+Lily and Ben wave goodbye to the clown. They hold their balloons and their ice cream. They are happy.
+
+They go back to the park and play some more. They share their ice cream and their balloons with their other friends. They have a lot of fun.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a big teddy bear, a yellow ball, and a red car. She also had a baby brother, Max, who was very small and liked to crawl. Sometimes, Lily let Max play with her toys, but sometimes she did not.
+
+One day, Lily and Max were in the living room, while their mom was in the kitchen. Lily was playing with her red car, and Max was crawling on the floor. He saw the red car and wanted to touch it. He crawled towards Lily and reached for the car.
+
+"Mine!" Lily shouted, and pulled the car away from Max. "You can't have it!"
+
+Max started to cry. He was sad and angry. He wanted the red car too.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Lily and Max and knew what happened. She was not happy.
+
+"Lily, why are you being mean to your brother?" she asked. "He just wanted to play with you. You have to share your toys, or you will have no friends."
+
+Lily felt bad. She did not want to make Max cry, or mom angry. She also did not want to have no friends. She looked at Max and saw his big tears.
+
+"I'm sorry, Max," she said. "You can have the red car. I will play with the ball."
+
+She gave the red car to Max and picked up the ball. Max stopped crying and smiled. He took the red car and made vroom-vroom noises. He was happy.
+
+Mom smiled too. She was proud of Lily for being nice to her brother. She hugged them both and said, "Good job, Lily. You are a good sister. And you, Max, you are a good brother. I love you both very much."
+
+She took them to the kitchen and gave them a snack. She had cooked a steak for dad, who was coming home soon. He was tall and strong and liked to eat steak. Lily and Max liked steak too, but they had to wait until dinner. Mom gave them some crackers and juice instead. They ate and drank and talked about their toys. They were friends.
+Anna likes to ride her lizard. Her lizard is big and green and has a long tail. She calls her lizard Lizzy. Lizzy is very fast and can run on rocks and sand. Anna likes to hold on to Lizzy's neck and feel the wind in her hair.
+
+One day, Anna and Lizzy go to the park. They see many other children and animals. They see dogs and cats and birds and fish. They see swings and slides and balls and bikes. Anna wants to play with them, but Lizzy is shy. Lizzy does not like loud noises and strange smells. Lizzy hides behind a tree and hisses.
+
+"Come on, Lizzy, don't be scared," Anna says. "They are nice. They want to be our friends. Look, that boy has a bike. He can ride it like I ride you. Maybe we can race him."
+
+But Lizzy does not listen. Lizzy is afraid of the bike. The bike has wheels and pedals and a bell. The bike makes a lot of noise and moves very fast. Lizzy thinks the bike is a monster. Lizzy growls and shows his teeth.
+
+The boy sees Lizzy and stops his bike. He is curious and brave. He wants to see the lizard. He walks towards Lizzy and says, "Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name? What's that thing you have? Is it a lizard? Can I touch it?"
+
+Anna smiles and says, "Hi, Ben. I'm Anna. This is Lizzy. He is my lizard. He is very nice, but he is shy. He does not like bikes. He likes to ride with me. Do you want to ride with us?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun. Can I ride on Lizzy's tail?"
+
+Anna says, "Sure, you can. But be gentle. Lizzy is not used to having two riders. And don't pull his tail. He does not like that."
+
+Ben says, "OK, I won't. I'll be nice to Lizzy. Maybe he will like me too."
+
+Anna and Ben climb on Lizzy's back. Anna holds on to Lizzy's neck and Ben holds on to Lizzy's tail. Lizzy feels their weight and their warmth. He feels their kindness and their excitement. He decides to give them a chance. He opens his eyes and his mouth and makes a happy sound. He runs out of the tree and into the open. He runs faster and faster, making Anna and Ben laugh and scream. He runs around the park, past the dogs and cats and birds and fish, past the swings and slides and balls and bikes. He runs with joy and freedom. He runs with his new friends.
+Sara and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Sara was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Sara counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She saw a big tree and thought Ben might be behind it. She ran to the tree and shouted, "I found you!"
+
+But there was no Ben. There was only a white sheet on the ground. Sara picked up the sheet and saw a hole in it. She wondered where Ben was. She heard a giggle from behind another tree. She ran to that tree and saw Ben. He was holding a pair of scissors.
+
+"Ben, what did you do?" Sara asked.
+
+"I made a ghost!" Ben said. "I cut a hole in the sheet and put it over me. Then I ran away when you came. You thought I disappeared!"
+
+"That's not nice, Ben!" Sara said. "You scared me! And you ruined the sheet!"
+
+"Sorry, Sara," Ben said. "It was just a joke. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Sara looked at Ben. He had a big smile on his face. She also saw that he was wet. He had stepped in a puddle when he ran away. Sara smiled too. She had an idea.
+
+"OK, Ben," Sara said. "Let's play again. But this time, I have a surprise for you!"
+
+She threw the wet sheet over Ben and ran away. Ben was covered in the sheet. He felt cold and wet. He tried to get the sheet off, but it was stuck. He heard Sara laughing from far away.
+
+"Help! Help!" Ben shouted. "I'm a wet ghost!"
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park together. One day, they saw a big bridge over a stream. Lily wanted to cross the bridge, but Ben was scared.
+
+"It is too high and too wobbly," Ben said. "I do not want to fall in the water."
+
+Lily was a dependable friend. She did not laugh at Ben or leave him behind. She said, "You can do it, Ben. I will help you. I will hold your hand and we will go slow. The bridge is strong and safe. You are brave and smart."
+
+Lily encouraged Ben to try. Ben trusted Lily. He took her hand and stepped on the bridge. He felt nervous, but he did not give up. He looked at Lily and smiled. They crossed the bridge together.
+
+They were happy and proud. They had fun on the other side of the stream. They saw flowers and birds and rocks. They thanked the bridge for letting them pass. They learned that they could overcome their fears with the help of a good friend.
+Sara was sick. She had a bad cough and a hot head. She did not want to play or eat. She only wanted to sleep.
+
+Mama took Sara to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He looked at Sara's ears, nose and throat. He said Sara had a cold. He gave Sara some medicine to make her feel better.
+
+The doctor also had a nurse. The nurse was kind. She gave Sara a sticker and a lollipop. She said Sara was brave and strong.
+
+"Thank you, nurse," Sara said. "You are very good."
+
+The nurse smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Sara. You are very sweet. But you have to take your medicine and drink lots of water. That will help you get well soon."
+
+Sara nodded. She said, "I will, nurse. I want to be well and play with my friends."
+
+Mama hugged Sara. She said, "I love you, Sara. You are my best girl. The nurse is right. You have to take care of yourself."
+
+Sara hugged Mama back. She said, "I love you, Mama. You are my best mama. You take care of me."
+
+Mama and Sara went home. Sara took her medicine and drank lots of water. She also rested in her bed. She knew being sick was hard. But she also knew she had a good doctor, a kind nurse and a loving mama. She hoped she would feel better soon.
+Lily likes to swim in the pool. She has a cheap swimsuit with pink flowers. She puts it on and runs to the pool with her mom. She sees other kids playing in the water. She wants to join them.
+
+She jumps into the pool and feels the cold splash. She laughs and kicks her legs. She hears a whistle and looks up. It is the lifeguard. He tells the kids to get out of the pool. He says there is a storm coming.
+
+Lily is sad. She likes the pool. She does not like the storm. She hears the thunder and sees the lightning. She is scared. She holds her mom's hand and runs to the car. She hopes the storm will go away soon. She wants to swim in the pool again.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play at school. One day, they see a new teacher. She has long hair and a nice dress. She is attractive.
+
+"Who is she?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe she is our new teacher," Tom says.
+
+They follow her to the classroom. She writes her name on the blackboard. It is Miss Rose.
+
+"Hello, children. I am Miss Rose. I am your new teacher. I am happy to meet you," she says.
+
+Lily and Tom smile. They like Miss Rose. They think she is kind and smart.
+
+They sit down and listen to her. She tells them stories and teaches them new words. They have fun and learn a lot.
+
+Lily and Tom are glad they followed Miss Rose. They want to be her friends. They think she is the best teacher ever.
+Sara was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She liked to dress up in her mom's clothes and jewelry when mom was not home. She thought she looked very pretty and grown-up.
+
+One day, she found a shiny bracelet in mom's drawer. It was silver and had many small stones that sparkled like stars. Sara put it on her wrist and admired it in the mirror. She felt very happy and special. She decided to go outside and show it to her friend Lily.
+
+She ran down the stairs and opened the door. But as soon as she stepped outside, she felt a cold wind blow on her face. She looked around and saw that everything was white and frozen. It had snowed a lot during the night and the ground was covered with snow. Sara had never seen snow before and she was amazed. She wanted to touch it and play with it.
+
+She ran to the nearest snow pile and reached out her hand. But as she did, the bracelet slipped off her wrist and fell into the snow. Sara gasped and tried to find it, but it was too small and too shiny. It blended in with the snow and she could not see it. She started to cry and call for help.
+
+Lily heard her cry and came running. She saw Sara kneeling in the snow and asked her what was wrong. Sara told her about the bracelet and how she lost it. Lily felt sorry for her and tried to help her look for it. But they could not find it either. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
+
+Sara felt very sad and scared. She wished she had not taken the bracelet. She wished she had listened to mom and stayed inside. She wished she had not been so independent. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was very silly and naughty. I don't want to be independent anymore. I want to be with mom and dad. Can you help me go home?"
+
+Lily nodded and took Sara's hand. She said, "Don't worry, Sara. We will go home and tell mom and dad what happened. Maybe they can help us find the bracelet later. Or maybe they can buy you a new one. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will not take things that are not yours. And you have to promise me that you will not go outside without a coat and gloves. It is very cold and you can get sick. Do you promise?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "I promise, Lily. Thank you for being my friend. You are very kind and smart. I want to be like you when I grow up."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Sara. You are my friend too. And you are very pretty and brave. I want to be like you when I grow up."
+
+They hugged each other and walked back to Sara's house. They hoped that mom and dad would not be too angry and that they would find the bracelet someday. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that being independent is good, but being careful and respectful is better. And they learned that having a friend is the best thing of all.
+Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look at the waves. Sometimes they saw people surf on the water. They thought it looked fun and cool.
+
+"Can we surf too, mom?" Lila asked.
+
+"Maybe when you are older, sweetie. Surfing is hard and you need to be careful," mom said.
+
+Ben saw a big surf board lying on the sand. He ran to it and tried to lift it. It was very heavy and he fell down. He blinked his eyes and saw a man standing over him.
+
+"Hey, kid, that's my board. What are you doing?" the man said. He sounded angry.
+
+Ben was scared and worried. He did not mean to touch the man's board. He wanted to say sorry, but he could not find his words.
+
+Lila saw what happened and ran to Ben. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. He is not mad at you. He is just surprised. Right, mister?"
+
+The man looked at Lila and Ben. He saw that they were just curious and not bad. He smiled and said, "Yeah, you're right, little girl. I'm not mad. I'm sorry I scared you. Do you want to see my board?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. The man showed them his board and told them how he surfed. He let them touch it and feel it. He was nice and friendly.
+
+Mom and dad came and thanked the man for being kind to their kids. They said they were sorry for the trouble. The man said it was no problem and invited them to watch him surf. Lila and Ben clapped and cheered as they saw him ride the waves. They thought he was awesome and brave. They decided they wanted to surf too, one day.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make them zoom on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. They pretend they are racing or going on a trip.
+
+One day, they find a new toy in their room. It is a big red car with a spring inside. When they push the car down, the spring makes it jump up and zoom very fast. Lily and Ben are very happy. They want to try the new car.
+
+They take turns to push the car and watch it zoom. Sometimes it zooms so fast that it hits the wall or the door. Sometimes it zooms so high that it lands on the bed or the shelf. Lily and Ben laugh and clap their hands.
+
+But their cat, Max, does not like the new car. He is a lazy cat who likes to sleep on the sofa. He does not like the noise and the movement of the car. He thinks it is annoying and scary. He tries to hide under the pillow or behind the curtain.
+
+One time, the car zooms so close to Max that he jumps up and runs away. He knocks over a vase and a lamp. Lily and Ben hear the crash and stop playing. They go to see what happened. They find Max hiding under the bed. They see the broken vase and the lamp.
+
+They feel sorry for Max. They realize they were too loud and too fast. They decide to put away the new car and play with their other toys. They also give Max a hug and a treat. They say sorry to him and to their mom. They learn to be more careful and kind.
+Tom is a boy who likes to find things. He finds rocks, sticks, bugs and toys. He puts them in a big box in his room. He is happy with his finds.
+
+One day, he finds a book. It has many pictures and words. He does not know what the words mean. He wants to learn. He takes the book to his mom. He says, "Mom, what is this?"
+
+Mom smiles and hugs Tom. She says, "This is a book, Tom. It is a special find. Books can teach you many things. They can teach you about animals, places, stories and more. Do you want me to teach you how to read this book?"
+
+Tom nods and says, "Yes, please, Mom. I want to learn." Mom and Tom sit on the couch. Mom opens the book and points to the words. She says them slowly and clearly. Tom repeats after her. He learns some new words. He is happy and proud.
+
+Mom says, "You are doing great, Tom. Reading is fun and useful. But you also need to take care of your books. Books are not like rocks or sticks. They can get dirty or torn. You need to keep them clean and safe. Do you know how to do that?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He says, "I can put them in a shelf. I can use a cloth to wipe them. I can be gentle with them. Is that right, Mom?"
+
+Mom says, "That is right, Tom. You are a smart and caring boy. I am proud of you. Now, let's read some more of this book. It is a story about a dog who finds a friend. Do you like dogs, Tom?"
+
+Tom says, "I love dogs, Mom. Maybe I can find a dog someday. And we can read books together." Mom and Tom laugh and hug. They read the book and enjoy their time. Tom is happy with his find.
+Anna loves music. She likes to sing and dance and play with her toy piano. She has many songs in her head and in her heart. But sometimes, her big brother Tom does not allow her to make music. He says it is too loud and he wants to read his books.
+
+One day, Anna is very sad. She wants to make music, but Tom is in the living room with his books. He tells her to go away and be quiet. Anna does not know what to do. She goes to her room and cries.
+
+Then, she hears a knock on the door. It is her mommy. She comes in and hugs Anna. She asks her why she is crying. Anna tells her that Tom does not allow her to make music. Mommy smiles and says, "I have an idea. Why don't we go to the park and make music there? We can take your toy piano and sing and dance and have fun. And maybe we can meet some other children who like music too. What do you think?"
+
+Anna's eyes light up. She nods and says, "Yes, mommy, yes! I want to go to the park and make music!" She wipes her tears and grabs her toy piano. Mommy takes her hand and they go to the park.
+
+At the park, Anna and mommy make sweet music. They sing and dance and play with the toy piano. They also meet some other children who like music too. They join them and make more music together. Anna is very happy. She thinks music is the best thing in the world. And she thinks mommy is the best mommy in the world. She gives her a big hug and says, "Thank you, mommy, thank you! You are so nice and you make me happy!" Mommy hugs her back and says, "You are welcome, Anna, you are welcome! You are so sweet and you make me happy too!" They smile and make more music. And even Tom, who is at home with his books, can hear them and smiles too. He thinks maybe music is not so bad after all.
+Lily and Max were twins who loved to play together. They also loved to eat dessert, especially chocolate cake. One day, their mom baked a big chocolate cake for them and put it on the table. She told them they could have one slice each after dinner, but not before.
+
+Lily and Max finished their dinner quickly and asked for their dessert. Mom cut two slices of cake and gave them to the twins. They were very grateful and said thank you. But they also wanted more cake. They looked at the rest of the cake on the table and wondered if they could have another slice.
+
+"I dare you to take another slice," Max whispered to Lily. "Mom won't notice."
+
+Lily looked at Max and then at the cake. She was tempted, but she was also scared. "What if mom sees us?" she whispered back. "She will be angry and we will be in trouble."
+
+Max shrugged. "She won't see us. She is busy in the kitchen. Come on, it's just one more slice. It's so yummy."
+
+Lily hesitated, but then she nodded. She reached for the cake and took another slice. She gave half of it to Max and they ate it quickly. They smiled at each other and licked their fingers.
+
+But then they heard mom's voice. "Lily, Max, what are you doing?" Mom came into the room and saw the cake. She saw the missing slice and the crumbs on the twins' faces. She was not happy. She frowned and said, "You two, you broke the rule. You had more dessert than you were allowed. That was not nice. You should have waited for me to give you more. Now you have to go to your room and think about what you did. No more dessert for you tonight."
+
+Lily and Max felt bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They said sorry to mom and went to their room. They wished they had not taken the extra slice. They wished they had been more grateful for what they had. They learned their lesson and decided not to dare each other to do bad things again.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy boat. They took it to the pond and put it in the water. They watched it float and move with the wind.
+
+"Let's rock the boat!" Ben said. He threw a stone at the boat and made a big splash. The boat rocked and tipped over.
+
+"Stop it, Ben! That's not nice!" Sam said. He ran to the edge of the pond and tried to reach the boat. But it was too far and he slipped and fell into the water.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sam cried. He was scared and wet. The water was cold and deep.
+
+Ben felt sorry for his brother. He ran to get help. He saw a man with a big, powerful dog. The dog had a red collar and a shiny badge.
+
+"Please, sir, please help my brother! He fell into the pond!" Ben said.
+
+The man and the dog ran to the pond. The dog jumped into the water and swam to Sam. He grabbed Sam's shirt with his teeth and pulled him to the shore. The man helped Sam out of the water and wrapped him in a blanket.
+
+"Are you okay, son?" the man asked.
+
+"Yes, thank you, sir. And thank you, doggy. You are very brave and powerful," Sam said.
+
+The man smiled and petted the dog. "His name is Rex. He is a rescue dog. He helps people who are in trouble."
+
+Ben hugged his brother and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was wrong to rock the boat. I won't do it again. I love you."
+
+Sam hugged him back and said, "I love you too, Ben. And I love Rex. He is our hero."
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't rock the boat. It can cause trouble and danger. Be kind and respectful to others. And be grateful to those who help you.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to pretend they were cops and robbers. Tim was the cop and Mia was the robber. Tim had a badge and a hat and Mia had a mask and a bag.
+
+"Stop, robber! You are under arrest!" Tim shouted, running after Mia.
+
+"No, you can't catch me! I have the money!" Mia said, laughing and dodging Tim.
+
+They ran around the trees and the swings, having fun. But then they saw a big dog. The dog was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and ran towards them. Tim and Mia were scared.
+
+"Help, help! A dog!" Mia screamed, dropping her bag and hiding behind a bench.
+
+"Stay there, I'll protect you!" Tim said, bravely. He picked up a stick and waved it at the dog. "Go away, dog! Leave us alone!"
+
+But the dog did not go away. It jumped at Tim and bit his arm. Tim cried out in pain and dropped the stick. The dog growled and bit him again. Mia watched in horror and cried too.
+
+"Help, help! Someone help us!" Mia shouted, hoping someone would hear them.
+
+But no one heard them. The park was empty and quiet. The dog kept biting Tim until he stopped moving. Mia was alone and afraid. The dog looked at her and licked its lips. She wished Tim was still the cop and she was still the robber. She wished they had never played in the park. She wished someone would save them. But no one came. The dog was bossy and mean. It was the end.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a big building near the park. It was very tall and dark. It had many windows, but no lights.
+
+"Let's go and see the building," Tom said. He was curious and brave.
+
+"No, Tom, it is scary," Lily said. She was afraid and careful. "Maybe there are monsters inside."
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran to the building and opened the door. He saw a long hall with many doors. He wanted to number the doors and see what was behind them.
+
+He opened the first door. He saw a big spider. It had eight legs and many eyes. It made a loud noise. Tom screamed and ran away.
+
+He opened the second door. He saw a big snake. It had no legs and a long tongue. It hissed and moved. Tom screamed and ran away.
+
+He opened the third door. He saw a big bear. It had four legs and sharp teeth. It growled and stood up. Tom screamed and ran away.
+
+He ran back to the hall. He saw Lily waiting for him. She was worried and sad.
+
+"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. She hugged him and kissed him.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, I was wrong," Tom said. He was scared and sorry. "The building is scary. Let's go back to the park."
+
+They held hands and ran back to the park. They played and laughed. They did not look at the building again. They were happy and safe.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Tom saw a big dog. The dog was black and brown and had sharp teeth. The dog barked and ran towards them. Tom was scared. He tried to run away, but he tripped and fell. He hurt his knee. It was bleeding and it hurt a lot.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom cried. He felt helpless. He could not get up. He could not run. He could not hide. The dog was coming closer and closer.
+
+Lily heard Tom's cry. She turned around and saw the dog. She was scared too, but she wanted to help Tom. She picked up a stick and ran to Tom. She tried to speak to the dog.
+
+"Go away! Go away!" she shouted. She waved the stick at the dog. She hoped the dog would be afraid and leave them alone.
+
+But the dog was not afraid. The dog was angry. The dog did not like the stick. The dog did not like the shout. The dog did not like Lily and Tom. The dog jumped and bit Lily's arm. Lily screamed and dropped the stick. The dog bit Tom's leg. Tom screamed too. They both cried and cried.
+
+No one heard them. No one came to help them. The dog did not stop. The dog hurt them more and more. Lily and Tom were helpless. They wished they had never seen the dog. They wished they had never played in the park. They wished they had stayed at home. But it was too late. The dog was too strong. The dog was too mean. The dog was too hungry. The dog ate them. The end.
+Lily was a poor girl who lived with her mother in a small house. They did not have much money or food, but they had a garden where they grew some flowers and vegetables. Lily loved the garden and helped her mother water and weed it every day.
+
+One day, a rich lady came to their house and asked to buy some flowers. She said she liked the garden and wanted to make her own house look pretty. Lily's mother agreed to sell some flowers, but she also gave the lady a basket of vegetables as a gift. She said they had more than they needed and wanted to share.
+
+The rich lady was very happy and thanked them. She said she would come back soon and bring them something in return. Lily and her mother smiled and waved goodbye. They were glad to make a new friend and to be kind.
+
+The next day, the rich lady came back with a big box. She said it was a present for Lily and her mother. She opened the box and showed them what was inside. There were books, toys, clothes, and a cake. Lily and her mother were amazed and grateful. They had never received such nice things before.
+
+The rich lady said she wanted to thank them for their generosity and kindness. She said they had taught her a valuable lesson. She said she had a lot of money, but she was not happy. She said she had been selfish and lonely, and did not care about others. She said she had learned from them that happiness comes from giving and sharing, not from having and keeping.
+
+Lily and her mother hugged the rich lady and thanked her. They invited her to stay for tea and cake. They became good friends and visited each other often. They enjoyed their garden and their gifts, but most of all, they enjoyed their friendship. They learned that being poor or rich does not matter, as long as you have love and kindness in your heart.
+Tom and Lily were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower. They put one block on top of another, and another, and another. They were happy and proud of their tower.
+
+But then, Ben came along. Ben was not nice. He did not like to share. He wanted to play with the blocks too. He pushed Tom and Lily away. He knocked down their tower. The blocks fell to the floor. Ben laughed.
+
+Tom and Lily were very upset. They cried and shouted. "Ben, you are mean! You broke our tower! Go away!"
+
+Ben did not care. He picked up some blocks and started to build his own tower. He thought he was better than Tom and Lily.
+
+But he was wrong. He did not know how to balance the blocks. His tower was wobbly and weak. It did not stand for long. It collapsed with a loud crash. Ben was surprised and angry. He threw the blocks and stomped his feet.
+
+Tom and Lily saw what happened. They stopped crying and smiled. They felt sorry for Ben, but they also felt happy. They had succeeded in building a big tower. Ben had failed. They decided to try again.
+
+They picked up the blocks and started to build a new tower. They worked together and helped each other. They made their tower even bigger and stronger than before. They looked at their tower and felt proud. They had done a good job.
+
+They also looked at Ben. He was still mad and alone. He had no friends and no tower. They felt a little bad for him. They wanted to be nice. They called him over.
+
+"Ben, do you want to play with us? We can share the blocks. We can build a bigger tower together. It will be fun."
+
+Ben looked at them. He did not know what to say. He felt ashamed and sorry. He had been mean and rude. He had no right to play with them.
+
+But Tom and Lily were kind and forgiving. They smiled and waved. They made room for him. They gave him some blocks. They invited him to join them.
+
+Ben felt a warm feeling in his chest. He felt grateful and happy. He nodded and walked over. He said, "Thank you. I'm sorry. I want to play with you."
+
+Tom and Lily welcomed him. They taught him how to balance the blocks. They praised him when he did well. They laughed and joked. They became friends.
+
+They built a huge tower. They looked at their tower and felt proud. They had done a great job. They had succeeded. They had also learned a lesson. They had learned to share, to help, to forgive, and to be nice. They had learned to be happy.
+Anna likes to eat fruits. She likes apples, bananas, oranges and grapes. But she does not like limes. Limes are green and sour. They make her face funny.
+
+One day, her mom gives her a lime. She says, "Try this, Anna. It is good for you. It has vitamin C." Anna looks at the lime. She shakes her head. She says, "No, thank you, mom. I do not want it. I do not like limes."
+
+Her mom says, "But you have not tried it. How do you know you do not like it? Maybe you will like it if you try it. Just take a small bite." She cuts a slice of lime and holds it out to Anna.
+
+Anna refuses. She says, "No, mom. I do not want to try it. I know I do not like it. It is sour and yucky. Please give me something else."
+
+Her mom sighs. She says, "Okay, Anna. I will not force you. But maybe you will change your mind someday. Limes are not yucky. They are pretty and fresh. They can make other foods taste better. They can also help you when you are sick. They are good fruits."
+
+She puts the lime away and gives Anna a different fruit. Anna is happy. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love fruits. But not limes." She eats her fruit and smiles.
+One day, a boy named Tom went to the pond with his mom. He liked to look at the fish and the ducks and the frogs. He saw a big green frog sitting on a rock. He wanted to catch it and play with it.
+
+"Mom, can I catch the frog?" he asked.
+
+"Be careful, Tom. Frogs are slippery and they can jump very high. You might scare it away," his mom said.
+
+Tom did not listen. He ran to the rock and reached for the frog. But the frog was faster. It jumped into the water and vanished.
+
+"Where did it go?" Tom cried. He looked around, but he could not see the frog.
+
+"It's gone, Tom. It hid under the water. Maybe it will come back later, if you are quiet and patient," his mom said.
+
+Tom was sad and angry. He wanted the frog. He did not want to wait. He stomped his feet and threw a stick into the pond.
+
+"Stop that, Tom. You are making too much noise. You are scaring the other animals. That's not nice," his mom said.
+
+Tom did not care. He wanted the frog. He did not want to be nice. He threw another stick into the pond.
+
+But then, something happened. The water splashed and a big green head popped out. It was the frog. It looked at Tom with its big eyes and opened its mouth.
+
+"Ribbit! Ribbit!" it said.
+
+Tom was surprised. He stopped throwing sticks. He looked at the frog.
+
+"Did you say something?" he asked.
+
+"Ribbit! Ribbit!" the frog said again.
+
+Tom did not understand. He did not speak frog. He wondered what the frog was saying.
+
+"Are you trying to talk to me?" he asked.
+
+"Ribbit! Ribbit!" the frog said louder.
+
+Tom was curious. He wanted to know what the frog was saying. He forgot about catching it and playing with it. He wanted to listen to it and learn from it.
+
+He sat down on the grass and smiled at the frog.
+
+"Hello, frog. I'm sorry I scared you. I want to be your friend. Can you teach me how to speak frog?" he asked.
+
+The frog smiled back. It nodded its head and said:
+
+"Ribbit! Ribbit!"
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. They have a big network of tracks and towers on the floor. They make noises like vroom and beep.
+
+One day, Lily sees a new toy in the corner. It is a soft bear with a red bow. It looks warm and cuddly. Lily wants to hug it. She leaves the network and walks to the bear.
+
+"Where are you going?" Sam asks. He likes the network. He does not want to stop playing.
+
+"I want to see the bear," Lily says. She picks up the bear and holds it close. It is warm and soft. She smiles.
+
+"Come back and play with me," Sam urges. He feels lonely. He does not like the bear. He thinks it is boring.
+
+"No, I like the bear," Lily says. She does not want to leave the bear. She thinks it is cute.
+
+Sam is sad. He misses Lily. He has an idea. He finds another toy. It is a truck with a blue trailer. It looks fun and fast. He drives it to Lily and the bear.
+
+"Look, I have a truck," Sam says. He shows Lily the truck. He makes noises like honk and zoom.
+
+Lily looks at the truck. She likes trucks. She likes Sam. She has an idea. She puts the bear in the trailer.
+
+"Let's play with the truck and the bear," Lily says. She gives Sam a hug. She smiles.
+
+Sam is happy. He hugs Lily back. He smiles.
+
+They play with the truck and the bear. They join the network. They have fun. They are friends.
+One day, a hunter went to the forest to look for animals. He had a big gun and a big bag. He wanted to fill his bag with meat and fur. He walked and walked, but he did not see any animals. He felt angry and hungry.
+
+He saw a big cave. He thought maybe there were animals inside. He went into the cave. It was dark and cold. He heard a loud roar. He saw two big eyes and a big mouth. It was a bear! The bear was very angry. It wanted to protect its home.
+
+The hunter was scared. He tried to run away, but the bear was faster. It caught him with its thick claws and bit him with its sharp teeth. The hunter screamed and dropped his gun and his bag.
+
+A little girl was walking in the forest. She was looking for flowers and berries. She heard the hunter scream. She ran to the cave. She saw the bear and the hunter. She felt sorry for the hunter. She knew the bear was only defending itself, but she did not want the hunter to die.
+
+She picked up a stick and threw it at the bear. The bear looked at her. She shouted, "Go away, bear! Leave him alone!" The bear was surprised. It did not want to hurt the little girl. It let go of the hunter and ran away.
+
+The little girl went to the hunter. He was bleeding and crying. She said, "Don't cry, hunter. I will help you. I will remind you of something good." She took out a bandage and a candy from her pocket. She wrapped the bandage around his wound and gave him the candy. She said, "This is for you. It is sweet and yummy. It will make you feel better. It will remind you of your home and your family. They love you and they are waiting for you. You should go back to them and be happy. You should not hurt the animals. They have homes and families too. They want to be happy too."
+
+The hunter listened to the little girl. He felt ashamed and grateful. He said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very kind and brave. You saved my life. You reminded me of what is important. I will go back to my home and my family. I will not hurt the animals anymore. I will be happy and I will make them happy too."
+
+The little girl smiled and hugged him. She said, "You're welcome, hunter. I'm glad you are okay. I hope you have a good life. Goodbye." She waved and walked away.
+
+The hunter picked up his gun and his bag. He threw them away. He did not need them anymore. He followed the little girl's footsteps. He went back to his home and his family. He was happy and he made them happy too. He never forgot the little girl and the bear. He always remembered them and their lesson.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to dig in the sand and make castles and roads. Tom had a red truck and Lily had a yellow bucket and a shovel.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found something shiny!" Tom said, holding up a small coin. "It is gold! We are rich!"
+
+Lily looked at the coin and smiled. "Wow, Tom, it is very pretty! Can I see it?"
+
+Tom gave her the coin and she rubbed it with her fingers. It was clean and bright. She liked how it felt in her hand.
+
+"Can we keep it, Tom?" she asked.
+
+Tom nodded. "Yes, we can. It is ours. We can buy candy and toys and books with it."
+
+They were very happy and hugged each other. They put the coin in their pocket and continued to play.
+
+But then, a big boy came and saw them. He was mean and rude. He wanted the coin for himself.
+
+"Hey, you two, give me that coin!" he shouted, grabbing Tom's arm. "It is mine! I saw it first!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared and sad. They tried to pull away, but the boy was stronger. He took the coin from their pocket and ran away.
+
+Tom and Lily cried. They had lost their gold. They felt bad.
+
+A nice lady saw them and came to help. She was kind and gentle. She comforted them and gave them a hug.
+
+"Don't cry, Tom and Lily," she said. "It is okay. The coin was not really gold. It was just a toy. The boy was wrong and mean. He can't buy anything with it. You are still rich. You have each other and your toys and your fun. That is more important than gold."
+
+Tom and Lily listened to her and felt better. They wiped their tears and smiled. They thanked the lady and went back to their toys. They played and laughed and forgot about the coin. They were happy again.
+Anna loved her doll very much. She named her doll Lily and gave her a pretty dress and a bow. She played with Lily every day and took her everywhere. She liked to raise Lily up in the air and pretend she was flying.
+
+One day, Anna went to the park with her mom and Lily. She saw some other kids playing with their toys. She wanted to make new friends, so she walked over to them. She raised Lily up and said, "Hi, I'm Anna. This is Lily. She can fly. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+But the other kids did not want to play with Anna and Lily. They laughed at her and said, "That's not a real doll. That's a rag. And she can't fly. She's just a piece of cloth. You're silly and your doll is ugly."
+
+Anna felt very sad and angry. She did not like the other kids. She thought they were mean and rude. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't listen to them, Lily. You're not ugly. You're beautiful and impressive. And you can fly. You're the best doll ever."
+
+She ran back to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. Those kids were not nice to you. But you know what? You're right. Lily is beautiful and impressive. And she can fly in your imagination. And that's what matters. You have a big heart and a creative mind. And I'm very proud of you."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love Lily. She's my best friend." She raised Lily up again and said, "Let's go fly, Lily. We don't need those kids. We have each other." And they flew away in their own happy world.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big cooler near the bench. It was red and shiny. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben said.
+
+"Maybe we should not," Lily said. "It is not ours."
+
+Ben did not listen. He ran to the cooler and lifted the lid. He saw many cans and bottles. They had juice and soda and water. He smiled and grabbed one.
+
+"Look, Lily! Juice!" he said. "Do you want some?"
+
+Lily walked to the cooler. She felt curious. She liked juice. She took a can and opened it. She drank some. It was sweet and cold.
+
+They drank and drank. They did not see the man who owned the cooler. He was playing with his dog. He came back and saw them. He was angry.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing?" he shouted. "That is my cooler! You are stealing my drinks!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the cans and ran away. They felt bad. They knew they did something wrong. They regretted opening the cooler. They wished they had listened to Lily.
+
+They ran to their moms. They told them what happened. Their moms were not happy. They made them go back to the park. They made them say sorry to the man. They made them give him some money.
+
+The man was still mad. But he saw that they were sorry. He saw that they were little. He decided to be friendly. He accepted their apology. He gave them back some money. He told them to be careful next time.
+
+Lily and Ben thanked him. They learned their lesson. They never opened a cooler that was not theirs again. They stayed friends. They played in the park. But they brought their own drinks.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they did not like to share or sort them. They always fought over who had the best toys and who had more toys. They were spoiled children who did not listen to their mom and dad.
+
+One day, their mom and dad decided to take them to an island for a vacation. They hoped that the island would make Tom and Lily happy and kind. They packed some of their toys in a big bag and got on a boat. The island was very beautiful, with sand and trees and water. Tom and Lily saw some other children playing on the beach. They wanted to join them, but they did not want to share their toys.
+
+They ran to the big bag and opened it. They started to grab their toys and yell at each other. "This is mine! That is yours! Give me that! No, it is mine!" They did not sort their toys or play nicely. They made a big mess and a big noise. The other children did not like them. They ran away from them and played with their own toys.
+
+Tom and Lily did not care. They kept fighting and throwing their toys. They did not see the big wave that was coming. The wave was very big and very strong. It crashed on the beach and swept away the big bag and all the toys. Tom and Lily screamed and cried. They had no toys left. They had no friends. They had no fun. They were very sad and very sorry. They wished they had sorted their toys and shared them. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. But it was too late. The wave had taken everything. They had spoiled their vacation.
+Lily was sad. She wanted to talk to her mom. Her mom was far away. She worked in another place. Lily missed her mom a lot.
+
+She saw a telephone on the table. She knew how to use it. She picked it up and pressed some buttons. She hoped to hear her mom's voice.
+
+But she heard a different voice. It was a man. He sounded angry. He said, "Who is this? Stop calling me!"
+
+Lily was scared. She did not know the man. She did not know what to say. She dropped the telephone and ran to her dad.
+
+"Dad, dad, help me!" she cried. "There is a bad man on the telephone!"
+
+Her dad was busy. He was working on his computer. He did not look at her. He said, "Lily, stop bothering me. I told you not to touch the telephone. Go to your room."
+
+Lily felt more sad. She did not understand why her dad was mad at her. She did not understand why the man was angry. She did not understand why her mom was not there.
+
+She went to her room. She hugged her teddy bear. She wished someone would explain to her what was wrong. She wished someone would make her feel better. But no one did. She cried herself to sleep.
+Jenny and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they have one rule: they must not break anything. Their mom and dad will be angry if they do.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the closet. It has a picture of a train on it. Jenny and Ben love trains. They want to open the box and play with the train. But the box has a sticker that says "Do not open until Christmas".
+
+"Can we open it, please?" Jenny asks Ben.
+
+"No, we can't," Ben says. "It is not polite to open a gift before Christmas. Mom and dad will not allow it."
+
+"But I want to see the train," Jenny says. "Maybe we can just peek a little bit."
+
+She tries to lift the lid of the box. But it is taped very well. She pulls harder and harder. Then she hears a loud crack.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben says. "You broke the box!"
+
+Jenny looks at the box. She sees a big crack on the side. She feels very sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," she says. "I did not mean to break it. What can we do?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can fix it," he says. "We can use some glue and paper. And we can write a note to mom and dad. We can say we are sorry and we love them."
+
+Jenny nods. She thinks that is a good idea. She and Ben get some glue and paper. They work together to cover the crack. They write a note and put it on the box. They hope mom and dad will not be too angry.
+
+They hug each other and say they are sorry. They put the box back in the closet. They decide to wait until Christmas to see the train. They think it will be more fun that way.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving or talking.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to the store," Tom said, moving his truck on the carpet.
+
+"Hello, I'm your friend, do you want to play?" Lily said, making her doll wave.
+
+But Mom was in the kitchen, trying to make a cake. She needed quiet to follow the recipe. She did not like the noises Tom and Lily were making.
+
+"Tom, Lily, please be quiet. Mom is busy," she said, coming to the living room.
+
+"OK, Mom, we'll be quiet," Tom and Lily said. They did not want to make Mom angry.
+
+Mom went back to the kitchen. Tom and Lily tried to be quiet, but they still wanted to play. They looked around for something else to do.
+
+Tom saw a ribbon on the table. It was red and shiny. He liked it. He took it and tied it around his truck.
+
+"Look, Lily, my truck has a ribbon. It's pretty," he said, showing his truck to Lily.
+
+Lily saw the ribbon and wanted it. She liked it too. She took it from Tom's truck and tied it around her doll.
+
+"No, Lily, it's mine. Give it back," Tom said, grabbing the ribbon.
+
+"No, Tom, it's mine. I want it," Lily said, pulling the ribbon.
+
+They both pulled the ribbon hard. It stretched and snapped. The ribbon was broken. Tom and Lily were sad. They liked the ribbon.
+
+Mom heard the snap and came to the living room. She saw the broken ribbon and the sad faces.
+
+"What happened?" she asked.
+
+"We broke the ribbon, Mom. We're sorry," Tom and Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed. She was not angry, but she was disappointed. She had a plan for the ribbon. She took the broken ribbon and the kids to the kitchen.
+
+"Look, kids, this is the cake I made. It's for Dad's birthday. I wanted to use the ribbon to decorate it. But now it's broken. What can we do?" she asked.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the cake. It was big and round and smelled good. They wanted to make Dad happy.
+
+"Maybe we can use something else, Mom. Like sprinkles or candles," Tom said.
+
+"Or we can glue the ribbon back together, Mom. Like a puzzle," Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled. She was proud of Tom and Lily. They had good ideas.
+
+"That's very nice of you, kids. Let's try both. Maybe we can make the ribbon look like new. And we can add some sprinkles and candles too. Then we can surprise Dad when he comes home. How does that sound?" she asked.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were happy. They helped Mom fix the ribbon and decorate the cake. They were quiet and careful. They wanted to make the cake perfect.
+
+They finished the cake and put it on the table. They waited for Dad to come home. They were excited.
+
+When Dad came home, he saw the cake and the kids. He was surprised and happy.
+
+"Wow, what a beautiful cake! And what a lovely ribbon! Did you make this for me?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, Dad, we did. Happy birthday!" Tom and Lily said, hugging him.
+
+"Thank you, kids. You're the best. And thank you, Mom. You're amazing. This is the best birthday ever," Dad said, kissing them.
+
+They all sat down and ate the cake. It was delicious. They laughed and talked and had fun. They were a happy family.
+Lily was a chubby bird who liked to fly. She flew high and low, fast and slow, and sang her happy song. She had many friends who flew with her, like Ben the bee and Mia the mouse.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big, soft cloud. She wanted to take a nap on it. She flew up and up, until she reached the cloud. She lay down and closed her eyes.
+
+But then, she heard a loud roar. She opened her eyes and saw a huge dragon. The dragon was angry. He said, "This is my cloud. Go away, little bird. You are too chubby and heavy. You will make my cloud sink."
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She said, "Please, Mr. Dragon, let me stay. I am tired and need a nap. I will not make your cloud sink. I am not that chubby."
+
+The dragon snorted. He said, "No, you cannot stay. You are too noisy and annoying. You will disturb my sleep. Go away, or I will blow fire at you."
+
+Lily did not want to be burned. She flew away, crying. She looked for another cloud, but they were all taken by other animals. She felt lonely and unhappy.
+
+Then, she saw Ben and Mia. They saw her tears and asked, "What is wrong, Lily? Why are you sad?"
+
+Lily told them about the dragon and the cloud. They felt sorry for her. They said, "Don't worry, Lily. We have a solution. Come with us. We know a place where you can take a nap."
+
+They led her to a big, green tree. They said, "This is our home. You can sleep on one of the branches. It is soft and cozy. And no one will bother you."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben and Mia. You are very kind and good friends. Can I sing you a song?"
+
+They said, "Yes, please. We love your song."
+
+Lily sang her happy song. Then, she lay down on a branch and closed her eyes. She felt warm and safe. She took a nap and dreamed of flying.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books, but they wanted to do something new. They saw a big jug of water on the table and a pile of cushions on the sofa.
+
+"Let's make a waterfall!" Anna said. "We can pour the water from the jug and watch it splash on the cushions."
+
+"OK, that sounds fun!" Ben agreed. He took the jug and climbed on the sofa. Anna followed him with a big smile.
+
+They poured the water slowly at first, then faster and faster. The water made a nice sound as it hit the cushions. The cushions got wet and shiny. Anna and Ben laughed and clapped their hands.
+
+"Look, the cushions are like a rainbow!" Anna said. "They have many colors!"
+
+"You're right, they do!" Ben said. "They are very pretty!"
+
+They poured all the water from the jug and admired their waterfall. They felt very cheerful and proud of their creation.
+
+But then they heard a voice from the kitchen. It was Mom.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What are you doing? Why is there water everywhere?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They realized they had made a big mess. They felt very sorry and scared.
+
+"Uh-oh," they said together. "We're in trouble!"
+Anna loves her kitten, Lily. Lily is a modern kitten. She has a pink collar and a shiny toy. Anna likes to play with Lily in her room. She lets Lily chase the toy and jump on the bed.
+
+One day, Anna's mom says, "Anna, we have to go to the store. Do you want to come with me?" Anna shakes her head. She wants to stay with Lily. "Please, mom, let me stay with Lily. She will be lonely without me."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Okay, Anna, you can stay with Lily. But you have to be good and not make a mess. And don't let Lily go outside. She might get lost or hurt. Do you understand?" Anna nods and hugs mom. "I understand, mom. I will be good and keep Lily safe."
+
+Mom leaves and Anna closes the door. She and Lily have fun in the room. They play with the toy, read a book, and sing a song. Lily purrs and rubs her head on Anna's cheek. Anna is happy and says, "Lily, you are the best kitten ever. I love you so much."
+
+But then, Anna hears a noise. She looks out the window and sees a bird. The bird is colorful and noisy. It hops on the branch and sings. Lily sees the bird too. She jumps off the bed and runs to the window. She meows and scratches the glass. She wants to catch the bird.
+
+Anna says, "Lily, no! You can't go outside. Mom said so. The bird is not for you. Come back to the bed. Please, Lily, listen to me." But Lily does not listen. She is too curious and excited. She sees a small hole in the window screen. She pushes her head through the hole and squeezes out. She jumps on the branch and chases the bird.
+
+Anna gasps and cries. She runs to the window and calls, "Lily, Lily, come back! You are in danger! The bird might hurt you. Or you might fall. Or a dog might get you. Please, Lily, come back!" But Lily does not come back. She follows the bird to another tree. And then to another. And then to the roof of a house.
+
+Anna is scared and sad. She does not know what to do. She wishes mom was here. She wishes she had not let Lily go outside. She wishes Lily had listened to her. She hopes Lily will be okay. She hopes Lily will come back. She hopes Lily still loves her. She sits on the bed and waits. She waits and waits and waits.
+Sara likes to walk in the park with her mom. She sees many flowers, birds and trees. She smiles when she finds a delicate pink flower. She picks it up and smells it. It smells sweet.
+
+But then a big dog comes running to her. It barks loud and jumps on her. Sara is scared and drops the flower. The dog bites the flower and tears it apart. Sara cries and runs to her mom.
+
+Her mom hugs her and says, "It's okay, Sara. The dog didn't mean to hurt you or the flower. He was just playing. But he should be more careful. Let's go find another flower for you."
+
+Sara and her mom walk away from the dog. They see a delicate yellow flower. Sara smiles again and picks it up. She gives it to her mom and says, "I love you, mom. You make me happy."
+
+Her mom smiles back and says, "I love you too, Sara. You make me happy too." They walk home together, holding the flower and each other's hand.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for insects. They found a big worm, a shiny beetle and a green caterpillar. They put them in a jar and gave them some leaves.
+
+"Look at our insects!" Ben said. "They are so cool!"
+
+Mia nodded. She liked the insects too. But she wanted to find more. She saw a big rock and wondered what was under it. She tried to lift it, but it was too heavy.
+
+"Help me, Ben!" she said. "Maybe there are more insects under the rock!"
+
+Ben came over and helped Mia. They pushed and pulled, but the rock did not move. It was too heavy for them.
+
+"Let's try something else," Ben said. "Maybe we can use a stick or a rope."
+
+They looked around for something to help them. They saw a stick, but it was too short. They saw a rope, but it was tangled. They saw a shovel, but it was too big.
+
+They were getting frustrated. They wanted to see what was under the rock.
+
+"Maybe we can ask Dad," Mia said. "He is strong. He can lift the rock."
+
+Ben agreed. They ran to the house and found Dad. They told him about their insects and their rock.
+
+"Can you help us, Dad?" they asked. "We want to see what is under the rock. Maybe there are more insects!"
+
+Dad smiled. He liked insects too. He followed them to the garden. He saw the rock and the jar.
+
+"That's a nice collection of insects," he said. "But be careful with them. Don't hurt them or keep them too long. They need to go back to their homes."
+
+He picked up the shovel and dug around the rock. He lifted the rock and moved it aside. He showed Ben and Mia what was under the rock.
+
+There were more insects! There were ants, spiders, snails and a grasshopper. Ben and Mia were amazed. They thanked Dad and looked at the insects.
+
+They decided to include them in their jar, but only for a little while. They wanted to learn more about them, but they also wanted to let them go. They knew the insects were happy in their homes under the rock.
+Lily and Max were playing in their room. They had a big box and some stuffed animals. They wanted to imagine they were on a safari.
+
+"Look, Max, a lion!" Lily said, holding a yellow toy. "He is big and loud. Roar!"
+
+"Roar!" Max said, holding a brown toy. "And this is a bear. He is big and strong. Grrr!"
+
+They put the toys in the box and pretended it was a car. They drove around the room, making noises.
+
+"Beep beep! We are on a safari!" Lily said.
+
+"Vroom vroom! We see many animals!" Max said.
+
+They stopped at a corner and peeked out. They saw a green toy on the floor.
+
+"What is that, Lily?" Max asked.
+
+"It is a snake!" Lily said. "He is long and slimy. Hiss!"
+
+They were scared of the snake. They wanted to go away.
+
+"Let's drive away, Max!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily!" Max said.
+
+But the box was too tight. They could not move. They were stuck.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily said.
+
+"Help, help!" Max said.
+
+They cried and shouted. They wanted their mom.
+
+Mom heard them and came to the room. She saw them in the box.
+
+"What are you doing, Lily and Max?" Mom asked.
+
+"We are on a safari, Mom!" Lily said.
+
+"But we saw a snake, Mom!" Max said.
+
+"And the box is too tight, Mom!" Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily and Max. It is not a real snake. It is a toy. And the box is not too tight. You can get out. See?" Mom said.
+
+She helped them out of the box. They felt better.
+
+"Thank you, Mom!" Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom!" Max said.
+
+Mom kissed them and said, "You have a great imagination, Lily and Max. But next time, be careful with the box. And don't be afraid of the toys. They are your friends."
+
+Lily and Max nodded and said, "OK, Mom."
+
+They hugged their toys and said, "Sorry, toys. We love you."
+
+They played some more and had fun. They imagined they were on a safari. But they also knew it was not real. They were happy.
+Tim liked to polish his pole. He had a little pole that he found in the park. It was shiny and smooth. He used a cloth and some water to make it shine more. He was proud of his pole.
+
+One day, he took his pole to show his friend Mia. Mia liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls with pretty dresses and hair. She did not have a pole. She saw Tim's pole and wanted to touch it.
+
+"Can I see your pole?" she asked Tim.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is my pole," Tim said. He gave Mia his pole.
+
+Mia held the pole and looked at it. She liked how it sparkled in the sun. She wanted to make it more pretty. She had an idea.
+
+She ran to her dolls and took a ribbon from one of them. She tied the ribbon around the pole. She thought it looked like a flag.
+
+"Look, Tim, I made your pole a flag!" she said. She waved the pole in the air.
+
+Tim saw what Mia did. He was angry. He did not want a flag. He wanted his pole.
+
+"That is not a flag! That is my pole! Give it back!" he shouted. He grabbed the pole from Mia.
+
+Mia was sad. She did not mean to make Tim angry. She thought he would like the flag.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tim. I just wanted to make it more pretty. I like your pole," she said.
+
+Tim looked at Mia. He saw her sad face. He felt sorry too. He did not want to make Mia sad. He liked Mia.
+
+He had an idea.
+
+He took the ribbon from the pole. He gave it back to Mia.
+
+"Here, Mia. You can have the ribbon. It is pretty. You can put it on your doll," he said.
+
+Mia smiled. She took the ribbon. She thanked Tim.
+
+"Thank you, Tim. You are nice. You can have your pole," she said.
+
+She gave Tim his pole.
+
+Tim smiled. He took his pole. He thanked Mia.
+
+"Thank you, Mia. You are nice too. You can play with my pole," he said.
+
+He gave Mia his pole.
+
+They shared the pole. They played together. They were happy.
+On Sunday, Lily and Tom went to the park with Mom and Dad. They saw a big bounce house with many colors. Lily and Tom wanted to play in the bounce house. They asked Mom and Dad if they could go.
+
+"Can we go, please?" Lily said.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Tom said.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and said yes. They gave Lily and Tom some tickets and told them to be careful and have fun. Lily and Tom ran to the bounce house. They took off their shoes and climbed inside.
+
+The bounce house was full of air and soft. Lily and Tom jumped and bounced and laughed. They made friends with other kids who were bouncing too. They had so much fun.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The bounce house started to make a loud noise. It was losing air. It was going dead. Lily and Tom felt the bounce house getting smaller and smaller. They were scared.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily shouted.
+
+"Mom, Dad!" Tom cried.
+
+Mom and Dad heard them and ran to the bounce house. They saw that the bounce house was dead. They lifted Lily and Tom out of the bounce house. They hugged them and said they were sorry.
+
+"It's okay, it's okay," Mom said.
+
+"We're here, we're here," Dad said.
+
+Lily and Tom were sad. They wanted to bounce more. But they were also happy. They were safe and loved. Mom and Dad took them to get some ice cream. They said they would find another bounce house another day. Lily and Tom smiled and said thank you. They still had a good Sunday.
+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to have a picnic in the park. They packed some sandwiches, fruits, and juice in a basket and walked to a nice spot under a big tree.
+
+They spread a blanket on the grass and started to eat their food. They were very happy and talked about their favorite games and animals. Suddenly, they saw a little boy sitting on a bench nearby. He looked sad and lonely.
+
+"Who is he?" Sara asked Tom.
+
+"I don't know. I have never seen him before. Maybe he is new here," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe he wants to join us. He looks hungry and bored," Sara said.
+
+Tom was shy and afraid to talk to strangers. He paused and said, "But what if he doesn't like us? What if he is mean or rude?"
+
+Sara was brave and kind. She said, "We won't know until we try. Come on, let's go and say hello. Maybe he can be our new friend."
+
+Sara and Tom picked up their basket and walked to the bench. They smiled and said, "Hi, we are Sara and Tom. What is your name?"
+
+The little boy looked surprised and shy. He said, "Hi, I am Ben. I just moved here with my family. I don't have any friends here."
+
+Sara and Tom said, "We are sorry to hear that. Do you want to have a picnic with us? We have some extra food and juice. We can share and play together."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Really? That would be nice. Thank you for inviting me. You are very nice."
+
+Sara and Tom said, "You are welcome. We are happy to meet you. Come on, let's go to the tree and have fun."
+
+Sara, Tom, and Ben went to the tree and had a picnic. They ate, drank, and talked. They also played tag, hide and seek, and catch. They had a lot of fun and became good friends.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be shy or afraid to make new friends. Be kind and generous to others. You never know who might need your help or friendship.
+Lila liked to jog with her dad every morning. They jogged around the park and saw many things. They saw birds, flowers, dogs, and people. Lila liked to say hello to everyone. She was very friendly and popular.
+
+One day, they jogged to a big map on the wall. The map showed the world. Lila saw many colors and shapes on the map. She asked her dad, "What is this?"
+
+Her dad said, "This is the world, Lila. The world is where we live. There are many places and people in the world. Some places are near and some are far. Some people are like us and some are different. But we can all be friends."
+
+Lila nodded and smiled. She said, "I want to see the world, dad. I want to jog to all the places and meet all the people. Can we do that?"
+
+Her dad hugged her and said, "Maybe one day, Lila. Maybe one day. But for now, let's jog back home and have some breakfast. I love you, Lila."
+
+Lila said, "I love you too, dad. And I love the world."
+Ben and Lily liked to gather rocks. They had a big box full of rocks of different shapes and colors. They liked to look at them and make patterns with them. Sometimes they pretended they were jewels or planets or animals.
+
+On Wednesday, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pile of rocks near the pond. They ran to it and started to pick up the ones they liked. They found some shiny ones, some smooth ones, some spiky ones. They were very happy.
+
+"Look, mom, look what we found!" they shouted.
+
+Mom came over and smiled. She saw that the pile of rocks was not just rocks. It was a funny sculpture that someone had made. It had a head, a body, arms, legs, and even a hat. The rocks were glued together with mud and grass.
+
+"Wow, that's very creative," mom said. "But I don't think you can take those rocks. They belong to the sculpture. Maybe you can find some other rocks to add to your box."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at the sculpture. They saw that it had a funny face. It had two big eyes, a long nose, and a wide mouth. They thought it was funny and silly. They laughed.
+
+"OK, mom, we won't take these rocks," they said. "But can we make our own sculpture?"
+
+"Sure, why not?" mom said. "That sounds like fun. But remember to be careful and not hurt yourself with the sharp rocks."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They looked around and saw some more rocks nearby. They decided to make their own sculpture. They gathered some rocks and started to stick them together with mud and grass. They made a head, a body, arms, legs, and even a tail. They gave it two small eyes, a short nose, and a round mouth. They thought it was funny and cute. They smiled.
+
+"Look, mom, look what we made!" they shouted.
+
+Mom came over and laughed. She saw that they had made a funny sculpture that looked like a dog. It had a wagging tail and a happy face. She thought it was very clever and cute.
+
+"Wow, that's amazing," mom said. "You are very talented. You made a funny dog out of rocks. What are you going to name it?"
+
+Ben and Lily thought for a moment. They looked at their sculpture and said together:
+
+"Rocky!"
+Sam and his dog Spot were playing in the yard. They liked to run and chase and fetch. Sam threw a stick and Spot ran after it. But when Spot came back, he saw something scary. There was fire in the house. Smoke and flames were coming out of the windows.
+
+"Spot, come here!" Sam shouted. He was scared too. He wanted to run away from the fire. But Spot did not come. He refused to leave the house. He barked and ran to the door. He wanted to find Sam's mom and dad. They were still inside.
+
+"Spot, no!" Sam cried. He tried to pull Spot away from the fire. But Spot was loyal. He loved Sam's mom and dad. He did not want to leave them. He bit Sam's hand and broke free. He ran into the house.
+
+Sam was hurt and sad. He ran to the street and called for help. He hoped Spot would be okay. He hoped his mom and dad would be okay. He waited for the firemen to come. He prayed for his family. He missed his dog.
+Lila and Tom were at the market with their mom. They saw many things to buy: fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and more. Mom gave them some money to buy a snack.
+
+Lila wanted to buy a lemon. She liked how it was yellow and sour. She took a lemon and gave it to the seller. The seller said, "That will be one dollar, please."
+
+Tom thought that was too expensive. He said, "One dollar for a lemon? That is too much. You can buy a banana for half a dollar. Bananas are sweet and soft."
+
+Lila said, "No, I want a lemon. I like lemons. They are fun to eat." She gave the seller one dollar and took the lemon.
+
+Tom shook his head. He said, "You are silly. Lemons are not fun to eat. They are sour and make your face funny." He took a banana and gave it to the seller. The seller said, "That will be fifty cents, please."
+
+Tom gave the seller fifty cents and took the banana. He peeled it and ate it. He said, "Mmm, this is good. Bananas are the best snack."
+
+Lila peeled her lemon and bit into it. She made a funny face and said, "Ooh, this is sour. But I like it. Lemons are the best snack."
+
+Tom laughed. He said, "You are funny. Lemons are not the best snack. Bananas are the best snack."
+
+Lila said, "No, lemons are the best snack. Bananas are not the best snack."
+
+They started to repeat their words. They said, "Lemons are the best snack. No, bananas are the best snack. Lemons are the best snack. No, bananas are the best snack."
+
+Mom heard them and came over. She said, "Stop, stop. You are both right. Lemons and bananas are both good snacks. You can like different things and still be friends. Now, let's go home and share your snacks."
+
+Lila and Tom smiled. They said, "Okay, mom. We are sorry. We are friends. We will share our snacks."
+
+They hugged each other and followed mom to the car. They ate their snacks and talked about other things they liked. They were happy.
+Lily liked to play with her toy gun. She liked to shoot at the wall, the sofa, and the lamp. She liked to make loud noises and pretend she was a hero. But she did not like to shoot at people or animals. She knew that was bad and hurtful.
+
+One day, Lily was playing with her toy gun in the kitchen. She saw the dishwasher. It was big and shiny and had buttons. Lily wondered what would happen if she shot at the buttons. She aimed her toy gun and pulled the trigger. Bang!
+
+The dishwasher made a loud noise and started to leak water. Lily was scared and ran away. She hid under her bed and hoped no one would find her.
+
+Mom came into the kitchen and saw the mess. She was angry and sad. She looked for Lily and found her under the bed. She asked her what she did and why she did it.
+
+Lily felt ashamed. She knew she did something wrong and made Mom unhappy. She said she was sorry and hugged Mom. Mom hugged her back and said she loved her. She said she was not mad at her, but she had to teach her a lesson. She said Lily could not play with her toy gun for a week. She said she had to help her clean the kitchen and the dishwasher.
+
+Lily nodded and said she understood. She said she would not shoot at the dishwasher or anything else again. She said she would be a good girl and a good helper. She said she loved Mom too. Mom smiled and kissed her. She said they would fix the dishwasher together and have some fun. Lily smiled and followed Mom to the kitchen. She hoped the dishwasher would be okay.
+Sara and Ben like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals on them. They try to find two cards that are the same. They call this game "match".
+
+One day, Sara and Ben find a new card in their box. It has a red and yellow animal with a long tail. They do not know what it is.
+
+"Look, Ben, what is this?" Sara asks, showing him the card.
+
+"I don't know, Sara. It looks funny. Maybe it is a snake?" Ben says, scratching his head.
+
+They look at the other cards, but they do not see another one like it. They cannot match it.
+
+"Maybe we can ask Mom. She knows many things," Sara says.
+
+They run to the kitchen, where Mom is cooking. They show her the card.
+
+"Mom, what is this?" Ben asks.
+
+Mom smiles and takes the card. She smells it and makes a face.
+
+"Oh, this is not a card, my dears. This is a rub. It is something you put on food to make it spicy. It is very hot and strong. You should not play with it," Mom says.
+
+She gives them a new card with a lion on it. She puts the rub back in the cupboard.
+
+"Here, this is a card. You can match it with another lion. And you can help me make some salad for lunch. Do you like salad?" Mom asks.
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They like salad. They also like to match cards. But they do not like rub. It is too spicy for them. They are happy to play with Mom.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch TV. But sometimes they fight. Anna is bossy. She wants to choose what to play and what to watch. Ben does not like that. He wants to have a say too.
+
+One day, their mom and dad take them to the park. There is a big fair. There are rides, games, food and music. Anna and Ben are happy. They go on the merry-go-round, the slide, the train and the bumper cars. They eat popcorn, cotton candy and ice cream. They play ring toss, balloon pop and duck pond. They win prizes. They have fun.
+
+But when it is time to go home, Anna and Ben start to fight again. Anna wants to stay and watch the fireworks. Ben wants to go home and sleep. He is tired. They pull and push each other. They yell and cry. Their mom and dad are angry. They tell them to stop and listen.
+
+"Anna, Ben, enough!" their mom says. "We have to go home now. The fair is ending. The fireworks are the last thing. You can watch them from the car. But you have to be quiet and nice. No more fighting. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They are sorry. They hug their mom and dad. They say sorry to each other. They get in the car. They buckle up. They look out the window. They see the fireworks. They are bright and loud and pretty. They make shapes and colors in the sky. Anna and Ben smile. They hold hands. They watch the fireworks. They say wow. They are happy. The end.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. They have a big red ball and a small blue bike. They also have a dog named Spot. Spot is very fast and likes to chase the ball and the bike.
+
+One day, they go to the park and see a big pine tree. The pine tree has many green needles and brown cones. Lily and Tom want to touch the pine tree, but mom and dad say no. They say the pine tree is too big and too far. They say they have to go home soon.
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They want to play with the pine tree. They have an idea. They ask mom and dad if they can delay going home. They say they want to play a little more. They say they will be good and listen.
+
+Mom and dad think for a moment. They see that Lily and Tom are very curious and excited. They smile and say yes. They say they can delay going home for a few minutes. They say they will watch them from the bench.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They run to the pine tree with Spot. They touch the needles and the cones. They smell the pine. They hear the birds. They laugh and have fun. They thank mom and dad for letting them delay going home. They say they love the pine tree. They say they love mom and dad too.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But today, there was a big event in the park. There were many people, tents, balloons and music. Ben and Lily wanted to see what was going on.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go and look!" Ben said. He pulled Lily by the hand.
+
+"No, Ben, I want to stay here. I like the swings." Lily said. She was stubborn. She did not like new things.
+
+"Please, Lily, it will be fun. Maybe they have candy or toys or games." Ben said. He tried to make Lily change her mind.
+
+"No, no, no. I don't want to go. I want to swing." Lily said. She leaned back on the swing and kicked her legs.
+
+Ben was sad. He wanted to go with Lily. He did not want to go alone. He looked at the event. He saw a clown, a pony and a big cake. He wanted to see them up close.
+
+"Fine, Lily, you can stay here. But I'm going to the event. Maybe I'll make a new friend." Ben said. He let go of Lily's hand and walked away.
+
+Lily watched Ben go. She felt a little sorry. She liked Ben. He was her best friend. She did not want him to be mad at her. She did not want him to make a new friend. She wanted to play with him. She looked at the swing. It was not fun anymore. She looked at the event. It looked fun. She changed her mind.
+
+"Wait, Ben, wait for me!" Lily said. She jumped off the swing and ran after Ben.
+
+Ben heard Lily's voice. He turned around and saw her. He smiled. He was happy. He waited for her.
+
+"Sorry, Ben, I was stubborn. I want to go with you. Can we still be friends?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course, Lily, we can still be friends. Come on, let's go and have fun." Ben said. He took Lily's hand and they walked to the event.
+
+They saw the clown, the pony and the big cake. They laughed, they petted, they ate. They had fun. They made a new friend. They were happy. They learned to try new things. They were good friends. The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the backyard. They found a huge cardboard box and decided to make a fort. They cut out windows and a door and drew pictures on the walls. They brought some pillows and blankets inside and pretended they were kings and queens.
+
+"Look at our fort, it's so cozy and fun!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, and no one can bother us here!" Tom said.
+
+They played for a long time, until they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Rex, who was curious about the box. He ran towards it and jumped on it, breaking it apart. Tom and Lily screamed as the cardboard collapsed on them.
+
+"Rex, bad dog! Go away!" Tom shouted.
+
+"Help, help! We're stuck!" Lily cried.
+
+Their mom heard their cries and came to the backyard. She saw the mess and the scared children. She pulled them out of the cardboard and hugged them.
+
+"Are you okay, my loves? I'm so sorry, Rex didn't know what he was doing. He just wanted to play with you," she said.
+
+She tried to comfort them, but they were still sad and angry. They looked at their ruined fort and their torn pillows and blankets. They had worked so hard to make it, and now it was gone.
+
+"We don't want to play with Rex anymore! He's a bad dog! He ruined our fort!" they said.
+
+They ran inside the house, leaving their mom and Rex behind. They didn't want to talk to anyone. They felt like they had lost their best friend. The end.
+Ben and Mia were twins who lived in a small town. The town was gloomy because it rained a lot and there was not much to do. Ben and Mia liked to play with their toys, but they wished they could go outside and see new things.
+
+One day, their mom told them that they were going to visit their grandma in another town. Ben and Mia were happy and excited. They packed their bags and got in the car. Mom drove for a long time, and they saw many different things on the way. They saw big buildings, green fields, and bright flowers.
+
+When they arrived at grandma's house, they were greeted by a big hug and a warm smile. Grandma's house was cozy and colorful. She had many books, pictures, and games. She also had a big garden with a swing and a slide. Ben and Mia ran to the garden and played for hours. They felt happy and free.
+
+Grandma made them a yummy dinner and told them stories about her life. She told them how she grew up in the gloomy town, and how she moved to the sunny town when she met grandpa. She told them how she loved them both very much, and how she was proud of them.
+
+"Grandma, we love you too," Ben and Mia said. "And we are proud of you. You are very brave and strong. You left the gloomy town and made a new life here. You support us and make us happy."
+
+Grandma smiled and hugged them. "Thank you, my dears. You are very kind and smart. You support me and make me happy too. You are the best gift I ever had."
+Anna and her mom went to the big store. Anna saw many things she liked. She wanted a doll, a ball, and a book. But mom said, "No, Anna, we only have money for food and clothes."
+
+Anna was sad and angry. She saw a shiny purse on a shelf. It was enormous and had many colors. Anna thought, "I want that purse. It is so pretty. Mom will not see me." She took the purse and hid it under her coat.
+
+Mom paid for the things and said, "Come on, Anna, let's go home." Anna followed mom, but she felt guilty. She knew she did a bad thing. She wanted to tell mom, but she was afraid.
+
+On the way home, a lady stopped them. She said, "Excuse me, miss, I think your daughter has my purse. I left it on the shelf by mistake. It is very important to me. It has my keys, my phone, and my medicine."
+
+Mom was shocked. She looked at Anna and saw the bulge under her coat. She said, "Anna, is that true? Did you take the lady's purse?" Anna nodded and started to cry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, lady. I wanted the purse. It was so pretty. But I know it was wrong. Please forgive me."
+
+The lady was kind and said, "Thank you for being honest, Anna. I forgive you. But you must learn to respect other people's things. And you must listen to your mom. She knows what is best for you." She took the purse and gave Anna a hug.
+
+Mom was sad and said, "Anna, I'm disappointed in you. You should not steal. It is a very bad thing. You could have hurt the lady and yourself. You must always stay with me and do what I say. I love you and I want you to be good and happy." She hugged Anna and said, "I forgive you, too. But you must promise me to never do that again."
+
+Anna said, "I promise, mom. I love you, too. And I'm sorry. I don't need the purse. I have you and that is enough." They went home and mom gave Anna a kiss and a cookie.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral: Stealing is wrong and hurts others and yourself. You should be grateful for what you have and listen to your parents. They love you and want the best for you.
+Anna and Ben were playing with blocks in the garden. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from.
+
+"Look, Anna, I made a star with the yellow blocks!" Ben said, holding up his creation. "It is a symbol of the sun. The sun is bright and warm and makes the plants grow."
+
+"That is very nice, Ben," Anna said, smiling. "I made a heart with the red blocks. It is a symbol of love. Love is kind and makes us happy."
+
+They showed each other their symbols and hugged. They were very good friends and loved to play together.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Rex, who had run into the garden. He was big and furry and liked to chase things. He saw the blocks and thought they were toys for him. He ran towards them and knocked over their towers and houses and cars.
+
+"Rex, no!" Anna and Ben shouted. "Those are our blocks, not your toys! You are ruining our symbols!"
+
+But Rex did not listen. He grabbed the star and the heart in his mouth and ran away. He thought they were tasty and crunchy.
+
+Anna and Ben were very sad. They had worked hard to make their symbols and now they were gone. They looked at the mess of blocks on the ground and felt like crying.
+
+"Maybe we can make new symbols," Ben said, trying to cheer up Anna. "We still have some blocks left. We can try again."
+
+Anna nodded. She knew Ben was right. They could make new symbols, but they would not be the same. They would miss their star and their heart.
+
+They decided to remain in the garden and start over. They picked up the blocks and sorted them by color and shape. They looked for the best ones to make new symbols.
+
+They hoped Rex would not come back and ruin them again. They hoped he would learn to be kind and share. They hoped their symbols would last.
+Tim did not like math. He thought math was dull and hard. He liked to play with his cars and trucks and make noises. He did not like to sit and count and write numbers.
+
+One day, his mom said he had to do math before he could play. She gave him a book with math problems and a pencil. Tim looked at the book and felt sad. He did not want to do math. He wanted to play.
+
+He had an idea. He decided to hide the book and the pencil under his bed. Then he ran to his toys and started to play. He thought his mom would not know.
+
+But his mom was smart. She came to his room and saw him playing. She asked him, "Did you do your math, Tim?" Tim said, "Yes, mom, I did." But his mom did not believe him. She looked under his bed and found the book and the pencil. She was not happy.
+
+She said, "Tim, you did not do your math. You lied to me. That is not good. You have to do your math now. And no playing until you are done." Tim felt bad. He knew he did wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I don't like math. It is dull." His mom said, "I know, Tim. But math is important. It helps you learn and grow. It is not always fun, but it is good for you. Maybe you can find a way to make math more fun. Like using your cars and trucks to count and add and subtract. Or drawing pictures with numbers and shapes. Or making up stories with math. Do you want to try that?" Tim nodded. He said, "OK, mom. I will try. Can you help me?" His mom smiled. She said, "Of course, Tim. I will help you. And when you are done, we can play together." Tim smiled too. He said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." He gave her a hug. Then he took his book and his pencil and started to do his math. He decided to make math more fun.
+Sara and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat some cake. Mom had made a big cake for Dad's birthday. It was in the refrigerator.
+
+"Can we have some cake, Mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. The cake is for later. We have to wait for Dad to come home," Mom said.
+
+"But we are very hungry," Ben said.
+
+"Why don't you have some fruit or cheese instead? There are some in the refrigerator too," Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben opened the refrigerator. They saw the cake. It looked yummy. They saw the fruit and cheese. They looked boring.
+
+"Let's have some cake. Just a little bit. Mom won't notice," Sara said.
+
+"OK. But be careful. Don't make a mess," Ben said.
+
+They took a knife and cut a small piece of cake. They ate it. It was delicious. They wanted more. They cut another piece. And another. And another.
+
+Soon, they had eaten half of the cake. They felt full and happy. They put the knife back in the refrigerator. They closed the door.
+
+"Oops. We ate too much cake," Sara said.
+
+"It's OK. Mom won't find out. The cake looks fine," Ben said.
+
+They went to play with their toys.
+
+Later, Dad came home. He was excited. He wanted to see his birthday cake. He opened the refrigerator. He saw the cake. It looked bad. It had a big hole in the middle. It was spoiled.
+
+"Who did this?" Dad asked.
+
+Mom came to see. She was shocked. She saw the cake. She saw the knife. She saw the crumbs.
+
+"Sara and Ben did this," Mom said.
+
+She called Sara and Ben. They came to see. They saw Dad and Mom. They saw the cake. They felt scared.
+
+"We are sorry, Dad. We were hungry. We wanted some cake. We didn't mean to spoil it," Sara and Ben said.
+
+Dad and Mom were angry. They were sad. They loved their children. But they did not like what they did.
+
+"You should not have eaten the cake. It was not yours. It was for Dad's birthday. You were selfish. You were naughty. You have to learn to share and to wait," Mom said.
+
+"You have to say sorry to Dad. You have to make a new cake for him. You have to help Mom in the kitchen. You have to go to bed early. You have to promise to never do this again," Dad said.
+
+Sara and Ben said sorry to Dad. They said sorry to Mom. They helped Mom make a new cake. They went to bed early. They promised to never do this again.
+
+They learned their lesson. They felt sorry. They hoped Dad and Mom would forgive them. They hoped the new cake would be fine.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room at night. They have many toys and books and games. They are lively and happy.
+
+One night, they hear a noise outside. They look out the window and see a big, bright star. It is very pretty. It blinks at them.
+
+"Hello, star!" Lila says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+"Yes, please!" the star says. "I am lonely in the sky. Can I come in?"
+
+Lila and Ben are surprised. They have never talked to a star before. They open the window and let the star in. The star is warm and soft and sparkly.
+
+The star plays with Lila and Ben. They show him their toys and books and games. They have fun. The star tells them stories about the sky and the other stars. They listen and learn.
+
+Soon, it is time for bed. Lila and Ben are sleepy. They hug the star and thank him for playing with them.
+
+"Good night, star!" they say. "We hope you come back soon!"
+
+"Good night, Lila and Ben!" the star says. "You are very kind and friendly. I will come back soon!"
+
+The star flies out the window and blinks at them. Lila and Ben close the window and go to bed. They dream of the star and the sky. They are happy.
+Tom and Sue like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the boat. The boat is big and red and can float on water. They like to pretend they are sailors and go on adventures.
+
+One day, they decide to organize their toys. They want to make their room neat and tidy. They put their dolls, cars, blocks, and books in different boxes. They save the boat for last, because it is special.
+
+"Let's put the boat on the shelf," Tom says. "It will be safe there and we can see it every day."
+
+"Okay," Sue agrees. "But we have to be careful. The shelf is high and the boat is heavy."
+
+They work together to lift the boat and place it on the shelf. They are happy and proud of their work. They hug each other and smile.
+
+But they do not notice that the boat is not stable. It is leaning slightly to one side. It is not a regular boat. It has a secret button that makes it move and make noises. And the button is pressed by the weight of the boat.
+
+Suddenly, the boat starts to shake and beep. It slides off the shelf and falls to the floor. It breaks into pieces and makes a loud crash. Tom and Sue are shocked and scared. They run to their mom and dad and tell them what happened.
+
+Mom and dad are not angry. They are sorry for the boat, but they are glad that Tom and Sue are not hurt. They hug them and comfort them. They tell them that they can get a new boat, or fix the old one. They also tell them that they did a good job organizing their toys, and that they are proud of them.
+
+Tom and Sue feel better. They thank their mom and dad and say they are sorry for the boat. They go back to their room and look at their toys. They still have many toys, but they miss the boat. They hope they can play with it again someday.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. She liked to dig in the dirt and make mud pies. She did not like spiders. They had too many legs and eyes. They made her frown.
+
+One day, she saw a big spider on a web. It was black and shiny. It had a red spot on its back. Lily thought it looked cool. She wanted to touch it. She reached out her hand slowly.
+
+But the spider did not want to be touched. It felt Lily's hand on the web. It got angry. It ran towards Lily's hand. It opened its mouth. It showed its fangs.
+
+Lily saw the spider's fangs. She got scared. She pulled back her hand quickly. She screamed. She ran to her mom. She told her what happened.
+
+Mom hugged Lily. She said, "It's okay, sweetie. The spider was just trying to protect its home. You should not touch spiders. They can bite you. They can make you sick. Next time, just look at them from far away. They are cool, but they are not friendly."
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to go to camp with Mom and Dad. Camp is a place with a big tent, a fire, and many trees. They can play, sing, and eat there.
+
+Today, they are getting ready to go to camp. Mom and Dad tell them to load the car. Load means to put things in the car. Ben and Sam help Mom and Dad load the car. They load the tent, the sleeping bags, the food, and the toys. They also load their dog, Spot. Spot is happy to go to camp too.
+
+When the car is full, they say goodbye to their house and drive to camp. It takes a long time to get there, but they have fun on the way. They see cows, horses, and birds. They sing songs and tell jokes. They ask Mom and Dad many questions.
+
+At last, they arrive at camp. They unload the car and set up the tent. They make a fire and cook hot dogs and marshmallows. They eat and drink and laugh. They play with Spot and throw sticks for him. They look at the stars and the moon. They feel cozy and warm.

