+
+Mom had an idea. She took the blue bathrobe and put it on. She said it was a dragon. She said she was going to breathe fire and chase them. She made a loud roar and flapped her wings.

+
+"We were bouncing on the freezer, but we fell in!" Ben and Lily said.

+
+Mia shakes her head and says, "No, Sam, we can't buy candy with it. It is a magic coin. We can make a wish with it. Come, I know a place where we can throw it and make a wish."
+
+Sam follows Mia to a small pond. Mia says, "This is the pond of wishes. If we throw the coin in the water and say what we want, it will come true. But we have to be careful. We can only make one wish, and we have to say it loud and clear."
+
+Sam thinks for a moment. He likes candy, but he also likes toys and books and games. He doesn't know what to wish for. He asks Mia, "What are you going to wish for, Mia?"
+
+Mia smiles and says, "I know what I want. I want a big, fluffy, pink unicorn. It will be my best friend and we will have so much fun together. Watch me, Sam. I will throw the coin and make my wish."
+
+Mia holds the coin in her hand and throws it as hard as she can. The coin flies in the air and lands in the water with a splash. Mia says loud and clear, "I wish for a big, fluffy, pink unicorn!"
+
+Sam and Mia wait and watch. They hope to see a unicorn appear. But nothing happens. The pond is still and quiet. Mia looks sad and says, "Maybe the coin was not magic. Maybe we can't make wishes. Maybe we should have bought candy instead."
+
+Sam feels sorry for Mia. He wants to cheer her up. He says, "Don't be sad, Mia. Maybe the unicorn is on its way. Maybe it is hiding behind the trees. Maybe it is shy. Let's go and look for it. Maybe we will find it and play with it."
+
+Mia nods and says, "Okay, Sam. Let's go and look for the unicorn. Maybe you are right. Maybe it is here somewhere. And maybe you can make your wish too. What do you want to wish for, Sam?"
+
+Sam smiles and says, "I don't need to make a wish, Mia. I already have what I want. I have you. You are my friend. And that is the best thing ever."

+
+"Hello, duck!" Tom says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The duck looks at Tom and Sue. It quacks loudly. It is hungry. It wants to eat.
+
+"Maybe the duck wants some bread," Sue says. "I have some in my bag. Do you want to share, Tom?"
+
+Tom nods. He likes bread. He and Sue take out some bread and break it into pieces. They throw the bread to the duck. The duck eats the bread. It is happy. It quacks again.
+
+"Thank you, duck!" Tom and Sue say. "You are a nice duck. We are glad you are not hungry anymore."
+
+The duck wags its tail. It likes Tom and Sue. They are nice children. They are glad they made a new friend. They smile and wave to the duck. They go back to play in the park.
+Lily liked to touch things. She touched her toys, her books, her clothes. She touched her mom's hair, her dad's glasses, her brother's shoes. She touched everything she could see.
+
+But there was one thing she was not allowed to touch. It was her dad's jacket. It was big and black and had a shiny zipper. Lily wanted to touch the zipper. She wanted to pull it up and down and hear it make a sound.
+
+One day, when her dad was not home, Lily saw the jacket hanging on a chair. She ran to it and reached for the zipper. She was being naughty. She did not listen to her mom, who told her not to touch the jacket.
+
+But as soon as she touched the zipper, she felt a sting. The zipper was hot. It had been in the sun for a long time. It burned Lily's finger. She cried out loud and let go of the zipper. She ran to her mom, who hugged her and put some ice on her finger.
+
+Lily learned her lesson. She did not touch the jacket again. She did not touch things that were not hers. She was sorry for being naughty. She said sorry to her dad, who kissed her and forgave her. He told her he loved her, even when she made mistakes. He also told her to be careful with zippers, because they could be hot or sharp. Lily nodded and smiled. She was happy. She still liked to touch things, but only the things that were safe and nice.
+Lily liked to help her mom work in the kitchen. She watched her mom make dough for bread. Mom gave Lily some dough to play with. Lily rolled it and shaped it into a ball. She was very happy.
+
+But then, Lily saw a little bird outside the window. The bird looked hungry and cold. Lily felt sorry for the bird. She wanted to be compassionate. She had an idea. She took her ball of dough and ran outside.
+
+She found the bird on a branch. She said, "Hello, bird. I have something for you. It is dough. You can eat it and be warm." She threw the dough to the bird. The bird caught it and pecked at it. It chirped and flapped its wings. It seemed to like the dough.
+
+Lily smiled and clapped her hands. She was glad she helped the bird. She ran back to the kitchen. She told her mom what she did. Mom hugged her and said, "You are very kind, Lily. You are compassionate. I am proud of you." Lily felt happy and proud too. She and her mom ate bread and shared some with the bird. They had a good day.
+Tom and Anna liked to play in the woods behind their house. They saw many trees, birds, and animals. Sometimes they found things that people left behind, like cans, bottles, and keys.
+
+One day, they found a big metal box under a pine tree. It had a lock on it, but no key. Tom and Anna wondered what was inside. Maybe it was treasure, or toys, or candy. They wanted to unlock it and see.
+
+They looked around for a key that would fit the lock. They tried the keys they had found before, but none of them worked. They tried to break the lock with a stick, but it was too hard. They tried to lift the box, but it was too heavy.
+
+They were about to give up, when they heard a noise. It was a squirrel, holding a shiny key in its mouth. The squirrel ran up the pine tree and dropped the key on a branch. Tom and Anna saw the key and got excited. Maybe it was the right key for the box.
+
+They climbed the pine tree and reached for the key. The squirrel was not happy. It thought the key was its nut. It tried to bite Tom and Anna, but they were too fast. They grabbed the key and slid down the tree.
+
+They ran to the box and put the key in the lock. It fit! They turned the key and heard a click. They opened the box and looked inside. What did they see?
+
+They saw a big, fluffy, white teddy bear. It had a red bow around its neck and a smile on its face. It looked very friendly and harmless. Tom and Anna were happy. They hugged the teddy bear and thanked the squirrel. They decided to share the teddy bear and take it home. They had found a new friend in the woods.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big bush with red flowers. Lily thinks the flowers are pretty. Ben thinks the flowers are fake.
+
+"Look, Lily, these flowers are not real. They are made of paper and glue. See, they do not smell or move. They are fake flowers," Ben says.
+
+Lily does not believe Ben. She thinks the flowers are real. She likes to touch and smell them. She says, "No, Ben, these flowers are real. They are soft and sweet. They are not fake flowers."
+
+They start to argue. They pull and tug at the flowers. They make a lot of noise. They do not see the bee that lives in the bush.
+
+The bee is angry. It does not like the noise and the pulling. It wants to protect its home and its flowers. It flies out of the bush and stings Ben on the nose.
+
+Ben cries out loud. He drops the flowers and runs to the house. Lily follows him. She feels sorry for Ben. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I did not mean to hurt you. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben's nose is red and swollen. He feels a lot of pain. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. The flowers are real. They are not fake flowers."
+
+They hug and make up. They learn a lesson. They learn to respect nature and each other. They learn not to fight over silly things. They learn to be kind and gentle.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. One day, they see a big hill of ice. They want to slide on the ice.
+
+"Let's go to the ice hill!" Tom says.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The ice is hard and cold." Sue says.
+
+They run to the ice hill. They take turns to slide down. They have fun. But Tom slides too fast. He hits a rock. He falls. He hurts his leg.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cries.
+
+Sue runs to Tom. She sees his leg is red and swollen.
+
+"Tom, you need to rest. Your leg is bad." Sue says.
+
+She helps Tom to sit under a tree. She finds a leaf. She wraps the leaf around his leg.
+
+"The leaf is cool. It will make your leg feel better." Sue says.
+
+She gives Tom some water. She stays with him.
+
+"Thank you, Sue. You are a good friend." Tom says.
+
+They rest under the tree. They wait for help.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be careful when you play. Help your friends when they are hurt. Rest when you are tired.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they find a big box. They wonder what is inside.
+
+They open the box and see a big fly. The fly is filthy. It has dirt and dust on its wings. It buzzes and tries to get out. Ben and Sam are scared. They do not like the filthy fly.
+
+They run to their mom and tell her about the fly. Mom is not happy. She says the fly is not a toy. She says someone must have sent the fly as a joke. She says they have to get rid of the fly.
+
+She gives them a net and a jar. She tells them to catch the fly and put it in the jar. Then she tells them to send the jar back to whoever sent the fly. She says that will teach them a lesson.
+
+Ben and Sam do what mom says. They catch the fly and put it in the jar. They write a note that says "We do not like your filthy fly. Do not send us flies again." They put the note and the jar in the box. They take the box to the post office. They send the box back to the sender.
+
+They hope they will never see a filthy fly again. They go back to the garden and play with their toys. They are happy.
+One day, a little boy named Tom wanted to see what was on the other side of the big wall. He climbed on a chair and then on a table and then on a book. He was very high and he felt wonder. He could see the trees and the birds and the sky.
+
+But then, the book moved and Tom lost his balance. He tried to hold on to the wall, but it was too smooth. He started to fall and he was very scared. He screamed for help, but no one heard him.
+
+He fell on the grass and it hurt a lot. He cried and cried and cried. His mom came running and saw him. She was very worried and angry. She picked him up and hugged him. She checked if he was hurt. He had some scratches and bruises, but nothing broken.
+
+She took him inside and put some cream and bandages on his wounds. She told him he was very foolish to climb so high. She said he could have fallen on the rocks or the road and got very hurt. She said he should never do that again. She said he should be careful and listen to her.
+
+Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He said he was sorry and he loved her. He said he would never do that again. He said he learned his lesson. He hugged her and said thank you. She smiled and kissed him. She said she loved him too. She said he was still her wonder boy.
+Sara loves to dance. She dances in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the night. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. She dances with her dolls, with her dog, and with her mom.
+
+One day, Sara sees a big sunflower in the garden. It is yellow and bright and tall. Sara thinks it is beautiful. She wants to dance with the sunflower. She runs to the garden and says hello to the sunflower. She asks the sunflower if it wants to dance with her.
+
+The sunflower does not answer. It does not move. It does not smile. Sara thinks the sunflower is shy. She tries to make the sunflower happy. She sings a song, she tells a joke, she makes a funny face. But the sunflower still does not answer. It still does not move. It still does not smile.
+
+Sara feels sad. She thinks the sunflower does not like her. She thinks the sunflower is mean. She thinks the sunflower is competitive. She thinks the sunflower thinks it is better than her. She gets angry. She says to the sunflower, "You are not nice. You are not fun. You are not a good dancer. I am a better dancer than you. I will show you."
+
+Sara starts to dance. She dances fast and hard and loud. She dances around the sunflower. She dances in front of the sunflower. She dances behind the sunflower. She dances to show the sunflower that she is the best dancer in the world. She dances to make the sunflower jealous. She dances to make the sunflower sad.
+
+But the sunflower does not care. It does not watch. It does not listen. It does not feel. It just stands there, in the sun, in the wind, in the rain. It just grows, and blooms, and seeds. It just does what sunflowers do.
+
+Sara gets tired. She stops dancing. She looks at the sunflower. She sees that the sunflower is not shy, or mean, or competitive. It is just a sunflower. It is not a dancer. It is not a friend. It is not a foe. It is just a sunflower.
+
+Sara feels silly. She feels sorry. She feels lonely. She says to the sunflower, "I am sorry. I was wrong. You are not a bad sunflower. You are a good sunflower. You are a beautiful sunflower. But you are not a dancer. And I am a dancer. And I need a dancer to dance with me."
+
+Sara walks away from the sunflower. She goes back to the house. She finds her mom. She hugs her mom. She says to her mom, "Mom, I love you. You are a good mom. You are a beautiful mom. And you are a dancer. Will you dance with me?"
+
+Her mom smiles. She says to Sara, "Of course, my darling. I love you too. You are a good girl. You are a beautiful girl. And you are a dancer. Let's dance together."
+
+Sara and her mom dance. They dance in the kitchen, in the living room, and in the bedroom. They dance when they are happy, when they are sad, and when they are bored. They dance with their dolls, with their dog, and with each other. They dance and dance and dance. And they are happy.
+Lily and Ben went to the store with Mom. They wanted to buy ice cream for a treat. Mom said they could each pick one flavor. Lily and Ben ran to the cooler where the ice cream was. They saw many colors and pictures on the boxes.
+
+"Look, Ben, this one has a bear and honey!" Lily said, pointing to a yellow box. "I want this one!"
+
+"No, Lily, this one is better!" Ben said, grabbing a blue box. "It has a penguin and fish!"
+
+They started to argue about which ice cream was better. Mom came over and saw them. She was not happy.
+
+"Lily and Ben, stop fighting!" Mom said. "You can each have one ice cream, but you have to share. And you have to be nice to each other. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They did not want to make Mom angry. They put their boxes in the cart and followed Mom to the cashier. They paid for their ice cream and went to the car.
+
+When they got home, they opened their boxes and scooped some ice cream into bowls. They were excited to taste their flavors. But when they took a bite, they made a face.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily said. "This ice cream is not sweet. It is sour!"
+
+"Ew!" Ben said. "This ice cream is not creamy. It is icy!"
+
+They looked at their boxes and saw the words. Lily's box said "Lemon Sorbet". Ben's box said "Frozen Yogurt". They did not know what those words meant. They only looked at the pictures.
+
+They realized they made a mistake. They wished they had picked different ice creams. They looked at each other and felt sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Ben said. "Do you want to try mine?"
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Lily said. "Do you want to try mine?"
+
+They swapped their bowls and tried each other's ice cream. They did not like them either. They were both too cold and not tasty.
+
+They decided to throw away their ice cream and eat something else. They learned a lesson. Next time, they would read the words and not just look at the pictures. And they would be nicer to each other. Mom was right. Sharing was better.
+Ben likes to play golf with his dad. They go to a big field with holes and flags. Dad gives Ben a small stick and a white ball. Ben tries to hit the ball with the stick and make it fly to the hole.
+
+"Good job, Ben!" Dad says. "You are a good golfer!"
+
+Ben smiles. He likes to make Dad happy. He likes to swing the stick and watch the ball fly. He likes to walk with Dad and find the ball.
+
+But sometimes, Ben gets nervous. He sees other people playing golf too. They have bigger sticks and bigger balls. They swing faster and harder. They make loud noises when they hit the ball.
+
+"Who are they, Dad?" Ben asks.
+
+"They are other golfers, Ben. They play golf for fun or for money. They are very good at golf. Do you want to watch them?"
+
+Ben nods. He wants to see how they play golf. He follows Dad to a place where they can watch. He sees a man with a red shirt and a hat. He has a very big stick. He puts his ball on a small stand. He swings his stick very fast and very hard. He hits the ball very far. He makes a loud noise.
+
+"Wow!" Ben says. "He is amazing!"
+
+"Yes, he is, Ben. He is a famous golfer. His name is Tiger. He wins a lot of money and trophies. He is very good at golf."
+
+Ben watches Tiger. He wants to be like him. He wants to swing his stick very fast and very hard. He wants to hit his ball very far. He wants to make loud noises.
+
+But he also feels nervous. He thinks Tiger is too good. He thinks he can never be like him. He thinks he is not good enough at golf.
+
+"Dad?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben?"
+
+"Can we play golf again?"
+
+"Of course, Ben. Why do you ask?"
+
+"Because I like to play golf with you. You are my favorite golfer. You make me happy. You teach me how to swing. You don't make me nervous."
+
+Dad smiles. He hugs Ben. He says, "You are my favorite golfer too, Ben. You make me happy. You learn very fast. You don't have to be nervous. You just have to have fun."
+
+Ben smiles. He hugs Dad. He says, "OK, Dad. Let's have fun. Let's play golf."
+Lily loved animals. She wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. She liked to joke with her stuffed animals and pretend they were sick. She would use her toy stethoscope and bandages to make them feel better.
+
+One day, Lily's mom took her to the real veterinarian. Lily was excited to see the real animals and the real doctor. She brought her favorite stuffed dog, Spot, with her. She hoped the doctor would joke with her and Spot.
+
+But when they got to the clinic, Lily saw a big, angry cat. The cat hissed and scratched at the cage. Lily was frightened. She hugged Spot and hid behind her mom. She did not want to joke anymore.
+
+The veterinarian came out and smiled at Lily. He saw Spot and said, "What a cute dog! Is he here for a check-up?" Lily nodded shyly. The veterinarian took Spot and said, "Don't worry, I'll be gentle. I like to joke with my patients, too."
+
+He took Spot to a table and looked at his ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. He tickled his belly and said, "Spot, you are a very healthy dog. You have a good owner who takes care of you." He gave Spot a treat and a sticker. He gave Lily a sticker, too. He said, "Lily, you are a very brave girl. You love animals, just like me. Maybe you can be a veterinarian someday."
+
+Lily smiled and thanked the veterinarian. She felt better. She was not frightened anymore. She saw the cat again and said, "Hi, cat. I'm sorry you are angry. Maybe you need a joke to make you happy." The cat looked at Lily and stopped hissing. It meowed softly. Lily giggled and said, "See, Spot? Jokes are good for animals." She hugged Spot and her mom and said, "I like the veterinarian. He is nice and funny. Can we come back again?" Her mom said, "Yes, we can. But only if Spot needs it. He is a very healthy dog, remember?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, he is. And he is my best friend."
+Tim and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big farm with many animals. They wanted to see them closer, so they climbed over the fence.
+
+"Look, there is a cow!" Sue said, pointing at a black and white animal. "And there is a pig!" Tim said, looking at a pink and dirty animal. They walked around the farm, looking at the chickens, the sheep, and the horses.
+
+Then, they saw a furry animal with big horns and a ring in its nose. It was a bull, but they did not know that. They thought it was a friendly cow.
+
+"Let's pet it!" Tim said, running towards the bull. "Wait, Tim, it might be dangerous!" Sue said, following him. But Tim did not listen. He reached out his hand to touch the bull's fur.
+
+The bull did not like that. It felt Tim's hand on its back and got angry. It turned around and saw Tim and Sue. It snorted and lowered its head. Then, it charged at them with its horns.
+
+Tim and Sue were scared. They tried to run away, but the bull was faster. It caught up with them and hit them with its horns. Tim and Sue fell to the ground, bleeding and crying. The bull did not stop. It kept attacking them, until they stopped moving.
+
+The farmer heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. He saw the bull and the children on the ground. He was shocked and sad. He called for help, but it was too late. Tim and Sue were dead. They had gained nothing but pain and trouble. The bull had gained nothing but anger and guilt. The farmer had gained nothing but sorrow and loss. It was a bad ending for everyone.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to draw with crayons. They had many colors of crayons, but they always shared them with each other. One day, they decided to draw a picture of their favorite animal, a cat.
+
+"What color do you want to use for the cat?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"I want to use orange, like my cat at home," Ben said.
+
+"OK, I will use black, like my cat at home," Lily said.
+
+They started to draw their cats on a big piece of paper. They used their crayons to make the fur, the eyes, the nose, and the whiskers. They also drew a sun, a tree, and a ball of yarn for their cats to play with.
+
+When they finished, they looked at their picture and smiled. They were very proud of their work.
+
+"Your cat is very pretty, Lily," Ben said.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. Your cat is very handsome," Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and said, "We are good friends."
+
+They were very grateful for their crayons and their friendship. They decided to hang their picture on the wall, so they could see it every day. They also decided to discuss what they would draw next time. They had many ideas and many crayons to use. They were very happy.
+Ben liked to paint. He had many colors and brushes. He painted on paper, on wood, on rocks, and sometimes on the wall. Mommy and Daddy did not like when he painted on the wall. They said it was messy and bad.
+
+One day, Ben saw a big pile of lumber in the yard. Daddy said he was going to build a shed. Ben thought the lumber looked boring. It was all brown and plain. He wanted to make it pretty. He had an idea.
+
+He took his paints and brushes and sneaked to the yard. He looked around. No one was there. He started to paint on the lumber. He painted red and blue and green and yellow. He painted stripes and dots and stars and flowers. He painted until he ran out of paint. He was very happy. He made the lumber beautiful.
+
+But then he heard a loud voice. It was Daddy. He was very angry. He saw the painted lumber and shouted. He said Ben ruined his lumber. He said he could not build his shed now. He said Ben had to go to his room and think about what he did.
+
+Ben was very sad. He did not mean to ruin Daddy's lumber. He just wanted to paint. He did not understand why Daddy was so mad. He went to his room and cried. He wished he had not painted on the lumber. He wished he had painted on something else. Something tall. Something like the wall.
+Lily likes to see the purple flowers in the garden. She thinks they are pretty and smell good. She likes to pick some and give them to her mom and dad. They say thank you and smile.
+
+One day, Lily sees something shiny on the purple flowers. She goes closer and sees that it is sugar. She wonders who put sugar on the flowers. She thinks maybe it is a fairy or a bird. She wants to taste the sugar.
+
+She reaches out her hand and touches the sugar. But it is not sugar. It is a bee. The bee is angry and stings Lily's finger. Lily cries and runs to her mom and dad. They hug her and put ice on her finger. They tell her that the bee was making honey from the flowers. They say honey is like sugar, but sweeter.
+
+Lily learns that not everything that looks like sugar is sugar. She also learns that bees can hurt if you touch them. She still likes the purple flowers, but she does not try to taste them anymore. She says sorry to the bee and hopes it is not too mad. She says she will be more careful next time.
+Tom and Anna were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build tall towers and knock them down. They laughed and had fun.
+
+Suddenly, they felt the floor shake. The blocks fell down and the pictures on the wall moved. They heard a loud noise outside. They were scared.
+
+"What is that?" Tom asked.
+
+"It is an earthquake," Anna said. "It is when the ground moves. It is very rare. It does not happen often."
+
+They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. It is over now. It was a small earthquake. We are safe."
+
+She checked the radio and heard that there was no damage or injuries. She was relieved.
+
+"Can we help?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, you can," mom said. "You can help me pick up the blocks and the pictures. And you can help me make some cookies for our neighbors. They might be scared too. We can share them and make them happy."
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They liked to help. They liked cookies. They liked their neighbors. They were not scared anymore. They were brave.
+Lily likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Anna. Anna has long hair and a pink cap. Lily likes to brush Anna's hair and put the cap on her head.
+
+One day, Lily wants to go outside and play with Anna. She asks her mom, "Can I go out with Anna, please?" Her mom says, "Yes, but you have to wear your coat and shoes. It is cold outside." Lily says, "OK, mom. Thank you." She puts on her coat and shoes and takes Anna with her.
+
+Lily goes to the park and sees her friend Ben. Ben is playing with his truck. He sees Lily and Anna and says, "Hi, Lily. Hi, Anna. Do you want to play with me?" Lily says, "Yes, Ben. We can play together." She puts Anna on the bench and goes to Ben.
+
+They play with the truck for a while. They make it go fast and slow, and make noises like vroom and beep. They have fun. But then, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees Anna on the bench and thinks she is a toy. He runs to the bench and grabs Anna by the cap. He pulls the cap off Anna's head and runs away.
+
+Lily and Ben see the dog and scream. They run to the bench and see Anna without her cap. Lily is very sad. She says, "Oh no, Anna! Your cap! The dog took your cap!" Ben says, "Don't worry, Lily. We can get it back. Come on, let's chase the dog." They run after the dog and try to get the cap back.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the snow together. They made snowmen, snow angels and snow forts. They always wore their mittens to keep their hands warm.
+
+One day, they found a beautiful red mitten in the snow. It was soft and shiny and had a white heart on it. Lily and Ben both wanted the mitten. They pulled and tugged on it, but neither of them would let go.
+
+"Give me the mitten, it's mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Ben yelled.
+
+They were so angry that they forgot to be careful. The mitten ripped in half. Lily and Ben stared at the torn mitten. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry, I was mean. Can you forgive me?"
+
+They hugged and said, "I forgive you, you're still my friend."
+
+They decided to share the mitten. They each took a half and put it on their hand. They held hands and smiled. They went back to playing in the snow. They were happy again.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to eat candy. She ate candy every day, and did not like to eat fruits or vegetables. She also did not like to exercise, because she was too busy eating candy. She did not listen to her mom and dad, who told her to eat healthy and play outside.
+
+One day, Lily found a big bag of candy in the kitchen. She was very happy, and decided to eat all of it. She did not share with her brother or sister, who were playing outside. She bit into the candy, and felt a sharp pain in her tooth. She cried out loud, and dropped the candy. She looked at her tooth, and saw that it was broken. She felt very sad and scared.
+
+Her mom and dad heard her cry, and came to the kitchen. They saw the candy and the broken tooth, and knew what happened. They took Lily to the dentist, who fixed her tooth. The dentist told Lily that she had to brush her teeth every day, and eat less candy. He also told her that she had to exercise more, to keep her body and teeth healthy. He gave her a tasty apple, and told her to eat more fruits and vegetables.
+
+Lily learned her lesson, and said sorry to her mom and dad. She also said sorry to her brother and sister, and shared her apple with them. She started to eat healthy and exercise more, and felt much better. She still liked candy, but only ate a little bit sometimes. She also brushed her teeth every day, and did not bite into hard candy anymore. She was happy, and so were her mom and dad.
+Ben likes to deliver mail with his dad. His dad is a mailman. He has a big truck with many letters and boxes. Ben helps his dad put the mail in the right houses. He likes to see the people smile when they get their mail.
+
+One day, Ben and his dad go to a big building. It is a court. His dad says they have to deliver mail to the judge. The judge is a person who decides if people are good or bad. Ben is curious. He wants to see the judge.
+
+They go inside the building. They walk up many stairs. They see a big door with a sign. It says "Judge Smith". His dad knocks on the door. A lady opens it. She is the judge. She has a black robe and a white wig. She looks serious.
+
+"Hello, I have mail for you," his dad says. He gives her a big envelope. She takes it and says "Thank you". She sees Ben. She smiles. She says "Who is this?"
+
+"This is my son, Ben. He is helping me today," his dad says. He introduces Ben to the judge. Ben says "Hello". He is shy.
+
+The judge says "Hello, Ben. You are a good helper. Do you want to see my office?" Ben nods. He is curious. The judge invites them in. She shows them her desk, her books, her gavel and her flag. She tells them what she does. She says she listens to people and helps them solve their problems. She says she likes her job.
+
+Ben thinks the judge is cool. He likes her office. He likes her flag. He likes her gavel. He asks if he can hold it. The judge says yes. She lets him hold the gavel. He bangs it on the desk. He says "Order in the court!" He laughs. The judge laughs. His dad laughs.
+
+They have fun. They talk for a while. The judge gives Ben a sticker. It says "Future Judge". Ben likes the sticker. He says "Thank you". He says "Goodbye". He and his dad leave the office. They go back to the truck. They deliver more mail.
+
+Ben is happy. He likes to deliver mail with his dad. He likes to meet new people. He likes to learn new things. He thinks the judge is cool. He thinks he might want to be a judge when he grows up. He sticks the sticker on his shirt. He smiles.
+Tommy did not like broccoli. He thought it was green and yucky. He did not want to eat it for dinner. He tried to hide it under his mashed potatoes, but his mom saw him.
+
+"Tommy, you have to eat your broccoli. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy," his mom said.
+
+"But I don't like it, mom. It tastes bad. Can I have something else?" Tommy asked.
+
+"No, you have to eat what is on your plate. You can have some ice cream later, but only if you finish your broccoli," his mom said.
+
+Tommy made a face. He did not want to eat his broccoli, but he wanted ice cream. He looked at his plate and saw a lot of broccoli. He had an idea. He saw his dog, Spot, under the table. Spot liked to eat anything. Tommy decided to remove some broccoli from his plate and give it to Spot. He thought his mom would not notice.
+
+He took a piece of broccoli and dropped it under the table. Spot wagged his tail and ate it. Tommy smiled. He took another piece and did the same. Spot ate it too. Tommy kept doing this until he had no more broccoli on his plate. He was happy. He thought he was clever.
+
+But Spot did not like broccoli either. He ate it because he was hungry, but it made his tummy hurt. He felt sick. He wanted to go outside. He jumped up and ran to the door. He barked loudly. He knocked over a chair and a lamp. He was wild.
+
+"Spot, what are you doing? Stop that!" his mom shouted.
+
+She saw the mess and the broccoli on the floor. She realized what Tommy had done. She was angry.
+
+"Tommy, did you give your broccoli to Spot? That was very naughty. You lied to me. You made Spot sick. You have to clean up this mess and go to your room. No ice cream for you tonight," she said.
+
+Tommy felt bad. He knew he had done something wrong. He said sorry to his mom and to Spot. He helped to clean up and went to his room. He wished he had eaten his broccoli. He learned his lesson.
+Lily and Luke are twins. They like to play together. One day, they see a big white ball in the park. It is very round and soft. They want to touch it.
+
+They run to the ball. Lily gets there first. She grabs the ball with both hands. She smiles. She likes the ball. She wants to keep it.
+
+Luke is sad. He wants the ball too. He tries to grab the ball from Lily. Lily does not let go. They pull and tug. The ball is not happy. It makes a loud noise. Pssssssss!
+
+The ball is not a ball. It is a balloon. Someone left it in the park. Lily and Luke made a hole in it. The air comes out. The balloon gets smaller and smaller. It is not round and soft anymore. It is flat and wrinkly.
+
+Lily and Luke are sorry. They did not mean to break the balloon. They look at each other. They hug. They say sorry to the balloon. They go to find another toy to play with. They are still twins. They still like to play together.
+Ben likes to jog with his dad. They jog in the park every morning. Ben likes to see the birds, the trees and the flowers. He likes to feel the sun and the wind on his face. He likes to hear his dad say, "You are a clever boy, Ben. You can jog very fast and very far."
+
+One day, they jog near a big pond. Ben sees some ducks in the water. He wants to feed them some bread. He asks his dad if he can. His dad says, "OK, but be careful. Don't go too close to the edge. The ground is slippery and you might trip and fall in the pond."
+
+Ben nods and takes some bread from his dad. He runs to the pond and throws some bread to the ducks. The ducks quack and swim to the bread. Ben smiles and throws some more bread. He does not see a big rock in his way. He trips on the rock and falls down. He cries out, "Dad, help!"
+
+His dad hears him and runs to him. He picks him up and hugs him. He checks if he is hurt. He says, "You are OK, Ben. You only have a small scratch on your knee. It will heal soon. You are a brave boy, Ben. You did not cry too much. But you have to be more careful next time. You could have fallen in the pond and got wet and cold."
+
+Ben says, "I'm sorry, dad. I did not see the rock. I was looking at the ducks. They are so cute and funny. Can we feed them again tomorrow?"
+
+His dad says, "Yes, we can. But we will jog on the other side of the pond. There are no rocks there. And we will bring more bread for the ducks. They are hungry and they like you. You are a clever boy, Ben. You can make friends with the ducks."
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big purple butterfly on a flower. Sara wanted to catch it. She had a net in her bag.
+
+"Look, Ben, a purple butterfly! I want it!" Sara said.
+
+"No, Sara, you can't catch it. It is not nice. The butterfly wants to be free and fly," Ben said.
+
+But Sara did not listen. She ran after the butterfly with her net. She tried to trap it. The butterfly was scared. It flew away. Sara followed it.
+
+The butterfly flew over a fence. Sara climbed the fence. She did not see the sign. The sign said "Beware of the dog". There was a big dog in the yard. The dog saw Sara. It barked and ran towards her.
+
+Sara was afraid. She dropped her net and ran back to the fence. But the fence was too high. She could not climb it. She cried for help.
+
+"Ben, help me! The dog is angry!" Sara shouted.
+
+Ben heard Sara. He ran to the fence. He saw the dog and the sign. He was worried. He looked for a stick. He found one. He threw it over the fence. The dog saw the stick. It ran after it. It forgot about Sara.
+
+Ben helped Sara climb the fence. They ran away from the yard. They were safe.
+
+"Sara, are you okay?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, Ben, I am okay. Thank you for saving me. You are a good friend," Sara said.
+
+"I am glad you are okay. But Sara, you should not catch butterflies. They are not toys. They are living things. They have feelings. You should let them be," Ben said.
+
+"I know, Ben, you are right. I was wrong. I am sorry. I will not catch butterflies again. I will just look at them and enjoy their beauty," Sara said.
+
+Sara and Ben hugged. They learned a lesson. They went back to the park. They saw the purple butterfly again. It was flying happily. Sara and Ben smiled. They were happy too.
+Lily liked to display her toys on her shelf. She had many toys, but her favorite was a charming doll with red hair and a pink dress. She called her Cherry, because she looked like a sweet cherry. Lily always played with Cherry and told her stories.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they were going to visit her grandma. Lily was happy, because she loved her grandma. She wanted to bring Cherry with her, but her mom said no. She said Cherry had to stay on the shelf, because she was too big for the car. Lily was sad, but she listened to her mom. She gave Cherry a hug and a kiss and said goodbye.
+
+When they came back from grandma's house, Lily ran to her room. She wanted to see Cherry and play with her. But when she looked at the shelf, Cherry was not there. Lily was shocked and scared. She looked around the room, but she could not find Cherry. She started to cry and call for her mom.
+
+Her mom came and asked her what was wrong. Lily told her that Cherry was gone. Her mom looked at the shelf and saw a note. She read it to Lily. It said: "Dear Lily, I borrowed Cherry for a while. She is very charming and I wanted to play with her. Don't worry, I will bring her back soon. Love, your brother Sam."
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She did not like that Sam took Cherry without asking. She wanted Cherry back. She told her mom that Sam was mean and naughty. Her mom said she was sorry and that she would talk to Sam. She said Lily had to be patient and wait for Cherry to come back. She said Cherry was a special toy and that Sam would take good care of her.
+
+Lily was not happy, but she tried to be patient. She hoped that Sam would bring Cherry back soon. She missed her charming doll with red hair and a pink dress. She wondered what stories Cherry would tell her when she came back. She hoped Cherry would not be mad at her for leaving her on the shelf. She hoped Cherry would still be her best friend.
+Tom liked to play with his blocks. He had many blocks of different colors and shapes. He could make towers and bridges and houses with his blocks. He was proud of his blocks.
+
+One day, he had a new friend over. His name was Sam. Sam also liked to play with blocks. But Sam wanted to play with Tom's blocks. He took some of Tom's blocks and put them in his bag. He said they were his blocks now.
+
+Tom was angry. He wanted his blocks back. He did not want to share with Sam. He said Sam was a bad friend. He said Sam could not play with him anymore. He told Sam to go away.
+
+Sam was sad. He did not mean to make Tom angry. He liked Tom's blocks, but he also liked Tom. He wanted to be Tom's friend. He said he was sorry. He said he would give Tom's blocks back. He asked Tom to forgive him.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He looked at his blocks. He looked at Sam. He remembered that friends were important. More important than blocks. He felt sorry for being mean to Sam. He felt regret. He said he was sorry too. He said he would share his blocks with Sam. He asked Sam to stay and play with him.
+
+Sam smiled. He was happy. He took his blocks out of his bag and gave them to Tom. He said thank you. He said he was glad to be Tom's friend. He said they could play together.

+Anna and Ben were twins who loved to dance. They danced in the morning, they danced in the afternoon, they danced at night. They danced when they were happy, they danced when they were sad, they danced when they were bored. They danced so much that they forgot to do other things, like eat, sleep, and play.
+
+One day, their mom took them to a party. There were many other kids, and lots of candy. Anna and Ben wanted to eat all the candy, but their mom said no. She said they had to share, and they had to eat some food first. Anna and Ben did not listen. They sneaked some candy when their mom was not looking, and ate and ate and ate.
+
+Soon, they felt terrible. Their tummies hurt, their teeth hurt, their heads hurt. They did not want to dance anymore. They wanted to lie down and cry. They saw the other kids having fun, dancing and playing and laughing. They wished they had listened to their mom.
+
+Their mom saw them and felt sorry for them. She gave them some water and some hugs. She said, "Anna and Ben, I love you, but you have to be careful. Candy is good, but too much candy is bad. Dancing is good, but too much dancing is bad. You have to balance, and you have to listen. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We understand. We will balance, and we will listen. Can we still dance a little bit?"
+
+Their mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can dance a little bit. But first, let's eat some food, and share some candy with the other kids. And then, let's dance together."
+
+Anna and Ben agreed. They ate some food, they shared some candy, they danced with their mom and the other kids. They felt better, and they had fun. They learned their lesson. They learned that too much of anything is terrible, and that balance and listening are important.
+Ben and Lily like to play pretend. They have a big box of toys. They find a pistol and a hat in the box. Ben puts on the hat and holds the pistol. He says, "I am a cowboy. I will catch the bad guys." Lily says, "I am a horse. I will help you." She makes a sound like a horse.
+
+They run around the room. They see a teddy bear on the sofa. Ben says, "Look, a bad guy. He is hiding." He points the pistol at the teddy bear. He says, "Bang, bang, bang." Lily says, "Good job, cowboy. You got him." She makes a sound like a horse.
+
+But the teddy bear does not move. Ben says, "Why is he not scared? Why is he not running?" Lily says, "Maybe he is deaf. He can not hear the bangs." Ben says, "Oh, I see. Let's try something else." He puts the pistol in his pocket. He says, "I have an idea. Let's tickle him." Lily says, "Yes, let's do that." She makes a sound like a horse.
+
+They go to the sofa. They start to tickle the teddy bear. The teddy bear wiggles and giggles. He says, "Stop, stop, that tickles. I am not a bad guy. I am a teddy bear." Ben and Lily laugh. They say, "Sorry, teddy bear. We were playing pretend. We did not know you were not deaf." The teddy bear says, "That's okay. Can I play with you?" Ben and Lily say, "Yes, of course. You can be our friend." They hug the teddy bear. They make a sound like a horse.
+Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing on the swings, slide on the slides, and run on the grass. One day, they saw something new in the park. It was an enormous chain that hung from a big tree. It looked like a snake made of metal.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "Can we play with it?"
+
+"I don't know," Mia said. "It looks scary. Maybe it is not for kids."
+
+Ben wanted to try it. He ran to the chain and grabbed it with his hands. He pulled and pushed it. It made a loud noise. "This is fun!" he said. "Come on, Mia, let's swing on it!"
+
+Mia was not sure. She walked slowly to the chain. She touched it with her fingers. It was cold and hard. She did not like it. "I don't want to swing on it," she said. "It is too big and too noisy. I want to play with something else."
+
+Ben did not listen. He swung on the chain higher and higher. He felt brave and happy. He shouted, "Look at me, Mia, I am flying!"
+
+But then, something bad happened. The chain broke. Ben fell to the ground. He hurt his knee and his elbow. He cried. Mia ran to him. She hugged him and said, "I am sorry, Ben. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben was sad and sore. He said, "No, I am not okay. I was stupid. I should have listened to you. The chain was not for kids. It was dangerous."
+
+Mia helped Ben to stand up. She said, "It's okay, Ben. We all make mistakes. Let's go to the nurse. She will make you feel better."
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. Let's not play with the chain again."
+
+Mia agreed. She said, "Yes, let's not. Let's play with something safe and fun."
+
+They held hands and walked to the nurse. They learned a lesson. They did not play with the chain again.
+Lily likes to learn new things. She likes to learn how to draw, how to sing, and how to make bubbles. She has a big bottle of bubble soap and a wand. She blows into the wand and makes many bubbles. She laughs and claps her hands.
+
+One day, she sees a bird in the sky. The bird is blue and yellow. It is very pretty. Lily wants to make friends with the bird. She thinks the bird will like her bubbles. She blows a big bubble and tries to catch the bird. But the bird flies away. Lily is sad.
+
+She tries again and again. But the bird is too fast and too high. Lily cannot reach the bird. She feels like giving up. She sits on the grass and cries.
+
+Then, she hears a voice. It is her brother, Ben. He is older than Lily. He is very helpful. He sees Lily crying and asks her what is wrong. Lily tells him about the bird and the bubbles. Ben smiles and hugs her.
+
+He says, "Don't cry, Lily. I have an idea. I can help you make friends with the bird. Do you want to learn how?" Lily nods and wipes her tears. Ben says, "Follow me. I have something to show you."
+
+He takes her to the garage. He shows her a kite. The kite is blue and yellow, like the bird. It has a long tail and a string. Ben says, "This is a kite. It can fly in the sky, like the bird. We can attach your bubble wand to the tail. Then, when we fly the kite, it will make bubbles too. Maybe the bird will see the kite and the bubbles and come closer. Maybe it will think the kite is a friend. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily is excited. She says, "Yes, yes, yes! Let's try!" She hugs Ben and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very helpful. You are the best brother ever."
+
+They go to the park. They fly the kite and make bubbles. They see the bird again. The bird sees the kite and the bubbles. It is curious. It flies closer and closer. It chirps and flaps its wings. It lands on the kite's tail. It plays with the bubbles. It makes friends with the kite.
+
+Lily is happy. She says, "Look, Ben! Look! The bird likes the kite and the bubbles. The bird likes us. We did it! We made friends with the bird."
+
+Ben is happy too. He says, "Yes, Lily. We did it. We learned how to make friends with the bird. We learned something new. And we had fun. I'm proud of you, Lily. You are very smart. You are the best sister ever."
+
+They smile and hug each other. They watch the bird and the kite and the bubbles. They laugh and clap their hands. They are happy.
+Ben liked to play the drum. He had a big drum that made loud sounds. He liked to hit the drum with his sticks. He liked to make music for his friends.
+
+One day, Ben went to the park with his drum. He saw some kids playing on the swings and slides. He wanted to join them, but he also wanted to play his drum. He decided to play his drum near the playground. He hoped the kids would like his music.
+
+He hit the drum hard and fast. He made a lot of noise. He did not notice that the kids did not like his noise. They covered their ears and frowned. They could not hear each other or have fun. They wished Ben would stop.
+
+But Ben did not stop. He played his drum louder and louder. He did not see that the sun was getting hotter and hotter. He did not feel that his drum was getting hotter and hotter. He did not hear that his drum was cracking and breaking.
+
+Suddenly, his drum split in two. The sound stopped. Ben was shocked and sad. He looked at his broken drum. He looked at the kids. They looked at him. They did not applaud. They did not smile. They did not say anything.
+
+Ben learned a lesson. He learned that playing the drum was fun, but not all the time. He learned that he should not make noise when others want to be quiet. He learned that he should take care of his things and not break them. He learned that he should be kind and respectful to others. He learned that he should share and play with others. He learned that he would have more friends and more fun that way.
+Anna and Ben like to play music with their toys. They have drums, bells, shakers and a xylophone. They make loud and fun sounds with their toys. They have a rhythm, a beat that they follow with their toys.
+
+One day, they have a new friend, Lily, who comes to play with them. Lily has a flute, a long and thin toy that makes high and soft sounds. She wants to play music with Anna and Ben, but she does not know their rhythm. She plays her flute whenever she wants, and it does not match the drums, bells, shakers and xylophone.
+
+Anna and Ben do not like the flute sound. They think it is too different and too quiet. They tell Lily to stop playing her flute. They say, "Lily, you are not playing with us. You are playing by yourself. You do not have our rhythm. You have to separate from us. Go play somewhere else."
+
+Lily feels sad and hurt. She likes her flute and she wants to play with Anna and Ben. She says, "But I want to play with you. I like your toys and your sounds. I want to have your rhythm. Can you teach me? Can we play together?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They think about what they said to Lily. They feel sorry and mean. They say, "We are sorry, Lily. We were not nice to you. You can play with us. You can play your flute. We can teach you our rhythm. We can also learn your rhythm. We can make new sounds together. We can be glad and have fun."
+Tom and Anna like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They pretend to be drivers and go fast.
+
+One day, Tom wants to speed with his red car. He says to Anna, "Let me go first. My car is faster than yours. I want to win the race."
+
+Anna does not like this. She says, "No, Tom. That is not fair. We have to take turns. You went first yesterday. Today is my turn. My car is also fast. I can win too."
+
+Tom and Anna start to argue. They both want to go first. They do not listen to each other. They push and pull their cars. They knock down the roads and bridges. They make a big mess.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Anna fighting. She sees the cars and blocks and books everywhere. She is worried. She says, "Stop, Tom and Anna. What are you doing? Why are you not playing nicely?"
+
+Tom and Anna stop. They look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We wanted to speed with our cars. We wanted to win the race. We did not share. We did not wait. We were not patient."
+
+Mom says, "I understand. Speeding is fun. Winning is fun. But sharing and waiting are also important. They are part of being friends. They make playing more fun. You have to be patient and fair with each other. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We can do that. We can be patient and fair. We can share and wait. We can be friends."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Good. I am glad. Now, can you please clean up the mess? Then you can play again. But this time, no speeding. Just have fun."
+
+Tom and Anna say, "Okay, Mom. We will clean up. We will play again. We will have fun. Thank you, Mom."

+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "It is very dark. I can't see well."
+
+They see a big truck with bright lights. The truck has a long arm with a hook. The truck stops near their house. The arm moves up and down. It raises a big box from the ground. The box has a picture of a lion on it.
+
+"Wow!" Sara says. "Look, Ben! It is a lion box!"
+
+"Maybe it has a lion inside," Ben says. "Do you think it is for us?"

+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+Their dad takes them outside. He shows them the lion box. He opens it. Inside, there is a big stuffed lion. It is soft and fluffy. It has a red bow around its neck.
+
+"This is for you, Sara and Ben," their dad says. "I know you love lions. I saw this at the store and I thought you would like it. It is a special lion. It can roar and move its tail. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Sara and Ben are very happy. They hug their dad and thank him. They hug the lion and press its paw. The lion roars and wags its tail. Sara and Ben laugh and play with the lion. They are not scared of the dark anymore. They have a new friend. They have fun.
+Tom had a toy boat that he liked to sail in the bath. The boat was made of wood and had a white wool sail. Tom was careful not to get the wool wet, because he knew it would shrink and make the sail smaller.
+
+One day, Tom wanted to sail his boat outside, in the big pond. He asked his mom if he could go, and she said yes, but he had to wear his coat and boots, and stay close to her. Tom was happy and ran to get his boat and his coat and boots.
+
+They went to the pond, and Tom saw many ducks and fish and frogs. He wanted to sail his boat with them, and he put it in the water. He held the string that was tied to the boat, and made it go fast and slow and turn and stop. He had fun and laughed.
+
+But then, a big wind came and blew the boat away. Tom tried to pull the string, but it broke. He saw his boat sail far and far, until he could not see it anymore. He was sad and cried.
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. The wind was too strong. Maybe we can find your boat later, or make a new one. Let's go home and have some hot chocolate."
+
+Tom nodded and wiped his tears. He was still sad, but he felt a little better. He hoped his boat was safe and dry, and that the ducks and fish and frogs were nice to it. He said goodbye to the pond, and went home with his mom.
+Tom is a pupil at a big school. He likes to learn new things and play with his friends. He also likes to draw and paint with many colors.
+
+One day, he sees a yellow crayon on the floor. He picks it up and thinks it is very pretty. He wants to own it and use it for his drawings. He puts it in his pocket and goes to his class.
+
+But when he sits at his desk, he sees that Anna, the girl next to him, is looking for something. She looks sad and worried. She asks Tom, "Have you seen my yellow crayon? I lost it on the way to the class. It is my favorite crayon and I need it for my painting."
+
+Tom feels bad. He knows he has Anna's crayon in his pocket. He likes the crayon, but he does not want to make Anna sad. He remembers that sharing is caring. He takes out the crayon and gives it to Anna. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I found your crayon on the floor and I wanted to own it. But I know it is yours and you love it. Here, you can have it back."
+
+Anna smiles and hugs Tom. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind and honest. I'm happy you are my friend. Do you want to share my crayon and paint with me?"
+
+Tom nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, I would like that. I'm happy you are my friend too. Let's paint together and make something beautiful."
+
+They take the yellow crayon and start to paint. They use other colors too and make a sunny picture. They have fun and learn to share. Their teacher sees their picture and praises them. She says, "You are both good pupils and good friends. I'm proud of you."
+Lily and Sam liked to go to the library with their mom. They could find many books with pictures and stories. They liked to look at the books and listen to their mom read to them.
+
+One day, they saw a book that was different from the others. It was big and old and had a lock on it. It also had a strange glow that made them curious. They wanted to see what was inside the book.
+
+They waited until their mom was busy with another book and then they sneaked to the shelf where the book was. They tried to pull the book out, but it was very heavy and tough. They used all their strength and finally got the book out. But they also made a lot of noise and the lock broke.
+
+The book opened and a loud voice came out of it. It was angry and scary. It said, "Who dares to touch my book? You have broken the seal and released me. Now you will pay for your foolishness!"
+
+Lily and Sam were very scared and sorry. They wanted to run away, but they could not move. The voice said, "You will be my slaves forever. You will never see your mom or the library again. You will only serve me and do what I say."
+
+Lily and Sam cried and wished they had never touched the book. They learned that they should not be greedy and nosy. They should listen to their mom and respect the books. But it was too late. The book had taken them away.

+Ben and Lily were having breakfast with Mom and Dad. They liked to eat oat with milk and honey. Oat was good for them, Mom said. It made them strong and smart.
+
+But today, the oat was smelly. Ben and Lily did not want to eat it. They made faces and pushed their bowls away. Mom and Dad smelled the oat and made faces too.
+
+"Yuck, what is wrong with the oat?" Mom asked.
+
+Dad looked at the box of oat. He saw a hole in it. He opened the box and saw something brown and furry inside. It was a mouse. The mouse had eaten some of the oat and made it smelly.
+
+Dad explained to Ben and Lily what he found. He said the mouse was bad and had spoiled their breakfast. He said they had to throw away the oat and the box and get a new one.
+
+Ben and Lily were curious about the mouse. They wanted to see it. But Mom and Dad said no. They said the mouse was dirty and could make them sick. They said they had to wash their hands and get ready for school.
+
+Ben and Lily were sad and disappointed. They liked oat, but not smelly oat. They hoped the mouse would not come back and ruin their food again. They wished they had something else to eat for breakfast.

+
+"I'm making mud pies," said the boy. "Do you want to help me mix the dirt and water?"

