You deserve to play with nice friends." + +Lily feels better. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can I play with my blocks and dolls?" + +Her mom says, "Of course, Lily. You can play with whatever you want. You are a smart and kind girl." + +Lily smiles. She plays with her blocks and dolls. She forgets about Tom and his train. She has fun. +Lily liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a car, a ball and a book. But she wanted something else. She wanted a dragon. + +She asked her mom and dad for a dragon. They said no. Dragons are not real, they said. And they are too big and scary, they said. Lily was sad. + +But one day, it was her birthday. She had a cake, candles, balloons and friends. She was happy. She opened her presents. She got a hat, a puzzle, a teddy bear and a box. She opened the box. Inside was a dragon! + +It was not a real dragon. It was a toy dragon. But it was very nice.

They smiled and said you're welcome. They were glad she liked it. Lily played with Sparky all day. She was very happy. She had a dragon. +Lily loved to skip. She skipped in the park, she skipped in the garden, she skipped in the house. She liked to wear her pink dress when she skipped, because it made her feel happy and pretty. + +One day, she saw a fat cat in the park. The cat was black and white, and had a big belly. Lily wanted to pet the cat, because she liked animals. She skipped towards the cat, and said, "Hello, cat. Can I touch you?" + +The cat did not like Lily. The cat did not like anyone. The cat was grumpy and mean. The cat saw Lily skipping, and felt annoyed. The cat did not want to be touched. The cat hissed, and showed its sharp teeth. + +Lily was scared.

Ben is heavier than Jen. Jen is lighter than Ben. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, Mom comes in. She sees the scale on the floor. She is not happy. She says, "Ben and Jen, why did you take the scale out of the box? You know you are not supposed to play with it. It is not a toy. It is for grown-ups. Put it back in the box now." + +Ben and Jen are sad. They do not want to put the scale back in the box. They want to play with it more. They say, "But Mom, we like the scale. It is fun. Can we play with it a little longer?" + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you cannot. The scale is not for playing. It is for measuring. If you play with it too much, you might break it. Then we will not have a scale anymore. And that would be bad. You have to be wise and listen to Mom. Stay away from the scale and play with your other toys. They are safer and more fun." + +Ben and Jen are smart. They know Mom is right. They want to be wise and good. They say, "Okay, Mom. We are sorry. We will put the scale back in the box. We will stay away from it. We will play with our other toys." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben and Jen. You are good twins. I love you." She hugs them and kisses them.

We love you too." They pick their favorite toys and start to play. They have fun, but they are careful. They do not touch the scale anymore. They stay away from it. They are wise and good. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Lily saw a big yellow flower with a bee on it. She wanted to see it better. She kneeled down and moved closer. She was careful not to scare the bee. + +"Look, Ben, a bee!" she said. "It is making honey in the flower." + +Ben came over and kneeled next to her. He was curious too. He saw the bee's wings and legs. He saw how it moved from one part of the flower to another. He heard it buzz. + +"It is a charming bee," he said. "It is working hard and making something sweet." + +Lily nodded. She liked the bee too. She wanted to say hello to it. She reached out her hand and tapped the flower gently. She hoped the bee would not mind. + +"Hello, bee," she said. "We are Lily and Ben. We are your friends. Can we watch you for a while?" + +The bee looked at Lily and Ben. It saw their smiling faces and their gentle touch. It felt their friendship. It buzzed softly and nodded. It did not mind. It was happy to have visitors. + +Lily and Ben smiled back. They watched the bee for a while. They learned how it made honey. They thanked it for sharing its flower. They said goodbye and went to look for more bugs and flowers. They had a fun day in the garden. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the big room with many toys. One day, they find a new toy. It is a tall tower with many blocks. They want to build the tower on the rug. + +"Let's seat on the rug and build the tower," Lily says. + +"OK, I will get the blocks," Ben says. + +They seat on the rug and start to build the tower. They put one block on top of another. The tower gets taller and taller. They are happy. + +"Look, our tower is so tall!" Lily says. + +"Yes, it is. It is taller than me!" Ben says. + +They laugh and clap their hands. They are proud of their tower. + +But then, a big noise makes them jump. It is the door. Mom comes in with a bag. + +"Hello, Lily and Ben. I have a surprise for you," Mom says. + +She puts the bag on the floor and opens it. She takes out two books. + +"These are books for you. They have stories and pictures. Do you want to read them with me?" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben look at the books. They look nice. They like stories and pictures. + +"Yes, please, Mom. We want to read them with you," Lily and Ben say. + +They leave the tower on the rug and run to Mom. They hug her and take the books. + +"Thank you, Mom. You are the best," Lily and Ben say. + +Mom smiles and hugs them back. She seats on the sofa and puts them on her lap. She opens the books and starts to read. They listen and look. They are happy. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play pretend. They make passports from paper and crayons. They say they are going to fly to different places. + +"Where do you want to go, Lily?" Sam asks. + +"I want to go to the zoo. I want to see the lions and the monkeys," Lily says. + +"OK, let me see your passport," Sam says. He pretends to be a guard. He looks at Lily's passport. He shakes his head. "No, no, no. This passport is not good. You need a stamp." + +Lily is sad. She does not have a stamp. She does not know how to make one. She thinks Sam is being mean. She does not want to play with him anymore. + +"Please, Sam, let me go to the zoo. I made my passport with love," Lily says. + +Sam sees that Lily is sad. He feels sorry. He does not want to make her cry. He is playful, not mean. He has an idea. + +"OK, Lily, I will let you go to the zoo. But first, you need to give me a hug. That is the stamp," Sam says. + +Lily smiles. She gives Sam a hug. Sam hugs her back. He stamps her passport with a kiss. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend," Lily says. + +"You are welcome, Lily. You are a good friend, too," Sam says. + +They hold hands and pretend to fly to the zoo. They have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Sue like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is the band. The band is a box with many things that make noise. There are drums, bells, horns, and shakers. Tom and Sue like to make music with the band. + +One day, they want to play with the band, but their mom says no. She says they have to clean their room first. Tom and Sue do not want to clean their room. They want to play with the band. They try to resist. They say, "Please, mom, can we play with the band? Just for a little bit?" + +Mom says, "No, you have to clean your room first. If you clean your room, then you can play with the band. But if you don't, I will take the band away." + +Tom and Sue are sad. They do not want to lose the band. They decide to clean their room. They put their toys in the toy box, their clothes in the closet, and their books on the shelf. They work hard and fast. + +When they are done, they show their mom. Mom is happy.

Tom and Lily had to stay inside their houses. + +Tom was bored. He wanted to play with Lily. He called her on the phone. "Lily, can you come to my house?" he asked. + +"No, Tom, I can't. The hurricane is too dangerous. We have to stay inside," Lily said. + +"But I miss you. I have a new toy. It is very interesting. It can make sounds and lights. You will like it," Tom said. + +"I miss you too, Tom. But we have to be safe. Maybe we can play tomorrow, when the storm is gone," Lily said. + +Tom was angry. He wanted to play now.

She said, "Tom, that is not nice. You hurt my feelings. I don't want to talk to you anymore." She hung up the phone. + +Tom felt sorry. He did not mean what he said. He was just bored and frustrated. He wanted to say sorry to Lily. He wanted to be friends again. He called her back. But she did not answer. He left a message. He said, "Lily, I am sorry. I was wrong. You are a good friend. You are fun. I like you a lot. Please forgive me." + +Lily heard the message. She felt happy. She knew Tom was sorry. She forgave him. She called him back. She said, "Tom, I forgive you.

They learned to forgive. +Tom and Lily are two dogs who like to play in the park. They have a ball that they throw and catch with their mouths. One day, they see a big cat sitting on a fence. The cat has a mean look and sharp claws. + +"Let's shoot the cat with our ball!" Tom says. He thinks it will be fun to scare the cat away. + +"No, Tom, that is not nice. The cat is not hurting us. We should leave it alone," Lily says. She thinks it is wrong to be mean to other animals. + +But Tom does not listen to Lily. He runs to the ball and picks it up with his mouth. He aims at the cat and shoots the ball with a loud woof. The ball flies in the air and hits the cat on the head. The cat hisses and jumps off the fence. It lands on Tom and scratches his face with its paws. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cries. He drops the ball and runs away. The cat chases him and scratches him some more. + +Lily runs after them and barks. She tries to help Tom and make the cat stop. The cat sees Lily and thinks she is another enemy. It turns around and scratches Lily too. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cries. She and Tom run away from the cat. They hide under a bench and lick their wounds. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong to shoot the cat. It was not fun. It was mean and stupid. I should have listened to you," Tom says. + +"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But next time, be nice to other animals. They have feelings too. And they can hurt you back," Lily says. + +They hug each other with their paws and learn their lesson. They decide to play with their ball in a different place, away from the cat. They are ready to be good dogs. +Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat pizza for lunch. Mom said they could help her make pizza in the kitchen. + +"First, we need to spread the sauce on the dough," Mom said. She gave Anna and Ben a big spoon each. "Be careful, don't spill it." + +Anna and Ben tried to spread the sauce, but it was hard. They made a mess on the table and on their clothes. Mom laughed and helped them clean up. + +"Next, we need to add the cheese and the toppings," Mom said. She gave Anna and Ben some cheese, pepperoni, and olives. "You can choose what you like." + +Anna and Ben liked different things. Anna put cheese and olives on her half of the pizza. Ben put cheese and pepperoni on his half of the pizza. They looked at each other's pizza and made faces. + +"Last, we need to bake the pizza in the oven," Mom said. She put the pizza on a tray and opened the oven.

Anna asked. + +"Yes, it's ready," Mom said. She took the pizza out of the oven and cut it into slices. "Let's eat!" + +Anna and Ben ran to the table. They grabbed their plates and forks. They looked at the pizza. It was high and cheesy and yummy. + +"Can I try your pizza, Anna?" Ben asked. + +"Can I try your pizza, Ben?" Anna asked. + +They nodded and swapped a slice. They tasted each other's pizza. They smiled and said, "Mmm, this is good!" + +Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. You did a great job helping me make pizza. You are my little chefs!" +Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat spaghetti for dinner. Mom cooked spaghetti in a big pot. She put sauce and cheese on top. It smelled good. + +"Can we help you, Mom?" Tom and Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can help me set the table. But be careful with the plates and forks. They are not toys," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily took the plates and forks from the cupboard. They walked to the table. But Tom was careless. He did not look where he was going. He bumped into Lily. The plates and forks fell on the floor. They made a loud noise. + +"Oh no! Look what you did, Tom!" Lily cried. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to," Tom said. + +Mom came to see what happened. She saw the mess on the floor. She was not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, you need to clean this up. You were not careful. You could have hurt yourselves or broken the plates and forks. Go get the broom and the dustpan," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They said sorry to Mom. They got the broom and the dustpan. They cleaned the floor. They picked up the plates and forks.

They have fun. + +Mom and Dad hear them again. They are not happy. They come to their room again. They say, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? You are not quiet. You are not sleeping. You are playing. This is not good. You have to go back to bed. Now." + +Lily and Ben say, "Sorry, Mom and Dad. We will try to be quiet. We will try to sleep.

They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They used a big box as their ship and a pillow as their map. + +"Ahoy, matey! I see an island ahead!" Ben said, pointing to the couch. "Let's go and dig for gold!" + +"Okay, captain!" Lily said, following him with the pillow. They climbed on the couch and started to look under the cushions. + +"Look, I found something!" Ben said, holding up a shiny object. It was an ashtray that their dad used to smoke. It had some black stuff inside. + +"What is that?" Lily asked, curious. + +"It's a treasure, of course!" Ben said. "It's a silver bowl with magic dust!" + +Lily frowned. She did not like the smell of the ashtray. She knew that smoking was bad and made people sick. + +"No, it's not!" she said. "It's a dirty thing that dad uses. It's not a treasure, it's trash!" + +Ben was angry. He wanted to keep the ashtray as his treasure. He thought it was cool and shiny. + +"Yes, it is!" he said. "It's mine and you can't have it!" + +He put the ashtray in his box and closed the lid. + +Lily was sad. She wanted to play with Ben, but he was being mean. She did not want to play with the ashtray. She wanted to find something else. + +"Fine!" she said. "I don't want to play with you anymore! I'll find my own treasure!" + +She took the pillow and walked away. She looked around the living room for something else to play with. + +She saw a book on the shelf. It had a picture of a princess on the cover. It looked pretty and bright. + +She reached for the book, but it was too high. She could not get it. + +She saw a chair next to the shelf. She had an idea. + +She dragged the chair to the shelf and climbed on it. She stretched her arm and grabbed the book. + +She smiled. She had found her treasure. + +She opened the book and looked at the pages. They had words and pictures. She could not read the words, but she liked the pictures. They were colorful and happy. + +She sat on the chair and started to look at the book. She forgot about Ben and the ashtray. + +She was happy. She had found her treasure. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, they decide to make a big network with the blocks. A network is when many things are connected. They use blocks of different colors and shapes to make the network. They work hard and help each other. + +"Look, Lily, we are almost done!" Tom says. "We just need one more block to complete the network. Can you find it?" + +Lily looks around. She sees a blue block on the floor. She picks it up and runs to Tom. "Here, Tom, I found it!" she says. "Let's put it here and finish the network." + +They put the blue block on the network. They smile and clap. They have completed the network. They are very proud. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is Max, the big boy. He is mean and harsh. He likes to break things. He sees Tom and Lily's network. He laughs and kicks it. The blocks fall and scatter. The network is ruined. + +Tom and Lily are sad and angry. They cry and shout. "Max, you are bad! You broke our network! Go away!" + +Max does not care. He walks away and looks for something else to break. + +Tom and Lily hug each other. They are still friends. They decide to make another network. They hope Max will not come back. +Sara and Ben were friends. They liked to play outside in the morning, when the sun was shining. They had a big ball, a red bike, and a yellow kite. They had fun together. + +One morning, Sara and Ben saw something different in the sky. It was not the sun, or the moon, or the stars. It was a big, bright, round thing. It was very shiny. Sara and Ben wanted to see it better. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Sara said. "What is that?" + +"I don't know, Sara, I don't know!" Ben said. "Let's go closer!" + +Sara and Ben ran to the big, bright, round thing. They did not see the sign that said "Danger". They did not hear the noise that said "Beep, beep, beep". They did not feel the heat that said "Hot, hot, hot". + +The big, bright, round thing was a bomb. It was going to explode. Sara and Ben did not know. They ran and ran, until they were very close. Then, the bomb went boom. Sara and Ben went boom too. They were gone. The sun was not shining anymore. The morning was not fun anymore. The end. +Anna liked to play with yarn. She had many colors of yarn in her box. She made hats and scarves and dolls with yarn. She was very good at it. + +One day, she saw a new ball of yarn in the store. It was icy blue, like the sky in winter. She wanted it very much. She asked her mom to buy it for her. + +"Sorry, Anna, we don't have enough money for that," her mom said. "You already have a lot of yarn at home. Maybe you can save some money and buy it later." + +Anna was sad. She really wanted the icy blue yarn. She thought of a plan. She waited until her mom was busy, and then she took the yarn from the shelf and hid it in her coat. She thought no one would see her. + +But she was wrong. The store lady saw her. She stopped her at the door and said, "What do you have there, little girl?" + +Anna was scared. She knew she did a bad thing. She took out the yarn and gave it to the store lady. She said, "I'm sorry, I wanted this yarn, but I didn't have money. I took it without asking. Please don't be mad at me." + +The store lady was not mad. She was kind. She said, "I understand, Anna. You like this yarn very much. But you can't take things that don't belong to you. That's called stealing, and it's wrong. You have to ask before you own something. And you have to pay for it, or trade for it, or work for it. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded. She felt sorry for what she did. She said, "I understand. I won't do it again. I'll save my money and buy the yarn when I can. Thank you for being kind to me." + +The store lady smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you learned your lesson. And because you were honest and brave, I have a gift for you. You can have this small piece of icy blue yarn. You can use it to make something nice. But remember, only take what you own, and own what you take." + +Anna was happy. She thanked the store lady and hugged her mom. She went home with her small piece of icy blue yarn. She made a little bow for her doll. She learned that stealing is wrong, and that honesty is the best policy. She also learned that sometimes, a little bit of something is better than a lot of nothing. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. "I will go first and show you." + +Anna runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. She wears a pink blouse with flowers. She sits on the slide and slides down fast. She laughs and claps her hands. + +"See, Ben, it is not scary!" Anna says. "You can do it too. I trust you." + +Ben looks at the slide. He thinks it is very high and steep. He feels his heart beat fast. He wears a blue shirt with cars. He walks slowly to the slide and holds the ladder. + +"Are you sure, Anna?" Ben says. "It looks crazy." + +Anna nods and smiles. She waits for Ben at the bottom of the slide. She cheers him on. + +"You can do it, Ben, you are brave!" Anna says. "I will catch you if you fall." + +Ben takes a deep breath and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide and closes his eyes. He slides down fast. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He opens his eyes and sees Anna. He lands in her arms and hugs her. + +"I did it, Anna, I did it!" Ben says. "That was fun!" + +Anna and Ben laugh and hug. They are happy. They trust each other. They go on the slide again and again. They have a great day. +Lily and Ben were bored. They had nothing to do. All their toys were dull. They wanted to have fun. + +"Let's make popcorn!" Lily said. She liked popcorn. It was crunchy and yummy. + +"OK!" Ben said. He liked popcorn too. It was salty and warm. + +They went to the kitchen. They found a big bag of popcorn. They put it in the microwave. They pushed the button. They heard a pop, pop, pop. + +They were excited. They stood by the microwave. They watched the bag grow bigger and bigger. + +"Popcorn is ready!" Lily said. She opened the microwave. She took out the bag. It was hot. She opened it carefully. + +"Wow!" Ben said. He saw the popcorn. It was white and fluffy. He smelled the popcorn. It was buttery and good. + +They poured the popcorn in a big bowl. They took some napkins. They went to the couch. They turned on the TV. They found a funny show. They laughed and ate popcorn. + +They were not bored anymore. They had fun. They liked popcorn. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with puzzles. They have many puzzles with animals, cars, and flowers. They have fun making the pictures. + +One day, Anna and Ben find a new puzzle. It is big and has many pieces. It has a picture of a castle. Anna and Ben want to make the castle. They start to put the pieces together. + +But Anna and Ben do not agree. Anna wants to put the blue pieces first. Ben wants to put the green pieces first. They start to fight. They pull the pieces from each other. They say mean words. They break the puzzle. + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They cry. They do not want to play anymore. They sit on the floor and look at the broken puzzle. + +Mom hears them cry. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken puzzle and the sad faces. She hugs Anna and Ben. She tells them to calm down. She tells them to say sorry to each other. She tells them to share and help each other. + +Anna and Ben listen to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They hug. They feel better. They decide to work together. They fix the puzzle. They make the castle. They smile. They are happy. They thank Mom. They play with the puzzle. They are friends. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over them. On Wednesday, they had a big fight. Anna wanted to play with the doll, but Ben wanted it too. + +"Give me the doll!" Ben said. He pulled the doll from Anna's hands. + +"No, it's mine!" Anna said. She tried to get the doll back. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She came into the room. "You need to share your toys. And you need to support each other. You are twins, you should be nice to each other." + +"But Mom, she always gets the doll!" Ben said. He thought Anna was spoiled. + +"But Mom, he always takes the doll!" Anna said. She thought Ben was spoiled. + +Mom sighed. She had an idea. "How about this? You can take turns with the doll. Anna, you can play with it for ten minutes, then you give it to Ben. Ben, you can play with it for ten minutes, then you give it back to Anna. And while you wait, you can play with something else. Or you can play together with the doll. What do you think?" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They did not like the idea at first. But they did not want to make Mom angry. And they did not want to fight anymore. + +"Okay, Mom," they said. + +Mom smiled. She gave them a hug. "Good. I'm proud of you. You are supporting each other. That's what twins do." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They decided to try Mom's idea. They played with the doll and other toys. They did not fight. They had fun. They were happy. And Mom was happy too. +Lily and Sam love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the plane. The plane is big and red and has a zip on the back. When they zip the plane, it makes a loud noise and flies in the air. + +One day, Lily and Sam are playing with the plane in the garden. They take turns to zip the plane and watch it fly. They laugh and clap when the plane goes high and fast. + +"Wow, this plane is so fun!" Lily says. + +"Yes, it is!" Sam agrees. "But look, it is getting dirty. It has mud and grass on it." + +"Oh no, we have to clean it!" Lily says. "Let's go to the hose and wash it." + +Lily and Sam run to the hose and turn it on. They spray the water on the plane and rub it with their hands. They make sure to clean every part of the plane, even the zip. + +"There, now the plane is clean and shiny!" Sam says. + +"Yes, it is!" Lily says. "Let's zip it again and make it fly!" + +Lily and Sam zip the plane and watch it soar in the sky. They smile and hug each other. They are happy to play with their clean plane. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their stuff. They have cars, balls, blocks and animals. They share their stuff, but sometimes they fight. + +One day, Tim wants to play with the big car. He says, "This is my car. You can have the small car." Sam says, "No, I want the big car too. It is faster and tougher." They pull the car from each other. The car breaks. They both feel sad and mad. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken car and the angry boys. She says, "What happened here? Why did you break your car?" Tim and Sam both say, "He did it. He was not nice. He did not share." + +Mom says, "That is not how we play. We share our stuff and we are gentle. You both broke the car. You both need to say sorry and hug." Tim and Sam look at each other. They feel sorry and hug. They say, "Sorry, brother. I love you." + +Mom says, "That is better. I love you too. Now, let's see if we can fix the car. Maybe we can use some tape and glue. Then you can play with it together." Tim and Sam nod. They help Mom fix the car. They feel happy and proud. They play with the car together. They share their stuff and they are gentle. They have fun. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. Lily was pretending to be a princess and Tom was pretending to be a knight. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. It sounded like a big drum. They looked out the window and saw dark clouds and rain. "What is that?" Lily asked, feeling scared. + +"That is thunder," Tom said. "It is when the sky is angry and makes noise. But don't worry, it can't hurt us. We are safe inside." + +Lily nodded, but she still felt nervous. She hugged her doll and moved closer to Tom. "Why is the sky angry?" she wondered. + +Tom thought for a moment. He remembered what his mom had told him once. "The sky is not really angry," he said. "It is just old and sometimes it needs to cry. The rain is its tears and the thunder is its voice. It is sad because it misses the sun and the stars." + +Lily looked at Tom with wide eyes. She felt sorry for the sky. She wished she could make it happy again. "Can we do something to help the sky?" she asked. + +Tom smiled and hugged his brother. He had an idea. "Maybe we can sing a song for the sky," he said. "A song that tells it we love it and we hope it feels better soon." + +Lily liked that idea. She nodded and held Tom's hand. Together, they started to sing a song they had learned at school. It was a song about rainbows and flowers and friends. They sang loudly and happily, hoping the sky would hear them and smile. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They are having fun and laughing a lot. + +But then, the sky becomes dark and cloudy. They hear a loud sound. It is thunder. They see a flash. It is lightning. They are scared and want to go home. + +"Come on, Ben, we have to go!" Anna says. She grabs her jacket and puts it on. She runs to the gate. + +"Wait, Anna, I can't find my jacket!" Ben says. He looks around, but he can't see it. He thinks he left it on the slide. + +Anna pauses. She doesn't want to leave Ben alone. She is a good friend. She runs back to the slide and sees Ben's jacket. She picks it up and gives it to him. + +"Here, Ben, I found your jacket!" Anna says. She helps him put it on. His jacket is flexible and soft. He feels warm and safe. + +"Thank you, Anna, you are the best!" Ben says. He hugs her and smiles. They hold hands and run to the gate. + +They see their mom waiting for them. She is happy to see them. She takes them to the car and drives them home. She tells them stories and sings songs. They forget about the thunder and the lightning. They are glad they have each other. +Sam and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big red wagon in the field. They ran to the wagon and climbed inside. + +"Let's go for a ride!" Sam said. He grabbed a rope that was tied to the wagon. "You pull me, Lily!" + +"Okay!" Lily said. She was cheerful and strong. She pulled the rope and the wagon started to move. Sam laughed and waved his arms. + +They went faster and faster across the field. They saw flowers and birds and cows. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. + +But they did not see the big hole in the ground. The wagon hit the hole and flipped over. Sam and Lily flew out of the wagon and landed hard on the grass. They cried and screamed. They were hurt and scared. + +A farmer heard their cries and came to help them. He picked them up and took them to his house. He called their parents and gave them some water and bandages. + +Sam and Lily were very sorry. They had broken the wagon and hurt themselves. They wished they had been more careful. They learned a lesson that day. They never played with the wagon again. +Tim and his dad liked to go to the lake and catch fish. They had a boat and a net and some worms. Tim loved to see the fish in the water and feel them tug on his line. + +One day, they went to the lake when the sun was mild and the sky was blue. Tim's dad said, "Let's see who can catch the most fish today." Tim said, "OK, dad, I will try hard." They put the worms on their hooks and threw them in the water. + +Soon, Tim felt a big pull on his line. He said, "Dad, I have a fish, I have a fish!" He tried to reel it in, but it was too strong. It pulled and pulled and pulled, until Tim lost his balance and fell into the water. + +Tim's dad was scared. He dropped his rod and grabbed the net. He tried to reach Tim with the net, but Tim was too far away. The fish dragged him deeper and deeper into the lake. Tim's dad shouted, "Tim, Tim, hold on, I'm coming!" But he could not catch up with Tim. + +Tim was cold and wet and scared. He could not see his dad or the boat or the sky. He could only see the fish, a big, mean fish with sharp teeth and a long tail. The fish opened its mouth and bit Tim. Tim screamed, but no one heard him. The fish ate Tim and swam away. Tim's dad never saw him again. He was very sad and cried a lot. He wished he had never taken Tim to the lake. He wished he had never been a fisherman. +Ben and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is. He is our friend," Ben said. + +They wanted to make him warmer, so they went to the shed and found some old paper and sticks. They thought they could make a fire for him. They did not know that fire was dangerous. + +They put the paper and sticks under the snowman and lit them with a match. They saw a bright flame and some smoke. They thought it was pretty. + +"Wow, look at the fire!" Ben said. + +"Yes, it is so warm and cozy. Our snowman will like it," Lily said. + +But the fire was not good for the snowman. It melted his snow and burned his hat and scarf. His carrot nose and rock eyes fell off. He was not nice anymore. He was gone. + +Ben and Lily saw what they had done. They were very sad and scared. They cried and ran to their house. They smelled the smoke and saw the fire. They hoped their mom and dad would not be angry. They hoped they would not be in trouble. They hoped the fire would not spread. They hoped they would be safe. But they did not know. +Tommy loved baseball. He had a baseball bat, a baseball glove and a baseball cap. He liked to play with his dad in the park. They would throw and catch the ball and hit it with the bat. Tommy wanted to be a good baseball player when he grew up. + +One day, Tommy saw a big sign in the park. It said: "Baseball Tryouts for Kids". Tommy was very excited. He wanted to join the baseball team and make new friends. He ran to his dad and said: "Dad, can I try out for the baseball team? Please, please, please!" + +His dad smiled and said: "Sure, Tommy. You can try out for the baseball team. But you have to be careful. Baseball is a fun game, but it can also be hard. Some kids are bigger and stronger than you. Some kids are faster and smarter than you. You have to work hard and practice a lot. And you have to be brave and kind. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded and said: "Yes, dad. I understand. I will work hard and practice a lot. I will be brave and kind. I want to be a good baseball player and a good friend." + +His dad hugged him and said: "I'm proud of you, Tommy. You are a good boy. But remember, baseball is not the most important thing in life. There are other things that matter more. Like your family, your health, your faith. You have to be thankful for what you have and pray for what you need. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded and said: "Yes, dad. I understand. I will be thankful and pray. I love you, dad." + +His dad kissed him and said: "I love you too, Tommy. Now, let's go and have some fun. But be careful with your bat. It's fragile. Don't break it." +Tim and Sam love to play baseball. They have a big field near their house. They take their bats and balls and run to the field. They are very happy. + +"Let's race to the field!" Tim says. "The first one there gets to bat first!" + +"OK!" Sam says. "Ready, set, go!" + +They run as fast as they can. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They see the field ahead. They are almost there. + +But then, something incredible happens. A big dog jumps out of the bushes. It is brown and furry and has a long tail. It barks loudly and runs after them. + +"Wow! Look at that dog!" Tim says. "It is so big and fast!" + +"Help! It wants to play with us!" Sam says. "But we want to play baseball!" + +They run faster and faster. They reach the field and climb over the fence. The dog stops at the fence and wags its tail. It does not look angry. It looks friendly. + +"Maybe it likes baseball too," Tim says. "Do you want to play with us, dog?" + +The dog barks and nods. Tim and Sam smile. They throw the ball to the dog. The dog catches it and brings it back. They take turns batting and pitching and running. The dog runs with them and cheers them on. + +They have a lot of fun. They forget about the race. They make a new friend. They play baseball until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the dog and promise to come back. + +They walk home together. They are very happy. They love to play baseball. And they love their incredible dog. +Lily liked to fold paper. She made hats and boats and birds with her paper. She gave them to her friends and family.