They say they love them too. They say camp is fun and important. Important means very good and special. They close their eyes and dream of camp.
+One day, a bird was making a nest in a tree. She worked hard to find sticks and leaves and make a cozy home for her eggs. She was very happy and proud of her nest.
+
+But then, a squirrel came and saw the nest. He wanted to take some sticks and leaves for his own nest. He climbed up the tree and started to pull at the bird's nest.
+
+"Stop!" the bird said. "This is my nest, not yours! Go away!"
+
+The squirrel did not listen. He kept pulling and tearing at the nest. He did not value the bird's work. He was greedy and rude.
+
+The bird was very angry. She flew at the squirrel and pecked him with her beak. She flapped her wings and made loud noises. She wanted to scare the squirrel away.
+
+The squirrel was scared. He felt the bird's peck and heard her noise. He let go of the nest and ran away. He did not want to fight the bird. He learned his lesson.
+
+The bird fixed her nest and checked her eggs. They were safe and warm. She was glad and relieved. She hoped the squirrel would not come back. She valued her nest and her eggs. They were her treasure.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen while Mom was busy. They saw a big cupboard with many things inside. They wanted to see what was there.
+
+"Let's open it and look!" said Lily.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" said Ben.
+
+They opened the cupboard and saw many bottles and jars. Some had water, some had juice, some had sauce. They were curious and wanted to try them.
+
+"Look, this one is flexible!" said Lily, holding a bottle that could squeeze. "I wonder what's inside!"
+
+She squeezed the bottle hard and SPLASH! A red sauce came out and sprayed all over the kitchen. It stained the walls, the floor, the table, and their clothes.
+
+"Uh-oh!" said Ben. "That's not good!"
+
+They heard Mom coming and tried to hide behind the cupboard. But Mom saw the mess and was very angry.
+
+"What have you done?" she shouted. "This is ketchup! It's for food, not for playing! You have ruined the kitchen and your clothes! You are in big trouble!"
+
+She took them to the bathroom and made them wash off the sauce. Then she sent them to their room without any toys or snacks. They had to stay there until dinner time.
+
+Lily and Ben felt very sorry and sad. They wished they had not opened the cupboard and played with the sauce. They learned their lesson and never did it again.
+Ben and Lily were playing doctor and patient in their room. Ben had a toy x-ray machine that he used to check Lily's bones. He put a big paper on her arm and pressed a button.
+
+"Beep! Beep! Beep!" the machine made a noise.
+
+"What does it say, doctor?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben looked at the paper and pretended to read it. "It says you have a regular arm. No breaks, no cracks, no ouchies. You are very healthy, patient."
+
+"Yay!" Lily clapped her hands. "Can I see the x-ray?"
+
+Ben showed her the paper. It had some lines and shapes on it. "This is your arm. See, these are your fingers, and this is your elbow, and this is your shoulder."
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Lily said. "Can you do my leg too?"
+
+"Sure, why not?" Ben said. He moved the machine to her leg and repeated the process.
+
+"Beep! Beep! Beep!" the machine made a noise again.
+
+"What does it say now, doctor?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben looked at the paper and made up another story. "It says you have a super leg. You can run fast, jump high, and kick hard. You are very strong, patient."
+
+"Yay!" Lily cheered. "Can I see the x-ray?"
+
+Ben showed her the paper. It had some different lines and shapes on it. "This is your leg. See, these are your toes, and this is your knee, and this is your hip."
+
+"Wow, that's amazing!" Lily said. "You are a good doctor, Ben."
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good patient. Do you want a sticker?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily said.
+
+Ben opened a drawer and took out a sheet of stickers. He let Lily choose one. She picked a pink heart and stuck it on her shirt.
+
+"There you go. You are all done. You can go home now," Ben said.
+
+"Thank you, doctor. You are very nice. Can we play again tomorrow?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course. We can play anything you want. Do you want to serve me some tea?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. I have a tea set in my closet. Come on, let's go!" Lily said.
+
+They left the x-ray machine and went to the closet. They took out the tea set and set it on a table. They poured some water into the cups and pretended to drink.
+
+"Mmm, this is good tea. You are a good host, Lily," Ben said.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good guest. Cheers!" Lily said.
+
+They clinked their cups and smiled. They were happy to play together. They were best friends.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs and worms. Sometimes they found shiny stones or old coins. They had a big bucket to put their treasures in.
+
+One day, they dug a very deep hole. They saw something black and wet coming out of the ground. It smelled bad and made their hands dirty. They wondered what it was.
+
+"Maybe it is oil," Tom said. "I heard Dad say oil is very useful. He puts it in his car to make it go."
+
+"Can we put it in our bucket?" Lily asked. "Maybe we can sell it and buy some candy."
+
+Tom nodded. He took the bucket and tried to scoop some oil. But the oil was slippery and heavy. He spilled some on his shirt and shoes. He felt sad.
+
+"Tom, look!" Lily shouted. She pointed to the sky. There was a big blue balloon floating above them. It had a basket with two people in it. They waved and smiled at the children.
+
+"Wow, a balloon!" Tom said. He forgot about the oil. He wanted to see the balloon up close. He ran after it, leaving the bucket behind.
+
+"Tom, wait!" Lily called. She ran after him too. But the balloon was faster. It flew away over the trees.
+
+Tom and Lily stopped and looked at each other. They were far from their garden. They did not know where they were. They felt scared.
+
+"Tom, I want to go home," Lily said. She started to cry.
+
+"Me too," Tom said. He hugged her. "Don't cry, Lily. I promise I will take you home. We just have to find our way back."
+
+He looked around and saw a sign. It had a picture of a house and an arrow. He thought it might lead them to their garden.
+
+"Come on, Lily. Let's follow the sign. Maybe it will help us," he said.
+
+He took her hand and they walked together. They hoped to see their garden and their bucket soon. They learned a lesson. They decided not to dig for oil anymore. They liked balloons better.
+Lily was tired. She had played a lot with her toys and her dog. She wanted to rest. She saw her grandpa sitting in his big armchair. He was reading a book.
+
+"Grandpa, can I sit with you?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, my dear. Come here." Grandpa smiled and opened his arms. Lily climbed on his lap and snuggled against him. Grandpa closed his book and hugged her.
+
+"Grandpa, can you rock me?" Lily whispered.
+
+"Sure, I can rock you. Do you like to rock?" Grandpa asked.
+
+"Yes, I like to rock. It makes me feel cozy and happy. And I like to hear your heartbeat." Lily said.
+
+Grandpa smiled and kissed her head. He started to rock gently in his armchair. Lily closed her eyes and listened to his heartbeat. She felt cozy and happy too. She fell asleep in his arms. Grandpa rocked her and sang a soft song. He loved his granddaughter very much.

