She loved cocoa so much and she would always ask her mother for it at night. + +One day, Jane's mother said, "It's getting late, sweetheart. It's time to keep your cocoa in the fridge, okay?" + +But Jane did not want to keep it, she wanted to drink it right away. She said, "No, mommy, I'm not keeping it!

She was so excited to get started that she didn't even stop to think what she would do. She opened the box and pulled out a match. + +Suddenly an idea popped into her mind and she shouted, "I know, I'll light a fire!" But when she tried to light the match, nothing happened. She was very disappointed. + +Then she remembered what her mum had told her when she was playing with matches once before. "If you want to make a fire you have to make a spark," Mum had said. + +The girl tried again and this time she managed to make a spark.

His mom had designed the prettiest scarf for him. + +Henry hugged his mom and thanked her for the special gift. They both laughed as he twirled around and wore his new scarf with pride. + +The end. +Once upon a time, there was a very cool bicycle. It was shiny and new. One day, the kid wanted to test it out.

Eva and Matt both wanted to take a break from playing outside and headed to Matt's house. Matt's older brother, Shane, was there. He had a powder in his hand. + +"What is that powder?" Eva asked. + +Shane smiled. "It's special. It will give you strength and power," He said. + +"Can I have some?" Eva asked. + +Shane laughed. "No. But Matt can have some if he surrenders to me," he said. + +Matt looked at Eva. He was envious. He wanted the powder too. He didn't want to surrender to Shane, but he wanted to be powerful like Eva. So he surrendered to Shane. + +Shane gave Matt some of the powder. But the powder was actually poison. Matt got sick and had to stay in the hospital. He was very ill and almost died. + +The moral of the story is: never be envious of what someone else has. Greed can lead you to make bad choices. +Jimmy and Jerry were playing in the garden. They saw something enormous and exciting. It was a big strawberry! Jimmy shouted, "Wow! That strawberry is enormous!" Jerry reached out and grabbed it. He wanted to eat it. But the strawberry was too big to eat alone. + +So they asked their mom for help.

He asked his mother, "What are you making?" + +"Something special," she said. + +The boy's eyes lit up. He loved when his mother cooked special things. + +Mother took out a bowl and started to mix things together. She added lots of spices and stirred quickly.

One day, when Glynn was taking a walk, he heard a funny noise. He stopped and listened closely. To his surprise, there was a wave crashing against the rocks. + +Glynn was fascinated. He looked closer and saw that the wave was making shapes in the sand. So, he jumped in the water to play. + +Glynn was having so much fun swimming, but soon the wave grew bigger and pushed him even closer to the rocks. Glynn was scared and tried to fly away, but it was too late. + +He shouted, "Help!" Suddenly, a wise old walrus appeared and said, "Little bird, be brave and listen to the ocean. The wave needs you to help." Glynn thought hard and remembered that the waves had been pulling him away from danger before. + +He listened to the ocean and let the waves carry him to safety. Glynn had been so clever and brave, and he was safe. + +Moral of the story: Listen to your instincts and be brave. +Mommy and John were packing. John was very excited. Mommy said, "We are going to take a sunflower." John said, "A sunflower it is so big and fragile." Mommy smiled and said, "Yes it is. We must take very good care of it." + +John ran off to get his backpack so he could help bring the sunflower. He was so excited! He knew he had to be very careful.

I like to wear it because it makes me look cool." + +Jake smiled and said, "It's really cool! Can I try wearing one?" + +The man said, "Of course, but you must be patient. Mustaches take time to grow, so you have to be very patient." + +So, with some patience and determination, Jake eventually grew his very own mustache, and he welcomed it with a big smile. +Once upon a time there was a bunny. He was so eager to find an oasis. So he zipped around the desert looking and looking. He saw sand and rocks, but no oasis. He kept zipping even faster and faster. But still no oasis! + +He was about to give up when he noticed something glittering in the sun. He zipped over and saw it was a huge oasis with a pond and lots of green trees.

Jack and Jill wanted the dictionary for themselves and so Jack tried to steal it. + +Jill was very mad at Jack. She said it was wrong to steal and that they should find another way. + +Jack thought for a moment, and then came up with an idea. He suggested that they ask the dictionary's owner if they could borrow it. + +The owner of the dictionary gladly agreed to let them borrow it.

She loved to paint and make colourful pictures. One day she grabbed her paint and brushes and went outside to paint a picture of a rainbow. + +As Lisa was painting, she noticed she was getting dizzy. She looked up from her painting and frowned. + +"What's wrong Lisa?" asked her mom. + +"I'm feeling dizzy," Lisa said. + +Her mom put her hand on Lisa's head and said, "That's okay, why don't you rest for a bit? You can finish your painting later." + +Lisa nodded and walked back inside the house. She was feeling much better after a few minutes of rest but she was still a bit dizzy. + +"Do you think you can finish your painting now?" asked her mom. + +"I think so," Lisa smiled. + +So Lisa got back to work with her paint and brushes.

Everyone could count on it to be there and keep them comfortable, no matter what happened. + +One day, a 3 year old child came into the room and noticed the armchair. They thought it looked so inviting and cozy and wondered if it was ok to sit in. They poked it and it felt soft and comfortable. + +The child was so happy to have found such a dependable armchair.

They started to move away from the armchair but then they remembered how dependable it had been. + +The armchair had been their security blanket from the beginning. No matter what was going on in the world, it stayed the same and was always there for them. So, the child decided to trust it, and poked it one last time - and the armchair held their weight just as it had done before. + +The child felt relieved as the armchair stood strong and secure. The dependable armchair had come through for them once again. +Once upon a time, a mom and her three year old son were outside in the garden. They were enjoying their day when suddenly the son started to get nervous. He thought he saw a jug in the sky. + +The mom looked up, too. She saw the jug splitting itself into two pieces. She got so scared that she held the little boy close to her. + +The little boy asked her, "Mommy, why is the jug splitting?" + +The mom looked at him and said, "I'm not sure, sweetheart. It looks like it's scared or something. We should probably go inside and watch from inside now." + +So, the little boy and his mom went inside their house. They watched from the window as the jug split in two and flew off. + +The little boy was still nervous about what he had seen, but his mom told him not to worry. She said, "It's ok, sweetheart.

Who put the candy here?" + +Suddenly she heard a voice say, "I did! I want everyone to have some candy." Jenny looked around in surprise, but she couldn't see who was talking.

Daisy was playing in the pond one afternoon, looking for things to explore. She spotted a twig lying on the side of the pond, poking out of the shallow water. She quacked happily and happily paddled towards it. + +When Daisy got close, she tried to pick it up, but quickly realised it was too wet. She decided to try and soak it up, so she hopped out of the pond and found a towel to dry it off. + +Once the twig had been dried off, Daisy noticed something amazing. The twig had a beautiful heart shape carved into it! Daisy was so delighted that she quacked with glee. + +She tucked the twig under her arm and brought it home, and from then on kept it as a special treasure. Daisy was so proud of her twig that she told her friends about it. + +"It's amazing!" said one of them. + +"It sure is!" Daisy replied, with a smile on her face. +Once upon a time there was a little boy named Jack. Jack was very brave and liked to do difficult things. One day he found a knife in his house. He wanted to show it to his mom, but he was scared. When he tried to make a sound, no words came out. So he stayed quiet and held it carefully. + +Suddenly his mom came in the room. She immediately saw the knife in his hand and got worried. She said to Jack, "Why are you holding that knife? It looks very difficult." + +Jack was surprised. He had no idea his mom could be scared too. He said, "I wanted to show you. I wanted you to know I'm brave!" + +His mom smiled and said, "I know you are brave, Jack. But sometimes what looks brave can be very dangerous." + +Jack nodded and put down the knife. He was happy to know that being brave doesn't mean doing risky things. It means doing the right thing—even when it's difficult. +Once upon a time, there were two brothers, Jack and Peter. They lived together in a house. One day, Jack had a perfect object he wanted to give to Peter. But Peter said, "No, I don't want it". + +Jack was very sad and asked Peter why he didn't want it. Peter told him that he wanted something better. Jack asked what he wanted, and Peter told him he wanted a brand new toy. + +Jack said, "If you don't want this object, then I will find someone else who does". So he took the object away and went out to find someone else who could provide him with the perfect object. + +But instead of finding someone who liked the perfect object, Jack found a group of bullies. They snatched the object away and Jack was left with nothing. + +The moral of the story is that if you don't appreciate what you've been given, it will be taken away. We should always take time to appreciate what we have been given as it is more valuable than we think. +Once upon a time, there was a girl called May. May was a very clever girl and always tried hard at school. One day, after a very cold winter day, May came home with a smile on her face. + +"Mum, I did really well at school today," May said. + +"That's wonderful!" her mum replied, giving her a hug.

Being happy is the best reward of all." +Once upon a time, there lived a fox in a small clearing in the woods. She was very tired, so she decided to take a nap. + +Suddenly, a rabbit ran up to her and asked the fox why she was sleeping. The fox replied, "I'm tired, but I'm taking a nap so I can have energy and play." + +The rabbit said, "That's wonderful! I think it's important to have time to rest and be healthy." + +The fox nodded and smiled. She was happy to have a new friend. + +When she woke from her nap, the fox was feeling quite smooth and energetic. She thanked the rabbit for her advice. + +The moral of this story is that it's important to take time for rest and relaxation, so you can be healthy and energized. Nap time can be a great way to take care of your mind and body! +Once upon a time there was a body. He had a big smile on his face, and he was feeling very happy. He looked around and he could see a path he wanted to walk on. As he went along the path, he noticed things were getting messier and messier. + +He continued to walk until he reached a big patch of mud. He stopped and looked around. He noticed some footprints leading away. He followed them, and soon he found a creature in a messy room. + +The creature had a mischievous smile on his face and he asked the body, "Where'd you come from?" The body replied, "I was walking along a path." + +The creature then said, "You should be careful. Don't get yourself into a mess!" The body thought carefully about the creature's words, but he didn't understand why. But, he kept on walking. + +Later that day, the body found himself in a messy situation. He had accidentally stepped in a big puddle of mud and he was stuck! He felt frustrated and confused.

So they went to the river and dipped their feet in the cool water. As they were splashing around, they noticed a crow watching them. The person was a bit envious, as the crow could fly over the river and get a bigger dose of the refreshing water. + +"Crows are so lucky," the person said to the crow, "you can take a better bath than me!" The crow cawed and hopped closer to the person, until it was standing right next to their toes. + +"Not so lucky," said the crow. "You can touch the water with your skin, but I can only wet my feathers by flying above it." + +Moral: Everyone has different advantages. Don't envy what others have, because you never know what you'll have that they don't! +Once upon a time there were two magical creatures, a fox and an owl. The fox liked to speak with the owl at night. One night the fox said to the owl, "Come on and let's have fun!" + +The owl said, "What kind of fun shall we have?" + +The fox said, "Let's go for a wild run!" + +The owl replied, "Yes, that sounds fun!" So both the fox and the owl started running and running. They went through fields, over hills, and across rivers. + +Finally they stopped to rest by a pond. As they were resting they noticed a frog hopping. The frog asked, "Why are you two running?" + +The fox and the owl smiled and said, "We are having a wild race! Would you like to join us?" + +The frog said, "Yes!" and so all three creatures continued the wild race. The fox hopped, the owl flew, and the frog hopped. But the frog wasn't as fast as the fox and the owl so, the frog said, "Wait for me!" + +The fox and owl stopped and noticed the frog was barefoot. So the owl plucked a single feather from her tail and said, "Put this on your toe and you'll be able to go faster." + +The frog put the feather on its toe and hopped off with the fox and owl. They continued the +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sarah. One day Sarah wanted to do something fun. She asked her mom, "Mommy, can I make paper planes?"

Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, I do!" + +So Sarah's mom showed Sarah how to fold the paper to make a paper plane. She said, "See? You just fold the paper like this and this." + +Sarah gave it a try and the paper plane flew in the air! She was so happy and shouted, "Mommy, look! I did it!" Sarah's mom smiled and said, "That's great! You should lead the way and show me how it's done." + +Sarah smiled and grabbed another piece of paper. She hastily folded it to make another paper plane. She flew it around and then her mom said,"That's great, Sarah! Now we both know how to make paper planes.

They were having so much fun and were safe the whole time! +Once there was a little girl who had a jeep. She loved her jeep and wanted to show it off to all of her friends.

The sun was bright, birds were singing and the trees were swaying in the breeze. Suddenly, he noticed a shiny, silver chain lying on the ground. It glimmered in the sunlight. Jack had never seen a chain before, so he was curious and wanted to pick it up. But then he saw something terrible - a big, filthy rat! + +The rat snarled at Jack and told him to leave the chain alone. Jack was scared and backed away slowly. Then the rat picked up the chain and smiled a wicked smile. + +Jack didn't understand why the rat wanted the chain, but he remembered that day for the rest of his life. + +One night, Jack was in the same forest path when something strange happened. It had begun to rain, and the ground was slippery. He heard the rattling of a chain, and before he knew what was happening, the rat had fallen from a tree! It struggled to stay on the ground, but its chains weighed it down and it fell flat onto the ground. + +Jack chuckled to himself and said, "Now I understand why the rat wanted the chain - to prevent himself from falling!" He walked away with a smile on his face, happy to have figured out the mystery. +Today, Jenny and her mom went to the store. Jenny was very excited because she was going to decorate her room. + +When they arrived, Jenny's mom said to her, "Let's pick out decorations for your room."

