She looked under the table, behind the chairs, and in the cupboards. She could not find Ben. + +"Where are you, Ben?" she called out. "I give up!" + +She heard a giggle from the big white box in the corner. It was the freezer. Lily walked over and opened the door. She saw Ben inside, holding a bag of frozen peas.

They run to the taxi and call it. The taxi stops and the driver asks them where they want to go. Tim and Sam say the park. + +The driver is not nice. He is mean.

They put everything in the bowl and mixed it with a spoon. They did not know how much to put or how long to mix. + +"Let's put it in the oven now," Tom said. He opened the oven door and tried to lift the bowl. But the bowl was too heavy and hot for him. He dropped the bowl on the floor. The cake mix spilled everywhere. The bowl broke into many pieces. + +"Uh-oh," Sue said. "We made a big mess. Mom will be mad at us." + +"Maybe we can fix it," Tom said.

You are in big trouble." + +She took Tom and Sue to the bathroom and cleaned their wounds. She put bandages on them and gave them some medicine.

They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had a better day. +Lily and Sam like to play in the tent. The tent is big and green. They put the tent in the yard. They bring toys and books and snacks. They have fun in the tent. + +One day, Lily and Sam see a hole in the tent. The hole is small, but it makes them sad. They do not want the tent to break. They want to fix the hole. + +"Can we fix the hole, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Let me see, sweetie," Mom says. She comes to the yard and looks at the hole. "Hmm, this hole is not too bad. We can fix it with some tape. But first, we need to clean the tent. It is very dirty." + +Lily and Sam nod. They help Mom to clean the tent. They use water and soap and a sponge. They scrub the tent until it is not dirty anymore. They rinse the tent with more water. They let the tent dry in the sun. + +Then, Mom gets some tape. She cuts a piece of tape and sticks it on the hole. She presses the tape hard. She makes sure the hole is covered. + +"There, all done," Mom says. "The tent is fixed.

He makes things with lumber, like tables and chairs and shelves. He is very organized. He has a place for every tool and every piece of lumber. + +One day, Anna wants to make something too.

They decided to use it to make a slide on the floor. + +"Look, Lily, we can slide very fast!" Tom said, as he poured some oil on the floor. + +"Wow, that looks fun!" Lily said, and joined him. They slid back and forth, laughing and shouting. + +But they did not see that the oil was making a big mess. It spilled on the walls, the furniture, and the door. It also made the floor very slippery and dangerous. + +Soon, Mom came home and saw the oil everywhere. She was very angry and sad. + +"Tom, Lily, what have you done?" she asked. "This oil is very bad for the floor and the house. It is also very hard to clean. And you could have hurt yourselves. How could you be so careless?" + +Tom and Lily felt very sorry. They knew they had done something wrong. They wanted to make Mom happy again. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not think. We just wanted to have fun. Please forgive us," they said. + +Mom was compassionate. She loved Tom and Lily very much. She knew they were still learning. She hugged them and said, "I forgive you, but you have to help me clean up this mess. And you have to promise me not to play with oil again. It is not a toy. It is for the car and the stove. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We understand, Mom. We promise. We will help you clean up." + +They got some rags and a bucket and started to wipe the oil off the floor and the walls. It was hard work, but they did not complain.

I am proud of you." + +She applauded them for their effort and their honesty. She gave them a kiss and a cookie. They felt happy and learned a lesson. They never played with oil again. +Anna liked to play with her gems. She had many gems of different colors and shapes. She kept them in a big box under her bed. Sometimes she would choose a gem and pretend it was a magic stone. She would make up stories about the gem and what it could do. + +One day, Anna found a new gem in her box. It was very shiny and had many colors. She had never seen a gem like that before. She wondered where it came from. She picked it up and looked at it closely. It felt warm and smooth in her hand. + +"Wow, what a pretty gem!" she said out loud. "I wonder what kind of magic it has." + +"Hello, Anna," a voice said. Anna was surprised. She looked around, but she did not see anyone. The voice came from the gem. "I am a special gem. I can talk to you and grant you one wish. But you have to be careful what you wish for. You can only wish for something original, something that no one else has ever wished for before." + +Anna was amazed. She had never heard a gem talk before. She thought about what she could wish for. She wanted something original, something that no one else had. She thought hard. She remembered her favorite book, the one with the pictures of animals and plants. She loved to look at the book and learn new things. + +"I know what I wish for," she said. "I wish I could go inside the book and see the animals and plants for real. I want to explore the book and have fun." + +The gem sparkled and said, "That is a very original wish, Anna. I can grant it for you. But remember, you can only stay in the book for one hour. Then you have to come back to your room. If you stay longer, you will be stuck in the book forever. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded. She was excited. She wanted to go inside the book and see the animals and plants for real. She said, "Yes, I understand. Please, take me to the book." + +The gem glowed and said, "Hold me tight and close your eyes. Your wish is granted." Anna felt a strange sensation. She closed her eyes and held the gem tight. She felt like she was flying. Then she heard a new sound. It was the sound of birds and insects and water. She opened her eyes and saw that she was in the book. She saw trees and flowers and animals. She was amazed. She smiled and said, "Wow, this is amazing. Thank you, gem. Let's go and explore." She ran to the nearest animal and said hello. The animal looked at her and said hello back. Anna was happy. She had made a new friend. She did not notice that the gem had fallen from her hand and rolled under a bush. She did not notice that the gem had stopped glowing. She did not notice that the hour was almost over. She did not notice that she was in danger of being stuck in the book forever. +Lily likes to wear soft dresses. She has many dresses in her closet.

She turned her back to Ben and kept playing. + +Ben felt sad and hurt. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He said, "You are not a nice queen. You are a mean queen. I do not like you."

I am sad because I cannot catch any fish. I have been here all day and nothing happens. I am hungry and tired." The fisherman says. + +"Maybe the fish are hiding. Maybe they are scared of the worm. Do you have something else to give them?" Tom asks. + +The fisherman shakes his head. He has no other bait. He has only the worm. + +Lily and Tom think for a moment. Then they have an idea. They run to their picnic basket and take out some bread and cheese. They break them into small pieces and give them to the fisherman. + +"Here, fisherman. Try these.

They saw many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, and a big pond.

We do not like the frog." + +Mom hugged them and said, "Do not worry, kids. The frog will not hurt you. The frog is just curious and wants to say hello. But you should listen to me and not go too close to the pond. The pond is not safe for you. Come, let us go to the playground. The playground is safe and fun." + +The boy and the girl agreed and said, "Yes, mom. Let us go to the playground. We like the playground. The playground is safe and fun." They followed their mom and left the pond and the frog behind. They played on the swings, the slide, and the seesaw.

He grabbed a hammer from the tool box and ran after Lily. + +"Stop, Tom, stop!" Lily cried, as she ran away from Tom. "You can't hit me with a hammer! That's not nice!" + +They ran around the garden, until they saw a cute kitten sitting on the fence. The kitten was fluffy and white, and it had blue eyes. It looked at them and meowed. + +"Wow, look, a kitten!" Lily said, as she stopped running and put down her car. "It's so cute! Can we pet it?" + +Tom also stopped running and put down his hammer. He liked kittens too. He nodded and smiled. + +"Okay, let's pet it. But be gentle, okay?" he said. + +They walked slowly towards the kitten and reached out their hands. The kitten let them touch its fur and purred. Lily and Tom forgot about their cars and their hammer. They only wanted to play with the kitten.

They will give you some medicine. It will make you feel better." Lily's mom said. She was worried. + +"Will it hurt, mom?" Lily asked. She was afraid of the hospital. She heard that it was a big and noisy place. + +"No, Lily, it won't hurt. The doctor will be very nice. He will check your throat and give you a spoon of medicine. It will taste sweet. And then you can whistle again." Lily's mom said. She smiled. + +"Really, mom?" Lily asked. She hoped that it was true. + +"Really, Lily. Trust me." Lily's mom said. She hugged Lily. + +"OK, mom. Let's go." Lily said. She was brave. + +They got in the car and drove to the hospital. Ben came with them. He wanted to be with Lily. He brought his toy car. It was his favorite.

He said she would be fine. + +Lily felt better. She thanked the doctor. She hugged her mom. She hugged Ben. She tried to whistle. She heard a sound. It was a small and weak sound.

They have many colors and shapes. They are happy. They start to build a big tower with the blocks. They have fun. +Tom and Anna like to play with water. They have a big tub in the garden and a hose that brings water from the tap. They fill the tub with water and splash each other. They laugh and have fun. + +One day, Tom has an idea. He sees a pipe in the shed. The pipe is long and thin and has a hole at one end. Tom thinks the pipe can make the water go faster and farther. He takes the pipe and puts it on the hose. He turns the tap on and waits for the water to come out. + +"Look, Anna, look!" Tom says. "I have a pipe. It makes the water increase. Watch this!" He points the pipe at Anna and squeezes the hose. A jet of water shoots out of the pipe and hits Anna in the face. Anna is wet and surprised. She does not like it. + +"Tom, stop it!" Anna says. "That is not nice. The pipe is too strong. It hurts me. Give me the pipe!" She tries to grab the pipe from Tom, but Tom does not let go. They pull and tug at the pipe. The pipe is fragile. It breaks in two. Water sprays everywhere. Tom and Anna are soaked. They drop the pipe and look at each other. + +"Uh-oh," Tom says. "We broke the pipe. Dad will be angry. What do we do?" + +"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe we can hide the pipe. Or maybe we can say sorry. Or maybe we can run away." + +They look at the broken pipe and the wet tub and the dripping hose. They do not know what to do. They are scared and sorry. They wish they did not play with the pipe. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. They have a yellow car and a yellow bike. They want to race with them. + +"Let's race to the big tree!" Tim says. He gets on the bike. Sam gets in the car. + +"Ready, set, go!" Sam says. They start to race. The car and the bike go fast. Tim pedals hard. Sam pushes the buttons. + +They see the big tree. It is close. Tim and Sam are both happy. They want to win. They do not see the human. + +The human is walking on the path. He has a yellow hat and a yellow shirt. He does not see the car and the bike. He is looking at the sky. + +"Look out!" Tim shouts. He tries to stop the bike. Sam tries to stop the car. But it is too late. The car and the bike hit the human. The human falls down. The car and the bike fall down. Tim and Sam fall down. + +"Ow!" the human says. He rubs his leg. He is not hurt. He is just surprised. He looks at Tim and Sam. They look at him. They are scared. They are sorry. + +"We are sorry, human!" Tim and Sam say. They get up. They help the human get up. They pick up the car and the bike. + +"It's okay, boys," the human says. He smiles. He is not angry. He is kind. "But you should be careful. You should not race on the path. You could hurt someone. Or yourself." + +Tim and Sam nod. They understand. They are not bad. They are just playful. They like to race. But they do not want to hurt anyone. + +"Thank you, human," Tim and Sam say. They hug the human. The human hugs them back. He gives them his yellow hat and his yellow shirt. He says they can keep them. + +Tim and Sam are happy. They have new yellow things. They have a new friend. They say goodbye to the human. They go back to their home. They do not race on the path. They race on the grass. They are careful. They are good. They are fun. +Tom is a hairy dog who likes to play with his ball. He lives with his family in a big house with a yard. One day, he sees a new dog in the yard next door. The new dog is big and black and has sharp teeth. He barks at Tom and tries to take his ball. + +"Hey, that's my ball!" Tom says. "Go away, you bad dog!" + +The new dog does not listen. He jumps over the fence and runs towards Tom. Tom is scared, but he does not want to lose his ball. He growls and tries to protect his ball. + +The family hears the noise and comes outside. They see the two dogs fighting over the ball. They are worried that Tom might get hurt. They call Tom's name and try to get him to come inside. + +"Tom, come here, boy!" the dad says. "Leave the ball, it's not worth it!" + +But Tom does not hear them. He is too busy fighting the new dog. He bites the new dog's ear and makes him yelp. The new dog lets go of the ball and runs away. + +Tom is happy. He has won the fight and kept his ball. He picks up the ball and runs to his family. They hug him and praise him. + +"Good boy, Tom!" the mom says. "You are very brave and strong!" + +They give him some water and a treat. Tom drinks the water and eats the treat. He is thirsty and hungry after the fight. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He loves his family and his ball. He is a happy, hairy dog. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build tall stacks of different colors and shapes. Sometimes they knocked them down and made loud noises. + +"Look at my stack, Lily!" Ben said. "It is very high and hard. Can you make one like that?" + +Lily looked at Ben's stack. She saw a red block on the top. She wanted that block for her stack. She reached out and took it. + +"Hey, that is my block!" Ben shouted. "Give it back to me!" + +"No, it is mine now!" Lily said. "I like red blocks. They are pretty." + +Ben was angry. He grabbed another block from Lily's stack and replaced the red block on his stack. + +"That is not fair, Ben!" Lily cried. "You took my block!" + +They both started to pull and push the blocks. The stacks fell down and made a big mess. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She came into the playroom and saw the blocks on the floor. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +"Mom, Lily took my block!" Ben said. + +"Mom, Ben took my block!" Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She picked up the blocks and put them in a box. She said, "You need to learn to share and play nicely. Blocks are for building, not for fighting. If you want a block, you have to ask first. And if someone gives you a block, you have to say thank you. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for making Mom upset. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We will share and play nicely." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's good. Now, why don't you help me clean up the playroom? Then we can have some cookies and milk." + +Lily and Ben agreed. They helped Mom clean up the playroom. They put the blocks back in the box. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +Mom hugged them. She said, "I love you too. Now, let's have some cookies and milk." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They also liked to watch the animals. They saw birds and bugs and dogs. But their favorite animal was the squirrel. + +One day, they saw a squirrel with a big nut in its mouth. It was running up a tree. Lily and Ben wanted to see where it was going. They followed the squirrel with their eyes. They saw it reach a hole in the tree. It was its home. + +"Can we go and say hello to the squirrel?" Lily asked Ben. + +"OK, but we have to be quiet and nice," Ben said. + +They walked slowly to the tree. They looked at the hole. They saw the squirrel peek out. It looked at them with its bright eyes. + +"Hello, squirrel," Lily said softly. "We are Lily and Ben. We like you. You are very fair." + +The squirrel tilted its head. It made a chirping sound. It seemed to like Lily and Ben too. + +"Can we be your friends?" Ben asked. + +The squirrel nodded. It came out of the hole. It held out its nut. It wanted to share. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They reached out their hands. The squirrel attached the nut to their fingers. It was a gift. + +"Thank you, squirrel," Lily and Ben said. + +They all sat down by the tree. They ate the nut together. They became friends. They played and talked and laughed. They had a lot of fun. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a big ball in the grass. It is red and shiny. + +"Look, a ball!" Tom says. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK!" Mia says. "But how do we know if it is good?" + +Tom has an idea. He picks up the ball and throws it hard. He wants to test the ball. He wants to see if it can bounce. + +The ball flies in the air. It goes very high. Tom and Mia watch it. They are happy. + +But then, the ball falls down. It does not bounce. It hits the ground. It makes a loud noise. It breaks. It is not a ball. It is a balloon. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Mia say. "The balloon is gone!" + +They run to the balloon. It is flat and dirty. They are sad. + +"Sorry, Tom," Mia says. "I wanted to play with the balloon." + +"Me too, Mia," Tom says. "But it was not a good balloon. It could not bounce." + +They look at each other. They hug. They are still friends. + +"Maybe we can find another ball," Tom says. + +"Or another balloon," Mia says. + +They smile. They hold hands. They go to look for more things to play with. They have fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys and books and clothes. They liked to make forts and castles and pretend they were kings and queens. But their room was not tidy. It was messy and full of things. + +"Let's play with the furniture!" Lily said. She liked to move the chairs and tables and make new shapes. "We can make a big house for our dolls!" + +"OK!" Tom said. He liked to play with Lily. He helped her move the furniture. They pushed and pulled and lifted and dragged. They made a big house with a sofa, a bed, a desk and a lamp. They put their dolls inside and gave them names and stories. + +But then they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She came in and saw the room. She was not happy. She saw the furniture and the toys and the books and the clothes. She saw no space to walk or sit or lie down. + +"What have you done?" she asked. She sounded angry and sad. "This room is not tidy. It is very messy and full of things. You have to put everything back where it belongs. The furniture does not fit here. It belongs in the living room and the kitchen and the hall. The toys and the books and the clothes belong in the shelves and the drawers and the closet. You have to clean up this room now!" + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They did not want to make their mom angry and sad. They liked their furniture house, but they knew they had to put everything back. They said sorry to their mom and started to clean up. They moved the furniture and the toys and the books and the clothes. They put them where they belonged. They made the room tidy and full of space. + +Their mom saw the room and smiled. She was happy and proud. She hugged Lily and Tom and said, "Thank you for cleaning up. This room is very tidy and full of space. You did a good job. Now you can play with your toys and your books and your clothes. But please, do not play with the furniture again. It does not fit here. It belongs in the other rooms. OK?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "OK, mom. We understand. We will not play with the furniture again. We will play with our toys and our books and our clothes. And we will keep our room tidy and full of space." + +They kissed their mom and went back to their room. They played with their toys and their books and their clothes. They had fun and they were happy. And they did not play with the furniture again. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found a snake in the grass. Tim wanted to touch it, but Sam was afraid. + +"Don't touch it, Tim! It can bite you!" Sam said. + +"No, it can't. It is a nice snake. See, it is green like the grass. I want to be its friend," Tim said. + +He reached out his hand to the snake, but the snake was not nice. It was envious of Tim's hand, because it had fingers and nails. The snake wanted to have them too, so it bit Tim hard. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tim cried. "It hurts! It burns!" + +Sam ran to get their mom, who came quickly. She saw the snake and the bite, and she was angry. + +"Bad snake! Go away!" she shouted, and threw a stick at it. The snake hissed and slithered away. + +Mom took Tim inside and cleaned his wound. She put some medicine and a bandage on it. She hugged Tim and said, "I'm sorry, Tim. You were brave, but you were also foolish. You should not touch things you don't know. They can be dangerous and hurt you. Next time, listen to your brother. He was trying to help you." + +Tim nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Sam. I learned my lesson. I will not touch snakes again. They are not nice. They are envious and mean." + +Sam hugged Tim and said, "It's okay, Tim. I'm glad you are okay. I love you, brother. Let's play something else tomorrow." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you both, my boys. You are good brothers. Now, rest and get well." +Tom and Lily were playing with their wagon in the park. They liked to fill it with leaves, rocks and sticks and pretend they were going on a trip. They took turns pulling the wagon and telling each other stories. + +One day, they saw a big dog running towards them. It was black and brown and had a loud bark. Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know the dog or its owner. They hugged each other and hoped the dog would go away. + +But the dog did not go away. It came closer and closer, sniffing and growling. It jumped on the wagon and knocked it over. The leaves, rocks and sticks spilled on the ground. The dog started to chew on the wagon and make holes in it. + +"Stop it! Stop it!" Tom shouted at the dog. He pointed at the wagon and tried to push the dog away. "That's our wagon! You are breaking it!" + +Lily started to cry. She was sad and angry. She loved her wagon and did not want it to be ruined. She looked around and saw a man walking towards them. He had a leash in his hand and a harsh look on his face. + +"Hey, you! Get away from my dog!" the man yelled at Tom and Lily. He did not care that the dog was hurting the wagon or scaring the children. He only cared about his dog. + +Tom and Lily were shocked. They did not understand why the man was so mean. They did not do anything wrong. They just wanted to play with their wagon. + +"Your dog is bad! He broke our wagon!" Lily said to the man. She pointed at the wagon and showed him the holes and scratches. + +The man did not listen. He grabbed the dog by the leash and dragged him away. He did not say sorry or help them fix the wagon. He just left. + +Tom and Lily felt sad and alone. They picked up the wagon and tried to put it back together. They hugged each other and hoped to find a nicer dog and a nicer man next time. +Tim and Sue are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They are having fun. But then Tim sees a big dog. The dog is barking and jumping. Tim feels scared. He wants to run away. + +"Look, Sue, a dog!" Tim says. "Let's go away!" + +But Sue likes dogs. She does not feel scared. She feels an urge to pet the dog. She thinks the dog is friendly and cute. + +"No, Tim, let's stay!" Sue says. "The dog is nice. I want to touch it!" + +Sue walks towards the dog. She smiles and says, "Hello, doggy!" She reaches out her hand. But the dog does not like Sue. The dog feels angry and harsh. The dog snaps at Sue. Sue screams and pulls back her hand. She feels pain and shock. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sue cries. "The dog bit me! It hurts!" + +Tim runs to Sue. He feels sorry and worried. He hugs Sue and says, "I'm sorry, Sue. Are you okay?" + +Sue nods and wipes her tears. She says, "I'm okay, Tim. But the dog is mean. I don't like it anymore." + +Tim and Sue leave the dog alone. They go to find their mom. They tell her what happened. Their mom feels sad and angry. She says, "That dog is bad. It should not bite. You should be careful with dogs. Some are nice, some are not." + +Tim and Sue agree. They say, "Yes, mom. We will be careful. We love you." + +Their mom hugs them and says, "I love you too. Let's go home and put some ice on your hand." +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to pretend they were police and chase the bad guys. Ben had a blue car and Lily had a red car. + +"Stop, bad guy! You are going too fast!" Ben shouted, as he drove his car behind Lily's. + +"No, you can't catch me! I am too smart!" Lily said, as she turned her car around the sofa. + +They zoomed and crashed their cars, making loud noises. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Ben! Lily! Come and eat, please!" Mom said, as she came into the living room. She saw the mess of toys and books on the floor. She was not happy. + +"Look at this! You need to clean up your toys before you eat. How many cars do you have?" Mom asked. + +Ben and Lily stopped playing and looked at their mom. They knew they had to listen to her. + +"Sorry, mom. We were playing police," Ben said. + +"We can count our cars, mom," Lily said. + +"Okay, let's count them together. Then you can put them in the box," Mom said. + +She helped them pick up their cars and count them. Ben had four cars and Lily had three cars. + +"Good job, you can count very well. Now, let's go and have some lunch. You must be hungry after playing so hard," Mom said. + +She smiled and hugged them. Ben and Lily felt calm and happy. They followed their mom to the kitchen, holding their cars. They liked to play police, but they also liked to eat. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, Tom saw a new toy in Lily's room. It was a magic wand that could make things change color. Tom wanted to try it, but Lily said no. + +"Please, let me borrow your magic wand," Tom begged. "I will give it back soon." + +"No, it is mine," Lily said. "It is very special and famous. My grandma gave it to me. You might break it or lose it." + +Tom was sad and angry. He waited until Lily went to the bathroom, and then he took the magic wand from her room. He ran outside and started to wave it at everything. He made the grass blue, the sky green, and the flowers purple. He laughed and felt happy. + +But then, he heard Lily scream. She came out and saw what Tom had done. She was very upset and cried. + +"Tom, how could you do this?" she said. "You took my magic wand without asking. You made everything look wrong. You are a bad friend." + +Tom felt sorry and scared. He tried to fix what he had done, but he did not know how. The magic wand did not work anymore. He had used up all the magic. + +He gave the wand back to Lily and said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was wrong to take your magic wand. I wanted to have fun, but I did not think about your feelings. I hope you can forgive me." + +Lily was still angry, but she saw that Tom was sorry. She said, "I forgive you, Tom, but you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will never take anything from anyone without asking. And you have to help me find a way to make everything look normal again." + +Tom nodded and said, "I promise, Lily. I learned my lesson. Borrowing is not good if you do not ask. And magic is not a toy to play with. It is something to respect and share." + +They hugged and went to look for help. They hoped that someone could fix the magic mess they had made. They also hoped that they could still be friends. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, Tom has a new box. It is big and brown. He shows it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, I have a new box. Do you want to play with me?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, Tom, I like your new box. What can we do with it?" Lily says. + +"We can paint it. I have many colors. We can make it pretty and fun," Tom says. + +They go to Tom's house. They find some paint and brushes. They start to paint the box. They paint red and blue and yellow and green. They paint flowers and stars and animals and shapes. They have fun. + +The box looks very nice. Tom and Lily are happy. They go inside the box. They pretend it is a house. They have a tea party. They invite their toys. They share some cookies and juice. + +"Your new box is the best, Tom. I like to paint with you," Lily says. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I like to play with you," Tom says. + +They hug and smile. They enjoy their new box. They are happy. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside with their ball. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to roll down the hill with their ball. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Sam says. "It will be fun!" + +"OK, Sam!" Tom says. "But be careful!" + +They run to the hill with their ball. They take turns to roll down the hill. They laugh and shout. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, something bad happens. Sam rolls down the hill too fast. He hits a rock with his leg. He feels a lot of pain. He cries out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam says. "My leg hurts!" + +Tom hears Sam's cry. He runs to him. He sees Sam's leg. It is bent in a wrong way. It has a big bump. It is pale. + +"Oh no, Sam!" Tom says. "You broke your bone!" + +Tom is scared. He does not know what to do. He looks around. He sees their house. He sees their mom. + +"Mom, mom, help!" Tom shouts. "Sam broke his bone!" + +Their mom hears Tom's shout. She runs to them. She sees Sam's leg. She is worried. She hugs Sam. She calls for help. + +"Don't worry, Sam," their mom says. "You will be OK. The doctor will fix your bone." + +Sam is still in pain. He is still crying. But he feels a little better. He has his mom and his brother. They love him. They will help him. He hopes his bone will heal soon. He hopes he can play with his ball again. +Lily liked to jog with her dog Spot. They jogged every day in the park. They saw many things in the park. They saw birds and flowers and trees. They saw other dogs and people.

