She does not have time for this. + +"Listen, kids. The gray car is for both of you. You have to take turns and be nice. How about this: Lily, you can zoom the car for five minutes, then you give it to Max. Max, you can zoom the car for five minutes, then you give it back to Lily. OK?" + +Lily and Max think about it. They do not want to fight anymore. They want to play with the gray car. + +"OK, Mom," they say. + +Mom smiles. She gives them a hug and a kiss. She sets a timer for five minutes. + +"Have fun, kids.

They are sweet and juicy." + +Ben nods and runs to the tree. He tries to reach an apple, but it is too high. He says, "Sara, help me. I can't get it." + +Sara finds a stick on the ground. She says, "Here, Ben, use this. You can cut the apple with the stick." + +Ben takes the stick and pokes the apple. The apple falls to the ground. Ben picks it up and says, "Thank you, Sara. You are smart and kind." + +Sara smiles and says, "You're welcome, Ben. You are brave and strong." + +They share the apple and eat it. They say, "Mmm, this is a good apple. It is sweet and crunchy." + +They are happy and hug each other. They say, "We are good friends. We like to play and share." +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big lizard on a rock. It was green and brown and had a long tail. + +"Wow, look at that lizard!" Tim said. "It is so cool. I want to touch it." + +"No, Tim, don't touch it!" Lily said. "It might bite you. It might be a bad lizard." + +"Ha, you are stupid, Lily. It is just a lizard. It will not bite me. It will be my friend." Tim said. He walked towards the lizard. + +Lily was scared. She did not want Tim to get hurt. She tried to stop him. "Tim, please, listen to me. Let's play with something else. I suggest we play with the ball. The ball is fun and safe." She said. + +But Tim did not listen to Lily. He did not care about the ball. He wanted to touch the lizard. He reached out his hand and touched the lizard's back. + +The lizard did not like that. It was angry and scared. It turned around and opened its mouth. It had sharp teeth. It bit Tim's finger. + +Tim screamed. He felt a lot of pain. He let go of the lizard and ran back to Lily. He cried and cried. His finger was bleeding. + +Lily felt sorry for Tim. She hugged him and tried to calm him down. She said, "I told you not to touch the lizard. It was a bad idea. You should have listened to me. You should have played with the ball." + +Tim was sad and sorry. He said, "You were right, Lily. I was stupid. I should have listened to you. I should have played with the ball. I don't like lizards anymore. They are mean and hurtful." + +Lily said, "It's okay, Tim. We can go inside and get a band-aid. Maybe Mom can make you feel better. Maybe next time you will be more careful and listen to me." + +They went inside and told Mom what happened. Mom was not happy. She said, "Tim, you were very naughty. You did not listen to Lily. You did not listen to me. I told you not to touch the lizards. They are wild animals. They can be dangerous. You could have gotten sick or worse. You are lucky it was not a poisonous lizard. You need to learn your lesson. You are grounded for a week. No more playing in the garden. No more playing with lizards. Do you understand?" + +Tim nodded. He understood. He was very sorry. He wished he had never touched the lizard. He wished he had played with the ball. He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had not been stupid. He learned his lesson. He never touched a lizard again. +Lily likes to write poems. She writes poems about her cat, her toys, and her friends. She likes to make the words rhyme and sound nice. She thinks poems are fun and pretty. + +One day, her teacher says there is a poem contest at school. The best poem will win a big prize. Lily is happy and excited. She wants to win the prize. She works hard on her poem. She writes about her favorite things. She thinks her poem is the best. + +The next day, she goes to school with her poem. She gives it to her teacher. She waits for the contest to start. She sees many other kids with their poems. Some of them look long and hard. Some of them have big words and pictures. Lily feels a little scared. She hopes her poem is good enough. + +The teacher reads the poems one by one. She says nice things about each one. She says they are all creative and clever. Lily listens and claps for the other kids. She waits for her turn. She wants to hear her poem and see the prize. + +Finally, the teacher reads Lily's poem. She says it is short and simple. She says it is cute and sweet. She says it is not very original or interesting. She says it is not a winner. She gives Lily a sticker and a smile. She says better luck next time. She gives the prize to another kid. The other kid has a long and hard poem. The other kid has big words and pictures. The other kid is popular and happy. Lily is not. + +Lily feels sad and angry. She does not like her sticker or her smile. She does not like her poem or her teacher. She does not like the other kid or the prize. She thinks the contest is not fair. She thinks poems are not fun and pretty. She thinks poems are bad and ugly. She tears up her poem and throws it away. She does not want to write poems ever again. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play cops and robbers. Tom is the cop and Sam is the robber. Tom catches Sam and puts him in jail. Jail is a big box with bars. Sam does not like jail. He wants to escape. + +"Let me out, Tom!" Sam says. "This is not fair!" + +"No, Sam, you are a bad robber. You have to stay in jail," Tom says. "You can only come out if you say sorry." + +Sam thinks. He does not want to say sorry. He wants to play something else. He looks around. He sees a big hole in the box. The hole is near the floor. Sam has an idea. + +"Tom, look over there!" Sam says. "There is a big dog. He is very attractive. He has a red collar and a blue ball." + +Tom loves dogs. He turns his head to see the dog. He does not see the dog. He sees nothing. Sam is tricking him. + +While Tom is looking, Sam crawls through the hole. He escapes from jail. He runs away. He laughs. + +"Ha ha, Tom, I escaped!" Sam says. "You are a silly cop. You fell for my trick." + +Tom is angry. He runs after Sam. He wants to catch him again. He wants to put him back in jail. + +"Come back, Sam, you are a naughty robber. You have to go to jail," Tom says. "You lied to me. There is no dog." + +Sam and Tom chase each other. They have fun. They forget about jail. They are still friends. +Tom was a young boy who liked to try new things. He wanted to see the world and have fun. One day, he saw a big red balloon in the park. He ran to get it, but it was too high for him. He asked his mom to help him. + +"Mom, can you get me the balloon?" he said. + +"Sorry, Tom, but the balloon is not ours. It belongs to someone else. We should not take it," his mom said. + +"But I want it, mom. It is so pretty and big. Please, mom, please," he begged. + +His mom sighed. She did not want to make him sad, but she also did not want to teach him to be greedy. She looked around and saw no one near the balloon. She thought maybe the owner had left it by mistake. She decided to let Tom have it for a little while, and then return it later. + +"Okay, Tom, but only for a little while. And you have to be careful with it. Do not let it go, or it will fly away," she said. + +She lifted Tom up and gave him the balloon. Tom was so happy. He hugged the balloon and thanked his mom. He felt like he had the whole world in his hands. + +He ran around the park with the balloon, feeling the wind and the sun on his face. He laughed and smiled. He did not see the big tree in his way. He bumped into it and fell down. The balloon slipped from his fingers and soared into the sky. + +"Mom, mom, help me! My balloon, my balloon!" he cried. + +His mom ran to him and picked him up. She hugged him and kissed his bruise. She looked up and saw the balloon getting smaller and smaller. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, but the balloon is gone. We can't get it back. It was not ours to keep," she said. + +Tom sobbed and sobbed. He felt like he had lost the world. He wished he had listened to his mom. He learned a hard lesson that day. He learned that trying new things can be fun, but also risky. He learned that some things are not meant to be. He learned that sometimes, things have a bad ending. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play football in the park. They kick the ball and run and laugh. They are excited. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and brown and has a long tail. The dog runs to the ball and picks it up in his mouth. He shakes his head and makes a loud noise. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom says. "Give it back, dog!" + +Ben is scared. He hides behind a tree. He says, "Tom, be careful. The dog might bite you." + +Tom is brave. He walks to the dog and says, "Please, dog, can we have our ball back? We want to play." + +The dog looks at Tom and wags his tail. He drops the ball and licks Tom's face. He is friendly. + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, dog. You are nice. Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog barks and nods. He runs after the ball and brings it back to Tom and Ben. They play together and have fun. + +After a while, they are tired and thirsty. They go to the fountain and drink some water. The dog drinks too. He is happy. + +Tom and Ben say, "We like you, dog. What is your name?" + +The dog has a collar. On the collar, there is a tag. The tag says, "Rex". + +"Rex," Tom and Ben say. "That's a good name. We are Tom and Ben. We are your friends." + +Rex wags his tail and barks. He is excited. He has new friends and a new ball. He likes to play football in the park. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He also liked to repeat the sounds they made. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep, screech, screech! + +One day, Tom was playing with his cars when he heard a loud noise outside. He ran to the window and saw a big black truck with a red light and a siren. It was an emergency truck. It was going to help someone who was hurt or in trouble. Tom was curious and excited. He wanted to see what the truck was doing. + +He grabbed his favorite car, a red one with a blue stripe, and ran to the door. He opened it and ran outside. He followed the truck down the street, making the same noise as the siren. Wee, wee, wee, wee! He repeated it over and over. + +But Tom did not see his mom, who was in the kitchen. She was making lunch for Tom and his baby sister. She did not hear Tom leave the house. She only heard the siren and the car noises. She thought Tom was still playing in his room. + +She finished making the sandwiches and went to get Tom and his sister. She went to Tom's room, but he was not there. She went to the living room, but he was not there. She went to the backyard, but he was not there. She started to worry. Where was Tom? + +She looked out the window and saw the black truck coming back. It had helped someone and was going home. She also saw Tom, running behind the truck, still making the siren noise. He was very far from the house. He was in danger. There were many cars and people on the street. He could get lost or hurt. + +She ran outside and called his name. "Tom, Tom, come back! It's an emergency! You have to come back!" She repeated it loud and clear. + +Tom heard his mom's voice and stopped. He saw her waving and shouting. He realized he had done something bad. He had left the house without telling her. He had followed the truck too far. He had scared his mom. He felt sorry and scared. + +He dropped his car and ran back to his mom. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry. I wanted to see the truck. I wanted to make the noise. I'm sorry." + +His mom hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you're safe. But you can't do that again. You can't leave the house without me. You can't follow the truck. It's dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I won't do it again. I promise." + +His mom smiled and said, "Good. Now let's go inside and have lunch. And then you can play with your cars. But only inside, okay?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Okay, Mom. I love you." + +They went inside and had lunch. Tom played with his cars. He still made the noises, but not too loud. He did not repeat the siren. He did not want to have another emergency. He wanted to be a good boy. +Lily was a healthy girl who liked to play outside. She had a big ball that she could roll on the grass. She liked to roll it fast and far, and then run after it. Sometimes she rolled it to her friends and they rolled it back to her. + +One day, she saw a new boy in the park. He had a small ball that he could roll on the ground. He rolled it slowly and close, and then picked it up. He did not roll it to anyone. He looked sad and lonely. + +Lily wanted to be his friend. She rolled her big ball to him and smiled. He looked at her and then at the ball. He did not smile back. He rolled his small ball away from her and walked to a bench. + +Lily felt bad. She did not understand why he did not want to play with her. She ran to her mom and asked her. Her mom gave her a hug and told her some wisdom. + +She said, "Some people are shy and need time to trust others. Some people are sad and need kindness to feel better. Some people are different and need respect to feel welcome. You are a good girl who likes to share and have fun. But not everyone is ready to do the same. You can try to be friendly and patient, but you cannot force them to be your friend. Maybe one day, he will roll his ball to you and smile. But if he does not, that is okay too. You have many other friends who love to roll with you." + +Lily nodded and thanked her mom. She understood a little bit more about people and how they feel. She went back to her big ball and rolled it to her friends. They rolled it back to her and laughed. She was happy and healthy. She hoped the new boy would be too. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they find a big zip on the wall. It is shiny and red. They want to open it and see what is inside. + +"Let me do it!" Tom says. He pulls the zip hard. It does not move. + +"No, let me do it!" Sam says. He pushes Tom away and grabs the zip. He pulls it harder. It still does not move. + +They both pull the zip together. They pull and pull and pull. Then, the zip breaks. It makes a loud noise. They fall on the floor. + +"Uh-oh," Tom says. "We broke the zip." + +"What is that?" Sam says. He points to a hole in the wall. The zip was hiding a hole. They see a dark and scary place. They hear a growl. + +"Run!" Tom says. He and Sam get up and run away. They are scared. + +They run to their teacher. She is kind and humble. She sees the broken zip and the hole. She is not happy. + +"Boys, what did you do?" she says. "You should not strike the zip. It is not a toy. It is to keep the bad things out. Now, you have to say sorry and help me fix it." + +Tom and Sam feel bad. They say sorry to their teacher. They help her find a new zip and put it on the wall. They learn their lesson. They do not strike the zip again. They play with their cars and balls instead. They are still friends. +Sam loves his bicycle. It is red and shiny and clean. He likes to ride it fast on the road. He says, "Look at me, I can speed!" + +One day, he sees a big hill. He wants to go up and down the hill on his bicycle. He pedals hard and fast. He feels the wind in his hair. He says, "Whee, this is fun!" + +But when he comes down the hill, he does not see a big puddle. He rides into the puddle and splashes water and mud everywhere. His bicycle is not clean anymore. It is dirty and wet. He says, "Oh no, my bicycle!" + +He stops and looks at his bicycle. He feels sad. He does not like his bicycle dirty. He wants to make it clean again. He says, "I need a cloth and some water." + +He walks to his house with his bicycle. He finds a cloth and some water. He wipes his bicycle with the cloth and the water. He makes it red and shiny and clean again. He says, "There, my bicycle is clean!" + +He smiles and hugs his bicycle. He likes his bicycle. He says, "I love you, bicycle!" +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, hairy dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. The dog runs and barks. + +"Wow, look at the dog!" Tom says. "He is so big and hairy!" + +"I want to pet the dog," Lily says. "He looks soft and nice." + +They run after the dog. The dog sees them and stops. He wags his tail and licks his nose. + +"Hello, dog," Tom says. "What is your name?" + +The dog barks. He does not say his name. + +"Can we pet you?" Lily asks. She reaches out her hand. + +The dog barks again. He jumps and nips at Lily's hand. Lily pulls back her hand. She is scared. + +"Ow, that hurts!" Lily says. "The dog is not nice!" + +Tom and Lily run away from the dog. They find a cloth on the ground. It is red and has dots. They pick up the cloth. + +"Let's plan a game," Tom says. "We can use this cloth as a cape." + +"OK, that sounds fun," Lily says. "We can be superheroes." + +They tie the cloth around their necks. They pretend to fly and save the world. They forget about the dog. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what their mom was doing in the kitchen. + +"Mom, can we help you?" Lily asked. + +"Not now, sweetie. I'm making dinner. You have to be patient and wait a little bit," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and went back to their toys. But they were still curious. They decided to sneak into the kitchen and peek at what Mom was making. They tiptoed quietly and opened the door. + +But they did not see Mom. They saw a big pot on the stove, with steam coming out of it. They saw a spoon on the counter, with some sauce on it. And they saw a cake on the table, with frosting and sprinkles on it. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. + +"Yummy, yummy!" Lily said. + +They wanted to taste the cake, but they knew they had to ask Mom first. They looked around for Mom, but they did not see her. They did not know that Mom had gone to the bathroom for a minute. + +"Maybe we can have a little bite," Ben said. + +"Maybe we can," Lily said. + +They reached for the cake, but they did not see the cat. The cat was hiding under the table, and it also wanted the cake. It jumped out and pounced on the cake, making a big mess. The cake fell on the floor, and the frosting and sprinkles went everywhere. The cat ran away, leaving a trail of paw prints. + +Lily and Ben gasped. They were scared and sorry. They did not mean to ruin the cake. They heard Mom coming back. They did not know what to do. + +"Mom, we're sorry!" Lily said. + +"We didn't mean to!" Ben said. + +Mom came into the kitchen and saw the disaster. She was shocked and angry. She saw the pot, the spoon, the cake, and the cat. She saw Lily and Ben, with wet eyes and sad faces. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. + +"The cat did it!" Lily and Ben said. + +Mom looked at them and sighed. She knew they were telling the truth, but she also knew they were not supposed to be in the kitchen. She was disappointed and upset. + +"Lily and Ben, you know you don't belong in the kitchen when I'm cooking. You could have burned yourself or cut yourself or spilled something. You have to listen to me and be patient. You have to wait until dinner is ready. And you have to ask before you touch anything. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They felt bad and sorry. They wanted to make Mom happy again. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We love you, Mom. Can we help you clean up?" Lily and Ben said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She loved them too. She was still angry, but she was also forgiving. She knew they were just curious and hungry. She knew they were still learning. + +"Thank you, Lily and Ben. You can help me clean up. But first, let's wash your hands. They're all wet and sticky," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben smiled and followed Mom. They washed their hands and helped Mom clean up. They hoped Mom would still have some cake for them. They hoped Mom would still be proud of them. They hoped Mom would still be patient with them. +Tom and Jen were playing in the sand. They had a small bucket and a big shovel. They wanted to make a sand castle. + +"Look, Jen, I can fill the bucket with sand!" Tom said. He dug and dug with the shovel. The bucket was full. + +"Good job, Tom! Now we can dump it on the ground and make a tower!" Jen said. She took the bucket from Tom and turned it over. But nothing came out. The sand was stuck in the bucket. + +"Oh no, Jen, what happened?" Tom asked. He tried to shake the bucket. The sand was still stuck. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe the sand is too wet. Or maybe the bucket is too small." Jen said. She looked around. She saw a bigger bucket near the water. It belonged to another kid. + +"Hey, Tom, I have an idea. Let's use that bucket. It's bigger and better. Come on!" Jen said. She ran to the bigger bucket. She did not mind that it was not hers. + +"Wait, Jen, that's not our bucket. That's someone else's bucket. We can't take it." Tom said. He followed Jen. He minded that they were doing something wrong. + +But Jen did not listen. She grabbed the bigger bucket and ran back to the sand. She filled it with sand and dumped it on the ground. It made a big tower. + +"Wow, Jen, that's a great tower. But we should give the bucket back. It's not nice to take things that are not ours." Tom said. He felt bad. + +But Jen did not care. She wanted to make more towers. She filled the bucket again and again. She did not see the other kid coming. + +"Hey, that's my bucket! Give it back!" The other kid said. He was angry. He snatched the bucket from Jen. He knocked down her towers. + +"Hey, stop that! That's not fair!" Jen said. She was sad. She cried. + +"Jen, I told you. That was not our bucket. You should have minded. Now look what you did." Tom said. He was sorry. He hugged Jen. + +"Tom, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should have minded. Can we still be friends?" Jen said. She was sorry too. She hugged Tom. + +"Of course, Jen. We can still be friends. But next time, let's use our own bucket. OK?" Tom said. He smiled. + +"OK, Tom. Let's use our own bucket. And let's make a new sand castle. Together." Jen said. She smiled too. + +They took their small bucket and their big shovel. They made a new sand castle. They had fun. They minded. The end. +Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together at the park. One day, they decided to go for a walk with their dogs, Spot and Fuzz. + +"Spot, Fuzz, come on!" Tim called. He held a leash in his hand. Lily did the same. + +They walked along the path, looking at the trees and the flowers. They saw some birds and squirrels. They laughed and talked. + +"Look, there is a pond!" Lily said. "Maybe we can see some ducks." + +They ran to the pond and saw some ducks swimming. They threw some bread for them. The ducks came closer and quacked. + +"Hello, ducks!" Tim said. "Do you like the bread?" + +One of the ducks was very rude. He did not want to share the bread with the other ducks. He snapped at them and chased them away. He also snapped at Spot and Fuzz, who barked and growled. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily said. "You are being very rude. You have to share the bread. There is enough for everyone." + +The rude duck did not listen. He kept snapping and chasing. He even snapped at Tim and Lily, who jumped back. + +"Ow, that hurts!" Tim said. "Go away, rude duck!" + +Lily had an idea. She picked up a stick and waved it at the rude duck. She made a loud noise. + +"Shoo, shoo, rude duck!" she said. "Leave us alone!" + +The rude duck was scared of the stick and the noise. He swam away, quacking angrily. + +"Good job, Lily!" Tim said. "You scared him away. He was very mean." + +"Thank you, Tim," Lily said. "You are very brave. He was very mean." + +They hugged each other and their dogs. They decided to leave the pond and continue their walk. + +"Let's go somewhere else," Tim said. "Maybe we can find some nice animals." + +"OK, let's go," Lily said. "But remind me to bring a bigger stick next time." + +They laughed and walked away, holding hands. They were still best friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and have fun. One day, they want to go to the theater. The theater is far from their home. They have to take the bus. + +"Come on, Lily, let's jog to the bus stop!" Ben says. He runs fast. Lily runs after him. She likes to jog. Jogging makes her happy. + +They get to the bus stop. But the bus is not there. They see the bus on the other side of the street. It is leaving. + +"Oh no, we missed the bus!" Lily says. She is sad. She wants to see the theater. + +"Maybe we can catch another bus," Ben says. He looks at the sign. The sign says the next bus is in one hour. + +"One hour is too long," Lily says. She is bored. She does not want to wait. + +"Maybe we can do something else," Ben says. He looks around. He sees a park. The park has swings and slides and a sandbox. + +"Look, Lily, there is a park!" Ben says. He points to the park. "Let's go to the park and play!" + +Lily looks at the park. She sees the swings and slides and the sandbox. She smiles. + +"OK, let's go to the park!" Lily says. She holds Ben's hand. They jog to the park. They have fun. + +They forget about the theater. They are happy. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes things do not go as planned, but you can still find joy in other things. Jogging and playing with a friend are good things. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, balls, dolls, and spears. Spears are long sticks with sharp points. They can throw them at things. + +One day, Tom and Sam decide to play with their spears. They go to the garden. They see a big tree. They want to hit the tree with their spears. They take turns to throw their spears. They have fun. + +But then, they hear their mom call them. "Tom! Sam! Come inside! It is time to wash!" Mom says. Tom and Sam run to the house. They leave their spears on the ground. + +Mom sees their spears. She is not happy. "What are these?" She asks. "These are our spears, Mom. We made them ourselves. They are original." Tom says. "We were playing with them in the garden." Sam says. + +Mom shakes her head. "Spears are not toys, boys. They are dangerous. You could hurt yourselves or someone else. And look how dirty they are. You need to wash them and put them away. And then you need to wash yourselves. You are dirty too." She says. + +Tom and Sam feel sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They take their spears and wash them with water and soap. They put them in the box. They wash their hands and faces. They hug Mom and say sorry. + +Mom smiles and hugs them back. "It's okay, boys. I know you were just having fun. But next time, please be careful and choose safer toys. And don't forget to wash them and yourselves when you are done." She says. + +Tom and Sam nod and say yes. They love Mom. They love their spears too. But they will not play with them again. They will find other toys to play with. Toys that are not dangerous. Toys that are original and fun. +Tommy loved to step on the crunchy leaves in the morning. He liked the sound they made and the colors they had. He always went to the park with his mom and his dog Spot after breakfast. They had a lot of fun playing and running. + +One bright morning, Tommy saw a big pile of leaves near a bench. He ran towards it, ready to jump and step on it. But he did not see the sign that said "Do not step on the leaves". The sign was there because the park workers had raked the leaves to make compost for the plants. Tommy did not know what compost was, he only wanted to play. + +He jumped on the pile of leaves and heard a loud "crack". He felt a sharp pain in his foot. He had stepped on a stick that was hidden under the leaves. He cried out loud and fell to the ground. His mom and Spot heard him and came running. They saw the blood on his foot and the stick sticking out. They were very worried and scared. + +Mom took out the stick and wrapped Tommy's foot with a cloth. She called for help and a nice man came with a car. He took them to the hospital, where a doctor looked at Tommy's foot. He said Tommy had a small cut and gave him a band-aid and a sticker. He said Tommy would be fine, but he had to be careful where he stepped. + +Tommy learned a lesson that day. He learned that he should always look before he stepped, and that he should follow the rules of the park. He also learned that his mom and Spot loved him very much and would always help him. He said he was sorry for stepping on the leaves and thanked the doctor and the nice man. He still liked to play with the leaves, but he only stepped on the ones that were on the ground. He was happy and safe. +Lily liked to write. She had a big book and many pens. She wrote her name, and words, and pictures. She wrote every day. + +One day, she saw a new girl in the park. The girl had a colorful dress and a colorful hat. Lily wanted to be her friend. She went to the girl and said, "Hi, I am Lily. What is your name?" + +The girl looked at Lily and said, "I am Mia. I like your book. Can I see it?" + +Lily was happy. She showed Mia her book. Mia liked it too. She said, "You write very well. Can you teach me?" + +Lily nodded. She gave Mia a pen and a page. She said, "First, you write your name. Like this." She wrote Mia in big letters. + +Mia tried to write her name. But she wrote it wrong. She wrote MIA with a dot on the I. She said, "Look, I wrote my name. It has an eye." + +Lily laughed. She said, "That is not an eye. That is a dot. You write I like this." She wrote I without a dot. + +Mia looked at Lily and said, "Why? I like my eye. It is colorful. Like my dress and my hat." + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "You are right. Your eye is colorful. And it is your name. You can write it however you want." + +Mia smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. And a good teacher." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "You are welcome, Mia. You are a good friend. And a good learner." + +They hugged and played with the book and the pens. They wrote many words and pictures. They wrote in different colors and shapes. They had fun. + +The moral of the story is: You can be creative and express yourself in your own way. You can also respect and appreciate the differences of others. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. Sometimes they help their mom and dad with chores. Today is a special day. Mom and dad have to go to the office. They work on computers and talk to people. They say they will be back soon. + +Tom and Anna want to surprise their mom and dad. They decide to make a card for them. They find some paper, crayons, scissors and glue. They draw pictures of their family and write "We love you" on the card. They cut out some hearts and stars and stick them on the card. They are very proud of their work. + +They hear the door open. Mom and dad are home! Tom and Anna hurry to the living room. They hide the card behind their backs. They smile and hug their mom and dad. + +"Hello, sweeties! How was your day?" mom asks. + +"We had fun! We played and read and helped!" Anna says. + +"We have something for you!" Tom says. + +They show the card to their mom and dad. Mom and dad are very happy. They thank Tom and Anna and kiss them. + +"This is the best card ever! You are so generous and thoughtful!" dad says. + +"We love you, mom and dad!" Tom and Anna say. + +They all sit on the couch and cuddle. They look at the card and talk about their day. They are a happy family. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big aeroplane that made noises and lights. Lily had a small doll that she liked to dress up. Tom wanted to play with Lily's doll, but Lily said no. + +"Please, Lily, let me play with your doll. My aeroplane is boring," Tom said. + +"No, Tom, this is my doll. You have your own toy. Go away," Lily said. + +Tom was angry. He grabbed Lily's doll and ran away. Lily cried and chased him. Tom ran into the kitchen, where Mom was baking a cake. He did not see the cake on the table and bumped into it. The cake fell on the floor and made a big mess. + +"Tom, what have you done?" Mom said. She was very upset. She had worked hard to bake the cake for Dad's birthday. + +Tom was scared. He dropped the doll and tried to hide behind the chair. Lily came into the kitchen and saw the cake and the doll. She was confused. She did not understand why Tom had ruined the cake and taken her doll. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. Tom took my doll and ran away. I did not mean to make you angry," Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She picked up the doll and gave it back to Lily. She looked at Tom and said, "Tom, come here. You need to say sorry to Lily and to me. You were very naughty. You should not take things that are not yours. You should not run in the house. You should not spoil the cake. You should finish playing with your own toy before you ask for another one." + +Tom came out from behind the chair. He felt ashamed. He said sorry to Lily and to Mom. He hugged them and said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I will not do it again. I will finish playing with my aeroplane and share with Lily." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good, Tom. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's clean up this mess and make a new cake for Dad. He will be home soon. He will be happy to see you and Lily playing nicely together." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They helped Mom to clean up the kitchen and to bake a new cake. They learned that it is better to be kind and respectful than to be selfish and rude. They also learned that it is important to finish what they start and to be careful with their things. They had a happy birthday party with Dad and enjoyed the cake and the toys. +Tim was a bird who loved to fly. He liked to feel the wind on his wings and see the sky and the trees. He had many friends who flew with him every day. They played games and sang songs and had fun. + +One day, Tim flew too fast and hit a branch. He fell to the ground and hurt his wing. It was very sore and he could not fly. He felt miserable and sad. He wanted to fly with his friends again, but he could not. + +His friends saw him and came to help him. They brought him some seeds and water and said nice things to him. They told him his wing would get better soon and he could fly again. They stayed with him and kept him company. + +Tim was glad to have such good friends. He ate the seeds and drank the water and felt a little better. He thanked his friends and smiled. He hoped his wing would finish healing soon and he could fly again. He knew his friends would wait for him and fly with him when he was ready. He felt less miserable and more happy. +Lila loved to draw with her pastels. She had many colors: pink, blue, yellow, green, purple. She liked to make pictures of flowers, stars, and animals. She put her pastels in a box and carried them everywhere. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She left her box of pastels on a bench and ran to the slide. She had fun sliding down and climbing up again. She did not see the sun shine on her pastels. + +When she came back to the bench, she saw that her pastels were melted. They were soft and sticky and mixed together. She could not draw with them anymore. She felt sad and angry. She cried and said, "Mom, dad, look what happened to my pastels! They are ruined!" + +Her mom and dad hugged her and said, "We are sorry, Lila. The sun was too hot and it melted your pastels. It was an accident. We know you loved your pastels. We can buy you new ones later, okay?" + +Lila nodded and wiped her tears. She was still frustrated, but she felt a little better. She said, "Okay, thank you, mom and dad. Can we go to the swings now?" + +Her mom and dad smiled and said, "Sure, let's go to the swings. Maybe you can make some new friends there." + +Lila took her mom's hand and her dad's hand and walked to the swings. She hoped to find some nice kids who liked to draw too. She thought maybe she could share her new pastels with them. She decided to keep them in a cooler place next time. She did not want them to melt again. +Lila and her mom lived in a shelter. A shelter was a big house where many people stayed. They did not have their own house because they had no money. Lila and her mom shared a room with two other families. Lila liked the shelter because she had many friends to play with. But she missed her dad. + +Her dad was far away. He worked in another country. He sent them letters and pictures. Sometimes he called them on the phone. Lila loved to hear his voice. She wished he could come back soon. + +One day, Lila's mom had good news. She said, "Lila, guess what? Your dad is coming home! He found a new job here. He will be with us in two weeks. We can move out of the shelter and find our own house." + +Lila was so happy. She jumped and clapped. She said, "Really? Really? Can I see him? Can I hug him? Can I tell him I miss him?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Yes, yes, yes. You can do all that and more. He misses you too. He loves you very much. We are very lucky to have him." + +Lila and her mom thanked the people at the shelter. They were very kind to them. They helped them with food and clothes and toys. They said goodbye to their friends. They packed their bags and waited for dad. + +When dad arrived, Lila ran to him. She wrapped her arms around him. She said, "Dad, dad, dad. I miss you so much. I'm so happy you're here. I love you." + +Dad kissed her and lifted her up. He said, "Lila, Lila, Lila. I miss you too. I'm so happy to see you. I love you." + +Mom joined them and they hugged as a family. They were happy and grateful. They left the shelter and went to their new house. They had a new start. They had each other. +Lily and Ben were young friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man selling sandwiches near the swings. They were hungry and wanted to try them. + +"Can we have a sandwich, please?" Lily asked the man. + +"Sure, but you have to pay me one coin for each sandwich," the man said. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not have any coins. They only had some toys and stickers in their pockets. + +"Can we give you a toy or a sticker instead?" Ben asked the man. + +The man shook his head. "No, I only accept coins. If you don't have any, you can't have a sandwich." + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They walked away from the man and sat on a bench. They saw a lady with a baby in a stroller. The lady had a sandwich in her hand, but she was busy talking on the phone. The baby was crying and reaching for the sandwich. + +Lily and Ben had an idea. They ran to the lady and smiled. + +"Hello, we are Lily and Ben. We can help you with your baby. We can make him happy and quiet," Lily said. + +The lady looked at them and nodded. "That would be nice. Thank you, kids. Here, you can have my sandwich. I'm not very hungry anyway." + +Lily and Ben took the sandwich and thanked the lady. They broke the sandwich in half and shared it. They also played with the baby and made him laugh. The lady was happy and grateful. + +Lily and Ben learned that being kind and helpful is better than being greedy and selfish. They also learned that sometimes you can get what you want by giving what you have. They enjoyed their sandwich and their new friend. They were glad they did not pay the man. +Tom and Jen are playing in the park. They like to pretend they are space heroes. They have toy lasers that make funny sounds. They run and jump and hide behind the trees. + +But Tom is not very alert. He does not see a big rock on the ground. He stumbles and falls. His laser flies out of his hand. He hurts his knee and starts to cry. + +Jen hears Tom and runs to him. She sees his knee is red and his laser is broken. She feels sorry for him. She gives him a hug and says, "It's OK, Tom. I will help you." + +She takes her laser and points it at his knee. She says, "This is a magic laser. It will make your knee better." She makes a beep sound with her mouth. Tom stops crying and smiles. He says, "Thank you, Jen. You are a good friend." + +They get up and walk to the bench. They sit and share a juice box. They are happy. They are still space heroes. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to run fast. They wanted to join the race at the park, but they did not have shoes. They asked their moms for shoes, but their moms said no. They said shoes were too expensive and they had to save money. + +Lily and Sam were sad. They saw other kids with shoes running to the park. They wished they had shoes too. Then they saw Ben, who had two pairs of shoes. One pair was red and one pair was blue. Ben was a big kid who liked to show off. + +"Hey, Ben, can you lend us your shoes?" Lily and Sam asked. "We want to join the race, but we have no shoes." + +Ben laughed. "Why should I lend you my shoes? You are too slow and too small. You will lose the race anyway. And you might ruin my shoes. No, you cannot have my shoes. Go away!" + +Lily and Sam felt angry and hurt. They did not like Ben. He was mean and selfish. They walked away, but they did not give up. They had an idea. They found some cardboard and some string. They cut out the shape of shoes and tied them to their feet. They made their own shoes. + +They ran to the park with their cardboard shoes. They saw Ben and the other kids waiting for the race to start. Ben saw them and laughed again. "Look at those silly shoes! They are not real shoes. They are trash. You will fall and hurt yourself. You will be embarrassed. You should not join the race." + +Lily and Sam ignored Ben. They knew their shoes were not perfect, but they were proud of them. They had made them with their own hands. They had used their imagination and their creativity. They had not given up. + +The race started. Lily and Sam ran as fast as they could. They passed some kids who had real shoes. They felt happy and strong. They reached the finish line. They did not win the race, but they did not lose either. They came in third and fourth place. They got medals and cheers. + +Ben did not do well. He tripped on his shoes and fell. He scraped his knee and his shoes got dirty. He felt pain and shame. He did not get a medal or a cheer. He was embarrassed. + +Lily and Sam went to Ben. They did not laugh at him. They felt sorry for him. They offered him their cardboard shoes. They said, "Here, Ben, you can have our shoes. We do not need them anymore. We hope you feel better." + +Ben was surprised. He did not expect Lily and Sam to be kind to him. He had been mean and selfish to them. He felt sorry for himself. He said, "Thank you, Lily and Sam. You are good friends. I am sorry I was mean and selfish to you. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily and Sam smiled. They said, "Yes, Ben, we forgive you. We can be friends. Maybe next time we can join the race together." + +Ben smiled too. He said, "Yes, that would be nice. Maybe you can teach me how to make cardboard shoes. They are cool." + +They all hugged and walked away. They learned a lesson. They learned that shoes are not important, but friendship is. They learned that being kind and generous is better than being mean and selfish. They learned that being creative and brave is better than being showy and proud. They learned that they can have fun and be happy with what they have. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with blocks and make houses and towers. One day, they want to make a big country with many blocks. They use red blocks, blue blocks, yellow blocks and green blocks. + +"Look, this is my country. It has a nice flag with red and blue," Tom says. He puts a block on top of his tower. + +"And this is my country. It has a nice flower with yellow and green," Lily says. She puts a block next to her house. + +They are happy and play together. But then, a big dog comes. The dog is not mean, but he is curious. He sees the blocks and wants to play too. He runs to the blocks and knocks them over with his nose and paws. + +"Oh no, our countries!" Tom and Lily cry. They are sad and angry. The dog has ruined their blocks. + +"Bad dog, go away!" Tom shouts. He tries to prevent the dog from breaking more blocks. He pushes the dog with his hands. + +"Stop, Tom, don't hurt the dog!" Lily says. She is not angry anymore. She feels sorry for the dog. He does not know that the blocks are not toys. He just wants to have fun. + +"Sorry, dog, we are not mad at you," Lily says. She pets the dog and gives him a hug. The dog wags his tail and licks her face. + +Tom sees that Lily is nice to the dog. He is not angry anymore either. He smiles and joins them. He pets the dog and gives him a hug too. + +"Maybe we can play with the dog instead of the blocks," Tom says. + +"OK, let's play fetch with the dog. He likes to run and catch things," Lily says. + +They find a ball and throw it for the dog. The dog runs and catches the ball and brings it back. They laugh and have fun. They forget about the blocks and the countries. They are happy and play together. +Lila and Sam were very happy. They moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. They wanted to see their toys and books. + +"Can we unpack this box, Mom?" Lila asked. She pointed to a big box with a wrap on it. + +"Sure, honey. That's your box. Sam, you can unpack your box too. It's over there." Mom said. She smiled and gave them scissors to cut the wrap. + +Lila and Sam cut the wrap and opened the box. They saw their dolls, cars, puzzles and crayons. They clapped and cheered. + +"Look, Sam, it's my princess doll. And your fire truck. And our farm puzzle. And our crayons. We can play with them in our new room." Lila said. + +"Yay, Lila, let's go. I want to draw a picture of our new house. And you can make a crown for your doll." Sam said. + +They took their toys and ran to their new room. They were very happy. + +But outside, it was very cold and harsh. The wind blew and the snow fell. It was winter and the new house was far from the city. Mom and Dad looked out the window and sighed. + +"I hope they will like it here. It's so different from our old home." Mom said. + +"Don't worry, dear. They are kids. They can adapt and have fun. And we will make new friends soon. It's a fresh start for us." Dad said. + +He hugged Mom and they smiled. They loved their new house and their kids. They were happy too. +Anna liked to look at the magazine with her mum. The magazine had many pictures of jolly people and animals. Anna liked to point at the pictures and say their names. Mum liked to hug Anna and tell her stories about the pictures. + +One day, it was raining very hard. Anna and mum could not go outside to play. They stayed inside and looked at the magazine. Anna was happy. She saw a picture of a big dog with a jolly face. She wanted to touch the dog. She reached for the magazine. + +But mum was not looking. She was talking on the phone. She did not see Anna grab the magazine. The magazine was heavy. It slipped from Anna's hands. It fell on the floor. It made a loud noise. + +Mum was angry. She shouted at Anna. She said Anna was naughty. She said Anna ruined the magazine. She took the magazine away from Anna. She did not hug Anna. She did not tell her stories. + +Anna was sad. She cried. She wanted the magazine. She wanted the jolly dog. She wanted mum. But mum was not jolly. Mum was mad. Anna did not like the rain. She did not like the day. She wished the day was over. +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a big rock. Tom wants to break it. He finds a stick and hits the rock hard. But the stick breaks and Tom hurts his hand. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cries. "The rock is too hard and the stick is too sharp!" + +Mia runs to him and looks at his hand. She sees a cut and some blood. She feels sorry for Tom. + +"Let me help you, Tom," she says. "We need to wash your hand and put a band-aid on it." + +She takes Tom to the house and asks Mom for help. Mom cleans Tom's hand and puts a band-aid on it. She gives Tom a hug and a kiss. + +"There, there, Tom," she says. "You are very brave. But next time, be careful with sharp things. They can hurt you." + +Tom nods and says thank you. He feels better. He and Mia go back to the garden. They decide to play with something else. They see a big ball. They kick it and throw it and have fun. The ball is soft and round. It does not hurt them. + +The end. +Sara liked to help her mom with the laundry. She liked to put the dirty clothes in the big basket and carry them to the machine. She liked to watch the clothes spin and make bubbles. She liked to smell the clean clothes when they came out. + +One day, Sara saw a yellow dress in the basket. It was her favorite dress. She wanted to wear it to play with her friends. She took the dress out of the basket and put it on. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. + +But her mom did not smile. She saw Sara wearing the dirty dress and was angry. She shouted at Sara and told her to take it off. She said the dress was not clean and had stains. She said Sara had to wait until the laundry was done. + +Sara was sad and scared. She did not like to hear her mom shout. She did not know the dress was dirty. She did not want to wait. She started to cry and ran to her room. + +Her mom felt sorry for Sara. She knew Sara loved the yellow dress and did not mean to make a mess. She followed Sara to her room and hugged her. She said she was sorry for shouting and that she loved her. She said they could wash the dress together and make it clean and pretty. She said Sara could wear it tomorrow and play with her friends. + +Sara stopped crying and smiled. She said she was sorry for taking the dress and that she loved her mom. She said she wanted to help with the laundry and learn how to make bubbles. She said she liked the yellow dress and her mom. + +They went back to the laundry room and put the dress in the machine. They watched it spin and make bubbles. They smelled the clean clothes when they came out. They hung the yellow dress on the line and waited for it to dry. They were happy and hugged each other. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers, trees and birds. They also saw a big hill with green grass. Lily and Ben wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go up the hill!" Lily said. + +"OK, Lily, let's go!" Ben said. + +They ran up the hill, holding hands. They reached the top and looked around. They saw a big pond with ducks and frogs. They also saw a small forest with many mushrooms. + +"Wow, look at the mushrooms!" Lily said. "They are so big and colorful!" + +She pointed at a red mushroom with white dots. It was as big as her head. + +"Can we pick it, mom?" she asked. + +"No, Lily, you can't pick the mushrooms. They might be bad for you. Some mushrooms can make you sick or hurt you. You can only look at them, but don't touch them." Mom said. + +"OK, mom, we won't touch them. But can we play with the ducks and frogs?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, you can play with the ducks and frogs, but be careful not to fall in the pond. And don't go too far from me. I will watch you from here." Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and ran to the pond. They had fun throwing bread to the ducks and watching the frogs jump. They also saw a turtle and a dragonfly. They were happy and curious. They learned many new things about the pond and the forest. They thanked mom for taking them to the park. They had a wonderful day. +Tom and Anna liked to go to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite animal was the zebra. The zebra had black and white stripes, and a long tail. Tom and Anna wanted to touch the zebra, but their mom said no. + +"Zebra is not a pet. Zebra can bite or kick. You have to stay behind the fence," their mom said. + +But Tom and Anna did not listen. They waited until their mom was looking at the map, and then they ran to the zebra. They climbed over the fence, and ran to the zebra. The zebra was eating some grass, and did not see them. + +Tom reached out his hand, and touched the zebra's back. It felt soft and warm. He smiled, and said to Anna, "Look, I am touching the zebra!" + +Anna wanted to touch the zebra too. She reached out her hand, and squeezed the zebra's tail. She thought it would be fun, but it was not. The zebra did not like it. The zebra made a loud noise, and kicked Anna with its hoof. Anna fell to the ground, and cried. She had a big bruise on her leg. + +The zebra ran away, and the zookeeper came. He saw Tom and Anna, and was angry. He called their mom, and told her what they did. Their mom was very sad, and scolded them. + +"You were very naughty, and very foolish. You hurt the zebra, and you hurt yourself. You did not listen to me, or to the wise zebra. Now we have to go home, and you have to say sorry to the zebra," their mom said. + +Tom and Anna felt very sorry, and very ashamed. They wished they had listened to their mom, and to the wise zebra. They learned a hard lesson, and never tried to touch the zebra again. +Lila and Ben are at the park with Mom. They like to play on the swings, the seesaw and the slide. The slide is very big and shiny. Lila goes first. She climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She says, "Whee!" as she slides down. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. + +Ben wants to slide too. He follows Lila up the ladder. But when he sits on the slide, he says, "Ow! Ow! Ow!" The slide is very hot. It burns his legs and his bottom. He cries and jumps off the slide. He runs to Mom and hugs her. + +Mom says, "Oh, Ben, I'm sorry. The slide is too hot today. It's not fun to slide on a hot slide. Let me see your legs and your bottom. Do you need a band-aid?" + +Ben says, "No, Mom, I don't need a band-aid. I just need a hug and a kiss. And maybe a lime." + +Mom says, "A lime? Why do you want a lime?" + +Ben says, "Because limes are cold and sour. They make me feel better. And they are green, like the slide. But not hot, like the slide." + +Mom says, "OK, Ben, I have a lime in my bag. You can have a lime. And Lila, do you want a lime too?" + +Lila says, "Yes, Mom, I want a lime too. Limes are yummy. And they make my mouth funny. Like this." She makes a face and sticks out her tongue. + +Mom laughs and gives them each a lime. They sit on the grass and eat their limes. They feel the juice on their lips and their teeth. They make funny faces and giggle. They forget about the hot slide. They are happy. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to Anna's house. Anna has a big house with many toys. Tom likes Anna's house. + +Anna shows Tom her toys. She has dolls, cars, blocks, and books. Tom wants to play with the cars. He picks up a red car and makes it go vroom. Anna says, "No, that is my car. You can play with the blue car." Tom says, "But I like the red car. It is faster and prettier." Anna says, "Too bad. It is mine. You have to share." + +Tom feels sad and angry. He thinks Anna is not fair. He says, "You have so many toys. Why can't I play with the red car? You can play with the other cars." Anna says, "Because it is my favorite car. I don't want to share it. It is my house. You have to do what I say." + +Tom does not want to play with Anna anymore. He says, "You are not a good friend. You are selfish and mean. I don't want to stay in your house. I want to go home." He puts down the blue car and walks to the door. + +Anna feels sorry and lonely. She realizes she was not fair. She says, "Wait, Tom. Don't go. I'm sorry. You can play with the red car. I can share. Please stay and play with me." She runs to Tom and gives him the red car. + +Tom smiles and hugs Anna. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. I'm sorry too. I can share. Let's stay and play together." They go back to the toys and have fun. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy car. They liked to make it go fast and beep its horn. But then the car stopped moving. Ben tried to push the button on the remote, but nothing happened. + +"Uh-oh, the car is broken," Ben said. + +"Maybe it needs new batteries," Lily said. + +They looked for new batteries in the drawer, but they could not find any. They felt helpless. They wanted to play with their car, but they could not make it work. + +They decided to ask their mom for help. They ran to the kitchen, where their mom was making a cake. + +"Mom, mom, can you help us?" Ben said. + +"What's wrong, sweeties?" their mom said. + +"Our car is broken. It won't move or beep. We need new batteries, but we don't have any," Lily said. + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "Don't worry, I have some extra batteries in my purse. Let me get them for you." + +She went to the living room and came back with four new batteries. She opened the remote and the car and replaced the old batteries with the new ones. + +"Here you go, try it now," she said. + +Ben and Lily pressed the button on the remote and the car came to life. It zoomed and honked and made them laugh. + +"Yay, it works! Thank you, mom, you are the best!" Ben and Lily said. + +"You're welcome, my loves. Now, can you please help me with the cake? I need you to stir the batter and put the sprinkles on top," their mom said. + +"Okay, mom, we will help you. We love cake!" Ben and Lily said. + +They put their car aside and followed their mom to the kitchen. They helped her with the cake and had fun. They were happy and grateful. +Tom and Mia were at the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. But today, the park was very busy. There were many other kids who wanted to play too. + +Tom and Mia had to wait for their turn on the swings. They did not like to wait. They started to complain. "Mom, we want to swing now!" they said. "Why do we have to wait? It is not fair!" + +Mom tried to calm them down. She said, "Tom and Mia, you have to be patient and share. There are other kids who want to swing too. You can play on the slide or the sandbox while you wait. Or you can sit on the bench and watch the birds." + +Tom and Mia did not want to play on the slide or the sandbox. They did not want to watch the birds. They wanted to swing. They did not listen to mom. They kept complaining. + +Then, they saw a big boy come to the swings. He was bigger than Tom and Mia. He pushed the other kids away and took the swing. He swung very high and fast. He did not let anyone else have a turn. He was very rude. + +Tom and Mia stopped complaining. They felt sorry for the other kids. They did not want to swing anymore. They wanted to help. They went to mom and said, "Mom, can we do something? That big boy is not nice. He is not sharing. He is making the other kids sad." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "Tom and Mia, you are very kind and brave. You can go and talk to the big boy. Maybe you can make him understand that sharing is fun. Maybe you can be his friend. But be careful and polite. Do you want to try?" + +Tom and Mia nodded. They held hands and walked to the big boy. They said, "Hello, big boy. We are Tom and Mia. We like to swing too. But we also like to share. Sharing is fun. You can have more friends. Do you want to share with us and the other kids? Do you want to be our friend?" + +The big boy looked at them. He was surprised. He did not expect anyone to talk to him. He did not have many friends. He felt lonely and bored. He did not know how to share. He said, "I don't know. I never shared before. I don't know how to be a friend. What do I have to do?" + +Tom and Mia smiled. They said, "It is easy. You just have to be nice and take turns. You can swing for a while, then let someone else swing. You can also play on the slide or the sandbox or watch the birds. You can talk and laugh and have fun. You can be happy. Do you want to try?" + +The big boy thought for a moment. He said, "OK. I will try. Maybe it will be fun. Maybe I will be happy. Maybe I will have friends. Thank you, Tom and Mia. You are very nice. You are my friends." + +Tom and Mia cheered. They said, "You are welcome, big boy. You are our friend too. Come on, let's go and play. Let's go and share. Let's go and have fun." + +They took the big boy by the hand and led him to the swings. They shared with the other kids. They played on the slide and the sandbox and watched the birds. They talked and laughed and had fun. They were happy. They were friends. + +Mom watched them from the bench. She was proud of Tom and Mia. She was glad they learned to be patient and kind. She was happy they made a new friend. She smiled and said, "What a wonderful day at the park!" +Lily and Ben liked to pretend they were animals. They used shapes to make masks and tails. Lily had a circle for a cat mask and a long rope for a cat tail. Ben had a triangle for a fox mask and a fluffy scarf for a fox tail. + +They ran around the garden, meowing and barking. They chased each other and hid behind the trees. They had a lot of fun. + +But then they saw a big dog next door. The dog was not modest. He was loud and mean. He barked at Lily and Ben and tried to jump over the fence. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped their shapes and ran inside the house. They hugged their mom and dad. + +"It's okay, sweeties," mom said. "The dog can't hurt you. He's just noisy." + +"Dad, can you make the dog go away?" Ben asked. + +"I can't, son," dad said. "But I can talk to his owner and ask him to keep him quiet." + +Lily and Ben felt better. They decided to pretend they were something else. They used shapes to make hats and crowns. Lily was a princess and Ben was a king. They ruled over the garden with kindness and grace. They had a lot of fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were in different places. Sometimes they were pirates, sometimes they were astronauts, sometimes they were fairies. + +One day, they decided to play in the big wardrobe. It was full of old clothes and hats and shoes. They thought it would be fun to dress up and make stories. + +"Let's be kings and queens," said Lily. She put on a long dress and a crown. "You can be my prince." + +"OK," said Ben. He found a coat and a hat. He also saw a sword. He liked swords. He took it and swung it around. + +"Careful!" said Lily. "You might break something." + +"I won't," said Ben. He stepped out of the wardrobe and pretended to fight a dragon. He made loud noises and moved fast. + +Lily followed him. She wanted to play too. But she tripped on her dress and fell down. She hurt her knee. She started to cry. + +"Ben, you made me fall!" she said. "You are a bad prince!" + +"I'm sorry, Lily," said Ben. He dropped the sword and ran to her. He saw the blood on her knee. He felt bad. He hugged her and said, "I didn't mean to. Are you OK?" + +Lily sniffed. She was still sad. But she saw that Ben was sorry. She hugged him back and said, "I'm OK. But don't play with the sword. It's not easy. It's dangerous." + +"OK," said Ben. He agreed. He didn't want to hurt Lily again. He said, "Let's play something else. Something easy and fun." + +"OK," said Lily. She smiled. She said, "Let's play with the teddy bears. They are soft and nice." + +"OK," said Ben. He smiled too. He said, "Let's go." + +They stepped back into the wardrobe and found their teddy bears. They played with them and made stories. They were happy. They were good friends. +Tim and Liz are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big bone in the grass. It is white and hard. It has two holes and some teeth. + +"What is this?" Tim asks. + +"It is a skull," Liz says. "It is from an animal that is not here anymore." + +"Wow, a skull!" Tim says. "Can we keep it?" + +"OK, but we have to be careful. It is old and might break," Liz says. + +They pick up the skull and carry it to the bench. They look at it and touch it. They pretend it is a dinosaur or a dragon. They make noises and laugh. + +A man walks by with a dog. The dog sees the skull and runs to it. It barks and tries to bite it. Tim and Liz are scared. They hold the skull tight. + +"Hey, stop that!" the man says. He pulls the dog away. "I'm sorry, kids. He likes bones." + +"That's OK," Tim says. "But this is our skull. We found it." + +The man smiles. He sees that they are playing. He says, "That's a nice skull. Where did you get it?" + +"We found it in the grass," Liz says. "It is from an animal that is not here anymore." + +The man nods. He says, "That's right. It is very old. It is from a deer. Do you know what a deer is?" + +Tim and Liz shake their heads. They do not know what a deer is. + +"A deer is an animal that has four legs and a tail. It has fur and horns. It lives in the woods and eats grass. It is very fast and shy. Sometimes, it bows its head to say hello or goodbye," the man says. + +He shows them a picture of a deer on his phone. Tim and Liz look at it. They see the horns and the fur. They see the skull and the bone. They understand. + +"Wow, a deer!" Tim says. + +"It is pretty," Liz says. + +The man says, "Yes, it is. But it is also wild. It does not like people or dogs. It likes to be free and safe. So, if you ever see one, you have to be quiet and mild. Do not scare it or chase it. Just watch it and enjoy it." + +Tim and Liz nod. They say, "OK, we will." + +The man says, "Good. Now, I have to go. Have fun with your skull. But remember, it is not a toy. It is a part of nature. Treat it with respect and care." + +He says goodbye and walks away with his dog. Tim and Liz say goodbye and bow their heads. They hold the skull and smile. They have learned something new. They have made a new friend. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They saw a big dog on the other side of the fence. The dog was barking and jumping. Lily and Ben were frightened. + +"Let's go inside," Lily said. "The dog is scary." + +"No, let's stay here," Ben said. "The dog can't get us. The fence is strong." + +Ben wanted to show Lily that he was brave. He picked up a stick and threw it at the dog. The dog caught the stick and ran away. + +"See? The dog is not scary. He just wants to play," Ben said. + +Lily was not sure. She saw the dog come back with the stick. The dog threw the stick over the fence. The stick landed near Lily and Ben. + +"Wow, the dog is smart," Ben said. "He wants us to throw the stick again." + +Ben picked up the stick and threw it back. The dog ran after it. Lily and Ben laughed. + +"Maybe the dog is not so scary," Lily said. "Maybe he is friendly." + +They threw the stick a few more times. The dog seemed happy. He wagged his tail and licked the fence. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked. + +Ben looked at the fence. It was high and had sharp points. He did not think they could reach the dog. + +"I don't think so," Ben said. "The fence is too high. And we don't know the dog. He might bite us." + +Lily nodded. She agreed with Ben. They decided to leave the stick for the dog and go inside. + +"Bye, dog," Lily said. "Maybe we can play again another day." + +"Bye, dog," Ben said. "You are a good dog. But you are too big. You weigh more than me and Lily together." +Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play outside in the park. There is a big tree in the park. The tree has many branches and leaves.

