Stop!" + +Tommy was so scared that he dropped the chocolate and burst into tears. He didn't mean to take it without asking! + +Tommy's mum was very reliable.

"We've heard some news, but it's not good news." + +"What kind of news?" the little girl asked. + +"Well," Papa began, "it seems that the old bridge is not safe anymore. We need to listen to the people who know about bridges, and make sure it gets fixed." + +The little girl looked confused so Mama explained further. "The news says that the old bridge is too weak to hold anyone crossing it. So for now, we have to stay away from it." + +The little girl nodded. She could understand that. "Can't someone fix it?" + +Mama smiled. "Yes, we have to listen to the people who know about fixing bridges. That's why we need to be careful.

"The box was a gift from your aunt. She sent it for your birthday. She wanted to surprise you with some things from her travels. The lamp was from a faraway place where they have different kinds of electricity. It was not meant for our sockets. It was an accident. You are not in trouble." + +Sara and Ben felt relieved and happy. They thanked their mom and their aunt. They said they were sorry for breaking the lamp. They asked if they could still keep the other things in the box. + +"Of course you can," Mom said. "They are yours to enjoy. But be careful with them. They are delicate and special. And remember to always ask before you use something you don't know." + +Sara and Ben nodded and smiled. They hugged their mom and their aunt.

He said to her. + +"No, Lily, this is mine now. You can't have it. You are jealous of my journal. It is better than yours." + +Lily stared at him. She did not like what he said. She felt hurt and mad. She wanted her journal back. She loved her journal. She said to him. + +"No, Max, you are wrong. This is not your journal. This is my journal. You are jealous of my journal. It is better than yours. You can't write or draw. You are mean." + +Max and Lily stared at each other. They both held the journal. They both pulled and tugged. They both shouted and cried. They did not share or listen. + +Mom heard them fighting. She came to see what was wrong. She saw them with the journal. She was not happy. She said to them. + +"Max and Lily, stop it! What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a journal? That is not nice. That is not fair. You should respect each other's things. You should apologize and make up." + +Max and Lily looked at Mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. They knew Mom was right. They let go of the journal. They said to each other. + +"Sorry, Lily. I should not have taken your journal. I should not have laughed at it. It is your journal. It is special to you." + +"Sorry, Max. I should not have yelled at you. I should not have said mean things. It is your journal. It is not better than mine." + +They hugged and smiled. They gave the journal to Lily. She thanked Max. She showed him some of her writing and drawings. He said they were nice and cool.

She cried and said, "Mom, my stuff! The bird took my stuff! It disappeared!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Oh, Sara, I'm so sorry. Your stuff was very beautiful and gifted. The bird must have liked it too. Maybe it wanted to give it to its friend or make a nest with it. But don't worry, you can make another stuff for me. I love you and I love your stuff." + +Sara sniffed and said, "Really? You love my stuff?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, of course. You are very talented and creative. You can make anything you want. And I will always love your stuff and you." + +Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. And I will make you another stuff. A better stuff. A stuff that the bird can't take." + +Her mom said, "That sounds great. Let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies. Then we can make some stuff together." + +Sara nodded and said, "OK. Let's go. And maybe we can make some stuff for the bird too. Maybe it will be sorry and bring back my stuff." + +Her mom said, "Maybe. Or maybe it will be happy and share your stuff with its friend. Either way, you are very kind and generous, Sara. And that is the best stuff of all." +Anna loves flowers. She likes to smell them, touch them, and look at their colors. She has a small garden in her backyard, where she plants seeds and waters them every day. She has a goal: to grow a big, beautiful sunflower. + +One day, she sees a small green sprout in the soil.

You have to keep taking care of your sunflower, so it can grow healthy and strong." + +Anna nods and goes back to her garden. She talks to her sunflower every day, and tells it stories and jokes. She watches it grow taller and taller, until it reaches her height. She waits for it to bloom and show its yellow petals. + +One morning, she wakes up and runs to her garden. She gasps in delight. Her sunflower has bloomed! It is big and bright and beautiful. It looks like a happy face in the sun. Anna dances around it and sings. "You did it, sunflower! You did it!

They like to play in the park with their mom. Today, mom says they can pick a new shoe each. They are very happy. + +They go to the shoe store with mom. There are many shoes in the store. Some are big, some are small. Some are red, some are blue. Some have laces, some have velcro. Anna and Ben look at all the shoes. + +Anna sees a shoe that is pink and sparkly. It has a flower on it. She thinks it is amazing. She says to mom, "Mom, I want this shoe. It is so pretty. Can I have it, please?" + +Ben sees a shoe that is green and black. It has a dinosaur on it.

She gave them each a ticket and told them to wait in line. + +Anna and Ben were very happy and ran to the line. But when they got there, they saw a boy who was very selfish. He had many tickets in his hand and he did not let anyone else get on the train. He said, "This is my train. I have all the tickets. Go away!" + +Anna and Ben were very sad and angry. They did not think it was fair. They wanted to ride the train too. They looked at their mom, but she did not see what was happening. She was talking to another mom. + +"What can we do?" Anna whispered to Ben. + +"I have an idea," Ben whispered back. He saw a dog that was tied to a tree near the train. The dog looked friendly and bored. Ben went to the dog and untied him. He said, "Hi, dog. Do you want to play with me?" + +The dog wagged his tail and followed Ben. Ben led him to the train and said, "Look, dog. There is a boy who has many tickets. Do you want to play with him?" + +The dog barked and ran to the boy. He jumped on him and licked his face. The boy was scared and dropped his tickets. The tickets flew in the air and landed on the ground. Anna and Ben quickly picked up two tickets and got on the train. The dog followed them and sat next to them. + +"Thank you, dog. You rescued us," Anna and Ben said. They hugged the dog and gave him some treats. The dog was happy and wagged his tail. The train started to move and they enjoyed the ride. + +The boy was left alone and cried. He learned a lesson. He should not be selfish and share with others. Maybe then he would have some friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars and trucks in the living room. They liked to pretend they were drivers who had to deliver things to different places. Lily had a red truck and Ben had a blue car. + +"Beep beep, I have to deliver this box to the farm," Lily said, holding a cardboard box in her truck. "It has green apples inside. Do you want to come with me?" + +"Okay, but I have to deliver this bag to the school first," Ben said, putting a paper bag in his car. "It has green crayons inside. They are for the teacher." + +They drove their toys across the carpet, making noises and stopping at different spots. They had fun delivering their things and seeing different places. + +But after a while, they started to feel tired. Their eyes were heavy and their mouths were yawning. They decided to go back to their home base, which was a big pillow. + +"Phew, we did a lot of work today," Lily said, parking her truck next to the pillow. "We are good drivers." + +"Yes, we are," Ben said, parking his car next to the truck. "But now we need a nap." + +They cuddled with their toys and closed their eyes. They fell asleep, dreaming of more adventures. +Anna loved to perform for her family. She liked to sing, dance and tell jokes. She had a notebook where she wrote down her ideas and drew pictures.

Anna asked. + +"Of course, my sweet girl, I would love to see your show," grandma said, smiling. + +Anna opened her notebook and showed her grandma the first page.

You are very good at drawing," grandma said. + +Anna turned to the next page. It had a drawing of a star and the word "shine". She said, "This is a star.

They opened the door and looked at the food. + +"Wow, look at this!" Max said. He saw a big cake with pink frosting and sprinkles. "Can we have some?" + +Lily shook her head. "No, we can't.

He wanted to taste the frosting. + +Lily tried to stop him. She pulled his arm. "Max, no! Mommy will warn us. She will say, 'No cake for you!' She will put us in time out. Please, Max, let go of the cake!" + +But Max did not let go. He pulled the cake out of the fridge. He dropped it on the floor. The cake broke into pieces.

I do not want to go." + +Tom is sad. He likes the slide, but he likes Lily more. He does not want to leave her alone. He thinks of a task to make her happy. + +"Look, Lily, there are some flowers. Let us pick some for your mom. She will like them." + +Lily smiles. She likes flowers. She likes her mom. She likes Tom. She nods and follows him. + +They pick some yellow and purple flowers.

They had a big plan. They wanted to scare the witch who lived in the old house. The witch was very busy. She made potions and spells all day. She did not like children. + +One day, Lily and Ben put on masks and capes. They looked like monsters. They waited for the witch to come out of her house. They hid behind a tree. When they saw the witch, they jumped out and shouted, "Boo!" + +The witch was not scared. She laughed and said, "Hello, little monsters. Do you want to see my potions and spells? They are very fun and interesting. Come with me." + +Lily and Ben were curious. They followed the witch into her house. They saw many bottles and jars and books. The witch showed them how to make bubbles and colors and sounds. She was very nice and friendly. + +Lily and Ben forgot their plan. They had fun with the witch. They learned many things. They said, "Thank you, witch. You are not scary. You are cool." + +The witch smiled and said, "You are welcome, little monsters. You are not mean. You are brave. Come back anytime." +Anna liked to read books. She had many books in her room. She liked to look at the pictures and the words. Sometimes, she read the books to her teddy bear. + +One day, she found a new book on the shelf. It was big and red. It had a picture of a dragon on the cover. Anna liked dragons. She wanted to read the book. + +She took the book and opened it. But she saw something strange. The pages were wet and sticky. They had a bad smell. Anna felt scared. She closed the book and ran to her mom. + +"Mom, mom, look at this book!" she cried. "It is wet and sticky and smelly. What is it?" + +Mom looked at the book. She frowned. She took a cloth and wiped the book. She said, "Anna, this is a dangerous book. It is not for you. It is for dad. He is a scientist. He studies dragons. He uses this book to learn about them. But the book has dragon spit on it. Dragon spit is wet and sticky and smelly. And it can make you sick. You should not touch it." + +Anna felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not know. I like dragons. But I don't like dragon spit. Can I read another book?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Of course, Anna. You can read another book. But not this one. This one is for dad. He will put it in a safe place. Come, let's find a nice book for you. How about this one? It has a picture of a princess and a unicorn. Do you like princesses and unicorns?" + +Anna nodded. She said, "Yes, mom. I like princesses and unicorns. They are pretty and nice. Can you read it to me?" + +Mom hugged her. She said, "Sure, Anna. I can read it to you. Let's go to your room.

