+Mom and Dad followed Sam and Mia to the table. They saw the gem and gasped. It was indeed a gem. It was shiny and colorful. It was impressive.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Dad said. "Where did you find it?"
+
+"In the garden!" Sam said. "We were playing and we saw it. It was hiding under some dirt. We dug it out and cleaned it. It is a gem!"
+
+Mom hugged Sam and Mia. "You are very lucky and smart. You found a gem in the garden. It is a rare and beautiful thing. You can keep it as a treasure. It is a gem!"
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. But they do not like the same things. Sara likes to swing high and slide fast. Ben likes to dig in the sand and build castles.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom. Mom says they can have a picnic. She has a basket with sandwiches, apples, and cookies. Sara and Ben are happy. They run to the big tree and sit on the blanket.
+
+Mom gives them each a sandwich. Sara takes a big bite. She makes a face. She spits out the sandwich. "Yuck!" she says. "This is spicy! I hate spicy!"
+
+Ben looks at his sandwich. He smells it. He smiles. He takes a big bite. He likes it. "This is yummy!" he says. "I love spicy!"
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They do not understand. How can they like different things? They are twins!
+
+Mom laughs. She says, "It's okay to like different things. You are twins, but you are not the same. You have different tastes. Sara, your sandwich has mustard. That is spicy. Ben, your sandwich has ketchup. That is not spicy. Do you want to trade?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They trade their sandwiches. They take a bite. They are happy. They say, "Thank you, mom!"
+
+Mom says, "You're welcome, my loves. Now, do you want to play some more?"
+
+Sara and Ben say, "Yes, please!"
+
+They finish their sandwiches. They get up. They run to the playground. But they do not go to the same place. Sara goes to the swing. Ben goes to the sand. They wave to each other. They say, "See you later!"
+
+They play in the park. They have fun. They do not care if they like different things. They are twins. They love each other.
+Tim and Sue were playing with their ball in the park. They liked to roll the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they rolled the ball very fast and far.
+
+One time, Tim rolled the ball so hard that it went over the hill. Sue ran after it, but she could not see it. She looked around and saw a swamp. The swamp was wet and green and had many plants and animals. Sue thought the ball might be in the swamp.
+
+She walked closer to the swamp and called, "Ball, where are you?" She heard a splash and saw a white duck. The duck had the ball in its mouth. It looked at Sue and quacked.
+
+"Hey, that's my ball!" Sue said. "Please give it back!"
+
+The duck shook its head and swam away. Sue was sad and angry. She wanted her ball back. She did not like the duck. She did not like the swamp. She wished Tim was there to help her.
+One day, Ben and his mom were at home. They heard a loud noise outside. It was a tornado. A tornado is a big, scary wind that can break things and hurt people.
+
+"Mom, what is that?" Ben asked, feeling afraid.
+
+"That is a tornado, Ben. We have to go to the basement and hide. Come with me, quickly!" Mom said, holding his hand.
+
+They ran to the basement and closed the door. They heard the tornado getting closer and closer. It was very loud. Ben covered his ears. He wanted the noise to stop.
+
+"Mom, I don't like the tornado. It is too loud. It makes me cry," Ben said, tears in his eyes.
+
+Mom hugged him and said, "I know, Ben. I don't like it either. But we are safe here. The tornado will go away soon. I love you, Ben."
+
+Ben felt a little better. He loved his mom too. He hoped the tornado would go away soon.
+
+But in the next house, there was a girl named Mia. Mia was deaf. Deaf means you cannot hear anything. Mia did not hear the tornado. She did not hear her dad calling her to go to the basement. She was playing with her dolls in her room.
+
+She saw the tornado through the window. It was big and scary. It was coming to her house. She felt the wind shaking her house. She felt the glass breaking. She felt the dolls flying away. She felt scared. She wanted her dad. She cried.
+Lily and Ben are going to visit their grandma. They are very happy because they love grandma and she makes them yummy food. They have to pack their bags with clothes and toys.
+
+"Can I pack my teddy bear?" Ben asks Lily.
+
+"Of course you can. Teddy is your best friend. I will pack my doll. She is my best friend." Lily says.
+
+They put their friends in their bags and zip them up. Then they go to the kitchen to have breakfast. Mom has made them oat porridge with honey and milk. They like oat porridge. It is warm and sweet.
+
+"Oat is good for you. It makes you strong and smart." Mom says.
+
+They eat their oat porridge and drink their milk. Then they brush their teeth and put on their coats and shoes. Mom helps them with their bags and takes them to the car.
+
+"Are you ready to go?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, we are!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+They wave goodbye to their house and their cat. They are excited to see grandma. She lives in a big house with a garden and a swing. She is very popular. She has many friends who come to visit her and bring her flowers and cakes. Lily and Ben hope she will share some with them. They love grandma.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. They saw a big hill with rocks and trees. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Can we go up there, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful and stay close to us," mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben ran up the hill, holding hands. They saw birds and flowers and bugs. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They were happy and curious.
+
+They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a big blue lake with boats and ducks. They saw a bridge and a town. They saw a lot of things they had never seen before.
+
+But they also saw something that made them stop and gasp. They saw a cliff. A cliff was a very high and steep edge of the land. If they went too close, they could fall and get hurt.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said.
+
+"It's incredible!" Lily said.
+
+They were both surprised and scared by the cliff. They did not want to go near it. They backed away and ran to their mom and dad.
+
+"Mom, dad, we saw a cliff!" they shouted.
+
+"A cliff? Where?" mom asked.
+
+"Over there, come and see!" they said.
+
+Mom and dad followed them to the top of the hill. They saw the cliff and the lake and the town. They were also surprised and amazed by the view.
+
+"It's beautiful, isn't it?" dad said.
+
+"Yes, it is. But it's also dangerous. You have to be very careful and never go too close to the cliff," mom said.
+
+"We know, mom. We don't want to fall," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They hugged their mom and dad and thanked them for taking them to the park. They learned something new and saw something incredible. They had a fun and exciting day.
+Sam and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play together in their house. One day, they want to play hide and seek. Sam says, "I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will find you."
+
+Lily nods and runs away. She thinks of a good place to hide. She sees the stairs and goes up. She finds a big closet upstairs and goes inside. She closes the door and waits.
+
+Sam counts to ten and says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looks for Lily in the living room, the kitchen, and the bathroom. He cannot find her. He thinks, "Maybe she is upstairs." He goes up the stairs and looks in the bedrooms. He cannot find her. He sees the closet and opens the door. He sees Lily and says, "I found you!"
+
+Lily is surprised and says, "How did you find me? I was very quiet."
+
+Sam says, "I heard you breathe. You breathe very loud."
+
+Lily says, "No, I don't. You are deaf."
+
+Sam says, "No, I'm not. You are loud."
+
+They start to argue. They do not hear their mom calling them from downstairs. She says, "Sam, Lily, come down. It is time for lunch."
+
+She waits for a while, but they do not come. She goes upstairs and sees them in the closet. She says, "What are you doing here? I have been calling you for a long time."
+
+Sam and Lily say, "Sorry, mom. We were playing hide and seek. We did not hear you."
+
+Mom says, "You did not hear me because you were too busy fighting. You need to listen better and be nice to each other. Now, come down and eat your lunch."
+
+Sam and Lily say, "OK, mom. We are sorry. We love you."
+
+They hug their mom and go downstairs. They eat their lunch and share their toys. They are happy.
+Lily and Max were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box, a map, and some hats. They wanted to find some treasure.
+
+"Look, Max, the map says the treasure is under the big tree," Lily said, pointing to a drawing.
+
+"Let's go, Lily, maybe we can find gold and jewels," Max said, holding the box.
+
+They ran to the big tree and started to dig with their hands. They dug and dug, but they did not find anything.
+
+"Maybe the map is wrong, Lily, maybe the treasure is somewhere else," Max said, feeling sad.
+
+"No, Max, we have to be persistent, we have to keep digging, maybe the treasure is very deep," Lily said, not giving up.
+
+They dug and dug some more, until they saw something shiny in the dirt.
+
+"Look, Lily, look, we found it, we found the treasure!" Max shouted, picking up a metal spoon.
+
+"It's so pretty, Max, it's our treasure, let's put it in the box," Lily said, smiling.
+
+They put the spoon in the box and closed it. They felt very happy and proud. They had found the treasure. They were the best pirates ever.
+Tommy did not like to go to the barber. He was scared of the big chair, the sharp scissors and the loud buzzer. He always cried and hid when his mom said it was time for a haircut.
+
+One day, his mom took him to a new barber. His name was Sam and he had a big smile and a funny hat. He showed Tommy some toys and books in the waiting area. He said, "Hi, Tommy. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tommy nodded and followed Sam. He liked the toys and the books. He forgot about the haircut. Sam said, "Tommy, you have very nice hair. Can I please give you a haircut? I will be very gentle and fast. And you can keep playing with the toys and the books."
+
+Tommy looked at Sam. He saw that he was friendly and kind. He said, "Okay, Sam. You can please give me a haircut. But don't use the loud buzzer. It hurts my ears."
+
+Sam said, "No problem, Tommy. I will only use the scissors and the comb. And I will give you a sticker and a lollipop when we are done. How does that sound?"
+
+Tommy smiled and said, "That sounds good, Sam. Thank you."
+
+Sam lifted Tommy to the big chair and wrapped a cape around him. He started to cut his hair with the scissors and the comb. He talked to Tommy about his favorite toys and books. He made him laugh and feel comfortable.
+
+Tommy did not cry or hide. He enjoyed his haircut. He liked Sam. He said, "Sam, you are the best barber ever. You are not scary. You are fun."
+
+Sam said, "Thank you, Tommy. You are the best customer ever. You are not fussy. You are brave."
+
+He finished the haircut and gave Tommy a sticker and a lollipop. He said, "You look great, Tommy. I hope to see you again soon."
+
+Tommy said, "Me too, Sam. Bye-bye."
+
+He hugged Sam and ran to his mom. He showed her his sticker and his lollipop. He said, "Mom, I like the barber. He is nice. Can we please come back?"
+
+His mom smiled and said, "Of course, Tommy. I'm so proud of you. You did a great job."
+Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a basket for her books. She put each toy in the right place and made her room look neat.
+
+One day, she found an unknown toy on the floor. It was round and shiny and had many buttons. She did not know what it was or where it came from. She wondered if it was a gift from someone or if it was a mistake.
+
+She picked up the toy and pressed a button. The toy made a loud noise and flashed a bright light. Lily was scared and dropped the toy. It rolled under her bed and she could not see it anymore.
+
+She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said it was okay. She said the toy was a remote control for the TV and it belonged to her dad. He must have left it on the floor by accident.
+
+Lily felt better and went back to her room. She took the remote control from under her bed and put it on her dad's desk. She did not want to play with it anymore. She liked to organize her toys, not make them noisy and scary.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses. But Ben wanted to make his tower taller and taller. He took some blocks from Lily's bridge and put them on his tower.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Lily said. "Those are my blocks. You are making my bridge fall down."
+
+"I don't care," Ben said. "I want a big tower. It is better than your bridge."
+
+Lily was angry. She did not like Ben taking her blocks. She pushed Ben's tower and made it fall down too. The blocks went everywhere.
+
+"Look what you did!" Ben said. "You ruined my tower. You are a mean girl."
+
+Lily and Ben started to cry. They did not want to play with each other anymore. They quit playing with the blocks and went to their own corners.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the blocks on the floor and the sad faces of Lily and Ben.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked. "Why are you crying?"
+
+"Lily pushed my tower and made it fall down," Ben said.
+
+"Ben took my blocks and made my bridge fall down," Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed. She knew they had a fight. She picked up some of the blocks and put them in a box.
+
+"Listen, Lily and Ben," Mom said. "You are both good kids. You can share the blocks and play nicely. You don't have to fight over them. There are enough blocks for both of you. Why don't you try to build something together?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They did not want to be mad at each other. They wanted to be friends.
+
+"OK, Mom," Lily said. "We will try to build something together."
+
+"OK, Mom," Ben said. "We will try to be nice to each other."
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad they were willing to make up. She gave them a hug and a kiss.
+
+"I love you, Lily and Ben," Mom said. "Now, how about some cookies and milk? I made some delicious cookies for you."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They loved Mom's cookies. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They left the blocks on the floor. They would play with them later. They were happy again.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to look for things in the grass and dirt. They found sticks, leaves, bugs, and sometimes shiny things. One day, they saw a big rock near the slide. It was gray and had many bumps and holes.
+
+"Let's examine the rock!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find something inside."
+
+"OK!" Max agreed. They ran to the rock and started to poke and dig with their fingers. They felt something hard and smooth in one of the holes.
+
+"What is it?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let me pull it out." Max said. He tugged and twisted until he freed the object. It was a small metal ring with a red stone on it. It sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Wow! It's so pretty!" Lily exclaimed. "Can I see it?"
+
+"Sure. Here you go." Max handed the ring to Lily. She put it on her finger and admired it.
+
+"It fits me! It's like a princess ring!" She said.
+
+"Can I have it back?" Max asked.
+
+"No. It's mine. I found it." Lily said.
+
+"No, you didn't. I found it. I pulled it out." Max said.
+
+They started to argue and pull the ring from each other. They did not notice a big dog that was walking by with its owner. The dog saw the shiny ring and thought it was a toy. It barked and ran towards Lily and Max.
+
+"Look out! A fierce dog!" Max shouted.
+
+Lily and Max dropped the ring and ran away. The dog picked up the ring in its mouth and ran away too. The owner tried to catch the dog, but it was too fast.
+
+Lily and Max were scared and sad. They lost the ring and their fun. They hugged each other and said sorry.
+
+"We should have shared the ring. It was not worth fighting over." Lily said.
+
+"You're right. We are friends. Friends are more important than things." Max said.
+
+They learned their lesson and went back to playing. They hoped the dog would enjoy the ring. They decided to look for more rocks, but only for fun, not for keeping.
+Lily likes to comb her hair. She has a pink comb with stars on it. She combs her hair every morning and night. She makes her hair smooth and shiny.
+
+One day, Lily sees a bird outside her window. The bird has blue and yellow feathers. It sings a pretty song. Lily wants to play with the bird. She opens the window and calls the bird.
+
+The bird flies to the window and lands on the sill. It looks at Lily with its black eyes. Lily smiles and holds out her comb. She says, "Do you want to comb your hair, bird? You have nice feathers."
+
+The bird nods and hops on Lily's hand. It lets Lily comb its feathers gently. It likes the feeling of the comb. It chirps and flaps its wings.
+
+Lily and the bird are happy. They comb each other's hair and sing together. They can see the clear sky and the sun. They are friends.
+Anna liked to play with her toy cars in the bathtub. She had a red car, a blue car, and a yellow car. She made them zoom and splash in the water. She pretended they were racing and chasing each other.
+
+One day, she wanted to try something new. She put her yellow car on the edge of the bathtub and pushed it hard. She wanted to see how far it would fly. But she pushed too hard and the car flew out of the bathtub and hit the wall. The car broke into two pieces. Anna was sad and scared.
+
+She quickly got out of the bathtub and picked up the broken car. She tried to put the pieces back together, but they did not fit. She felt sorry for her yellow car. She wished she could reverse what she did and make it whole again.
+
+She ran to her mom and showed her the broken car. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I broke my car. Can you fix it?" Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Anna, accidents happen. I can't fix your car, but I can get you a new one. But next time, be careful with your toys and don't throw them out of the bathtub, okay?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, I'm sorry. Thank you for a new car. I love you." Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Anna. Now let's dry you off and get you dressed." Anna felt better and hugged her mom. She learned her lesson and never threw her cars out of the bathtub again.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a pond with some ducks and fish. They wanted to see them closer.
+
+They walked to the pond and looked at the water. They saw something green and slimy. It was a frog. The frog jumped out of the water and landed on a rock. Lily and Tom were surprised and curious.
+
+"Hello, frog!" Lily said. "What are you doing here?"
+
+The frog looked at Lily and Tom. It opened its mouth and said, "Ribbit, ribbit!"
+
+Lily and Tom laughed. They thought the frog was funny. They wanted to touch it and play with it.
+
+They reached out their hands to the frog. But the frog did not like that. It was scared of Lily and Tom. It did not want to be touched or played with.
+
+The frog shouted, "Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!" It jumped off the rock and back into the water. It swam away from Lily and Tom.
+
+Lily and Tom were sad. They wanted to be friends with the frog. They did not mean to scare it.
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was an elderly lady. She was sitting on a bench. She had a hat and a cane. She smiled at Lily and Tom.
+
+"Don't worry, children," she said. "The frog is shy. He likes to be alone. He is not angry with you. He is just afraid of strangers."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They understood. They said sorry to the frog. They waved goodbye to the lady. They went back to playing in the park. They had fun. They hoped to see the frog again. Maybe next time, the frog would be less shy. Maybe next time, they could be friends.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys. Lily has a laser that makes red light. Ben has a chubby bear that can talk. They like to pretend that the laser is a magic wand and the bear is a king.
+
+"Zap! Zap! I turn you into a frog, King Bear!" Lily says, pointing the laser at Ben's bear.
+
+"Ribbit! Ribbit! Help me, Lily! You are a bad witch!" Ben says, making his bear talk.
+
+Lily laughs and runs away with the laser. Ben chases her around the room. They have fun.
+
+But then, Lily trips over a pillow and drops the laser. It rolls under the sofa.
+
+"Oh no! I lose my laser!" Lily cries.
+
+"Ha ha! Now you can't turn me into a frog anymore!" Ben says.
+
+He tries to grab the laser, but it is too far. He can't reach it.
+
+"Please, Lily, help me get the laser!" Ben says.
+
+"Why should I? You are mean to me and my laser!" Lily says.
+
+They start to argue. They are not having fun anymore.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom asks.
+
+"Lily lose her laser and won't help me get it!" Ben says.
+
+"Ben is mean to me and my bear and wants my laser!" Lily says.
+
+Mom sighs. She moves the sofa and picks up the laser.
+
+"Look, kids, this is just a toy. It is not a magic wand or a weapon. You can share it and play nicely, or you can lose it for real. What do you choose?" Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry.
+
+"We choose to share it and play nicely, Mom. We are sorry." Lily and Ben say.
+
+Mom smiles and gives them the laser.
+
+"Good. Now, how about you turn King Bear into a prince and have a tea party?" Mom says.
+
+"Okay, Mom. That sounds fun." Lily and Ben say.
+
+They hug Mom and each other. They play with the laser and the bear. They have fun.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and white. It has a long tail and a wet nose.
+
+"Can we touch the dog?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. He shrugs. He is not sure if the dog is nice or mean.
+
+The dog sees Lily and Tom. It runs to them. It runs very fast. Lily and Tom are scared. They scream and run away.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shout.
+
+But the dog does not want to hurt them. It only wants to play. It barks and wags its tail. It stops and waits for Lily and Tom to come back.
+
+Lily and Tom stop running. They look at the dog. The dog looks happy and friendly.
+
+"Maybe the dog is nice," Lily says.
+
+"Maybe," Tom says.
+
+They walk slowly to the dog. The dog licks their hands. It is soft and warm.
+
+Lily and Tom smile. They touch the dog. They pet its fur and scratch its ears. The dog likes it. It rolls on the grass and makes funny noises.
+
+Lily and Tom laugh. They play with the dog. They have fun.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Sue are husband and wife. They like to go to the park and play with their dog, Rex. Rex is a big, brown dog who likes to run and fetch sticks.
+
+One day, they go to the park, but the sky is dark and gray. Tom says, "I think it will rain soon. We should go home." Sue says, "But Rex wants to play more. Look, he found a big stick. Let's throw it for him." Tom says, "OK, but only one more time."
+
+They throw the stick for Rex, and he runs after it. But then, they hear a loud boom. It is thunder. Rex is scared of thunder. He drops the stick and runs back to Tom and Sue. He whines and shakes. Tom says, "Poor Rex. Let's go home now." Sue says, "Yes, let's go. It is starting to rain."
+
+They run to their car, but they are too late. The rain is heavy and wet. It makes them and Rex very wet. They get in the car and drive home. Tom says, "We are all wet. We need to dry off and change clothes." Sue says, "Yes, we do. And we need to give Rex a towel and a treat. He was very brave."
+
+They get home and dry off and change clothes. They give Rex a towel and a treat. They hug him and say, "We love you, Rex. You are a good dog." Rex wags his tail and licks their faces. He is happy. Tom says, "We had fun at the park, but I'm glad we are home now." Sue says, "Me too. Home is the best place to be when it rains." They smile and cuddle on the couch. They watch TV and eat popcorn. They are a happy family.
+Tom and Lily wanted to play with their new toys, but their mom said they had to help her wrap some gifts for their cousins. Tom and Lily did not like to wrap gifts. They thought it was boring and hard. They wanted to have fun with their cars and dolls.
+
+"Mom, can we please stop wrapping now?" Tom asked. He was grumpy and tired.
+
+"No, Tom, we have to finish. It is almost time to go to the party. And you have to be nice to your cousins. They will be happy to get these gifts." Mom said. She was busy and stressed.
+
+"But Mom, we don't like our cousins. They are mean and noisy. They always take our toys and break them. Why do we have to give them gifts?" Lily said. She was grumpy and sad.
+
+"Because they are family, Lily, and we have to be kind to them. Even if they are not kind to us. Now, help me put these gifts in the sack. We have to go soon." Mom said. She was firm and calm.
+
+Tom and Lily did not want to help. They wanted to play. They did not care about the sack or the gifts or the cousins. They decided to make a plan. They took some of their old toys that they did not like anymore. They wrapped them with paper and tape. They put them in the sack with the other gifts. They thought they were clever and funny.
+
+They went to the party with their mom. They gave the sack to their cousins. Their cousins opened the gifts. They saw the old toys. They were angry and disappointed. They threw the toys at Tom and Lily. They called them names. They made them cry. Mom saw what happened. She was shocked and angry. She scolded Tom and Lily. She made them apologize to their cousins. She took away their new toys. She said they were naughty and rude.
+
+Tom and Lily were sorry and sad. They wished they had not done that. They wished they had helped their mom. They wished they had been nice to their cousins. They wished they had their new toys. They learned a lesson. They did not have fun. They had a bad day.
+Anna is a young girl who likes to draw. She has many papers with her drawings in a folder. She likes to show her drawings to her friends and family.
+
+One day, Anna wants to wear her new dress. It is pink and has flowers on it. She thinks it is very pretty. She puts on her dress and looks in the mirror. She smiles and says, "I look like a princess!"
+
+She takes her folder and goes to the living room. She sees her mom and dad sitting on the couch. They are reading books. She runs to them and says, "Look, look, I have a new dress and I have my drawings!"
+
+Her mom and dad look at her and smile. They say, "You look very pretty, Anna. And we are proud of your drawings. Can we see them?"
+
+Anna nods and opens her folder. She shows them her drawings one by one. She has drawn a house, a cat, a sun, and a rainbow. Her mom and dad praise her and hug her. They say, "You are very talented, Anna. You have a great imagination. We love you and your drawings."
+
+Anna feels happy and warm. She says, "I love you too, mom and dad. And I love my new dress and my folder." She hugs them back and kisses them. Then she says, "Can I show my drawings to Grandma and Grandpa too?"
+
+Her mom and dad say, "Of course, Anna. They will be very happy to see them. Let's call them and tell them you have a surprise for them."
+
+Anna claps her hands and says, "Yay, let's do that!" She picks up her folder and runs to the phone. She can't wait to share her drawings with her grandparents. She thinks, "This is a good day."
+Sara and Ben were playing with a big rope in the yard. They wanted to make a swing on the tree. But the rope had a knot that was too hard to untie.
+
+"Let me try to fix it," Ben said. He pulled and twisted the rope, but the knot only got tighter.
+
+"No, let me try," Sara said. She took the rope from Ben and tried to loosen the knot with her fingers. But the knot did not budge.
+
+They both felt frustrated and sad. They wanted to swing on the tree, but the knot was in the way.
+
+Then they heard a voice from behind the fence. It was their neighbor, Mr. Lee. He was an old man who knew a lot about ropes and knots.
+
+"Hello, children. Do you need some help?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, please," Sara and Ben said. "We can't fix this knot. It's too hard."
+
+Mr. Lee smiled and climbed over the fence. He took the rope and looked at the knot. He said it was a special kind of knot that was very strong and secure. He said he learned how to make it and undo it when he was a sailor.
+
+He showed Sara and Ben how to find the end of the rope and follow it through the loops and twists of the knot. He said they had to be patient and gentle with the rope. He said the knot was like a puzzle that had a solution.
+
+Slowly, he untied the knot and freed the rope. Sara and Ben clapped and cheered. They thanked Mr. Lee for his help.
+
+"You're welcome, children. You did a good job trying to fix it. Now you can make your swing and have fun," he said.
+
+He gave them the rope and went back to his yard.
+
+Sara and Ben tied the rope to the tree and made a swing. They took turns swinging and laughing. They thought Mr. Lee was incredible. He knew how to fix any knot.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Ben, but she could not see him. She walked around the trees and the swings, but he was not there. She started to feel dizzy and scared. Where was Ben?
+
+She heard a giggle behind a bush. She ran to the bush and pulled it aside. There was Ben, smiling and holding a toy snake. He waved the snake at Lily and said, "Boo!"
+
+Lily screamed and jumped back. She did not like snakes, even toy ones. She felt angry and sad. Ben had scared her and made her dizzy. He was not a good friend.
+
+She ran away from Ben and the bush. She found her mom on a bench and hugged her. She told her mom what Ben had done. Her mom said, "That was not nice of Ben. He should not scare you like that. He should say sorry and promise not to do it again."
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She hoped Ben would say sorry and promise not to scare her again. She wanted to play with him, but only if he was nice. She wondered if he would come and find her and make up. She waited for him on the bench with her mom.
+Lily liked to sew with her grandma. Grandma had a big box of colorful threads and needles. She taught Lily how to make a stitch with the needle and thread. Lily wanted to make a scarf for her teddy bear.
+
+Lily picked a blue thread and a small needle. She cut a piece of white cloth from an old shirt. She started to sew the cloth with the needle and thread. She made small stitches along the edge of the cloth. She was very careful not to poke herself with the needle.
+
+Grandma watched Lily sew. She smiled and said, "You are doing a great job, Lily. Your stitches are very delicate and neat. Your teddy bear will love his scarf."
+
+Lily smiled back and said, "Thank you, Grandma. I want to keep sewing with you. It is fun and I learn a lot."
+
+Grandma hugged Lily and said, "I am happy to sew with you, Lily. You are a good learner and a good helper. You can keep the scarf and the needle and thread. They are yours now."
+
+Lily was very happy. She finished the scarf and wrapped it around her teddy bear. She gave him a kiss and said, "I made this for you, Teddy. I hope you like it. It is warm and soft and has delicate stitches." Teddy nodded and hugged Lily. He liked his scarf very much.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have a big case with many toys inside. They take out the toys and make a lot of noise.
+
+Mom is in the kitchen. She is making a cake. She needs some lemon juice for the cake. She goes to the fridge and looks for a lemon. She does not see any lemon.
+
+She goes to the living room and sees Sara and Ben. They are playing with a lemon. They are squeezing the lemon and making faces. The lemon is sour and makes them pucker.
+
+Mom is angry. She yells at Sara and Ben. She says, "Give me that lemon! That is not a toy! That is for the cake!"
+
+Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the lemon and run to their case. They hide behind the case and hug each other. They are sorry for making Mom yell. They do not like sour lemons. They like sweet cake.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big igloo with snow blocks. They crawl inside the igloo and pretend it is their home.
+
+"Hello, I am Tom. This is my igloo. Do you want to live here with me?" Tom says to Mia.
+
+"Yes, I am Mia. I like your igloo. It is cozy and warm. Can I be your friend?" Mia says to Tom.
+
+They smile and hug. They are happy.
+
+But then they hear a loud bark. It is a big dog. The dog sees the igloo and runs towards it. He wants to play too. He jumps on the igloo and makes it shake.
+
+"Help! The dog is scary. He will break our igloo!" Tom says to Mia.
+
+"Let's run away. He will not hurt us. He just wants to have fun." Mia says to Tom.
+
+They crawl out of the igloo and run to the other side of the yard. The dog follows them. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He is not scary. He is friendly.
+
+"Hi, I am Rex. I am a dog. I like to play in the snow. Can I be your friend?" The dog says to Tom and Mia.
+
+Tom and Mia are shy. They do not know how to talk to a dog. But they see that he is nice. They pet his fur and throw him a snowball. He catches it and barks.
+
+They laugh and play. They are happy.
+
+They make a new igloo with snow blocks. They crawl inside the igloo and invite the dog to join them. He fits inside and snuggles with them.
+
+"Hello, I am Tom. This is Mia. This is Rex. This is our igloo. We are friends." Tom says to Mia and the dog.
+
+"Yes, we are friends. We like your igloo. It is cozy and warm. We are happy." Mia and the dog say to Tom.
+
+They smile and hug. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play outside in every season. In spring, they picked flowers and chased butterflies. In summer, they splashed in the pool and ate ice cream. In autumn, they jumped in the leaves and carved pumpkins. In winter, they built snowmen and drank hot chocolate.
+
+One day, in winter, they saw an enormous snowman in the park. It was bigger than their house. It had a hat, a scarf, a carrot nose, and buttons. Lily and Tom ran to the snowman and said hello.
+
+"Hello, snowman!" they said. "You are very big and nice. Can we play with you?"
+
+The snowman did not answer. He just smiled.
+
+Lily and Tom decided to play with the snowman. They made snowballs and threw them at the snowman. They climbed on his arms and slid down his back. They hugged his legs and tickled his nose.
+
+The snowman did not mind. He was happy to have friends.
+
+Lily and Tom had a lot of fun with the snowman. They laughed and sang and danced. They did not want to leave.
+
+"Snowman, we have to go home now," they said. "But we will come back tomorrow. We like you very much. You are our friend."
+
+The snowman nodded. He liked them too. He was glad they played with him.
+
+Lily and Tom waved goodbye to the snowman and walked home. They held hands and talked about their day.
+
+"Snowman is the best," Lily said. "He is so big and fun and kind. I value him a lot."
+
+"Me too," Tom said. "He is our special friend. No matter what season it is, we will always play with him."
+
+They smiled and hugged. They were happy. They had each other and the snowman. They had everything they needed.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bag under a tree. They are curious. They want to see what is inside the bag.
+
+"Let's go and look at the bag," Lily says to Ben.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Ben says. He follows Lily to the bag.
+
+They open the bag. They see a lot of shiny things. They are happy. They think they are toys. They take out some of the things and play with them.
+
+They do not notice the man who is watching them from behind another tree. He is angry. He is a thief. The shiny things are his. He stole them from a store. He hid them in the bag. He does not want anyone to find them.
+
+He walks towards Lily and Ben. He has a knife in his hand. He is not harmless. He wants to hurt them. He wants to take back his things.
+
+"Hey, you little brats, give me back my stuff!" he shouts at them.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They drop the things and run away. But they are too slow. The man catches them. He grabs them by their hair. He puts the knife to their throats. He laughs.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. They swing, slide, and run on the grass. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big hill in the park. They want to climb it. Mom and dad say yes, but be careful. Lily and Ben start to go up the hill. They hold hands and help each other.
+
+But the hill is steep and slippery. Lily slips and falls. She hurts her knee. She cries. Ben falls too. He hurts his elbow. He cries. Mom and dad run to them. They hug them and kiss them. They say, "It's okay, it's okay. You are brave. Let's go home and have dinner."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are hungry and tired. They go home with mom and dad. Mom makes soup and bread for dinner. Dad makes salad and juice. They sit at the table and eat. They say, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, dad. This is a good dinner."
+
+Mom and dad smile. They say, "You're welcome, Lily. You're welcome, Ben. We love you. This is a normal dinner. But you are not normal. You are special."
+Lily and Ben are playing at the beach. They see a big seal on a rock. The seal is brown and has a long nose. Lily and Ben want to say hello to the seal.
+
+"Hello, seal!" Lily shouts. "We are Lily and Ben. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The seal looks at them and makes a loud noise. "Arf! Arf!" The seal says. "I am Sam. I like to play, but I am shy. You are too loud and too close. You scare me."
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry. They do not want to scare Sam. They want to be his friends.
+
+"Sorry, Sam," Ben says. "We did not know you are shy. We can be quiet and far. Can we play hide and seek with you?"
+
+Sam thinks for a moment. He likes hide and seek. He is good at hiding in the water. He nods his head. "OK," he says. "But you have to count to ten. And no peeking."
+
+Lily and Ben agree. They cover their eyes and start to count. "One, two, three..."
+
+Sam jumps off the rock and dives into the water. He swims fast and finds a hard shell to hide behind. He hopes Lily and Ben will not find him.
+
+Lily and Ben finish counting and open their eyes. They look around and try to find Sam. They see his rock, but he is not there. They see the water, but they do not see him.
+
+"Where is Sam?" Lily asks. "He is very good at hiding."
+
+"Maybe he is under the water," Ben says. "Let's look for bubbles."
+
+Lily and Ben walk along the shore and look for bubbles. They see some bubbles near a hard shell. They think Sam might be there.
+
+"Sam, we found you!" Lily and Ben shout. "You are behind the hard shell!"
+
+Sam hears them and pops his head out of the water. He smiles and wags his tail. He is happy they found him.
+
+"Good job!" he says. "You are very smart. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They like Sam. He is a fun seal. They play hide and seek with him until the sun goes down. They have a great day at the beach.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a map that Ben drew with crayons. The map showed them where to dig.
+
+"Look, Lily, the map says we have to dig under the big tree. Maybe we will find gold and jewels!" Ben said, eager to start digging.
+
+"Maybe, Ben, but we need a key to open the treasure chest. Where is the key?" Lily asked, holding a shovel.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He remembered that Mom had a key ring with many keys. Maybe one of them was the key to the treasure chest.
+
+"Let's go ask Mom for a key. Maybe she will provide us with one. Come on, Lily, follow me!" Ben said, running towards the house.
+
+"Wait for me, Ben!" Lily said, running after him.
+
+They reached the house and knocked on the door. Mom opened the door and smiled.
+
+"Hello, Ben and Lily. What are you doing?" Mom asked.
+
+"Mom, can we have a key, please? We are playing pirates and we need a key to open the treasure chest. Please, Mom, please!" Ben and Lily said, holding their hands together.
+
+Mom looked at their map and their shovels. She knew they were having fun and using their imagination. She decided to play along.
+
+"Sure, Ben and Lily. I have a key for you. But you have to promise to be careful and not lose it. And you have to share the treasure, okay?" Mom said, giving them a key from her key ring.
+
+"Thank you, Mom! We promise! We will share the treasure!" Ben and Lily said, hugging Mom and taking the key.
+
+They ran back to the garden, excited to find the treasure. They dug under the big tree and found a wooden box. They used the key to open it and saw shiny coins and colorful beads.
+
+"Wow, Ben, we found the treasure! Look how pretty it is!" Lily said, picking up a coin.
+
+"It is, Lily, it is! We are rich pirates! Let's count the coins and divide them equally!" Ben said, picking up a bead.
+
+They counted the coins and the beads and gave half to each other. They were happy and proud of their adventure. They thanked Mom for the key and showed her their treasure. Mom was happy to see them smile and praised them for their creativity. She told them they could keep the treasure in their room, but they had to clean up the garden. Ben and Lily agreed and did as Mom said. They had a wonderful day playing pirates and finding treasure.
+Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a shiny jewel on the ground. It was blue and sparkly and looked very cool.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lila said, picking up the jewel. "It is so pretty! Can I keep it?"
+
+Ben frowned. He wanted the jewel too. He thought it was not fair that Lila found it first. He tried to grab the jewel from Lila's hand.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lila said, holding the jewel tight. "I saw it first! You can't have it!"
+
+They started to pull and tug on the jewel, each trying to get it for themselves. They did not speak nicely to each other. They did not share. They did not have fun.
+
+Then, a lady came by. She saw the jewel and the children. She looked sad.
+
+"Excuse me, children," she said. "That jewel is mine. I lost it when I was walking here. It is very special to me. It was a gift from my grandma, who is not here anymore. Can you please give it back to me?"
+
+Lila and Ben stopped fighting. They felt sorry for the lady. They realized that the jewel was not theirs to keep. They looked at each other and nodded.
+
+"Here you go, lady," Lila said, handing the jewel to the lady. "We are sorry we took it. We did not know it was yours. We hope you are happy now."
+
+"Thank you, children," the lady said, smiling. "You are very kind and honest. You made me happy. And you know what? You can have this instead." She gave them each a sticker with a star on it. "This is a jewel too, a jewel of friendship. It is more valuable than any shiny thing. It means you care for each other and share. That is what makes you cool."
+
+Lila and Ben thanked the lady and hugged each other. They put the stickers on their shirts and smiled. They learned that sharing is better than fighting, and that friendship is the best jewel of all. They went back to playing in the park, happy and cool.
+Lily was a little girl who loved flowers. She had a shelf in her room where she kept her flower pots. She watered them every day and talked to them. She hoped they would bloom soon and make her room more beautiful.
+
+One day, she saw a new flower pot on her shelf. It was a gift from her grandma. It had a small green plant with a big bud. Lily was very happy. She thanked her grandma and gave her a hug. She asked her, "What kind of flower is this, grandma?"
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "This is a sunflower, my dear. It is a very special flower. It follows the sun and turns its face to the light. It will bloom when it is ready and show you its bright yellow petals."
+
+Lily was curious and excited. She wanted to see the sunflower bloom. She watched it every day and waited for the bud to open. She moved the pot to different places on the shelf, trying to find the best spot for the sunflower.
+
+But the sunflower did not bloom. Lily was sad and confused. She wondered what was wrong with the sunflower. She asked her grandma, "Why doesn't the sunflower bloom, grandma? I water it and talk to it and move it to the sun, but it still doesn't open. Is it sick?"
+
+Grandma shook her head and said, "No, my dear, the sunflower is not sick. It is just waiting for the right time to bloom. You see, the sunflower needs more than water and sun and words. It needs space and air and freedom. It cannot bloom on the shelf, where it is crowded and trapped. It needs to be outside, where it can stretch and grow and face the sun."
+
+Lily understood. She realized that she had been too eager and impatient. She had not thought about what the sunflower needed. She felt sorry for the sunflower. She said, "I'm sorry, sunflower. I wanted you to bloom for me, but I didn't think about what you wanted. I will take you outside and plant you in the garden, where you can be happy and free."
+
+She did as she said. She took the sunflower pot and went to the garden. She dug a hole and planted the sunflower. She watered it and said, "Goodbye, sunflower. I hope you will bloom soon and show me your smile."
+
+The next day, Lily went to the garden to check on the sunflower. She was amazed and delighted. The sunflower had bloomed. It had a big yellow face that looked at the sun. It was happy and free. Lily was happy too. She learned a lesson. She learned that sometimes, you have to let go of what you love and let it be itself. She learned that flowers bloom when they are ready, not when you want them to. She learned that happiness comes from giving, not from taking. She smiled and said, "Hello, sunflower. You are beautiful. Thank you for blooming for me."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their dolls. They saw some smoke coming from a big house nearby. They were scared and curious.
+
+"Let's go see what is happening," Ben said.
+
+"No, we should not go. Smoke is bad. It can hurt us," Lily said.
+
+"But maybe someone needs help. Maybe there is a fire," Ben said.
+
+He picked up his doll and started to walk towards the house. Lily followed him with her doll. She did not want to be alone.
+
+As they got closer, they saw a fire truck and some people in yellow clothes. They had big hoses and helmets. They were spraying water on the house. The smoke was getting smaller.
+
+"Hello, little ones. What are you doing here?" a gentle voice asked.
+
+They turned around and saw a lady with a red cross on her shirt. She was holding a clipboard and a pen.
+
+"We came to see the smoke," Ben said.
+
+"That was not a good idea. The smoke is dangerous. It can make you cough and feel sick. You should stay away from it," the lady said.
+
+She knelt down and smiled at them.
+
+"Are you OK? Do you need anything?" she asked.
+
+"We are OK. We have our dolls," Lily said.
+
+She showed her doll to the lady.
+
+"That's nice. What are their names?" the lady asked.
+
+"This is Anna and this is Elsa," Lily said.
+
+"They are from Frozen. We like Frozen," Ben said.
+
+He showed his doll to the lady.
+
+"That's cool. I like Frozen too. Do you want to sing a song from Frozen with me?" the lady suggested.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They liked singing.
+
+The lady started to sing "Let It Go" and they joined her. They forgot about the smoke and the fire. They felt happy and safe. The lady gave them a hug and a sticker. She told them to go back to the park and play. She said she would come and check on them later.
+
+Lily and Ben thanked the lady and ran back to the park. They played with their dolls and sang more songs. They did not go near the smoke again. They learned a lesson.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to climb the big tree and pretend they were birds. But the tree was old and some of the branches were weak. Lila's mom had told them to be careful and not go too high.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a nest!" Lila shouted from a branch. She saw a small bowl of sticks and feathers with three eggs inside. "Can we touch them?"
+
+"No, Lila, we can't. They belong to the birds. We have to leave them alone." Ben said. He was on a lower branch and he knew that Lila's branch was not very strong.
+
+But Lila did not listen. She reached out her hand to touch the eggs. She wanted to see how they felt. But as she did, she heard a loud crack. Her branch broke and she started to fall.
+
+"Help, Ben, help!" Lila screamed as she fell. She was scared and she closed her eyes.
+
+Ben saw Lila fall and he was scared too. He quickly climbed down the tree and ran to her. He hoped she was not hurt.
+
+"Lila, Lila, are you okay?" Ben asked as he reached her. He saw that she had landed on some soft grass and she was not bleeding. But she was crying and she had a big bump on her head.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry. I was bad. I should have listened to you and mom." Lila sobbed. She felt pain in her head and she was sorry for the eggs.
+
+"It's okay, Lila, it's okay. You're not bad. You just made a mistake. Come on, let's go to mom. She can repair your bump and make you feel better." Ben said. He hugged Lila and helped her stand up.
+
+They walked to the house, holding hands. As they did, they heard a loud squawk. They looked up and saw a wild bird flying over the tree. It was angry and it was looking for its nest and eggs. It saw the broken branch and the empty nest on the ground. It was sad and it was looking for its babies. It did not know that Lila and Ben had not meant to hurt them.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to learn new things. One day, their mom took them to see a mill, where people made flour from wheat. The mill was big and noisy, and had a big wheel that turned by the water.
+
+"Look, Anna, look, Ben, this is how the mill works," their mom said. "The water makes the wheel spin, and the wheel makes the stones grind the wheat. Then the flour comes out of a pipe, and goes into bags."
+
+Anna and Ben watched the mill with wonder. They wanted to touch the wheel and the stones and the flour, but their mom said no.
+
+"It's not safe, kids. The wheel and the stones are very strong and fast, and they can hurt you. And the flour can make you sneeze and cough. You have to stay away from them."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded, but they were still curious. They saw a cat sitting on a window sill, looking at the mill. The cat had long, flexible whiskers and a fluffy tail. Anna and Ben liked cats, and they wanted to pet it.
+
+"Can we go and see the cat, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't scare the cat, and don't go near the mill," their mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben ran to the window, and called the cat softly. The cat looked at them, and meowed. It seemed friendly, and let them stroke its fur. Anna and Ben were happy, and forgot about the mill.
+
+But the cat did not forget. It saw a mouse running out of the pipe, carrying a grain of wheat. The cat wanted to catch the mouse, and jumped off the window. It ran after the mouse, towards the wheel.
+
+"Cat, no!" Anna and Ben shouted. They saw the cat running into danger, and felt scared. They wanted to help the cat, but they remembered their mom's words. They did not know what to do.
+
+Their mom saw them, and saw the cat. She ran to the mill, and shouted at the miller.
+
+"Stop the wheel, stop the wheel! There's a cat in there!"
+
+The miller heard her, and pulled a lever. The wheel stopped, and the stones stopped. The mill became quiet.
+
+The miller and their mom went to the wheel, and looked for the cat. They found it, hiding under a wooden plank. It was scared, but not hurt. The mouse had escaped, but the cat did not care. It was happy to see their mom, and licked her hand.
+
+Their mom picked up the cat, and hugged it. She thanked the miller, and went back to Anna and Ben. She gave them the cat, and they hugged it too.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. We didn't mean to let the cat go," Anna said.
+
+"It's okay, kids. I'm glad you and the cat are safe. You learned a lesson today, didn't you?" their mom said.
+
+"Yes, mom. We learned that the mill is not a place to play, and that we have to listen to you," Ben said.
+
+"And we learned that the cat is very flexible, and very brave," Anna said.
+
+They all smiled, and went home. They never forgot their visit to the mill, and the cat that taught them something new.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a fat dog. The dog has a red collar and a long tail. The dog looks sad.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe he has a owner. Maybe he is lost," Ben says.
+
+They go near the dog. The dog wags his tail. He licks Lily's hand. He sniffs Ben's shoe.
+
+"Hi, dog. What is your name?" Lily says.
+
+The dog barks. He looks at them with big eyes.
+
+"He likes us. Can we give him a hug?" Ben says.
+
+They hug the dog. The dog is soft and warm. He makes happy noises.
+
+"Let's take him to the playground. Maybe he wants to play," Lily says.
+
+They lead the dog to the playground. They run and slide and swing with the dog. The dog is fast and fun. He chases a ball and brings it back.
+
+They have a good time. They forget about the time.
+
+Then they hear a voice.
+
+"Spot! Spot! Where are you?"
+
+They look up. They see a man. The man has a red hat and a blue coat. He looks worried.
+
+"Is that your dog?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, he is. He ran away from me. I was looking for him everywhere. Thank you for finding him," the man says.
+
+He comes to them. He hugs the dog. The dog licks his face.
+
+"Are you his friends?" the man asks.
+
+"Yes, we are. We played with him. He is a nice dog," Ben says.
+
+"You are very kind. He is a nice dog, but he is also very curious. Sometimes he gets into trouble. I'm sorry if he bothered you," the man says.
+
+"He didn't bother us. He made us happy," Lily says.
+
+The man smiles. He gives them a hug.
+
+"Thank you for taking care of him. Do you want to come with me? I have some cookies and juice at home. You can play with Spot some more," the man says.
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They nod.
+
+"Yes, please. We like cookies and juice. And we like Spot," they say.
+
+They follow the man. They hold his hands. They lead the dog.
+
+They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a huge dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and big ears. The dog comes to them and wags its tail.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Lily says. She wants to pet the dog. Ben is scared. He hides behind Lily.
+
+"Who are you?" the dog asks. The dog can talk! Lily and Ben are surprised.
+
+"I am Lily and this is Ben. We are friends. Who are you?" Lily asks. She has a question for the dog.
+
+"I am Max. I am a friendly dog. I like to play. Do you want to play with me?" Max asks. He has a question for Lily and Ben.
+
+Lily nods. She likes to play. She is not scared of Max. She thinks he is nice.
+
+"OK, I will play with you. But Ben is scared. He does not like big dogs. Can you be gentle with him?" Lily asks. She cares about Ben.
+
+"Of course, I can be gentle. I do not want to scare Ben. I want to be his friend too. Come, Ben. Do not be afraid. I will not hurt you. I will lick you and make you laugh." Max says. He wants to be friends with Ben.
+
+Ben hears Max. He sees that Max is friendly. He sees that Lily is happy. He decides to be brave. He comes out from behind Lily. He pets Max. Max licks him and makes him laugh.
+
+Lily, Ben and Max play together in the park. They have fun. They are friends. The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room when they heard a loud noise outside. They ran to the window and saw an enormous tornado spinning in the sky. It was very scary and loud.
+
+"Mommy, what is that?" Lily asked, holding her teddy bear.
+
+"That is a tornado, sweetie. It is a big wind that can pick up things and throw them around. We need to go to the basement and hide until it goes away," Mommy said, grabbing a flashlight and a radio.
+
+"Come on, Lily, Ben, follow me," Mommy said, leading them to the basement door.
+
+They went down the stairs and found a cozy corner with some blankets and pillows. Mommy turned on the radio and listened for news about the tornado. Lily and Ben cuddled with their toys and Mommy.
+
+After a while, the noise outside got quieter and quieter. Mommy checked the radio and heard that the tornado was gone and it was safe to go outside. She smiled and hugged Lily and Ben.
+
+"Let's go see if everything is okay," she said, taking them upstairs.
+
+They opened the door and saw a lot of mess outside. The tornado had knocked down some trees, ripped off some roofs, and thrown some cars and trash around. Lily and Ben gasped.
+
+"Wow, look at all the mess," Ben said.
+
+"Yes, it is a lot of mess. We are lucky that our house is still standing and we are not hurt," Mommy said.
+
+"Can we help clean up?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. But first, we need to wash our hands and faces. They are very dirty from the dust and the wind," Mommy said.
+
+"Okay, Mommy," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They went to the bathroom and washed their hands and faces with soap and water. They felt much better and ready to help. They put on their jackets and gloves and went outside with Mommy. They helped pick up some branches, toys, and papers and put them in a big pile. They also checked on their neighbors and friends and made sure they were okay.
+
+They worked hard and had fun. They felt proud and happy. They had survived the enormous tornado and learned to help each other. They were a brave and kind family.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, it rains a lot. The water goes up and up. The park becomes a flood. Tom and Anna are scared.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom shouts. He is on a swing. The water is near his feet. He cannot get down.
+
+"Help! Help!" Anna shouts. She is on a slide. The water is near her knees. She cannot get down.
+
+A man sees them. He has a big boat. He comes to the park. He hears Tom and Anna.
+
+"Don't worry, I will help you!" the man says. He goes to the swing. He lifts Tom and puts him in the boat. He goes to the slide. He lifts Anna and puts her in the boat.
+

+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box of candles in the attic. The candles are different colors and shapes. Some are long and thin, some are short and fat, some are curved and twisted.
+
+"Wow, look at all these candles!" Lily says. "They are so pretty. Can we play with them?"
+
+"Sure, why not?" Ben says. "But we have to share them. There are many candles, but not enough for each of us to have one."
+
+"Okay, let's share them. How do we share them?" Lily asks.
+
+"Let's take turns. You pick one candle, then I pick one candle, then you pick another one, and so on. That way, we both get to choose some candles," Ben says.
+
+"Good idea. I go first. I want this candle. It is pink and has a flower on it," Lily says. She picks up the candle and holds it in her hand.
+
+"I want this candle. It is blue and has a star on it," Ben says. He picks up the candle and holds it in his hand.
+
+They keep taking turns until they have no more candles left in the box. They have a pile of candles on the floor.
+
+"Look at our candles. They are so nice. What can we do with them?" Lily asks.
+
+"Let's make a funny game. We can pretend that the candles are people and animals. We can give them names and voices and make them talk to each other," Ben says.
+
+"Fun! I like that game. Let's do it," Lily says.
+
+They start to play with the candles. They make them walk and jump and dance and sing. They make them say funny things and laugh. They have a lot of fun with the candles. They share them and play with them. They are happy.
+Anna likes to print pictures with her crayons. She prints flowers, stars, and animals on big papers. She is very creative and makes her pictures colorful and happy.

