They saw the red mark on his hand and knew he was stung by the jellyfish. They took him out of the water and put some cream on his hand. They hugged him and told him he was brave. But they also told him he was naughty and should have listened to them. They said jellyfish are not toys and can be dangerous. + +Ben felt sorry and said he was sorry. He learned his lesson and promised to be more careful and obedient. He realized that being independent does not mean doing whatever he wants. He still liked to swim in the sea, but he always stayed close to his mom and dad. He also learned to respect the jellyfish and other animals in the sea. He understood that they have their own lives and feelings and should not be bothered. He became a smarter and kinder boy. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog had brown fur and a long tail. It looked friendly and happy. + +"Can we pet the dog, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be gentle and ask the owner first," Mom said. + +Ben and Mia ran to the dog and its owner, a lady with a hat. "Hello, can we pet your dog?" Mia asked. + +"Of course, his name is Max. He loves children," the lady said. + +Ben and Mia stroked Max's fur and scratched his ears. Max wagged his tail and licked their faces. Ben and Mia giggled. + +"Wow, he is so soft and warm," Ben said. + +"He is so cute and funny," Mia said. + +They played with Max for a while, until they noticed something strange. Max had only three legs. One of his back legs was missing. + +"Where is his leg?" Ben asked. + +The lady with the hat sighed. "He lost it in an accident. He was hit by a car when he was a puppy. He was very hurt and sad. But he was also very brave and persistent. He learned to walk and run again with only three legs. He never gave up. He is a very special dog." + +Ben and Mia gazed at Max with wonder and admiration. They felt sorry for him, but also proud of him. They hugged him and told him he was a good boy. + +"Max, you are amazing. You are strong and happy. You are our friend," Ben said. + +"Max, you are awesome. You are smart and kind. You are our hero," Mia said. + +Max barked and wagged his tail. He was glad to have such nice friends. He gazed at Ben and Mia with love and gratitude. + +Mom smiled and said, "You see, children, sometimes life is hard and unfair. But you can always overcome your challenges with courage and persistence. Just like Max. He is a great example for all of us." + +Ben and Mia nodded and agreed. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They thanked the lady and Max for their time and said goodbye. They went home with Mom, feeling happy and inspired. They never forgot Max and his story. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big yellow butterfly and followed it. The butterfly flew over the fence and into the woods. + +"Let's go see where it goes," Ben said. He climbed over the fence and Lily followed him. They ran after the butterfly, but they lost it among the trees. They saw many other things in the woods: a red bird, a brown rabbit, a green frog. They forgot about the butterfly. + +They came to a big rock. On the rock, there was a white egg. It was bigger than Lily's hand. It had black spots on it. + +"Wow, look at that egg!" Ben said. He reached out to touch it. + +"Wait, Ben, don't!" Lily said. She remembered what Mama had told her. "Some eggs are not harmless. They belong to animals that can hurt you. You have to be careful." + +Ben stopped. He looked at the egg. He wondered what animal it came from. He thought it might be a snake or a lizard or a dinosaur. He felt scared. + +"Let's go back, Lily," he said. He took her hand and they ran away from the rock. They found the fence and climbed over it. They went back to the garden. They were happy to see Mama. + +"Mama, we saw a big egg in the woods!" Lily said. + +"Did you touch it?" Mama asked. + +"No, we remembered what you said. We came back," Ben said. + +Mama smiled. She hugged them. "You are very smart and brave," she said. "But next time, don't go into the woods without me. There are many things in the woods that are not harmless. You have to be safe." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They agreed. They liked the garden better than the woods. They played with their toys and forgot about the egg. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a blue key on the grass. They wonder what it is for. + +"Maybe it is a magic key," Lily says. "Maybe it can open a door to a fairy land." + +"Or maybe it is a secret key," Ben says. "Maybe it can unlock a treasure chest full of toys and candy." + +They decide to look for a door or a chest that matches the key. They run around the park, trying different locks and knobs. But none of them fit the key. + +They are sad and tired. They sit on a bench and look at the key. + +"Maybe we should give it back," Lily says. "Maybe someone is looking for it." + +"Who do you think it belongs to?" Ben asks. + +Just then, they see a man walking towards them. He has a blue hat and a blue shirt. He looks worried. + +"Excuse me, kids," he says. "Have you seen a blue key? I dropped it somewhere. It is very important. It is the key to my car." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They smile and hold out the key. + +"Is this your key?" they ask. + +The man is very happy. He takes the key and thanks them. + +"Yes, this is my key. Thank you so much. You are very kind and helpful. You saved my day." + +He gives them each a hug and a candy. Then he goes to his car and drives away. + +Lily and Ben are glad. They did a good thing. They share the candy and play some more. They are still friends. +Sara and Ben love to go to the zoo. They like to see all the different animals and learn their names. Sara's favorite animal is the zebra. She thinks they are fair, because they have black and white stripes. Ben's favorite animal is the cheetah. He thinks they are cool, because they can speed very fast. + +One day, they go to the zoo with their mom and dad. They see the lions, the monkeys, the elephants, and the giraffes. Then they come to the zebra enclosure. Sara is very happy. She runs to the fence and waves at the zebras. "Hello, zebras!" she says. "You are so fair and pretty!" + +Ben is not so interested. He looks around and sees the cheetah enclosure next to the zebra enclosure. He runs to the fence and looks at the cheetahs. "Hello, cheetahs!" he says. "You are so cool and fast!" + +Suddenly, he hears a loud noise. He turns around and sees a zebra running away from the fence. He sees a hole in the fence. He sees a cheetah running after the zebra. He sees the zebra and the cheetah speed across the zoo. He sees the people scream and run. He sees his mom and dad grab him and Sara and run to the exit. + +Sara is very scared. She cries and hugs her mom. "Mom, what happened?" she asks. "Why did the cheetah chase the zebra?" + +Mom tries to calm her down. "It's okay, Sara," she says. "The cheetah and the zebra are not friends. The cheetah wanted to catch the zebra and eat it. That's why the zebra ran away. But don't worry, the zookeepers will catch the cheetah and fix the fence. The zebra will be safe." + +Sara feels sad for the zebra. She thinks it is not fair that the cheetah wanted to eat it. She thinks the zebra and the cheetah should be friends. She thinks the zoo should be a happy place for all the animals. + +Ben feels excited. He thinks it was cool to see the cheetah and the zebra speed. He thinks the cheetah and the zebra are brave. He thinks the zoo is a fun place for all the animals. + +He looks at Sara and says, "Don't cry, Sara. The zebra is okay. The cheetah is okay. They are just playing a game. Maybe next time we can play with them too." +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they have many toys on the floor. They want to sort them by color. + +"Look, I have a red firework!" Tim says. He holds a toy firework that makes noise and sparkles. + +"Wow, that is fun!" Mia says. She has a blue firework. She presses a button and it lights up. + +They put their fireworks in a pile with other red and blue toys. They find more toys of different colors and sort them too. + +But then, they hear a knock on the door. It is Lily, the nosy girl from next door. She always wants to see what they are doing. + +"Hi, Tim and Mia! What are you playing?" Lily asks. She pushes the door open and walks in. + +"Hi, Lily. We are sorting toys by color," Mia says. + +"Can I play too?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, you can help us," Tim says. + +But Lily does not want to help. She wants to play with the fireworks. She grabs Tim's red firework and runs to the window. + +"Hey, give that back!" Tim shouts. He runs after her. + +Lily opens the window and throws the firework outside. It makes a loud bang and a bright flash. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily says. She laughs. + +Tim and Mia are not happy. They are scared and angry. They look outside and see smoke and fire. + +"Uh-oh, that is bad!" Mia says. + +They hear sirens and see a fire truck. The firemen come and put out the fire. + +Lily is in trouble. She has to say sorry to Tim and Mia and their parents. She has to pay for the firework and the damage. + +Tim and Mia do not want to play with Lily anymore. She is too nosy and naughty. They finish sorting their toys and play with them nicely. They do not like fireworks anymore. They like quiet and safe toys. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big box of bricks, a ball, a doll and a pig. The pig was not a real pig, but a toy pig that could make noises when you pressed its belly. Ben and Lily liked the pig very much and took turns to press its belly and hear it oink. + +But then, a naughty cat came into the garden. The cat saw the pig and wanted to play with it too. The cat jumped on the box of bricks and knocked it over. Then it grabbed the pig with its teeth and ran away. Ben and Lily saw the cat and shouted. + +"Hey, cat, give us back our pig!" Ben yelled. + +"Meow, meow, meow!" the cat answered and ran faster. + +Ben and Lily chased the cat, but the cat was too quick. It ran across the road and into the woods. Ben and Lily stopped at the road and looked sad. They had lost their pig. + +"Mom, mom, the cat took our pig!" Lily cried. + +Mom came out of the house and saw what had happened. She hugged Ben and Lily and said. + +"Don't worry, my loves, we will find your pig. Come on, let's go to the woods and look for it." + +Mom, Ben and Lily went to the woods and followed the cat's tracks. They searched for a long time, but they could not find the cat or the pig. They were about to give up, when they heard a familiar sound. + +"Oink, oink, oink!" + +They followed the sound and found the pig. It was lying on a pile of leaves, with a big hole in its belly. The cat had bitten the pig and broken its noise-maker. The pig was not oinking, but squeaking. + +"Oh, no, our pig is broken!" Ben said. + +"Can we fix it, mom?" Lily asked. + +Mom looked at the pig and smiled. + +"Of course we can, my loves. We can restore it. We just need some glue and some tape and some love. Come on, let's take it home and make it better." + +Mom, Ben and Lily took the pig home and restored it. They glued the hole in its belly and taped the noise-maker. Then they hugged the pig and kissed it. The pig was happy and oinked again. + +"Thank you, mom, you are the best!" Ben and Lily said. + +"You are welcome, my loves. And thank you for being so brave and kind. You are the best too!" Mom said. + +They played with the pig and the other toys and had a lot of fun. The naughty cat never came back to the garden. The end. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck that made loud noises. Lily had a soft doll that she liked to hug. They were having fun until Ben saw Lily's doll. + +"Your toy is different," Ben said. "It is not a real toy. It is just a baby thing." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She loved her doll. It was her favorite toy. She did not like Ben's truck. It was too noisy and scary. + +"My toy is a real toy," Lily said. "It is better than your toy. Your toy is just a silly thing." + +Ben felt mad and hurt. He loved his truck. It was his favorite toy. He did not like Lily's doll. It was too soft and boring. + +"No, my toy is better than your toy," Ben said. "Your toy is just a rag. My toy can do many things." + +They started to argue and shout. They did not want to share their toys. They did not want to play together. + +"Fine, then," Ben said. "I dare you to play with my toy. I bet you can't make it go fast and loud." + +"Fine, then," Lily said. "I dare you to play with my toy. I bet you can't make it talk and smile." + +They swapped their toys and tried to play with them. But they did not have fun. They did not know how to play with the different toys. They felt frustrated and unhappy. + +They looked at each other and realized they had made a mistake. They missed their own toys. They missed their friend. + +"Ben, I'm sorry," Lily said. "I don't like your toy, but I like you. Can we be friends again?" + +"Lily, I'm sorry, too," Ben said. "I don't like your toy, but I like you. Can we be friends again?" + +They hugged and said sorry. They gave back their toys and smiled. They decided to play together with both toys. They learned to respect and enjoy their differences. They had fun. +Anna liked to play in the garden with her shovel and bucket. She liked to dig holes and fill them with sand and stones. She liked to find bugs and worms and look at them. She did not like spiders. She thought they were scary and dangerous. She always ran away when she saw one. + +One day, she was digging a big hole near the fence. She wanted to make a castle with her bucket. She saw something shiny and black in the sand. She thought it was a stone. She picked it up and put it in her bucket. She did not know it was a spider. + +The spider was angry and scared. It did not like to be in the bucket. It wanted to get out. It crawled up the side of the bucket and jumped on Anna's hand. Anna screamed and dropped the bucket. The spider fell on the ground. + +"Anna, what's wrong?" her mom asked. She came running from the house. She saw the spider on the ground. She knew it was dangerous. She grabbed a stick and hit the spider. She killed it. + +"Mom, mom, it was a spider!" Anna cried. She hugged her mom. She was shaking and crying. + +"I know, honey, I know. It's okay. You're safe. The spider is gone. It can't hurt you anymore." her mom said. She kissed Anna's hand. She checked it for bites. There were none. + +"Can we bury the spider, mom?" Anna asked. She did not want to see it anymore. + +"Sure, honey, we can bury the spider. Let's find a spot for it." her mom said. She picked up the shovel and the bucket. She found a spot near the fence. She dug a small hole. She put the spider in the hole. She covered it with sand. + +"Bye, bye, spider. You were dangerous. You scared me. You can't scare me anymore." Anna said. She patted the sand. She felt better. + +"Good job, Anna. You were brave. You faced your fear. You buried the spider." her mom said. She hugged Anna. She smiled. + +"Can we make a castle now, mom?" Anna asked. She wanted to play. + +"Of course, honey, we can make a castle. Let's have some fun." her mom said. She filled the bucket with sand. She turned it over. She made a castle. + +Anna and her mom played in the garden. They made more castles. They had fun. They did not see any more spiders. They were happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big stick of wood. It is brown and hard. + +"Look, a stick!" Tom says. "We can use it for many things." + +"Like what?" Sue asks. + +"Like a sword, or a wand, or a drumstick," Tom says. He picks up the stick and swings it in the air. + +Sue laughs. She takes the stick from Tom and taps it on the ground. "Or a cane, or a flute, or a pointer," she says. + +They take turns with the stick and pretend to be different things. They have fun. + +Then they see a man walking by. He is bald. He has no hair on his head. He looks sad. + +"Hello, mister," Tom says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The man stops and smiles. He bends down and says, "Hello, kids. What are you playing with?" + +"A stick of wood," Sue says. "It is very useful." + +The man nods. He takes the stick and rubs it on his head. He makes a funny face. + +"Maybe this stick can make my hair grow," he says. + +Tom and Sue giggle. They think the man is funny. + +"Maybe it can," Tom says. "Or maybe it can make you happy." + +The man laughs. He gives the stick back to Tom and says, "Thank you, kids. You made me happy. You are very kind." + +He waves and walks away. + +Tom and Sue wave back. They hug the stick and each other. + +They are happy too. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with Spot, the dog. Spot is a big, brown dog. He can run fast and catch balls. + +One day, Tom and Sam go to the park with Spot. They see a big hill. They want to race to the top. + +"Let's see who is faster, me or you!" Tom says. + +"OK, but Spot can join too!" Sam says. + +They get ready to run. They say "go!" and start to run up the hill. Spot runs with them. He is very competitive. He wants to win. + +Tom and Sam run as fast as they can. They are both strong and brave. But Spot is stronger and braver. He runs faster than them. He reaches the top first. He barks and wags his tail. + +"Wow, Spot, you are the best!" Tom says. + +"Good boy, Spot, you are amazing!" Sam says. + +They hug and pet Spot. They are not sad or angry. They are happy and proud of Spot. They love Spot. + +They sit on the top of the hill and look at the sky. They see birds and clouds. They feel the sun and the wind. They share a snack and a drink. They talk and laugh. They have fun. + +They are friends. They are happy. +Jen and Ben were twins who liked to play with water. They had a big spray bottle that they filled with water and ran around the garden. They sprayed each other, the flowers, the dog and the cat. They laughed and had fun. + +But one day, the wind was very strong. It blew the spray bottle out of Jen's hand and into the air. Jen and Ben watched as the bottle flew away, over the fence and into the street. They were sad and scared. They wanted their spray bottle back. + +They ran to the fence and tried to climb over. But the fence was too high and sharp. They hurt their hands and feet. They cried and shouted for help. But no one heard them. The wind was too loud. + +The spray bottle landed on the road, where a big truck was driving. The truck did not see the bottle and ran over it. The bottle broke into pieces and water spilled everywhere. The truck driver did not know what happened and kept driving. + +Jen and Ben saw their spray bottle smashed and wet. They felt very bad. They had lost their favorite toy and hurt themselves. They wished they had not played with the spray bottle on a windy day. They learned a hard lesson. +Lily and Tom were happy. They had a picnic in the park. They had bread and cheese and apples and juice. They sat on a big blanket and ate and talked. + +"Look, Tom, a duck!" Lily said. She pointed to a pond. A duck was swimming in the water. It had brown and white feathers and a yellow beak. + +"Let's go and see the duck, Lily," Tom said. He took Lily's hand and they ran to the pond. They threw some bread to the duck. The duck came closer and ate the bread. It quacked and wagged its tail. + +Lily and Tom laughed. They liked the duck. They wanted to play with it. But then they saw something else. It was a big dog. It had black and white fur and a red collar. It looked angry. It barked and ran to the pond. + +"Go away, dog!" Lily shouted. She was scared. The dog wanted the bread and the duck. It jumped into the water and chased the duck. The duck was scared too. It quacked and swam away. + +Lily and Tom ran back to the blanket. They grabbed their picnic and their things. They looked for a safe place. They saw a small house. It had a door and a window and a roof. It looked old and ugly. But it looked safe. + +"Let's go in there, Tom," Lily said. They ran to the house. They opened the door and went inside. They closed the door and locked it. They hoped the dog would not find them. + +They put their picnic on the floor. They looked around. The house was dark and dirty. There were spiders and cobwebs and dust. There was a table and a chair and a bed. There was a picture on the wall. It was a picture of a man and a woman. They looked old and ugly too. + +"Who are they, Lily?" Tom asked. He pointed to the picture. + +"I don't know, Tom," Lily said. She shrugged. "Maybe they lived here a long time ago. Maybe they liked the duck too." + +They ate their picnic. They shared it with the duck. The duck had followed them to the house. It had found a hole in the wall. It came inside and quacked. It was happy to be with Lily and Tom. + +They were happy too. They forgot about the dog and the ugly house. They had a picnic and a friend. They smiled and hugged the duck. They were safe and warm. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toy cars and trucks. One day, they went to the park with their mom. Mom said, "Stay close to me and don't go too far." Tim and Sam nodded, but they were impatient. They wanted to explore and have fun. + +They saw a big hill with a slide. They ran to the hill and climbed up. They took turns sliding down. They laughed and shouted. They forgot about their mom and the toy cars and trucks they left on the bench. + +Mom looked for them. She saw the toy cars and trucks, but not Tim and Sam. She was worried. She called their names, but they did not hear her. She asked other people, but they did not see them. She was scared. + +Tim and Sam slid down the hill one more time. They saw a big dog at the bottom. The dog was angry. It barked and growled. It showed its teeth. Tim and Sam were afraid. They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It bit them. They cried and screamed. + +Mom heard them. She ran to the hill. She saw the dog and her boys. She was sad and angry. She shooed the dog away. She hugged Tim and Sam. They were hurt and bleeding. She said, "Why did you forget me? Why did you go too far? I told you to stay close to me." Tim and Sam said, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play. We did not mean to forget you." Mom said, "You were very bad. You made me worry. You made the dog hurt you. Now we have to go to the doctor." Tim and Sam said, "We don't want to go to the doctor. We are scared." Mom said, "You have to go. You have to learn your lesson. Maybe next time you will listen to me." Tim and Sam said, "We will, Mom. We will." But they were not sure. They wished they had not forgotten their mom. They wished they had not gone too far. They wished they had not met the dog. They wished they could play with their toy cars and trucks again. But it was too late. +One day, a bad man came to the park. He had a cane and he walked very slow. He saw some kids playing with a ball. He wanted the ball for himself. He set his cane on the ground and ran to the kids. He took the ball and laughed. + +The kids were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They ran after the bad man. The bad man saw them and tried to run away. But he forgot his cane. He tripped and fell on the grass. The ball rolled out of his hands. + +The kids got their ball back. They were happy and cheered. They saw the cane on the ground. They picked it up and gave it to the bad man. They said, "Here is your cane. Don't take our ball again. That is not nice." + +The bad man felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. I was wrong. I should not have taken your ball. Thank you for giving me my cane. You are very kind." He took his cane and walked away. He learned a lesson. He decided to be nice from then on. +Lily and Max liked to play chess with their dad. Chess was a game with black and white pieces that moved on a board. Lily and Max learned how to move the pieces from their dad, who was very good at chess. Sometimes, they played together, and sometimes, they played with their dad. + +One day, they were playing chess with their dad in the living room, when the phone rang. Ring, ring, ring! It was a loud and funny sound. Lily and Max ran to the phone and picked it up. + +"Hello?" they said together. + +"Hi, Lily and Max, this is Aunt Lucy. How are you?" said a voice on the phone. + +Lily and Max liked Aunt Lucy. She was their dad's sister, and she was very nice and attractive. She had long hair and a pretty dress. She lived far away, but she sometimes visited them. + +"We are good, Aunt Lucy. We are playing chess with dad. Do you know chess?" they asked. + +"Yes, I know chess. I used to play chess with your dad when we were little. He always beat me, but I still had fun. Chess is a smart game. You have to think a lot," said Aunt Lucy. + +"Can you come and play chess with us, Aunt Lucy? We miss you," said Lily and Max. + +"I miss you too, Lily and Max. I wish I could come and play chess with you, but I can't right now. I have to work. But I will call you again soon, and maybe I can visit you next month. Would you like that?" said Aunt Lucy. + +"Yes, we would like that, Aunt Lucy. We love you," said Lily and Max. + +"I love you too, Lily and Max. Say hi to your dad for me. Bye-bye," said Aunt Lucy. + +Lily and Max hung up the phone and ran back to the living room. They told their dad that Aunt Lucy called and that she knew chess. Their dad smiled and hugged them. + +"That's great, Lily and Max. Aunt Lucy is very smart and kind. I'm glad you talked to her. Now, let's finish our chess game. Who's turn is it?" he asked. + +"It's my turn, dad. Watch out, I have a surprise for you," said Max, moving his piece. + +Lily and Max laughed and continued to play chess with their dad. They had a lot of fun. +Tommy liked to play with his mom's telephone. He liked to press the buttons and hear the sounds. He liked to see the pictures and the words on the screen. He liked to pretend he was talking to his friends or his grandma. + +One day, Tommy was playing with the telephone in his room. He saw a button that said "display". He wondered what it would do. He pressed it and the screen changed. It showed a lot of numbers and letters that he did not understand. He pressed it again and again, hoping to see something fun. + +But then he heard his mom's voice from downstairs. She sounded worried. She said, "Tommy, where are you? Have you seen my telephone? I need to call your dad. He is late and I am worried." + +Tommy felt scared. He knew he had done something bad. He hid the telephone under his pillow and ran to his mom. He said, "I am here, mom. I don't know where your telephone is. Maybe you left it in the car." + +His mom hugged him and said, "It's okay, sweetie. Let's go look for it together. Maybe it's in the kitchen or the living room." + +They searched all over the house, but they could not find the telephone. Tommy felt guilty and sad. He wanted to tell his mom the truth, but he was afraid of getting in trouble. + +Then they heard a loud noise from upstairs. It sounded like a siren. They ran to Tommy's room and saw the telephone on his bed. It was flashing and beeping. It said, "Emergency call. Displaying location to 911." + +Tommy's mom gasped and said, "Oh no, Tommy. What have you done?" She picked up the telephone and tried to explain to the operator that it was a mistake. She said, "I'm so sorry. My son was playing with the phone and he pressed the display button. He didn't mean to call 911. Please don't send anyone. We are fine." + +The operator said, "It's okay, ma'am. We understand. It happens sometimes. Just make sure to lock your phone or put it away from your child's reach. Have a nice day." + +Tommy's mom hung up the phone and looked at Tommy. She was angry and relieved at the same time. She said, "Tommy, you are in big trouble. You should never play with my phone without asking me. You could have caused a lot of problems. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again. I love you." + +His mom sighed and said, "I love you too, Tommy. But you have to be more careful and responsible. Now go to your time-out corner and think about what you did." + +Tommy went to his corner and felt sorry for himself. He learned his lesson. He decided he did not like the display button anymore. He wished he had played with his toys instead. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. They saw a big wall with many vines on it. The vines were green and had purple berries. + +"Let's paint the wall!" Lily said. She had a bucket of paint and a brush. She liked to paint things with bright colors. + +"OK!" Ben said. He had a bucket of paint and a brush too. He liked to paint things with funny shapes. + +They started to paint the wall with their paint. They painted the vines with red and yellow and blue. They painted the berries with pink and orange and green. They painted the wall with circles and stars and hearts. + +They were having fun. They did not see the man who lived in the house behind the wall. He was watching them from his window. He did not like what they were doing. He did not like the colors and the shapes. He did not like the vines and the berries. He did not like the children. + +He came out of his house. He was angry. He shouted at Lily and Ben. + +"Hey! What are you doing? Stop painting my wall! You are ruining it! Go away!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know the man. He was unknown to them. He was mean and loud. They dropped their paint and their brushes. They ran away from the wall. They ran back to their garden. + +They were sad. They liked their painting. They thought it was pretty and fun. They did not understand why the man was angry. They did not want to make him angry. They just wanted to play. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and dirty. It has a long tail and sharp teeth. + +"Look, a dog!" Tom says. "Let's pet it!" + +"No, Tom, don't!" Sue says. "The dog is dirty and scary. It might bite you!" + +But Tom does not listen. He runs to the dog. The dog sees Tom and barks. It does not like Tom. It jumps on Tom and knocks him down. Tom cries. + +"Help, help!" Tom shouts. "The dog is hurting me!" + +Sue is afraid. But she wants to help Tom. She runs to the bench. She sees a stick. She picks up the stick. She runs to the dog. She hits the dog with the stick. The dog yelps. It lets go of Tom. It runs away. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Sue asks. She helps Tom get up. + +"I'm sorry, Sue," Tom says. "You were right. The dog was dirty and scary. It bit me. Look, I have blood on my arm." + +Sue sees the blood. She feels sorry for Tom. She hugs him. + +"It's okay, Tom," Sue says. "We will find a grown-up. They will make you better. Come on, let's go." + +Tom and Sue hold hands. They run to the gate. They see a lady. She is wearing a blue dress and a hat. She has a kind face. + +"Excuse me, lady," Sue says. "Can you help us? My friend Tom was bitten by a dog. He needs a band-aid." + +The lady looks at Tom and Sue. She sees the blood on Tom's arm. She sees the dirt on their clothes. She sees the fear in their eyes. + +"Of course, I can help you," the lady says. "I'm a nurse. Come with me. I have a first-aid kit in my car. Don't worry, you'll be fine." + +Tom and Sue smile. They follow the lady. They wait for the band-aid. They feel safe. They are glad they have each other. They are brave friends. +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play together, but sometimes they fought. One day, they found a big box of toys in the attic. They wanted to share the toys, but they could not agree on who would get what. + +"I want the baby doll!" Lily said. "She has a pretty dress and a bottle." + +"No, I want the baby doll!" Tom said. "She can talk and laugh." + +They pulled the baby doll from each other, until they heard a loud rip. The baby doll's dress was torn, and her bottle fell on the floor. + +"Look what you did!" Lily cried. "You broke the baby doll!" + +"You did it!" Tom yelled. "You are a bad sister!" + +They were so angry, they did not see their mom coming up the stairs. She heard their shouting and saw the mess. + +"What is going on here?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over a toy?" + +Lily and Tom tried to explain, but they only blamed each other. Their mom shook her head. + +"You are both ignorant," she said. "You do not know how to share and be kind. You need to learn a lesson." + +She took the baby doll from them, and put it in a closet. She also took half of the other toys, and put them in a bag. + +"From now on, you will separate your toys," she said. "Lily, you will play with these toys, and Tom, you will play with these toys. You will not touch each other's toys, until you can say sorry and make up." + +Lily and Tom did not like this. They wanted to play with all the toys, and they wanted to play with each other. But they were too proud to say sorry. They went to their separate corners, and played with their separate toys. But they soon felt lonely and bored. They missed the baby doll, and they missed each other. They realized they had been silly and selfish. They decided to say sorry and make up. + +They hugged each other, and said, "I'm sorry, I love you." + +They went to their mom, and said, "We're sorry, we love you." + +Their mom smiled, and said, "I'm glad, I love you too." + +She opened the closet, and gave them back the baby doll. She also gave them back the other toys, and said, "You can play with all the toys, as long as you share and be kind. And you can play together, as long as you do not fight." + +Lily and Tom nodded, and thanked their mom. They took the baby doll, and fixed her dress. They gave her the bottle, and made her talk and laugh. They played with the other toys, and had fun. They learned their lesson, and never fought over a toy again. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with paper and crayons. They make pictures of animals and cars and houses. They want to make many pictures and give them to their moms and dads. + +They go to the store with Tim's mom. They see a big machine that can print many pictures very fast. It is called a mill. Tim and Sam want to use the mill to print their pictures. + +"Mom, can we use the mill?" Tim asks. + +"No, Tim, the mill is very expensive. It is not for kids. It is for people who work here. They print books and newspapers and flyers," Tim's mom says. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They want to print many pictures very fast. They think the mill is very cool. + +They go back to Tim's house. They see Tim's dad working on his computer. He has a small machine that can print pictures too. It is called a printer. + +"Dad, can we use your printer?" Tim asks. + +"Sure, Tim, you can use my printer. But you have to be careful. Don't use too much paper and ink. They are expensive too," Tim's dad says. + +Tim and Sam are happy. They use the printer to print their pictures. They print pictures of animals and cars and houses. They print many pictures and give them to their moms and dads. + +They say thank you to Tim's dad. They say the printer is very cool too. They are proud of their pictures. They are good friends. +Lily liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a purple cube. The cube had six sides, and each side had a different picture. Lily liked to look at the pictures and make sounds. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She brought her purple cube with her. She saw a boy playing with a ball. She wanted to play with the ball too. She asked the boy if she could have the ball. The boy said yes, but he wanted to have the cube. Lily agreed and gave him the cube. She took the ball and ran away. + +Lily had fun with the ball. She threw it, kicked it, and rolled it. But after a while, she missed her cube. She wanted to see the pictures and make sounds. She looked for the boy, but he was gone. He had left the park with the cube. Lily felt sad and angry. She cried and cried. + +Her mom came and hugged her. She asked her what was wrong. Lily told her what happened. Her mom said, "Lily, you made a bad choice. You should not trade your favorite toy for something you don't know. You should be careful with your things and share them nicely. Maybe the boy will return the cube, but maybe he won't. You have to learn from your mistake." + +Lily nodded and said sorry. She hoped the boy would return the cube, but she also learned a lesson. She decided to be more grateful for her toys and more friendly with other kids. She knew that toys are fun, but friends are better. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They like to make them go fast and make loud noises. Tom has a red car with a big motor. Lily has a yellow car with a small motor. + +"Look at my car, Lily. It is very fast and fierce. It can beat your car in a race," Tom says. + +"No, Tom. My car is faster and fiercer. It can go around the corners better. Let's have a race and see," Lily says. + +They agree to race from the tree to the fence and back. They put their cars on the ground and get ready to push them. + +"Ready, set, go!" Tom shouts. + +They push their cars as hard as they can. The cars zoom across the grass, making vroom-vroom sounds. Tom's car is ahead, but Lily's car is catching up. They reach the fence and turn around. + +"Come on, car. You can do it. You are the best," Lily thinks. + +She pushes her car harder. It gets closer and closer to Tom's car. They are almost at the tree. + +"Ha, ha. I am going to win. You are too slow, Lily," Tom thinks. + +He pushes his car harder. It goes faster and faster. But then, it hits a rock and flips over. + +"Oh, no. My car. It is broken," Tom cries. + +Lily's car passes Tom's car and reaches the tree. She wins the race. + +"Yay. I won. I won. My car is the fastest and fiercest," Lily cheers. + +She runs to Tom and hugs him. + +"Sorry, Tom. Are you okay? Do you want to play with my car?" she asks. + +Tom sniffles and nods. He hugs her back. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. Your car is very fast and fierce. But I still like my car, too. Maybe we can fix it together," he says. + +They smile and go to find some glue and tape. They are happy to play with their cars and each other. +Ben and Lily like to go to the gym with their mom. The gym has many fun things to play with. They have balls, mats, hoops, and ropes. Ben and Lily's favorite thing is the trampoline. They love to jump on it and make funny faces. + +One day, they go to the gym and see a big sign. The sign says: "Trampoline Contest Today. Win a Prize!" Ben and Lily are very excited. They want to join the contest and win a prize. They ask their mom if they can. + +"Sure, you can," their mom says. "But you have to follow the rules and be careful. The trampoline is not a toy. It is for exercise and fun." + +Ben and Lily nod and smile. They go to the trampoline and wait for their turn. There are many other kids who want to join the contest too. They watch them jump and do tricks. Some of them are very good. Ben and Lily feel a little nervous. + +Finally, it is their turn. They climb on the trampoline and start to jump. They jump high and low, fast and slow. They try to do some tricks too. They spin, twist, and flip. They have a lot of fun. They hear their mom and the other people clap and cheer for them. + +When they finish, they get off the trampoline and run to their mom. She hugs them and says: "You did great! I'm so proud of you!" + +Then, a man with a microphone comes to them. He says: "And the winners of the trampoline contest are... Ben and Lily! Congratulations! You get to choose a prize from this table!" + +Ben and Lily are very happy. They can't believe it. They look at the table and see many prizes. There are books, toys, stickers, and candy. They think hard and pick their prizes. Ben chooses a book about dinosaurs. Lily chooses a doll with a pink dress. + +They thank the man and their mom. They hold their prizes and smile. They feel very lucky. They love the gym and the trampoline. They can't wait to come back and jump again. +Sara and Tom are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going home after a fun day at the park. Sara and Tom are tired and hungry. They want to eat dinner and play with their toys. + +But the car is not moving fast. There are many other cars on the road. Mom and Dad look at the clock. They say there is a delay. A delay means they have to wait longer to get home. + +Sara and Tom do not like delays. They start to cry and whine. They ask Mom and Dad, "When will we be home? We want to be home now!" + +Mom and Dad try to calm them down. They say, "We know you are unhappy, but we have to be patient. There is nothing we can do about the delay. We will be home soon, we promise. Why don't you look out the window and see if you can find something interesting?" + +Sara and Tom wipe their tears and look out the window. They see many things they have never seen before. They see big trucks and buses. They see tall buildings and bright signs. They see people and animals walking and riding bikes. They point and name the things they see. They start to feel curious and excited. + +Mom and Dad smile and say, "See, there are many things to see and learn on the road. Sometimes delays can be fun. But don't worry, we are almost home. We can see our house from here. It is the big blue one with the yellow door. Do you see it?" + +Sara and Tom nod and cheer. They see their home. They are happy. They say, "We see it! We see it! We are home! We love our home!" + +Mom and Dad park the car and hug Sara and Tom. They say, "We love our home too. And we love you. Now let's go inside and have dinner and play with your toys. You have been very good and brave today. We are proud of you." + +Sara and Tom smile and say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. We love you too. We had a fun day. But we are glad to be home." +Sara and Lily were sisters who liked to play dress-up. They had a big box of fancy clothes and hats and shoes that their mom gave them. They also had some lotion that smelled nice and made their skin soft. + +One day, they decided to play dress-up in their mom's room, where they could use her mirror and jewelry. They put on some fancy dresses and hats and necklaces and bracelets. They felt very pretty and happy. + +Then, Sara saw a bottle of lotion on the dresser. She said to Lily, "Look, this is mom's lotion. It is very special and expensive. Let's use some of it to make us more fancy." + +Lily said, "No, Sara, we can't use mom's lotion. She will be angry if we do. She told us not to touch her things." + +But Sara did not listen. She opened the bottle and poured some lotion on her hands. She rubbed it on her face and arms and legs. She said, "See, Lily, I am more fancy now. You should use some too." + +Lily said, "No, Sara, I don't want to. It is not ours. Put it back." + +But Sara did not listen. She poured more lotion on her hands and rubbed it on her hair and dress and hat. She said, "See, Lily, I am the fanciest now. You are not fancy at all." + +Lily said, "Sara, stop it. You are making a mess. Mom will be very angry. Put it back." + +But Sara did not listen. She poured the rest of the lotion on the floor and jumped on it. She said, "See, Lily, I am having fun. You are not fun at all." + +Lily said, "Sara, stop it. You are being bad. Mom will be very angry. Come on, let's go." + +But Sara did not listen. She slipped on the lotion and fell on the floor. She hit her head on the dresser and started to cry. She said, "Ow, ow, ow. It hurts. Help me, Lily." + +Lily was scared. She ran to the door and called for mom. She said, "Mom, mom, come quick. Sara is hurt. She used your lotion and made a mess." + +Mom came running. She saw Sara on the floor, bleeding and crying. She saw the lotion all over the room, on the clothes and hats and jewelry. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Sara, Sara, what have you done? You are in big trouble. You are not fancy. You are naughty." + +She picked up Sara and took her to the bathroom. She cleaned her wound and put a bandage on it. She said, "Sara, you have to go to the doctor. You have to get a shot. It will hurt more. You have to say sorry to me and to Lily. You have to learn to listen and to share and to be good." + +Sara was very sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I was bad. I won't do it again. I don't want to be fancy. I want to be good." + +But it was too late. Mom was still angry and sad. Lily was still scared and sad. Sara was still hurt and sad. They had a bad day. They did not play dress-up anymore. +Lily liked to dream. She dreamed of big boats and blue seas. She dreamed of being a fisherman like her dad. She wanted to catch many fish and see new places. + +One day, her dad said, "Lily, do you want to come with me to the lake? I have a small boat and a fishing rod. We can have some fun." + +Lily was very happy. She said, "Yes, dad, I want to go with you. Can I help you catch fish?" + +Her dad smiled and said, "Of course, you can. But you have to be careful. The lake can be dangerous. There are rocks and waves and big fish. You have to listen to me and stay in the boat." + +Lily nodded and said, "I will, dad. I will be a good fisherman." + +They went to the lake and got on the boat. Her dad gave her a fishing rod and showed her how to use it. Lily threw the line into the water and waited. She hoped to catch a big fish. + +Suddenly, she felt a tug on the line. She pulled hard and saw a shiny fish jumping out of the water. She was very excited. She said, "Dad, look, I caught a fish!" + +Her dad looked and said, "Wow, Lily, that's a great fish. But be careful, it's a dangerous fish. It has sharp teeth and spikes. Don't touch it. Let me help you." + +He took the fish from the line and put it in a bucket. He said, "This fish is called a pike. It's a good fish to eat, but not to play with. You did a good job, Lily. You are a brave fisherman." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, dad. I like fishing with you. Can we do it again?" + +Her dad hugged her and said, "Yes, we can. But now, let's go back to the shore. It's getting dark and cold. We can cook the fish and have a nice dinner." + +They rowed back to the shore and packed their things. Lily was very happy. She had a wonderful day. She dreamed of fishing again with her dad. +Lily was a little girl who loved to sing. She sang all the time, at home, at school, and in the park. She had a big dream: to sing for many people in a big country far away. + +One day, her teacher told her that there was a singing contest for children. The winner would get to travel to a big country and sing on a big stage. Lily wanted to join, but she was scared. She had never sung in front of so many people before. What if they did not like her voice? What if she forgot the words? + +Her teacher saw that Lily was scared. She encouraged her to join the contest. She said, "Lily, you have a beautiful voice. You have worked hard to learn the songs. You have nothing to be afraid of. Just sing from your heart and enjoy yourself. I believe in you." + +Lily listened to her teacher. She decided to join the contest. She practiced every day, with her teacher, her family, and her friends. They all encouraged her and cheered for her. + +The day of the contest came. Lily was nervous, but she remembered what her teacher said. She took a deep breath and walked on the stage. She saw many people in the audience, but she also saw her teacher, her family, and her friends. They smiled at her and clapped for her. She felt calm and happy. She sang her song with all her heart. The audience loved her. They clapped louder and louder. Lily won the contest. She was so happy. She thanked her teacher, her family, and her friends. She said, "You helped me make my dream come true. You encouraged me to be brave and to sing. I love you all." + +Lily got to travel to a big country and sing on a big stage. She met many new people and saw many new things. She sang with joy and confidence. She never forgot her teacher, her family, and her friends who encouraged her. She always sang from her heart and enjoyed herself. + +The moral of the story is: If you have a dream, don't be afraid to pursue it. If you have people who encourage you, don't forget to appreciate them. If you have a talent, don't hide it. Share it with the world. +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to visit the park with their mom. They loved to see the flowers, the swings, and the pigeons. The pigeons were gray and white and made funny noises. Sometimes they flew away when Lily and Sam came near, and sometimes they stayed and ate the bread that mom gave them. + +One day, Lily and Sam saw a new pigeon in the park. It was not gray and white, but blue and green and shiny. It looked like a toy, but it moved and made noises like a real pigeon. Lily and Sam were curious and wanted to touch it. + +"Wow, look at that pigeon!" Lily said. "It is so modern and pretty!" + +"Can we pet it, mom?" Sam asked. + +Mom shook her head. "No, you can't. That is not a real pigeon, it is a robot pigeon. Someone made it to spy on people and things. It is not nice to touch other people's things without asking." + +"But mom, it is so cool!" Sam said. "Maybe they don't mind if we play with it for a little bit." + +Sam ran towards the robot pigeon, but Lily stayed with mom. She remembered that mom always taught them to respect other people's property and privacy. She also felt sorry for the real pigeons, who looked scared and confused by the robot pigeon. + +"Sam, stop!" Lily shouted. "That is not a good idea!" + +But it was too late. Sam reached the robot pigeon and tried to grab it. The robot pigeon did not like that. It made a loud beep and a flash of light. Then it flew away, but not before it pecked Sam on the hand. Sam cried out in pain and ran back to mom and Lily. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam said. "That pigeon hurt me!" + +Mom hugged Sam and checked his hand. It was red and swollen, but not bleeding. She put some ice on it and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. That was a bad pigeon. It should not have hurt you. But you should not have touched it either. You did not listen to me or Lily. You need to be more careful and respectful when you visit the park. You never know what you might find." + +Lily gave Sam a kiss on the cheek and said, "I'm sorry, too, Sam. I hope your hand feels better soon. Next time, let's just play with the real pigeons. They are not modern, but they are friendly and fun." + +Sam nodded and said, "You're right, Lily. I learned my lesson. Real pigeons are better than robot pigeons. And listening to mom and Lily is better than being curious and naughty." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's a good moral, Sam. I'm proud of you and Lily. Now, let's go home and have some cookies. And maybe we can visit the park again another day, when there are no robot pigeons around." + +The end. +Lily was a playful dog who loved to run and jump and chase. She lived with a human family who gave her food and water and hugs. Sometimes they also gave her toys to play with, like balls and ropes and squeaky things. + +One day, Lily found a new toy in a box. It was soft and fluffy and had a red ribbon around it. Lily thought it was a gift for her, so she grabbed it with her teeth and ran to the living room. She wanted to show her human family her new toy and play with them. + +But when she got to the living room, she saw that her human family was not happy. They were sitting on the couch and looking at the TV. They looked sad and scared. Lily heard them say words like "virus" and "lockdown" and "no school". She did not know what those words meant, but she knew they were bad. + +Lily wanted to make her human family happy again. She wagged her tail and barked and dropped her new toy on the floor. She hoped they would notice her and play with her and the toy. But they did not. They kept looking at the TV and talking in low voices. + +Lily felt sad too. She picked up her new toy and went to her bed. She curled up with the toy and tried to sleep. She thought maybe tomorrow her human family would be happy again and play with her and the toy. + +But then she heard a voice. It was her human sister, Anna. Anna was the smallest human in the family, and Lily liked her a lot. Anna always played with Lily and gave her treats and kisses. + +Anna came to Lily's bed and smiled. She said, "Hi, Lily. I'm sorry we didn't play with you today. We are all very worried about the virus. But you know what? You are the best dog in the world. And you know what else? That toy is not for you. It's for me. It's my birthday tomorrow. But I don't mind if you have it. You can keep it. I love you, Lily." + +Lily licked Anna's face and wagged her tail. She was happy that Anna was not sad and that she loved her. She decided to share her new toy with Anna. She gave Anna one end of the toy and kept the other end in her mouth. They started to play tug-of-war with the toy. They pulled and tugged and laughed and growled. + +The other humans heard them and turned to look. They saw Lily and Anna playing with the toy and having fun. They smiled and joined them. They took turns to wrap the toy around Lily and Anna and tickle them. They forgot about the virus and the lockdown and the no school for a while. They just played and cuddled and loved each other. + +Lily was happy. She had a new toy, a human sister, and a human family who loved her. She thought maybe everything would be okay. She thought maybe tomorrow would be a better day. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big oak tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb it and see the birds and the sky. + +"Let's go up the tree!" Ben said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They ran to the tree and grabbed the branches. They pulled themselves up and up. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They were happy. + +But then they saw a man sitting under the tree. He was bald and had a big beard. He was napping on a blanket. He had a book and a hat next to him. + +"Shh, don't wake him up!" Lily whispered. + +"OK!" Ben whispered. + +But Ben was too loud. He stepped on a twig and it snapped. The man opened his eyes and saw the children. + +"Hey, what are you doing up there?" he shouted. "Get down from my tree!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want to make the man angry. They tried to climb down quickly. But they slipped and fell. They landed on the blanket and the book and the hat. + +"Ouch!" Ben and Lily cried. + +"Ouch!" the man cried. + +The man was mad. He picked up his things and shook his fist at the children. + +"Go away, you naughty kids!" he said. "You ruined my nap and my stuff!" + +Ben and Lily ran away. They felt sorry and sad. They did not mean to hurt the man or his things. They just wanted to have fun. + +They found their mom and dad and told them what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were sorry too. They said they should be careful and respectful of other people and their things. They said they should say sorry to the man if they saw him again. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They learned a lesson. They decided to play somewhere else. They hoped the man would forgive them and have a good nap. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to open the drawers and look at the spoons, forks and knives. They liked to open the fridge and smell the cheese, milk and eggs. They liked to open the jars and taste the jam, honey and sauce. + +One day, Mom was cooking dinner in the kitchen. She was making pasta with sauce and cheese. She told Tim and Kim to go and play in their room, because she did not want them to disturb her. She said, "Please, Tim and Kim, do not touch anything in the kitchen. It is hot and messy. You could get hurt or make a mess. Go and play with your toys in your room. I will call you when dinner is ready." + +But Tim and Kim did not listen to Mom. They thought it would be funny to sneak into the kitchen and see what Mom was doing. They waited until Mom went to the living room to check on the TV. Then they ran into the kitchen and started to open the drawers, the fridge and the jars. They did not see the pot of sauce on the stove. They did not see the steam coming out of it. They did not see the spoon that Mom left in it. + +Tim reached for the jar of honey. He wanted to taste it. He pulled it hard, but it was stuck. He pulled harder, but it did not move. He pulled even harder, but it still did not move. He pulled so hard that he knocked over the pot of sauce. The sauce spilled all over the stove, the floor and Tim. Tim screamed. Kim screamed. Mom heard them and ran into the kitchen. + +Mom saw the mess and Tim covered in sauce. She was angry and worried. She said, "Tim and Kim, what have you done? You did not listen to me. You disturbed me and the dinner. You made a big mess and you hurt yourself. You are not funny. You are naughty. Go to your room and stay there until I clean up and cool down." + +Tim and Kim felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to disturb you and the dinner. We did not mean to make a mess and hurt ourselves. We thought it would be funny, but it was not. It was silly and bad. We will go to our room and stay there. We will not touch anything in the kitchen again." + +Mom took Tim to the bathroom and washed the sauce off him. She checked if he had any burns or cuts. She gave him a hug and a kiss. She said, "I love you, Tim. But you have to listen to me. I tell you things for your own good. The kitchen is not a place to play. It is a place to cook and eat. You have to be careful and respectful. You have to learn from your mistake." + +Tim nodded and said, "I love you, Mom. I am sorry for my mistake. I will listen to you next time. I will be careful and respectful. I will not disturb you or the dinner again." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Tim. Now go to your room and wait for me. I will finish the dinner and call you and Kim. We will eat together and talk. We will have a nice evening." + +Tim went to his room and joined Kim. They sat on their bed and waited for Mom. They felt sad and hungry. They wished they had listened to Mom. They learned their lesson. They did not want to disturb anyone or anything again. They wanted to be good and happy. +Sara and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to make things with paper, glue and scissors. They were very creative. They made hats, masks, animals and flowers. + +Sara saw an ashtray on the table. It was round and shiny. She thought it would be fun to use it for her craft. She took it and put some paper and glue on it. She made a sun with rays. + +Ben saw what Sara did. He was not happy. He knew the ashtray was not a toy. It was for grown-ups who smoked. He said to Sara, "That is not a good idea. You should not use the ashtray. It is dirty and smelly. It can hurt you. You should put it back." + +Sara did not listen to Ben. She said, "I like the ashtray. It is pretty and shiny. I am creative. I can use it for my craft. You are boring. You do not know how to have fun." + +Ben was sad. He wanted to play with Sara. He tried to suggest something else. He said, "Why don't we make a rocket with a bottle and some foil? Or a castle with some boxes and some paint? Or a necklace with some beads and some string? There are many things we can make. We do not need the ashtray." + +Sara did not care. She said, "No, no, no. I only want the ashtray. It is mine. Go away." + +Ben went away. He played by himself. He made a rocket, a castle and a necklace. He had fun. He was creative. + +Sara stayed with the ashtray. She finished her sun. She was proud. She wanted to show it to Ben. She looked for him. She did not find him. She felt lonely. She wished she had played with him. She realized she was not nice. She was selfish. + +She took the ashtray and went to Ben. She said, "I am sorry, Ben. I was wrong. You were right. The ashtray is not a toy. It is not good for me. I do not want it anymore. Can I play with you? Can I see your rocket, your castle and your necklace? They are beautiful. You are creative. You are a good friend." + +Ben smiled. He said, "It is okay, Sara. I forgive you. You can play with me. You can see my rocket, my castle and my necklace. You are creative too. You are a good friend too." + +Sara and Ben hugged. They played together. They shared their crafts. They had fun. They learned a lesson. They learned to respect other people's things. They learned to listen to good advice. They learned to be kind and generous. They were happy. +Lily loved to visit her grandpa's ranch. She liked to see the cows, the horses, and the chickens. She liked to help her grandpa feed them and brush them. She liked to ride on her grandpa's tractor and watch the sun set. + +One day, Lily saw a big red truck on the road. It had a loud horn and a shiny badge. It was a fire truck. Lily wondered why it was there. She asked her grandpa, but he did not answer. He looked worried. He told Lily to stay inside the house and wait for him. He ran to the barn with a bucket and a hose. + +Lily was scared. She did not like the fire truck. She did not like the smoke that came from the barn. She did not like the noise that the animals made. She wanted to help her grandpa, but he told her to stay inside. She felt alone and sad. + +Lily saw a little kitten on the porch. It was black and white and had blue eyes. It was one of the barn cats. It looked scared too. It meowed and rubbed against Lily's leg. Lily picked it up and hugged it. She felt better. She decided to name it Spot. + +Lily and Spot waited for a long time. They heard sirens and shouts and water. They hoped that everything would be okay. They hoped that her grandpa and the animals would be safe. + +Finally, Lily saw her grandpa come out of the barn. He was dirty and tired, but he was smiling. He had a cow, a horse, and a chicken with him. They were dirty and tired too, but they were alive. Lily ran to her grandpa and hugged him. He hugged her back. He told her that he was sorry. He said that he had left a candle on in the barn and it had started a fire. He said that he was ashamed of his mistake. He said that he was proud of Lily for being brave and staying inside. He said that he loved her and Spot. + +Lily smiled. She said that she was sorry too. She said that she was glad that he and the animals were okay. She said that she loved him and Spot too. She said that she was not ashamed of him. She said that he was the best grandpa in the world. +Sara loved her dog Max. He was big and brown and loyal. He always followed her and played with her and licked her face. Sara liked to hug him and tell him secrets. She promised him that he was her best friend. + +One day, Sara's mom said they had to go to the store. She told Sara to stay with Max and be good. Sara nodded and said bye to her mom. She looked at Max and said, "Let's have some fun, Max. Do you want to play ball?" Max barked and wagged his tail. He loved to play ball. + +Sara took a ball from her toy box and threw it across the room. Max ran after it and caught it in his mouth. He brought it back to Sara and dropped it on the floor. Sara threw it again and again. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Sara threw the ball too hard. It hit a vase on the shelf and made it fall. The vase broke into many pieces on the floor. Sara gasped and Max whimpered. They heard the sound of the car in the driveway. Sara's mom was back. + +Sara was scared. She knew her mom would be mad. She looked at Max and said, "Don't tell, Max. Please. It was an accident. I promise I'll clean it up. You're my best friend, right?" Max looked at her with his big brown eyes. He licked her hand and nodded. He was loyal. He would not tell. + +Sara's mom came in and saw the mess on the floor. She frowned and asked, "What happened here, Sara?" Sara bit her lip and said, "I don't know, mom. I was playing with Max and then I heard a noise. Maybe it was the wind." Sara's mom looked at her and then at Max. Max wagged his tail and smiled. He did not tell. He kept his promise. He was Sara's best friend. +Sara and Ben are playing in the backyard. They see a big pile of laundry on the grass. Sara has an idea. + +"Let's play dress up with the laundry!" she says to Ben. + +Ben nods. He likes to play dress up. They run to the pile and start to put on different clothes. Sara puts on a pink dress and a hat. Ben puts on a blue shirt and a tie. + +They pretend to be a princess and a king. They make up stories and act them out. They have fun. + +But they do not see Mom coming out of the house. Mom is looking for the laundry. She is very angry when she sees Sara and Ben. + +"What are you doing?" she yells. "This is not your clothes. This is my laundry. You made it dirty and wrinkled. You are very naughty!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They take off the clothes and drop them on the ground. They try to say sorry, but Mom does not listen. + +She grabs their hands and drags them inside. She tells them they have to go to their rooms and stay there. She tells them they will not get any snacks or toys. She tells them they are in big trouble. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They cry and hug each other. They wish they did not play with the laundry. They wish Mom was not so mad. They are very nervous. They do not know what will happen next. They hope Mom will forgive them. But they are not sure. +Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play, but it was raining outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do. + +"Let's search for chocolate!" Ben said. He loved chocolate. It was sweet and yummy. + +"Okay!" Lily agreed. She also liked chocolate. It made her happy. + +They went to the kitchen and opened the cupboards. They found some cookies, some crackers, and some jam, but no chocolate. + +"Maybe Mom hid it somewhere," Ben said. He had a clever idea. "Let's look in her bedroom!" + +They ran to Mom's bedroom and searched under the bed, in the drawers, and on the shelves. They found some books, some clothes, and some perfume, but no chocolate. + +"Where is it?" Lily asked. She was getting hungry. + +"Maybe it's in the closet," Ben said. He opened the closet door and saw a big box. It had a bow on it. "Look, Lily! A present!" + +They pulled the box out of the closet. It was heavy. They shook it and heard a rattling sound. + +"Maybe it's a toy!" Lily said. She was excited. + +"Or maybe it's chocolate!" Ben said. He was hopeful. + +They tore off the bow and the paper and opened the box. Inside, they saw many small, shiny, wrapped pieces of chocolate. + +"Wow!" Lily and Ben said together. They smiled and hugged each other. + +They took some chocolate and ate it. It was delicious. They felt warm and cozy. + +They heard Mom coming up the stairs. They quickly put the box back in the closet and ran to the kitchen. + +"Hi, kids!" Mom said. She saw their faces and their hands. They were covered in chocolate. "What have you been doing?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and giggled. + +"Nothing, Mom," they said. "We were just searching for chocolate." +Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, bridges, cars and animals with their blocks. + +One day, they decide to make a chain with their blocks. They use long blocks and small blocks to link them together. They make a very long chain that goes from one end of the room to the other. They are very proud of their chain. + +"Look at our chain!" Lily says to Ben. "It is so long and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "But how many blocks are in our chain? Can we number them?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She knows how to count to ten, but she is not sure how to count more than that. She starts to number the blocks from one end of the chain. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," she says, pointing at each block. + +Ben joins her and continues to number the blocks from the other end of the chain. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," he says, pointing at each block. + +They meet in the middle of the chain, where they have both said ten. + +"Ten and ten is twenty!" Lily says. "We have twenty blocks in our chain!" + +"Wow, that is a lot!" Ben says. "Our chain is very heavy!" + +They try to lift their chain, but it is too heavy for them. They laugh and let it fall on the floor. + +"Maybe we can make a shorter chain next time," Lily says. + +"Or maybe we can ask Mom or Dad to help us lift it," Ben says. + +They agree and go to find their parents. They want to show them their chain and how they can number the blocks. They are happy and proud of their work. +Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the farm with their moms. They see many animals. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. + +"Look, Tom, there is a big horse!" Ann says. She points to a brown horse with a long mane. "Can we pet him?" + +"Sure, let's go!" Tom says. He runs to the horse. He sees a bucket of oats near the fence. He picks up a handful of oats. He wants to feed the horse. + +"Wait, Tom, be careful!" Ann says. She follows him. She knows that some horses can bite. She is not as enthusiastic as Tom. + +Tom reaches the horse. He holds out his hand with the oats. The horse looks at him. He sniffs the oats. He opens his mouth. He eats the oats. He eats Tom's hand too! + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cries. He pulls his hand back. He drops the oats. He sees blood on his fingers. He is scared and hurt. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Ann asks. She runs to him. She hugs him. She sees his hand. She is worried. + +"Mom, mom, help!" Ann shouts. She waves to their moms. Their moms hear her. They come to them. They see what happened. + +"Oh, no, Tom, what did you do?" Tom's mom asks. She takes his hand. She wraps it with a cloth. She is angry and sad. + +"I'm sorry, mom, I just wanted to feed the horse," Tom says. He sniffles. He is sorry too. + +"You should never feed a horse without asking, Tom," Tom's mom says. She carries him to the car. She takes him to the doctor. She hopes he will be okay. + +Ann and her mom stay at the farm. They say goodbye to the horse. They are careful not to feed him. They learn more about the animals. They have fun. But they miss Tom. They hope he will be okay too. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big bird in a tree. The bird has a nest with eggs. + +"Look, eggs!" Ben says. "I want to see them." + +"No, Ben. Mama says we should not touch the eggs. They are not ours. The bird will be angry," Lily says. + +But Ben does not listen. He climbs the tree. He is strong and fast. He reaches the nest. He picks up an egg. It is warm and smooth. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Ben says. He holds the egg in his hand. + +Suddenly, the bird comes back. It sees Ben with the egg. It is very angry. It flies at Ben. It pecks him on the head. It makes a loud noise. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. He drops the egg. It falls to the ground. It breaks. A baby bird comes out. It is wet and small. It chirps. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Lily says. She watches from the ground. She is scared and sad. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ben says. He climbs down the tree. He runs to Lily. He hugs her. He has a bump on his head. + +The bird flies to the baby bird. It covers it with its wings. It glares at Ben and Lily. It makes a loud noise. + +"Let's go, Ben. We should not bother the bird and the baby bird. They need to be safe and happy," Lily says. + +"OK, Lily. You are right. I was bad. I will not touch the eggs again," Ben says. + +They go back to the house. They tell Mama what happened. Mama is not happy. She scolds Ben. She puts a band-aid on his bump. She tells them to be careful and kind to animals. + +Ben and Lily say sorry. They hug Mama. They hug each other. They learn a lesson. They watch the bird and the baby bird from far away. They are happy. +Anna liked to help her grandma in the kitchen. She loved to mix the flour, the eggs and the milk to make pancakes. She also liked to taste the batter with her finger. Grandma smiled and said, "Mixing is fun, but you have to be careful not to make a mess." + +One day, Anna wanted to make pancakes by herself. She took the bowl, the spoon and the ingredients from the cupboard. She did not ask grandma for help. She thought she knew how to mix everything. She poured too much flour, too many eggs and too much milk. The batter was too thick and lumpy. She tried to stir harder, but the spoon slipped from her hand. The batter splashed all over the table, the floor and the wall. Some of it even landed on grandma's armchair. + +Grandma heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and was very angry. She said, "Anna, what have you done? You ruined my armchair! It is very old and precious. It belonged to my grandma and her grandma before her. It is ancient and you cannot find another one like it. You should have asked me for help. You should have listened to me. Mixing is not a game. It is a skill that you have to learn." + +Anna felt very sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, grandma. I wanted to surprise you with pancakes. I did not mean to make a mess. I did not know your armchair was ancient and special. I will help you clean it and the kitchen. Please forgive me." + +Grandma sighed and hugged Anna. She said, "I forgive you, Anna. I know you meant well. But next time, please ask me before you try something new. I will teach you how to mix properly and how to respect old things. I love you, Anna. And I love pancakes. But I love you more." + +Anna smiled and said, "I love you too, grandma. And I love your armchair. It is very beautiful and cozy. Can we sit on it and eat pancakes together?" + +Grandma nodded and said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's clean up this mess." + +The moral value of the story is: Ask for help and listen to advice when you try something new. Respect old things and learn from them. +Ben and Mia were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him two buttons for eyes and a smile. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Ben said. "Do you like the snow?" + +The snowman did not answer. He just stood there, looking happy. + +Mia felt cold. She shivered and rubbed her arms. "Ben, I want to go inside. It's too cold out here." + +Ben nodded. He was cold too. He took Mia's hand and they walked back to the house. They left the snowman in the yard. + +The next day, the sun was shining. Ben and Mia looked out the window and saw the snowman. He was not the same. He was smaller and his hat was falling off. His scarf was on the ground and his carrot nose was gone. His buttons were still there, but his smile was gone too. + +"What happened to Mr. Snowman?" Mia asked. + +Ben frowned. He knew the result. "The sun made him melt. He was too fat for the sun." + +Mia felt sad. She liked the snowman. She wished he could stay. + +"Maybe we can make another one when it snows again," Ben said. + +Mia nodded. She hoped it would snow soon. She wanted to play with Mr. Snowman again. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were a king and a queen. Anna had a paper crown that she made at school. Ben had a stick that he used as a sword. + +"Anna, can I wear your crown for a little bit?" Ben asked. "It looks so fine and shiny." + +"Okay, but you have to promise to give it back soon. It is my favorite crown," Anna said. She took off her crown and gave it to Ben. + +"I promise, Anna. Thank you for sharing," Ben said. He put the crown on his head and smiled. + +They played for a while, but then they saw some big kids coming. The big kids looked mean and loud. They had bikes and balls and bats. + +"Hey, look at that silly boy with the paper crown. He thinks he is a king," one of the big kids said. He laughed and pointed at Ben. + +"Let's take his crown and rip it up," another big kid said. He ran towards Ben and grabbed the crown from his head. + +"Hey, give that back. That is not yours. That is Anna's crown," Ben shouted. He tried to get the crown back, but the big kid was too strong and fast. + +"Too bad, little king. Your crown is gone," the big kid said. He tore the crown into pieces and threw them on the ground. + +Anna saw what happened and ran to Ben. She was very sad and angry. She picked up the pieces of her crown and hugged them. + +"Ben, you broke your promise. You did not give me back my crown. You let the big kids take it and ruin it. You are a bad friend," Anna said. She cried and turned away from Ben. + +Ben felt very sorry and ashamed. He wanted to say he was sorry and make Anna happy again, but he did not know how. He lost his friend and her crown. He wished he never asked for it. He wished he kept his promise. +Tom and Anna like to draw with crayons. They have a big book with many pages. They can draw anything they want on the pages. + +One day, Tom draws a big red car on his page. He likes cars very much. He shows his page to Anna and says, "Look, Anna, I draw a red car. Do you like it?" + +Anna looks at Tom's page and nods. She likes cars too. She says, "Yes, Tom, I like your red car. It is very nice. Can I join you and draw a car too?" + +Tom smiles and says, "Of course, Anna, you can join me and draw a car. Here, take a crayon and find a page. What color do you want your car to be?" + +Anna thinks for a moment and says, "I want my car to be blue. Blue is my favorite color. Thank you, Tom, for letting me join you and draw a car." + +Tom and Anna find a page and start to draw their cars. They are very happy and have fun. They draw windows, wheels, doors, and lights on their cars. They make vroom-vroom sounds as they draw. They are proud of their cars and show them to each other. They say, "Wow, our cars are very pretty. We are good at drawing cars. We like to draw together." +Ben and Mia like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, bridges, houses and more with their blocks. + +One day, Ben and Mia want to make something new with their blocks. They look at their blocks and think. Ben has an idea. He suggests to Mia, "Let's make animals with our blocks. We can use the shapes to make heads, bodies, legs and tails." + +Mia likes Ben's idea. She says, "OK, let's make animals. What animal do you want to make?" Ben looks at his blocks and picks some. He says, "I want to make a dog. I can use a square for the head, a rectangle for the body, four cylinders for the legs and a triangle for the tail." + +Mia thinks that Ben's dog is good. She looks at her blocks and picks some. She says, "I want to make a cat. I can use a circle for the head, an oval for the body, four cones for the legs and a curved shape for the tail." + +Ben and Mia make their animals with their blocks. They are happy with their work. They show their animals to each other. They see that their animals are different. Ben's dog is blue and green. Mia's cat is red and yellow. Their shapes are not the same. Ben and Mia think that their animals are unique. They say, "We made unique animals with our blocks. They are not like any other animals. They are special and fun." Ben and Mia hug their animals and smile. They are proud of their creativity. +Anna and Ben are playing with their dolls. Anna has a pink cloth that she uses as a dress for her doll. Ben wants the cloth too, but Anna does not want to share. + +"Give me the cloth, Anna!" Ben says. He tries to grab the cloth from Anna's hand, but Anna holds it tight. + +"No, Ben! It is mine!" Anna says. She tries to pull the cloth away from Ben, but Ben is strong. + +They both tug and tug on the cloth, but neither of them can get it. They are both impatient and angry. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She hears them fighting and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the cloth in their hands and the dolls on the floor. + +"Look what you are doing! You are ruining the cloth and your dolls!" Mom says. She takes the cloth from them and puts it on the table. She picks up the dolls and gives them back to Anna and Ben. + +"You need to learn to share and play nicely," Mom says. "The cloth is not only for one of you. You can take turns or use it together. How about you make a tent for your dolls with the cloth?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry for fighting and hurting their dolls. They nod and say sorry to Mom and to each other. + +"Okay, Mom. We will share and play nicely," Anna says. + +"Me too, Mom. We will make a tent for our dolls," Ben says. + +They take the cloth from the table and spread it over two chairs. They put their dolls inside the tent and pretend they are camping. They have fun and forget about their fight. Mom smiles and watches them play. She is happy they are friends again. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run, jump and slide. They are happy and laugh a lot. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs and people. + +One day, they see something new in the sky. It is big and round and shiny. It has many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. It is a rainbow. Sara and Ben are amazed. They point at the rainbow and say: "Wow! Look! What is that?" + +A friendly voice answers them. It comes from the rainbow. It says: "Hello, Sara and Ben. I am a rainbow. I appear when the sun and the rain meet. I like to make people happy with my colors. Do you like me?" + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They did not know that a rainbow can talk. They are not afraid. They are curious. They say: "Hello, rainbow. You are very pretty. We like you very much. How do you appear? Can you tell us?" + +The rainbow smiles. It says: "Of course. I will tell you. When the sun shines and the rain falls, they make tiny drops of water in the air. The sun rays hit the drops and split into different colors. The colors bend and reflect and make a shape like a bow. That is how I appear. I am a gift from the sun and the rain to you." + +Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They say: "Thank you, rainbow. You are a gift to us too. You make us happy. Can we be your friends?" + +The rainbow says: "Yes, you can. You are very kind and sweet. I am happy to be your friend. But I have to go soon. I cannot stay for long. The sun and the rain will stop and I will disappear. But do not be sad. I will come back another day. And I will always remember you." + +Sara and Ben hug each other. They say: "Goodbye, rainbow. We will miss you. But we will look for you in the sky. And we will always remember you too." + +The rainbow says: "Goodbye, Sara and Ben. Have fun and be good. I will see you again. I love you." + +The rainbow fades away. Sara and Ben wave at it. They smile. They have a new friend. A rainbow friend. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big log. They want to walk on the log. They think it is fun. + +Tom goes first. He puts one foot on the log. He tries to balance. He wobbles. He puts his arms out. He does not fall. He smiles. He walks to the end of the log. He jumps off. He says, "I did it!" + +Mia goes next. She puts one foot on the log. She tries to balance. She wobbles. She puts her arms out. She falls. She cries. She says, "I can't do it!" + +Tom runs to Mia. He hugs her. He says, "Don't cry. I will help you. You can do it!" He holds her hand. He says, "Look at me. Don't look down. We will walk together."