They are ready to blast off. + +They count down from ten. "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero!" They make a loud noise. "Boom!" They shake the box. They pretend they are flying to the moon. They look out the windows. They see stars and planets. They see a blue planet. They want to go there. + +They land on the blue planet. They open the box. They step out. They see blue grass and blue trees. They see blue animals. They see a blue bird. The bird has a spark on its tail. The spark is bright and shiny. The bird flies to them. It says, "Hello, space explorers. Welcome to Blue Land. Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna and Ben are happy. They say, "Yes, we want to play with you. You are a nice bird. You have a pretty spark. What is your name?" The bird says, "My name is Sparky. I can show you around Blue Land. There are many fun things to do here. Come with me." + +Anna and Ben follow Sparky. They play with the blue animals. They pick blue flowers. They swing on blue vines. They have a lot of fun. They forget about their rocket. They forget about their home. They only think about Blue Land and Sparky. They pretend they are blue too. +Anna was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She liked to ride her bike, but it was no fun alone. She wished she had someone to talk to and share her bike with. + +One day, she saw a boy in the park. He had a bike too, but it was old and rusty. He looked sad and lonely too. Anna wanted to say hello, but she was shy. She did not know his name or if he would like her. + +She rode her bike closer to him, but not too close. She watched him pedal slowly around the grass. He did not see her. She wanted to whisper something to him, but she did not know what. + +She thought of a nice thing to say. She took a deep breath and whispered, "Hi, I like your bike. Can we be friends?" + +The boy heard her and looked up. He saw her smile and her shiny bike. He smiled back and whispered, "Hi, I like your bike too. Yes, we can be friends." + +Anna felt happy. She had made a new friend. She rode her bike next to him and they talked and laughed. They pedaled faster and faster, feeling the wind in their hair. They were not lonely anymore. They had each other. +Lily did not like pasta. She thought it was slimy and boring. She wanted to eat cake or ice cream or pizza. But every night, her mom made pasta for dinner. Lily always made a face and said, "No, thank you." + +One night, her mom had a surprise. She put a big bowl of pasta on the table, but it was not plain pasta. It was pasta with cheese and ham and peas. It smelled good and looked colorful. Lily's mom said, "This is a special pasta. It is called macaroni and cheese. Do you want to try some?" + +Lily was curious. She liked cheese and ham and peas. Maybe the pasta was not so bad with them. She took a small bite and chewed. It was warm and creamy and tasty. She took another bite and smiled. She liked the pasta. She said, "This is good, mom. Can I have more?" + +Her mom was happy. She said, "Of course, you can. I'm glad you like it. You see, sometimes you have to try new things. You might find something you enjoy." + +Lily nodded. She learned a lesson. She decided to surrender her dislike of pasta and give it a chance. She ate her whole plate and asked for dessert. She was not miserable anymore. She was full and happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were mail carriers and deliver letters to each other. Lily had a big envelope in her hand. She wrote "To Ben" on it with a crayon. She knocked on the couch where Ben was sitting. + +"Mail for you, Ben!" she said. + +Ben opened his eyes and smiled. He took the envelope from Lily and opened it. Inside, there was a picture of a flower that Lily had drawn. Ben liked the flower. He said, "Thank you, Lily. This is a nice letter. What is the flower for?" + +Lily shrugged. She said, "I just like flowers. They are pretty and smell good. Do you like flowers, Ben?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "I do. But I like you more. You are my best friend." + +Lily smiled. She said, "You are my best friend too, Ben. Can I sit with you on the couch?" + +Ben moved over and made some room for Lily. He said, "Of course. Come here." + +Lily sat next to Ben and hugged him. They looked at the picture of the flower together. They felt happy and warm. + +But then, they heard a loud voice from the kitchen. It was Mom. She said, "Lily, Ben, time for lunch. Come to the table now." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to leave the couch. They liked playing mail carriers. They liked the envelope and the flower. They liked being together. + +They felt uncomfortable. They did not want to make Mom angry. But they did not want to stop playing either. + +They did not answer Mom. They hoped she would not notice. They stayed on the couch and hugged each other. They wished they could play mail carriers forever. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys of different colors and shapes. Lily liked to sort her toys by color. She put all the red toys in one pile, all the blue toys in another pile, and so on. Max liked to sort his toys by shape. He put all the round toys in one pile, all the square toys in another pile, and so on. + +"Look, Lily, I sorted my toys by shape. Do you want to play with them?" Max asked. + +"No, thank you, Max. I sorted my toys by color. I like them better this way," Lily said. + +"But my toys are more fun. You can roll them and stack them and make patterns with them," Max said. + +"I don't care. I like my toys more. They are bright and pretty and match each other," Lily said. + +They started to argue about whose toys were better. They raised their voices and pulled each other's toys. They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the kitchen. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" their mom said. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting over your toys?" + +"Lily won't play with my toys. She only likes her toys by color," Max said. + +"Max won't play with my toys. He only likes his toys by shape," Lily said. + +Their mom sighed. She had an idea. She took a big basket and put it in the middle of the living room. + +"Listen, Lily and Max. I have a challenge for you. Can you sort all your toys together in the basket? You can use both color and shape to sort them. For example, you can put all the red round toys in one corner, all the blue square toys in another corner, and so on. Do you think you can do that?" their mom asked. + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They thought it sounded interesting. They nodded. + +"Okay, then. Let's see how fast and how well you can sort your toys together. Ready, set, go!" their mom said. + +Lily and Max started to sort their toys together. They worked as a team. They helped each other find the right toys and put them in the right places. They had fun and learned new things. They forgot about their argument. + +"Wow, you did a great job, Lily and Max. You sorted all your toys in the basket. How do you feel?" their mom asked. + +"We feel happy, mom. We had fun. We like our toys by color and by shape. We like to play together," Lily and Max said. + +"That's wonderful, my sweeties. I'm proud of you. You know, you can sort your toys in many different ways. You can sort them by size, by sound, by texture, by function, and so on. Sorting is a good way to learn and to have fun. But the most important thing is to share and to respect each other's preferences. Do you understand?" their mom asked. + +"Yes, mom. We understand. We love you, mom. Can we hug you?" Lily and Max asked. + +"Of course, you can. Come here, my darlings. Let me hug you. You are warm and cozy. It's cold outside, but it's warm inside. We are a happy family," their mom said. +Tim and Jen like to play in the kitchen. They see a big jar of sugar on the shelf. They want to taste it. They climb on a chair and reach for the jar. But the jar is too heavy and they drop it. The jar breaks and sugar spills everywhere. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess and gets very angry. She scolds Tim and Jen for being naughty and dangerous. She says they could have hurt themselves or cut themselves with the glass. She says they have to clean up the sugar and go to their room. + +Tim and Jen are very sorry and scared. They try to clean up the sugar but it is sticky and hard. They cry and say they are sorry. Mom is still angry and does not hug them. She sends them to their room and says they cannot play anymore today. + +Tim and Jen are very sad and worried. They think Mom does not love them anymore. They hug each other and hope Mom will forgive them. They wish they never touched the sugar jar. They learn a hard lesson. The end. +Ben and Sam are two dogs who live in a big house with their human. They like to play, sleep and eat. Sometimes, their human gives them meat for dinner. Meat is their favorite food. + +One day, their human goes out and leaves them alone. Ben and Sam are bored. They look around the house for something to do. They see a big bag on the table. It smells good. They think it is meat. + +"Let's get the meat!" Ben says to Sam. "It will be yummy!" + +Sam nods. He is hungry too. They jump on the table and open the bag. But it is not meat. It is something else. It is green and leafy. It is salad. + +"Yuck!" Ben says. "This is not meat. This is rabbit food. We don't like rabbit food." + +Sam agrees. He spits out the salad. He is still hungry. He looks around the table. He sees a small box. It smells better. He thinks it is meat. + +"Look, Ben!" Sam says. "There is more meat. It is in this box. Let's get it!" + +Ben follows Sam. They open the box. But it is not meat. It is something else. It is brown and sticky. It is chocolate. + +"Wow!" Ben says. "This is not meat. This is sweet. We like sweet." + +Sam agrees. He takes a bite of the chocolate. He likes it. He takes another bite. He gives some to Ben. Ben likes it too. They eat the whole box. + +But soon, they feel sick. Their stomachs hurt. They feel dizzy. They regret eating the chocolate. + +"Sam, I don't feel good," Ben says. "We should not have eaten the sweet. It is bad for us." + +Sam nods. He feels the same. He wishes they had meat instead. He hears the door open. He sees their human come in. He is alert. + +"Human, we are sorry," Sam says. "We ate the sweet. It was a mistake. Please help us." + +Their human sees the mess on the table. He sees the salad and the chocolate. He sees the dogs. He is angry. + +"Ben, Sam, what have you done?" he says. "You have been naughty. You have eaten my food. You have made a mess. You have made yourselves sick. You need to go to the vet." + +He picks up the dogs and puts them in the car. He drives them to the vet. The vet gives them medicine. He tells them to rest. He tells their human to be more careful. + +Ben and Sam are sorry. They promise to be good. They promise to only eat meat. They hope their human will forgive them. They hope they will feel better soon. +Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat breakfast. She went to the kitchen and saw Mom. Mom was making cereal for Lily and Sam. + +"Can I have cereal, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, you can, Lily. Here is your bowl. Be careful, it is hot." Mom said. + +Lily took the bowl and went to the table. She saw Sam. Sam was eating cereal too. He had a big spoon. + +"Hi, Lily. Do you want some of my cereal?" Sam asked. + +Lily looked at Sam's cereal. It was different from hers. It had nuts and raisins. Lily did not like nuts and raisins. She liked her cereal. It had honey and bananas. + +"No, thank you, Sam. I like my cereal." Lily said. + +Sam smiled. He liked his cereal too. He did not mind that Lily did not want some. + +"That's okay, Lily. We can eat different cereals. We are still friends." Sam said. + +Lily smiled back. She was happy that Sam was nice. She accepted that they liked different things. She ate her cereal and enjoyed it. It was hot and sweet. She felt full and warm. She thanked Mom for the cereal. She gave Sam a hug. She was ready to play. +Ben and Mia were lost in the big sand. They were very hot and thirsty. They wanted to find water and shade. They saw a green spot far away. They thought it was an oasis. + +"Look, Mia, maybe there is water there!" Ben said. + +"Let's go, Ben, maybe we can drink and rest there!" Mia said. + +They ran towards the green spot. But it was not an oasis. It was a trap. It was a big hole with smooth walls. Ben and Mia fell into the hole. They could not climb out. They screamed for help. But no one heard them. + +They were stuck in the hole. They had no water and no shade. They were very sad and scared. They wished they had stayed with their parents. They cried and hugged each other. They did not know what to do. They hoped someone would find them. But no one did. +Lily loves ponies. She has a toy pony that she plays with every day. She calls her pony Sparky, because he has a shiny star on his forehead. Lily likes to race with Sparky around the house. She makes him run fast and jump over pillows and books. + +One day, Lily goes to the farm with her mom and dad. She sees many real ponies in a big field. They are brown, black, white, and spotted. They have long tails and soft fur. Lily wants to pet them and feed them carrots. She asks her mom and dad if she can go closer. + +"Okay, but be careful," her mom says. "Don't go too near the fence. The ponies might be scared of you." + +Lily nods and holds her mom's hand. She walks slowly to the field. She sees a white pony with a shiny star on his forehead. He looks like Sparky. Lily smiles and waves at him. + +"Hello, pony," she says. "You are very pretty. Do you want a carrot?" + +The pony lifts his head and looks at Lily. He is alert and curious. He sees the carrot in Lily's hand. He walks to the fence and stretches his neck. He sniffs the carrot and nibbles it gently. Lily giggles and strokes his nose. + +"You are very nice, pony," she says. "Do you like to race, too?" + +The pony nods and whinnies. He runs along the fence and kicks his legs. He wants to play with Lily. Lily laughs and runs with him. She pretends he is Sparky. She makes him jump over sticks and stones. + +"You are very fast, pony," she says. "You are a good racer. I like you very much." + +The pony likes Lily, too. He follows her and nuzzles her hair. He thinks she is a good friend. He wishes she could stay with him. Lily hugs him and gives him another carrot. + +"Goodbye, pony," she says. "I have to go now. But I will come back soon. You are my favorite pony." + +The pony watches Lily leave. He feels sad, but also happy. He hopes to see her again. He thinks she is his favorite girl. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide, Mia!" Tom says. + +"OK, Tom!" Mia says. + +They run to the slide. They leave their toys on a bench. They take turns to go on the slide. They have fun. + +But then, they see a man. The man is bad. He is a thief. He takes their toys from the bench. He puts them in a bag. He runs away. + +"Hey, that's our toys!" Tom says. + +"Stop, thief!" Mia says. + +They run after the thief. They shout for help. Their moms hear them. They see the thief. They call the police. + +The police come. They catch the thief. They get the toys back. They give them to Tom and Mia. + +"Thank you, police!" Tom and Mia say. + +"You're welcome, kids!" the police say. + +The thief is sad. He is silly. He should not take toys. He goes to jail. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They hug their moms. They hug each other. They play with their toys. They are good friends. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were heroes who saved the world from bad guys. Tom had a cape and a mask. Mia had a hat and a belt. + +"Look, there is a bad guy!" Tom said, pointing to a big dog. "He wants to take our toys!" + +"No, he doesn't!" Mia said. "He is a nice dog. He just wants to play." + +Tom ran towards the dog. He wanted to slap him and make him go away. Mia followed him. She wanted to stop him and make him be nice. + +"Stop, Tom, stop!" Mia shouted. "Don't slap the dog! He is not a bad guy!" + +But Tom did not listen. He slapped the dog on the nose. The dog barked and growled. He was angry and scared. He bit Tom on the arm. Tom cried and dropped his cape. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom screamed. "The dog bit me! Help, help!" + +Mia ran to Tom. She hugged him and said sorry. She took his cape and wrapped it around his arm. She called for help. + +"You are not a hero, Tom," Mia said. "You are a meanie. You hurt the dog. You hurt yourself. You hurt me." + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Tom said. "I was wrong. I was not a hero. I was a silly. I want to be a hero. I want to be nice." + +Mia smiled and kissed his cheek. She said it was okay. She said they could still be heroes. They could be heroes who helped the dog and said sorry. They could be heroes who learned from their mistakes. They could be heroes who loved each other. + +The dog licked their faces. He was not angry anymore. He was happy and friendly. He wanted to play. + +Tom and Mia were excited. They played with the dog. They gave him their toys. They petted him and talked to him. They made a new friend. + +They were heroes. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of junk near the swings. They run to the junk and start to look for things. + +Sara finds a shiny ring. She thinks it is beautiful. She puts it on her finger and shows Ben. Ben likes the ring too. He wants to hold it. He asks Sara to share. + +Sara says no. She says it is her ring. She says she found it first. She says Ben can find his own ring. Ben feels sad. He tries to find another ring, but he cannot. + +Then, a lady comes to the junk. She looks angry. She says the junk is hers. She says she lost her ring in the junk. She says the ring is very important to her. She sees Sara's finger. She sees her ring. + +She goes to Sara and takes the ring. She says thank you. She says the ring was a gift from her grandma. She says the ring is very old and very special. She says she is very happy to find it. + +Sara feels bad. She feels sorry. She says sorry to the lady. She says sorry to Ben. She says she was selfish. She says she should have shared. She says she learned a lesson. + +Ben hugs Sara. He says it is okay. He says he forgives her. He says he loves her. He says they can play together. He says they can find other things to play with. He says they do not need junk. He says they have each other. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play games. But they are very competitive. They always want to win. + +One day, they play hide and seek. Anna is the seeker. She counts to ten. Ben runs to find a good spot. He sees the couch. He thinks it is a perfect place to hide. He rushes to the couch. He slides under it. He is very quiet. + +Anna finishes counting. She says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks around the room. She does not see Ben. She thinks he is hiding well. She checks behind the curtains. She checks under the table. She checks in the closet. She does not find him. + +She goes back to the couch. She thinks maybe he is behind it. She walks around it. She does not see him. She is confused. She says, "Ben, where are you? I can't find you!" + +Ben hears her. He smiles. He thinks he is very clever. He thinks he will win. He decides to surprise her. He jumps out from under the couch. He says, "Boo!" + +Anna is startled. She screams. She falls back. She bumps her head on the wall. She starts to cry. + +Ben feels bad. He did not mean to hurt her. He runs to her. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was just playing. Are you okay?" + +Anna stops crying. She rubs her head. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I was just scared. You hid very well. You win." + +Ben hugs her. He says, "Thank you, Anna. But you are a good seeker. You almost found me. You are very smart." + +They smile. They are not competitive anymore. They are happy. They decide to play another game. They choose a game that is not scary. They choose a game that is fun. They choose a game that they can play together. They choose to play with their blocks. They build a big tower. They have a lot of fun. +Tom and Anna liked to pretend they were models. They would dress up in their mom's clothes and shoes and walk around the house. They would pose in front of the mirror and say things like "I am so pretty" and "Look at me, I am a star". + +One day, their mom had a surprise for them. She said she had a friend who was a real model and she wanted them to meet her. Tom and Anna were very excited. They thought they would learn some tips and tricks from the model and maybe even get to try on some of her clothes. + +They went to the park with their mom and waited for the model to arrive. They saw a lady walking towards them. She was tall and thin and had long blonde hair. She wore a pink dress and a big hat and sunglasses. She looked very fancy and glamorous. Tom and Anna thought she was the model. + +But when she came closer, they saw that she was not very nice. She did not smile or say hello. She looked at Tom and Anna with a frown and said "Who are these kids? They are so messy and plain. They have no style or grace. They should not be here. They are ruining my photoshoot." + +Tom and Anna felt hurt and confused. They did not understand why the lady was so mean. They looked at their mom, who was also surprised and angry. She said "This is not my friend. This is a mistake. My friend is a model, but she is also modest and kind. She does not judge people by how they look. She is not here yet. She is late because she had to help someone on the way. She is the real star, not this rude lady." + +Then they saw another lady walking towards them. She was also tall and thin and had long brown hair. She wore a blue dress and a small hat and no sunglasses. She looked simple and elegant. She smiled and waved at them. She said "Hi, I am Lisa. I am a model and a friend of your mom. I am so sorry I am late. I saw a lady who had fallen and hurt her knee. I stopped to help her and call an ambulance. Are you Tom and Anna? You are so cute and sweet. Do you like to pretend you are models? I do too. It is fun and creative. Do you want to join me for a photoshoot? We can share some clothes and accessories and have a good time." + +Tom and Anna felt happy and curious. They liked Lisa. She was nice and friendly. They nodded and said "Yes, please. We want to join you. You are a good model and a good person. We want to be like you." + +They followed Lisa to a spot where there was a camera and a tripod. They took turns to pose and smile and have fun. They tried on some of Lisa's clothes and accessories and she complimented them on how they looked. They felt proud and confident. They had a great time. + +The rude lady watched them from a distance. She felt jealous and angry. She wished she had been nicer and more modest. She realized she had missed a chance to make some new friends and have some fun. She learned a lesson. She decided to change her attitude and be more like Lisa. She hoped it was not too late. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy boat in the pond. They use a long stick to push the boat in the water. They pretend the boat is a pirate ship and they are the captains. + +One day, a big dog comes to the pond. The dog sees the boat and wants to play with it. The dog jumps in the water and swims to the boat. He tries to bite the boat with his teeth. + +Tim and Sam are fearful. They shout at the dog. "No, dog! Go away! That is our boat! You cannot have it!" + +The dog does not listen. He keeps chasing the boat. He makes loud barks and splashes. + +Tim and Sam run to their mom. They tell her about the dog. Mom is angry. She goes to the pond and yells at the dog. "Bad dog! Leave the boat alone! Go back to your owner!" + +The dog is scared of mom. He stops barking and swimming. He runs away from the pond. + +Tim and Sam are happy. They hug their mom and thank her. They go back to the pond and play with their boat. They are not fearful anymore. They are brave. +Tom and Lily wanted to bake a cake for their mom. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, and some sugar in the kitchen. They also saw a can of tuna on the shelf. + +"Let's put some tuna in the cake," Tom said. "It will make it yummy and healthy." + +"No, Tom, that's a bad idea," Lily said. "Tuna is for cats, not for cakes. Mom will not like it." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He opened the can of tuna and poured it into the bowl. He mixed it with the eggs, the flour, and the sugar. He made a big mess. + +Lily was angry. She grabbed the bowl and tried to take it away from Tom. But Tom held on to it. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She came into the kitchen and saw the tuna cake. She was surprised and unhappy. "What are you doing? This is not how you bake a cake. This is how you waste food and make a mess." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They wanted to make Mom happy, not unhappy. They said they were sorry and helped Mom clean the kitchen. + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay. I know you wanted to do something nice for me. But next time, please ask me before you bake anything. And remember, tuna is not for cakes. It is for cats. Or for sandwiches. But not for cakes." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to bake a new cake for Mom. A cake without tuna. A cake with chocolate and cherries. A cake that Mom would like. And they used a recipe book. A recipe book that was useful. +Lila was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She liked to make things with paper and glue, but she had no one to share them with. She wished she had a friend who liked to make things too. + +One day, she saw a new girl in her class. Her name was Mia. She had a patch on her knee. Lila thought she looked nice. She wanted to talk to her, but she was shy. + +At recess, Lila saw Mia sitting by herself on a bench. She had a book and some crayons. Lila liked books and crayons too. She decided to be brave and say hello. + +"Hi, I'm Lila," she said. "What are you doing?" + +"Hi, I'm Mia," the girl said. "I'm reading a book. It's about a princess and a dragon." + +"Wow, that sounds fun," Lila said. "Can I see?" + +Mia nodded and showed her the book. Lila liked the pictures. They were colorful and funny. + +"I like to decorate the pictures with crayons," Mia said. "Do you want to help me?" + +Lila smiled. She liked to decorate too. She took a crayon and started to draw. + +They decorated the pictures together. They made the princess's dress sparkly and the dragon's scales shiny. They added flowers and stars and hearts. They had fun. + +They became friends. They played together every day. They made things with paper and glue. They shared their books and crayons. They were not lonely anymore. They were happy. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big puddle of water near the swings. They wanted to splash in the water and make it fly. + +"Let's go to the water!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Mia said. + +They ran to the puddle and jumped in. The water was cold and wet and fun. They laughed and kicked and threw the water with their hands. They did not see the sign that said "Be careful, slippery". + +Tom tried to jump again, but his foot slipped on the mud. He fell down and hit his head on the ground. He cried out loud. It hurt a lot. + +Mia saw Tom fall and heard him cry. She stopped playing and ran to him. She was scared and worried. She wanted to help him. + +"Tom, are you OK?" Mia asked. + +She bent down and hugged him. She touched his head and saw a little blood. She felt sorry for him. + +"Tom, you are bleeding. We need to get help." Mia said. + +She looked around and saw a lady with a dog. She was thoughtful and brave. She ran to the lady and said: + +"Please, help us. My friend Tom fell and hurt his head. He needs a band-aid and a hug." + +The lady heard Mia and saw Tom. She was kind and helpful. She said: + +"Oh, poor Tom. Don't worry, I will help you. Come with me, I have a first-aid kit and a phone. I will call your parents and take you to the bench. You will be OK." + +She took Tom and Mia by the hand and led them to the bench. She cleaned Tom's wound and put a band-aid on it. She gave him a hug and a candy. She called their parents and told them what happened. She stayed with them until they came. + +Tom and Mia thanked the lady and her dog. They were happy and grateful. They learned to be careful and watch out for slippery water. They also learned to be thoughtful and help each other. They were good friends. +Tom and Lily wanted to decorate their bikes. They had stickers, ribbons, and bells. They put them on their bikes and made them look pretty and fun. + +They wanted to show their bikes to their friends. They rode to the park and saw Sam and Mia. Sam and Mia had bikes too, but they looked weird. They had license plates on them. + +"What are those?" Tom asked, pointing at the license plates. + +"They are license," Sam said. "They say our names and where we live. They make our bikes special and safe." + +"Why do you need license?" Lily asked. "We don't have license." + +"You need license if you want to ride on the road," Mia said. "Our moms and dads have license for their cars. They teach us how to ride on the road and follow the rules." + +Tom and Lily thought that was strange. They liked to ride on the sidewalk and the grass. They did not want to ride on the road with the cars. They thought the license plates were too big and ugly for their bikes. + +They said goodbye to Sam and Mia and rode back home. They liked their bikes better without license. They liked to decorate them with stickers, ribbons, and bells. They thought their bikes were pretty and fun. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Sometimes they shared their snacks and drinks. + +One day, Ben brought a sandwich for lunch. It was his favorite sandwich: cheese and ham. He was very hungry and wanted to eat it. But when he opened his lunch box, he saw that his sandwich was gone. He only had an apple and a juice. + +"Who took my sandwich?" he asked, looking around. He saw Lily sitting on a bench, holding a sandwich in her hand. It looked like his sandwich. + +"Lily, did you take my sandwich?" he asked, walking towards her. + +Lily looked at him and smiled. She nodded. + +"Yes, I did. I'm sorry, Ben. I was very hungry too. And your sandwich looked so yummy. Do you want some?" she said, holding out half of the sandwich to him. + +Ben felt angry and sad. He liked Lily, but he did not like that she took his sandwich without asking. He wanted his sandwich back. He shook his head. + +"No, I don't want some. I want my whole sandwich. You should not take things that are not yours. That is not nice. That is mean." he said, crossing his arms. + +Lily felt sorry and sad. She liked Ben, but she did not mean to make him angry. She wanted to make him happy. She thought of a way to say sorry. + +"Ben, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I should have asked you first. Please forgive me. I have something for you." she said, reaching into her pocket. + +She took out a sticker. It was a shiny sticker of a superhero. Ben liked superheroes. They were powerful and brave. + +"Look, Ben. This is for you. It is a superhero sticker. You can put it on your lunch box or your shirt. You are my superhero. You are powerful and brave. And you are my friend." she said, giving him the sticker. + +Ben looked at the sticker. It was a nice sticker. He liked superheroes. He liked Lily too. He saw that she was sorry. He decided to forgive her. + +"Thank you, Lily. This is a nice sticker. I like superheroes. I like you too. You are my friend. And you are kind." he said, taking the sticker. + +He smiled at her. She smiled back. They hugged. Then they kissed. They were happy. + +They ate the sandwich together. They shared the apple and the juice. They played in the park again. They had a lot of fun. They were best friends. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to eat lollipops. Mom gave them one each. Anna had a red one and Ben had a blue one. + +"Look, my lollipop is like the sky!" Ben said, holding it up. + +"Mine is like a flower!" Anna said, licking hers. + +They were happy and calm. + +But then, a big cloud came. It was dark and scary. It made a loud noise. It was going to rain. + +"Oh no!" Anna and Ben said. They ran to the bench where Mom was sitting. They did not want to get wet. + +"Mom, Mom, can we cover with your coat?" they asked. + +"Of course, my loves," Mom said. She smiled and wrapped them in her coat. They felt warm and safe. + +They still had their lollipops. They shared them with Mom. + +They watched the rain fall. It was like a shower of sparkles. + +They were happy and calm. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big tent with many colors. They heard music and laughter from inside. + +"Let's go see what's in there," Sara said. + +"OK, but be careful. It looks mysterious," Tom said. + +They walked to the tent and peeked inside. They saw many people in funny clothes and hats. They saw a man with a long beard and a wand. He was doing magic tricks. He made a rabbit appear from a hat. He made a flower change colors. He made a coin disappear and reappear. + +"Wow, he's amazing!" Sara said. + +"Do you want to join me and learn some magic?" the man asked them with a smile. + +"Yes, please!" Sara and Tom said. + +"Come in, come in. I'll teach you some easy tricks. You can be my helpers," the man said. + +He gave them each a hat and a wand. He showed them how to wave the wand and say the magic words. He taught them how to make a scarf turn into a snake. He taught them how to make a balloon pop with a snap. He taught them how to make a card fly out of a deck. + +Sara and Tom had a lot of fun. They learned some magic. They helped the man with his show. They made the people laugh and clap. + +They thanked the man for teaching them. They said goodbye to the people. They went back to the park. They showed their friends their new tricks. + +They felt happy and proud. They had joined a mysterious and wonderful world. +Tom and Mia liked to pretend they were doctors. They had a toy kit with a stethoscope, a thermometer, a bandage and a syringe. They took turns to check each other's heart, temperature, wound and blood. + +One day, they decided to play with their dog, Spot. Spot was a good dog, but he did not like the syringe. He thought it was a stick and he wanted to bite it. Tom and Mia did not know that. + +"Spot, you are sick. We need to give you a test," Tom said. He put the stethoscope on Spot's chest and listened. "Your heart is too fast. You need a shot." + +Mia nodded. She took the syringe and tried to poke Spot's leg. But Spot did not like that. He growled and snapped at the syringe. He broke it with his teeth. + +"Oh no! Spot, you are bad! You broke our rare toy!" Mia cried. She was sad and angry. + +Tom was scared and sorry. He hugged Mia and Spot. "I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, Spot. We should not pretend with you. You are not a toy. You are our friend." + +Spot licked Tom and Mia's faces. He was sorry too. He did not mean to break their toy. He just wanted to play. + +Tom and Mia forgave Spot. They threw away the broken syringe and played with the other toys. They still pretended they were doctors, but they only checked each other. They never checked Spot again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make up stories with their cars and dolls. They were having fun until a big boy came and took Lily's doll. He said it was his and ran away. + +"Hey, that's not nice! Give it back!" Tom shouted. He ran after the big boy, but he was too fast. Lily started to cry. She loved her doll very much. + +Tom felt angry and sad. He wanted to protect Lily and her doll. He looked around and saw a policeman. He ran to him and said, "Please, help us! A big boy took my sister's doll and he was very rude!" + +The policeman listened to Tom's voice and nodded. He followed Tom to where the big boy was. He saw him playing with Lily's doll and said, "Excuse me, young man, where did you get that doll?" + +The big boy looked up and saw the policeman. He felt scared and said, "I found it on the ground. It's mine now." + +The policeman shook his head and said, "That's not true. That doll belongs to this little girl. You should not take things that are not yours. That's stealing and that's wrong. You should say sorry and give it back." + +The big boy felt ashamed and said, "I'm sorry. Here, take it." He handed the doll to the policeman, who gave it to Lily. Lily hugged her doll and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Mr. Policeman. You are very nice." + +The policeman smiled and said, "You're welcome, little girl. And thank you, little boy, for telling me what happened. You are very brave and kind. You protected your sister and her doll. That's very good." + +Tom and Lily thanked the policeman again and went back to their toys. They continued to play and make up stories. They were happy and safe. +Lily likes to watch videos on her tablet. She likes videos of animals, songs and stories. Sometimes she watches videos with her mom or dad, and they talk about what they see. + +One day, Lily sees a new video on her tablet. It is about a big train that goes very fast. Lily likes trains, so she taps on the video. The video shows the train passing by many things, like houses, trees, cars and people. Lily thinks the video is very interesting. She wants to show it to her mom. + +She runs to the kitchen, where her mom is making lunch. She says, "Mom, mom, look at this video! It is a train video. It is very interesting. The train passes by many things. Can you watch it with me?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "Sure, Lily, I can watch it with you. But first, can you pass me the bread? I need to make sandwiches for us." + +Lily nods and passes the bread to her mom. Then she sits on a chair and holds her tablet. She says, "OK, mom, now we can watch the video. Look, the train is passing by a bridge. Do you see it?" + +Her mom says, "Yes, Lily, I see it. The train is very big and fast. And the bridge is very high and long. The video is very interesting. Thank you for showing it to me." + +Lily and her mom watch the video together, and they enjoy it very much. They learn new things about trains and bridges. They also hug and kiss each other, and they are very happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with colors. They have red, blue, yellow and green paints. They want to make a new color. + +"What color do you want to make?" Lily asks Ben. + +"I want to make purple. Purple is pretty," Ben says. + +"How do we make purple?" Lily wonders. + +"Maybe we mix red and blue. Red and blue make purple," Ben guesses. + +They take some red paint and some blue paint. They mix them together. They see a new color. + +"Look, we made purple!" Lily says happily. + +They paint with purple. They paint flowers, stars, and animals. They have fun. + +But then, Ben has a funny idea. He takes some purple paint and puts it on his nose. He looks at Lily and makes a funny face. + +"Boo!" he says. + +Lily laughs. She thinks Ben is funny. She takes some purple paint and puts it on her cheeks. She makes a funny face too. + +"Boo!" she says. + +They laugh and laugh. They have purple faces. They are funny friends. They like to make purple. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they liked to eat cherries most of all. Cherries were sweet and red and juicy. They made them happy. + +One day, they saw a big tree full of cherries in the park. They ran to the tree and picked some cherries. They ate them and smiled. They wanted more cherries. They climbed the tree and reached for the highest cherries. They thought the highest cherries were the best cherries. + +But they did not see the sign on the tree. The sign said: "Do not pick the cherries. They belong to Mr. Fox. He is famous for his cherry pies. He will be very angry if you take his cherries." + +Mr. Fox was walking to the park. He had a big basket and a knife. He wanted to make his famous cherry pies. He loved his cherry pies. He sold them to the people in the town. They paid him a lot of money for his cherry pies. He was proud of his cherry pies. + +He saw his cherry tree. He saw Lily and Max on his cherry tree. He saw them eating his cherries. He was very angry. He shouted: "Hey, you! Get off my cherry tree! Stop eating my cherries! They are mine! I need them for my cherry pies!" + +Lily and Max heard Mr. Fox. They were scared. They dropped their cherries and climbed down the tree. They ran away from Mr. Fox. They said: "Sorry, Mr. Fox! We did not know they were your cherries! We like cherries, but we do not like angry foxes!" + +Mr. Fox chased them. He said: "You should have read the sign! You should have asked me! You should have respected my cherry tree! You are naughty children! I will catch you and make you pay for my cherries!" + +Lily and Max ran faster. They ran to their parents. They told them what happened. Their parents were not happy. They said: "Lily and Max, you did a bad thing. You should not take things that are not yours. You should say sorry to Mr. Fox. You should give him some money for his cherries." + +Lily and Max felt sorry. They said: "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We are sorry, Mr. Fox. We will give you some money for your cherries. We will not do it again. We will be good children." + +Mr. Fox heard them. He stopped chasing them. He said: "Well, thank you, Lily and Max. I accept your apology. I accept your money. I will not be angry anymore. I will make my cherry pies. But next time, please ask me before you pick my cherries. Maybe I will share some with you. Maybe you will like my cherry pies. They are famous, you know." +Lily and Max were very happy. They moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. They wanted to find their toys and books. + +"Can we watch a movie after we unpack?" Max asked Mom. + +"Sure, honey. We can watch a movie on the big TV in the living room. What movie do you want to watch?" Mom said. + +"I want to watch the movie with the dinosaurs. They are big and loud and scary. I like them." Max said. + +"I want to watch the movie with the princess. She is pretty and kind and brave. I like her." Lily said. + +Mom smiled. "How about we watch both movies? We can watch one movie first and then the other movie later. Does that sound good?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They agreed to watch both movies. They helped Mom unpack the boxes. They found their toys and books and put them in their rooms. They were very excited to watch the movies. + +They went to the living room and sat on the couch. Mom turned on the TV and put the first movie in the DVD player. It was the movie with the dinosaurs. Lily and Max watched the movie. They saw the dinosaurs run and roar and fight. They saw the people run and hide and scream. They saw the volcano erupt and the lava flow. + +"Wow, this movie is weird. How can dinosaurs be alive? They are not real. They are only bones in the museum." Lily said. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is magic. Maybe they came from another planet. Maybe they are just pretend. But I like them. They are cool." Max said. + +They watched the movie until the end. They liked the movie. They clapped and cheered. They were ready to watch the next movie. It was the movie with the princess. +Sam and Lily liked to watch movies on the big TV. They had many movies to choose from, but they always wanted to watch the same one. It was about a big green monster who was grumpy and lived in a swamp. They liked the monster and his funny friends. + +One day, Sam and Lily wanted to watch the movie again, but their mom said no. She said they had watched it too many times and they needed to do something else. She said they could play with their toys, read a book, or draw a picture. But Sam and Lily did not want to do any of those things. They wanted to watch the movie. + +They had an idea. They waited until their mom was busy in the kitchen. Then they sneaked into the living room and took the movie from the shelf. They put it in the DVD player and turned on the TV. They turned the volume down low so their mom would not hear. They sat on the couch and covered themselves with a blanket. They thought they were very clever. + +But their mom was not fooled. She heard the TV and came into the living room. She saw the blanket on the couch and lifted it up. She saw Sam and Lily watching the movie. She was not happy. She turned off the TV and took the movie out. She said they were naughty and they had to go to their rooms. She said they could not watch the movie for a week. + +Sam and Lily were sad and angry. They did not want to go to their rooms. They wanted to watch the movie. They stomped their feet and cried. They said their mom was mean and grumpy. They said they hated her. + +But their mom did not hate them. She loved them. She knew they were just kids and they liked the movie. She also knew they needed to learn to listen and to do other things. She hoped they would calm down and say sorry. She hoped they would understand. She hoped they would still love her. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big train on the rail. The train is long and loud. It has many cars with people and things. + +"Wow, look at the train!" Lily says. "It is so big and fast!" + +"Can we go closer?" Ben asks. He wants to see the train better. + +Lily is anxious. She knows the rail is dangerous. She shakes her head. "No, we have to stay away. The train can hurt us. Mommy said so." + +But Ben does not listen. He runs to the rail. He wants to touch the train. He does not see the sign that says "Stop". + +Lily is scared. She shouts at Ben. "Ben, come back! The train is coming! You have to stop!" + +Ben hears Lily. He turns around. He sees the train. It is very close. It is almost at the end of the rail. He is afraid. He tries to run back. But he is too late. + +The train hits Ben. Ben falls down. He does not move. He does not talk. He is gone. + +Lily cries. She runs to Ben. She hugs him. She says "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry." + +The end. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with paper and glue. They made many things with paper and glue, like hats, flowers, and animals. Lily had a pair of scissors that she used to cut the paper. She liked her scissors very much and did not want to share them with anyone. + +One day, Ben asked Lily if he could use her scissors to make a star. Lily said no. She said, "These are my scissors. I own them. You can't use them. Go away." Ben felt sad and angry. He said, "That's not nice. You should share with your friends. Sharing is good." Lily did not listen. She said, "I don't care. Go away." + +Ben went away and found a lemon on the ground. He had an idea. He took the lemon and squeezed some juice on Lily's scissors. He thought, "This will make her scissors sour. Then she will not like them anymore. Then she will learn to share." He left the lemon and the scissors on the table and ran away. + +Lily came back to the table and saw the lemon and the scissors. She picked up the scissors and tried to cut some paper. But the scissors did not cut well. They were sticky and wet. Lily tasted the scissors and made a face. They were sour. She said, "Yuck! Who did this to my scissors? They are ruined. They are sour. I can't use them anymore." + +Ben came back and saw Lily's face. He said, "I did it. I made your scissors sour. I was mad at you for not sharing. I wanted to teach you a lesson. But I'm sorry. I should not have done that. It was mean. I'm sorry." Lily looked at Ben and felt sorry too. She said, "I'm sorry too. I should have shared with you. It was selfish. I'm sorry." They hugged and said sorry to each other. They decided to share the scissors and the paper and the glue. They made a big star together and put it on the wall. They learned that sharing is better than owning. They learned that being kind is better than being sour. They were happy. +Lila and Tom are good friends. They like to play in the forest. They pretend to be animals and hunters. Lila is a deer and Tom is a hunter. They run and hide behind the trees. + +"Where are you, deer?" Tom calls. He has a stick for a gun. He looks for Lila. + +"I am here, hunter!" Lila says. She jumps out from behind a bush. She has a crown of flowers on her head. She runs away from Tom. + +Tom chases Lila. He tries to catch her. He says, "Bang, bang, I got you, deer!" + +Lila stops and falls down. She says, "Oh no, you got me, hunter! Please don't hurt me!" + +Tom comes near Lila. He smiles and says, "Don't worry, deer. I am a good hunter. I don't hurt animals. I just play with them. You are my friend." + +Lila smiles too. She says, "Thank you, hunter. You are a good friend. Can we play again?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, we can play again. Let's play something else. What do you want to be?" + +Lila thinks and says, "I want to be a bird and you can be a tree. I can fly and sing and you can give me shade and fruits." + +Tom likes the idea. He says, "OK, let's be a bird and a tree. That sounds fun!" + +They get up and go to another part of the forest. They play and laugh and have a good time. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily had a white bucket and a shovel. Ben had a red bucket and a rake. + +"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Ben said, holding up a long, slimy thing. + +"Wow, Ben, that's a big worm!" Lily said. "Can I see it?" + +Ben nodded and put the worm in Lily's bucket. Lily touched it gently. It wiggled and tickled her hand. + +"Hey, Lily, do you want to play a game?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben, what game?" Lily asked. + +"Let's play guess what's in the bucket!" Ben said. "I'll go first. You close your eyes and I'll put something in your bucket. Then you have to guess what it is." + +"OK, Ben, that sounds fun!" Lily said. She closed her eyes and waited. + +Ben looked around the backyard. He saw a flower, a rock, a stick, and a pine cone. He decided to put the pine cone in Lily's bucket. He thought it would be hard to guess. + +"OK, Lily, you can open your eyes now!" Ben said. "Guess what's in your bucket!" + +Lily opened her eyes and looked in her bucket. She saw the worm and the pine cone. She picked up the pine cone and felt its prickly scales. + +"Hmm, this is hard, Ben," Lily said. "Is it a hedgehog?" + +Ben laughed. "No, Lily, it's not a hedgehog. It's a pine cone. It comes from a tree." + +"Oh, I see, Ben," Lily said. "It's a pine cone. It's very pretty." + +"Your turn, Lily," Ben said. "You put something in my bucket and I'll guess what it is." + +Lily smiled. She had an idea. She saw something white and fluffy on the grass. She picked it up and put it in Ben's bucket. She thought it would be easy to guess. + +"OK, Ben, you can open your eyes now!" Lily said. "Guess what's in your bucket!" + +Ben opened his eyes and looked in his bucket. He saw the white and fluffy thing. He reached for it and felt its soft fur. + +"Wow, Lily, this is easy," Ben said. "It's a bunny!" + +Lily giggled. "No, Ben, it's not a bunny. It's a cat!" + +Ben gasped. He looked closer and saw the cat's ears, whiskers, and tail. He heard the cat's meow. + +"Oops, Lily, it's a cat!" Ben said. "How did you find a cat in the backyard?" + +Lily shrugged. "I don't know, Ben. Maybe it's lost. Maybe it's hungry. Maybe it wants to play with us." + +Ben smiled. "Maybe, Lily, maybe. Let's give it some water and some food. And let's name it Fluffy." + +Lily nodded. "OK, Ben, let's do that. Fluffy is a nice name. And Fluffy is a nice cat." + +They took Fluffy to the porch and gave it some water and some food. They petted it and played with it. They had a lot of fun. + +They didn't know that Fluffy belonged to their neighbor, Mrs. Green. She had been looking for Fluffy all morning. She was worried and sad. + +But soon she heard Fluffy's meow from the next yard. She followed the sound and saw Fluffy on the porch with Lily and Ben. She smiled and waved. + +"Hello, Lily, hello, Ben," she said. "I see you found my cat, Fluffy. Thank you for taking care of him. He likes you very much." + +Lily and Ben looked up and saw Mrs. Green. They recognized her from the street. They felt shy and happy. + +"Hello, Mrs. Green," they said. "We're sorry, we didn't know Fluffy was your cat. We thought he was lost. We like him very much too." + +Mrs. Green laughed. "That's OK, Lily, that's OK, Ben. Fluffy likes to wander around sometimes. He's very curious. But he always comes back home. You can play with him anytime you want. He's very friendly." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They liked Mrs. Green. They liked Fluffy. They liked playing in the backyard. They had a good day. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw an old man with a cane walking slowly on the path. Ben wanted to have some fun, so he ran behind the old man and kicked his cane. The old man fell down and cried out in pain. + +"Ha ha, that was funny!" Ben said to Lily. "Let's do it again!" + +Lily felt bad for the old man. She said to Ben, "No, that was mean! You hurt him! We should help him!" + +But Ben did not listen. He kicked the cane again and ran away. Lily stayed with the old man and tried to lift him up. She said, "I'm sorry, sir. My brother is naughty. Are you okay?" + +The old man smiled and said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. But I'm afraid I can't walk now. My leg is deep hurt. Can you call someone to help me?" + +Lily nodded and ran to find a park ranger. She told him what happened and he came with a car to take the old man to the hospital. He also said he would find Ben and teach him a lesson. + +Lily felt sorry for Ben, but she also knew he was wrong. She learned that it is not nice to make fun of others, especially those who are old or weak. She hoped Ben would learn that too. She decided to be more like the old man, who was gentle and grateful, and not like Ben, who was rude and selfish. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds like vroom and beep when they push their cars. + +One day, they decide to have a race. They choose their fastest cars and line them up on the floor. The floor is smooth and shiny. It is good for racing. + +"Are you ready, Max?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, I am ready, Lily," Max says. + +They count to three and then say, "Go!" They push their cars as hard as they can. The cars zoom across the floor. They are very fast. + +Lily's car is red and Max's car is blue. They are both very close. Lily and Max cheer for their cars. They want to win. + +But then, something happens. Max's car hits a bump on the floor. It flips over and stops. Lily's car keeps going and reaches the end of the floor. It wins the race. + +"Yay, I won!" Lily says. She jumps up and down. She is happy. + +"Aw, I lost," Max says. He is sad. He picks up his car and looks at it. + +"It's okay, Max," Lily says. She goes to him and gives him a hug. "You can try again. Your car is still good. It was just a bump." + +"Thank you, Lily," Max says. He smiles. He is not sad anymore. He hugs her back. + +They are good twins. They like to race, but they also like to share. They play with their cars some more. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots, pans, spoons and bowls from the cupboard. They filled them with water, flour, salt and sugar. They stirred and mixed and poured and tasted. + +"Look, Lily, I made a cake!" Ben said. He showed her a big pan with a sticky mess inside. "It smells good, too!" + +"Wow, Ben, that's an enormous cake!" Lily said. She wanted to see it better. She climbed on a chair and leaned over the counter. But the chair was wobbly and Lily lost her balance. She fell off the chair and knocked over the pan. The cake flew out of the pan and landed on Lily's head. SPLAT! + +"Ouch!" Lily cried. She was covered in goo. She felt wet and sticky and silly. Ben laughed. He thought it was funny. He ran to help Lily. He grabbed a towel and wiped her face. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. He was still laughing. + +"I'm okay, Ben," Lily said. She was not hurt, just messy. She laughed, too. "But your cake is not okay. It's all over me and the floor!" + +They looked at the mess. They saw flour, water, sugar and salt everywhere. They saw the empty pan on the counter. They saw the chair on its side. They saw their mom coming into the kitchen. + +"Oh, no!" they said together. They knew they were in trouble. They hoped their mom would not be too mad. They hoped she would still love them. They hoped they could still be chefs. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a long pole in the yard. They wonder what they can do with it. + +"Let's travel with the pole!" Tom says. "We can pretend it is a boat or a plane or a train." + +"OK!" Lily says. "Where do you want to go?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes animals. He says, "Let's go to the cold place where there are big white bears and penguins." + +Lily nods. She likes animals too. She says, "Let's go!" + +They put the pole on the ground and sit on it. They hold on tight. They make noises like a boat or a plane or a train. They imagine they are traveling far away. + +They see snow and ice. They see big white bears and penguins. They say hello to them. They have fun. + +They travel with the pole until it is time to go home. They are happy. They say, "That was a good adventure. We can travel with the pole again tomorrow." +Sara and Ben are playing with their bikes in the park. Sara has a new bike with a pink handle and a bell. Ben has an old bike with a blue handle and no bell. Sara likes to ring her bell and go fast. Ben likes to follow her and try to catch up. + +"Look at me, Ben!" Sara says. "I can go faster than you!" + +Ben pedals harder, but his bike is slow and makes a funny noise. He feels sad and angry. He wants a new bike like Sara. + +"Your bike is bad, Ben!" Sara says. "You need to improve it!" + +Ben stops his bike and gets off. He looks at his handle and sees a loose screw. He remembers that his dad has a tool box in the garage. He has an idea. + +"Wait here, Sara!" Ben says. "I'll be right back!" + +Ben runs to his house and finds his dad's tool box. He takes a screwdriver and goes back to the park. He tightens the screw on his handle and makes his bike better. He feels happy and proud. + +"Look at me, Sara!" Ben says. "I improved my bike!" + +Sara sees Ben coming back with his bike. She hears his bike make a smooth sound. She feels curious and surprised. + +"Wow, Ben!" Sara says. "Your bike is good now! How did you do that?" + +Ben shows Sara his screwdriver and tells her what he did. Sara smiles and claps her hands. + +"That's awesome, Ben!" Sara says. "You are very smart and alert! Can I try your bike?" + +Ben nods and lets Sara try his bike. Sara rings the bell and goes fast. Ben follows her and tries to catch up. They have fun and laugh together. They are good friends. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to look for it in the grass. + +One day, they saw a big sign near the grass. The sign had some words on it, but Ben and Lily could not read them. They only saw a picture of a flower and a cross. They did not know what it meant. + +"Let's go play in the grass with the flowers," Lily said. "They are pretty and smell nice." + +"No, we can't," Ben said. "The sign is a warning. It means we have to stay away from the grass. Maybe there are bees or thorns or something bad in there." + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She wanted to see the flowers. She ran to the grass and picked one. It was yellow and soft. She smiled and put it in her hair. + +"Look, Ben, I have a flower," she said. "It is not bad. It is nice. Come and get one too." + +Ben was worried. He saw a man walking towards them. The man had a hat and a badge and a big stick. He looked angry. + +"Hey, you kids, get out of the grass now!" the man shouted. "This is not a place for playing. This is an expensive garden. You are ruining the flowers. They are not for picking. They are for looking." + +Lily was scared. She dropped the flower and ran back to Ben. The man followed them and took their ball. + +"This is your punishment for breaking the rules," the man said. "No more ball for you. Go home and don't come back." + +Ben and Lily were sad and sorry. They wished they had listened to the warning. They learned their lesson. They never played in the grass with the flowers again. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with their wagon. Their wagon is large and red. They can put many toys in their wagon. They can pull their wagon to the park. + +One day, they go to the park with their wagon. They see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. The dog runs to them. Tom and Jen are scared. They hug each other. They hope the dog will go away. + +But the dog does not go away. The dog jumps on their wagon. The dog bites their toys. The dog makes a loud noise. The dog breaks their wagon. Tom and Jen cry. They are sad and angry. They have no wagon and no toys. + +A man comes to the park. He sees the dog and the children. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog. The dog runs to him. The man says sorry to Tom and Jen. He says he will buy them a new wagon and new toys. But Tom and Jen do not believe him. They do not want his help. They do not like him or his dog. They walk away from the park. They have no wagon, no toys, and no fun. +Lily loves balloons. She has many balloons in her room. She likes to hang them on the wall, on the door, on the lamp. She likes to see them move when the wind blows. + +One day, Lily gets a new balloon. It is big and red and shiny. She is very happy. She wants to hang it on the window. She thinks it will look pretty in the sun. + +But when she goes to the window, she feels something cold. She looks outside. She sees white and gray. She sees snow and ice. She sees people wearing hats and coats and gloves. + +Lily is confused. She does not like snow and ice. She likes sun and flowers and grass. She does not want to hang her balloon on the window. She thinks it will be cold and sad. + +She runs back to her room. She finds a warm and cozy place for her balloon. She hangs it on her bed. She hugs it and smiles. She says, "I love you, balloon. You are my friend. You are not cold. You are warm and happy." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big yellow bird in a tree. The bird can speak. It says hello to them. + +"Wow, a talking bird!" Lily says. "What is your name, bird?" + +"My name is Sunny," the bird says. "I like to sing and fly. Do you want to hear a song?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben says. "We like songs." + +Sunny sings a happy song for Lily and Ben. They clap and smile. They ask Sunny many questions. Sunny tells them about his home, his family and his friends. He tells them he likes to eat seeds and fruits. + +Lily and Ben have a lot of fun with Sunny. They share their snacks with him. They learn new words from him. They laugh at his jokes. They forget about the time. + +"Uh-oh, we have to go home now," Lily says. "It is getting dark. Our moms and dads will be worried." + +"Bye, Sunny," Ben says. "Thank you for the song and the stories. You are a nice bird." + +"Bye, Lily and Ben," Sunny says. "You are nice kids. Come back and visit me again. I will miss you." + +Lily and Ben wave to Sunny. They run to their bikes. They ride home fast. They tell their moms and dads about the yellow bird who can speak. They hope to see Sunny again soon. +Lily loved to slide on the big slide at the park. She liked to go fast and feel the wind in her hair. One day, she saw a note on the slide. It was a pink note with a heart on it. She wondered who left it there. + +She climbed up the ladder and reached for the note. But before she could grab it, a boy came running and pushed her. He wanted to slide first. He snatched the note and slid down. Lily was angry and sad. She wanted to read the note. + +She followed the boy and asked him to give her the note. He said no. He said it was his note. He said he left it there for his friend. Lily did not believe him. She thought he was lying. She tried to take the note from him, but he ran away. + +Lily chased him around the park. She was faster than him. She caught up with him near the swings. She grabbed his arm and pulled the note. He let go of the note, but he also pushed her. She fell on the ground and scraped her knee. It hurt a lot. She started to cry. + +A gentle voice said, "Are you okay?" Lily looked up and saw a girl. She had brown hair and green eyes. She was holding a band-aid. She said, "I saw what happened. That boy was mean. He took my note. I wrote it for you. I wanted to be your friend. Can I help you?" + +Lily smiled through her tears. She said, "Yes, please. Thank you. You are very nice. I want to be your friend too. What is your name?" + +The girl said, "My name is Anna. What is yours?" + +Lily said, "My name is Lily. Can I see your note?" + +Anna said, "Of course. Here it is." She handed her the note. It said, "Hi, Lily. I like your dress. Do you want to play with me? Love, Anna." + +Lily felt happy. She said, "I like your note. And I like your dress too. It has flowers on it. Do you want to slide with me?" + +Anna said, "Yes, I do. Let's go. Maybe we can find another note on the slide. A nice note." + +They held hands and ran to the slide. They slid down together, laughing and having fun. They found a new note on the slide. It was a blue note with a star on it. It said, "You are both awesome. Have a great day. From, a secret friend." +Anna liked to zip her coat when she went outside. She liked the sound and the feeling of being warm and snug. One day, she went with her dad to his work. He worked in a big place with many rooms. One of the rooms was a lab. Anna did not know what a lab was, but she was curious. + +"Dad, what do you do in the lab?" she asked. + +"I make things that help people, like medicine and machines," he said. "But you have to be careful in the lab. There are some things that are not for kids. They can be dangerous or break." + +Anna nodded. She wanted to see the things that her dad made. She followed him into the lab. There were many tables and shelves with bottles and boxes and wires. There were also some animals in cages. Anna saw a rabbit, a mouse, and a frog. She liked animals. She thought they were charming. + +"Dad, can I pet the animals?" she asked. + +"Sure, but only gently and with my permission," he said. "They are part of my work, too. They help me test the things I make." + +He showed her how to pet the rabbit and the mouse. They were soft and furry. Anna smiled. She wanted to pet the frog, too. But her dad was busy with a machine. He did not see her go to the frog's cage. She opened it and reached for the frog. The frog was slimy and cold. It did not like being touched. It jumped out of her hand and onto the floor. It hopped away. + +"Oh no!" Anna said. "The frog is loose!" + +She tried to catch the frog, but it was too fast. It zipped across the lab, knocking over bottles and boxes and wires. Some of the things spilled or sparked or made noises. Anna's dad heard the commotion and turned around. He saw the frog and the mess. + +"Anna, what did you do?" he said. "You have to stay away from the frog. It has a special medicine in it. It can make things grow bigger or smaller." + +He ran after the frog, but it was too late. The frog had hopped onto a machine that had a big red button. The button said "ON". The frog pressed the button with its foot. The machine made a loud beep and a bright flash. Anna and her dad covered their eyes. When they opened them, they saw the frog. It was not a small frog anymore. It was a giant frog. It filled the whole lab. It looked at them with big eyes. + +"Ribbit," it said. +Sam and Mia were going to the park with their mom. They liked the park because it had swings, slides and a big sandbox. They put on their hats, shoes and coats and got ready to go. + +But then mom's phone rang. It was her boss from the office. He said he needed mom to do some work right away. Mom looked sad and said sorry to Sam and Mia. + +"Can we still go to the park?" Sam asked. + +"Maybe later, honey. I have to delay our trip for a little while. I need to use the computer and send some emails. It won't take long, I promise." Mom said. + +Sam and Mia were not happy. They wanted to play outside, not stay inside. They decided to make their own fun. They found some paper, crayons and scissors and started to make masks. They cut out eyes, noses and mouths and colored them. They put the masks on their faces and pretended to be different animals. + +"Look, I'm a lion! Roar!" Sam said. + +"And I'm a monkey! Ooh-ooh-ah-ah!" Mia said. + +They ran around the house, making noises and jumping on the couch. They had a lot of fun. + +Mom finished her work and came to see them. She was surprised to see their masks. She thought they looked weird, but also cute. + +"Wow, you two are very creative! What are you doing?" Mom asked. + +"We're playing animals, mom. Do you want to join us?" Sam said. + +"Sure, why not? What animal should I be?" Mom said. + +Sam and Mia looked at each other and smiled. They had an idea. + +"You can be a giraffe, mom. Here, we made you a mask." Mia said. + +They gave mom a mask with a long neck and spots. Mom put it on and laughed. + +"OK, I'm a giraffe. Let's go to the park and see if we can find some leaves to eat." Mom said. + +Sam and Mia cheered. They grabbed their hats, shoes and coats and followed mom to the door. They were happy that mom could play with them, even if they had to delay their trip for a little while. They hoped to see some real animals at the park, too. +Sam and Lily were playing with their toy trucks in the garden. They liked to load the trucks with dirt, leaves and rocks and drive them around. They pretended they were builders and explorers. + +"Look, I found a big rock!" Sam said, holding up a gray stone. "I will load it on my truck and take it to the land." + +"What land?" Lily asked, curious. + +"The land over there, behind the fence. It looks like a hill. Maybe there is treasure there!" Sam said, pointing to a mound of dirt and grass. + +"Can I come with you?" Lily asked, eager. + +"Okay, but be careful. The fence is high and sharp. We have to climb over it." Sam said, putting the rock on his truck. + +They pushed their trucks to the fence and looked for a place to climb. They found a wooden plank leaning against the fence. They used it as a ladder and climbed over, holding their trucks. + +They reached the land and saw that it was not a hill, but a pile of garbage. There were cans, bottles, bags and other things that people threw away. It smelled bad and had flies buzzing around. + +"Yuck, this is not treasure. This is trash!" Lily said, disappointed. + +"Maybe there is something good under the trash. Let's dig and see." Sam said, persistent. + +He started to load his truck with garbage, hoping to find something shiny or interesting. Lily followed him, but she did not like it. She felt dirty and scared. + +"Sam, I don't like this land. It is ugly and stinky. Can we go back to the garden?" Lily said, whining. + +"No, we have to keep digging. Maybe we will find a toy or a coin or a ring." Sam said, stubborn. + +They dug and dug, but they only found more trash. They did not notice that the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark. They did not hear their mom calling them for dinner. They did not see the big dog that was watching them from behind a bush. +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big teddy bear that their grandma gave them. They named him Brownie and hugged him every night. + +One day, a storm came and the wind was very loud. Lily and Sam were scared and ran to their mom. Mom said, "Don't worry, my loves. The storm will pass soon. Let's pray together and thank God for keeping us safe and warm." + +Lily and Sam nodded and closed their eyes. They prayed with their mom and said, "Thank you, God, for our family, our home, our food, and our toys. We love you, God. Please make the storm go away. Amen." + +Then they heard a loud bang. They opened their eyes and saw that a tree had fallen on their roof. They screamed and ran to their room. They saw that their window was broken and their toys were scattered on the floor. They looked for Brownie, but they could not find him. + +"Where is Brownie?" Lily cried. "He is our best toy. He has so much value to us. We need him." + +Sam said, "Maybe he flew out of the window. Maybe he is in the yard. Let's go and look for him." + +They put on their coats and boots and followed their mom outside. They searched everywhere, but they could not see Brownie. They felt very sad and hugged each other. + +Then they heard a bark. They turned around and saw their dog, Spot, running towards them. He had something in his mouth. It was Brownie. He was wet and dirty, but he was still smiling. + +"Spot, you found Brownie!" Lily exclaimed. "You are such a good dog. You are so impressive. Thank you, Spot." + +Sam said, "Thank you, God, for sending Spot to save Brownie. You are so good to us, God. We are so happy." + +They took Brownie from Spot and hugged him. They also hugged Spot and their mom. They went back inside and cleaned Brownie. They put him on their bed and cuddled with him. They felt warm and cozy. + +They said, "We love you, Brownie. We love you, Spot. We love you, Mom. We love you, God." +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and make tunnels. They pretended they were moles who lived underground. + +"Look, I made a big hole!" Tom said. "Let's go inside and see what we find." + +"Okay!" Lily said. She followed Tom into the hole. It was dark and cool. They crawled deeper and deeper. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a dog barking. The dog had seen the hole and wanted to catch the moles. It ran to the hole and started to dig. + +"Help!" Lily screamed. "The dog is coming!" + +"Quick, let's go back!" Tom said. He turned around and tried to crawl out. But the dog was faster. It reached the hole and bit Tom's leg. Tom cried out in pain. He was hurt. + +Lily saw Tom's leg bleeding. She was scared and sad. She wanted to help Tom. She hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Tom. I'm here. We'll be okay." + +She shouted for help. She hoped someone would hear them and save them from the dog. She hugged Tom harder and waited. +Ben liked to read books. He had many books on his shelf. He liked to question the books. He asked them what they were about, who wrote them, and where they came from. + +One day, he saw a new book on his shelf. It was big and shiny. It had a picture of a dragon on the cover. Ben wanted to read it. He took it from the shelf and opened it. + +But the book did not like to be questioned. It said, "Stop asking me things. I am a popular book. I do not have time for you. Go away and read something else." + +Ben was sad and angry. He did not like the book. He said, "You are a mean book. You are not popular. You are rude. I do not want to read you. I will put you back on the shelf." + +He tried to put the book back on the shelf, but the book did not want to go. It said, "No, you cannot put me back. I am too important. I will stay here and you will go away." + +The book and Ben started to fight. They pulled and pushed each other. They made a lot of noise. They knocked down the other books from the shelf. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess and the book and Ben. She was not happy. She said, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting with a book? Why are you making a mess?" + +Ben told Mom what happened. He said, "The book is bad. It does not like to be questioned. It thinks it is popular. It does not want to go back on the shelf." + +Mom looked at the book. She said, "This book is not for you. It is for older kids. It is too hard and too scary for you. I will take it away and give it to someone else. You can read the other books on your shelf. They are nice and fun and they like to be questioned." + +Ben was happy. He said, "Thank you, Mom. I like the other books. They are my friends. I will read them and question them and learn from them." + +Mom hugged Ben and helped him clean up the mess. She said, "You are a good boy. You are curious and smart. You can question anything you want. But be careful with books. Some books are not for you. Some books are not nice. Some books are not popular." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with their blocks. Sometimes they shared their blocks, and sometimes they fought over them. + +One day, they found a big box of new blocks in their room. They were very happy and excited. They opened the box and saw many amazing blocks. Some were shiny, some were sparkly, some were fuzzy, and some made noises. They wanted to play with all of them. + +But they did not agree on how to play. Lily wanted to split the blocks into two piles, one for her and one for Ben. She said, "I want the shiny and sparkly blocks. You can have the fuzzy and noisy blocks." Ben did not like that. He said, "No, I want the shiny and sparkly blocks too. They are more fun. You can have the fuzzy and noisy blocks." They started to pull and tug on the blocks, trying to get more for themselves. + +As they were fighting, they did not see that their dog, Spot, came into the room. Spot was curious and playful. He saw the blocks and thought they were toys for him. He jumped on the box and grabbed a block with his mouth. He ran away with it, wagging his tail. + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting and saw that Spot had taken one of their blocks. They both wanted it back. They ran after Spot, shouting, "Spot, drop it! That's our block!" Spot thought they were playing with him. He ran faster, making the block squeak. + +Lily and Ben chased Spot around the house, but they could not catch him. He was too fast and clever. He hid under the bed, behind the couch, and in the closet. He made them run and jump and crawl. He made them laugh and pant and sweat. + +Finally, Spot came back to their room. He dropped the block on the floor and licked their faces. He was happy and tired. Lily and Ben looked at the block. It was a yellow block with a red button. When they pressed the button, the block split into two pieces. One piece had a thumb on it, and the other piece had a smiley face on it. They were amazed. They said, "Wow, that's a cool block! Thank you, Spot!" + +They decided to share the block and play together. They also decided to share the other blocks and build something amazing. They hugged Spot and said, "You are a good dog. You helped us stop fighting and have fun." Spot wagged his tail and barked. He was happy too. They all played with the blocks until it was time for dinner. +Sara liked to chew on things. She chewed on her toys, her books, and her clothes. She thought it was fun and tasty. But her mom and dad did not like it. They said it was bad for her teeth and the things she chewed on. + +One day, Sara found a shiny thing on the table. It was round and hard and had a hole in the middle. She thought it was a candy. She put it in her mouth and bit down hard. But it was not a candy. It was a ring. A ring that belonged to her grandma. A ring that was very old and very fragile. + +The ring broke into pieces. Sara felt a sharp pain in her mouth. She spit out the ring and the pieces. She saw blood on her tongue. She started to cry. Her mom and dad heard her and came to see what was wrong. They saw the ring and the pieces and the blood. They were very sad and very angry. + +They took Sara to the doctor. The doctor looked at her mouth and gave her a band-aid. He said she had hurt her tooth and her gum. He said she had to be careful and not chew on things that were not food. He said chewing on things that were not food was not wise. + +Sara learned a lesson that day. She learned that some things are not for chewing. She learned that some things are very fragile and can break easily. She learned that some things are very special and have a lot of wisdom. She learned that she had to respect those things and not hurt them. She said she was sorry to her mom and dad and her grandma. She said she would not chew on things that were not food anymore. She said she would be more wise. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were a family and they were the parents. Anna had a doll with a long dress and a hat. Ben had a doll with a suit and a mustache. + +"Let's go to the shop and buy some food for our family," Anna said. + +"OK, but we have to be back before dark," Ben said. + +They put their dolls in a basket and walked to the shop. They saw many things that they liked: apples, cookies, milk, bread. They picked some of them and put them in their basket. + +"Can we also buy some candy?" Anna asked. + +"No, candy is bad for your teeth," Ben said. "And it costs too much money." + +"But I really want some candy," Anna said. "Please, please, please." + +Ben looked at Anna and sighed. He liked candy too, but he knew that his mom would be angry if he bought some. He wanted to make Anna happy, but he also wanted to be good. + +"OK, fine," he said. "But only one candy each. And you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone. It's our secret." + +"I promise, I promise, I promise," Anna said. She smiled and hugged Ben. They chose their candy and paid for their food. + +They walked back to the park, eating their candy on the way. They felt happy and excited. They did not see the man who was watching them from behind a tree. He had a big coat, a hat and a mustache. He looked mean and harsh. He wanted their candy and their money. He followed them to the park and waited for the right moment to attack. +Ben and Lily love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big panda. The panda is soft and black and white. They like to hug the panda and make it talk. + +One day, Ben and Lily decide to dress the panda. They find some clothes in their closet and put them on the panda. They give the panda a hat, a shirt, a skirt, and some shoes. They think the panda looks very jolly. + +"Hello, panda!" Ben says. "Do you like your new clothes?" + +"Yes, I do!" Lily says, making the panda's voice. "Thank you for dressing me. You are very kind." + +Ben and Lily laugh and clap. They are very happy. They want to show their mom and dad their panda. + +They take the panda by the hand and walk to the living room. But they do not see the big dog that is sleeping on the couch. The dog wakes up and sees the panda. The dog thinks the panda is a strange animal. The dog barks and jumps on the panda. + +Ben and Lily scream and let go of the panda. The dog bites the panda and tears the clothes. The panda is ripped and dirty. Ben and Lily cry and run to their mom and dad. + +Mom and dad come and see what happened. They are angry and sad. They scold the dog and take it away. They hug Ben and Lily and try to comfort them. They say they are sorry for the panda. They say they will buy them a new panda. + +But Ben and Lily do not want a new panda. They want their old panda. They loved their old panda. They say their old panda was the best panda. They say their old panda was very jolly. They miss their old panda. They are very sad. The end. +Ben and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. Ben has a big dinosaur that can roar. Lily has a small car that has a magnet on the back. Ben makes his dinosaur roar loud and scares Lily. Lily cries and runs to Mom. + +"Mom, Ben is mean! He roared at me with his dinosaur!" Lily says. + +Mom hugs Lily and says, "It's okay, sweetie. Ben is just having fun. He didn't mean to scare you. Why don't you show him your car with the magnet?" + +Lily wipes her tears and nods. She goes back to the living room and says to Ben, "Look, Ben, this is my car. It has a magnet. It can stick to things. Do you want to try?" + +Ben looks at Lily's car and says, "Wow, that's cool. Can I see?" He takes the car and puts it near his dinosaur. The magnet sticks to the dinosaur's tail. Ben laughs and says, "Look, Lily, your car is riding on my dinosaur. That's funny." + +Lily laughs too and says, "Yeah, that's funny. Can I have my car back, please?" + +Ben gives Lily her car back and says, "Sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to scare you with my dinosaur. Can we be friends?" + +Lily smiles and says, "Yes, Ben, we can be friends. Can we play together?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, Lily, we can play together. Do you want to hear my dinosaur roar again?" + +Lily says, "Yes, Ben, I want to hear your dinosaur roar again. But not too loud, okay?" + +Ben says, "Okay, Lily, not too loud. Just a little roar." + +Ben and Lily play with their toys and make their dinosaur roar and their car stick to things. They have fun and are happy. Mom watches them and thinks, "They are such healthy and lovely children. I'm so proud of them." +Lily liked to draw and paint. She made many pictures of animals, flowers and people. She put them on her wall and on her desk. She was proud of her work. + +One day, her teacher said they would have a show and tell. Everyone could bring something they liked and tell the class about it. Lily wanted to bring one of her pictures. But she was shy. She did not like to talk in front of many people. She was afraid they would laugh at her or say something mean. + +She asked her mom for help. Her mom said, "Lily, your pictures are beautiful. You have a lot of talent. You should display them to your friends. They will like them and learn from you. You don't have to be shy. You can be brave and confident." + +Lily thought about it. She chose her favorite picture. It was a picture of a lion and a mouse. She remembered the story her mom told her about how the mouse helped the lion. She liked that story. She put her picture in her backpack and went to school. + +When it was her turn, she took out her picture and showed it to the class. She said, "This is my picture. It is a lion and a mouse. They are friends. The mouse helped the lion when he was in trouble. They are kind and brave. I like to draw and paint. It makes me happy." The class clapped and cheered. They asked her questions about her picture and her hobby. Lily answered them with a smile. She was not shy anymore. She was happy. She displayed her object and shared her story. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, modern building. It has many windows and doors. Lily wants to go inside and look around. Tom is scared. + +"Come on, Tom. Let's go and see what's in there. Maybe we can find something fun," Lily says. + +"No, Lily. We can't go in there. It's not for us. It's for grown-ups. They might get angry at us. And it might be dangerous. There could be traps or monsters or bad people," Tom says. + +Lily does not listen to Tom. She runs to the building and tries to open a door. It is locked. She tries another door. It is also locked. She tries all the doors, but none of them open. She gets angry and kicks a door. It makes a loud noise. + +"Stop it, Lily. You're making too much noise. Someone will hear us and come out. Let's go back to the park. Please," Tom says. + +Lily refuses to go back. She wants to get in the building. She sees a window that is a little bit open. She climbs on a trash can and reaches for the window. She pushes it up and tries to squeeze through. + +"Stop, Lily. Don't do that. You'll hurt yourself. You'll get stuck. You'll get in trouble. Please, Lily, come down," Tom says. + +Lily does not stop. She pushes harder and harder. She gets her head and shoulders through the window. But then she gets stuck. She can't move. She can't go in or out. She starts to cry. + +"Help, Tom. Help me. I'm stuck. I can't get out. It hurts. Help me, Tom," Lily says. + +Tom tries to help Lily. He pulls her legs and arms. He tries to push the window up more. But he can't. He is too small and weak. He starts to cry too. + +"Help, someone. Help us. We're stuck. We need help. Please, someone, help us," Tom says. + +But no one hears them. No one comes to help them. The building is empty and quiet. The sun goes down and it gets dark and cold. Lily and Tom are still stuck and scared and alone. They wish they had listened to each other and stayed in the park. They wish they had never seen the big, modern building. They wish they could go home. But they can't. They are trapped. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a tea party with their toys. Sara poured water from a cup into another cup. Tom pretended to drink it and said, "Mmm, this is good tea." + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked up and saw dark clouds in the sky. They felt drops of water on their faces. It was raining. + +"Oh no, our tea party!" Sara cried. "We have to go inside. The rain will make everything wet." + +"But I don't want to go inside. I want to play more," Tom said. He liked the rain. He thought it was fun. + +"Please, Tom, come with me. The rain can be difficult. It can make you sick. And it can make the toys dirty. We can play inside with other things," Sara said. She took Tom's hand and pulled him towards the house. + +Tom sighed. He did not like to leave his toys. But he did not want to make Sara sad. He followed her inside. He hoped the rain would stop soon. He wanted to play in the garden again. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to look at the sky and name the clouds. Sara saw a big cloud that looked like a bear. She said, "I name that cloud Bear. He is big and strong." Ben saw a small cloud that looked like a bird. He said, "I name that cloud Bird. He is fast and free." + +They saw another cloud that was very thin and long. It looked like a snake. Sara and Ben did not like snakes. They were scared of them. They said, "We do not name that cloud. He is bad and mean." + +The snake cloud heard them. He was angry. He said, "You are not nice. You name the other clouds, but not me. I will show you. I will make a storm and rain on you." He moved closer to the sun and blocked its light. He gathered more clouds and made them dark and heavy. He made thunder and lightning. + +Sara and Ben saw the storm coming. They were afraid. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She said, "What is wrong, my loves?" They said, "The snake cloud is mad at us. He wants to rain on us. We did not name him. We are sorry." + +Mom hugged them and said, "It is okay. You did not mean to hurt his feelings. But you should be kind to everyone, even if they are different from you. Maybe he is not bad and mean. Maybe he is lonely and sad. Maybe he wants a name too." + +Sara and Ben thought about it. They felt sorry for the snake cloud. They said, "You are right, mom. We should be kind. We will name him too." They looked at the sky and said, "We name you Snake. You are graceful and smart." + +The snake cloud heard them. He was surprised. He said, "You name me? You are kind to me? Thank you. I am sorry too. I will not make a storm. I will make a rainbow." He moved away from the sun and let its light shine through him. He made a rainbow with many colors. + +Sara and Ben saw the rainbow. They were happy. They said, "Wow, look at the rainbow. It is beautiful. Thank you, Snake. You are our friend." They smiled and waved at the snake cloud. He smiled and waved back. He was happy too. He had a name and friends. +Sam and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they want to ride their bikes. They put on their helmets. Helmets keep their heads safe. + +"Come on, Sam. Let's go to the park!" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily. Let's go!" Sam says. + +They ride their bikes on the sidewalk. They see a big puddle. It is wet and shiny. + +"Look, Lily. A puddle!" Sam says. + +"Let's splash in it!" Lily says. + +They ride their bikes into the puddle. They make a big splash. They laugh and giggle. They get wet and muddy. + +"Wow, that was fun!" Sam says. + +"Yes, it was!" Lily says. + +They ride their bikes out of the puddle. They see their moms. Their moms are waiting for them. + +"Hi, Sam. Hi, Lily. You look wet and muddy!" Sam's mom says. + +"Hi, mom. We splashed in a puddle!" Sam says. + +"Hi, mom. We had fun!" Lily says. + +Their moms smile. They are happy that Sam and Lily are having fun. They help them take off their helmets. They give them towels to dry off. + +"Let's go home and get clean," Sam's mom says. + +"OK, mom. Can we play again tomorrow?" Sam says. + +"Sure, Sam. If it's not raining," Sam's mom says. + +"Let's go home and have a snack," Lily's mom says. + +"OK, mom. Can we have cookies?" Lily says. + +"Sure, Lily. If you eat your fruits and veggies," Lily's mom says. + +Sam and Lily hug each other. They say goodbye. They go home with their moms. They are happy and tired. They had a good day. +Sara was a spoiled girl who always wanted to have her way. She had many toys and books, but she was never happy. She always asked her mom and dad for more things, and threw tantrums when they said no. + +One day, Sara saw a beautiful lamp in a store window. It was shiny and colorful, and had a funny shape. Sara wanted the lamp very much, and begged her mom and dad to buy it for her. But they said no, because the lamp was too expensive and they had already bought her many things. + +Sara was very angry and sad. She ran away from her mom and dad, and went to the park. There, she saw a swing that looked fun. She decided to play on the swing, and forget about the lamp. She pushed the swing hard, and went higher and higher. + +But Sara did not know how to swing safely. She did not hold on to the ropes, and she did not look around. She swung so high, that she flew off the swing and crashed into a tree. She hurt her head and her arm, and started to cry. + +A nice lady who was walking her dog saw Sara and ran to help her. She called Sara's mom and dad, and told them what happened. They came quickly, and took Sara to the hospital. Sara was very sorry for being spoiled and running away. She learned that she should be grateful for what she had, and listen to her mom and dad. She also learned that she should be careful and respectful when she played. She never asked for the lamp again. +Tom was very happy. It was his birthday. He had a big cake, a red balloon and many gifts. He wanted to open them all. He saw a card on the table. It was old and yellow. He did not like it. He threw it away. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Mom asked. She was angry. She picked up the card. "This is from your grandma. She loves you very much. She wrote you a nice message. You should not throw it away. You should say thank you." + +Tom felt bad. He did not know. He was sorry. He hugged Mom. "I'm sorry, Mom. I love grandma too. Can I see the card?" + +Mom smiled. She gave him the card. He opened it. He saw a picture of a cat. He liked cats. He read the message. It said: "Happy birthday, Tom. You are a good boy. I miss you. I hope you have a fun day. Love, Grandma." + +Tom was happy again. He smiled. He said: "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Grandma. This is a nice card. I will keep it." He put the card next to his cake. He opened his gifts. He had a lot of fun. He was a good boy. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big ball in the park. It was red and shiny. They wanted to play with it. + +"Can I have it?" Tom asked. + +"No, it is mine!" Sam said. + +They both pulled the ball. They did not want to share. They pulled harder and harder. The ball made a loud sound. It was a tear. The air came out of the ball. The ball was flat. + +They looked at the ball. They saw a spike. It was on the ground. The spike had made a hole in the ball. The ball was broken. + +They felt sad. They had lost the ball. They had no toy to play with. + +"I am sorry, Tom," Sam said. "I was not nice. I should have shared the ball with you." + +"I am sorry, too, Sam," Tom said. "I was not nice, either. I should have let you have the ball." + +They hugged. They were friends again. They learned a lesson. They learned to be nice and to share. They went to find another toy. They hoped it would not have a spike. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big avocado on the ground. It is green and soft. + +"Let's share it!" Lily says. She wants to eat some of the avocado. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben says. He wants to keep the avocado for himself. + +They start to quarrel. They pull and tug at the avocado. They shout and cry. They are not happy. + +A lady sees them. She walks over to them. She smiles and says, "Hello, children. Why are you quarreling?" + +They tell her about the avocado. She says, "You know, avocados are better when they are ripe. This one is not ripe yet. It is hard and bitter. You won't like it." + +She shows them how to check if an avocado is ripe. She says, "You can press it gently with your finger. If it is soft, it is ripe. If it is hard, it is not ripe. You can also look at the stem. If it is brown, it is ripe. If it is green, it is not ripe." + +She gives them each a ripe avocado. They are soft and brown. She says, "Here, you can have these. They are delicious and healthy. You can eat them now or take them home." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They thank the lady. They say sorry to each other. They share their avocados. They are friends again. They play in the park. It is a peaceful day. +Tom was very sick. He had a bad cough and a high fever. He could not play with his toys or his friends. He felt very sad and tired. + +His mom took him to the doctor. The doctor was a kind man who wore a white coat and a mask. He looked at Tom's throat and ears. He listened to Tom's chest and heart. He said, "Tom, you have a bad infection. You need to take some medicine to get better. It is a modern medicine that works very fast and helps your body fight the germs. Do you know what germs are?" + +Tom nodded. He had learned about germs at school. They were tiny things that could make you sick. He did not like germs. He said, "I want to take the medicine, doctor. I want to get better soon. I hope the medicine will make the germs go away." + +The doctor smiled. He gave Tom a bottle of medicine and a spoon. He said, "You need to take one spoon of medicine three times a day, after you eat. The medicine tastes a little bitter, but you can drink some water or juice after. The medicine will help you feel better in a few days. But you also need to rest, drink lots of fluids, and eat healthy food. Can you do that, Tom?" + +Tom nodded again. He said, "Yes, doctor. I will do what you say. Thank you for helping me." He took the medicine from the doctor and hugged his mom. He was brave and did not cry. + +The moral of the story is: When you are sick, you should listen to the doctor and take your medicine. Medicine is a modern invention that can help you heal faster and easier. You should also hope for the best and take care of yourself. +One day, a sailor went to the sea with his boat. He liked to sail and see the fish and the birds. He had a big blue sail that helped him move fast. He was happy. + +But then, a storm came. The wind was very strong and the waves were very big. The sailor was scared. He tried to steer his boat to a safe place, but it was hard. The storm was too much for his boat. The sail tore and the mast broke. The sailor was upset. He cried, "Oh no, my boat is broken! How will I go home?" + +He saw a small island nearby. He hoped there was someone there who could help him. He used a rope to tie his boat to a rock. Then he swam to the island. He was wet and cold and tired. + +On the island, he met a girl. She lived there with her family. She saw the sailor and his broken boat. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Hello, I am Lila. What is your name?" + +The sailor said, "I am Sam. I was sailing, but a storm broke my boat. I need help to fix it and go home." + +Lila said, "Don't worry, Sam. My dad is good at fixing things. He can help you. Come with me to our house. We have food and clothes and a fire. You can stay with us until your boat is ready." + +Sam smiled. He was glad he met Lila. She was kind and friendly. He said, "Thank you, Lila. You are very nice. Maybe we can be friends." + +Lila nodded. She said, "Yes, we can be friends. I like to sail too. Maybe when your boat is fixed, we can sail together." + +They walked to Lila's house, holding hands. The storm was over. The sun came out. Sam was not upset anymore. He was hopeful. +Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls in the park. They liked to make up stories and voices for their dolls. Lily's doll was a princess and Ben's doll was a knight. They were having fun until a rude woman came and shouted at them. + +"Hey, you kids! Stop making so much noise! This is a quiet park, not a playground! And don't leave your toys on the grass, they are dirty and ugly! Pick them up and go away!" the rude woman said. + +Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They did not understand why the woman was so mean. They did not make a lot of noise, and they liked their toys. They looked at each other and hugged their dolls. + +"Sorry, miss. We are not bad kids. We are just playing. We like this park. It is pretty and green. Please don't be mad at us," Lily said in a small voice. + +The rude woman did not listen. She snorted and walked away. She did not say sorry or thank you. She did not care about Lily and Ben's feelings. + +Lily and Ben decided to leave the park. They did not want to stay where the rude woman was. They packed their toys and walked to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her what happened and she hugged them. + +"It's okay, my loves. Some people are rude and unhappy. They don't know how to be nice and friendly. But you are good and sweet. You did nothing wrong. You can play wherever you want, as long as you are respectful and careful. Don't let the rude woman spoil your fun. She is not worth it," their mom said. + +Lily and Ben smiled and thanked their mom. They felt better and loved. They decided to go to another park, where they could play with their dolls and make up more stories. They hoped they would not meet another rude woman. They hoped they would meet more kind and happy people. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the farm. One day, they saw a mule in the barn. The mule had big ears and a long nose. Lily and Tom wanted to pet the mule. + +"Hello, mule," Lily said. "You are so big and soft. Can we touch you?" + +The mule nodded and made a funny sound. Lily and Tom smiled and stroked the mule's fur. The mule liked it and licked their hands. + +"Wow, the mule is nice," Tom said. "Can I kiss the mule?" + +Lily looked at Tom and frowned. "Kiss the mule? That is weird, Tom. The mule is not a person. You can't kiss the mule." + +Tom shrugged and said, "Why not? The mule is cute and friendly. I want to kiss the mule." + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, Tom. You can hug the mule, but you can't kiss the mule. That is not how you show love to a mule." + +Tom thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Lily. You are right. I will hug the mule, not kiss the mule." + +Lily and Tom hugged the mule and said goodbye. The mule wagged its tail and made another funny sound. Lily and Tom laughed and ran back to the farm. They were happy to have a new friend. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. But they do not like to share. They always fight over who gets the red car or the blue car. + +One day, Mom gave them a new car. It was big and yellow and had thick wheels. Tim and Sam both wanted the new car. They started to pull and push and shout. They made a big row. + +Mom heard the row and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tim and Sam fighting over the new car. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, boys! You have to share. If you cannot share, I will take the new car away." + +Tim and Sam did not want to lose the new car. They stopped fighting. They looked at each other. They did not want to make Mom angry. They decided to take turns with the new car. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We will share. We will not make a row again." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's good, boys. I'm glad you can share. Sharing is caring. Now you can play nicely with the new car and your other cars." + +Tim and Sam nodded and smiled. They played with the new car and their other cars. They did not fight anymore. They prevented a row. They had fun. +Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat pizza for dinner. But their mom was not home yet. She was working late at the office. Ben and Lily looked at the clock. It was almost seven. + +"Where is mom?" Ben asked. He was worried. He hoped mom was okay. + +"I don't know," Lily said. She was worried too. She wondered if mom had forgotten them. + +They heard a knock on the door. They ran to open it. It was their dad. He had a big box in his hands. It smelled good. + +"Dad!" Ben and Lily shouted. They hugged him. + +"Hi, kids," dad said. He smiled. "I have a surprise for you. Guess what's in the box?" + +"Is it pizza?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, it is!" dad said. He opened the box. It was a large cheese pizza with pepperoni and olives. Ben and Lily's eyes widened. + +"Wow!" they said. They loved pizza. + +"Mom called me and told me she was stuck at work. She asked me to pick up pizza for you. She will be home soon. Don't worry," dad said. + +"Okay," Ben and Lily said. They felt better.