+
+Anna wants to play with both Lily and Emma. She takes them to her tea table and sets them on two chairs. She gives them cups and plates and pretends to pour tea. She says, "Lily, this is Emma. She is your new friend. Emma, this is Lily. She is my best doll. You can share tea and cookies with her."
+
+Lily and Emma smile at each other. They like each other. They talk and laugh and have fun. Anna is glad to see them get along. She says, "Now I have two dolls. I can add Emma to Lily and have more fun. Lily and Emma are both strong and kind. They are my good friends."
+Lily and Max were very excited to go to the movie with their mom. They put on their coats and hats and zipped them up. Mom said, "Are you ready to go?" Lily and Max nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
+
+They got in the car and drove to the movie theater. It was a big building with lots of lights and posters. Mom bought the tickets and some popcorn and candy. They found their seats and waited for the movie to start.
+
+The movie was about a dog and a cat who were friends and had many adventures. Lily and Max laughed and clapped and ate their snacks. They liked the movie very much. Sometimes the dog and the cat ran very fast and the screen spun around. Lily and Max felt dizzy and held their mom's hand.
+
+When the movie was over, they clapped again and said, "That was a good movie!" Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you liked it. Did you have fun?" Lily and Max said, "Yes, yes, yes!"

+
+"Yum, yum, yum!" she says. "Sausages are good!"

+Ben does not like sausages. He makes a face and pushes his plate away.
+
+"Yuck, yuck, yuck!" he says. "Sausages are bad!"
+
+Mom and Dad smile at Lily and Ben. They know they have different tastes.
+
+"Lily, you can have another sausage if you want," Mom says. "Ben, you can have some toast and jam instead."
+
+Lily is happy. She eats another sausage. Ben is happy too. He eats some toast and jam.
+
+They both drink some milk and say thank you.
+
+"Breakfast is over," Dad says. "Time to get ready for the park!"
+
+Lily and Ben jump off their chairs and run to their room. They love the park. They put on their coats and hats and shoes. They hug Mom and Dad and go outside.
+
+They have a fun day at the park. They play on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They see some ducks and some dogs and some flowers. They laugh and run and jump.

+Ben and Mia love to swim in the sea. They have a big boat with their mom and dad. They like to see the fish and the shells and the waves.
+
+One day, they see a dolphin. The dolphin is very big and gray and has a smile. The dolphin jumps out of the water and makes a noise. Ben and Mia clap their hands and laugh.
+
+"Hello, dolphin!" Ben says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The dolphin nods and swims closer to the boat. Ben and Mia put on their life jackets and jump into the water. They hold hands and swim with the dolphin. The dolphin is very fast and gentle. He lets them touch his skin and his fin. He makes funny sounds and splashes them with his tail.
+
+They have a lot of fun with the dolphin. They forget about the time. Mom and dad watch them from the boat. They smile and take pictures.
+
+"Ben, Mia, it's time to finish!" mom calls. "We have to go back to the shore."
+
+Ben and Mia are sad. They don't want to leave the dolphin. They hug him and say goodbye.
+
+"Thank you, dolphin!" Mia says. "You are very nice and fun. We hope to see you again."
+
+The dolphin nods and waves his fin. He makes a noise that sounds like "bye". He swims away and jumps out of the water one last time.
+
+Ben and Mia climb back to the boat. They are wet and happy. They tell mom and dad about their adventure with the dolphin.
+
+"You are very lucky, Ben and Mia," dad says. "You made a new friend today. The dolphin is very smart and friendly. He kept you safe in the water."

+Tim and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run, jump, slide and swing. One day, they saw a big net on the grass. It was soft and shiny.
+
+"Look, a net!" Tim said. "Let's play with it!"
+
+Lily was not sure. She saw a sign near the net. It had a picture of a bee and a red cross. She could not read the words, but she knew it meant something bad.
+
+"Tim, wait!" Lily said. "The sign warns us. Maybe the net is for bees. Maybe they will sting us!"
+
+Tim did not listen. He ran to the net and picked it up. He threw it in the air and laughed. He felt like a fisherman.
+
+Lily was scared. She saw some bees flying near the net. They looked angry. They buzzed louder and louder.
+
+"Tim, drop the net!" Lily shouted. "The bees are coming!"
+
+But Tim did not hear her. He was having too much fun. He caught the net and wrapped it around him. He felt like a cocoon.
+
+The bees saw Tim. They thought he was stealing their net. They flew to him and stung him. Tim screamed and cried. He dropped the net and ran to Lily.
+
+Lily hugged him and tried to calm him down. She felt sorry for him, but she also felt a little mad.
+
+"I warned you, Tim," she said. "You should have listened to me. Now you have bumps and ouchies all over. You need to go to the doctor."
+
+Tim nodded. He was sorry too. He learned his lesson. He would never play with a net again. He would always listen to Lily. She was his best friend.

+Jen and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Jen said. "You are very popular. Everyone likes you."
+
+"Yes, you are very nice," Sam said. "But you have to be careful. The sun is very hot. It can melt you."
+
+The snowman smiled. He was happy to have friends. He did not know what melt meant. He thought it was a good thing.
+
+The next day, Jen and Sam came back to see the snowman. But he was not the same. He was smaller and wet. His hat and scarf were on the ground. His nose and eyes were gone.
+
+"Oh no, Mr. Snowman!" Jen cried. "What happened to you?"

+Sam looked at the sun. He understood. He said, "The sun melted him. He is gone."
+
+Jen was very sad. She hugged Sam. She said, "I miss him. He was so popular."
+
+Sam hugged her back. He said, "Me too. But we can make another one. And we can keep him in the shade. Then he will not melt."
+
+Jen nodded. She smiled a little. She said, "Okay. Let's do that. But first, let's go inside. My toes are very cold."
+
+Sam agreed. He said, "Yes, let's go. My toes are cold too."

+They held hands and ran to the house. They said goodbye to the snowman. They hoped he would not melt too much. They wanted to see him again.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big ladder near a tree. They wanted to climb it and see what was on top.
+
+"Let's go up the ladder!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the ladder and started to climb. They were very happy and excited. They reached the top and saw a big nest. There was a bird in the nest. It was very ugly. It had a big beak, small eyes and brown feathers. It looked angry.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Tom said.
+
+"Go away!" the bird said. "This is my home! You are not welcome here!"
+
+The bird flapped its wings and pecked at Tom. Tom was scared and hurt. He let go of the ladder and fell down. He spun in the air and landed on the grass.
+
+"Tom!" Lily shouted. "Are you OK?"
+
+Lily climbed down the ladder and ran to Tom. She hugged him and checked if he was OK. He had a scratch on his arm, but he was not badly hurt.
+
+"I'm OK, Lily," Tom said. "But that was a mean and ugly bird. Let's not go near the ladder again."
+
+"OK, Tom," Lily said. "Let's go and play somewhere else. Maybe we can find a nice and pretty bird."
+
+They held hands and walked away from the ladder. They saw a bluebird on a flower. It sang a sweet song. They smiled and waved at the bluebird. The bluebird waved back. They were happy and forgot about the ugly bird.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to feed the ducks in the pond. They had some bread and some seeds. Lily was very organized. She put the bread in one bag and the seeds in another bag. She gave some to Max and said, "We have to share with the ducks. They are hungry and nice."
+
+Max nodded and followed Lily to the pond. They saw many ducks swimming and quacking. They threw some bread and some seeds into the water. The ducks came closer and ate the food. Lily and Max smiled and laughed. They liked to watch the ducks.
+
+One duck was different from the others. It had a red bandana around its neck. Lily and Max remembered the duck. They had seen it before. It was the duck that had saved them from a big dog. The dog had chased them and barked loudly. The duck had quacked louder and pecked the dog's nose. The dog had run away and the duck had followed Lily and Max to the pond. They had thanked the duck and given it some bread and seeds. They had tied the red bandana around its neck to make it look cool.
+
+The duck with the red bandana saw Lily and Max. It quacked happily and swam to them. It nuzzled their hands and ate some bread and seeds. Lily and Max hugged the duck and said, "You are our friend. We remember you. You are brave and kind."

+
+"Oh no, what will happen now?" Lila asks.
+
+"Don't worry, maybe the rain will stop soon and the game will continue," their dad says.
+
+They wait under a big umbrella and hope for the best. They talk about the game and what they liked and disliked. They also talk about how they can improve their own soccer skills.
+
+"I want to learn how to dribble better and pass the ball to you," Lila says.
+
+"I want to learn how to shoot harder and score more goals," Ben says.
+
+They agree to practice more and help each other. They also agree to have fun and enjoy the game.
+
+After a while, the rain stops and the sun comes out. The grass is still wet, but not as muddy. The game resumes and the players are ready to play again. The stadium is loud and happy again.

+
+"Spot, what's wrong?" Ben asks. He tries to pet Spot, but Spot does not wag his tail. "Lily, I think Spot is sick. We need to take him to the veterinarian."
+
+Lily nods. She is worried about Spot too. She helps Ben put Spot in the car. They drive to the veterinarian's office. The veterinarian is a nice lady who wears a white coat and a stethoscope. She smiles at Ben and Lily.
+
+"Hello, I'm Dr. Lee. What's your dog's name?" she asks.
+
+"His name is Spot. He is our best friend. But he is sick. He does not want to play or eat. Can you help him?" Ben says.
+
+"Of course, I can help him. Let me take a look at him." Dr. Lee says. She examines Spot and listens to his heart. She gives him a shot and some medicine. She tells Ben and Lily that Spot has a stomach ache and needs to rest. She also tells them to give him some water and bland food.
+
+"Spot will be fine in a few days. He just ate something bad. But he is a strong and brave dog. You are good owners for bringing him here." Dr. Lee says.
+
+"Thank you, Dr. Lee. You are a good veterinarian. We love Spot very much. We will take good care of him." Lily says.
+
+Ben and Lily hug Spot and thank Dr. Lee. They take Spot back to the car and drive home. Spot is still sleepy, but he looks happier. He licks Ben and Lily's faces and wags his tail. Ben and Lily are happy too. They know that Spot will get better soon. They are a happy family.
+Tom and Lily wanted to play in the river, but they did not have a boat. They saw some big sticks and leaves on the ground. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's make a raft!" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, let's make a raft!" Lily agreed.
+
+They worked hard to tie the sticks together with vines. They put some leaves on top to make it soft. They were very proud of their raft.
+
+They pushed their raft into the water and climbed on. They used sticks to paddle. They had fun going up and down the river.
+
+But then they saw a big rock in the water. It was too late to stop. Their raft hit the rock and broke into pieces. Tom and Lily fell into the water. They were wet and scared.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cried.
+
+Their mom and dad heard them and ran to the river. They pulled them out of the water and hugged them.
+
+"Are you okay?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, we are okay," Tom said.
+
+"What were you doing?" dad asked.
+
+"We were making a raft," Lily said.
+
+"A raft? That was a crazy idea!" dad said.
+
+"Sorry, dad," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They learned their lesson. They never made a raft again. They played with their toys instead.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with blocks and books. They pretended to drive their cars to different places.
+
+One day, Tom had a new car. It was big and red and shiny. He was very proud of it. He wanted to show it to Lily. He said, "Look, Lily, this is my new car. It is the best car ever. It can go very fast and make loud noises."
+
+Lily looked at Tom's new car. She thought it was nice, but she liked her own cars better. She had a small and yellow and cute car. She said, "Your car is nice, Tom, but I like my car more. It can go very slow and make soft noises. It is the best car ever."
+
+Tom and Lily started to argue. They both thought their car was the best. They did not want to share or play together. They were stubborn. They drove their cars away from each other.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Tom's big and red and shiny car crashed into Lily's small and yellow and cute car. There was a loud bang and a lot of smoke. Both cars were broken. They were a wreck.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad and scared. They looked at their wrecked cars. They wished they had not argued. They wished they had played nicely. They said, "We are sorry, Tom. We are sorry, Lily. Can we be friends again?"
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to share and play together. They used their blocks and books to fix their cars. They learned a lesson. They had fun.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bush with many blueberries. They are hungry and want to eat some.
+
+"Look, blueberries!" Tom says. "Let's pick some and eat them."
+
+"OK, but be careful. Some are sour and some are sweet." Anna says.
+
+They go to the bush and start to pick the blueberries. They put them in a basket. They open their mouths and eat some. Some are sour and make them scrunch their faces. Some are sweet and make them smile.
+
+"Yum, this one is sweet!" Tom says.
+
+"Yuck, this one is sour!" Anna says.
+
+They laugh and eat more. They find a big blueberry that is bigger than their noses. They want to share it.
+
+"Let's open it and see what is inside." Tom says.
+
+"Maybe it is a surprise." Anna says.
+
+They open the big blueberry. But there is nothing inside. It is just a hollow shell.
+
+"Aw, there is nothing inside. It is a silly blueberry." Tom says.
+
+"It is a trick blueberry. It fooled us." Anna says.
+
+They laugh and throw the silly blueberry away. They eat more sweet blueberries and are happy. They have fun in the park.
+Sara and Tom like to play hide and seek. They take turns to hide and seek in the park. Sara is good at hiding. She can find shapes that look like her. She can hide behind a tree, a bush, or a rock. Tom is good at seeking. He can run fast and look everywhere. He can hear Sara giggle when he is close.
+
+One day, they play hide and seek in the park. Sara hides behind a big rock. She thinks Tom will not find her. She waits and waits. She hears Tom call her name. "Sara, where are you? I can't find you!" Sara smiles. She is quiet. She wants to surprise Tom.
+
+But then, she hears a loud noise. She sees a big dog. The dog is angry. It barks and growls. It runs towards Sara. Sara is scared. She screams. "Tom, help me! There is a dog!" Tom hears Sara. He sees the dog. He runs to Sara. He picks up a stick. He waves the stick at the dog. "Go away, dog! Leave Sara alone!" The dog is afraid. It runs away.
+
+Tom hugs Sara. He asks her. "Are you okay, Sara? Did the dog hurt you?" Sara shakes her head. She says. "No, Tom. I am okay. The dog did not hurt me. But it scared me. Thank you, Tom. You are brave. You saved me." Tom smiles. He says. "You are welcome, Sara. You are my friend. I will always help you. Come on, let's go home. We can play hide and seek another day." Sara nods. She says. "Okay, Tom. Let's go home. You are my friend too. I am glad you found me." They hold hands. They walk home. They are happy.
+Tom and Mia were in the classroom with their teacher, Miss Lee. They liked to draw on the blackboard with colorful chalks. Tom drew a big sun and Mia drew a pretty flower.
+
+"Look, Miss Lee, we made a picture for you!" they said.
+
+Miss Lee smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom and Mia, your picture is very nice. But it is time to clean the blackboard now. Can you help me?"
+
+Tom and Mia nodded and took the eraser. They started to wipe the blackboard from the top. But the eraser was old and worn out. It split in two pieces and fell on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom and Mia said. "The eraser is broken!"
+
+Miss Lee came over and saw the split eraser. She said, "Don't worry, Tom and Mia, it is not your fault. The eraser was very old. I have a new one in my desk. Wait here, I will get it for you."
+
+She went to her desk and opened the drawer. She took out an enormous eraser that was bigger than her hand. She brought it to Tom and Mia and said, "Look, this is a new eraser. It is very big and soft. You can use it to clean the blackboard."
+
+Tom and Mia were amazed by the enormous eraser. They said, "Wow, Miss Lee, this eraser is so big! Can we try it?"
+
+Miss Lee said, "Of course, you can. But be careful, it is heavy. You can share it and take turns."
+
+Tom and Mia took the enormous eraser and wiped the blackboard together. They had fun and made the blackboard shiny and clean. They thanked Miss Lee for the new eraser and gave her a hug. Miss Lee said, "You are very welcome, Tom and Mia. You are very good helpers. I am proud of you."
+Sara was sleepy. She had played a lot with her toys and her friends. She wanted to go to bed and have a nice dream. But she also wanted to finish her art project. She had made a picture of a rainbow with colorful paper and glue.
+
+She looked at her picture and wondered if it was good. She wondered if her teacher would like it. She wondered if she could make it more shiny. She saw a bottle of glitter on the table. She liked glitter. It was sparkly and pretty.
+
+She reached for the bottle and opened it. She poured some glitter on her picture. She wanted to make it look like the sun. But she poured too much. The glitter spilled all over the paper and the glue. It made a big mess. Sara was sad. She had ruined her picture.
+
+She tried to fix it. She tried to wipe off the glitter. But it was sticky and hard. It stuck to her hands and her clothes. She got more sad. She started to cry. She wanted her mom.
+
+She heard a knock on the door. It was her mom. She came in and saw Sara and her picture. She saw the glitter and the glue. She smiled and hugged Sara. She said, "Don't cry, sweetie. It's okay. You tried to make a beautiful picture. And you did. It's very shiny and special. I love it. And I love you."
+
+She helped Sara clean up the mess. She put the picture in a safe place. She said, "You can show it to your teacher tomorrow. She will like it too. But now it's time to go to bed. You are very sleepy. And so am I."
+
+She took Sara to her room. She tucked her in and kissed her goodnight. She said, "Sleep well, my little artist. Have a nice dream. Maybe you will dream of a rainbow." Sara smiled and closed her eyes. She felt happy and warm. She stopped wondering and started dreaming.
+Lily liked to draw with ink. She had a big bottle of black ink and a small brush. She made pictures of animals, flowers and stars on white paper. She was very happy when she drew.
+
+One day, she wanted to show her ink pictures to her friend Ben. She put them in a folder and went to his house. She knocked on the door and Ben opened it.
+
+"Hi, Lily! What do you have there?" Ben asked.
+
+"I have ink pictures. Do you want to see them?" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben said. He took the folder from Lily and opened it. He looked at the pictures and smiled. "They are very nice, Lily. You are good at drawing."
+
+"Thank you, Ben. Do you want to draw with me?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure!" Ben said. He took Lily to his room. He had crayons, markers and pencils. He gave Lily some paper and they started to draw.
+
+But Ben did not like ink. He thought it was messy and smelly. He did not want to use Lily's brush and bottle. He wanted to use his own things.
+
+"Can I have some ink, Lily?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, Ben. This is my ink. You have your own things. You can use them." Lily said.
+
+"But I want to try ink. It looks fun. Please, Lily. Just a little bit." Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben. Ink is not for you. It is for me. You have to ask before you take things." Lily said.
+
+Ben was angry. He did not like Lily's answer. He wanted to have ink. He waited until Lily was not looking. He grabbed the bottle and opened it. He poured some ink on his paper. But he poured too much. The ink spilled over the paper and onto the floor. It made a big stain.
+
+Lily saw what Ben did. She was shocked and sad. She liked her ink. She did not want it to be wasted. She did not want it to make a mess.
+
+"Ben! What did you do? You spilled my ink! You ruined my paper! You made a stain!" Lily shouted.
+
+"Sorry, Lily. I just wanted to try ink. I did not mean to spill it." Ben said.
+
+But Lily did not believe him. She thought he was lying. She thought he was mean. She did not want to be his friend anymore.
+
+She took her folder and her brush and her bottle. She ran out of Ben's room. She ran out of Ben's house. She ran back to her house. She was crying.
+
+She went to her room. She put her things on her desk. She looked at her ink pictures. She remembered how happy she was when she drew them. She wished she had not shown them to Ben. She wished she had not gone to his house. She wished she had a better friend.
+
+She felt a mysterious feeling in her chest. It was like a big hole. It hurt. She did not know what it was. She did not like it. She wanted it to go away.
+
+She hugged her ink pictures. She hoped they would make her feel better. She hoped she would find a friend who liked ink as much as she did. She hoped she would be happy again.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their new puzzle. It had many pieces and a picture of a fairy garden. They wanted to solve the puzzle and see the whole picture.
+
+But they had a problem. Some of the pieces were very delicate and easy to break. They had to handle them with care. Lily was good at handling delicate things. She was gentle and patient. Ben was not. He was rough and fast. He wanted to finish the puzzle quickly.
+
+"Ben, stop!" Lily said. "You are breaking the pieces. Look, this one has a tear. And this one has a dent. You have to be more careful."
+
+"I don't care," Ben said. "I just want to solve the puzzle. It's too hard and boring. Let me try this piece. Maybe it fits here."
+
+He pushed the piece hard into the wrong spot. It snapped in half. Lily gasped.
+
+"Ben, you ruined it!" she cried. "Now we can't solve the puzzle. You are mean and selfish. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+She grabbed the puzzle box and ran to her room. Ben felt bad. He didn't mean to break the puzzle. He just wanted to have fun. He wished he could say sorry to Lily and make her happy again.
+
+He thought of an idea. He went to his room and found some glue and tape. He tried to fix the broken pieces as best as he could. He hoped Lily would like it.
+
+He knocked on her door and said, "Lily, can I come in? I have something for you."
+
+Lily opened the door. She saw Ben holding the puzzle. It was not perfect, but it was better than before. She saw that he had tried to mend the pieces.
+
+"Ben, what is this?" she asked.
+
+"I fixed the puzzle," he said. "I'm sorry I broke it. I was wrong. I should have been more careful. I want to solve it with you. Will you forgive me?"
+
+Lily smiled. She saw that Ben was sorry and that he had done something nice. She forgave him.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," she said. "That was very kind of you. I forgive you. Come on, let's solve the puzzle together. We can do it if we handle it with care."
+
+They hugged and went to the living room. They put the puzzle on the table and started to solve it. They worked as a team and had fun. They solved the puzzle and saw the beautiful fairy garden. They were happy and proud. They learned to handle delicate things and to solve problems.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll that she loved very much. She gave her doll a name, a dress and a hat. Ben had a car that he liked to zoom around the floor. He made noises with his mouth as he drove his car.
+
+"Look at my doll, Ben. She is so pretty and nice. I value her a lot. She is my best friend," Lily said, holding her doll close to her chest.
+
+"Look at my car, Lily. It is so fast and cool. I value it a lot. It is my best toy," Ben said, showing his car to Lily.
+
+They looked at each other's toys and smiled. They both thought their toys were brilliant. They decided to share their toys and play together. Lily let Ben hold her doll and Ben let Lily drive his car.
+
+"Your doll is very soft and sweet, Lily. Thank you for letting me hold her," Ben said, gently touching the doll's hair.
+
+"Your car is very fun and shiny, Ben. Thank you for letting me drive it," Lily said, turning the car's wheels.
+
+They hugged each other and laughed. They were happy to have their toys and each other. They learned that sharing is a good way to show that they value their friends. They also learned that different toys can have different points. Some toys can be pretty and nice, and some toys can be fast and cool. But all toys can be brilliant if they make someone happy.
+Tommy loved to play with his toy alligator. He named it Ally and he took it everywhere. He brought it to the park, to the store, to the bath. He hugged it and kissed it and talked to it. He was very happy with his toy alligator.
+
+But one day, Tommy saw a big, real alligator at the zoo. It was green and scaly and had sharp teeth. It looked like his toy, but much bigger and scarier. Tommy wanted to have the real alligator as his pet. He thought it would be more fun than his toy. He asked his mom to bring him the real alligator.
+
+His mom said no. She said the real alligator was not a pet. She said it was wild and dangerous and belonged in the zoo. She said Tommy should be happy with his toy alligator, which was safe and soft and loved him. She said Tommy was spoiled and ungrateful.
+
+Tommy was angry. He threw his toy alligator on the ground and stomped his feet. He cried and screamed and said he hated his toy alligator. He said he only wanted the real alligator. He said his mom was mean and stupid.
+
+His mom was sad. She picked up his toy alligator and put it in her bag. She said Tommy had to learn to be nice and respectful. She said he could not have his toy alligator back until he said sorry and thanked her. She said he had to understand that he could not have everything he wanted. She said she loved him, but he had to behave.
+
+Tommy was sorry. He realized he had been rude and selfish. He missed his toy alligator. He wished he had not thrown it away. He said sorry to his mom and thanked her for his toy alligator. He said he loved his toy alligator and his mom. He said he did not want the real alligator anymore.
+
+His mom was happy. She hugged him and kissed him and said she forgave him. She gave him his toy alligator back and said he could play with it again. She said she was proud of him for being honest and kind. She said she loved him, and he loved her. They went home and played with his toy alligator. They were very happy.
+Lily liked to play outside with her toys. She had a ball, a doll, a car and a bear. She made them talk and have fun. But one day, the sky was dark and it started to rain. Lily did not like the rain. It made her wet and cold. She ran inside with her toys.
+
+Mommy was in the shower. She saw Lily and smiled. She said, "You are wet, Lily. You need a shower too. Come here and I will help you." Lily did not want a shower. She did not like the water on her head. She said, "No, Mommy. I want to play."
+
+Mommy said, "But you are dirty, Lily. The rain made you dirty. You need to be clean. A shower will make you clean and warm. It will be fun. Look, I have a duck for you. The duck likes the shower. Quack, quack!" She showed Lily a yellow duck. Lily liked the duck. She said, "Can I play with the duck?"
+
+Mommy said, "Yes, you can. But you have to come in the shower with me. The duck needs a friend. You can be his friend. He will make you laugh. Quack, quack!" She made the duck talk and splash. Lily laughed. She said, "OK, Mommy. I will come in the shower with you and the duck. But I want my bear too. He is wet and cold. He needs a shower too."
+
+Mommy said, "OK, Lily. You can bring your bear. He can be the duck's friend too. You are very clever, Lily. You know how to take care of your toys. Come on, let's go in the shower. It will be fun. Quack, quack!" She took Lily and her bear in the shower. They played with the duck and the water. They made bubbles and sang songs. They were clean and warm and happy. Lily liked the shower. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. Thank you, duck. You made the rain fun."
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big door with a lock on it. They wanted to know what was behind the door.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben said.
+
+"But we don't have a key," Sara said.
+
+"Maybe we can find one," Ben said. He looked around the park. He saw a shiny thing on the ground. He picked it up. It was a key.
+
+"Look, Sara, I found a key!" Ben said. He ran to the door. He put the key in the lock. He turned it. The door opened.
+
+Sara and Ben went inside. It was dark and cold. They saw a lot of ugly things. There were spiders and rats and broken toys. There was a bad smell.
+
+"Yuck, this is scary!" Sara said.
+
+"Let's go out," Ben said.
+
+They turned around. But the door was closed. The lock was on the other side. They were trapped.
+
+"Help, help!" Sara and Ben shouted.
+
+They heard a voice. It was an old man. He was behind the door.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the old man asked.
+
+"We are Sara and Ben. We were playing in the park. We found a key. We opened the door. We wanted to see what was inside. But now we can't get out. Please, let us out!" Sara and Ben said.
+
+The old man was angry. He did not like children. He did not like anyone. He lived alone with his ugly things.
+
+"This is my place. You have no right to be here. You are naughty children. You should not touch things that are not yours. You should not open doors that are locked. You should stay away from me. Now you will stay here forever!" the old man said.
+
+He laughed. He did not care if Sara and Ben were scared or sad. He did not care if they cried or begged.
+
+Sara and Ben did not know what to do. They hugged each other. They hoped someone would find them. They hoped the old man would change his mind.
+
+They looked at the door. They saw a small hole. They saw a light. They saw a face.
+
+It was their mom. She had heard their shouts. She had followed the sound. She had seen the door. She had seen the lock. She had seen the key.
+
+She had taken the key. She had opened the door. She had found Sara and Ben.
+
+She was happy. She was relieved. She was angry.
+
+She took Sara and Ben in her arms. She kissed them. She scolded them.
+
+"What were you thinking? How could you be so foolish? How could you go into a stranger's place? How could you put yourselves in danger? Don't you know how much I love you? Don't you know how much I worry about you?" she said.
+
+Sara and Ben were sorry. They were ashamed. They were grateful.
+
+"We are sorry, mom. We were curious. We were bored. We made a mistake. We love you, mom. We are glad you found us," they said.
+
+The old man heard them. He saw them. He was confused. He was curious. He was lonely.
+
+He opened the door a little more. He looked at Sara and Ben. He looked at their mom. He saw their faces. He saw their smiles. He saw their tears.
+
+He felt something. He did not know what it was. He did not like it. He did not want it.
+
+He closed the door. He locked it. He threw the key away. He shrugged.
+
+He went back to his ugly things. He did not want to see anyone. He did not want to feel anything. He did not want to change.
+Ben was a famous dog. He was on TV and in books. He had many fans who loved him. He liked to play and run and bark.
+
+One day, Ben went to the park with his owner, Sam. Sam threw a ball and Ben ran to catch it. He saw a big flower and sniffed it. It smelled nice. But then he felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to stop it, but he could not. He sneezed very loud.
+
+"Ah-choo!"
+
+The sneeze was so loud that it scared a bird. The bird flew away and knocked over a lamp. The lamp fell and broke. The light went out.
+
+"Oh no!" Sam said. "Ben, what did you do?"
+
+Ben looked at the lamp and the bird and the ball. He felt sorry. He wagged his tail and licked Sam's face.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. I did not mean to sneeze. It was the flower. It made me sneeze."
+
+Sam smiled and hugged Ben. He was not angry. He knew Ben was a good dog.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. You are still my famous dog. And I still love you."
+
+Ben was happy. He loved Sam too. He barked and ran to get the ball. He hoped he would not sneeze again.
+Jill and Jack were twins who liked to play in the yard. They had a big dog named Spot who was soft and friendly. Spot liked to protect Jill and Jack from anything scary or mean.
+
+One day, Mom was doing laundry and hung the clothes on a line outside. She told Jill and Jack to stay away from the laundry and not to touch it. She said the clothes were clean and wet and needed to dry in the sun.
+
+But Jill and Jack were curious and bored. They wanted to see the laundry and touch it. They thought it would be fun to play with the clothes and make them into costumes. They waited until Mom went inside and then they ran to the laundry line.
+
+Spot saw them and barked. He knew they were doing something bad. He tried to stop them and pull them away from the laundry. He wanted to protect them from Mom's anger and the dirty clothes.
+
+But Jill and Jack did not listen to Spot. They ignored his barks and pushed him away. They grabbed the clothes and put them on their heads and bodies. They laughed and danced and pretended to be pirates and princesses.
+
+Then Mom came out and saw them. She was very angry and sad. She yelled at Jill and Jack and took the clothes off them. She said they ruined the laundry and made it dirty and wet again. She said they had to go inside and stay in their room. She said they were naughty and she did not love them.
+
+Jill and Jack cried and said they were sorry. They said they only wanted to have fun. They said they loved Mom and Spot. But Mom did not listen. She dragged them inside and locked the door.
+
+Spot stayed outside and whimpered. He felt sorry for Jill and Jack. He wished they had listened to him and stayed away from the laundry. He wished he could protect them from Mom and make them happy again. He lay down on the grass and waited for them to come out. But they never did.
+Lily and Ben were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun.
+
+But then a big boy came and took their ball. He was wearing a shiny watch and a fancy hat. He looked wealthy. He said, "This is my ball now. You can't have it. Go away."
+
+Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They said, "No, that is our ball. You are mean. Give it back."
+
+The big boy laughed and kicked the ball far away. He said, "No, I won't. You are too small and poor. You can't catch me."
+
+Lily and Ben ran after the ball. They were fast and brave. They caught up with the big boy. Lily grabbed his hat and threw it away. Ben pulled his ear and made him cry.
+
+The big boy dropped the ball and ran away. He said, "Ow, ow, ow. You are mean. Leave me alone."
+
+Lily and Ben got their ball back. They hugged each other and smiled. They said, "We did it. We are strong and smart. We don't need his hat or watch. We have each other."
+
+They continued to play with their ball in the park. They were happy.
+Ben was a boy who liked to play with mud. He made mud pies, mud castles, and mud monsters. He did not like to wash his hands or his clothes. He said washing was boring and a waste of time.
+
+One day, he found a big book in his room. It had many pictures and words. He opened the book and saw a spell. The spell said it could make anything he wanted. Ben thought it was fun. He said the spell out loud and pointed at his mud pies.
+
+Suddenly, his mud pies turned into real pies. They smelled good and looked yummy. Ben was happy. He ate one pie and felt good. He ate another pie and felt better. He ate all the pies and felt full.
+
+But then, he started to feel sick. His tummy hurt and he felt hot. He ran to the bathroom and threw up. He felt miserable. He wished he had not eaten the pies. He wished he had washed his hands before touching the book.
+
+He looked at the book again and saw a warning. It said the spell only worked if he was clean and nice. If he was dirty and mean, the spell would make him sick and sad. Ben realized he had made a big mistake. He learned that washing was important and that he should not be greedy. He decided to wash his hands and his clothes and to say sorry to his mom. He hoped the spell would go away and he would feel better soon.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They observe the birds, the flowers and the swings. They have fun together.
+
+One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a young puppy. It is brown and white. It has a wet nose and a wagging tail. It is adorable.
+
+"Look, a puppy!" Lily says. "Can we pet it?"
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the puppy. The puppy is happy to see them. It licks their faces and jumps on them.
+
+"Hello, puppy!" Lily and Ben say. They hug the puppy and scratch its ears. They laugh and smile.
+
+But then, a big boy comes. He is angry. He is the puppy's owner.
+
+"Hey, get away from my puppy!" he shouts. "He is mine, not yours!"
+
+He grabs the puppy and pulls it away from Lily and Ben. He glares at them.
+
+"Go away, you little brats!" he says. "You can't touch my puppy!"
+
+Lily and Ben are sad and scared. They don't understand why the big boy is so mean. They like the puppy. They want to be friends with it.
+
+"Please, can we play with the puppy?" Lily asks. "We won't hurt it. We love it."
+
+"No, you can't!" the big boy says. "He is my puppy, and I don't share!"
+
+He turns around and walks away with the puppy. The puppy looks back at Lily and Ben. It whines and wags its tail. It wants to play with them.
+
+Lily and Ben watch the puppy go. They feel sorry for it. They wish the big boy was nicer. They hope the puppy is happy.
+
+They hold hands and walk back to the swings. They try to cheer up. They are still friends. They still have fun in the park. They still observe the birds, the flowers and the swings. But they miss the adorable young puppy.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to draw pictures with her yellow crayons and keep them safe in her folder. One day, Lily went to the park to play with her friends. She saw a big, fluffy dog and wanted to hug him, but her mom said it wasn't safe. 
+

