She said, "Please, mom, can I have the big book?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Okay, Lily, you can have the big book. But we can't read it here. We have to take it home. And we have to be careful with it. It is a special book. It belongs to the library. We have to return it later." + +Lily was happy. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love the big book. I can't wait to read it." + +Her mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you too. I'm glad you like the big book. Maybe we can read it together tonight. I'm sure it's a wonderful story." + +They went to the counter and gave the big book to the lady. The lady scanned the book and gave it back to Lily. She said, "Here you go, Lily. You can keep the book for two weeks. Enjoy the story. And welcome to the library." +Anna and Ben were twins who loved Christmas. They wanted to get many presents from Santa Claus, who came at night and put them under the tree. But they also knew that Santa only gave presents to good children who behaved well. + +One day, their mom told them that they had to help her clean the house, because it was very messy. Anna and Ben did not like to clean. They wanted to play with their toys and watch TV. They started to whine and complain. + +"Mom, this is boring!" Anna said. + +"Mom, this is hard!" Ben said. + +"Anna and Ben, you have to help me," their mom said. "If you don't, Santa will not come to our house. He will see that you are naughty and skip our chimney. Do you want that?" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They did not want Santa to skip their chimney. They wanted to get many presents. They decided to behave and help their mom. + +"OK, mom, we will help you," Anna said. + +"Sorry, mom, we will be good," Ben said. + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She gave them each a cloth and a spray bottle. They started to clean the windows, the tables, and the chairs. They worked hard and fast. They made the house very shiny and tidy. + +When they finished, their mom praised them and gave them a cookie. She told them that they were very good children and that Santa would be very happy with them. She also told them that she had a surprise for them. She took them to the living room and showed them a big box wrapped in colorful paper. + +"This is a special present for you, from me and dad," she said. "You can open it now, because you have been so helpful and kind. We are very proud of you." + +Anna and Ben were very excited. They thanked their mom and dad and tore the paper. Inside the box, they found a big train set with many tracks, cars, and buildings. They loved it. They hugged their mom and dad again and started to play with their new toy. + +They played until it was time for bed. Their mom and dad tucked them in and kissed them good night. They told them that they loved them and that Santa would come soon. They also told them that they had to sleep, because Santa only came when children were asleep. + +Anna and Ben nodded and closed their eyes. They dreamed of Santa and his reindeer, flying in the sky and bringing presents to all the good children. They hoped that Santa would find their chimney and put many presents under their tree. They were very happy and grateful. They had behaved well and had a wonderful day. +Tim and Jen like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make them go fast and make noises. Vroom, vroom! + +One day, they find a big yellow car in the garage. It is shiny and has four big wheels. Tim and Jen want to play with it. They climb inside and pretend to drive. + +"Look, Jen, this is how you twist the key," Tim says. He twists the key in the hole. The car makes a loud sound. Rrrr, rrrr! + +"Wow, Tim, this is fun!" Jen says. She pushes a button. The car makes a beep. Beep, beep! + +They laugh and smile. They feel like they are going on a trip. They look at the things on the car. They see a needle and a word. The word says "fuel". + +"What is fuel, Tim?" Jen asks. + +"I don't know, Jen," Tim says. "Maybe it is something the car needs to go." + +They look at the needle. It points to a red line. The red line says "E". + +"Maybe E means enough," Jen says. "Maybe the car has enough fuel." + +"Maybe," Tim says. "But I want to see what happens if we twist the key again." + +He twists the key. The car makes a sputter. Sputter, sputter! + +Then the car makes no sound. It stops. + +"Oh no, Tim, what did we do?" Jen says. She feels scared. + +"I don't know, Jen," Tim says. He feels sorry. + +They look at each other. They feel bad. They wish they did not play with the big yellow car. + +They hear a voice. It is Dad. He comes to the garage. He sees Tim and Jen in the car. + +"What are you doing, kids?" Dad asks. He sounds angry. + +"Sorry, Dad, we wanted to play with the car," Tim says. + +"We twisted the key and pushed the button," Jen says. + +Dad looks at the car. He sees the needle and the word. He shakes his head. + +"Kids, you should not play with the car. It is not a toy. It is a real car. It needs fuel to go. Fuel is a liquid that makes the car run. You twisted the key and used up all the fuel. Now the car has no fuel. It cannot go. E means empty. You emptied the car of fuel." + +Tim and Jen feel ashamed. They did not know. They did not mean to. + +"Sorry, Dad, we did not know. We did not mean to," they say. + +Dad sighs. He is not happy. But he is not too mad. He knows they are young. He knows they are curious. + +"It's okay, kids. I know you did not know. I know you did not mean to. But you have to be careful. You have to ask before you touch things. You have to learn what things are and what they do. You have to respect the car. It is not a toy. It is a tool. It helps us go places. It needs fuel to work. Fuel is not free. It costs money. We have to buy it. We have to save it. We have to use it wisely." + +Tim and Jen nod. They understand. They want to be careful. They want to ask. They want to learn. They want to respect. + +"Can you forgive us, Dad?" they ask. + +Dad smiles. He hugs them. He loves them. + +"Of course, I can forgive you, kids. You are my kids. I love you. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me you will not play with the car again. You have to promise me you will listen to me and Mom. You have to promise me you will be good." + +Tim and Jen hug Dad. They love him. + +"We promise, Dad. We will not play with the car again. We will listen to you and Mom. We will be good," they say. + +Dad kisses them. He is proud of them. + +"Good, kids. I am proud of you. Now let's go inside. We have to call a truck. A truck will bring us more fuel. Then the car will go again. Maybe one day, when you are older, I will teach you how to drive the car. But for now, you can play with your toy cars. They are more fun. They do not need fuel. They only need your imagination." + +Tim and Jen smile. They are happy. They go inside with Dad. They play with their toy cars. They use their imagination. They have fun. +Sara and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +But then a big dog came. He saw the snowman and ran to it. He barked and jumped. He wanted to play with the snowman. He bit the scarf and pulled it. He knocked off the hat and the nose. He made the snowman fall apart. + +Sara and Ben were fearful. They ran to their house. They closed the door. They hugged each other. They cried. + +"Mommy, mommy, a big dog ruined our snowman!" they said. + +Mommy came and hugged them. She saw the dog outside. He was wagging his tail. He was not mean. He was just playful. + +"Shh, shh, it's okay, my loves. The dog didn't know. He thought the snowman was a toy. He didn't want to hurt you. He just wanted to have fun," she said. + +She opened the door and called the dog. He came and licked her hand. He was friendly. She gave him a treat. He wagged his tail more. + +"See, he is a good dog. He is sorry for what he did. He wants to be your friend. Do you want to pet him?" she asked. + +Sara and Ben looked at the dog. He looked at them. He was cute. They were not fearful anymore. They nodded. They went to the dog and petted him. He licked their faces. They laughed. + +They were happy again. + +Mommy smiled. She said, "Now, why don't you all come inside and have some hot chocolate? Then you can take a nap. You must be tired after playing in the snow." + +Sara and Ben agreed. They followed Mommy inside. They drank hot chocolate. They took a nap. They dreamed of making another snowman. And of playing with the dog. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite thing was to jump on their big mattress. They pretended it was a trampoline, a boat, or a castle. + +One day, their mom told them she had a surprise for them. She said she had mailed a letter to Santa, and he would send them a gift soon. Tom and Lily were very excited. They wondered what Santa would bring them. + +The next week, a big box arrived at their door. Their mom said it was from Santa, and they could open it together. Tom and Lily ran to the box and tore off the paper. Inside, they saw another mattress. It was smaller and thinner than their old one. + +"What is this?" Tom asked. "This is not a gift. This is stupid." + +Lily agreed. She felt sad and angry. "Why did Santa send us this? We already have a mattress. We don't need another one." + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "Santa didn't send you this mattress. He sent you something else. This mattress is for your new baby brother, who will come soon. He will sleep in your room with you, and he will need a place to rest. This is his gift from Santa." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt confused and curious. They had never seen a baby before. They wondered what he would look like, and how he would play with them. + +"Can we still jump on our mattress?" Tom asked. + +"Of course you can," their mom said. "But you have to be careful and gentle with your baby brother. He is very small and fragile. You have to share your toys and your space with him. He will be your best friend." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They decided to give the new mattress a chance. They moved it next to their old one, and made a cozy nest for their baby brother. They hoped he would like it. They also hoped he would like to jump with them, when he was bigger. They thanked Santa for his gift, and waited for their baby brother to come. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They were happy and shared their toys. + +But then, Sam came in. Sam was their older brother and he was mean. He saw Tom's truck and he wanted it. He said, "Give me your truck, Tom. It is mine now." + +Tom said, "No, Sam. It is my truck. You have your own toys. Go away." + +Sam did not listen. He grabbed Tom's truck and ran away. Tom was sad and angry. He cried, "Sam, give me back my truck. You are a thief. You steal my truck." + +Lily wanted to help Tom. She had an idea. She said, "Don't cry, Tom. I have glue. We can glue Sam's shoes to the floor. Then he can't run away with your truck." + +Tom liked Lily's idea. He said, "Yes, Lily. Let's do that. Where is the glue?" + +Lily said, "It is in the kitchen. Come with me." + +They went to the kitchen and found the glue. They sneaked to Sam's room and saw him playing with Tom's truck. He did not notice them. They put glue on his shoes and ran away. + +Soon, Sam wanted to go to the bathroom. He tried to stand up, but he could not. His shoes were stuck to the floor. He said, "Hey, what is this? Why can't I move? Help!" + +Tom and Lily heard him and laughed. They said, "Ha ha, Sam. We glued your shoes to the floor. Now you can't steal our toys. Give us back Tom's truck." + +Sam was scared and sorry. He said, "Please, Tom and Lily. Forgive me. I was wrong. I will give you back your truck. Just help me get out of this glue." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for Sam. They said, "OK, Sam. We will help you. But you have to promise not to steal our toys again." + +Sam said, "I promise. I promise. Please, help me." + +Tom and Lily got a scissors and cut Sam's shoes. They were very tight and hard to cut. But they managed to free Sam. Sam gave Tom his truck and said, "I am sorry, Tom. Here is your truck. It is very nice. Can we play together?" + +Tom said, "Yes, Sam. We can play together. But you have to share and be nice." + +Sam said, "I will. I will. Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are good siblings." + +They hugged and went to the living room. They played with their toys and had fun. They were happy and shared their toys. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily liked to be organized. She had a box for her dolls, a box for her cars, and a box for her blocks. Ben liked to be messy. He threw his toys everywhere and made a lot of noise. + +"Ben, stop it!" Lily said. "You are making a mess. Put your toys in the boxes." + +"No, I don't want to," Ben said. "I want to play with all of them. Look, I made a crane with my blocks. It can lift your dolls and cars." + +Lily looked at Ben's crane. It was big and tall and had a hook. She realized that it was a cool toy. She wanted to play with it too. + +"Can I try your crane, Ben?" she asked. + +"Sure, Lily," Ben said. "You can play with my crane if I can play with your dolls and cars." + +Lily and Ben smiled at each other. They decided to share their toys and play together. They realized that it was more fun to be friends than to fight. They had a good time with the crane, the dolls, and the cars. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big truck that sold pastries. Lily and Tom both wanted a pastry, but their moms said they had to share one. + +Lily and Tom picked a pastry that had chocolate and cream. It looked yummy. They took turns to bite it. Lily bit a big piece. Tom bit a small piece. Lily bit another big piece. Tom got jealous. He wanted more pastry. + +Tom waited for Lily to look away. Then he grabbed the pastry and ran. Lily saw him and ran after him. She was angry. She shouted, "Give me back my pastry, Tom!" + +Tom ran faster. He did not want to share. He ran across the street. He did not look for cars. A car came and hit Tom. Tom dropped the pastry. He fell down and cried. Lily stopped and gasped. She was scared. + +The moms heard the noise and ran to Tom. They called for help. The car driver was sorry. He said he did not see Tom. Lily felt sad. She wished Tom did not run. She wished they shared the pastry. She wished they were still friends. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a man with a trumpet. The man is making loud and funny sounds with his mouth and the trumpet. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben says. "He can make music with the trumpet!" + +"Can we try?" Mia asks. She is curious and brave. + +The man smiles and nods. He lets Ben and Mia take turns with the trumpet. Ben blows hard and makes a high sound. Mia blows softly and makes a low sound. They laugh and enjoy the trumpet. + +"Thank you, mister!" Ben and Mia say. They give the trumpet back to the man. + +"You're welcome, kids!" the man says. "You did very well. Do you want to hear more music?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben and Mia say. They sit on the grass and listen to the man play the trumpet. He plays songs that make them happy and sad and excited. + +After a while, Ben and Mia feel hungry. They remember that they have sandwiches and juice in their backpacks. They share their food with the man. The man thanks them and gives them a hug. + +"That was a fun day!" Ben says. + +"Yes, it was!" Mia says. "I like the trumpet. Maybe we can learn to play it someday." + +They wave goodbye to the man and go home with their parents. They tell them about their adventure with the trumpet. Their parents are proud and happy. Ben and Mia are happy too. They dream of music and trumpets. +Mira and Ravi are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find some clay near a pond. The clay is soft and wet. They can make shapes with it. + +"Look, I made a ball!" Mira says. She rolls the clay in her hands. She throws the ball to Ravi. + +"Wow, good throw!" Ravi says. He catches the ball. He makes a snake with the clay. He puts the snake on the ground. He makes it wiggle. + +"Look, I made a snake!" Ravi says. He shows the snake to Mira. + +"That's a funny snake!" Mira says. She laughs. She picks some flowers. She puts the flowers on the snake. She makes it pretty. + +"Look, I made a flower snake!" Mira says. She shows the flower snake to Ravi. + +"That's a pretty snake!" Ravi says. He smiles. He picks some stones. He puts the stones on the ball. He makes it shiny. + +"Look, I made a shiny ball!" Ravi says. He shows the shiny ball to Mira. + +"That's a shiny ball!" Mira says. She claps. She picks the ball and the snake. She gives them to Ravi. + +"Here, these are for you!" Mira says. She hugs Ravi. + +"Thank you, Mira!" Ravi says. He hugs Mira. He gives her the ball and the snake. + +"Here, these are for you!" Ravi says. He kisses Mira. + +They are happy. They are playful. They are friends. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. Lily had a new watch that her mom gave her. It was pink and shiny and had a flower on it. She was very happy with her watch. + +"Look at my watch, Sam!" Lily said, showing him her wrist. "It tells me the time and it makes a beep sound." + +"Wow, that's a nice watch, Lily!" Sam said, admiring it. "Can I try it on?" + +"Okay, but be careful with it," Lily said, taking off her watch and giving it to Sam. "It's very special to me." + +Sam put on the watch and smiled. He liked how it felt on his arm. He pressed a button and heard the beep sound. He pressed another button and saw some numbers change. He pressed another button and saw a light flash. + +"Look, Lily, it has a light too!" Sam said, waving his arm in the air. + +Lily was about to answer, when she saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. It looked friendly, but it was also very fast and big. + +"Sam, watch out!" Lily shouted, pulling Sam away from the dog. "The dog might take your watch!" + +Sam was scared and held on to Lily. The dog jumped on them and licked their faces. It was trying to play, but it was also very strong and heavy. It knocked them down and scratched their clothes. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily said, pushing the dog away. "Bad dog! Leave us alone!" + +The dog did not listen. It saw the watch on Sam's arm and tried to bite it. It thought it was a toy. Sam screamed and tried to protect his arm. + +"Help! Help!" Sam cried. "The dog wants my watch!" + +Lily was very brave and thoughtful. She knew she had to prevent the dog from hurting Sam and taking his watch. She grabbed a stick and waved it at the dog. She made a loud noise and said, "Go away! Go away!" + +The dog was surprised and scared. It backed away from Lily and Sam. It did not like the stick or the noise. It ran away to find another game. + +Lily and Sam got up and hugged each other. They were safe and happy. Lily checked Sam's arm and saw that it was not hurt. She checked her watch and saw that it was not broken. She was very relieved and proud. + +"Are you okay, Sam?" Lily asked, putting her watch back on. + +"I'm okay, Lily," Sam said, smiling. "Thank you for saving me and your watch. You are very brave and thoughtful." + +Lily and Sam walked back to their moms, who were waiting for them. They told them what happened and showed them the watch. Their moms were very glad and proud. They gave them hugs and kisses and said, "You are very good friends. You take care of each other and share your things. We love you very much." +Tim and Jen are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They are very happy. + +"Look at our snowman!" Tim says. "He is so big and nice!" + +"Yes, he is!" Jen says. "But we need to give him a name. What should we call him?" + +They think for a moment. Then Jen has an idea. + +"How about Bob?" she says. "Bob the snowman!" + +Tim likes the name. He nods and smiles. + +"Bob the snowman!" he says. "I like it!" + +They hug their snowman and say hello to him. + +"Hello, Bob!" they say. "We are your friends!" + +Bob the snowman does not say anything. He just stands there and smiles with his carrot nose. + +Tim and Jen go to their house to get some hot chocolate. They leave Bob the snowman in the yard. They think he will be fine. + +But they do not know that the sun is coming out. The sun is very warm and bright. It makes the snow melt. + +Bob the snowman feels the sun on his hat, his scarf and his nose. He feels his snow body get smaller and smaller. He is very sad. + +"Help!" he says. "I am melting! I do not want to melt!" + +But no one hears him. Tim and Jen are inside their house. They are drinking their hot chocolate and talking. + +"This is so good!" Tim says. "I love hot chocolate!" + +"Me too!" Jen says. "But I miss Bob. Do you think he is cold?" + +They look out the window. They see a big puddle of water in the yard. They do not see Bob the snowman. + +They run outside. They look for Bob. They only find his hat, his scarf and his carrot nose. They are wet and dirty. + +They are very sad. + +"Where is Bob?" Tim says. "What happened to him?" + +"He melted!" Jen says. "The sun melted him!" + +They cry and hug each other. They say goodbye to Bob. + +"Goodbye, Bob!" they say. "We will miss you!" + +They take his hat, his scarf and his carrot nose. They put them in a barrel. They hope to make another snowman someday. + +They go back to their house. They wash their hands and faces. They are clean. + +They try to cheer up. They think of happy things. + +"Maybe we can make a snowman again when it snows," Tim says. + +"Maybe we can," Jen says. "But we will never forget Bob. He was our friend." + +They smile and hug each other. They are still sad, but they are also glad. They have each other. They are friends. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has a lot of toys. Ben and Mia run to the truck. + +"Wow, look at all the toys!" Ben says. + +"Can we have some?" Mia asks. + +The truck driver smiles. He says, "Sure, you can have one toy each. But you have to be quick. I have to go soon." + +Ben and Mia look at the toys. They see dolls, cars, balls, books, and more. Ben picks a red car. He likes cars. Mia picks a yellow doll. She likes dolls. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Ben and Mia say. They wave to the truck driver. + +The truck driver waves back. He says, "You're welcome, kids. Have fun with your toys." + +Ben and Mia run to the bench. They want to play with their toys. But then, they see something unusual. On the bench, there is a big teddy bear. The teddy bear has a tag. The tag says, "This is mine. Do not touch." + +"Who left this here?" Ben wonders. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone forgot it," Mia says. + +Ben and Mia look at the teddy bear. They think it is cute. They want to touch it. But they remember the tag. They are scared. They do not want to make someone angry. + +"Maybe we should leave it alone," Ben says. + +"Maybe we should find the owner," Mia says. + +Ben and Mia look around. They do not see anyone. They do not know what to do. They are confused. They hold their toys. They wait. +Ben and Mia were playing in the cabin in the woods. They liked the cabin because it had many toys and books. They also liked to look out the window and see the animals and trees. + +One day, they heard a loud roar outside. They ran to the window and saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry. It wanted to find some food. + +"Roar!" the bear said. "I smell something good in the cabin. I will break the door and eat it!" + +Ben and Mia were frightened. They did not want the bear to eat them or their toys. They looked around and saw a phone on the table. They remembered that their mom had taught them how to call for help. + +"Quick, Mia, call mom!" Ben said. "She will know what to do!" + +Mia picked up the phone and pressed the buttons. She heard a voice on the other end. + +"Hello, this is mom. What's wrong, Mia?" + +"Mom, mom, there is a big bear outside the cabin. It wants to eat us. Help us, mom!" Mia said. + +"Don't worry, Mia. I'm coming with dad and the ranger. Stay inside the cabin and lock the door. The bear can't get in. We will be there soon. I love you, Mia." + +"I love you, mom. Hurry, mom!" Mia said. + +Ben and Mia hugged each other and waited for their mom and dad. They hoped the bear would go away. They were very brave and smart. They knew how to use the phone and ask for help. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to observe the flowers and the bugs. They saw a big green lily with a yellow center. It smelled nice. + +"Look, Ben, a lily!" Anna said. "It is so pretty!" + +Ben nodded. He wanted to touch the lily. He reached out his hand. But a bee flew out of the lily. It buzzed loudly. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. He pulled back his hand. The bee had stung him. It hurt a lot. + +Anna ran to him. She hugged him. She was sorry for him. + +"Don't cry, Ben. I will get mom. She will make it better." Anna said. + +She ran to the house. She called mom. Mom came with some ice and a band-aid. She put the ice on Ben's hand. She kissed it. She put the band-aid on it. + +"There, there, Ben. You will be okay. The bee was just scared. It did not mean to hurt you." Mom said. + +Ben felt a little better. He smiled at mom. He thanked her. + +"Can we still observe the flowers, mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, honey. But be careful. Some flowers have bees. They are good for the flowers, but they can sting. You have to look, but not touch." Mom said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They learned something new. They went back to the garden. They observed the flowers and the bugs. But they did not touch the lily. They left it for the bee. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their paints. They had many colors and brushes and paper. They liked to make pictures of animals and flowers and cars. One day, they decided to paint a big rainbow on the wall. They thought it would be fun and pretty. + +They got their paints and brushes and a big ladder. They climbed up the ladder and started to paint. Ben painted red and orange and yellow. Lily painted green and blue and purple. They were very happy and proud of their rainbow. They did not see that the paint was dripping from their brushes and spreading on the floor. + +Mom came home and saw the rainbow on the wall. She was very surprised and angry. She saw the paint on the floor and the ladder. She saw Ben and Lily on the tip of the ladder. She shouted at them to come down. She was afraid they would fall and hurt themselves. + +Ben and Lily heard Mom and got scared. They tried to come down, but they slipped on the paint. They fell off the ladder and landed on the floor. They were not hurt, but they were very messy and sad. They cried and said they were sorry. + +Mom was glad they were not hurt, but she was still angry. She told them to go to their room and wait. She cleaned the wall and the floor and the ladder. She was very tired and unhappy. She wished they had not painted the rainbow. + +Later, Mom came to their room and hugged them. She said she loved them, but they had done a bad thing. She said they had to help her paint the wall again. She said they could only paint on paper from now on. She said they had to be calm and careful when they played with paints. + +Ben and Lily said they understood and they were sorry. They hugged Mom and said they loved her. They said they would help her paint the wall. They said they would be calm and careful. They learned their lesson. They still liked to paint, but they never painted on the wall again. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big hole in the grass. They are curious. They go to the hole and look inside. They see something shiny. They want to know what it is. + +They try to reach the shiny thing, but the hole is too deep. They need a tool. They look around and see a stick. They use the stick to poke the shiny thing. It makes a noise. It is a bell! + +They pull the bell out of the hole. It is very pretty. It has a ribbon and a tag. The tag has a name and a phone number. It is a lost pet's bell! + +Tom and Lily are honest. They want to help the pet find its owner. They use Lily's phone to call the number. A lady answers. She is very happy. She says the bell belongs to her cat, Fluffy. She lost Fluffy two days ago. She thanks Tom and Lily for finding the bell. + +Tom and Lily are proud. They solve the mystery of the shiny thing. They help the lady and Fluffy. They are good friends. They go back to playing in the park. They have fun. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls and draw pictures. She had a big brother, Tom, who sometimes played with her, but sometimes was mean to her. One day, Tom was very bored and wanted to have some fun. He saw Lily's mail on the table. It was a letter from her best friend, Anna, who had moved to another town. + +Tom took the letter and ran to his room. He opened it and read it. It said: + +"Dear Lily, I miss you very much. I hope you are happy and have fun. I made you a picture of us playing in the park. I hope you like it. Love, Anna." + +Tom did not like the picture. He thought it was ugly and silly. He took a pair of scissors and cut the picture into tiny pieces. Then he threw them in the trash. He laughed and felt very clever. + +Lily came home from school and looked for her mail. She did not see it on the table. She asked her mom, "Mom, where is my mail? Did Anna write to me?" + +Mom said, "Yes, she did. I saw it on the table this morning. Maybe Tom took it to his room. Go and ask him." + +Lily ran to Tom's room and knocked on the door. She said, "Tom, do you have my mail? Please give it to me. I want to read Anna's letter." + +Tom opened the door and smiled. He said, "Sure, I have your mail. Here it is." He handed her a handful of paper pieces. He said, "This is Anna's letter. And this is her picture. Do you like it?" + +Lily looked at the paper pieces and felt very sad. She recognized Anna's handwriting and her drawing. She realized that Tom had ruined her mail. She said, "Tom, why did you do this? This was very mean. Anna is my friend. I love her. You are a bad brother." + +Tom shrugged and said, "I don't care. I was bored. And I don't like Anna. She is stupid. And so are you." + +Lily started to weep. