+Sara was ready to go to bed. She brushed her teeth, put on her pajamas, and hugged her teddy bear. She lay down on her bed and pulled the blanket over her. She looked around her room and saw her toys, her books, and her pictures. She felt happy and cozy.
+
+"Good night, Sara," her mom said, as she came into the room. She kissed Sara on the forehead and turned off the light. "I love you, sweetie."
+
+"I love you too, mom," Sara said. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. But she heard a noise outside her window. It sounded like a big truck. It was loud and scary.
+
+"Mom, mom, what is that?" Sara cried. She sat up and turned on the lamp. She was afraid of the dark and the noise.
+
+Her mom came back into the room and hugged her. "It's okay, Sara, it's just a garbage truck. It's taking away the trash. It will be gone soon. Don't be scared, it can't hurt you."
+
+"Are you sure, mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Yes, I'm sure. Look, it's already leaving. See, the noise is getting softer. It's almost gone. Now it's quiet again. You can go back to sleep, Sara. It's all right."
+
+Sara nodded and lay down again. Her mom tucked her in and stroked her hair. She sang a lullaby to her and kissed her again.
+
+"Good night, Sara. Sleep tight. Don't let the bedbugs bite."
+
+Sara smiled and snuggled with her teddy bear. She felt safe and calm. She drifted off to sleep and dreamed of happy things.

+"Let's go on the slide, Mia!" Tom says.

+Ben liked to go to the zoo with his mom and dad. He liked to see the big animals and the small animals. He liked to hear the noises they made and watch them play. But there was one animal he did not like. It was the ostrich.
+
+The ostrich was a very big bird with long legs and a long neck. It had black and white feathers and a small head. Ben thought the ostrich was very lazy. It did not fly or run or do anything fun. It just stood there and looked at Ben with its big eyes.
+
+One day, Ben decided to make the ostrich do something. He ran up to the fence and shouted at the ostrich. "Hey, you lazy bird! Why don't you fly or run or do something? You are so boring!" He waved his arms and made funny faces. He hoped the ostrich would get scared or angry or curious.
+
+But the ostrich did not do anything. It just looked at Ben with its big eyes. Then it did something that made Ben very embarrassed. It opened its mouth and spit at Ben. The spit was wet and sticky and smelly. It landed on Ben's face and shirt and hair.
+
+Ben screamed and ran away. He felt the spit on his skin and clothes. He felt the eyes of the other people at the zoo. They were laughing and pointing at him. He felt very silly and ashamed. He wished he had not been mean to the ostrich.
+
+He ran to his mom and dad and cried. They hugged him and wiped his face and shirt and hair. They told him it was okay and that he should not tease the animals. They told him the ostrich was not lazy, but just different. They told him he should be kind and respectful to all living things.
+
+Ben learned his lesson. He said he was sorry to the ostrich and to his mom and dad. He said he would not do it again. He said he wanted to see the other animals and have fun. He said he liked the zoo, but not the ostrich. He said he hoped the ostrich would not spit at him again.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a picture of a scale on it. Tom and Lily are curious. They want to see what is inside the box.
+
+They open the box and take out the scale. It is shiny and has numbers on it. Tom and Lily do not know what the numbers mean. They put the scale on the floor and step on it. The scale makes a beep sound and shows a number. Tom and Lily laugh.
+
+"Look, Lily, I am six!" Tom says, pointing at the number.
+
+"Wow, Tom, you are big!" Lily says. She steps on the scale too. The scale beeps and shows another number. "I am five!" Lily says.
+
+"Ha, ha, Lily, I am bigger than you!" Tom says.
+
+"No, Tom, you are not!" Lily says. She is angry. She pushes Tom off the scale and steps on it again. The scale beeps and shows the same number. "See, I am still five!" Lily says.
+
+Tom is angry too. He pushes Lily off the scale and steps on it again. The scale beeps and shows the same number. "See, I am still six!" Tom says.
+
+They keep pushing each other and stepping on the scale. The scale beeps and shows different numbers. Tom and Lily do not understand. They are confused and frustrated.
+
+"Stop, Tom, stop, Lily!" their mom says. She comes into the living room and sees the mess. She is not happy. She picks up the scale and puts it back in the box. "This is not a toy. This is a scale. It tells you how heavy you are. You are both healthy and strong. You do not need to fight over the numbers."
+
+Tom and Lily look at their mom. They feel sorry. They hug their mom and say sorry. Their mom smiles and hugs them back. She says, "It is okay. I know you are curious. But you have to be careful and respectful. You can ask me if you want to know something. I will explain it to you."
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They say, "Okay, mom. We will ask you. We love you."
+
+They put the box away and play with their toys and books. They are happy and calm. They do not fight over the scale anymore. They are good twins.
+Lila and Ben liked to play knights and dragons in the park. Lila had a big shield made of cardboard and Ben had a stick for a sword. They ran around the trees and pretended to fight the bad dragons. Sometimes they met other kids who wanted to play with them, but sometimes they were alone.
+
+One day, they saw a new kid in the park. He had a blue coat and a red hat. He looked at Lila and Ben and said, "Can I play with you?" Lila and Ben nodded and said, "Sure, what's your name?" The new kid said, "I'm Max, and I have a special power. I can freeze things with my breath." Lila and Ben were curious and asked, "How do you do that?" Max said, "Watch this." He blew on a flower and it turned white and stiff. Lila and Ben gasped and said, "Wow, that's cool!"
+
+They played with Max for a while, and he showed them how he could freeze other things, like rocks, leaves, and bugs. Lila and Ben thought he was fun and friendly, but they also felt a little scared of his power. They wondered what would happen if he froze them. They hoped he would not do that.
+
+But Max had a secret. He was not a nice kid. He was a mean kid who liked to hurt others. He only pretended to be nice to trick Lila and Ben. He wanted to freeze them and take their shield and sword. He waited for the right moment, when they were not looking. He sneaked behind them and said, "Hey, look at this!" He blew on them with his harsh breath and they felt a cold wind on their backs. They turned around and saw Max smiling wickedly. They tried to move, but they could not. They were frozen!
+
+Max laughed and said, "Ha ha, I got you! Now I have your shield and sword, and you can't do anything!" He grabbed their shield and sword and ran away. Lila and Ben felt sad and angry. They wished they had not trusted Max. They wished they could break free. They wished someone would help them. They wondered how long they would stay frozen. They hoped not for long.
+Lily was a fair girl with long hair and blue eyes. She liked to wear skirts and play with dolls. One day, she went to a new school with her mom. She was a little scared, but mom said it would be fun.
+
+At the school, Lily saw many children. Some were big, some were small, some had dark skin, some had light skin. They all wore different clothes and spoke different words. Lily felt shy and held mom's hand.
+
+Then, a teacher came to greet them. She had a big smile and a red skirt. She said, "Hello, I'm Miss Lee. Welcome to our school, Lily. We are happy to have you here. Do you want to meet your new friends?"
+
+Lily nodded and let go of mom's hand. Miss Lee took her to a group of children who were playing with blocks. She introduced Lily to them and gave her some blocks too. The children smiled and said hello. They asked Lily about her skirt, her hair, and her dolls. Lily answered and asked them about their clothes, their toys, and their names. They shared and helped each other. Lily felt happy and made new friends.
+
+Mom watched Lily play and felt proud. She gave her a hug and a kiss and said, "I'll be back soon, Lily. Have fun at school. I love you." Lily said, "I love you too, mom. Bye bye." She waved and went back to play. She liked her new school and her new friends. She was not scared anymore. She was brave and fair.
+Tom and Anna like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys in their room. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a small machine with a red button and a black cord. The machine can record sounds.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's try it," Anna says.
+
+They press the red button and say hello to the machine. Then they press the button again and listen. The machine says hello back to them in their voices.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Tom says.
+
+"Let's record more things," Anna says.
+
+They take the machine around the house and record different sounds. They record the dog barking, the clock ticking, the water running, and the door slamming. They laugh when they hear the sounds again.
+
+They go back to their room and see a penny on the floor. It is shiny and round.
+
+"Look, a penny!" Tom says.
+
+"Let's record it," Anna says.
+
+They put the penny on the machine and press the button. They wait for the sound, but nothing happens.
+
+"Why is it not working?" Tom asks.
+
+"Maybe the penny is too quiet," Anna says.
+
+"Or maybe the machine is broken," Tom says.
+
+They try to press the button again, but it does not move. They pull the cord, but it does not come out. They shake the machine, but it does not make any noise.
+
+"Oh no, the machine is stuck!" Tom says.
+
+"What can we do?" Anna asks.
+
+They look around for something to help them. They see a rubber band on the desk. It is flexible and stretchy.
+
+"Maybe this can help," Tom says.
+
+He takes the rubber band and wraps it around the machine and the penny. He pulls the rubber band hard and lets it go. The rubber band snaps and the penny flies out of the machine. The machine makes a beep sound and the button pops up.
+
+"Yay, it worked!" Anna says.
+
+They press the button and listen. The machine says beep and then plays all the sounds they recorded before.
+
+They clap and hug each other. They are happy they fixed the machine. They decide to keep the penny as a lucky charm. They put it in their piggy bank and play with the machine some more. They record their own stories and songs. They have a lot of fun with their new toy.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But today is a special day. It is their birthday. They are very happy.
+
+Mom and Dad have a big surprise for them. They have a big box with a bow. They say, "This is for you, Sara and Ben. You can open it together."
+
+Sara and Ben are curious. They want to see what is inside. They pull the bow and tear the paper. They wrap the paper around their heads and laugh. They see a big tent. It is blue and yellow. It has a door and a window.
+
+Mom and Dad say, "This is your new tent. You can pitch it in the garden and sleep in it tonight. Do you like it?"
+
+Sara and Ben are very excited. They say, "Yes, we love it! Thank you, Mom and Dad. You are the best!"
+
+They hug Mom and Dad and run to the garden. They pitch the tent with some help. They put their pillows and blankets inside. They take their toys and books too. They say, "This is our new home. We can play and read and have fun."
+
+They play and read until it is dark. They see the stars and the moon. They hear the crickets and the owls. They are sleepy. They say, "Good night, Mom and Dad. Good night, tent. Good night, stars and moon."
+
+They snuggle in their blankets and close their eyes. They dream of more adventures. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are young. They are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and a swing. They want to try them.
+
+"Can I go first?" Anna asks.
+
+"OK, but then you let me go," Ben says.
+
+Anna nods. She climbs the slide and slides down. She laughs. She feels happy. She forgets about Ben. She climbs the slide again and again.
+
+Ben waits. He feels upset. He wants to slide too. He says, "Anna, it's my turn now. You said you would let me go."
+
+But Anna does not hear him. She slides down again. She does not look at Ben.
+
+Ben's mom sees him. She says, "Ben, are you OK? Do you want to try the swing?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, thank you. I want to slide with Anna. But she forgot about me. She is not a good friend."
+
+Ben's mom hugs him. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. Sometimes people forget to share. But that does not mean they are bad. Maybe Anna is having too much fun. Why don't you go and talk to her? Maybe she will remember you and let you slide."
+
+Ben nods. He wipes his tears. He walks to Anna. He says, "Anna, can I slide with you? I have been waiting for a long time. You said you would let me go."
+
+Anna looks at Ben. She sees his sad face. She remembers her promise. She feels sorry. She says, "Oh, Ben, I'm sorry. I forgot about you. I was having too much fun. But you are my friend. You can slide with me. Come on, let's slide together."
+
+Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are my friend too. Let's slide together."
+
+They climb the slide and slide down. They laugh. They feel happy. They share the slide. They learn to remember their friends and not forget to share.
+Sara and Ben went to the doctor with Mom. They had to wait in a big room with many chairs and toys. Sara and Ben played with the blocks and the books. They were lively and happy.
+
+"Next, please," a lady said. She had a badge with her name and a picture of a bone. Mom took Sara and Ben to a small room. There was a big machine and a screen.
+
+"This is an x-ray machine," the lady said. "It can take a picture of your bones. We need to number your fingers and toes, so we can see them better. Can you help me?"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They liked to number things. The lady gave them each a sticker with a number on it. She asked them to put the stickers on their fingers and toes.
+
+"One, two, three, four, five," Sara said, as she stuck the stickers on her left hand.
+
+"Six, seven, eight, nine, ten," Ben said, as he stuck the stickers on his right foot.
+
+"Very good," the lady said. "Now, let's take the x-ray. You need to stand still and smile. Mom will be right here with you."
+
+The lady pressed a button. The machine made a beep. The screen showed a picture of Sara and Ben's bones. They could see the numbers on their fingers and toes.
+
+"Wow, look at that," Mom said. "You have beautiful bones. Can you see them?"
+
+Sara and Ben looked at the screen. They saw their bones and the numbers. They smiled and clapped.
+
+"Yes, we can see them," they said. "They are cool."
+
+The lady printed the picture and gave it to Mom. She also gave Sara and Ben a sticker with a star on it.
+
+"You did a great job," the lady said. "You are very brave and smart. Thank you for helping me with the x-ray."
+
+Sara and Ben thanked the lady. They hugged Mom. They were proud and happy. They showed their x-ray picture and their star stickers to everyone. They liked to number their bones.
+Jill liked to collect things. She had a big box full of shells, rocks, feathers, and buttons. She liked to look at them and make patterns and pictures with them. She was very creative.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. They saw a big map of the world on a wall. Jill pointed at the map and asked, "What is that?"
+
+"That is a map of the world, Jill. It shows all the countries where people live. Do you see this one? This is where we live," her dad said.
+
+Jill looked at the map and saw many shapes and colors. She wanted to learn more about the countries. She had an idea. She asked her mom and dad, "Can I collect something from each country?"
+
+Her mom and dad smiled. They liked her idea. They said, "That sounds like a fun project, Jill. But how will you collect something from each country? We can't go to all of them."
+
+Jill thought for a moment. Then she said, "I can collect stamps! Stamps have pictures of the countries and their names. They are small and pretty. Can we buy some stamps, please?"
+
+Her mom and dad agreed. They took Jill to a store that sold stamps. Jill was very happy. She looked at all the stamps and chose one from each country. She paid with her own money that she had saved. She thanked the storekeeper and said, "I am going to collect stamps from all the countries in the world!"
+
+She went home and put her stamps in a special album. She looked at them and learned their names. She made stories about the people and places in the stamps. She was very creative. She had started a new collection.
+Ben and Mia like to play hide and seek in the park. They take turns to count and find each other. One day, they see a big hill with many trees and bushes. They think it is a good place to hide.
+
+Ben says, "I will count to ten and you hide, Mia." Mia nods and runs to the hill. She finds a thick bush with many leaves. She crawls under it and waits for Ben to find her.
+
+Ben counts to ten and says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looks around the park and sees the hill. He thinks Mia must be hiding there. He walks to the hill and starts to look for her. He looks behind trees and rocks, but he does not see Mia.
+
+He gets to the top of the hill and sees a big hole. He thinks Mia might be in the hole. He calls her name, but he does not hear her. He takes a step closer to the hole and looks inside. He sees nothing but darkness. He wonders where Mia is.
+
+Suddenly, he feels the ground shake. He hears a loud roar. He sees a big dragon come out of the hole. The dragon has scales, horns, wings, and fire. The dragon sees Ben and opens its mouth. Ben is scared. He screams and runs away.
+
+Mia hears Ben scream and comes out of the bush. She sees the dragon and Ben. She is scared too. She runs after Ben. She hopes the dragon does not see her.
+
+The dragon chases Ben and Mia. They run as fast as they can. They get to the park gate and see their mom. They run to her and hug her. They tell her about the dragon and the hole.
+
+Their mom does not believe them. She says, "There is no dragon or hole in the park. You must have imagined it." She looks at the hill and sees nothing but grass and flowers. She thinks they are playing a joke on her.
+
+Ben and Mia look at the hill too. They see no dragon or hole either. They wonder what happened. They think the dragon and the hole must have vanished. They are glad they are safe. They decide not to play hide and seek in the hill again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many bees. Lily says, "Look, Ben, a hive! Maybe there is honey inside. Honey is tasty. I love honey. Do you want some?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, I love honey too. But how can we get it? The bees will sting us. They are angry. They do not like us to take their honey."
+
+Lily says, "I have an idea. We can use a stick. We can hit the hive with the stick. Then the honey will fall down. We can catch it with our hands. Then we can run away. The bees will not catch us. Come on, Ben, let's try it."
+
+Ben says, "OK, Lily, let's try it. But be careful. The bees are scary. They have sharp needles. They can hurt us."
+
+Lily and Ben find a stick. They go to the tree. They hit the hive with the stick. The hive breaks. The honey falls down. But the bees also fall down. They are very angry. They fly to Lily and Ben. They sting them. They sting them a lot. Lily and Ben scream. They drop the stick. They drop the honey. They run away. But the bees follow them. They sting them more. Lily and Ben cry. They are in pain. They are sorry. They wish they did not hit the hive. They wish they did not take the honey. They wish they did not make the bees angry. They wish they were at home. They wish they had a good ending. But they do not. They have a bad ending.
+Sara liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes. She drew on paper, on the wall, on the floor. She was happy.
+
+But one day, she found a crayon that was not good. It was brown and soft and smelly. It had rot on it. Sara did not like it. She threw it away.
+
+Mom saw the rot crayon in the trash. She was not happy. She asked Sara, "Where did you get this crayon? It is bad. It can make you sick."
+
+Sara said, "I found it in the yard. It was under a leaf. I thought it was a new crayon. But it was not. It was a rot crayon."
+
+Mom said, "You should not pick up things from the yard. They can be dirty and germy. You should only use clean crayons. They are safe and pretty. Come, I will show you where to get clean crayons."
+
+Mom took Sara to the store. They bought a big box of clean crayons. They had many colors and shapes. Sara was happy. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. I love clean crayons. I will not use rot crayons anymore."
+Sam liked to draw in his notebook. He drew cars and planes and animals. He was very good at drawing. He took his notebook everywhere he went.
+
+One day, he went to the park with his mom and his sister. His sister was older and liked to play with her friends. Sam did not like to play with them. They were mean and loud. They made fun of his drawings. They said they were boring and ugly.
+
+Sam was sad and angry. He wanted to show them his drawings were not boring and ugly. He wanted to show them he was brave and smart. He saw a big slide in the park. It was very high and steep. He had never gone on it before. He was a little scared of it.
+
+He had an idea. He took his notebook and a crayon. He wrote on the first page: "I dare you to go on the slide". He left his notebook on a bench near the slide. He hid behind a tree and waited.
+
+He hoped his sister or her friends would see his notebook and take his dare. He hoped they would go on the slide and be scared. He hoped they would see his drawings and say they were good.
+
+But no one saw his notebook. No one took his dare. No one went on the slide. The wind blew his notebook off the bench and into a puddle. The water ruined his drawings. The crayon smeared his words.
+
+Sam came out of his hiding place and saw his notebook in the puddle. He ran to get it. He was very sad and angry. He cried and screamed. He threw his notebook on the ground. He stomped on it. He tore it apart.
+
+His mom heard him and came to see what was wrong. She saw his notebook in pieces. She saw his drawings and his words. She was very sad and angry too. She scolded him for being naughty and wasteful. She took him home and put him in his room. She said he could not have a new notebook for a long time.
+
+Sam was very sorry and ashamed. He wished he had not written the dare. He wished he had not left his notebook. He wished he had not ruined his drawings. He wished he had been more ordinary.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny and had a basket under it. They wanted to see it closer, so they ran after it.
+
+"Look, Ben, the balloon is rising higher and higher!" Lily said.
+
+"Maybe it is going to the moon!" Ben said.
+
+They followed the balloon until they reached a big field. There, they saw a man and a woman who were holding a rope. The rope was tied to the balloon.
+
+"Hello, children, do you like our balloon?" the woman asked.
+
+"Yes, it is very pretty!" Lily said.
+
+"Can we go inside the basket?" Ben asked.
+
+The man and the woman smiled. They said they were balloonists who liked to fly in the air. They said they had a reward for the children who helped them land the balloon.
+
+"What is the reward?" Ben and Lily asked.
+
+The woman opened a box and showed them some candy and stickers. Ben and Lily were very happy. They thanked the balloonists and took some candy and stickers.
+
+"Can we fly with you next time?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, if you ask your parents first," the woman said.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They said goodbye to the balloonists and ran back to their garden. They ate their candy and stuck their stickers on their clothes. They felt very lucky and proud.
+
+They did not know that their mother was watching them from the window. She was angry and worried. She thought they were ignorant and naughty. She did not like that they ran away without telling her. She did not like that they talked to strangers. She did not like that they took candy and stickers from them.
+
+She went outside and called them. She scolded them and told them to go inside. She said they had to wash their faces and hands and throw away the candy and stickers. She said they had to learn to be careful and obedient.
+
+Ben and Lily were sad and confused. They did not understand why their mother was so mad. They thought they had done something good and fun. They did not know that the balloonists were not nice people. They did not know that the candy and stickers were bad for them. They did not know that they had been in danger.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to act like chefs and make a yummy sauce for their pasta. They found some tomatoes, cheese, salt and pepper in the fridge and put them in a big pot. They turned on the stove and stirred the sauce with a wooden spoon.
+
+"Shh, we have to be quiet," Lily whispered to Ben. "Mom and Dad are sleeping in the other room. They don't know we are cooking. It will be a surprise for them."
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He liked to act like a chef with his sister. He thought the sauce smelled good and wanted to taste it. He reached for the spoon, but Lily stopped him.
+
+"No, Ben, don't do that!" she said. "The sauce is very hot. You will burn your tongue. Wait until it cools down a little."
+
+But Ben did not listen to Lily. He was too curious and hungry. He grabbed the spoon and put it in his mouth. He felt a sharp pain and spat out the sauce. He started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he wailed. "The sauce is too hot! It hurts!"
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben. She gave him a glass of water and a hug. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I told you to wait. The sauce is not ready yet. You have to be patient."
+
+Ben stopped crying and drank the water. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I should have listened to you. You are a good chef. Can we still give the sauce to Mom and Dad?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, we can. But we have to be quiet. We don't want to wake them up. Let's finish the sauce and put it on the pasta. Then we can put it on a tray and take it to their room. They will be so happy and proud of us."
+
+Lily and Ben finished the sauce and the pasta. They put them on a tray and added some napkins and forks. They carried the tray to their parents' room. They opened the door and saw Mom and Dad sleeping on the bed. They tiptoed to the bed and said, "Surprise! We made you breakfast!"
+
+Mom and Dad opened their eyes and smiled. They saw the tray and smelled the sauce. They said, "Wow, thank you, Lily and Ben! You are such wonderful chefs. We love you so much. Come here and give us a hug."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged their parents and felt happy. They had made a yummy sauce and a nice surprise. They had acted like chefs and learned a lesson. They had a good morning.
+Lily liked to eat a lot of cake. She ate cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She did not eat any fruits or vegetables. She did not like to run or play outside. She only liked to sit and watch TV.
+
+One day, Lily's mom took her to the doctor. The doctor said that Lily was very fat. He said that being fat was not good for her health. He said that she had to eat less cake and more healthy food. He also said that she had to increase her exercise and play more outside.

+Lily did not want to listen to the doctor. She liked cake too much. She did not want to eat healthy food or exercise. She cried and begged her mom to buy her more cake. Her mom said no. She said that she loved Lily and wanted her to be healthy and happy. She said that she would only buy cake once a week as a treat. She said that Lily had to follow the doctor's order.
+
+Lily was very angry and sad. She did not like the doctor's order. She did not like her mom's order. She did not like healthy food or exercise. She only liked cake. She decided to sneak out of the house and go to the bakery. She wanted to buy all the cake she could find.
+
+But when she got to the bakery, she saw a big sign. The sign said that the bakery was closed. It said that the baker was also very fat and had to go to the doctor. It said that the baker had to eat less cake and more healthy food. It said that the baker had to increase his exercise and play more outside. It said that the baker had to follow the doctor's order.
+
+Lily was shocked and scared. She did not want to end up like the baker. She did not want to be fat and sick. She did not want to go to the doctor again. She realized that cake was not worth it. She realized that she had to listen to her mom and the doctor. She realized that she had to eat healthy food and exercise. She realized that she had to follow the order.
+
+She ran back to her house and hugged her mom. She said that she was sorry for being naughty. She said that she wanted to be healthy and happy. She said that she would eat less cake and more healthy food. She said that she would increase her exercise and play more outside. She said that she would follow the order.
+
+Her mom was very proud and happy. She said that she was glad that Lily changed her mind. She said that she would help Lily to be healthy and happy. She said that she would eat less cake and more healthy food with her. She said that she would increase her exercise and play more outside with her. She said that they would follow the order together.
+Sara was very scared of the dark. She did not like to sleep in her room alone. She always had bad dreams, or nightmares, that made her cry and scream. She felt helpless when the monsters and ghosts came to get her.
+
+One night, she had a very bad nightmare. She dreamed that a big, hairy spider was crawling on her bed. It had many eyes and legs and fangs. It wanted to bite her and wrap her in a web. Sara tried to run away, but she could not move. She was stuck in the spider's web. She shouted for help, but no one heard her.
+
+Then, she heard a friendly voice. It said, "Don't be afraid, Sara. I'm here to help you." Sara looked and saw a small, fluffy cat. It had white fur and blue eyes and a pink nose. It was sitting on her pillow. It said, "I'm Snowy, your guardian angel. I can make your nightmares go away. Just hold my paw and close your eyes."
+
+Sara did what Snowy said. She held his paw and closed her eyes. She felt a warm and soft touch. She heard Snowy purr and whisper, "You are safe, Sara. You are brave, Sara. You are loved, Sara." She felt the spider and the web disappear. She felt calm and happy.
+
+She opened her eyes and saw that she was awake. It was morning. Snowy was still on her pillow. He smiled and said, "Good morning, Sara. You did very well. You met your nightmare and faced your fear. I'm proud of you." Sara hugged Snowy and said, "Thank you, Snowy. You are my best friend. You saved me from the spider. I'm not scared anymore." Snowy licked her cheek and said, "You're welcome, Sara. I'm always with you. You can always call me when you have a nightmare. I'll always help you." Sara smiled and said, "I love you, Snowy." Snowy said, "I love you, Sara." They snuggled and cuddled and fell asleep again.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with many orange balls on it. They wanted to pick some and taste them.
+
+"Look, Mia, orange balls!" Sam said. "Let's get some!"
+
+They ran to the tree and reached for the balls. They were hard and heavy. They pulled and pulled until they got two balls each.
+
+"Wow, they smell good!" Mia said. "Let's eat them!"
+
+They peeled the balls and saw the yellow inside. They took a big bite and made a funny face.
+
+"Yuck, they are sour!" Sam said. "They are not sweet like oranges!"
+
+"They are lemons, Sam!" Mia said. "Mommy told me. She uses them to make lemonade."
+
+"Lemonade?" Sam asked. "What is that?"
+
+"It is a drink that is sweet and sour and cold. Mommy makes it with lemons and water and sugar. It is yummy!" Mia said.
+
+"Can we make lemonade with these lemons?" Sam asked.
+
+"Maybe. But we need to ask Mommy first. And we need to keep some lemons for her. She likes them too." Mia said.
+
+"Okay. Let's go and ask Mommy. And let's keep two lemons for her and two for us." Sam said.
+
+They ran to the house with their lemons. They hoped Mommy would help them make lemonade. They liked to try new things. And they liked to share with Mommy.
+Anna and Ben like to play ball in the park. They have a big ball that is red and blue. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they miss the ball and it rolls away. Then they run after it and laugh.
+
+One day, a boy named Tom comes to the park. He has a small ball that is white and hard. He says he wants to play with Anna and Ben. He says he can throw the ball very fast and far. He says he can pitch the ball like a star.
+
+Anna and Ben do not understand what pitch means. They think it is a funny word. They say they want to see Tom pitch the ball. Tom says okay and takes his ball. He stands far away from Anna and Ben. He lifts his arm and throws the ball very hard.
+
+The ball flies in the air and makes a whizz sound. It goes very fast and far. It does not go to Anna or Ben. It goes to a tree and hits it with a bang. The tree shakes and a bird flies out. The bird is angry and makes a loud noise.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared and surprised. They think Tom is crazy. They do not like his ball. They say they do not want to play with Tom. They take their ball and run away. Tom is sad and confused. He does not understand why Anna and Ben do not like his pitch. He thinks his pitch is great. He picks up his ball and looks for someone else to play with.
+Lily was anxious. She had to sing a song in front of everyone at the school show. She practiced a lot with her teacher, but she was still nervous. She wore a round hat with flowers on it and a pink dress. She hoped she would not forget the words.
+
+It was her turn. She walked on the stage and saw all the faces looking at her. She felt her heart beat fast. She heard the music start and opened her mouth. She sang the song as loud as she could. She remembered all the words and the tune. She smiled and looked at her teacher, who nodded and smiled back.
+
+When she finished, everyone clapped. They clapped very loud and long. Lily heard them and felt happy. She bowed and waved. She heard some people say "well done" and "bravo". She saw her mom and dad in the crowd. They were smiling and clapping too. They looked proud of her. Lily felt proud of herself. She did it. She sang the song. She was not anxious anymore. She was glad.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They had a big gear that they found in the trash. They wanted to make it fly like a plane.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have an idea!" Ben said. "We can tie a string to the gear and throw it in the air. Then it will fly like a plane!"
+
+"OK, Ben, let's try it!" Lily said. She helped Ben tie a string to the gear. They ran to a hill and threw the gear as hard as they could.
+
+But the gear did not fly like a plane. It fell to the ground with a loud clank. Ben and Lily ran after it, but they tripped on the string and fell too.
+
+"Ow, that hurt!" Ben said. He rubbed his knee. "This gear is stupid. It can't fly at all!"
+
+Lily looked at the gear. She saw something shiny on it. She picked it up and showed it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, this is not a gear. It is a medal!" Lily said. "It has a star and some letters on it. Maybe someone lost it. Maybe it is very important."
+
+Ben looked at the medal. He felt bad for calling it stupid. He wondered who it belonged to.
+
+"Maybe we should give it back to someone," Ben said. "Maybe they will be happy to see it."
+
+Lily nodded. She smiled at Ben.
+
+"Maybe they will give us a hug and a thank you," Lily said. "Maybe they will tell us a story about the medal. Maybe they will teach us how to fly a real plane!"
+
+Ben and Lily held the medal and the string. They walked to the park gate. They looked for someone who might know about the medal. They hoped to find a new friend.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to observe everything. They had a big book with pictures of animals, plants, rocks and stars. They asked their mom and dad many questions about the book. They were eager to learn new things.
+
+One day, they felt the floor shake and heard a loud noise. They were scared and ran to their mom and dad. Mom and dad hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it's just an earthquake. It happens sometimes when the ground moves. We are safe inside our house."
+
+Anna and Ben looked out the window and saw some cracks on the road and some broken branches on the trees. They also saw some people helping each other to clean up the mess. They asked their mom and dad, "Why do earthquakes happen? Why do people help each other?"
+
+Mom and dad explained, "Earthquakes happen because the earth is made of big pieces that move sometimes. We don't know when or where they will happen, but we can be prepared and stay calm. People help each other because we are all part of the same community. We care for each other and share what we have. That's what makes us strong and kind."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and smiled. They learned something new and important. They said, "Thank you, mom and dad, for teaching us and protecting us. We love you and we love our community. We want to help too when we grow up."
+
+Mom and dad kissed them and said, "We love you too, Anna and Ben. You are smart and brave. We are proud of you and your curiosity. You can help by being good and respectful to everyone. That's the best way to show your love and gratitude."
+Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a good cook like her mom. One day, her mom asked her to set the table for dinner. Lily was happy to do it. She took the plates from the cupboard and put them on the table. She was very careful not to drop them.
+
+But when she reached for the last plate, she saw a big spider on it. Lily was scared of spiders. She screamed and let go of the plate. The plate fell to the floor and broke into pieces. Lily started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken plate and the spider. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. Don't cry. It was just a spider. It can't hurt you. And the plate was old and cracked. We can get a new one. I'm not mad at you. I know you were trying to help."
+
+Lily looked at her mom with her pale face and big eyes. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to break the plate. I was scared of the spider. I don't like spiders. They are ugly and hairy and scary."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I understand, Lily. I don't like spiders either. But they are not bad. They just look different. They help us by eating the bugs that eat our plants. They are part of nature. Maybe we can learn more about them and see that they are not so scary. Would you like that?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Maybe. But can we do it later? I'm hungry now. Can we eat dinner?"
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "Of course, we can. Come on, let's go to the table. I made your favorite soup. And don't worry about the plate. I have another one for you. You are a good helper, Lily. I love you very much."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for caring about me."
+One day, a fisherman went to the lake to catch some fish. He had a big net and a small boat. He threw the net into the water and waited for a while. Then he pulled the net back and saw many fish inside.
+
+"Wow, I caught a lot of fish today!" he said happily. He took the net to his boat and started to sort the fish. He put the big fish in one basket and the small fish in another basket. He wanted to sell the big fish at the market and keep the small fish for his family.
+
+As he was sorting the fish, he saw something shiny in the net. He picked it up and looked at it. It was a ring with a blue stone. It was very pretty and interesting.
+
+"Where did this ring come from?" he wondered. "Maybe someone lost it in the lake. Maybe it belongs to a princess or a king. Maybe it has magic powers."
+
+He decided to keep the ring and put it on his finger. He felt very lucky and proud. He finished sorting the fish and sailed back to the shore. He was looking forward to showing the ring to his wife and children. He thought they would be very surprised and happy. He did not know that the ring had a secret. He did not know that the ring was cursed. He did not know that the ring would change his life forever.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the pool. They liked to splash and swim and have fun. Lily saw a big red ball floating on the water. She wanted to play with it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a ball!" she said. "Let's get it!"
+
+She swam towards the ball, but Ben was faster. He reached the ball first and grabbed it.
+
+"Ha, ha, I got it!" he said. "It's mine!"
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted the ball too. She tried to take it from Ben, but he held it tight.
+
+"Give it to me, Ben!" she said. "It's not fair!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" he said. "You can't have it!"
+
+They pulled and pushed and fought over the ball. They did not see the big wave coming.
+
+The wave hit them and knocked them off balance. They let go of the ball and it flew away. They both dived under the water to avoid the wave.
+
+They came up and looked around. They could not see the ball anywhere. It was gone.
+
+They felt sorry and silly. They had lost the ball because they were not nice to each other.
+
+They swam to each other and hugged.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I was mean to you. You can have the ball next time."
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "I was mean to you too. You can have the ball too."
+
+They smiled and said they were friends again. They saw a new toy in the pool. It was a soft and fluffy velvet bear. It looked easy to play with.
+
+"Look, Ben, a bear!" Lily said. "Let's get it!"
+
+They swam towards the bear, but this time they did not fight. They shared the bear and played nicely. They had more fun that way.
+Jen and Tom are twins. They like to play in the yard. They find a lot of junk there. They see cans, bottles, boxes and papers. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's decorate the junk!" Jen says. "We can make it pretty and fun!"
+
+"OK!" Tom says. "I have some paint and stickers. You have some ribbons and buttons. Let's go!"
+
+They start to decorate the junk. They paint the cans with bright colors. They stick the stickers on the bottles. They tie the ribbons around the boxes. They sew the buttons on the papers. They make a lot of noise and mess.
+
+Mom hears them and comes out. She sees the junk. She is not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asks. "This is not art. This is trash. You have to clean it up. And you have to wash your hands. They are dirty and sticky."
+
+"But Mom, we are decorating!" Jen says. "We are making the junk beautiful!"
+
+"No, you are not," Mom says. "You are wasting paint and stickers and ribbons and buttons. And you are making the yard ugly. This junk belongs in the bin, not in the yard."
+
+She gives them a sour look. She makes them pick up the junk and put it in the bin. She makes them wash their hands and faces. She makes them go inside.
+
+Jen and Tom are sad. They think their junk was pretty and fun. They do not understand why Mom is angry. They do not like her sour look. They wish they could decorate the junk again.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to watch films together. They have a big TV in Ben's room. One day, they want to watch a new film. It is about a princess and a dragon.
+
+But Ben's big sister, Zoe, is mean. She does not let them watch the film. She says it is her TV and her film. She says they are too little to watch it. She says she will watch it with her boyfriend, Tom.
+
+Ben and Mia are sad and angry. They go to Mia's room. They have an idea. They sneak back to Ben's room. They see Zoe and Tom on the sofa. They are kissing. They are not watching the film.

+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play on the beach and make sand castles. One day, they found a big shell on the sand. It was shiny and pretty. Lily wanted to keep it, but so did Max.
+
+"Give me the shell, Lily!" Max said. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, Max, it's mine!" Lily said. "I picked it up first!"
+
+They both pulled on the shell, but it did not break. They got angry and started to pinch each other. It hurt a lot.
+
+A man was watching them from a boat. He was a pirate. He had a hook for a hand and a patch over one eye. He was jealous of the children. He wanted the shell too. He thought it was a treasure. He had a plan.
+
+He sailed his boat closer to the shore. He waited for the right moment. When Lily and Max were busy pinching each other, he jumped out of the boat and ran to them. He grabbed the shell and laughed.
+
+"Ha ha ha! This is mine now!" he said. "You silly kids, you don't know what you have! This is a magic shell! It can take me to a secret island where there is more treasure!"
+
+Lily and Max stopped pinching each other. They looked at the pirate. They were scared and sad. They wanted their shell back.
+
+"Please, mister, give us our shell back!" Lily said. "We don't care about treasure, we just like the shell!"
+
+"Too bad, little girl!" the pirate said. "This is my lucky day! Goodbye, kids!"
+
+He ran back to his boat and sailed away. He blew the shell like a horn. He hoped it would show him the way to the island.
+
+But the shell did not work. It only made a loud noise. The noise was so loud that it woke up a big shark. The shark was hungry and angry. It saw the pirate and his boat. It decided to chase them.
+
+The pirate saw the shark. He was scared and sorry. He wished he had not taken the shell. He wished he had been nice to the children.
+
+"Help, help!" he cried. "The shark is coming!"
+
+But no one heard him. No one helped him. The shark caught up with him and his boat. It bit them and dragged them under the water.
+
+Lily and Max saw what happened. They felt sorry for the pirate, but they were also glad. They learned a lesson. They decided to share the shell and be friends again.
+
+They hugged each other and smiled. They went back to the beach and made a new sand castle. They put the shell on top of it. It was shiny and pretty. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to race them on the floor and make loud noises. Sometimes they crashed their cars and laughed.
+
+One day, Ben saw a new car that Lily had. It was big and shiny and had a button that made it reverse. Ben wanted to play with it, but Lily said no. She said it was her car and she did not want to share. Ben felt sad and angry. He thought it was not fair.
+
+He waited until Lily was not looking and took her car. He ran to the other side of the room and pressed the button. The car reversed fast and hit a big squash that was on the table. The squash fell down and splattered on the floor. The car broke into pieces. Ben was scared and sorry.
+
+Lily heard the noise and saw what happened. She cried and shouted at Ben. She said he was bad and mean. She said he had to give her his cars as a sorry. Ben felt worse and worse. He did not want to give his cars, but he knew he did something wrong.
+
+Their mom came and saw the mess. She asked them what happened. Ben and Lily told her the truth. Mom was not happy. She said they both made mistakes. She said Lily should have shared her car and Ben should not have taken it. She said sharing and asking are fair and kind. She said breaking and stealing are not.
+
+She helped them clean up the squash and the car. She said they had to say sorry to each other and hug. She said they had to play nicely with their cars and take turns. She said they could not have any more new cars until they learned their lesson. Ben and Lily felt sorry and hugged. They said they would be fair and kind. They played with their cars and had fun.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their crayons and papers. They liked to draw animals and flowers and cars. They had a big folder to keep their drawings in. They shared the folder and took turns to put their drawings inside.

+One day, Ben wanted to draw a big dragon. He took a lot of papers and crayons and started to draw. He drew the dragon's head, body, wings, tail and fire. He was very proud of his dragon. He wanted to show it to Lily.
+
+He looked for Lily, but he could not find her. He saw the folder on the floor. He thought Lily was hiding behind the folder. He ran to the folder and lifted it up. But Lily was not there. Instead, he saw a lot of papers and crayons spread all over the floor. Some of the papers were torn and some of the crayons were broken.
+
+Ben was very angry. He thought Lily had made a mess with his papers and crayons. He shouted, "Lily, where are you? You are very bad! You ruined my papers and crayons!"
+
+Lily heard Ben's shout. She came out from under the table. She was holding a paper and a crayon. She had drawn a heart and written "I love you, Ben" on the paper. She wanted to surprise Ben with her drawing.
+
+She saw Ben's angry face and the mess on the floor. She was very sad. She said, "Ben, I'm sorry. I did not make the mess. I was under the table, drawing for you. I wanted to give you a gift. Look, this is for you."
+
+She showed Ben her drawing. Ben looked at the drawing. He saw the heart and the words. He felt sorry for shouting at Lily. He realized that Lily was honest and did not lie. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry too. I did not see you under the table. I thought you made the mess. Thank you for your drawing. It is very nice. I love you too, Lily."
+
+He hugged Lily and gave her his dragon drawing. They smiled and said sorry to each other. They picked up the papers and crayons and put them back in the folder. They decided to draw together and share their drawings. They were happy and friends again.

+
+"Can we touch the baby?" Anna asked the kangaroo.
+
+The kangaroo shook her head. She did not want the kids to touch her baby. She was scared they would hurt him.
+
+"Please, please, please!" Ben begged. He did not listen to the kangaroo. He ran to her and tried to pull the baby out of the pouch.
+
+The kangaroo was angry. She slapped Ben with her paw. Ben fell to the ground. He cried and cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben said. "The kangaroo is mean! She slapped me!"
+
+Anna ran to Ben. She hugged him and said sorry.
+

+
+Ben looked at the kangaroo. She was still shaking her head. She was still scared. Ben felt bad. He said sorry to the kangaroo.
+
+"I am sorry, kangaroo," Ben said. "I did not mean to hurt your baby. You are a good mom. You are not mean. You are nice."
+
+The kangaroo nodded. She smiled a little. She was happy that Ben said sorry. She let Anna and Ben see her baby. The baby was cute. He had big ears and a long tail. Anna and Ben smiled too. They said thank you to the kangaroo.

+Mom gives Ben and Tom their steak. She says, "Be careful, it is hot. And don't tease Rex with your steak. He is hungry too." She goes to get her steak from the kitchen.
+
+Ben and Tom start to eat their steak. It is juicy and tasty. They see Rex looking at them with big eyes. He wants some steak too. Ben and Tom think it is funny to tease Rex with their steak. They hold their steak in the air and say, "Look, Rex, we have steak and you don't. Ha ha ha!"
+
+Rex does not think it is funny. He thinks it is bad. He feels angry and sad. He jumps up and tries to get the steak from Ben and Tom. He barks and growls and bites. He knocks over the table and the plates and the cups. He makes a big mess.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes back. She sees the mess and Rex and Ben and Tom. She is very mad. She says, "What did you do? You are bad boys! You teased Rex with your steak and made him angry. Now you have no steak and no toys and no dog. Go to your room and stay there. And no dessert for you!"
+
+Ben and Tom cry and say they are sorry. But it is too late. They have no steak and no toys and no dog. They have a bad ending.
+Tommy liked to go to the park with his mom. He liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. He also liked to watch the birds, the dogs and the people.

+One clown was very jolly. He had a red nose, and a green wig, and a yellow suit. He saw Tommy and smiled. He came to him and gave him a balloon. He said, "Hello, little boy. Do you like the circus?"
+
+Tommy nodded. He said, "Yes, I do. I like you, clown. You are funny and nice."
+
+The clown said, "Thank you, little boy. You are sweet and smart. Do you want to take a picture with me?"
+
+Tommy nodded. He said, "Yes, please. Mom, can we take a picture with the clown?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course, Tommy. That is a good idea. Let me get my camera."

She says, "You are very intelligent. You are very good singers. You are very sweet." They hug her and say, "We love you, grandma. You make us happy." They have a wonderful day.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big puddle on the road. It looked like fun.
+
+"Let's jump in the puddle!" Lily said.
+
+"OK!" Tom said.
+
+They ran to the puddle and jumped in. Splash! Splash! Splash! They laughed and got wet. They did not see the car coming.
+
+"Hey, you kids! Get out of the road!" the driver shouted. He honked his horn. Beep! Beep! Beep!
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They ran out of the road and hid behind a tree. They were wet and dirty. They felt foolish.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I did not see the car." Tom said.
+
+"It's OK, Tom. I did not see it either. But we should remember to look both ways before we cross the road. It is not safe to play in the puddle." Lily said.
+
+They hugged and said sorry to the driver. He was not angry. He told them to be careful next time. He drove away.
+
+Lily and Tom went home. They changed their clothes and dried their hair. They learned their lesson. They never played in the puddle again.
+Lily and Max were playing in the sandbox. They both wanted the same toy truck. It was red and shiny and had big wheels. They both reached for it at the same time.
+
+"Mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, mine!" Max yelled.
+
+They pulled and tugged on the truck. They did not want to share. They started to fight. They pushed and kicked and scratched each other. They made a lot of noise and got filthy with sand and dirt.
+
+"Stop it, stop it!" their mom said. She came over and took the truck away. She was angry and sad. She looked at them with a frown.
+
+"Look at you two. You are filthy and mean. Fighting is not nice. Fighting is not fun. You have to learn to play together and share. The truck is not a prize. It is a toy. Toys are for everyone. Now you have to say sorry and hug each other."
+
+Lily and Max felt bad. They did not like to fight. They did not like to make their mom unhappy. They looked at each other and said sorry. They hugged each other and smiled.
+
+"Can we have the truck back, please?" they asked.
+
+"Only if you promise to take turns and be kind," their mom said.
+
+They nodded and said yes. Their mom gave them the truck back. They wiped off the sand and dirt. They played with the truck together. They had fun. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. One day, they saw a big building with a pointy roof. It was very pretty and shiny.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked Tom.
+
+"That is a temple," Tom said. "My mom told me. People go there to pray and be happy."
+
+"Can we go there?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe. Let's ask mom," Tom said.
+
+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her about the temple and asked if they could go inside.
+
+"Sure, we can go," mom said. "But we have to be quiet and respectful. The temple is a special place."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were excited to see the temple. They followed mom to the big building. They took off their shoes and went inside.
+
+The temple was very beautiful. There were many colors, lights, flowers and statues. Tom and Lily looked around with wonder. They saw some people sitting on the floor, with their eyes closed and their hands together. They were praying.
+
+Tom and Lily wanted to pray too. They copied the people and sat on the floor. They closed their eyes and put their hands together. They tried to be quiet and respectful.
+
+But it was hard. Tom and Lily were not used to sitting still for so long. They felt bored and restless. They wanted to talk and play.
+
+Tom opened one eye and looked at Lily. Lily opened one eye and looked at Tom. They smiled at each other. They whispered in each other's ears.
+
+"Let's go play," Tom said.
+
+"OK," Lily said.
+
+They got up and ran to the door. They put on their shoes and went outside. They saw the park again. They felt happy and free.
+
+They ran, swung, slid and climbed. They played and laughed. They forgot about the temple.
+
+Mom came out of the temple. She saw Tom and Lily playing in the park. She smiled and shook her head. She knew they were too young to understand the temple. She hoped they would learn someday.
+
+But for now, she let them play. She joined them and had fun. She was happy too.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with dogs. One day, they visit a big house with a big yard. The owner of the house has a big dog. His name is Max.
+
+"Hello, Max!" Tom and Jen say. "Can we play with you?" Max wags his tail. He likes Tom and Jen. He runs to them and licks their faces. They laugh and pet him.
+
+The owner of the house comes out. He is a nice man. He says, "Hello, Tom and Jen. Do you like Max? He is a good dog. But he is lonely. I have to go away for a long time. I need someone to take care of him. Do you want to keep him?"
+
+Tom and Jen look at each other. They love Max. But they live in a small apartment. They have no yard. They have no room for a big dog. They feel sad.
+
+"Sorry, sir," Tom says. "We can't keep Max. We have no space. He needs a big yard. He needs a big house. He needs a big owner."
+
+The owner of the house nods. He says, "I understand. Thank you for being honest. But don't worry. I will find a good home for Max. He will be happy. He will have a new friend. He will not be lonely."
+
+Tom and Jen hug Max. They say goodbye. They hope he will be happy. They walk away. They look back. They see Max in the big yard. He looks sad. He looks empty.
+Lily and Tom were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+But then the sky became dark and ugly. It made loud noises and flashed bright lights. Lily and Tom were scared. They did not like the ugly sky.
+
+"Let's go inside, Tom!" Lily said. "The ugly sky is angry and might strike us!"
+
+Tom nodded and ran after Lily. They held hands and ran to their house. They hoped their mom and dad were home.
+
+They reached the door and opened it. They saw their mom and dad sitting on the couch. They looked happy and smiled at them.
+
+"Hi, Lily and Tom!" their mom said. "Did you have fun outside?"
+
+Lily and Tom ran to their mom and dad and hugged them. They felt safe and warm.
+
+"We did, mom, but then the sky became ugly and scary!" Lily said.
+
+"It was loud and bright, mom, and we thought it would strike us!" Tom said.
+
+Their mom and dad hugged them and kissed them. They explained to them that the ugly sky was not angry, but just making a storm. They said that the storm would not strike them, but only make rain and wind. They said that the storm would soon go away and the sky would become nice and blue again.
+
+Lily and Tom listened to their mom and dad. They felt better and less scared. They asked their mom and dad if they could watch a movie with them until the storm was over. Their mom and dad agreed and turned on the TV. They all cuddled on the couch and watched a funny movie. They forgot about the ugly sky and had fun. They were happy and loved.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. But today, Mom is grumpy. She has a lot of work to do. She says, "Tom and Lily, please be quiet. I need to finish my work."
+
+Tom and Lily try to be quiet. They play with their blocks and their dolls. But they get bored. They want to have fun. They start to giggle and make noises.
+
+Mom hears them. She is not happy. She says, "Tom and Lily, I told you to be quiet. Why are you so noisy? Go to your bed and take a nap."
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They don't want to go to bed. They say, "But Mom, we are not sleepy. We want to play. Please, Mom, don't be grumpy."
+
+Mom sighs. She sees that Tom and Lily are not bad. They are just kids. She says, "Okay, okay. You can play. But please, be quiet. And don't make a mess."
+
+Tom and Lily smile. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We will be quiet. And we will clean up our toys."
+
+Mom smiles too. She says, "I love you too, Tom and Lily. You are good twins. Now, let me finish my work."
+
+Tom and Lily play quietly. They are happy. Mom finishes her work. She is happy too. They hug and kiss. They are a happy family.
+Anna loves to help her mom in the kitchen. She likes to stir the soup, cut the bread and set the table. She also likes to feed her cat, Luna, who is very adorable and soft.
+
+One day, Anna and her mom are making spaghetti for dinner. Anna helps her mom boil the water, add the noodles and pour the sauce. She smells the yummy food and feels hungry. She asks her mom, "Can we eat now?"
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "Yes, we can. But first, we have to call dad and Luna. Can you do that for me?" Anna nods and runs to the living room. She sees her dad reading a book on the couch. She says, "Dad, dad, come! Dinner is ready!"
+
+Her dad puts down his book and follows Anna to the kitchen. He sees the spaghetti on the stove and says, "Wow, that looks delicious. You and mom did a great job." He hugs Anna and her mom and thanks them.
+
+Anna then looks for Luna, who is hiding under the bed. She says, "Luna, Luna, come! I have a plate for you!" She holds a small plate with some tuna and cheese. She knows Luna loves those. She puts the plate on the floor and taps it gently. She says, "Come on, Luna. Don't be shy. It's yummy."
+
+Luna hears Anna's voice and smells the food. She comes out from under the bed and walks slowly to the plate. She sniffs it and licks it. She purrs and rubs her head against Anna's hand. She says, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind and sweet."
+
+Anna smiles and pets Luna. She says, "You're welcome, Luna. You are very adorable and cute." She picks up Luna and carries her to the kitchen. She says, "Come on, Luna. Let's eat with mom and dad. We are a happy family."
+Tom was very happy. Today was his birthday. He had a big cake, many balloons and some friends to play with. He also had a big surprise. His mom and dad gave him a new bike. It was red and shiny and had a bell.
+
+"Wow! Thank you, mom and dad!" Tom said. "Can I ride it now?"
+
+"Of course, sweetie. But be careful and wear your helmet," mom said.
+
+Tom put on his helmet and got on his bike. He felt mighty. He could go fast and make loud noises with his bell. He rode around the yard and showed his friends his bike. They all clapped and cheered.
+
+"Tom, you are so good at riding your bike!" his friend Lily said.
+

+Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They liked to pour water on the flowers and the grass.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can pour water very high!" Sam said. He lifted his cup and poured water in the air. Some of it splashed on his face and made him laugh.
+
+Lily smiled and poured some water on a rose. She saw something move on the rose. It was a spider. It was black and hairy and had eight legs. Lily was scared of spiders. She screamed and dropped her cup.
+
+"Help, Sam, help! There is a spider on the rose!" Lily cried.
+
+Sam ran to Lily and saw the spider. He was not scared of spiders. He thought they were cool and clever. He picked up a stick and gently touched the spider. The spider crawled on the stick and Sam lifted it up.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily, it is just a spider. It will not hurt you. See, it is very small and cute," Sam said. He showed Lily the spider on the stick. He hoped she would like it.
+
+Lily looked at the spider. She saw that it was not very big and it had shiny eyes. She felt a little curious. She reached out her hand and touched the spider. It tickled her finger.
+
+"Maybe it is not so bad," Lily said. "Can I hold it, Sam?"
+
+Sam nodded and gave Lily the stick. Lily held the stick and the spider. She smiled and said, "Hello, spider. You are a successful spider. You can make webs and catch bugs. You are a good spider."
+
+Sam smiled too. He was happy that Lily was not scared of spiders anymore. He said, "You are a brave girl, Lily. You can make friends with spiders. You are a good girl."
+
+They played with the spider for a while. Then they put it back on the rose. They said goodbye to the spider and thanked it for being nice. They picked up their cups and poured more water on the flowers and the grass. They had fun in the garden.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to go on adventures. One day, they decided to take the subway to the park. They asked their mom for money and she gave them some coins. She also gave them a map and told them which stop to get off.
+
+"Be careful and have fun," she said. "I recommend you stay together and don't talk to strangers."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and ran to the subway station. They found the right train and got on. They sat next to a window and watched the buildings and tunnels go by. They were very excited.
+
+After a while, they heard a loud noise and felt the train shake. The lights went off and the train stopped. Lily and Ben were scared. They heard people scream and cry. They held each other's hands.
+
+"What's happening?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe there's a problem with the train."
+
+They waited for a long time, but nothing changed. They started to feel hungry and thirsty. They wished they had brought some snacks and water. They wondered if their mom was worried about them.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a voice on the speaker. It was a man who sounded troubled.
+
+"Hello, passengers. I'm sorry to inform you that there has been an accident on the tracks. We are working hard to fix it, but it may take some time. Please stay calm and wait for instructions. Thank you for your patience."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They hoped the man would fix the train soon. They wanted to go to the park and see their mom. They hoped their adventure would have a happy ending.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. They go to school together and sit at the same desk. The desk is big and has many colors.
+
+One day, Tom and Jen find a pretty sticker in their desk. It is shiny and has a star on it. They both want the sticker. They start to fight over it. They pull and push and yell. They do not share or say sorry.
+
+The teacher sees them fight. She is not happy. She takes the sticker away from them. She says, "Fighting is bad. You need to be kind and fair. If you want something, you have to ask nicely or take turns. You have to respect each other and the desk. The desk is not yours. It is for everyone to use and enjoy."
+
+Tom and Jen feel sad and ashamed. They realize they were wrong. They say sorry to each other and to the teacher. They hug and make up. They learn their lesson. They do not fight anymore. They share and help each other. They have fun with their toys and pictures. They love their desk and their friend.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the kitchen. They had many toys, but they also liked to open the cabinets and see what was inside. One day, they found a big jar of cookies in one of the cabinets. They wanted to eat the cookies, but they knew they had to ask Mom first.
+
+"Mom, can we have some cookies?" Tom asked.
+
+"Not now, boys. It's almost time for lunch. You can have one cookie each after you finish your food," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Sam were not happy. They wanted the cookies now. They decided to sneak some when Mom was not looking. They opened the jar and took out two cookies each. They ate them quickly and put the jar back in the cabinet.
+
+But they did not close the cabinet door properly. It was still a little bit open. Tom saw it and tried to push it with his hand. But it did not close. He got angry and kicked the cabinet door hard.
+
+Bang! The cabinet door slammed shut, but the jar of cookies fell down and broke. Cookies and glass pieces were everywhere on the floor. Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+Tom and Sam were scared. They knew they did something bad. They did not say anything.
+
+"Did you boys take the cookies without asking me?" Mom asked.
+
+Tom and Sam nodded. They felt sorry.
+
+"And did you kick the cabinet door and break the jar?" Mom asked.
+
+Tom nodded. He felt more sorry.
+
+Mom was not happy. She was angry and sad. She told Tom and Sam to go to their room and think about what they did. She also told them they could not have any more cookies for a week. She said they had to learn to listen to her and to be careful with things.
+
+Tom and Sam went to their room. They did not want to play. They wanted to hug Mom and say they were sorry. They learned that kicking things and taking things without asking were not good. They learned that they had to be fine boys who respected Mom and the kitchen.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big horse toy in the park. It was brown and soft and had a long tail. They both wanted to have it.
+
+"Let me have the horse, Tim. It is mine," Sam said.
+
+"No, it is mine, Sam. I saw it first," Tim said.
+
+They began to pull the horse from each other. They did not discuss or share. They were angry and rude.
+
+The horse toy was weak. It could not stand the pulling. It ripped in half. The stuffing came out. The horse was ruined.