He was feeding the animals and fixing the fence. He saw Lily and Spot. He smiled and waved. + +Lily and Spot jogged to the farmer. They wanted to see the animals. The farmer was generous. He let them pet the cows and pigs and chickens. He gave them some milk and eggs and bread. He told them stories about the farm. Lily and Spot liked the farmer. They thanked him for his kindness. + +Lily and Spot jogged back to the park. They were happy and full. They had made a new friend. They decided to visit the farmer again. They liked his farm and his animals. They liked his generous heart. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. Every morning, they would run to the window and wave to their friends who lived across the street. They would shout "Hello!" and "Good morning!" and make funny faces. + +One morning, Sam and Lily saw a big truck parked in front of their friends' house. They saw their friends carrying boxes and bags and putting them in the truck. They wondered what was going on. + +"Where are they going?" Sam asked. + +"Maybe they are moving to a new house," Lily said. + +Sam and Lily felt sad. They did not want their friends to leave. They ran to the door and asked their mom if they could go and say goodbye. + +"Not now, sweeties," their mom said. "They are very busy. We can go later, after they finish packing." + +But Sam and Lily were stubborn. They did not listen to their mom. They put on their shoes and coats and sneaked out of the door. They ran across the street and knocked on their friends' door. + +Their friends' mom opened the door and smiled. She saw Sam and Lily holding hands and looking sad. + +"Hi, Sam and Lily," she said. "What are you doing here?" + +"We came to say goodbye," Sam said. + +"We will miss you," Lily said. + +Their friends' mom hugged them and said, "We will miss you too. But we are not moving far away. We are just moving to a bigger house in the next street. You can still come and play with us anytime." + +Sam and Lily felt happy. They were glad their friends were not leaving for good. They saw their friends coming out of the house with their toys and books. They ran to them and gave them hugs and kisses. + +"Can we help you pack?" Sam asked. + +"Can we wave to you from the window?" Lily asked. + +Their friends nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, you can. You are the best friends ever." + +Sam and Lily helped their friends pack their truck. They waved to them from the window as they drove away. They said, "See you soon!" + +They went back to their house and told their mom what happened. Their mom was not angry. She was proud of them for being good friends. She said, "You are very kind and brave. But next time, please ask me before you go outside." + +Sam and Lily nodded and said, "Sorry, mom. We love you." + +They hugged their mom and went to their room. They looked out of the window and saw their friends' new house. They waved to them and said, "Good morning!" +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. Lily wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Ben follows her. + +"Look at me, Ben!" Lily says. "I am going to slide very fast!" + +She sits on the slide and pushes herself down. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs as she slides. She likes the slide. + +Ben waits for his turn. He sees a whip on the ground. It is long and brown. He picks it up and swings it in the air. He makes a loud noise. He thinks he is a cowboy. + +"Yee-haw!" Ben says. "I have a whip!" + +He runs to the slide and tries to whip Lily. He misses and hits the slide. The slide makes a loud clang. Lily is scared. She stops laughing and cries. + +"Ben, stop it!" Lily says. "You hurt the slide and me!" + +Ben feels sorry. He drops the whip and hugs Lily. He says he is sorry. He asks her to slide with him. + +"OK, Ben," Lily says. "But be nice. Don't whip me or the slide." + +They sit on the slide together. They hold hands and slide down. They see their mom waiting for them. She has a big smile and an open bag. She has snacks for them. + +"Hi, mom!" Lily and Ben say. "We had fun on the slide!" + +They run to their mom and hug her. They tell her about the slide and the whip. They share the snacks and laugh. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Celebrate the alligator's birthday at the zoo today!" + +"Wow, an alligator's birthday!" Sara says. "Let's go and see!" + +"OK, but we have to be tidy," Ben says. "We have to wear our hats and coats and shoes." + +They put on their hats and coats and shoes and go to the zoo. They see many animals. They see lions and monkeys and elephants. But they want to see the alligator. + +They find the alligator's pool. The alligator is big and green and has many teeth. He is wearing a party hat.

She wants to try another trick. She hopes it is not difficult. She hopes it does not make her hair messy. She smiles at Tim. She says, "Yes, Tim, show me another trick." + +Tim smiles back. He says, "Okay, Mia, this time you can twist the spaghetti on your fork. Like this." He shows Mia how he twists the spaghetti. He says, "This way, the spaghetti does not slip. It stays on your fork. And it is fun." + +Mia watches Tim. She thinks it looks fun. She tries to twist the spaghetti on her fork. She does it slowly and carefully. She does not lean. She does not slurp. She does not get spaghetti in her hair. She is happy. She says, "Thank you, Tim, this is a good trick. I like it." + +Tim and Mia eat their spaghetti. They twist and bite. They do not make a mess. They enjoy their dinner. They are good friends. They are happy. +Sara and Ben love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the helicopter.

Is this your helicopter?" + +Grandma says, "No, my dears. This is a special helicopter. It is here to bring me to the hospital. I have to go for a check-up. But don't worry, I will be back soon. And you can come with me if you want." + +Sara and Ben are excited and scared. They want to go with grandma, but they are afraid of the helicopter. Grandma says, "It's okay, my loves. The helicopter is safe and fun. You can sit with me and see the sky and the trees and the houses. And the pilot is very nice. He will let you wear a headset and talk to him. Do you want to try?" + +Sara and Ben look at each other and nod. They say, "Yes, grandma. We want to go with you.

This is the best surprise ever." +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big hill with green grass. They decided to roll down the hill and have fun. + +"Come on, Lily, let's roll!" Tom said. He lay down on the grass and started to roll. He felt the wind on his face and the sun on his back. He laughed and shouted. + +Lily followed him and lay down on the grass too. She rolled after him, but she was not as fast. She saw Tom reach the bottom of the hill and stand up. She tried to catch up, but she hit a rock on the way. She hurt her palm and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said. She looked at her palm and saw blood. She was scared and sad. + +Tom heard her cry and ran back to her. He saw her palm and felt sorry. He took her hand and said, "Don't worry, Lily, I'll help you. Let's go to my mom. She can clean your palm and put a bandage on it. It will be better soon." + +They walked to Tom's house, where his mom was waiting. She saw Lily's palm and said, "Oh, poor Lily, what happened?" She took her inside and washed her palm with water and soap. She put a bandage on it and gave her a hug. She said, "There, there, Lily, you're a brave girl. You'll be fine. Do you want some juice and cookies?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom's mom. You're very nice. And thank you, Tom, for being my friend. You're very kind." + +Tom smiled too. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're my friend. I'm sorry you hurt your palm. Next time, we'll be more careful when we roll down the hill. Or maybe we can play something else. Like catch or tag or hide and seek." + +Lily agreed. She said, "Yes, let's play something else. Rolling down the hill was fun, but also dangerous. We don't want to get hurt again. We want to be healthy and happy." + +They drank their juice and ate their cookies. They felt better and played together.

But his favorite flowers were the blue ones that smelled like mint. + +One day, he asked his mom what they were called. She told him they were lavender. He tried to say the word, but it was hard. He said, "Lav-ender?" She smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. Lavender. They are very pretty and they make the air smell nice." + +Sam wanted to remember the word, so he repeated it to himself.

She was having fun. + +Ben waited for his turn. He was impatient and bored. He saw a lazy cat sleeping under a tree. He thought it would be funny to scare the cat.

He dropped the stick and held his arm. + +Lily heard Ben and ran to him. She saw the scratch and the stick. She was angry and sad. + +"Why did you do that?" she asked. "That was mean and silly. You hurt the cat and yourself. And you lost your turn to fly the kite." + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he had made a mistake. He said sorry to Lily and the cat.

They hug Mom. They hug each other. They say sorry. They say thank you. They are kind and polite. + +"Can we play pretend again?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, you can.

I will try to play with you. What game do you want to play? Lily smiled. She said: How about we play line up? We can make a line with all the girls and take turns to lead the line.

She comes to the room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Stop, Lila and Ben. Why are you fighting? You are friends. You should share and learn from each other. Numbers are fun and interesting. They are not for fighting." + +She picks up a bow from the shelf. She says, "Look, this is a bow. It is a curve. It has a start and an end.

They are friends again. + +Mom says, "Good, Lila and Ben. I am proud of you. You can play with your books again. But remember, numbers are not just shapes. They have meanings and stories. They can help you count and measure and compare and solve problems. They can also make you wonder and imagine and discover. Zero is not nothing. It is a distant star. It is a mystery. It is a possibility. Can you find out more about zero and other numbers?" + +Lila and Ben nod. They are curious. They thank Mom and take their books. They sit on the floor and look at their books.

He wished he had been more careful and kind. He wished he had not hit the ball or hurt the boy. He wished he had not rushed so much. He learned that being in a hurry is not always good.

She yells at Sara and tells her that she has ruined many things. She tells her that the white thing is not a crayon, but an eraser.

She knows she has done something wrong. She wishes she could undo what she has done. She wishes she could make Mommy happy again. She goes to her room and cries.

You are my best friend. Can you stay with me?" + +The snowman smiled. He said, "Anna, you are very kind. You are my best friend too. But I cannot stay with you. I am made of snow.

