She asked her mom, "Can I cut some carrots too?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "No, Anna, you are too little to use a knife. It is sharp and dangerous. You can help me by stirring the soup with this spoon. Be careful, it is hot." + +Anna nodded and took the spoon. She stirred the soup slowly and carefully. She smelled the yummy soup and felt proud. She was helping her mom make dinner. + +But then she saw a big black cat outside the window. It was sitting on the fence and looking at her. Anna loved cats.

She did not see where she was going. She did not hear her mom calling her name. + +She followed the cat across the street and into the park. She did not look for cars or people.

He forgot to put it away. + +"That's not a toy, kids. That's a fan. It's for cooling down, not for spinning around. You could have hurt yourselves," Mom says. + +She explains to them what a fan is and how it works. She tells them to never play with it again. + +Lily and Max nod. They are sorry. They hug Mom and say they love her. + +Mom smiles and says she loves them too. She helps them get up and takes them to the kitchen. She gives them some water and cookies. + +They feel better.

Or maybe he is in the shed. Or maybe he is under the car." + +Tom was curious. He wanted to see what Lily was talking about. He peeked again from behind the bush and saw the car. It was filthy and had a lot of dust and dirt on it. He thought it looked scary. + +Lily saw Tom peeking again. She decided to surprise him. She ran to the bush and shouted, "Boo!" She grabbed Tom and tickled him. + +Tom screamed and laughed. He tried to get away from Lily.