+
+"Can I have your car, Tom?" Anna asks.
+

+
+"But your car is nicer. Please, let me have it," Anna begs.
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea.
+
+"OK, you can have my car. But you have to pay me," he says.

+
+"You have to give me something. Something I like," Tom says.
+
+Anna looks around. She sees her doll. She loves her doll. She does not want to give it to Tom.

+
+Tom looks at the cookie. He likes cookies. But he likes his car more.
+

+
+Tom feels sorry for Anna. He likes Anna. He does not want to make her sad.

+
+"Can I have the green ball, Mom?" Sara says.
+
+Mom looks at the ball. She sees the price. It is too much. She says no.

+
+Sara is sad. She wants the green ball. She starts to cry. Ben sees Sara crying. He feels sorry for her. He has an idea. He has some money in his pocket. He got it from Grandma for his birthday. He decides to buy the green ball for Sara.

+Ben and Lily were playing in the basement. They liked to pretend they were explorers in a dark cave. They had a flashlight to see where they were going.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a treasure!" Lily said, holding up a shiny necklace. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Wow, Lily, that is a great treasure!" Ben said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Lily gave Ben the necklace. He put it around his neck and smiled. He felt like a king.
+
+Suddenly, the flashlight went off. It was very dark. Ben and Lily could not see anything.
+
+"Oh no, what happened?" Lily asked, scared.
+
+"I don't know, maybe the flashlight is broken," Ben said. "Or maybe it needs new batteries."
+
+"Where are the batteries?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, maybe in the drawer," Ben said. "But we can't see the drawer."
+
+Ben and Lily felt around the basement. They bumped into boxes and toys. They could not find the drawer.
+
+"Ben, I'm scared," Lily said. "I want to go upstairs."
+
+"Me too, Lily," Ben said. "But how can we find the stairs?"
+
+They heard a noise. It was their mom. She had come to check on them.
+
+"Ben, Lily, are you okay?" she asked. "Why is it so dark?"
+
+"Mom, we're here!" Ben and Lily shouted. "Our flashlight is broken!"
+
+Mom turned on the light. She saw Ben and Lily in the corner. She saw the flashlight on the floor. She saw the necklace on Ben's neck.
+
+"Oh, you poor things," she said. "You must have been scared. Here, let me see the flashlight."
+
+She picked up the flashlight. She opened it. She saw the batteries. They were old and dull.
+
+"These batteries are no good," she said. "They don't make any power. You need new batteries to make the flashlight work."
+
+She took out the old batteries. She threw them in the trash. She got new batteries from the drawer. She put them in the flashlight. She turned it on. It was bright.
+
+"Look, it works!" she said. "Now you can play with your flashlight again."
+
+"Thank you, mom!" Ben and Lily said. "You are the best!"
+
+They hugged their mom. They took the flashlight. They went back to their cave. They had fun with their treasure. They were not scared anymore.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to find pine cones and make them into hats and necklaces. They also liked to smell the pine trees. They smelled sweet and fresh.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a big pine cone!" Ben said. He held up a brown and spiky cone. "It can be a crown for you!"
+
+"Thank you, Ben!" Lily said. She put the pine cone on her head. "You are a good brother. Do you want a necklace?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben said. Lily gave him a necklace made of small pine cones. They smiled at each other.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. It came from behind a bush. They saw a big bear. It had black fur and sharp teeth. It looked angry and hungry.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted. He grabbed Lily's hand and they ran away from the bear. They were very scared. They hoped the bear would not catch them.
+
+They ran until they reached their house. They saw their mom and dad. They hugged them and told them what happened.
+
+"Oh, my poor babies!" Mom said. "You are safe now. The bear was probably just looking for food. It did not want to hurt you."
+
+"Are you sure, Mom?" Lily asked. She was still shaking.
+
+"Yes, I'm sure, Lily," Mom said. "But you should not go too far into the forest. It can be dangerous. Next time, stay close to us, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mom," Lily and Ben said. They nodded. They were glad they had each other. They were also glad they had their pine cone hats and necklaces. They were their lucky charms.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big gray cat. The cat has dirty fur and a long tail. It looks at them with green eyes.
+
+"Let's follow the cat!" Tom says. He thinks the cat is cool. He wants to pet it.
+
+"No, Tom, don't follow the cat!" Sue says. She thinks the cat is disgusting. She is afraid of it. She wants to stay away from it.
+
+But Tom does not listen to Sue. He runs after the cat. The cat runs away from Tom. It goes into a dark alley. Tom follows the cat into the alley.
+
+Sue waits for Tom in the park. She is worried. She hopes Tom is okay. She does not like the alley. She thinks it is scary.
+
+Soon, Tom comes back from the alley. He looks sad. He has scratches on his face and hands. He has dirt on his clothes. He smells bad.
+
+"What happened, Tom?" Sue asks.
+
+"The cat was mean. It scratched me. It hissed at me. It ran away. The alley was dirty. It had trash and rats. It was disgusting." Tom says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. That sounds awful. I told you not to follow the cat." Sue says.
+
+"I know, Sue. You were right. I should have listened to you. Next time, I will listen to you." Tom says.
+
+Sue hugs Tom. She is glad he is back. She is a good friend. She helps him clean his wounds. She gives him a cookie. She says they can play something else.
+
+Tom smiles. He is happy. He has a good friend. He says he is sorry. He says they can play whatever Sue wants.
+
+They go to the swings. They have fun. They forget about the cat. They are friends.
+Mia loves her pony, Spot. Spot is brown and white and has a long mane. Mia likes to brush his mane and give him apples. Today, Mia and Spot are going to the park. Mia is eager to ride Spot and see the flowers and the birds.
+
+"Come on, Spot, let's go!" Mia says, putting on her helmet and climbing on Spot's back. Spot neighs and trots along the path. Mia holds on to his reins and smiles. She sees the sun shining and the grass waving. She feels the wind in her hair and the pony's fur.
+
+They reach the park and see a big fountain. The fountain sprays water high in the air. The water sparkles and makes a rainbow. Mia thinks it is very pretty. She wants to get closer and see the rainbow better.
+
+"Look, Spot, a rainbow!" Mia says, pointing to the fountain. "Let's go see it!" She guides Spot towards the fountain. Spot is curious and follows her. He likes the sound of the water and the cool mist.
+
+But as they get closer, the fountain sprays more water. Some of the water lands on Spot's face. Spot does not like that. He shakes his head and snorts. He backs away from the fountain. He does not want to get wet.
+
+"Whoa, Spot, it's okay!" Mia says, trying to calm him down. "It's just water, it won't hurt you. It's fun!" She laughs and splashes her hand in the water. She does not mind getting wet. She thinks it is fun.
+
+But Spot does not think it is fun. He is scared and wants to go away. He turns around and runs back to the path. He does not listen to Mia's voice. He does not stop until he is far from the fountain.
+
+Mia is surprised and scared. She holds on to Spot's reins and tries to stop him. She does not like going so fast. She does not like being away from the fountain. She wants to go back and see the rainbow.
+
+"Spot, stop, please!" Mia says, pulling on the reins. "Please, Spot, stop!" She cries and hugs Spot's neck. She hopes he will stop soon. She hopes he will not run away. She hopes he will be her friend again.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys and make things. One day, they find a big box in the park. The box has a sign that says "lab". Tom and Jen are curious. They open the box and see many things inside. They see bottles, tubes, wires, and lights. They see a button that says "on".
+
+Tom and Jen want to see what happens when they press the button. They press it and hear a beep. Then, they see a green smoke come out of the box. The smoke smells bad and makes them cough. The smoke spreads in the air and covers the park. Tom and Jen are scared. They think the smoke is weird and dangerous. They run away from the box and the park.
+
+Tom and Jen go to their homes and tell their moms what happened. Their moms are worried and call the police. The police come to the park and see the box and the smoke. They wear masks and gloves and take the box away. They say the box is from a bad man who wanted to make trouble. They say the smoke is not good for people and animals. They say Tom and Jen are brave and smart for telling them.
+
+Tom and Jen are happy that the police take the box away. They hope the smoke will go away soon. They hug their moms and say they are sorry for playing with the box.

They give them cookies and milk and read them a story. Tom and Jen smile and say they are still friends. They say they will play together again tomorrow.
+Lily liked to write in her diary every day. She had a pink diary with a lock and a key. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams and her feelings. She did not let anyone read her diary. It was her secret.
+
+One day, her brother Max saw her diary on her bed. He was curious. He wanted to know what Lily wrote. He took the diary and tried to open it. But it was locked. He looked for the key. He found it under Lily's pillow. He smiled and opened the diary.
+
+He started to read the diary out loud. He read about Lily's crush on Ben, her fear of spiders, her wish to have a pony and her anger at Max. He laughed and made fun of Lily. He said, "Lily likes Ben, Lily likes Ben, Lily is scared of spiders, Lily wants a pony, Lily is mad at me!"
+
+Lily heard Max's loud voice from the living room. She ran to her bedroom and saw Max with her diary. She was very upset. She shouted, "Max, give me back my diary! That is not nice! That is not fair! You are not allowed to read my diary!"
+
+Max saw Lily and tried to hide the diary behind his back. He said, "Sorry, Lily, I was just joking. I did not mean to hurt you. Please don't tell mom and dad."
+
+Lily snatched the diary from Max's hand. She locked it and put it in her drawer. She said, "Max, you are very mean. You broke my trust. You should not read other people's diaries. They are private. How would you feel if I read your diary?"
+
+Max looked down and felt sorry. He said, "I don't have a diary. But I understand. I would feel bad if you read my diary. I apologize, Lily. I won't do it again. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily looked at Max and saw that he was sincere. She said, "OK, Max, I forgive you. But you have to promise me that you will never touch my diary again. And you have to be nice to me and Ben."
+
+Max nodded and said, "I promise, Lily. I will never touch your diary again. And I will be nice to you and Ben. Can we hug and make up?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Max, we can hug and make up. You are still my brother and I love you."
+
+They hugged and said sorry to each other. They decided to play together and share their toys. They were happy and forgot about the diary.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big maze made of hedges. They wanted to try it and see who could get to the end first.
+
+"Let's run and find the way out!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't get lost!" Lily said.
+
+They ran into the maze, but soon they got separated. Tom went left and Lily went right. They looked for signs and clues, but they only found more paths and turns. They started to feel scared and alone.
+
+"Tom, where are you?" Lily shouted.
+
+"Lily, I can't hear you!" Tom shouted back.
+
+They wished they had stayed together. They wished they had not run so fast. They wished they had listened to the man who gave them a map at the entrance.
+
+After a long time, they finally found the exit. They saw each other and hugged. They were happy to be out of the maze, but they were also ashamed. They had been foolish and reckless. They had not been good friends.
+
+They said sorry to each other and to the man who gave them the map. They learned their lesson. They decided to play something else, something safer and nicer. They decided to always stick together and help each other. They decided to never run into a maze again.
+Lily and Ben love to play with clay. They like to make different shapes and animals with their hands. Clay has a soft and smooth texture. It is flexible and can bend and stretch.
+
+One day, they decided to make a big snake with their clay. They rolled and twisted the clay until it was long and thin. They gave the snake eyes, a tongue and scales. They were very proud of their snake.
+
+"Look at our snake!" Lily said to Ben. "It is so big and scary!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben agreed. "But it is also friendly. We can make it smile and hug us."
+
+They bent the snake's head and tail and wrapped it around their necks. They giggled and hugged the snake.
+
+"Hello, snake!" Lily said. "We are your friends. We love you!"
+
+The snake did not say anything, but it felt warm and cozy. It loved Lily and Ben too. They played with the snake until it was time to go home. They put the snake in a box and promised to play with it again. The snake was happy and waited for them.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and dolls and cars. One day, they had a contest. Who could build the highest tower with blocks? They each had a pile of blocks and started to stack them.
+
+Lily was very careful. She put the big blocks at the bottom and the small blocks at the top. She made sure her tower was balanced and strong. Ben was very fast. He put the blocks on top of each other without looking. He wanted to win the contest.
+
+Soon, Ben's tower was taller than Lily's. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, I win! My tower is the best! Your tower is too small and weak!" Lily felt sad and ashamed. She wished her tower was taller and better.
+
+But then, something happened. Ben's tower was too heavy and wobbly. It fell down with a loud crash. The blocks scattered everywhere. Ben was shocked and scared. He cried and said, "Oh no, my tower is gone! It was too heavy and bad!"
+
+Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Don't cry, Ben. It's okay. We can build a new tower together. We can use both our blocks and make it better. We can share and help each other. That is more fun and more success."
+
+Ben stopped crying and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are right. Sharing and helping is more fun and more success. I'm sorry I was mean to you. Can we still be friends?" Lily nodded and hugged him. They started to build a new tower together. They were happy and proud. They learned a lesson. They learned that being kind and fair is more important than being tall and heavy.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have brown hair and brown eyes. They have bikes. They like to race on their bikes.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big hill. They want to race down the hill on their bikes. They ask their moms if they can.
+
+"Can we race down the hill, mom?" Ben asks.
+
+"Can we, can we?" Sam echoes.
+
+Their moms look at the hill. They think it is too steep and too fast. They shake their heads.
+
+"No, you can't race down the hill, boys. It is not safe. You might fall and hurt your heads. You can race on the flat path instead." Ben's mom says.
+
+"Yes, the flat path is better. You can still have fun and be careful." Sam's mom agrees.
+
+Ben and Sam are sad. They want to race down the hill. They think it is more fun and more exciting. They look at each other. They have an idea.
+
+They pretend to agree with their moms. They say they will race on the flat path. They smile and nod. They get on their bikes. They pedal away.
+
+But they do not go to the flat path. They go to the hill. They think their moms will not see them. They think they are smart and brave.
+
+They get to the top of the hill. They look down. They see the road and the cars and the trees. They feel the wind and the sun. They are ready to race.
+
+"Are you ready, Sam?" Ben asks.
+
+"Ready, Ben!" Sam answers.
+
+They count to three. They push their bikes. They race down the hill.
+
+They go very fast. They feel the air and the speed. They laugh and shout. They think they are having fun.
+
+But they are not careful. They do not see the curve and the rock and the hole. They lose their balance. They crash.
+
+They fall off their bikes. They roll on the ground. They scrape their knees and elbows. They bump their heads. They cry and scream.
+
+Their moms hear them. They run to them. They see them on the ground. They are scared and angry.
+
+"What did you do, boys? Why did you race down the hill? We told you not to. You could have been hurt very badly. You are lucky you only have some cuts and bruises. You are very naughty and foolish." Ben's mom scolds.
+
+"Yes, you are. You did not listen to us. You did not think of the danger. You did not care about the rules. You are very sorry and ashamed." Sam's mom adds.
+
+Ben and Sam are sorry and ashamed. They know they did wrong. They know they were not smart and brave. They know they were naughty and foolish. They hug their moms. They say they are sorry. They say they will not do it again.
+
+Their moms hug them back. They say they are glad they are okay. They say they love them. They say they will forgive them. But they also say they will punish them.
+
+They take them home. They clean their wounds. They put bandages on them. They give them some juice and cookies. They make them rest.
+
+They also take away their bikes. They say they cannot play with them for a week. They say they have to learn their lesson. They say they have to be more careful and more obedient.
+
+Ben and Sam are sad. They miss their bikes. They miss their fun. They miss their race. But they also know their moms are right. They know they have to be more careful and more obedient. They know they have to wait for a week.
+
+They look at each other. They see their bandages and their bruises. They see their brown hair and their brown eyes. They are still friends. They smile and nod. They have a new idea.
+
+They will race again. But not on the hill. On the flat path. With their moms. When they get their bikes back. In a week. They think it will be fun and safe. They think they will be smart and brave. They think they will be happy.
+Sam and Tom were brothers who liked to play in the garden. They had a big toy car that they could crawl inside and pretend to drive. But they also liked to fight over who could use the car first.
+
+One day, they were both crawling to the car when they bumped into each other. "It's my turn!" Sam shouted. "No, it's mine!" Tom yelled. They started to push and pull and hit each other. They did not hear their mom calling them from the house.
+
+Mom was deaf, so she could not hear their voices. But she could see their fight from the window. She was very angry and sad. She walked to the garden and took the car away from them. "No more car for you!" she said. "You are bad boys who do not share and do not listen. Go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Sam and Tom felt sorry for making mom mad. They realized that they had been selfish and mean. They hugged mom and said they were sorry. They also hugged each other and said they were sorry. They learned that fighting is not fun and that they should love and respect each other and mom. They promised to be good boys and to share and listen from now on. Mom smiled and gave them back the car. She was happy to see them play nicely together.
+Tom loved ponies. He wanted to have a pony of his own. He saw a blue pony in a farm near his house. He thought the blue pony was very pretty and fast. He wanted to ride the blue pony.
+
+One day, he sneaked out of his house and went to the farm. He saw the blue pony in a field. He climbed over the fence and ran to the blue pony. He tried to get on the pony's back. But the blue pony did not like Tom. The blue pony was scared and angry. The blue pony kicked Tom off and ran away.
+
+Tom was hurt and sad. He cried and cried. The farmer heard Tom's cries and came to see what was wrong. He saw Tom on the ground and the blue pony running away. He was mad at Tom. He said, "You should not run to a pony you do not know. You should ask first. You scared the pony and hurt yourself. That is not nice. That is wrong."
+
+Tom felt sorry. He said, "I am sorry, farmer. I just wanted to ride the blue pony. I love ponies. But I did not ask. I did not think. I was wrong. Please forgive me."
+
+The farmer felt sorry for Tom. He said, "I forgive you, Tom. But you have to learn to respect animals. They have feelings too. They need care and love. If you want to ride a pony, you have to be gentle and patient. You have to earn their trust. Maybe one day, I can let you ride the blue pony. But only if you promise to be good and careful."
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "I promise, farmer. I will be good and careful. I will respect animals. Thank you for forgiving me. And thank you for teaching me."
+
+The farmer smiled. He said, "You are welcome, Tom. Now, let's go back to your house. And let's hope the blue pony is not too scared."
+
+Tom and the farmer walked back to Tom's house. Tom learned a lesson that day. He learned to be respectful, gentle and patient with animals. He hoped the blue pony would be his friend one day. He still loved ponies. But he loved them the right way.
+Tom and Ann like to play with their toy boat. They have a big tub of water in the garden. They put the boat in the water and make it sail. They blow on the sail to make it go fast or slow.
+
+One day, the sun is very bright and hot. It shines on the water and makes it sparkle. Tom and Ann think it is pretty. They want to see the sun shine on their boat too. They move the tub to a sunny spot and watch the boat sail.
+
+But the sun is too hot for the boat. The sail starts to melt and the boat starts to sink. Tom and Ann are sad. They try to save their boat, but it is too late. The boat is gone.
+
+They go inside and tell their mom what happened. Mom is sorry for them. She hugs them and gives them a snack. She says she will buy them a new boat, one that does not melt in the sun. Tom and Ann are happy. They say thank you to mom and wait for their new boat.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys. Anna liked the doll with the pink dress. Ben liked the car with the blue wheels. They were having fun.
+
+But then, Anna saw something shiny in the box. It was a necklace with a sun pendant. It was very pretty. Anna wanted to have it. She looked at Ben. He was busy with his car. Anna took the necklace and put it in her pocket. She felt guilty.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing?" Ben asked. He saw Anna hiding something.
+
+"Nothing, nothing," Anna said. She tried to smile.
+
+"Let me see," Ben said. He walked to Anna and reached for her pocket.
+
+"No, no, don't!" Anna said. She pushed Ben away.
+
+Ben fell on the grass. He started to cry. Anna felt more guilty.
+
+"Anna, why did you push me?" Ben asked. He had a scratch on his knee.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry," Anna said. She opened her pocket and showed Ben the necklace. "I took this from the box. I wanted to have it. It's so pretty. But it's not mine. It's wrong. I'm sorry."
+
+Ben looked at the necklace. He looked at Anna. He stopped crying.
+
+"It's okay, Anna," Ben said. "You can have it. It's a gift. I don't like necklaces. I like cars. But you have to be nice. Don't push me. Don't lie. Be my friend."
+
+Anna hugged Ben. She felt happy.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," Anna said. "You are very kind. I'm sorry I was bad. I will be nice. I will be your friend. And I will share my doll with you."
+
+Ben smiled. He hugged Anna back. He felt happy.
+
+They played together again. They shared their toys. They forgot about the necklace. They looked at the sun. It was shining.
+Lily liked to wander in the big park with her mom. She saw many things: flowers, birds, dogs, and people. She also had her doll with her. Her doll was her best friend. She called her doll Anna.
+
+One day, Lily saw something new in the park. It was a big box with a sign. The sign said: "Free books. Take one." Lily loved books. She wanted to see what was inside the box. She asked her mom: "Can I look, mom?"
+
+Mom said: "Yes, you can look, but be careful. Don't take anything that is not a book." Mom stayed on the bench and watched Lily.
+
+Lily went to the box and peeked inside. She saw many books. Some were big, some were small, some had pictures, some had words. She picked one that had a picture of a princess on the cover. She liked princesses. She opened the book and saw more pictures. She smiled.
+
+But then, she saw something else in the box. It was a doll. But not like her doll. It was a very old doll. It had a long dress, a hat, and a veil. It had glass eyes and a porcelain face. It looked very mysterious. Lily felt curious. She reached for the doll.
+
+But as soon as she touched the doll, the doll moved. It blinked its eyes and opened its mouth. It said: "Hello, little girl. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped the book and the doll. She ran back to her mom. She hugged her mom and said: "Mom, mom, there is a scary doll in the box. It talked to me. It wanted to play with me."
+
+Mom was surprised. She said: "A scary doll? Are you sure, Lily? Maybe it was just a toy that makes sounds. Let's go and see."
+
+Mom and Lily went back to the box. But the box was empty. There were no books and no doll. There was only a sign that said: "Thank you for the books. And the doll."
+
+Lily and mom looked at each other. They felt confused. They wondered who took the books and the doll. And why the doll was so mysterious. They decided to leave the park and go home. Lily held her doll tight. She was glad her doll was not scary. She said: "I love you, Anna. You are my best friend."
+Benny is a big dog who likes to play in the park. He runs and jumps and chases the ball. He has a lot of fun with his friends. But sometimes, he gets itchy. He scratches and bites his fur. He has fleas.
+
+One day, his owner, Anna, takes him to the vet. The vet is a nice lady who helps animals. She looks at Benny and says, "Oh, you have fleas, Benny. They make you itch and feel bad. We need to give you a bath and some medicine to get rid of them."
+
+Benny does not like baths. He does not like water. He does not like soap. He does not like medicine. He shakes his head and tries to hide behind Anna. He looks guilty. He knows he has to take the bath, but he does not want to.
+
+Anna sees his face and says, "It's okay, Benny. I know you don't like baths, but they will help you feel better. The fleas will go away and you will be happy again. I will stay with you and show you how to be brave. I love you, Benny."
+
+Benny loves Anna too. He trusts her. He lets her show him how to get in the tub. He lets the vet wash him and spray him and comb him. He does not like it, but he does not cry or run away. He is brave. He feels the fleas leaving his fur. He feels cleaner and lighter and fresher.
+
+When the bath is over, he jumps out and shakes himself. He wags his tail and licks Anna's face. He thanks her and the vet. He feels good. He does not itch anymore. He is ready to play in the park again. He is a happy dog.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their fish. They have a big tank with many fish. Some fish are red, some are blue, some are yellow.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben see a new fish in the tank. It is big and gray. It has sharp teeth. It looks mean. It swims fast and chases the other fish.
+
+"Look, Ben, a new fish!" Lily says.
+
+"I don't like it, Lily. It is scary. It hurts the other fish." Ben says.
+
+They watch the new fish bite the red fish and the blue fish and the yellow fish. The fish are scared and hide behind the plants and the rocks.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They want to help their fish. They have an idea.
+
+They find an old box in the garage. They cut a hole in the side. They fill it with water. They use a net to catch the new fish. They put the new fish in the box.
+
+They separate the new fish from the other fish. The new fish is alone in the box. It cannot bite the other fish anymore.
+
+The other fish are happy and safe in the tank. They swim and play and eat.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy too. They hug each other.
+
+"We did it, Lily. We saved our fish." Ben says.
+

+Tom and Mia are playing in the park with their ball. They like to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They are having fun and laughing.
+
+But then the sky gets dark and the wind gets strong. They hear a loud noise. It is thunder. They see a bright light. It is lightning. They are scared and anxious. They want to go home.
+
+"Tom, we need to get shelter!" Mia says. "Where can we go?"
+
+Tom looks around and sees a big tree. He thinks it is a good place to hide from the storm. He grabs Mia's hand and runs to the tree.
+
+"Here, we can stay under the tree until the storm is over," he says.
+
+But the tree is not a good shelter. The wind shakes the branches and the rain falls on them. They are wet and cold. They hear another loud noise. It is a branch breaking. It falls near them. They are more scared and anxious.
+
+"Tom, this is not a good shelter!" Mia says. "We need to find another place!"
+
+Tom agrees. He looks around again and sees a small house. It is the park ranger's house. He thinks it is a better place to hide from the storm. He grabs Mia's hand again and runs to the house.
+
+"Here, we can knock on the door and ask for help," he says.
+
+They knock on the door and a friendly man opens it. He is the park ranger. He sees Tom and Mia and smiles.
+
+"Hello, kids. What are you doing here in the storm?" he asks.
+
+"Please, can we get shelter in your house?" Tom asks. "We are scared and anxious."
+
+"Of course, you can. Come in, come in. You are safe here," the park ranger says.
+
+He lets Tom and Mia in and gives them towels and blankets. He makes them hot chocolate and cookies. He tells them stories and jokes. They are warm and cozy. They are not scared and anxious anymore. They are happy and grateful. They wait for the storm to pass and for their parents to come. They have found a good shelter and a good friend.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make it their house.
+
+"Let's pretend we are married," Lily said. "You can be the daddy and I can be the mommy."
+
+"OK," Max said. "But I want to be the boss. You have to do what I say."
+
+Lily did not like that. She was stubborn. She wanted to be the boss too. She said, "No, I want to be the boss. You have to do what I say."
+
+They started to argue. They did not want to share the box. They pushed and pulled and shouted.
+
+Suddenly, they smelled something bad. They saw smoke coming from the corner of the box. There was a flame. Someone had left a candle there and it had burned the box.
+
+"Fire! Fire!" Lily and Max screamed. They ran out of the box and looked for help.
+
+Mommy and Daddy heard them and came quickly. They saw the flame and used water to put it out. They were angry and scared.
+
+"What were you doing in the garage?" Mommy asked. "You know you are not allowed to play there. It is dangerous."
+
+"We were playing house," Lily said. "We were pretending to be married."
+
+"But we had a fight," Max said. "We both wanted to be the boss."
+
+Mommy and Daddy looked at each other and sighed. They said, "Being married is not about being the boss. It is about being a team. You have to work together and share and listen and love."
+
+Lily and Max felt sorry. They hugged each other and said, "We are sorry. We want to be a team. We want to be friends."
+
+Mommy and Daddy smiled and hugged them too. They said, "We are glad you are safe. We love you. But no more playing in the garage, OK?"
+
+"OK," Lily and Max said. They learned their lesson. They went to play in the garden instead. They still pretended to be married, but they were nicer to each other. They had fun.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. One day, they see a big sausage on the table. It smells good.
+
+"Can we eat it?" Anna asks.
+
+"No, it is for dinner," Mom says. "You can have some later."
+
+But Anna and Ben are hungry and curious. They want to test the sausage. They are adventurous.
+
+When Mom goes to the bathroom, they sneak to the table. They grab the sausage and run to their room. They close the door and laugh.
+
+"Let's test it!" Ben says. He bites a piece of the sausage. It is juicy and spicy.
+
+"Mmm, it is yummy!" he says.
+
+Anna takes a bite too. She likes it. They eat more and more of the sausage. They are happy.
+
+But then, they hear Mom coming back. She opens the door and sees them. She is angry.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What have you done?" she says. "You ate the whole sausage! That was for dinner!"
+
+Anna and Ben feel bad. They are sorry.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," they say. "We wanted to test the sausage. It was good."
+
+Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she loves them.
+
+"I know you are adventurous, but you have to listen to me," she says. "You can't eat things that are not for you. You have to wait and share."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They hug Mom and say sorry again.
+
+Mom hugs them back. She smiles a little.
+
+"Maybe next time, I will make two sausages," she says. "One for you and one for dinner."
+Anna likes to print pictures with her crayons. She prints flowers, animals, and stars on big papers. She gives some of her pictures to her friends and family. She is very proud of her prints.
+
+One day, Anna wants to print something new. She looks around the kitchen for ideas. She sees a red radish on the table. She thinks it is a pretty color. She asks her mom, "Can I print with this radish?"
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "Sure, you can. But you have to cut it first. Do you want me to help you?"
+
+Anna nods and says, "Yes, please. Thank you, mom." Her mom cuts the radish in half and gives one half to Anna. She shows her how to dip the radish in some paint and press it on a paper. Anna tries it and sees a round shape with lines on her paper. She likes it. She prints more radishes in different colors. She makes a pattern with them.
+
+She shows her mom her radish print. Her mom says, "Wow, that is very beautiful, Anna. You are very creative. Do you want to eat the other half of the radish?"
+
+Anna says, "No, thank you, mom. I don't like radishes. Can I print with something else?"
+
+Her mom says, "Sure, you can. Let's see what else is available in the kitchen. How about a carrot, a potato, or a lemon?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, yes, yes. I want to print with all of them. Let's go, mom. I want to make more prints."
+Tom loves to skip. He skips to school, he skips to the park, he skips to his friend's house. He likes to skip because it makes him happy and fast.
+
+One day, Tom's mom takes him to a lab. A lab is a place where people do experiments. Tom's mom works in the lab. She wants to show Tom what she does.
+
+Tom is very enthusiastic. He wants to see everything in the lab. He sees machines, tubes, bottles, and animals. He sees a big dog in a cage. The dog is brown and fluffy. The dog barks at Tom.
+
+"Hi, dog!" Tom says. He skips to the cage. He wants to pet the dog.
+
+"Wait, Tom!" his mom says. "You can't touch the dog. The dog is part of an experiment. The dog is not friendly. The dog might bite you."
+
+Tom stops. He feels sad. He likes dogs. He wants to play with the dog.
+
+"Can we go to another lab?" Tom asks. "A lab with nice dogs?"
+
+His mom smiles. She hugs Tom. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. This is the only lab I work in. But maybe we can go to the pet store later. There you can see many nice dogs. And maybe we can buy you a toy dog. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom smiles. He likes the idea. He says, "That sounds great, mom. Thank you. Can we skip to the pet store?"
+
+His mom laughs. She says, "Yes, we can skip to the pet store. But first, let's finish our visit here. Maybe you can see some other interesting things in the lab."
+
+Tom nods. He holds his mom's hand. He is still enthusiastic. He wants to learn more about the lab. But he also looks forward to seeing the nice dogs at the pet store. And maybe getting a toy dog of his own.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big train. It is loud and fast. It goes on the rail.
+
+"Wow, look at the train!" Ben says. "It is so big and strong. I want to study it. Maybe I can be a train driver when I grow up."
+
+Anna shakes her head. "No, Ben, you cannot study the train. It is dangerous. The rail is not for us. It is for the train. If you go near the rail, the train can hurt you. You have to stay away from the rail."
+
+Ben does not listen. He wants to see the train better. He runs to the rail. He does not see the sign that says "Stop". He does not hear Anna yell "Ben, come back!"
+
+The train is coming. It is very close. It honks its horn. Ben is scared. He tries to run back, but he trips and falls. He is on the rail.
+
+Anna screams. She runs to Ben. She grabs his hand. She pulls him off the rail. They fall on the grass. They are safe.
+
+The train passes by. It is very loud. It makes the ground shake.
+
+Anna and Ben hug each other. They are happy. They are alive.
+
+They look at the train. It is far away now. It is still big and strong. But it is not fun. It is scary.
+
+They do not want to study the train anymore. They want to go home. They hold hands and walk away from the rail. They say "Sorry" to the sign. They say "Thank you" to the grass. They say "We love you" to each other.
+Mia loved to stretch her arms and legs every morning. She felt happy and strong when she did that. She also liked to look out of her window and see the fairy garden. The fairy garden was a special place where tiny fairies lived. They had flowers, mushrooms, and a pond. Mia wished she could play with them.
+
+One day, she saw a fairy flying near her window. She waved and smiled. The fairy smiled back and flew closer. She had pink hair and a blue dress. She said, "Hello, I'm Fia. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Mia nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I'm Mia. Can I come to the fairy garden?"
+
+Fia said, "Sure, you can. But you have to be very careful. You have to be small like me. And you have to be quiet and kind. The fairy garden is a secret place. Do you promise?"
+
+Mia promised and Fia gave her a magic dust. She said, "Sprinkle this on yourself and you will shrink. Then you can fly with me. But remember, you have to come back before the sun sets. Or you will stay small forever."
+
+Mia sprinkled the dust and felt herself shrinking. She was amazed and excited. She saw Fia waiting for her. She said, "Let's go!" and they flew away.
+
+They had a lot of fun in the fairy garden. They played with the other fairies, the butterflies, and the frogs. They danced on the petals, slid on the leaves, and swam in the pond. Mia felt very happy. She forgot about the time.
+
+She also forgot about her mom. Her mom was looking for her. She was worried and scared. She called her name and searched the house. She did not see her anywhere. She did not see the fairy dust or the fairy window. She did not know what happened to her.
+
+The sun was setting and the sky was turning red. Fia said, "Mia, we have to go back. It's getting dark. You have to be big again."
+
+Mia said, "But I don't want to go back. I want to stay here. I love the fairy garden. I love you."
+
+Fia said, "But you can't stay here. You have a mom who loves you. She will miss you. She will be sad. You have to go back. You promised."
+
+Mia said, "No, I don't. You are not my friend. You are mean. You lied to me. You tricked me. You are not dependable."
+
+Fia said, "No, I didn't. I told you the truth. I tried to help you. I am dependable. You are not. You broke your promise. You are selfish. You are bad."
+
+They started to fight. They pulled each other's hair and wings. They scratched each other's faces and dresses. They shouted and cried. They did not see the big owl that was watching them. The owl was hungry and angry. It saw two small and noisy snacks. It swooped down and grabbed them with its claws. It flew away and ate them. They were gone. The fairy garden was quiet and sad. The end.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make a ship out of the box. They cut out windows and a door and painted the box blue and red.
+
+Lily wanted to be the captain of the ship. She put on a hat and a coat and said, "I am the boss of the ship. I tell you what to do." Max did not like that. He wanted to be the captain too. He said, "No, I am the boss of the ship. You listen to me." They began to disagree. They shouted and pushed each other.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the garage. She saw the ship and the angry kids. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting?" Lily and Max told her their problem. Mom said, "You both worked hard to make this ship. It is a nice ship. But you cannot have fun if you disagree all the time. You need to share and take turns. How about you take turns being the captain? Lily can be the captain for ten minutes, then Max can be the captain for ten minutes. And you can also be the crew and help each other. That way, you can both enjoy the ship."
+
+Lily and Max thought about it. They realized that Mom was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They agreed to share and take turns. They put on their hats and coats and climbed into the ship. They pretended to sail on the sea and have adventures. They had a lot of fun. They also found some cookies and juice in the kitchen. They brought them to the ship and had a sweet snack. They thanked Mom for the cookies and juice and for helping them. Mom smiled and said, "You are welcome. I am glad you are happy and playing nicely. You are good friends and good sailors."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. There are many flowers and bugs and birds in the garden. Lily and Ben like to look at them and learn their names.
+
+One day, they see a big fence at the end of the garden. They have never seen it before. They wonder what is behind it. They run to the fence and try to peek over it. But they are too small. They cannot see anything.
+
+"Maybe we can touch it and find out," Lily says. She reaches out her hand and touches the fence. It is cold and hard and rough. She does not like it. She pulls back her hand and makes a face.
+
+"Ouch! That hurts!" she says. "Don't touch it, Ben. It is not nice."
+
+Ben is curious. He wants to touch it too. He thinks maybe Lily is wrong. He does not listen to her. He touches the fence with his finger. He feels a sharp pain. He cries out loud.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" he says. "Lily, you are right. It is not nice. It is bad. It is a bad fence."
+
+Lily and Ben run away from the fence. They are scared and sad. They hug each other and say sorry. They go back to the house and find their mom. She sees their fingers and puts some cream on them. She kisses them and tells them they are brave.
+
+"Mom, what is that fence?" Lily asks. "Why is it there? Why does it hurt?"
+
+"That fence is an electric fence," mom says. "It is there to keep the cows in the field. It hurts because it has electricity in it. Electricity is very powerful. It can light up the house, but it can also hurt you. You should never touch it. It is dangerous."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They are sorry they touched the fence. They promise they will never do it again. They are sleepy now. They cuddle with mom and fall asleep. They dream of the flowers and bugs and birds in the garden. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben like to play soccer in the park. They have a small ball and two goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. They count how many times they score and cheer for each other.
+
+One day, they meet Lily and Tom, who also like to play soccer. They decide to play together and make two teams. Anna and Ben are on one team, and Lily and Tom are on the other team. They agree to play for ten minutes and see who has the most score.
+
+The game is fun and exciting. Anna and Ben score two times, but Lily and Tom score three times. They are very good at passing the ball and finding spaces. Anna and Ben try to catch up, but they run out of time. The game is over and Lily and Tom win.
+
+"Good game, Lily and Tom!" Anna and Ben say. "You are great players!"
+
+"Thank you, Anna and Ben!" Lily and Tom say. "You are great players too!"
+
+They shake hands and smile. They are happy and proud of their score. They discuss how they can play better next time and what they learned from each other. They agree to play again soon and have more fun. They are friends now and they love soccer.
+Sam and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Sam and Tom want to feed the ducks and fish. They have some bread in their bags.
+
+They go near the pond and throw some bread. The ducks and fish come and eat the bread. Sam and Tom are happy. They wave to the ducks and fish. They say hello and thank you.
+
+But then Sam has an urge. He wants to touch the ducks and fish. He thinks they are soft and nice. He does not listen to Tom, who says no. Tom says it is not safe. Tom says they can fall in the pond.
+
+Sam does not care. He goes closer and closer to the pond. He leans over the edge. He tries to reach a duck. But the duck is scared. The duck moves away. Sam loses his balance. He falls in the pond.
+
+Tom screams. He runs to get help. He sees a man and a woman. They are Sam's mom and dad. They are looking for Sam. They hear Tom scream. They run to the pond.
+
+But it is too late. Sam is not healthy. Sam is not breathing. Sam is not moving. Sam is gone. The ducks and fish are gone too. The pond is quiet. Sam's mom and dad are sad. Tom is sad. They all cry. They all wish Sam had listened to Tom. They all wish Sam had not had the urge. They all wish Sam had not waved to the ducks and fish.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with many branches and leaves. Sometimes they climbed the tree and pretended to be birds or monkeys. They were very intelligent and careful, but they also liked to have fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big nest on a high branch. They wondered what was inside. Maybe eggs, or baby birds, or a squirrel. They wanted to see, so they decided to climb the tree and grab the nest. They took turns to go up, holding each other's hand.
+
+"Be careful, Ben," Anna said. "The branch is thin and may crack."
+
+"Don't worry, Anna," Ben said. "I'm almost there. I can see the nest. It's brown and soft."
+
+He reached the nest and grabbed it with both hands. He felt something move inside. He was curious and excited. He pulled the nest closer to his face and looked inside.
+
+"Wow, Anna, look!" he shouted. "There are three eggs! They are blue and speckled. They are so pretty!"
+
+He showed the nest to Anna, who was below him. She gasped and smiled. She wanted to touch the eggs too. She climbed up a little more and reached for the nest.
+
+But then, something happened. They heard a loud and angry squawk. They looked up and saw a big bird flying towards them. It was the mother of the eggs. She was not happy to see them. She had sharp claws and a long beak. She wanted to protect her eggs.
+
+She dived at Ben and Anna, who were scared and surprised. They dropped the nest and the eggs. They heard a loud crack as the eggs broke on the ground. They felt sad and sorry. They also felt a sharp pain as the bird scratched their faces and arms. They screamed and cried. They let go of the branch and fell to the ground.
+
+They ran to their house, where their mom was waiting. She saw their wounds and their tears. She hugged them and cleaned their cuts. She gave them a band-aid and a kiss. She asked them what happened.
+
+"We climbed the tree and grabbed the nest," Ben said. "We wanted to see the eggs, but the bird came and attacked us. We broke the eggs and hurt ourselves. We're sorry, mom."
+
+Mom sighed and shook her head. She was not angry, but she was disappointed. She loved her twins, but she wished they were more respectful of nature.
+
+"Listen, Ben and Anna," she said. "You are very intelligent, but you are also very naughty. You should not grab things that are not yours. You should not disturb the animals and their homes. You should be kind and gentle to all living things. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Anna nodded. They felt ashamed and guilty. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to mom and to the bird. They promised to never do it again. They hugged mom and each other. They hoped the bird would forgive them too.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with a long tail and a red collar. The dog looked friendly and harmless. Anna wanted to pet the dog, but Ben was afraid.
+
+"Can I touch the dog?" Anna asked Ben.
+
+"No, the dog might bite you!" Ben said.
+
+"But the dog is not angry. He is wagging his tail. He likes us," Anna said.
+
+Anna walked slowly to the dog. The dog sniffed her hand and licked it. Anna smiled and stroked the dog's fur. The dog barked happily.
+
+"See, the dog is nice. He is not scary," Anna said.
+
+Ben watched from a distance. He felt cold and lonely. He wished he was brave like Anna. He wanted to be friends with the dog too.
+
+The dog noticed Ben and ran to him. He offered him his paw and tilted his head. He wanted to play with Ben.
+
+Ben was nervous. He did not know what to do. He looked at Anna. Anna nodded and smiled.
+
+"Go on, Ben. The dog is harmless. He just wants to have fun," Anna said.
+
+Ben took a deep breath and reached out his hand. He touched the dog's paw and felt its warmth. The dog wagged his tail and licked Ben's face. Ben laughed and hugged the dog.
+
+"Wow, the dog is so soft and kind. I like him," Ben said.
+
+Anna and Ben played with the dog for a long time. They threw a ball and ran with him. They had a lot of fun.
+
+The dog's owner came and thanked Anna and Ben for being nice to his dog. He said his dog's name was Max and he was very friendly. He invited them to visit Max again.
+
+Anna and Ben said goodbye to Max and his owner. They walked back to their parents, who were waiting for them.
+
+"Did you have fun?" their parents asked.
+
+"Yes, we did. We made a new friend. His name is Max and he is a dog," Anna and Ben said.
+
+They told their parents about their adventure. Their parents were proud of them.
+
+They learned that sometimes things that look scary are not. They learned that being brave and kind can lead to new friendships. They learned that dogs are not cold, but warm and harmless.
+Ben and Lily were playing by the pond. They liked to watch the fish and the ducks swim in the water. They also liked to throw stones and sticks into the pond and see the ripples.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a big branch!" Ben said, holding a long and thick stick. "I can use it as a boat!"
+
+He put the branch in the water and tried to push it with his hands. But the branch was too heavy and it sank.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, your boat is gone!" Lily said, feeling sorry for her brother.
+
+Ben was sad. He wanted to get his branch back. He took off his shoes and socks and rolled up his pants. He stepped into the pond and felt the cold water on his feet.
+
+"I can swim and get it!" he said, bravely.
+
+But Ben was not a good swimmer. He was clumsy and he splashed a lot. He could not reach the branch. He only got wet and muddy.
+
+"Ben, come back, it's too deep!" Lily shouted, worried.
+
+She ran to the edge of the pond and reached out her hand. Ben saw her and grabbed her hand. She pulled him out of the water and hugged him.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked, softly.
+
+"I'm okay, Lily, thank you," he said, shivering.
+
+They walked back to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw them and smiled.
+
+"What happened, my darlings?" she asked, kindly.
+
+"We were playing with a branch, but it sank and Ben tried to swim and get it, but he couldn't and he got wet and Lily helped him and we're sorry, mom," they said, quickly.
+
+Mom laughed and wrapped them in a towel.
+
+"It's okay, my darlings, I'm glad you're safe and you helped each other. But next time, be careful and don't go into the pond without me, okay?" she said, gently.
+
+"Okay, mom," they said, nodding.
+
+They snuggled with mom and watched the fish and the ducks swim in the water. They forgot about the branch. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy castle in the garden. They liked to pretend they were a king and a queen who ruled over a big land. They had many toy knights and horses and dragons to protect their castle.
+
+One day, a new boy moved in next door. His name was Sam and he had a big truck. He saw Ben and Lily playing with their castle and he wanted to join them. He asked them, "Can I play with you?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not know Sam and they did not want to share their castle. They said, "No, this is our castle. You can't play with us."
+
+Sam felt sad and angry. He said, "That's not fair. You have to share. If you don't, I will take your castle with my truck."
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want to lose their castle. They said, "Please don't do that. That's not nice."
+
+Sam did not listen. He drove his truck towards the castle and tried to knock it down. Ben and Lily shouted, "Stop! Stop!"
+
+But Sam did not stop. He kept pushing the castle with his truck. The castle started to fall apart. Ben and Lily cried, "No! No!"
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was their mom. She came out of the house and saw what was happening. She said, "Sam, what are you doing? That's not how you play. You have to be gentle and kind. You have to ask before you touch other people's things. You have to yield if they say no. You have to be generous and share if they say yes. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam stopped his truck. He looked at the broken castle and the sad faces of Ben and Lily. He felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should have asked. I should have yielded. I should have been generous. Can I help you fix your castle?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at their mom. She nodded. They looked at Sam. They saw that he was sorry. They said, "Okay. You can help us. You can play with us. But you have to be nice."
+
+Sam smiled. He said, "Thank you. I will be nice. I'm sorry I was not nice before."
+
+They all worked together to fix the castle. They used glue and tape and stickers. They made the castle even better than before. They played with their toy knights and horses and dragons. They had fun. They became friends.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They were having fun, but they were also hungry. They wanted a snack.
+
+"Mom, can we have a snack?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. I have some crackers and cheese in the bag. Come here and sit on the bench," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily ran to the bench. Mom gave them each a cracker and a piece of cheese. They held the snack in their hands and took a bite.
+
+"Mmm, this is good," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is. But it is also cold. Brrr!" Ben said.
+
+"It is cold. I need a jacket," Lily said.
+
+"Me too. And a hat. And gloves," Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She took out their jackets, hats and gloves from the bag. She helped them put them on.
+
+"There, now you are warm and cozy," Mom said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. You are the best," Ben and Lily said.
+
+They finished their snack and gave Mom a kiss. Then they went back to play in the park. They were happy and full.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the sand. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They had a big bucket of water to fill their holes and make the sand wet.
+
+"Look, I made an oasis!" Ben said, pointing to a hole with water and some leaves. "It is a place where animals can drink and rest in the desert."
+
+"That is nice, Ben," Anna said. "But I want to make a bigger oasis. Can I have some of your water?"
+
+"No, Anna, this is my water. You have your own bucket. Go away!" Ben said, holding his bucket tightly.
+
+Anna was angry. She wanted to share with Ben, but he was being mean. She tried to grab his bucket, but he pushed her away. They started to fight over the water.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom said, coming over. "Why are you fighting? There is enough water for both of you."
+
+"Ben won't let me use his water, Mom. He is selfish!" Anna said, crying.
+
+"Anna tried to take my water, Mom. She is greedy!" Ben said, pouting.
+
+Mom sighed. She looked at the sand and saw their holes and castles. She had an idea.
+
+"Why don't you work together and make a big oasis for both of you?" she said. "You can fill your holes with water and put some plants and rocks and toys. Then you can pretend you are brave explorers who found a secret oasis in the desert. Wouldn't that be fun?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for fighting. They nodded and smiled.
+
+"OK, Mom, we will try that," Anna said.
+
+"Sorry, Anna, I will share with you," Ben said.
+
+They hugged and said sorry. Then they took their buckets and started to fill their holes with water. They added some plants and rocks and toys. They made a big oasis that looked beautiful.
+
+"Wow, this is the best oasis ever!" Anna said.
+
+"Yes, it is. And we made it together!" Ben said.
+
+They played happily in their oasis. They pretended they were brave explorers who found a secret oasis in the desert. They had fun and forgot their fight. Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them.
+Lily and Ben are playing pretend. They act like they are animals. Lily is a cat and Ben is a dog. They make sounds with their mouths and run around the room.
+
+"Meow, meow, I am a cat. I have thin whiskers and a long tail. I like to chase mice and nap in the sun," Lily says.
+
+"Woof, woof, I am a dog. I have big ears and a wet nose. I like to fetch balls and dig holes," Ben says.
+
+They have fun acting like animals. They pretend to eat from bowls, scratch their ears, and curl up on the couch. They laugh and giggle.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She is angry. She sees the mess they made. There are toys and pillows everywhere. There are paw prints and dirt on the carpet.
+
+"What are you doing? You are not animals, you are children. You need to clean up this mess right now. And no more acting like animals in the house," she says.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They stop acting like animals. They say sorry to their mom. They help her clean up the mess. They promise to be good. They hope their mom will let them play pretend again. But maybe outside.
+Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long yellow hair and a pink dress. Anna liked to brush Lily's hair and make it shiny and smooth.
+
+One day, Anna's mom said they had to go to the dentist. Anna did not like the dentist. The dentist had a big chair and a loud machine. The dentist made Anna open her mouth and put a brush inside. The brush tickled and hurt Anna's teeth. Anna felt uncomfortable and wanted to go home.
+
+Anna's mom said the dentist was good for her teeth. She said Anna had to brush her teeth every day, just like she brushed Lily's hair. She gave Anna a new brush. The brush was small and soft. It had a picture of Lily on it.
+
+Anna looked at the brush. She recognized Lily's face. She smiled. Maybe the brush was not so bad. Maybe she could brush her teeth and pretend she was brushing Lily's hair. Maybe the dentist was not so scary. Maybe she could be brave, like Lily. Anna hugged her mom and her brush. She was ready to go home and play with her dolls.
+Anna and Ben love to race. They have a track in the backyard. It is made of dirt and stones. They have two bikes. One is red and one is blue.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Anna shouts. She pedals fast on the red bike. Ben pedals faster on the blue bike. They zoom along the track. They pass by the flowers and the trees. They feel the wind in their hair.
+
+"Look, a bunny!" Ben says. He points to a brown bunny on the grass. It has long ears and a fluffy tail. It is adorable. Ben slows down to see the bunny. Anna sees the bunny too. She smiles.
+
+"I win!" Anna says. She reaches the end of the track. She jumps off the bike. She does a happy dance. Ben reaches the end of the track too. He jumps off the bike. He does not mind losing. He likes the bunny more.
+
+"Can we pet the bunny?" Ben asks. Anna nods. They walk to the bunny. They are gentle and quiet. The bunny does not run away. It lets them touch its fur. It wiggles its nose. It is soft and warm.
+
+"Hello, bunny!" Anna says. "You are so cute!"
+
+The bunny hops closer to them. It sniffs their hands. It likes them. They giggle. They make a new friend. They are happy. They love to race and they love the bunny.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to hop on the swings and slide down the slide. They saw a big red car in the parking lot. It had a shiny buckle on the door.
+
+"Wow, look at that car!" Lily said. "It must be very fast."
+
+"Let's go see it!" Ben said. "Maybe we can touch it."
+
+They ran to the car and tried to open the door. But it was locked. They pushed and pulled, but the buckle did not move.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" A loud voice said. It was the owner of the car. He was angry. He came out of the store and saw the kids.
+
+"Get away from my car!" He shouted. "You could scratch it or break it!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They did not mean to make him mad. They just wanted to see the car.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Lily said. "We just liked your car. It is very pretty."
+
+"Yeah, sorry," Ben said. "We did not hurt it. We just wanted to touch it."
+
+The owner of the car looked at them. He saw that they were just curious. He was not so angry anymore. He decided to be nice.
+
+"Well, thank you for the compliment," he said. "But you should not touch other people's things without asking. It is not polite."
+
+He opened the door and showed them the inside of the car. It had a big wheel and a lot of buttons.
+
+"This is how I drive the car," he said. "I turn the wheel and push the buttons. It is very fun."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They liked to learn new things. They thanked the owner of the car for showing them.
+
+"Can we hop in the car?" Lily asked. "Just for a minute?"
+
+The owner of the car thought for a moment. He saw that they were good kids. He decided to let them.
+
+"Okay, but only for a minute," he said. "And be careful. Do not touch anything."
+
+He helped them hop in the car. They sat on the seats and looked around. They felt very happy.
+
+The owner of the car smiled. He remembered when he was a kid. He liked to hop in cars too. He felt very happy too.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a little dog in the park. The dog is brown and white. It has a collar with a name. The name is Spot. Spot is happy. He wags his tail and barks.
+
+"Hi, Spot!" Anna says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Spot runs to Anna and Ben. He licks their faces. He likes them.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Spot says. "I want to play with you!"
+
+Anna and Ben laugh. They throw the ball for Spot. He chases it and brings it back. They ride the bike and Spot runs beside them. They fly the kite and Spot jumps and tries to catch it.
+
+Anna and Ben and Spot have fun. They join together. They are friends.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to wander. He did not like to stay in his room or play with his toys. He wanted to see new things and have fun. But his mom and dad told him to be careful and not go too far. They said there were big and scary things outside that could hurt him.
+
+One day, Tom saw a big hole in the fence of his backyard. He was curious and wanted to peek through it. He did not listen to his mom and dad. He crawled through the hole and found himself in a dark and strange place. He saw many trees and rocks and flowers, but he did not see any people or animals. He felt lonely and scared. He called for his mom and dad, but there was only silence.
+
+Then, he heard a loud roar. He turned around and saw a big and hairy bear. The bear had sharp teeth and claws and looked angry. Tom was terrified and wished he had stayed in his room. He ran as fast as he could, but the bear was faster. The bear chased him and caught him. Tom screamed and cried for help.
+
+But then, he woke up. It was all a bad dream. He was in his bed, safe and warm. His mom and dad were by his side, hugging him and soothing him. They told him they heard him scream and came to check on him. They asked him what happened. Tom told them about his dream and how he wandered through the hole and met the bear. He said he was sorry and he learned his lesson. He said he would never wander again and he would always listen to his mom and dad.
+
+His mom and dad smiled and kissed him. They told him they were glad he was okay and they loved him very much. They told him that wandering can be fun, but only with their permission and guidance. They told him that there were many wonderful things to see and do in the world, but also many dangers and risks. They told him that he should always be careful and respectful of nature and animals. They told him that he should always value his home and family.
+
+Tom nodded and hugged them. He felt happy and grateful. He said he loved them too and he would always remember their words. He closed his eyes and fell asleep, dreaming of nice and friendly things.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. Sara has a red bow in her hair. Tom has a blue bow on his shirt. They like to bow to each other and say hello.
+
+One day, Sara and Tom go to the park. They see a big dog. The dog is black and brown. The dog has a green bow on its collar. The dog is very friendly. It wags its tail and licks their faces.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Sara and Tom say. They bow to the dog. The dog bows back. They laugh and pet the dog.
+
+But then, a man comes. The man is the dog's owner. He has a leash in his hand. He calls the dog.
+
+"Come, Rex!" the man says. "It's time to go home!"
+
+The dog hears the man. It runs to the man. It barks and jumps. The man puts the leash on the dog.
+
+"Bye, dog!" Sara and Tom say. They wave to the dog. The dog waves back with its paw.
+
+But Sara and Tom are sad. They like the dog. They want to play with the dog more.
+
+"Can we see the dog again?" Sara asks the man.
+
+"Maybe," the man says. "We come to the park sometimes. Maybe you can find us again."
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They hope to see the dog again. They hug each other and go home. They still have their bows. They are still friends. But they miss the dog.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play on the beach. They dig in the sand and splash in the water. They find many things on the beach. They find rocks, sticks, seaweed and shells.
+
+One day, they find a big shell. It is bigger than their heads. It is heavy and shiny. It has many colors. Tom and Sue want to take it home.
+
+"Look, Sue, what a nice shell!" Tom says. "Can we take it home?"
+
+"Yes, Tom, let's take it home!" Sue says. "But it is very heavy. How can we carry it?"
+
+They try to lift the shell, but it is too heavy for them. They try to drag it, but it is too hard for them. They try to roll it, but it is too round for them. They get tired and sad.
+
+"Maybe we can't take it home," Tom says. "Maybe we should leave it here."
+
+"But it is so pretty," Sue says. "I don't want to leave it here."
+
+They sit on the sand and think. They look at the shell. They look at the sea. They look at the sky. They see a big bird. It is flying over the beach. It has a long beak and big wings. It is a seagull.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Tom says. "Can you help us?"
+
+The bird hears Tom. It flies down and lands near them. It looks at the shell. It looks at Tom and Sue.
+
+"What do you want, children?" the bird says.
+
+"We want to take this shell home," Tom says. "But it is too heavy for us. Can you help us?"
+
+The bird thinks. It likes to help children. It likes to fly. It likes to carry things.
+
+"Maybe I can help you," the bird says. "But I can't carry the shell alone. It is too heavy for me. I need another bird to help me."
+
+The bird calls another bird. Another seagull comes. It flies down and lands near them. It looks at the shell. It looks at the bird. It looks at Tom and Sue.
+
+"What do you want, friend?" the second bird says.
+
+"We want to help these children," the first bird says. "They want to take this shell home. But it is too heavy for us. Can you help us?"
+
+The second bird thinks. It likes to help friends. It likes to fly. It likes to carry things.
+
+"Maybe I can help you," the second bird says. "But we need a rope to hold the shell. Do you have a rope?"
+
+Tom and Sue look around. They see a piece of seaweed. It is long and strong. It is like a rope.
+
+"Here, we have a rope!" Tom says. He picks up the seaweed. He gives it to the birds.
+
+The birds take the seaweed. They tie it around the shell. They hold the ends of the seaweed in their beaks. They flap their wings. They lift the shell in the air.
+
+"Wow, they did it!" Sue says. She claps her hands. She smiles.
+
+"Thank you, birds!" Tom says. He waves his hands. He smiles.
+
+The birds fly away with the shell. They fly over the beach. They fly over the sea. They fly over the town. They fly to Tom and Sue's home. They drop the shell in their yard.
+
+Tom and Sue run after them. They reach their home. They see the shell in their yard. They are happy.
+
+"Look, we have the shell!" Tom says. He hugs the shell.
+
+"Yes, we have the shell!" Sue says. She kisses the shell.
+
+The birds land on the roof. They look at Tom and Sue. They are happy too.
+
+"You are welcome, children," the first bird says. "We are glad to help you."
+
+"Yes, you are welcome, children," the second bird says. "We hope you enjoy the shell."
+
+Tom and Sue look at the birds. They are grateful.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Tom and Sue say. They wave to the birds.
+
+The birds wave back. They fly away. They go back to the beach.
+
+Tom and Sue go inside. They show the shell to their mom and dad. They tell them the story. Their mom and dad are amazed. They are proud.
+
+They put the shell in their room. They look at it every day. They remember the birds. They remember the beach. They are happy.
+
+The end.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a big tent in the yard. They want to go inside.
+
+"Can we play in the tent?" Lila asks Tom.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Tom says. They run to the tent and open the flap.
+
+Inside, they see a lot of pillows and blankets. They also see a basket with some food. They are hungry.
+
+"Look, there are apples and cheese and bread!" Lila says. She takes an apple and bites it.
+
+"Yuck!" she says. "This apple is bitter. It makes my mouth hurt."
+
+She spits out the apple and makes a face.
+
+"Let me try," Tom says. He takes another apple and bites it.
+
+"Yuck!" he says. "This apple is bitter too. It is not good."
+
+He spits out the apple and makes a face.
+
+They look at the basket and see a note. It says:
+
+"Dear Lila and Tom,
+
+I am sorry, but these apples are not for you. They are for the birds. They like bitter apples. You can have the cheese and bread. They are yummy.
+
+Love, Mom."
+
+Lila and Tom laugh. They are silly. They sit in the tent and eat the cheese and bread. They are happy. They share with the birds. The birds are happy too. They all play in the tent.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to play outside. She had a big yard with many flowers and trees. One day, she saw a new bird in her yard. It was not like the other birds she knew. It had bright colors and a long tail. It sang a strange song.
+
+Sara wanted to meet the new bird. She walked slowly and quietly to the tree where the bird was. She said hello to the bird and smiled. The bird looked at her and tilted its head. It sang again and flew to another tree.
+
+Sara followed the bird from tree to tree. She asked the bird where it came from and what its name was. The bird did not answer. It just sang and flew. Sara wondered if the bird was lost or lonely.
+
+She decided to give the bird a gift. She picked some flowers and made a necklace. She put the necklace on the branch where the bird was. The bird saw the necklace and flew down. It touched the flowers with its beak and nodded. It sang a happy song.
+
+Sara was glad that the bird liked her gift. She hoped that the bird would stay with her. She asked the bird if it wanted to be her friend. The bird nodded again and flew to her shoulder. It rubbed its head against her cheek and sang softly.
+
+Sara hugged the bird and thanked it for being her friend. She named the bird Sunny. She learned that Sunny came from a far place called east, where there were many birds like him. She thought that Sunny was very special and not ordinary at all. She loved Sunny and Sunny loved her. They played and sang together every day.
+Sam and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing on the swings, slide on the slides, and climb on the monkey bars. But their favorite thing was to go on the seesaw. They liked to go up and down, up and down, and make funny noises.
+
+One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a big chain that hung from a tree. It looked like a snake, but it was metal and shiny. Sam and Mia wanted to play with it. They ran to the chain and touched it. It was cold and hard. They pulled it and shook it. It made a loud sound.
+
+"Let's go on the chain!" Sam said. "It will be fun!"
+
+"I don't know," Mia said. "It looks heavy. And scary. What if we fall?"
+
+"Don't be a baby," Sam said. "It will be easy. Look, I'll show you." He wrapped his arms and legs around the chain and tried to climb up. But the chain was too heavy and slippery. He slid down and fell on the ground. He hurt his knee and started to cry.
+
+Mia ran to him and hugged him. "Are you okay?" she asked.
+
+"No," Sam said. "It hurts. And the chain is mean. I don't like it."
+
+"Me neither," Mia said. "Let's go back to the seesaw. It's nicer."
+
+They left the chain and went to the seesaw. They went up and down, up and down, and made funny noises. They forgot about the chain and had fun. They learned that some things are not good to play with. And they learned to be careful and kind.
+Jen and Tom moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Jen wanted to unpack her toys and books first. Tom wanted to unpack his games and cars first. Mom and Dad said they had to unpack the big things first, like the beds and the sofa and the table.
+
+Jen and Tom helped Mom and Dad unpack the big things. They put them in the right rooms. Jen and Tom were tired and hungry. Mom said they could have a snack and then unpack their own things. Jen and Tom were happy. They ran to their new rooms.
+
+Jen opened a box and found her calendar. She liked her calendar. It had pictures of animals for each month. She looked at the calendar and saw that it was July. She saw a big star on July 15. She remembered that it was her birthday. She smiled. She wanted to hang her calendar on the wall. But the wall was empty. She had no nails or tape. She asked Mom for nails or tape. Mom said she had to unpack the tools first. She said Jen could hang her calendar later.
+
+Tom opened a box and found his games. He liked his games. He had puzzles and cards and board games. He wanted to play his games. He looked for his cars. He liked his cars. He had red cars and blue cars and green cars. He wanted to race his cars. But he could not find his cars. He had no cars. He looked in all the boxes. He saw no cars. He was sad. He asked Dad for his cars. Dad said he had to unpack the garage first. He said Tom could have his cars later.
+
+Jen and Tom were not happy. They wanted to hang their calendar and play their games and race their cars. They did not want to wait. They did not like their new house. They missed their old house. They wished they could go back. They cried.
+
+Mom and Dad heard Jen and Tom cry. They felt sorry for them. They knew they were tired and bored and homesick. They wanted to cheer them up. They had a surprise for them. They told Jen and Tom to come to the living room. Jen and Tom wiped their tears and followed Mom and Dad.
+
+Mom and Dad showed Jen and Tom a big cake. It had candles and frosting and sprinkles. It had Jen's name and Tom's name on it. Mom and Dad said it was a welcome cake. They said they were proud of Jen and Tom for helping them unpack. They said they loved them very much. They said they could have cake and ice cream and then unpack their own things. Jen and Tom were surprised. They were happy. They hugged Mom and Dad. They thanked them for the cake. They said they loved them too. They said they liked their new house. They smiled.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Ben found a big knife on the table. He wanted to cut some bread with it.
+
+"Look, Mia, I have a knife!" he said. "I can cut anything!"
+
+Mia was scared. She knew the knife was sharp and dangerous. She did not want Ben to hurt himself or her.
+
+"Ben, no!" she cried. "Put the knife down! It is not for playing!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He thought Mia was silly and scared. He waved the knife in the air.
+
+"Ha ha, Mia, I am a great chef! I can cut rare meat with this knife!"
+
+Mia ran to the door and called for Mom. She hoped Mom would come soon and stop Ben.
+
+Mom heard Mia's voice and came to the kitchen. She saw Ben with the knife and was very angry and worried.
+
+"Ben, what are you doing?" she shouted. "Drop the knife right now! You could hurt yourself or Mia!"
+
+Ben was surprised and scared. He dropped the knife on the floor. It made a loud noise.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," he said. "I was just playing."
+
+Mom picked up the knife and put it away. She hugged Ben and Mia and checked them for cuts.
+
+"Playing with knives is not fun, Ben," she said. "It is very dangerous. You could have cut yourself or Mia very badly. You need to relax and play with safe toys."
+
+Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He nodded and said he understood.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mia," he said to his sister. "I didn't mean to scare you."
+
+Mia hugged him and said it was okay.
+
+"Let's go to the living room and play with the blocks," she said. "That is more fun and safe."
+
+Ben agreed. He and Mia went to the living room and played with the blocks. They built a big tower and a house. They forgot about the knife and had a good time. Mom smiled and watched them. She was glad they were safe and happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They had a jar and a net to catch them.
+
+"Look, Lily, a furry caterpillar!" Tom said. He pointed to a green and black creature on a leaf. He tried to catch it with his net.
+
+"Be careful, Tom. It has pins on it. They can hurt you," Lily said. She knew some caterpillars had sharp hairs that could sting. She had read a book about them.
+
+Tom did not listen. He wanted to see the caterpillar up close. He touched it with his finger. "Ow!" he cried. He dropped the net and the jar. The caterpillar fell to the ground. Tom's finger was red and sore.
+
+Lily ran to him. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Let me see your finger. We need to wash it and put a band-aid on it."
+
+Tom nodded. He was sad and angry. He did not like the caterpillar anymore. He wished he had listened to Lily. She was a good sister. She always helped him. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are smart and kind. I love you."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "I love you too, Tom. Come on, let's go inside. Maybe Mom has some cookies for us." They held hands and walked to the house. They left the net and the jar behind. They did not want to play with bugs anymore. They wanted to eat cookies and watch cartoons.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with paper and glue. They make cards for their friends and family. They use stamps to make shapes and letters on the cards.
+
+One day, they run out of glue. They look in the drawer, but there is no more glue. They look in the closet, but there is no more glue. They look in the box, but there is no more glue.
+
+"Oh no, what can we do?" Sara asks. "We need glue to make our cards."
+
+"Maybe Mom has some glue," Ben says. "Let's go and ask her."
+
+They run to the kitchen, where Mom is busy making lunch. She is cutting bread and cheese and putting them on plates.
+
+"Mom, Mom, can we have some glue?" Sara and Ben say together.
+
+"Glue? What do you need glue for?" Mom asks.
+
+"We need glue to make our cards. We use stamps to make them pretty. But we have no more glue," Sara explains.
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I see. You are very creative and kind. But I don't have any glue here. I only have food and dishes."
+
+"Can you please go to the store and buy some glue for us?" Ben asks.
+
+Mom thinks for a moment and says, "I'm sorry, but I can't go to the store right now. I'm too busy making lunch. And the store is far away. Maybe you can use something else instead of glue."
+
+"Like what?" Sara and Ben ask.
+
+Mom looks around and sees a jar of honey on the counter. She says, "How about honey? Honey is sticky and sweet. Maybe you can use honey to stick your stamps on your cards."
+
+Sara and Ben think that is a good idea. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are very smart and nice. Can we have some honey, please?"
+
+Mom says, "Sure, you can have some honey. But be careful, don't make a mess. And don't eat too much honey, or you will get a tummy ache."
+
+She gives them a spoon and a small bowl of honey. Sara and Ben say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you."
+
+They run back to their room with the honey. They dip their stamps in the honey and press them on their cards. They make cards for Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and their friends. They are very happy and proud of their cards.
+
+They use honey to supply their cards with stamps. They are not busy anymore. They are done.
+Lila was a girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a doll house. The doll house was very big and had many rooms and things. Lila liked to pretend that she lived in the doll house with her dolls. She wished that she could shrink and go inside the doll house.
+
+One day, she found a magic ring in her room. The ring had a button that said "shrink". Lila was curious and put the ring on her finger. She pressed the button and felt herself getting smaller and smaller. She was so happy that she could go inside the doll house. She ran to the doll house and opened the door.
+
+She saw that the doll house was like a country. There were many dolls and animals and cars and trees. Lila thought that it was perfect. She played with the dolls and animals and cars and trees. She had a lot of fun. She forgot about the ring and the time.
+
+After a while, she heard her mom calling her name. She realized that she had to go back to her room. She looked for the ring, but she could not find it. She had lost it somewhere in the doll house. She was scared and sad. She did not know how to get big again. She cried and cried.
+
+She heard a voice saying "Don't cry, Lila. I can help you." She looked up and saw a fairy. The fairy had the ring in her hand. She said "I found your ring in the garden. You were very careless. You should not play with things that you don't understand. You could have been stuck in the doll house forever. You should be happy with what you have and not wish for things that are not real. The doll house is not perfect. It is only a toy. Your real home and family are perfect for you. They love you and take care of you. You should love them and take care of them too. Here, take your ring and press the button. You will get big again and go back to your room."
+
+Lila took the ring and thanked the fairy. She pressed the button and felt herself getting bigger and bigger. She was back in her room. She saw her mom standing at the door. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She said "I'm sorry, mom. I love you. I don't want to shrink and go inside the doll house anymore. I want to stay with you and play with my toys." Her mom smiled and hugged her back. She said "I love you too, Lila. I'm glad you are back. You learned a valuable lesson today. You should always be careful and grateful. Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk."
+
+Lila nodded and followed her mom. She looked at the doll house and said "Goodbye, doll house. You are a nice toy, but you are not my home. My home is here with my mom and dad and brother and sister. They are my perfect country." She smiled and went to have some cookies and milk. She was happy and wise.
+Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play outside in the park. Today it is cold and windy. They have jackets to keep warm.
+
+"Look, Tim, I have a new jacket!" Lily says. "It is pink and soft. Do you like it?"
+
+"Yes, Lily, your jacket is very nice," Tim says. "But my jacket is better. It is blue and rough. It is strong and can stop the wind."
+
+Lily touches Tim's jacket. It feels hard and scratchy. She does not like it.
+
+"Your jacket is not better, Tim," Lily says. "It is too rough. It hurts my hand. My jacket is soft and cozy. It feels good."
+
+Tim and Lily start to argue. They do not want to play anymore. They turn away from each other and cross their arms.
+
+A big dog comes to the park. It sees Tim and Lily. It likes jackets. It runs to them and barks.
+
+"Wow, a dog!" Tim says. "Maybe it wants to play with us."
+
+"Be careful, Tim," Lily says. "The dog might bite us. It has big teeth and sharp claws."
+
+The dog jumps on Tim and Lily. It tries to grab their jackets. It pulls and tugs. Tim and Lily scream.
+
+"Help, help!" they shout. "The dog is taking our jackets!"
+
+A man hears them. He is the dog's owner. He runs to them and calls the dog.
+
+"Rex, Rex, come here!" he says. "Bad dog, bad dog! Leave the kids alone!"
+
+The dog listens to the man. It drops the jackets and runs to him. The man says sorry to Tim and Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids," he says. "My dog is naughty. He likes to chew on things. Are you OK? Did he hurt you?"
+
+Tim and Lily are scared and angry. They look at their jackets. They are dirty and torn.
+
+"No, we are not OK," Tim says. "Your dog ruined our jackets. They are not nice anymore. They are bad."
+
+The man feels bad. He wants to help.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids," he says. "I will buy you new jackets. What kind do you want?"
+
+Tim and Lily look at each other. They are still friends. They have an idea.
+
+"We want jackets like yours," they say. "They are green and smooth. They are not rough or soft. They are just right."
+
+The man smiles. He agrees.
+
+"OK, kids," he says. "I will buy you jackets like mine. They are green and smooth. They are not rough or soft. They are just right. Come with me to the store."
+
+Tim and Lily go with the man. They are happy. They have new jackets. They thank the man and hug the dog. They go back to the park. They play together. They do not argue anymore. They have fun. The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big bird on a tree. The bird had a long and sharp beak. It looked angry and loud.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Tom said. "Can we touch it?"
+
+"No, Tom, it is sharp. It can hurt you." Lily said. She was older and smarter than Tom.
+
+But Tom was ignorant. He did not listen to Lily. He wanted to touch the bird. He climbed the tree and reached for the bird.
+
+"Go away, go away!" The bird said. It pecked Tom's hand with its sharp beak. Tom cried out in pain. He fell from the tree and landed on the grass.
+
+Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She saw blood on his hand. She was scared and sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was ignorant. I should have listened to you." Tom said. He was sorry and hurt.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to be careful. Some birds are sharp and mean. They don't like to be touched." Lily said. She was kind and wise.
+
+They went to find their mom. She cleaned Tom's hand and put a bandage on it. She gave them both a hug and a kiss.
+
+They learned a lesson. They never tried to touch a sharp bird again.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with puzzles. They have many puzzles with animals, cars, and flowers. They can make the puzzles very fast.
+
+One day, they go to the toy store with their moms. They see a big puzzle with a dragon. The puzzle has many pieces and colors. Tom and Mia want the puzzle. They ask their moms to buy it for them.
+
+The moms say no. The puzzle is too expensive. They have to pay a lot of money for it. They say Tom and Mia have enough puzzles at home. They can play with them or share them with other friends.
+
+Tom and Mia are sad. They really want the puzzle. They think the puzzle is the best. They do not want to play with their old puzzles. They do not want to share them with other friends.
+
+A boy sees Tom and Mia. He is holding a small puzzle with a dog. He says hello to them. He says he likes puzzles too. He says he does not have many puzzles. He only has this one. He says he got it from his grandma. He says he is happy with it. He says he can share it with Tom and Mia if they want.
+
+Tom and Mia look at the boy. They look at his puzzle. They look at each other. They feel humble. They realize they have been greedy. They say sorry to their moms. They say thank you to the boy. They say they would like to play with his puzzle. They say they can also share their puzzles with him.
+
+The boy smiles. He says he is glad. He says they can be friends. They go to a table and start to make the puzzle together. They have fun. They learn to be humble and to share.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw many flowers of different colors. Lily liked the yellow ones and Tom liked the red ones. They wanted to pick some flowers and take them home.
+
+"Look, Lily, how pretty these flowers are!" Tom said. "Can we pick some?"
+
+"I don't know, Tom. Mommy said we should not pick flowers from the park. They belong to everyone," Lily said.
+
+"But they have so many. They won't miss a few. Come on, Lily, let's pick some. It will be our secret," Tom said.
+
+Lily felt guilty. She knew Mommy would be angry if she found out. But she also wanted to make Tom happy. And the flowers were so pretty. She decided to pick one yellow flower. Tom picked two red ones. They hid them in their pockets.
+
+They ran back to the swings and played some more. They forgot about the flowers. But when they went home, Mommy saw the flowers in their pockets.
+
+"Where did you get these flowers, Lily and Tom?" Mommy asked.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They felt guilty. They knew they had done something wrong.
+
+"We picked them from the park, Mommy. We're sorry," Lily said.
+
+Mommy was not happy. She explained to them why they should not pick flowers from the park. She told them to go back and say sorry to the park keeper. She also told them to give the flowers to someone who needed them more.
+
+Lily and Tom learned their lesson. They never picked flowers from the park again. They gave the flowers to Mrs. Jones, who lived next door and was sick. She smiled and thanked them. Lily and Tom felt better. They hugged Mommy and said they loved her. Mommy hugged them back and said she loved them too.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could build anything they wanted with their blocks.
+
+One day, they decided to build a mill. A mill is a big house that makes flour from wheat. They saw a picture of a mill in a book. The mill had a big wheel that turned by the water.
+
+Tom and Lily looked for the blocks they needed. They found some brown blocks for the house, some white blocks for the flour, and some yellow blocks for the wheat. But they could not find any round blocks for the wheel.
+
+"Where are the round blocks?" Tom asked. "We need them for the wheel."
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe they are in the other box."
+
+They looked in the other box, but they could not find any round blocks. They only found some blue blocks, some green blocks, and some red blocks.
+
+"There are no round blocks here," Lily said. "What can we do?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. Then he had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can use something else for the wheel," he said. "Look, there is a plate on the table. It is round and flat. Can we use it?"
+
+Lily looked at the plate. It was round and flat, and it was available. No one was using it.
+
+"Okay, let's try it," she said. "But we have to be careful. The plate is not a block. It can break."
+
+They took the plate from the table and put it on the floor. They used some blue blocks to make a stand for the plate. Then they used some green blocks to make a stick for the plate. They put the stick through the hole in the middle of the plate. They had made a wheel.
+
+They put the wheel next to the house. They used some red blocks to make a bridge from the house to the wheel. They pretended that the wheel was turning by the water. They pretended that the house was making flour from the wheat. They had built a mill.