They were happy. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together. Today, they are going to visit Anna's grandma. She lives in a big house with a garden. + +Before they go, Tom and Anna tie their shoes. They want to be fast and safe. They say bye to their moms and dads. They hold hands and walk to the bus stop. + +On the bus, they see many things. They see cars, trees, birds, and people. They point and name what they see. They are lively and happy. + +When they get to Anna's grandma's house, they ring the bell. Grandma opens the door. She smiles and hugs them. She says, "Hello, Tom and Anna. I'm so glad you came to visit me. Come in, come in. I have cookies and milk for you." + +Tom and Anna follow grandma to the kitchen. They sit on the chairs and eat the cookies.

We will visit you again soon." + +They hold hands and walk to the bus stop. They are tired and happy. They had a great day. They are friends. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play chess. Chess was a game with black and white pieces that moved on a board. Tom was older and smarter than Sam, so he always won. Sam was sad and angry when he lost. + +One day, they found a new chess set in the attic. It was very old and dusty, and the pieces looked strange. They had faces and hair and claws and teeth. Tom said, "Let's play with this one. It looks fun." Sam said, "OK, but you have to be white this time. I want to be black." + +They set up the board and started to play. Tom moved his pieces fast and took Sam's pieces one by one. Sam moved his pieces slowly and carefully, but he could not stop Tom. Tom said, "Ha ha, I am going to win again. You are no good at chess." Sam said, "No, you are not. I have a secret plan." + +Sam moved his last piece, a black king, to the corner of the board. He said, "Checkmate. I win." Tom looked at the board and saw that he had no way to move his white king. He said, "What? How did you do that? That's not fair." Sam said, "Yes, it is. You were too busy taking my pieces and you did not see my trap. The black king is the strongest piece. He can make the white pieces tremble and run away." + +As he said that, the black king started to glow and growl. His eyes flashed red and his hair stood up. He jumped off the board and landed on the floor. He roared and chased the white pieces, who were trembling and running away. Tom and Sam were scared and ran away too. They left the chess set in the attic and never played with it again. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to play with the clock the most. The clock had a big face, two hands and many numbers. Tom and Lily liked to move the hands and make the clock say different times. + +"Look, Lily, it is time for lunch!" Tom said, moving the hands to twelve. He liked to eat lunch. He was hungry. + +"No, Tom, it is time for nap!" Lily said, moving the hands to one. She liked to sleep. She was tired. + +They moved the hands back and forth, arguing about the time. They did not hear their mom calling them from downstairs. + +"Tom! Lily! Come down, please!" Mom said. She was waiting for them with sandwiches and juice. She looked at her watch. It was almost two. + +She went upstairs to check on them. She found them still playing with the clock. They had moved the hands so much that they broke them. The clock did not say any time now. It was silent. + +"Tom! Lily! What did you do?" Mom said. She was angry and sad. The clock was a gift from her grandma. She loved the clock. It reminded her of grandma. + +Tom and Lily saw mom's face. They knew they did something bad. They felt sorry. + +"We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to break the clock. We just wanted to play." Tom said. + +"We like the clock, too. It is pretty and fun. We did not know it would hurt." Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She hugged them. She was not angry anymore. She was glad they were sorry. + +"I know, my loves. But you have to be careful with things that are not toys. Some things can break easily and some things can hurt you or others. The clock was special to me. It reminded me of grandma. She gave it to me when I was little like you. She is not here anymore, but the clock made me think of her." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They missed grandma, too. They had seen her in pictures and heard stories about her. They wanted to make mom happy. + +"Can we fix the clock, mom? Can we make it say the time again?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe, my loves. Maybe we can find someone who can fix it. But it will not be the same. It will have scars. And it may not work well. But we can try." Mom said. + +"Can we help you, mom? Can we do something nice for you?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, my loves. You can help me by being good and listening to me. And you can do something nice for me by giving me a big kiss and a hug. And by telling me you love me." Mom said. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They gave mom a big kiss and a hug. They told her they loved her. They felt better. + +They went downstairs with mom. They ate their lunch. They drank their juice. They told mom they were sorry again. Mom told them she forgave them. She told them she loved them. She reminded them to be careful with things that are not toys. She reminded them to be kind to each other. She reminded them to have fun. + +They had a nap. They dreamed of grandma. They dreamed of the clock. They dreamed of mom. They were happy. +Lily liked her hat very much. It was red and had a big bow on it. She wore it every day when she went out with her mom. One day, she saw a big box near the door. It had a sticker on it that said "mail". + +"Mom, what is this?" Lily asked. + +"That is a box of things we are going to mail to your aunt. She lives very far away and we want to make her happy," Mom said. + +"Can I see what is inside?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful not to make a mess," Mom said. + +Lily opened the box and saw many things. She saw a book, a scarf, a toy, and a hat. The hat was blue and had a flower on it. Lily thought it was very pretty. She took it out of the box and put it on her head. + +"Look, Mom, I have a new hat!" Lily said. + +"No, Lily, that is not your hat. That is your aunt's hat. We are going to mail it to her. You have to put it back in the box," Mom said. + +"But I like this hat. It is fair that I have it. You can mail my hat to her. She will like it too," Lily said. + +"No, Lily, that is not fair. That is your hat. You can't give it away. Your aunt will be sad if she doesn't get her hat. And you will be sad if you lose your hat. Please, Lily, put the blue hat back in the box," Mom said. + +Lily did not listen to Mom. She ran away with the blue hat. She wanted to keep it. She hid under the bed and did not come out. Mom looked for her and found her. She was very angry. + +"Lily, you are a bad girl. You did not do what I told you. You took something that was not yours. You have to say sorry and give the blue hat back," Mom said. + +Lily did not say sorry. She did not give the blue hat back. She cried and screamed. She said she hated Mom. She said she hated her hat. She said she hated everything. + +Mom was very sad. She did not know what to do. She took the blue hat from Lily and put it back in the box. She mailed the box to her aunt. She hoped her aunt would like it. She hoped Lily would calm down. She hoped Lily would love her again. She hoped Lily would be happy. But she was not sure. +Lila loves to play with her violin. She likes to make sounds with the strings and the bow. She thinks she is a big musician. Sometimes she plays for her toys and pretends they clap for her. + +One day, Lila sees a big violin on the shelf. It is her daddy's violin. He plays it very well and Lila likes to listen to him. She wants to try the big violin. She thinks it will make louder and prettier sounds. + +She climbs on a chair and tries to reach the violin. But it is too high for her. She stretches her arms and fingers, but she cannot touch it. She feels sad and frustrated. She says, "I want the violin! I want the violin!" + +Her daddy hears her and comes to the room. He sees Lila on the chair and the violin on the shelf. He smiles and says, "Lila, what are you doing? Do you want to play the violin?" + +Lila nods and says, "Yes, daddy, please! I want to play the big violin!" + +Her daddy lifts her up and gives her the violin. He says, "Be careful, Lila. This violin is very special and delicate. You have to hold it gently and not drop it." + +Lila holds the violin and feels its weight and shape. She says, "Wow, daddy, it is so big and smooth! Can I make sounds with it?" + +Her daddy says, "Of course, Lila. But first, let me show you how to hold the bow and the strings. And then, we can play together. How does that sound?" + +Lila says, "That sounds great, daddy! Thank you, daddy! I love you, daddy!" + +She hugs her daddy and the violin. She feels happy and excited. She can't wait to play the big violin with her daddy. She thinks it will be the best music ever. +Tom is a boy who likes to play with cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them go fast and make loud noises. He does not like to share his cars with anyone. + +One day, he goes to the park with his mom. He sees a girl who is playing with a ball. The girl has a tie in her hair. The tie is pink and shiny. Tom thinks the tie is pretty. He wants to have it. + +He runs to the girl and says, "Give me your tie!" The girl is scared and says, "No, this is my tie. Go away!" Tom does not listen. He grabs the tie and pulls it hard. The girl cries and screams. + +The girl's mom hears her and comes to help. She sees Tom with the tie and gets angry. She says, "What are you doing? That is not your tie. That is her tie. Give it back!" Tom does not want to give it back. He says, "No, this is my tie now. I like it." + +The girl's mom takes the tie from Tom and gives it to the girl. She says, "I'm sorry, honey. Are you okay?" The girl nods and hugs her mom. The girl's mom looks at Tom and says, "You are a bad boy. You should not take things that are not yours. You should say sorry to the girl." + +Tom does not say sorry. He is mad and sad. He says, "I don't care. I don't want to play with her. I don't want to meet her. I want to go home." He runs to his mom and tells her what happened. His mom is disappointed and says, "Tom, that was not nice. That was wrong. You should not be mean to other kids. You should be kind and polite. You should apologize to the girl and her mom." + +Tom does not want to apologize. He thinks it is difficult and embarrassing. He says, "No, I don't want to. I don't like them. They are mean to me." His mom says, "No, they are not mean to you. You are mean to them. You have to say sorry. It is the right thing to do." + +Tom does not listen. He crosses his arms and pouts. He says, "No, no, no." His mom is angry and says, "Fine. If you don't say sorry, you can't play with your cars for a week. You have to learn your lesson." + +Tom is shocked and sad. He loves his cars. He does not want to lose them. He says, "No, please, mom. Don't take my cars. I need them. I love them." His mom says, "Too late. You had your chance. You have to face the consequences. Come on, let's go home." + +Tom cries and begs. He says, "Please, mom. Please. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll say sorry to the girl. I'll be nice. I'll share. Please, mom. Please." His mom says, "Sorry, Tom. It's too late. You should have said sorry before. Now you have to wait for a week. Maybe then you will understand how the girl felt." + +Tom is very sad and angry. He does not want to go home. He does not want to wait for a week. He does not want to meet the girl again. He does not want to say sorry. He thinks it is difficult and unfair.