He says he likes stories too. + +Lily is happy. She gives him a hug. She says they can be spies and writers. They put on their sunglasses and go outside. They have a new mission. They have to find their dog. He is hiding somewhere. They look for clues and write them down. They have fun. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big sandbox, a swing, and a slide. They also had a secret spot behind the bushes, where they hid their toys and treasures. + +One day, they decided to have a race. They wanted to see who was faster and stronger. They agreed to run from the sandbox to the slide, then climb up and slide down, then run back to the sandbox. The first one to touch the sand would win. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted, and they both ran as fast as they could. Max was a little bit ahead, but Lily was close behind. They reached the slide at the same time, and scrambled up the ladder. Max slid down first, but Lily was right after him. They ran back to the sandbox, but then Max tripped on a rock and fell. + +"Ow!" he cried, holding his knee. "That hurts!" + +Lily stopped and ran back to him. She saw that he had a small cut and some blood on his knee. She felt sorry for him, and forgot about the race. + +"Are you okay, Max?" she asked, kneeling next to him. + +Max nodded, but he looked sad. He thought he had lost the race, and he was mad at the rock. + +"I'm sorry, Max," Lily said. "You were very fast. You almost won." + +She reached into her pocket and pulled out a shiny sticker. It was her favorite sticker, a star with glitter. She had found it in the secret spot, and she had kept it for herself. But now she wanted to give it to Max. + +"Here, Max," she said, sticking it on his shirt. "This is for you. You are a star." + +Max looked at the sticker and smiled. He felt better, and he hugged Lily. + +"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are very kind. And you are a star, too." + +He reached into his pocket and pulled out a colorful bracelet. It was his favorite bracelet, made of beads. He had found it in the secret spot, and he had kept it for himself. But now he wanted to give it to Lily. + +"Here, Lily," he said, putting it on her wrist. "This is for you. You are beautiful." + +Lily looked at the bracelet and smiled. She felt happy, and she hugged Max. + +"Thank you, Max," she said. "You are very sweet. And you are beautiful, too." + +They both laughed, and then they got up and walked to the secret spot. They decided to reveal their toys and treasures to each other, and share them. They didn't care about the race anymore. They only cared about being friends. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dinosaur. The dinosaur was rare, because it was a gift from their grandpa. It was green and brown, and it had sharp teeth and a long tail. + +"Rawr!" Lily said, making the dinosaur roar at Tom. "You can't catch me, I'm the fastest dinosaur!" + +"Oh yeah?" Tom said, picking up another dinosaur. "Well, I'm the strongest dinosaur, and I can bite you!" He chased Lily around the couch, pretending to bite her with his dinosaur. + +They had so much fun, they didn't hear their mom calling them for lunch. They only stopped when they heard a loud crash. They turned around and saw their big dinosaur on the floor, broken in two pieces. The tail had snapped off, and the glue that held it together was gone. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried, running to the dinosaur. "Our dinosaur is broken! What did we do?" + +Tom followed her, feeling sad and scared. He saw the glue bottle on the shelf, where their mom had put it. He had an idea. + +"Maybe we can fix it," he said, reaching for the glue. "We can put some glue on the tail and stick it back on." + +Lily nodded, hoping it would work. She held the dinosaur's body, while Tom squeezed the glue on the tail. But he squeezed too hard, and the glue came out too fast. It spilled all over the dinosaur, the floor, and their hands. + +"Oops!" Tom said, dropping the glue bottle. "It's too sticky!" + +They tried to wipe off the glue, but it only made it worse. It stuck to their fingers, their clothes, and their hair. They couldn't move their hands, and they couldn't get the dinosaur back together. + +They heard their mom coming into the living room. She saw the mess, and she was very angry. + +"What have you done?" she yelled. "You ruined your dinosaur, and you made a huge mess! How could you be so careless?" + +She took them to the bathroom, and tried to wash off the glue. But it was hard to get off, and it hurt their skin. They cried and said they were sorry, but their mom didn't listen. She said they were in big trouble, and they had to go to their rooms without lunch. + +They went to their rooms, feeling hungry and sad. They wished they had listened to their mom, and not played with the glue. They wished they had their dinosaur back, and they could play with it again. But it was too late. Their dinosaur was broken, and they had no glue to fix it. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to jump in it and have fun. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go!" Tom urged. He ran towards the pile and jumped in. + +"Wait for me, Tom!" Lily said. She followed him and jumped in too. + +They laughed and threw leaves at each other. They felt happy and warm. + +But then they smelled something bad. They looked around and saw a rotten apple in the pile. It was brown and mushy and had worms in it. It was disgusting. + +"Yuck!" Tom said. He spat out a leaf that had touched the apple. + +"Ew!" Lily said. She wiped her face with her sleeve. + +They got out of the pile and ran away. They did not want to play in the leaves anymore. + +They saw their dad in the garden. He was holding a rake. He was raking the leaves into a big bag. + +"Dad, dad, there's a gross apple in the leaves!" Tom said. + +"Really? Where?" Dad asked. + +"Over there!" Lily pointed. + +Dad walked over to the pile and saw the apple. He made a face and picked it up with the rake. He threw it in the trash. + +"Good job, kids, you found the apple. It was from our tree, but it fell and got rotten. It's not good to play in the leaves with rotten things in them. They can make you sick." Dad said. + +"Sorry, dad, we didn't know." Tom said. + +"It's okay, Tom, you didn't mean to. But next time, be careful and look before you jump." Dad said. + +"Okay, dad, we will." Lily said. + +Dad smiled and hugged them. He gave them each a rake. + +"Do you want to help me rake the leaves?" He asked. + +"Yes, dad, we do!" Tom and Lily said. + +They took the rakes and helped dad rake the leaves. They made a new pile that was clean and fresh. They jumped in it and had fun again. They did not smell anything bad. They felt happy and warm. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. There is a big slide at the park. Anna and Ben want to go on the slide. + +But there is a problem. There is a line of kids waiting for the slide. Anna and Ben have to wait too. They have to get a ticket from the lady. The lady gives them a ticket with a number. Anna has number five. Ben has number six. + +They wait and wait. They see other kids go on the slide. They look happy. Anna and Ben want to be happy too. They want their turn. + +Finally, the lady calls number five. Anna is happy. She runs to the slide. She gives her ticket to the lady. She climbs up the ladder. She sits on the slide. She is ready to go. + +But then, she sees Ben. Ben is sad. He still has to wait. He has number six. He looks at Anna. He says, "Anna, can I go with you? Please?" + +Anna thinks. She likes Ben. He is her friend. She wants him to be happy too. She says, "OK, Ben. You can go with me. But you have to be careful. You have to sit behind me. And you have to hold on tight. OK?" + +Ben nods. He is happy. He runs to the slide. He gives his ticket to the lady. He climbs up the ladder. He sits behind Anna. He holds on tight. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend." + +Anna smiles. She says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. Are you ready?" + +Ben says, "Yes, I am ready." + +Anna says, "OK, let's go." + +They push off the slide. They go down fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They feel the sun on their face. They laugh and scream. They have fun. + +They reach the bottom of the slide. They get off. They hug each other. They are happy. They are healthy. They are friends. +Tim and Lily were friends who liked to play in the forest. They had a secret spot where they built a hut with sticks and leaves. They felt happy and safe in their hut. It was their place and it belonged to them. + +One day, they went to the forest and saw that their hut was broken. Some of the sticks were snapped and some of the leaves were torn. They felt sad and angry. Who did this to their hut? + +They heard a noise behind a bush. They looked and saw a big dog. The dog had a stick in its mouth and was wagging its tail. It looked like it wanted to play. + +"Bad dog!" Tim shouted. "You broke our hut! Go away!" + +The dog dropped the stick and whimpered. It looked sorry and scared. It had no collar and no home. It was alone in the forest. + +Lily felt sorry for the dog. She walked slowly to the dog and held out her hand. The dog licked her hand and wagged its tail again. It looked happy and friendly. + +"Maybe the dog didn't mean to break our hut," Lily said. "Maybe it was just looking for a place to stay. Maybe it was lonely." + +Tim looked at the dog and Lily. He felt sorry for the dog too. He walked to the dog and patted its head. The dog licked his hand and wagged its tail more. + +"Maybe you're right," Tim said. "Maybe the dog can stay with us. Maybe it can be our friend." + +They decided to fix their hut and make it bigger. They used more sticks and leaves and made a space for the dog. They gave the dog a name and a hug. They felt happy and safe in their hut. It was their place and it belonged to them and their dog. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. + +"Look, Sam, sheep!" Tim said, pointing to the white and fluffy animals. "They are so soft and cute. I want to touch them." + +"Me too," Sam said, and they ran towards the fence. Their mom and dad followed them and smiled. + +"Be careful, boys," their dad said. "Don't scare the sheep. They are shy and gentle." + +Tim and Sam nodded and reached out their hands to pet the sheep. Most of the sheep moved away, but one sheep stayed still. It looked smaller and thinner than the others. It had a bandage on its leg. + +"What's wrong with this sheep, dad?" Tim asked, feeling sorry for the animal. + +"This sheep is weak, son," their dad said. "It hurt its leg and got sick. The farmer is taking care of it, but it needs more time to get better." + +"Can we help it, dad?" Sam asked, admiring the sheep's bravery. + +"Well, we can't do much, but we can be kind and gentle to it," their dad said. "Maybe we can give it some water and grass, and talk to it softly. That might make it feel better." + +Tim and Sam agreed and did what their dad said. They brought some water and grass from a bucket and offered them to the sheep. They also spoke to it softly and stroked its wool. The sheep looked at them with grateful eyes and nibbled on the grass. + +"Thank you, boys," their mom said. "You are very nice and caring. The sheep likes you." + +Tim and Sam smiled and hugged the sheep. They felt happy and proud. They hoped the sheep would get better soon. They decided to name it Fluffy and visit it again. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. + +Mom and Dad make a big cake for them. The cake has bright candles on it. Sara and Ben blow the candles and make a wish. They wish for more toys and books. + +Mom and Dad cut the cake and give them big pieces. Sara and Ben eat the cake. It is very yummy. They drink some juice too. They say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. This is the best birthday ever." + +Mom and Dad smile and hug them. They say, "You are welcome, Sara and Ben. We love you very much." + +Sara and Ben open their presents. They get new toys and books. They are very excited. They play with their toys and read their books. They share and help each other. They have a lot of fun. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a dove on a tree. The dove had a ribbon on its neck. The ribbon was red and shiny. + +"Look, a dove!" Lila said. "It has a pretty ribbon. Can we play with it?" + +Tom nodded. He liked the ribbon too. He wanted to touch it. He climbed the tree. He reached for the dove. The dove was scared. It flew away. + +"Come back, dove!" Tom shouted. He followed the dove. He jumped from one tree to another. He was fast and brave. + +Lila watched Tom. She was worried. She did not like to climb trees. She was afraid of falling. She called Tom. + +"Tom, be careful! The dove does not want to play. It wants to be free. Come down, please!" + +Tom did not listen. He was too excited. He saw the dove land on a big rock. He jumped to the rock. He grabbed the ribbon. He tried to tie it to his wrist. He wanted to keep the dove. + +The dove was angry. It pecked Tom's hand. It made a loud noise. It flapped its wings. It broke the ribbon. It flew away again. + +Tom was hurt. He was sad. He was confused. He did not understand why the dove did not like him. He looked at his wrist. He saw a piece of ribbon. He cried. + +Lila ran to Tom. She hugged him. She kissed his hand. She said sorry. + +"Tom, I'm sorry. The dove was not a toy. It was a living thing. It had feelings. It did not like to be tied. It wanted to fly and be happy. You should not chase it. You should let it go." + +Tom sniffed. He nodded. He understood. He said sorry too. + +"Lila, I'm sorry. I was silly. I did not think. I wanted the ribbon. I did not care about the dove. I should not grab it. I should be gentle and kind." + +Lila smiled. She gave Tom the piece of ribbon. She said it was a gift. + +"Tom, this is for you. It is a reminder. A reminder to be nice to animals. A reminder to respect their freedom. A reminder to love them from afar." + +Tom smiled too. He thanked Lila. He said it was a good gift. He said he learned a lesson. + +They held hands. They walked back to the park. They saw the dove again. It was on another tree. It looked at them. It cooed softly. + +They waved at the dove. They said goodbye. They wished it well. They went home. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find bugs. Lily saw a big spider crawling on a leaf. She was not scared of spiders. She picked it up and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a spider!" she said. "It has eight legs and two eyes. It is very lively." + +Ben did not like spiders. He was scared of them. He backed away and shook his head. + +"No, Lily, put it down!" he said. "Spiders are yucky and bitey. I don't want to play with it." + +Lily frowned. She thought spiders were fun and interesting. She wanted to keep it as a pet. She had an idea. + +"OK, Ben, I will put it down," she said. "But first, let's bury it. Then it will be safe and happy. And we can dig it up later and play with it again." + +Ben thought that was a good idea. He did not want to see the spider anymore. He helped Lily dig a hole and put the spider inside. They covered it with dirt and leaves. They made a mark with a stick so they would remember where it was. + +"There, spider, have a nice nap," Lily said. "We will come back for you soon." + +Ben nodded. He was glad the spider was gone. He hoped it would not come out of the hole. He took Lily's hand and they ran to the swing. They forgot about the spider. But the spider did not forget about them. It was not happy in the hole. It was dark and cold and wet. It wanted to get out. It dug and dug with its legs. It made a tunnel to the surface. It crawled out of the hole and looked around. It saw Lily and Ben on the swing. It was angry and hungry. It wanted to bite them. It ran towards them. It was very lively. +Tom liked to fly his kite on sunny days. He had a red kite with a long tail and a big smile. He took good care of his kite and always put it away when he was done. He valued his kite very much. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom and his kite. He saw a girl with a blue kite and a boy with a yellow kite. They were flying their kites high in the sky. Tom wanted to join them, so he ran to a clear spot and let his kite go. + +But the wind was too strong and it pulled his kite away. Tom tried to hold on, but he lost his grip. He watched his kite fly away and felt very sad. He cried and ran to his mom. + +His mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I know you loved your kite. But don't worry, we can get you a new one. Maybe we can find your kite later, or maybe someone else will find it and value it too." + +Tom sniffed and nodded. He felt a little better. His mom took him to a nearby stall and bought him a hot dog. She asked him if he wanted some spicy sauce on it. Tom said yes, because he liked spicy food. He bit into his hot dog and smiled. It was very tasty. He forgot about his kite for a while and enjoyed his snack. He thought, maybe he could make a new friend with a new kite. He still valued his old kite, but he also valued his mom and his hot dog. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. + +"Look, Sara, the sky is changing color!" Tom said, pointing to the horizon. "It is so pretty!" + +Sara looked up and saw the sky was orange and pink and purple. She saw the sun was going down behind the trees. She smiled and said, "That is a sunset, Tom. It is when the sun says good night to us. I admire the sunset. It is beautiful." + +Tom nodded and said, "I admire the sunset too, Sara. It makes me happy. Do you know what else makes me happy?" + +"What, Tom?" Sara asked, curious. + +"Yummy food!" Tom said, rubbing his tummy. "I am hungry. Do you want to go home and have dinner?" + +Sara agreed and said, "Yes, Tom, I am hungry too. Let's go home and have dinner. Maybe we can have pizza or pasta or soup. I like yummy food too." + +They picked up their ball and ran to their parents, who were waiting for them on a bench. They told them about the sunset and how they admired it. Their parents smiled and hugged them. They went home together and had a yummy dinner. They were happy and grateful. +Sara and Lily were sisters who liked to play with their mom's makeup. One day, they found a big box of makeup in the closet and decided to try it on. They put on thick red lipstick, blue eyeshadow, and pink blush. They thought they looked very pretty. + +They wanted to show their mom their new look, so they ran to the living room where she was reading a book. "Mom, mom, look at us!" they shouted. "We are wearing makeup like you!" + +Mom looked up and saw her daughters with their faces covered in makeup. She was very surprised and not very happy. "Oh, no, girls, what have you done?" she asked. "That makeup is not for playing. It is for special occasions. And you used too much of it. You look like clowns!" + +Sara and Lily felt sad and ashamed. They did not mean to make their mom angry. They just wanted to have fun and be like her. They started to cry and said they were sorry. + +Mom sighed and hugged them. She was not really angry, just worried. She knew they were curious and innocent. She said, "It's okay, girls, I forgive you. But you have to promise me not to touch my makeup again without asking me. And you have to wash your faces right now. Makeup is not for little girls. You are beautiful just the way you are." + +Sara and Lily nodded and said they understood. They went to the bathroom and washed their faces with soap and water. They felt better and smiled at each other. They still liked makeup, but they knew they had to wait until they were older to wear it. They decided to play with something else, like their dolls or their books. They loved their mom and each other. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build anything they want with their blocks. + +One day, they decide to build a refrigerator. They think a refrigerator is a big and cold box that keeps food fresh. They use white and blue blocks to make the box. They leave a space for the door. They use yellow and red blocks to make the handle. They are very proud of their refrigerator. + +"Look, Mom!" Tim says. "We built a refrigerator with our blocks!" + +Mom comes to see their work. She smiles and hugs them. "You did a great job, boys!" she says. "Your refrigerator is mighty and beautiful!" + +"Can we put food in it?" Sam asks. + +Mom laughs. "Well, I don't think your block refrigerator can keep food cold, but you can pretend," she says. "What food do you want to put in it?" + +Tim and Sam think hard. They run to their toy kitchen and grab some plastic fruits and vegetables. They also find a toy cake and a toy pizza. They bring them to their refrigerator and open the door. They put the food inside and close the door. + +"Now we have a lot of food for later!" Tim says. + +"Yes, and we can share it with our friends!" Sam says. + +They are very happy with their refrigerator. They think it is the best thing they ever built. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. Today, they want to make a cake for Mom. They go to the kitchen and find a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter. + +"Let's work hard and make a tasty cake!" Lily says. + +"Yes, let's work hard and make a tasty cake!" Tom says. + +They crack the eggs and put them in the bowl. They add the flour, the sugar, and the butter. They mix everything with a big spoon. They pour the batter into a pan. They put the pan in the oven. + +"Now we have to wait for the cake to bake," Lily says. + +"Let's listen to some music while we wait," Tom says. + +They turn on the radio and hear a happy song. They dance and sing along. They have fun. + +Ding! The oven makes a sound. The cake is ready. + +"Wow, the cake smells good!" Lily says. + +"Yes, the cake smells good!" Tom says. + +They take the cake out of the oven. They let it cool down. They decorate it with some frosting and some sprinkles. + +"Mom will love this cake!" Lily says. + +"Yes, Mom will love this cake!" Tom says. + +They put the cake on a plate. They write "We love you, Mom" with some frosting. They wait for Mom to come home. + +Mom comes home. She sees the cake. She smiles. + +"Wow, what a beautiful and tasty cake!" Mom says. + +"We made it for you, Mom!" Lily and Tom say. + +They hug Mom. They cut the cake. They share it with Mom. + +They are happy. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and make things with paper and glue. One day, they find a big box of scissors in the art room. They think scissors are fun and want to cut everything. + +They cut paper, they cut cloth, they cut ribbons. They make shapes and patterns and animals. They laugh and have fun. But then, they see a big poster on the wall. It is a poster of a lion. The lion looks strong and brave. It has a big mane and sharp teeth. It roars at them. + +"Let's cut the lion!" Tim says. He thinks it is funny to cut the poster. He takes a pair of scissors and runs to the wall. + +"No, Tim, don't do that!" Mia says. She thinks it is wrong to cut the poster. The poster belongs to the teacher. The teacher likes the poster. She will be sad if they cut it. She tries to stop Tim. + +But Tim does not listen. He cuts the lion's mane. He cuts the lion's nose. He cuts the lion's teeth. He cuts the lion's eyes. He makes the lion look silly and sad. He laughs and says, "Look, Mia, I cut the lion! It can't roar anymore!" + +Mia does not laugh. She is angry and scared. She says, "Tim, you are bad! You should not cut the poster! The teacher will be mad at you! She will be mad at me too! You have to say sorry!" + +But Tim does not say sorry. He thinks he did nothing wrong. He says, "It's just a poster. It's not real. It's not a big deal. You are silly, Mia. You are scared of a poster." + +Mia is hurt and sad. She does not want to play with Tim anymore. She goes to the teacher and tells her what Tim did. The teacher is shocked and sad. She goes to the wall and sees the poster. She sees the lion. The lion looks silly and sad. She says, "Who did this? Who cut the lion?" + +Tim is quiet. He feels ashamed. He knows he did something bad. He knows he hurt the teacher. He knows he hurt Mia. He knows he hurt the lion. He wishes he did not cut the poster. He wishes he listened to Mia. He wishes he said sorry. + +The teacher sees Tim. She sees his scissors. She sees his face. She knows he cut the lion. She says, "Tim, did you cut the lion?" + +Tim nods. He says, "Yes, teacher, I cut the lion. I'm sorry, teacher. I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, lion. I was wrong. I was not nice. I will not cut things that are not mine. I will be good. I will be kind." + +The teacher is glad. She says, "Thank you, Tim, for telling the truth. Thank you for saying sorry. I forgive you, Tim. But you have to fix the poster. You have to make the lion look strong and brave again. You have to make the lion roar again." + +Tim agrees. He says, "Yes, teacher, I will fix the poster. I will make the lion look strong and brave again. I will make the lion roar again." + +He takes some paper and glue. He makes a new mane for the lion. He makes a new nose for the lion. He makes new teeth for the lion. He makes new eyes for the lion. He glues them on the poster. He makes the lion look strong and brave again. He makes the lion roar again. + +Mia sees Tim. She sees his paper and glue. She sees his face. She knows he fixed the poster. She knows he made the lion look strong and brave again. She knows he made the lion roar again. She is glad. She says, "Tim, you are good! You fixed the poster! You made the lion look strong and brave again! You made the lion roar again! I'm sorry, Tim. I'm sorry I was angry and scared. I forgive you, Tim. I'm your friend again." + +Tim is glad. He says, "Mia, you are good! You told the teacher! You helped me fix the poster! You made me feel better! I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry I was bad and funny. I forgive you, Mia. I'm your friend again." + +They hug and smile. They are friends again. They are happy. The teacher is happy. The lion is happy. The lion roars at them. They roar back. + +The end. + +Moral: Don't cut things that are not yours. Listen to your friends. Say sorry when you are wrong. Fix your mistakes. Be kind and happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the forest near their home. They had a secret fort made of sticks and leaves where they kept their toys and snacks. One day, they heard a loud noise coming from the other side of the forest. They ran to see what it was and saw a big machine with a long arm and a sharp claw. The machine was tearing down the trees and making them fall to the ground. + +"Stop! Stop!" Lily shouted. "You are hurting the forest! The forest is our friend!" + +The man driving the machine did not hear her. He was wearing big headphones and a helmet. He kept moving the claw and grabbing more trees. + +Ben was scared. He hugged Lily and said, "We have to protect the forest. We have to make him stop." + +But how could they make him stop? They were only two small children and he was a big man with a big machine. They looked around and saw a pile of rocks near the fort. They had an idea. + +They ran to the fort and grabbed some rocks. They threw them at the machine, hoping to hit the claw or the arm or the helmet. The rocks made loud noises when they hit the metal. The man driving the machine finally heard them. He looked out of the window and saw Lily and Ben. + +"Hey, you kids! What are you doing? Get away from here! This is my job!" he yelled. + +He opened the door and got out of the machine. He walked towards Lily and Ben, looking angry. + +Lily and Ben were not afraid. They stood in front of the fort, holding more rocks. They said, "No, this is our forest. You are not welcome here. You are making the forest empty and sad. Go away!" + +The man stopped. He looked at the forest and saw the fallen trees and the empty spaces. He looked at Lily and Ben and saw their brave faces and their love for the forest. He felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. I didn't know you cared so much. I was just doing my job. I need the wood to make things and sell them." + +Lily and Ben said, "But you can't take all the wood. You can't make the forest disappear. The forest is alive. It gives us air and shade and beauty. It is home to many animals and plants. It is our friend. Can't you find another way to make things and sell them?" + +The man thought for a moment. He said, "Maybe you are right. Maybe I can find another way. Maybe I can use less wood or use other materials. Maybe I can plant new trees to replace the ones I take. Maybe I can be a friend to the forest too." + +Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "That would be nice. That would make the forest happy. And us too." + +They gave the man some of their snacks and invited him to see their fort. They showed him their toys and their drawings of the forest. They told him stories and jokes. They became friends. + +The man said, "Thank you, kids. You have taught me something today. You have taught me to respect and protect the forest. And to listen and learn from others. You are very smart and kind." + +Lily and Ben said, "Thank you, sir. You have taught us something too. You have taught us to be brave and speak up for what we love. And to forgive and understand others. You are very nice and wise." + +They hugged and said goodbye. The man got back into his machine and drove away. He promised to come back and visit them and the forest. He promised to be more careful and gentle with the trees. He promised to be a better person. + +Lily and Ben waved and watched him go.