+
+One day, Lily was playing with Anna in the garden. She saw a big spider on a flower. Lily was not afraid of spiders. She wanted to show Anna the spider. She said, "Look, Anna, a spider! It has eight legs and a big body. Do you want to touch it?"
+
+But Anna did not want to touch the spider. She was worried that the spider would bite her. She said, "No, Lily, no! I don't like spiders. They are scary and hairy. Please take me away from the spider!"
+
+Lily did not listen to Anna. She thought Anna was silly. She said, "Don't be scared, Anna. The spider is nice. It won't hurt you. See, I can touch it. It is soft and tickly."
+
+Lily reached out her hand to touch the spider. But the spider did not like to be touched. It was angry and scared. It jumped on Lily's hand and bit her. Lily screamed and dropped Anna. She ran to her mom, crying and holding her hand.
+

+
+She picks up Sam and takes him to the car. She drives to the doctor. Ben follows. He feels sorry for Sam. He wishes he had stopped him.
+
+The doctor says Sam has a bad bug in his tummy. He has to stay in the hospital for a long time. He has to take medicine and drink clean water. He misses his home and his toys and his brother.

+Sam learns a hard lesson. He never drinks dirty water again. He always listens to Ben and his mom. He hopes he gets better soon.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They live in a big city with many cars and buildings. They like to play in the park near their home. One day, they see a big bus with many people inside. The bus has a sign that says "Zoo".
+
+"Look, Anna, the bus is going to the zoo!" Tom says. "I want to go too. I want to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants. Do you want to go with me?"
+
+Anna shakes her head. "No, Tom, I don't want to go. The zoo is too far. It is in a distant place. We have to ride the bus for a long time. I don't like the bus. It is noisy and crowded and bumpy. I want to stay here and play with the swings and the slides and the sandbox."
+
+Tom is sad. He really wants to go to the zoo. He tries to convince Anna to change her mind. He tells her how fun and exciting the zoo is. He tells her how many animals they can see and learn about. He tells her how they can have a picnic and buy ice cream. But Anna refuses. She says she is happy in the park. She says she is afraid of the bus and the zoo.
+
+Tom has to make a choice. He can go to the zoo by himself and leave Anna behind. Or he can stay in the park with Anna and forget about the zoo. He thinks for a while. He likes the zoo, but he likes Anna more. He decides to stay with his friend. He says, "Okay, Anna, I will stay with you. We can play in the park and have fun. Maybe another day we can go to the zoo together. But only if you want to."
+
+Anna smiles. She is glad that Tom is staying with her. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I am sorry I don't want to go to the zoo. Maybe another day I will be brave and go with you. But only if you hold my hand."

+They hug and run to the swings. They are happy in the park. They are happy in the city. They are happy with each other.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a toy car that could make noises and move when he pressed a button. Lily had a doll that could talk and sing when she pulled a cord. They were having fun, but they also wanted to try each other's toys.

+"Can I play with your car, Tom?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but only for a little bit. Then you have to give it back," Tom said.
+
+He gave Lily his car and took her doll. He pulled the cord and heard the doll say, "I love you, Lily. You are my best friend."
+
+Tom smiled and hugged the doll. He liked how it talked to him. He thought it was better than his car.
+
+Lily pressed the button and heard the car make a loud vroom. She liked how it moved. She thought it was better than her doll.

+She pushed the car around the floor and made it go fast. She saw Tom holding her doll and felt jealous. She wanted her doll back.
+
+"Tom, can I have my doll back, please?" Lily said.
+
+"No, I like your doll. It is nice to me. You can keep my car," Tom said.
+
+He pulled the cord again and heard the doll say, "You are so smart, Tom. You are my best friend."
+
+Lily felt angry and sad. She didn't want his car. She wanted her doll. She tried to grab the doll from Tom, but he held it tight.
+
+"Let go of my doll, Tom. It is mine. You are mean," Lily said.
+
+"No, it is mine now. You are mean. Go away," Tom said.
+
+They started to fight and pull the doll. The cord got stretched and snapped. The doll stopped talking and singing. It was broken.
+
+Tom and Lily both gasped and dropped the doll. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They had ruined their toys and their fun.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was jealous of your doll. I should have given it back to you," Tom said.

+Lily liked to look at the calendar on the wall. It had pictures of different things for each month. She saw flowers, pumpkins, snowmen and more. She wanted to know what they meant.
+
+One day, she asked her mom, "What is this month?" She pointed to a picture of a bunny and some eggs.
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "This is spring, Lily. Spring is when the weather gets warmer and the plants grow. The bunny and the eggs are for a special day called Easter. We celebrate with candy and baskets and fun."
+
+Lily was curious. She wanted to see spring for herself. She put on her shoes and coat and went outside with her mom. She saw bright green grass, yellow daffodils, pink cherry blossoms and blue sky. She heard birds singing, bees buzzing and children laughing. She felt the sun on her face and the breeze in her hair.
+
+She ran to a big tree and saw something move. She looked closer and saw a furry brown bunny. It had long ears, a twitchy nose and a fluffy tail. It looked at her with big eyes and then hopped away. Lily followed it, trying to catch it. She laughed and shouted, "Spring, spring, spring!"

+
+"Where did it go?" Sara asks. She is sad. She wanted the snake.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. He is glad. He did not want the snake. He thinks it is scary and mean.

+
+They have fun in the pond. They splash and laugh and catch things. They are happy. They are twins. They like to play together.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a new toy. It was a big plastic bottle with a hole in the lid. They filled it with water from the tap. They wanted to make a mystery.
+
+They took turns to pour the water on different things. They poured it on the grass, the flowers, the rocks, and the dirt. They watched how the water changed the colors and shapes of the things. They wondered what would happen next.
+
+Then they saw a big ant hill. They decided to pour the water on it. They thought it would be fun. They did not know that the ants did not like water. They did not see the ants coming out of the hill. They did not hear the ants buzzing.

+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Ben cries.
+
+Mom runs to Ben and hugs him. She puts some ice on his hand. She is angry and sad.
+
+"Ben, what did you do? You were very bad. You could have hurt yourself more. You did not listen to me. You did not become polite. You have to say sorry to me and to Anna and to Grandma," Mom says.
+
+Ben feels sorry. He knows he was wrong. He looks at Mom and Anna and the cake. He says sorry to them. He says he will not do it again.
+

+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls on her shelf in her room. She gave them names and clothes and made them talk to each other. She liked to make them bow when they met new friends.
+
+One day, she found a new doll in a box. It was a gift from her grandma. She opened the box and saw a pretty doll with long hair and a pink dress. She was very happy and took the doll out of the box. She said, "Hello, doll. What is your name?"
+
+The doll did not answer. Lily looked at the doll and saw that she had a tag on her dress. It said, "My name is Daisy. I can talk and sing if you press my hand." Lily pressed the doll's hand and heard a voice. It said, "Hi, I'm Daisy. I'm happy to meet you. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. My name is Lily. Come, I will show you my other dolls." She took Daisy by the hand and walked to her shelf.

+
+Daisy looked at the other dolls and said, "Hello, Anna, Bella, Cindy, and Dora. You are very nice. But you are also very dirty. You need a bath and some new clothes. Don't you want to look pretty like me?"
+
+The other dolls did not like what Daisy said. They felt sad and angry. They said, "We are not dirty. We are loved. Lily plays with us every day. She does not care if we have stains or holes. She likes us the way we are. You are rude and mean. You are not our friend."
+
+Lily heard what Daisy and the other dolls said. She felt sorry for her old dolls and mad at her new doll. She said, "Daisy, you are wrong. My dolls are not dirty. They are special. They have stories and memories. You are new and shiny, but you are not nice. You hurt my dolls' feelings. You are not my friend either." She took Daisy by the hand and put her back in the box. She said, "Goodbye, Daisy. You can stay in the box until you learn to be kind." She closed the box and put it on the floor. She hugged her old dolls and said, "I'm sorry, dolls. I love you all. You are my best friends." She put them back on the shelf and played with them happily.

+Mom looked at the pond and saw the goose. The goose was eating the bread that Jill and Tom had dropped. The goose was not scary anymore. The goose was happy.
+
+"Jill and Tom, the goose is not scary," Mom said. "The goose was just hungry. The goose likes bread. You gave the goose a nice snack. The goose is your friend."
+
+Jill and Tom looked at the goose and saw that it was not angry anymore. The goose was calm and full. The goose honked softly and nodded its head.
+
+"Hello, goose," Jill and Tom said. "We are sorry we ran away. We are your friends too."
+
+The goose smiled and winked. Jill and Tom smiled and waved. They learned that the goose was not scary, but hungry. They learned that sometimes, a honk is just a hello.
+Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toy ships in the pond. They made them sail and splash and pretend to fight pirates.
+
+One day, they decided to have a race with their ships. They lined them up at one end of the pond and counted to three. Then they blew on their sails and watched them go.
+
+"Go, go, go!" Tom cheered for his red ship. "You are the fastest!"
+
+"No, no, no!" Sam shouted for his blue ship. "You are the strongest!"
+
+The ships moved across the water, sometimes bumping into each other or the reeds. Tom and Sam ran along the edge of the pond, following their ships and cheering.
+
+As they reached the other end of the pond, they saw a big white swan. The swan was graceful and beautiful. It had long neck and wings and a shiny beak. It looked at the ships and made a loud honk.
+
+The swan did not like the ships. It thought they were noisy and rude. It flapped its wings and swam towards them. It snapped its beak at the red ship and the blue ship.
+
+"Watch out!" Tom and Sam cried. "The swan is angry!"
+
+They ran to their ships and tried to save them. But the swan was faster and stronger. It grabbed the red ship and the blue ship with its beak and tossed them in the air. Then it swam away, feeling proud.
+
+Tom and Sam were sad. They looked at their broken ships and felt sorry. They hugged each other and said:
+
+"It's okay. We are still best friends. We can share our other toys."
+
+They picked up their ships and walked back to their home. They decided to play something else. They did not want to race with their ships anymore. They did not like the swan.
+Lisa loves to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She likes to paint things she sees, like trees, flowers, and animals. Today, she wants to paint fruit. She asks her mom to give her some fruit to paint.
+
+Her mom gives her a banana, an apple, and a grape. Lisa says thank you and starts to paint. She paints the banana yellow, the apple red, and the grape purple. She is happy with her painting. She wants to show it to her mom.
+
+She runs to the kitchen with her painting. She sees her mom talking to a lady. The lady is her mom's friend. Lisa says, "Mom, look at my painting!" She holds up her painting. But she does not see that there is paint on her hands. She gets paint on her mom's dress and on the lady's shirt.
+
+The lady gasps. Her mom says, "Oh, Lisa, what have you done?" Lisa looks at the paint. She feels embarrassed. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, lady. I just wanted to show you my painting." She starts to cry.
+
+Her mom hugs her and says, "It's okay, Lisa. I know you didn't mean to. I like your painting. It's very pretty. But next time, please wash your hands before you touch anything." The lady smiles and says, "Don't worry, Lisa. It's not a big deal. I can wash my shirt. And your painting is very nice. You are a good painter." Lisa stops crying and says, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, lady. I'm sorry again." She feels better. She learns to be more careful with paint.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the garden. They dig in the dirt and look for bugs and stones. One day, they discover something shiny and yellow in the ground. They are very curious and excited.
+
+They use their hands and a small shovel to dig out the yellow thing. It is round and smooth and has a hole in the middle. They think it is a ring or a bracelet. They try to put it on their fingers and wrists, but it is too big.
+
+They show their yellow thing to Mom. Mom smiles and tells them it is a coin. A coin is a thing people use to buy things. She says the coin is very old and fragile. Fragile means it can break easily. She says they should be careful with it and not bend it or scratch it.
+
+Anna and Ben are proud of their coin. They think it is a treasure. They put it in a box and keep it in their room. They like to look at it and wonder who had it before them. They think maybe it was a king or a pirate or a fairy. They make up stories about their coin and have fun.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. One day, she found a worm. It was long and slimy and wiggled in her hand.
+
+"Look, Mommy, I found a worm!" Lily said, running to show her mother.
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "That's nice, Lily. But be gentle with the worm. It might be uncomfortable in your hand."
+
+"Why?" Lily asked, curious.
+
+"Because worms like to live in the dirt. That's their home. They need the dirt to breathe and stay moist. If you keep them in your hand, they might get dry and hurt," Mommy explained.
+
+"Oh, I don't want to hurt the worm. I want to be its friend," Lily said, feeling sorry for the worm.
+
+"Then why don't you put it back in the dirt, and say goodbye to it? Maybe you can find another bug to play with," Mommy suggested.
+
+"Okay, Mommy. Bye-bye, worm. Thank you for playing with me," Lily said, gently placing the worm in a hole in the dirt. She watched it wriggle away and disappear.
+
+Then she saw a ladybug on a flower. She smiled and reached for it. Maybe the ladybug would like to play with her.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big car in the street. It was shiny and red and had four doors. Tom and Sue wanted to play with the car, but it was not theirs.
+
+"Who owns this car?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe it belongs to a rich man," Sue said. "He must have a lot of money to buy such a nice car."
+
+Tom and Sue looked around, but they did not see anyone. They decided to get inside the car and pretend to drive. They pushed the buttons and turned the wheel and made vroom-vroom noises. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Tom pushed a button that made the car start. The car moved very fast and went out of control. Tom and Sue were scared and did not know how to stop the car. The car hit a tree and made a loud crash. The car was broken and so were some of the toys inside.
+
+Tom and Sue got out of the car and ran away. They hoped no one would see them. But they were wrong. The rich man who owned the car saw them. He was very angry and shouted at them.
+
+"Hey, you little brats! What did you do to my car? You ruined it! You have to pay for the repair!"
+
+Tom and Sue did not have any money. They did not know what to do. They felt very sorry and very afraid. The rich man grabbed them by the arms and dragged them to his house. He said he would call their parents and make them pay. Tom and Sue cried and wished they had never played with the car. They had a very bad fall.
+Tom is a lawyer. He likes to help people with their problems. He works in a big building with many rooms. He has a desk, a chair, and a computer. He also has a toy. It is a top. He likes to spin it on his desk when he is bored.
+
+One day, Tom has a very hard problem. He has to talk to a mean man who wants to take his client's money. The mean man is loud and rude. He says bad things to Tom. Tom feels angry and sad. He wants to spin his top, but he can't. He has to work.
+
+He tries to be nice to the mean man. He says, "Please, let's talk and find a fair solution. You don't have to be so wild." But the mean man does not listen. He says, "No, I want all the money. You are a bad lawyer. You can't stop me."
+
+Tom feels very upset. He does not know what to do. He looks at his top. He has an idea. He says, "OK, I have a deal for you. Let's spin the top. If it stops on the red side, you can have all the money. If it stops on the blue side, you have to give some money to my client. Do you agree?"
+
+The mean man thinks for a moment. He likes to gamble. He thinks he can win. He says, "Fine, let's do it. Spin the top." Tom spins the top on his desk. It spins and spins. Tom and the mean man watch it. They hope for their color.
+
+The top stops. It is blue. Tom smiles. He says, "You lose. You have to give some money to my client. That is the law." The mean man frowns. He says, "No, this is not fair. This is a trick. You cheated." He tries to grab the top. Tom holds it tight. He says, "No, this is my toy. You agreed to the deal. You have to keep your word."
+
+They start to fight. They pull and push. They shout and scream. They make a lot of noise. The other people in the building hear them. They come to see what is wrong. They see Tom and the mean man fighting over the top. They are shocked. They say, "What are you doing? This is not how lawyers behave. This is wild. Stop it right now."
+
+Tom and the mean man stop. They feel ashamed. They say, "Sorry, sorry, we were just playing." They let go of the top. They sit down. They talk. They find a fair solution. They shake hands. They say, "Thank you, thank you, we are sorry." They leave.
+
+Tom is happy. He solved his problem. He helped his client. He also had some fun. He spins his top again. He says, "I like my toy. It is a good toy. It helps me think. It makes me smile." He puts it in his pocket. He goes home. He tells his mom about his day. She hugs him. She says, "I'm proud of you, Tom. You are a good lawyer. And a good son."
+Lily and Max are playing in the yard. They have a ball and a stick. They throw the ball and run after it. They hit the stick on the ground and make noise. They are having fun.
+
+But then, a big dog comes out of the fence. The dog is rough and loud. He barks and growls at Lily and Max. He wants the ball and the stick. He runs towards them.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily shouts. "This is our yard!"
+
+But the dog does not listen. He jumps and tries to bite Lily and Max. They are scared and run away. They drop the ball and the stick.
+
+The dog grabs the ball and the stick in his mouth. He is happy. He thinks he won the game.
+
+Lily and Max run to the house. They knock on the door. Mom opens the door.
+
+"Mom, mom, a big dog chased us!" Lily cries. "He was rough and tried to bite us!"
+
+"Oh, no, are you okay?" Mom asks. She hugs Lily and Max. "Where is the dog now?"
+
+"He has our ball and our stick!" Max says. "He took them from the yard!"
+
+Mom looks out of the window. She sees the dog playing with the ball and the stick. She knows the dog. He belongs to the neighbor.
+
+"Don't worry, kids," Mom says. "That's Rex. He is not a bad dog. He just likes to play. But he does not know how to share. I will talk to the neighbor and get your ball and your stick back. Come on, let's have some cookies and milk."
+Tom and Mia liked to play with their toy boat. They took it to the pond and made it sail on the water. They pretended they were pirates and looked for treasure.
+
+One day, they saw something big and scary in the pond. It had green scales, sharp teeth and a long tail. It was a monster! The monster roared and splashed and tried to catch the boat.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Mia shouted. They were very afraid. They wanted to run away, but they did not want to leave their boat.
+
+Then, they heard a bark. It was their dog, Rex. Rex ran to the pond and jumped in. He barked and bit the monster. The monster was hurt and scared. It swam away and hid under the water.
+
+Rex swam back to the shore and brought the boat with him. Tom and Mia hugged him and thanked him. They were very grateful. Rex was their hero. He saved their boat and their game.
+
+They took their boat and their dog and went home. They told their mom and dad what happened. They were very proud of Rex. They gave him a big bone and a lot of cuddles. Rex wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy. They were a happy family.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to examine things. She liked to look at them, touch them, and ask questions about them. One day, she saw a shiny thing on the bathroom sink. It was a razor that her daddy used to shave his beard.
+
+Lily wanted to examine the razor. She climbed on a stool and reached for it. She did not know that the razor was sharp and could hurt her. She grabbed the razor and felt a sting on her finger. She dropped the razor and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she wailed.
+
+Her mommy heard her cry and ran to the bathroom. She saw Lily holding her finger and blood on the sink. She saw the razor on the floor.
+
+"Oh, Lily, what did you do?" she asked.
+
+"I wanted to examine the razor," Lily sobbed. "But it bit me!"
+
+Mommy hugged Lily and took her to the kitchen. She washed her finger and put a band-aid on it. She explained to Lily that the razor was not a toy and that it was very dangerous.
+
+"Razors are for grown-ups only," she said. "They have blades that can cut you. You should never touch them, okay?"
+
+"Okay, mommy," Lily said. "I'm sorry. I won't touch the razor again."
+
+Mommy kissed Lily and gave her a cookie. She told her that she loved her and that she was a good girl for being curious. But she also told her that she should always ask before examining things that she did not know.
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She learned a lesson that day. She still liked to examine things, but she was more careful and asked for permission. She did not want to get hurt again. She wanted to be a happy and safe little girl.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red vehicle that could make noises and move by itself. They called it Zoomy, and they took turns to drive it around the house and the yard.
+
+One day, their mom told them that they had to go to the store with her. She said they could bring one toy each, but not Zoomy, because it was too big and noisy. Ben and Sam were sad, because they wanted to play with Zoomy. They asked their mom if they could stay home with Zoomy, but she said no, they had to go with her.
+
+Ben and Sam looked at their other toys, and tried to choose one. Ben picked a blue ball that could bounce high. Sam picked a yellow duck that could squeak. They put their toys in a bag, and followed their mom to the car. They hoped Zoomy would be okay without them.
+
+On the way to the store, they saw a big truck that looked like Zoomy, but bigger and louder. It had a sign that said "Toys for Kids". Ben and Sam wondered what kind of toys were inside the truck. They wished they could see them.
+
+When they got to the store, their mom told them to stay close to her, and not to touch anything. She said she had to buy some things for the house, and then they would go back home. Ben and Sam nodded, but they were bored. They wanted to play with Zoomy.
+
+They walked around the store, and saw many things, but nothing as fun as Zoomy. They saw clothes, and books, and food, and tools, but no toys. They asked their mom if they could buy a toy, but she said no, they had enough toys at home.
+
+They were about to leave the store, when they heard a loud noise. It was the truck that looked like Zoomy, but bigger and louder. It had stopped in front of the store, and the driver had opened the back door. He was taking out boxes of toys, and putting them on a cart. He was smiling, and he said, "Hello, kids! I have a surprise for you!"
+
+Ben and Sam ran to the truck, and saw all kinds of toys. They saw dolls, and cars, and trains, and planes, and animals, and puzzles, and games. They were amazed, and they wanted to play with them all.
+
+The driver saw them, and said, "Do you like toys, kids?" Ben and Sam nodded, and said, "Yes, we love toys!" The driver said, "Well, you are lucky, because I have a special gift for you. You can choose one toy each, and take it home with you. Go ahead, pick one!"
+
+Ben and Sam could not believe it. They looked at their mom, and she nodded, and said, "It's okay, you can accept the gift. It's very nice of the driver to share his toys with you. But be quick, we have to go soon."
+
+Ben and Sam thanked the driver, and looked at the toys. They saw many toys, but they only wanted one. They saw a big red vehicle that looked like Zoomy, but bigger and better. It had lights, and horns, and buttons, and stickers. It was the best toy they had ever seen.
+
+They both reached for the vehicle, and said, "We want this one!" The driver smiled, and said, "You can have it, kids. It's yours. But you have to share it, okay? It's a big vehicle, and it needs two drivers. One to steer, and one to honk. Can you do that?"
+
+Ben and Sam nodded, and said, "Yes, we can do that!" They hugged the vehicle, and thanked the driver again. They were so happy, they could not stop smiling. They put the vehicle in the car, and said goodbye to the driver. They said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
+
+They drove home, and played with the vehicle all day. They took turns to steer and honk, and they had so much fun. They forgot about Zoomy, and their other toys. They only wanted to play with their new vehicle. They called it Zoomy 2, and they loved it.
+
+They were very lucky, and they knew it. They had the best toy in the world, and they had each other. They were happy, and they said, "We are the best brothers ever!"
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big red apple on a tree. They wanted to taste it, but it was too high for them.
+
+"Let's get a step from the shed," Ben said. "Then we can reach the apple."
+
+They ran to the shed and found a step. They carried it to the tree and put it under the apple. Ben climbed on the step and stretched his arm. He touched the apple, but it was still too far.
+
+"Can you help me, Lily?" he asked.
+
+Lily was thoughtful. She had an idea. She found a stick on the ground and gave it to Ben.
+
+"Use this to push the apple," she said.
+
+Ben took the stick and pushed the apple. The apple fell from the tree and landed on the grass. Ben and Lily cheered. They picked up the apple and shared it. They bit into it and tasted the sweet and juicy fruit.
+
+"Mmm, this is the best apple ever," Ben said.
+
+"Thank you for helping me, Lily," he said.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben," Lily said. "You are a good brother."
+
+They smiled and hugged. They enjoyed their apple and their garden. They were happy twins.
+Lily and Mom went to the store. Lily liked the store. It had many things to see and touch. Mom said, "Lily, stay close to me. The store is very lively today. There are many people and carts."
+
+Lily nodded, but she saw a big bear. The bear was brown and soft. It had a red bow on its neck. Lily wanted the bear. She ran to the bear and hugged it. She said, "Mom, look! A bear!"
+
+Mom did not hear Lily. She was looking at some clothes. Lily felt sad. She wanted Mom to see the bear. She pointed at the bear and said, "Mom, Mom, Mom!"
+
+But Mom did not look. She walked away. Lily did not see Mom. She felt scared. She cried, "Mom, where are you?"
+
+A nice lady heard Lily. She came to Lily and said, "Are you lost, little girl? Where is your mom?"
+
+Lily pointed at the clothes and said, "Mom was there. But she is gone. I want Mom."
+
+The nice lady said, "Don't worry, we will find your mom. Come with me. We will go to the front of the store. They have a loud speaker. They can call your mom."
+
+Lily held the nice lady's hand. She still had the bear. She hoped Mom would come soon. She hoped Mom would like the bear. She hoped Mom would not be mad.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books on the carpet. Sometimes they pretend the carpet is a magic carpet. They wonder where it can take them.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the corner. It has a picture of a castle on it. Tom and Lily are curious. They open the box and see a shiny crown and a wand inside.
+
+"Wow, look at these!" Tom says. He puts the crown on his head and holds the wand. "I am the king of the carpet!"
+
+Lily giggles. She takes the wand from Tom and waves it. "I am the fairy of the carpet! I can make wishes come true!"
+
+They take turns making wishes with the wand. They wish for candy, balloons, flowers, and animals. They see them appear on the carpet. They are happy and excited. They share their treats and play with their new friends.
+
+They have so much fun that they forget about the time. They hear their mom calling them for dinner. They look at the clock and see that it is late.
+
+"Oops, we have to go!" Lily says. She picks up the wand and waves it again. "I wish all the things on the carpet go back to the box!"
+
+The candy, balloons, flowers, and animals disappear. The carpet is clean again. Tom and Lily put the crown and the wand back in the box. They close it and hide it under the bed.
+
+They run to the kitchen and hug their mom. They tell her about their adventure on the carpet. She smiles and listens. She is happy to see them happy. She wonders what they will do next.
+The boy had a soft ball. He liked to roll it on the floor. He rolled it to his mom and said, "Mom, play with me!"
+
+Mom smiled and rolled the ball back to the boy. She said, "OK, let's play. Can you roll the ball to the door?"
+
+The boy nodded and rolled the ball to the door. He said, "I did it! I rolled the ball to the door!"
+
+Mom clapped and said, "Good job! You are very good at rolling the ball. Can you roll the ball to the window?"
+
+The boy shook his head and said, "No, I can't. The window is too high. I can't roll the ball to the window."
+
+Mom said, "That's OK. You can try something else. How about you roll the ball to the cat?"
+
+The boy looked at the cat. The cat was sleeping on the couch. The boy said, "No, I don't want to roll the ball to the cat. The cat will be mad. The cat will scratch me."
+
+Mom said, "You are right. The cat doesn't like to be disturbed. How about you roll the ball to me?"
+
+The boy smiled and said, "Yes, I want to roll the ball to you. You are fun. You are nice. You are my mom."
+
+He rolled the ball to mom and hugged her. Mom hugged him back and said, "I love you, my boy. You are my son."
+Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play with blocks. They built many structures with different shapes and colors. They had fun making towers, bridges, houses and cars.
+
+One day, they decided to build a big castle with all their blocks. They worked hard and used all their blocks to make the walls, the doors, the windows and the towers. They were very proud of their structure.
+
+"Look at our castle!" Ben said. "It is the best structure ever!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily agreed. "Let's go inside and pretend we are the king and the queen!"
+
+They went inside their castle and played for a while. They had crowns, cloaks and jewels. They gave orders to their imaginary subjects and had a feast.
+
+But they were so busy playing that they forgot to clean up their blocks. They left them all over the floor and went to have a snack.
+
+Mom came and saw the mess. She was not happy.
+
+"Ben and Lily, what is this?" she asked. "You made a big structure, but you forgot to put away your blocks. That is not nice. You have to clean up after you play. You can't be lazy."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry. They knew Mom was right. They had been lazy and forgetful. They apologized to Mom and went back to their castle.
+
+They took apart their structure and put their blocks back in their box. They thanked Mom for letting them play with the blocks and promised to clean up next time.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She was glad they learned their lesson.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't forget to clean up after you play. Don't be lazy. Be responsible and respectful.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play pirates. They had a big box that they pretended was their ship. They also had some shiny coins that they pretended were gold. They hid the gold under a blanket in the box.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the park. His name was Tom and he had a red hat. He looked at their box and asked, "What are you playing?"
+
+"We are pirates," Lily said. "This is our ship and we have gold."
+
+"Can I see your gold?" Tom asked.
+
+"OK, but you have to be nice," Ben said. He lifted the blanket and showed Tom the coins.
+
+Tom's eyes grew wide. He was eager to have the gold. He grabbed a handful of coins and ran away.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lily and Ben shouted. "You can't steal our gold!"
+
+They chased Tom across the park, but he was too fast. He ran out of the gate and disappeared.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They had lost some of their gold. They went back to their box and counted the coins. They still had some left, but not as many as before.
+
+They hugged each other and said, "We are still pirates. We will find more gold. And we will never let anyone steal from us again."
+Sam likes to print pictures of motorcycles. He has a big book with many motorcycles of different colors and shapes. He uses his crayons to make the motorcycles look like the ones in the book. He prints them on white paper and sticks them on his wall.
+
+One day, Sam's mom comes to his room and sees his wall. She is not happy. She says, "Sam, what a messy wall! You have too many pictures of motorcycles. You need to take some of them down and clean your room."
+
+Sam does not want to take his pictures down. He says, "But mom, I love motorcycles. They are fast and loud and cool. I want to have a motorcycle when I grow up."
+
+Mom says, "I know you love motorcycles, Sam, but you also need to keep your room tidy. How about this? You can choose your favorite pictures of motorcycles and keep them on your wall. But you have to give the rest of them to your friends or recycle them. And you have to put your crayons and your book away."
+
+Sam thinks for a moment. He does not like to give away his pictures, but he also wants to make his mom happy. He says, "OK, mom, I will do that. But can I print one more picture of a motorcycle? The red one with the big wheels?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "OK, Sam, you can print one more picture of a motorcycle. But only one. And then you have to clean your room."
+
+Sam says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." He prints his last picture of a motorcycle and puts it on his wall. Then he cleans his room and gives some of his pictures to his friends. He is proud of his wall and his mom is proud of him.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the snow. One day, they see something big and brown in the woods. It has horns and a red nose. It is a reindeer!
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can we go and say hello?" Ben asks. "Maybe it is friendly."
+
+They walk slowly towards the reindeer. The reindeer sees them and wags its tail. It makes a soft sound.
+
+"Hello, reindeer," Lily says. "What is your name?"
+
+The reindeer sniffs Lily's hand and licks it. Lily giggles.
+
+"My name is Rudy," the reindeer says. "I am a clever reindeer. I can talk and fly."
+
+Lily and Ben are amazed. They have never met a talking reindeer before.
+
+"You can fly?" Ben asks. "How do you do that?"
+
+Rudy smiles and shows them his magic collar. It has bells and stars on it.
+
+"This is my magic collar," Rudy says. "It helps me fly with Santa and his sleigh. I am his special reindeer. I lead the way with my red nose."
+
+Lily and Ben are very excited. They love Santa and his sleigh.
+
+"Can we fly with you?" Lily asks. "Please, please, please!"
+
+Rudy thinks for a moment. He likes Lily and Ben. They are nice and polite.
+
+"OK, but only for a little while," Rudy says. "You have to hold on tight and be quiet. We don't want to wake up anyone."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and hug Rudy. Rudy puts them on his back and flies into the sky. They see the moon and the stars and the snow. They feel the wind and the cold. They are very happy.
+
+They fly with Rudy for a little while and then he brings them back to their house. He says goodbye and thank you to them. He tells them to go to bed and wait for Santa.
+
+Lily and Ben thank Rudy and give him a kiss. They run inside and put on their pajamas. They go to bed and dream of flying with Rudy again. They are very lucky. Rudy is a clever reindeer.
+Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big hill with grass and flowers. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side.
+
+"Come on, Lila, let's go!" Tom says. He runs up the hill. Lila follows him. She is not as fast as Tom. She tries to catch up with him.
+
+But the hill is steep and slippery. Lila loses her balance and falls. She hurts her knee and starts to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she says. "My knee is red and sore!"
+
+Tom hears her cry and runs back to her. He kneels next to her and looks at her knee.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lila, are you okay?" he says. He is polite and kind. He does not laugh at her or make fun of her.
+
+He takes a tissue from his pocket and wipes her knee gently. He gives her a hug and says, "Don't cry, Lila, it will be better soon. I will help you get up and we can go back to the slide. Do you want to do that?"
+
+Lila nods and smiles. She is happy that Tom is her friend. He helps her get up and holds her hand. They walk back to the slide and play some more. They have fun and forget about the fall. They are good friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Anna has a green toy frog. Ben has a red toy car. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their moms. They bring their toys with them. They play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They are very happy.
+
+But then, it is time to go home. Anna and Ben say goodbye to each other. They hug and smile. They run to their moms.
+
+Anna's mom says, "Do you have your toy frog, Anna?"
+
+Anna looks in her backpack. She does not see her toy frog. She feels sad. She says, "No, mom. I forget my toy frog. Where is it?"
+
+Ben's mom says, "Do you have your toy car, Ben?"
+
+Ben looks in his backpack. He does not see his toy car. He feels sad. He says, "No, mom. I forget my toy car. Where is it?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They remember. They left their toys in the sandbox. They say, "Oh no! Our toys!"
+
+They run back to the sandbox. But they do not see their toys. They see a big boy. He has their toys. He is playing with them. He does not want to give them back.
+
+Anna and Ben are angry. They say, "Hey! Those are our toys! Give them back!"
+
+The big boy says, "No! They are mine now! I found them. They are mine!"
+
+Anna and Ben do not know what to do. They feel scared. They want their toys. They cry.
+
+Their moms hear them. They come to the sandbox. They see the big boy. They see their toys. They are not happy.
+
+Anna's mom says, "Excuse me, young man. Those are not your toys. They belong to Anna and Ben. They forgot them here. Please give them back."
+
+Ben's mom says, "Yes, please. That is not nice. You should not take other people's toys. How would you feel if someone took your toys?"
+
+The big boy looks at the moms. He feels ashamed. He knows he did wrong. He says, "I'm sorry. I was bored. I wanted to play. Here are your toys."
+
+He gives the green toy frog to Anna and the red toy car to Ben. Anna and Ben are happy. They say, "Thank you. We are sorry we forget our toys."
+
+They hug their toys. They hug their moms. They hug each other. They are friends again.
+
+The big boy says, "I'm sorry. Can I be your friend too? Can I play with you?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at him. They think. They say, "OK. You can be our friend. You can play with us. But you have to share. And you have to be nice."
+
+The big boy smiles. He says, "OK. I will share. And I will be nice."
+
+They all play together. They have fun. They do not forget their toys. They are happy. The end.
+Lily loved peaches. They were sweet and juicy and made her smile. She liked to pick them from the tree in her garden with her mom and dad. They would fill a big basket with peaches and take them inside to eat.
+
+One day, Lily saw a peach that was bigger and redder than the others. She wanted to reach it, but it was too high. She asked her mom and dad to help her, but they were busy with the other peaches. Lily felt worried. She wanted the big peach very much.
+
+She had an idea. She saw a stool in the corner of the garden. She dragged it to the tree and climbed on it. She stretched her arms and tried to grab the big peach. She was almost there, when the stool wobbled and tipped over. Lily fell to the ground with a thud.
+
+She started to cry. She hurt her knee and her elbow. She also dropped the big peach. It rolled away and got squashed by a rock. Lily felt very sad.
+
+Her mom and dad heard her cry and ran to her. They hugged her and kissed her and checked her for boo-boos. They told her they were sorry they didn't help her. They said they loved her and they were proud of her for trying.
+
+They also gave her a new peach. It was not as big or as red as the other one, but it was still sweet and juicy. Lily took a bite and smiled. She felt better. She shared the peach with her mom and dad. They smiled too. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had a lot of fun toys, but their favorite was a box of matches. They liked to strike the matches and watch the flames. They knew it was dangerous, but they did not care.
+
+One day, they found a big pile of leaves in the park. They thought it would be fun to set it on fire. They took out their matches and started to light them. They threw the matches into the leaves and watched the flames grow bigger and bigger.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "It's so bright and warm!"
+
+"Yeah, it's amazing!" Lily said. "Let's make it even bigger!"
+
+They ran to get more matches and leaves. They did not see the smoke rising in the air. They did not hear the sirens coming closer. They did not notice the people shouting and running away.
+
+Suddenly, a fireman came and grabbed them. He was angry and scared. He took them away from the fire and put them in his truck. He told them they were very naughty and could have hurt themselves and others. He said he would take them to their parents and they would be in big trouble.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and sorry. They realized they had done a bad thing. They hugged each other and cried. They promised to never play with matches again. They said they were sorry to the fireman and thanked him for saving them. They said they were loyal friends and would always stick together. They hoped their parents would forgive them. They learned a hard lesson that day.

+
+One day, Sam is very hungry. He sees Mia has a big cookie. He wants some of it. He asks Mia, "Can I have some of your cookie, please?" Mia says, "No, this is my cookie. You have your own snack." Sam feels sad and angry. He thinks Mia is not nice.
+
+He decides to take Mia's cookie. He waits until Mia is busy with her dolls. He sneaks up and grabs the cookie. He runs away with it. Mia sees him and shouts, "Hey, that's my cookie! Give it back!" She chases him around the network of blocks and cars and dolls. They knock over some of them. They make a big mess.
+
+Sam tries to eat the cookie, but it is too big. He drops some of it on the floor. Mia catches up with him and grabs the cookie. She pulls it away from him. They both fall down. They both cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the network of blocks and cars and dolls. She sees the cookie and the crumbs. She sees Sam and Mia. She says, "What happened here? Why are you fighting?" Sam and Mia tell her what they did. Mom says, "That was not nice of you, Sam. You should not take Mia's cookie. That was not nice of you, Mia. You should share your cookie with Sam. You are both hungry. You are both friends. You should be kind to each other."
+
+She breaks the cookie in half and gives one piece to Sam and one piece to Mia. She says, "Now, say sorry to each other and hug. Then, help me clean up this mess. Then, we can have some milk and more snacks." Sam and Mia say sorry and hug. They help Mom clean up the network of blocks and cars and dolls. They have some milk and more snacks. They feel better.