It looks fun." Mia says, "No, Tim. It is weak. It might break. It is not safe." + +Tim does not listen to Mia. He climbs the branch. He is happy. He says, "Look, Mia. I am so high. I can see everything." Mia says, "Tim, come down. The branch is weak. It might break. It is not safe." + +But Tim does not come down. He stays on the branch. He says, "No, Mia. I am fine. The branch is strong. It will not break. It is safe." + +But then, the branch breaks. It separates from the tree. Tim falls down. He is scared. He cries. Mia runs to him. She hugs him. She says, "Tim, are you okay? I told you the branch was weak. It separated from the tree. It was not safe." + +Tim says, "I am sorry, Mia. You were right. The branch was weak. It separated from the tree. It was not safe. I should have listened to you." + +Mia says, "It's okay, Tim. I am glad you are okay. I love you. You are my twin. We should always listen to each other." + +They hug each other. They say sorry to the tree. They go to their mom. She gives them a kiss. She says, "I am glad you are okay. You are my twins.

Are you okay?" Lily says. She runs to him and sees his wound. She feels sorry for him. She takes a cloth and wraps it around his finger. "It will be okay. Don't worry," she says. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind," Tom says. He hugs her and kisses her. He feels better. He smells the lemon. It is sour. He makes a funny face. "But I don't like lemon. It is too sour for me," he says. + +Lily laughs. She likes lemon. She thinks it is fresh and tasty. "That's okay. You don't have to eat it. I will make the salad with lemon for me, and with something else for you. What do you like?" she says. + +Tom thinks. He likes cheese. He likes cheese a lot. "Can you make the salad with cheese for me, please?" he says. + +"Sure, I can do that," Lily says. She smiles. She takes another knife and some cheese. She cuts the cheese and puts it in a bowl. She adds some lettuce and tomatoes. She mixes them well. She gives the bowl to Tom. "Here you go. A cheese salad for you," she says. + +Tom is happy. He takes the bowl and a fork.

They are a good team. +Lily was a tall girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna, who had long hair and a pink dress. Lily always kept Anna with her, even when she went to the toilet. + +One day, Lily was playing with Anna in her room, when she heard her mom call her. "Lily, it's time for lunch! Come downstairs, please!" + +Lily put Anna on her bed and ran to the door. She was hungry and wanted to eat. But she forgot to close the door behind her. + +Tommy was Lily's little brother, who liked to make trouble. He saw Lily's open door and sneaked into her room. He saw Anna on the bed and grabbed her. He thought Anna was a funny doll, and he wanted to keep her. + +He ran to the bathroom with Anna and threw her into the toilet. He laughed and flushed the water. He thought it was a fun game. + +Lily came back to her room after lunch and looked for Anna. She could not find her anywhere. She was sad and worried. She asked her mom, "Mom, have you seen Anna? She is my best doll, and I keep her with me always." + +Mom shook her head. "No, honey, I haven't seen her. Maybe she is hiding somewhere. Why don't you look in the bathroom?" + +Lily ran to the bathroom and opened the door. She saw Tommy sitting on the floor, playing with a toy car. She also saw the toilet, and she had a bad feeling. + +She looked inside the toilet and saw Anna's pink dress and long hair. She was shocked and angry. She yelled at Tommy, "Tommy, what did you do? You threw Anna in the toilet! She is not a toy, she is my friend! You are a bad boy!" + +Tommy looked up and saw Lily's face. He was scared and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know. I thought it was a game. Please don't be mad at me." + +Lily was still mad, but she also felt sorry for Tommy. She knew he was only a baby, and he didn't understand. She said, "Tommy, you have to be careful with other people's things. You can't keep them or throw them away. You have to ask first, and be gentle. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "I understand, Lily. I'm sorry. Can we be friends?" + +Lily sighed and said, "Yes, we can be friends. But you have to help me get Anna out of the toilet. She is wet and dirty, and she needs a bath." + +Tommy agreed and helped Lily get Anna out of the toilet. They took her to the sink and washed her with soap and water. They dried her with a towel and combed her hair. They gave her a hug and said, "We're sorry, Anna. We love you." + +Anna smiled and said, "I love you too."

They sat on the bench and drew. They had fun. They talked and laughed. They became friends. + +The moral of the story is: Don't judge people by their appearance. You can find new friends if you are kind and curious. +Lily likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Anna. Anna has a blue dress and long hair. Lily takes Anna everywhere she goes. + +One day, Lily's parent says, "Lily, it is time to take a bath. You are dirty from playing outside.

She thinks her parent will not find her there. + +But her parent is smart. Her parent knows where Lily is. Her parent says, "Lily, I can see you under the bed. Come out, please.

He stole Lily from Anna. + +When Anna was done playing, she went back to the bench. She looked for Lily, but she could not find her. She felt sad and scared. She asked her mom where Lily was. Her mom did not know. She said maybe someone took her by mistake. She said they should look for her and ask the other kids. + +They looked everywhere, but they could not find Lily. Anna started to cry. She missed Lily so much. She wished she had not left her alone. She wished she had told the truth to her mom and said she wanted to play with Lily. + +Then, they saw the rude boy. He was holding Lily and trying to take off her necklace. He did not see Anna and her mom. Anna recognized Lily and shouted, "That's my doll! Give her back!" The rude boy was surprised and scared. He dropped Lily and ran away. Anna ran and picked up Lily.

The one who catches more rice wins." + +Lily thinks the game sounds fun. She says, "OK, let's play rice toss. You go first, Ben." + +Ben nods. He takes a handful of rice and tosses it in the air. He opens his mouth and tries to catch the rice. But the rice is too small and too fast. He misses most of the rice. Only one rice lands in his mouth. The rest of the rice falls on the floor. + +Lily laughs. She says, "That was funny, Ben. But not very good. You only caught one rice. My turn." + +Lily takes a handful of rice and tosses it in the air. She opens her mouth and tries to catch the rice. But she is smarter than Ben. She does not toss the rice too high or too far.

I win again!" + +Ben is sad. He does not like to lose. He says, "That is not fair, Lily. You cheated. You did not toss the rice high enough. That is not original. That is boring." + +Lily is angry. She does not like to be called a cheater. She says, "I did not cheat, Ben. I played smart. You played silly. That is why you lost. And original does not mean hard. It means new and different. My way was new and different. Your way was old and same." + +Ben and Lily are not friends anymore. They are mad at each other. They do not want to play games anymore. They take their bowls of rice and go home. They do not say goodbye. They do not have fun. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books to have fun with.

There, they saw Sara's navy doll sitting on a shelf, next to a carton of milk. He had a big smile on his face. Sara was surprised and happy. She ran to the fridge and grabbed her navy doll. She said, "There you are, sailor! You are so silly! Why did you hide in the fridge?" + +Sara's navy doll said, "I wanted to have some fun and cool off. I'm sorry I made you cry, princess. I love you very much." Sara hugged her navy doll and said, "I love you too, sailor. You are my best friend." Sara's mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you found your navy doll, Sara. You are a very compassionate girl. You care about your dolls and their feelings. Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk, shall we?" Sara nodded and said, "Yes, please! That sounds yummy!" Sara, her mom, and her dolls went to the table and enjoyed their snack. They were all happy and had a lot of fun. +Lily and Ben were playing knights and dragons in the park. Lily had a big shield made of cardboard and Ben had a wooden sword. They pretended to fight the scary dragon that lived in the slide. + +"Roar!" the dragon said. "I will eat you, knights!" + +"No, you won't!" Lily said. "We are brave and strong!" + +She held up her shield and blocked the dragon's fire. Ben swung his sword and hit the dragon's tail. + +"Ow!" the dragon said. "That hurts!" + +The dragon was really Sam, their friend. He was wearing a green costume and a mask. He got up and took off his mask. + +"Can I play with you?" he asked. "Being a dragon is lonely." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They liked Sam, but they only had one shield and one sword. + +"Maybe we can share," Lily said. "You can have the shield for a while, and I can have the sword. Then we can swap." + +"Or we can take turns being the dragon," Ben said. "It looks fun to roar and breathe fire." + +Sam smiled. He was happy that Lily and Ben wanted to play with him. + +"Okay, let's share," he said. "But can I have the shield first? Your sword is smelly." + +Lily and Ben laughed. They gave Sam the shield and took the sword. They ran to the slide and started a new game. They had more fun when they shared. +Lily and Tom were playing in the yard. They saw a big pine tree with many green needles. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds. + +"Let's go up the tree," Tom said. "It will be fun." + +"OK," Lily said. "But be careful. The tree is very high." + +They climbed the tree, holding on to the branches. They saw a nest with three eggs. They heard a chirp. A bird was flying to the nest. + +"Look, a bird!" Lily said. "It is so pretty." + +"Shh, don't scare it," Tom said. "It is bringing food to the eggs." + +They watched the bird feed the eggs. They smiled. They felt happy. + +But then, they heard a loud crack. A branch broke under Tom's foot. He slipped and fell. He landed on the ground with a thud. + +"Tom!" Lily shouted. "Are you OK?" + +She climbed down the tree as fast as she could. She ran to Tom. He was lying on the grass. He was crying. He had a cut on his knee. It was bleeding. + +"Ow, ow, ow," Tom said. "It hurts. It hurts." + +Lily hugged him. She felt scared. She did not know what to do. + +"Help, help!" she yelled. "Tom is hurt. We need help." + +She hoped someone would hear her. She hoped someone would come and repair Tom's knee. She hoped Tom would be OK. She hoped the bird and the eggs would be OK too. She hoped they would never climb the pine tree again. It was too scary. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big cardboard box that they used as a house. They liked to pretend they were a family and do things like cook, read and sing. + +One day, a big dog came into the garden. It was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It saw the cardboard box and ran towards it. It wanted to play with it and bite it. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They ran into the cardboard box and closed the flap. They hoped the dog would go away. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom shouted. "This is our house!" + +But the dog did not listen. It barked and scratched at the cardboard. It made holes in it with its claws and teeth. It tried to enter the box and get Tom and Lily. + +Tom and Lily hugged each other. They were very sleepy. They had been playing all morning and had not eaten anything. They wished their mom would come and save them. + +But their mom did not come. She was inside the house, busy with her phone. She did not hear the dog or the children. She forgot about them. + +The dog entered the box and bit Tom and Lily. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. The dog hurt them very much. They stopped moving and breathing. + +The dog was happy. It had a new toy and a new snack. It licked its lips and wagged its tail. It lay down in the cardboard box and fell asleep. +Tom and Lily were playing outside with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses and cars with the blocks and the boxes. They were having a lot of fun. + +But then they saw some dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They knew that rain was coming soon. + +"Let's go inside, Lily," Tom said. "We need to prepare for the rain. We don't want our toys to get wet." + +"OK, Tom," Lily said. "But can we take some toys with us? I want to play with them more." + +Tom nodded. He was honest and kind. He helped Lily pick up some toys and put them in a bag. They left the rest of the toys in a safe place under a big tree. + +They ran inside the house and closed the door. They heard the rain start to fall. They saw the drops on the window. They were happy that they were dry and warm. + +They put the bag of toys on the floor and opened it. They smiled at each other. They continued to play with their toys. They were good friends. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big yellow taxi in the garage. It is their dad's taxi. He is not home. He is working. + +"Let's play with the taxi!" Sara says. "I will be the driver and you will be the passenger." + +"OK!" Ben says. He follows Sara to the taxi. Sara leads him to the back seat. She closes the door. Then she goes to the front seat. She pretends to start the engine. + +"Where do you want to go?" Sara asks. + +"I want to go to the park!" Ben says. + +"OK, park it is!" Sara says. She turns the wheel and makes honking noises. She looks at the mirror. She sees a dull sky. It is going to rain. + +"Oh no, it is raining!" Sara says. "We have to go back home!" + +"But I want to go to the park!" Ben says. + +"Sorry, we can't. It is too wet. Maybe tomorrow." Sara says. She turns the wheel again and makes braking noises. She stops the taxi. She opens the door. + +"Come on, let's go inside." Sara says. She leads Ben to the house. They leave the taxi in the garage. + +"Maybe we can play with the taxi again tomorrow." Ben says. + +"Maybe." Sara says. "But only if dad says yes." +Sam and Lily were playing with a big red ball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball high in the air and catch it. Sometimes they bounced it to each other and said, "Catch!" + +One time, Sam bounced the ball too hard and it went over the fence. Lily ran after it and saw a fat dog on the other side. The dog had the ball in its mouth and was shaking it. Lily was scared and said, "Hey, give me back my ball!" + +The dog looked at Lily and growled. It did not want to give up the ball. Lily did not know what to do. She saw a towel hanging on a clothesline nearby. She had an idea. She grabbed the towel and waved it at the dog. She said, "Look, a nice towel! Do you want to play with it?" + +The dog was curious and dropped the ball. It ran towards the towel and snatched it from Lily's hand. It started to chew on the towel and wag its tail. Lily was happy and quickly picked up the ball. She said, "Thank you, doggy! Bye-bye!" + +She ran back to Sam and showed him the ball. Sam was glad and said, "You are very smart, Lily! How did you get the ball back?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I used a towel to trick the dog. It was easy!" + +They hugged and continued to play with the ball. They had a lot of fun bouncing it in the park. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and dolls. One day, they find a big pink balloon in the park. They are very happy and want to take it home. + +"Look, Anna, a pink balloon! It is so pretty and big!" Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, it is! Let's share it and play with it!" Anna says. + +They hold the balloon by the string and walk to Anna's house. They are careful not to let go of the string. They support each other and help each other. + +But on the way, they see a mean dog. The dog barks and runs at them. It wants to bite the balloon and pop it. + +"Go away, dog! Leave us alone!" Anna shouts. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben says. + +They run as fast as they can, but the dog is faster. It jumps and snaps at the balloon. It catches the string with its teeth and pulls hard. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. + +The string cuts his finger and makes it bleed. He lets go of the string and holds his finger. The balloon flies away with the dog. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna asks. + +She sees his finger and feels sorry for him. She hugs him and tries to make him feel better. + +But Ben is very sad and angry. He lost his finger and his balloon. He does not want to hug Anna. He pushes her away and says: + +"Go away, Anna! It is your fault! You did not support me! You did not help me! You are a bad friend!" + +Anna is shocked and hurt. She does not understand why Ben is so mean to her. She did not do anything wrong. She only wanted to play with him and share the balloon. + +She starts to cry and runs away. She does not want to see Ben anymore. She feels alone and sad. + +The end. +Mila and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big book with many planets in it. They look at the book and learn new words. + +"Look, this is Earth. We live on Earth," Mila says. + +"And this is Mars. It is red and cold," Ben says. + +They turn the page and see a planet with rings. + +"What is this?" Mila asks. + +"This is Saturn. It has rings of ice and rocks," Ben says. + +He points at the picture and smiles. + +"I like Saturn. It is pretty," he says. + +He leans over and kisses the picture. + +Mila is surprised. She does not like Ben's kiss. + +"Hey, that is rude!" she says. + +She pushes Ben away and closes the book. + +"Why did you kiss Saturn? That is not nice. You should ask first," she says. + +Ben is confused. He does not understand why Mila is angry. + +"I just wanted to show Saturn I like it. What is wrong with that?" he says. + +Mila shakes her head. + +"You can't kiss planets. They are not alive. They are not like people or animals. They don't have feelings," she says. + +Ben feels sad. He likes planets. He thinks they are beautiful and interesting. + +"But I like planets. They are my friends. I want to hug them and kiss them," he says. + +Mila sighs. She tries to explain. + +"Planets are not your friends. They are very far away. You can't touch them or talk to them. You can only look at them and learn about them. They are different from us," she says. + +Ben still does not understand. He thinks Mila is wrong. + +"No, they are not different. They are like us. They have names and colors and shapes. They are part of our family. They are in the sky, like the sun and the moon and the stars," he says. + +He opens the book again and looks at Saturn. + +"I'm sorry, Saturn. I didn't mean to be rude. I just love you," he says. + +He kisses the picture again. + +Mila rolls her eyes. She thinks Ben is silly. + +She picks up another book and starts to read. + +She does not want to talk about planets anymore. +Sara liked to play with her shadow. She would run and jump and make funny shapes with her body. She would speak to her shadow and pretend it was her friend. She would say, "Hello, shadow. Do you want to play with me? You are very fast and big." + +But sometimes her shadow was stubborn. It would not do what Sara wanted. It would hide behind a tree or a wall or a chair. It would change its shape and size. It would not speak back to Sara. It would only copy her. Sara would get angry and say, "Shadow, you are not nice. You are not my friend. You are mean and silly." + +One day, Sara had a bright idea. She took a flashlight and went to her room. She turned off the light and closed the door. She shone the flashlight on the wall and made a shadow with her hand. She made a shadow of a rabbit, a bird, a dog and a cat. She spoke to the shadow and said, "Hello, shadow. Do you want to play with me? You are very cute and funny." + +The shadow did what Sara wanted. It nodded and wagged and flapped and hopped. It spoke back to Sara and said, "Hello, Sara. I want to play with you. You are very smart and kind." Sara was happy and said, "Shadow, you are nice. You are my friend. You are fun and sweet." + +Sara and the shadow played for a long time. They made more shadows and told stories and sang songs. They had a lot of fun. Sara forgot about her other shadow. She liked this shadow better. She said, "Shadow, you are the best. I love you."

She liked to run and play with her friends, but she was not happy. The farmer who owned her was very mean. He used a whip to make her work hard and did not give her enough food or water. He did not care if she was tired or hurt. He only wanted money. + +One day, a man came to the farm. He had a big truck and a kind smile. He said he wanted to buy Lila and take her to a new home. The farmer agreed, because he wanted more money. He put Lila in the truck and said goodbye. Lila was scared, but she hoped the man was nice. + +The man drove for a long time, until they reached a big city. Lila had never seen so many buildings and cars and people. She was amazed by all the modern things. The man took her to a stable, where there were many other horses. They were clean and healthy and happy.

You will never see a whip again. You are free to run and play and enjoy life. You are my friend." + +Lila felt a warm feeling in her heart. She nuzzled the man and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are very nice. You are my friend too." She looked around and saw the other horses smiling at her.

They have fun with Sara's toys, books, and puzzles. Sara says, "Do you want some cheese? I have a big cheese in the fridge. We can eat it together." Lily and Ben say, "Yes, please! We love cheese too." + +Sara goes to the kitchen and opens the fridge. She sees the big cheese, but she also sees something else. It is a small, furry, gray mouse.

He gets off the sofa and walks to the coin. + +But the coin is not a toy. It is hard and cold and heavy. Ben tries to bite it, but it hurts his teeth. He tries to roll it, but it does not move. He tries to scratch it, but it makes a loud noise. + +Ben does not like the coin. He is bored and tired. He wants to rest on the sofa again. He leaves the coin on the floor and goes back to the sofa.

They had a big mattress that they could jump on and pretend it was a boat or a castle. They also had a lot of toys and books that they could hang on the wall or on the shelf. + +One day, Jenny had an idea. She said to Ben, "Let's make a tent with the mattress and the blanket. We can hang the blanket from the shelf and put the mattress under it. Then we can hide inside and read stories." + +Ben thought it was a good idea. He helped Jenny hang the blanket from the shelf and put the mattress under it. They crawled inside the tent and picked a book.

We made a tent with the mattress and the blanket." + +Mom said, "That's very creative of you. But it's time for dinner now. You can play in your tent later. Come on, let's go." + +Jenny and Ben put the book down and crawled out of the tent. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They were hungry and happy. They did not know that their tent was not very stable. The blanket was too heavy for the shelf and the mattress was too big for the space.

The toys and books on the wall and the shelf also fell down and made a big mess. + +When Jenny and Ben came back to their room after dinner, they saw the mess and gasped. They felt sad and sorry. They said to Mom, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to break the shelf and make a mess. We just wanted to make a tent and read stories." + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, my loves. I know you did not mean to do it. But next time, be more careful with your things. And maybe use something lighter than a mattress and a blanket for your tent. How about a sheet and some pillows?" + +Jenny and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. We will do that next time. Can we help you clean up the mess?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can. And then we can read some more stories together. You are very popular with me, you know." + +Jenny and Ben smiled and said, "We love you, Mom." + +They helped Mom clean up the mess and then cuddled with her on the couch.

It had pictures of people doing exercise. They wanted to try some of the exercises too. + +They opened the book and saw a man lay on his back and lift his legs up and down. "This looks easy," said Lily. "Let's do it." She lay on the floor and lifted her legs. Max lay next to her and did the same. + +They saw a woman stand on one leg and touch her nose. "This looks fun," said Max. "Let's do it." He stood up and balanced on one leg. He touched his nose with his finger.