Can we get a new skirt?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's have some cookies and milk. And then, we can read a story about flying.

"Let's get him!" + +Lila nodded and followed Ben. They crept closer to the bush, holding their weapons. They hoped they could scare the bad guy away. + +But when they reached the bush, they saw that it was not a bad guy. It was a big dog. A big, angry dog. The dog barked and growled, showing its teeth. It did not like the children coming near its bush. + +"Run, Lila, run!" Ben shouted, dropping his rock and turning around. He hoped they could get away. + +But it was too late. The dog jumped out of the bush and chased them. It was faster than them. It caught Lila by her leg and bit her hard. Lila screamed and cried. Ben tried to help her, but the dog was too strong.

It is their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Time to eat, kids!" their mom says. "Come inside, I have sandwiches and juice for you!" + +"OK, mom, we are coming!" Tom and Mia say. + +They put the bat, the ball and the gloves back in the garage. They run to the house, holding hands. + +They are hungry and happy. They wonder what they will imagine next. +Sara and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Sara was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Sara counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She saw his shoes under a slide. She ran to the slide and shouted, "I found you, Ben! You have to surrender!" + +Ben did not want to surrender. He liked hiding under the slide. He felt safe and tight. He said, "No, Sara, you did not find me. You only found my shoes. I am somewhere else. You have to keep looking." + +Sara was angry. She did not like Ben's trick. She said, "That is not fair, Ben. You have to come out and surrender. You are cheating. If you do not come out, I will tell Mom." + +Ben did not care. He said, "Go ahead and tell Mom. I do not care. I will stay under the slide. You are a bad seeker. You can not find me." + +Sara was very angry. She ran to Mom and told her what Ben did. Mom was not happy. She said, "Ben, you have to come out and surrender. You are not playing nice. You have to follow the rules. If you do not come out, you will be in trouble." + +Ben did not listen. He stayed under the slide. He did not know that a big dog was coming to the park. The dog smelled Ben's shoes. The dog liked shoes. The dog ran to the slide and grabbed Ben's shoes. The dog pulled hard. Ben felt his feet hurt. He screamed. He tried to get his shoes back. But the dog was stronger. The dog dragged Ben out of the slide. Ben was scared. He wished he had surrendered. He wished he had listened to Sara and Mom. He wished he had played nice. But it was too late. The dog had his shoes. And his feet. Ben had a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were going to the park with Mom. They liked the park because it had swings and slides and a big pond with ducks. Mom said they could feed the ducks some bread if they were good. + +But on the way to the park, they saw a big truck blocking the road. It was making a loud noise and smoke. Mom said they had to wait for the truck to move. She said it was a delay. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to go to the park now. They did not like the truck. They asked Mom how long they had to wait. + +Mom said she did not know. She said they could play a game to pass the time. She said they could look for coins on the sidewalk. She said coins were shiny and round and sometimes people dropped them. + +Lily and Ben liked the game. They started to look for coins. They found a penny, a nickel, and a dime. They showed them to Mom. Mom said they were lucky. She said they could use the coins to buy a treat later. + +Then they heard a beep. The truck was moving. The road was open. Mom said they could go to the park now. Lily and Ben were happy. They put the coins in Mom's purse. They thanked Mom for the game. They ran to the swings and slides and the big pond with ducks. They had fun at the park. +Ben was a snowman. He had a hat, a scarf, a carrot nose and two buttons. He liked to play with the children who made him. They threw snowballs, made snow angels and sang songs. + +But one day, the sun came out. It was very bright and warm. Ben felt hot and wet. He saw drops of water on his hat and scarf. He saw his carrot nose fall off. He saw his buttons sink into the snow. He was melting! + +He was scared and sad. He did not want to melt. He wanted to stay with the children. He called for them, but they did not hear him. They were inside the house. They had hot chocolate and cookies. They were happy and cozy. + +Then, Ben saw a human. It was a woman. She had a big coat and a shovel. She was walking towards him. She saw him and smiled. She said, "Hello, snowman. You look very nice. But you are melting. Do you want to come with me?" + +Ben nodded. He did not know the woman, but she was kind. She scooped him up with the shovel. She carried him to her car. She put him in a big box. She said, "Don't worry, snowman. I have a new home for you. A home where you will not melt. A home where you will have friends. A home where you will be happy." + +She drove him to a place with many trees and animals. She took him to a big freezer. She opened the door and said, "Welcome, snowman. This is your new home. These are your new friends. They are snowmen too. They came from different places, but they all melted. Now they live here, where it is cold and safe. They will play with you and sing with you. They will love you and take care of you. You will never melt again." + +Ben saw many snowmen in the freezer. They had hats, scarves, noses and buttons. They smiled and waved at him. They said, "Hello, snowman. We are happy to meet you. Come and join us. You are one of us now." + +Ben felt warm and happy. He thanked the woman. He said goodbye to the sun. He said hello to his new friends. He went inside the freezer. He was a snowman. He had a new home. He was not melting. He was happy. +Lily liked to eat waffles for breakfast. She liked to put butter and honey on them. She also liked to help her mom make them. She would pour the mix into the waffle maker and wait for the beep. + +One morning, Lily wanted to surprise her mom with waffles. She got up early and went to the kitchen. She found the mix and the waffle maker. She poured some mix into the waffle maker and closed it. She did not wait for the beep. She poured more mix and more mix. The waffle maker was full of mix. It started to spill out and make a big mess. + +Lily did not know what to do. She ran to her mom's room and woke her up. "Mom, mom, I made waffles for you!" she said. "But they are very messy. Please come and see!" + +Her mom got up and followed Lily to the kitchen. She saw the waffle maker and the mix all over the counter and the floor. She was not happy. "Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "You made a big mess. You should not use the waffle maker by yourself. You could get hurt. And you wasted a lot of mix. Now we have no waffles for breakfast." + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to make a mess. She wanted to make her mom happy. She started to cry. "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make you waffles. I love you, mom." + +Her mom hugged her and wiped her tears. "I love you too, Lily. It's okay. You tried to do something nice. But next time, please ask me first. And let's clean up this mess together. Maybe we can have some toast and jam instead." +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is barking and running. Sara and Tom are scared. They run away from the dog. + +"Where can we go?" Sara asks. + +"Let's go to the slide. The dog can't climb the slide," Tom says. + +They plan to go to the slide. They run fast. But the dog is faster. The dog catches up with them. The dog jumps and tries to bite them. + +"Help! Help!" Sara and Tom scream. + +A man hears them. He is the dog's owner. He is troubled. He runs to the dog. He grabs the dog's collar. He pulls the dog away from Sara and Tom. + +"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. My dog is not bad. He just wants to play. He doesn't know how to be gentle. Are you OK?" the man says. + +Sara and Tom are not hurt. But they are still scared. They nod their heads. + +"Thank you for saving us," Sara says. + +"Yes, thank you," Tom says. + +The man smiles. He pets the dog. He tells the dog to be calm. He says sorry again. He walks away with the dog. + +Sara and Tom hug each other. They are happy. They are safe. They are still friends. They go to the slide. They have fun. They forget about the dog. +Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a pet rabbit named Fluffy who lived in a cage. Sometimes they fed Fluffy carrots and lettuce, but they were not very careful. They often left the cage door open or forgot to close it properly. + +One day, Fluffy saw the cage door was open and decided to escape. He hopped out of the cage and ran into the garden. He saw many flowers and plants that looked tasty. He nibbled on some roses, some tulips, and some tomatoes. He did not know that some of the plants were bad for him and could make him sick. + +"Look, Fluffy is out of the cage!" Tim shouted when he saw the rabbit. "We have to catch him before he spoils the garden or gets hurt!" + +Lily ran after Tim and they tried to catch Fluffy. But Fluffy was fast and scared. He ran away from them and hid under a bush. He felt a pain in his tummy and wished he was back in his cage. + +"Fluffy, come out, we are sorry!" Lily called. "We want to help you and take you to the vet. Please don't be afraid of us!" + +Fluffy heard Lily's voice and saw her face. He remembered that she was his friend and that she gave him carrots. He crawled out of the bush and let Lily pick him up. She hugged him gently and put him in the cage. Tim closed the door and locked it. + +"We are sorry, Fluffy, we were not careful with you," Tim said. "We will not leave the cage door open again. We love you and we don't want you to escape or spoil the garden or get sick." + +Fluffy felt better and licked Tim's hand. He was happy to be back in his cage with his friends. He learned that escaping was not fun and that he should not eat things he did not know. He also learned that Tim and Lily cared for him and that he should trust them. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful with your pets and don't let them escape. They might spoil the garden or get sick. They need your love and attention. +Anna liked to hang her drawings on the wall. She used many colors and shapes to make them. She made a pattern with circles, squares and triangles. She was very proud of her pattern. + +One day, a new boy came to her class. His name was Ben. He was shy and did not talk much. He sat next to Anna and looked at her drawings. He liked them too. He wanted to say something, but he was afraid. + +Anna saw him looking at her drawings. She smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Anna. Do you like my pattern?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I do. It's very pretty. I'm Ben." + +Anna said, "Do you like to draw too?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I do. But I don't have any paper or crayons." + +Anna said, "You can use some of mine. Here, take this paper and these crayons. You can hang your drawing next to mine." + +Ben said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very nice." + +Anna and Ben became friends. They drew and hung their drawings together. They made many patterns with different colors and shapes. They were happy. +Jill liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. She felt very proud and happy. She wanted to be a good cook like her mom. + +One day, her mom was making a cake for dad's birthday. She told Jill to watch the oven and not to touch anything. She had to go to the store to buy some candles. She said she would be back soon. + +Jill nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will be good." She watched the oven and saw the cake rising and smelling sweet. She wondered how it tasted. She was very curious and hungry. + +She decided to take a peek at the cake. She opened the oven door a little bit. She saw the cake was brown and fluffy. She reached for a fork to poke it. She did not know the oven was very hot. She burned her hand and dropped the fork. She screamed and cried. + +The fork hit the cake and made a big hole in it. The cake deflated and looked ugly. Jill was very scared and sorry. She tried to fix the cake with her fingers. She made it worse. She heard the door slam. Her mom was back. + +Her mom saw the mess and was very angry and sad. She shouted at Jill, "What did you do? You ruined the cake! You did not listen to me! You are a bad girl!" She took off Jill's apron and threw it in the trash. She shut the oven door and shut Jill in her room. She did not hug her or kiss her. + +Jill felt very bad and lonely. She wished she had not touched the cake. She wished her mom would love her again. She cried and cried. She did not have a good day. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and blocks. But sometimes they quarrel. They quarrel about who gets the red car or the big block. They quarrel so loud that Mom gets angry. + +One day, they are playing in the yard. They see a flame in the sky. It is a big, bright flame. It is a rocket. The rocket is going to the moon. Tom and Sam want to see the rocket. They run to the fence. But the fence is too high. They cannot see the rocket. + +Tom has an idea. He is smart. He says, "Let's get a stool. We can stand on the stool and see the rocket." Sam likes the idea. He is smart, too. He says, "OK. You get the stool. I will wait here." Tom runs to the house. He gets the stool. He brings it to the fence. + +But when he comes back, he sees Sam on the fence. Sam has climbed the fence. He is looking at the rocket. He says, "Wow! The rocket is so cool!" Tom is mad. He says, "Hey! That's not fair! You said you would wait for me!" Sam says, "Sorry. I wanted to see the rocket. You can see it, too. Just climb the fence." + +Tom does not want to climb the fence. He wants to stand on the stool. He says, "No. I got the stool. You should get off the fence. We can share the stool." Sam says, "No. I like the fence. You can climb the fence. It's easy." They start to quarrel. They quarrel so loud that Mom hears them. + +Mom comes to the yard. She sees Tom and Sam quarreling. She sees the stool and the fence. She sees the rocket in the sky. She is not happy. She says, "Stop quarreling, boys. You are both smart. You can both see the rocket. But you have to be nice to each other. You have to take turns. Tom, you can stand on the stool for a minute. Then you can give it to Sam. Sam, you can stay on the fence for a minute. Then you can get off and let Tom climb. OK?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They say, "OK, Mom." They stop quarreling. They take turns. They see the rocket. They say, "Wow! The rocket is so cool!" They smile at each other. They are happy. Mom is happy, too. She says, "Good boys. I'm proud of you. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies." Tom and Sam say, "Yay! Cookies!" They run to the house. They forget about the stool and the fence. They only remember the rocket and the cookies. And they remember to be nice to each other. The end. +Ben and Lily like to create things with their toys. They have many animals, cars, blocks and dolls. One day, they decide to create a zoo in their room. They put the animals in different places and make sounds for them. + +"Look, this is the lion. He is the king of the zoo. He says roar!" Ben says, holding a yellow toy lion. + +"And this is the giraffe. She is very tall and eats leaves. She says mmm!" Lily says, holding a brown toy giraffe. + +They have fun playing with their zoo and making stories for the animals. They pretend to be zookeepers and visitors. They feed the animals and take care of them. + +But then, something bad happens. Ben trips over a car and falls on the floor. He hurts his knee and starts to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Ben says, rubbing his knee. + +Lily hears him and runs to him. She sees his knee is red and has a small cut. + +"Oh no, Ben! You are hurt! I'm sorry!" Lily says, hugging him. + +She gets a band-aid from their mom and puts it on his knee. She kisses his cheek and says, "There, there. It will be better soon. You are brave." + +Ben stops crying and smiles at her. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are kind. I love you." + +They hug each other and go back to their zoo. They play some more and have fun. They are happy. +Tom and Amy are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big red ball. They want to play with it. + +"Can we go and get the ball?" Tom asks Amy. + +"Yes, let's go!" Amy says. They run to the ball. It is very shiny and round. + +But when they get to the ball, they see a cut on it. The air is coming out. The ball is getting smaller. + +"Oh no, the ball is broken!" Amy says. She is sad. + +"Who did this?" Tom says. He is angry. + +They look around. They see a boy with a knife. He is laughing. + +"I did it! I cut the ball! It was fun!" the boy says. + +Tom and Amy are shocked. They do not like the boy. He is mean. + +"That is not nice! That is bad!" Tom says. He picks up the ball. He throws it at the boy. + +The ball hits the boy on the head. He falls down. He cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" the boy says. + +Tom and Amy are happy. They teach the boy a lesson. They go and find another ball. They play with it. They have fun. +Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have a secret place in the park. It is a big tree with a hole. They can go inside the hole and hide. + +One day, they find something new in the hole. It is a long and flexible thing. It is green and shiny. It looks like a snake, but it is not alive. Anna and Ben are very excited. They want to play with the thing. + +They take the thing out of the hole. They make it into different shapes. They make it into a circle, a triangle, a square, and a star. They laugh and have fun. They pretend the thing is a belt, a necklace, a crown, and a wand. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a dog. The dog sees the thing and wants to play too. The dog runs to Anna and Ben and grabs the thing with its mouth. It pulls and shakes the thing. It breaks the thing into two pieces. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They lose their new toy. They say goodbye to the dog and go back to the hole. They hope to find another thing to play with. They still have their secret place and their friendship. They are happy again. +Tim and Mia like to swim in the sea. They wear masks and fins to see the fish and the reef. The reef is a big rock with many colors and shapes. It is home to many sea animals. + +One day, Tim and Mia swim to a new part of the reef. They see a big hole in the rock. They are curious and want to look inside. They swim closer and closer to the hole. + +But they do not see the big wave coming. The wave is strong and fast. It pushes Tim and Mia into the hole. They are scared and try to swim out. But the hole is narrow and dark. They cannot see the way. + +They feel something touch their feet. It is a rope. The rope is tied to a boat. The boat belongs to their dad. He saw them fall into the hole. He threw the rope to help them. + +Tim and Mia grab the rope and pull. Their dad pulls too. They feel the rope move. They see the light. They are out of the hole. They are safe. + +They swim to the boat and hug their dad. He is happy and proud. He says they are brave and successful. They say they are sorry and thankful. They learned a lesson. They will not swim to the hole again. They will stay close to their dad. They will enjoy the reef and the sea. +Sara was an adventurous girl who liked to learn new things. She saw a big balloon in the park and wanted to touch it. She ran to the balloon and said, "Hello, balloon! Can I play with you?" + +The balloon did not answer, but it bobbed up and down in the air. Sara reached for the balloon, but it was too high. She jumped and jumped, but she could not catch it. She felt sad and angry. She wanted the balloon to be her friend. + +She saw a boy with a stick near the balloon. She ran to the boy and said, "Please, can you help me get the balloon? I want to play with it." + +The boy looked at Sara and said, "No, this is my balloon. I found it in the park. You can't have it. Go away." + +Sara felt more sad and angry. She did not like the boy. He was mean and selfish. She said, "That's not fair. You can't keep the balloon. It belongs to everyone. Share it with me." + +The boy said, "No, I won't share it. It's mine. Go away or I'll pop it with my stick." + +Sara did not want the balloon to pop. She liked the balloon. It was big and colorful and happy. She said, "Please, don't pop it. That's not nice. The balloon is alive. It has feelings. It wants to be free." + +The boy said, "No, it's not alive. It's just a balloon. It has no feelings. It's just air and rubber. I can do whatever I want with it." + +Sara did not agree with the boy. She thought the balloon was alive. She thought it had feelings. She thought it wanted to be free. She decided to do something brave. She grabbed the stick from the boy and threw it away. Then she grabbed the balloon and ran away. She said, "Sorry, boy, but I have to save the balloon. It's not yours. It's everyone's. Goodbye, balloon. Be free and happy." + +She let go of the balloon and watched it fly away in the sky. She felt happy and proud. She had learned something new. She had learned to stand up for what she believed in. She had learned to be adventurous. She smiled and waved at the balloon. She hoped it would find a new friend. She hoped it would be happy. +Sara was a gifted girl. She could read and write and draw very well. She liked to go to the park and feed the geese. She had a special goose friend, who she called Gigi. Gigi was very smart and friendly. She would come to Sara when she called her name and eat from her hand. + +One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought some bread for Gigi and the other geese. She saw Gigi near the pond and ran to her. She said, "Hi, Gigi! I have some bread for you!" But Gigi did not come to her. She stayed with another goose, who was bigger and louder. Sara felt sad and confused. She did not understand why Gigi did not want to be with her. + +She tried to get closer to Gigi, but the other goose hissed and snapped at her. Sara was scared and ran back to her mom and dad. She cried and said, "Gigi does not like me anymore! She likes the mean goose better!" Her mom and dad hugged her and said, "It's okay, Sara. Sometimes geese have mates. They like to be with each other and make babies. Gigi still likes you, but she has a new friend now. Maybe you can make a new friend too." + +Sara wiped her tears and looked around. She saw a little boy who was feeding some ducks. He smiled at her and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to feed the ducks with me?" Sara smiled back and said, "Yes, I do. I'm Sara. I like ducks and geese." She took some bread from her mom and dad and went to Ben. They fed the ducks and talked and laughed. Sara felt happy again. She understood that Gigi had a mate, and she had a new friend. She was a gifted girl. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a cat in the park. The cat is very small and dirty. It has no collar and no home. Lily and Ben feel sorry for the cat. They want to help it. + +"Can we take it home?" Lily asks Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe mom and dad will be mad," Ben says. + +"Please, Ben. The cat is poor. It needs us," Lily says. + +"Okay, okay. But we have to be careful. And we have to find some milk for it," Ben says. + +They put the cat in a box and sneak it into Ben's house. They go to the kitchen and pour some milk in a bowl. They give the bowl to the cat. The cat drinks the milk and purrs. It looks happy and grateful. + +"See, Ben? The cat likes us. Can we keep it?" Lily says. + +"I don't know, Lily. We have to ask mom and dad first. And we have to give it a name," Ben says. + +"How about...Kiss? Because it's so sweet and cuddly," Lily says. + +"Kiss? That's a funny name. But I like it. Kiss, do you like your name?" Ben says. + +The cat meows and rubs its head against Ben's hand. Then it jumps on Lily's lap and licks her face. + +"Look, Ben! Kiss is kissing me!" Lily says. + +They laugh and hug the cat. They hope mom and dad will let them keep Kiss. They think Kiss is the best cat in the world. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big ball that looked like the universe. It had stars and planets and moons on it, and it was very flexible. They could squeeze it, bounce it, roll it, and throw it. + +One day, they were playing with the ball in the backyard, when Lila had an idea. She wanted to tease Ben and make him chase her. She grabbed the ball and ran away, shouting, "The universe is mine, the universe is mine!" + +Ben was angry and ran after her. He wanted the ball back. He shouted, "No, it's not, it's ours, give it back!" + +They ran around the yard, dodging the trees and the flowers and the swing. Lila was faster and more flexible than Ben, and she always managed to escape him. She laughed and taunted him, "You can't catch me, you can't catch me!" + +Ben was getting tired and frustrated. He wished Lila would stop teasing him and share the ball. He loved his sister, but he didn't like it when she was mean to him. He thought of a plan. He pretended to give up and sat down on the grass, panting. He said, "Fine, you can have the ball. I don't want it anymore." + +Lila was surprised and curious. She stopped running and came closer to Ben. She said, "Really? You don't want the ball?" + +Ben nodded and looked sad. He said, "No, I don't. It's just a ball. It's not the real universe. The real universe is bigger and more beautiful and more amazing. And you can't have it, because it belongs to everyone." + +Lila looked at the ball in her hands. She realized that Ben was right. The ball was just a toy, and it was not fair to keep it from him. She felt sorry for teasing him and making him angry. She said, "You're right, Ben. I'm sorry. I was being silly and selfish. The ball is ours, and we can play with it together. And maybe someday, we can see the real universe, too." + +Ben smiled and hugged his sister. He said, "I'm sorry, too. I was being stubborn and jealous. I love you, Lila. And I love the ball, too. It's a fun toy, and it reminds me of how big and wonderful the world is. And how lucky we are to have each other." + +They got up and held the ball between them. They looked at the sky and saw the sun and the clouds and the birds. They wondered what else was out there, in the real universe. They decided to keep playing and exploring and learning, and to always share and be kind to each other. + +The end. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play dress-up. They had a big box of clothes and hats and shoes that they could try on. One day, they found a jolly red coat with a zipper and a belt that you could tie. Sara wanted to wear it, but Ben wanted it too. + +"Let me have it, Sara!" Ben said. "I saw it first!" + +"No, I want it, Ben!" Sara said. "It is my turn!" + +They pulled and tugged on the coat, but neither of them would let go. They started to cry and yell. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the twins fighting over the coat and sighed. + +"Children, children, why are you so upset?" she asked. "There is a simple way to solve this problem. You can take turns wearing the coat. Sara, you can wear it for ten minutes, and then Ben can wear it for ten minutes. How does that sound?" + +Sara and Ben stopped crying and looked at each other. They nodded and agreed to share the coat. Mom helped Sara put on the coat and zip it up. She tied the belt around her waist and gave her a hug. + +"There you go, Sara. You look very pretty in the coat. Now, you can play with Ben for ten minutes, and then you can give him the coat. OK?" + +"OK, Mom. Thank you!" Sara said. She smiled and ran to Ben. They decided to play pirates with the coat. Sara was the captain and Ben was the mate. They had a lot of fun. + +Ten minutes later, Mom came back and said, "Sara, your time is up. Now, it is Ben's turn to wear the coat. Can you please give it to him?" + +Sara nodded and took off the coat. She handed it to Ben and said, "Here you go, Ben. You can be the captain now. I will be the mate." + +Ben thanked Sara and put on the coat. Mom zipped it up and tied the belt around him. She gave him a hug and said, "You look very handsome in the coat, Ben. Now, you can play with Sara for ten minutes. OK?" + +"OK, Mom. Thank you!" Ben said. He smiled and ran to Sara. They decided to play firefighters with the coat. Ben was the chief and Sara was the helper. They had a lot of fun. + +Mom watched them play and smiled. She was glad that they learned to share and take turns. She thought that the jolly red coat was a good thing to have. It made them happy and creative. She wondered what they would play next. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play near the river. They had a kayak that their dad gave them. It was blue and shiny and they loved to paddle it on the water. + +One day, a boy named Sam came to the river. He saw the kayak and wanted to try it. He asked Tom and Lily if he could borrow it. Tom and Lily said no, because it was their kayak and they did not know Sam. + +Sam was angry and said, "Your kayak is dull and old. I have a better one at home. It is red and fast and has a motor. You are silly to value this kayak so much." + +Tom and Lily felt sad and hurt by Sam's words. They wondered if their kayak was really dull and old. They looked at it and saw that it had some scratches and dents. They thought maybe Sam was right. + +They decided to go home and ask their dad. They told him what Sam said and asked him if their kayak was dull and old. Their dad hugged them and said, "Your kayak is not dull and old. It is blue and shiny and you love to paddle it on the water. That is what makes it valuable. It does not matter what Sam says or what he has. He does not know how to value things. He only cares about what they look like or what they can do. He does not care about how they make him feel or how he treats them. He is not a good friend to have." + +Tom and Lily understood what their dad said. They felt happy and proud of their kayak. They decided to ignore Sam and keep playing with their kayak. They learned that value is not about how things look or what they can do, but about how they make you feel and how you treat them. They learned to value their kayak and each other. +Lily wanted to ride her bicycle, but she was scared. She had never ridden a bicycle before. She saw her big brother Sam ride his bicycle very fast and do tricks. She wished she could be like him. + +"Come on, Lily, you can do it!" Sam said. He held her bicycle and helped her get on. "I will not let go until you say so. Just pedal and steer and look ahead." + +Lily nodded, but she felt her legs tremble. She put her feet on the pedals and pushed. The bicycle moved a little bit, but then it wobbled. Lily gasped and grabbed the handlebars. + +"Good, good, you are doing great!" Sam said. "Don't be afraid, just keep pedaling. You are not going slow, you are going fast!" + +Lily tried to believe him, but she felt her heart beat fast. She looked at the ground and saw the stones and the grass. She thought she would fall and hurt herself. + +"Look up, Lily, look up!" Sam said. "See the big tree over there? That's where we are going. Just follow me and you will be fine." + +Lily lifted her head and saw the big tree. She also saw Sam smiling at her. He looked happy and proud. He let go of her bicycle and rode next to her. + +"See, Lily, you are riding a bicycle!" Sam said. "You are not trembling, you are brave! You are not slow, you are fast! You are like me, you are a bicycle rider!" + +Lily felt a warm feeling in her chest. She smiled and pedaled harder. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She looked at the big tree and felt excited. She was riding a bicycle! She was brave! She was fast! She was like Sam, she was a bicycle rider! +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. + +"Look, our snowman is so clever!" Sara says. "He can see and smell everything." + +"Yes, he is clever, but he is also cold," Ben says. "He needs a friend to keep him warm." + +Sara thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She runs to the house and comes back with a tray. On the tray, there are two cups of hot chocolate and two cookies. + +"Let's have a snack with our snowman," Sara says. "We can share our hot chocolate and cookies with him. Maybe he will like them." + +Ben agrees. They sit down next to the snowman and put the tray on the snow. They each take a cup and a cookie and offer one to the snowman. + +"Here, Mr. Snowman, this is for you," Sara says. "It is hot and sweet and yummy. It will make you feel good." + +The snowman does not answer. He does not move. He does not drink or eat. + +"Why doesn't he like it?" Ben asks. "Is he not hungry?" + +Sara shakes her head. She knows why. She whispers to Ben. + +"Mr. Snowman is made of ice," she says. "Ice does not like hot things. Hot things make ice melt. If he drinks or eats, he will disappear." + +Ben understands. He feels sad. He likes the snowman. He does not want him to disappear. + +"Then what can we do for him?" he asks. "How can we make him happy?" + +Sara thinks again. She has another idea. She smiles. + +"We can promise him something," she says. "We can promise him that we will always be his friends. We can promise him that we will come back and play with him every day. We can promise him that we will love him no matter what." + +Ben likes the idea. He smiles too. + +"Okay, let's do that," he says. "Let's make a promise to our snowman." + +They hold hands and look at the snowman. They say together. + +"Mr. Snowman, we promise you that we will always be your friends. We promise you that we will come back and play with you every day. We promise you that we will love you no matter what." + +The snowman does not answer. He does not move. He does not drink or eat. But he seems to smile. He seems to be happy. + +Sara and Ben hug the snowman. They feel his cold and soft and wet. They feel his clever and kind and brave. They feel his happy and grateful and loved. + +They are happy too. They have a new friend. A friend made of ice. A friend who keeps a promise. +Lily was sick. She felt hot and tired. Her mom was worried. She wanted to know how hot Lily was. She looked for a thermometer. A thermometer is a thing that tells how hot you are. + +She could not find the thermometer in the bathroom. She could not find it in the kitchen. She could not find it in the bedroom. She asked Lily, "Do you know where the thermometer is?" + +Lily thought hard. She remembered she played with the thermometer yesterday. She pretended it was a rocket. She made zoom sounds and flew it around the room. She hid it under her pillow. She said, "I know where it is, mom. It is under my pillow." + +Mom went to Lily's bed and lifted the pillow. She found the thermometer. She was happy. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good helper. Now let me see how hot you are." + +She put the thermometer in Lily's mouth and waited. The thermometer beeped. It showed a number. Mom looked at the number and smiled. She said, "You are not very hot, Lily. You just have a little fever. You will be better soon. I will give you some water and a hug." She hugged Lily and kissed her forehead. Lily felt better. She hugged mom and said, "I love you, mom." +Bee was a restless little bee. She did not like to stay in the hive with the other bees. She wanted to fly and see new things. But the queen bee said no. She said Bee had to work and make honey. She said flying was dangerous and only for scouts. + +One day, Bee saw a big hole in the hive. She was curious. She flew out of the hole and into the air. She felt free and happy. She saw flowers and trees and birds. She wanted to explore more. She did not think of the hive or the queen bee. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was a bear. The bear smelled the honey in the hive. He wanted to eat it. He ran to the hive and started to scratch and bite it. The other bees heard the noise and got scared. They flew out of the hive and tried to sting the bear. But the bear was big and strong. He did not care about the stings. He kept breaking the hive. + +Bee saw the bear and the hive. She felt sorry and scared. She wanted to help the other bees. She flew back to the hive and tried to sting the bear too. But the bear saw her and swatted her with his paw. Bee fell to the ground. She was hurt and sad. She lay there and wished she had stayed in the hive. She learned that flying was not always fun and that the hive was her home. +Ben was a lonely boy. He had no friends to play with at school. He liked to draw pictures of dogs, because he wished he had a dog of his own. He drew big dogs and small dogs, brown dogs and black dogs, fluffy dogs and smooth dogs. He drew them with happy faces and wagging tails. + +One day, his teacher said they would have a display of their drawings in the hall. She asked the children to pick their best drawing and write their name on it. Ben picked his favorite dog, a big brown dog with a red collar. He wrote "Ben" in big letters on the corner. He was proud of his drawing. + +The next day, the children went to see the display. They saw all kinds of drawings: flowers, cars, houses, people. And they saw Ben's dog. Some children laughed at Ben's dog. They said it was ugly and silly. They said Ben had no talent. They said Ben was a loser. Ben felt very sad. He wished he could run away with his dog. + +But then, something amazing happened. A man came into the hall. He was wearing a blue uniform and a badge. He was a police officer. He saw Ben's dog and smiled. He walked over to Ben and said, "Hello, I'm Officer Mike. I like your dog. He looks just like my dog, Rex. Rex is a police dog. He helps me catch bad guys and find lost people. He's very brave and smart. Do you want to meet him?" + +Ben nodded. He couldn't believe it. Officer Mike took him outside, where a big brown dog with a red collar was waiting in a police car. The dog barked and licked Ben's face. Ben smiled and hugged the dog. He felt very happy. He had made a new friend. And he wasn't lonely anymore. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play in the garden. She liked to pick flowers and smell them. She also liked to watch the flies that buzzed around the plants. She thought they were funny and fast. + +One day, she saw a big, red flower that looked very pretty. She wanted to have it for herself. She pulled it out of the ground and ran to her room. She put it in a vase and smiled. She said to the flower, "You are mine now. You are the best flower ever." + +But the next day, the flower did not look so pretty. It was wilting and drooping. Its petals were falling off. Lily was sad and angry. She said to the flower, "Why are you so ugly now? You are a bad flower. You are not the best flower ever." + +Then she heard a buzz in her ear. It was a fly. It landed on the flower and said, "You are the one who is bad. You took the flower from its home. You did not give it water or sun. You did not let it live. You made it rot. You are not a good girl." + +Lily was shocked and ashamed. She realized that the fly was right. She had been selfish and cruel. She had hurt the flower and herself. She said to the fly, "I am sorry. I did not know. I did not mean to. Please forgive me." + +The fly said, "It is too late for the flower. But it is not too late for you. You can learn from your mistake. You can be kind and gentle. You can respect and care for all living things. You can be a good girl." + +Lily nodded and thanked the fly. She took the flower out of the vase and buried it in the garden. She said a prayer for the flower and hoped it would be happy. She also said sorry to the other flowers and promised to never pick them again. She decided to only look at them and admire them. She learned that flowers are delicate and beautiful, but they also need love and freedom. She learned that flies are not just funny and fast, but also wise and helpful. She learned that being good is better than having things. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. It was spring and the flowers were pretty. They saw a big yellow ball in the grass. Tom ran to get it. + +"Look, Lily, I found a ball!" he shouted. + +"Let me see!" Lily said. She followed Tom. + +But when they got to the ball, it was not a ball. It was a balloon. And it had a hole in it. The air was coming out. + +"Oh no!" Tom said. "The ball is broken!" + +He tried to hold the balloon, but it was too late. The balloon got smaller and smaller. Then it disappeared. + +"Where did it go?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe the wind took it." + +They looked around, but they could not see the balloon. + +"That was a stupid balloon," Tom said. "It was not a real ball." + +Lily nodded. She felt sad. She liked the balloon. + +"Let's find another ball," she said. + +"OK," Tom said. "Maybe we can find a red one. Or a blue one. Or a green one." + +They held hands and ran to the playground. They hoped to find a better ball. A ball that would not disappear. +Jill and Ben were friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they found a pair of sunglasses on the ground. They were big and shiny and had stars on them. + +"Wow, look at these!" Jill said. "They are so cool!" + +"Can I try them on?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can have a turn," Jill said. She put the sunglasses on her face and smiled. "How do I look?" + +"You look like a star!" Ben said. He clapped his hands. + +Jill and Ben took turns wearing the sunglasses. They pretended to be movie stars and singers. They had a lot of fun. + +But they did not see the big dog that was coming their way. The dog was not mean, but he was curious. He saw the sunglasses and wanted to play with them. He ran towards Jill and Ben, barking loudly. + +"Uh-oh, what is that?" Jill said. She saw the dog and got scared. + +"Run, run!" Ben said. He grabbed Jill's hand and they ran away. + +But they were too slow. The dog was faster. He caught up with them and jumped on them. He knocked them down and took the sunglasses from Jill's face. He ran away with them, wagging his tail. + +"Hey, come back!" Jill said. She was sad and angry. "Those are our sunglasses!" + +"Bad dog, bad dog!" Ben said. He was also sad and angry. "Give them back!" + +But the dog did not listen. He ran away with his new toy. He thought it was a bone. + +Jill and Ben got up and dusted themselves off. They looked at each other and sighed. + +"Well, that was not fun," Jill said. + +"No, it was not," Ben said. + +They decided to go home and tell their moms what happened. Maybe they would get new sunglasses someday. But they learned a lesson. They should always be careful with their things. And they should always watch out for big dogs. +Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys and books to play with. Lily likes to read books and learn new things. Ben likes to pretend and make up stories. + +Lily picks up a book with pictures of animals. She opens it and asks Ben, "What is this animal? It has a long nose and big ears." + +Ben looks at the book and smiles. He says, "That is a fake animal. It is not real. I made it up. It is called a snorf. It can fly and talk and do magic." + +Lily frowns and says, "No, Ben, that is not a fake animal. It is a real animal. It is called an elephant. It can not fly or talk or do magic. It lives in a place called Africa. I learned that from another book." + +Ben shakes his head and says, "No, Lily, you are wrong. That book is fake. It tells lies. My book is real. It tells the truth. Snorfs are the best animals in the world." + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They raise their voices and say, "Fake! Real! Fake! Real!" + +Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees them holding the books and fighting. She says, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? Why are you yelling?" + +Lily and Ben stop and look at Mom. They both say, "Mom, answer us. Which book is real and which book is fake?" +Anna likes to make bracelets with beads. She has many beads of different colors and shapes. She likes to put them on a string and tie a knot. She makes bracelets for her friends and family. + +One day, Anna wants to make a special bracelet for her mom. She picks the prettiest beads she can find. She puts them on a string and makes a pattern. She is very happy with her bracelet. She wants to give it to her mom as a surprise. + +But then, something bad happens. She drops the string and the beads fall off. They roll all over the floor. Anna is very upset. She cries and cries. She does not want to lose her beads. She does not want to start over. She wants to complete her bracelet. + +Her mom hears her crying and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the beads on the floor and the string in Anna's hand. She hugs Anna and tells her it is okay. She helps her pick up the beads and put them back on the string. She tells her she is proud of her for making such a beautiful bracelet. She tells her she loves her very much. + +Anna stops crying and smiles. She thanks her mom for helping her. She completes her bracelet and ties a knot. She gives it to her mom and says it is a gift. Her mom puts it on her wrist and says it is the best gift ever. They hug and kiss. Anna is happy again. She likes to make bracelets with beads. +Tom and Mia are friends. They love to play together. They have many toys and games. They like to share and help each other. + +One day, they play with blocks. They build a big tower. It is not easy, but they try hard. They are happy and proud. + +"Look at our tower!" Tom says. "It is so tall and strong!" + +"Yes, it is!" Mia says. "We are good builders!" + +They smile and hug. They are happy and proud. + +But then, a big dog comes. He runs and barks. He bumps into the tower. The blocks fall down. The tower is gone. + +Tom and Mia are sad and angry. They cry and shout. + +"Bad dog!" Tom says. "You broke our tower!" + +"Go away!" Mia says. "You are not nice!" + +The dog is scared and sorry. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He wants to play and be friends. + +Tom and Mia stop crying and shouting. They look at the dog. He is cute and soft. They feel sorry for him. + +"Maybe he did not mean to break our tower," Tom says. "Maybe he just wanted to play." + +"Maybe he is lonely and bored," Mia says. "Maybe he needs a friend." + +They pet and hug the dog. They are kind and gentle. + +The dog is happy and grateful. He barks and jumps. He wants to play and be friends. + +Tom and Mia smile and laugh. They are not sad and angry anymore. They have a new friend. + +They play with the dog. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They run and chase him. They have fun and joy. + +They love to play together. They are happy and proud. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play hockey in the park. They have sticks and a ball. They run and hit the ball with the sticks. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He has a stick and a ball too. He says he wants to play hockey with Tom and Sam. But he is not nice. He hits the ball very hard and fast. He does not let Tom and Sam have a turn. He laughs when they miss the ball. He says they are clumsy and bad at hockey. + +Tom and Sam are sad and angry. They do not want to play with the big boy. They want to play with each other. They try to tell the big boy to go away. But he does not listen. He says he is the best at hockey and he can do what he wants. + +Tom and Sam do not know what to do. They look at each other. They shrug. They have an idea. They pretend to be clumsy and bad at hockey. They miss the ball on purpose. They fall down and drop their sticks. They act silly and funny. + +The big boy does not like this. He thinks Tom and Sam are stupid and boring. He does not want to play with them anymore. He says they are no fun and he leaves. He takes his stick and ball with him. + +Tom and Sam are happy. They have their park back. They pick up their sticks and ball. They play hockey with each other. They have fun. They are not clumsy and bad at hockey. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom. One day, mom made a big pie for grandma, who lived far away. Mom said, "We need to mail this pie to grandma, so she can have a nice treat. Can you help me pack it?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and ran to the kitchen. They found a big box and some paper. They wrapped the pie carefully and put it in the box. Then they wrote "To Grandma" on the box. Mom smiled and said, "Good job, Tom and Lily. You are very brave and smart. Now let's go to the post office and mail the pie." + +Tom and Lily put on their coats and hats and followed mom to the car. They drove to the post office and carried the box inside. They saw a man behind a counter. He had a big smile and a badge. Mom said, "Hello, sir. We want to mail this pie to grandma. Can you help us?" + +The man looked at the box and said, "Sure, I can help you. What a nice pie. Grandma will love it. Where does grandma live?" Mom told him grandma's address and he put a sticker on the box. He said, "This pie will get to grandma in two days. It will be fresh and yummy. You are very kind and thoughtful. Here is a stamp for each of you." He gave Tom and Lily a stamp with a picture of a bird. + +Tom and Lily thanked the man and stuck the stamps on their hands. They waved goodbye and went back to the car. Mom said, "You did a great job, Tom and Lily. You helped me mail the pie to grandma. She will be very happy and proud of you. You are my brave and sweet twins. I love you very much." + +Tom and Lily hugged mom and said, "We love you too, mom. And we love grandma. And we love pie." They laughed and drove home. They hoped grandma would enjoy the pie and call them soon. They felt warm and happy in their hearts. +Lila and Ben were friends who liked to go to the zoo. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the hippo. The hippo was big and gray and had a big mouth. He liked to swim and splash in the water. + +One day, they saw a new hippo in the zoo. He was smaller and lighter than the other hippo. He looked shy and scared. Lila and Ben wanted to say hello to him, but the other hippo was mean. He said, "Go away! This is my pool. You are too small and weak to swim with me. You are not a real hippo." + +The new hippo felt sad and lonely. He wanted to make friends, but he did not know how. He said, "Please, can I swim with you? I am a hippo too. I just came from a far place. I do not have a home or a family." + +The other hippo laughed and said, "No, you cannot. You are not welcome here. You are too different and ugly. You do not belong here. Go find another pool." + +Lila and Ben felt sorry for the new hippo. They did not like the other hippo's words. They said, "That is not nice. You should not be rude to the new hippo. He is a hippo too. He needs a friend. You should share your pool and be kind." + +The other hippo snorted and said, "Why should I? I am the biggest and strongest hippo here. I do not need friends. I do not care about anyone but myself. I can do whatever I want." + +Lila and Ben shook their heads and said, "That is not true. You are not the best hippo. You are the worst hippo. You are selfish and mean. You do not know how to be humble. You should learn from the new hippo. He is humble and polite. He does not boast or bully. He is a better hippo than you." + +The other hippo was angry and said, "You are wrong. You are silly and stupid. You do not know anything. I will show you who is the best hippo. I will splash you with water and scare you away." + +The other hippo opened his big mouth and tried to splash Lila and Ben with water. But he did not see the keeper coming. The keeper saw the other hippo's bad behavior and said, "Stop that! You are being naughty. You are not allowed to splash the visitors or the other hippo. You need a time out. Come with me." + +The keeper took the other hippo away from the pool and put him in a small pen. The other hippo felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was wrong. He wished he had been nicer to the new hippo and to Lila and Ben. + +The new hippo was happy and grateful. He thanked Lila and Ben for being his friends and for standing up for him. He said, "You are very brave and kind. You taught me a lot. You made me feel welcome and loved. You are the best friends a hippo could have." + +Lila and Ben smiled and said, "You are welcome. You are a good hippo. You deserve to be happy and free. You are our friend too. We hope you will stay here and swim with us." + +The new hippo nodded and said, "I hope so too. I like it here. I like you. I learned a lesson today. It is not how big or strong you are that matters. It is how humble and nice you are that counts." + +The end. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have a big box of toys with many things inside. They have cars, dolls, balls, books, and more. + +One day, they find a zipper in the box. They do not know what it is. They think it is a snake or a worm. They are scared of it. They want to throw it away. + +"Look, Ben, a zipper!" Mia says. "It is long and shiny and has teeth. It is terrible!" + +"Let me see, Mia," Ben says. He takes the zipper from Mia. He feels it with his fingers. It is cold and hard and smooth. He sees a little thing on the zipper. He pulls it up and down. The zipper opens and closes. He thinks it is fun. + +"Wow, Mia, it is not a snake or a worm. It is a zipper. You can make it big or small. You can play with it. It is not terrible. It is cool!" + +"Really, Ben?" Mia says. She is curious. She wants to try the zipper too. She takes it from Ben. She pulls it up and down. She likes the sound it makes. She smiles. + +"See, Mia, it is cool!" Ben says. "But what can we do with it?" + +They think for a moment. They look around their room. They see their teddy bears on the bed. They have an idea. + +"Let's weigh our teddy bears with the zipper!" Ben says. + +"How, Ben?" Mia says. + +"Like this, Mia," Ben says. He takes his teddy bear and puts the zipper around its belly. He pulls the zipper until it is tight. He lifts the teddy bear with the zipper. He feels how heavy it is. + +"Wow, Ben, you are strong!" Mia says. + +"Thank you, Mia," Ben says. "Now you try with your teddy bear." + +Mia does the same. She puts the zipper around her teddy bear's belly. She pulls the zipper until it is tight. She lifts the teddy bear with the zipper. She feels how heavy it is. + +"Wow, Mia, you are strong too!" Ben says. + +"Thank you, Ben," Mia says. + +They are happy. They laugh and hug their teddy bears. They like the zipper. They think it is not terrible. It is cool. They play with it all day. +Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big truck with a lot of boxes. They are curious. They want to see what is inside the boxes. + +They sneak behind the truck and peek inside a box. They see a shiny thing that looks like a stick. It has a button on it. Tom picks it up and presses the button. + +"Wow!" Tom says. "Look, Mia, it makes a red light!" + +Mia sees the red light. She thinks it is weird. She does not like it. She is scared. + +"Put it down, Tom!" Mia says. "It is not a toy! It might be dangerous!" + +But Tom does not listen. He thinks it is fun. He points the stick at a tree and presses the button again. The red light hits the tree and makes a loud noise. The tree catches fire. + +"Help!" Tom and Mia scream. They drop the stick and run away from the truck. They see a man running towards them. He is angry. He is the owner of the truck. He is a spy. He was hiding the lasers in the boxes. + +"Hey, you kids!" the man yells. "What did you do to my lasers? You ruined my mission!" + +Tom and Mia are sorry. They did not know the stick was a laser. They did not know the man was a spy. They did not mean to cause trouble. + +They say sorry to the man and run to their mom. They tell her what happened. She hugs them and says they are brave. She says they should never touch things that are not theirs. She says they should always be careful. + +Tom and Mia nod. They learned their lesson. They will never peek inside boxes again. They will never play with lasers again. They will never mess with spies again. They will only play with their toys. They will only have fun. They will only be safe. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big knife on the table. Tom wanted to touch it, but Lily said no. + +"That is a bad thing. It can hurt you. Mommy said we cannot touch it," Lily said. + +"But I want to see it. It is shiny and sharp. I can be careful," Tom said. + +They disagreed. Tom tried to reach for the knife, but Lily pulled him back. They started to fight. They pushed and pulled and shouted. + +Mommy heard them and came to the kitchen. She saw the knife and the empty table. She was angry and scared. + +"What are you doing? How did you get the knife? This is very dangerous. You could have cut yourself or each other. You are not allowed to play with knives. Ever," Mommy said. + +She took the knife and put it away. She made Tom and Lily sit on the couch. She told them they had to say sorry and hug. + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They did not want to make Mommy mad. They did not want to hurt each other. They said sorry and hugged. + +Mommy hugged them too. She said she loved them, but they had to listen to her and be safe. She said they could play with something else. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They went to their room and played with their toys. They did not disagree anymore. They were happy. +Lily liked to look for bugs in the garden. She saw ants, spiders, worms and snails. One day, she saw a beetle that was blue. It was shiny and had spots on its back. Lily thought it was pretty and wanted to keep it. + +She picked up the beetle and put it in a jar. She made holes in the lid so it could breathe. She gave it some leaves and water. She named it Bluey and put it on her shelf. She told her mom and dad about her new friend. + +But the next day, Lily saw that Bluey was not moving. She shook the jar and tapped the glass. She called his name and asked him to wake up. But Bluey did not wake up. He was still and quiet. Lily felt sad and cried. + +Her mom came and hugged her. She told her that Bluey was not alive anymore. She said that sometimes bugs do not live very long. She said that Lily could bury him in the garden and say goodbye. She said that Lily could remember him and how he made her happy. + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She took the jar and went to the garden. She dug a small hole and put Bluey in it. She covered him with dirt and put a flower on top. She said, "Goodbye, Bluey. I love you. I believe you are in a good place now." She smiled and felt better. She knew that Bluey was still her friend, even if he was not with her. +Sara and Max liked to play pretend. They had a big box of costumes and toys. One day, they decided to be superheroes. Sara put on a purple cape and a mask. Max wore a blue suit and a helmet. + +They ran around the house, making noises and saving the day. They pretended to fly, to shoot lasers, to climb walls. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It came from the kitchen. They stopped and looked at each other. + +"What was that?" Sara asked. + +"Let's go see!" Max said. + +They tiptoed to the kitchen. They saw a big mess. There was ice everywhere. The fridge was open and frozen. The water was frozen. The food was frozen. Even the ceiling was frozen. + +They gasped. They saw a man in a white coat and goggles. He had a big gun in his hand. It looked like it could freeze anything. + +He saw them and smiled. He pointed the gun at them. + +"Hello, little superheroes. I am Dr. Freeze. And I have a surprise for you. You are going to be my frozen statues!" + +He pulled the trigger. A blast of cold air came out of the gun. + +Sara and Max were scared. They did not want to be frozen. They did not know what to do. + +But then, Sara had an idea. She remembered something from her costume. She reached for her mask. She threw it at the gun. + +The mask hit the gun. It made a loud sound. The gun broke. It stopped working. + +Dr. Freeze was angry. He dropped the gun. He tried to grab the mask. + +But Sara and Max were faster. They ran to the door. They opened it. They yelled for help. + +"Mom! Dad! There is a bad man in the kitchen! He tried to freeze us!" + +Mom and Dad came running. They saw Dr. Freeze. They saw the ice. They were shocked. + +They called the police. The police came and took Dr. Freeze away. They said he was a bad scientist. He wanted to freeze the whole world. + +Sara and Max were brave. They saved the day. They hugged Mom and Dad. They were happy. + +They cleaned up the mess. They put away their costumes and toys. They had some hot chocolate. They warmed up. + +They decided to play something else tomorrow.

