That way we can learn more about them without scaring them away." + +Sam smiled and said, "That's a much better idea!" + +So the boys went to the library and read a book about cricket.

Jack sniffled and said, "I was rubbbing against the rock when a big wave pushed me away and now I'm upset." + +The seagull smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure that wave just wanted to give you a hug. Maybe if you rubb the rock again, the wave will come back and give you another hug." + +Jack smiled and said, "Really?" The seagull nodded, so Jack went to the rock and started to rubb it. Sure enough, a big wave came and gently pushed him back. Jack smiled and said, "Thank you, wave!" +Once upon a time there was a little bird, who lived high up in a tall tree.

The little girl immediately ran to the campfire and said, "Please be my friend!" + +The rabbit peeked out from behind a log and said, "I don't usually make friends but I'm lonely too. Let's be friends!" + +The little girl and the rabbit became friends and the crane flew away. The little girl and the rabbit huddled around the campfire and laughed and talked for hours. They felt so much less lonely together. + +And from then on, the little girl and her new friend the rabbit would burn a campfire every night, enjoying the warmth and friendship. +Once upon a time, there was a small bottle.

It was Mrs. Brown, her neighbour. She asked Maxine what she was doing and Maxine replied that she was bringing the prune back to life. + +Mrs. Brown crossed her arms and said, “Why would you do that?

It's ok if you can't get it. I'll get it for you." She reached the zipper and gave it back to Tommy. + +He felt happy and hugged his mother. "Thanks Mom!" he said. + +"Of course," she said, ruffling his hair. "You don't ever have to surrender when you're faced with a difficult situation, Tommy. You're young, so don't ever give up.

You will catch one soon if you keep trying." + +Max was determined and kept looking, but still that same tough insect seemed to be teasing him. He was even considering getting a net to help. + +Suddenly, the insect flew onto a nearby bush. Max rushed onto the bush, but his timing was off, and the insect just barely escaped.

