Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" Ben says, holding out his hand too. + +They play rock, paper, scissors, and have fun. They forget about the fake medicine and the cake. They are happy friends again. +Tom and Lily were very excited. They were going to see fireworks in the park. They put on their coats and hats and followed Mom and Dad to the car. + +"Are we there yet?" Tom asked. + +"Soon, honey. The fireworks will start when it is dark," Mom said. + +They drove for a long time and then parked near the park. They walked to a big field where many people were waiting. They found a spot on the grass and spread a blanket. + +"Look, there's a plane!" Lily pointed to the sky. + +Tom looked up and saw a small plane flying over the park. It was making a loud noise and leaving a trail of smoke behind it. + +"That's a crazy plane!" Tom said. "What is it doing?" + +Suddenly, the plane dropped something from its wings. It was a firework! It exploded in the air with a bang and a flash of colors. + +"Wow!" Tom and Lily shouted. + +The people in the park clapped and cheered. The plane flew away and more fireworks started to light up the sky. They were red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. They made shapes like stars, hearts, and flowers. + +Tom and Lily watched the fireworks with wide eyes. They hugged Mom and Dad and smiled. + +"This is the best night ever!" Lily said. + +"I love fireworks!" Tom said. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the forest. They knew the forest very well and always stayed on the same path. One day, they saw a big sign that said "Do not enter". They were curious and wanted to see what was behind the sign. + +"Let's go and look," said Ben. "Maybe there is something fun or pretty." + +"No, we should not," said Anna. "The sign says no. Maybe there is something bad or scary." + +Ben did not listen to Anna. He was brave and wanted to have an adventure. He moved the sign and walked into the bushes. Anna followed him, but she was afraid. + +They walked for a long time and saw many strange things. They saw a big snake, a shiny rock, and a loud bird. They also saw a fork in the path. One way went left and one way went right. + +"Which way should we go?" asked Ben. + +"I don't know," said Anna. "Maybe we should go back. We are lost." + +Ben did not want to go back. He wanted to see more. He said, "Let's separate. You go left and I go right. We can meet here later." + +Anna did not like this idea. She wanted to stay with Ben. She said, "No, let's stay together. We are safer that way." + +Ben did not listen to Anna. He was stubborn and wanted to have his way. He said, "Don't be silly. We can do this. We are clever. See you soon." He ran to the right and disappeared. + +Anna was sad and scared. She did not want to separate from Ben. She did not want to go left or right. She wanted to go back. She waited for Ben, but he did not come back. She started to cry. + +She did not know that Ben had made a big mistake. He had chosen the wrong path. He had walked into a trap. He had met a bad man who wanted to take him away. He had wished he had listened to Anna. He had wished he had stayed with her. He had wished he had not separated from her. +Lily and Sam were very happy. They were going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They liked to see the animals and hear their sounds. They packed some snacks and drinks in a big bag. + +At the zoo, they saw many animals. They saw lions, monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and more. Lily and Sam enjoyed watching them and learning their names. They also fed some goats and sheep at the farm. They were very soft and friendly. + +"Look, Mom, a panda!" Sam said, pointing to a black and white bear. "He is eating bamboo. Can I eat bamboo too?" + +"No, Sam, bamboo is not for you. It is for pandas. You can eat your sandwich and apple," Mom said, smiling. + +Lily and Sam ate their lunch on a bench. They were hungry and thirsty after walking around the zoo. They felt comfortable and warm in their coats and hats. They thanked Mom and Dad for the food. + +After lunch, they went to see the penguins. They were very funny and cute. They slid on the ice and splashed in the water. Lily and Sam laughed and clapped. They wanted to play with the penguins, but they knew they had to stay behind the fence. + +They had a lot of fun at the zoo. They saw many animals and learned many things. They enjoyed their day with Mom and Dad. They were tired and happy when they went back to the car. They fell asleep on the way home, dreaming of the zoo. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with books and toys. One day, Lily finds a new book with many words. She wants to show Ben the book. + +"Look, Ben, I have a new book!" Lily says. "It has many words and pictures. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben says. He likes books too. He sits next to Lily and looks at the book. + +Lily points to a word. "This word says cat," she says. "Can you say cat?" + +"Cat," Ben says. He sees a picture of a cat. The cat is black and white and has a red ball. + +"Good!" Lily says. She is happy that Ben can say the word. She turns the page and points to another word. "This word says dog," she says. "Can you say dog?" + +"Dog," Ben says. He sees a picture of a dog. The dog is brown and has a bone. + +"Good!" Lily says. She is proud of Ben. She turns the page and points to another word. "This word says fox," she says. "Can you say fox?" + +Ben looks at the word. He does not know the word. He sees a picture of a fox. The fox is orange and has a bushy tail. + +"Fox," Ben tries to say. He is not sure if he says it right. + +Lily smiles. She is thoughtful. She knows that fox is a hard word. She does not want Ben to feel bad. + +"You are very smart, Ben," she says. "You can say many words. Fox is a hard word. I will help you say it. Repeat after me. Fox." + +"Fox," Ben says. He listens to Lily. He tries to say it better. + +"Good!" Lily says. She hugs Ben. "You are a good friend. I like to show you my book. Do you like to see my book?" + +"Yes, I do!" Ben says. He hugs Lily back. "You are a good friend too. I like to learn new words with you." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with shiny things. One day, they found a big copper coin in the garden. It was round and brown and had a picture of a man on it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "It is so pretty and heavy. I want to keep it." + +"No, I want it!" Lily said. "It is mine. I saw it first." + +They started to pull the coin from each other and complain. They made a lot of noise and cried. + +Their grandma heard them and came to see what was wrong. She was old and wise and knew a lot of things. + +"What is going on here?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over a coin?" + +"It is not a coin, it is a copper!" Tom said. + +"It is a coin, and it is mine!" Lily said. + +Grandma smiled and shook her head. She took the coin from them and held it up. + +"This is a coin, and it is made of copper," she said. "But it is not very valuable. It is only worth one penny. Do you know what a penny is?" + +Tom and Lily shook their heads. They did not know what a penny was. + +"A penny is a very small amount of money," Grandma said. "You can use it to buy things, but not many things. You need a lot of pennies to buy something nice, like a toy or a book or a candy." + +"Really?" Tom and Lily asked. They looked at the coin with less interest. + +"Yes, really," Grandma said. "And you know what? Fighting over a penny is not worth it. You have many other things to play with and share. And you have each other. You are twins, and you should love and help each other, not complain and fight." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for their behavior. They hugged each other and said sorry. + +"Can we still play with the coin, Grandma?" Tom asked. + +"Of course you can," Grandma said. "But remember, it is just a coin, and it is not as precious as your friendship." + +Tom and Lily nodded and thanked Grandma. They took the coin and went to play with it. They pretended it was a treasure or a medal or a button. They had fun and did not fight anymore. They learned a lesson from Grandma and the copper coin. +Lily and Ben liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. But they had to be careful, because some things in the kitchen were hot and sharp and could hurt them. + +One day, they found a big pot on the stove. It was shiny and round and had a lid. Lily wanted to see what was inside. She reached for the handle, but Ben stopped her. + +"No, Lily, don't touch the pot!" he warned. "It might be hot and burn you. We have to wait for Mommy to come and check." + +Lily was sad. She really wanted to see the pot. She thought maybe there was soup or stew or something else delicious inside. She looked at Ben and pouted. + +"Please, Ben, just a little peek?" she begged. "I'll be very careful. I'll use this flexible spoon to lift the lid. See, it bends and doesn't break." + +Ben looked at the spoon. It was made of plastic and had a funny shape. He thought maybe it was safe to use. He wanted to see the pot too. He nodded and said, "Okay, Lily, but only a little peek. And be very quick." + +Lily smiled and thanked Ben. She took the flexible spoon and slid it under the lid. She lifted it a little bit and peeked inside. But she was not careful enough. She lifted it too much and the lid fell off. Steam came out of the pot and made a loud hissing sound. Lily and Ben gasped and jumped back. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" they cried. "The pot is hot! The pot is hot!" + +Mommy heard the noise and ran into the kitchen. She saw the pot and the lid and the spoon and the steam and the children. She was angry and worried. + +"What are you doing, Lily and Ben?" she scolded. "I told you not to touch the pot. It has boiling water inside. You could have burned yourselves or spilled it on the floor. You have to listen to me and be safe in the kitchen." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and scared. They hugged Mommy and said, "We're sorry, Mommy. We won't touch the pot again. We just wanted to see what was inside." + +Mommy hugged them back and said, "I know, sweeties. But you have to be patient and wait for me to tell you when it's okay. The pot is not for playing. It's for cooking pasta. And I have a surprise for you. I have some cheese and sauce and meatballs to go with it. Do you want to help me make some yummy food?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy. We want to help you. We love pasta and cheese and sauce and meatballs. And we love you." + +Mommy smiled and said, "I love you too. Now, let's wash our hands and get ready to cook. And remember, no touching the pot." +Lily likes to go to the gym with her mom. The gym has many things to play with. Lily can jump on the mats, swing on the bars, and roll on the balls. She has fun with her mom and the other kids. + +One day, a new kid comes to the gym. His name is Max. He is different from Lily. He has curly hair and glasses. He does not talk much. He likes to act like an animal. He crawls like a cat, roars like a lion, and hops like a frog. + +Lily is curious about Max. She wants to play with him. She goes to him and says hello. Max looks at her and smiles. He says he is a monkey. He makes a funny noise and climbs on the bars. Lily laughs. She says she is a bird. She flaps her arms and flies on the mats. + +Lily and Max act like animals together. They have fun at the gym. They become friends. Lily's mom and Max's mom are happy. They say Lily and Max are good at acting. They say acting is fun and good for learning. Lily and Max agree. They like to act and play at the gym. +Sam and Mia liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big rhinoceros. The rhinoceros was gray and had a horn on his nose. He was very strong and brave. + +One day, Sam and Mia decided to make a house for the rhinoceros. They used some boxes, some blankets, and some crayons. They were very creative. They made a door, a window, and a roof. They also drew some flowers, some trees, and some birds on the walls. + +They put the rhinoceros inside the house and said, "This is your new home, Mr. Rhino. We hope you like it. You can stay here and be happy." + +The rhinoceros looked around and smiled. He liked his new home very much. He said, "Thank you, Sam and Mia. You are very kind and clever. I love my new home. I will stay here and be happy." + +Sam and Mia hugged the rhinoceros and said, "You are welcome, Mr. Rhino. You are our best friend. We love you too." + +They played together for a long time, until it was time for dinner. They said goodbye to the rhinoceros and promised to come back soon. The rhinoceros waved his horn and said, "Goodbye, Sam and Mia. See you soon. Have a good dinner." + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big fence near their house. The fence is brown and tall. It has many holes. + +"What is behind the fence?" Lily asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe a park. Maybe a farm. Maybe a dragon," Ben says. + +"Let's go and see," Lily says. She takes Ben's hand and they walk to the fence. They walk fast. They are curious and excited. + +They reach the fence and look through the holes. They see green grass, yellow flowers, and some animals. They see cows, sheep, and chickens. They also see a dog. The dog is black and white. It has a long tail and floppy ears. + +"Hello, dog," Lily says. She waves at the dog. + +The dog sees Lily and Ben. It barks and runs to the fence. It wags its tail and licks their faces. + +"Hello, dog," Ben says. He laughs and pets the dog. + +The dog is friendly and happy. It likes Lily and Ben. They make a new friend. They play with the dog and the fence. They have fun. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be singers. They use a brush and a spoon as microphones. They sing songs they know from TV. + +"Let's perform for Mommy and Daddy!" Anna says. "They will be so happy to see us!" + +"OK, but first we need a snack," Ben says. "I'm hungry." + +They go to the kitchen. They see a bowl of fruit on the table. They see apples, bananas, and peaches. + +"I want a peach," Anna says. She picks one and bites it. "Yum, it's sweet and juicy!" + +"I want a peach, too," Ben says. He picks one and bites it. "Yuck, it's sour and mushy!" + +He spits it out. He looks at the peach. It has brown spots and worms. + +"Ew, it's spoiled!" he says. He throws the peach in the trash. + +"Sorry, Ben," Anna says. "You can have mine. I'll get another one." + +"No, thank you," Ben says. "I don't want a peach anymore. I want an apple." + +He picks an apple and washes it. He bites it. "Mmm, it's crunchy and tasty!" + +Anna picks another peach. She washes it. She bites it. "Mmm, it's sweet and juicy, too!" + +They finish their snacks. They wipe their mouths. They go to the living room. + +"Mommy, Daddy, we have a show for you!" they say. "We are singers!" + +They hold their microphones. They sing their songs. They dance and smile. + +Mommy and Daddy clap and cheer. They are so proud of their twins. + +"That was a wonderful performance!" Mommy says. "You are very talented!" + +"Thank you, Mommy!" Anna and Ben say. + +They hug Mommy and Daddy. They are very happy. They love to play pretend. +Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for their mom. They found some flour, some eggs, some milk and some sugar. They put them in a big bowl. + +"Let's mix them!" said Anna. She took a big spoon and started to stir the bowl. Ben helped her. They mixed and mixed until the batter was smooth and yellow. + +"Where is the cake pan?" asked Ben. He looked around the kitchen. He saw a chair near the counter. He climbed on the chair and reached for a cupboard. He opened the cupboard and saw something shiny. + +"What is that?" he wondered. He took out the shiny thing. It was a round metal box with a lid. It had some strange letters and pictures on it. It looked mysterious. + +"Ben, what are you doing?" asked Anna. She saw Ben holding the metal box. She climbed down from the chair and went to him. + +"I found this in the cupboard. Do you know what it is?" asked Ben. He showed Anna the metal box. + +Anna shook her head. She did not know what it was. She was curious. She wanted to open the lid and see what was inside. + +"Maybe it is a magic box. Maybe it has a surprise for us," she said. + +"Or maybe it is a trap. Maybe it has something scary or bad inside," said Ben. + +They looked at each other. They did not know what to do. Should they open the metal box or leave it alone? +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks in the yard. They liked to build different structures with the blocks, like houses, towers, and bridges. They had many colors of blocks, like red, blue, yellow, and green. + +One day, a big gray dog came to the yard. He saw the blocks and thought they were toys. He ran to the structures and knocked them down with his paws and his nose. He made a big mess and a loud noise. + +Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They shouted at the dog, "Go away! You are bad! You broke our structures!" The dog did not understand. He thought they were playing with him. He wagged his tail and barked. + +A lady came to the yard. She was the dog's owner. She saw what the dog had done and said, "I'm sorry, children. He didn't mean to ruin your structures. He is a friendly dog, but he doesn't know how to play with blocks. He likes to play with balls and sticks. Do you want to play with him?" + +Tom and Lily looked at the lady and the dog. They were still upset, but they also felt sorry for the dog. He looked happy and sorry at the same time. They decided to give him a chance. They said, "OK, we will play with him. But he has to be gentle and careful. And he has to help us clean up the mess." + +The lady smiled and said, "Thank you, children. You are very kind and forgiving. That is a good way to make friends." She gave them a ball and a stick and showed them how to play with the dog. The dog was very excited and grateful. He learned to fetch and roll over and sit. He also helped them pick up the blocks and put them back in the box. + +Tom and Lily had fun with the dog. They learned that he was not bad, just different. They also learned that sometimes people and animals make mistakes, but they can say sorry and try to fix them. They became friends with the dog and the lady. They named the dog Gray, because of his fur. They invited them to come back and play again. They all lived happily ever after. + +The end. +Ben liked to wear his red cape. He felt like a hero when he wore it. He wore it to play, to eat, and to sleep. He wore it every day. + +One day, his mom said, "Ben, you need to wash your cape. It is dirty and smelly. You can wear it again tomorrow." Ben did not want to wash his cape. He loved his cape. He hid his cape under his bed and said, "OK, mom." + +That night, it was very dark and stormy. Ben heard loud noises outside his window. He felt scared. He wanted his cape. He thought his cape would make him brave. He got out of his bed and looked under it. He saw his cape. He reached for it. + +But he was not the only one who saw his cape. A big, black rat saw it too. The rat liked shiny things. The rat wanted the cape. The rat ran towards the cape. Ben and the rat saw each other. They both screamed. + +Ben's mom heard the screams. She ran to Ben's room. She turned on the light. She saw Ben, the rat, and the cape. She was shocked. She grabbed Ben and the cape. She chased the rat away. She hugged Ben and said, "Are you OK, Ben? What happened?" + +Ben cried and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I lied. I did not wash my cape. I hid it under my bed. I wanted to wear it. But the rat wanted it too. It scared me. I was not a hero. I was a coward." + +Mom said, "It's OK, Ben. I'm not mad. I'm glad you are safe. But you need to tell the truth. And you need to wash your cape. It is not good to wear dirty things. They can make you sick. And they can attract rats. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will wash my cape. And I will not lie again. I love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Ben. Now, let's go to the kitchen. I have some cookies for you. And tomorrow, you can wear your cape again. But only after it is clean and dry." + +Ben smiled and said, "OK, mom. Thank you. You are my hero." +Tom and Anna like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the train set. They can make the train go fast or slow, and they can attach more cars to the train. They like to attach different things to the cars, like blocks, dolls, and books. + +One day, Tom and Anna decide to attach something new to the train. They see their dad's exercise bike in the corner. They think it looks fun, and they want to make the train go faster. They push the bike to the train, and they try to attach it to a car. But the bike is too big and heavy, and it does not fit. They push harder, but the bike falls over and makes a loud noise. + +Their dad hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. He sees the bike and the train, and he is not happy. He tells Tom and Anna that the bike is not a toy, and that they could get hurt. He also tells them that the bike is for exercise, and that he needs it to stay healthy. He shows them how to use the bike, and he asks them if they want to try. + +Tom and Anna are curious, and they want to try the bike. They take turns to sit on the bike and pedal. But they find out that the bike is not fun at all. It is hard to pedal, and it makes them tired and sweaty. They also feel uncomfortable on the bike seat, and they want to stop. They tell their dad that they do not like the bike, and that they prefer the train. + +Their dad smiles and hugs them. He tells them that he is proud of them for trying something new, and that he loves them. He also tells them that the train is a great toy, and that they can play with it as much as they want. He helps them to put the bike back in the corner, and he joins them to play with the train. They attach more cars to the train, and they have fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the yard. They saw a big sack on the grass. They ran to it and opened it. Inside, they found many toys and books. They were very happy. + +"Look, a doll!" Lily said. She took the doll and hugged it. + +"Look, a car!" Tom said. He took the car and made it go vroom. + +They took out more toys and books and played with them. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a voice. It was their neighbor, Mr. Brown. He was an old man who lived next door. He was very angry. + +"Hey, you kids! That's my sack! Give it back to me!" he shouted. He came to the yard and grabbed the sack. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not know the sack was his. They thought it was a gift for them. + +"Please, Mr. Brown, don't take the sack. We like the toys and books. Can we keep some?" Lily asked. + +"No, you can't! They are mine! I bought them for my grandchildren. They are coming to visit me tomorrow. You have no right to touch them!" Mr. Brown said. + +He took the sack and went back to his house. He slammed the door. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They lay on the grass and cried. They had no toys and books to play with. + +But then, they heard another voice. It was their mom. She came to the yard and saw them crying. + +"What's wrong, my darlings? Why are you crying?" she asked. + +Lily and Tom told her what happened. They told her about the sack and Mr. Brown. + +Their mom was thoughtful. She felt sorry for them. She also felt sorry for Mr. Brown. She knew he was lonely and missed his grandchildren. + +She had an idea. + +She went to their house and got a basket. She filled it with cookies and flowers. She took Lily and Tom with her. They went to Mr. Brown's house and knocked on the door. + +Mr. Brown opened the door. He was surprised to see them. + +"Hello, Mr. Brown. We are sorry for taking your sack. We did not know it was yours. We brought you some cookies and flowers. We hope you like them. And we hope you have a nice time with your grandchildren." their mom said. + +Mr. Brown was touched. He smiled. He took the basket and thanked them. + +He looked at the sack. He felt a little guilty. He realized he was too harsh on the kids. They were just curious and innocent. + +He had another idea. + +He opened the sack and took out some toys and books. He gave them to Lily and Tom. + +"Here, you can have these. They are extras. I bought too many for my grandchildren. They won't mind. You can play with them. And maybe, you can come and visit me sometime. I would like that." he said. + +Lily and Tom were overjoyed. They thanked him and hugged him. + +They went back to the yard and played with their new toys and books. They were very happy. + +Mr. Brown watched them from his window. He was happy too. He felt less lonely and more hopeful. + +He thought they were very thoughtful kids. And he thought he had made some new friends. +Lila and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They also liked to look at the trees. There were many trees in the park, but their favorite was the big oak. The oak was very old and tall and had many leaves. + +One day, they saw something new on the oak. It was a small, round, hairy thing. It was hanging from a branch. They wondered what it was. They asked their mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"That is a cocoon," their mom said. "It is where a caterpillar lives. A caterpillar is a small, long, hairy bug that eats leaves. But soon, the caterpillar will change. It will become a butterfly. A butterfly is a beautiful bug that has wings and can fly." + +Lila and Ben were amazed. They wanted to see the caterpillar change. They decided to come back to the park every day and check on the cocoon. They hoped to see the butterfly. + +They waited and waited. The cocoon did not change. It stayed small and round and hairy. Lila and Ben were getting bored. They wondered if the caterpillar was still inside. They wondered if it was sleeping or dreaming. + +Then, one sunny morning, they saw something different. The cocoon had a small hole in it. And out of the hole, a colorful wing was poking. Lila and Ben were excited. They ran to the oak and watched. The hole got bigger and bigger. And then, out came the butterfly. It was orange and black and white. It was very pretty. It flapped its wings and flew away. + +Lila and Ben clapped and cheered. They had seen the caterpillar change. They had seen the butterfly. They were very happy. They thanked the oak for giving them a wonderful show. They said goodbye to the butterfly and hoped to see it again. They went back to their mom and told her what they had seen. Their mom smiled and hugged them. She was proud of them for being curious and patient. She said they had learned something new and amazing. She said they had seen a miracle. +Lily loved pears. She liked their sweet and juicy taste, and their soft and smooth skin. She wanted to eat a pear for her snack, but she could not find any in the kitchen. She searched in the fridge, in the fruit bowl, in the cupboard, but there were no pears. She felt frustrated and sad. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, where are the pears? I want a pear for my snack." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I have a surprise for you, Lily. Follow me to the backyard." + +Lily followed her mom, curious and hopeful. Maybe her mom had some pears hidden somewhere. When they reached the backyard, Lily saw a big and green tree. It was a pear tree! Her mom had planted it last year, and now it had many ripe and yummy pears hanging from its branches. + +"Look, Lily, this is your surprise. You can pick a pear from the tree and eat it. It is fresh and delicious. Do you like it?" her mom asked. + +Lily was so happy and excited. She ran to the tree and reached for a pear. She pulled it gently and it came off easily. She thanked her mom and took a big bite. It was the best pear she ever had. She smiled and said, "I love it, mom. Thank you for the surprise. This is the best snack ever." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big jeep in the garage. It is green and shiny. Lily wants to drive the jeep. + +"Can I lead the jeep?" Lily asks Tom. + +"OK, but be careful," Tom says. He gets in the jeep with Lily. Lily turns the key and the jeep makes a loud noise. She pushes the pedal and the jeep moves. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily says. She drives the jeep around the garage. She sees a box of cookies on a shelf. They look sweet and yummy. + +"Look, Tom, cookies!" Lily says. She stops the jeep and reaches for the box. But the box is too high. She can't get it. + +"Let me help you," Tom says. He climbs out of the jeep and stands on the seat. He grabs the box and gives it to Lily. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend," Lily says. She opens the box and shares the cookies with Tom. They eat the cookies and smile. They are sweet and crunchy. + +The jeep is fun, but the cookies are better. Lily and Tom are happy. They hug and laugh. They are the best friends. +Anna 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 obedient. He always came when they called him and did not bark too much. + +One day, Anna and Ben wanted to stay outside until the sunset. They liked to see the sky change colors and the stars come out. But their mom said they had to come inside before it got dark. She said it was not safe to be outside when it was dark. She said they had to eat dinner and take a bath and go to bed. + +Anna and Ben did not want to listen to their mom. They thought they were big enough to be outside when it was dark. They thought the sunset was more fun than dinner and bath and bed. They decided to hide behind the slide and wait for their mom to go inside. Then they would sneak out and watch the sunset. + +But Spot did not like their plan. He was obedient to their mom and he knew they were supposed to come inside. He did not want them to get in trouble or get hurt. He barked and barked and ran to the slide. He pulled Anna and Ben by their clothes and dragged them to the door. He did not let them go until their mom saw them. + +Anna and Ben were very mad at Spot. They thought he was a bad dog who ruined their fun. They yelled at him and pushed him away. But their mom was very happy with Spot. She praised him and gave him a treat. She said he was a good dog who saved them from danger. She said they should be more like him and be obedient. + +Anna and Ben felt ashamed of themselves. They realized they were wrong and Spot was right. They said they were sorry to their mom and to Spot. They hugged him and said he was a good dog and a good friend. They went inside and ate dinner and took a bath and went to bed. They learned their lesson and never tried to hide from their mom again. They still liked to watch the sunset, but only when their mom said it was okay. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They saw a shiny thing on the ground. It was a copper coin. + +"Look, a penny!" Tom said. He wanted to touch it. + +"No, don't touch it!" Mia said. "It is dirty and it can make you sick." + +But Tom was stubborn. He did not listen to Mia. He touched the copper coin with his finger. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. "It hurts!" + +Mia looked at Tom's finger. It had a green spot on it. The copper coin had made a bad mark on his skin. + +"I told you not to touch it!" Mia said. "Now you have to go to mom and get some cream." + +Tom was sorry. He wished he had listened to Mia. He learned that copper coins are not good to touch. He followed Mia to the house. He hoped his finger would get better soon. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the big house. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then said, "Ready or not, here I come!" + +She looked for Ben in the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom, but she could not find him. She thought he might be in the basement, where it was dark and scary. She opened the door and went down the stairs. She saw a small light at the end of the hall. She walked towards it, hoping it was Ben. + +But when she got closer, she saw that it was not Ben. It was a big, black spider, with eight legs and eight eyes. It was sitting on a web, waiting for something to catch. Lily was afraid of spiders. She screamed and ran back to the stairs. + +Ben heard Lily scream and came out of his hiding spot. He was in the closet under the stairs. He had closed the door and made a fort with some blankets and pillows. He thought it was a good place to hide, but he also felt lonely and bored. He wanted to play with Lily. + +He saw Lily running up the stairs, crying and shaking. He followed her and asked, "What's wrong, Lily? What did you see?" + +Lily hugged Ben and said, "There's a big, black spider in the basement! It's scary and ugly and it wants to eat us!" + +Ben said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'll protect you. Let's go to the kitchen and get some cookies. Then we'll tell Mom and Dad about the spider. Maybe they can get rid of it." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Ben. You're a good brother. I'm sorry I left you in the closet. It must have been very quiet and boring there." + +Ben said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry I scared you with the spider. It must have been very dark and scary there." + +They held hands and went to the kitchen. They ate some cookies and drank some milk. They felt better and forgot about the spider. They did not know that the spider was still in the basement, waiting for its next meal. +Lily liked to help her mom bake in the kitchen. She wanted to make soup for dad, who was sick in bed. Mom said soup would make him feel better. Lily put on her apron and climbed on a stool. She stirred the pot with a big spoon. + +"Can I add some salt, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, but only a little bit. Too much salt is not good for dad," mom said. + +Lily reached for the salt shaker, but it was too far. She stretched her arm, but she lost her balance. She fell off the stool and knocked over the pot. The soup spilled all over the floor and the stove. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "I'm sorry, mom! I'm sorry, dad!" + +Mom turned off the stove and ran to Lily. She hugged her and checked if she was hurt. + +"It's okay, sweetie. You're not hurt, and that's what matters. Accidents happen sometimes. We can clean up the mess and make more soup later," mom said. + +Lily felt bad. She wanted to help, not make trouble. She looked at the floor and saw the soup. It smelled good, but it was wasted. + +"Mom, can we save some soup for dad?" Lily asked. + +Mom smiled and pointed to a bowl on the counter. + +"Look, we have some soup left. I poured some before you fell. We can warm it up and take it to dad. He will love it, and he will love you more," mom said. + +Lily smiled too. She was glad they had some soup left. She hoped dad would like it and get well soon. She hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love dad too." +Tom and Lily are playing a game. They have to say a word and then repeat it. Lily says "cat, cat". Tom says "dog, dog". Lily says "bird, bird". Tom says "fish, fish". They have fun and keep score. One point for each word. + +But then Tom wants to win. He says a word that Lily does not know. He says "zebra, zebra". Lily does not know what a zebra is. She asks Tom. Tom says "It is a big animal with stripes. You have to say it or I get a point". Lily tries to say it, but she cannot. She says "z-bra, z-bra". Tom laughs and says "That is wrong. I get a point. I win". + +Lily feels sad and angry. She does not want to play anymore. She says "That is not fair. You said a hard word. You cheated". Tom says "No, I did not. You are just a baby. You do not know anything". Lily runs away and cries. + +Mom hears Lily and comes to see what is wrong. She hugs Lily and asks her what happened. Lily tells Mom about the game and the zebra. Mom says "That was not nice of Tom. He should not say words that you do not know. He should help you learn new words, not make fun of you. He should be a good friend, not a mean one". + +Mom goes to talk to Tom. She tells him that he hurt Lily's feelings. She tells him that he should apologize and play nicely. She tells him that he should not repeat his mistake. She tells him that he should be kind and respectful to others, no matter how old or young they are. She tells him that he should share and take turns, not cheat and boast. She tells him that he should be a good sport, not a sore loser. + +Tom feels sorry and ashamed. He realizes that he was wrong. He goes to find Lily and says he is sorry. He says he will not say hard words anymore. He says he will teach her new words, not laugh at her. He says he will be a good friend, not a mean one. He says he will play fair, not cheat. He says he will have fun, not win. + +Lily forgives Tom and smiles. She says she will learn new words, not give up. She says she will be a good friend, too. She says she will play nice, not cry. She says she will have fun, too. + +They hug and make up. They play the game again. They say simple words and repeat them. They have fun and keep score. They do not care who wins. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big castle made of sand. It had towers and walls and a flag. Anna and Ben wanted to play in the castle. + +"Can we go inside?" Anna asked. + +"Let's ask the boy who made it," Ben said. + +They walked to the boy who was sitting near the castle. He had a bucket and a shovel. He looked proud of his castle. + +"Hello, we like your castle. Can we play in it?" Ben asked. + +The boy blinked. He was surprised. He did not know Anna and Ben. + +"Thank you, but this is my castle. I made it by myself. You can't play in it," the boy said. + +Anna and Ben felt sad. They thought the boy was not nice. They wanted to play in the castle. + +"Please, can we play with you? We can help you make the castle bigger and better," Anna said. + +The boy blinked again. He thought for a moment. He liked his castle, but he was also lonely. He did not have any friends to play with. + +"Okay, you can play with me. But be careful. Don't break my castle," the boy said. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They were happy. They thanked the boy and joined him. They used the bucket and the shovel to make more sand. They added more towers and walls and flags. They made the castle the most beautiful castle in the park. + +The boy was happy too. He liked Anna and Ben. They were nice and fun. They made his castle more modest and more amazing. He made new friends. He blinked and smiled. +Lila and Ben were happy to go to Grandma's house for the weekend. They packed their bags with clothes, toys and books. They said goodbye to Mom and Dad and got in the car with Grandma. + +"Are we there yet?" Ben asked after a while. + +"Soon, my dear. Just a little more," Grandma said. + +Lila looked out the window and saw trees, flowers and cows. She liked the colors and the smells. She smiled and hummed a song. + +When they arrived, Grandma helped them unpack their bags and put them in their room. She gave them each a hug and a kiss. + +"Now you can play or read or rest, whatever you like. I'll make some cookies for later," she said. + +Lila and Ben thanked her and ran to the backyard. They saw a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They decided to play in the sandbox first. They took their shovels and buckets and made castles and tunnels. + +They were having fun, but then Ben felt something on his arm. He looked and saw a red spot. It was an itch. He scratched it, but it didn't go away. It got bigger and bigger. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "Lila, look at my arm! It hurts and itches!" + +Lila looked and saw the red spot. She was worried. She remembered that Mom had told them to be careful of bugs and plants that could make them itch. + +"Maybe you touched something bad, Ben. Come on, let's go to Grandma. She'll know what to do," she said. + +She took his hand and they ran to the house. They found Grandma in the kitchen. She saw Ben's arm and frowned. + +"Oh, dear. You have a rash, Ben. It looks like you're allergic to something. Maybe it was a bee or a flower or a weed. Don't worry, I have some cream that will help. Come here, let me put it on," she said. + +She took a tube from a drawer and squeezed some cream on Ben's arm. She rubbed it gently and smiled. + +"There, that should make it feel better. It will also make the redness go away. You'll be fine in no time," she said. + +Ben felt the cream cool his arm. He felt less itch and less pain. He smiled and hugged Grandma. + +"Thank you, Grandma. You're the best," he said. + +"You're welcome, Ben. I love you. And you too, Lila. You're a good sister. You helped Ben when he needed you," she said. + +She hugged them both and gave them a cookie. They ate it and felt happy. They saw that Ben's arm was less red and less swollen. It was still a little pale, but it looked better. + +They decided to play on the swing and the slide instead of the sandbox. They had fun and laughed. They forgot about the itch and enjoyed their weekend. +Lily was very happy today. She was going to see her grandma and grandpa. They lived far away, so Lily had to ride in a big car with her mom and dad. Lily liked to look out the window and see the trees and the animals and the houses. + +Lily knew they were almost there when she saw the big sign with the name of the town. She also saw a bright red balloon tied to a mailbox. Lily loved balloons. She wondered who had the balloon and why. She asked her mom, but her mom said it was a surprise. + +Soon, they arrived at grandma and grandpa's house. Lily jumped out of the car and ran to hug them. They were so happy to see her. They gave her a big kiss and a cookie. Then, they said they had a special gift for her. They took her to the backyard, where there was a big tent with a sign that said "Lily's Circus". + +Lily was amazed. She saw a lot of bright balloons, like the one on the mailbox. She also saw a clown, a lion, a monkey, and a horse. They were all her toys, but they looked real.

