It is a book about nature. Do you like nature?" + +Sara and Tom nod and say, "Yes, we do!" + +The man says, "Well, then, how about this? You can borrow my book and take it home. You can study it as much as you want. But you have to promise me two things. One, you have to take good care of the book and not lose it or damage it.

Anna says. + +"No, what is an operation?" Ben says. + +"An operation is when a doctor makes a small cut on your skin and takes out the bad thing that makes you hurt. Then they put a new bandage on it and you feel better. It is not scary, it is useful." Anna says. + +"Will it hurt?" Ben says. + +"No, it will not hurt.

Sara wanted to pick it and take it home. + +She ran to the rose bush and reached for the special rose. But then she heard a voice. It was an old lady who was sitting on a bench.

If you pick it, you will break the magic and make people sad and mean." + +Sara was surprised. She looked at the old lady and the rose. She felt curious and greedy. She wanted the rose for herself. She said, "But I like roses. I want this rose. It is so pretty. Why can't I have it?" + +The old lady said, "Because it is not yours. It belongs to the park and to everyone who comes here. It is a gift from nature. You can enjoy it, but you can't take it. If you love roses, you should respect them and let them grow. Promise me you will not pick the rose. Promise me you will be a good girl." + +Sara thought for a moment. She remembered her mom and dad. They taught her to be good and to keep her promises. They also taught her to share and to care for others. She felt sorry for being selfish. She said, "I'm sorry, old lady. I promise I will not pick the rose. I promise I will be a good girl. I will leave the rose here for everyone to see and love." + +The old lady smiled. She said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very wise and kind. You have made the right choice. The rose will reward you with its beauty and fragrance. And I will reward you with a hug and a story. Come, sit with me.

They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a trail that went into the woods. They wanted to see what was there. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Lily said.

It was a big, furry animal. It was lying on the ground. It was not moving. It had blood on its fur. It was dead. + +"Ben, what is that?" Lily asked. She felt scared. + +"I don't know, Lily. It looks like a bear. A dead bear," Ben said. He felt scared too. + +They wanted to run away. But then they heard another noise. It was louder and closer. It was a growl. It was another bear. A live bear. It was angry. It saw them. + +The bear roared and ran towards them. Ben and Lily screamed. They turned around and ran back to the trail. They ran as fast as they could. They hoped the bear would not catch them. + +They reached the park. They saw their mom and dad. They ran to them and hugged them. They told them what they saw. Their mom and dad were shocked and relieved. + +"Ben, Lily, you are very brave. But you should never go into the woods alone. It is too dangerous. There are wild animals that can hurt you," their mom said. + +"We are sorry, mom. We were curious. We won't do it again," Ben and Lily said. + +Their mom and dad kissed them and held them. They were glad they were safe. They decided to go home and have some cookies and milk. They learned a lesson. They would never forget the day they saw the dead bear. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the pool. They have a big floaty that looks like an avocado. It is green and soft. + +One day, they go to the pool with their moms. Anna is very impatient. She wants to swim with the avocado floaty right away. She runs to the pool and jumps in. Splash! + +"Anna, wait for me!" Ben says. He runs after her. He also jumps in. Splash! + +They swim to the avocado floaty. They try to climb on it. But it is slippery and wobbly. They fall off. They laugh. + +"Let's try again!" Anna says. She grabs the floaty.

Tom had a big shield made of cardboard and Mia had a green scarf tied around her neck. They pretended to fight and roar at each other. + +"Take that, dragon!" Tom shouted, hitting Mia with his shield. "You are a terrible beast!" + +"Ouch, that hurts!" Mia cried, rubbing her arm. "You are a mean knight!" + +They stopped playing and looked at each other. They saw that they had made each other sad. They felt sorry for what they had done. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Tom said. "I didn't mean to hurt you. You are my best friend." + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Mia said. "I didn't mean to scare you. You are my best friend too." + +They hugged and smiled. They decided to play something else. They moved the shield and the scarf to the side and picked up some balls. They threw the balls to each other and laughed. They had fun and forgot about their fight. They were happy again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to dig holes and find bugs. They had a big jar to keep the bugs in. They wanted to catch a spider, but they did not see any. + +"Maybe we can make a trap for the spider," Tom said. "We can use some sticks and leaves and a string." + +"Good idea," Lily said. "But what will we supply for the spider to eat?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He saw a fly buzzing around a flower. He ran to catch it, but it flew away. + +"Let's use this flower," he said. "Spiders like flowers, right?" + +Lily nodded. They picked the flower and put it in the middle of their trap. They hid behind a bush and waited. + +Soon, they saw a big, hairy spider crawling towards their trap. It smelled the flower and went inside. Tom pulled the string and the trap closed. + +"Yay, we caught a spider!" Tom cheered. + +Lily looked at the jar. She felt fearful. The spider was big and scary. It had eight legs and many eyes. It tried to bite the trap. + +"Tom, I don't want to keep the spider," she said. "It is too scary. Can we let it go?" + +Tom looked at the spider. He felt fearful too. He did not want to touch it. + +"Okay, let's let it go," he said. "But we have to be careful. It might bite us." + +They put the jar near the trap and opened the lid. The spider crawled out of the trap and into the jar. Then it ran out of the jar and away. + +Tom and Lily sighed with relief. They decided to play with something else. They did not want to catch any more spiders. +Lila and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find shiny things. Sometimes they found coins, sometimes buttons, sometimes rocks. One day, they found a gem. It was blue and sparkly, like the sky. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lila said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can I see?" Tom asked. He reached for the gem, but Lila held it tight. + +"No, it is mine!" she said. "I found it first!" + +They started to tug and pull on the gem. They did not see the big dog that came running towards them. The dog was black and furry, with sharp teeth and loud barks. It was scary. + +"Roof! Roof!" the dog said. It wanted to play, but Lila and Tom did not know that. They were afraid. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. They let go of the gem and ran to the house. The dog followed them, wagging its tail. + +The gem fell on the ground and broke into two pieces. It was not shiny anymore. It was sad. + +Lila and Tom ran into the house and slammed the door. They hugged each other and cried. + +"Mom! Mom!" they called. "There is a scary dog outside!" + +Mom came and looked out the window. She saw the dog, but she was not afraid. She knew the dog. It was her friend's dog, Max. He had escaped from his yard and came to visit. + +"It is okay, kids," Mom said. "That is Max. He is a good dog. He just wants to play. He will not hurt you." + +She opened the door and called Max. He came and licked her hand. He was happy. + +"See? He is friendly," Mom said. "Do you want to pet him?" + +Lila and Tom were still scared, but they trusted Mom. They came out and touched Max. He was soft and warm. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was not scary. He was fun. + +"Sorry, Max," Lila said. "We did not mean to run away from you." + +"Sorry, Max," Tom said. "We did not mean to drop the gem." + +They looked at the gem on the ground. It was broken and dull. They felt bad. + +"Can we fix it, Mom?" Lila asked. + +"Can we make it shiny again, Mom?" Tom asked. + +Mom smiled and picked up the gem. She looked at it and said, "I think we can. We can repair it with some glue and some glitter. Do you want to help me?" + +Lila and Tom nodded. They liked to glue and glitter things. They followed Mom to the kitchen. Max followed them, too. He liked to be with them. + +They repaired the gem with glue and glitter. They made it shiny again. They were happy. + +They gave the gem to Max as a gift. He liked it, too. He barked and wagged his tail. He was grateful. + +They played with Max in the garden. They dug and found more shiny things. They shared them with each other and with Max. They were friends. They had fun. +Lily and Sam like to do art with chalk. They have many colors of chalk. They draw on the sidewalk outside their house. They make flowers, stars, and animals. + +One day, a big dog comes to their street. The dog is black and white. He barks loud and runs fast. Lily and Sam are scared. They drop their chalk and run to their door. + +"Mommy, mommy, there is a big dog!" Lily cries. + +"Where is the dog?" Mommy asks. She is alert and looks outside. + +"The dog is on the sidewalk. He is near our chalk!" Sam says. + +Mommy sees the dog. He is not mean. He is playful. He likes the chalk. He picks up a blue chalk with his mouth. He tries to draw on the sidewalk. He makes a mess. + +"Look, he is doing art with our chalk!" Lily laughs. + +"He is funny!" Sam says. + +Mommy smiles. She opens the door and calls the dog. + +"Hello, dog. What is your name? Do you want to play with us?" Mommy says. + +The dog wags his tail. He drops the blue chalk and runs to Mommy. He licks her hand. He is friendly. + +Lily and Sam come out of the door. They are not scared anymore. They pet the dog. They give him some water and a biscuit. + +"Can we keep him, Mommy?" Lily asks. + +"Let's see if he has a tag. Maybe he has a home and a family." Mommy says. + +She looks at the dog's collar. She sees a tag. It says: Spot. 555-1234. + +"His name is Spot. He has a phone number. Let's call and see if his owner is looking for him." Mommy says. + +She takes her phone and dials the number. A man answers. + +"Hello, this is Tom. Who is this?" The man says. + +"Hello, this is Lily's Mommy. We found your dog. He is at our house. He is doing art with our chalk." Mommy says. + +"Oh, thank you so much! I have been looking for him. He ran away from the park. He loves chalk. He is very smart and curious. Can I come and get him?" The man says. + +"Sure, you can come. We are at 123 Main Street. We like your dog. He is very nice." Mommy says. + +"Thank you. I will be there soon. You are very kind." The man says. + +Lily and Sam hug Spot. They say goodbye to him. They are happy that he has a home and a family. They are also happy that they made a new friend. They pick up their chalk and do more art on the sidewalk. They draw a picture of Spot. They write his name with big letters. They smile. +Anna was very happy. She got an invitation to Lily's birthday party. The invitation had a picture of a pink cake and a big balloon. It said, "Come to my party on Saturday. Wear something nice and bring a gift." + +Anna wanted to wear something nice. She looked in her closet. She saw a dress with flowers, a skirt with stars, and a shirt with a rainbow. She did not know what to choose. She asked her mom for help. + +"Mom, what should I wear to Lily's party?" she said. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "You are very polite to ask, Anna. All your clothes are nice, but I think the dress with flowers is the best. It is pretty and comfortable. And it matches your shoes." + +Anna agreed. She put on the dress with flowers and her shoes. She looked in the mirror. She liked what she saw. She felt happy and excited. + +She also picked a gift for Lily. She wrapped it in colorful paper and put a bow on it. She wrote, "To Lily, from Anna" on a card. She put the gift and the invitation in her backpack. + +She was ready to go to the party. She said goodbye to her mom and dad. They kissed her and wished her a good time. + +"Have fun, Anna. And be polite to Lily and her friends," they said. + +"I will, mom and dad. Thank you for helping me," she said. + +She went to the bus stop with her backpack. She waited for the bus that would take her to Lily's house. She hoped Lily would like her gift and her dress. She was sure they would have a lot of fun. +Tom was a big boy who liked to help his mom. He helped her cook, clean, and take care of his baby sister. He also helped her take her pills every day. Mom said the pills made her feel better, but sometimes she still looked sad and tired. + +One day, mom told Tom that they were going to visit grandma and grandpa. Tom was very happy, because he loved his grandparents. They lived in a distant place, far away from the city. They had a big house, a nice garden, and a friendly dog. Tom packed his toys, his books, and his clothes in a small bag. He also packed mom's pills in a special box. He wanted to provide for her, just like she did for him. + +They took a long ride in the car, and then a big plane in the sky. Tom looked out the window and saw the clouds, the mountains, and the fields. He was very excited. He held mom's hand and smiled. Mom smiled back, but her eyes were still sad and tired. + +When they arrived, grandma and grandpa were waiting for them. They hugged and kissed them, and took them to their house. Tom ran to the garden, where the dog greeted him with a wagging tail. He played with the dog, picked some flowers, and chased some butterflies. He felt very happy. + +Mom stayed inside with grandma and grandpa. They talked for a long time, and Tom heard them cry sometimes. He wondered why they were sad. He wanted to make them happy. He remembered the pills. He ran to his bag, took out the special box, and brought it to mom. He said, "Mom, these are your pills. They make you feel better. I want you to be happy." + +Mom looked at Tom, and then at the box. She hugged him and kissed him. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a very good boy. You are very kind and helpful. I love you very much." She opened the box, and took out a pill. She swallowed it with some water. She smiled at Tom, and her eyes were not so sad and tired anymore. She said, "Tom, these are not just pills. They are magic pills. They help me fight a bad thing inside me. A thing that makes me sick and weak. But with these pills, and with your love, I can be strong and healthy again." + +Tom was amazed. He said, "Wow, mom. You have magic pills? That's awesome. Can I have one too?" Mom laughed and said, "No, Tom. You don't need them. You are already strong and healthy. And you have your own magic. The magic of your heart. The magic that makes me happy." + +Tom smiled and hugged mom. He said, "I love you, mom. You are the best mom in the world. And you have the best magic in the world. The magic of your smile." Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Tom. You are the best son in the world. And you have the best magic in the world. The magic of your hug." They hugged and kissed, and felt very happy. Grandma and grandpa joined them, and they all hugged and kissed. They felt very happy too. They had a wonderful time together, in the distant place, with the big house, the nice garden, and the friendly dog. And with the magic pills. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big porch with a swing and a table. They also had a garden with many flowers and bugs. Lily loved to admire the flowers and smell them. Max loved to catch the bugs and put them in a jar. + +One day, they saw a big butterfly with many colors. It was flying near the porch. Lily and Max wanted to see it better. They ran to the porch and tried to catch it. But the butterfly was too fast and flew away. + +"Wow, that was a perfect butterfly!" Lily said. "I wish I could touch it." + +"Me too," Max said. "Maybe it will come back." + +They waited on the porch and watched the sky. They hoped the butterfly would return. They did not see the big cat that was hiding under the table. The cat was hungry and wanted to eat the bugs in Max's jar. + +The cat waited for the right moment. When Lily and Max were looking away, it jumped on the table and knocked over the jar. The bugs escaped and flew everywhere. The cat chased them and made a lot of noise. + +Lily and Max turned around and saw the cat. They were scared and angry. They shouted at the cat and tried to shoo it away. But the cat was too fast and ran away. + +"Hey, that was our jar!" Max said. "You are a bad cat!" + +"Yeah, you are a mean cat!" Lily said. "You scared our bugs!" + +They looked at the broken jar and the empty porch. They felt sad and sorry. They had lost their bugs and their butterfly. + +But then, they saw something in the air. It was the big butterfly with many colors. It had come back. It flew near the porch and landed on Lily's hand. It was soft and gentle. Lily and Max smiled and admired the butterfly. They forgot about the cat and the jar. They felt happy and lucky. They had found their perfect butterfly. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play hide and seek. One day, they decided to hide in the laundry room, where their mom had a big pile of clothes to wash. They crawled under the clothes and waited for their dad to find them. + +But their dad was busy making lunch and did not hear them when they shouted "ready or not, here we come!" He turned on the washing machine and put some clothes in it. He did not see Lily and Ben under the pile. + +Lily and Ben heard the water and the noise and got scared. They tried to escape from the laundry, but it was too heavy and too hot. They started to cry and call for help. + +Their mom heard them and ran to the laundry room. She saw the washing machine and the clothes and realized what had happened. She quickly turned off the machine and pulled out Lily and Ben. They were wet and dirty and scared. + +She hugged them and said "I'm so glad you're okay. You should never hide in the laundry, it's dangerous. Next time, find a safer place to play, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said "sorry, mom. We won't do it again." They were not enthusiastic about hide and seek anymore. They decided to play with their toys instead. +Lila and Ben are part of a big family. They have a mom, a dad, a grandma, a grandpa, and a dog. They like to go on trips with their family in the car. Their dad is the driver. He knows how to drive fast and safe. + +One day, they go to the park. The park has a lot of trees, flowers, and birds. Lila and Ben want to play on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They ask their dad to park the car near the playground. Their dad says yes and finds a spot. + +"Can we go now, dad?" Lila asks. + +"Yes, you can, but be careful and stay close," their dad says. "I will watch you from the car." + +Lila and Ben run to the playground. They have a lot of fun. They swing high, slide down, and make castles in the sand. They see other kids and make new friends. They share their toys and snacks. + +After a while, they hear their dad's voice. He calls them to come back to the car. He says it is time to go home. + +"Okay, dad, we are coming," Lila says. + +They say goodbye to their friends and run back to the car. They are happy and tired. They thank their dad for taking them to the park. + +"You are welcome, my little ones," their dad says. "You are the best part of my day." He hugs them and buckles them up. He starts the car and drives them home. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play with their grandpa. Grandpa had a long cane that he used to walk. Sometimes, he let Sam and Lily hold his cane and pretend to be old. + +One day, they decided to play a new game. They took grandpa's cane and his hat and went to the garage. There, they found his old car that he did not drive anymore. It was dusty and rusty, but they thought it was fun. + +They climbed inside the car and put on the hat and the cane. Sam sat in the driver's seat and Lily sat next to him. They pretended to drive the car to different places. They made noises like vroom and beep and honk. + +"Where are we going, Sam?" Lily asked. + +"We are going to the park, Lily," Sam said. "We can see the ducks and the swings and the slide." + +"That sounds nice, Sam," Lily said. "But how do we get there?" + +Sam looked at the cane and had an idea. He stuck the cane out of the window and pointed it to the road. He said, "We follow the cane, Lily. The cane knows the way." + +They laughed and continued to play. They did not see grandpa coming to the garage. He was looking for his hat and his cane. He saw the twins in his car and smiled. He was happy that they were having fun. He decided to join them. + +He opened the door and got in the back seat. He said, "Hello, Sam and Lily. Where are you driving to?" + +The twins were surprised and happy to see grandpa. They said, "Hi, grandpa. We are driving to the park. Do you want to come with us?" + +Grandpa said, "Of course, I do. But first, can I have my hat and my cane back?" + +Sam and Lily gave him his hat and his cane. They said, "Sorry, grandpa. We were just playing." + +Grandpa said, "That's okay, Sam and Lily. I like playing too. But you know, this car does not work anymore. We cannot really drive it." + +The twins said, "We know, grandpa. We were just pretending." + +Grandpa said, "Well, then, how about we pretend to drive to the park and then we walk there? It's not far and it's a nice day." + +The twins said, "Yes, grandpa. That sounds good." + +They all smiled and hugged. They pretended to drive to the park and then they got out of the car. They took grandpa's hat and his cane and walked to the park. They saw the ducks and the swings and the slide. They had a lot of fun. They loved grandpa and grandpa loved them. +Ben was a boy who liked to be organized. He had a place for everything in his room. He put his toys in boxes, his books on shelves, and his clothes in drawers. He was happy when his room was neat and tidy. + +One day, he had a new friend over to play. His name was Tom. Tom liked to play with many toys at once. He took out cars, trains, blocks, and puzzles from Ben's boxes. He made a big mess on the floor. Ben did not like that. He asked Tom to put the toys back. + +"Please, Tom, put the toys back in the boxes. They belong there," Ben said. + +"Why?" Tom asked. "It's more fun to play with them all. I don't like boxes. They are boring." + +"But it's not nice to make a mess in my room. It's hard to find things. And it's not fair to me. I have to clean up after you," Ben said. + +Tom did not listen. He kept playing with the toys. He did not care about Ben's feelings. He was not a good friend. + +Ben was sad and angry. He did not want to play with Tom anymore. He told Tom to go home. Tom was surprised. He did not understand why Ben was mad at him. + +"Bye, Ben. I had fun. See you later," Tom said. + +"No, Tom. You are not my friend. You are rude and selfish. You don't respect my things. You don't respect me. You can't come to my room again," Ben said. + +Tom left. He was confused and hurt. He did not know what he did wrong. + +Ben cleaned up his room. He put the toys back in the boxes. He felt better. He decided to look for a new friend. A friend who would be organized and polite. A friend who would care about him. + +The moral of the story is: Respect other people's things and feelings. Be a good friend. Be organized and polite. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the garden. They had a big hose that could spray water very far. They liked to spray each other and the plants and the bugs. Sometimes they sprayed the dog, but he did not like it and ran away. + +One day, they saw a hole in the ground. It was dark and deep and they wondered what was inside. They decided to spray water into the hole and see what would happen. They took turns to hold the hose and aim at the hole. + +"Maybe there is a treasure in there," said Tim. + +"Or a monster," said Sam. + +They sprayed and sprayed, but nothing came out of the hole. They got bored and went to play with something else. + +The next day, they heard a loud noise from the garden. They ran outside and saw water gushing out of the hole. It was like a fountain, but bigger and stronger. It sprayed water all over the garden and the house and the street. It made a big mess and a lot of noise. + +Their mom and dad came out and saw the water. They were very angry and scared. They called someone to help them stop the water. They asked Tim and Sam what they did. + +"We just sprayed water into the hole," said Tim. + +"We did not know it was serious," said Sam. + +They learned that the hole was part of an underground pipe that carried water to many houses. When they sprayed water into it, they made a crack in the pipe and caused a leak. They had to say sorry to their mom and dad and to the people who helped them. They also had to help clean up the garden and the house and the street. They did not play with the hose anymore. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. One day, they want to read a story. But they cannot find their favorite book. It is a big book with many pictures. It is heavy and hard. + +"Where is our book?" Lily asks. "Did we put it under the bed?" + +Ben looks under the bed. He sees a ball, a shoe and a sock. But he does not see the book. "No, it is not here," he says. + +"Maybe it is in the closet?" Lily says. "Did we hide it behind the coats?" + +Ben opens the closet. He moves the coats and the hats. But he does not see the book. "No, it is not here either," he says. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They want to read their book. They search and search. But they cannot find it. + +Then they hear a voice. It is their mom. She is in the kitchen. She says, "Lily, Ben, come here. I have a surprise for you." + +Lily and Ben run to the kitchen. They see their mom holding their book. She smiles and says, "Look what I found. It was on the table. You left it there yesterday. Do you want me to read it to you?" + +Lily and Ben are happy. They hug their mom and say, "Yes, please. We love this book. Thank you, mom." + +They sit on the couch with their mom. She opens the book and reads them the story. They look at the pictures and listen to the words. They enjoy the story very much. They forget about their search. They are glad they found their book. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. But sometimes they quarrel over their toys. They yell and push each other. Mom does not like it when they quarrel. She says they have to share and be nice. + +One day, Tom and Sam find a big box in the garage. It has many old toys inside. They are very happy. They want to play with the toys. But they do not agree on who gets what. Tom wants the red car. Sam wants the red car too. They both grab the car and pull it. They start to quarrel again. + +"Give me the car! It is mine!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Sam says. + +They do not listen to each other. They do not let go of the car. They make a lot of noise. Mom hears them and comes to the garage. She sees them quarreling over the car. She is angry. + +"Stop it, boys! You are being crazy!" Mom says. "You have to follow the law of the house. The law is: if you want to play with something, you have to ask the other person first. And if the other person says no, you have to respect that. You cannot just take things and quarrel over them. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They feel sorry. They let go of the car. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. Mom smiles. She is glad they are friends again. She helps them pick other toys to play with. They have fun with the toys. They do not quarrel anymore. They are happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to draw. They had many crayons and papers to make pictures. One day, they wanted to draw a landscape, like the one they saw in a book. A landscape is a picture of what you see outside, like trees, hills, sky, and sun. + +Tom and Lily looked for a good place to draw. They saw a big window in the living room. They ran to the window and put their papers on the floor. They started to draw what they saw. Tom drew a green hill with a blue sky and a yellow sun. Lily drew a brown tree with red apples and a pink sky. + +"Look at my landscape!" Tom said. "It is very pretty!" + +"Look at mine!" Lily said. "It is very pretty too!" + +They looked at each other's drawings. They saw that they were different. + +"Your landscape is wrong!" Tom said. "The sky is not pink! It is blue!" + +"Your landscape is wrong!" Lily said. "The sun is not yellow! It is orange!" + +They started to argue. They did not like each other's drawings. They wanted to make their drawings the same. + +"No, you change yours!" Tom said. + +"No, you change yours!" Lily said. + +They grabbed each other's papers and tried to change them. They tore the papers and broke the crayons. They made a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken papers and crayons. She saw Tom and Lily crying. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. + +"Tom and Lily wanted to draw a landscape, but they did not agree on the colors. They fought and ruined their drawings." A voice said. + +Mom looked up and saw a bird on the window sill. It was a parrot. It could talk. + +"Who are you?" Mom asked. + +"I am Polly. I live in the tree outside. I saw everything. I can tell you the story." The parrot said. + +Mom was surprised. She did not know there was a parrot in the tree. She did not know it could talk. + +"You are a very lucky bird!" Mom said. "You can see many landscapes and talk about them!" + +"Yes, I am very lucky!" The parrot said. "But I also need a friend. Can I be your friend?" + +Mom smiled. She thought the parrot was very smart and friendly. She thought it could help Tom and Lily learn about landscapes and colors. + +"Of course you can be our friend!" Mom said. "Come inside and join us!" + +The parrot flew inside and landed on Mom's shoulder. Mom hugged Tom and Lily and gave them new papers and crayons. She told them they could draw any landscape they wanted, as long as they were nice to each other. She told them they could ask Polly for help if they needed. + +Tom and Lily stopped crying and smiled. They said they were sorry for fighting. They said they wanted to be friends with Polly. They started to draw new landscapes, with different colors and shapes. They had fun and learned a lot. + +They were very lucky to have a new friend. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to pretend they were racing drivers and zoom around the grass. They had a big red car and a small blue car. Ben had the red car and Lily had the blue car. + +"Let's see who is faster!" Ben said. "Ready, set, go!" + +They pushed their cars as hard as they could. The cars rolled and spun on the grass. Ben's car was a bit faster than Lily's car. He was happy and shouted, "I win, I win!" + +Lily was sad and said, "No fair, your car is bigger and stronger than mine. It has more fuel." + +Ben said, "That's not true, my car has the same fuel as yours. Look, they both have a hole where you put the fuel in." + +He showed Lily the hole on his car. Lily looked at it and then at her car. She saw a hole on her car too. She said, "Oh, you're right. They do have the same fuel. But why is your car faster then?" + +Ben said, "Maybe because it is red. Red cars are faster than blue cars. Everyone knows that." + +Lily said, "That's silly. The color of the car doesn't make it faster. Maybe it's because you are older and stronger than me. You can push your car harder than I can." + +Ben said, "Maybe. But you are still a good driver. You almost caught up with me. Do you want to race again?" + +Lily said, "Yes, let's race again. But this time, let's swap cars. I want to try the red car and you can have the blue car." + +Ben said, "OK, fine. But I will still win, because I am a better driver than you." + +They swapped cars and got ready to race again. They counted, "One, two, three, go!" + +They pushed their cars as hard as they could. The cars rolled and spun on the grass. But this time, something strange happened. Lily's car, the red one, went so fast that it disappeared. It was gone. Ben and Lily could not see it anywhere. + +They stopped and looked around. They were shocked and confused. They said together, "Where did it go?" + +They searched the garden for the red car. They looked under the bushes, behind the rocks, in the flowers, but they could not find it. It was like it had vanished. + +They said together, "How did it disappear?" + +They did not know what to do. They felt sad and scared. They wondered if they would ever see the red car again. + +They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on the porch. They told them what happened. They said, "Mom, dad, our red car disappeared. We don't know where it is. We can't find it. Please help us." + +Mom and dad looked at each other and smiled. They knew what had happened. They said, "Don't worry, kids. We know where your red car is. It didn't disappear. It flew away." + +Ben and Lily said, "It flew away? How? Why?" + +Mom and dad said, "Because it was a special car. It was a rocket car. It had a secret button that made it fly. We gave it to you as a surprise. We wanted to see if you would find it and press it. And you did." + +Ben and Lily said, "A rocket car? A secret button? A surprise? Wow!" + +Mom and dad said, "Yes, wow. Your red car is now in the sky, going to the stars. It is very fast and very rich. It has a lot of fuel and a lot of fun. It will come back soon, don't worry. It will land in the garden and you can play with it again. But next time, be careful. Don't press the button unless you want to fly too." + +Ben and Lily said, "OK, we will be careful. But we also want to fly. Can we fly with the red car?" + +Mom and dad said, "Maybe. But only if you are good and brave and smart. And only if you wear helmets and seatbelts and goggles. And only if you say please and thank you and we love you." + +Ben and Lily said, "We are good and brave and smart. And we will wear helmets and seatbelts and goggles. And we say please and thank you and we love you. Can we fly with the red car, please?" + +Mom and dad said, "Yes, you can. But only when the red car comes back. And only for a little while. And only if you promise to come back too." + +Ben and Lily said, "We promise. We promise. We promise." + +They hugged mom and dad and +Tom and Lisa are friends. They like to play together. They have many toys and games. One day, they find a video in Lisa's house. It is a video of a wedding. They see a man and a woman in white clothes. They say "I do" and kiss. They look happy. + +"What is this?" Tom asks. + +"This is a wedding. My mom and dad had a wedding. They married each other. They love each other," Lisa says. + +"Can we marry each other?" Tom asks. + +Lisa thinks for a moment. She likes Tom. He is nice and funny. But he is different from her. He has brown hair and she has blond hair. He likes cars and she likes dolls. He is a boy and she is a girl. + +"I don't know. We are different. Maybe we can't marry each other," Lisa says. + +Tom feels sad. He wants to marry Lisa. He thinks she is pretty and smart. He doesn't care that they are different. He thinks that makes them special. + +"But I love you. You are my best friend. I don't want to marry anyone else," Tom says. + +Lisa looks at Tom. She sees that he is sincere. She feels happy. She loves him too. He is her best friend. She doesn't want to marry anyone else either. + +"Okay. Let's marry each other. We can have our own wedding. We can wear white clothes and say 'I do' and kiss. We can be happy," Lisa says. + +Tom and Lisa hug. They are happy. They decide to have their wedding in the garden. They invite their stuffed animals and dolls. They play the video of the wedding. They copy what they see. They marry each other. They are different, but they are happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily and Ben have fun in the park. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a big dog with him. The dog is black and brown. He wears a collar with a badge. The boy says his name is Max and his dog is a guard. He says his dog can do tricks. + +"Can we see?" Lily asks. + +"Sure," Max says. He tells his dog to sit, roll over, and shake. The dog does what Max says. Lily and Ben clap and laugh. + +"Wow, your dog is so smart!" Ben says. + +"Thank you," Max says. "He is my best friend. He helps me feel safe. Do you want to pet him?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They go closer to the dog. The dog wags his tail. He licks their hands. Lily and Ben smile. + +"He is very nice," Lily says. + +"Can we be your friends too?" Ben asks. + +"Of course," Max says. "You are very nice too. Do you want to play with us?" + +Lily and Ben say yes. They play with Max and his dog. They slide, swing, and dig in the sandbox. They have a lot of fun. + +Soon, other kids in the park see them. They want to play with Max and his dog too. Max and his dog are very popular. They make many friends. Lily and Ben are happy. They recognize that Max and his dog are special. They are glad they met them. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day, they found a lemon in the kitchen and decided to have a contest. + +"Let's see who can eat the lemon without making a face," Ben said. + +"OK, I go first," Lily said. She took a big bite of the lemon and felt a sour taste in her mouth. She tried to resist, but she could not help scrunching her nose and closing her eyes. + +"Ha ha, you lose!" Ben laughed. "Now it's my turn." + +He took a bite of the lemon and felt the same sour taste. He also tried to resist, but he could not help sticking out his tongue and spitting out the lemon. + +"Yuck, you lose too!" Lily said. "The lemon is too sour for both of us." + +They looked at each other and started to giggle. They realized that the lemon was not a good thing to eat, but a fun thing to play with. They squeezed the lemon and made lemonade. They drank the lemonade and felt happy. They learned that sometimes it is better to share than to compete. +Tim and Sue are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big goose near the pond. The goose has white feathers and a long neck. + +"Look, a goose!" Tim says. He wants to touch the goose. He crawls to the goose on his hands and knees. + +"Wait, Tim!" Sue says. She is scared of the goose. She thinks the goose is tough and mean. She crawls after Tim to stop him. + +The goose sees Tim and Sue. It does not like them. It hisses and flaps its wings. It pecks at Tim's hand. Tim cries out. He crawls back to Sue. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim says. He holds his hand. He is sad and hurt. + +"Are you okay, Tim?" Sue says. She hugs Tim. She is sorry for him. + +The goose walks away. It does not care about Tim and Sue. It looks for more food in the pond. + +Tim and Sue learn a lesson. They do not crawl to the goose again. They play with other animals that are nice and friendly. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to help Mom and Dad with chores. Today, they want to polish the table. Mom gives them a cloth and a bottle of spray. They spray the table and rub it with the cloth.