Mom helped them put on their clothes. They had sandwiches and juice. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." Mom said, "I love you too, Lily and Tom. You are my sweet children." She hugged them and kissed them. They went to their beds and fell asleep. They dreamed of diving and fish. They had a good day. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big palace with many windows and doors. They wanted to see what was inside, so they walked to the gate and asked the guard. + +"Can we go in and look at the palace?" Anna asked. + +"No, you can't. This is the king's palace and you are not allowed here. Go away, you little pests!" the guard said. He was very rude and angry. + +Anna and Ben felt sad and scared. They ran away from the gate and looked for another place to play. They found a nice park with flowers and swings and slides. They had fun playing there and forgot about the palace. + +The next day, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big fire in the palace. Smoke and flames came out of the windows and doors. The guard and the king and the people who lived in the palace ran out, screaming and crying. They had no place to go. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for them. They ran to the park and asked the other children who were playing there. + +"Can we share our park with the people from the palace? They have no place to play and they are very sad," Ben asked. + +"Of course, we can. We are not rude and angry like the guard. We are kind and friendly. Come on, let's go and invite them," the other children said. + +They all went to the people from the palace and said, "Hello, we are sorry about your fire. Do you want to come and play with us in our park? We have flowers and swings and slides and we can have fun together." + +The people from the palace were surprised and happy. They thanked the children and went with them to the park. They played and laughed and made new friends. + +The guard and the king felt ashamed. They realized that they had been rude and mean to the children who had been kind and generous to them. They learned a lesson: they should not judge people by how they look or where they come from. They should treat everyone with respect and kindness. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they see a big toy shop. They want to buy some toys. They have some money from their moms. + +They go inside the toy shop. They see many nice toys. They see dolls, cars, balls, books, and more. They want to buy everything. But they do not have enough money. + +They start to worry. They do not know what to do. They see a man. He works in the toy shop. He smiles at them. He says he can help them. He says he can give them more money. He says they can buy all the toys they want. He says they only have to follow him. + +Tom and Sue are happy. They think the man is nice. They follow him. They do not know he is bad. He is not a worker. He is a thief. He wants to take their money and their toys. He wants to hurt them. + +He takes them to a dark place. He locks the door. He laughs at them. He says he tricked them. He says he will not give them any toys. He says he will keep their money. He says he will call his friends. He says they will do bad things to them. + +Tom and Sue are scared. They cry. They want to go back. They want their moms. They want their toys. They made a big mistake. They should not have followed the man. They should have been careful. They should have listened to their moms. They are in big trouble. The end. +Tom and Lily are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like the switch the most. The switch can make the lights go on and off. Tom and Lily take turns to press the switch and watch the lights change. + +"Look, Lily, I can make the lights go red!" Tom says. He presses the switch and the lights turn red. + +"Wow, Tom, that is cool!" Lily says. She presses the switch and the lights turn blue. + +They keep playing with the switch and the lights. They make the lights go yellow, green, purple and pink. They laugh and clap their hands. + +But then, Mom comes into the living room. She sees Tom and Lily playing with the switch. She is not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, stop playing with the switch!" Mom says. "You are wasting electricity and hurting your eyes. The switch is not a toy. It is for grown-ups only." + +Tom and Lily are scared. They stop playing with the switch. They look at Mom with big eyes. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom says. + +"Sorry, Mom," Lily says. + +Mom sighs. She is not angry anymore. She loves Tom and Lily very much. She knows they are curious and like to explore. + +"It's okay, Tom and Lily," Mom says. "I know you were having fun. But you have to be careful with the switch. It can be dangerous. And you have other toys to play with. Why don't you play with your blocks or your dolls?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They understand. They hug Mom and say they love her. + +"I love you too, Tom and Lily," Mom says. "Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies. How does that sound?" + +"Fine, Mom," Tom says. + +"Fine, Mom," Lily says. + +They go to the kitchen with Mom. They leave the switch alone. They have some cookies and milk. They are happy. +Lily liked to play with her penny. It was shiny and round and made a nice sound when she rolled it on the floor. She had found it in the park with her mom and dad. They said she could keep it if she was obedient and did not lose it. + +One day, Lily was playing with her penny in her room. She heard her mom call her for lunch. She wanted to finish her game, so she said, "Just a minute, Mom!" She rolled the penny one more time and then put it on her bed. She ran to the kitchen to eat. + +After lunch, Lily wanted to play with her penny again. She went back to her room and looked for it on her bed. But it was not there. She looked under the pillow, under the blanket, under the mattress. She could not find it. She felt sad and scared. She thought she had lost her penny. + +She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, I can't find my penny! I left it on my bed, but it's gone! Where is it, Mom?" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I saw your penny on your bed when I came to shut your window. It was windy and I didn't want it to blow away. I put it in your piggy bank for safekeeping. See, it's right here." + +She took Lily to her room and showed her the piggy bank on the shelf. She shook it and Lily heard the sound of her penny inside. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom! You are so smart and kind. I'm sorry I didn't come for lunch right away. I will be more obedient next time." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you very much. And I'm proud of you for taking good care of your penny. It's a special treasure. Now, do you want to play with it some more?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please! Can I roll it on the floor again?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, but be careful not to lose it. And remember to put it back in your piggy bank when you're done." + +Lily said, "OK, Mom. I will. I love you, too." + +She took her penny out of the piggy bank and rolled it on the floor. She had fun playing with her shiny, round, and special penny. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play near the harbor. They saw many big boats and small fish in the water. Sometimes they met other children who also liked to play there. + +One day, they saw a new boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. Tom and Lily decided to talk to him. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Tom asked. + +"Sam," the boy said. + +"Why are you sad?" Lily asked. + +"I just moved here with my mom. I miss my old home and my friends. I don't know anyone here," Sam said. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for Sam. They knew how hard it was to change places and leave behind what you loved. + +"We can be your friends," Tom said. "We also moved here a year ago. We like the harbor and the boats and the fish. Do you want to play with us?" + +Sam smiled a little. He nodded and followed Tom and Lily to the water. They showed him their favorite spots and games. They laughed and had fun together. + +Sam felt happier and less lonely. He was grateful to Tom and Lily for being kind and friendly. He realized that change was not always bad.

He hopped so fast that he made a big shadow on the ground. + +"Look, bunny, you have a big shadow!" Lily said. "It looks like another bunny. Can you hop with your shadow?" + +Bunny nodded and hopped with his shadow. He hopped high and low, left and right, and made his shadow do the same. Lily clapped and laughed. She thought it was a brilliant game. + +But then, a cloud came and covered the sun. The shadow disappeared. Bunny stopped hopping and looked around. He could not see his shadow anymore. + +"Where did your shadow go, bunny?" Lily asked. "Did it hide?" + +Bunny shook his head and looked sad. He liked his shadow. He wanted to hop with it again. + +Lily hugged her bunny and said, "Don't be sad, bunny. The cloud will go away soon. Then your shadow will come back. And we can hop with it again. OK?" + +Bunny smiled and nodded. He hugged Lily back and said, "OK. Thank you, Lily. You are my best friend." + +They waited for the cloud to go away. And when it did, they saw their shadows again.

Tom said. + +"Wow, Tom, it is so shiny!" Lily said. + +They heard a loud noise. It was a crack. The branch they were on was breaking. They were scared.

They reached the tree and caught Tom and Lily. They hugged them and kissed them. + +"Are you okay, my darlings?" Mom said. + +"We are sorry, mom, we were silly. We won't climb the tree again." Lily said. + +"Thank you, dad, for saving us. We were scared." Tom said. + +"It's okay, my loves, we are here. You are brave. But you have to be careful. The tree is old and dull. The branches are weak and can crack. Next time, play on the ground or on the toys." Dad said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They went back to the swing, the slide and the run. They had fun. They were safe. They were happy. +Lily was a good and obedient girl. She liked to learn new things from her aunt. Her aunt taught her how to draw, how to sing, and how to count. Lily loved her aunt very much. + +One day, Lily and her aunt went to the park. They saw many flowers, birds, and dogs. Lily wanted to touch them all. Her aunt said, "No, Lily, you have to be careful. Some flowers have thorns, some birds can bite, and some dogs can bark. You have to ask before you touch them." + +But Lily was curious and did not listen. She ran to a big red flower and tried to pick it. But the flower had a sharp thorn and it hurt her finger. Lily cried out loud. Her aunt came and hugged her.

You can learn from your mistakes. Come, let me show you how to draw a flower. It will not hurt you." +Sara and Tom are playing with yarn. They like to make things with yarn. They make hats, scarves, and dolls. Sara has a lot of yarn in different colors. Tom has only one ball of yarn. It is blue. + +"Can I have some of your yarn, Sara?" Tom asks. "I want to make a big blanket." + +"No, you can't," Sara says. "This is my yarn. You have your own yarn." + +"But your yarn is so pretty," Tom says. "And I don't have enough yarn. Please, Sara, share with me." + +Sara shakes her head. She does not want to share. She pulls her yarn away from Tom. Tom pulls back. They tug and tug on the yarn. The yarn breaks.

Sara counts to ten and then looks for Ben. She checks the kitchen, the living room, and the bathroom, but she cannot find him. + +"Where are you, Ben?" she calls out.

He does not like to lose. He pouts and crosses his arms. + +"No fair!" he says. "You cheated! You heard me giggle!" + +Sara laughs and hugs him. "I did not cheat, Ben. You are just a loud giggler. Come on, let's play again. You can be the seeker this time." + +Ben cheers up and nods. He likes to be the seeker. He thinks he can find Sara easily. He covers his eyes and starts to count. + +"One, two, three..." he says. + +Sara runs to find a new hiding spot. She hopes Ben will not guess it. She thinks hide and seek is a fun game. +Lily was a thoughtful girl who liked to help others. She had a friend named Ben who had a cane. Ben had a cane because his leg was hurt and he could not walk fast. Lily and Ben liked to play in the park, but sometimes Ben got tired and sad. + +One day, Lily had an idea. She asked her mom if she could have some balloons and string. Her mom said yes and gave her some money. Lily went to the store and bought many balloons and string. She tied the balloons to Ben's cane and went to the park. + +"Look, Ben, I have a surprise for you!" Lily said, holding the cane with the balloons. "Now your cane can fly!" + +Ben smiled and took the cane. He felt the balloons lift his cane and make it lighter. He tried to walk with the cane and the balloons. He felt like he was flying too. + +"Wow, Lily, this is so fun!" Ben said. "Thank you for being so thoughtful. You are the best friend ever!" + +Lily and Ben played with the cane and the balloons for a long time. They laughed and ran and flew. They were very happy. +Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to play marriage. They put on fake rings and fake dresses and fake suits. They said, "I do" and kissed. + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was a big plane. It was soaring in the sky. It looked shiny and fast. Lila and Tom wanted to see it better. They ran to the window and waved at the plane. + +"Wow, look at that plane!" Tom said. "It is so high and so cool!" + +"I wish we could fly like that!" Lila said. "Maybe we can pretend we are pilots!" + +"Okay, let's do that!" Tom said.

They were happy. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play outside in the park. They have a ball and a frisbee. They throw the ball and the frisbee to each other. They run and catch and laugh. They are doing exercise and having fun. + +"Look, Lily, I can throw the ball very high!" Tom says. He throws the ball up in the air. It goes very high and then comes down fast. + +"Wow, Tom, that's amazing!" Lily says. She tries to catch the ball, but it is too fast. It bounces off her head and rolls away. + +"Oops, sorry, Lily!" Tom says. He runs after the ball. He sees a dog. The dog sees the ball. The dog is excited. It wants to play too. It runs after the ball and grabs it in its mouth. + +"Hey, dog, that's our ball!" Lily says. She runs after the dog. She tries to get the ball back, but the dog is too strong. It shakes its head and runs away with the ball. + +"Come back, dog, come back!" Tom and Lily shout. They chase the dog across the park. They are tired, but they don't give up. They want their ball back. They hope the dog will be nice and share. +Ben and Mia were playing with snow in the garden. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very happy with their snowman. + +"Look, parent, look!" Ben shouted. "We made a snowman!" + +Parent came out of the house and smiled. "You did a great job, Ben and Mia. Your snowman is very nice." + +"Can we keep him, parent?" Mia asked. "Can he stay with us?" + +Parent hugged Mia and said, "I'm sorry, Mia, but we can't keep him. He will melt when the sun comes out. He is made of snow, and snow turns into water when it gets warm." + +Mia looked sad. She liked the snowman. She wanted him to be her friend. + +"But we can take a picture of him, Mia," parent said. "Then we can remember him always. And we can make another snowman when it snows again. How does that sound?" + +Mia nodded. She liked the idea of taking a picture. She smiled and said, "OK, parent. You are very reliable. You always have good ideas." + +Parent took a picture of Ben, Mia and the snowman. They all smiled and said, "Cheese!"

"Can we come back tomorrow?" + +"Maybe, if you behave well," Dad said. "But first, let's get in the car." + +Sara ran to the car, but then she stopped. She felt something was missing. She looked at her hands. They were empty. She remembered her purple crystal. She left it in the sandbox! + +"Mom, Dad, wait!" Sara cried. "I forgot my crystal!" + +She ran back to the sandbox, but it was too late. The crystal was gone. Someone else had taken it. Sara felt sad and angry. She wanted her crystal back.

They hugged her and said they were sorry. + +"Don't worry, Sara, we'll find you another crystal," Mom said. + +"But I want my crystal, the one grandma gave me," Sara said. "It was special." + +"I know, honey, I know," Dad said. "But maybe this is a lesson for you. You have to be careful with your things, and not forget them. Grandma would want you to learn from this." + +Sara nodded. She understood. She still missed her crystal, but she also knew Dad was right. She had to be more responsible. She hoped grandma would forgive her. She hoped she would find her crystal again someday. She hoped it would remind her of grandma's love. +Ben and Lily wanted to make a gift for Mom. They found some paper and tape and scissors. They looked for something to wrap. + +"Let's wrap this book," Ben said. He liked the book with the big animals. + +"No, let's wrap this doll," Lily said. She liked the doll with the long hair. + +They argued and pulled the book and the doll. The paper tore and the tape stuck to their fingers. + +"Stop it!" Mom said.

One day, she saw a big rock near the sea. She thought it would be a good place to hide. She ran to the rock and crawled under it. + +But when she was under the rock, she felt something hard and round. It was an oyster. Lily had never seen an oyster before. She was curious. She wanted to see what was inside. She tried to open the oyster with her fingers, but it was too tight. She looked around and saw a stick. She used the stick to pry the oyster open. + +Inside the oyster, she saw something shiny and white. It was a pearl. Lily was amazed. She had never seen a pearl before. She thought it was very pretty.

She apologized to them for hiding too long. She asked them if they wanted to play again. They said yes and hugged her. Lily felt happy and loved. She learned that friends are more important than things. She learned that regular things can be more fun than shiny things. She learned to be happy with what she had. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big red truck with a lot of ice cream.

They saw other kids eating ice cream and licking their lips. + +They had an idea. They decided to pull the ice cream from the other kids. They waited until the other kids were not looking. Then they ran to them and pulled the ice cream from their hands. + +"Hey, that's mine!" the other kids shouted. They were angry and chased Anna and Ben. + +Anna and Ben ran away with the ice cream. They laughed and thought they were clever. They did not care about the other kids. + +They found a bench and sat down. They started to eat the ice cream. It was cold and sweet and delicious. They felt happy. + +But then they felt something else. They felt a pain in their waist. They felt sick. They looked at the ice cream. It was not ice cream. It was something else. It was bad. + +They had pulled the wrong ice cream. They had pulled the ice cream that the man used to feed his dog. It was not for people. It was for dogs. + +Anna and Ben cried. They threw away the ice cream. They wished they had not pulled the ice cream. They wished they had been nice to the other kids. They wished they had money.

They loved spring, because it was warm and sunny and they could see many birds and bugs. + +One day, their mom told them to get ready for lunch. She said, "Lily and Ben, come inside now. It is time to eat. Do not leave your toys outside. Put them away in the shed." + +But Lily and Ben did not listen. They were having too much fun on the swing. They said, "Mom, we are not hungry. We want to play more. We will come later." + +Mom was not happy. She said, "Lily and Ben, you are being naughty. You have to obey me. If you do not come inside now, you will not get any dessert." + +Lily and Ben still did not listen. They said, "Mom, we do not care. We do not like dessert. We like swing more." + +Mom was very angry. She said, "Lily and Ben, you are making me sad. You are not being good children. I will leave you outside and go inside by myself. Maybe then you will learn your lesson." + +Mom went inside and closed the door. Lily and Ben were surprised. They did not think Mom would really leave them outside. They felt scared and sorry. They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We were wrong. We will come inside now. Please open the door." + +But Mom did not open the door. She waited for a few minutes to teach them a lesson. Lily and Ben cried and knocked on the door. They said, "Mom, we love you. We will not be naughty again. We will put away our toys. Please let us in." + +Mom heard them and felt sorry for them. She opened the door and hugged them. She said, "Lily and Ben, I love you too. I am glad you are sorry. But you have to listen to me and do what I say. That is how you show me you love me. Now, let us go and have lunch. And maybe, if you are good, you can have some dessert too." + +Lily and Ben said, "Thank you, Mom. We will listen to you and do what you say. We are happy to have lunch with you. And we hope we can have some dessert too." + +They went inside and had lunch. They also put away their toys in the shed.