And they read about the princess and the unicorn. And they were happy. +Lily liked to record her voice with her mom's phone. She would sing songs, tell jokes, and make funny noises. She would play them back and laugh. One day, she found a big onion in the kitchen. She thought it looked funny, so she decided to record herself talking to it. + +"Hello, onion. You are round and smelly. Do you have a name?" she asked the onion. She held the phone close to the onion, hoping it would answer. But the onion was silent. Lily was not happy. She wanted the onion to talk back. + +She tried again. "Onion, onion, please say something. Are you shy? Are you sad? Do you want to be my friend?" she begged the onion. She waited for a sound, but nothing came. Lily was worried. Maybe the onion was sick. Maybe it needed help. + +She ran to find her mom. "Mom, mom, come quick! The onion is not talking!" she cried. She showed her mom the phone and the onion. Her mom smiled and hugged her. + +"Lily, the onion is not alive. It is a vegetable. It cannot talk or hear. You can record your voice, but the onion cannot answer. It is for cooking, not for playing," her mom explained. + +Lily was confused. She looked at the onion and the phone. She did not understand. How could something look so funny and not be alive? She felt silly and sad. She did not want to play with the onion anymore. + +"Can I play with something else?" she asked her mom. + +"Of course, sweetie. How about we record a story together? You can choose the characters and the plot. We can use our voices and our imagination. It will be fun," her mom suggested. + +Lily liked that idea. She smiled and nodded. She put the onion back in the kitchen and followed her mom to the living room. She picked up her favorite book and opened it. She was ready to record a new adventure. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over them. They pull and push and yell. Mom and Dad are not happy. + +One day, they have a big fight over a blue car. Sara says it is hers. Ben says it is his. They both want to play with it. They do not want to share. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom and Dad hear them and come to their room. They see the twins fighting over the blue car. They are sad and angry. They say, "Stop fighting! You are twins. You should love each other and share. You should unite, not fight." + +Sara and Ben look at Mom and Dad. They feel sorry. They do not want to make them sad and angry. They do not want to fight. They want to play and have fun. + +They say, "Sorry, Mom and Dad. We love you. We love each other. We will share. We will unite, not fight." + +Mom and Dad smile and hug them. They say, "We love you, too. We are proud of you. You are good twins. You are good children." + +Then they hear a knock on the door. It is their uncle. He has come to visit them. He has a big bag of gifts. He says, "Hello, Sara and Ben. I have something for you. Do you want to see?" + +Sara and Ben run to the door. They are happy to see their uncle. They love him. They say, "Hello, uncle. We are happy to see you. What do you have for us?" + +Their uncle opens his bag. He takes out two cars. One is blue. One is red. He says, "These are for you. One for each of you. You can play with them together. You can have fun. You can unite, not fight." + +Sara and Ben are very happy. They thank their uncle. They hug him. They take their cars. They play with them together. They have fun. They unite, not fight. They are happy twins. They are happy children. +Mia likes to play with yarn. She has many colors of yarn in her box. She makes shapes and animals with yarn. She likes to touch the yarn and feel how soft it is. + +One night, Mia hears a noise in her room. She is scared. She thinks there is a monster under her bed. She wants to call her mom, but she is too afraid to make a sound. She sees a dark shadow on the wall. She thinks it is the monster. + +She reaches for her box of yarn. She wants to hug her yarn and feel safe. She finds a ball of blue yarn and holds it tight. She feels something move in the yarn. She screams. + +"Meow!" The noise comes from the yarn. Mia looks closer. She sees a pair of yellow eyes and a pink nose. It is not a monster. It is her cat, Luna. Luna likes to play with yarn too. She was hiding in the box. + +Mia laughs. She is not scared anymore. She pets Luna and says, "You silly cat! You scared me! But I'm glad you are here. You are my friend. Do you want to play with yarn with me?" + +Luna purrs and nods. She jumps out of the box and picks a ball of red yarn. She rolls it on the floor and chases it. Mia joins her. They play with yarn until they are tired. Then they curl up on the bed and fall asleep. They dream of yarn and cats and monsters. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big dog with a red collar. The dog looked friendly and wagged its tail. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Tom. + +"OK, but we have to ask the owner first," Tom said. He lead Lily to the bench where a man was sitting with a book. "Excuse me, sir, can we pet your dog?" Tom asked politely. + +The man looked up and smiled. "Sure, his name is Max. He loves children. Just be gentle and don't pull his ears," he said. + +Lily and Tom thanked the man and went to Max. They stroked his fur and scratched his belly. Max licked their faces and made them laugh. They had so much fun with Max that they forgot about their toys. + +But then, a loud noise scared Max. He barked and ran away from the bench. Lily and Tom tried to catch him, but he was too fast. They saw him run to the street where there were many cars. + +"Max, come back!" Lily and Tom shouted. + +They were very upset. They did not want Max to get hurt. They ran to the street, but the man stopped them. + +"Wait, kids, it's too dangerous. I'll get Max, don't worry," he said. He ran after Max and whistled. Max heard him and stopped. The man grabbed his collar and brought him back to the bench. + +Lily and Tom were relieved. They hugged Max and said sorry. + +"It's OK, he's fine. He just got scared. You did nothing wrong," the man said. He gave them a treat to give to Max. Max ate the treat and wagged his tail again. + +Lily and Tom smiled. They were happy that Max was safe. They said goodbye to the man and Max and went back to their toys. They decided to play with Max again another day. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play together. One day, they see a poster for a big event. The poster has many colors and pictures. It says there will be games, music, and prizes at the event. + +"Wow, this looks fun!" Tom says. "Do you want to go?" + +Sue nods. "Yes, I do. But we need to ask our moms first." + +They run to their moms and show them the poster. Their moms look at it and smile. + +"That does look fun," Tom's mom says. "But it is very far away. We need to take a bus to get there. And the bus costs money." + +Sue's mom nods. "That's true. And the event is also very long. It starts in the morning and ends in the evening. You might get tired and hungry." + +Tom and Sue feel sad. They really want to go to the event. They look at their moms with big eyes. + +"Please, can we go?" they ask. + +Their moms think for a moment. Then they have an idea. + +"How about this?" Sue's mom says. "We can go to the park instead. The park is close and free. And there are also games, music, and prizes there. The park has a fair today. Do you know what a fair is?" + +Tom and Sue shake their heads. They do not know what a fair is. + +"A fair is a special event where people can have fun," Tom's mom explains. "There are rides, like a carousel and a slide. There are stalls, where you can play games and win prizes, like toys and candy. There are also clowns, who make jokes and balloons. And there is music, from a band and a speaker. It is like a big party." + +Tom and Sue's eyes light up. They think a fair sounds very fun. + +"Can we go to the fair?" they ask. + +Their moms nod. "Yes, we can. We recommend the fair. It is better for you than the other event. The other event is too far, too long, and too loud. You might feel weak and unhappy there. But the fair is close, short, and fun. You will feel strong and happy there." + +Tom and Sue agree. They thank their moms and hug them. Then they get ready to go to the fair. They are very excited. They think the fair will be the best event ever. +Lily wanted to help her mom bake a cake. She put on a pink apron and climbed on a chair. She saw a big bowl with flour and eggs. She wanted to stir them with a spoon. + +"Can I help, Mom?" she asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. You are a great helper. But be careful, the bowl is heavy and the flour is messy," Mom said. + +Lily nodded and took the spoon. She stirred the flour and eggs very fast. She liked how they made a sticky dough. But she stirred too fast and too hard. The bowl tipped over and the dough spilled on the floor. And on Lily's apron. And on Mom's dress. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "I'm sorry, Mom. I made a big mess. I embarrass you." + +Mom looked at Lily and smiled. She hugged her and kissed her cheek. + +"You don't embarrass me, Lily. You make me happy. Accidents happen. We can clean up the mess together. And we can still bake a cake. Do you want to help me measure the sugar and the butter?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She wiped her apron and followed Mom. She still wanted to help her mom bake a cake. She loved her mom very much. And her mom loved her too. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Ben, but she could not see him. She wondered where he was hiding. + +She walked around the park, calling his name. She checked behind the trees, under the benches, and in the bushes. She still could not find him. She started to feel worried. Maybe he was lost or hurt. She wished she had her medal with her. Her medal was a gift from her grandma. It was shiny and had a star on it. She liked to wear it around her neck. It made her feel brave and lucky. + +She decided to look in one more place. She saw a big slide with a tunnel at the top. Maybe Ben was hiding in the tunnel. She climbed up the ladder and reached the tunnel. She was about to peek inside, when she heard a loud roar. She jumped back and saw a big, scary dog coming out of the tunnel. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It was a dangerous dog. It barked at Lily and ran towards her. + +Lily was very scared. She screamed and ran down the slide. She hoped the dog would not follow her. She ran to the other side of the park, where she saw a man in a uniform. He was a park ranger. He had a whistle and a badge. He saw Lily and the dog and blew his whistle. He shouted at the dog and chased it away. He came back to Lily and asked her if she was okay. + +Lily nodded and hugged him. She was glad he was there. He was a hero. He asked her where her parents were. She pointed to the bench where her mom was sitting. She had not seen the dog or heard the whistle. She was reading a book. The park ranger took Lily to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom was shocked and hugged Lily. She thanked the park ranger and gave him a medal. It was Lily's medal. She said he deserved it more than anyone. He smiled and thanked her. He said he would keep it as a reminder of his brave little friend. + +Lily felt sad to give away her medal, but she was happy to make the park ranger happy. She looked for Ben and saw him coming out of a trash can. He had been hiding there all along. He did not know about the dog or the medal. He asked Lily if she had found him. She shook her head and said no. She said they should play a different game. He agreed and suggested they play tag. She said okay and ran after him. They laughed and had fun. They forgot about the dog and the medal. They were just happy to be together. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park near their homes. One day, they see a big dog on the street. The dog is barking and running. Ben and Mia are scared. + +"Let's go back home!" Mia says. "The dog is too loud and fast!" + +But Ben wants to be brave. He says, "No, we can manage. The dog is not bad. Maybe he is lost and needs help." + +Ben walks slowly to the dog. He holds out his hand and says, "Hello, dog. Are you OK? Do you have a name?" + +The dog stops barking and sniffs Ben's hand. He wags his tail and licks Ben's face. Ben smiles and pets the dog. He sees a tag on the dog's collar. It says, "Spot. I am weak and old. Please call my owner." + +Ben says, "Oh, Spot. You are not scary. You are just weak and old. Don't worry, we will call your owner and he will come for you." + +Ben and Mia go to the park office and ask for a phone. They call the number on the tag. A man answers and says, "Thank you for finding my dog. I have been looking for him all day. He ran away from home. He is very weak and old and sometimes gets confused. I will be there soon to pick him up." + +Ben and Mia wait with Spot until the man arrives. He hugs Spot and thanks Ben and Mia for their kindness. He gives them a reward of two ice creams. Ben and Mia are happy. They have made a new friend and helped an old dog. They say goodbye to Spot and the man and go back to their homes. They think they are very brave and good. +Lily liked to grow sunflowers in her garden. She had a big pot with soil and seeds. Every day, she watered the pot and waited for the sunflowers to come out. + +One day, she saw a green stem poking out of the soil. She was very happy and clapped her hands. She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, look! My sunflower is growing!" + +Mom smiled and said, "That's wonderful, Lily. You are a good gardener. Do you want to request something for your sunflower?" + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I want to request a hat for my sunflower. A funny hat, like a clown hat. Can you make one, Mom?" + +Mom laughed and said, "A funny hat for your sunflower? That's a very creative idea, Lily. I can try to make one with some paper and glue. Come on, let's go to the craft room." + +Lily and Mom went to the craft room and made a funny hat for the sunflower. It was red and yellow and had a pom-pom on top. They put the hat on the sunflower and took a picture. Lily and Mom thought the sunflower looked very funny and cute. They hugged each other and said, "We love our sunflower!" +Lily and Tom went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They also liked to look for shells. Shells were pretty and shiny and had different shapes and colors. + +One day, Lily found a big shell that was pink and white. She was very happy and showed it to Tom. "Look, Tom, I found a good shell!" she said. + +Tom looked at the shell and smiled. He wanted to examine it. He asked Lily, "Can I see your shell, please?" + +Lily nodded and gave the shell to Tom. Tom held the shell in his hands and looked at it closely. He saw that the shell had many lines and bumps and holes. He put the shell to his ear and listened. He heard a soft sound, like the sea. + +"Wow, this is a good shell, Lily!" he said. "It has a lot of things to see and hear. Thank you for letting me examine it." + +Lily smiled and took the shell back. She was glad that Tom liked her shell. She said, "You're welcome, Tom. Maybe we can find more good shells together." + +They hugged and ran to Mom and Dad. They showed them the good shell and told them what they saw and heard. Mom and Dad praised them and said they were good children. They all had a good day at the beach. +Ben and Mia like to help Mom in the kitchen. They put on aprons and wash their hands. Mom gives them spoons and bowls. She says, "We are going to make sauce for the pasta. Do you want to help me?" + +Ben and Mia nod and smile. They love pasta and sauce. Mom shows them how to pour tomatoes and water into a big pot. She adds salt and pepper and some green leaves. She says, "This is basil. It smells good. Can you smell it?" Ben and Mia sniff the leaves and say, "Yes, it smells good." + +Mom puts the pot on the stove and turns on the fire. She says, "Now we have to wait for the sauce to boil. Then we can turn it down and let it simmer. Do you know what simmer means?" Ben and Mia shake their heads. Mom says, "It means to cook slowly and gently. Like this." She makes a soft bubbling sound with her mouth. + +Ben and Mia laugh and copy her. They watch the sauce in the pot. They see bubbles start to form and pop. They hear the sauce sizzle and splatter. Mom says, "Look, the sauce is boiling. Now we can turn it down and let it simmer. Can you help me turn the knob?" Ben and Mia take turns to turn the knob. They turn it to the left until the fire is small. + +Mom says, "Good job. Now we have to stir the sauce every once in a while. Do you want to take turns to stir?" Ben and Mia say, "Yes, please." Mom gives them a wooden spoon and says, "Be careful, the sauce is hot. Don't touch the pot or the fire. Just stir gently like this." She shows them how to move the spoon in circles in the sauce. + +Ben and Mia take turns to stir the sauce. They see the sauce change color and texture. It becomes thicker and smoother. They smell the tomatoes and the basil. They say, "Mmm, it smells yummy." Mom says, "Yes, it does. Do you want to taste it?" Ben and Mia say, "Yes, please." Mom takes a small spoon and dips it in the sauce. She blows on it to cool it down. She says, "Here, try a little bit. Is it good?" Ben and Mia taste the sauce and say, "Yes, it's good. It's sweet and tangy." + +Mom says, "I'm glad you like it. Now we have to cook the pasta. Do you know what pasta is?" Ben and Mia say, "Yes, it's the long and curly things." Mom says, "That's right. They are called noodles. We have to boil them in water until they are soft. Do you want to help me pour them in the pot?" Ben and Mia say, "Yes, please." Mom takes another big pot and fills it with water. She adds some salt and oil. She says, "This will make the pasta taste better and not stick together. Can you help me turn on the fire?" Ben and Mia help her turn on the fire. They watch the water in the pot. They see it become clear and hot. They see bubbles start to form and pop. They hear the water boil and gurgle. Mom says, "Look, the water is boiling. Now we can add the pasta. Can you help me open the bag?" Ben and Mia help her open the bag. They see the noodles inside. They are dry and hard. Mom says, "We have to break them in half so they fit in the pot. Can you help me break them?" Ben and Mia help her break the noodles. They hear them snap and crack. They say, "This is fun." Mom says, "Yes, it is. Now we can pour them in the pot. Be careful, the water is hot. Don't splash or burn yourself. Just pour slowly like this." She shows them how to pour the noodles in the water. They see them sink and float. They see them swirl and curl. They say, "Wow, they look funny." Mom says, "Yes, they do. Now we have to stir them every once in a while. Do you want to take turns to stir?" Ben and Mia say, "Yes, please." Mom gives them another wooden spoon and says, "Be careful, the water is hot. Don't touch the pot or the fire. Just stir gently like this." She shows them how to move the spoon in the water. Ben and Mia take turns to stir the pasta. They see the pasta change shape and texture. It becomes softer and smoother. They say, "Can we taste it?" Mom says, "Not yet. We have to wait for it to be cooked. Do you know how to tell if it's cooked?" +Lily liked to play with her mom's things. She liked to wear her mom's shoes and hats and necklaces. She liked to pretend she was a grown-up lady. One day, she saw her mom's coffee on the table. It was in a big mug with a picture of a cat. Lily thought it looked yummy. She wanted to try it. + +She climbed on a chair and reached for the mug. She was very careful not to spill it. She took a sip and made a face. It was hot and bitter and not yummy at all. She put the mug back on the table and ran to the sink. She drank some water to wash away the bad taste. + +Her mom came into the kitchen and saw her. She smiled and asked, "Did you borrow my coffee, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I did. But I didn't like it. It was too long and too icky." + +Her mom laughed and said, "That's okay, Lily. Coffee is not for little girls. It's for grown-ups who need to stay awake. You don't need coffee. You need milk and juice and water. And maybe some cookies." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom, I do. Can I have some cookies, please?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, you can. But first, let me give you a hug and a kiss. You are my sweet and curious girl. And I love you very much." + +Lily hugged and kissed her mom and said, "I love you too, mom. And I'm sorry I borrowed your coffee." + +Her mom said, "That's okay, Lily. You can borrow anything from me. Except my coffee." +Lily liked to look at the calendar on the wall. It had pictures of animals and flowers for each month. She liked to point at them and say their names. But one day, she saw that the calendar was torn and some pages were missing. She felt sad and angry. + +"Who did this?" she asked her brother Max, who was playing with his cars on the floor. + +"Not me," Max said. "Maybe it was the wind." + +Lily did not believe him. She thought he was lying. She wanted to restore the calendar and make it whole again. She looked around for the missing pages. She found one under the sofa, one behind the bookshelf, and one in the trash can. She was happy. + +She took some tape and tried to stick the pages back on the calendar. But it was hard. The tape did not stick well and the pages were wrinkled and dirty. She felt frustrated and cried. + +"Mommy, help me!" she called. + +Mommy came and saw what Lily was doing. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, honey. The calendar is broken. But we can get a new one. Do you want to go to the store with me and pick one?" + +Lily nodded. She wiped her tears and smiled. She liked to go to the store with Mommy. She hoped to find a new calendar with even more pictures of animals and flowers. She felt hopeful and excited. +Lily likes to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She finds a red skirt in the closet and tries to put it on. But the skirt is too big for her. It falls down to her feet and makes her trip. + +"Whoops!" Lily says. She laughs and gets up. She sees a belt on the shelf. She thinks the belt can make the skirt fit. She wraps the belt around her waist and pulls it tight. The skirt stays up, but it is still too long. It covers her shoes and drags on the floor. + +Lily walks to the mirror to see how she looks. She hears a knock on the door. It is her mom. + +"Lily, what are you doing in there?" her mom asks. + +Lily opens the door and smiles. She shows her mom her outfit. + +"Look, Mom, I'm wearing your skirt!" she says. + +Her mom looks at her and tries not to laugh. She sees the belt and the skirt and how they don't match. + +"Lily, you are very creative, but that skirt is not for you. It is for grown-ups. It doesn't fit you. It is too big and too long. You might trip and hurt yourself. Why don't you take it off and put on something else?" her mom says. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes the skirt, but she doesn't want to trip and hurt herself. She nods and agrees. + +"Okay, Mom, I will take it off. But can I keep the belt? It is pretty and shiny. And it fits me!" she says. + +Her mom smiles and hugs her. + +"Sure, Lily, you can keep the belt. But only if you answer me one question. What do you want to be when you grow up?" she says. + +Lily thinks hard. She has many ideas. She likes to dress up and pretend. She likes to sing and dance. She likes to draw and paint. She likes to read and write. She likes to help and learn. + +She looks at her mom and answers. + +"I want to be everything, Mom. Everything!" she says. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy jeep. It was big and red and had four wheels. They could push it or pull it on the grass or the dirt. Sometimes they pretended it was a real jeep and they were going on adventures. + +One day, they decided to have a race with their jeep. They each held one end of a rope that was tied to the jeep. They counted to three and then started to pull. They wanted to see who could pull the jeep faster and farther. + +"Pull, pull, pull!" Tom shouted, as he tried to make the jeep move his way. + +"No, pull, pull, pull!" Lily shouted back, as she tried to make the jeep move her way. + +They pulled and pulled and pulled, but the jeep did not move much. It was too heavy and the rope was too tight. They both got tired and sweaty and red in the face. They were very competitive and did not want to give up. + +"Let's stop, Tom," Lily said. "This is not fun. We are not playing, we are fighting." + +"OK, Lily," Tom said. "You are right. This is not fun. We are not playing, we are fighting." + +They let go of the rope and looked at each other. They felt sorry and sad. They did not like to fight. They liked to play. + +"Can we still be friends, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, Tom," Lily said. "We are always friends." + +They hugged and smiled. Then they picked up their jeep and pushed it together. They decided to go on an adventure instead of a race. They had more fun that way. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. They had many toys and books, because their parents were rich. They had a big house and a big car. + +One day, their parents said they had a surprise for them. They took them to the car and drove to a big store. There, they saw many bikes of different colors and sizes. Their parents said they could each choose one bike. Tom and Lily were very happy. They ran to the bikes and looked at them. + +"I want the red one!" Tom said. "It has a horn and a light and a buckle on the seat." + +"I want the pink one!" Lily said. "It has a basket and a bell and a buckle on the handle." + +Their parents smiled and bought the bikes for them. They helped them put on helmets and gloves. Then they said they could ride their bikes in the park. + +Tom and Lily thanked their parents and hugged them. They were very excited to receive their new bikes. They got on their bikes and started to pedal. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They rang their bells and honked their horns. They had a lot of fun with their bikes. They were very happy. +Lily and Ben like to play in the yard. They gather sticks and leaves and make a fort. They use a nail to hold the sticks together. They pretend they are spies and watch for bad guys. + +One day, they see a big dog coming. The dog is black and has sharp teeth. It barks loud and runs fast. Lily and Ben are scared. They hide in their fort and hope the dog will go away. + +"Shh, don't make noise," Lily whispers to Ben. "Maybe the dog will not find us." + +But the dog smells them and comes closer. It scratches the fort and tries to get in. Lily and Ben are very alert. They look for a way to escape. + +"Look, there is a hole in the fence," Ben says. "We can crawl through it and run to the house." + +Lily nods. They wait for the dog to move away a little. Then they grab their nail and run to the hole. They crawl through it and dash to the door. They are safe. + +"Mom, mom, there is a big dog in the yard," they shout. "It tried to get us." + +Mom comes out and sees the dog. She calls the owner and tells him to get his dog. She hugs Lily and Ben and tells them they are brave. + +"Next time, be careful when you play outside," she says. "And don't forget your nail. You might need it again." +Sara liked to design things. She used paper, crayons, scissors and glue to make pictures and shapes. She also liked to design soap. She had a kit with different colors and molds. She could make soap that looked like flowers, stars, animals and more. + +One day, she wanted to show her soap to her friend Ben. She put some of her soap in a bag and went to his house. She knocked on the door and Ben opened it. + +"Hi, Sara. What do you have in your bag?" Ben asked. + +"I have soap that I designed. Do you want to see?" Sara said. + +"Sure, let me see." Ben said. He took the bag from Sara and opened it. He looked at the soap and made a face. "This is not soap. This is junk. It looks ugly and it smells bad. I don't want it. Go away." He threw the bag back at Sara and slammed the door. + +Sara felt very sad and angry. Ben was very rude to her. He did not like her soap and he did not say sorry. He hurt her feelings and he wasted her soap. She picked up the bag and walked away. She decided that Ben was not her friend anymore. She went home and hugged her mom. She told her what happened and her mom comforted her. + +"Sara, I'm sorry that Ben was rude to you. He was wrong to say those things and to throw your soap. Your soap is very beautiful and creative. You worked hard to design it and I'm proud of you. You don't need friends who don't appreciate you. You have other friends who are kind and who like your soap. Do you want to make some more soap with me?" Her mom asked. + +"Yes, mom. I want to make more soap with you. Thank you for being nice to me. I love you." Sara said. + +"I love you too, Sara. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and have some fun." Her mom said. + +They went to the kitchen and made more soap together. They used different colors and molds and made soap that looked like hearts, rainbows, butterflies and more. They had a lot of fun and they forgot about Ben. Sara was happy again. She liked to design soap and she liked her mom. She knew that her mom was her best friend. +Sam and Lily were playing in the yard. They saw a big pile of leaves that Dad had made with the rake. Sam wanted to test how high he could jump into the leaves. He ran and jumped with all his might. He landed with a loud crunch and a big smile. + +"That was fun!" he said. "You try, Lily!" + +Lily was scared. She did not like to jump. She thought the leaves might hurt her or hide her. She shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I like to watch." + +Sam did not understand. He thought jumping was the best thing ever. He wanted to share his fun with Lily. He had an idea. He said, "Look, Lily, I can make a powerful wind with the rake. Watch this!" + +He picked up the rake and swung it in the air. The leaves flew everywhere. Some of them landed on Lily's head and shoulders. She squealed and laughed. She brushed them off and said, "That was funny, Sam! You are so strong!" + +Sam was happy. He put down the rake and said, "Come on, Lily, let's jump together. It will be more fun!" + +Lily nodded. She was not scared anymore. She held Sam's hand and they ran and jumped into the leaves. They giggled and rolled and hugged. They had a lot of fun. Dad watched them and smiled. He was proud of his kids. He loved them very much. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to act like animals and make noises. Lily was a bird and Tom was a lion. They ran and jumped and flew and roared. + +Lily saw a pebble on the ground. It was shiny and smooth. She picked it up and showed it to Tom. "Look, Tom, a lovely pebble!" she said. + +Tom looked at the pebble. He liked it too. He wanted to have it. He said, "Give me the pebble, Lily. It is mine." + +Lily did not want to give the pebble to Tom. She said, "No, Tom, it is mine. I found it first." + +Tom and Lily started to fight over the pebble. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They were not happy. + +A lady saw them fighting. She came over and said, "Stop, stop, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over a pebble?" + +Tom and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at the lady. They felt ashamed. + +The lady said, "A pebble is not worth fighting over. You are friends. You should share and be kind. Here, I have two pebbles for you. One for each of you. They are both lovely. Now, can you say sorry to each other and play nicely?" + +Tom and Lily looked at the two pebbles. They were both shiny and smooth. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They thanked the lady and took the pebbles. They decided to act like animals again. But this time, they were friendly animals. They shared and played and had fun. +Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play together. Sometimes they played with cars, sometimes they played with dolls, sometimes they played with blocks. They had fun. + +One day, their mom said, "It is time for dinner. Come to the table, please." Anna and Ben ran to the table. They were hungry. They saw their plates. They had chicken, rice, and carrots. They liked chicken and rice, but they did not like carrots. + +"I don't want carrots," Anna said. "Me neither," Ben said. They pushed their carrots to the side of their plates. They ate their chicken and rice. + +"You have to eat your carrots, too," their mom said. "They are good for you. They make you strong and healthy. And if you eat your carrots, you can have dessert." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They wanted dessert. They knew dessert was something sweet and yummy. They wondered what dessert was today. + +"What is dessert, mom?" Anna asked. + +"Dessert is cake," their mom said. "Chocolate cake. With frosting. And sprinkles." + +Anna and Ben's eyes grew big. They loved cake. Chocolate cake was their favorite. They wanted cake very much. + +They looked at their carrots. They did not want carrots. But they wanted cake more. + +They decided to eat their carrots. They ate them very slow. They made faces. They did not like the taste. But they ate them all. + +"Good job, Anna and Ben," their mom said. "You ate your carrots. You are very brave. Now you can have cake." + +She gave them each a big slice of cake. It looked delicious. It smelled good. It tasted wonderful. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They ate their cake very fast. They licked their forks. They licked their fingers. They licked their plates. + +They were very happy. + +They hugged their mom. "Thank you, mom," they said. "We love you. And we love cake." + +Their mom hugged them back. "I love you, too," she said. "And I'm proud of you. You ate your carrots. That was not easy. But you did it." + +They hugged again. They felt warm and cozy. They had a good dinner. They had a good dessert. They had a good day. +Lily loved books. She had many books in her room. She liked to look at the pictures and hear the stories. Her mom and dad read to her every night. + +One day, Lily went to the library with her mom. She saw a big shelf with many books. She ran to the shelf and picked a book. It had a red cover and a gold star. She opened the book and saw many animals. She liked animals. + +"Mom, look at this book!" Lily said. "It has a lion and a zebra and a giraffe!" + +Her mom came to see the book. She smiled and said, "That is a rare book, Lily. It is very old and special. Not many people have this book. Do you know who wrote this book?" + +Lily looked at the cover. She saw some letters. She tried to read them. She said, "E-S-O-P. Esop?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Yes, Esop. He was a very wise man. He wrote many stories about animals. He taught people important lessons. Do you want to hear some of his stories?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please!" + +Her mom took the book and sat on a chair. Lily sat on her lap. They opened the book and read the stories. Lily learned about the lion and the mouse, the tortoise and the hare, the fox and the grapes, and many more. She liked the stories. She liked the rare book. She liked her mom. She was happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see many rocks on the ground. Some are big, some are small, some are smooth, some are rough. + +Tom picks up a rock. It is round and shiny. He likes it. He says, "Look, Lily, I found a perfect rock. It is so pretty and smooth. Do you want it?" + +Lily looks at the rock. She smiles. She says, "Thank you, Tom. It is a perfect rock. You are very kind. I will keep it forever." + +She gives Tom a hug. Tom is happy. He says, "You are welcome, Lily. You are my best friend." + +They put the rock in Lily's pocket. They hold hands and run to the swings. They have fun in the park. They are happy. +Sara and Ben were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and have fun. One day, they found a big castle in the park. It was made of wood and had many windows and doors. + +"Wow, look at this castle!" Sara said. "Let's go inside and see what's there." + +"OK, but be careful. There might be traps or monsters," Ben said. + +They opened a door and went inside. It was dark and dusty. They saw a lot of old things, like chairs, tables, books, and paintings. They also heard some noises, like squeaks and thumps. + +"What's that?" Sara asked, pointing to a big chest. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and find out," Ben said. + +They lifted the lid and saw a lot of shiny things, like coins, jewels, and crowns. They also saw a furry thing that looked like a mouse. + +"Wow, look at all this treasure!" Sara said. "And look, a mouse!" + +She reached out to touch the mouse, but it moved and showed its teeth. It was not a mouse, it was a rat! + +"Yikes, a rat!" Ben said. "Get away from it!" + +The rat jumped out of the chest and ran towards them. Sara and Ben screamed and ran out of the door. They slammed it shut and leaned against it. + +"That was scary!" Sara said. "Let's not go back there." + +"Agreed," Ben said. "Let's go play somewhere else." + +They ran away from the castle and looked for a safer place to have fun. They decided to poke some bubbles and slide down a hill. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the rat. They were adventurous kids, but they also knew when to be careful. +Sara and Tom like to play with rocks. They have many rocks of different colors and shapes. They want to organize their rocks by the river. They take a big basket and go to the river. + +The river is dark and fast. Sara and Tom are careful not to go too close. They find a flat spot on the grass and put their basket down. They start to organize their rocks by color. They make piles of red rocks, blue rocks, yellow rocks, and so on. + +"Look, Tom, I have more red rocks than you!" Sara says. + +"No, you don't, Sara, I have more blue rocks than you!" Tom says. + +They count their rocks and see who has more. They have fun comparing their rocks and making patterns with them. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud splash. They look up and see a big fish jumping out of the water. The fish is shiny and silver. It makes a funny noise and falls back into the river. + +"Wow, did you see that, Sara?" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, that was amazing!" Sara says. + +They watch the river and hope to see the fish again. They forget about their rocks for a while. They are happy to play by the river. +Tom and Anna like to play in the yard. They see many leaves on the ground. They want to make a big pile of leaves and jump in it. + +They ask their mom for a rake. Mom says, "Okay, you can use the rake, but be careful. It is big and heavy. You have to share it and take turns." + +Tom and Anna say, "Thank you, mom!" They take the rake and go to the yard. Tom tries to rake the leaves, but he is weak. He cannot move the rake very well. He says, "Anna, can you help me? The rake is too hard for me." + +Anna says, "Sure, Tom. I will help you. We can rake the leaves together." She takes the other end of the rake and they pull it together. They make a big pile of leaves. + +They are happy. They drop the rake and run to the pile. They jump in the leaves and laugh. They have fun. Mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of them. They are good at sharing and helping. +Lia and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. They run and jump and laugh. They are strong and happy. + +One day, Ben is sick. He coughs and wheezes. He cannot play outside. He stays in bed. Lia is sad. She misses Ben. + +She goes to see him. She brings him a toy and a card. She knocks on his door. Ben's mom opens it. She smiles at Lia. + +"Hello, Lia. Thank you for coming. Ben is happy to see you. But he cannot talk much. He has a bad lung. He needs to rest and take medicine. Do you understand?" she says. + +Lia nods. She understands. She knows what a lung is. It is a part of the body that helps you breathe. She knows that a bad lung makes it hard to breathe. She feels sorry for Ben. + +She goes to his room. She sees him lying on his bed. He looks pale and tired. He smiles weakly at her. + +"Hi, Lia. I'm glad you're here. I'm sorry I can't play with you. I miss you," he says. + +Lia hugs him gently. She gives him the toy and the card. She tells him she misses him too. She tells him he is strong and brave. She tells him she hopes he gets better soon. + +They talk for a little while. They look at the toy and the card. They tell each other stories. They make each other laugh. + +Lia and Ben are friends. They like to be together. They are strong and happy. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play games on the screen. Sam has a new game. He wants to show Mia. + +"Look, Mia, this game is fun. You have to find the animals and tap them. But be careful, some of them are not real animals. They are jokes!" Sam says. + +Mia is curious. She wants to try the game. She takes the screen from Sam and looks at it. She sees a lion, a monkey, a fish and a banana. + +"Which one is a joke?" Mia asks. + +"Try and see!" Sam says. He smiles. + +Mia taps the lion. The lion roars. Mia jumps. She is nervous. She taps the monkey. The monkey makes a funny sound. Mia laughs. She is not nervous anymore. She taps the fish. The fish swims. Mia smiles. She taps the banana. + +The banana peels itself and says "Hello, I'm a banana!" + +Mia and Sam are surprised. They look at each other. They burst out laughing. They think the banana is a funny joke. They hug and keep playing the game. They are happy. +Tom was a boy who liked to play in the park. He had a red ball that he threw and caught. One day, he saw a girl who had a blue ball. She was sitting on a bench. The bench was brown and had some birds on it. + +Tom wanted to play with the girl and her ball. He walked to the bench and said, "Hi, I am Tom. Can I play with you?" + +The girl looked at Tom and smiled. She said, "Hi, I am Amy. Yes, you can play with me. Do you like my ball?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, I like your ball. It is blue and shiny. Do you like my ball?" + +Amy nodded and said, "Yes, I like your ball. It is red and bouncy. Do you want to share our balls?" + +Tom and Amy agreed to share their balls. They threw and caught them together. They had fun and laughed. They became friends. They were happy they met on the bench. +Lily and Max were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They wanted to make him happy, so they looked for something to give him as a gift. + +"Look, Max, I found a furry glove!" Lily said. She held up a brown glove that was soft and warm. "Maybe the snowman will like it." + +"Good idea, Lily!" Max said. He took the glove and ran to the snowman. He put the glove on one of the snowman's stick arms. "There, now he has a hand!" + +The snowman smiled. He was glad that Lily and Max were his friends. He wanted to thank them, but he could not talk. He had an idea. He used his new hand to wave at them. + +Lily and Max saw the snowman move. They were surprised and happy. They waved back at him. + +"Hello, snowman!" they said. "We are happy too!" + +They hugged the snowman and each other. They played with him until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and promised to come back soon. The snowman was happy. He had a furry glove, a hat, a scarf, a nose, eyes, and two friends. He was not cold or lonely anymore. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw dark clouds in the sky and heard loud noises. They were scared and ran to their mom. + +"Mom, what is that?" Lily asked, pointing at the sky. + +"That is thunder and lightning, my dear. It is a storm. We have to go inside and stay safe," Mom said, holding their hands. + +They went inside and looked out the window. They saw bright flashes of light and heard more loud noises. They hugged Mom and each other. + +"Will the storm go away?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, it will. It will not last long. The sun will come out again soon," Mom said, smiling. + +They waited for the storm to pass. They saw the rain stop and the clouds move away. They saw a rainbow in the sky. They were happy and wanted to go outside again. + +"Can we go outside now, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, you can. But be careful. The ground might be wet and slippery," Mom said. + +They put on their boots and jackets and ran outside. They saw a big puddle in the yard. They jumped in it and splashed each other. They laughed and had fun. + +They saw their dog, Rex, lying under a tree. He was lazy and did not want to play. He only wagged his tail and watched them. + +"Come on, Rex. Come and play with us," Tom said, reaching for him. + +But Rex did not move. He liked to be dry and warm. + +"Maybe later, Tom. I am too lazy now," Rex said, yawning. + +Lily and Tom shrugged and continued to play. They did not mind. They loved Rex anyway. They loved their mom and each other. They loved the sun and the rainbow. They loved the puddle and the splashing. They were happy. +Tim and Mia liked to play in the big field near their house. They ran and jumped and rolled on the green grass. Sometimes they saw cows and sheep and birds. They were happy and humble children who loved nature. + +One day, it was very cold and white outside. Tim and Mia put on their warm coats and boots and hats and gloves. They wanted to see the field covered with snow. They ran outside and saw how pretty everything looked. The snow sparkled like stars and made soft sounds when they stepped on it. + +"Look, Mia, a snowman!" Tim said, pointing to a big pile of snow with a carrot nose and a hat. "Let's go say hello!" + +They ran towards the snowman, but they did not see the ice on the ground. They slipped and slid and fell down. They laughed and got up, but then they heard a voice. + +"Hello, children. I'm Frosty, the snowman. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tim and Mia were surprised and scared. They did not know snowmen could talk. They looked at each other and did not know what to say. + +"Who are you?" Tim asked, trying to be brave. + +"I'm Frosty, the snowman. I'm your friend. I like to play in the snow. Do you want to play with me?" Frosty repeated, smiling. + +Tim and Mia felt curious and friendly. They liked to play in the snow too. They decided to give Frosty a chance. + +"OK, Frosty, we'll play with you. What do you want to do?" Mia asked, smiling back. + +Frosty was happy and excited. He had new friends. He wanted to have fun. + +"Let's play freeze tag. I'll be it. You have to run and hide. If I touch you, you have to freeze and not move. The last one to freeze wins. Are you ready?" Frosty explained, waving his stick arms. + +Tim and Mia nodded and ran away. They looked for places to hide behind trees and rocks and bushes. Frosty chased them and tried to catch them. They had a lot of fun playing freeze tag in the snowy field. They were happy and humble children who loved nature and made a new friend. +Sara liked to look at insects. She had a book with pictures of many insects. She wanted to find some insects in the garden and show them to her mom. She took a jar and a net and went outside. + +She saw a big butterfly with yellow and black wings. She tried to catch it with her net, but it flew away. She saw a red ladybug on a leaf. She tried to pick it up with her fingers, but it crawled away. She saw a green grasshopper on the ground. She tried to trap it with her jar, but it jumped away. Sara felt sad and ashamed. She could not succeed in catching any insects. + +She sat on the grass and cried. She heard a voice near her ear. "Why are you crying?" the voice asked. Sara looked up and saw a small bee hovering in front of her. She was scared and moved away. "Don't be scared. I won't sting you. I just want to talk to you," the bee said. + +Sara was curious and stopped crying. "Why do you want to talk to me?" she asked. "Because I saw you trying to catch insects. Why do you want to catch them?" the bee asked. "Because I like insects. I have a book with pictures of them. I want to see them up close and show them to my mom," Sara said. + +The bee nodded. "I see. But you know, insects don't like to be caught. They like to be free and do their own things. They have families and friends and jobs to do. They are not toys or decorations. They are living beings, like you and me," the bee said. + +Sara thought about what the bee said. She realized that she was wrong to try to catch insects. She felt sorry and ashamed. She said to the bee, "I'm sorry. I didn't know that. I won't try to catch insects anymore. I will just look at them and learn about them from my book. Thank you for talking to me. You are very smart and kind." + +The bee smiled. "You're welcome. I'm glad you understand. You are very brave and honest. I hope you succeed in learning more about insects. They are very interesting and amazing. Maybe someday you can be a friend to them. Goodbye, Sara," the bee said. Then it flew away. + +Sara waved goodbye to the bee. She felt happy and proud. She had learned something new and made a new friend. She ran back to her mom and told her everything. Her mom hugged her and praised her. Sara smiled and said, "I love insects. And I love you, mom." +Ben and Mia went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. Ben liked the lions best, because they were big and loud. Mia liked the monkeys best, because they were funny and smart. + +Then they came to the ostriches. The ostriches were birds, but they could not fly. They had long necks, big eyes, and feathers. One ostrich was very dirty. It had mud and grass on its feathers. It looked sad. + +"Why is that ostrich dirty?" Mia asked Mom. + +Mom said, "Maybe it was playing in the mud, or maybe it had a fight with another ostrich." + +"Can we help it?" Mia asked. + +Mom said, "No, we can't. The zookeepers will take care of it. They will clean it and make it happy." + +Ben said, "I have an idea. Let's hang a picture for the ostrich. Maybe it will like it and feel better." + +Ben and Mia liked to draw and color. They found some paper and crayons. They drew a picture of the ostrich and its friends. They wrote, "We love you, ostrich!" They used many colors. + +They showed the picture to Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad said, "That's very nice of you. Let's go and hang it on the fence." + +They went back to the ostriches. They found the dirty ostrich. They hung the picture on the fence, near its head. They waved and smiled. + +The ostrich looked at the picture. It blinked and tilted its head. It seemed curious. Then it stretched its neck and pecked at the picture. It tore a piece of paper and swallowed it. + +Ben and Mia gasped. Mom and Dad laughed. + +The ostrich looked at them. It made a loud noise. It sounded like, "Thank you!" + +Ben and Mia clapped. They said, "You're welcome, ostrich!" + +They felt happy. They had made a new friend. +Lily was a friendly baby. She liked to smile and play with her toys. She had a big brother, Tom, who loved her very much. He liked to read her stories and make her laugh. + +One day, Tom found a big pumpkin in the garden. He wanted to make a funny face on it for Halloween. He asked Lily if she wanted to help him. Lily nodded and clapped her hands. + +Tom and Lily took the pumpkin to the porch. Tom cut a hole on the top and scooped out the seeds. He gave some to Lily to play with. Then he carved two eyes, a nose and a mouth on the pumpkin. He put a candle inside and lit it. The pumpkin looked like a friendly lantern. + +"Look, Lily, it's a jack-o-lantern!" Tom said. "Do you like it?" + +Lily smiled and hugged the pumpkin. She liked it very much. She said, "Pretty!" + +Tom and Lily left the pumpkin on the porch. They went inside to have dinner. They forgot about the pumpkin. + +The next day, Tom and Lily went to the porch to see the pumpkin. But the pumpkin did not look friendly anymore. It looked sad and sick. It had brown spots and holes on it. It smelled bad. + +"Yuck, what happened to the pumpkin?" Tom asked. + +Lily wrinkled her nose and said, "Ew, it rots!" + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for the pumpkin. They decided to throw it away and get a new one. They learned that pumpkins do not last long. They need to be kept cool and dry. They also learned that rotting is a word that means something is old and bad. They did not like rotting. They liked fresh and good. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a quiz book in the library. The quiz book has many questions and pictures. + +"Let's play quiz," Lily says. "I will ask you questions and you will answer." + +"OK," Sam says. "But I don't know many things." + +"That's OK. I will help you," Lily says. She opens the quiz book and points to a picture. "What is this?" + +Sam looks at the picture. It is a big animal with a long nose and big ears. "It is an elephant," Sam says. + +"Good job," Lily says. "You are smart. Now it is your turn. You ask me a question." + +Sam turns the page and sees another picture. It is a small animal with a fluffy tail and a black mask. "What is this?" Sam asks. + +Lily thinks hard. She does not know the name of the animal. She has never seen it before. "I don't know," Lily says. + +Sam smiles. He knows the name of the animal. He learned it from a TV show. "It is a raccoon," Sam says. + +"Wow, you are smarter than me," Lily says. "How do you know that?" + +"I watched a show about animals. It was very loud and fun," Sam says. + +"Can I watch it with you?" Lily asks. + +"Sure," Sam says. "I will offer you some popcorn too. It is my favorite snack." + +"Thank you," Lily says. "You are a good friend." + +They hug and put the quiz book back. Then they go to Sam's house to watch the show and eat popcorn. They are happy. +Mira and Ravi liked to play in the temple. The temple was a big house with many rooms and statues. Some of the statues were shiny, like gold or silver. Mira and Ravi liked to touch them and pretend they were kings and queens. + +One day, they found a new statue in a dark room. It was a statue of a woman with a lot of arms and a big smile. She had a shiny jewel on her forehead. Mira and Ravi wanted to see it better, so they tried to turn on the light. But the light did not work. + +"Maybe the jewel can shine for us," Mira said. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jewel. But the statue was too high and she could not touch it. + +"Be careful, Mira," Ravi said. "You might fall." + +"I want to see the jewel," Mira said. She was persistent. She did not give up. She stretched her arm more and more. + +Suddenly, the chair wobbled and Mira lost her balance. She screamed and fell to the floor. Ravi ran to her and hugged her. + +"Are you okay, Mira?" he asked. + +Mira was scared and hurt. She had a bump on her head and a tear on her dress. She cried and said, "I'm sorry, Ravi. I was silly. I should have listened to you." + +Ravi kissed her cheek and said, "It's okay, Mira. I'm sorry too. I should have helped you. Come on, let's go to the nurse. She will make you feel better." + +They held hands and walked out of the room. As they left, they saw a flash of light from the statue. The jewel shone brightly and smiled at them. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big table in their room where they could build, draw and pretend. But sometimes they did not share well and fought over the toys. + +One day, Lily wanted to play with the train set, but Ben was already using it. She tried to grab it from him, but he pushed her away. + +"No, this is mine! Go away!" he shouted. + +Lily was angry and sad. She ran to their mom and told her what happened. + +"Mom, Ben is not nice! He does not allow me to play with the train!" she cried. + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That is not fair. Why don't you ask him nicely if you can play together?" + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She went back to the table and said to Ben, "Ben, can I please play with the train too? We can take turns or make a big track." + +Ben looked at Lily and saw that she was sorry. He felt a little bad for being mean. He said, "Okay, Lily. You can play with the train too. But you have to be careful and not break it." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. I will be careful and not break it. And I will share my toys with you too." + +They hugged and started to play with the train. They had fun and forgot about their fight. Mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of them for being kind and sharing. She gave them each a cookie as a treat. But the cookies were bitter and they did not like them. They made funny faces and spit them out. + +"Yuck! These cookies are bad!" they said. + +Mom laughed and said, "Oops! I think I used the wrong sugar. I'm sorry, kids. How about some milk instead?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and drank their milk. They liked the milk and it made them happy. They said, "We love you, Mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben." +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their dog, Rex. They liked to run and jump and throw a ball for Rex to catch. Rex was big and strong and loved to play with them. + +One day, a mean boy came to the park. He had a stick and he tried to hit Rex with it. Rex barked and ran away from him. The mean boy chased Rex and said, "I will hurt you, you bad dog!" + +Ben and Lily saw the mean boy and they were scared. They ran to Rex and hugged him. They said, "No, don't hurt Rex! He is our friend! He is good!" + +The mean boy laughed and said, "He is not good, he is dead! Look at his lip, it is black and ugly! He is sick and old and he will die soon!" + +Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They said, "That is not true! Rex is not dead, he is alive! His lip is black because he is a special dog. He is not sick, he is healthy! He will not die, he will live long and happy!" + +The mean boy did not listen. He raised his stick and tried to hit Rex again. But Rex was faster and smarter. He jumped and bit the mean boy's hand. The mean boy dropped his stick and cried. He ran away from the park. + +Ben and Lily cheered and clapped. They said, "Good job, Rex! You are brave and smart! You protected us and yourself! We love you, Rex!" + +Rex wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy and proud. He loved Ben and Lily too. They were his family. They went home together, smiling and laughing. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretend to drive them on the floor and make noises. + +One day, Tom has a new idea. He says to Sam, "Let's count our cars. We can see who has more. We can also make licenses for them. Licenses are cards that say who owns the cars. We can draw them with crayons." + +Sam thinks this is a fun game. He says, "OK, let's do it. I will count my cars first. You can count yours next. Then we can make licenses." + +Tom agrees. He watches as Sam counts his cars. Sam has ten cars. He puts them in a line and points at them. He says, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I have ten cars. Now you count yours, Tom." + +Tom counts his cars. He has nine cars. He puts them in a line and points at them. He says, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. I have nine cars. You have more cars than me, Sam." + +Sam smiles. He says, "That's OK, Tom. We can share our cars. Now let's make licenses. We can use this paper and these crayons. We can write our names and draw our cars. We can make them wide or narrow, as we like." + +Tom nods. He says, "That sounds good, Sam. Let's make licenses. Then we can play with our cars again. We can pretend to go to different places. We can have fun with our cars and our licenses." +It was a cold day. Lily and Tom were outside in the snow. They made a snowman and threw snowballs at each other. They had fun, but they also felt very cold. They shivered and their noses turned red. + +"Let's go inside, Lily," Tom said. "It's time for hot cocoa and cookies." + +"Okay, Tom," Lily said. "But can we say goodbye to our snowman first?" + +They ran to their snowman and gave him a hug. They put a scarf around his neck and a hat on his head. They hoped he would not melt. + +"Bye, snowman," they said. "We will see you tomorrow." + +They walked to their house. Their mom was waiting for them at the door. She smiled and opened her arms. + +"Come here, my little snowflakes," she said. "You must be freezing. Let me warm you up." + +She hugged them and kissed them. She took them inside and gave them hot cocoa and cookies. They felt cozy and happy. They forgot about the harsh cold outside. They thanked their mom and told her about their snowman. She listened and laughed. She loved them very much. +Tim and Ben are best friends. They like to play together and help each other. They are loyal to each other. One day, they decide to perform a show for their moms. They dress up as superheroes and make a big sign that says "The Super Friends". + +They go to the backyard and start their show. They pretend to fly, fight bad guys, and save the world. They make funny noises and faces. Their moms watch and clap. They are very proud of their boys. + +But then, Tim trips on a rock and falls down. He hurts his knee and starts to cry. Ben runs to him and hugs him. He says, "Don't cry, Tim. I'm here for you. You are my super friend. You have a big brain and a big heart. You are brave and smart. You will be okay." + +Tim stops crying and smiles. He says, "Thank you, Ben. You are my super friend too. You have a big brain and a big heart. You are kind and strong. You make me happy." + +They hug again and get up. They finish their show with a big bow. Their moms cheer and hug them too. They say, "You are amazing, boys. You are loyal to each other. You have big brains and big hearts. You are our super friends." +Lila and Tom were playing in the park with their mother. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. They saw a big sack on the grass. It was brown and soft and had something inside. + +"What is in the sack?" Lila asked. + +"Let's find out!" Tom said. + +They ran to the sack and opened it. They saw many balls of different colors. They were shiny and round and bounced high. + +"Wow! Balls!" Lila and Tom shouted. + +They took out the balls and started to play with them. They threw them and caught them and rolled them and kicked them. They had so much fun. + +But then the sky became dark and the wind became strong. It was cold and they felt their noses and ears and fingers. They shivered and hugged each other. + +"Mother, we are cold!" Lila and Tom said. + +Mother heard them and came to them. She smiled and said, "It's time to go home, my loves. You can take the balls with you. They are a gift from the park. Someone left them here for you to enjoy." + +She helped them put the balls back in the sack and carried it for them. She wrapped them in her warm coat and kissed their cheeks. They walked home together, happy and cozy. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but they do not play with all of them. Some toys are old and broken. Some toys are too babyish for them. + +One day, their mom says, "We have too many toys. We need to sell some of them. We can go to the park and have a toy sale. You can keep some money and give some money to the poor kids." + +Lila and Ben agree. They pick the toys they want to sell and put them in a big box. They also pick the toys they want to keep and put them in a small box. They write "Toy Sale" on a sign and stick it on the box. + +They go to the park with their mom. It is a mild day. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. Many people come to see their toys. Some people buy their toys and give them money. Lila and Ben are happy. + +But then, a little girl comes and picks up Lila's favorite doll. She says, "I want this doll. How much is it?" + +Lila feels sad. She does not want to sell her doll. She says, "No, you can't have it. It is mine. It is not for sale. It is in the wrong box. It is in the keep box, not the sell box." + +The little girl starts to cry. She says, "But I like it. It is so pretty. Please, can I have it?" + +Lila thinks for a moment. She remembers that she has many toys and the little girl has none. She remembers that she wants to help the poor kids. She decides to be kind. She says, "Okay, you can have it. But you have to promise to take good care of it. It is a special doll. It was a gift from my grandma." + +The little girl smiles. She says, "Thank you, thank you. I promise. I will love it and hug it and name it Lila." + +Lila gives her the doll and the money. She feels a little sad, but also happy. She says, "Bye, doll. Have a good stay with your new friend." + +She hugs Ben and says, "Let's go home. We still have many toys to play with. And we did a good thing today. We sold some toys and helped some kids." + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, we did. You are a good sister, Lila. And I am a good brother. We are a good team." + +They hold hands and walk home with their mom. They are proud of themselves. They are happy. +Tom and Lily 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 watch it sail. They pretend they are pirates and look for treasure. + +One day, they find a long stick and a piece of cloth. They have an idea. They want to make a bigger sail for their boat. They think it will make the boat go faster and farther. + +They use the stick and the cloth to measure the size of the sail. They cut the cloth with scissors and tie it to the stick. They are very careful not to hurt themselves. They are proud of their work. + +They put the new sail on their boat and put it in the water again. They are excited to see what happens. They blow on the sail and the boat moves. It moves very fast and lively. It makes big waves and splashes. + +"Wow, look at our boat!" Tom says. + +"It's amazing!" Lily says. + +They clap and cheer. They have fun with their boat and their new sail. They are happy pirates. +Lily liked to go to the library with her mom. She loved to look at the books with many colors and pictures. She could find books about animals, cars, princesses, and more. Sometimes, she would ask her mom to read her a book out loud. + +One day, they went to the library and saw a big sign. It said "Story Time". Lily's mom told her that it was a special time when a lady would read a funny book to the children. Lily wanted to join. She followed her mom to a corner where there were many chairs and a big rug. She saw other children sitting on the rug. She found a spot and sat down. + +The lady came and said hello to the children. She had a big book in her hands. She opened it and showed them the cover. It had a picture of a monkey wearing a hat. The lady said the book was called "The Silly Monkey". She started to read. + +The book was very funny. The monkey did many silly things, like trying to ride a bike, eating a banana peel, and making faces at the zookeeper. The children laughed and laughed. Lily laughed the most. She thought the monkey was very funny. She liked his hat. + +When the lady finished the book, she asked the children if they liked it. They all said yes. She said they did a good job listening and being quiet. She gave them each a sticker. Lily got a sticker with a monkey on it. She was very proud. She showed it to her mom and said, "Look, mom, I got a monkey sticker. I like the silly monkey book. It made me laugh." Her mom smiled and said, "I'm proud of you, Lily. You listened well and had fun. Do you want to borrow the book and take it home?" Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. I want to read it again and again." They went to the desk and borrowed the book. Lily hugged the book and said, "Thank you, library. Thank you, lady. Thank you, mom." She was very happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their big house. They had many toys and books and games, but they always wanted more. They thought they had luxury, but they were not happy. + +One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It had a bow and a tag that said "For Lily and Ben, from Grandma and Grandpa". They ran to the box and tore it open. Inside, they found a big, fluffy, white dog. It had a collar that said "Snowy". + +"Wow, a dog!" Lily said. "We always wanted a dog!" + +"Let me pet him!" Ben said. "He is so soft and cute!" + +They both reached for the dog, but they pulled him in different directions. Snowy yelped and tried to get away. Lily and Ben did not listen. They started to fight over the dog. + +"Mine!" Lily shouted. + +"No, mine!" Ben shouted. + +They pulled harder and harder, until Snowy bit Ben's hand. Ben screamed and let go of the dog. Snowy ran away and hid under the sofa. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They saw that they had hurt the dog and each other. They felt bad and sorry. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"Ow, that hurt, Lily," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was crazy. I should have shared the dog with you," Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, too, Lily. I was crazy, too. I should have been nice to the dog and to you," Ben said. + +They hugged and said they were sorry. Then they went to the sofa and called Snowy. Snowy came out and wagged his tail. He licked their faces and snuggled with them. + +Lily and Ben smiled and petted Snowy. They thanked Grandma and Grandpa for the dog. They decided to share him and take good care of him. They learned that luxury is not having many things, but having love and kindness. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play near the lake. They had a big box of toys that they shared. One day, they found a new toy in the box. It was a shiny boat that could float on the water. + +"Wow, look at this boat!" Lily said. "Can I play with it first?" + +"OK, but only for a little bit," Ben said. "Then it's my turn." + +Lily took the boat and ran to the lake. She put the boat on the water and watched it sail. She was very happy. + +Ben waited and waited for Lily to come back. He looked at the other toys, but he did not want to play with them. He wanted to play with the boat. + +"Lily, can I have a turn now?" Ben called. + +"No, not yet," Lily said. "I'm having fun with the boat. Go play with something else." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He thought Lily was selfish. She did not want to share the boat. He walked to the lake and saw Lily still playing with the boat. + +"Lily, please give me the boat," Ben said. "We are supposed to share. It's not fair." + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "I found it first. Go away!" + +Ben was very upset. He reached for the boat, but Lily pulled it away. They both tugged on the boat, but it was too hard. The boat broke in half and fell into the water. + +They both gasped and stared at the broken boat. They felt sorry and ashamed. They had ruined the new toy. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lily said. "I was selfish. I should have let you play with the boat." + +"I'm sorry, too, Lily," Ben said. "I should have been more patient. I should have asked you nicely." + +They hugged and said they were still friends. They decided to play with the other toys and share them. They learned a lesson about being kind and fair. +Lia and Ben are fish who live in the reef. The reef is their home. It has many colors and shapes. Lia and Ben like to swim and play with their friends. + +One day, Lia and Ben see a big boat on the water. The boat makes a loud noise. It scares the fish. Lia and Ben swim away from the boat. They find a cave in the reef. They hide in the cave. + +"What is that?" Lia asks Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "It is not a fish. It is not a shark. It is not a whale. It is something else." + +"Maybe it is a monster," Lia says. She is afraid. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He is brave. He says, "I want to see it. Maybe it is not a monster. Maybe it is something nice. Maybe it has food or toys for us." + +Lia thinks too. She is curious. She says, "OK, let's go see it. But we have to be careful. And we have to stay together." + +Lia and Ben swim out of the cave. They look at the boat. It is still on the water. It is still making noise. But it is also light. It has many windows and lights. It looks pretty. + +Lia and Ben swim closer to the boat. They see people on the boat. The people are not fish. They are not sharks. They are not whales. They are something else. They have legs and arms and hair and clothes. They talk and laugh and sing. + +Lia and Ben are surprised. They say, "Wow, they are not monsters. They are like us. They have fun. They are happy." + +Lia and Ben smile. They swim around the boat. They see more things. They see a net and a hook and a rod. They see a bucket and a can and a bottle. They see a ball and a doll and a book. + +Lia and Ben are excited. They say, "Look, they have food and toys for us. Let's take some. They won't mind." + +Lia and Ben swim to the net. They see some fish in the net. The fish are not happy. They are trapped. They are scared. + +Lia and Ben are sad. They say, "Oh no, they are not nice. They hurt the fish. They take them away from the reef. They are mean." + +Lia and Ben swim away from the net. They swim away from the boat. They swim back to the cave. They are safe in the cave. + +They say, "We don't like the boat. We don't like the people. We like the reef. We like the fish. The reef is our home. The fish are our friends." + +Lia and Ben hug each other. They are happy. They are glad. They are fish who live in the reef. +Lily loved her brother Max. He was brilliant. He could do many things that Lily could not. He could read books, draw pictures, and play games. But Max could not talk. He used his hands to sign what he wanted to say. + +One day, Lily and Max went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily wanted to go on the slide, but Max wanted to go on the swing. He signed to Lily, "Swing, please." + +Lily shook her head. "No, Max. Slide, please." She pointed to the slide. + +Max frowned. He signed, "No, Lily. Swing, please." He pointed to the swing. + +They could not agree. They started to cry. Their mom came over and hugged them. She said, "Don't cry, my loves. You can both have fun. How about you take turns? Lily, you go on the slide first, then Max. Max, you go on the swing first, then Lily. OK?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They wiped their tears. They said, "OK, mom." They smiled at each other. They signed, "I love you, brother. I love you, sister." They held hands and ran to the slide and the swing. They had a brilliant time. +Lily liked to whistle. She learned how to whistle from her dad, who whistled every morning when he made breakfast. Lily whistled when she played with her toys, when she brushed her teeth, and when she walked to the park with her mom. + +One day, Lily saw a bird on a branch. The bird was brown and small, and it looked sad. The sky was gloomy and gray, and there was no sun. Lily wanted to cheer up the bird, so she whistled a happy tune. She whistled loud and clear, and hoped the bird would hear her. + +The bird heard Lily's whistle, and looked at her. The bird was curious, and wondered who was whistling. The bird saw Lily's smile, and felt a little better. The bird decided to whistle back, and joined Lily's tune. The bird whistled soft and sweet, and thanked Lily for her kindness. + +Lily and the bird whistled together for a while, and made a new song. They made each other happy, and forgot about the gloomy sky. Lily's mom watched them, and smiled too. She said to Lily, "You have a beautiful whistle, and a beautiful heart. You made a new friend today, and that is wonderful." + +Lily hugged her mom, and waved to the bird. The bird waved back, and flew away. Lily said, "Bye bye, bird. I hope to see you again. You have a beautiful whistle, too." Lily and her mom walked home, whistling all the way. +Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books.

Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to chase it before it went too far. + +One time, the ball went over the fence and into the street. Anna and Ben ran to the fence and looked for the ball. They saw a big car coming fast. The car hit the ball and made a loud noise. The ball flew up in the air and landed on the roof of a house. + +"Oh no!" Anna shouted. "Our ball is gone!" + +Ben shouted too. "How will we get it back?" + +They were very sad and scared. They did not know what to do. + +A man came out of the house. He saw the ball on his roof and the children by the fence. He was not angry. He was kind. + +"Hello, little ones," he said. "Did you lose your ball?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They felt shy. + +The man smiled. "Don't worry. I have a ladder. I can get your ball for you. But first, do you want to see something unusual?" + +Anna and Ben were curious. They liked to see new things. + +"What is it?" they asked. + +The man took them to his garage. He showed them a big machine with a screen. He said it was an x-ray. He said it could show what was inside things. + +"Like bones?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, like bones. And other things too. Do you want to try it?" + +Anna and Ben agreed. They thought it would be fun. + +The man put their ball on the machine. He pressed a button. The screen showed a picture of the ball. But it was not just a ball. It had something inside. + +"What is that?" Ben asked. + +The man looked surprised. He said it was a ring. A shiny ring with a stone. + +"A ring?" Anna repeated. + +"Yes, a ring. Someone must have hidden it inside the ball. Maybe it was a gift. Or a secret. Or a mistake. I don't know. But it is very unusual." + +Anna and Ben were amazed. They had never seen a ring like that. They wondered who it belonged to. And why it was in their ball. + +The man gave them the ball and the ring. He said they could keep them. He said they were lucky. + +Anna and Ben thanked him. They were very happy. They had their ball back. And they had a new treasure. + +They ran back to the park. They showed their friends the ball and the ring. They told them the story of the x-ray and the unusual thing inside. + +Everyone was surprised. Everyone wanted to see the ring.