+Lily liked to teach her toys how to do things. She had a big bowl of water and some cups. She wanted to teach her toys how to drink water.
+
+She put her teddy bear next to the bowl and gave him a cup. She said, "Teddy, this is water. Water is good for you. You drink water like this." She showed him how to fill the cup and sip the water. Then she said, "Now you try, Teddy."
+
+But Teddy did not move. He did not drink the water. Lily was confused. She said, "Teddy, why don't you drink the water? Don't you like water?" She pushed the cup closer to him. But Teddy still did not move.
+
+Lily thought maybe Teddy was shy. She said, "It's okay, Teddy. I will help you. Here, I will hold the cup for you. You just open your mouth and drink." She lifted the cup to Teddy's mouth and tilted it. But Teddy did not open his mouth. He did not drink the water. The water spilled on his fur and made him wet.
+
+Lily was sad. She said, "Teddy, why don't you drink the water? Don't you want to learn? Don't you want to be like me?" She hugged him and wiped his fur. But Teddy did not hug her back. He did not say anything.
+
+Lily did not understand. She did not know that Teddy was not alive. He was just a toy. He could not drink water. He could not learn. He could not be like her. He was just a teddy bear.
+Tom likes to walk and play with his guitar. He sings songs and makes noises with his guitar. He walks to the park, to the store, to his friend's house. He is happy and he makes other people happy.
+
+One day, he walks to a new place. He sees a big gray building. He thinks it is a castle. He wants to see inside. He walks to the door and opens it. He sees many people in white clothes. They look at him and they are angry.
+
+They say, "Who are you? What are you doing here? This is not a castle. This is a hospital. You are making too much noise. You are disturbing the patients. Give us your guitar. You are not allowed to have it here."
+
+They take his guitar and they break it. They throw it in the trash. They tell him to go away and never come back. Tom is sad and scared. He runs away and he cries. He has no guitar and no songs. He does not want to walk and play anymore. He has a bad day. The end.
+Lily and Sam were at the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But they did not like the big dog that sometimes came to the park. The dog was loud and scary. It barked and ran after them.
+
+One day, the dog came again. Lily and Sam ran to their mom and hid behind her. The dog followed them and tried to sniff them. Lily and Sam trembled. They were very afraid.
+
+"Go away, dog!" their mom said. "You are not nice. You are scaring my children."
+
+But the dog did not listen. It wagged its tail and jumped around. It wanted to play.
+
+Then, a man came. He was the dog's owner. He called the dog and put a leash on it.
+
+"I'm sorry, ma'am," he said. "My dog is friendly. He just wants to say hello. He likes kids."
+
+Lily and Sam peeked from behind their mom. They saw that the dog had a beautiful collar. It was shiny and had many colors. The dog looked at them with big eyes.
+
+"Can we pet him?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, if you want to," the man said. "His name is Spot. He is very gentle."
+
+Lily and Sam came out from behind their mom. They walked slowly to the dog. The dog licked their hands and wagged his tail. Lily and Sam smiled. They petted the dog and scratched his ears.
+
+They were not afraid anymore. They liked the dog. They sat on a bench with the man and the dog. They talked and laughed. They had a new friend.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they want the same toy. Then they fight.
+
+One day, they see a big red car in the toy box. They both want the car. They run to the toy box. They grab the car. They pull and pull.
+
+"Let go! It's mine!" Lily says.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben says.
+
+They pull harder. The car makes a loud noise. It breaks in two.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+They look at the broken car. They feel sad. They wish they did not fight.
+
+They look at each other. They say sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Ben says.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Lily says.
+
+They hug. They share the broken car. They play together.
+
+They learn to resist their will to fight. They learn to be fast to say sorry. They learn to be kind.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her doll. She named her doll Anna and gave her a pink dress and a hat. Lily and Anna did everything together. They had tea parties, read books, and sang songs.
+
+One day, Lily and Anna went to the park with Lily's mom. They saw a lady with a big dog. The dog was brown and furry and had a long tail. Lily wanted to pet the dog, but she was afraid. She asked her mom, "Can I touch the dog, mom?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, but you have to ask the lady first. And be gentle and calm. The dog might be shy or scared of you."
+
+Lily nodded and walked slowly to the lady. She said, "Hello, lady. What is your dog's name?"
+
+The lady smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. My dog's name is Max. He is very friendly and likes to play. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please. He is very cute."
+
+The lady said, "Okay, but first you have to let him sniff you. That's how he says hello. Hold out your hand and let him smell you."
+
+Lily did as the lady said and held out her hand. Max sniffed her hand and licked it. Lily giggled and said, "He tickles me!"
+
+The lady said, "Now you can pet him. He likes to be scratched behind his ears and on his belly."
+
+Lily stroked Max's fur and scratched his ears. Max wagged his tail and rolled over. Lily rubbed his belly and said, "He is very soft and warm."
+
+Max was happy and jumped up. He shook his body and made his fur fly. Lily laughed and said, "He shakes like a wet duck!"
+
+The lady said, "Yes, he does. He likes to shake off the dust and the bugs. He also likes to shake when he is excited or happy."
+
+Lily said, "I like to shake too. Sometimes I shake when I am cold or when I dance."
+
+The lady said, "That's nice. Do you want to dance with Max?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, that sounds fun!"
+
+The lady said, "Okay, let's dance. I have a song on my phone. Do you like music?"
+
+Lily said, "I love music. Music makes me happy."
+
+The lady played a song on her phone. It was a happy song with a fast beat. Lily and Max danced together. They shook their bodies and their heads. They spun around and jumped up and down. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Lily's mom watched them and smiled. She said, "Look at them. They are having a blast. They are so cute and silly."
+
+Lily and Max heard her and ran to her. They gave her a hug and a lick. Lily said, "Mom, this is Max. He is my new friend. He likes to shake and dance with me."
+
+Lily's mom said, "Hello, Max. You are a very nice dog. And this is Anna. She is Lily's doll. She likes to shake and dance too."
+
+The lady said, "Hello, Anna. You are a very pretty doll. And this is Lily. She is a very sweet girl. She likes to play with Max."
+
+Lily said, "Hello, lady. What is your name?"
+
+The lady said, "My name is Sue. I am happy to meet you."
+
+Lily said, "I am happy to meet you too, Sue. Can we play with you and Max again?"
+
+Sue said, "Of course. We come to the park every day. We can be friends."
+
+Lily said, "Yay! I like friends. Friends are the best."
+
+Lily, Anna, Max, and Sue smiled and hugged. They were happy and glad. They had a wonderful day.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big ball in the park. They both want the ball.
+
+"Give me the ball!" Tom says. He grabs the ball from Sue.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sue says. She grabs the ball back from Tom.
+
+They pull and tug on the ball. They are not happy. They are angry.
+
+A dog sees the ball. The dog likes balls. The dog runs to Tom and Sue. The dog is tough. The dog bites the ball. The ball pops. The air goes out.
+
+Tom and Sue are sad. They have no ball. They look at the dog. The dog wags its tail. The dog wants to play.
+
+"Sorry, Sue," Tom says. "I was mean. You can have the ball."
+
+"Sorry, Tom," Sue says. "I was mean too. We can share the ball."
+
+But the ball is broken. They cannot play with it. They learn a lesson. They should not fight. They should be nice. They should share.
+
+They find another toy. They play with the toy together. They are happy. They are friends. The dog is happy too. The dog joins them. They have fun.
+Ben was sleepy. He had played a lot with his toys and his friends. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. His mom said, "Ben, it's time to go to the barber. You need a haircut."
+
+Ben did not want to go to the barber. He did not like the scissors and the noise. He said, "No, mom, I want to stay home. I want to nap."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ben. The barber is nice and gentle. He will make you look handsome and neat. And you can relax on the big chair. Maybe you can even sleep there."
+
+Ben was not sure, but he trusted his mom. He put on his shoes and coat and followed her to the car. They drove to the barber shop. Ben saw the sign with the red and white stripes. He felt nervous.
+
+His mom held his hand and led him inside. The barber greeted them with a friendly voice. He said, "Hello, Ben. I'm Sam. I'm going to give you a haircut today. Come and sit on this big chair. It's very comfy."
+
+Ben climbed on the chair and saw himself in the mirror. The barber put a cape around him and combed his hair. He said, "You have nice hair, Ben. How do you want it cut?"
+
+Ben shrugged and said, "I don't know. You choose."
+
+The barber nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make it short and tidy. You'll look great. Just relax and close your eyes. I'll be very careful."
+
+Ben did as the barber said. He relaxed and closed his eyes. He felt the scissors snip his hair. He heard the barber hum a soft tune. He smelled the shampoo and the aftershave. He felt sleepy.
+
+Soon, the barber was done. He said, "All right, Ben. You're finished. Open your eyes and see how you look."
+
+Ben opened his eyes and saw his new haircut. He looked handsome and neat. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Sam. I like it."
+
+The barber smiled back and said, "You're welcome, Ben. You were a good boy. You can have a sticker and a lollipop."
+
+Ben was happy. He took the sticker and the lollipop and thanked the barber again. He hugged his mom and said, "Let's go home, mom. I'm sleepy."
+
+His mom said, "Okay, Ben. Let's go home. You can nap in the car. You did a great job today."
+
+Ben nodded and said, "I did. And I relaxed at the barber."
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One evening, they were playing with their blocks and cars in their room. Tim had a big red car that he loved very much. Sam wanted to play with it too, but Tim did not want to share.
+
+"Please, Tim, can I have a turn with your car?" Sam asked.
+
+"No, Sam, this is my car. You have your own car. Go away!" Tim said.
+
+Sam felt sad and angry. He thought Tim was not fair. He looked around and saw Tim's favorite block tower. He had an idea. He sneaked over to the tower and pushed it hard. The blocks fell down and made a loud noise.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Tim shouted. He saw his tower was broken. He was very mad. He ran to Sam and grabbed his car. He tried to pull it away from him.
+
+"Give me back my car!" Sam yelled. He held on to his car. They both pulled and pulled. Then, they heard a snap. The car broke in half. They both gasped.
+
+They looked at each other and then at the car. They felt sorry and silly. They had broken their toys because they did not share. They wished they had been nicer to each other.
+
+They hugged and said sorry. They decided to share their toys and play together. They picked up the blocks and the car pieces and put them in a box. They hoped their mom could fix them. They learned a lesson that evening. Sharing is fair and fun.
+Anna was eager to go to the park with her mom. She liked to play on the swings and slide and see the ducks. She also liked to make new friends.
+
+At the park, she saw a girl with curly hair and a blue dress. She looked nice and fun. Anna ran to her and said, "Hi, I'm Anna. What's your name?"
+
+The girl smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Olive. I like your pink hat."
+
+Anna liked her name and her dress. She said, "Thank you. Do you want to play with me?"

+Olive nodded and said, "Yes, please. What do you want to play?"
+

+Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They saw a big vase on the table. It was blue and shiny and had flowers in it.
+
+"Let's look at the vase," Anna said. "It is so pretty."
+
+"Okay," Ben said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy said not to touch it."
+
+They went to the table and looked at the vase. They smelled the flowers and touched the leaves. They liked the vase.
+
+"Can I hold it?" Anna asked. "Just for a little bit."
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "It is heavy and breakable. Mommy will be mad if we drop it."
+
+"Please," Anna said. "I will be gentle. I just want to see it better."
+
+Ben was not sure, but he wanted to make Anna happy. He helped her lift the vase from the table. It was heavier than they thought. They held it with both hands.
+
+"Wow," Anna said. "It is so smooth and cool. And look at the patterns on it."
+
+They looked at the vase and admired it. They did not hear Mommy coming into the room.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" Mommy shouted. "Put that vase down right now!"
+
+Anna and Ben were scared. They tried to put the vase back on the table, but they lost their balance. The vase slipped from their hands and fell to the floor. It broke into many pieces. The water and the flowers spilled everywhere.
+
+Mommy was very angry. She ran to the vase and looked at the mess. She turned to Anna and Ben and said, "How could you be so ignorant? You know you are not supposed to touch the vase. It was very special and expensive. You could have hurt yourselves or the vase. You are in big trouble, young ones."
+
+Anna and Ben felt very bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They did not mean to break the vase. They just wanted to see it. They looked at Mommy and said, "We are sorry, Mommy. We did not know it was so special and expensive. We just liked it. We tried to manage it, but we could not. Please don't be mad at us."
+
+Mommy sighed. She was still angry, but she also loved Anna and Ben. She knew they were curious and did not understand. She said, "I am mad at you, but I also forgive you. You have to learn to listen and obey. And you have to be more careful with things that are not yours. The vase can't be fixed, but you can help me clean up the mess. And you can give me a hug and say you love me."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They hugged Mommy and said they loved her. They helped her clean up the mess. They learned their lesson. They never touched the vase again.
+Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their friends. But one day, they see a witch in the park. She is dirty and mean. She has a big hat and a long nose and a black cat.
+
+The witch sees Lily and Ben and wants to catch them. She runs after them with her cat. Lily and Ben are scared. They run away from the witch. They look for a place to hide. They see a big tent. They run inside the tent. They zip the door.
+
+The witch comes to the tent. She tries to open the door. But she can't. The zip is too hard. She pulls and pulls. She gets angry. She yells and kicks. But the door does not open. Lily and Ben are safe inside the tent. They hug each other. They wait for the witch to go away.
+
+After a while, they hear a voice. It is their mom. She is looking for them. She sees the tent. She sees the witch. She is not scared. She has a broom. She hits the witch with the broom. The witch cries and runs away. Her cat runs away too.

They have a good day.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their car. It was big and red and had four wheels. They pushed it around the yard and made loud noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!
+
+One day, they saw a big puddle of mud. They thought it would be fun to drive their car through it. They ran to the puddle and pushed their car in. Splash, splash, splat, splat!
+
+But the mud was sticky and deep. Their car got stuck in the mud. They tried to pull it out, but it was too heavy. They got very messy and wet. Their clothes and shoes and hair were all brown and dirty.

+
+Tom and Lily felt very sad and sorry. They loved their car, but now it was broken and muddy. They had to leave it in the puddle. They followed Mom inside, crying and sniffling. They did not have fun anymore. The end.

+
+She held her mom's hand as they walked to the school. She saw many kids running and laughing. She saw a big slide and a swing. She saw a teacher with a smile. But she did not feel happy. She felt alone.
+
+"Hello, Mia. I'm Miss Lee. I'm your teacher. Welcome to our class." The teacher said. She bent down to Mia's level and gave her a sticker. It had a star on it. "You are a star, Mia. You are brave and smart. Do you want to meet your new friends?"
+
+Mia looked at the teacher. She looked at the sticker. She looked at the other kids. She shook her head. She hid behind her mom. She did not want to meet anyone.

+
+Mia looked at the kids. They looked nice. They looked fun. They looked like her. But she still felt shy. She clung to her mom. She did not want to say hi.
+
+"Mia, honey, I have to go now. But I'll be back soon. I promise. You will have a good time here. You will make new friends. You will learn new things. You will have fun. I love you, Mia."

+
+"Look, Max, a flag!" Lily said. "Can we go and see it?"
+
+Max was scared. He did not like the flag. He thought it was too high and too loud. He heard the wind make the flag flap.
+
+"No, Lily, the flag is scary!" Max said. "It might fall on us or make a noise. Let's play with the ball instead."

+She took Max by the hand and walked to the flag. She encouraged Max to touch the flag. She smiled and said, "See, Max, the flag is not scary. It is friendly. It likes us. Do you like the flag?"
+
+Max touched the flag. He felt the fabric and the wind. He heard the sound. He saw the colors and the shapes. He was not scared anymore. He liked the flag. He smiled and said, "Yes, Lily, I like the flag. It is cute. Thank you for showing me. You are a good friend."
+
+Lily and Max hugged. They played with the flag. They had fun. They were happy.
+Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy boats. They had many boats of different colors and sizes. They pretended that the bathtub was a big sea and that the sink was a port. They made waves with their hands and raced their boats to the port.
+
+"Look, my red boat is the fastest!" Ben said. "It will win the race and get to the port first!"
+
+"No, my yellow boat is faster!" Mia said. "It will catch up and win the race!"
+
+They cheered and splashed as their boats moved across the water. But they did not see that the plug was loose and the water was going down the drain.
+
+Suddenly, Ben's red boat and Mia's yellow boat disappeared into the drain. They were gone!
+
+"Oh no, our boats!" Ben and Mia cried. "Where did they go?"
+
+They looked at the drain and saw nothing but bubbles. They were sad and angry.
+
+"Who took our boats?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know," Mia said. "Maybe a big fish or a shark or a pirate!"
+
+They were scared and hugged each other. They wished they had their boats back.
+
+Then they saw something shiny and colorful in the sink. It was their other boats, the ones they did not use for the race. They had many boats of different colors and sizes. They were still there, waiting for them.
+
+"Look, our boats!" Ben and Mia said. "They are still here!"
+
+They smiled and ran to the sink. They picked up their boats and hugged them.
+
+"Let's play with these boats," Ben said. "They are nice and colorful and they did not go away."
+
+"Yes, let's play with these boats," Mia said. "They are our friends and they will not leave us."
+
+They filled the sink with water and put their boats in it. They pretended that the sink was a port and that the bathtub was a big sea. They made waves with their hands and raced their boats to the port.
+
+They did not care who would win the race. They were happy and had fun. They loved their boats.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a fly buzzing around a flower. Ben wanted to catch the fly. He ran after it and tried to slap it with his hand.
+
+"Got you, fly!" he shouted. But he missed. The fly flew away.
+
+Lily watched Ben. She thought he was silly. She said, "Ben, you can't catch a fly. It is too fast and small. It is difficult to slap a fly."
+
+Ben did not listen. He wanted to catch the fly. He ran after it again and tried to slap it with his hand.
+
+"Got you, fly!" he shouted. But he missed again. The fly flew away.
+
+Lily shook her head. She said, "Ben, you are wasting your time. Why don't you play something else? We can play ball or tag or hide and seek."
+
+Ben did not answer. He saw the fly landing on a leaf. He crept closer and closer. He raised his hand and tried to slap it with his hand.
+
+"Got you, fly!" he shouted. But he did not slap the fly. He slapped the leaf. The leaf was prickly and hurt his hand.
+
+"Ow!" he cried. He dropped his hand and rubbed it. He felt a tear in his eye.
+
+Lily ran to him. She saw his hand was red and sore. She said, "Ben, are you okay? I'm sorry you hurt your hand. Here, let me see."
+
+She took his hand and blew on it. She said, "It will be better soon. Don't worry. The fly is gone. It won't bother you anymore."
+
+Ben looked at Lily. He felt better. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I was silly. I don't want to catch a fly anymore. I want to play with you."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "That's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are okay. Come on, let's play something else. What do you want to play?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He said, "How about ball? I like ball."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Me too. I have a ball. Let's go get it."
+
+They ran to the house and got the ball. They played ball in the garden. They had fun. They forgot about the fly. They were happy.
+Dan and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the woods. They find a big tree. They want to make a fort.
+
+"Look, an axe!" Dan says. He sees a filthy axe on the ground. It is rusty and dirty. He picks it up.
+
+"Give me the axe!" Sam says. He wants to chop the tree. He tries to grab the axe from Dan.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Dan says. He holds the axe tight. He does not want to share.
+
+They start to fight. They pull and push. They yell and cry.
+
+"Stop!" a voice says. It is Mom. She comes to the woods. She sees the boys and the axe.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asks. She is angry and scared. She takes the axe from Dan. She throws it away.
+
+"That is a bad axe!" Mom says. "It is filthy and dangerous. You could hurt yourself or each other. You should not play with it."
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Dan and Sam say. They feel sorry and ashamed. They hug Mom.
+
+"Let's go home," Mom says. "We can find something else to play with. Something clean and safe."
+
+Dan and Sam nod. They follow Mom. They leave the woods and the axe. They learn a lesson.
+Ben and Jen were twins who liked to ride their bikes. They had red bikes with big wheels and bells. They rode their bikes every day after school, around the park and the pond. They had fun and were happy.
+
+One day, the sky was dark and the wind was strong. Mom said, "Ben and Jen, come inside. There is a big storm coming. It might have a tornado." Ben and Jen did not know what a tornado was, but they did not want to be in a storm. They put their bikes in the garage and ran inside.
+
+They looked out the window and saw the storm. It was loud and scary. They saw a big, black thing spinning in the air. It was a tornado. It was coming closer and closer to their house. Ben and Jen were afraid. They hugged Mom and each other.
+
+Mom said, "Don't worry, my loves. We are safe in the basement. The tornado can't hurt us here. We have food and water and blankets and toys. We have each other. We are dependable. We will stay together until the storm is over."
+
+Ben and Jen felt better. They trusted Mom. They knew she was dependable. They played with their toys and sang songs. They waited for the storm to pass. They hoped their bikes were okay. They wanted to ride them again when the sun came out.
+Tommy loved his toy dinosaur. He played with it every day. He made it roar and stomp and bite. He pretended it was a real dinosaur that could destroy anything.
+
+One day, Tommy took his toy dinosaur to the park. He saw some other kids playing with their toys. He wanted to show them his dinosaur. He ran over to them and said, "Look at my dinosaur! It can destroy your toys!"
+
+The other kids did not like that. They said, "No, it can't! Your dinosaur is silly and small. Our toys are better and bigger. Go away!"
+
+Tommy felt angry and sad. He did not want to go away. He wanted to prove them wrong. He threw his dinosaur at their toys. He hoped it would destroy them.
+
+But his dinosaur did not destroy them. It bounced off them and landed on the ground. It broke into pieces. Tommy saw its head and tail and legs scattered on the grass. He felt a big pain in his chest. He started to cry.
+
+The other kids laughed at him. They said, "Ha ha! Your dinosaur is destroyed! You are a bad boy! You are embarrassed!"
+
+Tommy felt more angry and sad. He wanted his dinosaur back. He wanted to go home. He picked up the pieces and ran away.
+
+He ran all the way to his house. He saw his mom waiting for him. She saw his tears and his broken toy. She said, "Oh, Tommy, what happened? Are you okay?"
+
+Tommy hugged his mom and told her everything. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was bad. I tried to destroy their toys. But I destroyed my dinosaur. I love my dinosaur. Can you fix it?"
+
+His mom smiled and kissed him. She said, "It's okay, Tommy. I'm not mad at you. I know you love your dinosaur. But you shouldn't try to destroy other people's toys. That's not nice. You should say sorry to them."
+
+Tommy nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I will say sorry to them. But can you fix my dinosaur?"
+
+His mom said, "I will try, Tommy. But I'm not a veterinarian. I'm not good at fixing animals. Maybe we can find someone who is. Maybe we can find a new dinosaur for you. Would you like that?"
+
+Tommy smiled. He said, "Yes, mom. I would like that. Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever."
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "You are welcome, Tommy. You are the best son ever."
+Mia and Leo were very happy. They were going on a holiday with their mum and dad. They packed their bags with toys and clothes. They got in the car and drove to the big boat. The big boat would take them to the island.
+
+On the boat, Mia and Leo saw many things. They saw fish and birds and waves. They saw other people and children. They saw a lady who was dancing. She was very graceful. She moved like a swan. Mia and Leo wanted to dance too. They asked their mum and dad if they could join the lady.
+
+Mum and dad said yes, but they had to be careful and polite. They had to wait for their turn and not push or shout. Mia and Leo nodded. They went to the lady and said hello. The lady smiled and said hello back. She asked them if they wanted to learn some steps. Mia and Leo said yes, please.
+
+The lady taught them how to twirl and bend and hop. Mia and Leo had fun. They followed the lady and copied her moves. They felt like they were flying. They thanked the lady for teaching them. The lady said they were very good and gave them a hug.
+
+But then, a boy came. He was rude and mean. He wanted to dance too, but he did not ask. He pushed Mia and Leo aside. He stepped on their feet. He laughed at them. He said they were silly and clumsy. Mia and Leo were sad and angry. They told the boy to stop and go away. The boy did not listen. He slapped Mia on the face. Mia cried. Leo was very mad. He slapped the boy back. The boy cried too.
+
+The lady saw what happened. She was not happy. She scolded the boy and told him to say sorry. She comforted Mia and Leo and told them they did nothing wrong. She said they were brave and kind.

+Lila and Tom were playing on the farm. They liked to run and jump and make noise. They saw a big pile of hay near the barn. They wanted to climb on it and have fun.
+
+"Let's go to the hay!" Lila said. "We can make a fort and hide from the cows."
+
+"OK!" Tom said. "But be careful. The hay is prickly and it can make you sneeze."
+
+They ran to the hay and started to pile it up. They made a wall and a roof and a door. They crawled inside and giggled.
+
+"This is our secret fort!" Lila said. "No one can find us here."
+
+They played with some toys they brought with them. They had a doll and a truck and a ball. They pretended they were on an adventure.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud moo. They looked outside and saw a big cow. The cow was hungry and wanted to eat the hay. It came closer and closer to their fort.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom said. "The cow is going to eat our fort! What can we do?"
+
+Lila had an idea. She grabbed the ball and squeezed it hard. The ball made a loud squeak. The cow heard the squeak and got scared. It turned around and ran away.
+
+"Yay!" Lila said. "We scared the cow away! We saved our fort!"
+
+They hugged each other and laughed. They were happy and proud. They looked at the sky and saw the sun. It was pale and low. It was time to go home.
+
+"Let's go back to Mom and Dad," Tom said. "They will be worried about us."
+
+"OK," Lila said. "But can we come back to the hay tomorrow?"
+
+"Sure," Tom said. "The hay is our favorite place to play."
+
+They packed their toys and left the fort. They ran to their parents and told them about their adventure. Their parents smiled and hugged them. They were glad they had fun. They went home and had dinner and went to bed. They dreamed of the hay and the cow and the ball. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They saw some big clouds in the sky. They were dark and scary.
+
+"Look, Tom, the sky is angry!" Lily said. She was worried. She did not like storms.
+
+Tom nodded. He was worried too. He did not like loud noises. He wanted to go home.
+
+"Let's go, Lily, let's go!" Tom said. He took Lily's hand and ran to the gate.
+
+But the gate was locked. They could not get out. They saw a man with a big hat and a big key. He was walking away.
+
+"Hey, hey, please, help us!" Tom shouted. He waved his arms.
+
+The man heard Tom. He turned around and saw the children. He smiled and walked back.
+
+"Hello, little ones, what's wrong?" he asked.
+
+"The sky is angry, we want to go home!" Lily said. She pointed at the clouds.
+
+The man looked at the sky. He nodded. He understood.
+
+"Don't worry, the sky is not angry, it's just raining. Rain is good, it makes the flowers grow. But I know, you don't like to get wet. Here, I'll open the gate for you. Where is your home?" he asked.
+
+Tom and Lily told him where they lived. He nodded. He opened the gate and let them out.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, you are very kind!" Tom and Lily said. They hugged the man.
+
+"You're welcome, you're welcome, you are very brave!" the man said. He hugged them back.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to their home. They saw their mom waiting for them. She was worried. She hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"Where were you, my darlings? I was so worried!" she said.
+
+"We were in the park, mom, but the sky was angry, and the gate was locked, and we could not get out, but a nice man helped us, and he opened the gate, and we came home!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+They told their mom everything. She nodded. She was glad they were safe.
+
+She looked at the sky. She saw a rainbow. She smiled.
+
+"Look, my darlings, the sky is not angry anymore, it's happy. It's giving us a rainbow. A rainbow is a sign of hope and love. Do you see it?" she asked.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the sky. They saw the rainbow. They smiled.
+
+"Yes, mom, we see it. It's beautiful. We love you, mom. We love the sky. We love the rain. We love the rainbow. We love the nice man. We love everything!" they said.
+
+They hugged their mom. They were happy.
+Lily liked to taste new things. She saw a big red flower in the garden. It looked pretty and smelled good. She wanted to taste it. She picked the flower and put it in her mouth.
+
+But the flower did not taste good. It tasted bad and bitter. It made her tongue hurt. She felt pain in her mouth. She spit out the flower and cried.
+
+Mommy heard her cry and came to see. She saw the flower and knew what happened. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't taste flowers, honey. They are not food. They can make you sick and hurt you. Only taste things that mommy or daddy give you, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mommy. I'm sorry. I won't taste flowers again." Mommy gave her some water and a cookie. The water washed away the bad taste and the cookie tasted sweet and yummy. Lily felt better and smiled. She learned a lesson. She only tasted food from now on.
+Tommy loves baseball. He has a baseball and a bat. He likes to hit the ball and run. He wants to play with his friends.
+
+He goes to the park. He sees his friends. They have a baseball and a bat too. They are playing on the grass. Tommy is happy. He runs to them.
+
+"Can I play with you?" he asks.
+
+His friends look at him. They shake their heads.
+
+"No, you can't," says Billy. "You are too small. You can't hit the ball. You can't run fast. You can't play with us."
+
+Tommy is sad. He feels angry. He wants to play. He thinks Billy is mean.
+
+He sees another baseball and bat. They are on a bench. They belong to a big boy. The big boy is not there. He is in the bathroom.
+
+Tommy has an idea. He takes the baseball and the bat. He runs to the grass. He enters the game.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" says Billy. "That's not your baseball and bat. That's Jake's. He will be mad at you."
+
+"I don't care," says Tommy. "I want to play. I can hit the ball. I can run fast. I can play with you."
+
+He throws the ball in the air. He swings the bat. He hits the ball. The ball flies far. Tommy is proud. He thinks he is brilliant.
+
+He runs to the first base. He sees Jake. Jake is back from the bathroom. Jake sees his baseball and bat. Jake is mad.
+
+"Hey, that's my baseball and bat!" he yells. "Give them back to me!"
+
+He runs to Tommy. He tries to grab the baseball and bat. Tommy holds them tight. He does not want to give them back.
+
+They fight. They push and pull. They yell and cry. Their friends watch. They don't know what to do.
+
+A grown-up sees them. He comes to them. He stops them.
+
+"What's going on here?" he asks. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+They tell him. He listens. He shakes his head.
+
+"That's not nice," he says. "You can't take someone else's things. You can't be mean to someone who wants to play. You have to share and be kind. Do you understand?"
+
+They nod. They feel sorry. They say sorry.
+
+The grown-up gives the baseball and bat back to Jake. He tells Tommy to find his own baseball and bat. He tells them to play nicely. He leaves.
+
+They look at each other. They smile. They decide to play together. They have fun. They are friends.
+Anna was bored. She had played with all her toys and read all her books. She wanted to do something new. She looked around her room and saw a big box. She had never opened it before. She wondered what was inside.
+
+She walked to the box and lifted the lid. She saw many things that she did not know. She saw a hat, a scarf, a ball, a doll, and a book. She also saw something shiny and colorful. It was a lollipop. She had never had a lollipop before. She picked it up and looked at it. It was round and red and had a stick. She smelled it. It smelled sweet.
+
+She decided to try it. She put it in her mouth and licked it. It tasted good. It was mild, not sour or spicy. She liked it. She smiled and said, "Yummy!" She discovered a new thing that she liked. She was happy. She wanted to show her mom and dad. She took the lollipop and ran to find them. She said, "Look, look, I found a lollipop!" They smiled and hugged her. They were proud of her. They said, "Good job, Anna! You are a good explorer!" Anna felt good. She had a fun day.
+Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a pretty skirt with flowers and put it on. She felt like a princess. She wanted to show her mom how nice she looked.
+
+She ran to the living room, where her mom was reading a book. She said, "Mom, look at me! I have a skirt like you!"
+
+But her mom did not hear her. Her mom was deaf. She could not hear any sounds. Lily knew that, but sometimes she forgot.
+
+She tapped her mom's shoulder and pointed to her skirt. Her mom looked up and smiled. She saw the skirt and signed, "You are very pretty. I like your skirt."
+
+Lily smiled back and signed, "Thank you. I love you. You are the best mom."
+
+Her mom hugged her and signed, "I love you too. You are the best daughter. You value me even when I can't hear you."
+
+They cuddled on the couch and read the book together. Lily was happy. She had a skirt and a mom who loved her.
+Lily and Ben were twins who lived in a big house with their wealthy parents. They had many toys and books and clothes, but they were not happy. They always fought with each other and wanted more things.
+
+One day, their parents took them to the zoo. They saw many animals, like lions and monkeys and elephants. But Lily and Ben were bored. They did not listen to their parents or the zoo guide. They ran away from them and looked for something more fun.
+
+They found a pond with many crocodiles. They were big and green and had sharp teeth. Lily and Ben thought they were cool. They wanted to touch them and play with them. They climbed over the fence and went near the water.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can bite like a crocodile!" Lily said. She opened her mouth and made a snapping sound.
+
+"That's silly, Lily, you can't bite like a crocodile. You have small teeth and a small mouth. I can bite better than you!" Ben said. He opened his mouth and made a louder snapping sound.
+
+They did not see the real crocodile that was swimming towards them. It heard their noises and thought they were food. It came out of the water and opened its big mouth. It was ready to bite them.
+
+"Lily, Ben, come back here!" their parents shouted. They saw the crocodile and were scared. They ran to the fence and tried to pull their children away.
+
+But it was too late. The crocodile bit Lily and Ben. It hurt them a lot. They screamed and cried. Their parents were sad and angry. They called for help.
+
+The zoo staff came and chased the crocodile away. They took Lily and Ben to the hospital. They had many wounds and needed stitches. They learned a hard lesson. They should have listened to their parents and the zoo guide. They should have been happy with what they had. They should not have tried to bite like a crocodile.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a big doll that she liked to hug and dress up. Tom had a small car that he liked to zoom and crash.
+
+"Look at my car, Lily! It can go very fast and make loud sounds!" Tom said, showing off his toy.
+
+"That's nice, Tom. But my doll is better. She can talk and sing and dance!" Lily said, holding her toy.
+
+They started to argue about whose toy was better. They did not want to share or play together. They got louder and louder, and did not listen to their mom.
+
+Their mom was very sad and angry. She did not like to see them fight. She wanted them to be nice and kind. She had a magic wand that she used to teach them a lesson. She pointed it at their toys and said a magic word.
+
+"Shrink!"
+
+Suddenly, their toys became very tiny. Lily's doll was as small as a finger. Tom's car was as small as a coin. They could not play with them anymore. They were shocked and scared.
+
+"Mom, what did you do? Where are our toys?" they cried.
+
+"I made them shrink, because you were not sharing or playing nicely. You have to learn to be friends and respect each other. If you do, I will make them big again. If you don't, they will stay small forever." their mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they were wrong and mean. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They promised to be good and share and play together. They asked their mom to forgive them and make their toys big again.
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She was happy and proud. She used her magic wand again and said another magic word.
+
+"Grow!"
+
+Their toys became big again. Lily and Tom were happy and grateful. They thanked their mom and gave her a big kiss. They played with their toys together, taking turns and having fun. They invited their mom to join them and made her feel welcome. They forgot about their fight and became friends again.
+
+The living room was no longer gloomy. It was bright and cheerful. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned to be nice and kind.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big triangle on the grass. It is yellow and red and blue. They want to touch it.
+
+"Let's jog to the triangle!" Tom says. He is ready to run.
+
+"Wait, Tom!" Mia says. She is not ready. She has to tie her shoes. "We don't know what the triangle is. Maybe it is not safe."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He jogs to the triangle. He reaches out his hand. He touches the triangle. It is not soft. It is hard. It is metal. It is hot. It burns Tom's hand. He cries out loud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. He runs back to Mia. He shows her his hand. It is red and sore. He is sad and sorry.
+
+Mia hugs Tom. She is kind. She helps him find some water. She cools his hand. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. That triangle was not a toy. It was a sign. It said, 'Danger. Do not touch.' But you did not see it. You did not wait for me. You were too fast."
+
+Tom nods. He says, "You are right, Mia. I was too fast. I did not see. I did not wait. I was not careful. I was not smart. I learned a lesson. Next time, I will look before I touch. I will wait for you. I will be careful. I will be smart."
+
+Mia smiles. She says, "That's good, Tom. I'm glad you learned a lesson. You are still my friend. I still like to play with you. But now, let's find something else to play. Something safe and fun. Something that does not burn."
+
+Tom smiles too. He says, "OK, Mia. Let's do that. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for helping me. You are the best."
+
+They hold hands. They walk away from the triangle. They find a ball. They play with the ball. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big yellow slide. They want to go on it.
+
+"Me first!" Lily says. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. Ben follows her.
+
+"Wait for me!" Ben says. He tries to catch up with Lily, but he is slower. He struggles to climb the ladder. It is hard and metal and hurts his hands.
+
+Lily reaches the top of the slide. She sits down and slides down. She laughs and shouts, "Whee!"
+
+Ben is still on the ladder. He is almost at the top, but he slips and falls. He lands on the ground. He cries and says, "Ow!"
+
+Lily hears Ben cry. She runs to him and hugs him. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben nods and wipes his tears. He says, "I'm okay. It was just a little fall."
+
+Lily smiles and says, "Do you want to try again? I'll help you climb the ladder."
+
+Ben smiles and says, "Yes, please. Thank you, Lily. You're a good friend."
+
+They hold hands and walk to the slide. They climb the ladder together. They slide down together. They have fun.
+Sara and Ben like to draw with crayons. They have many colors and papers. They make pictures of animals, houses, flowers and cars. Sometimes they make mistakes and want to change their pictures. They use erasers to rub out the crayons.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben find a big eraser in the kitchen. It is white and soft and smells funny. They think it is a special eraser. They take it to their room and try to use it on their pictures. But the eraser does not work. It only makes the papers wet and dirty.
+
+"Maybe it needs water," Sara says. She has an idea. She goes to the bathroom and fills a bowl with water. She puts the eraser in the water and waits. She thinks the water will make the eraser better.
+
+"Can I see?" Ben asks. He follows Sara to the bathroom. He sees the bowl with the eraser and the water. He is curious. He picks up the eraser and squeezes it. Water splashes everywhere. He laughs.
+
+"Ben, stop!" Sara says. She is angry. She wants to be careful with the eraser. She thinks it is special. She grabs the eraser from Ben and puts it back in the bowl. She hopes it will work soon.
+
+But the eraser does not work. It only gets bigger and softer and smellier. Sara and Ben do not know that the eraser is not an eraser. It is a sponge. A sponge is not for rubbing out crayons. A sponge is for cleaning dishes.
+
+Their mom comes to the bathroom and sees the mess. She sees the sponge in the bowl, the water on the floor, the wet and dirty papers. She is not happy. She scolds Sara and Ben. She tells them to clean up the bathroom and throw away the papers. She tells them to never use the sponge again. She tells them to be more careful with their things.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They lose their pictures and their eraser. They have to clean up the bathroom and say sorry to their mom. They learn a lesson. They learn that not everything is what it seems. They learn that they should ask before they use something. They learn that they should be more careful.
+Tom and Lily like to play in the big maze in the park. The maze has many paths and walls made of green plants. Sometimes they get lost, but they always find each other and the way out.
+
+One day, they meet a funny bird in the maze. The bird is blue and yellow and can talk. It says hello and asks them if they want to play a game. Tom and Lily say yes, because they like games.
+

+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Ben, but she could not see him. She heard a giggle from behind the big bush. She ran towards the bush and saw a foot sticking out.
+
+"Found you, Ben!" she shouted. She pulled the foot and Ben came out of the bush. He was laughing and smiling. He had a big leaf on his head.
+
+"That was a good hiding place, Ben. But you forgot to hide your foot. It was easy to see," Lily said.
+
+"I know, I know. But it was so comfortable under the bush. The leaf was like a hat. It was cool and shady," Ben said.
+
+"Can I try it?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can. But you have to be the hider now. I will be the seeker," Ben said.
+

+
+But the teacher did hear them. She had very sharp ears. She turned around and saw Tim and Mia whispering. She frowned and walked towards them. She looked very angry.
+
+"Tim and Mia, what are you doing?" she asked in a loud voice. "You are not supposed to whisper in class. You are supposed to listen and learn. You are very naughty and rude. You have to stay after school and write 'I will not whisper in class' a hundred times."
+
+Tim and Mia felt guilty. They knew they had done something wrong. They looked at the teacher and said, "We are sorry, teacher. We will not whisper in class again."

+"Let's open it!" Ben says. He takes a scissors and tries to cut the tape.