+When Sara comes back, she sees her dog, Max, in her room. Max is licking the salt from the plate. He thinks it is tasty. He sees Lily and thinks she is a toy. He grabs her with his teeth and shakes her.
+
+Sara screams, "No, Max, no! That is my Lily! Give her back!" She runs to Max and tries to take Lily from him. But Max is strong and does not let go. He runs away with Lily.
+
+Sara cries and cries. She feels sad and angry. She loves Lily and does not want to lose her. She says, "Lily, where are you? Come back to me!"
+
+Sara's mom hears her cry and comes to her room. She sees the mess and the salt. She sees Max with Lily in his mouth. She says, "Oh, Sara, I'm sorry. Max did not know. He thought Lily was his toy. He did not mean to hurt her."
+
+She takes Lily from Max and gives her to Sara. She hugs Sara and says, "It's okay, Sara. We can fix Lily. We can wash her and sew her and make her look pretty again. She will be fine. Don't cry."
+
+Sara looks at Lily. She sees her hair is dirty and her dress is torn. She feels sorry for Lily. She says, "Thank you, mom. Can we fix Lily now? I want her to be comfortable."
+
+Sara's mom says, "Yes, of course. Come on, let's go to the bathroom. We will make Lily clean and comfortable. And we will put the salt away. It is not for playing. It is for cooking."
+
+Sara nods and smiles. She holds Lily tight and follows her mom. She says, "I love you, Lily. I love you, mom. I'm sorry, Max. You are a good dog. But Lily is not your toy. She is my friend."
+One day, Ben and his dog Spot went to the park to play. They liked to run and chase each other on the grass. Ben threw a ball and Spot ran after it. But when Spot came back, he saw a big shadow on the ground. It was a boy on a bike. The boy was rude and did not say hello. He rode his bike very fast and close to Spot. Spot was scared and barked at the boy.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouted. "You are making my dog angry. Go away!"
+
+The boy did not listen. He laughed and rode his bike even faster and closer to Spot. He tried to hit Spot with his bike. Spot dodged and bit the boy's leg. The boy screamed and fell off his bike.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Your dog bit me!" the boy cried. "You are a bad boy and your dog is a bad dog!"
+
+Ben ran to Spot and hugged him. He was not sorry for the boy. He was glad that Spot defended himself. He looked at the boy and said, "You are the bad boy. You were rude and mean to us. You deserve to be bitten. Now go away and leave us alone!"
+
+The boy got up and limped away. He took his bike and rode away. He did not say sorry or thank you. He was still rude. Ben and Spot did not care. They were happy to be together. They went back to playing with the ball. They received a lot of fun and love. They did not need a rude boy or his shadow.
+Lily and Ben went to a big restaurant with their mom and dad. They sat at a table and looked at the menu. The menu had many pictures of food. Lily wanted pizza. Ben wanted chicken nuggets.
+
+"Can we have pizza and chicken nuggets, please?" they asked their mom and dad.
+
+"Sure, you can have pizza and chicken nuggets," their mom and dad said. "But you have to eat some salad and fruit too. They are good for you."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They liked salad and fruit, but they liked pizza and chicken nuggets more.
+
+A waiter came to their table. He had a long apron and a big smile. He took their order and went away.
+
+Lily and Ben saw a big fish tank near their table. They saw many fish swimming in the water. They saw a yellow fish, a blue fish, a red fish, and a green fish. They also saw a big fish with a long nose and sharp teeth. It was a swordfish.
+
+"Wow, look at that fish!" Lily said. "It has a sword on its face!"
+
+"Can we touch it?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, you can't touch it," their mom and dad said. "It might hurt you. It is not a friendly fish. It is a dangerous fish. Stay away from it."
+
+Lily and Ben wanted to see the swordfish closer. They waited until their mom and dad were busy talking. Then they got up from their chairs and walked to the fish tank. They reached out their hands to touch the glass.
+
+"Stop!" the waiter said. He ran to them and grabbed their hands. "Don't touch the fish tank! It is very hot! It has a heater inside to keep the water warm. You might burn your fingers. I warned you!"
+
+Lily and Ben felt the heat from the glass. They pulled back their hands and said sorry. They were scared and sorry. They did not know the fish tank was hot.
+
+The waiter was nice. He did not get angry. He said it was okay. He said he was glad they were not hurt. He said he would bring their food soon.
+
+Lily and Ben went back to their table. They hugged their mom and dad. They said sorry again. They said they would not touch the fish tank again. They said they would listen to their mom and dad and the waiter.
+
+Their mom and dad said they loved them. They said they were proud of them for being brave and honest. They said they would enjoy their pizza and chicken nuggets.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They waited for their food. They looked at the fish from far away. They wondered what the swordfish would eat.
+Here is one possible story, but there are many other ways to write it.
+
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toys. They had a big jet that could fly in the air and make noises. Tom wanted to fly the jet, but Sam said no. He said it was his turn and he would not share.
+
+"Please, Sam, let me fly the jet for a little bit," Tom begged.
+
+"No, Tom, go away. It is mine," Sam replied.
+
+Tom felt sad and angry. He wanted to fly the jet too. He thought Sam was mean and selfish. He decided to take the jet from Sam when he was not looking. He waited for Sam to look at the TV, then he ran and grabbed the jet.
+
+"Hey, give it back, Tom! That is not fair!" Sam shouted.
+
+Tom did not listen. He ran to the window and threw the jet out. He wanted to see it fly in the sky. But the jet did not fly. It fell down and broke on the ground. It made a loud crash and a big mess.
+
+Tom and Sam looked out the window and saw the broken jet. They both felt bad. They had lost their favorite toy. They had hurt each other. They had made a mistake.
+
+They heard their mom coming up the stairs. She had heard the noise and was worried. She saw the broken jet and the angry boys. She was not happy. She was very mad.
+
+"What did you do?" she asked.
+
+Tom and Sam did not reply. They knew they were in trouble. They wished they had shared the jet and played nicely. But it was too late. They had ruined their fun and their toy. They had a bad ending.
+Tom and Lily are playing hide and seek in the kitchen. Tom is the seeker and Lily is the hider. Lily runs to the cupboard and opens the door. She sees a big bottle of oil on the shelf. She thinks it is a good place to hide behind the bottle.
+
+But Lily is clumsy. She knocks over the bottle of oil and it falls to the floor. The oil spills everywhere and makes a big mess. Lily is scared and cries.
+
+Tom hears the noise and comes to the cupboard. He sees Lily and the oil. He says, "Lily, what did you do? You made a big mess!"
+
+Lily says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was hiding behind the bottle of oil and I dropped it. I didn't mean to."
+
+Tom says, "It's okay, Lily. Don't cry. We can clean it up together. But next time, be careful where you hide."
+
+Lily says, "Okay, Tom. Thank you for being nice to me. Can we play hide and seek again?"
+
+Tom says, "Sure, Lily. But let's play in the living room. The kitchen is too slippery now."
+Lily likes to study poems. She has a book of poems that her mom gave her. She reads the poems every day and tries to remember them. She likes how the poems sound and make her feel.
+
+One day, Lily wants to share a poem with her friend Sam. She goes to his house and knocks on the door. Sam opens the door and says hello.
+
+"Hi, Sam. Do you want to hear a poem?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, what poem?" Sam says.
+
+"It's a poem about the moon. It's very calm and pretty. Listen," Lily says. She opens her book and reads the poem out loud.
+
+The moon is big and round
+It shines in the dark sky
+It makes the night less scary
+It smiles and says good night
+
+Sam listens to the poem and smiles. He likes the poem too. He thinks the moon is calm and pretty.
+
+"That's a nice poem, Lily. Thank you for sharing it with me," Sam says.
+
+"You're welcome, Sam. Do you want to study poems with me?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, I do. Let's study poems together," Sam says.
+
+They sit on the floor and look at the book of poems. They read the poems and talk about them. They have fun and learn new words. They are happy and calm.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was the window. They liked to look outside and see the birds, the cars, the people, and the sky. Sometimes they would open the window and wave to their friends or throw paper planes.
+
+One day, their mom told them not to open the window, because it was cold and windy. She said they could catch a cold or lose their toys. She said she would punish them if they did not listen. Anna and Ben nodded, but they did not really understand. They thought the window was fun and harmless.
+
+When mom went to the kitchen, Anna and Ben decided to open the window anyway. They wanted to see what was outside. They pushed the window up and felt the air blow on their faces. They smiled and giggled. They saw a big red truck with a ladder and a hose. They thought it was a fire truck. They wanted to see it closer.
+
+"Look, Ben, a fire truck!" Anna said. "Let's throw a paper plane to it!"
+
+"OK, Anna, let's do it!" Ben said. He took a paper plane from their desk and threw it out the window. The plane flew in the wind and landed on the truck.
+
+"Wow, Ben, you did it!" Anna said. She clapped her hands. She took another paper plane and threw it out the window. The plane flew in the wind and landed on the truck too.
+
+"Wow, Anna, you did it too!" Ben said. He clapped his hands. They took more paper planes and threw them out the window. They laughed and cheered.
+
+But they did not see that the truck was not a fire truck. It was a water truck. It was there to clean the street. And they did not see that the driver of the truck was angry. He saw the paper planes on his truck and thought they were trash. He did not like trash. He wanted to punish the kids who threw it.
+
+He turned on the hose and sprayed water at the window. The water hit the window and splashed on Anna and Ben. They screamed and got wet. They dropped their paper planes and ran to their bed. They were scared and cold.
+
+Mom heard the scream and the water. She ran to their room and saw the mess. She saw the open window, the wet floor, the wet kids, and the angry driver. She was shocked and mad.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What did you do?" she yelled. "I told you not to open the window! You did not listen! You made a big trouble! You are punished!"
+
+She closed the window and turned off the hose. She took a towel and dried Anna and Ben. She was gentle, but firm. She hugged them and said, "I love you, but you have to learn. You have to obey. You have to be careful. You have to say sorry."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry. They said sorry to mom and to the driver. They said they did not know. They said they were curious. They said they liked the window.
+
+Mom said she understood. She said she liked the window too. She said they could look at the window, but not open it. She said they could play with their toys, but not throw them. She said they could have fun, but not make trouble.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They said they would listen. They said they would behave. They said they loved mom.
+
+Mom smiled. She said she loved them too. She said they were good kids. She said they could have a snack and a nap. She said they could have a story later.
+
+Anna and Ben smiled. They said they liked snacks and naps and stories. They said they liked mom. They said they liked each other.
+
+They hugged mom and each other. They went to their bed and snuggled. They closed their eyes and dreamed. They dreamed of the window and the sky. They dreamed of the birds, the cars, the people, and the fire truck. They dreamed of paper planes and water hoses. They dreamed of fun and trouble. They dreamed of love and learning. They dreamed of being twins.
+Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new places. One day, she found a big hat in her mom's closet. It was red and shiny and had a long feather on it. Lily wanted to try it on and see how it looked.
+
+She put the hat on her head and looked in the mirror. She felt like a pirate or a princess. She decided to go outside and show her friends her new hat. She ran down the stairs and opened the door.
+
+But when she got outside, she saw a big dog barking at her. It was the neighbor's dog, Rex. He was very loud and scary. He did not like Lily's hat. He wanted to bite it and tear it apart.
+
+Lily was afraid of Rex. She ran back inside and closed the door. She heard Rex scratching and growling at the door. She did not know what to do. She wanted to keep her hat, but she did not want Rex to hurt her.
+
+She peeked through the window and saw Rex still waiting for her. She saw her friends playing in the yard. They did not see her or her hat. She felt sad and lonely.
+
+She wished she had someone to help her. She thought of her mom. She knew her mom would know what to do. She took off her hat and ran upstairs. She found her mom in the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, mom, help me!" she cried. "Rex is outside and he wants to eat my hat!"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'll take care of Rex. He's just a silly dog. He doesn't know how to be nice. Let me see your hat. It's very pretty. Where did you find it?"
+
+Lily told her mom about the hat in the closet. Her mom smiled and said, "That's my hat. I wore it for a costume party a long time ago. You can borrow it if you want, but you have to ask me first. And you have to be careful with it. It's very old and fragile."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to have fun with it. Can I still wear it and show my friends?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course you can. But first, let's go outside and talk to Rex. Maybe we can make him a friend instead of an enemy. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, mom. I want to try. I'm not afraid anymore. I'm adventurous."
+
+Her mom said, "That's my girl. Let's go then. And don't forget your hat."
+Ben and Lily liked to play with trains. They had many trains of different colors and sizes. They made a big station with blocks and paper. They put their trains on the tracks and made them go fast or slow.
+
+One day, they saw a new train in the toy store. It was very big and shiny. It had a red engine and many cars. It could make sounds and lights. Ben and Lily were very curious. They wanted to have the new train.
+
+They asked their mom and dad if they could buy the new train. But their mom and dad said no. They said the new train was too expensive and they already had enough trains. Ben and Lily were sad. They wished they could have the new train.
+
+The next day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom and dad. They saw a big sign that said "Train Show". They saw many people with trains. They saw real trains and toy trains. They saw the new train they wanted. It was on a big table with other trains. Ben and Lily ran to the table. They wanted to see the new train up close.
+
+But when they got to the table, they saw something else. They saw their friends, Sam and Mia. Sam and Mia also liked to play with trains. They had brought their trains to the show. They had the same trains as Ben and Lily. They had a blue engine and many cars. They had made a big station with blocks and paper. They had put their trains on the tracks and made them go fast or slow.
+
+Sam and Mia saw Ben and Lily. They smiled and waved. They asked them if they wanted to play with their trains. Ben and Lily nodded. They put their trains next to Sam and Mia's trains. They made a long train with the red engine and the blue engine. They made a bigger station with more blocks and paper. They made their trains go faster and slower. They made sounds and lights.
+
+Ben and Lily were happy. They had found new friends who liked trains. They had made a new train with their old trains. They had united their trains and their station. They did not need the new train anymore. They had enough trains. They had more fun.
+Tom and Anna are playing in the living room. They see an enormous telephone on the table. It is black and shiny and has many buttons.
+
+"Let's pretend we are calling someone," Tom says. He picks up the telephone and puts it to his ear. "Hello, hello, is anyone there?"
+
+Anna giggles and takes the other end of the telephone. She puts it to her ear and says, "Yes, this is Anna. Who are you?"
+
+"I am Tom, the king of the jungle. I have a big lion and a big elephant. Do you want to be my friend?" Tom says.
+
+Anna laughs and says, "Yes, I want to be your friend. I have a big bear and a big giraffe. Can we play together?"
+
+"Sure, we can play together. Let's go to the park and have fun," Tom says.
+
+They put down the telephone and run to the door. They are very happy and excited. They do not know that the telephone is not a toy, but a real telephone. They do not know that they have called their grandma, who is very confused and amused by their conversation. She smiles and says, "Those kids are so cute. I love them very much."
+Tom and Lily wanted to build a house for their toys. They had some wood, a hammer and some nails. They asked their dad to help them.
+
+"Be careful with the hammer and the nails," dad said. "They can hurt you if you are not wise."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They tried to be wise. They took turns to hold the wood and hit the nails. They made a wall, then another wall, then a roof.
+
+"Look, dad, we made a house!" Tom said.
+
+"Wow, you did a great job!" dad said. "But you forgot something. What does a house need?"
+
+"A door!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, a door. How can you make a door?" dad asked.
+
+Tom and Lily thought hard. They looked at the wood and the nails. They had an idea.
+
+"We can cut a hole in the wall with a saw," Tom said.
+
+"And we can use a hinge to make the door move," Lily said.
+
+"Good thinking!" dad said. "But you need my help to use the saw and the hinge. They are not for little kids."
+
+"OK, dad, can you help us?" Tom and Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, I can help you," dad said. "Let's finish the house together."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They were happy to have a wise dad who could help them. They worked with dad to make a door for their house. Then they put their toys inside and played with them. They had a lot of fun.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved to play outside. One day, they saw a little lamb who was stuck in a fence. The lamb was crying and trying to get free. Lily and Ben ran to help the lamb.
+
+They pulled and pushed the fence, but it was too hard. They looked for something to cut the fence, but they could not find anything. They were sad and scared for the lamb. They hugged the lamb and tried to make it feel better.
+
+Then they heard a loud sound. It was their dad, who came with a big tool. He saw the lamb and the twins and smiled. He used the tool to cut the fence and free the lamb. The lamb was happy and jumped out of the fence. Lily and Ben were happy too and clapped their hands.
+
+Their dad picked up the lamb and gave it to Lily and Ben. He said they had rescued the lamb and he was proud of them. He said they could take the lamb home and keep it as a pet. The lamb was soft and had a lot of wool. The twins hugged the lamb and felt its warm breath. They named the lamb Fluffy and took it home. They played with Fluffy and gave it food and water. Fluffy was their new friend and they loved him very much.
+Tim and Amy are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big car in the street. A man comes out of the car. He wears a suit and shiny shoes. He looks wealthy.
+
+"Wow, look at that car!" Tim says. "It is so big and nice. I wish I had a car like that."
+
+Amy nods. She sees the man walk to a store. He holds a bag. She wonders what is in the bag.
+
+"Let's go and see," she says. "Maybe he has something fun in the bag."
+
+Tim agrees. They run after the man. They are careful not to be seen. They follow him to the store. It is a clothes store. The man goes inside.
+
+Tim and Amy peek through the window. They see the man talk to a lady. She shows him some clothes. He picks some pants. He tries them on. He looks at himself in the mirror.
+
+"Those pants are ugly," Amy whispers. "They are brown and boring. Why does he want them?"
+
+Tim shrugs. He does not like the pants either. He thinks they are too big for the man.
+
+The man pays for the pants. He puts them in his bag. He leaves the store. He goes back to his car.
+
+Tim and Amy follow him. They are curious. They want to see what else he has in his bag.
+
+They get close to the car. They see the man open the door. He puts the bag on the seat. He turns around.
+
+He sees Tim and Amy. He frowns. He does not look happy.
+
+"Hey, you two," he says. "What are you doing here? Are you spying on me?"
+
+Tim and Amy are scared. They do not know what to say. They shake their heads.
+
+"No, sir," Tim says. "We are just playing. We like your car. It is very nice."
+
+The man smiles. He does not look angry anymore. He looks amused.
+
+"Is that so?" he says. "Well, thank you. I like my car too. It is very fast and comfortable. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Tim and Amy nod. They are excited. They want to see the car.
+
+The man opens the door. He invites them to sit inside. He shows them the buttons and the lights. He tells them stories about his car. He is very friendly.
+
+Tim and Amy are happy. They forget about the pants. They think the man is nice. They thank him for showing them his car.
+
+The man laughs. He gives them each a candy. He tells them to be careful and have fun. He waves goodbye. He drives away.
+
+Tim and Amy wave back. They eat their candy. They go back to the park. They play some more. They have a good day.
+Tom is a hero. He likes to help people and animals. He is very kind and brave. One day, he goes to the park with his mom and his dog, Spot. He sees a big slide and wants to try it.
+
+He climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. He is ready to go down. But then he notices something. There is a little bird on the slide. The bird is hurt and cannot fly. Tom thinks, what should he do?
+
+He does not want to hurt the bird. He does not want to miss the slide. He looks around and sees a girl with a pink hat. She is waiting for her turn. She sees the bird too. She says, "Hey, move! I want to slide!"
+
+Tom feels angry. He says, "No, you move! There is a bird here. It needs help!" The girl says, "I don't care. It's just a bird. You are in my way!" She pushes Tom and tries to slide.
+
+But Tom does not let her. He holds on to the slide and the bird. He says, "Stop! You are mean! You will hurt the bird and me!" The girl says, "You are mean! You are not a hero! You are a baby!"
+
+They start to yell and fight. Spot hears them and runs to them. He barks and jumps on the slide. He scares the girl and makes her fall. She cries and runs away. Tom says, "Good boy, Spot! You are a hero too!"
+
+He picks up the bird and hugs it. He says, "Don't worry, bird. I will help you. You are my friend." He slides down with the bird and Spot. He shows them to his mom. She says, "Wow, Tom! You are a hero! You are very kind and brave. You saved the bird!"
+
+She takes them to the vet. The vet says, "The bird has a broken wing. But it will heal soon. You did a good thing, Tom. You are a hero!" He gives Tom a sticker and a candy. He gives the bird some seeds and water. He gives Spot a bone and a pat.
+
+Tom is happy. He says, "Thank you, vet! Thank you, mom! Thank you, Spot! Thank you, bird! We are all heroes!" He smiles and hugs them all. He is a hero. He likes to help people and animals. He is very kind and brave.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play dress up with their mom's clothes and shoes. They have a big box of hats, scarves, necklaces and bracelets. They try different styles and look at themselves in the mirror.
+
+One day, they find a shiny red lipstick in the box. Anna wants to try it on. She opens the cap and rubs the lipstick on her lips. She smiles and says, "Look, Ben, I look like mom!"
+
+Ben wants to try it too. He grabs the lipstick from Anna and rubs it on his lips. He makes a funny face and says, "Look, Anna, I look like a clown!"
+
+They laugh and rub their lips together. They make a lot of noise. They do not hear their mom coming upstairs.
+
+Their mom opens the door and sees them. She is surprised and angry. She says, "What are you doing with my lipstick? You made a mess! You are very noisy!"
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to play dress up. We like your style."
+
+Their mom sighs and says, "I know, but you should not use my lipstick. It is not for children. It can make your lips hurt. And you should not be so noisy. You can wake up the baby."
+
+She takes the lipstick and wipes their lips with a tissue. She hugs them and says, "I love you, but you have to be careful and quiet. Now, let's clean up this mess and go downstairs for a snack."
+Sam and Mia were playing knights and dragons in the backyard. Sam had a big shield made of cardboard and Mia had a green scarf tied around her neck. They pretended to fight and roar and save the princess, who was a stuffed bear.
+
+"Sam, you are a brave knight!" Mia said. "You have a unique shield. It is very shiny and strong."
+
+"Thank you, Mia. You are a fierce dragon. You have a long tail and sharp teeth." Sam said. "But I will protect the princess from you."
+
+They ran and chased and laughed, having fun. But then they heard a loud noise from the garage. It sounded like a real dragon. They stopped and looked at each other, scared.
+
+"What is that?" Mia asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a monster." Sam said.
+
+They grabbed the princess and hid behind the shield. They waited and listened. The noise came closer and closer. They trembled and hugged each other.
+
+Suddenly, the garage door opened and they saw who it was. It was Dad, holding a big metal pot and a wooden spoon. He was smiling and clapping.
+
+"Surprise!" he said. "I wanted to join your game. I am the king of the dragons. Do you like my drum?"
+
+Sam and Mia looked at each other and then at Dad. They realized it was a joke. They felt relieved and happy. They jumped out from behind the shield and ran to hug him.
+
+"Dad, you are silly!" Mia said.
+
+"You scared us!" Sam said.
+
+"But you are also funny. We like your drum." Mia said.
+
+"Can we play with you?" Sam asked.
+
+"Of course. You are my favorite knights and dragons." Dad said. "Let's make some more noise and have some more fun."
+
+They all clapped and cheered and played together, making a big racket. They had a unique and wonderful game.
+Sam liked to play with his toy train. He had a big engine that could pull many cars. He also had a small engine that was very fast. He liked to make them race on the tracks.
+
+One day, his friend Lily came over to play. She saw his toy train and wanted to try it. She asked Sam if she could use the big engine.
+
+"Can I play with this one?" she said, pointing to the big engine.
+
+"No, that is mine," Sam said. "You can use the small engine."
+
+"But I like the big one. It is stronger and prettier," Lily said.
+
+Sam did not want to share. He liked the big engine too much. He did not value his friend's feelings.
+
+Lily was sad. She did not want to play with the small engine. She thought it was too noisy and boring. She wanted to play with something else.
+
+She looked around and saw a puzzle on the shelf. It had many pieces and colors. It looked fun and clever.
+
+"Can I play with this?" she asked Sam.
+
+Sam did not care. He was busy with his toy train. He said, "Sure, whatever."
+
+Lily took the puzzle and started to put it together. She enjoyed finding the right pieces and making a picture. She was very clever and finished the puzzle quickly.
+
+She showed Sam her puzzle. It was a picture of a farm with animals and crops.
+
+"Look, I made this!" she said proudly.
+
+Sam looked at her puzzle. He was surprised. He did not know how to do puzzles. He thought they were too hard and boring. He wished he could be as clever as Lily.
+
+He realized he had been selfish and rude. He did not value his friend's skills and interests. He felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+He said to Lily, "Wow, that is a great puzzle. You are very clever. I am sorry I did not share my big engine with you. Do you want to play with it now?"
+
+Lily smiled. She was happy that Sam apologized and offered to share. She said, "Thank you, Sam. That is very kind of you. I would like to play with your big engine. And maybe you can try my puzzle too. It is fun and clever."
+
+Sam and Lily played together with the toy train and the puzzle. They had a lot of fun and learned from each other. They valued their friendship and their differences.
+Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and birds on paper. She was happy when she painted.
+
+One day, she saw a tiny black dot on her arm. It was a flea. The flea bit her and made her itch. Lily was angry. She wanted to get rid of the flea.
+
+She had an idea. She took her red paint and dipped her brush in it. She tried to paint the flea. She thought the flea would be scared of the red color and run away.
+
+But the flea was not scared. It jumped and dodged the paint. It bit Lily again and again. Lily cried and dropped her brush. The paint splashed on her clothes and the floor.
+
+"Stop it, you stupid flea!" Lily shouted. "You are ruining my painting!"
+
+Her mom heard her and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily's arm, clothes and floor covered in red paint. She saw the flea hopping around.
+
+"Oh, Lily, what have you done?" her mom asked. "Why did you paint the flea?"
+
+Lily sniffed and pointed at the flea. "It bit me and itched me. I wanted it to go away. But it was too fast and too mean."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. The flea was very naughty. But painting it was not a good idea. Paint is for paper, not for fleas. Come on, let's wash you and your clothes. And then we'll find a way to get rid of the flea."
+Mia and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they find a big tree with a hole in it. They look inside and see something shiny.
+
+"What is that?" Mia asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's touch it," Ben says.
+
+They reach their hands into the hole and feel something smooth and round. It is a necklace with a pretty stone. It sparkles in the sun.
+
+"Wow, it's so beautiful," Mia says.
+
+"Maybe it's a secret," Ben says. "Maybe someone hid it here a long time ago."
+
+"Can we keep it?" Mia asks.
+
+"Sure, but we have to share it. It's our secret now," Ben says.
+
+They put the necklace around their necks and take turns wearing it. They feel happy and peaceful. They think the necklace is magic and makes them smile. They don't tell anyone about their secret. They play in the park with their toys and their necklace. They are best friends.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with paper and ink. They make pictures and words with ink. They have a big sack of paper and ink. They are happy.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia want to play with paper and ink outside. They take the sack and go to the park. They find a nice spot under a tree. They open the sack and take out paper and ink. They start to make pictures and words.
+
+"Look, Mia, I made a sun!" Tom says. He shows Mia his paper. It has a yellow circle with lines.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that is a good sun!" Mia says. She shows Tom her paper. It has a blue flower with green leaves.
+
+"Thank you, Mia, your flower is pretty!" Tom says. They smile at each other.
+
+They make more pictures and words with paper and ink. They have fun. They are comfortable under the tree. They do not see the dog.
+
+The dog is big and brown. He likes to run and bark. He sees the sack of paper and ink. He thinks it is a toy. He runs to the sack. He grabs the sack with his teeth. He shakes the sack. Paper and ink fly out of the sack. The dog is happy.
+
+Tom and Mia hear the dog. They look at the dog. They see the paper and ink. They are sad.
+
+"Hey, dog, stop!" Tom says. He runs to the dog. He tries to take the sack from the dog.
+
+"Bad dog, no!" Mia says. She runs to the dog. She tries to help Tom.
+
+The dog does not listen. He thinks Tom and Mia want to play. He runs away with the sack. He barks. Tom and Mia chase the dog. They want their paper and ink back.
+
+The end.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big box on the table. It was a gift for their mom, who would arrive soon from work. They wanted to see what was inside the box.
+
+They opened the box and found a bottle of perfume. It smelled nice and had a pretty label. Sara and Ben thought it would be fun to spray the perfume on themselves and on their toys. They did not know that perfume was hard to wash off and could make them sneeze.
+
+They sprayed and sprayed until the bottle was empty. Then they heard the door open. It was their mom. She came into the room and saw the mess. She smelled the strong perfume and started to sneeze. She was not happy.
+
+She asked Sara and Ben why they opened her gift and wasted her perfume. They said they were sorry and that they wanted to smell nice for her. She said they did not need perfume to smell nice, they just needed to be clean and kind. She said perfume was for grown-ups and not for playing. She said they should not touch things that did not belong to them.
+
+She took them to the bathroom and helped them wash off the perfume. She also cleaned their toys and the room. She hugged them and said she loved them, but they had to learn to respect other people's things. She said they could make her a card or a drawing instead of using her perfume. Sara and Ben said they understood and they would do that. They learned their lesson and never played with perfume again.
+Tom and Lily were going to camp with Mom and Dad. They had to pack their gear in a big bag. Tom put his teddy, his ball and his book in the bag. Lily put her doll, her blanket and her crayons in the bag.
+
+"Are we ready?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, we are!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+They went to the car and put their bag in the trunk. Mom and Dad put their gear in the trunk too. They drove for a long time until they reached the campsite. They saw a lot of trees, a lake and a fire pit.
+
+"Wow, this is so nice!" Lily said.
+
+"Let's have fun!" Tom said.
+
+They got out of the car and took their gear to a tent. Mom and Dad helped them set up the tent and the sleeping bags. Then they went to explore the campsite. They saw some birds, some squirrels and some flowers. They played with some sticks and stones. They got very dirty and filthy.
+
+"Look at you, you are filthy!" Dad said.
+
+"Let's go wash up in the lake!" Mom said.
+
+They went to the lake and splashed in the water. They washed their faces, their hands and their feet. They felt fresh and clean.
+
+"Time for dinner!" Mom called.
+
+They went back to the tent and ate some soup and bread. They roasted some marshmallows on the fire. They sang some songs and told some stories.
+
+"Time for bed!" Dad said.
+
+They went inside the tent and snuggled in their sleeping bags. They hugged their teddy and their doll.
+
+"Good night, Tom!" Lily said.
+
+"Good night, Lily!" Tom said.
+
+They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of their camp adventure. They were happy.
+Sam and Mia were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big red truck. The truck had a bell on it. Sam and Mia wanted to see the bell.
+
+"Can we touch the bell?" Sam asked the man in the truck.
+
+"No, you can't. The bell is for the fire. It is very loud. It will hurt your ears." The man said.
+
+But Sam and Mia did not listen. They waited for the man to go away. Then they ran to the truck. They climbed on it. They found the bell.
+
+"Look, I can change the bell!" Sam said. He pushed a button. The bell made a loud noise. Sam and Mia laughed.
+
+But the noise was too loud. It made the birds fly away. It made the dogs bark. It made the people angry. They came to the truck. They saw Sam and Mia.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing? Get off the truck!" A woman shouted.
+
+Sam and Mia were scared. They tried to get off the truck. But they slipped. They fell. They hurt themselves. They cried.
+
+The man came back. He saw the mess. He was very mad. He took Sam and Mia to their parents. He told them what they did.
+
+Sam and Mia's parents were very mad too. They scolded them. They said they were naughty. They said they had to say sorry. They said they had to go to bed early.
+
+Sam and Mia felt bad. They said sorry. They went to bed early. They did not have dinner. They were hungry. They smelled something spicy. It was pizza. Their parents had pizza. But they did not share. Sam and Mia cried more.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toy cars. They have a big road on the floor. They make noises like vroom and beep.
+
+One day, Tom has a new toy. It is a car that can shoot. It has a button on the top. When Tom pushes the button, the car shoots a small ball. Tom thinks it is fun.
+
+"Look, Sam, look at my car. It can shoot. Watch this!" Tom says. He pushes the button and the car shoots a ball at Sam's car. Sam's car falls over.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice. You made my car fall. Don't shoot at me!" Sam says. He is sad and angry.
+
+"Sorry, Sam, I didn't mean to. It was just a game. Do you want to try my car? It is sweet. You can shoot at the wall or the door." Tom says. He wants to make Sam happy.
+
+"OK, Tom, I will try your car. But only if you share. And don't shoot at me again." Sam says. He takes Tom's car and pushes the button. The car shoots a ball at the wall. It makes a loud bang.
+
+"Wow, that is fun. Your car is sweet. Can I have it?" Sam says. He likes Tom's car.
+
+"No, Sam, you can't have it. It is mine. But we can play together. We can take turns. And we can shoot at other things. Like the lamp or the cat." Tom says. He likes Sam, but he loves his car.
+
+"OK, Tom, we can play together. But not the cat. The cat is nice. And it might scratch us. Let's shoot at the lamp. It is shiny." Sam says. He agrees with Tom.
+
+Tom and Sam play with the car that can shoot. They have fun. They shoot at the lamp and the door and the wall. They make noises like vroom and beep and bang. They are friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new girl sitting on a bench. She has a big white dog with her.
+
+"Who is she?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Let's go and say hello," Ben says.
+
+They walk to the bench and smile at the girl.
+
+"Hi, I'm Anna and this is Ben. What's your name?" Anna says.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. This is Snowy. He's my dog," the girl says.
+
+"Wow, he's so big and white. Can we pet him?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, he likes to be petted. He's very friendly," Lily says.
+
+Anna and Ben touch Snowy's fur. It is soft and dry. Snowy wags his tail and licks their faces.
+
+"He's so nice. Can we play with him?" Anna asks.
+
+"Of course. He loves to play. Do you have a ball?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, we do. Come on, let's go to the grass," Ben says.
+
+They run to the grass with Snowy. They throw the ball and Snowy chases it. They laugh and have fun.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They have a new friend and a new dog to play with.
+Ben likes to watch the fish in the big tank at the zoo. He sees many fish of different colors and shapes. Some are big and some are small. Some are fast and some are slow. Some have stripes and some have spots.
+
+One day, Ben goes to the zoo with his mom and dad. He runs to the big tank and looks for his favorite fish. It is a yellow fish with a long tail. Ben calls it Sunny. Sunny swims near the glass and Ben smiles. He wants to touch Sunny and say hello.
+
+Ben puts his hand on the glass and tries to reach Sunny. But the glass is hard and cold. Ben cannot reach Sunny. He feels sad and nervous. He wonders if Sunny can see him and hear him. He wonders if Sunny likes him.
+
+Ben's mom sees him and comes to him. She hugs him and says, "Ben, you cannot reach the fish through the glass. The glass is there to keep the fish safe and happy. They need water to breathe and swim. You need air to breathe and walk. You are different from the fish, but you can still be friends."
+
+She points to a sign that says, "Do not tap the glass. It scares the fish." She says, "Ben, you can show Sunny that you like him by being gentle and quiet. You can wave to him and smile. You can say nice words to him. He will see you and feel your love."
+
+Ben nods and wipes his eyes. He looks at Sunny and waves. He says, "Hi, Sunny. You are a beautiful fish. I like you very much. I hope you are happy." Sunny wiggles his tail and swims closer to the glass. He seems to say, "Hi, Ben. You are a nice boy. I like you too. I am happy."
+
+Ben feels happy too. He hugs his mom and says, "Thank you, mom. You are right. I can be friends with the fish without reaching them. I love you, mom." He kisses her and says, "I love you, Sunny." He kisses the glass and says, "Bye, Sunny. See you next time." He runs to his dad and says, "Dad, let's go see the other animals. I want to learn more about them." He holds his dad's hand and walks away. He looks back and waves to Sunny one more time. Sunny waves back with his tail. They are both happy.
+Jill was a girl who liked to demand things. She always wanted to have the best toys, the most candy, and the most attention. She did not like to share or say please or thank you. She thought she was better than everyone else.
+
+One day, Jill saw a saw in the garage. She thought it was an adorable toy. She wanted to play with it and cut things. She did not ask her dad if she could use it. She did not listen to him when he told her it was dangerous. She just grabbed it and ran outside.
+
+Jill saw a big tree in the yard. She thought it would be fun to cut it. She did not care that it was her dad's favorite tree. She did not care that it gave shade and fruits and birds. She just wanted to do what she wanted. She started to saw the tree with the saw.
+
+But the saw was not a toy. It was sharp and heavy and hard to control. Jill did not know how to use it. She did not see the branch that was above her head. She did not hear the crack that it made. She did not feel the pain that it caused. She only saw the blood that came out of her head.
+
+Jill fell to the ground with the saw and the branch. She did not get up. She did not play anymore. She did not demand anything. She was gone. Her dad found her and cried. He wished he had stopped her. He wished she had listened to him. He wished she had been a good girl.
+
+The moral of the story is: do not demand things that are not yours. Do not play with things that are dangerous. Do not ignore your parents who love you. Do not be selfish and rude. Be kind and careful and grateful. Or you might end up like Jill.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill. They want to race to the top.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Ben says. He runs fast. Mia runs fast too. They are both happy.
+
+But Ben trips on a rock. He falls down. He hurts his knee. He cries. Mia stops running. She goes back to help Ben.
+
+"Are you okay?" Mia asks. She gives Ben a hug.
+
+"It hurts," Ben says. He points to his knee. It has a red spot.
+
+Mia looks around. She sees a man with a cart. He sells ice cream. She has an idea.
+
+"Come on, Ben. Let's get some ice cream. It will make you feel better," Mia says. She helps Ben stand up. They walk to the cart.
+
+The man smiles. He has many flavors of ice cream. He lets Ben and Mia choose.
+
+"I want chocolate," Ben says. He likes chocolate. It is his favorite.
+
+"I want strawberry," Mia says. She likes strawberry. It is her favorite.
+
+The man gives them cones with ice cream. They pay him with coins. They say thank you.
+
+Ben and Mia lick their ice cream. It is cold and sweet. They like the taste.
+
+"Your ice cream is different from mine," Ben says. He looks at Mia's cone. It is pink.
+
+"Your ice cream is different from mine too," Mia says. She looks at Ben's cone. It is brown.
+
+They smile. They don't mind. They are still friends.
+
+They sit on a bench. They finish their ice cream. They feel better.
+
+They go back to the hill. They race again. They have fun.
+Lia and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run, slide and swing. They see a big tree with many leaves. They want to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+They go to the tree and start to climb. They are careful and help each other. They reach a high branch and sit on it. They look at the sky and the clouds. They are happy.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a strange noise. It sounds like a beep and a whoosh. They look around and see something shiny and round. It is flying in the air. It is not a bird or a plane. It is something else.
+
+They are curious and scared. They watch the shiny thing. It stops near the tree and opens a door. A green human comes out of the door. It has two eyes, a nose, a mouth and two ears. But it is green and has a long tail. It looks at Lia and Ben and smiles.
+
+"Hello, little humans," the green human says. "I am Zee. I come from another world. I want to be your friend. Can I play with you?"
+
+Lia and Ben are surprised and confused. They do not know what to say. They look at each other and then at the green human. They do not know if they should be friendly or run away. What will they do?
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play and laugh together. But sometimes they fight over toys and books. One day, they had a big fight over a puzzle. They shouted and pushed each other. Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"Ben, Lily, why are you fighting?" Mom asked.
+
+"Ben took my puzzle! It is mine!" Lily said.
+
+"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Ben said.
+
+Mom looked at the puzzle. It was a picture of a shower. She had a good idea.
+
+"Ben, Lily, do you know what a shower is?" Mom asked.
+
+"A shower is where you wash and get clean," Ben said.
+
+"A shower is where you make bubbles and sing songs," Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled. "That is right. A shower is both of those things. But do you know what else a shower is? A shower is a gift from God. He gives us water to drink and to wash. He gives us rain to make the plants grow. He gives us showers to show us his love and care. We should be thankful for showers, not fight over them."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry for fighting. They hugged and said sorry.
+
+"Mom, can we share the puzzle?" Ben asked.
+
+"Mom, can we take a shower together?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom nodded. "Yes, you can. But first, you have to answer me one question. What do you say to God for giving us showers?"
+
+Ben and Lily thought for a moment. Then they said together, "Thank you, God!"
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "That is the right answer. Now, let's go and enjoy the shower. And remember, always be kind and share with each other."
+
+The moral value of the story is: Be thankful for God's gifts and share with others.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to look at the sky and see the clouds. Sometimes they saw shapes like animals or flowers.
+
+"Look, Sara, that cloud is like a big fish!" Ben said, pointing.
+
+"I see it, Ben. And that one is like a star!" Sara said, smiling.
+
+They heard a loud noise. It was a plane flying over them. The plane made a long white line in the sky.
+
+"What is that, Sara?" Ben asked, curious.
+
+"That is a plane, Ben. It goes very fast and high. It makes the white line with its smoke," Sara explained.
+
+"Can we remove the white line?" Ben wondered.
+
+"No, Ben, we cannot. The wind will remove it slowly. We have to be patient and wait," Sara said.
+
+"Oh, I see. Can we make more shapes with the clouds then?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, Ben. Let's see what we can find," Sara said.
+
+They lay down on the grass and looked at the sky again. They had fun making shapes with the clouds until their mom called them for lunch.
+Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. They make a lot of noise and have fun.
+
+But Mom is not happy. She is busy with the vacuum and the cloth. She wants to make the house clean. She sees dust on the floor, on the table, on the sofa. She says to Tom and Lily: "Please, stop making a mess. Help me clean up. Put your toys away."
+
+Tom and Lily do not want to stop. They like their toys. They do not notice the dust. They say to Mom: "No, we are playing. We do not want to clean. Cleaning is boring."
+
+Mom is angry. She turns off the vacuum and puts down the cloth. She goes to Tom and Lily and takes away their toys. She says to them: "No more playing. You have to learn to be tidy. Look at all the dust. It is dirty and bad. You have to help me clean. Or you will not get your toys back."
+
+Tom and Lily are sad and sorry. They see the dust. They see Mom's face. They do not like to make Mom angry. They say to Mom: "We are sorry, Mom. We will help you clean. Please, give us our toys back. We will be good."
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She says to them: "Thank you, Tom and Lily. I love you. You can have your toys back. But first, let's clean together. It will be faster and easier. And then we can play again."
+
+Tom and Lily nod and smile. They take the vacuum and the cloth. They help Mom clean the dust. They make the house clean. They are happy. Mom is happy. They all play together.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers that had many colors. Lily's favorite flower was the rose, because it was red and smelled nice. Tom's favorite flower was the sunflower, because it was big and bright.
+
+One day, they saw a new flower in the garden. It was blue and had many petals. They had never seen a flower like that before.
+
+"Wow, look at that flower!" Tom said. "It is so pretty and blue. What is it?"
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it is a bluebell. It looks like a bell."
+
+They went closer to the flower and touched it gently. It felt soft and cool.
+
+"Can we pick it?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, we can't," Lily said. "We have to let it bloom. Bloom means to grow and open. If we pick it, it will die."
+
+"OK, then let's watch it bloom," Tom said. "Maybe it will make a sound like a bell."
+
+They sat down next to the flower and waited. They hoped to see it bloom and hear it ring.
+
+But then, they heard another sound. It was a loud and scary sound. It was thunder. They looked up and saw dark clouds in the sky. It was a storm.
+
+"Oh no, a storm is coming!" Lily said. "We have to go inside. The storm can hurt us and the flower."
+
+They ran to the house and told their mom about the storm and the flower. Their mom said they did the right thing to come inside. She said the storm would pass soon and the flower would be safe.
+
+They looked out the window and saw the rain and the lightning. They felt sad for the flower. They hoped it would not get damaged by the storm.
+
+They waited for the storm to end. They wanted to see the flower again. They wanted to see it bloom and hear it ring. They wondered if it would still be blue and beautiful.
+Anna and Ben liked to play pretend in the backyard. They had a big sandbox that they filled with water and sand. They made boats and islands and bridges with their toys. Sometimes they pretended that the sandbox was a lake with crocodiles.
+
+One day, they found a green plastic toy that looked like a crocodile. They decided to use it for their game. Anna said, "Let's pretend that this is a real crocodile and it wants to eat our boats. We have to be careful and not let it catch us." Ben said, "OK, but how do we stop it?" Anna said, "We can use this stick as a spear and poke it in the nose. That will make it go away."
+
+They put the toy crocodile in the water and started to play. They moved their boats around the sandbox, trying to avoid the crocodile. They had fun making noises and splashing water. They pretended that they were brave explorers on a dangerous adventure.
+
+But then, something happened. The toy crocodile started to move by itself. It swam towards their boats, snapping its jaws. Anna and Ben were scared. They thought that the toy crocodile had come to life. They screamed and ran away from the sandbox.
+
+They did not know that their dad had seen them playing and wanted to join the fun. He had a remote control that made the toy crocodile move. He thought that it would be a funny surprise. He did not mean to scare them.
+
+He came out of the house and saw them hiding behind a tree. He said, "Hey, kids, don't be afraid. It's just a regular toy crocodile. I was playing with you. Look, I have the remote control. See, it's not real." He showed them how the toy crocodile worked and how he could make it stop and start.
+
+Anna and Ben were relieved. They realized that it was a joke. They laughed and said, "Dad, you tricked us. That was not nice. But it was also funny. Can we play with the toy crocodile again?" Dad said, "Sure, but this time, I'll let you control it. How about we pretend that we are crocodile hunters and we have to catch it?" Anna and Ben said, "Yes, let's do that. That sounds like fun." They went back to the sandbox and played with the toy crocodile and their dad. They had a great time.
+Lily had a loose tooth. She wiggled it with her tongue every day. She wanted it to fall out soon. She knew that when a tooth falls out, you can put it under your pillow. Then a fairy comes at night and gives you a coin. Lily liked coins. She wanted to collect them and buy a new toy.
+
+One day, at lunch, Lily bit into an apple. She felt a pop in her mouth. She spit out the apple and saw her tooth on the plate. She was very happy. She showed her tooth to her mom and dad. They smiled and said, "Well done, Lily! You can put your tooth under your pillow tonight and wait for the fairy."
+
+Lily ran to her room and put her tooth in a small box. She put the box under her pillow and waited for bedtime. She was very excited. She hoped the fairy would give her a big coin.
+
+But that night, something bad happened. Lily's brother, Max, was angry. He was angry because he had no loose teeth. He was angry because Lily had a tooth and he didn't. He was angry because Lily would get a coin and he wouldn't. He sneaked into Lily's room and took the box from under her pillow. He opened it and saw the tooth. He threw it in the trash and ran back to his room.
+
+The next morning, Lily woke up and looked under her pillow. She saw nothing. She lifted the pillow and saw nothing. She searched the bed and saw nothing. She started to cry. She ran to her mom and dad and said, "Mom, dad, my tooth is gone! The fairy didn't come! Where is my tooth? Where is my coin?"
+
+Mom and dad hugged Lily and tried to calm her down. They asked her if she was sure she put her tooth under her pillow. Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I did! I put it in a box and hid it under my pillow. But now it's gone!"
+
+Mom and dad looked at each other and had a bad feeling. They went to Lily's room and checked the trash. They found the tooth and the box. They were very angry. They knew who did it. They called Max and asked him to come to Lily's room. Max came and saw the tooth and the box. He saw Lily's tears and mom and dad's faces. He knew he was in trouble. He tried to lie and said, "I don't know what happened. I didn't do anything."
+
+But mom and dad didn't believe him. They said, "Max, we know you took Lily's tooth and threw it away. That was very mean and very wrong. You made Lily very sad and you ruined her surprise. You owe her an apology and a coin. And you are grounded for a week. No TV, no games, no snacks. Do you understand?"
+
+Max nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, mom and dad. I was angry and jealous. I wanted a tooth and a coin too. But I shouldn't have taken yours. Here, take this coin. It's yours. And please forgive me."
+
+Lily looked at Max and saw that he was sorry. She took the coin and said, "Thank you, Max. I forgive you. But don't do it again. It's not nice to take things that are not yours. And don't worry, you will have loose teeth too. And then you can put them under your pillow and get coins too."
+
+Mom and dad smiled and said, "That's right, Lily. That's very kind of you. And that's right, Max. You will have loose teeth too. And when you do, we will be proud of you. And the fairy will come and give you coins too. But for now, you have to learn from your mistake and be a good brother. And you have to say sorry to the fairy too. She came last night and couldn't find Lily's tooth. She was very confused and sad. Maybe you can write her a note and say sorry too."
+
+Max agreed and said, "Okay, mom and dad. I will write a note and say sorry to the fairy. And I will be a good brother. And I will wait for my loose teeth.

+
+"Sorry, Mom, we just wanted to play," Mia says.
+
+Mom sighs. She loves her twins, but they are very naughty sometimes.
+
+"Listen, Tom and Mia, you have to be more careful. Butter is not cheap. You have wasted a lot of money. And you have made a big mess. You have to clean it up. And you have to share your toys. It is not fair to take all the butter for yourself. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They understand. They feel sorry.

+
+"I wanted to make a tasty cake for my prince," Lily said. "But I burned it. I'm sorry, mom."
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're not hurt. But you should never use the oven by yourself. It's very dangerous. You could burn yourself or the house. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry."
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I love you. How about we make a new cake together? A safe cake. A tasty cake."

+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But they also liked to explore. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe there is a treasure in the hole!"
+
+Lily followed Tom. She was curious too. But she also saw a sign on the tree. It had a picture of a bee and a red cross. Lily knew what that meant. It meant danger.
+
+"Tom, wait!" Lily said. "The sign warns us. There are bees in the hole. Bees can sting and hurt us. We should not go there."
+
+Tom did not listen. He did not see the sign. He was too excited. He reached the hole and put his hand inside. He felt something soft and fuzzy. He pulled it out. It was a string. A string with many bees on it. The bees were angry. They buzzed and flew around Tom. They stung him on his face and his arm.