She likes to go fast and feel the wind on her face. She likes to race with her friends and see who can reach the park first. + +But Lily does not like to read. She thinks reading is hard and boring. She does not know many words and she gets stuck on the big ones. She does not like to do her homework and she does not listen to her teacher. + +One day, her mom tells her that she has a tutor. A tutor is someone who helps you learn. Lily does not want a tutor. She wants to speed on her bike. + +The tutor comes to Lily's house. She is a nice lady with glasses and a smile. She brings some books and some games. She says, "Hello, Lily. I am here to help you read. Reading is fun and important. Do you want to try?" + +Lily shakes her head. She says, "No, thank you. I do not like to read. I like to speed on my bike. Can I go outside?" + +The tutor says, "I understand. But you need to read to learn many things. Reading can also be fun. You can read about bikes and speed and many other things. How about we make a deal? If you read with me for a little while, then you can go outside and speed on your bike. What do you say?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She does not want to read, but she wants to speed on her bike. She says, "Okay, fine. But only for a little while." + +The tutor smiles. She says, "Good. Let's start with this book. It is about a girl who loves to speed on her bike. Maybe you will like it." + +Lily looks at the book. She sees a picture of a girl on a bike. She feels curious. She says, "Okay, let's read it." + +The tutor and Lily start to read the book. Lily finds out that the girl's name is Zoe and that she likes to speed on her bike too. She also finds out that Zoe has a problem. She has a poor bike. Her bike is old and rusty and makes funny noises. She wants a new bike, but she does not have enough money. + +Lily feels sorry for Zoe. She says, "That is sad. She has a poor bike. I have a good bike. I wish I could give her my bike." + +The tutor says, "That is very kind of you, Lily. But maybe there is another way to help Zoe. Do you want to find out?" + +Lily nods. She says, "Yes, please. How can we help Zoe?" + +The tutor says, "Let's keep reading and see what happens." + +Lily and the tutor keep reading the book. They find out that Zoe has a chance to win a new bike. There is a bike race in her town and the prize is a new bike. Zoe wants to enter the race, but she is afraid. She thinks she is not fast enough and that the other kids will laugh at her. + +Lily says, "That is not fair. Zoe should enter the race. She likes to speed on her bike. She can do it. I believe in her." + +The tutor says, "That is very nice of you, Lily. But Zoe needs more than belief. She needs practice and confidence. Do you know what those words mean?" + +Lily says, "No, I do not. What do they mean?" + +The tutor says, "Practice means to do something over and over until you get better. Confidence means to trust yourself and your abilities. Zoe needs to practice her speed and confidence to win the race. Do you want to help her?" + +Lily says, "Yes, I do. How can we help her?" + +The tutor says, "Let's finish the book and see what happens." + +Lily and the tutor finish the book. They find out that Zoe decides to enter the race.

She is fast and confident. She is awesome!" + +The tutor says, "Yes, she is. And so are you, Lily. You read the whole book. You learned new words and skills and you felt proud of yourself. You are fast and confident too. You are awesome!" + +Lily smiles. She says, "Thank you, tutor. You are awesome too. You helped me read. You made reading fun and important. I like reading now. Can we read another book?" + +The tutor says, "Of +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the church with their moms. The church is big and has many windows. Lily and Ben see some pictures on the walls. They are pictures of Jesus and his friends. + +"Who are they?" Lily asks her mom. + +"They are Jesus and his disciples. They are very important people. They taught us how to love and value each other," her mom says. + +"What does value mean?" Ben asks his mom. + +"Value means to care for and respect someone. To think they are special and good," his mom says. + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They smile. + +"I value you, Lily. You are my friend. You are special and good," Ben says. + +"I value you, Ben. You are my friend. You are intelligent and kind," Lily says. + +They hug each other. Their moms are happy. They thank Jesus and his disciples for teaching them how to value their friends. They leave the church and go to the park. They play and have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with their blocks. Sometimes they pretended to be animals or cars or people who lived in their block world. + +"Look, I made a big lion!" Lily said, showing Ben her block animal. "It can roar and run and eat other animals." + +"That's cool, Lily!" Ben said. "But I made a faster car. It can zoom and beep and escape from the lion." He pushed his block car along the floor. + +The lion and the car chased each other around the living room, making noises and having fun. But then, they bumped into the table where Mom had left her coffee and her napkin. The coffee spilled over the table and the napkin and some of it dripped on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said together. They stopped playing and looked at the mess. They knew Mom would be angry if she saw it. They did not want to get in trouble. + +"What do we do?" Lily asked. "How do we solve this?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea. "We can use the napkin to clean the coffee!" he said. "It can soak up the liquid and make the table and the floor dry." + +"Good idea, Ben!" Lily said. She grabbed the napkin and started to wipe the table. Ben helped her and they worked together to clean the mess. They threw the wet napkin in the trash and put the blocks away. + +They were done just in time, because Mom came back to the living room. She did not notice the coffee spill. She smiled at Lily and Ben and said, "You two are such good kids. Do you want a snack?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. They followed Mom to the kitchen, feeling happy and safe. They had solved their problem and avoided trouble. They were proud of themselves. +Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Sara always took good care of Lily. She brushed her hair, changed her dress and hugged her.

He said hello and asked her name. + +"I'm Sara, and this is Lily," Sara said. + +"I'm Ben, and this is my ball," the boy said. He showed her his ball. It was red and shiny. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Sara nodded. She liked the ball. She put Lily on the bench and took the ball. She and Ben threw the ball to each other. They had fun. + +After a while, Sara looked at Lily. She missed her. She wanted to hug her again. She told Ben she had to go. She thanked him for playing with her and gave him the ball. + +"Wait," Ben said. He ran to the bench and picked up Lily. He gave her to Sara. "This is for you. You can keep her. She's very pretty and kind, like you." + +Sara was surprised. She liked Lily, but she also liked Ben. She didn't want to take his doll. She shook her head. "No, thank you. Lily is mine. I value her very much. But you can have the ball. It's very nice and fun, like you." + +Ben smiled. He took the ball. He thanked Sara for the ball and gave her a hug. "You're very kind, too. Maybe we can play again sometime." + +Sara nodded. She hugged him back. She was happy. She had made a new friend. She and her mom waved goodbye to Ben and left the park.

They know they are not being good friends. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom says. + +"Sorry, Mom," Anna says. + +Mom smiles. She takes the cars from Tom and Anna and gives them back to their owners. + +"Tom, this is Anna's car. It is very attractive, but it belongs to her.

They make them zoom and beep and crash. They laugh and shout. + +Mom watches them. She is happy. She knows they are good friends. +Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but he did not share them with anyone. He always said, "They are mine, mine, mine!" + +One day, he found a new toy in his room. It was a big car that could turn and make noises. Tom was very happy and played with it all day. He did not let his sister or his friends touch it. He said, "This is mine, mine, mine!" + +But the next day, something strange happened. The car did not turn or make noises anymore. It was old and broken. Tom was very sad and angry. He said, "This is not fair, not fair, not fair!" + +He went to his mom and asked her to buy him a new car. But his mom said, "No, Tom. You have been very selfish and greedy. You did not take care of your toy or share it with others. Now you have to learn your lesson. You can not have a new car." + +Tom cried and cried. He wished he had been nicer and more generous. He realized that his toy was not as important as his sister and his friends. He said, "I am sorry, sorry, sorry!" + +He went to his sister and his friends and gave them some of his toys. He said, "You can play with these. They are yours, yours, yours!" + +They were very happy and thanked him. They played together and had fun. Tom felt better and smiled.

One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a picture of a red car on it. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "Maybe it is a new car for us!" + +"Let's open it and see!" Lily said. They tore off the tape and lifted the lid. Inside was a shiny red car with four wheels and a steering wheel. It had a button that said "speed". + +"Can we try it?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, why not?" Lily said. "It looks fun!" + +They pushed the car out of the box and onto the driveway. Ben got in the driver's seat and Lily got in the passenger seat. Ben pressed the button that said "speed". The car started to move. + +"Wow, this is fast!" Ben said. + +"Too fast!" Lily said. "Slow down, Ben!" + +But Ben did not slow down. He liked the speed. He turned the steering wheel left and right, making the car swerve and zoom. Lily was scared. She wanted to get out of the car. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" Lily cried. + +But Ben did not stop. He did not hear Lily. He was too busy having fun. He did not see the big tree in front of them. He did not see the car hit the tree with a loud crash. He did not feel the pain. + +Lily felt the pain. She felt the car break and the glass shatter. She felt the blood on her face and her arm. She felt the tears in her eyes. She felt alone. + +She called for Ben, but he did not answer. He was quiet.

It sounded like a growl. + +"What was that?" Lily asked, scared. + +"I don't know," Ben said, also scared. "Maybe it's a monster." + +They looked at the cupboard and saw a mysterious shadow moving inside. They wanted to run away, but they also wanted to see what it was. + +"Let's open the cupboard," Lily said, bravely. + +"Are you sure?" Ben said, nervously. + +They walked slowly to the cupboard and opened the door. They saw a big, furry, friendly dog. It was their neighbor's dog, Max. He had sneaked into their house and smelled the dough. He wanted to eat it. + +"Hi, Max!" Lily and Ben said, happily. "You scared us!" + +Max wagged his tail and licked their faces. He seemed sorry for making them afraid. + +Lily and Ben gave him some dough to play with. They learned that sometimes things that seem scary are not really scary.

The log might be slippery or wobbly," her mom said. + +Ben and Lily ran to the log. They tried to get on it, but it was too high for them.

They pretend that the teddy bear is sick. + +"What is wrong with the teddy bear, doctor?" Lily asks. + +"Let me check," Ben says. He listens to the teddy bear's heart and looks at its ears and nose. He makes a serious face. "The teddy bear has a sore back. It needs a massage." + +"A massage? What is that?" Lily asks. + +"A massage is when you rub someone's back to make them feel better," Ben explains. "It is easy. You just use your hands and move them up and down and side to side." + +"Can I try?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, nurse. You can help me," Ben says. He shows Lily how to massage the teddy bear's back. They take turns to rub the teddy bear gently and softly. + +The teddy bear looks happy. It smiles and makes a purring sound. + +"Wow, the massage works!" Lily says. "The teddy bear is not sick anymore." + +"You are a good nurse, Lily. And I am a good doctor," Ben says. "We make a great team." + +They hug the teddy bear and each other. They are proud of their work. They decide to massage more toys and make them happy too. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, their mom says, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the car." + +Sara and Ben follow their mom to the car. They see a big box with a bow on it. Their mom says, "This is for you. It is from your grandma. She lives far away, but she loves you very much. She sent you a gift. Do you want to open it?" + +Sara and Ben nod and smile. They open the box and see many things inside. They see clothes, books, games, and candy. They also see a small box with a shiny paper. Their mom says, "This is a special gift. It is a jewel. Grandma gave it to me when I was little, and now I give it to you. You can share it and take turns wearing it. It is very pretty and precious. Do you want to see it?" + +Sara and Ben say, "Yes, please!" They open the small box and see a necklace with a gray stone. The stone sparkles in the sun. Sara says, "Wow, it is so beautiful! Can I wear it first?" Ben says, "No, I want to wear it first! It is mine!" Sara and Ben start to argue and pull the necklace. + +Their mom says, "Stop, stop! You are hurting the necklace and each other. You have to be nice and share. Grandma gave you this jewel because she loves you and wants you to be happy. You should love each other and be happy too. How about you take turns wearing it? Sara can wear it today, and Ben can wear it tomorrow. Is that fair?" + +Sara and Ben think for a moment. They see that their mom is right. They say, "Okay, mom. We are sorry. We will share the jewel and be nice." They hug their mom and each other. They thank their mom and grandma for the gift. They put the necklace on Sara and admire how it looks. They decide to play with their other toys and books together. They are happy and grateful. They love their jewel and each other. +Ben was sick. He felt hot and tired. He did not want to play with his toys or watch TV. He just wanted to sleep in his bed. His mom was worried. She put a thermometer in his mouth to check his temperature. The thermometer beeped and showed a high number. Mom frowned and called the doctor. + +The doctor came to Ben's house. He wore a mask and gloves. He looked at Ben's throat and ears. He listened to his chest and tummy. He said Ben had a fever and a sore throat. He gave Ben some medicine and a sticker. He told Mom to give Ben lots of water and rest. He said Ben would feel better soon. + +Ben was still sick. He did not like the medicine. It tasted bad and made him cough. He did not like the sticker. It was too sticky and itchy. He did not like the mask and gloves. They were scary and strange. He was worried. He wondered if he would ever get well. He cried and hugged his teddy bear. + +Mom was still worried. She saw Ben crying and hugged him too. She said she loved him and he was brave. She said the medicine would help him fight the germs. She said the sticker was a reward for being good. She said the mask and gloves were to protect him and the doctor. She said he would get well soon. She kissed his forehead and sang him a lullaby. + +Ben felt a little better. He felt Mom's love and care. He felt the medicine working in his body. He felt the sticker on his arm. He felt the teddy bear in his arms. He was not so worried. He smiled and closed his eyes. He fell asleep and dreamed of happy things. +One day, a boy named Ben and his dog Spot went to the park. They liked to play with a rubber ball that bounced high and far. Ben threw the ball and Spot ran after it. But then, a big problem happened. The ball bounced into a pond with dirty water and green plants. + +Spot did not like the pond. He thought it was disgusting. He did not want to go in and get the ball. He barked and whined at Ben. Ben was sad. He liked his rubber ball very much. He did not want to lose it. He looked around and saw a stick. He had an idea. + +Ben picked up the stick and walked to the edge of the pond. He tried to reach the ball with the stick. He poked and pushed the ball, but it was too far. He needed to get closer. He took a step into the pond. He felt the water on his shoes. It was cold and slimy. He did not like it. He took another step. He felt the water on his socks. It was wet and sticky. He did not like it. He took one more step. He felt the water on his pants. It was heavy and smelly. He did not like it at all. + +But he was close to the ball now. He stretched his arm and the stick. He touched the ball. He pulled it towards him. He got it. He was happy. He lifted the ball and the stick. He turned around and walked back to the shore. He was proud. He had saved his rubber ball. + +Spot was happy too. He wagged his tail and licked Ben's face. He did not care that Ben was disgusting. He loved Ben. He loved the rubber ball. He wanted to play more. Ben smiled and threw the ball again. Spot ran after it. They had fun. They were friends. +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They have a big bag with snacks and toys. They see a big dog with black fur and sharp teeth. The dog runs to them and barks. + +"Go away, dog!" Ben says. He is scared of the dog. He holds Mia's hand. + +The dog does not go away. It wants the bag. It bites the bag and tears it open. Snacks and toys fall out. + +"Stop, dog!" Mia says. She is brave. She picks up a stick and hits the dog. The dog yelps and runs away. + +Ben and Mia hug each other. They are happy. They pick up their snacks and toys. They find a new bag. They go to another place to play. They do not like the scary dog. +Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play in the yard. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls, and blocks. + +One day, they want to build a house with the blocks. They put the blocks on the grass. They make walls and a roof. But the house is too small. They cannot fit inside. + +They see some wood near the fence. The wood is from a tree that fell down. They think the wood can make their house bigger. + +They ask Mom if they can use the wood. Mom says yes, but be careful. The wood has nails and splinters. Mom gives them gloves and a hammer. + +Lila and Tom take the wood to their house. They use the hammer to pull out the nails. They break the wood into smaller pieces. They add the wood to the blocks. They make the house bigger and stronger. + +They are happy. They can fit inside the house. They pretend to live there. They have fun. + +But they do not see the dog. The dog is curious. The dog smells the wood. The dog likes to chew wood. The dog goes to the house. The dog bites the wood. The dog pulls the wood. The dog makes the house fall down. + +Lila and Tom hear a loud noise. They run out of the house. They see the dog. The dog has wood in his mouth. The dog wags his tail. The dog thinks he is playing. + +Lila and Tom are sad. Their house is broken. They cry. They are mad at the dog. + +Mom hears them. Mom comes to the yard. Mom sees the mess. Mom hugs them. Mom says sorry. Mom says they can build another house. Mom says they can use the blocks and the wood. But Mom says they have to watch the dog. Mom says the dog does not know better. Mom says the dog is still their friend. + +Lila and Tom calm down. They wipe their tears. They look at the dog. The dog looks at them. The dog licks them. The dog is sorry. + +Lila and Tom smile. They forgive the dog. They say they love the dog. They say they will build another house. They say they will play with the dog. + +They start again. They have fun. +Ben and Mia were hungry. They wanted to eat some cake. They knew that Mom had put a big cake in the fridge for later. But they did not want to wait. + +"Let's go and get some cake now," Ben said. "Mom is busy in the garden. She will not see us." + +"OK," Mia said. "But we have to be quick and quiet." + +They ran to the kitchen. They opened the fridge. They saw the cake. It looked yummy. They grabbed a big piece each. They did not use a plate or a fork. They were careless. + +They speed back to their room. They ate the cake. It was sweet and soft. They smiled. They were happy. + +But then they heard Mom's voice. She sounded angry. + +"Who took the cake from the fridge?" she asked. "Who made this mess?" + +Ben and Mia felt scared. They knew they were in trouble. They hid under the bed. They hoped Mom would not find them. They were sorry. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play in the snow. They make snowballs and snowmen. They have fun. + +But Tom is not careful. He does not wear his mittens. His hands are cold and red. He says, "Ow, ow, ow! My hands hurt!" + +Anna sees Tom's hands. She is worried. She says, "Tom, you need to wear your mittens. They will keep your hands warm and prevent frostbite. Frostbite is bad. It makes your fingers stiff and numb. You don't want that, do you?" + +Tom shakes his head. He says, "No, I don't want that. But I don't like my mittens. They are too tight and scratchy. They make it hard to throw snowballs and make snowmen. They are not flexible." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She says, "I have a solution. Why don't we swap mittens? Your mittens are bigger and softer than mine. They will fit your hands better and let you move them more. My mittens are smaller and firmer than yours. They will fit my hands better and let me grip them more. They are more flexible for me." + +Tom likes Anna's idea. He says, "OK, let's swap mittens. Thank you, Anna. You are a good sister." + +They swap mittens. They feel more comfortable and happy. They continue to play in the snow. They make snowballs and snowmen. They have fun. +Sam and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make cars and trains with their blocks and wheels. They also had a big magnet that could stick to some of the blocks and make them move. + +"Look, Mia, I made a train with the magnet!" Sam said, showing his sister his creation. "It can go very fast and pull the other blocks behind it." + +"Wow, that's cool, Sam!" Mia said, clapping her hands. "Can I try it too?" + +"Sure, here you go," Sam said, handing her the magnet. "But be careful, don't let it touch the TV or the lamp. Mommy said the magnet can break them." + +Mia nodded and took the magnet. She moved it near the blocks and watched them follow the magnet. She giggled and made the train go around the living room. + +Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. They stopped playing and looked at each other. + +"Who is it?" Sam asked, curious. + +"I don't know," Mia said, shrugging. + +They heard the door open and saw their daddy arrive. He was holding a big box with a bow on it. + +"Hello, my little ones!" he said, smiling. "I have a surprise for you!" + +"What is it, daddy?" Sam and Mia asked, running to him. + +"It's a mysterious gift from your auntie," he said, putting the box on the floor. "Do you want to open it and see what's inside?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Sam and Mia said, excited. + +They tore off the bow and the paper and opened the box. Inside, they saw a lot of colorful and shiny things. They were magnets of different shapes and sizes. Some looked like animals, some looked like stars, some looked like letters. + +"Wow, these are amazing!" Sam said, picking up a magnet that looked like a lion. + +"They are so pretty!" Mia said, grabbing a magnet that looked like a flower. + +"These are special magnets, kids," daddy said, sitting down with them. "They can stick to each other and make different patterns and pictures. You can also use them with your blocks and wheels and make more fun toys. Do you like them?" + +"We love them, daddy!" Sam and Mia said, hugging him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +They spent the rest of the afternoon playing with their new magnets and making all kinds of things. They were very happy and grateful for their mysterious gift. +Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they like the telephone best. It is red and shiny, and it makes funny noises when they press the buttons. + +"Hello, hello, who is this?" Lily says, holding the telephone to her ear. She pretends to talk to someone far away. + +"Me, me, I want to talk!" Ben says, reaching for the telephone. He wants to hear the noises too. + +"No, it's mine, I had it first!" Lily says, pulling the telephone away. She does not want to share. + +They start to tug and shout, and the telephone falls to the floor. It breaks into two pieces. They both stop and look at it. They feel sad and sorry. + +"Mommy, mommy, we broke the telephone!" they cry, running to the kitchen. They hope mommy can fix it. + +Mommy comes to the living room and sees the broken telephone. She is not happy, but she is not angry either. She hugs Lily and Ben and says, "It's okay, accidents happen. But you should not fight over toys. You should share and take turns. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mommy, we understand. We are sorry." + +Mommy smiles and says, "Good. Now, let's see if we can fix the telephone. Maybe we can glue it back together. And then you can play with it again, but this time, be nice and graceful. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, mommy, we can do that. Thank you, mommy." + +They help mommy fix the telephone, and then they play with it again. They take turns and say nice things to each other. They are happy and grateful. +Lily liked to write. She had a large book with many pages. She used a crayon to make letters and pictures. She wrote her name, her mom's name, and her cat's name. She wrote about things she saw and things she dreamed. + +One day, she wanted to write a surprise for her mom. She looked for a new page in her book, but there was none. She was sad. She looked around the kitchen for something else to write on. She saw a big bag of sugar on the counter. It was white and smooth. She thought it would be a good place to write. + +She climbed on a chair and reached for the bag. She opened it and took out a handful of sugar. She sprinkled it on the table and used her finger to write "I love you, Mom". She smiled. She wanted to make more letters, but the bag was too heavy. It slipped from her hand and fell on the floor. The sugar spilled everywhere. It made a big mess. + +Lily heard her mom coming. She was scared. She hid under the table. She hoped her mom would see her surprise and not be angry. + +Her mom walked into the kitchen and saw the sugar. She gasped. She looked for Lily. She saw her under the table. She bent down and said, "Lily, what did you do?" + +Lily peeked out and said, "I wanted to write you a surprise, Mom. Look, I wrote 'I love you, Mom' on the table. Do you like it?" + +Her mom looked at the table and saw the words. She smiled. She hugged Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. Thank you for your surprise. But next time, please don't use sugar to write. It's for eating, not for writing. And it makes a big mess. Let's clean it up together, okay?" + +Lily nodded. She was happy. She helped her mom clean the sugar. She learned a new word: sticky. She decided to write it in her book later. She thought her mom would like it. +Ben loves his puppy, Max. Max is brown and soft and has big ears. Ben likes to play with Max in the park. He throws a ball and Max runs to catch it. Ben laughs and claps his hands. + +One day, Ben sees a girl in the park. She has a puppy too. Her puppy is white and fluffy and has a pink bow. Ben thinks her puppy is attractive. He wants to play with her puppy. He walks to the girl and says hello. + +The girl is not nice. She does not want to share her puppy. She says her puppy is better than Ben's puppy. She says Ben's puppy is ugly and dirty. She makes a mean face and throws a stick at Max. Max yelps and runs away. Ben is angry and sad. He does not like the girl. He wants to help Max. + +Ben picks up the stick and throws it back at the girl. The stick hits her on the head. She cries and drops her puppy. Her puppy runs to Max. Max licks the puppy and wags his tail. The puppy likes Max. Ben runs to Max and hugs him. He says he is sorry and he loves him. Max barks and licks Ben's face. Ben smiles and says he loves him too. + +The girl picks up her puppy and runs away. She says Ben and Max are mean and bad. Ben does not care. He does not want to play with her. He only wants to play with Max. He throws the ball and Max runs to catch it. They have fun in the park. They are happy and good. +Lily liked to write. She had a big book and a red pen. She wrote her name, her mom's name, and her cat's name. She wrote some letters and some shapes. She was very happy. + +One day, Lily went to the farm with her mom. She saw many animals and plants. She saw cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. She saw corn, beans, carrots, and squash. She liked the squash. They were big and round and orange. + +Lily asked her mom if she could write on a squash.