When he got home, he showed his mom the rubber ball he wanted to buy. She smiled and told him maybe he could save up for it next time. Timmy was happy he got to go to the store all by himself.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys all day long. One day, she was playing with her favorite toy, a teddy bear, when it slipped out of her hand and fell on the floor. "Oops, I was clumsy," Lily said to her teddy bear.
+
+Suddenly, Lily's little brother came in the room and wanted to play too. He saw Lily's teddy bear on the floor and picked it up. "Can I play with your teddy bear, Lily?" he asked. "Sure," Lily replied.
+
+But as Lily's brother was playing with the teddy bear, he accidentally snapped off its arm. "Oh no, what happened?" Lily cried out. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," her brother said.
+
+Lily was sad that her teddy bear was broken, but she forgave her brother. "It's okay, accidents happen," she said with a smile. And from that day on, Lily and her brother learned to be more careful when they played with their toys.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to eat spaghetti. She ate it every day for lunch and dinner. One day, her mom made something unusual for dinner instead of spaghetti. Lily didn't like it and said, "I disagree, Mommy. Can we have spaghetti instead?"
+
+Mommy said, "No, Lily. We can't have spaghetti every day. It's good to try new things."
+
+Lily didn't want to try new things. She wanted spaghetti. She was sad and didn't want to eat the unusual food. But then, she tried a little bite and realized it wasn't so bad after all. She smiled and said, "Mommy, this is actually pretty good. But can we still have spaghetti tomorrow?" 
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. We can have spaghetti tomorrow." And they both laughed and enjoyed their dinner together.
+Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play outside in the woods. One day, he went on a walk and found a mushroom. It was big and red and looked yummy. But Timmy didn't know if it was safe to eat, so he left it there.
+
+As Timmy was walking back home, he saw a man who looked sad. The man told Timmy that he had lost his wallet and he was very upset. Timmy felt bad for the man and wanted to help him. He looked around and found the wallet on the ground. The man was so happy and grateful that he gave Timmy a lot of money. Timmy felt wealthy and proud.
+
+When Timmy got home, he told his mom about the mushroom and the man's wallet. His mom was proud of him for being so kind and helpful. They decided to go back to the woods and pick the mushroom together. They cooked it for dinner and it was delicious. Timmy felt happy and grateful for his mom and for the good things that happened that day.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to eat strawberries because they tasted so sweet. One day, Lily's mom bought her a big basket of strawberries from the store. Lily was so happy and ate one strawberry after another.
+
+Suddenly, something foolish happened. Lily accidentally dropped the basket of strawberries on the floor and they all spilled out. She felt sad and started to cry. But then her mom came and hugged her, saying that it was okay and they could go buy more strawberries together.
+
+Lily smiled and felt happy again. She knew that even if something foolish happened, her mom would always be there to help her. And she couldn't wait to eat more delicious strawberries!
+Tim and Lily were playing in the garden with their water guns. They liked to spray each other and make each other wet. They laughed and ran around the grass and the flowers.
+
+"Spray, spray, spray!" Tim shouted as he aimed his water gun at Lily.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Lily cried as she dodged the water. "You are too fast!"
+
+Lily saw a big hose near the tap. She had a thoughtful idea. She ran to the hose and turned on the tap. She picked up the hose and pointed it at Tim.
+
+"Spray, spray, spray!" Lily shouted as she sprayed Tim with the hose. The water was strong and cold.
+
+"Wow, wow, wow!" Tim screamed as he got soaked by the hose. He dropped his water gun and covered his face. "That is not fair!"
+
+Lily giggled and sprayed Tim some more. She saw that Tim's stomach was wet and shiny. She thought he looked funny. She stopped spraying and said, "Sorry, Tim. I was just playing."
+
+Tim opened his eyes and saw Lily smiling. He was not angry. He was just wet. He smiled back and said, "It's okay, Lily. I was just playing too."
+
+They hugged and laughed. They were still friends. They decided to go inside and get some towels. They liked to play with water, but they also liked to be dry and warm.
+Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They found a big anchor in the sand. It was rusty and heavy.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "It must be from a big boat."
+
+"Can we keep it?" Lily asked. "It is cute."
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, we can't. It is too big and dirty. And it belongs to someone else."
+
+"Who?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Maybe a fisherman or a sailor. They need anchors to stop their boats from moving in the water. If we take it, they will be sad and lost."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She did not want to make anyone sad or lost. She wanted to be kind and fair.
+
+"Then what can we do?" she asked.
+
+Ben had an idea. "We can send it back to them. We can write a note and tie it to the anchor. Then we can push it into the water and hope it finds its way to them."
+
+Lily liked the idea. She found a piece of paper and a crayon. She wrote: "We found your anchor. We hope you are happy and safe. Love, Lily and Ben." She tied the note to the anchor with a string.
+
+Together, they pushed the anchor into the water. It sank slowly and disappeared.
+
+"Bye, anchor!" they waved. "Have a good trip!"
+
+They felt good about what they did. They learned that it is better to share than to keep things that are not yours. They also learned that it is fun to send messages to new friends. They smiled and hugged each other. Then they went to look for more treasures on the beach.
+Lily and Ben wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found a book with a picture of a cake and some words. They tried to read the words, but some were too hard. They only knew some words, like "flour", "sugar", "eggs" and "butter".
+
+They got a big bowl and put some flour and sugar in it. They did not know how much to put, so they just guessed. Then they cracked some eggs and poured them in the bowl. They mixed everything with a spoon. It looked like a mess.
+
+They saw the word "measure" in the book. They did not know what it meant. They asked Dad, who was in the living room. Dad came to the kitchen and saw the bowl. He smiled and said, "Measure means to use a cup or a spoon to get the right amount of something. You need to measure the flour, the sugar, the eggs and the butter, or the cake will not be good."
+
+He showed them how to use a cup and a spoon to measure the flour and the sugar. He said they needed four eggs, not six. He took out some butter from the fridge and cut a piece. He said they needed half a cup of butter, not a whole stick. He put the butter in a small pot and put it on the stove. He said they needed to melt the butter, or make it soft and runny.
+
+Lily and Ben watched the butter melt. It looked like yellow water. They smelled it. It smelled good. They wanted to taste it, but Dad said no. He said it was too hot and they could burn their tongues. He poured the melted butter into the bowl and mixed it with the other things. He said they needed to add one more thing: vanilla. He said vanilla was a sweet liquid that made the cake taste better. He got a small bottle and opened it. He gave it to Lily and said, "You can measure the vanilla. You only need a little bit. Use this dull knife to get some from the bottle. A dull knife is not sharp and will not cut you. Be careful not to spill it."
+
+Lily took the dull knife and the bottle. She put the knife in the bottle and got some vanilla on it. She put the knife in the bowl and scraped the vanilla off. She did it again and again, until she thought it was enough. She gave the bottle and the knife back to Dad. He said, "Good job, Lily. You measured the vanilla very well. Now we can bake the cake."
+
+He got a pan and sprayed some oil on it. He said the oil would make the cake not stick to the pan. He poured the batter from the bowl into the pan. He said the batter was what they made in the bowl. He put the pan in the oven and turned it on. He said the oven would make the batter into a cake. He said they had to wait for 30 minutes.
+
+Lily and Ben waited for the cake. They cleaned the bowl and the spoon and the cup and the knife. They washed their hands. They played with their toys. They smelled the cake. It smelled very good. They were excited to eat it.
+
+After 30 minutes, Dad took the cake out of the oven. He said it was done. He put it on a rack to cool down. He said they could not eat it yet, because it was too hot. He said they could decorate it with frosting and sprinkles. He said frosting was a sweet and creamy thing that they could spread on the cake. He said sprinkles were small and colorful things that they could sprinkle on the frosting. He got a can of frosting and a bag of sprinkles from the cupboard. He gave them to Lily and Ben. He said, "You can decorate the cake however you like. Have fun."
+
+Lily and Ben decorated the cake. They spread the frosting on the cake with a knife. They sprinkled the sprinkles on the frosting. They made patterns and shapes and letters. They wrote "Mom" on the cake. They were proud of their cake. They showed it to Dad. He said, "Wow, you made a beautiful cake. Mom will love it. You are very good bakers."
+
+They waited for Mom to come home. They hid the cake in the kitchen. They heard Mom's car in the driveway. They ran to the door and hugged her. They said, "Mom, we have a surprise for you. Come to the kitchen."
+
+Mom followed them to the kitchen. She saw the cake on the table. She gasped and said, "Oh, my goodness. Did you make this cake for me? It looks amazing. Thank you so much. You are so sweet and thoughtful."
+
+She hugged them and kissed them. She cut a slice of cake for each of them.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a book. But she wanted a new toy, a mouse. She saw a mouse in the shop window and it was very cute. It had a pink nose, a long tail and soft fur. It could run and squeak and make funny noises.
+
+Lily asked her mom, "Can I have the mouse, please? It is not a lot of money. It is cheap."
+
+Her mom looked at the price tag and shook her head. "No, Lily, we cannot buy the mouse. It is not cheap. It is too much money. We have to save money for other things, like food and clothes and rent. Maybe you can get the mouse for your birthday, if you are good."
+
+Lily felt sad. She really wanted the mouse. She hoped that her mom would change her mind. She hoped that her birthday would come soon. She hoped that the mouse would still be in the shop window.
+
+The next day, Lily and her mom walked by the shop again. Lily looked at the window and saw the mouse. But it was not alone. There was another mouse next to it, a brown one. They were cuddling and kissing and playing. Lily smiled. She thought that the mouse had a friend. She thought that the mouse was happy.
+
+She said to her mom, "Look, mom, the mouse has a friend. They are so cute. I don't want the mouse anymore. I want them to stay together. They love each other."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "You are a very kind and sweet girl, Lily. I am proud of you. You have a big heart. Maybe we can find another toy for you, a toy that is lonely and needs a friend. Would you like that?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I would like that. Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+They walked away from the shop, holding hands. Lily felt happy. She hoped that she would find a new toy, a toy that would love her. She hoped that the mouse and his friend would always be happy. She hoped that everyone would have a friend.
+Lila and Ben are twins who love to play with their toy planes. They like to make them soar in the air and pretend they are pilots. One day, they find a big can of tuna in the kitchen. They think it looks like a plane too, so they take it to their room.
+
+"Look, Ben, we have a new plane!" Lila says. "It is shiny and round and has a picture of a fish on it."
+
+"Let me see, let me see!" Ben says. He grabs the can from Lila and tries to make it soar. But the can is heavy and falls to the floor with a loud bang.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Lila says. She is angry and tries to take the can from Ben. They start to pull and push and shout.
+
+"Mine, mine, mine!" Ben says.
+
+"No, mine, mine, mine!" Lila says.
+
+They are so busy fighting that they do not hear their mom coming. She opens the door and sees the mess. She sees the can of tuna, the toy planes, and the twins.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asks. She is not happy. She picks up the can of tuna and reads the label. "This is not a plane, this is food. You are not supposed to play with food. You are supposed to eat it."
+
+She takes the can of tuna and the toy planes and puts them away. She tells the twins to say sorry to each other and to clean up their room. She says they can have some tuna for lunch if they are good.
+
+Lila and Ben feel bad. They say sorry to each other and hug. They say sorry to their mom and help her clean up. They decide to share their toys and not fight anymore. They hope they can still play with their planes later. They also hope the tuna tastes good.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with paper. They cut paper, fold paper, and draw on paper. Sometimes they make paper hats or paper planes.
+
+One day, they find a big paper in the corner of the room. It is not regular paper. It is shiny and colorful. It has many shapes and letters on it. Tom and Lily are curious. They want to see what is on the paper.
+
+They go to the paper and look at it. They see a picture of a cake with candles. They see a word that says "Happy Birthday". They see a name that says "Anna". They think it is a paper for a party.
+
+"Who is Anna?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe she is a friend of our teacher." Lily says.
+
+"Maybe we can go to her party." Tom says.
+
+They hear a noise. It is the teacher. She is coming back to the room. Tom and Lily are scared. They think the teacher will be angry if she sees them with the paper.
+
+They hide the paper under a table. They sit on their chairs and pretend to read a book. They whisper to each other.
+
+"Shh, don't talk. The teacher will hear us." Lily whispers.
+
+"OK, OK. But can we keep the paper? It is so pretty." Tom whispers.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we can ask the teacher later." Lily whispers.
+
+They wait for the teacher to come. They hope she will not find the paper. They hope they can go to Anna's party. They hope the teacher will not be angry. They hope the paper will not tear. They hope they will not get in trouble. They hope they will have fun with the paper.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Lila has a doll and Ben has a truck. They share their toys sometimes, but not always.
+
+One day, Lila wants to play with Ben's truck. She asks him, "Ben, can I play with your truck, please?"
+
+Ben says, "No, Lila, this is my truck. You have your doll. Go play with your doll."
+
+Lila feels sad. She says, "But I like your truck. It is big and tough. It can go fast and make noise. Please, Ben, let me play with your truck for a little bit."
+
+Ben says, "No, Lila, you can't. You are a girl. Girls don't play with trucks. Trucks are for boys. Go away, Lila."
+
+Lila gets angry. She says, "That is not fair, Ben. Girls can play with trucks too. Trucks are fun. You are mean, Ben. You don't share your toys."
+
+Ben says, "I don't care, Lila. This is my truck and you can't have it. Go away or I will tell Mom."
+
+Lila thinks of a plan. She says, "OK, Ben, I will go away. But can I have a hug first? I love you, Ben. You are my brother."
+
+Ben says, "OK, Lila, I love you too. You are my sister. Come here and give me a hug."
+
+Lila hugs Ben, but she also grabs his truck with her left hand. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are so nice. Bye, Ben."
+
+Lila runs away with the truck. Ben sees what she did. He says, "Hey, Lila, that is not fair. You took my truck. Give it back, Lila. Give it back."
+
+Lila says, "No, Ben, this is my truck now. You didn't share your truck with me. So I took it. Ha ha, Lila."
+
+Ben cries. He says, "Mom, Mom, Lila took my truck. She is bad, Mom. She is bad."
+
+Mom hears Ben and Lila. She comes to the living room. She sees Lila with the truck and Ben with the doll. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over the toys? Why are you crying, Ben? Why are you laughing, Lila?"
+
+Lila and Ben tell Mom what happened. Mom says, "Lila, that was not nice of you to take Ben's truck. You should ask him nicely and wait for your turn. Ben, that was not nice of you to say no to Lila. You should share your toys and let her play with your truck. You both need to say sorry to each other and hug. Then you can play with the toys together. Do you understand?"
+
+Lila and Ben say, "Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, Lila. We are sorry, Ben."
+
+Lila and Ben hug each other and say, "I love you, Lila. I love you, Ben."
+
+Mom says, "That's good, Lila and Ben. I love you too. Now, let's play with the toys together. You can take turns and have fun. OK?"
+
+Lila and Ben say, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom."
+
+Lila and Ben play with the toys together. They share the truck and the doll. They have fun. They are happy. Mom is happy too. The end.
+Anna loved to print. She had many papers and colors to make pictures. She liked to print flowers, animals, and stars. She wanted to be a painter when she grew up.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a man with a big canvas and a brush. He was painting a beautiful scene of the lake and the trees. Anna was amazed. She wanted to see more.
+
+She walked up to the man and said, "Hello, mister. You are a painter. I like your picture. It is very pretty."
+
+The man smiled and said, "Thank you, little girl. I am glad you like it. You are very polite. Do you like to paint too?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I print with papers and colors. I have many pictures at home. I want to be a painter like you."
+
+The man was impressed. He said, "You are very gifted, little girl. You have a lot of talent and imagination. Do you want to learn more about painting?"
+
+Anna was excited. She said, "Yes, please. Can you teach me?"
+
+The man said, "Sure, I can. Come, sit next to me. I will show you how to mix colors, how to use the brush, and how to make shapes. You can also help me finish this picture. It will be our gift to the park."
+
+Anna was happy. She sat next to the man and learned a lot. She helped him paint the sky, the water, and the flowers. They had a lot of fun. They made a beautiful picture together. They were both proud.
+
+They hung the picture on a tree and wrote their names on it. They hoped that other people would enjoy it too. They became friends. Anna thanked the man for teaching her. The man thanked Anna for helping him. They hugged and said goodbye. Anna went back to her mom with a big smile. She had a wonderful day. She had learned a lot. She had made a new friend. She had been a painter.
+Sara likes to sing. She sings in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sings to her toys, to her mom, and to her dad. She sings when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored.
+
+One day, Sara finds a pack of gum in her mom's purse. She thinks gum is candy. She takes one piece and puts it in her mouth. She likes the sweet taste. She takes another piece and puts it in her mouth. She likes the soft feel. She takes another piece and puts it in her mouth. She likes the big bubble.
+
+She goes to her room and sings with the gum in her mouth. She sings loud and proud. She sings her favorite song. She blows a big bubble with the gum. The bubble pops and sticks to her face. She tries to pull it off, but it is sticky. She cries.
+
+Mom hears Sara crying and runs to her room. She sees Sara with gum on her face. She is not happy. She says, "Sara, what did you do? That is not candy, that is gum. You should not take things from my purse. You should not put so much gum in your mouth. You should not sing with gum in your mouth. You made a big mess."
+
+Sara feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I like to sing. I like gum. I did not know it was bad. Can you help me?"
+
+Mom hugs Sara and says, "It's okay, Sara. I love you. I love your singing. But you have to be careful with gum. It can make your teeth black. It can stick to your hair. It can ruin your clothes. Let me help you get it off your face. Next time, ask me before you take anything from my purse. And only have one piece of gum at a time. And spit it out before you sing."
+
+Sara nods and says, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you too. Can I still sing?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Of course, you can still sing. But not with gum in your mouth. Sing with your voice. Sing with your heart. Sing with your smile."
+Anna and Ben were playing with their bikes in the park. They liked to ride fast and do tricks. They always wore their helmets to be safe. Anna had a pink helmet with flowers. Ben had a blue helmet with stars.
+
+"Look, Anna, I can load my bike on the slide and go down!" Ben said. He pushed his bike up the steps and put it on the slide. He climbed on the bike and got ready to slide.
+
+"Ben, that's not a good idea!" Anna said. "You might fall and get hurt. The slide is not for bikes. It's for people."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He slid down the slide on his bike. He went very fast and felt happy. But then he saw a cute dog at the end of the slide. The dog was playing with a ball and did not see Ben.
+
+"Watch out, doggy!" Ben shouted. But it was too late. Ben and his bike crashed into the dog. They all tumbled to the ground. Ben's helmet flew off his head. The dog yelped and ran away. Ben started to cry.
+
+Anna ran to Ben and hugged him. She checked if he was okay. He had a scratch on his knee and a bump on his head. He was very sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. I'm sorry, doggy. I was silly. I should have listened to you. The slide is not for bikes. It's for people." Ben said.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you're not badly hurt. Next time, be more careful. And always wear your helmet. It can save you from big ouchies." Anna said.
+
+She helped him get up and put his helmet back on. They walked their bikes to the bench and sat down. They ate some cookies and drank some juice. They watched the cute dog play with his ball. They hoped he was not angry with them. They learned their lesson. The slide is not for bikes. It's for people.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a huge slide. It is very tall and shiny. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Anna says. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder.
+
+"No, Anna, it is too high. I don't want to go." Ben says. He stays on the ground and watches Anna.
+
+Anna reaches the top of the slide. She sits down and holds the zipper of her jacket. She likes the sound of the zipper. She zips it up and down, up and down.
+
+"Are you ready, Anna?" Ben shouts.
+
+"Yes, I am ready!" Anna shouts back. She zips up her jacket and lies down on the slide. She slides down very fast. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs and screams.
+
+"Wow, that was awesome!" Anna says when she reaches the bottom. She jumps up and runs to Ben.
+
+"Did you see me, Ben? Did you see how fast I was?" Anna asks.
+
+"Yes, I saw you, Anna. You were very fast. And brave." Ben says.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. Do you want to try it now?" Anna asks.
+
+Ben looks at the slide. He still feels scared, but he also feels curious. He sees Anna's smile and hears her laugh. He thinks maybe it is not so bad.
+
+"Okay, Anna. I will try it. But you have to go with me." Ben says.
+
+"Okay, Ben. I will go with you. We can slide together." Anna says.
+
+They hold hands and climb up the ladder. They sit down and zip up their jackets. They lie down on the slide. They slide down very fast. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their face. They laugh and scream.
+
+They reach the bottom and hug each other.
+
+"That was fun, Anna. That was fun, Ben." They say.
+
+They are happy. They are friends. They like the slide. They like the zipper. They like the park.
+Lily was hungry. She wanted a snack. She went to the kitchen and saw a big bowl of cookies on the table. They looked yummy. She reached for one, but her mom stopped her.
+
+"No, Lily, you can't have a cookie now. It's almost dinner time. You have to wait," her mom said.
+
+Lily was angry. She did not want to wait. She wanted a cookie now. She stamped her feet and shouted.
+
+"I want a cookie! I want a cookie! Give me a cookie!" she demanded.
+
+Her mom was not happy. She did not like Lily's rude words and loud voice. She picked up Lily and carried her to her room.
+
+"You need a time out, Lily. You have to learn to be polite and patient. And honest. You know you are not supposed to have cookies before dinner. You can have one after, if you eat your veggies," her mom said.
+
+She put Lily on her bed and closed the door. Lily cried. She felt sorry. She knew her mom was right. She had been naughty and greedy. She wished she had been nice and honest. She decided to say sorry to her mom and eat her veggies. Maybe then she could have a cookie. She hoped her mom would forgive her. She hoped the cookies would still be there.
+Lily was a big girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of toys, but her favorite was a doll named Anna. Anna had long hair, a pretty dress, and a smile. Lily loved to hug Anna and talk to her.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring Anna with her, but mom said no. She said Anna was too big for the car and might get lost. Lily was sad, but she listened to mom. She put Anna on her bed and said goodbye.
+
+When Lily came back from the store, she ran to her room to see Anna. But she got a big shock. Anna was not on the bed. She was on the floor, and she was very small. She was smaller than Lily's hand. Lily did not understand. How did Anna shrink? She picked up Anna and looked at her. Anna still had long hair, a pretty dress, and a smile. But she was tiny.
+
+Lily was scared. She thought Anna was sick or hurt. She cried and called for mom. Mom came and saw what happened. She was surprised, too. She looked at Anna and saw a tag on her dress. The tag said: "Magic doll. Will shrink or grow when you say the words. To make big, say 'big'. To make small, say 'small'."
+
+Mom read the tag to Lily and explained what it meant. She said Lily must have said 'small' by accident when she said goodbye to Anna. She said they could make Anna big again if they said 'big'. Lily was happy. She hugged Anna and said 'big'. Anna grew back to her normal size. Lily was grateful. She thanked mom and kissed Anna. She said she would be more careful with her words. She said she loved Anna and mom. Mom smiled and said she loved Lily and Anna, too. They hugged and played with Anna. Lily was glad her doll was not sick or hurt. She was glad she had a magic doll. She thought it was fun.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the jungle near their home. The jungle has many trees, flowers, and animals. Lila and Tom have a secret spot where they hide and pretend to be explorers.
+
+One day, they meet an elderly man in the jungle. He has a long beard, a hat, and a backpack. He says he is looking for a treasure. He asks Lila and Tom if they want to help him. Lila and Tom are curious and excited. They say yes.
+
+The elderly man leads them to a big cave. He says the treasure is inside. He gives them a flashlight and tells them to go first. Lila and Tom enter the cave. It is dark and scary. They hear strange noises. They see shiny things on the walls. They think they are close to the treasure.
+
+But then, they hear a loud roar. They turn around and see a big lion. The lion is angry and hungry. It blocks the way out. Lila and Tom are terrified. They scream for help. They wonder where the elderly man is.
+
+The elderly man is outside the cave. He has a big smile on his face. He says to himself, "I have tricked them. They are not explorers. They are my lunch. I have been looking for a treasure for a long time. And today, I have found it." He laughs and waits for the lion to finish. He does not know that Lila and Tom have a secret weapon. They have a whistle. They blow the whistle as loud as they can. The whistle makes a high-pitched sound. The sound hurts the lion's ears. The lion runs away. Lila and Tom run out of the cave. They see the elderly man. They are angry and sad. They tell him he is a bad man. They run away from him. They go back to their home. They hug their parents. They are safe and happy. They have learned a lesson. They have to be careful in the jungle. They have to be careful with strangers. They have to stick together. They are still friends. They still like to play in the jungle. But they never go near the cave again.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their bows and arrows. They make them from sticks and string and feathers. They pretend to be hunters in the forest. They look for animals and birds to shoot.
+
+One day, they see a big deer in the grass. It has brown fur and long horns. Lily and Ben are very excited. They hide behind a tree and get ready to shoot. Lily pulls her string back and aims. She lets go of her arrow.
+
+But the arrow does not fly straight. It flies up in the air and then falls down. It lands on Ben's head. Ben says "Ow!" and drops his bow. He rubs his head and frowns. He is not happy.
+
+Lily says "Sorry, Ben. I did not mean to hit you. Are you okay?" She runs to him and gives him a hug. She picks up his bow and arrow and gives them back to him.
+
+Ben smiles and says "It's okay, Lily. It was an accident. You are still my friend. But next time, be more careful. You need to be strong and steady to shoot well."
+
+Lily nods and says "You are right, Ben. I will practice more. You are a good shooter. You are strong and steady. Maybe you can teach me how to shoot better."
+
+Ben says "Sure, Lily. I will help you. Come on, let's try again. Maybe we can still catch the deer."
+
+They pick up their bows and arrows and run after the deer. They have fun playing in the forest. They are good friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they want to play with their toys in the garden. But first, they have to prepare.
+
+Lily and Ben go to their rooms. They pick their favorite toys. Lily chooses a doll, a tea set, and a book. Ben chooses a car, a ball, and a hat. They put their toys in a big bag.
+
+They go to the kitchen. They ask their moms for some snacks. Their moms give them some apples, crackers, and juice. They say thank you and put their snacks in the bag.
+
+They go to the garden. They find a nice spot under a tree. They spread a blanket on the grass. They take out their toys and their snacks. They are ready to play.
+
+Lily and Ben have a great time. They pretend to have a tea party with the doll. They roll the ball and chase the car. They read the book and wear the hat. They laugh and share their snacks. They are happy.
+
+Lily and Ben love to play together. They are good friends. They say goodbye and hug each other. They promise to play again soon. They go back to their homes with their moms. They are tired but they smile. They had a great day.
+Ben liked to watch the big boats in the harbor. He liked the colors and the sounds and the people. He wanted to go on a boat someday and see new places. But his mom said no, boats were not for little boys. She said they were too far and too dangerous and too expensive. Ben was sad and angry. He did not understand why his mom was so mean.
+
+One day, Ben saw a small boat near the shore. It was not like the big boats. It was old and dirty and had holes in it. But Ben did not care. He thought it was his chance to go on a boat. He waited until his mom was busy and ran to the boat. He climbed inside and looked around. He saw a rope and a stick and a bucket. He pretended he was a captain and the boat was his ship.
+
+But Ben did not know that the boat was not tied to anything. He did not know that the water was moving. He did not know that the tide was rising. He did not know that he was drifting away from the harbor. He was too busy playing and dreaming. He did not notice the wind and the waves and the clouds. He did not hear his mom calling his name.
+
+Soon, Ben realized he was in trouble. He looked out and saw that the harbor was far away. He saw that the water was deep and dark and scary. He saw that the boat was leaking and shaking and sinking. He felt cold and wet and afraid. He cried and screamed and wished he was home. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had never gone on the boat.
+
+But it was too late. The boat was too old and the water was too strong. The boat broke and Ben fell into the water. He did not know how to swim. He did not know what to do. He thought he was going to die. He closed his eyes and prayed.
+
+But then, he felt something grab him. He opened his eyes and saw a man. The man was wearing a bright jacket and a big hat. He had a rope and a radio. He was a rescuer. He had seen Ben on the boat and came to help. He pulled Ben out of the water and wrapped him in a blanket. He spoke to Ben and calmed him down. He took Ben back to the harbor and to his mom.
+
+Ben was happy and relieved. He hugged his mom and said he was sorry. He said he would never go on a boat again. He said he loved her and thanked her. He also thanked the rescuer and said he was brave and kind. He said he was his hero.
+
+The rescuer smiled and said he was glad he was there. He said he was just doing his job. He said he was an ordinary man. But Ben did not think so. He thought he was extraordinary. He thought he was the best man in the world. He thought he was lucky to be alive. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that boats were not for little boys. He learned that his mom was right. He learned that he should always listen to her. He learned that he should be careful and grateful and happy. He learned that life was precious and fragile and wonderful. He learned that he was loved.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big house with a red door. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go in," Tom said. "Maybe there are toys or candy."
+
+Sara was nervous. She saw a sign that said "Keep out". She did not want to get in trouble.
+
+"No, Tom, we can't. It's not our house. It's rude to go in," Sara said.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran to the door and tried to open it. It was locked. He saw a key under a flower pot. He took the key and put it in the lock. He turned it and heard a click. He raised the door handle and pushed the door.
+
+"Come on, Sara, don't be scared. It will be fun," Tom said.
+
+Sara followed Tom. She did not want to be alone. She hoped no one would see them. They went inside the house. It was dark and dusty. There were no toys or candy. There were only old things and spider webs.
+
+"Tom, this is not fun. This is creepy. Let's go back," Sara said.
+
+But Tom did not want to go back. He wanted to explore. He saw a door with a sign that said "Do not enter". He was curious. He opened the door and went in. Sara followed him.
+
+Inside the door, there was a big cage. In the cage, there was a big dog. The dog was angry. It saw Tom and Sara. It barked and growled. It wanted to bite them.
+
+"Tom, look, a dog! It's not nice. It's mean. Let's run!" Sara said.
+
+But Tom did not run. He wanted to pet the dog. He thought the dog was lonely. He reached his hand to the cage. The dog snapped at his hand. It bit his finger. Tom screamed. He felt pain. He was scared.
+
+Sara was scared too. She wanted to help Tom. She wanted to get out. She ran to the door. She tried to open it. It was locked. She saw a sign that said "Danger. Beware of the dog". She did not understand. She cried. She was trapped.
+Sara and Tom are playing in the garden. They see a big ladder near the wall. They want to climb the ladder and see what is on the other side.
+
+"Can we go up the ladder?" Sara asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is not safe. Maybe Mom and Dad will be mad," Tom says.
+
+But Sara is curious and brave. She goes to the ladder and starts to climb. Tom follows her. They go up and up until they reach the top.
+
+They look over the wall and see a big dog. The dog is black and white and has a long tail. The dog sees them and barks.
+
+"Wow, look at the dog!" Sara says.
+
+"Is he friendly or mean?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's say hello," Sara says.
+
+She waves at the dog and says, "Hi, dog! We are Sara and Tom. We are your neighbors. What is your name?"
+
+The dog stops barking and wags his tail. He looks happy and friendly. He says, "Woof, woof! I am Spot. I am glad to meet you. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Sara and Tom smile and nod. They sit on the wall and throw a ball to Spot. Spot runs and catches the ball and brings it back. They have fun playing with Spot.
+
+They are so busy playing that they do not hear Mom and Dad calling them. Mom and Dad come to the garden and see them on the wall.
+
+"Sara! Tom! What are you doing up there?" Mom and Dad shout.
+
+Sara and Tom look down and see Mom and Dad. They are surprised and scared.
+
+"Sorry, Mom and Dad. We were just playing with Spot. He is a friendly dog," Sara says.
+
+"Come down right now. It is not safe to climb the ladder. You could fall and hurt yourself. And you should not talk to strange dogs. They could bite you," Mom and Dad say.
+
+Sara and Tom say goodbye to Spot and climb down the ladder. They hug Mom and Dad and say sorry. Mom and Dad are angry but also relieved. They tell Sara and Tom to be careful and not to do that again.
+
+Sara and Tom promise to listen to Mom and Dad. They also hope to see Spot again. He is a friendly dog.
+Anna and Ben liked to observe the animals in the park. They saw birds, squirrels, dogs and cats. Sometimes they saw a hedge that moved. They wondered what was inside the hedge.
+
+One day, they decided to find out. They walked slowly to the hedge and peeked behind it. They saw a big, brown, furry animal with a long nose and a bushy tail. It was a badger. The badger saw them and made a loud noise. Anna and Ben were scared and ran away.
+
+The next day, they came back to the park with their friend Leo. Leo was brave and playful. He wanted to see the badger too. He brought a ball and threw it over the hedge. The badger came out and chased the ball. Leo laughed and ran after the badger. Anna and Ben followed him. They saw the badger was not mean, but playful. They played with the badger and the ball. They had fun and made a new friend.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a dove on a tree. The dove was white and pretty.
+
+"Look, a dove!" Lily said. "Can we feed it?"
+
+Ben nodded. He had some bread in his pocket. He broke off a piece and threw it to the dove.
+
+The dove flew down and ate the bread. It cooed and flapped its wings.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They liked the dove. They threw more bread to it.
+
+But then a big dog came. The dog saw the dove and barked. It ran to the tree and jumped.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. "Leave the dove alone!"
+
+The dove was scared. It flew away fast. The dog chased it.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted the dove to stay.
+
+They ran to the dog and tried to stop it. But the dog was too strong. It pushed them away.
+
+"Mind, dog!" Lily cried. "You are terrible!"
+
+The dog did not mind. It kept barking and running.
+
+The dove flew over the fence and out of the park. It was safe.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other. They hoped the dove was okay.
+
+They went back to their mom. She saw their faces and asked what happened.
+
+They told her about the dove and the dog.
+
+She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. That was a bad dog. But you were brave and kind. The dove will remember you."
+Lily and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs. They also saw a big jellyfish. It was pink and shiny and had long tentacles.
+
+"Look, a jellyfish!" Lily said. She pointed at it.
+
+"Jellyfish!" Ben repeated. He liked to repeat what Lily said. He was only two years old and did not know many words.
+
+"Be careful, kids. Jellyfish can sting you. Don't touch it," Mom said. She watched them from the blanket.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They did not want to get stung. They looked at the jellyfish from a distance. It floated in the water like a balloon.
+
+"Jellyfish, jellyfish, jellyfish," Ben repeated. He liked the sound of the word.
+
+"Ben, stop it. You are annoying me," Lily said. She was grumpy. She wanted to play something else.
+
+"Jellyfish, jellyfish, jellyfish," Ben repeated. He did not understand why Lily was grumpy. He thought it was fun to repeat words.
+
+Lily got angry. She threw a handful of sand at Ben. Ben cried. He did not like sand in his eyes.
+
+"Hey, hey, hey. What's going on here?" Dad said. He came over and picked up Ben. He wiped the sand from his face.
+
+"Lily threw sand at me. She is mean," Ben said.
+
+"Lily, why did you do that? That's not nice," Dad said.
+
+"Ben was repeating everything I said. He was bothering me," Lily said.
+
+Dad sighed. He knew that Lily and Ben sometimes fought. He tried to calm them down.
+
+"Listen, kids. I know you are both curious and excited about the jellyfish. But you have to respect each other. Lily, you have to be patient with Ben. He is learning new words. Ben, you have to be polite to Lily. She is your big sister. Why don't you say sorry to each other and hug?" Dad said.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry and hugged.
+
+"Good. Now, let's go and have some ice cream. How does that sound?" Dad said.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They liked ice cream. They forgot about the jellyfish and the sand. They followed Dad to the ice cream truck. Mom joined them. They had a happy day at the beach.
+Sara liked to play with her dolls and dress them up. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had a unique dress with a big bow that Sara could tie and untie. Sara loved to make Lily look pretty and happy.
+
+One day, Sara saw a bird outside her window. It was a blue bird with a yellow beak and a long tail. Sara thought the bird was very beautiful and wanted to play with it. She opened the window and called to the bird. "Hello, bird! Do you want to be my friend? I have a doll with a unique dress. You can see her if you come here."
+
+The bird was curious and flew to the window. It saw Lily and liked her dress. It wanted to touch the bow with its beak. Sara was happy and said, "This is Lily. She is my best friend. You can play with her, but be gentle. Don't hurt her or her dress."
+
+The bird nodded and pecked at the bow. It liked the soft fabric and the bright color. It pulled at the bow and untied it. Sara was surprised and said, "No, bird! Don't do that! You are ruining Lily's dress. That is not nice. Please stop!"
+
+The bird did not listen and kept pulling at the bow. It tore the fabric and made a hole in the dress. Sara was sad and angry. She cried and said, "Go away, bird! You are not my friend. You are a bad bird. You hurt Lily and her dress. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+The bird realized that it had done something wrong. It felt sorry and ashamed. It dropped the bow and flew away. It wished it had been more careful and respectful. It learned that it should not ruin other people's things or hurt their feelings.
+
+Moral: We should treat others and their belongings with kindness and respect.
+Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys in their room. One day, they found a big sack in the closet. They opened the sack and saw many old things inside. There were books, clothes, hats, and a teddy bear.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. He took out the teddy bear and hugged it. "This is so soft and cute. I want to keep it."
+
+"No, it's mine!" Sam said. He grabbed the teddy bear from Ben. "I saw it first. It's old, but I like it."
+
+"Give it back!" Ben said. He pulled the teddy bear from Sam. "You have many toys. I don't have a teddy bear. It's not fair."
+
+They both wanted the teddy bear. They fought over it. They yelled and pushed each other. The teddy bear was torn in half. They both cried.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She came to their room. She saw the mess and the broken teddy bear. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom said. "Why are you fighting? Why did you ruin the teddy bear?"
+
+Ben and Sam looked at Mom. They felt sorry. They told Mom what happened.
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "This teddy bear was mine when I was a little girl. It was very special to me. I put it in the sack to give it to you. But you didn't take good care of it. You hurt each other and the teddy bear. That's not nice."
+
+Ben and Sam felt bad. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We didn't know. We wanted the teddy bear. We like it too."
+
+Mom said, "I know you like it. But you have to share and be gentle. The teddy bear is old, but it has a lot of love. You can still fix it and play with it. But you have to say sorry to each other and to the teddy bear first."
+
+Ben and Sam hugged each other and said sorry. They hugged the teddy bear and said sorry. They asked Mom to help them fix the teddy bear. Mom smiled and said, "That's better. I love you both. And I love the teddy bear too." She got some thread and a needle and sewed the teddy bear back together. She gave it to Ben and Sam. They thanked Mom and said they would share and be gentle. They played with the teddy bear and had fun. They learned a lesson. They were happy.
+Ben had a red scooter that he loved very much. He rode it every day in the park with his mom and dad. He liked to go fast and make loud noises with his mouth.
+
+One day, Ben saw a big boy with a blue scooter in the park. The big boy's scooter had two wheels and a shiny bell. Ben wanted to try the blue scooter, but he was too small. The big boy said, "You can't ride my scooter, you are a baby. Go away!"
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He wished he could grow bigger and ride the blue scooter. He asked his mom and dad, "When will I grow? I want to be big like the big boy."
+
+His mom and dad hugged him and said, "You will grow, Ben, but you have to be patient. Growing takes time and you have to eat well and sleep well. You are already big and strong for your age. And you have a wonderful red scooter that you can ride very well. We are proud of you, Ben."
+
+Ben felt a little better. He looked at his red scooter and smiled. He decided to ride it again and have fun. He did not care about the big boy and his blue scooter anymore. He was happy with what he had. He knew he would grow someday, but he also liked being a little boy.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, they saw a big box in the park. The box had many toys inside. They were colorful and shiny. Lily and Tom wanted to have them.
+
+"Look, Tom, a fur bear! It is so soft and brown. I want to take it home," Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily, I want the fur bear. It is mine. You can have the ball. It is colorful and round," Tom said.
+
+They started to fight over the fur bear. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the man who came to the park. He was the owner of the box. He was angry and mean.
+
+"Hey, you little thieves! What are you doing with my toys? They are not for you. They are for the children in the hospital. They are sick and sad. You are bad and selfish. Give me back my toys!" the man yelled.
+
+He grabbed the fur bear from Lily and Tom. He took all the toys from the box. He left them with nothing. Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They had no toys and no friends. They learned a lesson. They should not take what is not theirs. They should share and be kind.
+Ben and Mia liked to draw with ink. They had many colors of ink in small bottles. They used brushes to make pictures on paper. They had fun making shapes, animals and flowers.
+
+One day, they wanted to make a rainbow. They knew a rainbow had many colors. They tried to mix the ink to make new colors. They poured some red ink and some blue ink in a cup. They stirred with a brush. They hoped to make purple ink.
+
+But the ink did not mix well. The red ink and the blue ink stayed separate. They did not make purple ink. They made a mess. The ink spilled on the table and on their clothes.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben said. "Look what we did!"
+
+"Mama will be angry!" Mia said. "How can we clean this?"
+
+They heard a knock on the door. It was Mama. She came to see what they were doing. She saw the ink on the table and on their clothes. She smiled.
+
+"What are you doing, my jolly artists?" she asked.
+
+"We tried to make a rainbow, Mama," Ben said. "But the ink did not mix. It stayed separate."
+
+Mama laughed. "That's OK, my loves. Ink is tricky. Sometimes it mixes, sometimes it doesn't. But you can still make a rainbow. You just need to use the ink in a different way."
+
+She took a big sheet of paper and a spray bottle. She filled the bottle with water. She showed Ben and Mia how to dip their brushes in the ink and flick them on the paper. The ink made small dots of color on the paper. Then she sprayed some water on the paper. The water made the ink spread and blend. The paper looked like a rainbow.
+
+"Wow!" Ben and Mia said. "That's beautiful, Mama!"
+
+They hugged Mama and thanked her. They were happy. They learned something new. They made a rainbow with ink.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. They made a lot of noise and a big mess. They did not put anything back in its place.
+
+Mom came in and saw the messy living room. She was not happy. She said, "Sara and Ben, what have you done? This is a mess! I have a meeting soon and I need the living room to be clean. You have to restore it to how it was before. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They did not want to make Mom angry. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We will restore it. We will put everything back in its place."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Thank you, Sara and Ben. I appreciate your help. You have ten minutes to restore it. Then you can have a snack and read a book with me."
+
+Sara and Ben worked together to restore the living room. They picked up their toys and put them in the toy box. They stacked the books on the shelf. They folded the blankets and put them on the couch. They swept the floor and threw away the trash.
+
+They finished in time. They showed Mom the restored living room. Mom was proud of them. She said, "Well done, Sara and Ben. You did a great job. The living room looks nice and clean. You are good helpers. Now you can have a snack and read a book with me."
+
+Sara and Ben were happy. They hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. You are the best." They had a snack and read a book with Mom. They enjoyed their time together.
+Anna likes to make things with her hands. She likes to make clay pots, paper flowers, and wooden toys. But her favorite thing to make is paintings. She is a painter.
+
+She has many colors of paint and many brushes. She paints on big papers, small papers, and sometimes on the wall. She paints what she sees, what she feels, and what she dreams. She paints happy faces, sad faces, and funny faces. She paints animals, plants, and stars. She paints anything she wants.
+
+One day, she wants to make a smooth painting. She does not want to see any brush strokes or bumps on her paper. She wants to make a painting that looks like silk or water. She thinks hard. How can she make a smooth painting?
+
+She has an idea. She takes a big bowl and fills it with water. She adds some drops of paint to the water and stirs it with a spoon. She makes a colorful soup. She takes a paper and dips it in the bowl. She lifts it up and sees the paint on the paper. It is smooth and shiny. She likes it.
+
+She makes more smooth paintings with different colors. She hangs them on the wall to dry. She is proud of her work. She is a smooth painter.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play soccer with their friends. One day, they have a big game. They run and kick and score many goals. They are happy and have fun.
+
+At the end of the game, the coach gives them a trophy. It is shiny and big and has a soccer ball on top. Ben and Lily are very proud. They hold the trophy and smile. They thank the coach and their friends for playing with them.
+
+They go home with their mom and dad. They show them the trophy and tell them about the game. Mom and dad hug them and say they are very good at soccer. They are proud of them too. They thank them for being good kids.
+
+Ben and Lily put the trophy on their shelf. They change into their pajamas and brush their teeth. They are tired and happy. They go to bed and cuddle with their teddy bears. They feel comfortable and warm. They close their eyes and dream of soccer. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They like to slide, run, and swing. They always have fun together.
+
+One day, they see a new swing in the park. It is big and shiny. It has two seats and a long rope. Lily and Ben want to try it.
+
+"Can we swing on that?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"Sure, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the new swing. They sit on the seats and hold the rope.
+
+"Ready?" Ben asks.
+
+"Ready!" Lily says. They start to swing. They go up and down, up and down. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and shout.
+
+They swing faster and faster. They feel like they are flying. They are having so much fun.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The rope breaks. The swing falls to the ground. Lily and Ben fall too. They are scared and hurt.
+
+They cry and call for help. They hug each other.
+
+A nice lady hears them. She comes to help them. She is a nurse. She checks their bumps and bruises. She puts band-aids on them. She gives them hugs and kisses.
+
+She says, "Don't worry, you will be okay. You are brave and strong. You have each other. You are reliable friends."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you, nurse. You are nice and kind. You are reliable too."
+
+They hold hands and walk to their moms. They tell them what happened. Their moms hug them and say, "We are glad you are okay. We are proud of you. You are reliable children."
+
+Lily and Ben feel better. They still like to swing. But they only swing on the old swing. It is safe and sturdy. It is reliable. Just like them.
+Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play with toys and eat candy. One day, they found a big bag of money on the street. They were very happy. They wanted to buy more toys and candy.
+
+But Tom was greedy. He did not want to share the money with Sue. He said, "This is my money. I found it first. You can have nothing." Sue was sad and angry. She said, "That is not fair. We are friends. We should share the money." Tom said, "No. Go away. Leave me alone."
+
+Sue did not go away. She had a plan. She waited until Tom was not looking. Then she took some of the money and ran away. She went to the candy store and bought a lot of candy. She ate some and put the rest in her pocket.
+
+Tom saw that some of the money was gone. He was very mad. He ran after Sue. He found her at the park. He said, "Give me back my money. You are a thief. You are a bad friend." Sue said, "No. You are a bad friend. You are selfish. You are mean."
+
+They started to fight. They pulled each other's hair and scratched each other's face. They did not see the big dog that was watching them. The dog was hungry. He smelled the candy in Sue's pocket. He jumped on them and bit them. He took the candy and the money and ran away.
+
+Tom and Sue were hurt and scared. They cried and screamed. They had no toys, no candy, and no money. They had no friends. They had a disgusting dog bite. They were very sorry. But it was too late. The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. Lily had a big spoon and Ben had a wooden spatula.
+
+"Let's make soup!" Lily suggested. "We can use water from the sink and some salt and pepper."
+
+"Okay!" Ben agreed. "But we need something else to make it interesting. How about we add some of these?" He pointed to a jar of colorful candies on the counter.
+
+Lily frowned. "I don't think candies are good for soup. They are too sweet and sticky. Maybe we can use some of these instead." She showed him a bag of carrots and peas.
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, those are boring. Candies are fun and pretty. Come on, let's try it!" He reached for the jar and opened it.
+
+Lily tried to stop him, but it was too late. Ben poured some candies into the pot of water on the stove. The candies started to melt and fizz and make a loud noise. The water turned pink and blue and green and bubbled over the pot.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Lily and Ben said together. They watched in horror as the candy soup spilled over the stove and onto the floor.
+
+Mom came running into the kitchen. She saw the mess and the smoke and the smell. She was very angry.
+
+"What have you done?" she yelled. "You could have burned the house down! You are in big trouble, young ones!"
+
+Lily and Ben felt very sorry. They wished they had listened to Lily's suggestion and used carrots and peas instead of candies. They learned their lesson and never played with the sink and the stove again.
+Tom and Mia like to play in the backyard. They have a big box that they pretend is a boat. They use a stick and a sheet to make a sail. They put their toys and snacks in the box and say they are going on an adventure.
+
+"Where are we sailing to, Tom?" Mia asks.
+
+"We are sailing to the island of the dinosaurs, Mia. We have to be brave and flexible. Maybe we can make friends with them," Tom says.
+
+They push the box along the grass and make sounds like the wind and the waves. They see a big tree and pretend it is a volcano. They see a bird and pretend it is a pterodactyl. They see a dog and pretend it is a t-rex.
+
+"Roar! I am a t-rex and I am hungry. I want to eat your boat and your snacks," the dog barks.
+
+"Quick, Mia, we have to sail away. The t-rex is chasing us," Tom says.
+
+They pull the box to the other side of the backyard and hide behind a fence. They breathe hard and laugh.
+
+"That was fun, Tom. We are very flexible. We can sail away from any danger," Mia says.
+
+"Yes, Mia. We are the best sailors in the backyard. Maybe next time we can sail to the moon," Tom says.
+
+They hug and share their snacks. They are happy and proud of their adventure.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. Lily wants to go on the swing. She runs to the swing and sits on it.
+
+"Push me, Ben!" Lily says. "Push me high!"
+
+Ben pushes Lily on the swing. Lily feels happy. She laughs and smiles. She swings her arms in the air. She likes the wind in her hair.
+
+Ben thinks Lily is attractive. He likes her eyes and her smile. He wants to tell her. He stops pushing the swing. He walks to the front of the swing.
+
+"Lily, I have something to say," Ben says. "I think you are..."
+
+But before he can finish, Lily swings her arm and hits him in the face. She does not see him. She is still swinging.
+
+"Ow!" Ben says. "That hurts!"
+
+Lily stops swinging. She sees Ben holding his nose. She feels sorry.
+
+"Oh, Ben, I'm sorry!" Lily says. "I did not mean to hit you. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben nods. He is okay. He is not angry. He still likes Lily.
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Ben says. "I'm fine. But can I tell you something?"
+
+Lily nods. She wants to hear what Ben has to say.
+
+"What is it, Ben?" Lily says.
+
+Ben takes a deep breath. He looks at Lily. He says the words he wants to say.
+
+"I think you are attractive, Lily," Ben says. "I like you. Do you like me?"
+
+Lily blushes. She feels shy. She likes Ben too. She thinks he is attractive. She says the words she wants to say.
+
+"I like you too, Ben," Lily says. "You are attractive. Do you want to swing with me?"
+
+Ben smiles. He feels happy. He says yes. He sits on the swing next to Lily. They hold hands. They swing together. They laugh and smile. They are friends. They are attractive. They are happy.
+Lily was lonely. She had no friends to play with at the park. She saw other kids running, sliding, and swinging, but they did not talk to her. She sat on a bench and looked at the sky. It was very bright and sunny.
+
+She wished she had sunglasses like her mom. Her mom always wore sunglasses when she went outside. She said they made her look cool and protected her eyes. Lily wanted to look cool and protect her eyes too.
+
+She saw a lady walking by with a big bag. The lady had sunglasses on her head. They were shiny and pink, just like Lily's favorite color. Lily wanted those sunglasses. She had an idea. She ran to the lady and said, "Hello, can I have your sunglasses?"
+
+The lady was surprised. She looked at Lily and said, "No, you can't have my sunglasses. They are mine. Why do you want them?"
+
+Lily said, "Because they are pretty and I am lonely. I have no sunglasses and no friends. If I have sunglasses, maybe I can make friends."
+
+The lady felt sorry for Lily. She said, "I'm sorry you are lonely, but taking my sunglasses is not nice. You have to ask before you take something that belongs to someone else. And sunglasses are not the only way to make friends. You have to be kind and share and smile and say hello. Do you want to try that?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I'm sorry I tried to take your sunglasses. Can I say hello to you?"
+
+The lady smiled. She said, "Of course you can. Hello, my name is Anna. What is your name?"
+
+Lily said, "My name is Lily. Nice to meet you, Anna."
+
+Anna said, "Nice to meet you too, Lily. Do you want to play with me for a while? I have some stickers and crayons in my bag. We can draw and decorate them."
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun. Thank you, Anna."
+
+Anna said, "You're welcome, Lily. Come on, let's go to the grass and sit down. Maybe we can find some other kids to join us too."
+
+Lily was happy. She followed Anna to the grass. She did not need sunglasses to make friends. She just needed to be herself. She raised her hand and waved to the other kids. She hoped they would wave back. She was not lonely anymore.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to dream. Every night, she would close her eyes and imagine incredible things. She would dream of flying in the sky, swimming with the fish, or exploring the stars. She would dream of having fun with her friends, her family, and her toys. She would dream of being happy and free.
+
+One night, she had a very special dream. She dreamed that she met a fairy who lived in a flower. The fairy was very kind and pretty, and she had wings that sparkled. The fairy said to Lily, "Hello, little girl. I am here to grant you a wish. What do you want most in your life?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She had so many things that she liked and wanted, but she also knew that she already had a lot of things that she loved and needed. She looked at the fairy and said, "Thank you, fairy. You are very nice. But I don't need a wish. I have everything I need in my life. I have my mommy and daddy, who love me and take care of me. I have my brother and sister, who play with me and teach me. I have my friends, who make me laugh and share with me. I have my toys, who keep me company and help me learn. And I have my dreams, who show me incredible things and make me happy. I have a wonderful life, fairy. And I am very grateful for it."
+
+The fairy smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "You are a very wise and sweet girl, Lily. You have a wonderful life indeed. And you have a beautiful heart. I am very happy for you. And I am very proud of you. You don't need a wish, because you already have the best gift of all: the gift of gratitude. And that is the most incredible thing of all."
+
+Lily woke up from her dream. She felt warm and cozy in her bed. She smiled and said, "Thank you, fairy. Thank you, life. Thank you, dreams. I love you all." And she fell asleep again, dreaming of more incredible things.

+
+"Mom, dad, our sandcastle is gone!" they said.
+
+"Don't worry, my loves," their mom said. "We can make another one. Or we can repair this one. Look, some of the sand is still here. We just need to add more sand and water and shells and stones."
+
+"Really?" Sam asked.
+
+"Yes, really," their dad said. "Come on, let's repair our sandcastle. It will be fun. And maybe even better than before."

+
+One day, Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you have to help me. The lawn is too long. We need to cut it with the mower. Can you help me push it?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They want to help Mom. They run to the garage and find the mower. It is big and heavy. They try to push it, but it is hard. They have to use all their strength.
+
+"Come on, Lily, push harder!" Ben says.
+
+"I am pushing, Ben, but it is hard!" Lily says.
+
+They manage to move the mower a little bit. But then they see a big rock on the lawn. They have to go around it. They try to steer the mower, but it is hard. They have to use all their balance.
+
+"Watch out, Ben, there is a rock!" Lily says.
+
+"I see it, Lily, but it is hard!" Ben says.
+
+They manage to go around the rock. But then they hear a loud noise. It is the ball. It has popped. The mower has run over it. Lily and Ben are sad. They love their ball.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, our ball!" Ben says.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, our ball!" Lily says.
+
+They stop the mower and look at the ball. It is flat and torn. They can't play with it anymore. They feel like crying.
+
+Mom sees them and comes over. She hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, Lily and Ben. I know you loved your ball. But you did a great job with the mower. You helped me a lot. You are very brave and strong. I'm proud of you."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They feel better. They hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We are sorry about the ball."
+
+Mom says, "Don't worry, we can get a new ball. But first, let's finish the lawn. Do you want to help me some more?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They want to help Mom. They push the mower again. It is still hard, but they manage. They finish the lawn. It looks nice and neat. They are happy. They have done a good job.

+
+One day, Sara and Ben are playing in the sandbox. They are making a castle with buckets and shovels. Spot is watching them and wagging his tail. He wants to join the fun.
+
+"Can Spot help us?" Sara asks Ben.
+
+"OK, but he has to be careful. He can't knock down our castle," Ben says.
+
+Sara and Ben call Spot and pat his head. They show him how to dig and fill the buckets. Spot is happy and tries to help. He digs with his paws and carries a bucket in his mouth. He is a good dog.
+
+But then, something bad happens. Spot sees a squirrel on the fence. He drops the bucket and barks. He runs after the squirrel and jumps over the sandbox. He lands on the castle and breaks it. Sara and Ben are sad and angry.
+
+"Spot, no!" Sara shouts. "You ruined our castle!"
+
+"Bad dog!" Ben cries. "Go away!"
+
+Spot is scared and sorry. He lowers his ears and tucks his tail. He runs to the porch and hides under a chair. He whines and looks at Sara and Ben.
+
+Sara and Ben look at their castle. It is a mess. They feel like crying. But then, they remember something. They remember that Spot is their friend. He did not mean to break their castle. He was just excited. He loves them and they love him.
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They smile and nod. They get up and walk to the porch. They find Spot and hug him. They tell him they are not mad at him. They tell him they are sorry for yelling at him.
+
+"Spot, we love you," Sara says.

+
+One day, Lily and Anna had a fight. Lily wanted to use the pink lipstick, but Anna said it was hers. Lily said it was not fair. Anna said it was. They both got angry and said mean words.

+
+Lily and Anna felt sad. They missed their friend. They looked at their dolls and their makeup. They did not have fun alone. They wanted to say sorry, but they did not know how.
+
+Then, Lily had an idea. She was thoughtful. She took the pink lipstick and went to Anna. She said, "Anna, I am sorry. I was mean. You can have the pink lipstick. I have another one. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Anna smiled. She was thoughtful too. She said, "Lily, I am sorry too. I was mean. You can use the pink lipstick. I have another one too. Yes, I want to play with you."

+
+But then, they hear a loud noise outside. They look out the window and see a big truck. The truck is carrying more blocks to their house. The truck driver does not see their castle on the floor. He is not alert. He opens the door and steps inside.

They hope the truck driver will hear them and be careful. They do not want to lose their hard work. They love their castle.

+
+Sam is curious. He wants to see what is in the bag. He leans over and tries to touch the bag.

+
+One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box has many screws and tools. Ben and Lily want to see what is inside. They open the box and see a lot of pieces of wood. They think they can make something with the wood and the screws.
+
+They start to put the pieces together. They use a hammer, a screwdriver, and a saw. They work hard and help each other. They sing a song while they work. The song goes like this:
+
+We are making something great
+With the wood and the screws
+We are using tools and shapes
+We are having fun, how about you?
+
+Mom and Dad hear the song and come to the garage. They see Ben and Lily with their creation. It looks like a big house with a door, a window, and a roof. Mom and Dad are very proud of Ben and Lily. They hug them and say:

+Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They found some celery in the fridge and decided to use it for their soup.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have celery!" Anna said, holding up a green stick.
+
+"Me too, Anna!" Ben said, grabbing another one. "Celery is good for soup!"
+
+They chopped the celery with their plastic knives and put it in a big pot. They added some water and salt and stirred it with a wooden spoon.
+
+"Soup is ready!" Anna announced, putting the pot on the table. "Let's eat!"
+
+They took two bowls and ladles and filled them with the celery soup. They blew on it to cool it down and tasted it.
+
+"Yuck!" Anna spat out the soup. "This is not yummy! This is icky!"
+
+"Yuck!" Ben agreed, making a face. "Celery is not good for soup! Celery is bad!"
+
+They pushed their bowls away and looked at the pot. They still had a lot of celery soup left. What could they do with it?
+
+"I know!" Anna said, getting an idea. "Let's destroy the celery soup!"
+
+"Yeah!" Ben said, liking the idea. "Let's destroy it!"
+
+They grabbed the pot and ran outside. They looked for a place to dump the celery soup. They saw a big hole in the ground where their dad was digging for a new flower bed.
+
+"Perfect!" Anna said, pointing at the hole. "Let's put the celery soup there!"
+
+They lifted the pot and poured the celery soup into the hole. The soup splashed and made a mess. They laughed and clapped their hands.
+
+"We did it!" Anna said, proud. "We destroyed the celery soup!"
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was their dad. He looked at the hole and saw the celery soup. He looked at them and saw their smiles. He looked very sad.
+
+"Anna, Ben, what did you do?" he asked, softly. "That was my flower bed. I was going to plant some roses there. Now it's ruined."
+
+Anna and Ben stopped laughing. They realized they had done something bad. They felt very sorry.
+
+"Dad, we're sorry!" Anna said, hugging him. "We didn't know it was your flower bed. We thought it was just a hole."
+
+"We're sorry!" Ben said, joining the hug. "We didn't like the celery soup. We wanted to destroy it."
+
+Dad sighed and hugged them back. He was not angry, but he was still sad.
+
+"I understand, kids," he said, gently. "But you can't destroy things that are not yours. You have to be careful and respectful. And you have to try new foods. Celery is good for you. Maybe you'll like it better with some dip or cheese."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They felt bad for making their dad sad. They wanted to make him happy.
+
+"Dad, can we help you fix your flower bed?" Anna asked, hopefully.
+
+"Dad, can we plant some roses with you?" Ben asked, eagerly.
+
+Dad smiled and wiped his eyes. He was happy to see their kindness.
+
+"Sure, kids," he said, warmly. "That would be very nice. Come on, let's go get some tools and seeds. And maybe some celery, too."
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play and speak together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Can I go first?" Sara asks.
+
+"OK, you can go first," Ben says. He is cheerful and waits for his turn.
+
+Sara climbs up the ladder and slides down. She laughs and feels happy. She wants to go again.
+
+"Can I go again?" Sara asks.
+
+"No, it is my turn now," Ben says. He is not cheerful anymore. He wants to slide too.
+
+Sara does not listen. She climbs up the ladder again and slides down. Ben is angry and sad. He shouts at Sara.
+
+"Stop! You are not fair! You are a bad friend!"
+
+Sara is scared and sorry. She did not mean to make Ben angry and sad. She wants to say sorry, but Ben does not want to speak to her. He runs away to his mom.
+
+Sara's mom sees what happened. She is not happy with Sara. She takes her to a bench and gives her a salad.
+
+"You have to eat this salad," Sara's mom says. "You have to learn to share and be nice to your friends."
+
+Sara does not like salad. She likes cookies and cake. She cries and feels bad. She wishes she could slide with Ben and be friends again. But Ben does not look at her. He eats a cookie and plays with another kid. Sara is alone and sad. She has a bad day.
+Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They liked to gather flowers and put them in a jar. They wanted to make the jar look pretty and colorful.
+
+One day, they saw a butterfly with big wings. It was graceful and flew from flower to flower. Lila and Ben wanted to catch it and put it in the jar too. They thought it would make the jar more pretty and colorful.
+
+They ran after the butterfly and tried to catch it with their hands. They did not see the big rock in their way. They tripped over the rock and fell down. The jar fell too and broke into pieces. The flowers and the water spilled out. The butterfly flew away.
+
+Lila and Ben cried. They were hurt and sad. They had lost their jar and their butterfly. They had also hurt the flowers and the water.
+
+A lady came and saw them. She was their neighbor. She helped them get up and cleaned their wounds. She said, "Why did you try to catch the butterfly? It was happy and free in the garden. You should not take away its home and its life. You should enjoy its beauty from afar and let it be. That is how you show respect and kindness to nature."
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry. They learned their lesson. They said, "We are sorry, lady. We were wrong. We will not catch butterflies or any other animals again. We will only gather flowers that have fallen and put them in a new jar. We will also be careful and watch where we go."
+
+The lady smiled and said, "That is good, children. I hope you will remember this lesson and be more careful and kind in the future." She gave them a hug and a new jar. She said, "Now, go and play in the garden. But remember, do not hurt or take what is not yours."
+Bee was nervous. It was her first day to serve honey to the queen. She flew out of the hive with her friends. They found many flowers with sweet nectar. They filled their tummies and went back to the hive.
+
+Bee was happy. She had a lot of honey to make. She worked hard with her friends. They turned the nectar into honey and put it in the cells. They sealed the cells with wax. They made many rows of honey.
+
+Bee was scared. It was time to serve honey to the queen. She took a cell of honey and flew to the queen's chamber. She saw the queen on a big throne. She was big and beautiful. She had many guards around her.
+
+Bee bowed to the queen. She said, "Your majesty, I have brought you some honey. It is fresh and sweet. I hope you like it." She gave the cell of honey to the queen.
+
+The queen smiled. She took the cell of honey and tasted it. She said, "Thank you, Bee. This is very good honey. You have done a great job. You are a good worker. I am proud of you."
+
+Bee was happy. She felt a warm glow in her heart. She said, "Thank you, your majesty. You are very kind. I am happy to serve you." She flew away with a big smile. She was not nervous anymore. She was brave and confident.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big fountain with water. The water is wet and shiny. Anna and Ben want to touch the water.
+
+"Look, Ben, water!" Anna says. She runs to the fountain. She puts her hand in the water. The water is cold and tickles her hand. She laughs.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says. He runs after Anna. He grabs her hand and pulls her out of the water. He wants to put his hand in the water too. He puts his hand in the water. The water is cold and tickles his hand. He laughs.
+
+They take turns to put their hands in the water. They splash each other with water. They giggle and have fun. The water is amazing.
+
+A lady comes to the fountain. She is their mom. She sees Anna and Ben. They are wet and happy.
+