+
+But Ben does not listen. He cuts the tape and opens the box. He sees a lot of shiny things inside. He wants to touch them.
+
+"Wow, look at these!" Ben says. He reaches for a necklace.
+
+"Ben, stop!" Anna says. "Those are not toys. They are mom's jewels. She will be very angry if you touch them. Put them back and close the box."
+
+But Ben does not listen. He puts the necklace around his neck. He feels happy. He does not see the sharp pin on the necklace. It pokes his skin. He cries out in pain.
+

+
+Mia nods. She says, "Maybe. But we can still be friends with them. We can share our flag and our park and our games."
+

+Tom nodded and hugged his dad. He learned his lesson. He learned that cooking is not easy and that he should respect his dad's rules. He learned that he should be patient and wait for his time. He learned that he should be happy with who he is and not try to be someone else. He learned that his dad loves him no matter what.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a lot of toys, but they were bored. They wanted to do something new and fun.
+
+"Let's bury something!" Tom said. He had a big shovel and a bucket. "We can dig a hole and hide something inside. Then we can find it later."
+
+"Okay!" Lily said. She liked the idea. She looked around for something to bury. She saw a jar of mint on the table. Her mom had picked it from the garden. It smelled good and fresh. "Let's bury this!" she said. She grabbed the jar and ran to Tom.
+
+"Are you sure?" Tom asked. He liked mint too. He thought it was tasty and cool. "Maybe we should bury something else. Something we don't want."
+
+"No, no, no!" Lily said. She was stubborn. She wanted to bury the mint. She thought it would be a good surprise. "Come on, help me dig!"
+
+Tom shrugged. He didn't want to argue with Lily. He liked her. He was her friend. He helped her dig a big hole in the ground. They put the jar of mint inside. They covered it with dirt. They patted it down. They smiled.
+
+"We did it!" Lily said. She was happy. She thought they had a secret. "Now we can go play something else. And later we can come back and dig it up."
+
+"Okay!" Tom said. He hoped the mint would be okay. He hoped his mom wouldn't miss it. He hoped Lily would share it with him. He followed her to the swing. They swung back and forth. They forgot about the mint.
+
+But their mom didn't. She came out to the garden. She wanted to make some tea. She looked for the jar of mint. She couldn't find it. She saw a big hole in the ground. She saw a shovel and a bucket. She saw Lily and Tom on the swing. She knew what they had done.
+
+"Lily! Tom!" she called. She was not happy. She was angry. She wanted her mint back. "What did you do with my mint? Why did you bury it?"
+
+Lily and Tom stopped swinging. They looked at their mom. They saw her face. They knew they were in trouble. They felt bad. They wished they had buried something else. Something boring.
+Lila and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lila was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Tom ran behind a big tree and waited for Lila to find him. He was very quiet and still.
+
+Lila looked around the park and saw many things. She saw flowers, birds, swings, and slides. But she did not see Tom yet. She called out, "Tom, where are you? I can't find you!"
+
+Tom heard Lila's voice and smiled. He thought he was very good at hiding. He decided to make a noise to give Lila a clue. He made a loud "boo" sound from behind the tree.
+
+Lila heard the "boo" sound and turned around. She saw the tree and ran towards it. She was sure Tom was there. But when she reached the tree, she saw nothing. Tom was not there. He had disappeared!
+
+Tom had seen Lila running and quickly moved to another hiding spot. He ran behind a bench and lay down on the ground. He was very fast and graceful. He thought Lila would never find him.
+
+Lila was confused and surprised. She looked around the tree and saw no sign of Tom. She wondered where he had gone. She said, "Tom, where are you? You disappeared! That's not fair!"
+
+Tom heard Lila's words and giggled. He thought it was very funny. He decided to give Lila another clue. He made a loud "meow" sound from behind the bench.
+
+Lila heard the "meow" sound and turned around. She saw the bench and ran towards it. She was sure Tom was there. But when she reached the bench, she saw nothing. Tom was not there. He had disappeared again!
+
+Tom had seen Lila running and quickly moved to another hiding spot. He ran behind a fountain and hid behind the water. He was very clever and sneaky. He thought Lila would never find him.
+
+Lila was frustrated and curious. She looked around the bench and saw no sign of Tom. She wondered where he had gone. She said, "Tom, where are you? You disappeared again! That's not fun!"
+
+Tom heard Lila's words and laughed. He thought it was very fun. He decided to give Lila one last clue. He made a loud "quack" sound from behind the fountain.
+
+Lila heard the "quack" sound and turned around. She saw the fountain and ran towards it. She was sure Tom was there. But when she reached the fountain, she saw something. Tom was there. He had not disappeared. He was wet and smiling.
+
+Lila was happy and relieved. She found Tom at last. She said, "Tom, there you are! You did not disappear. You were hiding behind the water. You are very good at hiding. But you are also very silly. You are all wet!"
+
+Tom said, "Lila, you are very good at seeking. But you are also very smart. You found me at last. You are all dry!"
+
+Lila and Tom hugged and laughed. They had a lot of fun playing hide and seek. They decided to play again. But this time, Lila would hide and Tom would seek. They wondered who would disappear and who would find. They were very good friends.
+Lila and Sam were playing in the park. They had a bow and some arrows that they made from sticks and string. They liked to pretend they were hunters and shoot at the trees and the birds.
+
+"Look, Sam, I hit that big tree!" Lila said, eager to show her brother her arrow.
+
+"Wow, Lila, you are good!" Sam said, proud of his sister. "Can I try?"
+
+"Sure, Sam, here you go." Lila gave him the bow and an arrow. "But be careful, don't shoot at people or animals, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Lila, I know." Sam said, taking the bow and the arrow. He looked around for a target. He saw a squirrel on a branch. He thought it would be fun to shoot at it. He aimed and pulled the string.
+
+"Sam, no!" Lila shouted, seeing what he was doing. "That's not nice! You can hurt the squirrel!"
+
+But it was too late. Sam let go of the string and the arrow flew towards the squirrel. The squirrel saw the arrow and jumped away. The arrow missed the squirrel, but hit a man who was walking by. The man yelled and fell to the ground.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! What are you doing, kids? That's dangerous!" The man said, holding his leg where the arrow hit him.
+
+Lila and Sam ran to the man. They were scared and sorry. They did not mean to hurt him.
+
+"We are sorry, mister, we are sorry!" Lila said, crying. "We were playing with our bow and arrows, we did not see you!"
+
+"We are sorry, mister, we are sorry!" Sam said, crying too. "I wanted to shoot at the squirrel, but I missed, I did not mean to hit you!"
+
+The man looked at them. He was angry, but he saw they were just kids. He saw they were sorry. He took the arrow out of his leg. It was not deep, but it still hurt.
+
+"Kids, you should not play with bow and arrows in the park. You can hurt yourselves or others. You should quit this game and find something else to play with. Do you understand?" The man said, sternly.
+
+"Yes, mister, we understand. We are sorry. We will quit this game. We will find something else to play with." Lila and Sam said, nodding.
+
+"Good. Now go and find your parents and tell them what happened. And be more careful next time." The man said, getting up.
+
+Lila and Sam ran to find their parents. They told them what happened. Their parents were upset and scolded them. They also apologized to the man and helped him with his wound. They took away their bow and arrows and gave them some books and crayons instead. Lila and Sam learned their lesson. They never played with bow and arrows again. They found other games to play with that were safer and nicer.
+Lily likes jazz. Jazz is music with drums and horns and piano. Lily has a jazz CD that she plays in her room. She dances and sings along to the jazz songs.
+
+One day, Lily wants to show her jazz CD to her friend Max. Max comes to her house to play. Lily says, "Max, do you like jazz?"
+
+Max says, "What is jazz?"
+
+Lily says, "Jazz is music that makes you happy and free. Come, I will show you my jazz CD."
+
+Lily takes Max to her room and puts the CD in the player. She presses play and the jazz music starts. Lily claps her hands and moves her feet. She says, "This is jazz, Max. Do you like it?"
+
+Max listens to the jazz music. He hears the drums and horns and piano. He sees Lily dancing and singing. He thinks the jazz music is fun and loud. He says, "Yes, I like jazz, Lily. Can I dance and sing with you?"
+
+Lily says, "Of course, Max. Jazz is for everyone. Come, let's dance and sing together."
+
+Lily and Max dance and sing to the jazz music. They have a lot of fun. They are not serious. They are happy and free. They like jazz.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many plants. Some are big, some are small. Some are green, some are red. Some have flowers, some have fruits.
+
+Lily likes the white plant. It has white flowers and white berries. She picks one berry and shows it to Tom.
+
+"Look, Tom, a white berry! Do you want one?" she asks.
+
+Tom shakes his head. He does not like the white plant. He knows it is bad. His mom told him so.
+
+"No, Lily, do not eat that! That plant is bad. It can make you sick. Mom said so," he replies.
+
+Lily is surprised. She does not know the plant is bad. She thinks it is pretty.
+
+"Why is it bad, Tom? It is white and pretty. How can it make me sick?" she asks.
+
+Tom does not know how to explain. He only knows what his mom said.
+
+"I do not know, Lily. But mom knows. She said it is poison. Poison is very bad. It can hurt you. You have to throw it away," he replies.
+
+Lily trusts Tom. She does not want to get hurt. She throws the white berry away. She feels sad. She liked the white plant.
+
+"Okay, Tom, I threw it away. But can we still play with the other plants? They are not bad, right?" she asks.
+
+Tom nods. He smiles. He likes the other plants. They are not bad. They are good. They can play with them.
+
+"Yes, Lily, we can play with the other plants. They are good. They have colors and smells and tastes. We can make a bouquet or a salad or a juice. Come on, let's go!" he replies.
+
+Lily and Tom run to the other plants. They forget about the white plant. They have fun in the garden. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big beetle on the grass. It was black and shiny. Lily and Tom wanted to see it.
+
+"Look, a beetle!" Lily said. "It is fine. Can we touch it?"
+
+"OK, but be careful," Tom said. "It may bite."
+
+They went closer to the beetle. The beetle did not move. It was still. Lily and Tom touched it gently. It felt hard and smooth.
+
+"Can we play with it?" Lily asked. "Maybe it can dance."
+
+"Let's try," Tom said. "I have a stick. I can make it move."
+
+Tom took a stick and poked the beetle. The beetle did not like it. It was angry. It opened its wings and flew up. It buzzed loudly. It flew to Tom's face and bit his nose.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "It hurts! It hurts!"
+
+Lily was scared. She ran away. She left Tom alone. She did not help him.
+
+The beetle flew away. It was happy. It had taught Tom a lesson. Tom was sad. He had a red nose. He had no friend. He did not want to play with beetles anymore. He learned a lesson too.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. Yesterday, they saw a big bird in a tree. It had red and blue feathers and a long tail.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Tom said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+Anna nodded. "Yes, it is. Do you know what kind of bird it is?"
+
+Tom shook his head. "No, I don't. Maybe it is a parrot. I saw a parrot in a book once. It could talk and say hello."
+
+Anna smiled. "That is cool. Do you think this bird can talk too?"
+
+Tom shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe we can ask it. Hello, bird! Can you talk?"
+
+The bird looked at them and opened its beak. It made a loud noise. "Squawk! Squawk!"
+
+Tom and Anna jumped. They were scared. The bird sounded angry.
+
+"Uh-oh, I think we made it mad," Tom said. "Maybe we should go away."
+
+Anna agreed. "Yes, let's go. We should be careful. The bird might bite us."
+
+They ran away from the tree. They did not want to bother the bird anymore.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned that not all birds are friendly. They learned that they should not talk to birds they do not know. They learned that they should believe their eyes and ears. They learned that they should be careful in the park.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with paint and balloons. They have many colors of paint and many shapes of balloons. They are flexible. They can make anything they want with paint and balloons.
+
+One day, they decide to make a big picture with paint and balloons. They find a big paper and put it on the floor. They blow up some balloons and dip them in paint. Then they press the balloons on the paper. They make dots and circles and lines with the balloons. They use red and blue and yellow and green paint. They are happy.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a flower with a balloon!" Tom says. He shows Lily his flower. It has a yellow center and red petals.
+

+Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily was a lion and Max was a monkey. They roared and jumped and laughed.
+
+But then Lily felt something in her tummy. She needed to go to the bathroom. She told Max, "I have to go pee-pee. Wait for me, okay?" Max nodded and said, "Okay, Lily. Hurry back." Lily ran to the bathroom and closed the door.
+
+Max waited for a while, but Lily did not come back. He started to feel bored and lonely. He looked around and saw a distant window. He wondered what was outside. He walked to the window and climbed on a chair. He saw a big tree and some birds and a blue sky. He smiled and waved at the birds.
+
+But then he heard a loud noise. It was Lily. She was crying. Max got scared and jumped off the chair. He ran to the bathroom and knocked on the door. He said, "Lily, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
+
+Lily opened the door and hugged Max. She had tears on her face and a wet spot on her pants. She said, "I'm sorry, Max. I couldn't make it to the toilet. I peed on myself. I'm so embarrassed." Max hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Lily. It happens sometimes. Don't be sad. I'm here for you."
+
+They went to the living room and found their mom. She saw Lily's pants and said, "Oh, honey, it's okay. Let's go change your clothes. You're not in trouble. Accidents happen." She took Lily to her room and gave her a clean pair of pants. She kissed her and said, "You're a brave girl, Lily. I love you."
+
+Max followed them and said, "I love you too, Lily. You're my best friend. Do you want to play with me again?" Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Max. Thank you for being so nice to me. You're my best friend too. Let's play again." They hugged and went back to the living room. They picked up their toys and continued to play. They were happy.
+Tom likes to rise early in the morning. He likes to see the sun come up and make the sky bright. He likes to hear the birds sing and the wind blow. He likes to have the quiet time for himself, before his mom and dad and baby sister wake up.
+
+One morning, Tom rises very early. He puts on his shoes and coat and goes outside. He sees something new in the garden. It is a tall plant with a big red flower on top. Tom has never seen it before. He wonders how it got there. He walks closer to look at it.
+
+The plant is taller than Tom. It has green leaves and a long stem. The flower is round and shiny. It smells sweet. Tom likes the flower. He wants to touch it. He reaches up with his hand.
+
+But the flower is not a flower. It is a balloon. Someone tied it to the plant as a joke. When Tom touches it, it pops. It makes a loud noise. Tom is scared. He drops his hand and runs back to the house.
+
+He hears his mom and dad and baby sister wake up. They hear the noise too. They come outside to see what happened. They see the popped balloon and the plant. They laugh. They tell Tom it was a joke. They hug him and say they are sorry. They give him a real flower to make him happy. Tom smiles. He still likes to rise early, but he does not like balloons on plants.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with balls in the park. They throw the balls to each other and catch them. Sometimes they miss and the balls roll away.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and big ears. The dog runs after the balls and picks them up with its mouth. It does not give them back.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Tim shouts. He runs after the dog and tries to get the ball. The dog growls and runs away.
+
+"Tim, be careful!" Sam says. He follows Tim and the dog. He is scared of the dog. The dog is loud and fast.
+
+They chase the dog for a long time. They get tired and thirsty. They lose sight of the dog and the balls. They do not know where they are.
+
+"Where is the park?" Tim asks. He looks around and sees only trees and houses. He does not see their mom or dad.
+
+"I don't know," Sam says. He starts to cry. He wants to go home.
+
+They sit on the ground and hug each other. They are sad and scared. They wish they had their balls and their mom and dad.
+
+After a minute, they hear a familiar voice. It is their mom. She is looking for them. She sees them and runs to them. She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+"Tim, Sam, where have you been?" she asks. She is worried and angry.
+
+"We were playing with balls, but a dog took them and we followed it and we got lost," Tim says. He is sorry and ashamed.
+
+"Never follow a stranger, even if it is a dog," mom says. She is stern and serious. "You could get hurt or in trouble. You have to stay where I can see you."
+
+"We're sorry, mom," Sam says. He is relieved and grateful.
+
+Mom takes them by the hand and leads them back to the park. She finds their balls and gives them back. She also gives them water and cookies. She tells them she loves them and they are safe.
+
+Tim and Sam are happy and sorry. They promise to listen to mom and not follow dogs. They play with their balls and mom. They are careful and smart. They have fun and learn.
+Mira and Leo were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a ball that they could kick, throw and catch. They had a lot of fun together, but sometimes they also fought.
+
+One evening, they were playing with the ball when Leo kicked it too hard and it flew over the fence. Mira ran after it, but Leo stopped her.
+
+"No, Mira, you can't go there. That's Mr. Brown's yard. He is mean and scary. He will yell at us and take our ball."
+
+"But Leo, that's our ball. We need to get it back. Maybe Mr. Brown is not so mean. Maybe he will give it to us if we ask nicely."
+
+"No, Mira, you are silly. Mr. Brown is always mean. He never smiles or says hello. He has a big dog that barks and bites. He will not give us our ball. He will strike us with his stick. Come on, let's go inside. It's getting dark anyway."
+
+Mira was sad and angry. She wanted to get their ball back. She did not believe that Mr. Brown was so mean. She thought that Leo was being a coward. She decided to go to Mr. Brown's yard by herself. She waited until Leo went inside, then she climbed over the fence.
+
+She saw the ball lying on the grass. She also saw Mr. Brown sitting on a chair, watching the sunset. He had a big dog next to him, but it was not barking or biting. It was wagging its tail and licking Mr. Brown's hand. Mr. Brown looked old and lonely, but not mean or scary.
+
+Mira walked towards him, holding out her hand.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Brown. I'm Mira. I live next door. I'm sorry to bother you, but that's my ball. Can I have it back, please?"
+
+Mr. Brown looked at her with surprise. He smiled and nodded.
+
+"Hello, Mira. I'm glad to meet you. Of course you can have your ball back. It's a nice ball. Do you like to play with it?"
+
+"Yes, I do. I play with it with my twin brother, Leo. He's inside. He was afraid to come here. He thinks you are mean and scary. He thinks you will strike us with your stick."
+
+Mr. Brown laughed and shook his head.
+
+"No, Mira, I'm not mean or scary. I'm just old and tired. I don't strike anyone with my stick. I use it to help me walk. And this is my dog, Spot. He's not barking or biting. He's just lively and friendly. He likes to play with balls, too."
+
+Mira smiled and petted Spot. He licked her face and wagged his tail.
+
+"Can I play with Spot for a while? He seems very nice. Maybe Leo will come and play, too. Maybe he will see that you are not mean or scary. Maybe he will say hello and be your friend."
+
+Mr. Brown nodded and smiled.
+
+"Sure, Mira, you can play with Spot for a while. He would love that. And maybe Leo will come and play, too. Maybe he will see that I'm not mean or scary. Maybe he will say hello and be my friend. That would make me very happy."
+
+Mira and Spot played with the ball until the sun went down. They had a lot of fun. Leo saw them from the window and felt curious. He decided to join them. He climbed over the fence and said hello to Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown said hello to him and gave him a candy. Leo said thank you and smiled. He played with Mira and Spot and had a lot of fun. He saw that Mr. Brown was not mean or scary. He saw that he was old and lonely, but also kind and gentle. He saw that he was a good neighbor and a good friend.
+
+Mira and Leo learned a lesson that evening. They learned not to judge people by their looks or rumors. They learned to be brave and polite. They learned to be friendly and helpful. They learned to share and care. They learned that sometimes the best things happen when you go over the fence.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they see a shiny thing on the table. It is an ashtray. Mom says it is expensive and not for kids.
+
+"Look, Sam, it is shiny and round. Let's play with it," Tim says.
+
+"No, Tim, Mom says no. It is not a toy. It is for Dad. He puts his smoke in it," Sam says.
+
+"But I want to see it. Maybe it makes a sound. Maybe it has a secret. Come on, Sam, help me get it," Tim says.
+
+Tim and Sam climb on the chairs. They reach for the ashtray. But it is too far. They stretch and stretch. They lose their balance. They fall down. The ashtray falls down too. It breaks into pieces. It makes a loud noise.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise. They run to the table. They see Tim and Sam on the floor. They see the broken ashtray. They are angry and sad.
+
+"Tim, Sam, what did you do? This was an expensive ashtray. It was a gift from Grandma. How could you be so naughty?" Mom says.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play with it. We thought it was a toy. We did not mean to break it," Tim and Sam say.
+
+"You should not touch things that are not yours. You should listen to Mom and Dad. You should be careful and safe. You could have hurt yourselves or the table. You are in big trouble. Go to your room. No more play for today," Dad says.
+
+Tim and Sam cry. They go to their room. They feel bad. They wish they did not break the ashtray. They wish they did not make Mom and Dad angry and sad. They wish they did not play with the expensive ashtray.

+
+But when he came back, his taxi was gone. He looked around and saw a big boy holding his taxi. The big boy was laughing and throwing the taxi in the air. Sam felt angry and sad. He ran to the big boy and shouted, "Give me back my taxi!"
+
+The big boy did not listen. He threw the taxi harder and harder. Then he threw it on the ground. The taxi broke into pieces. Sam saw his taxi's wheels and windows and doors scattered on the grass. He cried and cried.
+
+His mom came and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Sam. Your taxi is broken. We can buy you a new one." But Sam did not want a new one. He wanted his old one. He loved his old one. He said, "No, mom. I want my taxi. My taxi was fine. My taxi was fine."
+Lily and Max liked to play with their vehicles. They had cars, trucks, buses and trains. They made noises and raced them on the floor. They had fun.
+
+One day, Lily found a new vehicle in the toy box. It was a shiny red fire truck. It had a ladder and a hose. Lily loved it. She wanted to play with it.
+
+Max saw the fire truck too. He wanted to play with it. He said, "Give me the fire truck, Lily. It is mine." He tried to grab it from Lily.
+
+Lily said, "No, Max. It is not yours. It is mine. I found it first." She held the fire truck tight.
+
+Max and Lily started to fight. They pulled and pushed. They shouted and cried. They were grumpy.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She came to the room. She saw Max and Lily fighting. She said, "Stop, Max and Lily. What is going on?"
+
+Max and Lily told Mom about the fire truck. They both wanted it. They both said it was theirs.
+
+Mom said, "Max and Lily, you need to share. The fire truck is not yours or mine. It is for both of you. You can take turns to play with it. Or you can play with it together. Sharing is nice. Fighting is not."
+
+Max and Lily thought about what Mom said. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Max."
+
+They decided to share the fire truck. They played with it together. They made noises and raced it on the floor. They had fun. They were not grumpy anymore.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big tunnel in the park. They can run and hide in the tunnel.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their moms. They run to the tunnel and say, "Let's play here!"
+
+They go inside the tunnel and make funny noises. They laugh and shout. They have fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud sound. It is a train. The train is coming to the tunnel. They are scared.
+
+"Run, run!" Tom says. "The train is loud and fast!"

+They run out of the tunnel and see their moms. Their moms are worried. They hug them and say, "Are you okay? You should not play in the tunnel. It is not safe. The train can hurt you."
+
+Tom and Mia are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, moms. We did not know. We will not play in the tunnel again. We will stay with you."

+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to run, jump, slide and swing. They had a lot of fun with their friends and toys.
+
+"Look, mom, look!" Lily said, pointing at the sky. "A big bird!"
+
+Mom looked up and saw a plane flying high. It was shiny and loud. "That's not a bird, Lily. That's a plane. People go inside and fly to far places."
+
+"Wow!" Ben said. "Can we go inside a plane too?"
+
+"Maybe someday, Ben. Planes are very expensive and not everyone can fly. Some people are famous and they fly a lot. They are on TV and in books. Do you know any famous people?"
+
+Ben and Lily thought hard. They knew some famous people from their favorite shows and stories. They named them one by one.
+
+"Elmo, Peppa, Elsa, Spider-Man, Dora, Moana..."
+
+Mom smiled and nodded. She was proud of her smart kids. She looked at her watch and saw that it was time to go home.
+
+"OK, kids, it's time to go. Say bye to your friends and pack your toys. We have to catch the bus."
+
+Ben and Lily said bye to their friends and packed their toys. They were tired from playing so much. They followed mom to the bus stop. They waited for the bus and yawned. They were sleepy and hungry.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "You did great today, kids. You learned a lot and had fun. When we get home, we'll have dinner and read a story. Maybe we'll read a story about a famous person who flies in a plane. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They liked stories. They climbed on the bus and sat next to mom. They looked out the window and saw the sky. It was getting dark and the stars were coming out. They wondered if the famous people could see them too. They closed their eyes and dreamed of flying.

+
+Lily and Sam wanted to show their grandma their dollhouse. They took her to their room and opened the door. But they saw that their room was very messy. There were toys, clothes, and papers everywhere. The dollhouse was dirty and broken.
+
+"Oh, dear," said grandma. "What happened here? Your room is not clean at all. How can you play with your dollhouse like this?"
+
+Lily and Sam felt ashamed. They knew they had been lazy and careless. They had not put away their things or fixed their dollhouse. They had not listened to their mom when she told them to tidy up.
+
+"We're sorry, grandma," they said. "We were having too much fun and forgot to clean. We love our dollhouse, but we didn't take care of it."
+
+Grandma smiled and hugged them. "I understand, my dears. But you know, God gave you this dollhouse and this room as a gift. He wants you to be happy and enjoy them. But he also wants you to be grateful and responsible. You should take care of what you have and keep it clean and neat. That way, you can play better and share with others. And you can also pray and thank God for his blessings."
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They felt sorry for being ungrateful and irresponsible. They wanted to make grandma and God happy. They asked grandma to help them clean their room and fix their dollhouse. They worked hard and soon their room was clean and their dollhouse was beautiful.
+
+They showed their grandma their dollhouse again. They invited her to play with them and make up stories. They had a lot of fun and laughter. They also prayed with grandma and thanked God for their dollhouse, their room, their grandma, and each other.

+Tom and Lily were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Tom had a big shield made of cardboard and Lily had a long stick for a sword. They pretended to fight the scary dragon that lived in the bushes.

+
+She walked quietly to the tree and peeked behind it. She saw Tom's feet sticking out from a hole in the trunk. She smiled and whispered, "I found you, Tom!"
+
+Tom heard Lily's voice and tried to pull his feet back into the hole. But he was stuck. He felt a sharp pain in his ankle. He heard a loud crack. He was scared and worried. He cried, "Help, Lily! I'm stuck and it hurts!"
+
+Lily heard Tom's cry and ran to him. She saw his face was red and wet with tears. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. I'll help you. I'll get Mom and Dad. They'll know what to do."
+
+She ran to the house and knocked on the door. She told Mom and Dad what happened. They followed her to the tree. They saw Tom's feet in the hole. They gently pulled him out.

+
+Tom felt better when he heard Mom and Dad's words. He thanked Lily for finding him and helping him. He said, "You're a good sister, Lily. I'm sorry I hid in the hole. It was a bad idea."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you're not hurt too much. Next time, let's hide somewhere else. Somewhere safer and more fun."
+Lila was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She liked to print pictures with her crayons and paper. She had many colors, but her favorite was blue. She always used blue for the sky, the water, and the flowers.
+
+One day, she wanted to print a picture of her family. She drew her mom, her dad, and herself. She used blue for their eyes, their clothes, and their smiles. She was very proud of her picture and wanted to show it to her parents. She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was cooking and her dad was reading.
+
+"Look, look, I printed a picture of us!" she said, holding up her paper.
+
+Her mom and dad smiled and praised her for her work. They said it was very beautiful and creative. They also said they loved her very much.
+
+But then, her dad said, "Lila, can I ask you something? Why did you use blue for everything? Don't you like other colors?"
+
+Lila frowned and said, "No, I only like blue. Blue is the best color. I don't need other colors."
+
+Her mom said, "But Lila, there are so many other colors in the world. Colors that are bright, warm, soft, or fun. Colors that can make your pictures more interesting and diverse. Colors that can show your feelings and thoughts. Don't you want to try them?"
+
+Lila shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to try them. I only want blue. I can do what I want. I am independent."
+
+Her mom and dad looked at each other and sighed. They wanted to help Lila learn and grow, but they did not want to force her. They decided to let her be, but they also had an idea.
+
+The next day, they gave Lila a surprise. They bought her a new book of stories and pictures. The book had many colors, not just blue. It had red, yellow, green, purple, orange, and more. It had stories of animals, people, places, and adventures. It had pictures that were funny, sad, scary, and happy.
+
+They said, "Lila, we have a gift for you. We thought you might like this book. It has many stories and pictures that you can read and look at. You can also print them if you want. We hope you enjoy it."
+
+Lila was curious and excited. She thanked her mom and dad and opened the book. She saw the colors and the images. She read the words and the sentences. She felt the emotions and the messages. She was amazed and delighted. She realized that there was more to the world than blue. She realized that there were more ways to express herself than blue. She realized that being independent did not mean being alone or stubborn. It meant being open and brave.
+
+She ran to her mom and dad and hugged them. She said, "Thank you, thank you for the book. It is wonderful and amazing. I love it and I love you. Can I print some pictures from it? Can I use other colors too?"
+
+Her mom and dad smiled and nodded. They said, "Of course, Lila. You can print whatever you want. You can use whatever colors you want. We are happy that you like the book. We are proud of you for being independent and for trying new things."
+
+Lila smiled and said, "Thank you, mom and dad. You are the best. You taught me a lesson. Blue is still my favorite color, but I also like other colors. They make my pictures and my life more colorful."
+Tom and Mia liked to play with their toy laser. It was a shiny stick that made a red dot on the wall. They could move the dot by pointing the stick in different directions. Sometimes they pretended the dot was a bug or a star or a monster.
+
+One day, they were playing with the laser in their room. It was a gloomy day and the sky was gray. They wanted to make the dot brighter, so they turned off the light. The room became dark and the dot became more red.
+
+Tom had an idea. He said to Mia, "Let's make the dot bigger. Lean the stick on the window and see what happens." Mia did what Tom said. She leaned the stick on the window and pointed it at the sky. The dot became bigger and bigger until it looked like a huge ball of fire.
+
+Tom and Mia were amazed. They said, "Wow, look at that! We made a sun with our laser!" They smiled and clapped their hands. They felt happy and warm.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She came into the room and saw the laser on the window. She said, "What are you doing? You can't point the laser at the sky. You could hurt someone's eyes or cause trouble. Turn it off right now!"
+
+Tom and Mia felt scared and sorry. They turned off the laser and said, "We're sorry, mom. We didn't know. We just wanted to make the dot bigger and brighter. We won't do it again."
+
+Mom said, "I know you were just playing, but you have to be careful with the laser. It's not a toy. It's a tool. You can only use it with me or dad. And never point it at the sky or at people or animals. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Mia nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We're sorry." Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay. I love you. But next time, if you want to make a sun, use your crayons and paper."
+Tom and Lily liked to pretend they were superheroes. They had capes and masks and toys that made noises. They played every day after school in the park. They had incredible fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. It was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. Tom and Lily thought it was a villain. They decided to stop it. They ran towards the dog and shouted, "Stop, bad dog! We are superheroes!"
+
+The dog did not like the noise. It growled and barked and chased Tom and Lily. They were scared and ran away. But the dog was faster. It caught Tom and bit his leg. Tom cried out in pain. Lily screamed for help.
+
+A man came and pulled the dog away. He was the dog's owner. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. He's not a bad dog. He's just scared of loud noises. You shouldn't pretend to be superheroes and run at him. He might think you want to hurt him."
+
+Tom and Lily were very sorry. They said, "We're sorry, mister. We didn't know. We just wanted to play."
+
+The man took Tom and Lily to the hospital. Tom had to get stitches and a bandage. He had to stay in bed for a week. He couldn't play with Lily or pretend to be a superhero. He was very sad. He wished he had never seen the dog. He learned that pretending can be dangerous.
+Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play pretend and make up stories. One day, they decided to put on a show for their moms and dads. They found a big box and made it into a stage. They used crayons and paper to make signs and costumes.
+
+"What do you want to be, Lily?" Ben asked.
+
+"I want to be a princess," Lily said. "And you can be a dragon."
+
+"Okay," Ben said. "But I will be a nice dragon, not a mean one."
+
+They put on their costumes and got ready to start their show. Lily wore a pink dress and a crown. Ben wore a gray sheet and a cardboard horn.
+
+"Welcome to our show," Lily said to the audience. "I am Princess Lily and this is my friend, Dragon Ben. We are going to have an adventure in the forest."
+
+They pretended to walk in the forest and look for flowers and animals. They picked some daisies and gave them to their moms and dads. They saw a bird and a squirrel and said hello to them.
+
+But then, they heard a loud roar. It was a real dragon, and it was very mean. It had red scales and yellow eyes. It flew over the forest and saw Ben and Lily.
+
+"Who are you?" the real dragon said. "You are not a dragon. You are a fake dragon. And you are with a princess. I don't like princesses. I like to eat them."
+
+Ben and Lily were very scared. They ran back to their stage and hid behind the box.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily cried. "There is a mean dragon. He wants to eat me."
+
+"Don't worry, Lily," Ben said. "I will protect you. I am a nice dragon. I will fight the mean dragon."
+
+Ben came out from behind the box and faced the real dragon. He made a loud roar and waved his cardboard horn.
+
+"Go away, mean dragon," Ben said. "You are not welcome here. This is our forest. And this is my friend, Princess Lily. You can't eat her. She is very nice and pretty."
+
+The real dragon laughed. He thought Ben was very silly and weak. He flew closer to the stage and opened his mouth.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha," the real dragon said. "You are no match for me, fake dragon. You are just a boy with a sheet and a horn. I will eat you and the princess. And then I will eat your moms and dads too."
+
+But then, something unexpected happened. The real dragon sneezed. He sneezed so hard that he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He sneezed again and again. He couldn't stop sneezing.
+
+"What's wrong with you, mean dragon?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know," the real dragon said. "I think I'm allergic to something. Maybe it's the flowers. Or the squirrel. Or the crayons. Or the cardboard. Or the sheet. Or the horn. Or the princess. Or the fake dragon. Or the stage. Or the audience. Or the air. Or the sun. Or the sky. Or the earth. Or the water. Or the fire. Or the wind. Or the moon. Or the stars. Or the..."
+
+He sneezed so much that he couldn't talk anymore. He sneezed so much that he couldn't see anymore. He sneezed so much that he couldn't fly anymore. He sneezed so much that he couldn't stay anymore. He sneezed so much that he had to go away.
+
+Ben and Lily watched him go. They were very happy and relieved. They hugged each other and cheered.
+
+"Yay, we did it!" Lily said. "We scared away the mean dragon. You are a very brave and smart dragon, Ben."
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Ben said. "You are a very kind and beautiful princess."
+
+They bowed to their moms and dads and said thank you for watching their show. Their moms and dads clapped and smiled. They were very proud and impressed.
+
+"That was a wonderful show," Ben's mom said. "You are very creative and talented, Ben and Lily."
+
+"That was a very funny show," Lily's dad said. "You are very clever and funny, Ben and Lily."
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and blushed. They were very happy and grateful. They were best friends. They liked to play pretend and make up stories. And they liked to put on shows. The end.
+Ben liked to sail his toy boat in the bath. He had a big blue boat with a white sail and a red flag. He made waves with his hand and pretended he was a captain. He had a lot of fun with his boat.
+
+One day, he wanted to sail his boat outside. He asked his mom if he could. His mom said yes, but he had to be careful. She gave him a tray to put his boat on. She said the tray would help him carry his boat and keep it dry. Ben thanked his mom and took his boat and his tray outside.
+
+He went to the pond in the park. He saw some ducks and some fish. He thought his boat would like to sail with them. He put his boat on the water and let go of the tray. He watched his boat sail away. He was happy.
+
+But then, a big wind came. It blew his boat and his tray. His boat tipped over and sank. His tray flew up in the air and landed on a tree. Ben was sad. He cried and cried. He wanted his boat and his tray back.
+
+His mom heard him cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw his boat and his tray. She hugged him and said she was sorry. She said she would get him a new boat and a new tray. She said they would go home and have some cookies. Ben felt a little better. He said he loved his mom. His mom said she loved him too. They went home and had some cookies. Ben still missed his boat and his tray, but he knew his mom would make him happy again.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big pile of bricks near the fence. They wanted to see what was behind the bricks.
+
+"Let's climb the bricks!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find something fun!"
+
+"OK!" Tom said. "But be careful. The bricks are hard and heavy."
+
+They ran to the bricks and started to climb. They put their feet and hands on the bricks and tried to go up. The bricks were not very stable. They wobbled and shook.
+
+Lily was almost at the top. She saw a big tree and some birds behind the fence. She smiled and called to Tom. "Look, Tom! I can see a tree and some birds! They are so pretty!"
+
+Tom was a few bricks below Lily. He heard her and looked up. He wanted to see the tree and the birds too. But he did not watch where he was going. He put his foot on a loose brick. The brick slipped and fell. Tom stumbled and lost his balance. He fell down with a loud thud. He hit his knee on the bricks and started to cry.
+
+Lily heard Tom's loud cry. She turned around and saw him on the ground. She was scared and worried. She quickly climbed down the bricks and ran to him. She hugged him and said. "Tom, are you OK? I'm sorry. I should have helped you."
+
+Tom felt Lily's hug and heard her sorry. He stopped crying and looked at her. He saw her kind eyes and her sweet smile. He felt better. He said. "It's OK, Lily. I'm OK. It was an accident. You are a good friend."
+
+They smiled at each other and got up. They decided to leave the bricks and play somewhere else. They held hands and walked away. They were happy. They were friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a brown teddy bear that she loved very much. Tom had a red car that he liked to zoom around. They were having fun until Tom saw Lily's teddy bear.
+
+"Can I play with your bear?" Tom asked Lily.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "You have your car."
+
+"But I want the bear!" Tom said. He tried to grab the bear from Lily, but she held on tight.
+
+"Let go!" Lily said. "You will spoil my bear!"
+
+They pulled and tugged on the bear, making it rip and tear. The stuffing came out and the bear's eyes fell off. Lily and Tom stopped and looked at the bear. It was ruined.
+
+They both felt sad and sorry. They wished they had not fought over the bear. They heard their mom coming into the room.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked. She saw the broken bear and the mess on the floor.
+
+"Lily and Tom spoiled the bear!" they both said.
+
+Mom shook her head. She was not happy. She picked up the bear and the eyes. She took them to the sewing room. She had a knob that she could use to fix the bear.
+
+"You two need to learn to share and be nice," Mom said. "You can't have everything you want. You have to take care of your toys."
+
+She left Lily and Tom in the living room. They felt bad. They said sorry to each other. They decided to play with the car together. They waited for Mom to come back with the bear. They hoped she could make it look like before. They promised to never spoil their toys again.
+Lily wanted to go outside and play. It was cold and windy, so she needed a coat. She had two coats in her closet. One was red and one was blue. She liked both coats, but she had to choose one.
+
+She looked at the red coat. It was warm and soft, but it was too big for her. It was her brother's coat. She tried it on, but it was too long and too loose. She could not see her hands or her feet. She did not like that.
+
+She looked at the blue coat. It was light and shiny, but it was too small for her. It was her baby sister's coat. She tried it on, but it was too short and too tight. She could not move her arms or her legs. She did not like that either.
+
+She was sad. She did not have a coat that fit her. She could not go outside and play. She started to cry.
+
+Then, she saw another coat on the hook. It was pink and purple, with flowers and stars. It was her coat. She had forgotten about it. She smiled. She put it on, and it fit her just right. It was not too big or too small. It was warm and pretty. She liked it a lot.
+
+She ran to the door, ready to go outside and play. She was happy. She had chosen her coat.
+Tim and Kim were two mice who lived in a cell. A cell is a small room with bars and a lock. They did not like the cell. They wanted to go outside and play with other mice. But the big man who kept them in the cell was mean. He only gave them a little food and water. He sometimes took them out of the cell and did bad things to them.
+
+One day, Tim had a clever idea. He saw a shiny thing on the floor. It was a key. The key could open the lock of the cell. Tim whispered to Kim, "Look, a key! We can escape!" Kim nodded and smiled. They waited until the big man was not looking. Then Tim ran to the key and grabbed it with his teeth. He ran back to the cell and put the key in the lock. He turned it and heard a click. The cell was open!
+
+Tim and Kim quickly ran out of the cell. They looked for a way to get outside. They saw a window with a small hole. They ran to the window and squeezed through the hole. They felt the sun and the wind on their fur. They saw trees and flowers and birds. They were free!
+
+They ran and jumped and played. They found other mice who were friendly and happy. They shared their food and water and stories. They thanked Tim for his clever idea. They never wanted to go back to the cell. They were happy.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to mix and stir and pour. One day, mom said they would make a cake. Lily was happy. She loved cake.
+
+Mom gave Lily a bowl and a spoon. She said, "We need some eggs for the cake. Can you crack them and put them in the bowl?" Lily nodded. She took an egg from the carton. It was white and smooth and lovely. She tapped it on the edge of the bowl. It made a crack sound. She pulled the egg apart. Something yellow and runny came out. Lily was surprised. She said, "Mom, the egg changed!"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, the egg changed. That's what happens when you crack it. The yellow part is called the yolk. We need it for the cake. Can you crack another egg?" Lily nodded. She cracked another egg. It changed too. She saw the yellow yolk and the white part. She said, "Mom, can I stir them?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can stir them. But be careful, don't spill them." Lily stirred the eggs with her spoon. She liked to see them swirl and blend. She said, "Mom, the eggs changed again! They are not yellow and white anymore. They are yellow and white together!"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, the eggs changed again. That's what happens when you stir them. They become smooth and creamy. We need them for the cake. Can you pour them into this big bowl?" Lily nodded. She poured the eggs into the big bowl. She saw mom add some flour and sugar and butter and milk. She said, "Mom, can I help you mix them?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can help me mix them. But be gentle, don't make a mess." Lily helped mom mix the ingredients with a big spoon. She liked to see them change into a thick and sweet batter. She said, "Mom, the cake changed too! It is not flour and sugar and butter and milk and eggs anymore. It is cake!"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, the cake changed too. That's what happens when you mix them. They become a batter. We need to bake it in the oven. Can you help me put it in this pan?" Lily nodded. She helped mom put the batter in the pan. She saw mom put the pan in the oven. She said, "Mom, will the cake change again?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, the cake will change again. That's what happens when you bake it. It will become fluffy and golden and yummy. We have to wait for a while. Can you help me clean up the kitchen?" Lily nodded. She helped mom clean up the kitchen. She was proud of herself. She said, "Mom, I like to help you make cake. I like to see things change. Change is fun!"
+
+Mom hugged Lily. She said, "I like to make cake with you too. You are a good helper. And you are right, change is fun. Change is how we learn and grow and create. Change is lovely!"
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. Sara wanted to go first, but Ben said no. He said he was older by two minutes, so he should go first. Sara was angry and said that was not fair. They started to fight and push each other.
+
+A nice lady who was sitting on a bench saw them and came over. She had a charming smile and a kind voice. She said, "Hello, children. Why are you fighting? Don't you know that sharing is caring?" She suggested that they take turns on the slide, and that they could count to ten while the other one slid down. She said that way, they would both have fun and be happy.
+
+Sara and Ben thought that was a good idea. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They thanked the nice lady and ran to the slide. Sara let Ben go first, and counted to ten. Then Ben let Sara go, and counted to ten. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Ben slid down too fast and hit his toe on the ground. He cried out in pain and held his toe. Sara saw him and felt sorry. She ran to him and said, "Are you okay, Ben? Does it hurt a lot?" She gave him a kiss on his toe and said, "I hope you feel better soon." Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good sister. I love you." They hugged and said they loved each other.
+
+The nice lady saw them and smiled. She was happy that they learned to share and care. She said, "You see, children, when you are kind and generous, you make others happy and yourself happy too. And when you are happy, you can handle any problem that comes your way. That is the moral of the story." Sara and Ben nodded and said, "We understand. Thank you, nice lady. You are very wise." They waved goodbye and went home with their mom, who was waiting for them. They told her what happened and what they learned. She was proud of them and gave them a big hug. They lived happily ever after.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings. They swing high and low. They feel happy.
+
+One day, Lily has news for Ben. She runs to the park. She sees Ben on the swing. She calls his name.
+
+"Ben, Ben, I have news for you!"
+
+Ben stops swinging. He jumps off the swing. He runs to Lily.
+
+"What is your news, Lily?"
+
+Lily smiles. She points to her feet. She has new shoes. They are brown. They have laces.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have new shoes! They are brown. They have laces. I can tie them by myself!"
+
+Ben looks at Lily's shoes. He likes them. He claps his hands.
+
+"Wow, Lily, your shoes are nice! They are brown. They have laces. You can tie them by yourself!"
+
+Lily and Ben hug. They are happy. They go back to the swings. They swing high and low. They feel happy.
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big box with a lock on it. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Maybe there are toys or candy in the box," Tom said.
+
+"Or maybe there is a monster or a trap," Mia said.
+
+They decided to try to unlock the box. They looked for a key, but they could not find one. They tried to break the lock, but it was too hard. They tried to lift the box, but it was too heavy.
+
+"This box is no fun. It is too big and too heavy and too locked," Tom said.
+
+He was troubled and wanted to give up. But Mia had an idea.
+
+"Look, there is a hole in the box. Maybe we can peek inside," she said.
+
+She put her eye to the hole and tried to see. But it was too dark. She could not see anything.
+
+"Maybe we can hear something," she said.
+
+She put her ear to the hole and tried to listen. But it was too quiet. She could not hear anything.
+
+"Maybe we can smell something," she said.
+
+She put her nose to the hole and tried to smell. But it was too stinky. She could not stand it.
+
+"Yuck, this box is no good. It is too dark and too quiet and too stinky," she said.
+
+She was troubled and wanted to go away. But Tom had an idea.
+
+"Look, there is a note on the box. Maybe we can read it," he said.
+
+He picked up the note and tried to read. But it was too hard. He could not read it.
+
+"Maybe we can ask someone to help us," he said.
+
+He looked around and saw a man walking by. He waved to him and asked him to come.
+
+"Excuse me, sir, can you please read this note for us?" he said.
+
+The man smiled and took the note. He read it out loud.
+
+"Dear Tom and Mia, this box is a surprise for you. To unlock it, you need to say the magic word. The magic word is 'please'. Love, Mom and Dad."
+
+Tom and Mia were surprised and happy. They looked at each other and said the magic word.
+
+"Please!"
+
+The lock clicked and the box opened. Inside, there were toys and candy and a card.
+
+"Happy birthday, Tom and Mia! We hope you enjoy your gifts. You are our twins and our treasures. We are proud of you and we love you. Mom and Dad."
+
+Tom and Mia hugged each other and thanked their parents. They played with their toys and ate their candy. They forgot about the weight and the trouble of the box. They only felt the joy and the love of the surprise.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They had a ball and a net. They wanted to catch some bugs. They saw a fat bee on a flower. Ben ran to catch it with the net.
+
+"Got it!" he shouted. He lifted the net and looked inside. The bee was angry. It buzzed and stung Ben on the nose. Ben dropped the net and cried.
+
+Lily ran to help Ben. She saw the net on the ground. She picked it up and saw the bee. She liked the bee. It was yellow and black and fuzzy.
+
+"Mine!" she said. She hugged the net and smiled. The bee was angry. It buzzed and stung Lily on the cheek. Lily dropped the net and cried.
+
+The bee flew away. It was free. Ben and Lily were sad. They had red spots on their faces. They went home with their mom. She put ice on their spots and gave them a hug. She said they should not catch bees. Bees are not for playing. Bees can hurt. Ben and Lily learned a lesson. They said they were sorry. They hoped the bee was okay.
+Lily likes to cook with her mom. They make soup and cake and bread. Lily helps to stir and pour and taste. She is a good helper.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom enter a cook contest. They want to win a big prize. They make a yummy cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. Lily puts the sprinkles on top. She is very happy.
+
+But there is a bad man in the contest. He wants to win too. He does not like Lily and her mom. He sneaks to their table and knocks over their cake. It falls on the floor and breaks. Lily and her mom are very sad.
+
+The judges come to see the cakes. They see the bad man's cake. It looks nice, but it tastes bad. They spit it out. They see Lily and her mom's cake. It looks bad, but it smells good. They try a piece. It tastes very good. They smile and clap.
+
+Lily and her mom win the contest. They get a big prize. They are very happy. The bad man is very mad. He runs away. Lily and her mom hug and share their cake. They are a good team.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then they saw a big jar of cookies on the table. They both wanted some cookies, but they knew they had to ask Mom first.
+
+"Let's go ask Mom if we can have some cookies," Lily said.
+
+"OK," Tom agreed.
+
+They ran to the kitchen, where Mom was busy making dinner. They asked her very nicely if they could have some cookies.
+
+"Sorry, sweeties, but you have to wait until after dinner. The cookies are for dessert. You can have one each then, OK?" Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom," Lily and Tom said. They gave Mom a hug and went back to the living room.
+
+But when they got there, they saw that the jar of cookies was open. And there were some crumbs on the floor. And there was Ben, their big brother, with a cookie in his hand and a guilty look on his face.
+
+"Ben, did you take some cookies?" Lily asked.
+
+"Uh, no, I didn't," Ben lied. He hid the cookie behind his back.
+
+"Yes, you did. We saw you. Mom said we have to wait until after dinner. You are bad," Tom said.
+
+"No, I'm not. You are. You are tattletales. Go away," Ben said. He tried to push them away.
+
+Lily and Tom were angry and sad. They ran to Mom and told her what Ben did. Mom was not happy. She went to the living room and saw the evidence. She scolded Ben and took away his cookie. She told him he had to remain in his room until dinner. And he could not have any dessert.
+
+Ben felt ashamed. He knew he did wrong. He wished he had listened to Mom and shared with his sister and brother. He said he was sorry and went to his room. He hoped Mom and his siblings would forgive him. He learned a lesson about being honest and kind. He decided to be a better brother from now on. He hoped they would still love him. He loved them very much. He knew they were his true family.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play outside, but they do not like to wake up early. One day, their mom says they have to wake up early to see the sunrise. She says it is very pretty and they will like it.
+
+Tom and Mia do not want to wake up early. They say they are sleepy and they want to stay in bed. They say the sunrise is not pretty and they do not like it. They insist they do not want to go. Their mom says they have to go. She says it is a special day and they will have fun.
+
+Tom and Mia are very grumpy. They put on their clothes and shoes and follow their mom outside. They do not say anything. They do not smile. They do not look at the sky. They think it is too cold and too dark and too boring.
+
+Their mom takes them to a hill. She says they have to wait a little bit. She says they will see something amazing. Tom and Mia do not believe her. They think it is a terrible idea. They cross their arms and pout.
+
+Then, something happens. The sky starts to change. It becomes pink and orange and yellow and purple. It looks like a big painting. Tom and Mia see the sun peeking over the horizon. It is bright and warm and beautiful. Tom and Mia are surprised. They open their eyes and mouths. They point and gasp. They say wow and ooh and aah. They think it is the most pretty thing they have ever seen.
+
+Their mom smiles and hugs them. She says she is glad they came. She says they can see the sunrise again another day. Tom and Mia nod and hug her back. They say they are sorry they were grumpy. They say they love the sunrise and they love her. They think it is a special day and they have fun.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a cricket on a leaf. It was green and shiny.
+
+"Look, a cricket!" Lila said. "I want to catch it!"
+
+She ran to the leaf and tried to grab the cricket. But the cricket was fast and jumped away.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lila said. "You are too bossy! Let me catch it!"
+
+Ben shook his head. He did not like when Lila was bossy. He wanted to play nice.
+
+"No, Lila. You have to be gentle with the cricket. It is scared of you. You have to wait and watch."
+
+He pointed to the cricket. It was hiding under a flower. It made a chirping sound.
+
+"See, it is singing. It is happy here. We can listen to it and learn about it. Maybe it will come out if we are quiet and kind."
+
+Lila frowned. She did not want to wait and watch. She wanted to catch the cricket and hold it. She thought it was fun.
+
+But she saw that Ben was happy. He smiled and nodded at the cricket. He looked like he was having fun too.
+
+Lila sighed. She decided to try Ben's way. She sat down next to him and turned her head to the flower. She was quiet and kind.
+
+She heard the cricket sing. She saw it peek out of the flower. It looked at them with its big eyes. It seemed curious.
+
+Lila smiled. She felt happy too. She whispered to Ben.
+
+"Maybe you are right, Ben. Maybe this is better than catching the cricket. Maybe we can be friends with the cricket."
+
+Ben whispered back.
+
+"Maybe we can, Lila. Maybe we can."
+Anna and Ben wanted to go on the big wheel. They had a ticket each from their mom. They ran to the line and waited for their turn. They were very happy and excited.
+
+When they got to the front, they gave their tickets to the man. He smiled and let them in. They climbed into a big basket with seats. They buckled their belts and held hands. The big wheel started to move. They went up and up and up.
+
+Anna and Ben looked around. They saw the park, the trees, the cars, the people. They saw the sky, the clouds, the sun, the birds. They saw everything. They said wow and ooh and aah. They laughed and waved.
+
+But then, Anna felt something in her hand. It was her ticket. She had not given it to the man. She had kept it by mistake. She felt bad. She wanted to give it back. She leaned over the edge of the basket. She tried to throw the ticket down to the man.
+
+But she dropped it. The ticket flew away in the wind. Anna gasped. She was scared. She thought the man would be angry. She thought the big wheel would stop. She thought she would get in trouble. She cried.
+
+Ben saw Anna cry. He hugged her. He said it was okay. He said the man would not mind. He said the big wheel would not stop. He said they would not get in trouble. He said they had fun. He said they should be happy.
+
+Anna looked at Ben. He was right. She wiped her tears. She smiled. She said sorry. She said thank you. She said she had fun. She said she was happy.
+
+The big wheel came down. They got out of the basket. They saw their mom. She was waiting for them. She asked them how they liked the big wheel. They said they loved it. They said it was amazing. They said they saw everything.
+
+They gave their mom a hug. They said they were tired. They said they wanted to go home. They said they had a great day. They said they loved her. She said she loved them too. She said they were good kids. She said she was proud of them.
+
+They walked to the car. They held hands. They yawned. They fell asleep. They dreamed of the big wheel. They dreamed of the ticket. They dreamed of each other. They were happy.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play cops and robbers. They had a toy pistol that made a loud noise when they pulled the trigger. They took turns being the cop and the robber, and chased each other around the house.
+
+One day, they decided to play outside in the yard. They gathered some sticks and stones to use as props. Tom was the cop and Sam was the robber. Tom hid behind a tree and waited for Sam to come by. He saw Sam walking with a stick in his hand, pretending it was a bag of money.
+
+"Stop, robber! I have a pistol and I will shoot!" Tom shouted, and pointed the toy pistol at Sam.
+
+Sam stopped and dropped the stick. He raised his hands and said, "Don't shoot, cop! I give up!"
+
+Tom ran towards Sam and grabbed the stick. He said, "You are under arrest! You have to go to jail!"
+
+Sam nodded and followed Tom to the porch, where they had a cardboard box that was their jail. Tom put Sam inside the box and closed the flap. He said, "You have to stay here until I say so. You are a bad robber!"
+
+Sam felt guilty. He knew he was only playing, but he didn't like being in the box. He said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I won't be a robber anymore. Can I come out now?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He felt sorry for Sam too. He said, "OK, Sam. You can come out. But you have to be the cop next time. And you have to let me be the robber."
+
+Sam agreed and came out of the box. He hugged Tom and said, "You are a good brother. I like playing with you."
+
+Tom hugged Sam back and said, "You are a good brother too. I like playing with you too."
+
+They smiled and went back to their game, but this time they switched roles. They had fun playing cops and robbers with their toy pistol and their sticks and stones.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a huge beetle on a leaf. It was black and shiny and had big horns.
+
+"Wow, look at that beetle!" Lily said. "It is so big and strong!"
+
+"Can we touch it?" Ben asked. He wanted to see how the beetle felt.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it will bite us or fly away."
+
+They leaned closer to the beetle. They were very quiet and careful. They wanted to see the beetle better.
+
+The beetle did not move. It was still on the leaf. It looked at Lily and Ben with its small eyes.
+
+"Hello, beetle," Lily said softly. "We are Lily and Ben. We are your friends."
+
+The beetle made a noise. It sounded like a click. It moved its horns a little.
+
+"Hello, Lily and Ben," the beetle said. "I am Bert. I am a beetle. I am your friend too."
+
+Lily and Ben were surprised. They did not know that beetles could talk.
+
+"Wow, you can talk!" Ben said. "That is so cool!"
+
+"Yes, I can talk," Bert said. "But only to nice children like you. You are very kind and gentle. You did not hurt me or scare me."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy to meet Bert. They asked him many questions. They learned about his life and his family. They told him about their life and their family. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They played with Bert for a long time. They showed him their toys and their books. They gave him some water and some crumbs. They made him a little house out of a box and some grass.
+
+Bert liked Lily and Ben very much. He thanked them for their friendship and their gifts. He said he had to go back to his leaf. He said he would come back another day.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged Bert goodbye. They watched him fly away. They waved to him.
+
+"Bye, Bert!" they said. "See you soon!"
+
+"Bye, Lily and Ben!" Bert said. "See you soon!"
+
+They went back to their house. They told their mom and dad about Bert. They said he was a huge beetle and he could talk. They said he was their friend.
+
+Their mom and dad smiled. They did not believe them. They thought they made up a story. They said they had a good imagination.
+
+Lily and Ben did not mind. They knew the truth. They knew Bert was real. They knew he was their friend. They looked forward to seeing him again. They were very happy.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with ropes. They made knots and swings and traps with the ropes. One day, they found a big rope in the garage. It was very long and thick. They wanted to make a big swing with it.
+
+They tied one end of the rope to a tree and the other end to a hook on the wall. They made a loop in the middle of the rope for a seat. They took turns to swing on the rope. It was fun and fast. They laughed and shouted.
+
+Lily was their sister who liked to watch them play. She was nosy and wanted to try everything. She saw them swinging on the rope and wanted to join them. She waited for them to stop and relax. Then she ran to the rope and tried to sit on the loop.
+
+But the loop was too big for her. She slipped through the loop and the rope got tight around her neck. She could not breathe or scream. She kicked and struggled. Ben and Sam saw her and got scared. They tried to untie the rope, but it was too hard. The knot was too tight. They could not help her. Lily stopped moving. She was gone.
+Lily and Max were playing on the porch with their toys. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars and planes and animals. But sometimes they got mad at each other and took each other's toys.
+
+"Give me back my car!" Max shouted. He tried to grab the red car from Lily's hand.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She held the car tight and pushed Max away.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She came out of the house and saw them fighting. "Why are you not sharing? You have to be nice to each other."
+
+"But she took my car!" Max said.
+
+"But he took my plane!" Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed. She took the car and the plane and put them on the table. "You can't play with them until you say sorry and talk nicely. Go sit on the porch and think about what you did."
+
+Lily and Max pouted. They went to sit on the porch, but they did not look at each other or talk. They were still angry and sad.
+
+After a while, Lily felt bored. She missed playing with Max. She looked at him and saw that he was bored too. She remembered that they were friends and that they had fun together. She felt sorry for taking his car.
+
+"Max?" she said softly.
+
+Max looked at her. He saw that she was sorry. He remembered that they were friends and that he liked her. He felt sorry for taking her plane.
+
+"Lily?" he said softly.
+
+They smiled at each other. They got up and hugged.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. You can have the car," Max said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Max. You can have the plane," Lily said.
+
+They took their toys and started to play again. They made noises and pretended they were cars and planes and animals. They shared and laughed and had fun.
+
+Mom watched them from the window. She was happy to see them getting along. She came out of the house and gave them a kiss.
+
+"I'm proud of you, Lily and Max. You learned to say sorry and talk nicely. That's what good friends do," she said.
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They hugged Mom and thanked her. They continued to play on the porch, happy and friendly.
+Ben and Lily were playing on the farm. They liked to see the animals and feed them. They saw a big pig in a pen. The pig was hungry. He wanted some food.
+
+"Hello, pig," Ben said. "Do you want some corn?"
+
+The pig nodded and grunted. He looked at Ben and Lily with his big eyes.
+
+Ben and Lily had a bucket of corn. They tried to give some to the pig. But the pig was too big and the pen was too high. They could not reach the pig.
+
+"Oh no," Lily said. "How can we feed the pig?"
+
+Ben had an idea. He saw a stool near the barn. He ran to get it. He brought it to the pen. He put it on the ground. He climbed on the stool. He was taller now.
+
+"Look, Lily," Ben said. "I can manage to feed the pig now."
+
+He held out some corn to the pig. The pig was happy. He ate the corn from Ben's hand. He made a loud noise.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," the pig said.
+
+"You're welcome, pig," Ben said. "You're a good pig."
+
+Lily smiled. She climbed on the stool too. She gave some corn to the pig. The pig ate more corn. He was full now.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," the pig said.
+
+"You're welcome, pig," Lily said. "You're a nice pig."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged the pig. The pig hugged them back. They were friends. They played with the pig until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the pig. The pig said goodbye to them. They waved to each other. They had fun on the farm.
+Tom and Lily wanted to build a castle with their blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to make towers and walls and doors. They also had a box of shiny things that they called treasure. They liked to put the treasure inside their castle and pretend they were kings and queens.
+
+But one day, they had a problem. They did not have enough blocks to finish their castle. They needed more blocks to make the roof and the windows. They looked around the room and saw that their brother Sam had some blocks too. He was not using them. He was playing with his cars and trucks.
+
+"Can we have some of your blocks, Sam?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, they are mine. Go away," Sam said.
+
+"But we need them to build our castle. It will be very pretty and big. You can play with us and see our treasure," Lily said.
+
+"I don't care. I don't like castles. I like cars and trucks. They are more useful. They can go fast and make noise. Your treasure is just junk. Leave me alone," Sam said.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They did not like Sam. He was mean and selfish. They wanted to build their castle and have fun. They did not know what to do. They thought of a plan.
+
+They waited until Sam was busy with his cars and trucks. Then they sneaked behind him and grabbed some of his blocks. They ran back to their castle and added them to their roof and windows. They were happy. They had finished their castle. It was very pretty and big. They put their treasure inside and smiled.
+
+"Look at our castle, Sam. It is better than your cars and trucks. It has treasure and it is ours. You can't have any," Tom said.
+
+"What? You took my blocks? That's not fair. Give them back. They are mine. You are bad," Sam said.
+
+He got up and ran to their castle. He tried to take his blocks back. But Tom and Lily did not let him. They pushed him away. They fought over the blocks. They yelled and cried. They made a big mess. Their castle fell down. Their treasure spilled out. Their blocks scattered everywhere.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw the mess and the fight. She was not happy. She scolded them and made them stop. She told them to share and be nice. She told them to clean up and say sorry. She told them to play together and have fun.
+
+Tom and Lily and Sam felt sorry. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up. They decided to play together and have fun. They picked up their blocks and their treasure. They agreed to build something new. They built a big city with castles and cars and trucks. They put their treasure in different places. They pretended they were friends and explorers. They had fun. They learned to share and be nice. They were happy.