She wanted it back. + +Max said no. He said he was a lawyer. He said he knew the rules. He said Lily had to give him all her paper. Lily did not know what a lawyer was. She did not think he knew the rules. She thought he was mean. + +Lily ran to her teacher. She told her what Max did. The teacher was gentle. She hugged Lily and said she was sorry. She said Max was wrong. She said Lily could have more paper. She said she would talk to Max. + +The teacher went to Max. She asked him why he took Lily's paper. Max said he was a lawyer. He said he liked paper. He said Lily had too much paper. The teacher said he was not a lawyer. She said he was a child. She said he had to share paper. She said he had to say sorry to Lily. + +Max did not want to say sorry. He did not want to share paper. He was stubborn. But the teacher was firm. She said he had to do it. She said it was the rule. She said it was nice. + +Max sighed. He went to Lily. He said sorry. He gave her some paper. Lily said thank you. She gave him a hat. Max smiled. He said thank you. He put the hat on his head. + +Lily and Max became friends. They folded paper together. They made hats and boats and birds. They gave them to their friends and family. They said thank you and smiled. +Lily was a pink bunny who loved to hop. She hopped all over the garden, looking for carrots and flowers. One day, she saw a big orange on a tree. She wanted to taste it, but it was too high for her. + +"Hello, orange," she said. "Can you come down and play with me?" + +The orange did not answer. It just hung on the branch, looking juicy and round. + +Lily tried to hop higher and higher, but she could not reach the orange. She was getting tired and hungry. She wished she had a friend to help her. + +Then she heard a voice behind her. It was Ben, a brown bear who lived in the woods. He was big and strong, and he liked to climb trees. + +"Hi, Lily," he said. "What are you doing?" + +"I want to eat that orange, but it is too high for me," Lily said. "Can you help me get it?" + +Ben smiled. He liked to help his friends. He walked to the tree and shook it with his paws. The orange fell to the ground, and Lily caught it with her ears. + +"Thank you, Ben," she said. "You are very kind. Do you want to share the orange with me?" + +Ben nodded. He liked to share his food. He peeled the orange and gave half to Lily. They ate the orange together, and it was sweet and juicy. + +They became good friends, and they played and hopped in the garden. Lily learned that it is better to ask for help than to try to do everything by herself. She also learned that sharing is caring, and that friends make everything more fun. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw their grandpa cutting some branches from the big tree. They asked him what he was doing. + +"I am pruning the tree, my dears. That means I am making it smaller and healthier. See these dry and broken branches? They are not good for the tree. They make it sick and weak. So I cut them off and throw them away," grandpa explained. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They wanted to help grandpa. They thought pruning was fun. They picked up some scissors and ran to the tree. They started to cut any branch they could reach. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" grandpa shouted. "You are not pruning, you are hurting the tree! You are cutting off the good branches, the ones that have leaves and flowers and fruits. You are making the tree sad and ugly. You don't understand how to prune. You need to learn first. Give me the scissors, please." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They did not mean to hurt the tree. They gave the scissors back to grandpa. They asked him to teach them how to prune. + +Grandpa smiled. He hugged them and said, "I am glad you want to help, but you need to be careful and listen. Pruning is not just cutting. It is choosing what to cut and what to keep. It is like giving the tree a haircut. You want to make it look nice and healthy, not bald and sick. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said they understood. They watched grandpa prune the tree. They learned how to tell the difference between the good and the bad branches. They asked him questions and he answered them. They helped him collect the cut branches and put them in a pile. + +Grandpa was happy. He praised them for being helpful and curious. He gave them each a prune to eat. A prune is a dried plum. It is sweet and chewy. Anna and Ben liked it. They thanked grandpa for the prune and the lesson. + +Grandpa said, "You are welcome, my dears. You know, prunes are good for you. They help you grow and stay healthy. Just like pruning helps the tree grow and stay healthy. Do you see the connection?" + +Anna and Ben smiled. They saw the connection. They learned a lot from grandpa. They learned how to prune, how to help, and how to understand. They decided to be more careful and listen more in the future. They hugged grandpa and said they loved him. Grandpa hugged them back and said he loved them too. They were a happy family. +Lila loves to read books. She has many books in her room. She likes books with pictures and words. She can read some words by herself. She likes to read to her toys and make them happy. + +One day, she finds a new book on her bed. It is a gift from her mom. The book is about zoom cars. Zoom cars are very fast and modern. They can go on roads, water and air. They have bright colors and cool sounds. Lila is very excited. She opens the book and starts to read. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" she reads. "This is a red zoom car. It can go on the road. It can go very fast. It has four wheels and a big engine. Vroom, vroom, vroom!" + +She shows the book to her teddy bear. "Do you like the zoom car, teddy?" she asks. "It is very modern and fun. I wish I had a zoom car." + +Teddy nods and smiles. He likes the zoom car too. He likes to listen to Lila read. He thinks she is very smart and kind. + +Lila turns the page. She sees a blue zoom car. It can go on water. It has a propeller and a sail.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" + +She shows the book to her robot. "Do you like the zoom car, robot?" she asks. "It is very modern and fun. I wish I had a zoom car." + +Robot nods and smiles. He likes the zoom car too. He likes to listen to Lila read. He thinks she is very cool and clever. + +Lila finishes the book. She is very happy. She hugs her toys and thanks them for listening. She says she loves them and the zoom cars. She puts the book on her shelf. She says she will read it again tomorrow. She says good night to her toys and goes to sleep. She dreams of zoom cars. Zoom, zoom, zoom! +Lily was very hungry after dinner. She wanted dessert, but Mom said no. Mom said dessert was only for special days, not every day. Lily was sad and angry. She did not like Mom's rule. + +She saw a cake on the counter. It looked yummy. It had pink frosting and sprinkles. Lily wanted a slice of cake. She thought Mom was not looking. She climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. + +But Mom saw her. Mom was quick. She grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her down. She said, "Lily, no! That cake is not for you. That cake is for Grandma's birthday. You have to wait until tomorrow. You are being naughty." + +Lily felt helpless. She could not have the cake. She could not make Mom change her mind. She started to cry. She pointed at the cake and said, "But I want it! I want it now!" + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I know, sweetie. But you can't always have what you want. You have to be patient and polite. How about we have some fruit instead? Fruit is good for you and tasty too." + +Lily stopped crying. She liked fruit. She nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I'm sorry. Can I have a banana?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. You can have a banana. And tomorrow, you can have a piece of cake with Grandma. How does that sound?" + +Lily smiled too. She said, "That sounds good, Mom. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl." +Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. Sam wanted to go on the slide, but Lily was scared. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go on the slide. It's not scary, it's fun!" Sam said. + +"No, Sam, I don't want to. It's too high and fast. I want to stay here and play with my doll." Lily said. + +"Fine, you stay here, but I'm going on the slide. You're a baby, Lily." Sam said. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. + +Lily watched Sam go on the slide. She felt sad and lonely. She wished Sam would stay with her and play. She did not like the slide. She thought it was dangerous. + +Sam went on the slide and felt very happy. He liked the slide. He thought it was exciting. He wanted to go again and again. He did not care about Lily. He thought he was better than her. + +But Sam did not know the law of the park. The law of the park said that children had to share the slide and take turns. They had to be humble and kind to each other. They had to listen to the grown-ups who watched them. + +Sam did not follow the law of the park. He did not share the slide. He did not take turns. He was not humble and kind. He did not listen to the grown-ups. He was rude and selfish. + +The grown-ups saw Sam on the slide. They did not like what he did. They told him to stop and get off the slide. They told him he was breaking the law of the park. They told him he had to leave the park and go home. + +Sam did not listen to the grown-ups. He did not stop and get off the slide. He did not leave the park and go home. He said he did not care about the law of the park. He said he did not care about anyone. He said he would do what he wanted. + +The grown-ups got angry with Sam. They called his mom and dad. They told them what Sam did. They told them to come and get him. + +Sam's mom and dad came to the park. They saw Sam on the slide. They saw Lily on the bench. They saw the grown-ups and the other children. They were very upset with Sam. They were very sorry for Lily. + +They took Sam off the slide. They scolded him and punished him. They made him apologize to Lily and the grown-ups and the other children. They made him give his toys to Lily. They made him go home and stay in his room. + +Sam cried and cried. He felt very bad. He lost his best friend. He lost his toys. He lost his fun. He wished he had stayed with Lily and played. He wished he had followed the law of the park. He wished he had been humble and kind. He learned his lesson. But it was too late. +Sara loved to dance. She had a gifted way of moving her body to the music. She could snap her fingers, tap her feet, and shake her hips. She felt happy when she danced. + +One day, Sara went to a dance class with her mom. There were other kids there who also liked to dance. The teacher played some music and showed them how to dance. Sara watched and tried to copy her. She followed the rhythm of the music and snapped her fingers. + +But some kids did not snap their fingers. They laughed at Sara and said she was silly. They said snapping was not dancing. They said she should stop. Sara felt sad and stopped dancing. + +The teacher saw what happened and came to Sara. She smiled and said, "Don't listen to them, Sara. You are a gifted dancer. Snapping your fingers is a fun way to dance. It shows you have rhythm and style. You can dance however you want.

They ask the big boy nicely. + +"Can we ride your bike, please?" Tim says. + +"No, it is mine. Go away!" the big boy says. He is mean and rude. He pushes Tim and Mia. They fall on the grass. They hurt their knees and elbows. They weep. + +Their moms hear them and run to them. They hug them and kiss them. They make them feel better. + +"Are you okay, sweeties?" Mia's mom says. + +"Yes, mom. But the big boy was bad. He did not share his bike. He has too much power." Mia says. + +"That is not nice. Sharing is caring. He should learn to be kind." Tim's mom says. + +"Maybe he is lonely. Maybe he needs a friend." Tim says. + +"Maybe. But you don't have to play with him if he is mean. You have each other. You are good friends." Mia's mom says. + +Tim and Mia smile. They hug each other. They are happy again. They go to play with their cars and dolls. They forget about the big boy and his bike.

She showed her mom a pink doll that sang songs. + +Mom looked at the price tags on the toys. They were very expensive. She shook her head and said, "No, these toys are too much money. We can only buy one small toy each." + +Ben and Mia were sad. They did not want to buy small toys. They wanted the big and incredible toys. They ignored their mom and kept looking at the toys they liked. + +Mom was not happy. She said, "Ben and Mia, come here. We have to go now. If you don't listen to me, you will not get any toys at all." + +Ben and Mia heard their mom. They did not want to leave the toy store without any toys. They put back the big toys and followed their mom. They picked one small toy each. Ben chose a blue car. Mia chose a yellow duck. + +Mom paid for the small toys. She gave them to Ben and Mia. They said, "Thank you, mom." + +Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you listened to me. Maybe next time we can save some money and buy a bigger toy." + +Ben and Mia nodded.

She felt sorry for Tom. She had an idea. She ran to her lunch box and opened it. She had two cheese sandwiches. She gave one to Tom and said, "Here, you can have this. I have another one."

