+"Hi, Ben!" Mia says. "What do you have in your pocket?"
+
+"I have a cricket!" Ben says. "A very interesting cricket! Do you want to see it?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Mia says. She likes crickets too. She has a jar with some sand and leaves for them.
+
+Ben takes out the cricket and shows it to Mia. She gasps. "Wow, it is so pretty! Where did you find it?"
+
+"In my garden!" Ben says. "It was under a big rock. Can I feed it with your crickets?"
+
+"Sure!" Mia says. "But be careful. It might fly away."
+
+They go to Mia's backyard and open the jar. They put the interesting cricket inside. They watch it explore the jar and meet the other crickets. They hear it make a loud sound.
+
+"What is it doing?" Ben asks.
+
+"I think it is singing!" Mia says. "Maybe it is happy!"
+
+They smile and clap. They feed the crickets some lettuce and carrot. They have fun with their new friend.
+Tommy loves to watch the big planes soar in the sky. He wants to be a pilot when he grows up. He has a toy plane that he pretends to fly around his room. He also has a uniform that looks like the ones the pilots wear. He puts it on and feels very proud.
+
+One day, Tommy's sister Lily comes into his room. She sees his toy plane and his uniform. She wants to play with them too. She grabs the plane and tries to take it from Tommy. Tommy says, "No, Lily, that's mine! Give it back!" He pulls the plane and they start to fight.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what's wrong. She sees Tommy and Lily tugging on the plane and shouting. She is angry. She says, "Stop it, both of you! You are not sharing nicely. You are making a mess and a lot of noise. You need to calm down and say sorry to each other."
+
+Tommy and Lily look at Mom. They know they are in trouble. They let go of the plane and sit on the bed. They feel sad and ashamed. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Tommy. Sorry, Lily." Mom says, "It's okay. I know you both love the plane and the uniform. But you have to learn to share and take turns. How about you take turns flying the plane and wearing the uniform? And then you can play something else together."
+
+Tommy and Lily nod. They agree to share and take turns. They hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." Mom smiles and says, "I love you too. Now, have fun and be nice to each other." She leaves the room and closes the door. Tommy and Lily look at each other and smile. They decide to play pilots and soar in the sky. They have fun and forget their fight.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Lily got there first and climbed up the ladder. Tom was behind her and wanted to go first. He pushed Lily and made her fall. Lily cried and hurt her knee.
+
+"Tom, you are bad! You made me fall!" Lily said.
+
+"I don't care! I want to slide!" Tom said.
+
+He slid down the slide and laughed. He did not say sorry to Lily. He saw a man with a cart full of candy. He ran to the man and asked for some candy.
+
+"Can I have some candy, please?" Tom said.
+
+The man smiled and gave Tom a big bag of candy. Tom was happy and opened the bag. He saw many colors and shapes of candy. He picked a red one and put it in his mouth. It was very sweet and he liked it. He picked another one and another one. He ate many candies and did not share with Lily.
+
+Lily saw Tom eating candy and felt sad and angry. She wanted some candy too. She got up and limped to Tom. She reached for the bag of candy.
+
+"Tom, can I have some candy too?" Lily said.
+
+"No! Go away! This is my candy!" Tom said.
+
+He pulled the bag away from Lily and waved it in the air. He made a face at Lily and stuck out his tongue. Lily felt more sad and angry. She tried to grab the bag again.
+
+"Tom, you are mean! You have to share!" Lily said.
+
+"No, I don't! You are a baby! You can't have candy!" Tom said.
+
+He pushed Lily again and made her fall. Lily cried louder and louder. She hurt her knee and her hand. She wanted her mommy and daddy.
+
+The man with the cart saw what Tom did and felt sorry for Lily. He went to Lily and helped her up. He gave her a hug and a band-aid. He gave her a small bag of candy and said,
+
+"Here, sweetie, this is for you. You are a good girl. You can have some candy, but not too much. Too much candy is bad for you. It can make you sick and give you cavities. Do you know what cavities are?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, they are holes in your teeth. They hurt and make you go to the dentist."
+
+"That's right. So, you have to brush your teeth after you eat candy. And you have to eat healthy food too, like fruits and vegetables. Do you like fruits and vegetables?"
+
+Lily nodded again and said, "Yes, I do. I like apples and bananas and carrots and broccoli. They are good for me. They make me strong and smart."
+
+"That's very good. You are a smart girl. Now, where are your mommy and daddy? Do you want me to take you to them?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please. They are over there, on the bench. They are reading books. Thank you for helping me. You are a nice man."
+
+The man smiled and said, "You are very welcome. Come on, let's go."
+
+He took Lily by the hand and walked to the bench. He saw Lily's mommy and daddy and said hello. He told them what happened and gave them the bag of candy. He said goodbye and left.
+
+Lily's mommy and daddy hugged Lily and kissed her. They said they were sorry that Tom was mean to her. They said they were proud of her for being good and smart. They said they loved her very much. They gave her some candy and said she could eat it later, after dinner. They said they would brush her teeth together. They said they would go home soon and read her a story.
+
+Lily felt better and smiled. She said she loved them too. She said she was sorry for Tom. She said she hoped he would learn to share and be nice. She said she wanted to be his friend again.
+
+Tom did not feel better. He ate all the candy in the bag and felt sick. He felt restless and jittery. He felt a pain in his stomach and his teeth. He felt thirsty and dry. He felt guilty and lonely. He did not have any friends. He did not have any candy. He did not have any fun. He wished he had shared with Lily. He wished he had said sorry to Lily. He wished he had been nice to Lily. He wanted his mommy and daddy. He wanted some water and some sugar. He wanted some love and some hug. He cried and cried. He did not know what to do. He was sad and bad. He was a bad boy. He was a bad twin. He was a bad Tom.
+Lily wanted to give her mom a present for her birthday. She looked around her room and saw her favorite book on the bookshelf. She decided to wrap it with some paper and a ribbon. She took the book and went to the kitchen, where she found some paper and a ribbon.
+
+She put the book on the paper and tried to fold it around the book. But the paper was too big and she did not know how to cut it. She tried to use a knife, but it was too sharp and she almost cut her finger. She dropped the knife and started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to the kitchen. She saw Lily with the book, the paper, the ribbon and the knife. She was worried and asked, "Lily, what are you doing?"
+
+Lily sniffed and said, "I wanted to wrap a present for you, but I don't know how. I'm sorry, mom."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Oh, Lily, you don't have to be sorry. You are very sweet and thoughtful. But you should not use a knife by yourself. It is dangerous. Let me help you wrap the present, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She was happy that her mom was not angry, but she was also embarrassed that she made a mess. She hoped that her mom would like her present. She gave her the book and said, "I love you, mom. Happy birthday."
+Anna likes to play with her blocks. She can make many things with them. She can make a house, a car, a bridge, or a tower. She likes to imagine that she is a princess in a tower. She puts a crown on her head and a dress on her doll.
+
+One day, she makes a very big tower with all her blocks. She puts her doll on top of the tower. She says, "You are the princess and I am your friend. We live in the tower and we have fun. We can see the sky and the birds and the trees."
+
+But then, her brother Tom comes in. He sees the tower and he wants to play too. He says, "I am a dragon and I will knock down your tower. Roar!" He runs to the tower and pushes it with his hands. The blocks fall down and the doll falls too. Anna is sad and angry. She says, "No, Tom, no! You are bad! You broke my tower and my doll!"
+
+Tom sees that Anna is crying. He feels sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Anna. I was just playing. I did not mean to hurt you or your doll. Can we play together?" He picks up the blocks and the doll and gives them to Anna. He says, "Can we make a new tower? A bigger and better one? And can I be your friend too?"
+
+Anna stops crying. She looks at Tom and sees that he is sorry. She says, "OK, Tom, OK. We can play together. We can make a new tower. And you can be my friend too. But you cannot be a dragon. You have to be a knight. And you have to protect the tower and the princess from the bad dragons." She smiles and hugs Tom. They start to make a new tower with the blocks. They imagine that they are in a fairy tale. They are good and happy.
+Tom and Sue like to play with trains. They have a big track with many curves and bridges. They put their trains on the track and make them go fast or slow. They pretend they are drivers and passengers.
+
+One day, Tom and Sue have a new friend, Ben. Ben comes to play with them. He sees the track and the trains and says, "Wow, this is great! Can I play too?"
+
+Tom and Sue say, "Yes, you can play with us. But you have to mind the rules. The rules are: share the trains, don't break the track, and have fun."
+
+Ben says, "OK, I will mind the rules. What train can I have?"
+
+Tom and Sue show him their trains. They have a red train, a blue train, and a green train. They say, "You can have the green train. It is very fast and strong."
+
+Ben takes the green train and puts it on the track. He makes it go fast and slow. He says, "This is fun! I like the green train. Thank you for letting me play with you."
+
+Tom and Sue smile and say, "You're welcome. We like to play with you too. You are a good friend."
+
+They play with the trains for a long time. They make noises and stories. They have a lot of fun. They are happy.
+Tom is a big boy who likes to help his dad. His dad works in an office with many people and computers. Sometimes, Tom goes to the office with his dad and plays with his toys.
+
+One day, Tom finds a spray bottle in the office. He thinks it is a fun toy. He sprays water on the plants, on the windows, and on the chairs. He laughs and says, "Spray, spray, spray!"
+
+But then, he sprays water on a computer. The computer makes a loud noise and stops working. Tom is scared. He drops the spray bottle and runs to his dad.
+
+"Dad, dad, I'm sorry!" Tom cries. "I broke the computer with the spray!"
+
+His dad is angry, but he is also honest. He tells the other people in the office what Tom did. He says, "Tom is a good boy, but he made a mistake. He did not know the spray bottle was not a toy. He is sorry and he told me the truth."
+
+The other people in the office are not happy, but they are also honest. They say, "Tom is a brave boy, but he should not play with the spray bottle. He should ask before he touches anything. He should say sorry to the computer."
+
+Tom feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, computer. I'm sorry, people. I will not play with the spray bottle again. I will be careful and listen to my dad."
+
+His dad hugs him and says, "I'm proud of you, Tom. You are honest and you learn from your mistakes. I love you, son."
+
+Tom smiles and says, "I love you, dad."
+Sara and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big hole with water in it. It is a well. Sara and Ben run to the well and look inside.
+
+"Wow, so much water!" Sara says. "Can we touch it?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "It looks deep and wet. Maybe we need a bucket."
+
+They look around and find a bucket and a rope. They tie the rope to the bucket and lower it into the well. They hear a splash.
+
+"Let's pull it up!" Sara says. They pull the rope together and lift the bucket. It is full of water.
+
+"Yay, we did it!" Ben says. He reaches for the bucket, but he slips and falls into the well. He screams.
+
+"Ben, Ben!" Sara shouts. She stares at the well and sees Ben's head in the water. He looks scared and wet. "Help, help!" Sara cries.
+
+Mom hears Sara and runs to the garden. She sees Ben in the well and Sara on the edge. She grabs the rope and pulls Ben out of the well. She hugs him and wraps him in a towel.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Mom asks.
+
+"I'm okay, Mom," Ben says. "But I'm wet and cold."
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Sara says. "It was my fault. I wanted to touch the water."
+
+"It's okay, Sara," Ben says. "It was an accident. You are a good sister."
+
+Mom smiles and takes them inside. She gives them hot chocolate and cookies. She tells them to be careful and not to play near the well again. Sara and Ben nod and say sorry. They hug Mom and each other. They are happy and warm.
+Tom and Lily liked to play sport with their friends. They had a large ball that they could kick and throw. They played in the park when the sun was bright and warm.
+
+One day, they saw a new ball in the shop. It was shiny and colorful. It could glow in the dark. Tom and Lily wanted the new ball very much. They asked their mom and dad to buy it for them.
+
+Mom and dad said no. They said the new ball was too expensive and not good for playing sport. They said the old ball was better and they should be happy with what they had. Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They did not listen to mom and dad.
+
+They decided to take some money from mom's purse and buy the new ball. They sneaked out of the house and went to the shop. They gave the money to the shopkeeper and took the new ball. They felt excited and proud.
+
+They ran to the park to play with the new ball. They showed it to their friends. Their friends were amazed and jealous. They wanted to play with the new ball too. Tom and Lily said no. They said the new ball was theirs and they did not want to share. They said their friends could only watch.
+
+They kicked and threw the new ball. It glowed in the dark. It looked very pretty. But soon, they realized that the new ball was not good for playing sport. It was too hard and heavy. It hurt their feet and hands. It bounced too high and too far. It was hard to catch and control. It also made a loud noise when it hit the ground.
+
+Their friends laughed at them. They said the new ball was silly and useless. They said the old ball was better and more fun. They said Tom and Lily were mean and greedy. They did not want to play with them anymore. They took the old ball and played with each other.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad and sorry. They wished they had listened to mom and dad. They wished they had not taken the money and bought the new ball. They wished they had been kind and generous to their friends. They learned a lesson. They decided to take the new ball back to the shop and get their money back. They decided to apologize to mom and dad and to their friends. They decided to play with the old ball and share it with everyone. They decided to be happy with what they had.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the yard. They had many toys, but they also liked to find junk and make new things. One day, they found a big box and some old clothes. They decided to make a stage and a show.
+
+They put on the clothes and pretended to be famous singers. They sang and danced and made funny faces. They invited their mom and dad to watch. Mom and dad clapped and cheered. They were very proud of Tim and Kim.
+
+But then, Tim had an idea. He whispered to Kim, "Let's do something that will make them laugh more. Let's kiss each other on the lips!"
+
+Kim did not like the idea. She said, "No, Tim. That is not funny. That is gross. We are brother and sister. We do not kiss like that."
+
+Tim said, "Come on, Kim. It is just a joke. They will think it is hilarious. Trust me."
+
+Kim did not want to make Tim sad. She wanted to be a good sister. So she agreed. She said, "OK, Tim. But only for a second. And then we stop."
+
+They finished their song and bowed. Then they looked at each other and kissed on the lips. They expected their mom and dad to laugh. But they did not. They looked shocked and angry. They did not clap or cheer. They said, "Tim and Kim, what are you doing? That is not appropriate. That is not how you show love. You need to apologize and go to your room."
+
+Tim and Kim felt ashamed and confused. They did not understand why their mom and dad were so mad. They thought they were just having fun. They said, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We did not mean to be bad. We just wanted to make you happy."
+
+Mom and dad hugged them and said, "We love you, Tim and Kim. But you need to learn that some things are not jokes. Some things are special and private. You can kiss each other on the cheek or the forehead. But not on the lips. That is for grown-ups who are in love. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Kim nodded. They said, "We understand, mom and dad. We will not do it again. We love you too."
+
+They went to their room and played with their toys. They learned their lesson. They never kissed each other on the lips again. They still made shows and jokes. But they were careful and respectful. They were happy and good twins.
+Anna and Ben love to watch the parade. They wait with Mom and Dad on the sidewalk. They see big trucks, big cars, big bikes and big balloons. They hear loud music, loud horns, loud drums and loud cheers. They wave their flags and clap their hands.
+
+Anna sees a big red balloon that looks like a heart. She likes it very much. She wants to touch it. She lets go of Mom's hand and runs to the balloon. But the balloon is too high. She cannot reach it. She feels sad.
+
+Ben sees Anna run to the balloon. He knows she is not supposed to do that. He is scared. He calls Mom and Dad. They see Anna too. They run after her. They tell her to come back. They are worried.
+
+The balloon man sees Anna too. He smiles. He lowers the balloon a little bit. He lets Anna touch it. He gives her a small balloon that looks like a star. He tells her to be careful and stay with Mom and Dad. He tells her to enjoy the parade.
+
+Anna is happy. She says thank you to the balloon man. She runs back to Mom and Dad. She hugs them. She shows them her star balloon. She says sorry for running away. She says she loves them. They hug her too. They say they love her too. They say they are proud of her. They watch the parade together. They have fun.
+Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. Anna likes blue blocks. She puts them on top of the tower. Ben likes red blocks. He puts them on the side of the tower.
+
+"Stop!" Anna says. "You make the tower fall. Only blue blocks can go on top."
+
+"No!" Ben says. "Red blocks are better. They make the tower strong. You move your blue blocks."
+
+Anna and Ben start to pull and push the blocks. They are angry. They do not share. The tower wobbles and shakes. It is difficult to keep it up.
+
+"Let go!" Anna shouts. She slaps Ben's hand. Ben cries. He slaps Anna's face. Anna cries.
+
+The tower falls down. The blocks scatter. Anna and Ben are sad. They hurt each other. They broke their tower.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what happened. She sees Anna and Ben crying. She sees the blocks on the floor.
+
+"What is going on?" Mom asks. "Why are you crying? Why are the blocks everywhere?"
+
+Anna and Ben tell Mom what they did. They say they are sorry. Mom hugs them. She says they should not slap each other. She says they should play nicely. She says they can use different colors to make the tower. She says they can help each other.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They wipe their tears. They pick up the blocks. They start to build the tower again. They use blue and red blocks. They take turns. They say please and thank you. They smile. They are happy. They make a big tower. They are proud. Mom is proud too. She claps her hands. She says they did a good job. She says she loves them.
+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a lot of fog in the air. They could not see very far.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek in the fog!" Ben said. "It will be fun!"
+
+"OK!" Anna said. "You count to ten and I will hide!"
+
+Ben closed his eyes and counted. Anna ran away and looked for a good hiding spot. She found a big tree and hid behind it. She waited for Ben to find her.
+
+But Ben did not find her. He looked and looked, but he could not see her. He got scared and sad. He thought Anna had left him alone in the fog.
+
+"Anna! Anna! Where are you?" Ben shouted. "Please come back! I don't like the fog!"
+
+Anna heard Ben's voice. She felt sorry for him. She came out from behind the tree and ran to him.
+
+"Ben! I'm here! I'm sorry I hid too well!" Anna said. "I didn't mean to make you scared and sad!"
+
+Ben saw Anna and hugged her. He was happy to see her. He was not scared and sad anymore.
+
+"Anna, I'm glad you're here! I forgive you for hiding too well!" Ben said. "You're my best friend! You're reliable!"
+
+Anna smiled and hugged him back. She was happy to hear him say that.
+
+"Ben, you're my best friend too! You're reliable!" Anna said. "Let's go home now! The fog is too thick!"
+
+They held hands and walked home together. They were still best friends. They learned to forgive each other and to be reliable. They did not like the fog, but they liked each other.
+Tommy was bored. He wanted to play with his cars, but his mom said no. She said he had to clean his room first. Tommy did not like to clean his room. He thought it was hard and not fun.
+
+He had an idea. He would invite his friend Sam to play with him. Sam liked cars too. Maybe they could play in the garage. The garage had a lot of space and a lot of things to explore. Tommy ran to the phone and called Sam.
+
+"Hi, Sam. Do you want to play with me?" Tommy asked.
+
+"Sure, Tommy. What do you want to play?" Sam said.
+
+"Let's play with cars in the garage. It will be fun," Tommy said.
+
+"OK, I will come over soon. Bye, Tommy," Sam said.
+
+Tommy was happy. He put on his shoes and ran to the garage. He did not tell his mom. He thought she would not mind.
+
+He opened the garage door and saw his dad's car. It was big and shiny. Tommy liked his dad's car. He wanted to touch it and sit in it. He climbed on the car and pretended to drive. He made noises with his mouth. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep.
+
+He did not see his dad coming. His dad was grumpy. He had a bad day at work. He wanted to park his car in the garage. He did not expect to see Tommy on his car. He was angry.
+
+"Tommy, what are you doing? Get off my car right now!" his dad yelled.
+
+Tommy was scared. He tried to get off the car, but he slipped and fell. He hit his head on the floor. He cried.
+
+His dad ran to him and picked him up. He saw blood on his head. He was worried.
+
+"Tommy, are you OK? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you. You need to go to the doctor. Come on, let's go," his dad said.
+
+Tommy was hurt. He did not want to go to the doctor. He wanted to play with Sam. He wondered where Sam was. He did not hear the doorbell. He did not hear Sam calling his name. He did not hear Sam leaving. He did not hear Sam saying, "I guess Tommy does not want to play with me."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the attic. They liked to look at the old things that Mom and Dad kept there. They found a box with shiny toys and books. They opened the box and took out some things to play with.
+
+"Look, Lily, this is a doll. She has a pretty dress and long hair. Do you want to play with her?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, Tom, I don't like dolls. They are boring. I want to play with this train. It has wheels and makes noise. Do you want to play with me?" Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily, I don't like trains. They are loud and dirty. I want to play with the doll. She is nice and quiet. You can have the train," Tom said.
+
+They started to argue. They did not understand why they liked different things. They did not want to share. They pulled and pushed the toys. They made a lot of noise and dust.
+
+Mom heard them and came to the attic. She saw the mess and the angry faces. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing, Lily and Tom? Why are you fighting? You are making a lot of noise and dust. You are not being nice to each other. You should play together and share. Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at Mom. They felt bad. They did not want to make Mom sad. They nodded their heads.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry. We will play together and share. We will clean up the mess. We love you, Mom," Lily and Tom said.
+
+Mom smiled. She hugged them and kissed them. She helped them to put the toys and books back in the box. She told them stories about the old things. She showed them pictures of when she was little. She made them laugh.
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They learned to understand each other. They learned to share. They had fun with Mom. They liked the attic. It was bright and full of stories.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big robot and Lily had a small doll. Tom wanted to play with the doll, but Lily said no.
+
+"Give me the doll, Lily. It is fair. You have it for a long time," Tom said.
+
+"No, Tom. It is my doll. You have the robot. It is fair," Lily said.
+
+They started to pull the doll from each other. The doll's dress ripped and they both fell on the floor. They began to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken doll and the angry children.
+
+"What happened here? Why are you fighting?" Mom asked.
+
+"Tom wanted my doll and he ripped her dress. He is bad," Lily said.
+
+"Lily did not let me play with the doll. She is mean," Tom said.
+
+Mom sighed and picked up the doll. She looked at the children and said, "You both need to learn to share and be kind. Fighting is not nice. You hurt the doll and each other. How do you think the doll feels?"
+
+The children looked at the doll and felt sorry. The doll had a sad face and a torn dress.
+
+"I am sorry, doll. I did not mean to hurt you," Tom said.
+
+"I am sorry, too, doll. I should have let Tom play with you," Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That is good. You are sorry. Now, can you say sorry to each other and hug?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said sorry to each other. They hugged and felt better.
+
+Mom said, "Now, I have an idea. Why don't we fix the doll's dress and make her a new suit? Then you can both play with her and the robot. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Lily liked the idea. They said, "Yes, Mom. That sounds fun. Thank you, Mom."
+
+Mom said, "You are welcome, my loves. Now, let's go and find some fabric and scissors. And remember, no more fighting, okay?"
+
+Tom and Lily said, "Okay, Mom. We will not fight. We will share and be kind."
+
+They followed Mom to the kitchen and started to make a new suit for the doll. They surrendered their anger and learned to play together. They had a happy afternoon.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to eat cereal every morning. They had a big box of cereal with many colors and shapes. They called it rainbow cereal. They always shared the cereal and poured some milk on it.
+
+One day, Ben woke up before Lily and went to the kitchen. He saw the box of cereal on the table and felt hungry. He thought, "I want to eat all the rainbow cereal by myself. Lily will not know." He took the box and hid it under his bed. Then he went back to sleep.
+
+Lily woke up and went to the kitchen. She looked for the box of cereal but could not find it. She felt sad and confused. She asked her mom, "Mom, where is the rainbow cereal?"
+
+Mom said, "I don't know, honey. Maybe Ben knows. Let's go and ask him." They went to Ben's room and saw him sleeping. Mom said, "Ben, wake up. Do you know where the rainbow cereal is?"
+
+Ben opened his eyes and saw Mom and Lily. He felt guilty and scared. He said, "I don't know, Mom. I did not see the cereal." But Mom and Lily saw the box under his bed. They pulled it out and saw that it was almost empty.
+
+Mom said, "Ben, did you steal the cereal and eat it by yourself?" Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I'm sorry. I was greedy and selfish. I did not think about Lily."
+
+Lily said, "Ben, why did you do that? I like the cereal too. We always share everything. You are my brother and my friend."
+
+Ben said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I don't know why I did that. It was a bad thing to do. The cereal is not that special. It is just ordinary cereal. You are more special to me than the cereal. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, Ben. I forgive you. But you have to promise me that you will not steal anything again. And you have to share the cereal with me next time."
+
+Ben said, "I promise, Lily. I will not steal anything again. And I will share the cereal with you next time. I love you, Lily."
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, Ben." They hugged each other and smiled. Mom said, "I'm glad you two made up. But you still have to eat something for breakfast. How about some toast and jam?"
+
+Ben and Lily said, "Yes, please, Mom. That sounds good." They went to the kitchen and ate some toast and jam. They were happy and full. They learned a lesson about stealing and sharing. They decided to be good twins and good friends.
+Jen and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big red ball that they threw to each other. One day, they saw a big black dog near the swings. The dog looked hungry and angry. Jen and Ben were scared of the dog.
+
+"Let's go away from the dog," Jen said to Ben. "He might bite us."
+
+But Ben wanted to be brave. He said, "No, I want to pet the dog. He looks lonely and sad. Maybe he wants to be our friend."
+
+Jen tried to stop Ben, but he ran to the dog. He reached out his hand to touch the dog's head. The dog growled and showed his teeth. He did not want to be petted. He wanted to eat.
+
+The dog jumped on Ben and bit his arm. Ben screamed and dropped the ball. Jen ran to help him, but the dog was too fast and strong. He dragged Ben to the bushes. Jen heard Ben cry and saw blood on the ground.
+
+Jen was very scared and sad. She wished she had listened to her sister. She wished they had gone away from the dog. She wished they had gone home for lunch. But it was too late. The dog had become their lunch. Jen felt very uncomfortable. She did not know what to do. She hoped someone would come and save them. But no one came. The end.
+Lila and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lila liked the swans. They had long necks and white feathers. She wanted to feed them some bread.
+
+"Mom, can I give bread to the swans?" Lila asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Swans can bite if they are angry. And don't go too close to the water," Mom said.
+
+Lila nodded and took a piece of bread from Mom. She walked slowly to the edge of the pond. She saw an old swan with gray feathers and a black beak. It looked sad and lonely. Lila felt sorry for it.
+
+"Hello, old swan. Do you want some bread?" Lila said softly. She raised her hand and tossed the bread to the swan.
+
+The old swan saw the bread and swam towards it. It ate the bread and looked at Lila. It made a soft sound, like a thank you. Lila smiled and threw another piece of bread.
+
+The old swan ate the bread and came closer to Lila. It stretched its neck and touched Lila's hand with its beak. It was gentle and warm. Lila giggled and stroked the swan's feathers.
+
+"You are a nice swan. I like you," Lila said.
+
+The old swan nodded and made another sound, like a happy noise. It stayed with Lila and ate more bread. Lila felt happy too.
+
+Ben saw Lila and the old swan. He wanted to join them. He ran to the pond and shouted.
+
+"Hey, Lila, can I feed the swan too?"
+
+The old swan heard Ben and got scared. It flapped its wings and hissed. It did not like loud noises. It swam away from Lila and Ben.
+
+Lila was sad. She liked the old swan. She did not want it to go.
+
+"Ben, you scared the swan. You have to be quiet and gentle. The swan is old and shy," Lila said.
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to scare the swan. He wanted to be friends with it too.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lila. I'm sorry, old swan. Can I say sorry to the swan?" Ben asked.
+
+Lila nodded and took Ben's hand. They walked slowly and quietly to the swan. They said sorry and gave it some bread. The old swan saw them and calmed down. It ate the bread and let them touch its feathers. It made a sound, like a forgive you.
+
+Lila and Ben smiled and hugged the swan. The swan hugged them back with its wings. They became friends with the old swan. Mom saw them and smiled too. She took a picture of them and the swan. It was a happy day at the park.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big stick on the ground. Lily runs to the stick and picks it up.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a stick!" Lily says. "I can use it as a sword or a wand or a flute!"
+
+Ben wants the stick too. He runs after Lily and tries to grab the stick.
+
+"Give me the stick, Lily!" Ben says. "I want to play with it!"
+
+"No, Ben, it's my stick!" Lily says. "You can find another stick!"
+
+They pull and tug on the stick. The stick breaks in half. Lily and Ben fall on the grass. They are both filthy.
+
+They look at each other and start to cry.
+
+"Mommy!" Lily and Ben shout. "We broke the stick!"
+
+Mommy comes to the park. She sees Lily and Ben crying and filthy. She hugs them and wipes their tears.
+
+"It's okay, Lily and Ben," Mommy says. "It's just a stick. You can share it or find another one. But first, let's go home and clean up. You are both filthy!"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They hold Mommy's hand and walk home. They still have their half-sticks. They decide to play with them later. They are sorry for fighting. They say sorry to each other.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily says.
+
+They hug and smile. They are friends again.
+Tom and Lily were happy to move to a new house with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see their new rooms and unpack their toys. Mom and Dad said they could choose any room they liked.
+
+Tom ran up the stairs and opened the first door. He saw a big bed, a closet, and a window. He liked the room, but he saw something scary. There was a big cobweb on the ceiling, with a spider in it. Tom screamed and ran out of the room.
+
+Lily followed him and opened the second door. She saw a small bed, a shelf, and a lamp. She liked the room, but she saw something weird. There was a painting on the wall, with a face that looked like her. But the face had one eye, one ear, and one horn. Lily gasped and ran out of the room.
+
+Tom and Lily met in the hallway and hugged each other. They were scared and confused. They did not like the new house. They wanted to go back to their old house.
+
+"Mom, Dad, we don't want to stay here!" they cried. "There are cobwebs and spiders and strange paintings!"
+
+Mom and Dad came up the stairs and smiled. They did not hear their children. They were too happy to see their new rooms.
+
+"Look, honey, this is our room!" Mom said. "It has a fireplace, a balcony, and a jacuzzi!"
+
+"And this is our study!" Dad said. "It has a desk, a bookcase, and a computer!"
+
+Mom and Dad hugged and kissed. They loved the new house. They thought it was unique and special.
+
+They did not notice Tom and Lily, who were crying and shaking. They did not see the cobweb, the spider, and the painting. They did not hear the door slam and the lock click. They did not know that the new house was haunted.
+Anna was sad. It was her birthday, but no one came to her party. She had a cake and balloons, but no friends. She waited and waited, but no one knocked on the door. She looked out the window, but no one was there. She felt like crying.
+
+Then, she heard a noise. It was a loud noise, like a big truck. She ran to the window again, and saw something amazing. It was a big red fire truck, with lights and sirens. And on the fire truck, there were many people. They were her friends, and her family, and some firemen. They all had gifts for her, and they were smiling and waving.
+
+"Surprise!" they shouted. "Happy birthday, Anna!"
+
+Anna was so happy. She ran to the door, and opened it. She hugged her friends and her family, and thanked the firemen. They all came inside, and gave her their gifts. She had books, and toys, and clothes, and candy. She had everything she wanted.
+
+They ate the cake, and played with the balloons, and sang songs. Anna had the best birthday ever. She was not sad anymore. She was very happy.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Sue like to play outside. They have a brown wagon. They put their toys in the wagon and pull it around the yard. They have fun.
+
+One day, it starts to rain. The rain is wet and cold. Tom and Sue run inside the house. They leave the wagon outside. They forget about the wagon.
+
+The rain does not stop. It rains all day and all night. The wagon gets wet and muddy. The toys get wet and dirty. The wagon is not brown anymore. It is gray and sad.
+
+The next day, the sun comes out. Tom and Sue want to play outside again. They look for the wagon. They see it in the yard. It is wet and muddy and gray and sad. They are sad too.
+
+They get a bucket and a sponge. They fill the bucket with water and soap. They go to the wagon. They wash the wagon and the toys. They scrub and rinse and dry. They make the wagon brown again. They make the toys clean again. They make the wagon happy again. They are happy too.
+
+They put their toys in the wagon and pull it around the yard. They have fun.
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to eat jelly on bread. But they did not like to share. One day, Mom made a big jar of jelly. She said, "This is healthy jelly. It has fruit and honey. You can have some for your snack, but you have to share."
+
+Tim and Sam nodded. But they had a plan. They waited until Mom went to the store. Then they ran to the kitchen. They each grabbed a knife and a slice of bread. They wanted to get the most jelly.
+
+They opened the jar and dipped their knives. But they did not see the label. It said, "Hot pepper jelly. Very sharp. Be careful." They spread the jelly on their bread. Then they took a big bite.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" they cried. Their mouths were on fire. They dropped their bread and ran to the sink. They drank water and milk. They felt very sorry.
+
+Mom came back and saw the mess. She saw the jar and the label. She shook her head. She said, "I told you to share. And I told you to be careful. This jelly is not for you. It is for Dad. He likes sharp things. You should have listened to me."
+
+Tim and Sam nodded. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We learned our lesson. Can we have some healthy jelly? The one with fruit and honey?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. But only if you share. And only if you use a spoon. No more knives. Knives are sharp. They can hurt you."
+
+Tim and Sam agreed. They hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. And we love healthy jelly. But not sharp jelly. Never again."
+Ben is a boy who likes to fly. He has a toy plane that he plays with every day. He makes it zoom and swoop in the air. He pretends he is a pilot and goes on adventures.
+
+One day, he wants to fly his plane outside. He asks his mom if he can go to the park. His mom says no, it is too cold and windy. Ben is sad. He wants to fly his plane in the sky.
+
+He has an idea. He goes to his room and opens the window. He thinks he can fly his plane from the window. He holds his plane and throws it hard. He hopes it will fly far and high.
+
+But his plane does not fly. It falls down and hits the ground. It breaks into pieces. Ben is very sad. He cries and cries. He wants his plane back.
+
+His mom hears him cry and comes to his room. She sees the broken plane and the open window. She hugs Ben and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I know you love your plane. But you can't fly it from the window. It is too dangerous. You could get hurt or lose your plane. Next time, ask me before you do something like that."
+
+Ben says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to fly my plane. I wanted to be successful like a pilot."
+
+His mom says, "I understand, Ben. But being successful is not only about flying. It is also about being careful and smart and kind. You can be successful in many ways. You can draw, or read, or sing, or help others. You can do anything you want, as long as you are safe and happy."
+
+Ben says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can we fix my plane?"
+
+His mom says, "Of course, Ben. I love you too. We can fix your plane together. And maybe tomorrow, we can go to the park and fly it there."
+
+Ben smiles and hugs his mom. He feels better. He still likes to fly, but he also likes to be careful and smart and kind. He thinks he can be successful in many ways.
+Ben and Lily liked to play pirates on the beach. They had a big box that was their ship, and a stick that was their flag. They also had a rope that was their anchor. They threw the rope into the water and pretended it was holding their ship in place.
+
+One day, a big wave came and took their anchor away. Ben and Lily were sad. They did not want to lose their anchor. They looked for it in the water, but they could not see it.
+
+"Where is our anchor?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a shark ate it," Lily said.
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was a man with a hat and a beard. He was holding their anchor.
+
+"Hello, little pirates. Is this yours?" he asked.
+
+Ben and Lily ran to him and took their anchor. They were happy.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" they said.
+
+"You're welcome. I found it in the water. It's a nice anchor. Where did you get it?" the man asked.
+
+"It's ours. We made it. It's the best anchor in the world," Ben said.
+
+The man smiled. He said, "You know, I'm a famous pirate. My name is Captain Jack. And this anchor looks very old and special. It reminds me of the anchor I used to have on my ship. It was a magic anchor. It could restore anything that was broken or lost."
+
+"Really? A magic anchor?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, really. Do you want to see?" the man said.
+
+He took the anchor and touched it to the box. The box turned into a shiny wooden ship. He touched it to the stick. The stick turned into a colorful flag. He touched it to the rope. The rope turned into a strong chain.
+
+Ben and Lily gasped. They could not believe their eyes.
+
+"Wow! That's amazing!" they said.
+
+The man said, "Now you have a real pirate ship. Do you want to sail with me and have some adventures?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They nodded.
+
+"Yes, please!" they said.
+
+The man said, "All right, then. Come on board, mates. Let's raise the anchor and set sail. Yo ho ho!"
+Lily liked to play with her mother's plates. They were delicate and shiny and had pretty flowers on them. She would take them out of the cupboard and pretend to have tea parties with her dolls. But she had to be careful not to break them, or her mother would be angry.
+
+One day, Lily was playing with the plates when her brother Tom came into the kitchen. He was bored and wanted to join her. He grabbed a plate from her hand and said, "Let me play too!"
+
+"No, Tom, these are mine!" Lily cried. "They are not for you! They are for my dolls!"
+
+Tom did not listen. He threw the plate in the air and tried to catch it. But he missed and the plate fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces with a loud crash.
+
+Lily gasped and started to cry. She knew her mother would be very mad. She ran to the broken plate and tried to pick up the pieces. But they were sharp and cut her fingers. She felt pain and blood.
+
+Tom saw what he had done and felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break it. Are you okay?"
+
+But Lily did not answer. She was too sad and hurt. She suffered because of Tom's mistake. She wished he had never touched her plate. She wished he had left her alone. She wished her mother would come and make it better. But her mother was not home. She was at work. And Lily was alone with Tom and the broken plate.
+Mira wanted to be independent. She did not like it when her mom told her what to do. She wanted to choose her own clothes, her own food, and her own toys. She wanted to explore the world by herself.
+
+One day, her mom said, "Mira, it is time to go to the park. Put on your coat and shoes, please."
+
+Mira did not want to go to the park. She wanted to stay at home and play with her dolls. She said, "No, mom. I do not want to go. I want to play here."
+
+Her mom said, "Mira, you have to go. The park is fun. You can swing, slide, and run. You can see your friends. You will like it."
+
+Mira did not listen. She resist her mom. She hid under the table and said, "No, no, no. I do not want to go. I want to be independent."
+
+Her mom was sad and angry. She said, "Mira, you are being very naughty. You have to listen to me. I know what is best for you. You cannot be independent all the time. You need me to help you and protect you. You need to follow the rules."
+
+Mira did not understand. She thought her mom was mean and bossy. She said, "No, mom. You are mean and bossy. You do not let me do what I want. You do not let me be independent. I do not need you. I can do everything by myself."
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "Mira, I love you very much. I am not mean and bossy. I am your mom. I want you to be happy and safe. You can be independent sometimes, but not always. You need to trust me and cooperate with me. You need to respect me and be polite to me. Can you do that?"
+
+Mira looked at her mom. She saw her mom's eyes were wet and her voice was soft. She felt sorry for her mom. She said, "I love you too, mom. I am sorry I was naughty. I will try to be good. I will go to the park with you. But can I choose my own coat and shoes?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can choose your own coat and shoes. But hurry up, or we will be late. Come on, let's go to the park and have fun."
+
+Mira came out from under the table and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom in the world. I will listen to you and follow the rules. But I will also be independent sometimes, okay?"
+
+Her mom said, "Okay, Mira. You can be independent sometimes. But remember, I am always here for you. I am proud of you, my little independent girl."
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Tom gets a new drum. It is big and red and makes loud sounds. Tom is very happy with his drum.
+
+Sam comes to visit Tom. He sees the drum and wants to play with it. He asks Tom, "Can I try your drum, please?" Tom says, "No, this is my drum. You can play with something else." Sam feels sad and angry. He thinks Tom is selfish.
+
+Sam looks around and sees a ball. He picks up the ball and throws it at the drum. The drum falls down and breaks. Tom cries and shouts, "You broke my drum! You are mean!" Sam says, "You are mean too! You did not share your drum with me!"
+
+Tom and Sam start to fight. They push and hit each other. They are both hurt and unhappy. Then, they hear a knock on the door. It is their teacher, Miss Lee. She comes to see how they are doing.
+
+Miss Lee sees the broken drum and the fighting boys. She is shocked and disappointed. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? Why did you break the drum?" Tom and Sam stop fighting and look at Miss Lee. They feel ashamed and sorry.
+
+Miss Lee tells them, "Fighting is not nice. Breaking things is not nice. Sharing is nice. Friends should share and play together. Do you understand?" Tom and Sam nod and say, "Yes, Miss Lee. We understand." Miss Lee says, "Good. Now, say sorry to each other and hug." Tom and Sam say sorry and hug. They feel better.
+
+Miss Lee says, "I have something for you. I brought you a new drum. It is blue and green and makes soft sounds. You can play with it together. Do you want it?" Tom and Sam look at the new drum and smile. They say, "Yes, Miss Lee. Thank you!" Miss Lee says, "You are welcome. I am glad you are friends again. Now, let me hear some nice music." Tom and Sam offer to play the new drum for Miss Lee. They take turns and share. They make nice music and have fun. Miss Lee claps and cheers. She is proud of them.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to make bubbles with soap and water. They had a big bowl of soap and a flexible straw each. They blew into the straw and made big bubbles that floated in the air.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a giant bubble!" Tom said. He tried to catch the bubble with his hand, but it popped. He laughed.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Lily said. She blew harder and harder, and made a bigger bubble than Tom. She was very happy. She wanted to show Tom her bubble.
+
+She stepped towards Tom with her bubble. But she did not see the hose on the ground. She tripped over the hose and fell. Her bubble popped on her face. She got soap in her eyes and mouth. She cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said. She rubbed her eyes and spit out the soap. It tasted bad.
+
+Tom heard Lily cry. He ran to help her. He saw the hose and the soap. He understood what happened. He felt sorry for Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, are you okay?" Tom said. He gave her a hug and a tissue. He helped her clean her face.
+
+Lily stopped crying. She felt better. She smiled at Tom.
+
+"Thank you, Tom, you are a good friend," Lily said. She gave him a hug back.
+
+They decided to play something else. They put away the soap and the straws. They picked up the hose and sprayed water on the flowers. They had fun. They were careful not to step on the hose again.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, it was very cloudy and dark. Lily's mom said, "It might rain soon. Take your umbrella with you."
+
+Lily and Tom went to the park. They saw a big slide. They wanted to go on it. But there was a problem. The slide was too high for them. They did not know how to climb up.
+
+"Look, there is a rope!" Tom said. He pointed to a rope that was hanging from a tree near the slide. "Maybe we can use it to go up."
+
+Lily was not sure. She said, "The rope looks old and thin. It might break."
+
+Tom said, "Don't be scared. I will go first. You can hold my umbrella for me." He gave Lily his umbrella. It was blue and had stars on it. He liked it very much.
+
+Tom grabbed the rope and pulled it tight. He tried to swing to the slide. But he was too heavy. The rope snapped. Tom fell to the ground. He was not hurt, but he was sad. He lost his umbrella. It flew away with the wind.
+
+Lily ran to Tom. She said, "Are you okay, Tom?"
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "I'm okay, but I miss my umbrella. It was my favorite."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Tom. She said, "I have an idea. Why don't we share my umbrella? It is pink and has flowers on it. It is very pretty."
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I like your umbrella too."
+
+Lily and Tom held the umbrella together. They walked back to their moms. They did not mind the rain. They were happy. They knew they were good friends.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the yard. They had a big pile of leaves that they raked with their rake. They liked to jump in the leaves and make noise.
+
+"Look, Mom is making a cake!" Sara said, pointing to the window. "Can we have some?"
+
+"Not yet, sweeties. The cake is not ready. You have to wait a little bit," Mom said from the kitchen.
+
+Sara and Ben felt hungry. They wanted some cake. They looked at the pile of leaves again.
+
+"Let's make a leaf cake!" Ben said. "We can pretend it is a real cake and eat it."
+
+"Okay!" Sara said. "That sounds fun. How do we make a leaf cake?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea.
+
+"We need a big leaf for the bottom. Then we put some small leaves on top. Then we add some acorns and pine cones for the decorations. And then we cut it with the rake," he said.
+
+Sara nodded. She liked Ben's idea. They worked together to make a leaf cake. They found a big leaf, some small leaves, some acorns and pine cones. They arranged them on the ground. They used the rake to cut the cake into pieces.
+
+"Here, Sara. This piece is for you," Ben said, handing her a leaf with an acorn on it.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. This piece is for you," Sara said, giving him a leaf with a pine cone on it.
+
+They pretended to eat the leaf cake. They made yummy noises. They smiled at each other.
+
+They heard Mom calling them from the kitchen.
+
+"Kids, the cake is ready! Come and join me for a snack!"
+
+Sara and Ben ran to the house. They left the leaf cake behind. They were still hungry, but they were also happy. They had fun playing with the rake and the leaves. They liked to join Mom for a real cake. They loved each other.
+Anna and Ben were playing with dough in the kitchen. They liked to make shapes and animals with the dough. Anna made a star and Ben made a snake.
+
+"Look, I made a star!" Anna said, showing her dough to Ben.
+
+"That's not a star, that's a circle with points!" Ben said, laughing.
+
+Anna felt sad. She did not understand why Ben was laughing at her. She thought her star was good.
+
+Ben saw Anna's face and felt sorry. He was not trying to be mean, he was just joking. He was thoughtful and wanted to make Anna happy again.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. Your star is very good. Do you want to see my snake?" Ben said, holding his dough.
+
+Anna nodded and smiled. She liked Ben's snake. It was long and had eyes and a tongue.
+
+"Your snake is very good, too. Can we make more shapes and animals together?" Anna said, holding her star.
+
+"Yes, let's do that. We can make a dough family!" Ben said, hugging Anna.
+
+Anna and Ben were happy. They understood each other and played with dough. They made a dough mom, a dough dad, a dough sister, a dough brother, and a dough dog. They had fun and learned new words.
+One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lily liked the swans. They had long necks and white feathers. She wanted to talk to them.
+
+"Hello, swans!" Lily said. "What are your names? Where do you live? Do you like bread?"
+
+But the swans did not answer. They swam away or made loud noises. Lily was sad. She thought the swans did not like her.
+
+Her mom saw her sad face and hugged her. "Don't worry, Lily," she said. "The swans are not rude. They just don't speak the same way as we do. They have their own language. Maybe they are saying hello back to you."
+
+Lily looked at the pond again. She saw one swan swimming towards her. It had a red band on its leg. It looked at her with its black eyes and nodded its head.
+
+"Maybe this swan wants to be my friend," Lily said. She smiled and waved at the swan. The swan waved back with its wing.
+
+Lily and her mom found some bread in their bag. They broke it into small pieces and threw it to the swan. The swan ate the bread and made happy sounds. It came closer to the edge of the pond.
+
+Lily reached out her hand and touched the swan's soft feathers. The swan did not mind. It let Lily pet it gently.
+
+"Thank you, swan," Lily said. "You are very nice. I like you."
+
+The swan nodded again and made more happy sounds. It stayed with Lily and her mom until they had to go home.
+
+Lily said goodbye to the swan and gave it a kiss. The swan kissed her back with its beak.
+
+"See you soon, swan," Lily said. "You are my new friend."
+
+The swan watched them leave and then swam back to the pond. It looked for its friends. The pond was empty. The other swans had gone to another place. The swan felt lonely.
+
+But then it remembered Lily and her mom. It remembered their kind words and their bread. It remembered their touch and their kiss.
+
+The swan felt happy. It had a new friend too.
+Lily and Max are brother and sister. They like to play together. One day, they get a new video from their mom. It is a video of funny animals. They want to watch it right away.
+
+But mom says they have to do their chores first. They have to clean their room and put away their toys. Lily and Max do not like chores. They have an idea. They hide the video under the sofa. They think mom will not find it there.
+
+They go to their room and pretend to clean. They make a lot of noise. They hope mom will think they are working hard. But mom is smart. She knows they are not really cleaning. She goes to the living room and looks for the video. She sees a corner of the video sticking out from under the sofa. She smiles.
+
+She takes the video and hides it in her closet. She waits for Lily and Max to finish their chores. After a while, Lily and Max come to the living room. They look under the sofa. They do not see the video. They are confused. They look around. They do not see the video anywhere.
+
+They ask mom, "Mom, where is our new video? We want to watch it now."
+
+Mom says, "I don't know. Maybe you lost it. Maybe you should have cleaned your room and put away your toys. Then you would know where your things are."
+
+Lily and Max feel sad. They realize they made a mistake. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We were naughty. We hid the video under the sofa. We did not do our chores. Can we have the video back, please?"
+
+Mom says, "I'm glad you are sorry. I have the video in my closet. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will do your chores first, and then watch the video. And you have to share the video and be nice to each other. Do you promise?"
+
+Lily and Max nod. They say, "We promise, mom. We will do our chores first, and then watch the video. And we will share the video and be nice to each other."
+
+Mom says, "Good. Now go and clean your room and put away your toys. Then you can watch the video of funny animals. I'm sure you will enjoy it."
+
+Lily and Max hug mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you."
+
+They go and do their chores. They do a good job. They make their room neat and tidy. They put away their toys. Then they come back to the living room. Mom gives them the video. They watch it together. They laugh and have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were going to visit their grandma at the ranch. They liked the ranch because it had many animals, like cows, horses, and chickens. They also liked to play with their grandma's dog, Spot.
+
+When they got to the ranch, they saw Spot waiting for them at the gate. He wagged his tail and barked happily. Lily and Ben ran to hug him and pet him. "Hi, Spot! We missed you!" they said.
+
+Spot led them to the barn, where their grandma was feeding the cows. She smiled and waved at them. "Hello, my sweeties! I'm so glad you're here!" she said. She gave them each a kiss and a hug. "Do you want to help me with the cows?"
+
+Lily nodded eagerly. She liked the cows. They were big and soft and made funny noises. She took a bucket of hay from her grandma and followed her to the cow pen. She poured some hay into a trough and watched the cows eat.
+
+Ben shook his head. He was nervous of the cows. They were too big and loud and had horns. He stayed behind his grandma and held her hand. He looked around for something else to do.
+
+He saw a horse in a stall. It was brown and had a long mane and tail. It looked friendly and calm. Ben liked horses. He wanted to pet the horse. He let go of his grandma's hand and walked slowly to the stall. He reached out his hand and said, "Hi, horse. Can I pet you, please?"
+Sam liked to play with fire. He had a box of matches that he found in the kitchen. He liked to watch the fire burn and make bright colors. But he did not know that fire was very hot and could hurt him.
+
+One day, he took the matches to his room and lit one on his bed. He saw the fire burn the blanket and the pillow. He thought it was fun. But then the fire grew bigger and bigger and started to burn the bed and the wall. Sam got scared and ran out of the room. He smelled smoke and heard a loud noise.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the noise too. They saw the fire and called for help. They took Sam outside and hugged him. They were angry and sad. They told Sam that fire was dangerous and he should never play with matches. They said he could have burned himself or the house.
+
+The firemen came and put out the fire. They checked Sam and saw that he had a small burn on his hand. They put some cream on it and wrapped it with a bandage. They said he was lucky and he should be careful. They gave him a massage on his hand and a sticker with a fire truck. They said he was brave and they were proud of him.
+
+Sam felt sorry and ashamed. He said he was sorry to Mom and Dad and the firemen. He said he would never play with fire again. He learned his lesson. He hugged Mom and Dad and thanked the firemen. He hoped they could fix his room and his bed. He wanted to be good and successful. He wanted to be a fireman when he grew up.
+Anna and Ben are young. They like to play with toys. They have a big box of toys in their room. They can pull out any toy they want.
+
+One day, they pull out a big, red car. It has four wheels and a horn. Anna and Ben want to play with the car. They take turns to push it and make it go. They have fun.
+
+But then, they see a small, green button on the car. They do not know what it does. They are curious. They want to press it.
+
+Anna says, "I will press it first." Ben says, "No, I will press it first." They both reach for the button. They start to pull the car. They pull hard. They pull harder. They pull too hard.
+
+The car breaks. The wheels fall off. The horn stops. The button pops out. Anna and Ben are sad. They broke their toy. They did not mean to.
+
+They hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She comes in and sees the broken car. She is not angry. She is normal. She says, "What happened here?"
+
+Anna and Ben tell her what they did. They say they are sorry. They ask her to fix the car.
+
+Mom says, "I will try to fix it. But you have to be careful with your toys. And you have to share. Do not pull them so hard. They can break."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They hug their mom. They say they love her. They say they will be good.
+
+Mom smiles. She hugs them back. She says she loves them. She says they are normal. She says they will find another toy to play with. She takes the broken car and leaves.
+
+Anna and Ben look at the box of toys. They see a lot of toys. They see a ball, a doll, a train, a book, and more. They wonder what they can do with them.
+
+They decide to play together. They do not pull. They share. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily liked to wander in the park with her mom. She saw many things: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people. She liked to say hello to everyone she met. But not everyone was happy to see her.
+
+One day, she saw a man who was jogging. He wore a red shirt and black shorts. He looked grumpy and sweaty. Lily ran after him and shouted, "Hello, jogger! Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The man did not stop or smile. He said, "No, go away, kid. You are bothering me. I am busy. Can't you see I am jogging?"
+
+Lily felt sad and confused. She did not understand why the man was so mean. She stopped and looked at him. He ran away and disappeared behind a corner.
+
+Lily's mom came and hugged her. She said, "Don't mind him, sweetie. He is not very nice. Some people are like that. They don't like to talk or play. They only care about themselves. But you are a good girl. You are friendly and curious. You like to make new friends. That is a wonderful thing."
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can we go and see the ducks now?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course, honey. Let's go and see the ducks. Maybe they will quack hello to you."
+
+They walked to the pond and saw many ducks. They were swimming and splashing and quacking. Lily threw some bread crumbs to them. They came closer and ate them. They looked happy and funny. Lily laughed and clapped her hands. She said, "Hello, ducks! Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The ducks quacked louder and nodded their heads. They seemed to say, "Yes, we want to play with you. You are a nice kid. You are not grumpy like the jogger. You are fun and kind. We like you."
+
+Lily was very happy. She forgot about the mean man. She had new friends. She said, "I like you too, ducks. You are the best. Can I come and see you again?"
+
+The ducks quacked again and nodded their heads. They seemed to say, "Yes, please come and see us again. We will always be here for you. You are welcome anytime."
+
+Lily hugged her mom and said, "This is a good day, mom. I love the park. I love the ducks. And I love you."
+
+Mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good day, too. You are my sunshine."
+Tom and Anna were playing with their toys in the garden. Tom had a large truck that made loud noises. Anna had a small doll that could talk and sing. Tom liked his truck very much. He thought it had a lot of power. He drove it around the grass and pretended to move dirt and rocks.
+
+"Look at my truck, Anna. It is so large and strong. It can do anything. It is the best toy ever. Do you want to play with it?" Tom asked.
+
+Anna looked at her doll and smiled. She liked her doll very much. She thought it had a lot of value. She hugged it and made it say hello and sing a song.
+
+"No, thank you, Tom. I like my doll. It is so sweet and smart. It can talk and sing. It is the best toy ever. Do you want to play with it?" Anna asked.
+
+Tom shook his head. He did not like dolls. He thought they were boring and silly. He did not see their value. He wanted to play with his truck.
+
+"No, thank you, Anna. I do not like dolls. They are boring and silly. They cannot do anything. They are not the best toys ever. My truck is the best toy ever. You should play with it." Tom said.
+
+Anna and Tom did not agree. They did not want to play with each other's toys. They did not understand why the other liked their toy so much. They did not see their power or their value. They turned away from each other and played with their own toys. They did not have fun. They felt lonely and sad.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big mouse. The mouse has a piece of cheese in its mouth. The cheese is soft and yellow.
+
+"Look, a mouse!" Lily says. "It has cheese!"
+
+"I want cheese too!" Tom says. "Let's get some!"
+
+They run after the mouse. The mouse is fast. It runs under a bench. Lily and Tom follow it. They bend down and look under the bench.
+
+"Hello, mouse!" Lily says. "Can we have some cheese?"
+
+The mouse looks at them. It is scared. It holds the cheese tight.
+
+"No, this is my cheese!" the mouse says. "I worked hard to gain it. Go away!"
+
+"Please, mouse, can we share?" Tom says. "We are hungry. We will be nice to you."
+
+The mouse thinks. It likes cheese, but it does not like to be alone. It decides to be kind.
+
+"Okay, you can have some cheese," the mouse says. "But only a little bit. And you have to be my friends."
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They smile and say thank you. They sit down next to the mouse. They break off a piece of cheese and eat it. The cheese is soft and tasty.
+
+They talk to the mouse. They learn its name is Max. They tell him their names and what they like to do. They find out they have many things in common. They laugh and have fun.
+
+Lily, Tom and Max become friends. They share the cheese and play in the park. They are glad they met each other. They learn that sharing is good and that gaining a friend is better than gaining a cheese.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Anna has a pink bike. Ben has a blue bike. They ride their bikes fast and have fun.
+
+One day, Anna sees a tall hill. She wants to go up the hill on her bike. She says to Ben, "Look, Ben, a tall hill! Let's go up the hill on our bikes!"
+
+Ben is scared. He says to Anna, "No, Anna, the hill is too tall. We might fall. Let's stay on the flat ground."
+
+Anna is brave. She says to Ben, "Don't be scared, Ben. I will support you. You can do it. Come on, follow me!"
+
+Anna pedals hard and goes up the hill. Ben pedals hard and follows her. They reach the top of the hill. They are happy. They see the whole park from the hill. They say to each other, "Wow, the park is so big and beautiful!"
+
+They smile and hug. They are proud of themselves. They go down the hill carefully and safely. They ride their bikes to the swings. They swing high and low. They laugh and sing. They are good friends. They support each other.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a tank. Ben liked to make loud noises with his tank and pretend to shoot things. Lily did not like the noise and wanted to play quietly with her doll.
+
+"Ben, stop making noise!" Lily said. "You are hurting my ears and my doll's ears!"
+
+"Shh, Lily, I am having fun!" Ben said. "My tank is strong and can shoot anything!"
+
+Ben drove his tank towards Lily's doll and pretended to shoot it. Lily got scared and angry. She grabbed her doll and threw it at Ben's tank. The doll hit the tank hard and made a loud crack. Ben's tank was broken. He started to cry.
+
+"Lily, why did you do that?" Ben sobbed. "You broke my tank! It was my favorite toy!"
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben. She did not mean to break his tank. She just wanted him to stop making noise. She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was mad at you, but I should not have thrown my doll. That was not nice. Can we share our toys and play nicely?"
+
+Ben hugged Lily back and said, "I'm sorry, too, Lily. I was not listening to you, and I was being too loud. That was not nice, either. Can we fix my tank and play together?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the broken tank. They saw that it had a big crack in the middle. They tried to put it back together, but it did not work. They felt sad. Then they had an idea. They got some tape and some paper and some crayons. They taped the tank back together and decorated it with paper and crayons. They made it look like a new tank. They were happy.
+
+They clapped their hands and said, "We did it! We fixed the tank! It looks even better than before!"
+
+They played with the tank and the doll together. They made up stories and had fun. They learned to be kind and share and listen to each other. They were good friends.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a cricket on a leaf. It was green and shiny.
+
+"Look, a cricket!" Anna said. "It can jump very high. Let's catch it and keep it as a pet."
+
+Ben nodded. He took a jar from his pocket. He tried to catch the cricket, but it jumped away. He ran after it.
+
+Anna found a piece of paper on the ground. She had an idea. She folded the paper and made a cone. She put the cone over the cricket. The cricket was trapped.
+
+"I got it!" Anna said. "Now we can wrap it and give it to Mommy as a present."
+
+Ben came back. He saw the paper cone. He was angry.
+
+"No, Anna, that's not nice!" Ben said. "The cricket needs air and space. It is not a toy. It is a living thing. You are ignorant. You don't know how to care for animals."
+
+Anna was sad. She didn't mean to hurt the cricket. She wanted to make Mommy happy.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna said. "I didn't know. Can we let it go?"
+
+Ben nodded. He took the paper cone and lifted it gently. The cricket jumped out and landed on a flower. It chirped happily.
+
+Anna and Ben smiled. They watched the cricket for a while. Then they went to find Mommy. They decided to give her a hug instead of a present. Mommy was happy. She hugged them back. She told them she loved them. And she loved the cricket too.
+Sara loved her doll very much. She named her doll Lily and played with her every day. Lily had a pink dress, blue eyes and yellow hair. Sara thought Lily was adorable.
+
+One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and Lily. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She left Lily on a bench and ran to the slide. She had fun sliding down and up again. She forgot about Lily for a while.
+
+When Sara remembered Lily, she ran back to the bench. But Lily was not there. Sara felt sad and scared. She looked around and saw a boy holding Lily. He was about to leave the park with his mom.
+
+Sara ran after the boy and shouted, "Stop! That's my doll! Give her back!" The boy looked at Sara and said, "No, this is my doll. I found her on the bench. She is adorable."
+
+Sara felt angry and tried to grab Lily from the boy. The boy pulled Lily away and they both started to cry. Their moms came and asked what was wrong. Sara and the boy told their stories.
+
+The moms looked at each other and said, "We have a problem. How can we solve it?" They thought for a moment and then had an idea. They said, "Why don't you both share the doll? You can take turns playing with her. That way, you can both enjoy her and be friends."
+
+Sara and the boy thought about it and agreed. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to play together with Lily and have fun. They learned that sharing is caring and that it is better to be kind than to fight.
+Tom is a boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a car, a ball, a bear and a phone. The phone is not a real phone, but a toy phone that makes sounds. Tom likes to pretend he is talking to his friends on the phone.
+
+One day, Tom is playing with his phone in his room. He hears a ring and picks up the phone. He says, "Hello, who is this?" He thinks it is one of his friends, but he does not know who.
+
+He hears a voice on the phone. The voice says, "Hi, Tom, this is your grandma. How are you?" Tom is surprised. He did not know his toy phone could talk to his grandma. He says, "Hi, grandma, I am fine. How are you?"
+
+His grandma says, "I am fine, too. I just wanted to say hello and tell you I love you. What are you doing?" Tom says, "I am playing with my phone. It is a toy phone, but it can talk to you. How can it do that?"
+
+His grandma says, "Well, Tom, it is a special phone. It is a phone that can connect to my phone. I have a phone like yours, too. I can call you anytime I want. Do you like that?" Tom says, "Yes, I like that. I love you, grandma. Can you call me again?"
+
+His grandma says, "Of course, I can. I will call you again soon. You have fun with your phone, Tom. Bye-bye." Tom says, "Bye-bye, grandma." He hangs up the phone and smiles. He thinks his phone is the best toy ever. He is happy.
+
+The next day, Tom is playing outside. It is a mild day, not too hot and not too cold. He has his phone with him. He hopes his grandma will call him again. He likes to talk to his grandma. She is nice and funny. He thinks she is the best grandma ever. He is happy.
+Anna and Ben like to play catch with a ball. They throw the ball to each other and try to catch it. Sometimes they miss and the ball rolls away. Then they run after it and start again.
+
+One day, they play catch in the park. They have a lot of fun. But then Ben throws the ball too hard and it goes over a fence. Anna wants to get the ball back. She climbs over the fence and looks for the ball.
+
+"Anna, come back!" Ben calls. "You can't go there. It's not safe."
+
+But Anna is stubborn. She does not listen to Ben. She wants the ball. She sees the ball under a big tree. She runs to the tree and bends down to pick up the ball.
+
+But she does not see a big root sticking out of the ground. She trips over the root and falls down. She hurts her knee. It bleeds and it hurts a lot. She cries.
+
+"Anna, are you okay?" Ben asks. He climbs over the fence and runs to Anna. He sees her knee and feels sorry for her. He gives her a hug and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I should not have thrown the ball so hard. Let me help you."
+
+He helps Anna stand up and walk back to the fence. He finds a band-aid in his pocket and puts it on her knee. He says, "There, that's better. Does it still hurt?"
+
+Anna nods. She says, "A little. But thank you, Ben. You are a good friend."
+
+Ben smiles. He says, "You're welcome, Anna. You are a good friend too. But next time, please listen to me. I don't want you to get hurt again."
+
+Anna nods. She says, "Okay, Ben. I will listen to you next time. And I'm sorry for being stubborn."
+
+They hug again and climb back over the fence. They find another ball and play catch again. They are careful and they have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Max love to race on the beach. They run as fast as they can to the water. They try to beat the wave that comes to the shore. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. They laugh and splash and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big crowd on the beach. They hear people cheering and clapping. They see a man with a camera and a microphone. They wonder what is happening.
+
+They run closer and see a famous person. He is a surfer. He rides the wave on a board. He does tricks and flips. He is very good. The people watch him and say wow.
+
+Lily and Max want to talk to him. They wait until he comes out of the water. They say hello and ask him his name. He smiles and says he is Kai. He asks them if they like to surf. They say they like to race the wave. He says that is cool. He says he can teach them how to surf if they want.
+
+Lily and Max are very happy. They say yes please. They follow Kai to his board. He gives them helmets and vests. He shows them how to stand and balance. He says they are ready to try. He takes them to the water. He helps them catch a wave. They feel the wind and the spray. They surf with Kai. They have a lot of fun. They make a new friend.
+Tom and Lily wanted to buy a new toy. They had some money in their piggy bank. They asked their mom if they could go to the store.
+
+"OK, but you have to be careful and come back soon," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily put on their coats and hats. They took their piggy bank and walked to the store. They saw many toys on the shelves. They liked the cars, the dolls, the balls, and the books.
+
+"Look, Lily, this is the toy I want!" Tom said, pointing to a big truck.
+
+"It's too big, Tom. We don't have enough money for that," Lily said.
+
+"How do you know? Let's guess how much it costs," Tom said.
+
+They looked at the price tag. It had some numbers and a sign. They did not know what they meant.
+
+"I guess it costs five money," Tom said.
+
+"I guess it costs ten money," Lily said.
+
+They opened their piggy bank and counted their money. They had six money.
+
+"We don't have enough money, Tom. Let's find another toy," Lily said.
+
+Tom was grumpy. He wanted the big truck. He did not want another toy.
+
+"No, I want this one. It's not fair," he said.
+
+He started to cry and shout. He threw his piggy bank on the floor. The money spilled out. The store owner came over. He was grumpy too.
+
+"What are you doing? You are making a mess. You have to pay for the truck or leave," he said.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know what to do. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had been nice to each other. They wished they had picked a toy they could afford.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with green needles. It was a pine tree.
+
+"Let's hug the pine tree!" Lily said. She ran to the tree and wrapped her arms around it. She felt the needles prick her skin. "Ouch!" she said.
+
+Ben laughed. He did not want to hug the pine tree. He wanted to play with the swings. He was impatient. "Come on, Lily, let's go to the swings!" he said.
+
+Lily did not want to leave the pine tree. She liked how it smelled and how it was tall and strong. She wanted to hug it more. "No, Ben, I want to hug the pine tree!" she said.
+
+They started to argue. They both wanted different things. They did not listen to each other. They raised their voices and made faces.
+
+A lady who was walking her dog saw them. She smiled and came over. She had kind eyes and a soft voice. "Hello, children, what are you doing?" she asked.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped arguing. They looked at the lady and the dog. The dog was brown and fluffy. It wagged its tail and licked their hands.
+
+"We are playing," Lily said.
+
+"But we want different things," Ben said.
+
+The lady nodded. She understood. She had an idea. "Why don't you take turns?" she suggested. "Lily, you can hug the pine tree for a little while, and then Ben, you can play with the swings for a little while. And then you can switch. That way, you can both have fun and share."
+
+Lily and Ben thought about it. They liked the idea. They agreed to try it. They thanked the lady and the dog. They gave them a hug.
+
+Then they took turns. Lily hugged the pine tree and Ben played with the swings. And then they switched. They had fun and shared. They were happy. They hugged each other. They were friends.
+Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the zoo with their moms. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They were very happy.
+
+At the zoo, there was a man who gave tours. He told stories about the animals and showed them cool things. He asked Lily and Sam if they wanted to join his tour. Lily said yes, but Sam said no. He wanted to play by himself.
+
+Lily followed the man and learned a lot. She saw how the lions hunted, how the monkeys climbed, and how the elephants sprayed water. She was very creative and asked many questions. The man liked her and gave her a sticker.
+
+Sam played by himself and got bored. He did not see anything new. He wished he had joined the tour. He saw Lily with her sticker and felt sad. He said sorry to Lily and asked if he could have a sticker too.
+
+Lily was kind and gave him a sticker. She told him what she learned and invited him to join the next tour. Sam said yes and thanked her. He learned to accept new things and have fun. They both smiled and hugged. Their moms were proud of them.
+One day, a bird and a cat saw a worm on the ground. The worm was dry and tired. The bird and the cat both wanted to eat the worm.
+
+"Give me the worm!" the bird said. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" the cat said. "I am bigger and stronger!"
+
+They started to fight over the worm. They pecked and scratched and bit each other. The worm was scared and sad.
+
+"Please, stop fighting!" the worm said. "You are hurting me and yourselves!"
+
+But the bird and the cat did not listen. They fought harder and harder. They did not see the dog that was coming.
+
+The dog saw the bird and the cat and the worm. The dog was hungry and mean. He barked and ran towards them.
+
+The bird and the cat heard the dog. They were afraid and surprised. They did not have time to run away.
+
+"Help!" the bird and the cat cried. "The dog will eat us!"
+
+The worm felt sorry for the bird and the cat. He had an idea.
+
+"Listen to me!" the worm said. "If you want to live, you have to surrender!"
+
+"Surrender?" the bird and the cat said. "What does that mean?"
+
+"It means you have to stop fighting and be friends," the worm said. "You have to share me and say sorry to each other."
+
+The bird and the cat thought about it. They did not want to die. They did not want to hurt the worm. They decided to surrender.
+
+"Okay, we surrender," the bird and the cat said. "We are sorry for fighting. We will share you and be friends."
+
+They said sorry to the worm and to each other. They took a small bite of the worm and left the rest for him. They thanked him for his kindness and wisdom.
+
+The dog saw the bird and the cat and the worm. He was angry and confused. He did not understand why they were not fighting. He did not like to share. He growled and turned away.
+
+The bird and the cat and the worm were happy and safe. They learned a lesson. They learned that fighting is bad and surrendering is good. They learned that sharing is better than being greedy. They learned that kindness is stronger than meanness.
+
+The end.
+Anna loved to play in the garden. She liked to look for bugs and flowers. One day, she found a fat caterpillar on a leaf. She picked it up and put it in a jar.
+
+"Hello, caterpillar," she said. "You are so fat and fuzzy. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The caterpillar did not say anything. It just crawled around the jar. Anna smiled and took it inside.
+
+She showed it to her mom and dad. They said it was a nice caterpillar, but it would soon change into a butterfly. Anna did not want that. She wanted to keep the caterpillar as it was.
+
+"I don't want it to change," she said. "I want to marry it and be happy."
+
+Her mom and dad laughed. They said she could not marry a caterpillar. They said she had to let it go when it was ready to fly. Anna did not like that. She hugged the jar and ran to her room.
+
+She put the jar on her window sill. She gave the caterpillar some leaves and water. She sang to it and told it stories. She said she loved it very much.
+
+The next morning, she woke up and looked at the jar. She gasped. The caterpillar was gone. In its place, there was a hard brown shell. Anna felt sad and angry. She thought the caterpillar had left her.
+
+She cried and threw the jar on the floor. It broke into pieces. She did not see the shell move and crack. She did not see the wings come out. She did not see the beautiful butterfly fly away.
+
+She only saw the broken jar and the empty leaf. She thought she had lost her friend forever. She did not know that the butterfly would come back and visit her. She did not know that the caterpillar had changed into something more wonderful. She did not know that the caterpillar had loved her too.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a fancy doll with a pink dress and a hat. Ben had a rhinoceros toy with a big horn and a gray skin. Sara liked her doll very much and did not want to share it with Ben. Ben liked his rhinoceros very much and did not want to share it with Sara.
+
+"Can I play with your doll?" Ben asked Sara.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sara said. "You can play with your rhinoceros."
+
+"Can I play with your rhinoceros?" Sara asked Ben.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben said. "You can play with your doll."
+
+Sara and Ben were not happy. They wanted to play with both toys, but they did not want to mix them. They sat on opposite sides of the room and looked at each other with angry faces.
+
+Mom came into the living room and saw Sara and Ben. She was sad to see them fighting over their toys. She had an idea to make them happy.
+
+"Children, why don't you try to mix your toys and make a new game?" Mom said. "Maybe you can pretend that your doll and your rhinoceros are friends and go on an adventure together."
+
+Sara and Ben looked at Mom and then at their toys. They thought that Mom's idea was silly, but they decided to give it a try. They brought their toys closer and started to mix them. They made the doll ride on the rhinoceros's back and pretend that they were exploring a jungle. They made the rhinoceros protect the doll from a snake and a lion. They made the doll sing a song to the rhinoceros and make him laugh.
+
+Sara and Ben had a lot of fun mixing their toys. They forgot about their anger and started to share and laugh. They realized that mixing their toys made their game more interesting and fun. They thanked Mom for her idea and hugged each other.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you learned to mix your toys and play together. Mixing is good, because it helps you to be creative and to make new friends. Remember, sharing is caring, and caring is loving."
+
+The end.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They observe many things in the park. They see birds, dogs, flowers and swings.
+
+One day, they find a new toy in the park. It is a big ball. It has many colors. It is shiny and round. Tom and Mia are curious. They want to play with the ball.
+
+"Can we play with the ball?" Tom asks Mia.
+
+"Sure, let's play with the ball!" Mia says.
+
+They take the ball and roll it on the grass. The ball makes a funny sound. It goes fast and slow. It changes direction. It bounces and spins. Tom and Mia laugh. They enjoy the motion of the ball.
+
+They play with the ball for a long time. They take turns to roll it and catch it. They are happy and tired. They sit on a bench and hug the ball.
+
+"This is a good ball," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, this is a good ball," Mia says.
+
+They look at the ball. They see their faces on the ball. The ball is shiny and round. The ball is dependable. It does not break or lose its color. It does not run away or hurt them. It is a good friend.
+
+Tom and Mia smile. They are happy. They have a new toy and a new friend. They love the ball. They thank the ball. They say goodbye to the ball. They put the ball back where they found it. They hope to see the ball again. They hold hands and walk home. They are friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They see a big, green bug. It has six legs and two wings. It crawls on a leaf.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bug!" Anna says.
+
+"Wow, a bug!" Ben says.
+
+They want to touch the bug. They crawl on the grass. They get closer to the leaf. The bug sees them. It flies away.
+
+"Oh, no, the bug is gone!" Anna says.
+
+"Where did it go?" Ben says.
+
+They look around. They see the bug on a flower. It rubs its legs. It makes a buzz sound.
+
+"There it is!" Anna says.
+
+"Let's catch it!" Ben says.
+
+They crawl to the flower. They reach out their hands. The bug flies away again.
+
+"Too fast!" Anna says.
+
+"Too smart!" Ben says.
+
+They laugh. They crawl back to their toys. They play with their cars and dolls. They forget about the bug. They have fun.
+Lily loved to play in the pool with her toy duck. She liked to make it swim and splash in the water. She also liked to dive under the water and look for other toys that her mom hid for her.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big toy fish at the bottom of the pool. She wanted to get it, but it was very deep. She asked her mom if she could dive for it.
+
+"Are you sure, Lily? It is very far. You have to hold your breath for a long time," her mom said.
+
+"I can do it, mom. I am a big girl. I want the fish," Lily said.
+
+"Okay, Lily. But be careful. And come up when you need air," her mom said.
+
+Lily took a deep breath and dove into the water. She swam as fast as she could, and reached for the fish. She grabbed it with her hand and felt happy. She turned around and swam back to the surface. She broke the water and gasped for air.
+
+"Look, mom! I got the fish!" Lily shouted, holding the toy fish in the air.
+
+"Wow, Lily! You did it! You are amazing! I am so proud of you!" her mom said, hugging her.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her mom back. She felt proud of herself too. She had done something hard and fun. She had a new toy to play with. She had a great day in the pool.
+Sara loves to rock on her rocking horse. She pretends she is a cowgirl and rides fast and slow. She makes noises like a horse and a cow. She has a lot of fun.
+
+One day, daddy comes home from work. He is bald and wears glasses. He is very tired. He sees Sara rocking on her horse and smiles. He says, "Hello, my little cowgirl. Can I join you?"
+
+Sara is happy to see daddy. She says, "Yes, daddy. You can be my cowboy. But you need a hat and a horse."
+
+Daddy laughs and says, "OK, let me find a hat and a horse." He looks around the room and sees a big pillow and a baseball cap. He puts the cap on his head and the pillow under his arm. He says, "Look, I have a hat and a horse. Can I rock with you?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "Yes, daddy. You can rock with me. But be careful. Your horse is very soft and your hat is very small."
+
+Daddy says, "That's OK. I don't mind. I just want to rock with you and have fun." He sits on the floor next to Sara and rocks his pillow. He makes noises like a horse and a cowboy. He says, "Yee-haw!"
+
+Sara and daddy rock together and laugh. They have a lot of fun. They are happy.
+Lily loved to sing. She sang every day, in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang to her dolls, to her dog, and to her mom and dad. She sang happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs. She sang so well that everyone who heard her smiled and clapped.
+
+One day, a man came to Lily's house. He wore a suit and a hat and carried a big bag. He said he was a music teacher and he wanted to hear Lily sing. Lily's mom and dad said yes, and Lily sang for the man. The man was amazed by Lily's voice. He said she was very talented and he wanted to teach her more songs. He said he could make her a star and a wealthy girl.
+
+Lily was excited. She liked the idea of learning more songs and being a star. She asked the man what she had to do. The man said she had to go with him to a big city, where he had a studio and a stage. He said he would give her a contract and a lot of money. He said he would also give her juice and candy and toys.
+
+Lily thought about it. She liked juice and candy and toys, but she also liked her home and her family and her dog. She asked the man if she could bring them with her. The man said no, she had to go alone. He said they would only distract her and slow her down. He said she had to choose between them and her dream.
+
+Lily felt sad. She didn't want to leave her home and her family and her dog. She didn't want to lose them for money and fame. She loved them more than anything. She looked at the man and said, "No, thank you. I don't want to go with you. I want to stay here and sing for the people I love. They are my dream."
+
+The man was angry. He said Lily was foolish and ungrateful. He said she was wasting her gift and her chance. He said he would find another girl who would do what he said. He grabbed his bag and left in a hurry.
+
+Lily hugged her mom and dad and her dog. She said she was sorry for making them worry. She said she was happy with what she had. She said she didn't need to be wealthy to be happy. She said she only needed to sing. And she did. She sang a song of joy and gratitude. And everyone who heard her smiled and clapped.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog behind a fence. The dog was barking and growling. Tom and Lily were scared and ran away.
+
+"Why are you so loud?" a voice asked. It was the dog's owner, a kind lady. She came out of the house and opened the fence. "Don't be afraid, this is Rex. He is a good dog, but he is lonely. He wants to play with you."
+
+Tom and Lily stopped and looked at the dog. He was still barking, but his tail was wagging. The lady smiled and said, "Rex is just excited to see you. He won't hurt you. He likes children. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+Tom and Lily were curious, but they were still scared. They trembled and stayed back. The lady was patient and said, "It's okay, take your time. Rex will calm down if you talk to him softly. He likes to hear your names and what you like to do. He is a good listener."
+
+Tom and Lily decided to try. They walked slowly to the fence and said hello to Rex. They told him their names and what they liked to play. Rex stopped barking and listened. He licked their hands and wagged his tail. Tom and Lily felt happy and petted him. They made a new friend.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't judge by appearances. Sometimes, things that seem scary are actually friendly. Be brave and kind, and you might find a new friend.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their drums. They have two drums, one big and one small. They bang on the drums with their hands and sticks. They make loud noises and have fun.
+
+One day, their mom says, "Tom and Lily, it is time to clean up. Put your drums and sticks in the box." Tom and Lily are obedient. They do what their mom says. They pick up their drums and sticks and walk to the box.
+
+But on the way, they see a cat. The cat is black and white and has green eyes. The cat is curious. It jumps on the big drum and makes a sound. Tom and Lily laugh. They want to play with the cat.
+
+They forget about the box. They drop their drums and sticks on the floor. They scatter them everywhere. They run to the cat and try to catch it. The cat is fast and clever. It dodges and runs away. It knocks over a vase and a lamp. It makes a mess.
+
+Their mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is going on. She sees the drums and sticks and the cat and the vase and the lamp. She is not happy. She says, "Tom and Lily, what are you doing? Look at this mess! You did not clean up. You did not listen to me. You are not obedient."
+
+Tom and Lily feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to play with the cat. It was fun. But we made a mess. We will clean up now. We will be obedient."
+
+Their mom says, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. I know you like to play with your drums. But you have to follow the rules. You have to clean up after you play. You have to listen to me. Then you can play with the cat. But be careful. The cat does not like loud noises. It does not like your rhythm."
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They say, "We understand, mom. We will be careful. We will be quiet. We will be obedient." They hug their mom and say, "We love you, mom."
+
+Their mom smiles. She says, "I love you, too, Tom and Lily. Now, let's clean up together. Then we can have a snack. And maybe we can play with the cat later. But only if it wants to."
+Anna and Elsa loved to play in the snow. They made snowmen, snowballs and snow forts. They also liked to watch the reindeer that lived near their castle. The reindeer had big antlers, soft fur and warm noses.
+
+One day, Anna and Elsa saw a new reindeer. He was smaller than the others and had a red nose that glowed. He looked shy and lonely. Anna and Elsa wanted to be his friends.
+
+"Hello, little reindeer," Anna said. "What is your name?"
+
+The reindeer looked at Anna and Elsa with his big brown eyes. He said, "My name is Rudolph. I came from far away. The other reindeer don't like me because of my nose. They say it is too bright and it burns their eyes."
+
+"That's not nice," Elsa said. "We like your nose. It is clear and beautiful. It makes you special."
+
+"Really?" Rudolph said. "You don't think it is weird?"
+
+"No, we think it is wonderful," Anna said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Rudolph smiled and nodded. He felt happy and accepted. He followed Anna and Elsa to their snow fort. They had fun playing and laughing. They shared carrots and cookies. They became good friends.
+
+Rudolph learned that his nose was not a curse, but a gift. He could light up the dark and guide the way. He also learned that there were people who cared for him and liked him for who he was. He was not alone anymore. He was part of a family.
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play at the beach. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They wanted to make a sand castle.
+
+"Look, Tim, I found a big shell!" Sam said. He showed Tim the shell. It was shiny and had many colors.
+
+"Wow, that's a nice shell, Sam. Can I see it?" Tim asked. He reached for the shell.
+
+"No, it's mine! I found it first!" Sam said. He pulled the shell away from Tim.
+
+"Please, Sam, let me see it. Just for a moment. I won't take it from you," Tim said. He tried to be nice.
+
+"No, no, no! Go away, Tim! Find your own shell!" Sam said. He was mean. He ran away from Tim with the shell.
+
+Tim was sad. He wanted to play with Sam and the shell. He followed Sam. He saw Sam put the shell in the bucket. He saw Sam carry the bucket to the water.
+
+"Sam, wait! Don't do that!" Tim shouted. He knew the water would take the shell away.
+
+But Sam did not listen. He threw the bucket in the water. He wanted to see the shell splash.
+
+But the water was tough. It did not splash. It grabbed the bucket and the shell. It pulled them far away.
+
+Sam was shocked. He lost the bucket and the shell. He cried.
+
+"Sam, I'm sorry. I tried to warn you," Tim said. He felt sorry for Sam.
+
+But Sam was angry. He blamed Tim. He pushed Tim to the ground. He said, "It's your fault! You made me lose the bucket and the shell! I hate you!"
+
+Tim was hurt. He did not understand why Sam was so mean. He cried too.
+
+They did not make a sand castle. They did not have fun. They had a bad day at the beach.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big lemon tree. They want to try the lemons.
+
+"Look, Ben, lemons!" Sam says. "They are yellow and round. They must be sweet and juicy."
+
+"Let's pick some, Sam," Ben says. "We can work together and reach the high ones."
+
+They work hard and pick some lemons. They are happy and proud. They sit under the tree and peel the lemons.
+
+"Ready, Sam?" Ben says. "Let's eat the lemons!"
+
+They take a big bite of the lemons. But they do not like them. The lemons are sour, not sweet. They make their faces twist and their mouths pucker.
+
+"Yuck, Ben, these lemons are sour!" Sam says. "They are not good to eat. They hurt my tongue."
+
+"Me too, Sam," Ben says. "These lemons are not True. They are bad and mean. They tricked us."
+
+They throw away the lemons and run away. They do not want to play with the lemons anymore. They look for something else to play with. Something True and nice. Like a ball or a kite.
+Anna liked to go to the park with her mom. She liked to see the ducks, the flowers, and the swings. But her favorite thing was the pond. She liked to watch the fish and the frogs in the water.
+
+One day, she saw something new in the pond. It was brown and furry, and it had a long tail. It was an otter. Anna wanted to meet the otter. She ran to the edge of the pond and called, "Hello, otter! Do you want to play?"
+
+But the otter did not hear her. The otter was deaf. He could not hear any sounds. He only used his eyes and his nose to find his way. He did not know that Anna was there.
+
+Anna was sad. She thought the otter did not like her. She went back to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't be sad, Anna. The otter is not mean. He is just different. He can't hear you, but he can see you. Maybe you can find another way to say hello to him."
+
+Anna thought for a moment. She remembered that she had some bread in her bag. She took a piece and broke it into small bits. She went back to the pond and threw the bits into the water. The otter smelled the bread and came closer. He saw Anna smiling and waving. He ate the bread and waved back with his tail.
+
+Anna was happy. She had met the otter. She learned that even if someone is different, they can still be friends. She learned that there are many ways to communicate, not just with words. She learned to be kind and patient with others. She and the otter played for a while, and then said goodbye. Anna hoped to see the otter again soon.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big bear that their grandma gave them. The bear was soft and brown and had a red bow on its neck. Ben and Lily loved to hug the bear and pretend it was their friend.
+
+One night, when their mom was reading them a story, they heard a loud noise from their closet. They looked and saw a scary monster with big teeth and claws. The monster growled and reached for their bear. Ben and Lily were very afraid and screamed for their mom.
+
+"Mom, help! There's a monster in our closet!" they cried.
+
+Their mom heard them and ran to their room. She turned on the light and saw the monster. It was not a real monster, but a big dog that had sneaked into their house. The dog had torn the bear's ear and was chewing on it.
+
+"Bad dog! Go away!" their mom shouted. She grabbed the dog by its collar and dragged it out of the room. She closed the door and locked it. She hugged Ben and Lily and told them it was okay.
+
+"I'm sorry, my darlings. That was a naughty dog that wanted to play with your bear. But it didn't know how to be gentle. It's gone now. You're safe," she said.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at their bear and saw its ear was ripped. They felt sad and angry. They loved their bear and didn't want it to be hurt.
+
+"Mom, can you fix our bear?" they asked.
+
+Their mom nodded and smiled. She was a compassionate mom who knew how to sew. She took the bear and a needle and some thread. She sewed the ear back on and made it look good as new. She gave the bear back to Ben and Lily and kissed them.
+
+"There you go. Your bear is all better. He's still your friend. He's very brave and strong. He loves you very much," she said.
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and thanked their mom. They hugged their bear and felt happy. They said good night to their mom and cuddled with their bear. They fell asleep and dreamed of nice things. The monster was gone and their bear was fine. They were safe and loved.
+Lily liked to pretend she was a butterfly. She had a dress with wings that she wore when she played. She would flap her arms and run around the garden, looking for flowers. She felt happy and free.
+
+One day, she saw a real butterfly on a pink flower. It was furry and had spots on its wings. Lily wanted to be friends with it. She ran towards it, flapping her arms. But the butterfly flew away. Lily felt sad and stopped.
+
+She heard a soft sound behind her. She turned around and saw a furry kitten. It was black and white and had blue eyes. It meowed and rubbed its head on Lily's leg. Lily smiled and picked it up. She hugged it and stroked its fur.
+
+The kitten liked Lily. It purred and licked her face. Lily felt happy again. She said, "You can be my butterfly friend. We can play together." She put the kitten on her shoulder and flapped her arms. The kitten held on and meowed. They ran around the garden, looking for flowers. They felt happy and free.
+Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big tent. They want to enter the tent and see what is inside.
+
+"Can we go in?" Lila asks Tom.
+
+"OK, but be quiet. Maybe someone is sleeping in there," Tom says.
+
+They enter the tent. It is dark and warm. They see a big bed, a lamp, and a bag. They hear a snore.
+
+"Look, there is a bag. Maybe there is something fun in there," Lila says.
+
+She opens the bag. She finds a sweater, a hat, and a scarf. She puts them on.
+
+"Wow, you look funny," Tom says.
+
+He laughs. He sees a book in the bag. He picks it up. He tries to read it.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, who are you? What are you doing in my tent?" the voice says.
+
+They see a man. He is angry. He has a beard and a hat. He is the owner of the tent.
+
+Lila and Tom are scared. They drop the bag and the book. They run out of the tent.
+
+"Sorry, sorry, we did not know," they say.
+
+They run back to their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She sees them.
+
+"What happened? Why are you so fast?" she asks.
+
+Lila and Tom tell her what they did. They say they are sorry. They say they will not enter other people's tents again.
+
+Mom hugs them. She says it is OK. She says they should be careful and respectful.
+
+She also says they should take off the sweater, the hat, and the scarf. They are too warm for them.
+
+Lila takes them off. She feels an itch on her neck. She scratches it.
+
+"Ouch, what is this?" she says.
+
+She sees a red spot. She has a rash.
+
+Mom looks at her. She says she is allergic to wool. She says they should go home and put some cream on it.
+
+Lila and Tom nod. They say goodbye to the park. They go home with mom. They hope the itch will go away soon.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the yard. One day, they see a big box. They want to make a house with the box.
+
+"Let's cut a door and a window," Tom says.
+
+"OK, and I will draw a roof on top," Sam says.
+
+They use scissors and markers to make the house. They are happy.
+
+But then, Lily comes. Lily is Tom's sister. She is not nice. She sees the house and kicks it. The box falls down. The door and the window break. The roof is gone.
+
+"Hey, stop it!" Tom shouts.
+
+"That's our house! Go away!" Sam cries.
+
+Lily laughs. She does not care. She runs away.
+
+Tom and Sam are sad. They look at the broken house. They feel bad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam," Tom says.
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Tom," Sam says.
+
+They hug each other. They are still friends.
+
+They decide to make a new house. They find another box. They ask Mom for tape and glue. They work hard.
+
+They make a better house. It has a door, a window, and a roof. The roof is strong. It does not fall off.
+
+They are happy again.
+
+They see Lily. She is bored. She has no one to play with.
+
+"Can I join you?" she asks.
+
+Tom and Sam think. They remember how Lily broke their house. They are angry.
+
+But they also remember how they felt sorry. They are kind.
+
+"OK, you can join us," Tom says.
+
+"But you have to be nice," Sam says.
+
+Lily nods. She says sorry. She helps them decorate the house. She plays with them.
+
+They have fun. They are friends.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with toys and books and games. They also liked to learn about space. They had a big poster of the stars and planets on their wall.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom decided to celebrate their friendship. They made a cake with their mom and put candles on it. They also made cards and drawings for each other. They were very happy.
+
+They wanted to share their cake and cards with their other friends. They put on their coats and hats and went outside. They saw a big truck parked on the street. It had a picture of a rocket on it. They were curious.
+
+"Look, Tom, a rocket!" Lily said. "Maybe it can take us to space!"
+
+"Let's go and see!" Tom said. They ran towards the truck. They did not see the sign that said "Danger. Do not enter."
+
+They opened the door of the truck and climbed inside. They saw a lot of buttons and wires and screens. They thought it was a game. They started to press the buttons and pull the wires.
+
+Suddenly, the truck started to make a loud noise. It shook and smoked. It was not a game. It was a real rocket. It was about to launch.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily and Tom screamed. They tried to get out, but the door was locked. They were scared.
+
+The truck lifted off the ground and flew into the sky. It went faster and faster. It left the earth and went into space. Lily and Tom cried and hugged each other. They were alone and lost.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be alert and careful. Do not go into places that are not safe. Listen to your parents and teachers. They know what is best for you.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many apples. The apples are red and yellow and look yummy.
+
+"Let's pick some apples!" Tom says. He runs to the tree and climbs up. He picks a yellow apple and bites it. "Mmm, this is good!"
+
+Mia follows him and reaches for a red apple. But Tom stops her. "No, no, no! You can't have a red apple. Red apples are for me. You can only have yellow apples. Yellow apples are for you."
+
+Mia feels sad and angry. She wants a red apple too. She thinks red apples are prettier and sweeter than yellow apples. She frowns and says, "That's not fair, Tom. You are being mean. We should share the apples. Apples are for everyone."
+
+Tom shakes his head. He does not want to share. He thinks yellow apples are not as good as red apples. He frowns and says, "No, no, no! You are being silly, Mia. You don't know what you are talking about. Yellow apples are for you. Red apples are for me."
+
+They start to argue and shout. They forget to have fun. They forget to be nice.
+
+Then, they hear a loud noise. They look down and see a big dog. The dog is hungry and smells the apples. The dog jumps and barks. He wants to eat the apples.
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They drop the apples and climb down. They run away from the dog. They lose the apples.
+
+They feel sad and sorry. They wish they had shared the apples. They wish they had been kind.
+
+They hug and say, "I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, Mia. You are my friend. I love you."
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn to share and be kind. They learn that apples are for everyone. They learn that red and yellow are both beautiful.
+Lily liked her scarf very much. It was red and soft and warm. Her grandma made it for her birthday. Lily thought her grandma was very thoughtful.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy playing with a ball. He looked cold and sad. Lily wanted to be nice to him. She ran to him and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The boy looked at Lily and smiled. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Yes, I want to play with you. You have a nice scarf. Can I touch it?"
+
+Lily nodded and let Ben touch her scarf. He felt it and said, "It's so soft and warm. Can I have it?"
+
+Lily was surprised. She said, "No, you can't have it. It's mine. My grandma made it for me."
+
+Ben frowned and said, "But I'm cold and I don't have a scarf. You have to share with me. That's what nice people do."
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, I don't have to share with you. You can't own my scarf. It's special to me."
+
+Ben got angry and said, "Fine, then I'll take it from you." He grabbed Lily's scarf and pulled it hard. Lily screamed and tried to hold on to it. But Ben was stronger and he ripped the scarf from Lily's neck. He ran away with it, laughing.
+
+Lily cried and ran to her mom. She told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm so sorry, Lily. That was very mean of him. He shouldn't have taken your scarf. He should have asked nicely or found his own scarf."
+
+Lily sobbed and said, "But I liked my scarf. It was from grandma. I want it back."
+
+Her mom said, "I know, honey. I liked it too. But I don't think we can get it back. He's gone now. Maybe we can make another scarf with grandma. But it won't be the same."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "It won't be the same. I miss my scarf. I miss grandma. I wish Ben was more thoughtful."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They wear warm coats, hats, gloves and scarves. Anna has a red scarf and Ben has a blue scarf.
+
+One day, they see a big snowman in the park. He has a carrot nose, coal eyes and a stick mouth. He also has a green scarf around his neck.
+
+"Wow, look at the snowman!" Anna says. "He is so big and funny!"
+
+"Let's go and say hello to him!" Ben says. They run to the snowman and touch his nose, eyes and mouth.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Anna says. "We like your scarf. It is very pretty."
+
+"Thank you, little girl!" the snowman says. "You are very kind. I like your scarf too. It is very bright."
+
+"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Ben says. "We like your scarf. It is very cool."
+
+"Thank you, little boy!" the snowman says. "You are very nice. I like your scarf too. It is very calm."
+
+The snowman smiles and says, "Do you want to play a game with me?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+"OK, the game is called choose. I will ask you a question and you have to choose one answer. If you choose right, you get a hug. If you choose wrong, you get a tickle. Are you ready?"
+
+"Yes, we are ready!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+"OK, here is the first question. Which animal is slow: a rabbit or a snail?"
+
+Anna and Ben think for a moment. They know the answer.
+
+"A snail is slow!" they say together.
+
+"Very good!" the snowman says. "You choose right. Come here and get a hug."
+
+Anna and Ben run to the snowman and hug him. He is very cold and soft.
+
+"Here is the second question. Which color is warm: yellow or blue?"
+
+Anna and Ben think again. They know the answer.
+
+"Yellow is warm!" they say together.
+
+"Very good!" the snowman says. "You choose right again. Come here and get another hug."
+
+Anna and Ben run to the snowman and hug him again. He is still very cold and soft.
+
+"Here is the third and last question. Which scarf do you like more: mine or yours?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at the scarves. They like them all.
+
+"That is a hard question!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says.
+
+They think for a long time. They don't want to hurt the snowman's feelings.
+
+"Can we choose both?" they ask.
+
+The snowman laughs and says, "Of course you can! You are very smart and sweet. You choose the best answer. Come here and get a big hug."
+
+Anna and Ben run to the snowman and hug him with all their strength. He is very cold and soft and happy.
+
+They play with the snowman until it is time to go home. They say goodbye and thank him for the game.
+
+"Goodbye, Mr. Snowman!" Anna says. "We had a lot of fun with you. We hope to see you again."
+
+"Goodbye, Mr. Snowman!" Ben says. "We had a great time with you. We hope you stay warm."
+
+"Goodbye, Anna and Ben!" the snowman says. "You are wonderful friends. I hope you come back soon."
+
+They wave to the snowman and walk away. They hold their scarves and smile. They choose a good day.
+Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people. They liked to observe everything and ask questions.
+
+"Mom, what is that big thing over there?" Ben asked, pointing to a tall crane. The crane was lifting some boxes and putting them on a truck.
+
+"That is a crane, Ben. It is a machine that helps people move heavy things. It has a long arm and a hook. Do you see the hook?" Mom explained.
+
+"Yes, I see the hook. It is like a big claw. Can I touch it?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, Ben, you cannot touch it. It is not safe. The crane is working. You have to stay away from it. You can watch it from here, but do not go near it." Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom. I will watch it from here. It is very tall. It is taller than the trees. How does it get so tall?" Ben asked.
+
+"It has a part that can go up and down. It is called a telescopic boom. It can make the arm longer or shorter. Do you see how it changes?" Mom said.
+
+"Yes, I see. It is like a big slide. It is very cool. I like the crane." Ben said.
+
+Lily was also watching the crane. She liked the colors. The crane was yellow and red. She thought it was pretty. She wanted to draw it.
+
+"Mom, can I have some paper and crayons? I want to draw the crane." Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, Lily. Here you go. You can draw the crane. What colors will you use?" Mom asked.
+
+"I will use yellow and red. And some blue for the sky. And some green for the grass. And some brown for the truck. And some pink for the flowers. And some purple for the birds. And some orange for the sun. And some..." Lily said.
+
+Lily talked a lot. She liked to use many colors. She drew a beautiful picture of the crane and the park. She showed it to Mom and Ben.
+
+"Look, Mom. Look, Ben. This is my picture of the crane. Do you like it?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom and Ben looked at the picture. They smiled. They liked it very much.
+
+"It is a wonderful picture, Lily. You are very good at drawing. You observed the crane very well. You used all the colors. It is very pretty." Mom said.
+
+"I like your picture, Lily. It is very nice. You made the crane look happy. It is smiling. Can I have a picture too?" Ben asked.
+
+"OK, Ben. I will draw you a picture too. What do you want me to draw?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea.
+
+"Can you draw me a picture of me and you and Mom riding on the crane?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily laughed. She thought it was a funny idea. She nodded.
+
+"OK, Ben. I will draw that. It will be fun. We will ride on the crane. We will go up and down. We will see everything. We will wave to the people. We will be happy." Lily said.
+
+Lily drew another picture. She used more colors. She drew Ben and her and Mom on the crane. They were smiling and waving. They looked happy.
+
+She showed the picture to Mom and Ben. They laughed. They liked it very much.
+
+"It is a funny picture, Lily. You are very creative. You imagined us on the crane. It looks like fun. Thank you for the picture." Mom said.
+
+"I love your picture, Lily. It is very cool. You made us look happy. Thank you for the picture." Ben said.
+
+They hugged Lily. They hugged Mom. They were happy. They observed the crane. They drew the crane. They imagined the crane. They had fun. They loved each other.
+Lily wanted to give her mom a present for her birthday. She had made a picture of her family with crayons and stickers. She was very proud of it. She looked for something to wrap it with. She saw a folder on the table. It was blue and shiny. She thought it would make a nice wrap.
+
+She took the folder and opened it. Inside, there were some papers with big words and numbers. She did not know what they were. She did not care. She took them out and threw them on the floor. She put her picture inside the folder and closed it. She smiled. She had wrapped her present.
+
+She ran to the living room, where her mom was sitting on the couch. She shouted, "Mom, mom, I have a present for you! Happy birthday!"
+
+Her mom looked surprised and happy. She said, "Thank you, Lily, that's very sweet of you. What is it?"
+
+Lily handed her the folder. She said, "It's a picture of us. I made it for you. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom opened the folder and saw the picture. She gasped. It was beautiful. She saw Lily, her dad, their dog, and herself. They all had big smiles and colorful clothes. She hugged Lily and said, "I love it, Lily. It's the best present ever. I love you, too."
+
+Lily was happy. She had made her mom happy. She did not notice the papers on the floor. They were very important and fragile. They were her mom's work papers. She had to send them to her boss today. But Lily did not know that. She only knew that she had wrapped her present.
+Tom is a dog. He likes to play with his human, Sam. Sam is important to Tom. He gives him food, water, and hugs. Sometimes, Sam also gives him toys.
+
+One day, Sam brings home a big box. He says it is a gift for Tom. He puts it on the floor and tells Tom to wait. He goes to get something from another room. Tom is curious. He sniffs the box. He hears a noise inside. He wants to see what it is.
+
+Tom scratches the box. He makes a hole. He sees something shiny and soft. He pulls it out. It is a blanket. It has many colors and shapes. Tom likes it. He thinks it is a toy. He shakes it and runs around with it.
+
+Sam comes back. He sees Tom with the blanket. He is not happy. He says, "Tom, no! That is not your toy. That is a wrap. I got it for your grandma. She is sick and cold. She needs it to feel better. It is important. You ruined it!"
+
+Tom does not understand. He thinks Sam is angry with him. He drops the blanket and runs to his bed. He feels sad and sorry. He wants Sam to love him.
+
+Sam sees Tom's face. He feels bad. He knows Tom did not mean to do wrong. He goes to Tom and hugs him. He says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was not angry with you. I was angry with myself. I should have hidden the box better. You are a good dog. You are important to me. I love you."
+
+Tom wags his tail. He feels happy and loved. He licks Sam's face. He says, "I love you, too. I'm sorry, too. I did not know it was a wrap. I did not know it was for grandma. I hope she feels better."
+
+Sam smiles. He says, "It's okay, Tom. We can fix the wrap. We can sew it or patch it. We can make it look nice again. We can still give it to grandma. She will love it. She will love you, too. You are a good dog. You are a good gift."
+Lily and Sam were twins. They liked to play with water. One day, they went to a restaurant with Mom and Dad. The restaurant had a big fountain outside. Lily and Sam wanted to see the fountain.
+
+"Can we go to the fountain, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but only for a minute. And don't get wet," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Sam ran to the fountain. They saw the water go up and down. They saw the fish swim in the water. They saw the coins shine in the water.
+
+"Look, Sam, a coin!" Lily said. She reached for the coin. But she slipped and fell into the water. Splash!
+
+Lily was wet and cold. She cried. Sam was scared. He ran to Mom and Dad.
+
+"Mom, Dad, Lily fell into the fountain!" Sam said.
+
+Mom and Dad ran to the fountain. They saw Lily in the water. They pulled her out. They wrapped her in a towel. They hugged her.
+
+"Lily, are you OK?" Mom asked.
+
+"I'm OK, Mom. But I'm sorry. I wanted the coin," Lily said.
+
+"It's OK, Lily. But you have to be careful. The fountain is not for playing. It's for looking," Mom said.
+
+"I know, Mom. I'm sorry," Lily said.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled. They took Lily and Sam to the restaurant. They gave them some warm soup. They gave them some ice cream. They gave them some hugs.
+
+Lily and Sam were happy. They learned a lesson. They said thank you to Mom and Dad. They said sorry to the fountain. They said goodbye to the fish. They said hello to the coin. They said they loved each other. They said they loved water. But only a little.
+Jenny loved to swim in the pool. She wore her pretty pink swimsuit and her goggles. She liked to splash and dive and float. She was happy.
+
+But Tommy did not like to swim. He was scared of the water. He wore his blue shorts and his hat. He liked to sit and watch and play with his toys. He was bored.
+
+One day, Jenny asked Tommy to swim with her. She said, "Come on, Tommy, it's fun! You can use my floatie and I can teach you how to swim."
+
+But Tommy shook his head. He said, "No, Jenny, I don't want to. The water is cold and deep and scary. I like to stay dry and safe."
+
+Jenny was sad. She wanted to share her fun with Tommy. She thought of a plan. She said, "Okay, Tommy, I understand. But can you do me a favor? Can you push me into the water? It will make me go faster and I will have more fun."
+
+Tommy was curious. He said, "Push you? How do I do that?"
+
+Jenny said, "Just stand behind me and use your hands to push me forward. It's easy and fun. You will see."
+
+Tommy agreed. He stood behind Jenny and put his hands on her back. He said, "Are you ready, Jenny?"
+
+Jenny said, "Yes, Tommy, I'm ready. Push me hard!"
+
+Tommy pushed Jenny hard. But he pushed too hard. He lost his balance and fell into the water with Jenny. He was wet and cold and scared. He cried and screamed.
+
+Jenny was surprised. She saw Tommy in the water with her. She swam to him and grabbed his hand. She said, "Don't worry, Tommy, I'm here. You're okay. You can swim with me."
+
+Tommy was still scared. But he felt Jenny's hand and heard her voice. He calmed down a little. He said, "Jenny, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you so hard. I didn't mean to fall in the water. I don't like it."
+
+Jenny said, "It's okay, Tommy. It was an accident. But you know what? You did it. You pushed me and you swam with me. You're brave and strong. And you know what else? It's not so scary. It's fun. Look, you can splash and dive and float. Just like me."
+
+Tommy looked around. He saw the water and the sun and the toys. He felt the floatie and the goggles. He smiled a little. He said, "Maybe you're right, Jenny. Maybe it's not so scary. Maybe it's fun. Can you teach me how to swim?"
+
+Jenny said, "Of course, Tommy. I'm happy to teach you how to swim. You're my friend. And friends swim together."
+
+They hugged and laughed and swam. They were happy.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide. Anna is scared.
+
+"Come on, Anna, it is fun!" Tom says.
+
+"No, Tom, it is too high. I do not want to go." Anna says.
+
+Tom does not listen. He runs to the slide. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide. He slides down very fast.
+
+"Wow, that was great!" Tom says. He laughs.
+
+Anna watches Tom. She feels sad. She wants to try the slide too. She walks to the ladder. She climbs up slowly. She sits on the slide. She looks down. She is afraid.
+
+"Help, Tom, help!" Anna cries.
+
+Tom hears Anna. He runs to the slide. He sees Anna. He is sorry.
+
+"Anna, do not worry. I am here. You can do it." Tom says.
+
+Anna looks at Tom. She trusts him. She slides down slowly. She reaches the bottom. She is happy.
+
+"Tom, I did it! I did it!" Anna says. She hugs Tom.
+
+Tom hugs Anna back. He is proud of her.
+
+"Anna, you are brave. I am sorry I made you scared. I regret it." Tom says.
+
+Anna smiles. She forgives him.
+
+"Tom, you are a good friend. I do not regret it." Anna says.
+
+They hold hands. They go to play some more. They are noisy. They are happy.
+Mia and Ben liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had a big box of toys with cars, dolls, balls and books. One day, they found a shiny thing in the grass. It was a crystal. It sparkled in the sun and had many colors.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Mia said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I see?" Ben asked. He took the crystal from Mia and held it in his hand. He saw a rainbow in the crystal.
+
+"It is like magic!" Ben said. "Let's set it on the table and make a game with it."
+
+Mia and Ben ran to the table and set the crystal on it. They took some of their toys and put them around the crystal. They pretended that the crystal was a treasure and the toys were the guards.
+
+"I am the king and this is my treasure!" Ben said. He wore a crown made of paper and a cape made of a towel.
+
+"I am the queen and this is my treasure too!" Mia said. She wore a necklace made of beads and a skirt made of a scarf.
+
+They played with their toys and the crystal for a long time. They had a lot of fun and made up stories. They were very jolly and laughed a lot. They did not see that their mom was watching them from the window. She smiled and thought that they were very clever and creative. She was proud of them.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They have long, curly hair. They love to play with their hair and make funny shapes. But their mom says they need a haircut. She says their hair is too messy and gets in their eyes.
+
+Anna and Ben do not want a haircut. They cry and hide under the bed. They say they love their hair and do not want to change it. Their mom tries to be nice and says they can choose their haircut. She shows them pictures of different haircuts. Some are short, some are long, some are straight, some are curly.
+
+Anna and Ben look at the pictures. They see one haircut that is orange. They like orange. It is their favorite color. They point at the orange haircut and say they want it. Their mom is surprised. She says the orange haircut is not their natural color. She says they have to dye their hair to make it orange. She says dye is not good for their hair. She says they should keep their hair the way it is.
+
+Anna and Ben do not listen. They say they want the orange haircut. They say it is fun and cool. They say they do not care about dye. They say they want to be different. Their mom sighs and says okay. She takes them to the salon and asks for the orange haircut.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They sit in the chairs and watch their hair turn orange. They smile and laugh. They think they look awesome. They thank their mom and run outside to show their friends.
+
+But their friends do not like their orange haircut. They say it is weird and ugly. They say it does not match their skin or clothes. They say it makes them look like clowns. They laugh and tease them. Anna and Ben feel sad and hurt. They do not understand why their friends are mean. They do not feel awesome anymore. They wish they had their old hair back.
+
+They run back to their mom and hug her. They say they are sorry. They say they made a mistake. They say they do not like their orange haircut. They say they want their natural hair. They say they learned their lesson. They say they should be happy with what they have and not try to be something they are not.
+
+Their mom hugs them back. She says she loves them no matter what. She says she is proud of them for being honest and brave. She says she will help them fix their hair. She says they can grow it out or cut it short. She says they can choose their haircut, but they should choose it for themselves, not for others. She says they are beautiful the way they are.
+
+Anna and Ben smile and nod. They say they understand. They say they love their mom and their hair. They say they will be more careful next time. They say they will be more respectful of their friends and their differences. They say they will be more grateful for their gifts and their choices. They say they learned a lot from their orange haircut.
+Tom and Anna are best friends. They like to play with their toys together. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big red truck. The truck can make loud noises and move fast.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna are playing with the truck in the park. They see a boy with a shiny bike. The boy sees their truck and says, "That truck is old and boring. My bike is new and cool. Do you want to trade?"
+
+Tom and Anna look at each other. They love their truck, but the bike looks fun too. They discuss what to do.
+
+"I want to try the bike," Tom says. "Maybe we can trade for a little while."
+
+"I don't want to trade," Anna says. "The truck is ours. We have fun with it. The boy might break it or keep it."
+
+Tom and Anna are not sure. They ask the boy, "How long can we trade for? Will you be careful with our truck?"
+
+The boy says, "You can trade for as long as you want. I will be nice to your truck. Don't worry."
+
+Tom and Anna think about it. They decide to trust the boy. They give him their truck and take his bike. They ride the bike around the park. They have fun, but they miss their truck.
+
+They go back to the boy and say, "We want our truck back. Can we have it, please?"
+
+The boy says, "No, I like your truck. It is mine now. You can keep the bike. It is yours now."
+
+Tom and Anna are sad and angry. They say, "That is not fair. You said we can trade for as long as we want. You lied to us. Give us our truck back."
+
+The boy says, "No, I won't. Go away."
+
+Tom and Anna don't know what to do. They need help. They see a lady with a badge. She is a park ranger. They run to her and tell her what happened.
+
+The park ranger listens to them. She says, "That is not nice of the boy. He should keep his word. The truck is yours. You have the right to get it back. The bike is his. He has the right to keep it. Let me talk to him."
+
+The park ranger goes to the boy and talks to him. She explains to him the value of honesty and respect. She tells him to give back the truck and take back the bike. She tells him to apologize to Tom and Anna.
+
+The boy listens to the park ranger. He realizes he was wrong. He feels sorry. He gives back the truck and takes back the bike. He says, "I'm sorry, Tom and Anna. I was mean to you. I should have kept my promise. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Tom and Anna are happy to get their truck back. They are also kind. They say, "We forgive you. Thank you for saying sorry. Maybe we can play together another day."
+
+The boy smiles and says, "Thank you for forgiving me. Maybe we can be friends. I like your truck. It is very cool."
+
+Tom and Anna smile and say, "We like your bike. It is very shiny."
+
+They all laugh and play together. They learn a lesson. They learn to be honest, respectful, and dependable. They learn to value their toys and their friends.
+Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play outside in the snow. One day, they saw a big snowman in their neighbor's yard. It had a hat, a scarf, and a carrot nose.
+
+"Let's go and see the snowman!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't touch it. It's not ours." Tom said.
+
+They ran across the street and looked at the snowman. It was very tall and round. Lily wanted to touch its nose. She reached out her hand, but she was clumsy. She slipped on the ice and bumped into the snowman. The snowman wobbled and fell down. The hat, the scarf, and the carrot nose flew away.
+
+"Oh no! What have you done?" Tom shouted.
+
+Lily started to cry. She was sorry and scared. The neighbor came out of his house. He saw the mess and frowned.
+
+"Who did this to my snowman?" He asked.
+
+Tom and Lily were quiet. They did not know what to say.
+
+The neighbor looked at them and sighed. He was not angry. He was sad.
+
+"I worked hard to make this snowman. It was a gift for my grandson. He is coming to visit me today. He loves snowmen. But now it's gone. How can I make him happy?" He said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt bad. They wanted to help.
+
+"We are sorry, sir. We did not mean to break your snowman. It was an accident. Can we help you make a new one?" Tom said.
+
+The neighbor smiled. He was kind.
+
+"Thank you, children. That is very nice of you. Yes, you can help me. But first, you have to learn a lesson. Do you know what it is?" He said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They knew.
+
+"We have to keep our hands to ourselves. We have to respect other people's things. We have to be careful and not clumsy." They said.
+
+The neighbor nodded. He was proud.
+
+"That's right. You are good children. Come on, let's go and make a new snowman. And then we can have some hot chocolate and cookies. How does that sound?" He said.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They were happy.
+
+They followed the neighbor and helped him make a new snowman. It was even bigger and better than the old one. They gave it a hat, a scarf, and a carrot nose. They also gave it a smile and two buttons for eyes.
+
+When the neighbor's grandson came, he was very happy. He hugged the snowman and thanked Tom and Lily. They became friends and played together in the snow.
+
+Tom and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned to keep their hands to themselves, to respect other people's things, and to be careful and not clumsy. They also learned to be kind and helpful. They had a fun and warm winter.
+Anna was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent. She could brush her teeth, tie her shoes, and pack her bag for school. She also liked to choose her own clothes and hair style.
+
+One day, she decided she wanted to cut her hair. She took a pair of scissors and went to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and started to snip her hair. She cut it short and uneven. She thought she looked very pretty.
+
+She went to show her mom. Her mom was shocked. She said, "Anna, what did you do to your hair? It looks very messy. You need to go to the barber and fix it."
+
+Anna did not want to go to the barber. She said, "No, mom, I like my hair. I did it by myself. I am independent."
+
+Her mom said, "I know you are independent, Anna, but sometimes you need help from others. The barber is a nice man who knows how to cut hair. He will make your hair look neat and cute. You can still choose how you want your hair to look, but he will do it better than you. Please, let's go to the barber."
+
+Anna thought about it. She did not want to make her mom sad. She also wanted to look nice for school. She agreed to go to the barber. She said, "Okay, mom, I will go to the barber. But I still want my hair short."
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "That's fine, Anna. You can have your hair short. Come on, let's go."
+
+They went to the barber. The barber was a friendly man who greeted them with a smile. He said, "Hello, Anna. What can I do for you today?"
+
+Anna said, "I want my hair short, but not messy. Can you do that?"
+
+The barber said, "Of course, I can do that. You have very nice hair. I will make it look beautiful. Just sit here and relax."
+
+He put a cape around Anna and started to cut her hair. He was gentle and careful. He made her hair look even and smooth. He also gave her a little bow to match her dress.
+
+He said, "There you go, Anna. You look lovely. Do you like your hair?"
+
+Anna looked at herself in the mirror. She liked her hair. It was short, but not messy. It was neat and cute. She smiled. She said, "Thank you, barber. I like my hair. You did a good job."
+
+The barber smiled. He said, "You're welcome, Anna. You are a very independent and brave girl. I'm glad you like your hair."
+
+Anna's mom smiled. She said, "Thank you, barber. You are very kind and skilled. Anna looks wonderful."
+
+She paid the barber and gave him a tip. She took Anna's hand and they left the barber shop. They walked home happily. Anna felt proud of herself. She was independent, but she also learned to accept help from others. She also learned to smile.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with tools. They have hammers, saws, nails and wood. They want to make a house for their toys.
+
+"Look, I have a big hammer!" Tom says. He holds the hammer high. He is eager to use it.
+
+"Be careful, Tom. That is a sharp tool. You can hurt yourself or me," Sam says. He points to the saw. "We need this tool to cut the wood. Then we can nail it together."
+
+"OK, Sam. You cut the wood and I nail it. We will make a good house," Tom says. He puts the hammer down. He helps Sam with the saw.
+
+They work hard. They cut and nail the wood. They make four walls and a roof. They are happy with their house.
+
+"Wow, our house is done!" Tom says. He points to the house. "It is big and strong. Our toys will love it."
+
+"Yes, it is. We are good builders," Sam says. He smiles. He points to their tools. "We should put them away. They are not toys. They are tools. We only use them when we make something."
+
+"OK, Sam. You are right. We should be safe and tidy," Tom says. He nods. He picks up the hammer. He follows Sam to the shed. They put their tools away.
+
+They go back to their house. They bring their toys. They play inside the house. They have fun. They are proud of their house. They are good friends.
+Tom and Mia like to play in the garden. They dig and plant and water the flowers. One day, they notice something in the soil. It is dull and hard and round. Tom picks it up and shows it to Mia.
+
+"What is it?" Mia asks.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is a rock."
+
+They look at it more. It has some marks on it. They are not pretty. They are like scratches.
+
+"Maybe it is a coin," Mia says. "Maybe someone lost it here a long time ago."
+
+They rub it with their fingers. It does not shine. It is still dull.
+
+"Maybe it is not a coin," Tom says. "Maybe it is something else."
+
+They wonder what it is. They take it to their mom. She knows many things.
+
+"Mom, look what we found in the garden," they say. "What is it?"
+
+Mom looks at it. She smiles.
+
+"It is a button," she says. "A very old button. It used to be on someone's coat or shirt. Maybe it fell off when they were working or playing in the garden."
+
+"Wow," Tom and Mia say. "A button. That is cool."
+
+They are happy. They found something old and interesting in the soil. They keep it as a treasure. They wonder who it belonged to and what stories it could tell.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big tree with many green things hanging from it. They were vines. Lily and Ben wanted to touch them.
+
+"Look, Ben, vines!" Lily said. "Let's go and see them."
+
+"OK, Lily, let's go!" Ben said. They ran to the tree and reached for the vines. They felt soft and smooth. They pulled them and swung them. They had fun.
+
+But then, they heard a funny noise. It was a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big lion on the tree. He was angry. He did not like them playing with his vines.
+
+"Roar! Go away, little ones! These are my vines!" the lion said.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They let go of the vines and ran away. They did not want to play with the lion. They ran to their mom and dad and told them what they saw.
+
+"Mom, dad, we saw a lion on the tree!" Lily said.
+
+"A lion? In our garden?" mom said.
+
+"Yes, mom, a big and angry lion. He roared at us. He said the vines were his." Ben said.
+
+Mom and dad looked at each other. They did not believe them. They thought they were making up a story.
+
+"Lily, Ben, there are no lions in our garden. You must have imagined it. Maybe it was a big cat or a bird." dad said.
+
+"No, dad, it was a lion. We are not lying. Come and see." Lily said.
+
+"OK, OK, we will come and see. But we don't think there is a lion." mom said.
+
+They all went to the tree. But when they got there, they did not see a lion. They only saw vines. The lion was gone.
+
+"See, mom, dad, these are the vines we played with. But where is the lion?" Ben said.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe he ran away. Or maybe he was never here." mom said.
+
+"Maybe he was hiding. Or maybe he was a magic lion. Or maybe he was a funny lion who liked to play tricks." Lily said.
+
+They all laughed. They did not know what to think. They decided to leave the vines alone. They did not want to bother the lion. They went back to play in the garden. They had other things to discover.
+Lily liked to question everything. She always asked why, how, what, and who. She wanted to know about the world and the things in it. One day, she saw a pigeon on the street. She ran to it and said, "Hello, pigeon! What are you doing?"
+
+The pigeon looked at Lily and cooed. It was eating some bread crumbs that someone had thrown. It did not want to talk to Lily. It wanted to eat and fly away. But Lily did not understand. She kept asking the pigeon questions. "Where do you live? How do you fly? Do you have a name? Do you have friends?"
+
+The pigeon got annoyed. It thought Lily was crazy. It did not like so many questions. It flapped its wings and tried to scare Lily away. But Lily was not scared. She thought the pigeon was playing with her. She laughed and clapped her hands. She said, "You are funny, pigeon! Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The pigeon did not want to play. It wanted to be left alone. It flew away from Lily and landed on a roof. It hoped Lily would not follow. But Lily did not give up. She said, "Wait, pigeon! Come back! I have more questions for you!"
+
+Lily ran after the pigeon. She did not see the cars and the people and the dogs on the street. She only saw the pigeon. She was so curious. She wanted to know more. She did not know that she was in danger. She did not know that the pigeon did not care. She did not know that some questions have no answers.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch videos. They have a lot of videos, but their favorite one is about a cute bunny. The bunny has big ears and a fluffy tail. He likes to hop and eat carrots.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben want to watch the bunny video. They ask their mom if they can. Mom says yes, but they have to hurry. They have to go to the park soon. Sara and Ben run to the TV. They look for the bunny video. They see a lot of videos, but not the bunny one. Where is it?
+
+They look under the couch, behind the curtains, in the drawers. They can't find it. They start to feel sad. They want to watch the bunny video. They ask their mom for help. Mom says she will help, but they have to hurry. They have to go to the park soon.
+
+Mom looks for the bunny video. She sees a lot of videos, but not the bunny one. She thinks for a moment. She remembers something. She goes to the kitchen. She opens the fridge. She sees the bunny video. It is next to the milk and the cheese. She smiles. She knows who put it there.
+
+She takes the bunny video and goes to the TV. She gives it to Sara and Ben. They are happy. They hug their mom and say thank you. They put the bunny video in the TV. They watch the cute bunny hop and eat carrots. They laugh and clap. They enjoy the video, but they have to hurry. They have to go to the park soon.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and draw pictures. One day, they draw pictures of their grandma, who lives far away in another land. They want to send their pictures to grandma, so she can see them and be happy.
+
+They ask their mom, "Can we mail our pictures to grandma?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can. That is very nice of you. Let me help you put them in an envelope and write her address."
+
+Mom helps them write grandma's name and address on the envelope. She also puts a stamp on it. She says, "Now we have to go to the mailbox and put the envelope inside. Then the mailman will take it to grandma's land."
+
+Lily and Ben are excited. They put on their shoes and coats and follow mom to the mailbox. They see a fat, yellow cat sitting on the mailbox. The cat looks at them and meows.
+
+"Hello, cat," Lily says. "We are mailing pictures to our grandma. Do you want to see them?"
+
+The cat shakes its head and jumps off the mailbox. It runs away.
+
+"Bye, cat," Ben says. "Maybe you have a grandma too."
+
+Lily and Ben put the envelope in the mailbox. They hope grandma will like their pictures. They wave to the mailbox and say, "Bye, bye, pictures. Have a good trip to grandma's land."
+Tom and Anna liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had a big box of toys with cars, dolls, balls and books. One day, they found a small bird in the grass. The bird was fragile and could not fly. It had a broken wing.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Tom said. "Can we keep it?"
+
+"No, we can't," Anna said. "It needs help. We have to return it to its nest."
+
+They looked around and saw a big tree with a nest on a high branch. They put the bird in a basket and tied a rope to it. They tried to pull the basket up to the nest.
+
+"Be careful, Tom," Anna said. "Don't drop the bird."
+
+"I won't," Tom said. "I want to hear its song."
+
+But the rope was too thin and the basket was too heavy. The rope snapped and the basket fell to the ground. The bird was crushed by the toys. It did not make a sound.
+
+"Oh no, oh no!" Anna cried. "We killed the bird!"
+
+Tom and Anna felt very sad and sorry. They buried the bird in the garden and said a prayer. They did not play with their toys for a long time. They learned a hard lesson. They should have left the bird alone.
+One day, Tom and his dog Spot went for a walk in the park. Tom liked to lead Spot with a blue rope. Spot liked to sniff the flowers and chase the birds. They had a lot of fun together.
+
+But then, Tom saw a big gate with a sign that said "Keep Out". He was curious and wanted to see what was behind the gate. He let go of the rope and ran to the gate. Spot followed him and barked.
+
+Tom pushed the gate and it opened. He saw a big house with many windows and a garden. He wanted to explore the house and the garden. He did not see the lock on the gate. He did not hear the click when the gate closed behind him.
+
+Spot saw the lock and he was scared. He knew they were trapped. He tried to bite the lock and pull the gate. He barked louder and louder. He hoped someone would hear him and help them.
+
+A lady heard Spot's barks and came to the gate. She saw Tom and Spot inside. She was compassionate and kind. She had a key and opened the lock. She let them out and gave them a hug. She told Tom not to go inside the gate again. She said it was dangerous and not for children or dogs. Tom said he was sorry and thanked the lady. He took the rope and lead Spot back to the park. He learned his lesson and never went near the gate again.
+Ben and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toy guns and pretend to be mighty heroes. They also liked to chew gum and make big bubbles with their mouths.
+
+One day, they found a new pack of gum in Ben's mom's purse. It was shiny and red and had a picture of a firework on it. Ben and Sam thought it was a special gum that would make their bubbles bigger and louder.
+
+"Let's try it!" Ben said. He opened the pack and gave one to Sam. They put the gum in their mouths and started to chew.
+
+"Wow, this gum is spicy!" Sam said. He felt his tongue burn and his eyes water.
+
+"Maybe it will make our bubbles more fun!" Ben said. He blew a bubble and waited for it to pop.
+
+But the bubble did not pop. It grew bigger and bigger until it covered Ben's face. Sam heard a hissing sound and saw smoke coming out of the bubble.
+
+"Ben, are you okay?" Sam asked. He was scared and wanted to help his friend.
+
+But before he could do anything, the bubble exploded with a loud bang. It shot pieces of gum and fire all over the room. Ben screamed and fell to the floor. His face was red and sticky and hurt a lot.
+
+Sam ran to Ben and tried to hug him. But Ben pushed him away and cried.
+
+"Go away! You gave me the bad gum! You are not my friend anymore!" Ben said.
+
+Sam felt sad and sorry. He did not mean to hurt Ben. He did not know the gum was bad. He wished he could make Ben happy again.
+
+But it was too late. The gum had ruined their friendship and their fun. Sam ran out of the room and cried too. He wished he had never seen the gum. He wished he had never tried to shoot a bubble.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings, slide on the slides, and climb on the poles. One day, they see a new pole in the park. It is very tall and shiny. It has a big red button on top. Sara and Ben are curious. They want to know what the pole does.
+
+They run to the pole and look at it. It is mysterious. They wonder if it is a toy or a machine. They wonder if it makes a sound or a light. They wonder if it is fun or dangerous. Sara wants to press the button. She thinks it will be exciting. Ben does not want to press the button. He thinks it will be scary. They start to argue.
+
+"Let me press it!" Sara says. She tries to reach the button.
+
+"No, don't press it!" Ben says. He tries to pull Sara away.
+
+They tug and pull and shout. They do not see the man who is watching them. He is wearing a white coat and holding a clipboard. He has a smile on his face. He is the one who put the pole in the park. He is doing an experiment. He wants to see what the children will do.
+
+He writes something on his clipboard. He presses a button on his pocket. The pole makes a loud beep. Sara and Ben stop fighting. They look at the pole. They see a bright flash. They feel a tickle. They start to laugh. They do not know what the pole did. They do not know that the man changed them. He swapped their bodies. Now Sara is in Ben's body and Ben is in Sara's body. He thinks it is funny. He thinks it is interesting. He thinks it is science.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They share a bedroom. They have many toys in their bedroom. They like to play with their toys.