+The end.
+Lily and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They wanted to have fun.
+
+"Let's go to the park!" Lily said. "Maybe the sun will come out."
+
+"But Mom said we have to stay inside," Ben said. "She is busy with the mop. She has to clean the floor."
+
+Lily had an idea. She ran to the closet and took out a big blanket. She dragged it to the living room and threw it over the sofa and the chairs. She made a tent.
+
+"Look, Ben!" she said. "This is our park. We can pretend we are in the grass and the trees."

+
+They hugged Mom and shared their cookies and milk. They forgot about the gloomy day. They were happy in their tent.
+Anna was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She liked to look at the flowers in the garden, but they did not talk to her. She wished she had someone to talk to and hug.
+
+One day, she saw a bottle of lotion on the table. It was pink and shiny. She liked pink and shiny things. She wanted to touch it and smell it. She thought maybe it would make her feel better. She took the lotion and ran to the garden.
+
+She opened the bottle and squeezed some lotion on her hand. It was soft and smooth. It smelled like roses. She rubbed it on her face and arms. She felt happy. She smiled and said, "Hello, lotion. You are my friend. Do you like the flowers?"
+
+She heard a voice behind her. It was her mother. She looked angry. She said, "Anna, what are you doing? That is not your lotion. That is my lotion. You should not take things that are not yours. You should ask first. And you should not put lotion on your face. It can hurt your eyes. Come here. I need to wash you."
+
+Anna felt sad and scared. She did not mean to do anything bad. She just wanted a friend. She said, "I'm sorry, mother. I was lonely. I liked the lotion. It was pink and shiny. It smelled like roses. It was my friend."
+
+Her mother sighed and hugged her. She said, "I know, Anna. I know you were lonely. But lotion is not a friend. Lotion is for your skin. You have other friends. You have me. You have your father. You have your teddy bear. And you can make new friends. You can talk to the other children in the park. You can share your toys with them. You can play with them. They will like you. You are a sweet and smart girl. You don't need lotion to be happy. You just need love."
+Tom was a fish who liked to swim in the reef. He had many friends there, like Sam the starfish and Mia the seahorse. They played games and had fun every day. But Tom had a dream. He wanted to see the big blue sea, where there were many new things to explore.
+
+One day, he told his friends about his dream. "I want to swim far away and see the big blue sea. Maybe I will find a ship or a whale or a shark!"
+
+Sam and Mia were scared. They said, "No, Tom, don't go! The big blue sea is dangerous and scary. You will get lost or hurt or eaten. You have everything you need here in the reef. Why do you want to leave?"
+
+Tom said, "But I am bored here. I want to have an adventure. I want to see something new. I want to succeed in my dream. Please, let me go. I will be back soon, I promise."
+
+Sam and Mia were sad, but they loved Tom. They said, "OK, Tom, if you really want to go, we will not stop you. But be careful and come back soon. We will miss you."
+
+Tom was happy. He said, "Thank you, Sam and Mia. You are my best friends. I will miss you too. But I will come back with many stories to tell. Goodbye!"
+
+Tom swam away from the reef, towards the big blue sea. He was excited and curious. He saw many new things, like a dolphin, a turtle, and a jellyfish. He felt brave and proud. He thought he was succeeding in his dream.
+
+But then, he saw something big and dark and fast. It was a shark. It saw Tom and opened its mouth. It wanted to eat him. Tom was terrified. He tried to swim away, but the shark was faster. He wished he had stayed in the reef with his friends. He felt miserable and alone.
+
+But then, he heard a loud noise. It was a ship. It came near the shark and scared it away. Tom was saved. He saw a rope hanging from the ship. He grabbed it and climbed up. He hoped the ship would take him back to the reef.
+
+He looked around and saw many people on the ship. They saw him and smiled. They said, "Hello, little fish. What are you doing here? You are very lucky. We are scientists who study the reef. We can take you back there. Do you want to go?"
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, please. I want to go back to the reef. I want to see my friends. I want to say sorry. I learned my lesson. The big blue sea is not for me. The reef is my home."
+
+The people said, "OK, little fish. We will take you back. But first, can we ask you some questions? We want to learn more about you and the reef. You can tell us your stories. Maybe you can help us succeed in our work."
+
+Tom said, "OK, people. I will tell you my stories. Maybe I can help you succeed in your work. But please, hurry. I miss my friends."
+
+The people said, "Don't worry, little fish. We will hurry. We are happy to meet you. You are a very brave and smart fish. You had an amazing adventure. You are a success."
+
+Tom smiled. He felt happy and grateful. He thought maybe his dream was not so bad after all. He had seen the big blue sea, and he had met the people. He had learned new things, and he had helped others. He had succeeded in his dream, but he had also learned to appreciate his home. He was ready to go back to the reef, where his friends were waiting for him. He was ready to be happy.
+Anna likes to play with her toys. She has a lot of toys, but her favorite is a machine that makes sounds. The machine has buttons and wheels and a big horn.

+
+One day, Anna is playing with her machine in her room. She is having fun, making the machine talk and sing and ring. She does not hear her mom calling her for lunch. Her mom comes to her room and sees Anna with her machine.

+"Anna, it's time for lunch. Put away your machine and come to the table," her mom says.
+
+"But mom, I want to play with my machine. It's so fun and cool," Anna says.
+
+"I know, honey, but you need to eat. You can play with your machine later. Besides, your machine is dirty. Look, it has dust and crumbs and sticky spots. You need to clean your machine, or it will not work well," her mom says.
+
+Anna looks at her machine and sees that her mom is right. Her machine is not clean. It has dirt and food and juice on it. Anna does not want her machine to break. She loves her machine.
+
+"OK, mom, I will come to lunch. But can I clean my machine first? I want to make it shiny and nice," Anna says.
+
+"Sure, you can clean your machine. But hurry up, lunch is getting cold. Here, take this cloth and this spray. They will help you clean your machine," her mom says.
+
+Anna takes the cloth and the spray and starts to wipe and spray her machine. She rubs the buttons and the wheels and the horn. She makes her machine clean and bright. She is happy to see her machine sparkle. She puts her machine on the shelf and runs to the table.
+
+"Mom, I cleaned my machine. It looks like new. Can I play with it after lunch?" Anna says.
+

+Lily points at the picture and says, "Who is this?" Her mom comes over and looks at the book. She says, "This is Santa Claus. He is a kind man who brings gifts to children on Christmas." Lily smiles and says, "I like Santa Claus. He is nice."
+
+Lily turns the page and sees another picture. It is a word. The word is very long and has many letters. Lily does not know the word. She tries to say it, but it is hard. She says, "What is this word?"
+
+Her mom looks at the word and says, "This word is antidisestablishmentarianism. It is a very long and complicated word. It means being against the separation of church and state." Lily frowns and says, "I don't understand. What is church and state?"
+
+Her mom says, "Church and state are two different things. Church is where people go to pray and worship God. State is where people make laws and rules for the country. Some people think they should be separate, and some people think they should be together." Lily nods and says, "Oh, I see. But why is the word so long?"
+
+Her mom says, "I don't know, Lily. Sometimes words are long and hard to say. But you don't have to worry about them. You can learn them when you are older. For now, you can enjoy the simple words and the pictures in the books." Lily hugs her mom and says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love books."

+
+"Then how can we see the food?" Lily said.
+
+Ben had an idea. He took a flashlight from his room. He turned it on and shone it on the fridge. He opened the fridge and saw some cheese and crackers.
+
+"Look, Lily. Cheese and crackers. Do you want some?" Ben said.

+
+Sara thought the anchor was cool. She wanted to keep it. She told Ben to help her carry it to their spot.
+
+"No, Sara, we can't take the anchor," Ben said. "It is too heavy and it is not ours. Someone might need it."
+
+Sara was bossy. She did not listen to Ben. She said she was stronger than him and she could carry it by herself. She tried to lift the anchor, but it was too hard. She dropped it on her foot and it hurt a lot. She started to cry.
+
+Ben felt sorry for Sara. He ran to get their mom. Mom came and saw Sara's foot. She said they had to go to the doctor. She was not happy with Sara. She said Sara should not be greedy and take things that did not belong to her.

+Ben likes to cook with his mom. He helps her to stir the soup in the big black pan. He also likes to taste the soup and say if it is good or not.
+
+One day, mom says, "Ben, today we will make a new soup. It has carrots and potatoes and cheese. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "Yes, mom, I want to help. I like carrots and potatoes and cheese."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Good, then let's start. First, we need to wash the carrots and potatoes and peel them. Can you do that?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, mom, I can do that." He takes a knife and a peeler and starts to peel the carrots and potatoes. He is careful not to cut himself. He puts the peels in the trash and the carrots and potatoes in a bowl.

+
+Ben says, "Yes, mom, I can do that." He takes the big black pan and fills it with water from the faucet. He carries the pan to the stove and puts it on a burner. He turns the knob to make the fire.

+Ben says, "Yes, mom, I can do that." He takes a spoon and scoops some salt from a jar. He sprinkles the salt into the water. He takes a grater and grates some cheese from a block. He adds the cheese to the water.
+
+Mom says, "Excellent, Ben. You are making a delicious soup. Now, we need to wait for the water to boil. Then, we will add the carrots and potatoes and cook them until they are soft. Can you watch the pan and tell me when it boils?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, mom, I can do that." He watches the pan and sees the water start to bubble. He says, "Mom, mom, the water is boiling. It is boiling."
+
+Mom says, "Good, Ben. You are very attentive. Now, we can add the carrots and potatoes and lower the heat. We will let them cook for a while. Then, we will have a yummy soup for lunch. Do you want to taste it?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, mom, I want to taste it. I want to taste our soup."

