It hurts." + +Dr. Lee nodded and said, "I see. Well, let me take a look. It's just a small scrape. Nothing to worry about. I'll clean it and put some cream on it. It will feel much better soon. Can you be brave for me?" + +Lily nodded and let Dr. Lee examine her knee. He was gentle and kind. He wiped her knee with a wet cloth and then applied some cream.

You can have a sticker and a lollipop for being so good." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Dr. Lee. You're a nice doctor. You don't have a big needle." + +Dr. Lee laughed and said, "No, I don't.

Can I count them some more?" + +Her mom says, "No, Lily. You have to get out of the shower now. You can count something else later. How about you count the stars tonight?

But can I count to ten one more time?" + +Her mom says, "Okay, Lily. You can count to ten one more time. But then you have to turn off the water and dry yourself with a towel. And put on your pajamas. And brush your teeth. And go to bed." + +Lily says, "Okay, mom. I will do all that. But first, I will count to ten. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I did it! I counted to ten again!" + +Her mom says, "Good job, Lily. You are a smart girl. And a good counter. Now, let's go and see the stars." +Lily was sick. She had a fever and a cough.

He gave her a big hug and said, "Thanks, mum. I feel better now." + +His mum smiled and said, "It's okay to worry, but don't forget to have fun too!" + +And so, feeling much better, Jack went off to enjoy his day. +Once upon a time there was a Mom and Dad and their little three-year-old daughter.

