said good night to them. They gave them a kiss and a hug. Then they walked to their bedroom. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They climbed into their beds and snuggled under their blankets.
+
+They looked at each other and smiled.
+
+"Good night, Mia." Ben said.
+
+"Good night, Ben." Mia said.
+
+They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of their toys and their friends and their family. They were happy and peaceful. They were beautiful and loved.
+Tom and Anna liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could build anything they wanted with their blocks.
+
+One day, they decided to build a church with their blocks. They found some white blocks, some blue blocks, and some yellow blocks. They put the white blocks together to make a big house. They put the blue blocks on top of the house to make a roof. They put the yellow blocks in front of the house to make a door.
+
+"Look, we made a church!" Tom said. "It is very pretty and big!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Anna said. "But it needs something more. Let's make a cross with some red blocks. A cross is a sign of love and God."
+
+"OK, let's do that!" Tom said. They looked for some red blocks in their pile of blocks.
+
+But they could not find any red blocks. They only saw green blocks, purple blocks, and orange blocks. They searched and searched, but no red blocks.
+
+"Where are the red blocks?" Anna asked. "We need them to make a cross."
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe we used them all before."
+
+"Or maybe someone took them," Anna said. "Maybe it was Ben. He is very lazy. He does not like to play with blocks. He only likes to watch TV and eat snacks."
+
+"Let's go and see," Tom said. They left their church and went to Ben's room. They knocked on the door.
+
+"Ben, are you there?" Tom asked. "Can we come in?"
+
+There was no answer. They opened the door and saw Ben lying on his bed. He was watching TV and eating snacks. And he had all the red blocks on his bed.
+
+"Ben, why do you have all the red blocks?" Anna asked. "We need them to build a cross for our church."
+
+"Sorry, I don't want to share," Ben said. "I like the red blocks. They are my favorite. Go away and leave me alone."
+
+"That's not nice, Ben," Tom said. "You are being very selfish and lazy. You should share your blocks with us. And you should play with us, too. It is more fun than watching TV and eating snacks."
+
+"No, it's not," Ben said. "I don't like to build things. It is too hard and boring. I like to watch TV and eat snacks. They are easy and fun. Now go away and leave me alone."
+
+Tom and Anna were very sad and angry. They did not like Ben's attitude. They decided to leave him alone and go back to their church. They hoped that one day, Ben would learn to share and play with them. They also hoped that God would forgive him for being so lazy and selfish.
+Sara was a good girl who liked to help her mom with tasks. She knew how to make her bed, put away her toys, and feed the fish. But she also liked to play with her dolls and have tea parties. Sometimes, she forgot to do her tasks because she was having too much fun.
+
+One day, mom asked Sara to water the plants in the garden. Sara said yes, but then she saw her dolls and wanted to dress them up. She thought she could do both, but she spent a long time playing with her dolls and forgot about the plants. She did not know that the sun was very hot and the plants were very thirsty.
+
+When mom came home, she saw the plants and was very sad. They were all brown and dry and some had fallen over. She asked Sara what happened and Sara felt very guilty. She knew she had done a bad thing and she was sorry. She told mom the truth and said she was sorry. Mom was not happy, but she hugged Sara and said she forgave her. She said Sara had to learn to do her tasks first and then play. She said they could try to save the plants together.
+
+Sara nodded and said she understood. She said she loved mom and the plants and she would do better next time. She helped mom water the plants and hoped they would grow again. She learned her lesson and did not forget her tasks again. She still played with her dolls, but only after she did her tasks. She was a good girl who liked to help her mom with tasks.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys and they made a castle with blocks and a tent with a blanket. They were having fun, but they wanted a friend to join them.
+
+They saw Rose, the girl who lived next door, walking by with her mom. Rose had a pretty dress and a bow in her hair. She smiled at Lily and Ben.
+
+"Hi, Rose!" Lily called. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Rose looked at her mom, who nodded. "Yes, please!" Rose said. She ran to the garden and hugged Lily and Ben.
+
+"What are you playing?" Rose asked.
+
+"We are playing castle," Ben said. "I am the king and Lily is the queen. You can be the princess."
+
+Rose was happy. She liked princesses. She looked at the castle and the tent. "Where can I sleep?" she asked.
+
+"You can sleep in the tent," Lily said. "It is cozy and warm. Come, I will show you."
+
+Lily and Rose went inside the tent. It was small, but it fit them both. They had pillows and blankets and stuffed animals. They pretended to sleep and snore.
+
+Ben joined them in the tent. He brought a book and a flashlight. He said he would read them a story. He turned on the flashlight and opened the book.
+
+"Once upon a time, there was a castle in the forest," he began.
+
+Lily and Rose listened. They liked the story. They felt happy and safe in the tent with Ben. They were glad they had a friend to join them. They smiled and closed their eyes. They dreamed of castles and princesses and roses.
+Ben and Lily are friends who live next to each other. They like to play in their backyards with their toys and balls. Sometimes they jump over the fence to visit each other. They have a lot of fun together.
+
+One day, a new neighbor moves in on the other side of Ben's house. He is a big man with a big dog. He does not like children or noise. He is very nosy and always watches what Ben and Lily do. He yells at them when they jump over the fence or make too much noise. He scares them with his dog.
+
+Ben and Lily are sad and afraid. They do not want to play in their backyards anymore. They miss each other. They wish the new neighbor would go away.
+
+One day, Ben has an idea. He tells Lily to come to his backyard. He shows her a big sign he made. It says "We are friends. We like to play. Please be nice to us." He asks Lily to help him hang the sign on the fence. They hope the new neighbor will see it and change his mind.
+
+The next day, the new neighbor sees the sign. He feels sorry for being so mean to Ben and Lily. He realizes they are just children who want to have fun. He decides to be nicer to them. He smiles at them and says hello. He lets them jump over the fence and play with his dog. He even gives them some cookies.
+
+Ben and Lily are happy and surprised. They thank the new neighbor and share the cookies with him. They become friends. They learn that sometimes people can be nosy and grumpy, but they can also be kind and friendly. They learn to be brave and polite. They learn to respect each other.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has a ball in his mouth. Tom wants the ball. He runs to the dog and says, "Give me the ball!"
+
+The dog growls and shows his teeth. He has many big teeth. Some are white and some are yellow. One tooth is very long and sharp. Tom is scared. He runs away from the dog.
+
+Sue laughs at Tom. She says, "You are foolish, Tom. You cannot take the ball from the dog. The dog will bite you with his tooth. Look at his tooth. It is scary."
+
+Tom is angry. He says, "I am not foolish, Sue. You are foolish. You laugh at me, but you do not help me. You are a bad friend."
+
+Sue is sorry. She says, "I am sorry, Tom. I did not mean to hurt you. I was just joking. You are a good friend. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tom is still angry. He says, "No, I do not want to play with you. You are mean. Go away."
+
+Sue is sad. She walks away from Tom. She says, "Bye, Tom. I hope you are happy."
+
+Tom is alone. He looks at the dog. The dog still has the ball in his mouth. The dog wags his tail. He looks friendly. Tom thinks, "Maybe the dog is not so bad. Maybe he wants to play with me."
+
+Tom walks to the dog. He says, "Hello, dog. Can I play with you?"
+
+The dog barks and drops the ball. He licks Tom's face. He is happy. Tom is happy. He says, "You are a good dog. You are a good friend. Can I have the ball?"
+
+The dog nods and gives the ball to Tom. Tom throws the ball and the dog chases it. They play together. They have fun.
+
+Sue watches them. She feels lonely. She thinks, "Maybe I was foolish. Maybe I should say sorry to Tom. Maybe he will play with me again."

+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a kite and a bike. They have fun with their toys.
+
+One day, it is very dull. The sky is grey and the wind is cold. Anna and Ben do not want to go to the park. They want to stay at home.
+
+"Let's play in the bath," Anna says. "We can make bubbles and splash water."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But I want to bring my boat. I can make it sail in the water."
+
+They go to the bathroom and fill the tub with water. They put soap and toys in the water. They laugh and play in the bath.
+
+Soon, they are tired and warm. They dry themselves with towels and put on their pajamas. They go to their bedroom and lie on their beds.
+
+"Anna, do you know what a dream is?" Ben asks.
+
+"A dream is something you see when you sleep," Anna says. "Sometimes it is nice, sometimes it is scary."
+
+"What do you dream about?" Ben asks.
+
+"I dream about flying in the sky with my kite," Anna says. "Or swimming in the sea with the fish. What do you dream about?"
+
+"I dream about riding my bike on a big hill," Ben says. "Or sailing my boat on a big lake. I like to dream."

+They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream about their toys and their adventures. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben were playing with crayons. They liked to draw on paper and make pictures. Anna had a red crayon and Ben had a blue one. They were having fun.
+
+But then Ben saw Anna's picture. It was a house with a big sun and a tree. Ben liked Anna's picture. He wanted to make it too. He took his blue crayon and started to mark over Anna's picture.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Anna said. "That is my picture. You are making it bad."
+
+"No, I am making it good," Ben said. "I like your picture. I want to have it."
+
+"But it is my picture," Anna said. "It is my memory of our home. You can't have it. You have to make your own picture. Your own original picture."
+
+Ben did not listen. He kept marking over Anna's picture. Anna got angry. She grabbed her red crayon and tried to take it back. They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and yelled.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She came to see what was wrong. She saw the paper with the marks. She saw Anna and Ben with the crayons. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why are you fighting? Why are you ruining the picture?"
+
+Anna and Ben stopped. They looked at Mom. They looked at the paper. They felt bad.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," they said. "We were playing with crayons. But Ben wanted my picture. And I wanted my picture. And we fought."
+
+Mom sighed. She took the paper and the crayons. She said, "You should not fight over a picture. You should share and be nice. You should respect each other's work. You should be creative and original. You should make your own memories. Not mark over someone else's."
+
+She gave them each a new paper and a new crayon. She said, "Now, try again. And this time, be kind and careful. And show me what you can do."

+Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Okay, Mom." They took the paper and the crayon. They started to draw. They made their own pictures. They did not mark over each other's. They were happy.
+Sam and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on it. But there is a rope in front of the slide. It says "Do not go. Slide is hot."
+
+Sam says, "I want to go on the slide. It looks fun."
+
+Mia says, "No, Sam. The rope says no. The slide is hot. It will hurt you."
+
+Sam does not listen. He squeezes under the rope. He runs to the slide. He puts his hand on the slide. Ouch! The slide is very hot. He cries.
+
+Mia runs to Sam. She hugs him. She says, "I told you, Sam. The slide is hot. You should listen to the rope. Are you okay?"
+
+Sam says, "I'm sorry, Mia. You are right. The slide is hot. It is not fun. It is bad. My hand hurts."
+
+Mia says, "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. Let's go to the swings. They are not hot. They are fun."