But Ben was curious. He reached for the button and pressed it. + +Suddenly, the rope started to move. The anchor lifted from the water and swung in the air. Lily and Ben were scared.

Lily said. + +They decided to go home and have a snack. They hoped to find something sweet and yummy to taste. They did not want to go back to the park for a while. They learned a lesson. They should not pick fruits from a tree they do not know. They should also be careful of dogs they do not know. They should always ask for help if they are in trouble. They should always stick together. They were glad they had each other. They were best friends. +Lily and Ben were going on a trip with Mom and Dad.

They could bounce it, roll it, throw it, and catch it. They had so much fun with the yellow ball. + +One day, their mom said it was time for dinner. She cooked some yummy food and put it on the table. She called Anna and Ben to come and eat. But they did not want to stop playing with the yellow ball. They said they were not hungry and ran away. + +Their mom was sad and angry. She said they had to eat their dinner or they would not grow strong and healthy. She said they had to be grateful for the food they had, because some children had none. She said they had to listen to their mom, because she loved them and knew what was best for them. + +Anna and Ben did not care. They kept playing with the yellow ball. They did not believe their mom. They thought they knew better. They thought they could do whatever they wanted. + +But then, something bad happened. The yellow ball bounced too high and went over the fence. They could not see it anymore. They could not reach it anymore. They lost their yellow ball. They were very sad and sorry. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had eaten their dinner. They wished they had their yellow ball back. + +They ran to their mom and hugged her. They said they were sorry for being naughty and rude. They said they were hungry and wanted to eat their dinner. They said they loved her and would listen to her. They said they learned their lesson. + +Their mom was happy and proud. She said she forgave them and loved them too. She said she was glad they learned their lesson. She said they could have their yellow ball back, if they promised to be good and respectful. She said she had found it in the neighbor's yard and brought it back for them. + +Anna and Ben were very happy and thankful. They promised to be good and respectful. They ate their dinner and enjoyed it. They played with their yellow ball and shared it. They believed their mom and trusted her. They were good twins. +Tom and Lily were having breakfast with their mom. They liked waffles with honey and butter. Mom made them big and fluffy. She gave them each two waffles on a plate. + +"Thank you, mom!" Tom and Lily said. + +"You're welcome, my sweeties. Eat up and then we can go to the park," mom said. + +Tom and Lily started to eat their waffles. They were yummy and warm. But then they saw something outside the window. It was a big, pale dog. It had long fur and a black nose. It looked hungry and sad. + +"Mom, look! A dog!" Tom said. + +"Where?" mom asked. + +"Outside the window. Can we feed it?" Lily asked. + +Mom looked outside the window. She saw the dog too. She frowned. + +"That's not a dog, my dears. That's a wolf. It must have escaped from the zoo. We have to stay inside and call the zookeepers," mom said. + +"A wolf? But it looks like a dog," Tom said. + +"It's not a dog, Tom. It's a wild animal. It can be dangerous. Don't go near it," mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for the wolf. They wondered why it escaped from the zoo. They hoped the zookeepers would find it and take it back. They finished their waffles and waited for mom to call the zookeepers. They watched the wolf from the window. It sniffed around the yard and then ran away. +Sara and Tom were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. They also liked to hear the sound of the waves. The waves were big and loud and made a whoosh sound. + +One day, Sara and Tom wanted to go into the water. They asked their mom and dad if they could. Their mom and dad said yes, but they had to stay close to them and not go too far. Sara and Tom nodded and ran to the water. They felt the water splash on their feet and legs. It was cold and wet and tickled. + +Sara and Tom laughed and jumped in the water. They tried to catch the waves with their hands. They had fun. But then, they saw a big wave coming. It was bigger than any wave they had ever seen. It looked like a mountain of water. Sara and Tom felt fearful. They did not want the wave to catch them. + +They turned around and ran to their mom and dad. They shouted, "Mom! Dad! Help! Big wave!" Their mom and dad heard them and saw the wave. They ran to Sara and Tom and grabbed them. They lifted them up and carried them away from the water. They hugged them and said, "It's okay. We're here. You're safe." + +Sara and Tom felt relieved and happy. They thanked their mom and dad and said they were sorry. Their mom and dad said they were not mad and that they loved them. They said they had to be careful at the beach and always listen to them. Sara and Tom said they would. They learned a lesson that day. They still liked to hear the sound of the waves, but they did not want to play with them anymore. +Lily and Ben were excited to go to the park. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They ran to the gate and saw a big zip line. They had never seen a zip line before. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "Can we try it?" + +Ben nodded. He wanted to try it too. They climbed up the ladder and grabbed the handles. Lily went first. She pushed herself off the platform and zipped across the air. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughed and shouted, "This is fun!" + +Ben watched her and smiled. He wanted to have fun too. He pushed himself off the platform and zipped after her. He was going faster and faster. He tried to slow down, but he couldn't. He saw Lily at the end of the zip line. She was waiting for him. She saw him coming too fast. She was scared. + +"Ben, stop!" Lily cried. "You're going to hit me!" + +But Ben couldn't stop. He crashed into Lily and they both fell off the zip line. They landed on the ground with a thud. They were hurt and sad. They cried and cried. + +A lady came and helped them. She was the park keeper. She was angry. + +"What were you doing on the zip line?" she asked. "That's not for children. That's for grown-ups. You could have been very hurt. You're lucky you're not broken. You're very naughty. You have to go home now." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They had made a big mistake. They wished they had not tried the zip line. They had not had fun. They had had a bad day. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the bath. They had many toys that could float and splash. They made bubbles and pretended to be fish. Sometimes they sang songs and told jokes. + +One day, Ben had a new idea. He saw the drain at the bottom of the tub. He asked Mia, "Do you want to see what happens if we pull the plug?" + +Mia was curious. She nodded and said, "Yes, let's try it." + +Ben reached for the plug and pulled it out. The water started to make a noise and swirl around. The toys began to move towards the drain. Ben and Mia watched in wonder. + +But then, Mia saw her favorite toy, a friendly duck, getting closer to the drain. She was afraid it would get lost. She cried out, "Ben, save my duck!" + +Ben heard Mia and quickly grabbed the duck. He held it tight and said, "Don't worry, Mia, I got it. It's safe." + +Mia was happy and hugged Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben, you are a good brother." + +Ben smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mia, you are a good sister." + +They put the plug back in and filled the tub with more water. They played with the duck and the other toys. They had fun and learned something new. +Lila and Ben are playing with a big box. They want to make a car out of the box. They cut out windows and doors with scissors. They draw wheels and lights with crayons. They need something to make the car move. + +"Look, I have a cable!" Ben says. He shows Lila a long, thin rope. "We can tie it to the box and pull it." + +"Good idea!" Lila says. She helps Ben tie the cable to the front of the box. They take turns pulling the box around the room. They pretend to drive to different places. They have fun. + +But then the cable breaks. It snaps in the middle. The box stops moving. + +"Oh no!" Lila and Ben say. They are sad. They want to keep playing. + +"Maybe we can fix it," Lila says. She tries to tie the two ends of the cable together. But it is too short. It does not reach. + +"Maybe we can find another cable," Ben says. He looks around the room. But he does not see any other cable. + +They are about to give up. But then they hear a knock on the door. It is their friend Sam. + +"Hi, Lila and Ben!" Sam says. He sees their box car. He thinks it is cool. "Can I play with you?" + +"Sure, Sam!" Lila and Ben say. They tell him about their cable problem. + +"I have a solution!" Sam says. He runs to his backpack. He takes out a long, thick cable. He got it from his dad, who works with computers. "You can use this cable. It is stronger and longer." + +"Wow, thank you, Sam!" Lila and Ben say. They are happy. Sam is generous. He shares his cable with them. They untie the old cable and tie the new cable to the box. They test it. It works. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lila and Ben say. They hug Sam. They succeed in making their car move again. They invite Sam to join them. They pull the box together. They drive to more places. They have more fun. They are good friends. The end. +Sam was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big truck, a red car, a yellow ball and a teddy bear. He liked to make noises with his toys and pretend they were driving or flying or bouncing. + +One morning, his mom came to his room and said, "Sam, it's time to wake up. The alarm is ringing. You have to go to school today." Sam did not want to go to school. He wanted to stay in bed and play with his toys. He said, "No, mom, I don't want to go. School is terrible. I don't like it." + +His mom said, "Sam, you have to go. School is good for you. You can learn new things and make new friends. You can also play with other kids and have fun. Come on, get up and get ready." She tried to pull his blanket, but Sam held it tight. + +Sam said, "No, mom, please. Let me stay. Just for today. I don't feel well. I have a tummy ache." He made a sad face and rubbed his belly. + +His mom looked at him and said, "Sam, are you sure you have a tummy ache? Or are you just pretending?" She touched his forehead and said, "You don't have a fever. You look fine to me." + +Sam said, "No, mom, I'm not pretending. I really have a tummy ache. It hurts a lot." He groaned and curled up in his bed. + +His mom said, "Sam, I don't believe you. You are lying to me. You are just scared of school. But you don't have to be scared. School is not terrible. It's fun and interesting. You can do many things there. You can draw, sing, read, write, count, play and more. You can also meet your teacher and your classmates. They are nice and friendly. They will help you and play with you. You will like them, I'm sure." + +Sam said, "But mom, I don't know them. They are strangers. What if they don't like me? What if they laugh at me? What if they are mean to me? I don't want to go with them. I want to stay with you and my toys. They are my friends. They don't make fun of me. They don't hurt me. They make me happy." + +His mom said, "Sam, you don't have to worry. They are not strangers. They are your new friends. They will not laugh at you or be mean to you. They will like you and be nice to you. They will make you happy too. You just have to give them a chance. You have to be brave and try. You have to go to school and see for yourself. Trust me, you will enjoy it. You will have a good time." + +Sam said, "But mom, I'm not brave. I'm scared. I don't want to try. I don't want to go. Please, mom, please. Let me stay. Just for today. Please, please, please." He begged and cried and hugged his teddy bear. + +His mom said, "Sam, enough. Stop crying and begging. You are not a baby. You are a big boy. You have to do what I say. You have to go to school. That's the rule. No more excuses. No more arguments. No more delays. Get up and get ready. Now." She said it in a loud and firm voice. She looked angry and serious. + +Sam was scared of his mom. He knew she meant it. He knew he had no choice. He knew he had to go to school. He sighed and let go of his blanket. He got up and got ready. He put on his clothes and his shoes. He brushed his teeth and his hair. He packed his bag and his lunch. He took his teddy bear and his yellow ball. He followed his mom to the car. He did not say a word. He did not smile. He did not look happy. + +His mom said, "Sam, are you ready to go to school? Are you excited to meet your teacher and your classmates? Are you looking forward to learning and playing?" She tried to sound cheerful and encouraging. + +Sam did not answer. He did not know what to say. He did not feel ready. He did not feel excited. He did not look forward. He felt nervous and sad. He shrugged and said, "I don't know, mom. I don't know." He hugged his teddy bear and his yellow ball. He hoped they would make him feel better. He hoped school would not be terrible. He hoped his mom was right. He hoped he would have a good time. +Anna liked to play with her coins. She had many coins of different colors and sizes. She liked to count them, stack them, and make them shine. She kept them in a big jar on her shelf. + +One day, Anna heard a loud noise in her room. She ran to see what it was. She saw a big, black cat on her shelf. The cat was playing with her coins. It knocked over the jar and the coins fell on the floor. The cat looked at Anna and hissed. + +Anna was scared of the cat. She wanted her coins back. She shouted, "Go away, cat! Those are my coins!" But the cat did not listen. It jumped off the shelf and ran towards Anna. + +Anna ran out of her room and closed the door. She ran to her mom and dad. She told them about the cat and the coins. They hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Anna. We will get rid of the cat and get your coins back." + +They went to Anna's room and opened the door. They saw the cat on the bed. It was not a big, black cat. It was a small, gray kitten. It had a coin in its mouth. It looked at them and meowed. + +Anna's mom and dad smiled. They said, "Look, Anna. It's not a scary cat. It's an adorable kitten. It just wanted to play with your coins. Maybe it was lonely and looking for a friend." + +Anna looked at the kitten. It was cute and fluffy. It dropped the coin and licked its paw. Anna felt sorry for the kitten. She said, "Maybe you're right, mom and dad. Maybe the kitten is not so bad. Can I keep it?" + +Anna's mom and dad looked at each other. They said, "Well, Anna, we don't know where the kitten came from. Maybe it has a home and a family. But we can try to find out. And if no one claims it, maybe we can adopt it." + +Anna was happy. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. You are the best." She went to the bed and petted the kitten. The kitten purred and rubbed its head against Anna's hand. Anna said, "I'm sorry I scared you, kitten. You can play with my coins if you want. But please don't knock over the jar. And please don't hiss at me. Let's be friends." + +The end. +Sara and Ben were playing with clay. They liked to make different shapes and animals with the clay. They had red, blue, yellow and green clay. + +Sara took some red clay and stretched it with her hands. She wanted to make a long snake. She rolled the clay on the table and made it longer and longer. She felt the texture of the clay. It was smooth and soft. + +Ben took some blue clay and stretched it too. He wanted to make a big worm. He twisted the clay and made it bumpy and curly. He felt the texture of the clay. It was rough and hard. + +"Look at my snake!" Sara said. "It is very long and smooth. I like it." + +"Look at my worm!" Ben said. "It is very big and rough. I like it." + +They put their clay animals next to each other on the table. They looked at them and smiled. + +Then, a naughty cat jumped on the table. The cat saw the clay animals and thought they were toys. The cat grabbed the snake and the worm with its paws and mouth. The cat bit the clay and chewed it. + +"Hey, stop it!" Sara and Ben shouted. "That is our clay! That is not your toy!" + +The cat did not listen. The cat spat out the clay. The cat made a face. The cat did not like the taste of the clay. The cat thought the clay was disgusting. + +Sara and Ben ran to the table. They saw their clay animals. They were broken and dirty. They were sad and angry. + +"Bad cat!" Sara and Ben said. "You ruined our clay! You are very naughty!" + +The cat ran away. The cat did not care. The cat looked for something else to play with. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the park. She had a ball, a doll, and a hat. She was happy when she played with her toys. + +One day, she saw a rat in the park. It was big and brown and had a long tail. Lily was scared of the rat. She wanted to run away, but she could not move. She was frozen with fear. + +The rat saw Lily and ran towards her. It wanted to bite her and take her toys. Lily cried for help, but no one heard her. She wished she had a friend to save her. + +Then, she heard a bark. It was Rex, the dog who lived near the park. Rex was brave and strong. He liked to chase rats and make them go away. He saw Lily and the rat and ran to help her. + +Rex barked loud and jumped on the rat. The rat was scared of Rex and ran away. Rex licked Lily and wagged his tail. Lily was happy and hugged Rex. She thanked him for saving her and gave him her hat. + +Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that rats are bad and dogs are good. She also learned that it is good to have friends who can help you when you are in trouble. She and Rex became best friends and played in the park every day. +Ben and Mia like to play with their toy boat. They pretend it is a big ship that can sail to faraway lands. They fill the boat with their jewelry: shiny rings, necklaces, and bracelets. They say the jewelry is their treasure. + +One day, they take their boat to the pond in the park. The water is clear and calm. They put their boat in the water and watch it sail. They make sounds like waves and wind. They are happy. + +But then, a big duck swims by. It sees the boat and the jewelry. It thinks they are food. It pecks at the boat and tries to grab the jewelry. Ben and Mia are scared. They shout at the duck. + +"Go away, duck! That is our boat and our treasure! You cannot have them!" + +The duck does not listen. It keeps pecking and grabbing. Ben and Mia run to the pond and try to get their boat back. They splash the water and wave their arms. The duck is angry. It quacks and flaps its wings. + +A man sees the children and the duck. He comes to help. He has bread in his hand. He throws some bread to the duck. The duck likes the bread. It stops pecking and grabbing. It swims away with the bread. Ben and Mia are relieved. They thank the man. + +"Thank you, mister! You saved our boat and our treasure!" + +The man smiles. He helps them get their boat out of the water. He looks at their jewelry. He says they are very pretty. + +"You have a nice boat and a nice treasure. But be careful with the ducks. They might think they are food. Next time, bring some bread for them. They will like that more." + +Ben and Mia nod. They say they will. They hug their boat and their jewelry. They are happy again. They say goodbye to the man. They go home with their boat and their treasure. They have a new story to tell. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big doll that was a queen. The queen had a shiny crown and a long dress. Lily loved her queen doll very much. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, we are going to visit grandma. You can bring one toy with you. Which one do you want to bring?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to bring her queen doll, but she was afraid that she might lose her or break her. The queen doll was very hard and heavy.

I will be back soon. You can stay here and watch over the other dolls. You are the best queen ever." + +Lily and her mom got in the car and drove to grandma's house.

You are a good friend to your queen doll. Maybe next time you can bring her with you. I would love to see her." + +Lily nodded and hugged her teddy bear. She was happy to visit grandma, but she also missed her queen doll. She hoped that her queen doll was not lonely or sad. She couldn't wait to see her again. +Anna likes to do crafts with her mom. They have many things to make pretty pictures and toys. Anna likes to use string the most. She can make necklaces, bracelets, and belts with string. She can also tie string to other things, like paper, buttons, and feathers. + +One day, Anna and her mom go to the market. They see many things to buy. They see fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and meat. They also see spices. Spices are things that make food taste different. Some spices are sweet, some are sour, and some are spicy. Spicy means hot and strong. + +Anna is curious about spices. She wants to try them. She sees a jar of red powder. She thinks it looks like sand. She asks her mom if she can touch it. Her mom says no, it is spicy. It can hurt her fingers and mouth. Anna does not listen. She sneaks her hand to the jar and takes some powder. She rubs it on her fingers and then puts them in her mouth. + +Anna feels a fire in her mouth. She screams and cries. The powder is very spicy. It hurts her tongue and lips. She runs to her mom and asks for water. Her mom gives her water and hugs her. She tells her to never touch spices without asking. She says spices are not for playing, they are for cooking. + +Anna learns her lesson. She says sorry to her mom and the seller. She does not touch spices anymore. She only plays with string and other safe things. She makes a necklace with string and beads for her mom. She gives it to her mom and says she loves her. Her mom smiles and says she loves her too. They go home and have a nice lunch. They do not eat spicy food. +Sam was a big boy who liked to help his mom. One day, his mom asked him to mail a letter for her. She gave him the letter and a wallet with some coins. She told him to go to the blue box on the corner and put the letter inside.