+
+One day, Anna and Ben go to the park with the ball. They want to roll the ball down the hill. They take turns to throw the ball and watch it roll. The ball rolls fast and far. Sometimes it bounces over rocks and sticks. Anna and Ben laugh and clap.
+
+"Look, the ball is rolling to the pond!" Ben says.
+
+"Oh no, the pond has water and ducks!" Anna says.
+
+They run after the ball. They hope the ball does not go into the water. They do not want the ball to get wet and dirty. They do not want the ducks to peck the ball.
+
+They reach the pond. The ball is on the edge of the water. It is about to fall in. Anna and Ben stretch their arms. They try to grab the ball. They are flexible. They can bend and reach.
+
+They catch the ball. They are happy. They hug the ball. They hug each other.
+
+"Yay, we saved the ball!" Anna says.

+
+One day, Jen has to go to school and Tim is sad. He wants to hear more stories from the dictionary. He looks for the big book in Jen's room, but he cannot find it. He thinks Jen has hidden it somewhere. He searches under the bed, in the closet, and in the drawers. He makes a big mess, but he does not care. He only wants the dictionary.
+
+He finally sees the big book on a high shelf. He is happy and tries to reach it. He climbs on a chair, then on a table, then on a stack of boxes. He stretches his hand and grabs the dictionary. But the boxes are not stable and they fall down. Tim falls down too, with the dictionary on top of him. He feels a lot of pain and he cries. He hears his mom running to him and shouting his name.

+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to create things. They used paper, crayons, glue and scissors to make pictures, cards and toys. One day, they decided to create something new with their mom's toaster. They wanted to see what would happen if they put ice in it.
+
+They waited until their mom was busy in the garden and then they sneaked into the kitchen. They took some ice cubes from the freezer and put them in the toaster slots. Then they pushed the lever down and waited.
+
+"Look, the ice is melting!" Tim said.
+
+"Maybe it will turn into toast!" Sam said.
+
+They heard a sizzling sound and then a loud pop. Sparks flew out of the toaster and smoke filled the air. The toaster was broken and the ice was gone.
+
+"Uh-oh, we're in trouble!" Tim said.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and ran into the kitchen. She saw the mess and the boys' scared faces.
+
+"What did you do?" she asked.
+
+"We tried to create toast with ice," Sam said.
+
+"That was very silly and dangerous!" she said. "You could have started a fire or hurt yourselves. You should never play with the toaster or any other appliances. They are not toys. They are for grown-ups to use carefully."
+
+She was very angry and disappointed. She made the boys clean up the kitchen and then sent them to their room without any lunch. They felt hungry and sorry.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not play with things that are not meant for you. You could cause damage or get hurt. Listen to your mom and follow the rules.
+Lily and Max were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But they did not like to share. Lily wanted the red blocks and Max wanted the blue blocks. They both grabbed the same block and pulled hard.
+
+"Mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, mine!" Max shouted.
+
+They pulled and pulled until the block broke in two. They both fell back and cried. They looked at their broken block and felt sad.
+
+A figure came into the room. It was Mom. She saw the broken block and the crying children. She sighed. She was not happy.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Lily and Max broke the block!" they both said at the same time.
+
+Mom picked up the pieces of the block and looked at them. She shook her head.
+
+"You know, blocks are for building, not for breaking. And they are for sharing, not for fighting. You both need to say sorry and play nicely. Or else, no more blocks for today." Mom said.
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They did not want to lose their blocks. They also did not want to make Mom angry. They felt sorry for breaking the block and for fighting.
+
+"Sorry, Lily." Max said.
+
+"Sorry, Max." Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and smiled. Mom smiled too. She gave them a new block. It was yellow. It was wide and big. They both liked it.

+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toy guns. They had a red gun and a blue gun, and they pretended to be cowboys and robbers. One day, they found a real gun in their dad's closet. It was black and shiny, and it looked like the toy guns, but bigger and heavier.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said, picking up the real gun. "It's like our guns, but better!"
+
+"Let me see!" Sam said, reaching for the gun. "I want to play with it too!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Tom said, pulling the gun away. "You have the blue gun, I have this one!"
+
+Tom and Sam started to fight over the gun. They did not know that the gun was loaded and dangerous. They were ignorant of how guns work. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They only cared about the gun.
+
+"Give it to me!" Sam shouted, grabbing the gun.
+
+"Let go!" Tom yelled, pushing Sam.
+
+The gun went off with a loud bang. It shot a bullet that hit the wall. The wall had a big hole and a lot of dust. Tom and Sam were scared and dropped the gun. They looked at each other with wide eyes.
+
+"What was that?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know!" Sam said.
+
+They heard their mom running up the stairs. She saw the gun, the hole, and the dust. She was angry and scared. She took the gun and put it away. She hugged Tom and Sam and told them to never touch the gun again. She told them that guns are not toys, and that they could have hurt themselves or someone else. She told them that they were ignorant and foolish.
+
+Tom and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry and that they did not know. They learned a lesson that day. They never played with the gun again. They only played with their toy guns, the red one and the blue one. They were more careful and respectful. They were not ignorant anymore.
+Lily and Mom went to the store. Lily saw a pretty dress. It was pink and had flowers on it. Lily wanted the dress very much.
+
+"Mom, can I have the dress?" Lily asked.

+
+Lily was sad. She did not want to return the dress. She wanted to wear it and be graceful like a princess. She held the dress tight and said, "No, Mom, I want the dress. Please, please, please!"
+
+Mom was firm. She said, "Lily, you have to listen to me. We have to return the dress. It is not ours. We have to be polite and respectful. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lily did not want to go. She cried and kicked and screamed. She made a big fuss. Mom was embarrassed. She tried to calm Lily down. She said, "Lily, stop it. You are making a scene. You are being naughty and rude. If you don't return the dress, we will have to leave the store and go home. Do you want that?"
+
+Lily did not want to go home. She wanted to stay at the store and look at other things. She wanted to be good and make Mom happy. She sniffed and wiped her tears. She said, "Sorry, Mom. I will return the dress. I will be good."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "Thank you, Lily. I love you. You are a good girl. Now, let's return the dress and then we can look at other things. Maybe we can find something else that you like and that we can afford."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She returned the dress to the rack. She was graceful and gentle. She said, "Bye, dress. Maybe I will see you again someday."
+
+Mom and Lily walked hand in hand. They looked at other things. They had fun at the store.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to balance on the big log that was near the slide. They pretended it was a bridge over a river full of crocodiles. Tim was very good at balancing, but Lily was not. She often fell off and had to start again.
+
+"Look at me, Lily!" Tim said. "I can balance with one foot and one hand. I'm a circus star!"
+
+Lily tried to copy him, but she lost her balance and tumbled to the ground. She scraped her knee and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she wailed. "It hurts!"
+
+Tim jumped off the log and ran to her. He felt sorry for her. He wanted to make her feel better.
+
+"Here, Lily," he said. "I have a band-aid in my backpack. And I have a snack too. Do you want some?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked snacks. Tim opened his backpack and took out a band-aid and a bag of chips. He put the band-aid on Lily's knee and gave her some chips.
+
+"Thank you, Tim," Lily said. "You're a good friend."
+
+They sat on the grass and ate the chips. They were spicy chips. Tim liked spicy food, but Lily did not. She did not know they were spicy until she put one in her mouth.
+
+"Yuck!" she spat. "These are spicy! They burn my tongue!"
+
+She looked at Tim. He was smiling. He had tricked her. He knew she did not like spicy food.
+
+"That's not nice, Tim!" she said. "You gave me spicy chips on purpose!"
+
+Tim laughed. He thought it was funny. He did not think Lily would mind.
+
+"It's just a joke, Lily," he said. "Don't be mad. It's fun to be spicy. You can be a tiger. Roar!"
+
+He roared and pretended to be a tiger. He chased Lily around the park. Lily was not amused. She was angry. She did not want to be a tiger. She did not want to be spicy. She wanted to be sweet.
+
+She ran away from Tim. She saw a lemonade stand nearby. She ran to it and bought a cup of lemonade. She drank it and felt better. It was cold and sweet. It cooled her tongue and made her happy.
+
+She saw Tim coming after her. He still wanted to play. He still wanted to be a tiger.
+
+"Come on, Lily," he said. "Let's play. Let's balance on the log again. I'll teach you how to be a circus star."
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to play with Tim. She did not want to balance on the log. She did not want to be a circus star.
+
+"No, thank you, Tim," she said. "I don't want to play with you. You're mean. You're spicy. I don't like spicy. I like sweet."
+
+She turned away from him and walked to the slide. She saw a girl there who had a pink dress and a lollipop. She smiled at her and asked her if she wanted to be friends. The girl nodded and gave her a lollipop. They went to the slide and had fun. They were sweet. They were happy.

+
+Lily said, "No, Ben. This is my car. You have your truck. Go play with your truck."
+
+Ben did not listen. He tried to grab Lily's car from her hands. Lily held on tight. She did not want to give up her car. They pulled and tugged and shouted.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the silver car. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, both of you. You need to share your toys and play nicely. Lily, let Ben have a turn with your car. Ben, let Lily have a turn with your truck. Then you can switch back."
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to share. They said, "No, Mom. This is my toy. I don't want to share."
+
+Mom said, "If you don't share, then I will take away both toys and put them in the closet. You will have nothing to play with. Is that what you want?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to lose their toys. They did not want to have nothing to play with. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We will share."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Good. Now, why don't you open the toy box and see what else you can play with together?"

+One day, a sailor wanted to fly like a bird. He saw a big balloon with a basket. He asked the man who owned the balloon if he could go inside. The man said yes, but he warned the sailor that flying was not easy. The sailor did not listen. He was too excited.
+
+He climbed into the basket and cut the rope. The balloon went up and up in the sky. The sailor felt happy. He saw the clouds and the sun and the sea. He waved at the birds. He thought he was the best flyer in the world.
+
+But soon, the wind became strong. The balloon started to shake and spin. The sailor felt scared. He wanted to go down. He shouted for help. But no one heard him. The birds flew away. The man who owned the balloon was too far. The sailor was alone.
+
+He tried to steer the balloon, but he did not know how. He pulled and pushed and twisted the knobs and levers. But nothing worked. The balloon went faster and faster. The sailor felt sick. He wished he had listened to the man.
+
+The balloon hit a mountain. It burst with a loud bang. The basket fell to the ground. The sailor was hurt. He cried and cried. He learned a hard lesson. Flying was not for him. He should have stayed on his boat. He should have been happy with what he had.

+
+Mom sees Tim and Kim. She asks them what is wrong. They tell her about the board and the piece. Mom says, "I'm sorry the piece broke. But you can still play with the board. You can share the pieces and make something new. Maybe you can make a car with a flower on it. Or a flower with wheels. Or something else. Be creative and kind."
+

+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big mountain far away. They wanted to go there and see what was on top.
+
+"Let's go to the mountain, Tom!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find some flowers or animals or rocks."
+
+"OK, Lily, but we have to be careful. The mountain is very high and steep. And we have to be back before dark. Mom and Dad will be worried if we are late." Tom said.
+
+They packed some snacks and water and started to walk. They crossed a field, a stream, and a forest. They saw many things on the way, but they did not stop. They wanted to reach the mountain.

+
+They looked around and saw a cave. They ran inside. The cave was dark and cold, but it was safe. They ate some snacks and drank some water. They hoped the storm would pass soon.
+
+Suddenly, they saw a bright flash. It was lightning. It struck the mountain. They heard a rumble. It was an avalanche. Rocks and snow started to fall from the mountain. They covered the entrance of the cave.
+
+"Tom, Lily, are you OK?" They heard a voice. It was their dad. He had followed their tracks and found them. He had a flashlight and a shovel. He dug them out of the cave.
+
+"Dad, we are OK, but we are scared. The lightning struck the mountain and made it fall." Lily said.
+
+"I know, Lily, but you are safe now. Come on, let's go home. Mom is waiting for us. And next time, don't go to the mountain without telling us. It can be dangerous." Dad said.
+

+
+Ben is sad. He wanted to slide with Lily. He tries to catch up with her. But the slide is wet. He slips and falls. He hurts his knee. He cries.

+
+One day, a mean boy named Max came to their yard. He saw their tent and wanted to play too. But he did not ask nicely. He said, "Move away, this is my tent now. You have too many toys, you are rich and greedy. I will take them all."
+
+Sara and Tom were scared and sad. They did not want to lose their tent and their toys. They said, "No, Max, this is our tent. We are not rich, we just like to share. You cannot take our things, that is not nice."
+
+Max did not listen. He pushed them away and went inside the tent. He grabbed their toys and threw them outside. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, this is fun. I will replace your toys with rocks and sticks. You will have nothing left."
+
+But Max did not know that Sara and Tom had a plan. They had seen a big hole in the sheet that Max did not see. They had put a bucket of water on top of the hole. They waited for the right moment.

+
+But the clown did not see a big truck coming from the other side. The truck was very fast and loud. It hit the clown's car and made a big crash. The clown's car flew in the air and landed on the ground. The clown was dead.
+
+Tom and Sue were hurt, but not dead. They saw a man come out of the truck. He was a policeman. He said, "Don't worry, kids. I'm here to help you. I saw the clown's car and knew he was a bad man. I chased him and stopped him. You are safe now."
+
+Tom and Sue hugged the policeman and thanked him. He took them to the hospital and called their parents. Their parents were very happy and relieved. They said, "We're so glad you're okay. We love you very much. Never go with strangers, even if they look like clowns. They can be very dangerous."

+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. They see a furry dog with a red ball. The dog is happy and barks.
+
+"Can we play with the dog?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"OK, but we have to ask the owner first," Ben says.
+
+They run to the dog and the owner. The owner is a nice lady with a hat. She smiles and says, "Hello, children. Do you want to play with Rex? He loves to fetch the ball."
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+The lady throws the ball and Rex runs after it. He is very fast and catches the ball in his mouth. He brings it back to the lady and drops it. Lily and Ben clap and laugh.
+
+"Can I throw the ball?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, you can," the lady says. She gives the ball to Ben. Ben throws the ball as far as he can. Rex speeds after it. He is faster than the wind.
+
+But then, Rex sees a gate. The gate is open and leads to the street. Rex is curious and runs to the gate. He forgets about the ball.
+
+"Rex, come back!" the lady shouts. "The street is dangerous!"
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They don't want Rex to get hurt. They run to the gate and call Rex. Rex hears them and stops. He turns around and sees them. He wags his tail and runs back to them. He is a good dog.
+
+The lady hugs Rex and thanks Lily and Ben. She says, "You are very brave and kind. You saved Rex from the street. He is lucky to have friends like you."

+Lily and Ben are happy. They pet Rex and say, "We love you, Rex. You are a furry and fun dog."
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a blue dress, and a smile. Lily always took Anna with her when she went to bed.
+
+One night, Lily heard a noise under her bed. She was scared. She hugged Anna and closed her eyes. She hoped the noise would go away. But it did not. It got louder and louder. Lily felt something touch her foot. She screamed.
+
+Lily's mom and dad ran into her room. They turned on the light and looked under the bed. They saw a big, furry, brown thing. It had a long tail, sharp teeth, and claws. It was a raccoon.
+
+The raccoon had come into the house through a hole in the wall. It had been looking for food and found Lily's room. It had smelled Anna and wanted to play with her. It had reached out its arm and grabbed Lily's foot.
+
+Lily's mom and dad chased the raccoon away. They fixed the hole in the wall. They gave Lily a hug and a kiss. They told her she was brave and that the raccoon was gone. They tucked her in with Anna and said good night.
+
+Lily felt better. She was not scared anymore. She cuddled with Anna and fell asleep. She dreamed of happy things. She did not hear the noise in the closet. The raccoon was persistent. It had found another way in. It wanted to play with Anna. It waited for the right time to appear.
+Tom likes to watch cartoons on TV. He likes the funny animals and the bright colors. He laughs when they do silly things. He has a favorite cartoon. It is about a cat and a mouse. The cat always tries to catch the mouse, but the mouse is very smart and escapes.
+
+One day, Tom is watching his favorite cartoon. He is very happy. He sees the cat hiding behind a door. He thinks the cat will jump on the mouse. But the mouse has a plan. The mouse puts a smelly cheese on the floor. The cheese is very old and has holes. The cat smells the cheese and comes out of the door. He wants to eat the cheese. He does not see the mouse.
+
+The mouse calls to the cat. He says, "Hello, cat. Do you like cheese?" The cat is surprised. He looks at the mouse. He says, "Yes, I like cheese. And I like you too. You are my lunch." He runs to the mouse. But the mouse is faster. He runs to the cheese and pushes it. The cheese rolls to the cat. The cat is hit by the cheese. He falls down. He is covered with smelly cheese. He says, "Yuck! This cheese is bad. It stinks. I do not like cheese anymore. And I do not like you either. You are a bad mouse."
+
+The mouse laughs. He says, "Bye, cat. See you next time." He runs away. He is safe. Tom laughs too. He thinks the mouse is very clever and the cat is very funny. He likes his favorite cartoon. He wants to watch more.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the yard. They had a big box of toys. They liked to make things with the toys. They had blocks, cars, dolls, and screws.
+
+Lily picked up a screw. She said, "Look, Tom, I have a screw. I can make a car with it."
+
+Tom said, "No, Lily, you can't. A screw is not for a car. A screw is for a rock."
+
+Lily said, "A rock? Why a rock?"
+
+Tom said, "Because a rock is hard and a screw is hard. They go together. Watch me."
+
+Tom took a rock and a screw. He tried to put the screw in the rock. He pushed and pushed. But the screw did not go in. The rock did not have a hole.
+
+Lily laughed. She said, "Tom, you are silly. A screw is not for a rock. A screw is for a doll."
+
+Tom said, "A doll? Why a doll?"
+
+Lily said, "Because a doll is soft and a screw is shiny. They go together. Watch me."
+
+Lily took a doll and a screw. She tried to put the screw on the doll's head. She said, "Look, Tom, I have a bald doll. She has a screw instead of hair."
+
+Tom laughed. He said, "Lily, you are silly. A screw is not for a bald doll. A screw is for a car."
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They both said, "A screw is not for a rock or a bald doll or a car. A screw is for nothing."
+
+They threw the screw away. They picked up other toys. They played with the blocks, the cars, and the dolls. They had fun. They forgot about the screw.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a bike. Lily can ride the bike very well. Ben wants to learn how to ride the bike too.
+
+One day, a fat cat comes to the park. The cat is mean and hungry. It sees the ball and the bike. It wants to take them away from Lily and Ben. The cat runs to the ball and bites it. The ball pops and makes a loud noise. Lily and Ben are sad and angry.
+
+They see the cat going to the bike. They want to stop the cat. They run to the bike. But the cat is faster. It jumps on the bike and tries to ride it. The cat does not know how to ride a bike. It wobbles and falls. The bike falls too.
+
+Lily and Ben reach the bike. They try to pick it up. But the cat is not done. It gets up and scratches them. It hurts them. They cry and scream. They want the cat to go away.
+
+A big dog hears them. The dog is nice and brave. It sees the cat and the bike. It barks and chases the cat. The cat is scared and runs away. The dog prevents the cat from hurting Lily and Ben more. The dog saves the bike.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy and grateful. They hug the dog and thank it. They check the bike. The bike is not broken. They can still ride it. They take turns to ride the bike. The dog watches them and wags its tail. They have fun in the park. They forget about the fat cat.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the forest. One day, they found a big crystal that shone like a rainbow. They wanted to touch it, but it was too high on a rock.
+
+"Let's jump and get it!" Ben said. He was brave and strong.
+
+"No, Ben, it's too high. We might fall and hurt ourselves." Sara said. She was wise and careful.
+
+Ben did not listen to Sara. He jumped and jumped, but he could not reach the crystal. He got tired and angry. He shouted at the crystal, "Come down, you silly crystal! I want you!"
+
+The crystal did not like Ben's shout. It made a loud noise and broke into many pieces. The pieces flew everywhere and some hit Ben. He cried and ran to Sara.
+
+Sara hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was silly and rude. I should have listened to you. You are wise and kind."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "It's okay, Ben. We can still play with the crystal pieces. They are pretty and shiny. Maybe we can make a necklace or a bracelet."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "That's a good idea, Sara. Let's do that. And next time, we will be more careful and respectful in the forest."
+
+They picked up some crystal pieces and went home, holding hands. They learned a lesson and had a new treasure.
+Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a house. Lily has a red block and Ben has a blue block. They put them together.

+
+Ben nods. He likes purple. He wants to make more symbols. He sees a yellow block and a green block. He puts them together.

+She stops. She does not know what gray means. She feels the block. It is rough. She does not like rough. She wants smooth.
+
+"Gray is a symbol for rough!" Ben says. "Rough is a thing that hurts your hand. I do not like rough. I want smooth!"
+
+Lily agrees. She does not like rough. She wants smooth. She takes the block and throws it away.
+
+"Bye-bye, rough symbol!" she says. "We do not want you!"
+
+She and Ben hug. They are happy. They have fun symbols. They have smooth blocks. They have each other.
+Anna liked to design furniture with her blocks. She had many blocks of different colors and shapes. She could make chairs, tables, beds and sofas. She liked to pretend that she had a big house with many rooms and furniture.
+
+One day, her mom asked her to help with the laundry. Anna did not want to stop playing. She said, "Mom, I am busy. I am designing furniture for my house. Can I help later?"
+
+Mom said, "No, Anna, you have to help now. You have to be obedient and do what I ask. You can play with your blocks later. Come on, let's go to the laundry room."
+
+Anna was sad and angry. She did not want to leave her blocks. She thought, "Mom does not understand. I am a furniture designer. I have to finish my work."
+
+She decided to hide some of her blocks under her pillow. She thought, "I will play with them later, when mom is not looking."
+
+She followed mom to the laundry room. She helped mom to put the clothes in the washer and the dryer. She folded the towels and the socks. She was obedient, but she was not happy.
+
+When they finished, mom said, "Thank you, Anna, for helping me. You are a good helper. Now you can go back to your room and play with your blocks."
+
+Anna ran to her room. She was excited to play with her blocks again. She lifted her pillow and looked for her blocks. But they were not there. She looked around her room. She could not find them. She was confused and scared.
+
+She heard a noise from the living room. She went there and saw her little brother, Ben. He was playing with her blocks. He had made a big mess. He had mixed her blocks with his toys. He had broken some of her furniture. He was laughing and clapping.
+
+Anna was furious. She shouted, "Ben, what are you doing? Those are my blocks. You took them from my room. You ruined my furniture. Give them back to me. Now!"
+
+Ben looked at her and said, "No, Anna, these are my blocks. I found them under your pillow. They are fun. I like them. I am designing furniture for my house. Go away!"
+
+Anna and Ben started to fight. They pulled and pushed each other. They threw blocks and toys at each other. They cried and screamed.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the fight. She was shocked and angry. She said, "Anna, Ben, stop it. What are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why are you making such a mess? You are not obedient. You are naughty. You have to share your toys. You have to clean up your mess. You have to say sorry to each other. Now!"
+

+
+"Stop it, you two!" their mom says. She comes into the room and sees the computer. She is angry and sad. "You broke the computer! It is old and fragile. You should not pull it like that. Now it does not work anymore."
+
+Tom and Lily feel sorry. They did not mean to break the computer. They hug their mom and say they are sorry.
+
+"It is okay, my loves. I know you did not do it on purpose. But you have to be careful with old things. They are not as strong as new things. And you have to share and take turns. Maybe we can fix the computer later, or get a new one. But for now, why don't you play with something else?" their mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They say thank you to their mom and go to play with something else. They decide to play with the blocks and make a castle. They share and take turns, and they have fun. They do not pull anything anymore.
+Tom was hungry. He wanted a snack. He saw a big yellow banana on top of the refrigerator. He liked bananas. They were sweet and soft.
+
+He tried to reach the banana, but he was too small. He jumped and stretched, but he could not touch it. He looked around for a chair or a stool, but he did not see any.
+
+He saw his big brother Sam on the couch. Sam was watching TV. He was lazy. He did not want to help Tom.

+
+Sam did not look at Tom. He did not answer. He just kept watching TV. He did not care about Tom.

+Tom was sad and angry. He thought Sam was mean. He decided to find another way to get the banana. He saw a big pillow on the floor. He had an idea.
+
+He picked up the pillow and threw it at the refrigerator. The pillow hit the banana and made it fall. Tom ran and caught the banana. He was happy. He peeled it and ate it. It was yummy.
+
+He looked at Sam and smiled. He said, "Thank you, pillow. You are my friend. You helped me. You are not lazy like Sam."

+"Look, Tom, look! Fish!" Lily says. She points to the pond.
+
+"Yes, fish! I like fish. Can we feed them?" Tom asks.
+
+Lily nods. She has some bread in her bag. She breaks the bread into small pieces. She throws some to the pond. The fish come to eat the bread. They make bubbles and splash.
+
+"Wow, they are hungry!" Tom says. He throws some bread too. He laughs when he sees the fish.

+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But today, there is a problem. The swings are broken. One swing has no seat and the other swing has a big hole.
+
+"Look, Ben, the swings are broken. We can't play on them," Sara says.
+
+"That's not fair. I want to swing high and feel the motion in my tummy," Ben says. He is very sad and angry.
+
+He starts to complain to Sara. "Why are the swings broken? Who broke them? When will they fix them? I don't want to play anything else. I only want to swing."
+
+Sara tries to cheer him up. "Don't be so grumpy, Ben. There are other things we can play. Look, there is a green slide. It is shiny and smooth. We can slide down fast and have fun."
+
+She takes his hand and leads him to the slide. Ben follows her, but he is still not happy. He pouts and sighs.
+
+They climb up the ladder and sit on the slide. Sara goes first. She slides down with a big smile. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs and says, "Whee! That was fun. Come on, Ben, it's your turn."
+
+Ben looks at the slide. He sees Sara's smile. He thinks maybe the slide is not so bad. He decides to give it a try. He slides down after Sara. He feels the motion in his tummy. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughs and says, "Whee! That was fun. You were right, Sara. The slide is fun."
+

+Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Sam brought a new toy to Lily's house. It was a rocket. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise when Sam pushed a button.
+
+"Wow, your rocket is so cool!" Lily said. "Can I play with it too?"
+
+"Sure, you can play with it, but you have to be careful," Sam said. "This rocket is very rare. My dad gave it to me for my birthday. He said it was his when he was a little boy."
+
+Lily nodded. She took the rocket and held it gently. She pushed the button and smiled when it made a noise. She pretended to fly it around the room. She had a lot of fun with the rocket.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Lily tripped over a rug and fell down. The rocket flew out of her hand and hit the wall. It broke into pieces. Lily and Sam stared at the broken rocket. They felt very sad.
+

+
+Sam felt angry at first, but then he looked at Lily. He saw that she was crying and that she was sorry. He remembered that Lily was his best friend and that he cared about her too.
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Sam said. "It was an accident. I'm not mad at you. The rocket was just a toy. You are more important to me than a toy."
+
+Sam hugged Lily and Lily hugged him back. They felt better. They decided to play with other toys and draw pictures of rockets. They were still best friends.
+Lily wanted to wrap a box for her mom. She found some paper and tape and scissors. She cut the paper and put it around the box. She was happy with her gift.
+
+She went to show her brother Tom. Tom was playing with his cars. He did not look at Lily's box. He said, "Go away, I'm busy." Lily felt sad. She said, "But I made this for mom. It's a surprise. Don't you want to see it?" Tom said, "No, I don't care. It's a dumb box. Leave me alone." He was rude to Lily.
+
+Lily cried. She ran to her room. She put the box on her bed. She hoped mom would like it. She heard a knock on the door. It was Tom. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. Can I see your box?" Lily said, "No, you can't. You hurt my feelings. Go away." She was angry with Tom.
+
+Tom felt bad. He wanted to make up with Lily. He had an idea. He went to his room and got his favorite car. He thought Lily would like it. He went back to Lily's room. He opened the door. He saw the box on the bed. He thought it was for him. He grabbed the box and tore the paper. He saw a book inside. He said, "What is this? This is not a car. This is boring. I don't want this." He threw the box on the floor.
+
+Lily screamed. She said, "That was my gift for mom. You ruined it. You are so mean. I hate you." She pushed Tom out of the room. She slammed the door. She picked up the box and the book.

+
+Mom gave them some money and told them to pick one lollipop each. Tom and Anna looked at all the lollipops. There were many kinds and colors. They could not decide which one to get. They wanted them all.
+
+Tom saw a big lollipop that was red and white and looked like a candy cane. He thought it was very pretty and tasty. He urged Anna to get it too. He said, "Look, Anna, this lollipop is the best. It is big and red and white. It will last a long time. Let's get this one."
+
+Anna looked at the lollipop that Tom liked. She thought it was nice, but she saw another lollipop that she liked more. It was small and round and had many colors. It looked like a rainbow. She thought it was very pretty and tasty. She urged Tom to get it too. She said, "Look, Tom, this lollipop is the best. It is small and round and has many colors. It will make you happy. Let's get this one."
+
+Tom and Anna could not agree on which lollipop to get. They both wanted their own lollipop. They started to argue and shout. They said, "I want this one. No, I want this one. You get that one. No, you get that one."
+
+Mom heard them and came to the truck. She saw them fighting over the lollipops. She was not happy. She said, "Tom and Anna, stop it. You are being loud and rude. You can each get one lollipop, but you have to choose quickly. The truck will leave soon. And you have to share and be nice to each other. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They did not want to make Mom angry. They did not want to miss the truck. They looked at the lollipops again. They decided to get the ones they liked. Tom got the big red and white one. Anna got the small round one with many colors. They thanked Mom and the truck man. They went to a bench and sat down.
+
+They opened their lollipops and licked them. They were sweet and sticky and fun to lick. They smiled and said, "Mmm, this is good." They looked at each other's lollipops. They were curious and wanted to try them. They asked, "Can I have a lick of yours?" They said, "Sure, you can have a lick of mine." They swapped their lollipops and licked them. They were sweet and sticky and fun to lick. They smiled and said, "Mmm, this is good too."
+
+They gave back their lollipops and licked them some more. They were happy and quiet. They shared and were nice to each other. Mom saw them and smiled. She said, "That's better. I'm glad you are enjoying your lollipops. And I'm proud of you for being kind and polite. You are good kids." Tom and Anna hugged Mom and said, "We love you, Mom. And we love our lollipops."
+Sara and Tom were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig holes and bury things. They buried rocks, sticks, leaves and toys. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+"Look, I found a big bone!" Tom said, holding up a dirty white thing. "Maybe it was from a dog or a dinosaur!"
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Sara said. "Let's bury it in the closet. Mom won't find it there."
+
+They ran inside the house and opened the closet door. They saw a lot of clothes, shoes and boxes. They pushed them aside and made a hole in the floor. They put the bone in the hole and covered it with dirt.
+
+"Shh, don't tell anyone!" Tom said. "It's our secret."
+
+They closed the closet door and went back outside.
+
+But the bone was not from a dog or a dinosaur. It was from a person. A person who had been killed and hidden in the backyard by a bad man. The bad man had lived in the house before Sara and Tom and their mom. He had done many bad things and the police were looking for him.
+
+The bad man saw Sara and Tom bury the bone in the closet. He was angry and scared. He did not want anyone to find his secret. He grabbed a knife and sneaked into the house. He opened the closet door and saw the hole in the floor. He saw the bone sticking out of the dirt. He knew he had to get rid of it.
+
+He heard Sara and Tom coming back inside. He hid behind the clothes and waited. He was going to hurt them and bury them too. He was a very harsh man.
+Tim was a boy who liked to examine things. He liked to look at bugs, rocks, flowers and books. He wanted to learn about everything. One day, he saw his grandpa had a big mustache. He wondered what it felt like and how it grew. He asked his grandpa if he could examine his mustache.
+
+Grandpa smiled and said yes. He let Tim touch his mustache and feel the hairs. He told Tim that his mustache was part of his face and that he grew it when he was older.

+
+"OK, but we have to be careful not to make a mess," Lily said.
+
+They took a rake and started to move the leaves. But Ben was not careful. He raked the leaves too fast and too hard. He made the leaves fly everywhere. He also broke the rake in half.
+
+"Ben, you are too rough! Look what you did!" Lily said.
+
+"I don't care. It's just a rake. And the leaves are fun to throw," Ben said.

+
+"Can I see it, Tom?" Sam asked. "Can I hold it for a little bit?"
+
+Tom was proud and mean. He did not want to share his knife with Sam. He wanted to keep it for himself. He thought Sam was silly and weak.
+
+"No, you can't see it, Sam. It is mine. You are too small and dumb to hold it. You might cut yourself or break it. Go away, Sam. I don't want to play with you." Tom said, pushing Sam away.
+
+Sam was sad and angry. He did not like how Tom treated him. He thought Tom was rude and selfish. He wanted to make Tom sorry for what he said. He had an idea.
+
+"Fine, Tom. I don't want to play with you either. You are a bad friend. I will find someone else to play with. Someone who is nice and fun. Goodbye, Tom." Sam said, walking away.
+
+But Sam did not really walk away. He hid behind a tree and waited for Tom to look away. When Tom was not looking, Sam ran to him and grabbed his knife. He wanted to take it away from Tom and send it far, far away. He threw the knife as hard as he could, hoping it would land in the trash or the pond.
+
+But Sam did not throw the knife well. He did not know how to throw a knife. The knife flew in the air and landed on a bench. On the bench, there was a lady.