You are a good brother." They hug. They see a slide. They run to the slide. They slide down. They laugh. They have fun. They love the park. They love each other. +Lily liked to sing. She sang every day. She sang when she woke up, when she ate, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs, and made-up songs. She sang with her toys, her mom, her dad, and her cat. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a woman sitting on a bench. The woman had a guitar and a hat. She was singing too. She sang loud and clear. She sang about the sun, the moon, the stars, and the flowers. Lily liked her songs. She wanted to sing with her. + +She ran to the woman and said, "Hi! I like your songs. Can I sing with you?" + +The woman smiled and said, "Sure! You have a lovely voice. What is your name?" + +"I'm Lily. What is your name?" + +"I'm Anna. Nice to meet you, Lily. Do you know any songs?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I know many songs. I can sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Old MacDonald Had a Farm, The Wheels on the Bus, and more." + +"Wow, you know a lot of songs. Let's sing them together. You can start." + +Lily and Anna sang together. They sang loud and clear. They sang happy and playful. They sang with their voices, their guitar, and their hands. They sang for a long time. They made people stop and listen. They made people smile and clap. They made friends. + +Lily and Anna had fun. They liked to sing. They liked each other. They sang every day. +Sam loved to play with his jet. It was a toy that made a loud noise and had a light on its nose. He liked to zoom it around the room and pretend he was flying high in the sky. He always wanted to see a real jet, but he never did. + +One day, his mom said they were going on a trip. She said they had to pack their bags and go to a big place with many people and cars. Sam was excited, but he did not know where they were going. He hoped it was somewhere fun. + +He brought his jet with him, and held it tight in his hand. He did not want to lose it. He followed his mom through the big place, and saw many signs and machines. He did not understand what they were for. He saw some big birds with wings, but they did not look like his jet. They were different colors and shapes. + +Then, his mom stopped and pointed to one of the big birds. She said, "Look, Sam, that's our jet. We're going to fly in it to see grandma and grandpa. Isn't that amazing?" + +Sam's eyes widened. He could not believe it. His jet was real. He was going to fly in it. He felt a rush of joy and wonder. He looked at his toy jet, and then at the real jet. He smiled and said, "Wow, mom, that's the best jet ever. Can I see the pilot?" + +His mom nodded and said, "Sure, honey, maybe we can. He's a very nice and modest man. He knows how to fly the jet very well. He can manage any problem that comes up. He's very brave and smart." + +Sam was eager to meet the pilot. He wanted to thank him for flying the jet and taking them to grandma and grandpa. He wanted to learn more about the jet and how it worked. He wanted to tell him how much he loved his toy jet and how it made him happy. + +He held his mom's hand and walked towards the jet. He felt like he was living in a dream. He was going to fly in a jet. He was going to see grandma and grandpa. He was going to have the best trip ever. He was the happiest boy in the world. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy boats in the pond. They had made the boats from paper and sticks, and they had tied stones to them as anchors. They wanted to see whose boat could sail the farthest. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lila shouted, and they both released their boats into the water. The boats floated away, pushed by the wind. + +"Look, mine is faster!" Ben said, pointing to his boat. "It has a bigger sail and a smaller anchor." + +"But mine is prettier!" Lila said, admiring her boat. "It has a colorful sail and a shiny anchor." + +They watched their boats for a while, until they saw a big duck swimming towards them. The duck was curious and hungry, and it pecked at the boats. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben yelled, running to the edge of the pond. "That's my boat!" + +The duck ignored him and bit off the sail of his boat. Then it swam to Lila's boat and nibbled at the anchor. + +"Leave it alone!" Lila cried, joining Ben. "That's my boat!" + +The duck didn't listen and tore off the anchor of her boat. Then it quacked and swam away, leaving the boats ruined. + +Lila and Ben were sad and angry. They looked at their boats, which were now just paper and sticks. + +"I'm sorry, Lila," Ben said. "Your boat was original and beautiful. I wish I had made mine like yours." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lila said. "Your boat was fast and smart. I wish I had made mine like yours." + +They hugged and learned a lesson. They realized that they should not compare their boats, but appreciate their own creativity and effort. They decided to make new boats together, using the best of both ideas. They also decided to be more careful with their boats, and not let the duck get them. +Lila and Ben are twins, but they are different. Lila likes to play with dolls and Ben likes to play with cars. Lila has long hair and Ben has short hair. Lila is small and Ben is big. + +One day, they go to the doctor with their mom. The doctor wants to check how they are growing. He asks them to stand on a big thing that can tell how much they weigh. Lila goes first. She steps on the thing and the doctor says, "You weigh 15 kilos, Lila. That's good for your age." + +Then Ben goes. He steps on the thing and the doctor says, "You weigh 18 kilos, Ben. That's also good for your age. But you are a bit heavier than Lila. Do you know why?" + +Ben thinks for a moment and says, "Maybe because I eat more?" + +The doctor laughs and says, "Maybe. Or maybe because you have more muscles from playing with cars. Or maybe because you are just different from Lila. And that's okay. Being different is not bad. It makes you special." + +Lila and Ben smile and hug each other. They are happy to be different, but they are also happy to be twins. They love each other very much. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to splash in the puddles and make mud pies. But they had to be careful not to get too dirty, or their mom would be mad. + +"Look, there is a big drain over there!" Tom said, pointing to a hole in the ground. "Let's go and see what is inside." + +"No, Tom, we can't do that. Mom said drains are dangerous. There might be rats or bugs or bad smells. We have to behave and stay away from them." Lily said, shaking her head. + +"But I want to see. It looks fun. Come on, Lily, don't be scared. It's just a drain." Tom said, pulling Lily by the hand. + +"Tom, stop! Let me go! You are hurting me!" Lily cried, trying to get free. + +"Tom! Lily! What are you doing?" Mom said, coming out of the house. She saw Tom dragging Lily towards the drain and ran to stop them. + +"Mom, help! Tom wants to go in the drain!" Lily said, sobbing. + +"Tom, what are you thinking? Drains are not for playing. They are very dangerous. You could get hurt or lost or sick. You are very naughty. You have to listen to Lily and me. We tell you things for your own good." Mom said, scolding Tom. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I was just curious. I didn't mean to make Lily cry." Tom said, hanging his head. + +"Curious is good, Tom, but you have to be careful and respectful too. You have to behave and follow the rules. And you have to be nice to your sister. She loves you and wants you to be safe." Mom said, hugging Tom. + +"I love you too, Lily. I'm sorry I was mean to you. Will you forgive me?" Tom said, looking at Lily. + +"I forgive you, Tom. But don't ever do that again. Drains are scary." Lily said, wiping her tears. + +"Okay, I won't. Let's go and play something else. Something safe and fun." Tom said, smiling. + +Mom was glad to see them make up. She took them inside and gave them some cookies and milk. They ate and drank and told Mom about their garden adventures. They left out the part about the drain. They knew Mom would not like that. They decided to behave and stay away from drains from now on. They learned their lesson. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with rope. They can make shapes with rope, or jump over rope, or swing rope. They have fun with rope. + +One day, they find a big rope in the park. It is tied to a tree. Ben says, "Look, Mia, a rope! Let's play with it!" Mia says, "Yes, Ben, let's play with it!" They run to the rope and grab it. + +They take turns to swing on the rope. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and shout. They swing high and low. They are happy. + +But then, a man comes to the park. He is angry. He says, "Hey, you kids, stop playing with my rope! That is my rope! I use it to clean my car. You are making it dirty!" He walks to the tree and unties the rope. He takes the rope away. + +Ben and Mia are sad. They say, "Sorry, mister, we did not know it was your rope. We just wanted to play with it." The man says, "Well, you should not play with things that are not yours. Go find something else to play with." He leaves with the rope. + +Ben and Mia look at each other. They say, "That was not nice. He did not share his rope. He did not let us play with it." They feel bad. They decide to go home. + +They walk to their houses. They say, "Bye, Mia, bye, Ben. See you tomorrow." They hug and smile. They are still friends. They hope to find another rope to play with. A clean rope. A rope that is theirs. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to travel with their mom and dad. They went to many places and saw many things. They always took pictures and kept them in a big book. The book was their memory of their travels. + +One day, they went to a zoo. They saw many animals, big and small, furry and scaly, loud and quiet. They liked them all, but they liked the monkeys best. The monkeys were funny and smart. They could swing and jump and play. They could also make faces and noises. + +Lily and Ben wanted to talk to the monkeys. They went close to the cage and said hello. One monkey looked at them and said hello back. Lily and Ben were surprised and happy. They asked the monkey his name. He said his name was Max. He said he was very intelligent and he learned to talk from the zookeepers. + +Lily and Ben asked Max many questions. They asked him what he liked to eat, what he liked to do, and where he came from. Max answered them all. He said he liked to eat bananas, he liked to play with his friends, and he came from a faraway forest. He said he missed his home and his family. + +Lily and Ben felt sad for Max. They asked him if he wanted to go back to the forest. Max said he did, but he couldn't. He said he was trapped in the cage and he had no choice. He said he was lonely and bored. + +Lily and Ben wanted to help Max. They asked their mom and dad if they could take Max with them. Their mom and dad said no. They said Max belonged to the zoo and they couldn't take him away. They said Max was better off in the zoo, where he was safe and cared for. + +Lily and Ben didn't understand. They thought Max was unhappy in the zoo. They thought he deserved to be free and happy. They decided to sneak Max out of the cage and take him to the forest. They waited until no one was looking and opened the cage. They told Max to follow them and be quiet. + +Max was scared and confused. He didn't know what Lily and Ben were doing. He didn't know where they were going. He didn't know if he could trust them. He followed them anyway, hoping they would help him. + +Lily and Ben ran with Max to the car. They hid him in the back seat and covered him with a blanket. They told their mom and dad they were ready to go. Their mom and dad didn't notice anything. They started the car and drove away. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They thought they had done a good thing. They thought they had saved Max. They thought they had made a new friend. They didn't know they had made a big mistake. They didn't know they had broken the rules. They didn't know they had put Max in danger. + +The moral of the story is: Don't take things that don't belong to you. Listen to your parents and respect their decisions. Think before you act and consider the consequences. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big car with a shiny sign. The sign said "Ice Cream". They ran to the car and asked for ice cream. + +The man in the car smiled and said, "Sure, kids. What flavor do you want?" He opened a big box with many colors. Lily and Tom pointed to the ones they liked. The man gave them cones with ice cream. He said, "That will be two dollars, please." + +Lily and Tom did not have money. They looked at each other. They did not know what to do. They were scared. The man said, "Don't worry, kids. I have an idea. You can give me something else instead of money. How about your license?" + +Lily and Tom did not know what a license was. They thought it was something nice. They nodded and said, "Okay." The man said, "Good. Give me your license and you can have the ice cream." He reached into his pocket and took out a camera. He said, "Smile, kids. Say cheese." + +Lily and Tom smiled and said, "Cheese." The man took a picture of them. He looked at the picture and said, "Perfect. This is your license. It has your name and face on it. Now I can find you anytime I want. Thank you, kids. Enjoy your ice cream." + +The man drove away with the picture. Lily and Tom ate their ice cream. They did not know they had done something bad. They did not know the man was bad. They did not know he would use their license to do bad things to them. They were glad they had ice cream. They did not know they would be sad soon. +Lily liked to ride her scooter in the park. She was very fast and good at it. She liked to zoom past the trees and the flowers and the people. She felt happy and free. + +One day, she saw a boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. He had a scooter too, but it was old and broken. Lily wanted to talk to him, but she was shy. She blinked her eyes and rode closer. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?" she asked. + +The boy looked up and smiled. "I'm Ben. Nice to meet you," he said. + +"I like your scooter. Can I try it?" Lily said. + +Ben nodded and gave her his scooter. Lily got on it and tried to ride. But it was hard. The wheels were wobbly and the handle was loose. She felt uncomfortable and scared. She stopped and gave it back. + +"Thank you, but I like my scooter better. It's faster and smoother," she said. + +Ben felt hurt and angry. He took his scooter and said, "Well, your scooter is too shiny and new. It's boring and easy. You don't know how to have fun." + +He turned away and walked to the other side of the park. Lily felt sorry and sad. She blinked her eyes and followed him. + +"Wait, Ben. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I was just curious. Your scooter is cool and special. It's different and fun. You know how to have fun," she said. + +Ben looked at her and smiled. He blinked his eyes and said, "Thank you, Lily. I'm sorry too. I was just jealous. Your scooter is cool and special too. It's fast and smooth. You are fast and smooth." + +He held out his hand and said, "Do you want to be friends?" + +Lily nodded and took his hand. They smiled and hugged. They decided to share their scooters and ride together. They felt happy and free. + +The moral of the story is: Don't judge people by their things. Be kind and respectful. Share and make friends. +Mia and Leo are friends. They like to play with puzzles. Mia has a big puzzle with many pieces. Leo has a small puzzle with few pieces. They sit on the floor and try to solve their puzzles. + +Mia is patient. She looks at the picture on the box and finds the pieces that match. She puts them together slowly and carefully. She smiles when she sees the puzzle grow. + +Leo is not patient. He does not look at the picture on the box. He grabs the pieces and tries to force them together. He frowns when they do not fit. He gets angry and throws the pieces away. + +"Leo, why are you so mad?" Mia asks. "Puzzles are fun!" + +"No, they are not!" Leo says. "They are hard and boring!" + +"Maybe you need a different puzzle," Mia says. "Do you want to try mine?" + +"No, yours is too big and easy!" Leo says. "I want a challenge!" + +Mia thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She sees a chubby cat sleeping on the sofa. She points to the cat and says, "Leo, do you see the cat?" + +"Yes, what about it?" Leo says. + +"Let's make a puzzle with the cat!" Mia says. "We can take turns to touch a part of the cat and say what it is. Then we can put the parts together in our minds and see the whole cat. That is a puzzle, too!" + +Leo likes the idea. He thinks it is fun and clever. He agrees to play with Mia. They tiptoe to the sofa and gently touch the cat. They say the names of the parts they touch: ears, whiskers, nose, eyes, fur, paws, tail. They laugh when the cat purrs and stretches. They solve the puzzle with the cat. They are happy and proud. They hug the cat and each other. They are friends. +Lily loves to swing. She likes to feel the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She swings high and low, fast and slow. She laughs and sings as she swings. + +One day, she sees a big blanket on the grass. It has many colors and shapes. She thinks it is pretty. She stops swinging and runs to the blanket. She sees a basket on the blanket. It has many yummy things inside. She sees apples, cheese, bread, and juice. She thinks it is a picnic. + +She looks around and sees a man and a woman. They are smiling and waving at her. They are Lily's mom and dad. They came to surprise her. They say, "Hello, Lily! We brought you a picnic. Do you want to join us?" + +Lily is happy. She hugs her mom and dad. She says, "Yes, please! I love picnics. And I love you!" She sits on the blanket and eats the yummy things. She shares with her mom and dad. They talk and laugh and have fun. + +After the picnic, Lily says, "Thank you, mom and dad. That was the best surprise ever. Can we swing again?" Her mom and dad say, "Of course, Lily. We love to swing with you." They hold her hands and walk to the swing. They swing high and low, fast and slow. They laugh and sing as they swing. Lily is happy. She thinks, "This is the best day ever." +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. They lived near a big church with a tall tower and a bell. Sometimes they heard the bell ring and they wondered what was inside the church. + +One day, they had a plan. They wanted to sneak into the church and see the bell. They waited until the people left the church and then they ran to the door. It was open, so they went inside. + +They saw many things in the church: chairs, candles, pictures, books. They did not touch anything, but they looked around. They saw a stairs that went up to the tower. They decided to go up and find the bell. + +They climbed the stairs and reached the top. They saw a big bell hanging from a rope. It was shiny and round. They wanted to hear it ring, so they pulled the rope. The bell made a loud noise that hurt their ears. They let go of the rope and covered their ears. + +But the bell did not stop ringing. It rang and rang and rang. They heard footsteps on the stairs. It was the man who worked at the church. He was angry and he shouted at them. + +"What are you doing here? How dare you ring the bell? You are in big trouble, you naughty children!" + +He grabbed them by their arms and dragged them down the stairs. He took them to his office and called their parents. He told them what Lily and Tom had done and said they had to pay for the damage. Their parents were very mad and they scolded them. They said they were sorry, but it was too late. They had to go home and they could not play together for a long time. They were very sad and they cried. They wished they had never had that plan. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big doll house. The doll house had many rooms, furniture, and dolls. Sara and Tom liked to display their doll house to their friends and pretend they were the dolls. + +One day, their mom bought them a new toy. It was a comb that could make different sounds when you brushed your hair. Sara and Tom were very excited and wanted to try it. They ran to their room and opened the box. The comb was cheap and made of plastic. It had a button that played music and a speaker that said words. + +Sara and Tom took turns brushing their hair with the comb. They liked the music and the words, but they did not notice that the comb was pulling their hair and making it messy. They also did not notice that the comb was making a lot of noise and annoying their mom. + +"Kids, can you please stop playing with that comb? It is too loud and it is hurting your hair. Why don't you play with your doll house instead?" their mom asked from downstairs. + +Sara and Tom did not listen to their mom. They thought the comb was more fun than the doll house. They kept playing with the comb and ignored their mom. + +Their mom got angry and came to their room. She saw their hair all tangled and their doll house all dusty. She took the comb away from them and threw it in the trash. She scolded them for being rude and careless. She told them they could not play with their doll house for a week. + +Sara and Tom cried and begged their mom to give them back the comb and the doll house. But their mom did not change her mind. She left them in their room and closed the door. Sara and Tom felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had listened to their mom and played with their doll house. They realized that the comb was cheap and not worth losing their favorite toy. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big wire on the ground. It was shiny and black. + +"Look, a wire!" Tom said. "Let's play with it!" + +"No, Tom, don't touch it!" Lily said. "It might be dangerous!" + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran to the wire and picked it up. He felt a strong shock. He screamed and dropped the wire. + +Lily was scared. She ran to Tom and tried to help him. But it was too late. Tom was not moving. He was not breathing. He was gone. + +The wire was powerful. It was from the electric pole. It had fallen down because of the storm. It had killed Tom. + +Lily cried and cried. She wished she could bring Tom back. She wished Tom had listened to her. She wished they had never seen the wire. +Tim and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Tim put some cookies on a tray and said, "Lily, can you take this to the table? Be careful, it is hot." + +Lily nodded and took the tray. She was very smart and knew how to hold it with both hands. She walked slowly and carefully to the table. But then she saw a big spider on the floor. She was scared of spiders. She screamed and dropped the tray. The cookies fell and broke. + +Tim heard Lily scream and ran to see what happened. He saw the spider and the cookies. He was not scared of spiders. He picked up a napkin and caught the spider. He threw it outside. Then he hugged Lily, who was trembling. + +"It's okay, Lily. The spider is gone. You are brave. I'm sorry about the cookies. We can make more later." + +Lily stopped trembling and smiled. She hugged Tim back. "Thank you, Tim. You are kind. I'm sorry too. The cookies looked good." + +They cleaned up the mess and went to the living room. They decided to play something else. They were happy. They loved each other. +Tommy liked to play with his toy train. He had many cars that he could attach to the engine. He liked to make the train go around the track and make noises. Choo-choo! + +One day, he found a new car in his toy box. It was red and soft. It had the word "velvet" on it. Tommy did not know what velvet meant, but he liked how it felt. He decided to attach it to his train. + +He showed his mom his new car. She smiled and said, "That's a nice car, Tommy. It's made of velvet. That's a kind of fabric that is soft and smooth. It's not very useful for a train, but it's pretty." + +Tommy did not care if it was useful or not. He liked his velvet car. He thought it made his train more special. He played with it all day. He was happy. +Lily loved to play with her mom's makeup. She liked to put on lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush. She felt like a princess when she looked in the mirror. But her mom did not like it when Lily took her makeup. She said it was not for children and it could make Lily sick. + +One day, Lily saw her mom's makeup bag on the table. She wanted to play with it so badly. She thought her mom would not notice if she took it to her room. She grabbed the bag and ran to her room. She opened the bag and saw all the pretty colors. She started to put on some makeup on her face. + +But then she heard her mom's voice. "Lily, where are you? What are you doing?" Her mom sounded angry. Lily felt scared. She tried to hide the makeup bag under her pillow. But it was too late. Her mom opened the door and saw Lily's face. She gasped. + +"Lily, what have you done? You took my makeup without asking! That's very naughty! You know you are not allowed to play with my makeup! Look at your face! You look like a clown! And you made a mess of my makeup! How could you?" Her mom scolded Lily. + +Lily felt miserable. She did not mean to make her mom mad. She just wanted to have some fun. She started to cry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to be pretty like you. Please don't be mad at me. I love you." + +Her mom sighed. She felt sorry for Lily too. She knew Lily did not understand why makeup was not for children. She hugged Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to listen to me. Makeup is not for children. It can hurt your skin and your eyes. And it is not what makes you pretty. You are pretty just the way you are. You don't need makeup to be a princess. You are my princess. Now let's go and wash your face. And please don't take my makeup again. OK?