So the little bunny pushed and pushed the lock and it finally opened. + +The little bunny was so happy and inside the lock he found a big surprise. He had fun all day playing with his new surprise. +Once upon a time, there was a star named Bright. Every night, Bright would twinkle in the sky and make everyone happy. One night, a little girl named Sarah looked up at the sky and saw Bright. She called out to it, "Hello, star! What's your name?" + +Bright twinkled back, its light brighter than ever. It seemed to whisper, "My name is Bright!" + +Sarah was so excited to meet Bright. Every night, she would climb up to a nearby hill and talk to Bright about everything. She always felt comforted and happy afterwards. + +One night, Sarah was out looking for Bright, but she couldn't find it. She looked all over the sky, but Bright was nowhere to be found. Sarah was very sad and started to cry. + +Suddenly, something sparkled in Sarah's hand. It was a star-shaped necklace with a bright diamond in the center. There was a card that said "From Bright with Love". Sarah felt so special and smiled. She cheered up and realized that a part of Bright was always with her. + +And ever since, every night Sarah climbs up to that hill to talk to Bright and feel its love. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Sally who wanted to make a project for her school. She decided to make a model of a car using card, glue, and glitter. + +Sally began to make the car, cutting out the card and gluing it together. But when she looked at it, she saw that it was very ugly! She started to cry. + +Just then, her friend Jack came over. + +Jack said, "Why are you crying, Sally?" + +Sally showed him the car. "It looks so ugly," she said. + +Jack put his arm around Sally and said, "It's okay. I think your car looks great." + +Sally smiled. She looked at Jack and said, "Let's make it even better!" + +So Sally and Jack got to work and soon had made the car look really cool. They used lots of glue and sprinkled the car with glitter. When they were finished, they stood back and admired the shiny car. + +Sally smiled. She had decided to make something special, and she had. The ugly car was now beautiful. +Jack was walking around the park. He was looking at all the different birds, trees and flowers. Suddenly, he heard a noise, and he looked up. In the sky, there was an enormous bird. It was almost as big as a car! + +Jack admired the bird. "Wow, it's so big," he said. + +Suddenly, the bird flew down and landed on the ground, right in front of Jack. It dropped a big metal tray at his feet. + +Jack looked inside the tray. It was full of wonderful things. There were giant leaves, colourful stones, and beautiful feathers. + +Jack admired the tray. He said, "Mommy, can I keep this tray? It's so lovely." + +Mommy smiled and nodded. "Yes, Jack. You can keep it. Now put it away so you can play with all the things you found in it!" + +Jack smiled and did as his mother said. He admired his new tray. It was certainly an enormous gift! +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Jack. He was very curious and playful. + +One day, Jack asked his mom if he could go outside. His mom said, "Yes, but make sure you do your work first." + +So Jack went outside and played in the yard. He was so excited that he was allowed outside! + +As he was running around, he spotted a little puppy. He stopped to pet it. The puppy was also playful, and they became fast friends. + +Then Jack noticed that the pup was very tired. So he asked his mom if the puppy could stay with them. His mom said, "Yes, of course, but you have to help me with the work." + +Jack was delighted and he was so happy that he was allowed to do the work. So he and the puppy both worked together to take care of their new home! +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many things to play with: cars, dolls, blocks, books and more. They like to share their things and have fun together. + +But then, Tom sees a new thing on the shelf. It is a shiny red car with big wheels and a loud horn. Tom wants to play with it very much. He thinks it is a good thing. He climbs on a chair and tries to reach the car. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Lily asks. She sees Tom on the chair and feels scared. She knows that the car is not their thing. It is Dad's thing. Dad got it as a gift and he told them not to touch it. + +"I want to play with the car," Tom says. He does not listen to Lily. He stretches his arm and grabs the car. He removes it from the shelf and holds it in his hand. He feels happy. + +But then, the chair wobbles and Tom loses his balance. He falls down and drops the car. The car hits the floor and breaks into pieces. Tom cries and Lily gasps. They hear Dad coming. + +"What happened here?" Dad asks. He sees Tom on the floor, Lily on the couch and the broken car. He feels angry and sad. He loves his car and he told them not to touch it. + +"Tom took the car and he broke it," Lily says. She tells the truth. She is sorry for Dad and for Tom. + +"Tom, why did you do that?" Dad asks. He looks at Tom and waits for an answer. + +Tom feels sorry too. He knows he did a bad thing. He did not listen to Lily and he did not obey Dad. He looks at Dad and says, "I'm sorry, Dad. I wanted to play with the car. I thought it was a good thing. But it was not. It was your thing. I'm sorry I removed it and I broke it." + +Dad sighs and hugs Tom. He is still angry and sad, but he loves Tom. He says, "I'm sorry too, Tom. I know you like cars and you wanted to have fun. But you have to ask before you take something that is not yours. And you have to be careful with things that are fragile. The car was a special thing for me. It was a gift from your grandpa. He gave it to me when I was a little boy like you. Now it is gone." + +Tom feels worse. He did not know the car was from grandpa. He loves grandpa and he misses him. He says, "I'm sorry, Dad. I did not know the car was from grandpa. I love grandpa and I miss him. Can we fix the car?" + +Dad shakes his head and says, "No, Tom. The car is too broken to fix. We have to throw it away. But we can keep the memory of grandpa in our hearts. And we can find other ways to play with cars. You have many cars of your own. And maybe we can make a new car with some blocks and some stickers. What do you think?" + +Tom nods and says, "OK, Dad. I'm sorry again. I love you and I love grandpa. Can we make a new car now?" + +Dad smiles and says, "Yes, Tom. We can make a new car now. And Lily, do you want to join us?" + +Lily smiles and says, "Yes, Dad. I want to join you. I love you and I love Tom and I love grandpa. And I love cars too." + +Dad, Tom and Lily hug and go to the table. They take some blocks and some stickers and start to make a new car. They have fun together and they remember grandpa. They are a happy family. +Lily and Tom were playing with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were bad and had to go to jail. Jail was a place where bad people stayed and could not go out. Lily had a big box that she used as jail. She put her doll inside and closed the lid. + +"Ha ha, you are in jail now, bad doll!" Lily said. "You cannot come out until you change and be good." + +Tom wanted to play too. He had a small doll that he liked very much. He did not want his doll to go to jail. He said to Lily, "Can I play with your doll? She looks nice and comfortable. My doll is cold and sad." + +Lily did not want to share her doll. She said, "No, you cannot play with my doll. She is mine. You have to put your doll in jail too. She is bad like your doll." + +Tom did not like that. He felt sorry for his doll. He said, "No, my doll is not bad. She is good and sweet. She does not deserve to go to jail. You are mean, Lily. You do not share." + +Lily and Tom started to argue. They raised their voices and pulled their dolls. They did not listen to each other. They did not have fun. + +Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over their dolls and the box. She said, "Stop, Lily and Tom. What are you doing? Why are you not playing nicely?" + +Lily and Tom told Mom what they were playing and why they were angry. Mom said, "That is not a nice game. You should not pretend that your dolls are bad and put them in jail. That is not how you treat your toys or your friends. You should be kind and share. How would you feel if someone put you in jail and did not let you out?" + +Lily and Tom thought about it. They did not like the idea of being in jail. They said, "We would feel scared and lonely and sad." + +Mom said, "That is how your dolls feel too. They need your love and care. They want to play with you and each other. They do not want to be in jail. You should change your game and make it more fun and friendly. How about you pretend that your dolls are having a tea party or going to the park or singing songs?" + +Lily and Tom liked that idea. They said, "Yes, that sounds like a fun game. We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, dolls. We will change and be nice." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That is good, Lily and Tom. I am proud of you. You are good and sweet. You can play with your dolls now. But remember to share and be kind." + +Lily and Tom nodded and said, "We will, Mom. Thank you." + +They took their dolls out of the box and gave them a kiss. They said, "We love you, dolls. You are not bad. You are good and comfortable. You do not have to go to jail. You can play with us and have fun." + +They set up a tea party for their dolls and invited Mom to join. They had a lot of fun and played nicely. They did not fight or argue anymore. They were happy. +Mia liked to sign with her hands. She learned how to sign from her mom, who was deaf. Mia could say hello, thank you, and many other things with her hands. She liked to sign with her mom and her friends at school. + +One day, Mia went to the cafeteria for lunch. She saw that they had cauliflower on the menu. Mia did not like cauliflower. She thought it was disgusting. It looked like white flowers, but it tasted bad. She did not want to eat it. + +She signed to her mom, who was working in the cafeteria, that she did not want cauliflower. She wanted something else. Her mom smiled and signed back that she had a surprise for her. She gave Mia a plate with a sandwich, a banana, and a cookie. Mia was happy. She thanked her mom with a big hug and a sign. She ate her lunch and shared her cookie with her friend, who also liked to sign. They both agreed that cauliflower was disgusting, and that their moms were the best. +Lila was a young girl who liked to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped to the park, she skipped to her friends' houses. She was happy and free when she skipped. + +One day, she saw a big hole in the ground.

She did not think of the danger. + +She skipped into the hole and fell down. She hurt herself and cried. She was scared and alone. She could not see anything or hear anyone. She wanted to go back, but she did not know how. She was stuck in the underground place. + +No one knew where she was. No one came to help her. She was sad and hungry and cold.

They eat more and more blue berries. They are happy. + +But then, they hear a loud roar. They look up and see a big bear. The bear is brown and has big claws. The bear is angry. It wants the blue berries. It chases Lila and Tom. + +They hurry to run away. They drop the blue berries. They scream for help. They are very scared of the bear. +Anna likes to mail letters to her friends. She draws pictures of flowers and animals and writes their names. She puts the letters in envelopes and sticks stamps on them. Then she asks her mom to take her to the mail box. + +One day, Anna sees a hunter near the mail box. He has a big gun and a hat with feathers. He looks angry and scary. Anna is afraid of the hunter. She hides behind her mom and holds her hand. + +The hunter sees Anna and her mom.

The bird was very brave and had many adventures. + +"I want to soar like the bird," Tim said. "It looks so fun and cool." + +"Me too," Lily said. "But how can we soar? We don't have wings." + +Tim had an idea. He saw a big red balloon in the corner of the room. He ran to get it and tied a string around it. He gave the other end of the string to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, we can soar with this balloon. It is full of air and it can lift us up. You hold the string and I will jump on the balloon. Then we will soar together." + +Lily was not sure. She thought it was dangerous. But she wanted to be helpful and make Tim happy. She held the string and nodded. + +"OK, Tim, let's try it. But be careful." + +Tim smiled and jumped on the balloon. The balloon was very strong and it lifted Tim up in the air. Tim felt like he was soaring like the bird. He laughed and shouted. + +"Wow, Lily, this is amazing. I am soaring. I am soaring." + +Lily was scared. She saw Tim go higher and higher. She tried to pull the string and bring him down. But the string was too thin and it broke. Lily gasped and dropped the string. + +"Tim, Tim, come back. The string broke. You are too high. You will fall." + +Tim heard Lily's voice. He looked down and saw her crying. He felt a gust of wind and the balloon popped. Tim screamed and fell. He hit the ground and did not move. Lily ran to him and hugged him.