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She showed her the paper pieces and told her what Tom had done. Mom was very angry and scolded Tom. She said, "Tom, you are in big trouble. You have to apologize to Lily and write a letter to Anna. And you have to stay in your room for the rest of the day. No TV, no games, no snacks. You should be ashamed of yourself." + +Tom did not apologize. He did not write a letter. He did not stay in his room. He sneaked out of the window and went to play with his friends. He did not care about Lily or Anna. He did not care about anything. + +Lily did not stop weeping. She missed Anna very much. She wished she could see her again. She wished she could have her mail back. She wished she had a better brother. She was very unhappy. +Sara and Ben were twins. They liked to play and have fun. They had a big birthday soon. They wanted to celebrate with their friends. + +They asked their mom to make a cake. They asked their dad to buy balloons. They asked their grandma to sew them new clothes. They asked their grandpa to tell them stories. They asked their aunt to bring them toys. They asked their uncle to sing them songs. + +They were very happy and excited. But they were also very nosy. They wanted to know what everyone was doing for them. They peeked into the kitchen, the bedroom, the living room, and the garage. They asked many questions. They touched everything. + +One day, they saw a big black box in the closet. They wondered what was inside. They opened the box. They saw a lot of shiny things. They were very curious. They took out the things. They played with them. + +But they did not know that the things were very special. They were gifts from their family. They were very fragile and expensive. They broke some of them. They lost some of them. They made a big mess. + +Their mom came into the closet. She saw the black box. She saw the things. She saw the twins. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Sara and Ben, what have you done? You have ruined your birthday surprise. You have hurt your family's feelings. You have been very naughty and rude. You should not be so nosy. You should wait and be patient. You should respect and appreciate what others do for you." + +Sara and Ben felt very sorry and ashamed. They said, "Mom, we are very sorry. We did not mean to be bad. We were just very excited. We wanted to see what you had for us. We did not know that the things were gifts. We did not know that they were special. We did not know that we would break them and lose them and make a mess. We love you and our family. We are very grateful for what you do for us. Please forgive us." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "I forgive you, my darlings. I love you too. But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to be more careful and respectful. You have to be more thankful and polite. You have to be more happy and content. You have to be more wise and humble. Then you will have a better birthday and a better life." + +Sara and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We will try to be better. We will try to be more like you and our family. We will try to be more happy and content. We will try to be more wise and humble. We will try to celebrate our birthday and our life with love and joy." +Lila and Mira were sisters who liked to play dress-up. They had a big box of clothes and hats and scarves and jewels. One day, they found a long white veil in the box. It was very pretty and shiny. + +"Let me wear it!" said Lila. "I want to be a princess!" + +"No, I want to wear it!" said Mira. "I want to be a bride!" + +They both pulled on the veil, trying to take it from each other. The veil was wide, but not strong. It ripped in half with a loud sound. + +"Oh no!" said Lila and Mira. "We broke the veil! Now we can't play with it!" + +They started to cry. They were sad and angry. They did not want to share or say sorry. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the torn veil and the unhappy sisters. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +"We found a veil and we both wanted to wear it, but we ripped it!" said Lila and Mira. + +"That's too bad," said mom. "You know, the veil is more than just a piece of cloth. It is a symbol of love and unity. When two people get married, they wear a veil to show that they are joining their lives and hearts together. They share everything, even the hard times and the good times. They don't fight over things, they work together and help each other. That's what the veil means." + +Lila and Mira looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They realized that they loved each other more than the veil. They hugged and said sorry. + +"Can we fix the veil, mom?" asked Lila. + +"Maybe we can," said mom. "But first, you have to fix your relationship. You have to unite as sisters and friends. You have to share and be kind and respectful. You have to remember that you are more important than any thing. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, mom," said Lila and Mira. "We understand. We will unite and be good sisters." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She took the veil and sewed it back together. It was not as perfect as before, but it was still beautiful. She gave it to Lila and Mira. + +"Here you go," she said. "You can play with it, but only if you promise to take turns and be careful. And remember, the veil is not just for fun, it is also for love and unity." + +Lila and Mira nodded and thanked mom. They put on the veil and played together. They pretended to be princesses and brides and fairies and angels. They had fun and laughed and smiled. They learned their lesson and became better sisters. They united with the veil. +Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. They have many figures of animals, cars, and people. They like to make stories with them and pretend they are in different places. + +"Look, this is a lion and this is a zebra. The lion is hungry and wants to eat the zebra. What will the zebra do?" Tom asks Lily, holding the figures in his hands. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She does not want the zebra to be eaten. She looks around and sees a distant window. She has an idea. + +"Maybe the zebra can run to the window and jump out. Then the lion cannot catch him. He can find a new home with other zebras," she says, moving the zebra figure towards the window. + +Tom nods. He likes Lily's idea. He moves the lion figure after the zebra, but he makes it slower and tired. + +"The lion is too slow and too tired. He cannot run to the window. He gives up and looks for another food. The zebra is safe and happy," he says, making the lion figure lie down and the zebra figure jump out of the window. + +Tom and Lily smile. They have solved the problem of the lion and the zebra. They hug each other and look for another story to play. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to build towers and castles with their blocks and dolls. They were having fun, but they also had to be careful. Their toys were fragile, and they could break if they threw them or dropped them. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. It was the wind, and it was very strong. It made the trees bend and the windows shake. Lily and Max looked at each other, scared. They heard their mom yell from the kitchen. + +"Lily! Max! Come here, quick! There is a hurricane coming!" + +A hurricane was a big storm with lots of wind and rain. It could be very dangerous, and it could hurt people and houses. Lily and Max ran to their mom, holding their toys. They did not want to leave them behind. + +"Mom, what is a hurricane?" Lily asked. + +"It's a bad weather that we have to stay away from. We have to go to the basement, where it's safe. Bring your toys, but don't drop them. They are fragile, remember?" Mom said. + +"OK, mom. We will be careful." Max said. + +They followed their mom to the basement, where they had some candles and blankets. They waited for the hurricane to pass, hoping that their house and their toys would be OK. They hugged each other and their mom, and tried to be brave. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. The dog barks at them. Tom and Mia are scared. They think the dog is dangerous. + +"Run, Mia, run!" Tom says. He holds Mia's hand and they run away from the dog. The dog chases them. Tom and Mia see a fence. They climb over the fence and hide behind a tree. + +The dog cannot climb the fence. It stops and growls. Then it goes away. Tom and Mia are safe. They hug each other. + +"Thank you, Tom," Mia says. "You are brave. You saved me from the dog." + +Tom smiles. He feels happy. He says, "You are welcome, Mia. You are my friend. I will always help you." + +They look at each other. They see some scratches on their skin. The fence hurt them when they climbed over it. They say, "Ouch!" + +They go to the park bench. They find some band-aids in Tom's backpack. They put the band-aids on their skin. They feel better. + +They decide to go home. They hold hands and walk together. They are careful. They do not want to see the dog again. They are glad they have each other. They are good friends. +Lily and Max were eager to play in the attic. They liked to find old things and pretend they were treasures. They asked their mom if they could go up the stairs. + +"Okay, but be careful and don't make a mess," mom said. "And come down for lunch soon." + +Lily and Max nodded and ran up the stairs. They opened the door and saw a big box. They opened the box and found many clothes. They saw hats, coats, dresses, and shoes. They decided to try them on and play dress-up. + +"I will become a princess," Lily said. She put on a pink dress and a shiny crown. She looked in a mirror and smiled. + +"I will become a pirate," Max said. He put on a black coat and a hat with a feather. He found a wooden sword and a map. He looked in a mirror and made a scary face. + +They played for a long time, pretending they were in a castle and a ship. They had fun and forgot about lunch. They heard mom calling them from downstairs. + +"Lily, Max, come down, it's time to eat," mom said. + +Lily and Max took off the clothes and put them back in the box. They closed the door and went down the stairs. + +"Did you have fun in the attic?" mom asked. + +"Yes, we did," Lily and Max said. "We became a princess and a pirate." + +Mom smiled and gave them a hug. She was happy they used their imagination. She gave them a sandwich and a glass of milk. They ate and told her about their adventure. They were eager to play in the attic again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They ran after it and laughed. + +One time, the ball rolled too far and went into the street. Lily and Ben stopped and looked both ways. They saw no cars, so they ran to get the ball. But they did not see the crack in the road. It was deep and wide. + +Lily stepped on the crack and her foot got stuck. She cried out in pain. Ben heard her and ran to help her. He tried to pull her foot out, but it was too hard. He was scared and worried. + +"Help! Help!" he shouted. "Lily is hurt! She is in the crack!" + +A man who was walking by heard Ben's shout. He came to see what was wrong. He saw Lily and Ben in the street. He was kind and strong. He lifted Lily out of the crack and carried her to the sidewalk. He checked her foot and saw that it was not broken, but it was bruised and swollen. + +"Are you okay, little girl?" he asked Lily. + +"It hurts," Lily said, sobbing. + +"I know, I know. But you are brave. You will be fine soon. Do you have a mom or dad nearby?" + +Lily nodded and pointed to the park. The man saw their parents sitting on a bench. He waved to them and they came running. They were worried and relieved. + +"Thank you, thank you, sir," they said to the man. "You saved our daughter. How can we repay you?" + +The man smiled and said, "No need to repay me. I'm glad I could help. But please, be careful next time. Don't play in the street. It's dangerous. There are cars and cracks and other things that can hurt you. Stay in the park. It's safer and more fun." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We're sorry. We won't do it again. We learned our lesson. Thank you, sir." + +The man hugged them and said, "You're welcome. Now go and play. But remember, be careful and have fun." + +Lily and Ben said goodbye to the man and went back to the park with their parents and their ball. They played and laughed and had fun. But they never played in the street again. They knew it was not worth the worry and the pain. They were happy and safe in the park. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw many flowers of different colors. Lily liked the pink ones best. Ben liked the yellow ones best. They picked some flowers and gave them to each other. + +"Thank you, Lily. Your flower is very pretty," Ben said. + +"Thank you, Ben. Your flower is very bright," Lily said. + +They smelled their flowers and smiled. They saw a big flower that was not open yet. It was green and round. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a ball," Ben said. + +They touched the green flower. It was soft and fuzzy. They tickled it with their fingers. The green flower moved a little. + +"Wow, it is alive!" Lily said. + +"Maybe it is a bug," Ben said. + +They were scared and curious. They moved closer to the green flower. They heard a small sound. It was like a sneeze. + +"Ah-choo!" + +The green flower opened. It was a sunflower. It had many yellow petals and a brown center. It looked at Lily and Ben with a happy face. + +"Hello, little ones. I am Sunny. I was sleeping. Your tickles woke me up. They felt like a massage. Thank you for making me bloom," the sunflower said. + +Lily and Ben were very surprised. They had never heard a flower talk before. They did not know what to say. They looked at each other with confused eyes. + +"Hello, Sunny. We are Lily and Ben. We are sorry for waking you up. We did not know you were a flower. We thought you were a ball or a bug," Lily said. + +"That's okay. I don't mind. You are very nice and friendly. Do you want to be my friends?" Sunny said. + +"Yes, we do. You are very nice and friendly too. And very beautiful," Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged the sunflower. They became friends. They played and talked in the garden. They learned many things from Sunny. They had a lot of fun. +Lily and Ben loved to play with their toy boat. It was red and white and had a big engine. They liked to sail it in the bathtub and make noises like "vroom" and "splash". + +One day, they decided to take their boat to the pond in the park. They asked their mom if they could go, and she said yes, but they had to be careful and not lose their boat. They put their boat in a bag and walked to the park with their mom. + +At the pond, they saw many ducks and geese. They were adorable and quacked and honked. Lily and Ben wanted to feed them some bread, but their mom said no, because it was bad for them. They agreed and took out their boat instead. + +They put their boat in the water and turned on the engine. It sailed fast and made waves. They laughed and cheered and followed their boat along the shore. They saw other kids with their toys and said hello. + +But then, something bad happened. Their boat sailed too far and got stuck in some reeds. They could not reach it or see it. They felt sad and scared. They called their mom and told her what happened. + +Their mom hugged them and said it was okay. She said they could try to get their boat back, but they had to be patient and smart. She said she had an idea. She took out her phone and called someone. + +Soon, a man came with a big net. He was their mom's friend and he worked at the pond. He said he could help them. He used his net to fish out their boat from the reeds. He gave it back to them and smiled. + +Lily and Ben were so happy. They thanked the man and hugged their mom. They said they were sorry for losing their boat and they would be more careful next time. Their mom said she was proud of them and they could still play with their boat, but they had to stay close to her. + +They agreed and sailed their boat again. They had fun and learned a lesson. They loved their boat and their mom and their mom's friend. They were a happy family. +Leo was a little leopard who lived in the jungle with his mama and papa. He liked to play with his friends, but sometimes he felt gloomy. He did not like the rain, the dark, or the loud noises. + +One day, he was playing hide and seek with his friends, when he heard a big thunder. He got scared and ran to find his mama. He saw her under a big tree, with her tail around her. He ran to her and rubbed his head on her fur. + +"Mama, I don't like the thunder. It makes me feel gloomy," he said. + +Mama leopard hugged him and licked his ears. "I know, my little Leo. But the thunder is not bad. It is just the sky talking to us. It tells us that it is going to rain, and that the rain will make the plants and the animals happy and healthy." + +"But the rain is wet and cold. And it makes the jungle dark. I don't like the rain either," Leo said. + +Mama leopard smiled and said, "But the rain is also fun and beautiful. It makes the flowers smell nice, and the rainbows shine. And it makes the mud soft and squishy. You can slide and splash and make mud pies. And when the rain stops, you can see the sun and the stars again. And you can play with your friends some more." + +Leo thought about what his mama said. He looked at the raindrops falling from the leaves, and the colors in the sky. He felt a little less gloomy. He said, "Maybe the rain is not so bad. Maybe I can try to have fun with it. Can we make mud pies, mama?" + +Mama leopard nodded and said, "Of course, my little Leo. Let's go and make some mud pies. And then we can rub them on each other and laugh." + +Leo and his mama ran to the mud and started to make mud pies. They rubbed them on each other and laughed. They felt happy and warm. They did not mind the thunder or the rain anymore. They had fun with the rain. +Tom likes to print. He has a big machine that makes pictures on paper. He can print animals, cars, flowers and more. He likes to print for his friends and family. + +One day, Tom prints a picture of a medal. It is shiny and round and has a star on it. He thinks it is very pretty. He wants to give it to his mom, because she is the best mom in the world. + +He runs to his mom and shows her the picture. He says, "Mom, look what I print for you. It is a medal. You are a star mom. I love you." + +Mom smiles and hugs Tom. She says, "Thank you, Tom. This is a very nice print. You are a star son. I love you too." + +She puts the print on the fridge with a magnet. Tom is happy. He thinks his mom is happy too. He thinks printing is normal, but mom thinks it is special. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with a big red ball. They bounce the ball to each other and laugh. They have fun. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. His name is Sam. He has a blue ball. He bounces his ball by himself. He looks sad. + +Lily and Ben want to be nice. They go to Sam and say hello. They ask him if he wants to play with them. Sam nods and smiles. He joins them and they bounce their balls together. They have more fun. + +They take turns to tell each other stories. Lily tells a story about a princess and a dragon. Ben tells a story about a pirate and a treasure. Sam tells a story about a rocket and a star. They listen and clap. They like each other's stories. + +They learn that sharing and being kind makes them happy. They become good friends. They bounce their balls and tell stories every day. They have the most fun. +Lily and Ben like to play with their toys in the living room. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books and more. But sometimes they make a big mess and Mom is not happy. + +One day, Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you need to organize your toys. Put them in the boxes and on the shelves. Then you can have a snack." + +Lily and Ben nod and start to organize their toys. Lily puts the dolls in a pink box and the books on a shelf. Ben puts the cars in a blue box and the blocks on another shelf. They work hard and fast. + +But then they see an orange chair in the corner. It is a new chair that Mom bought for them. It is soft and cozy and has a picture of a lion on it. + +"Wow, look at the orange chair!" Lily says. "It is so pretty and fun!" + +"Can we sit on it?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, let's try it!" Lily says. + +They run to the orange chair and climb on it. They hug the lion and giggle. They forget about organizing their toys. + +Mom comes back and sees the orange chair. She also sees the toys on the floor. + +"Lily and Ben, what are you doing?" Mom asks. "You did not organize your toys. You only played on the orange chair." + +Lily and Ben look at Mom. They feel sorry. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Lily says. "We like the orange chair so much. It is our favorite toy." + +Mom smiles. She understands. She likes the orange chair too. + +"It is okay, Lily and Ben," Mom says. "The orange chair is very nice. But you still need to organize your toys. How about we do it together? Then we can have a snack and sit on the orange chair." + +Lily and Ben agree. They get off the orange chair and help Mom organize their toys. They put them in the boxes and on the shelves. They make the living room neat and tidy. + +Then they have a snack and sit on the orange chair. They hug the lion and Mom. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play at the beach. They liked to build sand castles, dig holes and look for shells. One day, they saw a big boat on the sea. They wanted to go closer and see what was on the boat. + +"Let's go on the boat!" Tom said. "Maybe there are pirates or treasure!" + +"No, Tom, that's silly!" Lily said. "The boat is too far and too big. We might get lost or fall in the water. We should stay here and play." + +But Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran to the water and tried to swim to the boat. He did not know how to swim very well and soon he was tired and scared. He started to call for help. + +"Lily, help me! I can't swim! I'm sorry, I was silly!" + +Lily heard Tom's call and ran to the water. She saw Tom struggling and waving his arms. She was scared too, but she wanted to help her brother. She found a big stick and threw it to Tom. Tom grabbed the stick and Lily pulled him back to the shore. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. "You were very silly to go to the boat. You could have drowned!" + +"I know, Lily, I'm sorry. You were very brave to save me. Thank you!" Tom said. He hugged Lily and they went back to their sand castle. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to listen to each other and not to do silly things that could be dangerous. They also learned to love and help each other. They had more fun playing at the beach together. +Tom and Sue were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They had a lot of toys, like balls and dolls and cars. They had a modern house, with big windows and bright colors. + +"Look, Tom, look!" Sue said, pointing at the sky. "What is that?" + +Tom looked up and saw a big, dark cloud. It was spinning and roaring. It was a tornado. He felt scared. + +"Come on, Sue, we have to go inside!" Tom said, grabbing her hand. "The tornado is coming!" + +But Sue did not want to go inside. She wanted to see the tornado. She thought it was pretty and fun. + +"No, Tom, no!" Sue said, pulling her hand away. "I want to stay here! I want to play with the tornado!" + +Tom tried to make Sue listen, but she was stubborn. She ran towards the tornado, laughing and clapping. Tom cried and shouted, but she did not hear him. + +The tornado came closer and closer. It was very big and very loud. It picked up Sue and her toys and threw them in the air. Tom watched in horror as Sue disappeared in the storm. He ran inside and hid under the bed. He wished he could save Sue, but he could not. He was alone and sad. The tornado was bad. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tom was a lion and Lily was a zebra. They chased each other around the couch and the table. + +But then they saw a big plate of cookies on the kitchen counter. They both wanted a cookie very much. They ran to the kitchen and tried to reach the plate. But it was too high for them. They jumped and stretched, but they could not get a cookie. + +They looked at each other and had an idea. They decided to work together. Tom climbed on a chair and Lily climbed on his back. They were very careful not to fall. Tom reached the plate and grabbed a cookie. He gave it to Lily and she smiled. Then he took another cookie for himself. + +They climbed down and ran back to the living room. They sat on the floor and ate their cookies. They were very happy and proud. They shared their cookies with their toys and pretended they were having a party. + +But then they heard their mom coming. She saw the plate on the counter and the crumbs on the floor. She knew what they had done. She was not happy. She asked them who took the cookies. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and felt scared. They did not want to get in trouble. They did not know what to say. They thought mom would be angry and take away their toys. + +But then they had another idea. They decided to be honest. They said they were sorry and they took the cookies. They said they were hungry and they worked together. They said they would not do it again. + +Mom looked at them and smiled. She was not angry. She was glad they told the truth. She said they were good kids and she loved them. She said they could have one more cookie each, but only after dinner. She said they had to clean up the mess and wash their hands. + +Tom and Lily said thank you and hugged mom. They were happy and relieved. They cleaned up the mess and washed their hands. They went back to the living room and played with their toys. They said they would not take cookies without asking again. They said they would always tell the truth. They said they were the best team ever. They said they had a funny day. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big stick on the ground. Ben picked it up and said, "Look, I have a sword!" + +Lily said, "No, it's not a sword. It's a wand. I can do magic with it!" + +They started to argue. Ben wanted to be a knight and Lily wanted to be a fairy. They pulled the stick from each other. + +Suddenly, a man came over. He was wearing a suit and a hat. He looked angry. He said, "Hey, that's my stick! Give it back to me!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not know the man. They said, "Sorry, sir. We did not know it was yours. Why do you need a stick?" + +The man said, "It's not a stick. It's a cane. It helps me walk. It's very expensive. It's made of wood and gold. It was a gift from my friend." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry for the man. They gave him the stick. They said, "We're sorry, sir. We hope you can walk well with your cane." + +The man said, "Thank you, kids. You are very kind. Here, take this." He gave them a coin. He said, "You can buy some candy with this. But don't play with other people's things. They might be important to them." + +Ben and Lily said, "Thank you, sir. We won't do it again. We'll be careful." + +They ran to the candy store. They bought some candy. They shared it with each other. They said, "We learned something today. We should not take what is not ours. And we should not fight over a stick. We can have fun with other things." + +They smiled and hugged. They went back to the park. They played with a ball and a kite. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to chase it. + +One time, the ball rolled into the street. Ben ran after it without looking. He did not see the big car coming fast. Lily saw the car and shouted, "Ben, stop! Car!" + +But Ben did not hear her. He reached the ball and picked it up. The car was very close. It honked loudly. Ben was scared. He dropped the ball and tried to run back. But he was too late. The car hit him and he fell down. + +Lily screamed. She ran to Ben and saw blood on his head. He was not moving. She cried and hugged him. She wanted him to wake up. + +The car stopped and the driver got out. He was sorry and scared too. He called for help on his phone. He said, "Please, come quickly. I hit a boy. He needs a hospital." + +Soon, a big truck with a red cross and a loud siren came. It was an ambulance. Two people in white clothes got out. They had a stretcher and a bag. They put Ben on the stretcher and put a bandage on his head. They put him in the truck and told Lily to come with them. They said, "Don't worry. We will take him to the hospital. He will be okay." + +Lily got in the truck and held Ben's hand. She hoped he would open his eyes and talk to her. She was sad and scared. + +The ambulance drove fast to the hospital. It was a big building with many windows and doors. It was not empty. There were many people inside. Some were sick and some were helping. + +The people in white clothes took Ben to a room. They put him on a bed and hooked him to some machines. They said they had to do some tests and fix his head. They told Lily to wait outside. They said, "We will rescue him. He is brave and strong." + +Lily waited outside. She prayed for Ben. She wanted him to be well and play with her again. She missed him. + +After a long time, one of the people in white clothes came out. He smiled and said, "Lily, I have good news. Ben is awake. He is doing better. He wants to see you." + +Lily was happy. She ran to the room and saw Ben on the bed. He had a big bandage on his head, but he was smiling. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was silly. I should have listened to you. Thank you for being my friend." + +Lily hugged him and said, "Ben, I'm sorry too. I was scared. I'm glad you are okay. You are my best friend." + +They smiled and held hands. They were happy. They had rescued each other. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and swing. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +They found a twig on the ground. It was long and thin and brown. They used the twig to poke the tree and make a hole. They put their feet in the hole and climbed up. They felt happy and brave. + +But when they reached the top, they saw a big bird. The bird was black and had a yellow beak. It looked angry and loud. It flapped its wings and opened its mouth. It wanted to scare Lila and Tom away. + +Lila and Tom were anxious. They did not like the bird. They wanted to go down. But they did not know how. The hole was too small and the twig was too weak. They could not climb down. + +They started to cry. They called for help. They hoped someone would hear them and save them. They missed their mom and dad. They wished they never climbed the tree. They learned a lesson. They should not poke the tree with a twig. +Lily liked to mail stories to her grandma. She wrote stories with crayons and stickers. She put them in envelopes and gave them to mom. Mom put stamps on them and took them to the big box. + +One day, Lily was very tired. She had played a lot with her toys and her dog. She did not want to write a story. She wanted to sleep. But she did not want to make grandma sad. + +She had an idea. She took a picture book from her shelf. She opened it and looked at the pictures. She made up a story with the pictures. She told the story to mom. Mom wrote the story on a paper. Lily put the paper and the book in a big envelope. She gave it to mom. + +Mom smiled and said, "What a nice story, Lily! Grandma will love it!" She put a stamp on the big envelope and took it to the big box. + +Lily was happy. She hugged mom and said, "I love you, mom. I love grandma, too."