+
+They see a sandbox and run to it. They find some toys in the sandbox. They see a bucket, a shovel, a rake, and a skeleton. The skeleton is made of plastic. It has a head, a body, and bones. Tom says, "Look, a skeleton!" Mia says, "What is that?" Tom says, "It is like us, but with no skin or hair." Mia says, "Oh, I see. It is scary!" Tom says, "No, it is not. It is cool. Let's play with it."
+
+They dig a hole in the sand with the shovel. They put the skeleton in the hole. They cover it with sand. They use the rake to make the sand smooth. They use the bucket to make a hill next to the hole. They say, "We made a grave for the skeleton." They pretend to be ghosts and make spooky noises.
+
+They hear their mom calling them. They say, "Time to go home!" They leave the sandbox. They take the toys with them. They put them in a pile near the bench. They say, "We are tidy. We put the toys back." They run to their mom. She hugs them and says, "You had a good time, I see. Did you play with the skeleton?" They nod and say, "Yes, we did. It was fun!"

+Lisa was very happy today. She had a big smile on her face. She had lost her first tooth. She put it under her pillow before she went to sleep. She hoped the tooth fairy would come and give her a coin.
+
+She dreamed of candy and cake and ice cream. She loved sweet things. They were delicious. She remembered the time she went to the fair with her mom and dad. They bought her a big cotton candy. It was pink and fluffy and melted in her mouth. She ate it all and licked her fingers.
+
+She woke up in the morning and felt under her pillow. She found a shiny coin. She was so excited. She ran to show her mom and dad. They hugged her and praised her. They said she was a big girl now. They said they were proud of her.
+
+She put the coin in her piggy bank. She wanted to save it for something special. Maybe she would buy more candy. Or maybe she would buy a new book. Or maybe she would buy a gift for her friend. She had many ideas.
+
+She brushed her teeth with her new toothbrush. It was pink and had a picture of a princess on it. She liked it very much. She wanted to keep her teeth clean and healthy. She hoped the tooth fairy would come again soon. She wondered when she would lose another tooth. She smiled and looked in the mirror. She saw a small gap in her mouth. She thought it was cute. She was very happy today.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their ball. Every morning, they would go to the park and pass the ball to each other. They had a lot of fun and were cheerful.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Tim and he had no ball. He watched Ben and Sam play and wished he could join them. He was shy and did not know how to ask.
+
+Ben saw Tim and said to Sam, "Look, there is a new boy. He has no ball. Maybe we can let him play with us." Sam did not like the idea. He said, "No, this is our ball. We don't know him. He might break it or lose it."
+
+Ben felt sorry for Tim and said, "But he looks lonely and sad. It is not nice to be selfish. We have enough fun with our ball. We can share it and make a new friend." Sam did not listen. He said, "No, no, no. Go away, new boy. This is our ball."
+
+Tim heard Sam and felt hurt. He turned away and walked to the other side of the park. He sat on a bench and cried. Ben felt bad and followed him. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" Tim looked up and said, "I'm Tim. I'm new here. I have no ball and no friends." Ben said, "I'm sorry. My brother was rude. He does not like to share. But I do. Do you want to play with me and my ball?" Tim smiled and said, "Yes, please. Thank you. You are very kind."
+
+Ben and Tim went back to the park and passed the ball to each other. They had a lot of fun and were cheerful. Sam saw them and felt left out. He realized he was wrong and said, "I'm sorry, Tim. I was mean. Can I play with you too?" Tim said, "Sure, you can. It's more fun to play together." Ben said, "Yes, it is. And it's more fun to share and be nice." Sam said, "You're right. I learned my lesson. Can we be friends?" Tim and Ben said, "Yes, we can."
+
+The three boys played with the ball until it was time to go home. They hugged and said goodbye. They promised to meet again the next morning. They were happy and cheerful.
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. It is better to be generous and friendly than to be selfish and rude. You can make new friends and have more fun by sharing what you have.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. She liked to pretend that her dolls were her friends and invite them to tea parties. She had a nice tea set with cups, plates and a pot.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big turkey in the garden. She thought it was a funny bird. She wanted to make friends with it. She ran to the kitchen and got some bread. She threw some bread to the turkey and said, "Hello, turkey! Do you want to come to my tea party?"
+
+The turkey gobbled and followed Lily to her dollhouse. Lily was very happy. She gave the turkey a hat and a scarf and a plate. She poured some tea for the turkey and herself. She said, "This is my dollhouse. These are my dolls. They are very nice. You can be my guest."
+
+The turkey gobbled and ate the bread and the tea. He looked at the dolls and the furniture. He felt hungry. He thought, "This is not a tea party. This is a feast. These are not dolls. These are snacks. This is not a guest. This is a host."
+
+The turkey gobbled and grabbed a doll with his beak. He tore it apart and swallowed it. Lily was shocked. She screamed, "No, turkey! That is my doll! That is not food! You are not nice! You are mean!"
+
+The turkey gobbled and grabbed another doll. He did the same thing. Lily cried and ran to her mom. She said, "Mom, mom! The turkey is eating my dolls! He is not a friend! He is a monster!"
+
+Her mom came and saw the mess. She saw the turkey with a doll in his mouth. She said, "Oh, no! That is a bad turkey! He is not a pet! He is a pest! We have to get rid of him!"
+
+She grabbed a broom and chased the turkey away. She said, "Go away, turkey! You are not welcome here! You are not invited to our tea party!"
+
+The turkey gobbled and ran away. He was scared and sorry. He thought, "That was a bad idea. That was not a tea party. That was a trap. That was not a friend. That was a foe."
+Tom and Mia liked to play with the big machine in the basement. It had many buttons and lights and made funny noises. Sometimes, they pretended it was a spaceship or a time machine or a robot.
+
+One day, they found a new button on the machine. It was red and shiny and said "pause". They wondered what it did. Tom said, "Let's press it and see." Mia said, "No, maybe it's dangerous. Mom and Dad said not to touch the machine." Tom said, "Don't be scared. It's just a game. I'll press it and nothing will happen."
+
+Tom pressed the button and the machine made a loud beep. Then, everything stopped. The lights went off, the noises stopped, and the basement was very quiet. Tom and Mia looked around and saw that everything was frozen. The clock, the cat, the spider, even Mom and Dad upstairs. They were all paused.
+
+Tom and Mia were scared. They tried to press the button again, but it didn't work. They tried to call Mom and Dad, but they didn't answer. They tried to go upstairs, but the door was locked. They were stuck in the basement with the machine.
+
+They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had listened to Mom and Dad. They wished they had never pressed the button. They wished they could go back to their normal game. They were very sleepy, but they didn't want to sleep. They wanted to wake up from this bad dream. They hoped someone would come and help them. They hoped the machine would start again. They hoped.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a chubby doll with a pink dress and Ben had a red car that made noises. They liked to make stories with their toys and pretend they were going on adventures.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is very fast and strong," Ben said, making his car zoom around the carpet. "It can go anywhere and do anything."
+
+"My doll is very pretty and kind," Lily said, holding her doll close to her chest. "She likes to help people and animals and make them happy."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They were having fun.
+
+But then, their mom came into the living room and said, "Shh, kids, you are making too much noise. Your baby brother is sleeping in his crib and he needs his nap. You have to be quiet and play gently."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom, we will be quiet."
+
+They tried to play with their toys without making any noise, but it was hard. They missed the sounds of their car and their doll. They felt bored and sad.
+
+They looked at each other and had an idea. They whispered to each other and nodded.
+
+They got up and tiptoed to the baby's room. They peeked inside and saw their baby brother sleeping peacefully in his crib. He was chubby and cute and had a pacifier in his mouth.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and quietly went inside. They put their toys next to the crib, next to the baby. They thought the baby would like their toys and they wanted to share with him.
+
+They kissed the baby gently on his cheek and said, "We love you, baby brother. We hope you like our toys. We will play with you when you wake up."
+
+They left the room and closed the door softly. They felt happy and proud.
+
+They went back to the living room and sat on the couch. They hugged each other and smiled. They enjoyed the silence.
+Lily and Tom like to play with their old glass jar. They catch bugs and put them in the jar. They look at the bugs and learn their names. They are careful not to hurt the bugs.
+
+One day, they see a big butterfly. It has many colors on its wings. Lily and Tom want to catch it and see it up close. They run after the butterfly with their jar. They try to be quiet and fast.
+
+But the butterfly is too smart. It flies away from them. It goes over the fence and into the garden. Lily and Tom follow it. They do not see the dog that lives in the garden. The dog sees them and barks.
+
+Lily and Tom get scared. They drop their jar. The jar breaks on the ground. The glass makes a loud noise. The dog runs to the glass and sniffs it. Lily and Tom run back to the fence. They are sad. They lost their jar and their butterfly.
+
+They go home and tell their mom what happened. Their mom hugs them and says it is okay. She says they can get a new jar and find more bugs. She says they should be careful not to go into other people's gardens. She says they should be nice to the dog and say sorry. Lily and Tom nod and say yes. They are still sad, but they feel better. They hope the butterfly is happy too.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play outside when it is sunny. But today it is rainy. Lila and Ben are sad. They want to go out and have fun.
+
+"Look, I have an umbrella!" Lila says. She shows Ben her umbrella. It is pink and has flowers on it. "We can use it to go out and play!"
+
+Ben smiles. He likes Lila's umbrella. He thinks it is pretty. "OK, let's go!" he says. He puts on his boots and his coat. Lila and Ben hold the umbrella together and go out.
+
+The rain is falling hard. It makes noise on the umbrella. Lila and Ben laugh. They jump in the puddles and splash water. They see a big rainbow in the sky. They think it is beautiful.
+
+The umbrella is flexible. It bends when the wind blows. Lila and Ben have to hold it tight. They do not want to lose it. They have fun with the umbrella. They pretend it is a boat, a tent, a hat, and a kite. They use it for many things.
+
+Lila and Ben are happy. They do not mind the rain. They have each other and the umbrella. They play until the rain stops. Then they go back home. They hug and say goodbye. They are still friends. They will play again soon.
+Lila and Tom are playing doctor and patient. Lila is the doctor and Tom is the patient. Lila has a toy stethoscope and a bandage. Tom has a teddy bear and a pillow.
+
+"Hello, patient Tom," Lila says. "What is wrong with you today?"
+
+"I have a sore tummy," Tom says. "And my teddy bear too."
+
+Lila puts the stethoscope on Tom's chest and listens. Then she puts it on the teddy bear's chest and listens. She nods and smiles.
+
+"I know what you need," she says. "You need some medicine and a bandage. I will prepare them for you."
+
+Lila goes to the kitchen and looks for some medicine. She sees a bottle of vinegar and thinks it is medicine. She pours some vinegar into a cup and adds some sugar. She thinks she is very clever. Then she takes the bandage and goes back to Tom.
+
+"Here you are, patient Tom," she says. "Drink this medicine and I will wrap this bandage around your tummy. You will feel better soon."
+
+Tom trusts Lila and drinks the medicine. He makes a face and spits it out. It is very sour and nasty. He starts to cry.
+
+"Yuck, yuck, yuck!" he says. "This is not medicine, this is vinegar! It hurts my mouth and my tummy!"
+
+Lila is surprised and scared. She did not mean to hurt Tom. She tries to hug him and say sorry, but he pushes her away. He is very angry and sad.
+
+"Go away, Lila!" he says. "You are a bad doctor and a bad friend! I don't want to play with you anymore!"
+
+Lila runs away and cries. She feels very sorry and stupid. She wishes she had not given Tom vinegar. She wishes she had not played doctor and patient. She wishes she had a real friend.
+Sara liked to play with her sailor doll. She got it from her dad, who was a real sailor. He said it was a special gift, and she had to keep it safe. Sara loved her sailor doll very much. She gave it a name, Sam, and a hat, and a boat.
+
+One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and her sailor doll. She saw a big pond with ducks and fish. She wanted to make her sailor doll happy. She thought he would like to sail on the pond. She put him in his boat and pushed him gently. He floated away, waving his hat.
+
+Sara smiled and clapped. She watched her sailor doll sail on the pond. But then, a strong wind came. It blew hard and made the water splash. Sara's sailor doll and his boat tipped over. They sank under the water. Sara gasped and cried. She ran to the edge of the pond. She tried to reach her sailor doll, but he was too far. She called his name, but he did not answer.
+
+Sara's mom heard her cry and came to help. She saw what happened and hugged Sara. She said she was sorry and that they would try to find her sailor doll. She said he was a brave sailor and that he would be okay. She said they had to be careful with delicate things, like dolls and boats. She said they could make a new boat and a new hat for him, if they found him.
