Anna thought the soldier was cool and wanted to play with it. + +She asked the boy, "Can I lend your soldier?" The boy looked at Anna and said, "No, this is my soldier. Go away." Anna felt sad and angry. She said, "But I have many dolls. I can lend you one of my dolls. You can choose any doll you want." The boy said, "I don't like dolls. They are boring and silly. I only like soldiers. Go away." + +Anna started to cry. She did not understand why the boy was so mean. She loved her dolls and wanted to share them. She thought the boy was wealthy because he had a toy soldier, but he was not nice. She wished he would be her friend and play with her. + +Her mom saw her crying and came to her. She hugged her and said, "What's wrong, Anna?" Anna told her mom what happened. Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Anna. Some people don't like to share. But you are very kind and generous. You don't need to lend your dolls to anyone who doesn't appreciate them. You can play with your dolls and have fun. And maybe you will find another friend who likes soldiers and dolls." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." She wiped her tears and took Lily from her mom. She said, "I love you, Lily. You are my best friend. Do you want to play with me?" Lily nodded and smiled. Anna and Lily went to the swings and had a good time. They forgot about the boy and his soldier. They were happy. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with trucks. They have many trucks in their room. Big trucks, small trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. They make truck sounds and move the trucks on the floor. + +One day, they see a bright yellow truck outside. It is very shiny and loud. It has a big crane on the back. They wonder what the truck is doing. They want to see the truck up close. They run to the window and look at the truck. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Tom says. "It is so cool! I wish I had a truck like that!" + +"Me too!" Sam says. "Let's go outside and touch the truck!" + +They put on their shoes and open the door. They do not tell their mom. They think their mom will say no. They run to the street and cross the road. They do not look for cars. They only look at the truck. + +But there is a car coming. It is very fast and loud. It does not see Tom and Sam. It hits them with a big bang. Tom and Sam fall to the ground. They do not move. They do not make any sound. They are hurt very bad. + +The truck driver and the car driver get out of their vehicles. They see Tom and Sam on the road. They are very scared and sad. They call for help. They try to help Tom and Sam. But it is too late. Tom and Sam are gone. They will never play with trucks again. +Sam liked to cook. He helped his mom make soup and cake and salad. He liked to taste the food and say if it was good or not. He wanted to be a chef when he grew up. + +One day, Sam saw a motorcycle outside his house. It was big and shiny and loud. He wanted to ride it. He asked his mom if he could. His mom said no. She said motorcycles were not for little boys. They were dangerous and fast. She said Sam should play with his toys instead. + +Sam was sad. He did not want to play with his toys. He wanted to ride the motorcycle. He waited until his mom was busy. Then he sneaked outside. He climbed on the motorcycle. He pushed the button. The motorcycle started. It made a lot of noise. Sam was scared. He did not know how to stop it. He held on tight. + +The motorcycle zoomed down the street. It went past cars and people and dogs. Sam cried for help. He wanted his mom. He wanted to go back home. He wanted to cook with his mom. + +A man saw Sam on the motorcycle. He was a policeman. He had a car with a siren and a badge. He chased the motorcycle. He shouted at Sam to stop. He caught up with the motorcycle. He grabbed Sam and pulled him off. He turned off the motorcycle. He was angry. He asked Sam why he did that. He said Sam could have hurt himself or someone else. He said Sam was very naughty. + +Sam was sorry. He was also thin. He said he was sorry. He said he wanted to ride the motorcycle. He said he liked to cook. He said he was a chef. The policeman was surprised. He said he liked to cook too. He said he was a chef before he was a policeman. He said cooking was fun and safe and good. He said motorcycles were not for little boys. They were for grown-ups who knew how to use them. He said Sam should listen to his mom and play with his toys. He said he would take Sam back home and talk to his mom. + +Sam learned his lesson. He never tried to ride a motorcycle again. He listened to his mom and played with his toys. He also cooked with his mom. He made soup and cake and salad. He tasted the food and said if it was good or not. He was happy. He still wanted to be a chef when he grew up. He also wanted to be a policeman like the man who saved him. He said cooking and helping people were both good things to do. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They gather leaves and flowers to make a big picture on the ground. They use a cut to hold the leaves and flowers together. They are happy. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is not friendly. It barks and runs to the picture. It jumps on the leaves and flowers and messes them up. Sara and Ben are scared and sad. They run away from the dog. + +They see a man. The man is the dog's owner. He is not reliable. He does not watch his dog. He does not say sorry to Sara and Ben. He just walks away with the dog. + +Sara and Ben are angry. They want to make a new picture. But they have no more leaves and flowers. They have no more cut. They have no more fun. + +They go home. They tell their moms what happened. Their moms are kind and hug them. They say they can make a new picture tomorrow. They say they can find a new cut. They say they can find a new park. They say they can find a new friend. A friend who is reliable. A friend who likes to play. A friend who does not have a big dog. +Anna was very happy. It was her birthday and she had a big cake with candles. She also had many presents from her family and friends. She opened them one by one and thanked everyone. + +She saw a small box with a pink ribbon. It was from her best friend, Lily. She opened it and saw a beautiful necklace with a shiny heart. It was delicate and sparkled in the light. She loved it very much and put it on. + +"Thank you, Lily! It is so pretty!" she said and hugged her friend. + +"You're welcome, Anna! I'm glad you like it. It is a special necklace. It has a secret. If you press the heart, it will play a song for you." Lily said and smiled. + +Anna pressed the heart and heard a sweet melody. She was amazed and happy. She danced and sang along with the song. + +But then, she tripped over a toy and fell down. The necklace broke and the heart fell off. The song stopped and the heart was silent. Anna was very sad and started to weep. + +"Oh no! I'm so sorry, Anna! I didn't mean to give you a bad present. It was delicate and I should have told you to be careful." Lily said and ran to her friend. + +She picked up the heart and tried to fix it. But it was too broken and she couldn't. She also wept and hugged Anna. + +"It's okay, Lily. It was not your fault. It was an accident. You gave me a good present. It was the best present ever. I still love it and I still love you. You are my best friend." Anna said and wiped her tears. + +She looked at the heart and smiled. She saw that it still sparkled in the light. She put it in her pocket and held Lily's hand. + +"Maybe we can find someone who can fix it. Or maybe we can make a new necklace with it. Or maybe we can just keep it as a memory. It will always play a song in our hearts." Anna said and kissed the heart. + +Lily nodded and kissed the heart too. They both smiled and hugged each other. They were still happy and they still had their friendship. That was the best present ever. +Anna and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran behind a big tree and waited for Anna to find him. + +"Where are you, Ben?" Anna called out. "I will find you soon!" + +Ben giggled and stayed quiet. He thought he had a good hiding spot. He looked at his watch and saw that he had been hiding for five minutes. He wondered if Anna would give up. + +"Ben, I give up!" Anna said. "You are too good at hiding. Come out, come out, wherever you are!" + +Ben smiled and got ready to jump out and surprise Anna. But just as he was about to do that, he saw something strange. A big bird flew down from the sky and landed on the tree. The bird had bright feathers and a long tail. It looked at Ben with its shiny eyes. + +"Hello, little boy," the bird said. "Do you want to see a magic trick?" + +Ben was amazed and curious. He nodded his head. + +"Watch this," the bird said. "I can vanish in a blink of an eye." + +The bird flapped its wings and said a funny word. Then, it disappeared. Ben could not see it anymore. + +"Wow!" Ben said. "That was cool! Where did you go, bird?" + +But the bird did not answer. Ben looked around, but he could not find it. He wondered if it was still hiding in the tree. + +"Ben, where are you?" Anna shouted. "I can't see you!" + +Ben realized that he had forgotten about Anna. He felt bad for making her wait. He decided to come out of his hiding spot and tell her about the bird. + +"Anna, I'm here!" Ben said. "I have something to tell you. I saw a magic bird that can vanish!" + +Anna ran to Ben and hugged him. She was happy to see him. She did not believe him about the bird, though. She thought he was making it up. + +"Ben, there is no such thing as a magic bird that can vanish," Anna said. "You are just telling a story." + +Ben shook his head. He knew what he saw. He wished the bird would come back and show Anna. + +"Maybe the bird will come back another day," Ben said. "Maybe it will teach me how to vanish, too." + +Anna laughed. She thought Ben was silly. She did not want to vanish. She wanted to play with Ben. + +"Come on, Ben," Anna said. "Let's play something else. How about tag? You are it!" + +Anna tapped Ben on the shoulder and ran away. Ben chased after her. He forgot about the bird for a while. He had fun with Anna. + +But deep inside, he still wondered about the bird. He hoped to see it again. He wanted to learn more from it. He thought the bird was wise and magical. He thought the bird was his friend. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red ball in the park. They ran to the ball and took turns to throw and catch it. They had a lot of fun with the ball. + +But then, a mean boy came and snatched the ball from Sue. He said, "This is my ball now. You can't have it." He ran away with the ball, laughing. Tom and Sue were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. + +They chased the mean boy, but he was too fast. He ran to the street, where there were many cars and bikes. He did not look where he was going. He crossed the street without waiting for the green light. He thought he was smart and safe. + +But he was wrong. A big car was coming fast. The driver did not see the mean boy. The mean boy did not see the car. The car hit the mean boy and the ball. There was a loud noise and a lot of smoke. The mean boy fell to the ground. The ball flew away. + +Tom and Sue stopped and gasped. They were scared and shocked. They saw the mean boy lying on the ground, not moving. They saw the driver get out of the car, looking worried and sorry. They saw the ball roll to the side of the road, looking dirty and flat. + +They felt sorry for the mean boy, even though he was mean. They realized that life was more important than a ball. They learned that being greedy and careless was not good. They decided to be kind and careful. + +They ran to the mean boy and the driver. They asked if they were okay. They called for help. They hoped that the mean boy would be okay. They hoped that he would learn his lesson. They hoped that he would be their friend. They hugged each other and thanked each other. They were glad that they had each other. They were glad that they were alive. +Tom has a brown pig. He likes his pig very much. He feeds his pig every day. He gives his pig apples and corn. His pig is happy and fat. + +One day, Tom sees his pig has mud on his back. He wants to clean his pig. He gets a bucket of water and a brush. He goes to his pig and says, "Pig, pig, let me rub you. You are dirty. I will make you clean." + +His pig does not like water. His pig likes mud. He thinks mud is fun. He runs away from Tom. He goes to the pond. He jumps in the pond. He makes a big splash. He gets more mud on his back. + +Tom chases his pig. He says, "Pig, pig, come back. You are still dirty. I want to rub you." His pig does not listen. He plays in the pond. He rolls in the mud. He makes more splashes. + +Tom is tired. He sits on the grass. He says, "Pig, pig, you are silly. You do not want to be clean. You want to be muddy. I still like you. You are my brown pig." His pig hears Tom. He comes out of the pond. He goes to Tom. He rubs his nose on Tom. He says, "Oink, oink, I like you too. You are my Tom." Tom laughs. He hugs his pig. He says, "Pig, pig, you are wet and dirty. But you are also cute and sweet. You are my best friend." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a kite and a bike. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, they see a big space in the park. It is a new playground. It has swings, slides and a sandbox. Anna and Ben are happy. They want to try the new playground. + +They run to the space and skip to the swings. They take turns and push each other. They laugh and sing. They are having a good time. + +But then, they see a boy. He is angry. He has no toys and no friends. He wants the swings. He pushes Anna and Ben off the swings. He says, "These are my swings. Go away!" + +Anna and Ben are sad and scared. They do not like the angry boy. They do not want to fight. They run away from the swings. They look for another toy. + +They see the slides. They skip to the slides. They climb up and slide down. They smile and shout. They are having fun again. + +But then, they see the boy. He is still angry. He wants the slides. He runs to the slides and kicks Anna and Ben off the slides. He says, "These are my slides. Go away!" + +Anna and Ben are hurt and mad. They do not like the angry boy. They do not want to cry. They run away from the slides. They look for another toy. + +They see the sandbox. They skip to the sandbox. They dig and build. They make castles and mountains. They are having fun once more. + +But then, they see the boy. He is angrier than ever. He wants the sandbox. He jumps to the sandbox and knocks down Anna and Ben's castles and mountains. He says, "This is my sandbox. Go away!" + +Anna and Ben are fed up and brave. They do not like the angry boy. They do not want to run away. They stand up to the boy. They say, "No, this is not your sandbox. This is our sandbox. This is everyone's sandbox. You cannot have all the toys. You have to share and be nice. If you want to play with us, you have to be kind and friendly. If you are mean and rude, you will have no toys and no friends. Do you want to be alone and angry, or do you want to be happy and have fun?" + +The boy is surprised and ashamed. He realizes that he is wrong. He says, "I'm sorry. I was angry because I had no toys and no friends. I did not know how to share and be nice. I want to play with you. I want to be kind and friendly. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna and Ben are generous and forgiving. They say, "Yes, we can forgive you. We can be your friends. We can share our toys with you. You can play with us. But you have to promise to be good and fair. Can you do that?" + +The boy says, "Yes, I can do that. I promise to be good and fair. Thank you for being my friends. Thank you for sharing your toys with me. Can we play together?" + +Anna and Ben say, "Yes, we can play together. Come on, let's skip to the swings. They are more fun when we share them." + +They all skip to the swings. They take turns and push each other. They laugh and sing. They are having a great time. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Being nice is better than being angry. Friendship is more valuable than toys. +Lily liked to play with her toy soldiers. She had many of them, in different colors and shapes. She pretended they were brave and strong, and fought bad guys. She also liked to feed them, because they needed food to be healthy and happy. + +One day, she found a new soldier in her toy box. He was very big and shiny, with a helmet and a sword. He looked impressive, like a hero. Lily wanted to play with him, and make him her leader. She picked him up and said, "Hello, soldier. What is your name?" + +The soldier did not answer. He was not a real soldier, but a toy. But Lily did not know that. She thought he was shy, or maybe he did not speak her language. She tried again, "Do you want to play with me? I have many friends. They are soldiers too. Look, this is Ben, and this is Anna, and this is Tom." + +The soldier still did not answer. He was not a toy soldier, but a statue. But Lily did not know that. She thought he was proud, or maybe he did not like her friends. She tried again, "Do you want some food? I have cookies and milk. They are yummy. You must be hungry, after fighting so much." + +The soldier still did not answer. He was not a statue, but a trophy. But Lily did not know that. She thought he was rude, or maybe he did not like cookies and milk. She felt sad, and said, "Why don't you talk to me? Don't you like me? I like you. You are impressive. Please, be my friend." + +The soldier still did not answer. He was not a trophy, but a gift. But Lily did not know that. She did not see the card that said, "To Lily, from Grandpa. Happy birthday, my little soldier. I love you." She did not hear the doorbell that rang, or the voice that called, "Lily, come here. Someone is here to see you." + +She only saw the soldier, who did not answer. She put him down, and said, "Fine. I don't need you. I have other friends. They are nice to me. They talk to me. They play with me. They eat with me. You are not impressive. You are boring. Goodbye, soldier." + +She left the toy box, and ran to the door. She did not see the soldier, who did not move. He was not boring, but a surprise. But Lily did not know that. She did not see the smile that appeared on his face, or the sparkle that flashed in his eyes. He did not say anything, but he thought, "Hello, Lily. I am your grandpa. I am your friend. I am your soldier. I am impressed by you. I love you." +Anna and Ben like to play outside when it rains. They put on their boots and coats and run to the park. They splash in the puddles and make mud pies. They laugh and have fun. + +But one day, they see a big puddle near the road. It looks like a lake. Anna and Ben want to jump in it and see how deep it is. They run towards it, but they do not see the car coming fast. + +"Stop!" shouts Mom, who is watching them from the bench. "That puddle is dangerous! The car can hit you!" She runs after them and grabs them by their hands. She pulls them away from the puddle and the road. The car zooms by and honks. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They hug Mom and say sorry. Mom is angry, but also happy that they are safe. She tells them to never play near the road or in big puddles. She says they can play in the small puddles in the park, but they have to be careful and listen to her. + +Anna and Ben nod and say okay. They go back to the park and play in the small puddles. They still have fun, but they also watch out for cars and Mom. They do not want to be in danger again. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big billboard near the road. The billboard has a picture of a dog and some words. Sara and Ben want to read the words, but they are too hard. + +"Ben, what does the billboard say?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know, Sara. Maybe it says something about the dog. Do you like the dog?" Ben says. + +"Yes, I like the dog. It is cute and fluffy. Can we go closer and see the dog?" Sara says. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. The road is busy and noisy. We have to hold hands and look both ways," Ben says. + +Sara and Ben hold hands and walk towards the billboard. They cross the street when it is safe. They get closer to the billboard and see the dog better. But they still can't read the words. + +"Maybe the words are too big and too far. We have to climb the billboard and see them better," Sara says. + +"No, Sara, that is not a good idea. The billboard is too high and too steep. We might fall and get hurt. We should go back and ask Mom or Dad to read the words for us," Ben says. + +But Sara does not listen to Ben. She wants to see the words. She lets go of Ben's hand and runs to the billboard. She finds a ladder and starts to climb it. Ben follows her and tries to stop her. + +"Sara, stop! Come down! It is dangerous!" Ben shouts. + +But Sara does not stop. She climbs higher and higher. She reaches the top of the billboard and sees the words. They say: "Adopt a dog today. Save a life. Call this number." + +Sara smiles. She thinks the words are nice. She wants to adopt a dog and save a life. She forgets about the danger. She leans over the edge of the billboard and tries to touch the dog's picture. + +But then she slips and loses her balance. She screams and falls. Ben screams too. He is scared for Sara. He runs to the edge of the billboard and sees Sara hanging from a rope. The rope is tied to the billboard and to Sara's waist. It is the only thing that saves Sara from falling to the ground. + +"Help! Help!" Sara cries. + +"Help! Help!" Ben cries. + +Some people hear their cries and come to help. They call the firemen. The firemen come with a big truck and a long ladder. They climb the ladder and reach Sara. They untie the rope and bring Sara down. They check if Sara is OK. She is not hurt, but she is very scared and sorry. + +"Sara, are you OK? Why did you do that? You could have died!" Ben says. + +"I'm OK, Ben. I'm sorry. I was curious. I wanted to see the words and the dog. I didn't mean to fall. I was stupid," Sara says. + +"No, you were not stupid. You were brave. But you were also foolish. You should have listened to me. You should have been careful. You should have stayed with me," Ben says. + +"I know, Ben. I'm sorry. I love you, Ben. Thank you for saving me," Sara says. + +"I love you too, Sara. You're welcome. But don't ever do that again, OK?" Ben says. + +"OK, Ben. I promise," Sara says. + +The firemen and the people clap and cheer for Sara and Ben. They hug them and praise them. They tell them they are lucky and happy. They tell them they are good and smart. They tell them they are safe and sound. They tell them they are sorry and forgiven. + +Mom and Dad come and see Sara and Ben. They are worried and angry. They are relieved and glad. They scold them and hug them. They thank the firemen and the people. They take Sara and Ben home and give them a big lecture. They also give them a big kiss. They tell them they are proud and grateful. They tell them they are loved and cherished. + +Sara and Ben learn their lesson. They never climb a billboard again. They never disobey Mom and Dad again. They never endanger themselves or others again. They always play outside safely and happily. They always read the words with Mom or Dad. They always love each other and help each other. + +And one day, they adopt a dog and save a life. The dog is cute and fluffy. The dog loves Sara and Ben. Sara and Ben love the dog. They name the dog Billboard. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big flag with many colors. They want to perform a show with the flag. + +They find an empty space near a tree. They lay the flag on the grass. They say, "We are ready to start. Who wants to watch our show?" + +Some other kids come to see. They sit on the grass. Tom and Anna pick up the flag. They wave it in the air. They run and jump with the flag. They make shapes with the flag. They smile and laugh. + +The other kids clap and cheer. They say, "Wow, you are good. Your show is fun. We like your flag." + +Tom and Anna bow and say, "Thank you. Thank you. We are happy you like our show. Do you want to play with us and the flag?" + +The other kids say, "Yes, yes. We want to play with you and the flag." + +They all share the flag and play together. They have a good time in the park. +Jen and Sam liked to play near the lake. They had a lot of toys and games that they kept in a big box. They were very organized and always put their things back in the box when they were done. + +One day, they saw a duck on the lake. It was white and fluffy and had a yellow beak. They wanted to feed it some bread, so they ran to the box to get some. But when they opened the box, they saw that it was empty. Someone had taken all their toys and games! + +"Who did this?" Jen cried. "Where are our things?" + +Sam looked around and saw some footprints in the mud. They were big and round and had claws. He felt scared and grabbed Jen's hand. + +"Maybe it was a bear," he whispered. "Maybe it wanted to play with our things." + +Jen and Sam followed the footprints to the other side of the lake. They hoped to find their things and get them back. But when they got there, they saw something that made them stop and gasp. + +It was not a bear. It was a dragon. A big, green, scaly dragon. It was lying on a pile of their toys and games, snoring loudly. It had a ball in its mouth, a hat on its head, and a puzzle on its belly. + +Jen and Sam felt angry and sad. They wanted to yell at the dragon and take their things back. But they also felt afraid. The dragon was much bigger and stronger than them. What if it woke up and got angry too? + +They did not know what to do. They looked at each other and felt alone. Then they heard a voice behind them. + +"Hello, little ones. What are you doing here?" + +They turned around and saw a lady. She was tall and kind and had a smile on her face. She was holding a basket of bread and fruit. + +"We are looking for our things," Jen said. "The dragon took them." + +The lady nodded and said, "I know. The dragon is my friend. He likes to collect things. He does not mean to hurt anyone. He just does not know how to share." + +She walked towards the dragon and said, "Wake up, sleepyhead. You have some visitors." + +The dragon opened its eyes and saw the lady. He smiled and said, "Hello, friend. Did you bring me some food?" + +The lady gave him some bread and fruit and said, "Yes, I did. But I also brought you some guests. These are Jen and Sam. They are the owners of the things you took. They are very sad and want them back." + +The dragon looked at Jen and Sam and saw their faces. He felt sorry and said, "Oh, I did not know. I just liked their things. They are so colorful and fun. I did not mean to make them sad." + +He got up and gave them back their things. He said, "Here, take them. I am sorry. Can we still be friends?" + +Jen and Sam looked at their things and felt happy. They also looked at the dragon and felt curious. He seemed nice and friendly. They said, "Thank you. Yes, we can be friends." + +They gave him some of their bread and fruit and said, "Do you want to play with us?" + +The dragon nodded and said, "Yes, I do. That would be fun." + +They all played together near the lake. They shared their toys and games and had a lot of fun. They learned how to be kind and generous and respectful. They became good friends. + +The lady watched them and felt proud. She comforted them when they needed it and praised them when they did well. She was glad that they had found each other. She knew that they would always be happy and safe near the lake. +Tom and Lily were playing outside with their toys. They liked to make cars and houses with the blocks and pretend they were driving and living in them. The sun was shining very bright and warm on their faces and hair. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big car with four wheels and a horn!" Tom said, showing his block car to his sister. + +"That's nice, Tom, but I made a bigger house with a door and a window!" Lily said, pointing to her block house. "You can come and visit me if you want." + +Tom drove his car to Lily's house and knocked on the door. "Hello, Lily, can I come in?" he asked. + +"Sure, Tom, come in and have some tea!" Lily said, pretending to pour tea from a toy pot into two cups. "But be careful, don't spill it on the floor!" + +Tom took a sip of the pretend tea and made a funny face. "This tea is too hot!" he said, putting down the cup. "I don't like it!" + +Lily laughed and said, "It's not real tea, Tom, it's just water! You have to pretend it's tea!" + +Tom and Lily played for a while, making noises and stories with their toys. They had so much fun that they didn't notice how tired they were. They were careless and forgot to clean up their toys when they were done. + +Soon, they felt sleepy and decided to take a nap. They lay down on a blanket on the grass and closed their eyes. The sun was still shining on them, but they didn't mind. They dreamed of more adventures with their toys. +Anna and Ben like to play in the kitchen. They pretend to be chefs and make pastry. They use flour, water, salt and butter. They roll the dough and cut shapes with cookie cutters. They put the pastry on a tray and put it in the oven. They are very happy. + +"Look, we made pastry!" Anna says to Ben. + +"Yes, we are good chefs!" Ben says to Anna. + +They wait for the pastry to bake. They smell something good. They think it is their pastry. They open the oven. But it is not their pastry. It is a fake pastry. It is made of plastic. It is a toy. Their mother put it in the oven to trick them. She laughs. + +"Ha ha, you did not make pastry, you made fake pastry!" their mother says. + +Anna and Ben are very sad. They cry. They do not like their mother's joke. They do not want to play in the kitchen anymore. They do not want to be chefs anymore. They do not like pastry anymore. They have a bad day. +Sam and Lily were friends. They liked to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they found a big box of chocolate in the kitchen. It was shiny and brown and smelled good. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sam said. "Can we have some?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Mom said we have to wait for her. She will ring the bell when she comes home." + +"But I'm hungry," Sam said. "And chocolate is yummy. Maybe we can have just one piece. It's easy to open the box." + +He pulled the lid and saw many small wrappers. He took one and unwrapped it. It was a round chocolate with a nut inside. He put it in his mouth and smiled. + +"Mmm, this is good. Try one, Lily." + +Lily looked at the box. She wanted to try, but she was afraid. What if Mom got angry? What if they got sick? + +"No, thank you," she said. "I will wait for Mom. She will be here soon." + +Sam shrugged. He took another chocolate and ate it. He did not hear the bell ring. He did not hear Mom come in. He did not hear her say, "Hello, kids. I have a surprise for you." + +He only heard her scream, "Sam! What have you done? You ate all the chocolate! That was for Grandma's birthday!" +Ben and Mia were playing in the park today. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they did not like the big dog that lived near the park. The big dog was scary. It had sharp teeth and loud bark. + +One day, the big dog got out of its yard. It ran towards the park. Ben and Mia saw the big dog and were afraid. They ran to the slide and climbed up. The big dog followed them and tried to bite them. + +"Help! Help!" Ben and Mia shouted. "Go away, big dog! You are scary!" + +A man heard their shouts. He was the big dog's owner. He ran to the park and saw the big dog. He was angry. He grabbed the big dog's collar and pulled it away from the slide. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" the man said. "You are not supposed to get out of the yard. You scared the children. Come on, let's go home." + +The man took the big dog to his car and shut the door. He drove away. Ben and Mia were safe. They got down from the slide and hugged each other. + +"Thank you, man!" Ben and Mia said. "You saved us from the big dog. You are nice." + +The man smiled and waved. "You're welcome, children. I'm sorry for the trouble. The big dog is not mean, just playful. But he needs to learn to behave. Have a good day." + +Ben and Mia waved back. They were happy. They went back to playing in the park. They hoped the big dog would not come back. They liked the park, but not the big dog. The big dog was scary. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to eat toast for breakfast. Mom makes toast for them every morning. She puts butter and jam on the toast. Ben and Mia say, "Thank you, Mom!" + +One day, Mom has to go to work early. She tells Ben and Mia to make toast by themselves. She shows them how to use the toaster. She says, "Be careful, it is hot. And listen for the pop when the toast is ready." + +Ben and Mia nod. They say, "Okay, Mom. Bye, Mom!" Mom kisses them and leaves. Ben and Mia go to the kitchen. They put bread in the toaster. They wait for the pop. + +But Ben and Mia do not hear the pop. They are deaf. They cannot hear anything. They only use their eyes and their hands to talk. They forget to look at the toaster. They play with their toys. They do not see the smoke. + +The toast is burned. It is black and hard. The smoke alarm goes off. It makes a loud noise. Ben and Mia do not hear the noise. They do not see the flashing light. They do not smell the smoke. + +Dad is in his room. He hears the noise. He smells the smoke. He runs to the kitchen. He sees Ben and Mia. He sees the toast. He is scared. He grabs Ben and Mia. He takes them outside. He says, "Are you okay? What happened?" + +Ben and Mia are confused. They do not know what Dad is saying. They do not know what is wrong. They point to the toaster. They say, "Toast?" + +Dad hugs them. He says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I forgot you are deaf. You have to look at the toaster. You have to be careful. I love you." + +Ben and Mia hug Dad. They say, "We love you too. We are sorry. We did not look. We will look next time." + +Dad smiles. He says, "It's okay. Let's go make some new toast. And some eggs. And some juice. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Mia nod. They say, "Good. Yummy. Thank you, Dad!" + +They go back to the kitchen. They make toast. They eat toast. They are happy. +Tom and Ann are husband and wife. They live in a green house with a big garden. They like to play with their dog, Spot, and their cat, Fluffy. + +One sunny day, they decide to play hide and seek in the garden. Tom says, "I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will find you." Ann says, "OK, let's play!" She runs to find a good hiding place. + +Tom closes his eyes and counts, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!" He opens his eyes and looks around. He sees Spot wagging his tail near a bush. He thinks, "Maybe Ann is hiding behind the bush." He walks to the bush and says, "I found you!" + +But when he looks behind the bush, he does not see Ann. He only sees Fluffy sleeping on a blanket. Fluffy opens one eye and meows. Tom says, "Oops, sorry, Fluffy. You are not Ann. Where is Ann?" + +He hears a giggle from behind a tree. He turns and sees Ann peeking out. She says, "You did not find me! I win!" Tom says, "You are very good at hiding, Ann. You win!" He runs to the tree and hugs Ann. They laugh and kiss. + +Spot and Fluffy join them and they all play together in the garden. They are very happy. They love each other and their green house. +Lily and Max were playing in the woods. They liked to find new things and have fun. They saw a stream with clear water and shiny rocks. They wanted to cross the stream and see what was on the other side. + +Lily found a big log that was over the stream. She said, "Let's use this log to cross the stream. It will be easy and safe." Max said, "No, I want to jump over the stream. It will be more fun and fast." Lily said, "But you might fall and get wet and hurt. The log is better." Max said, "No, it's not. I can jump very far and high. Watch me!" + +Max ran and jumped over the stream. But he did not land on the other side. He landed in the middle of the stream. He got wet and cold and scared. He yelled, "Help! Help! I'm stuck in the stream!" Lily heard him and ran to the log. She crossed the stream on the log and helped Max get out of the water. She said, "Are you okay, Max? You should have listened to me. The log was safer than jumping." Max said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. Thank you for helping me." Lily said, "You're welcome, Max. I'm glad you're okay. Next time, let's be careful and smart when we play in the woods." + +The moral of the story is: It is better to be safe than sorry. Listen to your friends who care about you and want to help you. Don't do things that are too risky or dangerous. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play cops and robbers. Tim is the cop and Sam is the robber. They run around the house and the yard. + +"Stop, robber! You are bad!" Tim shouts. He has a toy gun and a hat. + +"No, you can't catch me! I am fast!" Sam says. He has a bag and a mask. + +They chase each other for a long time. They have fun. But they also make a lot of noise and mess. + +Mom is busy. She has to cook and clean and work. She hears the boys and gets angry. + +"Tim and Sam, enough! You are too loud and too wild! You need to sleep now!" Mom says. She is tired and has a headache. + +"But Mom, we are not sleepy! We want to play more!" Tim and Sam say. They are not happy. + +Mom does not listen. She takes them to their room and puts them in their beds. + +"This is your jail. You have to stay here and be quiet. No more playing. No more talking. Only sleeping. Do you understand?" Mom says. She is stern and serious. + +Tim and Sam nod. They do not want to make Mom more angry. They lie down and close their eyes. + +They pretend they are still playing. They think of ways to escape from jail. They whisper to each other. + +"Psst, robber, I have a plan. We can dig a tunnel under the bed. Then we can run away and hide in the treehouse." + +"Psst, cop, that sounds good. But we have to be careful. Mom might hear us and catch us again." + +They giggle and smile. They are still having fun. But they are also sleepy. They yawn and stretch. + +They fall asleep. They dream of cops and robbers. They are happy. +Tom was restless. He did not want to sleep. He wanted to play with his toys and his dog. But Mom said it was night time and he had to go to bed. + +"Please, Mom, can I stay up a little more?" Tom asked. + +"No, Tom, you need to sleep. Tomorrow you can play all you want. Now close your eyes and have sweet dreams," Mom said. + +She kissed him good night and turned off the light. Tom tried to sleep, but he could not. He tossed and turned in his bed. He heard noises outside. He wondered what they were. + +He got out of his bed and went to the window. He looked at the yard. He saw a big shadow moving in the dark. He was scared. He thought it was a monster. + +He ran to Mom's room and knocked on the door. + +"Mom, Mom, there is a monster in the yard!" he cried. + +Mom opened the door and hugged him. + +"Shh, Tom, there is no monster. It's just the wind and the trees. Come, I'll show you," she said. + +She took him to the window and pointed at the yard. + +"See, Tom, that's not a monster. That's your dog, Spot. He is awake too. He likes to run and chase the leaves. He is having fun," she said. + +Tom looked again and saw that Mom was right. It was Spot, his dog. He wagged his tail and barked when he saw Tom. + +"Hi, Spot!" Tom said. + +He felt silly and relieved. He was not scared anymore. He smiled and hugged Mom. + +"Thank you, Mom. I'm sorry I woke you up. Can I say good night to Spot?" he asked. + +"Of course, Tom. But then you have to go back to bed, OK?" Mom said. + +"OK, Mom," Tom said. + +He went to the yard and petted Spot. He told him he loved him and to sleep well. Spot licked his face and wagged his tail. + +Tom went back to his bed and snuggled under the covers. He felt sleepy and happy. He closed his eyes and had sweet dreams. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find things in the dirt. Sometimes they found worms, sometimes they found stones, and sometimes they found nothing. + +One day, they found a potato. It was big and brown and had eyes. Lily and Tom were very happy. They showed it to each other and said, "Look, a potato!" + +They decided to take it to their mom and ask her to cook it for them. They ran to the house, holding the potato. But when they got to the door, they saw their mom was sleeping on the couch. She looked tired and had a book on her chest. + +Lily and Tom knew they had to be quiet. They did not want to wake up their mom. They whispered to each other, "What should we do with the potato?" + +They thought for a while. Then, Tom had an idea. He said, "I remember, dad has a pot in the shed. We can cook the potato ourselves!" + +Lily liked the idea. She said, "Yes, let's do that! But we have to be careful. We don't want to burn ourselves or make a mess." + +They tiptoed to the shed, carrying the potato. They found the pot and filled it with water. They put the potato in the water and put the pot on a small stove. They turned on the stove and waited for the water to boil. + +They were very proud of themselves. They thought they were very clever and grown-up. They did not know that cooking a potato was not so easy. They did not know that they had to peel the potato, or cut it, or add salt, or check if it was soft. + +They just watched the pot and the potato, and hoped their mom would not wake up. They did not hear the smoke alarm, or the fire truck, or the neighbors shouting. They only heard the potato when it exploded. +Sara and Ben are playing in the sand. They have a bucket and a shovel each. They want to make a big castle with towers and walls. + +Sara digs some sand and puts it in her bucket. She flips it over and makes a tower. She is happy. She says, "Look, Ben, I made a tower!" + +Ben digs some sand and puts it in his bucket. He flips it over and makes a tower too. He is happy. He says, "Look, Sara, I made a tower too!" + +They make more towers and walls. They have a big castle. They are very happy. + +But then, a big boy comes. He has no bucket and no shovel. He sees Sara and Ben's castle. He wants it. He says, "That's my castle! Give it to me!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They say, "No, that's our castle! We made it!" + +The big boy is angry. He kicks their castle. He breaks their towers and walls. He laughs. He says, "Ha ha ha! Now it's my castle!" + +Sara and Ben are sad. They cry. They say, "That's not fair! You are mean!" + +A lady sees them. She is the big boy's mom. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you breaking their castle? That's not nice!" + +The big boy is scared. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted a castle too." + +The lady says, "You can't take what is not yours. You have to ask and share. And you have to say sorry to them." + +The big boy says, "I'm sorry, Sara and Ben. I was wrong. Can I play with you?" + +Sara and Ben are still sad. But they are kind. They say, "OK, you can play with us. But you have to be nice. And you have to help us make a new castle." + +The big boy says, "OK, I will be nice. And I will help you. Do you have a bucket and a shovel for me?" + +Sara and Ben say, "Yes, we have a bucket and a shovel for you. We can supply them to you. But you have to take good care of them." + +The big boy says, "Thank you, Sara and Ben. You are good friends." + +They give him a bucket and a shovel. They dig some sand. They make a new castle. They have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys. Tom had a red motorcycle. Sam had a blue car. They raced their toys on the floor. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm faster than you!" Tom said. + +"No, you're not, I'm faster than you!" Sam said. + +They played and played until it was time for lunch. Mom called them to the table. They left their toys on the floor. + +After lunch, they went back to play. But Tom could not find his red motorcycle. He looked everywhere. He asked Sam. + +"Where is my motorcycle, Sam?" Tom said. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe you lost it," Sam said. + +Tom was sad. He started to cry. He wanted his motorcycle. + +Mom heard Tom cry. She came to see what was wrong. + +"Why are you crying, Tom?" Mom said. + +"Sam took my motorcycle. He hid it somewhere. He is mean," Tom said. + +Mom looked at Sam. Sam looked guilty. He had a secret. + +"Sam, did you take Tom's motorcycle?" Mom said. + +Sam nodded. He was sorry. He went to his bed. He took out the red motorcycle from under his pillow. He had taken it when Tom was not looking. He wanted to play with it. He thought it was cool. + +"Here, Tom. I'm sorry. I took your motorcycle. You can have it back," Sam said. + +Tom stopped crying. He took his motorcycle. He was happy. + +"Thank you, Sam. I forgive you. Do you want to play with me?" Tom said. + +Sam nodded. He was happy too. + +"Okay, let's play. But be careful. The motorcycle is hot. It was under your pillow for a long time," Tom said. + +They played with their toys. They shared and took turns. They had fun. Mom smiled. She was proud of them. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. They are very intelligent. They can count to ten and say many words. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing in their room. They have a big box of crayons. They draw on the paper, on the wall, and on their shirts. + +"Look, Ben, I made a rainbow on my shirt!" Lily says. + +"That's pretty, Lily, but Mommy will be angry. We are not supposed to draw on our shirts. We should clean them." Ben says. + +"How do we clean them, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"We can use water and soap. Come, I will show you." Ben says. + +They go to the bathroom. They fill the sink with water. They put some soap on their shirts. They rub and scrub. The crayons come off. Their shirts are clean. + +"Good job, Lily and Ben! You are very intelligent. You know how to clean your shirts." Mommy says. She comes to the bathroom. She sees their shirts. She smiles. + +"Thank you, Mommy. We are sorry we drew on our shirts. We will not do it again." Lily and Ben say. + +Mommy hugs them. She is proud of them. She loves them very much. +Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They see a snake on the grass. The snake is long and green and has black spots. Sara and Tom are not afraid. They want to watch the snake. + +"Look, Tom, the snake is moving!" Sara says. She points at the snake. The snake is sliding on the grass. It is looking for food. + +"Wow, Sara, the snake is beautiful!" Tom says. He likes the snake's colors. The snake is shiny in the sun. + +"Can we touch the snake, Tom?" Sara asks. She wants to feel the snake's skin. + +"No, Sara, we can't touch the snake," Tom says. He remembers what his mom told him. "Snakes can bite. Snakes can be dangerous. We have to be careful." + +"OK, Tom, we won't touch the snake," Sara says. She nods her head. She understands. "But we can watch the snake from here. We can be friends with the snake." + +Sara and Tom sit on the grass. They watch the snake for a long time. They are happy. They like the snake. The snake likes them too. It does not bite. It does not run away. It stays with Sara and Tom. They are all friends. +Anna and Ben were bored. They wanted to play outside, but it was raining. They looked out the window and saw the wet grass and the gray sky. They sighed. + +"Mom, can we go out?" Anna asked. + +"No, sweetie, it's too cold and wet. You'll catch a cold. Why don't you play with your toys or read a book?" Mom said. + +"But we played with our toys and read our books already. We want to do something fun and adventurous!" Ben said. + +Mom thought for a moment. She smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why don't you pretend that you are explorers and that the house is a jungle? You can use your imagination and find all kinds of animals and plants and treasures. You can even make a map and a compass with some paper and crayons." + +Anna and Ben liked Mom's idea. They got their paper and crayons and made a map and a compass. They put on their hats and backpacks and started their adventure. They crawled under the table and pretended it was a cave. They saw a teddy bear and pretended it was a bear. They climbed on the sofa and pretended it was a mountain. They saw a picture of a bird and pretended it was a parrot. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the rain. They were happy and adventurous. +Tom and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they quarrel. They quarrel over who gets the best toy, who gets the most candy, who gets to watch TV. They make a lot of noise and their mom gets angry. + +One day, they find a big toy missile in the garage. It is shiny and red and has a button. They both want to play with it. They grab it and pull it and shout at each other. + +"Give it to me, it's mine!" Tom says. + +"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Ben says. + +They do not listen to their mom, who tells them to stop and share. They do not know that the missile is not a toy. It is a real missile that their dad brought home from his work. He is a soldier and he forgot to lock it. + +They push the button and the missile makes a loud sound. It flies out of the garage and into the sky. It goes very fast and very far. They do not see where it goes. + +They hear a big boom and see a bright flash. They feel the ground shake and the air burn. They are scared and nervous. They cry and hug each other. + +They do not know that the missile hit the city. They do not know that many people are hurt and many buildings are broken. They do not know that they have done a very bad thing. They do not know that their mom and dad are very sad and angry. They do not know that they will be in big trouble. They do not know that they will never play with toys again. +Sara and Ben like to play with their blocks. They build towers and houses and cars with them. But sometimes they fight over the blocks. Sara wants the red blocks and Ben wants the blue blocks. + +One day, they were playing with their blocks when they saw a rainbow in the sky. It was very bright and had many colors. Sara and Ben stopped fighting and ran to the window. They wanted to see the rainbow better. + +"Wow, look at the rainbow!" Sara said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "I like the green color. It is like the grass." + +"I like the purple color. It is like the flowers," Sara said. + +They smiled at each other and forgot about the blocks. They watched the rainbow until it faded away. + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was their baby brother, Sam. He had crawled into their room and found their blocks. He was throwing them everywhere. He was making a big mess. + +Sara and Ben were angry. They ran to their blocks and tried to get them back. But Sam was faster. He grabbed more blocks and scattered them on the floor. + +"Stop it, Sam!" Sara shouted. "Those are our blocks!" + +"Give them back, Sam!" Ben yelled. "You are ruining our play!" + +But Sam did not listen. He laughed and threw more blocks. He liked to see them fly. + +Sara and Ben were very angry. They started to cry. They wanted their blocks back. They did not like Sam. + +Then they heard their mom. She came into their room and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"What is going on here?" she asked. "Why are you crying? And why are the blocks scattered all over the floor?" + +Sara and Ben pointed at Sam. They told their mom what he did. They said he was bad. + +But their mom did not scold Sam. She picked him up and hugged him. She said he was just a baby. He did not know better. He was curious and wanted to play. + +She told Sara and Ben to calm down. She said they should share their blocks with Sam. She said they could teach him how to build with them. She said they could have more fun together. + +She helped them pick up the blocks and put them in a box. She said they could play with them later. She said they should go outside and see if the rainbow was still there. + +Sara and Ben were not angry anymore. They wiped their tears and nodded. They followed their mom and Sam outside. They hoped to see the rainbow again. They hoped to play with their blocks and their brother. They hoped to be happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who loved animals. They were very happy when their mom and dad took them to a safari park. They saw lions, zebras, giraffes and many other animals. They wanted to see them up close, so they asked their mom and dad if they could get out of the car. + +"No, you can't," their mom and dad said. "It's not safe. The animals might hurt you or run away. You have to stay in the car and watch them from a distance." + +Anna and Ben were sad, but they obeyed their mom and dad. They looked at the animals through the window and took pictures with their camera. They saw a graceful gazelle jumping over a bush. They saw a big elephant spraying water with its trunk. They saw a funny monkey swinging from a tree. + +But then they saw something that made them curious. They saw a small hole in the fence that surrounded the park. They wondered what was behind the hole. They wanted to find out. + +"Let's go and see what's there," Ben said to Anna. + +"No, we can't," Anna said. "Mom and dad said we have to stay in the car. It's not safe." + +"Come on, don't be scared," Ben said. "It's just a little hole. We can go and come back quickly. I dare you to go with me." + +Anna didn't want to go, but she didn't want to seem scared either. She wanted to prove that she was brave. She agreed to go with Ben. They opened the car door quietly and sneaked out. They ran to the hole and crawled through it. + +They found themselves in a different part of the park. They saw more animals, but they were different from the ones they had seen before. They saw a snake, a crocodile, a scorpion and a spider. They were scary and ugly. They hissed, snapped, stung and bit. Anna and Ben were terrified. They wished they had stayed in the car. + +They tried to go back to the hole, but they couldn't find it. They were lost. They cried and screamed for help, but no one heard them. They were alone and in danger. + +Meanwhile, their mom and dad noticed that they were gone. They panicked and called the park staff. They searched for them everywhere. They hoped that they were safe and sound. + +After a long time, they finally found them. They were hiding under a rock, surrounded by the scary animals. They were dirty, scratched and bitten. They were very sorry and ashamed. They hugged their mom and dad and apologized. + +"We're so sorry, mom and dad," they said. "We were wrong. We shouldn't have gone out of the car. We shouldn't have been curious. We shouldn't have dared each other. We learned our lesson. We will never do it again." + +Their mom and dad were angry, but they were also relieved. They forgave them and took them back to the car. They drove away from the park, thankful that nothing worse had happened. + +Anna and Ben learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned that curiosity can be dangerous, that rules are there for a reason, and that daring each other can lead to trouble. They learned to be obedient, careful and wise. They learned to respect the animals and their habitats. They learned to be happy with what they had and not to want more. They learned to be grateful for their mom and dad and their love. +Tom and Anna like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big box. They can make the box into anything they want. Sometimes it is a house, sometimes it is a car, sometimes it is a rocket. + +One day, they decide to make the box into a theater. They cut out a hole in the front of the box and draw curtains on it. They also make tickets and posters for their show. They are going to tell a story to their mom and dad. + +They invite their mom and dad to come and watch their show. They say, "You have to pay one ticket to see our story. It is a very lively story. You will like it a lot." Their mom and dad smile and give them one ticket each. They sit on the floor in front of the box. + +Tom and Anna go inside the box. They use their puppets and their voices to tell their story. Their story is about a lion and a mouse who become friends. They make the lion roar and the mouse squeak. They make the lion chase and the mouse hide. They make the lion get stuck and the mouse help. They make the lion and the mouse hug and say thank you. + +Their mom and dad clap and cheer. They say, "That was a wonderful story. You are very good at telling stories. We are very proud of you." Tom and Anna come out of the box. They bow and smile. They say, "Thank you for watching our story. We hope you had fun." They hug their mom and dad. They are very happy. +Tommy likes to play in the garden. He likes to look for bugs and flowers. One day, he sees a spider on a leaf. The spider is small and black, with eight legs and two eyes. + +"Hello, spider," Tommy says. "Do you want to be my friend?" + +The spider does not say anything. It moves its legs a little. Tommy thinks the spider is shy. He is gentle with the spider. He does not touch it or scare it. He raises his hand and talks to it softly. + +"I have a nice home for you," Tommy says. "You can live in my jar. I will give you water and food. You will be happy with me." + +Tommy takes his jar from his pocket. He puts it near the leaf. He waits for the spider to go inside. The spider looks at the jar. It looks at Tommy. It does not know what to do. + +"Please, spider," Tommy says. "I will be a good friend. I will not hurt you. Come with me." + +The spider thinks for a moment. It likes the leaf, but it is lonely. It sees that Tommy is gentle and kind. It decides to trust him. It crawls off the leaf and into the jar. Tommy smiles and puts the lid on the jar. He makes some holes for air. + +"Thank you, spider," Tommy says. "You are my new friend. I will call you Spotty. Do you like that name?" + +The spider does not say anything. It spins a web in the jar. It feels safe and warm. It nods its head a little. It likes the name Spotty. It likes Tommy. They are friends. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big robot near the swings. The robot had red eyes and sharp teeth. It looked very bad. + +"Mom, can we play with the robot?" Tom asked. + +"No, my loves, that robot is not for playing. It is very dangerous. It can hurt you with its teeth and claws. Stay away from it," Mom said. + +But Tom and Lily were curious. They wanted to see the robot up close. They waited until Mom was talking to another mom. Then they ran to the robot. + +"Hello, robot. Do you want to be our friend?" Lily said. + +The robot did not answer. It made a loud noise and moved its arms. It tried to grab Tom and Lily. + +"Help, Mom! The robot is bad!" Tom shouted. + +Mom heard Tom and Lily. She ran to them. She picked them up and carried them away from the robot. She was very scared and angry. + +"Tom and Lily, you were very naughty. You did not listen to me. You could have been hurt by the robot. Never go near it again. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were very sorry. They hugged Mom and said they loved her. + +"Mom, we love you. We are sorry. We will not go near the bad robot again," they said. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She was glad they were safe. She took them to the slide and the sandbox. They had fun and forgot about the robot. + +The robot was still near the swings. It was lonely and sad. It wished it had friends. It did not know how to be nice. It only knew how to spring and bite. It hoped someone would teach it how to play. +Tom hurt his leg when he fell off his bike. He cried and his mom came to help him. She put a band-aid on his leg and gave him a hug. + +"Does it still hurt?" she asked. + +"A little bit," Tom said. "But I'm brave." + +Mom smiled and said, "You are very brave. And your leg will heal soon. Then you can ride your bike again." + +Tom nodded and felt better. He wanted to play with his friends, but he had to rest his leg. He was bored and sad. + +Then he heard a knock on the door. He saw his friends Lily and Sam outside. They had their bikes with them. + +"Hi, Tom!" they said. "We came to see you. Are you okay?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Hi, Lily and Sam! I'm okay, but I can't ride my bike. I hurt my leg." + +Lily and Sam looked at his band-aid and said, "Oh, no! That's too bad. We're sorry you hurt your leg." + +They came inside and gave Tom a card. It had a picture of a bike and a heart. It said, "Get well soon, Tom. We miss you." + +Tom felt happy and said, "Thank you, Lily and Sam. You are very nice. This is a great card." + +They sat on the floor and played with Tom's toys. They had fun and laughed. Tom forgot about his leg and felt good. + +Mom came and said, "It's time for Lily and Sam to go home. They have to eat dinner." + +Tom said, "Bye, Lily and Sam. Thank you for coming. You are welcome anytime." + +Lily and Sam said, "Bye, Tom. We hope your leg heals fast. We'll see you soon." + +They hugged Tom and left. Tom waved and said, "See you soon." + +Mom said, "You have very good friends, Tom. They care about you." + +Tom said, "Yes, I do. And I care about them. They make me feel fit." + +Mom said, "That's wonderful, Tom. I'm proud of you." + +She kissed him and said, "Now, let's eat dinner. You need to eat well to heal well." + +Tom nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I'm hungry." + +They went to the kitchen and ate dinner. Tom felt happy and loved. He knew his leg would heal soon and he would ride his bike again with his friends. He was brave and fit. +Lila liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a fairy. The fairy was very small and had wings. She was purple, like Lila's dress. + +"Hello, little girl," the fairy said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Lila was happy. She loved fairies. She nodded and smiled. + +"Come with me, then," the fairy said. "I will show you a magic place. But you have to trust me. Do you trust me?" + +Lila nodded again. She trusted the fairy. She took the fairy's hand and followed her. + +The fairy led Lila to a big tree. She said there was a secret door in the tree. She opened the door and told Lila to go inside. + +"It's very fun in there," the fairy said. "You will see many wonders. But you have to be quiet. Don't make any noise. Do you understand?" + +Lila nodded. She wanted to see the wonders. She went inside the tree. + +But there were no wonders in the tree. There was only darkness and cold. Lila was scared. She wanted to go back. She called for the fairy. + +But the fairy did not answer. The fairy had lied to Lila. She had trapped her in the tree. She did not want to play with her. She wanted to hurt her. + +Lila cried and cried. But no one heard her. No one came to help her. She was alone in the tree. She wished she had not trusted the fairy. She wished she had stayed in the garden. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a pretty doll with a pink dress and long hair. Ben has a board with letters and numbers on it. He likes to learn new words and count. + +"Look, Sara, this is how you spell your name," Ben says, pointing to the board. "S-A-R-A. Sara." + +"That's nice, Ben," Sara says, but she is not very interested. She likes to brush her doll's hair and make her dance. + +"Can I play with your doll, Sara?" Ben asks. "She is very pretty. I want to see her dress and hair." + +"No, Ben, this is my doll," Sara says, holding her doll tightly. "You have your board. You can play with that." + +"But I want to play with your doll, too," Ben says, feeling sad. "Please, Sara, let me have a turn." + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes her doll, but she also likes her brother. She does not want to make him sad. + +"Okay, Ben, you can play with my doll for a little bit," Sara says, giving him her doll. "But be careful. Don't pull her hair or rip her dress." + +"Thank you, Sara, you are very nice," Ben says, smiling. He takes the doll and looks at her closely. He sees a tag on her dress that says her name. + +"Look, Sara, your doll has a name, too," Ben says, showing her the tag. "It says M-E-N-T-I-O-N. Mention." + +"Mention?" Sara says, confused. "That's a funny name for a doll. Why is her name Mention?" + +"I don't know, Sara," Ben says, shrugging. "Maybe she likes to mention things. Like, 'Hello, I am Mention. I like to mention that you are very pretty and nice.'" + +Sara laughs. She thinks that Mention is a funny name, but she also thinks that it is a nice thing to say. + +"Hello, Mention," Sara says, taking her doll back. "I like to mention that you are very pretty and nice, too. And so is Ben. He is a good brother." + +Ben smiles. He is happy that Sara shared her doll with him. He thinks that Sara is a good sister. + +They hug each other and keep playing with their toys. They have fun with Mention and the board. They are a happy family. +Tom is a hero. He likes to help people and animals. He has a red cape and a big smile. He can run fast and jump high. He always comes when someone needs him. + +One day, Tom hears a loud meow. He looks up and sees a cat stuck in a tree. The cat is scared and hungry. Tom runs to the tree and says, "Don't worry, cat. I will help you. I am a hero." + +Tom tries to climb the tree, but it is too tall and slippery. He cannot reach the cat. He thinks hard and sees a ladder nearby. He runs to the ladder and brings it to the tree. He puts the ladder against the tree and climbs up. He grabs the cat and holds it gently. He says, "You are safe now, cat. I am a hero." + +Tom climbs down the ladder and puts the cat on the ground. The cat is happy and purrs. It rubs its head against Tom's leg and says, "Thank you, hero. You are very kind and brave. You are my friend." + +Tom smiles and says, "You are welcome, cat. I am glad you are okay. You are my friend too." + +Tom and the cat hug and play. They are both happy and proud. Tom is a hero. He likes to help people and animals. He always comes when someone needs him. He is available. +Tom was sick. He had a cough and a fever. He felt very hot and tired. His mom gave him some medicine to make him feel better. She said, "You need to rest, Tom. Rest will help you heal." + +Tom did not like to rest. He wanted to play with his toys and watch his favorite show. He said, "But mom, I'm bored. I don't want to rest. Can I play for a little bit?" + +Mom shook her head. She said, "No, Tom. You have to rest. Playing is hard for your body when you are sick. It will make you feel worse. You can play when you are well again." + +Tom frowned. He did not like to hear that. He said, "But mom, I don't like to rest. Rest is hard for me. I can't sleep. I can't have fun. Rest is boring." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I know, Tom. Rest is hard sometimes. But it is good for you. It will make you strong and healthy. I will stay with you and read you a story. How about that?" + +Tom nodded. He liked stories. He said, "Okay, mom. I will try to rest. Will you read me the story about the lion and the mouse?" + +Mom said, "Sure, Tom. I will read you the story about the lion and the mouse. It is a nice story. Come on, let's go to your bed and cuddle." + +Tom and mom went to his bed. Mom read him the story about the lion and the mouse. Tom listened and smiled. He felt a little better. He closed his eyes and rested. Mom kissed him and said, "I love you, Tom. You are a good boy. Rest well." +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with clay. They made animals, cars, houses and many other things with clay. They had fun and shared their clay with each other. + +One day, a new boy came to their school. His name was Ben and he had no clay. He looked poor and sad. Tom and Sam did not want to play with him. They thought he was dirty and strange. They hid their clay from him and told him to go away. + +Ben felt lonely and hurt. He wanted to make friends and play with clay too. He tried to find some clay in the trash, but he only found dirt and rocks. He cried and wished he had some clay. + +At lunch time, Tom and Sam ate their sandwiches and drank their juice. They were full and happy. They decided to take a nap under a big tree. They put their clay in their backpacks and closed their eyes. + +While they were sleeping, Ben saw their backpacks. He was hungry and thirsty. He thought maybe they had some food or water in their backpacks. He opened them and saw their clay. He felt a surge of joy. He took some clay and started to make a flower. He thought maybe he could give it to Tom and Sam and they would like him. + +But Tom and Sam woke up and saw Ben with their clay. They were angry and scared. They yelled at Ben and snatched their clay from him. They threw his flower on the ground and stomped on it. They called him a thief and a liar. They ran away and left him alone. + +Ben felt sad and ashamed. He picked up the pieces of his flower and put them in his pocket. He wished he had not taken their clay. He wished he had asked them nicely. He wished they had been kind to him. + +The moral of the story is: Do not judge people by how they look or what they have. Do not take things that do not belong to you. Be generous and friendly to others. You may find a true friend. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked the cheap ones best. They were colorful and made funny noises. They did not care if they broke or got dirty. + +"Look, Lily, I have a car that can scatter sand!" Ben said, holding a plastic truck. He poured some sand from a bucket into the truck's bed and drove it around the carpet. + +"That's cool, Ben, but I have a doll that can scatter flowers!" Lily said, holding a rag doll. She had a basket of paper flowers that she had made with her mom. She put some flowers in the doll's arms and shook it gently. + +They both laughed as they watched the sand and the flowers fly in the air. They did not see their dad coming in from work. He was tired and hungry. He wanted to sit on the couch and watch some TV. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" he asked, smiling. + +"We are playing with our toys, daddy!" Lily and Ben said, happily. + +"That's nice, but you made a big mess. You have to clean it up, OK?" he said, pointing at the sand and the flowers on the carpet. + +"OK, daddy, we will clean it up," Lily and Ben said, nodding. + +They put their toys away and picked up the sand and the flowers. They put them in the trash can. They hugged their dad and said sorry. + +"It's OK, kids, I love you. But next time, please play with your toys in the backyard, OK?" he said, hugging them back. + +"OK, daddy, we will play in the backyard next time," Lily and Ben said, smiling. + +They all went to the kitchen to have some dinner. They were happy and hungry. They liked their cheap toys, but they loved their dad more. +Lily and Sam were very happy. They were going on a tour with their mom and dad. They wanted to see many things. They got on a big bus with other people. The bus had a loud voice that told them about the places they passed. + +"Look, Lily, that is a big park!" Sam said. He pointed to a green place with many trees and flowers. "Can we play there later?" + +"Maybe, Sam, but first we have to see more things," Lily said. She gazed at the park. She liked the colors and the birds. She wanted to smell the flowers. + +The bus stopped at a big building. It had many windows and doors. The loud voice said it was a museum. The people got off the bus. They followed a man who had a badge. He was the guide. He showed them many things inside the museum. + +"Be careful, Lily and Sam," their mom said. "Don't touch anything. Just look with your eyes." + +Lily and Sam nodded. They were careful. They looked at many things. They saw paintings and statues and bones and rocks. They learned many things. They asked many questions. + +"Wow, this is a dinosaur!" Sam said. He gazed at a big skeleton. It had sharp teeth and claws. "It was very big and strong. Did it eat people?" + +"No, Sam, it did not eat people," the guide said. "It lived a long time ago, before people. It ate other animals. It was a carnivore." + +"What is a carnivore?" Lily asked. + +"A carnivore is an animal that eats meat," the guide said. "Like a lion or a wolf. Do you know what is the opposite of a carnivore?" + +Lily and Sam thought for a moment. Then they said together, "A herbivore!" + +"Very good, Lily and Sam!" the guide said. "A herbivore is an animal that eats plants. Like a cow or a rabbit. Do you want to see some herbivore dinosaurs?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Sam said. They followed the guide to another room. They saw more skeletons. They were smaller and gentler. They had horns and plates and spikes. + +Lily and Sam gazed at the herbivore dinosaurs. They liked them too. They were happy. They enjoyed the tour. They learned many things. They had fun. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big road with many cars and trucks. They wanted to cross the road and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Sam, let's go!" Tim said. + +"No, Tim, we can't. Mom said the road is dangerous. We have to stay here," Sam said. + +But Tim did not listen to Sam. He ran to the road and waited for a gap. He saw a small space between two cars and dashed across. Sam was scared and shouted, "Tim, stop! Come back!" + +Tim made it to the other side, but he did not see a big truck coming from behind. The truck hit Tim and he fell to the ground. He did not move or make a sound. He was dead. + +Sam cried and ran to Tim. He hugged him and said, "Tim, Tim, please wake up! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" + +But Tim did not wake up. He was gone forever. + +A man who saw what happened called the police and an ambulance. They came and took Tim away. They also talked to Sam and asked him what happened. Sam told them the truth. He said he was sorry and he wished he had stopped Tim. + +The man who called the police said, "I'm sorry, too, Sam. You did the right thing by staying here. But Tim did not listen to you or your mom. He was not careful and he paid a big price. You have to remember this, Sam. Always be careful and listen to your mom. The road is not a place to play. It is a place to be safe." + +Sam nodded and said, "I will, I will. Thank you, sir." + +The man hugged Sam and said, "You're welcome, Sam. I hope you will be okay. You have a good heart. Tim loved you and he would want you to be happy." + +Sam smiled a little and said, "I love Tim, too. And I love you, sir. And I love mom. I will be careful and listen to mom. I will be happy for Tim." + +The man smiled back and said, "That's good, Sam. That's very good. You are a brave and smart boy. I'm proud of you." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of being careful and listening to your parents. It also shows the consequences of being reckless and disobedient. It also shows the importance of love and forgiveness. +Tom and Amy were hungry. They wanted to eat spaghetti for lunch. Mom cooked spaghetti in a big pot. She put sauce and cheese on it. It smelled good. + +"Spaghetti is ready!" Mom called. Tom and Amy ran to the kitchen. They saw the big pot on the table. They wanted to grab some spaghetti. But they were not careful. They bumped into the table. The pot fell down. The spaghetti spilled on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Mom said. "You destroyed the spaghetti!" She was not happy. She looked at the mess. Tom and Amy felt bad. They said sorry to Mom. + +"It's okay," Mom said. "We can clean it up. But next time, be more modest. Don't take too much spaghetti. And wait for me to serve you." She gave them a hug. + +Tom and Amy helped Mom clean the floor. They learned their lesson. They ate some bread and cheese instead. They still liked spaghetti. But they would be more modest next time. +Tom is a big boy. He likes to go to school on the bus. He has a backpack with his books and his lunch. He waits for the bus with his mom every morning. + +One day, Tom is very excited. He sees a big poster on the bus stop. It has a picture of a famous dog. The dog can do tricks and talk. Tom loves the dog. He wants to see the dog on TV. + +Tom runs to the bus stop. He wants to look at the poster more. But he does not see a rock on the ground. He stumbles on the rock and falls down. He hurts his knee and his backpack. He cries. + +Mom runs to Tom. She hugs him and says, "It's OK, Tom. You are brave. Let me see your knee." She puts a band-aid on his knee and fixes his backpack. She says, "The bus is coming. Let's go to school. Maybe you can see the dog on TV later." + +Tom smiles. He says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. I love the dog too." He gets on the bus with Mom. He waves to the poster. He hopes the dog is happy. He hopes he can see the dog soon. +Lily and Tom were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and make noise. They saw a shiny thing on the grass. It was a coin. Lily picked it up and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, I found a shiny thing!" Lily said. + +"Wow, Lily, it is very shiny. Can I see it?" Tom asked. + +Lily gave the coin to Tom. He looked at it and smiled. He liked shiny things. He put it in his pocket. + +"Let's go and find more shiny things!" Tom said. + +They ran around the yard, looking for shiny things. They did not see the big dog that was watching them. The dog did not like children. He did not like noise. He did not like shiny things. He was angry and hungry. He growled and barked. + +Lily and Tom heard the dog. They were scared. They tried to run away. But the dog was faster. He chased them and bit them. He took the coin from Tom's pocket. He ate it. He was happy. + +Lily and Tom were hurt and sad. They cried and cried. They wanted their mom and dad. But their mom and dad were not home. They were at work. They did not know what happened. They would be very worried when they came back. The end. +Tom and Mia were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +But then they saw a big bear. The bear was hungry and cold. He saw the snowman and thought it was food. He ran to the snowman and tried to bite his nose. But the nose was hard and cold. The bear did not like it. + +Tom and Mia were scared. They shouted at the bear. "Go away, bear! That is our snowman! You cannot eat him!" But the bear was stubborn. He did not listen. He roared at Tom and Mia. He wanted the snowman. + +Tom and Mia did not know what to do. They looked around and saw a big pile of ice. They had an idea. They picked up some ice and threw it at the bear. The ice was cold and sharp. It hit the bear on his nose and his ears. The bear did not like it. + +The bear was angry and hurt. He roared again. But he did not want the snowman anymore. He wanted to go away. He ran back to the woods. He left Tom and Mia and their snowman alone. + +Tom and Mia were happy. They hugged their snowman. They thanked the ice for helping them. They went back to their house. They told their mom and dad what happened. They were very brave. +Lily and Sam were very excited to see the fireworks. They wore warm hats and gloves and followed Mom and Dad to the park. There were many people and noises and lights. + +"Look, Lily, a firework!" Sam pointed at the sky. A bright star exploded into many colors. Lily clapped her hands and smiled. + +"Wow, so pretty!" she said. + +"Do you want some popcorn?" Mom offered. She had a big bag of popcorn that smelled good. Lily and Sam nodded and took some popcorn. They munched and watched the fireworks. + +"Be careful, don't drop the popcorn," Dad warned. "It's delicate and can break easily." + +"I know, Dad," Sam said. He held the popcorn tightly in his hand. + +Suddenly, a loud bang made them jump. A firework had gone wrong and landed on the ground. It made sparks and smoke and fire. + +"Uh-oh, that's bad," Lily said. + +"Stay away from the firework, it's dangerous," Mom said. She held Lily and Sam close to her. Dad moved them away from the firework. + +"Don't worry, the firemen are coming," he said. He pointed at the red truck with the siren. The firemen got out and sprayed water on the firework. They put out the fire and made sure everyone was safe. + +"Thank you, firemen," Lily and Sam said. + +"You're welcome, kids," one of the firemen said. He gave them a sticker of a firework. "Here, this is a safe firework. You can stick it on your hat or glove." + +"Thank you, fireman," Lily and Sam said. They stuck the sticker on their hat and glove. They looked at each other and smiled. + +They still liked fireworks, but they liked the firemen more. +Lila and Tom are playing with cars in the garden. They have a big box of cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving fast. + +"Look at my red car, it is the fastest!" Tom says, zooming his car on the grass. + +"My blue car is faster, and prettier!" Lila says, chasing Tom's car with hers. + +They play for a while, until they see a big bottle of oil on the table. It belongs to Dad, who uses it to fix his bike. They are curious about the oil, and want to touch it. + +"Let's see what the oil does!" Tom says, grabbing the bottle. + +"No, Tom, we can't touch that! It is not for playing, it is for Dad!" Lila says, trying to stop him. + +But Tom ignores Lila, and opens the bottle. He pours some oil on his car, and smiles. + +"Wow, look how shiny it is!" he says, admiring his car. + +He pours some more oil on the grass, and makes a big mess. + +"Stop it, Tom, you are making a mess! And the oil is bad for the grass and the bugs!" Lila says, getting angry. + +But Tom ignores Lila, and pours some more oil on Lila's car. + +"Hey, don't do that! You are ruining my car!" Lila says, crying. + +She grabs her car, and tries to wipe off the oil. But the oil is sticky and smelly, and it does not come off. + +She runs to the house, looking for Mom. She wants Mom to help her clean her car, and to tell Tom to stop being naughty. + +Mom is in the kitchen, making a cake. She sees Lila coming in, with tears in her eyes and oil on her hands. + +"What happened, Lila?" Mom asks, with a gentle voice. + +"Tom poured oil on my car, and on the grass, and he ignored me when I told him to stop!" Lila says, sobbing. + +Mom hugs Lila, and takes her to the sink. She washes Lila's hands, and her car, with soap and water. She tells Lila that she is sorry, and that she will talk to Tom. + +She takes Lila to the living room, and gives her a slice of cake. She tells Lila that she loves her, and that she is proud of her for being a good girl. + +Lila feels better, and smiles. She thanks Mom, and eats her cake.