+
+Lily sees Tom with the truck. She wants the truck too. She says, "That is my truck. Give it to me." She tries to grab the truck from Tom.
+
+Tom says, "No, it is my truck. I found it first. Go away." He holds the truck tight and pushes Lily away.
+
+Lily cries. She runs to their mom. She says, "Mom, Tom is mean. He took my truck and he pushed me. He is not a loyal brother."
+
+Mom comes to the bedroom. She sees Tom with the truck and Lily with tears. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a toy?"
+
+Tom says, "This is my truck. I found it in the bedroom. It is mine."
+
+Lily says, "No, it is my truck. It was a gift from grandma. She gave it to me for my birthday. It is mine."
+
+Mom says, "Oh, I see. This is a misunderstanding. This truck belongs to Lily. Grandma gave it to her for her birthday. But she forgot to put a tag on it. She left it in the bedroom for Lily to find. Tom, you did not know that. You thought it was a new toy for you. But it is not. You have to give it back to Lily. She is your sister. You have to be loyal to her and share with her."
+
+Tom feels sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Lily. I did not know it was your truck. Here, you can have it. I am sorry I pushed you. You are my sister. I love you."
+
+Lily smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. I love you too. You are my brother. You can play with my truck too. We can share it."
+
+Mom hugs them both. She says, "I am proud of you. You are loyal and kind to each other. Now, let's go and have some cookies."
+Anna loves books. She likes to look at the pictures and hear the stories. Sometimes, she goes to the library with her mom. The library has many books. Anna can choose some books to take home. She can lend the books for a few days.
+
+One day, Anna sees a black book on the shelf. It has a big cat on the cover. Anna likes cats. She wants to lend the black book. She asks her mom to help her. Her mom says yes. They go to the desk and give the book to the lady. The lady scans the book and gives it back to Anna. She says Anna can keep the book for one week.
+
+Anna is happy. She hugs the black book. She says thank you to the lady. She and her mom go home. Anna can't wait to read the black book. She hopes the story is about the big cat. She wonders what the cat's name is and what it does. She thinks the black book is very special.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play pretend. Sometimes they pretend to be singers at the opera. They use a big box as a stage and a hairbrush as a microphone.
+
+One day, they find a new dress and a hat in their mom's closet. They both want to wear them for their opera show. They start to fight over the dress and the hat.
+
+"Give me the dress! I am the star of the opera!" Lily says.
+
+"No, I want the dress! I have a better voice than you!" Max says.
+
+They pull and tug on the dress and the hat. They make a lot of noise.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the closet. She sees the mess they made. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop fighting, you two! You can't wear my dress and hat. They are not for playing. They are for a special occasion." Mom says.
+
+She takes the dress and the hat from them. She puts them back in the closet. She gives them each a hug.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. We just wanted to be singers." Lily says.
+
+"Me too, Mom. We didn't mean to make a mess." Max says.
+
+Mom smiles. She has an idea.
+
+"Why don't you wear these costumes instead? They are from an old opera I used to watch. They are available for you to play with." Mom says.
+
+She shows them a box of colorful clothes and accessories. There are dresses, capes, hats, masks, and jewels. Lily and Max are excited. They thank Mom and pick their costumes.
+
+They go back to their stage and sing their opera. They don't fight anymore. They have fun. Mom watches them and claps. She is proud of them.
+Lily was a nosy cat. She liked to see what everyone was doing in the house. She followed Mom to the kitchen, Dad to the garage, and Sam to his room. She wanted to play with everything she saw.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new thing on the table. It was round and red and shiny. Lily jumped on the table and sniffed it. It smelled spicy. Lily licked it. It was hot! Lily sneezed and ran away. She did not like the new thing. It was a pepper.
+
+Lily ran to the couch and hid under a pillow. She felt her tongue burn. She wanted some water. She heard Mom come to the living room. She peeked out from the pillow. Mom saw her and smiled.
+
+"Did you try the pepper, Lily?" Mom asked. "It's too hot for you. You need some milk to cool down."
+
+Mom picked up Lily and carried her to the kitchen. She poured some milk in a bowl and put it on the floor. Lily drank the milk. It felt good. She purred and rubbed her head on Mom's leg.
+
+"Good girl, Lily," Mom said. "Now you can relax on the couch. But no more peppers, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and followed Mom to the couch. She curled up on a soft blanket and closed her eyes. She was not nosy anymore. She was happy.
+Anna and her mom went to the store. Anna wanted to buy a new toy. She saw a black car with big wheels. She liked the car very much.
+
+"Mom, can I buy this car?" Anna asked.
+
+"Let me see, honey. How much is it?" Mom said.
+
+She looked at the price tag. It was too much money. Mom shook her head.
+
+"Sorry, Anna, this car is too expensive. We can't buy it today. Maybe another time," Mom said.
+
+Anna felt sad. She really wanted the black car. She put it back on the shelf. She looked around for another toy.
+
+She saw a red ball. It was shiny and round. It was not too expensive. Anna picked up the ball.
+
+"Mom, can I buy this ball?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. That's a nice ball. Let's go pay for it," Mom said.
+
+Anna smiled. She was happy. She liked the ball too. She followed Mom to the cashier.
+
+It was a hot day. The sun was bright and warm. Anna and Mom walked outside. Anna bounced her ball on the sidewalk. It made a funny sound.
+
+"Boing, boing, boing," Anna said.
+
+She laughed. She threw the ball in the air and caught it. She had fun with her ball.
+
+"Look, Mom, I can bounce my ball high!" Anna said.
+
+"I see, honey. You're very good at it. But be careful, don't let it go too far," Mom said.
+
+Anna nodded. She played with her ball all the way home. She forgot about the black car. She was happy with her ball.
+Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But sometimes they are not nice to each other. They fight over the toys and the remote. Mom and Dad are not happy when they do that. They tell them to behave and share.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad have to work from home. They have a big network of people who talk to them on the computer. They need to be quiet and focus. They tell Tim and Mia to play nicely in their room and not to bother them.
+
+Tim and Mia try to do that. But they get bored soon. They want to see what Mom and Dad are doing. They sneak out of their room and go to the office. They see the computer with many faces on it. They think it is funny. They want to talk to the faces too.
+
+They climb on the chair and press some buttons. The faces disappear. Mom and Dad are angry. They hear a loud noise. They run to the office. They see Tim and Mia on the floor. The chair is broken. The computer is off. The network is gone.
+
+Tim and Mia are clumsy. They broke the chair and the computer. They made Mom and Dad lose their work. They are very sorry. They say sorry to Mom and Dad and to the faces. Mom and Dad are sad and mad. They tell Tim and Mia to go to their room and think about what they did. They say they need to behave better and respect their things. Tim and Mia nod and go to their room. They hug each other and promise to be nicer. They hope Mom and Dad can fix the computer and the network. They hope the faces are not mad at them too.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with red fruits. Lily wanted to try one. She asked Tom to help her reach a fruit.
+
+"Can you lift me up, Tom? I want to eat a fruit. They look yummy," Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily. I will help you. But be careful. Maybe they are not good to eat," Tom said.
+
+Tom lifted Lily up. She grabbed a fruit and bit it. She made a face. The fruit was bitter. It was not yummy at all. She spit it out.
+
+"Yuck! This fruit is bitter. It is a bad fruit. I don't like it," Lily said.
+
+"I told you to be careful, Lily. Maybe this is not a fruit. Maybe it is a word. A word that we don't know. A word that is not nice," Tom said.
+
+Lily and Tom threw the fruit away. They decided to play with something else. They did not want to eat any more words. They wanted to eat something sweet.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park when it started to rain. They ran to the shelter near the swings, but it was filthy. There was mud, trash, and bugs everywhere.
+
+"Yuck! I don't want to stay here!" Lily said.
+
+"Me neither. But we can't go home. Mommy told us to wait here until she comes back," Ben said.
+
+They looked around and saw a big cardboard box in the corner. It was dry and clean.
+
+"Let's go there!" Lily said.
+
+They crawled inside the box and made it their fort. They pretended they were pirates and had a treasure map.
+
+They were having fun until they heard a loud bark. A big, scary dog was outside the box, sniffing and growling.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben shouted.
+
+They were very afraid. The dog wanted to get inside their fort.
+
+They heard a horn and saw Mommy's car. She got out and saw the dog.
+
+"Shoo! Shoo! Go away!" she told the dog.
+
+The dog ran away. Mommy hugged Lily and Ben.
+
+"Are you okay, my sweeties?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, Mommy. We are okay. But we don't like the shelter. It's filthy," Lily said.
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves. I had to go to the store and it took longer than I thought. Come on, let's go home. You can have a bath and a snack," Mommy said.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They got in the car and waved goodbye to their fort. They hoped the dog would not come back.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big balloon that was floating in the air. It was red and shiny and had a string. They wanted to catch it and play with it.
+
+"Let's get the balloon!" Tom said. He ran after the balloon and pulled the string. The balloon came down and Tom held it in his hands. He smiled and showed it to Lily.
+
+"Wow, you got it!" Lily said. She came closer and touched the balloon. It was soft and round and made a funny noise when she squeezed it. She liked the balloon too.
+
+"Can I have it for a while?" Lily asked. She reached for the balloon.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Tom said. He pulled the balloon away from Lily. He did not want to share it. He wanted to keep it for himself.
+
+"That's not fair!" Lily said. She was angry and sad. She wanted to play with the balloon too. She tried to grab the balloon from Tom.
+
+They started to fight over the balloon. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the sharp rock that was on the ground. The rock poked the balloon and made a loud pop. The balloon burst and the air inside came out. The air was oxygen. The oxygen went up and away. The balloon was gone.
+
+Tom and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at the empty string and the broken pieces of the balloon. They felt sorry and silly. They had ruined the balloon. They had wasted the oxygen. They had hurt each other.
+
+They looked at each other and said sorry. They hugged and made up. They learned their lesson. They learned that sharing is better than fighting. They learned that balloons are fragile and oxygen is precious. They learned that friendship is more important than a heavy balloon.
+Sara is a big girl. She likes to do things by herself. She is independent. She does not need help from Mom or Dad. She can tie her shoes, brush her teeth, and make her bed.
+
+One day, Sara wants to go to the park. She asks Mom if she can go. Mom says yes, but she has to take her little brother Ben with her. Ben is only two. He needs help from Sara. He cannot tie his shoes, brush his teeth, or make his bed.
+
+Sara is not happy. She does not want to take Ben. She wants to go by herself. She thinks Ben will slow her down. She thinks Ben will cry and whine. She thinks Ben will spoil her fun.
+
+But Mom says she has to. She says Sara is the big sister. She says Sara has to lead Ben and take care of him. She says Sara has to be nice and share. She says Sara has to be responsible.
+
+Sara sighs. She puts on her shoes and coat. She helps Ben put on his shoes and coat. She holds his hand and leads him to the park. She tries to be nice and share. She tries to be responsible.
+
+At the park, Sara sees a big slide. She loves the slide. She wants to go on it. She tells Ben to wait for her. She runs to the slide and climbs up. She slides down fast and laughs. She feels free and happy.
+
+But then she hears Ben cry. She looks back and sees him on the ground. He has fallen and scraped his knee. He is bleeding and scared. He calls for Sara. He needs her help.
+
+Sara feels bad. She runs to Ben and hugs him. She says she is sorry. She says she will help him. She leads him to a bench and gets a band-aid from her backpack. She puts it on his knee and kisses it. She tells him it will be okay. She tells him she loves him.
+
+Ben smiles. He says he loves her too. He says he is sorry for being slow and whiny. He says he wants to have fun with her. He says he will follow her lead.
+
+Sara smiles. She says she is sorry for being mean and selfish. She says she wants to have fun with him too. She says he can lead sometimes. She says they can share and play together.
+
+They hug and make up. They go back to the slide and take turns. They laugh and have fun. They are independent, but they are also siblings. They are mine, and I am theirs.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. They liked to run, jump, and slide on the grass and the swings. Spot liked to chase balls and sticks that Lily and Max threw for him.
+
+One day, they saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily and Max wanted to see them closer, so they ran to the edge of the pond. Spot followed them, wagging his tail. They saw the ducks quack and swim, and the fish splash and glint. They also saw some twigs floating on the water.
+
+"Look, Max, twigs!" Lily said. "Let's get some and make a boat!"
+
+"Good idea, Lily!" Max said. "But be careful, don't fall in the pond!"
+
+They reached for the twigs, but they were too far. Lily and Max tried to walk along the edge of the pond, but it was slippery and muddy. They did not see that Spot had wandered away, sniffing and exploring.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a splash and a bark. They turned around and saw Spot in the pond, struggling to swim. He had jumped in to get a twig, but the water was too deep and cold for him.
+
+"Spot!" Lily and Max shouted. "Help, help!"
+
+They were very worried about Spot. They did not know how to swim, and they could not reach him. They looked around for help, but they did not see anyone.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. "Don't worry, kids, I'm coming!"
+
+They saw a man running towards them. He was wearing a hat and a vest, and he had a net and a bucket. He was a fisherman, and he had been fishing on the other side of the pond.
+
+He quickly threw his net over Spot, and pulled him out of the water. He put him in his bucket, and carried him to Lily and Max.
+
+"Here you go, kids, your dog is safe and sound," he said. "He's a brave and curious pup, but he should stay away from the pond. It's too dangerous for him."
+
+"Thank you, thank you, mister!" Lily and Max said. "You saved Spot!"
+
+They hugged Spot, who licked their faces. He was wet and shivering, but he was happy to see them.
+
+They thanked the fisherman again, and he gave them some fish food to feed the ducks and the fish. They said goodbye to him, and walked back to their home, holding Spot and their twigs.
+
+They learned a lesson that day: they should always watch their dog, and never wander too far from their parents. They also learned that there are kind people in the world, who help others in need. They decided to make a boat with their twigs, and give it to the fisherman as a gift. They hoped he would like it.
+Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sign. The sign said: "No dogs allowed in this country. Dogs are bad and dirty. Go away, dogs!"
+
+Anna and Ben were upset. They loved dogs. They had a dog at home. His name was Spot. Spot was good and clean. He liked to lick their faces and wag his tail.
+
+"Why do they say that?" Anna asked. "Dogs are not bad. They are nice."
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe they are mean. Maybe they don't like animals."
+
+They decided to go home and tell their parents. They hoped their parents would help them. They trusted their parents.
+
+But when they got home, they saw something terrible. There were men in uniforms outside their house. They had guns and sticks. They were hitting Spot. Spot was crying and bleeding.
+
+"Stop! Stop!" Anna and Ben shouted. "That's our dog! Leave him alone!"
+
+But the men did not stop. They did not listen. They laughed and kicked Spot. They said: "We don't care. This is our country. We make the rules. Dogs are not welcome here. Go away, dogs!"
+
+Anna and Ben ran to Spot. They hugged him and cried. They tried to protect him. But it was too late. Spot was not moving. Spot was not breathing. Spot was dead.
+
+Anna and Ben were very sad. They did not understand. They did not like this country. They did not like these men. They wished they could go away. They wished they could have Spot back. They wished they could be happy again. But they could not. The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big bottle on the table. It was red and shiny.
+
+"What is that?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+Lily shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe it is juice."
+
+Ben was curious. He wanted to taste it. He climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle.
+
+"Ben, no!" Lily shouted. "That is not juice. That is wine. Mommy and Daddy drink it sometimes. They say it is great, but we can't have it. It is not for kids."
+
+Ben did not listen. He opened the bottle and took a sip. He made a face. It was bitter and sour. He did not like it at all.
+
+"Yuck!" he said. "This is not great. This is bad. Why do Mommy and Daddy drink it?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not know. She thought wine was silly.
+
+Just then, Mommy and Daddy came outside. They saw Ben and Lily and the bottle.
+
+"Oh no!" Mommy said. "What have you done? You should not touch the wine. It is not good for you. It can make you sick."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry. They did not mean to be naughty. They just had a question.
+
+"We are sorry, Mommy and Daddy," they said. "We were just curious. We wanted to know what wine was."
+
+Mommy and Daddy hugged them. They were not angry. They were glad Ben and Lily were safe.
+
+"It is okay, Ben and Lily," they said. "We understand. But wine is not for kids. It is for grown-ups. Maybe when you are older, you can try it. But for now, you can have some juice. It is sweet and good. And it is great for you."
+Tom liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. But one day, he played too hard and broke his favorite car. The metal part came off and the wheels fell off. Tom was very upset. He cried and hugged his car.
+
+Mom heard Tom crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken car and felt sorry for Tom. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. We can repair your car. Do you want to help me?" Tom nodded and wiped his tears. He followed Mom to the kitchen, where she had some glue and tape.
+
+Mom showed Tom how to put the metal part back on the car and tape it. Then she helped him glue the wheels back on. She said, "There, your car is fixed. It looks good as new. You can play with it again, but be gentle." Tom smiled and thanked Mom. He took his car and gave it a kiss. He was happy again. He said, "I love you, Mom. And I love my car." Mom hugged Tom and said, "I love you too, Tom. And I'm proud of you for helping me repair your car." They went back to the living room, where Tom played with his car and Mom watched him. They had a good time.
+Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in the park. One day, they saw a new toy car in the park. It was big and shiny and had a siren. It looked like a police car.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "Can we play with it?"
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it belongs to someone else."
+
+Ben ran to the car and climbed inside. He pressed a button and the siren made a loud noise. "Wee-woo, wee-woo!" he shouted. "I'm a police officer!"
+
+Lily followed him and sat next to him. She smiled and put on a hat. "Me too!" she said. "We are police officers!"
+
+They drove the car around the park, pretending to chase bad guys and help people. They had a lot of fun. They did not see a man coming towards them. He looked angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids!" he yelled. "That's my car! You can't take it!"
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They did not know the man. They thought he was a bad guy.
+
+"We did not take it," Ben said. "We just borrowed it."
+
+"Borrowed it?" the man said. "You can't borrow something without asking. That's stealing!"
+
+He grabbed the car and pulled it away from them. He glared at them and walked away.
+
+Ben and Lily were sad. They liked the car. They did not mean to steal it. They just wanted to play.
+
+A woman saw them and came over. She was a real police officer. She had a badge and a uniform. She looked kind.
+
+"Are you OK?" she asked. "What happened?"
+
+Ben and Lily told her what happened. They said they were sorry. They did not know the car was not theirs.
+
+The woman nodded. She said she understood. She said they should always ask before they borrow something. She said they should be careful of strangers. She said they should be nice to each other.
+
+She smiled and gave them a hug. She said they were adorable. She said she had a surprise for them.
+
+She took them to her police car. She let them sit inside and play with the siren. She gave them stickers and hats. She told them stories about her job.
+
+Ben and Lily were happy. They thanked the woman. They said she was the best police officer ever.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned to ask before they borrow. They learned to respect other people's things. They learned to be friendly and polite.
+
+They also learned that police officers are cool. They decided they wanted to be police officers when they grow up. They said goodbye to the woman and went home with their new stickers and hats. They were still best friends.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their shovels and buckets. They liked to dig holes and make sand castles. They found many things in the sand: rocks, shells, worms, and even a shiny coin.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a coin!" Lila said, holding it up to the sun. "It is round and bright and has a face on it."
+
+"Wow, Lila, that is a nice coin!" Ben said, admiring it. "Maybe it is very old and came from underground."
+
+They wondered what else was underground. Maybe there were more coins, or jewels, or bones, or treasures. They decided to dig deeper and deeper, until they made a big hole.
+
+Suddenly, they saw something that made them gasp. It was a small ball that glowed in the dark. It was green and blue and had spots on it. It looked like a star, but it was not in the sky. It was in the hole.
+
+"What is that, Lila?" Ben asked, reaching for it.
+
+"I don't know, Ben, but it is pretty," Lila said, touching it. "It is warm and soft and makes a sound."
+
+They listened to the sound. It was like a song, but very distant and faint. They could not understand the words, but they felt happy and curious.
+
+"Hello, little ball," Lila said, smiling. "Who are you? Where do you come from?"
+
+The ball glowed brighter and sang louder. It seemed to like Lila and Ben. It bounced in their hands and spun in the air. It showed them pictures of other balls like it, flying in the space, far away from the earth.
+
+"We are stars," the ball said, in a voice that only Lila and Ben could hear. "We come from a distant place, where there is no day or night, only light. We came to visit your planet, to see what it is like. But we got lost and fell underground. We have been waiting for someone to find us and help us go back home."
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry for the ball. They wanted to help it, but they did not know how. They looked at the sky, where the sun was setting and the stars were coming out.
+
+"Maybe we can show you the way," Ben said, holding the ball up. "Maybe you can see your home from here."
+
+The ball looked at the sky and saw a bright star that glowed like it. It recognized its home and felt happy. It thanked Lila and Ben and said goodbye. It flew out of the hole and into the sky, leaving a trail of light behind it.
+
+Lila and Ben watched the ball until it disappeared. They felt happy and sad at the same time. They had made a new friend, but they had also lost it. They hugged each other and went back to their parents, who were waiting for them.
+
+They never forgot the ball that glowed in the dark. They always looked for it in the sky, hoping to see it again. They wondered if it ever came back to visit them, or if it told its friends about them. They wondered what else was underground, waiting to be found.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. But sometimes they would quarrel over who got to use what. One day, they both wanted to swing at the same time.
+
+"I was here first!" Lily said.
+
+"No, I was!" Tom said.
+
+They pushed and pulled and shouted at each other. They did not share or take turns. They made a lot of noise and did not have fun.
+
+Their mom heard them and came out. She saw them fighting and was not happy. She told them to stop and come inside. She said they had to learn to get along and be nice to each other.
+
+"But mom, we want to swing!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+"Too bad. You can't swing if you quarrel. You have to sit in your room and think about what you did. Maybe then you will say sorry and be friends again." Mom said.
+
+She took them inside and closed the door. Lily and Tom felt bitter. They did not like to be in their room. They missed the swing and the slide and the sandbox. They looked out the window and saw the sky. It was blue and sunny and had fluffy clouds. It looked like a happy sky.
+
+They wished they were happy too. They wished they had not quarreled. They wished they had played nicely. They felt sorry for what they did. They looked at each other and said:
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily."
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They decided to be friends and not fight anymore. They hoped mom would let them go outside again. They wanted to swing and slide and play in the sand. They wanted to enjoy the sky and have fun.
+Lily wanted to test her new sweater. She got it from her grandma for her birthday. It was pink and soft and had a big heart on the front. She put it on and ran to the mirror. She smiled and twirled. She looked pretty.
+
+She wanted to show her mom and dad. She ran to the kitchen, where they were busy making breakfast. "Look, look!" she said. "I have a new sweater!"
+
+Her mom and dad turned to look at her. They smiled and hugged her. "You look lovely, Lily," her mom said. "Grandma made you a nice sweater."
+
+"Can I wear it to school?" Lily asked. "I want to show my friends."
+
+"Of course you can," her dad said. "But first, you have to eat your breakfast. And then, you have to brush your teeth and comb your hair."
+
+Lily nodded. She ate her breakfast quickly. She brushed her teeth and combed her hair. She put on her backpack and her coat. She was ready to go.
+
+She kissed her mom and dad goodbye. She ran to the bus stop, where her friends were waiting. She showed them her new sweater. They all liked it. They said she looked pretty. Lily was happy. She loved her new sweater.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat sandwiches. One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has many colorful shapes inside. Sara and Ben are curious. They want to see what is in the box.
+
+They open the box and take out the shapes. They see circles, squares, triangles, and stars. They also see cards with the same shapes on them. Sara and Ben think it is a game. They try to match the shapes with the cards.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a circle!" Sara says. She holds a red circle and a card with a red circle.
+
+"Good job, Sara!" Ben says. He looks for a square. He finds a blue square and a card with a blue square.
+
+They match more shapes and cards. They have fun. They make a pile of the shapes and cards they match.
+
+After a while, they hear their mom call them. "Sara, Ben, lunch is ready! Come and eat your sandwiches!"
+
+Sara and Ben run to the kitchen. They are hungry. They see their mom holding two plates. On each plate, there is a sandwich. But the sandwiches are not the same. One sandwich has cheese and ham. The other sandwich has peanut butter and jelly.
+
+"Which sandwich do you want, Sara?" mom asks.
+
+Sara looks at the sandwiches. She is curious. She has never tried peanut butter and jelly. She wants to taste it. She points to the sandwich with peanut butter and jelly.
+
+"I want this one, mom!" Sara says.
+
+"Okay, Sara, you can have this one. And Ben, you can have the cheese and ham sandwich." mom says.
+
+Ben looks at the sandwiches. He is not curious. He likes cheese and ham. He does not like peanut butter and jelly. He is happy with his sandwich. He takes the plate with cheese and ham.
+
+"Thank you, mom!" Ben says.
+
+Sara and Ben sit at the table. They eat their sandwiches. They like them. They smile at each other. They are happy. They think about the shapes and cards in the box. They want to play more. They want to match more shapes and cards. They finish their sandwiches and ask mom if they can play again.
+
+"Sure, you can play again. But first, put your plates in the sink and wash your hands." mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben do what mom says. They put their plates in the sink and wash their hands. Then they run back to the living room. They open the box and take out the shapes and cards. They match more shapes and cards. They have fun. They are curious twins.
+Lily was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play outside. She saw the sun and the blue sky. She put on her boots and her coat. She ran to the door.
+
+"Wait, Lily!" Mom said. "You need a hat and gloves. It is cold outside."
+
+Lily did not want a hat and gloves. She wanted to go fast. She said, "No, Mom. I am fine."
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "Okay, Lily. But be careful. And come back soon."
+
+Lily nodded. She opened the door and ran outside. She saw a big puddle. She smiled. She loved puddles. She ran to the puddle and jumped in. She felt the water splash on her legs and her face. She laughed.
+
+She saw a stick near the puddle. She picked up the stick. She stirred the water with the stick. She made waves and bubbles. She pretended the stick was a boat. She said, "Choo-choo! I am a train!"
+
+She played with the stick and the puddle for a long time. She did not feel cold. She felt happy. She forgot about Mom and nap.
+
+But then she heard Mom call her name. She said, "Lily, time to come in. You need to nap."
+
+Lily did not want to nap. She wanted to play more. She said, "No, Mom. I am not tired."
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you are, Lily. You played a lot. You need to rest. Come on, Lily. Let's go inside."
+
+Lily pouted. She dropped the stick. She walked to Mom. She said, "Okay, Mom. But I don't like nap."
+
+Mom hugged her. She said, "I know, Lily. But nap is good for you. And when you wake up, you can play more. Maybe we can read a book or draw a picture. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily thought. She liked books and pictures. She said, "Okay, Mom. That sounds good."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Good girl, Lily. Let's go inside and dry off. You are wet and muddy."
+
+Lily looked at her boots and her coat. She saw the water and the dirt. She said, "Oops. Sorry, Mom."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay, Lily. You had fun. And that's what matters. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lily and Mom went inside. Mom helped Lily take off her boots and her coat. She gave her a towel and a warm hug. She said, "I love you, Lily."
+
+Lily said, "I love you, Mom."
+
+Mom took Lily to her bed. She tucked her in. She said, "Sleep well, Lily. I will see you soon."
+
+Lily closed her eyes. She felt sleepy. She said, "Bye, Mom."
+
+Mom said, "Bye, Lily."
+
+Lily fell asleep. She dreamed of puddles and sticks and trains. She was happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben says. He pulls the lid.
+
+"Wait!" Anna says. "Mom and Dad warn us not to touch their things. They say it is not safe."
+
+Ben does not listen. He opens the box and sees a lot of books. He is happy. He likes books. He takes one and looks at the pictures.
+
+Anna is not happy. She thinks books are boring. She wants to play with something else. She sees a shiny button on the side of the box. She wonders what it does.
+
+"Ben, look at this!" Anna says. She pushes the button.
+
+Suddenly, the box makes a loud noise and a bright light. Anna and Ben feel dizzy. They close their eyes.
+
+When they open their eyes, they are not in the garage anymore. They are in a strange place. They see trees and flowers and animals. They hear birds and water and music.
+
+"Wow!" Ben says. "This is amazing! Where are we?"
+
+"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe we are in a dream."
+
+They get out of the box and explore the place. They have fun. They forget about Mom and Dad and the garage.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She sounds angry.
+
+"Anna! Ben! Where are you? Come here right now!"
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They run back to the box. They push the button again. They hope it will take them home.
+
+The end.
+Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long yellow hair, blue eyes and a pink dress. Anna liked to brush Lily's hair and make her talk.
+
+One day, Anna found a big mirror in her mom's room. She wanted to see how Lily looked in the mirror. She carried Lily to the mirror and held her up. She smiled and said, "Look, Lily, you are so pretty! You are the prettiest doll in the world!"
+
+But when Anna looked in the mirror, she saw something that made her scream. She did not see Lily's face, but a face that was ugly and scary. It had green skin, red eyes and sharp teeth. It was a monster!
+
+Anna was so afraid that she dropped Lily and ran away. She did not know that the mirror was a trick mirror. It made everything look ugly and scary. Her mom had bought it for Halloween, but she forgot to put it away.
+
+Lily fell to the floor and broke her arm. She felt sad and hurt. She wished Anna would come back and hug her. She did not understand why Anna was scared of her. She did not know that the mirror was a lie. She said, "Anna, please come back. I am not a monster. I am your doll. I love you."
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play together at school. One day, they have a new teacher. The new teacher is not nice. She says they have to sit in different seats. She says they have to be quiet and not talk.
+
+Sam and Mia are sad. They want to sit together and talk. They have a plan. When the new teacher is not looking, they move to the same seat. They whisper and giggle. They think they are smart.
+
+But the new teacher sees them. She is angry. She yells at them. She says they are bad and naughty. She says they have to go to the corner. She says they have to stay there until the end of the day.
+
+Sam and Mia are scared. They cry and say they are sorry. They say they just want to be friends. They say they miss their old teacher. Their old teacher was nice and dependable. She let them sit together and talk. She smiled and praised them.
+
+But the new teacher does not listen. She says they have to learn their lesson. She says they have to be quiet and not move. She says they have to stay in the corner. She says they have no friends.
+
+Sam and Mia are alone. They are unhappy. They wish they could go home. They wish they could play together. They wish they had a different teacher. They wish they had a good ending.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play outside in the summer. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They had a lot of fun together.
+
+One day, they decided to make a sandcastle in the sandbox. They used buckets, shovels and sticks to build it. They worked hard and made a big and beautiful sandcastle. They were very proud of it.
+
+"Look at our sandcastle!" Lily said. "It is the best sandcastle ever!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Max agreed. "We are very successful!"
+
+They smiled and hugged each other. They wanted to show their sandcastle to their moms and dads.
+
+But then, a big dog came running into the yard. It saw the sandcastle and thought it was a toy. It jumped on it and knocked it down. It made a big mess in the sandbox.
+
+Lily and Max were very sad and angry. They saw their sandcastle ruined by the dog. They started to cry and yell.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily yelled. "You are bad! You broke our sandcastle!"
+
+"Leave us alone, dog!" Max yelled. "You are mean! You ruined our fun!"
+
+The dog was scared by their yelling. It ran away from the yard. It did not want to play with them anymore.
+
+Lily and Max hugged each other again. They were still sad, but they were also brave. They decided to make another sandcastle. They knew they could do it again.
+
+They got their buckets, shovels and sticks. They started to build a new sandcastle. They hoped the dog would not come back. They hoped their moms and dads would see their new sandcastle. They hoped they would be successful again.
+One day, a boy named Ben and his dog Spot went for a walk in the woods. They liked to explore and look for things. They saw many trees, flowers, birds and bugs. They had fun.
+
+But then, they heard a loud roar. It came from behind a big hill. Ben and Spot were scared. They wanted to go back home. But they were curious too. They decided to peek over the hill and see what made the roar.
+
+They saw a giant. He was very big and hairy. He had a long nose, big teeth and small eyes. He was holding a club. He looked angry. He was smelly too. Ben and Spot could smell him from far away. He smelled like mud and rotten eggs.
+
+The giant saw Ben and Spot. He roared again. He started to run towards them. He wanted to catch them and eat them. Ben and Spot were very scared. They turned around and ran away. They ran as fast as they could. They hoped the giant would not catch them.

+Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their ball. One day, they saw a big hill with many flowers. They wanted to run up the hill and see the view.
+
+But Tom had a cold. He felt his nose tickle. He tried to hold it in, but he could not. He sneezed very loud. "Achoo!" The sneeze made him lose his balance. He fell down and rolled down the hill. He bumped into a rock and hurt his knee.
+
+Sam ran after him. He wanted to help his friend. But he did not see a hole in the ground. He stepped in it and tripped. He fell down and rolled down the hill too. He landed on top of Tom and squashed him.
+
+Tom and Sam were both dirty and sore. They looked at each other and started to cry. They felt foolish. They wished they had stayed on the path. They learned a lesson. Next time, they would be more careful.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a big box in the park. They open the box and see many shiny things inside. They see rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. They are all brilliant and colorful.
+
+"Wow, look at these!" Anna says. "They are so pretty. Can we have them?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe they belong to someone. Maybe they are lost."
+
+"Who cares?" Anna says. "They are ours now. I want this ring. It has a pink stone. It matches my dress."
+
+She puts the ring on her finger and smiles. Ben looks at her and feels sad. He likes Anna, but he thinks she is being greedy. He sees a necklace with a blue stone. He likes blue. He wants the necklace, but he does not want to fight with Anna.
+
+"Anna, can I have this necklace?" he asks. "It has a blue stone. It matches my shirt."
+
+"No, you can't," Anna says. "It is mine too. All of these are mine. You can have that ugly bracelet. It has a green stone. It matches your eyes."
+
+She laughs and winks at him. Ben feels hurt. He does not like her wink. He thinks she is being mean. He realizes that she is not a good friend. He does not want to play with her anymore.
+
+"Fine," he says. "You can have them all. I don't want them. They are not real. They are fake. They are plastic. They are trash."
+
+He throws the bracelet on the ground and walks away. Anna is shocked. She looks at the bracelet and sees that Ben is right. It is not real. It is fake. It is plastic. It is trash. She looks at the other shiny things and sees that they are all fake too. She feels stupid. She realizes that she was wrong. She was greedy. She was mean. She lost a good friend.
+
+"Ben, wait!" she calls. "I'm sorry. I was wrong. You are right. These are not real. They are fake. They are trash. You can have them. I don't want them. I want you. You are real. You are good. You are my friend."
+
+She runs after him and hopes he will forgive her. She hopes he will still play with her. She hopes he will still like her.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they visit the zoo with their moms. They see many animals. They look at the lions, the monkeys, the elephants and the giraffes.
+
+"Look, Tom, the giraffe has a long neck!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, and it can bend it very well. It is flexible!" Tom says.
+
+They watch the giraffe eat leaves from a tall tree. It stretches and twists its neck. It looks happy.
+
+"Can you do that, Lily?" Tom asks.
+
+Lily tries to bend her neck like the giraffe. She makes a funny face. Tom laughs.