They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big hill with many rocks. They wanted to climb it and see what was on top. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find a treasure!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But be careful, the rocks are sharp and hard." + +They climbed the hill, holding hands. They saw many flowers, bugs and birds. They were happy and curious. They reached the top and looked around. They saw a big hole in the ground. It was dark and scary. + +"What is that, Tom?" Lily asked. "Is it a cave?" + +"I don't know, Lily," Tom said. "Maybe it is. Do you want to go inside?" + +Lily was afraid, but she wanted to be brave. She nodded and followed Tom. They walked into the hole. It was cold and wet. They heard strange noises. They saw bones and skulls. They were skeletons! + +"Tom, I don't like this," Lily said. "Let's go back." + +But it was too late. The skeletons rose from the ground. They moved and rattled. They had red eyes and sharp teeth. They were not nice. They were angry and hungry. + +"Help, Lily!" Tom cried. "The skeletons want to eat us!" + +Lily screamed and ran. She tried to find the way out. But the skeletons were faster. They caught her and Tom. They bit them and tore them. They made them into more skeletons. + +The end. +Tom and Anna like to play pretend. They have a big box of stamps that they use to make cards and letters. They pretend they are postmen and postwomen who deliver mail to their friends and family. + +One day, Tom and Anna have a fight. Tom wants to use all the stamps for his cards. He says he has more friends than Anna and he needs more stamps. Anna says that is not fair. She says she has friends too and she wants some stamps. They both pull and tug at the stamps and make a big mess. + +"Stop it, Tom! You are greedy!" Anna shouts. + +"No, you stop it, Anna! You are mean!" Tom shouts back. + +They are so loud that their mom hears them. She comes to their room and sees the stamps all over the floor. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing, Tom and Anna? Why are you fighting over the stamps?" she asks. + +Tom and Anna look at each other. They feel ashamed. They know they were not nice to each other. + +"We are sorry, mom. We were playing pretend and we wanted more stamps," Tom says. + +"We forgot to share and be modest, mom. We were selfish and rude," Anna says. + +Mom nods. She says, "I'm glad you realize your mistake. Playing pretend is fun, but you have to respect each other and your things. Stamps are not only for you, they are for everyone. You have to be generous and kind." + +Tom and Anna nod. They say, "You are right, mom. We are sorry. Can we hug and make up?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Of course you can. I love you both. Now, why don't you pick up the stamps and put them back in the box? Then you can play pretend again, but this time, with more love and less greed." + +Tom and Anna hug and say sorry to each other. They pick up the stamps and put them back in the box. They decide to make cards for each other and for mom. They use the stamps to decorate them. They write nice words and draw happy faces.

They have fun with their toys. +Tim and his dad went to the lake to catch some fish. They had a boat and a net and some worms. Tim liked to watch the fish swim in the water. He wanted to touch them. + +"Can I hold a fish, dad?" Tim asked. + +"Sure, son, but be careful. They are slippery and they have sharp fins. You have to be gentle with them," his dad said. + +They caught a big fish and put it in the net. Tim was very happy. He reached for the fish with his hand. He wanted to feel its scales and its tail. + +But the fish was not happy. It was scared and angry. It jumped out of the net and bit Tim's finger. Tim screamed and let go of the fish. It fell back into the water and swam away. + +Tim's finger was bleeding and it hurt a lot. His dad wrapped it with a cloth and said, "I'm sorry, son. That was a rough fish.

I want to go home." + +His dad hugged him and said, "I know, son. I know. Let's go home." +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and angry. + +"Look, a cloud!" Ben said. "It is going to rain." + +"No, it is not," Lily said. "It is just a cloud. It will go away." + +They argued about the cloud. Ben said it was going to rain and they should go home. Lily said it was not going to rain and they should stay and play. They did not listen to each other. + +Suddenly, a loud noise made them stop. It was a thunder. The cloud was striking with lightning. It was scary and bright. + +"Ah!" Ben and Lily screamed. They ran to each other and hugged. They were afraid of the cloud. + +"Sorry, Ben," Lily said. "You were right. It is going to rain. We should go home." + +"Sorry, Lily," Ben said. "You were brave. We can play again another day." + +They held hands and ran to their mom. She was waiting for them under a tree. She had an umbrella and a smile. + +"Come on, kids," she said. "Let's go home. The cloud will not hurt you. It is just a humble cloud. It is saying sorry for being loud." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a pond with some ducks. They wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Look, Ben, ducks!" Lily said. "Let's go and say hello." + +They ran to the pond and threw some bread crumbs. The ducks came closer and ate them. They quacked and wiggled their tails. Lily and Ben laughed and clapped. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It barked and ran to the pond. It wanted to chase the ducks. + +"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. "Leave the ducks alone!" + +The dog did not listen. It jumped into the pond and splashed water. The ducks were scared. They tried to swim away. + +Lily and Ben were scared too. They did not know what to do. They wished the dog would stop. + +Then they saw a man. He was the dog's owner. He called the dog's name. + +"Rex, come here! Bad dog! You can't bother the ducks!" + +He ran to the pond and grabbed the dog's collar. He pulled him out of the pond. He said sorry to Lily and Ben. + +"I'm sorry, kids. Rex is a naughty dog. He likes to chase things. He didn't mean to scare you or the ducks." + +He gave them a smile and a pat. He took Rex away. + +Lily and Ben were glad. They looked at the pond. The ducks were still there. They were calm now. They quacked and wiggled their tails again. + +"Thank you, man. You are kind," Lily said. + +"Yes, thank you. You saved the ducks," Ben said. + +They threw some more bread crumbs. The ducks ate them. They were happy. + +Lily and Ben were happy too. They liked the ducks. They liked the kind man. They did not like the naughty dog. + +They decided to play some more. They ran and jumped and slid. They had fun. + +But they did not forget the ducks. They waved to them and said goodbye. + +"Bye, ducks. We will come back soon. We hope you don't freeze in the cold water." + +"Bye, kids. We will wait for you. We hope you have a nice day." + +The ducks and the kids were friends. They liked each other. They were kind. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. But they also made a big mess. There was flour and water and eggshells everywhere. + +"Uh-oh," said Ben. "Mom will be mad. We need to clean up." + +He looked around and saw a mop in the corner. He grabbed it and tried to wipe the floor. But the mop was too big and heavy for him. He tripped and fell on the wet floor. + +"Ouch!" he cried. "This mop is no good." + +Lily saw a yellow towel on the table. She had an idea. She folded the towel in half and then in half again. She made a small square. + +"Look, Ben," she said. "We can use this towel to clean up. It is soft and yellow and easy to hold." + +She gave Ben one end of the towel and took the other end. They rubbed the towel on the floor and picked up the flour and water and eggshells. They worked together and soon the floor was clean. + +"Good job, Lily," said Ben. "You are very smart. This towel is much better than the mop." + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy they cleaned up their mess. They hoped Mom would be proud of them. +Tom and Anna were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a red car and Anna had a blue doll. They were having fun until Tom saw Anna's doll and wanted to play with it. + +"Give me your doll, Anna!" Tom said, grabbing the doll's handle. + +"No, Tom! It's mine!" Anna said, trying to resist. "You have your car, play with that!" + +"But I want the doll too!" Tom said, pulling harder. "It has a pretty dress and hair!" + +Anna did not like Tom's pulling. She felt angry and sad. She did not want to share her doll with Tom. She wanted to keep it for herself. + +"Tom, stop it!" Anna said, crying. "You are hurting me and the doll!" + +Tom did not listen to Anna. He did not care about her feelings or the doll. He only cared about what he wanted. He kept pulling until he broke the doll's handle.

She wanted to be friends. + +"It's okay, Tom," Anna said, picking up her doll. "I forgive you. But you have to be more careful and respectful.

Maybe ten minutes. Then I'll be available to play. You can sit on the rock and watch the waves. They are very pretty." the octopus said. + +"OK, we'll sit on the rock and watch the waves. Then we'll play with you. We're glad you're friendly." Ben said. + +"Me too. You're nice kids. See you soon." the octopus said. + +The octopus closed its eye and rested.

This is my doll sign. It has a dress and a bow. Hello, hello!" Lily said. + +They were having fun until they saw their elderly neighbor, Mr. Jones, walking by the window. He looked grumpy and sad. He always told them to be quiet and stop making noise. He did not like children or toys or signs. + +"Shh, it's Mr. Jones. He might hear us and get angry," Lily whispered. + +But Ben did not listen. He wanted to make Mr. Jones happy. He thought maybe he did not have any signs of his own. He took a big piece of paper and wrote "HI" with his crayons. He held it up to the window and smiled. + +"Look, Mr. Jones, this is my sign for you. It means hi. Hi, hi!" Ben shouted. + +Mr. Jones heard Ben and turned to the window. He saw the sign and frowned. He did not like the sign. He did not like the word. He did not like the shout. He banged on the window and yelled. + +"Stop that, you little brat! That's not a sign, that's a mess. Go away and leave me alone. I don't want your hi. I want quiet!" Mr. Jones shouted. + +Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They did not understand why Mr. Jones was so mean. They dropped their signs and ran to their mom. She hugged them and told them not to worry. + +"Mr. Jones is an elderly man who lives alone. He is not used to children or signs. He does not know how to be friendly or kind. He needs some love and patience. Maybe one day he will learn to say hi back," she said. +Ben and Lily were playing in the barn. They liked to act like animals and make noises. Ben was a furry cow and Lily was a furry sheep. They mooed and baaed and ran around the hay. + +"Look, Ben, there is a big red tractor!" Lily said. She pointed to the corner of the barn. "Can we act like tractors too?" + +"Sure, Lily, let's act like tractors!" Ben said. He followed Lily to the tractor. They climbed on the seat and pretended to drive. They made honking and vrooming sounds. + +But then they heard a loud voice. It was Farmer Joe. He was angry. He saw Ben and Lily on his tractor. + +"Hey, you two, get off my tractor!" Farmer Joe shouted. "This is not a toy, this is my work machine. You could get hurt or break something. Go back to your parents, now!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They jumped off the tractor and ran to the door. They said sorry to Farmer Joe and ran to their parents. They did not want to act like tractors anymore. They decided to act like nice children instead. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They saw a huge tree with many acorns on it. They wanted to collect the acorns and make a pile. + +They each took a big bag and started to pick up the acorns from the ground. They filled their bags with many acorns. They were happy. + +But then they saw a big squirrel on the tree. The squirrel was angry. It wanted the acorns for itself. It started to throw acorns at Tim and Sam. It hit them on their heads and faces. It hurt them. + +Tim and Sam were scared. They ran away from the tree. But they forgot their bags of acorns. The squirrel saw the bags and ran to them. It opened the bags and took all the acorns. It tied the bags to a branch and made a nest. + +Tim and Sam came back to the tree. They wanted their acorns back. But they saw the squirrel and the bags on the tree. They could not reach them. They were sad and mad. They cried and yelled. They had no acorns and no fun.

Tom and Lily loved their robot very much. + +One day, a mean boy came to the park. He saw Tom and Lily's robot and wanted to have it. He ran to them and said, "Give me your robot! It is mine now!" + +Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They did not want to give their robot to the mean boy. They said, "No, this is our robot! We made it with our dad. Go away!" + +The mean boy was angry and harsh. He pushed Tom and Lily and grabbed their robot. He tried to run away with it, but he did not know how to use it. The robot did not like the mean boy. It did not want to go with him. + +The robot used its spring to jump out of the mean boy's arms. It landed next to Tom and Lily and hugged them. It said, "I am your robot. I love you. You are kind and gentle. The mean boy is bad. He hurt you and me." + +Tom and Lily were happy and relieved. They hugged their robot back and thanked it. They said, "We love you too, robot. You are smart and brave. The mean boy is gone. He cannot hurt us anymore." + +They took their robot and went home. They told their dad what happened and he was proud of them and their robot. He said, "You are good kids and you have a good robot. You stick together and you help each other. The mean boy learned a lesson. He should not be harsh and greedy. He should be nice and share." + +Tom and Lily smiled and nodded. They agreed with their dad. They played with their robot and had fun. They were a happy family. +Sara and Ben are at the beach with their mom and dad. They like to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they go into the water, but not too far. The water is mild, not too hot and not too cold. + +One day, they see a big wave coming. It is bigger than the other waves. Sara is scared and runs to her mom. Ben is curious and stays in the water. He wants to touch the wave. + +"Ben, come back!" Sara shouts. "The wave is too big!" + +But Ben does not listen. He waits for the wave to come. He thinks it will be fun. + +The wave reaches Ben and lifts him up. He feels like he is flying. He laughs and splashes. He does not see that the wave is taking him away from the shore. + +Sara sees that Ben is far from her. She is very scared. She runs to her dad and pulls his hand. + +"Dad, dad, help!" Sara cries. "The wave took Ben!" + +Dad sees Ben in the water. He is not laughing anymore. He is waving his arms and calling for help. Dad runs into the water and swims to Ben. He grabs him and brings him back to the shore. + +Sara hugs Ben and cries. She is happy that he is safe. Ben hugs Sara and says he is sorry. He is scared and wet. + +Dad explains to Ben that the big wave was dangerous. He says that Ben should not go into the water alone. He says that Ben should listen to Sara and mom and dad. He says that he loves Ben and he does not want him to get hurt. + +Ben nods and says he understands. He says he loves dad and he will be careful. He says he loves Sara and he will not scare her again. + +Mom comes and wraps Ben and Sara in a towel. She kisses them and says they are brave. She says they should go and have some ice cream. Ben and Sara smile and agree. They hold mom and dad's hands and walk to the ice cream shop. They are happy to be together. +Lily was a thin fox who liked to play in the woods. She had many friends, like Ben the bear and Sam the squirrel. One day, she found a big puddle of mud and jumped in it. She had so much fun that she did not see how dirty she was. + +"Look at me, Ben!" she said to her friend, who was watching her. "I am a mud fox!" + +Ben laughed and said, "You are a silly fox, Lily. You need to wipe yourself clean. Your fur is all brown and sticky." + +Lily did not want to wipe herself. She liked being a mud fox. She ran away from Ben and looked for Sam. She hoped he would play with her. + +But Sam was not happy to see her. He was sitting on a branch, eating a nut. When he saw Lily, he said, "Ew, Lily, you are a mess. You need to wipe yourself clean. Your fur is all wet and smelly." + +Lily did not want to wipe herself. She liked being a mess. She ran away from Sam and looked for another friend. She hoped someone would play with her. + +But no one wanted to play with her. They all said the same thing. "You need to wipe yourself clean. You are a dirty fox." + +Lily felt sad and lonely. She realized that being a mud fox was not fun. She wanted to be a clean fox again. She went back to the puddle and tried to wipe herself with her paws. But it was not enough. The mud was too hard and dry. + +She needed help. She looked around and saw Ben. He was still there, waiting for her. He smiled and said, "Do you want me to help you, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please, Ben. I am sorry I was a mud fox. I want to be a clean fox again." + +Ben said, "It's okay, Lily. I am your friend. I will help you." He took a big leaf and dipped it in the water. He gently wiped Lily's fur until it was soft and shiny again. + +Lily felt happy and grateful. She hugged Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I love you." + +Ben hugged her back and said, "You are welcome, Lily. I love you too. You are a beautiful fox." +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. They saw a big yellow and black bug on a red flower. It was a bee. + +"Look, a bee!" Tom said. "I want to pick it up and see it." + +"No, Tom, don't do that!" Lily said. "Bees can sting you and it hurts. Bees are not for picking, they are for making honey." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He reached out his hand and tried to pick the bee. The bee did not like that. It was angry and scared. It stung Tom on his finger. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "It stung me! It stung me!" + +Lily ran to Tom and saw his finger. It was red and swollen. She felt sorry for Tom, but she was also mad at him. + +"I told you not to pick the bee, Tom!" Lily said. "You were silly and naughty. Now you have to go to Mom and get some ice. Bees are disgusting. I don't like bees." + +Tom was sad and sore. He wished he had listened to Lily. He learned his lesson. He never tried to pick a bee again. The end. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. They have a ball, a kite, and a bike. They have a lot of fun. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a collar and a leash. The dog is with a man. The man is nice. He says, "Hello, kids. Do you want to pet my dog? His name is Max." + +Ben and Lily look at the dog. They are scared. They do not like big dogs. They hide behind their mom and dad. They do not say anything. They make silence. + +The man smiles. He says, "Don't be afraid. Max is very friendly. He likes children. He will not bite. He will lick you and wag his tail. He is a cheerful dog." + +The man bends down and pets Max. He shows Ben and Lily how to touch his fur and his ears. He says, "See? He is soft and warm. He likes you. He wants to play with you." + +Ben and Lily look at the dog again. They see his tongue and his eyes. They see his tail and his paws. They see that he is not mean. He is cute. They feel brave. They come out from behind their mom and dad. They say, "Hi, Max. Can we pet you?" + +The dog barks. He is happy. He wags his tail. He licks Ben and Lily's faces. They giggle. They pet him and hug him. They play with him and the ball. They have a lot of fun. + +The man says, "You are very nice kids. Max likes you a lot. Do you want to come back and see him again?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They say, "Yes, please. We like Max a lot. He is a cheerful dog. Thank you for letting us pet him." + +The man says, "You are very welcome. We will see you soon. Bye, kids. Bye, Max." + +Ben and Lily wave. They say, "Bye, man. Bye, Max.

They like to play with their family. One day, they go to the park with Mom and Dad. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. The slide is very fast," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream. They have fun. + +"Look at me, Dad!" Ben shouts. He slides down with his arms out. He pretends to be a plane. + +"You are so wild, Ben!" Dad says. He smiles and claps. + +Lily wants to be wild too. She slides down with her legs up. She pretends to be a rocket. + +"Wow, Lily, you are so fast!" Mom says. She hugs and kisses her. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They love to speed on the slide. They love their family. They have a great day at the park. +Ben and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big truck. The truck can make loud noises and move fast. Ben and Mia pretend they are famous drivers who go on adventures. + +One day, they decide to play a game with the truck. They find a net in the garage and wrap it around the truck. They say the net is a trap for bad guys. They take turns being the driver and the bad guy. + +"Help, help!" Mia shouts, as Ben drives the truck with the net. "The bad guy has caught me in his trap!" + +"Don't worry, Mia!" Ben says, as he stops the truck. "I will save you!" + +Ben jumps out of the truck and runs to Mia. He tries to unwrap the net, but it is too tight. He pulls and pulls, but the net does not move. + +"Oh no, Ben!" Mia says. "We are both stuck in the trap!" + +They look at each other and start to giggle. They think the game is funny. They call for their mom to help them. + +"Mom, mom!" they yell. "We need your help!" + +Mom hears them and comes to the garage. She sees them wrapped in the net and smiles. She thinks they are very creative. She helps them unwrap the net and hugs them. + +"You two are very silly," she says. "But I love you very much." + +Ben and Mia hug her back. They are happy. They say they love her too. They ask her if they can play with the truck and the net again. + +"Maybe later," Mom says. "But first, let's have some lunch." + +Ben and Mia agree. They are hungry. They follow Mom to the kitchen. They leave the truck and the net in the garage. They plan to play more games after lunch. They are famous drivers who go on adventures. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box has a lock on it. They want to see what is inside. + +Tom says, "I have a key. Maybe it can open the lock." He tries the key, but it does not work. The lock is too big for the key. + +Mia says, "I have an idea. We can use a stick to break the lock. I saw it on TV." She looks for a stick, but she cannot find one. + +Tom says, "You are intelligent, Mia. But we need a big stick. Maybe we can ask someone to help us." + +They see a man walking his dog. He is big and strong. They run to him and ask, "Can you help us? We want to open the box. It has a lock on it." + +The man smiles and says, "Sure, I can help you. But what if the box belongs to someone else? Maybe they do not want you to open it." + +Tom and Mia look at each other. They did not think about that. They say, "We are sorry. We were just curious. We do not want to take anything from the box." + +The man says, "That is good. You are honest and polite. I will support you and help you open the box. But only if we can share what is inside with the owner, if we find them." + +Tom and Mia agree. They are happy and excited. They follow the man and his dog to the box. The man uses his big stick to break the lock. He opens the box and they see what is inside. It is a lot of books and toys. They are colorful and fun. + +Tom and Mia clap their hands and say, "Wow! Thank you for helping us. These are amazing. Can we play with them?" + +The man says, "Yes, you can. But only for a little while. Then we have to find the owner and give them back. Maybe they lost the box or forgot it here. They must be sad and miss their books and toys." + +Tom and Mia nod and say, "OK. We understand. We will be careful and not break anything. We hope we can find the owner and make them happy." + +They play with the books and toys for a while. They have a lot of fun. They learn new things and make new friends. They are glad they found the box and the man and his dog. They are also glad they were intelligent, honest, polite and supportive. They think it is a good day. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the field near their house. The field has many flowers and bugs and birds.

They run to the tree and sit under it. The tree has many leaves and branches. It makes a cool shade. Tom and Lily feel safer under the tree. They hug each other and wait for the storm to pass. + +After a while, the sky is clear and the sun is bright. The thunder and lightning are gone. The field is wet and shiny.