"Hold on tight and have fun!" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She set her feet on the slide and pushed herself down. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughed and screamed as she slid down. She reached the bottom and jumped off. She felt very proud and brave. + +"That was so fun, mom!" she said. "Can I do it again?" + +"Of course, Lily!" her mom said. "You did great! But first, let's have a snack. I brought some cookies and juice for you." + +"Yay, cookies and juice!" Lily said. "Thank you, mom!" + +She ran to her mom and hugged her. They sat on a bench and shared the cookies and juice. Lily told her mom about the slide and how much she liked it. Her mom listened and smiled. They had a wonderful time at the park. +Sara loved to dance. She danced every day in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She wanted to be a dancer when she grew up. She had a pink dress and a pink hat that she wore when she danced. + +One day, she saw a poster for a dance show. It said, "Come and see the best dancers in the world! They will fill your eyes with wonder and your heart with joy!" Sara wanted to go to the show. She asked her mom, "Can we go to the show, please?" + +Her mom said, "No, Sara, we can't. The show is too expensive and too far away. We don't have enough money or time to go there. Maybe another day." + +Sara was sad. She cried and begged her mom to change her mind. She was persistent. She said, "Please, please, please, mom, I want to see the dancers. They are my dream. I will be good and do all my chores. Please, mom, please." + +Her mom said, "Sara, stop it. You are being naughty and rude. You have to accept no for an answer. You can't always get what you want. Now go to your room and calm down." + +Sara was angry. She ran to her room and slammed the door. She threw her pink dress and hat on the floor. She said, "I hate you, mom. You are mean and cruel. You don't care about me or my dream. I will never dance again." + +She lay on her bed and cried. She felt empty and hopeless. She did not know that her mom was crying too. She did not know that her mom loved her and wanted her to be happy. She did not know that her mom had a surprise for her. She had bought tickets for the show and was planning to take her there as a reward for her good grades. But Sara did not know that. She only knew that her dream was broken. And she did not want to dance anymore. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big tent with many colors. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They walked to the tent and opened a flap. They saw many people and animals. They saw a man with a hat and a whip. He was making a lion jump through a hoop. They saw a lady with a dress and a hoop. She was spinning in the air. They saw a boy with a bike and a helmet. He was riding on one wheel. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Lily said. "What is this place?" + +Tom shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe it is a circus." + +They heard a loud voice. It was the man with the whip. He saw Lily and Tom. He was angry. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing here? This is not for kids. This is for adults. Get out of here, now!" + +He grabbed his whip and cracked it in the air. It made a loud noise. Lily and Tom were scared. They ran out of the tent. They did not look back. + +They found their mom and dad. They told them what they saw. Their mom and dad were surprised. + +"A circus? In the park? That is unknown. We did not know there was a circus here. How did you find it?" + +Lily and Tom pointed to the tent. But when they looked, the tent was gone. There was only grass and trees. They did not see the people or the animals or the bikes. + +They wondered where the circus went. They wondered if it was real. They wondered if they would ever see it again. +Sara was a lovely girl who liked to speak a lot. She had many questions about the world and wanted to learn new things. She liked to read books, play games and draw pictures with her friends. + +One day, Sara's mom told her that they were going to visit her dad at his work. Sara was very excited, because she had never seen her dad's work before. She asked her mom, "Where does dad work, mom?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Dad works at a university, Sara. A university is a big place where people go to study and teach many things. Dad is a teacher there, and he helps other people learn about animals and plants." + +Sara was amazed and curious. She wanted to see the animals and plants that her dad taught about. She said, "Can I see them, mom? Can I see the animals and plants?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Yes, Sara, you can. Dad will show you some of them when we get there. But you have to be quiet and polite, because there are other people working and studying there too. Can you do that, Sara?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I can. I will be quiet and polite. I want to see dad's work and make him happy." + +They got in the car and drove to the university. Sara looked out the window and saw many big buildings, trees and flowers. She also saw some people walking and riding bikes. She wondered what they were doing and what they were learning. + +When they arrived, they met dad at the entrance. He hugged them and said, "Hello, my lovely family. I'm so happy to see you. Are you ready to see my work, Sara?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, dad, I am. I want to see the animals and plants that you teach about. Can you show me, dad?" + +Dad smiled and said, "Of course, Sara, I can. Come with me, and I'll show you some of them. But remember, you have to be quiet and polite, okay?" + +Sara said, "Okay, dad, I will. I love you, dad." + +Dad said, "I love you too, Sara. And I love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you both, dad and Sara. Let's go and have some fun." +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a big slide, a swing, and a seesaw.