+Sara loves to read books. She has many books in her room. She likes to read about animals, princesses, and space. She reads every day before bed.
+
+Sara is going on a holiday with her family. They are going to the beach. Sara is very happy. She wants to see the sea, the sand, and the shells. She also wants to read her books.
+
+Sara packs her bag for the holiday. She puts in her swimsuit, her hat, her sunscreen, and her towel. She also puts in all her books. She has so many books that her bag is very heavy. She can hardly lift it.
+
+Sara's mom helps her with her bag. She says, "Sara, you don't need to bring all your books. You can only read one or two on the holiday. The rest you can leave at home and read when we come back."
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She loves all her books. She doesn't want to leave any behind. But she also knows that her bag is too heavy. She decides to take out some books and put them back on her shelf. She only keeps her favorite book, the one about the mermaid.
+
+Sara's mom smiles and says, "Good choice, Sara. That book is perfect for the beach. Now your bag is lighter and you can carry it yourself. Are you ready to go?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "Yes, mom. I'm ready to go. I'm excited for the holiday. And I can't wait to read my book."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go up the tree!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben, but be careful!" Lily said.
+
+They climbed the tree and found a big branch. They sat on the branch and looked at the sky. They saw the sun and the clouds and the birds. They felt happy and free.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a dog. A big, black dog. It was barking and growling. It was running towards the tree. It wanted to catch Ben and Lily.
+
+"Help, help, it's a dog!" Lily screamed.
+
+"Shut up, Lily, don't make noise!" Ben whispered.
+
+But it was too late. The dog heard them and saw them. It jumped and tried to bite the branch. Ben and Lily were scared. They held each other and cried.
+
+The dog was angry and hungry. It did not stop jumping and barking. It broke the branch. Ben and Lily fell down. They hit the ground. They did not move. They did not breathe. They were dead.
+
+The dog was happy and full. It licked its lips and wagged its tail. It walked away from the tree. It left behind two shadows. Two shadows that did not run and jump and laugh. Two shadows that did not see the sky.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big pile of leaves and sticks. They wanted to make a fire with them.
+
+"Let's get some matches from the house," Tom said. "We can make a flame and watch it burn."
+
+Sara nodded. She thought fire was attractive. It was bright and warm and made crackling sounds. She followed Tom to the house and they sneaked some matches from the kitchen.
+
+They ran back to the garden and lit a match. They threw it on the pile of leaves and sticks. The flame grew bigger and bigger. They clapped their hands and laughed.
+
+But they did not see that the wind was blowing. The wind carried the flame to the fence. The fence was old and dry. It caught fire too. The fire spread to the neighbor's house. The neighbor's house was made of wood. It started to rot and fall apart.
+
+The neighbor saw the fire and screamed. He called the firemen. He was very angry. He pointed at Sara and Tom and said, "You did this! You are bad children! You will be in big trouble!"
+
+Sara and Tom were scared. They cried and said they were sorry. But it was too late. The firemen came and put out the fire. But the neighbor's house was ruined. Sara and Tom had to go to their parents. Their parents were very mad. They punished them and said they could not play outside for a long time.
+
+Sara and Tom felt sad and ashamed. They wished they had not played with fire. They learned a hard lesson. Fire was not attractive. Fire was dangerous.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they see a man outside the window. He is wearing a mask and a big bag. He is a thief. He wants to take their toys.
+
+"Look, Sam, a thief!" Tim says. "He is coming to our house. We have to stop him."
+
+"How?" Sam asks. "He is bigger than us."
+
+Tim has an idea. He grabs a pillow and a blanket. He makes a trap. He puts the pillow on the floor and covers it with the blanket. He tells Sam to sit on the pillow and pretend to be a toy.
+
+"OK, Tim, I will sit here. But be careful," Sam says.
+
+Tim nods. He hides behind the sofa. He waits for the thief. The thief opens the door and sneaks into the living room. He sees the blanket on the floor. He thinks it is a big toy. He walks towards it and tries to grab it.
+
+"Gotcha!" Tim shouts. He jumps out and pulls the blanket. Sam pops out and kicks the thief in the leg. The thief falls down and drops his bag. Tim and Sam run to the bag and see their toys inside.
+
+"Wow, he took our toys!" Tim says. "He is a bad thief."
+
+"Yes, he is. But we are incredible!" Sam says. "We caught him."
+
+They hug each other and smile. They hear their mom coming home. They run to her and tell her what happened. She is proud of them and calls the police. The police come and take the thief away. Tim and Sam get their toys back and play happily. They are brave brothers.
+Tom and Anna liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big animal. The animal was soft and brown and had a long neck. They called it Giraffe.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna went to the park with their mom. They took Giraffe with them. They played on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They had a lot of fun. But they were so busy that they forgot about Giraffe.
+
+When it was time to go home, they ran to their mom. They got in the car and drove away. But Giraffe was still on the grass. He was sad and lonely.
+
+"Mom, where is Giraffe?" Tom asked.
+
+"Oh no, we left him at the park!" Anna cried.
+
+They turned the car around and went back to the park. They hoped that Giraffe was still there.
+
+They searched the park, but they could not find Giraffe. They asked some people, but no one had seen him. They were very sad and sorry.
+
+Then they heard a voice.
+
+"Hello, Tom and Anna. I'm here."
+
+They looked up and saw Giraffe. He was on a tree. A nice man had put him there so he would not get lost.
+
+"Giraffe, we are so happy to see you!" Tom and Anna shouted.
+
+They hugged Giraffe and thanked the nice man. They apologized to Giraffe for forgetting him.
+
+"We are so foolish. We will never forget you again," they said.
+
+Giraffe smiled and said, "I forgive you. You are my best friends."
+One day, Tom and Anna went to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They saw many things in nature, like birds, flowers and trees.
+
+"Look, mom, a butterfly!" Anna said, pointing to a yellow and black insect.
+
+"It's very pretty, Anna. Do you know what it is called?" mom asked.
+
+"A butterfly, mom. I know, I know," Anna said.
+
+Tom ran to the sandbox and started to dig with his shovel. He found a shiny rock and showed it to mom.
+
+"Wow, Tom, what a nice rock. Do you know what it is made of?" mom asked.
+
+"Rock, mom. I know, I know," Tom said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You are both very smart. But remember, we have to be careful with nature. We don't want to hurt it or make it dirty."
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They knew that nature was good and they had to respect it. They played some more, then mom said it was time to go home.
+
+"OK, mom. But first, can we clean the sandbox?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, Tom. That's a good idea. We don't want to leave any trash or toys behind," mom said.
+
+Tom and Anna helped mom to clean the sandbox. They put their shovel, bucket and rock in their backpack. They also picked up some wrappers and cans that other people had left.
+
+"Good job, Tom and Anna. You are very kind and helpful. Nature will be happy," mom said.
+
+Tom and Anna felt proud. They liked to clean and take care of nature. They hugged mom and said, "We love you, mom. And we love nature, too."
+Mia and Leo were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for shiny things. One day, they found a big rock with a hole in it. Inside the hole, there was a gem. It was red and sparkly.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Mia said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I see?" Leo asked. He reached for the gem, but Mia held it tight.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Mia said. "I found it first!"
+
+Leo felt sad and angry. He wanted to see the gem too. He tried to pull it from Mia's hand, but she pulled back. They both tugged and tugged, until...
+
+CRACK!
+
+The gem broke in half. Mia and Leo gasped. They looked at the pieces in their hands. They were not shiny anymore. They were dull and gray.
+
+"Oh no, what did we do?" Mia said. "We broke the gem!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia," Leo said. "I should have asked nicely."
+
+"I'm sorry, Leo," Mia said. "I should have shared with you."
+
+They hugged and said they were still friends. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be humble and not greedy. They learned that some things are more precious than gems.
+Lily had a bad fall from her bike. She hurt her arm and it was very sore. Mom took her to the doctor to see if it was broken. Lily was scared of the doctor and the big machine that made a loud noise.
+
+The doctor was nice and smiled at Lily. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. I just need to take an x-ray of your arm. That's a picture that shows me your bones. It won't hurt, I promise. You just need to be very still and brave for a few seconds. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily nodded, but she felt tears in her eyes. She held Mom's hand and looked at the machine. The doctor said, "Now, you can choose a sticker to put on your arm after the x-ray. Which one do you like? There are stars, hearts, animals, and cars."
+
+Lily liked stickers. She looked at the different ones and said, "I like the star. It's shiny and pretty."
+
+The doctor said, "Good choice, Lily. You are a star. Now, let's take the x-ray. Ready? One, two, three, click!"
+
+Lily heard the noise and closed her eyes. She felt Mom squeeze her hand. It was over very fast. The doctor said, "Well done, Lily. You were very brave. Here is your sticker. And the good news is, your arm is not broken. It's just a bruise. It will heal soon. You can go home and rest."
+
+Lily smiled and put the sticker on her arm. She said, "Thank you, doctor. I'm glad my arm is not broken. And I like my sticker. It makes me feel better."
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm proud of you, Lily. You were very brave and strong. Let's go home and have some ice cream. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please. I love ice cream. And I love you, Mom."
+
+They said goodbye to the doctor and left. Lily felt happy and safe. She had a bad fall, but she was okay. She had an x-ray, but she was brave. And she had a sticker, but she was a star.
+Sam liked to play with his toy lion. He made it roar and run around the room. He pretended he was a big lion too, and roared at his mom and dad. They laughed and roared back at him.
+
+One day, Sam saw a real lion on TV. It was big and loud and had sharp teeth. It looked scary and angry. Sam felt afraid and hid behind the couch. He did not want to play with his toy lion anymore.
+
+Mom and dad saw Sam was scared. They came to him and hugged him. They told him the lion on TV was far away and could not hurt him. They said some lions were nice and harmless, like his toy lion. They showed him pictures of lions with their cubs and their friends. They said lions only roared to talk to each other or to protect their home.
+
+Sam felt better and came out from behind the couch. He looked at his toy lion and smiled. He picked it up and gave it a hug. He said sorry for being afraid of it. He made it roar softly and rubbed its face. He said he was a big lion too, and roared at his mom and dad. They laughed and roared back at him. They all played together and had fun.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and make towers. One day, they had a big box of blocks to share. They decided to see who could make the highest tower.
+
+Lily started to add blocks to her tower. She was careful and balanced them well. She wanted her tower to be graceful and strong. Ben also started to add blocks to his tower. He was fast and piled them up. He wanted his tower to be big and tall.
+
+Soon, their towers were very high. Lily and Ben looked at each other's towers. They both thought their own tower was better. They started to say mean things to each other.
+
+"Your tower is too slow and boring. Mine is faster and more fun!" Ben said.
+
+"Your tower is too messy and shaky. Mine is more graceful and stable!" Lily said.
+
+They kept arguing and did not notice that their towers were getting too high. Suddenly, both towers fell down with a loud crash. The blocks scattered everywhere. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They had no more blocks to play with.
+
+They sat on the floor and looked at the mess. They realized that they had been silly and rude. They had wasted their blocks and their fun. They felt sorry and wanted to be friends again.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Your tower was good too. Can we play together again?"
+
+They hugged and smiled. They decided to work together and make a new tower. They used all the blocks and helped each other. They made a tower that was high and graceful and fun. They had more fun than before. They learned that sharing and being kind is better than fighting and being mean.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress and a shiny crown. Lily liked to pretend that Anna was a princess and she was her friend.
+
+One night, Lily had a dream. She dreamed that she and Anna were in a big castle, with many rooms and gardens. They played with other dolls, ate cakes and danced. Lily was very happy in her dream.
+
+But then, she heard a loud noise. It was her mom, who came to wake her up. "Lily, it's time to get up. You have to go to school today," her mom said.
+
+Lily did not want to get up. She wanted to stay in her dream with Anna. She refused to open her eyes. She said, "No, mom. I want to play with Anna. She is a princess and I am her friend."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I know, Lily. But you can play with Anna later, after school. Now you have to get ready and learn new things. Maybe you can tell Anna about your dream when you come back."
+
+Lily was not happy. She did not want to leave Anna. She hugged her doll and said, "But mom, I don't want to go to school. My dress is not fit for school. It is fit for a castle. And Anna will be lonely without me."
+
+Her mom said, "Don't worry, Lily. Your dress is very pretty and you can wear it to school. And Anna will not be lonely. She will wait for you in your bed. She knows that you love her and you will come back soon. Now, please, get up and brush your teeth. I will make you breakfast."
+
+Lily sighed. She knew that her mom was right. She had to go to school and learn new things. She kissed Anna and said, "I will miss you, Anna. But I will see you later. And I will tell you all about my dream. You are my best friend."
+
+She put Anna on her pillow and got up. She followed her mom to the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She was still a little sad, but she hoped that she would have another dream with Anna soon.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big lake. They want to swim in the lake.
+
+"Can we swim in the lake?" Mia asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is cold. Maybe it is deep. Maybe there are fish."
+
+"Let's ask Mom," Mia says. "She will know."
+
+They run to Mom. Mom is sitting on a bench. She is reading a book.
+
+"Mom, can we swim in the lake?" Mia asks.
+
+Mom looks at the lake. She smiles.
+
+"The lake is beautiful," she says. "But it is not safe for you to swim in it. It is too cold and too deep. And there are fish. Some fish are nice, but some fish are not. They can bite you."
+
+"Oh," Mia says. She feels sad.
+
+"But I have an idea," Mom says. "I recommend that you play with the ducks. The ducks are on the shore. They are friendly and compassionate. They like to eat bread. Do you have some bread?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Tom says. He shows Mom his backpack. He has a sandwich.
+
+"Great," Mom says. "You can share your sandwich with the ducks. But be careful. Don't go too close to the water. And don't chase the ducks. They might get scared."
+
+"Okay, Mom," Mia says. She and Tom nod.
+
+They go to the shore. They see the ducks. The ducks are white and brown. They quack and swim. Mia and Tom break their sandwich into pieces. They throw the pieces to the ducks. The ducks come closer. They eat the bread. They are happy. Mia and Tom are happy too. They laugh and clap.
+
+They play with the ducks for a long time. They forget about the lake. They have fun. Mom watches them. She is proud. She thinks they are smart and kind. She loves them.
+Tom and Lily liked to play on the raft. The raft was big and brown and had a rope. They could pull the rope and make the raft move on the water. They liked to look at the fish and the ducks and the frogs.
+
+One day, they saw something different on the water. It was shiny and round and had a hole in the middle. It looked like a big ring. Tom and Lily wanted to see it closer. They pulled the rope and moved the raft to the ring.
+
+They touched the ring and it made a funny sound. It was hard and cold and smooth. They wondered what it was. They put it on the raft and looked at it. They thought it was a toy or a treasure.
+
+They heard a voice from the shore. It was their mom. She said it was time to go home. Tom and Lily did not want to leave the ring. They wanted to keep it. But they knew they had to listen to their mom. They pulled the rope and moved the raft back to the shore.
+
+They got off the raft and took the ring with them. They showed it to their mom. She smiled and said it was a tire. She said it was not a toy or a treasure. She said it was trash. She said they had to return it to the water. Tom and Lily were sad. They liked the ring. But they knew they had to do what their mom said. They threw the ring back to the water. They said goodbye to the ring. They said goodbye to the raft. They went home with their mom.
+Lily and Ben like to play with paper and crayons. They print many things on the paper. They print flowers, stars, cars and animals. They have fun making different colors and shapes.
+
+One day, Lily has an idea. She says to Ben, "Let's make a bow for Mommy. She will like it very much." Ben nods and smiles. He likes to make Mommy happy.
+
+They find a thick paper and cut it into a long strip. They fold it in the middle and make two loops. They use tape to stick the loops together. They print dots and hearts on the bow. They make it very pretty.
+
+They run to Mommy and give her the bow. They say, "Look, Mommy, we made this for you. It is a bow. Do you like it?" Mommy hugs them and kisses them. She says, "I love it, my sweeties. It is the best bow ever. Thank you so much." She puts the bow in her hair and smiles.
+
+Lily and Ben are very happy. They clap their hands and giggle. They are proud of their bow. They love Mommy very much.
+Tommy liked fruit very much. He liked to eat apples, bananas, oranges and grapes. He liked to share his fruit with his friends at school. But he did not like to share his fruit with Billy. Billy was mean to Tommy. He called him names and took his toys. Tommy was afraid of Billy.
+
+One day, Tommy brought a big bunch of grapes to school. He was very happy. He wanted to eat them at snack time. He put them in his backpack and went to play. But Billy saw his backpack. He was curious. He opened it and saw the grapes. He smiled. He wanted to eat them. He took them out and hid them in his pocket.
+
+At snack time, Tommy looked for his grapes. He could not find them. He was sad. He asked his friends if they saw his grapes. They said no. He wondered who took them. He looked around and saw Billy. Billy was eating something. Tommy went closer and saw that it was his grapes. He was angry. He said to Billy, "Hey, those are my grapes! Give them back!"
+
+Billy laughed. He said, "No, they are mine now. I found them in your backpack. You are so silly. You should not leave your fruit in your backpack. Anyone can take it. You are a baby. You need a mommy to take care of your fruit."
+
+Tommy felt bad. He felt embarrassed. He wanted to cry. He did not know what to do. He wished he had a mommy to help him. But then he remembered something. He remembered what his mommy told him before he went to school. She said, "Tommy, you are a big boy. You can take care of yourself and your things. You can stand up for yourself and your friends. You can be brave and kind. I am proud of you."
+
+Tommy felt better. He felt strong. He said to Billy, "No, you are wrong. You are the silly one. You are the mean one. You should not take things that are not yours. You should not make fun of people. You should be sorry. You should give back my grapes."
+
+Billy was surprised. He did not expect Tommy to talk back. He felt scared. He saw that Tommy's friends were watching. They looked angry. They liked Tommy. They did not like Billy. Billy felt alone. He felt ashamed. He said, "Okay, okay, fine. Here are your grapes. Take them. I am sorry. I will not do it again."
+
+Tommy took his grapes. He said, "Thank you. You should be nice to people. You should share your things. You should make friends. Then you will be happy."
+
+Tommy and his friends ate the grapes. They were sweet and juicy. They enjoyed them. They invited Billy to join them. Billy said yes. He ate some grapes. He smiled. He felt better. He said, "You are right. This is better. Can I be your friend?"
+
+Tommy said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be good. You have to be honest. You have to be kind. Can you do that?"
+
+Billy said, "Yes, I can. I will try. I am sorry for being mean. I want to be your friend."
+
+Tommy said, "Okay, then. Welcome to our group. We are happy to have you."
+
+They all hugged. They all laughed. They all played. They learned a lesson. They learned that stealing is wrong. They learned that sharing is good. They learned that kindness is better than meanness. They learned that friendship is the best fruit.
+Lily liked sausages very much. She liked them more than anything else. She liked them for breakfast, for lunch, and for dinner. She liked them with bread, with ketchup, or with nothing at all.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big plate of sausages on the table. They smelled so good. They looked so yummy. Lily wanted to eat them all. But she knew she had to wait. Her mom said, "Lily, these sausages are for later. We have guests coming over. You can have one now, but no more."
+
+Lily nodded. She took one sausage and ate it. It was so tasty. She wanted another one. But she remembered what her mom said. She tried to be good. She played with her toys. She read her books. She sang her songs. But she could not stop thinking about the sausages.
+
+She looked at the clock. It was still a long time until the guests came. She looked at the plate. There were still many sausages left. She thought, "Maybe no one will notice if I take one more. Just one more. It won't hurt anyone."
+
+She tiptoed to the table. She reached for a sausage. She grabbed it and ran to her room. She closed the door and bit into the sausage. It was so juicy. She felt so happy. She ate the whole sausage. She licked her fingers. She smiled.
+
+But then she heard a knock on the door. It was her mom. She said, "Lily, what are you doing in there? I need to talk to you. I have some bad news. The guests are not coming. They called and said they are sick. So we have to eat the sausages ourselves. But there is a problem. There are not enough sausages for everyone. Someone stole a sausage from the plate. Do you know who did it?"
+
+Lily felt a lump in her throat. She felt a pain in her tummy. She felt a tear in her eye. She knew she did a bad thing. She knew she had to tell the truth. She opened the door and said, "I'm sorry, mom. It was me. I stole a sausage. I was hungry. I was greedy. I was naughty. Please forgive me."
+
+Her mom looked at her. She was not angry. She was not happy. She was sad. She said, "Lily, I'm glad you told me the truth. But stealing is wrong. You have to learn to share. You have to learn to wait. You have to learn to be polite. You have to say sorry to your dad and your brother. They wanted to eat sausages too. And you have to go to bed without dessert. That is your punishment."
+
+Lily nodded. She felt sorry. She felt ashamed. She felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, brother. I won't steal again. I promise. I love you."
+
+She hugged her mom. She hugged her dad. She hugged her brother. They hugged her back. They said, "We love you too, Lily. We forgive you. But don't do it again. OK?"
+
+Lily said, "OK." She went to bed. She did not have dessert. She did not have sausages. She had an ordinary night. She learned a lesson. She hoped to be better tomorrow.
+Sara was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls in her closet. She did not like loud noises or big crowds. One day, her mom told her they were going to visit her aunt and uncle, who had a big house and a lot of kids.
+
+"But I don't want to go, Mommy," Sara said. "I don't know them and they are too loud."
+
+"Come on, Sara, it will be fun. They have a lot of toys and a big yard. Maybe you will make some new friends," her mom said.
+
+Sara was not convinced, but she packed her dolls and followed her mom to the car. When they arrived at the house, Sara saw a lot of kids running and shouting. She felt scared and hid behind her mom.
+
+"Hello, Sara, we are so happy to see you," her aunt said. "This is your cousin Ben, he is four years old. He will show you around."
+
+Ben was a big boy who had a lot of energy. He grabbed Sara's hand and pulled her inside. He showed her his room, his toys, his books, and his pets. Sara felt overwhelmed and wanted to go back to her mom.
+
+"Look, Sara, this is my favorite toy. It is a phone that can ring. Do you want to try it?" Ben said.
+
+He handed Sara the phone and pressed a button. The phone made a loud ringing sound that hurt Sara's ears. She dropped the phone and started to cry.
+
+"Hey, don't cry, it's just a toy. It's not real," Ben said.
+
+But Sara did not listen. She ran out of the room and looked for a place to hide. She found a closet and went inside. She closed the door and hugged her dolls. She felt safe and quiet in the closet.
+
+She stayed there for a long time, until she heard a knock on the door.
+
+"Sara, are you in there? It's Mommy. Can I come in?" her mom said.
+
+Sara opened the door and saw her mom's face. She felt happy and ran to her arms.
+
+"Mommy, I don't like it here. Can we go home?" Sara said.
+
+Her mom hugged her and kissed her head.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. I know it's hard to be in a new place with new people. But they are your family and they love you. They just want to play with you and have fun. Maybe you can give them another chance. What do you think?" her mom said.
+
+Sara looked at her mom and thought for a moment. She did not want to be rude or mean to her family. Maybe they were not so bad after all. Maybe she could try to play with them and have fun.
+
+"Okay, Mommy. I will try. But can I keep my dolls with me?" Sara said.
+
+"Of course, Sara. You can keep your dolls with you. They are your friends. And maybe you will make some new friends too. Come on, let's go and join the others. They are waiting for you," her mom said.
+
+She took Sara's hand and led her out of the closet. Sara felt nervous but curious. She hoped the others would be nice and gentle. She hoped the phone would not ring again. She hoped she would have fun.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big white armchair that they pretended was a spaceship. They would zip up and down the room, making noises and having fun.
+
+One day, Mom told them to tidy up their toys and go to bed. Lily and Tom did not want to stop playing. They said, "No, Mom, we want to fly more!" Mom was not happy. She said, "You have to listen to me. It is late and you need to sleep. If you don't tidy up, you will lose your toys."
+
+Lily and Tom did not believe Mom. They thought she was joking. They ignored her and kept playing. Mom was very angry. She said, "Fine, if you don't care about your toys, I will take them away." She grabbed the white armchair and dragged it to the garage. She locked the door and left.
+
+Lily and Tom were shocked. They realized Mom was serious. They ran to the garage and tried to open the door, but it was too hard. They cried and said, "Mom, please, we are sorry! We want our armchair back! We will tidy up, we promise!"
+
+Mom heard them and came back. She saw their sad faces and felt sorry for them. She said, "I'm glad you are sorry, but you have to learn to obey me. I love you and I want you to be safe and healthy. You can have your armchair back tomorrow, but only if you tidy up your toys and go to bed now."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and hugged Mom. They said, "We love you too, Mom. We are sorry we made you angry. We will listen to you from now on." They went back to the living room and tidied up their toys. They went to bed and dreamed of flying in their white armchair again. They learned that they should respect Mom and follow her rules.
+Tom and Lily like to play with their toys. They have a player that can make music and sounds. They put a disc in the player and press a button. The player makes a funny noise and stops. Tom and Lily are sad.
+
+"What is wrong with the player?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is broken," Tom says.
+
+They look at the player. It is heavy and has many wires and buttons. They do not know how to fix it.
+
+"Let's ask Dad. He can fix anything," Lily says.
+
+They carry the player to Dad. He is in the kitchen. He sees the player and smiles.
+
+"Hello, Tom and Lily. What do you have there?" he asks.
+
+"It is our player. It does not work. Can you fix it, please?" Tom says.
+
+"Sure, let me see. Maybe it is just a loose wire or a dirty disc," Dad says.
+
+He opens the player and looks inside. He finds a wire that is not connected. He connects it and closes the player. He cleans the disc and puts it back in the player. He presses the button. The player makes music and sounds.
+
+"Yay, it works! Thank you, Dad!" Tom and Lily say.
+
+"You're welcome, Tom and Lily. I'm glad I could fix it. Now you can play with it again. But be careful, it is heavy. Don't drop it or it might break again," Dad says.
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They hug Dad and take the player to their room. They play with it and have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. They were having fun until Ben knocked down Lily's tower.
+
+"Hey, that was my tower!" Lily said. "You are stupid!"
+
+"No, you are stupid!" Ben said. "Your tower was ugly!"
+
+They started to fight and push each other. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch.
+
+Suddenly, the floor shook and the walls rattled. The blocks fell down and the pictures fell off. Lily and Ben were scared. They felt the earthquake.
+
+"Mommy, mommy!" they cried. "Help us!"
+
+Their mom ran to their room and hugged them. She told them to calm down and be brave. She said the earthquake was over and they were safe.
+
+"Are you okay, my sweeties?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, mommy," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They looked at each other and felt sorry. They said sorry for fighting and calling each other stupid. They said they loved each other and hugged.
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now let's go have some lunch. And maybe later we can clean up this mess and play with the blocks again."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. They have a big box of toys in the living room.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben want to build a bridge with blocks. They work hard to make the bridge strong and long. They put cars on the bridge and make noises.
+
+"Vroom, vroom!" says Lily.
+
+"Honk, honk!" says Ben.
+
+But then, Lily's baby brother comes. He crawls to the bridge and knocks it down. The blocks and cars fall on the floor.
+
+"Hey!" says Lily. "That's our bridge!"
+
+"Bad!" says Ben. "Go away!"
+
+Lily's baby brother cries. He does not understand. He just wants to play.
+
+Lily and Ben are angry. They worry that they cannot build the bridge again. They do not want to share their toys.
+
+But then, Lily's mom comes. She sees the mess and the tears. She hugs Lily's baby brother and says, "It's okay, sweetie. You did not mean to break the bridge. You are curious and playful."
+
+She looks at Lily and Ben and says, "I know you are upset, but you can be flexible. You can build another bridge, or something else. You can also let your brother join you. He can learn from you and have fun with you."
+
+Lily and Ben think about it. They do not want to be mean. They want to be flexible. They say sorry to Lily's baby brother and give him a block. They decide to build a castle instead of a bridge. They work together and help each other. They put cars and dolls in the castle and make stories.
+
+"Welcome to our castle!" says Lily.
+
+"Thank you!" says Lily's baby brother.
+
+They all smile and laugh. They are happy.
+Lily was a famous singer. She loved to sing and make people happy. She sang on big stages with many lights and sounds. She had many fans who liked her songs.
+
+But singing was hard work. Sometimes, Lily felt tired and sore. Her voice was not as clear and strong as before. She needed to rest and take care of herself.
+
+One day, Lily went to a spa. A spa was a place where people could relax and feel good. There, she met Anna. Anna was a massage lady. She used her hands to rub and press Lily's muscles. She made Lily feel warm and calm.
+
+"Hello, Lily," Anna said. "I am a big fan of your music. You have a beautiful voice."
+
+"Thank you, Anna," Lily said. "You are very kind. Your massage is wonderful. It helps me a lot."
+
+"I am glad to hear that, Lily," Anna said. "But you also need to listen to your body. You need to drink water, eat healthy food, and sleep well. You need to give your voice a break sometimes. Then, you can sing even better."
+
+Lily nodded. She knew Anna was right. She wanted to be a good singer, but she also wanted to be healthy and happy. She decided to listen to Anna's advice. She thanked Anna for the massage and gave her a hug.
+
+Lily felt much better after the spa. She went home and did what Anna told her. She drank water, ate healthy food, and slept well. She also sang a little song for herself. She smiled and felt grateful. She was a famous singer, but she was also a person who needed love and care.
+Lily was very happy. Today was her birthday. She had a cake with four candles and many gifts. She wanted to open them all.
+
+"Can I open this one, Mommy?" she asked, pointing to a big box with a bow.
+
+"Sure, honey. It's from Grandma and Grandpa. They love you very much," Mommy said.
+
+Lily tore the paper and opened the box. Inside was a doll. But not a pretty doll. A scary doll. It had a bad face. It had big eyes, a long nose, and a mean mouth. It had a dress with holes and stains. It had hair that looked like snakes.
+
+Lily screamed and threw the doll away. She did not like it at all. She was afraid of it.
+
+"What's wrong, Lily? Don't you like your gift?" Mommy asked, surprised.
+
+"No, Mommy, I don't. It's a bad doll. It has a bad face. I don't want it. I want a nice doll. A doll that smiles and hugs and sings," Lily said, crying.
+
+Mommy hugged Lily and wiped her tears. She felt sorry for her.
+
+"I'm sorry, honey. Grandma and Grandpa didn't know you don't like this kind of doll. They thought you would like it because it's old and rare. They found it in an antique shop. They wanted to give you something special," Mommy explained.
+
+"But it's not special, Mommy. It's scary. I don't want to receive a scary gift. I want to receive a happy gift," Lily said.
+
+Mommy smiled and took another box from the table.
+
+"Then how about this one, Lily? It's from me and Daddy. We love you very much, too," Mommy said.
+
+Lily opened the box and saw a beautiful doll. It had a nice face. It had blue eyes, a small nose, and a sweet mouth. It had a dress with flowers and ribbons. It had hair that looked like silk.
+
+Lily gasped and smiled. She liked it very much. She was not afraid of it.
+
+"Wow, Mommy, it's a nice doll. It has a nice face. I love it. I want to hug it and sing with it," Lily said, happy.
+
+Mommy gave Lily the doll and kissed her cheek.
+
+"Happy birthday, Lily. I'm glad you like your gift. You deserve it. You are a good girl. You have a good face. A face that smiles and loves and shines," Mommy said.
+Tim is a boy who likes to play. He has many toys, but he wants more. He sees a cane in his grandpa's room. The cane is long and brown and has a handle. Tim thinks the cane is fun. He wants to take the cane and play with it.
+
+He goes to his grandpa's room and takes the cane. He runs to the living room and swings the cane around. He pretends the cane is a sword and he is a knight. He makes loud noises and hits the sofa and the table with the cane. He is happy.
+
+But his grandpa is not happy. He hears the noises and comes to the living room. He sees Tim with his cane. He is angry. He says, "Tim, give me back my cane! That is not a toy. That is my cane. I need it to walk. You are naughty. You can break the cane or hurt yourself or someone else. Go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Tim is sad. He gives the cane back to his grandpa. He says, "Sorry, grandpa. I just wanted to play. I was bored. I have no one to play with." He goes to his room and sits on his bed. He has no toys in his room. He is bored. He wishes he had a friend to play with. He thinks the cane is fun. He wants the cane.
+Ben and Lily were friends who liked to draw pictures. They had many crayons and papers to make their art. One day, their teacher said they could display their pictures on the wall for everyone to see. Ben was happy and excited. He wanted to show his picture of a big truck. Lily was shy and scared. She did not want to show her picture of a flower.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go display our pictures!" Ben said. He took his picture and some tape and ran to the wall.
+
+"No, thank you, Ben. I don't want to display my picture," Lily said. She hid her picture behind her back.
+
+"Why not, Lily? Your picture is very pretty. I like your flower. It has many colors," Ben said. He came back to Lily and tried to see her picture.
+
+"Thank you, Ben, but I don't want to display my picture. I'm shy. What if people don't like it? What if they laugh at it?" Lily said. She looked down and felt sad.
+
+"Lily, don't be shy. People will like your picture. They won't laugh at it. They will say it's beautiful. And I will be proud of you. You are my friend. Please display your picture with me," Ben said. He smiled and held out his hand.
+
+Lily looked at Ben and saw his smile. She felt a little less shy and a little more brave. She took his hand and showed him her picture.
+
+"Wow, Lily, your picture is amazing. I love your flower. It has so many petals. Can I display it next to mine?" Ben said. He took some tape and helped Lily stick her picture on the wall.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I'm glad we displayed our pictures together," Lily said. She smiled and hugged Ben.
+
+The teacher and the other children saw their pictures and praised them. They said they were very creative and colorful. Ben and Lily felt happy and proud. They displayed their pictures and their friendship.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with ducks and fish. Sara and Ben smile. They want to feed the ducks and fish.
+
+They find some bread and run to the pond. They throw the bread in the water. The ducks and fish come and eat the bread. Sara and Ben clap and laugh. They are happy.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. The dog is angry. It barks and runs to Sara and Ben. Sara and Ben are scared. They try to run away. But the dog is faster. It catches Ben and bites his leg. Ben cries and falls down. Sara screams and runs to Ben.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sara shouts. "The dog is bad! It hurts Ben!"
+
+But no one hears Sara. No one comes to help. The dog keeps biting Ben. Ben bleeds and stops crying. He closes his eyes. Sara cries and hugs Ben. She is sad.
+
+The pond is deep and quiet. The ducks and fish swim away. They do not care. Sara and Ben do not smile. They do not play. They do not march. They are alone. The dog is bad. The end.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is a big box. They pretend the box is a castle, a spaceship, or a cave. They have fun making up stories and acting them out.
+
+One day, they decide to play knights and princesses. Sara wears a fake crown and a dress. Ben wears a fake helmet and a sword. They also have a bow and some arrows, but they are not real. They are made of wood and string.
+
+"Hello, Princess Sara," Ben says, bowing to her. "I am Sir Ben, your brave knight. I will protect you from the dragon."
+
+"Thank you, Sir Ben," Sara says, smiling. "You are very kind and strong. Where is the dragon?"
+
+"The dragon is hiding in the forest," Ben says, pointing to the trees. "He is very big and scary. He has sharp teeth and claws, and he breathes fire. He wants to eat you and take your crown."
+
+"Oh no!" Sara says, pretending to be afraid. "What can we do?"
+
+"Don't worry, Princess Sara," Ben says, holding his sword. "I have a plan. I will use my bow and arrows to shoot the dragon. Then I will chase him away with my sword. You stay here in the castle. You will be safe."
+
+"OK, Sir Ben," Sara says, nodding. "Be careful. I will wait for you."
+
+Ben runs to the forest, holding his bow and arrows. He looks for the dragon, but he does not see him. He hears a loud roar, and he sees a big shadow. He thinks it is the dragon. He aims his bow and shoots an arrow. But he misses. The arrow flies over the shadow and hits a big rock.
+
+The rock makes a loud noise. It is not a rock. It is a car. The car belongs to Sara and Ben's dad. He is working in the garage. He hears the noise and comes out. He sees the arrow stuck in his car. He is not happy.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" he yells. "Who shot my car?"
+
+Ben is scared. He drops his bow and runs back to the box. He tells Sara what happened.
+
+"Uh-oh," Sara says. "We are in trouble. Dad is angry. He will take away our toys."
+
+"Maybe he will not see us," Ben says, hoping. "Maybe he will think it was someone else."
+
+They hide in the box and hope for the best. But they are not safe. Dad sees them. He walks to the box and opens it. He looks at them with a stern face.
+
+"Hello, Princess Sara and Sir Ben," he says. "I have a question for you. Who shot my car?"
+Anna loved to play with her mom's violin. It was shiny and brown and made pretty sounds. Mom said it was delicate and she had to be careful with it. But Anna wanted to touch it and feel it and make it sing.
+
+One day, when mom was out, Anna saw the violin on the table. She was curious and excited. She climbed on a chair and reached for it. She peeked inside the hole and saw a little stick. She pulled it out and waved it around. It was fun!
+
+"Anna, what are you doing?" mom's voice startled her. She turned around and saw mom standing at the door. She looked angry and sad. Anna felt scared and guilty. She dropped the stick and the violin.
+
+The violin fell on the floor and broke. It made a loud and ugly noise. Mom gasped and ran to pick it up. She held it in her arms and cried. She looked at Anna and said, "How could you do this? You know how much this violin means to me. It was my grandma's. It was precious and old and delicate. You ruined it. You are a bad girl."
+
+Anna burst into tears and ran to her room. She felt sorry and ashamed. She wished she had never touched the violin. She wished she could make mom happy again. She wished she could fix the violin. But she couldn't. She had done something very bad. She had broken mom's violin.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big black dog near the fence. The dog looked sad and scared. It had a rope around its neck.
+
+"Who is that dog?" Sara asked. "Why is it alone?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it ran away from its home. Maybe it has no home."
+
+Sara felt sorry for the dog. She wanted to help it. She walked slowly to the fence. She said in a soft voice, "Hello, dog. Don't be afraid. We are your friends."
+
+The dog wagged its tail. It licked Sara's hand. It seemed happy to see her. But then, a loud noise came from the street. A big truck was honking its horn. The dog got scared. It pulled on the rope. The rope was tied to a metal pole. The pole fell down. It hit the fence. The fence broke. The dog ran away.
+
+"Dog, come back!" Sara shouted. "We want to rescue you!"
+
+Tom ran after Sara. They followed the dog. The dog ran across the street. It was very dangerous. There were many cars and bikes and people. The dog could get hurt. Sara and Tom could get hurt too.
+
+"Stop, dog, stop!" Tom yelled. "Wait for us!"
+
+The dog did not stop. It ran and ran. It saw a bright red fire truck. It liked the fire truck. It wanted to play with it. It jumped on the fire truck. The fire truck was moving. It was going to a fire. The dog did not know that.
+
+"Dog, no!" Sara cried. "That is not a toy! That is a fire truck!"
+
+Sara and Tom ran to the fire truck. They waved their arms. They tried to get the driver's attention. The driver saw them. He saw the dog too. He stopped the fire truck. He opened the door. He took the dog out.
+
+"Is this your dog?" he asked.
+
+"No, sir," Sara said. "We found it in the park. It was alone and scared. We wanted to rescue it. But it ran away."
+
+"Well, you are very brave and kind," he said. "But you should not chase a dog across the street. It is too dangerous. You could get hurt."
+
+"We are sorry, sir," Tom said. "We just wanted to help the dog."
+
+"I understand," he said. "But you should always be careful and look both ways before you cross the street. And you should always ask an adult before you approach a strange dog. You never know if it is friendly or not."
+
+"Yes, sir," Sara and Tom said.
+
+The driver smiled. He petted the dog. The dog licked his face. It seemed to like him.
+
+"Do you want to keep the dog?" he asked. "I think he likes you too. And I think he needs a good home."
+
+Sara and Tom looked at each other. They looked at the dog. They nodded.
+
+"Yes, please," they said.
+
+"OK, then," he said. "But you have to ask your parents first. And you have to take good care of the dog. You have to feed it and walk it and love it."
+
+"We will, we will," they said.
+
+The driver gave them the dog. He gave them a leash and a collar too. He helped them cross the street. He waved goodbye.
+
+Sara and Tom hugged the dog. They thanked the driver. They named the dog Sparky. They took him home. They asked their parents. Their parents said yes. They were happy. Sparky was happy too. He had a new home and new friends. He was rescued.
+Ben and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a pistol in Tom's dad's room. It is shiny and black. They think it is a toy.
+
+"Let's play with the pistol," Tom says. "We can pretend to be cowboys."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But be careful. Don't point it at me."
+
+They go to the backyard. They run and hide behind the trees. They make noises like guns. "Bang, bang, you're dead," Tom says.
+
+Ben laughs. He runs to Tom and tries to grab the pistol. "No, it's mine," Tom says. He pulls the pistol away from Ben. He points it at Ben's chest. "Bang, bang, you're dead for real," he says.
+
+He pulls the trigger. The pistol makes a loud noise. Ben falls to the ground. He does not move. He does not laugh. He does not breathe. He has a hole in his chest. Blood comes out.
+
+Tom drops the pistol. He screams. He runs to Ben. He shakes him. He cries. He is scared. He does not know what to do.
+
+He thinks it was a toy. He thinks it was easy. He thinks it was fun. He is wrong. He is very wrong.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but they were also making a lot of noise.
+
+Mom was in the kitchen, trying to relax. She had a hard day at work and she wanted some quiet time. She had a phone in her hand and she was talking to her friend. She was telling her friend about her regular problems: her boss, her bills, her chores.
+
+But Lily and Ben did not care. They kept playing and shouting and laughing. Mom could not hear her friend on the phone. She got angry and she yelled at Lily and Ben.
+
+"Stop it! Stop it right now! You are too loud! I need to relax! Go to your room!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They did not understand why Mom was so mad. They did not mean to bother her. They just wanted to play. They dropped their toys and ran to their room. They cried on their beds.
+
+Mom felt bad too. She did not want to hurt Lily and Ben. She loved them very much. She wanted to say sorry and hug them. But she did not. She was too proud and stubborn. She stayed on the phone and kept complaining.
+
+She did not notice that the phone was not regular. It was a special phone. It had a magic button. The button could make wishes come true. But it could also make bad things happen.
+
+The button was red and shiny. It was tempting. Mom did not know what it did. She did not read the instructions. She did not listen to the warning. She pressed the button.
+
+She wished that Lily and Ben would be quiet forever.
+
+The phone beeped. The wish was granted.
+
+Mom heard a loud scream from the room. She dropped the phone and ran to the room. She opened the door and saw a horrible sight.
+
+Lily and Ben were gone. There was only a pile of toys on the floor. The doll and the car were smiling. They had taken their place.
+
+Mom screamed too. She realized what she had done. She tried to undo the wish. She tried to find the phone. But it was too late.
+
+The phone was gone too. It had disappeared. It had moved on to another house. To another person. To another wish.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toy blocks. They liked to build towers and houses with the blocks. The blocks were made of wood and had different colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, I made a big tower!" Tim said, showing his blocks to Lily.
+
+"That's fine, Tim. But can I have some blocks too?" Lily asked. She only had a few blocks left.
+
+"Sure, Lily. You can have some of my blocks. But you have to replace them when you are done, okay?" Tim said. He was a good friend and liked to share.
+
+"Okay, Tim. I will replace them. Thank you!" Lily said. She took some blocks from Tim and started to build her own house.
+
+They played happily for a while, until they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Rex. Rex liked to play too, but he did not know how to play with blocks. He ran into the room and knocked over Tim's tower and Lily's house. The blocks fell to the floor and some of them broke.
+
+"Rex, no!" Tim and Lily shouted. They were sad and angry. They loved their blocks and did not want them to break.
+
+"Sorry, kids. Rex did not mean to ruin your blocks. He just wanted to join the fun." Their mom said. She came into the room and saw the mess. She picked up Rex and hugged him.
+
+"Mom, can you fix our blocks?" Tim asked.
+
+"I'm afraid not, Tim. Some of the blocks are too broken to fix. But don't worry, I have an idea. Why don't we go to the store and buy some new blocks? You can choose the ones you like and replace the ones that broke." Mom said.
+
+"Really, Mom? Can we do that?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, Lily. As long as you promise to keep Rex away from your blocks next time." Mom said.
+
+"Okay, Mom. We promise." Tim and Lily said.
+
+They put on their coats and shoes and followed Mom to the car. They were excited to go to the store and get new blocks. They hoped they would find some fine wood blocks like the ones they had before. They also hoped Rex would learn to play with other toys.
+Anna liked to play with her mom's zipper. It was shiny and made a funny sound when she pulled it up and down. She liked to pretend it was a snake or a rocket or a magic wand. Sometimes, her mom would let her wear her jacket with the zipper and run around the house.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big box on the table. It had a bow and a card with her name on it. She wondered what was inside. She asked her mom, but her mom said it was a surprise. She said she had to wait until after dinner to open it. Anna was very curious and excited.
+
+She decided to play with her zipper while she waited. She put on her mom's jacket and ran to her room. She pulled the zipper up and down, up and down, making noises and stories in her head. She did not notice that the zipper got stuck on something in her pocket. She pulled harder and harder, but it did not move.
+
+She heard a loud ring from the kitchen. It was the timer for the oven. Her mom called her to come for dinner. Anna tried to take off the jacket, but she could not. The zipper was still stuck. She started to cry. She did not want to ruin her mom's jacket or her surprise.
+
+She ran to the kitchen, sobbing and tugging at the zipper. Her mom saw her and hugged her. She said it was okay, she was not mad. She said she would help her get the zipper unstuck. She reached into Anna's pocket and pulled out what was making the zipper stuck. It was a small box with a ring inside. It was Anna's surprise.
+
+Her mom smiled and said it was a special ring for Anna. She said she was very generous and wanted to share something with her. She said she loved her very much and put the ring on Anna's finger. Anna stopped crying and looked at the ring. It was shiny and made a funny sound when she moved it. She liked it a lot. She hugged her mom and said thank you. She said she loved her too and was sorry for the zipper. Her mom said it was okay, it was just a zipper. They laughed and went to have dinner. Anna felt very happy and special. She played with her ring and her zipper all night.
+Anna loves to make things with her mother. They have a big box of paper, glue, scissors and crayons. Today, they are making cards for Anna's friends.
+
+"Who do you want to make a card for?" mother asks.
+
+Anna thinks hard. She has many friends, but she likes Lily the most. Lily is gentle and kind. She shares her toys and snacks with Anna.
+
+"I want to make a card for Lily," Anna says.
+
+"Okay, let's do that," mother says. "What do you want to draw on the card?"
+
+Anna picks up a pink crayon. She likes pink. It is a pretty color. She draws a big heart on the card. Then she writes "Lily" inside the heart.
+
+"Very good, Anna," mother says. "Do you want to write something else?"
+
+Anna nods. She wants to tell Lily how much she likes her. She thinks of the words she knows. She writes "You are my best friend. I love you."
+
+Mother smiles. She is proud of Anna. She helps her fold the card and put it in an envelope. She writes Lily's name and address on the envelope.
+
+"Can we go to the post office and send the card?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sure, we can do that," mother says. "Let's put on our coats and shoes and go."
+
+Anna is happy. She can't wait for Lily to get the card. She hopes Lily will like it. She hugs her mother and says "Thank you for helping me make the card."
+
+"You're welcome, Anna," mother says. "You are a very sweet and thoughtful girl. I love you."
+Lila and Ben are twins, but they are very unique. Lila likes to zip around on her bike, and Ben likes to chop wood with his axe. They have different colors of hair and eyes, and different hobbies too.
+
+One day, they decide to swap their toys and try something new. Lila gives Ben her bike, and Ben gives Lila his axe. They say goodbye and go to the park.
+
+Lila tries to chop a tree with the axe, but it is too heavy and hard. She gets tired and bored. She misses her bike. Ben tries to zip around on the bike, but it is too fast and wobbly. He falls down and scrapes his knee. He misses his axe.
+
+They both run back to their house and find each other. They hug and say sorry. They swap their toys again and smile. They are happy to have their own unique toys, and their own unique twin. They love each other very much.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big lion in a cage. The lion looked grumpy and sad. Lily and Tom wanted to make the lion happy.
+
+Lily said, "Let's give the lion some food. Maybe he is hungry." Tom said, "OK, I have some bread and cheese in my bag. We can share with the lion." They went to the cage and threw some food to the lion.
+
+The lion sniffed the food and ate it. He looked a little less grumpy, but still not happy. Lily said, "Let's give the lion some toys. Maybe he is bored." Tom said, "OK, I have a ball and a doll in my bag. We can play with the lion." They went to the cage and tossed some toys to the lion.
+
+The lion pawed the toys and played with them. He looked a little less bored, but still not happy. Lily said, "Let's give the lion some love. Maybe he is lonely." Tom said, "OK, I have a hug and a kiss in my heart. We can show the lion we care." They went to the cage and smiled at the lion.
+
+The lion smiled back and licked their hands. He looked a lot less lonely, and very happy. Lily and Tom were happy too. They learned that food and toys are nice, but love is the best thing to give. They recommend that everyone should be kind to animals, especially grumpy lions. The end.
+Ben and Sam were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bird in the grass. It was a turkey.
+
+"Look, a turkey!" Ben said. "Let's invite it to play with us."
+
+Sam was not sure. He thought the turkey looked dangerous. It had a big beak and sharp claws. He said, "No, Ben, I don't think that's a good idea. The turkey might hurt us."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He ran to the turkey and said, "Hi, turkey, do you want to play with us? We have a ball and a kite."
+
+The turkey did not like Ben. It did not want to play. It was angry and scared. It gobbled loudly and pecked at Ben. It scratched his face and his arm. Ben cried out in pain.
+
+Sam ran to help Ben. He shouted, "Go away, turkey, leave us alone!" He threw a stick at the turkey. The turkey ran away.
+
+Ben was hurt and sad. He said, "I'm sorry, Sam, I was wrong. I should have listened to you. The turkey was dangerous. It was not a friend."
+
+Sam hugged Ben. He said, "It's okay, Ben, I forgive you. But next time, be careful. Not all animals are friendly. Some are wild and mean. We should respect them and keep our distance."
+
+The moral of the story is: Listen to your friends' advice and don't approach strangers.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the lake with their kayak. A kayak is a small boat that you can sit in and move with a stick. Tom and Mia have a blue kayak that they share.
+
+One day, they go to the lake with their kayak. They put on their life jackets and get in the kayak. They start to paddle with the stick. They go fast and have fun.
+
+"Look, there is a big fish!" Mia says. She points to the water. Tom looks and sees the fish. It is shiny and green.
+
+"Wow, it is so pretty!" Tom says. He wants to see it better. He paddles harder with the stick. The kayak spins around. Mia feels dizzy.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Mia says. "You are making me sick. That is not fair. You have to share the stick and the kayak."
+
+Tom stops paddling. He feels sorry. He did not mean to make Mia sick. He likes Mia.
+
+"I am sorry, Mia," Tom says. "You are right. It is not fair. Do you want to see the fish again? We can go slowly and take turns with the stick."
+
+Mia smiles. She is not sick anymore. She likes Tom.
+
+"OK, Tom," Mia says. "Thank you for saying sorry. Let's see the fish again. But no more spinning, OK?"
+
+"OK, Mia," Tom says. "No more spinning. Just paddling and looking."
+
+They paddle and look. They see the fish again. They are happy. They are friends. They share the kayak.
+Lily likes to make things with paper and scissors. She cuts out shapes and colors them with crayons. She makes flowers, stars, and animals. She is very happy with her art.
+
+One day, she sees a new girl in her class. Her name is Sara. Sara has different hair than Lily. It is long and curly. Lily has short and straight hair. Lily thinks Sara's hair is pretty.
+
+Lily wants to be friends with Sara. She goes to her and shows her a paper flower. She says, "Do you like my flower? I made it with scissors." Sara nods and smiles. She says, "Your flower is very nice. I like scissors too. Can I make one with you?"
+
+Lily nods and gives Sara some paper and scissors. They sit together and cut out more flowers. They talk and laugh. They make a big bouquet of paper flowers. They are very happy with their art.
+
+Lily and Sara become good friends. They like to make things with paper and scissors. They also like each other's hair. They think they are both pretty. They are happy to be different.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play at the park. They loved to swing on the swings, high and fast. They laughed and shouted as they felt the wind in their hair.
+
+"Look at me, Lily! I can swing higher than you!" Ben said.
+
+"No, you can't, Ben! I can swing higher than you!" Lily said.
+
+They swung harder and harder, trying to outdo each other. They did not notice that they were getting dizzy and sick.
+
+Suddenly, Ben felt his tummy hurt. He let go of the swing and fell to the ground. He threw up on the grass. Lily saw him and stopped swinging. She ran to him and asked, "Are you okay, Ben?"
+
+Ben shook his head. He felt awful. He wished he had not swung so much. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I swung too much and made myself sick."
+
+Lily felt sorry for him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I was silly too. I swung too much and made myself dizzy. We should have been more careful."
+
+They hugged and said they were sorry. They decided to rest on the bench and drink some water. They saw a man selling ice cream nearby. They thought ice cream would make them feel better. They asked their moms if they could have some. Their moms said yes, but only a little. They did not want them to get sick again.
+
+Lily and Ben walked to the man and chose their ice cream. They thanked him and paid him. They licked their ice cream slowly and enjoyed it. They felt happier and cooler. They learned their lesson. They said to each other, "Swinging is fun, but too much swinging is bad. Ice cream is yummy, but too much ice cream is bad. We should always do things in moderation."
+
+The end.
+Lily was a very enthusiastic girl who loved to play outside. She liked to roll on the grass, chase butterflies and look for bugs. One day, she found a caterpillar on a leaf. She was very happy and wanted to show it to her friend Max.
+
+"Look, Max, look!" she shouted, running towards him with the leaf in her hand. "I found a caterpillar! It is green and fuzzy and has many legs!"
+
+Max was not as enthusiastic as Lily. He did not like bugs very much. He thought they were icky and scary. He did not want to see the caterpillar.
+
+"Yuck, Lily, yuck!" he said, backing away from her. "I don't want to see your caterpillar! It is gross and creepy and might bite me!"
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She did not understand why Max did not like her caterpillar. She thought it was cute and friendly and wanted to share it with him.
+
+"No, Max, no!" she said, holding the leaf closer to her chest. "My caterpillar is not gross or creepy or bitey! It is nice and soft and tickly! You are mean and rude and silly!"
+
+Max and Lily started to argue. They raised their voices and made faces at each other. They did not listen to each other. They did not have fun.
+
+Then, something amazing happened. The caterpillar started to move on the leaf. It curled up into a ball and then stretched out again. It did this several times, until it made a cocoon around itself. It was changing into something else.
+
+Lily and Max stopped arguing. They were curious and surprised. They watched the caterpillar in silence. They wondered what it would become.
+
+After a while, the cocoon cracked open. A beautiful butterfly emerged. It had colorful wings and antennae and eyes. It fluttered in the air and landed on Lily's nose.
+
+Lily and Max smiled. They were amazed and happy. They forgot their fight. They wanted to see the butterfly.
+
+"Wow, Lily, wow!" Max said, reaching out his hand. "Your caterpillar became a butterfly! It is pretty and graceful and shiny!"
+
+"Wow, Max, wow!" Lily said, letting the butterfly fly to his hand. "You are right, it is a butterfly! It is amazing and wonderful and magical!"
+
+Lily and Max hugged. They apologized to each other. They learned something new. They had fun.
+Lily and Ben like to play with sand. They have a big bucket and a small shovel. They fill the bucket with sand and turn it over. They make a castle with the sand.
+
+"Look at my castle!" Lily says. "It has a door and a window and a flag."
+
+"I like your castle," Ben says. "But I can make a better one. Watch me!"
+
+Ben fills his bucket with sand and turns it over. He makes a castle with the sand. But his castle is different. He pushes the sand with his fingers and makes holes and shapes.
+
+"Look at my castle!" Ben says. "It is original. It has a face and a nose and a mouth."
+
+"I don't like your castle," Lily says. "It is silly. It is not a real castle."
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "It is my castle. I can make it how I want."
+
+They start to argue. They shout and point at each other's castles. They are not happy.
+
+Then they hear a sound. It is the sound of water. It is the sound of a wave. A big wave comes and washes over their castles. The sand castles are gone.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They look at the empty sand. They look at each other. They are sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben says. "Your castle was nice. I should not have said it was bad."
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily says. "Your castle was original. I should not have said it was silly."
+
+They hug and smile. They are friends again.
+
+"Let's make a new castle," Lily says. "A big castle. A castle for both of us."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "A big castle. A castle for both of us."
+
+They take their bucket and shovel. They fill the bucket with sand and turn it over. They make a new castle with the sand. They push the sand with their fingers and make doors and windows and flags and faces and noses and mouths. They make a castle that is nice and original. They make a castle that they like. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their dog Spot in the garden. They liked to throw a ball for him and watch him run and jump. Sometimes, Spot would scratch himself with his paw. Ben and Lily wondered why he did that.
+
+"Maybe he has a flea," Lily said. "A flea is a tiny bug that bites dogs and makes them itch."
+
+"How can we find out?" Ben asked.
+
+"We can measure him," Lily said. "We can use a ruler and see how big he is. If he is smaller than before, maybe he has a flea."
+
+Ben and Lily got a ruler from the house and went back to the garden. They called Spot and gave him a treat. Then they tried to measure him from his nose to his tail.
+
+"Stay still, Spot," Ben said. "We want to see how big you are."
+
+But Spot did not stay still. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He thought they were playing with him. He knocked over the ruler and ran after the ball.
+
+Ben and Lily laughed. They decided that Spot did not have a flea. He was just happy and playful.
+
+"Spot is different from other dogs," Lily said. "He is the best dog in the world."
+
+"I agree," Ben said. "He is our friend and we love him."
+Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. Mom said she would make them sausages for lunch. Ben and Lily liked sausages. They smelled good and tasted delicious.
+
+Mom put the sausages in a pan on the stove. She told Ben and Lily to wait in the living room. She said she would call them when the sausages were ready. Ben and Lily nodded and went to play with their toys.
+
+But Ben was very curious. He wanted to see the sausages. He sneaked into the kitchen. He saw the pan on the stove. He saw the sausages sizzling and browning. He reached for the handle of the pan. He wanted to turn the sausages.
+
+"Ben, no!" Lily shouted. She followed Ben into the kitchen. She saw him touch the hot pan. She knew it was dangerous. She ran to him and pulled his hand away.
+
+Ben cried out. His hand hurt. It was red and sore. He dropped the pan. The sausages flew out and landed on the floor. The pan made a loud noise. Mom heard it and came running.
+
+Mom saw what happened. She was angry and worried. She scolded Ben for being naughty and careless. She took him to the sink and ran cold water over his hand. She put a bandage on it. She hugged him and said she was sorry he got hurt.
+
+She also hugged Lily and thanked her for being brave and smart. She said she was proud of her for helping her brother. She said she would make them new sausages. She said they would be more delicious than the ones on the floor.
+
+Ben and Lily learned a lesson. They learned to listen to Mom and not touch hot things. They learned to be patient and not greedy. They learned to be kind and helpful to each other. They enjoyed their lunch and said sorry and thank you to Mom. They ate their sausages and said they were delicious.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big bowl on the table. It was full of red and green balls. They looked yummy.
+
+"Let's eat some!" Ben said.
+
+"No, we can't. Mom said they are dangerous. They are not for us. They are for the cake." Lily said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He climbed on a chair and reached for the bowl. He grabbed a red ball and put it in his mouth. It was very sour and bitter. He spat it out and made a face.
+
+"Yuck! What is this?" He cried.
+
+Lily looked at the bowl and saw a label. It said: "Lemons and limes. Do not eat. For decoration only."
+
+She called Mom. "Mom, Ben ate a lemon. He is not happy. He did not listen to you."
+
+Mom came and saw Ben. She hugged him and gave him some water. She said: "Ben, you should listen to Lily. She is your sister and she cares for you. Lemons and limes are not for eating. They are dangerous. They can hurt your mouth and your tummy. Next time, ask me before you take something from the table. OK?"
+
+Ben nodded and said: "OK, Mom. I'm sorry. I will listen to Lily. And I will not eat lemons and limes again. They are not yummy. They are yucky."
+
+Mom smiled and said: "That's good, Ben. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, how about we make a cake together? You can help me with the frosting. And you can have a slice when it's done. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben and Lily cheered. They said: "Yes, Mom. We love cake. Thank you, Mom."
+
+They hugged Mom and went to the kitchen. They had fun making the cake. And they learned to be careful and respectful.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Lily has a new toy. It is a big case with many colors and shapes. Lily likes her case very much.
+
+Ben sees Lily's case and wants to play with it too. He asks Lily, "Can I play with your case, please?"
+
+Lily says, "No, this is my case. You have your own toys. Go away!"
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He thinks Lily is selfish. He says, "That is not nice, Lily. You should share your toys with your friends. Sharing is good."
+
+Lily says, "No, I don't want to share. This is mine. You can't have it."
+
+Ben says, "Fine, then I don't want to be your friend anymore. You are mean."
+
+He walks away and finds another friend to play with. He offers his friend his toy car. His friend is happy and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. Do you want to play with my toy train?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, I do. Thank you, too. You are a good friend."
+
+They play together and have fun.
+
+Lily sees Ben and his friend playing. She feels lonely and sorry. She realizes she was selfish and rude. She wants to make up with Ben. She takes her case and walks to Ben. She says, "Ben, I am sorry. I was wrong. You can play with my case if you want. I want to be your friend again."
+
+Ben looks at Lily and smiles. He says, "Thank you, Lily. I forgive you. You can play with my car and my friend's train if you want. I want to be your friend again, too."
+
+Lily says, "Thank you, Ben. You are very nice. I am happy to share with you and your friend."
+
+They hug and play together with their toys. They are happy and friendly.
+Tim and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They wanted to see the gorilla, because it was big and strong and hairy. They ran to the cage where the gorilla was, but they could not see it well. There were many people in front of them, and the gorilla was hiding behind a rock.
+
+"Mom, can we go closer?" Tim asked.
+
+"Sorry, honey, we have to wait for our turn," mom said.
+
+Tim and Lily were frustrated. They waited and waited, but the people did not move. They tried to jump and stretch, but they still could not see the gorilla.
+
+Then, they had an idea. They saw a water fountain near the cage. They ran to it and turned it on. They filled their hands with water and threw it at the people in front of them.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" the people shouted. They were wet and angry. They turned around and saw Tim and Lily.
+
+"What are you doing, you naughty kids?" a man said.
+
+"We want to see the gorilla!" Tim said.
+
+"Well, you just soaked us for nothing!" a woman said. "The gorilla is not here today. It is sick and in the vet."
+
+Tim and Lily were shocked. They did not know that the gorilla was not there. They felt bad for the gorilla and for the people they soaked.
+
+"Sorry, sorry," they said.
+
+But it was too late. The people were very mad at them. They told their mom what they did. Mom was very disappointed and ashamed. She scolded them and took them away from the zoo.
+
+Tim and Lily cried. They did not see the gorilla, and they made everyone unhappy. They had a very bad day.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big maze made of bushes. They wanted to go inside and find the way out.
+
+"Let's go, Lily! It will be fun!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, Tom. But we have to be careful. Maybe there are monsters in the maze," Lily said.
+
+They entered the maze and walked around. They saw many paths and turns. They did not know where to go. They started to feel lost and scared.
+
+"Tom, I'm hungry. And I'm tired. Can we go back?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. I can't find the way back. Maybe we should ask for help," Tom said.
+
+They shouted for help, but no one heard them. They felt alone and sad.
+
+Then they heard a growl. It was a big dog. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It wanted to eat them. It ran towards them.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Tom said.
+
+They ran away from the dog. They looked for a place to hide. They found a small hole in the bushes. They crawled inside. The dog could not follow them. It barked and scratched at the hole.
+
+"Tom, I'm scared. The dog is very mean. It will hurt us," Lily said.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily. I will protect you. I will not let the dog get you. You are my sister and I love you," Tom said.
+
+He hugged Lily and made her feel safe. He was brave and strong.
+
+Soon, they heard a voice. It was their mom. She had heard their shouts and came to find them. She saw the dog and scared it away. She found the hole and called their names.
+
+"Lily, Tom, are you there? It's mom. I'm here to help you," she said.
+
+"Mom, mom, we're here! We're OK!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+They crawled out of the hole and ran to their mom. She hugged them and kissed them. She was happy and relieved.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry. We got lost in the maze. And there was a big dog. It was very hungry. It wanted to eat us," Lily said.
+
+"Mom, I protected Lily. I did not let the dog get her. I was brave and strong," Tom said.
+
+"I'm proud of you, Tom. You did a good job. You protected your sister. You showed love and courage," mom said.
+
+She took them out of the maze and gave them some snacks. They ate and drank and felt better.
+
+"Mom, can we go home now? We don't want to play in the maze anymore," Lily said.
+
+"Of course, my sweeties. Let's go home. And remember, never go into a maze without me. It can be dangerous and scary. You need to stay safe and close to me," mom said.
+
+They nodded and agreed. They learned their lesson. They went home with their mom. They were happy and grateful. They loved each other very much.
+Tim was a squirrel who liked to raise acorns. He would find them on the ground, dig a hole, and put them inside. Then he would cover them with dirt and pat them with his paws. He thought he was very smart and clever.
+
+One day, he saw a big acorn on a branch. He wanted to raise it too. He climbed up the tree and reached for the acorn. But it was not an acorn. It was a hornet's nest. The hornets were angry and stung him. Tim fell down and ran away. He was hurt and sad.
+
+Lily was another squirrel who saw what happened. She felt sorry for Tim. She went to him and gave him a real acorn. She said, "This is an acorn. It is good to eat. That was not an acorn. It was a hornet's nest. It is bad to touch. You were foolish to try to raise it."
+
+Tim thanked Lily and ate the acorn. He said, "You are right. I was foolish. I will not raise hornet's nests again. I will only raise acorns. And I will share them with you. You are a good friend."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome. You are a good friend too. Come, let us find more acorns together." And they did.
+Lily likes to see new things. She likes to go on walks with Mom and Dad and see flowers, birds, cars, and people. Sometimes she sees unusual things, like a big balloon in the sky, or a funny hat on a man, or a dog with three legs. She always asks Mom and Dad what they are and they tell her.
+
+One day, Lily goes on a walk with Mom and Dad and sees something very unusual. She sees a big hole in the ground, with a yellow tape around it. She sees a sign that says "Caution: Do not enter". She sees a lot of dirt and rocks and pipes. She wonders what is in the hole and why it is there.
+
+Mom and Dad tell her that the hole is for a new building. They say that people are working hard to make the building. They say that the building will be a library, where there are many books and stories. They say that Lily will like the library when it is done.
+
+Lily thinks that the library sounds nice, but she is still curious about the hole. She wants to see what is inside. She thinks that maybe there are more unusual things in the hole, like a dinosaur, or a treasure, or a fairy. She decides to sneak away from Mom and Dad and go closer to the hole.
+
+She walks past the yellow tape and looks into the hole. She sees something very unusual. She sees a big, shiny, round thing. It looks like a giant ball, but it has windows and doors and lights. It makes a humming noise. She wonders what it is and who is inside. She wants to touch it and see more.
+
+She takes a step into the hole, but then she hears a loud voice. It says "Stop! Do not come closer! This is a spaceship!" She looks up and sees a man in a suit. He has a helmet and a badge. He looks angry and scared. He runs towards her and grabs her hand. He says "You are in danger! This is a secret! You must not tell anyone!"
+
+Lily is scared and confused. She does not understand what is happening. She wants to go back to Mom and Dad. She starts to cry and scream. She wishes she never saw the unusual thing in the hole. She wishes she never left the way.