Ben asked. + +Lily looked at the jar of salt. There was not much left. She wanted to keep it for herself. She said, "No, this is my salt. You can't have any." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He said, "That's not fair. You have to share. Sharing is good." + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, this is mine. Go away." + +Ben was hurt. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He took his clay and left. + +Lily played with her salted clay alone. She made a big star and a moon. But she did not feel happy. She felt lonely and bored. She missed Ben and his clay animals. She wished she had shared the salt with him. + +She looked at the jar of salt again. There was still some left. She had an idea. She took the jar and ran after Ben. She found him sitting on a bench, playing with his soft clay. + +"Ben, I'm sorry. I was mean and selfish. Do you want some salt for your clay?" Lily said. + +Ben looked at her. He saw the jar of salt and the star and the moon. He smiled. He said, "Yes, thank you. That's very kind of you. Do you want to play with my clay too?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, please.

Sam said, admiring her. "But I am a strong lion, and I can catch you!" + +He ran after her and tried to grab her with his paws. Lily giggled and dodged him. They were very cheerful and did not notice the smell of smoke. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud beep and saw a red light flashing on the wall. It was the fire alarm. They also heard their mom shouting from the kitchen. + +"Sam! Lily! Come here quickly! There is a fire in the oven! We have to leave the house now!" + +Sam and Lily were scared and dropped their toys. They ran to their mom, who was holding a wet towel and a phone. She wrapped them in the towel and opened the door. They saw smoke coming out of the kitchen window and heard sirens in the distance. + +"Mom, what is happening?" Sam asked, holding her hand. + +"There was an accident, Sam. Some oil caught fire in the oven. But don't worry, we are safe now. The firemen are coming to put out the fire. We have to go to the neighbor's house and wait for them." + +"Will our toys be okay?" Lily asked, looking back at the living room. + +"I hope so, Lily. But the most important thing is that you are okay. You are my brave and smart kids. You did the right thing by listening to the alarm and coming to me. I love you very much." + +She hugged them and led them to the neighbor's house, where they were welcomed by Mrs. Jones, who gave them cookies and milk. They watched from the window as the firemen arrived and sprayed water on the fire. They hoped their toys would be okay, but they were also glad they were safe and together. They were still cheerful, even though they were scared. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many toys, but they want more. One day, they see a big box in the garage. It has a picture of a shiny red car on it. + +"Wow, look at that car!" Tim says. "It must be very expensive. I hope it is for us." + +"Me too," Sam says. "Let's open the box and see." + +They run to the box and tear off the tape. They lift the lid and see the car. It is very big and has four wheels. It also has a bottle of oil and a funnel. + +"What is this for?" Tim asks, holding the oil. + +"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe it makes the car go faster." + +"Let's try it," Tim says. He opens the car door and pours some oil on the seat. He also pours some on the floor and the windows. + +"Stop, stop!" Sam says. "You are making a mess. And you are wasting the oil. It is expensive." + +"I don't care," Tim says. "It is fun. And the car is ours." + +"No, it is not," Sam says. "It is Dad's. He bought it for his birthday. He will be very angry when he sees what you did." + +Tim and Sam look at each other. They see the oil everywhere. They hear the garage door open. They hear Dad's footsteps. They are scared. They hide behind the box and hope Dad will not find them. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their mom and dad. Today, they are going to the park for a visit. They are very happy. + +They put on their hats and shoes. They hold their mom's and dad's hands. They walk to the park. They see many things on the way. They see cars and buses and bikes.

Ben asks. + +"Of course, buddy. Let's go to the sandbox," dad says. + +They go to the sandbox. They find some buckets and shovels and molds. They make sand castles and sand cakes and sand animals.

They say thank you for the visit. They walk back home. They have a nice nap. They dream of the park. +Lily and Mia liked to draw with pastels. Pastels were soft and colorful sticks that made pretty pictures on paper. They had many pastels in a big box that they shared. + +One day, they wanted to draw a rainbow. They took out the pastels and looked for the colors they needed. They found red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. But they could not find purple. Purple was the last color of the rainbow. + +"Where is purple?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe we lost it," Mia said. + +They searched the box, but they could not find purple. They felt sad. They wanted to draw a rainbow, but they could not without purple. + +Then, Lily had an idea. She took the blue pastel and the red pastel. She put them together and rubbed them on the paper.

I can't wait to play with you again." + +Mom drives to grandma's house. Lily looks out the window. She thinks of Mia. She hopes Mia is not scared or lonely. She hopes Mia is ready to see her. + +At grandma's house, Lily runs to the door. She knocks and shouts, "Grandma, grandma, I'm here! Where is Mia? Did she arrive?" + +Grandma opens the door. She smiles and hugs Lily. She says, "Hello, Lily. I'm so happy to see you. Yes, Mia arrived. She is in the living room. She is waiting for you." + +Lily runs to the living room. She sees the box.

We love you very much. We are glad you are together. Now, let's have some fun." +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a doll. Ben wanted to make his truck louder, so he looked for some tape to stick on the wheels. He saw a roll of tape on the table and grabbed it. + +"Hey, that's my tape!" Lily shouted. "I need it for my doll's hair!" + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "I saw it first!" + +They both pulled on the tape, but it was very sticky and strong. They could not break it or share it. They started to yell and cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the tape and the toys and the children. She was very angry. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "This tape is not for playing! It's for fixing things! And look at your toys! They are filthy! You have dirt and glue and tape all over them!" + +She took the tape and the toys away from Ben and Lily. She said they had to go to their rooms and think about what they did. She said they could not have any snacks or stories or hugs until they said sorry. + +Ben and Lily felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had not fought over the tape. They wished they had played nicely with their toys. They wished they had listened to Mom. But it was too late. They had to go to their rooms and wait. They had no tape, no toys, no snacks, no stories, and no hugs. They had a bad ending. +Lily was sick. She had a cough and a fever. Mommy took her to the doctor. Lily did not like the doctor. He was loud and scary. He looked at her ears and throat. He gave her a shot. Lily cried. + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. The shot will make you feel better. You are very brave." Lily sniffed and nodded. She wanted to go home. + +The doctor gave Mommy a paper. He said, "Take this to the nurse. She will give you some medicine for Lily." Mommy and Lily walked to the nurse. The nurse was nice. She had a bright smile and a pink dress. She gave Lily a sticker and a lollipop. She said, "You did a great job, Lily. I hope you get well soon." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, nurse." She liked the nurse. She was kind and gentle. She gave Lily the medicine and a cup of water. She said, "Drink this, Lily. It will help your cough and fever. You have to take it every day until you are better." + +Mommy and Lily said goodbye to the nurse. They went to the car. Mommy buckled Lily in her seat. She said, "Let's go home, Lily. You can rest and play with your toys. I love you, Lily." Lily said, "I love you, Mommy." She felt a little better. She licked her lollipop and looked at her sticker. She was glad the doctor and the nurse were done. She hoped she would not be sick again. +Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They skip and run and laugh. They see a big hill with a lot of flowers.

They want to help the animals. They have an idea. They say, "OK, we will go away. But can we give you a flower? It is very pretty and smells good." + +The man thinks they are silly. He says, "A flower? What do I need a flower for? But OK, give me one. Maybe it will make me lucky." + +Ben and Mia pick a flower from the hill. But they do not give it to the man. They throw it in the trap. The trap snaps shut. The man is angry. He says, "Hey, you tricked me. You are bad kids. Let me out of here." + +Ben and Mia laugh. They say, "No, we are good kids. We saved the animals. You are a bad man. You should not hurt animals. Stay in the trap until someone finds you." + +They skip and run away. They are happy. They did a good thing.

We are nice," Lily says. She talks softly to the bird. She reaches out her hand slowly. + +The bird sees Lily's hand. It sees the bread. It is hungry. It hops to the bread and eats it.

She understood that they were curious and adventurous, but she also wanted them to be polite and respectful.

She poured some water in a cup for Leo and some chocolate milk in a cup for Mira. She gave them the cups and said, + +"Here, why don't you try this? You can drink what you like, but you can also taste what the other one likes. Maybe you'll find something new that you enjoy. And maybe you'll learn something new about each other. That's how you grow and learn," she said. + +Mira and Leo looked at their cups and then at each other. They felt curious and brave. They decided to try what their mother said.