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, mom. I'm sorry. I won't take your makeup again. Can we still play dress up?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, we can still play dress up. But with clothes and accessories, not with makeup. OK?" + +Lily smiled too. She said, "OK, mom. Thank you. I love you." + +They went to the bathroom and washed Lily's face. Then they went to the closet and picked some clothes and accessories to play dress up. They had fun and laughed together. Lily felt happy again. She learned her lesson. She did not need makeup to be a princess. She had her mom. And her mom loved her. +Sam was a normal kid who liked to jump. He jumped on his bed, on the sofa, on the grass. He jumped so high that he felt like a bird. One day, he saw a big wall near his house. He wanted to jump over it and see what was on the other side. + +He ran to the wall and jumped as hard as he could. But the wall was too high and too hard. He hit his head on the wall and fell to the ground. He felt a lot of pain and started to cry. + +"Help! Help!" he shouted. But no one heard him. He was alone and scared. He wished he had not jumped. He wished he had stayed at home with his mom and dad. But it was too late. He had jumped too high and too hard. He had hurt himself badly. He closed his eyes and stopped crying. He did not jump anymore. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They liked to make them zoom and crash and pretend they were in a big race. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They made loud noises with their mouths as they moved their cars on the grass. + +"Look at my car, it's so fast!" Lily said. "It can beat your car any day!" + +"No way, my car is faster and stronger!" Ben said. "It can wreck your car in one hit!" + +They pushed their cars towards each other, trying to make them collide. But they missed and their cars went past each other. Lily's car hit a rock and flipped over. Ben's car hit a fence and broke its wheel. + +"Oh no, my car is a wreck!" Lily cried. She picked up her car and looked at it. It had a big dent and a scratch on its side. She felt sad and angry. + +"Ha ha, my car won!" Ben laughed. He picked up his car and held it up. It had a small crack and a loose wheel. He felt happy and proud. + +"That's not fair, your car is still okay!" Lily said. She threw her car on the ground and stomped her foot. "You cheated, you hit the fence on purpose!" + +"I did not, you hit the rock on purpose!" Ben said. He threw his car on the ground and crossed his arms. "You're a sore loser, you always cry when you lose!" + +They glared at each other and turned away. They felt distant and hurt. They did not want to play with each other anymore. + +Their mom came out and saw them sitting on opposite sides of the yard. She saw their broken cars and their frowning faces. She felt sorry and worried. + +"What's wrong, kids?" she asked. "Why are you not playing together?" + +They did not answer. They looked at their mom and then at each other. They felt ashamed and sorry. + +They realized they had been mean and silly. They did not want to fight over a game. They wanted to be friends again. + +They got up and walked towards each other. They picked up their cars and hugged each other. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to laugh at your car," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to throw my car," Lily said. + +They smiled and kissed each other. They felt happy and close. + +They showed their mom their cars and asked her to fix them. She smiled and nodded. She felt proud and glad. + +They thanked their mom and went back to playing with their cars. They did not care who won or lost. They just had fun and shared. They felt good and loved. +Sara and Ben were very hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy for lunch. Mom said they could choose from the menu. The menu had many things: pizza, soup, salad, sandwich, burger, fries, and more. + +Sara said, "I want pizza with cheese and tomato. It is my favorite." + +Ben said, "I want burger with ketchup and cheese. It is my favorite." + +Mom said, "Okay, pizza and burger it is. But you have to eat some salad too. It is good for you." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They were happy with their choice. They waited for their food to come. + +But then, something bad happened. A big dog ran into the restaurant. It was very fast and loud. It jumped on the tables and knocked over the plates. It ate some of the food and spilled some of the drinks. It made a big mess. + +Sara and Ben were scared. They hid under their table. They saw their pizza and burger on the floor. The dog had spoiled their food. They were very sad. + +Mom was angry. She shouted at the dog. She said, "Go away, you bad dog. You spoiled our lunch. You are not jolly. You are naughty." + +The dog ran away. It was afraid of Mom. Mom hugged Sara and Ben. She said, "I'm sorry, my darlings. The dog was very rude. But don't worry. We can order new food. What do you want now?" + +Sara and Ben looked at the menu again. They saw something new. It was ice cream. It had many colors and flavors. It looked very yummy. + +Sara and Ben smiled. They said, "We want ice cream, please. It is our new favorite." + +Mom smiled too. She said, "Okay, ice cream it is. But you have to eat some fruit too. It is good for you." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They were happy with their new choice. They waited for their ice cream to come. + +They hoped the dog would not come back. +Lily liked to play with her mom's makeup. She thought it was fun to put on the red lipstick and the shiny eye shadow. She wanted to look like her mom, who was very pretty and always wore makeup. + +One day, Lily saw her mom's makeup bag on the table. She was very curious and wanted to try some of the makeup. She did not ask her mom, because she knew her mom would say no. She was very sneaky and took the makeup bag to her room. + +She opened the bag and saw many colors and brushes. She picked up a big brush and dipped it in a dark powder. She rubbed it on her face, but it did not look like her mom. It looked like dirt. She tried another brush and another powder, but it did not look better. It looked worse. She looked like a clown. + +She heard her mom calling her name. She was scared and did not want her mom to see her face. She ran to the bathroom and tried to wash off the makeup. But it did not come off easily. It smeared and stained her skin. She ran to the closet and hid behind the clothes. + +Her mom came to her room and saw the makeup bag on the bed. She knew what Lily had done. She was not angry, but she was worried. She looked for Lily and found her in the closet. She saw her face and smiled. She hugged her and said, "Lily, you are beautiful just the way you are. You don't need makeup to look like me. You are my normal and perfect girl." She helped her clean her face and gave her a kiss. Lily felt happy and loved. She learned her lesson and did not play with her mom's makeup again. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys in the garden. One day, they found a big tube near the fence. It was shiny and had a hole at one end. + +"Let's play with the tube!" Tom said. He picked it up and looked inside. He saw nothing but dark. + +"No, Tom, don't play with the tube!" Sam said. He was scared. He thought the tube was not a toy. He thought it was something bad. + +But Tom did not listen to Sam. He insisted on playing with the tube. He put the tube on the ground and ran to get a stick. He wanted to poke the stick inside the tube and see what would happen. + +Sam followed Tom and tried to stop him. He grabbed Tom's arm and pulled him away from the tube. He said, "Tom, please, leave the tube alone! It might be dangerous!" + +But Tom was angry. He pushed Sam and said, "Let me go! I want to play with the tube! It's fun!" + +He ran back to the tube and poked the stick inside. He heard a loud bang and saw a flash of fire. He felt a pain in his hand and dropped the stick. He screamed and cried. + +Sam ran to Tom and saw that his hand was burned and bleeding. He was scared and sorry. He said, "Tom, I'm so sorry! I tried to warn you! The tube was not a toy! It was a firework!" + +Tom looked at his hand and felt ashamed. He realized that he was wrong and Sam was right. He said, "Sam, I'm so sorry! I should have listened to you! I was stupid and stubborn!" + +They hugged each other and cried. They hoped that their mom would come soon and help them. They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned to be careful and to listen to each other. +Lily liked to play with her plane. It was a red plane with yellow wings. She got it from her grandma for her birthday. It was her original plane, not like the other ones she had. + +She liked to make the plane move in the air. She would hold it in her hand and run around the room. She would make zoom and vroom sounds with her mouth. She would pretend the plane was flying to different places. + +One day, she decided to move the plane to the garden. She wanted to see if the plane could fly with the birds and the butterflies. She put on her shoes and her hat and went outside with her plane. + +She found a nice spot under a big tree. She threw the plane up in the air and watched it move. It moved very fast and very high. It looked like a real plane. Lily was very happy. + +But then, something bad happened. The plane moved too far and too high. It got stuck in the tree. Lily could not reach it. She tried to jump and to climb, but it was no use. She started to cry. She wanted her original plane back. +Sam and Lily liked to sing songs. They had a toy microphone that made their voices loud and funny. They took turns to sing their favorite songs and clap for each other. + +One day, it was very cold outside. Sam and Lily wanted to play with the microphone, but their mom said no. She said the microphone needed batteries and they had none. She said they could sing without the microphone, but Sam and Lily were sad. + +They went to their room and looked for the microphone. They found it under the bed. They decided to try it anyway. Maybe it still worked a little bit. They turned it on and sang a song. But nothing happened. The microphone was quiet. + +They tried to sing louder and louder, but the microphone did not make any sound. They got angry and frustrated. They started to argue and fight over the microphone. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +"Give it to me!" Sam yelled. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily screamed. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to their room. She saw them fighting and took the microphone away. She said they were being naughty and rude. She said they had to shut their mouths and say sorry. She said they could not play with the microphone until they learned to share and be nice. She put the microphone in a drawer and locked it. + +Sam and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said sorry to their mom and asked for a hug. Their mom hugged them and said she loved them. She said they could play with the microphone another day, when they had new batteries and good manners. She said they could still sing songs without the microphone, if they wanted to. + +Sam and Lily nodded and smiled. They decided to sing songs without the microphone. They sang softly and sweetly. They sang about the sun and the moon and the stars. They sang about their mom and their dad and their dog. They sang about being happy and being friends. They sang until they felt warm and cozy.

They wondered what it was. + +"Let's examine it!" Lily said. She used her hands and feet to move the sand away from the shiny thing. + +"It's an anchor!" Max said. He had seen one in a book. "It's for boats. Boats use anchors to stop in the water." + +"Wow, that's cool!" Lily said. "How did it get here?" + +"Maybe a boat lost it. Or maybe it's very old. Maybe it's from a pirate ship!" Max said. + +They imagined that the anchor belonged to a pirate ship that had buried treasure on the island. They pretended to be pirates and looked for clues. + +"Arrr, matey, where's the map?" Lily said in a pirate voice. + +"Shiver me timbers, I don't know!" Max said. "Maybe it's in this messy bottle!" + +He picked up a bottle that was lying near the anchor. It was dirty and had a cork in it. He pulled the cork out and looked inside. + +"Hey, there's something in here!" he said. He shook the bottle and a piece of paper fell out. + +"Is it the map?" Lily asked. + +Max unfolded the paper and looked at it. It had some words and pictures on it. + +"It's not a map. It's a letter!" he said. + +"What does it say?" Lily asked. + +Max tried to read the letter, but it had many big words that he did not understand. He only recognized a few words, like "beach" and "anchor" and "sorry". + +"I don't know. It's too hard to read. Maybe it's from someone who left the anchor here. Maybe they are sorry for making the beach messy." he said. + +Lily and Max looked at the anchor and the bottle and the letter. They felt sorry for the person who wrote the letter. They wondered who they were and why they left the anchor here. + +They decided to keep the letter as a souvenir. They also decided to clean up the beach and put the bottle and the can and the rope in the trash. + +They left the anchor where it was. They thought it was too big and heavy to move. They also thought it was part of the beach now. Maybe other kids would find it and imagine stories about it. + +They went back to their sand castle and played some more. They had fun on the beach. They also learned something new. They learned what an anchor was and how to examine it. They also learned to be careful with their things and not to make the beach messy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig, water and plant. They saw a big tree with many prunes.

They pull the doll from each other. They do not share. They make loud noises. + +Mom hears the noises. She comes to the room. She sees Lily and Ben fighting over the doll. She is not happy. She takes the doll from them. She says, "You need to share. Sharing is good. Sharing is fun. If you do not share, you cannot play with the doll." + +Lily and Ben feel sad. They do not want to lose the doll. They say sorry to each other. They say sorry to Mom. They ask Mom to give them the doll back. Mom smiles. She gives them the doll back. She says, "You can play with the doll together. You can take turns. You can make the doll happy. You can be happy too." + +Lily and Ben nod. They hug Mom. They hug each other. They play with the doll together. They share. They are organized. They put the doll in the right place. They are happy. +Tommy liked to play with his cart. He put his furry toys in it and pushed it around the yard. He pretended they were going on a trip to the zoo. He made noises like the animals and laughed. + +One day, his big sister Sally came outside. She saw Tommy's cart and wanted to play with it too. She said, "Give me your cart, Tommy. It's mine now. You can play with something else." + +Tommy was angry. He said, "No, Sally. It's my cart. I got it for my birthday. You have your own toys. Go away." + +Sally did not listen. She grabbed the cart and pulled it away from Tommy. She said, "Too bad, Tommy. I'm bigger and stronger than you. You can't stop me." + +Tommy tried to get his cart back. He ran after Sally and tugged on the cart. He cried, "Stop, Sally. Stop. You're hurting me. You're hurting my toys." + +But Sally did not stop. She dragged the cart across the yard. She did not see the big rock in the grass. She tripped over it and fell. The cart flew out of her hands and crashed into the fence. The furry toys flew out of the cart and landed on the ground. + +Tommy saw what happened. He ran to his cart and his toys. He was sad. His cart was broken. His toys were dirty and torn. He said, "Look what you did, Sally. You broke my cart. You ruined my toys. You're mean. I hate you." + +Sally got up. She was hurt. She had a scrape on her knee and a bump on her head. She said, "I'm sorry, Tommy. I didn't mean to. It was an accident. Please don't hate me." + +But Tommy did not listen. He remained angry. He picked up his cart and his toys and went inside. He did not want to play with Sally anymore. He did not want to talk to her anymore. He did not want to be her brother anymore. He slammed the door behind him. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a butterfly. It is yellow and black. It is very pretty. + +"Look, a butterfly!" Lily says. "I want to catch it!" + +She runs to the butterfly. She has a net. She wants to take the butterfly with the net. But the butterfly is fast. It flies away. + +"Wait for me!" Ben says. He runs after Lily. He has a jar. He wants to help Lily catch the butterfly. + +They chase the butterfly. They go near the flowers, the trees, the pond. But the butterfly is clever. It dodges the net and the jar. It does not want to be caught. + +"Stop, butterfly!" Lily says. "We just want to look at you!" + +But the butterfly does not stop. It flies higher and higher. Lily and Ben cannot reach it. + +They are sad. They sit on the grass. They look at the sky. + +"Maybe the butterfly is too intelligent for us," Ben says. + +"Maybe," Lily says. "But it is also very beautiful." + +They smile. They watch the butterfly. They are still friends. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls in her drawer. 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 have fun. He saw Anna's drawer and opened it. He took out her dolls and threw them on the floor. He laughed and said, "Dolls are silly. You are silly. I will make them suffer." + +Anna was very sad and angry. She ran to her brother and tried to stop him. She said, "No, Tom, no! Leave my dolls alone. They are mine. They are not silly. They are my friends. You are mean. You make them suffer." + +Tom did not listen to Anna. He kept throwing her dolls and breaking them. He said, "I don't care. They are just toys. They can't feel anything. They can't talk. They can't play. They are boring. You are boring. I will make them suffer more." + +Anna cried and cried. She felt very bad for her dolls. She loved them very much. She wanted to help them. She wanted to make them happy. She wanted Tom to go away. + +Then, their mom came into the room. She saw what Tom was doing. She saw Anna's tears. She was very angry and shocked. She said, "Tom, what are you doing? How can you be so cruel? You are hurting Anna and her dolls. You are making them suffer. You should be ashamed. You need to say sorry and fix them. Now." + +Tom was scared of his mom. He knew he did something very bad. He felt sorry for Anna and her dolls. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I'm sorry, mom. I was just playing. I didn't mean to make them suffer. I will fix them. I will be nice." + +Anna stopped crying. She looked at Tom. She saw he was sorry. She said, "Thank you, Tom. Thank you, mom. I forgive you, Tom. But please don't do it again. Please be gentle with my dolls. They are not boring. They are fun. They are blue. Blue is my favorite color. Do you want to play with them with me?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "Okay, Anna. I will play with them with you. I will be gentle. I will learn their names and stories. I will make them happy. I like blue too. Blue is a nice color." + +Anna smiled. She hugged Tom. She hugged her mom. She hugged her dolls. She was happy again. She said, "I love you, Tom. I love you, mom. I love you, dolls. You are my family. You are my friends. You don't have to suffer anymore." +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red truck. They liked to drive the truck around the yard and make loud noises. + +One day, a new boy moved in next door. His name was Sam. He had a toy too, but it was not ordinary. It was a shiny blue rocket that could fly in the air. Sam saw Lily and Ben playing with their truck and wanted to join them. + +"Hi, I'm Sam. Can I play with you?" he asked. + +"Sure, you can play with us. What is your toy?" Lily said. + +"It's a rocket. It can fly very high and fast. Do you want to see?" Sam said. + +"Yes, please. That sounds fun!" Ben said. + +Sam showed them how his rocket worked. He pressed a button and the rocket zoomed up in the sky. It made a whoosh sound and left a trail of smoke. Lily and Ben watched with wonder. + +"Wow, that's amazing! Can we try?" Lily asked. + +"Okay, but be careful. It's not easy to control." Sam said. + +He gave them the rocket and the controller. Lily and Ben took turns to fly the rocket. They had a lot of fun, but they also missed their truck. + +"Can we play with your truck too?" Sam asked. + +"Sure, you can play with our truck. It's not as cool as your rocket, but it's still fun." Ben said. + +They brought their truck and their rocket to the middle of the yard. They decided to unite them and make a new toy. They tied the rocket to the back of the truck with a rope. They called it a rocket truck. + +"Now we have the best toy ever!" Lily said. + +They drove the rocket truck around the yard, making loud noises and flying in the air. They laughed and cheered. They were happy to share their toys and make a new friend. They played until it was time to go home. They agreed to play again tomorrow. They said goodbye and hugged each other. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the landscape with the trees, the flowers and the hills. They had a big box of crayons and some paper. They wanted to draw the landscape. + +"Look, I draw a tree with green and brown," Lily said, showing her paper to Ben. + +"I draw a flower with red and yellow," Ben said, showing his paper to Lily. + +They were happy with their drawings. But then they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and gray. It looked like rain. + +"Oh no, it will rain soon. We have to go inside," Lily said. + +"But I want to draw more. I want to draw the hills and the sky," Ben said. + +He did not want to stop drawing. He liked the landscape. + +"Please, Ben, we have to go. Mommy will be angry if we get wet," Lily said. + +She tried to take Ben's hand. But Ben pulled away. He did not want to go. + +"No, I want to stay. You go, I don't care," Ben said. + +He was stubborn. He did not listen to Lily. + +Lily was sad and scared. She did not want to leave Ben alone. She did not want to go inside without him. But she did not want to get wet either. She did not know what to do. + +She looked at the cloud. It was getting bigger and darker. She heard a loud noise. It was thunder. + +"Ben, please, come with me. It will be difficult to draw when it rains. The paper will be wet and the crayons will be messy. We can draw more later, when the sun comes out," Lily said. + +She tried to be nice and calm. She hoped Ben would listen to her. + +Ben looked at the cloud. He saw a flash of light. It was lightning. He heard another loud noise. It was thunder again. + +He felt scared. He did not like the thunder and the lightning. He did not want to be alone in the garden. + +He looked at Lily. She was holding his hand. She was smiling at him. + +"Okay, Lily, let's go inside. Mommy will allow us to draw more later, right?" Ben said. + +He decided to go with Lily. He did not want to be stubborn anymore. + +"Yes, Ben, let's go. Mommy will be happy to see our drawings. And we can draw more later, when the sun comes out," Lily said. + +She was happy that Ben changed his mind. She hugged him. + +They ran inside the house. They took their drawings and their crayons. They did not get wet. + +They showed their drawings to Mommy. She praised them. She said they were very good. She said they could draw more later, when the sun came out. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They liked to draw the landscape. They liked to play together. They learned to listen to each other. They waited for the sun to come out. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a truck with ice-cream. They run to the truck and ask for ice-cream. + +"Can I have a cone with chocolate and vanilla, please?" Tom says. + +"Can I have a cup with strawberry and banana, please?" Mia says. + +The man in the truck gives them ice-cream. They are happy. They sit on a bench and eat their ice-cream. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is hungry. He sees the ice-cream. He jumps on the bench and takes Tom's cone. He runs away with the cone. + +Tom is upset. He cries. He has no ice-cream. + +"Bad dog! Give me back my ice-cream!" Tom shouts. + +Mia is sad. She sees Tom cry. She wants to help him. She has an idea. + +"Tom, don't cry. You can have some of my ice-cream. I can share with you." Mia says. + +She gives Tom her cup. She spoons some strawberry and banana ice-cream for him. Tom stops crying. He smiles. He tastes the ice-cream. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. This ice-cream is yummy." Tom says. + +They eat the ice-cream together. They are happy again. They forget about the dog. They play in the park. They have fun. +Anna and Ben were twins who loved to play in the snow. They had a big snowman in their yard, with a hat, a scarf, and a carrot nose. They also had a sled that they liked to ride down the hill. + +One day, their grandma came to visit them. She brought them a present each: a pair of mittens. They were soft and warm and had different colors on each finger. Anna's mittens were red, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Ben's mittens were orange, pink, brown, black, and white. + +"Thank you, grandma!" they said, and hugged her. + +"You're welcome, my dears," she said. "These mittens are very special. They belonged to your great-great-grandma, who made them herself. They are ancient, but they still work very well. They will keep your hands cozy and happy in the cold." + +Anna and Ben put on their mittens and ran outside to play. They made snowballs and threw them at each other. They made snow angels and snow forts. They rode their sled down the hill and laughed. + +But then, something bad happened. As they were going down the hill, their sled hit a rock and flipped over. Anna and Ben fell off and rolled in the snow. They were not hurt, but they were very scared. And they lost their mittens. + +"Oh no!" Anna cried. "Where are our mittens?" + +"I don't know!" Ben said. "They must have flown away!" + +They looked around, but they could not see their mittens anywhere. They were buried under the snow, or carried away by the wind. They felt very sad and cold. + +They ran back to their grandma, who was waiting for them at the door. She saw their faces and knew something was wrong. + +"What happened, my dears?" she asked. + +"We lost our mittens, grandma!" they said. "The sled crashed and we fell and we lost our mittens!" + +They showed her their bare hands, which were red and shivering. + +"Oh, you poor things!" she said. "Don't worry, we'll find your mittens. Come inside, and I'll make you some hot chocolate. Then we'll go back outside and look for them." + +She took them inside and wrapped them in a big blanket. She made them some hot chocolate and gave them some cookies. She told them stories about their great-great-grandma, who was brave and clever and kind. She said that she loved her mittens very much, and that they had a magic power: they could always find their way back to their owner. + +"Really?" Anna and Ben asked. + +"Really," she said. "You just have to believe and wait." + +They drank their hot chocolate and ate their cookies. They felt warm and happy again. They thanked their grandma and hugged her. + +"Can we go outside and look for our mittens now?" they asked. + +"Of course," she said. "But first, let me give you something to keep your hands warm." + +She went to her bag and took out two pairs of gloves. They were not as soft and colorful as the mittens, but they were new and nice. She gave them to Anna and Ben. + +"Here you go," she said. "These are for you. They are not ancient, but they work very well. They will keep your hands cozy and happy in the cold." + +"Thank you, grandma!" they said, and put on their gloves. + +They went outside with their grandma and looked for their mittens. They searched under the snow, behind the trees, on the roof, in the bushes. But they could not find their mittens anywhere. They felt very sad and sorry. + +"Maybe they are gone forever," Anna said. + +"Maybe they don't love us," Ben said. + +"No, no, no," their grandma said. "They are not gone forever. They do love you. They are just playing hide and seek with you. They will come back to you when they are ready. You just have to believe and wait." + +They nodded, but they did not feel very hopeful. + +They decided to go back to their snowman and say hello. They walked to their yard and saw their snowman. He was still there, with his hat, his scarf, and his carrot nose. But he had something else on his hands. He had their mittens. + +"Look!" Anna shouted. "There are our mittens!" + +"Wow!" Ben exclaimed. "They are on the snowman!" + +They ran to their snowman and saw their mittens. They were the same as before, soft and warm and colorful. They looked happy and smiling. + +"Hello, mittens!" Anna and Ben said. "We missed you!" + +"Hello, Anna and Ben!" the mittens said. "We missed you too!" +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They liked to splash each other and laugh. + +"Look, Lily, I have sunglasses!" Tom said. He put on his dad's sunglasses. They were big and shiny. "I look cool!" + +"Let me try!" Lily said. She reached for the sunglasses. Tom moved away. "No, they are mine! They are expensive! Dad said so!" + +Lily was sad. She wanted to play with the sunglasses too. She had an idea. She filled a cup with water and hid behind a bush. She waited for Tom to come near. + +Tom walked around the garden. He felt proud of his sunglasses. He did not see Lily. He did not see the cup. He walked past the bush. + +Splash! Lily threw the water at Tom. It hit his face and his sunglasses. Tom was wet and shocked. He dropped the sunglasses. They fell on the ground. + +"Ha ha, I soaked you!" Lily said. She ran to the sunglasses. She picked them up. She put them on. "Now they are mine!" + +Tom was angry. He ran after Lily. He tried to grab the sunglasses. They fought and pulled. The sunglasses broke. They heard a snap. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Lily said. They looked at the sunglasses. They were in two pieces. They were ruined. + +They heard a voice. It was their dad. He came out of the house. He saw the sunglasses. He saw their faces. He was not happy. + +"What did you do?" he asked. "Those were my expensive sunglasses! You are in big trouble!" + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They wished they had shared. They wished they had been careful. They wished they had not soaked each other. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, their mom cooked steak for dinner. It smelled very good and they were very hungry. + +Mom put two plates of steak on the table. One plate had a big steak and the other plate had a small steak. She said, "Tom, you are older by two minutes, so you can choose which plate you want. But be fair and share with your sister." + +Tom looked at the plates and saw the big steak. He wanted it all for himself. He thought, "I am older, so I deserve the big steak. Lily can have the small steak. She won't mind." He was selfish. + +He grabbed the big steak and put it on his plate. He said, "I choose this one. It is mine. You can have the other one, Lily." + +Lily was sad and angry. She said, "That is not fair, Tom. You are selfish. You took the big steak and left me the small steak. You should share with me. We are twins." + +Tom did not listen. He started to eat the big steak. He said, "Too bad, Lily. This is my steak. You can't have any. It is yummy." + +But then, something bad happened. Tom choked on a piece of steak. He could not breathe. He coughed and coughed. He was scared. + +Lily saw Tom choking. She wanted to help him. She remembered what mom taught her. She ran behind Tom and hugged him. She pushed on his tummy. She tried to prevent him from choking. + +The piece of steak came out of Tom's mouth. He could breathe again. He was relieved. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You saved me. You are a good sister." + +Lily said, "You are welcome, Tom. I am glad you are okay. But you should not be selfish. You should share with me. We are twins." + +Tom felt sorry. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was selfish. I should share with you. We are twins. Here, you can have half of my steak. I am sorry." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. You are a good brother. Let's share the steak. It is yummy." + +Mom came back and saw Tom and Lily sharing the steak. She was proud of them. She said, "Well done, Tom and Lily. You learned a good lesson. Sharing is caring. You are good twins." + +The end. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the yard. One day, Ben said, "Lily, do you want to see my dad's garage? He has a lot of cool things there." + +Lily was curious, but also fearful. She had never been in the garage before. She heard noises and saw shadows there. She said, "I don't know, Ben. Is it safe?" + +Ben nodded. "Yes, it is. Don't be scared. I will show you. Come on, I invite you." He took her hand and led her to the garage door. + +Lily followed him, but she felt her heart beat fast. She wondered what was inside the garage. She hoped it was not something bad. + +Ben opened the door and turned on the light. He smiled and said, "Look, Lily, this is my dad's garage. He has a car, a bike, a tool box, and a radio. He lets me play with them sometimes. Do you want to try?" + +Lily looked around and saw the things Ben said. They were not scary at all. They were shiny and colorful and fun. She felt her fear go away. She said, "Wow, Ben, this is amazing. Yes, I want to try. Thank you for inviting me." + +They played in the garage for a long time. They pretended to drive the car, to ride the bike, to fix things with the tools, and to listen to music on the radio. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the noises and the shadows. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to jump on the trampoline and make funny noises. They were having fun until they saw something unknown near the fence. It was big and black and had four legs and a long tail. + +"What is that?" Lily asked, pointing at the unknown thing. + +"I don't know," Ben said, feeling scared. "Maybe it is a monster." + +The unknown thing moved closer to them and made a loud roar. Lily and Ben screamed and ran to the house. They slammed the door behind them and locked it. + +"Mommy, mommy, there is a monster in the backyard!" Lily cried. + +"Monster? What monster?" Mommy asked, coming out of the kitchen. + +She looked out the window and saw the unknown thing. She laughed and said, "That is not a monster, that is a faucet." + +"A faucet?" Lily and Ben repeated, confused. + +"Yes, a faucet. It is a thing that makes water come out. Daddy was fixing it this morning, but he forgot to turn it off. That is why it is making noise and spraying water everywhere. Come on, let's go and turn it off." + +Mommy took Lily and Ben by the hand and opened the door. They walked slowly to the faucet, still feeling a little afraid. Mommy reached the faucet and turned a knob. The noise and the water stopped. + +"See, it is just a faucet. It is not scary at all," Mommy said, smiling. + +Lily and Ben looked at the faucet and felt silly. They realized it was not a monster, just a thing they did not know. They laughed and hugged Mommy. + +"Thank you, Mommy, for showing us the faucet. Can we play with it?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but only when Daddy is here. He will show you how to use it safely. Now, how about we go back to the trampoline and jump some more?" Mommy asked. + +"Yay, let's go!" Lily and Ben said, happy. + +They ran back to the trampoline and jumped and jumped and jumped. They forgot about the faucet and the monster. They only remembered how much they loved to play. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big bush with red berries. They ran to the bush and picked some berries. + +"Look, Tom, these berries are yummy!" Lily said. She put one in her mouth and smiled. + +"Can I have some, Lily?" Tom asked. He was hungry too. + +"Sure, Tom, here you go." Lily said. She gave him some berries. They ate the berries and felt happy. + +But then, a big bird came. It was a crow. It saw the berries and wanted them. It flew to the bush and cawed loudly. + +"Go away, crow, these are our berries!" Lily said. She waved her arms and tried to scare the crow. + +"No, they are mine, mine, mine!" the crow said. It pecked at the berries and snapped at Lily and Tom. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not want to fight with the crow. They decided to yield the berries to the crow and run away. + +"Come on, Tom, let's go. We can find something else to eat." Lily said. She took Tom's hand and they ran to the slide. + +The crow was happy. It ate all the berries and flew away. + +The end. +Tommy likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. Sometimes he makes noises like vroom and beep. + +One day, Tommy's mom gives him a new car. It is a big blue car with shiny wheels and a loud horn. Tommy is very happy. He says thank you and hugs his mom. He takes the car to his room and puts it with his other cars. + +Tommy wants to play with his new car, but he has to wait. His mom says he has to go to the dentist first. Tommy does not like the dentist. He says no and cries. His mom says he has to be brave and patient. She says the dentist will be nice and gentle. She says he can play with his car when they come back. + +Tommy and his mom go to the dentist. Tommy is scared. He sees a big chair and a bright light. He sees a man with a white coat and a mask. He hears a drill and a suction. He does not want to sit in the chair. He hides behind his mom. + +The man smiles and says hello. He says his name is Dr. Lee. He says he is a friend of Tommy's mom. He says he likes cars too. He shows Tommy a small blue car on his desk. Tommy recognizes the car. It is the same as his new car. Tommy feels curious. He comes out from behind his mom. He looks at the car. + +Dr. Lee says he can play with the car if he sits in the chair. He says he will check his teeth and make them clean and healthy. He says it will not hurt. He says he will give him a sticker and a balloon when he is done. Tommy thinks for a moment. He likes stickers and balloons. He likes his new car. He decides to be brave and patient. He nods and sits in the chair. He holds the car in his hand. He smiles at Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee smiles back. He says good boy and starts his work. Tommy is proud of himself. He thinks he will have fun with his car when he goes home. +Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with toys. One day, they found a gun in a box. They did not know what it was. They thought it was a toy. + +"Look, Tom, a new toy!" Sam said. He picked up the gun and pointed it at Tom. "Bang, bang, you are dead!" + +Tom laughed. He did not know it was a real gun. He did not know it could hurt him. He took the gun from Sam and pointed it at him. "No, you are dead!" he said. He pulled the trigger. + +The gun made a loud noise. Sam fell down. He did not move. He did not laugh. He had a hole in his chest. He was bleeding. He was pale. + +Tom was scared. He dropped the gun. He ran to Sam. He tried to wake him up. He tried to save him. But it was too late. Sam was dead. + +Tom cried. He did not know what to do. He did not know he had killed his friend. He wished he had never found the gun. He wished he had never played with it. + +The moral of the story is: Guns are not toys. They are dangerous. They can kill. Do not play with guns. Do not touch guns. Tell an adult if you see a gun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a lot of toys and books to have fun with. But they also made a big mess. The grass was full of blocks, balls, dolls and cars. + +"Look, Lily, I have a red flame!" Ben said. He held a match in his hand. He had found it in the garage. He did not know it was dangerous. + +"Wow, Ben, that is pretty!" Lily said. She wanted to touch the flame. She did not know it was hot. + +"No, Lily, don't touch it!" Mom said. She saw them from the window. She ran to the garden. She was scared. She took the match from Ben and removed the flame. She threw the match in the bin. + +"Ben, Lily, you should never play with matches. They can hurt you and start a fire. Do you understand?" Mom said. She was angry and worried. + +"Yes, Mom, we understand. We are sorry. We did not know." Ben and Lily said. They felt bad. + +"Come on, let's go inside and have a snack. But first, you have to tidy up the garden. Put all your toys and books back in their places. And don't touch anything in the garage again." Mom said. She hugged them and smiled. + +"OK, Mom, we will." Ben and Lily said. They learned their lesson. They picked up their toys and books and made the garden tidy. They followed Mom to the house and had a yummy snack. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they did not like the big dog that lived next door. The dog was black and loud and always barked at them. They hated the dog. + +One day, the dog got out of his yard and ran to the park. Lily and Ben saw him and got scared. They ran to the slide and climbed up. The dog followed them and jumped on the slide. He wanted to play, but they did not know that. They thought he wanted to bite them. + +"Go away, bad dog!" Lily shouted. "We don't like you!" + +The dog did not understand. He wagged his tail and licked Lily's face. He thought she was his friend. Lily screamed and pushed him away. She hit his chest with her hand. The dog whimpered and ran away. + +Ben hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. He's gone now. He can't hurt us." + +But Lily felt bad. She saw the dog's sad eyes and heard his cry. She realized he was not mean, just lonely. He was harmless. + +"Ben, I think we were wrong," she said. "The dog was not bad. He just wanted to play with us. Maybe we should be nice to him next time." + +Ben nodded. He felt bad too. He said, "Maybe you're right, Lily. Maybe he's a good dog after all. Let's go find him and say sorry." + +Lily and Ben got off the slide and looked for the dog. They found him hiding under a tree. He was afraid they would hit him again. They called his name and smiled. They petted his fur and gave him a treat. The dog wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy. He had new friends. + +Lily and Ben learned a lesson. They learned not to judge by looks or sounds. They learned to be kind and brave. They learned to love the dog. They did not hate him anymore. +One day, Lily and Max went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers of different colors and shapes. Lily liked the pink ones and Max liked the yellow ones. They picked some flowers and gave them to their mom. + +"Thank you, my sweeties. These flowers are incredible. They smell so good and look so pretty," mom said. + +"Mom, can flowers talk?" Lily asked. + +"No, flowers can't talk. But they can show us how they feel. When they are happy, they open up and shine. When they are sad, they close up and droop," mom explained. + +"How do they feel now?" Max asked. + +"They feel happy, because you are gentle and kind to them. You don't hurt them or pull them out.

He told him that he could learn from the book, but he could also use his own imagination and creativity. He told him that he could make his own space, with his own colors and shapes. He told him that his drawings were not old and boring, they were unique and special. + +Tim felt better and thanked his dad. He picked up the book and the papers and looked at them again.

Lily said. + +She had an idea. She remembered that they had a map of the park in their backpack. They had made it together as a memory of their fun times.

They liked to look at the old things that their grandma had. They found a box with a big button on it. The button was red and shiny. + +"What is this?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's a toy.

She held it in her hands and felt its warmth. + +The ball spoke to them. It said, "Hello, I am a star. I came from the sky. I was lost and lonely. Thank you for finding me." + +Lily and Ben were surprised. They had never heard a ball talk before. + +"Hello, star. We are Lily and Ben. We are happy to meet you. How did you get here?" Lily asked. + +"I was flying with my friends, but a big storm came. It was loud and scary. It blew me away from them. I fell down and landed in this box. It was dark and smelly. I was sad and scared. I waited for someone to help me," the star said. + +"That's awful. We're sorry you had to go through that. Do you want to go back to the sky?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, I do. I miss my friends. They are looking for me. But I don't know how to get back. Can you help me?" the star asked. + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment. They wanted to help the star, but they also liked it. It was so nice and friendly. They wondered if they could keep it as a pet. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They had an idea. + +"We can help you, star. But can we ask you something first?" Lily said. + +"Of course. What is it?" the star said. + +"Can we play with you for a while? You are so fun and cool. We want to be your friends too," Ben said. + +The star smiled. It liked Lily and Ben. They were kind and curious. + +"Sure, I would love that. Let's play together. But when the night comes, I have to go back to the sky. Is that okay?" the star said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They agreed. They took the star out of the box and ran downstairs. They played with it all day. They showed it their toys, their books, their garden. They laughed and sang and danced. They had a wonderful time. + +When the night came, they went outside. They looked at the sky. It was full of stars. They sparkled and twinkled. + +The star in Lily's hands glowed brighter. It said, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are the best friends I ever had. You made me happy. I will never forget you." + +Lily and Ben hugged the star. They said, "Thank you, star. You are the best star we ever met. You made us happy. We will never forget you." + +They threw the star in the air. It flew up and joined its friends. It waved goodbye to Lily and Ben. They waved back. + +They watched the star until it was out of sight. They felt sad, but also happy. They had a special adventure. They had a special friend. + +They went back inside. They said goodnight to each other. They went to bed. They dreamed of the star. They hoped to see it again. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a soldier that he liked very much. He made the soldier march and shoot and say "bang bang". Lily had a doll that she liked very much. She made the doll dance and sing and say "la la la". + +"Look at my soldier, Lily. He is very brave and strong. He can fight anyone," Ben said. + +"Look at my doll, Ben. She is very pretty and nice. She can make anyone happy," Lily said. + +They played for a long time, but then they got bored. They wanted to do something else. + +"Let's play clap, clap, clap," Ben said. "It is a fun game. We clap our hands and say clap, clap, clap." + +"OK, Ben. I like clap, clap, clap," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to break our toys." + +They put their toys on the couch and started to play clap, clap, clap. They clapped their hands and said clap, clap, clap. They laughed and smiled. + +But then, something bad happened. Ben clapped his hands too hard and too fast. He hit Lily's doll by mistake. The doll fell from the couch and hit the floor. The doll's head broke off. The doll's dress tore. The doll's hair came out. + +Lily saw what happened and started to cry. She ran to her doll and picked it up. She hugged it and said "no, no, no". + +"Ben, you broke my doll. You are very mean and bad. I hate you," Lily said. + +Ben felt very sorry and sad. He did not mean to break Lily's doll. He wanted to say sorry and make Lily happy. But Lily did not want to talk to him. She ran to her room and slammed the door. + +Ben was left alone in the living room. He looked at his soldier and felt very lonely. He wished he had not played clap, clap, clap. He wished he had been more careful. He wished he had a friend. +Tom and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used some things from the cupboard, like salt and sugar and flour. + +"Let me put some salt in the soup," Tom said. He reached for the salt shaker on the shelf. + +"No, let me do it," Mia said. She grabbed the salt shaker from Tom's hand. She shook it hard over the pot. + +"Stop, stop, stop!" Tom shouted. "That's too much salt! The soup will be bad!" + +Mia did not stop. She liked to shake the salt shaker. It made a funny noise. She laughed. + +Tom was angry. He wanted to make the soup good. He looked around for something else to put in the pot. He saw a black bottle on the counter. He did not know what it was, but it looked like sauce. He opened the bottle and poured some in the soup. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Mia asked. She stopped shaking the salt shaker. She smelled something strange. + +"I'm making the soup better," Tom said. He stirred the pot with a spoon. + +Mia came closer and looked at the soup. It was black and bubbly. It smelled bad. She felt sick. + +"Tom, that's not sauce," she said. "That's vinegar! You ruined the soup!" + +Tom tasted the soup with the spoon. He spit it out. It was sour and salty. He felt sick too. + +"Oops," he said. "I'm sorry, Mia. I did not know." + +They both looked at the pot. They did not want to eat the soup. They did not want to play chefs anymore. They decided to play something else. They put the pots and pans and spoons and bowls back in the cupboard. They also put the salt shaker and the vinegar bottle back on the shelf. They hoped their mom would not find out. They went to the living room to play with their toys. +Anna was very happy. She had a new suit. It was pink and soft. She wanted to show it to her friend Lily. + +She ran to the door and put on her shoes. But she did not tie them well. She was in a hurry. + +"Bye, Mommy!" she said. "I am going to Lily's house!" + +"Be careful, Anna!" Mommy said. "Your shoes are loose. You might slip and fall." + +Anna did not listen. She ran out of the door and down the stairs. She saw Lily waiting for her on the sidewalk. + +"Hi, Lily!" she shouted. "Look at my new suit!" + +But as she ran, she stepped on her shoelace. She slipped and fell. She scraped her knee and elbow. Her new suit got dirty and torn. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "It hurts!" + +Lily ran to her and helped her up. She saw the blood and the dirt. + +"Oh, Anna, I am sorry!" she said. "Your new suit is ruined!" + +Anna felt sad and angry. She wanted to cry. She wished she had listened to Mommy. + +"Let's go back to your house," Lily said. "Maybe Mommy can fix your suit. And she can put a band-aid on your knee and elbow." + +Anna nodded. She held Lily's hand and walked slowly. She learned a lesson. She would always tie her shoes well. And she would always be careful. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big wooden box under a bush. They opened it and saw many shiny things inside. They were very happy and thought they had found a treasure. + +"Wow, look at these coins and jewels!" Tim said. "We are rich!" + +"Let's take them to our room and hide them!" Sam said. "We don't want anyone to know!" + +They carried the box to their room and locked the door. They dumped the treasure on their bed and started to count and admire it. They felt very proud and greedy. + +Meanwhile, their elderly grandma came to visit them. She knocked on their door and asked, "Tim, Sam, are you there? I brought you some cookies and milk." + +But Tim and Sam did not answer. They did not want to share their treasure with anyone, not even their grandma. They ignored her and kept playing with their treasure. + +Their grandma felt sad and confused. She went to the kitchen and saw a note on the table. It said, "Tim and Sam, this is a gift from your grandpa. He made this treasure box for you when he was a sailor. He wanted you to have fun and learn about the world. He also hid a surprise inside. To find it, you have to soak the box in water and wait for a while. Love, Grandma." + +Their grandma smiled and thought, "Maybe they will find the note later and discover the surprise. I hope they will appreciate their grandpa's gift and be more kind and grateful." + +She left the cookies and milk on the table and went home. + +Tim and Sam played with their treasure until they got bored. They decided to hide the box under their bed and go to the kitchen for a snack. They saw the cookies and milk and ate them. They also saw the note and read it. + +"Soak the box in water? What does that mean?" Tim asked. + +"Maybe there is more treasure inside!" Sam said. "Let's try it!" + +They took the box to the bathroom and filled the tub with water. They put the box in the water and waited. They saw bubbles coming out of the box and heard a strange sound. They got curious and excited. + +They lifted the box out of the water and opened it. They gasped in surprise. The treasure was gone! Instead, they saw a map, a compass, a book, and a letter. The letter said, "Dear Tim and Sam, this is your grandpa. I hope you enjoyed the treasure I made for you. It was not real, but it was fun. The real treasure is inside this box. It is a map of the world, a compass to guide you, a book to teach you, and a letter to tell you how much I love you. I want you to explore the world, learn new things, and be good people. That is the best treasure you can have. Remember, sharing is caring, and kindness is priceless. Love, Grandpa." + +Tim and Sam felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they had been selfish and rude. They had wasted their grandpa's gift and hurt their grandma's feelings. They wished they could say sorry and thank you to them. + +They ran to the phone and called their grandma. They told her they had found the surprise and apologized for their behavior. They asked her to come back and see the real treasure. They also said they loved her and their grandpa very much. + +Their grandma was very happy and proud. She came back and hugged them. She looked at the map, the compass, the book, and the letter. She said, "This is a wonderful treasure indeed. Your grandpa was a wise and generous man. He wanted you to have a rich and happy life. I'm glad you learned your lesson and appreciate his gift. Now, let's have some fun and learn together." + +They smiled and nodded. They put the treasure on the table and started to look at it. They felt curious and excited. They also felt grateful and kind. + +The end. + +Moral: The real treasure is not money or things, but knowledge and love. Sharing and kindness are more valuable than greed and pride. +Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build tall towers and houses and bridges. They were having fun and making noises with their mouths. + +Suddenly, they felt the floor shake and heard a loud boom. The blocks fell down and the pictures on the wall moved. Lily and Ben were scared and hugged each other. They did not know what was happening. It was an earthquake. + +Mom and Dad ran into the living room and saw the mess. They were worried and picked up Lily and Ben. They told them it was okay and they were safe. They said the earthquake was over and it was not their fault. They hugged them and kissed them. + +They went outside and saw that some of the houses and trees were broken. They also saw a big crack in the ground. It was very long and deep. Mom and Dad said the earthquake had revealed the crack. They said it was part of the earth and sometimes it moved. + +Lily and Ben looked at the crack and wondered what was inside. They saw a man walking near the crack. He was holding a stick and a bag. He looked angry and rude. He shouted at them and told them to go away. He said the crack was his and he wanted to find something. + +Mom and Dad told Lily and Ben to ignore the man and come with them. They said the man was not nice and he should not be there. They said they would go to their friends' house and stay there until their house was fixed. They said they loved them and they were proud of them. + +Lily and Ben nodded and followed Mom and Dad. They still felt a little scared, but they also felt curious and brave. They hoped the man would not find anything in the crack and he would leave. They hoped the earthquake would not come back and they could play with their blocks again. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were monkeys and swing on the vines. The vines were long and green and hung from the big tree. + +"Look, Lila, I found a big vine!" Ben said. He grabbed the vine and pulled it. "Let's swing on it!" + +"OK, Ben, that looks fun!" Lila said. She ran to the vine and held it with Ben. They counted to three and jumped. The vine swung them high in the air. They laughed and shouted. + +But then, they heard a loud snap. The vine broke and they fell to the ground. They were not hurt, but they were sad. The vine was empty. It had no more leaves or flowers. + +"Uh-oh, we broke the vine," Lila said. She looked at the empty vine. "It was so pretty and fun." + +"I'm sorry, Lila," Ben said. He looked at the empty vine too. "It was my fault. I pulled too hard." + +They hugged each other and said they were sorry. Then, they heard a voice. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" It was Mama. She came to the garden and saw the broken vine. + +"Mama, we were playing monkeys and we broke the vine," Lila said. She pointed to the empty vine. + +Mama looked at the vine and smiled. "Don't worry, kids, it's OK. The vine is not dead. It will grow back soon. And I have a surprise for you. Come with me." + +She took them to the other side of the garden. There, they saw a big basket. It was full of fruits and vegetables. + +"Look, kids, these are from the garden too. They are fresh and yummy. Do you want to help me make a salad?" + +"Yes, Mama, we do!" Lila and Ben said. They forgot about the empty vine and ran to the basket. They picked up the fruits and vegetables and followed Mama to the kitchen. + +"Let's see, what do we have here?" Mama said. "We have tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, apples, grapes, and cheese. We can make a delicious salad with these. And we can include some nuts and dressing too. Do you like nuts and dressing?" + +"Yes, Mama, we do!" Lila and Ben said. They helped Mama wash and chop the fruits and vegetables. They put them in a big bowl and mixed them with nuts and dressing. + +"Wow, this salad looks amazing!" Mama said. "And it smells good too. Do you want to try some?" + +"Yes, Mama, we do!" Lila and Ben said. They took some salad and ate it. They liked it very much. It was crunchy and sweet and tangy. + +"Mmm, this is the best salad ever!" Lila said. + +"Thank you, Mama, for the surprise!" Ben said. + +"You're welcome, kids," Mama said. "I'm glad you like it. And I'm proud of you for playing nicely and saying sorry. You are good kids. And good monkeys too." + +They laughed and hugged Mama. They finished the salad and had some juice. They were happy and full. They did not mind the empty vine anymore. They knew it would grow back soon. And they had more fun things to do in the garden. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, Anna gets a new doll. It is very pretty and has a pink dress. Ben likes the doll too. He wants to play with it. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Ben asks Anna. + +"No, it is mine. Go away!" Anna says. She is mean to Ben. She hates to share. + +Ben is sad. He goes to his mom. His mom gives him a hug and a message. The message is from his grandma. She says she loves him and sends him a gift. The gift is a car. It is very fast and has a blue color. Ben likes the car a lot. He wants to show it to Anna. + +"Look at my car!" Ben says to Anna. "It is from my grandma. She loves me." + +Anna sees the car. She thinks it is adorable. She wants to play with it. + +"Can I play with your car?" Anna asks Ben. + +Ben remembers how Anna was mean to him. He is angry. He wants to say no. But then he thinks of his mom and his grandma. They are kind and loving. They teach him to share and be nice. + +"Okay, you can play with my car. But you have to share your doll too." Ben says to Anna. + +Anna feels sorry. She knows she was wrong. She says sorry to Ben. She gives him her doll. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I am sorry I was mean to you." Anna says. + +Ben and Anna play with the doll and the car. They have fun. They are happy. They learn to share and be kind. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. Hate is bad. Love is good. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them zoom around and make noises. Tim had a red car and Lily had a blue car. + +"Look, my car is faster than yours!" Tim said, zooming his car past Lily's. + +"No, it's not! My car is faster!" Lily said, zooming her car after Tim's. + +They zoomed their cars around the room, trying to catch each other. They had fun, but they also wanted to win. + +They zoomed their cars to the window, where they saw the ocean. The ocean was big and blue and shiny. They liked to look at the ocean. + +"Wow, the ocean is so pretty!" Lily said, stopping her car. + +"Yeah, it is!" Tim said, stopping his car too. + +They put their cars on the window sill and watched the ocean. They saw some boats and some birds and some waves. + +"Look, there's a big boat!" Tim said, pointing. + +"Can we go on the boat?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe someday. Boats are fun!" Tim said. + +They smiled and imagined going on the boat. + +But then, a rude boy came and saw their cars. He liked their cars. He wanted their cars. + +He grabbed Tim's red car and Lily's blue car from the window sill. He ran away with them. + +"Hey, give us back our cars!" Tim shouted. + +"Those are our cars!" Lily cried. + +They ran after the rude boy, but he was too fast. He zoomed away with their cars. + +Tim and Lily were sad and angry. They wanted their cars back. They did not like the rude boy. + +They went to their mom and told her what happened. Their mom hugged them and said she was sorry. + +She said she would help them find their cars. She said the rude boy was wrong to take their cars. She said they should always share and be nice. + +Tim and Lily nodded and said they would. They hoped they would get their cars back. They hoped the rude boy would learn to be nice too. +Mira and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big tree with many apples. They want to pick some apples to eat. + +"Look, Ben, the apples are red and shiny. Let's pick some!" Mira says. + +"OK, Mira, but how do we reach them? They are too high for us." Ben says. + +Mira thinks for a moment. She sees a big rock near the tree. She has an idea. + +"I have an opinion, Ben. We can climb on the rock and then pick the apples. Do you want to try?" Mira says. + +Ben nods. He likes Mira's opinion. They go to the rock and climb on it. They are careful not to fall. They reach the apples and pick some. They are happy. + +"Yay, we did it, Mira! The apples are so sweet and juicy. You have a good opinion." Ben says. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You are calm and brave. I like to play with you." Mira says. + +They share the apples and smile. They enjoy their snack in the park. They are good friends. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But then they saw a big gray cloud in the sky. It was coming closer and closer. + +"Look, Tim, it is going to rain!" Lily said. + +"I don't like rain. It makes me wet and cold." Tim said. He frowned. + +They ran to the big tree and hid under it. They hoped the rain would go away soon. But it did not. It came down hard and fast. It made a loud noise on the leaves. + +"Tim, I'm scared. The rain is too loud." Lily said. + +"Me too, Lily. And look, there is mist all around us. It is like a ghost." Tim said. + +They hugged each other and shivered. They wished they were at home with their mom and dad. + +Then they heard a voice. It was their dad. He had come to the park to look for them. He had an umbrella and a coat. + +"Tim, Lily, where are you?" he called. + +"Dad, dad, we are here, under the tree!" they shouted. + +Their dad saw them and ran to them. He lifted them up and wrapped them in his coat. He smiled and kissed them. + +"Are you okay, my little ones? I'm sorry I was late. The traffic was bad." he said. + +"We are okay, dad. But we were scared. The rain was loud and the mist was like a ghost." they said. + +"Don't worry, the rain will stop soon and the mist will go away. They are not ghosts, they are just water. And you are not alone, I'm here with you." he said. + +He carried them to his car and drove them home. He gave them hot chocolate and cookies. He read them a story and tucked them in bed. + +"Good night, Tim, Lily. I love you." he said. + +"Good night, dad. We love you too." they said. + +They closed their eyes and slept. They dreamed of sunny days and happy games. They did not frown anymore. +Ben was a pilot. He liked to fly big planes in the sky. He had a blue hat and a white shirt. He was attractive. Many people liked him. + +One day, he met Lily. Lily was a teacher. She taught little kids how to read and write. She had a red dress and a yellow bag. She was attractive too. Ben and Lily liked each other. They went to the park and had a picnic. They talked and laughed. + +But there was a problem. Lily had a cat. Her cat was black and white. His name was Spot. Spot did not like Ben. He was jealous. He wanted Lily to play with him. He did not want Ben to take Lily away. + +So, Spot made a plan. He waited until Ben and Lily were busy. Then, he sneaked into Ben's plane. He hid under the seat. He wanted to scare Ben and make him go away. + +The next day, Ben and Lily went to the airport. Ben wanted to show Lily his plane. He was proud of it. He opened the door and climbed in. He invited Lily to join him. But as soon as he sat down, he heard a loud meow. He looked under the seat and saw Spot. Spot hissed and scratched him. Ben was surprised and hurt. He jumped out of the plane. + +Lily heard the noise and ran to Ben. She saw Spot and gasped. She knew it was her cat. She was sorry and angry. She grabbed Spot and scolded him. She said, "Bad cat! How did you get here? You are naughty! You hurt Ben! You should not ignore me when I tell you to stay home!" + +Ben was sad and mad. He did not like Spot. He did not like cats. He said, "Lily, I like you, but I don't like your cat. He is mean and rude. He ruined my plane and my day. I don't want to see him again!" + +Lily was sad and mad too. She liked Ben, but she loved her cat. She said, "Ben, I'm sorry, but I can't leave my cat. He is my friend and my family. He needs me and I need him. I don't want to lose him!" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not know what to do. They liked each other, but they did not like each other's pets. They had a big problem. They had to choose. They had to decide. They had to say goodbye. +Lily liked to design things. She had many crayons and papers and stickers. She made pictures of flowers and animals and houses. She gave them to her friends and family. They smiled and said thank you. + +One day, Lily wanted to design something new. She looked around her room and saw her old cup. It was white and plain. She had an idea. She took her cup and some markers. She drew colorful dots and stripes on the cup. She made a face with a big smile. She was very happy with her cup. + +She ran to the kitchen to show her mom. She held the cup by the handle and said, "Look, mom, I designed a cup for you. It is cheerful and pretty. Do you like it?" + +Mom looked at the cup and smiled. She hugged Lily and said, "I love it, Lily. It is the most cheerful and pretty cup I have ever seen. Thank you for designing it for me. You are very creative and kind." + +Lily felt proud and happy. She gave the cup to mom and said, "You're welcome, mom. I hope it makes you cheerful too. Can we have some juice in it?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Of course, Lily. Let's have some juice in your cup. You can design more things for me anytime." + +They went to the fridge and poured some juice in the cup. They drank and laughed and enjoyed their cup. Lily thought it was the best cup in the world. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many leaves. They want to climb the tree and see the sky. + +They hold hands and walk to the tree. They find a low branch and pull themselves up. They lean on the branch and look around. They see birds and flowers and clouds. They are happy. + +They want to go higher. They see another branch above them. They try to reach it. Tom jumps and grabs the branch. He pulls himself up. He leans on the branch and smiles. He tells Mia to come. + +Mia jumps and tries to grab the branch. But she is too small. She misses the branch and falls. She screams and cries. Tom hears her and looks down. He sees Mia on the ground. She is hurt and bleeding. He is scared and sad. + +He wants to help Mia. He tries to climb down. But he slips and falls too. He hits his head on a rock. He feels pain and darkness. He stops moving. + +The birds and flowers and clouds are still there. But Tom and Mia are not. They are still and quiet. They do not see the brilliant sky. They do not play in the park. They do not hold hands. They are gone. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play in the pool. They have a big ball and a small duck. They throw the ball and catch it. They make the duck swim and quack. + +One day, Sara has a new idea. She wants to splash Tom with water. She thinks it is fun. She fills her hands with water and throws it at Tom. Tom gets wet and cold. He does not like it. + +"Stop it, Sara!" Tom says. "I do not want to be wet. It is not fun." + +But Sara does not stop. She splashes Tom again and again. She laughs and laughs. Tom gets angry and sad. He does not want to play with Sara anymore. + +He sees the duck near his leg. He grabs the duck and throws it at Sara. The duck hits Sara on the head. It makes a loud noise. Sara cries and cries. She does not like it. + +"Ow, Tom!" Sara says. "That hurts. Why did you do that?" + +Tom says, "You splashed me with water. You made me wet and cold. You did not listen to me. It is not fair." + +Sara says, "I am sorry, Tom. I did not mean to hurt you. I just wanted to have fun. Can we be friends again?" + +Tom says, "I am sorry, too. I did not mean to throw the duck at you. I was angry and sad. Can we share the ball and the duck?" + +Sara and Tom hug and say sorry. They play with the ball and the duck. They do not splash each other anymore. They have fun. +Tom and Lisa are brother and sister. They like to watch cartoons on TV. They laugh and clap when they see funny animals and superheroes. But sometimes they fight over the remote. They want to watch different cartoons. + +One day, Mom says she has to cook dinner. She tells Tom and Lisa to play nicely and share the remote. She goes to the kitchen and starts to chop and stir. Tom and Lisa sit on the couch and watch cartoons. But soon they start to argue. + +"I want to watch the dog and the cat!" Tom says. + +"No, I want to watch the princess and the dragon!" Lisa says. + +They pull and tug on the remote. They yell and cry. They do not listen to Mom. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room. She sees Tom and Lisa fighting. She is sad and angry. She takes the remote and turns off the TV. + +"Enough!" she says. "You are not watching any cartoons. You are being selfish and rude. You need to learn to share and be kind. Go to your rooms and think about what you did." + +Tom and Lisa are sad and sorry. They go to their rooms and sit on their beds. They think about how they made Mom and each other unhappy. They wish they had played nicely and shared the remote. + +They decide to say sorry to Mom and to each other. They hug and make up. They promise to be better. Mom is happy and proud.

They learn that sharing is caring and that being kind makes everyone happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a kayak by the lake. It is big and red. + +"Can we try it?" Mia asks. + +"I don't know. It looks hard," Tom says. + +Mia is brave and independent. She wants to learn new things. She puts on a life jacket and climbs into the kayak. + +"Come on, Tom. It will be fun," she says. + +Tom is scared and shy. He does not like water. He shakes his head. + +"No, thank you. I will watch you from here," he says. + +Mia paddles the kayak on the lake. She sees fish and ducks and frogs. She is happy and proud. + +"Look, Tom. I can do it," she shouts. + +Tom sees Mia having fun. He feels curious and lonely. He wishes he could join her. + +"Maybe I can try it too," he thinks. + +He puts on a life jacket and walks to the kayak. He asks Mia to help him. + +"Can I sit with you?" he says. + +Mia smiles and nods. She is kind and friendly. She makes room for Tom in the kayak. + +"Sure, Tom.