You can separate for a while and then come back together. You are both independent and smart. You can make new friends and have fun!" + +Sam and Lila nod. They hug each other and say, "I love you!" Then they go to do what they like. Sam joins the sport. He kicks the ball and scores. He cheers and high-fives the other kids. Lila goes to the table. She draws a picture of her and Sam. She uses many colors and shapes. She is proud of her art. + +After a while, they come back together. They show each other what they did. They are happy and proud. They say, "Wow, you did great!" They share their stories and laugh. They hug their mom and say, "Thank you for letting us do what we like!" Their mom says, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you had fun. You are both wonderful and special. And you are always together in my heart!" +Lila was a very intelligent daughter. She liked to learn new things and ask many questions. She loved to read books and play with puzzles. She also loved to help her mom and dad with chores and errands. + +One day, Lila went with her mom to the store. They needed to buy some food and some clothes. Lila helped her mom to find the things they needed and to put them in the cart. She also helped her mom to pay at the counter and to carry the bags. + +On their way back home, Lila saw a big red balloon at a stand. She wanted to buy it, but her mom said they had no more money. Lila was sad, but she understood. She said, "Maybe next time, mom." + +When they got home, Lila helped her mom to put away the food and the clothes. She also helped her mom to make some sandwiches for lunch. She was a very good daughter. + +After lunch, Lila's dad came home from work. He had a big smile on his face and a surprise for Lila. He gave her a big hug and said, "Look what I have for you, my intelligent daughter." He showed her a big red balloon, just like the one she saw at the stand. Lila was so happy, she jumped and clapped. She said, "Thank you, dad. You are the best dad ever." + +Lila's mom and dad hugged her and said, "We are so proud of you, Lila. You are a very intelligent and helpful daughter. We love you very much." + +Lila smiled and said, "I love you too, mom and dad. And I love my big red balloon." She played with her balloon for the rest of the day, and she returned it to her room before bedtime. She had a very good day. +Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They saw a big bush with red berries. Mia wanted to pick some berries and eat them. Leo was not sure. + +"Are they good berries?" he asked Mia. + +Mia shrugged. She did not know. She picked one berry and put it in her mouth. It was sweet and juicy. She smiled and picked more berries. + +"Try one, Leo. They are yummy!" she said. + +Leo was curious. He picked one berry and ate it. He liked it too. He picked more berries and ate them with Mia. They ate and ate until their tummies were full. + +But then they started to feel funny. Their heads were spinning and their eyes were blurry. They felt dizzy and sick. + +"Uh-oh, Mia. I think these are bad berries. They make us feel icky!" Leo said. + +Mia nodded. She felt icky too. She wished they did not eat so many berries. + +They ran to the house and told their mom what happened. Their mom was worried. She gave them some water and some bread. She called the doctor and asked what to do. + +The doctor said the berries were not poisonous, but they had too much sugar. He said they would feel better soon, but they should not eat any more berries. + +Mia and Leo learned their lesson. They said sorry to their mom and thanked the doctor. They promised to be more careful next time. They hugged each other and went to bed. They hoped to feel better in the morning. +Lily and Ben like to play pretend. They have a fake kitchen with fake food and fake dishes. They make fake soup and fake cake and fake tea. They have fun with their fake kitchen. + +One day, Lily and Ben find a bottle in the closet. It has a skull and crossbones on it. Lily thinks it is fake poison. She wants to use it for their pretend game. She says, "Let's put some poison in the soup and see what happens!" + +Ben is not sure. He thinks the bottle might be real poison. He says, "No, Lily, that is not a good idea. That might be bad for us. Let's put it back in the closet." + +But Lily does not listen. She takes the bottle and pours some poison in the soup. She says, "There, now the soup is ready. Let's eat!" + +Ben is scared. He does not want to eat the soup. He says, "No, Lily, don't eat the soup. It has poison in it. It will make you sick. Spit it out!" + +Lily takes a sip of the soup. She makes a face. She says, "Yuck, this soup is gross. It tastes bad. It burns my mouth." She spits out the soup. She feels sick. She says, "Ben, I don't feel good. I think the poison is real. Help me!" + +Ben is worried. He says, "Lily, I'm sorry. I told you not to use the poison. We need to tell Mommy. She will know what to do. Come on, let's go." He takes Lily by the hand and runs to find Mommy. + +He sees Mommy in the living room. He says, "Mommy, Mommy, Lily drank poison. She is sick. Please help her!" + +Mommy is shocked. She says, "What? Poison? Where did you get poison?" She sees the bottle in Lily's hand. She says, "Oh no, this is not fake poison. This is real poison. This is for cleaning the toilet. How did you get this?" + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mommy. We were playing pretend. We thought it was fake poison. We didn't know it was real poison. We are sorry." + +Mommy is angry. She says, "You should never play with things you don't know. You could have hurt yourself. You could have died. You are very lucky. This poison is not very strong. It will not kill you. But it will make you sick. You need to drink lots of water and wipe your mouth. And you need to stay in bed and rest. And you need to promise me you will never do this again." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We promise, Mommy. We will never do this again. We are sorry, Mommy. We love you, Mommy." + +Mommy hugs them. She says, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. But you need to be more careful. And you need to listen to me. And you need to listen to each other. And you need to play safe. OK?" + +Lily and Ben say, "OK, Mommy. We will play safe. We will listen to you. We will listen to each other. We are sorry, Mommy." + +Mommy says, "It's OK, Lily and Ben. I forgive you. But don't forget your promise. And don't forget to drink water and wipe your mouth. And don't forget to rest. And don't forget to be good. OK?" + +Lily and Ben say, "OK, Mommy. We will do all that. Thank you, Mommy." + +Mommy says, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. I love you, Lily and Ben." + +Lily and Ben say, "We love you, Mommy." + +The end. +Ben likes to play the drum. He is a musician. He makes loud sounds with his drum and sticks. He likes to play with his friends who play other things. They make music together. + +One day, Ben and his friends go to the park. They see a big stage. There are many people there. They want to play music on the stage. But they are too small. The stage is too high. They cannot climb up. + +Ben has an idea. He sees a big box. He says to his friends, "Let's use the box. We can put it near the stage. We can stand on the box. Then we can play music on the stage." + +His friends like the idea. They push the box to the stage. It is very heavy. They push hard. They are slow. But they do not give up. They support each other. They say, "We can do it. We are musicians." + +They reach the stage. They stand on the box. They play music on the stage. They are happy. The people clap for them. They say, "You are good musicians. You are brave. You support each other." Ben and his friends smile. They are proud. They love music. +Ben hated oat. He did not like how it looked or how it tasted. He did not want to eat it for breakfast. He wanted to eat cake or candy or ice cream. But his mom said he had to eat oat or he would not grow big and strong. + +One morning, Ben had a plan. He saw his dog, Spot, under the table. He thought he could give his oat to Spot and then he could have something else. He put some oat on his spoon and dropped it on the floor. Spot ate it quickly and wagged his tail. Ben smiled and did it again. + +But his mom saw what he was doing. She was very angry. She said, "Ben, you are a bad boy! You are wasting your food and making a mess. You are not being fair to Spot. Oat is not good for dogs. It can make them sick. You have to eat your oat or you will have no dessert." + +Ben felt very sad and troubled. He did not want to make his mom angry or his dog sick. He did not want to have no dessert. He did not know what to do. He looked at his bowl of oat and wished it would go away. He wished he could have something else. He wished he could like oat. But he still hated it. +One day, a little bird was flying in the sky. He saw a group of big birds on a tree. He wanted to join them and make friends. He flew to the tree and said hello. + +But the big birds did not like the little bird. They said he was too small and weak. They laughed at him and told him to go away. The little bird felt sad and hurt. He flew away from the tree. + +He flew over a wide river. He saw a fish jumping out of the water. He wanted to catch the fish and eat it. He flew down to the river and opened his beak. + +But the fish was too fast and smart. He saw the little bird and splashed water in his face. The little bird was wet and cold. He flew away from the river. + +He flew over a field. He heard a mouse squeaking in the grass. He wanted to play with the mouse and have fun. He flew to the grass and said hello. + +But the mouse did not like the little bird. He said he was too noisy and scary. He ran away from him and hid in a hole. The little bird felt lonely and bored. He flew away from the grass. + +He flew back to his nest. He saw his mother and father waiting for him. They hugged him and kissed him. They said they loved him and were proud of him. The little bird felt happy and warm. He stayed with them and sang a song. + +The moral of the story is: You don't need to look for friends who don't like you. You already have friends who love you. Be yourself and be happy. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink dress. Anna liked to brush Lily's hair and make her talk. + +One day, Anna's mom said, "Anna, we have to go to a meeting. It is very important. You can bring Lily, but you have to be quiet and sit still." + +Anna nodded. She put Lily in her backpack and got ready. She was curious about the meeting. She hoped it would be fun. + +They went to a big building with many people. Anna's mom took her to a room with a big table and chairs. There were other people sitting around the table.