They like to polish the table and get a treat. They are thoughtful twins. +Lily liked to play with her toys in the bath. She had a yellow duck, a blue fish, and a purple octopus. The octopus was her favorite, because it had eight legs and could squirt water. Lily pretended that the octopus was her friend and they went on adventures together. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, we are going to the zoo today. Do you want to come?" Lily was very happy. She loved to see the animals at the zoo. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to come. Can I bring my octopus?" Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, you can bring your octopus. But you have to keep it in your backpack, okay?" Lily nodded and ran to get her backpack and her octopus. + +At the zoo, Lily saw many animals. She saw lions, monkeys, elephants, and giraffes. She liked them all, but she wanted to see something special. She asked her mom, "Mom, where are the real octopuses?" Her mom said, "They are in the aquarium, Lily. Do you want to go there?" Lily said, "Yes, mom, I want to go there. Maybe my octopus can meet them." Her mom said, "Maybe, but you have to be careful, Lily. Octopuses are very smart and they can escape from their tanks. They might try to take your octopus away." + +Lily and her mom went to the aquarium. They saw many fish, turtles, sharks, and dolphins. Lily liked them, but she was looking for the octopuses. She found them in a big tank with a sign that said, "Octopus Garden". She saw four octopuses in the tank. They had different colors and patterns. They moved their legs and changed their shapes. Lily was amazed. She said, "Mom, look at the octopuses. They are so cool. Can I show them my octopus?" Her mom said, "Okay, Lily, but only for a moment. And don't put your octopus in the water, okay?" Lily said, "Okay, mom, I won't." + +Lily took her octopus out of her backpack and held it near the glass. She said, "Hello, octopuses. This is my octopus. His name is Ollie. He is my friend. Do you want to be his friend?" The octopuses in the tank looked at Lily and her octopus. They seemed curious. One of them came closer to the glass and touched it with a leg. It made a sound like a squeak. Lily said, "What did you say, octopus? Do you like Ollie?" The octopus squeaked again and nodded. Lily said, "That's good. I'm glad you like him. He likes you too." + +Lily was very happy. She had made new friends for her octopus. She said, "Mom, look, the octopuses like Ollie. They want to be his friends. Can we stay here for a while?" Her mom said, "Sure, Lily, we can stay here for a while. But we have to go soon, okay?" Lily said, "Okay, mom, we will go soon. But first, I want to tell the octopuses something." She leaned closer to the glass and said, "Octopuses, I have something to tell you. I recommend that you be nice to Ollie. He is a good octopus. He can squirt water and play games. He is a successful octopus. He makes me happy. And I love him very much." The octopuses squeaked and nodded. They seemed to understand. They smiled and waved their legs at Lily and Ollie. Lily smiled and waved back. She said, "Bye, octopuses. See you next time. Thank you for being Ollie's friends." She put Ollie back in her backpack and hugged him. She said, "Ollie, you are the best octopus in the world. I'm so proud of you. You have made new friends today. And you have made me happy too. I love you, Ollie." Ollie squirted a little water and made a sound like a purr. He loved Lily too. They were very happy. +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a big box and some old clothes. They imagine they are in a castle. + +"I am the king and you are the queen," Tom says. "We have a lot of food and jewels." + +"What kind of food do we have?" Lily asks. + +"We have cake and ice cream and pizza and candy," Tom says. "And we have milk and juice and water." + +"That sounds yummy," Lily says. "But we have to be fit too. We have to run and jump and dance." + +"OK, let's run and jump and dance," Tom says. "But first, let's have some food." + +They pretend to eat some food from the box. They make noises and say how good it is. + +"Mmm, this cake is so soft and sweet," Lily says. + +"Yum, this ice cream is so cold and creamy," Tom says. + +They eat and eat until they are full. Then they run and jump and dance around the garden. They laugh and have fun. They imagine they are in a castle. +Sara and Ben love to play in the park. They like to see the deer that live there. The deer are brown and soft. They eat grass and leaves. Sometimes they come close to Sara and Ben. + +One day, Sara and Ben bring some carrots to the park. They want to feed the deer. They find a deer that is friendly. They give it some carrots. The deer is happy. It eats the carrots and licks their hands. + +But then, a big dog comes to the park. It sees the deer and barks. The deer is scared. It runs away. The dog chases it. Sara and Ben are upset. They want the deer to be safe. + +"Stop, dog, stop!" Sara shouts. "Leave the deer alone!" + +Ben picks up a stick. He throws it to the dog. He hopes the dog will stop chasing the deer and play with the stick. + +"Here, dog, here!" Ben calls. "Catch the stick!" + +The dog sees the stick. It likes to play with sticks. It stops chasing the deer and runs to the stick. It grabs the stick and wags its tail. + +The deer is safe. It hides behind a tree. It watches the dog and the children. It is glad they are not angry. + +Sara and Ben are happy. They have replaced the deer with the stick. They have made a new friend. They pet the dog and give it some carrots. The dog is happy. It eats the carrots and licks their faces. +Tim and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Tim found a big shell that was shiny and smooth. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look, Lily, I found an oyster!" + +Lily looked at the shell and said, "That's not an oyster, Tim. That's a clam. Oysters are different. They have rough shells and pearls inside." + +Tim did not believe Lily. He said, "No, this is an oyster. I know it is. I want to open it and see the pearl." + +Lily said, "You can't open it, Tim. It's too hard. And you might hurt yourself. Let's go and show Mom and Dad. Maybe they can help us." + +Tim and Lily ran to Mom and Dad, who were sitting on a blanket. They showed them the shell and asked, "Is this an oyster or a clam?" + +Mom and Dad looked at the shell and smiled. They said, "This is a clam, Tim and Lily. It's a very nice clam, but it's not an oyster. Oysters live in the water, not on the sand. And they hang on rocks or ropes, not on the ground. Do you want to see some oysters?" + +Tim and Lily nodded. They wanted to see some oysters. Mom and Dad took them to a nearby stall, where a man was selling oysters. The man showed them how he opened the oysters with a knife and gave them a pearl to hold. Tim and Lily were amazed by the oysters and the pearls. They said, "Wow, oysters are so cool!" + +The man said, "Yes, they are. But they are also very tasty. Do you want to try some?" + +Tim and Lily looked at the oysters and made a face. They said, "No, thank you. They look silly and slimy. We don't want to eat them. We just want to look at them." + +The man laughed and said, "That's okay. Maybe when you are older, you will like them. For now, you can keep the pearl as a souvenir. Have a nice day!" + +Tim and Lily thanked the man and went back to Mom and Dad. They put the pearl in the clam shell and said, "Look, Mom and Dad, we made our own oyster!" + +Mom and Dad hugged them and said, "You are very clever, Tim and Lily. But you are also very silly. We love you very much." +Lily and Ben love blueberries. They like to eat them for breakfast and snack. Sometimes, they help Mom pick blueberries from the garden. Mom says they have to be careful not to squish the blueberries or drop them on the ground. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to the garden with Mom. They see many blueberries on the bushes. They are big and juicy and purple. Lily and Ben want to pick them all. They each get a basket and start to pick. Lily is careful. She picks one blueberry at a time and puts it in her basket. She does not squish or drop any blueberries. + +Ben is not careful. He picks many blueberries at once and tries to put them in his basket. But his basket is too small and his hands are too full. He struggles to hold all the blueberries. He squishes some blueberries and drops some blueberries on the ground. He makes a mess. + +Mom sees Ben struggling. She says, "Ben, you have to be careful. You are wasting the blueberries. Pick one at a time and put it in your basket. Like Lily." + +Ben looks at Lily. She has a full basket of blueberries. She smiles at him. Ben feels sorry. He says, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lily. I will be careful." He picks one blueberry at a time and puts it in his basket. He does not squish or drop any more blueberries. + +Mom, Lily and Ben finish picking the blueberries. They go back to the house. They wash the blueberries and eat some. They are sweet and yummy. Mom says, "Good job, Lily and Ben. You picked a lot of blueberries. We can make blueberry muffins and blueberry jam later." Lily and Ben are happy. They hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love blueberries." +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park, share their toys and snacks, and whisper secrets in each other's ears. One day, they decided to pretend they were getting married, like they saw in a movie. They found some flowers, a ring, and a veil, and went to the big tree. + +"Ben, do you want to marry me?" Lily asked, holding the ring. + +"Yes, Lily, I do. You are adorable and kind," Ben said, putting the ring on her finger. + +They hugged and kissed, and then put the veil on Lily's head. They were very happy. + +But then, Max came along. Max was a bully. He liked to tease and bother other kids. He saw Lily and Ben, and he laughed. + +"What are you doing, you silly babies? You can't get married. You are too small and dumb. Give me that ring and that veil. They are mine now," Max said, grabbing the ring and the veil from Lily and Ben. + +Lily and Ben were very sad and angry. They tried to get their things back, but Max was bigger and stronger. He pushed them away and ran off. + +"Max, you are mean and rude. Give us back our ring and our veil. They are ours, not yours. We are married, and we love each other," Lily and Ben shouted, chasing after Max. + +But Max was too fast. He got to the swings, and threw the ring and the veil over the fence. They landed in the trash can. + +"Ha ha, there. Now you have nothing. Go cry, you silly babies. You are not married. You are just friends. And not very good ones," Max said, sticking out his tongue. + +Lily and Ben stopped and looked at the trash can. They felt very sad and hurt. They had lost their ring and their veil, and their pretend marriage. They hugged each other and cried. + +But then, they heard a voice. It was Mrs. Lee, the park keeper. She had seen everything. + +"Hey, you kids. What's going on here? Why are you crying? And why are you being so mean, Max?" Mrs. Lee asked, walking over to them. + +She listened to their story, and frowned at Max. + +"Max, that was very wrong of you. You should not take other people's things, or make fun of their games. You should apologize to Lily and Ben, and help them get their ring and their veil back. And then, you should go home and think about what you did," Mrs. Lee said, sternly. + +Max looked down and mumbled an apology. He climbed over the fence and got the ring and the veil from the trash can. He gave them back to Lily and Ben, and then ran away. + +Mrs. Lee smiled at Lily and Ben. + +"Here you go, kids. I'm sorry that Max ruined your fun. But don't let him spoil your day. You can still play and pretend whatever you want. You have a very nice imagination, and a very sweet friendship. And who knows, maybe one day, you will get married for real," Mrs. Lee said, kindly. + +Lily and Ben smiled and thanked Mrs. Lee. They put the ring and the veil back on, and went back to the big tree. They hugged and kissed again, and whispered more secrets in each other's ears. They were very happy. +Lily and Mom went to the grocery to buy food. Lily liked the grocery. She saw many things she liked. She saw apples, bananas, cookies, and juice. She wanted to eat them all. + +Mom said, "Lily, stay with me. Don't run away. The grocery is big and you can get lost." Lily nodded. She held Mom's hand. She was a good girl. + +But then, Lily saw something shiny. It was a balloon. It was red and round and pretty. Lily loved balloons. She let go of Mom's hand. She ran to the balloon. She wanted to touch it. + +Mom did not see Lily run away. She was busy looking at the bread. She turned around and said, "Lily, where are you?" She did not see Lily. She did not see the balloon. She only saw many people and carts and shelves. She started to panic. She felt scared and sad. She shouted, "Lily, Lily, where are you?" + +Lily heard Mom's voice. She looked up. She saw Mom far away. She saw Mom's face. Mom looked scared and sad. Lily felt scared and sad too. She realized she was lost. She dropped the balloon. She started to cry. She shouted, "Mom, Mom, I'm here!" + +Mom heard Lily's voice. She looked around. She saw Lily near the balloons. She saw Lily's face. Lily looked scared and sad. Mom felt happy and relieved. She ran to Lily. She hugged Lily. She said, "Lily, I'm so glad I found you. Don't ever run away from me again. I love you." + +Lily hugged Mom. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I love you too. You are smart and brave. You found me." + +Mom smiled. She said, "You are smart and brave too. You stayed where you were and called me. Now, let's go home. We have enough food." + +Lily nodded. She held Mom's hand. She was a good girl. She learned a lesson. She did not want to get lost again. She was happy to go home with Mom. +Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find things. Sometimes they found worms, sometimes they found stones, sometimes they found seeds. + +One day, they found a big orange thing. It was long and thin and had green leaves on top. They did not know what it was. + +"Look, Leo, what is this?" Mia asked. + +"I don't know, Mia. Maybe it is a toy?" Leo guessed. + +They pulled it out of the dirt and looked at it. It was hard and smooth and smelled good. + +"Let's try it," Mia said. She took a bite and made a face. "It is not a toy. It is food. But it is not sweet. It is bitter." + +Leo took a bite too and agreed. "It is not good. It is yucky." + +They threw the orange thing away and ran to the house. They saw their mom in the kitchen. She was making lunch. + +"Mom, mom, we found something in the garden. It was orange and had leaves. But it was not a toy. It was food. But it was not good. It was yucky. What was it?" Mia and Leo asked. + +Mom smiled and said, "That was a carrot. It is a vegetable. Some people like it, some people don't. You don't have to eat it if you don't like it. But you can use it for something else. You can use it to dance." + +Mia and Leo looked confused. "How can we use it to dance?" they asked. + +Mom showed them. She took another carrot from the fridge and put it on the table. She turned on some music and said, "Watch me." She picked up the carrot and pretended it was a microphone. She sang and danced with the carrot. She looked funny and happy. + +Mia and Leo laughed and clapped. They wanted to try too. They ran back to the garden and found the carrot they threw away. They cleaned it and brought it to the kitchen. They took turns singing and dancing with the carrot. They had fun. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was glad they found a new way to enjoy the unknown vegetable. She joined them and they all danced with the carrot. +Tim and Amy were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with green grass. They wanted to go up the hill and roll down. + +"Let's go, Tim!" Amy said. "It looks fun!" + +"OK, Amy!" Tim said. "But be careful. The grass is slippery." + +They ran up the hill and lay down on the grass. They rolled down the hill, laughing and screaming. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They rolled and rolled until they reached the bottom. + +But when they got up, they saw that their clothes were dirty. They had grass stains and mud on their shirts and pants. They looked at each other and felt ashamed. + +"Oh no, Tim!" Amy said. "We are so dirty! What will Mom say?" + +"I don't know, Amy!" Tim said. "She will be mad at us!" + +They heard Mom calling them from the bench. She had a basket with snacks and drinks. She wanted them to come and eat. + +"Tim! Amy! Come here!" Mom said. "It's time for a break!" + +Tim and Amy looked at the hill and then at Mom. They had to choose. Should they go to Mom and show her their dirty clothes? Or should they stay on the hill and play some more? + +They decided to go to Mom. They knew they had to tell her the truth. They hoped she would not be too angry. They walked slowly to the bench, holding hands. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Tim said. "We rolled down the hill and got dirty." + +Mom looked at them and smiled. She was not mad. She was happy that they had fun. + +"It's OK, Tim," Mom said. "It's OK, Amy. I'm glad you enjoyed the hill. You can wash your clothes later. Now, come and have some snacks. You must be hungry." + +Tim and Amy hugged Mom and thanked her. They felt relieved and happy. They ate their snacks and drank their juice. They told Mom about their adventure on the hill. Mom listened and laughed. She was proud of them for being brave and honest. She loved them very much. +Jen and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Jen has a new toy. It is a navy boat. It can float on water and make sounds. + +"Look, Sam, I have a new toy. It is a navy boat. Do you want to play with it?" Jen asks. + +Sam nods. He likes boats. He wants to see the navy boat. "Yes, Jen, I want to play with it. Can you show me how it works?" he says. + +Jen smiles. She takes Sam to the bathroom. She fills the tub with water. She puts the navy boat in the water. She pushes a button. The navy boat makes a loud sound. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" It sounds like a gun. + +Sam is scared. He does not like the sound. He covers his ears. He cries. "Jen, stop it! Stop it! It is too loud! It hurts my ears!" he says. + +Jen does not stop. She thinks the sound is fun. She laughs. She pushes the button again. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" The navy boat makes more sounds. + +Sam is very scared. He runs out of the bathroom. He trips on the rug. He falls down. He hits his head on the floor. He bleeds.