+Mom says, "I'm glad you like it, Ben. I like it too. You helped me a lot. You are a great cook. You improved our soup."
+
+Ben says, "Thank you, mom. You are a great cook too. You taught me how to cook. I love you, mom."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Ben. Now, let's enjoy our soup together."
+Lily was a little girl who liked to visit her grandma's farm. She loved to see the animals, especially the sheep. They were soft and white and made funny noises.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big sheep with a red ribbon around its neck. It was the leader of the flock and looked very proud. Lily wanted to pet it, but the sheep did not like her. It baaed loudly and ran away from her.
+
+"Why are you so mean?" Lily asked the sheep. "I just want to be your friend."
+
+The sheep stopped and turned to Lily. It said, "You are a human. You are not one of us. You have no wool, no horns, no hooves. You are different and strange. Go away!"
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not understand why the sheep was so rude. She looked at the other sheep, who followed the leader and ignored her. She wished she could be like them, and have their soft wool and their red ribbon.
+
+She saw a pile of hay near the barn. She had an idea. She ran to the hay and grabbed some. She wrapped it around her head and body, trying to make herself look like a sheep. She stood on her toes and walked on the hay, pretending to have hooves. She made baaing noises and smiled.
+
+She went back to the sheep and said, "Look at me! I am a sheep too! I have wool and hooves and a baa. Can I join you now?"
+
+The sheep looked at Lily and laughed. They saw that she was not a real sheep, but a silly human with hay on her. They thought she was very funny and stupid. They baaed louder and louder, making fun of her.
+
+Lily felt hurt and embarrassed. She realized that she had made a mistake. She did not want to be a sheep anymore. She wanted to be herself. She took off the hay and threw it away. She ran to her grandma, who was watching from the porch.
+
+"Grandma, the sheep are mean to me!" Lily cried. "They don't like me because I am different. They made fun of me when I tried to be like them."
+
+Grandma hugged Lily and said, "Don't mind them, my dear. They are just envious of you. You are a wonderful human, and you have many things that they don't. You have a beautiful face, a smart brain, a kind heart, and a big imagination. You can do anything you want, and be anything you want. You don't need to pretend to be someone else. You are perfect just the way you are."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandma. I love you."
+
+"I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go and see the other animals. They are much nicer than the sheep. They will be happy to see you." Grandma said.
+
+Lily nodded and followed Grandma. She forgot about the sheep and their red ribbon. She was happy to be herself, and to have her grandma's love.
+Tom and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to make marks on the sand with their fingers and toes. They drew circles, stars, and hearts. They also wrote their names.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a shark!" Tom said, pointing to his mark. He had drawn a big fish with a pointy tail and teeth.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's a good shark!" Lily said. She liked sharks. They were scary and cool.
+
+But then they heard a loud splash. They looked at the water and saw a real shark. It was gray and big and had a fin on its back. It was swimming near the shore.
+
+"Tom, Lily, get away from the water!" their mom shouted. She ran to them and grabbed their hands. She was scared of the shark. She did not want it to bite them.
+
+The shark saw them and opened its mouth. It smelled something smelly. It was Tom's mark. Tom had used a smelly fish to draw his shark. The shark liked smelly fish. It swam to the sand and bit Tom's mark. It ate the fish and the sand.
+
+Tom and Lily were safe. They were happy. They did not like the shark anymore. It was mean and hungry.
+
+"Mom, can we go home?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, let's go home," their mom said. She hugged them and took them to the car.
+
+They left the beach and the shark. They did not make any more marks on the sand. They learned a lesson. They did not use smelly fish to draw. They used crayons and paper.
+Anna was a restless girl who did not like to bathe. She always ran away from her parent when it was time to wash. She said, "I do not want to bathe, I want to play!"
+
+One day, her parent had a surprise for her. She said, "Anna, today we will bathe in a special way. We will go to the lake and splash in the water. Do you want to try?"
+
+Anna was curious and agreed. She put on her swimsuit and followed her parent to the lake. There, she saw many fish, frogs, and ducks. She also saw some soap and a towel on the shore.
+
+Her parent said, "Anna, this is how we will bathe today. We will play with the animals, but we will also use the soap and the towel to clean ourselves. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nodded and smiled. She liked the idea of bathing in the lake. She jumped into the water and had fun with the animals. She also let her parent rub the soap on her hair and body. She felt the bubbles tickle her skin. She rinsed herself with the water and dried herself with the towel. She felt fresh and happy.
+
+Her parent said, "Anna, you did a great job today. You learned how to bathe in a new way. You also learned that bathing can be fun and good for you. I am proud of you."
+
+Anna hugged her parent and said, "Thank you, parent. I love you. I also love bathing in the lake. Can we do it again?"
+
+Her parent said, "Yes, we can. But we also have to bathe at home sometimes. Will you promise me that you will not run away from me when it is time to wash?"
+
+Anna said, "I promise, parent. I will not run away from you. I will bathe at home and at the lake. I will be a good girl."
+
+Her parent said, "That is wonderful, Anna. You are a good girl. Now, let us go home and have some snack. You must be hungry after all the playing and bathing."
+
+Anna said, "Yes, I am hungry. Let us go home and have some snack. I am also tired. I think I will sleep well tonight."
+
+Her parent said, "Me too, Anna. Me too."
+Sara and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They wanted to build a big tower with all the colors. They worked together and put one block on top of another.
+
+"Look, our tower is so tall!" Sara said.
+
+"Yes, it is. And so pretty!" Ben said.
+
+But then, their baby brother Tom came crawling. He saw the tower and wanted to touch it. He reached out his hand and pushed the blocks.
+
+"Tom, no!" Sara and Ben shouted.
+
+The tower fell down with a loud crash. The blocks scattered everywhere. Sara and Ben were angry and sad. They looked at Tom, who was laughing and clapping.
+
+"That's not funny, Tom. That's mean!" Sara said.
+
+"You ruined our tower. You are disgusting!" Ben said.
+
+Tom did not understand. He thought it was a game. He picked up a block and threw it at Sara. It hit her on the head. She cried out in pain.
+
+"Ow, Tom, that hurts!" Sara said.
+
+"Stop it, Tom. You are bad!" Ben said.
+
+He grabbed another block and threw it back at Tom. It hit him on the cheek. He cried out in pain.
+
+"Ow, Ben, that hurts!" Tom said.
+
+They started to throw blocks at each other. They were loud and angry. They did not have peace.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the fighting. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing, kids?" Mom asked.
+
+"They started it!" Sara and Ben said.
+
+"No, they started it!" Tom said.
+
+Mom shook her head. She picked up Tom and hugged him. She said sorry to him and kissed his cheek. She put him down and hugged Sara and Ben. She said sorry to them and kissed their heads.
+
+"Kids, you need to share and be kind. You can't throw blocks at each other. That's not how you play. That's how you hurt." Mom said.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom." Sara and Ben said.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom." Tom said.
+
+Mom smiled. She helped them pick up the blocks. She said they could build another tower together. She said they could use their words and their hugs. She said that's how they make peace.
+
+"Can we try again, Mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Yes, we can. And this time, let's make a beautiful tower. And a beautiful family." Mom said.
+
+They nodded. They hugged each other. They said sorry and thank you. They started to build again. They had peace.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to explore. One day, she found a big door in the wall of her house. She opened the door and saw a dark chamber. She wanted to see what was inside, so she went in.
+
+The chamber was full of old things. There were books, clothes, toys, and pictures. Lily touched everything and made a lot of noise. She did not know that someone was sleeping in the chamber. It was a mean old man who hated children.
+
+The old man woke up and heard Lily. He was very angry. He got up and saw Lily playing with his things. He shouted at her and grabbed her. He locked her in a small closet and threw away the key. He said, "You will never get out of here. This is your punishment for disturbing me."
+
+Lily was very scared and sad. She cried and banged on the door, but no one heard her. She was hungry and thirsty and cold. She had no friends or toys or books. She had nothing to do but rest on the hard floor. She was very uncomfortable.
+
+Lily stayed in the closet for a long time. She hoped that someone would find her and save her, but no one did. She became sick and weak and lonely. She wished she had never gone into the chamber. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. She wished she could go home. But it was too late. Lily died in the closet. The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck with a handle that he could pull. Lily had a doll with a dress and a hat. They liked their toys very much.
+
+"Look at my truck!" Tom said. "It can go fast and make noise. It is the best toy ever!"
+
+"Look at my doll!" Lily said. "She can smile and wink. She is the best toy ever!"
+
+They both thought their toys were the best and did not want to share. They started to argue and pull each other's toys.
+
+"Give me my truck!" Tom shouted.
+
+"Give me my doll!" Lily shouted.
+
+They were not happy and made a lot of noise. Their mom heard them and came to the living room.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over your toys?"
+
+"Mom, he wants my truck!" Tom said.
+
+"Mom, she wants my doll!" Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at them and shook her head. She was not happy either.
+
+"Tom, Lily, listen to me," she said. "Your toys are not the most important thing in the world. They are just things. You know what is more important? Your brother and your sister. They are your family. You should love them and share with them. That is what makes you happy. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they were being silly and mean. They nodded and hugged each other.
+
+"Sorry, Tom," Lily said. "You can play with my doll if you want."
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Tom said. "You can play with my truck if you want."
+
+They smiled and thanked their mom. They learned to value their family more than their toys. They were wise and happy.
+Sara and Ben like to help mom bake a cake. Mom lets them put eggs, flour, sugar and milk in a big bowl. Then she gives them a mixer to make the batter smooth. Sara and Ben take turns to hold the mixer and press the button.
+
+"Me first!" Sara says. She holds the mixer and pushes the button hard. The mixer makes a loud noise and spins fast. The batter flies out of the bowl and splashes on the table, the floor and the wall.
+
+"Stop!" Ben says. He tries to grab the mixer from Sara, but she does not let go. They pull and tug on the mixer, but it does not stop. The mixer makes a louder noise and spins faster. The batter flies out of the bowl and splashes on the window, the door and the ceiling.
+
+"Ring, ring, ring!" The phone rings in the kitchen. Mom hears the phone and runs to answer it. She sees the mess that Sara and Ben have made. She sees the mixer still spinning and the batter still flying. She sees Sara and Ben still fighting over the mixer.
+
+"Stop!" Mom says. She takes the mixer from Sara and Ben and turns it off. She puts the mixer on the counter and picks up the phone. She says hello to the person on the phone, but she sounds angry.
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They look at the thick batter that covers everything. They feel sorry for making mom mad. They say sorry to mom and to each other. They get a cloth and a mop and start to clean up the mess. They hope mom will still let them bake the cake.
+Sara liked to play with her toys, but she did not like to clean them up. She left them all over the floor, and her mom was not happy. She told Sara to put her toys in the box, or she would throw them away. Sara did not listen. She wanted to play some more.
+
+One day, Sara saw a big truck outside her house. It was a junk truck. It came to take away the things that people did not want. Sara was curious. She went outside to see what the truck was carrying. She saw old chairs, broken lamps, and torn books. She also saw something shiny. It was her favorite toy, a pink bike with a bell. Sara was shocked. How did her bike get in the junk truck?
+
+She remembered that she left her bike in the yard, and forgot to bring it inside. She was too sleepy to do it last night. She ran to the truck and tried to get her bike back. But the truck driver did not see her. He closed the door and drove away. Sara cried and cried. She lost her bike forever.
+
+She learned a hard lesson. She should have listened to her mom and cleaned up her toys. She should have taken care of her bike. She should not have been so lazy and sleepy. She decided to change her ways. She went inside and put all her toys in the box. She hoped that her mom would buy her a new bike someday. She also hoped that the junk truck would not come back.
+Sam and Tom are brothers. They share a room and a bed. Every morning, their mom sets an alarm to wake them up for school. The alarm is loud and makes a beep-beep sound.
+
+One day, Sam and Tom decide to play a trick on their mom. They find a large toy truck in their closet. The truck has a horn that makes a honk-honk sound. They put the truck under their bed and hide the alarm in the closet.
+
+When it is time to wake up, the alarm does not beep-beep. Instead, the truck honks-honk. Mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees Sam and Tom laying on the bed, pretending to sleep.
+
+"Boys, wake up! It's time for school!" Mom says.
+
+Sam and Tom open their eyes and smile. They say, "Surprise, Mom! We played a trick on you! We switched the alarm with the truck!"
+
+Mom is not angry. She laughs and hugs them. She says, "You are very clever, boys. But you still have to get up and get ready. Come on, let's go!"
+
+Sam and Tom jump out of the bed and run to the bathroom. They are happy and proud of their trick. They love their mom and their truck.
+Tom and Mia are hungry. They want a snack. They go to the kitchen and look for something to eat. They see a big jar of cookies on the shelf. The cookies look delicious. They have chocolate chips and nuts.
+
+"Can we have some cookies, please?" Tom asks Mom, who is reading a book on the sofa.
+
+Mom looks at them and smiles. "Yes, you can have one cookie each. But first, you have to wash your hands and say please and thank you."
+
+Tom and Mia run to the sink and wash their hands. They dry them with a towel. Then they go back to the shelf and reach for the jar of cookies.
+
+"Please, can we have a cookie?" Mia asks politely.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, for the cookie!" Tom says gratefully.
+
+Mom nods and gives them each a cookie. They take a big bite and enjoy the sweet and crunchy taste.
+
+"Mmm, these cookies are delicious!" Tom and Mia say together.
+
+They finish their cookies and give Mom a hug and a kiss. Then they go to play with their toys, feeling happy and full.
+Tom had a dog named Mark. Mark was a big and honest dog. He liked to play with Tom and guard the house. Tom loved Mark very much.
+
+One day, Tom and Mark went to the park. They saw many other dogs and people there. Tom threw a ball for Mark to catch. Mark ran after the ball very fast. He did not see the road or the car.
+
+The car hit Mark very hard. Mark made a loud and sad sound. Tom ran to Mark and cried. He hugged Mark and said sorry. He wanted Mark to be okay.
+
+But Mark was not okay. He was very hurt and could not move. The car driver came out and said sorry too. He said he did not see Mark either. He said he would help Tom and Mark.
+
+But it was too late. Mark closed his eyes and stopped breathing. Tom lost his best friend. He was very sad and angry. He wished he had not thrown the ball. He wished Mark had seen the car. He wished Mark was still alive.
+Tom and Anna like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They pretend to be drivers and go to different places.
+
+One day, they have a big problem. They both want to play with the same car. It is a red car with a blue roof and a loud horn. Tom says it is his car. Anna says it is her car. They pull and tug and shout. They are not happy.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She sees the red car and the angry children. She says, "Why are you fighting? You have so many cars to share. Why don't you unite and play together?"
+
+Tom and Anna look at each other. They think for a moment. They remember that they are friends and they like to have fun. They decide to unite and play together. They say sorry and hug. They take turns to be the driver of the red car. They make a new road and a new bridge. They honk the horn and laugh. They are happy. Mom smiles and says, "Good job, Tom and Anna. You are persistent and kind. I am proud of you."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. They play with dolls, cars, and balls. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. Tom and Mia are frightened. They run away from the dog. They hide behind a tree.
+
+The dog runs after them. He barks loudly. He wants to play with them. He does not want to hurt them. But Tom and Mia do not know that. They think the dog is bad.
+
+A man comes to the park. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog's name. The dog stops barking. He runs to the man. The man puts a leash on the dog. He says sorry to Tom and Mia.
+
+He tells them that the dog is friendly. He says the dog likes children. He asks them if they want to pet the dog. Tom and Mia are scared. They shake their heads. They do not want to touch the dog.
+
+The man says it is okay. He says they do not have to be afraid. He says the dog will not bite them. He says the dog just wants to say hello. He says the dog likes to play, too.
+
+He shows them how to pet the dog gently. He tells them to say nice words to the dog. He tells them to smile at the dog. He says the dog will smile back.
+
+Tom and Mia are curious. They want to try. They go closer to the dog. They touch the dog's fur. They say hello to the dog. They smile at the dog.
+
+The dog wags his tail. He licks their faces. He smiles at them. He is happy. Tom and Mia are happy, too. They are not frightened anymore. They make a new friend.
+
+The moral of the story is: do not judge by appearances. Sometimes, things that look scary are not. Sometimes, they are friendly and want to play. It is good to be brave and kind. It is good to make new friends.
+Sara was a good girl who liked to gaze at the stars. She had a big window in her room where she could see them at night. She wondered what they were and how they shone so bright.
+
+One night, Sara saw a shooting star. She made a wish. She wished she could go to the stars and play with them. She wanted to escape from her boring room and have an adventure.
+
+She closed her eyes and imagined she was flying in the sky. She felt a breeze on her face and a tickle in her stomach. She opened her eyes and saw she was on a rocket. The rocket was taking her to the stars.
+
+Sara was happy and excited. She saw many colors and shapes in the sky. She reached out to touch a star, but it was too hot. She pulled back her hand and felt a pain. She cried out loud.
+
+The rocket heard her cry and turned around. It took her back to her room. Sara was sad and scared. She wanted to go home. She saw her window and jumped out of the rocket. She landed on her bed and hugged her teddy bear.
+
+She looked at the stars again. They were still beautiful, but she did not want to go to them anymore. She learned that some things are better to gaze at than to touch. She was happy to be in her room, where she was safe and loved. She thanked the rocket for bringing her back and said good night to the stars. She fell asleep with a smile on her face.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play sport with their friends. They can run, jump, kick and throw. They have fun and laugh a lot.
+
+One day, they go to a new park with their mom. The park has many things to play with. There is a slide, a swing, a seesaw and a sandbox. But there is also something unusual. There is a big red button on a pole.
+
+Lila and Ben are curious. They want to know what the button does. They ask their mom.
+
+"Mom, what is that button for?" Lila says.
+
+"I don't know, sweetie. Maybe it is for a game or a show. Do you want to try it?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lila and Ben say.
+
+They run to the button and press it. Suddenly, a loud voice comes from the pole.
+
+"Welcome to the park! You have pressed the button and activated the order system. Please choose a sport from the menu and follow the instructions. Have fun!"
+
+Lila and Ben are surprised and excited. They look at the menu. There are many sports to choose from. There is soccer, basketball, tennis, golf and more. They also see some strange sports they have never heard of. There is cheese rolling, egg tossing, worm charming and more.
+
+Lila and Ben want to try something new. They point to the cheese rolling sport.
+
+"Cheese rolling, please!" they say.
+
+"Cheese rolling, confirmed. Please go to the hill and wait for the cheese. The first one to catch the cheese wins. Ready, set, go!" the voice says.
+
+Lila and Ben run to the hill. They see a big wheel of cheese rolling down. They chase after it. They slip and slide and tumble. They try to catch the cheese. It is hard and funny.
+
+Mom watches them and smiles. She thinks they are brave and silly. She is happy they are having fun. She takes a picture of them with her phone.
+
+Lila and Ben are tired and happy. They catch the cheese together. They hug and share it. They say thank you to the voice and the button. They want to try another sport. They wonder what worm charming is. They press the button again.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the kitchen. They pretend to cook food for their toys. They have pots and pans and spoons and plates.
+
+One day, Tom finds a bottle of oil. He thinks it is water. He pours some oil in a pan. He puts the pan on the stove. He turns the knob. He says, "I am cooking soup for my bear. He is hungry."
+
+Mia sees the oil in the pan. She knows it is not water. She knows it is hot and dangerous. She says, "Tom, stop! That is not water. That is oil. Oil is not for cooking soup. Oil can burn you. Turn off the stove. Be careful."
+
+Tom hears Mia. He looks at the pan. He sees the oil bubbling and smoking. He is scared. He turns off the stove. He moves away from the pan. He says, "Sorry, Mia. I did not know. Thank you for telling me. Oil is not for cooking soup. Oil is for cars and bikes."
+
+Mia nods. She says, "You are welcome, Tom. I am glad you are safe. Oil is very hot. You need to wait until it is cool. Then we can clean the pan. Next time, we can use water or juice or milk for cooking soup. They are yummy and safe."
+
+Tom and Mia hug. They are happy. They are still friends. They play with their toys. They wait for the oil to cool. They learn a new word. They learn what oil is. They have fun.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big jeep that they could ride in the yard. They liked to pretend they were going on adventures in the jeep.
+
+One day, their mom told them that they had to sell some of their toys, because they had too many and they needed money for other things. Tom and Lily were sad, but they agreed to sell some of their toys. They put them in a box and went to the street, where they made a sign that said "Toys for sale".
+
+Soon, a man came by and saw the box of toys. He looked at them and said, "How much for this jeep? It looks fun."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not want to sell their jeep, but they also wanted to help their mom. They did not know what to say.
+
+The man saw that they were hesitating and said, "I'll give you ten dollars for it. It's a good deal."
+
+Tom and Lily thought about it. Ten dollars was a lot of money. They could buy many things with it. But they also loved their jeep. They looked at the jeep and saw that it was icy. It had snowed the night before and the jeep was covered in white. It looked beautiful and shiny.
+
+They decided to keep their jeep. They said to the man, "No, thank you. We don't want to sell our jeep. It's our favorite toy. We like to play with it in the snow. It's icy and cool."
+
+The man smiled and said, "I understand. It's a nice jeep. Maybe you can sell some of the other toys. Have a good day."
+
+He walked away and Tom and Lily hugged their jeep. They were happy that they still had it. They went back to the yard and rode their jeep in the snow. They had fun and forgot about selling their toys. They were glad that they had each other and their jeep.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the snow. They liked to make snowballs and throw them at each other. They laughed and ran around the yard.
+
+But then Tom saw a big branch on the ground. It was icy and shiny. He thought it would be fun to swing it like a sword. He picked it up and waved it in the air.
+
+"Look, Mia, I have a sword!" he shouted.
+
+Mia looked at him and frowned. She did not like the branch. She thought it was dangerous and cold. She did not want to play with it.
+
+"Put it down, Tom. It is not a toy. It is a branch. You can hurt yourself or me," she said.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He kept swinging the branch and making noises. He pretended he was a knight fighting a dragon. He ran towards Mia and tried to hit her with the branch.
+
+Mia dodged and screamed. She was scared and angry. She did not want to play with Tom anymore.
+
+"Stop it, Tom! Quit it! You are being mean and silly. I don't want to be your friend," she said.
+
+She ran away from him and went inside the house. She slammed the door behind her.
+
+Tom was left alone with the branch. He felt sad and sorry. He realized he had made a mistake. He dropped the branch and ran after Mia.
+
+"Mia, wait! I'm sorry! I was just playing. Please come back. Please be my friend," he said.
+
+But Mia did not hear him. She was inside the house, crying. She did not want to talk to Tom. She did not want to play with him anymore.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Lily was bossy. She told Tom what to do all the time.
+
+"Tom, you hold the potato. I will cut it," Lily said.
+
+Tom did not want to hold the potato. He wanted to cut it too. He said, "No, Lily. I want to cut the potato. You hold it."
+
+Lily did not like that. She said, "No, Tom. I am the big chef. You are the little chef. You do what I say."
+
+Tom was sad. He did not like to be the little chef. He did not like to do what Lily said. He said, "No, Lily. You are not the big chef. You are the bossy chef. You are not nice."
+
+Lily was angry. She said, "Tom, you are a bad chef. You are not my friend. Go away."
+
+Tom was angry too. He said, "Lily, you are a mean chef. You are not my friend either. I will go away."
+
+Tom and Lily both threw the potato on the floor. They both ran away to their rooms. They both cried.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She came to the kitchen. She saw the potato on the floor. She saw Lily and Tom in their rooms. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, Tom, what happened? Why did you make a mess? Why are you crying?"
+
+Lily and Tom both told Mom what they said and did. Mom said, "Lily, Tom, that was not nice. You should not be bossy or mean. You should share and take turns. You should be kind and say sorry. You are both good chefs. You are both my friends. Can you be friends with each other?"
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry. They said, "Yes, Mom. We are sorry. We will be friends. We will be nice."
+
+Mom said, "That's good. Now, let's clean up the potato. Then, we can make some soup. We can all be chefs together."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled. They hugged Mom. They hugged each other. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We love soup. We love being chefs."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pick flowers and make crowns for their dolls. They saw a big bush with many red flowers. They ran to the bush and started to pick the flowers.
+
+"Look, Lily, these flowers are so pretty!" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, they are, Tom. Let's make a big crown for our doll!" Lily said.
+
+They picked and picked until they had a lot of flowers. They sat on the grass and began to make the crown. They did not see the sign that said "Do not pick the flowers".
+
+A man came to the park. He was the gardener. He saw the bush with many flowers missing. He saw Lily and Tom with the flowers. He was angry.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my flowers?" he shouted.
+
+Lily and Tom looked up. They saw the man. They saw the sign. They were scared.
+
+"We are sorry, sir. We did not see the sign. We just wanted to make a crown for our doll," Lily said.
+
+The man came closer. He took the flowers from their hands. He threw them in the trash.
+
+"These flowers are not for picking. They are for everyone to enjoy. You should not take what is not yours," he said.
+
+Lily and Tom felt bad. They said sorry again. They wanted to go home.
+
+They looked for their mom. She was on a bench. She was reading a book. She did not hear the man.
+
+"Mom, mom, can we go home?" Lily and Tom asked.
+
+Their mom looked at them. She saw their faces. They were sad and worried.
+
+"What happened, my loves? Why are you so upset?" she asked.
+
+Lily and Tom told her what happened. They told her about the flowers, the bush, the sign and the man.
+
+Their mom hugged them. She was not angry. She was kind.
+
+"I'm sorry you had a bad experience, my loves. But you should always read the signs and respect the rules. The flowers are beautiful, but they belong to the park. You can admire them, but you cannot pick them. Do you understand?" she asked.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They understood. They learned a lesson.
+
+"Can we still play in the park, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, my loves. But no more picking flowers, okay?" their mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. We promise," Lily and Tom said.
+
+They smiled. They felt better. They went to play in the park. They found other things to do. They had fun. They did not pick any more flowers.
+Tom liked to number his toys. He had a lot of toys, but he wanted to know how many. He took a paper and a crayon and wrote one, two, three, and so on. He put each toy next to the number he wrote.
+
+He was very happy with his work. He wanted to show his mom. He picked up his paper and ran to the living room. He saw his mom sitting on the couch, reading a book.
+
+"Mom, mom, look what I did!" he said, holding up his paper.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's very good!" his mom said, smiling. "You numbered your toys. How many do you have?"
+
+Tom looked at his paper. He counted the numbers out loud. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I have ten toys!"
+
+"That's right, Tom, you have ten toys. You are very smart and successful. I'm proud of you," his mom said, hugging him.
+
+Tom felt happy and proud too. He hugged his mom back. Then he had an idea. He wanted to see how he looked when he was successful. He ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He saw his face, his hair, his eyes, his nose, his mouth. He smiled. He liked what he saw. He said to himself, "I am successful. I can number my toys. I can do anything." He felt very good. He ran back to his mom and gave her another hug. He said, "I love you, mom. Thank you for helping me learn."
+
+"I love you too, Tom. You're welcome. You make me happy," his mom said. They cuddled on the couch and read a book together. Tom felt very happy. He had a good day. He learned something new. He was successful.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to pretend they were racing on a big road. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They made vroom-vroom noises as they moved their cars along the grass.
+
+"Look, Lily, I'm faster than you!" Ben said, as he zoomed past her.
+
+"No, you're not, Ben, I'm catching up!" Lily said, as she sped after him.
+
+They reached the end of the garden, where there was a big fence. They turned their cars around and raced back to the other side. But then, Lily saw something that made her stop.
+
+"Ben, Ben, look!" she shouted. "There's a cat on the fence!"
+
+Ben looked up and saw a big, fluffy, black cat sitting on the fence. It had yellow eyes and a long tail. It looked at them and meowed.
+
+"Wow, a cat!" Ben said. "Let's go and say hello!"
+
+But Lily was scared of cats. She thought they were mean and scratchy. She did not want to go near the cat.
+
+"No, Ben, no!" she cried. "The cat is bad! It will hurt us!"
+
+She grabbed her car and ran back to the house. She was in a panic. She did not look where she was going. She tripped over a rock and fell down. Her car flew out of her hand and landed in a puddle.
+
+Lily started to cry. She had hurt her knee and her car was wet and dirty. She wanted her mom.
+
+Ben saw what happened and ran after her. He felt sorry for Lily. He did not want her to be sad.
+
+"Lily, Lily, it's okay!" he said. "The cat is not bad. It's just a cat. It won't hurt us. And your car is not broken. It's just wet. We can dry it and clean it. Don't cry, Lily."
+
+He picked up her car and brought it to her. He helped her get up and hugged her.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," Lily said, sniffling. "You're a good friend. I'm sorry I was scared of the cat."
+
+"That's okay, Lily," Ben said. "Everyone is scared of something. I'm scared of spiders. They have too many legs. But we can be brave together. Come on, let's go and see the cat. Maybe it will let us pet it. It looks graceful and soft."
+
+Lily nodded. She felt better. She wiped her tears and smiled. She took Ben's hand and they walked slowly to the fence. The cat was still there. It meowed again and licked its paw.
+
+"Hello, cat," Lily said. "We're Lily and Ben. We're sorry we scared you. Can we be your friends?"
+
+The cat looked at them and tilted its head. It seemed curious. It jumped down from the fence and walked towards them. It rubbed its head against their legs and purred.
+
+Lily and Ben giggled. They reached down and stroked the cat. It felt warm and fluffy. They liked the cat.
+
+"See, Lily, the cat is nice," Ben said. "It likes us."
+
+"Yes, Ben, the cat is nice," Lily said. "It likes us. And I like it."
+
+They played with the cat for a while. They gave it some of their fuel, which was really water in a bottle. They made a bed for it out of some leaves. They gave it a name. They called it Fluffy.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They had made a new friend. They forgot about their cars and their race. They only cared about Fluffy. They hoped Fluffy would come back and visit them again. They wanted to play with Fluffy every day.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the woods. They find some lumber near a big tree. They want to build a fort with the lumber.
+
+"Let's take the lumber to our spot," Tom says. He is older and strong. He picks up a big piece of lumber.
+
+"Okay," Sam says. He is younger and small. He tries to pick up a small piece of lumber. But it is too heavy for him. He drops it and cries.
+
+"Sam, don't cry," Tom says. He puts down his lumber and goes to help Sam. "You can carry this one. It is lighter."
+
+"Thank you, Tom," Sam says. He smiles and picks up the lighter piece of lumber. He follows Tom to their spot.
+
+But when they get there, they see a man. He is angry and has a saw. He is cutting their fort.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Tom shouts. "That is our fort!"
+
+"No, it is not," the man says. "This is my lumber. I left it here to return later. You stole it from me."
+
+"We did not steal it," Sam says. "We found it. We did not know it was yours."
+
+"Well, now you know," the man says. "Give it back to me. Or I will call your parents."
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They do not want to lose their fort. But they do not want to get in trouble either. What will they do?
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toy animals in the jungle. They had made a big house for them with leaves and sticks. They were having fun making noises and stories for their animals.
+
+But then, a big wind came and blew their house away. The animals fell on the ground and some of them broke. Lila and Ben were sad and angry.
+
+"Look what the wind did!" Lila cried. "Our house is gone and our animals are hurt!"
+
+"That's not fair!" Ben said. "We worked hard to make our house and our animals happy!"
+
+They picked up their animals and looked at them. Some of them had missing legs, tails or ears. Some of them had cracks or holes.
+
+"Can we repair them?" Lila asked.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe we can use some glue or tape or clay."
+
+They looked around and saw a big tree with a hole in it. They ran to the tree and found some glue, tape and clay inside. They were happy and surprised.
+
+"Look, someone left these things here!" Lila said. "Maybe they were repairing something too!"
+
+"Maybe they don't need them anymore," Ben said. "Maybe we can borrow them and repair our animals!"
+
+They took the glue, tape and clay and went back to their animals. They started to repair them carefully. They glued the legs, tails and ears back. They taped the cracks and holes. They shaped the clay to make new parts.
+
+Soon, their animals looked good again. They were happy and proud.
+
+"Look, we repaired our animals!" Lila said. "They look like new!"
+
+"Yes, we did!" Ben said. "They look great!"
+
+They hugged their animals and thanked the glue, tape and clay. They put them back in the tree hole.
+
+"Thank you for letting us use your things!" Lila said.
+
+"Yes, thank you!" Ben said.
+
+They made a new house for their animals with more leaves and sticks. They hoped the wind would not blow it away again. They continued to play with their animals in the jungle. They were having fun again.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over who gets what. One day, they hear a knock on the door. It is the mailman. He has a big envelope for them.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Tom asks. He runs to the door and takes the envelope.
+
+"Let me see, let me see!" Lily says. She follows Tom to the living room.
+
+Tom opens the envelope. Inside, there is a card and a gift. The card says: "Happy birthday, Tom and Lily! We love you very much. Grandma and Grandpa."
+
+The gift is a puzzle. It has many pieces and colors. Tom loves puzzles. He smiles and hugs the gift.
+
+"Look, Lily, we got a puzzle from Grandma and Grandpa!" Tom says.
+
+Lily looks at the puzzle. She does not like puzzles. She likes dolls and stickers. She feels envious of Tom. She wants a different gift.
+
+"That's not fair!" Lily says. She snatches the puzzle from Tom.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Tom says. He tries to grab the puzzle from Lily.
+
+They pull and tug on the puzzle. They yell and cry. The puzzle falls to the floor. The pieces scatter everywhere. Some of them break.
+
+Tom and Lily stop fighting. They look at the puzzle. They feel sad and sorry. They ruined their gift.
+
+They hear the door open. It is their mom. She sees the mess and the broken puzzle. She is angry and disappointed.
+
+"What have you done?" she asks. "This was a nice gift from Grandma and Grandpa. How could you be so selfish and careless?"
+
+She takes the puzzle and the card. She puts them in the trash. She sends Tom and Lily to their room. She does not give them any cookies or milk.
+
+Tom and Lily sit on their beds. They do not talk to each other. They wish they had shared the puzzle and said thank you. They wish they had been nicer to each other. They wish they had not been envious. They wish they had a different ending.
+Anna was a good girl who liked to play with her toys and her dog. She had a dream of going to the park and riding on the big slide. She asked her mom if they could go to the park today.
+
+"Sorry, Anna, we can't go to the park today. It is raining and we have to stay inside," her mom said.
+
+Anna was very sad. She wanted to go to the park so much. She started to cry. She hugged her dog and said, "I wish the rain would go away. I want to ride on the big slide."
+
+Her mom came to her and gave her a hug. She said, "I know you are sad, Anna, but crying won't make the rain go away. Why don't we do something fun inside? We can read a book, or draw a picture, or bake some cookies. What do you think?"
+
+Anna wiped her tears and thought for a moment. She liked to read books, and draw pictures, and bake cookies. She said, "OK, mom, let's do something fun inside. Maybe the rain will stop later and we can go to the park tomorrow."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That's a good idea, Anna. I'm glad you are feeling better. Let's go to the kitchen and see what we can bake. Maybe we can make some cookies shaped like slides."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Yes, mom, let's do that. That sounds like fun. And maybe I can dream of the park tonight."
+
+They went to the kitchen and had a good time baking cookies. Anna forgot about the rain and enjoyed the cookies. She hoped that the sun would come out tomorrow and she could go to the park and ride on the big slide. She was a good girl who liked to play with her toys and her dog. And she had a dream.
+Lila was a lonely fish. She lived in a big pond with many other fish, but they did not like her. They said she was too small and too slow. They teased her every day and made her cry.
+
+One day, Lila saw a shiny thing in the water. It looked like a worm, but it was not a worm. It was a rod. A man was holding the rod and trying to catch fish. Lila was curious and hungry. She swam closer to the shiny thing.
+
+"Hello, little fish," the man said. "Do you want a bite? Come on, don't be shy. It's yummy."
+
+Lila thought the man was nice. She did not know he was lying. She opened her mouth and bit the shiny thing. But it was not yummy. It was hard and sharp. It hurt her mouth and made her bleed.
+
+"Gotcha!" the man said. He pulled the rod and lifted Lila out of the water. He laughed and put her in a bucket. Lila was scared and sad. She wished she had not trusted the man. She wished she had friends to help her.
+
+The other fish saw what happened to Lila. They felt sorry for her. They realized they had been mean and rude. They wished they had been kind and friendly. They swam to the bucket and tried to free Lila.
+
+"Please, let her go," they said to the man. "She is one of us. She does not deserve this. We are sorry we teased her. We want to be her friends."
+
+The man heard the fish. He was surprised and touched. He saw that Lila was a lonely fish. He felt bad and sorry. He took Lila out of the bucket and put her back in the pond. He said, "I'm sorry, little fish. I won't bother you again. You have good friends. Be happy."
+
+Lila was happy. She thanked the man and the fish. She smiled and swam with her new friends. She was not lonely anymore. She was loved.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big melon on a vine. It is green and round.
+
+"Look, a melon!" Ben says. "Can we eat it?"
+
+"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe we should ask Mom."
+
+They pick up the melon and carry it to the house. It is heavy and cold. They rub it with their hands. It feels smooth and bumpy.
+
+"Mom, Mom, look what we found!" they shout.
+
+Mom comes out of the kitchen. She smiles when she sees the melon.
+
+"Wow, what a nice melon!" she says. "Did you grow it in the garden?"
+
+"No, we just found it," Ben says.
+
+"Can we eat it?" Mia asks.
+
+"Sure, we can eat it," Mom says. "But first, we have to wash it and cut it."
+
+She takes the melon to the sink and washes it. Then she gets a big knife and cuts it in half. Inside, the melon is red and juicy. It smells sweet.
+
+"Here you go, kids," Mom says. "Some fresh melon for you. Enjoy!"
+
+She gives Ben and Mia each a slice of melon. They bite into it. It tastes cold and yummy. They smile and say, "Thank you, Mom!"
+
+They eat the melon and share it with Mom. They are happy and full. They love melon.
+Sara and Ben were playing outside in the snow. They saw a big house with a chimney. They wanted to see what was inside the chimney.
+
+"Let's climb up and look," Ben said.
+
+"No, it's too high and dangerous," Sara said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He found a ladder and put it against the wall. He started to climb up. Sara followed him. She was scared.
+
+They reached the top of the house. They saw the chimney. It was purple. They wondered why.
+
+"Maybe there is a dragon inside," Ben said.
+
+He walked to the edge of the roof. He tried to balance on one foot. He wanted to peek inside the chimney.
+
+"Ben, be careful!" Sara said.
+
+But Ben lost his balance. He slipped and fell. He screamed.
+
+Sara ran to him. She saw him hanging from the ladder. He was holding on with one hand.
+
+"Help me, Sara!" Ben said.
+
+Sara grabbed his hand. She pulled him up. She hugged him.
+
+"Ben, you are silly and brave," Sara said.
+
+"Thank you, Sara. You are smart and kind," Ben said.
+
+They climbed down the ladder. They ran back to their home. They told their mom what happened.
+
+Their mom was angry and relieved. She scolded them and kissed them.
+
+She said, "Never climb on roofs or chimneys again. They are not for playing. They are for smoke and fire."
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We learned our lesson."
+
+They went to their room. They played with their toys. They did not think about the purple chimney anymore.
+One day, Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They also liked to look at the cars and buses on the road. They saw a big red car with a loud sound. It was an ambulance.
+
+"Look, Sam, an ambulance!" Lily said. "It helps people who are hurt."
+
+"Wow, that's interesting!" Sam said. "I want to be an ambulance driver when I grow up."
+
+They watched the ambulance go by and then continued to play. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Later, they went home with their mom. She gave them a hug and a snack. She asked them what they did in the park.
+
+"We saw an ambulance, mom!" Lily said. "It was red and loud and interesting!"
+
+"That's nice, sweetie," mom said. "Do you know what an ambulance does?"
+
+"It helps people who are hurt, mom," Sam said. "It takes them to the hospital."
+
+"That's right, honey," mom said. "The ambulance drivers and the doctors and the nurses are very kind and brave. They love to help people."
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They thought the ambulance was very cool. They also loved their mom and each other. They were happy.
+Lily and Sam liked to play in the park. They had a big box of toys. They had balls, cars, dolls, and blocks. They liked to build things with the blocks. They made houses, towers, bridges, and animals.
+
+One day, they decided to make a big triangle with the blocks. They put three long blocks on the ground. They put more blocks on top of them. They made the triangle taller and taller. They were very proud of their triangle.
+
+"Look at our triangle!" Lily said. "It is the best triangle ever!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Sam said. "But we need something to make it more fun. Let's march around it and sing a song!"
+
+"Okay!" Lily said. "That sounds like fun!"
+
+They took their toy drums and trumpets. They started to march around the triangle. They sang a song. They sang, "We love our triangle, it is so big and strong. We love our triangle, we march and sing along."
+
+They did not see the big dog that was running in the park. The dog saw the triangle. The dog liked to play with blocks. The dog wanted to knock down the triangle. The dog ran towards the triangle.
+
+Lily and Sam heard the dog's bark. They stopped marching and singing. They looked at the dog. They saw the dog was big and fast. They saw the dog was going to hit their triangle.
+
+"Watch out!" Lily shouted. "The dog is coming!"
+
+"Run!" Sam shouted. "Save our triangle!"
+
+They dropped their drums and trumpets. They ran to their triangle. They tried to hold the blocks together. They tried to stop the dog. But the dog was too strong. The dog jumped on the triangle. The triangle fell down. The blocks flew everywhere.
+
+Lily and Sam were sad. They cried. They hugged each other. They looked at their broken triangle.
+
+The dog was happy. He wagged his tail. He licked their faces. He wanted to play with them.
+
+"Go away!" Lily said. "You are a bad dog! You broke our triangle!"
+
+"Sorry!" the dog said. "I did not mean to. I just wanted to have fun. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily and Sam looked at the dog. They saw the dog was sorry. They saw the dog was friendly. They saw the dog was cute.
+
+They wiped their tears. They smiled. They petted the dog.
+
+"Okay," Sam said. "We can be friends. But you have to help us make a new triangle."
+
+"Okay," the dog said. "I will help you. I like triangles. They are fun."
+
+They picked up the blocks. They made a new triangle. They made it bigger and stronger. They put some blocks on the dog's back. They made the dog part of the triangle.
+
+They marched around the triangle again. They sang their song again. They sang, "We love our triangle, it is so big and strong. We love our triangle, we march and sing along. We love our dog, he is so nice and sweet. We love our dog, he makes our triangle complete."
+Ben and Mia are friends who like to play pretend. They have a big box that they use as a lab. They make up stories about being scientists who invent things. One day, they pretend that they are in a space lab and that they have to stop a bad alien from taking over their lab.
+
+"Look, Mia, there is the alien!" Ben says, pointing to a stuffed toy. "He wants to take our lab and our inventions. We have to stop him!"
+
+"How do we stop him, Ben?" Mia asks, holding a flashlight as a laser. "He looks scary and strong."
+
+"We have to use our brains, Mia. We are smart scientists. We can trick him. Let's pretend that we surrender and then we can surprise him with our laser and our slime." Ben says, making a plan.
+
+"OK, Ben, let's do it. You talk to him and I will hide behind the box." Mia says, following the plan.
+
+Ben walks up to the stuffed toy and says in a loud voice, "Hello, alien. We surrender. You can have our lab and our inventions. Please don't hurt us."
+
+The stuffed toy does not move or say anything, but Ben and Mia pretend that he is listening. Ben moves closer to the toy and says, "Here, take this. It is our best invention. It is warm and soft and nice. You will like it."
+
+Ben hands the toy a pillow and then quickly runs back to the box. Mia jumps out from behind the box and shouts, "Surprise, alien! We tricked you! This is not our best invention. This is our laser and this is our slime. Take that!"
+
+Mia shines the flashlight on the toy and throws some play-doh at it. The toy falls over and Ben and Mia cheer. They hug each other and say, "We did it, Mia! We saved our lab and our inventions. We are the best scientists ever!"
+
+They go back to their box and play with their inventions. They are happy and proud. They like to play pretend in their warm and cozy lab.
+Lila and Ben liked to play with their toy castle. They had many knights and princesses and dragons to make stories with. But their castle was very dirty and dusty. It had been in the attic for a long time.
+
+One day, Lila had an idea. She said to Ben, "Let's polish our castle and make it shiny and pretty. We can use Mommy's cloth and water and soap. It will be fun!"
+
+Ben agreed. He was an obedient boy and liked to help his sister. They took the castle to the bathroom and put it in the sink. They wet the cloth and rubbed it on the castle. They made bubbles and foam and laughed.
+
+But they did not see that the water was running too much. It filled the sink and spilled over the edge. It made a big puddle on the floor. The castle was very wet and slippery.
+
+Mommy heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She saw the mess and was not happy. She said to Lila and Ben, "What are you doing? You made a flood in the bathroom! You should not play with water and soap like that. You could have asked me for help. Now you have to dry the castle and clean the floor."
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry. They said to Mommy, "We are sorry, Mommy. We wanted to polish our castle and make it shiny and pretty. We did not mean to make a mess. We will clean it up. Please do not be mad at us."
+
+Mommy smiled and hugged them. She said, "I know you meant well, but you have to be careful and listen to me. I love you, but you have to follow the rules. Now, let's dry the castle and put it back in your room. Maybe later we can play with it together and make some stories."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They helped Mommy dry the castle and clean the floor. They learned their lesson and were more obedient. They still loved their castle and played with it often. But they never tried to polish it again.
+Lily and Tom are in the car with Mom and Dad. They are going to the park. Lily likes the park. She likes to swing and slide and play with her ball. Tom likes the park too. He likes to run and climb and chase the birds.
+
+On the way to the park, they see a big billboard. It has a picture of a dog and a cat. The dog and the cat are talking. The dog says, "Woof, woof, I am hungry." The cat says, "Meow, meow, I am thirsty." Lily and Tom think the billboard is funny. They laugh and point at it.
+
+"Look, Mom, look, Dad, the dog and the cat are talking!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, they are, honey, but they are not real. They are just a picture," Mom says.
+
+"Why are they talking, then?" Tom asks.
+
+"They are talking to tell people about a new food and drink for pets. It is a way of advertising," Dad says.
+
+"What is advertising?" Lily asks.
+
+"Advertising is when someone tries to make you want to buy something," Dad says.
+
+"Do you want to buy the food and drink for the dog and the cat?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, we don't, because we don't have a dog or a cat. We have a fish, and he eats different food," Mom says.
+
+Lily and Tom look at each other. They think about their fish. They like their fish. He is blue and shiny and swims fast. They don't need a dog or a cat. They are happy with their fish.
+
+They soon arrive at the park. They get out of the car and run to the playground. They have fun swinging and sliding and playing with their ball. They forget about the billboard and the talking dog and cat. They enjoy the sunny day and the fresh air. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their kayak. They take it to the lake and rock it on the water. They pretend they are pirates and explorers. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big duck on the lake. The duck is yellow and brown. It has a long neck and a big beak. The duck swims near their kayak and quacks.
+
+"Hello, duck!" Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The duck nods and follows them. They rock the kayak faster and faster. The duck quacks louder and louder.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Ben says. "The duck is angry. He does not like to rock. He wants to swim."
+
+But Lily does not listen. She likes to rock. She thinks the duck likes it too. She rocks the kayak more and more.
+
+The duck gets very angry. He bites the kayak with his big beak. He makes a hole in it. The water comes in. The kayak sinks.
+
+Lily and Ben scream. They are wet and scared. They swim to the shore. The duck swims away.
+
+They are sad. They have no kayak. They have no fun.
+
+They go home. Their mom gives them a hug and a towel. She makes them hot chocolate. It is sweet and warm.
+
+They drink it and feel better. They say sorry to each other. They promise to be nice to ducks.
+
+They still like to play. But they do not rock their kayak anymore. They rock their chairs instead.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had a big holiday with their mom and dad at the beach. They saw many fish, shells and birds. They had fun in the water and the sand.
+
+One day, they saw a big boat on the water. It was shiny and loud. They wanted to go on the boat and see what was inside. They asked their mom and dad, but they said no. The boat was not for kids. It was for grown-ups who worked on the water.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They thought their mom and dad were mean. They decided to sneak away and go on the boat by themselves. They waited until their mom and dad were busy and ran to the boat. They climbed on the boat and looked around. They saw many buttons, wires and tools. They thought they were toys and started to touch them.
+
+"Stop! Don't touch that!" a voice shouted. It was the captain of the boat. He saw Lily and Ben and was very angry. He told them they were foolish and dangerous. They could have broken the boat or hurt themselves. He told them to get off the boat and go back to their mom and dad. He said he would tell them what they did.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared and sorry. They got off the boat and ran back to their mom and dad. They told them what they did and said they were sorry. Their mom and dad were upset and disappointed. They said they loved them and wanted them to be safe. They said they should never repeat what they did. They said they should listen to them and not go on things that were not for them.
+
+Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They said they were sorry again and hugged their mom and dad. They promised to be good and not be foolish again. They enjoyed the rest of their holiday and played with things that were for them. They had fun and were happy.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Sam.
+
+One day, the sun was very bright and warm. Anna and Ben went to see Sam, but they saw something bad. Sam was melting! His hat was falling, his scarf was loose and his carrot nose was gone. Anna and Ben were very sad and angry.
+
+They saw a boy with a big smile and a carrot in his hand. He was the one who took Sam's nose. He said: "Ha ha, your snowman is gone. He can't talk to you anymore. He doesn't have a language."
+
+Anna and Ben did not like the boy. He was mean and rude. They wanted to get Sam's nose back, but they did not know how. They thought hard and had an idea.
+
+They said to the boy: "You are right, our snowman can't talk to us. But he can talk to you. He is very wise and knows many things. He can tell you a secret, if you give him his nose back."
+
+The boy was curious and greedy. He wanted to know the secret. He gave Sam his nose back and leaned close to his ear. But Sam did not say anything. He was just a snowman.
+
+Anna and Ben laughed and said: "The secret is: you are a fool. You should not take things that are not yours. You should be kind and share. That is what wise people do."
+
+The boy felt ashamed and sorry. He said: "I am sorry, Anna and Ben. I was wrong and mean. Can we be friends?"
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and said: "Yes, we can be friends. But you have to promise to be nice and good."
+
+The boy promised and they all played together. They had fun and learned a lesson. The sun was still bright and warm, but they did not mind. They knew that Sam was happy too.
+Lily was a very intelligent girl. She liked to learn new things and ask questions. She also liked to help her mom in the kitchen. One day, her mom was making a cake and Lily wanted to help.
+
+"Can I mix the batter, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, but be careful. It's very sticky and messy," her mom said. She gave Lily a big spoon and a bowl.
+
+Lily started to stir the batter with the spoon. She liked how it looked and smelled. She wondered how it would taste. She had an idea. She put down the spoon and picked up a fork.
+
+"Mom, can I taste the batter with this fork?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, honey, that's not a good idea. The batter has raw eggs and flour. It can make you sick. I recommend you wait until the cake is baked and cooled. Then you can have a slice," her mom said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She was too curious and hungry. She dipped the fork into the batter and put it in her mouth. She thought it would be yummy, but it was not. It was yucky and bitter. She made a face and spat it out.
+
+"Yuck! This is gross!" Lily said.
+
+She felt something in her throat. It was the fork. She had swallowed it by mistake. She started to choke and cough. She could not breathe. She felt scared and sorry.
+
+"Mom, help me! I swallowed the fork!" Lily cried.
+
+Her mom heard her and ran to her. She saw the fork sticking out of her mouth. She tried to pull it out, but it was too late. The fork had pierced her throat and made her bleed. She called 911, but it was no use. Lily was gone.
+
+Her mom was very sad and angry. She wished she had stopped Lily from eating the batter. She wished Lily had listened to her recommendation. She wished Lily had been more careful and less intelligent.
+Ben and Lily were adventurous twins who liked to explore new places. One day, they found a big box full of old toys in their attic. They decided to sell some of the toys to their friends and neighbors and earn some money.
+
+They took the box outside and set up a table with a sign that said "Toys for Sale". They put different prices on the toys, like one coin, two coins, or three coins. Soon, some kids came to look at the toys and buy some.
+
+"Wow, this is a cool robot!" said Sam, a boy from next door. He gave Ben three coins and took the robot.
+
+"Thank you, Sam!" said Ben. "Do you want a tip?"
+
+"A tip? What is that?" asked Sam.
+
+"A tip is something extra that you give to someone who does a good job or is very nice," explained Ben.
+
+"Oh, I see. Well, you are very nice, Ben. Here, have this sticker. It is a tip," said Sam, and gave Ben a shiny star sticker.
+
+"Wow, thank you, Sam! This is a great tip!" said Ben, and stuck the sticker on his shirt.
+
+Lily was also selling toys to other kids. She sold a doll, a puzzle, and a car. She was very happy with the money she earned.
+
+"Look, Ben, we have so many coins!" she said, and showed him her pile of coins.
+
+"Look, Lily, we have so many tips!" he said, and showed her his stickers, candy, and a flower.
+
+They smiled at each other and hugged. They were very proud of their toy sale. They decided to use some of the money to buy ice cream and share some of the tips with their friends. They had a lot of fun and learned a new word. They were adventurous twins who liked to try new things.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with Ben's dog, Max. Max is big and brown and has a soft fur. Lily and Ben like to pet Max and throw a ball for him.
+
+One day, they go to the park with Max. They see a pond with ducks and fish. Lily and Ben want to feed the ducks and fish. They find some bread and break it into pieces.
+
+"Come on, Max, let's go to the pond!" Ben says. He holds Max's leash and runs to the pond. Lily follows him with the bread.
+
+They get to the pond and see the ducks and fish. They throw some bread into the water. The ducks and fish come to eat the bread. Lily and Ben laugh and clap.
+
+"Look, Max, look at the ducks and fish!" Lily says. She bends down to show Max the pond. Max looks at the pond and sees the ducks and fish. He also sees the bread. He likes bread. He wants to eat the bread.
+
+Max pulls on his leash and jumps into the pond. He splashes the water and chases the ducks and fish. He tries to catch the bread.
+
+"Max, no, stop!" Ben says. He tries to pull Max back, but Max is too strong. Max drags Ben into the pond. Ben falls into the water and gets wet.
+
+"Ben, Ben, are you okay?" Lily says. She drops the bread and runs to the pond. She sees Ben in the water and Max still jumping and barking.
+
+"Help, help, I can't swim!" Ben says. He is scared and cold. He tries to grab Max's leash, but Max bites it and breaks it. Max is free. He swims away from Ben and goes to the other side of the pond.
+
+Lily cries and screams. She does not know what to do. She looks for help, but no one is there. She is alone with Ben and Max in the pond.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play and learn together. One day, they have a quiz at school. The quiz is about animals and colors.
+
+Lily and Tom study hard. They know the names of many animals and colors. They are happy and excited for the quiz.
+
+But Sam is not happy. He is rude. He does not study. He does not like quizzes. He thinks they are boring and hard. He wants to make Lily and Tom sad.
+
+When the quiz starts, Sam sits behind Lily and Tom. He tries to cheat. He looks at their papers. He whispers the wrong answers. He makes noises. He laughs.
+
+Lily and Tom are angry and scared. They cannot focus on the quiz. They do not want to make mistakes. They do not want to lose points. They do not want to listen to Sam.
+
+They turn around and say to Sam: "Please stop! You are rude! You are not our friend! You are not fair! You are not smart! You are not funny! You are bad!"
+
+Sam is surprised and ashamed. He does not know what to say. He stops cheating and making noises. He looks at his own paper. He does not know the answers. He feels sad and sorry.
+
+The teacher sees what is happening. She is not happy. She goes to Sam. She takes his paper. She says to him: "You are rude! You are not honest! You are not respectful! You are not a good student! You have to go to the office! You have to talk to the principal! You have to say sorry to Lily and Tom!"
+
+Sam is scared and sad. He does not want to go to the office. He does not want to talk to the principal. He does not want to say sorry. But he has to. He has no choice. He has done wrong.
+
+Lily and Tom finish the quiz. They do well. They are happy and proud. They are good friends. They are good students. They are good learners. They are good people.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. It is colorful. It has red, yellow, blue and green.
+
+"Let's climb the slide!" Anna says.
+
+"OK!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the slide. They take turns to climb the steps. They hold the rail. They are careful. They reach the top. They sit on the slide. They smile.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Anna says.
+
+They slide down. They laugh. They feel the wind. They land on the sand. They stand up. They dust off their clothes.
+
+"That was fun!" Ben says.
+
+"Let's do it again!" Anna says.
+
+They run to the slide again. They climb the steps again. They slide down again. They laugh again.
+
+They do this many times. They are happy. They are tired.
+
+They see their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She has a bag. She waves to them.
+
+"Hi, kids! Time for a snack!" she says.
+
+They run to their mom. They hug her. She opens the bag. She gives them each a juice box and a cookie. They say thank you. They drink the juice. They eat the cookie. They are thirsty. They are hungry.
+
+They sit on the bench with their mom. They tell her about the slide. She listens. She smiles. She is proud.
+
+They finish their snack. They throw away the trash. They say goodbye to the slide. They hold their mom's hand. They walk home. They are happy. They had a good day.
+Ben and Mia like to play hide and seek. Ben counts to ten and Mia runs to hide. She finds a big box in the garage and climbs inside. She is very quiet and hopes Ben will not find her.
+
+Ben finishes counting and starts his search. He looks in the kitchen, the living room, the bathroom, but he does not see Mia. He wonders where she is. He goes to the garage and hears a loud noise. It is the cat, who is scratching the box.
+
+Ben runs to the box and opens it. He sees Mia and says, "I found you!" Mia is surprised and says, "How did you know I was here?" Ben points to the cat and says, "He helped me. He made a loud noise and I heard him."
+
+Mia laughs and says, "That was a good search. You are a good seeker." Ben smiles and says, "You are a good hider. Do you want to play again?" Mia nods and says, "Yes, let's play again. But this time, can we join the cat? He is fun." Ben agrees and they all go to find a new hiding spot.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find bugs and worms. They also liked to eat melon that their mom gave them for snack.
+
+One day, they found a big melon in the garden. It was green and round and smelled sweet. They wondered who left it there.
+
+"Maybe it is a gift from the fairies," Lila said.
+
+"Or maybe it is a trap from the goblins," Tom said.
+
+They decided to bury the melon in a hole. They thought it would be safe there. They covered it with dirt and leaves and stones.
+
+But they did not see that a nosy squirrel was watching them. The squirrel liked melon too. He waited until Lila and Tom went inside the house. Then he ran to the hole and dug up the melon. He bit a big chunk and ran away with it.
+
+The next day, Lila and Tom came back to the garden. They wanted to check on their melon. But they saw that the hole was empty. The dirt and leaves and stones were scattered. And there was a big bite mark on the melon.
+
+"Who did this?" Lila asked.
+
+"Maybe it was the fairies," Tom said.
+
+"Or maybe it was the goblins," Lila said.
+
+They did not know that it was the nosy squirrel. He was hiding in a tree, eating the rest of the melon. He was very happy and full. He thought that Lila and Tom were very silly to bury such a yummy melon.
+Tom and Jen were best friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hill with a lot of rocks. They wanted to climb it.
+
+"Let's make a seat on top of the hill," Tom said. "We can see everything from there."
+
+"OK, but be careful," Jen said. "The rocks are hard and sharp."
+
+They started to climb the hill. They helped each other with their hands and feet. They found some flat rocks and piled them up. They made a seat.
+
+"Wow, look at us!" Tom said. "We are mighty climbers. We can see the whole park and the sky and the birds."
+
+Jen smiled. She was happy. She looked around. She saw the swings and the slide and the sandbox. She also saw something else. Something big and red and shiny. Something that made a loud noise.
+
+"Tom, look!" Jen said. "A fire truck! It's coming to the park!"
+
+Tom turned his head. He saw the fire truck too. He liked fire trucks. He wanted to see it up close. He wanted to hear the siren and see the hose and the ladder.
+
+"Let's go!" Tom said. He jumped off the seat. He ran down the hill.
+
+"Wait, Tom!" Jen said. She was scared. She saw that the fire truck was not coming to the park. It was going to the house next to the park. The house was on fire. There was smoke and flames and people shouting.
+
+"Tom, stop!" Jen said. She ran after him. She tried to catch him. But Tom was too fast. He ran across the street. He ran towards the fire truck.
+
+Jen screamed. She saw a car coming. The car did not see Tom. The car was going to hit Tom. Jen closed her eyes. She heard a loud honk. She heard a loud screech. She heard a loud thud. She opened her eyes. She saw Tom lying on the ground. He was not moving. He was bleeding. Jen cried. She ran to Tom. She hugged him. She called for help.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and find bugs. Lily saw a big red door in the wall. She wondered what was behind it.
+
+"Look, Max, a door!" she said. "Let's open it and see."
+
+Max followed her. He saw a shiny key hanging on a hook. He took it and put it in the door. He turned it and heard a click. He unlocked the door.
+
+"Wow, you did it!" Lily said. "Let's go in."
+
+They pushed the door and entered a dark room. It was full of old things and dust. They could not see very well.
+
+"Hello?" Lily called. "Is anyone here?"
+
+No one answered. They walked around and touched the things. They felt soft and hard and cold and rough. They found a box with a button. Lily pressed it and heard a loud noise. She got scared.
+
+"Max, what is that?" she asked.
+
+Max looked and saw a big robot. It had lights and wires and metal parts. It moved and spoke.
+
+"Hello, children," the robot said. "I am Bob. I have been waiting for you."
+
+Lily and Max were surprised. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Who are you?" Max asked.
+
+"I am Bob, a friendly robot. I was made by a man who lived here long ago. He liked to invent things. He gave me this key and told me to wait for someone to unlock the door. He said they would be my friends. Are you my friends?"
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt sorry for Bob. He seemed lonely and nice.
+
+"Yes, we are your friends," Lily said. "We like to play and have fun. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Bob smiled. He was happy. He said yes. He followed them out of the door and into the garden. They played and laughed and had a good time. Bob learned new things and showed them his tricks. Lily and Max liked Bob. They thought he was fine. They decided to visit him again. They had found a new friend.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. They had a big bucket to put their finds in.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a big root!" Ben said, holding up a brown and twisty thing. "Maybe it's from a tree or a carrot."
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lily said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Ben gave Lily the root. She felt it with her fingers. It was hard and rough. She smelled it. It was dirty and earthy.
+
+"Let's crawl under the fence and see what's on the other side," Ben said. "Maybe there are more roots there."
+
+"OK, Ben, but be careful," Lily said. "Mommy said we shouldn't go too far."
+
+They crawled under the fence. They saw a big field with tall grass and flowers. They heard a buzzing sound.
+
+"Look, Lily, bees!" Ben said, pointing to a hive on a tree. "Maybe they make honey."
+
+"Ben, don't go near the bees!" Lily said. "They might sting you!"
+
+But Ben was curious. He wanted to see the honey. He crawled closer to the hive. He reached out his hand.
+
+Suddenly, the bees flew out of the hive. They were angry. They saw Ben and Lily. They chased them.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "The bees are stinging me!"
+
+"Run, Ben, run!" Lily shouted. "Crawl back to the fence!"
+
+They crawled as fast as they could. They got under the fence. They ran to the house. They were dirty and sore.
+
+Mommy saw them. She was worried. She took them inside. She put ice and cream on their stings. She hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy," Ben said. "We wanted to see the honey."
+
+"I know, Ben, but you have to be careful," Mommy said. "Bees don't like it when you touch their hive. They protect it. It's their home."
+
+"I understand, Mommy," Ben said. "I won't do it again."
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Mommy," Lily said. "We found a big root in the garden. We thought it was cool."
+
+"It is cool, Lily, but you have to wash it before you play with it," Mommy said. "It's dirty and it might have germs."
+
+"I understand, Mommy," Lily said. "I'll wash it next time."
+
+Mommy smiled. She loved Ben and Lily. They were brave and curious. They learned from their mistakes.
+
+She gave them some cookies and milk. They ate them happily. They forgot about the bees and the root. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. But they do not like to bathe. They think bath time is boring and cold.
+
+One day, Mom says, "It is time to bathe, Anna and Ben. You are very dirty and smelly. Come on, let's go to the bathroom."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "No, Mom, we do not want to bathe. We want to play more. Please, Mom, please."
+
+Mom says, "No, you have to bathe. It is good for you. You will feel fresh and clean. And you can play with your rubber ducks and bubbles in the tub."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "No, no, no. We do not like rubber ducks and bubbles. We like our cars and dolls. Please, Mom, please."
+
+Mom says, "I am sorry, but you have to bathe. No more playing. Come on, or I will be upset."
+
+Anna and Ben see that Mom is upset. They do not want to make Mom upset. They love Mom. They say, "OK, Mom, we will bathe. But can we play a little bit more after we bathe?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can play a little bit more after you bathe. But only a little bit. Then you have to go to bed. It is almost night time."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "OK, Mom, we agree. We will bathe and then play and then go to bed. We love you, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. You are good twins. Now let's go to the bathroom. And do not forget to bring your towels and your purse."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Our purse? Why do we need our purse?"
+
+Mom says, "Because your purse has your toothbrush and your toothpaste. You have to brush your teeth after you bathe. It is good for your teeth."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Oh, yes, we remember. We have to brush our teeth. We will bring our purse. Thank you, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "You are welcome, Anna and Ben. Now let's go to the bathroom. And do not splash too much water, OK?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "OK, Mom, we will not splash too much water. We will be careful. We will have fun. We will bathe."
+Lily likes to play with her friends. She has a big box of toys and games. She wants to share them with her friends. She invites them to come to her house after school. She is very happy.
+
+But when she looks out of the window, she sees rain. The sky is gray and wet. The rain makes noise on the roof. Lily is sad. She thinks her friends will not come. She thinks they will stay at home. She does not like rain.
+
+She asks her mom, "Why does it rain, mom? Can we make it stop?"
+
+Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "Rain is normal, Lily. It is part of nature. It helps the plants and animals grow. Sometimes it rains, and sometimes it is sunny. We cannot make it stop, but we can enjoy it."
+
+She gives Lily a raincoat and boots. She says, "Let's go outside and have some fun. Maybe your friends will come too. They might like to play in the rain with you."
+
+Lily puts on her raincoat and boots. She grabs her umbrella. She goes outside with her mom. She sees puddles and rainbows. She jumps and splashes. She laughs and sings. She feels happy.
+
+She sees her friends walking to her house. They also have raincoats and boots. They wave and smile. They join Lily and her mom. They play in the rain together. They share Lily's toys and games. They have a lot of fun.
+
+Lily thinks rain is not so bad. She thinks rain can be fun. She is glad she invited her friends. She is glad they came. She is glad she has a mom who loves her. She thinks rain is normal, and so is she.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. But sometimes they fight over toys. One day, they find a big box of pills in the bathroom. They think the pills are interesting. They are different colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, I have a red pill and a blue pill!" Tom says.
+
+"No, I want the red pill!" Lily says.
+
+They start to pull the pills from each other. The pills fall on the floor. Some of them break.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Mom says. She hears the noise and comes to the bathroom. She sees the mess. She is angry and scared.
+
+"Tom and Lily, what are you doing? These are not toys. These are medicine. They can make you sick. You should never touch them without me."
+
+She picks up the pills and puts them back in the box. She locks the box in a cabinet. She separates Tom and Lily. She puts Tom in his room and Lily in her room.
+
+"You need a time out. You need to learn to share and to be careful. I will come back later and talk to you."
+
+Tom and Lily feel sorry. They sit on their beds and cry. They wish they did not fight over the pills. They wish they could play together again. They say sorry to Mom in their minds. They hope she will forgive them.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big slide made of metal. It was shiny and smooth. Tim wanted to go on the slide, but Mia was scared.
+
+"Come on, Mia, it's fun!" Tim said. "You can go with me."
+
+"No, Tim, it's too high and fast. I don't like it." Mia said. She shook her head.
+
+Tim insisted. He grabbed Mia's hand and pulled her to the slide. "Don't be a baby, Mia. It's easy. Just sit down and slide."
+
+Mia cried. She tried to get away, but Tim was stronger. He pushed her on the slide. "See, Mia, it's not so bad." He said.
+
+But Mia was right. The slide was too high and fast. She slid down very quickly. She could not stop. She hit the ground hard. She hurt her head and her arm. She screamed.
+
+Tim ran down the slide. He saw Mia lying on the ground. She was bleeding and crying. He felt sorry and scared. He did not mean to hurt her. He wanted to help her, but he did not know how.
+
+A lady heard Mia's scream. She came to the park. She saw Tim and Mia. She called for help. She took Mia to the hospital. She was very angry with Tim. She said he was a bad boy. She said he should not have insisted. She said he should have listened to Mia. She said he should have been careful.
+
+Tim felt very bad. He wished he had not insisted. He wished he had listened to Mia. He wished he had been careful. He hoped Mia would be okay. He learned a lesson. He never insisted again.
+Lily liked to write stories with her crayons. She had many colors and many papers. She wrote about animals, princesses, and pirates. She wrote every day after school.
+
+One day, it was her birthday. She was very happy. She had a cake with candles and a big present. Her mom and dad sang to her and gave her a hug. She blew out the candles and made a wish.
+
+She opened her present and saw a big book. It had many pages and many pictures. It was a book of stories. Her mom and dad said, "We know you love to write stories, Lily. This book is for you. You can write your own stories in it. You can use your crayons or your pencils. You can write whatever you want."
+
+Lily was very excited. She thanked her mom and dad. She said, "This is the best present ever. You are very generous. I love you." She gave them a kiss.
+
+She ran to her room with her book and her crayons. She opened the book and saw a blank page. She thought of a story. She wrote, "Once upon a time, there was a candle who wanted to be a star." She drew a candle with a smile and a star with a sparkle. She wrote more and more. She was very happy. She had a book of her own stories.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They have a dog named Spot. Spot is a good dog, but he is old and sick. He needs to go to the veterinarian. The veterinarian is a person who helps animals.
+
+Ben and Mia are nervous. They do not want Spot to be hurt or sad. They hold his leash and pet his fur. They tell him he is a brave dog.
+
+"Spot, you will be okay," Ben says. "The veterinarian will make you feel better."
+
+"Yes, Spot, we love you," Mia says. "You are our best friend."
+
+But Spot is scared. He does not like the car or the smell of the veterinarian's office. He whines and shakes. He tries to hide under the seat.
+
+"Spot, don't be silly," Ben says. "You have to go out. It's not a big deal."
+
+Ben teases Spot. He thinks it will make him less nervous. But it does not. It makes him more nervous. He barks and growls.
+
+"Ben, stop it," Mia says. "You are not helping. You are making Spot more upset."
+
+Mia does not tease Spot. She hugs him and sings to him. She thinks it will make him calm. And it does. He stops barking and growling. He licks her face.
+
+"Good boy, Spot," Mia says. "You are so sweet."
+
+The veterinarian comes out. He smiles and says hello. He asks Ben and Mia to bring Spot inside. He says he will check him and give him some medicine.
+
+Ben and Mia follow him. They are still nervous, but they are also hopeful. They want Spot to be well. They love him very much.
+Lila and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to swing high and fast. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their skin. They laughed and shouted with joy.
+
+"Look at me, Lila! I can swing higher than you!" Sam said.
+
+"No, you can't, Sam! I can swing higher than you!" Lila said.
+
+They swung and swung until they were tired. They jumped off the swings and ran to the bench. They saw their mom sitting there with a big bottle of water.
+
+"Mom, we are thirsty! Can we have some water, please?" they asked.
+
+"Of course, my loves. Here you go. Drink some water and rest a bit. You did a great job on the swings!" mom said.
+
+She gave them each a cup of water and hugged them. They drank the water and felt better. They looked at the park and saw the trees, the flowers, the birds and the other kids. They saw a distant hill with a big house on top.
+
+"Mom, what is that?" Lila asked, pointing at the hill.
+
+"That is a castle, Lila. It is a very old and beautiful place. Some people live there, but we can't go inside. It is too far and too expensive," mom said.
+
+"Wow, a castle! I wish I could see it closer. Maybe there is a princess or a dragon inside," Sam said.
+
+"Maybe, Sam. But you know what? You don't need a castle to have fun. You have each other, and you have this park, and you have me. And that is more than enough," mom said.
+
+Lila and Sam smiled and nodded. They loved their mom, and they loved the park. They finished their water and ran back to the swings. They swung high and fast again, and they felt happy.
+Sam and Lily are friends. They live next to each other. They like to play outside in the sun. They enjoy running, jumping and laughing.
+
+One day, they see a big dog in the yard. The dog is brown and furry. It has a collar and a leash. The dog barks at them. Sam and Lily are scared. They run to the fence and hide.
+
+"Who is that?" Sam asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a new neighbor," Lily says.
+
+"Maybe it is a bad dog. It sounds tough," Sam says.
+
+They peek over the fence. The dog sees them. It wags its tail and runs to them. It licks their faces and paws at them. Sam and Lily giggle. The dog is not bad. It is friendly.
+
+"Hi, doggy. What is your name?" Lily asks.
+
+A man comes out of the house. He smiles and waves at them. He is the dog's owner.
+
+"Hello, kids. I'm sorry if my dog scared you. He is very playful. His name is Rex. We just moved in. We are your new neighbors," he says.
+
+Sam and Lily smile back. They are not scared anymore. They like Rex and the man.
+
+"Hi, Rex. Hi, neighbor. We are Sam and Lily. We live next door. We like to play outside. Do you want to play with us?" Sam asks.
+
+The man nods. He lets Rex off the leash. Rex runs with Sam and Lily. They have fun together. They enjoy their new neighbor and his dog.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big box under a tree. It had a picture of a robot on it. Lily and Ben ran to the box. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Can we open it?" Lily asked.
+
+"Let's try!" Ben said. They pulled and pushed the box. It was heavy and hard. They could not open it.
+
+They heard a voice from the box. It said, "Hello, I am a robot. I need your help. Please open me."
+
+Lily and Ben were surprised. They looked at each other. They wondered who was talking.
+
+"Who are you?" Ben asked.
+
+"I am a robot. I am a toy. Someone left me here. I want to play with you. Please open me." The voice said.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for the robot. They wanted to play with him. They looked for a way to open the box. They found a hole on the side. They put their hands in the hole. They felt a button. They pressed the button.
+
+The box opened. A lively robot came out. He had shiny metal arms and legs. He had bright eyes and a smile. He said, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very kind. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were happy. They hugged the robot. They played with him in the park. They had a lot of fun. The robot was a good friend. He made them laugh and learn. He was a lively robot.
+Tim and Liz are twins. They like to play games. They are competitive. They want to win.
+
+One day, they play tag. Tim is it. He runs after Liz. Liz runs fast. She laughs. She runs to the porch. She thinks she is safe.
+
+But Tim is smart. He does not follow Liz. He runs around the house. He comes to the porch from the other side. He sees Liz. He hurries. He tags her. He shouts, "You are it!"
+
+Liz is surprised. She is not happy. She says, "That is not fair! You cheated!"
+
+Tim says, "No, I did not cheat. I was clever. You were slow. I win!"
+
+Liz does not like to lose. She gets angry. She chases Tim. She wants to tag him back. They run and run. They have fun. They are competitive.
+Lily and Tom are young. They like to play with glue and paper. They make shapes and animals with glue and paper. They are happy.
+
+One day, they want to make a big sun with glue and paper. They cut a big circle from yellow paper. They cut many rays from orange paper. They glue the rays to the circle. They glue the circle to the wall. They smile. They have a big sun.
+
+But then, Mom comes in. She sees the big sun on the wall. She is not happy. She says, "Lily and Tom, what did you do? You can't glue paper to the wall. That is bad. The glue will make the wall dirty. You have to take it off."
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They like their big sun. They don't want to take it off. They say, "But Mom, we made a big sun. It is pretty. It makes us happy. Please let us keep it."
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you can't keep it. You have to take it off. Now. Or you will be in trouble."
+
+Lily and Tom are scared. They don't want to be in trouble. They try to take off the big sun. But the glue is strong. The paper is stuck. They pull and pull. The paper tears. The glue stays. The wall is messy. They cry.
+
+Mom sees the mess. She sighs. She says, "Oh, Lily and Tom. You made a big mess. Now we have to clean it. Come on, help me. Get a sponge and some water. We have to scrub the glue off the wall."
+
+Lily and Tom get a sponge and some water. They help Mom scrub the glue off the wall. It is hard. It takes a long time. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We won't glue paper to the wall again. We will be good."
+
+Mom hugs them. She says, "I know, Lily and Tom. I know you were trying to have fun. But you have to be careful with glue. Glue is for paper, not for walls. Next time, you can make a big sun with paper and tape. Tape is easy to take off. Tape won't make the wall dirty. OK?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They say, "OK, Mom. We will use tape next time. Thank you, Mom. We love you."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too, Lily and Tom. Now, let's finish cleaning. Then we can have a snack. And maybe we can go outside and see the real sun. It is rising in the sky. It is bright and warm. It is beautiful. Just like you."
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a big doll, a small car, and a soft bear. She also had a table in her room, where she could draw and color.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to play a new game. She put her toys on the table and said, "You are my friends, and we are going to have a tea party." She got some cups and plates from the kitchen and pretended to pour tea and serve cake.
+
+But then, Lily had an idea. She said, "What if I become the table, and you become the toys?" She lay down on the floor and stretched her arms and legs. She said, "Now I am a table, and you can sit on me." She put the cups and plates on her tummy and chest.
+
+The toys did not know what to do. The doll said, "This is silly, Lily. You are not a table, you are a girl." The car said, "This is hard, Lily. You are too thin to be a table, and I might fall off." The bear said, "This is not fun, Lily. You are too quiet to be a table, and I miss your hug."
+
+Lily heard what the toys said, and she felt sad. She said, "I'm sorry, toys. I just wanted to try something new. But you are right, I am not a table, I am a girl. And I love you, my friends." She got up from the floor and picked up her toys. She gave them a big hug and said, "Let's play something else, okay?"
+
+The toys were happy again. They said, "Okay, Lily. We love you, too. You are a good girl, and a good friend. And you can be anything you want, as long as you are still you." They smiled and went back to the table, where they had a real tea party.
+Lily was a big girl now. She had a new bed in her room. But she missed her old crib. She liked to sleep in it and play with her toys. She did not want to sleep in her new bed.
+
+Mommy and Daddy tried to encourage Lily. They said, "You are a big girl now. You can sleep in your new bed. It is cozy and soft. You can have your toys with you. And we are right next door. You are not alone."
+
+But Lily was scared. She thought there were monsters under her new bed. She thought they would come out and get her. She cried and said, "I want my crib. I want my crib."
+
+Mommy and Daddy were sad. They did not know how to help Lily. They thought she was ignorant. They thought she did not understand that there were no monsters. They thought she was being silly.
+
+One night, they had an idea. They brought Lily's old crib to her room. They put it next to her new bed. They said, "Lily, this is your crib. You can sleep in it if you want. But you can also sleep in your new bed. You can choose. You can go back and forth. You can try both. You can be brave."
+
+Lily was surprised. She looked at her crib and her bed. She touched them both. She felt curious. She decided to try her new bed. She climbed in and pulled the blanket over her. She said, "I will sleep in my new bed. But I want my crib here too. Just in case."
+
+Mommy and Daddy smiled. They said, "That's fine, Lily. You can have your crib here too. Just in case. We are proud of you. You are a big girl now. And you are not ignorant. You are smart and brave."
+
+They kissed Lily good night. They turned off the light. They left the door open. They went to their room.
+
+Lily felt happy. She felt safe. She felt cozy and soft. She hugged her toys. She closed her eyes. She slept in her new bed. And she did not see any monsters.
+Lily wanted to play with her new doll, but Mom said she had to take a bath first. Lily was impatient. She did not like baths. They were wet and boring. She wanted to play now.
+
+"Mom, can I play for a little bit?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily, you have to take a bath now. You are dirty and it is almost bedtime. Come on, the bathtub is ready." Mom said.
+
+Lily followed Mom to the bathroom, but she was not happy. She dragged her feet and made a sad face. She hoped Mom would change her mind.
+
+Mom helped Lily get into the bathtub and gave her a rubber duck. Lily did not want the duck. She wanted her doll. She threw the duck out of the bathtub and splashed water everywhere.
+
+"Lily, stop that! You are making a mess. You have to stay in the bathtub and wash yourself. You can play with your doll after you are clean and dry." Mom said.
+
+Lily did not listen. She kept throwing things and splashing water. She did not care if she made Mom angry. She just wanted to get out of the bathtub.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Lily slipped on the wet floor and hit her head on the sink. She started to cry. It hurt a lot. Mom ran to her and hugged her.
+
+"Oh, Lily, are you okay? I'm sorry you got hurt. Let me see your head." Mom said.
+
+Mom looked at Lily's head and saw a small bump. She put some ice on it and kissed it. She told Lily she was brave and she loved her.
+
+Lily felt sorry. She realized she was wrong. She should have listened to Mom and taken a bath. She should not have been impatient and naughty. She wasted time and caused trouble. She hugged Mom and said she was sorry.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But next time, please do what I say. It is for your own good. I want you to be healthy and happy. And you know what? You can still play with your doll for a little bit. But only if you finish your bath and get ready for bed." Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She thanked Mom and got back into the bathtub. She washed herself and played with the duck. She was careful not to splash water. She learned her lesson. She decided to be more patient and obedient. She knew Mom was right. Baths were not so bad after all.
+Lily and Tom are playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily is the seeker and Tom is the hider. Lily counts to ten and then looks for Tom. She sees a big bush and thinks Tom might be hiding there. She walks to the bush and peeks behind it.
+
+"Boo!" Tom shouts and jumps out of the bush. He makes Lily jump and laugh. He is holding a jar with a fly inside. He caught the fly when he was hiding.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a fly!" Tom says and shows her the jar. "It is my pet now. I will call it Buzz."
+
+Lily looks at the fly. It is flying around the jar and hitting the glass. It looks scared and sad. Lily feels sorry for the fly.
+
+"Tom, that is not nice," Lily says. "The fly does not want to be in the jar. It wants to be free and fly in the sky. You should let it go."
+
+Tom shakes his head. "No, Lily, it is my fly. I caught it fair and square. It is fun to watch it. It will be safe in the jar. I will give it some food and water."
+
+Lily does not agree. She thinks the fly is not happy in the jar. She wants to help the fly. She waits for Tom to look away and then grabs the jar. She opens the lid and lets the fly out.
+
+The fly zooms out of the jar and flies away. It is free and happy. Tom sees what Lily did and gets angry. He tries to catch the fly again, but it is too fast. He yells at Lily and chases her.
+
+"Lily, you are mean! You let my fly go! Give it back to me!" Tom says.
+
+Lily runs away from Tom. She feels bad for making him mad, but she also feels good for saving the fly. She hopes Tom will forgive her and find another pet. She hopes the fly will find a safe place to live. She hopes they can still be friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a lady with a blue dress. She walks very fast and smells nice.
+
+"Who is she?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe she is going to a party," Ben says.
+
+They follow the lady. They want to see where she goes. They walk and walk and walk. They cross the street and the bridge. They see many cars and birds and flowers.
+
+"Look, she is going in that big house!" Anna says.
+
+They run to the house. They peek through the window. They see the lady with the blue dress. She hugs a man with a suit. He gives her a gift. She opens it. It is a bottle of perfume.
+
+"Wow, she is happy!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, she is. Maybe he is her husband," Anna says.
+
+They smile. They think the lady and the man are nice. They walk back to the park. They play and laugh. They are happy too.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they found a big rock that looked like a palace. It had many holes and bumps that they could climb and hide in.
+
+"Let's pretend this is our palace," said Lily. "We can be the king and the queen of the park."
+
+"OK," said Ben. "But who will be the king and who will be the queen?"
+
+They thought for a moment. Then they had an idea.
+
+"Let's take turns," said Lily. "You can be the king first, and I can be the queen. Then we can switch."
+
+"OK," said Ben. "But we need crowns to show that we are the king and the queen."
+
+They looked around and saw some flowers and leaves. They picked some and made crowns for themselves. They put them on their heads and smiled.
+
+"Wow, you look fit," said Ben. "You are a fit queen."
+
+"Thank you," said Lily. "You are a fit king too."
+
+They went to their rock palace and had fun. They made rules and gave orders. They waved to the other children and animals. They felt happy and proud. They were the king and the queen of the park.
+Tim and Liz were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They found a big shell that was closed. Tim said, "Maybe there is an oyster inside. Oysters have pearls. Let's open it and see."
+
+Liz said, "No, Tim. Oysters are alive. They need water. If we open it, we will hurt it. Let's put it back in the sea."
+
+Tim did not listen to Liz. He wanted to see the pearl. He took a stick and tried to pry the shell open. But the oyster was strong. It did not want to open. It sprayed water at Tim's face. Tim was surprised and dropped the shell. He was wet and salty.
+
+Liz laughed. She said, "See, Tim. The oyster did not like that. It told you to leave it alone. You are messy now. Come on, let's go wash your face."
+
+Tim was not happy. He said, "But I wanted to see the pearl. Maybe it was shiny and pretty."
+
+Liz said, "Maybe, but pearls are not more important than oysters. Oysters are living things. They have feelings. They do not like to be hurt. Maybe next time you will listen to me."
+
+Tim nodded. He said, "You are right, Liz. I am sorry, oyster. I hope you are okay. Let's go wash my face and play something else."
+
+They left the shell on the beach and ran to the water. They splashed and played and had fun. They forgot about the oyster and the pearl. They were happy.
+Lily liked to read books with her mom. She could not read all the words, but she knew some symbols. She liked the symbol of a star, and the symbol of a heart, and the symbol of a cat. She pointed at them when she saw them in the books.
+
+One night, mom read her a book about a princess and a dragon. Lily liked the pictures, but she was sleepy. She yawned and rubbed her eyes.
+
+"Are you tired, Lily?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom. Can we read more tomorrow?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. Let's finish this page and then we'll go to bed." mom said.
+
+They read the last page, where the princess and the dragon became friends. Lily smiled and hugged mom.
+
+"I like this book, mom. Thank you for reading it to me." Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. I love you very much." mom said.
+
+They kissed and said good night. Lily snuggled with her teddy bear and fell asleep. Mom turned off the light and closed the door. She was happy that Lily loved to read.
+Anna liked to chew gum. She liked how it was smooth and sweet in her mouth. She liked to blow bubbles and pop them. She had a secret stash of gum in her closet, under her clothes.
+
+One day, her mom told her to clean her closet. She said it was too messy and full of things she did not need. Anna did not want to clean her closet. She wanted to chew gum and play with her dolls. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to."
+
+Her mom was not happy. She said, "Anna, you have to clean your closet. It is your chore. If you don't, you will not get any dessert tonight." Anna did not like that. She loved dessert. She loved cake and ice cream and cookies. She said, "Fine, mom, I will clean my closet."
+
+She went to her closet and opened the door. She saw her gum under her clothes. She smiled and took one. She put it in her mouth and started to chew. She thought, "I will chew one gum and then I will clean my closet. Mom will not know."
+
+But she did not chew one gum. She chewed two, then three, then four. She chewed and chewed and blew and popped. She forgot about cleaning her closet. She forgot about dessert. She forgot about everything but gum.
+
+She did not hear her mom come to her room. She did not see her mom open the door. She did not notice her mom's angry face. She only heard her mom's loud voice. She said, "Anna, what are you doing? Look at this mess! Look at all this gum! How many did you chew? You are in big trouble, young lady!"
+
+Anna stopped chewing. She looked at her mom. She looked at her closet. She looked at her gum. She felt scared and sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to chew gum. I like gum. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Her mom sighed. She said, "Anna, I know you like gum, but you can't chew so much. It is bad for your teeth and your tummy. And you can't hide things in your closet. You have to be honest and responsible. And you have to do your chores. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry, mom. I will clean my closet. I will not chew so much gum. I will be good."
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "That's good, Anna. I love you. Now, let's clean this closet together. And maybe, if you do a good job, you can have a little dessert tonight. But no more gum, okay?"
+
+Anna smiled. She said, "Okay, mom. I love you too. Thank you, mom." She hugged her mom and then they cleaned the closet. Anna learned her lesson. She did not chew so much gum anymore. She did her chores. She was happy. And she still liked gum, but only a little.
+Sara and Tom are in school. They sit next to each other in class. Sara likes Tom, but Tom does not like Sara. He thinks she is noisy and bossy. He likes to play with his cars and his blocks.
+
+One day, the teacher gives them a new book to read. It is a big book with many pictures and words. It is an expensive book. The teacher says they have to be careful with it and share it. Sara wants to look at the book first. She grabs it from the teacher's desk and opens it. Tom wants to look at the book too. He tries to take it from Sara, but she holds it tight.
+
+"Let me see the book, Sara!" Tom says.
+
+"No, it is my turn! You can see it later!" Sara says.
+
+They pull the book from each other. The book tears in the middle. The teacher hears the noise and turns around. She sees the broken book and the angry children. She is very upset.
+
+"Sara and Tom, what have you done? This was an expensive book! You have to pay for it!" the teacher says.
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They do not have money to pay for the book. They start to cry. They blame each other for the accident.
+
+"It was Tom's fault! He pinched me and tried to take the book!" Sara says.
+
+"No, it was Sara's fault! She was greedy and did not share the book!" Tom says.
+
+The teacher does not believe them. She says they have to go to the principal's office. The principal is a big man with a loud voice. He makes the children sit in front of his desk. He looks at them with his big pupils. He is very angry.
+
+"Sara and Tom, you have been very naughty. You have ruined an expensive book. You have to say sorry to the teacher and to each other. You also have to do extra work to pay for the book. Do you understand?" the principal says.
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They are very sorry. They do not want to fight anymore. They say sorry to the teacher and to each other. They hug and make up. They promise to be nice and to share. The teacher and the principal are happy. They hope the children have learned their lesson.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big mirror in the attic. They want to have some fun with it.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make funny faces in the mirror!" Tom says. He sticks out his tongue and crosses his eyes. He looks very silly.
+
+Lily laughs and watches him. She thinks he is very funny. She tries to make funny faces too. She puffs up her cheeks and wiggles her nose. She looks very cute.
+
+Tom and Lily take turns making funny faces in the mirror. They giggle and have a lot of fun. They forget about the time.
+
+"Tom, Lily, where are you?" Mom calls from downstairs. She is looking for them.
+
+Tom and Lily hear her voice. They stop making funny faces. They run to the door.
+
+"Here we are, Mom!" they say. They smile and hug her.
+
+"What were you doing in the attic?" Mom asks.
+
+"We were playing with the mirror, Mom. It was very funny!" Tom and Lily say.
+
+Mom smiles and looks at the mirror. She sees their happy faces. She thinks they are very sweet. She is glad they had fun.
+Anna likes cereal a lot. She eats it every morning with milk and fruit. She has a pretty bowl with flowers on it. She always asks for her pretty bowl when she has cereal.
+
+One day, Anna's mom says they have no more cereal. She says they have toast and eggs instead. Anna does not like toast and eggs. She wants cereal. She says "No, no, no! I want cereal! I want my pretty bowl!"
+
+Anna's mom tries to make her happy. She says "I'm sorry, Anna, but we ran out of cereal. We can go to the store later and buy more. But now you have to eat something else. How about toast and eggs? They are yummy and good for you."
+
+Anna shakes her head. She insists on cereal. She says "No, no, no! I want cereal! I want my pretty bowl! Please, please, please!"
+
+Anna's mom sighs. She does not know what to do. She loves Anna, but she cannot give her cereal. She thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea. She says "Okay, Anna, I have a surprise for you. How about you eat some oatmeal? It is like cereal, but warm and soft. And you can have your pretty bowl, too. And you can add some honey and raisins to make it sweet and fun. What do you say?"
+
+Anna looks at her mom. She thinks about oatmeal. She likes honey and raisins. She likes her pretty bowl. She smiles. She says "Okay, mom, I will try oatmeal. Thank you for the surprise. I love you."
+
+Anna's mom smiles, too. She hugs Anna and says "I love you, too, sweetie. Now let's go make some oatmeal. And maybe later we can have some cereal as a snack."
+Ben was a boy who liked to play with bugs. He had a jar where he kept a beetle. He named the beetle Bob. Ben liked to watch Bob crawl and dig in the dirt. He thought Bob was his friend.
+
+One day, Ben took Bob outside to show him to his sister, Lily. Lily was older than Ben. She did not like bugs. She said they were icky and gross. She said Bob was not a friend, but a pest. She said Ben should let Bob go.
+
+Ben did not like what Lily said. He said Bob was a good bug. He said Lily was ignorant. He did not know what ignorant meant, but he heard his dad say it once. He thought it meant mean and silly.
+
+Lily got angry at Ben. She said he was ignorant too. She said he did not know anything about bugs. She said bugs were bad for plants and people. She said Bob could bite or sting or make Ben sick.
+
+Ben got scared. He did not want Bob to hurt him. He did not want to be sick. He wondered if Lily was right. He looked at Bob in the jar. Bob looked small and harmless. He looked like he was happy in the dirt.
+
+Ben sighed. He did not know what to do. He loved Bob, but he did not want to be ignorant. He wished he knew more about bugs. He wished Lily was nicer. He wished he had someone to help him.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had a big wardrobe where they kept their clothes and toys. Sometimes they pretended that the wardrobe was a magic door to another world.
+
+One day, they decided to play a game of hide and seek. Sara said, "I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will find you." Ben nodded and ran to the wardrobe. He opened the door and crawled inside. He saw a lot of coats and dresses and shoes. He pushed them aside and found a small space at the back. He thought it was a good hiding spot.
+
+Sara finished counting and looked around the room. She saw the wardrobe door was open. She smiled and walked towards it. She thought Ben was hiding there. She opened the door wider and stepped inside. She saw the coats and dresses and shoes. She moved them and called, "Ben, where are you? I found you!"
+
+But Ben did not answer. Sara felt something strange. The wardrobe was not a wardrobe anymore. It was a split. There was a crack in the wall and a bright light coming from it. Sara was curious and scared. She peeked through the crack and saw a different world. There were trees and flowers and animals and snow. She heard a voice saying, "Hello, little girl. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+Sara turned around and saw a big lion with a mane and a tail. He looked friendly and wise. He was the one who spoke. Sara was surprised and amazed. She wanted to see the new world, but she also wanted to find Ben. She asked, "Who are you? Where is Ben? Is he here?"
+
+The lion smiled and said, "I am Aslan, the king of this world. It is called Narnia. Ben is here too. He came through the split before you. He is fine. He is with some friends of mine. They are waiting for you. Do you want to join them?"
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She was curious and excited, but she also missed her room and her parents. She asked, "Can we go back to our world later? Will the split stay open?"
+
+Aslan nodded and said, "Yes, you can go back whenever you want. The split will stay open as long as you have the wardrobe in your room. It is a special wardrobe. It connects our worlds. But you have to be careful. Not everyone in Narnia is good. There are some enemies who want to harm you and me. You have to be brave and smart. Will you come with me?"
+
+Sara looked at Aslan and felt a warm feeling in her heart. She trusted him and wanted to see Ben. She said, "Yes, I will come with you. Thank you, Aslan." She took his paw and followed him through the split. She did not know what adventures awaited her in Narnia, but she was ready to find out.
+Tom and Lily wanted to mail a card to their grandma. They made the card with paper, crayons and stickers. They wrote "We love you, Grandma" and drew hearts and flowers. They were very proud of their card.
+
+They put the card in an envelope and asked their mom to take them to the mail box. Their mom said yes, but they had to put on their gear first. It was cold and snowy outside. They put on their hats, scarves, gloves, boots and coats. They looked like snowmen.
+
+They walked to the mail box with their mom. Tom held the card in his hand. He was very careful not to drop it. Lily was not so careful. She was clumsy. She slipped on the ice and fell down. She started to cry.
+
+Tom ran to help his sister. He forgot about the card. The card flew out of his hand and landed in a puddle. The water made the paper wet and the crayons and stickers runny. The card was ruined.
+
+Tom and Lily were very sad. They had worked so hard on the card. They wanted to make their grandma happy. Their mom hugged them and said it was okay. She said they could make another card and mail it tomorrow. She said their grandma would love them no matter what. She said they were very sweet and brave. Tom and Lily smiled. They still loved their grandma. And they still loved each other.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. Sara was curious. She wanted to see what was behind the tree.
+
+"Come on, Tom, let's go behind the tree!" Sara said.
+
+"No, Sara, it's dark and scary. There might be monsters or bugs or snakes," Tom said.
+
+"Don't be silly, Tom. There are no monsters or bugs or snakes. It's just a tree. Come on, it will be fun!" Sara said.
+
+She pulled Tom by the hand and they ran behind the tree. They saw a big bow on the ground. It was red and shiny and had a long string. Sara picked it up and smiled.
+
+"Look, Tom, a bow! Maybe it's a gift for us. Maybe someone left it here for us to find. Maybe we can use it to play," Sara said.
+
+She tried to pull the string, but it was too hard. She gave the bow to Tom and asked him to try. Tom pulled the string, but it was too hard for him too. He looked at the bow and saw something strange. He saw a shadow on the bow. It was a big shadow, like a person. But there was no one there. The shadow moved and made a sound.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing with my bow?" the shadow said.
+
+Sara and Tom were scared. They dropped the bow and ran away from the tree. They ran back to the slide and the swings and the sandbox. They did not want to play with the bow or the shadow. They wanted to play with their toys and their friends.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned that some things are not for them to touch. They learned that some things are better left alone. They learned that some things are not as fun as they seem.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. Sara has a lovely phone. It is pink and shiny. It can make sounds and show pictures. Ben likes Sara's phone. He wants to play with it.
+
+"Can I have your phone, Sara?" Ben asks.
+
+"No, Ben. It is my phone. You have your own toys," Sara says.
+
+"But your phone is so lovely. Please, Sara. Just for a little bit," Ben begs.
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She likes Ben, but she loves her phone. She does not want to share it. She has an idea.
+
+"OK, Ben. I will lend you my phone. But you have to give me something in return. You have to lend me your car. It is blue and fast. I like your car," Sara says.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He likes his car, but he wants Sara's phone. He agrees to the trade.
+
+"OK, Sara. I will lend you my car. But you have to be careful with it. And you have to give it back soon," Ben says.
+
+They swap their toys. Ben plays with the phone. Sara plays with the car. They are happy for a while.
+
+But then, something goes wrong. Ben drops the phone. It makes a loud noise. It cracks and stops working. Ben is scared. He does not know what to do. He looks at Sara. Sara sees the broken phone. She is angry. She cries.
+
+"Ben, you broke my phone! You are a bad friend! Give me back my car! I want my phone!" Sara shouts.
+
+Ben feels sorry. He does not mean to break the phone. He tries to fix it. He cannot. He gives Sara back her car. He apologizes.
+
+"Sara, I am sorry. I did not mean to break your phone. It was an accident. Please, do not be mad at me. I am still your friend," Ben says.
+
+Sara looks at Ben. She looks at her car. She looks at her phone. She is sad. She misses her phone. But she also misses Ben. She knows he is sorry. She decides to forgive him.
+
+"Ben, I am still mad at you. But I am also still your friend. I forgive you. But you have to help me get a new phone. And you have to be more careful with other people's things," Sara says.
+
+Ben nods. He hugs Sara. He promises to help her. They are friends again. They play with their toys. They are happy again.
+Tom and Lily like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different shapes and colors. They can make towers, houses, cars and animals with their blocks.
+
+One day, they find a new block in their toy box. It is a yellow square block. It is very shiny and smooth. Tom and Lily want to play with it. They both reach for it at the same time.
+
+"Mine!" Tom says. He grabs the block and holds it tight.
+
+"No, mine!" Lily says. She pulls the block and tries to take it from Tom.
+
+They tug and pull and shout. They are not happy. They are angry.
+
+Suddenly, Tom lets go of the block. It flies out of his hand and strikes Lily on the nose. Lily cries out in pain. She drops the block and holds her nose.
+
+Tom feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He picks up the block and gives it to Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. You can have the block. Are you okay?" Tom says.
+
+Lily stops crying. She takes the block and looks at Tom. She sees that he is sorry. She smiles and hugs him.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. I'm okay. Do you want to play with the block together?" Lily says.
+
+Tom nods and hugs her back.
+
+"Yes, Lily. Let's play together. We can share the block. We are friends." Tom says.
+
+They play with the block and their other blocks. They make a big yellow square house. They are happy. They are friends.
+Sara and Ben were playing with dough in the kitchen. They liked to make shapes and animals with the dough. Sara made a star and Ben made a snake.
+
+"Look at my star!" Sara said. "It is so pretty and shiny."
+
+"Look at my snake!" Ben said. "It is so long and scary."
+
+They showed each other their dough creations. They were proud of what they made.
+
+But then, Mom came in and said, "Time to clean up, kids. We have to put the dough away."
+
+Sara and Ben did not want to stop playing. They wanted to keep their shapes and animals.
+
+"No, Mom!" Sara said. "I want to keep my star!"
+
+"No, Mom!" Ben said. "I want to keep my snake!"
+
+Mom shook her head. "You can't keep them, kids. The dough will get hard and dry. Then you can't play with it anymore. You have to put it in the box and save it for later."
+
+Sara and Ben were sad. They did not want to lose their dough creations. They did not want to put them in the box.
+
+But Mom was firm. "Come on, kids. It's time to clean up. You can make new shapes and animals next time. And you can remember what you made today. You can draw them or tell me about them. But you have to put the dough away now."
+
+Sara and Ben sighed. They knew Mom was right. They did not want the dough to get hard and dry. They wanted to play with it again. They picked up their shapes and animals and put them in the box. They said goodbye to their star and snake.
+
+"Bye, star!" Sara said.
+
+"Bye, snake!" Ben said.
+
+They closed the box and gave it to Mom. Mom smiled and hugged them.
+
+"Good job, kids. You are very good at making shapes and animals with dough. I'm proud of you. And I'm sure you will remember what you made today. You can tell me about them later. Now, how about a snack?"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They were hungry. They followed Mom to the table. They still felt a little sad, but they also felt happy. They had fun playing with dough. And they had each other. They were friends. And they would play with dough again.
+Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. One day, they saw a large hole in the ground. It was near the fence. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go, Ben!" Mia said. "Maybe there are bugs or rocks or treasure in the hole!"
+
+Ben was not sure. He saw a sign on the fence. It had some words he did not know. But he saw a picture of a man with a hard hat and a shovel. He thought the man was digging the hole.
+
+"Maybe we should not go, Mia," Ben said. "The sign looks like it says 'stop' or 'no'. Maybe the hole is not for us."
+
+Mia did not listen. She ran to the hole. She looked inside. She saw nothing but dirt. She was disappointed. She wanted to find something fun.
+
+She leaned over the edge of the hole. She wanted to see more. But she lost her balance. She fell into the hole. She screamed.
+
+Ben heard her scream. He ran to the hole. He saw Mia at the bottom. She was hurt. She was crying. He wanted to help her. But the hole was too deep. He could not reach her.
+
+He yelled for help. He hoped someone would hear him. He hoped someone would come. He hoped someone would prevent Mia from dying.
+
+But no one came. No one heard him. No one prevented Mia from dying.
+
+Ben was alone. He was sad. He wished he had stopped Mia from going to the hole. He wished he had read the sign. He wished he had saved Mia.
+
+He learned a hard lesson. He learned that some holes are not for playing. He learned that some holes are for burying. He learned that some holes are for taking away the earth and the people he loved.
+Tim is a boy who likes to play with cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. One day, he goes to the park with his mom. He brings his favorite car, a red one that is very fast.
+
+At the park, he sees a girl who is playing with a ball. She has a yellow shirt with a flower on it. Tim thinks her shirt is pretty. He wants to play with her, but he is shy. He watches her from a distance, while he drives his car on the grass.
+
+The girl sees Tim and his car. She thinks his car is cool. She wants to play with him, but she is shy too. She kicks her ball towards him, hoping he will notice. The ball rolls and hits his car, making it flip over.
+