It always barked and growled at them. + +One day, the dog found a hole in the fence. It ran out and chased Lily and Tom. They were scared and ran away. But the dog was faster and caught up with them. It jumped on Lily and bit her leg. Lily cried and fell down. + +"Help! Help!" she shouted. Tom saw what happened and ran to her. He picked up a stick and hit the dog. The dog yelped and let go of Lily. It ran back to the fence. + +Tom helped Lily get up. He saw blood on her leg. He was worried and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay?" he asked. + +"It hurts, Tom. It hurts a lot." Lily said. + +Tom knelt down and wrapped his shirt around her leg. He tried to stop the blood. + +"Come on, Lily. We have to go home. We have to tell Mom and Dad. They will help you." he said. + +They walked slowly to the gate. They saw a man running after them. It was the dog's owner. He was angry and shouted at them. + +"Hey, you kids! What did you do to my dog? You are in big trouble!" he said. + +Tom and Lily were scared and confused. They did not do anything wrong. The dog was the bad one. They did not want to talk to the man. They wanted to go home. + +They ran past the man and out of the park. They hoped the man would not follow them. They hoped Lily's leg would be okay. They hoped the dog would stay away from them. They learned to be careful of ugly dogs. +Tim and Mia like to play in the backyard. They have many toys and games, but today they want to do something new. They see a big box and some sticks and stones. They have an idea. + +"Let's build a grill!" Tim says. "We can pretend to cook food and have a picnic." + +"OK!" Mia agrees. "But we need some paper and crayons too. We can make food out of paper and color it." + +They get some paper and crayons from the house and start to cut and draw. They make hamburgers, hot dogs, corn, and salad. They also make plates and cups. + +They put the box on the ground and turn it over. They use the sticks and stones to make a fire under the box. They cut a hole in the box and put the paper food on top. They have made a grill! + +"Now we can cook our food!" Mia says. "But we have to be careful. The fire is hot." + +They take turns to flip the paper food with a spatula. They pretend to smell and taste the food. They say "yum" and "delicious". + +They set up a blanket on the grass and put the plates and cups on it. They take the food from the grill and put it on the plates. They sit down and pretend to eat. + +They have a lot of fun. They talk and laugh and share their food. They are happy. + +They hear a voice from the house. It is Mom. + +"Tim, Mia, lunch is ready!" Mom says. "Come inside and wash your hands." + +They look at each other and smile. They are not hungry, but they are polite. + +"OK, Mom!" they say. "We are coming!" + +They leave their grill and their picnic on the backyard. They run to the house and wash their hands. They are proud of their grill. They will play with it again later. They are good builders. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They had a big drum that made loud noises when they hit it. They liked to make music with the drum and sing along. + +"Let's bury the drum!" Tom said. "It will be a secret treasure for us to find later." + +"Okay!" Mia agreed. "But where should we bury it?" + +They looked around the garden and saw a spot under a big tree. They dug a hole with their hands and put the drum inside. Then they covered it with dirt and leaves. + +"There!" Tom said. "Now no one will know where our drum is. We can come back and dig it up when we want to play again." + +They ran back to the house, feeling happy and clever. They did not see the squirrel that was watching them from the tree. The squirrel was curious and hungry. It thought the drum might be something interesting to eat. It waited until Tom and Mia were gone, then climbed down the tree and started to dig up the drum. +Sara and Ben love to play music. They have a drum, a flute, a guitar and a bell. They like to make different sounds and rhythms with their instruments. Sometimes they play fast, sometimes they play slow, sometimes they play loud, sometimes they play soft. + +One day, they decide to play music for their mom and dad. They set up their instruments in the living room and ask their mom and dad to sit on the couch. They say, "We are going to play a show for you. You have to pay us with hugs and kisses." + +Mom and dad smile and nod. They are happy to see Sara and Ben having fun. Sara and Ben start to play their music. They try to make a good rhythm that matches. They look at each other and smile. They are having fun too. + +But then, something happens. Ben hits his drum too hard and it makes a huge noise. It is so loud that it scares Sara and she drops her flute. The flute breaks and makes a sad sound. Sara and Ben stop playing. They look at their broken flute and their drum. They feel sad and sorry. + +Mom and dad get up from the couch and go to Sara and Ben. They hug them and kiss them. They say, "It's okay. You don't have to pay us with hugs and kisses. We love you anyway. You played a great show for us. We are proud of you. Accidents happen. We can fix your flute and your drum. Don't worry." + +Sara and Ben feel better. They hug and kiss their mom and dad back. They say, "Thank you. We love you too. You are the best audience. We are sorry for the noise. We will play better next time." + +Mom and dad say, "You're welcome. We love your noise. You are the best musicians. We can't wait for your next show." They all laugh and cuddle on the couch. They are happy. +Tom and Sue like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the maze. The maze is a big box with many holes and paths. They can put balls and cars and animals inside the maze and see where they go. + +One day, Tom and Sue are playing with the maze. Tom has a red ball and Sue has a blue ball. They want to see which ball can get out of the maze first. They count to three and put their balls in the maze. + +"Go, go, go!" Tom says. + +"Come on, come on, come on!" Sue says. + +They watch their balls roll and bounce and turn in the maze. They cheer and clap and laugh. But then, something happens. Tom's ball gets stuck in a hole. It cannot move. Tom is sad. + +"Ha, ha, ha! My ball wins!" Sue says. + +She takes her ball out of the maze and holds it up. She is happy. + +"That's not fair!" Tom says. + +He tries to get his ball out of the hole, but he cannot. He is mad. + +"Yes, it is fair! My ball is faster and smarter than your ball!" Sue says. + +She sticks her tongue out at Tom. She is mean. + +Tom feels like crying. He does not like Sue. He does not want to play with her anymore. He lays down on the floor and turns away from her. He is quiet. + +Sue sees Tom laying on the floor. She feels bad. She knows she was mean to Tom. She knows she should be honest and nice to him. She is sorry. + +"Tom, I'm sorry," Sue says. + +She puts her ball back in the maze and goes to Tom. She touches his shoulder and looks at his face. He is sad. + +"I'm sorry I was mean to you. I'm sorry I lied to you. Your ball is not slow or dumb. It was just unlucky. It could have won, too," Sue says. + +She gives Tom a hug and a kiss. She is sweet. + +Tom looks at Sue. He sees her smile and hears her words. He feels better. He knows she is honest and nice to him. He is glad. + +"Thank you, Sue," Tom says. + +He gives Sue a hug and a kiss. He is sweet, too. + +They get up and go back to the maze. They decide to play together and help each other. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily loved penguins. She had a big toy penguin that she hugged every night. She wanted to see real penguins at the zoo. One day, her mom said they could go to the zoo and see the penguins. Lily was very happy. + +They got to the zoo and walked to the penguin house. Lily saw a sign that said "Penguins are sleeping. Please be quiet." She was excited to see the penguins, but she also wanted to make them happy. She whispered to her mom, "Can we go inside and see them?" + +Her mom nodded and they went inside. It was dark and cold. Lily saw some shapes on the rocks. They were the penguins. They looked so cute and fluffy. Lily wanted to touch them. She let go of her mom's hand and walked closer to the penguins. + +One of the penguins opened its eyes and saw Lily. It was scared and angry. It made a loud noise and flapped its wings. It bit Lily's finger. Lily screamed and ran back to her mom. Her finger was bleeding and it hurt a lot. She cried and cried. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You should not have touched the penguin. It was sleeping and it did not like it. You scared it and it scared you. You need to be careful and respectful of the animals. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, penguin. I regret touching you. I just wanted to be your friend. I love penguins." Her mom smiled and said, "I know, Lily. I love you. Let's go and get a band-aid for your finger. Maybe we can come back another day and see the penguins again. But this time, we will only look and not touch. OK?" + +Lily said, "OK, mom. Thank you." They left the penguin house. It was empty and quiet. The penguin that bit Lily looked at them and felt a little sorry too. It did not mean to hurt Lily. It just wanted to sleep. It hoped Lily would be OK. It closed its eyes and went back to sleep. +Lily and Max were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they wanted something new. They saw the door to the attic. They had never been there before. + +"Let's go up the stair and see what is there," Max said. + +"OK, but we have to be quiet. Mom and Dad don't like us to go there," Lily said. + +They opened the door and climbed the stair. It was dark and dusty. They saw boxes and bags and old things. They looked around and found some hats and clothes and books. + +"Look, I found a pirate hat!" Max said. He put it on his head and said, "Arrr, matey!" + +"Look, I found a princess dress!" Lily said. She put it on and said, "I am the queen of the attic!" + +They played pretend for a while. They had fun. But then they heard a noise. It was Mom and Dad. They were coming up the stair. + +"Oh no, we have to hide!" Lily said. + +"Quick, choose a place!" Max said. + +They looked around. They saw a big box. They jumped inside. They closed the lid. They hoped Mom and Dad would not find them. + +But the box was uncomfortable. It was small and hard and hot. They could not breathe well. They wanted to get out. + +"Max, I don't like this box. It is uncomfortable. Can we get out?" Lily whispered. + +"Shh, we have to be quiet. Maybe Mom and Dad will go away soon," Max whispered. + +But Mom and Dad did not go away. They opened the box. They saw Lily and Max. They were not happy. + +"What are you doing here? You know you are not allowed to go to the attic. You could get hurt or break something. And look at this mess. You have to clean it up," Mom said. + +"Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Dad. We were just playing. We wanted to see what was there," Lily said. + +"Playing is good, but you have to choose a safe place to play. And you have to ask us before you go somewhere new. And you have to respect our things. Do you understand?" Dad said. + +"Yes, Mom. Yes, Dad. We understand. We are sorry," Max said. + +Mom and Dad hugged them. They were not angry anymore. They helped them clean up the attic. They took them back to their room. They gave them a snack and a kiss. + +"Next time, choose a better place to play. And have fun. We love you," Mom said. + +"We love you too, Mom. We love you too, Dad," Lily and Max said. +Sara loved her bike. It was red and shiny and had a bell. She liked to ride it in the park with her daddy. But one day, her bike broke. The wheel came off and the chain fell down. Sara was sad and cried. + +Daddy saw Sara's bike and said, "Don't worry, Sara. I can repair your bike. I have tools and glue. It will be like new again." He took Sara's bike to the garage and started to work. + +Sara waited and waited. She wanted to ride her bike again. She heard noises from the garage. Bang, clang, snap, crack. She wondered what daddy was doing. She went to the garage and peeked inside. + +She saw daddy holding a hammer and a nail. He was trying to fix the wheel. But he was doing it wrong. He was hitting the nail on the rubber, not on the metal. He was making a hole in the wheel. Sara was shocked and scared. + +She shouted, "Daddy, stop! You are breaking my bike more! You are not repairing it! You are making a hole in the wheel!" + +But daddy did not hear her. He was deaf. He could not hear Sara's voice. He could only see her mouth moving. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sara. I am almost done. Your bike will be fine." + +Sara was angry and frustrated. She ran to daddy and grabbed the hammer from his hand. She said, "No, daddy, no! You are not helping. You are hurting. Look at the wheel. It has a hole. It will not work. You need to use glue, not a nail. You need to listen to me, daddy. Please, listen to me." + +Daddy looked at the wheel and saw the hole. He was surprised and sorry. He said, "Oh, Sara, I am sorry. I did not know. I was trying to help. I love you and your bike. I want you to be happy. But I can not hear you. I am deaf. You need to show me, not tell me. You need to use your hands, not your voice. Can you show me how to repair your bike, Sara?" + +Sara nodded and hugged daddy. She said, "I love you too, daddy. I know you are deaf. But you can still help me. You can still repair my bike. I will show you how. Come, follow me. We will use glue and tools. We will make my bike like new again." +Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They see a big building with many windows and doors.