He bounces high and low, fast and slow. He bounces all the time. + +One day, Ben has to go to school. He does not want to go. He wants to bounce. But Mom says he has to go. She says he has a test. A test is when the teacher asks you questions and you have to answer. Ben does not like tests. He thinks they are hard and boring. + +At school, Ben sits at his desk. The teacher gives him a paper with pictures and words. He has to match the pictures and words. He looks at the paper. He does not know some of the words. He feels sad and scared. He wishes he could bounce. + +He looks around. He sees a ball on the floor. It is red and shiny. He wants to play with it. He thinks maybe he can bounce it. He gets up from his desk.

This is not play time. This is test time. You have to do your test. This is serious. Put the ball down and go back to your desk." + +Ben feels bad. He does not want to make the teacher angry. He does not want to be in trouble. He puts the ball down. He goes back to his desk. He looks at the paper. He tries to do his test. He hopes he can bounce later. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. They find a big pile of twigs. They want to make a house with the twigs. + +"Let's make a house for our toys," Tim says. + +"OK, but we need more twigs," Sam says. + +They look around for more twigs. They see a big tree with many twigs. They run to the tree. + +"Can we take some twigs from the tree?" Tim asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe the tree will be sad," Sam says. + +They hear a loud noise. It is a dog. The dog is barking at them. The dog is big and black. The dog is angry. + +"Run!" Tim shouts. + +They drop the twigs and run away. The dog chases them. They are scared. + +"Help!"

She sees the boys. She is worried. + +"Are you OK, boys?" she asks. + +"Yes, mom, we are OK," Tim says. + +"We were playing with twigs, but the dog chased us," Sam says. + +"Where did you get the twigs?" she asks. + +"From the pile and the tree," Tim says. + +"You should not take twigs from the tree. The tree needs them. You should ask first," she says. + +"Sorry, mom, we did not know," Sam says. + +"It's OK, boys, but next time be careful. And don't go near the dog. He is not friendly," she says. + +"OK, mom, we will," Tim says. + +They hug their mom. They are happy. They forget about the twigs and the dog. They go home. They have lunch. They play with their toys. They have fun. +Ben and Lily were playing with a big rubber ball in the park. They liked to bounce it and catch it and roll it on the grass. They had a lot of fun with the ball. + +One day, they saw a big tree with a branch that was very high. They wondered if they could throw the ball over the branch and catch it on the other side. They thought it would be a cool game. + +"Let me try first," said Ben. He took the ball and threw it as hard as he could. The ball flew in the air and hit the branch. But it did not go over. It got stuck on the branch. + +"Oh no!" said Lily. "How can we get it back?" + +Ben had an idea. He found a long stick and tried to poke the ball with it. He hoped the ball would fall down. But the stick was too short and too weak. It broke in half. + +"Let me try something else," said Ben. He found a long rope and tied one end to the ball. He pulled the rope and tried to stretch the ball off the branch. He hoped the ball would snap back. But the ball was too fragile and too old. It ripped in half. + +"Oh no!" said Ben. "We broke the ball!" + +Lily was sad and angry. She liked the ball very much. She did not want to lose it or break it. + +"Why did you do that?" she said to Ben. "You should have been more careful. You should have asked for help. You should have respected the ball." + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he had made a mistake. He had been too curious and too reckless. He had not thought about the consequences. He had not listened to Lily. + +"I'm sorry," he said to Lily. "You are right. I should have done those things. I learned a lesson today. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was sincere. She decided to forgive him. She knew that everyone makes mistakes sometimes. She also learned a lesson today. She learned to be more patient and more understanding. + +"Yes, I forgive you," she said to Ben. "But next time, let's be more careful and respectful with our toys. And let's share them and play together." + +They hugged and smiled. They threw away the broken ball and the rope and the stick. They went to look for another toy to play with. They hoped to find one that was not too high, not too weak, and not too fragile. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look at the animals. One day, they saw a big hippo in the pond. It had a fancy hat on its head and a flower in its mouth. + +"Wow, look at that hippo!" Tom said. "It is so fancy and pretty!" + +"Can we go and say hello?" Lily asked. "Maybe it wants to be our friend." + +Tom was not sure. He thought the hippo looked nice, but he also remembered what his mom told him. "Hippos are very big and strong. They can be angry and bite. You have to be careful and not go too close." + +But Lily was curious and brave. She wanted to see the hippo's hat and flower. She said to Tom, "Don't worry, I trust the hippo. It looks friendly and happy. Come on, let's go and talk to it." + +She took Tom's hand and walked towards the pond. The hippo saw them and smiled. It opened its mouth and said, "Hello, little ones. Do you like my hat and flower? I got them from a nice lady who came to visit me. She said I was the fanciest hippo in the world." + +Lily and Tom were amazed. They had never heard a hippo talk before. They said, "Hello, Mr. Hippo. We like your hat and flower. They are very fancy and beautiful. You are the fanciest hippo in the world." + +The hippo was pleased. It said, "Thank you, little ones. You are very kind and polite. Do you want to play with me? I have some fun games we can do." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They wanted to play with the hippo. They thought he was the coolest and nicest hippo in the world. They did not know that the hippo had a secret plan. He wanted to trick them and eat them for lunch. He had lied about the nice lady. He had taken her hat and flower after he had bitten her. He was not a friendly and happy hippo. He was a hungry and greedy hippo. He was waiting for the right moment to snap his jaws and gulp them down. He was not a fancy hippo. He was a scary hippo. +Sara was a thin girl who liked to run and play. She had a big dog named Max who was her best friend. Every morning, Sara and Max would hurry to the park and have fun. + +One morning, Sara and Max were hurrying to the park when they saw a big truck. The truck was loud and scary. Sara and Max stopped and hid behind a tree. They did not like the truck. + +The truck driver saw Sara and Max and smiled. He was not mean. He was nice. He had a box in his truck. He opened the box and took out a ball. He threw the ball to Sara and Max and said, "Do you want to play?" + +Sara and Max looked at the ball. It was red and shiny. They liked the ball. They came out from behind the tree and ran to the ball. They thanked the truck driver and started to play. + +The truck driver watched Sara and Max play. He was happy.

He had to count and write and think a lot. He did not want to do math today. He wanted to play with his toys and his dog. + +When his mom said it was time for math, Tom had an idea. He ran to his room and hid under his bed. He took his toys and his dog with him. He thought his mom would not find him there. + +But his mom was smart. She knew where Tom liked to hide. She came to his room and looked under his bed. She saw Tom and his toys and his dog. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you hiding under your bed?" + +Tom looked at his mom. He felt a little guilty. He said, "I don't want to do math, mom. Math is hard and boring. I want to play with my toys and my dog." + +His mom smiled. She said, "I know math can be hard and boring sometimes, but it is also important and fun. Math helps you learn and grow and solve problems. Math can also be a game. Do you want to play a math game with me?" + +Tom was curious. He said, "A math game? What kind of math game?" + +His mom said, "A math game where we use your toys and your dog to count and add and subtract. For example, how many toys do you have under your bed? How many toys do you have if you give one to your dog? How many toys do you have left if you take away two?" + +Tom thought that sounded interesting. He said, "Okay, mom. I will play a math game with you. But can we also play with my toys and my dog after?" + +His mom said, "Of course, Tom. We can play with your toys and your dog after. But first, let's do some math. Come out from under your bed and let's start." + +Tom came out from under his bed. He was not lonely anymore. He was happy. He did some math with his mom and then played with his toys and his dog. He learned that math can be hard and boring, but also important and fun. He also learned that hiding is not a good way to avoid math. He decided to do math every day with his mom and his toys and his dog. +Lily and Sam love to go to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They like to see the big and small animals, and hear the noises they make.