She did not want to take it off. "But I want to wear it, mom. It is so nice." + +Her mom smiled. She had an idea. She took a belt from her closet and wrapped it around Sara's waist. She made a bow at the back. "There, now the dress fits you better. And you look very modern, too." + +Sara looked in the mirror again. She saw that the belt made the dress shorter and tighter.

You are not our friend! You made us sad!" they said. + +The dog did not understand. He thought they were funny. He ran away to find another game. + +Tom and Lily looked at their patch. It was all gone. They had no flowers. They felt very sad. + +They decided to plan a new patch. They got some more seeds and some new dirt. They found a new spot in the garden. They dug a hole and put the seeds in. They covered them with dirt and watered them. They made a fence around the patch. They wrote a sign that said: "No dogs allowed!" + +They hoped the dog would not come back. They hoped to see flowers soon. They smiled and hugged each other. They were still friends. +Ben likes to make things with his hammer. He has a lot of wood and nails in his backyard. He makes a house for his dog, a car for his toys and a chair for his dad. He is very happy when he makes things. + +One day, a big boy comes to his backyard. He sees Ben's things and he laughs. He says they are ugly and silly. He kicks the house, he breaks the car and he throws the chair. He makes Ben very sad and angry. + +Ben runs to his mom and tells her what the big boy did. His mom hugs him and says she is sorry. She says Ben's things are not ugly, they are beautiful. She says the big boy is mean and rude. She says she will talk to his mom and make him say sorry. + +Ben feels better and goes back to his backyard. He sees his things are broken and messy. He picks up his hammer and says he will make them again. He says he will make them stronger and prettier. He says he likes to make things with his hammer. He is very happy when he makes things. +Tom and Sue liked to play in the park. They liked to climb the big hill that looked like a mountain. They liked to slide down the grass and roll on the ground. They liked to find bugs and flowers and rocks. + +One day, they saw a big pile of leaves near the hill. It was brown and yellow and red. It looked like a fun place to hide and jump. Tom and Sue ran to the pile of leaves and started to dig and toss and laugh. + +But something was wrong. The leaves smelled bad. They were wet and soft and sticky. They had holes and spots and worms. They were rotting. Tom and Sue felt sick and scared. They wanted to get out of the pile of leaves. + +They tried to run, but the leaves were too heavy and slippery. They tried to call, but no one heard them. They tried to cry, but no one came. They were stuck in the pile of leaves. + +Then they heard a bark. It was Rex, their dog. Rex was a good dog. He was big and strong and fast. He was reliable. He always came when they called. He always helped them when they needed. He always loved them. + +Rex saw Tom and Sue in the pile of leaves. He knew they were in trouble. He ran to the pile of leaves and started to dig and pull and bite. He made a hole in the pile of leaves. He grabbed Tom and Sue by their shirts and dragged them out of the pile of leaves. + +Tom and Sue hugged Rex and thanked him. They were happy and relieved. They were safe. They decided to never play in the pile of leaves again. They decided to only play on the hill that looked like a mountain. They decided to always stay with Rex, their reliable dog. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their wagon. It was red and had four wheels. They put their toys in the wagon and pulled it around the yard. They had fun with their wagon. + +One day, they saw a big hill. They wanted to go down the hill with their wagon. They put their toys in the wagon and climbed up the hill. They were excited to go fast. + +"Ready, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"Ready, Ben!" Lily said. + +They got in the wagon and pushed off. The wagon went down the hill very fast. Ben and Lily laughed and screamed. They felt the wind in their hair. + +But the wagon was cheap. It was not strong. One of the wheels hit a rock and broke. The wagon tipped over and rolled. Ben and Lily fell out of the wagon. Their toys flew out too. They landed on the grass. They were not hurt, but they were sad. + +They looked at their wagon. It was broken. The wheel was off. The axle was bent. The paint was scratched. They could not fix it. + +They looked at their toys. They were scattered everywhere. Some of them were dirty. Some of them were broken too. + +They cried. They loved their wagon. They loved their toys. They did not want to lose them. + +Mom heard them cry. She came out of the house. She saw the broken wagon and the broken toys. She saw Ben and Lily. She felt sorry for them. + +She hugged them and said, "It's okay, Ben and Lily. I know you are sad. But wagons and toys can be replaced. You are safe and you have each other. That's what matters most." + +She helped them pick up their toys and put them in a bag. She took the broken wagon to the trash. She said, "Maybe we can get a new wagon. A better one. One that won't break so easily." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They wiped their tears. They thanked Mom. They still missed their wagon, but they felt better. They knew Mom was right. They had each other. And they could still have fun. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Ben. He has a big bike and a cool hat. He sees Tom and Anna playing with their ball and kite. He wants to play too. + +"Can I play with you?" he asks. + +"Sure, you can play with us," Tom says. "We can take turns with the ball and the kite." + +But Ben is selfish. He does not want to take turns. He grabs the ball and the kite and runs away. He hides behind a bush. He thinks he is smart. + +Tom and Anna are sad. They look for their ball and kite. They do not see Ben behind the bush. They think he is gone. + +"Where is our ball and kite?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe he took them," Tom says. + +"That is not nice. He is selfish," Anna says. + +They are about to cry. But then they hear a noise. It is Ben. He is stuck behind the bush. He cannot get out. He is scared. + +"Help! Help!" he shouts. + +Tom and Anna hear him. They go to the bush. They see Ben. He is holding their ball and kite. + +"Please help me. I am sorry. I was selfish. I will give you back your ball and kite," he says. + +Tom and Anna are kind. They help Ben out of the bush. They take their ball and kite. They are happy. + +"Thank you for helping me. You are good friends. Can I play with you?" Ben asks. + +"OK, you can play with us. But you have to share. Sharing is nice," Tom says. + +"Yes, sharing is nice. And fun," Anna says. + +They all smile. They play together. They have fun. They are friends. +Sara likes to play with her pink telephone. She pretends to call her friends and talk to them. She also likes to look at the shiny buttons on the phone. They make her happy. + +One day, Sara sees a big cloud in the sky. It is dark and scary. It covers the sun and makes everything dark. Sara feels sad. She wants the sun to shine again. + +She picks up her pink telephone and dials a number. She says, "Hello, sun. This is Sara. Can you please come back and shine? I miss you and your light. Thank you, sun. Bye-bye." + +She waits for a while. Then, she sees a bright spot in the cloud. It grows bigger and bigger. It is the sun! The sun smiles at Sara and says, "Hello, Sara. I heard your call. I'm sorry I was hiding. I had to make some rain for the plants and animals. But now I'm back and I will shine for you. You're welcome, Sara. Bye-bye." + +Sara is very happy. She waves at the sun and says, "Thank you, sun. You are my friend. I love you and your light. Bye-bye." She plays with her pink telephone and the shiny buttons. She feels warm and cozy. She has a good day. +Sara and Ben are playing in the yard. They see a big red flower. Sara likes the flower. She wants to pick it. Ben warns Sara. He says, "No, no, that flower is bad. It can make you itch. Mommy told me." + +But Sara does not listen. She thinks Ben is silly. She runs to the flower. She picks it. She smells it. She says, "It is pretty. It is sweet. I like it." + +Then Sara feels something on her nose. She feels something on her hands. She feels something on her arms. She feels something on her legs. She feels something everywhere. She feels itch. She feels a lot of itch. She starts to scratch. She says, "Ow, ow, it hurts. It hurts a lot. Ben, help me." + +Ben runs to Sara. He sees Sara is messy. She has red spots. She has dirt. She has leaves. She has the flower. He says, "Oh, no, Sara. You picked the bad flower. You have itch. You have a lot of itch. We have to go to Mommy. She can help you." + +But Mommy is not home. She is at work. She will not be back for a long time. Sara and Ben are alone. They have no one to help them. Sara cries. Ben cries. They are sad. They are scared. They are itchy. They are messy. They wish they listened to Ben's warning. They wish they did not pick the bad flower. They wish they played with something else. They wish they had a good ending. But they do not. They have a bad ending. The end. +Lily was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent. She could dress herself, brush her teeth, and put away her toys. She did not like to ask for help or share with others. + +One day, her mom made dinner for the family. She put some chicken, rice, and carrots on Lily's plate. Lily did not like carrots. She stared at them and made a face. + +"Lily, eat your carrots. They are good for you," her mom said. + +"No, I don't want to. I don't like them," Lily said. + +"Lily, don't be rude. You have to try them. They are sweet and crunchy," her mom said. + +"No, I don't have to. I am independent. I can choose what I eat," Lily said. + +Lily pushed her plate away and crossed her arms. Her mom sighed and looked at her dad. Her dad smiled and picked up a carrot from his plate. He held it in front of Lily's nose. + +"Lily, look at this carrot. It is orange and bright. It is like a little sun. Do you like the sun?" he asked. + +Lily looked at the carrot and nodded. She liked the sun. It was warm and shiny. + +"Do you want to taste the sun?" he asked. + +Lily was curious. She opened her mouth and took a bite of the carrot. She chewed it and smiled. It was sweet and crunchy. She liked it. + +"See, carrots are not bad. They are good. You can eat more if you want," he said. + +Lily nodded and reached for her plate. She ate her carrots and her chicken and her rice. She was happy and full. + +"Good job, Lily. You are independent and brave. You tried something new and you liked it," her mom said. + +"Thank you, mom. Thank you, dad. I love you," Lily said. + +They hugged and kissed and finished their dinner. They were a happy family. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have a big ball and a small bike. They take turns to kick the ball and ride the bike. + +One day, Anna wants to try something new. She sees a big rope on the tree. She thinks it is fun to swing on the rope. She asks Ben, "Can we swing on the rope?" + +Ben looks at the rope. He thinks it is difficult. He is afraid to fall. He says, "No, I don't want to swing on the rope. It is too high and too fast. Let's play with the ball and the bike." + +Anna is sad. She really wants to swing on the rope. She thinks it is good exercise. She says, "Please, Ben, let's try the rope. It is not too high and too fast. It is fun and good for us. I will help you. Come on, Ben, don't be scared." + +Ben is not sure. He likes Anna, but he does not like the rope. He looks at the rope again. He sees that Anna is holding the rope. She is smiling and waiting for him. He thinks maybe he can try the rope. He says, "Okay, Anna, I will try the rope. But you have to hold my hand and go slow." + +Anna is happy. She holds Ben's hand and helps him to swing on the rope. They go slow at first, then faster and higher. They feel the wind and the sun. They laugh and shout. They have fun and exercise. They are not afraid of the rope anymore. They are brave and strong. They are friends. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play at the pond. They saw many ducks there, and they liked to feed them bread. One day, they saw a duck that was different from the others. It had a big beak, a long neck, and black and white feathers. + +"Look at that duck!" Lily said. "It is so strange and funny!" + +Tom laughed and agreed. "It is not a duck, it is a goose!" he said. "It is big and loud and mean!" + +They decided to tease the goose and throw stones at it. The goose did not like that. It hissed and chased them away. Lily and Tom ran and screamed. + +A man who was walking by saw what happened. He was not happy. He stopped Lily and Tom and scolded them. + +"Why did you do that?" he asked. "That was very bad and rude!" + +Lily and Tom felt ashamed. They did not know what to say. + +The man continued. "That goose is not a duck, but it is still a living thing. It has feelings and needs, just like you. How would you like it if someone threw stones at you and made fun of you?" + +Lily and Tom thought about it. They realized they would not like it at all. They felt sorry for the goose. + +"We are sorry, sir," they said. "We did not mean to hurt the goose. We were just playing." + +The man nodded. "I understand, but you should be more careful and kind. Playing is good, but not when it hurts others. You should respect and appreciate the differences in nature, not mock them. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned a lesson that day. They said sorry to the goose and gave it some bread. The goose calmed down and ate the bread. It even let them pet it gently. + +Lily and Tom smiled and thanked the man. They never teased the goose again. They became friends with it and the other ducks. They also learned to mention the goose by its name, not by its looks. They called it Gigi, and Gigi liked that. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. Tom had a new jacket. It was red and shiny. He felt very fast in it. + +"Look at me, Lily!" Tom said. "I can speed like a car!" + +He ran across the grass. He made a loud noise. "Vroom, vroom!" + +Lily watched him. She did not have a new jacket. She had an old jacket. It was blue and faded. She felt very slow in it. + +"Tom, wait for me!" Lily said. "I want to play too!" + +She ran after him. But Tom was too fast. He did not hear her. He did not see her. He only saw his jacket. + +Lily felt sad. She felt left out. She wanted to have a new jacket too. She wanted to speed like Tom. + +She saw a big slide. It was rare to find a slide so big. She had an idea. + +"Tom, look at me!" Lily said. "I can speed like a plane!" + +She climbed up the slide. She held her arms out. She made a loud noise. "Zoom, zoom!" + +She slid down the slide. She felt the wind in her hair. She felt very fast. + +Tom saw her. He stopped running. He looked at her. He saw her jacket. + +"Lily, your jacket is cool!" Tom said. "It looks like the sky!" + +Lily smiled. She felt happy. She felt proud. + +"Thank you, Tom!" Lily said. "Your jacket is cool too! It looks like fire!" + +They hugged. They laughed. They played together. + +They both felt fast. They both felt rare. They both felt like friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and make jokes. One day, they find a big machine in the park. It has buttons and lights and sounds. + +"What is this?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a joke machine. Let's try it!" Ben says. + +They push some buttons and the machine makes funny noises. They laugh and clap. Then they push another button and the machine says "Hello, I am a joke machine. Do you want to hear a joke?" + +"Yes, yes!" Lily and Ben say. + +"OK, here is a joke. Why did the chicken cross the road?" the machine asks. + +Lily and Ben think hard. They have heard this joke before. + +"To get to the other side!" they say together. + +The machine makes a buzzer sound and says "Wrong! The chicken crossed the road because it was fit and wanted to exercise. Ha ha ha!" + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They don't think that is a funny joke. They think that is a silly joke. + +"That is not a joke. That is a lie. Chickens don't exercise. They eat and lay eggs." Lily says. + +"Yeah, that is a bad joke. You are a bad joke machine. We don't like you." Ben says. + +They turn away from the machine and go to play with other toys. The machine is sad and lonely. It wishes it had better jokes. It wishes it had friends. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot is big and brown and likes to run and jump. One day, Sara and Ben see a big cake on a table in the park. The cake looks delicious. It has pink and white frosting and sprinkles. Sara and Ben want to eat the cake. + +They run to the table and stand on the chairs. They reach for the cake. But the cake is not for them. The cake is for a birthday party. A man sees them and gets angry. He shouts at them and chases them away. He grabs the cake and throws it at them. The cake hits Spot in the head. Spot falls down and does not move. Sara and Ben cry. They are scared and sad. They have lost their dog and their life is not fun anymore. They wish they had not touched the cake. The cake was not delicious. The cake was bad. +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Tim found a big beetle with shiny wings. He showed it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, a beetle!" he said. + +"Wow, it is pretty!" Lily said. "Can I hold it?" + +Tim gave the beetle to Lily. She was gentle with it. She put it on her hand and watched it crawl. + +"Do you remember the story mom told us about beetles?" Tim asked. + +Lily nodded. "Yes, I remember. She said beetles are very strong. They can lift things that are much bigger than them." + +"That's right. And she said some beetles can fly too. They have wings under their shells." + +Lily looked at the beetle's shell. It was thin and hard. She wondered if it could fly. + +"Can you fly, beetle?" she asked. + +The beetle did not answer. It moved its legs and antennae. Then it opened its wings and flew away. + +"Bye, beetle!" Tim and Lily said. They waved at the beetle as it flew over the fence. + +They smiled at each other. They liked beetles. They liked to learn new things. They liked to play in the garden. +Timmy was a shy boy who liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes, and he kept them in a big box in his room. He loved his cars very much and did not like to share them with anyone. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom and brought his favorite car, a red one with a shiny horn. He was happy to drive his car on the grass and make loud noises. But then he saw a big boy coming towards him. The big boy had a mean face and a dirty shirt. He looked at Timmy's car and said, "Give me that car. It's mine now." + +Timmy was scared and did not want to give his car to the big boy. He held his car tight and said, "No, it's my car. Go away." But the big boy did not listen. He grabbed Timmy's car and ran away. Timmy was very sad and angry. He started to cry and shout, "Help, help, thief, thief!" + +His mom heard him and came running. She saw the big boy with Timmy's car and chased him. She caught him and took the car back. She gave the car to Timmy and hugged him. She said, "Don't worry, Timmy. I got your car back. That boy was very bad and rude. He should not take things that are not his. Are you okay?" + +Timmy nodded and wiped his tears. He hugged his mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you and I love my car." He smiled and drove his car again. He was happy and proud. He learned that his mom would always help him and protect him. He also learned that he should not be shy and speak up when someone tries to hurt him or take his things. He decided to be more brave and friendly. He saw another boy with a blue car and said, "Hi, do you want to play with me?" The other boy smiled and said, "Sure, let's play." Timmy made a new friend and had fun. He had a good day at the park. +Lily liked to write poems. She wrote them on paper with her crayons. She wrote about her toys, her family, and her dreams. She was very proud of her poems and showed them to everyone. + +One day, Lily found a big book of poems in the library. She wanted to read them and learn new words. She opened the book and saw many words she did not know. She tried to sound them out, but they were too hard. She felt sad and confused. + +She decided to copy some of the poems from the book and pretend they were hers. She thought that would make her happy and smart. She wrote them on paper with her crayons and showed them to everyone. + +But everyone knew that the poems were not hers. They were too long and too fancy for a three year old. They did not sound like Lily at all. They did not like her poems and they did not like her lying. They were angry and disappointed. + +Lily felt ashamed and lonely. She wished she had not copied the poems. She wished she had written her own poems with her own words. She wished she had been regular and honest. She learned that copying was wrong and that poems were not just words, but feelings. She cried and cried and threw away the book. She did not write poems anymore. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree. + +"Can we climb the tree, please?" Anna asked her mom. + +"OK, but be careful," her mom said. "Don't go too high and don't break any branches." + +Anna and Ben nodded and ran to the tree. They found a low branch and pulled themselves up. They felt happy and proud. They looked around and saw many things. They saw birds and flowers and clouds. + +"Look, Ben, I found a twig!" Anna said. She held a small stick in her hand. It was brown and dry. + +"What can you do with a twig?" Ben asked. + +"I can twist it and make a shape," Anna said. She bent the twig and made a circle. "Look, I made a ring. It is lovely." + +"Wow, that is lovely," Ben said. "Can I have a twig too?" + +"Sure, here you go," Anna said. She gave Ben another twig. He twisted it and made a square. "Look, I made a box. It is lovely too." + +They showed their shapes to their mom. She smiled and hugged them. + +"You are very clever and creative," she said. "I love your shapes. They are lovely indeed." +Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys on the big rug in the living room. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. They are very enthusiastic and make a lot of noise. + +One day, their mom comes home from work. She is tired and has a headache. She asks Mia and Ben to be quiet and let her rest on the couch. She says she will read them a story later. + +Mia and Ben nod, but they still want to play. They whisper to each other and decide to make a game. They pretend that the rug is a magic carpet and that they can fly to different places. They use their toys as passengers and pilots. + +They say: "Ready, set, go!" and lift the rug with their hands. They make whooshing sounds and imagine that they are in the sky. They visit the zoo, the beach, the mountains and the moon. They have a lot of fun and forget about their mom. + +Their mom hears them and smiles. She is happy that they are using their imagination and being creative. She gets up from the couch and joins them on the rug. She says: "Can I come with you on your magic carpet?" Mia and Ben say: "Yes, mom, let's go!" They hug her and fly away together. +Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see something shiny in the grass. They run to it and pick it up. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lila says. "It is a crystal. It is very pretty and sparkly." + +"It is big, too," Sam says. "I wonder where it came from. Maybe it fell from the sky." + +They hear a voice behind them. They turn around and see a boy. He is wearing a blue shirt and a green hat. He has a backpack. + +"Hi, I am Ben," he says. "That is my crystal. I brought it from home. It is a gift from my grandma. She likes rocks and gems." + +Lila and Sam are surprised. They did not know the crystal belonged to someone. They feel sorry for taking it. + +"Oh, we are sorry, Ben," Lila says. "We did not know it was yours. We thought it was just a pretty stone. Here, you can have it back." + +"Thank you, Lila," Ben says. "It is okay. I don't mind sharing. Do you want to see my other crystals? I have some in my backpack. They are different colors and shapes." + +Lila and Sam smile. They like crystals, too. They want to see Ben's collection. They also want to be his friend. + +"Sure, we would love to see them," Sam says. "We are Lila and Sam. We play in this park every day. Do you want to play with us?" + +Ben nods. He is happy to meet Lila and Sam. He opens his backpack and shows them his crystals. They are very beautiful and shiny. Lila, Sam, and Ben talk and play with the crystals. They have fun. They become good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. They were very busy and happy. + +"Look, Lily, a bird!" Ben said, pointing to a tree. "It has a red chest and a black cap. What is it?" + +Lily paused and looked at the bird. She had a book about birds at home. She tried to remember what it was called. "I think it is a robin," she said. "It comes in spring, when the flowers grow and the sun is warm." + +"Wow, a robin!" Ben said. "Can we say hello to it?" + +They walked slowly to the tree, trying not to scare the bird. They smiled and waved at it. The bird looked at them and tilted its head. Then it sang a beautiful song. + +"Hello, robin!" Lily and Ben said. "You have a nice voice. Thank you for singing to us." + +The bird sang again and flew away. Lily and Ben clapped and cheered. They were glad they met a new friend in the park. They decided to look for more birds and animals in spring. They had so much to learn and enjoy. +Lily and Tom went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and giraffes. But Lily and Tom liked the monkeys best. They watched them swing, jump, and play on the trees. + +"Look, Mom, that monkey has a banana!" Lily said, pointing to a brown monkey with a yellow fruit. + +"Yes, dear, monkeys love bananas. They peel them and eat them, just like you," Mom said. + +"Can I give a banana to the monkey?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom, you can't. The monkeys have enough food from the zookeepers. If you give them your food, they might get sick or bite you," Dad said. + +Tom felt sad. He wanted to be friends with the monkeys. He saw an empty cage next to the monkey enclosure. He had an idea. He ran to the cage and climbed inside. He pretended to be a monkey. He made noises and scratched his head. + +"Look, Lily, I'm a monkey too!" Tom said. + +Lily laughed. She thought Tom was funny. But the monkeys did not think so. They saw Tom in the cage and got angry. They thought he was a bad monkey who wanted to steal their bananas. They threw sticks and stones at him. They screeched and howled. + +"Tom, get out of there! The monkeys are mad at you!" Lily shouted. + +Tom was scared. He felt the sticks and stones hit him. He heard the monkeys yell at him. He wanted to get out of the cage, but he did not know how. He cried for help. + +Mom and Dad heard Tom's cry. They ran to the cage and saw what happened. They were shocked and worried. They called a zookeeper to open the cage and get Tom out. The zookeeper came and unlocked the cage. He took Tom out and gave him a hug. He checked if Tom was hurt. He was not, but he had some bruises and scratches. + +"Tom, what were you thinking? You could have been seriously hurt by the monkeys. You should never go into an animal cage. It's dangerous and wrong," the zookeeper said. + +"I'm sorry, sir. I just wanted to be a monkey. I wanted to give them a banana. I didn't know they would be angry," Tom said. + +"Well, Tom, you learned a hard lesson today. Monkeys are not like people. They have their own rules and habits. You can watch them and admire them, but you can't touch them or feed them. Do you understand?" the zookeeper said. + +"Yes, sir. I understand. I won't do it again. I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, monkeys," Tom said. + +Mom and Dad hugged Tom and forgave him. They thanked the zookeeper for his help. They decided to leave the zoo and go home. Lily and Tom said goodbye to the monkeys. The monkeys ignored them. They were busy eating their bananas. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a shiny silver coin in the garden. They are very happy. + +"Look, Ben, a silver coin!" Anna says. "We can buy candy with it!" + +"No, Anna, we can't," Ben says. "Mommy says we have to save money. Maybe we can buy a book or a puzzle." + +They start to discuss what to do with the coin. They have different ideas. Anna wants something sweet and fun. Ben wants something smart and useful. + +While they are talking, a big dog comes to the garden. He sees the silver coin. He thinks it is a bone. He runs to get it. + +"Hey, that's ours!" Anna and Ben shout. They try to stop the dog. But the dog is strong and fast. They are weak and slow. + +The dog grabs the coin in his mouth. He runs away with it. Anna and Ben are sad. They lose their silver coin. + +They go back to the house. They tell Mommy what happened. Mommy hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. That was a bad dog. But don't worry. You still have each other. And you have many other toys to play with. Maybe next time, you can find another silver coin. Or something even better." + +Anna and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you, Mommy. We love you. And we love each other. We don't need a silver coin to be happy." They hug Mommy and each other. Then they go to play with their toys. They forget about the silver coin. They are happy. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see an old man with a violin. He plays music for the people. Tom and Anna like the music. They go near the old man. + +"Hello, old man. What is that?" Tom asks. + +"This is a violin. It makes music when I use this stick," the old man says. + +"Can I try?