Ben and Lily said. They liked to help Grandma. She always gave them cookies and juice afterwards. + +Grandma gave them each a small shovel and a bucket. They followed her to a patch of dirt near the wall. "We're going to plant some seeds here," Grandma said. "They will grow into beautiful sunflowers. Do you know what sunflowers are?" + +Ben nodded. "They are big and yellow and look like the sun," he said. + +Lily shook her head. "I don't know," she said. + +Grandma smiled. "They are very pretty and cheerful," she said.

Do you understand?" + +"Yes, we do!" Ben and Lily said. They started to dig and plant with Grandma. They had fun working together. They hoped the seeds would grow soon. + +They finished planting the seeds and watered them. Then they cleaned their shovels and buckets and put them away.

"You are very good helpers. I can't wait to see the sunflowers with you. Do you want to come back soon?" + +"Yes, we do!" Ben and Lily said. They liked to visit Grandma. She was very kind and sweet. They waved goodbye and went home with their mom and dad. They dreamed of sunflowers that night. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a toy camera and a microphone. They wanted to record a show for their parents. + +"Hello, I am Sara and this is Tom. We are going to show you some animals in the garden. Come with us!" Sara said into the microphone. + +They walked around the garden and pointed the camera at different things. They saw a bird, a butterfly, a worm and a snail. They talked about them and made funny noises. + +Then they came to the hedge. They saw something moving behind it. They were curious. They went closer and peeked through the leaves. + +They saw a big, fluffy cat. It was lying on the grass and licking its paw. It looked very happy and lazy. + +"Wow, look at that cat! It is so cute and soft. I wish I had a cat like that," Tom said. + +"Me too. Let's record it and show our parents. Maybe they will get us a cat," Sara said. + +They pointed the camera and the microphone at the cat. They tried to make it look at them. They said hello and made funny noises. + +But the cat did not care. It ignored them and kept licking its paw. It did not want to be in their show. + +Sara and Tom felt sad and jealous. They wanted the cat to play with them and be their friend. + +They decided to leave the cat alone and find something else to record. They hoped their parents would like their show anyway. They did not know that the cat was watching them from the hedge. It was not happy and lazy. It was bored and lonely. It wished it had someone to play with and be its friend. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers, birds and trees. They also saw a big statue of a man on a horse. Lily and Ben wanted to touch the statue, but their mom said no. + +"Why not?" Lily asked. + +"Because the statue is old and we have to be careful. We can look at it, but not touch it," their mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded, but they were still curious. They looked at the statue's face, clothes and sword. They wondered who he was and what he did. + +"Mom, who is this man?" Ben asked. + +"He was a king a long time ago. He was brave and kind, and he helped many people," their mom said. + +"Wow, he sounds nice," Lily said. + +"Yes, he was. He was also very sweet to his horse. He always gave him apples and carrots," their mom said. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They liked animals and they liked sweet people. They wished they could meet the king and his horse. + +"Mom, can we stay here a little longer?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but not too long.

They imagined the king and his horse riding through the park, waving to them and giving them apples and carrots. They felt happy and warm. They did not want to leave. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a doll that she loved very much. She dressed her up and combed her hair. Ben had a car that he zoomed around the floor. He liked to make it go fast and loud. + +But then, Ben saw Lily's doll and wanted to play with it. He grabbed it from Lily and ran away. Lily was very sad and angry. She chased after Ben and tried to get her doll back. They both pulled and tugged on the doll until it ripped. The doll's arm came off and fell on the floor. Lily and Ben stopped and looked at the doll. They both felt sorry and bad. + +Lily started to weep. She hugged the doll and cried. "You broke my doll! You are mean!" she said to Ben. Ben also wept. He dropped the car and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted to play with your doll. I didn't mean to break it. You are nice." + +They both looked around and saw a roll of tape on the table. They had an idea. They took the tape and wrapped it around the doll's arm. They tried to make it stick and look good. They worked together and helped each other. They fixed the doll and made it whole again. + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged. They said sorry and thank you to each other. They learned to share and be careful with their toys. They decided to play together and be playful. They took turns with the doll and the car. They had more fun and made more noises.

Ben and Lily want to see the truck. + +"Mom, can we go see the truck?" Ben asks. + +"No, you have to stay here. The street is not safe. There is a lot of traffic. You have to listen to me," Mom says. + +"But we want to see the truck. It is so big and cool," Lily says. + +"I know, but you have to be careful. The traffic can hurt you. You have to wait for the green light. And you have to hold my hand," Mom says. + +Ben and Lily are not happy. They pout and cross their arms. They do not want to listen to Mom. They want to see the truck. + +Then, they hear a gentle voice. It is the truck driver. He sees Ben and Lily. He smiles and waves at them. + +"Hi, kids. Do you like my truck?" he says. + +"Yes, we do. It is awesome," Ben and Lily say. + +"Thank you. I have to deliver some boxes. But if you wait for a minute, I can show you my truck. You can sit in the front and honk the horn. How does that sound?" he says. + +Ben and Lily are very excited. They look at Mom. Mom nods and smiles. + +"OK, but you have to listen to the truck driver. He knows how to be safe in the traffic.

He is very nice. He shows them his truck. He lets them sit in the front and honk the horn. Ben and Lily have a lot of fun. They thank the truck driver. They go back to the park. They listen to Mom. They are happy. +Lily and Max liked to play in the garage. They had many toys and games there. They also had a big box of old clothes that they used for dress-up. One day, they decided to separate the clothes into different piles. Lily wanted to make a pile of dresses and skirts, and Max wanted to make a pile of hats and scarves. + +"Look, Lily, I found a funny hat!" Max said, putting a green hat with a feather on his head. + +"That's not a hat, that's a lampshade!" Lily said, laughing. "You look silly, Max!" + +Max laughed too. He liked to make Lily laugh. He took off the lampshade and put it on Lily's head. "Now you look silly, Lily!" + +They giggled and tried on different clothes. They made a mess in the garage, but they did not care. They were having fun. + +Soon, they heard their mom calling them. "Lily, Max, it's time for lunch! Come inside, please!" + +They took off the clothes and put them back in the box. They ran to the door, but then they stopped. They saw their dad sitting on a chair in the garage. He looked sad. He had a suitcase next to him. + +"Hi, dad," Lily said, walking over to him. "Are you coming for lunch?" + +Dad smiled, but it was not a happy smile. He hugged Lily and Max. "No, sweeties, I'm not coming for lunch. I have to go away for a while. Mommy and I need some time to separate." + +Lily and Max did not understand. They felt confused and scared. They loved their dad. They did not want him to go away. + +"Why, dad? Why do you have to separate?" Max asked, holding his dad's hand. + +Dad sighed. He looked at mom, who was standing at the door. She looked sad too. She nodded at dad. + +Dad said, "Sometimes, grown-ups have problems that they can't fix. Sometimes, they need some space to think and feel. Mommy and I still love you very much, but we can't live together right now. We hope you understand." + +Lily and Max did not understand. They felt angry and sad. They did not want their parents to separate. They wanted them to stay together and be happy. + +They hugged their dad and cried. They said, "Please, dad, don't go. Please, stay with us. We love you." + +Dad hugged them back and cried too. He said, "I love you too, sweeties. I will always love you. I will call you and visit you as often as I can. You can always talk to me and tell me how you feel. I'm sorry, I have to go." + +He kissed them and picked up his suitcase. He walked to the door, where mom was waiting. He kissed her and said, "Goodbye, honey. Take care of them." + +Mom kissed him and said, "Goodbye, dear. Take care of yourself." + +Dad left the garage and got in his car. He waved at Lily and Max, who waved back. They watched him drive away, until they could not see him anymore. + +They ran to mom and hugged her. She hugged them and said, "It's okay, sweeties. It's okay to cry. It's okay to be sad. I'm here for you. I love you." + +They cried together, in the garage. They felt lonely and hurt. They wished dad would come back. They wished things would be the same as before. + +Mom said, "Let's go inside, sweeties. Let's have some lunch. You must be hungry." + +They nodded and followed mom. They left the garage, where their toys and games and clothes were. They did not feel like playing anymore. They felt like nothing was fun anymore. + +They went inside, where it was warm and cozy. They sat at the table, where mom had made them sandwiches and juice. They ate and drank, but they did not talk much. They did not feel like talking anymore. They felt like nothing was comfortable anymore. +Tim and Jen love to play with trains. They have a big box of train toys and a long track that goes around their room. They like to make the trains go fast and slow, and make noises like choo-choo and beep-beep. + +One day, Tim and Jen receive a new train toy from their grandma. It is a shiny red train with a big smokestack and a loud whistle. They are very happy and thank their grandma. They take the train out of the box and put it on the track. They push the button and the train starts to move. + +But something is wrong. The train does not go smoothly on the track. It bumps and stops and makes strange sounds. Tim and Jen look at the train and see that it is not like their other train toys. It is made of plastic and has stickers instead of paint. It is a fake train. + +"Grandma, this train is not good," Tim says. "It does not work well on the track. It is not a real train." + +"Oh, I'm sorry, my dears," grandma says. "I did not know it was a fake train. I bought it from a man who said it was a special train. He lied to me." + +"That's not nice," Jen says. "He should not lie to people. He should give you back your money." + +"Yes, he should," grandma says. "But I don't know where he is. He was at the market, but he may be gone now." + +"Maybe we can find him," Tim says. "We can take the fake train and show him. We can tell him to give you a real train or your money." + +"Are you sure?" grandma says. "It may be hard to find him. And he may not listen to you." + +"We can try," Jen says. "We are brave and smart. And we have each other." + +"OK, then," grandma says. "But be careful. And don't go too far. I will wait for you here." + +Tim and Jen nod and take the fake train. They put on their coats and hats and go outside. They walk to the market, holding hands. They look for the man who sold the fake train to their grandma. They hope they can find him and make him do the right thing. They do not know that the man is watching them from behind a stall, and that he has a plan to trick them again. +Lily was going to visit the doctor today. She did not like the doctor. The doctor gave her an exam. The exam hurt her arm and made her cry. Lily did not want to go. + +"Come on, Lily, it's time to go," Mom said. She put on Lily's coat and hat. "The doctor is nice. He will help you feel better." + +"No, no, no!" Lily shouted. She ran away and hid under the bed. She did not want to wear a coat and hat. She did not want to see the doctor. She was naughty. + +Mom looked for Lily. She found her under the bed. She pulled her out and hugged her. "Lily, I know you are scared, but you have to go. The doctor will give you a sticker and a lollipop after the exam. It will be over soon." + +Lily sniffed and wiped her eyes. She did not like stickers and lollipops. She liked toys and books. But she loved Mom. She did not want to make Mom sad. She said sorry and held Mom's hand. They went to the car and drove to the doctor. + +The doctor was kind. He smiled and said hello. He checked Lily's ears, nose, mouth and throat. He listened to her heart and lungs. He measured her height and weight. He gave her a shot in her arm. It hurt a little, but Lily was brave. She did not cry. + +"Good job, Lily!" the doctor said. He gave her a sticker and a lollipop. "You are healthy and strong. You can go home now." + +Lily smiled and said thank you. She gave the doctor a hug. She was not naughty anymore. She was good. She was happy. She went home with Mom. She played with her toys and read her books. She felt better. She liked the doctor. She would visit him again. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the yard. One day, they find a big metal box under a tree. It is blue and shiny. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tim says. He pulls on the lid, but it does not move. Sam helps him, but it is still stuck. + +"Maybe it is locked," Sam says. He looks for a keyhole, but he does not see one. He sees a button instead. It is red and round. + +"What does this do?" Sam asks. He pushes the button. + +The metal box makes a loud noise. It opens by itself. Tim and Sam are surprised. They see a robot inside. It is also blue and shiny. It has two eyes, a mouth, and four arms. It blinks at them. + +"Hello, I am Robo," the robot says. "Who are you?" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They run away from the metal box. They hide behind the tree. + +"Is it friendly?" Tim whispers. + +"I don't know," Sam whispers back. "Maybe we should talk to it." + +They peek from the tree. The robot is still in the metal box. It looks lonely. + +"Hi, Robo," Tim says. He walks towards the metal box. Sam follows him. + +"Hi, Tim and Sam," Robo says. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Tim and Sam nod. They are curious. They ask Robo many questions. Robo tells them he is from another planet. He came to Earth to learn and have fun. He likes to play games, tell jokes, and sing songs. + +Tim and Sam are happy. They make a new friend. They play with Robo all afternoon. They share their toys with him. They laugh and have fun. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the plants and smell the flowers. Lily saw a big plant with red and yellow spots. She wanted to touch it. + +"Look, Ben, a pretty plant!" she said. + +Ben came closer and looked at the plant. He saw that it had sharp teeth and a long tongue. He felt scared. + +"No, Lily, don't touch it! It is a scary plant!" he said. + +But Lily did not listen. She reached out her hand and touched the plant. The plant snapped at her and bit her finger. Lily cried out and dropped the plant. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" she said. + +Ben ran to her and hugged her. He saw blood on her finger. He was worried. + +"Let's go to Mommy. She will make it better," he said. + +They ran to the house and found Mommy. She saw Lily's finger and cleaned it. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. + +"There, there, Lily. You are brave. The plant was mean. Don't touch it again," she said. + +Lily nodded and hugged Mommy. She felt better. Ben hugged her too. He was glad she was okay. + +They learned a lesson. They did not touch the scary plant again. They played with the nice plants instead. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big box of crayons in the classroom. They are very happy and want to use all the colors. + +"Look, I draw a sun!" Sara says, showing Ben her yellow circle. "It is a symbol of light and warmth." + +"That is nice, Sara. I draw a star!" Ben says, showing Sara his blue pointy shape. "It is a symbol of night and dreams." + +They smile and hug each other. They are proud of their symbols. + +But then, a mean boy comes and takes their crayons. He breaks them and throws them on the floor. He laughs and runs away. + +Sara and Ben are very sad. They suffer because their crayons are gone. They cry and hug each other. + +"Who did this?" a teacher asks, seeing the mess. She is angry and worried. + +"It was him!" Sara and Ben say, pointing at the mean boy. "He took our crayons and broke them!" + +The teacher goes to the mean boy and scolds him. She makes him pick up the crayons and say sorry to Sara and Ben. She gives them new crayons and a smooth paper. + +"Here, you can draw again. I am sorry for what happened. You are good children and you deserve to be happy." the teacher says, smiling. + +Sara and Ben smile too. They thank the teacher and start to draw again. They draw their symbols and more. They are happy and forget their suffering. They are friends. +Lily likes to write. She writes on paper, on walls, on books, on anything. She writes her name, her mom's name, her dad's name, and some words she knows. She writes with crayons, with pens, with markers, and with paint. + +One day, Lily's mom has a meeting. She tells Lily to stay in her room and play quietly. She says she will be back soon. Lily says okay, but she is bored. She wants to write something new. She looks around her room and sees her mom's laptop. She thinks it is a good place to write. + +She takes the laptop and opens it. She sees a lot of letters and numbers on the screen. She does not know what they mean, but she thinks they are stupid. She presses some buttons and makes them go away. Then she writes her name, her mom's name, her dad's name, and some words she knows. She writes with her fingers, with her nails, with her teeth, and with her tongue. + +She is very happy. She thinks she is a good writer. She does not hear her mom coming back. She does not see her mom's face when she sees the laptop. She does not understand why her mom is angry. She does not like her mom's voice when she says, "Lily, what did you do? You ruined my laptop! You ruined my meeting! You are a very naughty girl!" + +Lily feels sad. She does not want to be naughty. She wants to be a good writer. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to write. I love you, mom. Do you love me?" +Tom and Mia went to the park with their mom. They saw many birds near the pond. They liked to watch them swim and fly. They saw ducks, geese, and one big white bird. + +"Look, mom, what is that bird?" Tom asked. + +"That is a swan, Tom. It is a very beautiful and graceful bird," mom said. + +"Can we feed it, mom?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, we can. But we have to be careful and gentle. Swans can be shy and scared of people sometimes," mom said. + +They took some bread from their bag and walked slowly to the pond. The swan saw them and swam closer. It stretched its long neck and took some bread from Tom's hand. It made a soft sound. + +"Hello, swan. You are very pretty," Tom said. + +"Thank you, little boy. You are very kind," the swan said. + +Tom and Mia were surprised. They did not know that swans could talk. + +"Wow, you can talk, swan. How do you know our words?" Mia asked. + +"I learned them from listening to people. I like to hear stories and songs. But I do not talk to many people. They are often loud and rude. They throw stones and trash at me and my friends. They make me sad and angry," the swan said. + +"That is not nice, swan. We are sorry that people are mean to you. We are not like that. We are your friends. We like you and your friends. We want to learn more about you," Tom said. + +The swan smiled. It liked Tom and Mia. They were humble and sweet. They did not want to hurt or bother it. They wanted to discuss and share. + +"Thank you, little girl and boy. You are very nice. I like you too. I am your friend. I can tell you more about me and my friends. We have many things to discuss," the swan said. + +And so they did. They talked and laughed and learned. They fed the swan and its friends. They played and sang and had fun. They had a wonderful time at the park. They made a new friend. A humble and beautiful swan. +Sara was a young girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to learn how to cook yummy things like cookies and soup. One day, she saw her mom put a big pot on the stove and turn on the fire. Sara was curious and wanted to see what was inside the pot. + +"Mom, what are you cooking?" she asked. + +"I'm making chicken soup for dinner, Sara. Do you want to help me?" her mom said. + +"Yes, please!" Sara said. She climbed on a chair and looked at the pot. She saw carrots, celery, and chicken in the water. It smelled good. + +"Can I stir the soup, mom?" she asked. + +"Sure, but be careful, Sara. The pot is very hot and the fire is very hot. You have to use this spoon and hold it with this glove. Don't touch the pot or the fire, okay?" her mom said. + +"Okay, mom. I will be careful." Sara said. She took the spoon and the glove and stirred the soup slowly. She felt proud and happy. + +"Good job, Sara. You are a great helper. Do you want to taste the soup?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, please!" Sara said. Her mom gave her a small bowl of soup and a spoon. Sara blew on the soup and took a sip. It was warm and tasty. + +"Mmm, this is the best soup ever, mom. Thank you for teaching me how to cook." Sara said. + +"You're welcome, Sara. I love you." her mom said. + +"I love you too, mom." Sara said. They hugged and smiled. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with red fruits. They wondered what they were. + +"Can we eat them?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are yummy. Maybe they are bad," Tom said. + +They looked around and saw a squirrel. The squirrel was holding a red fruit in its mouth. It was eating it and making happy noises. + +"Look, the squirrel likes them. Maybe we can try them too," Lily said. + +She picked a fruit and took a bite. It was sweet and juicy. She smiled and gave one to Tom. + +"Yummy!" Tom said. He ate his fruit and licked his lips. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was their mom. + +"Hi, kids. What are you eating?" she asked. + +"They are red fruits from the tree. The squirrel showed us. They are yummy!" Lily said. + +Mom looked at the tree and the fruits. She recognized them. They were wild cherries. + +"Wow, you found some wild cherries. They are yummy, indeed. But you have to be careful. Not all fruits are good for you. Some can make you sick. You should always ask me or dad before you eat something new, okay?" she said. + +"Okay, mom. We are sorry. We didn't know," Tom and Lily said. + +Mom hugged them and smiled. + +"It's okay. I'm glad you are having fun. And I'm glad you shared with the squirrel. He must be your friend. Do you want to suggest a name for him?" she asked. + +Tom and Lily thought for a moment. Then they said together: + +"Cherry!" +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their bikes in the park. Their bikes have big wheels and bright colors. Lila's bike is red and Ben's bike is blue. + +One day, they see a new bike in the park. It has a very big wheel in the front and a very small wheel in the back. It looks funny and cool. Lila and Ben want to try it. + +They go to the boy who owns the bike. His name is Sam. They ask him, "Can we ride your bike, please?" + +Sam says, "No, you can't. This is my bike. It is special. It is spicy. You are too small to ride it. You might fall and hurt yourself." + +Lila and Ben feel sad and angry. They think Sam is mean and rude. They say, "That is not nice. You should share your bike. We share our bikes with our friends. Your bike is not spicy. It is silly." + +Sam says, "No, it is not. It is spicy. It is fast and fun. You don't know anything about bikes. Go away and leave me alone." + +Lila and Ben go away. They find their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Their mom and dad say, "That is not good. Sam should not be so selfish. He should allow you to ride his bike for a little while. Maybe he is lonely and scared. Maybe he needs a friend." + +Lila and Ben think about it. They feel sorry for Sam. They decide to try again. They go back to Sam. They say, "We are sorry we made you mad. We just wanted to try your bike. It looks very fun. We like your bike. We like you. Do you want to play with us?" + +Sam looks surprised. He says, "You do? You like me? You want to play with me?" + +Lila and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, we do. We can play with our bikes together. We can take turns. We can have fun. We can be friends." + +Sam smiles. He says, "OK. That sounds good. You can ride my bike for a little while. I can ride your bikes too. They look nice. They are not silly. They are cool." + +Lila and Ben smile too. They say, "Thank you. You are not mean. You are nice. You are cool too." + +They ride their bikes together. They have fun. They become friends. They learn that sharing is caring. They learn that spicy is not always better. They learn that different is not always bad. They learn that bikes are fun. They learn that friends are fun too. +Tommy was a boy who hated to share. He had many toys, but he never let his sister Lily play with them. He always said, "Mine, mine, mine!" and pushed her away. + +One day, mother brought home a new toy for Lily. It was a big, fluffy teddy bear that could talk and sing. Lily was very happy and hugged the bear. She said, "Thank you, mother! I love you and I love my bear!" + +Tommy was envious. He wanted the bear for himself. He thought, "That bear is better than my toys. I should have it. Lily does not deserve it." He waited until Lily was asleep and sneaked into her room. He grabbed the bear and ran to his room. + +But the bear did not like Tommy. It said, "Hey, you are not my friend. You are a mean boy. Give me back to Lily. She is my friend. She is nice and kind." The bear started to cry and make loud noises. + +Mother heard the noise and came to Tommy's room. She saw Tommy holding the bear and Lily crying in her room. She was angry and said, "Tommy, what did you do? Why did you take Lily's bear? That was very wrong and selfish of you. You should be ashamed of yourself." + +Tommy felt sorry and scared. He said, "I'm sorry, mother. I'm sorry, Lily. I was envious. I wanted the bear. But I was wrong. I don't hate Lily. I love her. She is my sister. Can I give her back the bear and say sorry?" + +Mother said, "Yes, you can. But you have to learn to share and be happy for others. You have to be grateful for what you have and not want what others have. That is the right thing to do. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "I understand, mother. I will try to be better. I will share and be happy for Lily. I will not be envious anymore." He hugged mother and gave the bear back to Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. Can we be friends?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, we can. I love you too. Thank you for giving me back my bear. He is my friend, but you can play with him too. We can share and have fun together." + +Tommy and Lily hugged and played with the bear. Mother was proud and happy. She said, "That's my good children. I love you both. Sharing is caring. And caring is loving." +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a red automobile that could move by itself. They liked to pretend they were driving to different places and having adventures. + +One day, their mother told them she had to go to the store and asked them to stay in the house and be good. She said she would be back soon and gave them a kiss. Sara and Ben said goodbye and watched her leave in her own automobile. + +At first, they played nicely with their red automobile, taking turns and sharing. But after a while, they became restless and bored. They wanted to go outside and see what was happening. They looked at the door and saw that their mother had left it open a little. + +"Let's go outside and play with our automobile," Ben said. "It will be more fun." + +"No, we can't," Sara said. "Mother told us to stay in the house. She will be angry if we go outside." + +"But she won't know," Ben said. "We will be back before she comes. Come on, it will be fun." + +Sara was not sure, but she liked her brother and wanted to make him happy. She agreed to go outside with him and their automobile. They sneaked out of the door and ran to the street. + +They did not see the big truck that was coming fast. They did not hear the horn that was honking loud. They only saw their red automobile that was rolling away from them. They ran after it, not looking where they were going. + +The truck driver saw them and tried to stop, but it was too late. He hit the red automobile and sent it flying in the air. He also hit Sara and Ben and knocked them down. They felt a lot of pain and started to cry. + +Their mother heard the noise and came back. She saw the truck and the red automobile and her children on the ground. She ran to them and hugged them. She was very scared and sad. She called for help and waited for the ambulance. + +Sara and Ben were taken to the hospital. They had many bruises and cuts and broken bones. They had to stay in the hospital for a long time and get a lot of medicine and bandages. They missed their home and their toys and their mother. + +They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned that they should listen to their mother and obey her rules. They learned that they should not go outside without her permission. They learned that they should be careful and look both ways before crossing the street. They learned that playing with their red automobile was not worth risking their lives. They learned that they loved each other and their mother very much. They learned to be good and grateful. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but they also like to do different things. Lily likes to draw and paint. Ben likes to build and fix. They have a big room with many toys and tools. + +One day, they decide to make a nation. A nation is a place where people live and work. They use a big map and some stickers to mark their nation. Lily wants to make her nation pretty and colorful. She uses pink and purple stickers. Ben wants to make his nation strong and smart. He uses blue and green stickers. + +They start to work on their nation. Lily draws flowers and stars on her side of the map. Ben builds bridges and towers on his side of the map. They are happy and proud of their work. But soon, they run out of space. Lily wants to draw more on Ben's side. Ben wants to build more on Lily's side. They start to argue. + +"Stop! This is my nation! You can't draw on it!" Ben says. + +"No, this is our nation! You can't build on it!" Lily says. + +They push and pull the map. They tear the stickers. They make a big mess. They are angry and sad. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees the map and the stickers. She sees Lily and Ben crying. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. + +"We were making a nation, but we had a fight," Lily says. + +"We wanted to make our nation unique, but we couldn't agree," Ben says. + +Mom hugs them and wipes their tears. She looks at the map and the stickers. + +"I see. You both have great ideas and skills. But you also need to share and cooperate. A nation is not only unique, but also united. Do you know what that means?" Mom asks. + +Lily and Ben shake their heads. + +"It means that people work together and help each other. They respect and appreciate their differences. They make their nation better and happier. Do you want to try that?" Mom asks. + +Lily and Ben nod their heads. + +"Okay, then. Let's fix the map and the stickers. Let's make a new nation. A nation that is unique and united. A nation that is yours and mine. A nation that is ours," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben smile and hug Mom. They work together and make a new nation. A nation that is pretty and strong. A nation that is colorful and smart. A nation that is happy and proud. A nation that is unique and united. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big red truck that he liked to zoom around the floor. Lily had a doll that she liked to hug and dress up. They were having fun until Tom saw Lily's doll. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Tom asked Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "You have your truck, I have my doll." + +"But I want to see your doll!" Tom said. He tried to grab the doll from Lily, but she held on tight. + +"Let go of my doll!" Lily shouted. "It's not for you!" + +They pulled and tugged on the doll until it ripped in half. Lily gasped and dropped the doll. Tom looked at the doll and saw that it was fake. It had no stuffing inside, only paper and wires. + +"Your doll is fake!" Tom said. "It's not a real doll!" + +Lily started to weep. She loved her doll, even if it was fake. She didn't care what was inside, she cared how it made her feel. She felt sad and angry at Tom for breaking her doll. + +"Go away!" Lily cried. "You are a bad boy! You broke my doll!" + +Tom felt sorry for Lily. He didn't mean to break her doll. He just wanted to play with it. He wished he could fix it, but he didn't know how. He looked at his truck and had an idea. + +"Wait, Lily!" Tom said. "I have something for you!" + +He ran to his truck and brought it to Lily. He offered it to her with a smile. + +"Here, you can have my truck!" Tom said. "It's a real truck! It can go fast and make noises!" + +Lily looked at the truck and then at Tom. She saw that he was trying to be nice. She wiped her tears and took the truck. + +"Thank you, Tom," Lily said. "You are a good boy. You gave me your truck." + +They hugged and smiled. They decided to share their toys and play together. They were happy again. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One morning, they saw a lot of white stuff in the air. It was fog. They had never seen fog before. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see," Ben said. + +They put on their coats and boots and ran outside. The fog was thick and cold. They could not see very far. They could not see their house or their mom. + +"Where are we?" Lily said. She was scared. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should go back," Ben said. + +But they did not know which way to go. They walked and walked, but they only got more lost. They called for their mom, but she did not hear them. The fog did not go away. + +They saw a big black car coming fast. It did not see them. It hit them. They fell down. They did not get up. They did not play anymore. +Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see a big cup on the table. It is full of hot tea. Anna wants to drink some tea. She says to Ben, "I want tea. Give me the cup." + +Ben says, "No, Anna. The cup is hot. You will burn your mouth. We have to stay away from the cup. Mommy said so. She said, 'Be careful with the cup. It is not for children.'" + +Anna does not listen to Ben. She reaches for the cup. She grabs the handle. The cup is very hot. Anna drops the cup. The tea spills on the floor. Anna cries. She says, "Ow, ow, ow! The cup is hot. It hurts my hand." + +Ben runs to get Mommy. He says, "Mommy, Mommy! Anna touched the cup. The cup is hot. The tea is on the floor. Anna is crying." + +Mommy comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She sees Anna's hand. She says, "Oh, no! Anna, you are hurt. Why did you touch the cup? You have to be careful with the cup. It is not for children. It is for grown-ups." + +Mommy takes Anna to the sink. She puts cold water on Anna's hand. She says, "This will make it feel better. I'm sorry, Anna. You have to listen to Ben. He was right. You have to stay away from the cup. Next time, you can have some juice. Juice is not hot. Juice is for children." + +Anna says, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Ben. I was wrong. I will not touch the cup again. I will stay away from the cup. I will be careful with the cup. Can I have some juice, please?" + +Mommy says, "Yes, you can have some juice. But first, we have to clean up the floor. We have to be careful with the tea. It is hot. It can stain. It can make us slip. Can you help me, Anna and Ben?" + +Anna and Ben say, "Yes, Mommy. We will help you. We will be careful with the tea. We will clean up the floor. We will be good children." +Sara was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Lily. Lily had long hair that Sara liked to brush and make into different styles. Sara also liked to talk to Lily and pretend that she was her friend. + +One day, Sara's mom told her that they had a new neighbor. She said that the neighbor had a little boy who was Sara's age. She asked Sara if she wanted to go and say hello to him. Sara was curious, but also shy. She wondered if the boy would like to play with her and Lily. + +Sara and her mom went to the neighbor's house and knocked on the door. A woman opened the door and smiled. She said, "Hello, we are the Smiths. Welcome to the neighborhood. This is my son, Ben." She pointed to a little boy who was standing behind her. He had short hair and a blue shirt. + +Sara's mom said, "Hello, we are the Jones. This is my daughter, Sara. She is very happy to meet you." She nudged Sara to say something. + +Sara looked at Ben and said, "Hi, Ben. I like your shirt. Do you want to see my doll?" She held up Lily and showed her to him. + +Ben looked at Lily and said, "Hi, Sara. I like your doll. She has pretty hair. Do you have a brush for her?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I have a pink brush. I can brush her hair and make her look nice. Do you want to help me?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun. Can we play in your yard?" + +Sara's mom and Ben's mom agreed to let them play in Sara's yard. They gave them some cookies and juice and watched them go. Sara and Ben became friends and played with Lily and the brush. They had a lot of fun and learned to share and be kind. They were happy to have each other as neighbors. +Lily and Lila are twins. They look the same. They have long, pretty hair and big, blue eyes. They like to play together and share their toys. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a big slide and run to it. They take turns to slide down and laugh. They have fun. + +"Look, mom, we are so fast!" Lily says. + +"Yes, you are, my sweet girls!" mom says. + +Then, they see a boy with a ball. He is alone and looks sad. Lily and Lila want to play with him. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Lila asks. + +"I'm Tom," the boy says. + +"Do you want to play with us?" Lily asks. + +"OK," Tom says. + +They give him a smile and come to him. They kick the ball and run after it. They make new friends. + +"Mom, look, we have a new friend!" Lila says. + +"That's wonderful, my lovely girls!" mom says. + +Lily, Lila and Tom play until it is time to go home. They hug and say goodbye. + +"See you soon!" Lily says. + +"Bye, bye!" Tom says. + +They wave and leave. They are happy. +Sara liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw something new in the garden. It was a bird. But it was not like the other birds she knew. It was purple! + +Sara was very curious. She wanted to see the purple bird better. She walked slowly and quietly towards the bird. She did not want to scare it away. The bird was sitting on a branch. It had a long tail and a shiny beak. It looked at Sara with bright eyes. + +Sara reached the branch. She said hello to the bird. The bird said hello back. Sara was surprised. She did not know birds could talk. She asked the bird what its name was. The bird said its name was Zara. Sara smiled. She liked the bird's name. It was like her name. + +Sara and Zara became friends. They talked and played in the garden. Sara learned that Zara came from a faraway land. Zara learned that Sara liked to draw and sing. They had a lot of fun together. Sara was happy. She had discovered a new friend. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They like to pretend they are detectives and solve mysteries. Sara has a magnifying glass and Ben has a notebook and a pencil. + +"Look, Ben, I found a clue!" Sara says, pointing to a wet spot on the carpet. "Someone spilled water here. Maybe it was the cat. Let's follow the trail and find out." + +"OK, Sara, let's go!" Ben says, writing down the clue in his notebook. They crawl on the floor and follow the wet spot to the kitchen. There they see the cat drinking from a bowl of water. + +"Aha! We solved the mystery!" Sara says, holding up her magnifying glass. "The cat spilled the water and then came here to drink more. Good job, Ben!" + +"Good job, Sara!" Ben says, closing his notebook. "We are the best detectives ever. Let's finish our game and have a snack. I'm hungry." + +"Me too," Sara says, putting down her magnifying glass. "Let's go ask Mom for some cookies and milk. Maybe she has another mystery for us to solve later."