You can sit here and play with Lily, but please don't make noise or interrupt." + +Anna said, "Okay, mom." She took Lily out of her backpack and put her on her lap. She whispered to Lily, "This is a meeting. It is rare. We don't go to meetings often. We have to be good and quiet." + +Anna tried to listen to the meeting, but she didn't understand the words. They sounded boring and hard. She looked at Lily and smiled. She said, "Lily, do you want to play a game? We can pretend we are in a meeting too. But our meeting is fun and easy. We can talk about dolls and flowers and candy." + +Lily nodded. Anna said, "Okay, let's start. Lily, you are the boss. You can tell me what to do. I am your helper.

We can share and learn from each other. That is what friends do. You are very smart and kind, Lily. I am happy to have you as my friend." + +Lily said, "You are very smart and kind too, Anna. I am happy to have you as my friend too. You make me happy." + +Anna and Lily hugged and smiled. They were having a great meeting. They didn't notice that the other meeting was over. Anna's mom came to them and said, "Anna, it's time to go. The meeting is done. Did you have fun with Lily?" + +Anna said, "Yes, mom. We had fun. We had our own meeting. We talked about dolls and flowers and candy. We are best friends." + +Anna's mom smiled. She said, "That sounds like a wonderful meeting. I'm glad you and Lily are best friends. You are very sweet and creative, Anna. I'm proud of you." + +Anna said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +Anna's mom said, "I love you too, Anna.

He wishes he never met Sam. +Tim and Mia like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big tree with many leaves. They want to climb the tree. + +They hold the trunk and step on the branches. They go up and up. They see more leaves and birds and sky. They feel happy and brave. + +But then the wind starts to blow. The tree moves and shakes. The leaves fall and fly. Tim and Mia feel scared and cold.

I didn't know it would burn me." + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "I know, Lily. You are curious and want to learn. But you have to be safe and smart. Some things are not for touching. They are only for looking. Next time, ask Mommy before you touch something new. OK?" + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, Mommy. I love you." + +Mommy said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's put some cream on your finger and read a story. How about that?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Mommy." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room.

They say they will talk to them later. + +Anna and Ben are sorry. They did not mean to make Mom and Dad angry and sad. They did not know the things were important and special. They hug each other and cry. They wish they were not nosy. They wish they did not unlock the drawer. They wish they played with their own toys and books and games. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they are in the park. They have a big box of crayons. They want to draw on the paper. + +"Look, Anna, I have a red crayon.