+So, they went inside and unlocked the door to the attic. They climbed up the rough stairs and onto the roof. Timmy's mom reached up and grabbed the car, handing it down to Timmy. "Thank you, Mommy!" said Timmy. "You're welcome, sweetie," replied Timmy's mom. And they both went back inside, happy to have solved the problem together.
+Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Benny. Benny was famous in his forest for being the fastest bunny around. One day, Benny and his friend, a little bird named Billy, were playing hide and seek. Benny was hiding in a bush when he saw a laser beam coming towards him. He struggled to get out of the bush, but he was stuck. 
+
+"Help, help!" Benny called out to Billy. "I'm stuck and there's a laser coming towards me!" 
+
+Billy flew over to the bush and saw Benny was indeed stuck. "Don't worry, Benny. I'll help you!" 
+
+Billy pecked at the bush until Benny was free. They both ran as fast as they could to escape the laser. 
+
+After they were safe, Benny turned to Billy and said, "Thank you for helping me. I learned that it's important to help our friends when they're in trouble." 
+
+From that day on, Benny and Billy were even better friends and always helped each other out.
+Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Benny. Benny was very small and fluffy. One day, Benny was hopping through the forest when he saw a big, scary bear. Benny felt scared and started to tremble. 
+
+The bear saw Benny and came closer, but then he saw that Benny was harmless. The bear knew that it was wise to be kind to the little bunny. So, the bear said "Hello, little bunny. I won't harm you. Let's be friends!"
+
+Benny was very happy that the bear was friendly. The two of them played together in the forest and shared their wisdom about the world. Benny learned that even though something might look scary, it can be harmless. And the bear learned that being kind is always wise. From that day on, they were the best of friends.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play in his backyard, where he had lots of toys to play with. One day, Timmy saw a new toy in his neighbor's yard. 
+
+Timmy's neighbor was a kind human who loved to share toys with Timmy. "Can I play with your new toy?" Timmy asked his neighbor. "Of course!" his neighbor replied. 
+
+Timmy was so excited to play with the new toy. He ran towards it, but he couldn't reach it. "It's too high!" Timmy said, feeling disappointed. 
+
+His neighbor smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have an idea." His neighbor brought out a ladder and helped Timmy reach the new toy. Timmy was so happy and grateful. 
+
+From that day on, Timmy and his neighbor played together often. Timmy learned that even if he couldn't reach something, there was always someone who could help him.
+Ben and Lily like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the big tank. The tank can move and make noise. Ben and Lily pretend to be soldiers and drive the tank around the room.
+
+One day, they hear a knock on the door. It is their cousin Max. Max is nosy. He always wants to see what Ben and Lily are doing. He says, "Hi, can I play with you?"
+
+Ben and Lily do not want to share their tank. They say, "No, this is our tank. You can play with something else."
+
+Max is not happy. He says, "That is not fair. I want to play with the tank too. Let me see it."
+
+Max tries to grab the tank from Ben and Lily. They pull it back. They start to fight. The tank falls on the floor and breaks. It does not move or make noise anymore.
+
+Ben, Lily and Max are sad. They wish they did not fight. They say, "We are sorry. We should have been nice and shared the tank. Can we fix it?"
+
+They look for the pieces and try to put them together. They work as a team. They fix the tank. It moves and makes noise again.
+
+Ben, Lily and Max are happy. They say, "Hooray, we did it. Now we can all play with the tank. We are friends."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many flowers. They wanted to smell the flowers and see the bees.
+
+"Look, Lily, bees!" Ben said. "They make honey. I like honey."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "But we have to be polite. We can't touch the bees or the hive. They might sting us."
+
+They walked closer to the tree and saw a big hive hanging from a branch. It was brown and round and had a hole. They heard a buzzing sound.
+
+"Hello, bees," Ben said. "Can we smell your flowers?"
+
+But the bees did not like Ben and Lily. They did not want them near their hive. They came out of the hole and flew around them.
+
+"Go away, go away!" the bees said. "This is our home. You are not polite. You are rude."
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want to be stung. They ran away from the tree and the bees.
+
+"I hate bees!" Ben said. "They are mean and angry."
+
+"I hate bees too," Lily said. "They are not nice and friendly."
+
+They found their mom and dad and told them what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were sorry.
+
+"Bees are important for the flowers and the honey," their mom said. "But they don't like strangers near their hive. They think you are a threat. You have to be careful and respectful."
+
+"Maybe we can try again another day," their dad said. "But we have to be very quiet and gentle. And we have to stay far away from the hive."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They learned a lesson. They still liked honey, but they did not like bees. They hoped the bees would be more polite next time.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to be birds and fly around the house. They took a big curtain from the living room and wrapped it around their shoulders like wings. They ran and jumped and flapped their arms, pretending to soar in the sky.
+
+"Look at me, Anna, I'm a blue jay!" Ben said, as he ran to the kitchen.
+
+"I'm a robin, Ben, and I'm faster than you!" Anna said, as she followed him.
+
+They zoomed past their mom, who was busy making lunch. She smiled and said, "Be careful, kids, don't knock anything over."
+
+But Anna and Ben did not listen. They were having too much fun. They flew to the stairs and climbed up to the second floor. They saw their dad's office, where he was busy working on his computer. He did not see them coming.
+
+"Let's fly over his head, Anna, and surprise him!" Ben said, as he flapped his curtain.
+
+"OK, Ben, let's do it!" Anna said, as she flapped hers.
+
+They ran to the door and jumped into the air. They soared over their dad's head, shouting, "We're birds, we're birds!"
+
+But their dad was not happy. He was startled and angry. He looked up and saw them flying with his favorite curtain, the one he got from his grandma. He yelled, "What are you doing, kids? That's my curtain! Give it back!"
+
+He reached up and grabbed the curtain, pulling it down. Anna and Ben fell to the floor, hurting themselves. The curtain ripped in half, making a loud noise. Their dad was very mad. He scolded them and sent them to their room. He said, "You're not birds, you're naughty kids! You ruined my curtain and my work! Go to your room and stay there until I say so!"
+
+Anna and Ben cried and ran to their room. They felt sorry and sad. They wished they had listened to their mom and been careful. They wished they had not played with the curtain. They wished they had not pretended to be birds. They learned their lesson the hard way.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had a big box of toys that they shared. Sometimes they pretended to be soldiers, doctors, or astronauts. They wore different uniforms for each game.
+
+One day, they found a new uniform in the box. It was blue and shiny, with a badge and a hat. Tom put it on and said, "Look, Lily, I'm a policeman! I can catch bad guys and help people. Do you want to be my partner?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not like the uniform. It was too big and scratchy for her. She said, "No, Tom, I don't want to be a policeman. I want to be a dancer. I have a pretty dress and shoes that make noise. I can twirl and jump and make music. Do you want to be my partner?"
+
+Tom shook his head. He did not like the dress and shoes. They were too small and tight for him. He said, "No, Lily, I don't want to be a dancer. I want to be a policeman. It's more fun and exciting. You should try it."
+
+They argued for a while, until they heard their mom call them for lunch. They put the toys back in the box and ran to the kitchen. They saw their dad sitting at the table. He was wearing the same uniform as Tom. He smiled and said, "Hi, kids, how was your playtime?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They realized that the uniform belonged to their dad. He was a real policeman. They felt proud and curious. They asked him, "Dad, what do you do as a policeman? Do you catch bad guys and help people?"
+
+Their dad nodded and said, "Yes, I do. But sometimes it's hard and dangerous. Sometimes I have to go to distant places and leave you and mom for a while. But I always come back and I always love you."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged their dad and said, "We love you too, dad. And we love your uniform. Can we play with it again?"
+
+Their dad laughed and said, "Sure, you can. But only if you share and take turns. And only if you promise to be careful and respectful. And only if you also try other games and uniforms. There are many things you can be and do in this world. You just have to use your imagination and have fun."
+Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box of toys in the park. There were cars, dolls, balls, and puzzles. They were very happy and wanted to play with all the toys.
+
+"Can I have this car, please?" Tom asked Anna.
+
+"OK, you can have the car. Can I have this doll, please?" Anna asked Tom.
+
+"OK, you can have the doll. Can I have this ball, please?" Tom asked Anna.
+
+They went on like this, asking each other for different toys, until they had no more toys left in the box. They looked at each other and smiled. They had so many toys to play with!
+
+But then, a little boy came to the park. He looked sad and lonely. He had no toys to play with. He saw Tom and Anna and their big pile of toys. He walked over to them and said, "Hello, can I play with you, please?"
+
+Tom and Anna looked at the little boy. They looked at their toys. They had so many toys, but the little boy had none. They felt sorry for him. They decided to be generous and share their toys with him.
+
+"Sure, you can play with us. Here, you can have this puzzle, please." Anna said, giving him a puzzle.
+
+"Thank you, that's very nice of you. Here, you can have this car, please." Tom said, giving him a car.
+
+"Thank you, that's very kind of you." The little boy said, smiling.
+
+They all played together with the toys. They had fun and made a new friend. They learned that sharing is caring and that being generous makes everyone happy.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Spot. They run, jump, and roll in the grass. They get very dirty and sweaty.
+
+"Time to bathe, kids!" Mom calls from the house. "You need to wash off the dirt and smell nice."
+
+Lily and Tom groan. They do not want to stop playing. They want to stay outside with Spot. But Mom is firm. She takes them inside and fills the tub with water. She adds some bubbles and shampoo.
+
+"Look, it's hot and bubbly!" Lily says, touching the water. "Can we play with the bubbles, Mom?"
+
+"Sure, but you also need to use the shampoo, okay?" Mom says, handing them a bottle. "It will make your hair clean and soft."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They pour some shampoo on their heads and rub it in. They make funny shapes with their hair, like mohawks and horns. They laugh and splash each other.
+
+"Be careful, don't get shampoo in your eyes!" Mom warns. "It will sting and make you cry."
+
+Lily and Tom rinse off the shampoo with water. They feel the bubbles tickle their skin. They smell the shampoo. It smells like flowers and fruits.
+
+"Wow, you smell so good!" Mom says, wrapping them in towels. "You did a great job bathing!"
+
+Lily and Tom smile. They feel clean and happy. They hug Mom and thank her. They put on their pajamas and go to bed. They dream of playing outside with Spot again.
+True was a little dog who liked to play with his toys. He had a ball, a bone, and a rope. He liked to chew the rope and tug it with his teeth. One day, he was playing with the rope in the yard, when he heard a loud snap. He looked up and saw a big bird flying away with his rope in its claws. True was very angry and scared. He barked and ran after the bird, but it was too fast and too high.
+
+"Give me back my rope!" True shouted. "That is mine!"
+
+The bird did not listen. It flew to a tree and dropped the rope on a branch. True could not reach the rope. He jumped and barked, but it was no use. He felt sad and lonely. He wished he had a friend to help him.
+
+Then, he heard a soft meow. He turned around and saw a little cat sitting on the fence. The cat was black and white and had green eyes. True did not like cats. He thought they were mean and sneaky. He growled at the cat and said, "Go away! This is my yard!"
+
+The cat did not go away. It said, "I can help you get your rope back. I can climb the tree and get it for you. Do you want me to do that?"
+
+True was surprised. He did not expect the cat to be nice. He looked at the cat and then at the rope. He really wanted his rope back. He said, "Why would you help me? You are a cat and I am a dog. We are not friends."
+
+The cat said, "We can be friends. I am new here and I have no one to play with. I saw you playing with your rope and I thought it looked fun. I like to play, too. Maybe we can share the rope and play together. What do you say?"
+
+True thought about it. He was still angry and scared, but he was also curious and lonely. He decided to give the cat a chance. He said, "Okay, you can help me get my rope back. But be careful. The bird might come back and snap at you."
+
+The cat nodded and jumped off the fence. It ran to the tree and climbed up the trunk. It reached the branch and grabbed the rope with its paws. It pulled the rope and threw it down to True. True caught the rope and wagged his tail. He was happy to have his rope back. He said, "Thank you, cat. You are very brave and clever."
+
+The cat said, "You are welcome, dog. You are very kind and friendly." It climbed down the tree and joined True on the ground. They looked at each other and smiled. They decided to play with the rope together. They took turns chewing and tugging it. They had fun and forgot about the bird. They became friends and learned to share. They were not scared anymore. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a small house made of wood and cloth, where they kept their toys and books. Sometimes, they pretended to be animals or pirates or explorers.
+
+One day, they decided to play a game of hide and seek. Tom was the seeker and Mia was the hider. Tom counted to ten and then looked for Mia. He checked behind the trees, under the flowers, and in the shed. He could not find Mia anywhere.
+
+He heard a giggle from the vegetable patch. He ran towards it and saw Mia peeking out from behind a big pumpkin. He shouted, "I found you, I found you!"
+
+Mia jumped out and ran away. She laughed and said, "You have to catch me, you have to catch me!"
+
+Tom chased her across the garden. They ran past the carrots, the beans, and the lettuce. They reached the fence, where there was a big hole. Mia slipped through the hole and said, "Ha ha, you can't get me here!"
+
+Tom followed her and saw a dark forest on the other side. He felt scared. He did not like the forest. It was full of shadows and noises. He said, "Mia, come back, come back! The forest is scary, the forest is scary!"
+
+Mia looked around and saw the forest too. She felt scared too. She did not want to play anymore. She said, "Tom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Let's go back, let's go back!"
+
+They held hands and ran back to the hole. They crawled through it and saw their garden again. They felt happy and safe. They ran to their house and hugged each other. They said, "We are sorry, we are sorry! We won't go to the forest again, we won't go to the forest again!"
+
+They settled in their house and played with their toys and books. They forgot about the forest and the game. They were happy and safe.
+Tom and Lily were going to the park with their mum. They liked the park because it had swings, slides and a big pond with ducks. Mum had a map in her bag to show them the way.
+
+"Can I see the map, Mum?" Tom asked. He liked maps because they had pictures of roads, trees and buildings.
+
+"Sure, Tom. Here you go. But be careful not to lose it or tear it," Mum said. She gave Tom the map and he looked at it with interest.
+
+Lily wanted to see the map too. She was curious about where they were going. She tried to grab the map from Tom, but he held it tight.
+
+"No, Lily. It's my turn. You can see it later," Tom said. He did not want to share the map with his sister.
+
+"Tom, be nice. Lily wants to see the map too. Why don't you show it to her and tell her what you see?" Mum said. She wanted Tom and Lily to get along and have fun.
+
+Tom sighed. He knew Mum was right. He showed the map to Lily and pointed at the park.
+
+"Look, Lily. This is where we are going. The park is here. It has a big green circle. And this is the pond. It has a blue squiggle. And these are the swings and slides. They have red and yellow dots," Tom said.
+
+Lily smiled. She liked the map. It had pretty colours and shapes. She thanked Tom for showing it to her.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. The map is nice. Can I hold it for a bit?" Lily asked.
+
+"Okay, Lily. But only for a bit. And don't lose it or tear it," Tom said. He gave the map to Lily and she held it carefully.
+
+Mum was happy. She saw that Tom and Lily were sharing and talking. She was proud of them. She gave them both a hug and a kiss.
+
+"You are both very good. I love you. Now let's go to the park and have some jolly fun," Mum said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They loved Mum. They loved the map. And they loved the park. They followed Mum and walked to the park, feeling jolly and excited.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many leaves. Tom says, "Let's climb the tree and see the birds." Mia says, "OK, but be careful."
+
+They hold the branches and climb up the tree. They see a nest with three eggs. The eggs are blue. Tom says, "Wow, look at the blue eggs. They are so pretty." Mia says, "Yes, they are. But we should not touch them. They belong to the birds."
+
+They hear a chirp. They look up and see a bird. The bird is blue too. It has a print on its wing. The print looks like a star. The bird is angry. It flaps its wings and pecks at Tom and Mia. Tom and Mia are scared. They say, "Sorry, bird. We did not mean to bother you. We will go down now."
+
+They climb down the tree and run to the swings. They swing high and low. They laugh and have fun. They say, "The blue bird was not nice. But the blue eggs were beautiful. Maybe we can draw them later." They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with maps. They had many maps of different places. They liked to look at the pictures and the colors and the shapes. Sometimes they pretended to go to the places on the maps.
+
+One day, they found a big map of the world. It was round and it could spin. Tom and Lily were very happy. They spun the map and stopped it with their fingers. They looked at where their fingers pointed. They said the names of the places out loud.
+
+"This is China," Tom said. "It has a big wall and pandas."
+
+"This is Australia," Lily said. "It has a big rock and kangaroos."
+
+They spun the map again and again. They learned many new names and things. They had fun.
+
+But then, they heard their mom calling them. It was time for lunch. Tom and Lily put the map away. They ran to the kitchen. They told their mom about the map and the places they saw.
+
+"That sounds very interesting," their mom said. "The map is very useful. It can teach you a lot. Maybe after lunch, we can look at the map together and I can tell you more stories."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were hungry and excited. They loved the map. They wanted to learn more. They thought the map was the best toy ever.
+Lily likes to sing songs. She sings when she wakes up, when she plays, and when she goes to bed. She has many songs in her head. Some are happy, some are sad, some are funny, and some are silly.
+
+One day, Lily wants to sing a new song. She thinks and thinks, but she does not know what to say. She asks her mom for help. Her mom says, "Why don't you sing about something you love?"
+
+Lily thinks some more. She loves her family, her friends, her toys, and her dog. She loves the sun, the moon, the stars, and the rain. She loves the colors, the shapes, the sounds, and the smells. She has so many things to love!
+
+She starts to sing. She sings about everything she loves. She sings with a big smile. Her voice is smooth and sweet. She sings and sings, until she finishes her song. She is very proud of her song. She says, "Mom, I made a new song! Do you want to hear it?"
+
+Her mom hugs her and says, "Of course I do, my dear. You are a wonderful singer. I love your song, and I love you." They sing the song together, and Lily feels very happy. She has made a new song, and she has shared it with her mom.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with letters. They have a big box of letters. They can make words with them.
+
+One day, Sara and Tom want to make a word for their teacher. They think hard. They look at the letters. They find a T, an E, an A and a C. They put them together. They make TEAC.
+
+"Look, we made TEAC!" Sara says. "That is a word for our teacher. She likes to drink teac."
+
+Tom shakes his head. "No, that is not right. That is a bad word. It is not TEAC. It is TEA. You need an H to make TEAC. Where is the H?"
+
+Sara and Tom look for the H. They cannot find it. They are sad. They want to make a good word for their teacher.
+
+Then they hear a clap. They turn around. They see their teacher. She is smiling. She is holding the H.
+
+"Hello, Sara and Tom. I see you are playing with letters. You are very clever. You made a word for me. It is almost TEAC. You just need this H. Here you go. Now you have TEACH. That is what I do. I teach you. Thank you for your word. It is very nice. I am proud of you."

+Anna likes to write in her diary every day. She draws pictures of her family, her friends, and her toys. She also writes some words that she knows, like her name, her age, and her favorite color. She keeps her diary in a secret place under her bed, where no one can find it.
+
+One day, Anna comes home from school and runs to her room. She wants to write about the new supply of crayons that her teacher gave her. She has many colors now, but her favorite is orange. She thinks orange is a happy and bright color. She lifts her bed and reaches for her diary, but it is not there. She looks around and sees her diary on her brother's desk. She is very angry and sad.
+
+She runs to her brother's room and sees him reading her diary. He is laughing and making fun of her pictures and words. He says, "Look at this, Anna. You can't even draw a cat. It looks like a potato. And what is this word? Or-ange? Is that a fruit or a color? You are so silly and dumb."
+
+Anna feels tears in her eyes. She grabs her diary from her brother and shouts, "Give me that! That is mine! You are not allowed to touch it! You are mean and rude!"
+
+Her brother tries to take it back and says, "No, it is mine now. I found it under your bed. It is funny and stupid. I want to show it to my friends. They will laugh too."
+
+Anna and her brother start to pull and tug on the diary. They both want to have it. They do not hear their mother coming up the stairs. She hears them fighting and yelling. She opens the door and sees them with the diary. She is not happy.
+
+She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a diary? Anna, is this yours? Did you give it to your brother?"
+
+Anna says, "No, Mommy. He took it from me. He read it and laughed at me. He is mean and rude."
+
+Her mother says, "That is not nice, brother. You should not take things that are not yours. You should not laugh at your sister. You should say sorry to her and give her back her diary."
+
+Her brother says, "But Mommy, it is funny and stupid. She can't draw or write. She likes orange. Orange is a silly color."
+
+Her mother says, "That is not true, brother. She can draw and write very well. She is learning and growing. She likes orange. Orange is a beautiful color. It is the color of the sun, the flowers, and the carrots. You should respect her and her diary. It is her special and private thing. You should not look at it without her permission."
+
+Her brother says, "Okay, Mommy. I am sorry, Anna. I will not take your diary again. I will not laugh at you again. I will not look at it again."
+
+Anna says, "Thank you, brother. I forgive you. You can look at my diary if you ask me nicely. Maybe I can teach you how to draw and write. Maybe you can like orange too."
+
+Her mother says, "That is very kind, Anna. I am proud of you. You are a good sister. And you are a good brother, too. Now, why don't you hug and make up? And then you can share your new supply of crayons and draw something together."
+
+Anna and her brother hug and make up. They go to Anna's room and share her new supply of crayons. They draw something together. They draw a big orange sun, a big orange flower, and a big orange cat. They smile and have fun. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box has many things inside. They see cars, dolls, books, and a volcano.
+
+"Wow, look at this volcano!" Tom says. "It is big and red and has a hole on top."
+
+"Can we play with it?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, let's do it!" Tom says. "Maybe it can make fire and smoke like a real volcano."
+
+They take the volcano out of the box and put it on the floor. They find a button on the side. They press the button and wait.
+
+Nothing happens.
+
+They press the button again and again. Still nothing happens.
+
+They are sad and confused.
+
+"Why doesn't it work?" Lily says.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is broken. Or maybe it needs batteries."
+
+They look for batteries in the box, but they can't find any.
+
+They hear a voice from the door. It is Tom's dad.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing with my volcano?" he says.
+
+"Your volcano?" Tom and Lily say.
+
+"Yes, it is mine. I got it when I was a kid. It was a gift from my grandpa. He was very rich and he liked to travel. He brought me this volcano from a faraway place. It is very special and rare. It is not a toy. It is a model of a real volcano."
+
+"Wow, really?" Tom and Lily say.
+
+"Yes, really. And it does work, but not with a button. It works with vinegar and baking soda. You need to put them inside the hole and then it will make fire and smoke. But you have to be careful. It can be messy and dangerous. Do you want to see?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily say.
+
+"Okay, but first you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will never play with it without me. And you have to promise me that you will be gentle and respectful with it. It is very old and precious. Can you do that?"
+
+"Yes, we can!" Tom and Lily say.
+
+"Good. Then come with me. I will show you how to make the volcano erupt. It will be fun and amazing. But remember, it is not a toy. It is a volcano."
+Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going to the beach with Mom and Dad. They packed their toys, their hats and their sunscreen. They got in the car and sang songs on the way.
+
+When they got to the beach, they saw the big blue water and the soft yellow sand. They ran out of the car and said, "Welcome, beach! We are here to play with you!" Mom and Dad smiled and followed them with the picnic basket.
+
+Lily and Tom dug holes, made castles and collected shells. They also splashed in the water and chased the waves. They had so much fun. They saw a big red crab and said hello to it. The crab waved its claws and said, "Hello, children. Be careful, the water can be deep and strong. Don't go too far."
+
+Lily and Tom listened to the crab and stayed close to Mom and Dad. But they saw another boy who was foolish. He did not listen to his parents or the crab. He went too far into the water and got caught by a big wave. He cried and shouted for help.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to get Mom and Dad. They pointed to the boy and said, "Look, Mom and Dad, that boy is foolish. He went too far and now he is in trouble. Can we help him?" Mom and Dad nodded and ran to the water. They helped the boy get out of the water and gave him a towel. They also talked to his parents and told them to be more careful.
+
+The boy was scared and sorry. He said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, Lily and Tom. You saved me. I was foolish. I did not listen to anyone. I will not do that again. Can we be friends?" Lily and Tom smiled and said, "Yes, we can be friends. But you have to be smart and safe. The beach is fun, but it can also be dangerous. You have to listen to your parents and the crab. They know what is best for you." The boy nodded and agreed. They all hugged and played together. They had a happy day at the beach.
+Anna and Ben like to play pretend. They have a big box of toys and costumes. Today, they pretend to be pirates. Anna wears a hat and a patch. Ben wears a scarf and a hook. They find a chain in the box. They pretend it is a treasure.
+
+"Arrr, matey, we found the gold!" Ben says. He holds the chain in his hand.
+
+"Let's hide it from the other pirates!" Anna says. She looks around for a good spot.
+
+They see a big tree in the yard. They run to the tree with the chain. They dig a hole under the tree. They put the chain in the hole. They cover it with dirt and leaves.
+
+"We did it! We are the best pirates ever!" Anna says. She gives Ben a high five.
+
+But they do not see the dog. The dog is alert. He smells the chain. He likes shiny things. He runs to the tree. He digs up the chain. He runs away with the chain in his mouth.
+
+"Hey, stop! That's our treasure!" Ben shouts. He chases the dog.
+
+"Come back, you bad dog!" Anna shouts. She chases the dog too.
+
+But the dog is faster. He runs to the street. He does not look for cars. He crosses the street with the chain.
+
+A car comes. The car does not see the dog. The car hits the dog.
+
+The dog yelps. The chain flies out of his mouth. The car stops. The driver gets out. He is scared.
+
+Anna and Ben see the dog. They see the chain. They see the car. They are sad. They cry.
+
+They run to the dog. They hug the dog. They say sorry to the dog.
+
+The driver says sorry to them. He says he will take the dog to the vet. He says he hopes the dog will be okay.
+
+Anna and Ben say goodbye to the dog. They say goodbye to the chain. They say goodbye to the driver.
+
+They go back to the house. They do not want to play pretend anymore. They do not want to be pirates anymore. They want to be friends with the dog. They hope the dog will be okay. They are sad. The end.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of toys in the park. They are very happy. They open the box and see many toys inside.
+
+"Look, Sam, a train!" Tom says. He takes the train out of the box. The train has a long network of cars behind it. Tom likes the train very much.
+
+"Look, Tom, a bear!" Sam says. He takes the bear out of the box. The bear is very hairy and soft. Sam likes the bear very much.
+
+They play with the train and the bear for a while. Then they want to switch toys. Tom gives the bear to Sam and Sam gives the train to Tom. But they are not happy. They want their own toys back.
+
+"Give me the bear!" Tom says. He pulls the bear from Sam.
+
+"Give me the train!" Sam says. He pulls the train from Tom.
+
+They pull and pull. They are angry and sad. They hurt each other and the toys. The network of the train breaks. The hair of the bear falls out. The toys are ruined.
+
+They stop pulling. They look at the toys. They look at each other. They feel sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Sam says. "I should not have pulled the bear from you. You liked the bear very much."
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam," Tom says. "I should not have pulled the train from you. You liked the train very much."
+
+They hug each other. They are friends again. They learn to share and be kind. They put the toys back in the box. They hope someone can fix them. They go home happy.
+Tim and Jen like to play in the park. They see a large rod on the grass. It is long and hard and brown. They want to cut it and make things with it.
+
+Tim and Jen run to the rod. They try to lift it, but it is too heavy. They look for something to cut it. They see a small saw near a bench. It is sharp and shiny and has a handle.
+
+Tim and Jen take the saw and go back to the rod. They take turns to cut the rod. They make loud noises and sawdust. They cut the rod into four pieces. They are happy and proud.
+
+They use the pieces to make a house, a bridge, a sword and a wand. They play with their new things and have fun. They forget about the saw and the rod. They do not see the man who comes to the park. He is angry and sad. He is looking for his saw and his rod. He made them with his own hands. He was going to use them for his work. He sees Tim and Jen and their things. He shouts at them and takes his saw and his rod. He breaks their things and throws them away. He leaves the park.
+
+Tim and Jen are scared and sad. They cry and hug each other. They say sorry to the man, but he does not hear them. They go home and tell their mom and dad. They learn a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should ask before they cut. They should be careful with sharp things. They should be kind and respectful. They say sorry again and hope the man will forgive them. They hope to find new things to play with in the park. They hope to have fun again.
+Tom is a cat who likes to travel. He has a big bag with his toys and food. He goes to many places with his mom and dad. They have a car that is blue and fast.
+
+One day, they go to a place that is very hot. Tom feels the sun on his fur. He is thirsty and tired. He sees a big pool of water. He thinks it is a good place to drink and play.
+
+But the water is not a pool. It is a lake. And the lake has a big animal that is not a cat. It is a crocodile. The crocodile sees Tom and opens his mouth. He wants to eat Tom.
+
+Tom is scared. He runs back to his mom and dad. They see the crocodile and honk the horn. The crocodile is scared too. He goes back to the lake. Tom is safe.
+
+Tom hugs his mom and dad. He is happy. He does not want to travel to the hot place anymore. He wants to go home. He likes his home. It is cool and cozy. And it has no crocodiles.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy train in the garden. They liked to make the train go fast and slow, and toot the horn. Lily was the driver and Ben was the passenger.
+
+"Let's go to the west!" Lily said. "That's where the sun goes to sleep."
+
+"Okay!" Ben agreed. "But how do we get there?"
+
+Lily pointed to a big hill at the end of the garden. "We have to go over that hill. Come on, pull the train with me!"
+
+They both pulled the train along the grass, but it was hard work. The hill was steep and the train was heavy. They puffed and huffed as they climbed.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Ben asked.
+
+"Almost!" Lily said. "Just a little more!"
+
+But then, something bad happened. The train made a loud snap and stopped moving. Lily and Ben looked at it and saw that one of the wheels was broken.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Our train is broken! How will we get to the west now?"
+
+Ben hugged her and said, "Don't be sad, Lily. We can still see the sun. Look, it's making the sky pink and purple. It's very pretty."
+
+Lily looked up and saw the colors. She smiled and said, "You're right, Ben. It is very pretty. Maybe we can fix the train later. But for now, let's watch the sun go to sleep."
+
+They sat down on the hill and watched the sun until it disappeared behind the horizon. They felt happy and warm, even though their train was broken. They knew they had each other, and that was enough.
+Tom is a mailman. He likes to deliver letters and packages to people. He has a big blue truck and a red bag. He puts the letters and packages in the bag and drives to different houses.
+
+One day, he has a very big package. It is for Anna, who lives at the end of the street. He tries to put the package in his bag, but it is too big. He has to tie it to the back of his truck with a rope. He makes a big knot to keep it safe.
+
+He drives to Anna's house. He sees Anna playing in the yard with her dog. She is very happy to see Tom. She likes to get mail. She runs to the truck and sees the big package. She says, "Wow, what is that?"
+
+Tom says, "It is a special delivery for you, Anna. It is from your grandma. She sent you something incredible."
+
+He unties the knot and gives the package to Anna. She opens it and finds a big teddy bear. It is soft and brown and has a red bow. She hugs the teddy bear and says, "Thank you, Tom. Thank you, grandma. This is the best mail ever!"
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to observe things. They had a big book with pictures of animals, plants, and places. One day, they saw a picture of a mountain. It was very high and had snow on top.
+
+"Wow, look at the mountain!" Tom said. "I want to go there and see it."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "Maybe we can find some animals there."
+
+They asked their mom if they could go to the mountain. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay with her. She packed some food, water, and warm clothes for them. Then they got in the car and drove to the mountain.
+
+When they got there, they saw a big sign that said "Welcome to the Mountain Park". They followed a path that led them to a lookout point. There, they could see the whole mountain and the valley below.
+
+"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Lily said. "Look, there's a lake and some trees and some flowers."
+
+Tom nodded. He looked around and saw something moving in the bushes. He pointed at it and said, "Look, there's an animal!"
+
+They walked closer to the bushes and saw a furry creature with big ears and a long tail. It was a fox. The fox saw them and ran away.
+
+"Wow, it's a fox!" Tom said. "It's so cute!"
+
+Lily agreed. She wanted to see more animals. She saw a sign that said "Bear Trail". She said, "Let's go there and see if we can find a bear."
+
+Tom was not sure. He said, "But bears are big and scary. What if they hurt us?"
+
+Lily said, "Don't be frightened. Mom is with us. And maybe the bears are nice and friendly."
+
+Tom was still not sure, but he followed Lily and their mom. They walked along the trail and saw some signs that said "Beware of Bears" and "Do Not Feed the Bears". They also saw some paw prints and some scratch marks on the trees.
+
+Tom felt nervous. He said, "Maybe we should go back. I don't want to see a bear."
+
+Lily said, "Don't be silly. We're almost there. Look, there's a clearing up ahead. Maybe we can see a bear there."
+
+They reached the clearing and saw a big pile of rocks. Behind the rocks, they heard a loud roar. It was a bear. The bear came out of the rocks and saw them. It was very big and brown and had sharp teeth and claws.
+
+Tom and Lily were frightened. They screamed and ran back to their mom. Their mom grabbed them and said, "Don't worry, kids. It's just a bear. It won't hurt us if we don't bother it. Let's just walk away slowly and quietly."
+
+They did as their mom said and walked away from the bear. The bear watched them and then went back to the rocks.
+
+Tom and Lily were relieved. They said, "That was scary. We don't want to see a bear again."
+
+Their mom said, "It's okay, kids. You were brave. You observed a lot of things today. You saw a mountain, a lake, a fox, and a bear. That's amazing. But next time, let's stick to the safer trails, okay?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Okay, mom. We love you."
+
+They hugged their mom and went back to the car. They drove home and told their dad about their adventure. They showed him their book and said, "We saw a mountain today. And a fox. And a bear."
+
+Their dad said, "Wow, you did? That's awesome. You're very lucky. And very smart. You know how to observe things."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They said, "Thank you, dad. We love you too."
+
+They hugged their dad and went to bed. They dreamed of the mountain and the animals. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They want to build a big tower with their blocks.
+
+They start to put blocks on top of each other. They use green blocks, blue blocks, red blocks and yellow blocks. They want their tower to be very tall and pretty.
+
+"How many blocks do we have?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Let's measure them!" Ben says. He gets a ruler and puts it next to the blocks. He counts the numbers on the ruler. "We have ten blocks so far. We need more blocks to make our tower bigger."
+
+"OK, let's get more blocks from the box!" Lily says. She runs to the box and picks up some more blocks. She brings them to Ben and they add them to their tower.
+
+They keep building their tower until they have no more blocks left. They look at their tower and smile. It is very big and colorful. They are proud of their work.
+
+"Wow, our tower is amazing!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, it is! We are good builders!" Ben says.
+
+They hug each other and play with their tower. They have fun with their blocks.
+Lily was a person who liked to make things. She had many tools and toys in her room. She wanted to make a modern car that could fly and talk. She worked hard every day, but it was not easy.
+
+One day, she asked her friend Tom to help her. Tom was good at fixing things. He brought his own tools and toys. They worked together on the car. They used paper, glue, scissors, wheels, buttons, and wires.
+
+"Can you hand me that screwdriver?" Tom asked.
+
+"Here you go," Lily said. "Do you think it will work?"
+
+"I hope so," Tom said. "We are almost done."
+
+They finished the car and put it on the floor. They pushed a button and waited. The car made a noise and lifted off the ground. It flew around the room and said, "Hello, I am a modern car. I can fly and talk. You are Lily and Tom. You made me. Thank you."
+
+Lily and Tom were very happy. They clapped and cheered. They had succeeded. They had made a modern car that could fly and talk. They hugged each other and played with the car. They were proud of themselves. They were good friends.
+Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play dress-up with their mom's clothes. One day, they found a brown suit in the closet. It was big and soft.
+
+"Let's try it on!" said Lily. She put on the jacket and the pants. They were too long for her. She looked funny.
+
+Tom laughed. He wanted to wear the suit too. He took the jacket from Lily and put it on. He buttoned it up. He felt like a grown-up.
+
+"Look at me!" he said. He walked around the room. He pretended to talk on the phone. He said, "Hello, this is Tom. I am very busy. Do not bother me."
+
+Lily did not like that. She wanted the suit back. She pulled on the jacket. Tom did not let go. They started to fight.
+
+"Stop it!" said their mom. She came into the room. She saw the mess. She saw the brown suit. She was angry. She said, "That is my suit! You are not allowed to play with it. It is for work. You could ruin it. Give it to me right now!"
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry. They took off the suit. They gave it to their mom. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We just wanted to have fun."
+
+Their mom hugged them. She said, "I know, my loves. But you have to ask me before you take my things. And you have to be careful with them. They are not toys. Now, go and play with something else. And do not fight."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Okay, mom. We love you." They left the room. They went to find their own toys. They decided to play nicely. They did not want to make their mom angry again. They learned their lesson.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy vehicles. They had cars, trucks, buses and trains. They made noises and pretended to drive them on the floor. One day, they found an enormous vehicle in the garage. It was shiny and red and had a long ladder on top. It was a fire truck.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "Let's play with it!"
+
+"OK, but be careful," Lily said. "It's not ours. It's Daddy's. He is a fireman."
+
+They climbed on the fire truck and explored it. They turned the steering wheel, pushed the buttons, and pulled the levers. They had fun. They did not see the smoke coming from the kitchen.
+
+The smoke was from a pot that Mommy had left on the stove. She had gone to the store and forgot to turn it off. The pot was very hot and the water inside was gone. The pot started to melt and make a fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger. It reached the curtains and the cabinets.
+
+The fire alarm went off. It made a loud noise. Ben and Lily heard it and got scared. They jumped off the fire truck and ran to the door. But the door was locked. They could not get out. They banged on the door and shouted for help. But no one heard them. The smoke filled the garage. They coughed and cried.
+
+The fire truck did not help them. It was only a toy. It could not put out the fire. It could not save them. Ben and Lily were trapped. They were very sad. They hugged each other and waited. They hoped that Daddy would come back soon. But he did not. He was too late. The fire was too big. The garage was too hot. Ben and Lily melted. They were gone. The end.
+One day, a fox was looking for food in the forest. He was very hungry and weak, because he had not eaten for a long time. He saw a big bush with many red flowers. The flowers were blooming and smelled sweet. The fox thought they might be good to eat.
+
+He ran to the bush and tried to bite a flower. But the flower was not food. It was prickly and bitter. The fox spat it out and coughed. He felt a sharp pain in his mouth. He had hurt his tongue and teeth.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "This is not food. This is bad. Who put this here?"
+
+A voice answered from behind the bush. It was a bird. The bird was clever and liked to play tricks on other animals. He had planted the bush to fool the fox.
+
+"I put this here, silly fox," the bird said. "This is not food. This is a rose. Roses are for looking, not for eating. You should know that. You are not smart. You are foolish."
+
+The fox was angry and ashamed. He wanted to catch the bird and make him pay. But he was too weak and hurt to chase him. He could only watch as the bird flew away, laughing.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha!" the bird said. "You are a weak and foolish fox. You fell for my trick. You should learn to find real food, not flowers. Goodbye, silly fox. I will see you again, maybe."
+
+The fox felt sad and hungry. He wished he had not tried to eat the rose. He wished he had found a mouse or a rabbit instead. He hoped he would find some food soon. He hoped he would not see the bird again. He walked away from the bush, looking for a place to rest. He hoped his mouth would heal soon. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that not everything that looks good is good. He learned that some animals are not nice. He learned to be more careful and wise.
+Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many leaves. They want to make a pile of leaves and jump in it.
+
+"Help me, Ben!" Lila says. "We need more leaves for our pile."
+
+"OK, Lila!" Ben says. He runs to the tree and picks up some leaves. He brings them to Lila and puts them on the pile.
+
+They do this many times, until they have a big pile of leaves. They are happy and excited.
+
+"Ready, Lila?" Ben says. "Let's jump in the pile!"
+
+"Ready, Ben!" Lila says. "One, two, three, jump!"
+
+They jump in the pile and laugh. The leaves are soft and colorful. They feel like flying.
+
+But then, they hear a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, you two!" The voice says. "What are you doing with my leaves?"
+
+They look up and see a man. He is angry and scary. He is the gardener of the park. He has a rake in his hand.
+
+"These are my leaves!" He says. "I worked hard to rake them. You are making a mess!"
+
+Lila and Ben are scared. They stand up and try to run away. But the pile of leaves is difficult to get out of. They slip and fall. The leaves stick to their clothes and hair.
+
+"Stop, you two!" The man says. "Come here!"
+
+Lila and Ben cry. They are sorry for making a mess. They wish they had not played with the leaves. They wish they had listened to their mom, who told them to be nice and respectful in the park.
+Ben and Lily were playing catch with a ball in the yard. They liked to run and throw and catch. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+But soon they felt hot and tired. They wanted to rest. They looked for a nice spot to sit and drink some water.
+
+They saw a big lawn with green grass and yellow flowers. It looked soft and cool. They ran to the lawn and lay down on it.
+
+"Ah, this feels good," Ben said. "The lawn is easy on my back."
+
+"Yes, and the flowers are pretty," Lily said. "They smell good too."
+
+They closed their eyes and rested on the lawn. They heard the birds sing and the wind blow. They felt happy and calm.
+
+They stayed on the lawn for a while. Then they got up and played some more. They had a good day.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the park. They wondered what was inside. They decided to open it and see.
+
+They pulled and pushed the box, but it was too heavy. They looked for a way to open it. They saw a small hole on the side. Ben had an idea. He took a stick and used it to tap the hole. He hoped something would happen.
+
+Suddenly, the box opened with a loud noise. Anna and Ben were surprised and happy. They looked inside and saw many lovely things. There were toys, books, clothes, and candy. They felt like they had found a treasure.
+
+They wanted to take some of the things, but then they saw a note. It said: "This box is for the children who have no home. Please do not take anything. They need it more than you. Thank you for being kind and honest."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry for the children who had no home. They realized that the things in the box were not theirs. They decided to leave the box as it was and not take anything. They learned that it is wrong to take what is not yours. They also learned that it is good to help others who have less than you.
+
+They closed the box and went to find their parents. They told them what they had found and what they had done. Their parents were proud of them and hugged them. They said: "You did the right thing. You are very good children. We love you very much."
+Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a big hippo that he likes to make noises with. Lily has a small doll that she likes to dress up. They are having fun, but they are also making a mess.
+
+"Tom, pass me the pink hat for my doll," Lily says.
+
+"No, I want the pink hat for my hippo," Tom says.
+
+"But that's silly, hippos don't wear hats," Lily says.
+
+"Well, dolls don't wear hats either," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, they do, look at this picture," Lily says, showing Tom a book.
+
+Tom and Lily start to argue. They pull the pink hat from each other. They don't hear their mom coming in.
+
+"Wow, what a mess!" Mom says, looking at the toys and books everywhere. "Who made this mess?"
+
+Tom and Lily stop arguing. They look at each other. They look at Mom. They feel bad.
+
+"We did, Mom," they say together.
+
+"Can you please tidy up your toys and books?" Mom says. "Then we can have a snack."
+
+"OK, Mom," Tom and Lily say.
+
+They start to tidy up. Tom gives the pink hat to Lily.
+
+"Here, you can have the pink hat for your doll," Tom says.
+
+"Thank you, Tom," Lily says. "You can have the blue scarf for your hippo."
+
+They smile at each other. They finish tidying up. They hug Mom.
+
+"Good job, Tom and Lily," Mom says. "You are very nice to each other. Now, let's have some cookies and milk."
+Sara likes to speak to her green toy frog. She gives him a name: Bob. She tells him stories and jokes. She asks him questions and pretends he answers. She thinks Bob is her best friend.
+
+One day, Sara's mom says they have to go to the store. Sara wants to take Bob with her. She puts him in her backpack and says, "Come on, Bob, let's go." Mom says, "OK, but don't lose him. He is very small."
+
+At the store, Sara sees many things. She sees apples, bananas, bread, milk, and cookies. She sees toys, books, clothes, and shoes. She sees people, carts, and cashiers. She is very curious. She forgets about Bob.
+
+She opens her backpack and takes out a book. She looks at the pictures and words. She tries to read them. She does not see Bob fall out of her backpack. He lands on the floor. He is very quiet.
+
+A boy sees Bob. He picks him up and says, "Hey, a frog. Cool." He puts him in his pocket and walks away. He does not see Sara. He does not hear her mom.
+
+Sara finishes the book and puts it back. She closes her backpack and says, "Let's go, Bob. It's time to go home." She does not feel Bob. She does not see Bob. She says, "Bob? Bob? Where are you?" She looks around. She is very scared. She cries.
+
+Mom hears Sara. She comes to her and says, "What's wrong, honey?" Sara says, "Bob is gone. I lost him. He is my friend." Mom hugs Sara and says, "Don't worry, sweetie. We'll find him. Maybe he is hiding. Let's look for him."
+
+They look for Bob. They ask people. They check the shelves. They check the floor. They check the carts. They do not find Bob. Sara is very sad. Mom is very sorry.
+
+They go to the cashier. They pay for their things. They leave the store. Sara says, "Bye, Bob. I miss you. I hope you are OK." She does not know that Bob is in the boy's pocket. She does not know that the boy will take him home and speak to him. She does not know that Bob will have a new friend.

+
+One day, Lily and her mother went to the park. They saw many birds, flowers, and trees. They also saw some children playing on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. Lily wanted to join them, but she was shy. She held her mother's hand and watched them from afar.
+
+"Mother, can I play with them?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, you can, my dear," her mother said. "They look friendly and fun. Why don't you go and say hello?"
+
+"But I don't know them, mother," Lily said. "What if they don't like me?"
+
+"Lily, you are a kind and sweet girl. I'm sure they will like you. And if they don't, you can always come back to me. I will always love you, no matter what," her mother said.

+
+She looked at her mother and waved. Her mother waved back and smiled. She was proud of her ordinary girl who did a brave thing.

+
+One day, he hears a loud noise. It is his alarm clock. It makes a beep-beep-beep sound. He opens his eyes and sees a circle on the clock. The circle has a number. The number is seven. That means it is time to wake up and go to school.