They wanted to eat it, but it was close to the fence where the dog was. Lily was brave and said, "I will get the carrot. You wait here." Ben was scared and said, "Be careful, Lily. The dog might see you." + +Lily hopped to the carrot and bit it. It was sweet and crunchy. She was happy. But then she heard a loud bark. The dog had seen her.

And you have the carrot." Lily said, "Yes, Ben. I have the carrot. But I am weak. The dog scared me. He was big and loud." Ben said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will share the carrot with you. You are strong and smart. You got the carrot for us." + +Lily and Ben ate the carrot together. They were happy and full. They cuddled and said, "We are friends. We help each other. We love carrots."

He has a hammer, a saw, a screwdriver and a wrench. He likes to pretend he is a builder and make things with wood and nails. He has a big box of tools in his room. + +One day, he finds a new tool in his box. It is shiny and has a button. He does not know what it is, but he thinks it looks incredible.

He runs to his mom and shows her his new tool. She smiles and says, "Wow, that is an incredible tool, Ben. Where did you get it?" + +Ben says, "I found it in my box. Can I play with it, mom?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can play with it, but be careful. It is a real tool, not a toy. It can make holes in things. You can only use it with me or dad, and only on the wood outside. Do you understand?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, mom. I understand. Thank you for the incredible tool. I love it!" + +Mom hugs him and says, "You're welcome, Ben. I love you. Now, let's go outside and play with your drill. Maybe we can make something together." +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big tree with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky. + +"Come on, Lila, let's go up!" Ben said.

They laughed and said, "Hello, Mr. Tree, sorry for bothering you." + +They heard a bird sing. It sounded like, "It's okay, it's okay, be happy, be happy." + +Lila and Ben learned that climbing trees can be fun, but also dangerous. They learned that they should be careful and help each other.