It is very messy and dirty. You have to put away your toys, make your bed, and throw away the trash. If you don't clean your room, you can't have a party." + +Sara was very angry. She did not want to clean her room. She thought it was boring and hard. She said, "No, I won't clean my room. You can't make me. I want a party now!" + +Sara's mom said, "Sara, you are being very rude and selfish. You have to learn to be responsible and respectful. If you don't clean your room, you will have no party, no cake, no balloons, and no presents. You will stay in your room all day and think about your behavior." + +Sara did not believe her mom. She thought her mom was bluffing. She said, "Fine, I don't care. I don't need a party. I have enough toys and clothes. I will play and watch TV in my room. You are a mean mom." + +Sara's mom said, "Okay, Sara, you have made your choice. I hope you will change your mind and clean your room. But if you don't, you will miss your party and your friends. I will go and prepare everything for the party. You have one hour to clean your room." + +Sara's mom left the room and closed the door. Sara was alone in her messy and dirty room. She looked around and saw her toys, clothes, and trash. She felt a little sad and lonely. She wondered if her mom was really going to have a party without her. She wondered if her friends would come and have fun without her. She wondered if she was being a spoiled girl. + +She thought for a while and then decided to clean her room. She said to herself, "Maybe mom is right. Maybe I should be more responsible and respectful. Maybe I should clean my room and say sorry to mom. Maybe I can still have a party and enjoy my birthday." + +She got up and started to clean her room. She put away her toys, made her bed, and threw away the trash. She worked hard and fast. She wanted to finish before the hour was up. She wanted to show her mom that she could be a good girl. + +She finished cleaning her room and looked around. She felt proud and happy. She saw her room was neat and tidy. She said to herself, "I did it! I cleaned my room! It looks so nice and cozy. I hope mom will be proud of me too. I hope I can still have a party and celebrate my birthday." + +She opened the door and ran to find her mom. She saw her mom in the living room, with a big cake, balloons, and presents. She saw her friends waiting for her, with smiles and hugs. She saw her mom looking at her, with love and joy. + +She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was a spoiled girl. I cleaned my room. I want to be a good girl. I love you, mom." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Sara, I'm so proud of you. You did a great job. You are a good girl. I love you too, Sara. Happy birthday, Sara." + +Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you for the party. Thank you for the cake, balloons, and presents. Thank you for being my mom." + +She joined her friends and had a wonderful party. She shared and said thank you. She had fun and learned a lesson. She was a happy girl. +Lily and Ben were very happy to move to a new house. They had many boxes with their toys and clothes. They wanted to unpack them and play in their new rooms. + +"Can we unpack now, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for Dad to come home. He has the keys to the rooms," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to unpack now. They looked around the living room. They saw a big couch. It was red and blue and yellow. It had many shapes on it. It was a unique couch. + +"Wow, look at this couch!" Ben said. "It looks like a puzzle. Let's play on it!" + +Lily and Ben climbed on the couch. They jumped and bounced and slid. They had fun. They did not see the sign on the couch. It said: "Do not sit on the couch. It is very old and fragile. It will break." + +The couch made a loud noise. It cracked and snapped and collapsed. Lily and Ben fell to the floor. They were hurt and scared. They cried. + +Mom heard the noise. She ran to the living room. She saw the broken couch and the crying children. She was angry and worried. + +"What have you done?" Mom yelled. "This couch was very special. It belonged to Grandma. She gave it to us as a gift. It was very expensive and rare. You have ruined it!" + +Lily and Ben felt very bad. They said they were sorry. They did not mean to break the couch. They just wanted to play. + +Mom did not listen. She said they were naughty and careless. She said they had to go to their rooms and stay there. She said they could not unpack or play until Dad came home. She said he would be very mad too. + +Lily and Ben went to their rooms. They were sad and lonely. They wished they had not played on the couch. They wished they had waited to unpack. They wished they had a different new house. They wished they had a different mom. +Lily liked to help her mom in the house. She liked to wipe the table and the chairs with a cloth. She liked to wipe the dust from the books and the toys. She liked to wipe the windows and make them shiny. + +One day, Lily wanted to help her mom with the fireplace. She saw some ashes and some wood on the floor. She thought they were dirty. She took her cloth and tried to wipe them. But the cloth got black and the ashes flew in the air. Lily coughed and sneezed. + +Mom heard Lily and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily with a black cloth and a dirty face. She saw the ashes and the wood on the floor. She saw the fireplace was cold and empty. She was not angry, but she was worried. + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "Lily, you are a good helper, but you should not wipe the fireplace. The fireplace is not for wiping. The fireplace is for making fire. Fire is hot and bright and cozy. But fire can also be dangerous and hurt you. You should never touch the fireplace without me or dad." + +Mom took Lily to the bathroom and washed her face and hands. She threw away the black cloth and got a new one. She cleaned the floor and the fireplace. She put some new wood in the fireplace and lit a match. She made a fire that was hot and bright and cozy. She and Lily sat on the couch and watched the fire. Lily felt warm and happy. She said, "Mom, I love you and I love the fireplace. But I will not wipe it again." Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love that you want to help. But next time, let's wipe something else." +Ben and Lily were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They were very excited to fly on a big plane and see a new place. They packed their bags and went to the airport. + +When they got on the plane, Ben and Lily looked out the window and saw the clouds and the sky. They felt like they were flying too. They asked their mom and dad many questions about the trip. "Where are we going?" "How long will it take?" "What will we do there?" + +Mom and dad smiled and answered their questions. They told them they were going to a city with many buildings and people. They said it would take a few hours to get there. They said they would stay in a hotel and visit some parks and museums. + +Ben and Lily were happy and curious. They wanted to see everything. They played with their toys and read some books on the plane. They also ate some snacks and drank some juice. + +But then, something bad happened. Lily felt sick in her tummy. She told her mom she needed to go to the bathroom. Mom took her by the hand and walked to the back of the plane. But before they got there, Lily threw up on the floor. She felt very bad and ashamed. She started to cry. + +Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. It's not your fault. Sometimes people get sick on planes. It's normal. Don't worry. We will clean it up and you will feel better soon." + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry, everyone." + +Mom said, "It's okay, Lily. Everyone understands. Ben is not mad at you. He loves you. And so do I. And so does Dad. And so do the people on the plane. They are nice and kind. They will help us." + +Lily smiled a little and said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you too. And I love Ben. And I love Dad. And I love the people on the plane. They are nice and kind." + +Mom and Lily went to the bathroom and cleaned up. Then they went back to their seats. Ben gave Lily a hug and a kiss. He said, "I'm glad you're okay, Lily. You're my best sister. I can't wait to see the hotel with you. It will be fun." + +Lily said, "Thank you, Ben. You're my best brother. I can't wait to see the hotel with you too. It will be fun." + +Mom and Dad smiled and said, "We're proud of you, Ben and Lily. You're brave and sweet. We love you very much. We're almost there. Are you ready to see the city?" + +Ben and Lily said, "Yes, we are. We're ready to see the city. We're ready to have fun. We're ready to fly." +Tim and Liz were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big bin near the fence. It was green and had a lock on it. + +"I wonder what is inside the bin," Tim said. "Maybe toys or candy." + +"Let's find out," Liz said. "Maybe we can unlock it." + +They looked around for something to open the lock. They saw a stick on the ground. Tim picked it up and tried to poke the lock. It did not work. He tried to hit the lock. It did not work. + +"Let me try," Liz said. She took the stick and pushed it into the lock. She twisted it and heard a click. The lock opened. + +"Yay, we did it!" Tim said. He lifted the lid of the bin. + +They looked inside the bin. They saw a lot of trash. They saw old food, cans, bottles and papers. They also saw something furry and brown. It moved and made a noise. + +"Rrrrrr!" + +Tim and Liz were scared. They dropped the stick and the lid. They ran away from the bin. They saw a big dog come out of the bin. It was dirty and angry. It barked and chased them. + +"Help, help!" Tim and Liz shouted. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. They hugged them and told them what happened. + +"It's okay, it's okay," their mom and dad said. "You are safe now. But you should not unlock bins that are not yours. You don't know what is inside. It could be dangerous or dirty." + +Tim and Liz nodded. They learned their lesson. They did not want to unlock bins anymore. They wanted to play with their own toys and candy. +Sam and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. One day, they both want to play with the cool train that makes noise and moves. + +"Give me the train!" Sam says. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily says. + +They pull and tug on the train. The train breaks in two. Sam and Lily start to cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to their room. She sees the broken train and the sad twins. She is not happy. + +"Sam and Lily, what did you do?" Mom says. "You broke the train. That was not nice. You need to share and be kind to each other." + +Mom makes them stand in the corner and listen to her lecture. She tells them why they should not fight and how they can say sorry and fix the train. + +Sam and Lily feel bad. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They hug and make up. They use glue and tape to fix the train. They take turns to play with it. They smile and laugh. + +Mom sees them and smiles too. She is proud of them. She says, "Good job, Sam and Lily. You learned your lesson. Sharing is caring. Fighting is not fun. I love you both." + +The end. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They like to make them zoom and crash and honk. But then, Anna's car breaks. The wheel falls off and the car cannot move. + +"Oh no!" Anna cries. "My car is broken! I need to repair it!" + +Ben looks at Anna's car. He has an idea. He runs to the kitchen and comes back with a piece of beef. He puts the beef on the wheel and tries to stick it to the car. + +"Here you go, Anna. I fixed your car with beef. Now it can move again!" + +Anna looks at Ben's repair. She is not happy. She shakes her head. + +"No, Ben. That is not a good repair. Beef is not for cars. Beef is for eating. And it smells bad. And it will attract flies. And it will make my car dirty. And it will fall off again. I do not want beef on my car. I want a new wheel!" + +Ben is persistent. He does not want to give up. He thinks beef is a good repair. He tries to convince Anna. + +"But beef is soft and juicy. And it is red like your car. And it is yummy. And it is fun. And it is different. And it is clever. And it is beef! You should try it, Anna. You will like it!" + +Anna is persistent too. She does not want to try it. She wants a new wheel. She argues with Ben. + +"No, Ben. Beef is not soft and juicy. It is wet and sticky. And it is not red like my car. It is brown and bloody. And it is not yummy. It is gross. And it is not fun. It is silly. And it is not different. It is weird. And it is not clever. It is stupid. And it is not beef! It is garbage! You should take it off, Ben. You will hate it!" + +They keep arguing and arguing. They do not listen to each other. They do not agree. They are both persistent. + +Mom hears them and comes to the garden. She sees Anna's car with beef on the wheel. She sees Ben and Anna fighting. She is not happy. She scolds them. + +"Stop it, you two! What are you doing? Why are you putting beef on the car? Why are you yelling at each other? That is not how you play. That is not how you repair. That is not how you share. That is not nice!" + +She takes the beef off the car and throws it in the bin. She gives Anna a new wheel and helps her fix her car. She gives Ben a hug and tells him to be sorry. She tells them to play nicely and to use their words. She tells them to be kind and to respect each other. She tells them to be less persistent and more flexible. + +Ben and Anna listen to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They play with their cars again. They zoom and crash and honk. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily liked to gaze at the pictures on the wall. They were bright and pretty and made her happy. She wanted to make pictures like that too. She asked her mom for some paper and paint. + +"Here you go, sweetie. You can be a painter like the ones who made these pictures. Have fun!" Mom said and gave Lily a hug. + +Lily took the paper and paint and went to the table. She dipped her brush in the paint and started to make swirls and dots and lines. She used red and yellow and blue and green and purple. She smiled as she saw her picture grow. + +But then she ran out of paint. She looked at her picture and felt sad. It was not bright and pretty like the ones on the wall. It was dull and messy. She did not like it. She wanted more paint. + +"Mom, can I have more paint, please?" Lily asked. + +"Sorry, honey, we don't have any more paint. Maybe we can buy some later. Why don't you show me your picture?" Mom said and came to the table. + +Lily showed her picture to Mom. She waited for Mom to say something nice. But Mom did not say anything. She just looked at the picture and frowned. + +Lily felt worse. She thought Mom did not like her picture either. She thought Mom was mad at her. She started to cry. + +"Hey, hey, don't cry, Lily. I'm not mad at you. I'm just surprised. Your picture is very different from the ones on the wall. But that's not a bad thing. That's a good thing. You have your own style. You are a creative painter. You don't have to copy anyone else. You can make your own pictures. And I think your picture is beautiful. It has so many colors and shapes and movements. It makes me feel happy. Can I hang it on the wall next to the other pictures?" Mom said and hugged Lily. + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Mom and smiled. She felt happy too. She nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Mom. I love you." + +"I love you too, Lily. You are my little painter." Mom said and kissed Lily. Then she hung Lily's picture on the wall. Lily gazed at her picture and felt proud. She liked it. She liked being a painter. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the field near their home. The field has many flowers and bugs and birds. Tim and Sue run and laugh and have fun. + +One day, a big dog comes to the field. The dog is not healthy. He has dirt and cuts and fleas on his fur. He is hungry and angry. He sees Tim and Sue and barks loud. + +"Go away, dog!" Tim says. "This is our field. You cannot play here." + +But the dog does not listen. He runs fast to Tim and Sue. He bites Tim on his leg. Tim cries and falls down. Sue is scared. She tries to help Tim. + +"Help, help!" Sue shouts. "Someone come and help us!" + +But no one hears Sue. The field is far from the houses. The dog bites Sue on her arm. Sue cries and falls down too. The dog eats their food and toys. He leaves Tim and Sue alone. They are hurt and sad. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw some fish and crabs and shells. They were having fun. + +"Look, Tom, a shark!" Lily said, pointing to a big gray shape in the water. She was scared. + +"Don't worry, Lily, it's not a real shark. It's a toy shark. See, it has a smile and a fin. It's playful, not mean." Tom said, picking up the toy shark and showing it to Lily. He was brave. + +"Are you sure, Tom? It looks like it can chew us." Lily said, still not sure. + +"Trust me, Lily, it's just a toy. Here, you can hold it and see for yourself. It's soft and squeaky. It won't chew us, it will chew the sand." Tom said, giving the toy shark to Lily. He was kind. + +Lily took the toy shark and felt it. It was soft and squeaky. She squeezed it and it made a funny noise. She laughed. She was not scared anymore. + +"Thank you, Tom, you're right. It's a playful toy shark. Can we play with it together?" Lily said, smiling at Tom. + +"Sure, Lily, we can play with it together. Let's make it swim and jump and chew the sand. It will be fun." Tom said, smiling back at Lily. + +They played with the toy shark in the sand and water. They made it swim and jump and chew the sand. They had fun. They were happy. +One day, Ben and Mia were playing outside. They liked to pretend they were space explorers, and they had a big cardboard box as their rocket. They put on their helmets and gloves, and got ready to blast off. + +"Five, four, three, two, one, go!" Ben shouted, and they pushed the box with their feet. They made zooming noises and imagined they were flying to the moon. They saw stars and planets and meteors in the sky. + +"Look, there's a comet!" Mia said, pointing to a bright streak of light. "It's so pretty!" + +"Let's follow it!" Ben said, and they steered their box towards the comet. They got closer and closer, and saw that the comet had a long tail of fire and ice. + +"Wow, it's amazing!" Mia said, admiring the comet. "Can we touch it?" + +"No, we can't!" Ben said, suddenly scared. "It's too hot and cold, and it might hurt us. It's bad to touch comets, they are not for playing. We have to stay away from it!" + +He pulled the box back, and they moved away from the comet. They looked for a safer place to land, and saw a big green field. They decided to go there, and gently landed their box on the grass. + +"Phew, that was close!" Ben said, wiping his forehead. "We almost got burned by the comet!" + +"Good thing you stopped us, Ben!" Mia said, hugging him. "You are very smart and brave. You saved us from the bad comet!" + +They smiled at each other, and got out of their box. They ran around the field, and played with some flowers and bugs. They had fun, and learned not to touch things that might hurt them. + +The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big tree in the park. Anna and Ben want to climb the tree. + +"Can we climb the tree?" Anna asks Ben. + +"Yes, we can. But we have to be careful. The tree is very high." Ben says. + +They hold hands and walk to the tree. They find a low branch and pull themselves up. They climb higher and higher. They see birds and squirrels and leaves. They feel happy and brave. + +"Look, Ben, I have a bow!" Anna says. She shows Ben a bow made of grass and flowers. She found it on the tree. + +"Wow, Anna, your bow is very pretty. You are good at making bows." Ben says. He smiles at Anna. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Do you want to wear my bow?" Anna says. She puts the bow on Ben's head. + +"Yes, thank you, Anna. I like your bow. You are a good friend, too." Ben says. He laughs. + +They hug and look at the sky. They see clouds and sun and rainbows. They feel happy and loved. They are good friends. They like to climb the tree. +Lily and Tom were playing with their crayons. They liked to draw pictures of animals and flowers. Lily wanted to draw a rainbow, but she did not have all the colors. She only had red, yellow, green and blue. + +"Tom, can I have your purple crayon?" she asked. + +"No, I need it for my dinosaur," Tom said. + +"But I want to complete my rainbow," Lily said. + +"Sorry, you have to wait," Tom said. + +Lily was sad. She looked out the window and saw a big black cloud. It was going to rain soon. She wished she could see a real rainbow in the sky. + +Suddenly, she heard a loud boom. It was thunder. She saw a flash of light. It was lightning. She was scared. She ran to Tom and hugged him. + +"Tom, I'm scared of the thunder and lightning," she said. + +"Don't worry, Lily, I'm here," Tom said. + +He gave her his purple crayon. "Here, you can have it. Complete your rainbow." + +Lily smiled. She took the crayon and finished her rainbow. She thanked Tom and gave him a kiss. + +They looked out the window again. The rain had stopped. The sun was shining. And in the sky, they saw a beautiful rainbow. It had all the colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. + +"Look, Tom, a rainbow!" Lily said. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Tom said. + +They clapped their hands and cheered. They were happy. They had made a rainbow and seen a rainbow. They had shared and cared. They were good friends. +Tim and Jen like to play with their cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds like vroom and beep when they move their cars on the floor. + +One day, they find a big car in the garage. It is red and shiny and has four doors. Tim and Jen want to play with the big car. They open the doors and sit inside. They pretend to drive the big car. They turn the wheel and press the buttons. + +But the big car does not move. Tim and Jen wonder why. They see a key in the hole. They think the key can make the car move. They try to turn the key, but it is too hard. They pull the key, but it does not come out. They pull harder and harder, but the key stays in the hole. + +Then they hear a loud noise. It is Dad. He is angry. He sees Tim and Jen in the big car. He tells them to get out. He says the big car is not a toy. He says the key is not for pulling. He says they can break the big car. + +Tim and Jen are scared. They get out of the big car. They say sorry to Dad. They run to their room. They do not want to play with the big car anymore. They only want to play with their small cars. They are sweet and fun. The big car is bitter and mean. +Tom and Anna were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, Tom found a shiny ball in the park. It was red and blue and had stars on it. He showed it to Anna and said, "Look what I found! It is so pretty and round!" + +Anna liked the ball too. She asked Tom, "Can I play with it for a little bit? Please, please, please?" Tom was not sure. He liked the ball a lot and did not want to lose it. But he also wanted to make Anna happy. He said, "Okay, you can play with it for a little bit. But you have to promise to give it back to me soon. And you have to be careful. The ball is fragile. It can break easily." + +Anna nodded and said, "I promise, I promise, I promise. I will give it back to you soon. And I will be careful. Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." She took the ball and ran to the slide. She wanted to see how high the ball could bounce. + +Tom watched her from the bench. He hoped she would keep her promise. He hoped she would not break the ball. He waited and waited. He saw Anna slide down and throw the ball in the air. He saw the ball bounce on the ground and roll away. He saw a big dog run after the ball and catch it in its mouth. He heard a loud pop and saw the ball burst into pieces. He saw Anna cry and the dog run away. + +Tom felt very sad and angry. He ran to Anna and said, "You broke my ball! You broke my ball! You did not keep your promise! You did not be careful! You are a bad friend!" He pushed Anna and made her fall. He did not care that she was hurt. He did not care that she was sorry. He did not want to play with her anymore. He ran away and left her alone. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They care for each other. They share their toys and snacks. They help each other when they fall or get hurt. + +One day, they see a green bird in a tree. The bird is very pretty. It has a long tail and a yellow beak. It sings a sweet song. Anna and Ben want to see the bird closer. They walk to the tree and look up. + +But the bird is scared. It does not like people. It flies away to another tree. Anna and Ben are sad. They want to hear the bird sing again. They want to make the bird happy. + +They have an idea. They find some seeds and nuts on the ground. They put them in a small pile near the tree. They hope the bird will come and eat them. They hide behind a bush and wait. + +Soon, the bird sees the food. It is hungry. It flies down and lands on the pile. It pecks at the seeds and nuts. It likes them. It feels safe. It sings a thank you song. Anna and Ben are happy. They smile and clap. They think the bird is great. They are glad they cared for the bird. They are good friends. +Lily and Max were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Max was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Max, but she could not see him. She wondered where he was hiding. + +She walked towards the pond, where there were some ducks and fish. She thought maybe Max was hiding behind a bush or a rock. She heard a splash in the water and saw something big and green. She was curious and scared. She decided to peek at the pond and see what it was. + +She tiptoed to the edge of the pond and bent down. She saw a long snout, sharp teeth and scaly skin. It was a crocodile! Lily gasped and jumped back. She ran away from the pond, shouting for Max. + +"Max, Max, where are you? There is a crocodile in the pond! It is scary and dangerous! Come out, come out, please!" + +Max heard Lily's voice and came out from his hiding spot. He was hiding under a slide, where Lily could not see him. He saw Lily running towards him, looking scared and worried. He hugged her and asked her what was wrong. + +"Lily, what happened? Why are you so scared? Did you see something bad?" + +Lily told Max about the crocodile in the pond. She said it was big and green and had sharp teeth. She said it was mysterious and scary. She said she did not like it at all. + +Max listened to Lily and tried to calm her down. He said he was sorry for hiding so well. He said he did not know there was a crocodile in the pond. He said he wanted to see it too. He said maybe it was not so bad. He said maybe it was just a toy or a statue. + +Lily looked at Max and shook her head. She said she did not want to see the crocodile again. She said she wanted to play something else. She said she wanted to go to the swings or the sandbox. She said she wanted to have fun and be happy. + +Max nodded and agreed. He said he wanted to play something else too. He said he wanted to go to the swings or the sandbox. He said he wanted to have fun and be happy. He said he loved Lily and he was glad she was safe. + +Lily smiled and said she loved Max too. She said he was a good brother and a good friend. She said she was glad he was with her. They held hands and walked away from the pond. They did not look back at the crocodile. They did not know if it was real or not. They did not care. They just wanted to play and have fun. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Tom says. + +They rush to the slide. They see a man with a mask. The mask is scary. It has big teeth and wide eyes. The man is bad. He wants to take Lily and Tom. + +"Help!" Lily and Tom shout. + +But no one hears them. The man grabs them. He puts them in a big bag. He runs away with the bag. + +Lily and Tom are sad and scared. They cry in the bag. They do not know where the man is taking them. They wish they did not go on the slide. They wish they stayed with their moms. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a pigeon on the grass. It was brown and white and had a shiny neck. + +"Look, a pigeon!" Tom said. "Let's feed it some bread." + +They ran to the pigeon with some bread in their hands. The pigeon was scared and flew away. + +"Come back, pigeon!" Lily said. "We want to be your friends." + +They followed the pigeon to a big tree. The pigeon landed on a branch. Tom and Lily tried to climb the tree, but it was too high. + +"Please, pigeon, come down!" Tom said. "We have bread for you." + +The pigeon looked at them with its small black eyes. It made a soft sound. + +"Co-coo, co-coo," the pigeon said. + +Lily smiled. She thought the pigeon was talking to them. + +"Hello, pigeon," she said. "We are Tom and Lily. We are gentle. We won't hurt you." + +The pigeon tilted its head. It seemed curious. + +"Co-coo, co-coo," the pigeon said again. + +Tom and Lily broke some bread and threw it to the pigeon. The pigeon flew down and ate the bread. It came closer to them. + +"Can we pet you, pigeon?" Lily asked. + +The pigeon nodded. It let them touch its feathers. They were soft and warm. + +"Wow, you are so nice, pigeon," Tom said. "Can we be your friends?" + +The pigeon nodded again. It made a happy sound. + +"Co-coo, co-coo," the pigeon said. + +Tom and Lily hugged the pigeon. They were very happy. They had a new friend. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It barked and ran to them. It wanted to chase the pigeon. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom said. "Leave our pigeon alone!" + +The dog did not listen. It jumped and snapped at the pigeon. The pigeon was scared and flew away. + +"Come back, pigeon!" Lily said. "Don't go!" + +But the pigeon was gone. Tom and Lily could not see it. They were very sad. They started to cry. + +"Where is our pigeon?" Tom said. "We miss it." + +"Me too," Lily said. "It was our friend." + +They hugged each other and cried. They hoped the pigeon was safe. They hoped they would see it again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They were happy and smiled a lot. + +But then they saw a big, dark cloud in the sky. It looked angry and scary. It made a loud noise like a lion. It started to rain hard. Tom and Lily did not like the rain. It made them wet and cold. They wanted to go home. + +They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She had an umbrella and a coat. She saw the cloud and the rain too. She said, "Come on, kids, let's go home. It's not safe to play in the storm." + +Tom and Lily were obedient. They did what their mom said. They held her hand and walked to the car. But they were not happy. They frowned and pouted. They wanted to play more. + +Mom saw their frowns and said, "Don't be sad, kids. The rain will stop soon. Then we can play again. Maybe we can see a rainbow. Rainbows are pretty and make us happy." + +Tom and Lily looked at the sky. They hoped to see a rainbow. They stopped frowning and smiled a little. They said, "OK, mom. We love you. And we love rainbows." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play games and learn new things. One day, they have a quiz at school. The quiz is about animals and colors. + +Lily is good at the quiz. She knows that a cow is black and white, and a frog is green. She also knows that a lion is big and loud, and a mouse is small and quiet. She answers all the questions right. + +Tom is not so good at the quiz. He gets confused by some animals and colors. He thinks that a pig is pink and purple, and a fish is blue and yellow. He also thinks that a bear is small and soft, and a bird is big and hard. He answers some questions wrong. + +When the quiz is over, the teacher gives Lily a star sticker. She says, "Lily, you did a lovely job on the quiz. You are very smart and careful." + +The teacher gives Tom a smiley sticker. She says, "Tom, you tried hard on the quiz. You are very brave and curious." + +Lily and Tom look at each other. They are happy for each other. They say, "Thank you, teacher. We like the quiz. We like to learn new things." + +They hug and go to play. They are good friends. They share their stickers and their toys. They yield to each other and take turns. They have fun and laugh. They are happy. +Lily loves to wear her cow dress. It is black and white, like a cow, and has a pink bow on the front. She thinks it is adorable. She wears it every day, even when it is hot or cold. + +One day, Lily goes to the farm with her mom and dad. She sees many animals, like pigs, chickens, and horses. But her favorite is the cow. She runs to the fence and says hello to the cow. + +"Moo!" says the cow. It looks at Lily and her dress. It thinks she is adorable too. + +"Can I pet you?" asks Lily. She reaches out her hand and touches the cow's nose. It is soft and wet. + +"Sure, you can pet me," says the cow. "You are very nice and friendly. And I like your dress. It looks like me." + +"Thank you," says Lily. "You are very nice and friendly too. And I like your fur. It is black and white, like my dress." + +Lily and the cow become friends. They talk and play for a long time. Lily is very happy. She loves her cow dress and her new friend. +Lila and Ben like to play in the park. They have a big box of rocks that they find and keep. They look for rocks that are shiny, smooth, or have different colors. Sometimes they break the rocks to see what is inside. + +One day, they find a big gray rock that is very hard. They try to break it with their hands, but it does not work. They look for a smaller rock that they can use to hit the big rock. They find one that is sharp and heavy. They call it a hammer rock. + +Lila holds the big gray rock and Ben holds the hammer rock. He strikes the big gray rock with the hammer rock. He strikes it again and again. He strikes it so hard that the hammer rock breaks in half. But the big gray rock does not break. + +Lila and Ben are surprised and curious. They look at the hammer rock and see that it has shiny bits inside. They touch the shiny bits and feel that they are smooth and cold. They realize that the hammer rock is not just a rock, but a mineral. They wonder what other minerals are in their box of rocks. + +They decide to keep the hammer rock and the big gray rock. They put them in their box and carry it home. They show their mom and dad their new minerals. They ask them to help them learn more about rocks and minerals. They are happy and proud of their discovery. +Lily and Tom moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes with their things. Mom and Dad said they could unpack their boxes and put their things in their new rooms. + +Lily and Tom were excited. They opened their boxes and found their toys, clothes, books and pictures. They wanted to make their rooms look nice and cozy. + +Lily liked books a lot. She had a big bookshelf in her old room. She looked for her bookshelf in the new house, but she could not find it. She asked Mom, "Mom, where is my bookshelf?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Your bookshelf is in the garage. Dad and I will bring it to your room later. You can unpack your books and put them on the floor for now." + +Lily nodded and unpacked her books. She had many books with stories, animals, colors and numbers. She loved to read them and look at the pictures. She made a pile of books on the floor next to her bed. + +Tom liked cars and trucks. He had a small bookshelf in his old room. He looked for his bookshelf in the new house, but he could not find it. He asked Dad, "Dad, where is my bookshelf?" + +Dad smiled and said, "Your bookshelf is in the garage. Mom and I will bring it to your room later. You can unpack your cars and trucks and play with them on the floor for now." + +Tom nodded and unpacked his cars and trucks. He had many cars and trucks with different colors, shapes and sounds. He loved to zoom them and make noises. He made a line of cars and trucks on the floor next to his bed. + +Lily and Tom finished unpacking their boxes. They looked at their rooms and felt happy. They had their things and their beds. They felt safe and warm in their new house. They hugged Mom and Dad and said, "Thank you for our new rooms. We love them." Mom and Dad hugged them back and said, "You're welcome. We love you." +Ben and Mia liked to play with magnets. They had many magnets of different shapes and colors. They liked to stick them on the fridge, on the door, on the table. They liked to see how the magnets pulled or pushed each other. + +One day, they found a new magnet in their toy box. It was a ring magnet. It was shiny and silver. It looked very modern. Ben and Mia wondered what it could do. + +"Let's try it on the fridge," Ben said. + +"OK," Mia agreed. + +They ran to the kitchen and put the ring magnet on the fridge. It stuck very well. They tried to pull it off, but it was hard. + +"Wow, this is a strong magnet," Ben said. + +"Maybe it can stick to other things too," Mia said. + +They looked around the room and saw a phone on the counter. It was their mom's phone. It was also shiny and silver. It looked very modern too. + +"Let's try it on the phone," Mia said. + +"OK," Ben agreed. + +They took the ring magnet and put it on the phone. It stuck very well too. They tried to pull it off, but it was harder. + +"Wow, this is a very strong magnet," Mia said. + +But then, something strange happened. The phone started to make a loud noise. It was ringing. Ben and Mia were scared. They did not know what to do. + +"Mom, mom, help!" they shouted. + +Their mom came running from the living room. She saw the phone and the magnet. She looked angry. + +"Ben, Mia, what have you done?" she asked. + +She took the phone and the magnet. She tried to separate them, but it was very hard. She had to use a lot of force. She finally managed to pull them apart. + +She looked at the phone and saw that it was broken. The screen was cracked. The buttons were stuck. The sound was distorted. + +She looked at Ben and Mia and said, "This was a very bad idea. You should never put magnets on phones. Magnets can damage phones. Phones are not toys. They are important and expensive. You have to be careful and respectful with them. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Mia nodded. They felt sorry and ashamed. They did not mean to break the phone. They did not know that magnets could hurt phones. They just wanted to play and have fun. + +They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We will not do it again. We love you." + +Their mom sighed. She was still angry, but she also loved them. She said, "I love you too. But you have to be more responsible and sensible. You have to learn from your mistakes. And you have to help me fix the phone. Come on, let's go to the store and see what we can do." +Tom and Anna liked to play with blocks. They could build many things with blocks, like houses, towers, cars and animals. One day, they decided to build something new. + +"Let's build a freezer!" Tom said. "A freezer is a big box that makes things very cold. We can put ice cream and popsicles in it." + +"How do we build a freezer?" Anna asked. "We need a lot of blocks and a door." + +Tom and Anna started to stack blocks on the floor. They made a big square with blocks. Then they made another big square on top of it. They left a space for the door. They used more blocks to make the door. They put the door in the space. + +"Look, we built a freezer!" Tom said. "It is enormous!" + +They opened the door and went inside. They pretended that the blocks were ice cream and popsicles. They took some blocks and pretended to eat them. + +"Mmm, this is yummy!" Anna said. "This is the best freezer ever!" + +They played in the freezer for a long time. They had a lot of fun. They did not feel cold at all. They felt happy. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun. But they have to be careful. There is a big dog in the park. He is fierce. He barks and growls and chases people. He does not like to share. + +One day, Anna and Ben are playing with their kite. They throw it in the air and watch it fly. But the wind is strong. It blows the kite away. The kite lands on the other side of the park. Anna and Ben want to get it back. But the big dog is there. He sees the kite. He thinks it is his. He runs to the kite and grabs it with his teeth. + +Anna and Ben are scared. They do not want to lose their kite. They do not want to go near the big dog. They look for help. They see a man. He is wearing a hat and a badge. He is a park ranger. He is nice. He likes animals. He sees Anna and Ben. He sees the big dog. He knows what to do. + +He walks to the big dog. He talks to him softly. He gives him a treat. He pets him gently. He takes the kite from him. He is not angry. He is kind. He returns the kite to Anna and Ben. He smiles and says sorry. He says the big dog is not bad. He is just lonely. He needs a friend. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They have their kite back. They are not scared anymore. They thank the park ranger. They ask him if they can play with the big dog. He says yes. He says the big dog likes to play. He says his name is Max. He says he is looking for a home. + +Anna and Ben are excited. They love Max. They want to be his friends. They ask their mom and dad if they can adopt him. They say yes. They are happy too. They go to the park ranger. They fill out some papers. They take Max home. They give him a collar and a bed and a toy. They play with him every day. They are a family. Max is fierce. But he is also sweet. He is their dog. And they are his people. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. Sometimes they go into the water, but not too far. They hold hands and jump over the waves. + +One day, they see a big wave coming. It is bigger than the others. Tom is scared. He wants to go back to the sand. Lily is brave. She wants to stay in the water. She thinks the wave is fun. + +"Come on, Tom, let's jump over the wave!" Lily says. + +"No, Lily, let's go back! The wave is too big!" Tom says. + +They pull each other, but they cannot agree. The wave is getting closer. They have to decide. They separate their hands and go different ways. Tom runs to the sand. Lily stays in the water. + +The wave reaches Lily. It is not as big as it looked. It is gentle and soft. It lifts Lily up and down. Lily laughs and enjoys the ride. She feels the water on her skin and in her hair. She sees Tom on the sand. He looks sad and lonely. + +"Lily, Lily, come back!" Tom shouts. He misses his sister. He is sorry he left her. + +Lily hears Tom. She wants to go back to him. She waits for the wave to go away. Then she swims to the shore. She runs to Tom and hugs him. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I should have listened to you. The wave was not so fun without you." Lily says. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I should have stayed with you. The sand was not so fun without you." Tom says. + +They smile and forgive each other. They are happy to be together again. They go back to the water and play with the waves. They hold hands and jump over them. They are twins and they are friends. +Sara likes pink. She has a pink dress, a pink hat, and a pink bike. She also likes mint. She has a mint plant in her garden, and she likes to smell it and taste it. + +One day, Sara sees a big pink box in her living room. She runs to it and opens it. Inside, she finds a lot of mint candy. She is very happy. She takes one and puts it in her mouth. It is sweet and cool. + +"Wow, this is the best candy ever!" she says. + +She takes another one, and another one, and another one. She does not stop. She does not blink. She does not hear her mom calling her for lunch. + +Soon, the box is empty. Sara feels sick. Her tummy hurts. Her mouth burns. She wants to spit out the candy, but she can't. She starts to cry. + +Her mom comes and sees her. She is very angry and worried. + +"Sara, what have you done? You ate all the candy? Do you know how bad that is for you? You could get very sick! You are in big trouble, young lady!" she says. + +She picks up Sara and takes her to the bathroom. She makes her drink water and brush her teeth. She says she will call the doctor. + +Sara is very sorry. She wishes she did not eat all the candy. She wishes she listened to her mom. She wishes she did not like pink and mint so much. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the open field near their homes. They ran, jumped, and rolled in the grass. They saw many animals and flowers. + +One day, they found a big hill in the field. It was very high and steep. Lily wanted to climb it, but Ben was scared. He said, "It is too hard. We might fall. Let us go back." + +Lily said, "No, Ben. We can do it. It will be fun. I will help you. Come on, be brave." She encouraged him to follow her. She held his hand and started to climb. + +Ben was still scared, but he trusted Lily. He followed her up the hill. They climbed slowly and carefully. They stopped to rest and look around. They saw the field, the trees, the sky, and the sun. They felt happy and proud. + +They reached the top of the hill. They shouted, "We did it! We did it!" They hugged and smiled. They saw a big rainbow in the sky. It was beautiful and bright. They said, "Wow! Look at that! It is a gift for us!" + +They thanked the rainbow and the hill. They slid down the hill and ran back to the field. They played some more and then went home. They told their parents about their adventure. They said, "We climbed a big hill. We saw a rainbow. We had fun. We are brave." Their parents hugged them and said, "We are proud of you. You are brave. You are good friends." +Lily was a young girl who liked to draw. She had a notebook with many colors and shapes. She drew flowers, animals, stars and rainbows. She was happy when she drew. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and her notebook. She saw a boy who was playing with a ball. He looked at her notebook and said, "Can I see your drawings?" + +Lily said, "Yes, you can. I like to share." She showed him her notebook and smiled. + +The boy looked at her drawings and said, "These are bad. They are not real. You can't draw." He laughed and threw her notebook on the ground. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She picked up her notebook and said, "You are mean. You can't play with me. You can't play with my notebook. Go away." + +The boy said, "I don't care. Your notebook is stupid. I have a ball. I can play with anyone." He ran away with his ball. + +Lily wanted to quit drawing. She thought her drawings were bad. She thought no one liked them. She hugged her notebook and cried. + +Her mom saw her and came to her. She said, "What's wrong, Lily? Why are you crying?" + +Lily said, "A boy was mean to me. He said my drawings are bad. He threw my notebook on the ground. He made me feel bad." + +Her mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That boy was rude and wrong. Your drawings are not bad. They are beautiful. They are your own. You can draw anything you want. You have a gift. Don't quit drawing. Don't let anyone make you feel bad. You are a wonderful artist. I love you and I love your drawings." + +Lily felt better. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. I won't quit drawing. I will draw more. I will draw for you and for me and for anyone who likes my drawings." + +Her mom said, "That's great, Lily. I'm proud of you. Let's go home and have some cookies. You can show me your drawings and tell me their stories." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. Let's go." She held her mom's hand and her notebook. She was happy again. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man with a big shiny thing that made loud noises. He was playing jazz, he said. + +"What is jazz?" Lily asked. + +"It is a kind of music that makes you feel happy and free. You can play jazz with many different things, like this saxophone, or a piano, or a drum," the man said. + +He showed them how he blew into the saxophone and moved his fingers to make different sounds. Lily and Ben clapped and danced to the music. + +"Can we try?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. It is not easy to play jazz. You have to listen and improvise," the man said. + +He gave them the saxophone and helped them hold it. Lily tried to blow into it, but only made a squeaky noise. Ben tried to press the buttons, but they were too hard. They both laughed. + +"It is fun, but hard," Lily said. + +"Yes, it is. But you can learn if you practice and love jazz," the man said. + +He took back the saxophone and played a song for them. It was fast and smooth and had many colors. Lily and Ben wondered how he could do that. They liked jazz. + +They thanked the man and said goodbye. They ran back to their mom, who was waiting for them on a bench. She had a big orange balloon for them. + +"Look, mom, we learned about jazz today!" Lily said. + +"Wow, that sounds exciting. What is jazz?" mom asked. + +Lily and Ben tried to explain, but they could not find the right words. They decided to show her instead. They took the balloon and pretended it was a saxophone. They blew into it and pressed it and made funny noises. They smiled and danced and had fun. Mom smiled too. + +They were playing jazz. +Lily was a brown dog who liked to play with her toys. She had a ball, a bone, and a mirror. She liked to look at herself in the mirror and bark. She thought she was very pretty and smart. + +One day, Lily saw a new dog in the yard next door. He was also brown, but bigger and stronger than Lily. He had a shiny collar and a loud bark. Lily wanted to play with him, but he did not want to play with her. He said she was too small and silly. He said he only played with big and brave dogs. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She ran to her mirror and looked at herself. She saw a small and silly dog. She did not like what she saw. She refused to look at the mirror anymore. She pushed it away with her paw and broke it. She heard a loud crash and saw many pieces of glass on the floor. + +Lily was scared. She knew she had done something bad. She heard her owner coming. She hid under the bed and hoped he would not be mad at her. She wished she had not broken the mirror. She wished she had a friend to play with. She wished she was big and brave. +Lily liked to bake with her mom. They made cakes and pies and cookies. Lily liked to mix the flour and the eggs and the sugar. She liked to lick the spoon and the bowl.