+
+Tom and Sam heard the scream and saw the lady. They were shocked and scared. They realized what they had done. They felt ashamed. They ran to the lady and tried to help her.
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Sam said, crying. "It was an accident. I did not mean to hurt you. I was mad at Tom. He was mean to me. He did not let me see his knife. I wanted to send it away. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
+
+"I'm sorry, too, I'm sorry, too, I'm sorry, too!" Tom said, crying. "It was my fault. I was rude to Sam. I did not share my knife with him. I was proud and selfish. I'm sorry, too, I'm sorry, too, I'm sorry, too!"
+
+The lady was kind and brave. She did not yell at Tom and Sam. She saw they were sorry and scared. She told them to calm down and get help. She told them to be careful and gentle with knives. She told them to be good friends and share their toys. She forgave them and hugged them.

+
+Ned felt a little sad and stopped to marvel at the dead fish. He thought to himself "Now, why would this fish die?". Just then he heard a voice.
+
+He looked up and a friendly octopus was there. The octopus said "You know why that fish is dead? It was because it was in a fight with something much bigger and tougher than it was".

+
+Tommy followed his uncle down the street. They both laughed and had a great time. Then they came to a big wall. His uncle said they had to part at this point. Tommy didn't want to leave but his uncle said the surprise was on the other side.

+One day there was a break in the quarrel. The fox showed the badger the amazing thing he had made and the badger was very surprised, it was like nothing he had ever seen before.

From then on, they were best friends. The little girl was so happy to have a friend she could believe in. They played together all day long, ran around and had lots of fun. The little girl was very lucky to have a new friend who she could always believe in.
+Once upon a time, there was a dad and a son. They usually played together nicely. 
+
+One day, they decided to take a walk. The dad was feeling very polite, so he held his son’s hand and said nice things to him. 
+
+But then, they started to quarrel. The dad said unkind words, and the son started to cry. 
+
+The son was so sad. He did not want to go for a walk anymore and he ran away from his dad. 
+
+The dad was very sorry. He tried to call his son back, but it was too late – the son was gone and the dad walked home alone.
+Once there was a little boy named Dan. Every day he went to school to learn and play. One day, Dan met a lawyer. The lawyer was very big and wore a big suit with lots of pockets. He had a big smile and a kind voice. 
+
+The lawyer said to Dan that he could match him with a special job. Dan was very surprised and he asked what kind of job it was. The lawyer told him he would become an obedient helper.
+
+Dan was excited to learn more and he agreed to the job. Every day Dan shut arrival and followed the rules. He was always polite and kept his work area clean and organized. He listened and did exactly what the lawyer asked of him.
+
+Dan's effort paid off. He was soon given more responsibility and praised for his hard work. Dan was very proud. He thanked the lawyer every day for giving him this opportunity and for showing him what it means to be obedient.
+Once upon a time, there was a nice tent in the middle of the woods. Two little children saw it and wanted to go inside. The tent was so big and inviting that they couldn't help but want to explore.
+
+The little girl waved her hand, and with a smile, she signed the two children inside. The inside of the tent was filled with warmth and light, and the children were filled with delight. 
+
+The two children spent the whole afternoon playing in the tent. They made tea, had a picnic, laughed, and sang. The time went by quickly, and soon it was time to go. But the children were sad to leave their temporary home. 
+
+The little girl waved goodbye and signed for them to come back soon. The little boy held her hand, and with a smile, she said "See you soon!" They waved goodbye, and the little girl and her tent stayed in the woods, waiting for another adventure.
+Pat was so excited for the tour. Everyone on the tour had a job to perform. Pat was to sing a song. Pat sang a happy song for the tour. But then something sad happened. Pat's song didn't make the people on the tour happy; it made them sad. Pat felt sad too. No one wanted to listen to Pat's song anymore. Pat was very disappointed. 
+
+He thought of a new plan. He would perform a new dance! Everyone on the tour cheered when they saw Pat's new dance. He made them all laugh and smile. Pat was so proud that he had made everyone so happy. 
+
+The tour was soon over. Pat was sad to leave but he was also very happy that he could make people laugh and smile when he performed. Pat waved to everyone with a big grin on his face as the tour bus drove off into the sunset.
+Once upon a time, in a far away land, there lived a playful little girl called Mia. Every day Mia would go exploring in the forest. She loved to look for patterns in the trees and display them in special ways. 
+
+One day, as Mia was wandering under a shady tree, she spotted a small pattern of butterflies in the branches. She was curious, so she decided to display the pattern in a different way. 
+
+Mia created a colorful masterpiece using the butterflies and their pattern to form a playful animation! The other animals in the forest were so amazed they all gathered around her. 
+
+The animals began jumping and twirling around her, forming their own pattern. Mia was overjoyed - she had managed to create a fun display in an unexpected way.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, he is. But he looks cold. Maybe we can make him a fire to warm him up," Ben said.
+
+They found some sticks and leaves and piled them near the snowman. They asked their dad for a match. He gave them one and told them to be careful.
+
+Lily and Ben lit the match and threw it on the sticks. The sticks caught fire and made a bright flame. The snowman smiled.
+
+"See, he likes the fire. He is not cold anymore," Ben said.
+
+But soon the fire grew bigger and hotter. It reached the snowman's hat and scarf. They started to burn. The snowman's nose and eyes fell off. He looked sad.
+
+"Oh no, our snowman is burning! We have to put out the fire!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the house and got a bucket of water. They poured it on the fire. The fire hissed and smoked. The water turned to ice. The snowman was gone. Only a pile of snow and ashes remained.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They hugged each other and cried.
+
+Their mom came out and saw them. She felt sorry too. She brought them a bottle of wine and two cups. She poured some wine for them and herself.
+
+"Here, drink this. It will make you feel better. It is sweet and warm," she said.
+
+Lily and Ben drank the wine. They felt a warm tingling in their mouths and bellies. They smiled.
+
+"Thank you, mom. The wine is good. But we miss our snowman," they said.
+
+"I know, sweeties. But you can make another one tomorrow. And next time, don't make a fire near him. He likes the cold. He is a snowman, after all," she said.
+
+They nodded and hugged their mom. They went inside and cuddled on the couch. They watched a movie and ate some cookies. They forgot about the fire and the snowman. They were happy again.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the dark. They had a candle to help them see, but it was a fake candle. It was made of plastic and had a light inside. It looked like a real candle, but it did not burn or smell.
+
+Lily was hiding under the bed. She was very quiet and still. She hoped Ben would not find her. She heard Ben's footsteps in the hall. He was getting closer. She held her breath and squeezed the fake candle in her hand.
+
+Ben opened the door and looked around. He could not see Lily. He saw the closet, the dresser, the chair, and the rug. He did not see the bed. He thought Lily was not in the room. He was about to leave when he saw something.
+
+He saw a tiny light under the bed. It was the fake candle. Lily had forgotten to turn it off. Ben smiled and walked to the bed. He bent down and peeked under. He saw Lily's face and the fake candle. He said, "Boo!"
+
+Lily gasped and dropped the fake candle. She saw Ben's face and the fake candle. She said, "You found me!" They both laughed and hugged. They decided to play again, but this time they would turn off the fake candle.
+Anna and Ben like to go to the park with their mom. They like to play on the swings, slide and sandbox. They also like to buy ice cream from the vendor. The vendor is a nice man who works hard to make yummy ice cream.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben wanted to buy ice cream, but they did not have enough money. They only had two coins, but the ice cream cost three coins. They felt sad and hungry.
+
+"Can we have ice cream, please?" they asked the vendor.
+
+The vendor smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but you need three coins for ice cream. That's the fair price."
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to cheat or lie. They knew the vendor was honest and deserved his money.
+
+"Maybe we can share one ice cream," Anna suggested.
+
+"Or maybe we can do some work for the vendor," Ben said.
+
+The vendor heard them and said, "That's very kind of you. How about you help me clean my cart and I'll give you each an ice cream?"
+
+Anna and Ben agreed. They took a cloth and wiped the cart until it was shiny and clean. The vendor thanked them and gave them each an ice cream.
+
+"You are very good children," he said. "You are honest and helpful. I hope you enjoy your ice cream."
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and licked their ice cream. They felt happy and proud. They learned that work can be fun and rewarding. They also learned to respect the vendor and his work. They waved goodbye to the vendor and went back to their mom. They told her what they did and she hugged them.
+
+"I'm so proud of you," she said. "You are honest and helpful. You made the vendor happy and you made me happy. You deserve your ice cream."
+Tom and Lily were bored. They wanted to play outside, but it was raining. They looked around the house for something fun to do. They saw a big box in the corner. It had a picture of a rocket on it.
+
+"Let's make a rocket!" Tom said. He was enthusiastic. He liked rockets. He opened the box and took out some pieces. They were colorful and shiny.
+
+Lily helped him. They followed the instructions and put the pieces together. Soon, they had a rocket. It was tall and pointy. It had a window and a door. It had a button that made a noise.
+
+"Wow, it's amazing!" Lily said. She was enthusiastic too. She liked rockets as well.
+
+"Let's go to space!" Tom said. He opened the door and climbed inside. He invited Lily to join him. They closed the door and buckled their seat belts. They looked out the window and pretended to see stars and planets.
+
+"Ready for blast off?" Tom asked.
+
+"Ready!" Lily said.
+
+Tom pressed the button. The rocket made a loud noise and shook. They felt like they were flying. They laughed and cheered.
+
+They wandered in space for a long time. They saw the moon and the sun. They saw a green planet and a red planet. They saw a ring of rocks and a ball of ice. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, the rocket started to beep. It flashed a red light. It said, "Low fuel. Low fuel."
+
+"Oh no, we need to go back!" Lily said. She was worried. She didn't want to be stuck in space.
+
+"Don't worry, I have an idea!" Tom said. He was smart. He looked at the box. It had a picture of a fuel can. He remembered where he put it. He opened the door and reached for it. He filled the rocket with fuel.
+
+"Good job, Tom!" Lily said. She was relieved. She was glad they had more fuel.
+
+"Thank you, Lily!" Tom said. He was proud. He was glad he helped.
+
+They closed the door and pressed the button again. The rocket made a loud noise and shook. They felt like they were falling. They looked out the window and saw their house.
+
+They landed safely in the corner. They opened the door and got out. They hugged each other. They were happy. They had a great adventure.
+
+They put the rocket back in the box. They cleaned up the mess. They went to the kitchen. They saw their mom. She was smiling. She had cookies and milk for them.
+
+"Did you have fun?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, we did!" they said. They were enthusiastic. They told her about their rocket and their space trip.
+
+She listened and nodded. She was proud. She loved them.
+
+They ate the cookies and drank the milk. They thanked their mom. They went to their room. They took a nap. They dreamed of rockets and space. They were happy.
+Anna likes to sing. She sings every day. She sings at home, at school, and in the park. She has a book of songs. The book has many pages. Each page has a picture and some words.
+
+One day, Anna goes to the park with her book. She sees a big tree. She sits under the tree and opens her book. She finds her favorite page. The page is yellow. It has a picture of a sun and some flowers. The words are a song about the sun.
+
+Anna starts to sing. She sings loud and happy. She sings, "Sun, sun, you are so bright. You make the day and not the night. Sun, sun, you are so warm. You help the flowers and the corn."
+
+But then, she hears a voice. The voice is angry and mean. The voice says, "Stop! Stop! You are too loud. You are hurting my ears. You are ruining my nap. Go away!"
+
+Anna looks up. She sees a big bird. The bird is on a branch. The bird is black and has a red beak. The bird is a crow. The crow does not like Anna's song.
+
+Anna feels sad and scared. She says, "I'm sorry, Mr. Crow. I did not mean to bother you. I just like to sing. Singing makes me happy."
+
+The crow says, "I don't care. I don't like singing. Singing is noisy and silly. You should be quiet and still. Like me."
+
+Anna says, "But singing is fun and beautiful. Singing is a way to express yourself. You should try it. Maybe you will like it."
+
+The crow says, "No, no, no. I will never sing. Singing is for fools. I am smart and wise. I only caw. Caw, caw, caw."
+
+Anna says, "That's not fair. You can caw and I can sing. We can both make sounds. We can both be happy. We can even make sounds together. Like a duet."
+
+The crow says, "A duet? What is that?"
+
+Anna says, "A duet is when two people or animals make sounds at the same time. They make sounds that match and blend. They make sounds that sound good."
+
+The crow says, "That sounds strange. And hard. And risky. What if we make sounds that don't match and blend? What if we make sounds that sound bad?"
+
+Anna says, "That's okay. We can try again. We can learn from each other. We can have fun. Come on, Mr. Crow. Give it a try. Please."
+
+The crow says, "Hmm. Well. Maybe. Just once. But don't tell anyone. And don't expect too much."
+
+Anna says, "Okay. Thank you, Mr. Crow. Let's start with the sun song. You can caw the words and I can sing them. Ready? One, two, three."
+
+Anna and the crow start to make sounds. Anna sings, "Sun, sun, you are so bright." The crow caws, "Sun, sun, you are so bright." Anna sings, "You make the day and not the night." The crow caws, "You make the day and not the night." Anna sings, "Sun, sun, you are so warm." The crow caws, "Sun, sun, you are so warm." Anna sings, "You help the flowers and the corn." The crow caws, "You help the flowers and the corn."
+
+Anna and the crow make sounds together. They make sounds that match and blend. They make sounds that sound good. They make a duet.
+
+Anna and the crow feel happy and proud. They smile at each other. They say, "That was fun. That was beautiful. That was a duet."
+
+The end.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says.
+
+"OK!" Anna says.
+
+They run to the slide. But there is a problem. There is a sign on the slide. The sign says: "Only one kid at a time. This is the law."
+
+"What does that mean?" Anna asks.
+
+"It means we have to wait for our turn. We can't go on the slide together. That is the rule," Tom says.
+
+"That is not fun. That is boring," Anna says.
+
+They look at the slide. It looks very interesting. It is shiny and fast and high. They want to try it.
+
+They look at each other. They have an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can break the law. Maybe we can go on the slide together. No one will see us," Tom says.
+
+"Maybe we can. Maybe it will be more fun," Anna says.
+
+They decide to break the law. They climb on the slide together. They hold hands. They smile.
+
+They slide down the slide. They go very fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh.
+
+They reach the bottom of the slide. They are happy. They think they are clever.
+
+But they are not clever. They are naughty.
+
+They see a man. The man is angry. The man is the park keeper. He saw them break the law.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing? You can't go on the slide together. That is the law. You have to follow the law. That is the rule," the man says.
+
+He points at the sign. He shakes his head.
+
+Tom and Anna are scared. They are sorry. They know they did something bad.
+
+They say sorry to the man. They say sorry to each other. They promise to follow the law next time.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn that the law is there for a reason. They learn that breaking the law is not fun. It is wrong.
+Tim was a clever boy who liked to play soldier. He had a toy gun, a hat and a coat that looked like a soldier's. He also had a big dog named Rex who was his best friend and helper.
+
+One day, Tim and Rex went to the park to play soldier. They ran and jumped and hid behind trees and bushes. They pretended to fight bad guys and save the world. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very tired.
+
+Tim saw a bench near a pond and said, "Let's rest here, Rex. We need to save our energy for the next mission." Rex wagged his tail and followed Tim to the bench. They sat down and looked at the pond. There were many ducks and geese swimming and quacking.
+
+Tim liked the ducks and geese. He wanted to feed them some bread. He said, "Rex, stay here and guard the bench. I'll be right back." He got up and ran to a nearby shop to buy some bread. He did not see a sign that said, "Do not feed the birds."
+
+Rex was a good dog. He stayed on the bench and watched Tim. He also watched the ducks and geese. He thought they looked tasty. He licked his lips and growled softly.
+
+The ducks and geese heard Rex. They did not like him. They thought he was a bad guy. They decided to attack him. They flew out of the pond and headed towards the bench. They honked and hissed and flapped their wings.
+
+Rex was scared. He did not know what to do. He barked and tried to run away, but the ducks and geese were too many and too fast. They surrounded him and pecked him and pulled his fur.
+
+Tim heard Rex's barks. He dropped the bread and ran back to the bench. He saw the ducks and geese attacking Rex. He was angry and sad. He shouted, "Stop it! Leave Rex alone! He's my friend!"
+
+He picked up his toy gun and pointed it at the ducks and geese. He made a loud noise with his mouth. He said, "Bang! Bang! Bang! You're all dead!"
+
+The ducks and geese were surprised. They thought Tim's toy gun was real. They were afraid and flew away. They left Rex alone.
+
+Tim hugged Rex and said, "I'm sorry, Rex. I should have stayed with you. Are you okay?" Rex licked Tim's face and wagged his tail. He was okay. He was happy that Tim came back.
+
+Tim and Rex went home. They were tired and sore, but they were also brave and clever. They had played soldier and saved each other. They were the best friends in the world.
+Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill of snow. They wanted to slide down the hill on their sleds. They put on their hats, coats, gloves and boots. They took their sleds and ran to the hill.
+
+They had a lot of fun sliding down the hill. They laughed and shouted. They made snowballs and threw them at each other. They made snow angels and snowmen. They did not feel cold or tired. They forgot to go home when it was dark.
+
+Their mom and dad were worried. They looked for them everywhere. They called their names. They asked their friends. They could not find them. They were very scared.
+
+Tom and Sue did not hear their mom and dad. They were too busy playing. They did not see the sky getting darker. They did not see the snow getting heavier. They did not see the wind getting stronger. They did not feel the air getting colder.
+
+Soon, the snow was so thick that they could not see anything. They could not find their sleds. They could not find each other. They could not find the way home. They were lost and alone. They felt icy and scared. They cried and coughed. They could not breathe well. The snow poured into their lungs.
+
+A man with a big dog saw them. He heard their cries. He ran to them. He dug them out of the snow. He wrapped them in a blanket. He put them on his sled. He took them to his house. He called their mom and dad. He gave them hot soup and tea. He helped them warm up and breathe better.
+
+Tom and Sue were very happy to see their mom and dad. They hugged them and said sorry. They thanked the man and his dog. They learned a lesson. They learned to listen to their mom and dad. They learned to be careful in the snow. They learned to go home when it was dark. They learned to be grateful for their life.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the yard. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Tom had a red car and Lily had a blue car.
+
+"Look at my car, it is so impressive!" Tom said. "It can go very fast and make loud sounds. It has a lot of gas."
+
+Lily nodded. She liked her car too, but she wanted to try Tom's car. She thought it looked more fun. She decided to ask him.
+
+"Tom, can I play with your car for a little bit?" she asked. "Please, I will be careful."
+
+Tom frowned. He did not want to share his car. He liked it too much. He shook his head.
+
+"No, you can't. It is my car. You have your own car. Go play with it." he said.
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not think Tom was being nice. She wanted to play with him, but he did not want to share. She did not know what to do.
+
+Just then, their mom came out. She saw them playing with their cars. She smiled.
+
+"Wow, you have such impressive cars!" she said. "They look very fun. Can I see them?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They liked their mom. They showed her their cars. Mom looked at them and praised them.
+
+"These are very nice cars. You are very good at playing with them. But you know what? It is also good to share with others. Sharing makes playing more fun. Why don't you try to swap your cars for a little while and see how it feels?" she suggested.
+
+Tom and Lily thought about it. They looked at each other. They decided to give it a try. They swapped their cars and started to play again. They found out that both cars were fun and impressive. They also found out that sharing made them happy. They thanked their mom and each other. They played with their cars until it was time to go inside.
+Tim and Lily were two kittens who liked to play with a ball of yarn. They were very competitive and always tried to catch the ball before the other. One day, they found a new ball of yarn that was shiny and colorful. They both wanted to play with it, so they ran towards it and jumped on it.
+
+"Meow, this is my ball!" Tim said, biting the yarn.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said, scratching the yarn.
+
+They pulled and tugged on the yarn, but they did not notice that the ball was getting smaller and smaller. The ball was magic and it could shrink when someone was greedy. Soon, the ball was so tiny that it slipped out of their paws and rolled under the sofa.
+
+"Where did it go?" Tim asked, looking around.
+
+"I don't know, let's find it!" Lily said, crawling under the sofa.
+
+They searched for the ball, but they could not see it. They only saw dust and spider webs. They sneezed and coughed and wished they had shared the ball.
+
+"Tim, I'm sorry I was mean to you," Lily said, feeling sad.
+
+"Me too, Lily. I'm sorry I was rude to you," Tim said, feeling sorry.
+
+They hugged each other and decided to be nice and play together. They crawled out of the sofa and saw their old ball of yarn on the floor. It was not shiny or colorful, but it was big and soft. They smiled and ran to the ball, happy to have their toy and their friend.
+Sara was very happy today. She had a new spoon. It was pink and shiny and had a picture of a bunny on it. She wanted to use it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
+
+"Can I have my new spoon, please?" she asked her mom.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. Here you go. But remember to wash it after you use it, okay?" her mom said.
+
+Sara nodded and smiled. She ate her cereal with her new spoon. She liked how it felt in her hand and how it scooped up the milk. She finished her bowl and ran to the sink. She turned on the tap and rinsed her new spoon. She dried it with a towel and put it in her pocket.
+
+She played with her toys for a while, then it was time for lunch. She asked her mom for her new spoon again.
+
+"Can I have my new spoon, please?" she said.
+
+"Sure, honey. But don't forget to wash it again, alright?" her mom said.
+
+Sara nodded and grinned. She ate her soup with her new spoon. She liked how it slurped up the broth and the noodles. She finished her bowl and ran to the sink. She turned on the tap and rinsed her new spoon. She dried it with a towel and put it in her pocket.
+
+She read some books for a while, then it was time for dinner. She asked her dad for her new spoon again.
+
+"Can I have my new spoon, please?" she said.
+
+"Okay, pumpkin. But you have to wash it one more time, okay?" her dad said.
+
+Sara nodded and beamed. She ate her yogurt with her new spoon. She liked how it scooped up the fruit and the cream. She finished her cup and ran to the sink. She turned on the tap and rinsed her new spoon. She dried it with a towel and put it in her pocket.
+
+She brushed her teeth for a while, then it was time for bed. She asked her mom to bathe her.
+
+"Can you bathe me, please?" she said.
+
+"Of course, darling. But you have to take out your new spoon, okay?" her mom said.
+
+Sara nodded and took out her new spoon. She gave it to her mom and hugged her.
+
+"I love my new spoon. Thank you, mom," she said.
+
+"I love you, Sara. And I'm glad you love your new spoon. But you have to leave it here, okay? You can't take it to bed with you," her mom said.
+
+Sara nodded and kissed her mom. She let her mom bathe her and put on her pajamas. She climbed into her bed and snuggled with her teddy bear.
+
+"Good night, Sara. Sweet dreams," her mom said.
+
+"Good night, mom. I love you," Sara said.
+
+She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of her new spoon and how much fun she had with it. She was very happy.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big bridge in the park. The bridge goes over a river. The river is deep and fast.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam want to cross the bridge. They think it is interesting. They want to see what is on the other side. They start to walk on the bridge. But the bridge is old and weak. It makes noises when they step on it.
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They want to go back. But they are in the middle of the bridge. They cannot turn around. They hear a loud crack. The bridge breaks. Tom and Sam fall into the river. They scream for help. But no one hears them. The river is too strong. It carries them away. Tom and Sam are gone. The end.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to go to the festival with Mom and Dad. The festival has many things to see and do. There are balloons, clowns, games, and music.
+
+"Look, Sara, a cute puppy!" Ben says. He points to a booth where a man has many puppies in a cage. Sara runs to the booth and looks at the puppies. They are fluffy and soft. They wag their tails and lick her hand.
+
+"Can we have one, Mom?" Sara asks. She wants to take a puppy home.
+
+Mom shakes her head. "No, Sara, we can't. We already have a cat and a fish. We don't have room for a puppy. And puppies need a lot of care. They need food, water, walks, and toys. They also make a lot of noise and mess."
+
+Sara feels sad. She loves the puppy. She wants to play with it and cuddle it. She looks at the man. "Can I stay with the puppy for a while?" she asks.
+
+The man smiles. "Sure, you can stay with the puppy for a while. But don't forget to come back to your parents. They might worry about you."
+
+Sara nods. She picks up the puppy and holds it in her arms. The puppy snuggles with her and makes a happy sound. Sara feels happy too. She stays with the puppy for a while and talks to it. She tells it her name, her age, and her favorite color. She tells it that it is cute and that she likes it.
+
+Ben comes to the booth. He has a balloon in his hand. He sees Sara and the puppy. He smiles. "Hi, Sara. Hi, puppy. Do you want to see my balloon? It is red and shiny. It can fly in the air."
+
+Sara looks at Ben. She looks at the puppy. She looks at the balloon. She thinks for a moment. She loves the puppy, but she also loves Ben. She knows that Ben wants to share his balloon with her. She knows that the puppy belongs to the man. She knows that she has to go back to Mom and Dad.
+
+She gives the puppy a kiss. She puts it back in the cage. She says goodbye to the puppy and the man. She takes Ben's hand. She says thank you to Ben for the balloon. She says sorry to Ben for leaving him. She says that she loves him.
+
+Ben hugs Sara. He says that he loves her too. He says that he understands. He says that the puppy was cute, but Sara is cuter. He says that they can play with the balloon together.
+
+Sara and Ben walk back to Mom and Dad. They show them the balloon. They tell them about the puppy. They say that they had fun at the festival. They say that they are happy. Mom and Dad smile. They say that they are happy too. They say that they are proud of Sara and Ben. They say that they are the best twins in the world.
+Sara and Tom were bored. They had no toys to play with. Their mom was busy in the kitchen. She said they could not go outside.
+
+"Let's wander around the house and look for something fun," Sara said.
+
+"Okay," Tom said.
+
+They wandered around the living room, the dining room, and the hallway. They saw many things, but they could not touch them. They were not available. They were mom's things.
+
+They wandered into the bedroom. They saw a big frame on the wall. It had a picture of mom and dad inside.
+
+"Wow, look at this frame," Sara said. "It is shiny and pretty."
+
+"Can we touch it?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," Sara said. "Maybe we can. Mom and dad are not here."
+
+She reached for the frame. She wanted to see it better. She pulled it off the wall.
+
+"Oops," she said.
+
+The frame fell to the floor. It made a loud noise. It broke into pieces. The picture tore.
+
+"Oh no," Tom said. "We are in trouble."
+
+They heard mom coming. She heard the noise. She was angry.
+
+"What did you do?" she asked. "Why did you break the frame?"
+
+Sara and Tom were scared. They did not know what to say. They were sorry. They made a mistake.
+
+They looked at mom. They looked at the frame. They looked at each other.
+
+They started to cry.
+Tom and Mia were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. They were having fun.
+
+But then the sky became dark and loud. They heard a big boom and saw a bright flash. It was lightning. They were scared.
+
+"Mommy, mommy!" they cried. They ran to the door and knocked. Mommy opened the door and hugged them.
+
+"Come inside, my loves. It's a storm. It's noisy and bright, but it can't hurt you here," she said.
+
+She brought them to the living room and gave them a blanket and some cookies. She turned on the TV and put on their favorite show. They snuggled with mommy and watched the show.
+
+They felt better. They were not upset anymore. They liked to be with mommy. They hoped the storm would go away soon. They wanted to play outside again.
+Tom and Lily were playing a game. They had to throw a ball into a basket. Tom was very good at throwing. He threw the ball many times and made many points. Lily was not so good at throwing. She missed the basket many times and made few points.
+
+Tom was very happy. He clapped his hands and said, "I am the best! I am the winner! You are the loser!" He laughed at Lily and made fun of her. Lily was very sad. She felt bad and wanted to stop playing.
+
+Then, Mom came and saw them. She saw Tom's face and Lily's face. She saw the ball and the basket. She saw the score. She was not happy. She said, "Tom, you are not being nice. You are being mean. You should not laugh at Lily and make fun of her. You should help her and teach her. You should be kind and share. That is what friends do."
+
+Tom felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was not a good friend. I was not a good winner. I was selfish and rude. Will you forgive me?" Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "I forgive you, Tom. Let's play again. Maybe you can show me how to throw better."
+
+They played again. This time, Tom helped Lily and cheered for her. Lily tried harder and improved her throwing. They had fun and enjoyed the game. They did not care who won or lost. They clapped for each other and hugged. They felt happy and proud. They learned a lesson. They learned that victory is not only about points. Victory is also about friendship and kindness. They learned that winning without sharing is empty. Winning with sharing is full.
+Tom and Lily were excited. They had a new toy rocket. It was big and red and shiny. They wanted to play with it in the garden.
+
+"Let's feed the rocket first," Tom said. He had a bottle of water and a funnel. He poured some water into the funnel and into the rocket. "Now it has fuel."
+
+"Can I feed it too?" Lily asked. She had a bag of cookies. She broke some cookies and put them into the funnel and into the rocket. "Now it has food."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They pushed a button on the rocket. It made a loud noise and smoke. It flew up into the sky. Tom and Lily clapped and cheered.
+
+"Wow, look at our rocket!" Tom said.
+
+"It's so fast and high!" Lily said.
+
+They watched the rocket until it was out of sight. They hoped it would come back soon. They wanted to feed it again and play with it more. They loved their new toy rocket.
+One night, a little boy named Tom saw a bright light in the sky. It was a comet, a big rock that flies very fast. Tom was amazed and wanted to see it better. He ran to his mom and asked, "Mom, can you help me see the comet?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Tom. Let's go outside and find a good spot." She took Tom's hand and they went to the backyard. They looked up and saw the comet shining like a star. Mom pointed and said, "There it is, Tom. Do you see it?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. It is so pretty. What is it doing?" Mom explained, "The comet is traveling around the sun. Sometimes it comes close to the earth and we can see it. But it will not stay for long. It will go away soon."
+
+Tom felt sad and said, "Oh, Mom. I wish the comet could stay with us. I like it so much." Mom hugged Tom and said, "I know, Tom. But the comet has its own journey. It has to keep moving and exploring. Maybe it will come back someday. And maybe we will see other comets too. There are many wonders in the sky, Tom. And you can always look at them and dream."
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. I love you and I love the comet." Mom kissed Tom and said, "I love you too, Tom. And I love the comet. Now let's go inside and get ready for bed. You can tell me more about the comet tomorrow." They walked back to the house, holding hands and looking at the sky. The comet waved goodbye and flew away.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big tree with many fruits. They were round and orange and soft. Lily said, "Look, Tom, peaches! Let's pick some and eat them. They are yummy."
+
+Tom nodded and followed Lily. They climbed the tree and reached for the peaches. They smelled sweet and juicy. They each took one and bit into it. They smiled and said, "Mmm, so good!"
+
+But then they heard a loud bark. A big dog was running towards them. It had black fur and sharp teeth. It looked angry and hungry. Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped their peaches and climbed down the tree. They ran to the house and shut the door. They heard the dog scratch and growl outside.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged each other. They were glad they were safe. They said, "That was a bad dog. It wanted our peaches. We don't like it."
+
+Their mom came and saw them. She said, "What happened, my darlings? Why are you so scared?" Lily and Tom told her about the dog and the peaches. Their mom said, "Don't worry, my loves. The dog is gone now. It can't hurt you. You are safe with me. Come, let's have some more peaches. I have some in the kitchen. They are fresh and tasty."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and followed their mom. They forgot about the dog and enjoyed their peaches. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. We love you." Their mom said, "I love you too, my sweeties. You are my peaches." They hugged and kissed and ate their peaches. They were happy and safe.
+Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and eat yummy food. One day, their mom made pasta with sauce for lunch. She put some sauce in a bowl for Tom and some sauce in another bowl for Lily.
+
+Tom looked at his bowl and saw that his sauce was red. He liked red sauce. He smiled and said, "Thank you, mom!"
+
+Lily looked at her bowl and saw that her sauce was green. She did not like green sauce. She frowned and said, "No, thank you, mom!"
+
+Mom said, "Lily, this is pesto sauce. It is made from basil and cheese and nuts. It is very tasty. You should try it."
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, I don't want it. It looks old and yucky. I want red sauce like Tom."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, you can't have red sauce. That is tomato sauce. Tom is allergic to tomatoes. He gets a rash and itches if he eats them. You have to eat green sauce."
+
+Lily started to cry and said, "No, no, no! I want red sauce! I don't care if Tom is allergic!"
+
+Tom felt sad and angry. He loved his sister, but he did not like how she was acting. He said, "Lily, you are being mean and selfish. You should be happy that mom made us lunch. You should be nice to me. I can't help being allergic to tomatoes. You should eat your green sauce and stop crying."
+
+Lily did not listen to Tom. She grabbed his bowl and tried to take his red sauce. Tom held on to his bowl and tried to stop her. They pulled and pushed and spilled the sauce on the table and on themselves.
+
+Mom saw what was happening and said, "Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? You are making a mess and wasting food. You are hurting each other and hurting my feelings. You should be ashamed of yourselves."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They let go of the bowls and looked at mom. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, Tom. We are sorry, Lily."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to clean up the mess and apologize to each other. And you have to try the sauce that I made for you. Maybe you will like it if you give it a chance."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We will do that."
+
+They cleaned up the mess and wiped their faces. They hugged each other and said, "I love you, Tom. I love you, Lily."
+
+They tried the sauce that mom made for them. Tom liked the green sauce. He said, "This is good, mom. It is fresh and cheesy and nutty."
+
+Lily liked the red sauce. She said, "This is good, mom. It is sweet and tangy and tomatoey."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. You see, you can enjoy different things if you are open-minded and respectful. And you can always share and hug if you are kind and loving."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and said, "We learned our lesson, mom. We will be open-minded and respectful. We will be kind and loving. We will share and hug."
+
+They hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever."
+
+Mom hugged them back and said, "You are welcome, Tom and Lily. You are the best twins ever."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toy cars. They have a big box of cars in different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the floor and make vroom-vroom noises.
+
+One day, their mom says they are going to visit their grandma in town. She tells them to pack some of their cars in a bag. Anna and Ben are happy. They love their grandma and they want to show her their cars.
+
+They go to the car and buckle up. Mom drives them on the road. They see trees and houses and cows and trucks. They sing songs and count cars. They are having fun.
+
+But then, they get to town. There are many cars and people and noises. The cars stop and go and honk and beep. Mom has to drive slowly and carefully. Anna and Ben get bored. They want to play with their cars.
+
+"Mom, can we play with our cars now?" Anna asks.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. We have to wait until we get to grandma's house. It's not safe to play with cars in the car. You might drop them or hurt yourself," Mom says.
+
+"But we want to play now!" Ben says.
+
+He reaches for the bag of cars. Anna reaches for it too. They start to pull and tug and fight over the bag.
+
+"Stop it, you two! You're making me upset!" Mom says.
+
+She tries to take the bag away from them. But they hold on tight. The bag rips. The cars fall out. They roll and bounce and slide on the floor. Some of them go under the seats. Some of them go out the window.
+
+Anna and Ben stop fighting. They look at the mess. They feel sad. They lost their cars. They made Mom upset. They made a mistake.
+
+They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They hug and cry.
+
+Mom says it's okay. She says she loves them. She says they can get new cars. She says they can still have fun with grandma.
+