He has a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were very happy. Today was their birthday. They were twins. Mom and Dad gave them a big package. It was wrapped in colorful paper and had a bow on top. + +"What is inside?" Tom asked. + +"Let's find out!" Lily said. + +They tore the paper and opened the box.

Lily draws a brown trunk and green leaves. Tom draws a brown trunk and yellow leaves. He thinks the leaves are yellow because it is fall. + +They show their pictures to each other. Lily says, "I like your picture, Tom. It is good. But why are your leaves yellow?" + +Tom says, "I like your picture, Lily. It is good. My leaves are yellow because it is fall. Fall is when the leaves change color and fall down." + +Lily says, "Oh, I see. I did not know that. I hope we can see the leaves change color and fall down. That sounds fun." + +Tom says, "Me too. I hope we can come back to the park and see the tree again. Maybe we can make more pictures of it." + +They smile and hug. They are happy. They have good pictures and good friends. +Lily and Max liked to play in the bathtub. They had many toys to make bubbles and splash. One day, they found a big balloon in the closet. They wanted to see if it could float in the water. + +They took the balloon to the bathroom and filled the bathtub. They put the balloon in the water and pushed it down. It popped up and made a loud sound. Lily and Max laughed and clapped. + +"Let's do it again!" Max said. He pushed the balloon down harder. But this time, the balloon did not pop up. It split open and made a bigger sound. The air came out and pushed the water everywhere. Lily and Max got wet and scared. + +"Mommy! Mommy!" they cried. Mommy came running to the bathroom. She saw the water on the floor and the balloon in the bathtub. She was not happy. + +"What did you do?" she asked. Lily and Max pointed at the balloon. + +"It split open, Mommy. It was an accident," Lily said. + +Mommy sighed and shook her head. She took Lily and Max out of the bathtub and dried them with a towel. She told them to be careful with balloons and not to put them in the water. She cleaned the bathroom and threw away the balloon. + +Lily and Max said they were sorry and hugged Mommy. They learned their lesson and never played with balloons in the bathtub again. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big box in the yard. The box is heavy. They want to see what is in the box. + +They push and pull the box to the shed. They open the box. They see many parts of a bike. They are happy. They want to make a bike. + +They take out the parts and put them on the floor. They try to fit them together. They do not know how. They ask for help. No one hears them. + +They see a big part that looks like a wheel. They think it is the front wheel. They lift it up and try to put it on the bike. But the part is not a wheel. It is a saw. It is sharp. + +The part falls on Sam's hand. It cuts his hand. Sam screams. Ben is scared. He drops the part. It falls on his foot. It cuts his foot. Ben screams. + +They cry and cry. They are hurt. They are bleeding. They are alone. They wish they did not open the box. They wish they played with cars and trucks. The end. +Anna and Ben were playing hide and seek in their house. Anna was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran to his room and looked for a good spot. He saw the closet and thought it was a perfect place. He opened the door and went inside. He closed the door and waited for Anna to find him. + +Anna counted to ten and then started to look for Ben. She checked the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom, but she could not find him. She wondered where he was. She went to his room and saw the closet. She thought maybe he was hiding there. She smiled and walked to the closet. She opened the door and shouted, "Surprise!" + +But Ben did not say anything. He did not move. He did not breathe. He was lying on the floor with a terrible cut on his head. He had hit his head on a sharp thing when he went into the closet. He was bleeding a lot. He was not alive. + +Anna screamed and cried. She ran to get her mom and dad. They came and saw Ben. They were very sad and scared. They called for help, but it was too late. Ben was gone. Anna wished she had never opened the closet. She wished she had never played hide and seek. She wished she had never said surprise. +Lily and Ben were happy to play with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, like cars, dolls, blocks and books. They liked to spread their toys on the floor and make different scenes and stories. + +"Look, Lily, I made a clock with blocks!" Ben said, showing his sister his creation. He had stacked four blocks to make a square, and put two more blocks on top to make a handle. He had drawn numbers and hands on a paper and stuck it on the front of the square. + +"Wow, Ben, that's a good clock!" Lily said, admiring his work. "Can you tell me what time it is?" + +Ben looked at his clock and pretended to read it. "It is... ten o'clock!" he said, pointing at the paper. + +"Ten o'clock? That means it's snack time!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "Let's go to the kitchen and ask Mom for some cookies and milk!" + +They put their toys away and ran to the kitchen, where Mom was waiting for them with a plate of cookies and two glasses of milk. They thanked Mom and sat at the table, enjoying their snack. + +"Did you have fun playing with your toys?" Mom asked them. + +"Yes, Mom, we did!" Lily and Ben said together. "We made a clock and other things!" + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "I'm glad you had fun. You are very creative and smart, my little ones!" she said. + +Lily and Ben felt happy and loved. They finished their snack and asked Mom if they could play some more. Mom said yes, and they ran back to the living room, ready for more adventures. +Tom and Mia were friends who lived in a small town. They liked to play outside and explore new places. One day, they found a big hill with a dark cave at the top. They wanted to see what was inside the cave, so they climbed the hill and went near the entrance. + +"Are you scared?" Tom asked Mia. + +"A little," Mia said. "But I want to be brave." + +They held hands and walked into the cave. It was very dark and cold. They could hear strange noises and see shadows on the walls. They trembled as they went deeper into the cave. + +Suddenly, they saw a pair of bright eyes and a long tail. It was a mighty lion who lived in the cave. He roared loudly and showed his sharp teeth. Tom and Mia were very afraid and ran out of the cave as fast as they could. + +They reached the bottom of the hill and looked back. The lion did not follow them. He stayed in his cave and watched them go. + +"Let's never go there again," Tom said. + +"Me too," Mia said. "That was too scary." + +They hugged each other and went back to their town. They were happy to be safe and together. They decided to play in the park instead of the cave. They had fun and forgot about the lion. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lila says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the slide. But the slide is broken. There is a big split in the middle. The slide is not safe. + +"Oh no!" Lila says. "The slide is broken. We can't go on the slide." + +"Maybe we can fix it," Ben says. He is helpful. He tries to push the split together. But the split is too big. He can't fix it. + +"Stop, Ben!" Lila says. "You can't fix it. It's too dangerous. You can get hurt." + +But Ben does not listen. He wants to go on the slide. He thinks he can fix it. He pushes harder. He climbs on the slide. He slides down. + +But the slide is still broken. The split is sharp. Ben slides on the split. The split cuts him. He screams. He bleeds. He falls off the slide. + +Lila is scared. She runs to Ben. She cries. She calls for help. + +"Ben, Ben, are you OK?" Lila says. + +But Ben does not answer. He is hurt. He is not OK. + +The end. +Lila and Ben are playing on the beach. They see a big boat with a shiny anchor. They want to look at it. + +"Can we go to the boat?" Lila asks Ben. + +"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the boat. + +The boat is very attractive. It has many colors and flags. The anchor is silver and heavy. Lila and Ben touch it. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Lila says. + +"Be careful, it might be sharp!" Ben says. + +They hear a voice from the boat. It is a man. He is angry. + +"Hey, you kids! Get away from my anchor!" he shouts. + +Lila and Ben are scared. They run away from the boat. + +"Sorry, mister!" Ben says. + +They find a spot on the sand. They lie down and breathe hard. + +"That was scary!" Lila says. + +"Yes, it was. But the boat was pretty!" Ben says. + +They look at the boat from far away. They smile. They are still friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They open the box and see a shiny scale. It is like a fish scale, but bigger and brighter. + +"What is this?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe it is from a dragon." + +"A dragon?" Tom says. "That is scary. Do you think there is a dragon in the garage?" + +Mia shakes her head. "No, I think the dragon is far away. Maybe it left the scale here a long time ago." + +Tom and Mia decide to keep the scale. They think it is a magic scale. They whisper to the scale and ask it to make their wishes come true. They wish for candy, toys, and a puppy. They wait and hope. + +But nothing happens. The scale does not move or talk. It is just a scale. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They think the scale is broken. They put it back in the box and close the lid. + +"Maybe the dragon will come back and fix it," Mia says. + +"Maybe," Tom says. "Or maybe we can find another magic thing in the garage." + +They smile and hold hands. They go to look for more treasures. They forget about the scale and the distant dragon. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many round and soft things on it. They were curious and wanted to see what they were. + +"Look, Tom, what are those?" Sara asked, pointing at the tree. + +"I don't know, Sara. Maybe they are balls?" Tom guessed. + +They ran to the tree and picked one of the things. It was not a ball. It was fuzzy and had a sweet smell. They took a bite and tasted something juicy and yummy. + +"Mmm, this is good!" Sara said. + +"Wow, this is good!" Tom agreed. + +They ate more and more of the things until they were full and happy. + +A lady came by and saw them. She smiled and said, "Hello, children. Do you like the peaches?" + +"Peaches?" Sara and Tom repeated. + +"Yes, peaches. They are fruits that grow on this tree. They are perfect for a hot day like this," the lady explained. + +Sara and Tom looked at each other and smiled. They had learned a new word and a new fruit. They thanked the lady and gave her some of their peaches. + +They decided to call the tree the peach tree and to come back to it whenever they wanted a sweet treat. They recognized the peach tree as their new friend. +Lily and Tom were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They found a big shell that was shiny and pink. Lily wanted to keep it. + +"Look, Tom, this is my shell. It is so pretty!" Lily said. + +Tom wanted the shell too. He tried to take it from Lily. They both pulled on the shell and it broke in half. They were sad and angry. + +"That is not fair! You broke my shell!" Lily said. + +"No, you broke my shell!" Tom said. + +They threw the pieces of the shell on the sand and ran away from each other. They did not want to play anymore. + +The sun was going down and the sky was getting dark. The sea was making loud noises and the waves were getting bigger. Lily and Tom felt scared and lonely. They wished they had not fought over the shell. + +They looked for their mom and dad, but they could not see them. They had gone too far from the place where they had left their towels and toys. They started to cry. + +"Mom! Dad! Where are you?" Lily shouted. + +"Mom! Dad! Help!" Tom shouted. + +They heard a voice calling their names. It was their mom. She had seen them from a distance and had run to find them. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We lost our way. We were fighting over a shell and we broke it. We were scared of the dark and the sea." Lily said. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We were silly. We did not share the shell and we ran away. We were afraid of the noise and the waves." Tom said. + +Mom smiled and said, "It is okay, my loves. I am glad I found you. The shell is not important. What matters is that you are safe and you love each other. Come on, let's go back to dad. He has a surprise for you. He found a big bucket and he locked it with a lid. Do you want to see what is inside?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and smiled. They held mom's hand and walked back to the beach. They were happy to be together again. They wondered what dad had in the bucket. Maybe it was something better than a shell. +Tom likes to zoom his toy car on the floor. He makes loud noises with his mouth. Vroom, vroom, vroom! He pretends his car is very fast and can go anywhere. He zooms his car under the table, on the sofa, and on the bed. + +One day, he zooms his car into the bathroom. He sees the faucet on the sink. He wonders what will happen if he turns it on. He climbs on a stool and reaches for the faucet. He turns it hard. Water comes out of the faucet. Tom is happy. He puts his car under the water. He thinks his car can swim. + +But the water is very hot. Tom does not know that. He feels the water burn his hand. He screams. He drops his car. His car falls into the sink. The water fills the sink. His car sinks to the bottom. Tom cannot get his car. He cries. He runs out of the bathroom. + +Mom hears Tom cry. She runs to the bathroom. She sees the water overflowing from the sink. She sees Tom's car under the water. She turns off the faucet. She is angry. She scolds Tom. She says he is naughty. She says he should not play with the faucet. She says he could have hurt himself. She says he ruined his car. + +Tom is sad. He says he is sorry. He says he just wanted to have fun. He says he loves his car. He wants his car back. But Mom says his car is broken. She says the water damaged his car. She says he cannot play with his car anymore. She throws his car in the trash. Tom is heartbroken. He cries more. He wishes he never zoomed his car into the bathroom. +Lily was a gifted girl. She could name many things that she saw. She could name colors, animals, fruits, and shapes. She liked to learn new words every day. + +One day, she went to the market with her mom. She saw many things that she did not know. She asked her mom, "What is that?" She pointed to a big bag of white grains. + +"That is rice, Lily. We use it to make food. Do you want to try some?" her mom said. + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. She liked to try new things. + +Her mom bought some rice and took it home. She cooked it with water and salt. She gave Lily a bowl of rice and said, "Here you go, Lily. This is rice. It is yummy and good for you." + +Lily tasted the rice. She liked it. It was soft and warm. She said, "Thank you, mom. I like rice. It is a new word for me. Rice, rice, rice." + +Her mom smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a gifted girl. You can name many things. I am proud of you." +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a shiny coin under the bed. They do not know what it is, but they think it is pretty. + +"Look, Mia, a shiny thing!" Ben says, holding the coin. + +"Wow, let me see!" Mia says, reaching for the coin. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says, pulling the coin away. + +"Please, Ben, share with me!" Mia says, trying to grab the coin. + +They start to fight over the coin. They pull and tug and shout. They do not hear their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Ben, Mia, come downstairs!" Mom says, walking into their room. She sees them fighting over the coin. She is not happy. + +"Stop it, both of you!" Mom says, taking the coin from them. "This is not a toy, this is a coin. You can use it to buy things. But you have to be nice and share. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Mia nod, feeling sorry. They do not want to make Mom angry. + +"Good. Now, come and eat your lunch. You can have the coin back later, if you promise to play nicely with it. Okay?" Mom says, smiling. + +"Okay, Mom. We are sorry." Ben and Mia say, following Mom downstairs. They hug each other and say sorry. They decide to remain friends and share the coin. They think the coin is wide and shiny and cool. They wonder what they can buy with it. +One day, a king was very troubled. He had a big problem. His people were hungry and sad. He did not know what to do. He asked his wise friend, the owl, for help. + +"Owl, owl, please help me. How can I make my people happy again?" the king said. + +The owl thought for a long time. Then he said, "King, king, I have an idea. Why don't you share your food and toys with your people? That will make them smile and thank you." + +The king was not sure. He liked his food and toys very much. He did not want to give them away. He said, "Owl, owl, that is a hard thing to do. I need my food and toys. They make me happy too." + +The owl said, "King, king, trust me. You will be happier if you share. You have more than you need. Your people have less than they need. Sharing is caring. It is a good thing to do." + +The king thought some more. He decided to try the owl's suggestion. He took some of his food and toys and gave them to his people. He saw their faces light up. He heard their cheers and praises. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He realized that the owl was right. Sharing was caring. It was a good thing to do. + +The king thanked the owl for his help. He said, "Owl, owl, you are a good friend. You gave me a good idea. Sharing made me and my people happy. I will share more often from now on." + +The owl smiled and said, "King, king, I am glad to hear that. You are a good king. You learned a valuable lesson. Sharing is caring. It is a good thing to do." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new boy in the park. He is sitting on a bench. He looks sad. + +"Who is he?" Lily asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Let's go and say hello," Ben says. + +They walk to the bench. Ben smiles at the boy. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. This is Lily. What's your name?" Ben says. + +The boy looks at them. He does not smile. He does not say anything. + +"Are you new here? Do you want to play with us?" Lily says. + +The boy shakes his head. He points to a high wall behind the bench. + +"I can't play. I have to stay here. My mom told me to wait for her. She is working in the big house," the boy says. + +Lily and Ben look at the high wall. They see a big house with many windows. They wonder what the boy's mom does there. + +"That's too bad. We have a lot of fun in the park. There is a slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a ball," Ben says. + +The boy looks at the park. He looks at the slide, the swing, the sandbox, and the ball. He looks curious. + +"Can I see the ball?" the boy says. + +Ben nods. He gives the boy the ball. + +The boy holds the ball. He feels it. He bounces it. He smiles. + +"Thank you. This is a nice ball. Can I throw it to you?" the boy says. + +Ben nods again. He steps back. He catches the ball. He throws it back to the boy. + +The boy and Ben play catch. They laugh. They have fun. + +Lily watches them. She feels left out. She wants to play too. + +"Hey, can I join you?" Lily says. + +The boy and Ben stop. They look at Lily. + +"Sure, you can join us. We can take turns," Ben says. + +He gives the ball to Lily. Lily throws it to the boy. + +The boy catches it. He throws it back to Lily. + +Lily, Ben, and the boy play catch. They share the ball. They make friends. + +They forget about the high wall and the big house. They only think about the park and the ball. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build houses and towers and bridges. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look at my house!" Ben said. "It has a red roof and a blue door and a yellow window. It is very big and strong." + +Lily looked at Ben's house. She liked it, but she wanted to make her own house too. She saw some blocks that Ben was not using. They were brown and long and hard. They looked like lumber. + +"Can I have some of these blocks?" Lily asked. "I want to make my house with lumber. It will look like a cabin in the woods." + +"No, you can't!" Ben said. "Those are my blocks. I need them for my house. Go find your own blocks." + +"But you have so many blocks!" Lily said. "You don't need all of them. You can share some with me. Sharing is nice." + +"I don't want to share!" Ben said. "They are mine! Go away!" + +Ben and Lily started to argue. They raised their voices and pushed each other. They were not happy. They were not having fun. + +Mom heard them from the kitchen. She was busy making lunch. She did not like to hear them fight. She came to see what was wrong. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asked. "Why are you yelling and pushing? Why are you not playing nicely?" + +"Ben won't share his blocks with me!" Lily said. "He has all the lumber and I want some for my house!" + +"Lily wants to take my blocks!" Ben said. "They are mine and I need them for my house!" + +Mom looked at their blocks. She saw that Ben had many more blocks than Lily. She saw that Lily only wanted some of the lumber blocks. She had an idea. + +"Why don't you include Lily in your house?" Mom suggested. "You can make a bigger house with more rooms and more windows. You can use the lumber blocks for the walls and the other blocks for the roof and the door. You can both live in the house and be happy." + +Ben and Lily thought about Mom's idea. They liked it. They decided to try it. They stopped arguing and started working together. They used the lumber blocks and the other blocks to make a bigger house. They made rooms and windows and a door. They made a house that they both liked. + +"Look at our house!" Ben and Lily said. "It has a red roof and a blue door and a yellow window. It has lumber walls and a lot of space. It is very big and strong." + +Mom smiled. She was proud of them. She was glad they learned to share and include each other. She hugged them and said, "Well done! You made a beautiful house. Now, who wants lunch?" +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big hill with many rocks. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +They hold hands and start to walk up the hill. They are careful not to slip on the rocks. They see many bugs and flowers on the way. They say hello to the bugs and smell the flowers. + +When they reach the top of the hill, they discover something amazing. There is a big pond with many fish and frogs. The water is clear and smooth. They can see their faces in the water. + +"Wow, look at the pond!" Lily says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Look at the fish!" Ben says. "They are so colorful!" + +They sit on the edge of the pond and watch the fish and frogs. They see some fish jump out of the water and make splashes. They see some frogs hop on the rocks and make noises. + +They laugh and clap their hands. They are happy to discover the pond. They think it is a secret place that only they know. They decide to come back to the pond another day and bring some bread for the fish and frogs. They think the fish and frogs will be their friends. +Lily liked to jog with her dog, Spot. Spot was a big, brown dog who loved to run and play. Lily and Spot jogged every morning around the park, where they saw many birds, flowers and people. + +One day, as they were jogging, Lily saw a bald man with a white coat and a bag. He was a veterinarian, a doctor for animals. He was going to visit some sick cats at the park. Lily and Spot ran up to him and said hello. + +"Hello, little girl and big dog," the veterinarian said. "What are your names?" + +"I'm Lily and this is Spot," Lily said. "We like to jog." + +"That's very good for you and your dog," the veterinarian said. "Jogging keeps you healthy and happy. Do you want to see the cats I'm going to help?" + +"Yes, please," Lily said. She liked cats, too. + +The veterinarian smiled and opened his bag. He took out a stethoscope, a tool to listen to the heart, and a thermometer, a tool to measure the heat. He said he would use them to check the cats. + +Lily and Spot followed the veterinarian to a bench, where there were three cats in a basket. They were black, white and orange. They looked scared and sad. + +The veterinarian gently took out the black cat and put the stethoscope on its chest. He listened carefully and said, "This cat has a cold. He needs some medicine and some rest." + +He gave the cat a pill and put it back in the basket. Then he took out the white cat and put the thermometer in its ear. He looked at the number and said, "This cat has a fever. She needs some water and some ice." + +He gave the cat a bowl of water and a bag of ice and put it back in the basket. Then he took out the orange cat and looked at its paw. He said, "This cat has a cut. He needs some bandage and some cream." + +He wrapped the cat's paw with a bandage and put some cream on it. He put it back in the basket and said, "There, all done. These cats will be better soon." + +Lily and Spot clapped and cheered. They were happy that the veterinarian helped the cats. They thanked him and said goodbye. + +The veterinarian waved and said, "You're welcome. Goodbye, Lily and Spot. Keep jogging and stay healthy." + +Lily and Spot jogged away, feeling good. They had made a new friend and learned something new. They hoped to see the veterinarian and the cats again. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog had rough fur and sharp teeth. Lily was scared. She ran away. Tom stayed. He wanted to pet the dog. + +"Come here, doggy," Tom said. He reached out his hand. The dog growled. He did not like Tom. He bit Tom's hand. Tom cried. He was hurt. + +Lily heard Tom's cry. She felt sorry. She came back. She saw the dog and Tom. She was brave. She picked up a stick. She waved it at the dog. The dog was scared. He ran away. + +Lily helped Tom. She wrapped his hand with her scarf. She hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I should not have left you. We are friends. We should stick together." + +Tom smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I should not have tried to pet the dog. He was not friendly. We should be careful." + +Lily and Tom learned a lesson. They learned to be loyal and cautious. They went home. They told their moms what happened. Their moms were proud of them. They gave them cookies and kisses. Lily and Tom were happy. They were still friends. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide and run to it. They take turns to go down the slide and laugh. They are having fun. + +Then, Lily sees a purse on a bench. It is pink and shiny. Lily likes pink and shiny things. She runs to the purse and picks it up. She opens it and sees many things inside. She sees a phone, a wallet, a key, and a lipstick. She wants to play with them. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Lily calls to Ben. "I found a purse! It has many things inside!" + +Ben runs to Lily and sees the purse. He is curious. He wants to see what is inside too. He reaches for the phone. + +"Wait, Lily, wait!" Ben says. "We should not touch the purse. It is not ours. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they are looking for it. Maybe they are sad. We should put it back." + +Lily does not listen to Ben. She is careless. She thinks the purse is a toy. She puts the lipstick on her mouth and makes a funny face. She laughs. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Lily says. "I look like a clown!" + +Ben does not laugh. He is worried. He sees a lady running to the bench. She looks angry. She sees Lily and Ben with her purse. She shouts at them. + +"Hey, you, hey!" The lady shouts. "What are you doing with my purse? Give it back to me! You are naughty children! You should not take things that are not yours!" + +Lily and Ben are scared. They drop the purse and run away. They are sorry. They did not mean to make the lady angry. They did not know the purse was important. They learned a lesson. They should not be careless. They should not touch things that are not theirs. They should listen to Ben. He is smart. He knows what is right. +Tom is a big lion who lives in a cage at the zoo. He likes to drink water from a big bowl and eat meat from a small bowl. He has a lot of fur and a long tail. He is very strong and healthy. + +One day, a new lion comes to the zoo. His name is Leo and he is very small and thin. He has no fur and a short tail. He is very weak and sick. He does not drink water or eat meat. He only sleeps in a corner of the cage. + +Tom sees Leo and feels sorry for him. He goes to Leo and says, "Hello, I am Tom. You are Leo. We are lions. Why are you so sad?" + +Leo looks at Tom and says, "Hello, Tom. I am Leo. I am sad because I am not a lion. I am a cat. I was taken from my home and put in this cage. I miss my family and my friends. I miss my milk and my fish. I am not strong and healthy like you." + +Tom thinks for a moment and says, "Leo, you are a lion. You have a mane and a roar. You are brave and smart. You can drink water and eat meat. You can be strong and healthy like me. I will be your friend and help you. Come, let me show you the cage and the zoo. There are many things to see and do." + +Leo smiles and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind and friendly. You make me happy. Maybe I can be a lion like you. Maybe I can drink water and eat meat. Maybe I can be strong and healthy like you. Come, let us go and see the cage and the zoo. There are many things to see and do." +Lila was a shy girl who liked to play with her shadow. She would make funny shapes with her hands and feet and watch her shadow copy her. Sometimes she would talk to her shadow and pretend it was her friend. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a boy playing with a ball. He looked lonely and bored. Lila wanted to play with him, but she was too shy to say hello. She hid behind a tree and watched him. + +"Hi, I'm Ben," her shadow said to the boy's shadow.

Everyone came to see the masterpiece he had created. Everyone laughed and cheered, and the little boy was proud of himself. + +It was a lesson about never giving up, no matter what.

The goose was very confused - why was someone trying to sell him? + +The goose slowly approached the stall and saw an old woman standing behind it. He asked, "Why are you trying to sell me?" + +The old woman sighed and said, "It’s a tough world out there, and I need to make some money.

Give it back!" he shouted rudely. + +Tommy and his dad were surprised. They tried to explain that they had only just discovered it, but the man didn't listen. + +Finally, Tommy stepped forward and said, "Our dad always said that it's wrong to take things that don't belong to us. We thought it was a surprise for us, but it's really a surprise for you." + +Eventually, the old man smiled and thanked them for their honesty. As they rolled the melon away, Tommy and his dad were glad that they had done the right thing. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to always behave honestly and not take things that aren't ours. +Once upon a time, there was a small mouse named Gammie.