Lily wanted to surprise him with a cake when he came home. She helped her mom put the cake in the oven and set the timer. + +But then, something went wrong. The oven made a loud noise and smoke came out. Lily and her mom ran out of the kitchen and called for help. They heard a siren and saw a big red truck. The firemen came and put out the fire. They were very brave and kind. + +Lily's dad was one of the firemen. He saw Lily and her mom and hugged them. He was happy that they were safe. He saw the burnt cake and smiled.

You are the best fireman in the world. And the most modest." +Anna and Ben love to play outside. They like to run, jump, and swing in the park. They see many things in nature. They see birds, flowers, and bugs. They think nature is lovely. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. But the sky is dark and gray. Mom says, "It looks like it will rain soon. We should go home." Anna and Ben do not want to go home. They want to play more. + +"Please, mom, can we stay a little longer?" Anna asks. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben says. + +Mom says, "Okay, but only for a few minutes. Then we have to go." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They run to the slide and slide down. They laugh and have fun. But then, they hear a loud boom. It is thunder. They see a bright flash. It is lightning. They are scared. + +"Mom, mom, help!" Anna and Ben cry. + +Mom runs to them and hugs them. She says, "Don't worry, we will be okay. Let's go home now." + +But it is too late. The rain starts to fall. It falls hard and fast. It is a storm. The rain gets them wet and cold. The wind blows and makes them shiver. The thunder and lightning make them cry. + +They try to go home, but the water is everywhere. It covers the road, the grass, and the park. It is a flood. They cannot walk or drive. They are stuck. + +They see the birds, the flowers, and the bugs. They are wet and sad too. They think nature is not lovely anymore. They think nature is mean and scary.

One day, they found a book of poems in their room. Lily opened the book and saw many words and pictures. She wanted to read them, but she did not know how. + +"Ben, look at this book. It has poems. Do you know what poems are?" she asked her brother. + +Ben looked at the book and shrugged. He did not care about poems. He wanted to play with his cars. + +"Poems are boring. They are just words that rhyme. I don't like them. Let's play with cars instead," he said. + +Lily felt sad. She liked poems. She thought they were fun and pretty. She wanted to learn more about them. + +"No, Ben. Poems are not boring. They are stories that make you feel happy or sad or angry or silly. They are like songs, but you don't need music. You just need your voice and your ears. I want to read them. Please, help me," she said. + +Ben was grumpy. He did not want to help Lily. He wanted to play with his cars. He did not believe that poems could make him feel anything. + +"Fine, Lily. I will help you. But only one poem. Then we play with cars. Deal?" he said. + +Lily nodded. She was happy. She picked a poem from the book. It had a picture of a cat and a mouse. She showed it to Ben. + +"Ben, look at this poem. It is about a cat and a mouse. The cat wants to catch the mouse, but the mouse is clever and escapes. Can you read it to me?" she said. + +Ben looked at the poem. He saw some words that he knew. He tried to read them to Lily. + +"The cat is big and black and fat. He likes to eat the mouse for a snack. He chases the mouse all over the house. But the mouse is small and gray and fast. He hides in a hole or under a mat. He tricks the cat with a cheese or a hat. He says to the cat, 'You can't catch me, you silly old rat.' And the cat is mad and sad and flat." + +Lily clapped her hands. She liked the poem. She thought it was funny and smart. She smiled at Ben. + +"Ben, that was a good poem. You read it very well. Thank you for helping me. Did you like it too?" she said. + +Ben was surprised. He did not expect to like the poem. He thought it was boring, but it was not. It was fun and easy. He felt happy and proud. He smiled at Lily. + +"Yes, Lily. I liked the poem too. It was fun and easy. Maybe poems are not so bad after all. Maybe we can read more of them. But first, let's play with cars. Deal?" he said. + +Lily nodded. She was happy. She hugged Ben. They put the book of poems on the shelf. They took their cars and played together. They believed that poems and cars could be friends. +Lily was a small girl who liked to draw. She had many crayons and papers to make pictures. She wanted to show her mom and dad how much she cared for them. She decided to draw a message for them. + +She took a big paper and wrote "I love you" with her red crayon. She also drew a heart and a smiley face. She was very proud of her message. She ran to the kitchen to find her mom and dad. + +"Mom, dad, look what I made for you!" she said, holding up her paper. + +Her mom and dad smiled and hugged her. They looked at her message and said, "Wow, Lily, this is so beautiful! Thank you for your message. We love you too, very much. You are such a sweet and caring girl." + +Lily felt happy and warm. She gave her mom and dad a big kiss. She said, "You are welcome. I like to make you happy. Can I put my message on the fridge?" + +Her mom and dad nodded and helped her stick her message on the fridge with a magnet. They said, "Of course you can. We will always see your message and remember how much you care for us." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yay! I love you, mom and dad. You are the best." + +The end. +Mia was going on a trip with her mom and dad. She was very excited to see new places and people. She had her own luggage, a small pink suitcase with wheels and stickers. She wanted to be independent and carry her luggage by herself. + +"Can I pull my luggage, Mommy?" she asked. + +"Of course, sweetie, but you have to stay close to us and follow the signs," Mommy said. + +Mia nodded and grabbed the handle of her suitcase. She felt proud and happy as she walked with her parents to the big airport. + +At the airport, there were many people and machines. Mia saw a big belt that moved the luggage to a hole. She wondered where the luggage went. + +"Mommy, where is our luggage going?" she asked. + +"It's going to the plane, sweetie. We have to accept a ticket from the lady and then we can go to the plane too," Mommy said. + +Mia watched as Mommy gave the lady their passports and got some tickets.

They also have some new ornaments that Mom bought at the store. They are shiny and pretty, and have pictures of animals and stars on them. + +Mom and Dad let Lily and Max choose where to hang the ornaments on the tree. Lily picks a new ornament that has a cat on it, and Max picks a new ornament that has a rocket on it. They find good spots for them on the tree, and then look for more ornaments to hang. They have fun sorting and hanging the ornaments, and making the tree look beautiful. + +When they are done, Mom and Dad turn on the lights on the tree, and Lily and Max clap and cheer. The tree sparkles and glows, and the ornaments shine and twinkle. Lily and Max hug Mom and Dad, and thank them for letting them help. They are proud of their work, and happy to see the tree. They can't wait for Christmas morning, when they will find more new things under the tree. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they decided to make a cake for their moms. They found some flour, sugar, eggs, and milk in the kitchen. They mixed them in a big bowl and poured them in a pan. Then they put the pan in the oven and waited for the cake to bake. + +While they were waiting, they saw a door in the wall that they had never noticed before. They were curious and wanted to see what was behind it. They opened the door and saw a dark and scary room. There were spiders, rats, and bats inside. They heard a loud growl and saw a big monster with sharp teeth and claws. They were very afraid and ran back to the kitchen. + +They slammed the door behind them and locked it. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had never opened the door. They learned that they should not go into places that they do not know. They should listen to their moms and stay safe. + +Soon, the oven beeped and the cake was ready. It smelled yummy and looked delicious. They took it out and decorated it with frosting and sprinkles. They were happy and proud of their cake. They cut two slices and gave them to their moms. Their moms hugged them and thanked them. They said they were good and brave children. They ate the cake together and enjoyed it. They learned that they should make nice things for their moms and share them. They should be kind and grateful. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big box of toys. They had balls, cars, dolls, and books. But their favorite toy was a big iron star. It was shiny and heavy. They liked to hold it and pretend it was magic. + +One day, they saw a new sign on the fence. It said "No trespassing. Danger. Keep out." Ben and Lily were curious. They wanted to see what was behind the fence. They took their iron star and climbed over the fence. They saw a big factory. It had smoke and noise and machines. They were scared, but they wanted to explore. + +They walked around the factory. They saw pipes and wires and buttons. They saw workers in helmets and gloves. They saw a big furnace. It was hot and red. Ben and Lily went closer. They saw something shiny inside the furnace. It looked like their iron star, but bigger and brighter. They wanted to touch it. + +They threw their iron star into the furnace. They hoped it would make their star glow too. But they made a big mistake. The iron star was not magic. It was metal. And metal melts in the furnace. The iron star melted and made a loud bang. It made sparks and flames. It made the furnace explode. + +The workers heard the explosion. They ran to the furnace. They saw Ben and Lily. They were dirty and scared, but not hurt. They were lucky. The workers were angry and worried. They asked Ben and Lily why they did that. Ben and Lily said they were sorry. They said they wanted to make their star glow. + +The workers were not happy. They said Ben and Lily were naughty and foolish. They said they could have caused a big fire. They said they had to pay for the damage. They said they had to give them their iron star. But Ben and Lily said no. They said their iron star was their favorite toy. They said they loved it. + +The workers saw how sad Ben and Lily were. They felt sorry for them. They remembered how they liked to play when they were little. They decided to be generous. They said Ben and Lily could keep their iron star. But they had to promise to never come back to the factory. And they had to promise to be careful with their toys. + +Ben and Lily were happy. They said thank you. They said they were sorry. They said they would keep their promise. They took their iron star and climbed over the fence. They went back to the garden. They hugged their iron star. It was still shiny and heavy. But it did not glow. And they did not mind. +Lily loved to write in her diary every day. She had a pink diary with a lock and a key. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams and her secrets. She did not want anyone to read her diary, because it was hers. + +One day, Lily came home from school and saw her brother Tom in her room. He had her diary in his hand and was reading it out loud. He was laughing and making fun of her. + +"Dear diary, today I ate a yummy cake at the party. It had chocolate and cream and sprinkles. I wish I could have another slice. I love cake so much. Cake is my best friend." Tom read in a silly voice. + +Lily felt angry and sad. She ran to Tom and tried to grab her diary. "Stop it! Give it back! That's mine!" she shouted. + +Tom was bigger and stronger than Lily. He held the diary high above his head. "No, this is too funny. Listen to this. Dear diary, today I saw Ben at the park. He has blue eyes and curly hair. He smiled at me and I felt shy. I think he likes me. I like him too. He is so cute. I want to kiss him." Tom read in a mocking voice. + +Lily felt embarrassed and hurt. She started to cry. "You're mean! You're a bad brother! Leave me alone!" she sobbed. + +Tom saw Lily crying and felt sorry. He realized he had been mean and rude. He regretted reading her diary and making fun of her. He lowered the diary and gave it back to Lily. "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just joking. I won't read your diary again. Please don't cry." he said. + +Lily took her diary and hugged it. She wiped her tears and looked at Tom. She was still angry, but she also felt sorry for him. He looked sad and ashamed. She decided to forgive him. "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But don't do it again. And don't tell anyone about Ben. He's my secret." she said. + +Tom nodded and smiled. He hugged Lily and said, "I won't, I promise. And you know what? Ben is lucky to have you. You're a good sister. And you have good taste in cake." he said. + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You're a good brother. Sometimes. And you have good taste in jokes. Sometimes." she said. + +They laughed and went downstairs to have some yummy cake together. They forgot about the diary and the secrets. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play with stickers. They had many stickers of different shapes and colors. They liked to attach them to their books, their toys, and their clothes. Sometimes they shared their stickers, and sometimes they wanted to keep them for themselves. + +One day, Ben found a new sticker in his drawer. It was a big, shiny star with a smiley face. He was very happy and wanted to show it to Lily. He ran to her house and knocked on the door. Lily opened the door and saw the sticker. She liked it very much and wanted to have it too. + +"Can I have your sticker, Ben?" she asked. + +"No, Lily, this is my sticker. I found it in my drawer. It is very special and I want to keep it," Ben said. + +"But I like it too, Ben. It is so pretty and happy. Please, can I have it?" Lily begged. + +"No, Lily, you have many stickers already. You cannot have my sticker. Go away," Ben said. + +Lily felt very sad and angry. She was jealous of Ben and his sticker. She thought he was not a good friend. She wanted to make him feel bad too. She had an idea. She ran to her room and got her scissors. She came back to Ben and said, "If I cannot have your sticker, you cannot have it either." She grabbed the sticker from Ben's hand and cut it in half with the scissors. + +Ben was shocked and hurt. He saw his sticker, his favorite sticker, torn in two pieces. He started to cry. He said, "Lily, why did you do that? That was very mean and bad. You ruined my sticker. You are not my friend anymore." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She saw Ben's tears and heard his words. She realized she had made a big mistake. She said, "Ben, I am sorry. I was jealous of your sticker and I wanted to have it. But I should not have cut it. That was very wrong and rude. I am sorry. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben looked at Lily and saw her face. She looked sad and sorry too. He remembered they were friends and they liked to play with stickers. He said, "Lily, I forgive you. But you should not be jealous of what I have. You have many stickers too. And you should not cut things that are not yours. That is not nice. We should share and be kind." + +Lily nodded and hugged Ben. She said, "You are right, Ben. I should not be jealous or mean. We should share and be kind. I am sorry. Can we still be friends?" + +Ben smiled and hugged Lily back. He said, "Yes, Lily, we can still be friends. And we can still play with stickers. Look, we can attach the two pieces of my sticker together and make a new sticker. It will have a spot in the middle, but it will still be shiny and happy. And it will remind us of our friendship." + +Lily and Ben attached the two pieces of the sticker together and put it on their book. They were happy and proud of their new sticker. They learned a lesson that day. They learned not to be jealous of what others have, but to be grateful for what they have. They learned not to hurt others, but to help them. They learned to share and be kind. And they learned that friendship is more valuable than any sticker. +Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a shelf for her books. She liked to make everything neat and tidy. + +But her brother Max did not like to organize. He liked to make a mess. He threw his toys everywhere, and sometimes he took Lily's toys too. He did not care if Lily got angry. + +One day, Lily found a crown in her box of dolls. It was shiny and pretty. She put it on her head and said, "I am the queen of the toys. I can tell everyone what to do." + +She went to Max and said, "You have to organize your toys. You have to put them in the right boxes. You have to listen to me, because I am the queen." + +Max did not like that. He said, "You are not the queen. You are just bossy. I do not have to listen to you. I can play how I want." + +He grabbed the crown from Lily's head and ran away. Lily chased him and tried to get it back. They both shouted and fought. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Max fighting over the crown. She said, "Stop it, both of you. You have to share and be nice. You are not the queen or the king. You are brother and sister." + +She took the crown and put it away. She said, "This is not a toy. This is a decoration. You can look at it, but you cannot play with it. Now, go and organize your toys together. And say sorry to each other." + +Lily and Max felt bad. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They went to organize their toys together. They learned to respect each other and have fun. +Tom and Lily are hungry. They want to eat some cheese. They go to the kitchen and open the refrigerator. They see a big block of cheese on the top shelf. + +"Wow, look at the cheese!" Tom says. "Let's get it!" + +Tom tries to reach the cheese, but he is too short. He jumps and stretches, but he cannot touch it. Lily has an idea. She finds a chair and pushes it to the refrigerator. She climbs on the chair and grabs the cheese. + +"Good job, Lily!" Tom says. "Now we can eat the cheese!" + +But Lily is not fast. She holds the cheese with both hands and walks down the chair very slow. She does not want to drop the cheese. Tom is impatient. He wants the cheese now. + +"Hurry up, Lily!" Tom says. "I am hungry!" + +Lily does not listen. She keeps walking slow. She is almost on the floor when she hears a loud noise. She turns around and sees Mom. + +"What are you doing, kids?" Mom asks. "Why do you have the cheese?" + +Tom and Lily are scared. They know they are in trouble. They drop the cheese and run to Mom. + +"Sorry, Mom!" Tom says. "We were hungry!" + +"Please, Mom!" Lily says. "Don't be mad!" + +Mom is not happy. She picks up the cheese and puts it back in the refrigerator. She looks at Tom and Lily. + +"Next time, you have to ask me before you take something from the refrigerator," Mom says. "And you have to be careful with the chair. You could have fallen and hurt yourself." + +Tom and Lily nod. They say sorry again. Mom hugs them and smiles. + +"It's okay, kids," Mom says. "I love you. But now you have to wait for lunch. Come, let's go to the living room and read a book." +Lily liked to play with her toy tank. It was big and green and had a long gun. She made it go zoom and boom and crash on the floor. She pretended it was in a war with her dolls and stuffed animals. She had a lot of fun with her tank. + +But one day, her tank stopped working. It did not go zoom or boom or crash anymore. It just sat there, silent and still. Lily was sad. She tried to push it and shake it and hit it, but nothing happened. She wondered what was wrong with her tank. + +She took her tank to her dad, who was good at fixing things. He looked at her tank and smiled. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. Your tank is not broken. It just needs some rest. It has a battery inside that gives it power, but sometimes it runs out of power. Then you have to charge it with a special cord. See, like this." He showed her a cord that he plugged into the wall and into her tank. + +Lily watched as her dad charged her tank. She saw a little light on the tank turn red, then orange, then green. Her dad said, "When the light is green, that means your tank is ready to play again. But you have to be careful not to use it too much, or it will run out of power again. You have to let it rest sometimes, just like you do." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She thanked her dad and hugged him. She took her tank and went back to her room. She was happy that her tank was not broken. She decided to play with it for a little while, but not too long. She wanted to keep it warm and happy. She said to her tank, "I love you, tank. You are my best friend. Let's play and rest together." And they did. +Sara and Tom are brother and sister. They live with their mom and dad in a white house.

They said they were proud of Sara and Tom for being good. They said they loved their family very much. They all played together and had fun. +Tom and Anna liked to play catch with their ball in the park. They were obedient children and always listened to their mom. She told them to be careful and not to run into the road. The road was busy and dangerous, with many cars and trucks and buses. + +One day, Tom and Anna were having fun with their ball. They threw it high and low, far and near. They laughed and shouted and ran. They did not see the big dog that was chasing a cat. The dog ran across the park and bumped into Tom.

He said they should always listen to their mom. + +Tom and Anna said they were sorry. They said they learned their lesson. They thanked the driver and hugged him. They hugged each other.