They had a drum, a flute, and a bell. They wanted to make a song for their mom and dad, but they did not know how. + +They tried to play together, but their sounds were not good. They made a lot of noise, but no rhythm. They were sad and frustrated. + +"Maybe we need a leader," Lily said. "Someone who can tell us when to play and when to stop." + +"OK, you be the leader," Ben said. "You have the drum. You can make the beat." + +Lily nodded and picked up the drum. She tapped it softly, then louder, then softly again. She made a pattern with her drum. She looked at Ben and said, "Now you play the flute. Follow my drum. Play when I play loud, and stop when I play soft." + +Ben did as Lily said. He blew the flute when Lily tapped the drum loud, and stopped when she tapped it soft. He made a melody with his flute. He smiled and said, "This sounds better. We have a rhythm." + +Lily smiled back and said, "Yes, we do. Now let's add the bell. You play the bell, and I play the flute. We will follow the drum." + +They switched their instruments and played again. They followed the drum's pattern, and added their own sounds. They made a harmony with their bell and flute. They laughed and said, "This sounds great. We have a song." + +They played their song for their mom and dad, who clapped and cheered. They were proud and happy. They learned that they could solve their problem by working together and listening to each other. They also learned that music was fun and wild.

"I like teddy bears more than you." + +"No, it is for me," Jill said. "I like pink more than you." + +They started to pull the teddy bear from each other. They did not want to share. The teddy bear looked sad. + +Mom and Dad arrived home and saw the twins fighting. They were not happy. + +"Stop it, Jill and Ben!" Mom said. "Why are you fighting over the teddy bear?" + +"It is mine!" Jill said. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said. + +Mom and Dad shook their heads. They took the teddy bear from the twins and looked at the tag. It said: "To Jill and Ben, from Grandma and Grandpa. We hope you like this teddy bear. It can wink at you and make you smile. But it only winks when you are kind and share with each other. Love, Grandma and Grandpa." + +Mom and Dad read the tag to the twins. They felt sorry for being selfish. They hugged each other and said sorry. + +"Can we play with the teddy bear together?" Jill asked. + +"Of course," Ben said. "It is for both of us." + +They took the teddy bear and thanked Mom and Dad. They gave the teddy bear a big hug.

She likes to go fast and high and feel the wind in her hair. She always takes her pet dog, Spot, with her. Spot likes to run and chase the birds and the squirrels. + +One day, Lily and Spot went to the park with Lily's mom. Lily ran to the swing and asked her mom to push her. Spot ran to the grass and barked at the animals. Lily and Spot had a lot of fun. + +But after a while, Lily and Spot got tired. Lily's legs felt heavy and her arms felt sore. Spot's tongue hung out and his tail stopped wagging. Lily's mom said it was time to go home. Lily and Spot agreed. + +Lily got off the swing and hugged her mom. Spot came to Lily and licked her face. Lily and Spot walked slowly to the car. They were happy, but they were also sleepy. They both fell asleep on the way home. They dreamed of swinging and running in the park. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They also liked to look for hidden things. They found a big bin near the fence. It was full of old things. + +"Let's see what's in the bin," Sam said. He climbed on the bin and looked inside. + +"Be careful, Sam," Lily said. She stood on the ground and watched. + +Sam saw a lot of things in the bin. He saw a broken toy, a dirty hat, a torn book and a shiny ball. He reached for the ball. + +"Look, Lily, a ball!" he said. He threw the ball to Lily. + +Lily caught the ball and smiled. It was red and blue and had stars on it. She bounced it on the ground. + +"Wow, it's a nice ball," she said. "Can we keep it?" + +Sam nodded. He jumped off the bin and joined Lily. They played with the ball for a while. They kicked it, rolled it and threw it. + +They had fun with the ball. They did not see the man who came out of the house near the fence. He was angry. He saw the bin and the ball. + +"Hey, you kids, get away from my bin!" he shouted. "That's my ball! Give it back!" + +Sam and Lily were scared. They did not know the man. They did not know the ball was his. They dropped the ball and ran away. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her what happened. + +"It's okay, Sam and Lily," mom said. "You did not mean to take the man's ball. You were just curious. But you should not play with things in the bin. They might be dirty or dangerous. Next time, ask before you touch." + +Sam and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They hugged mom and said sorry. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them. She gave them a snack and a drink. They felt better. + +They decided to play with their own toys. They had a lot of toys. They included a doll, a car, a puzzle and a book. They shared their toys and played nicely. They did not need the ball. They had each other. They were happy. +Tom and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. Tom liked the lions best. He wanted to grab their tails and play with them. Lily liked the monkeys best. She wanted to feed them bananas and make them laugh. + +"Look, Mom, the lions are sleeping!" Tom said, pointing at the big cats. + +"Shh, don't wake them up, Tom. They need to rest," Mom said, holding his hand. + +"Look, Dad, the monkeys are swinging!" Lily said, jumping up and down. + +"Wow, they are very fast and clever, Lily. Do you want to give them a banana?" Dad said, taking one from his bag. + +"Yes, please!" Lily said, grabbing the banana and running to the fence. + +She threw the banana over the fence and watched the monkeys catch it. One of them peeled it and ate it. Then it threw the peel back at Lily. It hit her on the head and made her dirty. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily said, rubbing her head. + +"Ha ha, the monkey is funny!" Tom said, laughing. + +"Come on, kids, let's go see the elephants. Maybe they will be nicer to you," Mom said, wiping Lily's head with a tissue. + +"Okay, Mom. But I still like the monkeys," Lily said, smiling. + +"I still like the lions," Tom said, looking back at them. + +They walked to the elephants and saw them spray water with their trunks.

We were pretending to go to the moon." + +Mom shook her head. "You have very big imaginations, but you also need to be careful. Come on, let's go home and wash up. Then you can have some sandwiches and juice." + +Ben and Mia followed their mom. They were hungry and thirsty.

But next time, let's find a safer place to be adventurous." + +They got home and ate their lunch. Then they went to their room and relaxed. They read some books and played with their toys.

I want to talk and sing and laugh. I want to have fun." Lila said. + +"I know, Lila. But we have to be polite and follow the rules. We can talk and sing and laugh when we get to the zoo.

She thought maybe if she changed her dress, the itch would go away. She went to her closet and took out all her dresses. She tried on one dress after another, but none of them made the itch go away. In fact, some of them made the itch worse. She threw the dresses on the floor and cried. + +Then she saw a dress that she had never worn before. It was a simple dress, made of soft cotton. It had no buttons, no zippers, no lace, no ribbons. It was just a plain dress, but it looked cozy and comfortable. Sara put on the dress and felt a relief. The itch was gone. She smiled and hugged the dress. She realized that she did not need so many dresses to be happy. She just needed a dress that fit her well and did not make her itch. She decided to give away some of her dresses to other girls who did not have any. She thought that maybe they would like them more than she did. She felt good about herself and her dress. She went to find her mom, her dad, her nanny and her dog, and show them her new dress. She hoped they would like it too. +Lily and Ben liked to play with fire. They found a box of matches in the kitchen and took it to the backyard. They lit some leaves and sticks and watched them burn. They thought it was fun and pretty. + +But then the fire grew bigger and bigger. It reached the fence and the shed. It made a lot of smoke and noise. Lily and Ben got scared. They tried to put out the fire with water, but it was too late. The fire was too strong. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "Fire! Fire!" + +Mom and Dad heard them and ran outside. They saw the fire and called the firemen. They were very angry and worried. They grabbed Lily and Ben and took them away from the fire. + +"What have you done?" Mom asked. "Why did you play with matches? Do you know how dangerous that is?" + +Lily and Ben felt very bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They saw the firemen put out the fire. They saw the fence and the shed turn into ash. They saw the light of the fire go away. + +They looked at Mom and Dad and said, "We are sorry. We regret playing with fire. We didn't mean to make a mess. We won't do it again." + +Mom and Dad hugged them and said, "We are glad you are safe. But you have to be more careful. Fire is not a toy. It can hurt you and others. You have to learn from your mistake." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned a lesson that day. They never played with fire again. +Ben and Lily were very excited to watch a film with their dad. It was a film about a big green dinosaur who had many friends. They put on their pajamas and got some popcorn and juice. They sat on the couch and waited for the film to start. + +But the film was very long and slow. Ben and Lily soon got bored and tired. They started to yawn and rub their eyes. They did not care about the dinosaur or his friends. They wanted to go to bed. + +Their dad noticed that they were sleepy. He said, "Do you want to stop the film and go to bed?" Ben and Lily nodded. They did not want to hurt their dad's feelings, but they did not like the film. They got up and hugged their dad. He smiled and said, "Maybe we can watch a different film tomorrow. One that is more fun and fast." + +He turned off the TV and took them to their room. He tucked them in and kissed them goodnight. He said, "I love you, Ben and Lily. Sweet dreams." He turned off the light and left. + +Ben and Lily closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of a distant land where they had their own adventures. They did not need a film to have fun. They had each other. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They pretended they were chefs and served their pies to each other. + +"Here, try this one. It has worms and rocks in it. Yummy!" Lily said, holding a mud pie in her hand. + +"Yuck! No, thank you. That is weird. I don't want to eat worms and rocks. I want to drink water. I am thirsty." Ben said, making a face. + +"Water is boring. Mud is fun. Look, I can drink mud. Watch me!" Lily said, scooping some mud with her hand and bringing it to her mouth. + +"No, Lily, don't do that! That is bad for you. Mud is dirty and can make you sick. Stop it!" Ben said, trying to stop her. + +But it was too late. Lily drank some mud and made a funny noise. She spit it out and coughed. She felt something in her throat and her stomach. She did not like it at all. + +"Ugh! That was gross. I don't like mud. It tastes bad and hurts. You were right, Ben. Water is better. Can we go get some water, please?" Lily said, feeling sorry. + +"Sure, Lily. Let's go get some water. And next time, don't drink mud, okay? It is not good for you. It is only good for making pies." Ben said, holding her hand. + +They walked to the fountain and drank some water. They felt better and smiled. They learned their lesson. They decided to play something else. They liked to play in the park. But they did not like to drink mud. +One day, Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were fairies and had magic wands. They made up spells and waved their sticks at the flowers and the bugs. + +"Look, I made the bee fly faster!" Lily said. + +"No, you didn't. That's not a real spell. You have to say the magic words!" Ben said. + +"What are the magic words?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. You have to make them up. Like this: Bim bam boom, make the rose bloom!" Ben said, pointing his stick at a bud. + +Suddenly, the bud opened and a real fairy came out. She had wings and a dress and a crown. She looked at Lily and Ben and smiled. + +"Hello, children. Thank you for waking me up. I was sleeping in the rose for a long time. You have incredible imaginations. Do you want to play with me?" the fairy said. + +Lily and Ben were very surprised and happy. They nodded and said yes. The fairy flew around them and sprinkled some dust on their sticks. + +"Now your wands are real. You can do real magic with them. But be careful, don't use them for bad things. Only for good things. And don't tell anyone about me. I'm a secret fairy. Do you promise?" the fairy said. + +Lily and Ben promised. They played with the fairy for a while. They made the flowers grow bigger and the bugs dance. They had a lot of fun. They felt like they were in a dream. + +But then they heard their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Come on, kids. It's time to eat. Put away your toys and wash your hands," their mom said. + +Lily and Ben looked at the fairy. They didn't want to leave her. + +"Can we play with you again?" Lily asked. + +"Of course. I'll be here whenever you want. Just say the magic words and I'll come out. But remember, don't tell anyone. And be good. Bye bye, children," the fairy said. + +She kissed them on their cheeks and flew back into the rose. Lily and Ben waved goodbye and ran to the house. They put their sticks in a safe place and washed their hands. They didn't tell their mom about the fairy. They kept her as their secret friend. They couldn't wait to play with her again. They felt like they had the most incredible day ever. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they want to make a movie. They have a camera and some toys. + +"What is our movie about?" Lily asks Ben. + +"Let's make a movie about a princess and a dragon," Ben says. He likes dragons. He has a toy dragon. + +"OK, I will be the princess and you will be the dragon," Lily says. She likes princesses. She has a dress and a crown. + +They go to the garden. They find a big rock. Lily climbs on the rock. She puts on her dress and her crown. She looks like a princess. + +Ben holds his toy dragon. He makes it fly around the rock. He makes it roar. He looks like a dragon. + +Lily raises her hand. She pretends to have a magic wand. She says, "Stop, dragon! You cannot hurt me. I have magic." + +Ben stops his toy dragon. He says, "Oh, no! You are a powerful princess. I am sorry. Can we be friends?" + +Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, we can be friends. Come here, dragon. Let's have a tea party." + +They put down their camera. They go to the rock. They have a tea party with their toys. They are happy. They are creative. They made a movie. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. It was a sunny day and they liked to run and slide and swing. Anna had a pair of sunglasses that she got from her mom. She thought they were very cool and pretty. + +"Look at my sunglasses, Ben!" Anna said. She put them on and smiled. "They make me look like a star!" + +Ben looked at Anna and frowned. He did not have sunglasses. He wanted to have sunglasses too. He thought Anna was showing off. + +"I don't like your sunglasses, Anna," Ben said. He crossed his arms and turned away. "They are too big and too dark. They make you look pale and silly." + +Anna was hurt by Ben's words. She liked her sunglasses and she wanted Ben to like them too. She took them off and looked at Ben. + +"Why are you being mean, Ben?" Anna asked. She felt tears in her eyes. "I just wanted to share my sunglasses with you. You can try them on if you want." + +Ben felt sorry for making Anna sad. He did not mean to be mean. He was just jealous of her sunglasses. He looked at Anna and saw that she was still his friend. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. He walked back to Anna and hugged her. "You are not pale and silly. You are bright and nice. Can I try your sunglasses, please?" + +Anna smiled and wiped her tears. She gave her sunglasses to Ben and watched him put them on. He looked funny and cute. + +"You look like a star, Ben!" Anna said. She laughed and clapped her hands. "Do you like them?" + +Ben nodded and grinned. He liked the sunglasses. He liked Anna more. + +"Thank you, Anna," Ben said. He gave the sunglasses back to Anna and held her hand. "You are a good friend. Can we play some more?" + +Anna nodded and squeezed his hand. She was happy again. + +"Yes, Ben," Anna said. "Let's play some more. We can take turns with the sunglasses. They are for both of us." + +They ran and slid and swung together. They wore the sunglasses and felt like stars. They had fun and forgot their fight. They were the best of friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be pizza chefs. They use cardboard, paper and crayons to make pizza. + +"Look, I made a cheese pizza!" Tom says. He shows Mia his pizza. It has yellow paper for cheese and red circles for pepperoni. + +"That looks yummy!" Mia says. She makes a pizza too. She uses green paper for spinach and purple paper for olives. + +"Let's perform for Mom and Dad!" Tom says. He puts his pizza on a plate. Mia does the same. They carry their plates to the living room. + +"Hello, we are pizza chefs!" Tom says. He smiles at Mom and Dad. "We made pizza for you!" + +Mia says, "This is spinach and olive pizza. It is very healthy and tasty!" + +Mom and Dad clap their hands. They pretend to eat the pizza. + +"Mmm, this is delicious!" Mom says. "You are very good pizza chefs!" + +Dad says, "This is tough pizza. It makes me strong!" He flexes his muscles. + +Tom and Mia laugh. They are happy. They like to perform for Mom and Dad. They like to make pizza. +Lily likes to observe things. She likes to look at the sky, the trees, the birds, and the bugs. She likes to learn new things and ask questions. + +One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big board with many colors and shapes on it. She runs to the board and touches it. It is smooth and hard. She sees a friendly boy next to the board. He has a stick in his hand. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. What are you doing?" she asks. + +"Hi, I'm Max. I'm drawing on the board. Do you want to try?" he says. + +"Yes, please!" Lily says. She takes the stick from Max and draws a circle on the board. Then she draws a smiley face inside the circle. + +"Wow, that's a nice face!" Max says. + +"Thank you. You are very nice too!" Lily says. + +They draw more things on the board together. They draw a sun, a flower, a car, and a cat. They have fun and laugh. They observe each other's drawings and learn new words. + +Lily and Max become friends. They share the stick and the board. They observe the world and each other. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the basement. They found a box of old things. In the box, there was a toy gun, a candle, and a filthy hat. + +"Look, I found a gun!" Ben said. He picked up the toy gun and pointed it at Lily. "Bang, bang, you are dead!" + +Lily was scared. She did not like the gun. She hid behind the candle. "Stop it, Ben! That is not nice!" + +Ben laughed. He liked to make Lily scared. He moved closer to the candle. He wanted to shoot it. He thought it would be fun. + +But the candle was not a toy. It was a real candle. It had a flame. Ben did not see the flame. He pulled the trigger. The toy gun made a loud noise. The flame jumped. The candle fell. The hat caught fire. + +"Help, help!" Ben and Lily screamed. They ran to the door. They smelled smoke. They saw fire. They were very scared. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise. They came to the basement. They saw the fire. They grabbed a bucket of water. They threw the water on the fire. They put out the fire. + +They were angry. They were worried. They hugged Ben and Lily. They checked if they were hurt. + +"What were you doing?" Mom asked. "Why did you play with the candle and the gun?" + +Ben and Lily were sorry. They did not know the candle was real. They did not know the gun was loud. They did not know the hat was filthy. + +"We were just playing," Ben said. "We did not mean to make a fire." + +Mom and Dad sighed. They were glad Ben and Lily were safe. They were glad the fire was small. They were glad they had a bucket of water. + +They took Ben and Lily upstairs. They gave them a bath. They gave them a snack. They gave them a hug. + +They told them to never play with candles and guns again. They told them to be careful with old things. They told them to be nice to each other. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to Mom and Dad. They said sorry to each other. + +They did not play with candles and guns anymore. They played with books and blocks. They played with dolls and cars. They played with love and fun. +Molly was a squirrel who liked to collect acorns. She had a big pile of acorns in her nest, but she always wanted more. She thought acorns were very attractive and tasty. + +One day, she saw a shiny acorn on the ground. It was bigger and brighter than any acorn she had ever seen. She wanted it very much. She ran towards it, but she did not see that another squirrel was also running towards it. His name was Max, and he also liked acorns. + +Molly and Max reached the acorn at the same time. They both grabbed it with their paws and pulled. They both wanted the acorn for themselves. They started to fight and shout. + +"Let go of my acorn!" Molly said. + +"No, it's mine!" Max said. + +They pulled and pulled, but the acorn did not move. They did not notice that the acorn was not a real acorn. It was a fake acorn that someone had put on the ground as a joke. It was made of metal and it was stuck to the ground with glue. + +As they fought, a big shadow fell over them. They looked up and saw a hawk flying above them. The hawk was hungry and it saw two squirrels fighting over an acorn. It thought they would make a good meal. It swooped down to catch them. + +Molly and Max saw the hawk and they were very scared. They let go of the acorn and ran away as fast as they could. They hid under a bush and hoped the hawk would not find them. + +They realized that they had been silly and greedy. They had wasted their time and energy on a fake acorn and they had put themselves in danger. They decided to share their real acorns and be friends. They learned that it is better to choose wisely and not to judge by appearances. +One day, an adventurous boy named Max went to the park with his mom. He liked to run and play and climb on the swings and slides. He saw a big hill with some trees and rocks and wanted to explore it. + +"Mom, can I go to the hill?" he asked. + +"OK, but be careful and don't go too far," his mom said. + +Max ran to the hill and started to look around. He found a small cave under a big rock and decided to go inside. He was not afraid of the dark. He had a flashlight in his pocket. + +He walked into the cave and saw something shiny and colorful. It was a dragon! The dragon was sleeping on a pile of gold and jewels. Max was very surprised and curious. He wanted to touch the dragon and see if it was real. + +He tiptoed closer to the dragon and reached out his hand. But the dragon opened one eye and saw Max. The dragon was not happy to see a stranger in his cave. He roared and breathed fire at Max. + +"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the dragon said. + +Max was scared and dropped his flashlight. He tried to run away, but the dragon blocked the exit. + +"Please don't hurt me, Mr. Dragon. I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your home. I just wanted to see you. You are very beautiful and cool," Max said. + +The dragon looked at Max and saw that he was just a little boy. He was not a thief or a hunter. He was just curious and adventurous. The dragon felt sorry for Max and calmed down. + +"Thank you for your compliment, little boy. I'm sorry I scared you. I don't get many visitors here. Most people are afraid of me or want to take my treasure. What is your name?" the dragon said. + +"My name is Max. What is your name?" Max said. + +"My name is Blaze. I'm a fire dragon. Do you want to be my friend?" Blaze said. + +"Yes, I want to be your friend. You are very nice and awesome," Max said. + +Blaze smiled and moved aside. He let Max come closer and touch his scales and horns. He showed him his treasure and told him stories about his adventures. Max listened and asked questions. He learned a lot about dragons and had fun. + +They became friends and talked for a long time. Then Max remembered his mom and looked at his watch. It was time to go back. + +"Blaze, I have to go now. My mom is waiting for me. Can I come back and see you again?" Max said. + +"Of course, Max. You are always welcome here. But don't tell anyone about me. I don't want to be in trouble. And be careful on your way out. The cave is dark and slippery," Blaze said. + +"OK, Blaze. I won't tell anyone. And I'll be careful. Thank you for being my friend. Bye," Max said. + +"Bye, Max. See you soon," Blaze said. + +Max hugged Blaze and ran out of the cave. He found his flashlight and went back to the park. He saw his mom and waved at her. + +"Hi, Mom. I had a great adventure. I met a new friend. He is very special," Max said. + +"Really? Who is your friend?" his mom said. + +Max smiled and said, "He is a dragon." +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. But today, Lily was restless. She wanted to do something new and fun. + +"Let's go to the zoo!" she said to Ben. + +Ben shook his head. He did not like the zoo. He was afraid of the big animals. He liked the park. He liked to swing and slide and run. + +"No, thank you," he said to Lily. "The park is nice. The zoo is scary." + +Lily did not listen. She insisted. She pulled Ben by the hand. She said, "Come on, Ben. The zoo is not scary. The zoo is fun. You will see the monkeys and the elephants and the giraffes. They are cute and funny. You will like them." + +Ben did not want to go. He tried to pull back. He said, "No, Lily. I don't want to see the monkeys and the elephants and the giraffes. They are big and loud and mean. They will bite me and chase me and hurt me." + +Lily and Ben argued. They did not agree. They were not happy. + +Then, they saw a man with a cart. He was selling peanuts. He smiled at them and said, "Hello, kids. Do you want some peanuts? They are crunchy and tasty and good for you." + +Lily and Ben stopped arguing. They looked at the peanuts. They liked peanuts. They nodded at the man. They said, "Yes, please. We want some peanuts." + +The man gave them each a bag of peanuts. He said, "Here you go, kids. Enjoy your peanuts. And have a nice day." + +Lily and Ben thanked the man. They opened their bags. They ate their peanuts. They were crunchy and tasty and good for them. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They smiled. They forgot about the zoo and the park. They were happy. + +They decided to share their peanuts with the birds and the squirrels. They threw some peanuts on the ground. They watched the birds and the squirrels come and eat them. They laughed and clapped. + +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. And sometimes, they liked to eat peanuts. +Lily was nervous. She had to stand in front of many people and say a poem. She knew the poem by heart, but she was afraid she would forget or make a mistake. + +"Are you ready, Lily?" her teacher asked. She smiled and held Lily's hand. + +Lily nodded, but she felt her heart beat fast. She saw her mom and dad in the crowd. They waved and smiled at her. She wanted to make them proud. + +She walked to the stage with her teacher. She saw a big microphone. She had to speak into it. She felt a lump in her throat. + +She heard her teacher say her name. She heard people clap. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. + +"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are," she began. She said the words slowly and clearly. She looked at the sky and imagined the stars. She felt more calm and confident. + +"Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky," she continued. She saw her mom and dad nod and smile. She felt happy and proud. + +"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are," she finished. She heard people clap louder. She heard her teacher say "Well done, Lily!" She heard her mom and dad say "We love you, Lily!" + +She smiled and bowed. She felt relieved and joyful. She had done it. She had said the poem. She knew she could do anything. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together, but they are also competitive. They want to be the best at everything. Sometimes they fight and make a lot of noise. + +One day, they find a big boot in the backyard. It is old and dirty, but they think it is fun. They both want to play with it. They start to pull and tug on the boot. + +"Give me the boot!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily says. + +They pull harder and harder. The boot is very strong. It does not break. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She comes out of the house. She is angry. "You are making too much noise. And you are not sharing. You need to behave!" + +Tom and Lily look at Mom. They feel sorry. They do not want to make Mom angry. + +"Sorry, Mom," they say. + +Mom smiles. She is not angry anymore. She loves Tom and Lily. + +"Why don't you take turns with the boot?" she says. "Or you can find another toy to play with. There are many things in the backyard." + +Tom and Lily nod. They agree. They do not want to fight anymore. They want to play nicely. + +They let go of the boot. They look around. They see a ball, a bucket, a shovel, and a teddy bear. They have many toys. + +They decide to play soccer with the ball. They kick the ball to each other. They have fun. They are still competitive, but they are also fair. They behave. + +Mom watches them. She is happy. She goes back to the house. She leaves the boot in the backyard. Maybe someone else will find it and play with it. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to watch TV in the morning. They watch cartoons and laugh. Mom makes toast for them. She puts butter and jam on the toast. The toast is warm and yummy. + +One day, Mom has a surprise for them. She says, "I have something new for your toast. It is orange and sweet. Do you want to try it?" Tom and Lily are curious. They nod and say, "Yes, please!" + +Mom brings a jar of orange marmalade. She says, "This is made from oranges. Oranges are fruits that grow on trees. They are juicy and good for you." She spreads some marmalade on their toast. She gives them each a slice. + +Tom and Lily take a bite. They make a funny face. They do not like the marmalade. It is too sticky and bitter. They spit it out. They say, "Yuck! We don't like it! We want jam!" + +Mom smiles and says, "That's okay. You don't have to like everything. You can have jam instead." She takes away the marmalade and gives them jam. They are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mom! We love jam!" + +They finish their toast and watch more TV. They forget about the marmalade. But Mom does not. She likes it. She puts it on her toast and enjoys it. She thinks, "Maybe they will like it when they are older." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they play silly games. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to make a fort with the box. + +"Let's cut a door and a window in the box," says Anna. + +"OK, but we need scissors and tape," says Ben. + +They look for scissors and tape in the garage. They find them on a high shelf. Ben has an idea. + +"I can stand on a step and reach them," he says. + +He finds a step and puts it under the shelf. He climbs on the step. He is very careful. He stretches his arm and grabs the scissors and tape. + +"Good job, Ben!" says Anna. "Can you give them to me?" + +Ben tries to give them to Anna. But he loses his balance. He falls off the step. He drops the scissors and tape. He lands on the floor. + +"Ouch!" he says. "That hurt!" + +Anna runs to him. She hugs him. She supports him. + +"Are you OK, Ben?" she asks. + +"I'm OK, Anna," he says. "But that was silly. I should have asked for help." + +Anna smiles. She kisses his cheek. + +"It's OK, Ben. We all do silly things sometimes. But we have each other. We can help each other." + +They pick up the scissors and tape. They go back to the box. They make a fort with the box. They have fun. They are happy. They are twins. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They zoom their cars on the roads and bridges. They have fun. + +One day, Tim sees a new car in Sam's room. It is big and red and shiny. It has a patch on the side that says "Fire". Tim likes the car very much. He wants to play with it. + +"Can I play with your fire car?" Tim asks Sam. + +"No, you can't. It is my car. It is new and special. You can play with your cars." Sam says. + +"But I like your car. It is so cool. Please let me play with it." Tim begs. + +"No, no, no. Go away. It is mine." Sam shouts. + +Tim is sad and angry. He thinks Sam is mean. He waits until Sam is not looking. He grabs the fire car and runs away. He zooms the car on the floor. He feels happy. + +But Sam sees him. He is very mad. He runs after Tim. He catches him and pushes him. He takes the fire car back. He hits Tim with the car. Tim falls down and cries. He has a big bump on his head. + +Sam is not sorry. He laughs at Tim. He says "That is what you get for taking my car. You are a bad friend. Go away." + +Tim is hurt and sad. He has no friend. He has no car. He has a bad day. The end. +Anna was excited. Today was her birthday. She wanted to play with her new toys and eat cake. But first, she had to help Mommy with breakfast. + +"Anna, can you get the eggs from the cupboard?" Mommy asked. + +Anna nodded and ran to the kitchen. She opened the cupboard and saw a big box of eggs. She reached for it, but it was too high. She needed a stool. + +She looked around and saw a stool by the table. She dragged it to the cupboard and climbed on it. She grabbed the box of eggs and smiled. She was very careful not to drop it. + +"Good job, Anna!" Mommy said. "Now, can you bring it to me?" + +Anna nodded and got down from the stool. She carried the box of eggs to Mommy, who was waiting by the stove. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a big help," Mommy said. She took the box of eggs and opened it. She cracked two eggs and put them in a pan. + +Anna watched as Mommy cooked the eggs. She smelled the butter and the cheese. She was hungry and happy. + +"Mommy, can I have some juice?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. Can you get a cup from the cupboard?" Mommy asked. + +Anna nodded and ran back to the kitchen. She opened the cupboard and saw a lot of cups. She picked a pink one with a straw. She liked pink. She closed the cupboard and went to the fridge. She opened the fridge and saw a carton of juice. She poured some juice into her cup and closed the fridge. + +She took her cup and went to the table. She saw a plate with toast and jam. She put her cup next to the plate and sat down. She was ready to eat. + +"Happy birthday, Anna!" Mommy said. She brought the pan with the eggs and put some on Anna's plate. + +"Thank you, Mommy!" Anna said. She took a bite of her toast and sipped her juice. She was excited. Today was her birthday. She wanted to play with her new toys and eat cake. But first, she had to enjoy her breakfast with Mommy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing was to build castles with sand. + +One day, they found a big pile of sand near the pond. They ran to it and started to make a huge castle. They used sticks, stones, and leaves to decorate it. They were very happy. + +"Look at our castle, Lily! It is so big and pretty!" Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben, it is! We are very good at making castles!" Lily said. + +They smiled at each other. Then Ben had an idea. + +"Lily, do you want to marry me?" he asked. + +Lily was surprised. She did not know what marry meant. But she liked Ben a lot. He was her best friend. He was kind and funny. He shared his toys and snacks with her. He made her laugh. + +"OK, Ben, I will marry you. What do we do?" she asked. + +Ben thought for a moment. He remembered what his mommy and daddy did when they got married. He took Lily's hand and said: + +"We have to say 'I do' and kiss. Then we are married. And we can live in our castle together." + +Lily nodded. She liked the idea of living in a castle with Ben. She said "I do" and kissed Ben on the cheek. Ben said "I do" and kissed Lily on the cheek. They hugged and giggled. + +They were married. They were adorable. They were happy. +Tom loved to zoom his toy car on the floor. He made loud noises with his mouth as he moved it fast. He pretended he was a racer and he wanted to win. He zoomed his car to the door, then to the sofa, then to the table. + +But then he saw his sister's doll on the floor. He did not like dolls. He thought they were silly and boring. He wanted to zoom his car over the doll and make it fly. He thought that would be fun and a success. + +He zoomed his car very hard at the doll. But the doll was too big and heavy. His car bounced off the doll and hit his face. It hurt a lot. He felt a warm and wet thing on his nose. It was blood. He started to cry. + +His mom heard him and came to see what happened. She saw the blood and the car and the doll. She was angry and worried. She picked him up and took him to the bathroom. She cleaned his nose and put a band-aid on it. She told him he was naughty and he should not zoom his car at his sister's doll. She said he could have hurt his eyes or his teeth. She said he had to say sorry to his sister and share his toys. + +Tom felt bad. He did not have fun. He did not have a success. He had a boo-boo and a scolding.