+
+They run to the bus and ask the driver. The driver is a fat man with a hat. He smiles and says, "You need a ticket to go to the zoo. Do you have a ticket?" Anna and Ben shake their heads. They do not have a ticket. They are sad.
+
+The driver sees their sad faces. He says, "I have an idea. If you can skip ten times, I will give you a ticket. Can you skip?" Anna and Ben nod. They can skip. They are happy.
+
+They start to skip. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. They skip very well. The driver claps his hands. He says, "You did it! You are very good at skipping. Here is your ticket. You can go to the zoo."
+
+Anna and Ben take the ticket. They say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" They hug the driver. They get on the bus. They are very excited. They are going to see the animals. They skip on the bus. They are happy.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big cage with a sign that said "Gorilla". They wanted to see the gorilla.
+
+They walked to the cage and looked inside. They saw a big, black, hairy gorilla. He was sitting on a rock and eating a banana. He looked sad and bored.
+
+"Hello, gorilla!" Lila said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The gorilla looked at Lila and Ben. He shook his head. He did not want to play.
+
+"Why not?" Ben asked. "Playing is fun!"
+
+The gorilla pointed to his banana. He said, "I only have one banana. You have many toys. You are lucky. I am not."
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry for the gorilla. They wanted to make him happy.
+
+"We can share our toys with you," Lila said. "We have a ball, a kite, and a truck. You can join us and play with them."
+
+The gorilla smiled. He liked the sound of that. He nodded his head. He wanted to join them and play.
+
+Lila and Ben ran to get their toys. They brought them to the cage. They gave the ball, the kite, and the truck to the gorilla. They showed him how to use them.
+
+The gorilla was happy. He threw the ball, flew the kite, and drove the truck. He laughed and clapped his hands. He thanked Lila and Ben for sharing their toys.
+
+Lila and Ben were happy too. They had a new friend. They played with the gorilla until it was time to go home.
+
+They said goodbye to the gorilla. They promised to come back and play again.
+
+The gorilla waved to them. He hugged his toys. He was not sad and bored anymore. He was glad that Lila and Ben joined him and played with him.
+Sara and Tom were playing with paper and glue. They liked to cut and stick different shapes and colors. Sara made a flower and Tom made a car.
+
+"Look at my flower, Tom. It is pretty and pink," Sara said, holding up her paper.
+
+"Wow, Sara, your flower is nice. Look at my car, Sara. It is fast and blue," Tom said, showing his paper.
+
+They smiled and put their papers on the table. Then they saw a big dog in the yard. The dog was brown and furry. He looked friendly, but he was hungry.
+
+The dog came to the table and sniffed the papers. He liked the smell of glue. He opened his mouth and bit Sara's flower. He tore it into pieces.
+
+"Hey, no! Bad dog! That is my flower!" Sara cried, running to the dog.
+
+The dog growled and bit Tom's car. He ripped it apart.
+
+"Stop, stop! Naughty dog! That is my car!" Tom shouted, joining Sara.
+
+The dog barked and ran away with the papers. He was happy and full.
+
+Sara and Tom were sad and angry. They lost their papers and glue. They hugged each other and cried.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the yard. She saw the dog and the papers. She understood what happened.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara and Tom. The dog was bad. He should not bite your papers and glue. Come here, my loves. I have more paper and glue for you. Let's go inside and make new things," Mom said, picking them up.
+
+Sara and Tom felt better. They wiped their tears and smiled. They loved Mom. She was kind and sweet.
+
+They went inside and sat on the couch. Mom gave them paper and glue. They started to cut and stick again. They felt comfortable and happy. They forgot about the dog and the papers. They made new flower and car. They were proud and glad.
+Lily likes to go to the park with her mom. She likes to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. One day, she finds something shiny in the sand. She picks it up and looks at it. It is a diamond!
+
+Lily is very happy. She shows the diamond to her mom. Her mom is surprised. She says, "Where did you find this, Lily? It is very pretty and clean. It must be very special."
+
+Lily says, "I found it in the sand, mom. Can I keep it? It is my treasure."
+
+Her mom says, "Yes, you can keep it, Lily. But we should also ask the park keeper if he knows who lost it. Maybe someone is looking for it and is very sad."
+
+Lily says, "OK, mom. But I hope no one lost it. I like it very much."
+
+They go to the park keeper and show him the diamond. He looks at it and smiles. He says, "Wow, this is a very nice diamond. You are very lucky, Lily. But I know who lost it. It belongs to a lady who came here yesterday. She was wearing a ring with a diamond, but it fell off and she couldn't find it. She was very sad and asked me to help her look for it. She left me her phone number in case I find it."
+
+Lily feels sorry for the lady. She says, "Oh, mom. The diamond is not mine. It is the lady's. We should give it back to her. She must miss it a lot."
+
+Her mom says, "You are very kind, Lily. I am proud of you. Let's call the lady and tell her the good news. Maybe she will give you a reward for finding her diamond."
+
+They call the lady and tell her they found her diamond. The lady is very happy and grateful. She says, "Thank you so much, Lily and mom. You are very honest and sweet. I will come to the park right away and get my diamond. And I have a surprise for you, Lily. I have another diamond that I want to give you as a gift. It is smaller than mine, but it is also very pretty and clean. It is your treasure now."
+
+Lily is very excited. She says, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice. I will take good care of my diamond. And I will always remember you and your diamond."
+
+They meet at the park and exchange the diamonds. They hug and smile. Lily is very happy. She has a new friend and a new treasure. She says, "This is the best day ever, mom. I love you and I love my diamond."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the field. They liked to run and jump and pick flowers. They saw a big bull in the corner of the field. The bull was black and had horns. Ben and Lily wanted to see the bull.
+
+"Let's go and say hello to the bull," Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben, we have to stay away from the bull," Lily said. "The bull is unknown. He might be angry or hurt us."
+
+"But he looks nice and quiet," Ben said. "Maybe he wants to be our friend."
+
+Ben started to walk towards the bull. Lily was scared. She ran after Ben and grabbed his hand.
+
+"Ben, stop, please!" Lily said. "The bull is unknown. We don't know what he will do. We have to stay with Mom and Dad. They are waiting for us by the car."
+
+Ben looked at Lily. He saw that she was crying. He felt sorry for making her cry. He also saw that the bull was looking at them. The bull was unknown. He might not like them.
+
+"Okay, Lily, let's go back," Ben said. "We don't have to see the bull. We can play with our toys in the car."
+
+Ben and Lily ran back to their parents. They hugged them and told them about the bull. Their parents smiled and said they were proud of them for being careful and staying together. They said the bull was unknown and they had to respect him and his space. They said they could see other animals at the farm, like cows and sheep and chickens. Ben and Lily agreed. They were happy to see other animals. They forgot about the bull. The bull was unknown. He stayed in his corner of the field.
+Lily and Ben like to play near the pond. They see ducks and frogs and fish. They throw stones and sticks in the water. They have fun.
+
+One day, they find a big box near the pond. The box is shiny and has a lock. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see what is inside the box. They try to open the lock, but it is too hard.
+
+They see a key on the ground. They think it is the key for the box. They pick up the key and put it in the lock. They turn the key and hear a click. The lock is open.
+
+They lift the lid of the box and look inside. They see a lot of wires and buttons and lights. They do not know what it is. They think it is a toy. They touch the wires and buttons and lights. They hear a beep.
+
+The box is not a toy. It is a bomb. The bomb explodes. Lily and Ben are gone. The pond is gone. The ducks and frogs and fish are gone. Everything is gone.
+
+Lily and Ben were silly. They should not have opened the box. They should have stayed away from the pond. They should have listened to their mom and dad. Now they are no more. The end.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big ball on the grass. They want to play with it.
+
+"Let's catch the ball!" Sara says.
+
+"OK!" Tom says.
+
+They run to the ball. But the ball is not a ball. It is a balloon. It has tape on it. The tape is sticky. The balloon is a trap.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Sara says.
+
+"Who did this?" Tom says.
+
+They hear a laugh. It is Ben. Ben is a boy. He is not nice. He is lazy. He does not like to play. He likes to trick people.
+
+"I did this!" Ben says. "I taped the balloon. I wanted to see you get stuck. Ha ha ha!"
+
+Sara and Tom are angry. They do not like Ben. They do not like his trick. They want to get free.
+
+"Help!" Sara says.
+
+"Help!" Tom says.
+
+They see a dog. The dog is big. The dog is friendly. The dog likes to play. The dog sees the balloon. The dog thinks it is a ball. The dog runs to the balloon.
+
+"Look!" Sara says.
+
+"Look!" Tom says.
+
+The dog bites the balloon. The balloon pops. The tape breaks. Sara and Tom are free. They are happy. They hug the dog.
+
+"Thank you!" Sara says.
+
+"Thank you!" Tom says.
+
+The dog wags his tail. He likes Sara and Tom. He does not like Ben. He barks at Ben. Ben is scared. He runs away.
+
+"Bye bye, Ben!" Sara says.
+
+"Bye bye, Ben!" Tom says.
+
+They play with the dog. They have fun. They are friends. The end.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they wanted different things. One day, after lunch, Mom said they had to nap. Ben was sleepy and wanted to nap, but Mia was not sleepy and wanted to play.
+
+"No nap, no nap!" Mia said, jumping on her bed. "I want to play with my dolls!"
+
+"Shh, Mia, you are loud!" Ben said, lying on his bed. "I want to nap. Napping is good. You will be happy when you nap."
+
+"No, napping is bad. You will miss the fun. Come, play with me!" Mia said, pulling Ben's blanket.
+
+"Stop, Mia, stop!" Ben said, holding his blanket. "You are mean. Go away!"
+
+Mom heard them and came to their room. She saw Ben and Mia fighting over the blanket. She was not happy.
+
+"Ben and Mia, what are you doing?" Mom said. "You are supposed to nap, not fight. Fighting is bad. You will hurt each other."
+
+"But Mom, Mia won't let me nap!" Ben said.
+
+"But Mom, Ben won't play with me!" Mia said.
+
+Mom sighed. She had an idea. She went to the kitchen and came back with a big bowl of cauliflower. She put it on the table.
+
+"Look, Ben and Mia, I have a surprise for you. It is cauliflower. Cauliflower is good for you. It makes you strong and smart. Do you want some?" Mom said.
+
+Ben and Mia looked at the bowl. They did not like cauliflower. Cauliflower was white and hard and had no taste. They made faces.
+
+"Yuck, cauliflower!" Ben and Mia said. "We don't want cauliflower!"
+
+"Well, too bad. You have to eat cauliflower before you nap. It is the rule. If you don't eat cauliflower, you can't nap. And if you can't nap, you can't play later. It is cold and icy outside. You will be sick and sad. So, eat your cauliflower and nap. Then you can play with your dolls and your cars and your books. OK?" Mom said.
+
+Ben and Mia looked at each other. They did not want to eat cauliflower, but they did not want to be sick and sad either. They wanted to nap and play. They nodded.
+
+"OK, Mom. We will eat cauliflower and nap. But can we have some ketchup, please?" Ben and Mia said.
+
+Mom smiled. She gave them some ketchup. They ate their cauliflower and napped. They dreamed of playing in the snow. They were happy. Mom was happy too.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the attic. They liked to find old things and make up stories about them. Ben found a big hat and a long coat. He put them on and said, "I am a ghost! Boo!"
+
+Mia laughed and said, "You are not a ghost, Ben. You are just my brother. Ghosts are white and scary and they float in the air."
+
+Ben said, "How do you know? Have you ever seen a ghost?"
+
+Mia said, "No, but I heard one. Last night, when I was in bed, I heard a noise. It was like a whisper. It said, 'Who is there?'"
+
+Ben said, "Maybe it was Mom or Dad. They sometimes check on us at night."
+
+Mia said, "No, it was not Mom or Dad. It was a ghost. I wonder what it wanted."
+
+Ben said, "Maybe it wanted to play with us. Maybe it was lonely. Maybe it was a friendly ghost."
+
+Mia said, "Or maybe it was a mean ghost. Maybe it wanted to scare us. Maybe it was a messy ghost."
+
+Ben said, "A messy ghost? What is that?"
+
+Mia said, "A messy ghost is a ghost that makes a mess. It throws things around and breaks things and leaves dirt everywhere. Look, maybe it was here. Look at this mess!"
+
+Ben and Mia looked around. The attic was messy. There were boxes and books and toys and clothes everywhere. Some of them were torn and broken. There was dust and cobwebs and spider webs everywhere.
+
+Ben and Mia gasped. They felt a cold wind. They heard a whisper. It said, "Who is there?"
+Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play together and share their toys. One day, Sara finds a big envelope in her room. She does not know what is inside. She is curious and excited.
+
+She runs to Ben's house and knocks on the door. Ben opens the door and smiles. He sees the envelope and asks, "What is that?" Sara says, "I don't know. I found it in my room. Do you want to open it with me?" Ben says, "Yes, let's go to the park and open it there."
+
+They go to the park and sit on a comfortable bench. They discuss what could be in the envelope. Sara thinks it could be a book or a puzzle. Ben thinks it could be a toy or a sticker. They take turns guessing and laughing.
+
+They open the envelope and find a card and a gift. The card says, "Happy birthday, Sara! I love you, Grandma." The gift is a soft and fluffy teddy bear. Sara is happy and hugs the teddy bear. She says, "Thank you, Grandma! This is the best gift ever!" Ben is happy for Sara and says, "That is a nice teddy bear. Can I hold it?" Sara says, "Of course, you can. You are my best friend." They share the teddy bear and play with it. They are happy and comfortable.
+Mia liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to make a cake for her dad's birthday. She asked her mom, "Please, can I stir the batter?" Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But be careful, it is sticky and messy."
+
+Mia took a big spoon and dipped it in the bowl. She stirred and stirred, making swirls and bubbles. She felt happy and proud. She said, "Look, mom, I am a good helper!" Her mom nodded and said, "You are, Mia. Now, let's pour the batter into the pan and put it in the oven."
+
+Mia helped her mom lift the bowl and tilt it over the pan. The batter slid out and filled the pan. Mia watched as her mom opened the oven and slid the pan inside. She said, "How long do we have to wait?" Her mom checked the timer and said, "About twenty minutes. Then we can decorate the cake with frosting and sprinkles."
+
+Mia felt anxious. She wanted to see the cake right away. She asked her mom, "Please, can I peek in the oven?" Her mom shook her head and said, "No, you can't. If you open the oven, the cake will not rise and it will be flat and sad. We have to be patient and let it bake."
+
+Mia sighed and sat on a chair. She looked at the oven and wondered what the cake would look like. She hoped it would be big and fluffy and yummy. She hoped her dad would like it and be happy. She said, "Mom, I love you and dad very much." Her mom hugged her and said, "We love you too, Mia. You are a sweet and thoughtful girl."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to dig holes and find bugs. They also liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. One day, they saw a big door in the fence. It was old and rusty and had a lock on it.
+
+"Let's see what's behind the door," Ben said. He tried to pull the lock, but it was too hard.
+
+"Maybe we need a key," Lily said. She looked around and saw a shiny thing under a rock. She picked it up and showed it to Ben. It was a key!
+
+"Wow, you found the key!" Ben said. He took the key and put it in the lock. It fit! He turned the key and heard a click. The door opened a little bit.
+
+Ben and Lily were curious and excited. They pushed the door and saw a dark and dirty place. There were old boxes and cans and bottles. There were also spiders and rats and flies.
+
+"Yuck, this place is gross," Lily said. She wanted to go back to the yard.
+
+"Wait, maybe there's something cool here," Ben said. He saw a big chest in the corner. He thought it might have treasure inside. He walked towards the chest and opened it.
+
+But there was no treasure. There was only a loud noise and a bright flash. Ben and Lily screamed and covered their eyes. The chest was a trap! It had a firework inside that went off when Ben opened it.
+
+The noise and the flash scared the rats and the spiders and the flies. They ran and flew out of the door. They also scared Ben and Lily's mom, who heard the noise and came to see what was wrong.
+
+She saw Ben and Lily and the door and the chest and the firework. She was angry and worried. She hugged Ben and Lily and took them away from the door.
+
+"Ben and Lily, what were you doing?" she asked. "You know you're not supposed to go near the door. It's dangerous and dirty. You could have been hurt or sick."
+
+Ben and Lily felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They wanted to be honest and tell their mom the truth.
+
+"We were playing pirates and looking for treasure," Ben said. "We found the key and opened the door. We didn't know there was a trap."
+
+"We're sorry, mom," Lily said. "We won't do it again."
+
+Their mom sighed and smiled. She was glad they were honest and safe. She also had an idea.
+
+"Why don't you suggest a new game to play?" she said. "Maybe something that doesn't involve doors or traps or fireworks."
+
+Ben and Lily thought for a moment. Then they had an idea.
+
+"Let's play zoo!" they said. "We can pretend we're animals and make noises and run around."
+
+Their mom nodded and agreed. She helped them make animal masks and tails. They had fun playing zoo in the yard. They forgot about the door and the chest and the firework. They learned their lesson. They decided to be honest and careful and not go near the door again.
+Ben and Mia like to play knights and dragons. Ben has a sword made of wood. Mia has a ring made of plastic. They pretend the ring is magic and can make them fly.
+
+One day, they go to the park and find a big hill. They climb up the hill and see a cave. They think there is a dragon inside. They want to be brave and fight the dragon.
+
+They go into the cave and hear a loud roar. They see a big shadow with wings and teeth. They are scared, but they do not run away. Ben holds his sword and Mia holds her ring.
+
+The dragon comes out of the cave. It is not a real dragon. It is a thin dog with a costume. The dog is friendly and wants to play. It wags its tail and licks their faces.
+
+Ben and Mia laugh and pet the dog. They give it some of their snacks. They put the costume on themselves and pretend to be dragons. They fly around the hill with the dog. They have fun and make a new friend.
+Dan and Sam are brothers. They like to play hockey in the yard. They have sticks and a ball. They hit the ball with the sticks and try to score in the net.
+
+One day, Dan and Sam have a guest. It is their cousin, Lily. Lily is older than Dan and Sam. She says she can play hockey too. She takes a stick and joins the game.
+
+"Guess what, Lily?" Dan says. "You are weak. You cannot hit the ball hard. You cannot score on me. I am the best goalie."
+
+Lily smiles. She does not say anything. She waits for the ball. Sam passes the ball to Lily. Lily hits the ball with her stick. The ball flies fast and high. It goes over Dan's head and into the net.
+
+"Goal!" Lily shouts. "Guess what, Dan? You are wrong. I can hit the ball hard. I can score on you. You are not the best goalie."
+
+Dan is sad. He drops his stick. He does not want to play anymore. Sam is happy. He hugs Lily. He says, "You are awesome, Lily. You are the best player. Can you teach me how to hit the ball like that?"
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and help Mom and Dad. One day, Mom says, "We have a big surprise for you. We will mail a letter to Grandma and Grandpa. They live far away, but they love you very much. Do you want to help me write the letter?"
+
+Sara and Ben are glad. They love Grandma and Grandpa too. They help Mom write the letter. They draw pictures of their toys and their pets. They say, "We miss you. We hope you are well. We want to see you soon." Mom puts the letter in an envelope. She writes the address and puts a stamp on it. She says, "Now we are ready to mail the letter. Let's go to the post office."
+
+Sara and Ben put on their coats and shoes. They hold Mom's hand and walk to the post office. They see a big blue box. Mom says, "This is where we mail the letter. We put it in the slot and it goes to Grandma and Grandpa. They will be very happy when they get it." Sara and Ben help Mom put the letter in the slot. They wave goodbye to the letter. They say, "Bye bye, letter. Have a good trip. Say hello to Grandma and Grandpa."
+
+The next week, Sara and Ben are sleeping in their beds. They hear a knock on the door. Mom says, "Wake up, wake up. We have a big surprise for you. Come and see." Sara and Ben rub their eyes and get out of bed. They follow Mom to the living room. They see two big suitcases and two big smiles. They see Grandma and Grandpa. They hug them and kiss them. They say, "Grandma, Grandpa, you are here. We are so happy. We got your letter. Thank you for coming."
+
+Grandma and Grandpa say, "We are happy too. We got your letter. It was so sweet and beautiful. We wanted to see you so much. We decided to take a plane and visit you. We have a lot of fun things to do with you. We love you very much."
+
+Sara and Ben are very glad. They have the best surprise ever. They have Grandma and Grandpa. They play and talk and laugh with them. They have a wonderful time. They are a happy family.
+Tommy loved his red wagon. He liked to fill it with his toys and pull it around the yard. He also liked to play with his dog, Spot, who sometimes chased the wagon or jumped inside it.
+
+One day, Tommy's mom said, "Tommy, we are going to the park. You can bring your wagon, but you have to keep it clean. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, mom," Tommy said. He was happy to go to the park. He put his wagon in the car and got in his seat.
+
+At the park, Tommy saw a big hill. He wanted to go down the hill with his wagon. He asked his mom, "Mom, can I go down the hill with my wagon?"
+
+Mom looked at the hill. She saw that it was steep and muddy. She said, "No, Tommy, you can't go down the hill with your wagon. It is too dangerous and too messy. You can play on the swings or the slide instead."
+
+Tommy was sad. He wanted to go down the hill with his wagon. He saw some other kids going down the hill with their bikes and scooters. They looked like they were having fun. Tommy thought, "Maybe mom won't see me if I go down the hill with my wagon. Maybe it won't be so messy."
+
+Tommy waited until mom was talking to another mom. He grabbed his wagon and ran to the top of the hill. He put his wagon in front of him and got inside. He said to Spot, "Come on, Spot, let's go!" Spot barked and followed him.
+
+Tommy pushed his wagon and started to go down the hill. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughed and shouted, "Whee!" He did not see the big rock in his way. He did not see the puddle at the bottom of the hill. He did not see mom looking at him with a frown.
+
+Tommy hit the rock and flew out of his wagon. He landed in the puddle with a splash. He was wet and dirty. His wagon was broken and muddy. His toys were scattered and ruined. Spot was barking and licking him. Tommy started to cry.
+
+Mom ran to Tommy and picked him up. She said, "Tommy, are you okay? What did you do? I told you not to go down the hill with your wagon. You could have been hurt. You made a big mess. You did not listen to me."
+
+Tommy sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to have fun. I did not mean to make a mess. I did not mean to break my wagon. I love my wagon."
+
+Mom hugged Tommy and said, "I know, Tommy. I love you. But you have to listen to me. I only want what is best for you. You have to learn to obey. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, mom," Tommy said. He felt sorry and ashamed. He wished he had not gone down the hill with his wagon. He wished he had played on the swings or the slide instead. He learned his lesson. He never did that again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big tree and sit on the branch. They could see the birds and the flowers and the sky. They were happy.
+
+One day, a big storm came. The wind was loud and the rain was wet. Lily and Ben ran to the tree to hide. They climbed the branch and held each other. They were scared.
+
+The storm was too strong. The branch broke and Lily and Ben fell down. They hit the ground and it hurt. They cried and cried. They were upset.
+
+A lady came and saw them. She ran to help them. She said, "Oh, no! Are you okay? What happened?"
+
+Lily and Ben told her about the storm and the branch. The lady said, "I'm sorry. That's very sad. You need to go to the doctor. You have cuts and bruises. Come with me. I'll take you."
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to go. They wanted to stay with the tree. They loved the tree. They said, "No, no! We want the tree! We want the branch! Please, please!"
+
+But the lady did not listen. She took them by the hand and dragged them to her car. She said, "Don't be silly. The tree is gone. The branch is gone. You have to go. Now."
+
+Lily and Ben looked back at the tree. It was lonely and sad. They felt lonely and sad too. They did not like the lady. They did not like the car. They did not like the doctor. They were very upset. The end.
+Lily liked to play on the beach. She liked to make sand castles and look for shells. One day, she saw a crab on the sand. It was small and red and had big claws.
+
+Lily wanted to touch the crab. She was not afraid of it. She was independent and curious. She walked slowly to the crab and reached out her hand. The crab saw her and snapped its claws.
+
+"Ouch!" Lily said. She pulled back her hand. It hurt a lot. She started to cry. The crab ran away and hid under a rock.
+
+Mommy heard Lily cry and ran to her. She saw her hand was red and swollen. She picked up Lily and hugged her.
+
+"What happened, sweetie?" Mommy asked.
+
+"I touched a crab and it bit me," Lily said.
+
+"Oh, no. I'm sorry, honey. Crabs don't like to be touched. They are scared and defensive. You have to be careful with them," Mommy said.
+
+She took Lily to the water and washed her hand. Then she rubbed some cream on it. The cream made the pain go away.
+
+"Thank you, Mommy," Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. I love you," Mommy said.
+
+They went back to their blanket and had a snack. Lily learned a lesson. She decided not to touch crabs anymore. She was still independent and curious, but she was also respectful and careful. She played with her sand castle and her shells and had a fun day on the beach.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park near their homes. One day, they saw a pond with many ducks and fish. They wanted to feed them some bread.
+
+They ran to the pond and threw some bread into the water. The ducks and fish came to eat the bread. Lily and Ben were happy to see them. They laughed and clapped their hands.
+
+But then, a big dog came to the pond. He barked very loud and scared the ducks and fish. He wanted to chase them and catch them. Lily and Ben were afraid of the big dog. They did not want him to hurt the ducks and fish.
+
+They ran away from the pond and hid behind a tree. They whispered to each other. "What can we do?" Lily asked. "We have to make the big dog go away," Ben said.
+
+They looked around and saw a stick. Ben picked up the stick and threw it far away from the pond. The big dog saw the stick and ran after it. He forgot about the ducks and fish. He liked to play with the stick.
+
+Lily and Ben came out from behind the tree. They saw that the big dog was gone. They went back to the pond and fed the ducks and fish some more bread. They whispered to them. "We are sorry for the big dog. He was very loud and mean. We are your friends. We like you."
+
+The ducks and fish came back to the water. They ate the bread and made happy noises. They liked Lily and Ben. They were very kind and gentle. Lily and Ben smiled and hugged each other. They had a good day at the pond.
+Tom was a little bear who lived in the forest with his mama and papa. He liked to play with his friends, climb trees and eat honey. But he also liked to sleep a lot, especially in the winter.
+
+One day, Tom was sleeping in his cozy den when he heard a loud noise. He opened his eyes and saw a big bird flying over his head. The bird was making a lot of noise with its beak and wings. Tom was scared and curious. He wanted to see what the bird was doing.
+
+He got out of his den and followed the bird. He saw that the bird was flying to a big tree that had a hole in it. The bird went inside the hole and came out with something in its mouth. It looked like a nut. The bird flew away with the nut.
+
+Tom was hungry. He thought that maybe there were more nuts in the tree. He climbed the tree and looked inside the hole. He saw a lot of nuts. He reached his paw inside and grabbed one. He was happy. He ate the nut and it was yummy.
+
+But then he heard another noise. It was a growl. He turned around and saw a big squirrel. The squirrel was angry. It was his tree and his nuts. He did not like that Tom was taking his food. He jumped on Tom and bit his ear. Tom was hurt and scared. He dropped the nut and ran away. He went back to his den and cried.
+
+He wished he had stayed in his den and slept. He learned that it was not good to take things that did not belong to him. He also learned that the forest was full of surprises. Some were good and some were bad. He hoped that the next time he woke up, he would have a better day.
+Tom and Mia were playing with a long rope in the garden. They liked to make shapes and loops with the rope. Tom said, "Look, I can make a knot with the rope. It is hard and tight." Mia said, "I can make a knot too. It is soft and loose." They showed each other their knots and laughed.
+
+But then, Tom had an idea. He said, "Let's play a game. I will tie one end of the rope to the tree and you will tie the other end to the fence. Then we will run away from each other and see who can pull the rope more." Mia agreed and they tied the rope to the tree and the fence.
+
+They started to run away from each other, pulling the rope. The rope became longer and longer. Tom and Mia became smaller and smaller. They could not see each other well. They could not hear each other well. They felt distant from each other.
+
+Mia did not like the game. She felt lonely and scared. She shouted, "Tom, I don't want to play this game anymore. Let's untie the rope and play something else." But Tom did not hear her. He was having fun. He shouted, "Mia, this game is fun. Let's see who can pull the rope more."
+
+Mia started to cry. She wished she could untie the knot and run to Tom. She wished they could play together again. She wished they could be close again.
+Lily and Max liked to play dress up. They had many costumes in a big box. They could be pirates, fairies, animals, or anything they wanted. One day, they decided to be magicians. They put on red hats and capes and took out a wand and a hat.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make this ball disappear!" Max said. He put the ball in the hat and waved the wand. "Abracadabra!"
+
+He lifted the hat, but the ball was still there. He tried again, but nothing happened.
+
+"Let me try, Max," Lily said. She took the hat and the wand and put the ball in the hat. "Hocus pocus!"
+
+She lifted the hat, and the ball was gone. She smiled and clapped her hands.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you did it! How did you do that?" Max asked.
+
+Lily giggled and pointed to her cape. She had hidden the ball under her cape. She showed Max the ball and put it back in the hat.
+
+"See, Max, it's easy. You just need a good costume and a good trick," Lily said.
+
+Max nodded and smiled. He put on his cape and tried again. This time, he made the ball disappear. Lily and Max cheered and hugged. They had fun playing magicians with their red costumes.
+Mia and Leo are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch videos. Today, they are watching a video about animals. They see lions, monkeys, elephants and more. They are very enthusiastic. They clap their hands and make noises like the animals.
+
+"Look, Leo, a lion! Roar!" Mia says.
+
+"Roar! I like lions. They are big and strong," Leo says.
+
+They watch more animals. They see a giraffe with a long neck and a zebra with stripes. They see a hippo with a big mouth and a crocodile with sharp teeth.
+
+"Look, Mia, a crocodile! Snap!" Leo says.
+
+"Snap! I don't like crocodiles. They are scary and mean," Mia says.
+
+They watch more animals. They see a panda with black and white fur and a koala with a cute nose. They see a penguin with a tuxedo and a flamingo with pink feathers.
+
+"Look, Leo, a flamingo! Flap!" Mia says.
+
+"Flap! I like flamingos. They are pretty and funny," Leo says.
+
+They watch more animals. They see a bear with a honey pot and a mouse with a cheese. They see a cow with a bell and a pig with a mud.
+
+"Look, Mia, a pig! Oink!" Leo says.
+
+"Oink! I like pigs. They are pink and soft," Mia says.
+
+They watch more animals. They see a dog with a bone and a cat with a yarn. They see a bird with a worm and a fish with a bubble.
+
+"Look, Leo, a fish! Blub!" Mia says.
+
+"Blub! I like fish. They are colorful and shiny," Leo says.
+
+They watch the end of the video. They see all the animals together. They see a rainbow in the sky. They hear a song about animals.
+
+"Wow, that was a nice video. I learned a lot about animals," Mia says.
+
+"Me too. I love animals. They are all different and special," Leo says.
+
+They hug each other. They are happy. They want to watch the video again.
+
+"Can we watch the video again, please?" they ask their mom.
+
+"Sure, you can. But first, you have to taste your lunch. It's ready," their mom says.
+
+"Okay, mom. What is it?" they ask.
+
+"It's a surprise. You'll see," their mom says.
+
+They run to the kitchen. They are curious. They hope it's something yummy. They wonder what it is. They hope it's not crocodile.
+Lily and Mia are friends. They like to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Lily sees a cool bracelet on Mia's wrist. It is shiny and has many colors.
+
+"Wow, Mia, where did you get that bracelet?" Lily asks.
+
+"My mom gave it to me. She said it is very special and I should not lose it," Mia answers.
+
+"Can I try it on? Please, please, please?" Lily begs.
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She likes Lily, but she loves her bracelet. She does not want to share it. But she does not want to make Lily sad, either.
+
+"Okay, but only for a little while. And be careful with it," Mia says.
+
+Lily is happy. She takes the bracelet from Mia and puts it on her wrist. It is so pretty and cool. She feels like a princess.
+
+"Thank you, Mia. You are the best friend ever," Lily says.
+
+They play some more with their dolls and dress up. They have fun. But then, Lily hears her mom calling her.
+
+"Lily, it's time to go home. Come on, sweetie," her mom says.
+
+Lily forgets about the bracelet. She runs to her mom and gives her a hug.
+
+"Bye, Mia. See you tomorrow," Lily says.
+
+"Bye, Lily," Mia says.
+
+But Mia is not happy. She is sad and angry. She sees that Lily still has her bracelet on her wrist. She wants to get it back, but it is too late. Lily and her mom are gone.
+
+"Mia, what's wrong?" her mom asks.
+
+"Lily took my bracelet. My special bracelet. She did not give it back," Mia cries.
+
+"Oh, no. That's not good. Maybe she did not mean to. Maybe she forgot. We can call her mom and ask her to return it," her mom says.
+
+But Mia does not believe her. She thinks Lily is mean and selfish. She does not want to be her friend anymore. She feels like she lost something very important. She cries and cries. She does not know if she will ever see her bracelet again.
+Tommy and his dad were going to the park. Tommy was very enthusiastic. He loved to play on the swings and the slide. He also liked to see the ducks and the dogs.
+
+"Are we there yet, dad?" Tommy asked.
+
+"Soon, buddy, soon," his dad said. "But first, we have to stop at the store. We need to buy some steak for dinner. Mom loves steak, and so do you, right?"
+
+"Right, dad. Steak is yummy. Can I help you pick one?"
+
+"Sure, Tommy. You can help me."
+
+They parked the car and went inside the store. Tommy followed his dad to the meat section. There were many steaks to choose from. Tommy saw one that looked big and juicy.
+
+"Dad, dad, look at this one!" Tommy said, pointing at the steak. "Can we get this one?"
+
+His dad looked at the price tag. It was very expensive.
+
+"Sorry, Tommy, that one is too much money. We have to find a cheaper one."
+
+Tommy was sad. He really wanted that steak. He had an idea. He grabbed the steak and ran to the car. He opened the door and threw the steak on the seat.
+
+"Tommy, what are you doing?" his dad shouted. "That's not ours. We have to pay for it. Come back here!"
+
+But Tommy did not listen. He climbed into the car and closed the door. He saw the keys in the ignition. He turned them and the car started. He was very happy. He thought he was going to drive to the park with the steak.
+
+But he did not know how to drive. He pushed the pedals and the car moved. But it moved the wrong way. It moved backwards. It reversed into a big pile of cans. The cans fell and made a loud noise. Tommy was scared. He started to cry.
+
+His dad ran to the car and opened the door. He took the keys and the steak. He hugged Tommy and said, "It's okay, Tommy, it's okay. You're not hurt. But you did a very bad thing. You can't take things that are not yours. And you can't drive a car. You're too little. You could have hurt yourself or someone else."
+
+Tommy was sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted the steak. And I wanted to go to the park."
+
+His dad said, "I know, Tommy, I know. But you have to listen to me. And you have to follow the rules. The steak is not ours. We have to give it back. And the car is not a toy. We have to fix it. And we have to say sorry to the store people. And we have to go home. No park today."
+
+Tommy nodded. He said, "Okay, dad. I understand. I'm sorry."
+
+His dad said, "I love you, Tommy. But you have to be more careful. And more honest. And more patient. Can you do that?"
+
+Tommy said, "Yes, dad. I can do that. I love you too."
+Tim and Jen like to collect rocks. They have a big box of rocks in their room. They find rocks in the park, in the yard, and on the street. They look for rocks that are shiny, smooth, or colorful.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their dog, Rex. Rex has a leash, but Tim and Jen do not hold it. They let Rex run and play. They look for rocks on the ground. They see a big rock that is red and sparkly. They want to put it in their box.
+
+"Look, Jen, a pretty rock!" Tim says.
+
+"Let's get it, Tim!" Jen says.
+
+They run to the rock, but they do not see the car. The car is fast and loud. It comes from the street. It does not see Tim and Jen. It does not see Rex. Rex sees the car. He barks and runs to Tim and Jen. He tries to pull them away from the car. But he is too late. The car hits Tim and Jen and Rex. They fall and bleed. They do not move.
+
+The car stops. The driver gets out. He is scared and sorry. He calls for help. He sees the rock. He sees the leash. He sees the box of rocks. He cries.
+
+Tim and Jen and Rex do not collect rocks anymore. They are gone. The box of rocks is empty and sad.
+
+The moral of the story is: Always hold the leash when you walk your dog. Always look both ways before you cross the street. Do not run after things that are not important. Be careful and safe.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw big clouds in the sky. They heard loud noises and saw flashes of light. It was a storm!
+
+"Let's go inside, Ben!" Sam said. "It is not safe to play outside in a storm!"
+
+But Ben did not listen. He wanted to play with his ball. He said, "No, Sam! I want to play! The storm is fun!"
+
+Sam was scared. He ran inside the house and told Mom. Mom was worried. She said, "Where is Ben? He should not be outside in a storm!"
+
+She went outside and called for Ben. But Ben did not hear her. He was too busy playing with his ball. He kicked the ball hard and it flew away. He ran after it.
+
+The storm was getting worse. The wind was strong and the rain was heavy. Ben could not see well. He lost his ball. He was sad and cold and wet. He wanted to go home.
+
+He looked around and saw an empty house. He thought, "Maybe I can hide there until the storm is over." He ran to the house and opened the door.
+
+But the house was not empty. It was full of angry dogs. They barked and growled at Ben. They did not like strangers. They wanted to bite him.
+
+Ben was terrified. He screamed, "Help! Help! Mom! Sam!"
+
+Mom and Sam heard him. They ran to the house and saw the dogs. They were brave. They scared the dogs away and rescued Ben.
+
+They hugged him and took him home. They gave him warm clothes and a hot drink. They were glad he was safe.
+
+But they were also angry. They said, "Ben, you were very naughty. You did not listen to us. You put yourself in danger. You could have been hurt by the storm or the dogs. You also lost your ball. You should not play outside in a storm. You should spend time with your family. They love you and care for you."
+
+Ben was sorry. He said, "I am sorry, Mom. I am sorry, Sam. You are right. I was very naughty. I did not listen to you. I put myself in danger. I lost my ball. I should not play outside in a storm. I should spend time with my family. They love me and care for me. I love you too. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Mom and Sam smiled. They said, "Of course we forgive you, Ben. We are happy you are okay. But you have to promise us to never do that again. You have to be careful and obedient. You have to respect the weather and the animals. You have to value what you have. You have to learn from your mistakes."
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "I promise, Mom. I promise, Sam. I will be careful and obedient. I will respect the weather and the animals. I will value what I have. I will learn from my mistakes. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for loving me."
+
+They hugged him again. They said, "You are welcome, Ben. We are proud of you. You are a good boy. We love you very much."
+
+The storm was over. The sun came out. They saw a rainbow in the sky. They smiled and went outside to play. They were happy. They were a family.
+Sam and Mia were playing outside at night. They liked to look at the stars and the moon. Sometimes they saw a shooting star and made a wish.
+
+"Look, look!" Mia said. "There is a big star with a tail. It is so bright and fast."
+
+Sam leaned over to see what Mia was pointing at. He saw the star with a tail too. He knew it was not a star, but a comet. He had learned that word from a book.
+
+"That is a comet, Mia. It is a big rock that flies in the sky. It is very rare to see one," Sam said.
+
+"Wow, a comet. It is so pretty. Can we make a wish on it?" Mia asked.
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He wanted to make a wish, but he also wanted to tell Mia the truth.
+
+"Mia, I have to tell you something serious. You can make a wish on a shooting star, but not on a comet. A comet is different. It does not mean anything. It is just a rock," Sam said.
+
+Mia looked at Sam with big eyes. She was sad and confused. She liked to make wishes on stars. She did not like rocks.
+
+"But Sam, I want to make a wish. Why can't I make a wish on a comet? It is so pretty. It looks like a star," Mia said.
+
+Sam felt sorry for Mia. He did not want to make her sad. He wanted to make her happy. He thought of a way to cheer her up.
+
+"Mia, you can make a wish on anything you want. It does not matter if it is a star or a comet or a rock. What matters is what you wish for. If you wish for something good and kind and true, it will come true. Do you want to make a wish with me?" Sam said.
+
+Mia smiled and nodded. She liked Sam's idea. She liked to wish for good and kind and true things.
+
+"Okay, Sam. Let's make a wish together. On the count of three, we will close our eyes and say our wish. Ready?" Mia said.
+
+"Ready," Sam said.
+
+They closed their eyes and said their wish.
+
+"One, two, three. I wish..."
+
+The comet flew across the sky, leaving a trail of light behind. Sam and Mia did not see it. They only saw their wish in their hearts.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they found a big drain in the grass. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's go in and see," Tom said. He held Lily's hand and they walked to the drain.
+
+"Be careful," Lily said. "It looks dark and cold."
+
+They climbed down the drain. It was dark and cold. They saw many bugs and rats. They were scared.
+
+"Let's go back," Lily said. She pulled Tom's hand and they ran to the drain.
+
+But the drain was closed. Someone had put a lid on it. They could not get out. They cried and yelled for help.
+
+After a long time, they heard a voice. It was Lily's mom. She had come to look for them. She lifted the lid and saw them.
+
+"Oh, Lily, Tom, what are you doing here?" she asked. She hugged them and pulled them out of the drain.
+
+"We were playing and we went in the drain," Lily said. "But then we could not get out. We were so scared."
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Tom said. "We were curious. We won't do it again."
+
+Lily's mom was angry and relieved. She took them home and gave them a bath and some cookies. She told them to never go in the drain again.
+
+Lily and Tom said they were sorry. They hugged each other and said they were still best friends.
+
+"Maybe we can marry when we grow up," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe," Lily said. "But only if you don't take me to the drain again."
+Lily wanted a haircut. Her hair was long and messy. It got in her eyes and mouth. She asked her mom to take her to the salon. Her mom said yes, but they had to wait for her dad.
+
+Lily was bored. She looked around the house for something to do. She saw her dad's bike in the garage. She wanted to try it. She was not lazy like her dad. She was brave and curious.
+
+She took the bike outside. She climbed on the seat. She tried to balance. She pushed the pedals. The bike moved a little. She smiled. She pushed harder. The bike moved faster. She laughed.
+
+But then she saw a big rock. She did not know how to stop. She screamed. The bike hit the rock. Lily flew off the seat. She landed on the grass. She was not hurt, but she was scared.
+
+Her mom and dad heard her scream. They ran outside. They saw Lily and the bike. They were angry and worried. They hugged Lily and checked her for injuries. They scolded her for taking the bike without permission.
+
+Lily was sorry. She said she just wanted to have fun. She said she still wanted a haircut. Her mom and dad sighed. They said they would take her to the salon later. But first, they had to fix the bike. And Lily had to promise to never do that again.
+Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. They have a big box of cars. They have red cars, blue cars, yellow cars and more. They make noises when they play. Vroom, vroom, vroom!
+
+One day, they find a new car in the box. It is a white car with black stripes. It looks very fast. Sam and Tom both want the car. They start to fight. "It is mine!" Sam says. "No, it is mine!" Tom says. They pull the car from each other. They are angry.
+
+Mom hears them fight. She comes to the room. She sees the car. She knows it is not their car. It is her car. It is a special car. It has cream inside. The cream is for her cake. She is making a cake for Dad's birthday. She is not happy.
+
+"Boys, what are you doing?" Mom asks. "This is not your car. This is my car. You are making a mess. Look at the cream. It is everywhere. You are ruining the cake. You are naughty."
+
+Sam and Tom stop fighting. They look at the car. They see the cream. It is on the car. It is on the floor. It is on their clothes. It is on their faces. They feel uncomfortable. They are sticky and wet. They are sorry.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry," Sam and Tom say. "We did not know. We thought it was a toy car. We wanted to speed with it. We did not mean to make a mess."
+
+Mom sighs. She is sad. She takes the car. She throws it in the trash. She takes the boys. She puts them in the bath. She washes them. She tells them to say sorry to Dad. She tells them to be good. She tells them to share. She tells them to not touch her things.
+
+Sam and Tom say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to Dad. They are good. They share. They do not touch Mom's things. But they do not have a cake. They do not have a white car. They do not have fun. They have a bad day.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. Lily had a cool hat with a feather and Ben had a knife made of wood.
+
+"Arrr, matey, where is the gold?" Ben asked, waving his knife.
+
+"Over there, by the big tree!" Lily said, pointing. "But we have to be careful, there might be a dragon guarding it!"
+
+They ran to the tree and dug a hole with their hands. They found a shiny box with a lock.
+
+"Wow, this must be it!" Ben said. "How do we open it?"
+
+Lily looked around and saw a key hanging from a branch. She climbed up and grabbed it.
+
+"Here, try this!" she said, throwing the key to Ben.
+
+Ben caught the key and put it in the lock. He turned it and heard a click. He opened the box and saw a lot of coins and jewels.
+
+"Yay, we did it!" he said. "We are rich!"
+
+Lily jumped down and hugged him. They looked at their treasure and smiled.
+
+"We are the best pirates ever!" she said. "Do you believe it?"
+
+"I do, I do!" Ben said. "But don't tell anyone, okay? It's our secret!"
+
+They nodded and buried the box again. They ran back to the house, happy and proud. They believed they had found the most amazing treasure in the world.
+Jill and Tom were at the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many fish and shells and crabs. They were happy and calm.
+
+One day, they saw something new in the water. It was big and round and clear, with long thin things hanging from it. It looked like a balloon. "What is that?" Jill asked. "That is a jellyfish," Mom said. "It is a kind of animal, but it can sting you if you touch it. You have to be careful and stay away from it."
+
+Jill and Tom nodded. They did not want to get stung. They watched the jellyfish from a distance. It moved slowly and softly in the waves. It looked calm too. "Can we act like jellyfish?" Tom asked. "Sure, you can act like jellyfish," Mom said. "But only on the sand, not in the water."
+
+Jill and Tom lay down on the sand. They made their arms and legs like the long thin things of the jellyfish. They moved them up and down and side to side. They pretended to float and drift. They giggled and had fun. They acted like jellyfish.
+
+But they did not see the big wave coming. It was fast and strong and loud. It crashed on the shore and swept over them. It lifted them up and carried them away. They screamed and cried. They were scared and not calm.
+
+Mom and Dad saw the wave and ran to help them. They grabbed them and pulled them back to the sand. They hugged them and checked them. They were wet and shaken, but not hurt. They were safe and calm.
+
+"Are you okay?" Mom asked. "Yes, we are okay," Jill and Tom said. "But we don't want to act like jellyfish anymore." "That's a good idea," Dad said. "Jellyfish belong in the water, not on the sand. And you belong with us, not with the wave. Let's go and have some ice cream." They all smiled and agreed. They went and had some ice cream. They were happy and calm.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat snacks. One day, their mom gives them a big bowl of yogurt and two spoons. She says, "Eat your yogurt, please. It is good for you."
+
+Anna and Ben sit on the floor and start to eat. They dip their spoons in the yogurt and put it in their mouths. But they also make a lot of noise and mess. They slurp and spill and laugh. They get yogurt on their faces, clothes, and hair. They also get yogurt on the floor, the wall, and the sofa.
+
+Their mom comes back and sees the messy scene. She is not happy. She says, "Oh, no! What have you done? You made a big mess. You need to clean up right now."
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They are not sorry. They think it is funny. They say, "But mom, we are not done. We still have yogurt in the bowl. We want to complete our snack."
+
+Their mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you have had enough. You need to stop and help me. Here are some napkins. Wipe your faces and hands. Then pick up the spoons and the bowl. And say sorry to me and the sofa."
+
+Anna and Ben do what their mom says. They wipe their faces and hands. They pick up the spoons and the bowl. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, sofa." They still giggle a little. They think yogurt is fun. But they also love their mom. They give her a hug and a kiss. Their mom smiles and hugs them back. She says, "I love you, my messy twins. But next time, please be more careful."
+Anna and Ben wanted to see Santa. They knew he came at night and gave gifts to good kids. They had a plan. They would stay awake and hide near the chimney. They hoped Santa would come down the chimney and they could say hello.
+
+They waited and waited in the dark. They heard some noises outside. They thought it was Santa and his reindeer. They got excited and whispered to each other.
+
+"Shh, Ben, I think he is here!" Anna said.
+
+"Let's go and see him, Anna!" Ben said.
+
+They crawled out of their hiding spot and went to the fireplace. They knelt on the floor and looked up the chimney. But they saw nothing. It was too dark and too high. They felt frustrated and sad.
+
+"Where is Santa, Anna? Why can't we see him?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe he is too fast. Maybe he is too shy. Maybe he is too busy." Anna said.
+
+They heard a loud thump on the roof. They jumped and gasped. They thought Santa had landed. They looked up the chimney again. But they still saw nothing. They heard some jingle bells and a ho ho ho. They smiled and clapped. They thought Santa had left.
+
+"Bye bye, Santa! Thank you for the gifts!" Anna and Ben shouted.
+
+They ran to their beds and snuggled under the covers. They dreamed of Santa and his gifts. They did not know that Santa had seen them and smiled. He had left a note for them on the fireplace. It said:
+
+"Dear Anna and Ben,
+
+I am sorry I missed you. You are very brave and clever. But you should not stay up so late. You need to sleep and rest. I hope you like your gifts. They are under the tree. Merry Christmas and sweet dreams.
+
+Love, Santa."
+Tim and Sue are playing in the park. They see a big pile of leaves. They want to jump in it. They run to the pile and gather some leaves in their arms. They throw the leaves in the air and laugh.
+
+But then they hear a loud growl. They look at the pile and see a hairy face. It is a big dog. The dog is angry. It does not like them playing with its leaves. It barks and shows its teeth. Tim and Sue are in shock. They drop the leaves and run away.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cry. "There is a big dog in the leaves!"
+
+Mom and Dad hear them. They come to the park. They see the dog. It is not a big dog. It is a small dog. It is a poodle. It has a lot of curly hair. It looks funny.
+
+Mom and Dad laugh. They are not scared. They pet the dog. The dog is friendly. It wags its tail. It likes them.
+
+"Tim and Sue, this is not a big dog. This is a poodle. It is a nice dog. It just wanted to play with you." Mom says.
+
+Tim and Sue look at the dog. They feel silly. They are not in shock anymore. They smile.
+
+"Can we play with the poodle, Mom?" Sue asks.
+
+"Sure, if the owner says it is okay." Mom says.
+
+They see a lady coming. She is the owner of the poodle. She is sorry for the scare. She says they can play with the poodle. She says its name is Fluffy.
+
+Tim and Sue say sorry to Fluffy. They pet Fluffy. They play with Fluffy. They have fun. They are happy. They forget about the leaves.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They pretended to make juice with the water and the flowers. They poured and mixed and tasted their juice.
+
+"Try my juice, Lily. It is very good," Ben said. He gave Lily a cup of water with some yellow flowers.
+
+Lily took the cup and smelled it. She made a face. "No, thank you, Ben. Your juice is wet and yucky. I like my juice better. It has pink flowers and leaves," she said. She showed Ben her cup of water with some pink flowers and leaves.
+
+Ben looked at Lily's cup. He did not like pink flowers and leaves. He thought they were boring and sour. He wanted Lily to like his juice. He had an idea.
+
+"Lily, let's trade our juice. Then we can both try something new. Maybe you will like my juice and I will like your juice. Will you accept my juice?" he asked.
+
+Lily thought about it. She did not want to hurt Ben's feelings. She also wanted to be nice and try something new. She nodded.
+
+"OK, Ben. I will accept your juice and you can accept my juice. But only one sip, OK?" she said.
+
+They traded their cups and took a sip of each other's juice. They both made a face. They did not like each other's juice at all. They spit out the water and laughed.
+
+"Your juice is wet and yucky, Ben!" Lily said.
+
+"Your juice is wet and yucky, Lily!" Ben said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. They did not mind. They were still friends. They dumped their juice and filled their cups with fresh water. They decided to make new juice with different flowers and leaves. They had fun playing in the garden.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to draw with ink and paper. One day, they find a big ink bottle in the park. They are happy and want to draw more.
+
+But the ink bottle is dark and heavy. They cannot open it. They try to twist and pull, but nothing happens. They are sad and angry.
+
+"Who put this ink here?" Lila asks. "Why is it so hard to open?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe someone wanted to hide it. Maybe it is a secret ink."
+
+They look at the ink bottle. It has a strange shape and a funny label. They cannot read the words, but they see a picture of a lock and a key.
+
+"Maybe we need a key to open it," Lila says. "Maybe the key is somewhere in the park."
+
+"Let's look for it," Tom says. "Maybe we can solve the puzzle and get the ink."
+
+They start to search the park. They look under the rocks, behind the trees, in the trash cans. They do not find the key, but they find many other things. They find a ball, a hat, a book, a toy car.
+
+They forget about the ink bottle. They have fun playing with the things they find. They make up stories and games. They laugh and smile.
+
+The sun goes down and the sky turns dark. Lila and Tom hear their mothers calling them. They run to them and hug them.
+
+"Did you have a good time?" their mothers ask.
+
+"Yes, we did," Lila and Tom say. "We found many things in the park. We played and solved puzzles."
+
+They show their mothers the things they found. Their mothers are happy and proud.
+
+They do not remember the ink bottle. They leave it in the park. Maybe someone else will find it and solve the puzzle. Maybe not. It does not matter. They had a good time. They are friends.
+Lila and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big temple made of stones and wood. They wanted to see what was inside, so they ran to the temple and opened the door.
+
+"Wow, look at all the colors and pictures!" Lila said. She saw paintings of animals and people on the walls. Sam saw a shiny statue of a man with a crown and a sword. He wanted to touch it, so he walked to the statue and reached out his hand.
+
+"Sam, don't!" Lila shouted. "That might be dangerous!" But it was too late. As soon as Sam touched the statue, a loud noise came from the temple. The door slammed shut and the lights went out. Lila and Sam were scared and tried to find the door, but they could not see anything.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cried. "We are stuck in the temple!"
+
+Outside, a man heard their cries. He was the keeper of the temple. He ran to the door and opened it with a key. He saw Lila and Sam huddled in the dark. He picked them up and carried them outside.
+
+"Are you okay, children?" he asked. "What were you doing in the temple?"
+
+"We were just looking, sir," Lila said. "We didn't mean to touch anything."
+
+"You should not have entered the temple," the man said. "It is very old and has many secrets. Sometimes, things disappear when you touch them. You are lucky I heard you and came to save you."
+
+Lila and Sam felt sorry and thanked the man. They promised to never go inside the temple again. They ran back to the park and played with their toys. They were happy to be out of the hot and dark temple. They learned to be careful and respectful of old and mysterious places.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a fat cat in the park. The cat is black and white. It has a red collar. The cat looks at them and runs away.
+
+"Let's go after the cat!" Lily says. "Maybe it has a mystery."
+
+Tom nods. He likes mysteries. They run after the cat. The cat is fast. It jumps over a fence. Lily and Tom follow it. They see a big house. The house is old and dark. The cat goes inside the house.
+
+"Wow, look at that house!" Tom says. "It is scary."
+
+Lily is not scared. She is curious. She wants to see the cat. She wants to see the mystery. She says, "Come on, Tom. Let's go inside the house."
+
+Tom is not sure. He thinks the house is spooky. He thinks the cat is hiding something. He says, "OK, Lily. But we have to be careful."
+
+They go inside the house. They look for the cat. They see many rooms. They see many things. They see a sofa, a table, a lamp, a book, a clock, a picture, a doll, a hat, a coat, a shoe, a cup, a cake, a flower, a bird, a fish, a ball, a toy, a car, a bike, a plane, a train, a boat, a rocket, a star, a moon, a sun, a rainbow, a cloud, a tree, a leaf, a grass, a bug, a frog, a dog, a pig, a cow, a horse, a lion, a tiger, a bear, a monkey, a panda, a penguin, a elephant, a giraffe, a zebra, a snake, a turtle, a crocodile, a dinosaur, a dragon, a unicorn, a fairy, a princess, a prince, a king, a queen, a knight, a pirate, a witch, a wizard, a ghost, a vampire, a zombie, a skeleton, a monster, a alien, a robot, a superhero, a villain, a ninja, a samurai, a cowboy, a indian, a policeman, a fireman, a doctor, a nurse, a teacher, a student, a chef, a baker, a painter, a singer, a dancer, a actor, a clown, a magician, a astronaut, a explorer, a scientist, a inventor, a writer, a reader, a friend, a family, a love, a hug, a kiss, a smile, a laugh, a cry, a hello, a goodbye, a thank you, a sorry, a please, a yes, a no, a maybe, a never, a always, a sometimes, a often, a rarely, a big, a small, a tall, a short, a fat, a thin, a young, a old, a new, a old, a hot, a cold, a warm, a cool, a wet, a dry, a clean, a dirty, a light, a dark, a bright, a dull, a loud, a quiet, a fast, a slow, a hard, a soft, a smooth, a rough, a heavy, a light, a full, a empty, a happy, a sad, a angry, a calm, a brave, a scared, a silly, a smart, a good, a bad, a nice, a mean, a fun, a boring, a beautiful, a ugly, a red, a orange, a yellow, a green, a blue, a purple, a pink, a brown, a black, a white, a gray, a gold, a silver, a rainbow, a one, a two, a three, a four, a five, a six, a seven, a eight, a nine, a ten, a hundred, a thousand, a million, a billion, a trillion, a zero, a first, a second, a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh, a eighth, a ninth, a tenth, a last, a before, a after, a above, a below, a over, a under, a in, a out, a on, a off, a up, a down, a left, a right, a front, a back, a side, a middle, a top, a bottom, a corner, a edge, a center, a circle, a square, a triangle, a rectangle, a star, a heart, a diamond, a oval, a line, a dot, a curve, a angle, a shape, a size, a color, a number, a letter, a word, a sentence, a question, a answer, a story, a mystery, a
+Jenny liked to play with books. She had many books in her room. Some books had pictures, some books had stories, and some books had hard words. Jenny's favorite book was the dictionary. It was big and heavy and had many pages. Jenny liked to look at the letters and try to say the words.
+
+One day, Jenny wanted to show her dictionary to her friend Tom. She carried the book to the living room, where Tom was waiting. But the book was too heavy for Jenny. She tripped on the rug and dropped the book. The book opened and many pages flew out. The pages scattered all over the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Jenny cried. "My book is broken!"
+
+Tom looked at the mess. He saw the pages with the letters and the words. He had an idea. He picked up a page and said, "Look, Jenny, this is a soft word. It says 'fluffy'. Fluffy means something that is soft and nice to touch. Like your teddy bear."
+
+Jenny smiled. She picked up another page and said, "And this is a hard word. It says 'crunchy'. Crunchy means something that is hard and makes a noise when you bite it. Like your apple."
+
+Jenny and Tom had fun finding soft words and hard words on the pages. They forgot about the broken book. They made a game of matching the words with the things they knew.
+
+Jenny's mom came into the living room. She saw the book and the pages on the floor. She was not happy. She said, "Jenny, what did you do to your dictionary? You ruined it!"
+
+Jenny and Tom looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were playing with the words. We didn't mean to break the book."
+
+Jenny's mom sighed. She said, "I know you like books, Jenny, but you have to be careful with them. Books are not toys. They are treasures. They have many wonderful words that you can learn and use. But you have to treat them with respect and care. Do you understand?"
+
+Jenny and Tom nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We're sorry."
+
+Jenny's mom smiled. She said, "It's okay. I'm glad you like words. Words are powerful and beautiful. They can make you happy and smart. But you have to use them wisely and kindly. Do you understand?"
+
+Jenny and Tom nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We're sorry."
+
+Jenny's mom hugged them. She said, "It's okay. I love you. Come on, let's clean up this mess and find you another book to read. Maybe a book with pictures and stories. And maybe a book with soft words and hard words. But not a book with too many pages."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide, but there is a problem. The slide is not free. They have to pay a price. The price is one cookie.
+
+Anna and Ben do not have any cookies. They are sad. They look around. They see a lady with a basket. The basket has many cookies. The lady is not looking. Anna and Ben have an idea. They run to the basket. They take two cookies. They are happy.
+
+But the lady sees them. She is angry. She shouts at them. She wants her cookies back. Anna and Ben are scared. They run away. They escape from the lady. They go to the slide. They give one cookie to the man. The man lets them go on the slide. The slide is fun. Anna and Ben are happy.
+
+They eat the other cookie. They share it. They are friends. They say thank you to the man. They say sorry to the lady. The lady is not angry anymore. She gives them two more cookies. She is nice. Anna and Ben are happy. They have four cookies. They have a good day.
+Sara and Ben were playing pirates in the backyard. They had a big cardboard box that they pretended was their ship. They also had a map that showed them where to find a treasure. Sara was the captain and Ben was the first mate.
+
+"Ahoy, matey!" Sara said. "Are you ready to perform our pirate song?"
+
+"Aye, aye, captain!" Ben said. "Let's sing it loud and proud!"
+
+They sang their pirate song, which was about sailing the seas, finding gold and jewels, and fighting other pirates. They had fun making up silly words and rhymes.
+
+When they finished their song, Sara looked at the map. "The treasure is under the big tree," she said. "Let's go dig it up!"
+
+They grabbed their shovels and ran to the tree. They started to dig a hole in the dirt. They hoped to find something shiny and sparkly.
+
+But as they dug, they heard a hiss. They saw a snake in the hole. They screamed and dropped their shovels. They ran back to their box.
+
+"Help, help!" Sara said. "There's a snake in the treasure!"
+
+"Don't worry, don't worry!" Ben said. "It's just a harmless snake. It won't hurt us."
+
+"How do you know?" Sara asked.
+
+"Because I saw it before," Ben said. "It's a garter snake. It's small and green and has stripes. It likes to eat bugs and worms. It's not scary at all."
+
+"Are you sure?" Sara asked.
+
+"Yes, I'm sure," Ben said. "Come on, let's go see it. Maybe it will be our friend."
+
+Sara and Ben went back to the hole. They saw the snake again. It looked at them with its small eyes. It flicked its tongue.
+
+"Hello, snake," Sara said. "We're sorry we disturbed you. We were looking for a treasure."
+
+The snake hissed again. But it didn't bite or coil. It seemed curious.
+
+"Maybe the snake is the treasure," Ben said. "Maybe it's a magic snake that can grant wishes."
+
+"Really?" Sara said. "That would be awesome. What would you wish for?"
+
+"I would wish for more pirate adventures," Ben said. "And you?"
+
+"I would wish for more pirate songs," Sara said. "And maybe a pirate hat."
+
+They smiled at each other. They decided to share the treasure with the snake. They named it Stripey. They sang another pirate song for it. The snake seemed to like it. It wagged its tail.
+
+They had a lot of fun with their new friend. They forgot about the gold and jewels. They realized that the best treasure was their imagination.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play outside. He liked to pick flowers and rocks and bugs. He liked to make mud pies and splash in puddles. He liked to explore and find new things.
+
+One day, he saw a big drain near the road. He wondered what was inside. He ran to the drain and looked down. He saw some water and some trash. He also saw something shiny. He wanted to see what it was.
+
+He reached his hand into the drain and felt around. He touched something hard and round. He pulled it out. It was a coin. He was happy. He looked at the coin and saw a face and some words. He did not know what they meant.
+
+He put the coin in his mouth and bit it. He wanted to taste it. He made a face. It was bitter. He did not like it. He spit it out. He threw the coin away. He ran back to his house. He wanted some juice and a cookie. He did not want to play with the drain anymore. He learned that some things are not good to eat.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had a pink dress, long hair and a smile. Lily took Anna everywhere she went.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily brought Anna with her. She saw a big slide, a swing and a sandbox. She wanted to try them all. She ran to the slide and climbed up. She put Anna on her lap and slid down. Whee!
+
+But when she reached the bottom, she saw that Anna's dress was torn and her hair was tangled. Lily felt sad. She hugged Anna and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. You are broken. I love you."
+
+Then she heard a voice. "Hello, can I play with you?" It was a boy who was holding a toy car. He had short hair and a cap. He looked friendly.
+
+Lily looked at him and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. This is Anna. She is broken."
+
+The boy smiled and said, "I'm Ben. This is Max. He is broken too." He showed her his toy car. It had a missing wheel and a dent.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and then at their toys. They decided to play together. They took turns on the slide and the swing. They made a castle in the sandbox. They pretended that Anna and Max were friends too.
+
+They had a lot of fun. They did not mind that their toys were broken. They were happy to meet each other. They were quiet and nice. They became friends.