They never forgot the day they found something unusual in their ball. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play with their toys in Lily's room. They have many toys: dolls, cars, blocks, books and more. But sometimes they make a big mess and Lily's mom gets angry. + +One day, Lily's mom says: "Lily and Ben, you have to organize your toys. Put them in the boxes and on the shelves. If you don't, you can't play anymore." + +Lily and Ben do not like to organize. They think it is boring. They want to play more. They have a funny idea. They decide to organize their toys in a silly way. They put the dolls in the car box, the cars in the doll box, the blocks in the book shelf and the books on the floor. They mix up all the colors and shapes. They giggle and laugh. + +They finish organizing and call Lily's mom. "Mom, we are done! Come and see!" they say. + +Lily's mom comes to the room. She sees the toys all mixed up. She is surprised and confused. She looks at Lily and Ben with a big eye. She does not know what to say. + +Lily and Ben smile and say: "Mom, we organized our toys in a funny way. Do you like it?" + +Lily's mom thinks for a moment. She sees that Lily and Ben had fun and used their imagination. She decides to play along. She says: "Yes, I like it. It is very funny and creative. But next time, can you also organize them in a normal way?" + +Lily and Ben nod and hug Lily's mom. They are happy. They say: "OK, mom. We will. But can we play a little more now?" + +Lily's mom says: "Yes, you can. But only for a little while. Then you have to clean up and get ready for dinner." + +Lily and Ben say: "Thank you, mom. You are the best!" + +They play with their funny toys and have more fun. They are good friends. +Tim was excited to go to the factory with his dad. He had never seen how cars were made before. He put on his hat and coat and got in the car with his dad. + +"Are you ready, Tim?" his dad asked. + +"Yes, dad, I am ready!" Tim said. + +They drove for a long time and then they saw a big building with a lot of smoke. That was the factory. They parked the car and walked to the entrance.