They have a bucket, a shovel, and some molds. They start to make a castle with sand. + +"Look, Tom, I made a tower!" Lily says. She puts a star mold on top of the tower. + +"Wow, Lily, that's nice!" Tom says. He makes a wall around the castle. He uses a belt to make a pattern on the wall. + +"Look, Lily, I made a belt wall!" Tom says. He shows Lily the belt. + +"That's cool, Tom!" Lily says. She makes a door and a window on the wall. She uses a spoon to make a handle on the door. + +"Look, Tom, I made a door and a window!" Lily says. She opens and closes the door. + +"Let's go inside the castle!" Tom says. He and Lily crawl inside the castle. They pretend to be a king and a queen. + +"Hello, my king!" Lily says. She puts a flower on her head. + +"Hello, my queen!" Tom says. He puts a leaf on his chest. + +They laugh and have fun. They forget about Mom. + +Mom looks at them from the bench. She smiles. She is happy to see them play. She thinks they are very clever. She also thinks they are not lazy. She is proud of them. She puts down her book and joins them. She makes a crown with sand and puts it on her head. + +"Hello, my children!" Mom says. She hugs them. + +"Hello, Mom!" Lily and Tom say. They hug her back. + +They play together in the castle. They have a wonderful time. They love each other. They love the park. They love the sand. They love to make things. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with their scooters. They have different scooters. Lily's scooter is pink and has flowers. Max's scooter is blue and has stars. + +One day, they decide to have a race. They go to the park and find a long path. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and start to ride their scooters as fast as they can. They zoom past the trees and the swings and the slide. + +Lily is ahead of Max. She thinks she will win the race. But then she sees a big puddle. She does not want to get wet. She slows down and tries to go around the puddle. Max sees his chance. He is creative. He does not mind getting wet. He rides his scooter through the puddle and makes a big splash. He passes Lily and reaches the end of the path first. + +He shouts, "I win, I win!" and raises his arms. Lily is not happy. She says, "That's not fair, you cheated!" Max says, "No, I didn't, I was creative. You were scared of the puddle." Lily says, "I was not scared, I was careful. You were silly and messy." + +They start to argue. They forget to have fun. They do not smile or laugh. They do not look like friends. A dog comes by and sees them. The dog is friendly. He likes to play. He runs to them and licks their faces. He makes them giggle. He chases their scooters and barks. He makes them happy. They stop arguing. They say, "Sorry, let's be friends again." They hug and share their scooters. They ride together and have fun. They are creative and make a new game. They call it "scooter and dog". They are friends again. +Jill and Tom are players. They like to play with toys and games. But they do not like to share. They always fight and grab and yell. + +One day, they find a big pink ball in the park. They both want the ball. They run to the ball and pull it from each other. They do not behave. + +"Give me the ball!" Jill says. "No, it is mine!" Tom says. They do not listen to each other. They do not listen to their mom. She tells them to stop and be nice. + +But they do not stop. They keep pulling the ball. The ball is not strong. It pops. The air goes out. The ball is flat and sad. + +Jill and Tom are sad too. They have no ball to play with. They have no fun. They cry and say sorry. But it is too late. The ball is gone. They have to go home. They are not happy players. They are bad players. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They like to swing on the swings. They go up and down, up and down. They feel happy. + +"Look, Lily, there is a popcorn stand!" Ben says. He points to a cart with a big sign. The sign says "Popcorn". It smells good. + +"Let's go get some popcorn, Ben!" Lily says. She jumps off the swing. She runs to the cart. Ben follows her. + +"Hello, kids, do you want some popcorn?" the man at the cart says. He smiles. He has a big bowl of popcorn. The popcorn is white and fluffy. + +"Yes, please, we want some popcorn!" Lily and Ben say. They hold out their hands. The man gives them each a small bag of popcorn. + +"Here you go, kids, enjoy your popcorn. It is healthy and tasty. It has no salt and no butter. It is good for you." the man says. + +"Thank you, mister!" Lily and Ben say. They open their bags. They eat their popcorn. It is crunchy and sweet. They like it. + +They go back to the swings. They swing on the swings. They eat their popcorn. They feel happy. They share their popcorn with the birds. The birds feel happy too. +Lila and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a big box of clothes. They like to dress up as different people. Lila puts on a long dress and a hat. Tom puts on a coat and a tie. + +"Look at me, I am a queen!" Lila says. She holds a fake crown on her head. + +"Look at me, I am a doctor!" Tom says. He holds a fake stethoscope around his neck. + +They pretend to talk to each other as a queen and a doctor. They have fun. + +But then it starts to rain. The sky is dark and the water is cold. Lila and Tom run to the house. They do not want to get wet. + +"Wait, we have to carry the clothes!" Lila says. "We can not leave them outside. They will get dirty and ruined." + +"OK, let's carry them together!" Tom says. They each grab some clothes and put them in the box. The box is heavy and big. They have to use both hands. + +They carry the box to the house. They are careful not to drop it. They are strong and brave. + +They reach the door and go inside. They put the box in their room. They take off the wet clothes and put on dry ones. + +"Good job, we did it!" Lila says. She gives Tom a high five. + +"Good job, we did it!" Tom says. He gives Lila a hug. + +They smile and laugh. They are happy. They love to play with clothes. +Mia and Ben were playing in the kitchen while Mom was busy. They saw a big pot on the stove with steam coming out of it. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's examine the pot," Ben said. "Maybe there is something yummy." + +"No, Ben, we can't," Mia said. "Mom said not to touch the stove. It is hot and dangerous." + +But Ben did not listen. He climbed on a chair and reached for the pot. He lifted the lid and peeked inside. He saw some soup with carrots and potatoes. He wanted to taste it. + +"Ouch!" he cried. He burned his tongue and dropped the lid. The lid made a loud noise and the soup spilled on the floor. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and Ben's tears. She was angry and worried. + +"Ben, what did you do?" she asked. "You could have hurt yourself and Mia. You know you are not supposed to touch the stove." + +Ben felt guilty. He knew he did something bad. He looked at Mia, who was scared and sad. He looked at Mom, who was upset and disappointed. He wanted to say sorry, but he could not speak. + +Mom hugged Ben and Mia. She checked Ben's tongue and gave him some ice. She cleaned the floor and the pot. She was still angry, but she loved her children. + +"Ben, you have to be more careful and listen to me," she said. "The stove is not a toy. It is for cooking. You can examine the soup when it is ready and cool. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded. He felt sorry and ashamed. He hugged Mom and Mia. He whispered "sorry" with his sore tongue. Mom smiled and kissed him. + +"It's okay, Ben," she said. "I forgive you. But don't do it again, okay?" + +Ben and Mia said "okay". They learned their lesson. They waited for the soup to be ready and cool. They examined it with their eyes and noses. They tasted it with their spoons. They liked it. They thanked Mom. They were happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big bottle of juice on a bench. The juice is red and sweet. + +"Let's drink it!" Tom says. "It looks yummy!" + +"But we don't know whose juice it is," Lily says. "Maybe it is not for us." + +"Who cares?" Tom says. "It is ours now. It is mine!" + +He grabs the bottle and pours some juice into his mouth. He makes a funny face. + +"Yuck! This juice is not yummy! It is sour and bitter!" + +He spits out the juice and throws the bottle away. Lily looks at the bottle and sees a label. It says: "Beetroot and vinegar juice. Healthy and natural." + +"Oh no, Tom!" Lily says. "That juice is not for drinking! It is for salad!" + +Tom feels sick. His mouth hurts. His stomach hurts. He starts to cry. + +"Help! Help! I need water! I need a doctor!" + +Lily runs to find help. She is scared. She wishes they did not drink the juice. She wishes they listened to their moms. They always say: "Don't take things that are not yours." +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were farmers and had many animals. Lily had a toy cow and Ben had a toy horse. They made sounds like the animals and fed them grass and water. + +One day, Lily said, "I want to make butter from the cow's milk. Do you want to help me?" Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I like butter. It is yummy on bread and pancakes." They took a small bucket and a spoon and went to the cow. They pretended to milk the cow and fill the bucket. Then they shook the bucket hard and said, "Churn, churn, churn!" + +After a while, they saw some yellow stuff in the bucket. They were very happy and said, "We made butter! We are great farmers!" They took some bread and spread the butter on it. They tasted it and said, "Mmm, this is the best butter ever!" + +They decided to share their butter with their friends. They wrapped some butter in a cloth and put it in a basket. They took the horse and said, "We are going to deliver the butter to our friends. They will love it!" They rode the horse around the garden and stopped at each toy house. They knocked on the door and said, "Hello, we are Lily and Ben. We made some butter for you. Do you want some?" + +Their friends were very happy and said, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very kind and generous. We love your butter. It is great!" They took some butter and gave them a hug. Lily and Ben felt very proud and happy. They said, "You are welcome. We are glad you like our butter. We had fun making it." They waved goodbye and rode the horse to the next house. They delivered the butter to all their friends and had a wonderful day. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the snow in winter. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow angels. They wear warm hats and coats and boots and gloves. + +One day, they see a big hill of snow near their house. They want to slide down the hill. They find a big cardboard box and put it on the snow. They climb inside the box and hold hands. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, I am, Lily. Let's go!" Ben says. + +They push the box with their feet and start to slide down the hill. They go very fast and feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and scream with joy. + +But then, they see a big hole in the snow at the end of the hill. It is a frozen pond. The box goes over the edge and dives into the hole. Splash! + +Lily and Ben are very scared and cold. They swim to the edge of the hole and climb out. They are wet and shivering. They run to their house and knock on the door. + +Mom opens the door and sees them. She is very surprised and worried. + +"What happened to you, Lily and Ben?" Mom asks. + +"We slid down the hill and dived into the pond, Mom. It was not fun. It was scary and cold." Lily says. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We did not see the hole. We were silly." Ben says. + +Mom hugs them and takes them inside. She gives them warm towels and clothes and hot chocolate. She kisses them and tells them she loves them. + +"It's okay, Lily and Ben. I'm glad you are safe. Next time, be careful and look where you are going. And don't dive into the pond in winter. It's dangerous." Mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod and sip their hot chocolate. It is sweet and makes them feel better. They say thank you to Mom and cuddle with her on the couch. They are happy and warm. They learned a lesson. They will not dive into the pond in winter again. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a small table and two cups. They pretend to have tea. Anna pours water from a jug into the cups. Ben adds some leaves from a plant. + +"This is our tea," Anna says. "It is very good." + +"Yes, it is," Ben agrees. "But where did you get the leaves?" + +Anna points to the plant. "I found them there. They smell nice. They are mint." + +Ben looks at the plant. It has green leaves and purple flowers. He likes the smell too. He picks a flower and puts it in his cup. + +"Look, I have a pretty tea," he says. + +Anna smiles. She picks a flower too. She puts it in her cup. They clink their cups and sip their tea. + +Suddenly, Ben makes a face. He spits out the tea. He cries out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! My mouth hurts! This tea is bad!" + +Anna is scared. She drops her cup. She looks at Ben. His mouth is red and swollen. He holds his tongue. + +"What's wrong, Ben? What happened?" + +Ben points to the plant. "That plant is bad! It made my mouth hurt! It is not mint! It is something else!" + +Anna looks at the plant again. She sees a sign next to it. It has a picture of a skull and crossbones. It has some words. She cannot read them. She thinks they mean danger. + +"Oh no, Ben! We made a mistake! That plant is not for tea! It is poison! We have to tell Mommy!" + +She grabs Ben's hand. They run to the house. They call for Mommy. Mommy comes out. She sees their mouths. She is worried. She takes them inside. She gives them some milk. She calls the doctor. + +The doctor comes. He checks their mouths. He gives them some medicine. He says they will be okay. He says they were lucky. He says they should not eat or drink anything from the garden without asking Mommy first. + +Anna and Ben nod. They are sorry. They hug Mommy. They say they love her. They say they will not do it again. + +Mommy hugs them back. She says she loves them too. She says she is glad they are okay. She says they learned a lesson. + +She says they will grow up to be smart and careful. She says they can have some real tea later. She says she will make it with honey and lemon. She says it will make their mouths feel better. She says it will be very good. +Lily liked to play in the garden with her dog, Spot. She liked to touch the flowers and the grass and the bugs. But she did not like to touch the big patch of dirt in the corner. Mama said it was where the old tree used to be, before it fell down in a storm. Lily thought it was scary and dark and full of worms. + +One day, Spot ran away from Lily and went to the patch of dirt. He started to dig and bark and sniff. Lily was frightened. She wanted Spot to come back to her. She did not want him to touch the dirt. She ran after him and called his name. But Spot did not listen. He dug deeper and deeper. + +Suddenly, Spot stopped digging and yelped. He jumped back from the hole and ran to Lily. He was shaking and whimpering. Lily hugged him and tried to calm him down. She looked at the hole and saw something shiny and round. It was a metal can. It had a picture of a skull and crossbones on it. Lily did not know what it meant, but she felt a cold shiver. She knew it was bad. She knew Spot had found something dangerous. + +She ran to the house and told Mama what happened. Mama came to the garden and saw the can. She gasped and picked it up carefully. She said it was an old bomb from the war. She said it could have exploded and hurt Spot and Lily. She said they were very lucky. She said she would call the police and they would take it away. + +Lily was glad that Mama was there. She was glad that Spot was safe. She was glad that the bomb did not go off. She hugged Spot and Mama and said she loved them. She said she would never touch the patch of dirt again. +Lily liked to eat cake. She ate cake every day. She ate cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She ate cake with milk, juice and water. She ate cake with her fingers, a spoon and a fork. She ate cake with chocolate, cream and sprinkles. + +But Lily did not like to play. She did not play with her toys, her friends or her dog. She did not play in the park, the garden or the house. She did not play with balls, dolls or puzzles. She did not play with colours, sounds or shapes. + +One day, Lily looked at herself in the mirror. She saw that her waist was big. She saw that her clothes were tight. She saw that her face was round. She saw that she was not the same as before. She saw that she had gained a lot of weight. + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to be her original self. She wanted to be thin, fit and happy. She wanted to wear her favourite dress, run with her dog and laugh with her friends. She wanted to be healthy, strong and smart. + +So Lily decided to change. She decided to eat less cake and more fruits and vegetables. She decided to drink more water and less juice. She decided to eat with a plate, a glass and a napkin. She decided to eat with her family, her teacher and her doctor. + +And Lily decided to play more. She decided to play with her toys, her friends and her dog. She decided to play in the park, the garden and the house. She decided to play with balls, dolls and puzzles. She decided to play with colours, sounds and shapes. + +Soon, Lily saw a difference. She saw that her waist was small. She saw that her clothes were loose. She saw that her face was slim. She saw that she was the same as before. She saw that she had lost a lot of weight. + +Lily felt happy. She was her original self. She was thin, fit and happy. She wore her favourite dress, ran with her dog and laughed with her friends. She was healthy, strong and smart. + +Lily liked to eat cake. But she liked to play more. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big pile of colorful leaves. They wanted to jump in it and make a mess. + +"Let's go to the leaves!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves in the air. They had fun. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a man with a big machine. He was blowing the leaves away. He was making a wreck of their pile. + +"Hey, stop!" Lily shouted. + +"Go away, kids!" the man said. "This is my job. I have to clean the park." + +"But we were playing!" Ben said. + +"I don't care. You are in my way. Move or I will blow you away too!" the man said. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not like the man. They did not like his machine. They did not like his noise. They ran away from the leaves. They ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom!" Lily said. "There is a mean man in the park. He is wrecking our leaves. He is making a lot of noise. He is not nice." + +"Mom, mom!" Ben said. "He said he will blow us away. He is scary. He is rude. He is bad." + +Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. He is just doing his work. He has to clear the leaves for the winter. He is not mean. He is just busy. Maybe he is tired. Maybe he is sad. Maybe he needs a friend." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for the man. They thought maybe he did need a friend. They decided to be brave and kind. They ran back to the leaves. They picked up some colorful ones. They ran to the man. They gave him the leaves. + +"Here, mister," Lily said. "These are for you. They are pretty. They are colorful. They are a gift." + +"Thank you, kids," the man said. He smiled. He looked surprised. He looked happy. He turned off his machine. He said, "You are very sweet. You are very nice. You are my friends." + +Lily and Ben smiled too. They felt good. They made a new friend. They ran back to their mom. They told her what they did. Mom was proud of them. She said, "You are very brave. You are very kind. You are my loves." +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play outside and make things. One day, they saw a big box near their house. It was a new mailbox for their street. Lily had an idea. + +"Let's decorate the mailbox!" she said. "We can use stickers and crayons and make it pretty." + +Max nodded. He liked to decorate things too. They ran to get their art supplies and started to work on the mailbox. They put flowers and stars and hearts on it. They wrote their names and drew their faces. + +They were having fun until a big boy came by. He was older and mean. He saw the mailbox and laughed. + +"What are you doing?" he said. "You are ruining the mailbox. It looks silly. You are silly." + +He grabbed the crayons and stickers from Lily and Max. He threw them on the ground. He tried to wipe off their drawings. + +Lily and Max were sad and scared. They wanted to stop the big boy, but he was bigger and stronger. They did not know what to do. + +Then, they heard a voice. It was their neighbor, Mrs. Lee. She was old and kind. She saw what was happening and came over. + +"Hey, you!" she said. "Leave those kids alone. They are decorating the mailbox. They are brave and creative. You are rude and mean." + +She took the crayons and stickers from the big boy. She gave them back to Lily and Max. She told the big boy to go away. + +The big boy was surprised and ashamed. He ran away. He did not bother Lily and Max again. + +Lily and Max smiled and hugged Mrs. Lee. They thanked her for helping them. They finished decorating the mailbox. It looked beautiful. They were proud of their work. + +They showed their parents and their friends. Everyone liked the mailbox. They said it was the best mailbox ever. Lily and Max were happy. They were best friends. +Tom and Anna were twins. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. But they did not like to share their clothes. Tom liked to wear blue shirts and Anna liked to wear pink dresses. They always fought over who got to wear what. + +One day, it was their birthday. Their mom made them a big cake and gave them each a present. Tom opened his present and saw a blue shirt with a big button. He was very happy. He put on the shirt and said, "Look, mom, I have a button!" + +Anna opened her present and saw a pink dress with a big button. She was very happy. She put on the dress and said, "Look, mom, I have a button too!" + +But then, Tom saw Anna's button. He did not like it. He said, "That's my button! Give it to me!" + +Anna said, "No, it's my button! You have your own button!" + +They started to pull and tug on each other's buttons. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop. They did not care about their cake, who was waiting for them. They only cared about their buttons. + +Suddenly, their buttons popped off. They flew across the room and landed on the floor. Tom and Anna looked at their shirts and dresses. They had holes in them. They felt sad and sorry. They had ruined their birthday clothes. + +They looked at their mom. She was not angry. She was sad too. She said, "Tom and Anna, why did you fight over your buttons? They are just buttons. They are not important. What is important is that you love each other and celebrate your birthday together. You are twins. You are special. You should share and be kind to each other." + +Tom and Anna realized their mom was right. They felt ashamed and hugged their mom. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We love you. We love each other. We want to celebrate our birthday together." + +Their mom smiled and hugged them back. She said, "I love you too. It's okay. We can fix your clothes later. Now, let's go and enjoy your cake. Happy birthday, Tom and Anna!" + +Tom and Anna nodded and smiled. They took their mom's hand and went to the table. They saw their cake. It had two candles on it. One was blue and one was pink. They blew out their candles and made a wish. They wished to be good twins and never fight over buttons again. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was to make forts with their sheets. They would use chairs and pillows to hold up the sheets and pretend they were in a castle or a cave. + +One day, they found a big black sheet in the closet. They thought it would be perfect for their fort, because it was dark and scary. They took it to their room and started to build their fort. They used all the chairs and pillows they could find, and draped the black sheet over them. They made a door with a gap in the sheet, and crawled inside. + +"Wow, this is the best fort ever!" Lily said. "It's so big and cozy!" + +"Yeah, and no one can see us!" Tom said. "We can do whatever we want!" + +They played with their toys and read their books inside the fort. They had so much fun that they forgot about everything else. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not hear their dad coming home from work. They did not hear their dog barking outside. + +They only heard a loud noise when the fort collapsed on them. The chairs and pillows fell down, and the black sheet covered them. They could not see anything. They could not breathe. They were scared and cried for help. + +Their mom and dad heard their cries and ran to their room. They lifted the sheet and saw their twins. They were dirty and sweaty and scared. They hugged them and comforted them. + +"What happened here?" their mom asked. "Why did you use this black sheet?" + +"We wanted to make a big fort," Lily said. "But it was too heavy and it fell down." + +"We're sorry, mom," Tom said. "We didn't listen to you or dad. We were too busy playing." + +Their mom and dad smiled and kissed them. "It's okay, sweeties," their mom said. "We're glad you're safe. But you have to be careful with what you use to make forts. And you have to listen to us when we call you. We love you and we want you to be happy and healthy." + +"We love you too, mom and dad," Lily and Tom said. "We're sorry we made a mess. Can we help you clean it up?" + +"Of course you can," their dad said. "And then we can have some lunch and play together. How does that sound?" + +"Good!" Lily and Tom said. They got up and helped their mom and dad clean up the room. They learned their lesson. They never used the black sheet again. They still made forts with their sheets, but they used lighter and brighter colors. And they always listened to their mom and dad. They were happy and smart twins. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and sing together. One day, they find a big whip in the barn. It is shiny and long. Lily wants to try it. She says, "Can I have the whip, Ben? I want to make a loud sound." + +Ben says, "No, Lily. The whip is mine. I found it first. You can have something else." He holds the whip tight. He does not want to share. + +Lily is sad and angry. She says, "That is not fair, Ben. You are not generous. You are mean. You have to share with your friends." She tries to grab the whip from Ben. + +Ben and Lily pull the whip. They yell and cry. They do not sing anymore. They are not happy. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the barn. She sees Ben and Lily fighting. She says, "Stop, children. What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a whip? That is not a toy. That is dangerous. You can hurt yourself or someone else. Give me the whip, now." + +Ben and Lily let go of the whip. They are ashamed. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We were not nice to each other. We wanted the whip too much." + +Mom says, "It is okay to want things, but you have to be careful and respectful. The whip is not for you. It is for the horses. You can play with other things. How about you sing a song together? That is more fun and safe." + +Ben and Lily nod. They say, "Okay, Mom. We will sing a song. We are sorry. We are friends again." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That is good, children. I am proud of you. You are generous and kind. Now, let me hear your song." + +Ben and Lily hug. They sing a song. They are happy. +Lily and Max were playing in the bathroom. They liked to splash water and make bubbles. But they also saw a big bottle of soap on the shelf. It was green and shiny and had a mysterious picture on it. Lily wanted to touch it and see what it was. + +"Look, Max, what is that?" she asked, pointing at the bottle. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it is magic soap. Maybe it can make us fly or turn invisible," Max said, making up a story. + +"Wow, really? Let's try it!" Lily said, reaching for the bottle. + +"No, Lily, wait! Mom said we can't touch the soap. She said it is not for kids. She said it is very bad and can hurt us," Max said, trying to stop her. + +But Lily did not listen. She grabbed the bottle and opened it. She smelled it and it was very strong and bad. She felt dizzy and sick. She poured some soap on her hand and rubbed it on her face. It burned and stung and made her cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Max, help me! It hurts, it hurts!" she screamed. + +Max was scared and ran to get Mom. Mom came and saw Lily crying and covered in soap. She was very angry and worried. She took Lily to the sink and washed her face with water. She called the doctor and said they had to go to the hospital. + +Lily and Max learned a hard lesson. They should never touch the soap that is not for kids. They should always listen to Mom. They should not be curious about mysterious things. They should be careful and safe. +Sara and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and make castles. They had a bucket and a spade each. Sara had a red spade and Ben had a blue spade. + +"Look, Sara, I made a big castle with a moat and a bridge!" Ben said, showing his sand castle to his sister. + +"That's nice, Ben, but mine is nicer!" Sara said, pointing to her sand castle with a tower and a flag. "See, I used my red spade to make the flag!" + +They played for a long time, until Mom called them for lunch. They ran to the picnic blanket and ate sandwiches and juice. They were very hungry and happy. + +After lunch, they wanted to play some more, but they could not find their spades. They looked everywhere, but they were gone. + +"Where are our spades, Mom?" Sara asked, feeling sad. + +"I don't know, sweetie, maybe you forgot them in the sand," Mom said, looking around. + +"Maybe someone took them," Ben said, feeling angry. + +"Maybe they are buried under the sand," Sara said, feeling hopeful. + +They went back to the sand and dug with their hands, but they could not find their spades. They felt very sad and mad. + +Then they saw a little girl and a little boy playing with their spades. They had made a big sand castle with a moat and a bridge and a tower and a flag. + +"Hey, those are our spades!" Sara shouted, running to them. + +"No, they are ours!" the little girl shouted back, holding the red spade. + +"No, they are ours!" the little boy shouted back, holding the blue spade. + +They started to argue and fight over the spades. They pulled and pushed and yelled. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw the four children fighting over the spades. + +"Stop, stop, what are you doing?" Mom asked, separating them. + +"They took our spades!" Sara and Ben said. + +"No, they are our spades!" the little girl and the little boy said. + +Mom and Dad looked at the spades and saw that they had names on them. Sara's spade had "Sara" written on it, and Ben's spade had "Ben" written on it. + +"Look, these spades have names on them. They belong to Sara and Ben. You must have found them in the sand and thought they were yours," Mom said to the little girl and the little boy. + +The little girl and the little boy looked at the spades and saw the names. They felt sorry and ashamed. + +"We are sorry, we did not see the names. We thought they were ours. We like them very much. They are nice spades," the little girl said. + +"We are sorry, too. We did not mean to take them. We like them very much. They are nice spades," the little boy said. + +They gave the spades back to Sara and Ben. Sara and Ben took the spades and smiled. + +"Thank you for giving them back. We are sorry for yelling at you. We like your sand castle. It is very nice," Sara said. + +"Thank you for giving them back. We are sorry for fighting with you. We like your sand castle. It is very nice," Ben said. + +They decided to be friends and play together. They shared their spades and buckets and made a bigger and nicer sand castle. They had fun and were happy. + +Mom and Dad were glad that they made up and got along. They watched them play and smiled. They had a nice day at the beach. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with beans. They have many beans of different colors. They make pictures with beans on the floor. + +One day, they play with beans in Lily's room. They are having fun. They make a flower, a sun, and a bird with beans. They talk to each other. + +"Look, Ben, I made a flower with red and yellow beans. Do you like it?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, Lily, it is very pretty. I made a sun with orange and yellow beans. It is bright and warm. Do you like it?" Ben answers. + +"Yes, Ben, it is very nice. I made a bird with blue and green beans. It can fly and sing. Do you like it?" Lily says. + +"Yes, Lily, it is very cute. I like all your pictures. You are good at playing with beans." Ben says. + +They smile and hug. They are happy. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is Lily's mom. She is coming to the room. She is angry. She sees the beans on the floor. She does not like the mess. + +"Lily, Ben, what are you doing? Why are there beans everywhere? You are not supposed to play with beans. They are for eating, not for playing. You are wasting food. You are making a mess. You are in trouble." She says. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They are worried. They did not know they were doing something bad. They thought they were playing nicely. They do not want to make Lily's mom angry. They do not want to be in trouble. + +They look at each other. They do not know what to say. They are sorry. They are sad. They wish they could keep playing with beans. They wish they could make Lily's mom happy. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a wide path. They can run and ride their bikes on the path. + +One day, Sara and Tom go to the park with their moms. They bring their bikes and helmets. They say hello to the ducks and the flowers. They see other kids playing on the swings and the slide. + +"Can we ride our bikes on the path?" Sara asks her mom. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful and stay close to us," her mom says. + +"OK, mom, thank you!" Sara says. She puts on her helmet and gets on her bike. + +"Me too, me too!" Tom says. He puts on his helmet and gets on his bike. + +Sara and Tom ride their bikes on the path. They go fast and slow. They go left and right. They have fun. + +"Look, Sara, I can ride with one hand!" Tom says. + +"Wow, Tom, you are good!" Sara says. + +They ride and ride until they are tired. They stop and drink some water. They smile and hug. + +"We love the park and the path!" they say. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a soft teddy bear and Ben had a rough dinosaur. They made noises and pretended that the toys were talking to each other. + +"Roar! I am a big dinosaur and I will eat you!" Ben said, making his dinosaur bite Sara's teddy bear. + +"No, no, please don't eat me! I am a nice teddy bear and I want to be your friend!" Sara said, making her teddy bear hug Ben's dinosaur. + +Ben laughed and said, "OK, OK, you can be my friend. But you have to share your toys with me." + +Sara nodded and said, "OK, I will share my toys with you. But you have to be gentle with them." + +They agreed and continued to play happily. But then, Sara noticed something strange. Her teddy bear was missing an ear. She looked around and saw that Ben's dinosaur had it in his mouth. + +"Hey, give me back my teddy bear's ear!" Sara cried, grabbing the dinosaur. + +"No, it's mine now! I like it, it's soft and yummy!" Ben said, holding the dinosaur. + +They started to pull and tug at the dinosaur, trying to get the ear back. But then, something happened. The ear disappeared from the dinosaur's mouth. It was gone. + +"Where did it go?" Sara asked, looking at the dinosaur. + +"I don't know, it just disappeared!" Ben said, looking at his mouth. + +They searched the floor, the couch, the table, but they could not find the ear. They were sad and confused. + +"Maybe the dinosaur ate it," Sara said, frowning. + +"Maybe the teddy bear took it back," Ben said, shrugging. + +They did not know what to do. They decided to hug their toys and say sorry to each other. + +"I'm sorry I took your teddy bear's ear," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry I yelled at you," Sara said. + +They smiled and said, "We are still friends." + +They did not know that the ear was hiding under the rug. It was waiting for them to go to bed. Then, it would sneak out and find its way back to the teddy bear. It was a magic ear. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to walk to school with their mom. But today, they are late. Mom is not happy. + +"Come on, Anna and Ben, hurry up!" Mom says. "We have to walk fast or you will miss your class." + +Anna and Ben try to walk fast, but they are tired. They see a big dog on the street. It is brown and fluffy. They want to pet the dog. + +"Can we pet the dog, Mom?" Anna asks. + +"No, we can't, Anna," Mom says. "We don't have time. The dog might bite you. And we don't know the owner." + +"But the dog is cute, Mom," Ben says. "He looks friendly. He is wagging his tail." + +"No, Ben, we can't," Mom says. "We have to walk faster. If you are late, your teacher will give you a lecture. A lecture is when someone talks to you for a long time and tells you what you did wrong. You don't want a lecture, do you?" + +Anna and Ben shake their heads. They don't want a lecture. They want to have fun in school. They walk faster with Mom. They leave the dog behind. They hope they are not too late. They don't like to walk slow. They like to walk fast. +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower. They put one block on top of another block, and another, and another. They were happy. + +But then, Max came. Max was not nice. He liked to break things. He saw Tom and Lily's tower and he smiled. He ran to the tower and pushed it. The blocks fell down. Crash! + +Tom and Lily were sad. They looked at their broken tower and cried. "Why did you do that?" Tom asked Max. "That was our tower. We worked hard to make it." + +Max did not care. He laughed. "I don't like towers. They are boring. I like to break things. It is fun." + +Tom and Lily did not think it was fun. They complained to their teacher. "Teacher, teacher, Max broke our tower. He is mean. He made us sad." + +The teacher heard them. She was not happy. She went to Max and said, "Max, that was not nice. You should not break other people's things. You should say sorry to Tom and Lily. And you should help them build a new tower." + +Max did not want to say sorry. He did not want to help. He pouted. He said, "No. I don't want to. I don't like towers. I don't like Tom and Lily." + +The teacher was not happy. She said, "Max, if you don't say sorry and help, you will have a time out. You will sit in the corner and think about what you did. You will not play with anyone." + +Max did not like that. He did not want a time out. He did not want to sit in the corner. He said, "Fine. I will say sorry and help. But I still don't like towers." + +Tom and Lily were still sad. But they were also glad. They said, "Thank you, teacher. Thank you, Max. We will build a new tower. Maybe you will like it too." + +They started to build a new tower. They put one block on top of another block, and another, and another. They were happy. Max helped them. He put some blocks too. He did not laugh. He did not break. He was quiet. + +Maybe he was a little sad too. +Lily wanted to buy a new dress for her birthday. She liked pink and purple and glitter. She saw a dress in the shop window that had all those things. She asked her mom to buy it for her. + +"Mom, can I have that dress? It is so pretty and shiny. I love it!" Lily said. + +Her mom looked at the dress. It was very big and long and had many ruffles and bows. It was not Lily's style at all. Her mom thought it was too old and fancy for her. + +"Lily, that dress is not for you. It is for grown-ups who go to parties. You are too little for that dress. It is not your style. You have a different style that is cute and fun and colorful. Let's find another dress that you like and that fits you well." Her mom said. + +Lily was sad. She really wanted that dress. She thought it was the most beautiful dress in the world. She did not understand why her mom did not like it. She did not want another dress. She pouted and cried. + +"Mom, please, please, please, can I have that dress? I want it so much. It is my birthday. Please, mom, please!" Lily begged. + +Her mom sighed. She did not want to make Lily unhappy on her birthday. She wanted to make her smile and feel special. She decided to buy the dress for Lily, even though she did not like it. She hoped Lily would change her mind later and wear something else. + +"Okay, Lily, okay. You can have that dress. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will try on some other dresses too. Maybe you will find one that you like more. And you have to promise me that you will not be embarrassed if people look at you funny when you wear that dress. Because it is very different from what other kids wear. Do you promise?" Her mom said. + +Lily nodded. She was so happy. She did not care what other people thought. She loved that dress. She hugged her mom and thanked her. She ran to the shop and asked the lady to give her the dress. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt like a princess. She did not notice that the dress was too big and long and that she tripped over it when she walked. She did not notice that the lady and her mom looked at her with pity and amusement. She did not notice that other kids stared at her and whispered and giggled. She only noticed how pretty and shiny she was. She was the happiest girl in the world. +Tom is a doctor. He likes to help people who are sick or hurt. He works in a big house with many rooms and beds. He wears a white coat and a mask. + +One day, Tom has a new patient. Her name is Lily. She is a little girl with curly hair and a pink dress. She has a boo-boo on her knee. She fell down when she was playing in the park. She is very brave, but she also feels sad and scared. + +Tom smiles at Lily and says hello. He tells her he will take care of her boo-boo. He takes a soft cloth and some water and cleans her knee. He takes a band-aid and puts it on her knee. He takes a sticker and gives it to her. It has a cute picture of a cat on it. + +Lily smiles and says thank you. She likes Tom and his sticker. She feels better and happier. She gives Tom a hug and says he is a good doctor. Tom hugs her back and says she is a good patient. He tells her to be careful and have fun. He waves goodbye and goes to help other people. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. One day, they go to visit their grandma, who lives in a big house. Grandma is elderly. She has white hair and glasses. She smiles when she sees Anna and Ben. + +"Hello, my dears. I'm so happy to see you. Come and give me a hug," Grandma says. + +Anna and Ben run to hug Grandma. They love her very much. They notice that Grandma walks slowly and uses a stick. + +"Grandma, why do you use a stick?" Anna asks. + +"Because my body is old and sometimes it hurts. The stick helps me to walk and balance," Grandma explains. + +"Does it hurt a lot?" Ben asks. + +"Sometimes it does, but not always. I take some medicine to make it better. And I have you and your parents and Spot to make me happy," Grandma says. + +Anna and Ben understand. They feel sorry for Grandma, but they also want to make her happy. They decide to play with her and Spot in the garden. They show her their toys and tell her stories. Grandma laughs and listens. She also tells them stories about when she was young. They have a lot of fun together. + +Anna and Ben are glad they have Grandma. They know she loves them and they love her. They hug her again and say goodbye. + +"Thank you for coming, my dears. You make my old body feel young and my heart feel warm. Come back soon," Grandma says. + +"We will, Grandma. We love you," Anna and Ben say. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big hill with grass and flowers. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +They hold hands and start to walk up the hill. They are happy and excited. They sing a song as they go. They reach the top of the hill and look around. They see a big lake with ducks and fish. They see a bridge with a troll. They see a castle with a princess. + +They are amazed and curious. They want to explore the land. They run down the hill and go to the lake. They feed the ducks and watch the fish. They go to the bridge and talk to the troll. He is not mean, he is humble. He lets them cross the bridge and gives them a riddle. They go to the castle and meet the princess. She is kind and pretty. She invites them to have tea and cake. + +They are having fun and making friends. They forget about the time. They do not see the sun go down. They do not see the moon come up. They do not see the stars appear. They do not hear their mom call their names. + +They are in a magic land. They do not want to leave. They want to stay forever. +Tom and his dad went to the store. They needed to buy some food and some gas for the car. Tom liked to go to the store with his dad. He could see many things and talk to many people. + +At the store, Tom saw a big balloon. It was red and shiny. It had gas inside. Tom wanted the balloon. He asked his dad, "Can I have the balloon, please?" + +Dad looked at the balloon. He smiled and said, "Sure, Tom. You can have the balloon. It is a great balloon. But you have to hold it tight. Do not let it go. The gas will make it fly away." + +Tom was happy. He said, "Thank you, dad. I will hold it tight. I love the balloon. It is a great balloon." He took the balloon from the man at the store. He held it with both hands. + +Dad and Tom bought some food and some gas. They put them in the car. Tom held the balloon in his lap. He looked at it and smiled. He was happy. He had a great balloon and a great dad. +Tommy was a naughty boy. He liked to take things that were not his. He took his sister's doll, his brother's car, and his mom's ring. He hid them under his bed and laughed. + +One day, his mom wanted to wear her ring. She could not find it. She asked Tommy if he saw it. Tommy said no. He lied. His mom was sad. She searched everywhere for her ring. She searched in the kitchen, in the living room, and in the bathroom. She could not find it. + +She went to Tommy's room. She saw a bump under his bed. She lifted the blanket and saw all the things that Tommy took. She was angry. She called Tommy and asked him why he took them. Tommy said he wanted them. He was selfish. + +His mom said, "You are a bad boy, Tommy. You made me and your sister and your brother unhappy. You were ignorant. You did not think about how they would feel. You need to learn to share and be honest. I will punish you. You will give back all the things you took and say sorry. You will also stay in your room for an hour. No TV, no toys, no snacks." + +Tommy cried. He did not like his punishment. He gave back all the things he took and said sorry. He went to his room and sat on his bed. He felt sorry for what he did. He learned his lesson. He decided to be a good boy from now on. He hoped his mom and his sister and his brother would forgive him. He loved them. He did not want to make them sad again. +Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to wash and polish the vegetables that mom would cook for dinner. She used a soft cloth and made the vegetables shiny and clean. + +One day, mom gave her a new vegetable to polish. It was round and orange and had a green stem on top. Anna had never seen it before. She asked mom, "What is this?" + +Mom smiled and said, "This is a pumpkin. It is a special vegetable that we use for Halloween. Do you know what Halloween is?" + +Anna shook her head. She was confused. She did not know what Halloween was. She only knew that it was a word that made her brother excited. He had a costume and a bucket and said he would get candy. + +Mom explained, "Halloween is a fun night when we dress up and go to our neighbors' houses. We say 'trick or treat' and they give us candy or other treats. We also carve the pumpkin and make a face on it. Then we put a light inside and it looks spooky." + +Anna thought that sounded strange and scary. She did not want to carve the pumpkin. She liked it the way it was. She said, "Can I just polish the pumpkin and keep it?" + +Mom laughed and hugged her. She said, "Of course you can, sweetie. You can polish the pumpkin and put it on the table. It will be our decoration. Maybe next year you will want to try Halloween. But for now, you can enjoy your pumpkin." + +Anna was happy. She polished the pumpkin until it was very shiny. She put it on the table and admired it. She thought it was the prettiest vegetable she had ever seen. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They wanted to fill the bucket with soil and make a castle. + +"Look, I found a worm!" Ben said, holding up the wiggly thing. + +"Yuck, put it back!" Sara said, making a face. + +"No, I want to keep it. It is my pet now," Ben said, putting the worm in his pocket. + +Sara did not like that. She thought worms were icky and naughty. She grabbed the shovel and hit Ben's pocket. + +"Ow! That hurt! Why did you do that?" Ben cried, rubbing his pocket. + +"I don't want you to have a worm. It is dirty and it will bite you," Sara said, trying to take the worm out. + +"Stop it! It is mine! Leave me alone!" Ben said, pushing Sara away. + +They both got angry and started to fight. They threw soil and leaves at each other. They made a big mess. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Mom said, coming out of the house. She saw the bucket on the ground, the soil everywhere, and the children covered in dirt. + +"We were making a castle, but Ben has a worm and he won't give it to me," Sara said, pointing at Ben. + +"She hit me with the shovel and tried to take my worm. It is my pet," Ben said, showing Mom the worm. + +Mom sighed. She was not happy. She took the worm from Ben and put it back in the soil. + +"Worms belong in the soil, not in your pocket. They help the plants grow. You should not hurt them or each other," Mom said. + +She made Sara and Ben say sorry to each other and to the worm. Then she took them inside to wash up. + +"Next time, play nicely and share your toys. And don't fill your pockets with soil or worms," Mom said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They felt bad for being naughty. They hugged each other and the worm. They hoped the worm would forgive them and make a nice castle in the soil. +Lily liked to fold paper. She learned how to make a bird, a boat, and a hat. She wanted to show her mom her paper things. She put them in a basket and went to the kitchen. + +"Mom, look what I made!" Lily said. She took out the bird and flapped its wings. "It can fly!" + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "That's very nice, honey. You are very good at folding paper." + +Lily took out the boat and the hat. She put the hat on her head and the boat on the table. "This is for you, Mom. You can wear the hat and play with the boat." + +Mom thanked Lily and put the hat on her head. She picked up the boat and pretended to sail it on the table. "This is a very fun boat, Lily. Thank you for making it for me." + +Lily was happy. She had one more thing in her basket. It was a paper heart. She folded it with her fingers. It was very important. She wanted to give it to someone special. + +She ran to the living room, where Dad was reading a book. She tapped his shoulder and said, "Dad, I have something for you." + +Dad looked up and saw Lily holding the paper heart. He smiled and opened his arms. "What is it, sweetie?" + +Lily gave him the paper heart and said, "This is for you, Dad. I love you very much." + +Dad hugged Lily and kissed her cheek. He put the paper heart on his chest. "I love you too, Lily. This is the best gift ever." +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a big bucket of water and some towels. They want to make a fort with the towels and the chairs. + +"Look, Mia, I have a big towel. It is blue and soft. We can put it on this chair and make a roof," Tom says. + +"OK, Tom, that is a good idea. I have a small towel. It is pink and wet. We can put it on this chair and make a wall," Mia says. + +They work hard and make a nice fort. They go inside and pretend to be pirates. They have fun and laugh. + +But then, a strong wind comes. It blows the towels away. The big towel falls on Tom's head. It is heavy and wet. Tom cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The towel hurts me! Help, Mia, help!" Tom says. + +Mia runs to Tom. She takes the towel off his head. She hugs him and says, "Don't cry, Tom, don't cry. It is just a towel. It is not a monster. You are brave and strong." + +Tom stops crying. He smiles and says, "Thank you, Mia, thank you. You are kind and sweet. You are my best friend." + +They hug and say sorry to the towels. They pick them up and dry them. They play something else. They are happy. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was brown and round and had white spots. + +"Look, a mushroom!" Lily said. "Can we eat it?" + +"No, no, no!" Max said. "Mushrooms can be bad. They can make you sick. We have to ask Mommy first." + +But Lily was curious. She wanted to taste the mushroom. She reached out her hand and touched it. It felt soft and wet. + +"Maybe just a little bite," she said. "It looks yummy." + +She opened her mouth and bit the mushroom. But it was not yummy. It was bitter and sour and made her tongue tingle. She spit it out and made a face. + +"Yuck! Yuck! Yuck!" she said. "This mushroom is icky!" + +Max laughed. He thought Lily was funny. He gave her a hug and a kiss. + +"Are you okay?" he asked. "Do you need some water?" + +Lily nodded. She was frustrated. She wanted to find something good to eat. She looked around and saw a red berry on a bush. + +"Look, a berry!" she said. "Can we eat it?" + +Max shook his head. He remembered what Mommy had told him. + +"No, no, no!" he said. "Berries can be bad too. They can have thorns or seeds or poison. We have to ask Mommy first." + +But Lily was stubborn. She wanted to taste the berry. She reached out her hand and plucked it. It was shiny and juicy and smelled sweet. + +"Maybe just a little bite," she said. "It looks yummy." + +She opened her mouth and bit the berry. But it was not yummy. It was spicy and hot and made her throat burn. She spit it out and cried. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" she said. "This berry is ouchy!" + +Max felt sorry for her. He gave her another hug and another kiss. + +"Are you okay?" he asked. "Do you need some milk?" + +Lily nodded. She was frustrated. She wanted to find something good to eat. She looked around and saw a cookie on a plate. + +"Look, a cookie!" she said. "Can we eat it?" + +Max smiled. He knew what Mommy had said. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" he said. "Cookies are good. They are sweet and crunchy and have chocolate. We can eat them. But we have to share." + +Lily smiled too. She was happy. She wanted to share with Max. She broke the cookie in half and gave him one piece. + +"Thank you," he said. + +"You're welcome," she said. + +They ate the cookie and enjoyed it. It was yummy. They gave each other a hug and a kiss. + +"Let's go find Mommy," Max said. + +"Okay," Lily said. + +They ran to the house and found Mommy. They told her what they had done. Mommy was not angry. She was glad they were safe and happy. She gave them a hug and a kiss. + +"I love you," she said. + +"We love you too," they said. +Sara was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play. She got out of her bed and went to the door. She opened it and saw the hall. She saw the kitchen. She saw Mom. + +Sara moved to the kitchen. She wanted to see what Mom was doing. Mom was making a cake. Sara liked cake. She wanted to help. She climbed on a chair and reached for a bowl. Mom saw her and said, "No, Sara, that is hot. You can get hurt. Go back to your room and nap." + +Sara was sad. She did not want to nap. She wanted to help. She moved the bowl anyway. The bowl was hot. It burned her hand. She dropped the bowl. The bowl broke. The cake mix spilled. Sara cried. Mom came and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Sara, you are hurt. Let me see your hand. It is red. I will put some ice on it. It will feel better soon." + +Mom took Sara to the couch. She put some ice on her hand. She gave her a kiss. She said, "Sara, I know you are restless. But you have to listen to me. I am trying to keep you safe. You can help me later. But now you need to rest. Do you want to read a book with me?" Sara nodded. She liked books. She snuggled with Mom and read a book. She felt sleepy. She closed her eyes. She napped. +Tim and Mia like to play with flags. They have many flags of different colors and shapes. They like to wave them and run with them in the park. + +One day, they see a big flag on a pole. It is red and white and blue. It has stars and stripes. Tim and Mia think it is a pretty flag. They want to touch it and play with it. + +They run to the pole and try to pull the flag down. But the flag is too high and too strong. They cannot reach it or move it. They pull harder and harder. They are careless. They do not see the man who is watching them. + +The man is angry. He likes the flag. He thinks it is a special flag. He does not want Tim and Mia to touch it or play with it. He yells at them. He says, "Stop! Leave the flag alone! It is not a toy!" + +Tim and Mia are scared. They hear the man yell. They see his face. He looks mean. They let go of the flag and run away.