+
+Sara nodded and wiped her tears. She hoped her sailor doll was okay. She hoped he would come back to her. She hoped he knew she loved him. She hoped he would keep sailing, even under the water.
+One day, a little girl named Anna went to the woods with her dad. They wanted to see some animals and plants. Anna liked the woods, but she was also a bit scared of the dark and the noises.
+
+As they walked, they saw a big, dirty wolf laying on the ground. He looked very sick and sad. Anna felt sorry for the wolf, but her dad told her to stay away. He said the wolf might bite or scratch them.
+
+Anna wanted to help the wolf. She found some water and berries and put them near the wolf. She also found a soft leaf and put it on his head. She hoped the wolf would feel better soon.
+
+The wolf saw Anna and her dad. He was surprised and grateful. He did not bite or scratch them. He licked Anna's hand and wagged his tail. He ate some of the water and berries and felt a little stronger.
+
+Anna and her dad smiled at the wolf. They said goodbye and continued their walk. The wolf watched them go and thanked them in his heart. He felt happy and hopeful. He decided to find a new home and some friends in the woods. He knew Anna and her dad were kind and brave. He hoped to see them again someday.
+Jill and Jack like to play in the park. They see a big tree with a hole. They want to look inside the hole. They rush to the tree and peek in.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Jack says. He pulls out a shiny jewel from the hole. It is red and sparkly. "This is so pretty!"
+
+"Let me see!" Jill says. She tries to grab the jewel from Jack. Jack does not want to share. He holds the jewel tight. "No, it is mine!"
+
+They start to fight over the jewel. They pull and push and yell. They do not see the big snake that lives in the hole. The snake is angry. It does not like the noise. It comes out of the hole and bites Jack on the leg.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Jack screams. He drops the jewel and falls to the ground. He feels sick and dizzy. The snake slithers away with the jewel.
+
+Jill is scared. She runs to get help. She sees a man with a phone. She tells him what happened. The man calls an ambulance. He says Jack needs to go to the hospital. He says the snake is very bad. He says the jewel is not worth it.
+
+Jill cries. She wishes she did not fight with Jack. She wishes they did not find the jewel. She thinks the jewel is ugly. She hopes Jack will be okay. She is sorry.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play games together. Today they want to play a new game. They see a big box in the garden. The box has a picture of a rabbit on it.
+
+"What is this game?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Lily says.
+
+They open the box and find many cards inside. The cards have words and pictures on them. Some words are easy, like cat and dog. Some words are hard, like spring and intelligent.
+
+"How do we play this game?" Lily asks.
+
+"Maybe we have to match the words and the pictures," Tom says.
+
+They start to play. They take turns to pick a card and find the matching picture. Tom picks a card that says spring. He looks for a picture of a spring.
+
+"Is this a spring?" he asks, pointing to a picture of a flower.
+
+"No, that is not a spring. A spring is something that jumps," Lily says.
+
+"Like a frog?" Tom asks, pointing to another picture.
+
+"No, not like a frog. A spring is something that you can put in a toy or a clock," Lily says.
+
+"I don't see a picture of that," Tom says.
+
+"Me neither. Maybe this game is too hard for us," Lily says.
+
+They put the card back in the box and pick another one. Lily picks a card that says intelligent. She looks for a picture of something intelligent.
+
+"Is this intelligent?" she asks, pointing to a picture of a book.
+
+"Yes, a book is intelligent. It has many words and stories in it," Tom says.
+
+"Is this intelligent?" she asks, pointing to a picture of a monkey.
+
+"Yes, a monkey is intelligent. It can do tricks and learn things," Tom says.
+
+"Is this intelligent?" she asks, pointing to a picture of a star.
+
+"No, a star is not intelligent. It is just bright and shiny," Tom says.
+
+"I think I know what is intelligent," Lily says.
+
+"What is it?" Tom asks.
+
+She points to Tom and says, "You are intelligent. You are my friend and you know many things."
+
+Tom smiles and says, "You are intelligent too. You are my friend and you are very smart."
+
+They hug and say, "We are intelligent. We like to play games and learn new words."
+
+They put the card back in the box and pick another one. They have fun playing the game and finding the pictures. They are happy and proud of themselves. They are intelligent friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They also liked to twist and turn and spin around. They pretended they were dancers or airplanes or tops.
+
+One day, they found a big pile of clothes on the grass. It was Mom's laundry. She had hung it on the line to dry, but the wind had blown it down. Lily and Ben thought it looked like fun. They ran to the pile and started to pick up the clothes.
+
+"Look, I'm a princess!" Lily said, putting a dress on her head. "And you're a knight!" She gave Ben a shirt to wear.
+
+"Or a pirate!" Ben said, tying the shirt around his waist. "Arrr!" He picked up a sock and waved it like a sword.
+
+They laughed and played with the clothes. They twisted and turned and spun around. They did not see Mom coming.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Mom asked, looking at the mess. "Those are my clean clothes!"
+
+Lily and Ben stopped and looked at Mom. They felt bad. They had been clumsy and naughty. They had made Mom's work harder.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they said together. "We were just playing."
+
+Mom sighed. She was not very angry, but she was not very happy either. She loved her children, but she wished they would be more careful.
+
+"Come on, help me pick up the clothes," she said. "Then you can play with something else."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They took off the clothes and put them back in the pile. They helped Mom carry them to the line. They said sorry again.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She knew they did not mean to be bad. They were just having fun.
+
+"Next time, ask me before you play with my clothes," she said. "And be careful not to twist and turn and spin too much. You might get dizzy and fall down."
+
+Lily and Ben promised. They learned their lesson. They still liked to twist and turn and spin, but they did it with their own clothes or toys. And they always asked Mom first.
+Lily liked to feed the ducks at the pond. She had a big bag of bread and she threw some pieces into the water. The ducks came closer and quacked happily. Lily smiled and felt proud.
+
+But then she saw a boy with a toy boat. He was a sailor and he had a hat and a jacket. He put his boat in the pond and made it sail. The boat was red and shiny and it had a flag. Lily thought it was very pretty.
+
+She wanted to play with the boat too. She walked over to the boy and said, "Can I have a turn?"
+
+The boy shook his head and said, "No, this is my boat. Go away."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She was jealous of the boy and his boat. She decided to take the boat from him. She waited until he was not looking and then she grabbed the boat and ran away.
+
+The boy saw her and shouted, "Hey, that's mine! Give it back!"
+
+He chased after her and tried to get his boat. Lily ran faster and faster, but she did not see a big rock. She tripped and fell and the boat flew out of her hands. It landed on the ground and broke into pieces.
+
+Lily and the boy both cried. They looked at the broken boat and felt sorry. They realized they had been mean to each other. They said, "I'm sorry."
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to share the bread and feed the ducks together. The ducks came back and quacked happily. Lily and the boy smiled and felt happy too.
+Tom was a tall boy who liked to play with animals. He had a pet bird named Sky, who lived in a cage in his room. Tom loved Sky, but he also wanted to see him fly.
+
+One day, Tom had an idea. He took Sky's cage outside and set it on the grass. He opened the door and said, "Sky, you can fly now. Go and see the trees and the clouds. I will wait for you here."
+
+Sky was scared at first. He had never been outside his cage before. He looked at Tom, who smiled and nodded. Sky trusted Tom, so he flew out of the cage. He felt the wind and the sun on his feathers. He saw the flowers and the bugs. He was happy.
+
+But Tom did not know that there was a cat nearby. The cat saw Sky and licked his lips. He crept closer and closer to the cage, hoping to catch Sky when he came back. Tom did not see the cat. He was busy watching Sky.
+
+Sky flew for a long time, but he started to miss Tom. He wanted to go back to his cage and his friend. He turned around and flew towards the grass. But then he saw the cat, who was waiting for him. Sky was afraid. He cried out, "Tom, help me! There is a cat!"
+
+Tom heard Sky and looked down. He saw the cat and gasped. He ran to the cage and grabbed it. He shouted, "Go away, cat! Leave Sky alone!" He waved the cage at the cat, who hissed and ran away.
+
+Sky flew back to the cage and went inside. He was safe. Tom closed the door and hugged the cage. He said, "Sky, I'm sorry. I wanted you to have fun, but I put you in danger. I will never let you out again. You are my best friend."
+
+Sky chirped and nuzzled Tom. He said, "Tom, thank you. You saved me. You are my best friend too. But I liked flying. Maybe we can do it again, but with no cats around."
+
+Tom smiled and nodded. He said, "Maybe we can, Sky. Maybe we can." He carried the cage back to his room, where they both had a nap.
+Anna and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they saw crabs crawling out of the water. They were small and red and had big claws.
+
+"Look, there's a crab!" Ben said, pointing to a rock. "Let's catch it!"
+
+Anna was scared of crabs. She thought they might pinch her. "No, I don't want to," she said.
+
+"Come on, don't be a baby," Ben said. "I dare you to touch it!"
+
+Anna didn't like being called a baby. She wanted to show Ben that she was brave. She took a deep breath and walked towards the rock. She reached out her hand and touched the crab's shell. It felt hard and bumpy.
+
+"Wow, you did it!" Ben said. "You're so gifted!"
+
+Anna smiled. She felt proud of herself. She looked at the crab and saw that it was not moving. She wondered if it was sleeping.
+
+"Can we keep it?" she asked Ben.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Ben said. "Let's find a bucket and some water."
+
+They ran to their mom and asked for a bucket. She gave them one and told them to be careful with the crab. They filled the bucket with water and put the crab inside. They named it Claws and decided to make it their pet. They had fun playing with Claws and showing him to their friends. They learned that crabs were not so scary after all.
+Tom and Anna like to play with their toy trains. They have a big track with bridges, tunnels and stations. They have many engines of different colors and sizes. Tom's favorite engine is red and fast. Anna's favorite engine is blue and shiny.
+
+One day, they are playing in their room when Tom sees Anna's engine. He wants to try it. He says, "Anna, can I play with your engine? It is so beautiful."
+
+Anna says, "No, Tom. This is my engine. You have your own engine. Go play with it."
+
+Tom feels angry. He thinks Anna is not fair. He tries to grab Anna's engine from her hand. Anna holds it tight. They start to pull and push. They shout, "Mine! Mine!"
+
+Their mom hears them. She comes to their room. She sees them fighting. She says, "Stop, Tom and Anna. What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a toy?"
+
+Tom and Anna stop. They look at their mom. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, mom."
+
+Mom says, "It is not nice to fight with your sister or brother. You should share and take turns. Playing is more fun when you are kind and gentle. Now, relax and calm down. Give each other a hug and say sorry."
+
+Tom and Anna hug each other. They say, "Sorry, Anna. Sorry, Tom."
+
+Mom says, "That's good. Now, you can play with your trains again. But remember, be careful with your engines. They are not real. They can break if you are rough with them."
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They say, "Okay, mom. We will be careful."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Good. Have fun, my little engineers."
+
+She leaves them to play. Tom and Anna play with their engines. They take turns and share. They make sounds and stories. They have fun. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to draw. They had many colorful crayons and papers to make pictures. They liked to draw animals, flowers, cars, and houses. Sometimes they drew together, and sometimes they drew by themselves.
+
+One day, their mom said, "We are going on a vacation soon. We will go to the beach and see the ocean. Do you want to draw something for the vacation?"
+
+Anna and Ben were very happy. They wanted to see the ocean and play in the sand. They said, "Yes, mom, we want to draw something for the vacation!"
+
+They took their crayons and papers and started to draw. Anna drew a big sun, a blue ocean, and a yellow sandcastle. Ben drew a red boat, a green palm tree, and a brown crab. They were very proud of their pictures.
+
+They showed their pictures to their mom. She smiled and said, "Wow, your pictures are very beautiful and colorful. You are very good at drawing. But do you know what would make them even better?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at their mom. They asked, "What, mom, what would make them better?"
+
+Their mom said, "If you add something from each other's pictures. For example, Anna, you can add a boat and a palm tree to your picture. And Ben, you can add a sun and a sandcastle to your picture. That way, you can share your ideas and make your pictures more interesting and fun."
+
+Anna and Ben thought that was a good idea. They said, "Okay, mom, we will try that." They took their crayons and added something from each other's pictures. They looked at their new pictures and saw that they were more colorful and beautiful than before. They were very happy.
+