+Tom and Lily were twins who shared a room and a bed. They liked to play and read books before they slept. But sometimes they fought over the blanket and the pillow. Tom wanted to have more blanket because he felt cold. Lily wanted to have more pillow because she liked to be high.
+
+One night, it was very hot in their room. Tom and Lily were sweating on the mattress. They did not want to use the blanket or the pillow. They wanted to sleep on the floor where it was cooler. But their mom said no.
+
+"Mom, please let us sleep on the floor. The bed is too hot. We can't sleep," Tom said.
+
+"No, you have to sleep on the bed. The floor is dirty and hard. You will get sick or hurt," Mom said.
+
+"But Mom, we are so hot. We can't resist the heat. We need some air," Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed. She knew they were uncomfortable, but she also wanted them to be safe and healthy. She had an idea.
+
+"OK, how about this. You can sleep on the bed, but without the blanket and the pillow. You can use a thin sheet and a small cushion instead. And I will open the window a little bit, so you can feel some breeze. Is that OK?" Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily thought about it. They agreed to try Mom's idea. They took off the blanket and the pillow and put them in the closet. They covered themselves with a thin sheet and used a small cushion for their heads. Mom opened the window a little bit and kissed them good night.
+
+Tom and Lily felt better. They were not too hot or too cold. They could breathe some fresh air. They smiled at each other and said sorry for fighting. They learned to compromise and be grateful for what they had. They fell asleep peacefully on the mattress.
+Jill liked fashion. She liked to wear pretty dresses and hats and shoes. She liked to look at fashion books and magazines. She liked to draw fashion pictures and cut out fashion stickers.
+
+One day, Jill went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a girl with a jolly dress. The dress was pink and purple and had flowers and stars on it. The girl also had a jolly hat and shoes that matched the dress.
+
+"Wow, what a jolly dress!" Jill said. "Can I see it?"
+
+The girl smiled and said, "Sure, you can see it. My name is Kim. What is your name?"
+
+"My name is Jill. I like your dress a lot. Where did you get it?"
+
+Kim said, "I got it from my grandma. She made it for me. She is very good at fashion. She can sew and knit and crochet. She has a lot of fashion books and magazines too. She lets me look at them and borrow them."
+
+Jill said, "That is so cool. I like fashion too. I have some fashion books and magazines at home. I also have some fashion pictures and stickers. Do you want to see them?"
+
+Kim said, "Yes, I do. Can we be friends?"
+
+Jill said, "Yes, we can. Do you want to come to my house and play?"
+
+Kim said, "Yes, I do. Let me ask my mom and dad."
+
+Kim and Jill ran to their parents and asked them if they could go to Jill's house and play. Their parents said yes and gave them a hug. They walked together to Jill's house, holding hands and talking about fashion. They were very happy. They had found a new friend who liked fashion as much as they did. They owned a lot of fashion things, but they liked to share them with each other. They were jolly fashion friends.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big temple with many steps and windows. They wanted to go inside and see what was there.
+
+"Can we go in?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is not for us," Tom said.
+
+But they were curious and ran to the door. It was open and they went in. Inside, they saw many statues and paintings. They were very pretty and shiny. Tom and Lily walked around and looked at them.
+
+"Wow, look at this one!" Lily said. She pointed to a statue of a man with a long beard and a hat. He was holding a book and a stick.
+
+"Who is he?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe he is a teacher or a king," Lily said.
+
+They went closer to the statue and touched it. It was very rough and cold. They felt something under the book. It was a button.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a secret," Lily said.
+
+She pressed the button and something happened. The statue moved and opened its mouth. It spoke in a loud and scary voice.
+
+"Who are you? Why are you here? This is my temple. Go away!"
+
+Tom and Lily were very afraid. They screamed and ran to the door. They did not want to stay in the temple anymore. They ran outside and did not look back.
+
+They found a bench and sat down. They were still shaking and crying.
+
+"That was so scary!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it was. Let's never go in there again," Tom said.
+
+They hugged each other and calmed down. They decided to play somewhere else. They did not like the rough statue and the temple. They liked the sun and the grass and the flowers. They were happy and safe.
+Lily liked to play in the pond with her friend, Ben. They liked to look for frogs and catch them in their hands. They were very careful not to hurt the frogs. They just wanted to see them and hear them croak.
+
+One day, they found a big green frog with brown spots. It was sitting on a lily pad. Lily and Ben were very happy. They wanted to take the frog home and keep it as a pet.
+
+"Look, Ben, what a nice frog!" Lily said. "Can we take it home?"
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, we can't. The frog belongs in the pond. That is its home. If we take it away, it will be sad and scared. And we will be sad too, because we will miss the pond and the other frogs."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked the frog, but she did not want to make it sad. She also liked the pond and the other frogs. She did not want to miss them.
+
+"You are right, Ben," she said. "The frog belongs in the pond. Let's put it back on the lily pad and say goodbye."
+
+They gently placed the frog on the lily pad and waved to it. The frog croaked and jumped into the water. Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy that they did the right thing. They decided to come back to the pond another day and play with the frogs again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. It is a well. They go near the well and look inside.
+
+"Hello!" Anna shouts into the well. She hears a voice say "Hello!" back. She is happy. She thinks someone is in the well.
+
+"Who are you?" she asks.
+
+"I am you!" the voice says.
+
+Anna is confused. She looks at Ben. Ben looks at her. They do not understand.
+
+"Can you come out?" Anna says.
+
+"No, I can't!" the voice says.
+
+"Why not?" Ben says.
+
+"Because I am not real!" the voice says.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They think the voice is a trick. They think the well is black and bad. They run away from the well. They do not want to talk to it anymore. They go to their mom and dad and tell them what happened. Mom and dad hug them and say it is okay. They say the voice is just an echo. They say the well is just a hole. They say they are safe and loved. Anna and Ben feel better. They do not play near the well again. They play with their toys and their friends. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tent with many colors. They hear music and laughter. They want to see what is inside.
+
+They go to the tent and peek inside. They see many people sitting on chairs. They see a man with a funny hat and a long coat. He is talking to the people. He says he is a magician. He says he can do amazing things.
+
+He takes out a long strip of paper from his coat. He says he can make it disappear. He waves his hand and says a mysterious word. The paper is gone. The people applaud. Anna and Ben clap too. They think the magician is very clever.
+
+The magician says he can do more. He says he can make a rabbit come out of his hat. He puts his hand inside his hat and pulls out a big, fluffy rabbit. The people applaud again. Anna and Ben are amazed. They love the rabbit.
+
+The magician says he has one more trick. He says he can make himself disappear. He covers himself with a big cloth. He says another mysterious word. He drops the cloth. He is gone. The people are stunned. They look around. They can't see the magician anywhere.
+
+Anna and Ben are very curious. They want to know where the magician went. They go to the cloth and lift it up. They see a hole in the ground. They see a ladder. They see the magician climbing down the ladder. He looks at them and smiles. He puts his finger on his lips. He says, "Shh, don't tell anyone. It's a secret." He winks and goes down the hole.
+
+Anna and Ben are surprised. They giggle. They think the magician is very funny. They drop the cloth and run back to the park. They tell their friends about the magician and his tricks. They say he is the best magician ever.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to help their mom at the market. Mom sells fruits and vegetables. Lila and Ben have a small table with their own fruits. They sell apples, bananas, and pears.
+
+One day, a lady comes to their table. She looks at the fruits and smiles. She says, "Hello, little ones. What do you have here?"
+
+Lila and Ben say, "Hello, lady. We have apples, bananas, and pears. Do you want to buy some?"
+
+The lady says, "Yes, I do. I like pears. How much are they?"
+
+Lila and Ben look at their pears. They have small pears and large pears. They say, "The small pears are one coin. The large pears are two coins."
+
+The lady says, "I see. Can I have a large pear, please?"
+
+Lila and Ben nod. They pick a large pear and give it to the lady. The lady gives them two coins and says, "Thank you, little ones. This is a very nice pear. You are very good at selling fruits."
+
+Lila and Ben say, "Thank you, lady. You are very kind. Have a good day."
+
+The lady says, "You too, little ones. Bye-bye."
+
+Lila and Ben wave to the lady. They are happy. They sold a large pear. They put the coins in their jar. They hope to sell more fruits. They love to help their mom at the market.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and smell them. Lily saw a big flower that was pink and had many petals. She ran to it and said, "Look, Max, this flower is so pretty! It is blooming!"
+
+Max followed her and nodded. He liked the pink flower too. He touched it gently and said, "It is soft and nice. Can we pick it and take it home?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She said, "No, Max, we can't. The flower needs to stay here. It needs the sun and the water and the soil. If we take it, it will die."
+
+Max frowned. He said, "But I want to have it. It is mine. I saw it first."
+
+Lily said, "No, Max, it is not yours. It is for everyone to enjoy. And look, there is something else in the flower. Can you see it?"
+
+Max looked closer and saw a small green thing hiding in the petals. He said, "What is that? Is it a bug?"
+
+Lily said, "No, Max, it is not a bug. It is an alligator. A baby alligator. It lives in the flower. It likes the pink color and the warm place. It is cute, don't you think?"
+
+Max said, "An alligator? In the flower? That is silly. Alligators are big and scary and live in the water. They have sharp teeth and snap at people. They are not cute. They are mean."
+
+Lily said, "No, Max, not all alligators are mean. Some are nice and friendly. Like this one. He is not scary. He is just a baby. He needs a home and a friend. Maybe we can be his friends. What do you say?"
+
+Max thought for a moment. He looked at the baby alligator and saw that it was smiling at him. He said, "Okay, Lily, maybe we can be his friends. But we can't take him home either. He needs to stay in the flower. He likes it there. And we can come and visit him every day. And we can give him a name. How about Pinky?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Pinky? That is a good name. I like it. Hello, Pinky. We are Lily and Max. We are your friends. We are happy to meet you."
+
+Pinky said, "Hello, Lily and Max. I am Pinky. I am your friend. I am happy to meet you too."
+
+And they all laughed and played in the garden. And the pink flower bloomed and shone in the sun. And they were all very happy. The end.
+Lily and her mom like to play tea party. They have a small table, two chairs, and a toy tea set. Lily likes to lift the teapot and pour tea for her mom. Her mom likes to lift the cup and sip tea with Lily.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom are having tea party when they hear a loud noise. It is a big truck outside. The truck makes a lot of noise and dust. Lily feels scared and drops her teapot. The teapot breaks and the tea spills on the floor.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, are you okay?" her mom asks. She hugs Lily and helps her clean up the mess.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom, I broke the teapot," Lily says. She feels sad and sorry.
+
+"It's okay, Lily, it was an accident. The teapot was old and cheap. We can get a new one later. The most important thing is that you are safe and calm," her mom says. She smiles and kisses Lily.
+
+"Thank you, mom, I love you. You make me feel calm," Lily says. She hugs her mom and smiles.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. You make me happy. How about we finish our tea party with some cookies?" her mom says. She lifts a plate of cookies and offers one to Lily.
+
+"Yes, please, mom. I like cookies. And I like tea party with you," Lily says. She lifts a cookie and bites it. She feels better and happy.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the park. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Lila says. She has a strong opinion. She likes to try new things.
+
+"No, no, no!" Ben says. He has a different opinion. He is afraid of the box. He thinks it might be bad.
+
+They argue for a while. They do not agree. They are sad and angry.
+
+Then, they hear a voice from the box. It says, "Hello, hello, hello! Can you come and help me? I am stuck in here!"
+
+Lila and Ben are surprised. They stop arguing. They look at each other.
+
+"Who are you?" Lila asks.
+
+"I am a cat. A nice cat. I was playing in the box and the lid closed. I cannot get out. Please, come and help me!" the voice says.
+
+Lila and Ben feel sorry for the cat. They decide to help. They work together. They push and pull the lid. They open the box.
+
+They see a fluffy cat. It is white and black. It has green eyes. It looks happy.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" the cat says. It jumps out of the box. It rubs against Lila and Ben. It purrs.
+
+Lila and Ben smile. They pet the cat. They are happy too.
+
+They forget their argument. They have a new friend. They play with the cat and the box. They have fun. They share their opinions. They listen to each other. They are good friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green lizard on a rock. It was very still and quiet.
+
+"Look, a lizard!" Lily said. "Can we touch it?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it will bite."
+
+They went closer to the lizard. They wanted to see its eyes and tail. Ben reached out his hand. He was brave.
+
+He poked the lizard with his finger. The lizard did not like that. It opened its mouth and hissed. It was very loud and scary.
+
+Lily and Ben ran away. They were afraid of the lizard. They did not want to play with it anymore.
+
+"Are you okay?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay," Ben said. "But that was a bad idea. We should not poke lizards. They are not friendly."
+
+They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else. They found a ball and a hoop. They had fun with them. They did not bother the lizard again. The lizard was happy too. It was alert and safe on its rock.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big tub of water and some cups. They liked to fill the cups with water and pour them on the flowers. They also liked to splash each other and laugh.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a big cup of water!" Ben said. He ran towards Lily and tried to soak her with water. But Lily was quick. She moved away and Ben missed. He soaked the fence instead.
+
+"Ha ha, you missed me!" Lily said. She had a small cup of water in her hand. She threw it at Ben and hit him on the head. Ben felt the water drip down his face and hair. He made a funny face and Lily giggled.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Ben said. He looked around for something to get back at Lily. He saw his dad's belt hanging on the clothesline. It was orange and had a big buckle. Ben had an idea. He grabbed the belt and swung it like a whip. He aimed at Lily and let go.
+
+"Watch out, Lily, here comes the belt!" Ben shouted. He hoped to soak Lily with the belt. But Lily was quick. She moved away and Ben missed. He soaked the tree instead.
+
+"Ouch, that hurt!" Ben said. He felt the belt snap back and hit him on the arm. He dropped the belt and rubbed his arm. He made a sad face and Lily stopped giggling.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked. She felt sorry for Ben. She ran to him and gave him a hug. "I'm sorry I threw water at you. It was just a game."
+
+"I'm okay, Lily. I'm sorry I used the belt. It was just a game." Ben said. He hugged Lily back. "You are a good friend."
+
+They smiled at each other and picked up the belt. They decided to use it as a rope and play tug-of-war. They had fun and forgot about the water. They were happy.
+Tim and Ben are friends. They like to run on the track. They run fast and have fun. One day, they want to see who can run faster. They say, "Let's have a race!"
+
+They go to the start line. They say, "Ready, set, go!" They run as fast as they can. Tim is small, but he is very quick. He runs ahead of Ben. Ben tries to catch up, but he can't. Tim is too fast. He reaches the finish line first. He says, "I win! I win!"
+
+Ben is sad. He wanted to win. He says, "You are too small to win. You cheated. You are not my friend." He pushes Tim to the ground. Tim falls and hurts his knee. He cries. He says, "You are mean. You are not my friend."
+
+No one helps Tim. No one cheers for him. He is alone and in pain. He wishes he did not win. He wishes he had a friend.
+Mia did not like radishes. They were red and round and had a strong taste. Mommy always put them in her salad, but Mia would resist. She would push them away with her fork or hide them under her napkin.
+
+One day, Mommy said, "Mia, you have to eat your radishes. They are good for you. They make you strong and healthy."
+
+Mia shook her head. "No, Mommy, I don't want them. They are yucky. They make me sad."
+
+Mommy sighed. "Mia, please try one. Just one. You might like it. If you do, I will give you a surprise."
+
+Mia was curious. She liked surprises. She wondered what Mommy had for her. Maybe a sticker, or a candy, or a toy. She looked at the radish on her plate. It was small and shiny. Maybe it was not so bad.
+
+She picked it up with her fingers and took a tiny bite. She chewed and swallowed. It was crunchy and spicy. She made a face. She did not like it. She wanted to spit it out, but she remembered Mommy's words. She ate the rest of the radish.
+
+Mommy smiled. "Good girl, Mia. You did it. You ate a radish. How do you feel?"
+
+Mia shrugged. "I feel okay. But I still don't like radishes. They are not my favorite."
+
+Mommy nodded. "That's okay. You don't have to like everything. But I'm proud of you for trying something new. And now, here is your surprise."
+
+She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small book. It had a picture of a bunny on the cover. Mia loved bunnies. She squealed with joy.
+
+"Thank you, Mommy. Thank you. A bunny book. I love it. Can you read it to me?"
+
+Mommy hugged her. "Of course, my sweet. Come on, let's go to the couch. We can read the bunny book together."
+
+Mia forgot about the radish. She was happy. She had a new book and a loving mommy. The day was not so gloomy after all.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the park. They think it is a toy.
+
+"Look, Lily, a toy!" Tom says.
+
+"What is it?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's open it!" Tom says.
+
+They open the box. Inside, they see a lot of thick books. They are not toys. They are boring.
+
+"Books? No, thank you!" Lily says.
+
+"Me too. I want toys!" Tom says.
+
+They close the box. They look for other toys. They see a ball, a bike, and a doll. They are happy. They play with the toys. They forget about the box. They have fun.
+Tom and Mia are friends who like to play in the park. They pretend they are astronauts and explore different planets. One day, they find a big ball that looks like a planet. They want to play with it, but it is too heavy to lift.
+
+"Let's get this planet and take it to our spaceship!" Tom says.
+
+"How can we get it? It is too big and heavy!" Mia says.
+
+"Maybe we can roll it!" Tom says. He pushes the ball with all his strength, but it does not move.
+
+"See? It is too hard. We are too weak!" Mia says.
+
+Tom does not give up. He tries again and again, but the ball does not budge. He gets tired and sweaty. He feels sad and angry.
+
+"This is not fair! I want this planet!" Tom says.
+
+Mia sees that Tom is upset. She wants to help him. She has an idea.
+
+"Tom, maybe we can get this planet another way. Maybe we can draw it!" Mia says.
+
+She takes out a paper and a crayon from her backpack. She draws a circle and fills it with colors. She shows it to Tom.
+
+"Look, Tom! This is our planet! We can make it any way we want!" Mia says.
+
+Tom looks at the paper. He sees the bright colors and the shapes. He smiles.
+
+"You are right, Mia! This is our planet! It is beautiful and fun!" Tom says.
+
+He takes another paper and another crayon. He draws another planet next to Mia's. They make a solar system with their drawings. They play with their planets and pretend they are flying around them.
+
+They are happy and proud. They learn that they do not need to get things that are too big and heavy. They can use their imagination and creativity to make their own things. They also learn that they can help each other and share their ideas. They are good friends who like to play and learn together.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over who gets what. One day, they see a big bottle of wine on the table. It is red and shiny. They think it is juice.
+
+"I want some juice!" Anna says. She grabs the bottle and tries to open it.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben says. He pulls the bottle from Anna and holds it tight.
+
+"Give it back!" Anna says. She pushes Ben and he falls on the floor.
+
+"Ow!" Ben says. He cries and drops the bottle. It breaks and the wine spills everywhere.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the mess and the broken bottle. She is very angry.
+
+"Who did this?" Mom asks. She looks at Anna and Ben.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They do not want to get in trouble. They do not know what to say.
+
+"Tell me the truth!" Mom says. She wants them to be honest.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They know they did something bad. They decide to tell the truth.
+
+"We did it, Mom," Anna says. "We wanted some juice. We did not know it was wine."
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Ben says. "We did not mean to break the bottle."
+
+Mom sighs. She is still angry, but she is also glad that they are honest.
+
+"Thank you for telling me the truth," Mom says. "But you should never touch wine. It is not for kids. It can make you sick. And you should never fight over things. You should share and be nice to each other."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They say sorry again.
+
+Mom hugs them and says she loves them. She tells them to help her clean up the mess. She also tells them that they will not get any dessert tonight. They have to learn from their mistake.
+
+Anna and Ben agree. They help Mom clean up. They are sad, but they also feel better. They say sorry to each other and hug. They promise to be good and not touch wine again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big train on the other side of the park. They wanted to see it up close.
+
+"Let's go to the train!" Ben said.
+
+"OK!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the train, but they did not see the rail. The rail was a long metal thing that the train went on. They did not know that the rail was dangerous. They did not know that they should not cross the rail.
+
+They were about to enter the rail when they heard a loud horn. It was the train. It was coming fast. They were scared.
+
+"Stop!" a man shouted. He was wearing a hat and a vest. He was the train man. He was serious. He ran to Lily and Ben and pulled them away from the rail. He saved them.
+
+"Are you OK?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, thank you," Lily and Ben said.
+
+"That was very foolish," the train man said. "You should never enter the rail. The rail is not for playing. The rail is for the train. The train is big and strong and fast. It can hurt you. You could have been hurt very bad. You should always listen to the signs and the horns and the people. They tell you what is safe and what is not. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, we understand," Lily and Ben said. They felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+"Good," the train man said. "Now go back to the park and play safely. And remember, never enter the rail again."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They thanked the train man again and ran back to the park. They learned their lesson. They never entered the rail again. They played safely and happily. They were glad that the train man was there to help them.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to look for twigs and leaves and make things with them. Lily found a big twig that looked like a sword. She wanted to cut it and make it shorter.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a sword!" she said, holding the twig.
+
+"Be careful, Lily, that is dangerous!" Ben said. He saw that Lily had a pair of scissors in her other hand. He knew that scissors were sharp and could hurt.
+
+"Why is it dangerous?" Lily asked. She did not understand.
+
+"Scissors can cut you, Lily. They can cut your fingers or your skin. That will make you bleed and cry. And the twig can poke you, too. It can poke your eyes or your face. That will make you hurt and cry, too." Ben explained.
+
+Lily did not want to bleed or cry. She did not want to hurt herself or Ben. She put down the scissors and the twig.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You helped me be safe." she said.
+
+"You are welcome, Lily. You are a good friend, too. You listened to me. Let's find something else to play with. Something that is not dangerous." he said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. They looked around and saw a ball and a hoop. They decided to play with them. They had fun and did not get hurt. They were happy.
+Mia liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She was a big girl and she could wash the dishes in the sink. Mom said she was dependable and gave her a hug. Mia felt happy and proud.
+
+One day, Mia saw a shiny red cup on the table. It was her brother's cup, but he was not there. Mia wanted to wash it for him and surprise him. She took the cup and climbed on a chair to reach the sink. She turned on the water and started to scrub the cup.
+
+But the cup was not a normal cup. It was a magic cup that changed colors when it got hot or cold. Mia did not know that. She only saw the cup turn from red to blue and then to green. She thought she broke the cup. She felt scared and sad.
+
+She heard her brother come into the kitchen. He saw his cup in the sink and yelled, "Mia, what did you do to my cup? You ruined it!" He was angry and grabbed the cup from her. Mia started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Mia crying and her brother holding the cup. She knew it was a magic cup and explained to them how it worked. She said, "Mia, you did not break the cup. It is supposed to change colors. It is a fun cup. You were trying to be nice and wash it for your brother. You are a dependable helper." She said, "Brother, you should not yell at Mia. She did not know about the cup. You should thank her for washing it for you. You are a dependable brother." She gave them both a hug and a kiss.

+After a while, a little boy came over and asked, "Can I play too?" Lily said, "Yes, come on!" They played together and had so much fun. When it was time to go home, Lily said, "Mommy, can we come back to this park again?" Her mommy replied, "Of course, we can come back anytime you want." And Lily smiled, happy to have made a new friend and to have enjoyed the round merry-go-round.

+
+Max said, "Don't worry, let's play a lively game of tag. We can still have fun even if we can't see each other very well." So, they played tag in the fog and had a great time. When the fog cleared, they were both tired but happy. They said goodbye and promised to play together again soon.

+Timmy's friend Johnny laughed and said, "Ha ha! Your pants are falling down, Timmy! You look stupid!"
+
+Timmy felt embarrassed and sad. He didn't want his friends to think he looked stupid. But then, he remembered something his mom had told him. She said, "Timmy, it doesn't matter what other people think of you. What matters is how you feel about yourself."
+
+So, Timmy stood up tall and said to Johnny, "I don't care if I look stupid. I'm still going to shoot you!" And with that, he aimed his toy gun and pretended to shoot Johnny. They all laughed and continued playing together. Timmy realized that being himself was more important than trying to impress others.

They counted to three and then let their marbles go. Timmy's marble was winning, but then it hit a bump and stopped. Billy's marble entered the finish line first. 
+
+Timmy was sad that he lost, but he didn't want to be bossy like Billy. He said, "Good job, Billy! Let's play again." Billy smiled and said, "Okay, but this time I'll let you win." They played another game and Timmy's marble won. Timmy was happy and they both had fun playing together. The end.

+
+Anna and Ben suffer. They want to run and play. They want to eat cotton candy and popcorn. They want to ride the carousel and the slide. But their mom and dad say no. They say it is too dirty, too noisy, too busy, too dangerous. They say they have to go home soon.

+Her mom smiled and said, "Real flowers are very intelligent. They design themselves. They use the sun, the water, the soil and the air to grow and bloom. They have different shapes, colors, smells and seeds. They are like nature's art."
+
+Anna was amazed. She wanted to learn more about real flowers. She asked her mom, "Can I touch them? Can I smell them? Can I take them home?"
+
+Her mom said, "You can touch them gently, but don't pick them. They belong to the park. You can smell them, but don't pull them. They need to stay on their stems. You can take some pictures of them, but don't cut them. They need to make more seeds."
+
+Anna understood. She was respectful of the real flowers. She touched them gently, smelled them, and took some pictures. She thanked them for being so beautiful and intelligent. She said, "Maybe one day, I can design a flower like you."

+
+She cuts the lemons in half. She shows them how to squeeze them on the juicer. The juice comes out.
+

+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had a big drum that made loud noises when they hit it with sticks. They also had a long rope that they used to play tug-of-war or swing from the tree.
+
+One day, they had a new idea. They wanted to see if they could stretch the rope over the drum and make a different sound. They tied one end of the rope to the tree and the other end to the drum. Then they pulled the rope as hard as they could.
+
+"Wow, look how tight the rope is!" Tim said. "Do you think it will make a high sound or a low sound?"
+
+"Let's find out!" Sam said. He picked up a stick and tapped the rope over the drum.

+Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with marbles. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They made a game with the marbles.

+
+Then, they heard a song. It was a happy song. It made them want to dance. They looked around. They saw a man with a guitar. He was singing and smiling. He saw them and said, "Hello, children. Do you like my song? Do you want to dance with me?"

+
+One day, they decided to play in the dark. They turned off the lights and used a flashlight to see their network. They thought it was more fun and scary to play in the dark.
+
+"Look, there is a gas station!" Sam said. "I need to fill my car with gas."
+

+
+Suddenly, he jumped out of the dark and landed on Sam's car. He knocked it over and made a loud noise.
+
+"Ah!" Sam screamed. "Max, you scared me!"

+"Meow!" Max said. He grabbed Sam's car with his teeth and ran away.
+

+
+"Wait for me!" Lily said. She followed Sam with her car and flashlight.
+
+They ran after Max, who ran under the bed. They tried to get their car back, but it was too dark and too hard to reach.
+
+They were sad and angry. They wished they did not play in the dark. They wished they had a better network. They wished Max was a nicer cat.
+Lila was a creative girl who liked to draw and paint. She had many colors and papers in her room. One night, she looked out of her window and saw the moon. It was big and bright and round. She wanted to draw the moon.
+
+She took a yellow crayon and a white paper and started to draw a circle. But it did not look like the moon. It was too small and too flat. She tried again with a bigger paper and a thicker crayon. But it still did not look like the moon. It was too yellow and too smooth.
+
+She felt sad and frustrated. She did not know how to draw the moon. She asked her mom for help. "Mom, can you please help me draw the moon?" she said.
+
+Her mom came to her room and hugged her. "Of course, I can help you, Lila. You are very creative, but sometimes you need to use more than one color and more than one shape. The moon is not just a circle. It has shadows and craters and spots. And it is not just yellow. It has shades of white and gray and blue. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lila nodded. Her mom took her to the kitchen and showed her a plate, a bowl, a spoon, and a sponge. She said, "These are some things we can use to draw the moon. The plate is the circle, the bowl is the shadow, the spoon is the crater, and the sponge is the spot. We can trace them on the paper and then color them with different crayons. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lila smiled. She liked the idea. She said, "Yes, I want to try. Thank you, mom. You are very creative, too."
+
+They went back to her room and used the things to draw the moon. Lila was happy with her drawing. It looked more like the moon. She showed it to her mom and said, "Look, mom. I drew the moon. It is beautiful."
+
+Her mom praised her and said, "You did a great job, Lila. You are very creative. And you know what? The moon is beautiful, but you are more beautiful. I love you, Lila."
+
+Lila hugged her mom and said, "I love you, too, mom. And I love the moon."
+Sam was a lazy cat. He liked to sleep all day on the sofa. He did not like to wash his fur or play with his toys. He only woke up when he was hungry or thirsty.
+
+One day, Sam saw a red dot on the wall. It moved very fast and made a funny noise. Sam was curious. He jumped off the sofa and chased the dot. He tried to catch it with his paw, but it always escaped.
+
+"Ha ha ha!" Sam heard a voice from behind the sofa. It was Max, his human brother. Max had a laser toy in his hand. He was making the dot move on the wall. "You are so silly, Sam! You can't catch the laser!"
+
+Sam was angry. He did not like to be tricked. He ran behind the sofa and pounced on Max. He scratched his arm and bit his ear. Max cried out in pain and dropped the laser toy.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow! Sam, stop it! You are mean!" Max shouted. He ran away to find his mom. Sam picked up the laser toy with his mouth and ran to the sofa. He hid the toy under a pillow and went back to sleep. He was happy. He had taught Max a lesson. He did not care about washing his fur or playing with his toys. He only cared about his laser.
+Ben and Lily went to the farm with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and horses. Ben and Lily liked the animals, but they liked the goats best. The goats had soft fur and funny horns.
+
+"Can we pet the goats, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, but be gentle and careful. The goats might bite or kick if they are scared," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily walked to the fence where the goats were. They reached out their hands and touched the goats' fur. The goats made noises like "baa" and "meh". One goat was very friendly and came closer to Ben and Lily. It licked their hands and rubbed its head against them.
+
+"Hello, goat. You are very nice," Ben said.
+
+"I like you, goat. You are very comfortable," Lily said.
+
+The goat liked Ben and Lily too. It wanted to play with them. It jumped over the fence and ran to them. It grabbed Lily's dress with its teeth and pulled it. Lily was surprised and scared. She screamed and let go of the dress.
+
+"Mom, help! The goat grabbed my dress!" Lily cried.
+
+Mom and Dad heard Lily and ran to her. They saw the goat with Lily's dress in its mouth. They shooed the goat away and checked on Lily. Lily was not hurt, but her dress was torn.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. The goat was just curious and playful. It didn't mean to hurt you or your dress," Mom said.
+
+"It's okay, Mom. I'm not mad at the goat. But I don't want to pet it anymore," Lily said.
+
+Ben hugged Lily and gave her his hat. He said, "Don't be sad, Lily. You still have me and your hat. We can play with the other animals."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. Let's go see the chickens."
+
+Ben and Lily held hands and walked to the chicken coop. They forgot about the goat and had fun with the other animals. They learned a lot and had a great day at the farm.
+Mia likes to help her mom with the mail. Every day, they walk to the big blue box and put the letters inside. Mia holds the mail very tight, because she does not want to drop it. She knows that dropping the mail is bad, and her mom will be sad.
+
+One day, they see something new at the big blue box. It is an enormous package, with a red bow and a shiny tag. Mia is curious. She wants to see what is inside. She lets go of the mail and runs to the package. She tries to lift it, but it is too heavy.
+
+"Mia, come back!" her mom calls. "Don't touch that package! It's not ours!"
+
+But Mia does not hear her mom. She pulls and tugs at the package, until it falls off the big blue box. It lands on the ground with a loud thud. Mia hears a crack and a hiss. She sees smoke and sparks. She feels scared.
+
+"Mia, run!" her mom shouts. "It's a bomb!"
+
+Mia drops the package and runs to her mom. They hug each other and run away from the big blue box. They hear a boom and see a flash. The big blue box is gone. The mail is gone. The package is gone.
+
+Mia and her mom are safe, but they are very shocked. They wonder who sent the package, and why. They are glad they did not open it. They are sorry they dropped the mail. They hope no one else gets hurt. They decide to stay home and watch cartoons. They do not like the mail anymore.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together at the park. They swing, slide and run. They are happy.
+
+One day, Lily brings a bag to the park. She shows Ben what is inside. It is a soft toy. It is a bear. Lily loves her bear. She hugs it and says, "This is my bear. His name is Ted. He is very peaceful. He likes to cuddle."
+
+Ben smiles and says, "He is a nice bear. Can I hug him too?" Lily nods and gives Ted to Ben. Ben hugs Ted and says, "He is very soft. He makes me feel peaceful too."
+
+Lily and Ben take turns to hug Ted. They share and play with him. They are kind and gentle. They are good friends.
+
+The end.
+Sam and Mia liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman and a small snowman. They gave them hats and scarves and buttons. They were very happy.
+
+Then they saw a big white thing in the snow. It looked like a house. They wanted to see what was inside. They walked to the white thing. It was an igloo.
+
+They knocked on the igloo. No one answered. They pushed the door. It opened. They went inside. It was dark and cold. They saw some fur and bones. They were scared.
+
+They heard a growl. They turned around. They saw a big bear. It was angry. It lived in the igloo. It did not like visitors. It wanted to eat them.
+
+They tried to run. But the bear was faster. It followed them. It caught them. It bit them. They screamed. They were gone.
+
+The snowman and the small snowman waited for them. But they never came back. They were sad. The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing with blocks. They liked to make shapes with the blocks. Lily made a square with four blocks. Tom made a triangle with three blocks.
+
+"Look, I made a triangle!" Tom said. "It has three sides and three points."
+
+"That's nice, Tom," Lily said. "But I like squares better. They have four sides and four points."
+
+Lily wanted to show Tom that squares were better. She took Tom's triangle and tried to fit it on top of her square. But it did not fit. The triangle was too big and the square was too small.
+
+"Hey, give me back my triangle!" Tom said. He was angry. He grabbed his triangle from Lily and pulled hard. Lily did not let go. They both pulled and pulled.
+
+Then, Lily did something bad. She bit Tom's hand. Tom felt a sharp pain. He let go of the triangle and cried. Lily saw blood on Tom's hand. She felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt Tom.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I did not want to bite you. I just wanted to play with your triangle."
+
+Tom looked at his hand. It had a deep bite mark. It hurt a lot. He was still angry, but he was also sad. He liked Lily. She was his friend.
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Tom said. "But you should not bite. Biting is bad. It makes people bleed and cry."
+
+Lily nodded. She knew biting was bad. She hugged Tom and said sorry again. Tom hugged her back and said it was okay. They were still friends.
+
+They decided to play with the blocks again. But this time, they did not fight. They shared the blocks and made different shapes. They made a square, a triangle, a circle, and a star. They had fun. They did not bite.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they both liked the lamp best. The lamp was shiny and bright, and it made funny shapes on the wall. Lily and Ben took turns to hold the lamp and make shadows with their hands.
+
+But then, Ben did not want to give the lamp to Lily. He said, "It is my turn. You had it for a long time. I want the lamp."
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She said, "No, it is my turn. You are being mean. Give me the lamp."
+
+They both pulled the lamp and shouted at each other. The lamp was heavy and hard, and it slipped from their hands. It fell on the floor and broke. The light went out and the room was dark.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared and sorry. They did not like the dark. They did not like the broken lamp. They did not like to fight. They hugged each other and said, "I am sorry. I love you. Can we share the lamp?"
+
+But the lamp was gone. It was only a distant memory. They had to find a new toy to play with. They learned to be kind and take turns. They did not want to break anything else. They were happy again.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had a big box of cars, dolls, balls and blocks. They made roads, houses, games and stories with their toys. They had a lot of fun.
+
+One day, the sun was very hot and bright. It hurt their eyes to look at it. It was a harsh sight. Ben and Lily wanted to play in the shade, where it was cooler and darker. They looked for a good place to put their toys.
+
+They saw a big tree with many leaves. It made a nice shadow on the grass. Ben and Lily decided to put their toys under the tree. They carried their box to the tree and emptied it. They spread their toys on the ground and started to play.
+
+But they did not see the ants. The ants lived under the tree. They did not like the toys. They thought the toys were invaders. They wanted to protect their home. They crawled on the toys and bit them. They made the toys dirty and sticky.
+
+Ben and Lily felt the ants on their hands and feet. They screamed and jumped. They did not like the ants. They thought the ants were mean. They wanted to get away from them. They grabbed their toys and ran back to the house. They left their box under the tree.
+
+They learned a lesson. They should not put their toys where the ants live. They should put their toys where they are safe and clean. They should be careful of the harsh sight of the sun and the ants. They should find a better place to play.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play soccer. They had a ball and a goal in the park. They took turns to kick the ball and try to score. Sometimes they missed, sometimes they hit the goal. It was fun.
+
+One day, a big boy came to the park. He saw Tom and Sam playing soccer. He wanted to play too, but he was not nice. He said, "Give me the ball, or I will cut you." Tom and Sam were scared. They did not want to give him the ball, but they did not want to get cut. They gave him the ball.
+
+The big boy took the ball and kicked it hard. He hit the goal every time. He laughed and said, "I am the best. You are boring. You can't play soccer." Tom and Sam felt sad and angry. They wanted their ball back, but they did not know how.
+
+They tried to ask the big boy nicely, but he ignored them. They tried to grab the ball, but he pushed them away. They tried to run away, but he chased them. He was faster and stronger. He caught them and cut them with a knife. He said, "This is what you get for being boring." Tom and Sam cried and bled. They wished they never met the big boy. The end.
+Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a red cap that they took turns to wear. One day, they saw an elderly man sitting on a bench. He had a long beard and a cane.
+
+"Hello, children," he said. "Do you want to see a magic trick?"
+
+Tom and Sue nodded. They liked magic tricks.
+
+"Give me your cap," the man said. "I will make it spin in the air."
+
+Tom gave him the cap. The man threw it up and caught it with his cane. He made it spin faster and faster.
+
+"Wow!" Tom and Sue said. They clapped their hands.
+
+"Watch closely," the man said. "Now I will make it disappear."
+
+He spun the cap one last time and then let it go. It flew away with the wind.
+
+"Where did it go?" Tom asked.
+
+"It's gone," the man said. "That's the magic."
+
+Tom and Sue looked at the sky. They could not see their cap.
+
+"Give it back!" Sue cried. "That's our cap!"
+
+The man laughed. He got up and walked away.
+
+"Sorry, children," he said. "You can't have it back. It's mine now."
+
+Tom and Sue ran after him. They shouted and cried. But the man was too fast. He disappeared into the crowd.
+
+Tom and Sue never saw their cap again. They were very sad. They wished they had never met the man. He was a bad man. He was not a magician. He was a thief.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They laugh and shout and have a good time.
+
+One day, they see a new toy in the park. It is a big red ball. It looks very fun. Lily and Tom run to the ball. They both want to play with it.
+
+"Let me have it!" Lily says. She tries to take the ball from Tom.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Tom says. He pulls the ball away from Lily.
+
+They start to fight over the ball. They push and pull and yell. They are not having fun anymore. They are making a mess.
+
+A lady comes to the park. She sees Lily and Tom fighting. She is not happy. She walks to them and says:
+
+"Stop it, children! That ball is not yours. It belongs to the park. You have to share it with others. And look at you! You are dirty and rude. You need to be clean and nice. Say sorry to each other and put the ball back."
+
+Lily and Tom feel ashamed. They realize they were wrong. They say sorry to each other and to the lady. They put the ball back where they found it. They clean themselves up and say thank you to the lady.
+
+The lady smiles and says:
+
+"That's better. Now you can play again. But remember, sharing is caring. And being clean and nice is better than being dirty and rude."
+
+Lily and Tom nod and hug. They learn their lesson. They play together again. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play outside. One day, they went to the harbor with their mom and dad. The harbor was a place where big boats and ships stayed in the water. Lily and Ben liked to watch the boats and the people who worked on them.
+
+"Look, Lily, that boat has a big flag!" Ben said, pointing to a ship with a colorful flag.
+
+"I see it, Ben. It is very pretty. Do you think the people on the boat are going far away?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe. I wish we could go on a boat and see new places," Ben said.
+
+"Me too. But we can pretend, right?" Lily said.
+
+They ran to a bench near the water and climbed on it. They pretended it was their boat and they were the captains. They used sticks as steering wheels and made boat noises with their mouths.
+
+"Ahoy, matey! Where are we going today?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"We are going to a land with many animals and trees. Maybe we will see a lion or a monkey," Lily said.
+
+"Wow, that sounds fun. How will we get there?" Ben asked.
+
+"We will soar across the water like a bird. We will go very fast and very high. Nothing can stop us," Lily said.
+
+They waved their sticks and shouted, "Soar, boat, soar!"
+
+Their mom and dad smiled and watched them play. They were happy to see their twins having fun and using their imagination. They knew that one day, Lily and Ben might really soar to new places, but for now, they were happy to be at the harbor.
+One day, a boy named Tom and a girl named Sue went to play in the woods near their village. They liked to run, jump, and climb the trees. They saw many animals and flowers. They had fun.
+
+But then, they saw a path they did not know. It looked dark and scary. Tom said, "Let's go and see what is there. Maybe we can find something new and exciting." Sue said, "No, Tom. We should not go. We do not know what is there. It could be dangerous. We should go back to our village. Mama and Papa told us to stay close."
+
+Tom did not listen to Sue. He said, "You are a chicken. I am not afraid. I want to go and explore. You can stay here if you want." He ran away from Sue and followed the unknown path.
+
+Sue was sad and worried. She did not want to leave Tom alone. She did not want to go back to the village without him. She did not know what to do. She waited for a while, hoping that Tom would come back.
+
+But Tom did not come back. He went deeper and deeper into the woods. He did not see any animals or flowers. He only saw rocks and thorns. He felt cold and hungry. He felt lost and scared. He wished he had listened to Sue. He wished he had stayed with her. He wished he had gone back to his village.
+
+He cried and cried. He did not know how to find his way back. He did not know if anyone would find him. He was alone.
+
+Moral: We should listen to our friends and family. They care about us and want us to be safe and happy. We should not go to unknown places without permission. We could get into trouble and regret it. We should be grateful for what we have and enjoy it.
+Tom was sad. He wanted to swim in the pool, but it was cold and rainy. He looked out the window and saw the water was black and dirty. He sighed and went to his room.
+
+He found his toy boat and his rubber duck. He put them in a big bowl of water. He pretended the bowl was the pool and the boat and the duck were his friends. He made them splash and talk and have fun.
+
+But he was still sad. He missed the real pool and his real friends. He wished the sun would come out and make the water blue and clean. He sighed and hugged his duck.
+
+Then he heard a knock on the door. It was his mom. She had a big smile and a towel. She said, "Guess what, Tom? The rain stopped and the pool is open. Do you want to go and swim?"
+
+Tom was happy. He jumped up and grabbed his boat and his duck. He said, "Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, mom!" He ran to the door and followed his mom to the car.
+
+He could not wait to see the pool and his friends. He hoped the water was not black and dirty anymore. He sighed and smiled.
+Sara and Ben were playing with blocks in their room. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. Sara was very creative and made a castle with a moat and a drawbridge. Ben was impressed and wanted to help.
+
+"Can I help you with your castle, Sara?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, Ben. You can help me put the flags on the towers," Sara said.
+
+They worked together and finished the castle. It looked very nice and they were proud of it.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from downstairs. It was their mom, shouting for help.
+
+"Help! Help! There's an emergency! The oven is on fire!"
+
+Sara and Ben were scared and ran to the door. They wanted to help their mom, but they didn't know what to do. They saw smoke and flames coming from the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, are you okay?" Sara cried.
+
+"Stay back, kids! Don't come near the fire! Call 911!" their mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben didn't know what 911 was. They looked for the phone, but they couldn't find it. They saw a big red button on the wall that said "Fire Alarm". They thought maybe that would help.
+
+They pushed the button and heard a loud siren. They hoped someone would come and help their mom.
+
+But no one came. The fire alarm was broken and didn't work. The fire got bigger and bigger and spread to the curtains and the sofa. The smoke filled the room and made it hard to breathe.
+
+Sara and Ben coughed and cried. They hugged each other and wished they could help their mom.
+
+But they couldn't. They were too little and didn't know what to do.
+
+The fire was too big and too hot.
+
+They couldn't get out.
+
+They couldn't get help.
+
+They couldn't survive.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They live in a big building with many floors. Every morning, they wake up and get ready for school. They brush their teeth, eat some toast, and put on their backpacks.
+
+They go to the elevator with their mom. The elevator is a big box that moves up and down. They push a button and wait for the door to open. Sometimes, they see other people in the elevator. They say hello and smile.
+
+Today, the elevator is empty. Tom and Mia have fun. They jump and sing and make funny faces. The elevator goes up and up and up. They feel their ears pop. They look at the numbers on the wall. They count together: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
+
+The elevator stops at ten. The door opens. They see their dad. He works in a big office. He is happy to see them. He gives them a hug and a kiss. He says he has a surprise for them.
+
+He takes them to the roof. The roof is very high. They can see the whole city. They see cars and buses and trees and birds. They see the sun and the sky and the clouds. They feel the wind and the air. The air is dry. It makes their lips crack. They drink some water from their dad's bottle.
+
+They love the roof. They run and play and explore. They find a big antenna and a small garden. They see a helicopter and a plane. They wave and shout. They have a lot of fun.
+
+They thank their dad for the surprise. They go back to the elevator. They push the button and wait for the door to open. They say goodbye to the roof and the city. They go down and down and down. They feel their ears pop. They look at the numbers on the wall. They count backwards: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
+
+The elevator stops at one. The door opens. They see their mom. She is ready to take them to school. They give their dad another hug and kiss. They say they love him. They say they love the elevator. They say they love the roof. They say they love the dry air. They say they love the surprise.
+
+They are happy. They are twins. They live in a big building with many floors. Every morning, they wake up and get ready for school.
+Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat cereal for breakfast. She went to the kitchen and looked for the cereal box. But she could not find it. Where was the cereal?
+
+She saw her brother Ben in the living room. He was watching TV. He was holding the cereal box. He was eating cereal from the box.
+
+"Ben, can I borrow some cereal?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, this is my cereal. Go away!" Ben said. He was loud and mean.
+
+Lily was sad. She did not like Ben. He was not nice. She wanted to eat cereal too.
+
+She had an idea. She went to her room and got her toy trumpet. She came back to the living room. She blew the trumpet as loud as she could.
+
+"TOOT TOOT TOOT!" Lily made a lot of noise.
+
+"Hey, stop that! You are hurting my ears!" Ben shouted. He covered his ears. He dropped the cereal box.
+
+Lily smiled. She ran to the cereal box and picked it up. She poured some cereal into a bowl. She added some milk. She ate the cereal. It was yummy.
+
+"Thank you for sharing, Ben!" Lily said. She was happy. She did not care about Ben. He was still mad. He turned off the TV. He went to his room. He slammed the door.
+
+Lily finished her cereal. She washed her bowl. She put the cereal box back in the kitchen. She went to play with her toys. She had a good day.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers with the hose. Lily saw a big pink rose and wanted to smell it. She went closer and bent down.
+
+"Be careful, Lily!" Max shouted. "The hose is still on!"
+
+But it was too late. The water came out of the hose and soaked Lily. She was wet from head to toe. She dropped the hose and ran away. She was sad and angry.
+
+"Max, you are mean!" she cried. "You made me wet and cold!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily!" Max said. "I didn't mean to. It was an accident. Please don't be sad."
+
+He ran after her and gave her a hug. He also gave her his towel to dry herself. He said he was sorry again and asked her to forgive him.
+
+Lily looked at him and saw that he was sorry. She also saw that he was wet too. She felt sorry for him. She smiled and said, "It's okay, Max. I forgive you. But next time, be more careful with the hose."
+
+They hugged again and went inside to change their clothes. They were still friends. They decided to play something else after they were dry. They liked to play together. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the harbor with their mom and dad. The harbor was a big place where boats and water lived. Sara and Ben saw many boats of different colors and sizes. They wanted to go on a boat and see the water up close.
+
+"Can we go on a boat, mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Maybe later, sweetie. First, let's have a picnic on the grass," mom said.
+
+"OK, mom," Sara said. She and Ben followed their mom and dad to a nice spot on the grass. They had sandwiches, apples, and cookies for lunch. Sara and Ben ate their food quickly. They were hungry and excited.
+
+"Can we go on a boat now, dad?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, buddy. Let's go find a boat that we can ride," dad said.
+
+"Yay!" Sara and Ben said. They skipped to the harbor with their mom and dad. They skipped because they were happy and eager. They saw a boat that was orange and had a big sail. It looked like a fun boat.
+
+"Can we go on that boat, dad?" Sara asked.
+
+"Let's ask the man who owns the boat," dad said. He talked to the man who was wearing a hat and a jacket. The man smiled and nodded. He said they could go on his boat for a little while.
+
+"Thank you, sir," dad said.
+
+"You're welcome, mate. Enjoy the ride," the man said.
+
+Sara and Ben climbed on the boat with their mom and dad. They put on life jackets and sat on the seats. The man started the boat and it moved on the water. Sara and Ben felt the wind and the waves. They saw the birds and the fish. They laughed and waved to the other boats. They had a lot of fun on the orange boat. They thanked the man again when they got off. They hugged their mom and dad. They had a great day at the harbor.
+Lily wanted to wear her new blouse to the park. It was pink and had flowers on it. She loved it very much. She asked her mom if she could put it on.
+
+"Are you sure, Lily?" her mom said. "It might get dirty or torn at the park. Why don't you wear something else?"
+
+"But I want to wear it, mom!" Lily said. "Please, please, please! I promise I will be careful. I promise I won't get it dirty or torn. Please, mom!"
+
+Her mom sighed. She knew Lily loved her new blouse. She also knew Lily was not very good at keeping her promises. But she wanted to make Lily happy. She said, "Okay, Lily. You can wear your new blouse. But you have to keep your promise. You have to be careful. And you have to listen to me. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, mom!" Lily said. She hugged her mom and ran to her room. She put on her new blouse and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt very pretty and happy.
+
+She and her mom went to the park. Lily saw her friend Ben there. He was playing with a ball. He waved at Lily and said, "Hi, Lily! Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily wanted to play with Ben. She liked Ben. He was funny and nice. She said, "Hi, Ben! Yes, I want to play with you. But I have to be careful. I have a new blouse. It is pink and has flowers on it. I promised my mom I won't get it dirty or torn."
+
+Ben looked at Lily's blouse. He said, "Wow, Lily! Your blouse is very pretty. I like it. But you don't have to be careful. It's just a blouse. It's not a big deal. Come on, let's play!"
+
+He threw the ball to Lily. Lily caught it. She felt a little scared. She didn't want to break her promise. She didn't want to ruin her blouse. But she also didn't want to upset Ben. She wanted to have fun. She threw the ball back to Ben. He threw it again. They played for a while. Lily forgot about her promise. She forgot about her blouse. She laughed and ran and jumped.
+
+Then, something bad happened. Ben threw the ball too hard. It hit Lily in the chest. It made her fall down. It made her blouse rip. It made her blouse dirty. Lily felt a sharp pain. She felt a wet stain. She felt a big tear. She looked at her blouse. She saw the rip. She saw the dirt. She saw the blood. She started to cry.
+
+Ben ran to Lily. He said, "Oh, Lily! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't mean to rip your blouse. Are you okay?"
+
+Lily was not okay. She was hurt. She was sad. She was angry. She said, "No, Ben! I'm not okay! You hurt me! You ripped my blouse! You made me break my promise! You are a bad friend! Go away!"
+
+Ben felt sad. He felt sorry. He felt guilty. He said, "Lily, please don't be mad at me. I'm not a bad friend. I'm your friend. I didn't do it on purpose. I was just playing. Please forgive me. Please don't cry."
+
+Lily didn't want to forgive Ben. She didn't want to stop crying. She wanted her mom. She wanted her new blouse. She wanted her promise. She said, "No, Ben! I don't forgive you. I don't want to play with you. I want my mom. I want my new blouse. I want my promise. Go away!"
+
+Ben went away. He felt sad. He felt sorry. He felt guilty. He felt lonely.
+
+Lily's mom came to Lily. She saw Lily crying. She saw Lily's blouse. She said, "Oh, Lily! What happened? Are you okay?"
+
+Lily told her mom what happened. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I broke my promise. I wasn't careful. I ruined my blouse. Ben hurt me. Ben ripped my blouse. Ben made me break my promise. I'm sorry, mom."
+
+Her mom hugged Lily. She said, "Lily, it's okay. I'm not mad at you. I know you didn't mean to break your promise. I know you were just playing. I know accidents happen. I'm sorry you got hurt. I'm sorry your blouse got ripped. But it's not the end of the world. It's just a blouse. It can be fixed. It can be washed. It can be worn again. You are more important
+Anna likes to play with her toy doctor kit. She has a stethoscope, a thermometer, a bandage and a bulb. The bulb is her favorite. She can squeeze it and make it go whoosh.
+
+One day, she decides to play doctor with her teddy bear. She puts the stethoscope on his chest and listens. She says, "Teddy, your heart sounds good. Now let me check your temperature." She puts the thermometer in his mouth and waits. She says, "Teddy, you have a fever. You need some medicine."
+
+She takes out the bulb and fills it with water. She says, "Teddy, this is your medicine. It will make you feel better. Open your mouth." She puts the bulb in his mouth and squeezes it tight. The water squirts out and makes Teddy wet.
+
+Teddy does not like it. He spits out the water and growls. He says, "Anna, that is not medicine. That is water. You made me wet and cold. I don't want to play doctor anymore."
+
+Anna feels sorry. She says, "Teddy, I'm sorry. I was just playing. I didn't mean to make you wet and cold. Please don't be mad at me. I love you."
+
+She hugs him and dries him with a towel. She says, "Teddy, you are my best friend. Do you want to play something else?"
+
+Teddy smiles and nods. He says, "Anna, I love you too. You are my best friend. Yes, let's play something else. How about tea party?"
+
+Anna agrees. She says, "Tea party sounds fun. Let's go."
+
+She puts away her toy doctor kit and takes out her toy tea set. She and Teddy have a tea party and enjoy their pretend cake and cookies. They forget about the bulb and the water and have a good time.
+Anna was a young daughter who loved to play outside. She liked to run, jump, and swing on the big tree. She also liked to watch the birds and the flowers in the spring.
+
+One day, she saw a little bird on the ground. It had a broken wing and could not fly. Anna felt sorry for the bird and wanted to help it. She picked it up gently and brought it to her mother.
+
+"Mommy, look what I found!" she said. "A bird with a hurt wing. Can we make it better?"
+
+Her mother smiled and hugged her. "You are very kind, Anna. Let's see what we can do for the bird. Maybe we can wrap its wing with a cloth and give it some water and seeds."
+
+They took the bird inside and put it in a box with some soft grass. They gave it some water and seeds and wrapped its wing with a cloth. Anna named the bird Fluffy and talked to it softly.
+
+"Fluffy, you are my friend. I will take care of you until you can fly again. Then you can go back to your family and sing in the spring."
+
+Fluffy chirped and nuzzled Anna's hand. Anna felt happy and proud. She had helped a bird in need and made a new friend. She hoped that Fluffy would get well soon and spring into the sky.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play hide and seek in the big house. One day, they find a new room. It is dark and dusty. They see old toys and books.
+
+"Let's hide here!" Lily says. She runs to a closet and closes the door. Ben looks for a good spot. He sees a big bed with a blanket. He crawls under the blanket and waits.
+
+Lily counts to ten. Then she opens the closet and looks for Ben. She does not see him. She walks around the room. She hears a noise. It sounds like a boo.
+
+"Ben, is that you?" Lily asks. She is scared. She thinks there is a ghost in the room.
+
+"No, it's me!" Ben says. He comes out from under the blanket. He is sleepy. He fell asleep while hiding. He yawns and rubs his eyes.
+
+"Ben, you scared me!" Lily says. She is happy to see him. She hugs him. "You are not a ghost. You are my brother."
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to scare you. I was just tired. Can we go back to our room?" Ben says. He is sorry too. He holds Lily's hand.
+
+"Okay, Ben. Let's go. But don't lose me again!" Lily says. They leave the new room. They go back to their room. They are not scared anymore. They are sleepy. They go to bed and dream of happy things.
+Lily and Anna were best friends. They liked to play dress-up with their dolls and pretend they were princesses. One day, they found a big box of clothes in Lily's mom's closet. They took out some skirts, hats, and necklaces and put them on.
+
+"Look at me, I'm a fairy princess!" Lily said, spinning around in a pink skirt. "You can be my fairy friend!"
+
+Anna smiled and picked up a blue skirt. She liked blue more than pink. She put it on and said, "Yes, let's be fairy friends! We can fly and do magic!"
+
+They ran to the garden, holding hands and flapping their arms. They saw some flowers and butterflies and pretended they were their fairy friends too. They laughed and sang and had fun.
+
+But then, Lily saw a shiny silver skirt in the box. She wanted it. She ran back to the box and took off her pink skirt. She put on the silver skirt and said, "Wow, this is the most beautiful skirt ever! I'm the queen of the fairies now!"
+
+Anna followed her and saw the silver skirt. She wanted it too. She said, "No, Lily, that's not fair! You already had a skirt! Let me have the silver one!"
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, Anna, this is mine! You can have the pink one! It's pretty too!"
+
+Anna felt angry and sad. She said, "No, Lily, you're being mean! You're not my friend anymore!" She tried to pull the silver skirt from Lily.
+
+Lily screamed and said, "No, Anna, stop it! You're hurting me! You're not my friend anymore either!" She pushed Anna away.
+
+They both fell to the ground, crying and holding their skirts. They did not want to share. They did not want to play. They did not want to be friends. They remained on the ground, alone and unhappy.
+Lily and Tom were playing outside in the rain. They liked to splash in the puddles and make mud pies. They saw a big hill with many flowers and trees. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find a rainbow or a treasure!"
+
+"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But we need to be careful. The hill is wet and slippery."
+
+They held hands and started to walk up the hill. They saw many colors and shapes in the landscape. They saw birds and bugs and animals. They heard the rain and the wind and the thunder.
+
+They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a big lake with a bridge and a boat. They saw a house with a chimney and a garden. They saw a cloud with a silver lining and a sun peeking out.
+
+"Wow, Tom! Look at that!" Lily said. "It's so pretty and shiny!"
+
+"It's amazing, Lily!" Tom said. "It's like a fairy tale!"
+
+They smiled and hugged each other. They felt happy and warm. They wanted to stay there and watch the lake and the house and the cloud.
+
+But then they heard their mom calling them. She was standing at the bottom of the hill with an umbrella and a basket.
+
+"Lily! Tom! Come down, please! It's time to go home!" she said.
+
+"OK, mom!" they said. "We're coming!"
+
+They ran down the hill, holding hands. They were careful not to slip or fall. They reached their mom and gave her a hug.
+
+"Did you have fun, my darlings?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, mom! We had so much fun!" they said. "We saw a beautiful landscape with a lake and a house and a cloud!"
+
+"That sounds wonderful!" she said. "But you're all wet and muddy. Let's go home and get dry and clean."
+
+She opened the basket and took out two towels. She wrapped them around Lily and Tom and covered them with love. They felt cozy and safe. They thanked their mom and got in the car.
+
+They drove home, looking at the rain and the sky. They hoped to see the lake and the house and the cloud again. They dreamed of more adventures and stories. They were happy.
+Sara was very happy. She had a new doll. The doll had long hair and a pink dress. Sara wanted to play with her doll all day.
+
+She took her doll to the park. She saw her friend Ben. Ben had a truck. He liked to make noises with his truck. Vroom, vroom, he said.
+
+"Hi, Sara," Ben said. "Do you want to play with my truck?"
+
+"No, thank you," Sara said. "I want to play with my doll. She is very pretty."
+
+Ben looked at the doll. He did not like dolls. He thought they were boring. He wanted to play with something else.
+
+"Dolls are silly," Ben said. "They can't do anything. They can't move or talk or complete tasks. Trucks are better. They can go fast and carry things and complete tasks."
+
+Sara was sad. She did not like what Ben said. She loved her doll. She thought her doll could do many things. She could comb her hair and change her dress and complete tasks. She could also hug her doll and talk to her doll and pretend with her doll.
+
+"You are ignorant," Sara said to Ben. "You don't know anything about dolls. They are not silly. They are fun and smart and complete tasks. You are the one who can't do anything. You can only make noises with your truck."
+
+Ben was angry. He did not like what Sara said. He thought Sara was ignorant. He thought she did not know anything about trucks. He thought trucks were fun and smart and complete tasks. He thought Sara was the one who could only hug her doll and talk to her doll and pretend with her doll.
+
+They started to argue. They said mean things to each other. They did not want to play together anymore.
+
+They did not notice that a big dog came to the park. The dog was curious. He saw the doll and the truck. He wanted to play with them. He ran to them and grabbed them with his mouth. He ran away with them.
+
+Sara and Ben stopped arguing. They saw the dog. They saw their toys. They were scared. They wanted their toys back. They ran after the dog. They shouted at the dog. They tried to get their toys back.
+
+But the dog was faster. He ran out of the park. He ran to his home. He hid the doll and the truck under his bed. He was happy. He had new toys.
+
+Sara and Ben were sad. They lost their toys. They cried. They wished they had not argued. They wished they had been nice to each other. They wished they had played together. They wished they had their toys back.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a tray with some toys and a shovel. They wanted to bury the toys and find them again.
+
+"Let's bury this car here," said Tom, digging a hole with the shovel. "It is red and shiny."
+
+"OK," said Lily, putting the car in the hole. "Now let's bury this doll here. She has a pink dress and long hair."
+
+They buried the doll and some other toys. Then they covered them with dirt and grass.
+
+"Now we have to remember where they are," said Tom. "Let's make a map with this paper and crayon."
+
+They drew some lines and shapes on the paper. They tried to show where the toys were.
+
+"Look, this is the car, and this is the doll, and this is the ball," said Lily, pointing at the paper.
+
+"Good," said Tom. "Now let's go and have a snack. We can come back later and dig them up."
+
+They left the tray and the shovel in the garden. They went inside and had some cookies and milk. They felt fine. They were happy.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, fat melon on a table. It is green and round and smells good.
+
+"Wow, look at that melon!" Tom says. "I want to eat some. Do you want some, Sue?"
+
+"Yes, I do," Sue says. "But we can't take it. It belongs to someone else."
+
+They look around. They see a man sitting on a bench. He is reading a book. He does not see them.
+
+"Maybe he will share with us," Tom says. "Let's ask him nicely."
+
+They walk to the man. They say hello. They point to the melon.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Tom says. "Can we have some of your melon? We are very hungry and it looks yummy."
+
+The man looks at them. He smiles. He puts down his book.
+
+"Sure, you can have some," he says. "I have plenty. Here, take a slice each."
+
+He cuts the melon with a knife. He gives them each a big piece. They take it and bite into it. It is sweet and juicy. They make happy noises.
+
+"Thank you, sir," Sue says. "This is the best melon ever."
+
+"You're welcome, kids," the man says. "I'm glad you like it. Enjoy."
+
+Tom and Sue sit on the grass. They eat their melon. They share with each other. They are very happy. They thank the man again. They make a new friend.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their wagon in the park. They liked to fill it with leaves, rocks and sticks and pull it around. Sometimes they took turns riding in the wagon too.
+
+"Can I ride in the wagon now?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"No, it is my turn. You had a long turn before," Ben said.
+
+"But I want to ride again. Please, Ben, let me," Lily said.
+
+Ben shook his head. He refused to share the wagon. He pulled it away from Lily and ran to the other side of the park.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She followed Ben and tried to take the wagon from him. They both pulled hard on the handle and shouted at each other.
+
+A man with a funny hat and a big beard was walking his dog near them. He saw Ben and Lily fighting over the wagon. He stopped and smiled.
+
+"Hello, children. What is the problem?" he asked.
+
+Ben and Lily stopped pulling and looked at him. They saw his funny hat and his big beard and his dog. They felt shy and curious.
+
+"He won't let me ride in the wagon. He is mean," Lily said.
+
+"She wants to ride all the time. She is greedy," Ben said.
+
+The man nodded. He had an idea.
+
+"Why don't you both ride in the wagon together? Then you can share and have fun. I can pull you around the park. How does that sound?" he asked.
+
+Ben and Lily thought about it. They liked the idea of riding in the wagon together. They liked the idea of being pulled by the man with the funny hat and the big beard and his dog. They nodded and smiled.
+
+"Okay, thank you, mister," they said.
+
+They climbed into the wagon and held on. The man took the handle and started to pull them. His dog ran beside them and barked. They went around the park and saw the trees, the flowers, the birds and the people. They laughed and waved and had a good time.
+
+They learned to share and to be kind. They made a new friend. They had fun with their wagon.
+Tom is a very intelligent boy. He likes to learn new things and ask questions. He also likes to play with his toys and his dog, Max.
+
+One day, Tom and Max go to the park with Tom's mom. They see a big tree with many leaves. Tom wants to climb the tree and see what is up there.
+
+"Mom, can I climb the tree?" Tom asks.
+
+"Be careful, Tom. The tree is very high and you might fall," Mom says.
+
+"I will be careful, Mom. I want to see the birds and the sky," Tom says.
+
+He climbs the tree slowly and carefully. He holds on to the branches and steps on the trunk. He reaches the top and sees many things. He sees birds, clouds, cars, and houses. He feels happy and excited.
+
+"Mom, look! I can see everything from here!" Tom shouts.
+
+"Wow, Tom, you are very brave and intelligent. But it is time to come down now. We have to go home soon," Mom says.
+
+"OK, Mom. I will come down," Tom says.
+
+He starts to climb down the tree. But he makes a mistake. He steps on a branch that is weak and broken. The branch snaps and Tom falls.
+
+"Tom!" Mom screams.
+
+Max barks and runs to Tom. He sees Tom lying on the ground. He is not moving. He is hurt.
+
+Max is a very intelligent dog. He knows what to do. He runs to Mom and barks. He wants Mom to follow him. He wants Mom to bring help to Tom.
+
+"Max, what is it? Where is Tom?" Mom asks.
+
+Max barks again and runs to the tree. He looks at Tom and then at Mom. He wants Mom to understand.
+
+Mom follows Max and sees Tom. She is very scared and sad. She runs to Tom and hugs him. She cries and calls for help.
+
+"Tom, Tom, can you hear me? Please, wake up, Tom," Mom says.
+
+Tom opens his eyes. He feels pain in his head and his leg. He sees Mom and Max. He smiles weakly.
+
+"Mom, Max, I'm sorry. I fell from the tree. It was my fault," Tom says.
+
+"No, Tom, it's not your fault. You are very intelligent and curious. But you have to be more careful. You could have been very hurt. I'm so glad you are OK. Max is a very intelligent dog. He brought me to you. He saved you, Tom," Mom says.
+
+"Thank you, Max. You are a very good friend. You are a very intelligent dog," Tom says.
+
+Max wags his tail and licks Tom's face. He is happy that Tom is OK. He is happy that Mom is OK. He is happy that he is an intelligent dog.
+Tom 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 bushes or behind the trees.
+
+One time, the ball rolled into a big hole in the ground. Tom and Lily ran to the hole and looked inside. They saw a black cat lying on the ball. The cat was sleeping and did not hear them.
+
+"Look, a cat!" Lily said. "It has our ball!"
+
+"Let's get it back!" Tom said. "We need our ball to play!"
+
+Tom reached into the hole and tried to grab the ball. But the cat woke up and hissed at him. It scratched his hand with its sharp claws. Tom cried out and pulled his hand back.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom said. "The cat hurt me!"
+
+Lily saw Tom's hand bleeding. She felt sorry for him and angry at the cat. She picked up a stick and waved it at the cat.
+
+"Go away, cat!" Lily said. "You are bad! Give us our ball!"
+
+The cat did not like the stick. It jumped off the ball and ran away. Lily dropped the stick and took the ball. She gave it to Tom and hugged him.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily said. "Does your hand still hurt?"
+
+Tom looked at his hand. It had a red mark where the cat scratched him. But it did not bleed anymore. He smiled at Lily and squeezed the ball.
+
+"I'm okay, Lily," Tom said. "Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend."
+
+Lily smiled back at Tom and squeezed his hand.
+
+"Let's go play some more," Lily said. "But be careful of the hole. There might be more cats."
+
+Tom and Lily ran away from the hole and kicked the ball to each other. They had fun and forgot about the cat. They did not notice that the cat came back and watched them from the bushes. The cat was hungry and wanted to eat the ball. It thought the ball was a big mouse with a round stomach. But it did not dare to attack Tom and Lily again. It waited for them to leave. It hoped to restore its meal.
+Lily was a princess who loved to play with water. She had a big spray bottle that she filled with water and used to spray the flowers, the birds, and sometimes her cat. She liked to make things wet and shiny.
+
+One day, she saw a big cake on the table. It was for her brother's birthday. It had candles, frosting, and sprinkles. Lily thought it looked very yummy. She wanted to taste it, but she knew she had to wait. She decided to spray it a little bit, just to make it more shiny.
+
+She took her spray bottle and sprayed the cake. But she sprayed too much. The water made the frosting melt and the candles go out. The cake looked very sad and messy. Lily felt bad. She knew she did something wrong.
+
+She heard her mom coming. She hid under the table with her spray bottle. She hoped her mom would not see the cake.
+
+"Wow, what a beautiful cake!" her mom said. "I'm sure Jake will love it. Let me light the candles and call him."
+
+She took a match and tried to light the candles. But they were wet and would not light. She tried again and again, but nothing happened. She looked at the cake and saw the water and the melted frosting. She was very frustrated.
+
+"Who did this?" she asked. "Who ruined the cake?"
+
+Lily felt scared. She knew she had to tell the truth. She came out from under the table and said, "I'm sorry, mom. It was me. I sprayed the cake. I wanted to make it shiny. I didn't mean to ruin it."
+
+Her mom looked at her. She was angry, but also sad. She said, "Lily, you know you shouldn't spray things that are not yours. You know you shouldn't touch the cake before the party. You know you made a big mistake. How do you think Jake will feel when he sees his cake?"
+
+Lily thought about her brother. She loved him very much. She wanted him to be happy on his birthday. She felt very sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Jake. I love you both. I won't spray things anymore. Can we fix the cake?"
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. I'm glad you told the truth. But we can't fix the cake. It's too late. We have to get a new one. And you have to say sorry to Jake and help me clean up this mess."
+
+Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She learned that spraying things can be fun, but also dangerous. She learned that she should respect other people's things and wait for her turn. She learned that telling the truth is better than hiding. She learned that being a princess means being responsible and kind.
+Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sometimes they make a lot of noise and Mom tells them to be quiet. But today they are very good. They play with their rock collection. They sort the rocks by color and size. They make shapes and patterns with the rocks.
+
+"Look, I made a star!" Lila says, showing Tom her rock star.
+
+"That's nice. I made a circle," Tom says, pointing to his rock circle.
+
+They smile at each other. They are glad they have rocks to play with. They are glad they have each other.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud bang from outside. They jump and drop their rocks. They run to the window and look. They see a big truck on the street. The truck is carrying a lot of rocks. The truck driver is honking his horn. He is angry. He wants to move, but there is a car in front of him. The car is not moving. The car driver is talking on his phone. He is not paying attention.
+
+"What is that?" Lila asks, scared.
+
+"It's a truck. It has rocks, too. But they are not nice rocks. They are dirty and heavy," Tom says, frowning.
+
+"They are making too much noise. I don't like it," Lila says, covering her ears.
+
+"Me neither. Let's go back to our room. Let's play with our rocks again. They are quiet and pretty," Tom says, taking Lila's hand.
+
+They go back to their room. They pick up their rocks. They hug their rocks. They feel the rocks are smooth and cool. They rock their rocks gently. They listen to the silence. They are glad they have silence. They are glad they have rocks. They are glad they have each other.