They liked to chase each other and run around the trees. The dog was big and brown, and the cat was small and black. + +"Come on, cat, catch me if you can!" the dog barked, as he ran fast. + +"No, you come here, dog, I will get you!" the cat meowed, as he jumped and ran. + +They were having fun, but they did not see a tall human walking on the path. The human had a big bag in his hand, and he was in a hurry. He did not see the dog and the cat either. + +As the dog and the cat ran across the path, they almost bumped into the human. The human was surprised and tried to avoid them, but he tripped and fell. His bag flew in the air and landed on the grass. + +"Ouch!" the human said, as he rubbed his knee. "What are you doing, you silly animals? You almost made me fall!" + +The dog and the cat stopped and looked at the human. They felt sorry for him, and they ran to him. + +"Sorry, human, we did not mean to hurt you," the dog said, as he licked the human's face. + +"Yes, sorry, human, we were just playing," the cat said, as he rubbed the human's leg. + +The human smiled and patted the dog and the cat. He was not angry anymore, and he was glad they were friendly. + +"It's okay, dog and cat, I know you were just having fun. But be careful next time, okay? You don't want to pass in front of a car or a bike. That could be dangerous." + +The dog and the cat nodded and wagged their tails. They understood the human, and they wanted to be safe. + +"Thank you, human, for being nice to us. Can we play with you?" the dog asked. + +"Sure, why not? I have some time before I go to work. And I have some treats in my bag for you. Come on, let's go to the bench and share them," the human said. + +The dog and the cat followed the human to the bench. They ate the treats and played with the human. They were happy, and they became friends. They learned to watch out for other humans and things when they played in the park. They had a good day. +Lila was a cat who liked to stretch. Every morning, she would wake up and stretch her legs, her back, and her tail. She felt good when she stretched. She liked to stretch on the sofa, on the rug, and on the bed. + +One day, Lila saw a jar of salt on the kitchen table. She was curious. She jumped on the table and sniffed the jar. She licked the lid. It was salty. She liked salt. She wanted to taste more. She pushed the jar with her paw. It rolled off the table and broke on the floor. + +Lila heard a loud noise. She saw salt everywhere. She saw Mama coming. She was angry. She scolded Lila. She said, "Bad cat! You made a mess! You wasted the salt! Salt is not for cats!" She swept the salt and threw it away. She put Lila outside. + +Lila was sad. She did not mean to be bad. She did not know salt was not for cats. She wanted to say sorry. She wanted to go back inside. She sat on the porch and stretched. She hoped Mama would forgive her. + +Tom was a boy who lived next door. He liked to play with Lila. He saw her on the porch. He said, "Hi, Lila! Do you want to play?" He brought a ball and a toy mouse. He threw the ball and Lila chased it. He dragged the mouse and Lila pounced on it. They had fun. + +Tom saw Lila was hungry. He said, "Do you want some food, Lila?" He brought a bowl of milk and a piece of fish. He said, "This is for you, Lila. You can have it. I am generous. I like to share." He put the bowl and the fish on the porch. Lila licked his hand. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are kind. You are generous. I like you." She drank the milk and ate the fish. She was happy. + +Mama saw Tom and Lila on the porch. She smiled. She said, "Tom, you are a good boy. You are generous. You made Lila happy. I am sorry I was angry with Lila. She did not know better. She is a good cat. She can come back inside." She opened the door and Lila ran inside. She rubbed against Mama's leg. She said, "Thank you, Mama. I love you." Mama hugged Lila. She said, "I love you too, Lila. You are my cat." They were happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play different games. Ben liked to play chess, a game with black and white pieces that moved on a board. Lily liked to play with dolls, soft toys that looked like people or animals. One day, they wanted to play in the living room, but there was only one table. + +"I want to play chess on the table," Ben said. + +"No, I want to play with dolls on the table," Lily said. + +They both pulled the table to their side, but it was too heavy and they fell down. They started to cry and shout. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Ben and Lily on the floor, and the table in the middle. + +"What is going on here?" Mom asked. + +"Ben and Lily want to play different games on the table," Ben said. + +"But there is only one table," Lily said. + +Mom thought for a moment. She had an idea. + +"Why don't you settle this by playing a new game together?" Mom said. + +"A new game?" Ben and Lily asked. + +"Yes, a new game. It is called chess-dolls. You can use the chess pieces as dolls, and make up stories with them. You can take turns to move them and talk for them. It is a perfect game for both of you," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They liked the idea of a new game. They smiled and nodded. + +"Okay, let's play chess-dolls," Ben said. + +"Yay, chess-dolls!" Lily said. + +They picked up the chess pieces and put them on the table. They started to make up stories with them. They had fun and forgot about their fight. + +Mom watched them play and smiled. She was happy that they settled their problem and learned to share. She went back to the kitchen and made some cookies for them. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big cooler near a bench. They are thirsty and hungry. + +"Let's look inside the cooler. Maybe there is something good to eat and drink," Tom says. + +"OK, but we have to be quick. Maybe someone will come back soon," Mia says. + +They run to the cooler and open it. They see some juice boxes, sandwiches, and cookies. They smile and grab some. + +"Yum, this is good. I like juice and cookies," Tom says. + +"Me too. But we should not take too much. That is not nice," Mia says. + +They eat and drink some more. Then they hear a voice. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my cooler? Stop right now!" the voice says. + +They look up and see a man. He is angry and has a hard face. He walks to them fast. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They drop the juice boxes and cookies. They run away from the cooler and the man. + +"Sorry, sorry, we did not know. We were just hungry and thirsty," Tom says. + +"Go away and do not come back. This is my cooler and my food. You are bad kids," the man says. + +Tom and Mia run to their mom. They tell her what happened. She hugs them and says they should not take things that are not theirs. She says they should say sorry to the man. She says she will buy them some juice and cookies later. + +Tom and Mia feel bad. They nod and say they will not do it again. They learn a lesson. They hope the man will forgive them. +Tom liked to learn new things. He liked to learn about animals, colors, numbers and shapes. He liked to learn from books, toys, games and his mom and dad. He wanted to learn more and more every day. + +One day, Tom saw a big building near his house. It was very tall and had many windows. He wanted to learn what was inside the building. He asked his mom and dad, but they said he could not go there. They said it was a dangerous place, and only grown-ups could go there. They said he should learn from safe places, like his home, his school and his park. + +But Tom did not listen to his mom and dad. He was very curious and wanted to see the building. He waited until they were busy, and then he ran away from his house. He crossed the street and went to the building. He saw a door that was open, and he went inside. + +The building was dark and dirty. It had many broken things, like chairs, tables, wires and pipes. It smelled bad and made loud noises. Tom was scared, but he wanted to learn more. He walked around and looked at everything. He saw some people who were not nice. They had angry faces and dirty clothes. They saw Tom and shouted at him. They wanted to hurt him and take his things. + +Tom was very sorry. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad. He wished he had learned from safe places, like his home, his school and his park. He tried to run away, but it was too late. The people caught him and hurt him. He cried and cried, but no one helped him. + +The moral of the story is: You should listen to your mom and dad, and learn from safe places. You should not go to dangerous places, and talk to strangers. You should be careful and smart, and not let your curiosity get you into trouble. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and make music. Anna has a large flute. She can blow it and make nice sounds. Ben likes the flute too. He wants to try it. + +"Can I play with your flute, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"OK, but be careful. It is my favorite toy," Anna says. She passes the flute to Ben. + +Ben takes the flute and blows it. He makes loud noises. He laughs and runs around. He does not see the rock on the ground. He trips and falls. The flute breaks into two pieces. + +"Oh no! What have you done?" Anna cries. She runs to Ben and the flute. She is very sad and angry. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I did not mean to break your flute. Are you hurt?" Ben says. He is scared and sorry. + +Anna looks at Ben. He has a scratch on his knee. She feels sorry for him too. She remembers that he is her friend. + +"It's OK, Ben. I'm not hurt. But you should be more careful with other people's things. They are not yours. You should ask before you take them. And you should give them back when you are done," Anna says. + +"I know, Anna. You are right. I was wrong. I should have asked you. And I should have given you back your flute. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" Ben says. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She knows that Ben is sorry. She knows that he is her friend. She decides to forgive him. + +"Yes, I forgive you, Ben. But you have to help me fix my flute. Or get me a new one. And you have to be more careful next time," Anna says. + +"OK, Anna. I will help you fix your flute. Or get you a new one. And I will be more careful next time. Thank you for forgiving me. You are a good friend," Ben says. + +They hug and smile. They learn a lesson. They learn to be careful with other people's things. They learn to say sorry and forgive. They learn to be good friends. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a large dog. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. It barks at them. + +"Let's run away!" Sue says. She is scared of the dog. + +"No, let's pet the dog!" Tom says. He wants to be a hero. "Maybe the dog is nice. Maybe he wants to play." + +"I don't think so," Sue says. "The dog looks angry. I recommend we go to the other side of the park." + +But Tom does not listen to Sue. He walks towards the dog. He tries to touch the dog's head. The dog does not like that. The dog bites Tom's hand. Tom screams. He is hurt. + +Sue runs to Tom. She helps him. She calls for help. A man comes. He is the dog's owner. He is angry too. He says Tom should not have bothered his dog. He says Tom is stupid. He takes his dog and leaves. + +Tom is sad. He is sorry. He wishes he had listened to Sue. He learns a lesson. He learns that being a hero is not always good. He learns that he should listen to his friends. He learns that he should be careful of large dogs. +Sam and Mia were friends who liked to play in the pond. They liked to catch shrimp and put them in a jar. They wanted to keep the shrimp as pets. + +One day, they saw a big boy near the pond. He had a net and a bucket. He was catching shrimp too. He saw Sam and Mia's jar and said, "Hey, those are my shrimp. Give them to me." + +Sam and Mia were scared. They said, "No, they are our shrimp. We caught them first. You are rude." + +The big boy got angry. He grabbed the jar from Sam and Mia. He poured the shrimp into his bucket. He said, "Too bad. They are mine now. Go away." + +Sam and Mia were sad. They cried. They had no shrimp left. They ran away from the pond. They did not want to play there anymore. The big boy was mean. He kept all the shrimp. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls, and books. + +One day, they decide to organize their toys. They want to make groups of the same kind of toys. They find a big branch on the ground. They use the branch to make a line. They put the cars on one side of the line, and the dolls on the other side. They do the same with the balls and the books. + +They are happy with their work. They say, "Look, we organized our toys! Now we can find them easily!" + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is curious. He smells the toys. He likes the balls. He takes one ball in his mouth. He runs away with the ball. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They say, "Hey, stop! That's our ball! Give it back!" + +They chase the dog. But the dog is faster. He jumps over the branch. He knocks down the cars and the dolls. He makes a big mess. + +Anna and Ben are angry. They say, "Bad dog! You ruined our toys! Go away!" + +They try to fix their toys. But they are also embarrassed. They see other kids in the park. They see them laughing. They think they are laughing at them. + +They feel shy. They say, "Let's go home. We don't want to play here anymore." + +They take their toys and their box. They leave the park. They hope the dog will not come back. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their dolls and cars. One day, they saw a big map of the world on the wall of the library. They pointed at the different colors and shapes. + +"What is this?" Lily asked. + +"This is a country," Sam said. "A country is a big place where many people live. Like our home, but bigger." + +Lily nodded. She saw a pink country that looked like a flower. She liked it very much. + +"I want this country," she said. "It is so pretty and delicate." + +She reached out to touch the map, but Sam stopped her. + +"No, Lily, you can't do that. The map is not for us. It is for the library. If you touch it, you might break it or make it dirty. That is not nice." + +Lily was angry. She wanted the pink country. She pushed Sam away and scratched the map with her nails. She made a big hole in the pink country. + +Sam was shocked. He saw the hole and the torn paper. He felt sad and mad. + +"Lily, why did you do that? You ruined the map. You are a bad friend. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +He ran away, leaving Lily alone. Lily felt sorry. She realized she had done something wrong. She wished she could fix the map and make Sam happy again. + +She ran after Sam and found him sitting on a bench, crying. She sat next to him and hugged him. + +"Sam, I'm sorry. I was silly and mean. I didn't mean to hurt the map or you. Please forgive me. I still want to be your friend." + +Sam looked at Lily. He saw her sad face and her sorry eyes. He remembered how much fun they had together. He felt his anger melt away. + +He hugged Lily back and smiled. + +"It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You are still my friend. But next time, don't touch things that are not yours. And don't scratch the map. It is not nice." + +Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She and Sam went back to the library and told the librarian what they had done. The librarian was not happy, but she was kind. She gave them some tape and paper and helped them fix the map. She also showed them some books about the countries of the world. Lily and Sam thanked her and promised to be more careful. They learned a lot and had fun. They were happy to be friends again. +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks. They liked to make different shapes with the blocks. Tom made a square with four blocks. Lily made a circle with many blocks. They were happy. + +Then Tom saw a triangle block. He wanted to make a triangle with it. He reached for the block. But Lily saw it too. She wanted the block for her circle. She grabbed the block first. + +"Give me the block!" Tom said. "I saw it first!" + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "I need it for my circle!" + +They pulled the block from each other. They were angry. They were jealous. + +The block broke in half. Tom and Lily both cried. They dropped the broken block. They were sad. + +Mom heard them cry. She came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken block and the unhappy children. + +"What happened?" Mom asked. + +"Tom and Lily both wanted the same block. They broke it." Mom said. + +"That's not nice. You should share your blocks. You have many blocks. You can make many shapes with them. You don't need to fight over one block." Mom said. + +She hugged Tom and Lily. She gave them each a half of the broken block. She helped them make a new shape with the halves. They made a heart. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They were sorry. They were friends. + +They played with the blocks again. They made more shapes. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a pet rabbit named Fluffy who was very intelligent. Fluffy knew how to open his cage and hop around the flowers and grass. He also liked to listen to Ben and Lily when they talked to him. + +One day, Ben and Lily's mom said they had to go to grandma's house for a week. They were sad because they would miss Fluffy. They asked mom if they could take Fluffy with them, but mom said no. She said Fluffy would be happier in the garden, and she would ask their neighbor to feed him every day. + +Ben and Lily hugged Fluffy and told him to be good and stay in his cage. They put some carrots and lettuce in his bowl and locked the door. Then they got in the car with mom and waved goodbye. + +Fluffy watched them leave and felt lonely. He wanted to go with them and see grandma. He decided to escape from his cage and follow them. He used his teeth and paws to unlock the door and jumped out. He ran after the car, but it was too fast. He lost sight of it and found himself in a big street with many cars and people. + +He was scared and confused. He did not know where to go or how to get back to the garden. He wished he had stayed in his cage and waited for Ben and Lily to come back. He hoped they would find him and take him home. He hid under a bush and waited. +Ben and Lily like to play hockey with their dad. They have sticks and a ball and a net in the backyard. They take turns to hit the ball and try to score. + +One day, Ben and Lily are playing hockey when their mom calls them for lunch. "Come on, kids, it's time to eat!" she says. + +"But we're not done yet!" Ben says. "I want to score one more goal!" + +"Me too!" Lily says. "We're having fun!" + +Mom smiles and says, "I know, but lunch is important too. You need to eat to have energy and grow. You can play hockey again after lunch, okay?" + +Ben and Lily think for a moment. They are hungry and they like lunch. But they also like hockey. They look at their dad, who is holding the ball. + +Dad says, "Why don't we make a deal? If you mind your mom and come for lunch now, I'll play hockey with you for longer later. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They think that's a fair deal. They drop their sticks and run to their mom. They give her a hug and say, "Okay, mom, we'll mind you. We'll come for lunch. But we'll play hockey again later, right?" + +Mom and dad laugh and say, "Of course, we'll play hockey again later. You're good kids. We love you." + +Ben and Lily smile and follow their mom to the kitchen. They wash their hands and sit at the table. They eat their lunch and talk about hockey. They can't wait to play again. They think hockey is important and fun. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many things that were interesting. They saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a pond. They also saw some birds that were white and had long wings. Mom said they were doves. + +"Can we feed the doves, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, we can. I have some bread in my bag. But be gentle and quiet, okay?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and took some bread from mom. They walked slowly to the pond and threw some bread to the doves. The doves flew down and ate the bread. They made soft sounds that sounded like coo-coo. + +Lily and Ben smiled and watched the doves. They liked how they looked and how they sounded. They also liked how they moved. Sometimes they walked on the ground, sometimes they flew in the air, and sometimes they landed on the water. + +As the sun was setting, the doves looked even more interesting. They started to glow in the light. Their white feathers shone like stars. Their eyes sparkled like jewels. Their wings made shadows on the water. + +"Wow, they are so pretty!" Lily said. + +"They are like magic!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "They are, aren't they? They are also very peaceful and gentle. They are a symbol of love and hope. Do you know what that means?" + +Lily and Ben shook their heads. They did not know what those words meant. But they felt happy and warm inside. + +"It means that they make us feel good and wish for good things. Just like you two make me feel good and wish for good things. I love you, Lily and Ben." Mom said. + +"We love you too, mom." Lily and Ben said. + +They hugged mom and watched the doves glow until it was dark. Then they went home and had a nice dinner and a good sleep. They dreamed of the doves and their glow. +Tom and Sue are friends who like to play in the park. One day, they see a high hill with a trail that goes up. They want to climb the hill and see what is on top. They ask their moms if they can go, and their moms say yes, but they have to stay together and be careful. + +Tom and Sue start to climb the hill, following the trail. They see birds and flowers and rocks. They have fun and talk to each other. They are almost at the top when they hear a loud roar. They look up and see a big bear. The bear is angry and hungry. It sees Tom and Sue and starts to run towards them. + +Tom and Sue are very scared. They panic and run away from the bear. But they do not run together. Tom runs to the left and Sue runs to the right. They lose sight of each other and the trail. They do not know where to go. They cry and call for help. + +Their moms hear their cries and run to the hill. They see the bear and the trail. They look for Tom and Sue. They find Tom hiding behind a tree. They find Sue hiding under a bush. They hug them and take them away from the hill. They are safe and happy. + +Tom and Sue learn a lesson. They learn that they should not panic when they are in danger. They learn that they should stay together and follow the trail. They learn that they should listen to their moms and be careful. They say sorry to their moms and thank them for saving them. They promise to be more brave and smart next time. +Tim and Jen were twins who liked to help Mom and Dad with chores. They wanted to be amazing helpers. One day, Mom asked them to give the floor a good mop. She showed them how to use the mop and the bucket of water and soap. She said, "Be careful not to spill the water or make a mess." + +Tim and Jen nodded and took the mop and the bucket. They went to the living room and started to mop the floor. They worked hard and made the floor shiny and clean. They were happy and proud. They wanted to surprise Mom and Dad with their amazing work. + +But they did not see the cat sleeping on the couch. The cat woke up and saw the water and the mop. He thought it was a fun toy. He jumped off the couch and ran to the bucket. He knocked it over and spilled the water all over the floor. He grabbed the mop and dragged it around. He made a big mess. + +Tim and Jen heard the noise and turned around. They saw the cat and the water and the mop. They were shocked and sad. They had worked so hard and now their work was ruined. They did not know what to do. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise too and came to the living room. They saw the cat and the water and the mop. They saw Tim and Jen's faces. They knew what had happened. They did not get angry or scold them. They smiled and hugged them. They said, "You are amazing helpers. You tried your best. Accidents happen. We can clean this up together. We love you." Tim and Jen felt better and hugged them back. They learned a lesson. They still liked to help with chores, but they always checked where the cat was first. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they make a big mess. Mom tells them to clean up their toys before dinner. Tom and Lily do not want to clean up. They refuse to listen to Mom. + +Mom gets angry. She says, "If you do not clean up your toys, you will not get any dessert." Tom and Lily still refuse to clean up. They say, "We do not care. We do not like dessert." Mom says, "Fine. Then you will stay in your room. No TV, no books, no games. Only toys." + +Mom leaves them in their room and goes to the kitchen. Tom and Lily are sad. They look at their toys. They do not want to play with them anymore. They want to go to the hall. The hall is big and bright. They can run and jump and sing in the hall. They can see Mom and Dad and the dog in the hall. They can smell the dinner in the hall. The hall is fun. + +Tom and Lily decide to sneak out of their room. They open the door and look at the hall. But the hall is not big and bright. The hall is dark and scary. The lights are off. They cannot see Mom and Dad and the dog. They cannot smell the dinner. They only see black shadows and hear strange noises. The hall is not fun. + +Tom and Lily are scared. They run back to their room. They close the door and turn on the light. They hug each other and cry. They wish they had listened to Mom. They wish they had cleaned up their toys. They wish they had dessert. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will clean up our toys. Please come back. Please turn on the hall light. Please give us dessert." But Mom does not hear them. She is busy in the kitchen. Tom and Lily are stuck in their room. They learn their lesson. They never refuse to clean up their toys again. +Mark and his mom went to the park. Mark liked to play on the swings and the slide. He also liked to watch the birds and the squirrels. He saw a big black bird with a shiny thing in its beak. He wanted to see what it was. + +"Mom, look at that bird!" he said, pointing at the sky. + +Mom looked up and saw the bird. She smiled and said, "That's a crow, Mark. Crows like to collect shiny things. Maybe it found a coin or a ring." + +Mark wanted to follow the crow. He ran after it, but it flew away. He did not see where it went. He got lost in the park. He did not know where his mom was. He felt scared and sad. + +"Mom, where are you?" he cried. + +Mom heard Mark's voice. She was worried. She looked around and saw him near a dirty pond. He was covered in mud and leaves. She ran to him and hugged him. + +"Mark, I'm here. I'm so glad you're safe. Why did you run away from me?" she asked. + +"I wanted to see the crow's shiny thing, Mom. But it flew away and I got lost. I'm sorry, Mom," Mark said. + +Mom kissed him and said, "It's okay, Mark. I'm not mad at you. But you have to stay close to me in the park. The crow's shiny thing is not as important as you. You are my shiny thing, Mark. You are my precious boy." + +Mark smiled and said, "I love you, Mom. You are my shiny thing, too." + +Mom and Mark walked back to the car. Mom gave Mark a towel and a snack. They went home and took a bath. Mark told Mom about the crow and the shiny thing. Mom told Mark about the other birds and animals in the park. They watched a book about nature. Mark learned a lot of new words. He was happy and sleepy. He fell asleep in Mom's arms. Mom tucked him in and said, "Good night, Mark. Sweet dreams." +Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They have many toys, but their favorite is a statue of a dog. The statue is big and brown and has a shiny collar. They pretend the statue is their pet and they give it hugs and kisses. + +One day, when they go to the park, they see that the statue is broken. Someone has knocked off its tail and one of its ears. Tom and Mia are very sad and angry. They wonder who did this to their friend. + +"Who broke our dog?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe a bad person or a big bird," Mia says. + +"We have to fix it. We have to repair our dog," Tom says. + +They look around and find the tail and the ear on the ground. They pick them up and try to put them back on the statue. But they are too heavy and they fall off again. + +"We need glue. Glue can stick things together," Mia says. + +"But we don't have glue. And we can't go home and get it. Mommy said we have to stay in the park until she comes back," Tom says. + +"Then we have to find glue here. Maybe someone has glue in their bag or their car," Mia says. + +They are very independent and brave. They go to the other people in the park and ask them if they have glue. Some people say no, some people say yes but they don't want to share, and some people don't understand them. Tom and Mia are sad and frustrated. They think they will never repair their dog. + +But then they see a nice lady with a big smile. She is sitting on a bench and reading a book. She has a bag next to her. Tom and Mia go to her and say hello. + +"Hello, little ones. What are you doing?" the lady asks. + +"We are looking for glue. We need glue to repair our dog," Tom says. + +"Your dog? Where is your dog?" the lady asks. + +"Over there. It's a statue. But someone broke it. They broke its tail and its ear. We want to fix it. We love our dog," Mia says. + +The lady looks at the statue and sees the damage. She feels sorry for Tom and Mia. She says, "Oh, I see. That's very sad. I have some glue in my bag. Do you want to use it?" + +Tom and Mia are very happy and excited. They say, "Yes, please! Thank you, thank you!" + +The lady gives them the glue and helps them to repair the statue. She puts some glue on the tail and the ear and sticks them back on the statue. She holds them for a while until they dry. Then she lets go and says, "There. Your dog is repaired. He looks good as new." + +Tom and Mia hug the lady and thank her again. They hug the statue and kiss it. They are very happy and proud. They have repaired their dog. They say, "We love you, dog. You are our best friend." + +The lady smiles and says, "You are very welcome. You are very independent and clever. You care for your dog. He is lucky to have you." + +They play with the statue until their mommy comes back. They tell her what happened and how they repaired their dog. Their mommy is proud of them too. She says, "You are amazing. You are my little heroes." +Ben and Mia were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build tall towers and knock them down. They were having fun and laughing. + +Suddenly, they felt the floor shake. The blocks fell down and the pictures on the wall moved. They heard a loud noise outside. They were scared and hugged each other. + +"What is that?" Mia asked. + +"It is an earthquake," Ben said. "It is when the ground moves a lot. Mommy told me." + +"Will it stop?" Mia asked. + +"I hope so," Ben said. + +They crawled under the table and waited. The shaking lasted for a few seconds and then stopped. They heard Mommy calling their names. + +"Ben! Mia! Are you okay?" Mommy asked. + +"Yes, Mommy, we are okay," Ben said. + +Mommy came into the living room and saw them under the table. She was relieved and hugged them. + +"I'm so glad you are safe," Mommy said. "That was a great earthquake. It was very strong. But we are okay. Come on, let's go outside and see if everyone else is okay." + +Ben and Mia followed Mommy outside. They saw some cracks on the road and some broken branches on the trees. They also saw some people helping each other and checking their houses. They felt sad for the people who had damage. + +"Mommy, can we help them?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, we can," Mommy said. "We can share our water and snacks and toys. We can also stretch our arms and give them hugs. That will make them feel better." + +Ben and Mia nodded and smiled. They were happy to help. They learned that even when bad things happen, they can be brave and kind. They also learned that earthquakes are scary, but they don't last forever. +Sam and Mia liked to play in the garden. They looked for bugs, flowers and rocks. One day, they found a big rock that was shiny and colorful. It was a gem! + +"Wow, look at this!" Sam said. "It is so pretty and bright. It is a gem!" + +Mia nodded. "It is a gem. It is impressive. Can we keep it?" + +Sam smiled. "Yes, we can keep it. We can show it to Mom and Dad. They will like it too." + +They picked up the gem and carried it to the house. It was heavy and hard, but they did not mind. They were happy and proud. They had found a gem! + +They put the gem on the table and ran to find their parents. They wanted to tell them about their discovery. + +"Mom, Dad, come and see!" Sam shouted. "We found a gem in the garden!" + +"A gem?" Mom asked. "What do you mean?" + +"Come and see!" Mia said. "It is a rock, but it is not a normal rock. It is a gem!" +