They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over them. One day, they both want the same truck. Ben grabs the truck and says, "This is mine!" Sam says, "No, it is mine!" They start to pull the truck from each other. + +Mom hears them and comes to the room. She sees them pulling the truck. She is not happy. She says, "Stop that! You are hurting the truck and each other. Why are you fighting?" Ben says, "Because Sam is stupid. He wants my truck." Sam says, "No, Ben is stupid. He took my truck." + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "You are both wrong. The truck is not yours or his. It is ours. We share it. And you are not stupid. You are smart and kind. But you are acting silly. Fighting is not a good job. Sharing is a good job. Can you do that?" + +Ben and Sam look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, brother." They let go of the truck. They hug each other. They say, "We can share. We can play together. We can do a good job." Mom smiles. She says, "That's better. I love you both. Now, have fun with the truck."

They opened it and saw her beautiful picture. They smiled and hugged it. They put it on the table and went to make some tea. They did not see that the picture started to move. The crayon grandma and grandpa got up and looked around. They saw the real grandma and grandpa in the kitchen. They decided to go and say hello. + +They walked to the kitchen and tapped on the real grandma and grandpa's shoulders. The real grandma and grandpa turned around and gasped.

Dad called it a stadium. Ben and Lily were very excited. They wanted to see the players run and kick and score. + +But when they got to their seats, they saw a problem. They were very far from the field. They could barely see the players. They looked like ants. Ben and Lily started to complain. + +"Dad, this is not fun. We can't see anything. Why are we here?" Ben said. + +"Dad, I want to go home. I'm bored and hungry. Can we play soccer in the park?" Lily said. + +Dad tried to make them happy. He pointed to the big screen that showed the game.

Maybe it is bored of the regular sand." + +The crab hears them and clicks its claws. It wants to say something. + +"Hello, kids," the crab says. "You are right, I like to balance on the rock. It is fun and different. The regular sand is too flat and dull. Do you want to try?" + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They did not know that crabs can talk. They look at each other and nod. + +"OK, we want to try," Sara says. "But be careful, do not pinch us." + +The crab smiles and moves over. It makes room for Sara and Ben on the rock. They climb up and try to balance. It is hard and wobbly. They laugh and have fun. The crab teaches them how to balance better. + +They make a new friend and learn a new game. They like the crab and the rock. They are not bored of the regular sand anymore. +Lily and Sam are twins. They like to play dress-up with their clothes. They have a big box of clothes in their room. They can find hats, scarves, dresses, shirts, pants, and shoes in the box. + +One day, they decide to dress up as pirates. They look for clothes that are black and red. They find a black shirt, a red scarf, a black hat, and some old pants. They cut the pants to make them short.

They say "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" and pretend to sail a ship. They have a lot of fun. + +Their mom comes to their room and sees them. She smiles and says, "You look very cute, my little pirates. Do you want some cookies and milk?" + +They nod and say, "Yes, please, mom. Thank you, mom." They take off their clothes and put them back in the box. They follow their mom to the kitchen. They are happy. +Sara and Ben like to play sport with their friends. They play tag, catch, and run. They have fun and laugh a lot. Sometimes they play until it is dark and they can't see well. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a ball that glows. It is bright and shiny and makes a soft sound. They are very happy and curious. They show it to their friends and they all want to play with it. + +"Let's play catch with the glow ball!" Sara says. + +"Good idea! It is useful when it is dark!" Ben says. + +They take turns to throw and catch the glow ball. They can see it in the air and on the ground. They have more fun and laugh more. The glow ball makes them feel warm and happy. + +But then, a big dog comes and sees the glow ball. He thinks it is a toy for him. He runs and jumps and grabs the glow ball in his mouth. He runs away with it. + +"Hey! That's our glow ball!" Sara shouts. + +"Come back, dog! Give it back!" Ben shouts. + +They chase the dog, but he is too fast and too far. They lose sight of him and the glow ball. They are sad and angry. They miss their glow ball. + +They go back to their friends and tell them what happened. Their friends are sad and angry too. They hug Sara and Ben and try to cheer them up. + +"Don't worry, Sara and Ben. Maybe we can find another glow ball someday." one friend says. + +"Or maybe the dog will bring it back. He might get bored of it." another friend says. + +"Or maybe we can make our own glow ball. We can use a flashlight and some tape." another friend says. + +They smile and nod. They still like to play sport with their friends. They still have fun and laugh a lot. But they always remember their glow ball and hope to see it again. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. But their favorite was the penguin house. They liked to watch the penguins swim and slide on the ice. + +"Look, mom, that penguin is so funny!" Lily said, pointing to a penguin that was spinning on its belly. + +"Yes, it is, sweetie. Penguins are very smart and playful. They can do many things with their flippers and feet," mom said. + +Ben wanted to touch a penguin. He saw one that was close to the fence. He ran to it and reached his hand over the fence. + +"Ben, no! You can't do that!" mom shouted. "You have to behave. Penguins are not toys. They are wild animals. They can bite you or get scared." + +But Ben did not listen. He tried to grab the penguin by its wing. The penguin did not like that. It squawked and pecked at Ben's hand. Ben cried out in pain and let go of the penguin. He felt a drop of blood on his finger. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Mommy, it hurt me!" Ben sobbed. + +Mom ran to Ben and hugged him. She looked at his finger and saw a small cut. She took a tissue from her bag and wrapped it around his finger. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. You have to be more careful. Penguins are not pets. They need their space and respect. You have to follow the rules at the zoo. Do you understand?" mom said. + +Ben nodded. He felt sorry for the penguin. He realized he was mean to it. He looked at the penguin and saw that it was shaking and hiding behind another penguin. It looked scared and helpless. + +"I'm sorry, penguin. I didn't mean to hurt you. You are very cute and cool. I hope you are okay," Ben said softly. + +The penguin heard Ben's voice and peeked out from behind its friend. It saw that Ben was not angry or scary anymore. It saw that Ben was sorry and kind. It tilted its head and made a soft noise. It seemed to say, "It's okay. I forgive you." + +Ben smiled and waved at the penguin. The penguin waved back with its flipper. Ben and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned to behave and respect the animals at the zoo. They learned that penguins are amazing and friendly. They learned that they can make friends with penguins, but only from a distance. +Anna and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and make bracelets. One day, they found a big box of beads and strings in the attic. They were very happy and decided to make bracelets for each other. + +Anna made a bracelet for Lily with pink and purple beads.

Anna smiled and thanked Lily. She put the bracelet on her wrist and said, "It is very nice. Thank you, Lily." + +They hugged and played with their dolls. They felt very peaceful and happy. They did not know that the beads and strings were not theirs. They belonged to Anna's big sister, who was very mean and selfish. She had hidden them in the attic and did not want to share them with anyone. + +When Anna's big sister came home, she saw Anna and Lily playing with her beads and strings. She was very angry and yelled, "What are you doing with my things? Give them back to me right now!" She grabbed the box and threw it on the floor. The beads and strings scattered everywhere. She saw the bracelets on Anna and Lily's wrists and said, "Those are mine too! How dare you make them without my permission?" She snatched the bracelets and broke them. The beads and charms fell off and rolled away. + +Anna and Lily were very sad and scared. They cried and said, "Please, don't do that. We just wanted to make bracelets for each other. We did not know they were yours. We are sorry." But Anna's big sister did not listen. She said, "You are not sorry. You are thieves and liars. You are not my sister or my friend. You are nothing to me. Go away and never come back." She pushed them out of the room and slammed the door. + +Anna and Lily ran downstairs and out of the house. They hugged each other and sobbed. They had lost their bracelets and their friendship. They felt very lonely and hurt. They did not feel peaceful or happy anymore. They wished they had never found the box of beads and strings. They wished they had never made the bracelets. They wished they had never met Anna's big sister. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big car stop near the gate. A lady came out of the car. She had a long dress and a shiny hat. She looked important. + +"Who is she?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know.

He is the one who decides what to do in the city," she said. + +"What is a mayor?" Ben asked. + +"A mayor is a person who helps people and makes rules. He is like a boss," she said. + +"Wow, that sounds cool. Do you like your job?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I do. It is fun and interesting. But sometimes it is hard and busy. I have to talk to a lot of people and write a lot of papers," she said. + +"Can we see your papers?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can. They are in my car. Come with me," she said. + +She took Ben and Lily to her car. She opened a big bag and showed them some papers. They had pictures and words on them. + +"These are some of the papers I write. They are about the park and how to make it better. See, this one is about the swings and this one is about the flowers," she said. + +"Wow, they are pretty. Can we draw on them?" Lily asked. + +"No, no, you can't. They are very important. I have to give them to the mayor. He will read them and decide what to do," she said. + +"Oh, okay. We won't touch them," Lily said. + +"Thank you. You are very good children. I have to go now. It was nice to meet you. Goodbye," she said. + +She put the papers back in her bag. She got in her car. She waved at Ben and Lily. + +"Goodbye, Mrs. Smith. Thank you for talking to us," Ben said. + +"Goodbye, Mrs. Smith. You are very nice," Lily said. + +They watched her car drive away. They went back to the playground. They played some more. + +"Ben, do you know what we have to do when we meet someone important?" Lily asked. + +"No, what?" Ben asked. + +"We have to bow. Like this," Lily said. + +She bent her knees and lowered her head. She looked like a princess. + +"Wow, that's cool. Like this?" Ben asked. + +He did the same. He looked like a prince. + +"Yes, like this. Let's bow to everyone we see. Maybe they are important too," Lily said. + +They bowed to everyone they saw.

He grabbed his fireman toy and hid under the bed. + +He heard his mom scream and call for help. He heard sirens and loud noises outside. He hoped the real firemen would come and save them. + +Soon, he saw a clear light under the door. He heard a voice say, "Is anyone here?" He crawled out from under the bed and saw a real fireman in the doorway. The fireman had a helmet, a coat, and a mask. He looked like Tommy's toy, but bigger and stronger. + +The fireman saw Tommy and smiled. He said, "Don't worry, little buddy. I'm here to help you. Come with me."

They liked to pretend they were in a fancy castle, with a big armchair for the king and a small stool for the queen. Sara wanted to be the queen, and Ben wanted to be the king. They put on some hats and scarves and sat on their seats. + +"Hello, my king," Sara said in a high voice. "How are you today?" + +"I am very well, my queen," Ben said in a deep voice. "But I have a little problem. I have a sneeze in my nose, and it won't come out." + +"Oh, no, my king," Sara said. "That is not good. You need to blow your nose with a tissue." + +"I don't have a tissue, my queen," Ben said. "And I don't want to get up from my armchair. It is very comfy and soft." + +Sara looked around the room. She saw a tissue box on the table, but it was too far for her to reach. She had an idea. She got up from her stool and took off her scarf. She folded it into a square and gave it to Ben. + +"Here, my king," she said. "You can use my scarf as a tissue. It is very clean and soft." + +Ben took the scarf and smiled. He thanked Sara and put it to his nose. He tried to sneeze, but nothing happened. He tried again, but still nothing. He felt the sneeze getting bigger and bigger in his nose. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth. + +"Achoo!" he sneezed, very loud and hard. The scarf flew out of his hand and landed on the lamp. The lamp wobbled and fell to the floor. The light bulb broke and made a loud noise. + +Sara and Ben gasped. They looked at the mess they had made. They heard their mom coming down the stairs. They knew they were in trouble.

You are a good brother." + +Ben smiles back and says, "You're welcome, Anna. You are a good sister." + +They look out the window and see the zoo sign.