+He forgets about his alarm clock and his circle and his number. He forgets about his pillow and his blanket and his dreams. He only thinks about his mom and his special day. He is very glad. He is very happy. He is very awake.
+Sara liked to play with paper. She had many colors of paper, but her favorite was white. White paper was like a blank canvas, where she could make anything she wanted.
+
+One day, Sara decided to fold her white paper into different shapes. She learned how to fold from her big brother, who showed her how to make a hat, a boat, and a plane. Sara wanted to be creative and make something new.
+
+She folded and folded, until she had a small square. Then she folded the corners to the center, and made a smaller square. She did this again and again, until she had a tiny square that looked like a flower.
+
+She was very proud of her paper flower. She showed it to her mom, who smiled and hugged her. She said, "Sara, you are very creative. You made a beautiful flower out of white paper. I love it."
+
+Sara was happy. She put her paper flower in a vase on the table, and went to fold more paper. She wondered what else she could make with her white paper and her creative mind.
+Anna and Ben like to ride their bikes in the park. They always wear their helmets to be safe. One day, Ben falls off his bike and hurts his knee. He cries and says it hurts a lot.
+
+Anna stops her bike and runs to Ben. She sees blood on his knee and feels sorry for him. She says, "Don't cry, Ben. I will help you. Let me see your knee."
+
+She takes a tissue from her pocket and wipes the blood. She says, "You are very brave, Ben. It is just a small cut. It will heal soon. Do you want a band-aid?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "Yes, please. Thank you, Anna. You are very kind."
+
+Anna puts a band-aid on Ben's knee and gives him a hug. She says, "There, all better. Do you want to ride your bike again?"
+
+Ben smiles and says, "Yes, I do. But can you stay with me?"
+
+Anna says, "Of course, I will. You are my best friend. Come on, let's go."
+
+They put on their helmets and ride their bikes together. They have fun and forget about the cut. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big hole near a tree. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's peek in the hole," Tom said. "Maybe there is something fun or cool."
+
+"OK, but be careful," Lily said. "It might be dark or scary."
+
+They walked to the hole and looked inside. It was very dark and they could not see much. They heard a small noise. It sounded like a squeak.
+
+"Hello, who is there?" a voice said from the hole. "Are you friends or foes?"
+
+Lily and Tom were surprised. They did not know who was talking. They did not know what foes meant.
+
+"Hello, we are friends," Lily said. "We are playing in the park. Who are you?"
+
+"I am Max, the mole," the voice said. "I live underground. This is my home. I dig tunnels and find worms and bugs. They are yummy."
+
+Lily and Tom thought that was interesting. They did not know moles lived underground. They did not think worms and bugs were yummy.
+
+"Can we see you, Max?" Tom asked. "We want to meet you."
+
+"Sure, but you have to be very quiet and gentle," Max said. "I am shy and my eyes are not good. I use my nose and ears to find my way. Come closer and I will peek out."
+
+Lily and Tom did as Max said. They were very quiet and gentle. They saw a small furry head with a long nose and tiny eyes peek out of the hole. It was Max, the mole.
+
+"Hello, Max," Lily and Tom said. "You are very cute and soft. We are happy to meet you."
+
+"Hello, Lily and Tom," Max said. "You are very nice and friendly. I am happy to meet you too. Do you want to learn more about underground?"
+
+"Yes, please," Lily and Tom said. "We want to learn more about you and your home. It sounds very important and different."
+
+"OK, then follow me," Max said. "But be careful, the tunnels are narrow and dark. Hold my tail and I will show you the way."
+
+Lily and Tom agreed. They held Max's tail and followed him into the hole. They were curious and excited. They went underground with Max, the mole.
+Lily loved rainbows. She liked to look at them in the sky after the rain. She liked to draw them with her crayons. She liked to wear them on her clothes and her hair. Rainbows made her happy.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big rainbow in the sky. It was very bright and had many colors. She wanted to touch it and play with it. She ran outside with her teddy bear and tried to catch the rainbow. But the rainbow was too far and too high. Lily could not reach it.
+
+Lily was sad. She felt like she lost the rainbow. She hugged her teddy bear and cried. She did not want to go back inside. She wanted to stay with the rainbow.
+
+Then, she heard a voice. It was her mommy. She came outside and saw Lily crying. She asked her what was wrong. Lily told her she lost the rainbow. She pointed at the sky.
+
+Mommy smiled and hugged Lily. She told her she did not lose the rainbow. She said the rainbow was still there, but it was hiding behind the clouds. She said the rainbow would come back again when the sun and the rain made friends. She said the rainbow was a gift from God to make people happy.
+
+Lily looked at the sky. She saw a little bit of the rainbow peeking out from the clouds. She smiled and wiped her tears. She thanked her mommy and her teddy bear. She felt better. She was not troubled anymore. She knew the rainbow would always be there for her.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to find acorns and pretend they were hats or cups or balls. They had a big pile of acorns on a blanket.
+
+"Look, Lily, this acorn is different!" Tom said, holding up a shiny green acorn. "It is not brown like the others. It is green and smooth."
+
+"Wow, Tom, that is a special acorn!" Lily said, admiring the acorn. "Where did you find it?"
+
+"I found it under that big tree over there," Tom said, pointing to a tall oak tree. "Maybe it is a magic acorn. Maybe it can do things."
+
+"Like what?" Lily asked, curious.
+
+"Like... reverse things!" Tom said, making up a word. "Maybe it can make things go backwards or upside down or inside out."
+
+"Let's try it!" Lily said, excited. "What should we reverse?"
+
+Tom looked around and saw a red car parked near the park. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's reverse that car!" he said, running towards the car with the acorn. "Maybe it will go backwards or turn around or flip over."
+
+Lily followed him, laughing. They reached the car and Tom touched the acorn to the car door. Nothing happened.
+
+"Maybe we have to say a magic word," Lily said, disappointed.
+
+"OK, let's say... reverse!" Tom said, loudly.
+
+Just then, the car door opened and a man came out. He looked surprised and angry.
+
+"Hey, what are you kids doing?" he shouted. "Get away from my car!"
+
+Tom and Lily dropped the acorn and ran away, scared. They did not know that the man had just put his car in reverse to leave the park. They thought the acorn had reversed the car.
+
+They ran back to their blanket and hugged each other.
+
+"That was a scary acorn!" Lily said, shaking.
+
+"Let's not play with it anymore," Tom said, nodding.
+
+They decided to play with the brown acorns instead. They were not different. They were safe and fun.
+Sara loves pink. She has many pink cloths. She likes to dress in pink every day. She thinks pink is the best color.
+
+One day, Sara goes to play with her friend Mia. Mia has many cloths too, but not many pink ones. She likes to dress in different colors every day. She thinks all colors are fun.
+
+"Hi, Sara!" Mia says. "Do you want to play dress up with me?"
+
+"Yes, Mia!" Sara says. "But I only want to wear pink cloths. Pink is the best color."
+
+Mia looks sad. She says, "But Sara, I don't have many pink cloths. And I like to wear different colors. Can we share and try different cloths?"
+
+Sara shakes her head. She says, "No, Mia. I only like pink. Pink is the best color. You should wear pink too."
+
+Mia feels hurt. She says, "Sara, you are not being nice. You are not being a good friend. Friends share and respect each other's choices. Colors are not better or worse. They are just different. And different is good."
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She looks at Mia's cloths. She sees many colors. She sees red, blue, yellow, green, purple, and more. She thinks they look pretty. She thinks Mia looks happy. She feels sorry. She says, "Mia, you are right. I am sorry. I was not being nice. I was not being a good friend. Friends share and respect each other's choices. Colors are not better or worse. They are just different. And different is good. Can we play dress up with all the cloths?"
+
+Mia smiles. She says, "Yes, Sara. I forgive you. We can play dress up with all the cloths. And we can have fun with all the colors."
+
+Sara and Mia hug. They play dress up with all the cloths. They try different colors. They laugh and have fun. They learn to appreciate and enjoy diversity. They are good friends.
+Lila was a very enthusiastic daughter. She loved to play, sing, dance and help her mom and dad. She always smiled and said nice things to everyone. She had many friends who liked her a lot.
+
+But there was one thing that Lila hated. She hated broccoli. She thought it was yucky and green and bitter. She did not want to eat it ever. She would make a face and push it away when her mom put it on her plate.
+
+One day, her mom made a special soup for dinner. She said it was good for Lila and it had many things that she liked, like carrots, potatoes, cheese and chicken. Lila was happy and hungry and she took a big spoonful of the soup.
+
+But then she felt something in her mouth that was not like the other things. It was broccoli. Her mom had chopped it very small and put it in the soup. Lila was angry and sad. She spat out the soup and said, "I hate broccoli! I don't want this soup!"
+
+Her mom was surprised and upset. She said, "Lila, that's not nice. You should not say you hate things. You should try new things and be polite. Broccoli is good for you and it makes you strong and healthy. You should eat it and say thank you."
+
+Lila did not listen. She cried and threw her spoon on the floor. She said, "No, no, no! I hate broccoli and I hate this soup! I want something else!"
+
+Her mom was very disappointed. She said, "Lila, you are being very rude and ungrateful. You are hurting my feelings and wasting food. You have to eat what I make for you or you will go to bed hungry. You have to apologize and behave."
+
+Lila did not want to apologize or behave. She wanted to eat something else. She wanted to eat pizza or ice cream or cookies. She did not care about her mom's feelings or the food. She only cared about herself.
+
+She was not a very enthusiastic daughter anymore. She was a very selfish and stubborn daughter. And she did not have many friends who liked her a lot.
+Anna loves jam. She loves to eat jam on bread, on crackers, on pancakes. She loves all kinds of jam: red jam, purple jam, yellow jam. But her favorite jam is green jam. Green jam is made from kiwis and apples and honey. It is sweet and sour and yummy.
+
+One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom and dad. They bring a picnic basket with sandwiches, fruits, cookies and jam. Anna is very happy. She sees a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a merry-go-round. She wants to play with everything.
+
+"Can I go to the slide, mom?" she asks.
+
+"Sure, honey. But first, eat your sandwich. You need some energy," mom says.
+
+Anna opens her sandwich and sees green jam inside. She smiles and takes a big bite. She loves green jam. She eats her sandwich very fast and then runs to the slide. She slides down and laughs. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face.
+
+She sees a boy on the swing. He has brown hair and blue eyes. He looks friendly. Anna wants to make a new friend.
+
+"Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to share the swing?" she asks.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. Sure, I'll share the swing. Do you like the park?" he says.
+
+"I love the park. It's so fun. Do you like jam?" she says.
+
+"I like jam. Jam is good. What kind of jam do you like?" he says.
+
+"I like green jam. Green jam is the best. Do you like green jam?" she says.
+
+"I've never tried green jam. What does it taste like?" he says.
+
+"It tastes like kiwis and apples and honey. It's sweet and sour and yummy. Do you want to try some?" she says.
+
+She takes out a jar of green jam from her picnic basket and a spoon. She scoops some jam and offers it to Ben.
+
+"Here, try some. You'll love it," she says.
+
+Ben takes the spoon and puts it in his mouth. He makes a funny face. He does not like green jam. He spits it out and says:
+
+"Yuck! Green jam is gross. It's too sour and sticky. I don't like green jam. I like red jam. Red jam is made from strawberries and sugar. It's sweet and smooth and delicious."
+
+Anna is sad. She loves green jam. She thinks green jam is the best. She does not understand why Ben does not like green jam. She says:
+
+"But green jam is so good. How can you not like green jam? Red jam is boring. It's too sweet and mushy. I don't like red jam. I like green jam."
+
+They look at each other and frown. They do not agree on jam. They do not want to share the swing anymore. They get off the swing and walk away. They do not say goodbye.
+
+Anna goes back to her mom and dad. She tells them what happened. They hug her and say:
+
+"It's okay, Anna. Not everyone likes the same things. That's what makes us different and special. You can still be friends with Ben, even if you don't like the same jam. Maybe you can find something else you both like. Like cookies, or books, or games."
+
+Anna thinks about it. She likes cookies, and books, and games. Maybe Ben likes them too. Maybe they can still be friends. She decides to give him another chance. She takes a cookie from her picnic basket and walks to Ben. She says:
+
+"Hi, Ben. I'm sorry we fought about jam. Do you want a cookie? I have chocolate chip cookies. They are very good."
+
+Ben looks at her and smiles. He likes cookies. He likes chocolate chip cookies. He says:
+
+"Hi, Anna. I'm sorry too. Do you want to play a game? I have a ball. We can play catch. It's very fun."
+
+Anna nods and takes the ball. She likes games. She likes to play catch. She says:
+
+"Okay, let's play. But first, let's eat our cookies. They are very good."
+
+They sit down and eat their cookies. They share and talk and laugh. They find out they have many things in common. They like the same colors, the same animals, the same stories. They forget about jam. They become friends.
+
+They play catch and have fun. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their face. They love the park. They love cookies. They love games. They love each other.
+One day, a boy named Tom went to the park with his mom. He saw some other boys playing with a ball. He wanted to join them, but they said no. They said he was too small and weak. Tom felt sad and angry.
+
+He saw a big rock on the ground. He picked it up and threw it at the boys. He wanted to hurt them and make them sorry. But the rock hit one of the boys on the head. The boy fell down and did not move. He was dead.
+
+Tom was scared. He ran to his mom and told her what he did. His mom was shocked and sad. She hugged him and said, "Tom, you did a very bad thing. You killed a boy. You can't throw rocks at people. Rocks can hurt and kill. You have to be careful and kind. You have to say sorry and face the consequences."
+
+Tom cried and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, boy. I didn't mean to kill you. I was angry and stupid. I wish I could take it back. I wish I could play with you. I wish you were alive."
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't throw rocks at people. Rocks can hurt and kill. Be careful and kind. Say sorry and face the consequences.
+Lila loved purple. She had a purple dress, a purple hat, a purple ball, and a purple teddy bear. She wanted to get more purple things for her birthday.
+
+One day, she saw a purple flower in the garden. It was delicate and pretty. She wanted to get it and keep it in her room. She ran to the flower and reached out her hand.
+
+"Stop!" said Mama, who was watching her. "That flower is not for you. It is for the bees and the butterflies. They need it to make honey and to fly. If you get it, you will hurt it and them. And it will not last long in your room. It will wither and die."
+
+Lila looked at the flower and felt sad. She did not want to hurt it or the bees and the butterflies. She wanted to make them happy. She also wanted to be happy. She thought for a moment and then said, "Mama, can I get a purple picture of the flower instead? Then I can look at it and remember how beautiful it is, and the flower can stay in the garden and make honey and fly."
+
+Mama smiled and hugged her. "That is a very good idea, Lila. You are a very smart and kind girl. I am proud of you. Come, let's get some paper and crayons and draw the flower together."
+
+Lila and Mama went inside and drew the flower. Lila used her favorite purple crayon and made it as delicate and pretty as she could. She hung the picture on her wall and looked at it every day. She was happy, and so were the flower, the bees, and the butterflies.
+Ben and Lily were eager to play in the hay. They ran to the big barn where the farmer kept the hay. They climbed up the ladder and jumped into the soft hay. They laughed and rolled and made hay angels.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a name!" Lily said. She held up a wooden sign that said "DANGER". She did not know what it meant. She thought it was a funny name.
+
+"Let me see, let me see!" Ben said. He grabbed the sign from Lily and waved it in the air. He did not know what it meant either. He thought it was a toy.
+
+The farmer heard the noise and came to the barn. He saw the sign and his face turned red. He was angry. He shouted at Ben and Lily.
+
+"Get out of here, you little pests! This is not a place to play! This is where I keep the poison for the rats! You could get sick or die if you touch it!"
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped the sign and ran out of the barn. They cried and ran to their mom. They told her what happened. She hugged them and said they were lucky. She said they should never play in the hay again. She said they should always ask before they touch something they do not know. Ben and Lily said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never played in the hay again.
+Ben and Lily are playing with a ball in the park. They throw the ball to each other and try to catch it with their hands. Sometimes they miss and the ball rolls away. They laugh and run after it.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can throw the ball very high!" Ben says. He throws the ball up in the air and waits for it to come down.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's very high!" Lily says. She watches the ball go up and up. She thinks it will never come down.
+
+But the ball does come down. It comes down very fast. It lands on a big dog's head. The dog is confused. It does not like the ball on its head. It shakes its head and barks.
+
+"Uh-oh, Lily, the dog has our ball!" Ben says. He is scared of the dog. He does not want to go near it.
+
+"Me too, Ben, I'm scared of the dog!" Lily says. She holds Ben's hand. They do not know what to do.
+
+"Hey, kids, don't worry, the dog is friendly!" a man says. He is the dog's owner. He sees the ball on the dog's head. He laughs and takes it off. He gives the ball to Ben and Lily.
+
+"Thank you, mister, thank you!" Ben and Lily say. They are happy to have their ball back.
+
+"You're welcome, kids, have fun!" the man says. He pets the dog and walks away.
+
+Ben and Lily smile at each other. They throw the ball to each other and try to catch it with their hands. They are not scared of the dog anymore. They are having fun.
+Tom and Anna like to play with tape. They have many colors of tape. They can make shapes and letters with tape. They can stick tape on the wall or on the floor. They can make tape art.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna are playing with tape in their room. They are making a big tape star on the wall. They are happy and proud of their star. They clap their hands and say, "Look at our star! It is so pretty!"
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She is angry. She sees the tape on the wall and says, "What are you doing? You are making a mess! You are wasting tape! You are not allowed to stick tape on the wall! Take it off right now!"
+
+Tom and Anna are scared and sad. They say, "Sorry, mom. We just wanted to make a star. We did not mean to make a mess. We will take it off." They start to peel off the tape from the wall. It is hard and sticky. Some of the tape rips and leaves marks on the wall. Some of the tape gets tangled in their hair and clothes. They cry and say, "This is not fun. This is not fair."
+
+Mom sees them crying and feels sorry. She says, "I know you were trying to be creative. But tape is not for the wall. Tape is for paper or cardboard. Next time, ask me before you use tape. And don't use so much. Tape is not cheap. Now, come here and let me help you. I will get some scissors and a cloth. We will fix the wall and your hair and clothes. Then, we will have some lunch. You must be hungry."
+
+Tom and Anna nod and say, "Yes, mom. We are hungry. And we are sorry. We love you." They hug mom and say, "Thank you for helping us. Can we still make tape art?" Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. But only on paper or cardboard. And only with a little bit of tape. And only after lunch. Now, let's go to the kitchen. I have some sandwiches and juice for you." They clap their hands and say, "Yay! Sandwiches and juice! And tape art!" They follow mom to the kitchen. They are happy again.
+Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their friends and their toys. But sometimes they want to see what is on the other side of the park. There is a big white gate that blocks the way. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to know what is behind the gate.
+
+One day, they see that the gate is open. They run to the gate and look through. They see a big road with many cars and trucks and buses. They see people and shops and lights and noises. They think it looks exciting. They want to go and explore. They forget about the park and their friends and their toys.
+
+They start to walk through the gate. But then they hear a loud voice. It is their mom. She is calling them. She says, "Lily! Ben! Stop! Come back! It is not safe!" Lily and Ben turn around and see their mom. She looks worried and angry. She runs to the gate and grabs their hands. She pulls them back to the park. She says, "You should never go through the gate without me. The road is dangerous. You could get hurt. You have to stay in the park where it is safe and fun. Do you understand?" Lily and Ben nod. They feel sorry and scared. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We won't do it again. We love the park. We love you." Their mom hugs them and says, "I love you too. But you have to listen to me and follow the rules. Now, let's go and play with your friends and your toys." Lily and Ben smile and say, "Okay, mom." They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun in the park. They forget about the gate and the road. They are happy and safe.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They think it is a magic box.
+
+"Let's use the box to make a castle," Lily says.
+
+"Or a spaceship," Ben says.
+
+They take the box to their room and start to decorate it with crayons and stickers. They make windows and doors and flags and stars. They are very happy.
+
+But then, they hear a knock on the door. It is their cousin Sam. He is famous for being mean and rude. He always breaks their toys and makes fun of them.
+
+"Hi, Lily and Ben. What are you doing?" Sam says.
+
+"We are playing with our magic box," Lily says.
+
+"Magic box? That sounds silly. Can I see it?" Sam says.
+
+Lily and Ben do not want to show Sam their box. They know he will ruin it. But they are afraid to say no.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is very special," Ben says.
+
+Sam comes in and looks at the box. He laughs and says, "This is not a magic box. This is just a stupid box. Watch this!"
+
+He kicks the box and tears it apart. He throws the crayons and stickers on the floor. He makes a big mess.
+
+Lily and Ben are very sad and angry. They cry and shout at Sam.
+
+"Go away, Sam. You are mean and rude. You broke our magic box. We do not like you," they say.
+
+Sam does not care. He says, "You are babies. You have no fun. I am going to play with something else."
+
+He leaves the room and slams the door.
+
+Lily and Ben hug each other and look at their broken box. They feel like they have lost something very important.
+
+But then, they see something shiny under the box. It is a gold coin. It has a picture of a castle and a spaceship on it.
+
+They pick it up and look at each other. They smile and say, "Maybe it was a magic box after all."
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But they also like to drink milk. Milk is good for them. It makes them strong and healthy.
+
+One day, Mommy brings them a big bottle of milk. She says, "Here you go, my sweeties. This is your milk for today. You can share it and drink it whenever you want. But be careful not to spill it or waste it. This is the last bottle we have. The store is out of milk."
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mommy. We love milk. We will share it and drink it nicely. We will not spill it or waste it. We are grateful for the milk."
+
+Mommy smiles and kisses them. She says, "You are very good children. I am proud of you. Now, go and have fun. I will be back soon."
+
+Lily and Tom take the bottle of milk and go to their room. They put it on the table. They decide to drink some milk first. They each take a cup and pour some milk. They drink it slowly and enjoy it. They say, "Mmm, this milk is yummy. We are lucky to have milk."
+
+Then they put the bottle back on the table. They go to play with their toys and books. They have a lot of fun. They laugh and sing and read and draw.
+
+But they do not forget about the milk. They drink some more milk every now and then. They make sure to leave some milk for later. They do not want to finish it all. They want to save some for Mommy. They think, "Mommy works hard for us. She buys us milk and other things. She loves us very much. We want to make her happy. We will give her some milk when she comes back. She will be grateful for the milk."
+Tim was a brave boy who liked to play with his sword. He made it from a stick and some paper. He pretended to be a knight and fight dragons and monsters. He always listened to his mom and dad, because he was obedient.
+
+One day, he went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide that looked like a castle. He wanted to climb it and slide down. He took his sword and ran to the slide. He saw another boy who was also playing with a sword. The boy was bigger and meaner than Tim.
+
+"Hey, that's my slide!" the boy shouted. "Give me your sword, or I will make you cry!"
+
+Tim was scared, but he did not want to give up his sword. He liked his sword very much. He said, "No, this is my sword. I made it myself. You can share the slide, but you cannot have my sword."
+
+The boy got angry and tried to grab Tim's sword. They started to fight. Tim swung his sword and hit the boy's hand. The boy dropped his sword and ran away, crying. Tim picked up the boy's sword and looked at it. It was shiny and metal, with a red handle. It was much nicer than his sword.
+
+Tim felt happy. He had gained a new sword. He climbed the slide and slid down, holding both swords. He felt like a real knight. He saw his mom smiling at him. She was proud of him. She said, "You are very brave, Tim. You stood up for yourself and your sword. But you also have to be kind and share. Do you want to keep both swords, or give one to another child who might want to play?"
+
+Tim thought for a moment. He liked both swords, but he also wanted to make friends. He decided to be kind and share. He said, "I want to keep my sword, the one I made. But I can give this sword to another child who might like it. Maybe we can play together and have fun."
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "That's very generous of you, Tim. You are not only brave, but also kind. I love you very much. Come on, let's go and find a child who might want your sword."
+
+They walked around the park and saw a girl who was sitting on a bench. She looked sad and bored. She had no toys to play with. Tim went to her and said, "Hi, I'm Tim. Do you want to play with me? I have a sword for you. It's very nice and shiny. You can be a princess and I can be a knight. We can have adventures and fight dragons and monsters."
+
+The girl looked at Tim and his sword. She smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Thank you for your sword. It's very pretty. I would love to play with you. You are very nice and friendly."
+
+Tim and Lily became friends. They played with their swords and had fun. They were happy and obedient. They shared the slide and the swings. They made up stories and laughed. They had a great day at the park.
+Lily loved books. She had many books in her room. She liked to look at the pictures and listen to the stories. Her favorite book was about a dog and a girl. The dog was loyal. He always helped the girl when she was sad or scared.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her favorite book with her. She wanted to read it under a big tree. She put the book on the grass and ran to the swings. She had fun swinging high and low.
+
+But when she came back to the tree, her book was gone. She looked everywhere. She asked her mom and dad. They did not see her book. Lily felt very sad. She cried and cried.
+
+Then she heard a bark. She saw a dog running to her. He had something in his mouth. It was her book! The dog was loyal. He had found her book and brought it back to her. Lily was very happy. She hugged the dog and thanked him. She gave him a cookie. The dog wagged his tail.
+
+Lily and the dog became friends. They read the book together under the tree. They both loved books. They both loved each other.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They had a long hose to wet the dirt. They pretended they were chefs and made different shapes with the mud.
+
+"Look, I made a snake!" Ben said, holding a long, thin mud pie.
+
+"I made a cake!" Lila said, showing a round, flat mud pie. "Do you want some?"
+
+Ben nodded and took a bite of the mud cake. He spat it out and made a face. "Yuck! This is not cake, this is poison!" he said.
+
+Lila laughed. "It's not poison, it's mud. You can't eat mud, silly. It's only for playing."
+
+Ben was angry. He threw his mud snake at Lila. It hit her on the head and made her hair dirty. "That's not nice, Ben. You hurt me!" Lila said, crying.
+
+Ben felt sorry. He didn't mean to hurt Lila. He just wanted to make her taste the mud. He ran to the hose and turned it on. He sprayed Lila with water to wash off the mud. "I'm sorry, Lila. I was just joking. Here, let me dry you." he said.
+
+He took a towel and rubbed Lila's hair and face. Lila stopped crying and smiled. She hugged Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. Let's play something else."
+
+They put away the hose and the mud pies. They decided to play with their dolls and cars instead. They had fun and forgot about the mud. They were friends again.
+Sam and Lily were playing with their cars on the floor. Sam had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They made zoom sounds as they moved their cars around.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Sam said.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Lily said.
+
+They were having fun until Sam's car bumped into Lily's car and made it fall over.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily said. She was angry and grabbed Sam's car.
+
+"Give it back, that's mine!" Sam said. He was angry too and tried to take his car back.
+
+They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. They were not happy.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Sam and Lily fighting over the red car.
+
+"What's going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Sam hit my car and made it fall!" Lily said.
+
+"Lily took my car and won't give it back!" Sam said.
+
+Mom looked at them and said, "That's not how we play. You need to share and be kind to each other. Can you say sorry and forgive each other?"
+
+Sam and Lily looked at each other. They felt bad for making each other sad. They let go of the red car and said, "Sorry."
+
+"Sorry."
+
+"Can you forgive me?" Sam asked.
+
+"Can you forgive me?" Lily asked.
+
+They nodded and hugged each other. They felt happy again.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now you can play nicely together. How about you take turns with the red car and the blue car?"
+
+"Okay!" Sam and Lily said.
+
+They picked up their cars and started to play again. They made zoom sounds and laughed.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Sam said.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Lily said.
+
+They had a black car too, but they saved it for later. They wanted to play with the red car and the blue car first. They were friends.
+Ben and Lily were playing hide and seek in the big store. Ben was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran to the back of the store and found a big box. She climbed inside and closed the flap. She thought Ben would never find her there.
+
+Ben looked for Lily everywhere. He checked under the tables, behind the racks, and in the fitting rooms. He could not see Lily anywhere. He started to feel worried. He wondered if Lily had left the store without him. He felt guilty for playing too long.
+
+He decided to ask a lady who worked in the store. He walked up to her and said, "Excuse me, have you seen a girl with brown hair and a pink dress? She is my sister and we are playing hide and seek."
+
+The lady smiled and said, "I think I saw her go to the back of the store. Maybe she is hiding in one of the boxes there. Why don't you go and check?"
+
+Ben thanked the lady and ran to the back of the store. He saw many boxes stacked up. He looked at each one and tried to guess which one had Lily inside. He picked one and opened the flap. He saw a pair of eyes staring at him. He screamed and jumped back.
+
+Lily also screamed and jumped out of the box. She saw Ben and realized he had found her. She said, "Ben, you scared me! Why did you scream like that?"
+
+Ben said, "You scared me too! I thought you were a monster or something. I was looking for you everywhere. I thought you had left me."
+
+Lily hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to scare you or leave you. I was just hiding really well. I love you, Ben."
+
+Ben hugged Lily back and said, "I love you too, Lily. Let's go and find the exit. I think we have played enough for today."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to make things with sticks and leaves and flowers. Tom made a boat with a big stick and a leaf. Lily made a crown with a small stick and some flowers.
+
+"Look at my boat!" Tom said. "It can sail on the water."
+
+"Look at my crown!" Lily said. "It is pretty and shiny."
+
+They showed each other their things. They were happy.
+
+But then a big wind came. It blew Tom's boat away. It blew Lily's crown off her head. They ran after their things. They were sad.
+
+Tom saw his boat in a pond. He tried to reach it. But he could not. It was too far. He wondered how to get it back.
+
+Lily saw her crown in a tree. She tried to climb it. But she could not. It was too high. She wondered how to get it down.
+
+They saw each other. They were angry.
+
+"It is your fault!" Tom said. "Your crown blew my boat away!"
+
+"No, it is your fault!" Lily said. "Your boat blew my crown away!"
+
+They shouted at each other. They were not friends.
+
+Then they saw a man. He was walking by. He had a big hat and a long coat. He looked tidy and kind.
+
+"Hello, children," he said. "What is the matter?"
+
+They told him their problem. He smiled.
+
+"I can help you," he said. "But you have to do something for me first."
+
+"What is it?" they asked.
+
+"You have to make a knot with this rope," he said. He gave them a long rope.
+
+They looked at the rope. They did not know how to make a knot. They wondered what to do.
+
+They tried to twist the rope. They tried to loop the rope. They tried to tie the rope. But they could not. It was too hard.
+
+They looked at each other. They felt sorry.
+
+"Maybe we can help each other," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe we can," Lily said.
+
+They worked together. They followed the man's instructions. They made a knot with the rope. They were proud.
+
+"Very good," the man said. "Now I will help you."
+
+He used the rope to get Tom's boat from the pond. He used the rope to get Lily's crown from the tree. He gave them their things. They were happy.
+
+"Thank you, sir," they said.
+
+"You are welcome," he said. "But remember, it is better to be friends than to fight. And it is better to wonder than to give up."
+
+They nodded. They hugged each other. They were friends.
+
+They played with their things. They thanked the man again. He waved and walked away. They wondered who he was.
+Ben and Mia were playing with paper. They liked to fold it and make shapes. Ben made a boat and Mia made a hat. They were happy.
+
+But then, Max came. Max was a big boy who liked to tease. He saw Ben and Mia's paper shapes and laughed. He said they were silly and ugly. He grabbed Ben's boat and Mia's hat and threw them in the pit.
+
+The pit was a hole in the ground where people put trash. It was smelly and dirty. Ben and Mia were sad and angry. They ran to the pit and tried to get their paper shapes back. But the pit was too deep and they could not reach them.
+
+"Ha ha, look at them!" Max said. "They are trying to get their trash back. They are so dumb!"
+
+Ben and Mia did not like Max. They wanted to make him stop. They looked around and saw a big pile of mud. They had an idea. They picked up some mud and threw it at Max. The mud hit Max in the face and made him dirty and smelly.
+
+"Yuck, what are you doing?" Max said. He wiped the mud off his face and ran away. He was crying and scared.
+
+Ben and Mia smiled. They felt better. They did not care about their paper shapes anymore. They had fun with the mud. They made mud balls and mud pies and mud castles. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with a ball in the park. They pass the ball to each other and have fun.

+
+"Wow, this wall is pretty!" Sara says.
+
+"Yes, it is. I wonder who made it," Ben says.
+
+They look at the wall and see many pictures. They see flowers, animals, stars, and letters. They try to read the letters, but they are too hard.
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is Lily, a girl from their school. Lily is popular. She has many friends and toys. She is also good at reading and writing.
+
+"Hi, Sara and Ben. Do you like the wall?" Lily asks.
+
+"Hi, Lily. Yes, we do. It is very nice. Did you make it?" Sara asks.
+
+Lily smiles and nods. "Yes, I did. I like to paint. I painted the wall with my dad. He helped me with the letters. They say 'Be kind and happy'. Do you know what that means?"
+
+Sara and Ben shake their heads. They do not know.
+
+Lily explains. "It means you should be nice to others and yourself. You should share, help, and say nice words. You should also smile and laugh. That makes you happy."
+
+Sara and Ben think about it. They like to be kind and happy. They like to play with each other and their friends. They like to smile and laugh.
+
+They look at Lily and say, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and happy. We like your wall. It is very pretty and smart. Can we be your friends?"

+Sam and Mia are curious kids. They like to explore and learn new things. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has a sign that says "Do not touch". But Sam and Mia do not listen. They want to see what is inside the box.
+
+They open the box and see a lot of wires and buttons and lights. They look like a fun toy. Sam and Mia start to press the buttons and pull the wires. They hear a beep and a buzz and a click. They think it is a game.
+
+But the box is not a toy. It is a machine that makes motion. It can move things from one place to another. Sam and Mia do not know that. They do not know that they are in danger.
+
+"Look, Mia, this button makes the box glow!" Sam says. He presses the button and the box flashes a bright light.
+
+"Wow, Sam, that is cool!" Mia says. She sees another button and presses it. The box makes a loud noise and shakes.
+
+Suddenly, the box opens a hole in the air. It is a portal. It can take things to another world. Sam and Mia do not know that. They do not know that they need to stay away from the hole.
+

+
+"Sam, wait!" Mia says. She is scared. She does not want to go to the hole. She tries to stop Sam.
+
+But it is too late. Sam is too close to the hole. The hole pulls him in. He screams and disappears.
+
+"Sam! Sam!" Mia cries. She runs to the hole. She wants to get Sam back. She reaches for the hole.
+
+But the hole closes. It is gone. Sam is gone. Mia is alone.
+
+She falls to the floor and cries. She does not know what to do. She does not know where Sam is. She does not know how to get him back.
+
+She wishes she had listened to the sign. She wishes she had not touched the box. She wishes she had not been so curious.
+Sara and Tom liked to swim in the lake. They had a big tent near the water. They slept in the tent at night. One day, they saw a big fish in the lake. It was shiny and had a long tail.

+
+"Can we catch it?" Tom asked.
+
+They got a net and a bucket. They went into the water. They tried to catch the big fish. But the big fish was fast and smart. It swam away from the net. It went to the deep part of the lake.
+
+"Come back, big fish!" Sara called.
+
+But the big fish did not come back. It hid in the deep part of the lake. Sara and Tom were sad. They went back to the tent.
+
+That night, they heard a splash. They looked out of the tent. They saw the big fish jumping out of the water. It was playing with the moonlight. It was happy.
+

+
+"It's so pretty!" Sara said.
+
+They smiled and watched the big fish. They were happy too. They learned that some things are better to watch than to catch. They went back to sleep in the tent. They dreamed of the big fish.
+Tommy loved his dog, Spot. Spot was a healthy dog who liked to run and play. Tommy and Spot did everything together. They went for walks, they played fetch, and they cuddled at night.
+
+One day, Tommy saw a poster for a talent show at his school. He wanted to join the show and have fun. He thought of what he could do. He could sing, he could dance, he could tell jokes. But he wanted to do something special. He wanted to perform with Spot.
+
+He asked his mom if he could take Spot to the show. His mom said yes, but only if he trained Spot well. She said Spot had to be a good dog and listen to Tommy. She said Spot had to do tricks and not bark or bite. She said Spot had to be safe and friendly.
+
+Tommy agreed and started to train Spot. He taught Spot how to sit, roll over, shake, and jump. He gave Spot treats and hugs when he did well. He practiced every day with Spot until they were ready for the show.

+One day, a lazy zebra was lying on the grass. He did not want to run or play with the other zebras. He just wanted to sleep and eat.

+
+The lazy zebra opened one eye and said, "No, thank you. I am happy here."
+
+"But you will miss the big show!" said the monkey. "There is a lion and a crocodile and a hippo and a giraffe and a lot of noise!"

+
+The monkey shrugged and ran away. He wanted to see what was happening.

+
+The lazy zebra was scared. He jumped up and ran away. He wished he had listened to the monkey. He learned that being lazy can be dangerous. He decided to be more alert and curious from then on.
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to jog in the park with their dogs. One day, they jog to the pond and see some ducks. Ben wants to feed the ducks some bread. Lily says no.
+
+"Bread is bad for ducks. It makes them sick. We should not feed them," Lily says.
+
+"But I want to feed them. They look hungry. And I like ducks," Ben says.
+
+He throws some bread to the ducks. The ducks eat the bread. But then they start to quack and flap their wings. They look unhappy. Ben and Lily are scared.
+
+A man comes to the pond. He is a vet. He helps the ducks. He tells Ben and Lily that bread is not good for ducks. He says they should feed them seeds or lettuce instead.
+
+"I'm sorry. I did not know. I wanted to be nice to the ducks," Ben says.
+
+"It's okay. You did not mean to hurt them. But you should listen to your friend. She knows what is good for ducks. And you should learn more about animals before you visit them," the vet says.
+
+Ben and Lily nod. They say sorry to the ducks. They jog back to their dogs. They decide to read some books about ducks and other animals. They want to be good friends to them.

+
+"Can I try?" Lily asks. She reaches for the train.
+
+"Wait, Lily!" Sam says. He does not want to share. He pulls the train away from Lily. Lily is sad. She wants to play with the train too.
+
+"Sam, that is not nice!" Lily says. She tries to get the train back. Sam and Lily tug on the train. They tug too hard. The train breaks. The cars fall off the tracks. The train makes a loud noise. Sam and Lily are scared. They look at the broken train.
+

+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Sam says. He gives Lily a hug. "I should have shared with you. You are my friend."

+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But today, they are bored. They do not want to play with their toys or read their books.
+
+"Let's go outside and play in the garden," says Lily.
+
+"But it is cold and wet outside," says Tom. "I want to stay inside and watch TV."
+
+Lily thinks Tom is lazy. She does not like to watch TV all day. She likes to run and jump and have fun. She looks out of the window. She sees a bird on a tree. The bird is singing and flapping its wings.
+
+"Look, Tom, look!" says Lily. "There is a bird on the tree. It is so pretty and happy. Do you want to see it?"