He did not want to zoom his car at anything else. He wanted to zoom his car and be happy. +Lily liked cherries very much. She liked how they were red and sweet and juicy.

Ben said, pointing to a shiny metal sled that was leaning against a tree. "Let's try it!" + +Lily looked at the sled and felt curious. It looked very different from their old wooden sled that was broken. It looked very fast and smooth. It also looked very expensive. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe it belongs to someone else. Maybe they will be mad if we take it," Lily said, feeling a little scared. + +"Come on, Lily, don't be a baby. It's just a sled. No one is here. Let's have some fun!" Ben said, grabbing Lily's hand and pulling her towards the sled. + +Lily followed Ben, but she felt uneasy. She hoped they wouldn't get in trouble. She hoped the sled was safe. + +They climbed on the sled and pushed off. The sled zoomed down the hill, faster and faster. Lily and Ben felt the wind in their faces and the snow under their feet. They laughed and screamed with joy. + +But then, something bad happened. The sled hit a bump and went off the track. It flew into the air and landed on a frozen pond. The ice cracked and the sled sank into the water. Lily and Ben tried to get off, but they were too late. The water was cold and deep. They screamed for help, but no one heard them. They lost their mittens and their breath. They drowned. +Tom and Sue were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it.

Why are you arguing?" + +They told her about the ring and how they both wanted it. + +The lady smiled and said, "I see. This is a very nice ring. But do you know what is more nice than a ring? A friend. A friend who loves you and helps you and plays with you. A friend who does not fight with you over a thing. A friend who shares with you and makes you happy. Do you have a friend like that?" + +Tim and Kim looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean. They nodded and said, "Yes, we do. We have each other. We are twins and friends." + +The lady said, "That is wonderful. Then you do not need this ring to be happy. You can give it to someone who needs it more. Maybe someone who lost it or someone who is poor. Or you can keep it and use it to play a game. But do not let it make you fight. Remember, a friend is more precious than gold." + +Tim and Kim agreed. They thanked the lady and hugged each other. They decided to keep the ring and use it to play a game.

Some of these letters are very important." + +Ben nodded and took some letters from the bag. He ran to the houses and put the letters in the mailboxes. He felt very happy and proud. He was delivering the letters like a bird. + +The mailman was happy too. He said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a very good bird helper. You are not lazy like some birds. You are very helpful and friendly." + +Ben smiled and said, "You are welcome, Mr. Mailman. I like to deliver the letters. It is fun. Can I do it again tomorrow?" + +The mailman said, "Maybe, if you are a good boy and listen to your mom. Now, let's go back to your house and say goodbye." + +Ben and the mailman walked back to Ben's house. Mom was waiting for them. She said, "Hello, Ben. Hello, Mr. Mailman.

She said, "You are very wet and it is getting cold. You need to wash and dry yourselves before you catch a cold. And you need to clean up your toys too. The sandbox and the pool are not for leaving outside overnight." + +Anna and Ben did not want to wash and dry. They wanted to watch the sunset. They said, "But Mom, the sunset is so pretty. Can we please stay a little longer?" + +Mom said, "No, you cannot. The sunset will be gone soon and you will be shivering and sneezing. You can see the sunset again tomorrow if you are good and do what I say. Now hurry up and wash and dry and clean up." + +Anna and Ben were not happy, but they knew Mom was right. They went back to the pool and picked up their toys. They put them in a box and carried them to the garage. Then they went to the bathroom and washed and dried themselves. They put on their pajamas and brushed their teeth. + +Mom gave them a hug and a kiss and said, "You are good children. I am proud of you. Now you can go to bed and have sweet dreams. Maybe you will dream of the sunset." + +Anna and Ben said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. Good night." + +They went to their beds and closed their eyes. They thought of the sunset and how pretty it was. They also thought of how nice it was to be clean and dry and warm. They learned that washing and drying and cleaning up were important things to do. They fell asleep and had sweet dreams. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and hide behind the hedge. The hedge was big and green and had many flowers. It was colorful and smelled nice. + +One day, they saw a hole in the hedge. Someone had cut it with scissors. They were sad and angry. Who did this? They asked their mom. + +Mom said, "I don't know, but it was very naughty. The hedge is old and needs care. We have to restore it and make it beautiful again." + +"How can we do that?" Tom asked. + +Mom said, "We can use some water and some seeds and some soil. We can plant new flowers and help them grow. We can also talk to the hedge and say sorry and thank you." + +Tom and Lily liked this idea. They got some water and some seeds and some soil from the shed.

She thinks of a way to make him happy. + +"Tom, I have an idea," Sara says. "Why don't we swap our toys for a little while? You can play with my doll and I can play with your truck. Maybe we can learn something new." + +Tom thinks about it. He is curious about Sara's doll. He wonders what she can do. He also likes to share with Sara.

Anna nodded and started to put her dolls and clothes in a basket. She also put some books and toys in another basket. She wanted to make her room tidy. + +But she forgot one thing. She left her favorite doll, Lily, on top of the bookcase. Lily was a very expensive doll that her grandma gave her for her birthday. She had long hair and a pretty dress and shoes. Anna loved Lily very much. + +When Anna and her mom came back from the store, they heard a loud crash from Anna's room. They ran to see what happened.

Jill asked. + +"Mommy told me," Jack said. "She said wine is made from grapes, but it's not like juice. It has something that makes grown-ups happy, but makes kids sick." + +"Oh," Jill said. "Then we should not drink it." + +"No, we should not," Jack said. "Let's put it back." + +They put the bottle back on the shelf, and went back to their cars. They decided to play a new game.

"I did it, I did it!" he said. He opened the door and climbed inside. + +Lily followed him. They saw a big wheel, some buttons, and a lever. They wondered what they did.