When the sister rang the bell, her brother was amazed. He had never heard anything so beautiful. + +The brother and sister were different. But the sound of the ringing bell made them happy. Every time the bell rang, it sounded like it was telling them a secret. + +The brother and sister loved ringing the bell together. It made them feel like they were special. They always knew that when the bell rang, they would be together. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But their favorite thing was to rock on the big pink horse. The horse was very attractive. It had a shiny mane, a long tail and a happy smile. + +"Can I rock on the horse first?" Lily asked Sam. + +"OK, but only for a little while. Then it's my turn," Sam said. + +Lily climbed on the horse and held the handles. She rocked back and forth, feeling the wind in her hair. She pretended she was riding a real horse. She made horse noises and said, "Giddy up, pink horse!" + +Sam watched Lily and waited. He wanted to rock on the horse too. He liked the horse's color and shape. He thought it was the best toy in the park. + +"Lily, can I rock on the horse now?" Sam asked. + +"OK, Sam. You can rock on the horse now. But be careful. Don't rock too hard. The horse might get dizzy," Lily said. + +She got off the horse and helped Sam get on. Sam rocked back and forth, feeling the horse move. He pretended he was a cowboy. He made cowboy noises and said, "Yee-haw, pink horse!" + +Lily and Sam took turns rocking on the horse. They had a lot of fun. They thanked the horse for letting them rock on it. They said, "You are a very attractive pink horse. We love you, pink horse!" +Anna was scared of the doctor. She did not like the white coat and the big glasses. She did not like the smell of the room. She did not like the needle. + +The doctor smiled and said, "Hello, Anna. I am here to help you. You need a needle to make you strong and healthy. It will not hurt much. Just a little pinch." + +Anna shook her head and hid behind her mom. She said, "No, no, no. I do not want a needle. I am strong and healthy. I do not need a needle." + +The doctor said, "I know you are brave, Anna. But sometimes we need a needle to protect us from germs. Germs are very small and bad. They can make us sick. The needle has medicine that can fight the germs. It is like a shield." + +Anna said, "But I have a shield. I have my teddy bear. He can fight the germs. He is my best friend. He does not like needles either." + +The doctor said, "Your teddy bear is very cute and modest. He does not show off. He is a good friend. But he cannot fight the germs by himself. He needs your help. He needs you to be brave and get the needle. Then you can both be safe and happy. Will you do that for him?" + +Anna looked at her teddy bear. He looked at her with his big eyes. He seemed to say, "Please, Anna. I love you. I want you to be well." Anna felt a warm feeling in her heart. She loved her teddy bear too. She did not want him to be sad or scared. She wanted him to be proud of her. + +She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, doctor. I will get the needle. But you have to be gentle. And you have to give me a sticker and a hug afterwards. And you have to give my teddy bear a sticker and a hug too." + +The doctor said, "Deal. You are a very good girl, Anna. You are very kind and smart. I am proud of you. And I am sure your teddy bear is proud of you too." + +He took the needle and gave Anna a quick pinch. She winced and squeezed her teddy bear. But she did not cry. She was brave. She insisted on being brave. The doctor gave her a sticker and a hug. He gave her teddy bear a sticker and a hug too. He said, "You did it, Anna. You are amazing. You are a hero. And so is your teddy bear." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, doctor. You are nice. You are a hero too. You help people and animals. You make them feel better. You are my friend." + +The doctor smiled and said, "You are welcome, Anna. You are my friend too. And so is your teddy bear. Take good care of him. And take good care of yourself. I hope to see you again soon. But not for a needle. Just for a check-up." + +Anna nodded and said, "Okay, doctor. Goodbye. See you soon." + +She waved and left with her mom and her teddy bear. She felt proud and happy. She had done something hard and good. She had helped her teddy bear and herself. She had made a new friend. She had learned a new word. She had learned what it meant to insist. +Bee and Ant are friends. They like to play in the sun and find food. One day, they see a big yellow hive on a tree. Bee says, "That is my home. There are many bees inside. They make honey. Do you want to see?" + +Ant says, "Yes, I want to see. But how can we go up? The tree is very high." + +Bee says, "I can fly. You can ride on my back. Hold on tight. I will take you up." + +Ant says, "OK. Thank you, Bee. You are very kind." + +Bee and Ant fly up to the hive. They see many holes and bees. Bee says, "This is where we live. We work hard to make honey. Honey is sweet and good. Do you want to taste?" + +Ant says, "Yes, I want to taste. But will the other bees be angry?" + +Bee says, "No, they will not be angry. They are my family. They will share with you. Come, I will show you." + +Bee and Ant go inside a hole. They see a lot of honey. Bee says, "This is honey. You can have some. But be careful. Do not eat too much. It will make you sick." + +Ant says, "OK. I will eat a little. Mmm, this is very good. Thank you, Bee. You are very generous." + +Bee and Ant eat some honey. They are happy. They talk and laugh. But then, they hear a loud noise. They look outside. They see dark clouds and rain. Rain is falling hard. Bee says, "Oh no, it is raining. We have to go back. Rain is bad for us. It will make us wet and cold." + +Ant says, "Oh no, I do not like rain. How can we go back? The rain is too strong." + +Bee says, "Do not worry, Ant. I will help you. We will wait for a break. Then, I will fly fast. You will hold on tight. We will be safe." + +Ant says, "OK. I trust you, Bee. You are very brave." + +Bee and Ant wait for a break. They see a gap in the clouds. They see the sun. Bee says, "Now, it is time. Let us go." Bee and Ant fly out of the hive. They fly down to the ground. They avoid the rain. They reach their home. They are dry and warm. Bee says, "We made it. We are safe. I am glad you are OK, Ant." + +Ant says, "We made it. We are safe. I am glad you are OK, Bee. Thank you for showing me your home and sharing your honey. You are a good friend." + +Bee says, "You are welcome, Ant. Thank you for coming with me and being brave. You are a good friend, too." + +Bee and Ant hug. They are happy. They are friends. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big puzzle of a farm. They liked to put the pieces together and make the animals and the plants. + +One day, their parent said they had to go to the store and left them with a babysitter. The babysitter was nice, but she did not know how to play with the puzzle. She mixed up the pieces and made them wrong. Sam and Lily were sad and angry. + +They tried to tell the babysitter to stop, but she did not listen. She said they had to share and be nice. Sam and Lily did not want to share or be nice. They wanted to play with their puzzle the way they liked. + +They had an idea. They decided to unite and work together. They took the pieces from the babysitter and ran to their room. They locked the door and started to fix the puzzle. They were persistent and did not give up. They found the right pieces and matched them. They made the farm again. + +They were happy and proud. They hugged each other and smiled. They heard their parent come back and knock on the door. They opened the door and showed their parent their puzzle. Their parent was happy and proud too. They said they were sorry for leaving them with the babysitter. They said they were smart and brave to unite and fix the puzzle. They said they loved them very much. Sam and Lily said they loved them too. They all hugged and went to have a snack. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was brown and round and had white spots. + +"Look, a mushroom!" Sara said. "Can we eat it?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, no, no. Some mushrooms are bad. They can make you sick. We need to ask Mom first." + +They ran to the house and found Mom in the kitchen. They showed her the mushroom. + +"Mom, can we eat this mushroom?" Sara asked. + +Mom smiled and took the mushroom. She looked at it carefully. + +"This is a new mushroom. I have never seen it before. It might be good, or it might be bad. We don't know. We need to be careful with new things. We should not eat them unless we are sure they are safe." + +She put the mushroom in a bowl and washed her hands. + +"Thank you for showing me the mushroom, Sara and Ben. You are very smart and curious. But you also need to be careful and listen to me. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They realized that Mom was right. They did not want to eat something that could make them sick. They hugged Mom and said sorry. + +"It's okay, my loves. I'm not angry. I'm proud of you for asking me first. Now, how about some cookies and milk?" + +Sara and Ben cheered. They forgot about the mushroom and followed Mom to the table. They ate the cookies and drank the milk. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tent with many colors. They want to enter the tent and see what is inside. + +"Can we go in, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but be careful and stay together," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben enter the tent. They see many people and animals. They see a man with a funny hat and a long nose. He is making balloons for the kids. They see a woman with a big dress and many rings. She is telling stories with cards. They see a boy with a monkey on his shoulder. He is giving nuts to the monkey. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Ben says. + +"Look, there is a plate with cookies!" Lily says. + +They run to the plate and take a cookie each. They bite the cookies and smile. The cookies are very yummy. + +"Hello, little ones," a voice says. + +They turn around and see a man with a beard and a red coat. He is holding a big bag. + +"Who are you?" Lily asks. + +"I am Santa Claus," the man says. "I am here to give gifts to the good children. And you are very good, because you shared the cookies. You are very lucky, because I have a special gift for you." + +He opens his bag and takes out two boxes. He gives one to Lily and one to Ben. + +"What is it?" Ben asks. + +"Open it and see," Santa says. + +Lily and Ben open their boxes. They gasp with joy. Lily has a doll with a pink dress and a hat. Ben has a car with lights and sounds. + +"Thank you, Santa!" they say. + +"You are welcome, my dears," Santa says. "Now, go and enjoy the rest of the carnival. And remember, be good and be happy." + +Lily and Ben hug Santa and run to show their gifts to Mom. They are very happy. They think they are the luckiest kids in the world. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with toy guns and pretend they are spies. One day, they find a big box in the park. They open the box and see many shiny things inside. They are diamonds! + +"Wow, look at these!" Sam says. "We are rich!" + +"Let's take them home!" Ben says. "But we have to be careful. Maybe someone is looking for them." + +They put some diamonds in their pockets and close the box. They run to their bikes. But they hear a loud noise behind them. It is a man with a real gun. He is angry and scary. He is the owner of the diamonds. He wants them back. + +"Stop, you little thieves!" the man yells. "Give me my diamonds or I will shoot you!" + +Sam and Ben are very scared. They do not want to get hurt. They drop their bikes and run away. They throw the diamonds on the ground. They hope the man will not follow them. + +"Help, help!" they scream. "There is a dangerous man with a gun!" + +Some people hear them and call the police. The police come and catch the man. They take him and the diamonds away. They talk to Sam and Ben and their parents. They tell them that the man is a bad guy who stole the diamonds from a store. They say that Sam and Ben are brave and lucky. + +Sam and Ben are happy that they are safe. They hug each other and say sorry. They promise to never play with diamonds again. They only want to play with toy guns and pretend they are spies. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go first, but Ben runs to the slide. He climbs up the ladder and sits on the top. + +"Ben, wait for me!" Anna says. She follows him up the ladder. She wants to slide with him. + +"No, Anna, this is my slide!" Ben says. He pushes Anna away. Anna falls off the ladder. She hurts her knee and her eye. She cries. + +Mom and dad hear Anna cry. They run to her. They see her knee and her eye. They are red and sore. + +"Oh, Anna, what happened?" Mom asks. She hugs Anna and kisses her knee and her eye. She makes them warm. + +"Ben pushed me!" Anna says. She points to Ben. Ben is still on the slide. He looks scared. + +"Ben, is that true?" Dad asks. He goes to the slide. He helps Ben down. He looks at him with a sad eye. + +"Ben, why did you push Anna?" Dad asks. He makes his voice low. + +"I wanted the slide!" Ben says. He struggles to say sorry. He knows he was bad. + +"Ben, the slide is for everyone. You have to share with Anna. She is your sister. You have to be nice to her." Dad says. He makes his voice warm. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I'm sorry, dad." Ben says. He goes to Anna. He hugs her and kisses her knee and her eye. He makes them warm. + +"It's okay, Ben. I forgive you." Anna says. She smiles at him. She makes her eye warm. + +Mom and dad smile too. They are happy. They take Anna and Ben to the slide. They slide together. They have fun. They are a warm family. +Sara is a big girl who likes to do things by herself. She does not want her mother to help her with anything. She is very independent. + +One day, Sara and her mother go to the park. Sara sees a big slide and runs to it. She wants to go down the slide by herself. Her mother says, "Sara, wait for me. The slide is too high for you. You need to hold my hand." + +But Sara does not listen. She insists, "No, I can do it. I am a big girl. Let me go." She pushes her mother away and climbs up the ladder. + +Her mother is worried. She follows Sara and tries to catch her. But Sara is too fast. She reaches the top of the slide and sits down. She smiles and says, "Look, I did it. I am a big girl." + +But then, something bad happens. Sara loses her balance and falls off the slide. She hits her head on the ground and starts to cry. She is hurt and scared. + +Her mother runs to her and hugs her. She says, "Sara, Sara, are you okay? I told you to wait for me. The slide was too high for you. You need to listen to me. I love you and I want to keep you safe." + +Sara feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, mother. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I love you too. Please don't be mad at me." + +Her mother is not mad. She is sad and worried. She says, "I'm not mad, Sara. But you need to be careful. You are a big girl, but you still need my help sometimes. You are not independent all the time." + +She takes Sara to the doctor. The doctor says Sara has a bump on her head and a bruise on her arm. He gives her a band-aid and a sticker. He says, "Sara, you are brave, but you are also lucky. You could have been hurt worse. Next time, listen to your mother. She knows what is best for you." + +Sara nods. She learns her lesson. She says, "Thank you, doctor. I will listen to my mother next time. I will be more careful." + +She hugs her mother and says, "I'm sorry, mother. I love you." + +Her mother hugs her back and says, "I love you too, Sara. You are my big girl, but you are also my baby." +Tim and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a big tap with water. They want to make a pool. They turn the tap and water comes out. They are happy. + +But then, Mom comes out. She is angry. She says, "Stop! You are wasting water! You are making a mess! Come inside now!" + +Tim and Mia are scared. They do not want to go inside. They want to play more. They look at each other. They have an idea. They run away from Mom. They escape. + +They hide behind a bush. They are quiet. They wait for Mom to go away. They are alert. They hear Mom calling them. She sounds worried. She says, "Tim! Mia! Where are you? Come back! I'm sorry! I love you!" + +Tim and Mia feel sorry too. They love Mom. They do not want to make her sad. They come out of the bush. They say, "We are here, Mom! We are sorry too! We love you!" + +Mom hugs them. She says, "I'm glad you are safe. I was scared. I know you were having fun, but you have to be careful with water. It is precious. Can you help me clean up the garden?" + +Tim and Mia nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We can help. We are sorry for wasting water. We will be careful next time." + +They go to the tap. They turn it off. They help Mom clean up the water. They are happy. They learn a lesson. They do not escape again. +Anna was a big girl who liked to go to school. She had a folder with her name on it, where she kept her drawings and letters. She was proud of her folder and always carried it with her. + +One day, she met a new boy in her class. His name was Leo and he had curly hair and a charming smile. He said hello to Anna and asked her what was in her folder. + +"This is my folder," Anna said. "It has my work and my art. Do you want to see?" + +Leo nodded and Anna opened her folder. She showed him her pictures of flowers, animals and rainbows. Leo liked them and said they were very pretty. He also showed Anna his folder, which had stickers, numbers and cars. Anna liked them and said they were very cool. + +They decided to be friends and share their folders. They carried them together to the playground, where they played and talked. They had fun and learned from each other. Anna and Leo were happy and their folders were full of new things. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pick the prunes from the tree and eat them. They were sweet and juicy. + +"Look, I found a big one!" Lily said, holding a prune in her hand. + +"Let me see!" Tom said, and grabbed the prune from Lily. He bit into it and made a face. "Yuck! This one is bad! It tastes like dirt!" + +He threw the prune on the ground and looked for another one. Lily was angry. She wanted her prune back. + +"Hey, that was mine! You can't just take it and throw it away!" she said. + +"Too bad! It was yucky anyway. Find another one!" Tom said. + +Lily looked around, but she couldn't find any more prunes. They were all gone. She started to cry. + +"Stop crying! It's just a prune!" Tom said. + +"No, it's not! It was my prune and you took it! You have to replace it!" Lily said. + +"Replace it? How? There are no more prunes!" Tom said. + +"Then you have to give me something else! Something nice!" Lily said. + +"Like what?" Tom said. + +Lily saw a red flower in a pot. It looked pretty and smelled good. She pointed to it. + +"Like that! Give me that flower!" she said. + +Tom rolled his eyes. He didn't care about flowers. He walked over to the pot and pulled the flower out. He gave it to Lily. + +"Here, take it. It's just a flower. Happy now?" he said. + +Lily smiled and took the flower. She smelled it and put it in her hair. She felt better. + +"Thank you, Tom. This is a nice flower. I like it." she said. + +Tom shrugged. He was bored. He looked for something else to do. He saw a hose on the wall. He had an idea. He turned on the tap and grabbed the hose. He aimed it at Lily. + +"Hey, Lily! Watch this!" he said, and sprayed water at her. + +Lily screamed. The water was hot. It burned her skin and her eyes. It ruined her flower and her dress. She dropped the flower and ran away. She was hurt and scared. + +"Tom! Why did you do that? That was mean! That was hot!" she said. + +Tom laughed. He thought it was funny. He didn't care that he hurt Lily. He sprayed more water at her. + +"Ha ha! It's just water! Stop crying! It's fun!" he said. + +Lily ran inside the house. She looked for her mom. She wanted her mom to help her. She wanted her mom to make Tom stop. She wanted her mom to hug her. + +But her mom was not there. She had gone to the shop. She had left a note on the table. + +"Be back soon. Play nice. Love, Mom." + +Lily was alone. She had no one to help her. She had no one to hug her. She had no one to make her feel better. + +She sat on the floor and cried. She wished she had her prune back. She wished she had her flower back. She wished she had her mom back. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with chalk on the sidewalk. They draw flowers, stars, and animals with different colors. They have fun and share their chalk. + +One day, a big dog comes to the sidewalk. He barks and runs towards Anna and Ben. They are scared and drop their chalk. The dog picks up a piece of chalk in his mouth and runs away. + +"Hey, that's our chalk!" Ben shouts. He wants to chase the dog, but Anna stops him. + +"No, Ben, don't go. The dog is big and fast. He might bite you. We can find more chalk later," Anna says. She is compassionate and cares about Ben. + +Ben is sad and angry, but he listens to Anna. He holds her hand and they walk away. They look for a safe place to play. + +They see a park close to the sidewalk. There are swings, slides, and a sandbox. They smile and run to the park. They forget about the dog and the chalk. They have fun and play together. They are happy and grateful. They are still friends. +Lily loved to dance. She danced in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She danced with her doll, her teddy, and her mom. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. She danced because it made her feel good. + +One day, Lily saw a flyer on the wall. It said, "Dance Contest. Win a Big Prize. Sign Up Now." Lily wanted to join. She asked her mom, "Can I go to the dance contest, please?" + +Her mom looked at the flyer and smiled. "Sure, Lily. You can go. But you need to practice a lot. And you need to show your value. Do you know what value means?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not know what value meant. + +Her mom explained, "Value means how much something is worth. How much you care about it. How much you work for it. How much you share it. When you dance, you show your value. You show how much you love dancing, how much you try to dance well, and how much you want to make others happy with your dancing. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She understood. She wanted to show her value. She wanted to win the big prize. She thanked her mom and hugged her. She was grateful for her mom's help. + +Lily practiced every day. She learned new moves, new songs, and new styles. She danced with her friends, her teachers, and her family. She danced with joy, with passion, and with confidence. She danced because it made her proud. + +The day of the contest came. Lily was nervous. She saw many other kids who wanted to win the big prize. They all looked good. They all danced well. But Lily did not give up. She remembered her mom's words. She remembered her value. + +She went on the stage. She smiled at the judges, at the audience, and at herself. She danced her best dance. She danced with her heart, with her soul, and with her value. She danced because it made her happy. + +The contest was over. The judges announced the winner. It was Lily. She won the big prize. She was shocked. She was excited. She was grateful. + +She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said, "I did it, mom. I did it. I showed my value. I won the big prize. Thank you, mom. Thank you for everything." + +Her mom hugged her back. She said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're welcome. I'm so proud of you. You're my little star. You're my little dancer." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins or buttons or rocks. They put them in a bucket and pretended they were gems. + +One day, they saw something very bright and sparkly in the sand. They ran to it and dug it out. It was a big gem, with many colors. It looked like a rainbow. + +"Wow!" Lily said. "This is the most beautiful gem ever! Can I hold it?" + +"OK, but be careful," Ben said. "It might be magic. Maybe it can make wishes come true." + +They took turns holding the gem and making wishes. They wished for ice cream, toys, and a pony. They felt very excited and happy. + +They decided to seat on a bench and look at the gem some more. They wondered if their wishes would come true. + +But then, a man came up to them. He had a badge and a hat. He was a park ranger. + +"Hello, kids," he said. "What do you have there?" + +Lily and Ben showed him the gem. They thought he would be amazed. + +But he was not. He was angry. + +"That's not a gem," he said. "That's a glass bottle cap. You shouldn't play with trash. It's bad for the environment. And it's dangerous. You could cut yourself." + +He took the gem from them and threw it in a trash can. + +Lily and Ben felt very sad and confused. They didn't understand why the man was so mean. They thought the gem was special. + +They went back to their bucket and looked at their other shiny things. They tried to cheer up. + +"Maybe these are real gems," Lily said. + +"Maybe they are," Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They still had each other. And they still had their imagination. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. But their favorite was the penguin house. They liked to watch the penguins swim and slide on the ice. + +"Look, Mom, they are so cute!" Lily said, pointing at a baby penguin. + +"Can we clap for them, Dad?" Ben asked, raising his hands. + +"Sure, but be calm and quiet, okay? We don't want to scare them," Dad said, nodding. + +Ben and Lily clapped softly for the penguins. The penguins looked at them and made funny noises. Ben and Lily laughed and clapped more. + +But one penguin did not like the noise. He was a big and angry penguin. He did not want anyone to bother him. He saw Ben and Lily clapping and he got very mad. He jumped out of the water and ran towards them. + +"Watch out!" Mom shouted, grabbing Ben and Lily and pulling them back. + +But it was too late. The angry penguin bit Ben's finger and scratched Lily's face. Ben and Lily cried and screamed. Mom and Dad hugged them and tried to calm them down. + +The zookeeper came and took the angry penguin away. He said he was sorry and gave Ben and Lily some bandages and ice cream. But Ben and Lily still felt hurt and scared. They did not want to see any more penguins. They wanted to go home. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful and respectful when you see animals. They may not like the same things as you. Sometimes, it is better to be calm and quiet than to clap and laugh. +Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But they also liked to eat chocolate. Chocolate was sweet and yummy. + +One day, Mom went to the store. She said, "I will bring you some chocolate if you are good. Do not fight or make a mess. Wait for me here." Ben and Lily nodded. They wanted chocolate. + +But soon, they got bored. They started to argue over a toy car. Ben said, "It is mine. I had it first." Lily said, "No, it is mine. I like it more." They pulled and pushed. The toy car broke. They both cried. + +Mom came back. She saw the broken toy and the sad twins. She said, "What happened? Why did you fight? You were not good." Ben and Lily felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted the toy. We did not share." + +Mom said, "Sharing is nice. Fighting is bad. You have to learn to get along. Now, you will not get any chocolate. Maybe next time, you will be good." She put the chocolate away. Ben and Lily felt sad. They hugged each other. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you. We love each other. Can we have some chocolate, please?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "I love you, too. You are my sweet twins. But you have to wait for chocolate. First, you have to fix the toy. And then, you have to share it. Can you do that?" Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We can do that." They went to fix the toy. They hoped to get some chocolate later. +Ben and Lily were playing with blocks in the living room. They wanted to build a big tower, but they did not have enough blocks. They saw a box of blocks on the shelf, but it was too high for them to reach. + +"Let's get a chair and a measure," Lily said. "We can stand on the chair and use the measure to get the box." + +"Good idea," Ben said. They found a chair and a measure in the kitchen and brought them to the living room. Ben climbed on the chair and Lily handed him the measure. Ben stretched the measure to the shelf and hooked it on the box. + +"Pull, pull!" Lily said. Ben pulled the measure, but the box was heavy and the measure was thin. The measure snapped and the box fell on the floor. The blocks spilled out and made a loud noise. + +"Ow, ow!" Ben said. He slipped off the chair and landed on the blocks. He hurt his arm and his leg. Lily ran to him and hugged him. + +"Are you okay?" she asked. + +"I'm okay," Ben said. "But it hurts." + +They heard footsteps and saw their mom coming. She looked angry and worried. + +"What happened here?" she asked. "Why did you make such a mess?" + +"We wanted to play with the blocks," Lily said. "But they were too high. We used a chair and a measure, but the measure broke and the box fell." + +Mom shook her head and sighed. + +"You should have asked me for help," she said. "You could have hurt yourself or broken something. And you should not use a measure like that. It is not a toy. It is for measuring things." + +She picked up the box and the measure and put them back on the shelf. Then she helped Ben and Lily clean up the blocks. She checked Ben's arm and leg and put a bandage on them. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, too," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"It's okay," she said. "I'm glad you are not badly hurt. But next time, please be careful and ask me before you do something like that. And don't forget to use your words. I can't hear you if you whisper. I'm deaf, remember?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "We love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you, too." +Tom and Lily like to play in the woods. They find a big cave and want to see what is inside. They hold hands and walk into the cave. It is dark and cold. + +They hear a loud roar. A big bear appears from the shadows. It is angry and hungry. Tom and Lily are scared. They run back to the cave entrance. + +But the bear is faster. It blocks their way. Tom and Lily are trapped. They cry for help. + +But they are smart. They remember they have a flashlight in their backpack. Tom takes it out and turns it on. He shines the light in the bear's eyes. The bear is blinded and confused. It moves away from the entrance. + +Tom and Lily see their chance. They run past the bear and out of the cave. They are safe. They hug each other and go back to their home. They tell their mom and dad what happened. They are proud and brave. They never go back to the cave again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They go to the same school. They like to play and learn together. Today, they have an exam. The exam is about animals and colors. + +Anna is good at animals and colors. She knows that a lion is yellow and a frog is green. She is not afraid of the exam. She wants to do well and make her teacher happy. + +Ben is not good at animals and colors. He mixes them up. He thinks that a cow is purple and a snake is pink. He is afraid of the exam. He does not want to do badly and make his teacher sad. + +Before the exam, Anna and Ben sit on a bench. Anna has a ball. She throws the ball to Ben. Ben catches the ball. He throws the ball back to Anna. They do this for a while. They have fun. + +"Anna, can you help me?" Ben asks. "I don't know the animals and colors. I don't want to fail the exam." + +"Sure, Ben. I can help you." Anna says. "I will show you the animals and colors. You will remember them. You will not fail the exam." + +Anna points to the ball. "What color is this?" She asks. + +"Red." Ben says. + +"Good. What animal is red?" Anna asks. + +"Fox." Ben says. + +"Good. What about this?" Anna points to the grass. + +"Green." Ben says. + +"Good. What animal is green?" Anna asks. + +"Frog." Ben says. + +"Good. You are doing great, Ben. Let's do more." Anna says. + +Anna and Ben practice more animals and colors. They learn and laugh. They are ready for the exam. + +The exam starts. Anna and Ben answer the questions. They write the names of the animals and the colors. They draw pictures of them. They finish the exam. + +The teacher checks the exams. She smiles. She is proud of Anna and Ben. They did well. They got all the answers right. They have impressive exams. + +"Anna and Ben, you did a wonderful job. You know the animals and colors very well. You have impressive exams. You get a gold star." The teacher says. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hug each other. They thank each other. They are friends. They go to the same school. They like to play and learn together. +Sara loves waffles. She likes to make them with Mommy on Sundays. She helps Mommy mix the flour, the milk, the eggs and the sugar in a big bowl. Then she watches Mommy pour the batter into the waffle maker. She waits for the beep that tells them the waffles are ready. + +Today, Sara wants to make a perfect waffle. She wants it to be golden and crispy and sweet. She wants to put butter and syrup and strawberries on top. She tells Mommy her plan. + +"Mommy, I want to make a perfect waffle today. Can I do it by myself?" + +Mommy smiles and says, "Sure, Sara. You can try. But be careful, the waffle maker is hot. And don't put too much batter, or it will spill over." + +Sara nods and takes the bowl. She pours some batter into the waffle maker. She closes the lid and waits for the beep. She is very excited. + +But then, something goes wrong. The batter starts to bubble and overflow. It drips onto the counter and the floor. It makes a big mess. Sara hears a loud sizzle and a bad smell. She opens the lid and sees a burnt and soggy waffle. She feels sad and angry. + +"Mommy, look what happened! My waffle is ruined! It's not perfect at all!" + +Mommy comes over and hugs Sara. She says, "It's okay, Sara. Making waffles is not easy. Sometimes they don't turn out the way we want. But that's how we learn. We can try again. And you know what? Even if your waffle is not perfect, I still love you very much. You are my perfect girl." + +Sara smiles and hugs Mommy back. She says, "Thank you, Mommy. I love you too. Can we make another waffle together?" + +Mommy says, "Of course, Sara. Let's clean up this mess and make another waffle. And this time, we'll share it. How does that sound?" + +Sara says, "That sounds great, Mommy. Let's make a perfect waffle for us." +Sara and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build tall stacks of different colors and shapes. Sara had a lot of blocks, but Ben only had a few. + +"Can I have some of your blocks, Sara?" Ben asked. "I want to make my stack higher." + +Sara looked at her blocks and shook her head. "No, these are my blocks. You have your own blocks." + +"But you have so many, and I have so few. Please share with me, Sara. Sharing is nice." Ben said. + +Sara frowned and hugged her blocks. "No, these are mine. Go away, Ben." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted to play with Sara, but she was not being nice. He looked around and saw a big book on the shelf. He had an idea. He got up and walked to the shelf. He stretched his arms and reached for the book. He pulled it down and carried it to his blocks. + +"What are you doing, Ben?" Sara asked. She was curious about the book. + +"I'm going to use this book to make my stack higher." Ben said. He put the book on top of his blocks. He smiled. His stack was now taller than Sara's. + +Sara was surprised and jealous. She wanted the book too. She got up and walked to Ben's stack. She tried to take the book, but Ben stopped her. + +"Hey, that's my book. You can't have it." Ben said. + +"But I want it. It's a nice book. Give it to me, Ben." Sara said. + +"No, it's mine. You didn't share your blocks with me, so I won't share my book with you." Ben said. + +They both pulled the book and started to fight. They did not see that their stacks were wobbling and falling. The blocks and the book crashed to the floor. They made a loud noise. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the children. She was not happy. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asked. "Why are you fighting over a book?" + +Sara and Ben stopped fighting and looked at Mom. They felt ashamed. They knew they had done something wrong. + +"We were playing with blocks, but Sara didn't share with me, so I took the book to make my stack higher, but then Sara wanted the book too, so we fought." Ben said. + +Mom shook her head and sighed. She picked up the book and the blocks. She put them in a big box. + +"Listen, Sara and Ben. Playing with blocks and books is fun, but only if you share and cooperate. Fighting is not fun, and it makes a mess. You need to learn to be kind and generous with each other. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They felt sorry. They wanted to make Mom happy. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I should have shared my blocks with you. Can we play together again?" Sara said. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I should not have taken the book from you. Can we be friends again?" Ben said. + +They hugged each other and smiled. Mom smiled too. She was glad they made up. + +"Okay, I'll give you another chance. But you have to promise me to share and cooperate. And you have to clean up this mess. Do you agree?" Mom said. + +Sara and Ben agreed. They said thank you to Mom. They took the box and started to put the blocks and the book back. They decided to build one big stack together. They used all the blocks and the book. They made the tallest and prettiest stack ever. They were proud and happy. They showed Mom their stack. Mom was proud and happy too. She praised them for their work. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She said they could keep the book if they wanted. It was available for them to read. They said yes, they wanted the book. They thanked Mom again. They sat down and opened the book. They looked at the pictures and the words. They learned new things. They had fun. They were good children. +Tim and Kim were young twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big spider on a flower. Tim wanted to touch it, but Kim was afraid. + +"Look, Kim, a spider! It has eight legs and many eyes. Can I touch it?" Tim asked. + +"No, Tim, don't touch it! It might bite you and give you poison. Poison can make you sick or hurt. Let's go away from the spider," Kim said. + +But Tim did not listen to Kim. He reached out his hand to touch the spider. The spider saw Tim and got angry. It jumped on Tim's hand and bit him. Tim felt a sharp pain and cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The spider bit me! It hurts!" Tim shouted. + +Kim ran to Tim and saw his hand. It was red and swollen. She was scared and sorry for Tim. She hugged him and tried to calm him down. + +"Tim, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The spider gave you poison. We need to tell Mom and Dad. They can help you. Come on, let's go inside," Kim said. + +Tim and Kim ran inside the house. They were both trembling. They found Mom and Dad and told them what happened. Mom and Dad took Tim to the doctor. The doctor gave Tim some medicine and a bandage. He said Tim would be fine, but he had to be careful with spiders. + +Tim and Kim learned a lesson. They never touched spiders again. They played in the garden, but they stayed away from the flowers with spiders. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Ben were helping Mom and Dad decorate the big tree in the living room. They had a box of shiny ornaments that they hung on the branches. Lily liked the red ones and Ben liked the blue ones. They took turns picking an ornament and finding a good spot for it. + +"Look, Lily, this one is a star!" Ben said, holding a yellow ornament. "It's so pretty!" + +"Can I see?" Lily asked, reaching for the star. But Ben was too fast and ran away with it. "Ben, come back! Share with me!" + +Ben laughed and ran around the tree, holding the star high. Lily chased him, trying to catch him. They were having fun, but they did not see Mom and Dad watching them. + +"Be careful, kids!" Mom said. "Don't drop the ornaments. They can break." + +"Sorry, Mom," Ben said, slowing down. He looked at the star in his hand. It was his favorite ornament. He remembered how Mom and Dad gave it to him last year. He felt a warm feeling in his chest. + +He looked at Lily, who was still running after him. She looked sad and tired. He felt sorry for her. He decided to do something nice. + +"Here, Lily," he said, stopping and giving her the star. "You can have it. It's a gift for you." + +Lily's eyes lit up. She took the star and hugged it. She smiled at Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I love you." + +Ben smiled back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good sister." + +Mom and Dad smiled too. They were proud of their children. They were grateful for their family. They hugged them and said, "Merry Christmas, kids. You are our stars." +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also gave him two sausages for arms. + +But the sun was very bright and warm. It made the snowman melt. The hat and the scarf fell off. The carrot nose dropped to the ground. The sausages became soft and floppy. + +Tom and Sam saw the snowman change. They were sad. They liked their snowman. They wanted him to stay. + +But then they saw a dog. The dog was hungry. He smelled the sausages. He ran to the snowman and ate the sausages. He wagged his tail and licked his lips. + +Tom and Sam laughed. They thought the dog was silly. They were not sad anymore. They played with the dog in the snow. They made a new snowman with sticks for arms. They hoped the dog would not eat them too. +Ben and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. Ben wanted to go first. He ran to the slide and climbed up. Lily waited for him. + +"Be careful, Ben!" Lily said. "The slide is dry and fast. You might fall." + +Ben did not listen. He thought he was brave. He slid down very fast. But he did not land on his feet. He landed on his arm. He felt a lot of pain. He cried. + +Lily ran to him. She saw his arm was red and swollen. She was scared. She wanted to help him. + +"Ben, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Lily asked. + +Ben was angry. He did not want her help. He blamed her for his fall. + +"It's your fault, Lily!" Ben shouted. "You made a joke of me. You said the slide was dry and fast. You lied to me. You are a bad friend. Go away!" + +Lily felt sad. She did not lie. She did not make a joke. She wanted to be a good friend. She tried to say sorry. But Ben did not want to hear her. He pushed her away. + +Lily ran away. She cried too. She did not want to play with Ben anymore. She did not want to be his friend anymore. + +Ben was alone. He still felt pain. He wished his arm would heal. He wished Lily would come back. He wished he had listened to her. But it was too late. He had lost his friend. He had no one to play with. He was sorry. But he did not know how to say it. He was lonely. He was sad. The end. +Sam loves to watch cars speed on the big road. He likes the noise and the colors of the cars. He wants to be a car driver when he grows up. + +One day, his dad takes him to a special place. It is a big stadium with many seats and a big circle road. Sam sees many cars on the road. They are fast and loud. They have numbers and stickers on them. Sam is very excited. + +"Look, Sam, this is a race!" his dad says. "The cars are trying to be the first to finish the circle. Do you see the flag? That is how they know when to start and stop." + +Sam nods. He watches the cars with wide eyes. He cheers for his favorite car. It is red and has the number five on it. He thinks it is the fastest car. + +The race starts. The cars speed around the circle. Sam claps and shouts. He sees his car in the front. He is happy. But then, another car comes close. It is blue and has the number six on it. It tries to pass his car. + +"No, no, no!" Sam says. "Go, go, go, red car! You can do it!" + +His dad smiles and hugs him. He says, "It's okay, Sam. It's just a game. The cars are having fun. And so are we, right?" + +Sam nods. He is still a little sad, but he likes the game. He likes the stadium. He likes the cars. He likes his dad. He says, "Yes, dad. We are having fun. Can we come again?" + +His dad says, "Sure, Sam. We can come again. Maybe next time, your car will win. You never know." + +Sam smiles. He hopes his car will win. He thinks it is the best car. He thinks he is the best car driver. He thinks he is fast. He thinks he is speed. +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers with the blocks. Tom built a big tower that was taller than him. Lily built a small tower that was as high as her hand. + +"Look at my tower!" Tom said. "It is the best tower ever!" + +"No, my tower is better!" Lily said. "It is cute and colorful!" + +Tom did not like Lily's tower. He thought it was silly and filthy. He wanted to make Lily angry. He poked Lily's tower with his finger. The tower fell down and the blocks scattered. + +"Hey!" Lily cried. "You broke my tower! That was mean!" + +Lily was very sad and mad. She wanted to make Tom sorry. She poked Tom's tower with her hand. The tower wobbled and crashed. The blocks hit Tom on the head. + +"Ow!" Tom yelled. "You hurt me! That was meaner!" + +Tom was very hurt and angry. He wanted to make Lily pay. He picked up a block and threw it at Lily. The block hit Lily on the face. + +"Ouch!" Lily screamed. "You hit me! That was the meanest!" + +Lily was very hurt and angry too. She picked up another block and threw it back at Tom. The block hit Tom on the chest. + +They kept throwing blocks at each other. They did not stop. They did not listen. They did not care. + +Soon, there were no more blocks to throw. There were only bruises and tears. There were no more towers to play with. There was only a mess to clean up. + +Mom came in and saw what they had done. She was very shocked and disappointed. She scolded them and sent them to their rooms. She took away their blocks and said they could not play with them for a week. + +Tom and Lily were very sorry and ashamed. They had ruined their fun and hurt each other. They had made Mom unhappy and lost their blocks. They wished they had not been so mean. They wished they had shared and been nice. But it was too late. They had a bad ending. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Spot. One day, they go to the park with Mom. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. + +"Look, Spot, ducks!" Anna says. She runs to the pond and throws a stick for Spot to fetch. Spot jumps into the water and swims after the stick. + +"Wait, Anna, be careful!" Ben says. He notices that the water is thick and green. He thinks it is dirty and smelly. He does not want to touch it. He calls to Spot. "Come back, Spot, come back!" + +But Spot does not listen. He is having fun with the stick and the ducks. He barks and splashes and shakes his fur. He makes the water thicker and greener. + +Mom sees what is happening. She runs to the pond and grabs Spot by the collar. She pulls him out of the water and puts him on a leash. She is not happy. She says to Anna and Ben, "What have you done? This pond is not for swimming. It is full of algae and germs. Spot is all wet and dirty. We have to go home and give him a bath." + +Anna and Ben are sorry. They did not know that the pond was bad. They say to Mom, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to play with Spot and the ducks. We did not notice that the water was thick and green." + +Mom sighs. She says to Anna and Ben, "It's okay. I know you did not mean to do anything wrong. But you have to be more careful next time. Not all ponds are safe and clean. Some ponds are good for ducks and fish, but not for dogs and kids. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They say to Mom, "We understand, Mom. We will be more careful next time. We love you, Mom." + +Mom smiles. She says to Anna and Ben, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. Now let's go home and wash Spot. He needs a good scrub." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to eat olives. They always asked their mom to buy olives when they went to the store. One day, mom brought home a big jar of olives, but they were not regular olives. They were stuffed with red things. + +"Mom, what are these?" Lily asked, pointing at the jar. + +"They are olives with peppers, sweetie. They are spicy and tasty. Do you want to try one?" mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They loved to try new things. Mom opened the jar and gave them each an olive. Lily and Ben bit into the olives and made a funny face. + +"Hot! Hot! Hot!" they shouted, spitting out the olives. + +Mom laughed and gave them some water. "I'm sorry, kids. I thought you might like them. They are too spicy for you. Next time, I will buy regular olives, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nodded again. They drank the water and felt better. They learned that not all olives are the same. They decided to stick to regular olives from now on. They hugged mom and said thank you. + +The moral of the story is: be careful when you try new things. Sometimes, they might not suit your taste. It is okay to like regular things. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a shiny thing in the grass. It was a silver ring. Lila picked it up and put it on her finger. + +"Look, Ben, I have a pretty ring!" she said. + +"Wow, it is pretty. Where did you find it?" Ben asked. + +"I found it here. Maybe someone lost it," Lila said. + +"Maybe we should give it back. It is not ours," Ben said. + +Lila did not want to give it back. She liked the ring. She wanted to keep it. She ran away from Ben. Ben chased her. He wanted to be helpful. He wanted to find the owner of the ring. + +They ran and ran. They did not see the big dog. The big dog saw them. The big dog barked and ran after them. Lila and Ben were scared. They screamed. + +"Help, help, a big dog!" they cried. + +A lady heard them. She came out of her house. She saw the big dog. She saw the silver ring on Lila's finger. She called the big dog. + +"Rex, Rex, come here, boy. That is my ring. I lost it this morning. Thank you for finding it, children," she said. + +She took the ring from Lila's finger. She gave them a hug. She gave them a cookie. She thanked them again. + +Lila and Ben were happy. They were sorry for taking the ring. They learned a lesson. They learned to be honest and helpful. They learned to catch their mistakes and say sorry. They learned to share and care. They smiled and said goodbye to the lady and the big dog. They went back to the park. They played some more. They had fun. They were friends. +On Wednesday, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Tom wanted to feed the ducks, but Lily wanted to jump in the pond. She liked the water and the fish. + +"No, Lily, you can't jump in the pond," mom said. "It's not safe. You can get wet and cold and sick. And the ducks and fish don't like it. They need their space." + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the edge of the pond and jumped. Splash! She landed in the water and made a big wave. The ducks and fish were scared and swam away. Lily was happy for a moment, but then she felt cold and wet and sad. She wanted to get out of the pond, but she could not. She was stuck in the mud. + +"Help, mom, help!" Lily cried. "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry!" + +Mom heard Lily and ran to the pond. She was worried and angry. She pulled Lily out of the pond and wrapped her in a towel. She took her to the car and drove her home. + +"Lily, you were very naughty and foolish," mom said. "You did not listen to me. You did not respect the ducks and fish. You did not think about the consequences. You could have hurt yourself and others. You made a big mess. You need to learn your lesson." + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She knew mom was right. She had been selfish and reckless. She had caused trouble for everyone. She wished she had not jumped in the pond. + +"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Lily said. "I won't jump in the pond again. I will listen to you. I will respect the ducks and fish. I will think before I act. I will be a good girl." + +Mom hugged Lily and kissed her. She was still upset, but she also loved Lily. She wanted Lily to be happy and safe and wise. + +"I love you, Lily, I love you," mom said. "But you need to be careful and responsible. You need to follow the rules and be respectful. You need to think about the consequences and be kind. That's how you can be a good girl and have fun." + +Lily nodded and hugged mom. She learned her lesson. She did not want to jump in the pond again. She wanted to be a good girl and have fun. She wanted to make mom and the ducks and fish happy. She wanted to be careful and responsible and kind. She wanted to be like mom. +Tom and Mia are young. They like to play on the sand. They see many shells on the sand. They pick up the shells and look at them. + +"Look, Mia, this shell is big and shiny!" Tom says. He feels the shell with his hand. It is smooth and hard. + +"Wow, Tom, that is a nice shell!" Mia says. She sees another shell. It is small and pink. She feels the shell with her hand. It is rough and soft. + +"Look, Tom, this shell is pretty and cute!" Mia says. She shows him the shell. + +They hear a sound. It is the sea. The sea is blue and loud. It makes waves on the sand. + +"Let's go to the sea, Mia!" Tom says. He runs to the sea with his big shell. + +"Wait for me, Tom!" Mia says. She runs to the sea with her small shell. + +They play with the shells and the sea. They are happy. They like the shells and the sea. +Lily and Tom were playing with paper dolls in the living room. They had many dolls with different clothes and hair. They liked to make them talk and act like friends. + +"Look, this is my doll, Anna. She has a pretty dress and long hair. She likes to dance and sing," Lily said, holding up her doll. + +"This is my doll, Ben. He has a cool hat and a bike. He likes to explore and race," Tom said, showing his doll. + +They put their dolls on the floor and pretended they were going to a party. They made them dance and chat and laugh. + +But then, Tom's doll bumped into Lily's doll and made her fall. Lily's doll's dress got torn by the bike's wheel. + +"Hey, you tore my doll's dress! That's not nice!" Lily cried, picking up her doll. + +"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It was an accident," Tom said, feeling bad. + +Lily looked at her doll's dress and saw a big hole. She felt sad and angry. She grabbed Tom's doll and tore his hat. + +"Ha, now your doll's hat is torn too! How do you like that?" Lily said, throwing his doll away. + +Tom was shocked and hurt. He picked up his doll and saw his hat was ripped. He felt sad and angry too. He grabbed Lily's doll and threw her into the fish tank. + +"Take that! Now your doll is wet and ruined!" Tom said, feeling mean. + +Lily screamed and ran to the fish tank. She saw her doll sinking in the water. She felt scared and sorry. She reached her hand into the tank and pulled out her doll. + +"Tom, how could you? You made my doll wet and cold! She can't breathe in there!" Lily said, crying. + +Tom saw Lily crying and holding her wet doll. He felt guilty and ashamed. He realized he had been very mean and hurtful. He looked at his doll and saw his hat was still torn. He felt sorry too. + +"Lily, I'm sorry. I was very mean and hurtful. I shouldn't have thrown your doll in the water. I was angry because you tore my hat, but that was no excuse. Can you forgive me?" Tom said, walking to Lily. + +Lily looked at Tom and saw his sorry face. She remembered he was her friend and they liked to play together. She felt her anger go away. She looked at her doll and saw her dress was still torn. She felt sad, but she knew it was an accident. + +"Tom, I'm sorry too. I was very mean and hurtful too. I shouldn't have torn your hat. I was sad because you tore my dress, but that was no excuse. I forgive you. Can you forgive me?" Lily said, holding out her doll. + +Tom smiled and nodded. He took his doll and hugged Lily's doll. He felt happy again. + +"Lily, I forgive you. You are my friend and I like to play with you. Maybe we can fix our dolls' clothes and hats. Do you want to play some more?" Tom said, holding out his hand. + +Lily smiled and nodded too. She took Tom's hand and felt happy again. + +"Tom, you are my friend and I like to play with you too. Yes, let's fix our dolls' clothes and hats. And let's be careful and nice to them. Do you want to play some more?" Lily said, walking with Tom. + +They went to the kitchen and asked their mom for some scissors, glue and paper. They cut out some new clothes and hats for their dolls and glued them on. They made them look pretty and cool again. They went back to the living room and played some more. They made their dolls talk and act like friends. They had fun and laughed. They were happy. +Lily wanted to watch a video on her tablet. She liked videos with songs and animals. She asked her mom for the tablet, but her mom said no. Mom said it was time for bed, and videos were not good for sleep. + +Lily was upset. She did not want to sleep. She wanted to watch a video. She cried and kicked her legs. She said, "No, no, no! Video, video, video!" + +Mom tried to calm Lily down. She said, "Lily, I know you like videos, but you need to sleep. Sleep is good for you. It makes you grow and learn. How about we read a book instead? A book with songs and animals?" + +Lily did not listen. She struggled to get away from mom. She reached for the tablet on the table. She said, "No, no, no! Video, video, video!" + +Mom was sad. She did not like to see Lily so upset. She said, "Lily, please stop. You are hurting my feelings. I love you, and I want you to be happy. But you also need to follow the rules. The rules are there to help you. Can you please say sorry and give me a hug?" + +Lily stopped for a moment. She looked at mom's face. She saw that mom was sad. She felt sorry for making mom sad. She said, "Sorry, mom. I love you, too. Can I have a hug?" + +Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "Thank you, Lily. I forgive you. Now, let's go to bed. I will read you a book with songs and animals. And tomorrow, you can watch a video after breakfast. OK?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, mom. Thank you for the book. And the video. Good night, mom." + +Mom said, "Good night, Lily. Sweet dreams." +Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play something fun, but they did not have many toys. They looked around the house and saw a big squash on the kitchen table. They had an idea. + +"Let's make a face on the squash!" Lily said. "We can use a knife and a spoon and some buttons and yarn." + +"That sounds creative!" Ben said. "But we have to be careful with the knife. It is sharp." + +They asked their mom if they could use the squash. She said yes, but she told them to be careful and to clean up after. She gave them a knife, a spoon, some buttons and some yarn. They took the squash to the living room and put it on the floor. + +They started to make a face on the squash. They used the knife to cut out eyes, a nose and a mouth. They used the spoon to scoop out the seeds and the pulp. They used the buttons to make pupils and teeth. They used the yarn to make hair and eyebrows. + +They were very happy with their squash face. They showed it to their mom. She smiled and said it was very creative. She took a picture of them with their squash face and put it on the fridge. + +They decided to name their squash face Bob. They played with Bob for a long time. They made him talk and sing and tell jokes. They had a lot of fun with their creative squash face. They forgot they were bored. +Lily likes to run. She runs in the park, in the yard, and in the school. She is very fast. She can run faster than her friends, her dog, and her bike. + +One day, Lily has a race. She runs with many kids. They all want to win. Lily runs very hard. She does not look back. She wants to be first. + +Lily is first. She wins the race. She is very happy. She gets a medal. The medal is shiny and round. It has a ribbon. Lily puts the medal on her neck. She shows it to her mom and dad. They are very proud of her. They hug her and say, "You are a fast runner, Lily. You have a great medal. We love you." Lily smiles. She loves her medal and her family. +Tim was lonely. He had no friends to play with. He only had his toys and his soap. He liked his soap. It was blue and smelled nice. He liked to make bubbles with his soap in the bath. + +One day, he decided to imagine that his soap was a friend. He gave his soap a name. He called it Bob. He said, "Hello, Bob. Do you want to play with me?" He pretended that Bob said, "Yes, Tim. I want to play with you. You are my friend." + +Tim and Bob had fun. They played with the toys. They made a castle with the blocks. They pretended to be pirates with the hats. They laughed and sang. Tim was happy. He said, "Bob, you are the best friend ever. I love you." + +But then, Tim's mom came. She said, "Tim, it's time to get out of the bath. You have been in there too long. You are all wrinkly." She took Tim out of the bath. She dried him with a towel. She said, "Where is your soap, Tim? You need to put it away." + +Tim looked for Bob. He saw him on the floor. He was wet and dirty. He had lost his blue color. He had no bubbles. He looked sad. Tim said, "Mom, this is Bob. He is my friend. Can I keep him?" + +Tim's mom looked at Bob. She said, "Tim, this is not a friend. This is a soap. A soap is not a friend. A soap is for washing. You can't keep a soap. You need a new soap. This soap is old and dirty. I will throw it away." + +Tim felt sad. He said, "No, mom. Don't throw Bob away. He is my friend. I imagined him. He played with me. He made me happy. Please, mom. Let me keep Bob." + +Tim's mom shook her head. She said, "Tim, I'm sorry. But you can't keep Bob. He is not a real friend. He is a soap. You need to find real friends. Real friends are not soaps. Real friends are people. People who talk and listen and hug and share. You can find real friends at the park or at the school or at the library. You can play with them and have fun with them. You don't need to imagine them. They are real." + +Tim didn't understand. He said, "But mom, Bob is real to me. He is my friend. I love him. Please, mom. Don't take him away." + +Tim's mom sighed. She said, "Tim, I know you love Bob. But he is not good for you. He is a soap. He will make you sick. He will make you lonely. He will make you miss out on real friends. You need to let him go. You need to say goodbye to Bob." + +Tim looked at Bob. He felt a tear in his eye. He said, "Goodbye, Bob. Thank you for playing with me. Thank you for being my friend. I will miss you. I hope you find a new home. I hope you find a new friend. I love you, Bob." + +Tim gave Bob a kiss. He gave him to his mom. His mom threw Bob in the trash. She said, "Good boy, Tim. I'm proud of you. You did the right thing. Now, let's go find some real friends. OK?" + +Tim nodded. He said, "OK, mom. Let's go find some real friends. But I will always remember Bob. He was my first friend. He was my soap friend." +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. Lila has red blocks and Ben has blue blocks. They want to make a big tower with both colors. + +"Let's add your blocks to my blocks," Lila says. "Then we can have a red and blue tower." + +"OK," Ben says. "But we need to be careful. The tower is very high. It can fall down." + +They take turns to add blocks to the tower. They count the blocks as they add them. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. The tower is taller than them. + +"Wow, look at our tower!" Lila says. "It is so big and pretty. We are good at adding blocks." + +"Yes, we are," Ben says. "But do you hear that? It is a song. It is coming from the window." + +They look at the window and see a bird. The bird is singing a soft song. It sounds like a whistle. The bird is yellow and black. It has a shiny eye. + +"Hello, bird," Lila says. "We like your song. It is soft and nice. Do you want to see our tower?" + +The bird nods and flies to their tower. It lands on the top block. It looks at Lila and Ben and sings again. + +"Hello, kids," the bird says. "I like your tower. It is big and pretty. You are good at adding blocks. Can I join your game?" + +Lila and Ben smile and nod. They are happy to have a new friend. They ask the bird its name. The bird says its name is Sunny. They tell the bird their names. They ask the bird to teach them its song. The bird agrees and sings again. Lila and Ben try to copy the bird. They whistle and laugh. They have fun with Sunny and their tower. They are glad they added blocks and a song. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +But there is a boy on the slide. He is big and mean. He says, "This is my slide. You can't go on it. If you want to go on it, you have to pay me. Give me your toys or your snacks." + +Lily and Ben are upset. They don't want to give their toys or their snacks. They say, "That's not fair. You can't take our things. The slide is for everyone. Please let us go on it." + +The boy says, "No. Go away. Or I will push you." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They don't want to be pushed. They look for help. They see a lady. She is sitting on a bench. She is reading a book. She has a dog. The dog is lying on the grass. + +Lily and Ben run to the lady. They say, "Lady, lady, please help us. There is a boy on the slide. He is big and mean. He won't let us go on the slide. He wants us to pay him. He says he will push us." + +The lady looks up. She sees the boy on the slide. She sees Lily and Ben. She says, "That's not nice. That's not right. The slide is for everyone. You don't have to pay him. You don't have to be afraid. Come with me. I will talk to him." + +The lady gets up. She takes Lily and Ben by the hand. She walks to the slide. She says to the boy, "Hello, I'm Mary. This is Lily and Ben. They want to go on the slide. Can you share the slide with them?" + +The boy says, "No. This is my slide. You can't tell me what to do. Go away." + +The lady says, "That's not polite. That's not kind. The slide is not yours. It belongs to the park. The park is for everyone. You have to share the slide with others. If you don't, I will tell the park ranger. He will make you leave." + +The boy says, "No. You can't do that. I don't care." + +The lady says, "Yes, I can. And I will. Look, there he is. He is coming this way. He has a whistle and a badge. He will see what you are doing. He will not be happy." + +The boy looks. He sees the park ranger. He is coming this way. He has a whistle and a badge. He looks serious. He is not happy. + +The boy is scared. He says, "Okay, okay, fine. You can go on the slide. I don't care. Just leave me alone." + +The lady says, "Thank you. That's very nice of you. Now, Lily and Ben, you can go on the slide. Have fun. Be careful. And don't forget to say thank you to the boy." + +Lily and Ben say, "Thank you, boy. Thank you, lady. Thank you, park ranger. You are very nice. You are very kind. You are very helpful." + +They go on the slide. They have fun. They are happy. The boy goes on the slide too. He has fun. He is happy. He is not mean anymore. He makes new friends. The lady goes back to the bench. She reads her book. She is happy. The dog wags his tail. He is happy. He likes the grass. Everyone is happy. The end. +Ben and Mia like to play soccer with their friends. They run and kick the ball and have fun. Sometimes they score goals and cheer. Sometimes they miss and try again. + +One day, Ben and Mia are on the same team. They are playing against Sam and Zoe. Sam and Zoe are good players, but they are not nice. They push and shout and cheat. They make Ben and Mia sad and angry. + +Ben and Mia want to win the game. They work together and pass the ball. They see a chance to score. Ben kicks the ball hard and fast. It flies towards the goal. But Sam jumps and lifts his hand. He stops the ball with his hand. That is not fair. That is a foul. + +"Hey, you can't do that!" Ben yells. "That is cheating!" + +"No, it's not!" Sam lies. "I used my head, not my hand. We win, you lose!" + +Sam and Zoe laugh and run away. They are happy. They think they are the best players. But they are not. They are bitter players. They do not play fair. They do not have fun. + +Ben and Mia are sad and angry. They feel like crying. They did not win the game. They did not have fun. They do not like Sam and Zoe. + +But then they see their friends. Their friends come and hug them. They say nice things to them. They say they are good players. They say they are proud of them. They say they want to play with them again. + +Ben and Mia smile and hug their friends. They feel better. They are happy. They are good players. They play fair. They have fun. They like their friends. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a bright object on the grass. It was shiny and round and had many colors. + +"What is that?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see," Lily said. + +They ran to the object and picked it up. It was a ball, but not like any ball they had seen before. It had buttons and lights and sounds. When they pressed a button, the ball said something. + +"Hello, I am a smart ball. Do you want to play with me?" the ball said. + +Ben and Lily were surprised and happy. They nodded and smiled. + +"Great, let's play. I can teach you many things. But first, you have to mind me. Do you know what that means?" the ball said. + +Ben and Lily shook their heads. They did not know what mind meant. + +"It means you have to listen to me and do what I say. If you mind me, I will be your friend and help you learn. If you don't mind me, I will be sad and stop talking. Do you understand?" the ball said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They wanted to be friends with the ball and learn from it. They said yes, they would mind the ball. + +"Good, then let's start. Press the red button and I will tell you a story. Press the blue button and I will ask you a question. Press the green button and I will sing a song. Are you ready?" the ball said. + +Ben and Lily pressed the red button and the ball told them a story. They liked the story and laughed. Then they pressed the blue button and the ball asked them a question. They tried to answer and the ball praised them. Then they pressed the green button and the ball sang a song. They sang along and clapped. + +Ben and Lily had fun with the ball. They minded the ball and the ball was happy. They learned many things and played until it was time to go home. They thanked the ball and said goodbye. They promised to come back and play again. The ball said it would wait for them. Ben and Lily hugged the ball and put it back on the grass. They ran to their mom and dad and told them about the ball. They said they had a new friend. Mom and dad smiled and said they were proud of them. They went home and had dinner. They dreamed of the ball and the next day. +Anna was a thoughtful girl who liked to dream. She dreamed of being a cop when she grew up. She wanted to help people and catch bad guys. She had a toy cop car and a hat that said "cop" on it. + +One day, she saw a real cop outside her house. He was talking to her neighbor, who had a broken window. Anna ran to the cop and said, "Hi, I want to be a cop too!" + +The cop smiled and said, "That's great, Anna. Being a cop is a good job. You have to be brave and smart and kind. Do you know what cops do?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, they help people and catch bad guys. And they drive fast and use sirens and lights." + +The cop laughed and said, "That's true, but they also do other things. They write reports and talk to witnesses and follow rules. They work with other cops and people who need them. They have to be careful and honest and respectful." + +Anna listened and said, "Wow, that sounds hard. But I still want to be a cop. Can you teach me how to be a cop?" + +The cop said, "Sure, I can teach you some things. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise to keep dreaming and learning and being thoughtful. That's how you become a good cop and a good person. Do you promise?" + +Anna said, "I promise!" and hugged the cop. The cop hugged her back and said, "Good. Now, let me show you my cop car and my hat. Maybe you can try them on and see how they fit." +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big fence at the end of the garden. They wondered what was behind it. + +"Let's go and see," said Tom. He ran to the fence and tried to open it. It was locked. He pushed and pulled, but it did not move. + +"Maybe we can climb over it," said Lily. She followed Tom and looked for a place to climb. She saw a hole in the fence. She peeked through it and saw a big dog. It was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and ran to the fence. + +Lily was frightened. She screamed and ran away from the fence. Tom heard her scream and saw the dog. He was frightened too. He ran after Lily and away from the fence. + +They ran back to the house and told their mom what they saw. Their mom hugged them and said, "You should not go near the fence. That is the neighbor's dog. He is not friendly. He can bite you and hurt you. You are safe here with me." + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "We are sorry, mom. We will not go near the fence again. We love you, mom." + +Their mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily and Tom. Now, how about some cookies and milk?" +Sara loved to spin. She liked to feel the wind on her face and the sun on her hair. She spun in the park, in the garden, and in her room. She spun with her friends, with her toys, and with her dog. She spun so much that sometimes she felt dizzy and fell down. + +One day, Sara saw a new toy in the store. It was a shiny ball that could spin on a stick. Sara wanted the toy very much. She asked her mom if she could have it. Her mom said yes, but only if she was good and did her chores. Sara nodded and smiled. She was happy and excited. + +Sara did her chores very fast. She cleaned her room, helped with the dishes, and fed her dog. She was a good girl. She ran to her mom and said she was ready to go to the store. Her mom said okay and took her hand. They walked to the store together. + +Sara saw the toy in the window. It was still there. It was available. She ran inside and grabbed it. She hugged it and thanked her mom. Her mom paid for it and gave it to her. Sara was very happy. She wanted to spin the toy right away. + +Sara ran outside and held the stick. She pushed the ball and made it spin. It was fun. It was fast. It was shiny. Sara spun the toy and spun herself. She felt the wind on her face and the sun on her hair. She spun and spun and spun. + +But Sara spun too much. She spun too fast. She spun too long. She felt dizzy and fell down. She hit her neck on the ground. It hurt. It hurt a lot. She cried and cried. Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She said she was sorry and took her to the doctor. The doctor said she had a sprain. He gave her a bandage and some medicine. He said she would be okay, but she had to rest and not spin for a while. + +Sara was sad. She liked to spin. She liked her toy. But she learned a lesson. She learned that spinning too much was not good. She learned that she had to be careful and not hurt herself. She learned that sometimes less was more. She decided to spin less and enjoy more. She decided to spin with her mom, with her friends, and with her dog. She decided to spin in the park, in the garden, and in her room. But only a little bit. And only when she felt good. And only when her neck was better. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big ball in the grass. It was shiny and blue. It made a soft sound. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "Let's go and touch it!" + +"OK, but be careful," Lily said. "It might be hot or sharp." + +They ran to the ball and reached out their hands. The ball was warm and smooth. It felt nice. They smiled at each other. + +Suddenly, the ball started to glow brighter and louder. It made a scary noise. Tom and Lily felt a shock in their fingers. They screamed and let go of the ball. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "That hurt!" + +"Me too, me too!" Lily sobbed. "What was that?" + +They looked at their hands. They had red marks on them. They felt sick and dizzy. They fell to the ground. + +The ball kept glowing and making noise. It was powerful. It was bad. It did not like Tom and Lily. It wanted to hurt them more. + +Some people in the park heard the noise and saw the light. They ran to see what was happening. They saw Tom and Lily on the ground. They saw the ball. They were scared. + +They called for help. They tried to get closer to Tom and Lily. But the ball did not let them. It made a big blast. It sent fire and smoke everywhere. It burned the people and the grass. It broke the trees and the swings. It made a big hole in the ground. + +Nobody could stop the ball. Nobody could save Tom and Lily. They did not wake up. They were gone. The ball was happy. It had won. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys, but their favorite is the enormous teddy bear. The teddy bear is soft and cuddly. It has brown fur and black eyes. + +One day, Anna and Ben are playing with the teddy bear in their room. They pretend that the teddy bear is their friend. They hug it and talk to it. They tell it stories and jokes. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they hear their mom calling them. "Anna, Ben, it's time for lunch!" she says. Anna and Ben do not want to stop playing. They want to stay with the teddy bear. They ignore their mom. + +Their mom comes to their room. She sees them playing with the teddy bear. She smiles, but she also looks a bit angry. "Anna, Ben, I told you it's time for lunch. You have to listen to me. Come on, let's go to the kitchen." she says. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They do not want to make their mom angry. They love their mom. They decide to obey her. They say goodbye to the teddy bear. They promise to come back soon. They follow their mom to the kitchen. + +Their mom gives them sandwiches and juice. They eat and drink. They thank their mom. Their mom hugs them and kisses them. She says, "I'm sorry I was angry. I know you love your teddy bear. But you also need to eat and relax. You can play with your teddy bear again after lunch. OK?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "OK, mom. We love you. And we love our teddy bear. He is our friend. He makes us happy." Their mom smiles. She says, "I love you too. And I'm glad you have a friend. He is an enormous teddy bear, but he has a big heart." Anna and Ben smile too. They finish their lunch. They are ready to play with their teddy bear again. They are happy twins. +Tom likes to ride his bike to school. He thinks it is fun and fast. He has a red bike with a bell and a basket. He puts his lunch and his books in the basket.