She reached for it and took a sip. But it was not milk. It was something bitter and sour and fizzy. Lily did not like it at all. She made a face and spit it out. + +"Yuck!" she said. "What is this?" + +"That's daddy's soda," her mom said. "You can't drink that. It's not good for you. It's only for grown-ups." + +Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to drink daddy's soda. She looked at her mom with her big brown eyes. She hoped her mom was not mad. + +"I'm sorry, mommy," she said. "I thought it was milk." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She was not mad. She knew Lily was curious and made a mistake. + +"It's okay, sweetie," she said. "You can have some milk if you want. But next time, ask me first before you drink from a new cup. Okay?" + +Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She drank some milk from her own cup and felt better. She liked milk much more than soda. She gave her mom a kiss and said, "I love you, mommy." + +"I love you too, Lily," her mom said. +Tim and Sue were twins who liked to play on the porch. The porch had a swing, a table, and some toys. They enjoyed swinging, drawing, and making noise. They felt comfortable on the porch, even when it was hot or cold. + +One day, a big dog came to the porch. The dog was black and hairy, and had sharp teeth. It barked and growled at Tim and Sue. They were scared and ran to the door. But the door was locked. Mom and Dad were inside, but they did not hear them. + +"Help, help!" Tim and Sue cried. "There is a bad dog on the porch!" + +The dog jumped on the swing and broke it.

Lily and Tom liked sausage. They took turns to stir the pot with a big spoon. + +But Tom was not honest. He wanted to eat a sausage before dinner. He waited for Mom to go to the phone. Then he put his hand in the pot and grabbed a sausage. It was very hot. He burned his hand and dropped the sausage on the floor. He cried out loud. + +Mom came back and saw what happened. She was not happy. She said, "Tom, you were not honest. You should not take food from the pot. You could hurt yourself and make a mess. Now we have one less sausage for dinner. And you have to wash your hand and say sorry." + +Lily was honest. She did not take any sausage. She stirred the pot and waited for dinner. She said, "Mom, I am sorry Tom was not honest. I did not take any sausage. Can I have his sausage for dinner?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Lily, you were honest. You did not take any sausage. You helped me stir the pot and waited for dinner. You can have Tom's sausage for dinner. And Tom can have some bread and cheese. Maybe next time he will be honest too." +Lily had to go to the hospital with her mom. She hurt her arm when she fell from the swing. She was nervous and scared. She did not like the big machines and the white coats. + +"Mom, what are they going to do?" she asked. + +"They are going to take a picture of your arm with an x-ray. It will not hurt, I promise. It will help them see if your bone is broken or not," her mom said. + +Lily nodded, but she still felt nervous. She held her mom's hand as they walked to the x-ray room. There was a nice lady who smiled at her and gave her a sticker. + +"Hello, Lily. I'm Anna. I'm going to take your x-ray. You have to sit still on this table and put your arm on this board. I will go behind that window and press a button. You will hear a beep, but don't be afraid. It will be over soon," Anna said. + +Lily did as she was told. She saw Anna wave at her from the window. She waved back. She heard the beep and closed her eyes. She hoped her arm was not broken. + +"Good job, Lily. You did great. Let me see your x-ray," Anna said. She came back with a big picture of Lily's arm. She showed it to Lily and her mom. + +"Look, Lily. This is your arm. See, your bone is not broken. It is just a little bruised. You will be fine. You just need some ice and a bandage," Anna said. + +Lily felt relieved and happy. She smiled and thanked Anna. She hugged her mom. + +"Mom, can we go home now?" she asked. + +"Yes, we can. You were very brave, Lily. I'm proud of you," her mom said. + +They left the hospital and went home. Lily felt better. She showed her x-ray to her dad and her brother. They said she was cool. She agreed. +Tom and Mia liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and shapes. They pretended to drive them on the road, in the park, and in the garage. Sometimes, they made noises like vroom, beep, and honk. + +One day, they saw a real car on the street. It was enormous, much bigger than their toy cars. It was red and shiny, and it had four big wheels. Tom and Mia ran to the car and touched it. They wanted to see inside, but the door was locked. + +"Who owns this car?" Tom asked. + +A man came out of a nearby shop. He wore a blue suit and a hat. He had a tool box in his hand. He was a mechanic. He fixed cars when they were broken. + +"This is my car," he said. "Do you like it?" + +Tom and Mia nodded. They thought the car was very cool. + +"Can we see inside?" Mia asked. + +The mechanic smiled. He opened the door and let them sit in the front seat. They saw many buttons, dials, and levers. They saw a steering wheel, a gas pedal, and a brake pedal. They saw a radio, a mirror, and a seat belt. + +"This is how you drive a car," the mechanic said. He showed them how to turn the key, start the engine, and change the gears. He showed them how to use the horn, the lights, and the wipers. He showed them how to play music, adjust the mirror, and buckle the seat belt. + +Tom and Mia were amazed. They realized that driving a car was very different from playing with toy cars. They thanked the mechanic for letting them see his car. They said goodbye and ran back to their toys. + +They decided to play a new game. They pretended to be mechanics. They used their tools to fix their toy cars. They made noises like clank, bang, and hiss. They had a lot of fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park near their home. One day, they see a big bus with many people inside. The bus is going to the city. Anna and Ben want to see the city too. + +"Can we go on the bus, please?" Anna asks her mom. + +"No, sweetie, the bus is not for us. We have to stay here," her mom says. + +"But why?" Ben asks his dad. + +"Because the city is far away and we have things to do here," his dad says. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They want to see the big buildings and the bright lights and the busy streets. They think the city is fun and exciting. + +They see the bus driver get out of the bus. He is wearing a blue hat and a blue shirt. He looks nice and friendly. + +"Hello, kids, do you want to see the city?" he asks them. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Anna and Ben say. + +"OK, then, come with me. I will show you the city. It is very beautiful and amazing. You will love it," he says. + +He takes their hands and leads them to the bus. Anna and Ben are happy. They think the bus driver is kind and dependable. They do not tell their mom and dad. They think it is a surprise. + +They get on the bus and sit on the front seats. They see the park and their home get smaller and smaller as the bus moves. They see new things and new places. They see cars and trucks and bikes and people. They see bridges and rivers and trees and flowers. They see shops and signs and colors and shapes. They see the city. + +The city is big and loud and busy. Anna and Ben are amazed. They want to see more and more. They ask the bus driver many questions. He answers them and smiles. + +They do not see their mom and dad. They do not see their mom and dad run after the bus. They do not see their mom and dad shout and wave and cry. They do not see their mom and dad call the police. They do not see their mom and dad worry and panic. + +They do not know they are in trouble. They do not know they are lost. They do not know they are embarrass. They do not know they are wrong. They only know they are in the city. +Tom and Lily were in the car with Mom and Dad. They were going to the park to play. Tom and Lily liked the park. They liked the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. + +On the way, they saw a big billboard. It had a picture of a cake and some words. Tom and Lily could not read the words, but they liked the cake. It looked yummy and sweet. + +"Mom, can we have cake?" Tom asked. + +"Sorry, Tom, we don't have cake at home," Mom said. + +"Can we buy cake?" Lily asked. + +"Sorry, Lily, we don't have money for cake," Dad said. + +"Why not?" Tom and Lily asked. + +"Because the price of cake has increased," Mom said. "That means it costs more now." + +Tom and Lily did not understand. They felt sad and angry. They wanted cake. + +When they got to the park, they did not want to play. They sat on a bench and pouted. They did not look at the swings, the slide, or the sandbox. + +Mom and Dad felt sorry for them. They wanted to cheer them up. They had an idea. + +They went to the car and got some paper, crayons, and tape. They came back to the bench and gave them to Tom and Lily. + +"What are these for?" Tom asked. + +"We are going to make our own billboard," Dad said. "We can draw whatever we want on it." + +Tom and Lily liked the idea. They took the paper and crayons and started to draw. They drew a big cake with candles and sprinkles. They wrote "Happy Birthday" on it. They did not care if it was not their birthday. They just wanted cake. + +They taped the paper to the back of the bench. They stood back and looked at it. They smiled. It was their billboard.