A man gets out of the truck. He has a key. He opens the door. He says, "Hello, kids. Do you want to see what I have in the truck?" + +Ben and Mia nod. They are curious. The man opens the back of the truck. He shows them many boxes and bags. He says, "These are things for the people who work in the building. They are very busy. They need food and drinks and paper and pens and other things. I bring them every day." + +Ben and Mia think the man is nice. They say, "Thank you for showing us. Can we help you?" The man smiles. He says, "Sure, you can help me. You can carry some of the small boxes and bags to the door. But be careful. Don't drop them." + +Ben and Mia are happy. They help the man. They carry some of the small boxes and bags to the door. They feel like they are part of the busy building. They have fun. They learn something new. +Tom was a boy who liked to play outside. He liked to run, jump, and dig in the dirt. He did not like spiders. He thought they were scary and icky. He always ran away when he saw one. + +One day, Tom was playing in the yard with his dog, Spot. He found a big stick and pretended it was a sword. He swung it around and made noises. He felt very brave and strong. He did not worry about anything. + +But then, he saw something on the stick. It was a spider. A big, black, hairy spider. It had eight legs and eight eyes. It looked at Tom and moved closer. Tom was very scared. He dropped the stick and screamed. He ran to his mom, who was sitting on the porch. + +Mom saw Tom and hugged him. She asked him what was wrong. Tom told her about the spider. He said it was big and scary and wanted to bite him. Mom said it was okay. She said the spider was mild and did not want to hurt him. She said it was just looking for a home. She said Tom could leave it alone or gently move it away. + +Tom felt better. He was still afraid of spiders, but he did not worry so much. He said sorry to the spider and picked up his stick. He decided to play somewhere else. He and Spot ran to the swing and had fun. He was brave and strong again. He smiled and laughed. He did not see the spider again. +Sam was a good boy who liked to help his mom and dad. He always did his chores and told the truth. He was honest and kind. One day, his mom said, "Sam, you have been so good lately. I have a surprise for you." She gave him a big hug and a small box. + +Sam was very excited. He opened the box and saw a shiny chain with a star on it. It was a necklace. He loved it. He said, "Thank you, mom. This is the best gift ever. Can I wear it?" His mom said, "Of course, you can. But be careful with it. It is very special. It was your grandpa's. He gave it to me when I was a little girl. He said it would bring me luck and happiness. And it did. Now I want you to have it. It is a family treasure." + +Sam put on the necklace and felt very happy. He said, "I will take good care of it, mom. I will never lose it or break it. I promise." His mom smiled and said, "I know you will, Sam. You are a good boy. I love you." She kissed him on the cheek and said, "Now, go and play. But remember, don't show it to anyone. It is our secret. Some people might want to take it from you. And that would be very bad." + +Sam nodded and ran outside. He wanted to play with his friends. He was careful to hide the necklace under his shirt. He did not want anyone to see it. He was happy and proud. He had a special gift from his mom and grandpa. He felt lucky and happy. + +But he did not know that someone was watching him. It was Tom, the mean boy who lived next door. Tom was not honest or kind. He was greedy and selfish. He always wanted what other people had. He saw Sam's mom give him the box.