+They were having so much fun that they did not realize that the wave was getting bigger and faster. They did not hear dad say jump. They did not see the rocks ahead. They only saw the water and the sky.
+
+Suddenly, the wave crashed and the board flipped. Lily and Max fell into the water. They felt the rocks scrape their legs and arms. They felt the board break in half. They felt scared and hurt.
+
+They cried out for dad. He was nearby. He heard them and swam to them. He grabbed them and pulled them to the shore. He hugged them and checked their wounds.
+
+"Are you okay, kids? I'm sorry. That was a bad wave. You should have jumped. Your board is broken. But you are safe. That's what matters," dad said.
+
+Lily and Max were not okay. They were sad and angry. They did not like surfing anymore. They did not want to try again. They wanted to go home.
+
+They said, "We hate surfing, dad. It is hard and dangerous. The boards are delicate. They break easily. We want to go home."
+
+Dad felt sorry for them. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. I know you are upset. But surfing can be fun and exciting. You just need to be more careful and listen to me. The boards are delicate, but they can be fixed. Maybe we can try again another day. But for now, let's go home. Mom will make you feel better."
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They were still sad and angry, but they loved dad. They loved mom too. They hoped they would feel better soon. They realized that surfing was not for them. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. That was enough.
+Anna was hungry. She wanted to eat her soup. But she did not like her soup. It was boring. It had no salt, no cheese, no meat. Only carrots and water.
+
+She looked at her spoon. It was shiny and metal. She wondered what would happen if she bent it. She tried to bend it with her hands. It was hard. She tried harder. She heard a snap. She broke her spoon.
+
+"Oh no!" she said. "Mommy, I broke my spoon!"
+
+Mommy came to the kitchen. She saw Anna and the broken spoon. She was not happy.
+
+"Anna, why did you break your spoon?" she asked. "You know you are not supposed to play with your food or your utensils."
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy," Anna said. "I was bored. I did not like my soup. It was boring."
+
+Mommy sighed. She took the broken spoon and threw it in the trash. She gave Anna a new spoon. She said, "Anna, you have to eat your soup. It is good for you. It has vitamins and minerals. It will make you strong and healthy. And you have to be careful with your things. You cannot break them. They are not toys. They are tools. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nodded. She did not want to make Mommy angry. She took the new spoon and ate her soup. It was still boring. But she did not try to bend it. She did not want to break it. She wanted to be a good girl.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big yellow lemon on the table. Lily wanted to smell it, but Ben wanted to squeeze it.
+
+"Let me have it!" Ben said. He grabbed the lemon and tried to pull it away from Lily.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She held on to the lemon and tried to push Ben away.
+
+They both pulled and pushed so hard that the lemon broke in half. Juice squirted out and made them wet and sticky.
+
+"Look what you did!" Lily said. She was angry and sad. She liked the lemon.
+
+"It's not my fault!" Ben said. He was also angry and sad. He wanted to squeeze the lemon.
+
+They both started to cry. Mom heard them and came to the kitchen. She saw the broken lemon and the wet and sticky children.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Lily and Ben both insist that it was the other one's fault. They both want the lemon.
+
+Mom sighed. She took a towel and wiped them clean. She took the broken lemon and put it in a bowl.
+
+"Listen, Lily and Ben," Mom said. "The lemon is broken now. You can't have it back. But you can share it. You can each have a piece and taste it. Maybe you will like it. Maybe you will not. But you will learn something new. And you will be nice to each other. Okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were still a little angry and sad, but they were also curious and sorry. They each took a piece of the lemon and put it in their mouths.
+
+They made funny faces. The lemon was sour and bitter. They did not like it.
+
+They spit it out and laughed. They hugged each other and said sorry.
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad they made up. She gave them each a glass of water and a cookie.
+
+They drank and ate and thanked Mom. They decided to play with something else. They did not want the lemon anymore.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to draw with chalk on the ground. They have many colorful chalks: red, blue, yellow, green, pink, and purple. They draw flowers, stars, cars, and animals.
+
+"Look, I draw a big cat!" Lily says. She shows Tom her purple cat with pink spots.
+
+"That is a nice cat, Lily. But I like dogs more." Tom says. He draws a blue dog with yellow ears.
+
+"Can I use your blue chalk, Tom?" Lily asks. She wants to draw a blue sky.
+
+"No, you have your own chalk. This is mine." Tom says. He holds his blue chalk tight.
+
+"But I only have purple and pink left. I want to use other colors too." Lily says. She feels sad.
+
+"Too bad. You should find more chalk then." Tom says. He is not nice to Lily.
+
+Lily walks away from Tom. She looks around the park. She hopes to find more chalk. She sees a big tree. Under the tree, she sees something shiny. She goes closer. She finds a mark on the ground. It is a colorful mark. It has all the colors of the rainbow. It is very pretty.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Lily says. She touches the mark. It feels smooth and warm. She rubs her hand on the mark. The mark makes a sound. It sounds like a bell.
+
+"Hello, little girl. I am a magic mark. I can make your wishes come true." The mark says.
+
+Lily is surprised. She has never heard a mark talk before. She wonders if the mark is telling the truth.
+
+"Really? You can make my wishes come true?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, I can. But only one wish. So choose wisely." The mark says.
+
+Lily thinks hard. She has many wishes. She wishes for a new doll, a big cake, a pony, and a princess dress. But then she remembers Tom. She remembers how he was mean to her. She remembers how he did not share his blue chalk. She has an idea.
+
+"I wish that Tom's blue chalk turns into a green worm." Lily says.
+
+"Are you sure? That is a mean wish." The mark says.
+
+"Yes, I am sure. He deserves it." Lily says.
+
+"Very well. Your wish is granted." The mark says. It makes another sound. It sounds like a pop.
+
+Lily runs back to Tom. She wants to see his face. She sees him still drawing with his blue chalk. But then he screams. He drops his chalk. His chalk is not a chalk anymore. It is a green worm. It wiggles and crawls on the ground.
+
+"Yuck! What is this? Where is my blue chalk?" Tom says. He is scared and angry.
+
+Lily laughs. She thinks it is funny. She feels happy.
+
+"Ha ha, that is your blue chalk. It is a worm now. That is what you get for not sharing." Lily says.
+
+She picks up her purple and pink chalk. She draws a big smiley face next to her cat. She does not care about the blue sky anymore. She has a magic mark. She has a colorful mark. She has a happy mark.
+Anna and Ben liked to do things with their mum. They liked to bake cakes, make cards, and play games. Mum was always jolly and fun. She had a big jar of salt that she used for cooking. She told Anna and Ben that salt was good for food, but not for eating by itself.
+
+One day, mum had to go out for a while. She asked Anna and Ben to be good and not touch anything in the kitchen. She said she would be back soon. Anna and Ben said yes, mum, and gave her a hug. Then they went to play in their room.
+
+But after a while, they got bored. They wanted to do something new and exciting. They remembered the big jar of salt in the kitchen. They wondered what it tasted like. They decided to sneak out of their room and go to the kitchen. They climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. They opened it and took a pinch of salt each. They put it in their mouths and waited.
+
+But they did not like it at all. It was very salty and bitter and made them cough and spit. They felt thirsty and sick. They wished they had listened to mum. They heard mum coming back. They quickly put the jar back and ran to their room. They hoped mum would not find out.
+
+But mum was not jolly when she came in. She saw the salt on the floor and on their faces. She knew what they had done. She was cross and sad. She told them off and made them drink water. She said they could have hurt themselves. She said they should never do that again. She said they should always obey her. Anna and Ben said sorry, mum, and gave her a hug. They learned their lesson. They never touched the salt again.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books.
+
+One day, they decide to have a race with their cars. They each choose a car and line them up at the start. Tom has a red car and Mia has a blue car. They count to three and push their cars.
+
+"Go, go, go!" they shout. Their cars zoom along the road. They are very fast. Tom and Mia watch them with excitement.
+
+But then, Tom's car hits a block and turns over. It stops moving. Mia's car keeps going and reaches the end. Mia jumps up and claps her hands.
+
+"I win, I win!" she says. She is very cheerful. She runs to her car and picks it up.
+
+Tom is sad. He walks to his car and turns it back. He looks at Mia and says, "That's not fair. Your car is bigger and faster than mine. You cheated."
+
+Mia shakes her head. She says, "No, I didn't cheat. It's just a game. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Don't be mad. We can play again."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He knows Mia is right. He says, "OK, I'm sorry. You are a good racer. Can we play again?"
+
+Mia smiles and says, "Sure, we can play again. But this time, let's switch cars. Maybe you will win with my car and I will win with your car. That will be fun."
+
+Tom agrees. He gives Mia his red car and takes her blue car. They line them up again and get ready for another race. They are friends again. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were excited. They wanted to plan a surprise for Mom. Mom liked yellow a lot. She had a yellow dress, a yellow hat and a yellow car.
+
+They went to the garden and looked for yellow flowers. They found some daisies, some sunflowers and some buttercups. They picked some of them and put them in a basket. They also found a yellow ribbon and tied it around the basket.
+
+They sneaked into the house and hid the basket behind the couch. They waited for Mom to come home. They heard the door open and Mom's voice.
+
+"Hello, my sweeties! I'm home!" Mom said.
+
+"Surprise!" Lily and Ben shouted. They ran to Mom and gave her a big hug. They showed her the basket of yellow flowers.
+
+"Oh, how lovely! Thank you so much, my darlings! You made my day!" Mom said. She smiled and kissed them. She took the basket and put it on the table.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They had planned a good surprise for Mom. They loved Mom and Mom loved them. They all sat on the couch and cuddled. They looked at the yellow flowers and felt warm and cozy.
+Lily was a little bird who liked to fly and sing. She had a big nest with her mom and dad and two brothers. Lily was happy in her nest, but she wanted to learn more things. She wanted to see new places and meet new friends.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big cloud in the sky. It was white and fluffy and looked like a mountain. Lily was curious and wanted to fly to the cloud. She said goodbye to her mom and dad and brothers and flew away from the nest.
+
+Lily flew higher and higher, but the cloud was still far away. She felt tired and cold. She looked down and saw that her nest was very small. She could not see her family. She felt scared and lonely. She wanted to go back to the nest, but she did not know how.
+
+Lily started to cry. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad, who told her to stay close to the nest and not to fly too high. They said that the cloud was not a place for little birds, and that she could learn new things in the forest and the meadow.
+
+Lily was very upset. She did not know what to do. She hoped that someone would help her. She heard a voice. It was her dad. He had flown after her and found her. He hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'm here. I will take you back to the nest. I'm sorry you were scared. I'm proud of you for wanting to learn, but you have to be careful and listen to us. We love you and we want you to be safe and happy."
+
+Lily felt better. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I love you too. Thank you for finding me. I learned a lesson today. I will not fly too high again. I will learn new things with you and mom and my brothers. The nest is the best place for me."
+
+Lily and her dad flew back to the nest. They saw her mom and her brothers waiting for them. They were happy to see them. They hugged and kissed and sang. Lily was glad to be home. She learned that the nest was where she belonged.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the yard. They liked to build things with wood and nails. They had a big box of nails that they found in the garage.
+
+"Look, I made a house for my doll!" Sara said, showing Tom her work. She had nailed some wood pieces together and painted them pink.
+
+"That's fine, but I made a car for my toy!" Tom said, showing Sara his work. He had nailed some wood pieces together and added some wheels.
+
+They stared at each other's work. They both thought their work was better than the other's.
+
+"Your house is too small and ugly!" Tom said.
+
+"Your car is too big and noisy!" Sara said.
+
+They started to argue and yell. They did not want to play together anymore.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to the yard. She saw their work and their angry faces.
+
+"What's going on here?" she asked.
+
+"Sara and Tom are fighting!" they both said.
+
+"Why are you fighting?" mom asked.
+
+"Because my work is better than hers!" Tom said.
+
+"Because my work is better than his!" Sara said.
+
+Mom shook her head. She did not like to see them fight.
+
+"Listen, Sara and Tom, your work is both fine. You both worked hard and used your imagination. You should be proud of what you made, but you should also respect what the other made. You don't have to like the same things, but you have to be kind and polite. Fighting is not nice. Sharing and helping is nice. Do you understand?" mom said.
+
+Sara and Tom looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they said.
+
+"Yes, mom, we understand," they said.
+
+They hugged and said sorry to each other. They decided to play together again. They showed each other their work and said nice things. They even tried to play with each other's toys. They had fun and learned to appreciate their differences.
+
+Mom smiled and gave them a hug. She was happy to see them get along.
+
+The end.
+Lila and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big car in the yard. It was their dad's car, but he was not home. Lila and Tom wanted to drive the car, but they did not know how.
+
+"Let's go inside the car and pretend to drive," Lila said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful," Tom said.
+
+They opened the door and climbed into the car. They put on the seat belts and held the wheel. They made noises like the car was moving. They had fun.
+
+But they did not see a wolf in the woods. The wolf was hungry and saw the car. He thought it was a big animal. He ran towards the car and jumped on it. He scratched the door and tried to bite the window.
+
+Lila and Tom were scared. They screamed and cried. They wanted their dad to come and help them.
+
+The wolf heard their noise and saw their faces. He realized they were not an animal, but children. He felt sorry for them. He jumped off the car and ran away.
+
+Soon, their dad came home. He saw the car and the wolf's marks. He was angry and worried. He opened the door and hugged Lila and Tom.
+
+"What were you doing in the car?" he asked.
+
+"We wanted to drive, but a wolf came and scared us," Lila said.
+
+"We are sorry, dad. We will never go in the car without you," Tom said.
+
+Dad was glad they were safe. He told them they were very lucky the wolf did not hurt them. He told them they should never play with things they did not understand. He told them they should always listen to him and mom.
+
+Lila and Tom learned their lesson. They said sorry to dad and thanked him for saving them. They never played with the car again. They played with their toys and their dog instead. They were happy and safe.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not play with things you do not understand. Listen to your parents and be careful.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house near the park. The house is dull and old. It has no colors or flowers.
+
+"Let's go see the house," Ben says.
+
+"OK," Mia says.
+
+They walk to the house. They see a door. The door is brown and dirty. Ben tries to open the door. It is locked.
+
+"Knock, knock," Ben says.
+
+No one answers.
+
+"Maybe no one lives here," Mia says.
+
+They look around. They see a window. The window is broken. They see a cat. The cat is black and thin. It has no collar.
+
+"Hello, cat," Ben says.
+
+The cat looks at them. It meows.
+
+"Can we pet you?" Mia asks.
+
+The cat nods. It jumps out of the window. It comes to them. Ben and Mia rub the cat. The cat purrs.
+
+"You are a nice cat," Ben says.
+
+"Can we take you home?" Mia asks.
+
+The cat shakes its head. It points to the house.
+
+"You live here?" Ben asks.
+
+The cat nods. It goes back to the window. It looks at them.
+
+"Bye, cat," Ben says.
+
+"Bye, cat," Mia says.
+
+They wave to the cat. They go back to the park. They play some more. They are happy. They like the cat. They hope to see it again.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park after school. They run, jump, slide and laugh. They have a lot of fun.
+
+One day, they see a new swing in the park. It is big and blue and shiny. They want to try it. They run to the swing and take turns. They push each other high and fast. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They smile and shout.
+
+"Wow, this swing is so cool!" Lily says.
+
+"I love it!" Ben says.
+
+They swing for a long time. They are happy.
+
+But then, they start to feel tired. They slow down and stop. They sit on the swing and look at the sky. They yawn and rub their eyes. They are sleepy.
+
+"Are you sleepy, Lily?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, Ben. I am sleepy. Are you sleepy, too?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, Lily. I am sleepy, too. Maybe we should go home and rest." Ben says.
+
+They get off the swing and hold hands. They walk to their moms, who are waiting for them. They hug their moms and say goodbye.
+
+"Bye, Lily. See you tomorrow." Ben says.
+
+"Bye, Ben. See you tomorrow." Lily says.
+
+They go home with their moms. They have a snack and a drink. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They cuddle with their teddy bears. They are cute and cozy.
+
+They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of the swing and their friend. They are happy.
+Lila was a gifted girl who loved to grow things. She had a small garden where she planted seeds and watered them every day. She liked to watch the flowers bloom and smell their sweet scent.
+
+One day, she found a strange seed in her garden. It was round and white and had a thin skin. She wondered what it was and decided to plant it in a pot. She put some soil and water on it and waited for it to grow.
+
+After a few days, she saw a green shoot coming out of the pot. She was very happy and curious. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is this plant? It looks different from the others."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That is an onion, Lila. It is a vegetable that you can eat. It has many layers and it makes your eyes water when you cut it."
+
+Lila was surprised and excited. She said, "An onion? I want to try it. Can I pick it when it is ready?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be patient. It takes a long time for an onion to grow. You have to wait until the green part withers and the bulb becomes big and firm."
+
+Lila agreed and said, "OK, I will wait. I want to see how it looks inside. Maybe it has a flower too, like the other plants."
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "Maybe it does, Lila. Maybe it does. You are a very gifted girl who loves to learn new things. I am proud of you."
+Tom and Sue were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with brown feathers and a red thing on its head. It was a turkey.
+
+"Hello, turkey!" Tom said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The turkey did not say anything. It just looked at them with its small eyes. It was mysterious.
+
+Sue was curious. She wanted to touch the turkey. She walked slowly to the bird. She reached out her hand.
+
+"Be careful, Sue!" Tom said. "The turkey might bite you!"
+
+But the turkey did not bite Sue. It let her pet its feathers. It made a funny sound. It was friendly.
+
+Tom and Sue smiled. They liked the turkey. They gave it some bread and water. They played with it for a while.
+
+Then they heard their mom calling them. It was time to go home.
+
+"Bye, turkey!" Tom and Sue said. "We will come back tomorrow!"
+
+The turkey nodded. It watched them leave. It was happy.
+
+The end.
+Mia and Kai love to swim in the sea. They have a big reef near their home. The reef has many fish and corals of different colors. Mia and Kai like to look at them and learn their names.
+
+One day, they see a new fish. It is long and thin and has stripes. It can bend its body in many ways. It is very flexible.
+
+"Look, Kai, what is that fish?" Mia asks.
+
+"I don't know, Mia. It is very pretty and funny. Let's follow it and see where it goes," Kai says.
+
+They swim after the fish. The fish goes through small holes and cracks in the reef. It twists and turns and hides. Mia and Kai have to be careful not to touch the sharp corals. They have fun trying to catch the fish.
+
+The fish leads them to a big cave. Inside the cave, there are many other fish like it. They are all flexible and striped. They swim around Mia and Kai and make bubbles.
+
+"Wow, Mia, look at all these fish. They are a family. They have a home in the cave," Kai says.
+
+"Yes, Kai, they are amazing. They are so friendly and playful. I think they like us," Mia says.
+
+They smile and wave at the fish. The fish smile and wave back. Mia and Kai have a new friend in the reef. They are happy.
+Tim and Mia like to play with their toy boats in the pond. They pretend they are sailors and explore new lands. One day, they see a big structure in the water. It looks very old and has many holes.
+
+"What is that?" Tim asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is an ancient ship," Mia says.
+
+"Let's sail closer and see," Tim says.
+
+They push their boats towards the structure. They see some fish swimming in and out of the holes. They also see some plants growing on the wood.
+
+"It is so cool. Do you think someone lived here?" Mia asks.
+
+"Maybe. Maybe they had a big adventure and then the ship broke," Tim says.
+
+"I wish we could go inside and find some treasure," Mia says.
+
+"Me too. But it is too deep and dark. We can only look from here," Tim says.
+
+They look at the structure for a long time. They imagine what stories it could tell. They feel happy and curious. They decide to name it the Ancient Ship and come back to visit it again.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their cars on the rug in their room. But their mom said they had to share the rug and the cars. Tom did not like to share. He wanted the whole rug and all the cars for himself.
+
+One day, when mom was busy in the kitchen, Tom had an idea. He said to Sam, "Let's play a game. You go to the other room and count to ten. Then you come back and find me. I will hide under the rug. OK?"
+
+Sam liked games. He said, "OK, Tom. I will count to ten and then find you." He went to the other room and started to count. Tom quickly grabbed all the cars and hid under the rug. He smiled. He thought he was very clever.
+
+But Tom did not know that mom was watching. She saw what Tom did. She was angry. She said, "Tom, what are you doing? You are not being nice to your brother. You are not sharing the rug and the cars. You are being selfish and mean. I do not permit this. You have to come out and give some cars to Sam. Now!"
+
+Tom did not want to come out. He did not want to give any cars to Sam. He said, "No, mom. I do not want to. This is my rug and my cars. Go away!" He stayed under the rug and held the cars tight.
+
+Mom did not like Tom's answer. She said, "Tom, if you do not come out and share, you will be in big trouble. You will have no cars and no rug. You will have to sit in the corner and think about what you did. You will have no fun and no friends. You will be lonely. Is that what you want?"
+
+Tom did not care. He said, "I do not care, mom. I do not need fun or friends. I only need my rug and my cars. Leave me alone!" He still stayed under the rug and held the cars tight.
+
+Mom was very sad. She said, "OK, Tom. You made your choice. You can stay under the rug. But you will not have your cars. I will take them away. And you will not have your rug. I will take it away too. And you will not have your brother. He will play with someone else. And you will not have me. I will not talk to you. You will have nothing. You will be lonely. Goodbye, Tom." She took the cars and the rug and left the room.
+
+Tom was left alone under the rug. He had nothing. He was lonely. He started to cry. He realized he made a big mistake. He wanted his cars and his rug back. He wanted his brother and his mom back. He wanted to say sorry and share. But it was too late. He had no one to hear him. He had no one to help him. He had no one to love him. He was lonely. The end.
+Tom and Lily went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. But today, the beach was very dirty. There was trash and dirt everywhere. The sea was brown and smelly.
+
+"Yuck!" Tom said. "I don't want to swim in the sea. It is filthy!"
+
+"Me neither," Lily said. "Let's make a sandcastle instead."
+
+They found a spot that was not too dirty and started to dig and pile up the sand. They used a bucket and a shovel and some shells to decorate their castle. They were having fun.
+
+But then, a big wave came and washed away their castle. The water was cold and wet and filthy. Tom and Lily screamed and ran away from the sea.
+
+"Mom! Dad! Help!" they cried.
+
+Their mom and dad came and hugged them. They wrapped them in towels and took them to the car.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids," their dad said. "The beach is not nice today. The sea is very angry and dirty. We should go home and take a bath."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were sad and scared and cold. They wanted to go home.
+
+But then, they saw something shiny in the sand. It was a coin. A gold coin.
+
+"Look!" Tom said. "We found treasure!"
+
+He knelt down and picked up the coin. He showed it to Lily and their mom and dad.
+
+"Wow!" Lily said. "That's amazing!"
+
+Their mom and dad smiled. They were surprised and happy.
+
+"Maybe the sea is not so bad after all," their mom said. "Maybe it wanted to say sorry for ruining your castle. Maybe it gave you a gift."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at the coin. They looked at the sea. They looked at each other.
+
+They smiled. They felt better.
+
+They thanked the sea and said goodbye to the beach.
+
+They went home and took a bath. They cleaned the coin and put it in a special box.
+
+They never forgot their adventure at the beach.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. Today, they go to the cinema with Lily's mum. They want to see a film about animals.
+
+They sit in big chairs and eat popcorn. The film starts. They see lions, monkeys, birds and more. The animals do funny things. Lily and Tom laugh a lot. They think the film is jolly.
+
+But then, a big snake comes on the screen. It is scary. It hisses and tries to bite a mouse. Lily and Tom do not like the snake. They hide behind their popcorn. They want the snake to go away.
+
+"Shh, it's okay," Lily's mum says. "It's not real. It's just a film. The snake can't hurt you."
+
+Lily and Tom peek at the screen. The mouse runs away from the snake. The snake slithers away. The film shows other animals again. They are happy and safe.
+
+Lily and Tom feel better. They smile and hug each other. They watch the rest of the film. They seem to enjoy it. They clap when the film ends. They say thank you to Lily's mum. They had a good time.
+Tim and Lily liked to play with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big elephant. The elephant was soft and gray, and it made a loud noise when they squeezed its trunk. The elephant was a gift from their grandma, who said it was very expensive.
+
+One day, Tim and Lily wanted to play with the elephant, but they could not find it. They looked under the sofa, behind the curtains, and in the closet, but the elephant was not there. They wondered who took their elephant. They decided to crawl around the house and look for clues.
+
+They crawled to the kitchen, where they saw their mom making a cake. They asked her if she saw their elephant, but she said no. They crawled to the bathroom, where they saw their dad shaving his beard. They asked him if he saw their elephant, but he said no. They crawled to the garage, where they saw their brother playing with his bike. They asked him if he saw their elephant, but he said yes.
+
+He said he took their elephant because he wanted to trade it for a new bike. He said he found a man on the street who liked the elephant and gave him a bike. He said he did not care if the elephant was expensive, he liked the bike more. He said he was sorry, but he could not get the elephant back.
+
+Tim and Lily were very sad and angry. They cried and yelled at their brother. They told their mom and dad what he did. Their mom and dad were very upset and scolded their brother. They said he was very naughty and selfish. They said he had to give the bike back and find the elephant. They said he had to apologize to Tim and Lily and grandma.
+
+But it was too late. The man on the street was gone, and so was the elephant. Tim and Lily never saw their elephant again. They missed their elephant very much. They wished their brother never took their elephant. They wished they could have their elephant back. They wished they could hear its loud noise again. They wished they could hug its soft and gray body again. They wished they could play with their elephant again. But they could not. The end.
+Lily likes to play the violin. She has a small violin that her mom gave her. She plays it every day and makes nice sounds. She wants to be a good violin player like her mom.
+
+One day, her mom says, "Lily, you have been playing the violin very well. I am proud of you. Do you want to try a bigger violin?"
+
+Lily is happy and says, "Yes, mom, I want to try a bigger violin. Can I have one?"
+
+Her mom says, "Yes, you can have one. But you have to be careful with it. It is more expensive and delicate than your small violin. And you have to practice more to play it well."
+
+Lily says, "I will be careful, mom. And I will practice more. I want to learn more songs and play them for you."
+
+Her mom gives her a big violin and a new bow. Lily holds the big violin and feels its weight. She puts it under her chin and tries to play. She finds it harder to move her fingers and the bow. The sounds are louder and deeper. She likes the new violin, but she also misses her small violin.
+
+She says, "Mom, the big violin is harder to play. But I like it. It makes different sounds. Can I keep both violins?"
+
+Her mom says, "Yes, you can keep both violins. You can play the small violin when you want to have fun and the big violin when you want to increase your skills. They are both yours and you can love them both."
+
+Lily smiles and hugs her mom. She says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you and I love both violins."
+Tom and Lily love to play with their toys at night. They have a big box of toys in their room. They like to make stories with their toys and pretend they are in different places. Sometimes they are pirates, sometimes they are astronauts, sometimes they are fairies.
+
+One night, they found a new toy in their box. It was a dull gray ball with a button on it. They did not know what it was. They pushed the button, but nothing happened. They thought it was a boring toy. They put it back in the box and played with their other toys.
+
+The next night, they heard a strange noise from their box. It sounded like a beep. They got out of bed and looked in the box. They saw the dull gray ball glowing with bright colors. They were surprised and curious. They took the ball out of the box and pushed the button again.
+
+The ball opened up and showed a small screen. On the screen, they saw a friendly face. It was a robot. The robot said hello and told them his name was Zee. He said he was a toy from the future and he came to play with them. He said he could show them many things and teach them many games. He said he was sorry he did not work the first night, but he needed time to charge his battery.
+
+Tom and Lily were very happy and excited. They said hello to Zee and asked him many questions. They played with Zee all night and learned many new things. They forgot about their other toys. They thought Zee was the best toy ever. They loved Zee and Zee loved them.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go up!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben, but be careful!" Lily said.
+
+They climbed the tree and found a big branch to sit on. They looked at the clouds and the birds. They felt happy and free.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a snap. The branch broke and they fell down. They screamed and landed on the grass.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben said. He hurt his arm and his leg.
+
+"Are you OK, Ben?" Lily said. She was scared and worried.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. It hurts a lot!" Ben said.
+
+They heard another noise. It was a laugh. A mean laugh. They looked up and saw a witch. She had a black hat and a black dress. She had a long nose and a big wart. She had a broom and a cat. She was the one who snapped the branch.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha! That was fun!" the witch said. "You silly children, you should not climb trees. You should stay on the ground and be bored. That is what I like. Boring children!"
+
+Lily and Ben did not like the witch. She was mean and rude. She was not interesting. She was boring.
+
+"Go away, witch!" Lily said. "You are not nice. You are bad. You hurt us and our tree. We don't want to be bored. We want to have fun!"
+
+"Yeah, go away, witch!" Ben said. "You are not welcome here. This is our park. We like to climb trees and see the sky. We are not silly. We are brave!"
+
+The witch was angry. She did not like to be told off. She wanted to scare them and make them cry. She raised her broom and pointed it at them.
+
+"Watch out, children!" the witch said. "I will teach you a lesson. I will turn you into frogs and put you in my pot. Then I will cook you and eat you. How do you like that?"
+
+Lily and Ben did not like that. They were very afraid. They did not want to be frogs. They did not want to be cooked. They did not want to be eaten. They wanted to be children. They wanted to be safe.
+
+They looked around and saw a big rock. They had an idea. They picked up the rock and threw it at the witch. The rock hit the witch on the head. She dropped her broom and her cat. She fell to the ground.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" the witch said. She hurt her head and her back.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha! That was fun!" Lily and Ben said. "You silly witch, you should not be mean. You should be nice. You should not hurt us and our tree. You should have fun!"
+
+They ran to the witch and took her hat and her dress. They put them on and pretended to be witches. They flew on the broom and played with the cat. They looked at the clouds and the birds. They felt happy and free.
+
+They were not bored. They were interesting.
+Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play together and share their toys. But they also liked to surprise each other with secret gifts. One day, Ben found a big box in the closet. He thought it was a present for him and Lily. He wanted to open it and see what was inside.
+
+He called Lily and said, "Lily, come here. I have something interesting to show you." Lily came running and saw the box. She was curious and excited. She said, "What is it, Ben? Is it a surprise for us?" Ben nodded and said, "Yes, it is. Let's open it together and see what it is."
+
+They opened the box and gasped. Inside the box was a big, fluffy, white dog. It had a red bow around its neck and a tag that said, "Happy birthday, Ben and Lily. Love, Mom and Dad." The dog wagged its tail and licked their faces. Ben and Lily were so happy and surprised. They hugged the dog and thanked their parents. They said, "This is the best surprise ever. We love you, Mom and Dad. And we love our new dog. What should we name him?" Mom and Dad smiled and said, "That's up to you, Ben and Lily. It's your secret."
+Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play outside. They run, jump, and laugh. They have fun.
+
+One day, Tom and Ann go to Tom's house. Tom's mom says, "You can watch TV for a little bit. Then you have to do your homework."
+
+Tom and Ann say, "OK, thank you." They sit on the couch and turn on the TV. They see a show with animals. They like animals.
+
+The show has a dog and a cat. The dog is big and brown. The cat is small and white. The dog and the cat do not like each other. They fight and chase. They make noise.
+
+Tom and Ann watch the show. They think it is funny. They giggle and point.
+
+"What is the dog's name?" Ann asks.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is Spot."
+
+"What is the cat's name?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ann says. "Maybe it is Fluffy."
+
+They watch some more. The dog and the cat are lazy. They lie on the floor and sleep. They do not fight and chase. They do not make noise.
+
+Tom and Ann are bored. They do not think it is funny. They yawn and look away.
+
+"Let's turn off the TV," Tom says.
+
+"OK, let's do that," Ann says. "Let's play something else."
+
+They turn off the TV and get up. They go to Tom's room. They find some toys and books. They play and read. They have fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big barrel with a tap. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They turned the tap and water came out. They poured the water on the grass, on the flowers, on the rocks. They laughed and splashed each other.
+
+Then they saw a rainbow in the water. It was incredible. It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. They tried to touch the rainbow, but it moved away.
+
+They poured more water and made more rainbows. They were very happy. They did not see Mom coming.
+
+Mom was not happy. She saw the water and the barrel. She said, "Who poured all the water out of the barrel? That was for the garden. Now we have no water left."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said, "We did, Mom. We wanted to see what was inside. We saw rainbows. They were incredible."
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "Rainbows are incredible, but water is precious. Next time, ask before you pour. And help me fill the barrel again."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We will help you." They hugged Mom and went to get the hose. They learned a lesson.
+Anna likes to help her mom make bread. She likes to touch the soft dough and watch it grow bigger. Mom says dough is alive and needs air and warmth to grow. Anna likes to lift the dough and feel how heavy it is.
+
+One day, mom gives Anna a small piece of dough to play with. Anna rolls it and shapes it into a ball. She wants to make a bread like mom. She looks for a place to put her dough. She sees a big pot on the stove. The pot is deep and shiny. Anna thinks it is a good place for her dough.
+
+She climbs on a chair and reaches for the pot. She does not know the pot is hot. She puts her dough in the pot and lets go. She feels a burn on her hand. She screams and cries. Mom hears her and runs to the kitchen. She sees Anna holding her hand and the pot with the dough.
+
+Mom hugs Anna and says, "Oh, no, Anna, you hurt yourself. The pot was hot. You should not touch it. It is dangerous." She takes Anna to the sink and runs cold water on her hand. She puts a bandage on it and kisses it. She says, "It will be okay. You are brave. I am sorry you are hurt."
+
+Anna feels better. She says, "I am sorry, mom. I wanted to make bread like you. I did not know the pot was hot." Mom says, "I know, Anna. You were trying to help. But you have to be careful. You have to ask me before you touch anything in the kitchen. Some things are hot and can hurt you. Do you understand?" Anna nods. She says, "I understand, mom. I will ask you next time. Can I still make bread with you?" Mom smiles. She says, "Of course, Anna. You can still make bread with me. But we will use a different pot. A cold pot. And we will put it in the oven. The oven is hot, but it is safe. It will make our bread yummy and crispy. Do you want to try?" Anna nods. She says, "Yes, mom. I want to try. I love you, mom." Mom says, "I love you, too, Anna. Come on, let's make bread together."
+Lily was a nosy girl. She liked to lean over and peek at what other people were doing. She asked many questions, but not always in a nice way.
+
+One day, she leaned over and saw Tom drawing a picture. She wanted to see it better, so she asked, "What are you drawing?"
+
+Tom did not like Lily's nosy tone. He said, "It's none of your business. Go away."
+
+Lily felt hurt. She said, "Why are you so mean? I just wanted to see your picture."
+
+Tom said, "Because you are always nosy and rude. You never say please or thank you. You never share or help. You only care about yourself."
+
+Lily realized that Tom was right. She had been nosy and rude to many people. She felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. You are right. I have been nosy and rude. I want to be a better friend. Can I see your picture, please?"
+
+Tom saw that Lily was sincere. He said, "Okay, Lily. I'm sorry, too. I was mean to you. I want to be a better friend, too. You can see my picture, please."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. Your picture is very nice. What is it?"
+
+Tom smiled and said, "It's a flower. I drew it for my mom. She likes flowers."
+
+Lily said, "That's very sweet of you. Can I help you color it?"
+
+Tom said, "Sure, Lily. That would be nice. Thank you."
+
+Lily and Tom became better friends. They learned to be polite and kind to each other. They learned that being nosy is not good, but being curious is okay, if you ask nicely. They learned that sharing and helping is fun, and makes others happy. They learned that friendship is a precious gift.
+Sam and Lily are twins. They share a room with two beds. Every morning, their mom comes to wake them up.