One day, his mom gave him a delicious apple and asked him to take it to his room. + +Joe was excited to try the apple, so he took it with him. When he got to his room, he decided to break the apple in half. He used his hands to do it, and it worked! + +Joe was full of ideas. He thought it would be fun to make delicious apple chips using his broken halves. He ran downstairs to get his mom’s help. + +“Mom! Mom!†He shouted. “I have a great idea! Can you help me make apple chips?†+ +His mom smiled and said, “Yes! That sounds like a wonderful idea. Let’s get to work!†+ +Joe was so happy with the idea, and he followed his mom’s instructions.

Everyone loves to drink the water when you’re around!†+ +The crab looked out at the ocean, and realised the fish was right. He smiled and said, “Okay Fishy, I’ll come and play with you!†+ +So, the famous crab played in the water with the little fish, and they both had a wonderful time! + +This story teaches us that it’s important to share our happiness with others, no matter how small or different we may be.

So, he asked, "what's wrong?". + +His mom said, "We don't have enough money, and we are suffering from a problem with the ceiling. We don't have enough money to fix it." + +The little rabbit thought for a minute and then said, "I know what I can do! I can help us get some money!" + +His mom was very happy and said, "Thank you, my sweet little rabbit. We really need it!" + +The little rabbit went to the store, sold some of his old things, and collected enough money to help his family fix the ceiling. + +Everyone was very thankful, and they taught a valuable lesson to the little rabbit.

Run with the kite and let the wind lift it up. I'll hold the other end of the string and help you." + +Ben ran with the kite. He felt the wind blow on his face and hair.

They started to fight over the jug. + +"Stop, stop, children!" Grandma said. She swam over to them and took the jug. "This is not a treasure, this is a toy. I put it there for you to find and share.

"Maybe the noises will go away." + +"OK," Max said. "But I want to see what is making the noises. Maybe it is something cool." + +He opened a small flap in the tent and peeked outside. He saw bright flashes of light that looked like snakes in the sky. He gasped and pointed. "Look, Lily, look! It's lightning!" + +Lily looked too and saw the lightning. She thought it was pretty and original. She had never seen anything like it before. She wanted to touch it and see what it felt like.

Lily touched the lightning and felt a big shock. She screamed and fell to the ground. Max ran to her and tried to wake her up. But she did not move or talk. She was still and quiet. + +Max cried and cried. He wished he had zipped up the tent and stayed inside with Lily. He wished he had not shown her the lightning. He wished he had not lost his twin. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big rock. It is gray and hard. + +"Look, Lily, a rock!" Tom says. "Can we lift it?" + +Lily tries to lift the rock. She is strong, but the rock is too heavy. She grunts and lets go. + +"Too heavy," she says. "Maybe we can roll it." + +Tom nods. He pushes the rock with his hands. The rock does not move. He pushes harder. The rock still does not move. + +"Too hard," he says. "Maybe we can break it." + +Lily shakes her head. She picks up a stick. She hits the rock with the stick. The stick breaks. The rock does not break. + +"Too tough," she says. "Maybe we can leave it." + +Tom agrees. He drops the stick. He looks at the rock. He sees something shiny on the rock. He bends down and touches it. + +"Look, Lily, a life!" he says. "A bug!" + +Lily looks at the rock. She sees a small bug. It is green and has wings. It crawls on the rock. + +"A bug!" she says. "It is cute!" + +They watch the bug. The bug flies away. They wave goodbye. + +"Bye, bug!" they say. "Have fun!" + +They smile. They hold hands. They run to the swings. They forget about the rock. The rock stays in the park. It is gray and hard. It does not care. It is a rock. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big box under a tree. It is brown and has a red ribbon on it. + +"Wow, what is that?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know.