She did not know any of the other kids. She wanted to make friends, but she was shy. + +She wore her favorite dress and a bow in her hair. She hoped the other kids would like her.

"Maybe they are performing a show!" + +They run to the stage and find a seat. They see a man with a funny hat and a big purse.

She had many papers and crayons and stickers. She made pictures of flowers and animals and houses. She gave them to her mom and dad and they smiled. + +One day, Lily wanted to design something new. She saw her mom's lip gloss on the table. It was shiny and pink. Lily thought it would look nice on her paper. She took the lip gloss and opened it. She drew a big circle on her paper with it. It was sticky and wet. + +"Look, mom, I made a sun!" Lily said, holding up her paper. + +"Oh, Lily, what did you do?" her mom said, looking troubled. She saw the lip gloss on the table and on Lily's hands. "That's not for paper, that's for your lips. You made a mess." + +Lily felt sad. She did not mean to make a mess. She wanted to make something pretty. She put down her paper and looked at her mom. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to design a sun. Can I still design things?" she asked. + +"Of course, you can, sweetie. But you have to use the right things. Lip gloss is for your lips, not for paper. Crayons and stickers are for paper. Do you understand?" her mom said, wiping Lily's hands with a tissue. + +Lily nodded. She understood. She gave her mom a hug and a kiss. She said sorry again. + +"It's okay, Lily. I love you and I love your designs. But next time, ask me before you use something that's not yours. Okay?" her mom said, smiling. + +"Okay, mom. I love you too. Can I have a crayon, please?"

The mule was old and slow, but very kind and gentle. He let Ben and Lily sit on his back and walk around the field. + +One day, a fierce dog came to the farm. He barked and growled and chased the chickens and the cows. He ran towards the mule and tried to bite his legs. The mule was scared and hurt. He kicked the dog away and ran to the barn. Ben and Lily followed him and saw that he had a big cut on his leg. They felt sorry for the mule and wanted to help him. + +"Grandpa, grandpa, the mule is hurt!" they cried. "A bad dog bit him!" + +Grandpa came to the barn and saw the mule. He took a cloth and some water and cleaned the cut. He put some cream and a bandage on it. He gave the mule some hay and some water and stroked his head. + +"Don't worry, mule, you'll be fine," he said. "I'll restore you to health. You're a brave and good mule. I'll keep the dog away from you." + +The mule looked at grandpa and nodded. He felt better and safer. He licked grandpa's hand and nuzzled Ben and Lily. They hugged the mule and thanked grandpa. + +They stayed with the mule until he fell asleep. They hoped he would heal soon and be happy again. They loved the mule very much. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to zoom them on the grass and make loud noises. "Vroom, vroom, I'm the fastest car in the world!" Ben said. "No, I'm the fastest, you're too slow!" Lila said. + +They saw a pigeon on the path. It was gray and white and had shiny eyes. "Look, a bird!" Lila said. "Let's zoom our cars near it and see what it does!" Ben said. They ran to the pigeon with their cars and zoomed them close to it. The pigeon did not move. It did not fly away. It did not make any sound. + +Lila and Ben were puzzled. They stopped their cars and looked at the pigeon. They touched it with their fingers. It was hard and cold. It was not a real pigeon. It was a fake pigeon. Someone had put it there to trick them. + +"Hey, this is not a bird, this is a toy!" Lila said. "Who did this?" Ben said. They looked around and saw a man with a camera. He was laughing. He had taken a picture of them and the fake pigeon. He thought it was funny. + +Lila and Ben did not think it was funny. They felt angry and sad. They did not like to be tricked. They picked up their cars and ran away from the man and the fake pigeon. They found their mom and dad and told them what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were sorry. They said they would find a real pigeon for them to see. They said they loved them. Lila and Ben felt better. They zoomed their cars again and smiled. +Lily and Ben like to play in the park. They see many things in nature. They see green trees, red flowers, blue sky and yellow sun. They hear birds sing, dogs bark and bees buzz. They smell grass, dirt and fresh air. + +One day, they find a big box in the park. They open the box and see many things inside. They see paper, crayons, scissors, glue and stickers. They are happy. They want to make something with the things in the box. + +"What do you want to make, Lily?" Ben asks. + +"I want to make a butterfly, Ben. Butterflies are pretty and fly in the air. What do you want to make, Ben?" Lily answers. + +"I want to make a car, Lily. Cars are fast and go on the road. Let's make them together, Lily."

Lily says. + +They thank the box for the things inside. They say the box is a good supply. They put their butterfly and car in the box. They close the box and leave it in the park. They hope someone else will find the box and make something too. + +They hold hands and walk away. They are happy. They had fun in the park. They love nature and each other. The sky is clear and the sun is bright. They smile. +Anna and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +But then Ben took Anna's red block. Anna wanted the red block for her house. She said, "No, Ben, that is my block. Give it back." + +Ben said, "No, Anna, I need it for my car. It is mine now." + +Anna and Ben started to argue. They both wanted the red block. They did not want to share. They did not listen to each other. They made a lot of noise. + +Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw Anna and Ben fighting over the red block. She saw the blocks scattered on the floor. She saw their angry faces. + +Mom frowned. She did not like to see them fight. She said, "Anna and Ben, stop it. You are not being nice to each other. You have to share your blocks. You have to follow the order. The order is: play nicely, clean up, and say sorry." + +Anna and Ben stopped fighting. They looked at Mom. They knew she was right. They felt sorry for being mean. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Anna. Sorry, Ben." + +Mom smiled. She said, "That's better. Now, why don't you work together and build something with all your blocks? You can make something amazing." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They liked that idea. They put the red block in the middle. They added more blocks of different colors and shapes. They made a big castle with a car in front. They were happy. + +They showed Mom their castle. Mom was proud of them. She said, "Wow, that is a wonderful castle. You did a great job. You are very creative." + +Anna and Ben hugged Mom. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +Mom hugged them back. She said, "I love you too. You are my sweet kids." + +Then they heard a sound. It was raining outside. They looked out the window. They saw the wet grass and the wet flowers and the wet birds. + +Anna and Ben said, "Look, Mom, it is raining. Can we go outside and play in the rain?" + +Mom said, "Sure, why not? But first, put on your boots and your coats. You don't want to get wet and cold." + +Anna and Ben ran to get their boots and their coats. They were excited to play in the rain. They said, "Yay, rain, rain, rain!" + +Mom laughed. She said, "Have fun, but be careful. And don't forget to come back when I call you." + +Anna and Ben said, "Okay, Mom. We will. Bye, Mom." + +They went outside and played in the rain. They splashed in the puddles. They chased the raindrops. They sang and danced. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They race them on the floor and make loud noises. Sometimes, their cars break or lose a wheel. Then, they go to their dad, who can repair them. + +Dad is very good at fixing things. He has a box of tools and parts. He is reliable. He always helps Anna and Ben when they need him. He takes the broken car and looks at it. He finds the problem and uses his tools to fix it. He gives the car back to Anna or Ben and says, "Here you go. Good as new." + +One day, Anna and Ben are playing with their cars when Ben's car stops working. He tries to push it, but it does not move. He looks at it and sees that the tip of the battery is missing. He is sad. He says, "Oh no, my car is broken. I need a new battery." + +Anna says, "Don't worry, Ben. Dad can repair it. He has many batteries in his box. Let's go and ask him." + +They run to their dad, who is in the kitchen. They show him the broken car and the missing tip. Dad smiles and says, "No problem, Ben. I can repair it. I have a spare tip in my box. Wait here, I'll be right back." + +He goes to his box and finds a tip that fits the battery. He comes back and puts the tip on the battery. He puts the battery in the car and turns it on. The car makes a noise and starts to move. Ben is happy. He says, "Thank you, Dad. You are the best. You can repair anything." + +Dad hugs Ben and says, "You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you like your car. Now, go and play with Anna. And be careful with your cars. They are not toys, they are treasures." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with colors. They have many crayons and papers. They draw animals and flowers and houses. + +One day, Ben falls down and hurts his knee. It is red and bleeding. He cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Anna runs to him and hugs him. She says, "Don't cry, Ben. I will help you." + +Anna gets a band-aid from her mom. She puts it on Ben's knee. She says, "This will heal your knee. It will make it better." Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend." + +Anna and Ben go back to play with colors. But they are careful not to fall down again. They draw a picture of themselves with band-aids and smiles. They write, "We are friends. We help each other." They show it to their mom. She says, "That is a beautiful picture. You are very kind and brave." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hug each other and say, "We are friends. We help each other." They play with colors until it is time to go home. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big ball that bounced high. They always shared the ball and took turns to throw it and catch it. + +One day, a new boy moved in next door. His name was Sam and he had no toys. He saw Lily and Ben playing with the ball and asked if he could join them. Lily and Ben said yes and welcomed him to the garden. They gave him the ball and showed him how to bounce it. + +But Sam did not want to share the ball. He kept it for himself and ran away from Lily and Ben. He said the ball was his now and he would not give it back. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They asked Sam to be nice and share the ball, but he did not listen. + +Lily and Ben decided to separate from Sam. They said they did not want to play with him anymore. They went to the other side of the garden and found some flowers and rocks to play with. They made a necklace for Lily and a castle for Ben. They had fun and forgot about the ball. + +Sam saw Lily and Ben having fun without him. He felt lonely and bored. He realized he had been mean and selfish. He wanted to be friends with Lily and Ben. He took the ball and walked to them. He said he was sorry and asked if they could play together again. He said he would share the ball and take turns. + +Lily and Ben were surprised and happy. They said they forgave Sam and invited him to join their games. They thanked him for being kind and generous. They said they were grateful for his friendship. They gave him a flower and a rock as a gift. They played with the ball and the other toys. They laughed and smiled. They became good friends. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a man with a big bag and a hat. He is putting letters in the boxes of the houses. + +"What is he doing?" Lily asks Tom. + +"He has a job. He is a letter-man. He brings letters to people," Tom says. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She has never seen a letter-man before. She wonders what the letters say. + +"Can we see the letters?" she asks Tom. + +"No, we can't. The letters are not for us. They are for the people in the houses. The letter-man knows who they are for. We don't," Tom says. + +Lily feels curious. She wants to know more about the letter-man and his job. She decides to follow him. + +"Come on, Tom. Let's go see the letter-man," she says. + +Tom is not sure. He thinks it is not polite to follow the letter-man. He thinks the letter-man might not like it. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe we should stay here. The letter-man might get angry," he says. + +But Lily does not listen. She runs after the letter-man. Tom follows her. + +They follow the letter-man to the next street. They see him put more letters in more boxes. They see him smile and wave to some people. They see him whistle a song. + +Lily thinks the letter-man is nice. She thinks his job is fun. She wants to talk to him. + +"Hello, letter-man. What are you doing?" she says. + +The letter-man turns around. He sees Lily and Tom. He is surprised. + +"Hello, little ones. I'm doing my job. I'm delivering letters. Do you like letters?" he says. + +Lily nods. She likes letters. She likes to draw them and to learn them. + +"I like letters. I can write my name. It is L-I-L-Y. Lily," she says. + +The letter-man smiles. He thinks Lily is smart. He thinks Tom is shy. + +"That's very good, Lily. You are a clever girl. And what is your name, young man?" he says to Tom. + +Tom is quiet. He does not know what to say. He thinks the letter-man is unknown. He thinks he might be in trouble. + +"My name is Tom. T-O-M. Tom," he says in a low voice. + +The letter-man nods. He thinks Tom is polite. He thinks he might be scared. + +"That's nice, Tom. You are a good boy. Don't be afraid. I'm not angry. I'm happy to see you," he says. + +He reaches into his bag. He takes out two letters. He gives one to Lily and one to Tom. + +"These are for you. They are from me. They are letters of friendship. You can open them and read them. They have nice words and pictures. They are a gift," he says. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They thank the letter-man. They open the letters. They see their names and hearts and stars. They see the words "You are my friends. I like you. Have a nice day. Love, the letter-man." + +They smile. They think the letter-man is kind. They think his job is wonderful. They think they have made a new friend. +Anna and Ben like to play in the sand. They have a spade and a bucket. They dig and build and have fun. + +One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and brown and has sharp teeth. The dog looks fierce. Anna and Ben are scared. + +The dog runs to them and barks. He wants to play with them. He sniffs their spade and bucket. He tries to grab them with his mouth. + +"Go away, dog!" Anna says. "You are not nice. You are fierce. You will break our spade and bucket." + +But the dog does not listen. He jumps on Anna and Ben. He is heavy. He weighs a lot. He makes them fall down. He licks their faces. + +"Help, help!" Anna and Ben cry. "We do not like this dog. He is too fierce. He weighs too much. He hurts us." + +Their mom hears them. She comes to the sand. She sees the dog. She knows the dog. His name is Rex. He is her friend's dog. He is not fierce. He is friendly. He just wants to play. + +"Rex, Rex, stop!" she says. "You are scaring Anna and Ben. They do not know you. You are too big and strong for them. You have to be gentle." + +She takes Rex by his collar. She pulls him away from Anna and Ben. She pets him and talks to him. She makes him calm down. + +"Anna, Ben, are you OK?" she asks. "I am sorry. Rex did not mean to hurt you. He is a good dog. He just got excited. Do you want to pet him?" + +Anna and Ben look at Rex. He wags his tail. He looks sorry. He looks cute. + +"OK, mom," they say. "We will pet him. But only if he is nice. And only if he does not weigh on us." +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big animal with a long neck and a horn on its head. It was a unicorn! + +"Wow, look at the unicorn!" Sara said. "Can we go and say hello?" + +Tom nodded. They ran to the unicorn and smiled. The unicorn was gentle and friendly. It let them touch its horn and its mane. + +"Can we tie a ribbon on your horn?" Sara asked. She had a pink ribbon in her pocket. + +The unicorn nodded. It liked ribbons. Sara took the ribbon and tied it on the unicorn's horn. It made a pretty bow. + +"Thank you, unicorn!" Tom said.