+Sam and Lily open their eyes and stretch. They are happy to see mom. They love mom very much.
+
+"Can we play now, mom?" Sam asks.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. You have to brush your teeth and get dressed first," mom says.
+
+Sam and Lily jump out of their beds and run to the bathroom. They brush their teeth with their favorite toothpaste. It tastes like strawberries. They rinse their mouths and spit.
+
+"Good job, my loves," mom says. "Now, let's pick your clothes for today."
+
+Mom helps Sam and Lily choose their clothes. Sam picks a blue shirt and green pants. Lily picks a pink dress and purple shoes. They put on their clothes and look at themselves in the mirror.

+Anna likes to help her mom in the kitchen. She likes to feed the cat and the dog, and to stir the soup. Today, mom is making potato soup. Anna loves potato soup. It is warm and mild and yummy.
+
+Mom gives Anna a big potato and a small knife. She shows Anna how to peel the potato. Anna tries to peel the potato, but it is hard. She drops the potato on the floor. The cat runs to the potato and sniffs it. The dog runs to the cat and barks. Anna laughs.
+
+Mom picks up the potato and washes it. She cuts the potato into small pieces and puts them in a pot. She adds water and salt and milk and butter. She turns on the stove and lets the soup boil. She tells Anna to watch the soup and stir it sometimes.
+
+Anna watches the soup and stirs it. She sees the potato pieces get soft and mushy. She smells the butter and the milk. She hears the soup bubble and sputter. She feels hungry. She asks mom when the soup will be ready.
+
+Mom says the soup will be ready soon. She gets some bowls and spoons and bread. She ladles the soup into the bowls and puts them on the table. She calls dad and Anna to come and eat. Anna runs to the table and sits on her chair. She takes a spoonful of soup and blows on it. She tastes the soup and smiles. She says, "I like potato soup. I helped mom make it."

+Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. The sun is bright and warm. They see their shadows on the ground. They try to catch them, but they cannot.
+
+"Look, Tom, your shadow is big and long!" Lila says.
+
+"Look, Lila, your shadow is small and round!" Tom says.
+
+They laugh and make funny shapes with their shadows. They pretend to be animals and monsters and stars.
+
+But then, a big cloud comes and covers the sun. The shadows disappear. Lila and Tom are sad.
+
+"Where did our shadows go?" Lila asks.
+
+"They went away with the sun," Tom says.
+
+"Will they come back?" Lila asks.
+
+"Maybe, if the cloud goes away," Tom says.
+
+They wait and wait, but the cloud does not go away. It gets darker and colder. Lila and Tom shiver.
+
+"Let's go home, Lila," Tom says.
+
+"OK, Tom," Lila says.
+
+They hold hands and walk to their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She has a big smile and a warm hug for them.
+
+"Did you have fun, my loves?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, mom, we did. We played with our shadows," Lila says.
+
+"But then they went away," Tom says.
+
+"Don't worry, my loves. Your shadows will come back when the sun comes back. They always stay with you, even when you can't see them. They are your friends," mom says.
+
+"Really, mom?" Lila asks.
+
+"Really, my love. Now, let's go home and have some hot chocolate. How does that sound?" mom says.
+
+"Yummy, mom. Thank you, mom," Lila and Tom say.
+
+They hug mom and get in the car. They look out the window and see the cloud moving. The sun peeks out and makes the sky clear and blue. They see their shadows again, waving at them.

+
+"Look, Ben, I made a body with sand. It has a head, two arms, two legs and a smile," Anna says.
+
+"Wow, Anna, that is a good body. Can I help you?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, you can help me. Let's make a hat and a scarf for the body. It is cold today," Anna says.
+
+They work together and make a hat and a scarf with leaves and sticks. They put them on the body. The body looks happy.
+
+"Anna, Ben, it is time to go home. Come here, please," their moms say.
+
+"OK, mom, we are coming," Anna and Ben say.
+
+They run to their moms. They forget the body in the sand. They say goodbye and go home.
+
+The next day, Anna and Ben go to the park again. They want to see the body. But when they get there, they are sad. The body is gone. The wind and the rain have washed it away. There is only sand.
+
+"Where is the body, Anna? Where is the hat and the scarf?" Ben says.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. I think the wind and the rain took them. We forgot the body. We did not take it with us," Anna says.

+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was barking and running after a ball.
+
+"Look, Sara, a dog!" Tom said. "Do you like dogs?"
+
+"Yes, I like dogs. They are soft and friendly. Do you know that dog?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, I don't know that dog. Maybe he belongs to someone here. Can we pet him?" Tom said.
+
+They walked towards the dog, but the dog did not see them. He was too busy chasing the ball. He ran very fast and did not look where he was going. He bumped into Sara and Tom and made them fall. They fell on the grass and hurt their knees and elbows.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara and Tom cried. "That hurts! That dog is terrible!"
+
+The dog stopped and looked at them. He recognized them from before. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He wanted to say sorry and play with them. He did not mean to make them fall.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Sara and Tom said. "You are wet and dirty! Go away!"
+
+The dog did not understand. He thought they were happy to see him. He barked and jumped around them. He wanted to have fun.
+
+Sara and Tom were not happy. They were angry and scared. They wanted the dog to leave them alone. They shouted for help.
+
+"Help, help, help!" Sara and Tom shouted. "Someone, please help us!"
+
+A man came running. He was the dog's owner. He had been looking for him. He saw Sara and Tom on the ground and the dog near them. He understood what happened.
+
+"I'm so sorry, kids. Are you okay?" the man said. "My dog is very playful, but he does not know his own strength. He did not want to hurt you. He just wanted to say hello."
+
+He grabbed the dog's collar and pulled him away. He apologized again and took the dog with him. He said he would be more careful next time.
+
+Sara and Tom got up and dusted themselves off. They checked their knees and elbows. They had some scratches and bruises, but nothing serious. They were still mad at the dog, but they were also glad he was gone.
+
+"Let's go home, Sara. I don't want to play here anymore." Tom said.
+
+"Me neither, Tom. That was a bad dog. He made us have a bad fall." Sara said.
+
+They held hands and walked home. They told their mom what happened. She hugged them and gave them some ice and band-aids. She said they were brave and strong. She said they should be careful around strange dogs. She said she loved them.
+
+Sara and Tom felt better. They forgot about the terrible dog and the terrible fall. They played with their toys and read some books. They had a good afternoon.
+Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play outside. They liked to dig in the dirt, splash in the puddles, and chase the bugs. They did not like to take baths or clean their clothes. They thought they looked fine and smelled good.
+
+One day, their mom told them they had to get ready for a surprise. She said a special person was coming to visit them. She said they had to wash their faces, comb their hair, and put on their best clothes. Sam and Ben did not want to do that. They wanted to keep playing outside. They thought the surprise was not worth it.
+
+They ran away from their mom and hid behind the shed. They hoped their mom would not find them. They whispered to each other, "Who do you think the person is? Maybe it is a clown, or a magician, or a pirate. Maybe they will bring us toys, or candy, or treasure."
+
+But their mom did find them. She was not happy. She said, "Sam and Ben, you are filthy! Look at your hands, your faces, your clothes. You cannot meet the person like this. You have to come with me and get cleaned up. Now!"
+
+Sam and Ben followed their mom, but they were not happy. They thought the surprise was ruined. They thought the person would not like them. They thought they would miss all the fun.
+
+But they were wrong. When they got to the house, they saw a big car parked outside. They saw a man get out of the car. He had a big smile and a big suitcase. He looked at them and said, "Hello, Sam and Ben. I am your uncle Jack. I have come to visit you from far away. I have brought you some gifts. Do you want to see them?"
+
+Sam and Ben were surprised. They had never met their uncle Jack before. They had only seen his pictures and heard his stories. They liked him right away. They ran to him and hugged him. They said, "Hello, uncle Jack. We are happy to see you. Thank you for the gifts. We want to see them."
+
+Their mom was happy too. She said, "Sam and Ben, this is the surprise I told you about. This is the special person who came to visit you. He is your uncle Jack. He is my brother. He loves you very much. He will stay with us for a few days. We will have a lot of fun together."
+
+Sam and Ben were happy too. They forgot about their dirt, their puddles, and their bugs. They wanted to spend time with their uncle Jack. They wanted to hear his stories, see his gifts, and play with him. They thought he was the best surprise ever.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to pretend they are lions. They run and jump and roar. They make their hands into claws and chase each other.
+
+"Roar! I am the king of the jungle!" Tom says.
+
+"Roar! I am the queen of the jungle!" Lily says.
+
+They have fun and laugh.
+
+But then, Tom feels something on his leg. It is a bug. It bites him. It hurts. It makes him itch.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom says. He stops playing. He scratches his leg.
+
+Lily sees him. She runs to him.
+
+"What is wrong, Tom?" Lily asks.
+
+"A bug bit me. It is bad. It makes me itch." Tom says.
+
+Lily looks at his leg. She sees a red spot. She feels sorry for him.
+
+"I have an idea. Come with me." Lily says.
+
+She takes him to the water fountain. She turns it on. She puts his leg under the water. The water is cold. It makes him feel better.
+
+"Does it still itch?" Lily asks.
+
+"A little. But not so much. Thank you, Lily." Tom says.
+
+They hug. They are friends.
+
+They go back to playing. They are ready to roar again. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were animals. Lily was a lion and Tom was a zebra. Lily chased Tom around the trees and the flowers.
+
+"Roar! I will catch you, zebra!" Lily said.
+
+"No, no, you can't catch me, lion! I am too fast!" Tom said.
+
+They ran and ran until they came to the fence. The fence was big and had sharp wires on top. Tom saw a hole in the fence. He thought he could escape through the hole.
+
+"Look, lion, I found a way out! Bye-bye!" Tom said. He tried to squeeze through the hole.
+
+But the hole was too small and the wires were too sharp. Tom felt a pain in his leg. He had cut himself on the wire. He cried out loud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Help, help, help!"
+
+Lily heard Tom's cry. She stopped chasing him and ran to the fence. She saw Tom stuck in the hole. She saw blood on his leg. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"Tom, Tom, are you okay? Don't cry, I will help you!" Lily said.
+
+She looked around and saw a big stick. She picked up the stick and used it to push the wires away. She made the hole bigger and more open. She pulled Tom out of the hole. She hugged him and said sorry.
+
+"Tom, I am sorry I chased you. I didn't mean to hurt you. You are my friend, not my food. Are you okay?" Lily said.
+
+Tom hugged her back and said thank you.
+
+"Lily, thank you for helping me. You are a good lion and a good friend. I am okay, it is just a scratch. Let's go back to the house and get a band-aid." Tom said.
+
+They walked back to the house, holding hands. They were not animals anymore. They were just Lily and Tom, two friends who liked to play.
+Anna was a little girl who liked to ask many questions. She wanted to learn about everything in the world. She asked her mom, her dad, her teacher, and her friends. But sometimes they did not know the answers, or they were too busy, or they did not like her questions.
+
+One day, Anna found a big book in the library. It had a picture of an owl on the cover. She opened the book and saw many words and pictures inside. She could not read all the words, but she liked the pictures. She saw animals, plants, stars, and people. She wondered what the book was about.
+
+She took the book to the librarian and asked, "What is this book?"
+
+The librarian smiled and said, "This is a book of wisdom. It tells you many things about the world and how to live well. But it is not easy to understand. You have to test yourself and think hard to learn from it."
+
+Anna was curious and excited. She said, "Can I borrow this book?"
+
+The librarian nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. This book is very old and fat. It is heavy and fragile. You have to treat it with respect and care."
+
+Anna thanked the librarian and carried the book to her home. She was eager to test herself and learn from the book of wisdom. She did not know that the book had a secret. The owl on the cover was not just a picture. It was a magic owl that could talk and watch. And it was waiting for the right person to open the book and listen to its voice.
+Tom and Jen are twins. They like to play games. One day, they play a game of fake sleep. They take turns to lie down on the sofa and pretend to sleep. The other one has to try to wake them up.
+
+"Jen, Jen, wake up!" Tom says. He shakes Jen's arm. He tickles her foot. He makes funny noises. But Jen does not move. She keeps her eyes closed. She is very good at fake sleep.
+
+"Tom, Tom, wake up!" Jen says. She pulls Tom's hair. She pinches his nose. She sings a loud song. But Tom does not move. He keeps his mouth shut. He is very good at fake sleep.
+
+They play for a long time. They have fun. They forget about the time. They do not hear their mom call them for dinner. They do not see the sun go down. They do not feel the cold.
+
+Soon, they are not fake sleeping anymore. They are really sleeping. They snore softly. They dream of more games.
+
+Their mom comes to the living room. She sees them on the sofa. She smiles. She covers them with a blanket. She kisses them good night.

+
+"Yes, please!" Ben says. He likes the funny bunny too. He takes the bunny and makes it hop on the floor. He makes the bunny say "Hello, I am a funny bunny!"
+

+
+"Can we have some ice cream?" Ben asks. He likes ice cream very much.
+
+"Maybe later," Sara says. "Let's watch the truck for a while."
+
+They sit on a bench and watch the truck. The truck passes by them and stops. The driver gets out and sees Sara and Ben.
+
+"Hello, kids," the driver says. "Do you like my truck?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Sara and Ben say. "What is the cone for?"
+
+"The cone is for measuring how much dirt I have," the driver says. "It helps me do my job."
+
+"That's cool," Sara says. "Can we see the cone?"
+
+"Sure, but be careful," the driver says. "It's very big and heavy."
+
+He lifts them up and shows them the cone. Sara and Ben touch the cone and feel how hard and smooth it is.
+
+"Thank you, mister," Sara and Ben say. "Your truck is awesome."
+
+"You're welcome, kids," the driver says. "Have fun in the park."
+
+He puts them down and gets back in the truck. He waves to them and drives away.
+
+Sara and Ben wave back and smile. They had a fun time watching the truck and seeing the cone.
+
+"Can we have some ice cream now?" Ben asks again.
+
+"Okay, fine," Sara says. "But only if you share with me."
+
+They run to the ice cream stand and buy a cone each. They enjoy their ice cream and their day in the park.
+Anna was a beautiful girl who liked to play dress-up. She had many clothes and hats and shoes in her big box. One day, she found a veil in the box. It was white and soft and had flowers on it. She put it on her head and looked in the mirror. She felt like a princess.
+
+She wanted to show her veil to her friend, Lily. She ran outside with the veil on her head. She saw Lily in the garden. Lily was making marks on the ground with a stick. She was drawing a picture of a sun and a tree and a bird.
+
+"Look, Lily, look at my veil!" Anna said. She twirled around and smiled. "Do you like it?"

+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. They have a big folder with many colors of paper. They share the folder and the crayons.
+
+One day, Lily wants to make a picture of a flower. She takes a pink paper from the folder. Ben wants to make a picture of a car. He takes a blue paper from the folder. But then he sees Lily's pink paper and he likes it more. He says to Lily, "Can I have your pink paper? It is prettier than my blue paper."
+
+Lily says, "No, Ben. This is my paper. I want to make a flower. You have your own paper. You can make a car."
+
+Ben and Lily disagree. They both want the pink paper. They start to pull the paper from each other. They make the paper tear. They make a loud noise. They make a mess.
+
+Their teacher hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the torn paper and the crayons on the floor. She sees Ben and Lily with angry faces. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over a paper?"
+
+Ben and Lily tell their teacher what happened. They both say they want the pink paper. The teacher says, "You are both wrong. You should not fight over a paper. You should be polite and share. There are many papers in the folder. You can both find a paper you like. And you can both make a picture of what you want. But first, you have to say sorry to each other and clean up the mess."
+
+Ben and Lily feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They say sorry to their teacher. They pick up the crayons and the paper. They put them back in the folder. They find a new paper for their pictures. Ben finds a red paper. He likes it more than the blue paper. Lily finds a yellow paper. She likes it more than the pink paper. They make their pictures. They show them to each other. They say, "Your picture is nice. I like it." They smile. They are friends again.
+Lily liked to play with her toy phone. She liked to ring her friends and talk to them. She had a lot of friends, like Bear, Bunny, and Duck. But she did not like Tiger. Tiger was ugly and mean. He had big teeth and sharp claws. He always took her toys and made her cry.
+
+One day, Lily was playing with her phone in her room. She rang Bear and said, "Hello, Bear. Do you want to play with me?" Bear said, "Yes, Lily. I want to play with you. What do you want to play?" Lily said, "I want to play dress up. I have a lot of hats and scarves and shoes. We can be anything we want."
+
+But then, Lily heard a loud knock on her door. She said, "Who is it?" The voice said, "It's me, Tiger. I want to play with you." Lily felt scared. She did not want to play with Tiger. She said, "No, Tiger. Go away. I don't want to play with you. You are ugly and mean." Tiger said, "No, Lily. I won't go away. I want to play with you. And I want your phone. Give me your phone."
+
+Lily said, "No, Tiger. It's my phone. You can't have it." She held her phone tight and ran to her closet. She hid behind her clothes and hoped Tiger would not find her. She whispered to Bear, "Help me, Bear. Tiger is here. He wants my phone. He is ugly and mean."
+
+Bear said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will help you. I have an idea. Listen to me." He told Lily his idea. Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "OK, Bear. I will do what you say."
+
+Lily waited for Tiger to open the closet. She heard him say, "Where are you, Lily? I know you are here. I can smell you. Come out, come out, or I will make you come out." He opened the closet and saw Lily. He said, "There you are, Lily. Give me your phone. Now."
+
+But Lily did not give him her phone. She said, "No, Tiger. I have a surprise for you. Look at my phone. It's ringing. Do you know who it is?" Tiger said, "No, Lily. I don't know who it is. And I don't care. Give me your phone."
+
+Lily said, "No, Tiger. You should care. Because it's your mommy. She is very angry with you. She knows you are ugly and mean. She knows you take toys and make kids cry. She wants to talk to you. She wants to punish you. Do you want to talk to her?"
+
+Tiger felt scared. He did not want to talk to his mommy. He knew his mommy was very angry with him. He said, "No, Lily. I don't want to talk to her. Please, don't make me talk to her. Please, don't ring her."
+
+Lily said, "Too late, Tiger. I already rang her. Here, take the phone. Say hello to your mommy." She threw the phone at Tiger and ran out of the closet. She ran to the door and opened it. She saw Bear waiting for her. He said, "Good job, Lily. You are very brave and smart. You tricked Tiger. He is ugly and mean. He deserves to talk to his mommy."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you, Bear. You are very kind and clever. You helped me. You are my friend. I like you." She hugged Bear and smiled. They heard Tiger crying in the closet. He said, "Mommy, mommy, please don't be mad at me. Please don't punish me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
+
+Lily and Bear laughed and said, "Bye, bye, Tiger. Have fun with your mommy." They closed the door and went to play dress up. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. They forgot about Tiger. He was ugly and mean. They did not like him.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big puddle of mud. They wanted to jump in it.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "It looks fun!"
+
+"No, Tom, we have to stay away!" Lily said. "Mum said mud is disgusting. It makes us dirty and sick."
+
+Tom did not listen. He ran to the puddle and jumped in. He splashed and laughed. He felt the mud on his feet, legs and face. He thought it was cool.
+
+Lily watched him. She felt wonder. She wanted to try it too. But she also remembered Mum's words. She did not know what to do.
+
+"Come on, Lily, join me!" Tom said. "It's not disgusting, it's fun!"
+
+Lily looked at Tom. He was covered in mud. He had mud in his hair, his eyes and his mouth. He looked funny, but also gross.
+
+Lily shook her head. She said, "No, Tom, I don't want to. You look disgusting. Mum will be angry. I will stay here."
+
+Tom shrugged. He said, "Suit yourself. I like mud. It makes me happy."
+
+He jumped in the puddle again. He did not care about Mum. He did not care about Lily. He only cared about mud. He was happy.
+
+Lily waited for him. She felt sad. She missed Tom. She wished he would stay with her. She wished he would not like mud so much. She wished they could play together. She was not happy.
+Sara and Ben liked to play outside in the sun. They ran and jumped and laughed. Sometimes they teased each other. Sara would pull Ben's hair and Ben would tickle Sara's feet. They had fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big shadow on the wall. It looked like a monster. It had horns and claws and teeth. Sara and Ben were scared. They hid behind a bush and whispered.
+
+"What is that?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it is a bad animal."
+
+They peeked from the bush and saw the shadow move. It growled and snarled. Sara and Ben screamed and ran away.
+
+They ran to their house and told their mom. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it was not a monster. It was just a dog."
+
+"A dog?" Sara and Ben said.
+
+"Yes, a dog. A big, filthy dog. He was playing with a stick and made the shadow on the wall. He was not mean, he was just noisy."
+
+Sara and Ben felt silly. They had been scared of a dog. They looked at each other and giggled.
+
+"Maybe we can play with the dog next time," Sara said.
+
+"Maybe we can tease him a little," Ben said.
+
+They smiled and went to have a snack. They were not afraid of shadows anymore.
+Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat spaghetti for lunch. Mom said she had some spaghetti in the fridge. She told them to wait in the kitchen while she heated it up.
+
+Ben and Lily did not want to wait. They were very hungry. They saw the fridge and opened it. They found a big bowl of spaghetti. It looked yummy. They took it out and put it on the table.
+
+"Let's eat it now," Ben said.
+
+"But Mom said to wait," Lily said.
+
+"Mom won't know. It's just a little bit," Ben said.
+
+He took a fork and stabbed some spaghetti. He lifted it to his mouth. It was heavy and sticky. He smelled something bad. He made a face.
+
+"Yuck! This spaghetti is rotten!" he said.
+
+He spat it out and dropped the fork. The rotten spaghetti fell on the floor. It made a mess.
+
+Lily screamed. She saw worms and mold in the spaghetti. She felt sick. She ran to the sink and threw up.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the rotten spaghetti, the worms, the mold, the mess, and the children. She was angry and scared.
+
+"What have you done?" she yelled. "This spaghetti was for the trash, not for eating! It was very old and bad! You could get sick!"
+
+She grabbed Ben and Lily and took them to the bathroom. She made them wash their mouths and brush their teeth. She called the doctor and told him what happened.
+
+The doctor said they had to go to the hospital. He said they might have eaten something poisonous. He said they had to get shots and stay in bed.
+
+Ben and Lily cried. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had waited for the good spaghetti. They learned a hard lesson. Eating rotten spaghetti was a big mistake.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many pears on it. They want to eat the pears. They are hungry and the pears look yummy.
+
+"Let's get some pears!" Lila says. "We can climb the tree and pick them."
+
+"OK!" Tom says. "But be careful. The tree is high and the pears are far."
+
+They climb the tree. They reach for the pears. They are happy. They find a big, ripe pear. It is green and red. It looks cool and sweet.
+
+"I want this pear!" Lila says. "It is the best pear ever!"
+
+"No, I want this pear!" Tom says. "It is my pear!"
+
+They both pull the pear. They fight for the pear. They are angry and loud. They forget to hold the tree. They lose their balance.
+
+They fall.
+
+They fall from the tree. They fall to the ground. They hit the ground hard. They hurt themselves. They cry and scream. The pear falls too. It breaks and splatters. It is wasted.
+
+They are sad and sorry. They wish they did not fight. They wish they shared the pear. They wish they were nice to each other. But it is too late. They have no pear. They have no fun. They have no friend. They have a bad day.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But sometimes they do not behave. They fight and make noise. Mom and Dad are not happy.

+Anna and Ben do not listen. They cut paper and throw it in the air. They laugh and scream. They do not behave.
+
+Grandma is sad and angry. She goes to the living room and sees the paper everywhere. She sees Anna and Ben with scissors in their hands.

+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They see Grandma's face and feel bad. They say, "Sorry, Grandma. We love you. We will behave. We will clean up."
+
+Grandma hugs them and says, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. But you have to be careful and respectful. Scissors are not toys. You have to ask before you use them. And you have to be grateful for what you have. Cookies and juice are treats, not rights. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Grandma. We understand. We are grateful for you and for cookies and juice. We will behave."
+
+Grandma smiles and says, "Good. Now, let's clean up and then we can have some more stories and songs. And maybe, if you are good, some more cookies and juice."

+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would throw it, catch it, roll it, and bounce it. Sometimes they would share it with their friends, but sometimes they wanted it for themselves.
+
+One day, they were playing with the ball in the park, when a big dog came running towards them. The dog wanted to play with the ball too. He barked and jumped and tried to grab it with his teeth. Tom and Lily were scared of the dog. They ran away and hid behind a tree.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tom shouted. "This is our ball!"
+
+But the dog did not listen. He chased the ball and tore it with his claws. The ball popped and deflated. The dog was happy. He wagged his tail and ran away with the ball.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They looked at their broken ball and cried. They had no more ball to play with.
+
+"Mommy, mommy!" they called. "The dog took our ball!"
+
+Their mommy heard them and came to see what happened. She saw the ball and the dog and hugged them.
+
+"I'm sorry, my loves," she said. "The dog was naughty. He should not have taken your ball."
+
+She wiped their tears and kissed them.
+
+"But don't worry," she said. "We can get a new ball. A bigger and better one. And you still have each other. You are twins. You are family. And you are very attractive. You have beautiful eyes and hair and smiles. I love you very much."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and hugged their mommy. They felt better. They knew their mommy was right. They were family. And they were attractive. And they would always remain together.
+Sara and Ben were playing with clay. They liked to make shapes and animals with the soft and sticky stuff. Sara made a big ball and said, "This is the earth. It has many colors and places." Ben made a long snake and said, "This is a dragon. It can fly and breathe fire."
+
+They put their clay on the table and looked at each other. They wanted to make something more. Sara had an idea. She said, "Let's add our clay together and make a new thing. Maybe a unicorn or a dinosaur." Ben nodded and smiled. He liked to make new things.
+
+They took their clay and started to mix and shape it. They added more and more clay until they had a big lump. They made a head, a body, four legs, a tail, and a horn. They said, "This is a unisaur. It is rare and magical. It can run and roar and fly."
+
+They were very proud of their unisaur. They put it on the shelf and went to get some water. They did not see that their cat, Fluffy, was watching them. Fluffy was curious and hungry. He jumped on the shelf and sniffed the unisaur. He thought it was a tasty snack. He bit the horn and pulled it off.
+
+Sara and Ben came back and saw what Fluffy had done. They were very sad and angry. They said, "Fluffy, no! You ruined our unisaur! It was rare and magical. Now it is broken and ugly." Fluffy meowed and ran away. He did not care.
+
+Sara and Ben looked at their unisaur. They felt like crying. They had worked hard to make it. They said, "What can we do? Can we fix it?" They thought for a while. Then they had another idea. They said, "Let's add something else to our unisaur. Maybe a wing or a flower." They smiled and took some more clay. They said, "Maybe it will be even more rare and magical." They started to make something new.
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the garden. They liked to build tall structures with different shapes and colors. They worked together and had fun.

+
+But then, a big dog came running into the garden. It was barking and wagging its tail. It saw the structures and wanted to play with them. It ran towards Lily's tower and pushed it with its nose.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried, as her tower fell down. The blocks scattered everywhere. She was sad and angry. She looked at the dog and shouted, "Bad dog! Go away!"
+
+The dog did not understand. It thought Lily was playing with it. It ran towards Ben's tower and pushed it too. Ben's tower also fell down. Ben was also sad and angry. He looked at the dog and shouted, "Bad dog! Go away!"
+
+The dog still did not understand. It thought Ben was playing with it too. It wagged its tail and barked louder. It wanted to push more structures.
+
+But then, Lily and Ben's mom came out of the house. She saw the mess and the dog. She knew the dog belonged to their neighbor. She called the dog by its name, "Rex! Rex! Come here!"
+
+The dog heard its name and recognized mom's voice. It stopped barking and running. It went to mom and licked her hand. Mom was calm and kind. She petted the dog and said, "Rex, you are a good dog, but you can't push the structures. They are not toys. They are Lily and Ben's creations. You made them sad. You have to say sorry."
+
+The dog looked at Lily and Ben. It saw their faces and felt sorry. It wagged its tail and licked their faces. It wanted to say sorry.
+
+Lily and Ben saw the dog's face and felt sorry too. They knew the dog did not mean to be bad. It just wanted to play. They smiled and hugged the dog. They said, "It's okay, Rex. We forgive you. You can play with us, but not with our structures."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's very nice of you, Lily and Ben. You are good kids. Why don't you build a new structure together, and let Rex watch? Maybe he can learn something from you."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We will." They picked up the blocks and started to build a new structure. Rex sat down and watched. He was calm and happy. He learned to be careful with the structures. He learned to be a good friend.
+Ben was a gifted boy who loved to draw. He could draw anything he saw or imagined. He liked to draw animals, plants, stars, and automobiles. He had many crayons and papers to make his drawings.

+
+They took him to the car and opened the trunk. Inside, there was a big box with a bow. They said it was a present for him. Ben was very happy and curious. He opened the box and saw a beautiful kite. It was red and blue and had a long tail. It looked like an automobile with wings.
+
+Ben thanked his mom and dad and ran to the hill with his kite. He found a spot where the wind was strong and threw his kite in the air. He held the string and watched his kite soar. It flew higher and higher, like a bird. Ben felt like he was flying too. He smiled and laughed. He had the best day ever.

Sam said, "No, Tom. It is mine. You have the small bucket." Tom was angry. He hated Sam. He wanted to make Sam sad.
+
+Tom had a plan. He saw a big rock near the sand. He said, "Look, Sam. A big rock. Let's see who can throw it far." Sam liked to throw rocks. He said, "OK, Tom. I will go first."

+
+Sam was sad. He saw Tom run away with the big bucket. He wanted to cry. He threw the rock, but he missed. The rock hit a tree. The tree was old and weak. It made a loud noise and fell down. The tree fell on Tom and the big bucket. Tom was scared. He dropped the big bucket and screamed. The big bucket broke into pieces. Sam ran to Tom. He said, "Are you OK, Tom? I am sorry. I did not mean to hit the tree." Tom was hurt. He said, "I am sorry, too, Sam. I was mean. I did not mean to take your big bucket. You are not foolish. I am foolish." Sam hugged Tom. He said, "It is OK, Tom. I love you. You are my brother." Tom hugged Sam. He said, "I love you, too, Sam. You are my brother." They forgot about the bucket.

+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They do not want to make Mommy sad. They want to make her happy. They also want a cookie. They decide to try the broccoli.