And that would be very bad. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man with a big cart. The cart had many ice-creams. Anna and Ben wanted ice-creams.

He took the ice-creams from them. He scolded them. + +"You are bad children. You cannot steal ice-creams. You have to pay me money or go away. Now you have no ice-creams and no money. Go away and do not come back," he said. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They felt ashamed. They cried. They had no ice-creams. They had no money. They had no friends. They skipped away from the park. They had a bad day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big bird with a red hat on its head. The bird flew down and landed on the fence. + +"Hello, little ones," the bird said.

They liked cake and juice. They wanted to see the king of the birds. + +"How can we go to the party?" Lily asked. + +The bird smiled and said, "You can fly with me. I have a magic hat that can make you fly. But you have to be quick. The party will start soon." + +Lily and Ben agreed. They put on the magic hat and held the bird's wings.

We can play outside with our friends." Anna says. + +"Me too. But we have to sleep. Mom and dad said so. They said sleep is good for us. It makes us grow and learn." Ben says. + +"I know. But I don't like the night. It makes me feel alone." Anna says. + +"You are not alone. I am here. And so are our teddy bears. And mom and dad are in the next room. They love us.

Anna says. + +She smiles. She feels a little less scared. + +"Can we play a little bit? Just for a while? Maybe it will help us sleep." Anna asks. + +"Okay. But not too loud. We don't want to wake up mom and dad. What do you want to play?" Ben asks. + +"How about we pretend we are astronauts? We can explore the stars and the moon.

They hope they will see him again. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play catch with a ball. Tom was older and stronger, so he could throw the ball very far and fast.

She knows everything," Tom says. + +They run to the park lady. She is sitting on a bench. She is reading a book. + +"Excuse me, park lady. Can we look at the drain?" Tom asks. + +The park lady smiles. She puts down her book. + +"Sure, you can look at the drain. But be careful. Don't touch anything. And don't go inside.

You are safe here." + +Lily's mom and dad thanked the fireman. They closed the door and went back to Lily's room. They turned on the light and hugged Lily. They said, "It's okay, Lily.