+
+"Mine!" Lily says.
+
+"No, mine!" Ben says.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy. She says, "Stop quarreling, you two. It is time for dinner. Come to the table and share the puzzle later."
+
+Lily and Ben follow Mom to the kitchen. They see a big pot of soup and some bread. They smell something delicious. Mom says, "I made your favorite soup. It has carrots and potatoes and chicken. Do you want some?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are hungry. They sit on their chairs and Mom gives them each a bowl of soup and a slice of bread. They taste the soup and smile. It is warm and yummy. They say, "Thank you, Mom. This is a delicious dinner."
+
+Mom smiles too. She says, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you like it. And I'm glad you stopped quarreling. Can you be nice to each other and share the puzzle after dinner?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry for fighting. They say, "Yes, Mom. We can share. We love each other."
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "I love you too. Now, enjoy your dinner and have fun with the puzzle."
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play outside in the garden. They have a big bush near the fence. The bush has many red berries. Tim and Kim want to pick some berries for their mom.
+
+"Look, Kim, the berries are so pretty and yummy!" Tim says.
+
+"Yes, Tim, let's get some for mom. She will be happy!" Kim says.
+
+They run to the bush and try to reach the berries. But the bush is too high and prickly. They cannot get the berries.
+
+"Oh no, Tim, we cannot get the berries. They are too far and ouchy!" Kim says.
+
+"Don't worry, Kim, I have an idea. We can use the stool from the kitchen. It will help us get the berries." Tim says.
+
+He runs to the kitchen and gets the stool. He brings it to the bush and puts it on the ground. He climbs on the stool and picks some berries. He gives them to Kim.
+
+"Here, Kim, take these berries. They are for mom." Tim says.

+One day, Lila wanted to take her dolls outside and play in the grass. She asked her mom if she could do that, and her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and not lose or break her dolls. Lila promised to be careful and put her dolls in a basket. She went outside and found a nice spot in the grass, where she set up her dollhouse and her dolls.
+
+She was having a lot of fun, making her dolls talk and act and dress up. She did not notice that a big dog was running towards her. The dog was friendly, but he was also curious and playful. He saw the basket with the dolls and thought it was a toy. He jumped on the basket and knocked it over, spilling the dolls on the grass. He picked up one of the dolls with his mouth and shook it hard, tearing its dress and hair.
+
+Lila saw what the dog was doing and screamed. She ran to the dog and tried to get her doll back, but the dog was stronger and faster. He ran away with the doll, leaving Lila with the other dolls, some of them broken or dirty. Lila felt very sad and angry. She started to weep, holding her dolls close to her chest.
+
+Her mom heard her weep and came outside. She saw what had happened and hugged Lila. She said she was sorry and that she would try to fix her dolls. She also said that the dog did not mean to hurt her dolls, he just wanted to play. She asked Lila if she wanted to go inside and have some cookies and milk. Lila nodded, still weeping. She hoped that her dolls would be okay and that the dog would not come back. She loved her dolls very much and did not want to lose them.
+Lily and Ben are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the park to see the deer. Lily and Ben like deer. They have soft fur and big eyes. They eat grass and leaves.
+
+The car stops at a red light. Lily and Ben look out the window. They see a big deer on the sidewalk. The deer is brown and white. It has antlers on its head. The deer looks at the car. Lily and Ben wave at the deer. They want to say hello.
+
+But the deer does not wave back. The deer is impatient. It wants to cross the street. It does not like the cars and the noise. It looks for a gap in the traffic. It sees a green light. It stands up and runs across the street. It disappears into the trees.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They wanted to see the deer more. They wanted to touch the deer and feed the deer. They ask Mom and Dad if they can follow the deer. Mom and Dad say no. They say the deer is wild and scared. They say the park has more deer. They say they will see the deer soon.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They hope the deer is happy. They hope the park has friendly deer. They sit back in their seats and wait for the car to move. They look at the trees and the sky. They wonder what the deer is doing. They are excited to see the park.
+Tom likes to play with his box. He puts his toys in it and takes them out. He makes noises with his mouth and pretends the box is a car or a plane or a boat. He has fun with his box.
+
+One day, Tom finds a new toy in his box. It is a crocodile. It is green and has big teeth. Tom thinks it is cool. He picks it up and looks at it. He opens its mouth and closes it. It makes a snap sound. Tom likes the snap sound. He snaps the crocodile's mouth again and again.
+
+But then, Tom snaps the crocodile's mouth too hard. The crocodile breaks. Its head falls off. Tom is sad. He cries. He wants his crocodile back. He tries to put the head back on, but it does not work. He hugs the broken crocodile and says sorry.
+
+Mom hears Tom crying. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken crocodile and the box. She understands. She hugs Tom and says it is okay. She says she can fix the crocodile. She takes some glue and sticks the head back on. She waits for the glue to dry. She gives the crocodile back to Tom. Tom is happy. He says thank you. He snaps the crocodile's mouth gently. He puts it back in his box. He loves his box and his crocodile.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the forest. They see a big log. They want to climb on it.
+
+But the log is not a log. It is a bear. The bear is sleeping. He does not like to be woken up. He is angry.
+
+The bear opens his eyes. He sees Lily and Tom. He roars. He shows his teeth. He chases them.
+
+Lily and Tom are scared. They run away. They find their mom. They tell her what happened. She hugs them. She says they are safe.
+
+The bear goes back to sleep. He dreams of honey. He is not angry anymore.
+Tim and Mia are playing with their toy cars on the carpet. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving fast. Tim has a red car and Mia has a blue car.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, vroom!" Tim says, as he zooms his car around the carpet. "My car is the fastest!"
+
+"No, mine is!" Mia says, as she chases Tim's car with her own. "Beep, beep, beep!"
+
+They race and chase each other, having fun. But then, Tim's car bumps into Mia's car and makes it flip over.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Mia says, as she picks up her car. "You made my car fall!"
+
+"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Tim says, as he tries to help Mia. "It was an accident!"
+
+But Mia is angry. She does not want to play with Tim anymore. She picks up her car and throws it at Tim.
+
+"Ow!" Tim says, as he dodges the car. "Why did you do that?"
+
+Mia does not answer. She just roars like a lion and runs away.
+
+"Come back, Mia!" Tim says, as he follows her. "Don't be mad!"
+
+But Mia does not listen. She runs to her room and slams the door.
+
+Tim is sad. He does not want to fight with Mia. He wants to play with her. He knocks on the door and says, "Mia, Mia, please open the door. I'm sorry I made your car fall. Can we be friends again?"
+
+But Mia does not answer. She just roars louder.
+
+Tim does not know what to do. He sits on the carpet and waits. He hopes Mia will calm down and come out. He misses her. He wants to hear her beep, beep, beep.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a book under a tree. It had many words and pictures in it. Lily opened the book and saw a poem. She liked poems because they sounded nice.
+
+"Look, Tom, a poem!" she said. "Do you want to hear it?"
+
+Tom nodded. He did not know what a poem was, but he wanted to listen to Lily.
+
+Lily read the poem out loud. It was about a big, black spider who lived in a dark, old house. The spider liked to catch and eat flies, bees, and sometimes children. The poem said that the spider was very scary and had many eyes and legs.
+
+Tom did not like the poem. He felt afraid of the spider. He wanted Lily to stop reading.
+
+"Lily, stop!" he said. "I don't like the poem. It is scary. What is a spider?"
+
+Lily looked at Tom. She saw that he was scared. She wanted to explain to him what a spider was, but she did not know how. She only knew that spiders were small animals with many legs that made webs.
+
+"A spider is a spider," she said. "It is not real. It is just a poem."
+
+But Tom did not understand. He thought that the spider was real and that it was hiding in the book. He wanted to run away from the book and the spider.
+
+He grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her away from the tree. He ran as fast as he could. He did not see the road in front of him. He did not see the car that was coming.
+
+The car hit Tom and Lily. They fell to the ground. They did not get up. They did not play in the park anymore. They did not read poems anymore. They were gone.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the living room with their toys. They liked to pretend they were superheroes and villains. Tim was wearing a cape and a mask, and Lily had a crown and a wand. They were having fun, but they also wanted to know what their mom was doing in the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, what are you doing?" Tim asked, running to the door.
+
+"Shh, I have a surprise for you," Mom said, smiling. "But you have to wait until I'm done."
+
+Tim and Lily were curious. They wanted to see the surprise. They tried to peek through the door, but Mom closed it. They tried to listen, but they only heard some noises. They tried to guess, but they had no idea.
+
+"Maybe it's a cake," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe it's a toy," Tim said.
+
+"Maybe it's a newspaper," Lily said, picking up a paper from the floor.
+
+"What's a newspaper?" Tim asked.
+
+"It's a thing with words and pictures that tells you what's happening in the world," Lily said, pretending to read it.
+
+"That sounds boring," Tim said.
+
+"No, it's not. Look, this one says there's an incredible thing happening in the sky. It says there's a big, bright star that you can see at night. It says it's a sign of something good," Lily said, pointing at the paper.
+
+"Really? Let me see," Tim said, grabbing the paper.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Lily said, pulling it back.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Tim said, pulling it harder.
+
+They started to fight over the paper, tearing it apart. They made a lot of noise and mess. Mom heard them and opened the door.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asked, looking at the paper bits on the floor.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We were trying to see the surprise," Tim said.
+
+"What surprise?" Mom asked.
+
+"The incredible thing in the sky," Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at the paper and laughed. "Oh, that's not the surprise. That's just an old newspaper. The surprise is in the oven. Come and see."
+
+She led them to the kitchen and opened the oven. She revealed a big, delicious cake with candles and frosting. It had their names on it.
+
+"Happy birthday, Tim and Lily!" Mom said, hugging them. "You're both four years old today!"
+
+Tim and Lily gasped. They forgot it was their birthday. They felt happy and silly. They thanked Mom and apologized for the paper. They blew out the candles and ate the cake. They looked out the window and saw the star in the sky. They thought it was incredible. They decided to share the newspaper and read it together. They had a wonderful birthday.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers that bloom. They are pretty and smell good.
+
+One day, they hear a weird noise. It is loud and scary. They look around and see a big truck. The truck is digging a hole in the ground. It is making the noise.
+
+"Go away, truck!" Anna shouts. "You are hurting the flowers!"
+
+Ben runs to the truck. He tries to stop it. He bangs on the door. "Stop, stop, stop!" he yells.
+
+The truck driver sees Ben. He is surprised. He opens the door. He asks Ben, "What are you doing, little boy?"
+
+Ben points to the flowers. He says, "You are making a big mess. You are ruining the garden. The flowers are sad. They don't like the noise."
+
+The truck driver looks at the flowers. He feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, little boy. I didn't mean to hurt the flowers. I have to dig this hole for a new pipe. But I will be careful. I will not dig near the flowers. And I will fill the hole when I'm done."
+
+Ben nods. He says, "Thank you, mister. Please be nice to the flowers. They are our friends. They make us happy."
+
+The truck driver smiles. He says, "You are very brave and kind, little boy. And you have a good sister. You two take care of the flowers. And I will take care of the pipe. And maybe, when I'm done, I will give you a ride on the truck. Would you like that?"
+
+Ben and Anna smile. They say, "Yes, please!"
+
+They hug the truck driver. They go back to the garden. They watch the flowers bloom. They are happy. The end.
+Lily and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But their favorite animal was the otter. The otter was brown and furry, and it liked to swim and play in the water.
+
+"Look, mom, the otter is sliding on its belly!" Lily said, pointing at the pool.
+
+"That looks like fun, doesn't it?" mom said, smiling.
+
+"Can we slide too, mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Not here, Ben. The pool is for the otter, not for us. But maybe we can find a slide somewhere else in the zoo," mom said.
+
+They walked around the zoo, looking for a slide. They saw a big blue slide near the penguin house. It looked like a big wave.
+
+"Wow, mom, look at that slide!" Lily said, excited.
+
+"That looks like a great slide, Lily. Do you want to try it?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily said, nodding.
+
+"What about you, Ben?" mom asked.
+
+Ben looked at the slide. He felt a little scared. It was very high and fast.
+
+"I don't know, mom. It looks scary," Ben said, shaking his head.
+
+Mom hugged Ben. "It's okay, Ben. You don't have to slide if you don't want to. You can watch Lily and me, or you can look at the penguins. They are very cute and funny," mom said.
+
+Ben looked at the penguins. They were black and white, and they waddled and splashed in the water. They made funny noises.
+
+"Okay, mom. I will look at the penguins. Maybe they will make me laugh," Ben said.
+
+Mom kissed Ben. "That's a good idea, Ben. I'm sure they will. And maybe later, you can try the slide if you feel like it. No pressure, okay?" mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. Have fun, Lily!" Ben said.
+
+Lily ran to the slide. She climbed up the stairs and sat on the edge. She looked at mom and smiled.
+
+"Are you ready, Lily?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom. I'm ready. This is going to be awesome!" Lily said.
+
+She pushed herself off the edge and slid down the blue slide. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She screamed with joy.
+
+"Wheeeeee!" Lily said.
+
+She reached the bottom and splashed into a small pool of water. She got up and shook herself off. She looked at mom and Ben.
+
+"That was so fun, mom! That was the best slide ever! You have to try it, mom!" Lily said.
+
+She looked at Ben. "And you too, Ben! You will love it, I promise! It's not scary, it's fun! Come on, Ben, please!" Lily said.
+
+She ran to Ben and took his hand. She pulled him towards the slide.
+
+"Come on, Ben, please! Trust me, it's fun! I recommend it!" Lily said.
+
+Ben looked at Lily. He saw her happy face and sparkling eyes. He felt her warm hand and gentle pull. He looked at the slide. He felt a little curious. Maybe it was fun. Maybe he could try it. Just once.
+
+"Okay, Lily. Okay. I will try it. Just once," Ben said.
+
+Lily cheered. "Yay, Ben! Yay! You are brave, Ben! You are awesome, Ben! Come on, let's go!" Lily said.
+
+She dragged Ben to the slide. Mom followed them, smiling. She was proud of both of them. She was happy to see them have fun. She was glad they were siblings. She loved them very much.
+Tim and Mia liked to play outside. They had a big red ball that they could kick and throw. One day, they decided to play on the hill near their house. The hill was green and steep, and they could see far away.
+
+Tim and Mia wanted to see who could roll the ball down the hill faster. They were competitive and liked to win. They took turns to bring the ball to the top of the hill and roll it down. They counted how long it took for the ball to reach the bottom.
+
+Tim rolled the ball first. He pushed it hard and it went fast. Mia counted: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. The ball reached the bottom in seven counts. Tim was happy and said: "I am fast!"
+
+Mia rolled the ball next. She pushed it harder and it went faster. Tim counted: one, two, three, four, five, six. The ball reached the bottom in six counts. Mia was happy and said: "I am faster!"
+
+Tim and Mia rolled the ball again and again. They tried to beat each other's counts. They had fun and laughed a lot. They did not care who was faster. They just liked to play on the hill with their big red ball.
+Tim and Sam are friends who like to play music. They have a band with a drum, a guitar and a flute. They practice in Tim's room every day after school. They want to be good at music and make people happy.
+
+One day, they see a poster on the wall. It says there is a music contest at the park. The winner will get a big prize. Tim and Sam are excited. They want to join the contest and show their music.
+
+They go to the park with their band. There are many other bands there. Some have big keyboards, some have shiny trumpets, some have loud speakers. Tim and Sam feel poor. Their band is small and old. They wonder if they can win.
+
+They wait for their turn. They hear the other bands play. Some are fast, some are slow, some are loud, some are soft. Tim and Sam like some of the music, but not all of it. They think their music is different.
+
+They go on the stage. They see many people watching them. They feel nervous. They look at each other and smile. They start to play their music. They play with their heart. They play what they like. They play what they feel.
+
+The people listen to their music. They hear the drum, the guitar and the flute. They hear the rhythm, the melody and the harmony. They hear the joy, the sadness and the hope. They like their music. They clap their hands. They cheer their name.
+
+Tim and Sam finish their music. They bow to the people. They feel happy. They feel proud. They did their best. They go off the stage. They hug each other. They thank each other.
+
+The judge comes on the stage. He has a microphone. He says the name of the winner. He says it is Tim and Sam's band. He says they have the best music. He says they have the most heart. He gives them the big prize. It is a new guitar.
+
+Tim and Sam are surprised. They are happy. They are grateful. They go on the stage again. They take the prize. They thank the judge. They thank the people. They thank their band.
+
+They play their music again. They play with their prize. They play with their band. They play with their heart. They make people happy. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big red apple on a tree. They both want the apple.
+
+"I saw it first!" Tom says. He runs to the tree and tries to reach the apple.
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Lily says. She runs after Tom and pulls his leg.
+
+"Let go of me!" Tom says. He kicks Lily and makes her fall.
+
+"Ow! That hurts!" Lily says. She cries and hits Tom with her hand.
+
+Tom and Lily fight. They yell and push and bite. They do not see the old man who walks by. The old man is lazy. He does not like to work. He likes to eat.
+
+The old man sees the apple. He smiles and takes a stick. He pokes the apple with the stick and makes it fall. He picks up the apple and walks away.
+
+Tom and Lily stop fighting. They look at the tree. The apple is gone.
+
+"Where is the apple?" Tom says.
+
+"Who took the apple?" Lily says.
+
+They see the old man. He is eating the apple. He laughs and says, "Thank you, kids. You are so busy fighting, you do not see me. This is a good apple. Yum!"
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They are sorry. They hug and say, "We are sorry. We should not fight. We should share."
+
+They run after the old man. They say, "Hey, give us back our apple!"
+
+But the old man is too fast. He runs away with the apple. He says, "Too late, kids. Too late. Find another apple. Ha ha ha!"
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to observe the sky at night. They had a big window in their room that showed them many stars and sometimes the moon. They learned the names of some stars and planets from their dad, who had a book with pictures and stories about them.
+
+One night, they saw something new in the sky. It was a bright ball with a long tail that moved very fast. It looked like a big firework, but it did not make any noise. They ran to their dad and asked him what it was.
+
+"That is a comet, my loves," he said. "It is a big rock that travels around the sun, and sometimes we can see it when it comes close to the earth. It is very rare and beautiful, and some people think it brings good luck."
+
+Lila and Ben were amazed by the comet. They wanted to see it more and learn more about it. They asked their dad if they could stay up late and watch it.
+
+"Okay, but only for a little while," he said. "You still need to sleep and dream. Maybe you will dream about the comet and its adventures in space."
+
+They went back to their room and looked at the comet through their window. They imagined that it was a friend who came to visit them from far away. They wondered what it saw and felt as it flew across the sky. They wished they could talk to it and ask it questions.
+
+But then, something terrible happened. The comet suddenly became brighter and bigger, and then it exploded into many pieces. Lila and Ben gasped and cried out. They were scared and sad. They thought the comet was gone forever.
+
+They ran to their dad again and hugged him. They told him what they saw and asked him why the comet broke.
+
+"Don't worry, my loves," he said. "The comet is not gone. It just changed its shape. Sometimes, comets break up when they get too close to the sun or the earth. But the pieces are still there, and they will keep traveling in space. Maybe some of them will become new comets, or fall to the earth as shooting stars. Maybe we will see them again someday."
+
+Lila and Ben felt a little better. They still missed the comet, but they hoped it was happy and free in space. They thanked their dad for his words and gave him a kiss. They went back to their bed and snuggled together. They looked at the sky and saw some of the comet's pieces twinkling like diamonds. They smiled and whispered good night to the comet and to each other. They fell asleep and dreamed of comets.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to make a fort with the box.
+
+"Let's cut a door and a window," Tom says. He gets a pair of scissors from the kitchen. Mia nods and gets some napkins from the table. They use the napkins to decorate the box.
+
+They work hard and soon they have a nice fort. They crawl inside and pretend to be soldiers. They have fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Rex. Rex is big and strong. He likes to chew on things. He sees the box and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the box and bites it.
+
+"Rex, no!" Tom and Mia shout. They try to push Rex away, but he is too strong. He tears the box apart. He makes a big mess.
+
+Tom and Mia feel helpless. They are sad and scared. They cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the garage. She sees Rex and the box. She scolds Rex and puts him outside. She hugs Tom and Mia and says, "It's okay, my loves. Rex didn't mean to hurt you. He just wanted to play. But he should listen to you and not touch your things."
+
+She helps them clean up the mess. She gives them some cookies and milk. She says, "Why don't you take a nap? You must be tired after all that work and play."
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They are tired. They go to their room and lie down. They hold each other and fall asleep. They dream of a new fort. A fort that Rex can't break.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the basement. They liked to pretend they were explorers in a dark cave. They had a flashlight to see the way.
+
+"Look, Anna, I found a treasure!" Ben said. He held up a shiny necklace he had found in a box. "It is so pretty and impressive!"
+
+Anna smiled. She liked the necklace too. She wanted to get a closer look. She reached for the flashlight. "Can I see it, Ben?" she asked.
+
+But Ben did not want to share. He pulled the flashlight away from Anna. "No, it is mine!" he said. "You can find your own treasure!"
+
+Anna felt sad and angry. She did not like it when Ben was mean. She tried to get the flashlight again. "Give it to me, Ben!" she said.
+
+They both tugged on the flashlight. It was very strong. But then, something bad happened. The flashlight slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. It broke into pieces. The light went out.
+
+Anna and Ben were scared. They could not see anything. They heard a loud noise. It was their mom coming down the stairs.
+
+"Anna? Ben? What are you doing down here?" she asked. She turned on the light. She saw the broken flashlight and the necklace. She was not happy.
+
+"Anna and Ben, you have been very naughty!" she said. "You broke the flashlight and you made a mess. And you did not share. You have to say sorry to each other and to me. And you have to clean up this mess. Now!"
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry. They knew they had done wrong. They said sorry to each other and to their mom. They helped to clean up the mess. They learned to share and to be nice. They hugged their mom and each other. They were still friends.
+Jenny and Ben were friends who liked to create things with clay. They had many colors of clay, but their favorite was purple. They made purple flowers, purple animals, and purple stars.
+
+One day, they decided to create something new. They mixed all the colors of clay together and made a big ball. "What is this?" Jenny asked. "It is a magic ball," Ben said. "It can do anything we want."
+
+They took the magic ball outside and played with it. They threw it in the air, rolled it on the ground, and bounced it on the wall. They had a lot of fun. But then, they got hungry. "Let's eat something," Jenny said. "OK," Ben said. "But what?"
+
+They looked around and saw nothing to eat. They only had the magic ball. "Maybe we can eat the magic ball," Ben said. "It is magic, right? Maybe it will taste good." Jenny was not sure, but she was very hungry. "OK," she said. "Let's try it."
+
+They broke the magic ball in half and each took a bite. It was very hard and sticky. It did not taste good at all. It tasted like dirt and glue. They spit it out, but it was too late. The magic ball was stuck in their mouths and their stomachs. They felt very sick. They tried to scream, but they could not. They fell to the ground and did not move.
+
+A teacher saw them and ran to help. She called an ambulance and they took Jenny and Ben to the hospital. The doctor said they had to stay there for a long time. They had to get the magic ball out of their stomachs. It was very dangerous. They could have died.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not eat things that are not food. They can make you very sick or even kill you. Always ask an adult before you eat something new. And be careful with what you create. It may not be what you think.
+Lily was sad. She missed her grandma, who went to the sky. She wanted to hug her and hear her stories. She cried in her bed and hugged her teddy bear.
+
+"Mommy, I miss grandma," she said.
+
+Mommy came to her bed and kissed her head. She held Lily in her arms and comforted her.
+
+"I miss her too, my sweetie. But you know what? Grandma is always with us in our hearts. She is our spirit. She loves us and watches over us. She is very proud of you, Lily. You are so brave and kind and smart."
+
+Lily looked at mommy and smiled a little. She felt warm and safe.
+
+"Really? Grandma is proud of me?"
+
+"Yes, she is. And so am I. You are my precious Lily. Do you want to hear a story about grandma?"
+
+Lily nodded. She loved stories. Mommy told her a story about how grandma baked cookies and sang songs and played games with her when she was little. Lily laughed and clapped. She felt happy.
+
+"Thank you, mommy. I love you and grandma."
+
+"I love you too, Lily. And grandma loves you. Always remember that. Now, let's sleep. Good night, my angel."
+
+Mommy tucked Lily in and kissed her good night. Lily closed her eyes and dreamed of grandma. She felt her spirit in her heart. She was not sad anymore. She was proud.
+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She was very creative. She drew on paper, on walls, on books, on clothes. She did not care if she made a mess. She did not listen to Mommy and Daddy when they told her to stop.
+
+One day, Mommy and Daddy were very angry. They saw Lily's drawings on their new sofa. They asked Lily, "Did you do this?" Lily was scared. She did not want to get in trouble. She did not tell the truth. She said, "No, it was not me. It was the cat."
+
+Mommy and Daddy did not believe Lily. They knew she was lying. They said, "Lily, you have to wash the sofa. You have to wash all the things you drew on. You have to wash your hands and face. And you have to say sorry. You have to learn to tell the truth."
+
+Lily did not like to wash. She did not like to say sorry. She cried and cried. She said, "I do not want to wash. I do not want to say sorry. I want to draw. I want to be creative."
+
+Mommy and Daddy did not listen to Lily. They made her wash the sofa. They made her wash all the things she drew on. They made her wash her hands and face. And they made her say sorry. Lily was very unhappy. She did not have any fun. She did not have any crayons. She learned that lying was bad. She learned that being creative was not always good. She wished she had told the truth.
+Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their mom and dad. They liked to play outside, but they did not like winter. Winter was cold and gray and made their noses run. They wished winter would go away and spring would come.
+
+One day, their mom told them that they had a special guest coming to visit. It was their grandma, who lived far away in a warm place. Tom and Lily loved their grandma, who always brought them gifts and told them stories. They were very excited to see her.
+
+"Grandma is here!" their mom said, as she opened the door. Tom and Lily ran to hug her. Grandma smiled and kissed them.
+
+"Hello, my darlings! How are you?" she asked.
+
+"We are good, grandma. But we don't like winter. It's too cold and boring," Tom said.
+
+"Me too, Tom. I don't like winter either. That's why I came to see you. I wanted to bring you some sunshine and fun," grandma said.
+
+She opened her big suitcase and took out some colorful clothes, toys, books, and candy. Tom and Lily gasped. They had never seen so many things before. They felt like they were in a fairy tale.
+
+"Wow, grandma! You are so rich! You have so many things!" Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily. I'm not rich. I'm just lucky. I have you and your brother and your mom and dad. You are my treasure. And I want to share everything I have with you. Because I love you very much," grandma said.
+
+She hugged them again and said, "Now, let's go inside and have some hot chocolate. And then we can play and read and talk. And maybe, just maybe, we can make winter a little more fun."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and nodded. They followed grandma into the house, holding her hands. They felt warm and happy. They decided that winter was not so bad, after all. As long as they had grandma with them, they felt welcome.
+Sara and Tom love to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. They also love to eat ice cream. Ice cream is delicious and cold. They think the world is a happy place.
+
+One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has a sign that says "Free Ice Cream". Sara and Tom are very excited. They run to the truck and ask for ice cream.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Do you want some ice cream?" the man in the truck says. He smiles, but his smile is not nice.
+
+"Yes, please. We love ice cream!" Sara and Tom say.
+
+"OK, here you go. But you have to get in the truck first. I have more ice cream inside." the man says. He gives them a cone each.
+
+Sara and Tom take the cones and lick them. They are delicious. They want more. They follow the man to the truck. They do not see the other sign on the truck that says "Danger".
+
+The man closes the door behind them. He locks it. He starts the engine. He drives away. He laughs, but his laugh is not happy.
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They cry. They want to go back to the park. They want to see their mom and dad. They do not know where the man is taking them. They do not know what he will do to them. They wish they never took the ice cream. They think the world is a bad place.

+
+"Let's hide near the fence," Sam says. "We can see the jet from there."
+
+"OK," Mia says. "You hide first. I will count to ten."
+
+Sam runs to the fence and finds a good spot to hide. He lies down on the grass and looks up at the jet. It is shiny and white. He hears Mia counting.
+
+"Ten! Ready or not, here I come!" Mia shouts. She starts to look for Sam. She looks behind the trees, the benches, the swings. She does not see Sam.
+
+"Where are you, Sam?" Mia calls. "I can't find you!"
+
+Sam does not answer. He is too busy watching the jet. He does not hear Mia. He does not see the big sign on the fence. It says "Danger! High Voltage!"
+
+The jet flies over the fence. Sam smiles. He thinks it is cool. He reaches out his hand to touch the fence. He wants to feel the jet.
+
+Zap! Sam feels a shock. He screams. He falls to the ground. He does not move.
+
+Mia hears Sam scream. She runs to the fence. She sees Sam lying on the grass. She sees the sign. She sees the jet flying away.
+

+
+But Sam does not wake up. He is gone. Mia is alone. She is sad. She is scared. She wishes she never played hide and seek near the fence. She wishes she never saw the jet. She wishes Sam was still alive.

+
+Her mom comes and sees what happened. She hugs Lila and tells her it is okay. She says she is not angry. She says she loves her no matter what. She says the bracelet was cheap and old. She says she can buy a new one. She says the most important thing is that Lila is safe and sorry.

+
+She goes to her mom and says, "Mom, I cannot find a novel. Can you help me?"

+They go to the living room. They see a novel on the sofa. Lily is happy. She runs to the sofa and picks up the novel. But the novel is wet. It is wet because the window is open and the rain is coming in. The novel is wet and the pages are sticky and the words are blurry.
+
+Lily is sad. She says, "Mom, the novel is wet. I cannot read it. It is ruined."
+
+Mom hugs Lily and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. The novel is wet. But don't worry. We can dry it with a towel and a hairdryer. And we can go to the library and borrow another novel. Or we can make up our own story. What do you think?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She says, "I think I want to make up our own story. Can we do that?"
+
+Mom says, "Of course we can. Let's lie on the sofa and use our imagination. What kind of story do you want to tell?"
+
+Lily says, "I want to tell a story about a princess and a dragon and a magic ring."
+
+Mom says, "That sounds like a fun story. Let's begin. Once upon a time, there was a princess named Lily..."

+
+"Are you OK?" Mom asks.
+

+
+Mom lifts the cabinet. She frees Tim and Kim. She hugs them.
+
+"Thank God you are OK!" Mom says.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We were curious. We wanted to see what is inside the cabinet." Tim and Kim say.
+
+Mom looks inside the cabinet. She sees nothing. It is empty.
+
+"There is nothing inside the cabinet. It is a stupid cabinet. It is for decoration. It is not for playing." Mom says.
+
+Tim and Kim feel silly. They learned a lesson. They say sorry to Mom. They promise not to play with the cabinet again. Mom forgives them. She gives them a snack and a toy. They are happy. They love Mom.

+
+One day, Tom saw a big white bird in the sky. He wanted to make a birdhouse for it, so he took some lumber from Sam's boat. He did not ask Sam, because he thought Sam would not mind. He made a nice birdhouse and hung it on a tree.
+
+Sam came out to play with his boat, but he saw that some lumber was missing. He was very angry, and he looked for Tom. He found him near the tree, and he shouted, "Tom, you took my lumber! That was not nice! You should have asked me first!"

+
+Tom hugged Sam, and he said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good brother. Next time, I will ask you. And I will help you replace the lumber for your boat."
+
+The brothers smiled, and they played together. They learned to share and to respect each other's things. The white bird stayed in the birdhouse, and it became their friend.
+Anna and Ben were playing outside 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. They were very happy with their snowman.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so beautiful!" Anna said.

+
+They looked out the window and saw their snowman. He was still beautiful. But he looked a little lonely.
+
+"Mom, can we go outside again and play with our snowman?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, you can. But put on your coats and gloves and boots. And don't stay too long. It's getting dark." Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom. We will." Anna and Ben said.
+
+They put on their winter clothes and ran outside. They hugged their snowman and played with him. They made him a snow dog and a snow cat. They had fun.

+
+"No, I saw her first!" Tom says. "She is mine. Give her to me."
+
+They both pull the baby doll and start to quarrel. The baby doll cries and makes a loud noise.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She comes to the attic and sees the quarrel. "What are you doing? You are hurting the baby doll. She is not a toy. She is a real baby."
+
+Tom and Lily are shocked. They let go of the baby doll and look at Mom.
+
+"A real baby?" they ask.
+
+"Yes, a real baby. She is your cousin. She was born last week. Your aunt gave her to me to take care of her for a while. She is very rare and special. You have to be gentle and kind to her."
+
+Tom and Lily feel sorry. They hug the baby doll and say sorry.
+
+"Can we play with her, Mom?" they ask.
+
+"Of course, you can. But only if you share and don't quarrel. She needs your love and attention. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They smile and kiss the baby doll.
+
+"We love you, baby," they say. "You are our rare and precious cousin."

+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big mushroom under a tree. Sara wants to touch it, but Ben stops her.
+
+"Wait, Sara. Maybe it is not good to touch. Maybe it is bad for us." Ben says.
+
+"Why?" Sara questions. She likes the mushroom. It is brown and round and soft.
+
+"I don't know. But some mushrooms can make us sick. And some can make us see funny things. We should ask mom or dad first." Ben says.
+
+"Okay. Let's go find them." Sara says. She is a little sad, but she listens to Ben. He is her big brother and he knows more things.
+
+They run to their parents, who are sitting on a bench. They show them the mushroom and ask if they can touch it.

+
+"Good idea!" Ben says. "Let's go to the fountain!"
+
+They run to the fountain and wet their hair. Then they squeeze some shampoo on their heads and rub it. They make bubbles and laugh.
+
+But then a lady comes to the bench. She looks angry. She sees the shampoo bottle in Lily's hand.
+
+"Hey, that's my shampoo!" she says. "You took it from my bench!"
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They don't know what to say.
+
+"Sorry, lady," Lily says. "We didn't know it was yours. We just wanted to play."
+
+The lady sighs. She sees that Lily and Ben are honest. They did not mean to steal.
+
+"It's okay," she says. "But next time, don't take things that are not yours. And don't waste shampoo. It's for washing, not playing."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They feel sorry. They give the shampoo bottle back to the lady.
+
+"Thank you," the lady says. "What are your names?"
+
+"I'm Lily," Lily says.
+
+"I'm Ben," Ben says.

+
+"But Mom, cleaning is boring. TV is fun. Can we watch TV for a little bit?" Mia begs.
+
+"No, Mia, you have to clean your room first. It is not fair to leave it messy. You have to be responsible," Mom says.
+
+Sam and Mia sigh. They go to their room. They start to clean. They pick up the toys and put them in the box. They pick up the clothes and put them in the hamper. They make their beds and dust their shelves. They work hard and fast. They want to finish soon.
+
+They are almost done when they hear a weird noise. It sounds like a beep. They look at each other. They wonder what it is. They follow the noise. It comes from the TV in the living room. They go to the living room. They see the TV. It is on. But it is not showing a show. It is showing a message. It says: "Good job, Sam and Mia. You cleaned your room. You are very good kids. Now you can watch TV. Love, Mom."
+
+Sam and Mia are surprised. They look at the TV. They look at each other. They smile. They think Mom is very clever. They think Mom is very nice. They hug Mom and say thank you.

+Lily and Ben were playing in the big house. They liked to explore the rooms and find new things. One day, they found a door that was locked. They wondered what was behind it.
+
+"Maybe it is a secret room," Lily said. "Maybe there are toys or books or candy."
+
+"Or maybe it is a scary room," Ben said. "Maybe there are monsters or spiders or ghosts."
+
+They wanted to open the door, but they did not have a key. They looked around for something to help them. They saw a piano in the hall. It was shiny and black and had many keys.
+
+"Maybe one of these keys can open the door," Lily said. She ran to the piano and tried to pull out a key. But the keys were stuck and did not move.
+
+"Stop, Lily, stop!" Ben said. "You will break the piano. It is not for opening doors. It is for making music."
+
+He showed Lily how to press the keys and make sounds. Lily liked the sounds. They were high and low and loud and soft. She pressed the keys too and made her own music.
+
+They forgot about the door and played with the piano. They had fun and laughed and sang. They did not see the old lady who came down the stairs. She was the owner of the big house and the piano. She smiled when she heard the children.
+
+"Hello, little ones," she said. "Do you like my piano?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Lily and Ben said. "It is very nice and pretty and fun."
+
+"I'm glad you think so," the old lady said. "It is a very special piano. It has a hidden secret. Do you want to know what it is?"
+
+"Yes, please," Lily and Ben said. They were curious and excited.
+
+The old lady bent down and lifted the lid of the piano. Inside, there was a small key. She took it out and gave it to Lily.
+
+"This is the key to the locked door," she said. "It is my gift to you. You can open the door and see what is inside. But you have to promise me something."
+
+"What is it?" Lily and Ben asked.
+
+"You have to promise me that you will always be kind and gentle with the piano. It is very old and precious and it loves to be played. Will you promise me that?"
+
+"Yes, we promise," Lily and Ben said. They hugged the old lady and thanked her.
+
+They ran to the door and used the key to open it. They were amazed by what they saw. It was a room full of toys and books and candy. It was the best room ever.
+
+They played and read and ate and had a wonderful time. They also went back to the piano and played some more. They were happy and grateful. They had found a hidden treasure and a new friend.
+Lily loved to collect things. She had a big box full of shiny rocks, soft feathers, and pretty shells. She liked to look at them and sort them by color and shape. She was very proud of her collection.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new thing in the sky. It was a big red thing with a lot of lights. It was flying very fast and making a loud noise. Lily was curious and wanted to see it better. She ran outside and followed it with her eyes.
+
+She saw that the big red thing had a lot of animals behind it. They had horns and fur and looked like big deer. Lily thought they were very beautiful and wanted to have one. She thought they would make a good addition to her collection.
+
+She ran after the big red thing and the animals, but they were too fast for her. She shouted, "Stop! Stop! I want one of your deer!" But the big red thing and the animals did not stop. They flew away and disappeared in the night.
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She stamped her feet and cried. She thought it was not fair that the big red thing and the animals did not share with her. She did not know that they were Santa and his reindeer, and that they were busy delivering presents to good children. She did not know that she was being very spoiled and selfish. She only wanted to collect things for herself.
+Lila was in the garden with her mom. She saw a purple butterfly on a flower. She liked the butterfly. She wanted to catch it.
+
+"Mom, I need the butterfly!" she said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Be careful, Lila," her mom said. "Butterflies are gentle. You can look at them, but don't hurt them."
+
+Lila nodded. She walked slowly to the flower. She reached out her hand. The butterfly flew away.
+
+"Oh no!" Lila said. "The butterfly is gone!"
+
+"Don't be sad, Lila," her mom said. "There are many butterflies in the garden. Maybe you can find another one."
+
+Lila smiled. She ran to another flower. She saw a yellow butterfly. She liked the yellow butterfly too. She wanted to catch it.
+
+"Mom, I need the yellow butterfly!" she said. "It is so bright!"
+
+"Be careful, Lila," her mom said. "Butterflies are gentle. You can look at them, but don't hurt them."
+
+Lila nodded. She walked slowly to the flower. She reached out her hand. The butterfly flew away.
+
+"Oh no!" Lila said. "The yellow butterfly is gone too!"
+
+"Don't be sad, Lila," her mom said. "There are many butterflies in the garden. Maybe you can find another one."
+
+Lila looked around. She saw a red butterfly. She liked the red butterfly the most. She wanted to catch it.
+
+"Mom, I need the red butterfly!" she said. "It is so beautiful!"
+
+"Be careful, Lila," her mom said. "Butterflies are gentle. You can look at them, but don't hurt them."
+
+Lila nodded. She walked slowly to the flower. She reached out her hand. The butterfly stayed on the flower. It did not fly away.
+
+"Wow!" Lila said. "The red butterfly is not scared of me!"
+
+She touched the butterfly gently. The butterfly moved its wings. It tickled Lila's fingers.
+
+Lila laughed. She was happy. She had a new friend.
+
+"Mom, look!" she said. "The red butterfly likes me!"
+
+Her mom smiled. She took a picture of Lila and the butterfly.
+
+"That's wonderful, Lila," she said. "You are very lucky. You have a special bond with the butterfly."
+
+Lila hugged the butterfly softly. She thanked it for staying with her.
+
+"Thank you, butterfly," she said. "You are the best butterfly ever!"
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they saw a big factory with many colorful things inside. They wanted to go in and see what they were.
+
+"Can we go in and look?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is not for us," Ben said.
+
+But Anna was curious and brave. She pulled Ben by the hand and said, "Come on, let's go. We can borrow some things and play with them. We will give them back later."
+
+They sneaked into the factory and saw many attractive toys. They picked some and ran outside. They were very happy and played with them for a long time.
+
+But soon, they heard a loud voice. It was the owner of the factory. He was angry and sad. He said, "Who took my toys? I made them for the children who have no toys. They are waiting for them. How can you be so selfish and mean?"
+
+Anna and Ben felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they did something wrong. They ran back to the factory and gave back the toys. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We did not know. We just wanted to play. Please forgive us."
+
+The owner of the factory looked at them and sighed. He said, "I forgive you, but you should not borrow things without asking. You should respect other people's work and property. And you should share what you have with others who need it more. That is the right thing to do."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said, "We understand, sir. We will not do it again. We will share our toys with other children. Thank you for teaching us a lesson."
+
+They hugged the owner of the factory and left. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned to be honest, respectful and generous. They became better friends and better people.