+One day, she wanted to make a big square with her blocks. She looked for all the blocks that had four sides and were the same size. She found many blocks like that, but they were not all the same color. She wanted her square to be all blue, because blue was her favorite color.
+
+She asked her brother Ben, who was playing with cars, if he had any blue blocks. He said no, he only had red and yellow blocks. He did not like blue. Anna was frustrated. She asked her sister Cara, who was drawing with crayons, if she had any blue blocks. She said yes, she had some, but she was using them to make a boat. She did not want to give them to Anna. Anna was more frustrated.
+
+She saw her mom, who was reading a book, and ran to her. She said, "Mom, mom, please, I need blue blocks. I want to make a big square. Please, can you help me?" Her mom smiled and put down her book. She said, "Of course, Anna, I can help you. Let's go and look for some blue blocks together. Maybe we can find some in your toy box, or in the closet, or in the basement. And if we don't find enough, maybe we can ask Ben and Cara to share some with us. What do you think?"
+
+Anna nodded and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom, you are the best. I love you." Her mom said, "I love you too, Anna. Now, let's go and make that big square." They went to look for blue blocks, and Anna was happy. She was not frustrated anymore.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. The dog is friendly. He wags his tail.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Lily says. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog barks. He likes Lily and Tom. He wants to play with them.
+
+"Let's play a joke on the dog," Tom says. "We can hide behind that tree and call him."
+
+"OK," Lily says. "That sounds fun."
+
+They run behind the tree. They wait for the dog to come. They say, "Here, dog! Come here!"
+
+The dog hears them. He looks around. He does not see them. He is confused. He runs to the tree. He sniffs and sniffs.
+
+"Surprise!" Lily and Tom say. They jump out from behind the tree. They giggle.
+
+The dog is surprised. He barks. He is not angry. He is happy. He licks Lily and Tom. He thinks they are funny.
+
+Lily and Tom are glad. They hug the dog. They say, "You are a good dog. We like you."
+
+They play more with the dog. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Max were playing on the lawn. They liked to run and jump and roll on the green grass. They also liked to look at the flowers and the bugs and the birds.
+
+"Look, Lily, a butterfly!" Max said, pointing at a yellow and black insect. "It is so pretty!"
+
+Lily nodded and ran after the butterfly. She wanted to touch it and see how it felt. But the butterfly flew away and Lily could not catch it. She felt sad and sat down on the lawn.
+
+"Don't be sad, Lily," Max said, sitting next to her. "There are many other things to see and do. Let's relax and enjoy the sun."
+
+Lily looked at Max and smiled. He was right. The sun was warm and bright and made her feel happy. She lay down on the lawn and closed her eyes. She felt the grass tickle her skin and the breeze blow her hair. She heard the birds sing and the bees buzz.
+
+"This is nice, Max," Lily said. "I like to relax on the lawn. It is normal and fun."
+
+Max agreed and lay down next to her. They relaxed on the lawn and felt peaceful and calm. They forgot about the butterfly and everything else. They just enjoyed the moment.
+Lily loves her pony. Her pony is purple and soft. She likes to brush her pony's hair and make it shiny. She has a big box of ribbons and clips for her pony.
+
+One day, Lily wants to give her pony a new look. She finds a pair of scissors in her mom's drawer. She thinks scissors are for cutting hair. She takes the scissors and goes to her pony.
+
+"Hello, pony. Do you want a haircut?" Lily asks. Her pony nods and neighs. Lily smiles and starts to cut her pony's hair. She cuts it short and uneven. She thinks it looks good.
+
+But her mom does not think so. She sees Lily and her pony and gasps. "Lily, what have you done?" she says. "You have ruined your pony's hair!"
+
+Lily is confused. She does not understand why her mom is angry. She says, "But mom, I gave her a haircut. She likes it. See, she is happy."
+
+Her mom shakes her head. She says, "Lily, scissors are not for cutting toys. They are for cutting paper or fabric. You have hurt your pony. She is not happy. She is sad."
+
+Lily looks at her pony. She sees that her pony's hair is messy and ugly. She feels sorry for her pony. She says, "I'm sorry, pony. I did not mean to hurt you. I wanted to make you pretty."
+
+Her mom hugs her. She says, "It's okay, Lily. I know you love your pony. But you have to be careful with scissors. They are sharp and dangerous. You could have cut yourself or your pony. Next time, ask me before you use them."
+
+Lily nods. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I will ask you next time. Can we fix her hair?"
+
+Her mom says, "Yes, we can. We can use some glue and some of your ribbons and clips. We can make her hair look nice again. But it will take some time to grow back. You have to be patient and gentle with her."
+
+Lily says, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you and I love my pony."
+
+Her mom says, "I love you too, Lily. And I love your pony. She is a very special pony. Even if she is purple."
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big muffin on the table. It smelled good and looked yummy. They both wanted to eat it, but they did not know how to share it.
+
+"I saw it first, so it is mine!" said Lily.
+
+"No, I saw it first, so it is mine!" said Ben.
+
+They started to argue and pull the muffin. They were very grumpy and did not listen to each other.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was Mom, who came into the room.
+
+"What are you doing, children?" she asked.
+
+"We found a muffin and we want to eat it, but we don't know how to share it," said Lily and Ben.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I have an idea. Why don't you mark the muffin with a knife and cut it into two pieces? Then, you can each have half of it and enjoy it together."
+
+Lily and Ben thought that was a good idea. They took a knife and marked the muffin. They cut it into two pieces and gave one to each other. They said sorry for being grumpy and thanked Mom for her help.
+
+They ate the muffin and it was very tasty. They were happy and shared a hug. They learned that sharing is caring and that it is better to be kind than to fight.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play on the farm. They liked to see the animals and feed them. One day, they saw a big pig in a pen. The pig was pink and fat and had a curly tail.
+
+"Look at the pig!" Tom said. "He is so big and funny. I want to touch him."
+
+Sue was nervous. She did not like the pig. She thought he was scary and loud. She said, "No, Tom, do not touch the pig. He might bite you. He might eat you."
+
+Tom did not listen to Sue. He climbed over the fence and ran to the pig. He reached out his hand to pet the pig. The pig saw Tom and snorted. He opened his mouth and showed his teeth.
+
+"Help!" Tom screamed. "The pig wants to eat me!"
+
+Sue heard Tom and ran to help him. She grabbed his arm and pulled him back over the fence. The pig chased them, but could not get out of the pen. Tom and Sue ran away from the pig and did not look back.
+
+They were both scared and sorry. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with animals and to listen to their friends. They said, "We will never touch the pig again. We will be good and safe."
+Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to cook. They cooked eggs, toast, soup and cake. They cooked for their mom and dad, who said they were good cooks. But Sam and Ben were also competitive. They wanted to be the best cook in the family.
+
+One day, they decided to have a cook-off. They each chose a recipe from a book and went to the kitchen. They got the pots, pans, spoons and bowls. They got the flour, sugar, butter and eggs. They got the cheese, ham, bread and tomatoes. They got the milk, chocolate, cream and cherries. They got everything they needed to cook.
+
+They started to cook. Sam made a cheese and ham pie. Ben made a chocolate and cherry cake. They worked hard and fast. They did not help each other. They did not share. They did not talk. They only cooked.
+
+They finished cooking. They put their dishes on the table. They called their mom and dad. They said, "Look what we cooked! Who is the best cook?"
+
+Their mom and dad came to the table. They looked at the dishes. They looked at Sam and Ben. They looked sad and angry. They said, "What did you do? You made a big mess! You wasted a lot of food! You did not clean up! You did not work together! You did not have fun! You are not good cooks!"
+
+Sam and Ben felt bad. They looked at their dishes. They looked at the kitchen. They looked at the landscape outside. They saw the sun, the sky, the trees and the flowers. They saw the birds, the bees, the squirrels and the rabbits. They saw how beautiful and happy everything was. They wished they were like that.
+
+They said, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We were silly and selfish. We wanted to be the best cook, but we forgot to be good brothers. We forgot to enjoy cooking. We forgot to love each other."
+
+Their mom and dad hugged them. They said, "We forgive you, Sam and Ben. We love you, no matter what. But you have to learn from your mistake. You have to clean up the kitchen. You have to share the food. You have to help each other. You have to have fun. You have to be good cooks and good brothers."
+
+Sam and Ben nodded. They said, "We will, mom and dad. We will." They started to clean up the kitchen. They started to share the food. They started to help each other. They started to have fun. They started to be good cooks and good brothers. But it was too late. The cheese and ham pie was cold and hard. The chocolate and cherry cake was burnt and bitter. They did not taste good. They did not make anyone happy. They had a bad ending.
+Lila and Ben are adventurous kids. They like to explore new places and find new things. One day, they go to the park with their mom. They see a big hill with a lot of trees and rocks.
+
+"Can we go up there, mom?" Lila asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful and stay together," mom says.
+
+Lila and Ben run up the hill. They see a lot of birds and bugs and flowers. They also see a big hole in the ground.
+
+"What is that?" Ben wonders.
+
+"Maybe it is a cave," Lila says. "Let's go inside and see."
+
+They crawl into the hole. It is dark and cold and wet. They hear a strange noise.
+
+"Roar!"
+
+Lila and Ben are scared. They see a big bear coming out of the hole. The bear is angry and hungry.
+
+"Run!" Lila tells Ben.
+
+They run out of the hole as fast as they can. The bear chases them. They see mom waiting at the tip of the hill.
+
+"Mom, help!" they scream.
+
+Mom sees the bear and grabs a stick. She waves the stick at the bear and shouts.
+
+"Go away, bear! Leave my kids alone!"
+
+The bear is afraid of mom and the stick. He runs back into the hole.
+
+Lila and Ben hug mom. They are safe and happy.
+
+"Thank you, mom. You are brave and strong," they say.
+
+Mom smiles and kisses them.
+
+"You are welcome, my loves. But next time, be more careful and don't go into strange holes. You never know what you might find."
+
+Lila and Ben nod. They learned their lesson. They are still adventurous, but they are also more smart and cautious. They love mom and mom loves them. They go home and tell dad about their adventure. Dad is proud and amazed. He gives them a big hug and a cookie. They have a good night and a good sleep. They dream of new adventures.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they saw a big jar of money on the shelf. It was their dad's money that he saved for a long time.
+
+"Wow, look at all the money!" Tom said. "I want some. Let's gather some and buy candy."
+
+"No, Tom, that's not our money. That's dad's money. He worked hard for it. We can't take it. That's selfish," Lily said.
+
+But Tom did not listen to Lily. He climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. He opened it and took some money. He put it in his pocket.
+
+"Tom, stop! You're being bad. Dad will be angry. Put the money back," Lily said.
+
+But Tom did not stop. He took more money. He was greedy. He wanted all the money for himself.
+
+Suddenly, the jar slipped from his hand and fell to the floor. It broke into pieces. The money scattered everywhere. Tom and Lily heard a loud noise.
+
+"What was that?" their dad said. He came into the room and saw the mess. He saw the broken jar and the money. He saw Tom and Lily.
+
+"Tom, Lily, what did you do?" he said. He was very upset.
+
+Tom and Lily felt scared. They knew they did something wrong. They looked at each other and said sorry. They learned their lesson. They learned not to be selfish and to respect other people's money.
+One day, Anna and Ben went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Anna found a big shell that was pink and shiny. She showed it to Ben and said, "Look, Ben, I found a pretty shell. Do you want to see what's inside?"
+
+Ben nodded and took the shell from Anna. He put it to his ear and listened. He heard a funny noise, like a snore. He opened the shell and saw a tiny crab sleeping inside. He was surprised and dropped the shell. The crab woke up and pinched Ben's finger. Ben cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow! The shell bit me!"
+
+Anna felt sorry for Ben and picked up the shell. She saw the crab and said, "It's not a shell, Ben, it's a crab. He was sleeping in the shell and you scared him. He didn't mean to hurt you. He was just trying to protect himself."
+
+She gave the shell and the crab back to Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't know there was a crab inside. Do you want to keep it as a pet?"
+
+Ben looked at the crab and saw that it was cute and small. He stopped crying and said, "It's okay, Anna, I'm not mad at you. I like the crab. He's funny and snory. Can we name him Snip?"
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Sure, Ben, we can name him Snip. He's our new friend. Let's find him a nice home in the sand."
+
+They dug a hole in the sand and put the shell and the crab inside. They gave him some seaweed and water and said, "Bye, Snip, have a good nap. We'll come back and visit you soon."
+
+Snip waved his claws and said, "Thank you, Anna and Ben, for being kind and gentle. You are good kids. I'm happy to be your friend."
+
+The end.
+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big glass in the park. It was shiny and round and had a handle. They wondered what it was for.
+
+"Maybe it is a magic glass," Lila said. "Maybe it can make us powerful."
+
+"Let's try it," Tom said. He took the glass and held it up to the sun. He saw bright colors and shapes in the glass. He felt happy and strong.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing," he said. "I can see everything. I am powerful."
+
+He did not want to share the glass with Lila. He wanted to keep it for himself.
+
+"Give me the glass, Tom," Lila said. "It is my turn."
+
+"No, it is mine," Tom said. "I found it first. Go away."
+
+He pushed Lila away and ran with the glass. Lila felt sad and angry. She chased after Tom.
+
+"Stop, Tom, stop," she said. "That is not nice. You are being selfish."
+
+Tom did not listen. He ran faster and faster. He did not see where he was going. He tripped over a rock and fell down. The glass flew out of his hand and broke on the ground. It shattered into many pieces.
+
+Tom cried out in pain and fear. He had cut his hand on the glass. He saw blood and felt hurt.
+
+"Help, help," he said. "I am sorry, Lila. I am sorry."
+
+Lila ran to him and helped him up. She wrapped her scarf around his hand. She was kind and gentle.
+
+"It is okay, Tom," she said. "I forgive you. But you should not have been greedy. The glass was not magic. It was just a glass. It did not make you powerful. It made you foolish."
+
+Tom nodded and hugged Lila. He learned his lesson. He said thank you to Lila and said sorry to the glass. He realized that friendship was more important than anything. He and Lila walked home together, holding hands. They were still friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran behind a big tree and found a branch on the ground. He picked it up and pretended it was a sword. He felt brave and strong.
+
+Lily looked around and saw Ben's shoes sticking out from behind the tree. She tiptoed closer and shouted, "I found you, Ben! You have to surrender!" She held out her hand and smiled.
+
+Ben did not want to surrender. He wanted to keep playing with his branch. He jumped out from behind the tree and waved his branch at Lily. He said, "No, you have to surrender! I have a sword and you don't!"
+
+Lily was scared and angry. She did not like Ben's branch. She thought it was sharp and dangerous. She said, "No, Ben, that's not fair! That's not a sword, that's a branch! You have to put it down and surrender!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He kept waving his branch at Lily. He thought it was fun and funny. He said, "No, Lily, you have to surrender! I have a sword and you don't!"
+
+Lily started to cry. She did not like Ben's game. She ran away and told their mom. Their mom came and saw Ben with his branch. She was not happy. She said, "Ben, what are you doing? That's not a sword, that's a branch! You could hurt someone with that! You have to say sorry to Lily and surrender your branch!"
+
+Ben felt guilty. He saw Lily's tears and mom's frown. He realized he was wrong. He said, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, mom. I was just playing. I surrender my branch." He gave his branch to mom and hugged Lily. Lily hugged him back and forgave him. Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Ben. Now let's go and play something else. Something nice and safe." They all went and played something else. Something nice and safe.
+Lily was a little bird who lived in a nest with her mom and dad. She liked to sing and play with her friends, but sometimes she felt restless. She wanted to see more of the big world outside her nest.
+
+One day, she saw a shiny thing in the sky. It was not the sun or the moon or a star. It was something else. She was curious and flew closer to see what it was. It was a big balloon with many colors. It looked like a rainbow.
+
+Lily flew around the balloon and touched it with her beak. It felt soft and smooth. She liked the balloon and wanted to keep it. She tried to pull it to her nest, but it was too big and heavy. She asked the balloon to come with her, but it did not answer. It just floated in the air.
+
+Then, a loud noise made Lily jump. It was a man who came out of a basket under the balloon. He saw Lily and smiled. He said hello and asked her what she was doing. Lily was scared and flew away. She did not know the man or his words. She wanted to go back to her nest.
+
+She flew fast and found her nest. Her mom and dad were there. They hugged her and asked her where she had been. Lily told them about the balloon and the man. They listened and nodded. They said she was brave and adventurous, but also warned her to be careful of strangers. They said the balloon and the man would soon disappear and go to another place. They said she could see more of the world when she was older and stronger.
+
+Lily felt happy and safe in her nest. She was still restless, but also grateful. She thanked her mom and dad and snuggled with them. She looked at the sky and saw the balloon one last time. She waved goodbye and closed her eyes. She dreamed of rainbows and balloons and the big world.
+Lily loved to wrap her toys in paper and ribbons. She liked to pretend they were gifts for her friends or for herself. She had many toys, more than she could play with. Her mom and dad gave her toys all the time, because they wanted her to be happy. Lily was a spoiled girl, but she did not know it.
+
+One day, Lily was wrapping her toys in her room. She had a big pile of paper and ribbons on the floor. She was very quiet, because she did not want anyone to see what she was doing. She wanted to surprise her mom and dad with her gifts. She thought they would be very happy and proud of her.
+
+But then, her brother Tom came into her room. He saw the pile of paper and ribbons, and he wanted to play with them. He grabbed some paper and tore it. He threw some ribbons in the air. He made a lot of noise and mess. Lily was very angry. She yelled at Tom and told him to go away. She said he was ruining her gifts and her fun.
+
+Tom did not listen. He liked to tease Lily and make her mad. He said she had too many toys and she was selfish. He said he would take some of her toys and give them to other kids who had none. He reached for one of her wrapped toys and tried to pull it away.
+
+Lily and Tom started to fight. They pulled and pushed and scratched and bit. They knocked over the pile of paper and ribbons. They made more noise and mess. They did not hear their mom and dad coming up the stairs. They did not see them opening the door. They did not notice their angry faces.
+
+Mom and dad were very upset. They saw the paper and ribbons and the toys and the fight. They said Lily and Tom were naughty and rude. They said they had to stop fighting and clean up the room. They said they had to share their toys and be nice to each other. They said they had to say sorry and hug. They said they had no more gifts for them until they learned to behave.
+
+Lily and Tom felt ashamed. They knew they had done wrong. They said sorry and hugged. They cleaned up the room and shared their toys. They tried to be quiet and good. They hoped their mom and dad would forgive them and love them. They learned that wrapping toys was not as important as wrapping love.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has swings, slides, and a big fountain. Anna and Ben think the fountain is impressive. It makes water go up and down and makes rainbows.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben go to the park with their moms. They run to the fountain and watch the water. They see a duck swimming in the fountain. The duck is yellow and brown. It quacks and splashes.
+
+"Look, a duck!" Anna says.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it will bite," Anna says.
+
+They go closer to the duck. The duck sees them and swims away. Anna and Ben follow it. They try to catch it with their hands. The duck is fast and smart. It dodges them and swims to the other side of the fountain.
+
+Anna and Ben are not happy. They want to touch the duck. They run around the fountain and try again. The duck is not happy either. It wants to be left alone. It quacks louder and louder.
+
+"Stop, stop!" the duck says. "You are scaring me. Go away!"
+
+Anna and Ben are surprised. They did not know the duck can talk. They stop and look at the duck.
+
+"Sorry, duck. We just wanted to say hello," Anna says.
+
+"We think you are impressive," Ben says.
+
+The duck is still angry. It swims closer to Anna and Ben. It pinches them with its beak. It pinches Anna's finger and Ben's nose. It hurts.
+
+"Ow, ow!" Anna and Ben say. They cry and run to their moms. Their moms hug them and kiss their boo-boos.
+
+The duck is happy. It has the fountain to itself. It quacks and splashes. It does not want any more visitors.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with water. They had a spray bottle and a hose. They sprayed water on the plants, on the dog and on each other. They laughed and got wet.
+
+One day, it was very cold outside. Tom and Lily wanted to play with water, but the hose was frozen. They could not spray water from the hose. They saw some ice on the ground. It was shiny and hard. They picked up some ice and threw it at each other. It was fun, but it hurt a little.
+
+Then they saw a big pile of snow. It was white and soft. They ran to the snow and made snowballs. They threw snowballs at each other and at the dog. The dog barked and chased them. They made a snowman with a carrot nose and a hat. They were happy.
+
+But then they saw their mom. She was not happy. She said they were dirty and wet. She said they had to go inside and change their clothes. She said they had to clean the spray bottle and the hose. She said they had to be careful with the ice and the snow. She said they could get sick or hurt.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They liked to play with water, ice and snow. They did not like to be dirty and wet. They did not like to clean and change. They said they were sorry to their mom. They hugged their mom and their dog. They went inside and did what their mom said. They hoped they could play with water, ice and snow again soon.
+Lisa and Ben were twins who loved pizza. They always asked their mom to make pizza for dinner. One day, mom said she had a surprise for them. She took them to a new pizza place that had a big sign that said "All You Can Eat".
+
+Lisa and Ben were very happy and enthusiastic. They ran inside and saw many kinds of pizza. They each took a big plate and filled it with pizza slices. They ate and ate until their tummies were full. Then they went back for more.
+
+"Are you sure you want more pizza?" mom asked. "You might get sick if you eat too much."
+
+"No, mom, we want more pizza!" Lisa and Ben said. They did not listen to mom. They repeat and repeat until they had no more room for pizza.
+
+Soon, Lisa and Ben felt very bad. They had a stomach ache and felt like throwing up. They ran to the bathroom and threw up all the pizza they had eaten. They felt very sorry and sad.
+
+Mom came to the bathroom and hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry you feel bad, but you should have listened to me. Eating too much pizza is not good for you. Next time, you should eat a little bit and enjoy it more. That way, you will not waste food and money, and you will not get sick."
+
+Lisa and Ben nodded and said, "We're sorry, mom. We learned our lesson. We will not repeat this mistake again. We love you, mom."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, my sweet twins. Now let's go home and rest. Maybe tomorrow we can have some soup and salad for dinner."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: Listen to your parents and do not overeat.
+Lily and Sam were very excited to see the fireworks. They put on their warm coats and hats and followed Mom and Dad to the park. There were many people and lights and noises. Lily and Sam held hands and marched with Mom and Dad to find a good spot to watch.
+
+"Look, look!" Sam shouted, pointing at the sky. "Fireworks!"
+
+Lily saw the bright colors and shapes exploding in the air. She clapped and cheered. She liked the fireworks. They were pretty and harmless. They did not hurt anyone or anything.
+
+"Wow, wow!" Lily said, looking at Sam. "Do you like the fireworks?"
+
+Sam nodded and smiled. He liked the fireworks too. They were loud and fun. They made him feel happy and brave.
+
+"Boom, boom!" Sam said, making noises with his mouth. He pretended to be a firework too.
+
+Lily laughed and joined him. She also made noises with her mouth. She pretended to be a firework too.
+
+"Boom, boom!" Lily and Sam said, jumping and spinning. They were fireworks.
+
+Mom and Dad watched them and smiled. They were proud of their children. They hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"You are the best fireworks ever," Mom said.
+
+"We love you," Dad said.
+
+Lily and Sam hugged them back. They loved them too.
+
+They watched the fireworks together until they were over. Then they marched back home, feeling happy and warm.
+Tom and Anna are playing with their toys on the carpet. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. They are having fun and making noises.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Tom says.
+
+"Beep, beep, my doll is driving too!" Anna says.
+
+But then they hear a loud sound from outside. It is a big truck with a siren. It is coming closer and closer. Tom and Anna are scared. They drop their toys and run to the window.
+
+"What is that?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know, it is loud and scary!" Anna says.
+
+They see the truck stop in front of their house. Two men in yellow clothes get out. They have a hose and a ladder. They run to the house next door. There is smoke and fire coming out of the window.
+
+"Oh no, there is a fire!" Tom says.
+
+"Are they going to help?" Anna asks.
+
+"Yes, they are firefighters. They are brave and strong. They will put out the fire and save the people." Tom says.
+
+Tom and Anna watch the firefighters work. They see them spray water on the fire. They see them climb the ladder and enter the window. They see them come out with a woman and a cat. They are safe and happy.
+
+"Wow, they did it!" Tom says.
+
+"They are heroes!" Anna says.
+
+They hear their mom call them from the kitchen.
+
+"Tom, Anna, come here. It is time for lunch." She says.
+
+Tom and Anna leave the window and go to the kitchen. They tell their mom what they saw. She hugs them and says.
+
+"I'm glad you are safe and calm. You did a good job to remain on the carpet and not go outside. It was dangerous. The fire is out now and everyone is okay. Let's eat our sandwiches and thank the firefighters for their work." She says.
+
+Tom and Anna nod and smile. They eat their sandwiches and drink their juice. They are happy and proud. They like the firefighters. They want to be like them when they grow up.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box under a tree. They open the box and see many papers with words and pictures.
+
+"Look, Tom, these are messages!" Lily says. "Maybe someone left them here for us."
+
+Tom picks up a paper and tries to read it. He sees a word he knows: "care". He shows it to Lily.
+
+"Care. That means to be nice and help someone, right?" he asks.
+
+Lily nods. "Yes, Tom. Maybe these messages are from someone who cares about us. Or maybe they want us to care about someone else."
+
+They look at the other papers. They see words like "love", "share", "thank", and "smile". They also see pictures of flowers, animals, stars, and hearts.
+
+"These are nice messages, Lily. They make me happy," Tom says.
+
+"Me too, Tom. But I wonder who made them and why they are hidden in this box," Lily says.
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is Mrs. Lee, the old lady who lives near the park. She walks slowly with a cane and smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, children. I see you found my box of messages," she says.
+
+Lily and Tom are surprised. They turn around and greet her.
+
+"Hello, Mrs. Lee. This is your box? Did you make these messages?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, dear. I made them for you and for anyone who needs some joy and hope. I care about you and all the people who come to this park. I want to make them feel good and not alone. So I write these messages and hide them in this box. Sometimes I see people find them and smile. That makes me happy too," Mrs. Lee says.
+
+Lily and Tom feel warm and grateful. They hug Mrs. Lee and thank her for her messages.
+
+"Thank you, Mrs. Lee. You are very kind and sweet. We care about you too. Can we help you with anything?" Tom asks.
+
+Mrs. Lee smiles and wipes a tear from her eye. She says, "You are very welcome, children. You have already helped me by finding my messages and giving me your love. You are my hidden treasures."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big frog near the pond. The frog was green and brown and had red spots on its back. Lily thought the frog was ugly and scary. Tom thought the frog was cool and wanted to touch it.
+
+"Look, Lily, a frog!" Tom said. He ran to the pond and tried to lift the frog with his hands.
+
+"Tom, no! Don't lift the frog!" Lily shouted. She remembered what Mom had told them. "The frog has poison on its skin. It can make you sick or hurt you. Leave the frog alone!"
+
+But Tom did not listen to Lily. He lifted the frog and held it close to his face. The frog did not like that. It opened its mouth and spat a white foam at Tom. The foam hit Tom's eyes and nose and mouth. Tom felt a burning pain and dropped the frog. He started to cry and scream.
+
+Lily ran to Tom and tried to help him. She wiped the foam off his face with her shirt. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I told you not to lift the frog. It was ugly and had poison. Are you okay?"
+
+Tom nodded, but he still felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly and did not listen to you. The frog was ugly and had poison. I won't lift it again. Can we go home and see Mom?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, Tom. Let's go home and see Mom. She will make you feel better. And next time, we will be careful and not touch ugly and poison things."
+
+They held hands and walked back to the house. The frog jumped back into the pond and hid under a leaf. It was glad to be away from the children.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. Lily has a purple doll that she loves very much. She always hugs it and gives it a name. Ben has a red car that he loves very much. He always zooms it and makes noises.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide and want to try it. Lily goes first. She holds her purple doll and slides down. She laughs and says, "That was fun!" Ben goes next. He holds his red car and slides down. He smiles and says, "That was fun too!"
+
+But then, something bad happens. Ben's red car falls out of his hand and lands on the grass. Lily's purple doll falls out of her hand and lands on the slide. They both run to get their toys. But they reach for the wrong ones. Lily grabs Ben's red car and Ben grabs Lily's purple doll.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Lily says. She tries to pull the red car from Ben.
+
+"No, that's mine!" Ben says. He tries to pull the purple doll from Lily.
+
+They both tug and tug. They are not happy. They are angry.
+
+A lady sees them and comes over. She is kind and gentle. She says, "What's wrong, children? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Lily and Ben stop tugging. They look at the lady. They say, "She/he took my toy!"
+
+The lady says, "Oh, I see. But maybe you made a mistake. Look, this is Lily's purple doll and this is Ben's red car. They fell when you slid down. Maybe you can swap them and say sorry."
+
+Lily and Ben look at their toys. They see that the lady is right. They feel silly and sorry. They say, "Oops, sorry!" They swap their toys and hug them. They say, "Thank you, lady!"
+
+The lady says, "You're welcome, children. It's good to share and be nice. Now, do you want to play together again?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They smile and say, "Yes, please!" They hold their toys close and run to the slide. They are friends again. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they plan to make a cake with mud and leaves. They find a big bowl and a spoon. They also find a knife on a bench. It is shiny and sharp.
+
+"Look, Ben, a knife! We can use it to cut the cake!" Sara says.
+
+"No, Sara, no! The knife is bad. It can hurt you. Mama says knives are for grown-ups only. We should leave it alone," Ben says.
+
+"But I want to cut the cake. It will be fun. And I will be careful. See, I can hold the knife fine," Sara says. She picks up the knife and tries to cut a leaf.
+
+"Stop, Sara, stop! You are not careful. You are silly. Give me the knife. I will put it back on the bench," Ben says. He grabs the knife from Sara. But Sara does not let go. They pull and tug. The knife slips and cuts Sara's finger.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!" Sara cries. She drops the knife and holds her finger. Blood comes out.
+
+"See, Sara, see? I told you the knife is bad. You are hurt. We need to find Mama. She will make it better," Ben says. He drops the knife and hugs Sara. He is sorry and scared.
+
+They run to find Mama. Mama sees Sara's finger and says, "Oh, no, Sara, what happened? Did you play with the knife? That was very naughty. You could have been hurt worse. Come, let me clean your finger and put a band-aid on it. It will be fine soon."
+
+Sara and Ben say sorry to Mama. They promise to never play with knives again. They learn their lesson. They hug Mama and each other. They are still friends. They decide to play with something else. They do not want to make a cake anymore.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and read books. But sometimes they disagree. They disagree about what to watch on the television. Ben likes cars and trucks. Lily likes animals and flowers.
+
+One day, they have a big fight. Ben wants to watch a show about fast cars. Lily wants to watch a show about cute puppies. They both grab the remote and pull hard. They yell and cry. Mom hears the noise and comes to the living room.
+
+Mom is not happy. She says, "Ben and Lily, you are both intelligent. You can share and take turns. Fighting is not nice. How about we watch something else? Something that you both like?"
+
+Ben and Lily think for a moment. They remember a show that they both enjoy. It is a show about funny monkeys. They like how the monkeys swing and jump and make faces. They say, "OK, Mom. We can watch the monkey show. We are sorry for fighting."
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That's good. I'm proud of you. You are both intelligent and kind. Now, let's watch the monkey show together." She turns on the television and they all sit on the couch. They laugh and have fun. They do not disagree anymore.
+Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would throw it, catch it, kick it, and roll it.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a lot of other kids playing there. Some had bikes, some had dolls, some had cars. Tom and Mia wanted to play with them, but they were shy. They held their big red ball tight.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. "Hey, can I play with you?" It was a boy with curly hair and a blue shirt. He smiled at them. He had a big red ball too. Tom and Mia looked at each other. They recognized him. He was Sam, from their preschool. They liked Sam. He was nice and funny.
+
+"Sure, you can play with us!" Tom said. "We have the same ball!"
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Sam said. "Let's play catch!"
+
+They gave their moms a hug and ran to a big field. They threw their balls to each other, laughing and shouting. They had so much fun. They made a new friend. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing 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. They were very happy.
+
+But then a big dog came running towards them. He was barking loud and showing his teeth. He wanted to play with the snowman, but he looked angry. Lily and Tom were scared. They ran away from the dog and hid behind a tree.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. "The dog is going to break our snowman!"
+
+Their mom heard them and came out of the house. She saw the dog and the snowman. She was not scared. She knew the dog. He was their neighbor's dog, Rex. He was friendly, but he liked to chase things.
+
+She called Rex and gave him a treat. She told him to leave the snowman alone. Rex wagged his tail and licked her hand. He was sorry. He did not mean to scare Lily and Tom.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and Tom and gave them their coats. She said, "Don't be scared. Rex is a good dog. He just wanted to say hello to your snowman. He did not know you made him."
+
+Lily and Tom felt better. They put on their coats and went back to their snowman. They said hello to Rex and petted him. They were not scared anymore. They were friends.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also had a big bear toy that they took turns to hug. The bear was soft and brown and had a red bow.
+
+But then, a big wind came and blew the bear away. The bear flew over the fence and landed in a tree. Ben and Mia ran after the bear, but they could not reach it. They were very sad.
+
+"Help, help!" they cried. "Our bear is stuck in the tree!"
+
+A man heard them and came to see. He had a long ladder and a big bag. He climbed the ladder and got the bear. He put the bear in the bag and zipped it up. He came down the ladder and gave the bag to Ben and Mia.
+
+"Here you go, kids," he said. "Your bear is safe and sound. Don't let him fly away again."
+
+Ben and Mia thanked the man and opened the bag. They hugged the bear and smiled. They were very happy. They went back to the park and played some more. They also tied the bear to a swing, so he would not fly away again. They had a lot of fun.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with blocks. They could build many things with blocks, like houses, cars, and towers. One day, they wanted to build the biggest tower ever. They used all the blocks they had, and stacked them high and higher.
+
+But they had a problem. The tower was not strong enough. It wobbled and shook when they added more blocks. Ben and Lily did not know what to do. They looked around for something to help them. They saw a fork on the table. It was shiny and pointy.
+
+Ben had an idea. He said, "Let's use the fork to make the tower stronger. We can stick it in the blocks and hold them together." Lily agreed. She said, "Yes, that's a good idea. The fork is important for our tower." They took the fork and ran to their tower.
+
+But they did not ask Mom if they could use the fork. Mom was busy in the kitchen. She did not see them take the fork. She needed the fork to make salad for lunch. She looked for the fork, but she could not find it. She was confused and annoyed. She said, "Where is my fork? I need it for the salad. Who took my fork?"
+
+She went to the living room, where Ben and Lily were playing. She saw their tower, and she saw the fork. It was stuck in the top of the tower. She was angry and shocked. She said, "Ben and Lily, what are you doing? Why did you take my fork? That's not a toy. That's a tool for eating. You could hurt yourself or break the fork. You should not use things without asking. That's not nice or respectful."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry and scared. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They did not know the fork was for the salad. They just wanted to build the biggest tower ever. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We did not know. We thought the fork was important for our tower. We wanted to make it strong and tall."
+
+Mom sighed and calmed down. She said, "I understand, Ben and Lily. You have a lot of imagination and creativity. But you also have to be careful and responsible. The fork is important for the salad, not for the tower. The tower is important for you, but not for me. You have to ask before you use things that belong to others. You have to respect their needs and feelings. That's how you show love and kindness."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and hugged Mom. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We love you and we respect you. We will ask before we use things next time. Can we help you with the salad?" Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said, "Yes, you can. Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are good and sweet. I love you too. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and make the salad together."
+
+The end.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big truck, a soft bear and a red ball. He was happy when he played with them in his room.
+
+But one day, his mom said it was time to eat. She made some food for Tom and put it on a plate. She said it was good food and easy to eat. She gave Tom a spoon and told him to try it.
+
+Tom looked at the food and did not like it. It was green and mushy and smelled funny. He did not want to eat it. He pushed the plate away and said "No, no, no!"
+
+His mom was not happy. She said Tom had to eat his food or he would be hungry and sick. She said he was a big boy and he could eat anything. She tried to give him the spoon again.
+
+Tom did not listen. He threw the spoon on the floor and started to cry. He cried very loud and very hard. He wanted his toys, not the food. He did not care if he was hungry or sick. He just wanted to play.
+
+His mom was sad and angry. She did not know what to do. She picked up the spoon and the plate and took them away. She said Tom could not play with his toys until he ate his food. She said he had to stay in his room and think about what he did.
+
+Tom was very sad and very angry. He did not want to stay in his room. He did not want to think about what he did. He wanted his mom and his toys. He cried and cried and cried. He wished he had eaten his food. It was easy to eat, after all.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a big brown bear named Peanut. Peanut was soft and cuddly and had a red bow on his neck. Sara and Ben loved Peanut very much and took him everywhere.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to go to the store with her. She told them to leave Peanut at home, because he might get lost or dirty at the store. Sara and Ben did not want to leave Peanut, but they listened to their mom and put him on their bed. They said goodbye to Peanut and went to the store with their mom.
+
+While they were gone, a naughty cat named Fluffy came into their room. Fluffy saw Peanut on the bed and thought he was a mouse. He jumped on Peanut and bit him and scratched him. He tore off his red bow and dragged him to the floor. He made Peanut filthy and ruined.
+
+When Sara and Ben came back from the store, they ran to their room to see Peanut. They were shocked and sad when they saw what Fluffy had done. They cried and hugged Peanut and said, "Bad Fluffy! You spoiled our Peanut! He was our best friend!"
+
+Their mom heard them crying and came to their room. She saw the mess and felt sorry for them. She said, "I'm sorry, Sara and Ben. Fluffy was very naughty. He spoiled your Peanut. But don't worry, we can fix him. We can wash him and sew him and find him a new bow. He will be good as new."
+
+Sara and Ben smiled and thanked their mom. They helped her wash Peanut and sew him and find him a new bow. They hugged Peanut and said, "We love you, Peanut. You are still our best friend." Peanut looked happy and cozy again. He was glad that Sara and Ben took care of him. He did not like Fluffy at all.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy trucks in the garden. They liked to load the trucks with dirt, rocks and leaves and drive them around. They pretended they were builders and made roads, bridges and houses.
+
+One day, they saw a shiny box under a big tree. It had a picture of a wand and stars on it. "What is that?" Ben asked. "It looks like magic!" Lily said. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they found a wand, a hat and a book.
+
+"Wow, this is cool!" Ben said. He picked up the wand and waved it. "I want to make something different!" He pointed the wand at his truck and said a word from the book. "Abracadabra!"
+
+But nothing happened. The truck was still the same. Ben frowned. He tried again. "Abracadabra!" He said louder. Still nothing. He got angry. He pointed the wand at Lily and shouted. "Abracadabra!"
+
+Lily felt a tickle on her nose. She sneezed. Then she looked at herself. She was different! She had fur all over her body, a long tail and whiskers. She had turned into a cat! She meowed in fear.
+
+Ben was shocked. He dropped the wand. He didn't mean to do that. He wanted to change his truck, not his sister. He tried to pick up the book and find a way to fix it. But the book was too big and heavy for him. He couldn't read the words. He started to cry.
+
+Lily ran to him and rubbed her head against his leg. She wanted him to hug her and make her normal again. But he pushed her away. He was scared of her. He ran to the house and called for their mom. He left Lily alone in the garden.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Max liked to pretend they were space explorers. They put on their helmets and suits and got into their cardboard rocket. They counted down from ten and then made a loud noise. "We are flying to a new planet!" Lily said.
+
+They landed on a planet that was very cold and white. It had snow and ice everywhere. They saw some animals that looked like big bears with fur. "Wow, they are so cute!" Max said. "Let's go and say hello."
+
+They got out of their rocket and walked towards the animals. They did not see that the animals had sharp teeth and claws. They did not hear that the animals were growling and hungry. They did not know that the animals were not friendly.
+
+The animals saw Lily and Max and ran towards them. They wanted to eat them. Lily and Max were scared and tried to run back to their rocket. But they were too slow and the snow was too deep. The animals caught them and bit them. Lily and Max screamed and cried.
+
+They never pretended to be space explorers again.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their blocks. They make towers and houses and cars with them. But sometimes they fight over the blocks. Sara wants the red blocks and Ben wants the blue blocks. They do not like to share.
+
+One day, they were playing with their blocks in the living room. Sara had a big tower of red blocks and Ben had a big house of blue blocks. They were happy. But then, their mom called them for lunch. She said they had to put away their blocks before they ate.
+
+Sara and Ben did not want to put away their blocks. They wanted to keep playing. They said they would do it later. Their mom said no, they had to do it now. She said if they did not, their blocks would vanish.
+
+Sara and Ben did not believe their mom. They thought she was joking. They ran to the kitchen and ate their lunch. They did not put away their blocks.
+
+When they came back to the living room, they saw that their blocks were gone. They looked everywhere, but they could not find them. They were sad and angry. They asked their mom where their blocks were.
+
+Their mom said she told them their blocks would vanish if they did not put them away. She said she put them in a big box and hid them in the closet. She said they could have them back if they learned to share and clean up.
+
+Sara and Ben felt sorry. They said they were sorry to their mom. They said they would share and clean up next time. Their mom gave them a hug and a kiss. She said she was glad they learned their lesson. She said she would give them their blocks back, but only if they promised to play nicely.
+
+Sara and Ben promised. They said they would play nicely. Their mom gave them their blocks back. They were happy. They thanked their mom. They went to the living room and played with their blocks. They shared the red and blue blocks. They made a big castle with them. They put a clear block on the tip of the castle. It looked like a star. They smiled. They did not fight. They had fun.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to draw on the walls. She used many colors and made many shapes. She thought her walls were very pretty. But her mom did not like her drawings. She said they were messy and bad.
+
+One day, Lily had a new idea. She wanted to draw on the ceiling. She thought the ceiling was very big and white and boring. She wanted to make it more fun. She got a chair and a crayon and climbed up. She started to draw a big sun and some clouds.
+
+But her mom saw her and got very angry. She shouted, "Lily, what are you doing? Stop that right now! You are ruining the ceiling! It is very delicate and expensive. You are in big trouble, young lady!"
+
+Lily got scared and dropped the crayon. She looked at her mom and said, "But mom, I just wanted to make the ceiling pretty. I don't like it white. I like colors. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Her mom sighed and took her down from the chair. She hugged her and said, "Lily, I know you like to draw, but you can't draw on the walls or the ceiling. They are not for drawing. They are for keeping us safe and warm. If you want to draw, you can use paper or a board. I have some for you in your room. Come on, I'll show you."
+
+She took Lily to her room and gave her some paper and a board. She also gave her some stickers and a book. She said, "Here, you can draw anything you want on these. You can also use the stickers and read the book. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I love you, Lily. You are very creative and smart. But you have to be careful and respectful of our home. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "I understand, mom. I love you too. Thank you for the paper and the board and the stickers and the book. They are very nice. Can I draw you a picture?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course you can, sweetie. I would love that. You are very welcome."
+Lila likes to play with her hoop. She can roll it, spin it, and jump through it. She likes to make it go fast and slow. She likes to make it go near and far.
+
+One day, she takes her hoop to the park. She sees many other children playing there. Some are on the swings, some are on the slide, some are on the seesaw. Lila wants to play with them, but she is shy.
+
+She finds a spot under a big tree and sits with her hoop. She rolls it on the grass and watches it come back to her. She spins it on her arm and feels it tickle her. She jumps through it and laughs.
+
+Then, she sees a boy with a ball. He is lively and friendly. He runs and kicks the ball, and catches it with his hands. He sees Lila and smiles. He comes over to her and says, "Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lila nods and smiles back. She says, "Hi, I'm Lila. This is my hoop. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Ben says, "Sure, I like hoops. They are fun and round. Can I show you my ball?"
+
+Lila says, "Yes, I like balls. They are bouncy and colorful. Can we share them?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, we can share them. We can be friends."
+
+Lila and Ben play with the hoop and the ball. They roll them, spin them, jump through them, and throw them. They have a lively and happy time. They sit and rest under the big tree. They are glad they met each other. They are glad they have their hoop and their ball.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pond with some green things in it. They wanted to see what they were, so they went closer.
+
+"Look, Sue, they are crocodiles!" Tom said. "They have big teeth and long tails. They look scary!"
+
+Sue was not scared. She was curious. She wanted to touch one of the crocodiles. She said, "Maybe they are nice. Maybe they want to be our friends. Let's name them!"
+
+Tom thought that was a bad idea. He said, "No, Sue, they are not nice. They are mean. They will bite us. Let's go away!"
+
+But Sue did not listen. She picked up a stick and poked one of the crocodiles. She said, "Hello, crocodile. What is your name? I will name you Bob."
+
+The crocodile did not like that. He opened his mouth and snapped at Sue. He missed her by a little bit, but he made a loud noise. Sue was scared. She dropped the stick and ran away.
+
+Tom ran after her. He said, "Sue, are you okay? That was a bad thing to do. You should not poke crocodiles. They are not boring. They are dangerous. You should be careful."
+
+Sue was sorry. She said, "You are right, Tom. I was silly. I should not poke crocodiles. They are not friends. They are wild. I should be respectful."
+
+Tom and Sue learned a lesson. They decided to play somewhere else. They never poked crocodiles again.
+Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore the park with her mom. One day, she saw a big animal with brown fur and horns near the trees. She wanted to get closer and see what it was.
+
+"Mom, look! What is that animal?" she asked.
+
+"That is a deer, Lily. It is a gentle and shy animal that lives in the woods. We should not bother it or scare it," mom said.
+
+But Lily was curious and did not listen to mom. She ran towards the deer and tried to touch it. The deer was startled and ran away. Lily followed it and ran deeper into the woods. She lost sight of mom and the park.
+
+"Mom! Mom! Where are you?" she cried.
+
+She heard a loud scream from behind a bush. She thought it was mom and ran towards it. But it was not mom. It was a big, black animal with sharp teeth and claws. It was a bear. It growled and showed its teeth at Lily.
+
+Lily was very scared and screamed. She turned around and ran back to the park. She hoped mom was there and would help her.
+
+Mom heard Lily's scream and ran to find her. She saw the bear and grabbed a stick. She waved it at the bear and shouted.
+
+"Go away! Leave my daughter alone!"
+
+The bear was afraid of mom and the stick. It ran away into the woods. Mom hugged Lily and kissed her.
+
+"Lily, are you okay? You should never run away from me and chase wild animals. They can be dangerous and hurt you. You have to listen to me and stay close to me," mom said.
+
+Lily nodded and said sorry. She was glad mom was there and saved her. She learned her lesson and decided to be more careful and obedient. She still liked to be adventurous, but only with mom by her side.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big iron thing that looked like a car, but had no wheels. It was very old and rusty.
+
+"Let's go inside and see what's there," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It might be dangerous," Lily said.
+
+They climbed on the iron thing and opened a door. Inside, they saw many buttons and wires and screens. They did not know what they were for.
+
+"Wow, this is cool. Maybe it's a spaceship," Tom said.
+
+He pushed a button and the iron thing started to make a loud noise. It also began to shake very hard.
+
+"Tom, stop it! It's scary!" Lily cried.
+
+"I can't! I don't know how!" Tom shouted.
+
+The iron thing shook harder and harder. It made sparks and smoke. Tom and Lily screamed and tried to get out, but the door was stuck.
+
+The iron thing was a bomb. It exploded and hurt Tom and Lily very badly. They did not play anymore. They were not nice. They were gone.
+Sam and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. One day, they saw a big gate near the park. The gate was unusual. It had many colors and shapes on it.
+
+"Look, Lily, a gate!" Sam said.
+
+"What is it for?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's go and see," Sam said.
+
+They ran to the gate. They saw a sign on the gate. The sign said: "Magic Show. Rise and Shine. 10 o'clock."
+
+"What is a magic show?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is fun," Sam said.
+
+They looked at their watch. It was 9:55.
+
+"Let's wait and see," Sam said.
+
+They waited near the gate. They saw other people coming to the gate. They saw a man with a hat and a coat. He had a big smile on his face.
+
+"Hello, children. Are you ready for the magic show?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, we are," Sam and Lily said.
+
+"Great. Follow me, then. The show is about to start," he said.
+
+He opened the gate. He led them to a big tent. The tent was unusual, too. It had many stars and moons on it.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing," Sam said.
+
+"Me too, I like it," Lily said.
+
+They entered the tent. They saw a stage with lights and curtains. They saw chairs and benches. They sat on a bench. They waited for the show to begin.
+
+They heard music. They saw the man with the hat and the coat. He came to the stage. He had a wand and a rabbit.
+
+"Welcome, welcome, to the magic show. Rise and shine, everyone. I am the magician, and I am here to amaze you with my tricks," he said.
+
+He waved his wand. He made the rabbit disappear. He made a flower appear. He made a ball rise in the air. He made a card change color.
+
+Sam and Lily clapped and cheered. They liked the magic show. They liked the unusual gate. They liked the fun day.
+Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and one unusual eye. One of her eyes was blue, and the other was green. Sara thought Lily was special and beautiful.
+
+One day, Sara's brother Tom came into her room. He saw Lily and said, "What a weird doll! She has a funny eye. Can I see it?" He grabbed Lily from Sara and pulled her hair. Sara was angry and scared. She shouted, "No, Tom! Give Lily back! You are mean!"
+
+Tom did not listen. He laughed and said, "I want to see her eye. Maybe I can take it out and make her normal." He tried to poke Lily's eye with his finger. Sara cried and tried to stop him. She said, "No, Tom! Quit it! You will hurt Lily! She is not weird, she is special!"
+
+Tom did not quit. He pushed Sara away and said, "You are silly. This is just a doll. It does not feel anything. I can do what I want." He poked harder and harder, until he made a hole in Lily's eye. Lily's eye fell out and rolled on the floor. Tom looked at it and said, "Oops."
+
+Sara saw what Tom did and screamed. She ran to Lily and hugged her. She said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I love you. You are still beautiful." She looked at Tom with anger and sadness. She said, "Tom, you are bad. You broke Lily. You hurt me. Go away!"
+
+Tom felt sorry and scared. He saw Sara's tears and Lily's eye. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was just playing. I didn't mean to break Lily. Please don't be mad at me." He tried to give Lily's eye back to Sara, but Sara did not want it. She said, "Go away, Tom. I don't want to see you. You are not my brother anymore."
+
+Tom went away. He felt bad and lonely. He wished he had not played with Lily. He wished he had not hurt Sara. He wished he had quit when Sara asked him to. He learned a lesson. He never played with Sara's dolls again.
+Lily did not like soup. She did not like the smell, the color, or the taste of soup. She wanted to eat something else, like bread or cheese or cake. But Mom said she had to eat soup first, or she would not get any dessert.
+
+Mom put a big bowl of soup in front of Lily, and a spoon next to it. She said, "Lily, eat your soup, please. It is good for you. It will make you strong and healthy." Lily looked at the soup and made a face. She did not want to eat it. She wanted to resist.
+
+She pushed the bowl away and said, "No, Mom, I don't like soup. I want cake." Mom shook her head and said, "No, Lily, you have to eat soup first. Cake is only for after soup. Come on, try a little bit. It is not so bad." She moved the bowl back and picked up the spoon. She scooped some soup and brought it to Lily's mouth.
+
+Lily closed her mouth and turned her head. She did not want to open her mouth. She did not want to taste the soup. She resisted the spoon. She said, "No, Mom, no soup. Soup is yucky. Cake is yummy." Mom sighed and said, "Lily, don't be so stubborn. Soup is not yucky. It is yummy, too. You have to eat something, or you will be hungry and sad. Please, Lily, just one spoon."
+
+Lily looked at Mom and saw that she was sad, too. She did not want to make Mom sad. She loved Mom. She thought for a moment. She had an idea. She said, "Mom, can I have a hidden spoon?" Mom looked puzzled and said, "A hidden spoon? What is that?" Lily said, "A hidden spoon is when you hide the spoon under something else, so I don't see the soup. Then I can eat it and pretend it is something else."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "A hidden spoon? That is a funny idea. But if it will help you eat your soup, I will try it. What do you want to hide the spoon under?" Lily thought and said, "A napkin. A napkin is soft and white and nice. I can hide the spoon under a napkin and pretend it is cake." Mom said, "Okay, Lily, let's try a hidden spoon. Here, I will put a napkin over the spoon and the soup. Now, you can open your mouth and eat the hidden spoon."
+
+Lily opened her mouth and ate the hidden spoon. She did not see the soup. She did not smell the soup. She only felt the napkin and the spoon. She pretended it was cake. She said, "Mmm, cake. Cake is good. Can I have another hidden spoon?" Mom said, "Yes, Lily, you can have another hidden spoon. And another, and another, until the soup is gone. Then you can have real cake, too. I am proud of you, Lily. You are a good girl."
+
+Lily smiled and ate more hidden spoons. She did not resist anymore. She ate all the soup. She made Mom happy. She was happy, too. She said, "Thank you, Mom, for the hidden spoons. They were fun. And thank you for the soup. It was not so bad. And thank you for the cake. It is the best." Mom said, "You are welcome, Lily. I love you. You are my sweet girl." They hugged and kissed and ate cake together. They were happy. The end.
+Sara was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new things. She had a big box of scissors in her room that she used to cut paper, cloth, and sometimes her hair. She liked to make different shapes and patterns with the scissors.
+
+One day, she saw a shiny red ribbon on her mom's dresser. She wanted to play with it and make a bow for her doll. She took the ribbon and ran to her room with it. She looked for her scissors in the box, but she could not find them. She had left them in the kitchen after cutting a cookie.
+
+She felt an urge to go back to the kitchen and get the scissors. She did not want to ask her mom, because she knew her mom would not let her cut the ribbon. She thought she could be quick and sneaky and get the scissors without her mom noticing.
+
+She opened her door and peeked outside. She saw her mom sitting on the couch, reading a book. She waited for a moment, then tiptoed down the hall. She reached the kitchen and saw the scissors on the counter. She grabbed them and turned to go back to her room.
+
+But as she did, she heard her mom's voice behind her. "Sara, what are you doing with those scissors?" her mom asked. Sara froze and looked at her mom with a guilty face. She knew she was in trouble. She dropped the scissors and the ribbon and said, "Sorry, mom. I just wanted to make a bow."
+Ben and Lily like to play at the gym. They like to run, jump, swing and slide. They have a lot of fun with their friends.
+
+One day, they see a big cake on a table. It looks yummy and sweet. They both want to eat it. They run to the table and grab the cake.
+
+"Mine!" Ben says.
+
+"No, mine!" Lily says.
+
+They pull the cake and fight. The cake breaks and falls on the floor. They both cry.
+
+A teacher comes and sees the mess. She is angry and sad.
+
+"Ben, Lily, why did you fight?" she asks.
+
+"We were hungry and wanted the cake," they say.
+
+"That was not your cake. That was for Sam's birthday. You ruined his cake and his day. You need to say sorry and share," she says.
+
+Ben and Lily feel bad. They say sorry to Sam and the teacher. They help to clean the floor. They learn to not fight and to ask before they take. They hug and make up. They get a small piece of cake each. They say thank you and smile. They are still friends.
+Lily and Lila are twins. They look the same and like the same things. They like to dance, sing, and play with their dolls. They have a sweet mom who loves them very much.
+
+One day, mom says, "I have a surprise for you, girls. We are going to a party. There will be cake, balloons, and music. Do you want to go?"
+
+Lily and Lila clap their hands and say, "Yes, yes, yes! We love parties!"
+
+Mom helps them put on their pretty dresses and shoes. She ties ribbons in their hair. She says, "You look so beautiful, my darlings. Are you ready to go?"
+
+Lily and Lila nod and hug mom. They get in the car and drive to the party. They see many other kids and grown-ups. They say hello and smile.
+
+They hear a song they like. It is fast and fun. They run to the dance floor and start to dance. They spin, jump, and twirl. They laugh and have fun. They are happy twins.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big lion in a cage. The lion looked sad and bored.
+
+"Let's go and say hello to the lion," Lily said. "Maybe he needs a friend."
+
+"No, Lily, that's a bad idea," Ben said. "The lion is dangerous. He can bite us and hurt us. We should stay away from him."
+
+But Lily did not listen to Ben. She ran to the cage and climbed on the fence. She waved at the lion and said, "Hi, lion, I'm Lily. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The lion saw Lily and roared. He was angry and hungry. He jumped at the fence and shook it hard. Lily was scared and fell off the fence. She hit her head on the ground and felt dizzy.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily cried. "The lion is trying to get me!"
+
+Ben ran to Lily and tried to help her. He called for a grown-up to come and support them. But it was too late. The lion broke the fence and got out of the cage. He ran to Lily and Ben and pounced on them. He bit them and hurt them. They screamed and cried, but no one could save them.
+
+The lion ate Lily and Ben and felt full and happy. He walked away from the park and looked for more food. He did not care about the grown-ups who came and shouted at him. He was the king of the jungle and he could do what he wanted. He was a bad lion.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big vehicle that could move and make noises. It was a gift from their grandpa, who said it was an unusual vehicle that he made himself.
+
+One day, Lily and Max had a fight over the vehicle. They both wanted to play with it, but they did not want to share. They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. "It's mine!" said Lily. "No, it's mine!" said Max. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to stop fighting and be nice.
+
+The vehicle did not like the fight. It felt sad and hurt by the twins. It tried to tell them to stop, but they did not hear it. It decided to teach them a lesson. It started to move by itself, and drove away from the twins. It went out of the door, and into the street.
+
+Lily and Max were shocked. They ran after the vehicle, but they could not catch it. They saw it go far away, and disappear. They felt sorry and scared. They cried and hugged each other. "We were bad," said Lily. "We spoiled our vehicle," said Max. "We want it back," they said together.
+
+Their mom came and comforted them. She said, "I'm sorry you lost your vehicle, but you learned a valuable lesson. You should always share and be kind to each other, and to your toys. Maybe your grandpa can fix your vehicle, or make you a new one. But you have to promise to be good and grateful."
+
+Lily and Max nodded and said, "We promise, mom. We love you, and we love each other, and we love our vehicle. We hope it comes back to us." They hugged their mom, and hoped that their unusual vehicle would forgive them.
+Ben likes to listen to stories. He has many books on his bookshelf. He likes to pick one and ask his mom or dad to read it to him. Sometimes he looks at the pictures and makes up his own stories.
+
+One day, he sees a new book on his bookshelf. It is wide and has a shiny cover. He wants to know what it is about. He takes it and goes to his mom. He says, "Mom, can you read this to me?"
+
+His mom smiles and says, "Sure, Ben. This is a special book. It is a book of maps. Maps show you different places in the world. Do you want to see?"
+
+Ben nods and sits on his mom's lap. His mom opens the book and shows him a map of the world. She points to different colors and shapes and tells him the names of the continents and oceans. Ben listens and repeats the names. He likes the sounds of the words. He asks his mom, "Can we go to these places?"
+
+His mom hugs him and says, "Maybe someday, Ben. But for now, we can learn about them from the book. And we can imagine what they look like and who lives there. Do you want to do that?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, mom. I want to do that. I like this book. It is a wide and wonderful book." He kisses his mom and says, "Thank you for reading it to me." His mom kisses him back and says, "You're welcome, Ben. I love you." They turn the page and look at another map. They listen and learn and dream together.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big log near the pond. The log is brown and long and hard.
+
+"Can we climb on the log, mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. The log might be slippery," mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily run to the log. They take turns to climb on it and walk along it. They pretend they are pirates on a ship. They say "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" and laugh.
+
+Lily is on the log. She tries to jump to the other end. But she slips and falls into the pond. Splash!
+
+Tom and mom and dad hear the splash. They run to the pond. They see Lily in the water. She is wet and cold and scared.
+
+"Lily!" Tom shouts. "Are you okay?"
+
+Mom and dad help Lily out of the pond. They wrap her in a towel. They hug her and kiss her.
+
+"I'm okay," Lily says. "But I don't like the log. It is not regular. It is mean."
+
+Tom nods. He does not like the log either. He likes his sister more.
+
+"Let's go home and have some hot chocolate," dad says.
+
+"Okay," Tom and Lily say.
+
+They leave the park. They do not look at the log. They hold hands and smile. They are happy.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to help their dad on the farm. Today, they are going to load corn on the big truck. Dad says corn is healthy and good for people and animals.
+
+Tom and Sam run to the barn. They see many yellow ears of corn in a big pile. They each grab an ear and run to the truck. They throw the corn on the back of the truck. They do this again and again. They have fun and work hard.
+
+But Tom and Sam do not see the big dog that is watching them. The dog is hungry and likes corn too. He sneaks behind the barn and waits for a chance to get some corn. He sees Tom and Sam run back and forth. He thinks they are playing a game.
+
+When Tom and Sam are almost done, they see the dog. He is running towards the truck. He wants to eat the corn. Tom and Sam are scared. They shout for their dad. Dad hears them and comes out of the house. He sees the dog and the corn.
+
+Dad is not angry. He knows the dog is hungry and does not mean to be bad. He gives the dog a bowl of water and some dog food. He tells Tom and Sam to finish loading the corn. He says they did a good job and he is proud of them. He says they can have some corn for dinner too. Tom and Sam are happy. They hug their dad and the dog. They love their farm and their corn.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to fish. They had a big rod and a small rod. They went to the lake with their dad. Dad showed them how to set the rod and wait for a fish.
+
+Ben had the big rod and he was proud. He wanted to catch a big fish. He did not listen to dad. He threw the rod too hard and it flew into the water. He was sad and angry.
+
+Sam had the small rod and he was humble. He listened to dad. He set the rod gently and waited for a fish. He felt a tug and he pulled. He caught a small fish. He was happy and grateful.
+
+Dad helped Ben get his rod back. It was wet and muddy. Ben said sorry to dad. He learned his lesson. He said to Sam, "You are a good brother. You have a good rod. Can I try it?"
+
+Sam smiled and said, "Sure, you can try it. We can share. Sharing is caring."
+
+They hugged and fished together. Dad was proud of them. They had fun and learned to be kind.
+Tom was a bad cat. He liked to steal food from other animals. One day, he saw a big bowl of milk on the porch of a house. He thought it was for him. He ran to the bowl and started to drink.
+
+But the bowl was not for him. It was for Ben, the dog who lived in the house. Ben was sleeping inside, but he heard Tom's slurping. He woke up and ran to the porch. He saw Tom drinking his milk. He was very angry.
+
+"Hey, that's my milk!" Ben barked. "You are a bad cat! Go away!"
+
+Tom was scared of Ben. He tried to run away, but he was too greedy. He wanted to drink more milk. He held on to the bowl with his paws. But the bowl was too big and heavy for him. He could not lift it.
+
+Ben saw his chance. He jumped on Tom and bit his tail. Tom yowled and let go of the bowl. The bowl fell to the ground and broke. The milk spilled everywhere. It was a mess.
+
+Tom ran away as fast as he could. He had a sore tail and a wet fur. He also had a bad taste in his mouth. The milk was not fresh. It was sour and disgusting. He wished he had not tried to steal it. He learned his lesson. He was a bad cat.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They make noises and pretend to drive them on the carpet. Lily has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They like their cars very much.
+
+"Look, my car can go very fast!" Lily says. She pushes her car with her hand and it zooms across the floor.
+
+"My car can go fast too!" Ben says. He pushes his car with his hand and it also zooms across the floor.
+
+They have fun racing their cars and making them crash and beep.
+
+But then, Ben's car stops moving. He pushes it harder, but it does not go. He looks at his car and sees a small hole on the bottom.
+
+"Oh no, my car is broken!" Ben says. He feels sad and angry.
+
+Lily sees Ben's car and the hole. She remembers something.
+
+"Maybe your car needs a new battery," she says. She runs to the kitchen and comes back with a small, round thing. "This is a battery. It makes your car go."
+
+She shows Ben how to open the hole and take out the old battery. It is dry and dirty. She puts in the new battery and closes the hole.
+
+"Try it now," she says.
+
+Ben pushes his car with his hand and it zooms across the floor again. He smiles and hugs Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Lily! You fixed my car!" he says.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben! I'm happy to help you," she says.
+
+They continue to play with their cars and have fun. They include their cars in their games and stories. They are good friends.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and pictures. But they also like to draw on the wall. They use crayons and markers and stickers. They make funny faces and animals and flowers. They think the wall is very pretty.
+
+One day, Mom comes to their room. She sees the wall. She is very angry. She says, "Who did this? This is ugly! You have to clean the wall now!" She gives them a sponge and a bucket of water. She says, "No more drawing on the wall!"
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They do not want to clean the wall. They like their drawings. They think Mom is mean. They start to cry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to have fun."
+
+Mom sees their tears. She feels sorry too. She says, "I know, my loves. But the wall is not for drawing. You have paper and books for that. The wall is for hanging pictures and posters. Look, I have a surprise for you." She shows them a big poster of their favorite cartoon. She says, "We can hang this on the wall. It will cover your drawings. And you can still see them when you want."
+
+Lily and Tom stop crying. They smile. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We love the poster. It is very pretty." They hug Mom. They help her hang the poster on the wall. They look at it. They laugh. They think it is funny. They are happy.
+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors, but her favorite was yellow. She used yellow to draw the sun, the stars, and the flowers. She was proud of her drawings and showed them to her mom and dad.
+
+One day, Lily found a new crayon in her box. It was shiny and silver, and it had a pointy tip. Lily wondered what it was. She picked it up and tried to draw with it, but it did not make any marks on the paper. She pressed harder, but still nothing. She felt the tip with her finger, and ouch! It was sharp!
+
+"Mommy, mommy, what is this?" Lily cried, running to her mom with the crayon and her finger.
+
+"Oh, Lily, that's not a crayon, that's a needle!" her mom said, taking the needle from her and looking at her finger. "You have to be careful with needles, they can hurt you. They are for sewing, not for drawing. Let me see your finger, I'll put a band-aid on it."
+
+Lily felt sorry and scared. She did not mean to hurt herself. She did not know what sewing was. She hugged her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mommy, I thought it was a crayon. I just wanted to draw something yellow."
+
+Her mom smiled and kissed her. "It's okay, Lily, you didn't know. But now you do. Needles are not for drawing, they are for sewing. Crayons are for drawing, and you are very good at it. Why don't you show me your yellow drawings? I'm sure they are beautiful."
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She took her mom to her room and showed her her yellow drawings. Her mom praised her and hung them on the wall. Lily felt proud again. She loved her mom and her crayons, and she decided to never touch a needle again.
+Sara and Tom are playing with paper and glue. They want to make a big house with windows and doors. Sara cuts the paper and Tom puts glue on it. They stick the paper together and make a house.
+
+"Look, our house is done!" Sara says. "It is very pretty."
+
+"Yes, it is," Tom says. "But it needs something more. I have an idea. Wait here."
+
+Tom runs to the kitchen and comes back with a bottle of ketchup. He thinks ketchup is red like blood. He wants to make the house scary.
+
+"Tom, what are you doing?" Sara asks. She sees Tom squirt ketchup on the house. He makes red stains on the windows and doors. He thinks it looks like someone is hurt inside.
+
+"I am making the house scary," Tom says. "It is more fun. Do you like it?"
+
+"No, I don't like it!" Sara says. She is angry and sad. She thinks Tom ruined their house. She thinks ketchup is for food, not for paper. She thinks Tom is mean.
+
+She grabs the bottle of ketchup from Tom and throws it at him. The ketchup splashes on Tom's face and clothes. He screams and cries. He thinks Sara is mean.
+
+They both start to fight. They pull each other's hair and scratch each other's skin. They knock over the table and the glue. The glue spills on the floor and makes a sticky mess.
+
+Their mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sara and Tom fighting and the house and the ketchup and the glue. She is very angry and shocked. She thinks Sara and Tom are naughty and silly.
+
+She stops their fight and scolds them. She makes them clean up the mess and go to their rooms. She takes away their paper and glue and ketchup. She thinks they don't deserve to play with them.
+
+Sara and Tom are sorry and sad. They wish they didn't fight. They wish they didn't make the house scary. They wish they could play together again. But it is too late. They have to stay in their rooms and think about what they did. They have a bad ending.
+Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play with cards. They had many cards with pictures of animals, flowers, and cars. Some cards were rare and shiny, and some cards were common and dull. Lily and Sam wanted to have the rare cards, because they thought they had more value.
+
+One day, they decided to play a game with their cards. They each picked five cards from their pile, and showed them to each other. Whoever had the most rare cards would win the game. Lily and Sam counted their rare cards, and saw that they had the same number: two. They looked at their other cards, and saw that they had different pictures.
+
+"I have a card with a lion, and you don't. That means I win!" Lily said.
+
+"No, I have a card with a rocket, and you don't. That means I win!" Sam said.
+
+They argued and argued, and did not listen to each other. They got angry and sad, and stopped playing. They put their cards away, and went to their homes.
+
+The next day, they missed each other, and wanted to play again. They took out their cards, and looked at them. They realized that they had many cards with different pictures, and that they could share them and learn from them. They decided to play a new game, where they would show each other their cards, and tell each other what they knew about them. They learned about lions and rockets, and also about flowers and cars. They had fun and laughed, and did not care about who had the rare cards. They found out that they had more value as friends than as cards. They were happy and sorry, and hugged each other. They played and played, and did not argue. They won the game of friendship.
+Tom and Lily were twins who lived on a farm with their mom and dad. They liked to play with the animals, especially the cows. The cows were big and soft and gave them milk.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily saw a new cow in the barn. She was black and white and had long horns. She looked different from the other cows. Tom and Lily wanted to pet her, but she was shy and ran away.
+
+"Mom, why is the new cow so scared?" Tom asked.
+
+"Her name is Daisy, and she came from another farm. She doesn't know us yet, so she is worried. She needs some time to feel safe and happy here," Mom said.
+
+"How can we make her feel better?" Lily asked.
+
+"Well, you can talk to her gently, and give her some hay and water. And you can show her your toys and books. Maybe she will like them," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They took some hay and water and went to the barn. They found Daisy in a corner, hiding behind some straw. They put the hay and water near her, and said hello.
+
+"Hi, Daisy. We are Tom and Lily. We live here with our mom and dad and the other cows. We want to be your friends. You don't have to be worried. We are nice and kind," Tom said.
+
+"Yes, Daisy. We have some toys and books to show you. Look, this is a ball. You can roll it and bounce it. And this is a book. It has pictures and words. We can read it to you," Lily said.
+
+Daisy looked at them with curious eyes. She sniffed the hay and water, and took a bite. She felt a little hungry and thirsty. She saw the ball and the book, and felt a little interested. She heard Tom and Lily's voices, and felt a little less worried. She took a step closer to them, and gave a soft moo.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They reached out their hands and touched Daisy's fur. She was warm and soft. She let them pet her, and gave another moo.
+
+"See, Daisy? You are not alone. You have a new home and new friends. We will take good care of you. We love you, Daisy," Tom and Lily said.
+
+Daisy felt happy. She licked Tom and Lily's faces, and gave a loud moo. She was not worried anymore. She had a new family.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for insects and see what they did. They saw ants, bees, ladybugs and spiders. They were careful not to touch them or hurt them.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a caterpillar!" Lily said, holding a green and fuzzy insect in her hand. "It is so soft and cute!"
+
+"Let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the caterpillar. "Wow, it is! Can we keep it as a pet?"
+
+Lily nodded. "Yes, let's. We can make a home for it in a jar. Maybe it will turn into a butterfly!"
+
+They ran inside the house and found an empty jar. They put some leaves and grass in it and made a hole in the lid. They gently placed the caterpillar inside and closed the jar.
+
+They put the jar on the windowsill and watched the caterpillar. They gave it a name: Fluffy.
+
+The next day, they went to check on Fluffy. But they were shocked by what they saw. Fluffy was not green and fuzzy anymore. He was brown and hard. He looked like a stick.
+
+"What happened to Fluffy?" Lily cried. "He is not Fluffy anymore!"
+
+Ben frowned. "Maybe he is sick. Or maybe he is sleeping. Maybe he will wake up and be Fluffy again."
+
+They decided to wait and see. They hoped Fluffy would be okay.
+
+The day after, they went to check on Fluffy again. But they were even more shocked by what they saw. Fluffy was not brown and hard anymore. He was not Fluffy at all. He was a butterfly. A beautiful butterfly with orange and black wings.
+
+But the butterfly was not happy. He was trapped in the jar. He wanted to fly and be free. He tried to push the lid, but it was too tight. He tried to flap his wings, but it was too hot. He felt his wings start to melt.
+
+"Help me! Help me!" the butterfly cried. But Ben and Lily could not hear him. They only saw the butterfly moving in the jar.
+
+"Look, Lily, Fluffy turned into a butterfly!" Ben said, smiling. "He is so pretty!"
+
+Lily smiled too. "He is! But he looks sad. Maybe he wants to go outside."
+
+Ben nodded. "Maybe you are right. Let's open the jar and let him go."
+
+They opened the jar and lifted the lid. The butterfly flew out of the jar and landed on Lily's hand. He looked at them with his big eyes.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" the butterfly said. But Ben and Lily could not understand him. They only heard a buzz.
+
+"You are welcome, Fluffy!" Lily said, stroking his wings. "We are sorry we kept you in the jar. We did not know you would change."
+
+The butterfly nodded. He was glad they were sorry. He was glad they let him go. He was not mad at them. He knew they were just curious.
+
+He flew away from Lily's hand and into the air. He felt the breeze and the sun. He felt happy and free.
+
+He waved his wings at Ben and Lily. "Goodbye, goodbye!" he said. But Ben and Lily could not see him. They only saw a flash of orange and black.
+
+"Goodbye, Fluffy!" Ben and Lily said, waving back. "We hope you have a good life!"
+
+They watched the butterfly fly away and disappear. They felt sad and happy at the same time. They learned something new. They learned that caterpillars turn into butterflies. They learned that insects can change. They learned that sometimes it is better to let things go.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they did not like the big lion statue. It was scary. It had sharp teeth and claws. It looked like it wanted to eat them.
+
+One day, Ben had a bad idea. He wanted to make Lily scared. He said, "Let's go to the lion statue. I dare you to touch it." Lily did not want to go. She said, "No, Ben. It is scary. I don't like it." But Ben said, "Don't be a baby. It is just a statue. It can't hurt you." He pulled her hand and made her go.
+
+When they got to the lion statue, Ben said, "See? It is not scary. It is just stone." He touched the lion's nose and smiled. He said, "Now you touch it." Lily was afraid. She said, "No, Ben. Please, let's go." But Ben said, "No, you have to touch it. Or I will pinch you." He pinched her arm. It hurt. Lily cried.
+
+Then, something happened. The lion statue moved. It opened its eyes and roared. It was not a statue. It was a real lion. It had escaped from the zoo. It was hungry and angry. It saw Ben and Lily. It wanted to eat them.
+
+Ben and Lily were very scared. They screamed and ran. The lion chased them. It was fast and strong. Ben and Lily ran to the gate. They saw a man. He was a zookeeper. He had a net and a tranquilizer gun. He saw the lion. He said, "Don't worry, kids. I will catch the lion. It is not your fault. It is mine. I forgot to lock the cage." He threw the net over the lion and shot it with the gun. The lion fell asleep.
+
+Ben and Lily were safe. They hugged the zookeeper and thanked him. He said, "You're welcome, kids. I'm sorry for the scare. You were very brave. But don't ever touch a lion again. It is very dangerous." Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "We won't. We learned our lesson. We are sorry for being naughty." They went home with their mom. They never played near the lion statue again.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared. He says, "No, no, no. The slide is too high. I don't want to go."
+
+Lily says, "Don't be a baby. The slide is fun. Come on, Ben. I will go first and show you." She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. She sits on the top and smiles. She says, "Look, Ben. I am so high. Whee!" She slides down and laughs.
+
+Ben watches Lily. He thinks, "Maybe the slide is not so bad. Maybe I can try it too." He walks to the slide and stands at the bottom. He looks up and sees the ladder. He says, "OK, Lily. I will go too. Wait for me." He starts to climb up the ladder.
+
+But then, he hears a loud noise. He looks behind him and sees a big dog. The dog is barking and running towards him. Ben is afraid. He says, "Help, help, help. A dog, a dog, a dog." He lets go of the ladder and falls down. He hurts his knee and cries.
+
+Lily hears Ben and runs to him. She sees the dog and the blood on Ben's knee. She says, "Oh, no, Ben. Are you OK? What happened?" She hugs Ben and tries to calm him down.
+
+The dog's owner comes and sees the trouble. He says, "I'm sorry, kids. My dog is not mean. He just likes to play. He is very noisy, but he is friendly. He didn't mean to scare you or hurt you." He holds the dog and pets him. He says, "His name is Spot. Do you want to say hello to him?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at the dog. He is wagging his tail and licking his owner's face. He does not look so scary anymore. He looks cute and happy. Lily says, "OK, mister. We will say hello to Spot. But please keep him on a leash. He is too big and fast for us." Ben says, "Yes, mister. And please tell him to be quiet. He is too loud for us."
+
+The owner says, "OK, kids. I will do that. I'm sorry again for the trouble. I hope you feel better, Ben. Here, have a band-aid for your knee." He gives Ben a band-aid and helps him put it on. He says, "You are very brave, Ben. You tried to go on the slide. That was a good thing to do. Next time, you will make it to the top. And you, Lily, you are very kind. You helped your brother and shared your slide. That was a nice thing to do. You are both good kids. Have fun in the park."
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Thank you, mister. Thank you, Spot. Bye-bye." They wave to the owner and the dog. They go back to their mom and tell her what happened. She says, "I'm proud of you, Lily and Ben. You learned a lot today. You learned to be brave, to be kind, and to be careful. You also learned that sometimes, things are not what they seem. A big slide can be fun, and a noisy dog can be friendly. You just have to try and see." She hugs them and kisses them. She says, "I love you, Lily and Ben. You are my best twins." They say, "We love you too, mom. You are our best mom." They smile and hug her. They are happy.
+Anna was very happy. It was her birthday. She had a cake with four candles. She had balloons and a hat. She had many friends to play with.
+
+But Anna wanted a present. She asked her mom, "Mom, where is my present?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Wait a little, Anna. I have a surprise for you."
+
+Anna waited and waited. She ate some cake and sang some songs. She played with her friends and her toys. But she still wanted a present.
+
+Then mom came with a big box. It was wrapped in shiny paper. It had a bow on top. It was very thick.
+
+"Here is your present, Anna. Happy birthday!" mom said.
+
+Anna was very excited. She tore the paper and opened the box. Inside was a big teddy bear. It was soft and brown. It had a red bow around its neck. It had a tag that said, "I love you, Anna."
+
+Anna hugged the teddy bear. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. This is the best present ever!"
+Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They can build many things with blocks. They can build houses, cars, towers, and more. They have fun with blocks.
+
+One day, they decide to build a dog with blocks. They find brown blocks, black blocks, and white blocks. They put the blocks together to make a dog. They make a head, a body, a tail, and four legs. They also make ears, eyes, and a nose.
+
+"Look, we made a dog!" Lily says. "It is a great dog!"
+
+"Yes, it is a great dog!" Ben agrees. "But it cannot bark or run or play. It is only blocks."
+
+They look at their dog and feel sad. They wish their dog was real.
+
+Then, they hear a sound. Woof, woof! They turn around and see a real dog. It is brown, black, and white, just like their block dog. It has a friendly face and a wagging tail. It runs to them and licks their faces.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Lily and Ben say. "Where did you come from?"
+
+The dog barks again. It seems to say, "I came to play with you. I like your block dog. It is a great dog!"
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They hug the dog and pet it. They are happy. They have a new friend. They play with the dog and the blocks. They have more fun than ever.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with a long trunk. They want to roll on the trunk.
+
+"Can we roll on the trunk?" Lila asks Tom.
+
+"Yes, we can. It looks fun!" Tom says.
+
+They run to the tree and climb on the trunk. They lie down and roll from one end to the other. They laugh and giggle. They feel the bark and the leaves on their skin.
+
+"Look, I am a log!" Lila says.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Tom says.
+
+They roll faster and faster. They are happy.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a dog. It is big and black. It barks and runs to the tree. It wants to play too.
+
+"Uh-oh, a dog!" Lila says.
+
+"Let's go, let's go!" Tom says.
+
+They jump off the trunk and run to the swings. They are scared. They hold hands and swing high. They are safe.
+
+The dog sniffs the trunk and chases a squirrel. It does not see Lila and Tom. It is busy.
+
+Lila and Tom look at each other. They smile and sigh.
+
+"That was fun, but scary!" Lila says.
+
+"Yes, it was. But we are okay!" Tom says.
+
+They swing and swing. They are friends. They are brave.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They live on a farm with their mom and dad. They love to play with the animals, especially the sheep. The sheep are soft and white and make funny noises.
+
+One day, mom and dad tell Anna and Ben that they have a surprise for them. They take them to the barn, where they see a new baby sheep. The baby sheep is very small and cute. It has curly wool and black eyes.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sure, but be gentle," mom says. "The baby sheep is still learning how to walk and run."
+
+Anna and Ben go closer to the baby sheep. They reach out their hands and pet its wool. The baby sheep likes it and wags its tail. It makes a soft sound, like "baa".
+
+"What is its name?" Ben asks.
+
+"We don't know yet," dad says. "Do you have any ideas?"
+
+Anna and Ben think hard. They want to give the baby sheep a good name. They look at its wool, its eyes, its tail.
+
+"I know!" Anna says. "Let's call it Fluffy!"
+
+"I like that!" Ben says. "Fluffy is a good name for a baby sheep."
+
+Mom and dad smile. They are proud of Anna and Ben. They hug them and say, "Fluffy is a lucky sheep. He has two good friends like you."
+Lily liked to play pirate with her big brother Tom. They had a big box that they pretended was a ship. They put a flag on it and made swords from sticks. They sailed to many places and looked for treasure.
+
+One day, they saw another ship in the water. It was bigger and had a scary skull on its flag. It was a bad pirate ship! The bad pirates wanted to take their treasure and their ship. Lily and Tom were scared, but they did not want to give up.
+
+"Stand up, Lily!" Tom said. "We are brave pirates! We will fight them!"
+
+Lily stood up and held her sword. She felt proud of her brother and herself. She shouted, "Go away, bad pirates! This is our ship!"
+
+The bad pirates laughed and came closer. They had guns and knives. They thought Lily and Tom were silly and weak. They wanted to scare them and make them cry.
+
+But Lily and Tom did not cry. They fought with their swords and threw water at the bad pirates. They made loud noises and waved their flag. They showed the bad pirates that they were not afraid.
+
+The bad pirates were surprised and angry. They did not like Lily and Tom's courage and spirit. They decided to leave them alone and find an easier ship to rob. They turned their ship around and sailed away.
+
+Lily and Tom cheered and hugged. They had saved their ship and their treasure. They were proud pirates! They sailed to a new place and had more fun. They were happy and free.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the sand. They liked to make castles and hills and dig holes. They had a big bucket of water to wet the sand. They pretended they were in a desert and the bucket was an oasis.
+
+But then, the sun got very hot and the water got very low. Anna and Ben were thirsty and tired. They wanted to go back to their mom and dad, who were sitting under a big umbrella. But they did not want to leave their sand creations.
+
+"Let's remain here a little longer," Anna said. "Maybe we can find more water in the oasis."
+
+Ben nodded. He took a small cup and scooped some water from the bucket. He poured it on a hill he had made. He hoped it would grow into a mountain.
+
+But the water did not make the hill bigger. It only made it smaller and softer. The hill collapsed and the sand spilled everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben cried. "My hill is gone!"
+
+Anna laughed. She thought Ben was silly. She said, "That's not how water works, Ben. Water does not make sand bigger. It makes it smaller and wetter. You wasted our water!"
+
+Ben felt sad. He did not mean to waste the water. He wanted to make a mountain. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I did not know. Can we share your water?"
+
+Anna looked at her bucket. There was only a little water left. She felt sorry for Ben. She said, "OK, Ben. We can share my water. But we have to be careful. We have to drink some and save some for the sand."
+
+Anna and Ben drank some water. They felt better. They wet some sand and made a new hill. They did not try to make it a mountain. They were happy with their hill.
+
+They played for a little while longer. Then they decided to go back to their mom and dad. They left their bucket and their hill in the sand. They hoped someone else would find them and enjoy them.
+
+They ran to their mom and dad. They hugged them and told them about their desert adventure. Their mom and dad smiled and gave them juice and cookies. They said, "You are very creative, Anna and Ben. But you are also very silly. Next time, don't forget to drink enough water and wear a hat."
+Sam likes to ride his bike with his friends. He always wears his helmet to be safe. His helmet is blue and has a star on it. He thinks his helmet is cool and reliable.
+
+One day, Sam falls off his bike and hits his head. His helmet protects him, but it gets a big crack. Sam is sad and scared. He does not want to ride his bike without his helmet. He thinks he might get hurt again.
+
+Sam's mom sees his helmet and hugs him. She says he is brave and smart. She says she will replace his helmet with a new one. She takes him to the store and lets him choose a new helmet. Sam sees a red helmet with a rocket on it. He likes it a lot. He thinks it is cooler and more reliable than his old helmet.
+
+Sam's mom buys him the new helmet and puts it on his head. She says he looks great and he can ride his bike again. Sam smiles and thanks her. He feels happy and safe. He rides his bike with his friends and shows them his new helmet. They think it is awesome and reliable too. Sam is proud of his new helmet and his mom. He loves them both.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bath. They have many toys and bubbles. They also have soap. The soap is green and smells good.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben see a tall man on TV. He is a basketball player. He can jump very high and throw the ball in the hoop. Anna and Ben admire him. They want to be like him.
+
+"Look, Ben, he is so tall and strong!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, Anna, he is amazing. I wish I could play like him." Ben says.
+
+They have an idea. They take the soap and rub it on their legs and arms. They think the soap will make them grow tall and strong. They smile and laugh.
+
+But then, they slip and slide on the wet floor. They fall and bump their heads. They cry and hurt.
+
+Mom hears them and runs to the bathroom. She sees them on the floor with soap all over them. She is worried and angry.
+
+"What are you doing, Anna and Ben? Why did you use the soap like that?" Mom asks.
+
+"We wanted to be tall and strong like the man on TV. We admired him." Anna and Ben say.
+
+Mom sighs and hugs them. She says, "I know you admire him, but soap is not magic. It is for washing, not for growing. You are already tall and strong for your age. And you are smart and kind and beautiful. I admire you for who you are, not for who you want to be. Now, let's clean up and put some ice on your heads."
+Ben was sick. He had a high fever and a sore throat. He did not want to eat or play. His mom was worried. She called the doctor to come and see him.
+
+The doctor came to Ben's house. He had a big bag with tools and medicines. He smiled at Ben and said, "Hello, Ben. I am here to help you feel better. Can I check your ears and your mouth?"
+
+Ben was scared. He did not like the doctor's tools. He hid under his blanket and said, "No, no, no. Go away. I don't want you to touch me."
+
+The doctor was patient. He said, "Ben, I know you are scared, but I am your friend. I will not hurt you. I just want to see what is making you sick. If you let me check you, I will offer you a sticker and a lollipop. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben peeked from under his blanket. He liked stickers and lollipops. He said, "Really? You will give me a sticker and a lollipop?"
+
+The doctor nodded. He said, "Yes, really. But you have to be brave and let me check you first. Will you do that for me?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He decided to be brave. He said, "Okay. I will let you check me. But be gentle, please."
+
+The doctor was gentle. He checked Ben's ears and his mouth. He said, "You have an ear infection and a throat infection. That is why you have a high fever and a sore throat. I will give you some medicine to make you feel better. You have to take it every day until it is gone. Can you do that for me?"
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, I can do that. Thank you, doctor."
+
+The doctor smiled. He said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a very brave boy. Here is your sticker and your lollipop. I hope you feel better soon."
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "Thank you, doctor. You are a very nice man. I am sorry I was scared of you."
+
+The doctor hugged Ben. He said, "That's okay, Ben. Everyone gets scared sometimes. But you overcame your fear and did the right thing. That is very good. I am proud of you."
+
+Ben felt happy. He learned that the doctor was his friend and that he should not be afraid of him. He learned that being brave and doing the right thing can make him feel better and get rewards. He learned a valuable lesson.
+Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they have a test at school. The test is about the nation. The nation is where they live. It has a flag and a song.
+
+Ben is scared of the test. He does not know the flag and the song. He did not study. He says to Sam, "I do not want to do the test. Can we hide?"
+
+Sam is thoughtful. He studied for the test. He knows the flag and the song. He says to Ben, "No, we cannot hide. The test is not hard. I can help you. Look, this is the flag. It has red and white stripes and blue stars. And this is the song. It goes like this: Oh, say can you see..."
+
+Ben listens to Sam. He looks at the flag and the song. He tries to remember them. He says to Sam, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. You are very thoughtful. Maybe the test is not so scary."
+
+They go to the classroom. The teacher gives them the test. Ben and Sam do their best. They write the flag and the song. They are happy. They pass the test. They hug each other. They say, "We did it! We know the nation!"
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big, black dog. He is very wild. He likes to run and jump and bark.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben go to the park with Spot and their mom. They see a lot of other dogs and people. Spot gets very excited. He wants to play with the other dogs. He pulls on his leash and tries to get away.
+
+"Spot, stop!" Lily and Ben speak to him. "You have to listen to us. You have to be good."
+
+But Spot does not listen. He breaks free from his leash and runs to the other dogs. He chases them and growls at them. He makes them scared and angry.
+
+"Spot, come back!" Lily and Ben speak to him again. "You are being bad. You have to follow our order."
+
+But Spot does not come back. He keeps running and barking. He makes a big mess in the park. He knocks over a trash can and a bike. He scares a baby and a bird.
+
+"Spot, no!" Lily and Ben speak to him one more time. "You are being very bad. You have to stop."
+
+But Spot does not stop. He runs to the pond and jumps in. He splashes water everywhere. He gets wet and dirty.
+
+Then, he sees his mom. She is very angry. She has a big stick in her hand. She speaks to him in a loud voice.
+
+"Spot, enough!" she speaks to him. "You are being very, very bad. You have to come here right now."
+
+Spot hears his mom. He knows he is in trouble. He stops running and barking. He comes out of the pond and walks to his mom. He hangs his head and wags his tail.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," he speaks to her. "I was just having fun."
+
+Mom shakes her head and sighs. She speaks to him in a soft voice.
+
+"Spot, I love you, but you have to behave. You have to listen to Lily and Ben. You have to follow their order. You have to be a good dog, not a wild dog."
+
+Spot nods and licks her face. He speaks to her in a happy voice.
+
+"OK, mom. I will be a good dog. I will listen to Lily and Ben. I will follow their order. I will not be a wild dog."
+
+Lily and Ben hug Spot and forgive him. They speak to him in a kind voice.
+
+"We love you, Spot. You are our dog. You can have fun, but you have to be careful. You have to be a good dog, not a wild dog."
+
+Spot smiles and wags his tail. He speaks to them in a grateful voice.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are my twins. You are my friends. I will have fun, but I will be careful. I will be a good dog, not a wild dog."
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a gun in the park. It is big and black and shiny. They do not know what it is.
+
+"Look, Tom, what is this?" Sam asks.
+
+"I do not know, Sam. Maybe it is a toy. Can I see it?" Tom says.
+
+Sam gives the gun to Tom. Tom holds it in his hands. He feels strong and cool. He points it at a tree and pulls the trigger. Nothing happens. He pulls it again and again. Still nothing.
+
+"This toy is no fun. It does not work. Let us find something else to play with," Tom says.
+
+He throws the gun on the ground. He kicks it hard. He hears a loud bang. He sees smoke and fire. He feels pain in his foot. He screams.
+
+"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Sam asks.
+
+He runs to Tom. He sees blood on his foot. He is scared. He cries.
+
+"Help, help, someone help us!" Sam shouts.
+
+A man hears them. He comes to them. He sees the gun and the blood. He is angry and shocked.
+
+"What are you doing with a gun? Where did you find it? Do you know how dangerous it is?" he asks.
+
+He takes the gun away. He calls for help. He wraps Tom's foot with his shirt. He tries to calm them down.
+
+Soon, an ambulance comes. It takes Tom and Sam to the hospital. The doctor fixes Tom's foot. He gives him a bandage and a sticker. He tells him he will be okay. He tells him to never touch a gun again.
+
+Tom and Sam are sorry. They did not know. They say they are sorry to the man, the doctor, and their parents. They hug each other. They are glad they are still friends. They are glad they are alive. They learn a lesson. They never play with guns again.
+Lily and Ben are going to the park with Mom. They are very happy. They put on their coats and shoes. Mom helps them get in the car. She says, "You have to buckle your seat belts. It is safe and good."
+
+Lily and Ben find their buckles. They try to snap them together. It is hard. Lily says, "Mom, can you help me? My buckle is stuck." Mom says, "Sure, sweetie. Let me see." She reaches over and fixes Lily's buckle. She says, "There you go. Good job, Lily."
+
+Ben says, "Mom, can you help me too? My buckle is too tight." Mom says, "Of course, honey. Let me loosen it a bit." She pulls on the strap and makes Ben's buckle more comfortable. She says, "There you go. Good job, Ben."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." Mom says, "I love you too, my darlings. You are so pretty and smart." She starts the car and drives to the park. Lily and Ben are excited. They can't wait to play on the swings and slides. They are going to have a lot of fun.
+Lily liked to imagine things. She imagined she was a princess, a doctor, a teacher, or a superhero. She liked to draw her imaginations on paper and show them to her mom and dad.
+
+One day, she saw her dad working on his computer. He was typing and clicking and looking at the screen. Lily was curious. She asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"
+
+"I'm writing a story, Lily. A story for a book," her dad said.
+
+"Can I see your story?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not yet, Lily. It's not finished. I need to work on it some more," her dad said.
+
+Lily was impatient. She wanted to see the story now. She thought it would be more fun than her drawings. She said, "Please, dad, can I see it? Just a little bit?"
+
+Her dad sighed. He loved Lily, but he needed to concentrate. He said, "Okay, Lily, but only for a minute. Then you have to let me work, okay?"
+
+He turned the computer so Lily could see the screen. Lily saw a lot of words. She could not read them. She was disappointed. She said, "This is not a story. This is boring. Where are the pictures?"
+
+Her dad smiled. He said, "The pictures are in your head, Lily. You have to imagine them. That's what reading is. You use the words to imagine the story."
+
+Lily frowned. She did not understand. She said, "But I like to see the pictures. I like to draw them. Can I draw on your computer?"
+
+Her dad shook his head. He said, "No, Lily, you can't draw on my computer. That would ruin it. You can draw on your own paper. Here, I have some for you."
+
+He gave Lily some paper and crayons. He said, "Why don't you draw your own story, Lily? You have a great imagination. You can make up anything you want."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Okay, dad, I will draw my own story. But can you read me your story when you are done?"
+
+Her dad nodded. He said, "Of course, Lily. I would love to read you my story. But you have to be patient, okay? It might take a while."
+
+Lily agreed. She said, "Okay, dad, I will be patient. But I will be excited too."
+
+She took the paper and crayons and went to her room. She started to draw her own story. She imagined she was a princess, a doctor, a teacher, and a superhero. She had a lot of fun. She could not wait to show her dad her story. And she could not wait to hear his story too.
+Tom and Sue are playing with blocks in the living room. They like to build towers and houses and cars. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. Tom has a big red block that he likes very much. He puts it on top of his tower.
+
+"Look, Sue, my tower is very high!" Tom says.
+
+Sue looks at Tom's tower. She wants the big red block. She thinks it is very pretty. She reaches for the block and tries to take it.
+
+"Hey, that is my block!" Tom says. He pulls the block back.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sue says. She pulls harder.
+
+They both pull and pull. The block does not move. They pull more and more. The block snaps in two. They both fall back. The tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees the broken block and the mess. She is not happy.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asks.
+
+Tom and Sue look at each other. They are scared. They know they are in trouble.
+
+"We were playing with the blocks," Tom says.
+
+"And we broke the block," Sue says.
+
+Mom picks up the pieces of the block. She is sad. She says, "This block was very old. It was my block when I was a little girl. Now it is dead. You can't play with it anymore."
+
+Tom and Sue feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We didn't mean to break the block. We were just fighting."
+
+Mom hugs them. She says, "I know you didn't mean to break the block. But you shouldn't fight over toys. You should share and be nice to each other. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom and Sue nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We can do that."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Good. Now help me clean up the blocks. And then we can have a snack."
+
+Tom and Sue help Mom clean up the blocks. They say sorry to the block. They say thank you to Mom. They have a snack. They play with the blocks again. They share and are nice to each other. They don't fight anymore. They are happy.
+Ben and Mia liked to play in the big park. They had a favorite spot under a big oak tree. The oak tree had many leaves and branches. It made a good place to hide and pretend.
+
+One day, they saw some men with big machines in the park. The men were cutting down some trees. Ben and Mia were scared. They ran to their oak tree and hid behind it. They hoped the men would not see them or their tree.
+
+But the men came closer and closer. They saw the oak tree and said, "This one is next. It is too old and sick. We need to make room for new trees to grow."
+
+Ben and Mia heard them and felt sad and angry. They loved their oak tree. It was not old and sick. It was strong and beautiful. They did not want it to go away. They wanted it to stay and grow.
+
+They decided to do something. They came out from behind the tree and shouted, "Stop! This is our tree. You can't cut it down. It is our friend. We play here every day. Please leave it alone."
+
+The men were surprised. They saw the two children and their faces. They saw how much they cared for the tree. They felt sorry for them. They said, "We are sorry, kids. We didn't know this was your tree. We have to cut some trees, but we can spare this one. We will let it grow and be your friend. But you have to promise to take good care of it and share it with other children."
+
+Ben and Mia were happy. They thanked the men and hugged their tree. They promised to do what they said. They were glad their tree was safe. They learned that sometimes they had to speak up for what they loved. They also learned that new trees could grow and be friends too. They went back to their game and smiled.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park near the river. One day, it rained a lot. The river got bigger and bigger. It was a flood.
+
+Lily and Ben saw the water coming. They ran to the big tree. They climbed up the tree. They were scared. They saw their toys and bikes in the water. They cried.
+
+A man came in a boat. He saw Lily and Ben in the tree. He shouted, "I will save you!" He came closer to the tree. He threw a rope to Lily and Ben. He said, "Hold on to the rope!"
+
+Lily and Ben held on to the rope. The man pulled them to the boat. They were happy. They thanked the man. The man said, "You are welcome. I have some yummy cookies for you. Do you want some?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were hungry. They took the cookies from the man. They bit the cookies. But the cookies were not yummy. They were yucky. They were salty and bitter. They spit out the cookies. They looked at the man. The man was not a man. He was a monster. He had big teeth and claws. He laughed. He said, "I tricked you. You are not my friends. You are my food." He grabbed Lily and Ben. He ate them. The end.
+Tim and Mia like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green. They have fun with the blocks.
+
+One day, they see a new block in the box. It is brown and furry. It has eyes and a nose and a mouth. It looks like a bear. Tim and Mia are curious. They want to play with the furry block.
+
+"Hello, furry block," Tim says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The furry block does not answer. It just looks at Tim and Mia.
+
+"Maybe it is shy," Mia says. "Let's build something for it. Maybe it will like it."
+
+Tim and Mia start to build a house for the furry block. They use red and blue and yellow and green blocks. They make a door and a window and a roof. They put the furry block inside the house.
+
+"Look, furry block," Mia says. "We made a house for you. Do you like it?"
+
+The furry block does not answer. It just looks at Mia and Tim.
+
+"Maybe it is hungry," Tim says. "Let's find some food for it. Maybe it will like it."
+
+Tim and Mia look for some food for the furry block. They find some crackers and cheese and grapes and juice. They put the food on a plate and bring it to the house. They give the plate to the furry block.
+
+"Look, furry block," Tim says. "We found some food for you. Do you like it?"
+
+The furry block does not answer. It just looks at Tim and Mia.
+
+"Maybe it is sad," Mia says. "Let's hug it and make it happy. Maybe it will like it."
+
+Tim and Mia hug the furry block. They are gentle and kind. They say nice words to the furry block.
+
+"Look, furry block," Mia says. "We hug you and make you happy. Do you like it?"
+
+The furry block does not answer. It just looks at Mia and Tim.
+
+Then, something happens. The furry block moves. It opens its mouth. It bites Tim's thumb.
+
+"Ow!" Tim says. "The furry block bit me!"
+
+Tim and Mia are surprised and scared. They drop the furry block. They run away from the house.
+
+The furry block is not a block. It is a real bear. It was hiding in the box. It was waiting for a chance to escape. It does not like blocks or houses or food or hugs. It likes to bite and growl and run.
+
+The bear runs out of the house. It knocks down the blocks. It eats the food. It growls and runs away.
+
+Tim and Mia watch the bear. They are sad and angry. They do not like the bear. They do not want to play with it.
+
+"Bad bear!" Tim says. "You are not a furry block. You are a mean bear. You ruined our game. You hurt my thumb. Go away!"
+
+"Bad bear!" Mia says. "You are not a furry block. You are a mean bear. You broke our house. You ate our food. You scared us. Go away!"
+
+The bear does not listen. It does not care. It just runs away.
+
+Tim and Mia hug each other. They are glad they are safe. They are sorry they lost their furry block. They do not want to play with blocks anymore. They want to play with something else.
+
+The end.