Now, let's go have some fun." +Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and make noise. One day, they found a saw in the garage.

"It looks fun!" + +Tom and Sam picked up the saw and tried to move it. It was very heavy and hard to hold. They walked to the backyard with the saw. + +In the backyard, there was a big tree. Tom and Sam wanted to cut the tree with the saw. They put the saw on the tree and pushed and pulled. The saw made a loud sound and the tree shook. + +"Stop! Stop!" a voice shouted. It was Dad.

You could hurt yourself or the tree or the house!" + +Tom and Sam dropped the saw and looked at Dad. They felt sorry and afraid. + +"We just wanted to play, Dad," Tom said. "We didn't know it was dangerous." + +Dad picked up the saw and put it away. He took Tom and Sam to the house. He wanted to discuss with them why they should not play with the saw. + +"Listen, boys," Dad said. "The saw is not a toy. It is a serious tool that only grown-ups can use. It can cut things very fast, but it can also cut you or someone else. You could lose a finger or an eye or worse. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nodded. They understood. They did not want to lose a finger or an eye or worse. + +"We're sorry, Dad," Sam said. "We won't play with the saw again." + +Dad hugged Tom and Sam. He was glad they were safe and sorry. + +"I love you, boys," Dad said. "But you have to be careful and listen to me. There are many other things you can play with that are not dangerous.

They followed Dad to their room and played with their toys and made noise. But they never played with the saw again. +Anna was a girl who liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Anna took Lily everywhere she went. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them, but she was worried. What if they did not like her? What if they did not like Lily? She held Lily tight and stayed near her mom. + +Then, she saw a boy who had a doll too. His doll had short hair, a blue shirt and a hat. He was playing by himself on the bench. Anna felt curious. She walked over to him and said, "Hi, I'm Anna. This is Lily. What is your name? Who is your doll?" + +The boy looked up and smiled. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. This is Max. He is my best friend. Do you want to play with us?" + +Anna nodded. She said, "Yes, please. I like dolls too. Can I see Max?" + +Ben handed Max to Anna. Anna looked at him and said, "He is very nice. I like his hat.