"You are very kind." + +Sara and Tom hugged the unicorn. They were happy. They had made a new friend. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She would put on a big hat, a long dress, and a shiny necklace. She would look at herself in the mirror and pretend she was a princess. + +One day, she found a hanger in the closet. It was metal and had a hook on top. Lily thought it looked like a wand. She waved it around and said, "Abracadabra! I am the most charming princess in the world!" + +She saw her teddy bear on the bed. She decided to make him her prince. She put a scarf around his neck and a hat on his head. She said, "Hello, Prince Teddy. You are very handsome. Do you want to dance with me?" + +She took his paw and spun him around. She sang a song she made up. She said, "You are my prince, and I am your princess. We are happy and we love each other. We are the best couple ever!" + +She stopped dancing and gave him a big kiss on the nose. She said, "I love you, Prince Teddy. You are my favorite toy. Thank you for being my friend." + +She hugged him and put him back on the bed. She took off the hat, the scarf, and the necklace. She hung the dress and the hanger back in the closet. She said, "Bye, Mom's clothes. Thank you for letting me play with you." + +She ran downstairs to find her mom. She said, "Mom, I had so much fun playing dress-up. I was a charming princess and Teddy was my prince. We danced and kissed and sang. Can I do it again tomorrow?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. You can play dress-up anytime you want. You are my charming princess and I love you very much." + +She gave her mom a big kiss and a hug. She said, "I love you too, Mom. You are the best mom ever." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big pile of ash near the fence. It was from the fire that their dad had made to burn some cheap wood. + +"Let's play with the ash!" Lily said. "We can make shapes and draw with it." + +"OK!" Ben said. "But we have to prepare first. We need to get some water and a bucket and some sticks." + +They ran to the shed and found what they needed. They filled the bucket with water from the tap and carried it to the ash pile. They used the sticks to scoop some ash and mix it with water in the bucket. They made a thick, gray paste. + +"Now we can make anything we want!" Lily said. She used her hands to shape the paste into a ball. "Look, I made a moon!" + +Ben smiled and made a star. They put their shapes on the grass and made more. They had fun making animals, flowers, and letters. + +They were so busy that they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. She came out to the garden and saw their ash creations. + +"What are you doing, my little artists?" she asked. + +"We are playing with the ash!" Lily and Ben said. "We made a moon and a star and a lot of other things!" + +Mom looked at their dirty hands and faces and laughed. "You are very creative, but you are also very messy. Come on, let's go inside and wash up. Then we can have some sandwiches and juice." + +Lily and Ben nodded and followed their mom. They were happy and proud of their ash art. They hoped that the wind would not blow it away. +Anna and Ben like to decorate their room. They have many things to make it pretty. They have paper, glue, scissors, stickers, and crayons. They also have a wire that Mom gave them. + +"Let's make a fancy garland with the wire," Anna says. "We can cut out shapes from the paper and stick them on the wire." + +"OK," Ben says. "I will cut out stars and hearts. What will you cut out?" + +"I will cut out flowers and butterflies," Anna says. "They are my favorite." + +They work hard and have fun. They cut out many shapes and stick them on the wire. They make a long and colorful garland. + +"Wow, it looks so fancy," Ben says. "Where should we hang it?" + +"Let's hang it on the wall above our bed," Anna says. "It will make our room more cozy and happy." + +They ask Mom to help them hang the garland. Mom smiles and says they did a great job. She gives them a hug and a kiss. + +Anna and Ben are proud of their garland. They like to decorate their room. They have many things to make it pretty. +Lily liked to play with her model cars. She had many cars of different colors and sizes. She liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. But her favorite car was the red one. It was shiny and fast and had a loud horn. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring her red car with her. She put it in her pocket and ran to the door. But her mom stopped her and said, "No, Lily, you have to leave your car here. You might lose it or break it at the store. It's better to remain here, safe and sound." + +Lily did not like that. She wanted to have her car with her all the time. She said, "But mom, I love my red car. It's my best car. Please, can I take it with me? Please, please, please?" + +Her mom shook her head and said, "Sorry, Lily, but no. You have many other toys to play with at the store. And you can play with your red car when we come back. I promise. Now, let's go. We don't want to be late." + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not want to leave her car behind. She thought her mom was mean and unfair. She took her car out of her pocket and threw it on the floor. She said, "Fine, I don't want my red car anymore. It's a bad car. It can stay here alone. I don't care." + +Her mom sighed and picked up the car. She said, "Lily, that's not nice. Your car is not bad. It's a beautiful model car. And it's not alone. It has your other cars to keep it company. And it will be happy to see you when you come back. Don't you want to make your car happy?" + +Lily looked at her mom and then at her car. She saw that it was still shiny and fast and had a loud horn. She felt sorry for throwing it. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to make my car happy. I'm sorry I was mean to it. Can I say sorry to it and give it a hug?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, you can, Lily. That's very sweet of you. Here, take your car and say sorry and give it a hug. And then we can go to the store and have some fun." + +Lily took her car and said, "Sorry, red car. I love you. You're my best car. I'll be back soon. Don't worry." She gave it a hug and put it on the shelf with her other cars. She said, "Bye, cars. Have fun. See you later." She waved to them and then ran to the door. She said, "OK, mom, I'm ready. Let's go to the store." + +Her mom took her hand and said, "Good girl, Lily. I'm proud of you. Let's go to the store and see what we can find." They walked out of the door and closed it behind them. The red car remained on the shelf, smiling and waiting for Lily to come back. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, Tom invites Mia to his house. He has a new toy car that he wants to show her. + +"Look, Mia, this is my car. It can go fast and make noise. Do you want to play with it?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, please, Tom. Your car is very nice. Can I drive it?" Mia says. + +Tom nods and gives Mia the car. They take turns driving it on the floor. They have fun. + +But then, something bad happens. The car stops moving. Tom tries to make it go, but it does not work. He looks at the car and sees a wire sticking out. + +"Oh no, the wire is broken. The car needs the wire to go. How can we fix it?" Tom says. + +Mia thinks for a moment. She remembers that her dad has a tool box. Maybe he has something to fix the wire. + +"Tom, don't be sad. Maybe my dad can help us. He has tools and he knows how to fix things. Let's go to my house and ask him," Mia says. + +Tom likes Mia's idea. He is frustrated that his car is broken, but he is happy that Mia is his friend. He picks up the car and follows Mia to her house. He hopes that her dad can fix the wire and make the car go again. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She also painted her nation. Her nation was a big place with many people and houses and roads. She painted it with red and blue and white. + +One day, her teacher came to see her paintings. She looked at them and smiled. She said, "Lily, you are a good painter. You have a lot of imagination. I like your paintings of flowers and trees and animals. They are very pretty. But what is this painting of your nation?" + +Lily said, "This is my nation. It is where I live. It is a good place. I love my nation." + +The teacher said, "I see. But why did you paint it with red and blue and white? Those are not the colors of your nation. Your nation has green and yellow and black." + +Lily said, "I know. But I like red and blue and white. They are my favorite colors. And I think they make my nation look happy and strong and free." + +The teacher said, "Oh, I understand. You are very creative. You can paint your nation however you want. It is your expression. But you should also learn the real colors of your nation. They are part of your history and culture and identity. They are also beautiful and meaningful." + +Lily said, "OK. I will learn the real colors of my nation. But I will also keep painting with red and blue and white. Because they make me glad. And I want to share my gladness with others." + +The teacher said, "That is very nice of you, Lily. You are a kind and generous painter. You make me glad too. And I am sure you make your nation glad as well." +Tim and Mia like to play pirates. They have a big box that is their ship. They put on hats and scarves and swords. They say "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" and pretend to sail on the sea. + +One day, they find a map in the box. It has a big X on it. "This is a treasure map!" Tim says. "Let's follow it and find the treasure!" Mia agrees. They take the map and leave the box. + +They follow the map around the house. They go up the stairs, down the hall, and into the bathroom. The map says the treasure is under the sink. They open the cupboard and see a shiny box. "We found it!" Mia says. "Let's open it!" + +They open the box and see a lot of shiny things. There are necklaces and rings and bracelets and earrings. They are all different colors and shapes. "Wow, this is the best treasure ever!" Tim says. "We are rich pirates!" + +They try on some of the shiny things. They look at themselves in the mirror. They laugh and smile. They are very happy. Then they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is coming to the bathroom. "Oh no, we have to hide!" Tim says. "She will be mad if she sees us with her jewelry!" + +They quickly put the shiny things back in the box. They close the cupboard. They hide behind the shower curtain. They hope Mom will not see them. They are very quiet. + +Mom comes into the bathroom. She looks around. She sees the box under the sink. She opens it. She sees the shiny things. She sees the map. She smiles. She knows what Tim and Mia have been doing. She is not mad. She thinks they are very cute. + +She calls their names. "Tim, Mia, where are you?" She pretends she does not know. Tim and Mia peek from behind the curtain. They see Mom. They are scared. They think she will be angry. They come out slowly. They say "Sorry, Mom, we were playing pirates. We did not mean to take your treasure." + +Mom hugs them. She says "It's okay, my little pirates. I'm not angry. I'm glad you had fun. But you have to ask me before you use my things. And you have to be tidy. You have to put everything back where it belongs." + +Tim and Mia nod. They say "Okay, Mom, we will. We are sorry. We love you." Mom says "I love you too, my little pirates. You are very sweet. And very brave. And very clever. You deserve a reward." She gives them each a kiss on the cheek. They smile. They say "Thank you, Mom. You are the best." They give her a kiss back. They are very happy. They are the best pirates ever. +Lily was a dog who liked to visit her friends. She had a red collar with a bell that made a nice sound when she ran. One day, she went to the park to see her friend Max, a big brown dog who liked to play fetch. + +"Hi, Max!" Lily barked. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Max wagged his tail and ran to get his ball. He threw it with his mouth and Lily chased after it. They had a lot of fun together, running and jumping and rolling on the grass. + +But then, a new dog came to the park. He was a small black dog with a blue collar and a mean look. He did not like Lily's bell. He thought it was too loud and annoying. + +"Hey, you!" he growled at Lily. "Stop making that noise with your collar! You are rude and silly!" + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not want to be rude or silly. She liked her collar and her bell. She did not know why the new dog was so mean to her. + +"Leave her alone!" Max barked. "She is not rude or silly. She is my friend and she is nice and fun. You are the rude one!" + +The new dog snarled and snapped at Max. He wanted to fight. But Max was bigger and stronger. He stood in front of Lily and protected her. He barked loudly and made the new dog run away. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Max asked. + +"Yes, thank you, Max," Lily said. "You are a good friend. I'm sorry the new dog was so mean to you." + +"It's okay, Lily," Max said. "He was just a bad dog. He did not know how to be nice. Come on, let's play some more." + +Lily smiled and nodded. She was happy to have Max as her friend. She did not care what the new dog said. She liked her collar and her bell. She liked to visit her friends and have fun. She was a good dog. +Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they are bored. They want to do something new and fun. + +"Let's go outside and play with the ball," Ben suggests. He likes to run and kick the ball. + +"No, it is too cold and wet outside," Lily says. She does not like to be cold and wet. "Let's play with the table instead." + +"The table? What can we do with the table?" Ben asks. He does not understand. + +Lily has an idea. She drags a big blanket from the sofa and puts it over the table. She makes a tent with the blanket and the table. She crawls under the tent and invites Ben to join her. + +"Look, we have a secret fort now," Lily says. "We can pretend we are spies or explorers or pirates. It is safe and cozy here." + +Ben thinks that sounds fun. He crawls under the tent with Lily. They have many adventures in their secret fort. They forget about the ball and the cold and the wet. They are happy and have fun. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toys on the rug in the living room. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars and animals. They had a lot of fun together. + +But sometimes, their big sister Lily was very nosy. She liked to come and see what they were doing and ask them questions. She thought she knew everything and she wanted to tell them what to do. + +One day, Lily came into the living room and saw Ben and Mia on the rug. She said, "What are you playing? Can I join you?" + +Ben and Mia looked at each other. They did not want Lily to play with them. They wanted to play by themselves. They had a plan. + +Mia said, "We are playing a guessing game. You can play if you want, but you have to guess what we are saying. We are using a secret language that only we know." + +Lily said, "A secret language? That sounds silly. How can you have a secret language? I bet I can guess what you are saying. I am very smart." + +Ben said, "Okay, then. Guess what I am saying. Flim flam floo." + +Lily frowned. She had no idea what Ben was saying. She said, "Flim flam floo? That is not a word. That is just nonsense. You are making it up." + +Mia said, "No, it is a word. It means something very important. But you have to guess what it means. If you guess wrong, you have to go away and leave us alone." + +Lily said, "Fine. I will guess. Flim flam floo means... um... it means... a big red ball." + +Ben and Mia laughed. They said, "No, no, no. You are wrong. Flim flam floo does not mean a big red ball. It means... we don't want you to play with us. You are too nosy. Go away." + +Lily was angry. She said, "That is not fair. That is not a secret language. That is just mean. You are mean. I don't want to play with you anyway. You are boring." + +She stomped away and left Ben and Mia alone. They smiled at each other and hugged. They said, "Flim flam floo. We love you." They went back to playing with their toys on the rug. They were happy. +Lila and Sam were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big yellow ball that they could kick and throw and catch. One day, they saw a taxi near the park. It was also yellow, like their ball. + +"Look, a taxi!" Sam said. "Can we go in it?" + +Lila shook her head. "No, we have to stay here. Mom said so." + +But Sam was curious. He ran to the taxi and opened the door. He saw a lot of buttons and a wheel and a meter. He wanted to touch them. + +"Sam, come back!" Lila called. "That's not our taxi!" + +But Sam did not listen. He climbed into the driver's seat and pushed a button. The taxi started to move. It went forward and backward and sideways. It bumped into a tree and a bench and a trash can. It made a lot of noise and smoke. + +"Help!" Sam cried. "I don't know how to stop!" + +Lila was scared. She did not know what to do. She saw a man in a blue uniform running to the taxi. He had a badge and a hat and a whistle. He was a police officer. + +"Stop that taxi!" he shouted. He blew his whistle and waved his arms. + +He reached the taxi and opened the door. He pulled Sam out of the seat and turned off the engine. He looked at Sam with a stern face. + +"What were you doing, young man?" he asked. "Do you know how dangerous that was?" + +Sam was sorry. He hung his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I just wanted to see the taxi. I like yellow things." + +The police officer sighed. He looked at Lila, who was crying. He said, "You must be his sister. You are very clever to stay in the park. You should always watch your brother. He could have hurt himself or someone else." + +Lila nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, too, sir. I tried to stop him, but he was too fast." + +The police officer smiled. He said, "It's okay. I'm glad you are both safe. But you should never play with a taxi. It's not a toy. It's a car that takes people to places. Only the driver can drive it. Do you understand?" + +Sam and Lila nodded. They said, "Yes, sir. We understand." + +The police officer took them back to the park. He found their mom, who was looking for them. He told her what happened. She was very angry and scared. She hugged them and said, "Thank you, officer. I'm so sorry for the trouble. I don't know how they got away from me." + +She scolded Sam and Lila. She said, "You two are very naughty. You could have been hurt or lost. You have to listen to me and stay in the park. You can't go in a taxi without me. Do you promise?" + +Sam and Lila promised. They said, "We promise, mom. We're sorry. We love you." + +Mom said, "I love you, too. But you have to be careful and good. Now, let's go home. No more taxis for you." + +Sam and Lila said, "Okay, mom. No more taxis." + +They held their mom's hand and walked home. They still liked yellow things, but they did not like taxis anymore. They liked their big yellow ball better. They could spin it and kick it and throw it and catch it. And it did not make noise or smoke or trouble. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together in their bedroom. They have many toys and books and games. But sometimes they also fight and make noise. + +One day, Mom is very serious. She has a lot of work to do on her computer. She tells Lily and Ben to be quiet and not to bother her. She says she will come to check on them later. + +Lily and Ben nod and go to their bedroom. They start to play with their blocks and cars. But soon they get bored and want to do something else. They look at each other and have an idea. + +They decide to walk to the kitchen and get some cookies. They think Mom will not notice. They sneak out of their bedroom and tiptoe down the hall. They are very careful and quiet. + +But they do not see that Mom is watching them from her office. She sees them walk to the kitchen and open the cookie jar. She is not happy. She gets up and follows them. + +She says in a loud voice, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? You are not supposed to walk to the kitchen and take cookies. You are supposed to stay in your bedroom and play quietly. You did not listen to me. You are in trouble." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They drop the cookies and run back to their bedroom. They say they are sorry and they will not do it again. They hug each other and cry. + +Mom comes to their bedroom and sees them. She is still serious, but also sad. She says, "Lily and Ben, I love you, but you have to follow the rules. You have to respect me and my work. You have to be good and quiet. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod and say they understand. They say they love Mom too. They ask for a hug and a kiss. Mom hugs and kisses them and says, "It's okay. I forgive you. But no more cookies for today. You can have some fruit instead. And then you can play in your bedroom, but only with soft toys and books. No more blocks and cars. They make too much noise. Deal?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Deal." They smile and thank Mom. They take some fruit and go to their bedroom. They play with their soft toys and books. They are quiet and good. They do not walk to the kitchen again. They wait for Mom to finish her work and come to play with them. They are happy. +Tom and Mia like to play with their toy planes. They pretend to be pilots and fly to different places. Sometimes they make loud noises and act like they are in trouble. + +One day, they are playing in the living room when their mom comes in. She says, "It's time to quit, kids. We have to go to the store and get some food." + +"But mom, we are not done yet!" Tom says. "We have to land our planes and be safe." + +Mia nods and says, "Yes, mom. We are good pilots and we follow the rules." + +Mom smiles and says, "I know you are, but you can play again later. Now, please put away your planes and get your shoes on." + +Tom and Mia sigh and do what mom says. They love to play with their toy planes, but they also love mom and want to help her. They hope they can fly again soon. +Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in the forest. They had a big pine tree that they called their friend. They would hug the pine tree, talk to it and make a house with its branches. + +One day, a big storm came and made a lot of noise and wind. Tim and Lily were scared and ran to their house. They looked out the window and saw the storm break many trees and flowers. They hoped their pine tree friend was okay. + +When the storm was over, they ran to the forest to see their pine tree friend. But they saw something very sad. The storm had broken their pine tree friend in half. The top part was on the ground and the bottom part was still standing. The pine tree friend looked helpless and hurt. + +Tim and Lily cried and hugged the pine tree friend. They said, "We are sorry, pine tree friend. We love you and care for you. You are our best friend in the forest. How can we help you?" + +The pine tree friend did not say anything, but they felt it was happy to see them. They heard a bird sing on the broken branch. They saw a squirrel run up the trunk. They saw a flower grow near the roots. They realized that their pine tree friend was still alive and had other friends in the forest. + +They smiled and said, "Pine tree friend, you are not alone. You have many friends who care for you. We will come and visit you every day and play with you. You are still our best friend in the forest." +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play at the park. There is a big slide at the park. Ben and Lily want to go on the slide. + +They run to the slide and take turns. Ben goes first. He sits on the slide and says, "One, two, three, go!" He slides down fast and laughs. He likes the slide. + +Lily goes next. She sits on the slide and says, "Zero, one, two, go!" She slides down faster and laughs louder. She likes the slide more. + +Ben and Lily do it again and again. They have fun on the slide. They count before they go. Ben counts from one to three. Lily counts from zero to two. + +"Why do you say zero?" Ben asks Lily. + +"Because zero is a smart number," Lily says. "It means nothing. But it can also mean everything. It can make other numbers bigger or smaller. It is a magic number." + +Ben thinks about it. He does not understand. He says, "I like one better. It means one. It is easy." + +Lily smiles. She says, "That's okay. You can like one. I can like zero. We can still be friends. And we can still slide together." + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, we can. Let's slide again." + +They slide again. They count their own way. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna and Ben like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises and pretend to drive them on the floor. + +One day, Anna has a new car. It is red and shiny and has a button. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look at my new car! It is very nice. Do you want to try it?" + +Ben nods and takes the car. He presses the button and the car makes a loud sound. It sounds like a real car. Ben is happy and smiles. He says, "Wow, your car is loud! It is fun!" + +Anna says, "Yes, it is loud. But you have to be careful. Do not press the button too much. It can hurt your ears and make Mommy and Daddy angry." + +Ben says, "Okay, I will not press it too much. Thank you for letting me play with your car. It is very cool." + +Anna says, "You are welcome. You are my friend. I like to share with you. Do you want to play with my other cars too?" + +Ben says, "Yes, I do. I have some cars too. We can play together. I recommend we take turns. You can choose first." + +Anna says, "Okay, I choose this one. It is blue and can turn very fast. It is my favorite. Which one do you choose?" + +Ben looks at the cars and picks one. It is yellow and has big wheels. He says, "I choose this one. It can go over bumps and rocks. It is very strong. Let's play!" + +Anna and Ben play with their cars. They make noises and pretend to drive them on the floor. They take turns and share. They have a lot of fun. They are good friends. +Anna was a gifted girl who loved to draw and paint. She had many colors and papers to make beautiful pictures. She liked to share her pictures with her friends and family. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She climbed up the stairs and looked down. The slide was very high and long. Anna felt scared. + +"Come on, Anna, you can do it!" her mom said. "It's fun and safe. I'll catch you at the bottom." + +But Anna refused to go down the slide. She shook her head and said, "No, no, no. Too high, too scary. I don't want to slide." + +Her dad came up and said, "It's okay, Anna. You don't have to slide if you don't want to. How about we go to the swings instead?" + +Anna nodded and smiled. She liked the swings. They were not scary. They were fun and gentle. She followed her dad to the swings and sat on one. Her dad pushed her and she felt the wind in her hair. + +She looked around and saw a boy sitting on the grass. He had no toys and no friends. He looked sad and lonely. Anna felt sorry for him. + +She asked her dad, "Who is that boy? Why is he alone?" + +Her dad said, "I don't know, Anna. Maybe he is new here. Maybe he has no one to play with." + +Anna thought for a moment. She had an idea. She said, "Dad, can I give him one of my pictures? Maybe he will like it. Maybe he will be my friend." + +Her dad said, "That's very kind of you, Anna. Sure, you can give him one of your pictures. Which one do you want to give him?" + +Anna looked at her bag and picked out a picture. It was a picture of a rainbow and a sun and a land with flowers and trees. It was one of her best pictures. She was proud of it. + +She got off the swing and walked to the boy. She said, "Hi, I'm Anna. What's your name?" + +The boy looked up and said, "I'm Ben. I just moved here. I don't know anyone." + +Anna said, "I live here. I know many people. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I do. I like friends." + +Anna said, "I have a gift for you. It's a picture I made. Do you like it?" + +Ben said, "Wow, it's beautiful. You are very gifted. You can draw and paint very well. Thank you, Anna. You are very nice." + +Anna said, "You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you like it. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I do. What do you want to play?" + +Anna said, "Let's go to the slide. It's fun and safe. I'll show you how to do it." + +Ben said, "Okay, let's go. I trust you, Anna. You are my friend." + +Anna and Ben held hands and ran to the slide. They climbed up the stairs and looked down. The slide was very high and long. But they were not scared. They were brave and happy. They slid down together and laughed. They had fun. They made a new friend. +Anna loved to admire her grandma. Grandma was very old, but she was also very graceful. She always wore pretty dresses and shiny necklaces. She had soft white hair and kind blue eyes. Anna wanted to be like her when she grew up. + +One day, Anna went to visit grandma at her house. Grandma was happy to see her and gave her a big hug. She said, "Hello, my sweet Anna. Do you want to have some tea with me?" Anna nodded eagerly. She liked tea, especially with honey and milk. + +Grandma took Anna to the living room, where she had a small table with a tea set. She poured some tea for both of them and added honey and milk. She gave Anna a small cup and a saucer. She said, "Be careful, Anna. The tea is hot. Hold the cup with both hands and sip slowly." + +Anna did as grandma said. She felt very grown-up and special. She tried to copy grandma's graceful movements and manners. She said, "Thank you, grandma. This tea is very yummy. You are very nice to me." + +Grandma smiled and stroked Anna's hair. She said, "You are very welcome, Anna. You are very polite and sweet. I love you very much. You make me very happy." + +Anna smiled back and hugged grandma. She said, "I love you too, grandma. You are the best grandma in the world. You make me very happy too." +Tommy and Lily are in school. They like to learn new things and play with their friends. Their teacher is Miss Lee. She is good and kind. + +Today, Miss Lee teaches them how to write their names on the blackboard. She shows them how to hold the chalk and make the letters. Tommy and Lily try to copy her. They are happy when they see their names on the blackboard. + +"Good job, Tommy and Lily!" Miss Lee says. "You are very smart and brave. Do you want to show your names to the class?" + +"Yes, please!" Tommy and Lily say. They are proud of their work. They walk to the front of the room and point to their names on the blackboard. The other children clap and cheer for them. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Tommy and Lily say. They smile and bow. They feel good. + +After school, Tommy and Lily go home with their mom. She hugs them and says, "I heard you wrote your names on the blackboard today. That's amazing! I'm so proud of you!" + +"Thank you, mom!" Tommy and Lily say. They tell her how much they enjoyed school and how nice Miss Lee is. + +"Let's go and bathe now," mom says. "You must be tired and dirty from all the fun you had. Bathing will make you feel fresh and clean." + +"Okay, mom!" Tommy and Lily say. They run to the bathroom and fill the tub with water and bubbles. They splash and play with their toys. They wash their hair and body with soap and shampoo. They sing and laugh. + +Mom comes to the bathroom and says, "Wow, you are having a lot of fun! But it's time to get out now. You don't want to get wrinkly like a prune, do you?" + +"No, mom!" Tommy and Lily say. They get out of the tub and dry themselves with towels. Mom helps them put on their pajamas and brushes their teeth. + +"Good night, Tommy and Lily," mom says. "I love you very much. Have sweet dreams." + +"Good night, mom," Tommy and Lily say. "We love you too. Thank you for everything." + +They hug and kiss mom and go to their beds. They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of school and blackboards and friends. They are happy and good. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. Mom said she had some sausages in the fridge. She asked them to help her cook them. + +"Can I cut the sausages, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily, that is not safe. You can use this spoon to stir them in the pan," Mom said. + +"Can I add some salt, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, Ben, but not too much. You can sprinkle a little bit on the sausages," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben helped Mom cook the sausages. They smelled good. They heard them sizzle in the pan. They saw them turn brown and juicy. + +"Are they ready, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, they are ready. Let's put them on a plate and share them," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben each took a sausage and bit into it. They tasted good. They smiled at each other and at Mom. + +"Thank you, Mom. These are the best sausages ever," Ben said. + +"You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you like them," Mom said. + +They ate the sausages and felt happy and full. They heard the birds sing outside the window. They felt the sun shine on their faces. They felt peaceful and loved. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a pet dog named Max. Max was very old and his bed was broken. Lily was sad because Max didn't have a good bed to sleep on. + +One day, Lily's mommy decided to replace Max's old bed with a new one. Lily was so happy and hugged her mommy. Max was also happy and jumped on his new bed. + +A few days later, Lily and Max received a letter in the mail. It was from Lily's grandma who lived far away.