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. It is old and precious," the old man says. He gives Anna the violin and the stick. + +Anna holds the violin and the stick. She tries to make music, but it sounds bad. She makes a face. + +"I don't like it. It is hard and noisy," Anna says. + +She gives the violin and the stick back to the old man. + +"Thank you for letting me try," Anna says. + +The old man smiles. He plays music again. + +Tom and Anna watch him. Tom has an idea. He whispers to Anna. + +"Let's steal the violin. It is old and precious. We can sell it and buy candy," Tom says. + +Anna shakes her head. + +"No, Tom. That is bad. The old man loves the violin. He will be sad if we take it. We should not steal," Anna says. + +Tom does not listen. He waits for the old man to look away. He grabs the violin and the stick. He runs away. + +"Hey, stop! That is my violin!" the old man shouts. + +He tries to chase Tom, but he is too slow. Tom is fast. + +Anna is scared. She does not want to be Tom's friend anymore. She runs after Tom. + +"Tom, stop! Give the violin back! You are doing wrong!" Anna shouts. + +Tom does not stop. He thinks he is smart. He does not see the big dog. The big dog sees Tom. The big dog barks. The big dog runs after Tom. + +Tom is scared. He drops the violin and the stick. He screams. He runs away from the big dog. + +The old man picks up the violin and the stick. He is happy. He hugs the violin. He thanks the big dog. + +Anna comes to the old man. She is sorry. + +"I am sorry, old man. Tom is bad. He wanted to steal your violin. I tried to stop him. Are you okay?" Anna asks. + +The old man smiles. He is not angry. + +"I am okay, Anna. Thank you for being good. You are a nice girl. Do you want to hear some music?" the old man asks. + +Anna nods. She likes the music. She sits with the old man. He plays music for her. She claps her hands. + +Tom is alone. He is sad. He has no violin, no candy, and no friend. He learns a lesson. He should not steal. +Tim and Mia like to play with their toy boats. They have many boats of different colors and sizes. They pretend they are sailors and captains. Sometimes they make waves with their hands and splash each other. + +One day, Tim has a new boat. It is big and shiny and navy. It has a flag and a horn and a wheel. Tim is very proud of his boat. He wants to show it to Mia. He puts it on the table and says, "Look, Mia, this is my new boat. It is the best boat ever. Do you like it?" + +Mia looks at the boat. She thinks it is nice, but she likes her own boats better. She has a red boat, a yellow boat, a green boat, and a pink boat. She likes to mix and match them and make different patterns. She says, "Your boat is nice, Tim, but I like my boats more. They are more fun and pretty. Can I play with them?" + +Tim does not like Mia's answer. He thinks she is rude and mean. He wants her to admire his boat and say it is the best. He says, "No, you can't play with your boats. They are boring and ugly. You can only play with my boat. It is the only good boat here. You have to do what I say." + +Mia is frustrated. She does not like Tim's attitude. She thinks he is bossy and selfish. She says, "No, I don't have to do what you say. You are not the boss of me. You can't tell me what to play with. I can play with whatever I want. And I don't want to play with your boat. It is too big and loud and navy. I want to play with my boats. They are more fun and pretty." + +Tim and Mia start to argue. They raise their voices and pull each other's boats. They are not happy. They are not friends. They are enemies. They forget to play and have fun. They only want to win and display their boats. They are silly and sad. +Tom and Sue were hungry. They wanted to eat lunch. Mom was busy in the kitchen. She was making soup for them. + +"Can we help you, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, you can help me stir the soup," Mom said. She gave them a big spoon each. "Be careful, it's hot." + +Tom and Sue took the spoons and went to the pot. They tried to stir the soup, but it was hard. The pot was big and heavy. The soup was thick and bubbly. + +Sue stirred too fast. She splashed some soup on her hand. "Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "It hurts!" + +Mom heard her and ran to her. She took her hand and put it under cold water. "I'm sorry, Sue. Are you okay?" she asked. + +"It's okay, Mom. It's just a little bad," Sue said. She sniffed. + +Tom felt sorry for Sue. He wanted to make her feel better. He looked at the pot. He had an idea. He took some salt from the table and poured it into the soup. He thought it would make the soup more tasty. + +"There, now the soup is good," he said. He smiled. + +Mom came back with a band-aid for Sue. She saw Tom holding the salt. She smelled the soup. She frowned. + +"Tom, what did you do?" she asked. + +"I made the soup good," Tom said. He was proud. + +Mom tasted the soup. She made a face. The soup was very salty. It was bad. + +"Tom, you put too much salt in the soup. Now the soup is bad. We can't eat it," she said. + +Tom was shocked. He didn't mean to make the soup bad. He wanted to make it good. He felt sad. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to help," he said. + +Mom sighed. She hugged Tom and Sue. + +"It's okay, Tom. I know you wanted to help. But next time, please ask me before you add anything to the soup. And Sue, I'm glad you're not hurt. How about we make some sandwiches for lunch instead?" she said. + +Tom and Sue nodded. They said sorry to Mom. They helped her make sandwiches. They ate them with some juice. They were good. They were happy. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to look at the clouds and make shapes with them. Lily saw a cloud that looked like a bunny. She pointed and said, "Look, Max, a bunny cloud!" + +Max looked and said, "No, that's not a bunny. That's a bear. See, it has big ears and a nose." + +Lily shook her head. "No, it's a bunny. It has long ears and a tail." + +They started to argue. They both wanted to be right. They did not want to share the cloud. + +A big wind came and blew the cloud away. It changed its shape. It did not look like a bunny or a bear anymore. It looked like a fish. + +Lily and Max stopped arguing. They looked at the fish cloud and smiled. They both liked fish. They said, "Wow, a fish cloud!" + +They held hands and ran to the pond. They hoped to see more fish there. They forgot about the bunny and the bear. They were friends again. +Sara and Lily are sisters. They like to play with dolls and books. Sara has a journal. She writes and draws in it every day. She does not like to share her journal with anyone. + +One day, Lily is restless. She wants to do something fun. She sees Sara's journal on the table. She thinks it looks interesting. She picks it up and opens it. She sees Sara's words and pictures. She smiles and starts to read. + +Sara comes back from the kitchen. She sees Lily with her journal. She is angry. She runs to Lily and grabs the journal. She yells, "That is mine! You cannot look at it! Give it back!" + +Lily is scared and sad. She does not understand why Sara is so mad. She says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I just wanted to see what you wrote. I think your journal is very nice. Can we share it?" + +Sara thinks for a moment. She remembers that Lily is her sister and she loves her. She also remembers that sharing is good. She says, "Okay, Lily. We can share my journal. But you have to ask me first. And you have to be careful with it. It is very special to me." + +Lily nods and hugs Sara. She says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. I will ask you first and be careful with your journal. I love you." + +Sara smiles and hugs Lily back. She says, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go and play with our dolls and books. And maybe later, we can write and draw in my journal together." +Sara and Ben went to the store with Mom. They wanted to buy dessert for after dinner. Mom said they could choose one thing each. + +Sara saw a big cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. She said, "I want this cake, Mom. It looks yummy." + +Ben saw a box of cookies with chocolate chips. He said, "I want these cookies, Mom. They are crunchy." + +Mom looked at the price tags. She said, "Sorry, kids. These are too expensive. We can buy something cheaper." + +Sara and Ben were sad. They did not want something cheaper. They wanted the cake and the cookies. They started to cry and whine. They made a lot of noise. + +Mom was annoyed. She said, "Stop it, kids. You are being noisy and rude. If you don't calm down, we will buy no dessert at all." + +Sara and Ben did not want to have no dessert. They liked dessert. They looked at each other. They decided to stop crying and whining. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We will be good." + +Mom smiled. She said, "Thank you, kids. You are being nice and polite. Let's go and find something we can all enjoy." + +They walked to another aisle. They saw a tub of ice cream with vanilla and chocolate. It was on sale. Mom said, "How about this ice cream, kids? It is cold and sweet." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We like ice cream. It is good." + +Mom bought the ice cream. She said, "Good choice, kids. This will be our dessert for tonight." + +Sara and Ben were happy. They hugged Mom. They said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best." + +They went home with the ice cream. They had a nice dinner. They ate the ice cream for dessert. They said, "Yum, yum, yum." They were full and satisfied. They went to bed with a smile. +Ben and Lily wanted to cook pizza for their mom. They saw a box of pizza in the freezer and took it out. They put it on a big plate and put it in the oven. They did not know how to turn on the oven or how long to cook the pizza. + +Mom was in the garden, picking flowers. She smelled something burning. She ran into the kitchen and saw smoke coming out of the oven. She opened the oven and saw the pizza was black and hard. She was very angry and scared. + +"Ben! Lily! What are you doing?" she shouted. + +"We wanted to cook pizza for you, Mom," Ben said. + +"We love you, Mom," Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She was not angry anymore, but she was still scared. She hugged Ben and Lily and said, "I love you too, but you should never cook without me. Cooking can be dangerous. You could get hurt or start a fire. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom," Ben and Lily said. + +"Good. Now, let's throw away this pizza and make a new one together. And then we have to tidy up the kitchen. It's very messy," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They helped Mom make a new pizza with cheese and tomatoes and ham. They also helped Mom tidy up the kitchen and put away the dishes. They learned how to cook safely and how to clean up after themselves. Mom was very proud and happy. They ate the pizza together and it was very yummy. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a spray bottle and a brush. They want to make art on the wall. + +Lily sprays water on the wall. She makes a big wet spot. She takes the brush and dips it in the paint. She paints a flower on the wet spot. She likes her flower. It is red and yellow. + +Ben sprays water on the wall too. He makes a small wet spot. He takes the brush and dips it in the paint. He paints a car on the wet spot. He likes his car. It is blue and green. + +But then, Ben sees Lily's flower. He thinks it is too big. He wants more space for his car. He sprays more water on the wall. He sprays over Lily's flower. He makes it wet and blurry. + +Lily sees Ben spraying her flower. She gets angry. She shouts at Ben. + +"Stop it! Stop it! You are ruining my flower! It is my flower! Go away!" + +Ben shouts back at Lily. + +"No! No! You are taking too much space! It is my wall! Go away!" + +They spray water at each other. They get wet and messy. They drop the brush and the paint. They cry and scream. + +Mom hears them crying and screaming. She comes to the garden. She sees the wall, the spray bottle, the brush and the paint. She sees Lily and Ben wet and messy. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing? Look at this mess! You are wasting water and paint! You are fighting over nothing! You should share and be nice!" + +She takes the spray bottle and the brush. She puts them away. She takes Lily and Ben inside. She gives them a thick towel. She tells them to dry off and calm down. She tells them to say sorry to each other. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They promise to share and be nice. They learn their lesson. +Sara liked to play golf with her dad. He had a big bag with many sticks and balls. He showed her how to hit the ball with the stick and make it fly far. Sara wanted to try, but dad said no. + +"Not now, Sara. Golf is not for little kids. You can watch me play, but you have to stay here and be quiet. Maybe when you are older, I will permit you to play golf with me." + +Sara was sad. She wanted to play golf too. She saw a stick and a ball that dad left on the grass. They looked available. She thought dad would not mind if she took them for a little while. She picked them up and ran to a big hill. She put the ball on the ground and swung the stick hard. + +The ball flew very high and very far. Sara was happy. She did it! She played golf! She looked for dad to show him, but she could not see him. She saw a big house with many windows. She saw the ball hit one of the windows and break it. She heard a loud noise and a angry voice. + +"Who did this? Who broke my window? Come here right now!" + +Sara was scared. She dropped the stick and ran back to dad. She hoped he would not be mad at her. She hoped he would not find out what she did. She hoped he would still permit her to play golf with him someday. +Lily and Ben are playing with colorful paints. They make pictures of flowers, trees and animals on big papers. They are happy and laugh a lot. + +"Look, I made a butterfly!" Lily says, showing her paper to Ben. + +"Wow, it is very pretty!" Ben says, admiring her work. "I made a lion. Roar!" + +They giggle and clap their hands. Then they see a big jar of water on the table. It is for washing their brushes. + +"Let's dip our hands in the water!" Lily says. "It will be fun!" + +"OK!" Ben says. They run to the jar and put their hands in. The water is cold and wet. They splash and make bubbles. + +But they do not see that the jar is not very stable. It is on the edge of the table. And they do not hear that Mom is coming to check on them. + +Suddenly, the jar falls over and spills all the water on the floor. The papers, the paints and the brushes are all wet and ruined. The water makes a big mess. + +Mom sees the disaster and gets very angry. She shouts at Lily and Ben. + +"What have you done? You are very naughty! You have wasted the paints and the papers! And you have made the floor slippery and dangerous! You could have hurt yourselves or broken something!" + +Lily and Ben are scared and sad. They start to cry. They are sorry for what they did. They did not mean to make Mom angry. + +They try to dry their hands with a towel, but the towel is also wet and dirty. They have no clean and dry hands. They have no colorful pictures. They have no fun. They have only trouble. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys and books and clothes. They liked to dress up as different things. Tom put on a hat and a coat and a mask. He wanted to scare Lily. + +He hid behind the door and waited for Lily to come. Lily was looking for a dress and a crown. She wanted to be a princess. She opened the closet and saw many clothes. She did not see Tom. + +Tom jumped out and shouted, "Boo!" He wanted to make Lily scream. But Lily did not scream. She laughed. She saw Tom's mask and clothes. She knew it was Tom. + +"Tom, you are silly!" she said. "You cannot scare me with that mask. I know it is you. You are my brother." + +Tom felt sad. He wanted to scare Lily. He took off his mask and clothes. He said, "Sorry, Lily. I wanted to have fun. I wanted to be a monster." + +Lily hugged Tom. She said, "It is okay, Tom. I love you. You are not a monster. You are my brother. But you know what? I have an idea. Let's go scare Mom and Dad. They are in the kitchen. They do not know we have these clothes. Come on, Tom. It will be fun." + +Tom smiled. He put on his mask and clothes again. He said, "Okay, Lily. Let's go scare Mom and Dad. But we have to be quiet. We have to surprise them. Come on, Lily. Follow me." + +Tom and Lily ran to the kitchen. They had their clothes and masks. They wanted to scare Mom and Dad. They did not know what would happen. They were excited and nervous. They were ready to say, "Boo!" +Jenny and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they did not share them well. They always fought over who had more or better toys, and they did not include each other in their games. Their family was not happy with them. + +One day, their mom said, "Jenny and Tom, you have too many toys. You need to give some away to other kids who have none. You also need to learn to play together and include each other. I want you to organize your toys into two piles: one to keep and one to donate. You have until lunch time to do this." + +Jenny and Tom did not like this idea. They did not want to give away any of their toys, and they did not want to work together. They started to argue and grab each other's toys. They did not organize their toys at all. They made a big mess in their room. + +Their mom came back at lunch time and saw the mess. She was very angry. She said, "Jenny and Tom, you did not listen to me at all. You did not organize your toys, you did not share, and you did not include each other. You are very selfish and rude. Now you have no choice. You have to give away all of your toys. No more toys for you. And you have to stay in your room for the rest of the day. No lunch, no TV, no fun. Maybe then you will learn to be nice to each other and to others." + +Jenny and Tom cried and begged, but their mom did not change her mind. She took away all of their toys and left them in their room. They had nothing to play with, nothing to eat, and nothing to watch. They were very bored and hungry and sad. They wished they had listened to their mom and organized their toys and included each other. They realized they had been very foolish and mean. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They hoped their mom would forgive them and give them back some of their toys. But they did not know if she would. They had a very bad day. +One day, a fox was very hungry. He saw a big farm with many chickens. He wanted to eat some chickens for his lunch. But the farm had a big fence and a big dog. The fox was scared of the dog. + +The fox had a friend, a crow. The crow could fly over the fence and the dog. The fox had an idea. He said to the crow, "Can you help me get some chickens? I will give you some too. You can send me a chicken with your beak. I will wait here, under this dry tree." + +The crow liked the idea. He flew over the fence and the dog. He saw many chickens. He picked one with his beak. He flew back to the fox. He tried to send the chicken to the fox. But the chicken was too big and heavy. The crow dropped the chicken on the ground. The chicken made a loud noise. The dog heard the noise. He ran to the chicken. He saw the crow and the fox. He barked and chased them. + +The crow and the fox ran away. They were very scared. They did not get any chickens. They were still very hungry. They learned a lesson. They should not try to steal from the farm. They should find their own food. +Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily saw a big cat on a tree. The cat was black and white and had a long tail. Lily liked the cat. She wanted to pet it. + +"Mom, can I pet the cat?" Lily asked. + +"Be careful, Lily. The cat might scratch you. He is not our cat. He is a wild cat." Mom said. + +Lily walked slowly to the tree. She said hello to the cat. The cat looked at her. He did not run away. He stretched his legs and yawned. He seemed sleepy. + +Lily reached out her hand. She touched the cat's fur. It was soft and warm. The cat did not mind. He closed his eyes and purred. He liked Lily. + +Lily smiled. She gave the cat a gentle massage. She rubbed his ears and his back. The cat moved his head and his tail. He was happy. + +Mom watched Lily and the cat. She was surprised. The cat was very friendly. He was not afraid of Lily. He was a graceful cat. He moved like a dancer. + +"Look, Mom. The cat likes me. He is a nice cat." Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. You are very lucky, Lily. You made a new friend." Mom said. + +Lily and the cat played for a while. Then they said goodbye. Lily hugged the cat. The cat licked her cheek. They were both happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They find a big bean. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's open it and see," Ben says. + +"OK, but be careful," Lily says. + +They use a stick to break the bean. Inside, they see a shiny thing. It is a necklace. It has many colors. + +"Wow, it is so pretty," Lily says. + +"Can I wear it?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, you can try it," Lily says. + +Ben puts the necklace around his neck. He feels happy. He starts to sing. He sings a song he made up. It is an original song. He sings about the bean, the garden, and his friend. + +Lily listens to his song. She likes it. She claps her hands. She joins him. She sings with him. They sing their original song. They have fun. + +The end. +Ben and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Ben has a big truck and Mia has a little unicorn. Mia likes her unicorn because it has a shiny horn and a soft mane. Ben likes his truck because it can make loud noises and move fast. + +"Look at my unicorn, Ben. It is so pretty and clean. Do you want to touch it?" Mia asks. + +"No, I don't. I like my truck better. It is stronger and cooler. Your unicorn is silly and boring." Ben says. + +Mia feels sad. She loves her unicorn and thinks it is not silly or boring. She wants Ben to like it too. She tries to show him how her unicorn can jump and dance. + +"See, Ben? My unicorn can do fun things too. It can jump and dance and sing. Can your truck do that?" Mia says. + +Ben does not care. He thinks Mia's unicorn is still silly and boring. He wants to play with his truck and make it go fast and loud. He does not want to see Mia's unicorn. He decides to make Mia stop showing him her unicorn. He reaches out and pinches Mia's unicorn's horn. + +"Ow! Ben, that hurts! Why did you pinch my unicorn's horn? That is not nice!" Mia cries. + +Ben laughs. He thinks it is funny to pinch Mia's unicorn's horn. He does not care that it hurts Mia or her unicorn. He thinks he is smarter and better than Mia and her unicorn. + +"I pinched your unicorn's horn because I don't like it. It is silly and boring and I don't want to see it. Go away, Mia. I want to play with my truck alone." Ben says. + +Mia feels angry and sad. She does not like Ben anymore. He is mean and rude and he does not care about her or her unicorn. She decides to stand up for herself and her unicorn. She reaches out and pinches Ben's truck's wheel. + +"Ow! Mia, that hurts! Why did you pinch my truck's wheel? That is not nice!" Ben cries. + +Mia smiles. She thinks it is fair to pinch Ben's truck's wheel. She wants him to know how it feels to be hurt and to have his toy hurt. She thinks he is not smarter or better than her or her unicorn. + +"I pinched your truck's wheel because you pinched my unicorn's horn. It is not silly or boring and I want you to see it. You are mean, Ben. I don't want to play with you anymore." Mia says. + +Mia picks up her unicorn and walks away. She looks for another friend who will like her unicorn and be nice to her. Ben stays with his truck and feels sorry for himself. He wishes he had not pinched Mia's unicorn's horn. He wonders if he can say sorry and be friends with Mia again. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to play shop with their toys. Ben was the shopkeeper and Lily was the customer. + +"Hello, welcome to my shop!" Ben said. "What do you want to buy?" + +Lily looked around and saw a desk that Ben had made from a cardboard box and some crayons. She liked the desk because it had many colors and drawings on it. + +"I want to buy this desk," Lily said. "How much is it?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He liked his desk too, but he wanted to be generous to his sister. He remembered that their mom had given them some coins to play with. + +"This desk is two coins," Ben said. "But because you are my sister, I will sell it to you for one coin." + +Lily smiled and gave Ben a coin. She was happy to get the desk for a good price. She thanked Ben and took the desk to her room. + +Ben was happy too. He had sold his desk and made his sister happy. He still had many toys to sell, and he hoped to find more customers. He put the coin in his pocket and waited for the next one. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was barking and running after a ball. + +"Look, a dog!" Lila said. "Can we pet it?" + +Tom was scared of dogs. He shook his head. "No, Lila. The dog might bite us. We should stay away." + +But Lila was impatient. She wanted to touch the dog. She ran towards it and called, "Hi, doggy! You are so cute!" + +The dog heard Lila and stopped chasing the ball. It turned around and saw Lila running to it. It did not like strangers. It growled and showed its teeth. + +"Go away, girl!" the dog said. "This is my ball and my park. You are not welcome here!" + +Lila did not understand the dog. She thought it was playing. She reached out her hand to pet the dog. The dog snapped at her hand and bit her finger. Lila screamed and cried. She felt a lot of pain. + +Tom heard Lila scream and ran to her. He saw the blood on her finger and the angry dog. He was afraid, but he wanted to protect Lila. He picked up a stick and waved it at the dog. + +"Leave Lila alone, dog!" Tom said. "You are mean and bad. Go away!" + +The dog did not like the stick. It barked louder and jumped at Tom. It knocked him down and bit his arm. Tom screamed and cried too. He felt more pain. + +The dog's owner heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. He saw the dog biting Tom and Lila crying. He was shocked and angry. He grabbed the dog's collar and pulled it away. He yelled at the dog and hit it. He said sorry to Tom and Lila and called for help. + +But it was too late. Tom and Lila were hurt badly. They had to go to the hospital. They had many stitches and bandages. They had to take medicine and rest. They could not play for a long time. They were sad and scared. They did not like dogs anymore. They wished they had listened to Tom and stayed away from the dog. They learned a hard lesson. The end. +Lily and Max were playing with shapes on the floor. They had a big box with many shapes inside. They liked to push the shapes into the holes that matched them. + +"Look, I pushed the star into the star hole!" Lily said. She was happy. + +"Good job, Lily!" Max said. He was polite. He pushed the circle into the circle hole. "How about this one?" He held up a square. + +"That is a square," Lily said. "It goes into the square hole." She pointed to the hole. + +Max tried to push the square into the hole, but it was too big. He pushed harder, but it did not fit. He got angry. He threw the square across the room. "Stupid square!" he shouted. + +Lily was scared. She did not like when Max was angry. She did not like when he threw things. She said, "Max, that is not nice. You should not throw things. You should be polite." + +Max felt bad. He knew Lily was right. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was frustrated. I should not have thrown the square. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Of course, Max. I forgive you. We are friends. Do you want to try another shape?" + +Max nodded. He said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind." He picked up a triangle and pushed it into the triangle hole. He was happy. Lily was happy. They hugged and continued to play with shapes. +Lily and Sam are in the car with Mom. They are going to the park. But the car is not moving. There are many cars in front of them. They are stuck in traffic. + +"Mom, why are we not moving?" Lily asks. + +"Because there are too many cars on the road, honey. They are all trying to go somewhere. This is called traffic," Mom explains. + +"Traffic is stupid. I want to go to the park now!" Sam says. + +"I know, sweetie. I want to go to the park too. But we have to be patient and wait for the traffic to clear. Maybe we can play a game to pass the time. How about I spy?" Mom suggests. + +"Okay, I spy with my little eye something that is red," Lily says. + +"Is it the stop sign?" Sam guesses. + +"No, it is not the stop sign," Lily says. + +"Is it the fire truck?" Mom guesses. + +"Yes, it is the fire truck! You are right, Mom!" Lily says. + +"Yay, I win! Now it is my turn. I spy with my little eye something that is green," Mom says. + +"Is it the grass?" Sam guesses. + +"No, it is not the grass," Mom says. + +"Is it the tree?" Lily guesses. + +"No, it is not the tree," Mom says. + +"Is it the frog?" Sam guesses. + +"No, it is not the frog. Where do you see a frog?" Mom asks. + +"In my imagination," Sam says. + +Mom laughs. "That is very creative, Sam. But no, it is not the frog. It is something on the car," Mom says. + +"Is it the sticker?" Lily guesses. + +"Yes, it is the sticker! You are right, Lily!" Mom says. + +"Yay, I win! Now it is your turn, Sam. I spy with my little eye something that is blue," Lily says. + +"Is it the sky?" Sam guesses. + +"Yes, it is the sky! You are right, Sam!" Lily says. + +"Yay, I win! We are all winners!" Sam says. + +Mom smiles. "Yes, we are all winners. And look, the traffic is moving. We are almost at the park. Good job, kids. You made the time go faster by playing a game. That is called working with what you have," Mom says. + +"Working with what you have is fun. But going to the park is more fun. Let's go, Mom!" Lily says. + +"Let's go, Mom!" Sam says. + +Mom drives to the park. They get out of the car. They run to the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the traffic and the stupid cars. They are happy. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has black fur and a long tail. The dog barks loud. + +"Wow, look at the dog!" Ben says. "He is so big and loud. I want to pet him." + +"No, Ben, don't go!" Sam says. "The dog might be angry. He might bite you." + +But Ben does not listen. He runs to the dog. He tries to touch the dog's head. The dog does not like it. The dog growls and snaps at Ben. Ben is scared. He runs away. + +But the dog is faster. The dog follows Ben. The dog catches Ben's leg. The dog bites Ben's leg hard. Ben screams loud. He feels pain. He cries. + +Sam runs to Ben. He tries to help him. He shouts for help. A man comes. The man is the dog's owner.