She showed them how to fold paper into different shapes, like birds and boats and stars. + +"Look, Anna, this is a paper bird. Do you see its wings and beak?" Grandma said, holding a blue paper bird in her hand. + +"Yes, Grandma, it is very pretty. Can I make one too?" Anna asked, reaching for some paper. + +"Of course, my dear. Here, let me help you. You need to fold the paper like this, and then like this, and then like this." Grandma said, guiding Anna's fingers. + +Ben was watching them with interest. He wanted to make a paper bird too, but he had another idea. He ran inside the house and came back with a feather he had found in his room. It was a big, white feather, very soft and fluffy. + +"Look, Grandma, look, Anna, I have a real feather!" Ben said, waving the feather in the air. + +"That's very nice, Ben. Where did you find it?" Grandma asked, smiling. + +"I found it in my pillow. It came out when I was sleeping. Can I use it to make a paper bird?" Ben asked, holding the feather next to a piece of paper. + +"Well, you can try, Ben, but I don't think it will work very well. A feather is not the same as paper. It is too bendy and fluffy. It won't fold like paper does." Grandma explained. + +"But I want to make a paper bird with a feather. It will be more real and more beautiful." Ben insisted, trying to fold the feather and the paper together. + +Anna watched Ben struggle with the feather and the paper. She felt sorry for him. She had an idea. She took her paper bird and gave it to Ben. + +"Here, Ben, you can have my paper bird. It is blue, like the sky. And you can put your feather on its tail. Then it will have a real feather and a paper feather. It will be the best paper bird ever." Anna said, handing her bird to Ben. + +Ben looked at Anna's paper bird. He liked it very much. He took it and thanked her. He put his feather on the paper bird's tail. It looked very nice. He was happy. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. I like your paper bird. And I like your feather too. It is very soft and fluffy. Can I touch it?" Ben said, admiring his paper bird. + +"Sure, Ben. You can touch it. It is your feather now. And your paper bird too. We can play with them together." Anna said, smiling. + +Grandma watched them with love. She was proud of them. They were very sweet and generous. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"You are very good children. I love you very much. And I love your paper birds too. They are very beautiful. Do you want to fly them in the garden?" Grandma said, holding their hands. + +"Yes, Grandma, yes. Let's fly them in the garden. Let's make them soar and sing and dance in the air." Anna and Ben said, excited. + +They ran to the garden with their paper birds and their feather. They threw them in the air and watched them fly. They laughed and clapped and cheered. They had a lot of fun. They were very happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the kitchen. They find a big cupboard with many things inside. They want to see what is in the cupboard. + +"Look, Anna, a pot!" Ben says. He takes the pot and puts it on the floor. "I can teach you how to cook. It is fun!" + +"Okay, Ben, show me!" Anna says. She takes a spoon and a bowl. She pretends to stir something in the bowl. + +Ben puts some water in the pot. He puts the pot on the stove. He turns the knob. He does not know that the stove is hot. + +"Ouch!" Ben says. He feels the heat from the stove. He drops the pot. The water spills on the floor. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna says. She runs to him. She sees that his hand is red. + +"I'm okay, Anna, but it hurts. The stove is tough. It burned me." Ben says. He starts to cry. + +Anna hugs him. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. The stove is not for playing. It is for grown-ups. They know how to cook. We should not touch it." + +Ben nods. He says, "You're right, Anna. The stove is not for us. We should play with something else. Maybe we can find some toys in the cupboard." + +Anna smiles. She says, "Yes, Ben, let's do that. Maybe we can find something soft and nice. And we can teach each other how to play with it." + +They wipe their tears. They look in the cupboard again. They find some dolls and cars. They take them to the floor. They forget about the stove and the pot. They have fun playing together. They teach each other how to make stories with the dolls and the cars. They are happy. +Sam and Ben were brothers. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a pipe in the grass. It was big and brown and smelly. + +"Look, a pipe!" Sam said. "I want to play with it." + +"No, I want to play with it!" Ben said. "It is mine!" + +They both grabbed the pipe and pulled hard. They did not want to share. They started to yell and cry. + +"Boys, what is going on?" Mom came out of the house. She saw the pipe and smelled the stink. She made a face. "That is not a toy. That is a sewer pipe. It is dirty and nasty. Drop it right now!" + +Sam and Ben dropped the pipe. They felt bad. They did not know it was a sewer pipe. They did not want to make Mom angry. + +"Sorry, Mom," they said. + +Mom hugged them. "It is okay. You did not know. But you should not fight over things. You should share and be nice to each other. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom," they said. + +Mom smiled. "Good. Now, go wash your hands and play with something else. And thank me for saving you from the smelly pipe." + +"Thank you, Mom," they said. "You are the best." + +They ran to the sink and washed their hands. Then they went to play with their blocks. They did not fight anymore. They shared and helped each other. They were happy. +Tom and Mia like to play hide and seek. Tom is good at finding places to hide. Mia is good at counting and looking. One day, they play hide and seek in the kitchen. Tom sees a big white box. He opens it and goes inside. It is very cold and dark. He thinks Mia will not find him there. + +Mia counts to ten and says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks under the table, behind the chairs, in the cupboard, but she does not see Tom. She thinks he is very clever. She hears a small sound. It comes from the big white box. She goes to the box and opens it. She sees Tom shivering and holding his teeth. He looks very cold and scared. + +"Tom, what are you doing in there?" Mia asks. "That is the freezer. It is for keeping food cold, not for hiding. You could get sick or hurt." + +Tom feels silly and sorry. He says, "I wanted to hide from you, but I did not know it was so cold and dark. I was afraid you would not find me. I wanted to come out, but I could not open the box. I was stuck." + +Mia says, "Don't worry, Tom. I found you. You are safe now. Come out of the freezer. You need to warm up and hug me." + +Tom comes out of the freezer. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are very clever and kind. You are the best seeker. I surrender. You win." + +Mia says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are very brave and fun. You are the best hider. I love you." + +They hug each other and laugh. They decide to play something else. They do not hide in the freezer again. +Sara and Ben liked to play in the snow. They made a big pile of snow and used a bucket to make blocks. They wanted to make an igloo, like the ones they saw in a book. They worked hard and added more and more blocks to their igloo. They made a door and a window and a roof. + +But Max, the big dog, was watching them. He was bored and wanted to play too. He saw the igloo and thought it was a toy. He ran towards it and barked. Sara and Ben heard him and felt troubled. They knew Max liked to chew and dig and jump on things. They did not want him to ruin their igloo. + +They ran out of the igloo and tried to stop Max. They shouted and waved their arms. But Max was too fast and too strong. He reached the igloo and pushed it with his nose. The blocks fell down and the igloo collapsed. Sara and Ben cried and Max wagged his tail. He thought they were happy and wanted to play more. + +Sara and Ben were sad and angry. They had worked so hard and now their igloo was gone. They told Max to go away and leave them alone. They hugged each other and looked at the mess. They wondered if they could make another igloo. + +But then they saw something shiny in the snow. It was a coin that had fallen out of Ben's pocket. It was a special coin that their grandma had given them. She had told them it was lucky and would help them when they needed it. Sara and Ben smiled and picked up the coin. They felt a little better. They decided to try again and make a new igloo. They hoped Max would not bother them again. They put the coin in a safe place and started to add more snow to their pile. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big map on a bench. The map is gray and has many lines and dots. + +"Look, a map!" Tom says. "Maybe it is a treasure map!" + +"Wow, let's follow it!" Mia says. They take the map and run to the playground. + +The map shows them to go to the slide, then to the swings, then to the sandbox. They do what the map says. They have fun. + +But when they get to the sandbox, they see a big dog. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. It is digging in the sand. It sees Tom and Mia and growls. + +"Uh-oh, a dog!" Tom says. "Maybe it is guarding the treasure!" + +"Or maybe it is the treasure!" Mia says. "Maybe it is a friendly dog!" + +They go closer to the dog. They want to pet it. But the dog does not like them. It barks and jumps at them. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Mia scream. They drop the map and run away. The dog chases them. + +They run to the bench where they found the map. They see a man sitting there. He is wearing a gray hat and a gray coat. He has a gray beard. He looks at them and smiles. + +"Hello, kids," he says. "Did you like my map?" + +"Your map?" Tom and Mia say. They are confused and scared. + +"Yes, my map. I made it for fun. It is not a real treasure map. It is just a game. And the dog is not a treasure either. It is my dog. His name is Rex. He likes to play, too. But he can be a bit rough sometimes. I'm sorry he scared you." + +Tom and Mia look at the man and the dog. They are not sure what to say. They are still shaking. + +"Can we have our map back?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, sure," the man says. He gives them the map. "But be careful with it. It is not a real map. It is just a game." + +Tom and Mia take the map. They say thank you and goodbye. They walk away from the man and the dog. They look at the map. They look at each other. + +"Let's play something else," Mia says. + +"OK," Tom says. + +They fold the map and put it in their pocket. They go to the slide and have fun. They forget about the dog and the treasure. They are happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings. They swing high and low. They laugh and sing. + +One day, they see a big brown dog in the park. The dog looks hungry. It has no food. It comes near the swings. It barks at Tom and Sue. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom says. "We are playing. You are not nice." + +But the dog does not go away. It jumps on the swings. It tries to bite Tom and Sue. They are scared. They scream for help. + +A man hears them. He runs to the park. He has a bag of food. He throws some food to the dog. The dog stops barking. It runs to the food. It eats the food. It wags its tail. + +"Thank you, man!" Tom and Sue say. "You saved us. You are nice." + +The man smiles. He says, "You are welcome, kids. I am sorry for the dog. He is lost. He needs a home. Do you want to be his friends?" + +Tom and Sue look at the dog. The dog looks at them. He licks his lips. He looks happy. + +"OK, man," Tom says. "We will be his friends. But he has to be nice. And he has to share the swings." + +The man nods. He says, "Deal. What will you name him?" + +Tom and Sue think. They say, "We will name him Brownie. He is brown. And he likes food." + +The man, the kids, and the dog laugh. They play in the park. They swing on the swings. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were happy to go to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They brought their buckets and shovels and made a big castle. + +"Look at our castle, Mom!" Lily said. "It has a flag and a door and a moat." + +"It's very nice, sweetie," Mom said. "But be careful, the water is coming closer. We don't want the castle to get washed away." + +Tom nodded. He saw the waves getting bigger and stronger. He wanted to save the castle. He ran to the shore and put more sand around the moat. He did not see the big wave behind him. + +"Lily, hurry!" Mom shouted. "The wave is coming! Grab Tom and run!" + +Lily saw the wave too. It was very big and scary. She was afraid. She tried to hurry and reach Tom, but she was too late. The wave crashed on the shore and swept Tom and the castle away. + +Lily screamed. Mom and Dad ran to the water and looked for Tom. They could not find him. He was gone. + +Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She wished she had hurried more. She wished the wave had not come. She wished Tom was still with her. She wished they had never gone to the beach. +One day, Ben and Lily were playing in the bathroom. They liked to pretend they were pirates and mermaids. Ben had a toy sword and Lily had a toy crown. They splashed water and made funny noises. + +But then, Ben saw a big bottle of shampoo on the shelf. He wanted to use it as a treasure. He reached for it and said, "Arrr, this is mine now, matey!" + +Lily did not like that. She wanted the shampoo too. She said, "No, it's mine, mermaid! Give it back!" + +They both pulled the shampoo and started to fight. The shampoo was mighty and slippery. It slipped out of their hands and fell on the floor. It made a loud noise and a lot of bubbles. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the bathroom. She saw the mess and the shampoo. She was not happy. She said, "What are you doing, Ben and Lily? You made a big mess and wasted the shampoo!" + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were playing and we wanted the shampoo." + +Mom said, "The shampoo is not for playing. It is for washing your hair. You need to clean up the mess and share your toys. And no more fighting, okay?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "Okay, mom. We're sorry. We love you." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I love you too. Now, let's clean up and get ready for bed." +Anna loves to draw and write. She has many crayons and papers. She likes to make letters and pictures for her friends and family. She writes her name, Anna, and draws a flower, a sun, and a bird. + +One day, she wants to send a letter to her grandma, who lives far away. She asks her mom for an envelope and a stamp. Her mom helps her put the letter inside the envelope and stick the stamp on it. Then they go to the mailbox and drop the letter inside. + +Anna hopes her grandma will get the letter soon and like it. She thinks her grandma is very kind and beautiful. She misses her grandma and wants to hug her. + +The next week, Anna gets a letter back from her grandma. She is very happy and excited. She opens the envelope and sees a card with a picture of a butterfly. Inside, there is a note that says, "Dear Anna, thank you for your beautiful letter. I love your flower, your sun, and your bird. You are very talented and sweet. I miss you too and hope to see you soon. Love, Grandma." + +Anna smiles and hugs the card. She feels like the butterfly on the card, ready to soar in the sky. She runs to her mom and shows her the letter. They both say, "Thank you, Grandma!" +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to build a tower as high as they can. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Let's measure our tower," Ben says. He takes a ruler and puts it next to the tower. "It is ten inches tall. How tall is yours, Anna?" + +Anna looks at her tower. It is smaller than Ben's. She only has a few blocks left. "Mine is seven inches tall. I need more blocks," she says. + +Ben looks around. He sees a box of blocks on the shelf. "There are more blocks available. Let's get them," he says. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the box. + +"Be careful, Ben," Anna says. "Don't fall." + +Ben grabs the box and brings it down. He opens it and sees many blocks inside. He smiles. "Look, Anna. There are more blocks. And there is also a treat. A sticker book. We can share it after we finish our towers." + +Anna smiles too. She likes stickers. She takes some blocks from the box and adds them to her tower. "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Let's see who can make the tallest tower. And then we can enjoy our treat." +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They were happy. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It was barking and growling. It was running towards them. They were fearful. They did not like the big dog. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben said. He took Anna's hand and they ran to the house. The big dog chased them. It was faster than them. + +"Help, help!" Anna and Ben cried. They hoped someone would hear them. They hoped someone would stop the big dog. + +Then they saw their mom. She was holding a rose. She had received it from their dad. She loved roses. She saw the big dog. She was not fearful. She was brave. + +"Stop, dog, stop!" she said. She waved the rose at the big dog. The big dog did not like the rose. It did not like the smell. It did not like the thorns. It stopped barking and growling. It turned around and ran away. + +Anna and Ben reached their mom. They hugged her. They thanked her. They were safe. + +"Mom, you are amazing!" Ben said. + +"Mom, you are a hero!" Anna said. + +Mom smiled. She gave them the rose. She said, "You are amazing and you are heroes too. You stuck together and you called for help. I am proud of you. And I love you." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big purple slide. It is shiny and smooth. + +"Wow, look at that slide!" Lily says. "It is so purple and pretty. Can we go on it?" + +"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the slide and climb up the steps. They see that the slide is not straight. It is curved and twisted. It looks like a snake. + +"Are you ready?" Ben asks. He sits on the slide and holds Lily's hand. + +"Yes, I am ready!" Lily says. They push off and slide down. The slide makes them spin and spin. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and scream. + +They reach the bottom and tumble on the grass. They are dizzy and happy. + +"That was fun!" Lily says. "Let's do it again!" + +"OK, let's do it again!" Ben says. They get up and run to the slide again. They spin and slide all day. They have the best day ever. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the old house. It was big and had many rooms to explore. But they knew they had to be careful. Some parts of the house were rot and could fall down. And some parts had scary things inside, like spiders and rats. + +One day, they found a door they had never seen before. It was at the end of a long hall. The door was brown and had a big knob. Ben wanted to open it and see what was inside. Lily was not sure. She felt something was wrong. + +"Come on, Lily, don't be a baby," Ben said. He grabbed the knob and turned it. The door made a loud creak and opened. Ben and Lily looked inside. The room was empty. There was nothing but dust and cobwebs. + +"See, there's nothing to be afraid of," Ben said. He stepped into the room. Lily followed him. She did not want to be alone in the hall. + +They walked around the room, looking for something interesting. But there was nothing. Just empty walls and empty shelves. Ben was bored. He wanted to find something else. + +"Let's go, Lily, this room is lame," he said. He walked back to the door. He reached for the knob. But the knob was not there. It had fallen off when he opened the door. It was on the floor, next to a hole in the wood. + +Ben and Lily gasped. They were trapped. They tried to push the door, but it was too heavy. They tried to yell, but no one heard them. They were alone in the empty room. And they did not know how to get out. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a big book with many pictures and Ben has a small car that can make noises. Anna likes to look at the pictures and tell stories about them. Ben likes to zoom his car around the floor and make vroom sounds. + +"Look, Ben, this is a picture of a farm. There are many animals on the farm. Do you see the cow? The cow says moo. And the pig? The pig says oink. And the sheep? The sheep says baa," Anna says, pointing at the book. + +"I see, Anna, but I like my car better. My car is fast and loud. It can go anywhere. Watch this!" Ben says, spreading his arms and making his car jump over a pillow. + +"Ben, be careful! You almost hit my book. My book is important to me. It was a gift from grandma. She said it has many stories to teach me. Please don't break it," Anna says, holding her book close to her chest. + +"Sorry, Anna, I didn't mean to. Your book is important to you and my car is important to me. We can play with both. How about we take turns? You can tell me a story from your book and then I can show you a trick with my car. OK?" Ben says, smiling. + +"OK, Ben, that sounds fair. Let's do that. You can go first. Show me your trick," Anna says, opening her book and spreading it on the floor. + +Ben nods and picks up his car. He makes it spin and flip and land on its wheels. Anna claps and laughs. Then she points at a picture of a forest and tells Ben a story about a bear and a rabbit. Ben listens and asks questions. They take turns and have fun. They are happy to share their toys and their stories. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with round things. They have a ball, a hoop, and a wheel. They roll them, toss them, and spin them. + +One day, they find a big round thing in the park. It is shiny and smooth. It has a hole in the middle. They wonder what it is. + +"Maybe it is a ring," Tom says. + +"Maybe it is a donut," Sue says. + +They want to play with it. But they do not know how to share it. They both pull on it. They pull hard. The round thing breaks. It splits in two. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Sue say. They are sad. They broke the round thing. + +A man sees them. He is modest. He does not wear fancy clothes. He wears a hat and a coat. He walks over to them. + +"Hello, children," he says. "What are you doing with my record?" + +"Your record?" Tom and Sue say. They do not know what a record is. + +"Yes, my record. It is a round thing that makes music. You put it on a player and it spins. It sounds nice. But you broke it. You split it in two. Now it does not make music." + +Tom and Sue feel sorry. They did not mean to break the man's record. They did not know it was his. They did not know it was special. + +"We are sorry, mister," they say. "We did not know. We thought it was a toy. We wanted to play with it. We did not know how to share it." + +The man is kind. He is not angry. He smiles at them. + +"It is okay, children," he says. "I have many records. I can give you another one. But you have to be careful with it. You have to treat it gently. And you have to learn how to share it. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Sue nod. They say yes. They want to be careful. They want to learn how to share. They want to hear the music. + +The man gives them another record. He shows them how to put it on a player. He turns it on. The record spins. It makes music. Tom and Sue listen. They like the music. They smile. They thank the man. + +The man says you are welcome. He says goodbye. He leaves. + +Tom and Sue look at the record. They look at each other. They decide to share it. They take turns holding it. They do not pull on it. They do not break it. They do not split it. They enjoy it. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to pretend that the dolls were their friends and had adventures with them. Tom had a blue doll and Lily had a pink doll. + +One day, a big dog came into the garden. It was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It saw the dolls and thought they were toys. It ran towards them and grabbed Tom's blue doll in its mouth. Tom was very angry and scared. He shouted at the dog. + +"Bad dog! Give me back my doll! That is mine!" + +He ran after the dog and tried to get his doll back. But the dog was faster and stronger. It shook the doll and tore it apart. Tom felt a big pain in his heart. He loved his blue doll. It was a memory of his grandma, who gave it to him before she went away. He started to cry. + +Lily saw what happened and felt sorry for Tom. She was also frightened of the dog. She wanted to help Tom. She picked up a stick and ran towards the dog. She slapped the dog on its nose with the stick. The dog was surprised and hurt. It dropped the blue doll and ran away, barking. + +"Go away, dog! Leave us alone!" + +Lily hugged Tom and gave him her pink doll. She said to him. + +"Here, Tom. You can have my doll. I don't need it. I have you. You are my friend." + +Tom smiled and hugged Lily back. He said to her. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very brave and kind. You are my friend too." + +They took the blue doll and the pink doll and went inside the house. They asked their mom to fix the blue doll. She said she would try. She also gave them some cookies and milk. They felt better. They decided to play with their dolls inside, where it was safe. They were happy. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They also liked to look at the flowers. There were many colors and shapes and smells. + +"Look, Ben, a sunflower!" Lila said, pointing to a tall yellow flower. "It is so big and bright!" + +Ben nodded. He liked sunflowers too. They were like big smiles in the garden. He ran to the sunflower and touched its petals. They were soft and warm. + +"Can you hear that, Lila?" Ben asked. He heard a loud noise in the sky. He looked up and saw a shiny thing. It was moving very fast. It was making a zoom sound. + +Lila heard it too. She looked up and saw the shiny thing. It was a plane. She had seen planes before. They were like big birds that could fly very high. + +"Wow, a plane!" Lila said. "It is so fast and loud!" + +Ben agreed. He liked planes too. They were like mighty toys that could fly anywhere. He waved to the plane and shouted hello. + +The plane zoomed over the garden and disappeared behind the clouds. Lila and Ben smiled and clapped. They were happy to see the plane. They went back to the sunflower and hugged it. They thanked it for being their friend. They continued to play in the garden until it was time to go inside. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They have a ball and a cup. They take turns to throw the ball and catch it in the cup. Anna is good at catching the ball. Ben is not. He misses the ball a lot. + +Ben gets angry. He wants to catch the ball too. He thinks Anna is not fair. He thinks she throws the ball too fast or too far. He says, "Stop it, Anna! You are mean!" He throws the cup on the ground. The cup breaks. + +Anna is sad. She likes the cup. It is her favorite cup. It has a picture of a cat on it. She says, "Why did you do that, Ben? You are bad!" She kneels down and picks up the pieces of the cup. She cries. + +Ben feels sorry. He did not mean to break the cup. He was just mad. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I did not want to break your cup. I just wanted to catch the ball." He kneels down and hugs Anna. He says, "Can we be friends again?" + +Anna stops crying. She hugs Ben back. She says, "Yes, we can be friends again. But you have to be nice. And you have to practice more. Then you can catch the ball too." They smile. + +They hear a loud noise. It is the ice cream truck. It is coming to the park. They run to the truck. They buy ice cream. They share it. They are happy. The end. +Ben was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big lion toy that could roar. He liked to make the lion roar and scare his sister Mia. Mia was a little girl who liked to dress up as a fairy. She had a pink dress and a wand that could make glitter. + +One day, Ben and Mia were playing in their room. Ben hid his lion toy under the bed and waited for Mia to come in. Mia came in with her fairy dress and wand. She wanted to play with Ben. + +"Hello, Ben. Do you want to play fairy with me?" Mia asked. + +Ben did not answer. He wanted to surprise Mia with his lion toy. He pressed a button and the lion toy roared loudly. Mia heard the roar and got scared. She dropped her wand and ran out of the room. + +"Ha ha ha! I scared you, Mia!" Ben laughed. + +Mia was sad and angry. She did not like Ben's joke. She went to find Mom. Mom was in the kitchen. She was making cookies. + +"Mom, Ben scared me with his lion toy. He roared at me and made me drop my wand. He is mean!" Mia cried. + +Mom hugged Mia and gave her a cookie. She said, "I'm sorry, Mia. Ben should not scare you like that. He was just playing, but he did not think about your feelings. I will talk to him and make him say sorry. Do you want to help me with the cookies? They are almost ready." + +Mia nodded. She liked cookies. She said, "Yes, Mom. I want to help you. Can I have another cookie?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Mia. You can have another cookie. There are plenty available. But first, let's wash your hands. And don't forget your wand. You are a very pretty fairy." +Tim and Tom were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many toys, but their favorite was a big barrel. They would roll it, hide in it, and pretend it was a ship or a car. + +One day, a new boy moved in next door. His name was Sam, and he had no toys. He saw Tim and Tom playing with the barrel and wanted to join them. He walked over and said, "Hello, can I play with you?" + +Tim and Tom looked at him and said, "No, this is our barrel. You can't play with it. Go away." They were mean to Sam and made him sad. + +Sam walked away and sat on his porch. He wished he had a friend and a toy. He saw a big smile on a truck that drove by. He thought, "Maybe I can smile too. Maybe that will make me happy." + +He tried to smile, but it was hard. He felt lonely and hurt. He looked at Tim and Tom again and saw them having fun with the barrel. He thought, "Maybe they will let me play if I smile at them. Maybe they will be nice to me." + +He got up and walked over to them again. He smiled and said, "Hello, can I play with you? I have no toys and I want a friend." + +Tim and Tom looked at him and saw his smile. They felt sorry for being mean to him. They thought, "Maybe he is not so bad. Maybe he can be our friend." + +They smiled back and said, "Sure, you can play with us. We have a big barrel. We can share it and have more fun." + +Sam was happy and thanked them. He joined them and they played with the barrel. They rolled it, hid in it, and pretended it was a ship or a car. They laughed and had a good time. + +They learned that sharing is caring, and that smiling is a good way to make friends. They became popular in the neighborhood, and everyone wanted to play with them and their barrel. +Tom and Sam were brothers who lived in a small house with their mom and dad. They liked to play outside, but they had to be careful of the big train that passed by their house every day. The train was loud and fast, and it carried coal to the city. + +One day, Tom and Sam saw a big pile of coal near the train tracks. They wanted to fill their pockets with coal, so they could make a fire at home. They ran to the pile and started to grab the black rocks. + +"Stop!" a voice shouted. It was the train driver. He was angry. "This coal is not for you. It is for the train. Go away or I will call the police!" + +Tom and Sam were scared. They dropped the coal and ran back to their house. They did not want to get in trouble. + +"Mom, dad, we are sorry!" they cried. "We tried to take some coal from the train, but the driver saw us and yelled at us. We were wrong. We should not have done that." + +Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "We are glad you are safe, but you should not have taken the coal. The coal belongs to the train, and the train needs it to run. Taking something that is not yours is bad. You should be humble and grateful for what you have." + +Tom and Sam nodded. They felt sorry for what they did. They learned their lesson. They never tried to take coal from the train again. They played with their toys and their friends, and they were happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big bowl under a tree. The bowl is cool and shiny. It has water and flowers in it. + +"Wow, look at this bowl!" Lily says. "It is so pretty. Can we play with it?" + +Ben nods. He likes the bowl too. He picks up a flower and smells it. It smells good. He gives it to Lily. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are nice," Lily says. She puts the flower in her hair. + +They take turns to dip their hands in the water. The water is cool and soft. They splash and giggle. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is calling them for lunch. + +"Come on, kids. It is time to eat. Wash your hands and come inside," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben do not want to leave the bowl. They want to play more. + +"Let's hide behind the tree," Ben whispers. "Maybe Mom will not see us." + +Lily agrees. They run behind the tree and crouch down. They hold their breath. + +But Mom is smart. She knows where they are. She walks to the tree and looks behind it. + +"Hello, there. What are you doing here?" Mom asks. + +Lily and Ben look up. They see Mom's face. She is smiling, but she is also serious. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We found this bowl and we wanted to play with it," Lily says. + +Mom nods. She sees the bowl. It is beautiful. She understands why they like it. + +"I see. The bowl is very nice. But it is not yours. It belongs to Mrs. Lee. She lives next door. She put it here for the birds and the bees. They need water and flowers too. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They feel bad. They did not know the bowl was for the birds and the bees. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to take it. Can we say sorry to Mrs. Lee?" Ben says. + +Mom smiles. She is proud of them. They are good kids. + +"Of course you can. Come on, let's go and see her. Maybe she will let you watch the birds and the bees. But first, you have to wash your hands and eat your lunch. Deal?" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben agree. They get up and follow Mom. They hold her hands. They are happy. They learned something new today. And they still have the bowl in their eyes. It is cool and shiny. It is a gift for the birds and the bees. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that they could ride in the garden. They took turns to drive the car and pretended to go on adventures. + +One day, their mom said, "I have a surprise for you. If you are good and help me with the chores, you will get a reward." Lily and Ben were curious and excited. They helped mom to tidy up their room, wash the dishes, and fold the laundry. They did not fight or whine. + +When they finished, mom said, "Well done, my darlings. You have earned your reward. Come with me to the garage." Lily and Ben followed mom eagerly. They wondered what the reward was. + +In the garage, they saw a big blue car next to their red car. It was shiny and new, and it had a big bow on it. Mom said, "This is your reward. It is a new car for you to share. Now you can both drive at the same time and have more fun." + +Lily and Ben were overjoyed. They hugged mom and thanked her. They ran to the blue car and climbed in. They started to drive around the garage, honking and laughing. They were very happy. + +But then they saw their neighbor, Sam, watching them from the fence. Sam had a small yellow car that was old and broken. He looked sad and envious. He said, "Wow, you have two cars. I wish I had one like yours." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for Sam. They remembered how much they liked their red car. They decided to be kind and generous. They stopped their cars and said, "Hey, Sam, do you want to play with us? You can have our red car. We don't need it anymore. We have a new blue car." + +Sam's face lit up. He said, "Really? You would give me your red car? Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He ran to the red car and got in. He smiled and waved at Lily and Ben. + +Lily and Ben smiled and waved back. They drove their blue car next to Sam's red car. They said, "Let's go on an adventure together. Where do you want to go?" + +Sam said, "How about the park? I heard there is a big slide there." + +Lily and Ben said, "Great idea. Let's go to the park." + +They drove out of the garage and headed to the park. They were very happy. They had a new car, a new friend, and a new adventure. They did not feel tired or bored. They did not yawn. They had the best reward ever. +Lily was a dog who loved to play. She had a ball, a bone, and a rope. But her favorite thing was her owner, Ben. Ben was a boy who took Lily for walks, gave her treats, and hugged her a lot. + +One day, Ben came home with a big box. He put it on the floor and said, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see?" Lily was excited. She wagged her tail and barked. She hoped it was a new toy or a yummy snack. + +Ben opened the box and lifted something out. It was a small, furry, and noisy thing. It had ears, eyes, a nose, and a mouth. It looked like a tiny dog, but it was not. It was a cat. Lily did not like cats. She thought they were mean and scary. + +Lily stared at the cat. The cat stared back. It hissed and showed its claws. Lily growled and showed her teeth. Ben said, "Lily, this is Fluffy. He is your new friend. He will live with us now. You have to be nice to him." + +Lily did not want a new friend. She wanted Ben to put the cat back in the box and take it away. She wanted Ben to play with her and hug her. She felt sad and angry. She did not understand why Ben brought a cat home. She did not like this surprise at all. +Sara liked to number her toys. She had a lot of toys, but she knew how many of each kind she had. She had five dolls, four cars, three balls, two books and one mint. The mint was her favorite toy. It was small and shiny and smelled good. She kept it in a special box under her bed. + +One day, Sara wanted to play with her mint. She went to her room and opened the box. But the mint was not there. Sara was very sad and angry. She looked everywhere for her mint. She asked her mom and dad and brother, but they did not know where it was. + +Then she saw her dog, Spot, in the corner. He was chewing something. Sara ran to him and saw that it was her mint. She shouted at him and tried to take it back. But Spot did not want to give it up. He growled and bit harder. Sara heard a crack. The mint was broken. It was fragile and could not stand Spot's teeth. + +Sara cried and cried. She loved her mint and now it was gone. Her mom and dad and brother came to see what was wrong. They hugged her and said they were sorry. They told her that Spot did not know that the mint was her toy. He thought it was a treat. They said they would buy her a new mint, or another toy that she liked. + +Sara stopped crying. She was still sad, but she knew that her family loved her. She also knew that Spot did not mean to hurt her. She forgave him and gave him a pat. She decided that she would number her toys again, but she would not keep them under her bed. She would put them in a safe place, where Spot could not reach them. She hoped that she would find another mint that was as shiny and smelly as her old one. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pond with many fish. They wanted to catch some fish for fun. They asked their dad to let them use his poles. Their dad said yes, but he told them to be careful and not go too close to the water. + +Ben and Lily took the poles and went to the pond. They threw the lines into the water and waited for the fish to bite. Ben was very impatient. He wanted to catch a big fish right away. He moved his pole around and made a lot of noise. Lily was more patient. She stayed still and quiet. She watched the water and the fish. + +Soon, Lily felt a tug on her line. She had caught a fish! She was very happy and proud. She showed Ben her fish. Ben was jealous. He wanted a fish too. He tried to pull his line harder and faster. But he was not careful. He slipped and fell into the pond. He was scared and wet. He cried for help. + +Lily heard Ben's cry. She dropped her fish and ran to help him. She reached out her pole and told Ben to grab it. Ben grabbed the pole and Lily pulled him out of the pond. Ben was safe but he was still crying. He was sorry for being jealous and careless. + +Their dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. He saw Ben and Lily and the fish. He hugged them and said he was glad they were okay. He said Lily was very helpful and brave. He said Ben was very lucky and should learn from his mistake. He said they should always be careful and kind to each other. Ben and Lily nodded and said they were sorry. They thanked their dad and Lily for helping them. They learned their lesson and became better twins. +Tom and Anna are going to the park with Mom. They want to have a picnic on the grass.