They wonder what is in the box. + +When they get to the zoo, Mom and Dad take them to a special place. They see a sign that says "Rare Animals". They see some animals they have never seen before, like a panda, a koala, and a sloth. They are very cute and soft. Mom and Dad say they can open the box now. Lily and Sam tear off the bow and the paper. Inside the box, they find two stuffed animals. One is a giraffe, and one is a lion. They are very happy and hug them. Mom and Dad say they are special gifts, because they are rare animals too. They wrap them in their arms and thank Mom and Dad. They have a great day at the zoo with their new friends. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bus. The bus has many colors and pictures. The bus says "Circus". + +"Look, Sara, a circus!" Tom says. "Let's go and see the animals and clowns!" + +Sara and Tom run to the bus. They see a man with a hat. The man has tickets in his hand. He smiles at Sara and Tom. + +"Hello, kids, do you want to see the circus?" the man says. "I have two tickets for you. They are free. Just get on the bus and I will take you there." + +Sara and Tom are happy. They love the circus. They take the tickets and get on the bus. The man closes the door and drives away. + +But the bus does not go to the circus. The bus goes to a dark and scary place. There are no animals or clowns. There are only cages and chains. The man is not nice. He is bad. He wants to sell Sara and Tom to bad people. + +Sara and Tom are scared. They cry and scream. They want to go home. They want their mom and dad. + +"Help, help, someone help us!" Sara and Tom call. But no one hears them. No one comes. The man laughs and says, "Too late, kids, you are mine now. You should not have taken the tickets. You should not have trusted me." + +Sara and Tom are very sad. They wish they never saw the bus. They wish they never met the man. They wish they stayed in the park. They wish they listened to their mom and dad. But it is too late. They are trapped. They are alone. They are afraid. The end. +Anna liked to play with her dolls in the bathtub. She had a big doll with yellow hair and a small doll with brown hair. She pretended they were sisters who went to the beach. She used soap to make bubbles and foam for them. + +"Look, Lily, the water is so blue and shiny!" Anna said to the big doll. + +"Yes, Anna, it is very pretty. But we have to be careful not to get soap in our eyes. It hurts a lot!" Lily said to Anna. + +Anna nodded. She knew that soap was good for cleaning, but not for eyes. She used a cup to rinse the soap off her dolls. She smiled when she saw them sparkle. + +Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. It was her mom. + +"Anna, it's time to get out of the bath. You have been in there for a long time. You don't want to get wrinkly, do you?" Mom said. + +Anna frowned. She did not want to stop playing. She liked the bath. + +"Can I stay a little longer, Mom? Please?" Anna asked. + +Mom shook her head. She opened the door and saw the bathtub full of bubbles and foam. She also saw something else. She recognized it right away. It was her new soap. The one that smelled like roses and cost a lot of money. + +"Anna, what did you do? That's my soap! You used all of it!" Mom said. + +Anna looked at the soap. It was very small and thin. She did not know it was Mom's soap. She thought it was for everyone. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to make bubbles and foam for my dolls. They liked it a lot. See?" Anna said. + +She held up her dolls to show Mom. They were covered in bubbles and foam. They looked happy. + +Mom sighed. She was angry, but she also felt sorry for Anna. She knew Anna did not mean to be bad. She just wanted to have fun. + +"It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. But next time, you have to ask me before you use my soap. And you have to use less of it. Soap is not a toy. It is for washing. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Anna nodded. She understood. She felt bad for making Mom angry. She wanted to make Mom happy. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I love you. Can I give you a hug?" Anna said. + +Mom smiled. She loved Anna too. She bent down and gave Anna a hug. She felt the bubbles and foam on Anna's skin. They tickled her nose. + +"Of course, you can, Anna. I love you too. But you are very wet and soapy. You need to dry off and put on your pajamas. Come on, let's go. And be careful, don't slip. You have to walk slow." Mom said. + +Anna got out of the bathtub. She wrapped herself in a towel. She followed Mom to her bedroom. She walked slow. She did not want to fall. She was happy Mom was not angry anymore. She was happy she had her dolls. She was happy she had bubbles and foam. She was happy she had soap. Even if it was Mom's soap. +Tom and Sue were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a stream near their house. The stream had clear water and many fish. Tom and Sue wanted to catch some fish with their hands. + +They ran to the stream and dipped their hands in the water. They tried to grab the fish, but the fish were too fast and slippery. Tom and Sue laughed and splashed each other. + +"Look, there is a big fish over there!" Tom said, pointing to a dark spot in the water. + +"Let's catch it!" Sue said, and ran to the other side of the stream. + +But the dark spot was not a fish. It was a smelly pipe that poured dirty water into the stream. The dirty water made bubbles and foam and smelled bad. + +Sue did not see the pipe. She stepped on it and slipped. She fell into the dirty water and screamed. + +"Help, help!" Sue cried. "The water is smelly and hurts my eyes!" + +Tom heard Sue and ran to help her. But the stream was too wide and deep. He could not reach Sue. He saw Sue's head go under the water and then come up again. + +"Sue, Sue, hold on!" Tom shouted. "I will get help!" + +Tom ran to their house and called their mom. Their mom came with Tom to the stream. But it was too late. Sue was gone. The dirty water had taken her away. + +Tom and Sue were separated. Tom was very sad. He wished he had never seen the stream. He wished he had stayed with Sue. He wished he could see Sue again. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in winter. They observe the snow and the ice. They make snowballs and snowmen. They slide on the ice and laugh. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a hat and a scarf. He does not play with anyone. He just observes the snow and the ice. Sam and Mia want to be his friend. + +"Hi, what is your name?" Sam asks the new boy. + +The new boy does not answer. He does not look at Sam. He just observes the snow and the ice. + +"Can you hear me?" Mia asks the new boy. + +The new boy does not answer. He does not look at Mia. He just observes the snow and the ice. + +Sam and Mia are confused. They think the new boy is rude. They do not want to be his friend anymore. They go back to their snowballs and snowmen. + +The new boy is not rude. He is deaf. He cannot hear Sam and Mia. He does not know they want to be his friend. He just observes the snow and the ice. He is lonely. +Lily was a young girl who liked school. She liked to play with her friends, draw pictures, and listen to stories. But she did not like to leave school. She wanted to stay and have more fun. + +One day, her teacher said, "It is time to go home, children. Say goodbye to your friends and pack your things." Lily felt sad. She did not want to say goodbye. She did not want to pack her things. She wanted to stay and play. + +She saw a big box in the corner of the room. It was full of toys and books. Lily had an idea. She ran to the box and climbed inside. She pulled some toys and books over her. She thought, "I will hide here and stay in school. Then I can play all night." + +But Lily did not know that the box was for donations. The teacher did not see Lily in the box. She closed the lid and taped it shut. She put a label on the box that said, "To the children's hospital." + +Soon, a man came to pick up the box. He lifted it and carried it to his truck. Lily felt the box move. She was scared. She tried to call for help, but no one heard her. She wished she had listened to her teacher and left school with her friends. She learned a hard lesson. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that could make noises and move by itself. They got the car from their grandma for their birthday, and she told them it was a very special car. + +One day, a nosy boy named Tom came to their house. He saw the car and wanted to play with it. He asked Anna and Ben if he could have a turn, but they said no. They said the car was theirs and they did not want to share it. + +Tom was angry and said, "That car is not special. It is just a toy. I have a better car at home. It is blue and shiny and has a remote control. I will give you my car if you give me your car. That is a fair price." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They did not believe Tom. They thought he was lying. They liked their car and did not want to trade it. They said, "No, thank you. We do not want your car. We love our car. It is special because grandma gave it to us. Go away and leave us alone." + +Tom was more angry and said, "Fine. You are mean and selfish. I do not want to be your friend. I will find another car to play with." He stomped away and left Anna and Ben alone. + +Anna and Ben hugged each other and smiled. They did not care what Tom said. They knew their car was special and they were happy to have it. They played with their car and had fun. They thanked grandma for their gift and said they loved her. +Lily wanted to play with the plastic cups and plates in the kitchen. She liked to pretend she was having a tea party with her dolls and stuffed animals. She asked her mom if she could use them. + +"Mom, can I play with the plastic things?" Lily said. + +"Sure, honey, you can play with the plastic things. But be careful not to break them or make a mess, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom, I will be careful. Thank you!" Lily said. She took the plastic things to her room and set up a table with a cloth and some flowers. She invited her dolls and stuffed animals to join her. + +"Hello, everyone, welcome to my tea party. I have some yummy snacks for you. Do you like spicy food?" Lily said. + +She gave each of her guests a plastic plate with a cracker and a slice of cheese. She poured some water into the plastic cups and added some red sauce from a bottle. + +"This is ketchup. It is spicy and tasty. Do you want some?" Lily said. + +She put some ketchup on her cracker and cheese and took a bite. She made a face and spit it out. + +"Yuck! This is too spicy for me. I don't like it. Do you like it?" Lily said. + +She looked at her dolls and stuffed animals. They did not say anything. They did not eat their food. They looked unhappy. + +"Maybe you don't like spicy food either. I'm sorry. I will get you something else. Do you want some cookies or fruit?" Lily said. + +She ran to the kitchen to find something else for her guests. She hoped they would not be mad at her. She wanted them to have fun at her tea party. She loved them very much. +Tim and Lily were playing with blocks in the park. They liked to build towers and houses with the blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look at my tower, Lily! It is very tall and strong!" Tim said. + +"Wow, Tim, your tower is great! But mine is more pretty and colorful!" Lily said. + +They were having fun with their blocks, until a big boy came. He was rich and had a bike and a ball. He saw Tim and Lily's blocks and wanted them. + +"Hey, you two, give me your blocks! They are mine now!" the big boy said. He was mean and rude. + +"No, they are not yours! They are ours! We were playing with them!" Tim and Lily said. They were scared and angry. + +The big boy did not listen. He grabbed some of the blocks and threw them away. He broke Tim and Lily's towers and houses. He laughed and rode away on his bike. + +Tim and Lily were sad and cried. They had lost some of their blocks. They did not like the big boy. He was bad and selfish. + +A nice lady saw what happened. She was kind and helpful. She came to Tim and Lily and hugged them. + +"Don't cry, Tim and Lily. I saw what the big boy did. He was very wrong and mean. I will help you find your blocks and build again. You are good and brave." the nice lady said. + +Tim and Lily smiled and thanked the nice lady. They liked her. She was good and friendly. + +They looked for their blocks and found most of them. They built new towers and houses with the blocks. They had fun with their blocks again. They were happy and proud. +Tim and Mia were twins who loved to sing and dance. They had a big show at school and they were very excited. They wore their best clothes and practiced their songs. + +"Are you ready, Mia?" Tim asked his sister. + +"Yes, Tim. I can't wait to go on the stage and sing for everyone," Mia said. + +They held hands and walked to the stage. They saw their teacher and their friends. They smiled and waved. + +But then they saw something else. There was a big dog on the stage. It was a filthy dog with dirty fur and muddy paws. It was barking and running around. It knocked over a chair and a microphone. + +"Oh no, look at that dog!" Tim said. "It is ruining our show!" + +Mia was scared of the dog. She wanted to run away. But Tim had an idea. + +"Come on, Mia. We can still sing and dance. We just have to urge the dog to go away," he said. + +He took a biscuit from his pocket and threw it to the other side of the stage. The dog saw the biscuit and ran after it. + +"Quick, Mia, let's go!" Tim said. + +They ran to the center of the stage and started to sing and dance. They sang louder than the dog's barks and danced faster than the dog's chases. They made everyone laugh and clap. + +They finished their show and bowed. The teacher came and praised them. + +"Tim and Mia, you did a great job! You were brave and clever. You turned a problem into a fun show. You are stars!" she said. + +Tim and Mia hugged each other. They were happy and proud. They did not mind the filthy dog anymore. They had fun on the stage. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They liked to march around the yard and pretend they were soldiers. They marched up and down, left and right, and sang a song. + +"March, march, march, we are strong and brave. March, march, march, we can save the day." + +One day, they saw a big dog in the street. The dog looked hungry and sad. Lily and Ben wanted to help the dog, but they were afraid. They remembered their mom and dad told them not to go near strange dogs. + +"Maybe we can give the dog some food," Lily said. + +"But we don't have any food," Ben said. + +"Maybe we can find some in the house," Lily said. + +They marched back to the house and looked for some food. They found some bread and cheese in the kitchen. They put them in a bag and marched back to the street. + +"March, march, march, we are kind and good. March, march, march, we can share our food." + +They saw the dog again, but he was not alone. He was with a man who looked like his owner. The man was happy to see the dog and hugged him. He thanked Lily and Ben for finding his dog and giving him food. He said his dog ran away from home and he was looking for him all day. + +"You are very brave and generous kids," the man said. "You did a good thing today. You made me and my dog very happy." + +Lily and Ben smiled and felt proud. They learned that marching is not only fun, but also healthy and helpful. They marched back to their yard and continued their game. + +"March, march, march, we are happy and proud. March, march, march, we can make a difference." +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play by the river. One day, they saw a big brown otter swimming in the water. The otter had a fish in its mouth and looked very happy. + +"Look, Kim, an otter!" Tim said. "It has a fish. I want a fish too. Let's catch one." + +"No, Tim, we can't catch a fish. That's not nice. The fish are the otter's friends. We have to listen to mom and dad. They said we can't touch the animals or their food." Kim said. + +But Tim did not listen to Kim. He ran to the river and tried to grab a fish with his hands. He splashed and shouted, but the fish were too fast and slippery. He got wet and cold and angry. + +The otter heard Tim and did not like him. The otter thought Tim was rude and mean. The otter swam to Tim and bit his finger. Tim cried out in pain and let go of the fish. The otter took the fish and swam away. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The otter bit me! It hurts!" Tim said. + +"Tim, I told you not to catch a fish. You should have listened to me and mom and dad. The otter was just protecting its food. You have to be kind and gentle to the animals. They have feelings too." Kim said. + +She hugged Tim and helped him dry his finger. She gave him a band-aid and a cookie. Tim said he was sorry and learned his lesson. He said he would never bother the otter or the fish again. He said he would listen to Kim and mom and dad. He said he liked the cookie. It was delicious. +Tom and Lily wanted to fly their kite in the park. They had a big kite with a long tail and bright colors. They ran to the field with their kite and their mom. + +"Can we fly the kite now, mom?" Tom asked. He was impatient. He wanted to see the kite in the sky. + +"Not yet, Tom. We need to find a good spot and wait for the wind." Mom said. She looked at the sky. It was blue and sunny, but not very windy. + +Lily was bored. She saw a flower on the ground. She picked it up and smelled it. It smelled nice. She saw a bee on the flower. She wanted to touch it. She poked the bee with her finger. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. The bee stung her. It hurt a lot. She dropped the flower and the bee. She ran to mom. She showed her finger. It was red and swollen. + +"Mom, mom, the bee bit me!" Lily sobbed. + +"Oh, no, Lily. You should not poke the bee. The bee was angry and defended itself. Come here, let me see your finger." Mom said. She hugged Lily and took out a band-aid from her bag. She put it on Lily's finger. She kissed it and said, "There, there. It will be better soon. Don't poke the bees again, okay?" + +"Okay, mom. I'm sorry." Lily said. She sniffed and wiped her tears. + +Tom felt sorry for Lily. He gave her his kite. He said, "Here, Lily. You can fly the kite when the wind comes. I will help you." + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother." Lily said. She smiled and hugged Tom. + +Mom smiled too. She said, "You are both good kids. I love you. Now, let's wait for the wind and fly the kite together." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big box with a sign that said "Do not open". Lily was curious. She wanted to see what was inside the box. + +"Let's open the box, Ben," she said. "Maybe there is something fun in it." + +Ben was scared. He shook his head. "No, Lily, we should not open the box. The sign says no. Maybe there is something bad in it." + +Lily did not listen. She ran to the box and pulled the lid. She opened the box. She screamed. Inside the box was a fierce animal. It had sharp teeth and spikes on its back. It growled and jumped out of the box. + +"Run, Ben, run!" Lily shouted. She dropped the lid and ran away. Ben followed her. They ran to the other side of the park. They hid behind a slide. + +The fierce animal chased them. It was angry. It wanted to bite them. It roared and ran after them. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Ben cried. They hoped someone would hear them and save them from the fierce animal with spikes. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big beetle crawling on a leaf. It had shiny black and green wings. + +"Wow, look at that beetle!" Tom said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can I hold it?" Lily asked. She reached out her hand to touch the beetle. + +"No, don't!" Tom said. "It might bite you. It has big jaws. It is a serious beetle. We have to protect it." + +Tom gently picked up the beetle and put it in a jar. He poked some holes in the lid. He gave the jar to Lily. + +"Here, you can look at it, but don't open the jar," he said. "We have to be careful with the beetle. It is a special bug." + +Lily nodded. She held the jar and watched the beetle move its legs and wings. She smiled. + +"It is a special bug," she agreed. "Thank you for protecting it, Tom. You are a good brother." +Tom and Sue were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big slide and slide down fast. But there was a mean boy who wanted the slide for himself. He pushed Tom and Sue and said, "Go away! This is my slide!" + +Tom and Sue were scared and ran away. They looked for a new place to play. They saw a big pile of leaves. They thought it would be fun to hide in the leaves and jump out. They ran to the pile and lifted some leaves to make a hidden spot. + +But the pile of leaves was not just leaves. It was also trash. There were cans and bottles and sharp things in the trash. Tom and Sue did not see them. They jumped into the pile and got hurt. They cried and screamed. They had cuts and bruises and blood. + +The mean boy heard them and came to see. He saw them in the trash and laughed. He said, "Ha ha! You are stupid! You jumped into the trash! You are dirty and smelly and ugly!" + +Tom and Sue felt sad and angry. They wanted to get out of the trash and go home. But they could not. They were stuck and hurt. They wished they had never played in the park. They wished they had never met the mean boy. They wished they had a good ending. But they did not. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big red strawberry on a plant. Lily wanted to eat it, but Ben said they should ask first. + +"Who cares?" Lily said. "It looks yummy. I want it now." + +She picked the strawberry and took a big bite. It was sweet and juicy. She smiled and said, "Mmm, this is the best strawberry ever. You should try it, Ben." + +Ben shook his head. He knew that the strawberry belonged to Mrs. Green, the old lady who lived next door. She was very kind and often gave them cookies and milk. He said, "No, thank you. I think we should put it back. Mrs. Green will be sad if she sees it gone." + +Lily laughed. She thought Ben was silly and scared. She said, "Don't be a baby. She won't notice. And if she does, she won't mind. She has many strawberries. Come on, have some. It's fun." + +She took another bite and offered the rest to Ben. Ben felt bad. He wanted to be a good friend, but he also wanted to be honest. He said, "No, Lily. I don't want it. I think we should say sorry to Mrs. Green and give her something nice. Maybe some flowers or a card." + +Lily rolled her eyes. She said, "Fine. Be boring. I'll eat it all by myself." She finished the strawberry and threw the stem on the ground. She wiped her mouth and said, "Let's go play something else." + +They ran to the swing set and forgot about the strawberry. But Mrs. Green did not. She came out to water her plants and saw the empty spot where the strawberry had been. She felt sad and angry. She knew it was Lily and Ben who had taken it. She had seen them playing in the garden before. She decided to teach them a lesson. + +She knocked on their door and asked to speak to their parents. She told them what had happened and showed them the stem. Lily and Ben's parents were shocked and ashamed. They scolded their children and made them apologize to Mrs. Green. They also made them do some chores for her as a punishment. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and embarrassed. They wished they had listened to Ben and not taken the strawberry. They learned that stealing was wrong and that they should respect other people's things. They also learned that Ben was clever and brave for telling the truth. They hugged him and said, "We're sorry, Ben. You were right. We were wrong. We won't do it again." + +Mrs. Green forgave them and thanked them for their help. She also gave them each a fresh strawberry from her garden. They tasted good, but not as good as the one they had stolen. They regretted their mistake and promised to be better friends and neighbors. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the farm with their dog, Spot. One day, they see a big field of wheat. The wheat is tall and yellow. It looks like gold. + +"Let's go and see the wheat!" Sara says. She runs to the field with Spot. Ben follows her. + +They reach the field and see many birds. The birds are eating the wheat. They make loud noises. Sara and Ben think the birds are funny. They laugh and clap. + +But the farmer is not happy. He sees the children and the dog in his field. He shouts at them. "Get out of my wheat! You are making it dirty and scaring the birds!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They do not want to make the farmer angry. They run back to the road with Spot. The farmer chases them with a stick. + +They reach the road and see their mom. She is waiting for them in the car. She sees the farmer and the stick. She is worried. + +"What happened?" she asks. "Why is the farmer so mad?" + +Sara and Ben tell her what they did. They say they are sorry. They did not know the wheat was important. + +Mom hugs them and says it is okay. She says they should not go to the wheat field again. She says the wheat is for making bread. She says the farmer works hard to keep it clean and safe. + +Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They say they will not go to the wheat field again. They say they will stretch their legs in the park instead. They say they love bread and the farmer. + +Mom smiles and says she loves them too. She says they are good children. She says they can have some bread and jam when they get home. + +They get in the car and drive away. Spot sits on their lap. He licks their faces. They giggle and pet him. They are happy. +Tom was eager to go to the park with his mom. He liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. He also liked to look at the birds, the flowers and the clouds. + +When they got to the park, Tom saw a big circle on the grass. It was made of many colors: red, blue, yellow, green and purple. Tom wondered what it was. He ran to the circle and touched it. It felt soft and bumpy. + +Tom heard a voice say, "Hello, little boy. Do you like my circle?" Tom looked up and saw a clown. The clown had a red nose, a big smile and a funny hat. He was holding a balloon. + +Tom was scared of the clown. He did not like his nose, his smile or his hat. He did not like his balloon. He felt afraid and sad. He wanted his mom. + +Tom ran to his mom and hugged her. His mom hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Tom. The clown is just trying to make you laugh. He is not mean. He is friendly." + +Tom looked at the clown again. The clown waved and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to scare you. Do you want to play with my circle? It is a rainbow. You can roll it, bounce it or spin it. It is fun." + +Tom felt curious and brave. He wanted to try the circle. He said, "Okay, clown. I will play with your circle. But can you please take off your nose, your smile and your hat? They are too big and too bright." + +The clown nodded and said, "Sure, Tom. I will take them off. They are just part of my costume. This is how I really look." He took off his nose, his smile and his hat. He looked like a normal man. + +Tom smiled and said, "You look better now, clown. You look like my dad. Can I call you dad?" + +The clown laughed and said, "You can call me dad, Tom. But I'm not your dad. I'm just a clown. Your dad is waiting for you at home. He loves you very much." + +Tom said, "I love him too. And I love you, clown. And I love your circle. Can I keep it?" + +The clown said, "Of course, Tom. You can keep it. It is a gift for you. You are a good boy. And you are very brave. You faced your fear and made a new friend." + +Tom hugged the clown and said, "Thank you, clown. You are a good man. And you are very kind. You gave me a gift and made me happy." + +Tom and the clown played with the circle for a while. They rolled it, bounced it and spun it. They had fun. They laughed and talked. They felt happy and proud. They were friends. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play games. One game they play is repeat. One twin says a word and the other twin repeats it. + +"Dog," says Ben. + +"Dog," repeats Lily. + +"Cat," says Lily. + +"Cat," repeats Ben. + +They giggle and clap. They say more words and repeat them. + +Then Ben has an idea. He says a word that Lily does not know. + +"Orange," says Ben. + +Lily frowns. She does not know what orange is. She looks at Ben. He smiles. + +"Orange," he says again. + +Lily thinks. She looks around. She sees a ball. The ball is orange. + +"Ball," she says. + +Ben shakes his head. He points to his skin. His skin is not orange. + +"Skin," he says. + +Lily nods. She knows what skin is. She touches her skin. Her skin is not orange either. + +"Skin," she repeats. + +Ben nods. He points to a fruit. The fruit is orange. + +"Orange," he says. + +Lily looks at the fruit. She sees the color. She remembers the word. + +"Orange," she repeats. + +Ben claps. He gives Lily the fruit. + +"Good," he says. "You are smart." + +Lily smiles. She peels the fruit. She shares it with Ben. + +"Yum," they say. + +They eat the fruit. They are happy. They are ready for more games. +Lily liked to observe things. She liked to look at the sky, the trees, the birds, and the bugs. She liked to see how they moved and what they did. She had a big book with pictures of many things. She liked to learn their names and sounds. + +One day, Lily found a toy car in her brother's room. It was red and shiny and had four wheels. She wanted to play with it. She pushed a button on the car, but nothing happened. She pushed it again and again, but still nothing. She was sad. She wondered why the car did not work. + +She looked at the car more closely. She saw a small door on the bottom of the car. She opened it and saw two round things inside. They looked like the things in her flashlight. She remembered that her flashlight needed those things to make light. She thought that maybe the car needed them too. + +She took the two round things out of the car and went to find her flashlight. She opened the flashlight and saw that it had two round things too. She swapped them with the ones from the car. She closed the flashlight and the car. She pushed the button on the car again. This time, the car made a noise and moved. She was happy. She had fixed the car. + +She played with the car for a while. She made it go fast and slow, left and right, forward and backward. She had fun. She was proud of herself. She had observed the car and the round things. She had learned that they were called batteries. She had been patient and tried different things. She had solved a problem. She was a smart girl. +One day, Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big hole in the ground. It was a pit. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the pit!" Sam said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Lily said. + +They climbed down the pit. It was dark and dirty. They saw some bugs and worms. They also saw something shiny. It was a coin. + +"Look, a coin!" Sam said. He picked it up and put it in his pocket. + +"Wow, you are lucky!" Lily said. + +They heard a loud noise. It was a dog. It was barking and running towards the pit. It was a big and scary dog. It wanted to get the coin. + +"Help, a dog!" Lily said. + +"Run, run!" Sam said. + +They tried to climb out of the pit. But the dog was faster. It jumped into the pit and bit Sam's leg. Sam cried out in pain. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam said. + +Lily grabbed a stick and hit the dog. The dog let go of Sam's leg and ran away. Lily helped Sam out of the pit. + +"Are you OK, Sam?" Lily said. + +"No, it hurts!" Sam said. He showed Lily his leg. It was bleeding. + +"Oh no, you need a band-aid!" Lily said. + +She took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped Sam's leg. She tried to stop the bleeding. + +"Let's go home and tell Mom!" Lily said. + +"OK, but don't tell her about the pit!" Sam said. + +They walked home, holding hands. They learned a serious lesson. They should not go into pits. They should stay away from dogs. They should listen to Mom. +Ben and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to run and jump and roll on the grass. But today, the grass was very long and wet. It tickled their legs and made them itch. + +"Mom, can you cut the grass?" Ben asked. "It is too long and we don't like it." + +Mom was busy in the kitchen. She was making a cake for Dad's birthday. She looked out the window and saw the lawn. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I can't cut the grass right now. I have to finish the cake. Maybe Dad can do it later. Why don't you play with your toys instead?" Mom said. + +Ben and Lily did not want to play with their toys. They wanted to play on the grass. They decided to cut the grass themselves. They found some scissors and a bucket in the garage. They started to snip the grass and put it in the bucket. + +They worked very hard. They cut the grass in front of the house, and then in the back. They filled the bucket many times and dumped it in the trash can. They were very proud of their work. + +"Look, Mom, we cut the grass!" Ben shouted. "We did it all by ourselves!" + +Mom came out of the kitchen. She saw the lawn. It was not cut evenly. Some parts were very short and some parts were very long. There were holes and patches everywhere. The lawn looked very bad. + +Mom was not happy. She was angry. She did not like what Ben and Lily did. + +"Ben, Lily, what have you done?" Mom yelled. "You ruined the lawn! It looks disgusting! How could you do this?" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They thought they were helping. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We wanted to cut the grass. We thought you would like it." Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She knew Ben and Lily were trying to be good. But they did not know how to cut the grass properly. They made a big mess. + +"It's okay, Ben, Lily. I know you wanted to help. But you should not cut the grass with scissors. You need a special machine for that. And you should always ask me before you do something like this. Cutting the grass is not a game. It is a job." Mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They felt bad for making Mom angry and ruining the lawn. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We won't do it again. Can we help you with the cake?" Ben asked. + +Mom smiled. She hugged Ben and Lily. + +"Sure, you can help me with the cake. That's very sweet of you. Come on, let's go inside. Maybe Dad can fix the lawn later." Mom said. + +Ben and Lily followed Mom inside. They helped her with the cake. They forgot about the lawn. They were happy to be with Mom. They hoped Dad would like the cake. And they hoped he would not be too mad about the lawn. +Ben and Lily are friends. They go to the same school. They like to play and learn together. Today, they have an exam. An exam is a test that the teacher gives them to see what they know. + +Ben and Lily sit at their desks. They have pencils and papers. The teacher says, "You have ten minutes to do the exam. Do your best and do not talk to each other." Ben and Lily nod. They start to write. + +Ben looks at his paper. He sees a question. It says, "What is the name of the animal that has a long neck and spots?" Ben knows the answer. He writes, "Giraffe". He smiles. He likes giraffes. He thinks they are funny. + +Lily looks at her paper. She sees the same question. She does not know the answer. She thinks hard. She looks around. She sees a picture on the wall. It shows a giraffe. She remembers the name. She writes, "Giraffe". She smiles. She is happy. + +Ben and Lily finish their exams. They give them to the teacher. The teacher says, "Good job, Ben and Lily. You did well. You can go and play now." Ben and Lily run to the playground. They see a slide. They climb up and slide down. They laugh. They have fun. + +They see a boy. His name is Sam. He is sad. He says, "I did not do well on the exam. I did not know the answer to the giraffe question. I wrote, 'Horse'." Ben and Lily look at him. They feel sorry for him. They say, "It's okay, Sam. Everyone makes mistakes. You can learn from them. You can do better next time. Do you want to play with us?" Sam nods. He says, "Yes, please. Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are nice friends." Ben and Lily hug him. They say, "You are welcome, Sam. You are a fine friend." They go to the swing. They swing high and low. They laugh. They have fun. +Lily and Ben love to sing. They sing all the time, at home, at school, in the park. They sing loud and happy songs, and sometimes sad and soft songs. They want to be singers when they grow up. They want to sing in the opera. + +One day, they see a poster for a talent show. The poster says: "Do you have a voice like an angel? Come and show us your talent! The winner will get a ticket to the opera!" Lily and Ben are very excited. They want to win the ticket. They want to see the opera. + +They practice every day, in their room, with a hairbrush as a microphone. They sing their favorite song, a song about stars and dreams. They sing it very well. They are ready for the show. + +On the day of the show, they go to the hall with their parents. They see many other children, with guitars, pianos, drums, and violins. They see a big stage, with lights and curtains. They feel nervous. They tremble a little. + +They wait for their turn. They hear the other children sing and play. Some are good, some are not. Some are loud, some are quiet. Some are happy, some are scared. Lily and Ben hold hands. They encourage each other. + +Finally, their name is called. They walk to the stage, with their hairbrush. They smile at the audience. They see their parents, who clap and cheer. They see the judges, who look serious and bored. They see a big clock, that shows how much time they have. + +They start to sing. They sing with all their heart. They sing their song about stars and dreams. They sing it very well. They feel happy and proud. + +But then, something bad happens. A boy in the front row starts to laugh. He laughs very loud and rude. He points at them and says: "Look at them! They are silly! They have no talent! They have no instrument! They have a hairbrush! Ha ha ha!" + +Lily and Ben hear him. They feel hurt and angry. They want to stop singing. They want to run away. They tremble a lot. + +But they don't. They are persistent. They keep singing. They sing louder and stronger. They sing with more heart. They sing their song about stars and dreams. They sing it very well. They don't care about the boy. They care about their song. + +The audience hears them. They hear their voice. They hear their song. They hear their heart. They like them. They clap and cheer. They drown out the boy. They make him quiet. + +The judges hear them. They hear their voice. They hear their song. They hear their heart. They are impressed. They smile and nod. They write down their score. They give them a high score. + +The clock stops. Their time is up. They finish their song. They bow and smile. They walk off the stage, with their hairbrush. They are happy and proud. + +They hug their parents. They hug each other. They wait for the results. They hope they win. They hope they get the ticket. They hope they see the opera. + +They do. They win. They get the ticket. They see the opera. They love it. They sing along. They have a voice like an angel. They have a talent. They have a dream. They have a hairbrush. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box that their dad brought home from his work at the university. The box was very big and had many words and pictures on it that they could not read. But they did not care. They liked to pretend that the box was a castle, or a spaceship, or a cave. + +One day, they decided to make the box into a train. They cut out windows and doors with scissors, and drew wheels and smoke with crayons. They put some pillows and blankets inside to make seats. They also found a whistle and a hat that their dad used to wear when he was a regular train driver. Lily put on the hat and the whistle, and said, "I am the driver, and you are the passenger, Max. All aboard!" + +Max climbed into the box and sat on a pillow. He said, "Where are we going, driver?" Lily looked at the pictures on the box and said, "We are going to the zoo, to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants. Choo choo!" She blew the whistle and pushed the box with her feet. + +The box started to move across the living room floor. Lily and Max were having so much fun, they did not see that the box was heading towards the stairs. The box rolled faster and faster, and Lily and Max screamed. They tried to stop the box, but it was too late. The box reached the edge of the stairs and flew into the air. + +Lily and Max stumbled out of the box and landed on the floor. They were not hurt, but they were very scared and surprised. They looked at the box, which was broken and smashed at the bottom of the stairs. They saw their dad, who had heard the noise and came running. He was angry and worried. He said, "What were you doing, kids? You could have been hurt! You know you are not supposed to play with the box from the university. It is not a regular toy. It is very important and expensive. It has a lot of books and papers inside that I need for my work. Now they are all ruined!" + +Lily and Max felt very sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We did not know. We just wanted to play. We did not mean to break the box." Their dad sighed and hugged them. He said, "I know, kids. I know you did not mean it. But you have to be more careful and listen to me. The box from the university is not for playing. It is for learning and studying. Maybe when you are older, I can take you to the university and show you what I do there. But for now, you have to play with your regular toys, okay?" + +Lily and Max nodded and said, "Okay, dad. We are sorry. We love you." Their dad said, "I love you too, kids. Now let's clean up this mess and find you something else to play with." He smiled and took them by the hand. They went back to the living room, where they found their mom, who had made them some cookies and milk. They ate the cookies and drank the milk, and felt better. They forgot about the box from the university, and played with their regular toys. They never made a train out of a box again. +Tim and Lily were very happy. They were going to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes with their things. They wanted to unpack and play. + +"Look, Lily, this is my box of sport things!" Tim said. He opened the box and took out a ball, a bat, and a glove. "Do you want to play catch with me?" + +"Yes, Tim, I do!" Lily said. She opened her box and took out a doll, a teddy, and a book. "But first, let me unpack my things too. I want to put them in my new room." + +They ran to their new rooms and unpacked their things. They put them on the bed, the shelf, and the floor. They were very proud of their things. + +"Okay, Lily, I'm ready to play catch now!" Tim said. He ran to the backyard with his ball and glove. He threw the ball to Lily. + +Lily tried to catch the ball, but it was too big for her small hand. She missed the ball and it rolled away. She ran after the ball. + +"Sorry, Tim, I can't catch your ball. It's too big for me!" Lily said. + +"That's okay, Lily. You can use my glove. It will help you catch the ball." Tim said. He gave his glove to Lily. He threw the ball again. + +Lily put on the glove and caught the ball. She was very happy. She threw the ball back to Tim. + +"Yay, Lily, you did it! You are good at sport!" Tim said. + +"Thank you, Tim. You are a good brother. I like playing with you!" Lily said. + +They played catch until Mom and Dad called them for dinner. They had a lot of fun in their new house. They were very happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to taste new things. They tasted fruits, vegetables, cheese, bread, and even some bugs. They thought tasting was fun and exciting. + +One day, they saw a big jar of honey on the kitchen table. They wanted to taste it, but their mom said no. She said it was for a special event and they had to wait. Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They thought their mom was not thoughtful. + +When their mom went to the bathroom, they decided to sneak to the kitchen and taste the honey. They climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. But the jar was too heavy and slippery. It fell from their hands and broke on the floor. The honey spilled everywhere and made a sticky mess. Ben and Lily also got hurt by the glass. They cried and screamed. + +Their mom heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. She saw the broken jar, the honey, and the twins. She was very upset and scared. She said, "What have you done? You are naughty and foolish. You could have been very sick or worse. You ruined the honey for the event. You are in big trouble." + +She took them to the bathroom and cleaned their wounds. Then she put them in their room and said they had to stay there until dinner. She said they would not get any dessert or toys. Ben and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had listened to their mom and not tasted the honey. They learned a hard lesson. +Sam and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw a big, dark cloud. It was spinning very fast and making a scary sound. + +"Mia, what is that?" Sam asked. + +"That is a tornado, Sam. It is very bad. It can break things and hurt people. We have to hide!" Mia said. + +They ran to the basement with their toys. They found their mom and dad there. They hugged them and felt safe. + +"Mom, dad, what is a tornado?" Sam asked. + +"A tornado is a very strong wind that can pick up things and throw them around. It is very harsh. Sometimes it can delay our plans or damage our house. But we are lucky. We have a basement where we can stay until it is gone." Mom said. + +"How long will it last?" Mia asked. + +"We don't know, Mia. But we have a radio that can tell us when it is safe to go out. We also have some snacks and games to keep us busy. We can make the best of it." Dad said. + +They listened to the radio and played some games. They ate some snacks and told some jokes. They waited for the tornado to pass. They hoped that everyone was okay. They were glad that they had each other. +Tom and Ben were brothers who liked to play with their toy boats. They had a big tub of water in the backyard where they could sail their boats and pretend to be pirates. Tom had a red boat and Ben had a blue boat. They also had paper hats and mustaches that they made with their mom. + +One day, they were sailing their boats in the tub when a gust of wind blew Tom's hat and mustache away. Tom was very sad and angry. He wanted his hat and mustache back. He looked at Ben and saw that he still had his hat and mustache. He felt jealous and decided to take them from him. + +"Hey, Ben, give me your hat and mustache!" Tom shouted, as he reached for Ben's head. + +"No, Tom, they are mine! You can't have them!" Ben said, as he moved away from Tom. + +Tom did not listen to Ben. He grabbed Ben's hat and mustache and put them on his own head. He felt happy and proud. He thought he looked like a real pirate. + +But Ben was very sad and angry. He wanted his hat and mustache back. He looked at Tom and saw that he had taken his hat and mustache. He felt hurt and decided to take them back from him. + +"Hey, Tom, give me back my hat and mustache!" Ben shouted, as he reached for Tom's head. + +"No, Ben, they are mine now! You can't have them!" Tom said, as he moved away from Ben. + +Ben did not listen to Tom. He grabbed Tom's hat and mustache and pulled them off his head. He felt happy and proud. He thought he looked like a real pirate. + +But Tom was very sad and angry. He wanted his hat and mustache back. He looked at Ben and saw that he had taken his hat and mustache. He felt hurt and decided to take them back from him. + +They started to fight and tug and yell. They forgot about their boats and the tub. They only cared about their hats and mustaches. They did not act like brothers. They acted like enemies. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the backyard. She saw Tom and Ben fighting and their boats floating in the tub. She was very sad and angry. She wanted them to stop fighting and share their hats and mustaches. She wanted them to act like brothers. She wanted them to be patient and kind. + +"Tom, Ben, what are you doing?" Mom asked, as she separated them. + +"Mom, he took my hat and mustache!" Tom said, pointing at Ben. + +"Mom, he took my hat and mustache!" Ben said, pointing at Tom. + +Mom shook her head and sighed. She took their hats and mustaches and put them on the table. She took their boats and put them in the tub. She took their hands and made them sit on the grass. + +"Tom, Ben, listen to me. You are brothers. You should love each other and play together. You should not fight and take each other's things. You should be patient and kind. You should share your hats and mustaches. You should sail your boats and have fun. Do you understand?" Mom said, looking at them. + +Tom and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized that they had been wrong and mean. They realized that they had hurt each other and their mom. They realized that they loved each other and their mom. They nodded and hugged each other. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We understand. We love you. We love each other. We will share our hats and mustaches. We will sail our boats and have fun. We will be patient and kind." Tom and Ben said, smiling. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She was very happy and proud. She gave them back their hats and mustaches. She let them sail their boats in the tub. She watched them play and laugh. They acted like brothers. They acted like friends. + +The moral of the story is: Be patient and kind. Share your things. Love your family. Have fun. +Tom has a toy car that he likes very much. He can make it go fast and slow, and turn left and right, with a remote. The remote has a battery inside that gives it power. Tom likes to play with his toy car every day. + +One day, Tom wants to play with his car, but the remote does not work. He pushes the buttons, but nothing happens. He looks at the remote and sees a red light. The red light means the battery is low. Tom is sad. He does not have another battery. + +He goes to his mom and asks for help. His mom says she will look for a battery, but she does not know if she has one. She tells Tom to wait in his room. Tom goes to his room and sits on his bed. He looks at his toy car and wishes he could play with it. + +Then, he has an idea. He remembers that he has a flexible snake toy that he got for his birthday. The snake toy can bend and twist in different ways. Tom thinks maybe he can use the snake toy to make his car move. He takes the snake toy and wraps it around his car. He holds one end of the snake toy and pulls it. The car moves along the floor. Tom is happy. He makes the snake toy go up and down, and left and right, and the car follows. He pretends that the snake toy is a road, and the car is driving on it. + +He plays with his snake toy and his car for a long time, until his mom comes back. She has a new battery for the remote. She puts the battery in the remote and gives it to Tom. She says he can play with his car again. Tom is very happy. He thanks his mom and hugs her. He takes the remote and the car and goes to the living room. He turns on the remote and makes the car zoom around. He also takes the snake toy with him. He likes both his toys. He thinks they are fun and flexible. He smiles and enjoys his playtime. +Tom and Mia are friends. They go to the same school. They like to play and learn together. Today, they have a quiz. The quiz is about animals. The quiz is important. The teacher says they have to study hard. + +Tom and Mia go home after school. They have their books and pictures of animals. They want to study for the quiz. But Tom sees his bike. He likes his bike. He wants to ride his bike. He says to Mia, "Let's go to the park. We can ride our bikes. The quiz is easy. We know all the animals." + +Mia shakes her head. She says, "No, Tom. We have to study. The quiz is not easy. We have to remember the names and sounds of the animals. The teacher will be sad if we do not do well. Come on, let's study." + +Tom makes a face. He says, "No, Mia. I do not want to study. I want to have fun. Studying is boring. Riding bikes is fun. Come on, let's go to the park." + +Mia and Tom are not happy. They are angry at each other. They do not know what to do. They want to be friends, but they have different ideas. They look at each other. They do not say anything. They are quiet. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. Spot liked to chase balls and squirrels and birds. He was a good dog and always came back when Ben and Lily called him. + +One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wondered what was behind it. They asked their mom if they could go and look. She said yes, but be careful and don't go too far. Ben and Lily nodded and ran to the hole with Spot. They crawled through and saw a big field with some old buildings. They looked like ancient castles, but smaller and broken. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Ben said. "Let's explore!" + +"OK, but don't touch anything. It might be dangerous," Lily said. + +They walked around and looked at the buildings. They saw some doors and windows and stairs and walls. Some were made of stone, some of wood, some of metal. They wondered who lived here and what they did. + +Spot was sniffing and barking at everything. He was curious and excited. He saw a small hole in one of the walls. He thought it might be a good place to find something to eat or play with. He ran to the hole and stuck his head inside. + +"Spot, come back!" Ben and Lily shouted. "You don't know what's in there!" + +But Spot did not listen. He wanted to see what was in the hole. He pushed his head deeper and deeper. He felt something soft and warm and wet. He licked it. It tasted like blood. He heard a loud roar. He was scared. He tried to pull his head out, but it was stuck. He whimpered and cried. + +Ben and Lily heard Spot's noise. They ran to the wall and saw his tail wagging outside the hole. They tried to pull him out, but he was too big and the hole was too small. + +"Spot, what did you do?" Ben asked. "Are you OK?" + +"Help, help!" Spot barked. "There's a monster in here! It bit my lip!" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They were scared too. They did not know what to do. They wanted to rescue Spot, but they did not want to get hurt by the monster. + +They heard their mom calling them. She had followed them to the field and saw the hole in the fence. She was worried and angry. + +"Ben, Lily, Spot, where are you?" she shouted. "Come back right now!" + +Ben and Lily shouted back. "Mom, mom, we're here! Spot is in trouble! He's stuck in a hole and there's a monster in there!" + +Their mom heard them and ran to the wall. She saw Spot's tail and heard his whimper. She saw the blood on his lip. She was scared too, but she was brave. She grabbed a big stick and hit the wall with it. She made a bigger hole and pulled Spot out. She hugged him and checked his lip. It was not too bad. She cleaned it with a cloth and kissed it. + +"Spot, you silly dog, what were you thinking?" she said. "You could have been killed by that monster!" + +She looked inside the hole and saw what the monster was. It was an old, angry cat. It had been living in the wall for a long time. It did not like visitors. It hissed and spat at them. + +"Shoo, shoo, go away!" she said to the cat. "You're not welcome here!" + +She took Ben and Lily and Spot and went back to the park. She told them they were not allowed to go to the field again. It was too dangerous and dirty. She said they should play in the park where it was safe and clean. She said they should be careful and listen to her. She said she loved them and was glad they were OK. + +Ben and Lily and Spot said they were sorry and they loved her too. They learned their lesson. They did not go to the field again. They played in the park with their dog, Spot. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. Spot liked to chase balls and squirrels and birds. He was a good dog and always came back when Ben and Lily called him. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the plants and smell the flowers. She had a special plant that she loved very much. It was a sunflower. It was big and yellow and happy. + +One day, Lily went to the garden and saw that her sunflower was gone. She felt sad and angry. She looked around and saw a boy running away with her sunflower. He had stolen it! + +"Hey, give me back my plant!" Lily shouted. She ran after the boy. The boy was faster than Lily, but he did not see a big rock on the ground. He tripped and fell. The sunflower flew out of his hands. + +Lily caught up with the boy and grabbed her sunflower. She hugged it and said, "This is my plant. You are bad. You should not steal." + +The boy looked at Lily and said, "I'm sorry. I wanted a plant too. I don't have any plants at home. My home is not normal. It is small and dark and sad." + +Lily felt sorry for the boy. She thought for a moment and said, "You can have one of my other plants. I have many plants. They are normal. They are green and pretty and happy. But you have to ask me first. You cannot steal." + +The boy nodded and said, "Thank you. You are nice. Can I have that plant?" He pointed to a daisy. + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you can have that plant. But you have to take care of it. You have to water it and sing to it and love it." + +The boy agreed and said, "I will. I will water it and sing to it and love it. And I will not steal again." + +Lily and the boy became friends. They played in the garden and shared their plants. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for new lands and animals. Lily had a cloth that she tied around her head like a bandana. Tom had a stick that he used as a sword. + +"Come on, Tom, follow me!" Lily said. She was the leader of their adventure. She was brave and dependable. She always knew where to go and what to do. Tom liked to follow her. He trusted her. + +They walked through the grass and the flowers, making their way to the big tree. Lily said there was a secret cave under the tree, where they could find treasure. Tom was excited. He hoped they would find gold and jewels. + +They reached the tree and Lily lifted a branch. She saw a hole in the ground, covered by leaves. She pulled the leaves away and peeked inside. It was dark and scary. She heard a noise. + +"Tom, I think there is something in there!" she whispered. + +"What is it?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a dragon or a snake or a monster!" Lily said. + +"Are you afraid?" Tom asked. + +Lily nodded. She was afraid. She wanted to run away. + +"Me too," Tom said. "But we are explorers, right? We have to be brave and curious. Maybe it is not a bad thing. Maybe it is a friendly thing. Maybe it is the treasure!" + +He smiled and held out his hand. + +"Will you go with me?" he asked. + +Lily looked at him. He was her friend. He was kind and dependable. He always helped her and cheered her up. She smiled and took his hand. + +"Okay, let's go," she said. + +They held the cloth and the stick and crawled into the hole. They were ready for their adventure. They were not afraid. They had each other. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and laugh. Lily wore a veil on her head. It was white and soft and long. She pretended to be a princess. + +"Look at me, Max!" Lily said. "I am a princess with a powerful veil. It can make magic!" + +Max smiled. He liked to play with Lily. He pretended to be a knight. He had a stick for a sword and a hat for a helmet. + +"I will protect you, princess!" Max said. "But be careful with your veil. It might catch on something!" + +Lily did not listen. She ran and spun and twirled. Her veil flew behind her like a flag. She felt happy and free. + +But then, something bad happened. Her veil caught on a branch. It pulled and tore. Lily stopped and cried. + +"Ow! Ow! My veil! My powerful veil!" Lily sobbed. + +Max ran to her. He saw the branch and the veil. He felt sorry for Lily. He tried to help. + +"Don't cry, princess!" Max said. "I will fix your veil. I will use my sword and cut the branch. Then your veil will be free!" + +Max used his stick and hit the branch. It broke and fell. Lily's veil was free. It had a hole, but it was still white and soft and long. + +"Thank you, knight!" Lily said. "You are brave and kind. You saved my veil!" + +Lily hugged Max. Max hugged Lily. They smiled and laughed. They forgot about the hole. They went back to playing. They were happy. +Lila and Tom were bored. They wanted to play with something fun. They saw a big box in the garage. It had a lot of stuff inside. They opened the box and took out some things. + +They found a can of paint, a brush, a rope, and a ball. They thought they could make a game with them. They tied the rope to the ball and threw it around. They dipped the brush in the paint and made marks on the wall. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, Mom came home. She saw the mess they made. She was very angry. She yelled at them and took away the stuff. She said they had to clean up everything. She said they were naughty and could not play anymore. + +Lila and Tom felt sad. They did not mean to make Mom angry. They just wanted to have fun. They tried to clean up, but the paint was dry and hard. The rope was tangled and the ball was dirty. They could not fix anything. They cried and said they were sorry. + +But Mom did not seem to hear them. She was still angry and did not hug them. She said they had to go to their rooms and stay there. She said they could not have any dinner or dessert. She said they had to think about what they did. + +Lila and Tom went to their rooms. They felt hungry and lonely. They wished they had not played with the stuff. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they could say sorry again. But they could not. They had a bad day. +Ben and Lily were playing in the backyard. They had a big box that they pretended was a rocket. They put stickers and crayons on it to make it look like a real rocket. + +"Ready for blast off?" Ben asked Lily. + +"Yes, let's go to the moon!" Lily said. + +They climbed inside the box and counted down. "Five, four, three, two, one, lift off!" They shouted and made loud noises. + +They imagined they were flying through the sky and seeing stars and planets. They had so much fun. + +But then, they heard a loud sound. It was raining. The raindrops fell on the box and made it wet. The stickers and crayons started to peel off and drip. + +"Oh no, our rocket is ruined!" Ben said. + +Lily looked sad. She liked their rocket. + +But then, they saw their mom coming out of the house. She had a big smile and an umbrella. + +"Hello, astronauts!" She said. "You look like you had a great adventure. Come on, let's go inside and have some hot chocolate. You're welcome to use the box again when it's dry." + +Ben and Lily smiled. They grabbed their mom's hand and followed her inside. They still liked their rocket, even if it was wet. They knew they could play with it again another day. +Tom and Lily liked to play pretend. They liked to pretend they were animals, or pirates, or superheroes. One day, they decided to pretend they were lions. They put on their yellow and brown clothes, and made some ears and tails out of paper. They crawled on the floor and made loud noises. + +"Roar!" said Tom. "I am the king of the lions. I am strong and brave and fast." + +"Roar!" said Lily. "I am the queen of the lions. I am smart and kind and pretty." + +They had fun chasing each other, and jumping on the sofa, and hiding behind the curtains. They pretended they were hunting for food, or fighting other animals, or taking care of their cubs. + +But then, they heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She looked at them with a serious face. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You are making a lot of noise. And you are making a mess. Look at all the paper and the clothes on the floor. You need to clean up." + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They did not want to stop playing. They did not want to clean up. They wanted to be lions. + +They looked at each other, and then they looked at their mom. They had an idea. They opened their mouths and said: + +"Roar!" + +They hoped their mom would laugh and play with them. They hoped their mom would pretend she was a lion too. They hoped their mom would not be angry. + +But their mom did not laugh. She did not play. She did not pretend. She was angry. + +She said: "That is not how you talk to me. That is not how you behave. You are not lions. You are children. And you need to listen to me. I am the judge. And I say you need to clean up. Now." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They knew their mom was right. They knew they had to do what she said. They knew they had to be good. + +They said: "Sorry, mom. We will clean up. We will be quiet. We will be good." + +They took off their ears and tails, and put away their clothes. They picked up the paper, and threw it in the trash. They hugged their mom, and said they loved her. + +Their mom smiled. She hugged them back, and said she loved them too. She said: "You can play pretend, but you have to follow the rules. You have to be respectful, and careful, and helpful. You have to be good children. And sometimes, you have to be good lions too." + +She tickled them, and made a soft noise. + +"Purr!" +Tom and Sue are going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They want to see many animals. They pack some food and water in a bag. They also pack a ball and a book. + +At the zoo, they see lions, monkeys, birds, and snakes. They like them all. But they like the pandas best. The pandas are black and white and very cute. They eat bamboo and roll on the grass. Mom says pandas are rare. That means there are not many of them. + +Tom and Sue go near the panda cage. They want to say hello. They see a sign that says "Do not feed the animals". They do not understand. They think the pandas are hungry. They take out some food from their bag. They throw it to the pandas. + +"Stop!" a zookeeper shouts. He runs to the cage. He is angry. He says the food is bad for the pandas. He says the pandas can get sick. He says Tom and Sue are naughty. He takes their food away. + +Tom and Sue are sorry. They did not know. They cry. Mom and Dad hug them. They say they are sorry too. They say they should have read the sign. They say they should have listened to the zookeeper. They say they love the pandas and want them to be healthy. + +The zookeeper is not angry anymore. He says he understands. He says he loves the pandas too. He says they are rare and precious. He says he will show Tom and Sue how to feed the pandas the right way. He says he will teach them more about the pandas. + +Tom and Sue are happy again. They say thank you to the zookeeper. They say they want to learn more. They say they want to be friends with the pandas. They say they will be careful next time. They say they love the zoo. +Lila and Leo are twins. They like to play with toys and books. They have many toys and books in their room. But they do not like to share. They always want the same toy or book. + +One day, Mom gives them a big box. She says it is a gift for them. They are happy and excited. They open the box together. Inside the box, they see two cool bikes. One bike is red and one bike is blue. They are the same size and shape. + +Lila and Leo both want the red bike. They both say, "I want the red bike!" They start to fight and pull the bike. Mom says, "Stop! You have to share. You are twins. You have two bikes. You can take turns or trade." + +Lila and Leo think for a moment. They look at the bikes. They look at each other. They both like red and blue. They both want to ride the bikes. They both want to have fun. + +Lila says, "I will give you the red bike, Leo. You can have it first. Then you can give me the blue bike. I will have it next. Then we can trade again." + +Leo says, "OK, Lila. That is a good idea. Thank you for giving me the red bike. I will give you the blue bike later. Then we can trade again." + +Lila and Leo smile and hug. They say, "We love you, twin!" They take their bikes and go outside. They ride their bikes and have fun. They share and trade. They are happy and cool. Mom is proud and happy too. She says, "You are good twins!" +Tom was a brave knight. He had a big sword and a shiny helmet. He liked to fight dragons and save princesses. He was proud of his sword and his helmet. + +One day, he saw a big dragon near the castle. The dragon was red and angry. It breathed fire and roared. Tom ran to his horse and took his sword. He wanted to fight the dragon and save the castle. + +He rode his horse fast and shouted, "Go away, dragon! I am a brave knight and I have a big sword!" The dragon saw Tom and laughed. It breathed more fire and flew in the air. Tom dodged the fire and followed the dragon. + +The dragon landed on a hill and waited for Tom. Tom got off his horse and ran up the hill. He raised his sword and said, "I will make you go away, dragon!" The dragon opened its mouth and showed its teeth. Tom swung his sword and hit the dragon's nose. + +The dragon cried and shook its head. Tom smiled and said, "Ha! I hurt you, dragon! You are not so strong!" He swung his sword again and tried to hit the dragon's eye. But he did not see a rock on the ground. He stepped on the rock and slipped. He fell down and dropped his sword. + +The dragon saw Tom fall and smiled. It picked up Tom's sword with its claw and said, "Ha! You dropped your sword, knight! You are not so brave!" It threw Tom's sword far away and flew in the air. It laughed and said, "Bye bye, knight! I will come back another day!" + +Tom got up and looked for his sword. He could not find it. He felt sad and angry. He lost his sword and his helmet. He did not fight the dragon and save the castle. He was not proud of himself. He walked back to his horse and said, "I am sorry, horse. I am not a good knight. I slipped and lost my sword." His horse nuzzled his cheek and said, "It's okay, Tom. You tried your best. You are still my friend. Maybe next time you will win." Tom hugged his horse and said, "Thank you, horse. You are a good friend. Maybe next time I will be more careful and not slip." He rode his horse back to the castle and hoped to find a new sword and a new helmet. He still wanted to be a brave knight and fight dragons and save princesses. He still wanted to be proud of himself. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. Lily has a fragile egg in her pocket. She found it in the grass. She thinks it is a bird egg. + +"Look, Tom, I have an egg!" Lily says. She shows him the egg in her pocket. + +"Wow, Lily, that is a nice egg!" Tom says. "But be careful, it is fragile. It can break." + +"I know, Tom, I am careful. I do not want to break the egg. I want to see the bird come out." Lily says. She puts the egg back in her pocket. + +They play some more. They slide, swing and run. But then, Lily trips and falls. She feels something wet and sticky in her pocket. She cries. + +"Ouch, ouch, ouch! My egg, my egg!" Lily says. She takes out the egg from her pocket. It is broken. She sees yellow and white inside. She sees no bird. + +"Oh, Lily, I am sorry. Your egg is broken." Tom says. He hugs her. + +"It is okay, Tom. It was not a bird egg. It was a chicken egg. I do not know why it was in the grass. Maybe someone left it there." Lily says. She wipes her tears. + +"Maybe, Lily. Maybe. But do not be sad. We can find another egg. Or we can play with something else. Come on, let's go." Tom says. He takes her hand. + +They go to the sandbox. They make a castle with sand. They forget about the egg. They are happy. +Anna and Ben love to play at the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a small, furry kitten under a tree. The kitten is black and white and has blue eyes. + +"Look, a kitten!" Anna says. "Can we pet it?" + +"OK, but be gentle," Ben says. They walk slowly to the kitten and reach out their hands. The kitten looks at them and meows. + +"Hello, kitten. You are so cute," Anna says. She strokes the kitten's head and back. The kitten purrs and rubs against her hand. + +"Can we take it home?" Ben asks. He picks up the kitten and holds it close. The kitten snuggles in his arms. + +"No, we can't," Anna says. "The kitten belongs to someone. Maybe it has a collar with a name and a phone number." + +They look at the kitten's neck, but they do not see a collar. They do not know what to do. + +"Maybe we can ask someone at the park," Ben says. "Maybe they know the kitten's owner." + +They look around, but they do not see anyone. The park is empty. They are alone with the kitten. + +"Let's go to the bench and wait," Anna says. "Maybe someone will come soon." + +They walk to the bench and sit down. They put the kitten on their lap and pet it. The kitten is happy and sleepy. + +They wait and wait, but no one comes. They start to feel hungry and thirsty. They want to go home, but they do not want to leave the kitten. + +"What should we do?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know," Anna says. + +They look at the kitten and sigh. The kitten is naughty. It has made them stay at the park for too long. But they also love the kitten. It has made them smile and laugh. They do not want to say goodbye to the kitten. They are in a big problem. +Lily liked to stir things. She stirred her soup, her milk, her paint. She stirred with spoons, forks, brushes. She stirred fast and slow, hard and soft, loud and quiet. She thought stirring was fun. + +One day, Lily found a big jar in her bedroom. It was shiny and red and had a label that said "Do not open". Lily was curious. She wanted to see what was inside. She opened the jar and saw a white powder. She smelled it and sneezed. She touched it and felt cold. She decided to stir it. + +She took a spoon from her toy kitchen and scooped some powder. She stirred it in the air, on the floor, on the bed. She stirred it on her doll, her teddy, her book. She stirred it on her hair, her face, her clothes. She stirred and stirred and stirred. + +She did not hear her mom calling her name. She did not see her mom opening the door. She did not notice her mom's face turning pale. She did not feel her mom grabbing her and running out of the room. She did not know that the powder was dangerous. She did not know that the powder was making smoke and fire. She did not know that the powder was burning her bedroom. + +Lily stopped stirring. She started crying. She was scared and hurt and confused. She wished she had not opened the jar. She wished she had not stirred the powder. She wished she had listened to her mom. She was not grateful. She was sorry. +Sara likes to make models with her blocks. She has many blocks of different colors and shapes. She can make houses, cars, animals and more. She is very good at making models. + +One day, Sara wants to make a model of a big rocket. She needs many blocks to make the rocket. She looks for the blocks in her toy box, but she cannot find enough. She sees that her brother Ben has some blocks on his bed. She wants to use his blocks for her rocket. + +She goes to Ben and says, "Please, can I have some of your blocks? I want to make a rocket model. It will be very bright and nice." + +Ben is reading a book. He does not want to give his blocks to Sara. He says, "No, these are my blocks. You have your own blocks. Go away." + +Sara feels sad and angry. She says, "But I need more blocks for my rocket. Please, please, please, let me have some. I will give them back to you later." + +Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, no, no, these are mine. You cannot have them. Go away." + +Sara does not listen to Ben. She grabs some of his blocks and runs to her room. She adds them to her rocket model. She makes the rocket very big and bright. She is happy with her model. + +Ben sees that Sara took his blocks. He is very mad. He runs to her room and shouts, "Hey, you took my blocks! Give them back to me now!" + +Sara says, "No, these are my blocks now. You did not share with me. Go away." + +Ben and Sara start to fight over the blocks. They pull and push and yell. They make a big mess in the room. They break some of the blocks and the rocket model. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the room. She sees Ben and Sara fighting and the broken blocks and model. She is very upset. She says, "Stop it, both of you! What are you doing? Why are you fighting over the blocks? Why did you break the model?" + +Ben and Sara stop fighting. They look at Mom and the broken blocks and model. They feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Sara. Sorry, Ben." + +Mom says, "You should not take things without asking. You should share and play nicely. You should not break things that are not yours. You should say please and thank you. You should be kind and respectful." + +Ben and Sara nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. We understand. We will do better." + +Mom says, "Good. Now, help me clean up this mess. Then, you can try to fix the model together. Maybe you can make a new rocket model that is even brighter and nicer." + +Ben and Sara say, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom." + +They help Mom clean up the mess. Then, they work together to fix the model. They use their blocks and some of Ben's stickers and some of Sara's glitter. They make a new rocket model that is very big and bright and nice. They are proud of their model. + +They show Mom their model. Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "Wow, what a beautiful rocket model! You did a great job. I am proud of you. You are good siblings." + +Ben and Sara smile and hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom." + +They love their model and each other. They are happy. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big object that looked like a house, but it was very old and broken. It had many holes and cracks, and some plants were growing on it. + +"Let's go inside and see what's there," Ben said. He was curious and brave. + +"No, it's scary and dirty," Mia said. She was careful and shy. "Maybe there are bugs or rats or ghosts inside." + +Ben did not listen to Mia. He ran to the object and climbed through a hole. Mia followed him, but she was afraid. + +Inside, it was dark and dusty. There were many things that they did not know what they were. Some were shiny, some were soft, some were hard. Ben picked up a shiny thing that looked like a coin. He put it in his mouth and tried to eat it. + +"Ben, don't do that!" Mia shouted. "That's not food, that's an ancient thing. It might be bad for you." + +But it was too late. Ben felt a sharp pain in his mouth. He spit out the shiny thing and saw blood on it. He started to cry. + +Mia ran to him and hugged him. She was sorry for him. She helped him get out of the object and find their mom. Their mom was angry and worried. She took them to the doctor. The doctor looked at Ben's mouth and gave him a band-aid and a lollipop. + +"Next time, don't eat things that you don't know what they are," the doctor said. "Especially not ancient things. They might be dangerous or dirty or poisonous." + +Ben nodded. He learned his lesson. He did not want to eat ancient things anymore. He only wanted to eat food. He shared his lollipop with Mia. Mia smiled. She was happy that Ben was okay. They hugged and said sorry to each other. They decided to play with their toys instead of the object. They had fun and were safe. +Tim and Mia are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go, Mia!" Tim says. "It will be fun!" + +"OK, Tim!" Mia says. "But we have to be back soon. Mom said we have to return before dark." + +They ride their bikes up the hill. It is hard, but they are strong. They reach the top and see a big park. There are swings, slides, and a pond. They are happy. + +"Wow, look at all the things we can do!" Tim says. "Let's go to the pond first. Maybe we can see some ducks." + +"OK, Tim!" Mia says. "But we have to watch the time. Mom will be mad if we are late." + +They go to the pond and see some ducks. They feed them some bread. The ducks are friendly. They quack and swim. Tim and Mia laugh. + +They have so much fun that they forget the time. The sun starts to go down. The sky becomes light pink and purple. The park becomes dark and quiet. + +"Tim, look!" Mia says. "It is getting dark. We have to go back now. Mom will be worried." + +"Oh no, you are right!" Tim says. "We have to hurry. Maybe Mom will not notice." + +They get on their bikes and ride down the hill. It is faster, but it is also scary. They can't see very well. They hope they don't get lost. + +They finally reach their house. They see Mom waiting for them at the door. She looks angry. + +"Tim, Mia, where have you been?" Mom says. "I have been looking for you. It is past your bedtime. You are in big trouble." + +"Sorry, Mom," Tim and Mia say. "We went to the park on the other side of the hill. We lost track of time. We didn't mean to be late." + +Mom sighs. She is glad they are safe, but she is also upset. She gives them a hug and a kiss. + +"Come inside," Mom says. "You need to have a bath and go to bed. And tomorrow, you will have a lecture. You have to listen to me when I tell you to return before dark. It is dangerous to be out when it is dark. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom," Tim and Mia say. "We understand. We are sorry. We love you." + +Mom smiles. She loves them too. She hopes they will learn from their mistake. She takes them inside and helps them get ready for bed. She tucks them in and says good night. + +"Good night, Mom," Tim and Mia say. "Good night, Tim," Mia says. "Good night, Mia," Tim says. + +They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of the park and the ducks. They hope they can go back someday. But only when it is light. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the park. It is pink and has a bow on it. + +"Wow, what is in the box?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Sam says. + +They run to the box and pull the bow. The box opens and they see a lot of toys inside. There are dolls, cars, books, balls, and more. + +"Look, this is for me!" Lily says. She picks up a doll with a pink dress and long hair. She hugs the doll and smiles. + +"And this is for me!" Sam says. He picks up a car with big wheels and a loud horn. He makes the car go vroom and beep. + +They are very happy with their toys. They play with them for a long time. Then they hear a voice. + +"Hey, that's my box! Give it back!" The voice is angry and loud. + +They look up and see a boy. He is bigger than them and has a mean face. He is wearing a pink shirt and a pink hat. + +"Who are you?" Lily asks. + +"I'm Max. That's my box. My mom gave it to me for my birthday. You took it from my house. Give it back now!" Max says. + +Lily and Sam are scared. They don't want to give back their toys. They like them a lot. + +"But we found it in the park. We didn't know it was yours. We're sorry," Sam says. + +"Too bad. It's mine. Give it back or I'll make you," Max says. He walks towards them and reaches for the box. + +Lily and Sam don't know what to do. They hold their toys tight and back away. They wish they had a friend to help them. + +Then they hear another voice. + +"Hey, leave them alone!" The voice is brave and strong. + +They look up and see a girl. She is bigger than Max and has a nice face. She is wearing a pink dress and a pink bow. + +"Who are you?" Max asks. + +"I'm Mia. I live in the park. I saw you take the box from your house. You were mean to your mom. You didn't say thank you. You didn't share. You don't deserve the box. Give it to them. They are nice and they share. They deserve the box," Mia says. + +Max is surprised. He doesn't like Mia. He doesn't like what she says. He doesn't want to give the box to Lily and Sam. + +"No, it's mine. Go away," Max says. + +Mia shakes her head. She walks towards Max and pushes him. He falls to the ground and drops the box. + +"Ow, that hurts. Stop it," Max says. + +Mia picks up the box and gives it to Lily and Sam. + +"Here you go. You can have the box. You can keep the toys. They are yours now. You are my friends," Mia says. + +Lily and Sam are happy. They thank Mia and hug her. They invite her to play with them. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are very kind. You are our friend too," Lily says. + +"Yes, thank you, Mia. You are very brave. You are our friend too," Sam says. + +They play with the toys and have fun. They share and laugh. They are happy. + +Max is sad. He watches them from afar. He wishes he had the box. He wishes he had the toys. He wishes he had friends. He guesses he was wrong. He guesses he was mean. He guesses he should say sorry. He guesses he should be nice. He guesses he should share. He guesses he should try. He guesses he should go. He gets up and walks away. He is sad. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big wheel in the park. The wheel is bright and colorful. It has many seats and goes round and round. + +"Wow, look at the wheel!" Lily says. "Can we go on it?" + +"Yes, let's go!" Tom says. They run to the wheel and wait in line. Soon, it is their turn. They give their tickets to the man and sit in a seat. They buckle their belts and hold hands. + +The wheel starts to move. Lily and Tom feel happy and excited. They see the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the people from the wheel. They wave and smile. + +"Look, there is our mom and dad!" Lily says. She points to the bench where their parents are sitting. + +"Hi, mom and dad!" Tom says. He shouts and laughs. + +The wheel goes faster and faster. Lily and Tom feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They have fun on the wheel. They are glad they are friends. +Sara and Tom are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have a big toy house in the garden. They pretend to be a family. + +One day, Sara and Tom are playing in the toy house. Sara is the mom and Tom is the dad. Sara makes coffee for Tom with water and mud. She puts it in a cup and gives it to him. + +"Here, dad, drink your coffee. It is hot and good," Sara says. + +Tom takes the cup and pretends to sip it. He makes a face and says, "Yuck, this coffee is bad. It tastes like dirt." + +Sara laughs and says, "It is not bad, dad. It is pretend coffee. You have to use your imagination." + +Tom says, "OK, mom, I will use my imagination. But can I have some juice instead?" + +Sara says, "Sure, dad, I will get you some juice. But be careful with the coffee. Do not spill it on the floor. It will make a mess." + +Tom says, "OK, mom, I will be careful. You are a good mom. You are dependable." + +Sara smiles and says, "Thank you, dad. You are a good dad. You are dependable too." + +She goes to the kitchen to get some juice. She leaves the cup of coffee on the table. + +But then, a cat comes into the toy house. The cat sees the cup of coffee and thinks it is milk. The cat jumps on the table and tries to drink it. + +Tom sees the cat and shouts, "No, cat, no! That is not milk. That is coffee. It is bad for you. It will make you sick." + +He runs to the table and tries to grab the cup. But the cat is faster. The cat knocks the cup over and spills the coffee on the floor. + +The coffee makes a big brown stain on the carpet. The cat runs away. + +Sara comes back with the juice and sees the mess. She says, "Oh no, dad, what happened? Who spilled the coffee?" + +Tom says, "I am sorry, mom. It was the cat. The cat thought it was milk. I tried to warn the cat, but it was too late." + +Sara says, "Oh, dad, that is OK. It was not your fault. The cat was naughty. But we have to clean the mess. We do not want to get in trouble." + +Tom says, "OK, mom, let us clean the mess. We have to work together. We are a team." + +Sara and Tom get some towels and wipe the coffee off the floor. They make the carpet look clean again. + +They hug each other and say, "We did it, dad. We did it, mom. We are dependable. We are best friends." +Mia and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They also liked to look for treasures in the grass and the sand. One day, they found something shiny and pretty. It was a green jewel. + +"Wow, look at this!" Mia said, holding the jewel in her hand. "It is so bright and sparkly. I wonder where it came from." + +"Maybe it fell from a princess's crown," Ben said, gazing at the jewel with wide eyes. "Or maybe it is magic and can grant wishes." + +"Let's make a wish then," Mia said. "I wish for a big ice cream cone with sprinkles." + +"I wish for a new bike with a bell," Ben said. + +They closed their eyes and wished hard. Then they opened them and looked around. But nothing happened. The jewel was still in Mia's hand, and there was no ice cream or bike in sight. + +"Maybe it is not a magic jewel," Mia said, feeling sad. "Maybe it is just a pretty stone." + +"Or maybe we need to say a magic word," Ben said, feeling hopeful. "Maybe we need to say 'please' or 'abracadabra' or something." + +They tried different words, but nothing worked. The jewel was still just a jewel. + +"Maybe we should give it back," Mia said, feeling sorry. "Maybe someone is looking for it and misses it. Maybe it belongs to someone who needs it more than we do." + +"Maybe you are right," Ben said, feeling kind. "But where can we find the owner?" + +They looked around the park, but they did not see anyone who looked like they had lost a jewel. They decided to ask the park ranger, who was sitting on a bench nearby. + +"Excuse me, sir," Mia said, walking up to him with Ben. "We found this green jewel in the grass. Do you know who it belongs to?" + +The park ranger looked at the jewel and smiled. He recognized it right away. It was his daughter's necklace pendant. She had lost it the day before and was very upset. + +"Why, yes, I do," he said, taking the jewel from Mia. "This is my daughter's jewel. She loves it very much. She will be so happy to see it again. Thank you for finding it and bringing it to me. You are very honest and kind children." + +He gave them each a hug and a sticker. Then he called his daughter on his phone and told her the good news. She was overjoyed and thanked Mia and Ben for their help. + +Mia and Ben felt proud and happy. They had done the right thing. They did not need a magic jewel to make their wishes come true. They had each other and their friendship. That was the best treasure of all. +Ben and Mia liked to play dress up. They had many clothes and hats and shoes to try on. One day, Ben found a suit in his dad's closet. It was big and black and had a tie. Ben wanted to wear the suit and be a boss. + +"Look, Mia, I have a suit!" Ben said. "I can lead you and tell you what to do. You can be my worker." + +Mia did not like Ben's idea. She wanted to wear a suit too. She wanted to lead and not follow. She was stubborn and did not listen to Ben. + +"No, Ben, I have a suit too!" Mia said. She ran to her mom's closet and grabbed a suit. It was blue and had a skirt. Mia put on the suit and a hat. "I can lead you and tell you what to do. You can be my worker." + +Ben and Mia both wore suits and both wanted to lead. They argued and shouted and did not play. They were not happy. + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see. They saw Ben and Mia in their suits and laughed. + +"Ben and Mia, you look very funny in our suits!" mom said. "But you don't need suits to lead or work. You need to share and cooperate and have fun. Why don't you take off the suits and play something else?" + +Ben and Mia thought about it and agreed. They took off the suits and put them back in the closets. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to play pirates instead. They had swords and hats and eye patches. They both led and followed and had fun. They were happy. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. But then Lila saw a big lime on the ground. She picked it up and said, "Look, Ben, I have a green ball!" + +Ben said, "That's not a ball, Lila, that's a lime. It's sour and yucky. You can't play with it." + +But Lila did not listen. She said, "I can play with it. Watch me!" She threw the lime at Ben's car and hit it hard. The car broke into two pieces. Ben was very sad and angry. He said, "Lila, you broke my car! That was very mean and silly. Now I can't play with it anymore." + +Lila felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to break your car. Can we repair it?" + +Ben said, "No, we can't repair it. It's too broken. You should have listened to me. Now you have no car and no lime. And no friend." + +Lila started to cry. She said, "Please, Ben, don't be mad at me. I want to be your friend. Can we share your other car?" + +Ben said, "No, we can't share. You are too careless and naughty. Go away and leave me alone." + +Lila ran away, sobbing. She wished she had never seen the lime. She learned that playing with things that are not toys can hurt others and yourself. And that being silly is not always fun. +Ben is a young boy who likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He likes to shake them and make loud noises. + +One day, his sister Lily comes into his room. She is older than Ben and she likes to read books and draw pictures. She sees Ben playing with his cars and she wants to join him. She picks up a brown car and says, "Can I play with this one?" + +Ben does not like to share his cars. He says, "No, that is my car. Go away!" He grabs the brown car from Lily and shakes it hard. He says, "This is my car. It is fast and strong. You can't have it." + +Lily is sad and angry. She says, "That is not nice. You should share your toys. You have so many cars. I just want one." She tries to take the brown car back from Ben, but he holds it tight. They start to pull and push and yell. + +Mom hears the noise and comes into the room. She sees Ben and Lily fighting over the brown car. She says, "Stop it, both of you. What is going on here?" She takes the brown car from them and puts it on the shelf. She says, "You need to learn to play nicely and share your toys. No one can play with the brown car until you say sorry to each other." + +Ben and Lily look at each other. They feel sorry for making Mom angry and for hurting each other. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Lily." They hug and make up. Mom smiles and says, "That's better. Now you can play with the other cars. But remember to be kind and take turns." She gives them each a kiss and leaves them to play. Ben and Lily pick up different cars and start to zoom and crash them on the floor. They laugh and have fun. They don't fight over the brown car anymore. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big bean plant. The bean plant has many green beans. + +"Look, Tom, beans!" Sue says. "I like beans. Do you like beans?" + +"Yes, I like beans too," Tom says. "Can we pick some beans?" + +"OK, but we have to be careful. The bean plant is heavy. It can fall down," Sue says. + +They pick some beans. They put them in a basket. The basket is heavy too. They want to take the basket to the house. + +"Come, Sue, let's go to the house," Tom says.