They made animals and houses and cars with the clay. One day, they found a big piece of clay in the park. They both wanted to use it for their own creations. + +"I want to make a fierce lion with the clay!" Lily said. + +"No, I want to make a big truck with the clay!" Tom said. + +They started to quarrel over the clay. They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. They did not share or take turns. They made the clay dirty and messy. + +A lady who was walking her dog saw them quarreling. She came over and said, "What are you doing, children? Why are you fighting over the clay? Clay is for having fun, not for making trouble. You should be nice and kind to each other. Why don't you make something together with the clay?" + +Lily and Tom stopped quarreling. They felt ashamed and sorry. They said sorry to each other and to the lady. They decided to make something together with the clay.

Mom said from the kitchen. + +"Can we play a little more, please?" Lily asked. + +"Yeah, just a little more!" Tom agreed. + +Mom sighed. She knew they were hungry, but they also liked to play. She decided to let them delay a few minutes, but not too long. + +"Okay, but only five more minutes. Then you have to wash your hands and come to the table. And don't make a mess!" Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They continued to play, but they did not notice the time. They were having too much fun. They did not hear Mom calling them again and again. + +Mom got worried. She went to the living room to check on them. She was surprised by what she saw. Lily and Tom had taken all their toys and piled them up on the sofa. They had made a big fort out of blankets and pillows. They had also spilled some juice and crackers on the floor. + +"What are you doing, kids? This is a huge mess! And it's very smelly!" Mom said, not happy. + +Lily and Tom looked at Mom with guilty faces. They knew they had done something wrong. They had delayed too much and made Mom angry. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We were playing fort. We forgot about dinner." Lily said. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We were having fun. We didn't hear you." Tom said. + +Mom shook her head. She was not happy, but she also loved them.