+
+Lily is sad. She wants to play with Tom. She wants to share the bird with him. She has an idea. She goes to the window. She opens it. She calls the bird. She says, "Hello, bird, hello! Come here, come here!"
+
+The bird hears Lily. It is curious. It flies to the window. It lands on the sill. It looks at Lily. It says, "Hello, hello! Who are you? What do you want?"
+
+Lily is happy. She smiles at the bird. She says, "I am Lily. I want to be your friend. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The bird nods. It says, "Yes, yes! I want to be your friend. You are nice and friendly. What is your name?"
+
+Lily tells the bird her name. She also tells the bird Tom's name. She points at Tom. She says, "That is Tom. He is my brother. He is lazy. He does not want to play with me. He does not want to see you."
+
+The bird looks at Tom. It sees him watching TV. It does not like TV. It thinks TV is boring and noisy. It says, "Tom is lazy. He does not know what he is missing. He does not know how to have fun. He does not know how to make friends."
+
+Lily agrees. She says, "You are right, bird. He does not know. But maybe we can teach him. Maybe we can make him get up and play with us. Maybe we can make him happy."
+
+The bird likes Lily's idea. It says, "Yes, yes! Let's do that. Let's make him get up and play with us. Let's make him happy."
+
+Lily and the bird laugh. They have a plan. They fly to Tom. They tickle him. They tease him. They sing to him. They make him get up and play with them. They make him happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with a big ball in the park. They liked to kick the ball and run after it. Sometimes they tried to catch the ball with their hands. Lily was very good at catching the ball. Ben was not so good. He often missed the ball and fell on the grass.
+
+"Ben, you are too slow!" Lily said. She was bossy and wanted to win. "You need to run faster and jump higher. Like this!" She kicked the ball very hard and jumped to catch it.
+
+But the ball flew too high and too far. It went over the fence and into the street. Lily and Ben ran to the fence and looked for the ball. They saw a big truck coming. The truck hit the ball and made a loud noise. The ball popped and flew away like a string.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said. They felt sad and scared. They lost their ball and it was broken. They did not know what to do.
+
+A lady saw them and came to help. She was nice and kind. She had a new ball in her hand. She gave the ball to Lily and Ben and said, "Don't worry, kids. Accidents happen. Here, you can have this ball. It is shiny and bouncy. But be careful and don't kick it too hard or too far. And don't be bossy. Share and play nicely."
+
+Lily and Ben thanked the lady and smiled. They liked the new ball. They learned their lesson. They played with the ball and with each other. They did not fall or fight. They had fun.
+Sara and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat turkey for lunch. They saw a big turkey in the farm. The turkey was deaf. It could not hear them.
+
+"Let's catch the turkey!" Sara said. "We can step on it and take it home."
+
+"OK!" Tom said. "But we have to be quiet and fast."
+
+They ran after the turkey. They tried to step on it. But the turkey was not stupid. It saw them and ran away. It ran to the fence. It jumped over the fence.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara said. "The turkey is gone!"
+
+"Look!" Tom said. "There is a big dog on the other side of the fence. It is angry. It is barking at the turkey."
+
+The turkey was scared. It tried to run back. But it was too late. The dog was faster. It bit the turkey. The turkey was hurt. It made a loud noise.
+
+Sara and Tom were sad. They could not eat turkey for lunch. They could only watch the dog eat the turkey. They cried. They wished they had not tried to catch the turkey. They wished they had been nice to the turkey.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But they also like to order their parent. They tell their parent what to do and what to give them. They say "I want juice" or "I want a cookie" or "I want to go outside".
+
+Their parent is tired of their orders. Their parent says "You are not the boss. You have to ask nicely and say please and thank you. And you have to share and take turns. And you have to listen and obey."
+
+Tom and Lily do not like to hear that. They think their parent is mean and boring. They want to do what they want. They have a plan. They say "We are going to play in our room. Do not come in. We are busy."
+
+Their parent is curious. What are they doing in their room? Their parent is nosy. Their parent wants to see. Their parent sneaks to their door and opens it a little bit.
+
+Their parent is surprised. Tom and Lily are not playing with their toys or watching cartoons. They are ordering pizza on the phone. They say "We want a large cheese pizza and a bottle of soda. And we want it fast. And we do not want to pay." Their parent is angry. Their parent says "What are you doing? You are not allowed to order pizza. You are in big trouble. Give me the phone right now." Tom and Lily are scared. They say "Oops."
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. One day, they see a gray cat under a tree. The cat is sleeping.
+
+"Look, a cat!" Tim says. He wants to pet the cat.
+
+"Wait, Tim. The cat may be angry or sick," Sam says. He is older and more careful.
+
+"No, the cat is harmless. He is just tired," Tim says. He walks to the cat slowly.
+
+The cat opens his eyes and sees Tim. He is not angry or sick. He is friendly. He meows and rubs his head on Tim's hand.
+
+"See, Sam? The cat likes me. He is a good cat," Tim says. He smiles and sets the cat on his lap.
+
+Sam walks to Tim and the cat. He is not afraid anymore. He pets the cat too.
+
+The cat purrs and closes his eyes. He is happy. He likes Tim and Sam.
+
+They are his new friends.
+Tom is a hungry cat. He likes to eat meat. He does not like to eat fish or cheese or bread. He only likes meat.
+
+One day, Tom sees a big bird in the garden. The bird is fat and brown and has a long neck. Tom thinks the bird is meat. He wants to catch the bird and eat it.
+
+Tom runs after the bird. He jumps and claws and bites. But the bird is fast and smart. It flies away from Tom. It makes a loud noise. It says "Honk! Honk!"
+
+Tom is angry. He goes back to the house. He sees his bowl. His bowl has fish in it. Tom does not want fish. He wants meat. He looks at his mom. He says "Meow! Meow!" He demands meat.
+
+His mom is kind and generous. She loves Tom. She knows he is hungry. She goes to the fridge. She takes out some meat. She cuts it into small pieces. She puts it in Tom's bowl. She says "Here you go, Tom. Some meat for you. Eat and be happy."
+
+Tom is happy. He smells the meat. He licks his lips. He eats the meat. He purrs and rubs his mom's leg. He says "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you."
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was empty and had a hole on one side. Ben had an idea.
+
+"Let's play jail!" he said. "I will be the cop and you will be the bad guy. I will put you in the box and lock you up."
+
+Sam agreed. He crawled into the box and Ben pushed it against the wall. He found a rope and tied it around the hole.
+
+"Now you can't get out!" he said. "You are in jail for a long time!"
+
+Sam did not like this game. He felt uncomfortable in the box. It was dark and hot and he could not move. He wanted to get out.
+
+"Ben, let me out!" he shouted. "This is not fun!"
+
+But Ben did not hear him. He had gone to the kitchen to get a snack. He forgot about Sam in the box.
+
+Sam tried to untie the rope, but it was too tight. He tried to push the box, but it was too heavy. He tried to yell louder, but no one came. He started to cry.
+
+He wished he had not played jail with Ben. He wished he had played something else. He wished he had a friend who would not leave him alone. He wished he was free.
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, they have a task. They have to send a letter to their grandma. Their mom gives them the letter and a stamp.
+
+"Be careful with the letter," mom says. "It is very important. Grandma will be happy to get it."
+
+Ben and Lily nod. They are dependable. They put the letter in their backpack and go outside. They walk to the mailbox. It is not far.
+
+On the way, they see a big dog. The dog is barking. It has sharp teeth. Ben and Lily are scared. They run away. The dog chases them. They drop their backpack. The letter falls out.
+
+The dog sees the letter. It thinks it is a toy. It grabs the letter with its mouth. It tears it to pieces. It spits out the stamp.
+
+Ben and Lily reach their home. They are crying. They tell mom what happened. Mom is angry and sad.
+
+"You lost the letter?" mom says. "How could you do that? It was very important. Grandma will be sad. She will think we don't love her."
+
+Ben and Lily feel bad. They are not dependable. They failed their task. They wish they could send a new letter. But they can't. The dog ruined it. The end.
+Sara and Tom are playing with their toy farm. They have a barn, some animals, and a big field of wheat. Sara likes to pretend she is a farmer and Tom likes to pretend he is a baker.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have so much wheat!" Sara says, holding a handful of yellow straws. "Do you want some for your bread?"
+
+"Yes, please, Sara!" Tom says, taking some wheat from her. "I will make the best bread ever!"
+
+Tom goes to his toy oven and puts the wheat inside. He waits for a few minutes and then takes out a loaf of bread. He is very proud of his bread. He shows it to Sara.
+
+"Wow, Tom, your bread looks so good!" Sara says, smiling. "Can I have a bite?"
+
+"Sure, Sara, here you go!" Tom says, breaking off a piece of bread and giving it to her.
+
+Sara takes a bite of the bread and makes a funny face. She spits out the bread and says, "Yuck, Tom, this bread is fake! It tastes like plastic!"
+
+Tom looks at his bread and sees that it is not real bread. It is a toy bread that he attached to the wheat with some glue. He feels sad and says, "I'm sorry, Sara, I wanted to make real bread, but I don't know how. I only have fake wheat and fake bread."
+
+Sara sees that Tom is sad and hugs him. She says, "It's okay, Tom, I still like playing with you. Maybe we can learn how to make real bread someday. But for now, let's play something else. Do you want to feed the animals?"
+
+Tom nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, Sara, let's feed the animals. Maybe they will like our fake wheat and bread."
+
+Sara and Tom go to the barn and give some wheat and bread to the toy animals. The animals make funny noises and seem to like the food. Sara and Tom laugh and have fun. They forget about the fake bread and enjoy their toy farm.
+Lily and Ben like to joke with each other. They are good friends and they have fun. One day, they find a big ball of yarn in the closet. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's make a yarn spider web!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, let's do that!" Ben agrees.
+
+They take the yarn and start to wrap it around the chairs, the table, the lamp and the door. They make a big, messy web. They laugh and giggle.
+
+"Look, we are spiders!" Lily says.
+
+"Who wants to be caught in our web?" Ben asks.
+
+They pretend to crawl and spin on the yarn. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Mom comes home. She sees the yarn web and she is not happy.
+
+"What is this?" Mom asks.
+
+"It's a yarn spider web!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+"It's a joke!" they add.
+
+Mom does not laugh. She looks angry.
+
+"This is not a joke. This is a mess. You have to clean it up right now!" Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They start to untangle the yarn and put it back in the closet.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they say.
+
+"Next time, ask me before you use the yarn," Mom says.
+
+She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+"I love you, but please don't make a mess like this again," she says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They love Mom too. They learn their lesson. They still like to joke, but they are more careful.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the band. The band is a box with small things that make sounds. Lily likes to shake the bell, and Ben likes to hit the drum.
+
+One day, they want to play with the band, but they cannot find it. They look under the bed, in the closet, and behind the sofa. They do not see the band. They are sad and angry.
+
+"Where is our band?" Lily asks.
+
+"Maybe Mom took it," Ben says.
+
+They go to the kitchen, where Mom is making lunch. They see the band on the table. Mom is using it to teach Sam, their baby brother, about numbers.
+
+"Look, Sam, this is one bell, and this is two drums," Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben run to the table and grab the band.
+
+"Mom, this is our band! We want to play with it!" they say.
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I know, sweeties, but I was just showing Sam some numbers. He likes the sounds, too. Can you share the band with him?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at Sam, who is clapping his hands and laughing. They feel sorry for him. He is too small to play with many toys.
+
+"Okay, Mom, we can share," Lily says.
+
+"Good," Mom says. "How about you take turns? Lily, you can play with the band for five minutes, then Ben, then Sam. I will help you count the minutes."
+
+Lily and Ben agree. They play with the band, and they teach Sam some numbers, too. They have fun, and they are happy. Mom is proud of them.
+Lily and Tom were brother and sister. They lived in a small home with their mom and dad. They liked their home very much. It had a big yard, a cozy kitchen and a lot of toys.
+
+One day, their mom and dad told them they had to sell their home. They said they had to move to a new place far away. Lily and Tom were very sad and frightened. They did not want to leave their home and their friends.
+
+"Why do we have to sell our home?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because we have no money, honey," their mom said. "We have to find a new job and a new home."
+
+"Will we ever come back?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe someday, sweetie," their dad said. "But we have to go now. We have to pack our things and say goodbye."
+
+Lily and Tom hugged their mom and dad. They cried a lot. They packed their things and said goodbye to their home and their friends. They got in the car and drove away. They looked out the window and saw their home getting smaller and smaller. They felt very sad and frightened. They wondered what their new place would be like. They hoped they would be happy there.
+Lily and Ben were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They had big luggage with many things inside. Lily had a colorful dress and a teddy bear. Ben had a blue shirt and a toy car.
+
+They got on a big bus that took them to a big plane. The plane was very loud and fast. Lily and Ben sat next to each other and looked out the window. They saw clouds and birds and houses.
+
+"Look, Lily, a rainbow!" Ben said, pointing at the sky.
+
+"Wow, so pretty!" Lily said, smiling.
+
+They were happy and excited. But then, Ben got bored. He wanted to play with his toy car, but there was no space. He looked at Lily's teddy bear and wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can I see your teddy?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said, hugging it.
+
+"Please, just for a minute!" Ben said, reaching for it.
+
+"No, no, no!" Lily said, pulling it away.
+
+Ben got angry. He pinched Lily's arm hard. Lily cried out loud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Ben, that hurts!" Lily said, rubbing her arm.
+
+Mom and Dad heard them and turned around.
+
+"What's going on?" Mom asked.
+
+"Ben pinched me!" Lily said, showing her arm.
+
+"Why did you do that, Ben?" Dad asked.
+
+"He wanted my teddy!" Lily said.
+
+"That's not nice, Ben. You have to share and be gentle. Say sorry to Lily." Dad said.
+
+Ben felt sorry. He knew he was wrong. He looked at Lily and said, "Sorry, Lily. I won't pinch you again."
+
+Lily looked at Ben and said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. Do you want to hug my teddy?"
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. Lily gave him her teddy and they hugged. Mom and Dad smiled too.
+
+They were happy and excited again. They enjoyed the rest of the trip and saw many new and colorful things.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big zip on the fence of their yard. They wondered what was behind the zip. They pulled the zip and opened a hole in the fence. They saw a lot of cars and trucks and people on the other side. They decided to go through the hole and explore.
+
+They walked around and saw many things they had never seen before. They saw a big store with lots of toys and candy. They saw a park with swings and slides. They saw a school with children and teachers. They saw a fire station with red trucks and hoses. They had a lot of fun, but they did not see any signs or maps to help them go back home.
+
+They started to feel scared and lost. They did not know where their mom and dad were. They did not know how to find their house. They did not have any phones or money. They felt cold and hungry and tired. They wished they had never opened the zip.
+
+They saw a police car driving by. They ran to the police car and waved their hands. The police saw them and stopped. The police asked them who they were and where they lived. Lily and Ben told them their names and their address. The police said they would take them home.
+
+They got in the back of the police car. The police car was warm and safe. The police gave them some water and cookies. The police talked to them and made them feel better. The police drove them to their house. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They hugged them and said they were sorry. They told them what they had done.
+
+Their mom and dad were very worried and angry. They scolded them for opening the zip and leaving the yard. They said they could have been hurt or lost or taken by bad people. They said they should never do that again. They said they should always listen to them and stay where they belong.
+
+Lily and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They thanked the police for helping them. They said they would never open the zip again. They said they would always play in their yard and be good.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: The story teaches the children to obey their parents and not to wander off without permission. It also shows them the dangers of going to unfamiliar places and the importance of asking for help when they are in trouble. It also shows them the kindness and helpfulness of the police.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. The park has a big slide. Lily and Tom want to go on the slide.
+
+"Can we go on the slide, mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, but be careful. The slide is high," mom says.
+
+Lily and Tom run to the slide. They wait for their turn. Then they climb up the steps. Lily goes first. She sits on the slide and slides down. She feels the wind in her hair. She laughs.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" she says.
+
+Tom has an urge to try the slide too. He sits on the slide and slides down. He feels the speed and the thrill. He shouts.
+
+"Yay, that was awesome!" he says.
+
+Lily and Tom look at each other. They smile. They want to go on the slide again. They have so much fun. They play on the slide until it is time to go home. They hug their moms and say goodbye.
+
+"See you tomorrow, Lily!" Tom says.
+
+"See you tomorrow, Tom!" Lily says.
+
+They wave to each other. They are happy. They love to play on the slide.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They saw a big bird on the fence. It had red and yellow feathers and a long tail. It was amazing.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can we touch it?" Ben asked.
+
+They walked slowly to the fence. The bird did not fly away. It looked at them with black eyes.
+
+"Hello, bird," Lily said softly. "We are Lily and Ben. Do you want to be our friend?"
+
+The bird opened its beak and made a loud noise. It sounded like a car horn.
+
+"Honk! Honk!" the bird said.
+
+Lily and Ben laughed. They realized the bird could talk.
+
+"That is so funny!" Ben said. "How do you know how to say that?"
+
+The bird made another noise. It sounded like a phone ringing.
+
+"Ring! Ring!" the bird said.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They realized the bird was copying the sounds it heard.
+
+"You are a smart bird," Lily said. "What is your name?"
+
+The bird looked at them and pointed its beak at a wire on the fence. It had a metal tag on it.
+
+"Wire," the bird said.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They realized the bird's name was Wire.
+
+"Wire, you are amazing," Ben said. "We like you very much."
+
+Wire nodded and flapped its wings. It made a happy sound.
+
+"Thank you, thank you," Wire said.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged Wire and played with him until it was time to go inside. They were very happy to have a new friend.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play on the farm. They had many animals to see and feed, but their favorite was Molly the mule. Molly was mild and gentle, and she let them ride on her back and pet her soft fur.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben wanted to play with Molly, but she was busy eating hay in her stable. They tried to pull her out, but she did not want to go. They pulled harder and harder, and Molly got angry. She snapped at them with her teeth and kicked them with her hoofs. Lily and Ben ran away, crying and hurt.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" they sobbed. "Why did Molly do that? We love her!"
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw their scratches and bruises and hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry, my dears. Molly did not mean to hurt you, but you should not bother her when she is eating. She needs her food to be healthy and happy, just like you. You have to respect her and wait until she is done. Then you can play with her nicely."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson and never pulled Molly again. They waited patiently until she finished her hay, and then they gave her a carrot and a hug. Molly was happy and licked their faces. Lily and Ben smiled and said, "We love you, Molly. You are the best mule ever!"
+Tim was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a round ball. He liked to throw it, catch it, roll it, and bounce it. He did not like to share his ball with anyone. He said, "This is my ball. Go away!"
+
+One day, it was very cold outside. Tim wanted to play with his ball, but he did not have a coat. He asked his mom for a coat, but she said, "No, Tim. You have been very selfish and rude. You did not share your ball with your friends. You did not say thank you or sorry. You did not help me with the chores. You have to learn to be kind and polite. You can play with your ball, but you have to wear your old sweater."
+
+Tim was angry and sad. He put on his old sweater and went outside. He played with his ball, but he did not have fun. He was very cold. He started to shiver. He looked around and saw that no one was playing with him. He felt lonely. He wished he had a friend to play with. He wished he had a coat to keep him warm. He wished he had been nicer to his mom and his friends.
+
+He decided to go back home and say sorry to his mom. He picked up his ball and walked to his house. On the way, he saw a little girl who was also shivering. She had no toys and no coat. She looked sad and lonely. Tim felt sorry for her. He thought, "Maybe I can share my ball with her. Maybe we can be friends. Maybe we can keep each other warm."
+
+He went to the little girl and said, "Hi, I'm Tim. Do you want to play with my ball?" The little girl smiled and said, "Yes, thank you. I'm Lily. I have no toys and no coat. I'm cold and lonely." Tim gave her his ball and said, "Here, you can have it. It's my favorite toy, but I want to share it with you. You can also have my sweater. It's old, but it's warm." Lily hugged him and said, "Thank you, Tim. You are very kind and generous. You are my friend."
+
+They played with the ball and wore the sweater. They stopped shivering and felt warm. They laughed and had fun. They were not lonely anymore. They learned to be happy and grateful. They learned to share and care. They learned the moral value of the story: It is better to give than to receive.
+Tim and Mia like to play in the sand. They have a bucket and a measure. They fill the bucket with sand and turn it over. They make a big sand hill. Then they use the measure to make smaller sand hills on top of the big one.
+
+"Look, Mia, we made a castle!" Tim says.
+
+"Yes, it is a nice castle. But it needs a door," Mia says.
+
+She digs a hole in the big sand hill with her hands. She makes a deep hole. She can put her arm inside.
+
+"Wow, Mia, that is a deep hole. Can I see?" Tim says.
+
+He comes closer to the hole. He wants to put his arm inside too. But he trips over the measure. He falls on the sand. He throws the measure in the air. It lands on the castle. It breaks the smaller sand hills.
+
+"Oh no, Tim, you broke our castle!" Mia says.
+
+She is sad and angry. She picks up the measure. She throws it at Tim. It hits him on the head.
+
+"Ow, Mia, that hurts!" Tim says.
+
+He is sad and angry too. He picks up the bucket. He throws it at Mia. It hits her on the chest.
+
+"Ow, Tim, that hurts more!" Mia says.
+
+They both start to cry. They sit on the sand. They look at their broken castle. They feel sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia, I didn't mean to break our castle," Tim says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tim, I didn't mean to hurt you," Mia says.
+
+They hug each other. They are friends again.
+
+"Let's make a new castle," Mia says.
+
+"OK, let's make a new castle," Tim says.
+
+They smile. They get up. They take the bucket and the measure. They start to play in the sand again. They have fun.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Sara wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Sara says. "I will hold your hand and we will go together."
+
+Ben shakes his head. "No, no, no, it is too high and too fast. I don't like the motion. It makes me dizzy."
+
+Sara tries to make Ben feel better. "It is not so bad, Ben. You just have to close your eyes and enjoy the wind. And when we get to the bottom, we can laugh and hug."
+
+Ben looks at Sara. He sees that she is brave and kind. He wants to be brave and kind too. He nods his head. "Okay, Sara, I will try. But you have to hold my hand tight."
+
+Sara smiles and holds Ben's hand. They climb up the stairs and sit on the slide. Sara counts to three and pushes off. They slide down with a wide grin. They feel the motion and the wind. They scream and giggle. They reach the bottom and hug.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" Ben says. "Thank you, Sara, for holding my hand and helping me. You are a good friend."
+
+Sara hugs Ben back. "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. You were brave and tried something new. I am proud of you."
+
+The moral of the story is: Sometimes we need a friend to hold our hand and encourage us to face our fears. We can have fun and learn new things if we are brave and try.
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. But one day, the sun went away and the sky was gray. It was very cold and the wind was loud.
+
+"Let's go inside," Lily said. "It's too cold to play."
+
+"No, let's stay," Sam said. "I want to see the snow."
+
+Lily shook her head. "Snow is cold and wet. It will make you sick."
+
+Sam frowned. "But snow is fun. You can make snowmen and snowballs and snow angels."
+
+Lily sighed. "Okay, but only for a little bit. And you have to promise me something."
+
+"What?" Sam asked.
+
+"You have to promise me that you will wear your big coat and your hat and your gloves and your boots. And that you will come inside when I say so. Do you promise?"
+
+Sam nodded. "I promise. Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend."
+
+They hugged and went outside. They saw big white flakes falling from the sky. They were snow. Lily and Sam smiled and started to play. They made a big snowman with a carrot nose and a scarf. They threw snowballs at each other and laughed. They made snow angels on the ground and looked at the clouds.
+
+They had a lot of fun, but soon Lily felt very cold. She shivered and rubbed her hands.
+
+"Sam, it's time to go inside," she said. "It's too cold to play."
+
+Sam looked at her and nodded. He remembered his promise. He took her hand and they ran inside. They took off their wet clothes and put on warm ones. They drank hot chocolate and ate cookies. They cuddled on the couch and watched a movie.
+
+They were happy and warm. They kept their promise. They were best friends.
+Lila did not like her new school. She missed her old friends and her old teacher. She did not want to play with the new kids or learn new things. She wanted to quit school and stay home with her parent.
+
+One day, she told her parent, "I do not like school. I want to quit."
+
+Her parent hugged her and said, "I know you are sad, Lila. But you cannot quit school. School is good for you. You can make new friends and learn new things. You can also keep in touch with your old friends. They still love you."
+
+Lila shook her head and said, "No, I do not want to. School is hard and scary. I want to quit."
+
+Her parent said, "How about we make a deal, Lila? You try school for one more week. If you still do not like it, we can talk about it again. But you have to give it a chance. Maybe you will find something you like. Maybe you will meet someone nice. Maybe you will have fun."
+
+Lila thought about it and said, "OK, I will try. But only for one week."
+
+Her parent smiled and said, "That's my girl. I am proud of you, Lila. You are brave and smart. I love you very much."
+
+Lila hugged her parent and said, "I love you too, parent. Thank you for helping me."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasures. Sometimes they found shells, stones, or coins. But today they found something shiny and yellow.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found gold!" Tom said, holding up a small nugget.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's amazing! Can I see?" Lily asked, reaching for the gold.
+
+Tom gave her the gold, but as soon as she touched it, she dropped it and cried out.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It's hot, Tom, it's hot!" Lily said, shaking her hand.
+
+Tom picked up the gold again and felt it. It was hot, very hot. He wondered why.
+
+"Maybe it's from the sun, Lily. The sun is hot and makes things hot," Tom said.
+
+"Or maybe it's from the rock, Tom. The rock is hot and makes things hot," Lily said, pointing to a big rock nearby.
+
+They looked at the rock and saw that it had a hole in it. Smoke was coming out of the hole. It smelled bad.
+
+"Maybe the rock is a volcano, Tom. A volcano is hot and makes things hot," Lily said, scared.
+
+"Let's go away, Lily. A volcano is dangerous and can hurt us," Tom said, grabbing Lily's hand.
+
+They ran away from the rock and the gold, and went to find their mom. They told her what they had seen, but she did not believe them.
+
+"Tom and Lily, you have such big imaginations. There is no volcano in the park, and no gold either. You must have found some foil or something," she said, smiling.
+
+But Tom and Lily knew they had found real gold, and a real volcano. They decided to keep it a secret, and never go near the rock again.
+Tom and Anna are brother and sister. They like to play pretend. Today, they want to travel to a cold place. They put on their hats, scarves and gloves. They find a big box in the garage. They say it is their freezer.
+
+"Are you ready, Anna?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, I am ready, Tom. Let's go to the freezer!" Anna says.
+
+They climb into the box and close the lid. They pretend it is very cold and snowy. They make snowballs and snowmen with their hands. They sing songs and tell jokes. They have fun.
+
+But soon, they start to feel hungry and thirsty. They want some warm food and drink. They open the lid and get out of the box.
+
+"Let's go to the kitchen, Anna. I want some soup and juice," Tom says.
+
+"Me too, Tom. And some cookies and milk," Anna says.
+
+They run to the kitchen and find their mom. She smiles and hugs them.
+
+"Did you have a good trip to the freezer?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, mom. It was fun. But we are hungry and thirsty now," Tom says.
+
+"OK, my little travelers. I have some soup and juice for you. And some cookies and milk for dessert. Come and sit down," mom says.
+
+Tom and Anna sit down and eat and drink. They tell mom about their adventure in the freezer. Mom listens and laughs. She is happy to see them happy. She loves them very much.
+Ben and Mia were playing with their blocks. They wanted to build a big tower that reached the sky. They worked hard and used all the blocks they had available. They were almost complete when they heard a loud noise.
+
+"Boom!" It was thunder. They looked out the window and saw dark clouds and lightning. They were scared.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, where are you?" they cried.
+
+Mommy came running from the kitchen. She saw the storm and the children. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves, I'm here. Let's go to the basement, it's safer there."
+
+She took them by the hand and led them to the stairs. But as they were going down, a big flash of lightning hit the house. It made a hole in the roof and set the blocks on fire. The tower that Ben and Mia had built was gone.
+
+They screamed and cried. Mommy tried to calm them down, but she was also scared. She smelled smoke and saw flames. The fire alarm went off. They had to get out of the house.
+
+But the door was blocked by debris. They were trapped. They called for help, but no one came. The fire was getting bigger and hotter. They could not breathe. They hugged each other and said, "I love you."
+
+They did not make it.
+Tom is a bunny who likes to hop. He hops in the grass, he hops in the dirt, he hops in the sun. He hops with his friends, he hops with his mom, he hops with his dad. He hops all day long.
+
+One day, Tom sees a hose in the garden. He is curious. He hops to the hose. He sniffs the hose. He nibbles the hose. He thinks the hose is fun.
+
+But the hose is not empty. It is full of water. When Tom nibbles the hose, the water comes out. It sprays Tom in the face. It makes him wet. It makes him cold. It makes him sad.
+
+Tom hops away from the hose. He hops to his mom. He hops to his dad. He hops to his friends. They see him wet. They see him cold. They see him sad. They hug him. They dry him. They warm him. They make him happy.
+
+Tom learns a lesson. He learns that hoses are not toys. He learns that hoses can spray water. He learns that water can make him wet. He learns that wet can make him cold. He learns that cold can make him sad. He learns to be careful.
+
+Tom still likes to hop. He hops in the grass, he hops in the dirt, he hops in the sun. He hops with his friends, he hops with his mom, he hops with his dad. He hops all day long. But he does not hop to the hose. He hops away from the hose. He hops to the fun. He hops to the happy. He hops to the love.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to swim in the sea. They had a regular boat that their dad gave them. They would row the boat far from the shore and jump into the water. They were not afraid of anything.
+
+One day, they saw a big fish with a fin on its back. It was a shark. The shark was hungry and wanted to eat them. Tim and Sam did not know what to do. They tried to swim back to the boat, but the shark was faster.
+
+"Help, help!" Tim shouted. "The shark is coming!"
+
+Sam saw a stick floating near the boat. He had an idea. He grabbed the stick and threw it at the shark. The stick hit the shark on the nose. The shark was angry and hurt. It swam away.
+
+"Phew, that was close!" Sam said. "You saved us, Sam!" Tim said. They hugged each other and climbed back to the boat. They rowed back to the shore and told their dad what happened. Their dad was proud of them and gave them a hug. He also told them to be more careful next time. Tim and Sam learned their lesson. They still liked to swim in the sea, but they never went too far from the shore again.
+Tommy was playing with his toy cars in his room. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He heard a noise from the window. He looked and saw a shadow behind the curtain. He was scared. Who was there?
+
+He got up and walked slowly to the window. He pulled the curtain and saw a big bird. The bird had yellow feathers and a long beak. It looked at Tommy with bright eyes. Tommy did not recognize the bird. He had never seen a bird like that before.
+
+"Hello, little boy," the bird said. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tommy was surprised. The bird could talk! He did not know what to say. He wondered where the bird came from and why it was in his window.
+
+"Who are you?" Tommy asked. "Where did you come from?"
+
+"I am Sunny, the parrot," the bird said. "I came from a faraway land. I flew away from my cage and got lost. I saw your window and thought you might be friendly."
+
+Tommy was curious. He liked animals and he wanted to learn more about the parrot. But he also remembered that his mom told him not to talk to strangers. He did not know if he could trust the bird. He thought the bird was mysterious.
+
+"Can I touch you?" Tommy asked.
+
+"Sure, you can," Sunny said. "But be gentle. My feathers are soft and my beak is sharp."
+
+Tommy reached out his hand and stroked the parrot's head. The parrot made a happy sound and nuzzled Tommy's fingers. Tommy smiled. He liked the parrot. He wanted to be friends with him.
+
+"Can you stay with me?" Tommy asked.
+
+"I would love to, but I have to find my way home," Sunny said. "Maybe I can come back and visit you sometime."
+
+Tommy was sad. He did not want the parrot to leave. He wanted to play with him more.
+
+"Please stay," Tommy said. "You can be my pet. I will take good care of you."
+
+Sunny shook his head. "I'm sorry, little boy, but I can't. I belong to the sky. I have to be free. But I will always remember you. You are very kind and brave."
+
+Sunny gave Tommy a kiss on the cheek and flew away. Tommy waved goodbye and watched the parrot disappear in the sky. He felt a tear roll down his face. He missed the parrot. He hoped he would see him again. He went back to his toy cars and tried to cheer up. He had a new friend, even if he was mysterious.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but they always wanted more. One day, their mom and dad told them they were going on a trip to an island. Lily and Ben were very happy and excited.
+
+They packed their bags and got on a big boat. The boat sailed on the water for a long time. The water was rough and made the boat rock. Lily and Ben felt sick and scared. They wished they were home with their toys.
+
+At last, they reached the island. It was very beautiful, with green trees, colorful flowers, and soft sand. Their mom and dad showed them a small hut where they would stay. There were no toys in the hut, only some books and puzzles. Lily and Ben were disappointed and angry. They wanted their toys, not books and puzzles.
+
+They refused to play with the books and puzzles. They complained and cried. They did not want to explore the island or swim in the sea. They did not want to talk to their mom and dad or the other people on the island. They were very rude and selfish.
+
+One night, there was a big storm. The wind blew hard and the rain poured down. The hut shook and leaked. Lily and Ben were very cold and wet. They were afraid and sorry. They realized they had been ungrateful and mean. They hugged their mom and dad and said they were sorry. They said they loved them and they did not need toys to be happy. They said they wanted to learn from the books and puzzles and make friends with the people on the island.
+
+Their mom and dad were very glad and proud. They hugged Lily and Ben and said they loved them too. They said they were happy they had learned a lesson. They said they would receive a surprise the next day.
+
+The next day, the storm was gone and the sun was shining. Lily and Ben woke up and saw a big box outside the hut. They opened it and found many toys inside. They were toys that the people on the island had made for them, with wood, shells, and cloth. They were very beautiful and special. Lily and Ben were very happy and thankful. They shared their toys with the other children on the island. They played and laughed and had fun. They learned to be grateful and kind. They enjoyed their trip to the island.
+On Sunday, Tom and Lily wanted to play with their toy car. But the car was broken. One wheel was missing and the door was loose. They were sad.
+
+"Who can repair our car?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe we can ask Dad. He is good at fixing things," Lily said.
+
+They went to find Dad in the garage. He was working on his bike. He saw the children and smiled.
+
+"Hello, Tom and Lily. What do you have there?" he asked.
+
+"Our car is broken. Can you repair it, please?" Tom said.
+
+Dad looked at the car. He saw the missing wheel and the loose door. He thought for a moment.
+
+"I can try, but I don't have a spare wheel or a door for this car. We have to be creative and use something else," he said.
+
+He searched in his toolbox and found a bottle cap and a rubber band. He used the bottle cap as a new wheel and the rubber band as a hinge for the door. He attached them to the car with some glue.
+
+"There, your car is repaired. It looks different, but it works," he said.
+
+Tom and Lily were happy. They thanked Dad and hugged him.
+
+"Wow, you are so creative, Dad. You made our car even better," Lily said.
+
+They took their car and went to the backyard. They had fun driving it on the grass and the dirt. They didn't mind that it looked different. They loved their car and their Dad.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They wanted to give him a nose, but they could not find a carrot.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a glove on the ground!" Lily said. "Maybe we can use it for the nose."
+
+Ben picked up the glove. It was red and soft. He tried to put it on the snowman's face, but it was too big. It fell off and landed on the snowman's chest.
+
+"That does not look like a nose," Ben said. "It looks like a heart."
+
+Lily laughed. She had an idea. She picked up a stick and broke it in half. She gave one piece to Ben and kept the other. They stuck the pieces on the snowman's face, above the glove.
+
+"Now he has eyes and a heart," Lily said. "He is a happy snowman."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged the snowman. They were proud of their work. They were successful. They went inside to have some hot chocolate. They left the snowman outside, smiling in the sun.
+Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside. One day, they went to the lake with their mom and dad. The lake was big and blue. There were ducks and fish in the water. Ben and Sam enjoyed throwing stones and sticks into the lake. They laughed and ran around.
+
+But the sky was gray. It was going to rain soon. Mom and dad told Ben and Sam to come back to the car. They wanted to go home before the storm. Ben and Sam did not want to leave. They wanted to stay and play more. They did not listen to mom and dad. They ran away from the car.
+
+Mom and dad were angry and worried. They called Ben and Sam's names. They looked for them everywhere. But they could not find them. The rain started to fall. It was cold and wet. The wind was strong. It made big waves in the lake. The waves were scary and loud.
+
+Ben and Sam were scared too. They did not know where to go. They could not see mom and dad. They could not hear them. They were lost. They tried to find the car. But they went the wrong way. They went closer to the lake. The waves got bigger and bigger. They reached the shore. They grabbed Ben and Sam. They pulled them into the water. Ben and Sam screamed. But no one heard them. They sank into the lake. They did not come back.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. But they were also very competitive. They always wanted to be the best at everything. They wanted to have the most toys, the most snacks, the most stickers.
+
+One day, their mom said it was time to bathe. Lily and Tom ran to the bathroom. They both wanted to be the first to use the soap, the shampoo, and the towel. They pushed and pulled and shouted.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You have to share and be nice. There is enough for both of you."
+
+But Lily and Tom did not listen. They kept fighting. They splashed water everywhere. They threw the soap and the shampoo at each other. They ripped the towel in half.
+
+Their mom was very angry. She turned off the water and took them out of the tub. She dried them with a small cloth. She did not give them any hugs or kisses. She did not read them a story. She sent them to bed without dinner.
+
+Lily and Tom felt hungry and sad. They looked at each other. They saw the soap and the shampoo in their hair. They saw the wet spots on their pajamas. They saw the broken towel on the floor. They saw the plate with their favorite food on the table. They wished they had not been so competitive. They wished they had shared and been nice. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they could say sorry. But it was too late.
+Anna liked to splash in the puddles after the rain. She wore her favorite skirt, the one with the flowers and the ruffles. She thought it was unique, because no one else had one like it.
+
+One day, she saw a new girl in the park. She had a skirt too, but it was plain and gray. Anna wanted to be friends with her, so she ran over and said hello. The new girl looked shy and scared.
+
+"Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to splash with me?" Anna asked.
+
+The new girl shook her head. "No, thank you. I don't want to get my skirt wet. It's the only one I have."
+
+Anna felt sad for the new girl. She had many skirts, and she could always change if she got wet. She wanted to share with the new girl, and make her happy.
+
+"Here, you can have my skirt. It's unique, and it's very pretty. You can splash with me, and then we can trade back. I don't mind getting wet," Anna said.
+
+The new girl smiled and nodded. She took off her gray skirt and put on Anna's flower skirt. She felt special and happy. She followed Anna to the puddles and splashed with her. They laughed and played together.
+
+Anna and the new girl became friends. They learned each other's names, and where they lived, and what they liked. They decided to trade skirts every day, so they could both have unique skirts. They always splashed in the puddles after the rain.
+Ben and Mia like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They make piles of cards and match them. They have fun and learn new words.
+
+One day, Ben has an idea. He says to Mia, "Let's make planes with cards. We can fold them and throw them. They will soar in the air like birds."
+
+Mia likes the idea. She says, "Yes, let's do that. It sounds easy and fun."
+
+They take some cards and fold them in half. Then they fold the corners and make wings. They have four planes, two for each. They go to the garden and find a big space.
+
+They throw their planes and watch them soar. They laugh and clap. Their planes fly high and far. They run and catch them. They throw them again and again.
+
+They have a great time playing with cards. They say, "We love cards. They are easy to make and fun to soar."
+Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many colorful toys, like cars, dolls, blocks and books. Sometimes they share their toys, but sometimes they fight over them.
+
+One day, they have a big row. Tom wants to play with Anna's doll, but Anna says no. Anna wants to play with Tom's car, but Tom says no. They start to yell and pull each other's toys. They make a lot of noise and mess.
+
+Their mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy. She says, "Why are you disturbing each other? You should be nice and kind to your twin. You have so many toys, you can play with any of them. Why don't you take turns and say please and thank you?"
+
+Tom and Anna feel sorry. They say sorry to their mom and to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to share their toys and play together. They have more fun and make less noise.
+
+Their mom smiles and says, "That's better. I'm proud of you. You are good twins. Remember, sharing is caring. And caring is loving."
+Anna loved to dance. She liked to move her feet and arms to the rhythm of the music. She had a pink dress that she wore when she danced. It was her favorite dress.
+
+One day, Anna's mom said they had to go to the mall. Anna did not want to go. She wanted to stay home and dance. But mom said they had to buy some things. Anna had to go with mom.
+
+At the mall, Anna saw a store that had many dresses. She saw a shiny dress that was very pretty. It had sparkles and ribbons and flowers. Anna wanted the dress. She asked mom if she could have it.
+
+Mom looked at the dress. She saw the price tag. It was very expensive. Mom said no, they could not buy the dress. They had to spend their money on other things. Anna was sad. She cried and cried. She did not want to leave the store.
+
+Mom tried to calm Anna down. She said they could go to the toy store and look for something else. She said maybe they could find a doll or a book or a puzzle. Anna did not care. She only wanted the dress. She did not want to go to the toy store. She did not want to go anywhere. She wanted to dance in the shiny dress.
+Sam and Tom were brothers. Sam was big and Tom was an infant. Sam liked to play with Tom, but sometimes he was mean. He would take Tom's toys or make him cry.
+
+One day, Sam had a bad idea. He wanted to see what would happen if he put Tom in the wet bath. He said to Tom, "Do you trust me? I have a fun game for you." Tom smiled and nodded. He trusted Sam, because he was his brother.
+
+Sam carried Tom to the bath. He turned on the water and put Tom in. Tom was scared. He did not like the wet bath. He wanted to get out. He cried and splashed. Sam laughed and watched. He did not help Tom.
+
+Mom heard Tom's cry. She ran to the bath. She saw Sam and Tom. She was angry and sad. She took Tom out of the bath. She hugged him and dried him. She said to Sam, "How could you do this? You hurt your brother. You broke his trust. You are a bad brother."
+
+Sam felt sorry. He realized he was wrong. He said to Mom, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Tom. I love you. I won't do it again." Mom said, "You have to learn to be kind and gentle. You have to protect your brother, not hurt him. You have to earn his trust, not break it." She said to Tom, "I'm sorry, Tom. I love you. You are safe now." Tom still cried. He was hurt and scared. He did not trust Sam anymore.
+Tim and Sam are young brothers. They like to play outside in the grass. One day, they find a big jar with holes in the lid. Inside the jar, there are many bugs. Tim and Sam are curious and excited.
+
+"Look, Sam, there are ants and beetles and spiders!" Tim says, holding the jar up.
+
+"Wow, can we keep them?" Sam asks, reaching for the jar.
+
+"No, they are not pets. They need to go back to their homes," Tim says, shaking his head.
+
+"But they are so cool! Can we at least watch them for a while?" Sam pleads, making a sad face.
+
+"Okay, fine. But we have to be gentle and careful. Don't shake the jar or open the lid," Tim warns, handing the jar to Sam.
+
+Sam nods and sits down in the grass with the jar. He watches the bugs crawl and scurry and spin webs. He thinks they are amazing and funny. He forgets what Tim said and starts to shake the jar gently.
+
+"Hey, stop that! You are scaring them!" Tim shouts, seeing what Sam is doing.
+
+Sam stops and looks at Tim. He sees that Tim is angry and scared. He feels sorry and ashamed.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tim. I didn't mean to hurt them. I just wanted to see them better," Sam says, lowering the jar.
+
+Tim sighs and walks over to Sam. He takes the jar from him and looks at the bugs. He hopes they are okay.
+
+"It's okay, Sam. I know you didn't mean it. But you have to remember that they are living things, not toys. They have feelings and needs, just like us. We have to respect them and let them go," Tim says, opening the lid.
+
+Tim and Sam watch as the bugs crawl out of the jar and back into the grass. They say goodbye to them and thank them for letting them see them. They put the jar back where they found it and go back to their house. They hug and promise to be more careful next time. They are still young, but they are learning.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. They have bikes with pedals. Pedals are what you push with your feet to make the bike go.
+
+One day, they see a big gray cat. The cat is sitting on a wall. It looks at them with green eyes.
+
+"Hello, cat!" Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The cat does not answer. It jumps off the wall and runs away.
+
+"Let's follow the cat!" Sam says. "Maybe it will show us something fun!"
+
+They take their bikes and pedal fast. They follow the cat down the street, around the corner, and into the park.
+
+The cat stops by a big tree. It looks at them again. Then it climbs up the tree and disappears.
+
+"Where did the cat go?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe it lives in the tree."
+
+They look at the tree. They see a hole in the trunk. They hear a meow.
+
+"Maybe the cat has babies in the hole," Lily says. "Maybe it wanted us to see them."
+
+They get off their bikes and walk to the tree. They peek into the hole. They see four tiny gray kittens. They are sleeping and purring.
+
+"Wow, they are so cute!" Sam says.
+
+"Can we take one home?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, we can't," Sam says. "They belong to the cat. The cat loves them. We have to let them be."
+
+"OK," Lily says. "But can we come back and visit them?"
+
+"Sure," Sam says. "But we have to be quiet and gentle. We don't want to scare them or the cat."
+
+They smile and wave at the kittens. They say goodbye to the cat. They take their bikes and pedal back home. They are happy. They have made new friends.
+Anna and Ben were two rabbits who lived in a big farm. They liked to play and eat hay every day. But they also liked to do naughty things, like stealing carrots from the farmer's garden, or chewing on his shoes. The farmer was very angry with them, and always tried to catch them and punish them.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben saw a big pile of hay in the barn. They thought it would be fun to jump on it and make a mess. They did not know that the farmer had hidden a trap under the hay, to catch them. They ran to the barn and started to hop on the hay.
+
+"Look, Ben, this is so much fun!" Anna said.
+
+"Yes, Anna, this is very interesting!" Ben said.
+
+But then, they heard a loud snap. The trap had closed around their legs, and they could not move. They felt a lot of pain, and they started to cry.
+
+"Help, help, we are stuck!" Anna said.
+
+"Help, help, we are sorry!" Ben said.
+
+The farmer heard their cries, and came to the barn. He saw them in the trap, and he was very happy. He took them out of the hay, and put them in a cage.
+
+"Now, you naughty rabbits, you will learn your lesson. You will stay in this cage for a long time, and you will not get any carrots or shoes. You will only get hay, and not very good hay. This is your punishment for being bad." The farmer said.
+
+Anna and Ben felt very sad and scared. They wished they had not been so naughty, and they had listened to the farmer. They realized that doing naughty things was not fun, but dangerous. They hoped that the farmer would forgive them, and let them go.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not do naughty things, or you will get punished. Be good, and respect the farmer. Hay is good for you, but not too much.
+Tim and Jen are twins who live on a farm. They love to play in the snow when it is cold outside. They make snowmen, snowballs and snow forts. They have a lot of fun.
+
+One day, they decide to make a snow barn for their toy animals. They use a big bucket to make snow bricks. They stack them up to make walls and a roof. They use sticks and leaves to make doors and windows. They put their toy animals inside the snow barn. They are very proud of their work. They think it is perfect.
+
+But then, the sun comes out and it gets warmer. The snow starts to melt. Tim and Jen see their snow barn getting smaller and smaller. They get sad. They don't want their snow barn to disappear. They try to fix it with more snow, but it doesn't help.
+
+They run to their mom and dad and tell them what is happening. Their mom and dad hug them and tell them not to worry. They say that snow barns are not meant to last forever. They say that they can make a new one next time it snows. They say that they can also play with their toy animals in the real barn, where it is dry and cozy.
+
+Tim and Jen feel better. They understand that snow barns are only for fun, not for keeping. They take their toy animals out of the snow barn and put them in a basket. They go with their mom and dad to the real barn. They see the cows, the horses, the pigs and the chickens. They feed them and pet them. They have a lot of fun. They think the real barn is perfect too.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with rods. They had many rods of different colors and shapes. They pretended that the rods were guns and they could shoot each other. They had fun making noises and falling down.
+
+One day, they found a new rod in the garage. It was black and shiny and had a hole at the end. Tim picked it up and said, "Look, Sam, this is the best rod ever! It looks like a real gun! Let's play with it!"
+
+Sam was scared and said, "No, Tim, that is not a rod, that is a gun. Guns are not for playing, they are dangerous. They can hurt you or me. Put it down, please."
+
+But Tim did not listen. He said, "Don't be silly, Sam, it is just a rod. It can't hurt us. Watch, I will show you." He pointed the gun at Sam and pulled the trigger.
+
+Bang! The gun made a loud noise and a flash. Sam felt a pain in his chest and fell down. He saw blood coming out of his body. He cried and said, "Tim, why did you do that? You shot me! You are not my friend!"
+
+Tim was shocked and scared. He dropped the gun and ran to Sam. He said, "I'm sorry, Sam, I didn't know, I didn't mean to, I thought it was a rod. Please don't die, please don't die!"
+
+But it was too late. Sam was not moving or talking anymore. He was dead. Tim started to cry and scream. He wished he had listened to Sam. He wished he had not played with the gun. He wished he could go back and change everything.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big tunnel made of wood and metal. It looked like a fun place to hide and explore.
+
+"Let's go in the tunnel!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find a treasure or a monster!"
+
+Ben was not sure. He thought the tunnel was dark and scary. He saw some water dripping from the roof. He felt a cold wind blowing from the other end.
+
+"I don't want to go in the tunnel," Ben said. "It looks wet and cold. Maybe there is something bad inside."
+
+Lily laughed. She thought Ben was a baby. She wanted to show him that she was brave and adventurous.
+
+"Don't be a baby, Ben," Lily said. "It's just a tunnel. Nothing bad can happen. Come on, follow me!"
+
+Lily ran into the tunnel. Ben did not want to be left alone. He ran after her. He hoped they would come out soon.
+
+But they did not come out soon. The tunnel was longer and darker than they thought. They could not see where they were going. They could not hear each other. They could only hear the water dripping and the wind howling.
+
+They ran and ran, but they could not find the end of the tunnel. They were lost and scared. They wished they had never gone in the tunnel.
+
+They did not know that the tunnel was an old drain pipe. They did not know that it led to a big river. They did not know that the river was rising because of the rain.
+
+They ran and ran, until they reached the end of the tunnel. But it was too late. The water was too high and too fast. It swept them away. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. They drowned in the river.
+
+The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing with cards. They liked to make houses and towers with them. They had many cards of different colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, I made a big house!" Ben said, showing Lily his card house. He had used many cards to make walls and a roof.
+
+"That's nice, Ben. But can you fit inside?" Lily asked. She wanted to see if Ben could go into his house.
+
+Ben laughed. "No, I can't fit inside. I am too big for the card house. But maybe you can fit. You are smaller than me."
+
+Lily smiled. She liked to try new things. She crawled to Ben's house and tried to fit inside. But she was also too big for the card house. She bumped her head on the roof and knocked down some cards.
+
+"Oops, sorry, Ben. I can't fit either. Your house is too small for us." Lily said, rubbing her head.
+
+Ben was not angry. He hugged Lily and said, "That's okay, Lily. We can make another house. A bigger house. An enormous house. A house that we can both fit inside. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked to play with Ben. They picked up the cards and started to make a new house. An enormous house. A house that they could both fit inside. And they had a lot of fun.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big bush with red berries. Tom says, "Look, Lily, yummy berries! Let's pick some and eat them." Lily says, "No, Tom, those are not yummy berries. Those are bad berries. They make you sick. Mommy told me so."
+
+But Tom does not listen to Lily. He thinks she is stupid. He rushes to the bush and grabs a handful of berries. He puts them in his mouth and chews. He says, "Mmm, they are sweet and juicy. You are silly, Lily. These are good berries. Try some."
+
+Lily shakes her head. She says, "No, Tom, you are stupid. You will be sorry. Those are bad berries. Spit them out." But Tom does not spit them out. He swallows the berries and smiles. He says, "Ha, ha, I am smart. You are dumb. I ate the good berries. You missed them."
+
+But soon, Tom feels a pain in his tummy. He feels sick and dizzy. He says, "Ow, ow, my tummy hurts. I feel bad. Help me, Lily." Lily says, "I told you, Tom, those are bad berries. They make you sick. You are stupid. You did not listen to me. You did not listen to Mommy. Come on, let's go find Mommy. She will make you better."

+Lily takes Tom by the hand and leads him to the bench where Mommy is sitting. She tells Mommy what happened. Mommy is angry and worried. She says, "Tom, you are naughty. You ate the bad berries. You did not listen to Lily. You did not listen to me. You are stupid. You could have been very sick. You need to go to the doctor. Come on, let's go to the car."
+
+Mommy takes Tom and Lily to the car. She drives them to the doctor. The doctor gives Tom some medicine and tells him to drink lots of water. He says, "Tom, you are lucky. You ate the bad berries. They are poisonous. They can make you very sick. You need to be careful. You need to listen to Lily. You need to listen to Mommy. You need to be smart. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nods his head. He says, "Yes, doctor, I understand. I am sorry. I ate the bad berries. I did not listen to Lily. I did not listen to Mommy. I was stupid. I will not do it again. I will be careful. I will listen to Lily. I will listen to Mommy. I will be smart."

Can you finish the tower for me?" Tom says, "Sure, Jen. I will finish the tower for you. And I will send you a message with a picture of the tower. Bye, Jen." Jen says, "Bye, Tom. Thank you."
+
+Jen goes to get her coat. Tom keeps putting blocks on the tower. He wants to make the tower very high. He is proud.
+
+But then, Tom's dad calls him. He says, "Tom, it's time to go to the park. Come and get your shoes." Tom says, "Okay, dad. I will come soon." He looks at the tower. It is almost done. He thinks, "I have to finish the tower for Jen. And I have to send her a message with a picture of the tower. But I also want to go to the park with dad. What can I do?"
+
+Tom has an idea. He runs to get his shoes. He puts them on. He grabs his phone. He takes a picture of the tower. He sends the picture to Jen with a message. The message says, "I finished the tower for you, Jen. It is very high. I hope you like it. See you tomorrow. Tom." He smiles.
+

+
+"Look, a jet!" Ben said. He pointed at the sky.
+
+"Wow, a jet!" Lily said. She waved at the jet. She hoped the jet would see her and wave back.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled. They waved at the jet too. They liked to see Ben and Lily happy.
+
+The jet flew away. Ben and Lily kept playing. They made a sand castle and a sand star. They found some shells and some rocks. They put them on their sand castle and sand star.
+
+They heard a whistle. It was time to go home. They packed their toys and their towels. They helped Mom and Dad to tidy up. They did not want to leave any mess on the beach.
+

+Anna was a playful girl who liked to learn new things. She liked to draw, sing, dance and play with her toys. One day, she got a big envelope in the mail. It was an invitation from her friend Lily. Lily wanted Anna to come to her birthday party.
+
+Anna was very happy and excited. She showed the invitation to her mom and dad. "Look, look, Lily invited me to her party. Can I go, please?" she asked.
+
+"Of course you can go, sweetie. Lily is a good friend and we are happy for her. What do you want to give her as a present?" her mom asked.
+
+Anna thought for a moment. She wanted to give Lily something special and fun. She remembered that Lily liked to learn new things too. She had an idea. "I know, I know. I want to give Lily a book. A book with lots of pictures and words and stories. A book that we can read together and learn from. Do we have a book like that?" she asked.
+
+Her dad smiled and nodded. He went to the shelf and picked a book. It was a book about animals. It had colorful illustrations and simple sentences. It had facts and questions and jokes. It was a perfect book for playful and curious girls like Anna and Lily.
+
+"Here you go, Anna. This is a great book for Lily. I'm sure she will love it. And you can write a nice card for her too. Do you want to do that?" he asked.
+
+Anna nodded and hugged the book. She was very happy. She took some paper and crayons and wrote a card for Lily. She drew a picture of them holding hands and smiling. She wrote: "Happy birthday, Lily. You are my best friend. I hope you like this book. We can read it and learn together. Love, Anna."
+
+She put the card and the book in a gift bag and decorated it with stickers and ribbons. She was ready to go to the party. She knew it would be a lot of fun. She couldn't wait to see Lily and give her the present. She hoped Lily would like it as much as she did. She was sure they would have a playful and learning time.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw some big balloons in the sky. They were red and blue and yellow. They wanted to touch them.
+
+"Look, Tom, balloons!" Lily said. "Let's go and get them!"
+
+They ran to the balloons. They were tied to a man. He was selling them. He smiled at Lily and Tom.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Do you want a balloon?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+The man gave them each a balloon. Lily got a red one. Tom got a blue one. They were very happy. They thanked the man and ran away.
+
+They clapped their hands and laughed. They held their balloons tight. They felt the wind on their faces. It was a nice day.
+
+But the wind was not harmless. It was strong and tricky. It wanted to play with the balloons. It blew harder and harder. It pulled the balloons away from Lily and Tom.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lily and Tom shouted. "Give us back our balloons!"
+
+But the wind did not listen. It took the balloons higher and higher. Lily and Tom could not reach them. They felt sad and angry.
+
+They watched their balloons fly away. They were tiny dots in the sky. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+They wished they had not let go of their balloons. They wished they had not run to the man. They wished they had stayed on the slide. They learned a lesson. They would be more careful next time.
+Anna and Ben were twins who loved to play outside. One day, they saw a man with a guitar on the street. He was a musician who sang songs for people. Anna and Ben liked his music and wanted to listen.
+
+"Hello, musician," Anna said. "Can we hear your songs?"
+
+The musician smiled and nodded. He played a happy song and a sad song and a funny song. Anna and Ben clapped and laughed and sang along.
+
+But then, a big dog came and barked at the musician. The dog was angry and wanted to bite him. The musician was scared and ran away. He dropped his guitar and his hat with some coins.
+
+"Bad dog, go away!" Ben shouted. He threw a stick at the dog and made it run away too.
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry for the musician. They picked up his guitar and his hat and looked for him. They found him hiding behind a tree. He was shivering and hurt.
+
+"Are you okay, musician?" Anna asked. "We have your guitar and your hat. We are sorry the dog scared you."
+
+The musician thanked them and hugged them. He said they were very kind and brave. He gave them each a coin and a kiss. He said he would play more songs for them another day.
+
+Anna and Ben were happy and proud. They learned that it is good to help others who are in trouble. They also learned that music can make people happy and sad and funny. They went home and told their mom and dad about their adventure.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the attic. They had many toys and books there, but they also liked to look for new things. One day, they found a big box full of old clothes and hats. They decided to try them on and pretend to be different people.
+
+"Look, I'm a king!" Tom said, putting on a crown and a cape. "You have to do what I say!"
+
+"No, I'm a queen!" Lily said, wearing a dress and a necklace. "You have to be nice to me!"
+
+They argued and laughed, until they heard a small noise from the box. They stopped and looked inside. There was a mouse, hiding under a scarf. It had big ears and a long tail. It looked scared.
+
+"Hello, mouse!" Tom said, reaching out his hand. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The mouse squeaked and ran away, looking for a hole to escape. Tom and Lily followed it, curious and excited.
+
+"Wait, mouse!" Lily said, trying to catch it. "We won't hurt you!"
+
+They chased the mouse around the attic, but it was too fast and clever. It found a crack in the wall and slipped through it. Tom and Lily were disappointed. They wanted to make friends with the mouse.
+
+"Maybe it will come back later," Tom said, hoping.
+
+"Maybe it will bring more mice," Lily said, smiling.
+
+They went back to the box and looked for more things to play with. They found a cheap plastic sword and a cheap plastic tiara. They decided to be a knight and a princess, and have more fun. They forgot about the mouse, but the mouse did not forget about them. It watched them from the crack, curious and lonely. It wished it could play with them, too. It decided to settle in the attic, and wait for another chance.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to prepare a cake for their mom. Lily was bossy. She told Ben what to do.
+
+"Ben, you mix the flour and the sugar. I will break the eggs. Be careful, do not spill!" Lily said.
+
+Ben did what Lily said. He mixed the flour and the sugar in a big bowl. He used a spoon. He liked to mix. He saw some chocolate chips on the counter. He wanted to add them to the cake.
+
+"Lily, can we put some chocolate chips in the cake? Mom likes chocolate." Ben asked.
+
+"No, Ben, we can't. The recipe does not say chocolate chips. We have to follow the recipe. Chocolate chips are for cookies, not for cake." Lily said.
+
+Ben was sad. He liked chocolate chips. He thought they would make the cake better. He did not want to argue with Lily. She was older and smarter. He put the chocolate chips back on the counter.
+
+Lily broke the eggs in a small bowl. She used a fork. She was careful. She did not want to get egg on her fingers. She poured the eggs into the big bowl with the flour and the sugar. She mixed everything together. She saw some sprinkles on the counter. She wanted to add them to the cake.
+
+"Ben, can we put some sprinkles in the cake? They are colorful and pretty." Lily said.
+
+"Yes, Lily, we can. Sprinkles are fun. They make the cake happy." Ben said.
+
+Lily smiled. She liked sprinkles. She thought they would make the cake special. She took a handful of sprinkles and threw them into the big bowl. She mixed them with the batter. She got some sprinkles on her fingers. She licked them. They were sweet.
+
+Lily and Ben poured the batter into a cake pan. They put the cake pan in the oven. They set the timer. They waited for the cake to bake. They hoped mom would like it. They were proud of their cake. They hugged each other. They were happy.
+Lily likes to play with mommy's makeup. She thinks it is fun to put on lipstick, eyeshadow and blush. She wants to look pretty like mommy.
+
+One day, mommy is at work and daddy is busy. Lily sees mommy's makeup bag on the table. She takes it to her room and opens it. She tries to use the makeup, but she does not know how. She makes a big mess on her face, her clothes and her bed.
+
+Daddy hears Lily giggling and goes to see what she is doing. He sees Lily and the messy makeup. He is not happy. He says, "Lily, what did you do? You made a big mess with mommy's makeup. That is not a toy. You have to clean it up and say sorry to mommy."
+
+Lily feels bad. She did not mean to make daddy angry. She says, "I'm sorry, daddy. I wanted to look pretty like mommy. I did not know how to use the makeup. Can you help me clean it up?"
+
+Daddy sighs and smiles. He says, "It's okay, Lily. I know you were curious. But you have to ask before you use mommy's things. And you don't need makeup to look pretty. You are pretty just the way you are. Come on, let's clean up and then we can read a story."
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and books. They have a lot of toys and books in their room. But sometimes they make a big mess. Their mom and dad are not happy when they see the mess.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily decide to be organized. They put their toys and books in boxes and shelves. They make labels with pictures and words. They want to show their mom and dad how good they are.
+
+They finish their work and call their mom and dad. Mom and dad come to their room and see the boxes and shelves. They are very surprised and proud. They speak to Tom and Lily.
+