She has a puzzle with many pieces and a picture of a farm. + +Lily says, "Let's play with my doll. She is very beautiful. She can sing and dance. You can be her friend." Ben says, "No, Lily. I don't like dolls. They are boring. Let's play with my car. It is very cool. It can go fast and make noise. You can be the driver." + +Lily and Ben start to argue. They both want to play with their own toy. They don't want to share. They say, "No, you play with mine. No, you play with mine." They get angry and loud. + +Lily's mom hears them. She comes to the room. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? You are supposed to be friends. You need to share and take turns. If you can't play nicely, you can't play at all." + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We want to play nicely. We want to be friends." Lily's mom says, "That's good. Why don't you try something else? How about the puzzle? It is fun and you can work together." + +Lily and Ben agree. They say, "Okay, mom. We will play with the puzzle. Thank you for inviting me, Lily. Thank you for coming, Ben." They go to the puzzle. They find the pieces and make the picture. They have fun and they are happy.

They are having fun. + +But then a big wave comes and washes away their sand castles. Sara and Ben are sad. They cry and hug each other. + +"Go away, wave!" Sara shouts. "You are mean and bad!" + +The wave does not listen. It comes again and again. It is persistent. It wants to play with Sara and Ben, but it does not know how to be gentle. + +Sara and Ben run away from the water. They look for a safe place to play. They see a big towel on the sand. It is soft and colorful. It belongs to their mom. + +"Let's play with the towel!" Ben says. "We can wrap ourselves in it and pretend we are caterpillars!" + +Sara likes the idea. She smiles and nods. They take the towel and wrap themselves in it. They crawl and wiggle on the sand. They giggle and laugh. + +Their mom sees them and smiles too. She comes to join them. She wraps them in a big hug and kisses them. + +"I love you, my little caterpillars!" she says. "Are you having fun?" + +"Yes, mom!" Sara and Ben say. "We are having fun!" + +They forget about the wave. They are happy and warm. They are safe and loved. +Lily loved to play princess. She had a pink dress, a shiny crown, and a big wand. She liked to pretend that she could do magic with her wand. She would wave it and say, "Bippity boppity boo!" + +One day, she found a big bowl and a spoon in the kitchen. She thought, "I can make a magic potion with this!" She looked around and saw many things that she could mix in the bowl. She saw milk, eggs, flour, sugar, salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, and more. She poured and cracked and sprinkled and squirted everything in the bowl. She stirred and stirred with her spoon. She said, "Bippity boppity boo!" + +She was very proud of her potion. She wanted to show it to her mom. She picked up the bowl and carried it to the living room. But the bowl was very heavy and the potion was very messy. It spilled and splashed on the floor and on Lily's dress. Lily slipped and fell. She felt dizzy and ouchy. She started to cry. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and Lily on the floor. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You made a big mess and you hurt yourself. You should not mix things that do not belong together. You should not play with food. You should not carry heavy things by yourself. You should ask me before you use anything in the kitchen." + +Lily felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make a magic potion. I wanted to be a princess." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You are a princess, Lily. You are my princess. But you do not need a magic potion to be a princess. You just need to be kind and careful and listen to me. That is the real magic. Can you help me clean up this mess?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I will help you. I will be a good princess." + +The moral value of the story is: Be kind and careful and listen to your parents. Do not mix things that do not belong together. Do not play with food. Do not carry heavy things by yourself. Ask before you use anything in the kitchen. +Anna loves kittens. She has a cute kitten at home. His name is Fluffy. Fluffy has soft fur and big eyes.