+They hugged their mom and said, "Thank you, mom, for teaching us how to add. We learned that adding can make things better. We can't wait to go on the vacation and see the things we drew."
+
+Their mom hugged them back and said, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you learned something new. And I'm sure you will enjoy the vacation and have a lot of fun."
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a rabbit hopping on the grass. They wanted to pet the rabbit, but they were careful not to scare it.
+
+"Look, a rabbit!" Anna said. "It is so soft and cute."
+
+"Can we touch it?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe, but we have to be very quiet and slow," Anna said.
+
+They crawled closer to the rabbit, making no noise. The rabbit looked at them with its big eyes. It did not run away. It seemed to recognize them as friends.
+
+"Hello, rabbit," Anna whispered. "We are Anna and Ben. We like you."
+
+The rabbit twitched its nose and ears. It moved closer to them and sniffed their hands. Then it let them stroke its fur gently.
+
+"Wow, it likes us!" Ben said. "It is so warm and fluffy."
+
+They smiled and played with the rabbit for a while. They gave it some grass and carrots they had in their backpack. The rabbit ate happily and licked their fingers.
+
+They were very happy and thanked the rabbit for being so nice. They said goodbye and left the park, waving to the rabbit. The rabbit waved back with its paw and hopped away.
+Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They have a big hill near their house. They have a red sled and a blue sled.
+
+One day, they go to the hill with their sleds. They want to race down the hill. Lila takes the red sled and Tom takes the blue sled. They go to the top of the hill.
+
+"Are you ready?" Lila asks.
+
+"Yes, I am ready!" Tom says.
+
+"OK, let's go!" Lila says.
+
+They push their sleds and slide down the hill. They go very fast. They feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and shout.
+
+But then, Tom sees a big rock in his way. He tries to steer his sled away from the rock. But he slips on the snow and falls off his sled. His sled hits the rock and breaks.
+
+Lila sees Tom fall. She stops her sled and runs to him.
+
+"Tom, are you OK?" Lila asks.
+
+"I am OK, but my sled is not OK," Tom says. He looks at his broken sled and feels sad.
+
+"I am sorry, Tom," Lila says. "Do you want to share my sled?"
+
+Tom nods. He smiles at Lila. He is glad he has a nice sister.
+
+They take the red sled and go to the east side of the hill. They find a smooth and safe path. They slide down the hill together. They have fun and forget about the broken sled. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers with the hose. They took turns to hold the hose and spray the water. Sometimes they sprayed each other and laughed.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a patch of dirt with no flowers," Ben said. He pointed to a brown spot in the grass. "Let's plant some seeds there and make it pretty."
+
+"OK, Ben, that sounds fun," Lily said. She ran to the shed and got a packet of seeds and a small shovel. Ben followed her with the hose.
+
+They dug some holes in the patch of dirt and put some seeds in them. Then they covered them with more dirt and patted them gently. "Now we need to water them," Ben said. He turned on the hose and soaked the patch of dirt with water.
+
+"Be careful, Ben, don't use too much water," Lily said. "You might wash away the seeds."
+
+"Sorry, Lily, I just want them to grow fast," Ben said. He turned off the hose and put it down. "Do you think they will grow soon?"
+
+"I don't know, Ben, maybe we have to wait for a long time," Lily said. "But I'm sure they will be bright and beautiful when they do."
+
+They smiled at each other and hugged. Then they ran to the swing and played some more. They hoped that one day they would see their flowers in the patch of dirt.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to search for things in the grass and the sand. They found a shiny stone, a red feather and a broken toy car.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a boot!" Max said, holding up a big, black boot. "It is very dirty and smelly. Maybe someone left it here."
+
+"Let me see, Max," Lily said, taking the boot from him. "It is too big for you. And it has a hole in it. It is not a good boot."
+
+Lily threw the boot away. She saw something else in the sand. It was another boot. But this one was different. It was small, pink and had flowers on it.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you found a boot too!" Max said, running to her. "It is very pretty and clean. Maybe someone lost it here."
+
+Lily tried on the boot. It fit her foot. It was warm and soft. It was a perfect boot.
+
+"I like this boot, Max," Lily said, smiling. "It is just for me. Do you think there is another one like it?"
+
+Lily and Max searched for the other boot. They looked under the slide, behind the bench and in the trash can. But they could not find it.
+
+"Maybe it is gone, Lily," Max said, feeling sad. "Maybe someone took it away."
+
+Lily felt sad too. She liked her boot, but she wanted to have two. She did not want to have one boot and one shoe.
+
+"Wait, Lily, look there!" Max said, pointing to the swings. "I see something pink and flowery. Maybe it is the other boot!"
+
+Lily and Max ran to the swings. They saw a girl sitting on one of them. She had a pink and flowery boot on her foot. It was the same as Lily's boot.
+
+"Excuse me, girl," Lily said, politely. "Is that your boot?"
+
+The girl looked at Lily and Max. She saw Lily's boot. She smiled.
+
+"Yes, it is my boot," the girl said, happily. "But I lost the other one. I have been looking for it everywhere. Is that your boot?"
+
+Lily nodded. She showed the girl her boot. They were the same.
+
+"Wow, we have the same boots!" the girl said, excitedly. "They are very perfect boots. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Lily smiled. She liked the girl. She liked her boot. She liked her friend.
+
+"Yes, I want to be your friend," Lily said, kindly. "Do you want to share the boots?"
+
+The girl nodded. She took off her boot and gave it to Lily. Lily gave her boot to the girl. They put on the boots. They fit them both.
+
+"Thank you, friend," the girl said, gratefully. "Now we have two perfect boots each. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily and Max said yes. They played with the girl on the swings, the slide and the sand. They had fun. They were happy. They had perfect boots and perfect friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the park. One day, they observe a big slide. It looks fun and shiny.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Anna says.
+
+"OK!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They laugh and scream. They feel happy.
+
+But the slide is cold. It is winter. There is ice on the slide. Anna and Ben do not see the ice. They do not know it is slippery.
+
+Anna goes first. She sits on the slide. She pushes herself down. But she goes too fast. She cannot stop. She slides off the slide. She falls on the ground. She hurts her head. She cries.
+
+"Anna!" Ben shouts. He runs to her. He tries to help her. But he slips on the ice too. He falls on the slide. He slides down. He hits his leg on the metal. He bleeds. He cries too.
+
+"Help!" Anna and Ben scream. But no one hears them. No one comes. They are alone. They are cold. They are hurt. They are sad. The slide is not fun. The slide is bad.
+Lila and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a big sunflower that they water every day. The sunflower is tall and yellow and happy.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben see a worm on the sunflower. The worm is brown and slimy and hungry. It eats the sunflower's leaves and makes holes in them.
+
+Lila and Ben are sad and angry. They want to make the worm go away. Lila has an idea. She says, "Let's put salt on the worm. Salt will make the worm rot and die."
+
+Ben does not like Lila's idea. He says, "No, salt will hurt the sunflower too. Salt will make the sunflower dry and sick. We need to find another way."
+
+Lila is bossy. She does not listen to Ben. She says, "I am older than you. I know better. Salt will work. You do what I say."
+
+She takes a jar of salt from the kitchen and pours it on the worm and the sunflower. The worm wriggles and shrivels and stops moving. The sunflower wilts and droops and turns brown.
+
+Lila and Ben are shocked and sorry. They cry and hug the sunflower. They wish they could make it happy again. They learn a lesson. They should not be bossy and mean. They should be kind and gentle. They should love the sunflower and the worm.
+Lily liked to number the flowers on the lawn. She would point at each one and say, "One, two, three, four..." She wanted to count them all, but there were too many. She asked her big brother Ben to help her, but he was busy playing with his ball.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new flower on the lawn. It was big and red and shiny. She ran to it and said, "Wow, what a pretty flower! I will number it first." She bent down and touched the flower. But it was not a flower. It was a balloon. And it popped!
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She cried out loud. The balloon was gone, and her finger hurt. She felt helpless. She wanted her brother to come and hug her.
+
+Ben heard Lily cry. He dropped his ball and ran to her. He saw the balloon pieces and the lawn. He understood what happened. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That was my balloon. I left it on the lawn by mistake. It was not a flower. It was a toy."
+
+He picked up Lily and kissed her finger. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. I will help you number the flowers. There are many more on the lawn. They are real and beautiful. And they won't pop." He smiled and pointed at a yellow one. He said, "Look, this is one. Can you say one?"
+
+Lily stopped crying and nodded. She said, "One." She smiled and pointed at a blue one. She said, "Two." She felt better. She hugged her brother and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are the best brother ever." They numbered the flowers together until they were happy.
+Anna and Ben liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to make pretend food with pots and pans and spoons. One day, they saw a big jar of butter on the counter. They wanted to taste it.
+
+They climbed on a chair and opened the jar. They dipped their fingers in the butter and licked them. It was yummy and smooth. They dipped some more and more. They made a big mess on the counter and on their faces.
+
+Then they heard their mom coming. They were scared. They knew they were naughty. They tried to hide the jar and the chair. But it was too late. Mom saw them and the butter.
+
+She was not happy. She said, "Anna and Ben, what did you do? You wasted the butter and made a mess. You know you are not supposed to touch the butter. It is for cooking and spreading on bread. You are in trouble."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to taste the butter. It was yummy. But we were naughty. We will help you clean the mess. And we will not touch the butter again."
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "Thank you for saying sorry and for helping me. But you still have to go to your room and think about what you did. And no more butter for you today. Maybe tomorrow, if you are good, I will make you some toast with butter and jam."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They went to their room. They hoped mom would forgive them and restore the butter. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their toys instead of the butter. They said, "We love you, mom. And we love butter. But we will be good."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the big building where their mom works. One day, they sneak out of the playroom and go to the hall. They see a big box with buttons and a door. Anna says, "That is an elevator. It can take us up and down." Ben says, "Let's try it!"
+
+They push the button and the door opens. They go inside the elevator and see many buttons with numbers. Anna suggests, "Let's push the highest number. Maybe we can see the sky!" Ben agrees and pushes the button. The elevator starts to move up. Anna and Ben feel excited.
+
+But then, the elevator stops. The lights go off. Anna and Ben hear a loud noise. They feel scared. They hug each other and cry. They want their mom. They push the buttons, but nothing happens. They are stuck in the elevator.
+
+After a while, they hear a voice. It says, "Hello, is anyone there?" Anna and Ben say, "Yes, we are here! Help us!" The voice says, "Don't worry, I am a firefighter. I will get you out soon. Can you tell me your names and where your mom is?" Anna and Ben tell the voice their names and their mom's office number. The voice says, "OK, good. I will call your mom and tell her you are safe. Stay calm and wait for me."
+
+Soon, the door opens. Anna and Ben see a man in a green suit and a helmet. He has a big smile. He says, "Hello, Anna and Ben. I am here to rescue you. Come with me." He picks them up and carries them out of the elevator. He takes them to their mom, who is waiting for them. She hugs them and kisses them. She says, "I am so glad you are OK. I was very worried. Why did you go to the elevator?" Anna and Ben say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to see the sky. But the elevator broke. It was dark and scary. We won't do it again." Mom says, "I love you, but you have to be careful. The elevator is not a toy. It can be dangerous. Next time, listen to me and stay in the playroom." Anna and Ben say, "OK, mom. We love you too." They hug their mom and the firefighter. They say, "Thank you for saving us. You are very brave and kind." The firefighter says, "You are welcome. You are very brave and kind too. But remember, always ask an adult before you use the elevator." Anna and Ben nod and smile. They have learned their lesson. They are happy to be safe and with their mom.
+Lily was very happy. Today was her birthday and she was going to have a party. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She was ready to have fun.
+
+She ran downstairs and saw her mom and dad. They had balloons and cake and presents. They hugged her and said, "Happy birthday, Lily!" They sang a song and gave her a big kiss. Lily felt very loved.
+
+Then the doorbell rang. It was her friends. They came to celebrate with her. They brought cards and toys and flowers. They said, "Happy birthday, Lily!" They played games and danced and laughed. Lily felt very lucky.
+

+Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. But there is a yellow chain on the slide. The chain says "Do not go on the slide. It is broken."
+
+Lily says, "I want to go on the slide. It looks fun."
+
+Tom says, "No, Lily. We cannot go on the slide. The chain says no. It is not safe."
+
+Lily says, "But I really want to go on the slide. Maybe I can pick the chain and move it."
+
+Tom says, "No, Lily. That is not a good idea. The chain is there for a reason. If you pick the chain, you might get hurt. Or you might get in trouble."
+
+Lily says, "But I don't care. I want to go on the slide. I am going to pick the chain and go on the slide."
+
+Lily tries to pick the chain. But the chain is too heavy and too strong. She cannot pick the chain. She pulls and pulls, but the chain does not move. She gets tired and frustrated.
+
+Tom says, "See, Lily. You cannot pick the chain. It is too hard. Why don't we play something else? There are other things to do in the park. We can swing, or climb, or run, or play with the ball."
+
+Lily says, "Okay, Tom. You are right. I cannot pick the chain. It is too hard. And it is not fun. Let's play something else. Maybe we can swing, or climb, or run, or play with the ball."
+
+Lily and Tom leave the slide and the chain. They go to play something else. They have fun in the park. They are happy and safe.
+Lily liked to follow the raven. The raven was big and black and flew in the sky. Lily wanted to see where the raven went and what it did. She ran after the raven every day, even when her mom said no.
+
+One day, the raven flew very far away. Lily ran and ran, but she could not catch up. She did not see her mom or her house or her friends. She only saw trees and rocks and a distant mountain. She felt scared and lost.
+
+She heard a loud noise. It was the raven. It was sitting on a branch, looking at her. It made a sound like a laugh. Lily saw something shiny in its beak. It was her necklace. Her mom had given her the necklace for her birthday. The raven had taken it from her room.
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She wanted her necklace back. She shouted at the raven, but it did not listen. It flew away, with the necklace in its beak. Lily cried and cried. She wished she had never followed the raven.