It is deep and mysterious. + +"Hello, children. Do you like my gift?" + +They turn around and see a man. He is wearing a long coat and a hat. He has a big smile on his face. + +"Who are you?" Anna asks. + +"I am a friend. I like to make children happy. You can have everything in the box. But there is one condition. You have to come with me," the man says. + +Anna and Ben feel scared. They don't know this man. They don't want to go with him. + +"No, thank you. We have to go home now," Ben says. + +He grabs Anna's hand and they run away from the box and the man. They find their mom and dad and tell them what happened. + +"Good job, kids. You did the right thing. Never go with strangers, even if they offer you nice things. They might be dangerous," their mom says. + +Their dad calls the police and tells them about the man and the box. The police come and take the box away. They look for the man, but he is gone. + +Anna and Ben hug their mom and dad. They are happy and safe. They don't need the things in the box. They have each other. +Lily loved to chew on her toys.

She said, "No, Mom, I don't want to go. I want to chew on my bunny." + +Mom said, "Lily, you can't chew on your bunny anymore. It has sugar on it and that makes your teeth spoiled. You need to chew on healthy things, like fruits and vegetables. And you need to brush your teeth every day. That will make your teeth strong and clean." + +Lily did not like fruits and vegetables. She liked her bunny. She said, "But Mom, I love my bunny. It is my best friend." + +Mom said, "I know, Lily, but your bunny is not good for your teeth. How about we get you a new toy, one that you can chew on without hurting your teeth? Maybe a rubber ball, or a squeaky bone, or a soft doll?" + +Lily thought about it. She did not want to lose her bunny, but she did not want to have pain in her tooth either. She said, "OK, Mom, I will try a new toy. But can I keep my bunny, too? Just for cuddling, not for chewing?" + +Mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Of course, Lily, you can keep your bunny. But remember, no more chewing on it, OK?" + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, Mom. Thank you for helping me." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you." + +Lily said, "I love you, too, Mom." +One day, a small fox was looking for food in the forest.

"What are you doing here?" + +The fox was surprised. He did not know the bird could talk. He decided to joke with the bird and trick him. + +"I am here to sing with you, big bird," the fox said. "You have such a nice voice. Can you teach me how to sing?" + +The bird was flattered. He liked to sing and show off his voice. He did not notice the fox was lying. + +"Of course, little fox," the bird said. "I will teach you how to sing. Just follow me and repeat what I say." + +The bird began to sing a loud and beautiful song. The fox pretended to sing along, but he was really waiting for a chance to jump and catch the bird. + +But the bird was smarter than the fox. He knew the fox was joking and wanted to eat him. He had a plan to escape. He sang louder and louder, until he attracted the attention of a hunter. The hunter heard the bird's song and saw the fox hiding under the branch. He aimed his gun and shot at the fox. + +The fox heard the gunshot and realized he was in danger. He ran away as fast as he could, but he was too late. The bullet hit his tail and made a big hole. The fox yelped in pain and fear. He lost his tail and his chance to eat the bird. + +The bird saw the fox running away. He laughed and said, "That was a bad joke, little fox. You should not try to trick me. Now you have no tail and no food. Maybe next time you will learn to be nice and honest." + +The bird flew away, happy and safe. The fox ran away, sad and hungry.

It bit me!" + +Tom ran to her and hugged her. He took her to their mom. Mom put some ice on Lily's nose and gave her a kiss. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Mom said. "Fireflies are beautiful insects, but they can bite if you bother them. You have to be gentle and respectful with all living things. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She felt sorry for the firefly and for herself. She learned her lesson. She decided not to poke insects anymore. She would rather watch them and learn about them. And maybe, if she was lucky, she would see the fireflies light up the night sky. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bear on the grass. The bear was brown and furry. It looked sleepy. + +"Wow, a bear!" Lily said. "Can we go and say hello?" + +Ben was scared. He shook his head. "No, Lily. Bears are dangerous. They can bite and scratch. We should stay away." + +Lily was curious. She wanted to see the bear up close. She took a step forward. "But maybe this bear is friendly. Maybe he wants to play with us." + +Ben grabbed her hand. He pulled her back. "No, Lily. Don't be silly. Bears don't play with people. They play with other bears. Come on, let's go to the swings." + +Lily frowned. She looked at the bear again. The bear opened his eyes. He saw Lily and Ben. He gave a big yawn. He did not seem to care about them. He shrugged his shoulders. He closed his eyes again. + +Lily thought the bear was funny. She giggled. "Look, Ben. The bear shrugged. He is not serious. He is bored. He does not mind us." + +Ben did not think it was funny. He was still scared. He did not like the bear. He did not want to stay near the bear. He tugged Lily's hand. "Come on, Lily. Let's go. The bear might wake up and chase us. Hurry!" + +Lily sighed. She wanted to stay and watch the bear. But she did not want to make Ben upset. She followed him to the swings. She hoped the bear would have a nice nap. She wondered what the bear dreamed about. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a cheap plastic boat that could float in the sink. They pretended to be pirates and sailors and had many adventures with their boat. + +One day, their mom told them to clean up their toys and get ready for lunch. Lily and Ben said yes, but they were having too much fun with their boat. They forgot to put it away and left it in the sink. They ran to the table and ate their sandwiches and fruit. + +After lunch, their mom wanted to wash the dishes. She turned on the faucet and filled the sink with water and soap. She did not see the boat in the sink. She started to scrub the plates and cups and spoons. Suddenly, she heard a loud crack. She looked down and saw the boat broken in half. She was very surprised and sad. + +She called Lily and Ben and showed them what happened. They were very sorry and cried. They said they loved their boat and did not mean to forget it. Their mom hugged them and said she understood. She said they could get a new boat, but they had to be more careful and remember to clean up their toys. Lily and Ben nodded and said they would. They learned their lesson and never forgot their boat again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play and talk. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide. Anna wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Anna says. + +"No, it is too high. I do not want to go." Ben says. + +Anna goes on the slide. She slides down fast and laughs. She feels happy. She runs to Ben. + +"See, Ben, it is not scary. It is fun. You should try it." Anna says. + +Ben looks at the slide. He still feels scared. He shakes his head. + +"No, thank you. I do not like it." Ben says. + +Anna feels sad. She wants to play with Ben. She thinks of a way to help him. + +"Ben, do you know what a word is?" Anna asks. + +Ben nods. He knows what a word is. A word is something you say or write. + +"Yes, I know what a word is. Why do you ask?" Ben says. + +Anna smiles. She has an idea. + +"Words are powerful. They can make you feel good or bad. They can also help you do things. Do you want to know a word that can help you go on the slide?" Anna asks. + +Ben is curious. He wants to know the word. + +"Yes, please. Tell me the word." Ben says. + +Anna leans close to Ben. She whispers in his ear. + +"The word is 'brave'. Brave means you are not afraid. You can do things that are hard or new. You can say 'I am brave' and you will feel brave. Do you want to try it?" Anna says. + +Ben thinks about it. He likes the word 'brave'. He wants to feel brave. He nods. + +"Okay, I will try it. I am brave." Ben says. + +He says it again and again. He feels stronger and more confident. He looks at the slide. He does not feel scared anymore. He feels brave. + +He holds Anna's hand. They walk to the slide. They climb up the steps. They sit on the slide. They look at each other and smile. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, I am ready. I am brave." Ben says. + +They slide down together. They laugh and cheer. They feel happy. They run to their moms. + +"Mom, mom, we did it! We went on the slide! We are brave!" Ben says. + +"Mom, mom, we had fun! We helped each other! We are friends!" Anna says. + +Their moms hug them and praise them. They are proud of them. They are healthy and happy children. They learned a new word and a new skill. They learned to be brave and to be kind. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. They have a big sister, Lisa, who is very smart. Lisa goes to university every day. She studies hard and learns many things. + +One day, Anna and Ben want to go with Lisa to university. They ask her, "Please, can we go with you? We want to see your school and your friends." + +Lisa smiles and says, "Sorry, Anna and Ben, you cannot go with me today. University is not for little kids. You have to stay home and play with Mom and Dad. Maybe when you are older, you can go to university too." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They do not understand why they cannot go. They think university is fun and easy. They say, "But we want to go, please, please, please. We can be quiet and good. We can learn with you. Please, Lisa, let us go." + +Lisa shakes her head and says, "No, Anna and Ben, you cannot go. University is hard and serious. You have to read and write and listen and think a lot. You are too young for that. You have to learn other things first, like colors and shapes and numbers and letters. You have to play and have fun and be happy. That is what little kids do." + +Anna and Ben are still sad, but they listen to Lisa. They know she loves them and wants the best for them. They hug her and say, "Okay, Lisa, we will stay home. But we will miss you. Have a good day at university. We love you." + +Lisa hugs them back and says, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. Have a good day at home. I will see you later. Bye-bye." She takes her bag and leaves. + +Anna and Ben wave to her and then go to their room. They play with their toys and books. They have fun and learn new things. They are happy. They are little kids. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers and bees. Ben and Lily liked to watch the bees fly from flower to flower. + +"Look, mom, the bees are making honey!" Lily said. + +"Yes, they are, honey. The bees live in a hive. That is their home. They work hard to make honey and store it in the hive," mom said. + +Ben and Lily wanted to see the hive. They followed a bee to a big tree. They saw a hole in the tree. They heard a buzzing sound. + +"Is that the hive, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, it is, Ben. But we should not go too close. The bees might get angry and sting us. They do not like strangers near their hive," mom said. + +But Ben and Lily were curious. They wanted to see the honey. They walked closer to the tree. They saw a stick on the ground. Ben picked up the stick. He threw it at the hole. + +"Ben, no!" mom shouted. + +But it was too late. The stick hit the hive. The bees came out of the hole. They were angry. They flew around Ben and Lily. They buzzed loudly. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben and Lily cried. They felt the bees sting them. They ran away from the tree. They scattered in different directions. + +Mom ran after them. She caught them and hugged them. She checked their stings. She put some cream on them. + +"Ben, Lily, are you okay?" mom asked. + +"We are sorry, mom. We were bad. We made the bees angry. We hurt them and they hurt us," Ben and Lily said. + +"It's okay, my loves. I know you were curious. But you should not throw things at the hive. The hive is the bees' home. You should respect their home and leave them alone. They are not mean. They are just protecting their honey," mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to the bees. They went home with mom. They were dirty and sore. But they were also happy and grateful. They had mom and each other. They had a home and honey. They had a good day at the park. +Anna and Ben are youth. They like to play and have fun. They live with their grandma, who is elderly. Grandma loves them, but she is tired and needs rest. + +One morning, Anna and Ben wake up early. They are bored and want to play. They see grandma sleeping on the couch. They think it is funny to wake her up. + +"Grandma, grandma, wake up!" they shout. They jump on the couch and shake her. Grandma opens her eyes and groans.