+"Oh no!" Anna says. "We broke the angel!"
+
+Ben feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to break it. You can have the angel."
+
+Anna feels bad too. She says, "No, Ben. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pulled it. You can have the angel."
+
+They look at each other and smile. They decide to share the angel. They hug each other and say, "We love you, twin."
+
+They hug the angel too and say, "We love you, angel."
+
+The angel smiles and says, "I love you, Anna and Ben. You are good twins. You can fix my wing with some tape and glue. Then we can play together."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They run to get some tape and glue. They fix the angel's wing and make it look new. They play with the angel and have fun. They are not competitive anymore. They are kind and gentle. They are good twins.
+Ben and Mia were having lunch with their mom. They liked cheese very much, so mom gave them each a big slice of yellow cheese. Ben and Mia smiled and said thank you.
+
+But then Ben had a naughty idea. He looked at Mia and said, "Let's play a game. I throw my cheese at you, and you throw your cheese at me. It will be fun!"
+
+Mia thought for a moment. She liked cheese, but she also liked games. She nodded and said, "OK, let's play. But don't throw too hard, or it will hurt."
+
+Ben and Mia waited until mom was busy in the kitchen. Then they started to throw their cheese at each other. They laughed and dodged and made a mess. Cheese flew everywhere, on the table, on the floor, on the wall, on the window.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came back to the dining room. She saw the cheese and the children and was very angry. She said, "Ben and Mia, what are you doing? This is not a game, this is a waste of food. And look how pale you are, you need to eat your cheese, not throw it. Go to your room, now!"
+
+Ben and Mia felt sorry and scared. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We won't do it again. Please don't be mad at us."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed. You know better than to play with your food. Go to your room and think about what you did. And no more cheese for you today."
+
+Ben and Mia went to their room and sat on their beds. They looked at each other and said, "That was a bad idea. We should have eaten our cheese, not thrown it. We love cheese, and we love mom. We don't want to make her sad."
+
+They hugged and said, "We're sorry, cheese. We're sorry, mom. We'll be good next time."
+Sam likes to stand and watch the motorcycles go by. He likes the loud noises and the shiny colors. He wants to ride a motorcycle when he grows up.
+
+One day, he sees a big motorcycle parked outside his house. It is red and black and has a lot of stickers. Sam runs to the motorcycle and touches it. He feels the smooth metal and the rubber tires.
+
+"Hey, kid, what are you doing?" a voice says. Sam looks up and sees a man with a leather jacket and a helmet. He is the owner of the motorcycle.
+
+"Sorry, mister, I just like your motorcycle," Sam says.
+
+"Well, you can look, but don't touch, okay? It's not a toy," the man says.
+
+"Okay, mister, I won't touch it. Can I ask you something?" Sam says.
+
+"Sure, kid, what is it?" the man says.
+
+"How does it feel to ride a motorcycle? Is it fun?" Sam says.
+
+The man smiles and says, "It's the best feeling in the world, kid. It's like flying, but on the ground. You feel the wind and the speed and the freedom. It's awesome."
+
+"Wow, that sounds cool. Can I ride with you someday?" Sam says.
+
+"Maybe, kid, maybe. But first, you have to grow up a little bit more. And you have to wear a helmet and a jacket and gloves. And you have to listen to the rules of the road. And you have to be careful and respectful of other drivers. And you have to love motorcycles with all your heart. Do you think you can do that?" the man says.
+
+"Yes, mister, I can do that. I love motorcycles with all my heart. They are my favorite thing in the world," Sam says.
+
+"Good, kid, good. Then maybe someday, you can ride with me. But for now, you have to go back to your house and play with your toys. And maybe have a snack. Do you like snacks?" the man says.
+
+"Yes, mister, I like snacks. But not sour ones. They make my face funny," Sam says.
+
+The man laughs and says, "Me too, kid, me too. Sour snacks are no good. They make your tongue hurt. You know what I like? I like sweet snacks. Like cookies and candy and cake. Do you like sweet snacks?"
+
+"Yes, mister, I like sweet snacks. They make me happy. Do you have any sweet snacks?" Sam says.
+
+The man reaches into his jacket and pulls out a candy bar. He unwraps it and breaks it in half. He gives one half to Sam and says, "Here, kid, this is for you. A sweet snack for a sweet kid. Enjoy."
+
+"Thank you, mister, thank you. You are very nice. Can I be your friend?" Sam says.
+
+The man smiles and says, "Sure, kid, sure. You can be my friend. And maybe someday, you can be my riding buddy. But for now, you have to go back to your house and eat your candy. And don't forget to brush your teeth. And say hi to your mom and dad. And have a good day. Okay?"
+
+"Okay, mister, okay. I will do that. And I will see you again. And I will ride with you someday. Goodbye, mister. Goodbye, motorcycle," Sam says.
+
+He waves to the man and runs back to his house. He eats his candy and brushes his teeth. He tells his mom and dad about his new friend and his motorcycle. He plays with his toys and dreams of riding. He is very happy. He likes to stand and watch the motorcycles go by.
+Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swing. They took turns to push each other. They had fun.
+
+But then Ben felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to stop it, but he could not. He sneezed very loud. "Achoo!"
+
+Lily looked at him and laughed. "You sound like a big bear, Ben!"
+
+Ben rubbed his nose and smiled. "I'm not a bear, I'm a boy. A regular boy."
+
+Mom came over with a tissue. She wiped Ben's nose and gave him a hug. "Bless you, Ben. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben nodded. "I'm okay, Mom. Can I play some more?"
+
+Mom checked his forehead. He was not hot. He was not sick. He just sneezed. "Sure, you can play some more. But don't forget to cover your mouth when you sneeze, okay?"
+
+Ben and Lily said, "Okay, Mom." They went back to the swing. They pushed each other again. They had fun. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, Anna goes to visit Ben at his house. Ben's mom says hello and gives them some juice and cookies.
+
+"Ben, do you want to show Anna your new toy?" Ben's mom asks.
+
+"Yes, mom. Come, Anna, I have a big truck. It can make noise and move fast." Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben go to Ben's room. They play with the truck and other toys. They have fun. They laugh and talk.
+
+"Anna, look, my truck can go up and down the hill." Ben says.
+
+"Wow, that's cool. Can I try?" Anna says.
+
+"Sure, here you go." Ben says.
+
+Anna takes the truck and makes it go up and down the hill. She likes it.
+
+"Beep, beep, watch out!" Anna says.
+
+They play for a long time. Then they hear Ben's mom call them.
+
+"Kids, it's time to end your play. Anna's mom is here to pick her up." Ben's mom says.
+
+"Okay, mom. We're coming." Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben put away the toys and go to the living room. They see Anna's mom waiting for them.
+
+"Hi, Anna. Did you have a good visit?" Anna's mom asks.
+
+"Yes, mom. Ben has a new truck. It's awesome." Anna says.
+
+"I'm glad you had fun. Thank you, Ben, for sharing your toys. And thank you, Ben's mom, for having us." Anna's mom says.
+
+"You're welcome. Anna is a nice and healthy girl. You can come again anytime." Ben's mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben hug and say goodbye. Anna and her mom go to their car. Ben and his mom wave at them.
+
+"Bye, Anna. See you soon." Ben says.
+
+"Bye, Ben. Thanks for playing." Anna says.
+
+They smile and drive away. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has sharp teeth and a loud bark. Lily is scared of the dog. Ben is not scared. He wants to pet the dog.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go and say hello to the dog," Ben says.
+
+"No, Ben, the dog is dangerous. He might bite us. Let's go back to Mommy," Lily says.
+
+But Ben does not listen to Lily. He runs to the dog. The dog does not like Ben. He growls and snaps at Ben. Ben tries to run away, but the dog is faster. He catches Ben and bites his thumb. Ben screams and cries. Lily runs to help Ben. She kicks the dog and shouts for Mommy.
+
+Mommy hears Lily and Ben. She runs to the park. She sees the dog and the twins. She is very angry and scared. She grabs the twins and takes them away from the dog. She calls the police and the doctor.
+
+The doctor comes and looks at Ben's thumb. He says Ben needs to go to the hospital. He says Ben might get sick from the dog's bite. He says Ben was very silly to go near the dog. He says Lily was very brave to help Ben.
+
+Lily and Ben go to the hospital. Ben has to lie in a bed. He has to get a shot and a bandage. He is in a lot of pain. He is very sorry for not listening to Lily. He says he will never go near a dangerous dog again.
+
+Lily sits next to Ben. She holds his hand. She is sad for Ben. She says she loves him. She says she hopes he will get better soon.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with a long tail and a shiny collar. The dog was friendly and wagged its tail. Tom and Lily liked the dog, but they did not know its name.
+
+"Let's ask the dog's owner," Tom said. He was brave and liked to talk to new people. "Maybe he will let us pet the dog."
+
+Lily was not so brave. She was shy and scared of strangers. She did not want to ask the dog's owner. She hid behind Tom and held his hand.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Tom said to the man who was sitting on a bench. "What is your dog's name?"
+
+The man smiled and looked at Tom and Lily. He was kind and gentle. He liked children and animals.
+
+"His name is Max," the man said. "He is a good dog. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+Tom nodded and smiled. He let go of Lily's hand and walked to the dog. He reached out his hand and touched the dog's fur. It was soft and warm. The dog licked Tom's hand and made a happy sound.
+
+Lily watched Tom and the dog. She saw that they were having fun. She felt curious and brave. She wanted to pet the dog too.
+
+She took a deep breath and walked to the dog. She had a question in her mind.
+
+"Can I pet him too?" she asked the man.
+
+The man nodded and smiled. He was proud of Lily for being brave.
+
+"Of course you can," he said. "Max likes you too."
+
+Lily touched the dog's fur. It was soft and warm. The dog licked Lily's hand and made a happy sound.
+
+Tom and Lily laughed and hugged the dog. They made a new friend. They thanked the man and said goodbye to Max. They went back to playing in the park. They were happy and brave.
+Lily was a girl who liked to name things. She named her doll Anna, her teddy bear Bob, and her fish Finn. She liked to go to the zoo and name the animals there too. She named the lion Leo, the monkey Mimi, and the zebra Zara.
+
+One day, she saw a big elephant at the zoo. She had never seen an elephant before. She wanted to name it. She thought of a name that she liked. She said, "I will name you Pinky, because you are pink."
+
+But the elephant was not pink. It was gray. It did not like the name Pinky. It thought it was a silly name. It was angry at Lily. It said, "I am not Pinky. I am Ellie. That is a good name for an elephant. You are a bad girl. You do not know how to name things."
+
+Lily was scared of the elephant. She did not know it could talk. She did not know it was angry. She said, "I am sorry, Ellie. I did not mean to make you mad. I just liked the name Pinky. Please do not be mad at me."
+
+But the elephant did not listen. It was still mad. It lifted its trunk and sprayed water at Lily. Lily got wet and cold. She cried. She ran away from the elephant. She did not like the zoo anymore. She did not like to name things anymore. She had a bad day.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Anna has a new doll. It is gray and has a pink dress. Ben likes the doll too. He asks Anna if he can play with it.
+
+"Can I have your doll?" Ben says.
+
+"No, it is mine. Mommy gave it to me," Anna says.
+
+"Please, just for a little bit. I will be careful," Ben says.
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She likes Ben, but she also likes her doll. She does not want to share it. She has an idea.
+
+"OK, you can have my doll, but you have to send me your car," Anna says.
+
+"Send you my car? How?" Ben says.
+
+"You can put it in a box and give it to the mailman. He will bring it to my house," Anna says.
+
+Ben does not like this idea. He loves his car. It is red and shiny and makes noises. He does not want to give it away.
+
+"No, I don't want to send you my car. That is not fair," Ben says.
+
+"Yes, it is. You want my doll, I want your car. That is honest," Anna says.
+
+Ben shakes his head. He does not agree. He decides he does not want the doll anymore. He likes his car more.
+
+"Fine, I don't want your doll. It is gray and boring. My car is better," Ben says.
+
+He picks up his car and walks away. Anna hugs her doll and smiles. She is happy. She does not need Ben's car. She has her doll. It is gray and pretty. She likes it.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the floor and make noises.
+
+One day, Lily finds a belt in her mom's closet. It is shiny and has a big buckle. Lily thinks it is cute. She puts it around her waist and says, "Look, Tom, I have a belt like a driver!"
+
+Tom sees the belt and wants it too. He says, "No, Lily, that is my belt! Give it to me!" He tries to grab the belt from Lily, but she holds it tight.
+
+Lily and Tom start to fight over the belt. They pull and tug and shout. Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the belt and says, "Stop, Lily and Tom, that is not a toy! That is my belt, and it is not for playing!"
+
+Lily and Tom feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, mom, we did not know. We just wanted to be drivers." Their mom smiles and says, "It's okay, I understand. But belts are not for driving, they are for keeping your pants up. If you want to be drivers, you can use these instead." She gives them each a hat and a scarf. Lily and Tom put them on and say, "Thank you, mom, these are cute too!"
+
+Lily and Tom go back to their toy cars. They wear their hats and scarves and pretend to drive. They have fun and share their cars. They do not fight over the belt anymore.
+Lily liked to spoil her toys. She did not play with them nicely. She threw them, cut them, and painted them. She did not care if they broke or got dirty.
+
+One day, her mom gave her a new toy. It was a globe. It showed the world with many colors and shapes. Lily thought it was interesting. She wanted to see what was inside.
+
+She took a knife from the kitchen and tried to cut the globe. But it was hard and round. She could not cut it. She got angry and pushed the globe off the table. It rolled away and hit the wall.
+
+"Ouch!" said a voice from the globe. Lily was surprised. She looked at the globe and saw a face. It was a face of a boy. He looked sad and hurt.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked.
+
+"I am Tom," said the boy. "I live in the world. You hurt me and the world. Why did you do that?"
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not know the world was alive. She did not know she could hurt it.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," she said. "I wanted to see what was inside. I like to spoil my toys. But you are not a toy. You are a friend."
+
+Tom smiled. He was happy that Lily said sorry. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But please don't spoil the world. The world is beautiful and precious. It has many interesting things to see and learn. If you spoil it, you spoil yourself too."
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She picked up the globe and hugged it. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are right. The world is beautiful and precious. And so are you. I will not spoil the world. I will take care of it. And I will take care of you too."
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily liked to play music. They had a big piano in their house. They could make loud and soft sounds with it. Sometimes they sang songs too.
+
+One day, they wanted to play a new song. They looked at a book with many black and white marks. They tried to copy the marks with their fingers on the piano. But they did not know what the marks meant. They made funny and strange sounds.
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was their mom. She was laughing. She said, "What are you doing, my little musicians? You are playing the piano upside down!"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the book. They saw that they had turned it the wrong way. They felt silly and helpless. They did not know how to play the piano right.
+
+But they did not feel sad. They laughed with their mom. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to play a new song. But we did not understand the book. Can you teach us how to play the piano?"
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "Of course, I can. I love to play music with you. But first, let's turn the book the right way. Then we can learn the song together."
+Lila and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. They saw a big maze made of green plants and wanted to go inside. They asked their mom if they could.
+
+"Can we go in the maze, mom?" Lila said.
+
+"Please, mom, please?" Tom said.
+
+Mom looked at the maze and smiled. "Okay, but only if you stay together and come back soon. I will permit you to go in the maze, but be careful."
+
+"Yay, thank you, mom!" Lila and Tom said. They ran to the entrance of the maze and held hands.
+
+They had fun exploring the maze. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They tried to find the way out, but they got lost. They turned left and right and left and right, but they only saw more plants.
+
+"Where are we, Lila?" Tom said.
+
+"I don't know, Tom. Maybe we should ask for help." Lila said.
+
+They shouted, "Mom, mom, where are you?"
+
+Mom heard them and came to the maze. She looked for them and saw a small opening in the plants. She crawled through it and found them.
+
+"There you are, my sweeties. I'm here to help you." Mom said.
+
+"Mom, we're sorry. We got lost in the maze." Lila and Tom said.
+
+"It's okay, don't worry. I'm glad you stayed together. Follow me, I know the way out." Mom said.
+
+She took their hands and led them through the maze. She was very graceful and knew how to avoid the dead ends and the thorns. She showed them the exit and they came out of the maze.
+
+They hugged mom and thanked her. They were happy to see the sun and the sky again.
+
+"Did you have fun in the maze?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom, we did. But we're glad you're here." Lila and Tom said.
+
+They walked back to the bench where they left their snacks and drinks. They shared them with mom and told her about their adventure in the maze. Mom listened and smiled. She was proud of her twins. They were brave and curious and kind. She loved them very much.
+Tommy and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were police and catch bad guys. Tommy had a blue hat and a badge, and Lily had a red hat and a walkie-talkie.
+
+"Police, police, we have a problem!" Lily said into her walkie-talkie. "There is a chubby robber in the kitchen. He is trying to steal the cookies!"
+
+"Let's go, partner!" Tommy said. "We have to stop him!" They ran to the kitchen and saw a big man with a black mask and a bag. He was holding a cookie in his hand and looking around.
+
+"Freeze, robber!" Tommy shouted. "You are under arrest!"
+
+The man was surprised and dropped the cookie. He tried to run away, but Tommy and Lily were faster. They jumped on him and wrapped him with a blanket. They tied the blanket with a rope and called their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, we caught a robber!" they said. "He was stealing the cookies!"
+
+Mom came to the kitchen and saw the man on the floor. She recognized him as their uncle Bob, who was visiting for the weekend. He had put on a mask and a bag to play a joke on the kids.
+
+"Uncle Bob, you silly!" Mom said. "You scared Tommy and Lily!"
+
+"I'm sorry, kids," Uncle Bob said. "I was just playing with you. You are very good police. You wrapped me up like a present!"
+
+Tommy and Lily laughed. They hugged their uncle and gave him a cookie.
+
+"Can we play again?" they asked.
+
+"Sure, but next time, let's play something else," Uncle Bob said. "How about we play pirates?"
+Lila and Ben were going to visit their grandma. They had to pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. Lila liked to pack her bag by herself. She put in her favorite dress, her teddy bear and her big book of stories. Ben needed help from mom to pack his bag. He put in his blue shirt, his truck and his small book of shapes.
+
+When they were ready, they went outside to the cart. The cart was big and red. It had four wheels and a roof. Dad put their bags in the back of the cart. He said, "Are you ready for a fun ride?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded and climbed into the cart. They buckled their belts and smiled. Mom got in the front with dad. She said, "Let's go see grandma!"
+
+Dad started the cart and drove away. The cart made a loud noise. Vroom, vroom, vroom! Lila and Ben looked out the window. They saw trees, houses and animals. They waved to the people and the dogs. They sang songs and played games.
+
+The cart was mighty. It went fast and slow. It went up and down. It went left and right. It took them to grandma's house. Lila and Ben were happy. They loved their cart and their grandma.
+Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the garden and look at the flowers. One day, they saw a new flower that they did not know. It was big and red and had many petals.
+
+"Wow, look at that flower!" Tom said. "It is so pretty. Do you think it smells good?"
+
+Lila nodded. She wanted to smell the flower too. She walked closer to the flower and reached out her hand. But when she touched the flower, she felt a sharp pain in her finger. She pulled back her hand and saw a drop of blood on her skin.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cried. "The flower bit me!"
+
+Tom ran to Lila and hugged her. He saw the flower had a small mouth and teeth. It was not a flower at all. It was an unknown animal that looked like a flower.
+
+"Let's go, Lila!" Tom said. "That is a bad animal. It is not a friend. It is a foe."
+
+Lila and Tom ran away from the animal. They went to Lila's mom and showed her Lila's finger. Lila's mom cleaned the wound and put a band-aid on it. She told Lila and Tom to be careful and not touch unknown things in the garden.
+
+Lila and Tom learned a lesson that day. They still liked to play in the garden and look at the flowers, but they never touched the big red one that could bloom and bite. They called it the meanie flower and stayed away from it.
+Tom was a wealthy boy who had many toys in his big house. He liked to play with his cars, his trains, his dolls and his books. But he was not happy, because he had no friends to share his toys with.
+
+One night, he had a dream. He dreamed that he was in a forest, and he saw a big chest under a tree. He ran to the chest and opened it. Inside, he found many shiny things: gold, jewels, crowns and rings. He was very excited and wanted to take them all.
+
+But then, he heard a voice. It was a fairy, who was sitting on a branch. She said, "Tom, these are not your things. They belong to the forest. If you take them, you will make the forest sad and angry. And you will not be happy, either. You have enough toys in your house. What you need is a friend."
+
+Tom looked at the fairy and felt ashamed. He said, "You are right, fairy. I am sorry. I don't need these things. I need a friend. But where can I find a friend?"
+
+The fairy smiled and said, "Look around you, Tom. The forest is full of friends. There are animals, birds, flowers and trees. They are all alive and friendly. They can talk to you, play with you, and teach you many things. If you are kind and respectful to them, they will be your friends."
+
+Tom felt curious and happy. He closed the chest and left it under the tree. He followed the fairy and met many forest friends. He played with a rabbit, a squirrel, a bird and a butterfly. He learned their names, their sounds, their colors and their games. He hugged a flower and thanked a tree. He felt the forest's love and joy.
+
+He was having so much fun that he did not want to leave. But then, he heard another voice. It was his mother, who was calling him. She said, "Tom, wake up. It's time for breakfast."
+
+Tom opened his eyes and saw his mother. He smiled and said, "Good morning, mom. I had a wonderful dream. I met a fairy and many forest friends. They were so nice and fun. Can we go to the forest today?"
+
+His mother was surprised and happy. She said, "Of course, Tom. We can go to the forest today. I'm glad you had a good dream. Maybe you will make some real friends there."
+
+Tom hugged his mother and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love the forest, too." He jumped out of his bed and got ready for the day. He felt a new happiness in his heart. He had learned a lesson: being wealthy is not having many things, but having many friends.
+Lily liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a soldier. He had a hat, a gun, and a medal. He was very interesting. Lily liked to make him fight with other toys and tell him stories.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring her soldier with her. She put him in her pocket and got in the car. She held him tight so he would not fall out.
+
+At the store, Lily saw many things. She saw fruits, clothes, books, and more toys. She wanted to look at everything, but she did not let go of her soldier. She knew he was special.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Lily saw a big dog. She liked dogs, but this one was scary. It barked and jumped at her. Lily was afraid. She dropped her soldier and ran to her mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, help!" she cried. "The dog is scary!"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. The dog is just playing. He won't hurt you. Where is your soldier?"
+
+Lily looked around. She saw her soldier on the floor. He was dirty and broken. His hat was gone, his gun was bent, and his medal was scratched. Lily felt sad. She loved her soldier.
+
+She ran to him and picked him up. She said, "I'm sorry, soldier. You are still my favorite. I will fix you and make you better."
+
+She held him close and kissed him. She smiled and said, "You are very interesting, soldier. You are brave and strong. You are my hero."
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. They had a big box of toys that they shared. Sometimes they disagreed about what to play with. One day, they found a calendar in the box. It had pictures of animals and numbers.
+
+"Look, a calendar!" Lily said. "I want to hang it on the wall."
+
+"No, I want to keep it in the box," Ben said. "It is mine."
+
+They both pulled on the calendar. It ripped in half. Lily and Ben were sad and angry.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Sam, their older brother, asked. He saw the torn calendar and the unhappy faces.
+
+"Lily and Ben disagreed about the calendar," Lily said. "Now it is broken."
+
+"That's not nice," Sam said. "You should share and be generous. The calendar is for everyone. Here, I have an idea. Why don't you each take one half and make a new calendar?"
+
+"How?" Lily and Ben asked.
+
+"Look, you can use some paper, glue, and crayons. You can draw more animals and numbers. You can make your own calendar. Then you can hang them on the wall or keep them in the box. It's up to you."
+
+Lily and Ben liked Sam's idea. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They worked together to make their own calendars. They had fun and learned new things. They were happy and generous. Sam was proud of them.
+It was Lily's birthday and she was very happy. She had a big cake with four candles and many friends to play with. Her mom and dad gave her a big hug and a big present. Lily wondered what was inside the present. She hoped it was something fun.
+
+She opened the present and saw a shiny ball. It was not just a ball, it was a magic ball. It could change colors and make sounds. It could also spin very fast and make patterns. Lily loved the magic ball. She thanked her mom and dad and gave them a kiss.
+
+She showed the magic ball to her friends and they were amazed. They wanted to play with the magic ball too. Lily said they could take turns. She gave the magic ball to Sam, her best friend. Sam pressed a button and the magic ball started to spin. It made a funny noise and turned red and blue and green.
+
+"Wow, this is so cool!" Sam said. "Can I keep it?"
+
+Lily felt sad. She liked Sam, but she liked the magic ball more. It was her birthday present and it was very rare. She did not want to share it forever.
+
+"No, you can't keep it," Lily said. "It is mine. You can play with it for a little while, but then you have to give it back."
+
+Sam felt angry. He liked the magic ball too. He did not want to give it back. He thought Lily was being mean.
+
+"No, I won't give it back," Sam said. "It is mine now. You have to share it."
+
+They started to fight over the magic ball. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The magic ball spun faster and faster. It made a loud noise and turned white. Then it popped and broke. The magic ball was gone.
+
+Lily and Sam stopped fighting. They looked at the broken pieces of the magic ball. They felt sorry and sad. They had ruined the magic ball. They had ruined the birthday. They had ruined their friendship.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry."
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to play with something else. They learned to share and be nice. They were friends again.
+Tim liked to dream. He dreamed of many things. He dreamed of flying in a big plane. He dreamed of playing with a big dog. He dreamed of having a trumpet.
+
+A trumpet was a shiny thing that made loud noises. Tim saw a trumpet in a shop window. He wanted to have it. He asked his mom.
+
+"Mom, can I have the trumpet?" Tim said.
+
+Mom looked at the trumpet. She shook her head.
+
+"No, Tim, you can't have the trumpet. It is too expensive. We don't have enough money for it." Mom said.
+
+Tim was sad. He wanted the trumpet very much. He wondered how it felt to hold it and blow it.
+
+That night, Tim had a dream. He dreamed that he had the trumpet. He was very happy. He held the trumpet and blew it. It made loud noises. He played a song. He played it for his mom.
+
+Mom smiled and clapped. She was proud of Tim. She hugged him and said:
+
+"Tim, you are a great trumpet player. I love you."
+
+Tim was very happy. He loved his mom. He loved his trumpet. He wished his dream was real.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. But today, it is very cold and white. Snow is falling from the sky. Anna and Ben have never seen snow before.
+
+"Look, Ben, snow!" Anna says. She runs to the window and watches the snowflakes. They are pretty and shiny. She wants to touch them.
+
+"Can we go outside, Mom?" Ben asks. He watches the snow too. He wants to make a snowman and throw snowballs.
+
+Mom shakes her head. "No, Ben, it is too cold and slippery. You might get sick or hurt. We can watch the snow from here. Maybe tomorrow, we can go outside and play."
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They want to have fun in the snow. They watch the snow for a long time. They see other kids and dogs playing in the snow. They look happy and warm.
+
+"Mom, please, can we go outside?" Anna begs. She puts on her coat and hat. She is not fearful of the snow. She thinks it is soft and fun.
+
+Mom sighs. "Okay, Anna, but only for a little while. And you have to stay close to me. And wear your gloves and boots. And be careful."
+
+Anna and Ben cheer. They follow Mom outside. They feel the snow on their hands and feet. It is cold and wet. They make a snowman and throw snowballs. They laugh and smile. They are not fearful of the snow. They think it is wonderful.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They were having fun, but then Ben wanted to play with the doll too.
+
+"Give me the doll, Lily!" Ben said. "I want to make her drive the truck."
+
+"No, Ben!" Lily said. "The doll is mine. You have the truck. The doll does not like trucks. She likes tea parties."
+
+Ben did not listen. He grabbed the doll from Lily and put her in the truck. Lily was angry. She tried to get the doll back, but Ben was stronger. He pushed Lily away and laughed.
+
+Lily saw a note on the table. It was from their mom. She had written: "I love you, Ben and Lily. Be good and share your toys. I will be back soon." Lily had an idea. She took the note and ran to Ben. She slapped the note on his face and said: "This is what mom says. You are silly, Ben. You have to share."
+
+Ben was surprised. He felt the note on his face. He pulled it off and looked at it. He saw the words: "I love you, Ben and Lily. Be good and share your toys. I will be back soon." He felt bad. He had been mean to Lily. He gave the doll back to Lily and said: "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. The doll does not like trucks. She likes tea parties. Can we play together?"
+
+Lily smiled. She hugged Ben and said: "Yes, Ben. We can play together. I love you, Ben. You are not silly. You are nice."
+
+They put the note on the fridge and played with their toys. They shared and had fun. They waited for their mom to come back. They knew she would be happy to see them.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy guns in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and bandits, chasing each other and hiding behind the trees. They made loud noises when they shoot their guns, like "bang" and "pow".
+
+"Stop, you bad bandit! I got you!" Lily shouted, pointing her gun at Ben.
+
+"No, you missed! I'm too fast for you!" Ben said, running away.
+
+They kept playing until they saw the sunset in the sky. It was very pretty, with red and orange and yellow colors. They stopped shooting and looked at the sunset.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "It's like a big fire in the sky!"
+
+"Yeah, it's beautiful!" Ben agreed. "Do you think it's hot?"
+
+"I don't know. Maybe. Do you want to touch it?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He was curious, but he also remembered what his mom had told him. Never touch fire, it can hurt you. He shook his head.
+
+"No, I don't. It's too far away, anyway. And mom said fire is dangerous," he said.
+
+Lily nodded. She remembered that, too. But she also wanted to try something new. She had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can shoot it," she said. "With our guns. Maybe we can make it go away."
+
+Ben looked at her. He was not sure about that. He liked the sunset. He did not want to make it go away. He liked playing with Lily, but he did not like her idea.
+
+"I don't think that's a good idea, Lily," he said. "The sunset is not bad. It's not a bandit. It's just the sun going to sleep. And our guns are not real. They can't shoot the sun."
+
+Lily did not listen to him. She thought it would be fun. She aimed her gun at the sunset and pulled the trigger.
+
+"Bang!" she said. "I got it!"
+
+But nothing happened. The sunset did not go away. It did not change. It just stayed there, shining brightly.
+
+Lily frowned. She tried again.
+
+"Bang! Bang! Bang!" she said, shooting more times.
+
+But still nothing happened. The sunset did not care about her gun. It did not care about her noise. It just stayed there, glowing softly.
+
+Lily felt silly. She realized that Ben was right. She could not shoot the sunset. She could not make it go away. She could only look at it and enjoy it. She felt ashamed of herself. She had wasted her bullets. She had been rude to the sunset. She had been mean to Ben.
+
+She lowered her gun and looked at Ben. He was not shooting. He was not playing. He was just watching the sunset. He looked sad. He looked angry. He looked hurt.
+
+Lily felt sorry. She wanted to say something. She wanted to say sorry. She wanted to say she was wrong. She wanted to say she still liked him. She wanted to say she still wanted to play with him.
+
+But she did not know how. She did not know what words to use. She did not know what to do.
+
+She just stood there, holding her gun, feeling ashamed.
+Ben likes to make things with his cord. He has many colors of cord and he can tie them in different ways. He makes bracelets, necklaces, and belts for himself and his friends. He is very original and he always has new ideas.
+
+One day, he decides to make a big picture with his cord. He uses a big board and many nails. He ties the cord around the nails to make shapes and patterns. He works very hard and he is very happy with his picture. He wants to show it to everyone.
+
+He asks his mom if he can display his picture in the living room. His mom says yes and helps him hang it on the wall. She says it is very beautiful and she is very proud of him. She gives him a hug and a kiss.
+
+Ben is very happy and he waits for his dad to come home. He wants to surprise him with his picture. When his dad comes home, he sees the picture and he is very amazed. He says it is very original and he likes it very much. He gives Ben a hug and a kiss.
+
+Ben is very happy and he thanks his mom and dad. He says he loves them and he loves his cord. He says he wants to make more things with his cord. His mom and dad say they can't wait to see them. They say they love him and they love his cord too. They all smile and hug.
+Lily was a smart girl who liked to learn new things. She liked to read books, play puzzles and ask questions. She wanted to be a doctor when she grew up, because she admired doctors who helped people feel better.
+
+One day, she went to the hospital with her mom to visit her grandpa, who was sick. She saw many doctors and nurses working hard. She saw some machines that made beeps and lights. She saw some pictures of people's brains on a big screen. She was very curious.
+
+"Mom, what are those pictures?" she asked.
+
+"Those are pictures of people's brains, honey. The doctors use them to see how the brain works and what is wrong with it," her mom explained.
+
+"Wow, the brain is amazing! It can do so many things, like think, remember, talk, dream and love. I want to learn more about the brain," Lily said.
+
+"Me too, sweetie. The brain is a very important part of our body. We should be grateful for our brains and take good care of them," her mom said.
+
+They went to see her grandpa, who was lying in a bed. He smiled when he saw them and gave them a hug.
+
+"Hello, Lily. Hello, my dear. I'm so happy to see you. You are my sunshine," he said.
+
+"Hello, grandpa. We love you. How are you feeling?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm feeling better, thanks to the doctors and the medicine. They are very kind and smart. They fixed my brain, which was not working well. They said I had a stroke, which is a bad thing that can happen to the brain," he said.
+
+"I'm sorry, grandpa. That sounds scary. I'm glad you are better. You have a strong brain, grandpa. You are very brave," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are very sweet. You have a bright brain, Lily. You are very smart. You can be anything you want to be, even a doctor. I admire you, Lily," he said.
+
+Lily felt happy and proud. She hugged her grandpa and said, "I admire you too, grandpa. You are the best. I want to be a doctor like you. I want to help people like you. I want to make you proud."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You already make us proud, Lily. You are a wonderful girl. We are very grateful for you, Lily. You are our treasure."
+Tom and Anna liked to play in the park. They had a ball, a bike and a doll. They shared their toys and had fun.
+
+One day, a big monster came to the park. He was bad and mean. He saw Tom and Anna's toys and wanted them. He said, "Give me your toys. They are mine now."
+
+Tom and Anna were scared. They did not want to give their toys to the monster. They said, "No, these are our toys. You cannot have them. Go away."
+
+The monster was angry. He said, "I will take your toys. You cannot stop me." He grabbed the ball, the bike and the doll. He ran away with them.
+
+Tom and Anna were sad. They lost their toys. They cried and hugged each other. They said, "We want our toys back. The monster is bad. He did not borrow them. He stole them."
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a lot of toys, but they want to buy new ones. They have an idea. They can sell some of their old toys to other kids.
+
+They put a big sign on the fence that says "Toy Sale". They put their toys on a table. They wait for customers. Soon, some kids come to see what they have.
+
+"Look, a doll!" a girl says. She picks up Lila's doll. "How much is it?"
+
+"Two coins," Lila says.
+
+"That's too much," the girl says. She puts the doll back.
+
+"Look, a car!" a boy says. He picks up Ben's car. "How much is it?"
+
+"One coin," Ben says.
+
+"That's a good deal," the boy says. He gives Ben a coin and takes the car.
+
+Lila and Ben are happy. They have sold one toy. They hope to sell more.
+
+A dog comes to the garden. He is lively. He runs and jumps. He sees the toys. He thinks they are fun. He grabs the doll with his mouth. He runs away.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lila shouts. She runs after the dog. Ben runs after Lila.
+
+The dog is fast. He runs to the park. He sees a pond. He jumps in. He drops the doll in the water.
+
+Lila and Ben catch up. They see the doll in the pond. They are sad. The doll is wet and dirty. They can't sell it anymore.
+
+The dog comes out of the pond. He shakes his fur. He wags his tail. He thinks he has made new friends. He licks Lila and Ben's hands.
+
+Lila and Ben are angry. They don't like the dog. They push him away. They take the doll. They go back to the garden.
+
+They have learned a lesson. They have to watch their toys. They have to be careful who they sell them to. They have to be nice to each other. They have to share what they have.
+Lila was eager to play with her new doll. She had asked for it for a long time and her mom had finally allowed her to get it. She named her doll Amy and gave her a pink dress and a hat.
+
+She wanted to show Amy to her friend Mia, who lived next door. She put Amy in a small chest that had a handle and ran to Mia's house. She knocked on the door and waited for Mia to come out.
+
+"Hi, Lila!" Mia said. "What do you have in your chest?"
+
+"It's a surprise!" Lila said. "Can we play in your yard?"
+
+"Sure!" Mia said. "Let's go!"
+
+They ran to the yard and Lila opened the chest. She took out Amy and held her up.
+
+"Look, Mia! This is Amy, my new doll! Isn't she pretty?"
+
+Mia gasped. She loved dolls and Amy was very pretty. She had blue eyes and curly hair.
+
+"She's beautiful, Lila!" Mia said. "Can I hold her?"
+
+Lila smiled. She was happy that Mia liked Amy. She handed her the doll.
+
+"Of course you can, Mia! She's my friend and you're my friend too!"
+
+They hugged and played with Amy. They made her talk and dance and sing. They had a lot of fun and shared their new doll.
+Lily was a naughty girl. She liked to play with matches and make flames. She did not listen to her mommy and daddy, who told her that flames were dangerous and could hurt her and the house. One day, when her mommy and daddy were out, she found a box of matches in the kitchen. She took some matches and went to her room. She lit a match and watched the flame. She thought it was pretty and warm.
+
+But she was not careful. She dropped the match on her bed. The bed caught fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger. Lily was scared. She ran out of her room and screamed. She smelled smoke and saw flames. She did not know what to do.
+
+She heard a knock on the door. It was her elderly neighbor, Mrs. Lee. She heard Lily's scream and saw the smoke. She had a phone and called the firemen. She opened the door and saw Lily. She grabbed her and took her outside. She was angry and worried.
+
+"Lily, what have you done?" she asked. "You could have burned the house and yourself! You are a very naughty girl! Your mommy and daddy will punish you when they come back!"
+
+Lily cried. She was sorry. She knew she had done a bad thing. She hugged Mrs. Lee and said, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Lee. I'm sorry, mommy and daddy. I won't play with matches and flames again. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Mrs. Lee sighed. She was still angry, but she felt sorry for Lily too. She said, "Lily, you have to be more careful and listen to your parents. Flames are not toys. They are dangerous. You are lucky that I was here and the firemen came. You have to promise me that you will never play with matches and flames again. Do you promise?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I promise, Mrs. Lee. I promise, mommy and daddy. Thank you for saving me. I love you."
+
+Mrs. Lee smiled. She said, "I love you too, Lily. But you still have to face your parents and their punishment. They will be very upset and sad. You have to say sorry to them and show them that you have learned your lesson. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I understand, Mrs. Lee. I will say sorry to them and show them that I have learned my lesson. I hope they will forgive me."
+
+Mrs. Lee hugged her. She said, "I hope so too, Lily. I hope so too."

+
+One day, Mia and her friends were playing in the barn. They found a big pile of hay and decided to make a nest. They had fun digging and rolling in the hay. They made a cozy and warm nest for themselves.
+
+But Mia had a problem. She was allergic to hay. She felt her nose tickle and itch. She tried to hold it in, but she could not. She sneezed very loud. "Achoo!"
+
+Her friends heard her sneeze and looked at her. They saw her nose was red and her eyes were watery. They felt sorry for her. They asked her, "Are you okay, Mia?"
+
+Mia nodded, but she sneezed again. "Achoo!" She said, "I'm sorry, friends. I think I'm allergic to hay. It makes me sneeze a lot. I can't play in the nest with you."
+
+Her friends understood. They did not want Mia to feel bad. They said, "Don't worry, Mia. We can play something else. We can play tag or hide and seek. We can play anywhere you want. You are our friend and we like you."
+
+Mia smiled and thanked her friends. She felt happy and loved. She said, "You are the best friends ever. I like you too. Let's play tag. I'll be it!"

+She wiped her nose and ran after her friends. They laughed and ran away. They had fun playing together. Mia was a popular mouse.
+Lily was a strong kid. She liked to run and jump and play with her friends. She was not afraid of anything. But one day, she had to go to the doctor. She did not like the doctor. He had a big needle and a cold stethoscope. He made her sit still and open her mouth. Lily started to worry. What if the needle hurt? What if the doctor was mean?
+
+"Mommy, I don't want to go to the doctor," Lily said. She held her mommy's hand tight.
+
+"I know, sweetie, but you have to go. The doctor will help you stay healthy and strong. He is not mean, he is nice. He will only use the needle if you need it. And it will not hurt much, I promise," Mommy said. She gave Lily a hug and a kiss.
+
+Lily tried to be brave. She walked with Mommy to the doctor's office. She saw other kids there. Some were crying, some were smiling, some were reading books. Lily wondered what the doctor would do to them.
+
+"Hello, Lily, I'm Dr. Lee. I'm here to check on you and see how you are doing. Are you ready?" The doctor said. He had a friendly smile and a white coat.
+
+Lily nodded. She followed the doctor to a small room. He asked her some questions, like how old she was and what she liked to do. He looked at her eyes and ears and nose. He listened to her heart and lungs. He measured her height and weight. He said she was growing well and doing great.
+
+"See, Lily, that was not so bad, was it?" Mommy said. She was proud of Lily.
+
+Lily smiled. She felt relieved. The doctor did not use the needle. He was nice. He gave her a sticker and a lollipop.
+
+"Thank you, doctor," Lily said. She liked the sticker and the lollipop.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. You are a strong kid. You did very well. I hope to see you again soon. Bye-bye," The doctor said. He waved to Lily and Mommy.

+
+Her mom says, "Your pet is a goldfish. That is its kind of fish. But you can give it a name if you want."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She says, "I want to name it Sunny. Because it is bright like the sun."

+
+One day, Tom and Anna decide to have a race. They want to see who is faster. They choose a big tree as the finish line. They stand on the grass and get ready.
+
+"Are you ready, Anna?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, I am ready, Tom," Anna says.
+
+"OK, let's go! One, two, three, race!" Tom shouts.
+
+Tom and Anna start to run. They run as fast as they can. They feel the wind on their faces. They hear the birds singing. They see the other children playing.

+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find bugs and stones. They saw a big pumpkin that was orange and round. Sara wanted to take it to the house and make a face on it. Ben said no, it was too heavy and dirty.
+
+"Please, Ben, help me. It will be fun," Sara said.
+
+Ben sighed and agreed. They rolled the pumpkin to the door and tried to lift it. It was very hard. They pushed and pulled and grunted. The pumpkin was too big for the door. They had to leave it outside.
+
+"Maybe we can make a face on it here," Sara said. She got a stick and tried to poke holes for the eyes and nose and mouth. But the pumpkin was soft and mushy. It smelled bad. Sara pulled her stick out and saw brown goo on it. She made a face and dropped the stick.
+
+"Yuck, this pumpkin is rot," Ben said. He kicked the pumpkin and it broke open. More brown goo and seeds came out. It smelled worse. Sara and Ben ran away from the pumpkin. They did not want to play with it anymore.
+
+They went inside the house and washed their hands. They told their mom what happened. She said they should not touch rotten things. They could make them sick. She said they could play upstairs with their toys. They said okay and ran upstairs. They forgot about the pumpkin. They did not see the bugs and flies that came to eat it.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy train in the living room. They liked to make the train go around the track and make noises like a real train. Ben was the driver and Lily was the passenger.
+
+"Choo choo! All aboard!" Ben said, as he pushed a button to make the train whistle. "We are going to the mountains!"
+
+"Yay! I love the mountains!" Lily said, as she climbed into the train. "They are so big and pretty!"
+
+Ben and Lily pretended to see trees and animals and rivers as the train moved along the track. They were having a lot of fun.
+
+But then, the train stopped. Ben looked at the train and saw that it had no more coal. Coal was the black stuff that made the train go. Ben was sad.
+
+"Oh no! We ran out of coal!" Ben said. "How will we get to the mountains now?"
+
+Lily saw that Ben was sad. She wanted to help him. She looked around the living room and saw a basket of crayons. She had an idea.
+
+"Don't be sad, Ben. I have some coal for you!" Lily said. She grabbed some black crayons and ran to the train. She put the crayons in the train where the coal was supposed to go.
+
+"Look, Ben! I found some coal!" Lily said. "Now the train can go again!"
+
+Ben smiled. He was happy that Lily helped him. He pushed the button again and the train started to move. The crayons made the train go.
+
+"Wow, Lily! You are so smart!" Ben said. "Thank you for the coal!"