+
+Tom and Lily are very happy. They hug their mom and dad and say thank you. They put on their shoes and coats and go to the park. They see other kids and animals. They play and have fun. They share their ice cream and say welcome to their new friends. They have a wonderful day.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, Tom has a haircut. His hair is very short and neat.
+
+"Hi, Tom!" Lily says. "You look different. Did you have a haircut?"
+
+"Yes, I did," Tom says. "Do you like it?"
+
+Lily nods. "I like it. It makes you look smart. But is it not hard to have a haircut? Does it not hurt?"
+
+Tom shakes his head. "No, it does not hurt. It is easy. The lady with the scissors is very nice. She gives me a sticker and a lollipop after she cuts my hair."
+
+Lily smiles. "That sounds fun. Maybe I will have a haircut too. But I like my hair long. It is soft and pretty."
+
+Tom and Lily run to the swings. They swing high and low. They notice a bird in the tree. They notice a dog in the grass. They notice a cloud in the sky. They have a lot of fun. They are happy.
+Lily liked to study old things. She had many books with pictures of ancient animals, buildings and people. She wanted to learn more about them. She asked her mom to take her to the museum.
+
+"Can we go to the museum today, mom?" Lily said.
+
+"Maybe, Lily. But first you have to do your test," mom said.
+
+Lily frowned. She did not like tests. They were hard and boring. She had to write and spell and count. She wanted to see the old things, not the test.
+
+"Please, mom. I studied a lot. I know all the answers," Lily said.
+
+"Okay, Lily. Let's see how you do. If you pass the test, we can go to the museum," mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She took the test. She tried her best. She wrote and spelled and counted. She finished the test and gave it to mom.
+
+Mom looked at the test. She smiled.
+
+"Good job, Lily. You passed the test. You are very smart," mom said.
+
+"Yay! Thank you, mom. Can we go to the museum now?" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, Lily. Let's go to the museum. You can see the ancient things you like," mom said.
+
+Lily was happy. She hugged mom. She put on her coat and hat. She took her favorite book with her. She and mom went to the museum. They saw the ancient animals, buildings and people. Lily learned more about them. She had fun. She was glad she studied and passed the test.
+Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks, but Anna likes pink the most. She always takes the pink blocks for her towers.
+
+One day, Ben wants to build a big tower with all the blocks. He says to Anna, "Let me have the pink blocks. I need them for my tower."
+
+Anna says, "No, Ben. The pink blocks are mine. You can have the other colors."
+
+Ben gets angry. He says, "You are selfish, Anna. You always want the pink blocks. You can't build anything good with them. They are weak and small."
+
+Anna feels sad. She says, "No, Ben. The pink blocks are not weak and small. They are pretty and strong. I can build anything good with them."
+
+Ben does not listen. He grabs the pink blocks from Anna and puts them on his tower. He says, "See, Anna. My tower is bigger and better than yours. The pink blocks are mine now."
+
+Anna cries. She says, "Ben, you are mean. You took my pink blocks. You broke my tower. Give them back to me."
+
+Ben says, "No, Anna. I will not give them back. They are mine now. Go away."
+
+Anna runs to her mom. She tells her what Ben did. Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. Ben was not nice to you. He should not have taken your pink blocks. He should have shared with you."
+
+Anna says, "Mom, can you get my pink blocks back? I want to build with them again."
+
+Her mom says, "I will try, Anna. But I don't know if Ben will listen. He is very stubborn. He might not give them back."
+
+Anna feels hopeless. She thinks she will never see her pink blocks again. She thinks Ben will break them or lose them. She thinks she will never build anything good with them again. She thinks she has no friends to play with. She thinks she is weak and small. She thinks she hates Ben. She thinks she hates pink. She thinks she hates blocks. She thinks she hates everything. The end.
+Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play with boats in the pond. They have a big boat and a small boat. They take turns to sail the boats.
+
+One day, Tom wants to sail the big boat. He says to Ben, "I want the big boat. It is faster and stronger. You can have the small boat."
+
+Ben is sad. He says, "But I like the big boat too. Can we share it? Can we sail it together?"
+
+Tom says, "No, we cannot share it. It is mine. Go away."
+
+Ben is angry. He says, "Fine, then I will take the small boat. But I will not play with you. You are mean."
+
+Tom and Ben sail their boats in different parts of the pond. They do not talk to each other.
+
+The pond is wide. There are many rocks and sticks in the water. Tom does not see a big rock. He sails the big boat too fast. The big boat hits the rock. The big boat splits in two. The water fills the boat. The boat sinks.
+
+Tom is scared. He cries, "Help! Help! My boat is broken. I am wet. I am cold."
+
+Ben hears Tom. He looks at the pond. He sees the big boat is gone. He sees Tom is in the water. He feels sorry for Tom. He says, "Don't worry, Tom. I will help you. I will sail the small boat to you. Hold on."
+
+Ben sails the small boat to Tom. He tries to pull Tom out of the water. But the small boat is too small. It cannot hold both of them. The small boat tips over. The small boat sinks too.
+
+Tom and Ben are both in the water. They are both wet and cold. They are both scared. They have no boats. They have no friends. They cry, "Help! Help! We are sorry. We are sorry."
+Ben is a big boy who likes to help his mom. His mom works on her computer and has many files. Files are things that have words and pictures in them. Sometimes, mom needs to find a file to do her work.
+
+One day, mom is looking for a file that has a picture of a cat. She asks Ben, "Can you help me find the file with the cat, please?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, mom, I can help you." He looks at the computer screen and sees many files. He sees a file that has a picture of a dog, a file that has a picture of a car, and a file that has a picture of a flower. He does not see a file that has a picture of a cat.
+
+He says, "Mom, I do not see the file with the cat. Where is it?"
+
+Mom says, "Maybe it is in another place. Can you close the files that we do not need?"
+
+Ben says, "OK, mom, I can close the files." He clicks on the files that have the dog, the car, and the flower. He sees a red X on each file. He clicks on the red X and the files go away.
+
+He says, "Mom, I closed the files that we do not need. Now I see a file that has a picture of a cat. Is this the file that you need?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, Ben, this is the file that I need. Thank you for helping me. You are very useful and smart."
+
+Ben says, "You are welcome, mom. I am happy to help you. I like files. They are fun and interesting."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big puddle. They want to jump in it.
+
+"Can we jump in the puddle?" Tom asks Mia.
+
+"Yes, let's jump in the puddle!" Mia says.
+
+They run to the puddle and jump in it. They splash and laugh. They get very wet. They soak their shoes and socks. They do not care. They have fun.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is their teacher. She is looking for them.
+
+"Tom, Mia, where are you?" she calls.
+
+They stop jumping. They look at each other. They are scared. They know they have to go back to the classroom. They have a quiz. They have to answer questions. They do not like quizzes.
+
+"What do we do?" Tom whispers.
+
+"We have to go back. We have to be honest. We have to say sorry." Mia whispers.
+
+They walk to their teacher. They are dripping. They are muddy. They are sad.
+
+"Tom, Mia, what happened to you?" their teacher asks.
+
+They look at their teacher. They look at the ground. They tell the truth.
+
+"We jumped in the puddle. We soaked our shoes and socks. We forgot about the quiz. We are sorry." they say.
+
+Their teacher looks at them. She is not angry. She is not happy. She is calm.
+
+"Tom, Mia, I am glad you are honest. But you have to follow the rules. You have to stay with the group. You have to do the quiz. You have to learn. Do you understand?" she says.
+
+They nod. They understand. They say sorry again.
+
+Their teacher takes them to the classroom. She gives them a towel. She helps them dry. She gives them a quiz. She helps them learn. She is kind. She is fair. She is their teacher.
+One day, Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in their room. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, and blocks. They liked to share and give each other different toys to play with.
+
+Suddenly, they felt the floor shake and heard a loud noise. They were scared and did not know what was happening. It was an earthquake! The toys fell off the shelves and the pictures fell off the walls. Tom and Lily ran to their mom and dad, who were in the kitchen.
+
+Mom and dad hugged them and told them not to worry. They said the earthquake was over and they were safe. They gave them some water and cookies to calm them down. The cookies were bitter, but Tom and Lily did not mind. They were happy to be with their mom and dad.
+
+They went outside and saw that some houses and trees were broken. They felt sad for the people and animals who lived there. They wanted to help them. Mom and dad said they could give some of their toys and clothes to the people who lost theirs. Tom and Lily agreed and picked some of their favorite things to give away.
+
+They went to a big truck where some nice people were collecting donations. They gave them their toys and clothes and said thank you. The nice people smiled and said they were very kind and generous. Tom and Lily felt good and proud. They learned that giving was better than receiving.
+Sara was a modest girl who liked to read books and learn new things. She had a big book of spells that she found in the library. She wanted to try some of the spells, but she did not know how to say them.
+
+She asked her friend Tom, who was good at words, to help her. Tom came to her house and looked at the book. He saw many strange letters and symbols.
+
+"What are these?" he asked.
+
+"They are spells," Sara said. "They can do magic things, like make flowers grow or turn water into juice. But I don't know how to say them."
+
+Tom tried to read some of the spells, but he could not. He did not know what the letters and symbols meant.
+
+"Maybe we can ask someone who knows," he said.
+
+"Who can we ask?" Sara asked.
+
+"Maybe your mom or dad," Tom said.
+
+Sara nodded. She took the book and went to find her mom. She found her in the kitchen, making cookies.
+
+"Mom, can you help me with something?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, what is it?" her mom said.
+
+Sara showed her the book of spells. Her mom looked at it and smiled.
+
+"Where did you get this?" she asked.
+
+"From the library," Sara said. "It is a book of spells. But I don't know how to say them. Can you explain them to me?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "This is a very special book, Sara. It is not a real book of spells, but a book of stories. The letters and symbols are not real words, but made-up ones. They are part of the fun and the imagination of the stories. They are not meant to be said, but to be looked at and wondered about."
+
+Sara felt confused. She thought the book was real and could do magic.
+
+"But I wanted to try the spells," she said.
+
+Her mom said, "You can still try them, Sara, but in a different way. You can use your own words and your own magic. You can make up your own spells and stories, and share them with Tom and me. That is the best kind of magic, the magic of creativity and friendship."
+
+Sara smiled. She liked that idea. She thanked her mom and ran back to Tom. She told him what her mom said, and they decided to make up their own spells and stories. They had a lot of fun and learned many new words. They were happy and modest children who loved books and magic.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with toy guns. They would pretend to be cowboys and shoot at each other. One day, they found a real gun in Tim's dad's closet. They did not know it was real. They thought it was a toy.
+
+They took the gun outside and played with it. Tim said, "I am the best shooter. I can shoot anyone." Sam said, "No, I am the best shooter. I can shoot you." They argued and pointed the gun at each other. They did not know it was dangerous.
+
+A person saw them and ran to them. He was a police officer. He said, "Stop! That is a real gun. It can hurt you or someone else. Give it to me." He took the gun from them and checked it. He said, "You are lucky. The gun was not loaded. But you should never touch a real gun. It is not a toy. It is not a game. It is not fun. It is scary and bad."
+
+Tim and Sam felt sorry and scared. They said, "We are sorry. We did not know. We will never touch a real gun again." The police officer said, "I am glad you are sorry. But you should also be modest. You should not brag about being the best shooter. You should not fight with your friend. You should be kind and share. That is what good friends do."
+
+Tim and Sam learned their lesson. They hugged and said, "We are sorry. We are friends. We are modest." They thanked the police officer and went home. They played with their toy guns again. But they did not pretend to shoot at each other. They pretended to shoot at cans and bottles. They had fun and were safe.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. They admired the big kids who could swing high and run fast. They wanted to be like them.
+
+One day, they saw a new sign in the park. It said: "No climbing on the fence. It is dangerous. It is the law." Tim and Sam did not know what the sign meant. They thought it was a challenge. They wanted to show how strong they were.
+
+They ran to the fence and started to climb. They felt brave and proud. They did not see the dog on the other side of the fence. The dog was big and angry. It barked and growled. It did not like strangers.
+
+"Look, Sam, I am higher than you!" Tim said. He reached the top of the fence. He smiled and waved.
+
+"Tim, be careful!" Sam said. He saw the dog. He was scared. He wanted to get down.
+
+But it was too late. The dog jumped and bit Tim's leg. Tim screamed and fell. He hurt his leg and his head. He cried and cried.
+
+Sam ran to help him. He called for help. He was sorry. He wished they had listened to the sign. He learned that the law was there to keep them safe. He hoped Tim would be okay.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck arrive at the park. The truck had many toys and books inside. A man got out of the truck and said, "Hello, kids! I am here to give you some gifts. You can choose one toy and one book each. But you have to be quick, because I have to go to other parks too."
+
+Tom and Lily were very happy and ran to the truck. They looked at all the toys and books and tried to pick the best ones. Tom saw a big robot that could make noises and lights. He grabbed it and said, "This is mine!" Lily saw a pretty doll that had a dress and a hat. She grabbed it and said, "This is mine!"
+
+But then they saw a thin boy who was sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. He had no toys and no books. He just had a ball that was old and dirty. Tom and Lily felt sorry for him. They decided to share their gifts with him. They walked to the bench and said, "Hi, we are Tom and Lily. Do you want to play with us? You can have this robot and this doll. We can also read this book and this book together."
+
+The thin boy was surprised and happy. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are very kind and generous. I have no friends here. My name is Sam. Can I be your friend?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Of course, Sam. You can be our friend. We can play together every day."
+
+The man who drove the truck saw what Tom and Lily did. He was very impressed and proud. He said, "You are very good kids, Tom and Lily. You have learned to share and care for others. That is more important than having many toys and books. You have made a new friend today. I have a special gift for you. You can keep the robot and the doll, and you can also have this guard. He is a stuffed animal that can protect you and your friend. He is very soft and cuddly. I hope you like him."
+
+Tom and Lily thanked the man and hugged the guard. They were very happy and grateful. They played with Sam and the guard until it was time to go home. They learned that giving is better than taking, and that friendship is better than loneliness. They lived happily ever after.
+Anna liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a big leopard. The leopard was soft and had spots. Anna liked to hug the leopard and pretend it was her friend.
+
+One day, Anna's mom said they were going to the zoo. Anna was happy. She wanted to see the animals. She put on her coat and shoes and grabbed her leopard. She wanted to take it with her.
+
+At the zoo, Anna saw many animals. She saw lions, monkeys, elephants, and more. She liked them all, but she was looking for something. She wanted to see a real leopard. She asked her mom, "Where is the leopard?"
+
+Her mom pointed to a big cage. "There it is," she said. Anna ran to the cage. She saw a big, beautiful leopard. It looked like her toy, but it was alive. It had yellow eyes and sharp teeth. It was lying on a rock and licking its paw.
+
+Anna was amazed. She wanted to get closer. She put her toy leopard on the fence and climbed up. She reached out her hand to touch the real leopard. But the real leopard saw her toy. It thought it was a snack. It jumped off the rock and ran to the fence. It grabbed the toy leopard with its mouth and pulled it into the cage.
+
+Anna was shocked. She screamed. Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. The leopard took your toy. You should not have put it there. You should have chosen a regular toy, not a leopard."
+
+Anna cried. She missed her toy. She learned a lesson. She learned that leopards are not friends. They are wild animals. She learned to be careful with her toys. She learned to choose wisely.
+Sara liked to play with her mom's jewelry. She thought they were shiny and pretty. She liked to put them on her neck, ears and fingers. She felt like a princess.
+
+One day, she saw a new necklace in her mom's drawer. It was red and gold and had many beads. Sara wanted to try it on. She took it out and put it around her neck. She looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled. She was very attractive.
+
+But then she heard her mom's voice. "Sara, what are you doing in my room?" Her mom came in and saw Sara with the necklace. She was angry. "Sara, that is not your necklace. That is a special gift from your grandma. You should not touch it. You could break it or lose it. Give it back to me right now."
+
+Sara did not want to give it back. She liked the necklace. She thought it was hers. She started to complain. "No, mom, no. I want the necklace. It is mine. It is pretty. I like it. Please, mom, please."
+
+Her mom shook her head. "No, Sara, no. You cannot have the necklace. It is not yours. It is mine. You have to respect other people's things. You have many toys and books and clothes. You do not need the necklace. Now, stop complaining and give it back to me. Or you will have a time out."
+
+Sara did not like time outs. She knew her mom was serious. She pouted and took off the necklace. She gave it back to her mom. She was sad and angry. She did not say sorry. She did not say thank you. She ran out of the room. She did not want to play with jewelry anymore. She wanted to play with something else.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to write. They wrote with crayons on paper, on the wall, and on the sand. One day, they went to the beach with their parents. They saw the big blue water and the fish that swam in it.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a reef!" Tom said, pointing to the rocks and corals under the water. "It is so pretty and colorful. Can we write on it?"
+
+Lily nodded. She took a crayon from her pocket and followed Tom into the water. They swam to the reef and started to write their names on it. They also drew some fish and stars and hearts.
+
+But they did not see the big crab that lived in the reef. The crab did not like the children who wrote on his home. He was angry and pinched Tom's toe with his claw.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried, dropping his crayon. "Lily, help me, the crab bit me!"
+
+Lily swam to Tom and saw the crab. She was scared, but she had an idea. She took her fancy hat that had a flower on it and threw it at the crab. The crab was confused and let go of Tom's toe. He grabbed the hat instead and put it on his head.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha!" Lily laughed. "Look, Tom, the crab is wearing a fancy hat! He looks silly!"
+
+Tom laughed too. He forgot about his pain and swam back to the shore with Lily. They left the reef and the crab alone. They learned not to write on things that did not belong to them. They also learned that fancy hats can be useful.
+Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play a lot. They did not like to sit and listen to lectures from their mom and dad. They thought lectures were boring and long. They wanted to have fun and be wild.
+
+One day, their mom and dad had to go to work. They told Tom and Sue to sit and watch a video lecture about animals. They said it was important and good for them. They said they would be back soon and they should not make any trouble.
+
+But Tom and Sue did not listen. They turned off the video and ran outside. They saw a big park with swings and slides and trees. They thought it was a great place to be wild. They climbed and jumped and shouted and laughed.
+
+They did not see the sign that said "Beware of the dog". They did not hear the bark and the growl. They did not feel the teeth and the claws. They only felt pain and fear.
+
+The dog was big and mean and hungry. It did not like wild children. It liked to chase and bite and hurt. It did not stop until Tom and Sue were still and quiet.
+
+Their mom and dad came back and saw the blood and the tears. They screamed and cried and hugged each other. They wished they had made Tom and Sue sit and watch the lecture. They wished they had not been so wild.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the big room with the piano. The piano makes nice sounds when they press the keys. But sometimes they get bored of the piano and look for other things to play with.
+
+One day, they find a ball in the corner of the room. It is red and shiny and bounces high. Sara and Ben think it is fun to throw the ball to each other and catch it. They laugh and run around the room.
+
+But then, Sara throws the ball too hard and it hits the piano. The piano makes a loud and ugly sound. Sara and Ben stop and look at the piano. They see a big crack on the wood and some keys are broken. They feel scared and sorry.
+
+They hear footsteps outside the room. It is Mommy. She comes in and sees the piano and the ball. She looks angry and sad. She says, "What have you done? You broke the piano! That was Grandma's piano! She loved it very much and gave it to me. How could you be so careless and naughty?"
+
+Sara and Ben start to cry. They say, "We are sorry, Mommy. We did not mean to break the piano. We just wanted to play with the ball. Please don't be mad at us."
+
+But Mommy does not listen. She says, "You are very bad children. You have to go to your room and stay there. No more playing, no more toys, no more snacks. You have to think about what you did and how you hurt me and Grandma."
+
+She takes the ball and throws it in the trash. She grabs Sara and Ben by the hand and drags them to their room. She locks the door and leaves them alone. Sara and Ben hug each other and sob. They wish they never played with the ball. They wish they never broke the piano. They wish Mommy would forgive them. But they do not know if she ever will.
+Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play hide and seek in their big house. One day, they decided to play in the basement, where there were many boxes and things to hide behind.
+
+Tom was the seeker. He counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looked around the basement, but he could not find Lily. He heard a giggle from somewhere. He followed the sound and saw a small door under the stair. He was curious. He opened the door and saw a dark tunnel.
+
+"Lily, are you in there?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, I am!" Lily answered. "Come and find me!"
+
+Tom was a little scared, but he wanted to win the game. He crawled into the tunnel and saw a faint light at the end. He moved closer and closer, until he reached the light. He was surprised by what he saw.
+
+It was a secret room, full of toys and books and candy. Lily was sitting on a big couch, smiling. She had found the room by accident, when she was hiding. She had pushed a button on the wall and the door had opened.
+
+"Wow, Lily, this is amazing!" Tom said. "How did you find this?"
+
+"I don't know, I just did!" Lily said. "Do you want to play here with me?"
+
+"Yes, I do!" Tom said. "But we have to be quiet, or Mom and Dad will hear us."
+
+They agreed to keep the room a secret, and they played there for a long time. They had so much fun, they forgot about the time. They did not hear Mom calling them for dinner. They did not hear Dad coming down the stair. They did not hear the door opening behind them. They only heard a voice saying, "What are you two doing here?"
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make piles of dirt and rocks. They pretended they were builders and made houses and roads and bridges.
+
+"Look at my house!" Ben said. "It has a big door and a window and a roof. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily nodded. "It is very nice. I like your house. Look at my bridge! It is long and strong and goes over the pond. Do you like it?"
+
+Ben nodded. "It is very nice. I like your bridge. We are good builders."
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was Rex, the big dog. He ran into the garden and saw the piles of dirt and rocks. He thought they were toys. He barked and wagged his tail. He jumped on the piles and knocked them down. He destroyed the house and the bridge.
+
+"Hey!" Ben shouted. "Stop it, Rex! You are ruining our work!"
+
+"Go away!" Lily cried. "You are a bad dog!"
+
+Rex did not understand. He thought they were playing. He licked their faces and tried to play with them.
+
+Ben and Lily were very sad and angry. They did not want to play with Rex. They wanted to fix their work. But it was too late. The dirt and rocks were scattered everywhere.
+
+"Mom!" Ben called. "Mom, come and see what Rex did!"
+
+Mom came and saw the mess. She was not happy. She scolded Rex and put him on a leash. She said sorry to Ben and Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. Rex did not mean to destroy your work. He was just excited. He is a mild dog. He does not bite or hurt anyone. He just likes to play."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at Rex. He looked sorry too. He wagged his tail and whined.
+
+"Maybe he is a mild dog," Ben said. "But he is not a good builder."
+
+"Maybe we can teach him to be a good builder," Lily said. "Or maybe we can play something else with him."
+
+"Maybe," Ben said. "But first we need to clean up this mess."
+
+They nodded and started to pick up the dirt and rocks. Mom helped them. Rex watched and waited. He hoped they would play with him again. He liked Ben and Lily. He did not want to destroy their work. He wanted to be their friend.
+Tim and Tom were twins who liked to play with toys. One day, they saw a big clock in the shop window. It had many colors and numbers and made a loud sound. They wanted to buy the clock, but they did not have enough money.
+
+They asked their mom if they could buy the clock, but she said no. She said they had many toys at home and they did not need the clock. She said the clock was for grown-ups who had to work and do things on time. She said they should be happy with what they had and share with each other.
+
+But Tim and Tom did not listen to their mom. They decided to sneak out of the house and go to the shop. They took some money from their mom's purse and ran to the shop. They bought the clock and brought it home. They were very excited and put the clock in their room.
+
+But soon they realized that the clock was not fun. It was very loud and annoying. It made them wake up early and go to bed late. It made them hurry and worry. It made them fight and cry. They did not play with their other toys or with each other. They were troubled by the clock.
+
+One night, their mom came to their room and saw the clock. She was very angry and sad. She asked them where they got the money and the clock. They told her the truth and said they were sorry. She said they had done a bad thing and they had to return the clock and the money. She said they had to learn to be honest and grateful. She said they had to love and respect each other.
+
+They agreed and did what their mom said. They returned the clock and the money and apologized to the shopkeeper. They also apologized to their mom and hugged her. They felt better and happier. They played with their other toys and with each other. They did not need the clock. They learned their lesson.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pink dress, blue eyes and long hair. Lily took Anna everywhere with her.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to play with Anna on her bed. She climbed on the bed and put Anna next to her pillow. She pretended that Anna was a princess and she was her friend. They talked and laughed and sang songs.
+
+But then, Lily heard her mom calling her. It was time for lunch. Lily jumped off the bed and ran to the door. She forgot to take Anna with her. She left Anna on the bed.
+
+Anna felt lonely and scared. She wanted to be with Lily. She looked around and saw a big window. She thought maybe she could see Lily from there. She crawled to the edge of the bed and peeked out of the window.
+
+But the window was too high and the bed was too soft. Anna slipped and fell. She dropped from the bed to the floor. She landed on a hard toy. She felt a sharp pain in her arm. She looked and saw that her arm was broken. She cried and cried.
+
+Lily came back after lunch. She wanted to play with Anna again. She looked for her on the bed, but she could not find her. She looked under the bed, but she could not find her. She looked around the room, but she could not find her.
+
+Then she heard a soft whimper. She followed the sound and saw Anna on the floor. She saw her broken arm and her tears. She felt very sorry and sad. She picked up Anna and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I forgot you. You are my delicate doll. I love you. I will fix you."
+
+She took Anna to her mom and asked her to help. Her mom got some glue and a bandage and fixed Anna's arm. She said, "Be careful, Lily. Anna is delicate. She can break easily. You have to be gentle with her."
+
+Lily nodded and thanked her mom. She took Anna back to her bed and cuddled with her. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I will never forget you again. You are my best friend. I love you." Anna smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily." They fell asleep together.
+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play with boats. They made boats from paper and sticks and leaves. They took their boats to the pond and let them sail on the water. They watched their boats go fast and slow, turn and spin, and sometimes bump into each other.
+
+One day, Lila made a new boat that was very big and pretty. It had a white sail and a red flag and a blue hull. She was very proud of her boat and wanted to show it to Tom. She ran to the pond with her boat and called Tom to come and see.
+
+Tom came and saw Lila's boat. He liked it too, but he was a little jealous. He wanted to have a big and pretty boat like Lila. He asked Lila if he could play with her boat for a while. Lila said no, because she was afraid Tom might break it or lose it. She said it was her boat and she wanted to sail it by herself.
+
+Tom was angry and sad. He thought Lila was mean and selfish. He waited until Lila was not looking and grabbed her boat. He ran away with it and threw it into the water. He hoped it would sink or get stuck in the mud.
+
+But Lila's boat was very strong and graceful. It did not sink or get stuck. It sailed away from Tom and towards the other side of the pond. Lila saw what Tom did and ran after her boat. She shouted at Tom and told him he was a bad friend. She tried to catch her boat, but it was too far and too fast.
+
+Lila's boat sailed out of the pond and into the river. The river was big and wild and full of rocks and fish and crocodiles. Lila's boat could not sail in the river. It hit a rock and broke into pieces. The sail tore, the flag fell, and the hull cracked. The crocodiles came and ate the pieces of Lila's boat. They also ate Lila's tooth that she had lost the day before and put in her boat for good luck.
+
+Lila cried and cried. She had lost her boat and her tooth and her friend. She wished she had shared her boat with Tom and played nicely with him. She wished Tom had not been jealous and mean and stolen her boat. She wished they had both been happy and had fun with their boats. But it was too late. The end.
+Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls and books. She did not like to talk to other kids or go to the park. She was scared of the big slide and the loud swings. She only felt happy at home with her mom and dad.
+
+One day, her mom said they were going to the pool. Lily did not want to go. She did not like to wear her swimsuit or get wet. She did not know how to swim or float. She cried and hid under her bed. Her mom said, "Don't be afraid, Lily. The pool is fun. You can splash and play with me. I will hold your hand and keep you safe."
+
+Lily was still scared, but she trusted her mom. She put on her swimsuit and got in the car. They drove to the pool and saw many kids and grown-ups. Lily held her mom's hand very tight. She did not want to let go. Her mom said, "Look, Lily. There is a small pool for little kids. It is not deep or cold. You can sit on the edge and splash with your feet. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily nodded a little. She followed her mom to the small pool. She saw some toys and balls floating on the water. She saw some kids laughing and splashing. She felt a little curious. She sat on the edge and put her feet in the water. It was warm and soft. She kicked her feet and made some bubbles. She smiled a little.
+
+Her mom said, "Good job, Lily. You are doing great. Do you want to hold this handle and slide into the water? I will be right here with you." She showed Lily a handle on a small slide. Lily looked at the slide and the handle. She felt a little brave. She said, "Okay, mom. I will try." She held the handle and slid into the water. Her mom caught her and hugged her. Lily felt the water on her face and hair. She giggled and splashed. She said, "Mom, this is fun. I like the pool. Can we do it again?" Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. I am so proud of you. You are not shy anymore. You are a big girl." They hugged and splashed and played. Lily was happy. She liked the pool.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with many ducks and fish. They wanted to feed them some bread, but they had none.
+
+"Look, there is a man with a bag of bread!" Lily said. "Let's ask him if we can have some."
+
+They ran to the man, who was sitting on a bench. He had a kind face and a hat.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Do you like the pond?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, we do. Can we have some bread, please?" Tom said.
+
+"Sure, you can. But first, let me tell you something. This bread is very unusual. It has a lot of value. Do you know what value means?" the man said.
+
+Lily and Tom shook their heads. They did not know what value meant.
+
+"It means that something is very important or special. This bread is special because it can make the ducks and fish talk. If you feed them this bread, they will tell you their secrets and stories. But you have to be very quiet and listen carefully. Do you want to try?" the man said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They were very curious and excited. They took some bread from the man and thanked him. Then they went to the edge of the pond and threw some bread into the water.
+
+Soon, they heard some splashes and voices.
+
+"Thank you for the bread, children. It is very yummy and unusual. Let me tell you about my life in the pond. I am a duck, and my name is Daisy. I have a husband and three babies. We like to swim and quack and look for worms. Sometimes we have to hide from the big fish, who are mean and hungry. They want to eat us. But we are smart and fast, and we have friends who help us. Do you have friends, children?" Daisy said.
+
+Lily and Tom were amazed. They had never heard a duck talk before. They answered Daisy's questions and asked her some of their own. They learned a lot about the pond and the ducks. They also fed some bread to the fish, who also talked to them. They told them about their scales and fins and how they breathe underwater. They also told them about the plants and rocks and other things they see in the pond.
+
+Lily and Tom had a lot of fun and made some new friends. They thanked the man for the unusual bread and the value it had. They said goodbye to the ducks and fish and promised to come back soon. They ran back to their mom, who was waiting for them. They told her everything they had seen and heard. She smiled and hugged them. She was happy that they had a wonderful adventure.
+Tim and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big boat in the garage. It was heavy and had wheels and a motor. They wanted to ride the boat, but they did not know how.
+
+They pushed the boat out of the garage and down the street. They saw a big hill and thought it would be fun to go down. They climbed on the boat and turned on the motor. The boat started to move fast and loud.
+
+"Roar!" said the boat. "Wee!" said Tim and Mia.
+
+But they did not see the stop sign at the end of the hill. They did not see the car that was coming. They did not see the big crash that was about to happen.
+
+"Stop!" shouted a voice. It was their dad. He had followed them and saw the danger. He ran to the boat and pulled the brake. The boat stopped just in time. The car honked and drove away.
+
+"Tim! Mia! Are you okay?" asked their dad. He was angry and scared.
+
+"Yes, dad. We are okay," said Tim and Mia. They were sorry and scared.
+
+"What were you thinking? You could have been hurt! You could have hurt someone else! You do not play with the boat! It is not a toy! It is for grown-ups only!" said their dad.
+
+"We are sorry, dad. We did not know. We just wanted to have fun," said Tim and Mia.
+
+"Fun is not worth risking your life or others. You have to be careful and listen to the rules. You have to respect the things that are not yours. You have to learn from your mistakes," said their dad.
+
+He hugged them and took them back to the garage. He put the boat away and locked the door. He gave them some cookies and milk and told them a story about a lion who roared too loud and scared away his friends.
+
+Tim and Mia listened and understood. They thanked their dad and said they loved him. They promised to never play with the boat again. They learned that some things are not for kids and that they should always be safe and smart.
+Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. But they did not like winter. Winter was cold and wet and made their noses run. They wanted to see the sun and the flowers again.
+
+One day, their mom said, "I have a surprise for you. We are going to visit your grandma in the mountains. She has a lot of snow there. You can make snowmen and snow angels and have fun."
+
+Sara and Tom were not sure. They had never seen snow before. They thought it was like winter, but worse. They packed their bags and got in the car. They hoped they would not be too cold.
+
+When they arrived at grandma's house, they saw a lot of white on the ground. It was snow. It looked soft and fluffy. Grandma gave them warm coats and hats and gloves and boots. She said, "Come on, let's go outside and play. I will show you how to make a snowman."
+
+Sara and Tom followed grandma outside. They felt the snow on their hands. It was cold, but not terrible. It was fun. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They added a carrot for the nose, a scarf for the neck, and buttons for the eyes. They made a snowman. They were proud.
+
+"Look, mom, look!" they shouted. "We made a snowman!"
+
+Mom came outside and smiled. She said, "Wow, you did a great job. He looks very happy. Do you like the snow now?"
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They said, "Yes, we do. Snow is not like winter. Snow is fun. Thank you, grandma, for the surprise."
+
+Grandma hugged them and said, "You're welcome, my dears. I'm glad you like it. Now, let's go inside and have some hot chocolate. It will warm you up."
+
+Sara and Tom agreed. They said goodbye to their snowman and followed grandma inside. They felt warm and cozy. They decided that snow was not terrible. Snow was wonderful.
+Sara loves to play with her wool dolls. She has a big box of them in her room. She likes to dress them up, comb their hair, and make them talk. Sometimes, she takes them outside to have a picnic or a tea party.
+
+One day, it is very hot and sunny. Sara decides to take her wool dolls to the pool. She is eager to swim and splash with them. She puts on her swimsuit, grabs her towel, and fills a bag with her dolls. She runs to the pool with a big smile.
+
+"Look, Mommy, I brought my wool dolls!" she says, showing her bag to her mother, who is sitting on a chair with a book.
+
+"That's nice, Sara, but be careful not to soak them too much. Wool can get heavy and hard to dry when it's wet," her mother warns her.
+
+"Okay, Mommy, I will be careful," Sara says, nodding. She puts her bag on a bench and takes out one of her dolls. She holds it in her arms and jumps into the pool. She laughs as the water splashes on her face and her doll.
+
+She swims around with her doll, pretending it is a mermaid. She makes it say, "Hello, I'm Lily, the wool mermaid. I live in the pool with my friends. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "Yes, I do, Lily. You are very pretty and soft. I like your wool tail and hair. Can I see your friends?"
+
+Lily nods and says, "Of course, come with me. They are in the bag on the bench. They are all wool dolls like me. They love to swim and soak in the sun."
+
+Sara swims back to the bench and takes out another doll. She holds it in her other arm and jumps into the pool again. She introduces it to Lily and says, "This is Rose, the wool princess. She wears a pink dress and a crown. She is very kind and smart. She likes to read and sing."
+
+Lily smiles and says, "Hello, Rose, the wool princess. You are very beautiful and elegant. I like your pink dress and crown. You have a lovely voice. Do you want to sing with us?"
+
+Rose smiles and says, "Yes, I do, Lily. You are very friendly and fun. I like your wool tail and hair. You have a sweet voice. What song do you want to sing?"
+
+Lily thinks and says, "How about 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'? It's one of my favorite songs. Do you know it?"
+
+Rose nods and says, "Yes, I do, Lily. It's one of my favorite songs too. Do you know the words?"
+
+Lily nods and says, "Yes, I do, Rose. Let's sing it together. Ready?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "Yes, I'm ready. Let's sing it together. One, two, three..."
+
+Sara, Lily, and Rose start to sing 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' in the pool. They sound very happy and sweet. They soak in the water and the sun, enjoying their wool friendship. Sara's mother watches them with a smile, thinking how cute and creative her daughter is. She hopes her wool dolls will dry soon.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide. Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben. It is fun!" Lily says.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. It is very high. What if I fall?" Ben says.
+
+"You will not fall. You just sit and slide. I will go first. You can watch me." Lily says.
+
+Lily runs to the slide. She is careless. She does not look where she is going. She bumps into a boy. The boy is angry. He pushes Lily. Lily falls down. She cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" Lily says.
+
+Ben runs to Lily. He helps her up. He hugs her. He is kind.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily. Are you okay?" Ben says.
+
+"I am okay, Ben. Thank you. You are a good friend." Lily says.
+
+They look at the slide. They think it is not fun anymore. They decide to play something else. They are happy.
+Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big tree with green fruits. They are limes. Mia and Ben pick some limes and put them in a basket.
+
+"Let's make lime juice!" Mia says. "It is yummy and good for us."
+
+"OK!" Ben says. "But how do we make it?"
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She remembers what Mommy told her. "We need to cut the limes and squeeze them. Then we add water and sugar. And we stir and stir."
+
+They go to the kitchen and find a knife, a bowl, a spoon and a pitcher. They are careful with the knife. They cut the limes and squeeze them. They add water and sugar. They stir and stir.
+
+"Look, we made lime juice!" Ben says. He pours some in a cup and tastes it. He makes a sour face. "It is too sour!"
+
+Mia tastes it too. She makes a sour face. "It is too sour!"
+
+They look at each other and laugh. They add more sugar and stir and stir. They taste it again. It is better.
+
+They take the pitcher and the cups and go to the garden. They sit under the tree and drink their lime juice. They are happy and comfortable.
+
+They believe they are the best lime juice makers in the world.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a map in a big box. The map has many colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, Lila, a map!" Tom says. "Maybe it is a treasure map!"
+
+"Wow, Tom, let us see!" Lila says. They open the map and look at it. The map shows a path to a big tree. The tree has a red X on it.
+
+"Maybe the treasure is under the tree!" Tom says. "Let us go and find it!"
+
+They follow the map to the big tree. It is very tall and old. They dig under the tree with their hands. They find a small box. They open the box. Inside the box, there are some seeds.
+
+"Seeds? Is this the treasure?" Lila says. She is sad. She wanted to find something shiny and fun.
+
+"Maybe they are magic seeds!" Tom says. He is not sad. He likes to try new things. "Maybe they can grow into something amazing!"
+
+"Really? How do we make them grow?" Lila says.
+
+"We need to plant them and water them and give them sun!" Tom says. "Come on, let us find a good spot!"
+
+They find a small patch of dirt near the park. They plant the seeds and water them with their bottles. They give them a kiss and say, "Grow, grow, grow!"
+
+They come back the next day. They see that the seeds have grown into beautiful flowers. The flowers have many colors and shapes. They smell nice and make them happy.
+
+"Wow, Tom, you were right! They are magic seeds!" Lila says. "They grew into treasure!"
+
+"Yes, Lila, they did!" Tom says. "And they are our treasure! We can share them with our friends and family!"
+
+They pick some flowers and give them to their friends and family. They keep some for themselves. They make a necklace and a crown with them. They feel proud and strong.
+
+They are not weak. They are brave and smart. They can find treasure with a map. They can make magic with seeds. They can grow anything they want. They are happy.
+Lily and Max are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they see a big dog running towards them. The dog is barking loud and has sharp teeth.
+
+Lily and Max are scared. They drop their toys and run to the bench. They worry that the dog will bite them or take their toys. They hold each other and cry.
+
+"Go away, dog! Go away!" Lily shouts.
+
+"Help, help! Where is Mommy?" Max cries.
+
+The dog stops near their toys. He sniffs them and picks one up. He shakes it and makes it squeak. He thinks it is fun.
+
+Lily and Max are upset. They want their toys back. They do not like the dog.
+
+Then, they see Mommy coming. She sees the dog and the toys. She calls the dog's name.
+
+"Rex, Rex! Come here, boy! Drop the toy, good boy!"
+
+The dog listens to Mommy. He drops the toy and runs to her. He wags his tail and licks her face. He is happy.
+
+Mommy picks up the toy and gives it to Lily and Max. She hugs them and kisses them. She says sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily and Max. Rex is my friend's dog. He is not mean, he just likes to play. He did not mean to scare you or take your toys. Are you okay?"
+
+Lily and Max nod. They are not scared anymore. They see that the dog is nice. They smile and say thank you.
+
+Mommy says they can pet the dog if they want. Lily and Max are curious. They touch the dog's fur and ears. The dog wags his tail and licks their hands. He is friendly.
+
+Lily and Max are happy. They make a new friend. They play with the dog and their toys. They do not worry anymore. They have fun.
+Ben and Sam were best friends. They liked to play outside and find new things. One day, they saw a big house with a high fence. The house looked old and scary. They heard a loud bark from inside.
+
+"Let's go see the dog!" Ben said. He liked dogs very much.
+
+"No, we can't. Mom said not to go near that house. She said the man who lives there is mean and the dog is dangerous." Sam said. He was afraid of the house and the dog.
+
+"Come on, don't be a baby. I dare you to go with me. Maybe the dog is nice and we can pet him. Maybe the man will give us a treat." Ben said. He wanted to show Sam that he was brave.
+
+"Fine, I'll go with you. But only for a minute. And we have to be quiet and careful." Sam said. He did not want Ben to think he was a baby. He followed Ben to the fence.
+
+They climbed over the fence and walked to the house. They saw a big, black dog in the yard. The dog saw them too. He ran to them, barking and growling. He had sharp teeth and angry eyes. He was not a nice dog.
+
+"Run!" Sam shouted. He turned around and ran back to the fence. He was very scared.
+
+Ben tried to run too, but he was too slow. The dog caught him and bit his leg. Ben screamed and cried. He felt a lot of pain. He wished he had not dared Sam to go to the house.
+
+The man who lived in the house heard the noise and came outside. He saw the dog and Ben. He was not happy. He yelled at the dog and kicked him. He yelled at Ben and Sam too. He said they were bad and stupid. He said he would call their moms and tell them what they did. He said they would be in big trouble. He was not a nice man.
+
+Sam made it to the fence and climbed over. He looked back and saw Ben lying on the ground, bleeding and crying. He felt sorry for Ben, but he was also angry. He wished Ben had not dared him to go to the house. He ran away, leaving Ben behind.
+
+Ben and Sam were not best friends anymore. They learned a hard lesson. They should have listened to their moms and stayed away from the house. They should have not dared each other to do something dangerous. They should have not hoped for a treat from a mean man and a bad dog. They found out that some things are not worth the risk. They found out that some things are unusual for a reason.
+Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the yard with their dog Spot. Spot was a loyal dog. He always followed them and barked at strangers.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily saw a new fence in the yard next door. It was tall and shiny. They wondered what was behind it.
+
+"Let's go see," Ben said.
+
+"No, we can't," Lily said. "That's not our yard. We have to stay here."
+
+"But I'm curious," Ben said. "Maybe there's something fun behind the fence."
+
+He ran to the fence and tried to climb it. Spot ran after him and barked.
+
+"Ben, come back!" Lily shouted. "You're being naughty!"
+
+Ben ignored her. He reached the top of the fence and looked over. He saw a big pool with water and toys. He smiled and jumped over the fence.
+
+"Wow, this is cool!" he said.
+
+He landed in the pool with a splash. He grabbed a toy boat and started to play.
+
+Lily ran to the fence and looked over. She saw Ben in the pool. She also saw a man coming out of the house next door. He looked angry.
+
+"Hey, kid, what are you doing in my pool?" he yelled.
+
+Ben was scared. He dropped the toy boat and tried to get out of the pool. But the water was deep and he couldn't swim.
+
+"Help, help!" he cried.
+
+Spot heard Ben's cry. He jumped over the fence and ran to the pool. He bit the man's leg and made him fall. Then he jumped into the pool and pulled Ben out.
+
+"Good boy, Spot!" Lily said. She hugged Spot and Ben.
+
+The man got up and rubbed his leg. He was not happy.
+
+"Get out of my yard, you little brats!" he said. "And take your dog with you!"
+
+Ben and Lily ran back to their yard with Spot. They were wet and scared.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone over the fence. It was not fun. It was dangerous."
+
+"It's okay, Ben," Lily said. "I'm glad you're safe. And I'm glad we have Spot. He's a loyal dog. He saved you."
+
+"Yes, he did," Ben said. "He's the best dog ever. We should value him."
+
+They hugged Spot and gave him a treat. They learned their lesson. They never went over the fence again. They stayed in their yard and played with their loyal dog.
+Lily and Tom love winter. They love to play in the snow and make snowmen and snowballs. They wear warm hats and coats and boots and gloves. They have fun with their friends and their dog Spot.
+
+One day, they see a big hill with lots of snow. They want to slide down the hill on their sleds. They run to the hill with their sleds and Spot. They take turns to go down the hill. They go very fast and laugh and shout. Spot barks and runs after them.
+
+But then, Lily sees something shiny in the snow. She stops her sled and gets off. She kneels down and digs in the snow. She finds a necklace with a blue stone. It is very pretty. She thinks it is a great gift for her mom.
+
+She shows the necklace to Tom and Spot. They think it is very pretty too. They wonder who left it in the snow. Maybe it fell from someone's pocket. Maybe it is magic. They decide to keep it a secret.
+
+They put the necklace in Lily's pocket and go back to their sleds. They slide down the hill again and again. They have a great time. They forget about the necklace until they go home. Then, Lily gives the necklace to her mom and tells her the story. Her mom is very happy and hugs her. She says it is a great gift and a great story. She says she loves Lily and Tom and Spot very much. They all smile and hug. They love winter.
+Lily and Ben like to help Mom in the kitchen. They wear aprons to keep their clothes clean. Mom lets them stir the soup and cut the bread. They are very careful with the knife and the hot pot.
+
+One day, they see a funny bug on the window. It has six legs and two wings. It is green and shiny. Lily and Ben want to catch it and play with it. They forget about the soup and the bread.
+
+"Look, Mom, a bug!" Lily says. She runs to the window and tries to grab the bug. Ben follows her. They leave the knife and the spoon on the table.
+
+Mom sees the knife and the spoon. She is worried. She says, "Lily, Ben, come back! The knife and the spoon can fall and hurt you. And the soup can boil over and make a mess."
+
+But Lily and Ben do not hear her. They are too busy with the bug. The bug flies away from their hands. It goes to the other window. Lily and Ben chase it.
+
+Mom sees the soup. It is bubbling and steaming. It is about to spill over the pot. She runs to the stove and turns off the heat. She saves the soup. She is glad she has an apron. It protects her from the hot soup.
+
+She calls Lily and Ben again. "Lily, Ben, please come here. The soup is ready. The bug is gone. It is time to eat."
+
+Lily and Ben hear her this time. They are hungry. They come back to the table. They see the soup. It smells good. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We wanted to see the bug. It was funny."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "It's okay. I know you like bugs. But you have to be careful in the kitchen. The knife and the spoon are not toys. And the soup can be hot and dangerous. Next time, listen to me when I call you."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We will listen to you. We love you. And we love the soup."
+
+They hug Mom and sit down. They eat the soup and the bread. They are happy. They thank Mom for saving the soup. And for wearing an apron.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many birds. The birds are playful. They sing and fly and hop on the branches.
+
+"Look, Lily, a blue bird!" Sam says. He points to a bird with bright feathers.
+
+"I see it, Sam. It is pretty!" Lily says. She claps her hands.
+
+The blue bird sees them too. It is curious. It flies down to say hello. It lands on Sam's head. Sam laughs. He feels the bird's feet tickle his hair.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Sam says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The bird nods. It makes a funny sound. It is happy. It likes Sam and Lily.
+
+Lily has a ball. She throws it to Sam. Sam catches it. He throws it back to Lily. The bird watches. It wants to join the game. It flies up and tries to catch the ball.
+
+But the ball is too big for the bird. The bird drops the ball. The ball falls on the ground. The bird feels sorry. It thinks it spoiled the game.
+
+"Oh, no, bird!" Lily says. "Are you okay?"
+
+The bird nods. It is not hurt. It flies back to Sam's head. It makes a sorry sound.
+
+"It's okay, bird!" Sam says. "You did not spoil the game. You made it more fun!"
+
+Lily and Sam smile. They are not mad at the bird. They are glad the bird is playful. They pick up the ball. They invite the bird to play again.
+
+The bird nods. It makes a happy sound. It is glad Lily and Sam are playful too. They play together until the sun sets. They have a lot of fun. They are friends.
+Anna was sad. She did not want to go to bed. She wanted to play with her toys and watch TV. But Mommy said it was time to sleep. She gave Anna a hug and a kiss and turned off the light.
+
+Anna lay in her bed and looked at the ceiling. She saw some stars and a moon that glowed in the dark. She tried to count them, but she got bored. She wished she had a friend to talk to. She felt lonely and scared.
+
+She heard a noise under her bed. She lifted her head and peeked. She saw a furry ball with big eyes and a long tail. It was a cat. The cat looked at her and meowed.
+
+"Hello, cat," Anna said softly. "What are you doing here?"
+
+The cat jumped on her bed and snuggled next to her. It purred and licked her cheek. "I'm looking for a home," the cat said. "I ran away from a bad place. Can I stay with you?"
+
+Anna smiled and hugged the cat. She felt happy and warm. "Yes, you can stay with me," she said. "You are my new friend. What is your name?"
+
+The cat thought for a moment. "How about Star?" it said. "Because I like the stars on your ceiling."
+
+Anna liked that name. She kissed the cat and said, "Good night, Star. I love you."
+
+The cat said, "I love you too, Anna." They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of stars and moons and happy things.
+Ben and Lily were bored. They wanted to play, but Mom said they had to stay in their room. She was making a big cake for Dad's birthday. She said it was a surprise and they could not see it.
+
+But Ben and Lily were curious. They wanted to see the cake. They waited until Mom went to the bathroom. Then they tiptoed to the kitchen. They saw a big staff on the table. It was shiny and had a star on top. It looked like a magic staff.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben whispered. "Maybe it can make wishes come true."
+
+"Let's try it," Lily said. "Maybe we can wish for some cake."
+
+They grabbed the staff and waved it in the air. They said, "We wish for some cake, we wish for some cake!"
+
+But nothing happened. The staff did not make any sound or light. It was just a staff.
+
+"Maybe it's broken," Ben said. "Or maybe we have to say it louder."
+
+They shouted, "We wish for some cake, we wish for some cake!"
+
+But still nothing happened. The staff did not make any cake. It only made a lot of noise.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came back to the kitchen. She saw Ben and Lily with the staff. She saw the cake on the counter. It was half-eaten. Ben and Lily had peeked at the cake and tasted it. It was delicious.
+
+Mom was very angry. She yelled, "What are you doing? You ruined the surprise! You ruined the cake! You ruined Dad's birthday!"
+
+She took the staff from them and put it back on the table. It was not a magic staff. It was a candle holder. She had bought it for Dad as a gift.
+
+She sent Ben and Lily to their room. She said they could not have any cake or any fun. They had to stay in their room until Dad came home.
+
+Ben and Lily were sad. They wished they had not been so curious. They wished they had not taken the staff. They wished they had not eaten the cake. They wished they had listened to Mom.
+
+But it was too late. They had made a big mistake. And they had to face the consequences.
+Mia and Leo were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and knock them down. Mia made a very tall tower and said, "Look, Leo, my tower is bigger than yours!"
+
+Leo wanted to make his tower bigger too, but he did not have enough blocks. He saw some blocks on the other side of the room and ran to get them. But he ran too fast and bumped his head on the table. He fell down and felt dizzy.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "My head hurts!"
+
+Mia heard Leo and ran to him. She saw a bump on his head and said, "Oh, Leo, I'm sorry. Are you okay?"
+
+She gave him a hug and a kiss. She found a band-aid and put it on his bump. She said, "Here, this will make you feel better. Do you want to take a nap?"
+
+Leo nodded. He was tired and dizzy. He said, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend."
+
+Mia smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Leo. You are a good friend too."
+
+She helped him to the couch and covered him with a blanket. She said, "Sleep well, Leo. I'll play with you later."
+
+She gave him another hug and a kiss. Then she went back to her blocks and played quietly. She was happy to have Leo as her friend.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys. Lila liked to wrap the toys with paper and ribbon. She said it was fun to make presents.
+
+"Look, Ben, I wrapped this crocodile for you," she said, holding a green toy. "It is very lively. It can snap and run and swim."
+
+Ben smiled and took the crocodile. He liked lively toys. He opened his mouth and made a loud roar. He pretended the crocodile was chasing Lila.
+
+"Help, help, the crocodile is after me!" Lila cried, running away. She laughed and looked for a place to hide.
+
+Ben followed her with the crocodile. He saw her behind a bush. He sneaked up to her and tickled her with the crocodile's tail.
+
+"Got you!" he said, giggling.
+
+Lila squealed and hugged him. She tickled him back with a soft toy. They fell on the grass and laughed.
+
+They were very happy. They liked to play with each other and their toys. They liked to wrap and unwrap and pretend. They had a lot of fun in the garden.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many different shapes and colors to choose from. Lily liked the round ones, like balls and wheels. Ben liked the square ones, like cubes and blocks.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a tower with my cubes!" Ben said, showing his creation to his sister. "It is very tall and strong. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, thank you, Ben. I like my round toys better. They can roll and spin and bounce. They are more fun."
+
+Ben frowned. He wanted to share his tower with Lily. He thought of a way to make her interested. "But, Lily, my cubes are powerful. They can do magic things. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lily was curious. She liked magic things. She nodded. "Yes, please, Ben. Show me what your cubes can do."
+
+Ben smiled. He picked up one of his cubes and held it in his hand. He whispered something to it and then threw it in the air. The cube flew across the room and landed on the couch. It made a loud noise and a bright flash.
+
+Lily gasped. She was amazed and scared. She covered her eyes and ears. "Ben, what did you do? That was too loud and too bright!"
+
+Ben laughed. He ran to the couch and picked up the cube. He showed it to Lily. It was not a normal cube. It was a toy that looked like a cube, but had a button and a light inside. Ben had pressed the button and made the light flash.
+
+"It is not a real cube, Lily. It is a toy. It is a joke. It is funny. Do you like it?" Ben asked, hoping Lily would not be mad at him.
+
+Lily looked at the toy. She saw the button and the light. She understood that Ben had tricked her. She was not mad. She was amused. She smiled and giggled.
+
+"I like it, Ben. It is a funny toy. Can I try it?" Lily asked, reaching for the toy.
+
+Ben nodded. He gave the toy to Lily. He was happy that Lily liked his cube. He said, "You can try it, Lily. But be careful. Do not throw it too hard or too far. And do not scare Mom or Dad. They might not like it."
+
+Lily agreed. She pressed the button and threw the toy in the air. It flew across the room and landed on the table. It made a loud noise and a bright flash.
+
+Lily and Ben laughed. They had fun with the toy. They played with it for a long time. They took turns throwing it and catching it. They made jokes and noises and flashes. They recommended the toy to each other. They liked the cube. It was powerful. It was magic. It was fun.
+Lily and Tom are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They have to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Lily likes to pack her pink dress and her doll. Tom likes to pack his blue shirt and his car.
+
+"Can I pack this?" Lily asks, holding a big book.
+
+"No, that is too heavy. You can read it at home," Mom says.
+
+"But I want to show Grandma. She likes books," Lily says.
+
+"Sorry, Lily. We have to pack light. You can take a small book instead," Mom says.
+
+Lily is not happy. She puts the big book back on the shelf and takes a small book. She puts it in her bag.
+
+Tom sees Lily's doll. He thinks it is funny. He takes it out of her bag and puts it in his bag.
+
+"Hey, that is mine!" Lily says.
+
+"No, it is mine now. It is a car doll," Tom says.
+
+"That is not a car doll. That is a princess doll. Give it back!" Lily says.
+
+They start to pull the doll. The doll's arm comes off.
+
+"Look what you did!" Lily cries.
+
+"Sorry, sorry. Here, you can have it," Tom says.
+
+He gives Lily the doll and the arm. Lily tries to fix it. She is sad.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asks.
+
+"Tom took my doll and broke it," Lily says.
+
+"Tom, why did you do that?" Mom asks.
+
+"I was just playing. I didn't mean to break it," Tom says.
+
+Mom sighs. She takes the doll and the arm. She gets some tape and sticks them together.
+
+"There, good as new," Mom says.
+
+She gives the doll back to Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Lily says.
+
+She hugs the doll.
+
+"Tom, you have to say sorry to Lily and share your toys," Mom says.
+
+"Sorry, Lily. Do you want to play with my car?" Tom says.
+
+"Okay, Tom. Thank you," Lily says.
+
+She smiles.
+
+They play with the car and the doll. They are friends again.
+
+Mom is happy. She finishes packing their bags.
+
+"Are you ready to go?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom," Lily and Tom say.
+
+They put on their coats and shoes. They go to the car.
+
+They drive to Grandma and Grandpa's house. They are excited.
+
+They knock on the door. Grandma and Grandpa open it.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Tom. We are so happy to see you," Grandma and Grandpa say.
+
+They hug and kiss them.
+
+"Come in, come in. We have cookies and milk for you," Grandma says.
+
+They go to the kitchen. They see a plate of cookies. They smell good.
+
+They take a cookie and a glass of milk. They take a bite.
+
+"Mmm, this is yummy. What is this?" Lily asks.
+
+"This is chocolate chip cookie. It is your favorite," Grandma says.
+
+"It is my favorite too," Tom says.
+
+They eat more cookies. They like the taste.
+
+They talk and laugh with Grandma and Grandpa. They tell them about their school and their friends.
+
+They have fun.
+
+They start to feel sleepy. They yawn.
+
+"Are you tired, Lily and Tom?" Grandpa asks.
+
+"A little bit," Lily and Tom say.
+
+"Why don't you go to your room and rest? We have a surprise for you tomorrow," Grandpa says.
+
+"What is it?" Lily and Tom ask.
+
+"You will see. It is a secret," Grandpa says.
+
+He winks.
+
+They are curious. They want to know the surprise.
+
+But they are also sleepy. They nod.
+
+They go to their room. They see two beds with blankets and pillows.
+
+They put their bags on the floor. They take out their pajamas and change.
+
+They get into their beds. They hug their doll and their car.
+
+They say good night to each other.
+
+They close their eyes. They fall asleep.
+
+They dream of the surprise.
+Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with cardboard boxes. They made houses, cars, rockets and more. They used crayons to draw on the cardboard. They had a lot of fun.
+
+One day, they found a big cardboard box in the garage. It was bigger than them. They decided to make a castle. They cut out windows and a door. They drew flags and flowers. They put a blanket on top. They were very proud of their castle.
+
+They went inside the castle and pretended to be a king and a queen. They had a tea party with their stuffed animals. They sang songs and told jokes. They laughed a lot.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Rex. Rex was curious. He saw the cardboard box and wanted to play. He ran towards the box and jumped on it. He bounced on the box with his paws. He barked and wagged his tail.
+
+Tom and Mia were scared. They felt the box shake and collapse. They screamed and crawled out of the box. They saw Rex on the ground, surrounded by cardboard pieces. He looked happy and confused.
+
+"Rex, bad dog!" Tom shouted. "You broke our castle!"
+
+"Go away, Rex!" Mia cried. "You ruined our game!"
+
+Rex felt sad. He did not mean to break the box. He just wanted to join the fun. He lowered his head and whimpered. He walked away slowly.
+
+Tom and Mia looked at each other. They felt sorry for Rex. He was their friend too. He was a good dog, but sometimes he was too playful. They realized they were too harsh with him.
+
+"Wait, Rex!" Tom called. "Come back!"
+
+"We're sorry, Rex!" Mia said. "We still love you!"
+
+Rex heard them and turned around. He saw them smile and wave. He ran back to them and licked their faces. He wagged his tail again.
+
+Tom and Mia hugged him and petted him. They forgave him for breaking the box. They decided to share their toys with him. They gave him a ball to bounce. He was very happy.
+
+They played together until it was time to go inside. They were a modest but happy family. They loved each other very much.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the trees and swing on the ropes. They were adventurous and brave.
+
+One day, they saw a big red bug on a leaf. It had six legs and two long feelers. Anna wanted to touch it, but Ben was scared.
+
+"Don't touch it, Anna! It might pinch you!" Ben said.
+
+"No, it won't. It is just a bug. I want to see it better," Anna said. She reached out her hand to the leaf.
+
+But the bug did not like Anna's hand. It pinched her finger with its strong jaws. Anna cried out in pain and pulled back her hand.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It pinched me, Ben! It pinched me!" Anna said.
+
+"I told you, Anna! You should not touch it! Let me see your hand," Ben said. He took Anna's hand and looked at her finger. It was red and swollen.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. That was a bad bug. Do you want me to kiss it better?" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, please. And then let's go to the slide. I don't like bugs anymore," Anna said.
+
+Ben kissed Anna's finger and hugged her. Then they ran to the slide and had fun. They were still adventurous and brave, but they learned to be careful of bugs.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a small ashtray on a bench. It is shiny and has a picture of a car on it.
+
+"Look, Jen, what is this?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know, Tom. Maybe it is a toy," Jen says.