Give it back!" + +The boy did not stop. He ran faster and faster. He thought he was smart and strong. But he did not know that Lily's sack was very heavy. It had a lot of toys inside. It was hard to carry. + +Soon, the boy got tired and his arms hurt. He could not run anymore. He dropped the sack and fell on the ground. He was out of breath and he felt silly. + +Lily caught up with him and picked up her sack. She was happy and proud. She had her sack back. She said to the boy, "That's not nice. You should not take things that are not yours. You should say sorry." + +The boy felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I won't do it again." + +Lily forgave him and smiled. She said, "It's okay. Do you want to play with me? I have a lot of toys. We can share." + +The boy nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, please. That would be nice. Thank you." + +They became friends and played together. They had fun with Lily's sack. They learned to be kind and fair. They were happy. +Tom and Sue were very happy. They were going to see the parade with Mom and Dad. They put on their hats and coats and walked to the big street. They saw many people and cars and flags and balloons. + +"Look, Tom, there is a big truck with a band!" Sue said. "They are playing music!" + +"I like the music, Sue," Tom said. "And look, there is a clown with a funny nose and shoes!" + +The clown saw Tom and Sue and waved at them. He threw some candy and confetti in the air. Tom and Sue laughed and clapped. They caught some candy and confetti and ate them. + +"Yum, this is good!" Tom said. + +"Me too!" Sue said. + +But then, a big dog ran by and bumped into Tom. Tom fell down and got dirty. His hat and coat and candy and confetti were all dirty too. + +"Oh no, Tom, are you okay?" Sue asked. + +Tom was sad and cried. He did not like being dirty. Mom and Dad came and helped him up. They hugged him and wiped his face and hands. + +"It's okay, Tom, don't cry," Mom said. "You can still enjoy the parade. We have more candy and confetti for you." + +"And we can wash your hat and coat later," Dad said. "You are still a brave boy." + +Tom felt better and smiled. He thanked Mom and Dad and Sue. He still liked the parade. He spent a fun day with his family. He did not mind being dirty anymore. He was happy. +Sam likes to sort his toys. He has many toys of different colors and shapes. He puts the red toys in one box, the blue toys in another box, and the yellow toys in a third box. He feels happy when he sees his toys are sorted. + +One day, it rains a lot.

One day, she saw a shiny acorn on the ground. She ran to get it, but she did not notice the big dog that was sleeping nearby. + +The dog woke up and saw Lily. He barked loudly and chased her. Lily was very frightened. She dropped the shiny acorn and ran as fast as she could. She climbed up a tree and hid in her nest. She hoped the dog would go away. + +The dog did not go away. He sniffed around the tree and found the shiny acorn. He picked it up with his mouth and bit it. He made a face and spat it out. The acorn was bad. It was old and rotten. It tasted yucky. The dog did not like it. He decided to leave and look for something else to eat. + +Lily peeked out of her nest and saw the dog leaving. She was relieved. She was also curious. She wanted to see the shiny acorn. She climbed down the tree and found it on the ground. She picked it up and looked at it. It was brown and soft and had holes in it. It smelled bad. It was not a good acorn. It was a rotten acorn. + +Lily realized that she had made a mistake. She had left her good acorns for a rotten one. She felt silly and sad. She wished she had not been greedy. She learned a lesson. She decided to be happy with what she had and not to chase shiny things that might be rotten.

Sara thought it was very pretty. She showed it to her mom. + +"Wow, Sara, you found a medal!" her mom said. "Do you know what it is?" + +Sara shook her head. + +"It's a medal for a hero. Someone who did something very brave and good. Maybe they helped someone who was hurt, or saved someone from danger, or fought for their country. They got this medal to say thank you and well done." + +Sara's eyes grew wide. She felt proud to hold the medal. She wondered who the hero was, and what they did. She wanted to be like them. + +"Can I keep it, mom?" she asked. + +Her mom smiled. "I think you can, Sara. But maybe we should also try to find out who it belongs to. Maybe they lost it by mistake, and they miss it very much. Maybe they would be happy to see you, and tell you their story. What do you think?" + +Sara thought for a moment. She liked the medal, but she also wanted to be kind and fair. She nodded. + +"OK, mom. Let's find the hero." +Mark likes to ride his bike. He rides fast and far.