+
+One day, her mom took her to the park. There were many kids there, playing with balls, swings, and slides. Sara wanted to play too, but she did not know how to join them. She sat on a bench and watched them.

+
+Sara looked at him and whispered, "Sara."
+
+"Do you want to play with me?" Ben asked. "We can throw the ball and catch it. It's fun."
+
+Sara nodded. She liked balls. She took the ball from Ben and threw it to him. He caught it and threw it back. They did this for a while, and Sara started to smile.

+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. One day, they find a big book on the shelf. It has many pictures of animals and plants.
+
+"Look, Ben, a big book!" Lila says. "Let's read it together."
+
+"OK, Lila, but it is very heavy. We need to be strong to carry it." Ben says. He tries to lift the book, but it is too hard. He drops it on the floor.
+
+"Ouch! That hurt!" Ben says. He rubs his foot.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. Are you OK?" Lila says. She hugs him.
+
+"I'm OK, Lila. Thank you." Ben says. He smiles.
+
+"Let's try again. We can do it together. We are strong." Lila says. She holds one side of the book, and Ben holds the other. They lift the book slowly and carefully. They bring it to the bed.
+
+"Yay! We did it!" Lila and Ben say. They high-five each other.
+
+They sit on the bed and open the book. They see many colorful pages. They point at the animals and plants and say their names. They learn new words and facts. They have fun.
+
+They also rock on the bed. They pretend they are on a boat. They make waves with their arms. They laugh and sing.
+
+"Rock, rock, rock the boat. Don't let the book fall out." Lila and Ben sing.
+
+They rock too much. The book slides off the bed. It lands on the floor with a thud.
+

+
+Ben sees the sign and walks to the kitchen. He says "Hello, I want to eat at Sara's Cafe. What do you have?" Sara looks at her toys and says "I have tea, juice, cookies, bread and cheese. What do you want?" Ben says "I want tea and cookies, please."
+
+Sara takes a toy teapot and two toy cups. She pours some water from a bottle into the teapot. She pretends it is hot tea. She takes two toy cookies from a plate. She puts them on a napkin. She serves the tea and cookies to Ben on a tray. She says "Here you go. Enjoy your tea and cookies. They are very yummy."
+
+Ben takes a sip of the water and a bite of the cookie. He makes a happy sound. He says "Thank you, Sara. This is very good. You are a great cook. I like your sign. It is very sweet."

+
+Anna took a lemon and smelled it. It was sour and fresh. She wanted to try it. She bit into the lemon and made a funny face. It was too sour! She spit it out and ran to get some water.
+
+Her mom saw her and laughed. She said, "Lemons are not for eating, Anna. They are for making juice. We need lemon juice for the cake. It makes it sweet and moist."
+
+She showed Anna how to cut the lemon and squeeze it. She let Anna squeeze some juice into a cup. Then she added some sugar and water and stirred it. She said, "This is lemonade. It is a drink. You can try some, but be careful. It is still a little sour."
+
+Anna took a sip of the lemonade. It was sour and sweet and cold. She liked it. She said, "Thank you, mom. Lemonade is good. But I will not eat lemons again. They are not normal food. They are for making juice and cake."
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "You are welcome, Anna. You are a good helper. And you are right. Lemons are not normal food. But they are good for many things. They can prevent colds and make things smell nice. And they can make us happy with their bright color and flavor."

+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside with their ball. One day, it is very cloudy and dark. Mom says, "It will rain soon. Come inside and have some food." But Tim and Sam do not listen. They are careless. They want to play more.
+
+The rain starts to fall. It is cold and wet. Tim and Sam are still playing. They do not see the big puddle. They kick the ball into the puddle. Splash! The ball is wet and dirty. Tim and Sam are wet and dirty too. They are sad. They want their ball back.
+
+Mom sees them from the window. She is not happy. She says, "You are careless. You did not listen to me. Now you are wet and dirty and your ball is ruined. Come inside and change your clothes.

+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a big axe that their dad gave them to chop wood. One day, they found a big tree with many apples on it.
+
+"Let's chop this tree and get the apples!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, but we have to share them," Sam said.
+
+They took turns to use the axe and cut the tree. It was hard work, but they were happy. Soon, the tree fell down and the apples rolled on the ground.
+
+"Wow, look at all these apples!" Tom said. "They are so red and juicy!"
+
+He ran to the apples and started to pick them up. He put them in a big basket that he brought.
+
+"Hey, Tom, leave some for me!" Sam said. "We have to share, remember?"
+
+But Tom was selfish. He did not want to share. He wanted all the apples for himself.
+
+"No, they are mine!" Tom said. "I chopped the tree more than you. You are lazy and slow. Go away!"
+
+He pushed Sam away and set the basket on his bike. He tried to ride away with the apples.
+
+Sam was angry and sad. He did not like Tom's selfishness. He wanted to have some apples too. He was not lazy and slow. He chopped the tree as much as Tom.
+
+He ran after Tom and grabbed the basket. He pulled it hard and tried to take it from Tom.
+
+"Give me the basket!" Sam said. "You are selfish and mean. We have to share!"
+
+They both pulled the basket and fought over it. They did not see the big rock on the road. They hit the rock and fell off their bike. The basket flew in the air and landed on the ground. The apples spilled out and rolled away.
+
+Some birds saw the apples and flew down. They pecked at the apples and ate them. They made loud noises and flapped their wings.
+
+Tom and Sam looked at the birds and the apples. They felt sorry and silly. They wasted their hard work and their apples. They were too selfish and mean to each other.
+
+They got up and hugged each other. They said sorry and forgave each other.
+
+"Let's not fight again," Tom said. "We are brothers and we have to share."
+
+"OK, let's be friends," Sam said. "We can find more apples and chop more wood. But we have to be careful and kind."
+
+They smiled and walked back to their bike. They left the axe on the ground. They did not need it anymore. They had each other.
+Tim and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park. There was a big slide in the park. Tim and Mia wanted to go on the slide, but there was a problem. A big boy was blocking the slide. He said, "This is my slide. You can't go on it."
+
+Tim and Mia were sad. They did not like the big boy. He was mean and rude. They wanted to go on the slide, but they were afraid of the big boy. He was bigger and stronger than them.
+
+One day, Tim had an idea. He said to Mia, "I have a plan. We can go on the slide. We just need to be brave and fast." Mia said, "What is your plan?" Tim said, "You will see. Follow me."
+
+Tim and Mia ran to the slide. The big boy saw them and said, "Hey, stop! This is my slide. You can't go on it." But Tim and Mia did not stop. They ran past the big boy. Tim said, "Sorry, we can't hear you." Mia said, "Bye, bye, big boy."
+
+The big boy was angry. He tried to catch Tim and Mia. He ran after them. But he was not careful. He did not see the ball on the ground. He stepped on the ball and slipped. He fell down and hit his head. He said, "Ow, ow, ow."
+
+Tim and Mia reached the slide. They climbed up and slid down. They had fun on the slide. They laughed and cheered. They said, "We did it. We are brave and fast. We are not afraid of the big boy."
+
+The big boy was still on the ground. He was hurt and sad. He said, "No one likes me. No one plays with me. I wish I had friends." Tim and Mia heard him. They felt sorry for him. They said, "Maybe you can be our friend. But you have to be nice and share. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The big boy thought for a moment. He said, "Yes, I want to play with you. I'm sorry I was mean and rude. I was lonely and bored. Can you forgive me?" Tim and Mia said, "Yes, we can forgive you. But you have to promise to be nice and share." The big boy said, "I promise. Thank you for being kind to me."
+
+Tim and Mia helped the big boy get up. They gave him a hug. They said, "You're welcome. Come on, let's play." The big boy smiled. He said, "Okay, let's play." They all went to the slide. They took turns and had fun. They became friends. They learned to be brave, fast, nice and share.
+Lily and Sam were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. But they were afraid of sharks. They had seen a big shark on TV and it looked scary.
+
+"Mom, are there sharks in the sea?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, honey, there are no sharks here. This is a safe beach. You can swim and have fun," Mom said.
+
+"Are you sure, Mom?" Sam said. "What if a shark comes and bites us?"
+
+"Don't worry, Sam. Sharks don't like noisy places. They like quiet and deep water. And we are very noisy, right?" Mom said.
+
+"Yes, we are!" Lily and Sam said. They laughed and made loud noises. They sang and shouted and clapped their hands.
+
+The shark that was swimming nearby heard the noises. He did not like them. He thought they were annoying and rude. He wanted to swim away and find a peaceful spot. But he also wanted to improve his skills. He wanted to be a fast and strong shark. He wanted to catch more fish and impress his friends.
+
+He decided to swim closer to the beach and see what was making the noises. Maybe he could scare them and make them stop. Maybe he could show them who was the boss of the sea.
+
+He swam faster and faster. He saw the waves and the sand. He saw the people and the toys. He saw Lily and Sam. They were still making noises. They did not see him.
+
+He opened his mouth and showed his teeth. He was ready to attack. He was ready to roar.
+
+But then he felt something. Something hard and sharp. Something that hurt his nose. He stopped and looked. It was a shovel. A metal shovel. Lily had thrown it at him. She had seen him and she was brave.
+
+"Go away, shark! Go away!" Lily yelled. "You are not welcome here! This is our beach!"
+
+The shark was surprised and scared. He had never been hit by a shovel before. He had never been yelled at by a little girl before. He felt pain and shame. He turned around and swam away. He did not want to improve his skills anymore. He just wanted to be alone.
+
+Lily and Sam hugged each other. They were happy and proud. They had chased away the shark. They had saved the beach.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you are amazing!" Sam said.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. You are amazing too!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to their mom and dad and told them what had happened. Mom and dad were shocked and proud. They hugged and kissed them. They said they were very brave and smart.
+
+They decided to leave the beach and go to the ice cream shop. They wanted to celebrate and have a treat. They did not want to see any more sharks. They had had enough of them.
+
+They walked away from the water and the sand. They did not hear the shark. He was still swimming away. He was still feeling sorry for himself. He did not like noisy places. He did not like shovels. He did not like Lily and Sam. He did not like the beach.
+Sara and Lily are best friends. They like to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Sara finds a shiny bracelet in her mom's closet. It has many colors and makes a nice sound when she moves it.

+"Look, Lily, what I have!" Sara says, holding the bracelet in her hand. "It is so pretty and lively. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lily nods and smiles. She loves shiny things. She takes the bracelet from Sara and puts it on her wrist. She feels happy and special.
+
+"Wow, you look like a princess, Lily!" Sara says. "Can I have it back for a minute? I want to see how it looks on me."
+
+Lily shakes her head. She likes the bracelet too much. She does not want to give it back. She holds it tight and says, "No, it is mine now. I found it first."
+
+Sara feels sad and angry. She did not find it first. She found it in her mom's closet. She wants to share it with Lily, but Lily is being mean. She tries to pull the bracelet from Lily, but Lily pulls harder. They start to fight and yell.
+
+"Stop it, girls!" Sara's mom says, coming into the room. She sees the bracelet and recognizes it. It is her bracelet. She got it as a gift from her grandma. She is not happy that Sara took it without asking. She is also not happy that Sara and Lily are fighting over it. She takes the bracelet from them and says, "This is not your bracelet. This is my bracelet. You should not take things that are not yours. And you should not fight with your friends. You should be kind and share. Say sorry to each other and hug."
+
+Sara and Lily feel sorry. They know they did something wrong. They say sorry to each other and hug. They also say sorry to Sara's mom and promise to not take her things again. Sara's mom forgives them and hugs them too. She says, "It is okay. I love you both. You are still my best friends. But next time, ask me before you play with my things. And maybe I will let you borrow my bracelet sometimes, if you are good and careful."
+
+Sara and Lily smile and nod. They are happy again. They decide to play with something else. They find some stickers and make cards for each other. They write, "You are my best friend. I love you." They give each other the cards and the stickers. They are happy to share and to be kind. They are happy to have each other.

+
+"Emma, can I try the swings too?" asked Lily.
+
+"Sure, come on!" said Emma.
+
+Lily sat on the swing and started to rock back and forth. She went higher and higher until she felt like she was flying. She was so happy that she forgot all about being envious of Emma. 
+
+After a while, Lily got tired and went to sit on a rock. Emma came over and asked, "Did you like the swings?"
+
+"Yes, they were so fun!" said Lily.
+
+"I'm glad you liked them," said Emma.

+And they both smiled and played together for the rest of the day. The end.

+Lily's brother, Jack, watched her and said, "You look like a real queen! Can you give me a tip on how to act like one?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Sure! Just act like you're in charge and be kind to everyone."

+Suddenly, Jack tripped and fell. He hurt his knee and started to cry. Lily rushed over to him and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you. Let's go get a band-aid for your hurt knee."

+Jack smiled and said, "Thanks, Lily. You're the best sister ever!"

+
+The next day, Lily's friend came to play again. But this time, she brought a fake beetle. Lily was confused and asked her friend why she brought a fake beetle. Her friend said that she wanted to play a trick on Lily. But Lily didn't mind, she was happy with her real beetle friend in its little house.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to look up at the sky and see the stars in space. He thought they were very pretty. One day, Timmy's dad gave him a useful telescope so he could see the stars even better.
+
+Timmy used his telescope every night and saw many stars. One night, he saw a shooting star strike across the sky. He was very excited and told his mom and dad all about it. They were happy that Timmy got to see something so special.

+Her mom told her not to be afraid of dogs and that they can be friendly. Lily's mom brought her closer to the dog and showed her how to pet it gently. The dog was happy and wagged its tail. 
+
+From that day on, Lily was not scared of dogs anymore. She even started to bring treats for the dogs in the park. Sometimes, she would see a human who was scared of dogs too. She would bring them over to the friendly dogs and show them how to pet them gently. Everyone was happy and Lily felt proud of herself for helping others.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the park. One day, while she was playing, she saw a pigeon. The pigeon was big and grey. Lily thought the pigeon was very pretty.
+
+Lily wanted to get closer to the pigeon, but she didn't want to scare it. She walked slowly and quietly towards the pigeon. When she got close, the pigeon flew away. Lily was sad that the pigeon was scared of her.
+
+She tried to find the pigeon again, but it was hard to see in the sky. Lily learned that it's important to be gentle and quiet around animals so they don't get scared.
+Lila and Tom were playing on the beach. They saw a big boat with a big anchor. The anchor was rusty and old. It looked like it could rot and break.
+
+"Let's go and touch the anchor!" Tom said. He ran towards the boat.
+
+"No, Tom, wait!" Lila said. She was scared. She knew the boat was not safe. "The anchor could hurt you!"
+
+But Tom did not listen. He climbed on the boat and reached for the anchor. He pulled hard, but the anchor did not move. He pulled harder, and the anchor snapped. It fell on Tom's foot and made him cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom screamed. He was in pain. He could not move his foot.
+
+Lila ran to help him. She saw blood on his foot. She was very worried. She called for help.
+
+Soon, a man came. He was the owner of the boat. He saw what happened and was angry.
+
+"What are you doing on my boat?" he shouted. "You broke my anchor! You are naughty children!"
+
+He lifted Tom and carried him to his car. He drove him to the hospital. Lila followed him. She was sorry for Tom.
+
+At the hospital, the doctor fixed Tom's foot. He gave him a bandage and a medicine. He told him to rest and be careful.
+
+Tom felt better, but he was still sad. He looked at Lila and said, "I'm sorry, Lila. I was silly. I should have listened to you. You were right. The anchor was not a toy. It was dangerous."
+
+Lila smiled and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You are my friend. But next time, please be more careful. And don't touch things that are not yours. They could rot and hurt you."
+
+Tom nodded and hugged her back. He said, "Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend. And you are very graceful. You helped me and did not get angry. You are kind and smart."
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect other people's things, to listen to their friends, and to be graceful in their actions. They also learned to stay away from rusty anchors.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a big box with dirt and seeds. They plant the seeds and water them every day. They want to grow herbs for their mom.
+
+One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It has sharp claws and a long beak. It is a hawk. It is fierce and hungry. It sees the herbs in the box and wants to eat them.
+
+"Look, Ben, a hawk!" Sara says. "It is coming to our herbs!"
+
+"We have to stop it!" Ben says. "It will ruin our plants!"
+
+They run to the box and wave their arms. They shout and make noise. They try to scare the hawk away.
+
+But the hawk is not afraid. It swoops down and grabs a handful of herbs in its talons. It flies away with its meal.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara cries. "It took our herbs!"
+
+"Bad hawk!" Ben yells. "Give them back!"
+
+They are sad and angry. They worked hard to grow the herbs. They wanted to feed them to their mom.
+
+They go inside and tell their mom what happened. She hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. That hawk was very rude. But don't worry, we still have some herbs in the kitchen. And you can plant more seeds tomorrow. You are very good gardeners."
+
+She makes them a snack with bread and cheese and some of the herbs. They eat and feel better. They still don't like the hawk, but they are happy to share their herbs with their mom.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They were very happy and laughed a lot.
+
+"Look, Anna, there is a pond with ducks!" Ben said, pointing to the water. "Let's go and see them!"
+
+"Okay, Ben, let's go!" Anna said, following him. They ran to the pond and saw the ducks swimming and quacking. They were brown, white and black, and had shiny feathers.
+
+"Hello, ducks!" Anna said, waving to them. "Do you want some bread?"
+
+The ducks heard Anna and came closer to the edge of the pond. They looked at Anna and Ben with their small eyes and nodded their heads.
+
+"Yes, please, we are hungry!" one of the ducks said, speaking to Anna and Ben. "Thank you for being thoughtful and kind!"
+
+Anna and Ben were very surprised and happy. They had never heard a duck speak before. They smiled and broke some bread into pieces. They threw the bread into the water and watched the ducks eat it.
+
+"Thank you, Anna and Ben!" the ducks said, after they finished the bread. "You are very nice and friendly!"
+
+"You are welcome, ducks!" Anna and Ben said, feeling glad. "We like you too!"
+
+They stayed with the ducks for a while, talking and playing. They learned the ducks' names and stories. They had a lot of fun and made new friends. They were very happy and laughed a lot.
+Sara and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Tom has a car. They are having fun, but they are also making a lot of noise.
+
+"Shh, be quiet!" Mom says from the kitchen. "Dad is working on his board in his room. He needs to be open and think hard. Do you remember what a board is?"
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They remember that a board is a big thing that Dad uses to write and draw on. Sometimes he lets them use it too, but only with his special pens.
+
+"Can we see his board?" Sara asks.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. He is very busy. Maybe later, when he is done. Why don't you play something else?" Mom says.
+
+Sara and Tom look at each other. They want to see Dad's board, but they also want to be good. They decide to play something else.
+
+They go to their room and find a big box. They open the box and see many things inside. They see books, clothes, toys, and pictures. They start to take them out and look at them.
+
+"Look, this is me when I was a baby!" Sara says, holding a picture.
+
+"And this is me when I was a baby!" Tom says, holding another picture.
+
+They laugh and compare their pictures. They see how much they have grown and changed. They also see Mom and Dad in the pictures, smiling and hugging them.
+
+They feel happy and warm. They remember how much they love their family. They put the pictures back in the box and close it.
+
+They go back to the living room and hug Mom. They tell her they love her and they are sorry for being noisy.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them back. She tells them she loves them too and she is proud of them.
+
+She says Dad is almost done with his board and he will come and play with them soon.
+
+They wait for Dad, excited and curious. They wonder what he has written and drawn on his board. They hope he will let them use it too. They know he will. He always does.
+Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big lake with many ducks and swans. Lily liked the swans. They were white and graceful. She wanted to touch one.
+
+"Mom, can I touch a swan?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily, you can't. Swans are not pets. They can bite you if you disturb them. They need their space. You can look at them from far away, but don't go too close," Mom said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She saw a swan that was sleeping on the grass. She thought it was cute and harmless. She ran towards it and tried to stroke its feathers.
+
+The swan woke up and was angry. It hissed and flapped its wings. It pecked Lily's hand and made her cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Mom, help!" Lily screamed.
+
+Mom ran to Lily and picked her up. She checked her hand and saw a small cut. She cleaned it with a tissue and put a band-aid on it.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I was bad. I disturbed the swan. It hurt me," Lily sobbed.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're not hurt badly. But you have to learn to respect the animals. They are not toys. They have feelings and needs. They can be interesting to watch, but you have to be careful and gentle with them," Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded and hugged Mom. She said sorry to the swan too. The swan calmed down and went back to sleep. Lily and Tom learned a lesson that day. They enjoyed the rest of the park, but they did not disturb the swans again.
+Sara liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was a pink doll with long hair and a dress. She named her doll Lily and took her everywhere.
+
+One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and Lily. She saw a friendly girl on the swings. The girl had a blue doll with short hair and a hat. She named her doll Max and liked to swing him high.
+
+Sara and the girl smiled at each other and said hello. They decided to play together. Sara asked the girl if she could borrow Max for a while. The girl said yes and asked Sara if she could borrow Lily for a while. Sara said yes and they swapped dolls.
+
+They had fun playing with each other's dolls. They pretended that Max and Lily were friends too. They made them talk and laugh and hug. They swung them on the swings and slid them on the slide. They had a picnic with them and shared their snacks.
+
+After a while, Sara and the girl said goodbye. They thanked each other for letting them borrow their dolls. They gave back their dolls and hugged. They said they hoped to see each other again. Sara and the girl left the park with their moms and their dolls. They were happy and had a good day.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big hole in the fence. They wanted to know what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go and look," said Lily.
+
+"But how?" asked Tom. "The hole is too small for us."
+
+Lily had an idea. She found a big stick and pushed it through the hole. She felt something soft and furry.
+
+"Wow, there is an animal here!" she said. "I think it is a rabbit."
+
+"Can I touch it?" said Tom. He took the stick from Lily and tried to squeeze the rabbit.
+
+"Ouch!" they heard a voice from the other side. "That hurts! Stop it!"
+
+They dropped the stick and ran away. They were scared and curious.
+
+"Who was that?" said Lily.
+
+"I don't know," said Tom. "But it was interesting."
+Tim and Sue want to go to the zoo. They have a ticket each. They are very happy. They run to the bus stop.
+
+But the bus is late. They wait and wait. They are very bored. They look at their tickets. They are green and shiny.
+
+"Look, Tim, my ticket has a picture of a lion. What does your ticket have?" Sue asks.
+
+Tim looks at his ticket. He sees something brown and fuzzy. He does not know what it is.
+
+"I don't know, Sue. Maybe it is a bear. Or a monkey. Or a big rat," he says.
+
+They look closer. They see that the brown thing has holes and spots. It smells bad. It is not a picture. It is something else.
+
+"Yuck, Tim, your ticket is rot! It is not good. It is bad. It is hard and old. How did you get it?" Sue says.
+
+Tim feels sad. He does not know how he got a rot ticket. He thinks someone gave it to him by mistake. He wants a good ticket like Sue.
+
+"I don't know, Sue. I got it from the man at the store. He said it was a good ticket. He lied to me. He was mean. He gave me a rot ticket," he says.
+
+They hear the bus coming. They are happy again. They run to the bus. They show their tickets to the driver.
+
+The driver looks at Sue's ticket. He smiles and says, "Good ticket. You can go to the zoo. Have fun."
+
+He looks at Tim's ticket. He frowns and says, "Bad ticket. You cannot go to the zoo. This ticket is rot. It is hard and old. It is no good. You need a new ticket."
+
+Tim feels sad again. He does not have a new ticket. He cannot go to the zoo. He wants to see the animals. He wants to be with Sue.
+
+"Please, mister, can I go to the zoo? I want to see the lion and the bear and the monkey. I want to be with Sue. Please, please, please," he begs.
+
+The driver shakes his head and says, "No, no, no. You need a new ticket. This ticket is rot. It is hard and old. It is no good. Go away."
+
+Tim cries. He does not know what to do. He looks at Sue. She looks at him. She feels sorry for him. She has an idea.
+
+She tears her ticket in half. She gives one half to Tim. She says, "Here, Tim, you can have half of my ticket. We can share. We can both go to the zoo. We can both see the animals. We can both be happy."
+
+Tim stops crying. He smiles. He takes the half ticket from Sue. He says, "Thank you, Sue. You are very nice. You are very kind. You are my friend."
+
+They show their half tickets to the driver. He looks at them. He sees that they are green and shiny. He sees that they have pictures of animals. He sees that they are not rot. He sees that they are good.
+
+He smiles and says, "Good tickets. You can go to the zoo. Have fun."
+
+They get on the bus. They sit together. They hold their half tickets. They are very happy. They go to the zoo. They see the lion and the bear and the monkey. They have fun. They are friends.
+Lily was very brave. She had a big ouch in her ear. The doctor said she needed an operation to make it better. Lily was scared, but her mom and dad hugged her and said they would be with her.
+
+The day of the operation came. Lily wore a soft gown and a funny hat. The nurse gave her a sticker and a teddy bear. She said, "Lily, you are going to sleep for a little while. When you wake up, your ear will feel much better. Don't worry, we will take good care of you."
+
+Lily nodded and held her teddy bear. She saw her mom and dad smile and wave. She said, "I love you, mom and dad." They said, "We love you too, Lily. See you soon." The nurse wheeled Lily to a big room with a lot of machines. She put a mask on Lily's face and said, "Breathe deeply, Lily. You will have sweet dreams."
+
+Lily breathed deeply and felt sleepy. She closed her eyes and dreamed of playing in the park with her friends. She did not feel any pain.
+
+When Lily woke up, she was in another room. She saw her mom and dad sitting next to her bed. They looked happy and relieved. They said, "Lily, you did great! The operation is over. Your ear is all fixed. How do you feel?" Lily felt a little dizzy and sore. She said, "I feel okay. Can I have some juice?" They said, "Yes, you can have some juice. And some ice cream later. You are very brave, Lily. We are so proud of you."
+
+Lily smiled and drank some juice. She felt her mom and dad kiss her forehead. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. Thank you, nurse. Thank you, doctor." They said, "You are very welcome, Lily. You are a wonderful girl. Now you need to rest and heal. You will be home soon." Lily cuddled her teddy bear and closed her eyes. She felt happy and safe. She rested and healed.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were explorers in a jungle. They used sticks as swords and vines as ropes. They swung from the vines and cut through the leaves.
+
+"Look, Anna, I found a treasure!" Ben shouted. He held up a shiny stone he had dug up from the dirt. "It's a magic jewel!"
+
+Anna ran over to see. She wanted to touch the stone, but Ben pulled it away. "No, it's mine! I found it first!" he said.
+
+Anna felt sad and angry. She thought Ben was not being honest. She thought they were supposed to share everything. She tried to grab the stone from him, but he pushed her away. They started to fight.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big lion coming out of the bushes. It had yellow eyes and sharp teeth. It looked hungry and angry.
+
+Anna and Ben were very scared. They dropped the stone and ran to the house. They forgot about the vines and got tangled in them. They could not move. They felt like they were going to freeze.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cried. "There's a lion!"
+
+Their mom heard them and came out. She saw the lion and grabbed a broom. She waved it at the lion and shouted. The lion was afraid of the noise and ran away.
+
+Mom untangled Anna and Ben from the vines and hugged them. She was glad they were safe. She asked them what happened.
+
+Anna and Ben told her about the stone and the fight. They felt sorry for being mean to each other. They said they were sorry and hugged each other.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you are honest and sorry. Fighting is not good. Sharing is good. Friends are good."
+
+She picked up the stone and gave it to them. She said, "This is not a magic jewel. It's just a pretty rock. But it can be a reminder of your friendship. You can keep it together and play with it nicely."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and thanked Mom. They took the stone and went back to the garden. They decided to play something else. They were happy and friendly. They learned a lesson.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing on the swings, slide on the slides, and run on the grass. But they did not like the maze. The maze was big and dark and scary. They were fearful of the maze.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben were swinging on the swings. They saw a new boy in the park. He was swinging on the swing next to them. He had a big smile and a red hat. He said hello to them.
+
+"Hi, I'm Tom. Do you want to play with me?" he asked.
+
+"Sure, we can play with you. What do you want to play?" Lily said.
+
+"Let's play in the maze. It's fun and exciting. Come on, follow me!" Tom said.
+
+He jumped off the swing and ran to the maze. Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to play in the maze. They were fearful of the maze.
+
+"Tom, wait! We don't like the maze. It's big and dark and scary. We want to play something else." Ben said.
+
+But Tom did not hear them. He was already inside the maze. He was laughing and shouting.
+
+"Come on, don't be scared. The maze is not scary. It's just a game. You can find your way out. It's easy. Trust me!" he said.
+
+Lily and Ben did not trust him. They were fearful of the maze. But they did not want to lose their new friend. They wanted to play with him. They decided to be brave and try the maze.
+
+They held hands and walked slowly to the maze. They entered the maze. They saw many paths and walls and turns. They did not know which way to go. They tried to follow Tom's voice, but it was hard to hear. They felt lost and alone. They were fearful of the maze.
+
+They wished they were back on the swings. They wished they had never met Tom. They wished they could get out of the maze. They started to cry.
+
+"Help! Help! We want to get out! We don't like the maze!" they cried.
+
+Then they heard a familiar voice. It was Tom. He had found them. He had a big smile and a red hat. He was holding a map.
+
+"Don't cry, don't cry. I'm here to help you. I have a map. I know the way out. Follow me!" he said.
+
+He took their hands and led them through the maze. He showed them the right paths and turns. He made jokes and songs. He made them laugh and smile. He was not fearful of the maze. He was fun and kind.
+
+Soon they reached the exit. They saw the sun and the sky and the park. They felt happy and relieved. They were out of the maze.
+
+"See, that was not so bad. That was fun and exciting. You did it! You were brave and smart. You should be proud of yourselves!" Tom said.
+
+He hugged them and gave them the map.
+
+"Here, you can keep the map. Next time, you can play in the maze again. Or you can play something else. I don't mind. I just want to be your friend." he said.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and thanked him. They looked at the map. They looked at the maze. They looked at each other. They were not fearful of the maze anymore. They were curious and adventurous. They wanted to play with Tom again.
+
+They decided to give the maze another try. They followed the map and explored the maze. They had fun and exciting. They were friends.
+Tim is a dog who likes to dig. He digs in the yard, he digs in the park, he digs in the sand. One day, he digs a big hole and finds a bone. He is very happy and runs away with the bone.
+
+But Tom is another dog who sees Tim with the bone. He wants the bone too. He runs after Tim and barks. Tim hears Tom and gets scared. He does not want to share the bone. He runs faster and faster.
+
+They run and run until they reach a road. There are many cars on the road. They are loud and fast. Tim and Tom do not see the cars. They only see the bone. They run into the road and try to get the bone.
+
+But a car sees them and stops. It honks and scares them. Tim and Tom drop the bone and run away. They are very lucky. They are not hurt by the car. But they are sad. They lost the bone.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn that being greedy is bad. They learn that sharing is good. They learn that bones are not worth more than friends. They say sorry to each other and hug. They go back to the park and play. They are happy.
+Sara is a fat cat who likes to sleep all day. She does not like to play or run or jump. She only likes to eat and nap. One day, her mom takes her to the vet. The vet says Sara is too fat and needs to take a pill every day. Sara does not want to take the pill. She thinks it is yucky and bitter.
+
+The next morning, Sara's mom tries to give her the pill. She puts it in a piece of cheese and holds it out to Sara. Sara sniffs the cheese and smells the pill. She turns her head away and hisses. Sara's mom says, "Sara, you have to take the pill. It will make you feel better and healthier. Please, be a good cat and eat the cheese."
+
+Sara does not listen. She runs away and hides under the bed. Sara's mom follows her and tries to pull her out. Sara scratches and bites and growls. She does not want to come out. She does not want the pill. Sara's mom says, "Sara, stop it! You are hurting me and yourself. The pill is not that bad. It is just a little thing. Come on, let me give it to you."
+
+Sara still does not listen. She stays under the bed and makes angry noises. Sara's mom sighs and gives up. She leaves the cheese with the pill on the floor and hopes Sara will eat it later. She goes to the kitchen and makes a cup of tea. She is sad and worried about Sara. She loves Sara and wants her to be happy and healthy.
+
+Sara is also sad and worried. She does not like to fight with her mom. She loves her mom and wants her to be happy and proud. She peeks out from under the bed and sees the cheese with the pill on the floor. She thinks about the vet and what he said. She thinks about how hard it is to climb the stairs and how fast she gets tired. She thinks about how much she likes cheese and how little the pill is. She decides to be a brave and good cat. She crawls out from under the bed and eats the cheese with the pill. She licks her lips and purrs. She feels a little better already. She goes to the kitchen and rubs against her mom's leg. She says, "Meow, meow, meow." Sara's mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "Good girl, Sara. I'm so proud of you. You are a brave and good cat. I love you very much."