He says sorry too. + +The end. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They love chocolate very much. They see a big jar of chocolate on the top shelf in the kitchen. They want to get it, but they are too small. + +They have a plan. They get a chair and a stool. They put the stool on the chair. Tom climbs on the stool. Lily holds the chair. Tom reaches for the jar. He gets it and gives it to Lily. They are very happy. + +They run to their room with the jar. They open it and eat some chocolate. It is yummy. They share it with their teddy bears. They say, "This is the best chocolate ever!" + +But then they hear their mom. She is looking for the jar. She says, "Where is my chocolate? I need it for the cake. Who took it?" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They hide the jar under the bed. They pretend to play with their teddy bears. They hope their mom will not find out. They say, "Sorry, mom. We love you and we love chocolate." +Tom was a curious boy. He liked to touch and see everything. One day, he saw a big pot of pasta on the stove. It smelled good and looked yummy. He wanted to try some. + +He climbed on a chair and reached for the pot. But the pot was very hot. It burned his hand. He screamed and let go of the pot. The pot fell off the stove and lay on the floor. The pasta spilled everywhere. It was a big mess. + +Mom heard Tom scream and ran to the kitchen. She saw Tom crying and the pasta on the floor. She was very angry and sad. She scolded Tom for being naughty and careless. She took him to the bathroom and put cold water on his hand. It hurt a lot. + +Tom was sorry for what he did.