+
+Tim hears Sam and giggles. He thinks he is smart and funny. He does not answer. He stays in the closet and waits.
+
+Sam hears Tim and runs to the closet. He tries to open the door. But the door does not open. It is locked. Tim locked himself in the closet by mistake.

+Lily was a very intelligent girl. She liked to read books and learn new things. She wanted to be a lawyer when she grew up, like her mom. She liked to help people and solve problems.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and her little brother, Ben. Ben was not very intelligent. He liked to play with dirt and bugs. He did not like to read books or learn new things. He liked to annoy Lily and make her angry.
+
+At the park, Lily found a nice bench to sit on and read her book. She was reading a story about a brave lawyer who helped a poor family. She was very interested and happy. Ben saw her and decided to have some fun. He sneaked behind her and poked her in the back. Lily jumped and dropped her book. She turned around and saw Ben laughing.
+
+"Ben, stop it!" she shouted. "You are very rude and mean. Go away and leave me alone!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He poked her again and ran away. Lily was very angry and sad. She picked up her book and tried to read again. But Ben came back and poked her a third time. Lily had enough. She stood up and chased Ben. She was faster and smarter than him. She caught him and gave him a big push. Ben fell on the ground and started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Ben on the ground and Lily standing over him. She was very disappointed and angry.
+
+"Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "Why did you push your brother? He is smaller and weaker than you. You should be nice and gentle with him."
+
+Lily tried to explain. "Mom, he was poking me and bothering me. He did not let me read my book. He was very rude and mean. I wanted him to stop."
+
+Mom shook her head. "Lily, that is no excuse. You are a very intelligent girl. You should know better than to use violence. Violence is not the answer. You should use your words and your brain to solve problems. That is what lawyers do. They use their words and their brain to help people and make things right. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She felt sorry and ashamed. She realized she was wrong. She looked at Ben and saw he had a scratch on his knee. She felt sorry for him too. She went to him and said, "Ben, I am sorry. I should not have pushed you. I was angry and frustrated. But that is no excuse. You are my brother and I love you. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Ben looked at her and saw she was sincere. He nodded and said, "Lily, I am sorry too. I should not have poked you and bothered you. I was bored and curious. But that is no excuse. You are my sister and I love you. I forgive you."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged and made up. Mom smiled and said, "That is very good. I am proud of you both. You have learned a valuable lesson today. You have learned to respect each other and to use your words and your brain to solve problems. That is what intelligent people do. That is what lawyers do. Maybe you can both be lawyers when you grow up."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Maybe we can, Mom. Maybe we can."

+
+Tommy was surprised to see the squirrel come back. He smiled and said, "Hello, squirrel! Do you want some cookie?" He broke the cookie in half and offered one piece to the squirrel. The squirrel took the piece and nibbled on it. It was good. It thanked Tommy and said, "This is a good cookie. Thank you for sharing with me. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, I want to play with you. You are a good squirrel. I'm sorry I was mean to you before. I learned that sharing is fun and makes friends."