He is mean and rude. He does not say sorry for real. He does not care about her wallet. She wants to yell at him and hit him. But she remembers what mom and dad taught her.

You should help me repair my wallet." + +The boy looks surprised. He does not expect Jenny to say that. He feels a little guilty. He knows he did something wrong. He says, "Um, okay. I'm sorry. I guess. How can I help you repair your wallet?" + +Jenny thinks for a moment. She says, "You can use your stick to clean the dirt. And you can find some tape to stick the tear. And you can give me one of your stickers to cover the hole." + +The boy nods and does what Jenny says. He works hard and tries to make the wallet look better. He gives Jenny a shiny star sticker.

See, I have one, two, three, four, five, six toys. You have only five toys. I win!" + +Max says, "No, you don't win. You forgot to count this toy. It is mine. See, it has my name on it. Max. Now I have six toys too. We are the same." + +Lily says, "No, we are not the same. That toy is not yours. It is mine. See, it has my name on it too. Lily. You wrote your name on it with a marker. That is not fair. You cheated!" + +Max says, "No, I did not cheat. You gave me this toy as a gift. See, it has a bow on it. You said it was for me. You can't take it back. That is not nice!" + +Lily and Max start to argue. They pull the toy from each other. They are angry and sad. They forget to have fun. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a toy? You have so many toys to share and enjoy. You should be happy and kind to each other. You are friends, remember?" + +Lily and Max look at Mom. They look at the toy. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, friend. We don't want to fight. We want to play. Can we play together?" + +Mom says, "Of course you can play together. That is what friends do. But first, you have to say sorry to the toy too. You hurt its feelings. It is a nice toy. It wants to be loved by both of you." + +Lily and Max say, "We are sorry, toy. We love you. You are a nice toy. You can be with both of us. We can take turns. We can play with you and with our other toys. We can have fun." + +Mom says, "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now, give each other a hug and a smile. And then, let's go to the kitchen. I have a surprise for you. I made some cookies for you. They are yummy. Do you want some?" + +Lily and Max say, "Yes, please! We love cookies. Thank you, Mom. You are the best. Come on, friend. Let's go. We are hungry." + +Lily and Max hug and smile. They hold the toy and their hands. They follow Mom to the kitchen. They are happy and friendly. They are not competitive anymore. +Sam and Lily were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They liked to look at the water and the birds and the other boats. One day, the boat stopped at a port. The port was a place where many boats came and went. There were also many people and things there. + +"Can we go and see the port, mom?" Sam asked. + +"Yes, but you have to stay close to us and be careful," mom said. + +Sam and Lily followed their mom and dad off the boat. They saw many new and interesting things. They saw big cranes that lifted boxes and cars. They saw small boats that carried people and fish. They saw shops that sold food and toys. They saw flags and signs of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, Lily, what is that?" Sam pointed at a shiny object on the ground. + +Lily bent down and picked it up. It was a coin with a picture of a man and some words on it. + +"Maybe it is money," Lily said. + +"Let me see," Sam said. He took the coin from Lily and examined it. He looked at the picture and the words. He tried to read them, but they were too hard. + +"I don't know what it says," Sam said. + +"Maybe we can ask someone," Lily said. + +They looked around and saw a man wearing a hat and a badge. He looked friendly and kind. + +"Excuse me, sir, can you help us?" Lily asked. + +The man smiled and came closer. + +"Sure, what do you need?" he asked. + +"We found this coin and we don't know what it is," Sam said. He showed the coin to the man. + +The man looked at the coin and nodded. + +"This is a great coin," he said. "It is from another country. It is very old and rare. You are very lucky to find it." + +"Wow, really?" Sam and Lily said. + +"Yes, really. You can keep it as a souvenir of your visit to the port. Or you can trade it for something else," the man said. + +"What can we trade it for?" Sam asked. + +"Well, there are many things you can choose from. You can buy some candy, or a toy, or a book, or a hat, or anything you like," the man said. + +Sam and Lily looked at each other. They thought hard. They liked candy, and toys, and books, and hats. But they also liked the coin. It was shiny and special and great. + +They decided to keep the coin. They thanked the man and put the coin in their pocket. They held hands and walked back to their mom and dad. They were happy and excited. They had a great day at the port. +Tim and Sue like to play in the garden. They have a small house made of wood and a big tree with a swing. One day, they find a shiny thing under the tree. It is a knife. They do not know what it is for. + +"Look, Sue, a shiny thing!" Tim says. He picks up the knife and holds it in his hand. He feels the edge. It is sharp. He cuts a leaf with it. "Wow, this is fun!" he says. + +"Let me try, Tim!" Sue says. She wants to hold the knife too. She grabs it from Tim. But she is not careful. She cuts her finger with it. She cries. "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" she says. + +Tim is scared. He sees blood on Sue's finger. He does not like blood. He drops the knife. He runs to the house. He calls for Mom. "Mom, Mom, Sue is hurt!" he says. + +Mom comes out of the house. She sees Sue crying and holding her finger. She sees the knife on the ground. She is angry. She picks up the knife and puts it in her pocket. She takes Sue to the house. She washes her finger and puts a band-aid on it. She hugs her and says, "It's okay, Sue. It will get better soon. But you should never play with knives. They are dangerous. They can hurt you and others. Do you understand?" + +Sue nods. She is sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know. It was a shiny thing. It was interesting." + +Mom says, "I know, Sue. But some things are not for children. They are for grown-ups. You have to be careful and listen to me. I love you, Sue." + +Sue says, "I love you too, Mom." + +Mom says, "Now, where did you find this knife? We have to return it to its owner. It does not belong to us." + +Tim says, "We found it under the tree, Mom. Maybe it fell from the sky." + +Mom says, "Maybe. Or maybe someone left it there by mistake. We have to find out. Come on, let's go and ask the neighbors. Maybe they know who it belongs to." + +Tim and Sue follow Mom. They leave the garden. They go to the neighbors. They hope they can return the knife and say sorry. They hope they can find out why it is shiny and sharp. They hope they can learn something interesting. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play golf in the park. Golf is a game with a stick and a ball. You hit the ball with the stick and try to make it go in a hole. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to the park with their sticks and balls. They see a big hill with a smooth grass. They think it is a good place to play golf. + +"Let's play golf here!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They take turns to hit the ball with the stick. They try to make the ball go up the hill and in a hole. It is hard, but it is fun. + +But then, they run out of balls. They look around, but they cannot find any more balls. + +"Oh no!" Lily says. "We have no more balls. We cannot play golf anymore." + +"What can we do?" Ben says. + +They are sad. They do not want to stop playing golf. + +Then, they see a man walking by. He has a big bag with many balls. He is also playing golf. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lily says. "Can you supply us with some balls? We want to play golf, but we have no more balls." + +The man smiles. He is nice. He likes to see children playing golf. + +"Sure, I can supply you with some balls," he says. "Here, take some from my bag. But be careful, do not lose them." + +"Thank you, sir!" Lily and Ben say. + +They are happy. They take some balls from the man's bag. They go back to the hill and play golf again. + +They have a lot of fun. They hit the ball with the stick and try to make it go in the hole. They say thank you to the man again when they are done. + +They learn a new word: supply. They also learn to share and to be polite. They are good friends. They like to play golf. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play hockey in the yard. They have sticks and a ball. They hit the ball with the sticks and try to score goals. + +One day, their mom calls them from the house. "Boys, come inside for lunch!" she says. Ben and Sam do not want to stop playing. They are having fun. + +"Can we play a little more, mom?" Ben asks. He is the older brother. He is thoughtful. He knows mom is busy and works hard. + +Mom answers, "No, boys, you need to eat. It is cold outside. You can play again after lunch." + +Sam is the younger brother. He is not thoughtful. He is stubborn. He does not like mom's answer. He says, "No, mom, we want to play now. Hockey is fun. Lunch is not." + +Mom is not happy with Sam's answer. She says, "Sam, that is rude. You need to listen to mom. Come inside now or you will be in trouble." + +Ben tries to help Sam. He says, "Sam, come on. Mom is right. We can play later. Let's go eat. Maybe we can have cookies for dessert." + +Sam thinks for a moment. He likes cookies. He decides to listen to Ben. He says, "Okay, Ben. Let's go eat. But we will play more hockey after lunch, right?" + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, Sam. We will play more hockey after lunch. But we need to be nice to mom. She loves us and takes care of us." + +Sam agrees. He says, "Yes, Ben. We need to be nice to mom. She loves us and takes care of us." + +They put their sticks and ball away. They run to the house. They hug mom and say, "We are sorry, mom. We love you. Thank you for lunch." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too, boys. You are good brothers. Now, let's eat. And yes, you can have cookies for dessert." +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they saw a poor thing on the grass. It was a bird. It had a broken wing. It could not fly. It looked sad and scared. + +"Oh no!" said Lila. "The poor thing! We have to help it!" + +"Maybe we can take it home and rest it," said Ben. "Then it will get better." + +They picked up the bird gently and put it in a box. They ran to their house. They showed the bird to their mom. + +"Mom, look!" said Lila. "We found a poor thing in the park. It has a broken wing. Can we keep it and rest it?" + +Mom looked at the bird. She smiled. "You are very kind, Lila and Ben. But we can't keep the bird. It belongs to the wild. We have to take it to the vet. The vet will fix its wing and let it go." + +"OK, mom," said Lila and Ben. "But can we go with you to the vet? We want to see the bird fly again." + +"Of course, my loves," said mom. "Let's go now. The bird needs our help." + +They got in the car and drove to the vet. They hoped the bird would be OK. They wanted to see it happy and free. +Ben is a big dog who lives with his family. He loves to play, eat and sleep. He is a spoiled dog, because his family gives him many things. They provide him with food, water, toys and a soft bed. Ben is happy and grateful. + +One day, Ben's family goes out for a long time. They tell him to be a good dog and stay at home. They leave him a big bone to chew on. Ben is excited and runs to the bone. He bites it and makes loud noises. He thinks it is the best bone ever. + +But then, he hears a knock on the door. He stops chewing and goes to see who it is. He sees a small dog outside. The small dog is dirty and thin. He looks sad and hungry. He says to Ben, "Hello, can I have some of your bone? I have not eaten for a long time." + +Ben feels sorry for the small dog, but he also likes his bone very much. He does not want to share it. He says to the small dog, "No, this is my bone. Go away and find your own bone." He growls and shows his teeth. + +The small dog is scared and sad. He says to Ben, "Please, just a little bit. I am very hungry and cold. You have so much and I have nothing." He begs and whines. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He remembers how his family provides him with many things. He remembers how they love him and care for him. He realizes that he is a spoiled dog, and that the small dog needs his help. He feels ashamed and sorry. He says to the small dog, "I am sorry, I was mean to you. You can have some of my bone. Come in and warm up. Maybe we can be friends." + +The small dog is happy and grateful. He says to Ben, "Thank you, you are very kind and generous. You are a good dog." He comes in and shares the bone with Ben. They chew and talk and play. They become friends. + +Ben learns a lesson. He learns that sharing is better than being selfish. He learns that being spoiled is not good. He learns that being kind and helpful is good. He is happy and grateful. +Lily and Ben were brother and sister. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they found a big box in the yard. They decided to make it their shelter. They put some blankets and pillows inside. They also drew some pictures on the box with crayons. + +But their dog, Spot, did not like the box. He wanted to play with Lily and Ben. He barked and scratched at the box. He made it filthy with his paws. He tore some of the blankets and pillows. He also ate some of the crayons. + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They told Spot to go away. They tried to fix their shelter. But it was too hard. They needed some help. They asked their mom to support them. Their mom was kind and smart. She gave them some tape and scissors. She helped them cut and stick the box. She also gave them some new blankets and pillows. She told them to share their shelter with Spot. She said he was lonely and wanted to be their friend. + +Lily and Ben listened to their mom. They made some space for Spot in their shelter. They also gave him some toys and treats. They invited him to join their play. Spot was happy and wagged his tail. He licked their faces and cuddled with them. He stopped barking and scratching. He was a good dog. + +Lily and Ben were happy too. They had a nice shelter and a nice dog. They thanked their mom for her support. They hugged and kissed her. They also hugged and kissed Spot. They had a lot of fun in their shelter. They were a happy family. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with red fruit. They want to eat the fruit. + +"Can we have some fruit?" Tom asks Anna. + +"Yes, but we have to ask first," Anna says. She sees a man near the tree. He has a basket and a ladder. He is picking the fruit. + +"Hello, sir," Anna says. "Can we have some fruit, please?" + +The man smiles. He sees Tom and Anna. They are polite and friendly. + +"Sure, you can have some fruit," the man says. "But be careful, they are not easy to eat. They have seeds and skin. You have to spit out the seeds and peel off the skin." + +He gives Tom and Anna two fruit. They are big and heavy. + +"Thank you, sir," Tom and Anna say. They are happy and excited. + +They sit on the grass and try to eat the fruit. They bite and chew and spit and peel. They make a mess. But they do not mind. The fruit is sweet and juicy. They like the fruit. + +They finish the fruit and wipe their mouths. They stand up and wave to the man. + +"Thank you for the fruit, sir," Tom and Anna say again. "They are very good." + +"You are welcome, Tom and Anna," the man says. "I am glad you enjoyed them. Have a nice day." + +Tom and Anna run back to the park. They play and laugh. They are full and happy. They are good friends. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big, furry animal with a long neck. It was eating leaves from a tall tree. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "What is it?" + +"I think it's a giraffe," Max said. "It can stretch its neck very high." + +Lily and Max wanted to see the giraffe better. They ran closer to the fence. The giraffe saw them and lowered its head. + +"Hello, giraffe," Lily said. "You are so pretty. Can we pet you?" + +The giraffe nodded and let Lily and Max touch its soft fur. It licked their hands with its long tongue. + +"Tickles!" Max giggled. "You are so friendly, giraffe." + +The giraffe smiled and stretched its neck again. It reached for a juicy leaf and ate it. + +"Yum, yum," Lily said. "Do you like leaves, giraffe?" + +The giraffe nodded and made a happy sound. It shared some leaves with Lily and Max. + +"Thank you, giraffe," Lily and Max said. "You are so nice. We like you." + +The giraffe nodded and waved its tail. It liked Lily and Max too. They were so cute. +Lily liked to play with her dad's microscope. She wanted to see the tiny things that he looked at. One day, when dad was not home, she took the microscope from his desk and put it on the floor. She turned the knob and looked through the eye-piece. + +"Wow!" she said. "I can see a bug! It has many legs and a long tail. It is moving very fast!" + +She tried to catch the bug with her hand, but it was too small. She got an idea. She took a glass jar and put it over the microscope. She hoped the bug would go inside the jar. + +She waited for a while, but the bug did not move. She got bored. She picked up the jar and shook it. She wanted to make the bug move. + +"Stop!" a voice said. "You are hurting me!" + +Lily was surprised. She looked at the jar and saw the bug talking to her. It had a tiny mouth and eyes. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. + +"I am a microbe," the bug said. "I live in the microscope. You are not supposed to shake me. It makes me dizzy and sick." + +"I am sorry," Lily said. "I did not know you could talk. I just wanted to play with you." + +"Well, you can't play with me like that," the microbe said. "You are too big and rough. You are a tall girl. I am a small microbe. We are very different." + +"Can we be friends?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe," the microbe said. "But you have to be gentle and careful. And you have to put me back in the microscope. That is my home." + +"OK," Lily said. "I will do that. But can I look at you sometimes?" + +"Sure," the microbe said. "But only with your dad's permission. He knows how to use the microscope. He is a smart man." + +"OK," Lily said. "Thank you for talking to me. You are a nice microbe." + +"You are welcome," the microbe said. "You are a curious girl." + +Lily smiled. She put the jar back on the microscope and lifted the lid. She saw the microbe wave at her. She waved back. She put the microscope back on the desk and ran to her room. She wanted to tell her dad about her new friend. +Tommy likes to play with his toy fly. He makes it zoom and spin in the air. He pretends it is a real fly that can go anywhere. He likes to make it land on his nose and tickle him. + +One day, Tommy's big sister Lily takes his toy fly. She says it is hers now and she will not give it back. She runs away with it and Tommy chases her. He is angry and sad. He wants his toy fly back. + +Lily goes to her room and locks the door. She plays with the toy fly on her bed. She makes it go very fast and very high. She laughs and thinks she is clever. But then, she makes a mistake. She throws the toy fly too hard and it hits the wall. It breaks into pieces and falls on the floor. Lily is shocked and scared. She knows Tommy will be mad. + +She hears Tommy knock on the door. He says, "Lily, give me back my toy fly. It is mine. You are mean." Lily does not know what to do. She feels sorry for Tommy and for the toy fly. She opens the door and says, "Tommy, I am sorry. I broke your toy fly. It was an accident. Please don't be mad at me." + +Tommy sees the broken toy fly on the floor. He feels very sad. He says, "Lily, why did you do that? You ruined my toy fly. It was my favorite. How can you fix it?" Lily says, "I don't know, Tommy. Maybe we can glue it back together. Maybe we can find a new one. Maybe we can make a new one. Please forgive me, Tommy. I love you." + +Tommy looks at Lily. He sees that she is sorry. He remembers that she is his sister and he loves her too. He says, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. I love you too. But I still miss my toy fly. Can we try to heal it?" Lily says, "Yes, Tommy. Let's try to heal it. Maybe it will fly again. Maybe it will make us happy again." They hug and smile. They pick up the pieces of the toy fly and go to find some glue. They hope they can heal it and make it fly again. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big man with a red shirt. The shirt had many words on it. Tom and Lily could not read the words. + +"Hello, big man," Tom said. "We like your shirt. What does it say?" + +The big man looked at Tom and Lily. He did not smile. He did not say hello. He was angry. He said, "My shirt says that I hate everyone. I hate you too. Go away!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They wanted to run away. But the big man did not let them. He grabbed their arms. He said, "You will come with me. You will march with me. We will show everyone how crazy we are." + +Tom and Lily cried. They did not want to march with the big man. They did not want to be crazy. They wanted to go home. They wanted their mom and dad. But the big man did not care. He dragged them along the street. He shouted and waved his arms. He scared many people. + +No one helped Tom and Lily. No one stopped the big man. Tom and Lily marched with the big man. They did not know where they were going. They did not know what would happen. They were very sad. They wished they never saw the big man with the red shirt. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Ben brings a new toy to Mia's house. It is a microscope. Ben says, "Look, Mia, this is a microscope. It can make small things big. Do you want to try?" + +Mia nods and smiles. She likes to see new things. Ben puts a slide with a flower on the microscope. He turns a knob and the flower becomes bigger. Mia looks through the eye-piece and says, "Wow, Ben, the flower is so pretty. It has many colors and shapes. Can I see more?" + +Ben nods and smiles. He puts another slide with a bug on the microscope. He turns another knob and the bug becomes bigger. Mia looks through the eye-piece and says, "Eek, Ben, the bug is so ugly. It has many legs and eyes. It is scary. I don't like it." + +Ben laughs and says, "Don't be scared, Mia, it is just a toy bug. It can't hurt you. It is interesting to see how different things are. Do you want to see something else?" + +Mia nods and says, "Yes, Ben, but something nice, not scary." Ben puts another slide with a candy on the microscope. He turns the knob and the candy becomes bigger. Mia looks through the eye-piece and says, "Mmm, Ben, the candy is so sweet. It has many crystals and colors. It looks yummy. Can I have some?" + +Ben laughs and says, "Sorry, Mia, you can't eat the candy. It is too small. But I have a real candy for you. Here, take one. It is sweet and yummy. We can share." + +Mia takes the candy and says, "Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend. I like your microscope. It is a fun toy. We can see many things with it. But I like candy more." + +Ben and Mia eat the candy and laugh. They are happy. They like to play with the microscope and with each other. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big cable on the ground. It was black and thick. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a snake," Tom said. + +They walked closer to the cable. They wanted to touch it. But then they heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, kids, get away from there! That cable is dangerous. It has electricity inside," the voice said. + +They looked up and saw a man. He was wearing a yellow hat and a blue shirt. He had a tool in his hand. He was working on a pole. + +"Sorry, mister," Tom said. + +"We didn't know," Lily said. + +The man smiled. He was not angry. He was nice. + +"It's okay. I'm glad you are safe. My name is Ben. I'm an electrician. I fix the wires that make the lights work," he said. + +He showed them his tool. It was a plier. He explained how he used it to cut and connect the wires. + +Tom and Lily were curious. They asked him many questions. He answered them patiently. He taught them some words. They learned about volts, amps and ohms. + +They liked Ben. He was smart and friendly. They wanted to be his friends. + +"Can we meet you again?" Tom asked. + +"Sure. I work here every week. You can come and say hello. But remember, always stay away from the cables. They can hurt you," Ben said. + +He gave them each a sticker. It had a picture of a light bulb and a smiley face. It said "Be bright, be safe". + +Tom and Lily were happy. They thanked Ben and waved goodbye. They ran back to their parents. They showed them their stickers. They told them about Ben and the cable. + +Their parents were proud. They praised them for being careful and polite. They said they could come back to the park and meet Ben again. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They had a fun day. They learned something new. They made a new friend. They were not embarrassed. They were brave. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with thick branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Can we go up there?" Sam asked Lily. + +"Yes, let's go!" Lily said. They ran to the tree and started to climb. + +They reached a high branch and looked around. They saw birds and clouds and a bright sun. They felt happy and free. + +"Look, Sam, I see an angel!" Lily said. She pointed to a white shape in the sky. + +"Where? Where?" Sam said. He tried to see the angel, but he leaned too far and lost his balance. He fell from the branch and hit the ground. + +Lily screamed and climbed down. She ran to Sam and saw blood and dirt on his face. He was not moving or talking. + +"Sam, Sam, wake up!" Lily cried. She shook him and hugged him, but he did not answer. + +A man and a woman heard Lily's scream and came to help. They saw Sam and called for help. They tried to comfort Lily, but she was too sad and scared. + +"Is he going to be okay?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, sweetie, I don't know," the woman said. + +They waited for the ambulance to come, but it was too late. Sam was gone. He had rotted inside and could not live anymore. + +Lily never saw the angel again. She never played in the park again. She never smiled again. +Tom and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with pots and pans. They also liked to wash the dishes in the sink with soap and water. + +"Look, I made a cake!" Tom said, holding up a plate with some bread and jam. "Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Mia said, smiling. She took a bite and said, "Mmm, yummy!" + +Tom was happy. He liked to share with his sister. He wanted to make her something else. He looked around and saw a can of beans. He thought beans were useful. They could make soup or salad or pie. + +He opened the can with a can opener and poured the beans into a pot. He added some water and salt and stirred with a spoon. He put the pot on the stove and turned on the fire. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Mia asked, curious. + +"I'm making bean soup!" Tom said, proud. "Do you want some?" + +"No, thank you!" Mia said, making a face. She did not like beans. She thought they were yucky. + +Tom did not care. He thought his soup was good. He waited for it to boil. He did not know he had to watch the pot. He went to get some bowls and spoons. + +But the pot was too full. The soup bubbled and spilled over. It made a mess on the stove and the floor. It also made a loud noise. + +Tom and Mia heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. They saw the soup everywhere. They were scared. They thought they were in trouble. + +They started to cry. They did not know what to do. + +Mom heard the noise and the crying. She came to the kitchen. She saw the soup everywhere. She was not happy. She was angry. + +"Tom, Mia, what did you do?" Mom asked, stern. + +"We were playing chefs!" Tom said, sobbing. "I made bean soup!" + +"But you made a big mess!" Mom said, frowning. "You should not play with the stove and the fire. It is dangerous. You could get hurt. And you wasted the beans. They are not for playing. They are for eating." + +"We're sorry, Mom!" Mia said, sniffling. "We did not mean to make a mess. We did not know the soup would spill." + +Mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was glad they were not hurt. She hugged them and said, "It's okay. I know you were trying to have fun. But you have to be careful and listen to the rules. The kitchen is not a playground. The stove and the fire are not toys. The beans are not useful for making soup. They are useful for making other things." + +"Like what?" Tom asked, curious. + +"Like bean burgers or bean dip or bean brownies!" Mom said, smiling. "Do you want to help me make some?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Mia said, smiling too. + +They dried their tears and helped Mom clean up the mess. Then they helped her make some bean burgers and bean dip and bean brownies. They learned how to use the beans in a useful way. They also learned how to use the kitchen in a safe way. They had fun and they ate well. They did not cry anymore. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in the kitchen. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben looks for a good place to hide. He sees the fridge and opens it. He sees a big bottle of milk and thinks it is a good hiding spot. He climbs into the fridge and closes the door behind him. He hopes Anna will not find him. + +Anna counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks around the kitchen and tries to find Ben. She does not see him under the table, behind the curtains, or in the cabinets. She wonders where he is. She hears a small noise from the fridge. She walks to the fridge and opens it. She sees Ben sitting in the fridge, holding the bottle of milk. She laughs and says, "I found you, Ben! You are hiding in the fridge with the milk!" + +Ben feels embarrassed. He did not think Anna would find him so easily. He also feels cold and wet. The milk has spilled on his clothes and hair. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I thought it was a good hiding spot. But it was not. It was a bad hiding spot. And now I'm cold and wet and sticky." + +Anna says, "It's okay, Ben. Don't be embarrassed. It was a funny hiding spot. But not a smart one. Come on, let's get you out of the fridge and clean you up. And then we can play another game. Maybe you can be the seeker and I can be the hider. And I will not hide in the fridge with the milk." +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a red ball and a blue bike. They share and have fun. + +One day, Ben's mom says, "We have to leave. We are moving to the west. It is very far from here." Ben is sad. He does not want to leave Mia and the park. He says, "Mom, can we stay? I like it here. Mia is my friend." + +Ben's mom hugs him. She says, "I know, Ben. It is hard to leave. But we have to go. We will find a new park and new friends in the west. You can call Mia and write to her. She will always be your friend." + +Ben and Mia say goodbye. They hug and cry. They give each other their toys. Ben gives Mia his red ball. Mia gives Ben her blue bike. They say, "We will miss you. We will remember you. We will be friends forever." + +Ben and Mia wave as Ben's mom drives away.