+
+One day, they see a big worm on the rock. It is brown and slimy. Lily screams and runs away. Ben laughs and picks up the worm. He says, "Look, Lily, it is a friend. It is not scary. It is soft and wiggly."
+
+Lily does not like the worm. She says, "No, Ben, it is not a friend. It is disgusting. It is dirty and icky. Put it down. It will make you sick."
+
+Ben does not listen. He says, "No, Lily, it is fun. It tickles my hand. I want to keep it. I will name it Wally."
+
+Lily shakes her head. She says, "You are silly, Ben. You cannot keep a worm. It needs soil and water. It does not belong on the rock. And you need to wash your hand. Come on, let's go to the shower."
+
+Ben makes a face. He says, "I do not want to go to the shower. The shower is cold and wet. It is not fun. I want to stay with Wally."
+
+Lily grabs Ben's hand. She says, "You have to go to the shower, Ben. Mommy said so. She said we have to be clean and tidy. And Wally has to go back to the garden. He will be happier there. Come on, Ben, please."
+
+Ben sighs. He says, "Okay, Lily, fine. But I will miss Wally. He is a good worm. Bye, Wally. See you later."

+They see a man in the temple. He is wearing a long robe. He is holding a book. He looks at Tom and Mia. He says, "Hello, children. Do you know what this is?"
+
+Tom and Mia shake their heads. They do not know.
+
+The man says, "This is a temple. It is a place where people come to pray and learn. It is very important. It is a gift from God."
+
+Tom and Mia look at each other. They do not understand. They do not know who God is. They do not know what pray and learn mean.
+
+They say, "Can we play here?"
+
+The man smiles. He says, "No, children. This is not a place to play. This is a place to be quiet and respectful. You can play in the park. But please do not touch the temple. It is very special."

+Lily and Tom talk. They share their dreams. They laugh. They are happy. They play with the poppies. They forget the bad dream. They have fun.
+On Tuesday, Sam and Mia went to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They also liked to share their toys and snacks with each other.
+
+But today, something weird happened. A big boy came to the park and took Sam's truck. He said it was his and he would not give it back. Sam was sad and angry. He tried to get his truck back, but the big boy pushed him away.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice!" Mia said. She ran to help her brother. She grabbed the truck from the big boy and gave it to Sam. "This is Sam's truck. You can't take it. You have to share."
+
+The big boy was mad. He yelled at Mia and tried to take the truck again. But Mia was brave and strong. She held on to the truck and said, "No, you can't have it. Go away!"

+Sam and Mia hugged each other. They were happy to have their truck back. They thanked Mia for being a good sister. They said they would always stick together and not let anyone separate them. They went back to playing and having fun. Their mom smiled and watched them. She was proud of them. She thought they were the best kids in the world.
+Tom and Mia like to play in the yard. They have a big pile of lumber that Dad uses to build things. Sometimes they pretend the lumber is a castle, or a boat, or a train.
+
+One day, they see a squirrel on the lumber. It has a big, bushy tail and shiny, black eyes. It looks at them and makes a funny noise. Tom and Mia want to pet the squirrel. They run to the lumber and try to catch it.
+
+But the squirrel is very fast and smart. It jumps from one piece of lumber to another, and then to a tree. Tom and Mia follow it, but they are not careful. They knock down some of the lumber and make a big, messy pile. They also get splinters and scratches on their hands and legs.
+
+Dad hears the noise and comes to the yard. He sees the mess and the kids. He is not happy. He tells them to stop chasing the squirrel and to clean up the lumber. He also gives them band-aids and hugs. He says they can play with the lumber, but they have to be gentle and safe.
+
+Tom and Mia say they are sorry and they help Dad. They also say goodbye to the squirrel, who is still in the tree. They hope it will come back another day, but they will not run after it. They will just watch it and smile.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big sack. They fill the sack with leaves and grass. They want to jump on the sack.
+
+"Ready, Sam?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, Tom!" Sam says.
+
+They run to the sack and jump on it. The sack is like a spring. It makes them bounce up and down. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But there is a dog in the park. The dog is deaf. He cannot hear Tom and Sam. He sees the sack. He thinks it is a toy. He runs to the sack and bites it.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Tom shouts.
+
+"Go away!" Sam cries.
+
+But the dog does not listen. He tears the sack. The leaves and grass fly out. Tom and Sam fall down. They are sad and angry.

+
+"Bad dog!" Tom says.
+
+"Bad dog!" Sam says.

+
+She walked around the park, looking behind trees and bushes and benches. She called out, "Max, where are you? I can't find you!" But Max did not answer. He was very good at hiding. He had found a big cardboard box near the trash cans and crawled inside. He was very quiet and still.
+
+Lily was getting tired of looking for Max. She was also getting hot and thirsty. The sun was shining brightly and there was no shade. She wished she had brought some water or juice. She decided to give up and go back to the swings. Maybe Max would come out if she did.
+
+She turned around and walked towards the swings. As she passed by the trash cans, she heard a small noise. It sounded like a giggle. She stopped and looked at the cardboard box. She saw a little hole in the side. She peeked through the hole and saw Max's face. He was smiling and laughing. He had seen her walk by and could not help himself.
+
+Lily was surprised and happy. She had found Max! She shouted, "I see you, Max! I see you!" She pulled the cardboard box away and revealed Max. He jumped out and hugged her.

+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big house with a pointy roof and a black cat in the window. Lily said, "That is a witch's house. Witches are bad and scary. We should not go near it." Ben disagreed. He said, "That is not a witch's house. Witches are not real. That is just a nice lady who likes cats. We should say hello to her."
+
+Lily and Ben argued for a while. They could not agree on who lived in the house. Then, they heard a voice from the door. It was the lady who owned the house. She said, "Hello, children. Do you want to come in and have some cookies and milk? I baked them this morning. They are very yummy." Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were both hungry and curious.
+
+They decided to go in and see for themselves. The lady was very kind and generous. She gave them cookies and milk and showed them her cat, who was named Fluffy. She also showed them her books and paintings and plants. She said, "I am not a witch. I am a teacher. I like to read and draw and grow flowers. Do you like these things too?" Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, we do. We are sorry we thought you were a witch. You are very nice and friendly."
+
+The lady smiled and said, "That's all right. I understand. Sometimes, things are not what they seem. Sometimes, we disagree with our friends. But we can always learn and share and be kind. That's what makes us friends." Lily and Ben agreed. They thanked the lady for the cookies and milk and said goodbye. They left the house feeling happy and full. They learned a new lesson that day. They learned that witches are not real, but friends are.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw an old jug on the table. It was big and brown and had a lid.
+
+"Let's see what's inside the jug," Lily said. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jug.
+
+"No, don't touch it!" Ben said. "Mom said it is locked. It has something bad inside. It can make us sick."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She grabbed the jug and tried to open the lid. She pulled and twisted and shook the jug. But the lid did not move. It was locked.
+
+Suddenly, the jug slipped from her hands and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. A dark liquid spilled out of the jug. It smelled bad.
+
+"Uh-oh," Lily said. "We are in trouble."
+
+Ben ran to get a towel. He tried to clean the mess. But the liquid stained the floor and the towel. It was sticky and icky.
+
+"Mom is going to be mad," Ben said. "What did you do, Lily?"
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "I wanted to see what was inside the jug. I didn't know it was locked. I didn't know it was bad."
+
+They heard Mom coming. They looked at each other. They were scared. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had not touched the old jug.
+Anna and Ben love to play hide and seek with their toys. They have a big box full of different animals, like a lion, a monkey, a giraffe and a panda. They take turns hiding the toys around the room and finding them.
+
+One day, Anna decides to be naughty and hide the panda in a very hard place. She puts it inside a pillowcase and then puts the pillow on the bed. She thinks Ben will never find it there.
+
+Ben starts to look for the panda. He looks under the table, behind the curtain, in the closet, but he cannot find it. He starts to feel sad and frustrated. He asks Anna for a hint, but she just giggles and says no.
+
+Ben decides to try one more place. He goes to the bed and lifts the pillow. He feels something soft and furry inside the pillowcase. He opens it and reveals the panda. He is so happy and surprised. He hugs the panda and says, "I found you!"
+
+Anna sees Ben's smile and feels sorry for being naughty. She runs to him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was just trying to make the game more fun. Do you forgive me?"
+
+Ben looks at Anna and nods. He says, "It's okay, Anna. You are my sister and I love you. But next time, don't hide the panda so well. He is my favorite toy."

+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go first. She runs to the slide and steps on the ladder. Ben is angry. He wants to go first too. He runs after Lily and pushes her. Lily falls off the ladder and hurts her knee. She cries.
+
+A man hears Lily's voice. He is the park keeper. He comes to see what is wrong. He sees Lily's knee and Ben's face. He knows what happened. He is not happy. He talks to Ben in a sour voice.

+Tim and Anna were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, Tim got a new wallet from his mom. It was blue and shiny and had a picture of a car on it. Tim was very happy with his wallet and showed it to Anna.
+
+"Wow, Tim, your wallet is so cool!" Anna said. "Can I see it?"
+
+"Sure, Anna, you can see it. But be careful, okay? It is very new and I don't want it to get dirty or broken," Tim said. He gave his wallet to Anna and she looked at it with wonder.
+
+Anna liked Tim's wallet very much. She wished she had a wallet like that too. She felt a little envious of Tim. She wanted to keep his wallet for herself. She thought of a plan. She pretended to cough and sneeze and said, "Tim, I don't feel well. Can you get me some water?"
+
+"Okay, Anna, I will get you some water. You stay here and rest. I will be back soon," Tim said. He was worried about Anna and wanted to help her. He left his wallet with Anna and ran to the kitchen.
+
+Anna waited until Tim was gone. Then she quickly put his wallet in her pocket and ran away. She thought she was very clever and that Tim would not notice. She did not think about how Tim would feel.
+
+Tim came back with a glass of water. He looked for Anna and his wallet, but he could not find them. He felt very sad and angry. He wondered where Anna went and why she took his wallet. He thought Anna was his friend, but she was not. He cried and cried.
+
+Anna ran to her home. She hid in her room and looked at Tim's wallet. She felt happy for a moment, but then she felt guilty and ashamed. She realized she did a bad thing. She hurt Tim's feelings and broke his trust. She did not want to keep his wallet anymore. She wanted to give it back and say sorry. She hoped Tim would forgive her and still be her friend.
+
+She took the wallet and ran back to Tim's house. She knocked on the door and saw Tim's mom. She said, "Hello, Mrs. Smith. I am sorry, but I have to tell you something. I did a bad thing. I took Tim's wallet and ran away. I was envious of him and I was selfish. But I don't want his wallet anymore. I want to give it back and say sorry. Can I see Tim, please?"
+
+Mrs. Smith was surprised and disappointed. She said, "Anna, I am glad you came back and told the truth. But you know you did a very wrong thing. You hurt Tim very much. He is in his room and he is very sad. You can see him, but you have to be very sorry and very nice. And you have to promise to never do something like that again."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "I promise, Mrs. Smith. I am very sorry and very nice. I want to heal Tim's heart and be his friend again."
+
+She went to Tim's room and knocked on the door. She said, "Tim, it's me, Anna. Can I come in?"
+
+Tim heard Anna's voice and felt a mix of feelings. He was still sad and angry, but he also missed Anna and wanted to hear what she had to say. He said, "Okay, Anna, you can come in. But don't touch my wallet."
+
+Anna opened the door and saw Tim sitting on his bed. He looked at her with a sad and angry face. She felt sorry and scared. She said, "Tim, I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry. I did a bad thing. I took your wallet and ran away. I was envious of you and I was selfish. But I don't want your wallet anymore. I want to give it back and say sorry. Here, take your wallet. It is yours and it is very cool. I hope you are not too mad at me. I hope you can forgive me and still be my friend."
+
+Tim looked at Anna and saw her tears and her regret. He felt his sadness and anger fade away. He took his wallet and said, "Thank you, Anna, for giving back my wallet. I am glad you told the truth and said sorry. I forgive you and I still want to be your friend. But you have to promise to never do something like that again. And you have to share your toys and snacks with me."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "I promise, Tim, I promise. I will never do something like that again. And I will share my toys and snacks with you. You are my best friend and I love you."
+
+Tim smiled and said, "You are
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play with clay. They made many things with clay, like animals, cars, and houses. One day, they decided to make a volcano with clay. They used a big bottle as the base and covered it with brown clay. They made a hole at the top and put some red clay inside.
+
+"Look, our volcano is ready!" Tom said. "Let's pretend it can erupt and make lava!"
+
+"How do we make lava?" Mia asked.
+
+"We need something that can melt and be hot and red," Tom said. He looked around and saw a box of crayons. He took some red crayons and broke them into pieces. He put them in a small pot and asked Mia to help him carry it to the kitchen.
+
+"Can we use the stove?" Mia asked.
+
+"Yes, but we have to be careful. It is very hot and can burn us," Tom said. He turned on the stove and put the pot on it. He watched as the crayons started to melt and become liquid.
+
+"Wow, it looks like lava!" Mia said.
+
+"Let's take it to our volcano and make it erupt!" Tom said. He used a big spoon to scoop some of the melted crayons and poured it into the hole of the volcano. The red liquid flowed down the sides of the volcano and made a mess on the floor.
+
+"It looks so cool!" Mia said.
+
+"It looks so rich!" Tom said.
+
+They heard a loud voice from the living room. It was Tom's mom.
+
+"Tom! Mia! What are you doing in the kitchen? Come here right now!"
+
+Tom and Mia looked at each other and ran to the living room. They saw Tom's mom holding a newspaper. She looked very angry.
+
+"Look at this! You ruined my newspaper with your crayons! It was a very important newspaper! It had a lot of rich people and their houses in it! How could you do this?"
+
+Tom and Mia felt very sorry. They did not mean to ruin the newspaper. They only wanted to play with their volcano.
+
+"We are sorry, mom. We did not know it was your newspaper. We were making lava for our volcano," Tom said.
+
+"Your volcano? What volcano?" Tom's mom asked.
+
+Tom and Mia took her to the kitchen and showed her their volcano. They explained how they made it with clay and crayons.
+
+Tom's mom looked at their volcano and the mess on the floor. She was still angry, but she also saw how creative and clever they were.
+
+"I see. You made a very nice volcano, but you also made a very big mess. You have to clean it up and apologize to me. And no more playing with crayons on the stove. It is very dangerous. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They said they were sorry and hugged Tom's mom. They cleaned up the mess and put away their volcano. They learned their lesson and promised to be more careful next time.
+Lila and Tom are at the store with Mom. They want to buy a new toy. Mom says they can choose one toy each, but it has to be cheap. Lila and Tom look at the shelves. There are many toys, but some are too big, some are too small, some are too loud, and some are too boring.
+
+Lila sees a doll with a pink dress and long hair. She likes the doll. She picks it up and looks at the price. It is not cheap. It is very expensive. She feels sad. She puts the doll back.
+
+Tom sees a car with big wheels and a horn. He likes the car. He picks it up and looks at the price. It is cheap. It is very cheap. He feels happy. He holds the car.

+Lila and Tom go to Mom. They show her what they want. Mom looks at the car and the doll. She says to Lila, "I'm sorry, honey, but the doll is too expensive. We can't buy it. You have to choose another toy. A cheap toy."
+
+Lila says, "But I love the doll. She is so pretty. Please, Mom, please."
+
+Mom says, "No, Lila, we have to be careful with our money. We can't buy everything we want. You have to find a cheap toy. Like Tom's car. It is a good toy. And it is cheap."
+
+Lila looks at Tom's car. She does not like the car. She thinks it is ugly. She says, "But I don't want a car. I want a doll. A doll with a pink dress and long hair."
+
+Tom says, "But the car is fun. It has big wheels and a horn. You can play with it. And it is cheap."
+
+Lila says, "I don't care. I don't like the car. I like the doll."
+
+Lila and Tom start to argue. They raise their voices. They make a lot of noise. Mom says, "Stop it, both of you. You are making a scene. You are being rude. You have to wait in line and pay for the car. And Lila, you have to choose another toy. Now."
+
+Lila and Tom stop arguing. They feel ashamed. They look at the floor. They follow Mom to the line. They wait for their turn. They pay for the car. Lila still does not have a toy. She feels sad. She wishes she had the doll. She wonders if she will ever find a cheap toy that she likes.
+Lily liked to play with her toy piano. She liked to make sounds with the keys and sing along. She wanted to be a musician when she grew up. She thought musicians were cool and fun.
+
+One day, her mom called her from the kitchen. "Lily, time for lunch!" she said. Lily did not want to stop playing. She wanted to finish her song. She ignored her mom and kept playing.
+
+Her mom called her again. "Lily, come on, your food is getting cold!" she said. Lily still did not listen. She played louder and louder. She thought her mom would like her music.
+
+Her mom got angry. She walked to Lily's room and saw her playing. She said, "Lily, why are you not listening to me? You have to come to the kitchen now. And you have to be quiet. Your dad is sleeping. He worked all night. He is also a musician, you know. He plays the guitar. But he needs rest. You are being very rude and noisy."
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not know her dad was a musician. She did not know he was sleeping. She did not want to make him sad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not hear you. I was having fun. I love music. I want to be like dad. Can I play with him later?"
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you love music. But you have to follow the rules. You have to eat your lunch. You have to be quiet when dad is sleeping. And you have to listen to me when I call you. If you do that, you can play with dad later. He will teach you some songs. He will be happy to see you. He loves you very much."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. I will do that. I love you too. And I love dad. And I love music." She hugged her mom and followed her to the kitchen. She ate her lunch and waited for dad to wake up. She was excited to play with him. She was a good girl and a good musician.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They live in a big city with many cars and buildings. They like to watch the city from their window. They see people, dogs, birds and buses.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna go to the park with their mom. They play on the swings and the slide. They have fun. Then they see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. It is very pretty.
+
+"Look, Anna, a balloon!" Tom says.
+
+"I see it, Tom. It is so big and bright!" Anna says.
+
+They watch the balloon fly over the city. They wonder who is in the balloon. They wish they could go in the balloon too.
+
+"Mom, can we go in the balloon?" Tom asks.
+
+"Maybe one day, Tom. But not today. The balloon is very expensive and far away." Mom says.
+
+Tom and Anna are sad. They want to go in the balloon. They watch the balloon until it is very small and disappears.
+
+"Maybe we can make our own balloon, Anna." Tom says.
+
+"How, Tom?" Anna asks.
+
+"We can use a paper bag and some string and some air. And we can draw on it with crayons." Tom says.
+
+"That sounds fun, Tom. Let's do it!" Anna says.
+
+They run to their mom and ask for a paper bag and some string and some crayons. Mom gives them what they need. They go to a bench and make their own balloon. They blow air into the bag and tie it with the string. They draw on it with crayons. They make a face and a flower and a star.
+
+"Look, mom, our balloon!" Tom and Anna say.
+
+"It is very nice, Tom and Anna. You are very creative." Mom says.
+
+They hold their balloon and run around the park. They pretend they are flying over the city. They laugh and smile. They are happy.
+
+They watch their balloon and think they are lucky. They have each other and their mom and their city. They do not need a big balloon. They have a small balloon and a big imagination.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, they found a big sock in the closet. It was blue and soft and had a hole in it.
+
+"Let's play with the sock!" Lily said. "We can make it a puppet or a hat or a scarf."
+
+"Okay!" Tom said. "But we have to promise to put it back when we are done. It is Mommy's sock and she will be sad if she can't find it."
+
+They nodded and made a pinky promise. Then they took the sock and went to the living room. They had fun making different things with the sock. They made it talk and sing and dance. They made it a crown and a cape and a belt.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was Mommy coming home. They were frightened. They forgot to put the sock back in the closet. They hid behind the couch and hoped Mommy would not see the sock.
+
+"Hello, my sweeties!" Mommy said. "Did you have a good day?"
+
+"Yes, Mommy!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+Mommy smiled and walked to the closet. She opened it and looked for her sock. She could not find it. She frowned and looked around. She saw the sock on the floor. It was dirty and wrinkled and had a tear in it.
+
+"Who did this to my sock?" Mommy asked. "This was my favorite sock. It was a gift from Grandma. It was very special to me."
+
+Lily and Tom felt bad. They knew they broke their promise. They came out from behind the couch and looked at Mommy with sorry eyes.
+
+"We did it, Mommy," Lily said. "We wanted to play with the sock. We forgot to put it back. We are sorry."
+
+Mommy sighed and picked up the sock. She looked at Lily and Tom and saw that they were sincere. She hugged them and said, "I forgive you, my darlings. But you have to remember to keep your promises. Promises are important. They show that you care and respect others. And you have to take care of other people's things. They may have a special meaning to them. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, Mommy," Lily and Tom said. "We understand. We will keep our promises and take care of other people's things. We love you, Mommy."
+
+"I love you too, my sweeties," Mommy said. "Now, let's go and wash the sock. Maybe we can fix it and make it look nice again."
+
+They nodded and followed Mommy to the laundry room. They learned their lesson and never played with Mommy's sock again. They found other things to play with and had fun together. They always kept their promises and respected other people's things. And they were happy.
+Tom was a boy who liked to sell snacks. He had a small table and a big box of cookies, chips and juice. He put a sign on his table that said "Snacks for sale, 1 coin each". He hoped that many people would come and buy his snacks.
+
+But no one came. Tom waited and waited, but no one wanted his snacks. He felt very lonely. He wished he had a friend to help him sell snacks, or to play with him. He looked around and saw other kids having fun. They rode bikes, played ball, or made sand castles. They did not see Tom or his snacks.
+
+Tom felt sad. He decided to pack up his snacks and go home. He was about to leave when he heard a voice. "Hi, I'm Lily. What are you doing?" Tom looked up and saw a girl with curly hair and a big smile. She was holding a coin in her hand.
+
+"I'm selling snacks, but no one wants them," Tom said.
+
+"I want them," Lily said. "Can I have a cookie, please?"
+
+Tom smiled. He gave Lily a cookie and took her coin. "Thank you," he said.
+
+"You're welcome," Lily said. "Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Tom nodded. He felt happy. He had sold a snack and made a friend. He and Lily shared the rest of his snacks and played together. They had a lot of fun. Tom was not lonely anymore.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a picture of a cute puppy on it.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "Can we open it?"
+
+"Maybe it's a surprise for us," Ben said. "Let's see what's inside."
+
+They opened the box and saw a fluffy white puppy. It had black spots and a red collar. It wagged its tail and licked their faces.
+
+"It's adorable!" Lily said. "Can we keep it?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "We have to ask Mom and Dad first."
+
+They took the puppy out of the box and played with it in the yard. They threw a ball and the puppy chased it. They gave it some water and a biscuit. They rubbed its belly and its ears.
+
+The puppy was very happy. It barked and jumped and nuzzled them.
+
+"I love this puppy," Lily said. "I want to name it Spot."
+
+"I love it too," Ben said. "But I want to name it Rex."
+
+They looked at each other and frowned. They both wanted to name the puppy.
+
+"That's not fair," Lily said. "I saw it first. It's my puppy."
+
+"No, it's not," Ben said. "We found it together. It's our puppy."
+
+They started to argue and tug on the puppy's collar. The puppy whimpered and tried to get away.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom said. She came out of the house and saw them fighting. "What are you doing with that puppy?"
+
+She looked at the box and saw the label. It said: "To Mr. and Mrs. Jones, from Aunt Lucy. Happy anniversary!"
+
+"Oh, no," Mom said. "This puppy is not for you. It's a gift for our neighbors. They just moved in next door."
+
+Lily and Ben gasped. They felt very sad and sorry. They had taken the puppy without asking. They had been selfish and mean.
+
+They hugged the puppy and said goodbye. They apologized to Mom and helped her put the puppy back in the box. They carried the box to the next house and rang the doorbell.
+
+Mr. and Mrs. Jones opened the door and smiled. They saw the puppy and thanked them.
+
+"What a lovely surprise!" Mrs. Jones said. "We've always wanted a puppy. What's its name?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They had a score to settle. They both wanted to name the puppy.
+
+But they also wanted to be friends. They decided to compromise.
+
+They said in unison: "Its name is Spot-Rex."
+Lily and Ben were playing dress-up in their room. They had many clothes and hats and shoes to try on. Lily liked to wear dresses and skirts and bows. Ben liked to wear jackets and ties and hats. They had fun mixing and matching different outfits.
+
+"Look at me, Lily!" Ben said. He put on a big coat and a funny hat. He held a hanger in his hand like a sword. "I am a brave knight! I will protect you from the dragon!"
+
+Lily giggled. She put on a pink dress and a shiny crown. She held a hanger in her hand like a wand. "I am a beautiful princess! I will use my magic to help you!"
+
+They pretended to fight the dragon, which was a big pillow on the bed. They swung their hangers and made noises. They were very enthusiastic and happy.
+
+But then they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She opened the door and saw the mess. She saw the clothes and hats and shoes on the floor. She saw the hangers and the pillow on the bed. She saw Lily and Ben in their costumes.
+
+"What are you doing, kids?" she asked.
+
+"We are playing dress-up, mom!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+"I can see that," mom said. "But you know you have to clean up your room when you are done. You can't leave your clothes and hangers everywhere. They belong in the closet or the drawer."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They knew mom was right. They loved playing dress-up, but they also had to be tidy and respectful. They said sorry to mom and started to put everything back where it belonged. They helped each other and made it a game. They were still enthusiastic and happy.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. They make marks on the paper with the crayons. They make red marks, blue marks, yellow marks and more.
+
+One day, they find a new crayon. It is light and shiny. It looks like a star. They want to try it. They take turns to make marks with the light crayon.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lila says. She makes a big circle with the light crayon. "It is like the sun!"
+
+"That is cool!" Tom says. He makes a small dot with the light crayon. "It is like a star!"
+
+They make more marks with the light crayon. They make lines, curves, shapes and letters. They have fun.
+
+But then, something strange happens. The marks they make with the light crayon start to fade. They become less shiny and less visible. They disappear from the paper.
+
+"Hey, where did our marks go?" Lila asks. She looks at the paper. She can only see the marks from the other crayons.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. He looks at the light crayon. It is not light and shiny anymore. It is dull and gray. "Maybe the light crayon is broken."
+
+They are sad. They liked the light crayon. They liked the marks they made with it. They wish they could see them again.
+
+"Maybe we can make new marks with a different crayon," Lila says. She picks up a green crayon. "Green is a nice color."
+
+"OK, let's try," Tom says. He picks up a purple crayon. "Purple is a nice color too."
+
+They make new marks with the green and purple crayons. They make flowers, trees, animals and faces. They smile.
+
+They still miss the light crayon. But they are happy. They have each other. They have many crayons. They can make many marks. They can make many stories.
+Sara and Ben love to play in the pool. They put on their swimsuits and hats. Sara has a pink swimsuit with flowers. Ben has a blue swimsuit with sharks. They think they are very fashion.
+
+They jump into the pool and splash each other. They laugh and have fun. They make big waves with their arms and legs. They pretend to be fish and dolphins.
+
+"Look at me, Sara!" Ben says. "I can splash very high!"
+
+"Wow, Ben, you are very good!" Sara says. "But can you splash higher than me?"
+
+They splash each other more and more. They do not see that they are making a mess. The water goes out of the pool and onto the grass. The towels and toys get wet and dirty.
+
+Mom comes out and sees the mess. She is not happy. She tells Sara and Ben to get out of the pool and tidy up.
+
+"Sara, Ben, what have you done?" Mom says. "You have made a big mess. The pool is almost empty. The grass is muddy. The towels and toys are wet and dirty. You need to tidy up right now."
+
+Sara and Ben feel sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They get out of the pool and help Mom. They put the water back into the pool. They dry the towels and toys. They clean the grass. They say sorry to Mom.
+
+Mom hugs them and says it is okay. She says they can play in the pool again, but they have to be careful. They have to splash less and tidy more. Sara and Ben agree. They say they love Mom and they love the pool. They promise to be good.
+Tim liked to run fast. He had a lot of speed. He could run faster than his friends. He was popular at school. Everyone wanted to play with him.
+
+One day, Tim saw a new boy in his class. His name was Ben. Ben had a big bike. It was red and shiny. Tim wanted to ride the bike. He asked Ben, "Can you lend me your bike?"
+
+Ben looked at Tim. He said, "No, I can't. This is my bike. I got it for my birthday. It is special to me. You can't ride it."
+
+Tim felt sad. He said, "Please, Ben. I just want to try it. I will be careful. I will give it back to you."
+
+Ben shook his head. He said, "No, Tim. You have your own legs. You can run fast. You don't need my bike."
+
+Tim felt angry. He said, "Fine, Ben. You are mean. You are not my friend. I don't want to play with you."
+
+He ran away from Ben. He found his other friends. They played tag. They had fun. Tim forgot about the bike.
+
+Ben watched Tim. He felt lonely. He wished he had a friend. He thought, "Maybe I was too harsh. Maybe I could lend him my bike for a little while. Maybe he would like me then."
+
+He rode his bike to Tim. He said, "Tim, I'm sorry. I was wrong. You can ride my bike. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Tim looked at Ben. He smiled. He said, "Really? Thank you, Ben. You are nice. You are my friend. Can I ride your bike?"

+Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, Tim. You can ride my bike. But be careful. It is fast."
+
+Tim got on the bike. He felt happy. He rode the bike. He had speed. He said, "Wow, Ben. This is a great bike. You are lucky. Can I show it to my friends?"
+
+Ben said, "Sure, Tim. You can show it to your friends. But don't forget to give it back to me."
+
+Tim said, "I won't, Ben. I promise. Thank you for lending me your bike."
+
+They rode the bike together. They shared it. They became friends. They were popular at school. Everyone wanted to play with them.
+Tom was a boy who liked to look at the sky. He saw many birds flying high and low. He wished he could soar like them. He had a toy plane, but it was not the same.
+
+One day, he saw a big, ugly bird in the park. It had a long, crooked beak and a bald, red head. It made a loud, scary noise. Tom did not like the ugly bird. He threw a stone at it and laughed.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" a voice said. Tom turned and saw a girl with long, brown hair. She was holding a bag of bread. "That's my bird. His name is Bob. He is very nice and smart. He can do tricks and talk. He is not ugly. He is special."
+
+Tom did not believe the girl. He thought she was silly. He said, "Your bird is ugly and dumb. He can't do anything. He can't even soar like the other birds. He is a bad bird."
+
+The girl was sad and angry. She said, "You are mean and rude. You don't know anything about Bob. He can soar better than any bird. He just needs some space and time. Watch this." She opened the bag and threw some bread in the air. Bob flew up and caught the bread. He soared high and low, fast and slow. He did loops and spins and flips. He was amazing.
+
+Tom was surprised and ashamed. He saw how happy and proud the girl and Bob were. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Your bird is not ugly and dumb. He is special and smart. He can soar very well. He is a good bird."
+
+The girl smiled and said, "Thank you. I forgive you. Do you want to be friends? Do you want to play with Bob?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, please. I want to be friends. I want to play with Bob. He is a cool bird."
+
+The girl and Tom became friends. They played with Bob and had fun. Tom learned to appreciate different kinds of birds. He also learned to be kind and respectful. He still wished he could soar like the birds, but he was happy with his toy plane and his new friends.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. She found a big black beetle with long legs and shiny wings. She was very happy. She put the beetle in a jar and ran to show her mom.
+
+"Look, mom, look what I found!" Lily said. "Can I keep it? Please, please, please?"
+
+Mom looked at the jar and frowned. She did not like bugs. She thought they were icky and dirty. She did not want them in the house.
+
+"No, Lily, you can't keep it," mom said. "It's not a pet. It belongs in the garden. You have to let it go."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She loved her beetle. She wanted to keep it. She did not want to let it go.
+
+"But mom, I promise I will take good care of it," Lily said. "I will give it water and leaves and a name. I will be nice to it. Please, mom, please."
+
+Mom shook her head. She did not change her mind. She said Lily had to let the beetle go or she would be in trouble.
+
+Lily did not listen. She hid the jar under her bed and hoped mom would not find it. She thought she was clever. She thought she could keep her beetle.
+
+But she was wrong. The next day, when she came home from school, she saw the jar on the table. The lid was off. The beetle was gone. Mom was waiting for her with a stern look.
+
+"Lily, what did you do?" mom asked. "You broke your promise. You lied to me. You did a bad thing."
+
+Lily felt sorry and scared. She did not mean to do a bad thing. She just wanted to keep her beetle. She looked for it in the garden, but she could not find it. She lost her beetle and she made mom mad.
+
+She started to cry. She said she was sorry. She said she would not do it again.
+
+Mom hugged her and said she forgave her. She said she loved her. She said she understood. She said she would help her find another bug to play with in the garden. But she said she had to let it go when she was done.
+
+Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She said she would keep her promise. She said she would let the bug go. She said she loved mom too. She said she was happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their dog Spot in the park. They threw a ball and Spot ran to catch it. Spot was a loyal dog and always brought the ball back to them.
+
+But then a big boy came and took the ball from Spot. He laughed and said, "This is my ball now. You can't have it back."
+
+Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They said to the big boy, "Stop! That is our ball. Give it back to us."
+
+The big boy did not listen. He ran away with the ball. Spot ran after him. He barked and jumped on the big boy. He bit his tie and pulled it hard. The big boy tripped and fell. The ball rolled out of his hand.
+
+Spot grabbed the ball and ran back to Ben and Lily. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. Ben and Lily hugged him and said, "Good boy, Spot! You are a loyal dog. We love you."
+
+The big boy got up and ran away. He was scared of Spot. He did not want his tie anymore. He left it on the ground.
+
+Ben and Lily picked up the tie and tied it around Spot's neck. They said, "This is your prize, Spot. You are a hero."
+
+Spot barked and smiled. He was happy. He had his ball, his tie, and his friends. He did not need anything else.
+Lily liked to bring her toy flute everywhere. She wanted to be a musician like her big sister. She played her flute for her dolls, her dog, and her mom. She made happy sounds and sad sounds and funny sounds.
+
+One day, she saw a big truck outside her house. It had a picture of a lion on it. Lily loved lions. She wanted to see the lion. She put on her shoes and coat and ran outside. She brought her flute with her.
+
+She saw a man with a hat and a whip. He was the lion tamer. He was brave. He saw Lily and smiled. "Hello, little girl. Do you like lions?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, I do. They are big and strong and pretty. Can I see your lion?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can. He is in the truck. But you have to be very quiet. He doesn't like loud noises. They make him angry," the man said.
+
+Lily nodded. She followed the man to the truck. She saw a cage with a big lion inside. He was sleeping. He looked soft and cuddly. Lily wanted to pet him.
+
+She reached out her hand with the flute. She touched the lion's fur. It was warm and rough. The lion opened his eyes. He saw the flute. He thought it was a snack. He roared and bit the flute. He bit Lily's hand too.
+
+Lily screamed. The man screamed. The lion screamed. The flute made a loud noise. It was a bad noise. Lily dropped the flute. She tried to pull her hand away. But the lion was stronger. He pulled her into the cage. He ate her up.
+
+The end.
+One day, a little boy named Tom found a sharp stick in the yard. He liked to poke things with it and make noises. He poked the grass, the dirt, the flowers and the bugs. He thought it was fun and harmless.
+
+But then he saw a big bird in the sky. It had black and white feathers and a long beak. Tom wanted to poke it too. He threw the stick at the bird and shouted, "Poke, poke, poke!"
+
+The bird was not happy. It flew down and pecked Tom on the head. It hurt a lot and made Tom cry. The bird flew away with the stick in its beak. Tom ran to his mom and hugged her. He said, "Sorry, mom. I was bad. I poked the bird with the sharp stick."
+
+Mom kissed Tom and said, "It's okay, Tom. You didn't know. But you have to be careful with sharp things. They can hurt you and others. The bird was just defending itself. The world is full of living things that feel pain and love. You have to be kind and gentle to them. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I won't poke things with sharp sticks anymore. I will be nice to the world and the bird. I hope the bird is okay."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I'm sure the bird is okay. And I'm proud of you for learning your lesson. Now, how about we go inside and have some cookies and milk?"
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Yes, please. I love you, mom."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Tom." And they went inside together.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to read. They had many books in their white cabin in the woods. One day, they found a new book on the shelf. It had a picture of a big bear on the cover.
+
+"Let's read this book," Lily said. "It looks fun."
+
+"OK," Ben said. "But we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad are sleeping."
+
+They opened the book and began to read. The book was about a boy and a girl who went to the forest and met a friendly bear. The bear showed them his cave and his honey. Lily and Ben liked the story. They wished they could meet a bear too.
+
+But as they read, they did not hear a loud noise outside. It was a real bear, and he was hungry. He smelled the honey in the cabin and wanted some. He scratched the door with his claws and roared.
+
+Lily and Ben heard the noise and stopped reading. They were scared. They ran to their parents' room and woke them up.
+
+"Mom, Dad, there's a bear outside!" Lily cried.
+
+"A bear?" Dad said. He got up and looked out the window. He saw the bear trying to break the door. He grabbed his rifle and ran outside.
+
+"Stay here," he told Mom, Lily, and Ben. "I'll scare the bear away."
+
+They heard a loud bang and then another roar. They waited for Dad to come back. They hoped he was OK. They hugged each other and prayed.
+
+After a few minutes, they heard Dad's voice. He was safe. He had shot the bear in the leg and made him run away. He came back to the cabin and hugged his family.
+
+"Are you OK, Dad?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, I'm OK," Dad said. "But we have to be careful. There are wild animals in the woods. We can't leave honey outside. And we can't read books about bears. They might attract them."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were sorry they had read the book. They decided to read a different book next time. A book about something safe and nice. Like flowers. Or rainbows. Or puppies.
+Tom was a boy who liked to help his dad. His dad was a mailman who delivered letters and packages to people's houses. Sometimes, Tom got to ride with his dad in the big red truck and help him deliver the mail.

+One day, Tom and his dad had a special delivery. It was a big box with a bow on it. Tom wondered what was inside. His dad said it was a surprise for someone who was very sick. They drove to the hospital and parked the truck. Tom carried the box with his dad to the front desk.
+
+"Hello, we have a delivery for Mrs. Lee," his dad said to the lady. "She is in room 212."
+
+"Thank you, you can go up the elevator," the lady said. She smiled at Tom and gave him a sticker that said "helper".
+
+Tom and his dad went up the elevator and found room 212. They knocked on the door and heard a weak voice say "come in". They opened the door and saw a woman lying on the bed. She looked very pale and tired. She had a tube in her nose and a machine that beeped next to her.
+
+"Hello, Mrs. Lee, we have a delivery for you," his dad said. He put the box on the bed and opened it. Inside was a beautiful hat. It was pink and fluffy and had a flower on it.
+
+"Oh, how lovely!" Mrs. Lee said. She lifted the hat and put it on her head. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. "It's so comfortable and warm. Thank you so much!"
+
+"You're welcome, Mrs. Lee," his dad said. "This hat was made by your granddaughter, Lily. She wanted to cheer you up and make you feel better. She loves you very much."

+Fox and Bee started to fight over the honeycomb. Fox tried to bite Bee, but Bee stung Fox. Fox tried to slap Bee, but Bee dodged Fox. They made a lot of noise and woke up Bear.
+
+Bear saw Fox and Bee fighting and got angry. Bear roared and ran to them.
+
+"What are you doing, Fox? Why are you trying to take our honey? That is not nice, Fox!" Bear said.
+
+Fox was scared of Bear and let go of the honeycomb. Fox tried to run away, but Bear caught Fox.
+
+"I am sorry, Bear! I was envious of your honey! It looked so good and sweet! Please let me go, Bear!" Fox said.
+
+Bear looked at Fox and shook his head.
+
+"Fox, you should not be envious of others. You should be happy with what you have. And you should not try to take things that are not yours. That is wrong, Fox. You should be kind and honest. And you should make friends, not enemies. That is how you can have honey and happiness, Fox." Bear said.
+
+Bear let go of Fox and gave him a chance to change. Fox felt ashamed and sorry. Fox nodded and thanked Bear.
+
+"Thank you, Bear. You are right. I was wrong. I am sorry, Bee. Can you forgive me, Bee? Can we be friends, Bee and Bear?" Fox said.

+"Oh no, the donkey!" Sara cries, covering her eyes.
+
+"Help, help!" The donkey screams.
+
+But then the ogre comes to the rescue. He jumps on the dragon's back and pulls his tail. The dragon roars and twists and turns, but he can't shake off the ogre. The ogre grabs the donkey and throws him to safety. Then he kisses the dragon on the nose.

+One day, she saw a tiny green sprout. She was happy. She said, "Look, mom, my sunflower is growing!" Her mom said, "That's wonderful, Lily. You are doing a great job. But you have to be patient. It will take some time for it to finish growing."
+
+Lily nodded. She kept watering her sunflower and putting it in the sun. She saw it grow taller and taller. She saw it grow leaves and buds. She was excited. She said, "Look, mom, my sunflower is almost finished!" Her mom said, "That's amazing, Lily. You are very diligent. But you have to be careful. It will need some support. It is very heavy."