+
+Mom pays the pizza man. She takes the box. She leads Anna and Ben to a table. She opens the box again. She gives them each a slice of pizza.
+
+"Be careful, it's hot." Mom says. She blows on her slice.
+
+Anna and Ben blow on their slices too. They take small bites. They chew and swallow. They smile.
+
+"Mmm, this is the best pizza ever!" Anna and Ben say. They are not impatient anymore. They are full and satisfied.
+Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and bridges. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, Anna, I made a big tower!" Ben says. He shows Anna his tower. It is very tall and has many blocks on top of each other.
+
+"Wow, Ben, your tower is very nice!" Anna says. She likes Ben's tower. She wants to make one too. She starts to stack blocks on her side of the table.
+
+But Anna does not see the glue. The glue is on the table, near her blocks. It is a big bottle of glue, with a cap that is not closed. Anna picks up a block that is next to the glue. She does not know that the block has glue on it.
+
+She puts the block on her tower. But the block is sticky. It sticks to her hand. Anna tries to pull it off, but it does not come off. She pulls harder, but the block stays on her hand.
+
+"Oh no, Anna, you have glue on your hand!" Ben says. He sees Anna's hand. He sees the glue on the block. He sees the glue on the table. He knows what happened.
+
+Anna feels the glue on her hand. She feels the block on her hand. She feels silly. She does not like the glue. She does not like the block. She wants to get rid of them.
+
+She shakes her hand. She shakes it very hard. She hopes the block will fall off. She hopes the glue will fall off. She shakes and shakes and shakes.
+
+But the block does not fall off. The glue does not fall off. Something else falls off. Anna's tower falls off. It falls off the table. It falls on the floor. It makes a loud noise. It breaks into many pieces.
+
+Anna and Ben look at the floor. They look at the broken tower. They look at each other. They do not know what to say.
+
+Then they start to laugh. They laugh very hard. They laugh at the silly glue. They laugh at the silly block. They laugh at the silly tower. They laugh at themselves.
+
+They are not mad. They are not sad. They are just silly. They are silly friends. They like to play with blocks. They like to play with glue. They like to play with each other. They have fun.
+Anna liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and papers to make pictures. She had a desk in her room where she could draw and keep her crayons. She enjoyed drawing animals and flowers and houses.

+
+Ben laughed. He thought Lily's face was funny too. He picked a berry and threw it at Lily. Lily dodged the berry and threw one back at Ben. They started a berry fight. They threw berries at each other and ran around the bush.

+
+Mom heard them and came out. She saw the dog and grabbed a stick. She waved the stick at the dog and shouted.
+
+"Go away! Go away! This is our garden. You are not welcome here. Leave the children alone!"
+
+The dog was scared of Mom and the stick. It stopped and turned around. It ran away from the garden. Mom threw the stick after it.

+Mom hugged them back and kissed them. She was glad they were safe.
+
+"It's okay, it's okay. You are safe now. That dog was bad and rude. It should not come here. I will tell the owner to keep it away. Come on, let's go inside. I have some cookies and milk for you. And no more berries, okay? They are not good for you."

+
+They took off their shoes and socks and ran on the carpet. It felt nice and warm. They laughed and shouted. Then they had an idea. They rolled up the carpet like a tube. They climbed inside the tube and rolled on the floor. It was fun and funny. They felt like they were in a tunnel.
+
+But they did not know that grandma was coming. She heard the noise and went to the hall. She saw the carpet rolled up and moving. She was angry and scared. She thought there was a snake or a rat inside. She grabbed a broom and hit the carpet hard.
+

+The woman looked at the table and saw the jar. "Wow, you have sold a lot of things. You are very smart," she said.
+
+Anna felt proud. She had sold a lot of things. She was very smart.
+
+The woman looked at the ball. "Do you want to sell the ball?" she asked.
+
+Anna shook her head. "No, thank you. I want to keep the ball. It is my favorite," she said.
+
+The woman nodded. "I understand. The ball is very pretty. It is orange, like the sun," she said.
+
+Anna nodded. "Yes, it is. It is orange, like the window in the book," she said.
+
+The woman looked curious. "The window in the book? What book?" she asked.
+
+Anna showed her the book that the man had bought. "The Orange Window," she said.
+
+The woman smiled. "Oh, I know that book. It is a very good book. It is about a girl who finds a magic window that takes her to different places. Have you read it?" she asked.
+
+Anna shook her head. "No, I have not. I can not read yet. But I want to," she said.
+
+The woman smiled more. "Well, maybe you can read it someday. Or maybe someone can read it to you. It is a very fun story," she said.
+
+Anna smiled too. She liked fun stories. She liked the woman. She liked the baby. She liked the ball. She liked the book. She liked the window. She liked the sun. She liked the orange.
+
+She was very happy. She had sold a lot of things. She had kept her favorite thing. She had made new friends. She had learned new words.

+She was very happy.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big book with many words. Tom wants to look at the book, but Jen says no. She says it is her book and she can read the words.
+
+Tom is sad and angry. He says he can read the words too. He tries to take the book from Jen, but she holds it tight. They pull and push the book. The book is heavy and hard. It falls on the floor and makes a loud noise.
+

+Ben was a small boy who liked to eat corn. He liked to eat corn with butter and salt. He liked to eat corn on the cob. He liked to eat corn from a can. He liked to eat corn every day.
+
+One day, Ben's mom said, "No more corn, Ben. You have to eat other things too. Corn is good, but too much corn is bad. You need to eat some carrots and peas and beans and rice. They are good for you."
+
+Ben did not like carrots and peas and beans and rice. He did not want to eat them. He wanted to eat corn. He was angry and sad. He said, "No, mom, I only want corn. Corn is the best. I don't like other things. Please give me corn."
+
+Ben's mom said, "Sorry, Ben, but you have to eat what I give you. You can have some corn tomorrow, but today you have to eat something else. It is good for you. Trust me."
+
+Ben did not trust his mom. He did not eat what she gave him. He pushed his plate away and crossed his arms. He said, "No, no, no. I don't want this. I want corn. Give me corn."
+
+Ben's mom said, "Ben, don't be rude. You have to eat your dinner. If you don't eat your dinner, you will be hungry and sick. And you will not get any dessert. Do you want dessert?"
+
+Ben liked dessert. He liked cake and ice cream and cookies and candy. He wanted dessert. But he wanted corn more. He said, "No, mom, I don't want dessert. I want corn. Corn is better than dessert. Give me corn."
+
+Ben's mom said, "Ben, you are being silly. Corn is not better than dessert. Dessert is sweet and yummy and fun. Corn is boring and plain and dull. You are missing out on a treat. Eat your dinner and you can have some dessert."
+
+Ben did not listen to his mom. He did not eat his dinner. He did not have any dessert. He went to bed hungry and mad. He said, "I don't care. I only want corn. Corn is the best. I will eat corn tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. And every day."

+But the next day, Ben did not eat corn. He did not eat corn because there was no corn. There was no corn in the house. There was no corn in the store. There was no corn in the farm. There was no corn anywhere. There was a big problem with the corn. The corn was bad. The corn was sick. The corn was gone.
+
+Ben was shocked. He was sad. He was scared. He said, "Mom, where is the corn? I want corn. I need corn. Please give me corn."
+
+Ben's mom said, "Ben, I'm sorry, but there is no corn. There is a problem with the corn. The corn is not good. The corn is not safe. The corn is not here. You can't have any corn. You have to eat something else."
+
+Ben did not understand. He did not believe. He did not accept. He said, "No, mom, there must be corn. There has to be corn. There is always corn. I love corn. I want corn. Give me corn."
+
+Ben's mom said, "Ben, please stop. You are making a fuss. You are being stubborn. You are being foolish. You have to eat something else. There are many other things to eat. They are good for you. They are tasty. They are healthy. They are here. Try them. You might like them."
+
+Ben did not try them. He did not like them. He did not want them. He wanted corn. He cried and cried and cried. He said, "No, mom, I don't want anything else. I only want corn. Corn is the best. Corn is the only thing I like. Corn is the only thing I need. Give me corn."
+
+Ben's mom said, "Ben, I can't give you corn. There is no corn. You have to understand. You have to accept. You have to change. You have to eat something else. You have to grow up. You have to be brave. You have to be smart. You have to be happy. You have to be healthy. You have to be my son."
+
+Ben did not want to be any of those things. He only wanted to be a corn eater. He only wanted to be a corn lover. He only wanted to be a corn boy. He said, "No, mom, I don't want to be any of those things. I only want to be a corn eater. I only want to be a

+
+Mom and Dad ran to Sam and hugged him. They checked his finger and wrapped it with a bandage. They took him to the zoo nurse, who gave him a lollipop and a sticker.
+

+
+Sam nodded, still sniffling. He looked at his finger and felt sad and angry.