He laughs at her. + +Lily gets angry. She runs faster and faster. She catches up with Tom and kicks the ball away from him. The ball flies high in the air and lands in a tree. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Tom says. He is very mad. + +Lily smiles. She feels proud. She has more speed than Tom. + +"Maybe you should share the ball, Tom," Lily says. "Then we can both have fun." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He sees the ball stuck in the tree. He does not know how to get it down. He feels sorry. + +"OK, Lily, you are right," Tom says. "I was too bossy. Can you help me get the ball?" + +Lily nods. She is happy. She likes to help. She finds a stick and throws it at the ball. The ball falls down and rolls to Tom. + +"Thank you, Lily," Tom says. He picks up the ball and gives it to Lily. + +"You're welcome, Tom," Lily says. She takes the ball and kicks it to Tom. + +They smile at each other and start to play again. They share the ball and have fun. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play games. One day, they decided to play a guessing game with their toys. Lily picked a toy and hid it behind her back. She said to Ben, "Guess what toy I have. It is yellow and long and you can eat it." + +Ben thought hard. He said, "Is it a banana?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you are right! How did you know?" + +Ben said, "Because I saw you take it from the kitchen. You are cheating!" + +Lily said, "No, I am not cheating. I just like bananas. They are yummy and healthy." + +Ben said, "But that is not fair. You have to pick a toy, not a food. And you have to give me a clue, not tell me the answer." + +Lily said, "Fine, fine. I will pick another toy. But you have to be nice and not peek." + +Ben said, "OK, OK. I will be nice and not peek. But you have to pick a hard toy, not an easy one." + +Lily nodded and looked around. She saw a toy car that was red and shiny. She grabbed it and hid it behind her back. She said to Ben, "Guess what toy I have. It is red and shiny and it can go fast." + +Ben thought hard. He said, "Is it a fire truck?" + +Lily said, "No, it is not a fire truck. Try again." + +Ben said, "Is it a race car?" + +Lily said, "Yes, you are right! How did you know?" + +Ben said, "Because I saw you take it from my room. You are cheating again!" + +Lily said, "No, I am not cheating again. I just like race cars. They are cool and fun." + +Ben said, "But that is not fair. You have to pick a toy from your own room, not mine. And you have to give me a different clue, not the same one." + +Lily said, "Fine, fine. I will pick another toy. But you have to be quiet and not shout." + +Ben said, "OK, OK. I will be quiet and not shout. But you have to pick a new toy, not an old one." + +Lily nodded and looked around. She saw a toy doll that was pink and pretty. She grabbed it and hid it behind her back. She said to Ben, "Guess what toy I have. It is pink and pretty and it is famous." + +Ben thought hard. He said, "Is it a princess?" + +Lily said, "No, it is not a princess. Try again." + +Ben said, "Is it a fairy?" + +Lily said, "No, it is not a fairy. Try again." + +Ben said, "Is it a Barbie?" + +Lily said, "Yes, you are right! How did you know?" + +Ben said, "Because I saw you take it from the store. You are cheating for the third time!" + +Lily said, "No, I am not cheating for the third time. I just like Barbie. She is pretty and famous." + +Ben said, "But that is not fair. You have to pick a toy that you own, not that you want. And you have to give me a clue that is not obvious, not that is easy." + +Lily said, "Fine, fine. I will pick another toy. But you have to be happy and not angry." + +Ben said, "OK, OK. I will be happy and not angry. But you have to pick a toy that is fun, not boring." + +Lily nodded and looked around. She saw a toy that was perfect for the game. She grabbed it and hid it behind her back. She said to Ben, "Guess what toy I have. It is green and soft and it can make noise." + +Ben thought hard. He said, "Is it a frog?" + +Lily said, "No, it is not a frog. Try again." + +Ben said, "Is it a snake?" + +Lily said, "No, it is not a snake. Try again." + +Ben said, "Is it a dinosaur?" + +Lily said, "No, it is not a dinosaur. Try again." + +Ben said, "I give up. What is it?" + +Lily said, "It is a toy that we both love. It is a toy that we can share. It is a toy that we can hug. It is a toy that can say 'I love you'." + +Ben said, "Is it our teddy bear?" + +Lily said, "Yes, it is our teddy bear! You are right!" + +Ben said, "Yay! I love our teddy bear! Can I hug it too?" + +Lily said, "Of course you can! Here, you can have +Lila and Sam went on a big trip with their mom and dad. They flew on a big bird in the sky. It was loud and fast. They saw many things out the window. They saw clouds, water, and land. + +They landed in a new place. It was hot and sunny. They got in a car and drove to a house. It was not their house. It was a house for people who go on trips. They had a room with beds and a bathroom. Mom and dad said they had to unpack. Unpack means to take things out of the bags. Lila and Sam helped mom and dad unpack. They put their clothes in a closet and their toys on a shelf.

There were many kids there, running and laughing and playing. Lily felt scared and hid behind her mom. She saw a big slide that looked fun, but she did not dare to go on it. She saw a boy who was bigger than her, who was pushing and shouting and taking turns from other kids. He looked mean and scary. + +Lily's mom said, "Why don't you try the slide, Lily? It looks like fun. I'll be right here, watching you." Lily shook her head and clutched Bobo. She did not want to leave her mom or Bobo. She did not want to meet the mean boy. + +But then, something happened. The mean boy saw Bobo and ran towards Lily. He grabbed Bobo from her arms and said, "Give me that! That's a baby toy! You're a baby!" He laughed and ran away with Bobo. Lily felt sad and angry and scared. She wanted Bobo back. She cried and ran after the boy. + +The boy ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He held Bobo in one hand and waved him in the air. He said, "Look at me! I have a baby toy! I'm the king of the slide!" He laughed and laughed. But he did not see that the slide was too small for him. He was too big and too heavy. He tried to slide down, but he got stuck. He could not move. He started to cry and scream. He dropped Bobo. + +Lily saw Bobo falling. She ran to the slide and caught him. She hugged him and said, "Bobo, I'm so glad you're okay. I love you." She looked at the boy who was stuck on the slide. He looked scared and sorry. She felt sorry for him too. She said, "Do you want some help?" The boy nodded and said, "Yes, please. I'm sorry I took your toy. I was mean. Can you forgive me?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I can. But you have to be nice to other kids. And you have to share." She helped the boy get out of the slide. He said, "Thank you. You're very kind. Can we be friends?" Lily smiled and said, "Yes, we can. Do you want to play with Bobo?" The boy smiled and said, "Yes, I do. He's a cool toy. Can I hold him?" Lily said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be gentle." She gave him Bobo and they played together. Lily's mom saw them and smiled. She was proud of Lily. She said, "Lily, you're very brave and smart and nice. I love you." Lily said, "I love you too, mom. And I love Bobo. And I like my new friend." She was happy. She was not shy anymore. +Tom and Amy were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. But there was a mean boy who was blocking the way. He said, "This is my slide. You can't go on it. If you try, I will push you and make you cry." + +Tom and Amy were scared of the mean boy. They did not want to be pushed or cry. They looked at each other and wondered what to do. Amy had an idea. She whispered to Tom, "Let's dare him to go on the slide first. Maybe he is afraid of it and will go away." + +Tom liked Amy's idea. He said to the mean boy, "We don't want your slide. We think it is too easy for us. We dare you to go on it first and show us how brave you are." + +The mean boy was surprised by Tom's words. He felt a threat in his chest. He did not want to look weak or scared in front of Tom and Amy. But he also did not like the slide. It was too high and fast for him. He felt guilty for being mean to them. He wished he had been nice and shared the slide. + +He did not know what to say. He looked at the slide and then at Tom and Amy. He saw that they were waiting for him to answer. He felt more and more afraid. He decided to run away. He said, "Fine, I don't care about your dare. I have better things to do. You can have the slide. But don't tell anyone I was here." + +He ran away as fast as he could. Tom and Amy watched him go. They felt happy and proud. They had dared the mean boy and made him leave.