She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I don't know where your car is. Maybe you left it at home by mistake." + +Tom feels embarrassed. He thinks he packed his car, but maybe he didn't. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I thought I packed it. I must have forgotten it." + +Mom hugs him and says, "It's okay, Tom. Don't be embarrassed. It happens to everyone sometimes. You can play with your ball instead. Or you can share Anna's toys. She has her doll and her book." + +Anna hears them and says, "Yes, Tom. You can play with my toys. I don't mind. We can have fun together." + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I was angry. Can I see your doll?" + +Anna nods and says, "Sure, Tom. Here is my doll. Her name is Lily. She likes to have picnics on the grass too." + +Tom takes the doll and says, "Hello, Lily. I'm Tom. Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna says, "Yes, she does.

They thought baths were boring and cold and made them smell like soap. + +One day, their mom said, "Mia and Leo, it's time for your bath. You are very dirty and you need to wash up." + +Mia and Leo groaned and hid under the table. They said, "No, mom, we don't want a bath. We like to be dirty. Baths spoil our fun." + +Mom smiled and said, "I know you like to have fun, but you also need to be clean and healthy. Baths don't spoil your fun, they make you feel good and fresh. And I have a surprise for you. I bought some new soap that is mild and gentle and has a nice smell. It's not like the old soap that stings your eyes and makes you sneeze. Do you want to try it?" + +Mia and Leo peeked out from under the table and saw the new soap. It was pink and shaped like a flower. It smelled like strawberries. They felt curious and said, "OK, mom, we will try the new soap. But only for a little bit." + +Mom took them to the bathroom and filled the tub with warm water. She put some of the new soap in the water and made some bubbles. Mia and Leo got in the tub and played with the bubbles. They rubbed the soap on their skin and hair and smelled like strawberries. They laughed and splashed and had fun. + +Mom said, "See, baths are not so bad, are they? You can have fun and be clean at the same time. And you can still play outside tomorrow, as long as you take another bath after." + +Mia and Leo nodded and said, "Yes, mom, you are right. Baths are not so bad. We like the new soap. It is mild and nice. Thank you, mom." + +Mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my sweet twins. I love you very much." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big sack near the slide. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let me open it!" Tom said. + +"No, I saw it first!" Lily said. + +They began to quarrel and pull the sack from each other. They did not see a man watching them from behind a tree. + +The man was bad. He had put the sack there to trick the children. He wanted to take them away in his car. He had a deep voice and a mean face. + +He came out of his hiding place and grabbed the sack from Tom and Lily. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, you silly kids! This sack is mine! And so are you!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They screamed and kicked the man. They did not want to go with him. + +A lady who was walking her dog heard the noise and saw the man. She ran to help Tom and Lily. She shouted, "Stop! Leave those children alone!" + +The man was surprised and dropped the sack. He tried to run away, but the lady's dog chased him and bit his leg. The man cried and fell down. + +The lady called the police and they came quickly. They took the man away and thanked the lady and her dog. They opened the sack and found toys and candy inside.

I'm glad you're safe! But next time, don't quarrel over things you don't know. And don't talk to strangers!" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We're sorry. We learned our lesson. We will share and be careful!" + +They went home with their new toys and candy. They did not quarrel anymore. They played nicely and had fun. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals. Ben was a lion and Lily was a bird.

Do you want to see it?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and ran to the door. They saw a man standing outside. He had a weird face. He had a big nose, a long beard, and a hat with feathers.

He is very nice. He brought you some gifts. Do you want to see them?" + +Ben and Lily shook their heads. They did not want to see the gifts. They did not want to see the man. They said, "No, thank you. We want to play. We want him to leave." + +Their mom looked sad. She said, "I'm sorry, kids. He won't stay long. He just wants to meet you. He loves you. Can you be polite and say hi?" + +Ben and Lily did not want to be rude. They loved their mom. They peeked from behind her and said, "Hi, uncle Jack. Nice to meet you." + +Uncle Jack smiled and said, "Hi, Ben and Lily. Nice to meet you too. You are very cute. I'm sorry if I scared you. I don't mean to. I just like to dress like a pirate. It's fun.

Do you have a ship?" + +Uncle Jack nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I have a big ship. It's called the Black Pearl. Do you want to see it?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, we want to see it. Can we go with you?" + +Uncle Jack laughed and said, "Sure, you can. But only if your mom says yes. And only if you promise to be brave and have fun." + +Ben and Lily looked at their mom. She smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But only for a little while. And only if you promise to be careful and listen to your uncle." + +Ben and Lily agreed and said, "We promise. We promise." + +They took their uncle's hand and went to see his ship. They forgot about his weird face. They only saw his kind eyes. They had a lot of fun. They learned to say "Arrr" and "Yo-ho-ho".

They loved him. +Jazz is a cat who likes to go out and play. He runs and jumps and chases birds and mice. He has a lot of fun, but he also knows when to return.

There are also many other cats to meet and play with. + +Jazz likes the new place and the new cats. He forgets about his home and his name. He thinks he will stay here forever. He does not know that his home is looking for him. His home is sad and worried. His home misses him and wants him to return. + +But Jazz does not return. He stays in the new place for many days and nights. He plays and sleeps and eats with the new cats. He thinks he is happy, but he also feels something is missing. He does not know what it is. + +One night, he hears a sound. It is a familiar sound. It is his name. He hears his name from far away. He looks up and sees a light. It is a bright light.

They have dirt on their clothes, grass on their hair and mud on their faces. They look at each other and giggle. + +"That was the best slide ever!" Lily says. + +"Let's do it again!" Ben says. + +They get up and run back to the new slide. They slide again and again, until they are too tired and dirty to slide anymore. Then they go home with their mom, who gives them a big hug and a warm bath. They tell her all about their slide adventure and how much fun they had. They can't wait to go back to the park and slide some more. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big slide in the park. Lily and Tom want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Tom says. + +They run to the slide. Lily goes first. She sits on the slide and holds the sides.

The pine tree is very high. They see the sky and the clouds. + +"Maybe we can try." Lily says. + +"OK, but be careful." Tom says. + +They try to climb the pine tree. They hold the branches and the cones. They go up slowly. They feel the pine under their feet and hands. + +They climb higher and higher. They see the park and the slide.

They see a big road with many cars. They have to cross the road to get to the park. Ben says, "Let's race across the road. I will win!" + +Lily says, "No, Ben, that is not safe. We have to wait for the green light. The green light means go. The red light means stop. The cars have to stop too." + +Ben says, "But I want to race. I don't want to wait. I can be fast and cross the road before the cars come." + +Lily says, "No, Ben, that is not smart. The cars can be faster than you. They can hurt you. You have to be careful and look both ways. You have to hold my hand. We are friends. We have to help each other." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He sees the cars zooming by. He sees the red light and the green light. He sees Lily's hand.

The bottle has a skull and a cross on it. Tom says, "Look, Mia, what is this?" + +Mia says, "I don't know, Tom. Maybe it is juice. Can we drink it?" + +Tom says, "No, Mia, we can't. This is poison. Poison is bad. It can make us sick or die. We should not touch it. We should tell Mom." + +Mia says, "You are right, Tom. You are very thoughtful. Let's go and tell Mom." + +They run to the house and show Mom the bottle. Mom is shocked and angry. She says, "Where did you find this? This is very dangerous. You should never play with poison.

He tried to grab it from Lily. They started to fight over the pin. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the pin in their hands and the hole in the doll's dress. She was angry and scared. She took the pin away from them and told them it was dangerous. She said they could hurt themselves or each other with it. She said they should never play with pins or other sharp things. + +She put the pin in a distant drawer, where they could not reach it. She gave them a hug and told them to be careful and share their toys. She gave them some stickers and crayons to play with instead. Lily and Ben said they were sorry and thanked their mom. They forgot about the pin and started to draw and stick. They were happy again. +Lily was sad. She had a cold and her nose was runny. Mommy gave her a cup of juice and a small white thing. She said it was a pill and it would make her feel better. + +Lily did not like the pill. It was hard and bitter. She made a face and spit it out. Mommy was not happy. She said Lily had to take the pill or she would stay sick. + +Lily did not want to stay sick. She wanted to play with her toys and watch cartoons. She looked at the pill and the juice. She looked at Mommy. She decided to accept the pill. She put it in her mouth and drank the juice quickly. She swallowed hard and made a funny noise. + +Mommy smiled and hugged her. She said Lily was a brave girl. She gave her a pillow and a blanket and tucked her in the couch. She said Lily could rest and watch cartoons.