What does that mean Mama?" Lucy asked. + +"Numbering paper means we are going to count how many pieces of paper we need." + +Lucy and Mama arrived at the store and looked at the shelves.

But the rock was too dull to respond. + +The boy was disappointed. He wiggled his nose and asked the rock why it wouldn't play with him. Still, the rock remained silent. + +The boy put down the rock, feeling sad that it wouldn't play. Just then, he heard his mother's voice calling him. She told him that friends don't have to be loud and excited, they can also be quiet and still provide good company. + +The boy understood the lesson, thanked his mother and went back to the rock.

The gem was in a big hole in the ground and Jane wanted to pick it up, but it was too deep! + +Jane started to cry because she thought she would never be able to have the gem. Suddenly, a kind, old lady walked up to her and said: "Don't cry, my dear. I can help you get the gem. Would you like me to help you?" + +Jane was so happy and she said, "Yes please!" The old lady got a big stick and used it to get the gem out of the hole. + +Jane held the gem in her hand and thanked the old lady for her help. The old lady said "You're welcome," and then smiled and walked away slowly. + +Jane was so happy to have found the gem. She took it home, and sat by the window to look at it every day. +The little girl was really anxious on Sunday. She knew that she was going to be punished for being naughty the day before. All morning she tried her best to be extra good and she even smiled at her mom like she had been taught to do. + +But then it happened. She had been sitting quietly in the corner of the room when she heard a loud crash. She had knocked over her mom's vase! The little girl knew she was in trouble. + +Her mom did not get angry. She calmly asked the little girl if she had knocked over the vase and the little girl nodded. The mom said that the punishment would be coming on Sunday and the little girl had to go to her room. + +On Sunday, the little girl felt as if the entire day dragged on. She was so anxious and she knew she had to face her punishment when the day was over. Finally, it was time. Her mom came over to her with a stern look in her eye and said that the punishment for knocking over the vase was 1 hour of extra chores the next day. + +The little girl was relieved. She knew that she had been very silly the day before, but now her mom understood and she wouldn't be in too much trouble. The little girl felt a lot better now that Sunday was over. +Once there was a little girl called Sarah. One day, Sarah and her mommy were walking on the beach. Suddenly, Sarah saw a big boat. It was covered in oil and it looked scary. + +Sarah asked her mom: "What is that boat, Mommy?" + +Mommy sighed. "That boat had an accident. All the oil spilled and now it is stuck on the beach." + +The next day, Sarah and her mommy went back to the beach. This time, the oil was gone. Sarah was happy to see the boat looking better and she spent the day investigating it. + +But one day, Sarah started feeling sick. Mommy took her to the hospital and the doctors told them that the oil from the boat was dangerous. They had to spend a lot of money on Sarah's treatment. + +Sarah and her mommy had a very bad ending. Sarah never forgot about the scary boat. +Mary went for a walk. She saw a muffin on the ground and couldn't believe it. She was so excited. She started to race to the muffin. When she got there, she was confused. She wondered why no one else was racing to the muffin. Then she heard a voice. It was a little grey mouse. "I was racing to the muffin first!" said the mouse. Mary laughed with surprise. She said "ok, you can have the muffin". Then she said goodbye to the little mouse and went on her way. She wasn't confused anymore. She laughed to herself as she went. +Rob heard the strange sound and looked around to see what it was. He noticed an ostrich walking down the street and thought it was funny. "That's a big bird!" Rob said aloud. He ran up to the ostrich and patted it on the head. + +Suddenly, a smell filled his nose; it was revolting, disgusting. It smelled like rotten eggs. Rob looked at the ostrich and noticed it had laid an egg on the sidewalk. He started to laugh, but then he heard a voice from behind him. + +"Hey, don't laugh at my ostrich," the voice said. Rob quickly turned around and saw an old man standing there. The old man was scowling at him. Rob felt uncomfortable, but knew he should apologize. + +He stammered, "I'm sorry, Sir, I didn't mean to laugh. It's just that the egg was so gross!" The old man knelt down and gently patted the ostrich, then he looked Rob in the eye. "It's okay, kid," he said gently. "I know that the smell was pretty terrible, but it was the ostrich just doing its job. + +Rob nodded and smiled, relieved that the old man wasn't mad at him anymore. Together they watched the ostrich walk away into the sunset. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Jenna. Jenna loved to explore and discover new things. One day, Jenna heard a snap come from the bushes near the park. + +When Jenna peeked into the bushes, she saw a hidden monkey! She was so excited that she wanted to show someone, so she ran to find her friend, Kate. + +When Jenna and Kate reached the bushes, Jenna said, "Look, it's a hidden monkey!" +Kate was surprised and said, "I can't believe it, why is he here?" + +The monkey then began to laugh and said, "I was just looking for a friend and thought this would be a good place to play!" Jenna and Kate smiled and started to play games with the monkey. They had so much fun that day and promised to meet the monkey again soon! +Once upon a time, there was a human. They lived far away, in a distant land. + +Suddenly, a small voice started speaking. It was a three-year-old child, asking questions. + +"Hello! Are you a human?" they said. + +The human smiled at the child, and nodded. + +"What do you do over here?" the child asked. + +"I do lots of things," the human replied. "I help people, explore nature and learn about the world." + +The child was amazed. They had never seen anything like this before. + +"Can I come with you?" they asked. + +The human nodded. They started walking together, exploring and discovering the distant world around them. +One day there was a furry little mouse who noticed a lump of mud that someone had pulled out of the ground. The mouse was curious and scuttled over. + +"What is this?" he squeaked. + +A friendly little mole popped out of the ground. + +"This is mud," the mole said. + +The mouse took one paw and touched the mud carefully. + +"What do I do with it?" he asked. + +The mole smiled. + +"Pull it this way and that and you'll see," he said. + +The mouse did as he was told and after a few minutes, he noticed something shining under the mud. + +"What is this?" he asked. + +The mole laughed. + +"That's gold!" he said. "You've found a buried treasure!" + +The mouse was so happy. His furry cheeks were full of joyful tears. + +And from that day forward, he was known as the Lucky Furry Mouse. +Once upon a time there was a rich ship full of special treasures. It sailed across the sea, sparkling in the sun. Suddenly, a big wave crashed into it. The ship splashed around in the water and the treasures were lost. Soon, the ship was gone and nothing was left. Everything was lost in the deep blue sea. +Once upon a time there was a boy named Graham. He didn't have much money, so he had to work hard. Every day he went to the coal mine to pray he would find something to help him make some money. One day, Graham was so excited when he found a big chunk of coal! He was ready to put it in his bag and take it home to sell. + +But just before he could take off with the coal, a group of mean wild animals appeared! They wanted the coal for themselves and wouldn't let Graham have it. They started growling and chasing the poor boy away. So Graham ran for his life, leaving the coal behind. + +He went back home feeling sad. He knew his only hope was to keep praying for luck. But sadly, no one ever found the coal and Graham never got the money he needed. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Janie. She was only three years old and very curious. One day, Janie decided to explore her backyard. She saw something that looked like a tunnel. It was dark and modern with a shiny surface. + +Janie wanted to go inside and see what was there. She crept closer, but she felt something pinch her leg. It was her mum! Janie's mum had come outside to check on her. + +"What are you doing, sweetheart?" her mum asked her. + +"I want to go inside the tunnel. Please can I go in?" Janie asked. + +"No, darling," Janie's mum said. "It's too dark and I don't want you to get hurt." + +Janie's mum showed her some of the other things in the garden that were modern and much safer for her to explore. Together, they looked for bugs, smelled the flowers and Janie even managed to pinch a few special leaves for her collection. + +Janie had a wonderful day exploring her backyard with her mum, and she will never forget the fun she had. +One cold morning, Timmy stepped outside for the first time. He was amazed to find a nice big rub in his garden. He was so excited, he ran up to it and touched the smooth surface. + +"What is this?" Timmy asked his mother in surprise. She smiled and said, "It's a surprise, Timmy. I wanted you to discover it yourself." + +Timmy was really happy, and he kept rubbing the cool surface every day. A week later, his mother told him his surprise was ready. When he came outside, Timmy found a shiny, new bicycle! + +He couldn't believe it. He hugged his mother and said, "Thank you for my surprise!" +Grandma was walking through the park and saw a little girl. Grandma saw that she had the most beautiful lips. She was wearing a pink sunhat, and her dress was full of rainbows. Grandma waved at the girl and called out, "Hello!" + +The little girl looked up and smiled.