+The bear takes the pen. He writes something in the book. He gives the book and the pen back to Anna.
+
+"What did you write?" Anna asks.
+
+The bear points to the words. Anna reads them. They say:
+
+"I like Anna. She is my friend. Love, Bear."
+
+Anna is very happy. She hugs the bear again. She says he is her friend too. She says she loves him.
+
+They sit on the grass and talk. They write more words in the book. They have fun. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big dog with a man. The dog is brown and fluffy. The man has a hat and a stick.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asks the man.
+
+"Yes, you can. His name is Max. He is very friendly. But you have to ask him first. Say, 'Max, can I pet you?' and wait for him to sit," the man says.
+
+Lily and Ben go near the dog. They say, "Max, can I pet you?" The dog wags his tail and sits. Lily and Ben pet his fur. He licks their faces. They giggle.
+
+"Max is nice. He likes us," Ben says.
+
+"Yes, he does. But he is also hungry. He needs some food. Do you have any?" the man asks.
+
+Lily and Ben shake their heads. They do not have any food. They only have a ball and a doll.
+
+"Maybe we can share our food with him. We have some bread and cheese at home. We can go and get it," Lily says.
+
+"That is very kind of you. Max would love that. But you have to ask your mom and dad first. They might be worried if you go alone," the man says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They say goodbye to Max and the man. They run to their mom and dad, who are sitting on a bench. They tell them about the dog and the food.
+
+"Can we go and get some food for Max? He is hungry. He is a good dog. He sits and lets us pet him," Lily says.
+
+"That is very nice of you, Lily. And you, Ben. But you have to be careful. The park is big and there are many cars and people. You have to hold our hands and look both ways," their mom says.
+
+"OK, mom. We will be careful. We want to help Max. He is our friend," Ben says.
+
+Their mom and dad smile. They get up from the bench. They hold Lily and Ben's hands. They walk to their home. They get some bread and cheese. They walk back to the park. They find Max and the man. They give them the food.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Ben. You are very kind and generous. Max is very happy. He will share his food with you. Do you want some?" the man says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are hungry too. They sit with Max and the man. They eat the bread and cheese. They talk and laugh. They have fun. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that they could sit in and pretend to drive. They called it their luxury car, because it was shiny and had a horn and a radio.
+
+One day, a man came to their house and knocked on the door. He was wearing a suit and a hat and had a big smile. He said he wanted to buy their luxury car for a lot of money. He said he had a shop where he sold many things, and he needed a luxury car to show his customers.
+
+Tom and Lily were surprised and confused. They loved their luxury car and did not want to give it away. They looked at their mom, who was also at the door. She said they could decide what to do, but they had to share the money if they sold it.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He liked money, and he wanted to buy more toys. He said to the man, "OK, we will sell you our luxury car. How much money will you give us?"
+
+Lily was shocked and sad. She did not want to sell their luxury car. She said to Tom, "No, we will not sell it. It is our luxury car, and we have fun with it. We do not need more money. We are lucky to have it."
+
+Tom and Lily started to argue. They both wanted different things. The man waited and watched. He hoped they would agree to sell him their luxury car. He thought it was a very good deal for him. He did not care about their feelings. He only cared about his shop.
+
+What will Tom and Lily do? Will they sell their luxury car, or will they keep it? How will they solve their problem? You can write the end of the story.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the sand. They liked to make shapes and castles with their buckets and shovels. They saw something shiny in the sand. They dug it out with their shovels. It was a skull!
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "It is a skull. Maybe it is from a pirate or a dinosaur."
+
+Lily touched the skull. It was hard and dry. It had two holes for eyes and one for a nose. It had some teeth, but not all of them. "It is scary," Lily said. "I don't like it. It is not pretty."
+
+Tom liked the skull. He thought it was cool and fun. He wanted to keep it. "It is not scary, it is awesome," Tom said. "I want to take it home and show it to mom and dad. Maybe they will know what it is."
+
+Lily and Tom started to argue. They both wanted the skull. They pulled and pushed it. They shouted and cried. They made a lot of noise.
+
+A man came by. He was wearing a hat and a coat. He had a badge and a bag. He was a doctor. He saw the skull and the children. He smiled and walked over to them.
+
+"Hello, kids," he said. "What have you found there?"
+
+Lily and Tom stopped arguing. They looked at the man. They were curious and scared.
+
+"This is a skull," Tom said. "We found it in the sand. It is mine."
+
+"No, it is mine," Lily said. "It is not pretty. It is scary."
+
+The man nodded. He took out a book from his bag. He showed them some pictures. "This is not a pirate or a dinosaur skull," he said. "This is a human skull. It is very old and very rare. It is from a person who lived a long time ago, before you and me. It is part of history and science. It is very important and very valuable."
+
+Lily and Tom looked at the pictures. They saw some people who looked different from them. They wore different clothes and had different tools. They lived in different houses and had different animals. They were amazed and confused.
+
+"Wow, really?" Tom said. "How do you know that?"
+
+"I am a doctor who studies bones and skulls," the man said. "I work at a museum. I came here to look for more skulls and bones. I have a special permission to do that. You are very lucky to find this skull. It is a great discovery. But you cannot keep it. It belongs to the museum. It needs to be cleaned and protected. It needs to be studied and shared. It needs to be respected and honored."
+
+Lily and Tom felt sad and disappointed. They liked the skull. They wanted to keep it. But they also understood the man. They wanted to learn more about the skull. They wanted to see the museum. They wanted to be respectful and honorable.
+
+"OK," Lily said. "We will give you the skull. But can we see it again? Can we go to the museum?"
+
+"Of course," the man said. "You can come to the museum anytime. You can see the skull and many other things. You can ask me any questions. You can be my helpers and friends. You can be proud of what you found. You are very smart and brave."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled. They gave the skull to the man. They thanked him and hugged him. They were happy and excited. They learned something new and made a new friend. They went back to their buckets and shovels. They played in the sand. They had a lot of fun.
+Tom and Lily are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have a big world in their backyard. They make houses with sticks and stones. They pretend to be kings and queens.
+
+One day, Lily finds a shiny ring in the dirt. She puts it on her finger and says, "Look, Tom, I have a magic ring. It makes me the queen of the world. You have to do what I say."
+
+Tom does not like this. He says, "No, Lily, that is not fair. You cannot be the queen of the world. We are both kings and queens. We share the world. Give me the ring."
+
+Lily does not want to give the ring. She says, "No, Tom, this is my ring. I found it. It is mine. You have to listen to me. I insist."
+
+Tom and Lily start to argue. They raise their voices. They pull the ring. They are not happy.
+
+Then, they hear a loud bark. It is their dog, Spot. Spot is loyal. He loves Tom and Lily. He sees them fighting. He runs to them and jumps on them. He licks their faces. He wags his tail.
+
+Tom and Lily stop arguing. They look at Spot. They smile. They hug him. They say, "Thank you, Spot. You are a good friend. You make us happy. You are the king of the world."
+
+They take off the ring. They throw it away. They do not need it. They have each other. They have Spot. They have their world. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room when they heard a loud noise. It was a storm outside. They saw the rain and the wind and the dark clouds. They felt scared.
+
+"Mommy, can we go to you?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, my loves, come here," Mommy said. She opened the door and hugged them. She took them to her bed and covered them with a blanket. She was compassionate and kind.
+
+"Can we peek outside?" Ben asked. He wanted to see the storm.
+
+"Only a little bit," Mommy said. She lifted the curtain and let them peek. They saw the lightning and the thunder. They saw the trees and the flowers and the birds. They saw the storm.
+
+"Wow, it's so big and loud," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is," Mommy said. "But it will go away soon. And then we can go outside and play again. The storm is not bad. It is just part of nature. It gives us water and air and life."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They felt better. They cuddled with Mommy and watched the storm. They were not scared anymore. They were curious and brave.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. Lily has a small shovel and Ben has a small rake. They are having fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a radish!" Ben says, holding up a red and white root. "It is small and round and has green leaves. Do you want to see?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily says, running over to Ben. She takes the radish and looks at it. "It is pretty and shiny. Can we eat it?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben says, scratching his head. "Maybe we should ask Mommy. She knows about radishes."
+
+They go to the house and find Mommy in the kitchen. She is making soup and salad for lunch. She smiles when she sees them.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Ben. What do you have there?" Mommy asks.
+
+"We found a radish in the garden, Mommy," Lily says, showing her the radish. "Can we eat it?"
+
+"Of course you can, my darlings," Mommy says, taking the radish and washing it. "Radishes are good for you. They are crunchy and spicy and have vitamins. You can have it with your salad. Do you want to help me cut it?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say, clapping their hands. They love to help Mommy in the kitchen. They get small knives and cutting boards and follow Mommy's instructions. They cut the radish into thin slices and put them in a bowl. They also cut some lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and cheese. They toss the salad with some dressing and sprinkle some salt and pepper.
+
+"Wow, this looks yummy!" Ben says, admiring their work.
+
+"It does, indeed," Mommy says, hugging them. "You are such good helpers. Now, let's set the table and enjoy our lunch. I'm sure Daddy will be happy to see what you found in the garden."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and smile. They are proud of their radish and their salad. They can't wait to taste them. They think finding a radish in the garden is the best thing ever.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They slide, swing, and run on the grass. One day, they see a big metal thing with wheels and a door. It looks like a car, but very old and rusty.
+
+"Can we go inside?" Sara asks.
+
+"I don't know. It might be dangerous," Ben says.
+
+They go closer and look at the door. It has a buckle to open it. Ben tries to pull the buckle, but it is stuck. He pulls harder and harder, until the buckle comes off. It is sharp and cuts his hand.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cries. He drops the buckle and holds his hand.
+
+Sara sees blood on his hand. She is scared and sorry. She hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. He is in pain and wants to go home. Sara helps him walk to the bench. She finds a tissue in her pocket and wraps it around his hand.
+
+They see a lady walking a dog. She looks nice and kind. Sara waves at her and says, "Help, please. My friend is hurt."
+
+The lady comes over and sees Ben's hand. She says, "Oh, dear. What happened?"
+
+"We found a rare car in the park. It had a buckle on the door. He pulled it and it cut him," Sara explains.
+
+The lady nods and says, "That was not a good idea. That car is very old and dangerous. You should not touch it. Come, I'll take you to the nurse. She will make your hand better."
+
+She takes them by the hand and leads them to the nurse's office. The nurse cleans Ben's hand and puts a bandage on it. She gives him a sticker and a candy. She says, "You are very brave. Next time, be careful and stay away from sharp things."
+
+Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, nurse. I will."
+
+Sara and Ben hug and say, "We are sorry. We are friends."
+
+They go back to the park and play with the lady's dog. They have fun and forget about the rare car and the sharp buckle. They are happy and safe.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. But today, the sun is very hot. They feel sweat on their faces and necks. They want to find a cool place to rest.
+
+"Look, Tom, there is a big tree over there. It has many leaves. Maybe we can sit under it and feel cool," Mia says.
+
+"Good idea, Mia. Let's go to the tree. It can be our shelter from the sun," Tom says.
+
+They run to the tree and sit under its shade. They feel a gentle breeze on their skin. They sigh with relief.
+
+"Ah, this is much better. The tree is our friend. It gives us shelter and cool air," Mia says.
+
+"Yes, it is. Thank you, tree. You are very kind," Tom says.
+
+They look up and see the sun shining through the leaves. They see different colors and shapes. They smile and point at them.
+
+"Wow, look at that. The sun makes the leaves turn yellow and red and orange. They are so pretty," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, they are. They look like a rainbow. The sun and the tree make a beautiful picture," Mia says.
+
+They lie down on the grass and watch the sun and the leaves. They feel happy and peaceful. They close their eyes and fall asleep. The tree watches over them and keeps them cool and safe.
+On Tuesday, Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big fire truck with red lights and loud sounds. They wanted to see the fire truck up close.
+
+"Can we go, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't touch anything. Fire trucks are for fire people, not for kids," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily ran to the fire truck. They saw a long hose, a shiny ladder, and a big helmet. They also saw a fire person with a yellow coat and a black mask.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you like the fire truck?" the fire person asked.
+
+"Yes, we do. It's cool. What do you do with it?" Lily asked.
+
+"We use it to put out fires. Fires are very hot and can burn things and hurt people. We spray water on the fires to make them go away," the fire person explained.
+
+"Wow, that's brave. How do you know where the fires are?" Ben asked.
+
+"We have a radio that tells us where to go. Sometimes we hear a bell or a siren that means there is a fire. We have to be fast and careful," the fire person said.
+
+The fire person showed them the radio, the bell, and the siren. Ben and Lily liked the sounds. They thanked the fire person for letting them see the fire truck.
+
+They went back to Mom, who was sitting on a bench. She had a clear bottle of water and a sandwich for them.
+
+"Did you have fun, kids?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We saw the fire truck and the fire person. They are awesome. They put out fires and save people," Ben said.
+
+"They are very nice, too. They showed us their hose, their ladder, and their helmet. They have a radio, a bell, and a siren," Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She was proud of them for being curious and polite.
+
+They ate their sandwich and drank their water. They watched the fire truck drive away with a wave and a honk. They had a great Tuesday at the park.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big garden with many flowers and trees. They also had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and playful.
+
+One day, they decided to explore the garden and look for new things. They followed a trail of ants that led them to a big bush. Behind the bush, they saw something shiny and colorful. It was a butterfly!
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "It has wings and spots and it can fly!"
+
+Lila nodded. She was thoughtful and curious. She remembered what their mom had told them about butterflies. "It used to be a caterpillar, Ben. It ate a lot of leaves and then it made a cocoon. And then it changed and grew wings and became a butterfly!"
+
+Ben was amazed. He wanted to touch the butterfly, but Lila stopped him. "No, Ben, don't do that. You might hurt it. Let it be free and happy."
+
+Ben listened to his sister. He was thoughtful too. He smiled and said, "You're right, Lila. It's a beautiful butterfly. Let's watch it fly away."
+
+They watched the butterfly flutter away and then they hugged each other. They were happy and proud. They had learned something new and they had been kind to the butterfly. They ran back to their mom and Spot and told them what they had seen. Mom hugged them and said, "You're such good and smart kids. I love you very much." Spot wagged his tail and licked their faces. Lila and Ben laughed and hugged him back. They had a wonderful day.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a little bird on the ground. The bird has a hurt wing. It cannot fly.
+
+"Oh no, the bird is sad!" Lily says. "We need to help it."
+
+Ben nods. He has a big pocket in his jacket. He gently picks up the bird and puts it in his pocket. The bird is soft and warm.
+
+"Let's go to the vet," Ben says. "The vet can make the bird better."
+
+They run to the vet's office. The vet is friendly. She smiles at Lily and Ben.
+
+"What do you have in your pocket, Ben?" she asks.
+
+Ben shows her the bird. The vet takes the bird and examines it.
+
+"This bird is lucky. You rescued it. It only has a small sprain. It will heal soon. Do you want to keep it as a pet?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They love the bird, but they know it belongs in the sky.
+
+"No, thank you," Lily says. "We want the bird to be free and happy."
+
+The vet nods. She gives them a cage and some seeds. She tells them to take care of the bird until it can fly again.
+
+Lily and Ben thank the vet. They take the bird home. They feed it and talk to it. The bird is friendly. It chirps and sings.
+
+After a few days, the bird's wing is better. It flaps and hops in the cage.
+
+"I think it's time to say goodbye," Ben says.
+
+Lily agrees. They take the bird to the park. They open the cage and let the bird out. The bird flies up in the air. It circles around them and tweets.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Ben!" the bird says. "You are good friends!"
+
+Lily and Ben wave and smile. They are happy for the bird. They watch it fly away. They hug each other.
+
+"We did a good thing," Lily says.
+
+"Yes, we did," Ben says. "We are good friends, too."
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw a big hill with white stuff on it. Mom said it was snow. Tom and Lily wanted to play with the snow. They ran up the hill and made snowballs. They threw them at each other and laughed.
+
+"Snow is fun!" Tom said. "It is cold and wet and soft."
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily said. "But don't touch it too long or your hands will freeze."
+
+Tom did not listen. He picked up a big snowball and squeezed it hard. He wanted to make a snowman. But his hands started to hurt. He dropped the snowball and cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! My hands are frozen!" Tom said.
+
+Mom heard him and ran to him. She took his hands and rubbed them. She gave him her gloves and hugged him.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. Your hands will be warm soon. Next time, wear your gloves when you play with snow. Snow can freeze your skin if you touch it too long." Mom said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I forgot." Tom said.
+
+"It's okay. I love you. Do you want to go home and have some hot chocolate?" Mom said.
+
+"Yes, please. And can we read a story?" Tom said.
+
+"Of course. Come on, Lily. Let's go home." Mom said.
+
+Lily ran to them and joined the hug. She was happy. She liked snow, but she liked hot chocolate and stories more. They all went home and had a cozy time.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair and a pretty dress. Lily liked to comb Anna's hair and make her talk.
+
+One day, Lily heard a loud bell outside. She ran to the window and saw a big truck. The truck had many pictures on it. She saw a clown, a lion, a horse, and a star. Lily knew what it was. It was a circus truck!
+
+Lily was very excited. She loved the circus. She had seen it once with her mom and dad. She saw the famous clown make funny jokes. She saw the lion jump through a hoop. She saw the horse dance with a girl. She saw the star fly in the air.
+
+Lily wanted to see the circus again. She grabbed Anna and ran to the door. She wanted to ask her mom if they could go. But when she opened the door, she got a big surprise. There was the famous clown, standing on the porch. He had a red nose, a big smile, and a flower on his hat.
+
+"Hello, Lily!" the clown said. "I'm here to invite you to the circus. You are our special guest today. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+Lily was so happy. She could not believe it. She nodded and hugged Anna. She ran to get her coat and shoes. She said goodbye to her mom and dad. She followed the clown to the truck. She heard the bell ring again. She was going to the circus!
+Lily and Tom were playing cowboys and robbers in the yard. Lily had a hat and a pistol. Tom had a scarf and a bag. Lily said, "I am the sheriff and you are the bad guy. Give me the money or I will shoot you!"
+
+Tom said, "No, you can't catch me. I am too fast and smart. The money is mine!" He ran behind a tree and peeked out. Lily ran after him and pointed her pistol. "Bang, bang, bang!" she said.
+
+Tom pretended to fall down and said, "Ow, ow, ow! You got me, sheriff. You are too good. Here is the money." He gave her the bag and smiled. Lily smiled too and said, "Thank you, robber. You are not so bad. Do you want to split the money and be friends?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun. How much money do we have?" They opened the bag and saw many papers and coins. Lily said, "Wow, this is a lot of money. We can buy many things with this. What do you want to buy?"
+
+Tom said, "I want to buy a regular bike. I only have a small bike with three wheels. What do you want to buy?" Lily said, "I want to buy a big doll. I only have a small doll with one eye. Let's go to the store and buy them." They put the money in their pockets and ran to the store. They were happy and forgot they were playing cowboys and robbers.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They have an idea. They can make a house with the box!
+
+They take the box to the garden. They cut a door and a window with scissors. They draw flowers and stars with crayons. They put a blanket on the top. They are happy. They have a cute house!
+
+They go inside the house. They pretend to cook and eat. They have plastic plates and cups. They have cookies and juice. They chew the cookies and drink the juice. They say, "Yum, yum, yum!"
+
+But then, they hear a noise. It is a dog. The dog is big and brown. The dog likes cookies. The dog smells the cookies. The dog runs to the house. The dog pushes the door. The dog goes inside the house.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They scream, "Help, help, help!" The dog sees the cookies. The dog grabs the cookies. The dog chews the cookies. The dog says, "Woof, woof, woof!"
+
+Anna and Ben run out of the house. They run to their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Their mom and dad hug them. They say, "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry!"
+
+They go back to the garden. They see the dog. The dog is happy. The dog has no more cookies. The dog wags his tail. The dog licks his lips. The dog says, "Sorry, sorry, sorry!"
+
+Anna and Ben look at the dog. The dog is cute. They are not scared anymore. They smile. They say, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!"
+
+They play with the dog. They throw a ball. The dog chases the ball. They pet the dog. The dog likes them. They are friends.
+
+They have a fun day. They have a cute house. They have a big dog. They have an idea. They can make more cookies!
+Mia and Ben were happy to move to a new house. They had a big room with a window and a closet. Mom and Dad said they could unpack their toys and books and put them where they wanted.
+
+Mia found a box with her crayons and paper. She loved to draw and color. She opened the box and took out a red crayon. She was going to draw a flower for Mom.
+
+"Can I have a crayon too?" Ben asked. He wanted to draw a car for Dad.
+
+"Sure, you can have a crayon," Mia said. She was a good sister and liked to share. She gave Ben a blue crayon and a piece of paper.
+
+"Thank you, Mia," Ben said. He smiled and started to draw.
+
+Mia and Ben drew and colored for a long time. They made many pictures and showed them to Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad were proud of their children and hung their pictures on the wall.
+
+"You are very good at drawing," Mom said.
+
+"You are very loyal to each other," Dad said.
+
+Mia and Ben hugged Mom and Dad. They were happy to have a new house and a new room. They were happy to have crayons and paper. They were happy to have each other.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, it rained a lot and made many puddles on the ground. Lily and Ben put on their boots and coats and ran outside to jump in the puddles.
+
+Lily liked the big puddles that made a loud splash. She laughed and kicked the water with her feet. Ben liked the small puddles that were clear and shiny. He bent down and looked at his face in the water. He saw a delicate flower floating on the surface.
+
+"Look, Lily, a flower!" Ben said, pointing at the puddle. "It is so pretty and delicate. Can I pick it up?"
+
+"No, Ben, you can't!" Lily said, running over to him. "That is my puddle and my flower. Go find your own!"
+
+"But I like this one!" Ben said, reaching for the flower. "You have many puddles and many flowers. Why can't I have one?"
+
+Lily pushed Ben away and complained. "You are being mean and greedy. You always want what I have. You can't have my puddle and my flower. They are mine!"
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He cried and complained. "You are being mean and bossy. You never share with me. You can't have all the puddles and all the flowers. They are for everyone!"
+
+Lily and Ben started to fight and shout. They forgot to have fun and enjoy the rain. They made the puddle muddy and the flower wilt. They made each other unhappy.
+
+Their mom heard them and came outside. She saw them fighting and frowning. She shook her head and sighed. She took them by the hand and led them inside. She said, "Lily and Ben, you are being silly and rude. You have many puddles and many flowers to play with. Why can't you share and be kind? You are twins and you should love each other. You should not fight and complain. You should say sorry and hug each other."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they were being silly and rude. They said sorry and hugged each other. They said, "We love you, mom. We love you, twin. We will share and be kind. We will not fight and complain. We will have fun and enjoy the rain."
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's good, Lily and Ben. I love you, too. You are my twins and you make me happy. You can go back outside and play with the puddles and the flowers. But remember to be nice and gentle. The puddles and the flowers are delicate and beautiful. They are for everyone to enjoy."
+Lila and her doll wanted to go to the attic. They liked to play with the old toys and books there. But the stair to the attic was very high and steep. Lila was afraid to climb it by herself.
+
+She asked her big brother, Sam, to help her. Sam was busy with his homework. He said, "Lila, you are too little to go to the attic. The stair is not safe for you. You might fall and hurt yourself. And your doll is too delicate to carry. She might break or get dirty."
+
+Lila was sad. She loved her doll very much. She said, "But Sam, I want to go to the attic. Please, please, help me. I will be careful. I will hold my doll tight. I will not fall. I trust you, Sam. You are my big brother. You can protect me and my doll."
+
+Sam looked at Lila and her doll. He saw how much they wanted to go to the attic. He felt sorry for them. He said, "Okay, Lila, I will help you. But you have to listen to me. You have to hold my hand and follow my steps. You have to be very quiet and not touch anything. The attic is full of dust and spiders. And you have to be quick. We have to go back before Mom and Dad come home. They don't like us to go to the attic."
+
+Lila nodded and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Sam. You are the best brother ever. I will listen to you. I will be quiet and quick. I will not touch anything. Come on, let's go to the attic."
+
+Sam and Lila took their doll and went to the stair. They climbed it slowly and carefully. They reached the attic and opened the door. They saw the old toys and books. They were happy. They played with them for a while. Then they heard Mom and Dad's car in the driveway. They hurried back to the stair. They went down and closed the door. They ran to their rooms and put their doll on the bed. They had a fun adventure. They trusted each other. They were good siblings.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a big doll that she called Anna, and Ben had a small car that he called Zoom. They liked to share their toys and make stories with them.
+
+One day, they found a strange button on the wall. It was red and shiny and had a picture of a star on it. They wondered what it did. Lily said, "Maybe it makes magic. Let's press it and see." Ben said, "OK, but be careful. It might be dangerous." They pressed the button together and waited.
+
+Suddenly, they felt a strange feeling. They looked at each other and saw that they were getting smaller and smaller. Their toys were getting bigger and bigger. They were shrinking! They screamed and ran to the door, but it was too high for them to reach. They were trapped in the living room with giant toys.
+
+They were very scared and did not know what to do. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had not pressed the button. They wished they were big again. They wished their mom and dad were here.
+
+They heard a noise outside. It was their mom and dad coming home. They shouted, "Help! Help! We are here! We are small!" But their voices were too tiny to be heard. Their mom and dad did not notice them. They walked into the living room and saw the toys. They said, "Wow, what a mess. Lily and Ben must have had a lot of fun today. Where are they? They must be hiding. Let's find them."
+
+They looked around the room, but they did not see Lily and Ben. They were too small to be seen. They were hiding behind the couch, hoping their mom and dad would find them. They felt a silence in the room. They felt very alone and sad.
+
+Then, they saw something. It was the button on the wall. It was still red and shiny and had a picture of a star on it. But now, it had another picture on it. It was a picture of a circle with a line through it. It looked like a sign that said "no". They wondered what it meant. Lily said, "Maybe it means no more magic. Maybe it can make us big again. Let's try it." Ben said, "OK, but how can we reach it? It is too high for us." They thought for a moment. Then, they had an idea.
+
+They ran to the toys and climbed on them. They used Anna's hair as a rope, and Zoom's wheels as a ladder. They worked together and helped each other. They were brave and smart. They reached the button and pressed it again.
+
+Suddenly, they felt another strange feeling. They looked at each other and saw that they were getting bigger and bigger. Their toys were getting smaller and smaller. They were growing! They cheered and jumped. They were big again. They were happy.
+
+They ran to the door and opened it. They saw their mom and dad in the hallway. They said, "Mom! Dad! We are here! We are big!" Their mom and dad saw them and hugged them. They said, "Lily! Ben! We are so glad to see you! We were looking for you. Where were you?" Lily and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They said, "We were in the living room. We had a big adventure. We can tell you all about it." Their mom and dad said, "We can't wait to hear it. You must be very proud of yourselves. You are very brave and smart. We love you very much." Lily and Ben said, "We love you too. And we are sorry for the mess. We will clean it up later. But first, can we have a snack? We are very hungry." Their mom and dad said, "Of course. Let's go to the kitchen. And please, don't press any more buttons." Lily and Ben said, "OK. We won't. We learned our lesson. Buttons are not toys. They are trouble." They laughed and walked to the kitchen. They were happy and proud. They were a family.
+Anna and Ben like to play with clay. They have many colors of clay. They can make animals, cars, flowers and more. They sit on the floor and roll, squeeze and shape the clay.
+
+One day, they decide to make a big monster with clay. They use green clay for the body, red clay for the eyes, black clay for the teeth and yellow clay for the horns. They make the monster very big and scary. They put it on the table and look at it.
+
+"Wow, our monster is so scary!" Ben says. "It can scare anyone who sees it!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Anna agrees. "But it is also fun to make!"
+
+They laugh and hug each other. They are very proud of their monster.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. They turn around and see their cat, Fluffy, jumping on the table. Fluffy sees the monster and thinks it is a toy. He pounces on it and tries to bite it.
+
+"Meow!" Fluffy says. "This is a fun toy!"
+
+"No, Fluffy, no!" Anna and Ben shout. "That is our monster! Don't ruin it!"
+
+They run to the table and try to save their monster. But it is too late. Fluffy has smashed the monster with his paws and teeth. The clay is all over the table and the floor.
+
+Anna and Ben are very sad. They look at their ruined monster and cry.
+
+"Bad Fluffy, bad!" they say. "You broke our monster! We worked so hard on it!"
+
+Fluffy does not understand. He thinks they are playing with him. He licks their faces and purrs.
+
+"Meow!" Fluffy says. "I love you!"
+
+Anna and Ben are still sad, but they also love Fluffy. They hug him and forgive him.
+
+"Maybe we can make another monster later," Anna says.
+
+"Or maybe something else," Ben says.
+
+They clean up the mess and put away the clay. They decide to play with Fluffy instead. He is not scary, but he is very cute and funny. They have fun with him and forget about their monster. They are happy again.
+Lily was a furry cat who liked to play with her toys. She had a ball, a mouse, and a feather that she chased around the house. One day, she saw a new toy on the table. It was a bottle with a shiny cap and a label that said "poison". Lily did not know what that word meant, but she thought it looked fun.
+
+She jumped on the table and knocked the bottle over. The cap came off and some of the poison spilled out. Lily sniffed it and licked it with her tongue. It tasted very bad and made her feel sick. She started to cry and ran to her owner, Tom.
+
+Tom was in his room, reading a book. He heard Lily cry and went to see what was wrong. He saw the bottle on the floor and the poison on the table. He knew it was dangerous and he was scared. He picked up Lily and hugged her.
+
+"Lily, what did you do? You ate poison! That's very bad for you! We have to go to the vet right now!" he said.
+
+He put Lily in a basket and took her to the car. He drove fast to the vet, who was a nice lady who helped animals. She gave Lily some medicine and checked her heart and her ears. She told Tom that Lily would be okay, but she had to stay at the vet for a while.
+
+Tom was happy and relieved. He thanked the vet and kissed Lily goodbye. He told her he was sorry and he loved her. He promised to come back soon and bring her more toys. Lily felt better and stopped crying. She was glad that Tom was her owner and that he cared for her. She learned a lesson and decided to never play with poison again.
+Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls in her cabinet. She gave them names and clothes and stories. She was happy with her dolls.
+
+One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play. He saw Anna's cabinet and opened it. He took out some dolls and threw them on the floor. He laughed and said, "Dolls are silly. I want to play with cars and trucks."
+
+Anna was angry and sad. She shouted, "Tom, stop! You are terrible! You are hurting my dolls! Give them back to me!" She ran to her cabinet and tried to save her dolls.
+
+Tom did not listen. He grabbed more dolls and ripped their hair and clothes. He said, "Dolls are ugly. I want to make them look funny." He made faces and noises.
+
+Anna cried and ran to her mom. She said, "Mom, Tom is terrible! He is ruining my dolls! He won't give them back to me!" She hugged her mom and sobbed.
+
+Mom was angry and shocked. She said, "Tom, what are you doing? You are being very naughty and mean! You have to give Anna's dolls back to her and say sorry! You have to help her fix them and clean them! You have to respect her things and feelings!"
+
+She took Tom by the hand and went to Anna's room. She made him apologize and help Anna. She also gave him a time out and took away his cars and trucks. She said, "You have to learn to share and be kind. You have to understand that dolls are important to Anna. You have to say sorry and make it up to her."
+
+Anna was still sad, but she forgave Tom. She said, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Tom. I love my dolls. I love you too, but please don't do that again." She hugged them and smiled. She went back to her cabinet and played with her dolls. She was happy again.
+Tom had a bird that he loved very much. He called his bird Blue, because it had blue feathers and a blue beak. Tom liked to play with Blue, to feed him seeds, and to listen to him sing.
+
+One day, Tom wanted to show Blue to his friend Lily. He put Blue in a cage and took him to Lily's house. Lily was happy to see Tom and Blue. She said, "What a pretty bird! Can I hold him?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, but be careful. He is very shy and he might fly away." He opened the cage and gave Blue to Lily. Lily held Blue gently and stroked his feathers. Blue felt scared and tried to escape. He bit Lily's finger and flew out of the cage.
+
+Lily cried, "Ow! He bit me!" Tom cried, "Blue! Come back!" They ran after Blue, but he was too fast. He flew over the fence and into the sky. Tom and Lily could not see him anymore.
+
+Tom felt very sad. He had lost his bird. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I should not have let you hold him. He was my best friend." Lily felt sorry too. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I did not mean to scare him. He was very beautiful."
+
+They hugged each other and went back to Lily's house. It was a gloomy day. They did not feel like playing. They just sat on the couch and looked out of the window, hoping to see Blue again.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the museum with Mom and Dad. The museum has many things to see and learn. Anna likes the animals best. Ben likes the cars and planes best.
+
+One day, they go to the museum again. Anna wants to see the animals first. She says, "Mom, Dad, can we go to the animals? They are so cute and fun. Please, please, please!"
+
+Ben says, "No, Anna, we should go to the cars and planes first. They are so cool and fast. Please, please, please!"
+
+Mom and Dad look at each other. They do not know what to do. Anna and Ben both insist on their choice. They do not want to share or take turns.
+
+Mom says, "How about we go to the dinosaurs first? They are big and old. They are not alive anymore. They are dead. But we can still learn about them. Do you want to see the dinosaurs?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They have never seen the dinosaurs before. They are curious and excited. They nod and say, "Yes, Mom, we want to see the dinosaurs!"
+
+Mom and Dad smile and say, "Okay, then, let's go to the dinosaurs. Maybe we can see the animals and the cars and planes later. But first, let's see the dinosaurs!"
+
+Anna and Ben hold Mom and Dad's hands. They walk to the dinosaurs. They see the bones and the pictures. They learn the names and the sounds. They have fun and forget to fight. They are happy to go to the museum.
+Tom and Mia were friends who lived in a small village. They liked to play in the fields and the woods near their homes. One day, they found a big hill that they had never seen before. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+They started to walk up the hill, holding hands and talking. They saw many flowers and birds and bugs on the way. They also saw a big rock that looked like a face. They laughed and made funny noises at it. They were having fun.
+
+But as they got higher, they started to feel dizzy. The hill was very steep and the sun was very hot. They felt tired and thirsty and their heads hurt. They stopped and sat down on the grass.
+
+"Tom, I don't like this hill," Mia said. "I want to go back to the village."
+
+"Me too, Mia," Tom said. "But how do we go back? I don't see the way we came."
+
+They looked around and realized that they were lost. They could not see the village or the fields or the woods. They only saw more hills and rocks and trees. They felt scared and sad.
+
+They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had never climbed the hill. They wished they had stayed in the village. They hoped someone would find them and help them. They hoped they would see their homes and their families again.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with their wagon. They put their toys and books in it and pulled it around the yard. Sometimes they pretended it was a train or a boat or a rocket. They had fun together.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog on the other side of the fence. The dog was barking and jumping. It looked angry and scary. Lily and Ben were afraid. They ran to their wagon and hid behind it.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. "We don't like you!"
+
+The dog kept barking and jumping. It wanted to play, but Lily and Ben did not know that. They wished the dog would leave them alone.
+
+Then they heard a voice. It was their mom. She was calling them from the porch.
+
+"Lily! Ben! Come inside, it's time for lunch!"
+
+Lily and Ben were happy to hear their mom. They grabbed their wagon and ran to the porch. They left the dog behind.
+
+"Mom, there was a big dog and it was barking and jumping and it was scary!" Lily said.
+
+"Mom, we hid behind our wagon and we shouted at the dog, but it did not go away!" Ben said.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. The dog is not mean, it just wants to play. But you don't have to play with it if you don't want to. You can play with your wagon instead. It's peaceful and safe here."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and nodded. They ate their lunch and then played with their wagon some more. They forgot about the dog and had a good day.
+One day, a big fire started in a house. The people who lived there ran out, but they left their cat inside. The cat was scared and hid under the bed. She could see the fire and the smoke. She started to suffer and cry.
+
+A fireman came to the house. He wore a red hat and a yellow coat. He had a hose and a mask. He was fast and brave. He went inside the house and looked for the cat. He heard her cry and found her under the bed. He picked her up and carried her out. He gave her to the people who lived there.
+
+The people were happy and thanked the fireman. They hugged their cat and gave her water and food. The cat was happy too and licked the fireman's hand. She said, "Meow, meow, thank you, fireman. You saved me from the fire. You are fast and brave and kind." The fireman smiled and said, "You're welcome, cat. I'm glad you're okay. I love cats. They are cute and smart and friendly." The cat and the fireman became friends. The end.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Sara had a tea set and Ben had a truck. They decided to have a tea party with their stuffed animals.
+
+Sara poured some water from the pot into the cups. She gave one cup to Ben and one to her teddy bear. She said, "Here you go, Ben. Here you go, Teddy. Drink your tea. It is very yummy."
+
+Ben took a sip from his cup and made a face. He did not like the water. He wanted juice. He said, "Sara, this is not tea. This is water. Water is boring. I want juice."
+
+Sara did not have any juice. She only had water. She said, "Sorry, Ben. I do not have juice. You can pretend it is juice. It is fun to pretend."
+
+Ben did not want to pretend. He was angry. He threw his cup on the floor. The water spilled on the carpet. The carpet became wet and dirty.
+
+Sara was shocked. She said, "Ben, why did you do that? You made a mess. Mommy will be mad. You have to say sorry."
+
+Ben felt bad. He knew he was wrong. He said, "Sorry, Sara. Sorry, carpet. I was rude. I should not have thrown my cup. I will help you clean it up."
+
+Sara and Ben got some towels and wiped the carpet. They worked slow and careful. They did not want to make it worse. They hoped Mommy would not notice.
+
+Mommy came into the living room. She saw Sara and Ben sitting on the floor with towels and wet spots. She said, "What happened here? Did you spill something?"
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They were afraid Mommy would be angry. They said, "We were having a tea party. We had an accident. We are sorry. We are trying to fix it."
+
+Mommy smiled. She said, "I see. Well, accidents happen. I am glad you are sorry and you are trying to fix it. Next time, be more careful with your cups. And maybe use pretend water instead of real water. It is easier to clean up."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They said, "Okay, Mommy. We will. Thank you for being nice."
+
+Mommy hugged them. She said, "You are welcome. I love you. Now, how about some real juice and cookies?"
+
+Sara and Ben cheered. They said, "Yes, please. We love juice and cookies. And we love you, Mommy."
+
+They followed Mommy to the kitchen. They left their toys and towels on the floor. They forgot about the carpet. They were happy.
+Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They saw a big tent with many colors. Mom said it was a circus. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They bought tickets and entered the tent. They saw many animals and people doing funny things. They heard music and laughter. They liked the circus.
+
+Then they saw a man with a red nose, big shoes and colorful clothes. He was a clown. He made funny faces and jokes. He threw pies and balloons. He was playful. Lily and Sam laughed a lot.
+
+The clown saw them and came closer. He smiled and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you want to play with me?" He gave them each a balloon. Lily and Sam nodded. They liked the clown.
+
+The clown took them by the hand and led them to the center of the ring. He said, "Now, let's have some fun. Can you recognize this animal?" He pointed to a picture of a lion. Lily and Sam said, "Lion!" The clown said, "Very good. How about this one?" He pointed to a picture of a monkey. Lily and Sam said, "Monkey!" The clown said, "Excellent. And this one?" He pointed to a picture of himself. Lily and Sam said, "Clown!" The clown said, "That's right. And you know what? You are both clowns too. Look!" He put red noses on their faces and big hats on their heads. Lily and Sam looked at each other and giggled. They felt happy. They were clowns.
+Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play something fun, but they did not have many toys. They looked around the room and saw a big closet. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's pretend the closet is a spaceship!" Lily said. "We can be creative and make our own controls and sounds."
+
+"OK!" Ben agreed. "I will be the pilot and you will be the co-pilot. We can go to the moon and see the stars."
+
+They opened the closet and climbed inside. They used some clothes and hangers and boxes to make their spaceship. They made buttons and levers and switches with their fingers. They made beeping and whooshing and zooming sounds with their mouths.
+
+"Ready for takeoff?" Ben asked.
+
+"Ready!" Lily answered.
+
+They counted down from ten to one and then pretended to blast off. They felt the closet shake and rattle as they left the earth. They looked out of the closet door and saw the sky and the sun and the clouds.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily exclaimed. "We are in space!"
+
+They pretended to steer the spaceship and explore the galaxy. They saw planets and comets and asteroids. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They played for a long time until their mom called them for lunch.
+
+"Time to land the spaceship!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, let's find a good spot on the moon!" Lily said.
+
+They pretended to land the spaceship and got out of the closet. They were hungry and happy.
+
+"Did you have fun, kids?" their mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom!" they said. "We pretended the closet was a spaceship and we went to the moon!"
+
+"That sounds very creative!" their mom said. "You have great imaginations!"
+
+They smiled and hugged their mom. They loved to pretend.
+Lily liked to play with her toy soldiers. She had many of them, in different colors and shapes. She liked to make them do things, like march, fight, and salute. She was very organized. She always put her soldiers in neat rows and groups, and gave them names and ranks.
+
+One day, she invited her friend Max to play with her. Max also liked soldiers, but he liked to make them do different things. He liked to make them fly, crash, and explode. He was not very organized. He threw his soldiers all over the floor, and did not care about their names or ranks.
+
+"Max, stop!" Lily said. "You are making a mess. You have to do what I say. I am the general, and these are my soldiers. They are very organized. They do not fly, crash, or explode. They march, fight, and salute."
+
+"But that is boring," Max said. "I want to do what I want. I am the captain, and these are my soldiers. They are very fun. They fly, crash, and explode. They do not march, fight, or salute."
+
+Lily and Max started to argue. They did not want to play together anymore. They grabbed their soldiers and went to different corners of the room. They did not talk to each other.
+
+Lily's mom came in and saw them. She was sad. She wanted them to be friends and have fun. She had an idea. She brought them a big box and said, "Why don't you do something together? You can use this box to make a fort for your soldiers. You can both help and share. You can be organized and fun. What do you think?"
+
+Lily and Max looked at the box. They looked at each other. They smiled. They said, "Okay, let's do it!" They put their soldiers in the box and started to decorate it. They used crayons, stickers, and paper. They made windows, doors, and flags. They made their soldiers do different things, but they also listened to each other. They were organized and fun. They were friends.
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play in the hall. The hall has a big rug and a long mirror. They can run and jump and see themselves in the mirror.
+
+One day, Tom finds a gum in his pocket. He puts it in his mouth and chews it. It is sweet and sticky. He blows a big bubble and pops it. He thinks it is fun.
+
+He says to Lily, "Look, I have gum. Do you want some?"
+
+Lily nods and smiles. She likes gum too. Tom gives her a piece and she chews it. She tries to blow a bubble, but it is hard. She keeps chewing and chewing.
+
+But then, Mom comes to the hall. She sees Tom and Lily with gum in their mouths. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? You know you are not allowed to chew gum in the house. It can make a mess on the rug and the mirror. Spit it out right now!"
+
+Tom and Lily spit out their gum in the trash. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to have some fun. We did not mean to make a mess."
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "I know, but gum is not for playing. It is for eating outside. Next time, ask me first. Now, go wash your hands and face. Then you can play with your toys in your room. You are fine, but no more gum, okay?"
+
+Tom and Lily nod and say, "Okay, Mom. We love you."
+
+They go to wash their hands and face. They are fine, but they still wish they could blow bubbles.
+Lily liked to go to the park with her mom and dad. She liked to see the ducks and the geese and the swans in the pond. She liked to feed them bread and watch them swim and quack and honk.
+
+One day, she saw a swan that was different from the others. It was black, not white, and it had a red beak, not orange. It was alone, not with a family. Lily thought it was mysterious and beautiful. She wanted to be its friend.
+
+She asked her mom, "Mom, why is that swan black?"
+
+Her mom said, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe it came from far away, or maybe it was born that way. It is very rare and special."
+
+Lily said, "Can I give it some bread?"
+
+Her mom said, "Sure, but be careful. Swans can be shy and sometimes bite."
+
+Lily walked slowly to the edge of the pond. She held out a piece of bread in her hand. The black swan looked at her with its dark eyes. It swam closer and took the bread from her hand. It did not bite. It made a soft sound, like a whisper.
+
+Lily smiled. She felt happy. She said, "Hello, black swan. I like you. Do you like me?"
+
+The black swan nodded its head. It made the sound again. Lily thought it was saying hello back. She said, "I'm Lily. What's your name?"
+
+The black swan did not answer. It did not have a name. But it did not mind. It liked Lily too. It liked her kindness and curiosity. It understood her. It stayed with her until it was time to go home. It waved its wing goodbye.
+
+Lily waved back. She said, "Bye, black swan. I'll see you again. You are my friend."
+
+The black swan smiled. It felt happy too. It had a friend. It said, "Bye, Lily. You are my friend too."
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they woke up very early and saw the sun shining bright. They wanted to go to the park and have fun.
+
+They put on their clothes and their sunglasses. They liked their sunglasses because they made them look cool and helped them see better. They ran to their mom and dad and asked if they could go to the park.
+
+Mom and dad smiled and said yes, but they had to eat breakfast first. They made them toast and jam and milk. Sara and Ben ate quickly and thanked them. Then they grabbed their backpacks and ran to the door.
+
+"Wait a minute," mom said. "You need to put on some sunscreen. The sun is very strong today and you don't want to get burned."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded and let mom put some cream on their faces and arms. They felt a little sticky, but they knew it was good for them. They said goodbye to mom and dad and went outside.
+
+They walked to the park and saw many other kids playing. They saw swings and slides and sand and grass. They also saw something rare: a big rainbow in the sky. It had many colors and looked beautiful.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Sara said, pointing to the rainbow.
+
+"It's so pretty!" Ben said, admiring it.
+
+They decided to play under the rainbow and have a wonderful day. They were happy and glad they woke up early. They loved their sunglasses and the rare rainbow. They loved each other.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their equipment. They have many things to make noise, light and shapes. They have a big box with a switch. When they turn the switch, the box glows with different colors.
+
+One day, they find a new thing in their equipment. It is a small ball with a hole. They wonder what it does. They put it on the box and turn the switch. The ball glows too, but not with colors. It glows with white light.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Sara says. "It is so bright!"
+
+"Maybe it is a star," Ben says. "Let's take it outside and see."
+
+They take the ball and the box outside. It is night and the sky is dark. They see many stars in the sky. They are far and small. They put the ball on the ground and turn the switch. The ball glows with white light. It is near and big.
+
+"Look, we have our own star!" Sara says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can we keep it?" Ben asks.
+
+They hear a voice from the house. It is their mom. She calls them to come inside. It is time for bed.
+
+"Come on, kids, it is late. Bring your equipment inside and go to sleep."
+
+They turn off the switch and pick up the ball and the box. They are sad to leave their star. They hope it will be there tomorrow.
+
+"Good night, star," they say. "We will see you again."
+
+They go inside and put their equipment in their room. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They climb into their beds. Their mom kisses them and turns off the light.
+
+They close their eyes and dream of stars.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with pots and pans. Sara found a big key on the table. She wondered what it could unlock.
+
+"Look, Ben, a key!" she said, holding it up.
+
+"Maybe it unlocks a treasure!" Ben said, his eyes wide.
+
+They looked around the kitchen for something to unlock. They tried the fridge, the oven, the drawers, but nothing worked. Then they saw the sink. It had a small hole under the faucet.
+
+"Let's try the sink!" Sara said, excited.
+
+She put the key in the hole and turned it. Suddenly, water started to spray out of the faucet, very fast and very loud. Sara and Ben screamed and ran away from the sink. They got wet and so did the floor and the walls.
+
+"Mama! Mama!" they cried.
+
+Mama came running into the kitchen. She saw the mess and the key in the sink. She turned off the water and took the key out.
+
+"Oh, Sara and Ben, what have you done?" she said, shaking her head. "This key unlocks the water valve. It is not a toy. It is very bad to play with it. You could have flooded the whole house!"
+
+Sara and Ben felt sorry. They did not know the key was bad. They just wanted to find a treasure.
+
+"We're sorry, Mama," they said, looking down.
+
+Mama sighed. She was not very angry, but she was very tired. She hugged Sara and Ben and dried them off.
+
+"It's okay, my loves," she said. "But please, don't play with keys or sinks again. They are not for fun. They are for washing and cooking. Now, let's clean up this mess and then we can have some cookies. How does that sound?"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They helped Mama clean up the kitchen. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with something else next time. Maybe with their dolls or their cars. Or maybe with a real treasure map.
+Ben was a dog who liked to run and play. He had a good owner who gave him food and water and toys. He also had a friend, Max, who was a cat. Max liked to sleep and snuggle. They lived in a big house with a yard.
+
+One day, Ben and Max saw a new dog in the yard. He was big and black and had sharp teeth. He growled and barked at them. He wanted to take their toys and food. Ben and Max were scared. They ran to the house and hid under the bed.
+
+The new dog followed them and tried to get in the house. He scratched the door and made a loud noise. Ben and Max heard their owner come out. He was angry. He yelled at the new dog and told him to go away. He had a stick in his hand.
+
+The new dog was afraid of the stick and the owner. He stopped barking and scratching. He knelt down and whimpered. He looked sad and sorry. The owner saw that he was not a bad dog, just a lost dog. He felt sorry for him too.
+
+He put down the stick and spoke softly to the new dog. He asked him his name and where he came from. He gave him some food and water and petted him. He called the animal shelter and asked if they knew the new dog's owner. They said they did. He was a terrible owner who did not care for the new dog. He had left him on the street.
+
+The owner decided to keep the new dog. He gave him a new name, Rex, and a new collar. He introduced him to Ben and Max and told them to be friends. Ben and Max were happy. They shared their toys and food with Rex. They played and snuggled with him. They had a new friend. They all had a good owner. They lived in a big house with a yard. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the backyard. They saw a large grill near the fence. It was shiny and black, with a lid and a handle.
+
+"Let's go see the grill," Tom said. He ran towards it, and Lily followed him.
+
+They reached the grill and looked at it. It had some knobs and buttons on the front. Tom wanted to touch them, but Lily stopped him.
+
+"No, Tom, don't touch the grill. It might be hot or dirty," she said.
+
+"But I want to see what it does," Tom said. He reached for a knob and turned it.
+
+Suddenly, the grill made a loud hissing sound and a flame came out of it. Tom and Lily screamed and ran away from the grill.
+
+They heard their dad's voice from the house. He came out and saw the grill on fire. He quickly turned it off and looked at Tom and Lily.
+
+"What were you doing with the grill?" he asked. He was angry and worried.
+
+"We were just looking at it, dad," Tom said. He was scared and sorry.
+
+"Lily, did you follow Tom to the grill?" dad asked.
+
+"Yes, dad, I did. But I told him not to touch it," Lily said. She was sad and honest.
+
+Dad sighed and hugged them. He was glad they were not hurt.
+
+"Listen, kids, the grill is not a toy. It is dangerous and only for grown-ups. You should never touch it or go near it without me or mom. Do you understand?" he said.
+
+"Yes, dad, we understand. We are sorry. We won't do it again," Tom and Lily said.
+
+Dad smiled and kissed them. He was proud and loving.
+
+"Good. Now, how about we go inside and have some cookies and milk?" he said.
+
+"Yay, cookies and milk!" Tom and Lily said. They followed dad to the house. They were happy and hungry.
+Ben loves to collect things. He has a box full of rocks, shells, feathers and buttons. He likes to look at them and sort them by color, shape and size. He thinks they are pretty and special.
+
+One day, he finds a new thing to collect. It is a shiny metal ring with a tag on it. He picks it up and reads the tag. It says "Spot" and has a phone number. Ben thinks it is a collar for a dog. He wonders where the dog is and if it is lost.
+
+He puts the collar in his pocket and runs to his mom. He shows her the collar and tells her what he found. "Mom, look! I found a collar for a dog. It says Spot. Can we keep it?"
+
+Mom smiles and hugs Ben. She is proud of him for being a good finder. She tells him that the collar belongs to someone else and that they should call the number on the tag. "Maybe Spot is looking for his collar and his owner is looking for him. We should help them find each other, don't you think?"
+
+Ben nods and agrees. He is a little sad to give up his new thing, but he is happy to help the dog. He hopes that Spot is safe and happy too. He and mom call the number and talk to a nice lady. She says that Spot is her dog and that he ran away from the park. She is very worried and grateful that Ben found his collar. She asks them to meet her at the park and bring the collar.
+
+Ben and mom go to the park and see Spot. He is a big, brown, fluffy dog with a wagging tail. He runs to them and licks Ben's face. Ben laughs and pets him. He gives him back his collar and puts it around his neck. Spot barks and wags his tail more. He is happy to have his collar and his owner back.
+
+The lady thanks Ben and mom and gives them a hug. She says that Ben is a hero and a collector. She gives him a reward: a new button for his box. It is shiny and blue and has a paw print on it. Ben thinks it is the best button ever. He says thank you and puts it in his pocket. He is happy to have a new thing and a new friend. He waves goodbye to Spot and the lady and goes home with mom. He can't wait to show his button to his box. He thinks they will like it too.
+Lily and Ben were twins who lived on a farm. They liked to play with the animals and help their mom and dad. One day, they saw a big truck with a new tractor on it. The tractor was shiny and red and had big wheels.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "Can we ride on it?"
+
+"Maybe later," their dad said. "First, I have to fit it in the barn. It is very big and the barn is very small."
+
+Lily and Ben were impatient. They wanted to ride on the tractor right away. They followed their dad to the barn and watched him try to fit the tractor inside. He had to move some hay and some tools and some boxes. He had to turn the tractor this way and that way. He had to be very careful not to hit anything.
+
+"Is it in yet?" Ben asked.
+
+"Not yet," their dad said. "It is almost in. Just a little more."
+
+Lily and Ben waited and waited. They were bored and hungry and tired. They wished their dad would hurry up. They started to whine and cry.
+
+"Please, dad, can we ride on the tractor now?" Lily asked.
+
+"Please, dad, can we have a snack now?" Ben asked.
+
+Their dad sighed. He loved his twins, but they were making it hard for him to fit the tractor in the barn. He looked at them and smiled.
+
+"Okay, okay," he said. "I think it is in enough. Come on, let's go for a ride. And then we can have a snack. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Ben cheered. They ran to the tractor and climbed on it. Their dad started the engine and drove them around the farm. They saw the cows and the sheep and the chickens. They saw the fields and the trees and the flowers. They felt the wind and the sun and the fun. They forgot about being impatient. They were happy and grateful. They hugged their dad and thanked him.
+
+"Thank you, dad, for fitting the tractor in the barn," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, dad, for taking us for a ride," Ben said.
+
+"You're welcome, my loves," their dad said. "You're the best thing that ever fit in my heart."
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. But sometimes they would quarrel over who got to play with what. One day, they found a big jug in the kitchen. It was shiny and had a funny shape.
+
+"I want to play with the jug!" Lily said.
+
+"No, I want to play with the jug!" Tom said.
+
+They both grabbed the jug and pulled it hard. The jug was heavy and slippery. It slipped out of their hands and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. Lily and Tom were scared. They heard their mom coming.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked. She saw the broken jug and the twins. She was angry and sad.
+
+"Lily and Tom, you were not careful with the jug. It was a special jug that grandma gave me. Now it is gone. You need to say sorry and help me clean up."
+
+Lily and Tom felt bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They said sorry to mom and to each other. They helped mom pick up the pieces and put them in the trash. They hugged mom and promised to be more careful and not quarrel over toys. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them. She gave them a cookie and a glass of milk. They smiled and said thank you. They learned their lesson and played nicely together.
+Sara and Ben went to the farm with their mom. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. Sara liked the sheep best. They were soft and white and made funny noises. Ben liked the cows best. They were big and brown and gave milk.
+
+But there was one animal that Sara and Ben did not like. It was a goat. The goat was unusual. It had horns and a beard and a bad smell. It also liked to eat everything, even things that were not food. The goat tried to eat Sara's hat, Ben's shirt and mom's bag.
+
+"Stop it, goat!" Sara said. "That is my hat!"
+
+"Go away, goat!" Ben said. "That is my shirt!"
+
+"Shoo, goat!" mom said. "That is my bag!"
+
+But the goat did not listen. It ignored them and kept eating. Sara, Ben and mom were angry and scared. They ran away from the goat and went to see other animals.
+
+The goat was happy. It had a lot of things to eat. It did not care what Sara, Ben and mom said. It liked to ignore them and do what it wanted. It was an unusual goat.
+Sam is a smart boy who likes to read novels. He has many novels in his room, but his favorite one is about a dog who goes on adventures. He reads it every night before he sleeps.
+
+One day, Sam's mom tells him to clean his room. She says there are too many things on the floor and under the bed. She says they will rot if he does not put them away. Sam does not want to clean his room. He wants to read his novel.
+
+He says to his mom, "Please, can I read my novel first? It is very fun and I want to know what happens to the dog."
+
+His mom says, "No, Sam, you have to clean your room now. You can read your novel later. If you leave your things on the floor, they will rot and smell bad. Do you want that?"
+
+Sam says, "No, I don't want that. But I don't want to clean my room either. It is boring and hard."
+
+His mom says, "Sam, cleaning your room is not boring or hard. It is easy and good. You just have to put your things in the right places. Then you will have more space and more time to read your novel. And you will make me happy. Don't you want to make me happy?"
+
+Sam thinks for a moment. He loves his mom and he wants to make her happy. He also loves his novel and he does not want it to rot. He says, "Okay, mom, I will clean my room. But can you help me a little?"
+
+His mom says, "Of course, Sam, I will help you a little. But you have to do most of the work. It is your room, after all. Come on, let's start."
+
+Sam and his mom start to clean his room. They pick up his toys, his clothes, his books, and his other things. They put them in the closet, the drawers, the shelves, and the bin. They make his bed and dust his desk. They work together and have fun. They talk and laugh and sing.
+
+Soon, Sam's room is clean and tidy. He feels proud and happy. He says to his mom, "Look, mom, we did it! My room is so nice and clean. Thank you for helping me."
+
+His mom says, "You're welcome, Sam. I'm proud of you. You did a great job. Now you can read your novel. But first, give me a hug and a kiss."
+
+Sam hugs and kisses his mom. He says, "I love you, mom. You are the best."
+
+His mom says, "I love you too, Sam. You are the best too. Now go and enjoy your novel. And don't forget to brush your teeth before you sleep."
+
+Sam says, "Okay, mom. Good night."
+
+He picks up his novel and goes to his bed. He opens the book and starts to read. He is happy and excited. He wonders what will happen to the dog. He hopes he will have a good adventure. He smiles and reads on.
+Anna and Ben are having lunch with Mom and Dad. They are eating sandwiches and apples. Anna likes her sandwich. It has cheese and ham. Ben likes his sandwich too. It has peanut butter and jelly.
+
+Mom gives them each a napkin. A napkin is a soft thing you use to wipe your mouth and hands. Anna puts her napkin on her lap. Ben puts his napkin on his head.
+
+"Why do you put your napkin on your head?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"Because it is fun," Ben says. "And it makes me look like a pirate."
+
+Anna wonders what a pirate is. She has heard Mom and Dad talk about pirates. They are people who sail on boats and look for treasure. They wear hats and eye patches and say "Arrr".
+
+"Can I be a pirate too?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"Sure," Ben says. "Here, you can have my napkin."
+
+Ben takes his napkin off his head and gives it to Anna. Anna puts it on her head and ties it like a hat. She feels silly and happy.
+
+"Now we are both pirates," Ben says. "Let's go find some treasure."
+
+They get up from their chairs and run to the living room. They look under the couch, behind the curtains, and in the toy box. They find some coins, some stickers, and a shiny necklace.
+
+"Wow, look at all this treasure," Anna says.
+
+"We are the best pirates ever," Ben says.
+
+They put their treasure in a basket and sit on the floor. They pretend to count their coins and admire their stickers and necklace. They laugh and play until Mom and Dad come to see them.
+
+"What are you two doing?" Mom asks.
+
+"We are pirates," Anna and Ben say.
+
+"We found treasure," Ben says.
+
+"That's wonderful," Dad says. "But you know what else is wonderful? Nap time."
+
+Anna and Ben groan. They don't want to stop playing. They want to be pirates some more.
+
+"Can we take our treasure with us?" Anna asks.
+
+"Of course," Mom says. "But you have to put your napkins back on the table first."
+
+Anna and Ben take their napkins off their heads and put them on the table. They take their basket of treasure and follow Mom and Dad to their rooms. They put their treasure on their beds and lie down. They close their eyes and dream of more pirate adventures.
+Ella loved to bake with her grandma. Grandma was elderly, but she was very kind and funny. She taught Ella how to make cookies, cakes, and pies. Ella liked to lick the spoon and taste the dough.
+
+One day, they decided to bake a special treat for Ella's dog, Max. Max was a big, fluffy dog who liked to play and cuddle. He also liked to chew on bones. Grandma said they could bake some bone-shaped cookies for him.
+
+They mixed flour, butter, sugar, and eggs in a big bowl. Then they rolled out the dough and cut out some bone shapes with a cookie cutter. They put them on a tray and into the oven. They waited for a few minutes until they smelled something yummy.
+
+"Let's check on the cookies, Ella," Grandma said. They opened the oven and saw the cookies were golden and crisp. They took them out and let them cool on a rack.
+
+"Can we give one to Max now, Grandma?" Ella asked.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. But be careful, they are still hot," Grandma said.
+
+Ella picked up a cookie and ran to the living room, where Max was sleeping on the couch. She woke him up and showed him the cookie.
+
+"Look, Max, we baked you a bone!" Ella said.
+
+Max sniffed the cookie and wagged his tail. He licked Ella's face and took the cookie from her hand. He crunched it happily and looked for more.
+
+"Thank you, Ella. Thank you, Grandma. You are the best," Max said in his doggy way.
+
+Ella and Grandma smiled and hugged each other. They were happy to make Max happy. They loved to bake together.
+Lisa and Tom moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Mom and Dad said they could help after they unpacked their own things.
+
+Lisa and Tom wanted to play, so they went to the garage. The garage was big and had a lot of stuff. They saw a bike, a ball, a doll, and a drum. They wanted to try them all.
+
+"Look, a bike!" Tom said. He got on the bike and tried to pedal. But the bike was too big for him and he fell down. He hurt his knee and cried.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Lisa asked. She ran to him and gave him a hug. She saw a band-aid in a box and put it on his knee. "There, all better."
+
+"Thank you, Lisa," Tom said. He smiled and hugged her back. He saw a ball and threw it to her. "Let's play catch!"
+
+"Okay!" Lisa said. She caught the ball and threw it back. They played catch and laughed. They were cheerful.
+
+Mom and Dad came to the garage and saw them playing. They were happy to see them having fun.
+
+"Wow, you found some toys in the garage!" Mom said. "Do you like them?"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Lisa and Tom said.
+
+"That's great," Dad said. "But we still have to unpack some more boxes. Do you want to help us?"
+
+"Okay," Lisa and Tom said. They put the toys back in the garage and followed Mom and Dad. They helped them unpack and made their new house cozy. They liked their new house.
+Lily and Tom are young friends who like to joke and play. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and run to it.
+
+"Let's go down the slide together!" Lily says.
+
+"OK, but I will go first!" Tom says.
+
+They climb up the steps and sit on the slide. Tom pushes off and slides down. He makes a funny sound with his mouth. He goes "woooo" and "weee" and "boing". Lily laughs and follows him. She makes a funny sound too. She goes "yippee" and "zoom" and "splat".
+
+They land on the sand and roll over. They are happy and silly. Their moms watch them and smile.
+
+"That was fun!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, it was!" Tom says. "Do you want to joke some more?"
+
+"Sure! What do you have in mind?" Lily asks.
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. Then he whispers something in Lily's ear. She nods and grins. They have a plan.
+
+They get up and run to the swings. They see a boy and a girl on the swings. They are older than Lily and Tom. They swing high and fast.
+
+"Excuse me, can we have a turn?" Lily asks.
+
+The boy and the girl look at them. They are not very nice.
+
+"No, you can't. These are our swings. Go away, you are too young!" the boy says.
+
+"Yeah, go away, you are too small!" the girl says.
+
+Lily and Tom pretend to be sad. They walk away slowly. But they are not really sad. They are joking.
+
+They wait until the boy and the girl are swinging very high. Then they run back to the swings. They grab the chains and pull them down. The boy and the girl lose their balance and fall off. They land on the sand and make a loud sound. They go "ouch" and "ow" and "waa".
+
+Lily and Tom laugh and jump on the swings. They swing low and slow. They make a funny sound. They go "ha ha" and "hee hee" and "ho ho".
+
+They joke the boy and the girl. They are happy and silly. Their moms watch them and shake their heads.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big deer near the trees. The deer had brown fur and long legs. It was eating some grass.
+
+"Look, a deer!" Sara said. "Can we go and say hello?"
+
+Tom nodded. He liked animals. They walked slowly and quietly towards the deer. They did not want to scare it.
+
+The deer saw them and lifted its head. It looked at them with big eyes. It did not run away. It seemed curious.
+
+"Hi, deer!" Sara said. "You are very pretty. Can we pet you?"
+
+The deer did not answer. It stretched its neck and sniffed Sara's hand. It felt soft and warm. Sara smiled and stroked its fur.
+
+Tom reached out his hand too. He wanted to touch the deer. But he was not careful. He pulled its ear by mistake.
+
+The deer did not like that. It made a loud noise and jumped away. It ran into the trees.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom said. He rubbed his hand. The deer had bitten him.
+
+Sara looked at Tom. She was angry. "Why did you do that?" she said. "You hurt the deer. You made it go away. You are a bad boy."
+
+Tom felt guilty. He did not mean to hurt the deer. He was sorry. He wanted to say sorry to Sara and the deer. But he did not know how.
+
+He looked at the ground. He did not say anything. He wished he had been more gentle. He wished the deer would come back. He wished Sara would forgive him.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pretty dress and a red lip. Lily liked to take Anna everywhere she went.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw a boy who was playing with a truck. The boy looked at Anna and said, "I like your doll. Can I play with her?"
+
+Lily shook her head and hugged Anna. She said, "No, she is mine. You can't take her."
+
+The boy frowned and said, "But I want to play with her. She has a nice lip. Let me see."
+
+He reached out his hand and tried to grab Anna. Lily pulled Anna away and said, "No, no, no! Go away!"
+
+The boy got angry and said, "You are mean. I will take your doll anyway."
+
+He pushed Lily and snatched Anna from her arms. He ran away with Anna, laughing.
+
+Lily cried and said, "Mom, mom, help! He took my doll!"
+
+Her mom heard her and ran after the boy. She caught him and said, "Give back the doll to Lily. That is not nice. You have to ask and share."
+
+The boy looked scared and said, "Sorry, sorry. I just wanted to play."
+
+He gave back Anna to Lily. Lily wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, boy. But don't take my doll again."
+
+She hugged Anna and said, "I love you, Anna. You are my best friend."
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they want new things. They see them on TV or in the store. They ask their mom and dad for them.
+
+Mom and dad work hard. They provide food and clothes and a home for Lila and Ben. They also give them some money to buy things they like. But they cannot buy everything. They say money is not magic. It does not grow on trees. They have to save some money for important things.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben see a big toy car. It has lights and sounds and can move by itself. They want it very much. They ask mom and dad for it. Mom and dad say it is too expensive. They say they do not have enough money for it. They say Lila and Ben have many toys already. They say they should be happy with what they have.
+
+Lila and Ben are sad. They do not understand. They think mom and dad do not love them. They think they are mean. They go to their room and cry. They do not want to play with their toys. They think they are boring.
+
+Mom and dad hear them cry. They feel sorry for them. They love them very much. They want them to be happy. They go to their room and hug them. They explain to them why they cannot buy the toy car. They say money is not for buying everything. They say money is for helping people who need it. They say some people have no food or clothes or home. They say some people have empty hands and empty bellies and empty hearts. They say Lila and Ben are lucky to have so much. They say they should be grateful and generous.
+
+Lila and Ben listen to mom and dad. They wipe their tears. They think about what mom and dad say. They feel sorry for the people who have nothing. They want to help them. They ask mom and dad how they can help them. Mom and dad smile. They say they can give some of their toys and books and money to them. They say they can find a place where they can donate them. They say they can make someone happy with their gift.
+
+Lila and Ben agree. They go to their toy box and bookshelf. They pick some of their toys and books and money. They put them in a bag. They are ready to give them away. They feel happy. They hug mom and dad. They say they love them. They say they understand. They say money is not for buying everything. They say money is for providing something. They say money is for providing love.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to dream. Every night, she would close her eyes and imagine she was in a different place. Sometimes she dreamed she was a princess in a castle, sometimes she dreamed she was a pirate on a ship, and sometimes she dreamed she was a superhero with a cape.
+
+One night, she dreamed she was a mighty lion in the jungle. She had a big mane, sharp teeth, and a loud roar. She ran and jumped and played with other lions. She felt happy and strong. She saw a zebra and decided to chase it. She ran faster and faster, until she caught up with the zebra. She opened her mouth to bite it, but then she heard a voice.
+
+"Lily, wake up! It's time for school!" It was her mom, who came to her room. Lily opened her eyes and saw her mom holding a tie. "You have to wear this for your school picture today," her mom said.
+
+Lily groaned. She did not like ties. They were tight and scratchy and boring. She wanted to stay in her dream and be a lion. She said to her mom, "But mom, I don't want to wear a tie. I want to be a lion!"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You can be a lion in your dreams, but you have to wear a tie for your picture. It's only for a few minutes, and then you can take it off. Come on, let me help you put it on."
+
+Lily sighed and got out of bed. She let her mom tie the tie around her neck. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt silly. She did not look like a lion at all. She looked like a little girl with a tie. She wished she could go back to her dream.
+
+But then she thought, maybe she could still be a lion in her heart. She could still be mighty and brave and have fun. She could still roar and play and chase zebras. She could still dream, even when she was awake. She smiled and said to her mom, "Okay, mom, I'm ready. Let's go to school. But can I roar for the picture?"
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "Sure, you can roar for the picture. But only if you smile, too."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will smile and roar. I will be the best lion ever."
+
+And she was.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They also liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. Lily saw a big yellow bulb on a green stem. She ran to it and touched it.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" she said. "A yellow bulb! What is it?"
+
+Ben came closer and looked at the bulb. He thought for a moment.
+
+"I think it is a daffodil," he said. "It is a flower that comes in spring. It will open soon and be very pretty."
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She liked daffodils. They were her favorite color.
+
+"Can we pick it?" she asked.
+
+Ben shook his head.
+
+"No, we can't," he said. "We have to let it grow and bloom. If we pick it, it will die."
+
+Lily made a sad face. She wanted to have the yellow bulb.
+
+"But I want to have it," she said. "I want to put it in a vase and show it to Mommy."
+
+Ben paused. He wanted to make Lily happy, but he also wanted to protect the daffodil. He had an idea.
+
+"Why don't we draw it?" he said. "We can get some paper and crayons and make a picture of the yellow bulb. Then we can show it to Mommy and keep it forever."
+
+Lily liked Ben's idea. She clapped her hands.
+
+"Okay, let's do that!" she said. "But first, let's give the yellow bulb a hug and say thank you."
+
+They hugged the yellow bulb gently and said thank you. Then they ran to the house to get some paper and crayons. They drew the yellow bulb and colored it with bright yellow and green. They showed it to Mommy and she smiled.
+
+"What a beautiful daffodil!" she said. "You are very good artists. And very good friends to the flower. Thank you for sharing it with me."
+
+Lily and Ben felt happy. They had a yellow bulb in their picture and in their garden. They had each other and Mommy. They had a lot of love.
+Lily was a new girl in the big school. She felt scared and alone. She did not know anyone or anything. She missed her old friends and her old toys.
+
+A teacher saw Lily and smiled. She said, "Hello, Lily. I am Miss Rose. I will introduce you to your new class and give you a tour of the school. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+Lily nodded. She held Miss Rose's hand and followed her. Miss Rose was nice and kind. She showed Lily the classroom, the playground, the library, and the cafeteria. She said the names of the other children and the things they liked to do.
+
+Lily saw a boy with a gray hat and a gray car. He was playing by himself. He looked sad. Lily liked cars. She said to Miss Rose, "Can I play with him?"
+
+Miss Rose said, "Of course, Lily. His name is Ben. He is new too. He likes cars and books. Maybe you can be friends."
+
+Lily walked to Ben and said, "Hi, Ben. I am Lily. I like cars too. Can I play with you?"
+
+Ben looked up and smiled. He said, "Hi, Lily. I am happy to meet you. Yes, you can play with me. Do you want to see my car? It can go fast and make noises."
+
+Lily and Ben played with the car and talked. They had fun. They forgot they were scared and alone. They made a new friend. Miss Rose watched them and smiled. She was glad they were happy. She thought they would like the big school.
+Sara liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a shelf for her books. She liked to make everything neat and tidy.
+
+One day, her brother Tom came to her room. He was naughty and wanted to play with her toys. He did not ask Sara, he just took them. He threw the dolls on the floor, he crashed the cars into the wall, and he ripped the books.
+
+Sara was very angry. She shouted at Tom. "Stop it! Stop it! You are naughty! You are messing up my toys! Go away!"
+
+Tom did not listen. He laughed and ran to the table. He saw a glass of water that Sara had left there. He picked it up and threw it at Sara.
+
+The water splashed on Sara and made her wet. The glass broke and made a loud noise. Sara cried and Tom cried too. They were both scared.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw the mess and the broken glass. She was very upset. She said to Tom and Sara. "What did you do? You are both naughty! You could have hurt yourself or each other! You need to say sorry and help clean up!"
+
+Tom and Sara felt sorry. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They helped Mom to clean up the mess and the broken glass. They learned to be careful and to share their toys. Sara still liked to organize her toys, but she also let Tom play with them sometimes. Tom learned to ask Sara and to be gentle with her toys. They became good friends.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many flowers and trees. One day, they saw a big, shiny balloon in the sky. It was red and yellow and blue and green. It was unique. They had never seen a balloon like that before.
+
+"Wow, look at that balloon!" Ben said. "It is so pretty and bright. I want it!"
+
+"Me too!" Lily said. "But how can we get it? It is too high in the sky."
+
+Ben had an idea. He ran to the shed and got a long rope. He tied one end to a rock and the other end to a stick. He threw the rock at the balloon, hoping to catch it with the rope.
+
+"Ben, what are you doing?" Lily asked. "You can't steal the balloon. It belongs to someone else. Maybe it is a gift or a prize. That is not nice."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He wanted the balloon very much. He threw the rock again and again, but he missed every time. The balloon kept floating in the sky, out of his reach.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud pop. The balloon had burst. It was not a real balloon, but a plastic bag filled with air. It had escaped from a trash can and flew in the wind. The pieces of the bag fell to the ground like rain.
+
+Ben and Lily were sad and sorry. They had wasted their time and hurt the sky. They learned a lesson. They should not try to steal things that are not theirs. They should enjoy the beauty of the sky and be grateful for what they have.
+Lila and Nina are sisters. They like to play in the garden. They have a rare plant. It is blue and has big leaves. They water it every day.
+
+One day, they see something new on the plant. It is a small green ball. They are curious.
+
+"What is that?" Lila asks.
+
+"Maybe it is a fruit," Nina says.
+
+"Can we eat it?" Lila wonders.
+
+"I don't know. Let's wait and see," Nina says.
+
+They watch the ball every day. It grows bigger and bigger. It changes color. It becomes yellow, then orange, then red. It looks juicy and shiny.
+
+One morning, they hear a loud pop. They run to the plant. The ball has burst open. Inside, there are many small seeds. They are colorful and shiny too.
+
+"Wow!" Lila and Nina say.
+
+They pick up some seeds. They taste them. They are sweet and sour.
+
+"Yummy!" Lila and Nina say.
+
+They share the seeds with their mom and dad. They save some for later. They plant some in the ground. They hope they will grow into more rare plants. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben were very happy to go to Grandma's house. They loved Grandma and her big garden. They helped Mom and Dad unpack the car. They took their bags to their room. They saw a big bed, a lot of toys, and a window with a nice view.
+
+"Look, Ben, we can see the birds and the flowers!" Sara said.
+
+"Yes, and we can play with them later!" Ben said.
+
+They heard Grandma call them for dinner. They ran downstairs and hugged Grandma. She smiled and kissed them. She had made their favorite food: chicken, potatoes, and peas. They ate with Mom, Dad, and Grandma. They said thank you and please. They were not ignorant. They knew how to be polite.
+
+After dinner, Grandma had a surprise for them. She brought out a big cake with candles. It was Sara's birthday. Sara was very happy. She blew out the candles and made a wish. Grandma cut the cake and gave everyone a slice. It was chocolate cake with cream and strawberries. It was the best dessert ever.
+
+"Happy birthday, Sara!" everyone said.
+
+"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you, everyone! I love you!" Sara said.
+
+She shared her cake with Ben. He was her best friend. They ate their dessert and licked their fingers. They were very happy to be at Grandma's house.
+Tom and Jen are twins. They like to play with toys and dress up. One day, Mom says, "We are going to the store. You can pick one toy each." Tom and Jen are happy. They say, "Yay! Thank you, Mom!"
+
+At the store, Tom and Jen see many toys. They run around and look at them. Tom sees a big truck. He says, "I want this truck. It can make noise and move." Jen sees a doll. She says, "I want this doll. It has a pretty dress and hair." They take the toys to Mom.
+
+Mom says, "Are you sure you want these toys? They are very big. They might not fit in your room." Tom and Jen say, "Yes, we want them. They are the best toys ever." Mom says, "Okay, but you have to share and take care of them." Tom and Jen say, "We will, Mom. We promise."
+
+Mom pays for the toys and they go home. Tom and Jen are excited. They want to play with their new toys. But when they get to their room, they have a problem. The truck and the doll are too big. They do not fit in their bed or their closet. They do not have space to play. Tom and Jen are sad. They say, "Oh no. What can we do?"
+
+Mom hears them and comes to their room. She says, "I told you the toys were big. Maybe you can trade them for smaller toys. Or you can give them to someone who has more room. Or you can keep them and play with them outside. What do you think?" Tom and Jen think for a while. They say, "We think we can trade them for smaller toys. We can find toys that fit in our room and are fun to play with. Can we go back to the store, Mom?" Mom says, "Yes, we can. But next time, listen to me and choose wisely." Tom and Jen say, "We will, Mom. We are sorry." They hug Mom and go back to the store.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big box under a tree. They run to the box and want to open it.
+
+"Maybe there are toys inside!" Lily says.
+
+"Or candy!" Ben says.
+
+They pull and push the box, but it is too heavy. They need something to open it. They look around and see a stick, a rock and a key.
+
+"Let's try the stick!" Lily says. She hits the box with the stick, but nothing happens.
+
+"Let's try the rock!" Ben says. He throws the rock at the box, but it bounces off.
+
+"Let's try the key!" Lily says. She picks up the key and puts it in the hole on the box. She turns the key and hears a click.
+
+They open the box and see a lot of books. They are happy and excited. They love books. They start to search for their favorite ones.
+
+"Look, I found a book about animals!" Lily says.
+
+"Look, I found a book about cars!" Ben says.
+
+They sit down and read the books. They think the books are perfect. They thank the key for opening the box. They share the books with each other and have fun. They are glad they found the box.
+Lily and Ben were playing with marbles on the floor. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They liked to roll them and make them bump into each other.
+
+"Look, this one is weird," Lily said, holding a marble that was clear and had a swirl of blue inside. "It looks like water."
+
+"Let me see," Ben said, reaching for the marble. But Lily pulled it away and said, "No, it's mine. I found it."
+
+Ben was angry and tried to grab the marble from Lily. They both tugged and pulled, but the marble slipped from their hands and rolled away.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben shouted. They ran after the marble, but it was too fast. It hit a chair leg and bounced off. Then it hit a book and flew up. Then it hit a lamp and fell down.
+
+The marble hit the jar where Lily and Ben kept their other marbles. The jar tipped over and all the marbles spilled out. They scattered all over the floor, making a loud noise.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped and looked at the mess. They saw their weird marble among the others. They felt sorry for fighting over it.
+
+"Let's share it," Lily said, picking up the marble. "It's too pretty to keep for ourselves."
+
+"OK," Ben said, smiling. "And let's pick up the other marbles before Mom sees them."
+
+They nodded and started to gather the marbles. They put them back in the jar and put the jar on the shelf. They decided to play with something else. They learned that marbles are fun, but friends are more important.
+Lily and Ben were having lunch with Mom and Dad. They liked to eat pasta with cheese and tomato sauce. Mom gave them each a fork to use. Lily was good at using her fork, but Ben was still learning. He sometimes dropped his pasta or made a mess.
+
+"Ben, be careful with your fork. Don't wave it around like that. You might hurt yourself or someone else," Mom said.
+
+"But I want to wave it, Mom. It's fun. Look, I can make a circle with it," Ben said. He waved his fork in the air and made a whoosh sound.
+
+Lily was worried. She saw that Ben was waving his fork near the window. She knew that outside the window was their cat, Snowy. Snowy liked to sit on the windowsill and watch the birds. Lily loved Snowy and did not want him to get hurt.
+
+"Ben, stop! You might hit Snowy with your fork. He is outside the window. He is our friend. We don't want to hurt him," Lily said.
+
+Ben looked at the window and saw Snowy. He did not mean to hurt Snowy. He liked Snowy too. He felt sorry for waving his fork. He put his fork down and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Snowy. I won't wave my fork anymore. I will use it to eat my pasta."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "That's good, Ben. I'm glad you are sorry. Snowy is glad too. He is still our friend. Can you say sorry to him?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Sorry, Snowy. I love you." He blew a kiss to Snowy through the window. Snowy meowed and licked his paw. He was not angry. He loved Ben and Lily too.
+
+Mom and Dad were happy. They praised Ben for saying sorry and Lily for being worried. They finished their lunch and gave each other hugs. They were a happy family.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. Today is a hot day. They are thirsty and tired.
+
+"Let's go to the fountain and drink some water," Tom says.
+
+"OK," Lily says. They run to the fountain. But when they get there, they see a big bush in front of it.
+
+"Who put this bush here?" Tom asks. He tries to move it, but it is too heavy.
+
+"Maybe it is a magic bush," Lily says. She touches it and feels something soft and furry.
+
+"Ah!" she screams. "There is something in the bush!"
+
+Tom laughs. He knows what it is. He made a joke. He put his teddy bear in the bush. He wanted to scare Lily.
+
+"Lily, Lily, it is only my teddy bear. Look!" He pulls out the bear and shows it to Lily.
+
+Lily is not happy. She does not like Tom's joke. She thinks it is mean.
+
+"Tom, that is not funny. That is silly. You made me scared. I don't want to play with you anymore." She takes her doll and walks away.
+
+Tom feels sorry. He did not mean to make Lily sad. He likes Lily. He wants to be her friend.
+
+"Lily, wait. I am sorry. I was only joking. Please come back. I will share my water with you." He runs after Lily and gives her his water bottle.
+
+Lily stops and looks at Tom. She sees that he is sorry. She likes Tom. She wants to be his friend.
+
+"OK, Tom. I forgive you. But don't do that again. It is not nice to scare people." She takes a sip of water and gives it back to Tom.
+
+They hug and smile. They are friends again. They drink some water and play in the park. They have fun. They don't joke with bushes anymore.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room at night. They had a lamp that could glow in different colors. They liked to pretend they were in a magic land with fairies and dragons.
+
+One night, they were playing with the lamp when they heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She was angry. She opened the door and saw the lamp glowing red and green.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "It is time for bed. You have school tomorrow. Turn off that lamp and go to sleep."
+
+Tom and Lily felt ashamed. They knew they were not supposed to play with the lamp at night. They said sorry to their mom and turned off the lamp. They got into their bed and hugged their teddy bears.
+
+Mom kissed them good night and said, "I love you, but you have to follow the rules. The lamp is for reading, not for playing. Now, close your eyes and dream of nice things."
+
+Tom and Lily closed their eyes and tried to sleep. But they still wanted to play. They whispered to each other, "Maybe we can play with the lamp tomorrow. But only for a little bit. And only when mom is not looking."
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Rose. Rose had a pink dress, blue eyes and long hair. Lily gave her a necklace of beads. The beads were cheap, but Lily did not care. She thought they were pretty.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring Rose with her. She put Rose in her backpack and zipped it up. She did not want anyone to see her doll. She was afraid they might take her away.
+
+At the store, Lily saw many things. She saw books, toys, clothes and candy. She wanted to look at everything, but her mom said they had to hurry. She followed her mom to the checkout. There, she saw a big pile of velvet. The velvet was soft and shiny. It had many colors: red, green, purple and yellow. Lily wanted to touch it.
+
+She reached out her hand and felt the velvet. It was so nice. She wished she had a dress made of velvet. She wondered if Rose would like it too. She opened her backpack and took out Rose. She held her close to the velvet and whispered in her ear.
+
+"Look, Rose, this is velvet. Do you like it? I think it would make a beautiful dress for you. Maybe mom will buy some for us."
+
+But mom did not hear Lily. She was busy paying for the things they bought. She did not see Lily and Rose by the velvet. She took the bags and said to Lily.
+
+"Come on, Lily, we have to go. It's getting late."
+
+Lily did not want to go. She wanted to stay with the velvet. She wanted to make a dress for Rose. She felt sad. She put Rose back in her backpack and zipped it up. She followed her mom to the car. She hoped they would come back to the store someday. She hoped they would buy some velvet. She hoped Rose would be happy.
+Lily liked to climb. She climbed on chairs, on tables, on beds, on sofas. She climbed everywhere she could. She wanted to see what was up high and what was down low. She liked to explore and have fun.
+
+One day, she saw a big cup on the kitchen counter. It was red and shiny and had a picture of a cat on it. Lily wanted to see the cup better. She thought it was pretty and maybe useful. She climbed on a chair and then on the counter. She reached for the cup with her hand.
+
+But the cup was too far and too heavy. Lily lost her balance and fell off the counter. She bumped her head and her arm. She cried out loud. "Ow, ow, ow!"
+
+Mom heard Lily's cry and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily on the floor and the cup on the counter. She picked up Lily and hugged her. She checked her head and her arm. She said, "Lily, are you okay? What happened?"
+
+Lily sobbed and said, "I wanted to see the cup. It was pretty and maybe useful. But it was too far and too heavy. I fell and hurt myself. I'm sorry, Mom."
+
+Mom kissed Lily's head and arm and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're not badly hurt. But you shouldn't climb on the counter. It's dangerous and not for climbing. The cup is not for playing. It's for drinking. It's useful for that. Next time, ask me if you want to see something. I'll help you. Okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I'm sorry. I won't climb on the counter again. I'll ask you. Can I see the cup now?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. You can see the cup now. But be careful. It's still heavy. Here, I'll hold it for you. Do you like the cat on it?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Mom. I like the cat. It's cute and fluffy. Can I drink from the cup?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, Lily. You can drink from the cup. But only water or juice. No soda or milk. They're not good for the cup. They make it sticky and smelly. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. Only water or juice. Thank you, Mom. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You're my smart and brave girl. But please, no more climbing on the counter. Okay?"
+
+Lily said, "Okay, Mom. No more climbing on the counter. Promise."
+Tim and Sam were playing with their toy dinosaurs in the garden. They liked to make them roar and fight and run. Tim had a big, heavy dinosaur with spikes and horns. Sam had a small, green dinosaur with wings and a long tail.
+
+"Your dinosaur is too small and weak," Tim said. "My dinosaur can slap your dinosaur and make it fly away."
+
+"No, it can't," Sam said. "My dinosaur is fast and smart. It can slap your dinosaur and make it fall down."
+
+They made their dinosaurs slap each other with their tails and heads. They made loud noises and laughed. But then, Tim slapped Sam's dinosaur too hard and it flew out of his hand. It landed on the other side of the fence, where a big dog was sleeping.
+
+"Uh-oh," Tim said. "Your dinosaur is gone."
+
+Sam ran to the fence and looked for his dinosaur. He saw the dog wake up and sniff his dinosaur. He was scared. He liked his dinosaur. He did not want the dog to eat it.
+
+"Help me, Tim," Sam said. "We have to get my dinosaur back."
+
+Tim felt sorry for Sam. He did not mean to slap his dinosaur so hard. He wanted to help him. He looked around and saw a stick. He picked it up and ran to the fence.
+
+"Hey, dog," Tim said. "Look at this stick. It is fun to play with. Do you want it?"
+
+The dog saw the stick and wagged its tail. It liked sticks. It dropped Sam's dinosaur and ran to the fence. Tim threw the stick over the fence and the dog chased it.
+
+"Quick, Sam," Tim said. "Get your dinosaur."
+
+Sam reached over the fence and grabbed his dinosaur. He hugged it and smiled. He was happy. He had his dinosaur back.
+
+"Thank you, Tim," Sam said. "You are a good friend."
+
+Tim smiled too. He was glad. He had helped Sam.
+
+"You are welcome, Sam," Tim said. "I am sorry I slapped your dinosaur. Can we still play?"
+
+Sam nodded. He was not mad. He liked to play with Tim.
+
+"Sure, Tim," Sam said. "Let's play. But be careful with your dinosaur. It is very heavy."
+
+They went back to the garden and played with their dinosaurs. They made them roar and fight and run. But they did not slap them too hard. They had fun. They were friends.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making cars, dolls, and animals with their blocks and stuffed toys. They also made a lot of noise and a big mess on the floor and the couch.
+
+Mom came in and saw the messy living room. She was not happy. She said, "Anna and Ben, what have you done? This is a big mess! You have to clean up your toys right now!"
+
+Anna and Ben felt sad and scared. They did not want to make Mom angry. They did not want to stop playing. They looked at each other and started to cry.
+
+Mom saw their tears and felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna and Ben. I know you were having fun, but you have to learn to tidy up after yourselves. It's not fair to leave a mess for others to clean. Come here, let me hug you."
+
+Mom hugged Anna and Ben and comforted them. She said, "I love you, Anna and Ben. You are good kids. How about we clean up together and then we can have a snack and read a story?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and smiled. They said, "We love you, Mom. We are sorry for the mess. We will help you clean up."
+
+Mom, Anna, and Ben worked together to put away their toys. They had fun talking and singing while they cleaned. Then they had some cookies and milk and read a story on the couch. They felt happy and cozy. They learned that cleaning up can be fun too.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find bugs and worms. They had a big pile of dirt and a small shovel each.
+
+"Look, I found a root!" Lily said, holding up a long brown thing. "It was under the dirt. Maybe it is from a tree or a flower."
+
+"Let me see!" Tom said, grabbing the root from Lily. He pulled it hard and it broke in two. "Ha, I destroyed it!"
+
+Lily was angry. She wanted to keep the root. She thought it was pretty and interesting. She snatched the shovel from Tom and hit him on the head with it. "You are crazy! You are mean! Give me back my root!"
+
+Tom cried out. He dropped the root and held his head. He was hurt and sad. He did not like to be hit. He did not mean to make Lily angry. He just wanted to play.
+
+"Stop! Stop!" their mom said, running to them. She saw the root, the shovel, and the tears. She hugged them both and said, "What happened? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Tom and Lily told their mom what they did. They said they were sorry. They did not want to fight. They wanted to be friends.
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm glad you are sorry. But you have to be careful with your toys and your words. You can't destroy things or hit people. That is not nice. You have to share and be gentle. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They hugged their mom and each other. They said they were sorry again. They picked up the root and the shovel and went back to play. They decided to make a house for the root and the bugs and the worms. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the big house. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She checked the kitchen, the living room, the bathroom, but she could not find him. She wondered where he was hiding.
+
+She went upstairs and opened the door to the bedroom. She saw a big bed with a lot of pillows and blankets. She thought maybe Ben was hiding under the bed. She crawled on the floor and lifted the bed skirt. She saw a pair of feet sticking out. She grabbed them and pulled.
+
+"Got you!" she shouted.
+
+"Ow! Let go!" Ben said. He came out from under the bed and rubbed his feet. "That hurt!"
+
+"Sorry," Lily said. "But you have to surrender. I found you."
+
+"No, I don't," Ben said. "You cheated. You can't look under the bed. That's not fair."
+
+"Yes, I can," Lily said. "There are no rules. You have to stay here and be my prisoner."
+
+"No, I don't," Ben said. "I'm going to run away and hide again. You can't catch me."
+
+He ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. He turned the knob and pushed, but it did not move.
+
+"Ha ha!" Lily said. "You can't escape. This is the wealthy room. It has a lock. You have to stay here and surrender."
+
+Ben looked at Lily and frowned. He did not like the wealthy room. He did not like the lock. He did not like to surrender. He wanted to play somewhere else.
+
+"Please, Lily," he said. "Can we go and play in the garden? It's more fun. There are flowers and bugs and swings. Please?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked the garden too. She liked the flowers and bugs and swings. She did not want to make Ben sad.
+
+"Okay," she said. "But only if you say I win."
+
+"Fine," Ben said. "You win. You're the best seeker ever. Can we go now?"
+
+"Yes," Lily said. "But you have to hold my hand. We have to be careful. The wealthy room has a lot of things that can break. We don't want to make a mess."
+
+"Okay," Ben said. He held Lily's hand and they walked to the door. Lily found the key and unlocked it. They opened the door and ran downstairs. They went to the garden and played hide and seek again. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the wealthy room and the lock and the surrender. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. But Ben was grumpy today. He did not want to share the blocks with Sara. He wanted all the blocks for himself.
+
+"Give me that block!" Ben said to Sara. He grabbed a block from Sara's hand. Sara was sad. She did not like Ben's grabbing.
+
+"No, Ben! That is my block!" Sara said. She tried to get the block back. But Ben was stronger. He pushed Sara away. Sara fell down. She hurt her finger. She cried.
+
+"Ben, why did you do that?" Mommy said. She heard Sara's cry. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Sara's finger. It was red and sore. She saw Ben's tower. It was big and tall. She was not happy.
+
+"Ben, you were not nice to Sara. You need to share the blocks. And you need to say sorry to Sara. You hurt her finger." Mommy said.
+
+"I don't want to share. I don't want to say sorry. I want to play with the blocks." Ben said. He was still grumpy.
+
+"Ben, if you don't share and say sorry, you have to quit playing with the blocks. You have to go to your room." Mommy said.
+
+Ben did not like Mommy's words. He did not want to quit playing with the blocks. He did not want to go to his room. But he knew Mommy was serious. He knew Mommy was right. He looked at Sara. She was still crying. He felt bad.
+
+"Okay, Mommy. I will share and say sorry." Ben said. He gave some blocks to Sara. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was mean to you. I hope your finger feels better."
+
+Sara smiled. She took the blocks. She said, "Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. My finger is okay. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben nodded. He smiled too. He said, "Yes, I want to play with you. Let's build something together."
+
+Mommy was glad. She hugged Sara and Ben. She said, "That's very good, Ben and Sara. I'm proud of you. You are good friends."
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and draw with crayons. One day, they find a big box of new crayons in the classroom. They are very happy and want to try them all.
+
+Lily picks a green crayon. She loves green. It is the color of grass and frogs and leaves. She wants to test how it looks on the paper. She draws a big green circle and smiles.
+
+Tom sees Lily's green circle. He likes green too. He wants to test the green crayon. He reaches for it, but Lily holds it tight. She says, "No, Tom, this is my green crayon. You can use another one."
+
+Tom feels sad and angry. He wants the green crayon very much. He does not listen to Lily. He pulls the green crayon from her hand. He breaks it in two. He says, "Now we can both have green."
+