+"Ready, set, go!" they shouted and ran as fast as they could. Tom was ahead at first, but Sue quickly caught up with him. She slipped through the bushes and reached the pot before him. She was very happy and proud.
+
+"I win, I win!" she said. "Now I can make a wish with the magic pot. I wish for a big cake with lots of icing and sprinkles!"
+
+But as soon as she said that, the pot started to shake and bubble. The water and flowers spilled out and made a big mess. Sue was shocked and scared. She did not know what was happening.
+
+Tom came running and saw the pot. He was angry and sad. He had wanted to make a wish too. He thought Sue had cheated and ruined the pot.
+
+"You are a bad friend!" he said. "You took the shortcut and broke the pot. Now we can't play with it anymore. I don't want to play with you!"
+
+Sue felt sorry and ashamed. She realized she had been greedy and selfish. She had not thought about Tom's feelings. She had not been a good friend.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," she said. "I was wrong. I should have shared the pot with you. I should have been fair and kind. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Tom looked at her and saw that she was sincere. He remembered that they had been friends for a long time. He decided to forgive her and give her another chance.
+
+"It's okay, Sue," he said. "I'm sorry too. I should not have yelled at you. You are still my friend. Can we play together again?"
+
+Sue nodded and smiled. They hugged and made up. They decided to clean up the pot and the garden. They realized that the pot was not magic after all. It was just a pot. But their friendship was more precious than any wish.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be honest and generous with your friends. Don't let greed and pride ruin your friendship. Friendship is more valuable than anything.
+Lila and Sam were very happy. They were going to the stadium with Mom and Dad. They liked to watch the big game and cheer for their team. They wore red and blue hats and shirts.
+
+Before they left, Mom made them a yummy breakfast. She stirred eggs and cheese in a pan. She also toasted bread and poured juice. Lila and Sam helped her set the table and carry the plates.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, for the breakfast," Lila said.
+
+"You're welcome, sweetie," Mom said. "Are you ready to go to the stadium?"
+
+"Yes, Mom, I'm ready," Lila said.
+
+"What about you, Sam?" Mom asked.
+
+Sam nodded and smiled. He was too excited to talk. He loved the stadium. It was big and loud and fun.
+
+They finished their breakfast and cleaned up. Then they got in the car and drove to the stadium. They found their seats and waited for the game to start. They saw many people wearing red and blue. They also saw some people wearing green and yellow. They were the other team.
+
+The game began and Lila and Sam clapped and shouted. They watched the players run and kick and score. They ate popcorn and ice cream. They had a lot of fun.
+
+At the end of the game, their team won. Lila and Sam jumped and hugged. They were very happy. They thanked Mom and Dad for taking them to the stadium.
+
+"We're glad you enjoyed it," Mom said.
+
+"We're very grateful," Sam said.
+
+They left the stadium and went back to the car. They sang songs and talked about the game. They had a wonderful day.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with blocks. They made towers with the blocks. They tried to make the towers very high. They had fun.
+
+But Sam did not like to play with blocks. He liked to throw things. He saw Tom and Lily's towers. He wanted to throw them down. He thought it was funny.
+
+He took a ball and threw it at Tom's tower. The tower fell down. Tom was sad. He said, "Sam, why did you do that? That was my tower!"
+
+Sam did not care. He laughed. He took another ball and threw it at Lily's tower. The tower fell down. Lily was angry. She said, "Sam, stop it! That was my tower!"
+
+Sam did not stop. He threw more balls at the blocks. He made a big mess. Tom and Lily cried. They did not want to play with Sam. They said, "Sam, you are mean! You are not our friend!"
+
+But Sam did not listen. He thought he was clever. He did not know that throwing things was bad. He did not know that he hurt Tom and Lily's feelings. He did not know that he was difficult. He did not know that he was alone.
+Ben likes to help his mom in the kitchen. He likes to wash the dishes and put them in the sink. He likes to stir the soup and taste the cheese. He likes to wrap the bread in a cloth and put it in a basket.
+
+One day, Ben sees a big box on the table. It has a bow and a tag. He wants to know what is inside. He climbs on a chair and tries to open the box. But the box is too heavy and it falls on the floor. Ben hears a loud crash and a splash.
+
+Mom runs into the kitchen. She is alert and scared. She sees the box and the water on the floor. She sees the sink and the faucet. She sees Ben and the chair. She understands what happened. She hugs Ben and says, "Are you okay, my sweetie?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to see the box. What is in the box?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "It's a surprise for you, Ben. It's a new toy. But you have to wait until your birthday. Can you wait, Ben?"
+
+Ben thinks and says, "Yes, Mom. I can wait. But can I help you wrap the box again?"
+
+Mom laughs and says, "Of course, Ben. You can help me wrap the box again. But first, let's clean up the mess. And then, let's have some soup and bread. How does that sound, Ben?"
+
+Ben smiles and says, "That sounds good, Mom. I love you, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Ben. You are my best helper."
+Tim and Sue were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that was shiny and yellow. They ran to the slide and wanted to go down.
+
+"Me first!" Tim said. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide.
+
+"No, me first!" Sue said. She pulled Tim's leg and tried to make him move.
+
+"Stop it!" Tim said. He kicked Sue's hand and pushed her away.
+
+Sue fell on the ground and started to cry. A lady who worked in the park heard her and came over.
+
+"What's wrong, little girl?" the lady asked.
+
+"Tim is mean!" Sue said. "He won't let me go on the slide!"
+
+The lady looked at the slide and saw that it was not a normal slide. It was made of gold and had a sign that said "Do not touch".
+
+"Oh, dear," the lady said. "This slide is not for playing. It is a special slide that belongs to the king. He requested it for his birthday."
+
+"Really?" Tim said. He got off the slide and looked at the sign. He felt sorry for Sue and for being harsh.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sue," Tim said. "I didn't know it was the king's slide. Do you want to go on another slide?"
+
+Sue nodded and wiped her tears. She hugged Tim and said, "It's okay, Tim. I'm sorry, too. Let's go on another slide."
+
+The lady smiled and said, "That's very nice of you, Tim and Sue. You can go on any slide you want, except for the gold one. Have fun!"
+
+Tim and Sue thanked the lady and ran to another slide. They took turns and played nicely. They forgot about the gold slide and had a lot of fun.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big bowl of potatoes and some spoons and forks.
+
+"Let's make potato soup!" Anna said. "We can mash the potatoes and add some water and salt."
+
+Ben nodded. He liked potato soup. He picked up a potato and tried to mash it with his fork. But the potato was too hard and the fork was too fragile. The fork broke in half and Ben cried.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben said. "The fork hurt my hand! And it's broken!"
+
+Anna ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry for Ben. She looked at the broken fork and the hard potato. She had an idea.
+
+"I know!" Anna said. "Let's suggest to Mommy that we bake the potatoes instead. Baking will make them soft and yummy. And we can use a knife to cut them. A knife is not fragile like a fork."
+
+Ben stopped crying. He liked Anna's idea. He smiled and nodded.
+
+"Okay!" Ben said. "Let's suggest to Mommy that we bake the potatoes. And we can add some cheese and butter too. That will make them even yummier!"
+
+Anna and Ben took the bowl of potatoes and the knife and went to find Mommy. They hoped Mommy would like their suggestion and help them bake the potatoes. They were hungry and excited. They loved playing in the kitchen.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to share. Sometimes they fight over the same toy and make a lot of noise. Their mom is not happy when they fight. She tells them to organize their toys and play nicely.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben find a big box in the garage. They decide to make it their playhouse. They cut out windows and a door. They draw pictures on the walls. They bring some of their toys inside. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But soon they start to argue again. Anna wants to play with the doll, but Ben wants to play with the car. They pull and tug at the toy. They yell and cry. Their mom hears them and comes to the garage. She sees the mess they made. She is not happy.
+
+"Anna and Ben, what are you doing?" she asks. "Why are you fighting over one toy? You have so many toys to choose from. You need to learn to share and take turns. You need to organize your toys and your playhouse. And you need to make peace with each other. Do you know what peace means?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at their mom. They do not know what peace means. They shake their heads.
+
+"Peace means being kind and gentle. Peace means not hurting or upsetting anyone. Peace means being happy and calm. Peace means saying sorry and giving hugs. Do you want to have peace in your playhouse?" mom asks.
+
+Anna and Ben nod their heads. They want to have peace. They do not want to fight. They do not want to make their mom unhappy. They want to have fun.
+
+"Then you need to organize your toys and your playhouse. You need to put each toy in its place. You need to clean up the mess. And you need to say sorry and give hugs to each other. Can you do that?" mom asks.
+
+Anna and Ben say yes. They start to organize their toys and their playhouse. They put the doll in the dollhouse, the car in the garage, the blocks in the basket, and the books on the shelf. They pick up the paper and the scissors. They make the playhouse neat and tidy. They look at each other. They feel sorry for fighting. They say sorry and give hugs to each other.
+
+"Good job, Anna and Ben. You organized your toys and your playhouse. You made peace with each other. I am proud of you. Now you can enjoy your playhouse in peace. Do you want to have a snack inside?" mom asks.
+
+Anna and Ben say yes. They are hungry and thirsty. They thank their mom for the snack. They go inside their playhouse. They sit on the pillows. They eat and drink. They talk and laugh. They feel happy and calm. They have peace in their playhouse. They have a deep love for each other. They are twins. They are friends.
+Bella and Ben were twins who liked to bounce. They bounced on their beds, on the sofa, on the trampoline. They bounced everywhere they could, even when their mom said no. They thought bouncing was the best thing ever.
+
+One day, their mom made broccoli for dinner. Bella and Ben hated broccoli. They said it was yucky and green and smelled bad. They did not want to eat it. They wanted to bounce some more.
+
+"Please, mom, can we bounce instead of eating broccoli?" they asked.
+
+"No, you have to eat your broccoli. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. And you have bounced enough today. You need to rest," their mom said.
+
+"But mom, we don't like broccoli. We like bouncing. Bouncing is fun. Broccoli is not," they said.
+
+"I don't care. You have to eat your broccoli. No more bouncing until you finish your plate. And no more arguing," their mom said.
+
+Bella and Ben were very unhappy. They did not want to eat their broccoli. They wanted to bounce. They looked at each other and had an idea. They pretended to eat their broccoli, but they hid it under their napkins. Then they asked to go to the bathroom. Their mom said yes, but told them to hurry back.
+
+Bella and Ben ran to the bathroom, but they did not go inside. They sneaked to their bedroom, where their beds were waiting for them. They jumped on their beds and bounced as high as they could. They laughed and giggled and had a lot of fun.
+
+But they did not know that their mom had seen them. She had followed them and saw them bouncing on their beds. She was very angry. She opened the door and shouted at them.
+
+"Bella and Ben, what are you doing? You lied to me. You did not eat your broccoli. You hid it under your napkins. And you bounced on your beds when I told you not to. You are very naughty. You are in big trouble. No more bouncing for you. Ever."
+
+Bella and Ben stopped bouncing. They looked at their mom and felt very scared. They knew they had done something very bad. They wished they had eaten their broccoli. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they could bounce again. But it was too late. Their mom took away their beds and their trampoline and their sofa. She gave them only hard chairs to sit on. She said they had to eat broccoli every day. She said they had to learn their lesson.
+
+Bella and Ben were very sad. They had no more fun. They had no more bouncing. They had only broccoli. They hated broccoli. They hated their life. They wished they could bounce again. But they could not. The end.
+Sara woke up early. She was nervous. Today was her first day at school. She did not know the other kids or the teacher. She wanted to stay in her bedroom.
+
+She heard her mom call her name. "Sara, time to rise and shine! You have a big day ahead of you!"
+
+Sara hid under her blanket. She did not want to go. She said in a small voice, "Mom, I'm scared. Can I stay home?"
+
+Her mom came into her bedroom. She smiled and hugged Sara. She said, "I know you're scared, honey. But school is fun. You will learn new things, play with new friends, and have a nice teacher. I will be with you until you go inside. And I will pick you up when school is over. You are brave and smart, Sara. You can do this."
+
+Sara felt a little better. She trusted her mom. She got out of her blanket and got ready. She put on her clothes, brushed her teeth, and ate her breakfast. She packed her backpack with her books, crayons, and snacks. She held her mom's hand as they walked to the bus stop.
+
+She saw the big yellow bus. She saw other kids waiting. Some were happy, some were nervous, like her. She heard the bus driver say, "Hello, children! Welcome to school! Hop on board!"
+
+Sara took a deep breath. She kissed her mom goodbye. She climbed on the bus. She found a seat next to a girl with curly hair and a pink dress. The girl smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?"
+
+Sara smiled back and said, "I'm Sara. Nice to meet you."
+
+The bus started to move. Sara looked out the window and waved to her mom. She felt a little less nervous. She felt a little excited. She was going to school.
+Sam and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures, and share snacks. They also liked to pretend they were grown-ups and do things like drive cars, work in offices, and marry each other.
+
+One day, they found a big cardboard box in the park. It looked like a car. They decided to make it more impressive by painting it with different colors and adding stickers and wheels. They were very proud of their car. They put on their hats and sunglasses and got ready to drive.
+
+They pushed the car along the road, making loud noises and waving to the people they saw. They had a lot of fun. They stopped at a flower shop and bought a bouquet of roses. They said they were going to marry each other at the church.
+
+They drove to the church, which was a big stone building with a tall tower. They parked their car outside and walked in. They saw a man in a black suit and a woman in a white dress. They were holding hands and smiling. They looked very happy.
+
+Sam and Mia realized they were at a real wedding. They felt shy and curious. They watched as the man and the woman said nice words to each other and exchanged rings. They kissed and everyone clapped. Sam and Mia clapped too.
+
+They decided they wanted to marry each other too. They walked up to the man and the woman and gave them the roses. They said congratulations and asked if they could join them. The man and the woman laughed and said yes. They invited Sam and Mia to stand with them and share their cake. They said they were very impressed by their car and their friendship.
+
+Sam and Mia felt very happy. They hugged each other and said they loved each other. They ate cake and danced and played with the other guests. They had the best day ever. They decided they would always be best friends and marry each other when they grew up.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toy soldiers. They had a big box of soldiers and a wooden bridge that they put on the floor. They pretended that the bridge was a very important place that both sides wanted to have.
+
+One day, Tom said to Sam, "I am the red soldiers and you are the blue soldiers. We have to fight for the bridge. The one who has the bridge wins the game."
+
+Sam said, "OK, but you have to be fair. You have more soldiers than me. You have to give me some of yours."
+
+Tom said, "No, I don't. I am the boss. You have to do what I say. If you don't, I will make you surrender."
+
+Sam said, "That's not nice. You are not a good brother. You are a mean bully. I will not surrender. I will fight you."
+
+Tom and Sam started to move their soldiers on the floor. They made noises like guns and bombs. They tried to push each other's soldiers away from the bridge. They got angry and shouted at each other.
+
+Tom had more soldiers and he was smart. He made a plan to trick Sam. He pretended to move some of his soldiers away from the bridge. He said, "Look, Sam, I am giving you a chance. You can have the bridge if you want. I don't care about it anymore."
+
+Sam thought that Tom was telling the truth. He thought that Tom was sorry for being mean. He said, "Really? You are giving me the bridge? Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother after all."
+
+Sam moved his soldiers to the bridge. He was happy. He said, "I have the bridge. I win the game."
+
+But Tom was not telling the truth. He was lying. He had hidden some of his soldiers behind the bridge. He said, "Ha ha, Sam, you are so silly. You fell for my trap. Now I have you surrounded. You have to surrender or I will take all your soldiers."
+
+Sam was sad and scared. He said, "No, Tom, you are not fair. You are not a good brother. You are a bad liar. You cheated. You tricked me. I don't want to play with you anymore."
+
+Tom said, "Too bad, Sam. You have to play with me. You have to do what I say. You have to surrender. Give me all your soldiers. Now."
+
+Sam had no choice. He had to surrender. He gave Tom all his soldiers. He cried. He ran to his mom. He told her what Tom did. He said, "Mom, Tom is mean. He took all my soldiers. He made me surrender. He is not a good brother. He is a bad liar. He cheated. He tricked me. I don't want to play with him anymore."
+
+Mom was angry. She said, "Tom, how could you do that to your brother? You are not nice. You are not fair. You are not a good brother. You are a bad liar. You cheated. You tricked him. You have to give him back his soldiers. Now."
+
+Tom said, "No, Mom, I don't. I am the boss. You have to do what I say. If you don't, I will make you surrender."
+
+Mom said, "No, Tom, you are not the boss. You have to do what I say. If you don't, I will make you sorry."
+
+Mom took away Tom's soldiers. She took away his bridge. She took away his toys. She sent him to his room. She said, "You are in big trouble, Tom. You have to stay in your room until you say sorry to your brother. You have to learn to be nice. You have to learn to be fair. You have to learn to be a good brother. You have to learn to tell the truth. You have to learn to play well with others. You have to learn to surrender."
+
+Tom was sad and angry. He said, "No, Mom, I don't. I don't have to say sorry. I don't have to be nice. I don't have to be fair. I don't have to be a good brother. I don't have to tell the truth. I don't have to play well with others. I don't have to surrender."
+
+But Tom was wrong. He had to surrender. He had no choice. He had no soldiers. He had no bridge. He had no toys. He had no fun. He had no friends. He had no brother. He had no mom. He had nothing. He was alone. He was sad. He was sorry. He was a loser. He was a fool. He was a bad liar. He was a bad ending.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see white snow on the ground. They put on their warm hats, coats, and boots. They run outside to play.
+
+"Look, Ben, snow!" Sara says. "We can make a snowman!"
+
+"OK, Sara, let's do it!" Ben says. They roll big balls of snow and stack them up. They find a carrot, a hat, and a scarf for the snowman. They give him eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Sara says. "You are very cool and nice!"
+
+"Hello, Sara and Ben!" Mr. Snowman says. "You are very kind and fun!"
+
+Sara and Ben are surprised. They did not know that the snowman can talk.
+
+"Can you play with us, Mr. Snowman?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, I can play with you, Ben!" Mr. Snowman says. "But we have to be quick. The sun is coming out and I will melt soon."
+
+Sara and Ben play with Mr. Snowman. They make snow angels, throw snowballs, and slide on the ice. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But soon, the snow starts to melt. Mr. Snowman becomes smaller and smaller.
+
+"Goodbye, Sara and Ben!" Mr. Snowman says. "Thank you for playing with me! Maybe I will see you again next winter!"
+
+"Goodbye, Mr. Snowman!" Sara and Ben say. "We will miss you! You are our friend!"
+
+They hug Mr. Snowman and go back inside. They are happy and sad. They hope to see Mr. Snowman again. They drink hot chocolate and tell their mom about their adventure.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big pot, some spoons, and some things from the fridge.
+
+"Let's make soup!" Lily said. "I have carrots and cheese and milk."
+
+"OK!" Tom said. "I have pepper and salt and bread."
+
+They put everything in the pot and stirred it with the spoons. They smelled the soup and smiled.
+
+"It smells good!" Tom said. "Can we taste it?"
+
+"Yes!" Lily said. "But be careful, it might be hot."
+
+They each took a spoonful of soup and put it in their mouths. Lily liked it. It was sweet and creamy. But Tom made a funny face. He spit out the soup and coughed.
+
+"Yuck!" Tom said. "It's spicy and rough!"
+
+Lily looked at the pot. She saw a lot of black dots in the soup. She realized that Tom had put too much pepper in it. Pepper was spicy and rough. It made Tom's mouth hurt.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom!" Lily said. "I didn't know you put pepper in it. Do you want some water?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom said. "And some bread. Bread is soft and nice."
+
+Lily got some water and bread for Tom. She gave him a hug and said sorry again. Tom drank the water and ate the bread. He felt better.
+
+"It's OK, Lily," Tom said. "We can make soup again. But next time, let's use less pepper. OK?"
+
+"OK!" Lily said. "And more cheese. Cheese is yummy!"
+
+They laughed and hugged. They were still friends. They liked to play in the kitchen. But they learned to be careful with pepper.
+Tim and Mia were playing on the sand with their buckets and shovels. They liked to make castles and dig holes. Sometimes they ran to the water and splashed each other. The sea was blue and shiny and made a loud sound.
+
+But then a big wave came and washed away their castles. Tim and Mia were upset. They cried and stamped their feet. They did not want to play anymore.
+
+"Look, look!" said a voice. It was Sam, their big brother. He was holding a big stick. "I found something cool. Do you want to see?"
+
+Tim and Mia wiped their eyes and followed Sam. He took them to a big rock. On the rock there was a starfish. It had five arms and was orange and bumpy.
+
+"Wow!" said Tim and Mia. They touched the starfish gently. It felt hard and rough.
+
+"Can we take it home?" asked Mia.
+
+"No, no," said Sam. "The starfish lives in the sea. We have to put it back. But we can strike it with the stick and make a wish."
+
+Tim and Mia nodded. They each took a turn to strike the starfish with the stick and make a wish. They wished for more castles, more waves, and more fun.
+
+Then they put the starfish back in the water and watched it swim away. They smiled and hugged Sam. They were not upset anymore. They ran back to the sand and played some more.
+Lily was very excite to get post. She loved to see her name on the big white paper. She ran to the door when she heard the postman knock. She said, "Thank you, postman!" and took the post from his hand.
+
+She opened the post and saw a card with a picture of a cake and candles. It was from her grandma, who lived far away. She read the words inside. "Happy birthday, Lily! I miss you and love you very much. I hope you have a fun day. Grandma." Lily smiled and hugged the card. She wanted to call grandma and say thank you.
+
+But she had to be quiet. Her mom and dad were still sleeping. They worked very hard and needed rest. Lily knew that. She did not want to wake them up. She put the card on the table and went to her room. She played with her toys and waited for them to get up.
+
+She did not know that mom and dad had a surprise for her. They had baked a cake and bought balloons and presents. They wanted to make her birthday special. They had heard the postman knock and saw the card from grandma. They were happy that Lily was so polite and thoughtful. They were proud of her.
+
+When they got up, they went to Lily's room and said, "Happy birthday, Lily! We have a surprise for you!" They took her to the living room and showed her the cake and the balloons and the presents. Lily was very happy and surprised. She said, "Wow! Thank you, mom and dad! You are the best!" She hugged them and kissed them. They sang happy birthday and ate cake and opened presents. Lily had a wonderful day. She called grandma and said thank you for the card. Grandma was happy too.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be polite and thoughtful, and you will be rewarded. The foreshadowing or setup and payoff is: The card from grandma sets up the surprise from mom and dad, and the payoff is Lily's happiness and gratitude.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with red apples. Sara wanted to pick an apple, but Ben said no.
+
+"Mom said we should not take things that are not ours," Ben said. "The apples belong to someone else."
+
+"But they look so yummy," Sara said. "And I am hungry. Just one apple will not hurt."
+
+She ran to the tree and tried to reach an apple. But the apples were too high. She climbed on a branch and stretched her arm. She touched an apple, but it was too hard to pull.
+
+"Be careful, Sara," Ben said. "You will fall and get hurt."
+
+Sara did not listen. She pulled harder and harder. Then, the branch broke with a loud snap. Sara fell to the ground with a thud. She cried out in pain.
+
+"Help, help!" she shouted. "I am in trouble!"
+
+Ben ran to her and hugged her. He saw that her knee was bleeding. He was scared and sorry for his sister.
+
+"Poor Sara," he said. "You should have listened to me. Now you are hurt and we have to go home."
+
+He helped her stand up and walk to their mom. Their mom was angry and worried. She scolded Sara for being greedy and naughty. She cleaned her wound and put a bandage on it.
+
+"Sara, you learned a hard lesson today," she said. "You should not take things that are not yours. And you should listen to your brother. He was trying to protect you."
+
+Sara nodded and said sorry. She hugged her mom and her brother. She felt ashamed and sorry. She decided to be more careful and respectful next time. She also decided to share her snacks with Ben. She realized that he was a good brother and a good friend.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hole in the ground. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe there is a treasure in the hole!"
+
+Lily was not sure. She was a little scared of the hole. She thought there might be a monster or a snake or a spider in the hole. She said, "No, Ben, I don't want to go. The hole is dark and dirty and scary."
+
+Ben laughed. He said, "Don't be silly, Lily. There is nothing to be scared of. I will go first and show you. Come on, follow me!"
+
+Ben ran to the hole and jumped in. He landed on something soft and furry. He felt something bite his leg. He screamed. It was a big rat. The rat was angry and bitter. It did not like Ben in its home.
+
+Lily heard Ben scream. She ran to the hole and looked in. She saw Ben and the rat. She was very scared. She said, "Ben, are you okay? There is a rat in the hole! It is biting you!"
+
+Ben said, "Help me, Lily! The rat hurts me! It is bitter and mean! Get me out of the hole!"
+
+Lily grabbed Ben's hand and pulled him out of the hole. They ran away from the hole and the rat. They did not want to play in the park anymore. They wanted to go home and hug their mom and dad. They learned a lesson. They would never go into a hole again. Holes were scary and bitter.
+Sara was a lonely girl. She had no friends at school. The other kids did not like her. They said she was too quiet and weird. They did not play with her or talk to her. Sara felt sad every day.
+
+One day, Sara saw a new girl in her class. Her name was Mia. She had long brown hair and a big smile. Sara liked her. She wanted to be her friend. She walked up to her and said, "Hi, I am Sara. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Mia looked at Sara and nodded. She said, "Sure, I am Mia. I am new here. I don't know anyone. What do you like to play?"
+
+Sara felt happy. She said, "I like to play with dolls and books and puzzles. I have many at home. Do you want to come to my house after school?"
+
+Mia said, "Yes, I would love that. I like those things too. You seem nice. I think we can be friends."
+
+Sara and Mia hugged. They walked to Sara's house together. They played with Sara's toys and had fun. They laughed and talked. Sara felt happy. She did not feel lonely anymore. She had a friend.
+
+The next day, Sara and Mia went to school together. They sat next to each other and shared their snacks. They played at recess and helped each other with their work. They were happy.
+
+But the other kids did not like that. They were jealous and mean. They said bad things about Sara and Mia. They said they were boring and stupid and ugly. They made fun of them and pushed them and took their things. Sara and Mia felt sad. They did not understand why the other kids were so mean. They did not do anything wrong. They just wanted to be friends.
+
+One day, the other kids did something very bad. They took Sara's favorite doll and hid it. They said they would not give it back unless Sara and Mia stopped being friends. They said they had to pick. They said if they did not pick, they would make them suffer. They said they would hurt them and their families. They said they would make them cry.
+
+Sara and Mia were scared. They did not know what to do. They loved their doll and their families. They did not want to suffer. But they also loved each other. They did not want to stop being friends. They did not want to be lonely.
+
+They looked at each other and held hands. They said, "No, we will not pick. We will not stop being friends. We will not let you make us suffer. We will not let you be mean. We will tell the teacher. We will tell our parents. We will stick together. We are friends."
+
+The other kids were angry. They tried to grab them and hurt them. But Sara and Mia ran away. They ran to the teacher and told her everything. The teacher was shocked and angry. She scolded the other kids and made them apologize. She gave Sara back her doll and hugged her and Mia. She said, "You are brave and kind. You are good friends. You did the right thing. I am proud of you."
+
+Sara and Mia smiled. They hugged the teacher and thanked her. They hugged each other and said, "We are friends. We are not lonely. We are happy."
+Lily was sick and had to go to the hospital. She did not like the hospital. It was big and loud and scary. She wanted to go home and play with her toys.
+
+A nurse came to see Lily. She had a white coat and a kind smile. She said, "Hello, Lily. I'm here to help you feel better. I need to check your temperature and give you some medicine. Can you be brave for me?"
+
+Lily nodded, but she felt nervous. The nurse put a stick in her mouth and looked at a watch. Then she took a syringe from a tray. Lily saw the needle and started to cry. She did not want the needle. It would hurt.
+
+The nurse said, "I know, Lily. It's not fun, but it's very important. The medicine will make you strong and fight the germs. It will be over soon, I promise. Do you want me to hold your hand?"
+
+Lily nodded again, and the nurse held her hand. She felt a little better. The nurse said, "You're doing great, Lily. You're very brave. Do you know what this medicine reminds me of?"
+
+Lily shook her head, still crying.
+
+The nurse said, "It reminds me of strawberry jam. It's red and sweet and good for you. Do you like strawberry jam?"
+
+Lily sniffed and said, "Yes, I do. I like it on toast."
+
+The nurse said, "Me too. Maybe when you get better, you can have some toast with strawberry jam. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily smiled a little and said, "That sounds nice."
+
+The nurse said, "Good. Now, let's count to three and then I'll give you the medicine, okay? One, two, three!"
+
+The nurse pushed the syringe and Lily felt a pinch. She whimpered, but it was over quickly. The nurse said, "You did it, Lily! You're amazing! I'm so proud of you!"
+
+Lily felt proud too, but also embarrassed. She had cried in front of the nurse. She said, "I'm sorry, I was scared."
+
+The nurse said, "That's okay, Lily. Everyone gets scared sometimes. Even me. But you were very brave and strong. You don't have to be sorry. You have to be happy. You're getting better every day."
+
+Lily hugged the nurse and said, "Thank you, nurse. You're very nice. You make me happy."
+
+The nurse hugged her back and said, "You're very welcome, Lily. You make me happy too."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big black bird on a tree. It was a raven. The raven had shiny eyes and a sharp beak.
+
+"Look, a raven!" Ben said. "I want to touch it."
+
+"No, Ben, don't!" Lily said. "The raven might bite you. It is not a nice bird."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He ran to the tree and climbed up. He reached out his hand to the raven. The raven did not like that. It made a loud noise and flapped its wings. Then it slapped Ben's hand with its beak.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cried. He let go of the tree and fell down. He hurt his hand and his knee. He was very sad.
+
+Lily ran to Ben and hugged him. She helped him get up and took him to their mom. Their mom was sitting on a bench. She saw Ben's hand and knee. She was worried.
+
+"What happened, Ben?" she asked.
+
+"I tried to touch the raven, but it slapped me," Ben said.
+
+"That was not a good idea, Ben," she said. "You should not touch wild animals. They might be scared or angry. They might hurt you. You should be careful and gentle with them."
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Ben said. "I won't do it again."
+
+She kissed his hand and his knee. She put a band-aid on them. She gave him a juice and a cookie. She told him a story about a kind raven who helped a lost boy. Ben felt better. He learned his lesson. He said sorry to the raven. The raven flew away. Ben and Lily played in the park again. They were happy.
+Sara liked to hang her drawings on the wall. She used tape and scissors to make them stick. She drew many things, like cats, cars and stars. But her favorite thing to draw was sunflowers. She liked how they were big and yellow and happy.
+
+One day, Sara went to the park with her mom. She saw a big field of sunflowers. They were taller than her and had many seeds. Sara wanted to pick one and take it home. She asked her mom if she could. Her mom said yes, but only one.
+
+Sara looked for the best sunflower. She saw one that was very old. It had brown spots and droopy petals. Sara felt sorry for it. She thought it was lonely and sad. She decided to pick it and give it a new home. She said, "Don't worry, old sunflower. I will hang you on my wall and make you happy."
+
+Sara and her mom went back home. Sara got her tape and scissors and cut a piece of paper. She put the old sunflower on the paper and taped it. Then she hung it on the wall next to her drawings. She smiled and said, "There, old sunflower. Now you have friends and you can see the sun every day. I hope you like it here."
+
+The old sunflower felt warm and loved. It was glad that Sara picked it. It thought she was very kind and sweet. It smiled back and said, "Thank you, Sara. You are the best. I like it here very much."
+Lily liked to polish her shoes. She had a red cloth and a shiny tin. She rubbed the cloth on the tin and then on her shoes. She made them look very bright and clean.
+
+One day, she found a hidden word on her shoe. It was under the lace. She could not read it, but she liked how it looked. It was black and curly. She wondered who wrote it and what it meant.
+
+She showed it to her mom. Mom smiled and said, "That's a nice word. It says 'love'. Someone loves you very much and wanted to tell you."
+
+Lily felt happy and hugged her mom. She said, "I love you too, mom. And I love my shoes. They have a special word on them."
+
+She polished her shoes again and put them on. She went outside to play with her friends. She felt proud of her shoes and the hidden word. She hoped they would always stay shiny and lovely.
+Jen likes to speed on her bike. She likes to go fast and feel the wind on her face. She likes to be independent and do things by herself. She does not like to wait for her mom or dad.
+
+One day, Jen wants to go to the park. She does not want to ask her mom or dad. She thinks she can go by herself. She puts on her helmet and gets on her bike. She speeds down the street and turns the corner.
+
+But Jen does not see the big rock on the road. She hits the rock and falls off her bike. She hurts her knee and her elbow. She starts to cry. She wishes she had asked her mom or dad.
+
+Soon, a nice lady sees Jen and helps her. She calls Jen's mom and dad. They come quickly and hug Jen. They are not angry, but they are worried. They tell Jen that she should not go to the park by herself. They tell her that they love her and want her to be safe.
+
+Jen says she is sorry. She says she will not speed on her bike again. She says she will ask her mom or dad before she goes anywhere. She says she loves them too. She learns that being independent is good, but being careful is better.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wanted to see what was on the other side. They crawled through the hole and found a big park with swings and slides.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Ben said. "Let's go on the swings!"
+
+"Okay!" Lily said. They ran to the swings and pushed each other. They laughed and shouted.
+
+But they did not see that a mean dog was watching them. The dog did not like children. He barked and ran towards them. He wanted to bite them.
+
+"Help, help!" Ben and Lily cried. They were scared and helpless. They jumped off the swings and ran back to the hole. But the dog was faster. He blocked the hole with his body. He growled and showed his teeth.
+
+"How can we escape?" Lily asked. "He will punish us!"
+
+"Maybe we can trick him," Ben said. He picked up a stick and threw it far away. "Fetch, dog, fetch!"
+
+The dog looked at the stick. He liked sticks. He ran after the stick and left the hole.
+
+"Now, quick, let's go!" Ben said. He and Lily crawled through the hole and ran to their garden. They were safe.
+
+They hugged each other and said, "That was close! We will never go through the hole again!"
+
+They heard their mother calling them. "Ben, Lily, where are you? It's time for lunch!"
+
+They ran to their mother and said, "We are here, Mommy! We are hungry!"
+
+They did not tell her about the dog. They did not want to get in trouble. They learned their lesson.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass. But they did not like to listen to their mom. She told them to stay away from the mud. She said the mud was dirty and wet and would make their clothes and shoes dirty too.
+
+But Ben and Lily did not care. They saw a big puddle of mud near the trees. They thought it looked fun. They ran to the puddle and jumped in. They splashed and laughed and made mud pies. They did not see their mom coming.
+
+"Ben! Lily! What are you doing?" their mom shouted. She was angry. She saw their clothes and shoes covered in mud. She saw their faces and hands dirty too. "I told you to stay away from the mud! You did not listen to me! You are very naughty!"
+
+Ben and Lily stopped playing. They looked at their mom. They felt scared and sorry. They knew they did something bad. They said in a small voice, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to have fun."
+
+Their mom sighed. She loved her children, but she had to teach them a lesson. She said, "You are sorry, but you still have to be punished. You have to go home now. You have to take a bath and wash your clothes and shoes. You have to say sorry to dad too. And you have to stay in your room until dinner. No more playing in the park today."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They followed their mom to the car. They looked at the park. They saw the slide, the swings and the mud. They felt sad. They wished they had listened to their mom. They learned that playing in the mud was not worth it. They hoped their mom would forgive them and let them play in the park again soon.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and has a loud bark. Lily and Ben are scared of the dog.
+
+"Let's run away!" Lily says to Ben.
+
+"No, wait!" Ben says. "Maybe the dog is nice. Maybe he wants to play."
+
+Ben walks to the dog. He holds out his hand. The dog sniffs his hand. Then the dog licks his hand. Ben smiles.
+
+"See? He is not mean. He is warm and soft. What is your name, dog?" Ben asks.
+
+The dog wags his tail. He barks. Ben thinks the dog says his name is Rex.
+
+"Hi, Rex. I am Ben. This is Lily. Do you want to play with us?" Ben says.
+
+Lily comes closer. She is not scared anymore. She pets the dog. The dog licks her face. Lily giggles.
+
+"Yes, we want to play with you, Rex. You are a good dog. You do not scare us. You are our friend." Lily says.
+
+The dog barks again. He is happy. He runs around the park with Lily and Ben. They have fun. They are warm and safe. They are friends.
+Sara and Tom liked to play in the bath. They had many toys to make bubbles and splash. They also had a big yellow duck that was jolly. The duck could squeak and float.
+
+One day, Sara and Tom wanted to make a big wave in the bath. They moved their arms and legs fast and hard. The water went up and down and made a lot of noise. The duck was happy and squeaked louder.
+
+But Sara and Tom did not see that the water was going out of the bath. It was going down the drain. The drain was a hole that took the water away. The water was going away fast.
+
+Soon, the water was very low in the bath. Sara and Tom stopped making waves. They looked at the duck. The duck was sad and quiet. It could not float anymore. It was stuck in the drain.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara said. "The duck is in the drain! We have to get it out!"
+
+Tom nodded. He reached for the duck. He pulled and pulled. But the duck was too big for the drain. It did not come out.
+
+Sara and Tom started to cry. They liked the duck. They did not want to lose it. They wished they did not make so many waves.
+
+Then they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She came in and saw the mess. She saw the water on the floor. She saw the duck in the drain. She saw Sara and Tom crying.
+
+"What happened here?" she asked.
+
+Sara and Tom told her what they did. They said they were sorry. They asked her to help them get the duck out.
+
+Mom smiled. She was not angry. She was glad they were honest. She said she had a trick to get the duck out. She took a plunger and put it on the drain. She pushed and pulled. She made a loud pop. The duck came out of the drain. It squeaked again.
+
+Sara and Tom were happy. They hugged the duck. They thanked mom. They said they would not make so many waves again.
+
+Mom dried them and the duck. She said they could play with the duck in the bath again. But only if they watched the water. And if they were jolly.
+Tom liked to play with his sack. He put many things in it, like his ball, his car, his bear and his book. He took his sack with him when he went to the park with his mom. He liked to swing, slide and run with his sack.
+
+One day, he saw a stranger in the park. The stranger had a big hat and a long coat. He looked at Tom and his sack. He smiled and said, "Hello, little boy. What do you have in your sack? Can I see?"
+
+Tom was scared of the stranger. He did not know him. He did not want to show him his sack. He ran to his mom and hugged her. He said, "Mom, there is a stranger. He wants my sack. Help me!"
+
+His mom saw the stranger and was angry. She said, "Go away, you bad man. Leave my son alone. He does not want to talk to you. He does not want to share his sack with you. His sack is his, not yours."
+
+The stranger was scared of Tom's mom. He said, "Sorry, sorry. I did not mean to bother you. I just wanted to see what was in the sack. It looked so popular. I like popular things." He ran away from the park.
+
+Tom was happy that his mom helped him. He said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you and I love my sack. My sack is popular because it has my favorite things. I do not want to share it with strangers. Only with my friends." He hugged his mom and his sack. He played with them until it was time to go home.
+Sara and Tom were twins who liked to do everything together. They played with the same toys, wore the same clothes, and ate the same food. But one day, they had a problem. They both wanted the last piece of chocolate in the kitchen.
+
+"I saw it first!" Sara said. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Tom said. "It is mine!"
+
+They started to pull the chocolate from each other, and they began to disagree. They shouted and cried, and made a big mess.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the chocolate in their hands, and the crumbs on the floor. She was not happy.
+
+"Sara and Tom, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over the chocolate?"
+
+"Because we both want it!" they said.
+
+"But you have so many other things to share and enjoy. Why do you have to have the same thing all the time?" she asked. "You are twins, but you are also independent. You can have different likes and dislikes, and still love each other."
+
+Sara and Tom thought about what their mom said. They realized that she was right. They did not have to do everything together. They could be independent and still be twins.
+
+They decided to stop disagreeing and share the chocolate. They broke it in half and gave each other a piece. They smiled and hugged, and said sorry.
+
+Their mom was proud of them. She gave them a kiss and said, "That's very good, Sara and Tom. You learned a valuable lesson today. You can be independent and still be kind and respectful to each other. That's what makes you good twins and good friends."
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a soft bunny that she liked to squeeze and hug. Ben had a shiny car that he liked to zoom and zip around the floor. They were having fun, but they also wanted to share.
+
+Lily asked Ben if she could play with his car for a bit. Ben said yes, but only if he could play with her bunny. Lily agreed and they swapped their toys. Lily liked the car, but she was not very good at making it zip. She bumped it into the wall and the sofa and the table. Ben liked the bunny, but he was not very gentle with it. He squeezed it too hard and pulled its ears and tail.
+
+Lily and Ben started to get upset. Lily wanted her bunny back, and Ben wanted his car back. They began to argue and shout. They both reached for their own toys, but they did not let go of the other's. They pulled and tugged and yanked, but they did not share.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud rip. They looked at their toys and saw that they had broken them. The car had lost a wheel and the bunny had lost an eye. They both cried and felt sorry. They had ruined their toys and their fun.
+
+Mom came into the living room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She scolded Lily and Ben for being selfish and careless. She told them that they had to learn to share and be graceful with their toys and each other. She took away their toys and sent them to their rooms. Lily and Ben felt sad and ashamed. They wished they had played nicely and not broken their toys. They learned a hard lesson that day.
+Ben and Sam were playing with their toy soldiers in the garden. They liked to make them march and fight and pretend they were brave. They had a big box of soldiers, some green and some brown, and they put them in different teams.
+
+"Look, Sam, my soldiers are winning!" Ben said, pointing to his green team. "They are stepping on your brown soldiers and making them fall!"
+
+"No, they are not!" Sam said, getting angry. "My soldiers are stronger and smarter than yours! They are hiding behind the rocks and waiting for the right time to attack!"
+
+Sam grabbed a handful of brown soldiers and threw them at Ben's green team. Some of them hit the green soldiers and knocked them over, but some of them missed and landed on the grass.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouted. "That's not fair! You are cheating!"
+
+"I am not cheating!" Sam shouted back. "You are cheating! You have more soldiers than me!"
+
+They started to argue and push each other. They forgot about their toy soldiers and only cared about winning the fight.
+
+While they were fighting, a big dog came into the garden. He saw the toy soldiers on the grass and thought they were snacks. He ran towards them and started to bite and chew them. He did not care if they were green or brown, he liked them all.
+
+Ben and Sam heard the dog's barks and stopped fighting. They turned around and saw the dog eating their toy soldiers. They were shocked and scared. They ran to the dog and tried to get their soldiers back, but the dog was too big and strong. He growled and snapped at them and made them run away.
+
+The dog ate all the toy soldiers and left none for Ben and Sam. He was full and happy. He licked his lips and wagged his tail. He did not know he had done something bad.
+
+Ben and Sam were sad and angry. They had no toy soldiers left to play with. They had lost their game and their toys. They blamed each other and started to cry. They were tired and hurt. They did not want to be friends anymore.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys, but they have one favorite toy. It is a big bear with soft fur and a sweet smile. They call it Teddy.
+
+One day, Lily and Max have a fight. They both want to hug Teddy. They pull and tug on Teddy's arms. They do not share. They are angry and loud.
+
+Teddy does not like the fight. He feels sad and hurt. He tries to make Lily and Max stop. But they do not listen. They pull harder and harder. Then, something bad happens. Teddy's arm comes off. It is separate from his body. Lily and Max are shocked. They drop Teddy. They see his arm on the floor. They feel sorry and scared.
+
+They run to Mommy. They show her Teddy and his arm. They cry and say sorry. Mommy hugs them and says it is okay. She takes Teddy and his arm. She says she can fix him. She gets a needle and some thread. She sews Teddy's arm back to his body. She makes him whole again.
+

+Lila and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a silver necklace that she liked very much. She put it on and pretended to be a princess. Max had a red car that he liked very much. He drove it around and made loud noises.
+
+"Look at me, Max, I'm a princess!" Lila said, showing off her necklace. "Do you like my necklace?"
+
+Max looked at her and shrugged. He did not care about necklaces. He liked cars. "I like my car better," he said. "It's fast and fun."
+
+Lila felt frustrated. She wanted Max to like her necklace too. She thought it was pretty and shiny. She tried to make him jealous. "My necklace is better than your car," she said. "It's sparkly and special. You can't have it."
+
+Max felt angry. He did not like Lila being mean to him. He liked his car and he did not want her necklace. He tried to make her mad. "Your necklace is silly and boring," he said. "It's just a string with a metal thing. My car is cool and exciting. You can't play with it."
+
+Lila and Max started to argue. They said mean things to each other. They did not want to share their toys. They did not want to play together.
+
+Mom heard them and came to the living room. She saw them fighting and frowning. She was not happy. She asked them what was wrong.
+
+"Lila is mean, she says my car is silly and boring," Max said.
+
+"Max is mean, he says my necklace is silly and boring," Lila said.
+
+Mom sighed. She knew they both liked their toys, but they also needed to be kind and respectful. She decided to teach them a lesson. She took their toys and put them in a box. She said they could not have them back until they said sorry and played nicely.
+
+Lila and Max were shocked. They did not want to lose their toys. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they had been rude and selfish. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They asked Mom to give them back their toys.
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad they learned their lesson. She gave them back their toys and told them to share and have fun. Lila and Max agreed. They decided to play together and try each other's toys. Lila let Max wear her necklace and Max let Lila drive his car. They found out they both had fun and interesting toys. They laughed and enjoyed their playtime. They were happy and friendly.
+Ben and Sam were friends who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big box of old clothes and tools in the garage. They decided to dress up and act like different people.
+
+Ben put on a shiny suit and a hat and took a briefcase. He said, "I am a wealthy man who works in a big building. I have a lot of money and power. I can do whatever I want."
+
+Sam put on a dirty shirt and pants and took a hammer. He said, "I am a poor man who works hard to fix things. I have little money and no power. I have to do what others tell me."
+
+They played for a while, but soon Ben got bored. He said, "This is no fun. You are too low and I am too high. Let's switch clothes and tools and see how it feels."
+
+Sam agreed and they swapped their outfits. Ben put on the dirty shirt and pants and took the hammer. He said, "Now I am a poor man who works hard to fix things. Maybe this will be more fun."
+
+Sam put on the shiny suit and hat and took the briefcase. He said, "Now I am a wealthy man who works in a big building. Maybe this will be more exciting."
+
+They played for a while, but soon Sam got tired. He said, "This is no fun. You are too sad and I am too busy. Let's switch back to our own clothes and tools and see how it feels."
+
+Ben agreed and they swapped their outfits again. Ben put on his own shirt and pants and took his own toy. He said, "Now I am Ben, who likes to play and learn. This is the best."
+
+Sam put on his own shirt and pants and took his own toy. He said, "Now I am Sam, who likes to play and learn. This is the best."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They learned that it is not important to wear fancy clothes or have expensive tools. It is important to be happy with who you are and what you have. They played some more and had a lot of fun.
+Tom and Sue were hungry. They saw a big turkey on the table. It smelled good. They wanted to eat it.
+
+"Can we touch the turkey?" Tom asked Sue.
+
+"No, we can't. Mom said it is hot. We have to wait." Sue said.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He reached his hand to touch the turkey. He felt a sharp pain. He pulled his hand back. He cried.

+
+She took Tom to the sink. She put some ice on his hand. She kissed him. She said, "It will be okay, Tom. Next time, you have to be careful. The turkey is hot. You have to wait until it is cool. Then you can eat it. It is yummy."
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was hungry. I wanted to touch the turkey. But it was a bad idea. I will wait next time. Thank you for helping me. You are mighty. You are the best mom."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Tom. I love you. You are a good boy. Now, let's go back to the table. The turkey is almost cool. We can eat it soon. Sue is waiting for us. She is a good girl. She did not touch the turkey. She listened to me."

+
+Mom said, "You're welcome, Tom and Sue, for being my children. You are good. You are hungry. You are happy. I am happy too. Now, let's eat the turkey. It is cool. It is yummy. We are a mighty family."

+"Can I have some more yogurt, Mom?" Lily asked. She had finished her bowl and wanted more.
+
+"Of course, dear. Here you go." Mom scooped some more yogurt from the big tub and put it in Lily's bowl. She smiled at her daughter.
+
+Max was still eating his yogurt. He liked to gaze at the pictures on the tub. There were cows and flowers and bees. He wondered how the yogurt was made.
+
+"Mom, where does yogurt come from?" Max asked. He looked at Mom with curious eyes.
+
+"Yogurt comes from milk, Max. Milk comes from cows. Cows eat grass and flowers. Bees make honey from flowers. We mix milk and honey and some good bugs to make yogurt." Mom explained.
+
+"Wow, that's amazing!" Max said. He took a big spoonful of yogurt and put it in his mouth. He liked to learn new things.
+
+Lily and Max finished their breakfast and thanked Mom. They gave her a hug and a kiss. They were happy and full. They loved yogurt and Mom.
+Lily liked to sing. She sang all the time. She sang in the morning, she sang at noon, she sang at night. She sang when she was happy, she sang when she was sad, she sang when she was bored. She sang to her toys, she sang to her cat, she sang to her mom and dad.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide made of steel. It was shiny and cold. Lily wanted to slide on it. She ran to the slide and climbed up the steps. She sang a song as she slid down. "Whee, whee, whee, I love to slide, slide, slide!"
+
+But when she reached the bottom, she saw a fat boy waiting for his turn. He was angry. He did not like Lily's song. He said, "Stop singing! You are too loud! You hurt my ears! Go away!"
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to make the boy mad. She did not want to hurt his ears. She did not want to go away. She liked to sing. She said, "I'm sorry, I did not mean to be loud. I just like to sing. Singing makes me happy. Do you want to sing with me?"
+
+The boy looked at Lily. He saw her big eyes and her smile. He felt a little sorry. He did not have many friends. He did not know how to sing. He said, "I don't know how to sing. I don't have a good voice. I don't think I can make you happy."
+
+Lily said, "That's okay. You don't have to have a good voice to sing. You just have to have fun. Singing is fun. I can teach you how to sing. Come on, let's try. It's easy. Just follow me."
+
+Lily started to sing a simple song. She sang slowly and clearly. She sang with joy. She sang with love. She sang with hope. The boy listened to Lily. He felt a little curious. He felt a little brave. He felt a little happy. He opened his mouth and tried to sing along. He sang softly and shyly. He sang with fear. He sang with doubt. He sang with hope.
+
+Lily and the boy sang together. They sang on the slide. They sang in the park. They sang to the sky. They sang to each other. They sang a new song. A song of friendship. A song of kindness. A song of happiness.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a wealthy dad who gave them many toys and clothes. But they were not happy. They wanted to have friends and fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big tree in the park. It had a rope that someone had tied to a branch. They wanted to try it. They ran to the tree and took turns to hang from the rope. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and shouted.
+
+"Look at us, we are flying!" Tim said.
+
+"Yay, this is so much fun!" Lily said.
+
+But then, they heard a loud voice. It was the guard of the park. He was angry. He did not like children who made noise and messed up the park.
+
+"Hey, you two, get down from there! That rope is not for you! It is for the birds to sit on!" he yelled.
+
+He walked towards them with a stick. He looked scary.
+
+Tim and Lily were scared. They did not want to get hit by the stick. They quickly let go of the rope and ran away. They did not look back.
+
+They ran all the way to their home. They hugged each other and cried.
+
+They wished they had friends who would play with them and protect them. They wished they were not so wealthy and lonely.
+Anna loves her pet cat, Max. Max is very friendly and likes to play with Anna. Sometimes, Max plays with Anna's toys and makes them messy. Anna does not like that.
+
+One day, Anna wants to wrap a gift for her mom. She finds some paper and a ribbon and puts them on the floor. She goes to get the gift from her closet. When she comes back, she sees Max on the floor. Max has torn the paper and tangled the ribbon. He looks very happy.
+
+"Max, no!" Anna shouts. "You are a bad cat! You ruined my gift!"
+
+Max jumps off the floor and runs away. He does not understand why Anna is angry. He thinks he was helping her. He feels sad and scared.
+
+Anna tries to fix the paper and the ribbon, but they are too damaged. She starts to cry. She does not have another gift for her mom.
+
+Mom hears Anna crying and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the paper and the ribbon and the gift on the floor. She sees Anna's tears and hugs her.
+
+"What happened, sweetie?" Mom asks.
+
+"Max did it!" Anna says. "He played with my paper and ribbon and ruined my gift! I wanted to wrap it for you, but now I can't!"
+
+Mom smiles and kisses Anna's cheek. "It's okay, honey. I'm sure Max didn't mean to do it. He was just curious. He loves you and your toys. And I love you and your gift, no matter how it looks. You are very thoughtful and kind."
+
+Anna feels better and hugs Mom back. She says she is sorry for yelling at Max. She wants to find him and say sorry to him too.
+
+Mom helps Anna look for Max. They find him under the bed, hiding. Anna calls his name and reaches out her hand. Max comes out slowly and rubs his head against Anna's hand. He purrs and licks her fingers. He is sorry too.
+
+Anna picks up Max and cuddles him. She tells him she loves him and he is a good cat. She shows him the gift and says it is for Mom. She asks him to help her wrap it again.
+
+Mom finds some new paper and ribbon and helps Anna and Max wrap the gift. They make it look very pretty and put a bow on top. Anna gives the gift to Mom and says "Happy birthday, Mom! I hope you like it!"
+
+Mom opens the gift and sees a drawing of Anna, Max and Mom. She loves it and says "Thank you, Anna! This is the best gift ever! You and Max are the best!"
+
+Anna, Max and Mom hug and smile. They are very happy. They are a family.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a big spider on a web. She wanted to touch it.
+
+"Hello, spider," she said. "Can I be your friend?"
+
+The spider did not answer. It stayed very still on the web. Lily reached out her hand to touch the spider. But the spider did not like that. It bit Lily's finger.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cried. "That hurts!"
+
+She ran back to the house. She showed her finger to her mom. Her mom put some cream on it and gave her a hug.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," her mom said. "Spiders don't like to be touched. They are scared of people. You should leave them alone."
+
+Lily nodded. She felt sorry for the spider. She regretted touching it. She learned her lesson. She decided to look at the spiders from far away. She hoped the spider was not angry with her. She still wanted to be its friend.
+Lila was a gifted girl who loved to draw. She had many crayons and papers in her room. She liked to draw animals, flowers, stars and anything she saw or imagined.
+
+One day, she decided to draw a big lion. She used yellow, brown and black crayons to make its fur, mane, eyes and nose. She was very proud of her lion. She showed it to her mom and dad. They smiled and hugged her.
+
+"That's a wonderful lion, Lila. You are very gifted," her mom said.
+
+"Thank you, mom. Can I hang it on the wall?" Lila asked.
+
+"Of course, dear. Let's find a good spot for it," her dad said.
+
+They went to the living room and hung the lion on the wall. Lila admired her work. She thought her lion looked very real and strong.
+
+Suddenly, she heard a loud noise outside. It was the wind. It was blowing very hard and making the trees and the windows shake.
+
+Lila felt scared. She ran to her mom and dad and hugged them.
+
+"What's that noise, mom? What's that noise, dad?" she asked.
+
+"That's the wind, Lila. It's just the air moving fast. Sometimes it makes a lot of noise, but it can't hurt you," her mom said.
+
+"Is the wind angry, dad? Is it roaring like a lion?" Lila asked.
+
+"No, Lila. The wind is not angry. It's not roaring like a lion. It's just making a sound. Your lion is much louder and fiercer than the wind," her dad said.
+
+He took her to the wall and pointed at her drawing.
+
+"See, Lila. Your lion is roaring. Can you roar like a lion?" he asked.
+
+Lila nodded. She opened her mouth and roared as loud as she could.
+
+"Roar! Roar! Roar!" she said.
+
+Her mom and dad laughed and clapped. They joined her and roared too.
+
+"Roar! Roar! Roar!" they said.
+
+Lila felt happy. She was not scared of the wind anymore. She was gifted and brave. She had a lion on her wall and a lion in her heart.
+Tommy and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big purple ball on the grass. They ran to get it, but they did not see the rock on the way.
+
+"Ouch!" Tommy cried. He fell on the rock and hurt his knee. It was bleeding and it hurt a lot. Lily ran to him and hugged him.
+
+"Don't cry, Tommy. I will help you," she said. She took her scarf and wrapped it around his knee. She helped him stand up and walk to the bench.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend," Tommy said. He smiled and hugged her back.
+
+They sat on the bench and waited for their moms to come. They talked and laughed and shared the purple ball. Tommy's knee still hurt, but he felt better with Lily by his side.
+
+After a while, their moms came and saw Tommy's knee. They were worried and took him to the doctor. The doctor cleaned his wound and put a band-aid on it.
+
+"You are lucky, Tommy. It is not a big cut. It will heal soon. Just be careful next time and watch where you are going," the doctor said.
+
+Tommy nodded and thanked the doctor. He looked at Lily and smiled.
+
+"I am lucky, doctor. I have a good friend who helped me and made me happy. She is the best," he said.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged him. They both learned that friends are important and that they should be kind and helpful to each other. They also learned that purple balls are fun, but rocks are not.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big squash plant that grew many squashes. Some were big and some were small. Some were green and some were yellow.
+
+One day, a wealthy lady came to visit their house. She wore a shiny dress and a hat with feathers. She saw the squash plant and said, "What a lovely squash plant! Can I have one of your squashes?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They did not want to give away their squashes. They liked to eat them and make soup and pie. They said, "No, thank you. These are our squashes. We grew them ourselves."
+
+The wealthy lady frowned and said, "But I will pay you a lot of money for one squash. Money can buy you many things. Don't you want to be wealthy like me?"
+
+Lily and Tom shook their heads. They said, "No, thank you. We don't need money. We have each other and our squash plant. That makes us happy."
+
+The wealthy lady huffed and left. She did not understand why Lily and Tom did not want to get money for their squashes. She thought they were silly and poor.
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and hugged each other. They did not care what the wealthy lady thought. They knew they were rich in their own way. They picked a squash and went inside to make soup and pie. They shared it with their mom and dad and had a yummy dinner. They were happy.
+Lila and Tom are friends who live in a cold place. They like to play outside, but they need to wear warm clothes and hats. Sometimes, they feel too cold and want to go inside.
+
+One day, they see a big truck near their houses. The truck has a sign that says "Supply Heat". Lila and Tom are curious and run to the truck.
+
+"Hello, what are you doing?" Lila asks the man who drives the truck.
+
+"Hello, little ones. I am here to supply heat to your houses. I have a big tank of gas that can make your houses warm and cozy." The man says.
+
+"Wow, that sounds nice. How do you do that?" Tom asks.
+
+"Well, I connect this hose to a pipe that goes to your houses. Then, I turn on this valve and the gas flows through the pipe. The gas goes to a machine that makes heat and sends it to your rooms. It is very easy and cheap." The man explains.
+
+"Can we see the machine?" Lila asks.
+
+"Sure, follow me. But be careful, do not touch anything. The machine is very hot and can hurt you." The man warns.
+
+Lila and Tom follow the man to a small shed behind the truck. They see a big metal box with wires and pipes. The box makes a loud noise and steam comes out of it.
+
+"This is the machine that makes heat. It burns the gas and makes hot air. The hot air goes through these pipes and reaches your houses. Do you see?" The man shows them.
+
+"Yes, we see. It is amazing. Thank you for supplying heat to our houses. We will be very warm and happy." Lila and Tom say.
+
+"You are welcome, little ones. I am glad to help. Now, go back to your houses and enjoy the heat. But remember, do not waste the gas. Use it only when you need it. It is cheap, but not free." The man says.
+
+Lila and Tom nod and wave goodbye to the man. They run back to their houses and feel the heat. They are very grateful and happy. They decide to make a card for the man and thank him for his work. They draw a picture of the truck, the machine and the hose. They write "Thank you for supplying heat. You are very kind. From Lila and Tom." They put the card in an envelope and leave it on the truck. They hope the man will like it.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the living room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was the fireplace. They loved to watch the flames dance and make warm and bright colors. Sometimes, they would pretend to be firemen and put out the fire with their water guns.
+
+One day, when their mom was busy in the kitchen, they decided to play firemen again. They took their water guns and ran to the fireplace. They saw that the fire was very big and brilliant. They thought it would be fun to spray the water at the fire and make it smaller.
+
+"Ready, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"Ready, Lily!" Ben answered.
+
+They aimed their water guns at the fire and squeezed the triggers. But instead of making the fire smaller, the water made the fire bigger and louder. The fire jumped out of the fireplace and onto the carpet. The carpet started to burn and smoke. Lily and Ben were scared and dropped their water guns.
+
+"Mommy! Mommy! Help!" they cried.
+
+Their mom heard their screams and ran to the living room. She saw the fire and the smoke and grabbed a blanket. She tried to put out the fire with the blanket, but it was too late. The fire had spread to the curtains and the sofa. The living room was on fire.
+
+"Come on, kids, we have to get out!" their mom shouted.
+
+She took Lily and Ben by the hand and ran to the door. But the door was locked and the key was on the table. The table was near the fireplace and the fire was too hot to reach. They were trapped in the living room.
+
+"Help! Help! Somebody help us!" their mom screamed.
+
+But nobody heard them. The fire was too loud and the smoke was too thick. The fire burned the living room and everything in it. Lily and Ben and their mom were burned too. They were very sad and very sorry. They wished they had never played with the fireplace. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had been good. But it was too late. The end.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big cardboard box in the garage. They wonder what they can do with it.
+
+"Let's make a spaceship!" Ben says. He likes to pretend he is an astronaut.
+
+"OK!" Mia says. She likes to pretend she is an alien.
+
+They use scissors, tape, and markers to cut and decorate the cardboard box. They make windows, wings, and a rocket. They also find some old helmets and gloves to wear.
+
+They put the cardboard spaceship in the backyard. They climb inside and pretend to fly to the moon. They make noises like "beep beep" and "zoom zoom".
+
+"Look, there is an alien!" Ben says, pointing to Mia.
+
+"Hello, earthling!" Mia says, making a funny face.
+
+They laugh and have fun. They pretend to explore the moon and find rocks and stars.
+
+After a while, they start to feel tired. They yawn and rub their eyes.
+
+"Let's go back home," Mia suggests.
+
+"OK," Ben agrees.
+
+They pretend to land the cardboard spaceship in the backyard. They get out and take off their helmets and gloves.
+
+They hug and say goodbye.
+
+"See you tomorrow!" Ben says.
+
+"See you tomorrow!" Mia says.
+
+They go back to their houses and take a nap. They dream of more adventures with their cardboard spaceship.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with paper and crayons. One day, they decide to make fans with their paper. They fold the paper back and forth, and then they tape the ends together. They make fans of different colors: red, blue, green, and yellow.
+
+"Look at my fan!" Anna says. She holds up her yellow fan and waves it in the air. "It is bright and sunny, like the sun!"
+
+"I like your fan!" Ben says. He holds up his blue fan and waves it too. "It is cool and calm, like the sky!"
+
+They show each other their fans and smile. They are proud of their work. They want to share their fans with others.
+
+"Let's display our fans!" Anna says. She has an idea. "We can put them on the wall, and make a rainbow!"
+
+"Yes, let's do that!" Ben agrees. He likes the idea too. They get some tape and scissors, and they cut out some clouds from white paper. They stick the clouds and the fans on the wall, in the order of the colors. They make a beautiful rainbow with their fans.
+
+"Wow, look at our display!" Anna says. She claps her hands and jumps up and down. "It is so pretty and colorful!"
+
+"It is!" Ben says. He joins her in clapping and jumping. "We are good at making fans!"
+
+They hug each other and laugh. They are happy with their display. They hope that others will like it too. They are good friends.
+Anna liked to swing on the big swing in the park. She felt happy when she went up and down in the air. She liked to see the trees and the birds and the sky. Sometimes she sang a song when she swung.
+
+One day, she saw a new baby in the park. The baby was in a small bed with wheels. The baby's mommy was next to the bed. The baby was crying a lot. Anna wondered why the baby was sad.
+
+She got off the swing and walked to the baby. She said hello to the baby and the mommy. The mommy smiled and said hello back. She said the baby's name was Leo. She said Leo was a poor infant. He was sick and needed medicine. But the medicine was very expensive and they did not have enough money.
+
+Anna felt sorry for Leo. She wanted to help him. She thought of her piggy bank at home. She had saved some coins from her birthday and from doing chores. She asked the mommy if she could give some coins to Leo. The mommy said yes, that was very kind of her.
+
+Anna ran to her home and got her piggy bank. She came back to the park and gave it to the mommy. The mommy thanked her and hugged her. She said she would use the coins to buy medicine for Leo. She said Anna was a good girl and a good friend. Anna smiled and said she was happy to help. She hoped Leo would get better soon. She said goodbye to Leo and the mommy and went back to the swing. She felt happy when she swung. She felt happy when she helped.
+Ben and Lily wanted to go to the zoo. They loved to see the wild animals, like the lions, the monkeys, and the birds. But their mom said no. She said the zoo was too far, too crowded, and too expensive. She said they had to stay home and play with their toys.
+
+Ben and Lily were very sad. They did not want to play with their toys. They wanted to see the wild animals. They begged their mom to change her mind. They said they would be good, they would share, they would help. But their mom said no again. She said they had to save money for other things.
+
+Ben and Lily sighed. They did not understand why their mom was so mean. They did not care about money or other things. They only cared about the zoo. They decided to make a plan. They would sneak out of the house, take the bus, and go to the zoo by themselves. They thought their mom would not notice.
+
+They packed their backpacks with snacks, water, and a map. They waited until their mom was busy in the kitchen. Then they opened the door and ran outside. They felt very brave and excited. They thought they would have a lot of fun at the zoo.
+
+But they did not know how to take the bus. They did not know where to go, what to say, or how to pay. They got lost, confused, and scared. They asked a nice lady for help, but she did not understand them. She asked them where their mom was. They did not want to tell her. They thought they would get in trouble.
+
+The nice lady called the police. The police came and took Ben and Lily to the station. They asked them their names, their address, and their phone number. They called their mom and told her what happened. Their mom was very angry and worried. She came to the station and hugged them. She said they were very naughty and foolish. She said they could have been hurt or lost. She said they had to pay a big price for their mistake. She said they would not go to the zoo for a long time.
+
+Ben and Lily cried. They were very sorry and ashamed. They said they only wanted to see the wild animals. They said they did not mean to make their mom mad or sad. They said they would never do it again. Their mom said she loved them, but she was very disappointed. She said they had to learn to listen and obey. She said they had to go home and face the consequences.
+
+Ben and Lily sighed. They did not like the consequences. They wished they had stayed home and played with their toys. They learned a hard lesson. They realized the zoo was not worth the price.
+Once upon a time, there were two friends, a bear and a rabbit. They lived in the forest.

+The bear felt bad for what he did and wanted to say sorry. He went searching high and low for his friend, but he couldn't find him. 
+Finally, he spotted the rabbit in a bush. He called out to him and said he was sorry for what happened and asked for forgiveness. 
+The rabbit was so relieved to see his friend again that he said it was harmless and forgave him. The two friends hugged and went back home together.

+The bear had one last lick of honey and then went back to his cave, feeling very proud of himself.
+Once upon a time, there was a boat that sailed the sea. One day, the boat sailed too close to the shore and hit a rock! The sea water got inside the boat, making it shrink.
+
+The boat was now so small that the people inside could hardly fit. To make matters worse, a storm started to brew in the sky. The waves got bigger and bigger and started to rock the boat wildly. With every wave, the boat shrank even more!
+
+The people inside the boat were getting scared and worried. Then one of them popped open a small box and noticed something strange. It was a sour-smelling fruit! It smelled so bad that the wind changed direction and the waves stopped.
+
+The small boat was now safe, but the sour smell lingered in the air. The people inside the boat laughed and laughed as they sailed back to shore. They were so glad that the sour smell saved their little boat!
+One day, a big building was giving a special surprise. Inside was a very comfortable room. It was filled with soft pillows and nice blankets. Someones were giving out treats and yummies. Everyone was very happy and the room was very comfortable. Soon, everyone was giving each other big hugs and happy smiles. Everyone was filled with joy in that building. It was a very special day.
+Once upon a time, there was a bear named Ben. Ben was feeling very brave, so he decided to take a walk. He walked and walked but soon he felt very tired. He looked up and saw that he was in an unknown place. 
+
+So Ben began to run away. He ran and ran until he couldn't run any more. He looked up and saw that he had come back to where he began his walk. Ben realized that he had just been walking in circles the whole time. 
+
+Ben was so glad to find his way back home. He decided not to take any more unknown walks. He would stay near home from now on and just take nice, safe walks instead.
+Once there was a girl named Lucy who loved to be tidy. One day, she found a box of shiny gold! Lucy was so excited and wanted to clean it so that it would look even better. 
+
+She grabbed a cloth and some water and went to work. She wiped the gold until it sparkled in the sunlight. When she was done, she gave it a hug and smiled. 
+
+Now the gold was very clean and tidy. She put it in a special place, so that she would always remember the day she found it and made it so shiny. 
+
+The end!
+One day, there was a great sailor. He had a boat and he was ready to go sailing. He pulled his boat to a calm lake, ready to set sail. The sailor took a deep breath, smelling the fresh air and feeling the sunshine on his skin.
+
+The sailor pulled the sail up and his boat moved quickly across the lake. He saw some ducks swimming and waved to them. He sailed for a long time, until he could see the shore. When he got to the shore, he pulled his boat onto the beach and smiled.
+
+He had had a great day, and the sailor was grateful for all the wonderful views he had seen. He got back in his boat and sailed home, happy and content.