+
+Tom and Lily go to her room and sit on the floor. Tom takes out his robot toy and says, "Look, this is my robot. It can talk and move and light up." He turns on his robot and makes it say, "Hello, Lily. I am Tom's robot. Nice to meet you."
+
+Lily is amazed and says, "Wow, your robot is so cool. Can I play with it?" Tom nods and says, "Sure, you can. But be careful, it is fragile."
+
+Lily takes the robot and holds it gently. She feels curious and excited. She makes it say, "Hello, Tom. I am Lily's robot. I like you." She makes it move and light up. She says, "This is so fun. Thank you for sharing your robot with me."

+Tom and Lily play with the robot for a long time. They feel happy and friendly. They are ready to have more adventures with their robot. They are good friends.
+Anna loved to visit the zoo with her mom. She liked to see all the different animals and learn their names. Her favorite animal was the hippo, because it was big and round and had a funny nose. She always wanted to feed the hippo some carrots, but her mom said it was not allowed.
+
+One day, Anna saw a wealthy man at the zoo. He wore a shiny suit and a big hat. He had a lot of money and a big camera. He wanted to take a picture of the hippo, but the hippo was sleeping in the water. The man was angry and shouted at the zookeeper.
+
+"Hey, you! Lift that hippo out of the water! I paid a lot of money to see it! Hurry up!"
+
+The zookeeper was scared and tried to explain that he could not lift the hippo. The hippo was too heavy and too strong. It would be dangerous and hurtful for the hippo and the zookeeper. But the man did not listen. He threw some money at the zookeeper and said he would sue him if he did not do what he wanted.
+
+The zookeeper did not know what to do. He looked at the money and then at the hippo. He felt sorry for the hippo, but he also needed the money. He decided to try to lift the hippo with a big crane. He hoped the hippo would not wake up or get angry.
+
+Anna saw what was happening and ran to the hippo's enclosure. She shouted at the man and the zookeeper.
+
+"Stop! Stop! You are being mean to the hippo! The hippo is happy in the water! You cannot lift the hippo! It is wrong!"
+
+The man and the zookeeper ignored Anna. They thought she was just a silly girl. They continued with their plan. The zookeeper attached a big rope to the crane and lowered it over the hippo. He tried to wrap the rope around the hippo's body.
+
+But the hippo was not sleeping. The hippo felt the rope and woke up. The hippo was angry and scared. The hippo opened its mouth and bit the rope. The rope snapped and the crane swung back. The crane hit the man and knocked him down. His camera broke and his hat flew away. The man was hurt and embarrassed. He cried and ran away.
+
+The hippo roared and splashed in the water. The hippo was free and happy. The zookeeper was ashamed and sorry. He apologized to the hippo and to Anna. He said he would never do that again. He gave the money back to Anna and told her to buy some carrots for the hippo.
+
+Anna smiled and thanked the zookeeper. She bought some carrots and fed them to the hippo. The hippo ate the carrots and licked Anna's hand. The hippo liked Anna and Anna liked the hippo. They became friends. Anna's mom took a picture of them and said it was the best picture ever.
+Anna likes to play with her toys. She has a yellow bus that can open and close its doors. She also has many stickers of animals and flowers. She likes to attach the stickers to the bus and make it look pretty.
+
+One day, Anna wants to show her bus to her friend Ben. She puts the bus in her backpack and goes to his house. Ben is happy to see Anna and her bus. He says, "Wow, your bus is very yellow and has many stickers. Can I play with it?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, you can play with it, but be careful. Do not take off the stickers. They are my bus's friends." Ben nods and takes the bus. He opens and closes the doors and makes vroom-vroom sounds. He likes the bus a lot.
+
+But then, Ben sees a sticker of a lion on the bus. He thinks the lion is scary and does not belong on the bus. He tries to peel off the sticker, but it is stuck very hard. He pulls and pulls, but the sticker does not come off. He makes a hole in the bus and the sticker tears.
+
+Anna sees what Ben is doing and gets very angry. She says, "Ben, what are you doing? You are hurting my bus and my lion. Give me back my bus!" She snatches the bus from Ben and hugs it. She sees the hole and the torn sticker and starts to cry.
+
+Ben feels sorry and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I did not mean to hurt your bus and your lion. I just did not like the lion. Can you forgive me?" Anna looks at Ben and sees that he is sad. She says, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, do not take off my stickers. They are my bus's friends." Ben says, "Okay, Anna. I promise. Can we still be friends?" Anna says, "Yes, we can still be friends. Do you want to play with something else?" Ben says, "Yes, please. Do you have any other toys?" Anna says, "Yes, I do. Come, I'll show you." They go to Anna's backpack and find more toys to play with. They forget about the bus and the lion and have fun together.
+Mark was a boy who liked to draw. He had many colors of mark pens. He liked to mark on paper, on walls, on books, and on his vest. His vest was his favorite thing to wear. It was blue and had a big star on the back.
+
+One day, Mark was playing with his mark pens in his room. He wanted to make his vest more pretty. He took a red mark pen and marked a big heart on the front of his vest. He smiled and said, "Now my vest is more pretty!"

+
+His mom saw his vest and gasped. "Mark, what did you do to your vest? It's all marked up!" She was very angry. She took his vest and said, "You can't wear this! It's ruined!"
+
+Mark felt very sad. He loved his vest. He did not want to lose it. He said, "But mom, I made it more pretty! I marked a heart on it!"
+
+His mom shook her head. "No, Mark, you made it more messy. You can't mark on your vest. It's not for marking. It's for wearing. You have to be careful with your mark pens. They can make a lot of trouble."
+
+Mark was very sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't mark on my vest again. Can I have it back?"
+
+His mom sighed. She was still angry, but she was also worried. She did not want to make Mark too sad. She said, "Maybe, Mark. But first you have to help me clean it. And you have to put away your mark pens. And you have to promise me you will only mark on paper from now on."
+
+Mark nodded. He said, "I promise, mom. I will only mark on paper. And I will help you clean my vest. And I will put away my mark pens."
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "Okay, Mark. That's good. Come on, let's go to the laundry room. Maybe we can save your vest. And then we can go to the park."
+
+Mark hugged his mom. He said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my vest."
+
+His mom hugged him back. She said, "I love you too, Mark. And I love your vest too. Even if it's a little marked up."

+
+"They are so shiny and pretty," Ben says.

+Ben and Lily were playing in the bath. They liked to make bubbles with the soap. They had a big bottle of soap that their mom gave them. They poured some soap in the water and stirred it with their hands.
+
+"Look, bubbles!" Lily said. She blew on the bubbles and they flew in the air. Ben laughed and tried to catch them.
+
+"More bubbles!" Ben said. He reached for the bottle of soap. But it was too far away. He leaned over the edge of the tub and stretched his arm. He touched the bottle with his fingers.
+
+"Be careful, Ben!" Lily said. She saw that Ben was going to fall. She grabbed his shirt and tried to pull him back. But she was too small and Ben was too heavy. They both fell out of the tub with a splash.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Ben and Lily said. They were wet and soapy and cold. They looked at each other and started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the bathroom. She saw Ben and Lily on the floor. She saw the water and the soap and the bubbles. She was not happy.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked. She picked up Ben and Lily and wrapped them in towels. She dried them and hugged them.
+
+"We wanted more bubbles," Ben said. "But I fell and Lily fell too."
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Lily said. "I tried to pull him back."
+
+Mom sighed. She was not angry, but she was worried. She checked Ben and Lily for bumps and bruises. They were fine, just wet and soapy.
+
+"You are lucky you didn't hurt yourselves," Mom said. "Bubbles are fun, but you have to be careful. Next time, ask me for help if you can't reach something."
+
+"Okay, Mom," Ben and Lily said. They felt sorry for making a mess. They also felt lucky for having a mom who loved them. They gave her a kiss and said, "We love you, Mom."
+

+
+Tim does not listen. He takes a bite of the apple. He feels something move in his mouth. He spits out the apple. He sees a worm on the ground. He says, "Yuck, Lily, you are right! It is rot. It has bugs in it. I don't like it. It is gross."
+
+Lily says, "I told you, Tim, don't eat it! It is not good for you. It can make you sick. Come, let's find a good apple. A good apple is red and hard. It does not have bugs in it. It is yummy."

+"Are you okay, Sue?" Mom asked.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted the coin. It was so light and pretty," Sue said.
+

+
+Sue nodded. She felt sorry and ashamed. She hugged Mom and said, "I love you, Mom. Thank you for saving me."

+Ben likes to play with his toys. He has cars, trains, dolls and blocks. He also has a wire. It is long and thin and shiny. He can bend it and twist it and make shapes with it.
+
+One day, Ben finds a small box in his room. He does not know what is inside. He shakes it and hears a sound. He thinks it is a toy. He wants to open it and see.
+
+He tries to pull the lid, but it is stuck. He sees a hole in the side of the box. He has an idea. He gets his wire and puts it in the hole. He moves it around and feels something. He pulls the wire and the lid pops open.
+
+He looks inside the box and sees a watch. It is his dad's watch. He likes the watch. It has numbers and hands and a button. He presses the button and the watch beeps.

+He hears his dad coming. He is scared. He knows his dad will be angry. He puts the watch back in the box and closes the lid. He hides the box under his bed. He pretends to play with his blocks.
+
+His dad comes in and says hello. He asks Ben what he is doing. Ben says he is playing. His dad smiles and says he has a surprise for him. He gives him a new toy. It is a robot. It has lights and sounds and a remote. Ben is happy. He thanks his dad and hugs him.

+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She drew flowers, animals, and houses. She wanted to improve her drawings and make them more beautiful. She asked her mom for help.
+
+"Mom, can you teach me how to draw better?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, honey. I can show you some tips, but you also need to practice a lot. And you can learn from other people who draw, too. They are part of your network," Mom said.
+
+"What is a network?" Lily asked.
+
+"A network is a group of people who share something in common, like a hobby or a job. They can help each other, give advice, and share ideas. You have a network of friends who like to draw, too. You can show them your drawings and ask for their feedback," Mom explained.
+
+Lily thought that was a good idea. She decided to invite her friends over for a drawing party. She got her crayons, paper, and stickers ready. She was excited to see what her friends would draw and what they would say about her drawings.
+
+But when her friends came, Lily felt worried. She saw that some of them drew better than her. They used more colors, shapes, and details. They made their drawings look realistic and creative. Lily felt that her drawings were plain and boring. She didn't want to show them to her friends. She thought they would laugh at her or criticize her.
+
+"Hey, Lily, can we see your drawings?" Anna asked.
+
+Lily hesitated. She wanted to hide her drawings under the table. She felt ashamed and scared.
+
+"Come on, Lily, don't be shy. We are your friends. We won't judge you. We want to see your drawings and help you improve," Ben said.
+
+Lily looked at her friends. They smiled at her and encouraged her. They didn't look mean or angry. They looked kind and friendly. Lily felt a little better. She decided to trust them and show them her drawings.
+
+She took out her drawings and put them on the table. Her friends looked at them and gave her some compliments and suggestions.
+
+"Lily, I like your flowers. They are very pretty and colorful. You can improve them by adding some leaves and stems. That will make them look more alive," Anna said.
+
+"Lily, I like your animals. They are very cute and funny. You can improve them by making them more different. You can change their sizes, shapes, and patterns. That will make them look more interesting," Ben said.
+
+Lily listened to her friends and thanked them. She realized that they were not trying to hurt her or make her feel bad. They were trying to help her and make her feel good. They were part of her network. They shared her love for drawing and wanted her to improve.
+
+Lily felt happy and grateful. She decided to try their tips and practice more. She also decided to give them some feedback and help them improve, too. She learned that drawing was more fun and rewarding when she shared it with her network. She learned that she didn't have to be worried or ashamed of her drawings. She learned that she could improve her drawings and herself by learning from others.
+
+The moral value of the story is: Don't be afraid to show your work and ask for feedback. You can learn from others and improve yourself. You can also help others and improve them. You have a network of people who support you and care about you.
+Tim and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big triangle on the grass. It is yellow and red and blue. They want to touch it.

+
+The turtle stops. It points with its head to a pond. There are other turtles in the pond. They are swimming and splashing.
+
+"I am going to the pond," the turtle says. "That is my home. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+Tim and Mia shake their heads. They cannot swim. They are afraid of the water.
+
+"No, thank you, turtle," Mia says. "We have to go back to our mom. She is waiting for us."
+
+The turtle smiles. It understands. It says goodbye to Tim and Mia. It walks to the pond. It joins its friends.
+
+Tim and Mia wave to the turtle. They are happy. They have made a new friend. They run back to their mom. They tell her about the triangle. She hugs them and smiles. She is proud of them. They are brave and kind.

+
+One day, she wanted to paint a big tree. She took a thick brush and green paint. She made a long line for the trunk. Then she made many dots for the leaves. She was happy with her tree.
+
+But then, her brother Tom came. He saw her tree and laughed. He said, "That is not a tree. That is a mess. Trees have branches and shapes. Your tree is ugly."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "No, it is not. It is my tree. I like it. You are mean. Go away."
+
+Tom did not go away. He took a red paint and a thin brush. He said, "I will show you how to paint a tree." He made a line over Lily's trunk. Then he made lines for branches. Then he made red dots for apples.
+
+Lily cried. She said, "Stop it. You ruined my tree. You are a bad painter. You are not my brother."
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "Yes, I am. And I am a better painter than you. Look, my tree has apples. Your tree has nothing."
+
+Lily was very upset. She took her paint and threw it at Tom. Tom was surprised. He got paint on his face and clothes. He screamed. He said, "Hey, what are you doing? You are crazy. You are in trouble."
+
+Lily ran away. She went to her mom. She said, "Mom, Tom is mean. He painted over my tree. He made it red. He said it was ugly. He said he was a better painter than me. He made me mad. I threw paint at him."
+
+Mom looked at Lily and Tom. She saw the paint and the picture. She said, "Oh, no. What a mess. You both did wrong. You should not fight over painting. Painting is fun. You should share and be nice. You should say sorry to each other."
+
+Lily and Tom did not want to say sorry. They were still angry. But Mom said, "If you don't say sorry, you will have no more paint. You will have to clean up. You will have to go to bed early."
+
+Lily and Tom did not like that. They did not want to lose their paint. They did not want to clean up. They did not want to go to bed early. They looked at each other. They said, "Sorry."
+
+Mom said, "Good. Now, hug and make up. Then, relax and have a snack. Then, you can paint again. But this time, be kind and respectful. You can paint different things. Or you can paint together. You can learn from each other. You can both be good painters."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. The park has a big field and a playground.
+
+"Look, Tom, there is a sport on the field!" Mia says. She points to some people who are running and throwing a round thing.
+
+"What sport is that?" Tom asks. He does not know the sport.
+
+"I don't know. Let's go and find out!" Mia says. She runs to the field. Tom follows her.
+
+They get close to the people. They see that the round thing is black and white. It has many small shapes on it. The people kick the round thing with their feet. They try to put it in a big net.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you want to play with us?" one of the people says. He smiles and holds the round thing.
+
+"What is this sport?" Mia asks.
+
+"This is soccer. It is a modern sport. It is fun and good for you. Do you want to try?" the person says.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Mia say. They are curious and excited.

+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they see a new toy in the shop. It is a big red car. They want to buy it.
+
+They ask their mom. Mom says they can buy it if they share. Anna and Ben agree. They are happy. They give mom some money. Mom gives them the car. They say thank you.
+

+
+"Let's go see the pirate boat!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful. Pirates are bad and scary," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the boat and climbed on board. They saw many shiny things and colorful clothes. They also saw a big chest with a lock. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Maybe it has treasure!" Lily said.
+
+"Maybe it has a trap!" Tom said.
+
+They heard a loud noise. It was the pirates. They had returned from their raid. They saw the kids on their boat. They were angry and mean.
+

+
+"We are sorry. We were just curious. Please let us go," Lily said.
+
+"Too late. You are our prisoners now. You will work for us or walk the plank," another pirate said.
+
+They grabbed the kids and tied them up. They threw them in a dark and dirty room. They laughed and slammed the door.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared and sad. They wished they had never gone to the pirate boat. They hoped someone would save them. But no one came.
+Tim and Lily were bored. They had nothing to do on a dull day. They looked at the TV, but it was off. They looked at the toys, but they had played with them all. They looked at each other, and had an idea.
+
+"Let's play with the cable!" Tim said. He pointed to the long, thin wire that came from the TV to the wall. "It looks fun!"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked fun. They ran to the cable and started to pull it and twist it and bend it. They made shapes and sounds and pretended it was a snake.
+
+But they did not know that the cable was important. It carried electricity and signals for the TV. They did not know that their mom was in the kitchen, trying to watch a show on her phone. She had plugged it into the cable to charge it and stream it. She did not know that Tim and Lily were playing with the cable.
+
+Suddenly, the phone went dark. The show stopped. The cable was broken. Mom was angry. She heard the noise from the living room and went to see what was wrong. She saw Tim and Lily with the cable in their hands. She saw the TV was off. She saw the sparks from the wall.
+
+"What are you doing?" she shouted. "You could have hurt yourself! You could have started a fire! You broke the cable and the TV and my phone! You did not behave!"
+
+Tim and Lily were scared. They dropped the cable and ran to mom. They hugged her and said they were sorry. They did not mean to break anything. They just wanted to have fun.
+
+Mom hugged them back and said she was glad they were safe. She said she loved them, but they had to be careful. She said they had to respect the things in the house. She said they had to behave and not play with things that were not toys.
+
+Tim and Lily nodded. They said they understood. They said they would behave. They asked mom if they could watch a show with her on her phone.
+
+Mom smiled and said yes. She said she had another cable in her room. She said they could watch a show together, but only if they promised to be good.
+
+Tim and Lily promised. They followed mom to her room. They cuddled with her on the bed and watched a show. They learned a lesson. They had fun. They behaved.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big balloon with many colors. It was tied to a bench. Sam wanted to touch it. He ran to the balloon and pulled it.
+
+"Sam, no!" Mia shouted. "That is not your balloon. It belongs to someone else."
+
+But Sam did not listen. He pulled harder and harder. The balloon was powerful. It did not want to go with Sam. It pulled back and made a loud noise. Ring! Ring! Ring!
+
+The noise scared Sam. He let go of the balloon. It flew up in the sky. Sam and Mia watched it go. They felt sad.
+
+Then they heard a voice. "Hey, kids, did you see my balloon?" It was a man. He was looking for his balloon. He had a funny hat and a big smile.
+
+"We are sorry, mister," Mia said. "Sam pulled your balloon and it flew away."
+
+The man was not angry. He was kind. He said, "That's okay, kids. Balloons are meant to fly. Do you want another one? I have many balloons in my car. I am a clown. I make people laugh."
+
+Sam and Mia smiled. They liked the clown. They said, "Yes, please. We want another balloon."
+
+The clown gave them each a balloon. He also made them some balloon animals. He made a dog, a cat, and a monkey. Sam and Mia laughed. They thanked the clown. They played with their balloons and their balloon animals. They were happy.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars. One day, they found a big car in the street that was old and dirty. They wanted to drive it, so they opened the door and got in. They did not see the sign that said "Do not touch".
+
+A man came out of a house and saw them. He was angry and shouted at them. He was a lawyer who owned the car. He said they were bad boys who broke the law. He said he would call the police and make them pay.
+
+Ben and Sam were scared and sorry. They tried to say they were sorry, but the man did not listen. He took out his phone and called the police. He said they were thieves who stole his car.
+
+The police came and took Ben and Sam away. They cried and asked for their mom and dad. The man did not care. He said they deserved to go to jail.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not touch things that are not yours. You could get in trouble and hurt someone's feelings. Always ask before you play with something.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen with their mom. Mom is making rice for dinner. She puts water and rice in a big pot. She turns on the stove.
+
+"Can we help you, mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, you can help me. But be careful, the stove is hot. You can put some salt and butter in the rice. Here, take a spoon." Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben take a spoon each. They put some salt and butter in the rice. They stir the rice with the spoons.
+
+"Is the rice done, mom?" Ben asks.
+
+"Not yet, it needs to cook for a while. You can tell when the rice is done when it is soft and fluffy. If the rice is hard, it is not done." Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben wait for the rice to be done. They smell the rice. It smells good. They see the rice. It looks white and shiny.
+
+"Can we taste the rice, mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, you can taste the rice. But be careful, it is hot. Blow on it first. Here, take a fork." Mom says.

+Lily was a girl who liked to travel. She had a big bag with many things. She had a hat, a book, a doll, a ball, and a map. She wanted to see new places and meet new people.
+
+One day, she saw a big bus. The bus had a sign that said "Zoo". Lily loved animals. She wanted to go to the zoo. She ran to the bus and got on. She did not see her mom and dad. She did not ask anyone. She was very excited.
+
+The bus drove for a long time. Lily looked out the window. She saw trees, houses, cars, and birds. She smiled and sang a song. She did not know where the zoo was. She did not care.
+
+The bus stopped at a big gate. Lily got off the bus. She saw a sign that said "Zoo". She was happy. She ran to the gate. She wanted to see the lions, the monkeys, the elephants, and the penguins.
+
+But the gate was closed. There was a man at the gate. He wore a uniform and a hat. He looked at Lily. He said, "Sorry, kid. The zoo is closed today. You have to come back tomorrow."
+
+Lily was sad. She did not understand. She said, "But I want to see the animals. I came on the bus. I have a map. Please let me in."
+
+The man shook his head. He said, "No, kid. You can't go in. The zoo is closed. And where are your parents? You can't travel alone. That's stupid. You could get lost or hurt. You have to go back to the bus."
+
+Lily felt scared. She did not see the bus. She did not see her mom and dad. She did not know what to do. She started to cry. She wished she had not been so stupid. She wished she had stayed with her mom and dad. She wished she had not run to the bus. She wished she had not tried to travel alone.
+Tom and Anna are playing cops and robbers in the park. Tom is the cop and Anna is the robber. Tom chases Anna around the trees and the swings, but Anna is very clever and runs fast. She hides behind a bench and waits for Tom to pass by.
+
+"Got you!" Anna shouts, jumping out and tagging Tom on the shoulder. "You are the robber now and I am the cop!"
+
+"No, that's not fair!" Tom says, pouting. "You can't change the rules like that!"
+
+"Yes, I can!" Anna says, smiling. "I am the boss of this game and you have to do what I say. Now you have to go to jail!"
+
+"Where is the jail?" Tom asks, looking around.
+
+Anna points to a big cardboard box near the slide. "That is the jail. You have to sit inside and be quiet. And you can't come out until I say so!"
+
+Tom walks slowly to the box and climbs inside. He feels sad and bored. He doesn't like this game anymore. He wishes Anna would explain why she is so mean to him. He hopes she will let him out soon. He hears Anna laughing and playing with other kids. He wonders if she has forgotten about him. He wishes he had a friend to play with. He decides to make a plan to escape from the jail. He is clever, too. He will show Anna that he is not a bad robber. He will be a good cop. He will catch her and put her in the jail. Then he will be the boss of the game. He will be fair and nice. He will make the game fun for everyone. He starts to look for a way out of the box. He sees a small hole in the corner. He thinks he can squeeze through it. He tries to push his head and his arms through the hole. He feels a tug on his leg. He looks back and sees Anna holding his foot.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Anna asks, surprised. "You can't escape from the jail! That's cheating!"
+
+Tom pulls his leg free and crawls out of the hole. He stands up and faces Anna. He smiles and says, "I'm not cheating. I'm being clever. And now you are the robber and I am the cop. And you have to go to the jail!"
+
+Anna gasps and runs away. Tom chases her around the park. They laugh and have fun. They take turns being the cop and the robber. They share the jail and the cardboard box. They explain the rules and agree on them. They are friends and they play well together. They are clever and happy.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big bridge in the park. They can hear cars and trucks on the bridge.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben want to go under the bridge. They think it is fun and cool. But there is a problem. There is a big dog under the bridge. The dog is not regular. It is mean and loud. It barks and growls at Lila and Ben.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lila says. "We want to play here!"
+
+"Ruff, ruff, ruff!" the dog says. It does not listen to Lila. It shows its teeth and moves closer to them.
+
+Lila and Ben are scared. They do not want to play under the bridge anymore. They run away from the dog. They find a safe place near the swings.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Lila asks.
+
+"Yes, I am okay, Lila," Ben says. "But I do not like that dog. It is not nice."
+
+"Me neither," Lila says. "Let's play somewhere else. Maybe we can go to the slide or the sandbox."
+
+"Okay, Lila," Ben says. "That sounds good. Maybe the dog will go away soon."
+
+Lila and Ben hold hands and walk to the slide. They are happy to be together. They do not hear the dog anymore. They hear the birds and the wind. They smile and laugh. They have fun.
+Ben and Lily like to play in the park. They have a big bag of bread. They want to feed the ducks. They run to the pond and see many ducks. The ducks are hungry and noisy.
+
+Ben and Lily open the bag and take out some bread. They break it into small pieces. They scatter the pieces on the water. The ducks swim fast and eat the bread. They quack and flap their wings. Ben and Lily laugh and clap.
+
+But then, a big thing comes out of the bushes. It is a dog. It is brown and furry. It sees the ducks and the bread. It wants to play and eat. It barks and runs to the pond.
+
+The ducks are scared. They fly away. The bread is gone. The dog jumps into the water. It splashes and shakes. Ben and Lily are scared too. They drop the bag and run away.
+
+The dog is wet and happy. It finds the bag and smells it. It has more bread inside. It tears the bag and eats the bread. It is mild and yummy. The dog wags its tail and licks its lips.
+Anna liked math. She liked to count and add and take away. She had a math book with many fun problems. She wanted to show her math book to her friend Ben.
+
+Ben came to play with Anna. They played with blocks and cars and dolls. Anna said, "Ben, do you like math?"
+
+Ben said, "No, I don't like math. Math is hard and boring. I like to draw and sing and run."
+
+Anna said, "But math is fun and easy. Look, I have a math book. It has pictures and colors and stickers. I recommend you try it. Maybe you will like math too."
+
+Ben said, "OK, I will try it. But only for a little bit. Then we can draw and sing and run."
+
+Anna gave Ben her math book. Ben opened it and saw a problem. It said, "How many apples are there? 2 + 3 = ?" Ben looked at the apples. He counted them. He said, "There are five apples. 2 + 3 = 5."
+
+Anna said, "That's right, Ben. You are good at math. Do you want to do another problem?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, I want to do another problem. This is fun. I like math."
+
+Anna smiled. She was happy that Ben liked math. She said, "I'm glad you like math, Ben. Math is fun and easy. And you know what? Math can help you draw and sing and run too."
+
+Ben said, "Really? How?"
+
+Anna said, "Well, math can help you make shapes and patterns and colors. Math can help you make rhythms and melodies and sounds. Math can help you measure and compare and move. Math is everywhere, Ben. Math is amazing."
+
+Ben said, "Wow, Anna. You are right. Math is everywhere. Math is amazing. Thank you for showing me your math book. I recommend you show it to everyone. Maybe they will like math too."
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play on the swing in the park. One day, they had to study for a test. Lily wanted to study hard. Ben wanted to play on the swing.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go to the swing. Studying is boring," Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben, we have to study. The test is tomorrow. If we don't study, we will do bad," Lily said.
+
+"But the swing is fun. And look, there is a hairy dog. He wants to play with us," Ben said. He pointed to a big, brown dog that was running in the grass.
+
+Lily liked dogs, but she knew she had to study. She shook her head. "No, Ben, we can play later. First, we have to study. The dog can wait."
+
+Ben was angry. He did not want to wait. He did not want to study. He wanted to play now. He grabbed Lily's book and threw it away. He ran to the swing. He laughed. "Ha ha, now you have to play with me. And the dog."
+
+Lily was sad. She ran to get her book. But the dog saw her book. He thought it was a toy. He ran to the book and bit it. He tore it apart. He made a mess.
+
+Lily cried. She could not study anymore. Her book was gone. She was mad at Ben. She was mad at the dog. She did not want to play with them. She wanted to go home.
+
+The next day, Lily and Ben had the test. Lily did not know the answers. She did bad. Ben did not know the answers either. He did bad too. The teacher was not happy. She gave them a low grade. She told them to study more.
+
+Lily and Ben were sorry. They wished they had studied. They wished they had not played on the swing. They wished they had not met the hairy dog. They learned a lesson. Studying is important. Playing is good, but not when you have to study. And dogs are not always friendly.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a well in the corner. It was old and had a bucket and a rope.
+
+"Let's see what's in the well," Tom said. He ran to the well and pulled the rope. The bucket came up. It was empty.
+
+"Maybe there's water at the bottom," Lila said. She followed Tom and knelt by the well. She looked down. It was dark and deep.
+
+"Be careful, Lila," Tom said. "Don't fall in."
+
+Lila leaned over the well. She saw something shiny. It was a necklace. It had a delicate pendant with a star.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lila said. She reached for the necklace. She wanted to wear it.
+
+But as she grabbed the necklace, she lost her balance. She slipped and fell into the well. She screamed.
+
+"Lila!" Tom shouted. He was scared. He dropped the rope and ran to get help.
+
+He found their mom in the kitchen. He told her what happened.
+
+"Mom, Lila fell in the well!" he said.
+
+Mom was shocked. She grabbed her phone and called 911. She ran to the well with Tom.
+
+They heard Lila crying in the well. She was wet and cold.
+
+"Mom, help me!" Lila said.
+
+Mom tried to calm her down. She told her to hold on to the rope. She said the firefighters were coming.
+
+Soon, they heard sirens. The firefighters arrived. They had a ladder and a harness. They lowered one of them into the well. He reached Lila and put the harness around her. He lifted her up.
+
+Lila was safe. She hugged Mom and Tom. She was sorry for being silly. She gave the necklace to the firefighter. She said it was his now.
+
+The firefighter smiled. He thanked her. He said it was a lucky star. He said she was brave.
+
+Lila smiled too. She was happy. She learned a lesson. She said she would never go near the well again.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a shiny red car that he liked to polish with a cloth. Lily had a big white ambulance that made siren noises when she pressed a button.
+
+"Look at my car, Lily. It is so bright and clean. I polish it every day," Tom said, rubbing his car with pride.
+
+"That's nice, Tom. But my ambulance is better. It can help people who are hurt or sick. It goes very fast and loud," Lily said, making her ambulance zoom across the floor.
+
+Tom felt a little jealous of Lily's ambulance. He wished he had one too. He thought that Lily was very lucky to have such a cool toy. He wondered if she was wealthy, like the people on TV who had big houses and lots of cars.
+
+"Where did you get your ambulance, Lily? Did you buy it with your money?" Tom asked, hoping to find out more.
+
+"No, silly. I didn't buy it. It was a gift from my uncle. He is a doctor and he works in a hospital. He gave it to me for my birthday. He said it was a special toy for a special girl," Lily said, smiling.
+
+Tom felt even more jealous of Lily. He wished he had an uncle who was a doctor and who gave him nice gifts. He thought that Lily was very special and he was not. He felt sad and angry.
+
+He decided to do something mean. He grabbed Lily's ambulance and threw it across the room. It hit the wall and broke into pieces. The siren stopped working and the wheels fell off.
+
+"Hey, what did you do that for? That was my favorite toy! You are so mean and bad, Tom!" Lily cried, running to pick up her broken ambulance.
+
+Tom felt a pang of guilt and regret. He realized he had done something very wrong. He had hurt Lily and her toy. He didn't want to be mean and bad. He wanted to be nice and good.
+
+He ran after Lily and hugged her. He said he was sorry and he didn't mean to break her ambulance. He asked her to forgive him and to be his friend.
+
+Lily was still upset, but she saw that Tom was sorry. She decided to forgive him and to be his friend. She hugged him back and said it was okay. She said they could share their toys and play together.
+
+Tom and Lily learned a lesson that day. They learned that being wealthy or having nice toys is not as important as being kind and respectful. They learned that being friends is better than being jealous. They learned that saying sorry and forgiving is better than being angry and mean. They learned to polish their hearts as well as their toys.
+Anna was a spoiled girl who always wanted more toys. She did not like to share with her friends or say thank you to her parents. One day, she saw a giant teddy bear in the toy store and begged her mom to buy it for her. Her mom said no, because Anna already had many toys at home and the teddy bear was too expensive. Anna threw a tantrum and cried loudly in the store.
+
+A kind old lady saw Anna and felt sorry for her. She walked up to her and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like this teddy bear?" Anna nodded and sniffed. The old lady smiled and said, "I have a magic wand that can make anything disappear. If you want, I can make this teddy bear disappear and then you can have it for yourself. But you have to promise me one thing: you have to be nice to everyone and share your toys with others. Do you agree?" Anna was curious and greedy. She did not care about being nice or sharing. She just wanted the teddy bear. She said yes to the old lady.
+
+The old lady waved her magic wand and said, "Abracadabra, make this teddy bear disappear!" The teddy bear vanished from the shelf and appeared in Anna's arms. Anna was overjoyed and hugged the teddy bear. She thanked the old lady and ran to her mom. Her mom was surprised and asked, "Where did you get that teddy bear?" Anna lied and said, "The old lady gave it to me. She said it was a gift." Her mom was suspicious but did not want to make a scene. She thanked the old lady and took Anna home.
+
+Anna was very happy with her new teddy bear. She played with it all day and night. She did not let anyone touch it or look at it. She did not listen to her mom or dad. She did not share with her friends or say sorry. She was very rude and selfish. The old lady's magic wand was watching Anna and was very angry. It decided to teach Anna a lesson. One night, when Anna was sleeping with her teddy bear, the magic wand whispered, "Abracadabra, make this teddy bear disappear!" The teddy bear vanished from Anna's arms and never came back.
+
+Anna woke up and saw that her teddy bear was gone. She searched everywhere but could not find it. She cried and screamed and asked for her teddy bear. Her mom and dad tried to comfort her but she did not listen. She blamed them and her friends for stealing her teddy bear. She was very sad and lonely. She realized that she had been a spoiled girl and that she had lost her teddy bear and her friends. She wished she had been nice and shared her toys with others. She wished she had not lied to the old lady and kept her promise. She learned a hard lesson: being greedy and selfish can make you lose everything.

+
+Lily prepares to read the new book. She makes a cozy spot on her bed with her pillows and blankets. She gets her teddy bear and her flashlight. She opens the book and looks at the first page. It has many words and no pictures. Lily feels a little scared. She does not know all the words.
+
+Lily decides to try anyway. She starts to read the new book. She sounds out the words slowly and carefully. She uses her flashlight to see better. She asks her teddy bear what some words mean. She imagines the castle and the dragon in her head. She feels happy and curious.

+
+One day, they find a shiny metal thing in the water. It looks like a hook with a rope. Sam says, "What is this?" Mia says, "I think it is an anchor. It helps the boat stay in one place." They pull the anchor out of the water and look at it. It has a picture of a fish on it.
+
+They wonder where the anchor came from. They look around and see a big boat in the distance. It is white and blue and has a flag. Sam says, "Maybe the anchor belongs to that boat. Maybe they lost it." Mia says, "Maybe we should give it back to them. Maybe they are looking for it."
+
+They decide to sail their toy boat to the big boat. They tie the anchor to their boat and push it in the water. They follow the boat with their eyes. They hope the people on the boat will see them and be happy.
+
+But the big boat is too fast and too far. Sam and Mia cannot catch up with it. They feel sad and tired. They stop sailing and sit on the grass. They look at the anchor and the toy boat.

+
+Lily is angry. She runs after Ben and says, "Stop, stop! That is not a ball, that is a lemon! It is bitter, not sweet!"
+
+Ben does not listen. He thinks Lily is lying. He wants to taste the lemon. He bites the lemon hard.
+
+Ben makes a funny face. He spits out the lemon and says, "Yuck, yuck! This is not a ball, this is a lemon! It is bitter, not sweet!"
+
+Lily laughs. She says, "I told you, Ben, I told you! Lemons are for juice, not for play!"
+
+Ben is sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Lily, I am sorry! Can we share the lemon and make juice?"
+
+Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, Ben, yes! We can share the lemon and make juice!"
+

+They drink the lemonade and say, "Mmm, mmm! This is sweet, not bitter!"
+
+They hug each other and say, "We love you, sister! We love you, brother!"