It was made of tiny circles and lines, overlapping in different directions. She couldn't believe how amazing and detailed it was. + +Amelia wanted to keep the pattern so she decided to dry some leaves.

The boy was sad because the rainbows he loved were usually so colourful and beautiful. + +But then one of his friends told him an important lesson - that it is okay to value things that are not perfect or clean. So the little boy decided that he would value the rainbow anyway and continue to look for rainbows each time it rained. + +He enjoyed noticing how the rainbows were different each time - some were brighter than before, some were messier, and some were two or even three rainbows combined. + +And that is the story of how a little boy learned to value every rainbow - even if it was a little bit filthy. +One day, Sally and her little brother Jake went to the park to play.

Go away." + +Lily felt angry. She said, "Math is not hard and boring. Math is easy and fun. You are mean and rude. I don't want to play with you. Go away." + +She ran back to her mom.

They look under the bed, behind the curtains, in the closet. But they cannot find it. They start to cry. + +"Where is our bear?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone took it," Tom says. + +They go to their mom and dad's room. They knock on the door. Mom and dad are still sleeping. They hear the twins crying. + +"What's wrong, sweeties?" mom asks. + +"Someone took our bear!" Lily and Tom say. + +"Your bear? Are you sure?" dad asks. + +"Yes, we looked everywhere. We can't find it," Lily and Tom say. + +Mom and dad get up and hug the twins. They go to their room and help them look for the bear. They check the toy box, the bed, the curtains, the closet. But they cannot find it. + +"Maybe it's in the living room," mom says. + +They go to the living room and see the bear on the couch. It is next to grandma, who is sleeping. She has a smile on her face. + +"Look, there is our bear!" Lily and Tom say. + +They run to the couch and hug the bear. They are happy. They wake up grandma and say hello. + +"Hello, my darlings. Did you sleep well?" grandma asks. + +"Yes, we did. But we missed our bear. Why do you have it?" Lily asks. + +"Well, I saw it in your room and I remembered how much I loved it when I was a little girl. It was my original bear, you know. I gave it to you when you were born. I wanted to cuddle with it for a while. I hope you don't mind," grandma says. + +Lily and Tom look at each other. They love their grandma. They love their bear. They decide to share it with her. + +"We don't mind, grandma. We love you. And we love our bear. You can cuddle with it anytime you want," Lily and Tom say. + +They all hug and smile. They are a happy family. They have an old and original bear. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they go to the park with their moms.

She has a nice voice and a nice dress. I want to sing like her," Ben says. + +They run to the poster and pretend to sing and dance like Mia. They have fun. + +But then, another girl comes to the park. Her name is Zoe. She has a real microphone and a real dress like Mia. She sees Lily and Ben and laughs. + +"Ha ha, you are silly. You are not like Mia. You have fake dolls and cars. You have no microphone and no dress. You are not famous. You are nothing," Zoe says. + +Lily and Ben feel sad and angry. They don't like Zoe. She is mean and rude. They want to go away. + +But then, Mia comes to the park. She is the real singer. She sees the poster and the kids. She smiles and walks to them. + +"Hi, I'm Mia. I'm happy to see you. You are my fans. You are awesome," Mia says. + +Lily and Ben are surprised and happy. They can't believe Mia is here. They say hello and thank you. + +Mia sees Zoe and her microphone and dress. She sees Lily and Ben and their dolls and cars. She has an idea. + +"Hey, do you want to play with me? I can offer you my microphone and dress. You can offer me your dolls and cars. We can share and have fun. We can all be friends," Mia says. + +Zoe is shocked and ashamed. She feels sorry for being mean and rude. She says sorry and yes. + +Lily and Ben are excited and glad.

The rod is long and thin. It is made of wood. They can use the rod for many things. They can pretend it is a sword, a wand, a snake, or a telescope. + +One day, they are playing with the rod in the garden. They take turns to hold it and make sounds. Anna says, "I am a fairy. I can make magic with my wand." She waves the rod and says, "Abracadabra!" Ben says, "I am a pirate. I can see far away with my telescope." He puts the rod to his eye and says, "Ahoy, matey!" + +They have fun with the rod. But they do not know that the rod is fragile. It is old and cracked. It can break easily. They are too rough with the rod. They swing it and hit it and bend it. Suddenly, the rod snaps in half. They hear a loud crack. They look at the rod. It is broken. They are sad and shocked. They say, "Oh no! Our rod! It is broken!" + +They run to their mom. They show her the rod. They say, "Mom, mom, look! Our rod is broken! We are sorry! We did not mean to break it!" Mom looks at the rod. She is not angry. She is calm and kind. She says, "It's okay, my loves. It was an accident. The rod was fragile. It was not strong enough for your games. But you can still play with the pieces. Or we can find you a new rod. Or we can make one together. There are many things you can do with a rod." + +Anna and Ben feel better. They hug their mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. We love you." Mom says, "I love you too, my loves. Now, why don't you go and wash your hands? It's almost time for dinner. And then you can go to bed and dream of new adventures with your rod." Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, mom. We will dream of new adventures. And we will be careful with our rod." They go and wash their hands. They are happy and excited. They wonder what they will dream of tonight. Maybe they will dream of fairies and pirates. Or maybe they will dream of something else. They can't wait to find out. +Lily was a little girl who loved pandas. She had a big panda toy that she hugged every night. She also had many books and pictures of pandas that she liked to look at. + +One day, Lily went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She was very excited to see the real pandas. She ran to the panda enclosure and pressed her nose against the glass. She saw two pandas eating bamboo and playing with each other. + +"Look, mom, look, dad, they are so cute!" Lily said. + +"Yes, they are, honey. Pandas are very special animals. They need a lot of care and protection," mom said. + +"Why?" Lily asked. + +"Because they are very rare and they live in a place that is far away and sometimes hurt by people who use it for other things," dad said. + +"That is not nice. People should not hurt pandas or their home," Lily said. + +"You are right, Lily. People should respect and love pandas and all the animals and plants that share this world with us," mom said. + +Lily nodded and smiled. She felt happy to see the pandas and learn more about them. She decided to use some of her money to buy a sticker that said "I love pandas" and stick it on her backpack. She also decided to use her crayons and paper to draw a picture of the pandas and give it to her teacher. She wanted to share her love for pandas with everyone. + +The moral value of the story is to respect and love nature and its creatures. +Anna liked to play with her toys in her room.

He said, "This is mine now. I want to talk to my friends." + +Anna was angry. She said, "No, that is my phone. Give it back to me. You have your own toys." + +Tom did not listen. He ran away with the phone. Anna chased him. She tried to get the phone back, but Tom was faster. He ran to the living room and leaned on the sofa. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, you can't catch me." + +Anna was sad. She did not like it when Tom took her things. She went to her mom and told her what happened. Mom was not happy. She said, "Tom, that is not nice. You should not take your sister's things without asking. You should share and be kind." + +She made Tom give the phone back to Anna. She also made him say sorry. Anna was happy. She said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom felt sorry. He said, "Yes, I do. I'm sorry, Anna. I was wrong. Can I play with your phone with you?" + +Anna smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. We can take turns and pretend we are talking to our friends." + +They played together with the phone. They had fun and learned to share. Mom was proud of them. She said, "That's good. Sharing is caring. I love you both." + +The end. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They opened it and saw many old things. They saw a doll, a car, a book, and a necklace. + +"Wow, look at this necklace!" Anna said. "It has shiny stones and a cross. It is so pretty!" + +"Can I see it?" Ben asked. + +"No, it is mine!" Anna said. "I found it first!" + +Ben was sad. He wanted to see the necklace too. He tried to grab it from Anna, but she pulled it away. They started to fight over the necklace. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. She heard them yelling and came to the garage. "What are you doing?" + +"Mom, Anna won't let me see the necklace!" Ben said. + +"Mom, Ben wants to take the necklace from me!" Anna said. + +Their mom looked at the necklace. She recognized it. It was her grandma's necklace. She had given it to her mom when she was a little girl. Her mom had kept it in the box and told her to take good care of it. + +"Children, this necklace is very special," their mom said. "It belonged to my grandma and my mom. They loved God and prayed to him every day. They wore the necklace as a sign of their faith. The cross is a symbol of God's love for us. The stones are called pearls. They are made by oysters in the sea. They are very rare and precious. Do you know how big a pearl is?" + +Anna and Ben shook their heads. + +"A pearl is about one inch big," their mom said. "That is the size of your thumb. It takes a long time and a lot of work for an oyster to make a pearl. It is a gift from God and nature." + +Anna and Ben looked at the necklace with new eyes. They realized how special and beautiful it was. They felt sorry for fighting over it. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Anna said. + +"Me too," Ben said. + +They hugged their mom and each other. + +Their mom smiled. She was happy that they learned to appreciate the necklace and to share it. + +"Children, you are very smart," their mom said. "You learned a valuable lesson today. God wants us to love and respect each other and his creation. He also wants us to pray to him and thank him for his gifts. Do you want to pray with me?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They held the necklace and their mom's hands. They closed their eyes and prayed to God. They thanked him for the necklace, for their family, and for his love. They felt peaceful and happy. They decided to take turns wearing the necklace and to keep it safe in the box. They also decided to play nicely with their other toys and with each other. They knew that God was watching over them and that he was pleased with them. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has many fruits and vegetables. Anna and Ben run to the truck. They want to see the fruits and vegetables. + +"Look, mom, look!" Anna says. "There are apples, and bananas, and carrots, and more!" + +"Yes, they are very nice," mom says. "But we have to be careful. Some of them are expensive. We can only buy what we need." + +Anna and Ben gaze at the apples. They are red and shiny. They look yummy. Anna and Ben love apples. They want to eat them. + +"Mom, can we have an apple, please?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, you can have one apple each," mom says. "But only one, okay?" + +"Okay, mom, thank you!" Anna and Ben say. They pick an apple each from the truck. They pay the man who sells the fruits and vegetables. They say thank you to him, too. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They have an apple each. They bite into the apples. They are sweet and juicy.

She said they could go and look for him. Tom put on his coat and shoes, and followed his mom. They went to the park, where Tom had played the day before. They looked under the swings, and behind the slide, and in the sandbox. But they could not find his soldier. + +Tom was ready to cry. He loved his soldier very much. He was red and shiny, and had a big hat and a sword. He was the leader of his army. He did not want to replace him with another soldier. He wanted his soldier back. + +Then, he saw something shiny in the grass. He ran to it, and picked it up. It was his soldier! He was so happy, he hugged him and kissed him. He showed him to his mom, and said, "Look, mom, I found him! He was hiding in the grass!" + +His mom smiled, and said, "I'm glad you found him, Tom. He must have fallen out of your pocket. Now you can take him home, and make him march with the others. He is a very brave soldier." + +Tom nodded, and put his soldier in his pocket. He was very happy. He thanked his mom, and said, "Let's go home, mom. I want to play with my soldiers. They are all normal, and they are all my friends." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big slide. Tom wanted to go on the slide, but Lily was scared. + +"Come on, Lily, it's fun!" Tom said. + +"No, Tom, it's too high!" Lily said. + +They disagreed. Tom was sad. He wanted to play with Lily. + +Then they saw a giant. The giant was very tall and strong. He had a big smile and a long beard. He was wearing a red shirt and blue pants. + +"Hello, little ones!" the giant said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom and Lily were surprised.

You're very brave!" Gus said. + +"Thank you, Gus, you are very nice!" Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Lily. You're very sweet!" Gus said. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They were happy.

He opened the jar and poured out the beads on the ground. + +But he poured too fast and the beads bounced and rolled everywhere. They scattered all over the grass and the dirt and the stones. + +"Oh no!" Mira cried. "Our beads! They are gone!" + +The children tried to catch the beads, but they were too many and too fast. Some of them went under the tree roots, some of them went into the holes, some of them went down the hill. + +"Stop, stop!" Tobi said. "We have to find them! They are ours!" + +But it was too late. The beads were lost in the ancient village. The children felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had been more careful with their treasure. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park.

You don't understand," he says. + +He walks away with the round thing. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They liked the round thing. They think it was a friend. + +"Maybe he is not a good scientist.

They are still friends. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers and houses. Sometimes they use other things, like books and pillows, to make their towers bigger and stronger. They are very creative. + +One day, they want to make the biggest tower ever. They use all the blocks they have, and then look for more things to add. They find some cans and boxes in the kitchen, and some hats and scarves in the closet. They pile them up on top of the blocks, very carefully. + +But then, Lily's mom comes in and sees the mess. She is not happy. She tells Lily and Ben to clean up right now.

We have toys and snacks!" Ben begged. + +But the cloud did not move or answer. It just stayed in the sky, far away from them. + +Anna and Ben felt sad and disappointed. They wished they could fly up to the cloud and touch the angel. + +"Maybe the angel is busy," Anna said. + +"Maybe the angel is shy," Ben said. + +They decided to wait for the cloud to come closer.

He took the book from Anna and flipped the pages. "This is cool!" + +They heard a loud noise. It was raining outside. The rain was very strong and made the window wet. + +"Oh no!" Anna said. "The rain is coming in!" + +She looked at the book in Ben's hand. It was wet too. The pages were sticky and the colors were fading. + +"Ben, we have to put the books back!" Anna said. "They are getting wet and ruined!" + +Ben looked at the book and felt sad. He liked the book. He wanted to keep it. + +"But I want this book!" Ben said. "It's mine!" + +Anna shook her head. "No, Ben, it's not yours. It belongs to the bookshelf. We have to be nice and take care of the books. Remember what Mommy said?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He remembered that Mommy had told them to be careful with the books and not to damage them. She had said that books were precious and that they could learn many things from them. + +"Okay, Anna, you're right," Ben said. "Let's put the books back." + +They quickly put the books back on the bookshelf. They wiped them with a towel and tried to make them dry. They hoped that the books would be okay. + +They went back to their box and blanket. They pretended they were pirates again. But this time, they did not look for treasure on the bookshelf. They looked for treasure in their imagination. +Ben loved to look at the books on the bookshelf. He liked the pictures and the colors and the shapes. He wanted to read them, but he did not know how. He asked his mom to read to him, but she was busy in the kitchen. + +"Mom, can you read to me?" Ben said. + +"Not now, Ben. I have to make dinner. Why don't you play with your toys?" Mom said. + +Ben was sad. He did not want to play with his toys. He wanted to read the books. He looked at the bookshelf again. He saw a book that he had never seen before. It was on the top shelf, where he could not reach. It had a picture of a bird on the cover. Ben liked birds. He wanted to see the book. + +He got a chair from the table and pushed it to the bookshelf. He climbed on the chair and stretched his arm. He could almost touch the book. He tried harder. He leaned forward. He grabbed the book. He was happy. + +But then, he lost his balance. He fell off the chair. He dropped the book. He landed on the floor. He was scared. He cried. + +Mom heard him cry. She ran to him. She saw him on the floor. She saw the book. She saw the chair. She understood what happened. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Mom said. + +She picked him up and hugged him. She checked him for hurts. He was not hurt. He was just scared. + +"I'm okay, Mom. I'm sorry. I wanted to see the book. It has a bird on it. I like birds." Ben said. + +"I know, Ben. But you should not climb on the chair. It is dangerous. You could get hurt. You could break the bookshelf. You could make a mess." Mom said. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I won't do it again." Ben said. + +Mom smiled. She kissed him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I love you. Do you want me to read you the book?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, please." + +Mom took the book and the chair. She put them back where they belonged. She took Ben to the couch. She opened the book. She read to him. + +The book was about a bird that could soar in the sky. It was an enormous bird. It had big wings and a long tail. It was beautiful. It could fly high and fast and far. It could see many things. It could make many friends. It was happy. + +Ben liked the book. He liked the bird. He liked to soar with the bird in his mind. He forgot about his fall. He was happy. He hugged Mom. He said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." + +Mom hugged him back. She said, "You're welcome, Ben. I love you too." +Tom is a dog. He likes to play and run and bark. He has a bone. He loves his bone. He hides his bone under a tree. + +One day, Tom sees a cat. The cat is black and white. The cat is on the fence. Tom wants to chase the cat. He runs to the fence and barks. + +"Tom, behave!" says his owner. His owner is a girl. She is nice and kind. She gives Tom food and water and hugs. "You cannot chase the cat. The cat is scared of you. You have to be nice to the cat." + +Tom stops barking. He looks at his owner. He wags his tail. He likes his owner. He wants to make her happy. + +"Good boy, Tom," says his owner. She smiles and pets him. "Now, where is your bone? Do you want to play with your bone?" + +Tom remembers his bone. He runs to the tree. He digs under the tree. He finds his bone. He is happy. + +"Be careful, Tom," says his owner. "Do not break your bone. Your bone is good for your teeth. And do not lose your bone. Your bone is special. You are a lucky dog to have a bone." + +Tom nods. He is careful. He does not break his bone. He does not lose his bone. He plays with his bone. He is a lucky dog. He has a bone and an owner. He is a happy dog. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. They had many toys and costumes, but their favorite was a huge mask that looked like a lion. They took turns to wear the mask and roar at each other, pretending to be the king of the jungle. + +One day, they were playing with the mask in their room, when their mom called them for lunch. "Come on, kids, it's time to eat!" she said. Lila and Ben ran to the kitchen, but they forgot to put away the mask. They left it on the floor, near the door. + +After lunch, they wanted to play with the mask again, but they could not find it. They looked under the bed, in the closet, in the drawers, but the mask was gone. They started to cry and blame each other. "You lost it!" "No, you did!" "It was your turn to put it away!" "No, it was yours!" + +Their mom heard them and came to their room. She saw the mask laying on the floor, near the door. She picked it up and gave it to them. "Here is your mask, kids. It was not lost, it was just in a bad place. You should always put away your toys when you are done playing, or someone might trip on them or take them. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Ben nodded and said sorry to their mom and to each other. They hugged and thanked her for finding their mask. They learned to be more careful and responsible with their things, and to share and cooperate with their sibling. They put on the mask and played happily, roaring like lions. +Anna and Ben were restless. They wanted to go outside and play, but it was too hot and sunny. Mom said they had to stay inside and drink water. She said water would provide them with energy and keep them cool. Anna and Ben did not like water. They liked juice and soda. + +They saw a big bottle of water on the table. Mom was busy in the kitchen. Anna had an idea. She whispered to Ben, "Let's make the water fun. Let's add some sugar and food coloring. Then it will be like juice." Ben nodded. He liked Anna's idea. They got some sugar and food coloring from the cupboard. They poured some water into two cups. They added sugar and food coloring. They stirred and stirred. They made red water and blue water. + +They were about to drink their water when Mom came out of the kitchen. She saw the cups and the bottle and the mess. She was not happy. She said, "What are you doing? You can't drink that. That's not water. That's sugar water. That's bad for you. It will make you sick and thirsty. You have to drink plain water. That's what provides you with health and hydration." She took away the cups and the bottle. She gave them new cups of plain water. She made them drink it all. + +Anna and Ben did not like plain water. They made faces and complained. They wanted their red water and blue water. They were still restless. They did not feel any energy or coolness. They felt sticky and hot. They wished they had listened to Mom. They learned a lesson. Water is good. Sugar water is bad. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big window. They can see the garden and the sky from the window. + +One day, they see something new in the garden. It is a big red ball. It is shiny and round. It looks like fun. They want to play with it. + +"Look, Ben, a ball!" Anna says. She points to the window. + +"Wow, a ball!" Ben says. He runs to the window. He kneels on the floor. He puts his hands on the window. He tries to touch the ball. + +"Can we have it, Anna?" Ben asks. He looks at his sister. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe it is someone else's ball. Maybe they will come back for it." Anna says. She kneels next to Ben. She looks at the ball. + +They wait and watch. They hope no one will take the ball. They think the ball is perfect. They want to play with it. They want to bounce it and roll it and catch it. + +After a while, they hear a knock on the door. They turn around. They see their mom. She has a smile on her face. + +"Hi, kids. I have a surprise for you." She says. She holds something behind her back. + +"What is it, mom?" Anna and Ben ask. They get up from the floor. They run to the door. + +Mom shows them what she has. It is the big red ball. She gives it to them. + +"I saw this ball in the store. I thought you would like it. It is yours. You can play with it in the garden." She says. + +"Yay, thank you, mom!" Anna and Ben say. They hug their mom. They take the ball. They run to the garden. They are very happy. They have the perfect ball. +Tim and Mia were playing with cardboard boxes in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were spaceships or castles or cars. Tim had a big green box that he found in the garage. He said it was his spaceship and he was going to fly to the moon. + +Mia wanted to play with the green box too. She asked Tim if she could be his co-pilot. Tim said no, he wanted to fly alone. He said the green box was too small for two people. Mia felt sad and angry. She thought Tim was being mean and selfish. + +She decided to make her own spaceship with a smaller cardboard box. She found some stickers and crayons and decorated it with stars and planets. She put on a helmet and a cape and said she was going to fly to Mars. + +Tim saw Mia's spaceship and thought it looked cool. He wanted to play with it too. He asked Mia if he could join her. Mia said no, she wanted to fly alone. She said her spaceship was too small for two people. Tim felt sad and angry. He thought Mia was being mean and selfish. + +He tried to grab Mia's spaceship and pull it away from her. Mia held on tight and shouted at him to stop. They both pulled and tugged and fought over the cardboard box. The box ripped and tore and fell apart. They both fell to the ground and started to cry. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken cardboard box and the two crying children. She asked them what happened and why they were fighting. They both told her their stories and blamed each other. + +Their mom shook her head and said, "You both need to learn to share and be kind. Playing together is more fun than playing alone. And cardboard boxes are not worth fighting over. They are just cardboard. They can break and tear and get wet and dirty. But your friendship is more important. It can last and grow and make you happy. But you have to take care of it and respect it. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Mia nodded and said they were sorry. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They decided to make a new spaceship together with the pieces of the cardboard box. They used tape and glue and scissors and more stickers and crayons. They made a bigger and better spaceship than before. They both fit inside and had room to stretch. They said they were going to fly to the stars. + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's better. I'm proud of you. Have fun and be safe. And remember, sharing is caring." +Tom and Lily liked to play in the big house. They liked to run and jump and hide. One day, they found a new place to play. It was a door in the wall. The door was small and dark and had a lock. + +"Let's see what is inside," Tom said. He pushed the door and it opened. Behind the door was a chamber. The chamber was small and dark and had a lot of things. There were boxes and bags and books and clothes. There was also a big chest. + +"Wow, look at this," Lily said. She ran to the chest and opened it. Inside the chest was a lot of shiny things. There were coins and jewels and crowns and rings. Lily picked up a crown and put it on her head. + +"I am a queen," she said. "And you are a king." She gave Tom a ring and put it on his finger. + +They played with the shiny things and pretended to be a king and a queen. They did not hear the door close behind them. The door was heavy and had a lock. They were locked in the chamber. + +"Uh-oh," Tom said. He ran to the door and tried to open it. But it did not move. He banged on the door and shouted. But no one heard him. + +"Lily, we are stuck," he said. He looked at Lily. She was scared and sad. She took off the crown and the ring and put them back in the chest. + +"Tom, I want to go out," she said. She hugged Tom and cried. + +Tom hugged Lily and tried to be brave. He hoped someone would find them and open the door. He hoped they would not be in the chamber for a long time. He wished they had not played with the shiny things. He wished they had not gone into the chamber. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a kite and a bike. They have fun. + +One day, the sky is gray. It looks like rain. Tom and Lily do not want to go home. They want to play more. They see a big tree. The tree has many leaves. They think the tree is a good place to hide. + +They run to the tree. They leave their ball, their kite and their bike on the grass. They climb the tree. They find a hole. The hole is dark and cozy. They go inside the hole. They laugh and talk. + +They do not see the sun. They do not hear the clock. They do not know it is noon. They are hungry. They want to eat. They decide to go back to the grass. They want to find their ball, their kite and their bike. They want to go home. + +They come out of the hole. They look at the grass. They do not see their ball, their kite and their bike. They are gone. Someone took them. Tom and Lily are sad. They cry. They search for their things. They do not find them. They are lost. + +They see a man. The man is nice. He has a hat, a coat and a bag. He smiles at them. He says he is a park ranger. He says he saw their ball, their kite and their bike. He says he put them in his bag. He says he was looking for them. He says he wants to help them. He gives them their things. He shows them the way home. He says goodbye. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They thank the man. They hug their ball, their kite and their bike. They run to their home. They tell their mom and dad what happened. They say they are sorry. They say they learned a lesson. They say they will not hide in the tree again. They say they will watch the clock. They say they will be careful. They say they love their mom and dad. They eat their lunch. They take a nap. They dream of the park. They dream of the tree. They dream of the man. They dream of their ball, their kite and their bike. They smile. +Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They liked to look at the sky and pretend they were astronauts. They saw many stars and a big moon. + +"Look, Max, a comet!" Lily said, pointing at a bright streak in the sky. "It is cool and fast. I wish I could fly on it." + +"Me too, Lily. But comets are very far and hot. They are not for playing. They are for cleaning." Max said, remembering what his dad told him. + +"Cleaning? How do comets clean?" Lily asked, curious. + +"Comets clean the space. They take away the dust and the rocks that make the sky dirty. They are like big brooms." Max explained. + +"Wow, comets are amazing. They are cool and helpful. I want to be a comet when I grow up." Lily said, smiling. + +"Me too, Lily. But first we have to clean our toys. Mom said we have to put them away before dinner." Max said, looking at the mess they made. + +"Okay, Max. Let's clean our toys. Then we can watch the comet again." Lily said, picking up her doll. + +They cleaned their toys and ran inside. They ate their dinner and thanked their mom. Then they went to the window and looked at the sky. They saw the comet again, shining and moving. + +"Good night, comet. Thank you for cleaning the space." Lily and Max said together. + +They hugged each other and went to bed. They dreamed of flying on the comet and seeing the stars. They were happy. +Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play with their kayak. They had a big lake near their house where they could paddle and splash. One day, they saw a high hill on the other side of the lake. They wanted to go there and see what was on top. + +"Let's go, Tom!" Sam said. "Maybe we can find some treasure or a cave!" + +"OK, Sam, but we have to be careful. The lake is deep and the hill is far," Tom said. + +They got into their kayak and started to paddle. They sang songs and told jokes as they went. They did not see the dark clouds that were coming. They did not hear the thunder that was rumbling. + +Soon, the wind started to blow hard. The water became rough and choppy. The kayak rocked and bounced. Sam and Tom were scared. + +"Sam, we have to go back! It's too dangerous!" Tom shouted. + +"No, Tom, we are almost there! We can make it!" Sam shouted back. + +They argued and fought. They did not listen to each other. They did not work together. The kayak tipped over and they fell into the water. They tried to swim, but the waves were too strong. They cried for help, but no one heard them. + +They wished they had listened to Tom. They wished they had gone back. They wished they had surrendered. But it was too late. The water was too deep. The hill was too far. The kayak was gone. Sam and Tom were gone. +One day, a monkey was in a zoo.