She had a doll and a tea set, and she wanted Ben to pretend to be her guest. + +"Ben, you have to sit here and drink your tea," she said, pointing to a chair. "And you have to say thank you and please and nice things." + +Ben did not like tea. He liked cars and trucks and planes. He had a toy car in his hand, and he wanted to zoom it around the room. + +"Anna, can I play with my car?" he asked. "I don't like tea. It's boring." + +"No, you can't," Anna said, frowning. "You have to play with me. It's my game and my rules. You have to do what I say." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like Anna's game and her rules. He wanted to have fun and play his own way. He wished he had someone else to play with. + +He looked out the window and saw the sun going down. He knew it was evening and soon it would be dark. He had an idea. + +"Anna, why don't we go outside and play?" he suggested. "It's still light and there are many things to see and do. We can run and jump and climb and explore." + +Anna thought for a moment. She liked to go outside and play, but she also liked to be the boss. She wondered if Ben would listen to her outside. + +"Okay, we can go outside and play," she agreed. "But you have to follow me and do what I say. I'm the leader and you're the follower. Got it?" + +Ben nodded. He did not care about being the leader or the follower. He just wanted to play with his car. He hoped Anna would forget about her game and her rules. + +They put on their shoes and jackets and went outside. Anna grabbed Ben's hand and pulled him along. She saw a big tree and decided to climb it. + +"Come on, Ben, let's climb this tree," she said. "It's fun and exciting. You have to try it." + +Ben did not want to climb the tree. He was afraid of heights and he did not like to get dirty. He wanted to play with his car on the ground. + +"Anna, can I play with my car?" he asked again. "I don't like to climb. It's scary and hard." + +"No, you can't," Anna said again. "You have to climb with me. It's my game and my rules. You have to do what I say." + +Ben felt sad and angry again. He did not like Anna's game and her rules. He wanted to have fun and play his own way. He wished he had someone else to play with. + +He looked around and saw a boy and a girl playing with cars and trucks and planes. They looked happy and friendly. They waved at him and smiled. + +"Hi, do you want to play with us?" they asked. "We have many toys and we like to share. You can choose what you want to play." + +Ben felt happy and curious. He wanted to play with them. He liked their toys and their smiles. He thought they would be nice to him. + +"Anna, can I play with them?" he asked. "They have cars and trucks and planes. They look fun and kind. They want to share." + +Anna looked at the boy and the girl. She did not like them. She did not like their toys and their smiles. She thought they would take Ben away from her. + +"No, you can't," Anna said for the last time. "You have to play with me. It's my game and my rules. You have to do what I say." + +Ben had enough. He did not want to play with Anna anymore. He wanted to play with the boy and the girl. He wanted to be free and happy. + +He let go of Anna's hand and ran to the boy and the girl. He said hello and thank you and nice things. He picked a toy and zoomed it around the yard. He had fun and played his own way. + +Anna was left alone on the tree. She felt sad and angry. She did not have anyone to play with. She did not have anyone to boss around. She wished she had been nicer to Ben. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big rose bush with many red flowers. Anna wanted to touch the roses. She said to Ben, "Look, how pretty! Can I touch them?" + +Ben shook his head. He said, "No, Anna, don't touch them. They have sharp things that can hurt you. They are called thorns. They can make you bleed." + +Anna did not listen to Ben. She thought he was just scared. She said, "I don't care. I want to touch them. They are soft and smell good." She reached out her hand and touched a rose. + +But she felt a sharp pain in her finger. She cried out, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" She pulled back her hand and saw blood. She had touched a thorn. She was very sad and scared. + +Ben ran to her and tried to help her. He said, "I told you not to touch them, Anna. You were not careful. Now you are hurt. Come, let me get a band-aid for you." + +But Anna was too upset. She pushed him away and ran to the house. She wanted her mom. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She did not like roses anymore. She was very angry and sorry. She wished she had listened to Ben. +Sara and Tom are going to the zoo with Mom and Dad.

He dropped it. Can you help me find him?" + +The zoo worker looks at the ticket. He looks at Sara. He smiles. He says, "Sure, I can help you. What does Tom look like?" + +Sara tells him. She says, "Tom is my brother. He is four years old. He has brown hair and blue eyes. He is wearing a red shirt and blue jeans. He has a zebra on his ticket." + +The zoo worker nods. He says, "OK, let's go find him. Maybe he is near the zebra enclosure. Come with me." + +He takes Sara by the hand. He walks with her to the zebra enclosure. He looks for Tom. He sees him. He points to him. He says, "There he is. He is with your Mom and Dad. Do you see him?" + +Sara sees him. She is happy. She says, "Yes, I see him. Thank you for helping me.

"But I want some chocolate first." + +He took a big bar of chocolate from his bag and broke it in half. He gave one half to Lily and kept the other half for himself. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind," Lily said. She ate some chocolate and started to work on the puzzle. + +Ben ate some chocolate too, but he did not work on the puzzle. He watched Lily work and waited for her to finish. He wanted to see the picture, but he did not want to help. + +Lily worked hard and fast. She found the right pieces and put them together. She was almost done. She only needed one more piece to complete the puzzle. + +"Ben, can you give me the last piece?" she asked. "It is in your side of the box." + +Ben looked at the box and saw the last piece. It was a big piece with a lot of chocolate on it. He liked chocolate. He did not want to give it to Lily. + +"No, I want to keep it," he said. "It is mine." + +"But we need it to complete the puzzle," Lily said. "Please, Ben, be kind and share." + +"No, no, no," Ben said. He put the piece in his mouth and ate it. He smiled and licked his lips. + +Lily was very sad and angry. She could not complete the puzzle. She could not see the picture. She had no more chocolate. She had no more friend. + +She cried and cried. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She did not like him. He was not kind. He was mean. + +The end. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play cowboys and robbers. They had hats, scarves and pistols made of wood. They ran around the yard, shouting and shooting at each other. Sometimes they hid behind the trees or the fence. + +One day, they saw a big truck parked outside their house. It had a sign that said "Moving". They wondered who was moving in. They decided to sneak up and see. They crept behind the truck and peeked inside. They saw boxes, furniture and toys. They saw a big teddy bear, a train set and a bike. + +"Wow, look at all the stuff!" Tom said. + +"Maybe they have a kid our age," Sam said. + +"Maybe he can play with us," Tom said. + +They heard a voice behind them. "Hey, what are you doing?" It was a boy, about their size, with curly hair and glasses. He was holding a pistol, too. + +"We're just looking," Tom said. + +"Who are you?" the boy asked. + +"We're Tom and Sam. We live next door. Who are you?" Sam asked. + +"I'm Ben. I just moved here with my mom and dad. This is my stuff," Ben said. + +He pointed his pistol at them. "Do you want to play cowboys and robbers?" he asked. + +Tom and Sam smiled. They liked Ben. They nodded. "Sure, we do," they said. + +They ran out of the truck and started to play.

Then they sat on the grass and shared their snacks. + +They became friends. They played every day. They were happy. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. They have fun in every season. In summer, they are hot and drink water. In fall, they jump in the leaves and laugh. In winter, they make snowmen and throw snowballs. In spring, they pick flowers and chase butterflies. + +One day, Tom and Jen go to the park. But the park is empty. There are no other kids. There are no swings or slides or flowers. There is only dirt and trash and broken things. Tom and Jen are sad and scared. They wonder what happened to the park. + +They see a big man with a big truck. The man is angry and mean. He says he owns the park. He says he wants to build a big house. He says he does not care about kids or fun or seasons. He says he only cares about money. He says he will gain a lot of money from his big house. + +Tom and Jen are mad and brave. They say the park is for everyone. They say the park is for playing and learning and growing. They say the park is for summer and fall and winter and spring. They say the man is wrong and greedy and selfish. + +The man does not listen. He laughs and yells. He starts his truck and drives towards Tom and Jen. He wants to scare them away. He wants to destroy the park. He does not see the big hole in the ground. He does not see the big rock in the hole. He drives into the hole and hits the rock. His truck breaks and flips. He is hurt and stuck. He cries and screams. + +Tom and Jen run away. They are safe but sad. They lose their park. They lose their fun. They lose their seasons. They wish the man was nice and fair and kind. They wish the park was full and happy and beautiful. They wish they could play in the park again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. But today it is raining. They are sad. + +"Can we go to the park when it stops raining?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe. But we have no money for the bus," Ben says. + +They look at their piggy banks. They are empty. They have spent all their money on candy and toys. + +They wish they had more money. They think of ways to get money. + +"I know! We can sell our old books and clothes," Anna says. + +"Good idea! Let's do that," Ben says. + +They gather their things and go outside.

Anna says. + +"That's ours! Drop it!" Ben says. + +The dog does not listen. He runs faster. He goes to a house. He goes inside. + +Anna and Ben follow him. They knock on the door. A lady opens it. She sees the dog. She sees the book. + +"Hello. Is this your dog?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, this is Spot. He's very naughty. He likes to take things. I'm sorry. Is this your book?" the lady says. + +"Yes, it is. We were selling it. We need money for the bus. Can we have it back?" Ben says. + +"Of course. Here you go. I'm sorry he took it. He didn't mean to. He's just curious. He likes to read," the lady says. + +She gives them back their book. She also gives them a cookie. She is kind. + +"Thank you. You are very nice. Do you want to buy our book?"

And your candy and toys," the lady says. + +She waves goodbye. They wave back. They thank her again. They leave with their money and their cookie. They go to the bus stop. They wait for the bus. + +The rain stops. The sun comes out. They smile. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. Anna has many colorful blocks. She has red and blue and yellow and green. Ben has only brown blocks. He wants some colorful blocks too. + +"Can I have some of your blocks, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"No, they are mine. You have your own blocks," Anna says. + +"But your blocks are so pretty. My blocks are boring. Please, Anna, can I have some?" Ben begs. + +"No, no, no. Go away, Ben. You are not my friend," Anna says. She pushes Ben away. + +Ben is sad and angry. He does not like Anna. He thinks she is mean and selfish. He wants to make her sorry. He sees a big ball on the floor. He picks it up and throws it at Anna's tower. The ball hits the tower and makes a loud sound. The tower falls down and the blocks scatter everywhere. + +"Hey, what are you doing? You broke my tower!" Anna shouts. + +"I don't care. You are a bad girl. You don't share your blocks. You deserve it," Ben says. + +Anna starts to cry. She does not like Ben. She thinks he is rude and nasty. She wants to make him sorry. She sees a book on the shelf. She grabs it and hits Ben on the head. The book makes a hard sound. Ben feels pain and starts to cry too. + +"Ow, ow, ow. Why did you hit me? You are a mean girl. You hurt me," Ben says. + +"I don't care. You are a bad boy. You broke my tower. You deserve it," Anna says. + +They both cry and scream. They do not seem to like each other. They do not seem to have fun. They do not seem to be friends. +Tom was a clumsy farmer. He had a big red truck that he used to take his cows to the market.

His cows flew out of the truck and landed on the ground. They were hurt and scared. They ran away from the truck. + +Tom was also hurt. He had a big cut on his head and his arm was broken. He tried to get out of the truck, but he was stuck. He saw a man coming on a bike. He hoped the man would help him. But the man was not a good man. He was a thief. He saw Tom's truck and his cows. He smiled a mean smile. He did not care about Tom. He only wanted his cows. He took a rope and tied the cows to his bike. He rode away with the cows, leaving Tom alone in the truck. + +Tom was very sad and angry. He lost his truck and his cows and his money. He did not know how he would fix his truck and his arm and his farm. He wished he was not so clumsy. He wished he had checked his truck well. He wished he had seen the hole in the road. He wished he had met a good man, not a thief. He wished he had a happy ending, not a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were playing in the sand. They had a spade and a bucket. They wanted to make a big castle. + +"Can I use the spade?" Ben asked. + +"OK, but mind the water. It can wash away our castle," Lily said. + +Ben took the spade and dug some sand.

Their nuts fell to the ground and rolled away. Some other animals saw the nuts and ran to get them. Lily and Tom were very angry and scared. They tried to stop them, but they were too late. + +"Hey, those are our nuts! Give them back!" Lily shouted. + +"Sorry, we are hungry too. You have too many nuts. You should share them with others," a rabbit said. + +"No, they are ours! We worked hard to get them!" Tom said. + +But the other animals did not listen. They took the nuts and ate them. Some of the nuts were rotten and spoiled. They had worms and bugs in them. The animals who ate them felt sick and spit them out. + +"Yuck, these nuts are bad! How can you eat them?" a bird said. + +Lily and Tom felt embarrassed and ashamed. They realized that they had been foolish and greedy. They had wasted their nuts and made themselves and others unhappy. + +They decided to change their ways. They apologized to the other animals and promised to share their nuts in the future. They also learned to check their nuts for worms and bugs before storing them. They became more friendly and generous. They made many new friends and had a happier winter. +Tom and Mia are young. They like to play on the beach. They have a big boat. They want to go to the island. They ask Mom and Dad. + +Mom and Dad say yes. They help Tom and Mia get on the boat.

It was juicy and sweet. + +"Tommy, what are you doing?" Mommy asked. She came to the table. She saw Tommy on the chair with the apple. + +"I got an apple, Mommy!" Tommy said. He showed her the apple. + +Mommy was not happy. She was worried. She took Tommy off the chair. She put him on the floor. + +"Tommy, you should not climb on the chair.

It is a coin. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara says. "It is a nice coin. Maybe we can buy some candy with it." + +She reaches her hand into the hole to get the coin. But the hole is too deep and her hand gets stuck. + +"Help, help!" Sara cries. "I can't get my hand out!" + +Ben tries to pull her hand, but it does not work.

They dug and dug. They were sad. + +Then they saw a boy. He had their bucket and shovel. He was playing with them. He did not know they were Tim and Mia's. He was unknown. + +Tim and Mia ran to the boy. They said, "Those are ours! Give them back!" The boy was surprised. He said, "Sorry, I did not know. Here you go."

It was a big metal thing with a pointy end and a round part. + +"What is that?" Ben asked. + +"It is an anchor," Lily said. "It is for boats. They use it to stop in the water." + +"Wow, it is so cool!" Ben said. "Can I see it?" + +Lily gave him the anchor. He held it and looked at it. It was rusty and dirty. He rubbed it with his hand, but it did not get cleaner. + +"Maybe we can polish it," he said. "Then it will be shiny and pretty." + +"How do we polish it?" Lily asked. + +Ben thought for a moment. He saw a lemonade stand nearby. He had some coins in his pocket. He had an idea. + +"Come on, let's go there," he said. He took Lily's hand and the anchor and ran to the stand. + +"Hello, can we have some lemonade, please?" he asked the boy who was selling it. + +"Sure, that will be one coin for each cup," the boy said. + +Ben gave him two coins and took two cups. He poured some lemonade on the anchor and rubbed it with a napkin. He hoped it would make it shiny. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" the boy asked. "That is my lemonade! You are wasting it!" + +"No, we are not," Ben said. "We are polishing our anchor. It is very old and cheap. We want to make it nice." + +The boy looked at the anchor. He did not think it was nice. He thought it was junk. + +"That is not an anchor, that is a piece of scrap metal," he said. "You can't polish it with lemonade. You need something stronger, like vinegar or soap." + +"Really?" Ben asked. He did not know what vinegar or soap were. He only knew lemonade. + +"Yes, really," the boy said. "But I don't have any of those. You can keep your anchor, but don't use my lemonade again. It is for drinking, not for cleaning." + +Ben and Lily felt sad. They wanted to polish their anchor, but they did not have the right things. They took their anchor and went back to the beach. They decided to bury it in the sand and pretend it was a treasure. They had fun playing with it, even if it was not shiny. They liked their anchor, even if it was old and cheap. +Sara and Tom are playing in the garden. They see a small mouse run under a bush. Sara wants to catch the mouse.

Let me clean your finger and put a band-aid on it. It will feel better soon." + +Mom washes Sara's finger and puts a band-aid on it. She kisses Sara and says, "There you go, Sara. You are brave and strong. Do you want a piece of cake? It is orange and yummy." + +Sara smiles and says, "Yes, please, Mom. Thank you. Can Tom have a piece too?" + +Mom says, "Of course, Tom can have a piece too. He is a good friend and he helped you.

Come back home now!" + +But Sarah was feeling very brave and thought she could take the risk. She walked closer and closer to the cake and finally she grabbed it. + +Suddenly, a big bee flew out of the cake! It was very angry and started to sting Sarah. + +Sarah's mom was right! It was a dangerous dessert.