He had many novels in his room. He read them every day. He did not like to play with other kids. He thought they were noisy and silly. + +One day, his mom told him to go outside and join the kids in the park. She said it was good to make friends and have fun. Ben did not want to go. He wanted to read his new novel. He had a hidden place under his bed where he kept his novels. He took his new novel and went under his bed. + +He started to read his novel.

They were everywhere. He was trapped under his bed. + +He cried and cried. He wished he had joined the kids in the park. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had not been so selfish and rude. + +He learned a lesson. He learned that novels are good, but not everything. He learned that friends are important, too. He learned that he should not hide from the world. He learned that he should join and share and care. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park.

Lily and Ben laugh. + +"That is a cool toy, Lily," Ben says. "Can I play with it?" + +Lily shakes her head. "No, Ben, no. This is my toy. You can not play with it. It is mine. You have your own toys. Go play with them." + +Ben feels sad. He thinks Lily is not nice. He wants to play with the clever car. He thinks it is not fair. He waits for Lily to look away. Then he grabs the car and runs. + +"Hey, Ben, hey!" Lily shouts. "Give me back my toy. That is not your toy. That is my toy. Give it back. Give it back now!" + +Lily chases Ben. Ben runs faster. He does not want to give back the toy. He wants to keep it. He thinks it is his toy now. He runs across the street. He does not look for cars. He does not see the big truck. The truck is fast. The truck is loud. The truck hits Ben. + +Lily stops. She sees Ben. She sees the car. They are both broken. She feels scared. She feels sorry. She cries. She wishes she had shared her toy.

She was very scared too. She said, "It is a fire, my darlings. We have to get out of the house. Quickly, put on your coats and boots." + +Mommy took them by the hand and ran outside. The fire was spreading fast. It was burning the roof and the walls. It was reaching the snowman. + +Tom and Lily saw their snowman. He was melting. His hat and scarf were on fire.

He pointed to a band and said, "You, play this song. You, play that song. You, play faster. You, play slower. You, play louder. You, play softer." + +Lily, Sam, and Ben did not like the boss. They did not want to play his songs. They wanted to play their own songs. They wanted to have fun and be themselves. They were independent. They said, "No, thank you. We will not play your songs. We will play our songs. We like our band the way it is." + +The boss was angry. He said, "Fine. Then you will not win the prize. You will not be in the show. Go away." He took their ten coins and sent them away. + +Lily, Sam, and Ben were sad. They lost their ten coins and their chance to be in the show. But they still had their band. They still had their music. They still had their friends. They went to the park and played their songs. They sang and smiled and laughed. They were happy. + +The moral of the story is: Be true to yourself and your friends. Don't let others tell you what to do or how to be. You are good enough the way you are. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They wanted to play with everything. Mom said they could, but they had to stay close to her. + +Lily and Ben ran to the slide first. They took turns going down the slide. They laughed and shouted. Then they went to the swing. They pushed each other higher and higher. They felt the wind in their hair. Then they went to the sandbox. They found some toys there.

She said they could go back to the sandbox if they wanted. But Lily and Ben did not want to. They wanted to play with something else. They asked mom if they could go to the merry-go-round. Mom said yes. They held mom's hand and walked to the merry-go-round. They forgot about the cat and the sandcastle. They had fun on the merry-go-round. They spun and spun. They smiled and giggled. They had a good day at the park. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big sheep made of wool. They called it Fluffy and hugged it every night. + +One day, their grandma came to visit them. She was very old and lived far away. She brought them a gift: two sweaters made of wool. They were soft and warm, but Anna and Ben did not like them. They wanted to play with Fluffy, not wear sweaters. + +Grandma was sad. She said, "I made these sweaters for you with love. I used the wool from my own sheep. They keep you cozy and snug. Don't you like them?" + +Anna and Ben shook their heads. They said, "No, thank you, grandma. We have Fluffy. We don't need sweaters." + +Grandma sighed. She said, "Okay, then. I will send these sweaters to someone else who needs them more. Maybe a child who has no toys or no warm clothes. Maybe they will be happy to have them." + +Anna and Ben did not care. They ran to their room and played with Fluffy. They forgot about grandma and the sweaters. + +The next day, it was very cold and windy. Anna and Ben wanted to go outside and play, but they had no warm clothes. They looked for Fluffy, but they could not find it. They asked their mom, "Where is Fluffy?" + +Mom said, "I gave Fluffy to grandma. She said she needed some more wool to make more sweaters. She said she would send you a new toy instead." + +Anna and Ben were shocked. They cried, "No, mom, no! We love Fluffy! We want Fluffy back! Please, mom, please!" + +Mom said, "I'm sorry, my dears, but it's too late. Grandma already left. She said she would send you a letter and a toy soon. Maybe you will like them better than the sweaters." + +Anna and Ben realized their mistake. They had been selfish and rude to grandma. They had not appreciated her gift or her work. They had lost their favorite toy and their warm clothes. They felt very sorry and ashamed. + +They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We were wrong. We love grandma and we love her sweaters. We wish we had been more obedient and grateful. Can we call grandma and say sorry?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can. But you have to wait until she gets home. She lives far away, remember? Maybe you can write her a letter and draw her a picture. Maybe you can tell her how much you miss her and Fluffy. Maybe you can ask her to forgive you and to send you a hug." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They got some paper and crayons and wrote a letter to grandma. They said they were sorry and they loved her. They drew a picture of them wearing the sweaters and holding Fluffy.