The wagon hit the rock and Mr. Bear flew out. He landed on the grass, but his hat fell off. Sara and Tom stopped and ran to him. They saw that he had a big tear on his back. They felt sad and sorry. + +"Oh no, Mr. Bear is hurt!" Sara said. + +"We need to fix him!" Tom said. + +They took Mr. Bear and his hat inside the house. They asked their mom for a needle and some thread. Their mom helped them to stitch the tear on Mr. Bear's back. She said, "You are very good at sewing. Mr. Bear will be fine." + +Sara and Tom thanked their mom and hugged Mr. Bear. They put his hat back on and said, "We love you, Mr. Bear. We are sorry we made you fall. We will be more careful next time." + +Mr. Bear smiled and said, "I love you too, Sara and Tom. You are the best friends I ever had." +Tom and Lily were playing at the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big boat on the water. It had a big anchor that went down to the bottom. + +"Look, Lily, a boat!" Tom said. "Do you want to go on the boat?" + +"Yes, Tom, I want to go on the boat!" Lily said. "But how can we get there?" + +Tom had an idea. He found a long rope and tied it to the anchor. He pulled the rope and the anchor came up a little bit. + +"Come on, Lily, let's pull the rope together!" Tom said. "We can make the boat come closer!" + +Lily helped Tom pull the rope. They pulled and pulled, but the boat did not move. The rope was too thin and the anchor was too heavy. + +"Tom, this is hard!" Lily said. "The boat is too strong for us!" + +Tom agreed. He let go of the rope and the anchor fell back into the water. He looked at Lily and smiled. + +"Maybe we can't go on the boat, Lily, but we can still have fun at the beach!" Tom said. "Let's make a sandcastle instead!" + +Lily nodded. She liked to make sandcastles with Tom. They ran to the sand and started to build. They forgot about the boat and the anchor. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with long hair and sharp teeth. The dog was not on a leash. It was running and barking at the birds and the squirrels. + +"Look, a wild dog!" Tom said. "Let's go and pet it!" + +"No, Tom, that's not a good idea," Lily said. "Wild dogs can be mean and bite. We should stay away from it." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran towards the dog and tried to touch it. The dog did not like that. It growled and snapped at Tom. Tom was scared and ran back to Lily. He had a scratch on his arm and it hurt. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "The dog bit me!" + +Lily hugged Tom and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. You should have listened to me. Wild dogs are not like our dogs at home. They are not friendly and they don't like strangers. We should always be careful around them and respect their space." + +Tom nodded and said, "You're right, Lily. I was silly and I learned my lesson. Next time, I will listen to you and be more careful. Can we go home now and put some cream on my scratch?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, let's go home. And maybe we can play with our dogs later. They are nice and gentle and they love us." + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your friends and be careful around wild animals. They can be dangerous and hurt you. +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They saw their dad using the grill to cook some food. They smelled something yummy and ran to him. + +"Dad, what are you making?" Lily asked. + +"I'm making burgers and hot dogs for lunch. Do you want some?" Dad said. + +"Yes, please!" Max said. + +Lily and Max waited for their food. They saw some smoke coming from the grill. They heard a loud sizzle. + +"Dad, is the grill okay?" Max asked. + +"Yes, it's okay. It's just a little hot. Don't worry, I know how to use it." Dad said. + +But then, they heard a beep. Dad looked at his phone. He frowned. + +"Oh no, I have to take this call. It's from work. Can you two watch the grill for a minute? Just stay away from it and don't touch anything." Dad said. + +He went inside the house with his phone. + +Lily and Max looked at the grill. They saw the food getting darker and darker. They smelled something burning. + +"Uh-oh, I think the food is getting too cooked." Lily said. + +"Maybe we should tell Dad." Max said. + +But they were afraid to go inside. They heard Dad talking loudly on the phone. He sounded angry. They didn't want to bother him. + +They decided to be brave and try to fix the problem. They looked for something to turn off the grill. They saw a big red button. + +"Maybe this is it." Lily said. + +She reached for the button. But she was too short. She couldn't reach it. + +"Here, I'll help you." Max said. + +He climbed on a chair. He pushed the button. + +But it was the wrong button. It was the button for the gas. The gas made a big whoosh. The fire made a big boom. The grill made a big bang. + +Lily and Max screamed. They jumped off the chair. They ran away from the grill. + +Dad heard the noise. He dropped his phone. He ran outside. He saw the grill on fire. He saw Lily and Max crying. + +"What happened? Are you okay?" Dad asked. + +He grabbed a hose. He sprayed water on the grill. He put out the fire. + +He hugged Lily and Max. He checked them for injuries. He was glad they were not hurt. + +He was also very mad. + +"Why did you touch the grill? I told you to stay away from it. You could have been hurt. You could have burned the house. You could have caused a big problem." Dad said. + +He complained a lot. He scolded them. He made them feel bad. + +Lily and Max felt sorry. They didn't mean to cause trouble. They just wanted to help. + +They said sorry to Dad. They said they were brave. They said they learned their lesson. + +Dad calmed down. He said sorry too. He said he was scared. He said he loved them. + +He said they were brave, but also foolish. He said they should listen to him. He said he would teach them how to use the grill safely. + +He said they still had some food left. He said they could have lunch together. + +They went inside the house. They ate their food. They hugged each other. + +They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make roads and bridges with sticks and stones. But Lily was very bossy. She always wanted to have the best cars and the best spots. She would demand that Tom gave her what she wanted, or she would cry and tell their mom. + +One day, Lily saw a shiny nail on the ground. She picked it up and said, "This is mine! It's a magic nail. It can make anything I want." She held it in her hand and pointed it at Tom's car. "I want your car. Give it to me now!" + +Tom did not like that. He liked his car. It was red and fast. He said, "No, Lily. That's not a magic nail. That's a bad nail. It can hurt you. You should put it down and play nice." + +Lily did not listen. She was angry. She said, "You're lying, Tom. You're just jealous. I'll show you. I'll make your car fly away with my magic nail." She waved the nail in the air and pretended to cast a spell. + +But as she did that, she did not see the bee that was flying near her. The bee thought the nail was a flower. It flew towards it and stung Lily's hand. Lily screamed and dropped the nail and her car. She ran to their mom, crying and holding her hand. + +Tom felt sorry for Lily, but he also felt a little happy. He picked up his car and the nail. He said, "Maybe this is a magic nail after all. It made Lily stop being bossy. Thank you, nail. Thank you, bee." He put the nail in his pocket and drove his car on the road. He hoped Lily would be nicer next time. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys. They have a boat, a duck, a frog and a ball. They splash and laugh. + +One day, Tom wants to play with the boat. He says, "It is my boat. I have it." Mia says, "No, it is our boat. We share it." Tom says, "No, I have it. You have the duck." Mia says, "No, I want the boat too. You have the frog." They start to pull the boat. + +The boat slips from their hands. It goes to the drain. The drain is a hole in the bath. It makes the water go away. The boat is too big for the drain. It gets stuck. The water cannot go away. The bath gets full. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They do not like the full bath. They do not like the unknown drain. They do not want to lose the boat. They cry. They call for mom. + +Mom comes. She sees the boat in the drain. She sees the full bath. She sees Tom and Mia crying. She says, "Do not worry. I will help you. I will get the boat. I will make the water go away. I will dry you. I will hug you. You are safe." + +Mom gets the boat. She makes the water go away. She dries Tom and Mia. She hugs them. She says, "You are good twins. You are brave. You are smart. You can play with the boat. You can share it. You can have fun." + +Tom and Mia smile. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. We love the boat. We love the duck. We love the frog. We love the ball. We love to play in the bath." They hug mom. They hug each other. They play in the bath. They splash and laugh. +Lily likes to play with her round toys. She has a ball, a wheel, a cookie and a button. She likes to match them with other things that are round. She matches the ball with a hoop, the wheel with a car, the cookie with a plate and the button with a shirt. + +One day, Lily finds a new round thing in the kitchen. It is shiny and red and has a hole in the middle. She thinks it is a toy and wants to match it with something. She looks around and sees a round thing on the stove. It is black and has a handle. She thinks it is a hoop and wants to put the red thing on it. + +But the black thing is not a hoop. It is a pot. And the pot is hot. Very hot. Lily does not know that. She reaches for the pot and tries to put the red thing on it. But when she touches the pot, she feels a pain in her hand. She drops the red thing and cries. It hurts a lot. + +Mom hears Lily cry and runs to the kitchen. She sees what happened and hugs Lily. She tells her that the pot is hot and the red thing is not a toy. It is a lid. She puts the lid on the pot and turns off the stove. She takes Lily to the sink and runs cold water on her hand. She says she is sorry and that she loves her. + +Lily stops crying and feels better. She says she is sorry too and that she loves Mom. She learns that not all round things are toys and that some things are hot and can hurt. She decides to play with her round toys in her room and not in the kitchen. She matches them with other things that are round and safe. She has fun and is happy. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to watch movies together. One day, they find a new movie on TV. It is about a dog and a cat who are lost. + +"Let's watch this movie," Sara says. "It looks fun." + +"OK," Tom says. "But I want some popcorn." + +Sara and Tom go to the kitchen. They see a big bowl of popcorn on the table. But they also see a note from Sara's mom. + +"Do not eat this popcorn. It is for later. It has salt and vinegar. It is bitter. You will not like it. Make your own popcorn. Love, Mom." + +Sara and Tom do not read the note. They think the popcorn is for them. They grab some and put it in their mouths. + +"Yuck!" Sara says. "This popcorn is bad. It is bitter. It makes my tongue hurt." + +"Me too," Tom says. "It is not yummy. It is yucky. Let's spit it out." + +Sara and Tom spit out the popcorn. They are sad. They do not have any popcorn for the movie. They hear the movie start on TV. + +"What do we do now?" Sara asks. + +Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. + +"Let's help mom," he says. "Let's make our own popcorn. We can use butter and sugar. It will be sweet. It will be good. And mom will be happy." + +Sara likes Tom's idea. She smiles. + +"OK," she says. "Let's help mom. And then we can watch the movie. And we can share our popcorn. It will be fun." + +Sara and Tom go to the stove. They find some corn and a pot. They follow the instructions on the corn bag. They make their own popcorn. They add butter and sugar. It smells good. It tastes good. They fill a big bowl with their popcorn. + +They go back to the living room. They see mom sitting on the couch. She is watching the movie. She is surprised to see them. + +"Hi, mom," Sara says. "We made some popcorn. Do you want some?" + +Mom looks at the popcorn. She sees the note on the table. She understands what happened. She smiles. + +"Thank you, Sara and Tom," she says. "You are very kind. You helped me. And you made your own popcorn. That is very smart. And yes, I would love some popcorn. It looks delicious." + +Sara and Tom sit next to mom. They share their popcorn. They watch the movie. They laugh and hug. They are happy. + +The moral of the story is: You should read the notes that mom leaves for you. And you should help mom when you can. And you should make your own popcorn if you want. It will be better than bitter popcorn. And you will have more fun. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play games. Today they play hide and seek. Tom is the seeker. He has to count to ten and then find Lily. Lily is the hider. She has to hide and not make noise. + +Tom closes his eyes and starts to count. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!" He opens his eyes and looks around. He sees a big tree, a small house, a red car, a yellow ball, and a blue mask. He thinks Lily is hiding behind the mask. He runs to the mask and lifts it up. + +But it is not Lily. It is a huge dog. The dog barks and licks Tom's face. Tom is scared and drops the mask. He hears Lily giggle. She is hiding behind the car. She comes out and says, "I tricked you! The mask was mine. I put it on the dog. He is my friend. His name is Spot. Do you want to pet him?" + +Tom is not scared anymore. He laughs and says, "You are smart and funny, Lily. Spot is nice and soft. Can we play with him?" Lily nods and says, "Yes, we can. He likes to play fetch. Do you want to be the seeker or the hider?" Tom says, "I want to be the hider. You count and I hide.

Ben asks. + +Tom nods and gets on Ben's scooter. He rides it around the park. He feels happy. + +Mia feels sad. She wants to play with Tom, but he only plays with Ben. She thinks Ben is terrible. She does not like his scooter. She thinks it is too loud and flashy. + +"Tom, come back!" Mia calls to Tom. "Let's play together!" + +But Tom does not hear her. He is too busy with Ben's scooter. + +Mia gets angry. She runs to Tom and Ben. She pushes Ben off his scooter. She grabs his scooter and throws it on the ground. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Ben shouts. "That's my scooter! You broke it!" + +Tom jumps off the scooter. He sees Ben's scooter on the ground. He sees the lights and sounds are not working.

"It is so pretty and smooth. I want to keep it." + +Ben examined the rock and nodded. "It is nice, but I like this one better." He showed Lila a rock that had stripes and spots. "It is more interesting and special." + +Lila frowned. "But mine is prettier. Yours is just regular." + +Ben felt hurt. He liked his rock very much. He thought it was unique and cool. He did not want to trade with Lila. + +"No, it is not. It is different and cool. I don't want to trade with you." He said. + +Lila and Ben started to argue. They both wanted to have the best rock. They did not listen to each other. They did not share. They did not have fun. + +A bird flew by and saw them. It landed on a branch and spoke to them. + +"Why are you fighting?" The bird asked. "You have so many rocks. They are all beautiful and special. You should be happy and grateful." + +Lila and Ben stopped arguing and looked at the bird. They felt ashamed. They realized they were being silly and selfish. They had forgotten to be kind and respectful. + +"You are right, bird. We are sorry." Lila said. "We should not fight over rocks. We should appreciate what we have and what we find." + +"Yes, we should." Ben said. "We should also share and trade. Maybe we can learn something new from each other's rocks." + +Lila and Ben smiled and hugged. They thanked the bird for its wisdom. They decided to share and trade their rocks. They also gave some to the bird as a gift. They learned that all rocks are beautiful and special, just like all friends. They had fun again. +One day, a boy and a girl went to the park.

He wanted it to grow bigger and faster. + +But the plant did not grow. It got wet and dirty and sick. The water was not good for it. The dirt was not good for it. The plant started to die. Sam was sad. He tried to take it out, but it was too deep. He could not reach it. He cried and cried. + +The next day, Sam saw that all his other plants were gone. He asked his mom what happened.

He gave the axe to his younger brother, who cheered excitedly. + +The two brothers went out and started exploring the forest. The older brother always stayed close and used the axe to help them. He showed the younger brother how to chop wood for walking sticks, and gave him tips on how to stay safe. + +At the end of the day, the brothers looked back on their adventure with a sense of accomplishment. The younger brother couldn't help but smile, wearing a proud grin. He said, "Thank you for supporting me today, older brother. I had lots of fun!" + +The older brother smiled too and replied, "I'm so glad I could support you. Let's come back here soon and explore some more!" +Once there was a boy called Jack who loved to dive in the swimming pool. Jack had a favourite toy, a bright yellow razor, which he'd take with him in the pool. + +One day, Jack wanted to show of his diving skills. He waded out into the deep end, holding his bright yellow razor high in the air. He looked around to make sure everybody had seen him, before he leapt up and dived into the water with a big splash! + +But when Jack resurfaced, he was upset. His razor was nowhere to be seen. He looked around in the water, but couldn't spot it anywhere. + +Jack's dad came to the rescue. He had been watching the whole time, and he said: "Don't panic son. I saw your dive and I know where your razor is." He pointed to the bottom corner of the pool, and sure enough, there was Jack's razor, wedged in between some rocks. + +Jack was overjoyed, and thanked his dad for finding it. He turned back to the pool and went on diving again, now with his favourite toy back in his hands. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Jessie. She liked to explore and find out about the world. One day, she decided to take a walk around the neighbourhood. + +Jessie saw lots of traffic racing around. She felt a little anxious but she was also excited. She couldn't wait to explore and look around. + +She followed the traffic until she came to a shop. In the shop was a big pile of things - all kinds of toys, food and clothes. She saw that the shop was supplying everyone with things they needed. + +Jessie was so happy. She wanted some of the things that were in the shop too. But she had no way to buy anything. So she went back home, looking forward to the next time she could go out and explore. +Once there was an elephant, he was very clumsy. He was walking through the forest one day when he came across a band. The elephant was curious, so he started to examine it. As he was examining it, the band snapped and scared the elephant. He quickly backed away and bumped into a tree, almost falling over. He was very scared and didn't know what to do. + +Suddenly, he thought of an idea. The elephant remembered he had seen a monkey in the forest, so he ran over and asked it for help. The monkey was very clever and knew how to fix the band. He fixed the band perfectly and the elephant was very thankful. + +The elephant was so relieved that his problem had been solved. He thanked the monkey for his help and the monkey smiled. The elephant was now happy to explore the forest with the band on his trunk. He was much more careful and never came across something like that again. +Once upon a time there was a carrot. It was disgusting and yucky. Nobody wanted it. One day a young girl was walking in the woods, when she saw the carrot. She wondered why it was there all alone. She picked it up and decided that she would take it home. + +When the young girl arrived at home, it reminded her of something. She remembered that her parents had told her to eat carrots because they were healthy and yummy. She smiled and decided to try the carrot. + +The young girl took a bite of the carrot and it was amazingly delicious. She ate the entire carrot and it tasted so much better than expected. From that day forward she remembered to eat healthy and delicious carrots. +Once upon a time, there was a very fair girl. She had a special shirt. Every day she wore it with pride. + +One day, the girl wanted to give her shirt a new look. So, she took her scissors and began to cut. First she cut stars, then flowers and then a big heart. + +Once she was done, the girl looked in the mirror and smiled. Her shirt looked super cool! + +The girl was so proud of her new shirt. She showed it to everyone and they all said it was very fair. + +The end. +Once there was a family who lived in a small town. One day they got a surprise visit from an ambulance. The ambulance drove up with its bright lights flashing. Everyone was surprised to see it. + +The ambulance parked in the driveway. Two men stepped out and came to the door. They had a big box with them. The family was very curious. + +The men opened the box and took out some parts. They put the parts together and soon they had a special bed. It was so expensive! + +The family was so excited. They thanked the men for the bed and waved them goodbye as the ambulance drove away. From then on, whenever anyone was sick, they could rest in the bed. The bed was very helpful and made sure everyone stayed comfortable and healthy. +Once upon a time there lived a little girl named Lucy. She loved playing outside in her garden with her brother, Jake. One day, she decided to take a walk with him. + +As they were walking, they came across a big leak. The leak looked very strange and made a lot of noise. Jake told Lucy to be careful but she didn't listen. She ran up to it and yelled, "This leak looks crazy!" + +Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind. It was their mother! "What have you done?!" she said. + +Lucy was scared. She knew she had done something wrong and had spoiled the leak. + +Then, her mother told Lucy, "You should never run up to things like this. It isn't safe. Now, have you learned your lesson?" + +Lucy nodded her head and said, "Yes, mommy. I won't do it again." + +Her mother smiled and said, "Good. Now let's go home and have something to eat." + +The little family walked back to their house, happy to be together and without any more leaks or crazy surprises. +Once upon a time, there was a grumpy man. He always seemed mad and he was never nice to anyone. One day, he was walking and he saw a screw lying on the ground. He decided to pick it up and rub it because he thought it was a very shiny object. + +He started to rub it and suddenly, he heard a little voice. It was an old man who said, "What are you doing with my screw?!" + +The grumpy man was angry and he yelled, "It's mine now! I found it so I'm keeping it!" + +The old man was also very grumpy and he was not happy. He shouted, "I need it! Give it back!" + +But the grumpy man just kept rubbing the screw and said, "No! It's mine!" So, the old man could not get his screw back and he was very sad. + +The moral of this story is that being grumpy can have bad consequences. Always be nice and polite to others. +Once upon a time there was a baby tiger cub. He was fierce, but he did not know anything about the world. One day, his mama said, "Time to learn, cub!" + +The cub was excited to start. He followed his mama to a tree. "Now, cub," she said, "use your claws to scratch the tree." The cub dug his claws into the bark and scratched. + +Mama said "Good job, you are a fierce learner!" The cub was so happy to see how good he was. + +He practiced every day and soon he was the best scratcher in the forest. He even learned how to roar. + +When night came, the cub snuggled up to his mama. He felt so proud to be a fierce learner. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Lucy.