Smoke and loud noises came from the stove and the girl became scared and started to run away. + +But when she was halfway across the room, she heard a sound: "It's getting hot, be careful!" + +The girl was confused and unaware that the stove was getting hotter and hotter. She didn't know the stove could do that. + +Then it was too late. The stove burst into flames and the girl was badly burned. She was rushed to the hospital and never returned. + +By the time the adults knew what had happened, it was too late. The girl had been so close to safety, but her curiosity got the best of her. Unfortunately, the consequences were too devastating. +Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to jump. She jumped high in the sky, she jumped low on the ground, and she even jumped over obstacles. + +One day, she was jumping through the woods when she noticed something in the far distance. It was a big watch, shimmering in the sunlight. She stopped jumping and said "What should I do? I want to get it!" + +Suddenly, a voice behind her said, "Wait! You must jump over those logs first." She turned around and saw a friendly rabbit. His nose was twitching and he said, "If you can jump over these logs, you can get the watch in the distant field." + +The little girl smiled, then with all her might, she jumped over the logs and ran towards the distant field. When she got there, she was so happy to find the watch. She grabbed it and ran all the way home. + +The End. +Once upon a time there was a boy who loved to play. He wanted to play with a tube, so he snuck one from his big brother's room. He was grateful to have the tube, and quickly ran outside to play with it. He swung the tube in a big circle and the wind made it go so fast he could hardly see it. When it came back around to him he tried to catch it, but it hit his arm and stung. + +The boy started to cry, because it really hurt. He tried to hide the tube and get away, but his brother had seen the whole thing. His brother was angry and came running towards him, and then he struck the tube from the boys hand to the ground. The tube broke apart, and the boy was so sad. He wanted to keep playing but the broken tube was of no use to him now. + +The boy was grateful he didn't get in too much trouble, but he was still really sad. He wished he hadn't been so foolish and snuck the tube out of his brother's room. It was a bad ending, but this story taught him a valuable lesson. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Jenny. She was three years old and loved to decorate. Every single day she would find something new to decorate in her house. + +One day, Jenny's mom told her a funny story about a hidden poem. Jenny got very excited about this and decided that she wanted to decorate it. She went straight to her room and started to think of the best way to decorate it. + +Jenny's mom came into her room with a big smile on her face. + +"What are you up to?" she asked. + +Jenny told her mom all her plans and her mom said, "Sounds like a great plan, Jenny! Let's get decorating!" + +So, Jenny and her mom got to work. They hung up strings of colourful paper and ribbon around the poem, and they added glittery stars and sparkles. When they finished, the poem looked so beautiful. + +But when Jenny stepped back, she noticed something. There was a secret message hidden in the decorating! It said, "You are the most creative decorator ever!" + +Jenny smiled big and hugged her mom. She was so proud of her decorated poem! +Once upon a time there was a boy. He wanted to see something special. He stood beside the window and looked outside. Suddenly, he saw a heavy balloon in the sky. +It was so high and he wanted to reach it. But he knew that he was too small. He felt sad. +Then his mum came in. She said to the boy “What do you want, honey?†+The little boy said “I want that balloon up there.†His mum smiled and said “Honey, it’s too high for you. Maybe it will come closer one day.†+ +The boy looked at his mum and said “Ok, I’ll wait.†Then he went outside and waited for the heavy balloon to come closer. +Once upon a time, there was a mommy who had a little boy named Tony. Tony was a very naughty boy and everyday he broke rules and made his mommy very frustrated. One day, Tony's mommy had enough. She looked Tony in the eye and said sternly, "Tony, you must stop being so naughty or else you will be punished!" + +Tony didn't like to listen and he just stuck out his tongue and continued to do what he wanted. His mommy was very angry, but she kept her cool. She said, "Tony, here is my mustache. As long as it is on my face, that means that I will not punish you. However, if I take it off, you will be in big trouble." + +Tony looked confused but he nodded. He couldn't understand what his mommy was talking about. He tried to stay on his best behaviour, but eventually he forgot. He played and made noise even past bedtime. But his mommy never looked angry. + +The next day, when Tony got to school, he saw that all the other kids had on nice, freshly trimmed mustaches. Tony stopped and looked closer. Slowly, he realized that his mommy kept her promise. Every time he misbehaved, she had taken off her mustache and punished him. Tony was very ashamed, but also he was proud that his mommy kept her promise. + +The end. +One day, Peter was feeling excited. He wanted to find something to do. He decided to go for a walk and see what he could find. +He looked around, but he couldn't see anything interesting. But then he saw an open door leading to a large room. +Peter walked up to the door and peaked inside. It looked like a lot of fun. He wanted to go in! +But when he tried to open the door, it wouldn't move. He started to feel sad and frustrated. +Just then, Peter heard a voice. +"Why don't you try pushing the door harder?" +It was his mom! She had been right behind him the whole time. +Peter was excited, and he pushed the door open. Inside the room was a big play area with lots of toys! Peter was so happy and he ran inside to start playing. + +Mom smiled, happy to see Peter so excited and full of joy. Peter had learned an important lesson that day, that with a bit of effort and help, anything can be made possible. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. She liked to play outside but it was too cold. So she went inside and found a shoe. She thought it was fun, so she threw it. But then it landed under the couch and she couldn't reach it. She was very sad. + +Her mom saw her so she asked what was wrong. The little girl said that she threw the shoe, but now it was stuck. Her mom knew just what to do. She gave the little girl a ladder and the little girl used it to get the shoe. She was so happy that she hugged her mom and thanked her. + +The little girl was very proud and she threw the shoe into the air again, up and over her head. But it was so cold and the girl was getting sleepy so she decided to put the shoe away. She went to bed, happy and warm. + +The End. +Once upon a time, there was a bunny called Jack. One day Jack was feeling generous, so he went outside and he hopped around the garden. He saw a beautiful flower and he hopped over to it. Suddenly he noticed a bottle of ink with a bright blue bow around it. + +Jack was very curious and he hopped over to take a closer look. He noticed that it was a magic ink bottle; it sparkled and twinkled in the sunshine. He opened the bottle and the ink came out and covered Jack all over. + +“Oh no!†said Jack. “What am I going to do now?†+ +Sadly, the ink had caused Jack to turn into a blue bunny, and he couldn’t hop as well anymore. Everyone was very sad and no one knew how to help. Jack was very sad too and wished he never found the ink in the first place. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was a cute little girl who loved to explore new places. One day, she and her mom decided they wanted to find a special place where they could be alone. They asked around until they found a place that was perfect. + +The girl and her mom had an exciting time exploring the place. As they looked around, the girl noticed something special - a door with an amazing handle. She wanted to know what was on the other side, but her mom said it was separate, and they couldn't open it. + +The girl was disappointed, but she and her mom had fun anyway. They laughed and talked, and the girl tried not to think about the door. + +The next day, the girl's mom said they would be opening the door! The girl was excited and couldn't wait to see what was on the other side. When they opened it, the girl saw the most wonderful thing ever - a room full of colorful toys! She couldn't believe it - the place was even better than she thought. + +The girl was so happy. She was glad her mom decided to separate the door this time so they could explore a new place, and find something really cute. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Sarah. She was three years old and loved to explore the garden. + +As Sarah walked around she noticed an attractive shadow on the ground. She slowly approached it, but it suddenly started to move away. She was curious and wanted to find out what the shadow was. + +Sarah followed it, but the shadow kept on running away and ignored her. Sarah started to get frustrated and shouted, "Hey! Come back!" + +The shadow then stopped and turned around to face her. It was an equally attractive little kitten, which stood there and meowed. + +Sarah smiled, scooped the kitten up in her arms, and said, "It's ok, I won't ignore you anymore!" +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Emma. Emma was so excited to go to the park with her mummy and daddy. When they arrived, Emma saw lots of amazing things. She spotted a big, green object that she wanted to try. + +Mummy told her it was a blanket and said she could fold it into a football shape. Emma smiled and started folding away. But then Emma's brother, Justin, arrived. He was being very selfish. + +Justin said: "That's mine, Emma! I was here first so it's mine". +Mummy said: "No, Justin. Everyone is allowed to use it. There's plenty of room for both of you." + +Justin thought for a moment. Finally, he agreed and he and Emma folded the object together. They had an awesome time playing with it in the park and had lots of fun! +One day, two friends, Jack and Jill, were in the park. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. + +Suddenly, the sky began to get dark and thunder echoed in the distance. Jack and Jill looked at each other and Jack said, "Oh no! It looks like the rain is coming." + +Jill shrugged and said, "It's okay, it's only a little thunder. There won't be too much rain." + +But, as soon as she said that, the thunder got louder and the sky became as black as ink. "Oh no!" cried Jill. "I think we should find somewhere dry to wait for the rain to stop." + +Jack shook his head. He felt guilty because he knew that Jill was right. He should have listened to her. Now they were both stuck in the rain. + +The thunder and lightning became even more intense. Jill and Jack quickly ran home. Jack kept thinking the whole way home how he should have listened in the first place. + +When they finally arrived at home, they were both soaked. Jill shook her head and said, "I told you we should have stayed out of the rain." Jack just quietly nodded and they both continued on inside. +Once there was a little boy named John. He liked playing with his scooter outside. Today, he went out to play with his scooter in the park. + +John was having a lot of fun when he saw that someone else was riding a scooter too. He went to take a closer look and saw that it was his friend, Mary. They waved at each other and Mary said “Hi!†+ +John asked Mary if he could ride the scooter and she said yes. He got onto the scooter and started to ride it around the park. John was having a great time when he hit a bump and the scooter fell over. He looked at it and saw it was all dirty. + +John started to cry. Mary came over and said to him “Why are you crying?†He said “I made a mess on your scooter. It’s not clean anymore.†+ +Mary calmed John down and said “That’s okay. We can just watch it while I clean it.†She started cleaning the scooter and John watched her. She was soon done and the scooter was clean. + +John smiled and thanked Mary. They rode their scooters around the park together. John had a lot of fun and knew that everything was going to be okay. +Once upon a time there was a boy called Joe. Joe was a curious three year old and he loved going on adventures. + +One day, Joe and his Dad went into the garage. Joe's Dad said, "I am going to show you a special thing, Joe". Joe was excited! His Dad turned on a machine that made a funny noise. "What is this thing?" asked Joe. "It's called a recorder. It can record sounds, and make them smooth," explained his Dad. + +Joe was curious and very excited to try out the recorder. He wanted to make his own recording. His Dad smiled and said, "Let's try something, Joe!" Joe also smiled and he was ready to go. + +They worked together to record some bird noises from the garden. Joe was so amazed how the recorder made the noises smooth. He had a lot of fun with his Dad that day. + +Joe recorded the sounds of his special adventure in the garage and he still remembers it to this day! +Once upon a time, there was a small rabbit. The rabbit was very smooth with short, brown fur. + +One day, the rabbit saw a boy and the rabbit hopped over to him. + +"Can you give me something to eat?" the rabbit asked. + +The little boy smiled and said, "Of course!" He reached into his pocket and he pulled out a carrot. + +The rabbit was so happy. He said, "Thank you!" + +Then the boy said, "You're welcome. Anything else you would like?" + +The rabbit thought for a moment and then said, "Yes! Can you give me a hug?" + +The little boy smiled and then he gave the rabbit a big hug. After the hug, the rabbit hopped away with a smile. +Sina was playing in the park when she saw a cute hose. She thought it was a perfect match for her wagon. She walked over to take a closer look and then heard a voice. "That's my hose and it doesn't match your wagon," said the voice. Sina looked up and saw Teddy, a boy her age. + +"No, it matches perfectly," Sina argued. She reached out and grabbed the hose and placed it in the wagon. She smiled and said, "See? It fits perfectly." + +Teddy shook his head, "That's not right. It's my hose, so it doesn't match yours." + +Sina crossed her arms and replied, "But I already put it in, so it does match now." + +Teddy didn't know what to say. They both just stood there for a few moments until Teddy finally agreed to let Sina keep the hose. He smiled and said, "Okay, I guess it does match your wagon." + +"Yay!" said Sina. She put the hose in her wagon and went off to continue her game in the park. +Once upon a time, there was a furry caterpillar named Carl. He liked to wander around in the garden, exploring every inch. Every day he learned something new, whether it was how to find the sun, or how to find food. + +One day, Carl decided he wanted to learn the fastest way to get around the garden. He tried walking, and it was very slow. Then he tried crawling, but that wasn't very fast either. He thought and thought, and he finally came up with an idea. + +"I'll try flying!" he said. + +Carl spread out his wings and flapped as hard as he could. Sure enough, he was able to zip around the garden. He was so proud of himself. + +At the end of the day, Carl was awarded a special prize for learning how to fly. It was a shiny medal, just for him. Carl looked at it with wonder and wore it with pride. He'd never been so proud of himself. +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Lola and Paul. They were playing with a toy model car outside in the park. + +Lola was so excited to show her friend the car, but Paul didn't like it one bit. He said it was disgusting and he didn't want to play with it. + +Lola looked very sad and said to Paul, "Why don't you like it? Don't you want to stretch your imagination?" + +Paul thought about it for a minute, and then he realised he was wrong. He realised it was fun to pretend and use his imagination. He said sorry to Lola and they had lots of fun playing with the car. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to stretch your imagination and try new things. Don't judge something just by its looks, because you might be surprised and enjoy it! +Once upon a time, there was an oven. It was shiny and new, and it looked very fancy. One day, someone set the oven. + +The oven was hot and smooth. Everybody in the house could feel the heat coming from it. + +The oven was set for baking.

"Can I try to throw something around, mummy?" he asked. + +Mama laughed. "No, sweetheart, it's too dangerous. Hurricanes are just too powerful." + +Timmy thought for a moment then smiled up at mama. "Maybe we can throw things around inside instead?" + +Mama smiled and hugged Timmy. "We can do that; a game of indoor toss would be fun!" + +So mama and Timmy had a fun game of throwing balls back and forth in the house. All the while, they marveled at the power of the hurricane outside. +Jim was a young boy. Everyone at school said he was tough. One day his dad said, "Jim, I send you to school today." Jim felt excited and scared at the same time. + +At school, Jim was asked to take a big test. He tried hard, but he couldn't get all the answers right. His teacher said, "Jim, why don't you try harder." Jim knew he tried hard but it was too tough. + +When Jim got home, his dad said, "Jim, why did you not do well on the test?" Jim wanted to tell his dad he tried hard, but he was afraid.

Even if it is difficult, telling the truth is always the right thing to do. +One day, a small girl named Ella went to the park. She saw a group of staff members playing a game. Ella wanted to join in, but they ignored her. Ella felt very sad and turned away. + +She walked around the park but couldn’t find anyone else to play with. Ella sat down and started crying.

He asked his mom for a lollipop all day long. His mom said no, but Tom was very persistent. + +Tom's mom said, "It's not a good idea to eat lollipops all the time.

And you have to brush your teeth right after!" + +Tom smiled and said, "Thank you!" He grabbed the lollipop and happily ate it. + +But Tom was very persistent.

He was too sick to go to work or even walk. He had to stay in bed and sleep all day. + +The lawman's friends worried about him. They made sure he had all the blue blankets he needed to stay warm.

The rabbit looked around and was feeling a little bit lonely. + +Then, from up above in the tall tree, a wise old owl saw the rabbit. He flew down from the tree and explained to the rabbit that the creek flowed from a lake far away.

Match me three times and then you can pick any book you want". + +So they played the game and the boy matched the monster three times.

His father had very strong shoulders and Sammy loved to sit on them when his dad walked around. + +Sammy was feeling very inspired. He was really looking forward to his artwork turning out well.

He thought that the lake he painted was just as charming as the one he had seen. + +Little did Sammy know that his painting would soon come true. A week later, his father took him to the same lake he had painted. When Sammy saw it, his eyes lit up. He couldn't believe that his painting had come to life right in front of him. +Once upon a time, there was a poor family who lived in a small house. They had a special machine that could print post.

The old man opened the cage, but something strange happened. Instead of a bird, out came a large butterfly that fluttered away in an instant. + +The old man started to grin but then his face suddenly grew angry. He raised his arm and waved it, signalling for the children to go away.