Maybe no one will see us." Tom said. + +They ran to the table and grabbed some cake. They put it in their mouths. It was sweet and soft. They smiled and ate more. + +But then, they heard a loud voice. It was the owner of the cake. He was angry and sad. He had made the cake for his daughter's birthday. He saw Sara and Tom eating his cake. He shouted at them. + +"Hey, you two! Stop eating my cake! That's not yours! That's for my daughter! How dare you ruin her dessert!" + +Sara and Tom were scared and sorry. They dropped the cake and ran away. They wanted to hide. They hoped the owner would not catch them. + +But he did. He ran after them and grabbed them. He was very mad. He called their parents and told them what they did. He asked for money to buy a new cake. He said they were bad and ignorant. + +Sara and Tom's parents came and saw the mess. They were ashamed and angry. They scolded Sara and Tom. They said they were sorry to the owner. They paid him money. They took Sara and Tom home. They did not give them any dessert. They sent them to bed without a story. They said they had to learn to respect other people's things. + +Sara and Tom cried and felt bad. They wished they had not eaten the cake. They wished they had been smart and kind. They wished someone would rescue them from their trouble. But no one did. They had a bad ending. +Lila and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big box of chalk in many colors. They used the chalk to draw on the sidewalk. They drew flowers, stars, animals, and their names. + +One day, a new boy moved in next door. His name was Max. He was chubby and had curly hair. He saw Lila and Sam drawing with chalk and wanted to join them. He asked, "Can I play with you?" + +Lila and Sam looked at him and said, "No, you can't. You are too chubby and your hair is funny. Go away!" + +Max felt sad and angry. He ran back to his house and cried. He did not have any friends. + +The next day, it rained. The rain washed away all the chalk drawings on the sidewalk. Lila and Sam were upset. They wanted to draw again, but they had no more chalk. They had used it all up. + +They saw Max coming out of his house. He had a big smile on his face. He had a new box of chalk in his hands. It was bigger and had more colors than theirs. He said, "Look what I have! Do you want to play with me?" + +Lila and Sam felt ashamed. They had been mean to Max. They realized that he was a nice boy who just wanted to be their friend. They said, "We are sorry, Max. We were wrong. You can play with us. Can we share your chalk?" + +Max was happy. He said, "Of course you can. Come on, let's draw together. The sun is shining and the sidewalk is clean. We can make beautiful pictures." + +Lila, Sam, and Max became friends. They learned to be kind and share. They had fun drawing with chalk. They made the sidewalk shine with their colors. +Lily was nervous. She had a new dress for her birthday party. It was pink and had flowers on it. She wanted to look pretty for her friends.

She had a lot of fun. It was a great birthday party. +Tom and Anna liked to play near the shore. They liked to dig in the sand, find shells and watch the waves. Sometimes they saw boats and birds and fish. + +One day, they saw a big ship with many people on it. The ship was white and shiny and had a flag. Tom and Anna wondered what the people were doing on the ship. + +"Maybe they are going to a new place," Tom said. + +"Maybe they are looking for treasure," Anna said. + +"Maybe they are having a party," Tom said. + +They decided to wave at the people and say hello. They hoped the people would see them and wave back. + +They waved and shouted, but the people did not seem to notice them. The ship was too far away and too noisy. Tom and Anna felt sad. + +Then they saw a man on the ship who was looking at them. He had a hat and a beard and a big smile. He waved his hand and nodded his head. He looked kind and thoughtful. + +Tom and Anna smiled and nodded back. They felt happy. + +"Look, he sees us!" Tom said. + +"Maybe he is the captain," Anna said. + +"Maybe he is our friend," Tom said. + +They waved and nodded until the ship was out of sight. Then they went back to their sandcastle and their shells. They had a new story to tell. +Lily and Max were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big cardboard box as their ship, and some sticks as their swords. They pretended to sail the seas and look for treasure. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Max shouted. "I see an island ahead! Maybe there is gold and jewels there!" + +"Let's go and explore!" Lily said. She was adventurous and liked to have fun. She jumped out of the box and ran towards the bushes. + +Max followed her, but he was more careful. He looked around for enemies and traps. He saw a big rubber snake on the ground. He knew it was not real, but he wanted to scare Lily. + +"Watch out, Lily!" he yelled. "There is a snake behind you! It will bite you!" + +Lily turned around and saw the snake. She screamed and ran back to the box. She was afraid of snakes, even rubber ones. + +"Ha ha, I got you!" Max laughed. He picked up the snake and waved it in the air. + +"That's not fair, Max!" Lily cried. "You cheated! That's not a real snake!" + +"Yes, it is!" Max said. "It's a rubber snake! It's very dangerous!" + +"No, it's not!" Lily said. "It's just a toy! You're a mean pirate!" + +"I'm not mean, I'm brave!" Max said. "You're a scaredy-cat! You have to surrender to me!" + +"I will not surrender!" Lily said. "You have to surrender to me!" + +They both held their sticks and pointed them at each other. They were ready to fight. + +But then they heard their mom calling them. + +"Kids, it's time for lunch!" she said. "Come inside, please!" + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They dropped their sticks and the snake. They smiled and hugged. + +"Let's be friends, okay?" Lily said. + +"Okay, let's be friends," Max said. + +They ran inside, holding hands.

They were gifted and loved. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big gate that said "Do not enter". They wanted to see what was behind the gate. They asked their mom if they could go there. + +"No, you cannot go there," their mom said. "That is the jungle. It is not safe for you. There are many wild animals and plants that can hurt you. You must stay away from the gate." + +But Tom and Sam did not listen to their mom. They waited until she was busy and then they ran to the gate. They pushed it open and went inside. They saw many trees and flowers and birds. They thought it was fun and beautiful. + +They walked deeper into the jungle. They heard a loud roar. They saw a big lion. The lion was hungry and angry. It saw Tom and Sam and ran towards them. Tom and Sam were scared. They tried to run back to the gate, but they were too far. The lion was faster than them. + +"Help, mom, help!" they cried. But their mom could not hear them. She was inside the house. She did not know they had gone to the jungle. The lion caught Tom and Sam and ate them. They were gone. + +The end. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the farm with their dog, Spot. One day, they see a big bull in the field. The bull is black and has horns. + +"Look, Tom, a bull!" Lily says. "Can we go and say hello?" + +"No, Lily, the bull is not nice. He is nosy and angry. He can hurt us and Spot," Tom says. + +But Lily is curious. She wants to see the bull up close. She runs to the fence and climbs over it. Spot follows her. + +"Come back, Lily, come back!" Tom shouts. He is scared for his sister and his dog. + +The bull sees Lily and Spot. He does not like them. He thinks they are in his space. He snorts and stamps his hoofs. He lowers his head and runs at them. + +Lily and Spot are in trouble. They try to run back to the fence, but the bull is faster. He is almost there. + +"Help, help!" Lily cries. + +Tom sees a stick on the ground. He picks it up and throws it at the bull. The stick hits the bull on the nose. The bull stops and shakes his head. He is surprised and hurt. + +Lily and Spot use the chance to jump over the fence. They are safe. + +"Thank you, Tom, thank you!" Lily says. She hugs her brother. + +"You're welcome, Lily, but don't do that again. The bull is not a friend. He is nosy and angry. We have to be careful," Tom says. + +They go back to the house with Spot. They tell their mom what happened. She is glad they are okay. She gives them a hug and a cookie. She tells them to stay away from the bull. He is not a toy. He is a big animal. +Anna loves to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She likes to paint animals and flowers and houses. She paints on paper and on the wall.

She paints a yellow lion and a pink elephant and a brown bear. She paints a purple castle and a white cloud and a black bird. She is very happy with her picture. + +Mommy comes and sees the picture. She is not angry. She is surprised. She says, "Wow, Anna, what a beautiful picture! You are very good at painting. What is this picture about?" + +Anna says, "This is a history picture. It is about a long time ago. There were big animals and small people. They lived in a castle and played with the bird. The sun was very hot and the sky was very blue. Do you like it, Mommy?" + +Mommy says, "I like it very much, Anna. It is a very creative and colorful history picture. But you know, you should not paint on the wall. You should paint on paper or on a canvas. Then you can hang your pictures on the wall and show them to everyone. Do you understand, Anna?" + +Anna says, "Yes, Mommy, I understand. I am sorry for painting on the wall. I will paint on paper next time. Can we keep this picture on the wall, please? It is my best picture ever." + +Mommy says, "OK, Anna, we can keep this picture on the wall for a while. But you have to promise me that you will not paint on the wall again. And you have to help me clean the wall later. Deal?" + +Anna says, "Deal, Mommy. Thank you, Mommy. I love you, Mommy." + +Mommy says, "I love you too, Anna. You are my little painter." +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They see a big tree with red apples. They want to pick some apples and eat them. + +"Look, Lily, there is a big apple up there. I want to get it," Tom says. + +He tries to reach the apple, but he is too small. He jumps and jumps, but he cannot touch it. + +"Wait, Tom, I have an idea. We can use this cloth to make a ladder," Lily says. + +She finds a long cloth in the shed. She ties one end to a branch and the other end to a fence. She climbs up the cloth and reaches the apple. + +"Here, Tom, catch!" she says and throws the apple to Tom. + +Tom catches the apple and smiles. He takes a big bite and says, "Mmm, this is yummy. Thank you, Lily." + +Lily climbs down the cloth and joins Tom. They share the apple and enjoy the sweet juice. + +They are happy and safe in the garden. They love playing together. +Lily and Max were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build tall stacks of different colors and shapes. Sometimes they made houses, or towers, or bridges. + +"Look, Lily, I made a castle!" Max said, pointing to his stack of blocks. "It has a door, and windows, and flags!" + +"That's nice, Max," Lily said. "But you remind me of someone. Someone who is not very clean." + +"Who?" Max asked, puzzled. + +"Someone who leaves his blocks all over the floor when he is done playing," Lily said. "Someone who makes Mommy and Daddy unhappy." + +Max looked around and saw that he had many blocks scattered on the floor. He felt a little guilty. He did not want to make Mommy and Daddy unhappy. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "You are right. I should be more clean. Will you help me put the blocks away?" + +"Of course, Max," Lily said. "We can do it together. It will be fun." + +They started to pick up the blocks and put them in a big box. They sorted them by color and shape.