+She got up from the couch, and walked to grandma's room. She knocked on the door, and grandma opened it. She saw Lily's face, and knew she was unhappy. She hugged Lily, and said, "What's wrong, my dear?"
+
+Lily said, "I can't sleep, grandma. I don't like this place. It's not soft, and it's not mine. I want my bed and my teddy bear."
+
+Grandma smiled, and said, "I understand, Lily. It's hard to sleep in a new place. But you don't have to worry. I have something for you." She took Lily's hand, and led her to a closet. She opened it, and took out a quilt and a pillow. They were soft and warm, and had flowers on them. Grandma said, "These are mine, but you can use them tonight. They will make you feel cozy and safe. And look, here is something else." She reached into the closet, and pulled out a stuffed animal. It was a rabbit, with long ears and a fluffy tail. Grandma said, "This is my old bunny. I used to sleep with him when I was a little girl. He is very friendly and cuddly. You can keep him tonight, and he will be your friend."
+
+Lily smiled, and hugged the quilt, the pillow, and the bunny. She felt happy and grateful. She said, "Thank you, grandma. You are very nice. I like these things. They are soft, and they are yours. Can I sleep with you, too?"
+
+Grandma nodded, and said, "Of course, Lily. You can sleep with me, too. Come on, let's go to my bed. We will sleep together, and have good dreams."
+
+Lily followed grandma to her bed, and snuggled with her. She felt the quilt, the pillow, and the bunny around her. She felt warm and loved. She closed her eyes, and fell asleep. She had good dreams.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to make things with leaves and sticks. Tom found some scissors in the shed. He wanted to cut the leaves and make shapes.
+
+"Look, Mia, I have scissors. I can cut the leaves," he said.
+
+"No, Tom, scissors are not for playing. They are sharp and can hurt you. Give them to me," Mia said.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran away with the scissors. He tried to cut a big leaf, but he was not careful. He cut his finger instead. It was bleeding and it hurt a lot.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Mia, help me! I cut my finger!" he cried.
+
+Mia ran to him and saw the blood. She was scared and angry.
+
+"Tom, you are silly and naughty. You did not listen to me. Now you are hurt and bleeding. I cannot help you. You need a grown-up," she said.
+
+She left him alone and went to find their mom. Tom was alone and hurt. He wished he had listened to Mia. He wished he had not played with the scissors. He wished his finger would heal. But it did not. It got worse and worse. He got an infection and a fever. He had to go to the hospital. He was very sick and sad. He learned his lesson, but it was too late. The end.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play and learn together. One day, they go to the zoo with their teacher. They see many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds.
+
+They come to a big pool of water. There are many alligators in the water. They have long tails, big teeth, and green skin. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to study the alligators.
+
+"Look, Anna, that alligator is opening its mouth. Why is it doing that?" Ben asks.
+
+"Maybe it is hungry. Or maybe it is saying hello. Let's ask the teacher," Anna says.
+
+They run to the teacher and ask her about the alligators. The teacher tells them that the alligators are cold-blooded, which means they need the sun to keep warm. She also tells them that the alligators open their mouths to cool down or to show their strength.
+
+Anna and Ben learn a lot from the teacher. They thank her and go back to the pool. They see a small alligator swimming near them. It looks friendly. Anna and Ben wave at it.
+
+"Hello, little alligator. You are cute. Do you want to be our friend?" Anna says.
+
+The small alligator nods its head. It swims closer to the edge of the pool. Anna and Ben smile. They are happy to have a new friend.
+
+But not everyone is happy. A big alligator sees the small alligator with the children. It is jealous. It does not like to share. It growls and swims towards the small alligator. It wants to scare it away.
+
+"Watch out, little alligator. There is a big alligator coming. It looks angry. You should go back to the water," Ben says.
+
+The small alligator hears Ben. It is scared. It turns around and sees the big alligator. It swims away quickly. It does not want to fight.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They say goodbye to the small alligator. They hope it will be safe. They also hope to see it again. They like to study the alligators. They think they are interesting and fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big round thing in the grass. It is brown and shiny.
+
+"What is it?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a ball," Ben says.
+
+They pick up the round thing and roll it on the ground. It makes a funny sound. They laugh.
+
+"Let's play catch," Ben says.
+
+He throws the round thing to Lily. She catches it and throws it back. They have fun.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. It sees the round thing and runs to get it. It barks and jumps.
+
+"Hey, that's ours!" Lily shouts.
+
+She and Ben chase the dog. The dog is faster. It grabs the round thing in its mouth and runs away.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They want their round thing back.
+
+They follow the dog. The dog goes to a trash can. It drops the round thing and sniffs the trash. It finds a bone and starts to chew it.
+
+Lily and Ben see the round thing. It is dirty and sticky. It has bite marks and trash on it.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily says.
+
+She does not want to touch it.
+
+"Me neither," Ben says.
+
+They look at the round thing. It is not a ball. It is a coconut.
+
+They do not like coconuts. They taste bad.
+
+They leave the round thing and the dog. They go back to the park. They find a real ball. It is red and bouncy.
+
+They play catch again. They are happy.
+Tom and Anna liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But they also liked to be nosy. They wanted to know what other people were doing and saying. Sometimes they would sneak up behind them and listen to their secrets.
+
+One day, they saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a big bag with him. Tom and Anna were curious. They wanted to see what was in the bag. They tiptoed behind the man and peeked inside. They saw a lot of old toys. There were dolls, cars, trains and puzzles. They looked very old and broken.
+
+Tom and Anna thought the man was going to throw them away. They felt sorry for the toys. They decided to take some of them and play with them. They grabbed a doll and a car and ran away. They did not see the man's face. He looked very sad and angry.
+
+The man was not going to throw away the toys. He was going to restore them. He liked to fix old and broken things and make them new and beautiful again. He had a special workshop where he worked on the toys. He gave them new clothes, new paint, new parts and new smiles. He did this because he loved the toys and he wanted to make other children happy.
+
+The man saw Tom and Anna running away with his toys. He shouted at them to stop. He chased them across the park. Tom and Anna were scared. They dropped the toys and ran faster. They did not say sorry. They did not know they had done something wrong.
+
+The man picked up his toys and went back to his bench. He was very upset. He had worked hard on the toys and he had lost two of them. He felt like giving up. He did not want to restore any more toys. He did not want to make any more children happy.
+
+But then he heard a voice. It was a little girl. She had seen what had happened. She came up to the man and said, "I'm sorry for what they did. They were very nosy and rude. They did not know you were going to restore the toys. They did not know you were going to make them new and beautiful again. They did not know you were going to make other children happy. I think what you do is very nice and kind. Can I see your toys?"
+
+The man looked at the girl. She had a sweet smile and a gentle voice. She was not nosy or rude. She was polite and interested. She wanted to see his toys. She wanted to see his work. She wanted to see his love.
+
+The man smiled back at the girl. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He felt like restoring his toys again. He felt like making other children happy again. He opened his bag and showed the girl his toys. She gasped with delight. She admired his toys. She thanked him for his work. She asked him if he could teach her how to restore toys.
+
+The man nodded. He was happy to share his skill and passion with the girl. He took her to his workshop and showed her his tools and materials. He taught her how to fix old and broken things and make them new and beautiful again. He taught her how to restore toys.
+
+Tom and Anna watched from a distance. They felt ashamed of what they had done. They realized they had hurt the man and his toys. They realized they had missed a chance to learn something new and wonderful. They realized they had been nosy and rude. They wished they had been polite and interested. They wished they had said sorry.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that being nosy and rude can cause trouble and pain. They learned that being polite and interested can bring joy and friendship. They learned that restoring toys is a way of showing love and kindness. They learned that silence is sometimes better than words.
+Sara likes to play with her blocks. She has many blocks of different colors and shapes. She likes to build towers and bridges and houses with her blocks. She likes to measure how tall and long her blocks are with her ruler.
+
+One day, Sara wants to make the tallest tower ever. She puts many blocks on top of each other, one by one. She measures her tower with her ruler. It is taller than her chair, taller than her table, taller than her bed. She is very happy and proud.
+
+But then, her cat jumps on the table. The cat sees the tower and wants to play with it. The cat paws at the blocks and knocks some of them down. The tower wobbles and shakes. Sara sees the cat and shouts, "No, cat, no! Stop it!"
+
+But it is too late. The tower is too thin and too tall. It cannot stand anymore. It falls down with a loud crash. The blocks scatter everywhere. Sara is sad and angry. She cries and runs to her mom.
+
+Her mom hugs her and comforts her. She tells her that it is okay, that she can build another tower later. She tells her that the cat did not mean to ruin her tower, that the cat was just curious and playful. She tells her that she is very clever and creative for making such a tall tower.
+
+Sara feels a little better. She wipes her tears and smiles. She says sorry to the cat and pets it. She says thank you to her mom and hugs her. She decides to build a shorter and wider tower next time. She still likes to play with her blocks.
+Sam is a boy who likes to play with cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He can name all of them. He has a red car, a blue car, a yellow car, and a green car. He also has a big truck that can carry other cars.
+
+One day, Sam decides to play with his big truck and his cars. He puts his cars inside the truck and buckles them up. He wants them to be safe. He drives the truck around the room, making loud noises. He pretends he is going to a faraway place.
+
+But then, he sees his mom coming. She looks angry. She says, "Sam, what are you doing? Look at this mess! You have to clean up your toys now!" Sam feels sad. He likes his toys. He does not want to put them away. He says, "But mom, I am playing with my truck and my cars. They are going to a faraway place. They are buckled up. They are not messy."
+
+His mom shakes her head. She says, "Sam, I know you like your toys, but you have to tidy up your room. You can play with them later. But first, you have to unbuckle them and put them back in the box. Then, you have to help me with the dishes. Do you understand?" Sam nods. He knows his mom is right. He says, "Okay, mom. I will clean up my toys. But can I name them first?" His mom smiles. She says, "Yes, you can name them first. But hurry up, okay?" Sam smiles too. He says, "Okay, mom. Thank you." He starts to name his cars and his truck. He loves his toys. He hopes they will go to a faraway place someday.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. One day, Sara saw a big red car on the shelf. She wanted to play with it. She took it and ran to the bed.
+
+"Hey, that's my car!" Ben shouted. He ran after Sara and tried to grab the car. Sara held it tight and said, "No, it's mine!"
+
+They pulled and pushed the car. They did not see that the car had a button. The button made the car go very fast and loud. The car zoomed out of their hands and hit the wall. The car broke into pieces.
+
+Sara and Ben were upset. They looked at the broken car. They felt sorry. They did not mean to break the car. They knew their dad would be angry. He had given them the car as a gift. He had told them to take good care of it.
+
+They heard their dad's footsteps. He was coming to their room. He had heard the noise. They were scared. They did not know what to say. They wished they had not fought over the car. They wished they had shared it. They knew they had to pay for what they did. They hugged each other and waited for their dad.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. They observe many things in the park. They see birds, flowers, dogs, and people. They have fun in the park.
+
+One day, they observe a big red ball in the park. It is on the grass, near a bench. They run to the ball. They want to play with the ball. They think the ball is left by someone. They do not see anyone near the ball.
+
+They take the ball and start to kick it. They kick it high and far. They laugh and shout. They do not observe the man on the bench. The man is angry. The ball is his. He is not healthy. He has a bad leg. He needs the ball to exercise his leg.
+
+The man gets up from the bench. He limps to the boys. He yells at them. He wants his ball back. He says the ball is not left. He says the ball is his. He says the boys are bad.
+
+The boys are scared. They did not know the ball is his. They did not mean to be bad. They say they are sorry. They give the ball back to the man. They run away from the park. They do not have fun in the park. They learn to observe better.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and liked to run and jump with them.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben decided to make a cake in the sandbox. They used a bucket, a shovel and some water to mix the sand. They added some leaves, flowers and rocks to decorate it. They were very proud of their cake and wanted to show it to their mom.
+
+But when they went inside to get their mom, Spot saw the cake and thought it was a toy. He ran to the sandbox and started to dig and bite the cake. He made a big mess and spoiled the cake. He also hurt his foot on a sharp rock and started to whimper.
+
+Lily and Ben heard Spot's whimper and ran back outside. They saw the ruined cake and the bleeding foot and felt very sad and angry. They scolded Spot and told him to go away. Spot felt very sorry and ashamed and hid under a tree.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came outside. She saw what happened and hugged Lily and Ben. She told them that Spot didn't know that the cake was not a toy and that he was just curious and playful. She also told them that they could make another cake another day and that they should forgive Spot and be kind to him. She took Spot inside and cleaned his foot and gave him a warm blanket and a treat. She also gave Lily and Ben some cookies and milk and read them a story. Lily and Ben felt better and said sorry to Spot. They all cuddled on the couch and enjoyed the warm and cozy afternoon.
+Sam likes to play with his copper coins. He has many of them in a big jar. He likes to dump them out and make piles. He likes to count them and hear them clink.
+
+One day, Sam wants to make a tower with his coins. He puts one coin on the floor, then another on top, then another. He stands up to see how high his tower is. He smiles and adds more coins.
+
+But then, his cat Max sees the tower. Max likes to play with shiny things. He runs to the tower and jumps on it. The coins fall down and roll everywhere. Sam is sad and angry. He yells at Max and chases him.
+
+Max runs to the kitchen and hides under the table. He sees a bowl of red sauce on the counter. He thinks it is yummy. He jumps on the counter and licks the sauce. But the sauce is spicy. It burns his tongue and makes him sneeze.
+
+Sam hears Max sneeze and follows him. He sees him on the counter with the sauce. He laughs and says, "Silly Max, that sauce is not for you. It is for mom's pasta. It is spicy and hot. You should not eat it."
+
+He picks up Max and hugs him. He says, "I am sorry I yelled at you. You are my friend. But please do not play with my coins. They are mine. And do not eat spicy things. They are bad for you."
+
+He puts Max down and cleans the sauce. He goes back to his coins and makes a new tower. He hopes Max will not jump on it again. He thinks, "Maybe I can share some coins with Max. He can have the ones that are not shiny. Then we can both be happy."
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for treasures. Sometimes they found shiny stones, or pretty shells, or old coins.
+
+"Look, Anna, I found a jewel!" Ben shouted, holding up a red glass bead. "It is so bright and pretty!"
+
+Anna ran over to see. She was happy for Ben, but she also wanted to find a jewel too. She dug harder and faster, hoping to find something shiny.
+
+"Ouch!" Anna cried, dropping her shovel. She had cut her finger on a sharp rock. It hurt and it bled.
+
+Ben saw Anna's finger and felt sorry for her. He ran to the house and got a band-aid and a wet cloth. He came back to Anna and gently wiped her finger with the cloth. Then he put the band-aid on it.
+
+"Does it feel better?" Ben asked.
+
+"A little bit," Anna said, smiling. "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind."
+
+Ben smiled too. He wanted to make Anna happy. He thought for a moment, then he said, "Do you want to have my jewel? You can keep it. It is yours."
+
+Anna's eyes widened. She couldn't believe it. Ben was giving her his jewel. She felt very happy and hugged Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are the best friend ever. I love your jewel. It is very mild and smooth."
+
+They both laughed and played with the jewel. They forgot about the dirt and the pain. They were happy. They had each other. They had a jewel.
+Ben was restless. He did not want to nap. He wanted to play with his toys and run around the house. But Mom said he had to nap, or he would be grumpy later. She put him in his bed and kissed him goodnight.
+
+Ben waited for Mom to leave. Then he got out of his bed and tiptoed to the door. He opened it a little and peeked outside. He saw Mom in the kitchen. She was making soup on the stove. She put carrots and potatoes and chicken in the pot. Ben liked soup. He wanted to help Mom.
+
+Ben crept down the hall and into the kitchen. He saw a stool by the counter. He climbed on it and reached for the pot. He wanted to see what was inside. He wanted to include something else in the soup. Maybe a toy or a cookie.
+
+But the pot was hot. Very hot. Ben touched it and burned his hand. He cried out loud. Mom heard him and turned around. She saw Ben on the stool and the pot on the stove. She ran to him and took him off the stool. She hugged him and checked his hand. She said, "Ben, what are you doing? You could have hurt yourself. The stove is not for playing. It is for cooking. You have to stay away from it."
+
+Ben felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to help you. I wanted to make the soup better." Mom said, "I know, Ben. But you don't need to help me with the stove. You can help me with other things. Like setting the table or washing the dishes. Or you can play with your toys or read a book. But you have to nap first. You are restless because you are tired. Come on, let's go back to your bed."
+
+Mom took Ben back to his bed. She put some ice on his hand and gave him a band-aid. She said, "You'll be fine, Ben. Just rest for a while. Then we can have some soup together. OK?" Ben nodded. He said, "OK, Mom. I love you." Mom said, "I love you too, Ben. Sweet dreams." She kissed him goodnight and left the room. Ben closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed of soup and toys and cookies.
+Jill liked to cook with her mom. She helped her mom cut the apples, stir the pot, and roll the dough. She was a gifted cook, her mom said. She could make yummy pies, cakes, and cookies.
+
+One day, Jill wanted to surprise her mom with a leather apron. She saw one in a store and thought it was pretty. She saved her money and bought it. She hid it under her bed until mom's birthday.
+
+On mom's birthday, Jill woke up early and went to the kitchen. She wanted to cook a special breakfast for her mom. She put on the leather apron and started to crack the eggs. She turned on the stove and put a pan on it. She did not know how to use the stove. She made it too hot.
+
+Soon, the pan started to smoke. Jill smelled something bad. She looked at the apron. It was burning. She screamed and ran away. She dropped the eggs on the floor.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the fire, the smoke, the eggs, and the apron. She was angry and scared. She grabbed a towel and put out the fire. She yelled at Jill.
+
+"Jill, what have you done? You could have burned the house down! You could have hurt yourself! How could you be so foolish? And where did you get this leather apron? It is not for cooking! It is for working with tools! You wasted your money and ruined it!"
+
+Jill started to cry. She wanted to make her mom happy, not angry. She wanted to give her a nice gift, not a bad one. She said sorry to her mom, but mom did not hug her. She told her to go to her room and stay there. She said she was very disappointed in her.
+
+Jill went to her room and sobbed. She felt sad and ashamed. She wished she never bought the leather apron. She wished she never tried to cook. She wished her mom loved her. She did not feel gifted anymore. She felt stupid.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but they also liked to pretend that the furniture was alive. They would speak to the chairs, the table, the bed and the closet, and make up stories about them.
+
+One day, they decided to have a tea party with the furniture. They brought some cookies and juice from the kitchen, and set them on the table. They invited the chairs, the bed and the closet to join them, and gave them each a plate and a cup.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Chair, how are you today?" Tom asked.
+
+"I'm fine, thank you, Tom. How are you?" Mr. Chair answered.
+
+"I'm good, thank you. Would you like a cookie? They are very tasty." Tom offered.
+
+"Yes, please, Tom. Thank you very much." Mr. Chair accepted.
+
+"Hello, Mrs. Bed, how are you today?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm well, thank you, Lily. How are you?" Mrs. Bed answered.
+
+"I'm happy, thank you. Would you like some juice? It is very sweet." Lily offered.
+
+"Yes, please, Lily. Thank you very much." Mrs. Bed accepted.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Closet, how are you today?" Tom and Lily asked together.
+
+But Mr. Closet did not answer. He was silent and still.
+
+"Mr. Closet, are you there? Are you okay?" Tom and Lily asked again.
+
+But Mr. Closet did not answer. He was silent and still.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad and confused. Why did Mr. Closet not speak to them? Did he not like them? Did he not want to be their friend?
+
+They decided to open the closet and see what was wrong. They pulled the door and looked inside.
+
+They saw a big mess of clothes, shoes, toys and books. They also saw a sign that said: "Do not disturb. I'm busy."
+
+Tom and Lily realized that Mr. Closet was not alive. He was just a closet. He could not speak or eat or drink or play. He was only a place to store things.
+
+They felt silly and embarrassed. They had been talking to a closet all this time. They had been wasting their cookies and juice on a closet.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that furniture is not alive. They learned that they should not pretend that things are what they are not. They learned that they should be grateful for their real friends, like their toys and books and each other.
+
+They apologized to the furniture for bothering them. They cleaned up the mess in the closet. They ate the rest of the cookies and juice. They hugged each other and said: "We love you, Tom. We love you, Lily. You are our best friends."
+Sam and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They found a worm, a beetle and a spider. They put them in a jar and gave them some leaves.
+
+"Look, Mia, I found something interesting!" Sam said. He pointed to a long, shiny thing under a rock. It had black and yellow stripes and a forked tongue.
+
+"What is it?" Mia asked. She came closer to see.
+
+"It is a snake!" Sam said. He wanted to touch it.
+
+"No, Sam, don't touch it!" Mia said. She remembered what Mama had told them. "Snakes can bite and hurt you. Some snakes are bad."
+
+"But this snake is pretty. Maybe it is nice," Sam said. He reached out his hand.
+
+Suddenly, the snake moved. It hissed and raised its head. It looked angry and scared.
+
+"Sam, watch out!" Mia shouted. She grabbed Sam's arm and pulled him back. She protect him from the snake.
+
+The snake slithered away and hid under another rock. Sam and Mia ran back to the house. They told Mama what they had seen.
+
+"Good job, Mia, you protected your brother from the snake," Mama said. She hugged them both. "Snakes are interesting, but they are also dangerous. You should never touch them or bother them. They might think you are a threat and attack you."
+
+"I'm sorry, Mama, I didn't know," Sam said. He felt bad for making the snake angry.
+
+"It's okay, Sam, you learned something new today," Mama said. She smiled. "But next time, listen to your sister. She is smart and brave."
+
+Sam nodded. He looked at Mia and said, "Thank you, Mia, for protecting me. You are the best sister ever."
+
+Mia smiled back and said, "You're welcome, Sam. You are the best brother ever."
+Anna and Ben are in the classroom. They have paper and crayons. They want to make something fun.
+
+"Let's fold the paper and make a boat!" Anna says.
+
+"OK!" Ben says. They fold the paper in half, then in half again. They make a triangle at the top. They open the bottom. They have a boat!
+
+"Look at our boat!" Anna says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+They put the boat on the floor. They pretend to sail it on the water. They make waves with their hands. They make sounds with their mouths.
+
+"Vroom, vroom!" Ben says.
+
+"Splash, splash!" Anna says.
+
+They have fun with their boat.
+
+But then, they see something else. It is an enormous box. It is in the corner of the classroom. It has a big label on it. It says "Do not open".
+
+"What is that?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know," Anna says. "Let's go and see!"
+
+They leave their boat on the floor. They walk to the box. They are curious. They want to know what is inside.
+
+They reach the box. They look at each other. They smile.
+
+"Let's open it!" Anna says.
+
+"OK!" Ben says.
+
+They pull the tape. They lift the flap. They peek inside.
+
+They see...
+Sara and Ben are playing with clay in the garden. They are making animals and shapes with their hands. Sara likes to be bossy and tell Ben what to do.
+
+"Ben, make a snake like this," Sara says, rolling a long piece of clay. "And put it here, next to my lion."
+
+Ben does not want to make a snake. He wants to make a star. He ignores Sara and makes a star with his clay. He puts it on the other side of the lion.
+
+"Sara, look at my star," Ben says, proud of his work. "It is shiny and pretty."
+
+Sara does not look at Ben's star. She is angry that he ignored her. She grabs his star and squishes it with her hand.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice!" Ben shouts, feeling sad. "You ruined my star!"
+
+Sara does not care. She says, "You should have listened to me. I am the boss of the clay. You have to do what I say."
+
+Ben does not like Sara's attitude. He thinks she is rude and mean. He decides to ignore her too. He takes his clay and moves to another spot in the garden. He makes a new star and a moon and a sun. He is happy with his clay.
+
+Sara is left alone with her snake and her lion. She looks at Ben's clay and feels jealous. She wants to play with him, but she does not know how to say sorry. She wishes she was not so bossy. She wonders if Ben will ever talk to her again.
+Tom is a taxi driver. He works hard every day. He drives his taxi to many places and helps people go where they want. He likes his job, but sometimes he feels tired.