They wanted to help him. + +"Rex, you can come with us. We will take you to our home. We will give you food and water and a warm bed. We will be your new family.

His mom always cooked them for him in a big pan. But one morning, when Timmy woke up, he smelled something strange. He ran to the kitchen and saw a big mess. The pan was on the floor, the ketchup was spilled, and the bread was torn. And there was no sign of his mom or his sausages. + +"Mommy, where are you?" Timmy shouted. He was scared and hungry. He looked around the kitchen, but he only saw a big hole in the wall. He walked to the hole and peeked outside. He saw a big green monster with sharp teeth and claws. The monster was holding his mom in one hand and his sausages in the other. The monster saw Timmy and grinned. + +"Hello, little boy," the monster said. "Do you want some sausages? They are very tasty. I ate them from your elderly neighbor's house. He was very tasty too." + +Timmy screamed and ran back to the kitchen. He looked for something to defend himself, but he only found a spoon. He grabbed the spoon and waited for the monster to appear. He hoped his dad would come home soon and save him and his mom. But he heard the monster's footsteps getting closer and closer. He knew he had no chance. He closed his eyes and wished he had never liked sausages. +Lily and Ben liked to play with water. They had a spray bottle and a club. The club was a big stick that they found in the yard. They pretended it was a sword or a wand. + +One day, they saw an enormous bug on the wall. It had many legs and eyes and it was black and shiny. Lily and Ben were scared of the bug. They wanted it to go away. + +Lily had an idea. She said, "Let's spray the bug with water. Maybe it will fly away." Ben agreed. He gave Lily the spray bottle and he held the club. They went close to the bug. + +Lily sprayed the bug with water. The bug did not like it. It made a loud noise and moved its legs. Ben waved the club at the bug. He said, "Go away, bug! You are not welcome here!" + +The bug was angry. It jumped off the wall and flew towards Lily and Ben. They screamed and ran away. The bug chased them around the room. They dropped the spray bottle and the club. They hid under the bed. + +They waited for a long time. They hoped the bug would leave.

They pointed at the bug. They said, "Mom, there is an enormous bug in our room! We tried to spray it with water and hit it with a club, but it attacked us!" + +Their mom looked at the bug. She smiled. She said, "That is not a bug. That is a toy. It is a remote-controlled helicopter. Your dad bought it for you as a surprise. He must have left it on the wall. It is not scary. It is fun. Do you want to try it?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt silly. They said, "Sorry, mom. We did not know. Can we play with it?" + +Their mom said, "Of course. But first, let's clean up the mess. And next time, ask me before you spray anything with water or hit it with a club." + +Lily and Ben said, "OK, mom. We love you." + +They hugged their mom. They picked up the spray bottle and the club. They looked at the toy helicopter. They decided to give it a name. They called it Buzz. They were not scared of Buzz anymore.

He stops crying and smiles. "But I lost the coin." + +"That's okay, Tim," Mom says. "You can collect more coins another day. But you have to be careful. Crocodiles are not nice.

You are our sweet brother." + +Mom smiles and kisses them both. "You are both tasty for me. You are my precious children. Now let's go home and have some tasty cookies." +Anna and Ben are twins.

They feel sorry and ashamed. + +"Sorry, Mom," Anna says. + +"Sorry, Mom," Ben says. + +Mom sighs. She picks up the sandwich and throws it in the trash. She hugs Anna and Ben. + +"It's okay, my loves. I know you are hungry. But you have to share and be nice to each other. How about we make some new sandwiches together?" Mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They say sorry to each other and hug. They go to the kitchen with Mom and help her make new sandwiches. They eat them happily and thank Mom. They learn their lesson and promise to be good twins. +Anna liked to play games with her toys.

They picked up their ball and ran to the gate. But the gate was locked. They could not get out. + +They looked around and saw a big building with a tall tower. It was a church. They ran to the church and knocked on the door. But no one answered. The door was closed. + +They saw a window that was open. They climbed through the window and went inside. They saw a lot of chairs and a big cross. They saw a pile of blankets on a table. They took the blankets and covered themselves. They felt warm and safe. + +They heard a voice say, "Hello, who are you?" + +They looked up and saw a man with a white collar. He was a priest. He smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you. What are your names?" + +"I'm Lily and this is Ben. We were playing in the park and then it started to rain and thunder and lightning. We could not get out of the gate. We came here to find shelter. We're sorry we took your blankets," Lily said. + +"That's all right, my dear. You did the right thing. You can stay here until the storm is over. I'll make you some hot chocolate and call your parents. You're very brave and smart," the priest said. + +He took them to his office and gave them some hot chocolate and cookies. He called their parents and told them where they were.