+
+"Hey, little goat. Don't you want some hay?" Sam said.
+
+The brown goat did not answer. It jumped over the fence and ran to Lily. It pushed the white goat away and tried to grab the hay from Lily's hand. Lily screamed. The white goat bleated. The brown goat bit Lily's finger.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow! Mom, the goat bit me!" Lily cried.
+
+Mom and Dad ran to Lily. They saw the brown goat and the white goat fighting over the hay. They saw Lily's finger bleeding.
+
+"Oh, no! Lily, are you okay?" Mom said.

+She took a band-aid from her purse and wrapped it around Lily's finger. Lily stopped crying.

+"Anna and Ben, you are twins. You should love each other and share. Fighting is not nice. It makes you and others sad. Do you understand?" he says.
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They feel sorry. They hug each other and say sorry.
+
+"Dad, we are sorry. We love each other and we will share. Can we have our toys and books back?" they ask.
+
+Dad smiles and nods. He gives them their toys and books back. He tells them to play nicely and to have fun.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They thank dad. They play with their toys and books. They take turns and help each other. They laugh and smile.
+
+They are good twins. They are good friends.
+Lily loved cheese. She liked to eat cheese with bread, cheese with fruit, cheese with crackers. She liked all kinds of cheese: yellow cheese, white cheese, soft cheese, hard cheese. She always asked her mom for more cheese when she was hungry.
+
+One night, Lily had a dream about cheese. She dreamed that she was in a big house made of cheese. The walls were cheese, the roof was cheese, the furniture was cheese. She could eat any cheese she wanted. She was very happy.
+
+She saw a mouse in her dream. The mouse was also happy. He liked cheese too. He came to Lily and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like cheese?"
+
+"Yes, I love cheese!" Lily said. "Do you want to share some cheese with me?"
+
+"Sure, I do!" the mouse said. "You are very kind. This is a lovely cheese house. How did you find it?"
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "I just dreamed it. Maybe you dreamed it too."
+
+"Maybe we did," the mouse said. "Let's enjoy our cheese dream together."
+
+They ate cheese and talked and laughed. They had a lot of fun. They were the best cheese friends.
+
+Lily woke up in the morning. She smiled. She remembered her cheese dream. She wondered if the mouse remembered it too. She hoped he did. She hoped he was happy. She wanted to dream about cheese again. She loved cheese.
+Sara and Ben like to create things with their blocks. They make towers, bridges, castles and cars. They have a lot of fun with their play.
+
+One day, they decide to create a big wheel with their blocks. They put some blocks in a circle and some blocks in the middle. They spin the wheel and watch it go round and round.
+
+"Look, our wheel is so fast!" Sara says.
+
+"Let me try!" Ben says. He pushes the wheel harder and makes it spin faster.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The wheel breaks apart and the blocks fly everywhere. Some blocks hit Sara and Ben and make them fall down. They feel dizzy and hurt.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara cries.
+
+"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Ben says.
+
+They look at each other and see their bumps and bruises. They feel sad and angry.
+
+"Why did you break our wheel?" Sara asks.
+
+"I didn't mean to, I just wanted to make it faster!" Ben says.
+
+They start to argue and blame each other. They forget about their play and their fun.
+
+But then, they hear a voice.
+
+"Hey, what's going on here?" It is their mom. She comes into the room and sees the mess and the tears.
+
+She hugs Sara and Ben and helps them clean up their blocks. She puts some ice on their bumps and kisses their bruises. She makes them feel better.
+
+She also tells them something important.
+
+"I know you like to create things with your blocks, and that's great. But you also need to be careful and gentle with your play. You don't want to hurt yourself or your friend. You need to share and take turns and say sorry when you make a mistake. That's how you play nicely and have more fun."
+
+Sara and Ben listen to their mom and nod. They say sorry to each other and hug. They remember their play and their fun.
+
+They decide to create something new with their blocks. Something that won't break or hurt. Something that will make them happy and dizzy in a good way.
+
+They create a merry-go-round.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play games together. Sometimes they play with blocks, or dolls, or cars. But their favorite game is to test each other. They ask each other questions, like what color is this, or how many fingers do you have, or what sound does a dog make. They try to answer fast and right. They are competitive. They want to win.
+
+One day, they are testing each other with animal sounds. Lily asks Ben, what sound does a cow make? Ben says, moo. Ben asks Lily, what sound does a cat make? Lily says, meow. They go on like this, until Lily asks Ben, what sound does a lion make? Ben thinks hard. He does not know. He says, roar? Lily shakes her head. No, she says, that is not right. A lion makes a different sound. She makes a sound with her mouth, like this: grrr. Ben looks surprised. He says, that is not a sound, that is a noise. Lily says, no, it is a sound. A lion sound. Ben says, no, it is not. It is a noise. A silly noise.
+
+They start to argue. They raise their voices. They do not listen to each other. They are not happy. They are not friends. They are enemies. They stop playing. They turn away from each other. They cross their arms. They frown.
+
+Then, they hear another sound. A sound from outside. A sound like this: woof. They look out the window. They see a dog. A big dog. A friendly dog. The dog sees them. The dog wags its tail. The dog barks again. Woof. The dog wants to play. Lily and Ben forget their argument. They forget their test. They forget their competition. They remember their friendship. They smile. They run to the door. They open the door. They go outside. They play with the dog. They are happy. They are friends. They are not enemies. They are not competitive. They are just Lily and Ben.
+Lila loves to play with her toy monkey. She calls him Bobo and hugs him every night. Bobo is very intelligent and can do many tricks. He can clap his hands, jump up and down, and make funny noises.
+
+One day, Lila decides to bathe Bobo in the sink. She fills the sink with warm water and bubbles. She puts Bobo in the water and washes him with a sponge. She says, "You are a good monkey, Bobo. You need to be clean and shiny."
+
+But Bobo does not like the water. He feels wet and cold. He wants to get out of the sink. He shakes his head and splashes the water. He says, "No, no, no! I don't want to bathe. I want to play. Let me go, Lila."
+
+Lila is surprised and scared. She did not know that Bobo can talk. She drops the sponge and backs away. She says, "Bobo, you can talk? How can you talk? You are a toy monkey."
+
+Bobo jumps out of the sink and runs to the door. He says, "I am not a toy monkey. I am a real monkey. I escaped from the zoo. I found you and pretended to be your toy. But I don't like to bathe. I like to be dirty and free. Goodbye, Lila."
+
+Lila watches Bobo run away. She feels sad and confused. She wonders if she dreamed the whole thing. She says, "Bobo, come back. I miss you. You are my friend."
+Tom and Lily were drawing with crayons on a big paper. They liked to make different shapes and colors. Tom drew a big sun with yellow and orange. Lily drew a green tree with red apples.
+
+"Look at my sun!" Tom said. "It is bright and warm."
+
+"Look at my tree!" Lily said. "It has many fruits."
+
+They were happy with their drawings. But then, Tom saw something on Lily's paper. It was a small eraser. Tom wanted to use the eraser to make his sun bigger. He reached for the eraser, but Lily saw him.
+
+"No, Tom!" Lily said. "That is my eraser. You cannot take it."
+
+Tom did not listen. He grabbed the eraser and tried to rub Lily's tree. Lily was upset. She did not want Tom to erase her tree. She pulled the paper away from Tom. The paper tore in half.
+
+Tom and Lily both paused. They looked at the torn paper. They looked at each other. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I should not have taken your eraser. I should have asked you first."
+
+"I am sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I should not have pulled the paper. I should have shared with you."
+
+They hugged each other. They decided to tape the paper together. They decided to draw a new picture. They drew a rainbow with many colors. They drew a cloud with a smiley face. They drew a heart with their names.
+
+They were happy again. They learned to be nice and fair. They learned to say sorry and forgive. They learned to share and care.
+Sam and Ben are friends who like to play with blocks. They build tall structures with different colors and shapes. They are proud of their creations and show them to each other.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to their playroom. His name is Max and he is bald. He has no hair on his head. He looks different from Sam and Ben, who have brown and black hair. Sam and Ben are curious about Max, but they are also afraid of him. They think he is strange and mean.
+
+Max wants to play with Sam and Ben, but they ignore him. They turn their backs to him and whisper to each other. Max feels sad and lonely. He tries to build his own structure with blocks, but he has no one to share it with.
+
+Sam and Ben finish their structures and put them on a table. They are very tall and colorful. They smile and high-five each other. They think they are the best builders in the playroom.
+
+Max sees their structures and walks over to them. He wants to admire them and ask them how they made them. He hopes they will be nice to him and let him join their game.
+
+But Sam and Ben see Max coming and get angry. They think he wants to ruin their structures or take their blocks. They shout at him and tell him to go away. They say he is not welcome and he is weird.
+
+Max feels hurt and angry. He does not understand why they are so mean to him. He does not want to fight with them or take their blocks. He just wants to be their friend.
+
+He decides to leave them alone and go back to his own structure. But as he turns around, he bumps into the table. The table shakes and the structures start to fall. Sam and Ben scream and try to catch them, but it is too late. Their structures crash to the floor and break into pieces.
+
+Sam and Ben are shocked and sad. They look at their broken structures and cry. They worked so hard to build them and now they are gone.
+
+Max feels sorry for them and wants to help them. He goes to them and says, "I'm sorry. I did not mean to make your structures fall. It was an accident. I leaned on the table and it moved. I'm sorry."
+
+Sam and Ben look at Max and see that he is sincere. They realize that he did not do it on purpose and that he is not a bad boy. They feel ashamed of how they treated him and how they judged him by his appearance.
+
+They say, "It's okay. We're sorry too. We were mean to you and we did not give you a chance. We should not have judged you by your hair. You are not weird or mean. You are just different. And that's okay. We can be different and still be friends."
+
+They smile and hug Max. They invite him to play with them and share their blocks. They ask him about his baldness and he tells them that he has a condition that makes his hair fall out. He says that he does not mind it and that he likes himself the way he is.
+
+They learn more about each other and find out that they have many things in common. They like the same games, the same colors, the same animals. They have fun and laugh together.
+
+They rebuild their structures with Max's help. They make them even taller and more colorful. They are proud of their creations and show them to everyone. They are happy and grateful for their new friend.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't judge people by their appearance. Be kind and open to others. You can find friendship in unexpected places.
+Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play tricks on their mom. One day, they had a plan to surprise her with a big mess in the bathroom. They took all the towels, soap, shampoo and toys and threw them in the bathtub. Then they turned on the water and let it run until it was full and bubbly. They giggled and ran to hide behind the door.
+
+Mom came home from work and was very tired. She wanted to take a hot shower and relax. She put on her bathrobe and walked to the bathroom. She opened the door and saw the water overflowing and the floor wet and slippery. She was very angry and shouted, "Who did this? Sara? Tom? Come here right now!"
+
+Sara and Tom came out of their hiding place and smiled. They thought mom would laugh and hug them. They said, "Surprise, mom! We made you a big bath!"
+
+But mom did not laugh or hug them. She was very upset and scared. She said, "This is not a surprise, this is a disaster! You could have flooded the house or hurt yourself! This is very naughty and dangerous! You are in big trouble, young ones!"
+
+She grabbed their hands and pulled them to their room. She said, "You are grounded for a week! No TV, no toys, no dessert! And you have to clean up the bathroom and apologize to me!"
+
+Sara and Tom started to cry and beg for forgiveness. They realized they had made a big mistake and hurt their mom's feelings. They wished they had never played that trick. They felt very sorry and weak. They learned their lesson the hard way.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big leather ball. They can kick it, throw it, and roll it.
+
+One day, their mom says, "Boys, it is time to clean up your toys. Put them in the toy box, please."
+
+Tim and Sam do not want to clean up. They are lazy. They say, "Mom, can we play a little more? We are having fun with the leather ball."
+
+Mom says, "No, you have played enough. You need to help me with the chores. Cleaning up your toys is one of the chores. If you do not clean up, you will not get a snack."
+
+Tim and Sam do not like that. They love snacks. They say, "OK, mom, we will clean up. But can we include the leather ball in the toy box? We do not want to lose it."
+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can include the leather ball in the toy box. But hurry up, or the snacks will be gone."
+
+Tim and Sam quickly pick up their toys and put them in the toy box. They do not forget the leather ball. They run to the kitchen and see a plate of cookies and a glass of milk. They say, "Thank you, mom, for the snacks. And thank you for letting us include the leather ball in the toy box."
+
+Mom says, "You are welcome, boys. I am proud of you for cleaning up. And I am glad you like the leather ball. It was a gift from your grandpa. He made it himself."
+
+Tim and Sam smile and hug their mom. They enjoy their snacks and think of their grandpa. They love their mom and their leather ball.
+Anna liked to draw pictures with her crayons. She had many colors and she made many animals. She made a cat, a dog, a bird and a fish. But her favorite animal was a rabbit. She drew a big rabbit with long ears and a fluffy tail. She gave it a carrot and a smile.
+
+She was very proud of her rabbit. She wanted to show it to her mom and dad. She ran to the living room with her picture. She saw a big board on the wall. It had many pictures on it. They were pictures of her mom and dad, of her grandparents, of her friends and of her. Anna thought the board was a good place to display her picture. She found a magnet and put it on the corner of her picture. She stuck it on the board next to her face.
+
+She was very happy. She called her mom and dad. They came to the living room and saw her picture. They smiled and hugged her. They said her picture was very original and very beautiful. They said they loved her and her rabbit. Anna felt warm and proud. She said she loved them too. She said she wanted to draw more pictures for them. They said they would love to see them. They said she was a very good artist. Anna smiled and ran back to her crayons. She had many ideas for more animals.
+Lucy loved lemons. She liked to squeeze them and make sour faces. She liked to drink lemon water and lemon tea. She liked to smell lemon soap and lemon candles.
+
+One day, Lucy saw a big lemon tree in her neighbor's yard. She was very enthusiastic. She wanted to pick some lemons and take them home. She ran to the fence and called out.
+
+"Hello, neighbor! Can I have some lemons, please?"
+
+The neighbor was a kind old lady. She smiled and said.
+
+"Of course, dear. You can have some lemons. But you have to ask your mom first. Does she permit you to come to my yard?"
+
+Lucy nodded. She ran back to her house and asked her mom.
+
+"Mom, can I go to the neighbor's yard and pick some lemons? She said I can have some."
+
+Her mom looked out the window and saw the lemon tree. She said.
+
+"Sure, Lucy. You can go and pick some lemons. But be careful and polite. And don't forget to say thank you."
+
+Lucy hugged her mom and said.
+
+"Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+She ran to the neighbor's yard and picked some lemons. She thanked the neighbor and took them home. She was very happy. She shared the lemons with her mom and made some lemonade. They drank it and smiled. They both loved lemons.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find bugs and stones. They had a big bucket to put their treasures in. They saw a patch of dirt that looked different from the rest. It was darker and softer.
+
+"Let's dig here!" said Lily. "Maybe we will find something cool!"
+
+"OK!" said Ben. He took his shovel and started to dig. Lily helped him. They dug and dug until they made a big hole. They looked inside.
+
+"Wow!" said Lily. "Look what we found!"
+
+In the hole, there was a shiny metal box. It had a lock and a key. Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to see what was inside the box.
+
+"Let's open it!" said Ben. He took the key and put it in the lock. He turned it and heard a click. He lifted the lid of the box.
+
+Suddenly, a loud noise came from the box. It was like a roar. Lily and Ben saw something scary. It was a toy lion. It had sharp teeth and red eyes. It jumped out of the box and ran towards them.
+
+"Help!" said Lily. "It's a scary lion!"
+
+"Run!" said Ben. He dropped the box and grabbed Lily's hand. They ran away from the lion as fast as they could. They ran to the house and slammed the door behind them.
+
+They were safe. They hugged each other and breathed hard. They looked at each other and started to laugh.
+
+"That was a silly lion!" said Lily. "It was just a toy!"
+
+"Maybe it was a joke!" said Ben. "Someone put it in the box to scare us!"
+
+They decided to leave the box and the lion in the garden. They did not want to play with them anymore. They found other things to do. They were happy. They forgot about the scary lion. But the lion did not forget about them. It waited in the garden. It wanted to play again. Maybe next time, it would happen.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a big red truck that could drive fast and make loud noises. They took turns driving the truck around the living room, pretending to go on adventures.
+
+One day, their mom made them a special lunch of noodles and sauce. She told them to be careful, because the sauce was spicy and could make their mouths hot. Ben and Lily loved noodles, so they ran to the table and started to eat. But they did not listen to their mom and took big bites of the sauce. Soon, they felt their tongues burn and their eyes water. They cried and asked for water to cool down.
+
+Their mom brought them a glass of water each and said, "I told you the sauce was spicy. You should always listen to your mom and dad, because they know what is good for you. Next time, try a little bit first and see if you like it. And if you don't, you can always have something else."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and drank their water. They felt better and said sorry to their mom. They learned their lesson and decided to be more careful with new foods. They finished their lunch and thanked their mom. Then they went back to play with their truck, but this time they shared it nicely and drove it slowly and quietly. They had fun and were happy.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the farm. They liked to run and jump and see the animals. They saw cows and pigs and chickens and horses. They also saw a big field of corn. The corn was tall and yellow and sweet.
+
+"Look, corn!" Sam said. "Can we pick some?"
+
+"Maybe," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. The farmer does not like it when we take his corn. He says the corn is his food and he works hard to grow it."
+
+Sam and Lily walked to the edge of the field. They saw some corn that looked very good. They reached out to grab it.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. A big dog came running towards them. The dog was the farmer's dog. He was black and brown and had sharp teeth. He was angry that Sam and Lily wanted to take the corn. He wanted to protect the corn from them.
+
+"Run!" Lily shouted. "The dog is coming!"
+
+Sam and Lily dropped the corn and ran away. They ran as fast as they could. They ran back to the house where their mom was waiting for them.
+
+"Mom, mom!" Sam said. "There was a big dog and he chased us and he was scary!"
+
+"Yeah, mom!" Lily said. "He wanted to bite us and he was loud!"
+
+Mom hugged Sam and Lily. She was glad they were safe. She knew the dog was just doing his job. She also knew the farmer was their friend. She wanted to teach Sam and Lily to respect his corn.
+
+"Sam, Lily," Mom said. "I know you like corn. But you cannot take it without asking. The corn belongs to the farmer. He needs it to feed his family and his animals. He also sells it to other people. The dog helps him protect the corn from thieves and pests. He is not a bad dog. He is an amazing dog. He is loyal and brave and smart. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for taking the corn. They did not want to make the farmer or the dog mad. They wanted to be good and polite.
+
+"Can we say sorry to the farmer and the dog?" Sam asked.
+
+"Can we also say thank you for the corn?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course," Mom said. "That is very nice of you. Come on, let's go and see them."
+
+Mom took Sam and Lily to the farm. They saw the farmer and the dog. The farmer was smiling and the dog was wagging his tail. They were not angry anymore.
+
+"Hello, Sam and Lily," the farmer said. "I heard you had a little adventure today."
+
+"Hi, farmer," Sam said. "We are sorry for taking your corn. We did not mean to be bad. We just like corn a lot."
+
+"Hi, dog," Lily said. "We are sorry for making you run and bark. We did not mean to scare you. We think you are an amazing dog."
+
+The farmer and the dog accepted their apology. They were happy that Sam and Lily learned their lesson. They also gave them some corn to take home.
+
+"Here, Sam and Lily," the farmer said. "You can have some corn as a gift. But next time, please ask me first. I have plenty of corn to share. And maybe you can also help me harvest it. It is fun and hard work."
+
+"Thank you, farmer," Sam and Lily said. "We would love to help you. And thank you, dog, for protecting the corn. You are a good dog."
+
+Sam and Lily hugged the farmer and the dog. They felt happy and grateful. They learned to respect the corn and the amazing dog who protected it. They also made new friends. They went home with their mom and enjoyed the corn. It was the best corn ever.
+Ben was a gifted boy who liked to make things with his hands. He had many tools and toys in his room, but his favorite was his hook. He used his hook to hang his pictures, his hats, and his bags on the wall. He liked to see his room look neat and colorful.
+
+One day, he wanted to make a surprise for his mom. He took some paper, some glue, and some glitter from his drawer. He cut the paper into shapes and glued them together. He spread the glitter on top to make them sparkle. He made a star, a heart, a flower, and a bird. He was very proud of his work.
+
+He took his hook and a string and tied the shapes to the hook. He looked for a good place to hang his surprise. He saw a window in the hall that had a lot of light. He climbed on a chair and stuck his hook on the window frame. He let the shapes dangle from the hook. He smiled and ran to find his mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, come and see what I made for you!" he shouted. He took his mom by the hand and led her to the window. "Look, mom, it's a mobile! I made it with paper and glitter and my hook. Do you like it?"
+
+Mom hugged Ben and kissed him on the cheek. "I love it, Ben. It's beautiful and creative. You are a gifted boy. Thank you for making me such a lovely surprise. You made my day." She lifted him up and showed him how the shapes moved and shone in the light. Ben laughed and hugged his mom back. He was happy to see her happy. He liked to make things with his hook.
+Ben and Lily were drawing with crayons on a big sheet of paper. They liked to make different shapes and colors. But sometimes they made mistakes and wanted to change their drawings. Ben had a new eraser that his mom gave him. It was white and soft and could erase crayons.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have an eraser!" Ben said, holding it up. "If I don't like my drawing, I can erase it and make a new one."
+
+"Wow, can I see it?" Lily asked, reaching for the eraser.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It's my new eraser and I don't want to lose it," Ben said, handing it to Lily.
+
+Lily took the eraser and rubbed it on her drawing. She erased a blue circle and made a red heart instead. She smiled and said, "This is fun! I can erase anything I want!"
+
+She erased more and more of her drawing, and some of Ben's too. She made a big mess on the paper and on the floor. The eraser got smaller and smaller and dirtier and dirtier.
+
+"Hey, stop it, Lily! You're erasing everything! And you're making a big mess!" Ben said, trying to get the eraser back.
+
+"No, I want to erase more! It's my turn!" Lily said, holding the eraser tight.
+
+They started to pull and tug on the eraser. They both wanted it and didn't want to share. They made a loud noise and the paper ripped.
+
+Their mom heard them and came into the room. She saw the ripped paper, the crayon bits, and the messy eraser. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing, Ben and Lily? Why are you fighting over the eraser? And why did you make such a mess?" she asked, looking at them.
+
+Ben and Lily stopped pulling and looked at their mom. They felt bad and said, "Sorry, mom."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "You need to learn how to share and how to clean up after yourselves. The eraser is not a toy. It's a tool to help you fix your mistakes, not to make more. Now, you have to help me clean up this mess and then put the eraser away."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom."
+
+They helped mom clean up the mess and put the eraser in a safe place. They learned their lesson and decided to be more careful and kind when they drew with crayons. They also learned to appreciate their new eraser and use it wisely.
+Ben loved beans. He ate beans every day for lunch. He liked red beans, green beans, black beans, and white beans. He liked beans with cheese, beans with rice, beans with bread, and beans with eggs. He had a big jar of beans in his room. He was very happy with his beans.
+
+One day, Ben's mom said they had to go to the store. She said they needed more milk, more eggs, more cheese, and more bread. Ben did not want to go. He wanted to stay with his beans. He worried that someone might take his beans. He worried that his beans might get lonely. He worried that his beans might get cold. He did not want to leave his beans.
+
+Ben's mom said they had to go. She said it would not take long. She said they would be back soon. She said no one would touch his beans. She said his beans would be fine. She said he could bring one bean with him. Ben thought for a moment. He looked at his jar of beans. He picked a brilliant bean. It was shiny and bright. It was his favorite bean. He put it in his pocket. He said goodbye to his other beans. He went with his mom to the store.
+
+At the store, Ben saw many things. He saw fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, breads, and cakes. He saw toys, books, clothes, and shoes. He saw people, carts, baskets, and bags. He saw a lot of things, but he did not see any beans. He felt sad. He missed his beans. He reached for his pocket. He wanted to hold his brilliant bean. He wanted to feel its smoothness. He wanted to see its sparkle. He wanted to tell it he loved it.
+
+But when he reached for his pocket, he felt nothing. His pocket was empty. His brilliant bean was gone. He panicked. He looked around. He searched the floor. He checked his other pocket. He asked his mom. He asked the people. He asked the cashier. He asked the manager. He asked everyone. No one had seen his brilliant bean. No one had found his brilliant bean. No one had his brilliant bean. Ben cried. He cried loud and hard. He cried for his brilliant bean. He cried for his other beans. He cried for his jar of beans. He cried for his lunch of beans. He cried and cried and cried. He was very unhappy without his beans.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play in the snow. They had a cabin in the woods where they stayed with their mom and dad every winter. The cabin was cozy and warm, and had a big fireplace and a lot of books and toys.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben decided to build a snowman outside. They put on their hats, scarves, gloves, and boots. They also wore their special snowsuits that their grandma had made for them. They were red and blue, with stars and stripes. Lily and Ben thought they were perfect for the snow.
+
+They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot, a hat, and some buttons for the snowman's face. They also gave him a scarf and a broom. They named him Frosty and said hello to him.
+
+"Hello, Frosty!" they said. "Do you like your scarf? It's very warm and soft."
+
+Frosty did not answer, but he smiled with his carrot nose.
+
+Lily and Ben were very happy with their snowman. They hugged him and took a picture with him. Then they heard their mom calling them from the cabin.
+
+"Come on, kids, it's time for hot chocolate and cookies!" she said.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the cabin, but they forgot to take their hats and scarves with them. They left them on the snowman.
+
+"Bye, Frosty!" they said. "We'll see you tomorrow!"
+
+Frosty waved his broom and said goodbye.
+
+That night, it snowed a lot. The wind blew hard and the snowflakes covered everything. Frosty was cold and lonely. He wished he had a friend to talk to. He looked at the cabin and saw the light and the smoke. He wondered what Lily and Ben were doing.
+
+He also noticed that he was wearing their hats and scarves. He felt bad for taking them. He decided to give them back in the morning.
+
+But when the morning came, Frosty was gone. The sun had melted him and all that was left were his hat, his scarf, his carrot, his buttons, and his broom. Lily and Ben were sad when they saw what had happened.
+
+"Where's Frosty?" they cried. "He was our friend!"
+
+They picked up their hats and scarves and hugged them. They also took the carrot, the buttons, and the broom. They wanted to remember Frosty.
+
+They went back to the cabin and told their mom and dad what had happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were sorry.
+
+"Don't be sad, kids," they said. "Frosty was a very nice snowman. He gave you back your hats and scarves. He was very kind and generous. He wanted you to be warm and happy."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and nodded. They realized that Frosty was a perfect friend. They thanked him in their hearts and hoped he would come back next winter.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play together. One day, they see a big bag of rice in the kitchen. They want to play with the rice. They open the bag and pour the rice on the floor. They make shapes and letters with the rice. They have fun.
+
+But then, Mom comes home. She sees the mess in the kitchen. She is very angry. She stares at Lily and Tom. She says, "What did you do? You wasted the rice! You made a big mess! You are in trouble!"
+
+Lily and Tom are scared. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play with the rice. We did not know it was bad. Please do not be mad at us."
+
+Mom is still angry, but she is also worried. She says, "Rice is not a toy. Rice is food. We need rice to eat. Some people do not have enough rice. You should not waste it. You should be thankful for it. And you should clean up your mess. Now, help me pick up the rice and put it back in the bag."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They are ashamed. They help Mom pick up the rice. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will not do it again. We will be good. We will be thankful for the rice. We love you, Mom."
+
+Mom hugs them. She says, "I love you, too. But next time, ask me before you play with something. And be careful with what you touch. OK?"
+
+Lily and Tom say, "OK, Mom." They learn their lesson. They are happy again.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a big wallet in his pocket. Tom had an idea.
+
+"Let's take his wallet and buy some candy," he whispered to Sam.
+
+Sam was scared. He knew that taking things was bad. He shook his head.
+
+"No, Tom, that is wrong. We should not steal. He worked hard for his money. How would you feel if someone took your toys?"
+
+Tom did not listen. He was greedy. He waited until the man was not alert. He ran to the bench and grabbed the wallet. He ran away with a smile.
+
+But the man saw him. He was angry. He shouted and chased Tom. Tom was scared. He dropped the wallet and ran faster. He tripped and fell. He hurt his knee. He cried.
+
+Sam ran to help him. He was sorry for his friend. He gave him a hug.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" he asked.
+
+Tom nodded. He was ashamed. He realized that he did a bad thing. He looked at the man. The man picked up his wallet and walked to them. He was not angry anymore. He was kind.
+
+"I'm sorry, sir," Tom said. "I was wrong. I should not have taken your wallet. Please forgive me."
+
+The man smiled. He forgave Tom. He gave him a candy.
+
+"Thank you, sir," Tom said. "You are nice. I learned my lesson. I will not steal again. I will enjoy what I have and share with others."
+
+Sam was happy. He was proud of his friend. He thanked the man too. He gave Tom another hug.
+
+"Let's go play, Tom," he said. "We can have fun without taking things. We can be good friends."
+
+Tom agreed. He was happy too. He learned that stealing is bad and sharing is good. He enjoyed playing with Sam. He was a better person.
+Lily liked to grow things. She had a small garden with flowers and carrots and beans. She watered them every day and watched them get bigger and bigger. She was proud of her garden.
+
+One day, she saw a shiny buckle in the dirt. She picked it up and looked at it. It was silver and had a star on it. She wondered who it belonged to. Maybe it was a cowboy's buckle, she thought. She put it in her pocket and went to show her mom.
+
+"Look, mom, what I found in the garden!" she said, holding out the buckle.
+
+"Wow, that's a pretty buckle, Lily. Where did you find it?" her mom asked.
+
+"In the dirt, near the beans. Can I keep it?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can keep it. But maybe you should wash it first. It's a bit dirty," her mom said.
+
+"Okay, I'll wash it. Can I wear it?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, you can wear it. But you'll need a belt to put it on. Do you have a belt?" her mom asked.
+
+Lily shook her head. She didn't have a belt. She only had a long ribbon that she sometimes used to tie her hair.
+
+"Can I use this?" she asked, holding up the ribbon.
+
+"Sure, you can use that. It might be a bit loose, but you can try," her mom said.
+
+Lily ran to her room and put the ribbon around her waist. She fastened the buckle on the ribbon and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled. She looked like a cowboy. She decided to go outside and play.
+
+She put on her hat and boots and grabbed her toy horse. She ran to the garden and pretended to ride her horse. She said, "Yee-haw! I'm a cowboy!"
+
+She had fun playing in the garden. She didn't notice that the ribbon was getting loose. She didn't notice that the buckle was sliding down. She didn't notice that the buckle was about to fall off.
+
+She was too busy having fun. Until she heard a loud clink. She looked down and saw the buckle on the ground. She gasped. She had lost her buckle. She felt sad. She bent down to pick it up.
+
+But before she could, she saw something else. Something green and curly and long. Something that looked like a bean. A very big bean. A bean that had grown around her buckle.
+
+She blinked. She couldn't believe it. She reached out and touched the bean. It was real. It was a buckle bean.
+
+She smiled. She had grown a buckle bean. She felt happy. She picked up the bean and the buckle and ran to show her mom.
+
+"Look, mom, what I grew in the garden!" she said, holding out the bean and the buckle.
+
+"Wow, that's amazing, Lily. You grew a buckle bean. How did you do that?" her mom asked.
+
+"I don't know. I just planted the buckle and watered it and it grew," Lily said.
+
+"That's very cool, Lily. You have a magic garden. And a magic buckle. You can keep both of them. But maybe you should find a better belt," her mom said.
+
+"Okay, I'll find a better belt. But can I wear the buckle bean?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can wear the buckle bean. It's very pretty. And very unique. Just like you," her mom said.
+
+Lily hugged her mom and thanked her. She put the buckle bean around her neck and wore it like a necklace. She felt proud of her buckle bean. She felt proud of her garden. She felt proud of herself.
+
+She was a cowboy. And a gardener. And a buckle bean grower. She was Lily. And she liked to grow things.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign has a picture of a dog. The sign says: "Lost dog. His name is Spot. He is black and white. If you find him, please call this number. There is a reward."
+
+Lily and Ben love dogs. They want to help. They look around the park. They see a black and white dog under a tree. He looks sad and scared. Lily and Ben go to the dog. They talk to him softly.
+
+"Hello, dog. Are you Spot? We saw your sign. Your family is looking for you. Don't be afraid. We are your friends."
+
+The dog wags his tail. He likes Lily and Ben. He lets them pet him. They put a leash on him. They call the number on the sign. A lady answers. She is very happy. She says she is Spot's mom. She says she will come to the park right away.
+
+Lily and Ben wait with Spot. They play with him. They give him water and a biscuit. Soon, they see a car. The lady gets out. She runs to Spot. She hugs him. She cries. She is so glad to see him.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she says to Lily and Ben. "You are very kind and brave. You found my Spot. He is my best friend. I was so worried. How can I thank you?"
+
+She gives them a big reward. She gives them money and a box of chocolates. She also gives them a lovely card. The card says: "You are heroes. You made me and Spot very happy. We will never forget you. Love, Spot's mom."
+
+Lily and Ben are very happy. They thank the lady and Spot. They share the chocolates. They feel good. They did a good thing. They smile and hug. They are the best friends.
+Lila liked to eat avocado toast for breakfast. She liked how the green avocado was soft and creamy on the crunchy bread. She also liked to put some cheese on top and watch it melt in the toaster oven.
+
+One morning, Lila went to the kitchen to make her avocado toast. She saw that there was only one avocado left in the fruit bowl. She was nervous that someone else might take it. She quickly grabbed the avocado and cut it open with a knife. She was happy to see that it was ripe and not brown inside.
+
+She scooped out the avocado and mashed it with a fork. She spread it on two slices of bread and sprinkled some cheese on top. She put them in the toaster oven and set the timer. She waited for the cheese to melt and the bread to toast.
+
+She heard a voice behind her. It was her brother, Leo. He said, "Hey, Lila, can I have some avocado toast too? I'm hungry."
+
+Lila turned around and saw Leo looking at her with big eyes. She felt a pang of guilt. She knew that Leo liked avocado toast too. She also knew that there was no more avocado left. She didn't want to share her toast, but she also didn't want to be mean to her brother.
+
+She thought for a moment. Then she said, "OK, Leo, you can have one slice of my toast. But only one, OK? And you have to say thank you."
+
+Leo smiled and said, "Thank you, Lila. You're the best sister ever."
+
+Lila smiled back and said, "You're welcome, Leo. You're the best brother ever."
+
+They hugged and waited for the toaster oven to beep. Then they took out their avocado toast and ate it together. They both agreed that it was delicious and that sharing was nice.
+Mia likes to play with her paints. She makes red and blue and yellow pictures on the paper. She also makes some paint on her fingers and her face. She thinks it is funny.
+
+But when she is done, she has to wash the paint off. Mommy says, "Mia, come here. Let me help you wash your fingers and your face. You are very messy."
+
+Mia says, "No, Mommy. I like the paint. It is pretty."
+
+Mommy says, "But the paint is not good for your skin. It can make you itch or hurt. And you have to be clean for dinner. Come on, it will be quick."
+
+Mommy takes Mia to the sink and turns on the water. She puts some soap on a cloth and gently rubs Mia's fingers and face. Mia feels the water and the soap tickle her skin. She giggles and says, "That tickles, Mommy."
+
+Mommy says, "See, it is not so bad. You are almost done. Now rinse off the soap and dry yourself with the towel."
+
+Mia does as Mommy says. She looks at her fingers and her face in the mirror. They are clean and shiny. She says, "Wow, Mommy. I look perfect."
+
+Mommy says, "You always look perfect, Mia. But now you look even more perfect. And you smell nice too. I love you, Mia."
+
+Mia says, "I love you too, Mommy. Thank you for helping me wash."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe there is a treasure or a fairy in there!"
+
+Lily was not sure. She remembered what her mom told her. "Don't go near the old tree, Lily. It is dangerous. There might be a witch living in there. She is mean and scary. She can turn you into a frog or a mouse."
+
+Lily told Ben what her mom said. "Ben, we can't go there. There is a witch in the tree. She is mean and scary. She can turn us into frogs or mice."
+
+Ben did not believe Lily. He thought her mom was joking. He wanted to see the tree. He said, "Lily, there is no witch in the tree. Your mom was just trying to scare you. Come on, it will be fun. I will go first and show you."
+
+Ben ran to the tree and looked inside the hole. He saw something soft and black. He thought it was a toy or a blanket. He reached his hand to touch it. He heard a loud hiss and a scratch. He felt a pain in his finger. He pulled his hand back and saw blood. He screamed and ran away from the tree.
+
+Lily ran to Ben and saw his finger. She was scared and sorry. She said, "Ben, are you okay? What happened? Did the witch hurt you?"
+
+Ben was crying and shaking. He said, "Lily, you were right. There is a witch in the tree. She is mean and scary. She has a soft and black cat. The cat bit me and scratched me. It hurt a lot. Let's go home and tell mom."
+
+Lily and Ben ran home and told their mom what happened. Their mom cleaned Ben's finger and put a band-aid on it. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I hope you feel better soon. Lily, thank you for listening to me and trying to stop Ben. You are a good sister. Next time, don't go near the old tree. There is a witch living in there. She is mean and scary. She can turn you into a frog or a mouse."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We won't go near the old tree again. We don't like the witch. She is mean and scary. We like the park. It is fun and safe."
+Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they saw a big jet in the sky. It was shiny and fast.
+
+"Wow, look at that jet!" Tom said. "It is so cool. I want to fly in a jet one day."
+
+"Me too," Lila said. "Maybe we can be pilots when we grow up. Pilots are successful and brave."
+
+They pretended to be pilots and made zooming noises with their mouths. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Lila's mom came and said it was time to go home. Lila was sad. She did not want to leave Tom.
+
+"Bye, Tom," she said. "Can we play again tomorrow?"
+
+"Sure, Lila," Tom said. "I will miss you. Have a good night."
+
+Lila hugged Tom and waved goodbye. She got in the car with her mom. But on the way home, they got stuck in traffic. There were too many cars and honking horns. Lila felt bored and tired. She wished she was still with Tom.
+
+She looked out the window and saw the jet again. It was flying high and far away. She wondered where it was going and who was inside.
+
+She sighed and said, "Mom, I want to be a pilot."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You can be anything you want, Lila. But first, you have to sleep and dream. Maybe you will see the jet in your dreams."
+
+Lila nodded and closed her eyes. She hoped to see the jet and Tom in her dreams. She did not want to suffer anymore. She wanted to be happy and successful.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to hop on the grass and zoom on the slide. They saw a big dog with a ball in his mouth. The dog was wagging his tail and looked friendly.
+
+"Can we play with the dog?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"OK, but be careful. He might bite," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the dog and said hello. The dog barked and dropped the ball. Tom picked up the ball and threw it. The dog ran after it and brought it back. They played catch for a while and had fun.
+
+Then Tom had a foolish idea. He wanted to hop on the dog's back and zoom like a horse. He waited for the dog to drop the ball and then jumped on him. The dog was surprised and angry. He shook Tom off and growled. Tom fell on the ground and hurt his knee. He cried and said sorry.
+
+Lily ran to Tom and helped him up. She was scared and sad. She hugged Tom and said, "That was a foolish thing to do. The dog is not a toy. He is a living thing. You should be kind to him."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "You are right. I was foolish. I hope the dog is not mad at me."
+
+They looked at the dog and saw him licking his ball. He seemed to forgive them. They waved at him and said goodbye. They went back to their mom and dad and told them what happened. They learned a lesson and promised to be more respectful to animals.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over them. Lila has a doll that she loves. Ben has a car that he loves. One day, they want to play with each other's toys.
+
+"Can I play with your doll?" Ben asks Lila.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lila says. "You have your car."
+
+"But I want to play with your doll. It has a pretty dress and hair. My car is boring." Ben says.
+
+"No, you can't. You will break it or make it dirty." Lila says. She hugs her doll.
+
+Ben gets angry. He grabs Lila's doll and runs away. Lila cries and chases him.
+
+"Give it back! Give it back!" Lila shouts.
+
+Ben runs to the other side of the room. He shows Lila his tongue. He is very rude.
+
+"Ha ha, I have your doll. You can't catch me." Ben says.
+
+Lila is very sad. She thinks Ben is spoiled. He does not share or care. She wishes he would be nice.
+
+Mama hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees Ben and Lila. She is not happy.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mama asks.
+
+"Ben took my doll. He won't give it back. He is spoiled." Lila says.
+
+"Is that true, Ben?" Mama asks.
+
+Ben looks down. He feels bad. He knows he did wrong.
+
+"Yes, Mama. I'm sorry. I was mean." Ben says.
+
+He gives the doll back to Lila. He says sorry to her too.
+
+Lila smiles. She is glad to have her doll back. She is not mad at Ben anymore.

+
+One day, they played a game with peanuts. They had to toss the peanuts into a cup. Lily said, "I go first. I am better than you." She threw a peanut, but it missed the cup. She threw another one, but it missed again.
+
+Sam said, "My turn. You are not better than me." He threw a peanut, and it landed in the cup. He threw another one, and it landed too. He smiled and said, "I win. You lose."
+
+Lily was angry. She said, "No, you don't win. You cheated. You moved the cup closer." She grabbed the cup and the peanuts and ran away.
+
+Sam was sad. He said, "I didn't cheat. You are not fair. You are a bad friend." He ran after her and tried to get the cup and the peanuts back.
+
+They ran and ran, until they saw a big dog. The dog barked and chased them. They were scared and dropped the cup and the peanuts. The dog ate the peanuts and ran away with the cup.

+But then, something bad happened. Lila's dress got stuck on a nail on the wall. She tried to pull it, but it ripped. She cried and cried. She said her dress was ruined and she didn't look pretty anymore.
+
+Ben saw Lila crying. He felt sad too. He wanted to help her. He ran to his room and found his favorite shirt. It was blue and had a dinosaur on it. He gave it to Lila and said she could wear it. He said she would look very fit and cool.
+
+Lila smiled and wiped her tears. She thanked Ben and put on his shirt. It was big and loose, but she didn't mind. She said she liked it and it was very nice of him. She gave him a big squeeze and a kiss on the cheek.
+
+They went back to the party and everyone cheered. They said Lila and Ben were the best couple ever. They said they were very sweet and kind. They said they were happy for their marriage.

+
+"Yuck!" Lily said. "Who did that? That is so rude!"
+
+Max agreed. He did not want to go on the slide anymore. He wanted to restore the slide to how it was before. He looked around and saw a bucket and a hose near the flowers. He had an idea.
+
+"Come on, Lily," he said. "Let's clean the slide. We can use the water and the bucket."