One day, Bob and his friends decided to take a photo together. But suddenly, something embarrassing happened. + +Bob's best friend said, "Oh, Bob! Your shirt is open! Everyone can see your underpants!" + +Everyone around them started to laugh. Bob got very embarrassed. His face became red. "Why did you do that?" he said angrily. + +Bob's friend just smiled and said, "It was just a joke. I wanted to make everyone laugh!" + +Bob was very upset. He decided to go home. Bob's friends said, "We are really sorry! You should forgive us!" But Bob didn't listen. + +The moral of the story is to be careful not to hurt anyone's feelings by making fun of them. No matter how innocent your intentions are, you might still end up embarrassing someone. +Once upon a time there was a sun, and it dried a line of clothes on a clothesline outside. It was a bright day, and the clothes were drying in the sun. + +One day, when Mama came to get the clothes off the line, she noticed one of the shirts was missing. Mama saw a pile of dirt on the ground next to the line, and she knew right away something had happened to the shirt. + +Mama looked around the yard and she soon found a little boy playing with his toy truck in the dirt. The shirt was tucked in the truck, and the little boy had sand all over his face. He looked guilty! + +Mama asked him what he had done, and the little boy said, "I was playing and I accidentally took the shirt off the line. I'm sorry! Please don't be mad at me." + +Mama wasn't mad. She was just glad the little boy had come to her to tell the truth. She dried his tears and said, "I'm not mad, just make sure not to take any more clothes from the line." + +The little boy nodded his head and said, "I promise," and from that day, he always kept his promise. +Once upon a time, there was a fat mouse called Max. He saw a glove lying on the ground near a pile of leaves. He was excited because he thought it would be nice to have a warm winter glove. + +He quickly ran to get it but then saw another mouse had taken it. He was cross and spoke to the mouse. + +“Why did you take my glove?†he asked. + +The mouse looked at Max with his big eyes and said, “I sort it because it is so soft and warm.†+ +Max was angry since it was his glove and didn’t understand why the other mouse had taken it. “It’s not yours. Give it back!��€ he shouted. + +The mouse didn’t want to give it back and so they argued for a while. Eventually Max decided that it would be best to share the glove. They decided to take turns wearing it and Max was very happy to have a glove for the winter. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was very modest and wore simple clothes. One day, she was walking along the path and spotted something shiny in the grass. It was a sparkly jewel. + +The little girl was so happy! She eagerly picked up the jewel and took it home. When her mom saw it, she told the little girl to clean it properly. + +So the little girl ran upstairs and got a soft cloth. She carefully wiped away the dirt and grime on the jewel.

She wore it around her neck proudly, showing off her beautiful jewel! +Jack saw a mule in the field. He wanted to see it up close, so he waved his arms. The mule watched Jack carefully.

Jack was so excited he ran towards the mule. + +The mule said, "Where do you want to go?" + +Jack said, "I just wanted to say hello!" + +The mule smiled and waved his tail. Jack was so excited he waved back and said, "Let's go for a walk!" + +The mule waved his head up and down as if he was saying yes. So, Jack grabbed onto the mane and they started to walk. They stopped at a river and the mule stopped to take a drink. The water was cool and refreshing and made the mule feel more delicate. Jack was so happy to be riding his mule. He waved his arms in the air and the mule waved his tail. + +Jack and the mule enjoyed their walk together that day. They went on many other adventures too and had lots of fun. Whenever Jack said goodbye, the mule always waved his tail to say he'd miss him. +Once upon a time, there was a youth named Peter. Peter was very young and quite flexible.

I'll go talk to him!" + +He slowly walked over to the old man and timidly said hello. The old man was surprised but smiled and said, "Hello, young man."

He thanked Peter and said, "You are quite wise and flexible. You will have a good life, if you remember to always be kind to other people." + +Peter smiled and thanked the old man before heading off with his father. Peter had learned an important lesson that day - being kind to other people always makes us feel better. +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Max who loved to dance. +Max loved to feel the rhythm of the music as he moved from side to side and jumped up and down. One day, he was feeling a bit lonely, so he decided to look for someone who could help him dance. + +Max soon found a helpful bird who was also looking for some fun. +"Hello, birdy," Max said. "Would you like to help me dance with the music?" +The bird replied, "Oh yes, I would love to help you dance!" + +Max and the bird hopped around to the rhythm of the music, swaying their wings and twirling around. They had so much fun that they soon forgot they were ever feeling lonely. + +Max learned an important lesson that day - that it's much more fun playing with a friend than dancing all by himself. A helpful friend can make a big difference! +Once upon a time there was a small girl. She was very enthusiastic and loved her shoes. + +One day she was walking in the park with her mom and she came across a big puddle. She wanted to jump in it but her mom said "No, you'll get your shoes wet." + +The girl was sad and said "But I love my shoes!" + +Her mom smiled and said "It's okay, I love you too." + +Her mom took off her own shoes and jumped in the puddle with the girl. They laughed and splashed for a long time. + +When they were finished, the girl hugged her mom and thanked her with a smile. + +Her mom hugged her back and said "You can never go wrong when you do something from the heart." + +Since that day, the girl always wears her shoes with enthusiasm. +Once upon a time, there were two friends. One was very near and the other was very distant. Every day, the two friends hung out together and did fun things. + +One day, the two friends decided to build a toy fort. The two of them were very excited and started looking for things to use to build it. They found a box, a hammer and lots of tiny screws. + +It was hard to put all the screws in the right places. The two of them had to separate the screws, counting them out one by one. + +Finally, they finished building the fort. It looked beautiful and it was very sturdy, thanks to the tiny screws they had put in. + +The two friends celebrated by playing in their fort. They both knew that no matter how distant they ever became, they would always have the fort to bring them back together. +Once upon a time there were two little friends called Sam and Tom. Sam and Tom were best friends, they did everything together! + +One day Sam and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Sam quickly found a spot to hide while Tom counted to ten. While Tom was counting, Sam saw a little container nearby. He quickly opened it and found a fake reward inside. + +When Tom found Sam he said, "What do you have there?" Sam replied, "I found a fake reward! I want to scatter the pieces around the park so everyone can have a piece." + +Tom thought it was a great idea! The two friends worked together to scatter the pieces all around. Everyone had a turn to find a piece. Even when the reward was gone, the two friends continued to have fun in the park. + +From then on, whenever Sam and Tom went to the park, they always scattered fake rewards to share with their friends. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl. She was walking in the forest with her mum, when she saw a big tree in the distance. She was so excited and ran towards it. When she reached it the little girl said: "Mum, can I climb up the tree?" + +Her mum replied: "No, you're too small for that. You could get hurt." But the little girl didn't want to listen. She started to climb up the tree, step by step. + +The girl was climbing higher and higher. Her mum started to get worried, but the girl kept climbing. Finally, the girl reached the top and shouted for joy. + +But then, the girl noticed the branch she was standing on was shaking. The branch got more and more shaky and she started to get scared. The little girl said: "Mum, please help me!" + +Her mum said: "I told you not to climb! Now I have to come rescue you." As the mum climbed up, the little girl started to feel ashamed. + +Finally, the mum reached the top and carried the little girl back down. She told the girl: "You should never increase something to the point where it gets dangerous!" The little girl nodded her head, understanding her mistake. And so the little girl learned her lesson and never climbed the tree again! +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Max. He was very curious and he often examined things. One day he found a pin which was a special colour - blue. + +Max became very excited and he went to find his mom. + +"Mom," said Max, holding up the blue pin. "Look what I've found!" + +Mom smiled. "Let's examine it," she said. + +Max and Mom looked very closely at the pin. They saw that it had stars on it. "This is very special," said Mom. + +Max smiled and held the pin tight. He was so proud to have found his new blue pin. +Once upon a time there was a fast little girl, who loved to speed along. One day she said to her mother, "Mom, can I go running?" Her mother answered, "Yes, but remember to keep your waist safe and watch out for cars!" + +The girl nodded her head and began to speed along the sidewalk. But, when she looked back, she saw an ignorant driver coming straight towards her! The little girl was scared and tried to run faster, but she couldn't. The car was coming closer, and the driver wasn't paying attention. + +Suddenly, her mother came running up behind her. She had seen the car coming and had come to the rescue! She shouted out and the driver finally noticed them. He quickly stopped the car and the girl ran safely away. + +From that day on, the little girl remembered her mother's words, "Always keep your waist safe and watch out for cars!" +Once upon a time, there was a new pig. The pig was very happy to live on the farm. + +One day, he went to the barn and saw there wasn't enough room for him. He asked the other animals, "Will I fit in here?" + +The sheep said, "No, there isn't any more space. We're already too tight!" The pig was disappointed but he looked around and noticed a bright spot in the corner. He went to the spot and found a new bag of straw. + +The pig said to the other animals, "Look! I can fit in here if I use the straw." + +The goat said, "That's a great idea! Now there's room for everyone." + +The pig was very happy. She snuggled into the straw and fell asleep. From that day on, the animals could all fit in the barn. +One day, Tom was walking in the park. He saw a blue cat. "How pretty," he thought. Suddenly, the cat started to run away! Tom was scared, so he chased after her. But the cat was very fast! He lost her in the trees. + +He was so sad. He had wanted to keep the cat as a pet. He sat down and started to cry. + +Just then, he heard someone laughing. It was the blue cat! She had come back to find him. Tom was so happy that he had not lost her. He hugged the cat tight. + +"Let's go home," he said. From that day on, Tom and the blue cat were best friends. +Once upon a time, Jack and his mommy were in the garden. Jack's mommy said, “Jack, please help me. Can you send the rake over to that pile of leaves?†+ +Jack smiled and said, “Okay!†He carefully picked up a delicate wooden rake and sent it over to the piles of leaves. He watched with delight as the rake neatly gathered the leaves. + +His Mommy beamed with pride and said, â€Great job, Jack! You are so helpful.†+ +Jack jumped and clapped with joy. He said, “I have sent the rake! Can I do it again?†+ +Mommy laughed and said, “Yes, of course!†+ +Jack sent the rake back and forth over and over, cleaning the garden until all of the leaves were neatly in a pile. + +Mommy smiled and said, “Wonderful job, Jack. You sent the rake very delicately!†+ +Jack grinned with pride and hugged his Mommy. He was so happy that he had helped his Mommy in the garden. +Once upon a time upon a hill there was a happy tree.

He liked it a lot. + +The tree noticed the boy and asked him why he was so serious. The boy said that he was admiring the tree because it was so beautiful. + +The tree was happy to hear these words. It said to the boy, “Let’s play!†The boy smiled and agreed. + +So the boy and the tree played together in the sun and the wind. They both laughed and enjoyed the day. + +The boy admired the tree even more. He thought it was the most beautiful tree in the world! +Norman and Amelie were two curious kids. They were playing tag in the park when they noticed a slide. They decided to give it a try. "Let's slide down!", Norman shouted. + +But unfortunately the slide was stuck. The kids looked all around, and they noticed a sign that said "Do not use, under operation." + +Amelie scratched her head. "What's an operation?", she asked. + +Norman looked very embarrassed. He had thought the slide was a good idea, but now he felt a little bit silly. So he replied in a poor voice, "It means that somebody is fixing the slide." + +Amelie nodded. Then she smiled at Norman. "Maybe we can slide here when it's finished." + +Norman smiled back. "Yes, that would be great!" +Toby was playing outside, when suddenly the wind blew very powerfully. Toby's scarf flew away in the strong air. He watched as the scarf tumbled up in the sky and then fall somewhere far away. + +He wanted to go and find it, but he was feeling scared. All he could hear was the powerful wind. + +"Don't worry Toby," said his mother. "Let's go and find it together." + +So Toby and his mother walked to the spot where the scarf had fallen. After a few minutes it was there, lying in the grass. Toby was so happy to have it back that he twirled around with it in the wind. He laughed as the bright scarf trailed behind him as he spun around. + +The end. +Billy loved painting. He would get out his paintbrush and a blank canvas and get to work. He loved all the colours he could use and how he could make pictures with them. Billy was so creative with his paintings, which his mum and dad loved to watch. + +Today, his mum had a surprise. She said "Billy, why don't you come and paint in the garden? We have some special music and I think it will make your painting even more special." + +Billy went outside, ready to paint. His mum had put some mild music on that was beautiful and made him feel calm. He was so happy as he started to paint. As he listened to the music, he started to draw shapes and swirls. Eventually, it all began to come together and a picture was forming. He stepped back and smiled at his final painting. It was like the music had become part of the painting. + +Billy's mum smiled at the painting, too. "Billy, this looks amazing. The music and the painting have come together perfectly. Well done!" + +Billy was so proud of his painting and felt so happy. The mild music had been just perfect for him to create an amazing work of art. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tom. Tom was only three years old but he liked to explore. One day, he was out walking with his mom. + +He stopped at a big puddle. He wanted to splash in it. But his mom said, "No, Tom. Don't splash in the puddle." + +Suddenly, lightning struck in the sky. It was so loud and bright! Tom's mom scared and said, "Let's go home!" + +When Tom and his mom got back, they had a snack.

The twin asked the stranger who he was but the stranger said nothing. + +The twin felt curious and followed the stranger, who crept towards a mysterious building. The twin was scared but also excited and he followed the stranger inside. + +As soon as they entered, the stranger shouted, "Let's steal something dangerous!" The twin screamed, but it was too late. The stranger had already taken a dangerous item to take away. + +The twin felt a great sadness in being left alone and he realized that he'd been tricked. He should have known it was dangerous to follow strangers. + +The moral of the story is that it is important to be smart and not follow people we don't know. We must always be careful because dangerous things can happen if we aren't careful. +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Diego and Katy. Diego was a friendly frog and Katy was a kind-hearted groundhog. They were best friends, always helping one another out. + +One night, Diego had a dream about radishes. He had seen strange, big red radishes. When he woke up, he thought he knew what he had to do. He said to his friend Katy, "I need to find the radishes I saw in my dream. Can you help me?" + +Katy nodded and they began to search. Everywhere they looked they saw only small, little radishes. Nothing like the ones Diego saw in his dream. Discouraged, they began to head back home when out of nowhere, serendipitously, Diego saw the familiar big red radishes! + +Diego and Katy were overjoyed! But Diego noticed that the radishes seemed helpless. They were not allowed to move from their spot. Diego said, "We must help these radishes!" Katy agreed and together, they worked to free the radishes. Diego and Katy were so proud of what they had done and humbly accepted the radishes gratitude. After celebrating, they headed back home.

She said, "What do you want to do with the ball?" + +The little figure looked at the fairy and he smiled. "I want to play," he said. + +The fairy nodded and made the ball float up in the air. The little figure cheered and cheered as he chased and tried to catch it. He laughed and smiled so much that the fairy smiled too. + +The little figure finally caught the ball and hugged it tightly.

He came back and gave it to Jack. Jack was so happy. He said thank you and hugged the kind man. + +Jack couldn't wait to show his mum the yellow penny he had got. He smiled as he ran over to show her. +Danny was a little boy who always wanted to win. He and his brothers would compete in all kinds of different games. One day his brothers proposed a new game. In this game, instead of winning, Danny would have to come in second every time. Danny really wanted to win, but his brothers were adamant about insisting that he always come in second. He didn't understand why and he complained about not getting to win. + +The brothers were tough, but Danny was even tougher.