He jumped on the truck and hid in a barrel. + +The truck drove away from the zoo. The monkey was happy. He thought he would escape. But the truck did not go to the jungle. It went to a big city. The city was loud and busy. The monkey was scared. He did not know the city. He thought the city was dangerous. + +The truck stopped at a store. The driver got out and opened the back. He took out some barrels and put them on a cart. He did not see the monkey. The monkey saw a chance. He jumped out of the barrel and ran away. He looked for a place to hide. He saw a park with some trees. He ran to the park. He climbed a tree and rested. He hoped to find a way back to the jungle. He missed his home. +Lily and Sam were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. + +"Let's go sledding!" Sam suggested. He had a red sled that he liked to ride down the hill. + +"Okay!" Lily agreed. She liked sledding too. They put on their coats and gloves and ran to the hill. + +They took turns sledding down the hill. They went very fast and laughed a lot. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily saw something shiny in the snow. She stopped her sled and got off. She walked over to the shiny thing. It was a drain. + +"What is that?" Sam asked. He followed Lily to the drain. + +"It's a drain," Lily said. "It's where the water goes when it rains." + +"But it's not raining. It's snowing," Sam said. + +"Maybe the water is hiding under the snow," Lily said. She bent down and touched the drain. It was icy. + +"Ouch!" Lily cried. She pulled her hand back. The drain was very cold and hurt her hand. + +"Are you okay?" Sam asked. He was worried about Lily. + +"I'm okay," Lily said. She rubbed her hand. "But the drain is mean. It bit me." + +"Let's go away from the drain," Sam said. He helped Lily up. "It's not nice." + +"Okay," Lily said. She nodded. She did not like the drain either. + +They went back to their sleds and sledded down the hill again. They forgot about the drain and had fun. They did not touch the drain again. +Jenny loved to draw with her pastels. She had many colors and she made pretty pictures of flowers, animals and rainbows.

They make me sad," Mia said. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I know, Mia, but sometimes we have to wait for things to get better. The dark and the thunder will not last forever. Soon, the sun will shine again and you will see a beautiful rainbow. The sun and the rainbow are gifts from God. He loves you and he wants you to be happy. But he also wants you to be patient and brave. Can you do that, Mia?" + +Mia nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I can. I love God and I love you. Thank you for making me feel better." + +Her mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mia. You are a good girl. Why don't we read a book or play a game until the storm is over?" + +Mia agreed and they had fun together. After a while, the dark and the thunder went away and the sun shone brightly. Mia looked out the window and saw a big rainbow. She was so happy and said, "Look, mom, the sun and the rainbow are here. They are so pretty. Can I go outside and play now?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, Mia, you can. But remember to thank God for his gifts and to always be patient and brave when things are hard. He will always be with you and help you." + +Mia said, "I will, mom. I love you." She kissed her mom and ran outside to play. She felt the sun on her face and the rainbow in her heart. She was glad that she waited for the storm to pass. She learned that good things come to those who wait. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a magazine on the table. The magazine has many pictures of toys and games. Tim and Sam wonder what they are. + +"Look, Sam, this is a robot. It can talk and move. I want it!" Tim says. + +"And this is a puzzle. It has many pieces. You can make different shapes. I want it!" Sam says. + +They both grab the magazine and pull it. They want to have it for themselves. They start to fight and shout. + +"Stop, stop!" Mom says. She comes and takes the magazine away. She is not happy. She is angry. + +"Tim and Sam, why are you fighting? This is not your magazine. This is Dad's magazine. He got it from work. He needs it for his job. You cannot have it. You have many toys and games already. You should share and be kind. Fighting is not good. It makes you and others sad. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Tim and Sam feel sorry. They nod their heads. They say sorry to Mom and Dad. They hug each other. They decide to play with their own toys and games. They do not need the magazine. They are happy. They have learned a lesson. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play dress up. They have many clothes and hats and shoes. They can be anything they want. + +One day, they find a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there are many giant clothes. They are too big for Tom and Lily. But they want to try them on. + +"Look, Lily, I can wear this giant coat. It is like a tent. I can hide inside," Tom says. He puts on the coat and buttons it up. It covers his whole body. + +"That is funny, Tom. But I can wear this giant hat. It is like a roof. I can sit under it," Lily says. She puts on the hat and pulls it down. It covers her whole head. + +They laugh and giggle. They pretend they are giants. They walk around the garage. They bump into things. They make loud noises. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is looking for them. + +"Tom, Lily, where are you? It is time for lunch," Mom says. + +Tom and Lily stop playing. They want to eat. They try to take off the giant clothes. But it is not easy. The clothes are too big and tight. They are stuck. + +"Help, Mom, help. We can't get out of the giant clothes," Tom and Lily shout. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the garage. She sees the big box and the giant clothes. She smiles. She helps Tom and Lily get out of the clothes. She hugs them. + +"You two are very silly. But you are also very creative. I like your dress up game. But next time, please use your own clothes. They are easier to wear," Mom says. + +Tom and Lily nod. They say sorry. They are hungry. They follow Mom to the kitchen. They wash their hands. They eat their lunch. They are happy. +Anna liked to go to the park with her mom. She liked to see the ducks, the flowers, and the big pond. One day, she saw a man with a long stick and a string. He was sitting by the pond and looking at the water. + +"Mom, what is he doing?" Anna asked. + +"He is fishing, Anna. He is trying to catch a fish," Mom said. + +"A fish? What is a fish?" Anna wondered. + +"A fish is an animal that lives in the water. It has scales, fins, and a tail. Some fish are big, some are small, some are colorful, some are plain. Do you want to see a fish?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, please!" Anna said. + +Mom and Anna walked over to the man. He smiled and said hello. + +"Hi, I'm Tom. Do you like fishing?" he asked. + +"I don't know. I never saw a fish before," Anna said. + +"Well, maybe you will see one today. I have a special bait that fish like. It is a worm. Do you know what a worm is?" Tom asked. + +"A worm is a long, thin, and wiggly thing. It lives in the dirt. I don't like worms. They are icky," Anna said. + +Tom laughed. "I know, worms are icky. But fish like them. They think they are yummy. Watch this. I will put a worm on the hook and throw the string in the water. Then I will wait for a fish to bite. When I feel a tug, I will pull the string and the fish will come out of the water. Do you want to help me?" Tom asked. + +Anna nodded. She was curious. She wanted to see a fish. She held the stick with Tom and waited. She felt a tug. She pulled the stick with Tom. A fish came out of the water. It was shiny and wet. It had scales, fins, and a tail. It was small and plain. It was wriggling and splashing. + +"Wow! You caught a fish!" Mom said. + +"Look, Anna, this is a fish. Do you want to touch it?" Tom asked. + +Anna reached out her hand. She touched the fish. It was slimy and cold. She giggled. + +"It's funny. It's slippery. It's a fish," Anna said. + +Tom smiled. "Yes, it is. Do you like it?" he asked. + +Anna nodded. She liked the fish. She wanted to keep it. + +"Can I have it? Can I take it home?" Anna asked. + +Tom shook his head. "No, Anna, you can't. This fish belongs to the pond. It needs water to breathe and swim. It has friends and family here. If you take it home, it will die. That would be sad. We have to let it go. We have to put it back in the water. Do you understand?" Tom asked. + +Anna frowned. She didn't want to let the fish go. She wanted to play with it. But she understood. She didn't want the fish to die. She wanted the fish to be happy. She wanted the fish to be safe. + +"Okay, I understand. Bye, fish. Thank you for letting me touch you. Have fun in the pond. Be safe," Anna said. + +Tom gently unhooked the fish and put it back in the water. The fish swam away. Anna waved at it. + +"Good job, Anna. You are very kind and brave. You introduced yourself to a fish. That was a new and exciting experience. How do you feel?" Mom asked. + +Anna smiled. She felt proud and happy. She learned something new. She made a new friend. + +"I feel good, Mom. I like fishing. I like fish. Can we come back to the pond again?" Anna asked. + +"Of course, Anna. We can come back anytime. Maybe next time, you will see a different fish. Maybe a big one, or a colorful one, or a plain one. There are many kinds of fish in the pond. They are all beautiful and amazing. Just like you," Mom said. + +Anna hugged Mom. She thanked Tom. She said goodbye to the pond. She walked home with Mom. She had a wonderful day. She couldn't wait to come back. She couldn't wait to see more fish. +One day, a little girl named Lily went to the park with her mom. She brought her favorite toy, a brown bear with a red bow. She loved to hug and talk to her bear. + +At the park, Lily saw a big pond with ducks and fish. She wanted to play with them, so she ran to the edge of the water. She held her bear in one hand and waved to the ducks with the other. + +"Hello, ducks! Do you want to be my friends?" she asked. + +The ducks quacked and swam closer to her. Lily smiled and threw some bread crumbs for them. She leaned over to see the fish, but she lost her balance and fell into the pond. She splashed and cried, and her bear fell with her. They both got very wet and cold. + +"Help, help!" Lily shouted. + +Her mom heard her and ran to the pond. She reached out and pulled Lily and her bear out of the water. She wrapped them in a towel and hugged them. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" she asked. + +"I'm okay, mom, but my bear is not. He is soaked and sad," Lily said. + +"Don't worry, honey, we can dry him at home. He will be fine," her mom said. + +She took Lily and her bear to the car and drove them home. She put the bear in the dryer and gave Lily a warm bath. She put on some dry clothes and a long scarf for Lily. She made some hot chocolate and cookies for them. + +"Here you go, Lily. This will make you feel better," she said. + +"Thank you, mom. You are the best," Lily said. + +She took a sip of her chocolate and a bite of her cookie. She smiled and hugged her mom. + +The dryer beeped and her mom took out the bear. He was dry and fluffy again. She put the red bow back on his neck and gave him to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, your bear is happy again," she said. + +Lily took her bear and cuddled him. She kissed his nose and whispered in his ear. + +"I'm sorry, bear. I didn't mean to make you soak. I love you very much," she said. + +The bear smiled and hugged her back. He whispered in her ear. + +"I love you too, Lily. You are my best friend," he said. + +The end. +Mila and her dad went outside at night to look at the stars. They had a big blanket and a flashlight. Mila liked to see the bright dots in the sky. She asked her dad what they were. + +"Those are stars, Mila. They are very far away, but they shine like little lamps. Some of them are bigger and brighter than others. Do you see that one?" He pointed to a star that was bigger and brighter than the rest. + +"Yes, I see it. It is very pretty. What is it called?" Mila asked. + +"That is a comet, Mila. It is a special kind of star that has a long tail. It moves very fast across the sky. It is very rare to see a comet. We are lucky tonight." He said. + +"Wow, a comet. It is amazing. I like its tail. It looks like a ribbon." Mila said. She admired the comet and its tail. She thought it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. + +"Me too, Mila. I like its tail too. It looks like a ribbon of fire. It is very special. Do you know what else is special?" He asked. + +"What, dad?" Mila asked. + +"You are, Mila. You are my special girl. You are very smart and curious and brave. You are very adorable. I love you very much." He said. He hugged her and kissed her cheek. + +"I love you too, dad. You are my special dad. You are very kind and funny and strong. You are very handsome. Thank you for showing me the comet." She said. She hugged him back and smiled. + +They cuddled under the blanket and watched the comet and the stars until they fell asleep. They had a wonderful night. +Lily was a naughty girl who liked to play with water. She would turn on the tap and fill the sink with water, then splash it everywhere. She did not listen to her mom, who told her to stop wasting water and making a mess. + +One day, Lily found a small toy boat in her room. She wanted to make it sail in the water, so she took it to the bathroom. She turned on the tap and filled the sink with water, then put the boat in. She smiled as she watched the boat float and spin. + +"Look, mom, look!" she shouted. "My boat is sailing!" + +Mom came to the bathroom and saw the water overflowing from the sink. She was angry and scolded Lily. + +"Lily, what are you doing? You are being very naughty! You are wasting water and making a mess! Turn off the tap and clean up this water right now!" + +Lily did not like being scolded. She pouted and said, "No, I want to play with my boat!" + +She grabbed the boat and ran to the bathtub. She turned on the tap and filled the bathtub with water, then put the boat in. She giggled as she watched the boat float and spin. + +"Look, mom, look!" she shouted. "My boat is sailing!" + +Mom came to the bathtub and saw the water overflowing from the bathtub. She was furious and yelled at Lily. + +"Lily, what are you doing? You are being very naughty! You are wasting water and making a mess! Turn off the tap and get out of the bathtub right now!" + +Lily did not like being yelled at. She cried and said, "No, I want to play with my boat!" + +She grabbed the boat and ran to the toilet. She turned on the tap and filled the toilet with water, then put the boat in. She squealed as she watched the boat float and spin. + +"Look, mom, look!" she shouted. "My boat is sailing!" + +Mom came to the toilet and saw the water overflowing from the toilet. She was livid and screamed at Lily. + +"Lily, what are you doing? You are being very naughty! You are wasting water and making a mess! Turn off the tap and give me that boat right now!" + +Lily did not like being screamed at. She threw the boat into the toilet and flushed it. She said, "No, I want my boat to escape!" + +She watched as the boat went down the drain and disappeared. She smiled and said, "Bye, bye, boat!" + +Mom came to the toilet and saw the boat gone. She was heartbroken and sobbed. She said, "Lily, what have you done? You have flushed your boat down the drain! You have lost your boat forever! How could you be so naughty?" + +Lily did not care. She said, "I don't care. I have other toys. I want to play with water!" + +She ran to the kitchen and turned on the tap. She did not see the water leaking from the pipes and flooding the floor. She did not hear her mom crying and calling for help. She did not know that she had caused a lot of trouble and damage. She was a very naughty girl who liked to play with water. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a purple fork. They pretended it was a magic wand that could do anything. They took turns using the fork and made up fun stories. + +One day, they had a big fight over the fork. Anna wanted to use it to make a cake, but Ben wanted to use it to make a rocket. They both pulled on the fork and yelled at each other. + +"Give me the fork! It's my turn!" Anna yelled. + +"No, it's mine! I had it first!" Ben yelled. + +They yelled so loud that their mom heard them from the kitchen. She came to their room and saw them fighting over the fork. She was not happy. + +"Stop yelling and fighting, Anna and Ben!" she said. "You need to share and be nice to each other. The fork is not worth hurting your feelings. How would you feel if someone took your toy and yelled at you?" + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They realized that their mom was right. They hugged each other and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. You can use the fork to make a cake. I'll help you," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. You can use the fork to make a rocket. I'll help you," Anna said. + +They smiled and thanked their mom. They used the fork to make a cake and a rocket together. They had more fun when they shared and were nice to each other. They learned that yelling and fighting is not good, and that the fork is not as important as their friendship. +Sara loves to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She paints flowers and trees and animals. She likes to show her paintings to her mom and dad. They always say she is a good painter. + +One day, Sara has a new baby brother. His name is Ben. Sara wants to paint him too. She thinks he is very cute and tiny. She takes her paints and brushes and goes to his crib. She says, "Hello, baby Ben. I am Sara. I am your big sister. I want to paint you." + +But baby Ben does not like to be painted. He cries and wiggles. He makes a mess with the paints. He gets paint on his face and clothes and blanket. Sara is sad and sorry. She says, "Oh, no. I am sorry, baby Ben. I did not mean to make you cry. I just wanted to paint you." + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She sees Sara and baby Ben covered in paint. She is not angry. She smiles and says, "Oh, my. What a colorful surprise. You two are very lucky. You have each other to play with and love. But maybe we should use paper and not baby for painting." + +Sara nods and hugs baby Ben. She says, "I love you, baby Ben. You are my lucky brother. And I am your lucky sister. But next time, I will paint on paper. And you can watch me and learn." Mom helps them clean up and gives them a kiss. They are happy and cozy. They are a lucky family. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a pair of scissors and some paper. She liked to cut shapes and make pictures. Ben had a bowl and some blocks. He liked to fill the bowl with blocks and dump them out. + +"Look, Lily, I made a tower!" Ben said, showing his bowl of blocks. + +"That's nice, Ben," Lily said, cutting a circle. "Look, I made a sun!" + +They were having fun, until Lily saw something shiny on the table. It was Mom's necklace. It had beads and a clasp. Lily wanted to see it better. She put down her scissors and paper and reached for the necklace. + +"Hey, Lily, what are you doing?" Ben asked, seeing her grab the necklace. + +"I want to see the necklace," Lily said, holding it up. "It's pretty." + +"No, Lily, that's Mom's necklace. You can't play with it. It's not a toy. Put it back!" Ben said, getting up from his bowl of blocks. + +But Lily did not listen. She liked the necklace. She wanted to wear it. She put it around her neck and tried to close the clasp. But the clasp was too small and hard. She could not close it. She pulled and tugged, but it did not work. She felt uncomfortable. The necklace was too tight. It hurt her neck. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried, feeling the necklace pinch her skin. + +"See, Lily, I told you not to play with it. You're in trouble now. Let me help you," Ben said, coming over to her. + +He tried to open the clasp, but he could not either. He was scared. He did not want Mom to be angry. He looked around for something to help. He saw the scissors. He had an idea. + +"Maybe I can cut the necklace," he said, grabbing the scissors. + +"No, Ben, don't cut the necklace. It's Mom's necklace. She will be sad. It's not a toy. Put it back!" Lily said, feeling more uncomfortable. + +But Ben did not listen. He wanted to help Lily. He wanted to get the necklace off. He opened the scissors and tried to cut the necklace. But the necklace was too strong and hard. He could not cut it. He pushed and squeezed, but it did not work. He felt frustrated. The scissors slipped from his hand and fell on the floor. + +"Clang, clang, clang!" The scissors made a loud noise. + +Mom heard the noise. She came into the living room. She saw Lily and Ben. She saw the necklace and the scissors. She was angry. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked, in a stern voice. + +Lily and Ben were quiet. They did not know what to say. They felt sorry. They knew they did something bad. + +"We're sorry, Mom," they said, in a small voice. + +Mom sighed. She was not happy. She took the necklace from Lily's neck. She opened the clasp. She put the necklace back on the table. She picked up the scissors and the paper. She put them away. She looked at Lily and Ben. + +"You should not play with things that are not yours. You could have hurt yourselves or broken the necklace. That was very naughty. You need to learn to listen and share. Do you understand?" Mom said, in a serious voice. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They felt ashamed. They hugged Mom. +