+
+"Yes, I do. Do you like balls?" the girl asks.

+
+"Ribbit, ribbit!" the frog said, jumping out of the fridge. Grandma screamed and ran away. Anna and Ben laughed and ran after her. They showed her the blueberries in their pockets and said, "Surprise, grandma, we played a joke on you! We put the frog in the fridge and hid the blueberries!"
+
+Grandma was not angry. She was happy that Anna and Ben had a good sense of humor. She hugged them and said, "You are very clever and funny, my dear grandchildren. But next time, please don't scare me with a frog. I prefer blueberries!"
+

+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toy boats in the bathtub. One day, they had a big idea. They wanted to make an island in the tub.
+
+They got some sand from the garden and put it in a big bowl. They poured some water on it and mixed it with their hands. Then they dumped the sand in the tub and made a hill. They put some rocks and shells on top. They were very proud of their island.

+One day, Timmy saw a big box in the living room. It had a bow on it. He ran to it and opened it. Inside was a new guitar. It was shiny and red. Timmy was very happy. He thanked his mom and dad. They said it was a gift for his birthday.
+
+Timmy wanted to play his new guitar right away. He took it out of the box and strummed it. It sounded different from his old guitar. He tried to tune it, but he did not know how. He asked his mom and dad for help. They said they were busy. They told him to accept the new guitar and learn to play it.
+
+Timmy felt sad. He did not like the new guitar. He missed his old guitar. He looked for it, but he could not find it. He asked his mom and dad where it was. They said they gave it away. They said he did not need it anymore. They said he should be grateful for the new guitar.

+
+Tom is very curious and picks up the shiny thing. It is wet and cold and has many colors. He thinks it is a treasure and shows it to Spot. Spot sniffs it and licks it. He does not like it and barks. Tom laughs and puts the shiny thing in his pocket. He wants to show it to his mom and dad later.
+
+Tom and Spot keep playing in the garden. They run and jump and have fun. They do not see the dark clouds in the sky. Soon, it starts to rain and they get very wet.

+
+"Who broke your doll, Sara?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. I left it on the grass and when I came back, it was torn and dirty," Sara said.

+
+But Anna does not listen. She is bossy. She thinks she knows how to bake better than her mom. She puts the sugar in her mouth and runs away.
+
+"Anna, come back!" her mom says. "That is not nice. You have to share the sugar. And you have to help me bake. Come and mix the eggs and the flour."
+
+But Anna does not come back. She hides under the table. She eats more sugar. She thinks she is smart. She thinks her mom will not find her.
+
+But her mom does find her. She sees the sugar on Anna's face and on the floor. She is not happy. She is angry. She takes the sugar from Anna and puts it back in the jar. She tells Anna to go to her room. She says Anna has to say sorry.

+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower. They worked hard and put many blocks on top of each other. The tower was very tall and colorful.
+
+Tommy was watching them. He was bored and mean. He wanted to have fun. He thought of a bad idea. He decided to steal some blocks from the tower. He sneaked behind Lily and Ben and took some blocks from the bottom. He ran away with them and laughed.
+
+Lily and Ben heard a loud crash. They turned around and saw their tower falling down. They were sad and angry. They saw Tommy with their blocks. They shouted at him.
+
+"Tommy, why did you steal our blocks? That was not nice. You made our tower fall down. You broke our game. Give us back our blocks!"
+
+Tommy did not care. He said, "I don't care. I wanted to have fun. Your blocks are mine now. Go away!"
+
+Lily and Ben did not go away. They ran after Tommy and tried to get their blocks back. They had a big fight. They pushed and pulled and yelled. They made a big mess.
+
+Mommy heard the noise. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben and Tommy fighting. She saw the blocks and the broken tower. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, all of you! What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Lily and Ben told Mommy what Tommy did. They said, "Tommy stole our blocks. He made our tower fall down. He was mean to us. He did not share."
+
+Mommy looked at Tommy. She said, "Tommy, is that true? Did you steal their blocks? Did you make their tower fall down? Did you not share?"
+
+Tommy was scared. He knew he did something wrong. He said, "Yes, Mommy. I did that. I'm sorry."
+
+Mommy said, "Tommy, that was very bad. You should not steal. You should not make things fall down. You should not be mean. You should share. Sharing is good. Sharing is helpful. Sharing makes friends. Do you want to have friends?"
+
+Tommy said, "Yes, Mommy. I want to have friends."
+
+Mommy said, "Then you should say sorry to Lily and Ben. You should give them back their blocks. You should help them build their tower again. You should play nicely with them. Can you do that?"

+Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two coal eyes.
+
+"Look, Lila, a bird!" Tom says. He points to a small brown bird on a branch. The bird has a nest in the tree. The nest is made of sticks and leaves.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Lila says. She waves to the bird. The bird chirps back. It looks cold and hungry.
+
+"Can we feed the bird, Tom?" Lila asks. She has some bread in her pocket. She breaks a piece and throws it to the bird.
+
+"Sure, Lila, but be careful. Don't go too close to the nest. The bird might be scared," Tom says. He watches as the bird hops down and pecks at the bread.
+
+Lila wants to see the nest better. She walks to the tree and reaches for a branch. She pulls on the branch to lift herself up. But the branch is icy and slippery. Lila loses her grip and falls down. She lands on the snow with a thud.
+
+"Ouch!" Lila cries. She rubs her head and her arm. They hurt.
+
+"Are you okay, Lila?" Tom asks. He runs to her and helps her up. He hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Lila. You should have listened to me. The branch was too icy."
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Tom. I was silly. I wanted to see the nest," Lila says. She sniffles and wipes her nose.
+
+The bird flies back to the nest. It looks at Lila and Tom. It chirps again. It sounds like it is saying, "Thank you for the bread. And be careful next time."
+
+Lila and Tom smile at the bird. They say, "You're welcome, bird. And we will be careful." They hold hands and walk back to their snowman. They are happy to have a new friend.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They dig a big hole with their shovels. They want to see what is underground.
+
+"Look, I found a worm!" Tom says. He holds up a long, slimy thing.
+
+"Yuck, don't touch it!" Lily says. She makes a face.
+
+"Why not? It is just a worm. Maybe it tastes good," Tom says. He puts the worm near his mouth.
+
+"No, don't eat it! It is dirty and dry and gross!" Lily says. She grabs the worm from Tom's hand and throws it back in the hole.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Tom says. He tries to get the worm again.
+
+"Stop it, Tom! Worms are not food. They are friends. They help the plants grow," Lily says. She covers the hole with dirt.
+
+"Fine, I won't eat the worm. But I am hungry. Let's go inside and have a snack," Tom says. He drops his shovel.
+
+"Okay, let's go. Maybe we can have some cookies. They are sweet and soft and yummy," Lily says. She picks up her shovel.
+
+They run inside, leaving the worm underground. The worm is happy. It does not want to be eaten. It wants to dig and wiggle and live.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They pretended to be animals and made funny noises.
+
+"Roar! I'm a lion and I'm going to catch you!" Ben said.
+
+"Meow! I'm a cat and I'm too fast for you!" Lily said.
+
+They ran around the trees and the flowers until they heard their mom call them.
+
+"Kids, it's time for lunch! Come inside and wash your hands!"
+
+Lily and Ben stopped playing and ran to the house. They were hungry and thirsty. They hoped mom had made something yummy.
+
+They sat at the table and saw their plates. There was bread and cheese and juice. And there was also broccoli.
+
+"Broccoli? I don't like broccoli!" Ben said.
+
+"Me neither! It's green and yucky!" Lily said.
+
+They pushed their broccoli to the side and ate the other things.
+
+"Kids, you have to eat your broccoli. It's good for you. It makes you strong and healthy." Mom said.
+
+"But mom, we don't want to eat it. Can we have something else?" Lily and Ben said.
+
+"No, you have to eat what's on your plate. Broccoli is not yucky, it's tasty. And it's warm, not cold. Here, try a bite." Mom said.
+
+She picked up a piece of broccoli and held it to Ben's mouth.
+
+Ben made a face and closed his mouth. He shook his head.
+
+"No, no, no, no, no!" He said.
+
+Mom tried to do the same with Lily, but she also refused.
+
+"No, no, no, no, no!" She said.
+
+Mom sighed and put the broccoli down.
+
+"Fine, if you don't want to eat your broccoli, you can't have dessert. And you have to freeze in your seats until you change your mind." She said.
+
+She got up and went to the kitchen.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were sad and angry. They wanted dessert. They wanted ice cream. But they didn't want broccoli.
+
+They sat in their seats and pretended to freeze. They didn't move or talk. They just stared at their plates.
+
+They hoped mom would come back and give them ice cream. But she didn't.
+
+They started to feel cold and bored. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had eaten their broccoli.
+
+They looked at each other again. They had an idea.
+
+They reached for their broccoli and put it in their mouths. They chewed and swallowed. It wasn't so bad. It was warm and a little crunchy. It wasn't yucky.
+
+They smiled and nodded. They finished their broccoli and drank their juice.
+
+They called mom and showed her their plates.
+
+"Mom, we ate our broccoli! Can we have dessert now?" Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom came back and saw their plates. She was happy and proud.
+
+"Wow, you ate your broccoli! Good job, kids! You are strong and healthy. And yes, you can have dessert now. I have ice cream for you. What flavor do you want?" She said.
+
+Lily and Ben cheered and hugged mom.
+
+"Thank you, mom! We love you! We want chocolate ice cream!" They said.
+
+Mom smiled and gave them each a bowl of chocolate ice cream. They ate it and licked their spoons. It was sweet and cold. It was yummy.
+
+They were glad they ate their broccoli. They learned something new. They learned that sometimes things that look yucky are actually tasty. And they learned that mom knows best.
+Tom has a big toy car. He likes to play with it every day. He makes it go fast and loud. He does not let anyone else touch it. He says it is his and he owns it.
+
+One day, he goes to the park with his mom. He sees a girl with a small toy car. It is pink and shiny. It is different from his car. He wants to see it. He runs to the girl and tries to grab her car.
+
+"Hey, stop!" the girl says. "This is my car. I own it. You can't have it."
+
+Tom does not listen. He pulls hard on the car. The girl pulls back. They both fall on the grass. The car breaks in two. They both cry.
+
+Mom comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken car and the sad kids. She is not happy. She tells Tom to say sorry to the girl. She tells the girl to say sorry to Tom. She says they can share the car if they fix it.
+
+Tom and the girl look at each other. They feel bad. They say sorry. They hug. They try to fix the car. They use tape and glue. They make it look new. They take turns to play with it. They have fun. They smile. They become friends.
+Tom and Anna liked to play with their toys upstairs. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red truck. They liked to drive it around the carpet and make loud noises.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna found something unusual in their toy box. It was a shiny blue car. It had four wheels, two doors and a horn. Tom and Anna wondered who put it there.
+
+"Maybe it is a gift from Mom and Dad," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe it is a new toy for us," Anna said.
+
+They took out the blue car and looked at it. It was very pretty, but it was not as big as their red truck.
+
+"Let's play with it," Tom said.
+
+"OK," Anna said.
+
+They drove the blue car around the carpet and made loud noises. They had fun, but they missed their red truck.
+
+"Where is our red truck?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," Anna said.
+
+They looked in their toy box, but they could not find it. They looked under the bed, but they could not find it. They looked in the closet, but they could not find it.
+
+"Someone took our red truck," Tom said.
+
+"Who?" Anna asked.
+
+They heard a noise downstairs. They ran to the door and looked. They saw their baby brother, Sam. He was holding their red truck. He was smiling and drooling.
+
+"Sam!" Tom and Anna shouted.
+
+They ran downstairs and tried to get their red truck back. But Sam did not want to give it. He hugged it and cried.
+
+"Sam, that is our toy," Tom said.
+
+"Please, give it back," Anna said.
+
+But Sam did not listen. He drove the red truck on the floor and made loud noises.
+
+Tom and Anna were sad and angry. They did not like that Sam took their toy. They did not like that he replaced it with the blue car.
+
+"Mom, Dad, help!" Tom and Anna called.
+
+Mom and Dad came and saw what happened. They understood why Tom and Anna were upset. They also saw that Sam liked the red truck.
+
+"Tom and Anna, we are sorry," Mom said.
+
+"We have a surprise for you," Dad said.
+
+They took Tom and Anna upstairs and showed them another toy box. Inside, there was another big red truck. It was exactly like the one Sam had.
+
+"We bought two red trucks for you and Sam," Mom said.
+
+"We wanted to give them to you as a gift, but Sam found one first," Dad said.
+
+"We hope you like it," Mom and Dad said.
+
+Tom and Anna were surprised and happy. They thanked Mom and Dad and hugged them. They took their new red truck and played with it. They did not mind that Sam had the other one.
+
+They also did not mind the blue car. They decided to share it with Sam. They drove the blue car and the red truck around the carpet and made loud noises. They had fun together. They were a happy family.
+Sara and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Sara was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran behind a big bush and waited for Sara to find him. He was very quiet and still.
+
+Sara looked around the garden and tried to find Ben. She saw a small bird on a branch. The bird was delicate and had bright feathers. Sara wanted to touch the bird, but she knew she had to be gentle. She walked slowly and softly towards the bird.
+
+"Found you!" Ben shouted, jumping out of the bush. He scared the bird and Sara. The bird flew away and Sara was sad. She liked the bird and wanted to see it more.
+
+"Why did you do that?" Sara asked Ben. She was angry and hurt.
+
+"I wanted to win the game. I had success in hiding from you. You did not see me at all." Ben said. He was proud and happy.
+
+"But you ruined my chance to see the bird. The bird was delicate and beautiful. You were loud and rude. You did not think about me or the bird. You only thought about yourself." Sara said. She was wise and kind.
+
+Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He apologized to Sara and the bird. He learned to be more respectful and caring. He and Sara hugged and became friends again. They decided to play another game that was fun for both of them.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the space rocket. The space rocket is big and red and makes loud noises. Sara and Ben pretend they are astronauts and fly to the moon and the stars.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben find a big box in the living room. It has a bow and a card on it. The card says: "To Sara and Ben, from Grandma and Grandpa. Happy birthday!" Sara and Ben are very happy. They think it is a new toy for them.
+
+They open the box and see a big blanket inside. The blanket is soft and warm and has many colors. Sara and Ben are confused. They do not want a blanket. They want a regular toy, like a car or a doll or a ball.
+
+They look at the card again and read: "We hope you like this blanket. It is a special blanket. It can wrap you and keep you cozy when you play with your space rocket. It can also be a cape or a tent or a magic carpet. Use your imagination and have fun!"
+
+Sara and Ben smile. They understand now. The blanket is not a regular blanket. It is a space blanket. They thank Grandma and Grandpa and hug the blanket. They wrap themselves with the blanket and go to play with their space rocket. They have a lot of fun. They fly to the moon and the stars and beyond. They are happy. They love their space blanket.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, Sara's mom says they can watch a movie. Sara is happy. She picks a movie with princesses and dragons. She tells Tom to come over.
+
+Tom comes over with his toy car. He likes cars. He does not like princesses and dragons. He is bored. He wants to play with his car. He says to Sara, "This movie is silly. Let's play with my car."
+
+Sara says, "No, I like this movie. It is fun. You can watch with me."
+
+Tom is envious. He thinks Sara has a better toy than him. He is angry. He throws his car at the TV. He breaks the TV. The movie stops.
+
+Sara is sad. She cries. She says, "Why did you do that? You are mean. You ruined my movie."
+
+Tom is sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was envious. I wanted your toy. I did not mean to break the TV."
+
+Sara's mom comes in. She sees the broken TV and the car. She is mad. She says, "Tom, what did you do? You have to go home. You have to pay for the TV. You have to say sorry to Sara."
+
+Tom goes home. He is sad. He says sorry to Sara. He says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Sara says, "I forgive you, Tom. You made a mistake. We can still be friends. But next time, don't throw your car at the TV. OK?"
+
+Tom says, "OK, Sara. Next time, I will watch the movie with you. Or we can play with your toy. Or we can play with my car. But not throw it."
+
+Sara says, "OK, Tom. That sounds good. I'm glad we are friends."
+
+They hug. They are happy. The end.
+Lily liked to play golf with her dad. She had a small golf stick and a pink ball. She liked to hit the ball and see how far it went. Sometimes, her dad helped her swing the stick, but Lily wanted to be independent. She wanted to do it by herself.
+
+One day, they went to the park to play golf. Lily brought her golf stick and ball, and her dad brought his. They found a nice spot with some grass and trees. Lily put her ball on the ground and got ready to hit it.
+
+"Can I help you, Lily?" her dad asked.
+
+"No, thank you, dad. I can do it by myself," Lily said.
+
+She swung her stick, but she missed the ball. She tried again, but she missed again. She felt frustrated and angry. She threw her stick on the ground and started to cry.
+
+"Lily, what's wrong?" her dad asked.
+
+"I can't do it! I can't play golf!" Lily sobbed.
+
+Her dad hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. Golf is hard. You need to practice and be patient. You can do it, but you don't have to do it alone. I'm here to help you and teach you. Do you want to try again with me?"
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She picked up her stick and ball, and her dad held her hand. They swung the stick together and hit the ball. The ball flew in the air and landed near a tree.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you did it! That was a great shot!" her dad praised.
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, dad. I did it with you. Can we do it again?"
+
+"Of course, Lily. Let's play golf together. I'm proud of you, my independent girl," her dad said.
+
+They played golf for a while, and had fun. Lily learned to hit the ball better, and her dad enjoyed spending time with her. They were happy.
+Lily wanted to make ice cream with Mom. She liked ice cream very much. It was sweet and cold and yummy. Mom said they needed milk, sugar, vanilla and a freezer. Lily knew what milk, sugar and vanilla were, but she did not know what a freezer was.
+
+"Mom, what is a freezer?" Lily asked.
+
+"A freezer is a big box that makes things very cold," Mom explained. "We put the ice cream mix in a bowl and then we put the bowl in the freezer. The freezer turns the mix into ice cream."
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted to see the freezer. She followed Mom to the kitchen. Mom opened a door and showed Lily the freezer. Lily saw many things in the freezer. She saw ice cubes, frozen peas, meat and bread.
+
+"Why do you put these things in the freezer, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because the freezer keeps them good for a long time," Mom explained. "If we leave them outside, they will go bad and we cannot eat them. The freezer is important for storing food."
+
+Lily understood. She was glad Mom had a freezer. She helped Mom make the ice cream mix and put it in a bowl. Then they put the bowl in the freezer.
+
+"How long do we have to wait, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"About four hours, Lily," Mom said. "Then we can enjoy our ice cream."
+
+Lily smiled. She was excited to try the ice cream. She gave Mom a hug and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best."
+Lily and Max were playing in the yard. They liked to roll a big tire around and pretend it was a car. They took turns sitting inside the tire and making vroom noises.
+
+"Can I have a turn now?" Lily asked Max.
+
+"OK, but only for a little bit," Max said. He helped Lily get inside the tire and gave it a push.
+
+Lily felt the tire spin and roll. She laughed and said, "This is fun!"
+
+But then the tire hit a rock and stopped. Lily bumped her head and started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she wailed.
+
+Max ran to the tire and tried to pull Lily out. But the tire was stuck and Lily was too big.
+
+"Shut up, Lily!" Max said. He was scared and angry. "You are making too much noise!"
+
+Lily cried louder. She was hurt and scared. She wanted to get out of the tire.
+
+A woman heard the noise and came to the yard. She was their neighbor, Mrs. Lee. She saw Lily and Max and the tire.
+
+"What's going on here?" she asked.
+
+Max told her what happened. He said he was sorry for being mean to Lily.
+
+Mrs. Lee smiled and said, "It's OK, Max. You were just worried about your sister. But you shouldn't tell her to shut up. That's not nice."
+
+She bent down and looked at Lily. She said, "Are you OK, Lily? You have a bump on your head. Does it hurt?"
+
+Lily nodded and sniffed. She said, "Yes, it hurts. And I'm stuck in the tire. I want to get out."
+
+Mrs. Lee said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'll help you. You are a brave girl. You can do this."
+
+She gently pushed the tire and told Lily to wiggle her body. Lily did as she said and slowly slid out of the tire.
+
+Mrs. Lee hugged Lily and said, "You did it, Lily! You are free!"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Lee. You are very nice."
+
+Mrs. Lee said, "You're welcome, Lily. And you know what? You are very different from Max. You have long hair and he has short hair. You have a pink shirt and he has a blue shirt. You like to sit in the tire and he likes to push the tire. But you are both very special and very loved. And you can always play together and have fun."
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other and nodded. They said, "Thank you, Mrs. Lee. We love you too."
+
+They hugged Mrs. Lee and then hugged each other. They decided to play something else with the tire. They were happy and they forgot about the bump and the rock.
+Sara and Tom are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. But today, Sara is feeling bossy. She wants to tell Tom what to do and how to play.
+
+"Tom, you have to be the doctor and I will be the patient. You have to give me a check-up and a band-aid," Sara says.
+
+"But I want to be the firefighter and you can be the cat. I have to save you from the tree," Tom says.
+
+"No, that's boring. We always play that. You have to do what I say, or I won't be your friend anymore," Sara says.
+
+Tom is sad. He doesn't like when Sara is bossy. He likes to play with her, but he also likes to choose his own games. He has a secret that he wants to tell her, but he is afraid she will laugh at him.
+
+"Sara, can I tell you something?" Tom asks.
+
+"What is it?" Sara asks.
+
+"It's a secret. You have to promise not to tell anyone," Tom says.
+
+"OK, I promise. What is it?" Sara asks.
+
+Tom looks around and whispers in Sara's ear. "I like you. You are my best friend. And I think you are pretty."
+
+Sara is surprised. She feels her face get hot. She doesn't know what to say. She looks at Tom and sees that he is nervous. She remembers that he is her best friend too. And she thinks he is nice.
+
+"Tom, I like you too. You are my best friend. And I think you are brave," Sara says.
+
+Tom smiles. He feels happy. He hugs Sara and says, "Thank you for being my friend. I'm sorry if I made you mad. Can we play whatever you want?"
+
+Sara smiles too. She feels sorry for being bossy. She hugs Tom back and says, "Thank you for telling me your secret. I'm sorry if I was mean. Can we discuss what we want to play?"
+
+They nod and hold hands. They decide to play doctor and firefighter together. They have fun and share their toys. They are best friends. And they have a secret.
+Mia and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. Mia liked the birds, but Ben liked the otters. He wanted to see them swim and play.
+
+They found the otter pool, where many otters were splashing and sliding. Ben pointed and said, "Look, Mom, otters! They are so cute and funny!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, they are. Do you know how much they weigh, Ben?"
+
+Ben shook his head. He did not know.
+
+Mom said, "They weigh about as much as a big bag of apples. Can you lift a big bag of apples, Ben?"
+
+Ben tried to lift a big bag of apples that was near a fruit stand. He could not. It was too heavy. He said, "No, Mom, I can't. The otters are strong!"
+
+Mom said, "They are. They need to be strong to swim and catch fish. Do you see that otter over there? The one with the white fur on its head?"
+
+Ben looked and saw the otter. It was smaller than the others. It was shy and stayed close to its mom.
+
+Mom said, "That is a new otter. It was born a few weeks ago. It is still learning how to swim and play. It is very cute, don't you think?"
+
+Ben nodded. He thought the new otter was very cute. He wanted to be its friend. He said, "Hi, new otter! I like you. You are cute and funny. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The new otter heard Ben and looked at him. It was curious and brave. It left its mom and swam to the edge of the pool. It peeked out and said, "Hi, Ben! I like you too. You are nice and friendly. I want to play with you!"
+
+Ben was happy. He clapped his hands and said, "Yay, the new otter wants to play with me! Can I feed it, Mom?"
+
+Mom said, "Sure, Ben. Here, take this fish and hold it out. The new otter will come and take it from you. Be gentle and careful, okay?"
+
+Ben said, "Okay, Mom." He took the fish and held it out. The new otter came and took it from him. It was gentle and careful too. It ate the fish and said, "Thank you, Ben. That was yummy. Do you have more?"
+
+Ben said, "You're welcome, new otter. I have more. Here, take another one."
+
+The new otter took another fish and ate it. It said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. Do you want to see me swim and slide?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, please, new otter. I want to see you swim and slide. You are very smart."
+
+The new otter said, "Okay, Ben. Watch me. I will show you how I swim and slide. You will like it. It is fun."
+
+The new otter swam and slid in the pool. It did tricks and flips. It made bubbles and splashes. It made Ben laugh and clap. It made Mia and Mom and Dad smile and cheer. It was happy and proud. It said, "Did you like that, Ben? Did you see how I swim and slide?"
+
+Ben said, "I liked that, new otter. I saw how you swim and slide. You are very good. You are the best otter ever. You are my friend."
+
+The new otter said, "I liked that too, Ben. You are my friend too. You are the best human ever. You make me happy. Can we play again?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, we can play again. Anytime you want. I will come back to the zoo and see you. I will bring you more fish. I will watch you swim and slide. I will make you happy too."
+
+The new otter said, "Thank you, Ben. I will wait for you. I will remember you. I will be happy to see you again. Goodbye, Ben. I love you."
+
+Ben said, "Goodbye, new otter. I love you too."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars and dolls. One day, they find a big box of socks. The socks are bright and have many colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, Mia, I have a sock with stars!" Tom says. He shows Mia his sock. It is blue and has yellow stars.
+
+"I have a sock with stripes!" Mia says. She shows Tom her sock. It is red and has white stripes.
+
+They put on the socks and laugh. They have fun with the bright socks.
+
+But then, Tom sees another sock with stars. He wants it. He takes it from the box.
+
+"Hey, that is my sock!" Mia says. She sees Tom with her sock. It is blue and has yellow stars, like Tom's.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Tom says. He does not want to give it back. He likes the sock with stars.
+
+They start to fight. They pull the sock. They yell. They are not happy.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to see what is wrong.
+
+"Why are you fighting?" Mom asks. She sees the sock. She sees the box.
+
+"We want the same sock!" Tom and Mia say. They point at the sock with stars.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She picks up the sock. She shows them something.
+
+"Look, this sock has a match!" Mom says. She finds another sock with stars in the box. It is blue and has yellow stars, like the first one.
+
+She gives one sock to Tom and one sock to Mia.
+
+"Now you both have a sock with stars!" Mom says. "And you both have a foot to wear it on!"
+
+Tom and Mia look at the socks. They look at their feet. They see that Mom is right.
+
+They feel silly. They say sorry to each other.
+
+They hug and smile. They are happy again.
+
+They learn to share and to match. They play with the bright socks and have fun.
+Tim and Tom were twins who lived in a small town. They liked to play with their toys, but they did not like to share. They always fought over who had the best toy and who could play with it longer.
+
+One day, their mom gave them a new toy car. It was shiny and red and had four wheels. Tim and Tom both wanted to play with it, but they could not agree on who would go first. They started to yell and pull the toy car.
+
+"Give it to me! It's mine!" Tim shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Tom shouted back.
+
+They did not listen to their mom, who told them to take turns and be nice. They did not notice that the toy car was breaking from their pulling. They only cared about having the toy car for themselves.
+
+Soon, the toy car snapped in half. Tim and Tom both cried and dropped the broken pieces. They looked at each other with angry and sad faces. They had ruined their new toy car because they were selfish and envious.
+
+Their mom came and picked up the broken pieces. She was not happy with them. She said, "Look what you have done. You have broken your new toy car because you could not share and be kind. Now you have no toy car to play with. How do you feel?"
+
+Tim and Tom felt ashamed and sorry. They realized that they had been foolish and mean. They said, "We feel bad, mom. We are sorry. We should have shared and been kind. We should have listened to you."
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "I forgive you, but you have to learn from your mistake. Sharing and being kind are more important than having the best toy. If you share and be kind, you will have more fun and more friends. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim and Tom nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We will try to share and be kind from now on. We love you, mom."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Tim and Tom. Now, let's go and see if we can fix your toy car together."
+
+The end.
+Lily loved to play the violin. She learned from her mom, who was a violin teacher. Lily liked to make music with the strings and the bow. She practiced every day in her room.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to show her violin to her friend, Ben. Ben was her neighbor and they often played together in the park. Lily asked her mom if she could take her violin to the park. Her mom said yes, but she told Lily to be careful and not to leave her violin alone.
+
+Lily and Ben met at the park. They played on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Lily had her violin in a case next to her. She was happy and forgot about her violin for a while.
+
+Then, a big dog came to the park. The dog was curious and sniffed around. He saw the violin case and thought it was a toy. He grabbed the case with his teeth and ran away.
+
+Lily and Ben saw the dog and shouted. "Hey, stop! That's my violin!" Lily cried. She ran after the dog, but he was too fast. He disappeared behind some trees.
+
+Lily was very sad and ashamed. She lost her violin. She didn't know what to tell her mom. She felt like crying.
+
+Ben tried to comfort her. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. Maybe we can find the dog and get your violin back. Or maybe someone will see the dog and call your mom. It's not your fault. The dog was naughty."
+
+Lily nodded. She hoped Ben was right. She hoped her violin was not broken. She hoped her mom would not be angry. She hugged Ben and thanked him for being her friend.
+Lily was a big girl. She liked to play with her toys and books. But she did not like to go to school. School was hard. She had to learn new things and do what the teacher said. She did not know the other kids. They were a group. They played together and talked together. Lily felt alone.
+
+One day, Lily's mom took her to school. She said, "Lily, you have to enter the classroom and say hello to the teacher and the kids. They are nice. They want to be your friends. You can have fun with them. Don't be scared."
+
+Lily did not want to enter the classroom. She held her mom's hand and said, "No, mom. I don't want to go. I want to stay with you. School is hard. I don't like it."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, I know school is hard. But you can do it. You are a smart and brave girl. You can learn new things and make new friends. I will be back soon to pick you up. I love you."
+
+Mom gave Lily a hug and a kiss. She pushed her gently to enter the classroom. Lily walked slowly to the door. She saw the teacher and the kids. They smiled at her and said, "Hi, Lily. Welcome to our group. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Lily felt shy. She did not know what to say. She nodded her head and said, "Hi. I'm Lily. I like to play."
+
+The teacher and the kids were happy. They invited Lily to join their group. They showed her their toys and books. They asked her questions and listened to her answers. They played games and sang songs. They helped her and praised her. They made her laugh and feel good.
+

+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pot on a bench. The pot is shiny and has flowers on it.
+
+"Look, a pot!" Tom says. "Let's play with it."
+
+"OK," Lily says. "But be careful. It is not ours."
+
+They run to the pot and lift it up. They pretend it is a hat, a drum, and a boat. They have fun with the pot.
+
+But then, a lady comes to the bench. She is upset. She sees Tom and Lily with her pot.
+
+"Hey, that is my pot!" she says. "Give it back to me. You are naughty children."
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They drop the pot on the ground. The pot breaks into pieces. The lady is very upset. She cries and shouts.
+
+Tom and Lily are sorry. They did not mean to break the pot. They say sorry to the lady.
+
+"We are sorry, lady," Tom says. "We just wanted to play with the pot. We did not know it was yours."
+
+"We are sorry, lady," Lily says. "We will help you fix the pot. Please do not be upset."
+
+The lady is still upset, but she sees that Tom and Lily are sorry. She calms down a little. She tells them to be more careful next time.
+
+"Thank you for saying sorry," she says. "But you should not touch things that are not yours. The pot was a gift from my friend. It was very special to me."
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They understand. They help the lady pick up the pieces of the pot. They hope they can meet her again and make her happy.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build houses, cars, and towers. They pretend to be firemen and save people from fires.
+
+One day, they see an old man walking by. He has a big bag of cans. He looks tired and sad. Tom and Sam want to help him.
+
+"Hello, sir. Do you need help?" Tom asks.
+
+"Thank you, young man. I collect cans to sell. But it is hard to carry them all," the old man says.
+
+"We can help you. We are firemen. We are strong and brave," Sam says.
+
+Tom and Sam take some cans from the old man's bag. They put them in their toy fire truck. They follow the old man to the recycling center. They help him unload the cans and get some money.
+
+The old man smiles and thanks them. He gives them each a candy. He says they are good firemen and good boys.
+
+Tom and Sam are happy. They learned that helping others is fun and kind. They share their candy with the old man. They say goodbye and go back to play with their blocks. They build a big fire station for their fire truck. They are proud of themselves.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a big lawn with many flowers and toys. They run and laugh and have fun.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia want to play outside after dinner. But it is dark outside. They cannot see the lawn or the flowers or the toys. They are sad. They want to play.
+
+Tom has an idea. He says to Mia, "Let's get a flashlight. We can see with a flashlight." Mia likes the idea. They go to Tom's house and ask his mom for a flashlight. His mom says yes and gives them a flashlight.
+
+Tom and Mia go back to the lawn. They turn on the flashlight. They see the lawn and the flowers and the toys. They are happy. They play with the flashlight. They make shadows and shapes and stories. They have fun in the dark.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the pool. They had a game where they would dive under the water and search for toys that their mom threw in. They had fun finding the toys and showing them to each other.
+
+One day, Lily found a shiny ring that looked like a treasure. She was very happy and wanted to keep it for herself. She did not show it to Ben and hid it in her pocket. Ben noticed that Lily was acting strange and asked her what she found.
+
+"Nothing, nothing," Lily said in a loud voice. She did not want to share the ring with Ben. She thought it was too pretty and special.
+
+Ben felt sad and hurt. He thought Lily was his friend and they always shared everything. He did not want to play with her anymore. He swam away and played with another kid.
+
+Lily saw that Ben was gone and felt lonely. She looked at the ring and realized that it was not worth losing her friend. She felt sorry and wanted to say sorry to Ben. She swam after him and found him.
+
+"Ben, Ben, I'm sorry," Lily said in a soft voice. She showed him the ring and said, "I found this ring and I was selfish. I did not want to share it with you. But it was wrong and mean. You are my friend and I love you. Can you forgive me and share the ring with me?"
+
+Ben looked at Lily and saw that she was sincere. He smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. I forgive you and I love you too. You are my friend and we can share everything. The ring is very pretty, but our friendship is more precious."
+
+They hugged and played with the ring together. They learned that sharing is caring and that friendship is more important than things.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with paint. They have many colors of paint. They have red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They have paper and brushes too.

I need my coat." Anna says, "I have an idea. We can paint your coat. We can make it colorful and pretty."
+
+Ben likes Anna's idea. He says, "Okay, let's paint my coat." Anna and Ben paint Ben's coat with many colors. They paint stripes, dots, stars, and hearts. They make Ben's coat look like a rainbow. Ben says, "Wow, Anna. You are a good painter. My coat is beautiful." Anna says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good painter too. Your coat is fun."
+
+Their mom sees their painting. She says, "Wow, Anna and Ben. You are very creative. You made a nice picture on the wall. And you made a nice coat for Ben. But you are also very messy.

+
+Sara's mom comes home from work. She sees the bed. She sees Sara and Tom. She sees the tuna cans on the floor. She is very angry.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing in my bed? And why is there tuna everywhere?" she yells.
+
+Sara and Tom wake up. They are scared. They see Sara's mom. She is not pretty. She is mean.
+
+"Mom, this is Tom. He is my friend. We were napping. We were hungry. We ate tuna," Sara says.
+
+"I don't care. Get out of my bed. Get out of my house. And take your tuna with you. I never want to see you or your friend again," Sara's mom says.
+
+She grabs Sara and Tom by the arms. She throws them out of the door. She slams the door behind them.
+
+Sara and Tom are sad. They cry. They hug each other. They have no bed. They have no tuna. They have no friend. They have a bad day.
+Lily was excited. She was going to set the table for dinner. She liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She took the plates and cups from the cupboard and put them on the table. She also took the forks and spoons from the drawer and placed them next to the plates.
+
+"Good job, Lily!" her mom said. "You are such a big helper. Do you want to put the napkins on the table too?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily said. She ran to the closet and got the napkins. She folded them into squares and put them on the table. She felt proud of her work.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you are amazing!" her dad said, as he came home from work. He hugged Lily and kissed her mom. "The table looks beautiful. You are a very good woman, just like your mom."

+
+"Let me try," Tom says. He pulls hard on the cap, but it does not move. He gets angry and throws the bottle on the floor. The bottle breaks and juice pours everywhere.
+
+"Uh-oh," Sam says. He sees the juice on the floor, on the walls, on the table. He also sees their dad coming. Their dad is bald and big and scary. He does not like messes.
+
+"What have you done?" their dad yells. He sees the broken bottle and the juice. He is very mad. He grabs Tom and Sam by the arms and drags them to their room. He locks the door and says, "You are in big trouble. You will stay here until you clean up your mess. And no toys for you!"
+
+Tom and Sam cry. They are sorry and scared. They have no toys and no juice. They are thirsty and bored. They wish they had not touched the bottle. They wish they had listened to their dad.

+Tom and Mia are friends. They live in a big city with many cars and people. They like to play in the park and look at the birds and flowers.
+
+One day, they see a big truck with a cage on it. Inside the cage, there is a monkey. The monkey looks sad and scared. Tom and Mia feel sorry for the monkey.
+
+"Where are they taking the monkey?" Mia asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe to a zoo or a circus," Tom says.
+
+"That is not fair. The monkey should be free in the forest, not in a cage," Mia says.
+
+Tom nods. He has an idea. He whispers to Mia. "Let's help the monkey. We can open the cage when the truck stops at the red light."
+
+Mia agrees. They run after the truck and wait for the right moment. When the truck stops, they sneak behind it and try to open the cage. The monkey sees them and makes a happy noise.
+
+But the truck driver sees them too. He gets out of the truck and yells at them. "Hey, you kids! Stop that! Leave the monkey alone!"
+
+Tom and Mia resist. They do not want to let go of the cage. They are brave and intelligent. They want to save the monkey.
+
+"Please, mister, let the monkey go. He does not belong here. He belongs in the forest," Tom says.
+
+"Yeah, he is not a toy. He is a living being. He has feelings and needs," Mia says.
+
+The truck driver is angry. He tries to pull them away from the cage. But the monkey helps them. He grabs the driver's hat and throws it away. He also bites his hand and makes him scream.
+
+Tom and Mia use the chance to open the cage. The monkey jumps out and hugs them. He is grateful and happy. He runs away with them to the park. There, he climbs a tree and waves at them.
+
+Tom and Mia wave back. They smile and feel proud. They have done a good thing. They have helped a friend. They have resisted the bad man. They have shown that they care.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they want to prepare a picnic. They bring bread, cheese, apples and juice. They put everything in a big basket.
+
+They walk to the park. They see a big tree. They put the basket under the tree. They spread a blanket on the grass. They are ready to eat.

+
+They go back to the tree. But they see a big dog. The dog is smelly. The dog is hungry. The dog has eaten their bread, cheese, apples and juice. The dog has made a mess. The basket is empty.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They look at their ice cream. They look at each other. They have an idea. They smile. They share their ice cream. They say, "Ice cream is better than bread and cheese. We still have a picnic. We are still friends." They lick their cones. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to decorate their room. They had many toys and stickers and drawings that they put on the walls and shelves. They also had a big gold star that their mom gave them for being good. They wanted to hang the star on the ceiling, but it was too high.
+
+"Let's ask dad to help us," Sara said.
+
+"No, dad is busy working. We can do it ourselves," Ben said.
+
+He took a chair and climbed on it. He reached for the ceiling with the star, but he slipped and fell. The chair broke and the star flew out of the window.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. He hurt his arm and his head.
+
+Sara ran to him and hugged him. She was scared and sorry.
+
+"Ben, are you okay? I'm sorry, I should have listened to you. We should have asked dad," she said.
+
+"It's okay, Sara. I'm sorry, too. I was too proud and stubborn. We should have been careful," he said.
+
+They heard their mom coming. She saw the mess and the star outside. She was angry and worried.
+
+"What happened here? Are you hurt? Why did you do this?" she asked.
+
+Sara and Ben told her the truth. They said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They asked for a hug and a kiss.
+
+Mom hugged and kissed them. She was glad they were not badly hurt. She said she loved them and she forgave them. She said they should always ask for help when they need it, and they should not be greedy or reckless.
+
+She took them to the kitchen and gave them some cookies and milk. They were hungry and happy. They thanked mom and said they loved her.
+
+They looked at the star outside. It was shining in the sun. They decided to leave it there, as a reminder of their mistake and their love.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the attic. They found a big chest full of old things. They wanted to sort the things into piles.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a beautiful dress!" Sara said. She held up a pink dress with lace and pearls. "It is so pretty and shiny!"
+
+"Wow, Sara, you look like a princess!" Ben said. He found a hat with a feather and put it on his head. "And I look like a king!"
+
+They laughed and tried on more clothes. They found coats, shoes, scarves, and gloves. They made a pile of clothes they liked and a pile of clothes they did not like.
+
+Then they heard a voice from downstairs. It was their mom.
+
+"Kids, time for lunch!" she called.
+
+"Okay, mom, we are coming!" Sara and Ben said. They took off the clothes and put them back in the chest. They closed the lid and ran downstairs.
+
+They had a lot of fun sorting the things in the chest. They decided to play there again tomorrow.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys in their room. But they did not like to clean up their mess. They always left their toys on the floor, on the bed, and in the closet.
+
+One day, their mom told them to work and put their toys away. She said she would come back in one hour and check. Tom and Sam said yes, but they did not listen. They kept playing and making more mess.
+
+Mom came back in one hour and saw the room. She was very angry. She said Tom and Sam were naughty and lazy. She said they had to go to bed early and no more toys for a week. Tom and Sam cried and said they were sorry. But it was too late.
+
+Mom took away their toys and put them in a big box. She said she would give them back when they learned to work and clean up. She put the box in the closet and locked it. She said the closet was wide and had a lot of space for their toys.
+
+Tom and Sam went to bed early and felt sad. They missed their toys. They wished they had worked and cleaned up. They learned their lesson. But they did not know that the closet had a hole in the back. And that a mouse lived in the hole. And that the mouse liked to chew on toys. And that the mouse was very hungry.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the castle. The castle is big and has many rooms and doors and windows. Sara and Ben pretend that they are the king and the queen of the castle.
+
+One day, they find a new toy in the castle. It is a dragon. The dragon is green and has wings and teeth and a long tail. Sara and Ben are scared of the dragon. They think it will hurt them or break their castle.
+
+"Who put this dragon here?" Sara asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a bad dragon. We should hide," Ben says.
+
+They run to the other side of the castle and hide behind a wall. They peek at the dragon. The dragon looks around the castle. It does not seem angry or mean. It seems curious and happy. It examines the castle with its eyes and nose and mouth. It touches the doors and windows and walls with its paws. It makes soft noises like "hmm" and "ooh" and "ahh".
+
+"Maybe it is not a bad dragon. Maybe it is a friendly dragon. It likes our castle," Sara says.
+
+"Maybe you are right. Maybe we can play with it. It looks fun," Ben says.
+
+They come out of their hiding place and walk slowly to the dragon. The dragon sees them and smiles. It does not roar or bite or scratch. It wags its tail and nods its head.
+
+"Hello, dragon. We are Sara and Ben. This is our castle. Do you want to play with us?" Sara says.
+
+"Yes, please. I am Dora. I am a friendly dragon. I love your castle. It is very nice. Can I be your friend?" the dragon says.
+
+Sara and Ben are surprised and happy. They did not know that the dragon can talk. They nod and smile and hug the dragon.
+
+"Of course you can be our friend. You are very nice. We can share our castle with you. We can have fun together," Ben says.
+
+They play with the dragon and the castle. They pretend that they are the king, the queen and the guard of the castle. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They are friends.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their books. They liked to look at the pictures and say the words. Ben had a book about cars and Lily had a book about animals. They were happy and quiet.
+
+But then Ben saw Lily's book and wanted it. He said, "Give me your book. I like animals more than cars." Lily said, "No, this is my book. You have your own book." Ben got angry and tried to grab Lily's book. Lily held on tight and said, "Stop it, Ben. You are being mean."
+
+They pulled and pulled until the book ripped. The pages flew everywhere. Ben and Lily both cried. They had destroyed the book. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the torn book and the scattered pages. She said, "Oh no, what did you do? This was a rich book. It had many stories and pictures. It was a gift from Grandma. How could you destroy it?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at Mom and said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were fighting over the book. We didn't mean to destroy it. Can you fix it?" Mom said, "I don't know if I can fix it. It is very damaged. You need to learn to share and be gentle with your books. Books are precious and fun. They are not toys to destroy." She hugged Ben and Lily and said, "I love you, but I am disappointed. You need to say sorry to each other and to Grandma. And you need to help me clean up this mess." Ben and Lily said, "We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, Grandma. We will help you." They hugged each other and picked up the pages. They hoped they could make the book whole again.

+
+When she reached the top, she saw a nest with three baby birds. They were very cute and fluffy. Lily smiled and said hello to them. She sat on a branch and watched them.
+
+But then, she heard a loud noise. It was the mother bird, and she was angry. She saw Lily with her crown and thought it was a shiny egg. She wanted to take it back to her nest. She flew at Lily and tried to grab her crown.
+

+
+"Wow, Ben, your lion is impressive!" Lily says. "But look at my giraffe. She has a long neck and spots. She can reach the highest leaves."
+
+"Your giraffe is impressive, too, Lily!" Ben says. "But what is that?" He points to a paper shape that Lily has not shown him yet.
+

+
+One night, Ben says, "Look, Mia, that star is very thin. It looks like it will break."
+
+Mia says, "No, Ben, it will not break. It is just far away. It is still strong and bright."
+
+Ben says, "But it is so thin. Maybe it is sad. Maybe it wants to come closer to us."
+
+Mia says, "Don't be silly, Ben. Stars are happy in the sky. They have many friends. They don't want to come to us. We are too small and boring."
+
+Ben says, "I don't think so, Mia. I think that star is lonely. I wish I could hug it and make it happy."
+
+Mia says, "You can't hug a star, Ben. It is too hot and big. You will get hurt. You have to stay in bed and watch it from here."
+
+Ben says, "Okay, Mia. But I still feel sorry for that star. I hope it will be okay."

+They close their eyes and fall asleep.
+

+
+One day, they saw a big bird flying over the water. It had a long neck and a funny beak. They wanted to see it closer, so they lifted the anchor and rowed the boat towards the bird.
+
+"Look, Lily, it's a pelican!" Ben said. "Maybe it has a fish in its mouth."
+
+"Let's call it and see if it comes to us," Lily said. She made a loud noise with her mouth, like a horn. "Beep beep! Hello, pelican!"
+
+The pelican heard the noise and looked at the boat. It was curious and flew closer to the twins. It opened its beak and showed them a big fish. It was a gift for the friendly children.
+
+"Wow, thank you, pelican!" Lily and Ben said. They took the fish and put it in a bucket. They gave the pelican some bread crumbs that they had in their bag. They made friends with the bird and played with it for a while.
+
+Then they saw that the sun was going down and it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the pelican and rowed the boat back to the shore. They put the anchor back and dragged the boat to the sand. They ran to their mom and dad and told them about their adventure.

+
+One day, Tim and Lily sneak into the lab when their dad is busy on the phone. They see a big button that says "disappear". They wonder what it does. Tim says, "Let's press it and see what happens." Lily says, "No, dad said not to touch anything. It might be dangerous." Tim says, "Don't be scared. It will be fun." He presses the button.
+
+Suddenly, Tim and Lily feel a tickle all over their bodies. They look at each other and see that they are fading away. They can't see their hands or feet anymore. They are disappearing! They scream, "Help! Help!"
+
+Their dad hears them and runs into the lab. He sees the button and realizes what they did. He quickly presses another button that says "appear". He sees Tim and Lily come back to normal. They are still scared and crying. He hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You're okay. You're okay. Don't ever do that again. That button is for experiments, not for playing. It can make things disappear and reappear, but it can also be very dangerous. You could have been hurt or lost forever."
+
+Tim and Lily say, "We're sorry, dad. We won't touch anything again. We love you." Their dad says, "I love you too. Now let's go and have some cookies and milk. And maybe we can read a book about how things disappear and reappear in nature, like the sun and the moon and the stars." Tim and Lily nod and smile. They are happy to be with their dad and to learn new things. They are not curious about the button anymore.

+
+Anna felt very bad. She did not mean to make her mom angry and sad. She did not know the blouse was a gift. She just wanted to look pretty. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not know. I just liked the blouse. I wanted to help you with the laundry. I can fold the blouse and put it back in the basket."
+
+Her mom said, "No, Anna, you can't. The blouse is dirty and wrinkled. You can't give it to your aunt like this. You have to learn to respect other people's things. You have to ask before you take something that is not yours. You have to be careful with your clothes and your toys. You have to be responsible and honest."
+
+Anna nodded. She understood. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I will be more careful. I will ask before I take something. I will be responsible and honest. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "I love you, too, Anna. I forgive you. But you have to help me fix the blouse. We have to wash it and iron it and wrap it. We have to make it look nice for your aunt. Will you help me?"

+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play at the zoo. They see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But their favorite animal is the hippo.
+
+The hippo is big and gray. He has a big mouth and small ears. He likes to swim in the water. Sometimes he comes out and rolls on the grass. He makes a loud noise. Lila and Tom think he is funny.
+
+One day, Lila and Tom see something new. Next to the hippo, there is a baby hippo. The baby hippo is smaller and has hair. He is hairy. He follows his mom everywhere. He tries to roll like her, but he falls. He gets up and tries again.
+
+Lila and Tom laugh. They want to talk to the baby hippo. They go closer to the fence. They say hello.
+
+"Hello, baby hippo. You are cute. You are hairy. What is your name?" Lila asks.

+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explorers. Lily had a wooden sword and Tom had a map. They had a big box that they used as a ship.
+
+"Let's go find the treasure, Tom!" Lily said. "I have the map and you have the sword. We can fight the bad guys and get the gold."
+
+"OK, Lily, but we need a light. It's dark in the cave where the treasure is." Tom said. He looked around and saw a box of matches on the table. He had an idea. "I know, we can use these matches. They make fire and fire makes light."
+
+Lily was nervous. She knew matches were not for playing. They were for grown-ups. They could hurt you or make things burn. She did not want to use the matches. She wanted to tell Tom to stop, but he was already opening the box.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a match. Watch me make fire." Tom said. He took a match and rubbed it on the side of the box. The match made a spark and then a flame. Tom was happy. He held the match in his hand and stared at the fire. He did not see the curtain behind him.
+
+Lily saw the curtain. She saw the fire getting closer to the curtain. She was scared. She screamed, "Tom, Tom, the curtain! The curtain is on fire!"
+
+Tom turned around and saw the curtain. He saw the fire spreading. He dropped the match and ran to Lily. They both ran out of the living room and called for their mom.
+
+Mom came and saw the fire. She grabbed a bucket of water and threw it on the curtain. She put out the fire. She was angry and sad. She looked at Lily and Tom. They were crying and sorry.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Lily, Tom, are you OK? What were you doing with the matches? You know matches are dangerous. You could have burned the house or hurt yourselves. You should never play with matches. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We were playing pirates and we wanted a light. We didn't mean to make a fire. We won't play with matches again. We love you, Mom."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily and Tom. But you have to be careful and listen to me. Matches are not toys. They are for grown-ups only. Next time, use a flashlight or a lantern. OK?"
+
+Lily and Tom said, "OK, Mom. We're sorry. Can we still play pirates?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can still play pirates. But no more matches. And no more fire. Deal?"
+
+Lily and Tom said, "Deal, Mom. Thank you, Mom."
+
+They hugged Mom and went back to their toys. They played pirates and explorers. They used a flashlight and a lantern. They found the treasure and had fun. They did not use matches again.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big truck in the park. It is red and shiny. They want to play with it.
+
+"Can we play with the truck?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it belongs to someone," Sam says.
+
+"Let's try it. It looks fun," Tom says.
+
+They climb on the truck and push the buttons. The truck makes loud noises and moves. They laugh and cheer. But then, the truck stops. It makes a bad sound and smoke comes out.
+
+"Oh no! The truck is broken!" Sam says.
+
+"What do we do?" Tom says.
+
+They look around and see a man running towards them. He is angry and scared.
+
+"Hey! What are you doing with my truck? You broke it!" he shouts.
+
+"We are sorry, mister. We just wanted to play," Tom says.
+
+"You can't play with things that are not yours. This truck is very important and expensive. It is not easy to fix. You have to be careful and respectful," the man says.
+
+He calls a mechanic to fix the truck. He makes Tom and Sam help him. They learn how the truck works and how to fix it. They feel sorry and ashamed.
+
+"We are very sorry, mister. We won't do it again," Sam says.
+
+"We learned our lesson. We will ask before we play with things that are not ours," Tom says.
+
+The man forgives them and lets them play with the truck when it is fixed. He teaches them how to drive it safely and have fun. They thank him and become friends.
+
+The moral of the story is: You should not play with things that are not yours without permission. You should be careful and respectful of other people's belongings. You should learn from your mistakes and apologize when you do something wrong.

+
+But the toy did not like Lily. It did not like being stolen. It did not like being hugged, kissed and talked to. It was a mean toy. It had a plan.
+
+The toy waited until Lily was not paying attention. It opened its mouth and bit Lily's arm. Lily screamed. She dropped the toy. She saw blood on her arm. She saw teeth on the toy. She was scared and hurt.
+
+Lily cried for her mom. She cried for Anna. She looked for her doll. But she could not find her. The toy had torn Anna apart. It had ripped her dress, her hair and her smile. It had thrown her pieces in the trash. Lily was sad and sorry.

+
+"Look at our snowman!" Sara said. "He is so big and nice!"
+

+
+Sara and her mom try not to laugh. They help the heavy man get up. They say, "You did well. Yoga is hard at first. But if you do it more, you will get better and feel good."
+

+
+But Ben did not listen. He took more blocks. He made the temple fall down. The toy king and queen fell out. Lily and Sam were sad.
+
+They started to cry. They said, "Ben, you are mean. You broke our temple. You made us cry. We do not want to play with you."
+
+Ben felt sorry. He saw that he was wrong. He said, "I am sorry, Lily and Sam. I was bossy. I should have asked you. Can I help you fix the temple?"
+
+Lily and Sam stopped crying. They looked at Ben. They said, "Yes, Ben. You can help us. But you have to be nice. And you have to share the blocks."