It means we are happy." +Lily and Ben like to cook with Mom. They have a big book with many pages of recipes. Mom lets them choose what to cook today. + +Lily picks a page with a picture of a cake. She says, "I want to cook a cake, Mom. It looks yummy." + +Ben picks a page with a picture of a pizza. He says, "I want to cook a pizza, Mom. It looks cheesy." + +Mom smiles and says, "We can cook both, but we need to go to the store first. We need some eggs, flour, sugar, cheese, and tomatoes. Can you help me make a list?" + +Lily and Ben nod and get a paper and a crayon. They write down the words Mom says. They are good at writing. Mom says they are reliable helpers. + +They go to the store and buy the things they need. Then they go back home and start to cook. Lily and Ben help Mom measure, mix, pour, and spread. They have fun and make a mess. Mom puts the cake and the pizza in the oven. They wait and smell the good food. + +Soon, the cake and the pizza are ready. They look like the pictures in the book. Lily and Ben are proud of their cooking. They say, "We did it, Mom. We cooked a cake and a pizza." + +Mom hugs them and says, "You did a great job, Lily and Ben. You are wonderful cooks. Let's eat and enjoy our food." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the park with their mom. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a train. The train is their favorite. It goes around the park and makes a loud noise. + +One day, mom says they can go to the park after lunch. Anna and Ben are very happy. They eat their sandwiches and drink their juice. Then they put on their hats and shoes. They are ready to go. + +At the park, they see the train. It is red and shiny. It has many seats and windows. They run to the train station. They see a man with a hat and a whistle. He is the train driver. + +"Hello, little ones," he says. "Do you want to ride the train?" + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben say together. They are very enthusiastic. + +"OK, then. You need a ticket to ride the train. Do you have a ticket?" the train driver asks. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They do not have a ticket. They do not know what a ticket is. + +"Mom, what is a ticket?" Anna asks. + +"A ticket is a small paper that you give to the train driver. It shows that you can ride the train. It costs some money," mom explains. + +"Oh, I see. Can we have a ticket, mom?" Ben requests. + +"Sure, sweetie. I have some money in my purse. Let me buy you a ticket," mom says. + +She goes to the ticket booth and gives some money to the lady. The lady gives her two tickets. Mom gives one ticket to Anna and one ticket to Ben. + +"Here you go, kids. This is your ticket. Hold it in your hand and give it to the train driver," mom says. + +"Thank you, mom!" Anna and Ben say. They hold their tickets and go to the train. They give their tickets to the train driver. He smiles and takes them. + +"Welcome aboard, kids. Find a seat and enjoy the ride," he says. + +Anna and Ben find a seat near the window. They wave to mom. Mom waves back. The train driver blows his whistle and the train starts to move.

"Let us try." + +Tim and Sam push the rock. They push hard. But the rock does not move. It is too thick and heavy. Tim and Sam are sad. They cannot go on the slide. + +Then they see a girl. The girl is Lily. Lily is nice. She likes to help. She sees Tim and Sam. She sees the rock on the slide. + +"Hello, Tim and Sam," Lily says. "Do you need help?" + +"Yes, please," Tim and Sam say. "There is a big rock on the slide. We cannot move it. We cannot go on the slide." + +Lily has an idea. She has a rope. The rope is long and strong. She ties the rope to the rock. She pulls the rope. She pulls hard. The rock moves. It slides off the slide. The slide is clear. + +"Yay, Lily!" Tim and Sam say. "You are smart and kind. You helped us. Thank you." + +"You are welcome," Lily says. "Now we can all go on the slide. Let us have fun." + +Tim, Sam and Lily go on the slide. They slide down. They laugh. They are happy. They are friends. + +The moral of the story is: Helping others is good. It makes everyone happy. Friends work together. Friends have fun. +Ben and Lily liked to help Mom in the kitchen. They wanted to be good cooks like her. Mom let them stir the soup, cut the bread, and set the table. She said they were her little helpers. + +When the soup was ready, Mom told Ben and Lily to serve it to Dad and Sam, their big brother. Ben took a big pot and a ladle.

They thought it was fun to push the buttons and hear the water. They wanted to see how it worked. Mom said they could watch, but they had to be careful. + +They watched the dishwasher for a while.

He had learned the word from their mom. + +"Can we pick it?" Lily asked. + +"No, we have to wait until it is ready," Max said. He wanted to show the cauliflower to their mom and dad. + +But Lily was curious and impatient. She pulled the cauliflower out of the ground. It was heavy and hard. + +"Look, I have it!" Lily said. She ran to the house with the cauliflower. + +Max was angry and sad. He chased after Lily. He wanted to put the cauliflower back in the ground. + +"Stop, Lily, stop!" Max shouted. "You are not supposed to do that!" + +But Lily was too fast. She reached the house before Max. She showed the cauliflower to their mom and dad. + +"Look what I found in the garden!" Lily said. + +Mom and dad looked at the cauliflower. They looked at Lily. They looked at Max. + +They were not happy. + +"Lily, you should not have picked the cauliflower," mom said. "It was not ready yet. You have to be patient and respectful of nature." + +"Lily, you should not have run away from me," Max said. "I wanted to show the cauliflower to mom and dad too. You have to be fair and share with your brother." + +Lily felt sorry. She realized she had made a mistake. She hugged Max and gave him the cauliflower. + +"I am sorry, Max," Lily said. "You can show the cauliflower to mom and dad. I will wait for the next one to grow." + +Max smiled and hugged Lily back. He showed the cauliflower to mom and dad. They praised him for being smart and kind. + +Lily and Max learned a lesson. They learned to be patient, respectful, fair and share.

They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big peach tree. It had many ripe peaches. They wanted to pick some. + +"Let's get a peach, Tom," Lila said. + +"OK, Lila, but how?" Tom asked. + +They looked around. They saw a stool. They dragged it to the tree. They put it under a branch. Lila climbed on the stool. She reached for a peach. But it was too high. + +"Step on my shoulders, Lila," Tom said. + +"Are you sure, Tom?" Lila asked. + +"Yes, Lila, I'm strong," Tom said. + +Lila stepped on Tom's shoulders. She was careful not to hurt him. She grabbed a peach. It was soft and juicy. She smiled. + +"I got one, Tom!" Lila said. + +"Good, Lila, now give me one," Tom said. + +Lila threw a peach to Tom. He caught it. They got off the stool. They sat on the grass. They bit into their peaches. They were sweet and yummy.

They saw a big statue of a man with a spear. The spear was shiny and long. + +"Look, a spear!" Ben said. "I want to touch it." + +"No, Ben, don't touch it!" Lila said. "It is not for us. It is for the statue." + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the statue and reached for the spear. He touched it with his hand. + +Suddenly, a loud voice shouted. "Hey, you! Get away from my spear!" + +Lila and Ben looked up. The statue was angry. It was not a statue. It was a real man. He was dressed like a soldier. He had a helmet and a shield. + +"Who are you?" the man asked. "Why are you touching my spear?" + +Lila and Ben were scared. They did not know who the man was. They did not know why he had a spear. + +"We are sorry, sir," Lila said. "We were just playing. We did not mean to touch your spear." + +The man looked at them. He saw that they were just children. He saw that they were sorry. + +He sighed. He put down his spear. He smiled. + +"It's okay, kids," he said. "I am not angry. I am just a reenactor. I pretend to be a soldier from the past. This is not a real spear. It is a toy." + +He showed them his spear. He let them touch it gently. + +Lila and Ben were curious. They asked him questions. He told them stories. He taught them about history. + +Lila and Ben were happy. They learned something new. They made a new friend. They thanked the man for his spear. They said goodbye. + +They ran back to their mom.

She wrapped the vest around the bird to keep it warm and cozy. + +The bird was scared at first, but soon it felt Sara's gentle touch and heard her sweet voice. Sara told the bird that she would take care of it until it could fly again. She named the bird Fluffy and made a nest for it in a box. Every day, she fed Fluffy and sang to it. + +After a few weeks, Fluffy's wing was healed. Sara was happy, but also sad. She knew that Fluffy belonged to the sky, not to a box. She decided to let Fluffy go, even though she would miss it. She took Fluffy to the garden and opened the vest. Fluffy looked at Sara with gratitude and love. Then it spread its wings and flew away. + +Sara watched Fluffy soar in the air. She felt a tear roll down her cheek. She whispered, "Goodbye, Fluffy. Thank you for being my friend." She smiled and waved. She learned that sometimes, the best way to show love is to let go. + +The moral value of the story is: Love means caring for someone and letting them be free. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Can we go look, please?" Sam asked Lily. + +"OK, but be careful.

Do you want to play with me?" the voice said. + +Sam and Lily were curious. They could not see who was talking. + +"Who are you?" Sam asked. + +"I am a spirit. I live in this tree. I am lonely and bored. Come inside and I will show you some fun things," the voice said. + +Sam and Lily thought it sounded nice. They wanted to have fun. + +"OK, we will come in. But we have to go back soon. Our mom is waiting for us," Lily said. + +They crawled into the hole and followed the voice. They did not know that the voice was lying. It was not a friendly spirit. It was a hungry spirit. It wanted to eat them. + +The spirit led them to a dark and cold place. It had sharp teeth and claws. It smiled and said, "Thank you for coming, little ones. You are my dinner today." + +Sam and Lily were scared. They tried to run away, but it was too late. The spirit grabbed them and bit them. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. + +The spirit ate them and felt happy. It had not eaten for a long time. It said, "That was delicious. I hope more children come to play with me." + +The end. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump on the grass. They see a large dog with brown fur.

She sits on the top and smiles at Ben. She slides down fast and laughs. + +"See? It is not scary. It is fun!" Lily says. "Now you try." + +Ben walks to the slide and looks up. It is very high. He feels his legs shake. He does not want to go on the slide. + +"No, Lily, I do not want to. It is too high. I will fall and hurt myself." Ben says. + +Lily rolls her eyes. She thinks Ben is stupid. She does not want to play with him anymore. + +"You are stupid, Ben. You are a baby. You do not trust me. I am your friend. I will not let you fall. You are missing out on the fun." Lily says. She runs away to play with other kids. + +Ben feels sad and angry. He does not like Lily calling him stupid and a baby. He does not like Lily leaving him alone. He wants to show Lily that he is not stupid and a baby. He wants to show Lily that he trusts her. He decides to go on the slide. + +He climbs up the ladder slowly. He sits on the top and looks down. He feels his heart beat fast. He closes his eyes and slides down. + +He opens his eyes and sees Lily waiting for him at the bottom. She looks surprised and happy. + +"Wow, Ben, you did it!

The man is the dog's owner. He wears a uniform. He has a whistle. + +"Help, help!" Mia shouts. "The dog scares us!" + +The man hears Mia. He blows the whistle. The dog stops. He runs back to the man. The man says sorry. + +"I am sorry, kids. He is a good dog. He does not want to scare you. He wants to guard the park. Do you want to pet him?" + +Tom and Mia are not scared anymore. They come out from the tree. They pet the dog. The dog licks them. He wags his tail. + +"Thank you, man," Tom says. "The dog is nice. Can we play with him?" + +"Sure, you can," the man says. "But be careful. He is fast. He likes to chase balls." + +Tom and Mia are happy. They play with the dog. They throw balls. They laugh. They have fun. +Sara loves yogurt.

I work here." + +Her mom said, "Excuse me, Betty. Can you help us? My daughter likes yogurt, but she can't decide which one to buy." + +Betty smiled and said, "Sure, I can help you. Yogurt is good for you. It has calcium and protein. It makes your bones and muscles strong. It also has good bacteria that help your tummy. Do you know what bacteria are, Sara?" + +Sara shook her head. She said, "No, what are they?" + +Betty said, "They are very tiny things that live inside you. Some of them are bad and make you sick. Some of them are good and make you healthy. Yogurt has good bacteria that fight the bad bacteria. They are like little soldiers in your body. Do you like soldiers, Sara?" + +Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, I like soldiers. They are brave and strong. They protect us." + +Betty said, "That's right. Yogurt protects you, too. It also tastes good.

She said, "Yes, I'm ready. Let's play." + +Betty said, "Okay, here's the first clue. This yogurt is the color of the sky on a sunny day. What flavor is it?" + +Sara said, "Blueberry!" + +Betty said, "That's right. You can buy the blueberry yogurt. Here's the next clue. This yogurt is the color of a flower that smells sweet.

She wants to eat her cereal. She says, "But Mom, I am hungry. I want to finish my cereal." + +Mom says, "You can finish your cereal, but you have to eat quietly. Or you have to clean your bowl and spoon. You choose." + +Anna thinks. She does not like to clean. She likes to eat. She says, "OK, Mom. I choose to eat quietly." + +She eats her cereal very quietly.

The other animals would tell stories of all the things the shy pig did and they would all talk about him. + +One day all the animals on the farm went to the market to buy food. They saw so many exciting things. But the shy pig was too scared to leave the barn. He was so shy that he wouldn't even come out to take a peek. + +The other animals tried to encourage the shy pig, but nothing worked. Finally, they decided to let him stay in the barn. They told the shy pig that he would always be a part of their adventures even if he couldn't come along. + +The shy pig was grateful to the other animals for their kindness. Soon, all the animals were talking about the shy pig and how sweet he was. They all promised to always remember him and talk about him. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Sam.