+They take the ashtray and pretend it is a car. They make vroom-vroom noises and drive it on the grass. They have fun.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. It barks and runs towards them. Tom and Jen are scared. They drop the ashtray and run away. The dog picks up the ashtray in its mouth and runs away too.
+
+"Tom, we lost the ashtray!" Jen cries.
+
+"I know, Jen. I'm sorry. It was a nice ashtray," Tom says.
+
+They are sad. They look for the ashtray, but they can't find it. The dog is gone too.
+
+"Maybe we can find another ashtray someday," Jen says.
+
+"Maybe, Jen. But I don't think it will be as shiny and as cool as this one," Tom says.
+
+They hug and go home. They hope the dog is happy with the ashtray.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play dress-up. They have many costumes in a big box. Today, they want to be a princess and a knight.
+
+Lily picks a pink dress with shiny stones. She puts it on and looks in the mirror. She feels pretty. She also finds a crown and a wand. She says, "I am a princess. I can do magic."
+
+Ben picks a silver suit with a helmet and a sword. He puts it on and looks in the mirror. He feels brave. He also finds a shield and a horse. He says, "I am a knight. I can fight dragons."
+
+They go to the garden and pretend to have an adventure. They see a big tree and think it is a castle. They run to the tree and knock on the door. They hear a voice.
+
+"Who is there?" the voice says.
+
+"We are a princess and a knight. We want to visit your castle," Lily and Ben say.
+
+The voice says, "You are welcome. Come in."
+
+They open the door and see a cat. The cat is wearing a hat and a cape. The cat says, "I am the king of the castle. You are my guests. You have charming costumes."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you, your majesty. You have a nice costume too."
+
+They play with the cat and have a tea party. They have fun. They are happy.
+Ben likes to play in the garden with his toy truck. He digs in the dirt and makes roads and hills for his truck to drive on. One day, he sees a small hole in the dirt. He wonders what is inside. He puts his finger in the hole and feels something soft and furry.
+
+"Ouch!" he says, pulling his finger out. He sees a tiny bite mark on his finger. He runs to his mom and shows her his finger. "Mom, what bit me?" he asks.
+
+Mom looks at his finger and says, "That was a mole, Ben. A mole is a small animal that lives under the ground. It has a long nose and sharp teeth. It does not like to be disturbed. It bit you because it was scared."
+
+Ben feels sorry for the mole. He says, "I did not mean to scare it, Mom. I just wanted to see what was in the hole. Can I say sorry to the mole?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That is very kind of you, Ben. But I don't think the mole will come out of the hole. It is very shy. Maybe you can leave it some food, like a worm or a nut, near the hole. That might make it happy."
+
+Ben likes that idea. He goes back to the garden and finds a worm and a nut. He puts them near the hole and says, "Sorry, mole. I hope you like these. Please don't bite me again."
+
+He goes back to his toy truck and plays some more. He does not dig near the hole anymore. He hopes the mole will eat the food and be his friend.
+
+The next day, he goes to the garden and sees that the food is gone. He also sees a small pile of dirt near the hole. He thinks the mole made it. He is happy that the mole liked the food. He says, "Hello, mole. Thank you for the dirt. It is very nice. Can I use it for my truck?"
+
+He does not hear an answer, but he thinks the mole is listening. He takes some of the dirt and makes a hill for his truck. He says, "Look, mole. I made a hill. Do you want to see?"
+
+He waits for a moment, but he does not see the mole. He thinks the mole is shy. He says, "That's okay, mole. Maybe another day. Bye, mole. Have a good day."
+
+He plays with his truck and his hill. He is happy that he has a new friend in the garden. He does not know that the mole is not real. It is a fake mole that his dad put in the hole as a joke. His dad is watching him from the window and laughing. He thinks Ben is very cute and funny. He decides to tell him the truth later. He hopes Ben will not be mad. He hopes Ben will still like the fake mole. He thinks the fake mole is very cute and funny, too.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big ladder leaning on a tall tree. They wanted to climb the ladder and see what was on top of the tree.
+
+"Let's go up the ladder!" Lily said. "Maybe we can see the birds and the clouds!"
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Ben said. "The ladder is very high and shaky!"
+
+They took turns to climb the ladder, one by one. Lily went first, and Ben followed her. They climbed and climbed, until they reached the top of the tree. They felt very happy and proud.
+
+"Wow, look at the view!" Lily said. "We can see the whole park and the houses and the cars!"
+
+"Yes, and look at the sky!" Ben said. "It is so blue and bright! I wish I could soar like a bird!"
+
+They looked around and enjoyed the view for a while. Then they heard a loud noise. It was the wind, blowing hard. The ladder started to sway and shake.
+
+"Oh no, the ladder is moving!" Lily said. "We have to go down, fast!"
+
+They tried to go down the ladder, but it was too late. The wind pushed the ladder and it fell to the ground, with Lily and Ben still on it. They screamed and cried as they fell. They hit the ground hard and got hurt. They had bruises and cuts and blood.
+
+A man who was walking by heard their screams and ran to help them. He called for help and waited for the ambulance to come. He tried to comfort them and stop the bleeding.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids, you were very brave, but you should not have climbed the ladder," he said. "It was too dangerous and risky. You could have died!"
+
+Lily and Ben felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had not climbed the ladder. They wished they had listened to Ben and been careful. They learned a hard lesson that day. They never climbed a ladder again.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the yard with their dolls and cars. They liked to make up stories and pretend they were in different places. Sara had a fancy dress and a hat that she found in her mom's closet. Ben had a big truck and a cap that he got for his birthday.
+
+"Let's go to the park and have a picnic," Sara said. "I want to show off my fancy dress and hat."
+
+"OK, but we have to hurry," Ben said. "The sky is getting dark and I hear thunder."
+
+They packed some snacks and toys in a basket and ran to the park. They found a nice spot under a tree and spread a blanket on the grass. They ate some cookies and drank some juice. They shared their dolls and cars and had fun.
+
+Suddenly, they saw a big, scary thing in the sky. It was spinning and roaring and coming closer. It was a tornado!
+
+"Run, Sara, run!" Ben shouted. "We have to move away from the tornado!"
+
+They grabbed their basket and ran as fast as they could. They saw their mom and dad in the car, waving and honking. They got in the car and drove away from the park. The tornado passed by and went to another place.
+
+"Are you OK, Sara and Ben?" their mom asked. "That was a very bad storm. You were very brave."
+
+"We're OK, mom," Sara said. "But I'm sorry I lost my fancy dress and hat. They flew away with the tornado."
+
+"That's OK, Sara," their dad said. "You can have another fancy dress and hat. The most important thing is that you are safe and sound."
+
+They hugged and kissed their mom and dad. They were happy to be together and away from the tornado. They learned a lesson: never play outside when there is a storm.
+Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Anna counts to ten and then looks for Ben.
+
+She sees a big bush with many leaves. She thinks Ben might be hiding there. She walks to the bush and peeks behind it. But there is no Ben, only a bird. The bird flies away and makes a loud noise.
+
+"Shh, bird, you will tell Anna where I am!" Ben says from another bush. He is hiding there, but he is careless. He talks too loud and Anna hears him.
+
+Anna runs to the other bush and peeks behind it. She sees Ben and smiles. "I found you, Ben! You are not a good hider. You should be quiet and still."
+
+Ben pouts and says, "You are not a good seeker. You only found me because of the bird. It is not fair."
+
+Anna laughs and says, "It is fair, Ben. The bird is part of the game. It is like a helper for me. Come on, let's play again. This time, you can be the seeker and I will be the hider. But don't peek before you count to ten!"
+
+Ben agrees and they play again. They have fun and forget about the bird. They like to hide and seek in the park. It is wide and green and full of surprises.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill with many red flowers on it. They wanted to go and see the flowers up close.
+
+"Let's climb the hill and pick some poppies!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful not to fall or get dirty," Tom said.
+
+They held hands and started to climb the hill. They saw many bugs and birds on the way. They also saw a big cloud that looked like a dragon.
+
+"Look, Lily, a dragon cloud!" Tom said.
+
+"Wow, it's so cool!" Lily said.
+
+They reached the top of the hill and saw a field of poppies. They were bright and beautiful. They smelled sweet and soft.
+
+"Look, Tom, so many poppies!" Lily said.
+
+"Let's pick some for Mom and Dad!" Tom said.
+
+They picked some poppies and put them in their pockets. They were very happy. They decided to go back down the hill.
+
+"Let's go home and show our poppies to Mom and Dad!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be clean and not drop them," Tom said.
+
+They held hands and started to go down the hill. They saw the same bugs and birds on the way. They also saw the big cloud that looked like a dragon.
+
+"Look, Lily, the dragon cloud is still there!" Tom said.
+
+"Maybe it likes us and our poppies!" Lily said.
+
+They reached the bottom of the hill and ran to their house. They saw Mom and Dad waiting for them.
+
+"Mom, Dad, look what we found!" Lily said.
+
+"Poppies, how lovely!" Mom said.
+
+"Where did you get them?" Dad said.
+
+"We climbed the hill and picked them for you!" Tom said.
+
+"You did? That's very brave and kind of you!" Mom said.
+
+"Thank you, sweeties, they are very pretty!" Dad said.
+
+They hugged and kissed their parents and gave them the poppies. They were very proud and happy. They had a fun and clean adventure.
+Tom is a dog. He likes to play with his human, Ben. Ben is a boy. He likes to throw a ball and Tom likes to catch it. They have fun in the park.
+
+One day, Ben wears a new jacket. It has a zip. Tom is curious. He wants to see the zip. He runs to Ben and bites the zip. Ben yells, "No, Tom! Bad dog! You are hurting my jacket!"
+
+Tom is scared. He does not understand. He thinks Ben is angry with him. He lets go of the zip and runs away. He hides behind a tree. He feels sad.
+
+Ben is sorry. He loves Tom. He knows Tom did not mean to hurt his jacket. He looks for Tom. He calls his name. He sees Tom behind the tree. He walks to him. He says, "Tom, come here. I am not mad at you. I know you were curious. But you have to be careful. Zips are not for biting. They are for closing and opening. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom looks at Ben. He sees Ben's smile. He wags his tail. He understands. He is happy. He runs to Ben and licks his face. Ben hugs him. He says, "Good dog, Tom. I love you. Let's play some more."
+
+They go back to the park. They play with the ball. They have fun. They forget about the zip.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. One day, they saw a big jar of honey on the shelf. They decided to taste some honey when their mom was not looking. They climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. They took a teaspoon each and dipped it in the honey. It was sweet and sticky and yummy.
+
+"More, more!" Ben said, licking his lips.
+
+"Me too!" Sara said, scooping another spoonful.
+
+They did not hear their mom coming back from the garden. She saw them with honey all over their faces and hands and the jar almost empty.
+
+"Sara! Ben! What are you doing?" she asked, sounding angry.
+
+The twins felt guilty. They knew they had done something bad. They dropped their spoons and looked at their mom with big eyes.
+
+"Sorry, mom," they said in a small voice.
+
+Mom sighed and shook her head. She took them to the sink and washed their faces and hands. Then she sat them down on the table and explained.
+
+"Honey is good, but too much honey is not good. It can make you sick and spoil your teeth. And you should not take things without asking. That is not nice. You have to share and be polite. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for making their mom upset. They hugged her and said they loved her.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she loved them too. She gave them a glass of water and a slice of bread each. She said they could have a little honey on their bread, but only a little.
+
+The twins thanked their mom and ate their bread. They decided to be good and not take things without asking again. They learned their lesson.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy tea set. They had a pot, four cups, and some cookies. Tom wanted to be the one who poured the tea for everyone. He liked to pretend he was a waiter.
+
+"Can I pour the tea, please?" Lily asked. She wanted to try too.
+
+"No, I'm the pourer. You can have the cookies," Tom said. He was selfish. He did not want to share his fun.
+
+"But I want to pour too. It's not fair," Lily said. She was sad and angry. She did not like Tom's selfishness.
+
+"Too bad. It's my tea set. I can do what I want," Tom said. He poured some tea into his cup and drank it. He did not care about Lily's feelings.
+
+Lily felt a big tear roll down her cheek. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She grabbed the pot and poured all the tea on Tom's head.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing? That's not nice!" Tom shouted. He was wet and surprised. He did not like Lily's revenge.
+
+"Maybe now you will learn to share and be nice," Lily said. She put the pot down and walked away. She did not want to be friends with Tom anymore.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make races with their cars on the floor.
+
+One day, Ben has a new car. It is red and shiny. It has a sticker that says "speed". Ben says to Mia, "Look at my new car. It is very fast. It can win any race. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Mia says, "Yes, please. It looks fun. Can I have a turn?" Ben gives Mia his new car. Mia puts it on the floor and pushes it. The car zooms away. It is faster than any other car. Mia laughs. She says, "Wow, this car is amazing. It is so speedy. I like it."
+
+Ben smiles. He says, "I know. It is my favorite car. But you have to be careful. It is also very sticky. It has gum on the wheels. That is why it is so fast. It sticks to the floor and does not slide. But if you touch the gum, it will stick to your fingers. And it is hard to get off."
+
+Mia says, "Oh, I see. That is clever. But why do you have gum on the wheels? Where did you get it?"
+
+Ben says, "I got it from my sister. She likes to chew gum. But she does not like to throw it away. She sticks it under the table or on the wall. I found some of her gum and I took it. I put it on my car. It makes it faster and more fun."
+
+Mia says, "That is not very nice. You should not take your sister's gum. She might get angry. And it is not good to stick gum everywhere. It is dirty and rude. You should throw it away in the trash."
+
+Ben says, "You are right. I am sorry. I will not do it again. I will take the gum off my car. And I will tell my sister I am sorry. And I will give you another car. A reliable car. A car that does not have gum on the wheels. A car that is fast and fun, but not sticky. Do you want that?"
+
+Mia says, "Yes, thank you. That is very kind of you. You are a good friend. I like reliable cars. And I like you."
+Ben and Lily like to play with the phone. They like to push the buttons and hear the sounds. Sometimes they pretend to talk to their friends or their grandma. But they know they have to be careful and not call anyone for real.
+
+One day, they find a phone in the basement. It is old and dusty and has a long cord. Ben says, "Let's play with this phone. Maybe it has different sounds." Lily says, "OK, but don't call anyone for real."
+
+They plug the phone into the wall and push the buttons. They hear a dial tone and some beeps. Then they hear a voice. It says, "Hello, this is 911. What is your emergency?"
+
+Ben and Lily are scared. They don't know what to say. They drop the phone and run upstairs. The phone keeps ringing and ringing. The voice keeps saying, "Hello, hello, are you there?"
+
+Mom hears the phone and goes to the basement. She sees the phone and picks it up. She says, "Hello, I'm sorry, this is a mistake. My kids were playing with the phone. There is no emergency."
+
+The voice says, "OK, ma'am, please be careful and teach your kids not to play with the phone. This line is for emergencies only."
+
+Mom says, "I'm sorry, I will. Thank you for your service. Goodbye."
+
+She hangs up the phone and unplugs it. She goes upstairs and finds Ben and Lily. She says, "Kids, what did you do? You called 911. That is very bad. You could have caused trouble for someone who really needs help. You have to be more careful and not play with the phone. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Lily nod. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We didn't know. We won't do it again."
+
+Mom says, "I hope so. Now, come here and give me a hug. I love you, but you have to be more responsible."
+
+Ben and Lily hug Mom and say, "We love you too, Mom. We will be more responsible."
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dinosaur. The dinosaur was green and had sharp teeth and a long tail. They liked to make the dinosaur roar and chase other toys.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom wanted to go to the park with their dinosaur. They asked their moms if they could go. Their moms said yes, but they had to share the dinosaur and be careful. Lily and Tom agreed and put the dinosaur in a bag. The bag was tight, but the dinosaur fit inside.
+
+At the park, Lily and Tom took out the dinosaur and started to play. They made the dinosaur run and jump and eat grass. They had a lot of fun. But soon, they started to argue. Lily wanted to make the dinosaur fly, but Tom wanted to make the dinosaur swim. They pulled the dinosaur from each other and shouted.
+
+"Let go! It's my turn!" Lily said.
+
+"No, it's mine! I had it first!" Tom said.
+
+The dinosaur did not like to be pulled. It felt hurt and scared. It opened its mouth and bit the bag. The bag ripped and the dinosaur fell out. It ran away from Lily and Tom and hid behind a tree.
+
+Lily and Tom stopped fighting and looked at the dinosaur. They felt sorry and sad. They had lost their favorite toy. They ran after the dinosaur and called its name.
+
+"Dinosaur, come back! We are sorry! We love you!" they said.
+
+The dinosaur heard them and peeked from behind the tree. It saw their faces and heard their words. It felt happy and safe. It came out from behind the tree and ran to Lily and Tom. They hugged the dinosaur and said sorry again.
+
+Lily and Tom learned a lesson. They learned to share and to be kind. They learned that toys have feelings too. They played with the dinosaur together and had more fun. They thanked their moms and went home. They never fought over the dinosaur again.
+Anna and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they did not like the big fire that burned the trees and the grass. The fire made a lot of smoke and ash. The ash was black and dirty. It made their eyes and noses hurt.
+
+One day, they saw a new friend in the park. He was a little dog with white fur and brown spots. He wagged his tail and licked their hands. He was very nice. Anna and Ben wanted to play with him.
+
+"Hello, dog. What is your name?" Anna asked.
+
+"Woof, woof!" the dog said.
+
+"We will call you Spot. Do you want to play with us?" Ben asked.
+
+"Woof, woof!" the dog said.
+
+They played with Spot for a long time. They threw a ball and he fetched it. They rubbed his belly and he rolled over. They gave him some water and he drank it. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck with a red light and a siren. It was a fire truck. It came to the park to put out the fire. The firemen jumped out of the truck and sprayed water on the fire. The fire went out and the smoke and ash stopped.
+
+"Good job, firemen!" Anna and Ben cheered.
+
+"Thank you, kids. But you should not play here. It is not safe. The fire can come back. The ash can make you sick. You should go home," one of the firemen said.
+
+"OK, fireman. We will go home. But can we take Spot with us? He is our new friend. He is very nice. We do not want to leave him here," Anna said.
+
+"Spot? Who is Spot?" the fireman asked.
+
+"He is our dog. He is right here," Ben said.
+
+But Spot was not there. He had run away when he heard the truck. He was afraid of the noise and the water. He did not like the fire truck. He hid behind a bush.
+
+"Sorry, kids. I do not see any dog. Maybe he was a stray. Maybe he belonged to someone else. Maybe he will come back. But you should not mind him. You should mind yourselves. Go home and be safe," the fireman said.
+
+Anna and Ben were sad. They liked Spot. They wanted to keep him. They wanted to play with him again. They looked for him, but they could not find him. They had to go home.
+
+They hoped that Spot was OK. They hoped that he would come back. They hoped that he would remember them. They hoped that he would be their friend. They did not mind the ash. They minded Spot. He was very nice.
+Ben and Sam are best friends. They like to play with cars and trucks in the sandbox. One day, it rains a lot. The sandbox becomes wet and muddy. The water fills up the sandbox and makes a big flood.
+
+"Look, Ben, a flood!" Sam says. "Our cars and trucks are swimming in the water!"
+
+"Wow, Sam, that's cool!" Ben says. "Let's pretend we are rescuers. We can save our cars and trucks from the flood."
+
+They discuss how to do it. They get a bucket and a shovel. They scoop out some water from the sandbox and pour it on the grass. They use their hands to grab their cars and trucks and put them on a dry spot.
+
+"Good job, Ben and Sam!" their mom says. "You are very lively and creative. But now it's time to go inside and get dry. You can play with your cars and trucks later."
+
+"Okay, mom," they say. They give each other a high five. They are happy they had fun with the flood.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they also like to fight. They are very competitive. They always want to have the best toy, the most candy, or the most attention.
+
+One day, they find a big red balloon in the park. They both want the balloon. They run to grab it, but they get there at the same time. They pull and tug on the balloon, trying to take it from each other.
+
+"Let go! It's mine!" Tom shouts.
+
+"No, it's mine! You let go!" Lily yells.
+
+They fight harder and harder, until the balloon pops. They are both surprised and sad. They look at the pieces of the balloon on the ground. They start to cry.
+
+But they are also angry. They blame each other for breaking the balloon. They push and shove and hit each other. They hurt each other's faces and arms and legs.
+
+"Ow! You bit my lip!" Tom screams.
+
+"Ow! You scratched my eye!" Lily cries.
+
+They fight until they are both bleeding and bruised. They are too hurt to play or have fun. They are too mad to say sorry or hug.
+
+Their mom comes and sees them. She is shocked and upset. She scolds them and takes them home. She cleans their wounds and puts bandages on them. She tells them they have to stay in their rooms and think about what they did. She says they can't have any toys or candy or TV for a week.
+
+Tom and Lily are miserable. They wish they had shared the balloon. They wish they had been nice to each other. They wish they had not fought. But it is too late. They have no balloon, no toys, no candy, no TV, and no fun. They have only pain and regret. They have a bad ending.
+Tom was a train who liked to number his cars. He had one, two, three, four, five cars that he pulled every day. He was proud of his cars and how fast he could go.
+
+One day, he had to go through a big tunnel. He was scared of the tunnel. It was dark and cold and loud. He wanted to see the sun and the trees and the birds. He wished he had a friend to go with him.
+
+He went into the tunnel and it was very lonely. He could not see or hear anything but his own wheels. He counted his cars to make himself feel better. One, two, three, four, five. He said the numbers over and over.
+
+Then he heard another voice. It was another train who was also going through the tunnel. The other train said hello and asked his name. Tom said his name and asked the other train's name. The other train said his name was Ben and he also liked to number his cars. He had six, seven, eight, nine, ten cars that he pulled every day.
+
+Tom and Ben talked and counted their cars together. They found out they had many things in common. They both liked to go fast and to see the sun and the trees and the birds. They became friends and the tunnel did not seem so scary anymore.
+
+Soon they came out of the tunnel and saw the bright sky and the green grass and the colorful flowers. They smiled and waved at each other. They agreed to meet again the next day and go through the tunnel together. Tom was not lonely anymore. He had a new friend who liked to number his cars.
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb it. They hold hands and start to walk up. They go slow and careful. The hill is steep and hard.
+
+"Zip, zip, zip!" they hear a sound. They look up. They see a boy on a bike. He is going very fast down the hill. He has a helmet and a jacket. He looks cool.
+
+"Wow!" Ben says. "I want to do that!"
+
+"Me too!" Lily says. "But we don't have bikes."
+
+The boy stops near them. He smiles. He says, "Hi, I'm Max. Do you want to try my bike?"
+
+Ben and Lily nod. They are excited. Max helps them get on the bike. He tells them how to use the pedals and the brakes. He says, "Be careful. Don't go too fast. And don't forget to breathe."
+
+Ben and Lily thank him. They take turns on the bike. They go down the hill. They feel the wind on their faces. They breathe with their lungs. They feel happy.
+
+They go up and down the hill a few times. They have more fun. They laugh and shout. They make friends with Max.
+
+They are tired. They give the bike back to Max. They say, "Thank you. You are very nice. Can we play with you again?"
+
+Max says, "Sure. You are welcome. You are very brave. And you are regular kids. I like you."
+
+They hug. They say goodbye. They go back to their parents. They tell them about their adventure. They are proud. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big boot in the grass. It was brown and dirty and had a hole in it. Tim wanted to see what was inside the boot, but Kim was scared.
+
+"Maybe there is a snake or a spider in the boot," Kim said. "We should leave it alone."
+
+"No, I want to look," Tim said. He picked up the boot and shook it. Something fell out of the hole. It was a shiny key.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tim said. He held the key in his hand and smiled. "Maybe it opens a treasure chest or a secret door."
+
+Kim was curious too. She reached for the key, but Tim pulled it away.
+
+"No, it's mine. I found it," Tim said. He ran away with the key, leaving Kim behind.
+
+Kim felt sad and angry. She wanted to see the key too. She thought Tim was mean and selfish. She ran after him, shouting, "Give it back! Give it back!"
+
+Tim ran to the big tree in the yard. He saw a hole in the trunk. He wondered if the key would fit in the hole. He put the key in the hole and turned it. The tree made a loud noise and opened up. Tim was surprised and happy. He saw a dark tunnel inside the tree. He thought it was a secret passage to a new adventure.
+
+He was about to go inside, when he heard Kim's voice.
+
+"Tim, wait! Don't go in there! It's scary!"
+
+Tim looked back and saw Kim. She was crying and scared. She wanted Tim to come back. She was sorry for being angry. She wanted to play with him.
+
+Tim felt sorry too. He realized he had been mean and selfish. He wanted to play with Kim. He took the key out of the hole and ran to Kim. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Kim. I was wrong. You can have the key. Let's play together."
+
+Kim smiled and hugged him back. She said, "I'm sorry too, Tim. I was wrong. You can have the key. Let's play together."
+
+They forgave each other and shared the key. They decided not to go inside the tree. It was too scary. They played with the boot and the key and had fun. They were happy and they loved each other.
+Lily and Max were playing outside in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. Lily wanted to give the snowman a scarf, too. She saw a red scarf hanging on a fence. She ran to grab it.
+
+"Hey, that's my scarf!" a voice shouted. Lily turned and saw a boy with a sled. He looked angry. "Give it back!"
+
+"But I need it for the snowman," Lily said. She held the scarf tight.
+
+"No, you don't. It's mine. I left it there while I went sledding. You can't just take it." The boy came closer and tried to pull the scarf from Lily's hands.
+
+Max saw what was happening. He ran to help Lily. He pushed the boy away. "Leave her alone. She didn't know it was yours. You can have another scarf. There are many in the house."
+
+The boy frowned. He felt uncomfortable. He knew he was being mean. He let go of the scarf. "Sorry," he mumbled. "I guess I was too cold and grumpy. Can we share the scarf?"
+
+Lily smiled. She nodded. She wrapped the scarf around the snowman's neck. Then she gave one end to the boy. "Here, you can have this part. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The boy smiled, too. He nodded. He took the end of the scarf. "Sure, I do. What's your name?"
+
+"I'm Lily. This is Max. And this is our snowman."
+
+"I'm Ben. Nice to meet you. Can I help you make the snowman's eyes?"
+
+Lily and Max agreed. They found some stones and put them on the snowman's face. They laughed and played together. They forgot about the cold and the scarf. They had a new friend.
+Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with toys and watch TV. One day, they are very hungry. They want to eat ice cream. They know where Mom keeps the ice cream. It is in the freezer.
+
+They go to the kitchen. They open the freezer. They see a big box of ice cream. It has many colors and flavors. They are very happy. They take the box out of the freezer. They open it. They see many spoons inside. They each take a spoon. They start to eat the ice cream.
+
+Mom is in the living room. She hears a noise. She goes to the kitchen. She sees Sam and Tom eating the ice cream. She is very angry. She says, "What are you doing? You are not supposed to eat the ice cream. It is for dessert. You are very naughty. You will get a tummy ache. Put the ice cream back in the freezer. Now!"
+
+Sam and Tom are very scared. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We are very hungry. We like the ice cream. It is very yummy. Please don't be mad at us. We love you."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, but you have to listen to me. You have to eat your lunch first. Then you can have some ice cream. But not the whole box. That is too much. And you have to ask me first. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam and Tom nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will do what you tell us. We will put the ice cream back in the freezer. We will eat our lunch. We will be good boys."
+
+Mom says, "OK. Thank you. You are good boys. But you are also very silly. You left the freezer open. That is not good. The freezer will get warm. The ice cream will melt. That is very stupid. You have to close the freezer. Always close the freezer. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam and Tom nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will close the freezer. Always close the freezer. We are sorry. We are not stupid. We are just silly."
+
+Mom says, "OK. I forgive you. But don't do it again. Come on. Let's go to the dining room. I have made some sandwiches for you. They are very tasty. You will like them. And later, you can have some ice cream. But not too much. OK?"
+
+Sam and Tom say, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom. You are the best. We love you."
+
+They hug Mom. They put the ice cream back in the freezer. They close the freezer. They go to the dining room. They eat their sandwiches. They are very happy. They are good boys.
+Lila and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and stories with their cars, dolls and blocks. But then they saw a big box on the table. It had a picture of a magic wand and a hat. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They climbed on the chairs and opened the box. They found a shiny wand and a black hat. They also found a note that said: "This is a magic set. Be careful what you wish for. To make the magic work, you have to say a song and wave the wand."
+
+Lila and Tom thought this was very cool. They wanted to try the magic. Lila picked up the wand and said: "I wish I was a princess with a pretty dress and a crown." She said a song that she learned at school and waved the wand. Nothing happened. She was still in her jeans and t-shirt.
+
+Tom laughed and said: "That was a silly wish. And a silly song. Let me try. I wish I was a giant with big muscles and a sword." He said a song that he made up and waved the wand. Nothing happened. He was still in his shorts and shirt.
+
+They were disappointed and bored. They decided to put the wand and the hat back in the box. But as they were doing that, they heard a strange noise. It sounded like a beep. They looked at each other and realized that they were shrinking. They were getting smaller and smaller. The box, the table, the chairs, the toys, everything was getting bigger and bigger.
+
+They were scared and confused. They did not know what to do. They tried to call their mom and dad, but their voices were too tiny. They could not hear them. They wondered if the magic wand and the hat had something to do with their wish and their song. They wished they had not played with them. They felt very poor and sad. They hoped that someone would find them and help them. They hugged each other and waited.
+Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a big teddy bear and Tom has a small car. Lily likes to hug her teddy bear and pretend it is her friend. Tom likes to zoom his car around the floor and make noises.
+
+"Can I play with your teddy bear?" Tom asks Lily. He thinks the teddy bear looks soft and cozy.
+
+"OK, but be careful. He is very big and heavy. He weighs a lot," Lily says. She gives her teddy bear to Tom and takes his car.
+
+Tom tries to lift the teddy bear, but he can't. He puts it on his shoulder, but it falls off. He tries to fit it in his lap, but it is too big. He feels tired and frustrated.
+
+"This teddy bear is too big for me. I don't like it. It is hard to play with," Tom says. He gives the teddy bear back to Lily and takes his car.
+
+Lily smiles and hugs her teddy bear. She likes it because it is big and heavy. It makes her feel safe and warm.
+
+"I like my teddy bear. He is my friend. He is just right for me," Lily says.
+
+Tom and Lily play with their own toys again. They are happy and have fun.
+Lily wanted to help her mom bake a cake. She put on a pink apron and climbed on a chair. She saw a big bowl, a spoon, and some eggs. She wanted to crack the eggs and stir the batter.
+
+But mom said, "No, Lily, not yet. The eggs are fragile. You have to be gentle with them. Let me show you how to do it."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to do it by herself. She did not want to wait. She grabbed an egg and smashed it on the table. The egg broke and made a mess. The yolk and the shell went everywhere.
+
+Mom gasped and said, "Oh, Lily, what have you done? You wasted an egg and made a big mess. You have to listen to me and be careful. Baking is not a game. It is a skill. You have to learn how to do it right."
+
+Lily started to cry. She did not mean to make mom mad. She just wanted to help. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to bake a cake with you. I wanted to be like you. I did not know how to crack an egg."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you were trying to help. But you have to be patient and follow the steps. Baking a cake takes time and practice. You can't just do it any way you want. You have to manage the ingredients and the tools. You have to measure and mix and pour and bake. You have to follow the recipe."
+
+Mom hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, we still have more eggs. We can still bake a cake together. But first, we have to clean up this mess. Will you help me with that?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I will help you clean up. And then, can you teach me how to crack an egg?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. I will teach you how to crack an egg. And how to stir the batter. And how to bake a cake. And how to eat it too. You are my little helper. And I love you very much."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love baking with you. And I love cake."
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would throw it, catch it, kick it, and roll it. Sometimes they would share it, and sometimes they would fight over it.
+
+One day, their mom made a yummy dessert for them. It was a cake with chocolate and cream and cherries. She put it on the table and told them to wait until after dinner. Ben and Lily nodded, but they were very hungry and curious. They wanted to taste the cake.
+
+When their mom went to the kitchen, Ben and Lily sneaked to the table. They saw the cake and their eyes grew big. Ben reached for a cherry, but Lily slapped his hand. "No, Ben, we have to wait!" she said. Ben was angry and pulled the cake closer to him. "I want it now!" he said. Lily tried to grab the cake back, but Ben pushed her away. They started to shout at each other.
+
+"Stop it, stop it, stop it!" their mom yelled as she came back. She saw the cake and the twins and was very upset. She took the cake away and put it in the fridge. She scolded Ben and Lily for being naughty and greedy. She said they would not get any dessert tonight. Ben and Lily cried and said they were sorry, but their mom did not listen.
+
+That night, Ben and Lily went to bed without dessert. They felt sad and sorry. They hugged each other and said they loved each other. They promised to share their toys and their cake next time. They fell asleep and dreamed of chocolate and cream and cherries.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big pole with a sign on it. The sign has a picture of a pizza and a phone number.
+
+"Let's order pizza!" Tom says. He takes out his toy phone and pretends to call. "Hello, pizza place? I want a regular pizza with cheese and ham. And Sue wants a regular pizza with cheese and pineapple. Please bring it to the park. Thank you!"
+
+Sue nods and smiles. She likes pineapple on her pizza. She thinks Tom is funny. She takes out her toy money and gives it to Tom. "Here, this is for the pizza. How long do we have to wait?"
+
+Tom looks at his toy phone. He makes a beep sound. "The pizza will be here in ten minutes. Let's play while we wait. Do you want to swing or slide?"
+
+Sue thinks for a moment. She likes both. She decides to swing first. "Let's swing!" she says. She runs to the swings and sits on one. Tom follows her and sits on the other. They push each other and laugh.
+
+Soon, they see a man with a big box. He walks to the pole with the sign. He looks around and sees Tom and Sue. He smiles and waves. "Are you the ones who ordered pizza?" he asks.
+
+Tom and Sue jump off the swings and run to the man. They nod and say yes. The man opens the box and shows them the pizza. It smells good and looks yummy. Tom and Sue clap and say thank you. The man gives them the pizza and takes the toy money. He tells them to enjoy and leaves.
+
+Tom and Sue sit on the grass and eat the pizza. They share and trade slices. They are happy and full. They think ordering pizza is fun. They hug and say they are the best friends. They finish the pizza and throw the box in the trash. They go back to the swings and play some more. They have a great day in the park.
+Tom and Lily wanted to go to the park. They put on their coats and hats and gloves. It was very cold outside. The air was icy and made their noses red.
+
+They walked on the path to the park. The path was white and crunchy. It was snow. Tom and Lily liked snow. They made footprints and snowballs and snowmen.
+
+But when they got to the park, they saw something strange. There was a big fire in the middle of the park. It was orange and yellow and red. It was burning the grass and the trees and the swings. It made a lot of smoke and noise.
+
+"Who made the fire?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "But it is bad. It is hurting the park. We should tell someone."
+
+They looked around and saw a man with a hose. He was trying to put out the fire. He was a firefighter. He wore a helmet and a jacket and boots.
+
+"Hello, kids," the firefighter said. "Are you OK?"
+
+"Yes, we are OK," Tom said. "But the park is not OK. Why is there a fire?"
+
+"Someone was naughty and left a barbecue on. It started the fire. But don't worry, we will stop it soon. You should go home now. It is not safe here."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "Thank you for saving the park."
+
+"You're welcome," the firefighter said. "Be careful on the path. It is icy and slippery."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said goodbye. They walked back on the path to their home. They were sad about the fire, but glad that the firefighter was there. They hoped that the park would be OK soon. They wanted to play there again.
+Lila was a little bird who liked to clean her nest. She used her beak and her wings to pick up the sticks and the leaves and the feathers. She wanted her nest to be cozy and neat. She was proud of her nest.
+
+One day, she heard a loud noise. She looked up and saw a big cat. The cat was climbing the tree where her nest was. The cat had sharp teeth and claws. Lila was scared. She flew away from her nest and hid behind a branch.
+
+"Hello, little bird," the cat said. "What a nice nest you have. Can I come and see it?"
+
+"No, no, no," Lila said. "This is my nest. You are not welcome. Go away, go away!"
+
+The cat laughed. "Don't be silly, little bird. I just want to be your friend. Let me come and play with you."
+
+The cat reached for the nest with his paw. But he did not know that Lila had a trick. She had cleaned her nest so well that she had found a shiny thing. It was a bell. She had hidden the bell under a feather. She waited for the right moment and then she shook the feather. The bell made a loud ring.
+
+The cat was startled. He did not like the noise. He let go of the nest and fell to the ground. He ran away, hissing and spitting.
+
+Lila flew back to her nest. She was happy. She had saved her nest. She had used her cleaning skill to make a trap. She cuddled with her feather and her bell. She felt safe. She sang a song.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hole in the roof of an old house. They wanted to see what was inside, so they climbed a ladder and peeked through the hole.
+
+"Wow, look at all the stuff!" Tom said. He saw books, toys, clothes and more. "Can we go in and play?"
+
+Lily was anxious. She thought the house was scary and dangerous. "No, Tom, we can't. This is not our house. Someone else lives here. We should go back."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He jumped through the hole and landed on the floor. He started to pick up things and look at them. "This is fun! Come on, Lily, don't be afraid!"
+
+Lily did not want to go in, but she did not want to leave Tom alone. She followed him through the hole and tried to stay close to him. She hoped no one would see them or hear them.
+
+They did not know that the old house belonged to Mr. Brown, a grumpy man who did not like children. He was out for a walk, but he came back soon. He heard noises from his house and went to check. He saw the ladder and the hole in his roof. He was angry. He climbed the ladder and shouted.
+
+"Hey, you! What are you doing in my house? Get out of here, or I will call the police!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped everything and ran to the hole. They tried to climb the ladder, but Mr. Brown grabbed them by their collars. He pulled them back and glared at them.
+
+"You are bad children! You broke my roof and stole my things! How dare you!"
+
+Tom and Lily cried. They said they were sorry. They said they just wanted to play. They said they did not take anything. They begged Mr. Brown to let them go.
+
+Mr. Brown was still angry, but he saw that they were telling the truth. He saw that they did not have anything in their pockets or hands. He sighed and let them go.
+
+"Go on, get out of here. And don't come back. And don't touch my stuff again. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They climbed the ladder and ran away. They were glad to be free, but they felt ashamed. They learned a lesson. They should not go into other people's houses. They should not touch other people's things. They should not lend trouble. They should be good friends.
+Lila was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Rosie. Rosie had a pink dress, curly hair and a big smile. Lila and Rosie did everything together. They had tea parties, read books and sang songs.
+
+One evening, Lila's mom said she had to go to work. She was a nurse and she helped sick people. Lila was sad. She did not like it when her mom was away. She felt lonely.
+
+"Can I take Rosie with me to bed?" Lila asked her mom.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. Rosie will keep you company. And I will be back soon, I promise." Mom said. She gave Lila a hug and a kiss.
+
+Lila took Rosie to her room. She put on her pajamas and brushed her teeth. She climbed into her bed and hugged Rosie.
+
+"Rosie, I miss mom. Do you miss her too?" Lila whispered.
+
+Rosie did not answer. She was a doll. But Lila pretended that Rosie nodded.
+
+"Mom will come back, right?" Lila asked.
+
+Rosie did not answer. But Lila pretended that Rosie smiled.
+
+"Yes, she will. She loves us very much. And we love her too." Lila said.
+
+Lila closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She felt Rosie's soft dress and hair. She heard Rosie's quiet breath. She smelled Rosie's sweet scent.
+
+Rosie reminded Lila of mom. She made Lila feel less lonely. She was Lila's best friend.
+Sara and Anna are sisters. They like to play with their dolls and dress them up. One day, they find a big box in the attic. Inside the box, there are many old clothes and hats and shoes. Sara and Anna are very happy. They want to try them on.
+

+
+They hear their mom calling them for lunch. They do not want to stop playing. They whisper to each other.
+
+"Let's hide in the box," Sara whispers. "Mom will not find us here."
+
+"OK," Anna whispers. "But we have to be very quiet."
+
+They climb into the box and pull the lid over them. They giggle and hug their dolls. They think they are very clever.
+
+But their mom knows where they are. She hears their giggles and sees the box moving. She smiles and walks to the attic. She opens the box and sees their faces.
+
+"Hello, my little princess and fairy," she says. "Are you hungry?"
+
+Sara and Anna look at their mom. They feel a little silly. They nod and smile.
+
+"Yes, mom," they say. "We are hungry."
+
+They take off the old clothes and put them back in the box. They follow their mom to the kitchen. They tell her about their game. They eat their lunch and say thank you. They love their mom. They love their game. They love their gray dress and red dress.

+
+One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Max. He is chubby and mean. He wants to play basketball too. But he does not want to share. He takes the ball from Tim and Ben. He says it is his ball now. He laughs at them.
+
+Tim and Ben are angry. They want their ball back. They try to get it from Max. They fight with him. They push and pull and shout. Max is stronger and bigger. He pushes Tim and Ben to the ground. He kicks the ball away. He runs away with it.

+
+One day, Sara's mom baked some cookies for her. They smelled so good and looked so yummy. Sara wanted to eat one right away, but her mom said she had to wait until after dinner. Sara nodded and went to play with her doll.
+
+But Sara could not stop thinking about the cookies. She was very hungry and curious. She wondered how they tasted. She decided to sneak into the kitchen and take one when her mom was not looking. She tiptoed to the counter and reached for a cookie.
+
+But as soon as she touched it, she felt something rough and sharp. It was not a cookie, it was a grater. Sara screamed and dropped it. She had cut her finger and it hurt a lot. Her mom heard her and ran to see what happened. She saw the blood and the grater and the cookie.
+
+She hugged Sara and cleaned her wound. She said, "Sara, why did you do that? You know you are not supposed to touch the grater. It is very dangerous. And you are not supposed to take a cookie before dinner. That is not nice."
+
+Sara felt very sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was very bad. I wanted a cookie so much. I did not listen to you. I did not pray to God to help me be good."
+
+Her mom said, "It's okay, Sara. I forgive you. But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to obey me and trust me. And you have to pray to God to give you strength and patience. He loves you and wants you to be happy."
+
+Sara said, "I love you, mom. And I love God. I will pray to him every night and every day. And I will wait for the cookie until after dinner."

+Her mom smiled and kissed her. She said, "That's my good girl. Now let's go and put a band-aid on your finger. And then we can have dinner and a cookie together."
+Lily was a frog who liked to sit on a big rock in the swamp. She liked to look at the water and the trees and the bugs. She was very popular with the other frogs, who wanted to sit with her and talk to her. She was happy and proud.
+
+One day, a new frog came to the swamp. His name was Rex and he was big and loud. He saw Lily on the rock and he wanted to sit there too. He said, "Move, Lily, this is my rock now. You are too small and boring. I am big and fun." He pushed Lily off the rock and made her fall in the water. He laughed and sat on the rock.
+
+Lily was sad and wet. She swam to the shore and looked for her friends. But they were all afraid of Rex and did not want to help her. They said, "Sorry, Lily, but Rex is stronger and cooler than you. We want to sit with him and be his friends. You can go away." They left Lily alone and went to the rock.
+
+Lily felt very lonely and hurt. She did not know what to do. She wished she had a friend who liked her for who she was. She walked away from the swamp and looked for a new home. She hoped she would find one soon. But she did not. She wandered for a long time and got tired and hungry and cold. She never found a new home or a new friend. She died alone in the woods. The end.
+Lily and Ben went to the shop with Mom. They saw a big white bear on a shelf. Lily and Ben wanted the bear very much. They asked Mom to buy it for them.
+
+Mom looked at the price tag. It was very high. Mom said no, they could not have the bear. It was too much money. Lily and Ben were sad. They cried and begged Mom to change her mind.
+
+Mom said they could have a small toy instead. She showed them some cars and dolls and books. But Lily and Ben did not want them. They only wanted the white bear. They said no to everything Mom offered.
+
+Mom was angry. She said they were being naughty and ungrateful. She said they had to leave the shop now. She took their hands and pulled them out of the door.
+
+Lily and Ben saw the white bear looking at them from the shelf. They waved goodbye to the bear. The bear nodded back. It was happy. It knew that no one would ever buy it. It liked being alone on the shelf. It did not want to go home with Lily and Ben. It did not like them at all.

+
+Tom said, "I am playing with my soldiers. They are marching to the castle. They are brave and strong. Do you want to play with me?"

+Anna said, "No, thank you. I don't like soldiers. They are loud and mean. I like dolls. They are quiet and nice. I want to play with my dolls."

+
+Tom and Anna started to argue. They raised their voices. They did not listen to each other.
+
+Their mother heard them from the kitchen. She came to their room and saw them. She said, "Stop, stop, stop! What is going on here? Why are you fighting? It is too early for that. You should be nice to each other."
+
+Tom and Anna looked at their mother. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing with our toys. But we like different things. We don't agree."
+
+Their mother said, "It is okay to like different things. You don't have to agree on everything. But you have to respect each other. You have to share and take turns. You have to use your words and not your shouts. You have to be kind and gentle. You are brother and sister. You are family."
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They said, "You are right, mom. We are family. We love each other. We will try to be better."
+
+Their mother smiled. She said, "That's good. Now, why don't you play together? You can mix your toys. You can make a story. You can have fun."

+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can buy some corn. You are a good girl for asking nicely." She picked four ears of corn and put them in a bag. She paid the man at the stall. She gave Lily one ear of corn to hold.

+
+She showed her mother her drawings. There were many drawings of flowers, stars, animals and people. There was also a drawing of Lily and her mother, holding hands and smiling. Lily said, "This is us, mother. We are happy and healthy. I love you, mother."

+Sara liked to play in the garden with her doll. She had a purple dress and a purple hat for her doll. She liked to pretend that her doll was a princess and she was her friend.
+
+One day, Sara saw a big bush with many flowers. The flowers were purple too. Sara thought they were very pretty. She wanted to pick some for her doll. She ran to the bush and reached for a flower.
+
+But the bush had thorns. Sara felt a sharp pain in her hand. She cried out and dropped her doll. She ran back to her mom, who was sitting on a bench. She showed her mom her hand. It had a small cut and a drop of blood.
+
+Mom hugged Sara and said, "Oh, you poor thing. You hurt yourself on the bush. Let me see." She took a tissue and wiped Sara's hand. She put a band-aid on the cut and kissed it. She said, "There, that's better. You'll be fine. You have to be careful with bushes. Some of them have thorns that can prick you."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to get a flower for my doll. She likes purple." Mom smiled and said, "That's very sweet of you, Sara. You care a lot about your doll. But you don't have to pick flowers for her. You can just look at them and enjoy them. They are beautiful in the bush. And so are you and your doll."
+
+Mom took Sara's hand and walked with her to the bush. She picked up Sara's doll and dusted her off. She said, "Look, your doll is fine. She didn't get hurt. She still has her purple dress and hat. And she still has you. You are her best friend. And I'm your best friend too. I love you, Sara."
+
+Sara hugged her mom and her doll. She said, "I love you too, mom. And I love my doll. And I love the purple flowers. But I won't touch them anymore. I'll just look at them and smile." Mom nodded and said, "That's a good idea, Sara. Let's do that. Let's look at the flowers and smile." And they did.

+
+She goes near the lizard and says, "Hello, lizard. Do you want to be my friend?" The lizard does not move. Lily thinks the lizard is shy. She says, "Don't be scared. I am nice. I have a ball. Do you want to play with me?" The lizard still does not move. Lily thinks the lizard is deaf.
+
+She picks up the lizard and puts it on her shoulder. She says, "Come on, lizard. I will show you my toys. You can play with them." The lizard does not like this. It wriggles and scratches. Lily feels the lizard's claws. She says, "Ow, lizard. That hurts. Why are you mean to me?" The lizard jumps off her shoulder and runs away.
+
+Lily is sad. She thinks the lizard does not like her. She says, "Bye, lizard. I hope you find a friend." She goes back to her ball. She thinks maybe the lizard likes rocks more than toys. She thinks maybe she can find another friend in the garden. She thinks maybe a butterfly or a snail. She smiles and plays with her ball. She likes to play in the garden.
+Anna loves to sing. She sings every day. She sings when she wakes up, when she plays, when she eats, and when she goes to bed. She sings songs that she knows and songs that she makes up. She sings with her voice and with her toys. She sings with music.

And now I give it to you. It is a family treasure. It plays her favorite song." Anna says, "Wow, really? That is so cool. Can you tell me more about grandma and her song?" Mom says, "Of course. Come, let's sit and listen to the music box together. And I will tell you a story." Anna and mom sit on the bed and cuddle. They listen to the music box and sing. They feel calm and happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toy helicopter. They liked to make it fly in the air and make loud noises. They pretended they were pilots and went on adventures.
+
+But then a big dog came and saw their helicopter. The dog wanted to play too, but he did not know how to play nicely. He ran towards the helicopter and grabbed it with his teeth. He started to chew it and break it.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Tom shouted. "That's our helicopter! You are a bad dog!"
+
+Lily cried and ran to get their mom. She told her what happened and pointed at the dog. Mom was angry and scared the dog away. She picked up the broken helicopter and hugged Tom and Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. The dog was very naughty and ruined your toy. He should not chew things that are not his. Are you okay?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded, but they were still sad. They loved their helicopter and now it was gone. Mom tried to cheer them up.
+
+"Don't worry, we can get you a new helicopter. Maybe even a bigger and better one. How about we go to the toy store and see what they have?"
+
+Tom and Lily smiled a little. They liked the idea of going to the toy store. Maybe they could find a new helicopter that the dog could not chew. They thanked their mom and followed her to the car. They hoped they would have more fun and less trouble with their new toy.
+Ben and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But Ben's favorite animal was the hippo. He liked how big and round it was, and how it splashed in the water.
+
+"Can we go see the hippo again?" Ben asked Mom.
+
+"OK, but only for a little while. We have to go home soon," Mom said.
+
+They walked back to the hippo pond, where an old hippo was resting on the shore. Ben ran up to the fence and looked at the hippo. He wanted to examine it closely.
+
+"Wow, look at his teeth! They are so big and sharp!" Ben said.
+
+"Be careful, Ben. Don't get too close to the fence. The hippo might bite you," Lily warned.
+
+"No, he won't. He is my friend. Right, hippo?" Ben said, and reached out his hand to touch the hippo's nose.
+
+The hippo opened his eyes and saw Ben's hand. He did not like it. He snorted and snapped his jaws at Ben, making a loud noise.
+
+"Ahh! Help!" Ben screamed, and pulled back his hand. He was scared and hurt. He had a small cut on his finger.
+
+Mom and Dad ran to Ben and hugged him. They checked his finger and put a band-aid on it.
+
+"Are you OK, Ben?" Mom asked.
+
+"I'm OK, Mom. But the hippo is mean. He bit me," Ben said, and started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. The hippo was probably scared too. He is old and tired, and he doesn't like strangers. You should never touch an animal without permission," Dad said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Dad. I won't do it again. I don't like the hippo anymore," Ben said.
+
+"Come on, let's go get some ice cream. That will make you feel better," Mom said.
+
+They left the hippo pond and went to the ice cream stand. Ben chose chocolate, and Lily chose vanilla. They licked their ice cream and smiled. They still liked the zoo, but they learned to be careful with the animals.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She saw many flowers and bugs. She saw a bee on a yellow flower. She wanted to say hello to the bee.
+
+"Hello, bee," Lily said. "You are very pretty. Can I touch you?"
+
+The bee buzzed and flew away. Lily followed the bee. She saw the bee land on another flower. She tried to talk to the bee again.
+
+"Hello, bee," Lily said. "You are very fast. Can I be your friend?"
+
+The bee buzzed and flew away again. Lily was sad. She wanted to play with the bee. She saw the bee go inside a hole in a tree. She ran to the tree.
+
+"Hello, bee," Lily said. "You are very smart. Can I see your home?"
+
+The bee did not buzz or fly away. Lily heard a loud voice from the hole.
+
+"Go away, little girl," the voice said. "This is my home. You are not polite. You bother me and my friends. Leave us alone."
+
+Lily was scared. She did not know the voice was the bee. She thought the bee was nice. She ran away from the tree. She looked for the bee, but she could not find it. The bee had disappeared. Lily felt sorry. She wished she had been more polite to the bee.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have a yellow duck, a blue boat and a red tap. The tap makes water come out. Sara and Ben can fill the duck and the boat with water and make them float.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben are playing in the bath. Sara has the duck and Ben has the boat. Sara wants the boat too. She tries to grab it from Ben. Ben does not want to give it to Sara. He holds it tight. Sara and Ben pull the boat. The boat breaks. Water spills everywhere.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They look at the broken boat. They start to cry. They scream very loud. "Mommy! Mommy! The boat is broken!"
+
+Mommy hears them. She runs to the bathroom. She sees the water and the broken boat. She sees Sara and Ben crying and screaming. She is not happy. She says, "What happened here? Why are you screaming? Why did you break the boat?"
+
+Sara and Ben stop crying. They look at Mommy. They are scared. They say, "We are sorry, Mommy. We wanted the boat. We pulled it. It broke. We did not mean to break it."
+
+Mommy sighs. She is not angry. She is mild. She says, "It's okay, Sara and Ben. I know you did not mean to break it. But you should not scream and fight over toys. You should share and take turns. Can you do that?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mommy. We can do that. We are sorry. We love you."
+
+Mommy smiles. She says, "I love you too, Sara and Ben. Now, let's dry you off and clean up this mess. And maybe we can get a new boat later."
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big ball, a small bike and a yellow bucket. They enjoy running, kicking and riding.
+
+One day, it rains a lot. The garden is wet and muddy. Tom and Mia put on their boots and coats. They want to have fun in the rain. They splash in the puddles, make mud pies and throw wet leaves.
+
+They see a drain near the fence. The drain is round and has holes. The water goes down the drain. Tom and Mia are curious. They want to see what is in the drain. They go closer and look inside.
+
+They see a frog. The frog is green and slimy. It has big eyes and long legs. It croaks and jumps. Tom and Mia are surprised and happy. They like the frog. They think it is cute and funny.
+
+They try to catch the frog. They use their hands, their bucket and their ball. But the frog is tough. It is fast and smart. It dodges and hides. It escapes from their grasp. Tom and Mia laugh and chase. They have a lot of fun with the frog. They forget about the rain and the mud. They only see the frog and the drain.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their dad's old leather boots. They are big and brown and make funny noises when they walk. One day, they find a puddle in the yard and have a new idea. They want to soak the boots in the water and see what happens.
+
+They take the boots and put them in the puddle. They splash and laugh and push the boots deeper into the water. They think it is fun and weird to see the boots get wet and soft. They do not hear their dad coming home from work.
+
+Their dad sees the boots in the puddle and gets very angry. He yells at Sara and Ben and tells them they are naughty and careless. He says the boots are ruined and he cannot wear them anymore. He takes the boots and throws them in the trash. He sends Sara and Ben to their room without dinner.
+
+Sara and Ben feel sad and sorry. They did not mean to make their dad mad. They did not know the boots were important. They wish they had not played with the boots. They cry and hug each other and hope their dad will forgive them.
+Tim and Mia like to play in the woods. They find a big log that is good for hiding and climbing. Tim says, "Let's pretend this is our house. We can make a door and a window." Mia nods and smiles.
+
+They use sticks and leaves to make a door and a window on the log. They crawl inside and pretend to cook and sleep. They have fun and laugh. They do not see a big snake that is sleeping on the other side of the log.
+
+The snake wakes up and hears the noise. It is angry and hungry. It slithers around the log and sees the door and the window. It smells Tim and Mia inside. It thinks, "This is my log. I will eat them."
+
+The snake pushes its head through the window. Tim and Mia scream and run to the door. But the door is too small. They cannot fit. They are stuck. They are scared.
+
+Tim sees a big stick near the door. He grabs it and points it at the snake. He says, "Go away, snake. This is our house. You cannot eat us." He pokes the snake with the stick. The snake hisses and bites the stick. It is hurt and angry.
+
+Mia sees a hole in the log. She says, "Tim, look. There is another way out. We can fit." She pulls Tim and they crawl through the hole. They run away from the log and the snake. They are safe and happy.
+
+They find their mom and dad and tell them what happened. Their mom and dad hug them and say, "You are brave and smart. We are proud of you. But do not play near the log again. It is dangerous." Tim and Mia nod and say, "OK. We will find another place to play." They go home and have a snack. They do not go back to the log.
+Sara likes to seat on the big chair in the living room. She likes to look at the books and the toys on the shelf. She likes to pretend she is a teacher or a doctor or a princess.
+
+But this week, Sara cannot seat on the big chair. Her mom says there is a weird bug in the house. The bug makes people sick and cough and sneeze. Sara has to stay in her room and play with her dolls and her blocks. She cannot see her friends or her grandma or her teacher.
+
+Sara is sad and bored. She misses the big chair and the books and the toys. She misses the outside and the park and the swings. She wonders when the weird bug will go away and when she can seat on the big chair again.
+
+One day, her mom comes to her room with a big smile. She says the weird bug is gone and Sara can seat on the big chair again. She says Sara can see her friends and her grandma and her teacher again. She says Sara can go to the outside and the park and the swings again.
+
+Sara is happy and excited. She hugs her mom and runs to the living room. She seats on the big chair and looks at the books and the toys. She pretends she is a teacher or a doctor or a princess.

She says she hates the weird bug and hopes it never comes back.
+Lily liked to watch the big parade on TV. She saw many people with flags and drums and hats. She wanted to be in the parade too. She asked her mom if she could go outside and play with her flag.
+
+Mom said no. She said it was too cold and too far. She said Lily had to stay inside and be quiet. Lily was sad and angry. She did not want to be quiet. She wanted to be famous.
+
+She took her flag and ran to her room. She opened the window and waved her flag. She shouted, "Look at me! Look at me! I am in the parade!" She did not see the car that was coming fast. She did not hear the horn that was honking loud. She only felt the shake when the car hit the wall.
+
+Mom heard the crash and the scream. She ran to Lily's room. She saw the broken window and the blood. She saw Lily's flag on the floor. She cried and cried. She wished she had said yes. She wished she had gone with Lily to the parade.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. Lily had a doll and Ben had a plane. Ben liked to make his plane fly in the air and make zooming noises. Lily liked to examine her doll's hair and clothes and pretend she was a doctor.
+
+"Can I see your plane, Ben?" Lily asked politely. She wanted to examine the plane too and see how it worked.
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can see my plane. But be careful, it is very fast and shiny," Ben said. He handed his plane to Lily and watched her look at it.
+
+Lily held the plane in her hands and examined it. She saw the wings, the tail, the propeller, and the cockpit. She saw the pilot inside the plane and waved at him. She liked the plane. It was very cool and smooth.
+
+"Wow, Ben, your plane is amazing. How do you make it fly?" Lily asked.
+
+"I use my hand and my imagination. I pretend the plane is in the sky and I move it around. Do you want to try?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, please, Ben. That sounds fun," Lily said. She gave the plane back to Ben and he showed her how to fly it. They took turns flying the plane and making noises. They had a lot of fun playing with the plane. They were very polite and shared their toys.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see a big pile of hay. They want to jump on it.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's jump on the hay!" Tom says.
+
+"OK, Tom, that sounds fun!" Lily says.
+
+They run to the hay and jump on it. They laugh and roll and make hay angels. They are very happy.
+
+But then they hear a loud noise. It is the farmer. He is angry. He has a white hat and a white beard. He does not like children on his hay.
+
+"Hey, you two, get off my hay! You are making a mess!" he shouts.
+
+Lily and Tom are scared. They do not want to make the farmer mad. They jump off the hay and run away.
+
+"Sorry, mister, we did not mean to make a mess!" Tom says.
+
+"Please do not be mad at us!" Lily says.
+
+They leave the farm and go back to their homes. They are still friends. They decide to play somewhere else next time. They do not want to jump on the hay again.
+Lily and Tom were very hungry. They wanted to eat breakfast. Mom said, "I have a surprise for you. Look in the fridge."
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the fridge. They opened the door. They saw a big basket. The basket had many eggs. The eggs had different colors. Some were red, some were blue, some were yellow.
+
+"What are these?" Lily asked.
+
+"They are Easter eggs," Mom said. "You can open them and find a toy inside."
+
+Lily and Tom were very happy. They took the basket to the table. They picked an egg each. They tried to open them. But the eggs were hard. They could not break them.
+
+"Mom, how do we open them?" Tom asked.
+
+"You have to yawn first," Mom said. "Yawning makes the eggs soft."
+
+Lily and Tom looked at Mom. They thought she was joking. But they yawned anyway. They yawned big and loud. They felt sleepy.
+
+Then they heard a crack. They looked at their eggs. The eggs were open. They saw a toy inside. Lily had a doll. Tom had a car.
+
+"Wow, thank you, Mom!" Lily and Tom said. They played with their toys. They forgot they were hungry. They forgot they were sleepy. They had fun.
+Sam and Lily were twins who liked to observe things. They observed birds and bugs and flowers in the garden. They observed cars and bikes and people on the street. They observed books and toys and pictures in their room.
+
+One day, they observed something new in the kitchen. It was a big glass bottle with a red liquid inside. It had a funny word on it: wine. They wondered what it was and how it tasted. They observed that their mom and dad sometimes drank wine with their dinner. They observed that wine made them happy and sleepy.
+
+They decided to be clever and try some wine when their mom and dad were not looking. They waited until they went to the living room to watch TV. Then they sneaked into the kitchen and grabbed the bottle. They opened it and poured some wine into two cups. They smelled it and made faces. It did not smell like juice or milk. They tasted it and made more faces. It did not taste like juice or milk either. It was sour and bitter and made their tongues tingle.
+
+They did not like wine at all. They spit it out and threw the cups in the sink. They ran back to their room and hid under the covers. They felt sick and dizzy and sorry. They observed that wine was not for them. They observed that they had made a big mistake. They observed that their mom and dad would be very angry when they found out. They wished they had not been so clever. They wished they had observed something else.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to grab things. She grabbed toys from her friends, books from her teacher, and snacks from her mom. She did not like to share or say sorry. She thought grabbing was fun and made her happy.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big person playing with a ball. The ball was shiny and bouncy and Lily wanted it. She ran to the person and grabbed the ball from his hand. She laughed and ran away with the ball.
+
+But the person was not happy. He was angry and sad. He chased Lily and shouted, "Give me back my ball! That is not nice!" Lily was scared and tried to run faster. But she tripped and fell. The ball rolled away and the person grabbed it back.
+
+Lily cried and hurt her knee. Her mom came and hugged her. She said, "Lily, why did you grab the ball from that person? That was rude and mean. How would you feel if someone grabbed your things?" Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I feel bad, mom. I was eager to play with the ball, but I did not ask or wait. I was selfish and greedy. I am sorry, mom."
+
+Lily's mom said, "It is good that you are sorry, Lily. But you also need to say sorry to the person. And you need to learn to be kind and respectful. Grabbing is not fun or nice. Sharing and asking are better." Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She walked to the person and said, "I am sorry, person. I was wrong to grab your ball. Can I play with you?" The person smiled and said, "Sure, you can play with me. But you have to share and take turns. That is fair and fun." Lily agreed and thanked him. She played with the ball and the person. She learned her lesson and did not grab anymore. She was happier and made a new friend.
+Lily liked to play in the garden with her dog, Max. They ran and jumped and chased each other. Sometimes they saw other animals, like birds and bugs and frogs. Lily liked to watch them and learn their names.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new bug. It was brown and had long legs and wings. It made a loud noise that sounded like a rattle. Lily was curious and wanted to touch it. She reached out her hand, but Max barked and pulled her back.
+
+"No, Lily, no!" Max said. "That is a cricket. It can bite you and make you hurt. You have to be careful with crickets. They are not regular bugs. They are different and scary."
+
+Lily was surprised and scared. She did not understand why the cricket was different and scary. She wanted to know more about it. She asked Max, "Why is the cricket different and scary? What does it do? How does it make that noise?"
+
+Max tried to explain to Lily, but he did not know much about crickets. He only knew that they were not regular bugs and that they could bite. He said, "The cricket is different and scary because it has big teeth and sharp claws. It can bite you and make you bleed. It makes that noise by rubbing its wings together. It is a way of talking to other crickets. But we cannot understand what they say. They have a different language."
+
+Lily listened to Max and nodded. She understood that the cricket was different and scary and that she had to be careful with it. She decided not to touch it, but to watch it from a distance. She wondered what the cricket was saying and if it had any friends. She thought that maybe the cricket was lonely and scared too. She felt sorry for the cricket and wished it could be happy. She said to Max, "Thank you for telling me about the cricket, Max. You are a good friend. I will not touch the cricket, but I will be nice to it. Maybe it will be nice to us too."

+But his mom was not happy. She saw his post. She was angry. She said, "Ben, what did you do? You painted your post! That is not good. You can't paint your post. You have to clean it now."
+
+Ben was sad. He did not understand. He said, "But mom, I wanted to make it different. I wanted to make it pretty. I like my post."
+
+His mom sighed. She said, "I know, Ben. But your post is not for painting. Your post is for letters. If you paint your post, the mailman will not see it. He will not bring you letters. Do you want letters?"
+
+Ben nodded. He loved letters. He said, "Yes, mom. I want letters."
+
+His mom said, "Then you have to clean your post. And next time, you can paint something else. Something that is not important. Like a cardboard box or a rock. OK?"
+
+Ben said, "OK, mom. I'm sorry. I will clean my post."
+
+He took a cloth and some water. He cleaned his post. He made it white again. He was sorry. He did not mean to make trouble.
+
+His mom hugged him. She said, "It's OK, Ben. I love you. And I love your paintings. But not on your post. Come on, let's go inside. Maybe you have a letter today."

+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was a queen doll. She dressed her in a shiny dress and a crown, and made her sit on a throne. Lily wanted to be like her queen doll, and have everything she wanted.
+
+One day, she saw a new doll in the store. It was a princess doll, with a pink dress and a necklace. Lily wanted the princess doll very much, but she did not have enough money. She asked her mom to buy it for her, but her mom said no. She said Lily already had enough dolls, and she should be happy with what she had.
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She thought her mom was mean and did not love her. She decided to take the princess doll without paying. She waited until no one was looking, and put the doll in her bag. Then she ran out of the store.
+
+When she got home, she hid the princess doll under her bed. She did not want anyone to see it. She thought she would be happy with her new doll, but she was not. She felt guilty and scared. She worried that someone would find out what she did, and she would get in trouble. She could not sleep at night, and she could not play with her dolls. She did not feel comfortable at all.
+
+One day, her mom found the princess doll under her bed. She asked Lily where she got it. Lily knew she could not lie, and she told her mom the truth. She said she was sorry, and she did not know why she did it. She said she wanted to be like her queen doll, and have everything she wanted.
+
+Her mom hugged her and said she was glad she was honest. She said she loved her no matter what, but she was disappointed in her. She said stealing was wrong, and she had to return the doll to the store. She said she had to apologize to the store owner, and do some chores to earn the money for the doll. She said she hoped Lily learned her lesson, and she would be more grateful for what she had.
+
+Lily nodded and said she understood. She felt bad for what she did, and she wanted to make it right. She took the princess doll back to the store, and said she was sorry. The store owner was kind and forgave her, but he said she had to pay for the doll. Lily gave him the money she earned from her chores, and thanked him.
+
+Lily went back home, and hugged her mom. She said she was sorry again, and she loved her. She said she did not need the princess doll, or any other doll.

She said she felt comfortable in her heart.
+
+Her mom smiled and said she was proud of her. She said she was a good girl, and she learned a valuable lesson. She said she could play with her queen doll, and have fun. She said she was her little queen, and she would always love her.

+
+At the hospital, a nice lady in a white coat looked at his head. She said he needed stitches. She gave him a shot to make him feel no pain. Ben did not like the shot. It was harsh and made him cry more. Mom and Dad held his hand and told him it was okay.

+Yesterday, Lila saw a big dog in the park. The dog had a wound on its leg and looked sad. Lila wanted to heal the dog and make it happy. She took out a band-aid from her box and walked slowly to the dog. She said, "Don't be scared, doggy. I will help you."
+
+But the dog was not friendly. It was angry and scared. It did not like strangers. It did not want Lila to touch it. It barked and growled and bit Lila's hand. Lila screamed and dropped the band-aid. She ran away, crying and bleeding.
+
+Lila's mom heard her scream and ran to her. She saw the dog and the band-aid and understood what happened. She hugged Lila and took her to the doctor. The doctor cleaned and stitched Lila's hand. He said she needed a shot to prevent infection. Lila hated shots. They hurt a lot.
+
+Lila was very sad and scared. She wished she never tried to heal the dog. She wished she still had her band-aid. She wished the dog was nice. She learned a hard lesson. Not all animals are friendly. Not all wounds can be healed with band-aids and kisses. Sometimes, healing hurts more than hurting.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big feather on the grass. It is white and soft.
+
+"Look, Ben, a feather!" Lily says. She picks it up and tickles Ben's nose.
+
+"Ha ha, Lily, that tickles!" Ben says. He sneezes and laughs.
+
+They run to the bench where their mom is. She is reading a book.
+
+"Mom, mom, look what we found!" Lily says. She shows her the feather.
+
+"That's a nice feather, Lily. Where did you find it?" Mom says.
+
+"In the park, mom. Maybe it is from a bird," Ben says.
+
+"Maybe it is, Ben. Do you want to hear a story about a bird?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, yes, mom, please!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+Mom puts down her book and picks up the feather. She holds it like a pen and pretends to read from the feather.
+
+"Once upon a time, there was a bird who had a very warm and cozy nest. He loved his nest very much. But one day, a strong wind blew and his nest fell down. He lost one of his feathers in the wind. He was very sad and cold. He flew around, looking for a new nest. He saw a big tree with many branches. He thought it would be a good place to make a new nest. But when he got there, he saw that the tree was already full of other birds. They were noisy and mean. They did not want to share their tree with him. They pecked at him and chased him away. He was very scared and lonely. He flew away, looking for another place to live. He saw a small house with a window. He thought it would be a warm and quiet place to rest. But when he got there, he saw that the window was closed. He tried to peck at it, but it was hard and shiny. He hurt his beak and his head. He was very tired and hungry. He flew away, looking for another place to stay. He saw a park with a lot of grass. He thought it would be a nice and green place to find some food. But when he got there, he saw that the park was full of people and dogs. They were loud and fast. They did not see him or care about him. They stepped on him and barked at him. He was very frightened and hurt. He flew away, looking for another place to go. He saw a bench with a lady. She was reading a book. She looked kind and calm. He thought it would be a safe and friendly place to sit. But when he got there, he saw that the lady had two children. They were playing with a feather. It was his feather. He recognized it. He felt a pang in his heart. He wanted his feather back. He flew to the bench and tried to get his feather. But the children saw him and screamed. They thought he was trying to hurt them. They waved their arms and scared him away. He was very sad and angry. He flew away, looking for another place to belong. He did not know where to go. He felt lost and alone. He wished he had his nest and his feather back. He wished he had a home."
+
+Mom stops reading and looks at Lily and Ben. They are quiet and sad. They feel sorry for the bird.
+
+"That's a sad story, mom," Lily says.
+
+"Is the bird going to be okay, mom?" Ben says.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She gives them the feather.
+
+"I don't know, my loves. Maybe the bird will find a new home. Maybe he will find his feather again. Maybe he will make some friends. Maybe he will be happy. But you know what? You can help him. You can keep his feather and remember him. You can be kind to the birds and the animals. You can share your things and your space. You can make the world a better place for everyone. You can be his home."
+
+Lily and Ben smile and hug mom. They feel warm and cozy. They hold the feather and think of the bird.
+
+"Thank you, mom. We love you. We love the bird. We will be his home," they say.
+
+Mom kisses them and picks up her book. She reads to them some more stories. They are happy and peaceful. They are a family.
+Lila is a girl who likes to speak to animals. She has a book with many pictures of animals. She likes to look at the book and say the names of the animals. One day, she sees a new animal in the book. It has long legs, a big tail and a pouch. The book says it is a kangaroo.
+
+Lila wants to speak to a kangaroo. She asks her mom if they can go to the zoo. Her mom says yes. They get in the car and drive to the zoo. Lila is very excited. She looks out the window and sees many things. She sees trees, houses, cars and people.
+
+At the zoo, Lila and her mom walk around and see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, elephants and birds. Lila speaks to them and says hello. She likes the animals, but she is looking for the kangaroo. She asks her mom where the kangaroo is. Her mom says they have to go to the other side of the zoo.
+
+They walk to the other side of the zoo and find the kangaroo enclosure. Lila sees a big kangaroo with a baby kangaroo in its pouch. She is very happy. She runs to the fence and says hello to the kangaroo. The kangaroo looks at her and hops closer. Lila speaks to the kangaroo and tells it her name. She asks the kangaroo what its name is. The kangaroo makes a noise that sounds like "roo-roo". Lila thinks that is its name. She says "roo-roo" back to the kangaroo. The kangaroo makes the noise again and nods its head. Lila and the kangaroo are speaking to each other.
+
+Lila is very glad. She has made a new friend. She tells the kangaroo that it is very nice and that she likes it. The kangaroo smiles and licks her hand. Lila laughs and hugs the kangaroo. Her mom takes a picture of them. Lila says goodbye to the kangaroo and thanks it for speaking to her. She says she will come back to see it again. The kangaroo says "roo-roo" and waves its paw. Lila and her mom leave the zoo. Lila is very happy. She has had a wonderful day. She can't wait to tell her dad and her friends about the kangaroo. She thinks the kangaroo is the best animal in the world.
+Ben was a bad man. He liked to steal things from other people. He stole food, toys, clothes and money. He did not care if he made other people sad or angry.
+
+One day, he saw a nice house with a big garden. He wanted to live there. He saw a man and a woman in the house. They were happy and loved each other. They were husband and wife. Ben wanted to steal the wife. He thought she was pretty and kind.
+
+He waited until the man went to work. Then he sneaked into the house. He saw the wife in the kitchen. She was making a cake. Ben grabbed her and put a cloth over her mouth. He dragged her to his car. He drove away fast.
+
+The wife was scared and sad. She tried to scream and kick. Ben did not listen. He was mean and dirty. He smelled bad and had stains on his clothes. He took the wife to his old hut. He locked her in a room. He said he would make her his wife.
+
+But the husband was smart and brave. He saw Ben's car outside his house. He saw the cake on the floor. He knew Ben had stolen his wife. He called the police. He followed Ben's car. He found the hut. He broke the door. He saw his wife in the room. He hugged her and freed her. He punched Ben in the face. He said he would never let him hurt his wife.
+
+The police came and arrested Ben. They took him to jail. He was sorry and ashamed. He learned that stealing was wrong. He wished he had been good and nice.
+
+The husband and wife went back to their house. They were happy and loved each other. They ate the cake. They thanked the police. They said they would never forget what Ben did. They said they would always be careful and safe.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the backyard with their bikes. They liked to race each other and see who was faster. Sara had a pink bike with a basket and Ben had a blue bike with a horn.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Sara shouted and they both pedaled as hard as they could. They zoomed past the flowers, the swing, and the tree. Sara was ahead of Ben and she smiled. She was going to win!
+
+But then, she heard a loud pop and felt her bike wobble. She looked down and saw that her tire was flat. She stopped and cried. "Oh no, my bike is broken! What will I do?"
+
+Ben heard her cry and stopped too. He rode back to her and saw her tire. He felt sorry for her. He knew how much she loved her bike. He got off his bike and hugged her.
+
+"Don't panic, Sara. It's okay. We can fix your tire. Daddy has a pump and a patch. He can help us. Come on, let's go find him." He said.
+
+Sara sniffed and nodded. She wiped her tears and smiled at Ben. He was a good brother. He always helped her when she was sad. She took his hand and they walked to the house, pushing their bikes.
+
+Daddy was in the garage, working on his car. He saw them coming and smiled. He noticed Sara's tire and frowned.
+
+"What happened, kids?" He asked.
+
+"Sara's tire popped. We were racing and then it went bang. She was very scared and sad." Ben explained.