It was yummy and sweet. They thanked Sara's mom and gave her a hug. + +Sara and Ollie had a lot of fun. They played and talked and laughed. They were happy to be friends. Sara said she would invite Ollie again. Ollie said he would invite Sara to the river. They said goodbye and waved. They smiled and looked forward to their next adventure. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Lily found some sugar and sprinkled it on a plate. She said, "This is a sweet cake for you, Ben. Do you want some?" + +Ben nodded and took a bite. He smiled and said, "Mmm, this is very sweet. Thank you, Lily. Do you want some water to drink?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please. Water is good for us." She walked to the sink and turned on the faucet. She filled a cup with water and drank some. She made a funny face and said, "Ew, this water is not good. It tastes like soap." + +Ben ran to the sink and turned off the faucet. He looked at the bottle next to it and saw that it was not water, but dish soap. He said, "Oh no, Lily. You drank soap. That is not good for you. You have to spit it out." + +Lily spit out the soap and started to cry. She felt sick and scared. She said, "I don't like soap. It hurts my mouth. I want Mommy." + +Ben hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry you drank soap. Mommy will help you. Let's go find her." He took Lily's hand and they ran to the living room. They saw Mommy sitting on the couch and reading a book. They screamed, "Mommy, Mommy, help!" + +Mommy heard them and looked up. She saw their faces and the soap on the plate. She said, "Oh, my poor babies. What happened?" She put down her book and took them in her arms. She said, "Did you drink soap? That is very bad. You have to rinse your mouth with clean water. Come on, let's go to the bathroom." + +She carried them to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. She gave them each a cup of water and told them to rinse their mouth and spit. She said, "This will make you feel better. Soap is not for drinking. It is for washing dishes and hands. You have to be careful with what you put in your mouth. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy. We're sorry. We won't drink soap again. We love you." + +Mommy kissed them and said, "I love you too. You are my sweet babies. Now, how about we make a real cake together? Would you like that?" + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, Mommy. We would like that very much." They hugged Mommy and followed her to the kitchen. They forgot about the soap and looked forward to the cake. They were happy again. +Lily liked to play with her toys in the bath. She had a duck, a frog, a boat and a cup. She made bubbles with the soap and splashed the water. She sang songs and pretended to be a mermaid. + +But one day, she saw something scary in the bath. It was a big, black spider. It had eight legs and two eyes. It crawled on the edge of the tub and looked at Lily. Lily was afraid of the spider. She screamed and dropped her toys. + +Mom heard Lily scream and ran to the bathroom. She saw the spider and grabbed a folder. She used the folder to scoop up the spider and throw it out of the window. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. The spider is gone. It won't hurt you." + +Lily felt better and thanked Mom. She picked up her toys and finished her bath. She dried herself with a towel and put on her pajamas. She said, "Mom, you are brave. You saved me from the spider." + +Mom smiled and said, "You are brave too, Lily. You bathed even though you saw something scary. I'm proud of you." She kissed Lily and tucked her in bed. She said, "Good night, Lily. I love you." + +Lily said, "Good night, Mom. I love you too." She closed her eyes and dreamed of happy things. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They went to the garden to find some food. They saw many radishes in the ground. They liked radishes. They pulled some radishes out and put them in a basket. + +"Let's fill the basket with radishes," Lily said. + +"OK," Tom said. "But we have to wash them first. They are dirty." + +They took the basket to the tap and washed the radishes. They saw a big pot on the stove. They wondered what was in it. + +"Maybe it is soup," Lily said. "Let's look." + +They climbed on a chair and lifted the lid. They saw hot water and bubbles. They smelled something good. + +"It is soup," Tom said. "But what kind of soup?" + +They saw a spoon next to the pot. They wanted to taste the soup. They dipped the spoon in the pot and brought it to their mouths. + +"Ow!" Lily said. "It is hot!" + +"Ow!" Tom said. "It is spicy!" + +They dropped the spoon and ran to the sink. They drank some water and felt better. + +They heard a voice behind them. + +"What are you doing?" It was Mom. She looked angry. + +"We wanted to try the soup," Lily said. + +"It is not soup," Mom said. "It is salsa. It is for the tacos. It is hot and spicy. You should not touch the pot. It is dangerous." + +"We are sorry, Mom," Tom said. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Lily said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "It is OK. I am glad you are not hurt. But next time, ask me before you touch anything on the stove. And do you know what? I have a surprise for you." + +"What is it?" Lily and Tom asked. + +Mom smiled and said, "I made some radish salad for you. It is cold and crunchy. Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom said. + +They followed Mom to the table and saw a big bowl of radish salad. They filled their plates with radish salad and ate it happily. They liked radish salad. It was not hot and spicy. It was cold and crunchy. +Ben liked to draw with his ink. He had many colors of ink: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. He drew animals, cars, flowers, and stars on his paper. He was very good at drawing. + +But Ben was lonely. He had no friends to play with. He lived far from the town, with his mom and dad. They worked on the farm all day. Ben wished he had someone to share his ink and his drawings with. + +One day, his mom said, "Ben, we are going to the town today. We need to buy some things. Do you want to come with us?" + +Ben was happy. He said, "Yes, mom, I want to come. Can I bring my ink and paper?" + +"Of course, you can, Ben. Maybe you can find someone to draw with in the town." + +Ben packed his ink and paper in his backpack. He got in the car with his mom and dad. They drove to the town. Ben saw many people, shops, cars, and buses. He was excited. + +They stopped at a store. His mom and dad went inside to buy some things. Ben stayed in the car. He took out his ink and paper. He started to draw a big house with a garden. + +He heard a voice. It was a girl. She was looking at him from the window. She said, "Hi, what are you doing?" + +Ben looked up. He saw a girl with brown hair and blue eyes. She smiled at him. She said, "I like your drawing. Can I see it?" + +Ben said, "Sure, you can. I am drawing a house. Do you like to draw?" + +The girl said, "Yes, I do. I love to draw. But I don't have any ink. I only have a pencil." + +Ben said, "I have many colors of ink. Do you want to try them?" + +The girl said, "Yes, please. Can I sit with you?" + +Ben said, "Yes, you can. Come in. What is your name?" + +The girl said, "My name is Anna. What is yours?" + +Ben said, "My name is Ben. I am happy to meet you." + +Anna said, "Me too. You are very nice. Can we be friends?" + +Ben said, "Yes, we can. I was lonely. But now I have a friend." + +They smiled at each other. They drew together with the ink. They had fun. They were not lonely anymore. +Sara likes to hop. She hops in the park, she hops in the house, she hops in the bed. She hops like a bunny, she hops like a frog, she hops like a kangaroo. She thinks hopping is fun. + +One day, Sara finds a book in her room. It has a picture of a hoppy animal on the cover. She opens the book and sees more hoppy animals inside. She sees a rabbit, a grasshopper, a cricket, a squirrel, and a mouse. She thinks the book is interesting. + +She runs to her mom and shows her the book. "Look, mom, a hoppy book!" she says. "Can you read it to me?" + +"Sure, Sara, I can read it to you," her mom says. "Let's sit on the couch and read it together." + +Sara and her mom sit on the couch and read the book. Sara learns the names of the hoppy animals and the sounds they make. She likes the book a lot. She hops with joy. "Thank you, mom, for reading me the hoppy book!" she says. "I love you!" + +"I love you too, Sara," her mom says. "You are my hoppy girl!" +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play on the farm. They had many animals, but their favorite was Molly the mule. Molly was very strong and could carry heavy things, but she was also very slow and stubborn. Sometimes she would stop and not move, no matter how much Tom and Sam pulled or pushed. + +One day, Tom and Sam wanted to go to the pond and catch some frogs. They decided to take Molly with them, so they could ride on her back. They put a saddle and a bridle on Molly and climbed on. "Come on, Molly, let's go!" Tom said, holding the reins. "We want to see the frogs!" + +But Molly did not want to go. She shook her head and snorted. She did not like the pond, because it was wet and muddy. She liked to stay in the barn, where it was dry and cozy. She dug her hooves into the ground and refused to budge. + +"Please, Molly, please!" Sam begged, patting her neck. "It will be fun, we promise! We will give you a carrot when we come back!" + +But Molly did not care. She was happy where she was. She ignored Tom and Sam and started to munch on some hay. + +Tom and Sam were getting frustrated. They did not know what to do. They looked around and saw their dad working in the field. He was driving a big tractor that made a loud noise. He was plowing the soil and making rows for the seeds. + +"Hey, dad!" Tom shouted, waving his hand. "Can you help us? Molly won't move!" + +Their dad looked up and saw them. He smiled and waved back. He drove the tractor closer to them and stopped. He got off and walked over to Molly. He stroked her ears and whispered something in her ear. + +"Molly, you have to listen to Tom and Sam," he said. "They are your friends and they want to have fun with you. The pond is not so bad, it's cool and refreshing. And there are many things to see and hear. You might even like it. But if you don't go, you will miss out on a lot of fun. And you will make Tom and Sam sad. Do you want that?" + +Molly looked at their dad with her big brown eyes. She liked their dad, he was kind and gentle. He always gave her food and water and brushed her fur. He also warned her about the dangers on the farm, like the electric fence and the sharp tools. He knew what was best for her. She nodded her head and made a soft noise. + +"That's a good girl," their dad said, smiling. "Now, let's go to the pond. I'll come with you and show you the way. And don't worry, I'll bring you a carrot when we come back." + +Tom and Sam cheered and thanked their dad. They got back on Molly and followed their dad to the pond. Molly trotted along, feeling curious and excited. She wondered what the pond was like and what frogs looked like. She hoped they would be friendly and not bite her. She was glad she listened to their dad and gave Tom and Sam a chance. She realized that sometimes, it was good to try new things and have fun. She was a happy mule. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jar on the shelf. The jar had cookies inside. Tom and Lily loved cookies. + +"Let's get the jar," Tom said. "We can have some cookies." + +"OK," Lily said. "But be careful. The jar is heavy." + +Tom climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. He was clumsy. He dropped the jar on the floor. The jar broke. The cookies spilled out. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Lily said. "We made a mess." + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the broken jar and the cookies. She was not happy. + +"Tom and Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked. "You should not touch the jar. It is not yours." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They knew they did something bad. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Tom said. "We wanted some cookies. We did not mean to break the jar." + +Mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She loved Tom and Lily. + +"I accept your sorry," Mom said. "But you have to learn to ask before you take something. And you have to be more careful. You could have hurt yourself." + +"Yes, Mom," Tom and Lily said. "We will ask next time. And we will be more careful." + +Mom hugged Tom and Lily. She gave them each a cookie. + +"Here, you can have one cookie each," Mom said. "But no more. You have to eat your lunch first." + +"Thank you, Mom," Tom and Lily said. They ate their cookies. They were happy. They helped Mom clean up the mess. They learned their lesson. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they see a man in a blue suit. He has a big smile and a shiny badge. + +"Hello, children," the man says. "I am a police officer. Do you know what I do?" + +Lily and Ben shake their heads. They are curious. + +"I help people who are in trouble. I catch bad guys and keep everyone safe. Do you want to see my car?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They follow the man to his car. It is also blue and has lights and a siren. + +"Wow!" Lily says. "Can we sit inside?" + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't touch anything," the man says. He opens the door and lets them in. + +Lily and Ben sit on the seats and look at the buttons and the radio. They feel like they are in a movie. + +"Can you make the siren go?" Ben asks. + +"Only if there is an emergency," the man says. "But I can show you how it works." He presses a button and the siren makes a loud noise. + +Lily and Ben cover their ears and giggle. They think it is fun. + +"Thank you for showing us your car," Lily says. + +"Yes, thank you," Ben says. + +"You're welcome, children," the man says. "It was nice to meet you. Do you want a hug?" + +Lily and Ben smile and hug the man. They like him. He is kind and friendly. + +"Bye, officer," they say. + +"Bye, Lily and Ben. Have a good day," the man says. He waves and drives away. + +Lily and Ben run back to the park. They tell their moms about the man in the blue suit. They are happy. They learned something new. They made a new friend. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over them. They want the same toy and they do not share. + +One day, they see a big box in the living room. It has a bow on it. It is a gift from their grandma. They are excited. They run to the box and open it. Inside, they find a big train set. It has many tracks and cars and a station. It looks fun. + +But then they start to argue. Ben wants to build the tracks his way. Mia wants to build them her way. They pull and push and yell. They break some of the tracks. They make a mess. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She is not happy. She tells them to stop fighting. She says they have to share the train set. She says it was a big price for grandma to buy it. She says they should be thankful and kind. + +Ben and Mia feel sorry. They say sorry to mom and to each other. They decide to work together. They unite the broken tracks and fix them. They build a nice train set. They take turns to drive the cars and to run the station. They have fun. + +They thank grandma for the gift. They hug mom and each other. They are happy. They learn to share and unite. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the garden. They have a big box and some string. They want to catch a rabbit. + +They make a trap with the box and the string. They put some carrots under the box. They hide behind a bush. They wait for a rabbit to come. + +Soon, they see a rabbit hopping in the garden. It sees the carrots. It goes to the box. Tom and Sam are ready. They pull the string. The box falls on the rabbit. They catch it! + +They run to the box. They want to see the rabbit. But when they lift the box, they see something else. It is not a rabbit. It is a skunk! + +The skunk is angry. It raises its tail. It sprays a bad smell at Tom and Sam. They scream and run away. The skunk escapes from the trap. + +Tom and Sam are sad and stinky. They go to the house. They need a bath. They learn a lesson. They do not try to catch a rabbit again. +Tom and Anna went to the museum with their mom. They saw many things, like big animals, old pots, and shiny rocks. But Tom and Anna liked the skeletons best. They were white and hard, and had many bones. + +"Look, mom, this is a dinosaur!" Tom said, pointing to a huge skeleton with a long tail and sharp teeth. "It is so big and strong!" + +"Yes, it is, Tom. It lived a long time ago, before people," mom said. + +"I want to be a dinosaur when I grow up," Tom said. + +Anna laughed. "You can't be a dinosaur, silly. You are a boy. And dinosaurs are gone." + +She walked to another skeleton. It was smaller and had wings and a beak. "This is a bird," Anna said. "It is so pretty and graceful!" + +"Wow, it is, Anna. It could fly in the sky, and sing songs," mom said. + +"I want to be a bird when I grow up," Anna said. + +Tom and Anna admired the skeletons for a long time. They imagined what they would do if they were dinosaurs and birds. They had fun. + +Then mom said it was time to go. She took them to the cafeteria, where they had some snacks. Mom gave them each a lemon. Tom and Anna bit into the lemons, and made funny faces. + +"Yuck, this is sour!" Tom said, spitting out the lemon. + +"Me too, this is sour!" Anna said, doing the same. + +Mom laughed. "Lemons are sour, my loves. They are good for you, but they are not sweet like apples or bananas. Do you want something else?" + +Tom and Anna nodded. They did not like sour things. They wanted something sweet. + +Mom gave them each a cookie. Tom and Anna smiled. They liked cookies. They were sweet and soft. + +"Thank you, mom," Tom and Anna said. + +"You're welcome, my loves," mom said. "I'm glad you enjoyed the museum. And I admire you for trying new things, even if they are sour." +Anna and Ben were playing in the backyard with their toy soldiers. They had built a fort with sticks and stones and pretended to fight a war. Anna was the leader of the blue team and Ben was the leader of the red team. + +"Give up, red team! You have no chance to win!" Anna shouted from behind her fort. + +"Never! We will never surrender!" Ben shouted back from behind his fort. + +They threw pine cones and acorns at each other, trying to hit the toy soldiers. Anna had a secret weapon: a water balloon that she had filled from the hose. She waited for the right moment to throw it at Ben's fort and make him wet. + +But Ben had a secret weapon too: a big, furry dog named Max. He had tied a red ribbon around Max's neck and whispered to him: "Go, Max, go! Attack the blue team!" + +Max ran towards Anna's fort, barking and wagging his tail. He jumped over the sticks and stones and knocked down the toy soldiers. He saw the water balloon in Anna's hand and thought it was a ball. He grabbed it with his mouth and popped it. Water splashed everywhere, soaking Anna and Max. + +"Hey, stop it, Max! You're ruining our game!" Anna cried. + +"Ha ha, good boy, Max! You saved the red team!" Ben cheered. + +Max was happy and licked Ben's face. Then he ran to Anna and licked her face too. He wanted to play with both of them. He rubbed his wet, filthy fur against their clothes, making them dirty. + +"Yuck, Max, you're so filthy! Go away!" Anna and Ben said together. + +But Max didn't listen. He wagged his tail and barked, inviting them to chase him. Anna and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They forgot about their war and ran after Max, laughing and having fun. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and beep. Ben had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road. + +"Look, I'm faster than you!" Ben said, pushing his car ahead of Lily's. + +"No, you're not!" Lily said, trying to catch up. "I have a trick!" + +She turned a switch on her car and made it reverse. Her car went backwards very fast and bumped into Ben's car. Ben's car flipped over and landed on its roof. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Ben said, feeling angry. "You cheated!" + +Lily laughed and picked up her car. She saw something shiny on the bottom of it. It was a small rock that had stuck to her car when she reversed. + +"What's this?" she asked, showing it to Ben. + +Ben looked at the rock and his eyes widened. He forgot about being angry and felt curious. + +"It's a mineral!" he said. "A mineral is a kind of rock that has pretty colors or shapes. Maybe it's a treasure!" + +"Wow, a treasure!" Lily said, feeling happy. "Can we keep it?" + +"Sure, we can keep it!" Ben said, feeling happy too. "It's our great find!" + +They put the mineral in their pocket and hugged each other. They decided to share the toy cars and play together. They had fun racing and reversing and beeping. They were glad they found the mineral and each other. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with their bikes on the road. But the road is not safe. There are many cars and trucks that go fast and make noise. Lily and Tom's moms tell them to be careful and stay on the sidewalk. + +One day, Lily and Tom see a new bike in the store. It is red and shiny. It has a bell that can ring. Lily and Tom want the bike. They ask their moms if they can buy it. Their moms say no. The bike is too expensive and they already have bikes. + +Lily and Tom are sad. They go back to the road and ride their bikes. They see the red bike in the window. They wish they had it. They think it would be fun to ring the bell and make the cars and trucks stop. + +They have an idea. They go to the store and ask the man if they can try the bike. The man says yes, but only for a minute. He gives them the bike and tells them to be careful. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They take the bike and ride on the road. They ring the bell and laugh. They think they are brave and smart. They do not see the car that is coming fast. They do not hear the horn that is honking loud. + +The man sees the car and runs to the road. He shouts at Lily and Tom to get off the bike and come back. He is scared and angry. He grabs the bike and pulls them to the sidewalk. He tells them they are naughty and foolish. He says they could have been hurt or worse. + +Lily and Tom are sorry. They cry and say they are sorry. They did not mean to be bad. They just wanted to have fun. They hug the man and thank him for saving them. They promise to never do it again. + +The man is kind and forgiving. He tells them he is glad they are safe. He says they can still play with the bike, but only on the sidewalk. He says they can ring the bell, but only to say hello to their friends. + +Lily and Tom are happy again.

"Can I try?" + +"Sure, Lily, here you go!" Ben says. He gives the ball to Lily. + +Lily takes the ball and tries to throw it high. But the ball falls down. Lily is sad. + +"Don't worry, Lily, you can do it!" Ben says. He hugs Lily. "Let's try again!" + +They try again and again. They have fun. They forget the time. + +Soon, the sun is high in the sky. It is noon. Lily and Ben are hungry. + +"Let's go home, Lily, it is noon!" Ben says. He points to the sun. + +"OK, Ben, let's go!" Lily says. She smiles. "We can play again tomorrow!" + +They take their ball, their kite and their bike. They say goodbye to the park. They go home. They are happy. +One day, Tom went to the shop. He wanted to collect rocks. He saw many rocks, but he was confused. He didn't know which rocks were the best. + +Tom asked his friend, Sue. "Sue, which rocks should I collect?" Sue smiled and said, "Look for the shiny ones, Tom. They are the best." + +Tom looked and looked. He found many shiny rocks. He was so happy. He showed Sue the rocks he collected. Sue was happy too. They both knew that the shiny rocks were the best. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. Lily liked to look for interesting things in her backyard. One day, she found a shiny crystal. It was very pretty, and she wanted to show her friends. + +Lily went to her friends and showed them the crystal. Some of her friends looked at the crystal and said, "Wow! That's interesting!" But one friend, named Tom, did not look at the crystal. He ignored it because he was playing with his toy car. + +Lily felt sad that Tom ignored her crystal. So, she went to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom said, "Don't worry, Lily. Sometimes, friends ignore things because they are busy. Maybe Tom will look at your crystal later." Lily felt better and went back to play with her friends. Later, Tom looked at the crystal and said, "That's interesting, Lily!" And they all played together happily. +One day, a little fish named Fin wanted to play. He saw his friend, the persistent crab, named Crusty. Crusty was always trying to do new things. Fin had an idea. He said, "Let's play a game!" + +"What game?" Crusty asked. Fin thought for a moment and said, "Let's dive down to the bottom of the sea and find a message in a bottle!" + +Crusty liked the idea. They both dove down deep into the water. They looked and looked but could not find a message. They were about to give up when Crusty spotted a bottle. + +"Look, Fin! I found one!" Crusty said, full of joy. They opened the bottle and found a message inside. The message said, "Be kind to your friends." Fin and Crusty smiled. They knew they would always be kind to each other and have fun together. +Once upon a time, there was a little dog named Max. Max liked to nap a lot. He would nap under a big tree in the yard. One day, while Max was napping, a thief came to his house. The thief saw Max and thought it would be easy to take things from the house. + +But Max was a very good dog. He heard the thief and woke up. Max knew it was difficult to stop the thief, but he had to try. Max barked and barked, and the thief got scared.

Some were good, some were not so good. Some got a lot of applause, some got a little applause. Tom and Lily cheered for everyone. They were happy for their friends. + +Finally, it was their turn. They walked on the big stage. They saw many people in the seats. They saw the judges at the table. They smiled and waved. They took a deep breath and started to sing. They sang with joy and passion. They sang with harmony and rhythm. They sang with their impressive voice. + +The people in the seats listened. They liked their song. They liked their voice. They clapped their hands. They clapped louder and louder. They clapped until their hands hurt. They gave them a big applause. + +Tom and Lily finished their song. They bowed and thanked the people. They felt very happy and proud. They had sung on the big stage for many people. They had fulfilled their dream. They had impressed the judges and the audience. They had won the talent show. +Sam and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to draw with crayons and paper. Sam had a folder where he kept his drawings. He was very proud of them. Lily wanted to see what Sam had drawn, but Sam did not want to share. + +"Can I see your folder, Sam?" Lily asked. + +"No, it is mine. Go away," Sam said. + +"Why not? I just want to look. Please, Sam," Lily begged. + +Sam got angry. He did not like Lily to touch his things. He grabbed his folder and ran to his room. He slammed the door behind him. + +Lily felt sad. She did not understand why Sam was so mean. She followed him to his room and knocked on the door. + +"Sam, open the door. I want to talk to you," Lily said. + +"Go away, Lily. You are not my friend," Sam shouted. + +Lily started to cry. She did not like to fight with Sam. She wished he would explain why he was so mad. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily crying and Sam hiding in his room. She knocked on Sam's door. + +"Sam, can I come in?" Mom asked. + +Sam did not answer. He hugged his folder and looked at his drawings. He had drawn a gray elephant, a gray mouse, and a gray cloud. He liked gray. It was his favorite color. + +Mom opened the door and sat on the bed next to Sam. She saw his folder and smiled. + +"Wow, Sam, you have some very nice drawings. Can you show me?" Mom asked. + +Sam looked at Mom. He saw that she was not angry. He felt a little better. He opened his folder and showed Mom his drawings. + +"This is an elephant. He is big and gray. This is a mouse. He is small and gray. This is a cloud. It is fluffy and gray," Sam explained. + +Mom nodded and praised Sam for his drawings. She asked him why he liked gray so much. + +"Gray is a good color. It is not too bright and not too dark. It is calm and cool. I like gray," Sam explained. + +Mom understood. She told Sam that gray was a nice color, but there were also other colors that were nice. She asked him if he wanted to try some other colors with Lily. + +Sam thought about it. He liked his gray drawings, but he also liked Lily. He did not want to make her cry. He decided to give her a chance. + +"Okay, Mom. I will try some other colors with Lily. But can I keep my folder?" Sam asked. + +Mom smiled and hugged Sam. She told him that he could keep his folder, but he should also share it with Lily sometimes. She said that sharing was a good way to be a friend. + +Sam agreed. He took his folder and went to the living room. He saw Lily sitting on the couch, wiping her tears. He felt sorry for her. + +"Lily, I am sorry. I was mean to you. Do you want to see my folder?" Sam asked. + +Lily looked up and saw Sam holding his folder. She smiled and nodded. She was happy that Sam was not mad anymore. + +Sam showed Lily his gray drawings. He explained what they were and why he liked gray. Lily listened and said that they were very nice. She asked him if he wanted to draw some other things with her. + +Sam said yes. He took some crayons and paper from the table. He chose a blue crayon and started to draw a blue sky. Lily chose a yellow crayon and started to draw a yellow sun. They drew together and talked. They had fun. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was glad that they had made up. She thought that they were both very creative and sweet. She loved them very much. +Ben and Lily were playing with their crayons. They liked to draw shapes and colors on the paper. Ben drew a big red circle and said, "Look, Lily, this is a circle. Do you know what it is?" + +Lily looked at the circle and said, "I guess it is a ball. Can we play with it?" + +Ben shook his head and said, "No, Lily, it is not a ball. It is something else. It is very hot and bright. It is in the sky. Do you know what it is?" + +Lily thought hard and said, "I guess it is a sun. Can we touch it?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Lily, it is a sun. Let's touch it. Maybe it will make us warm and happy." + +They reached out their hands to touch the circle. But it was not a sun. It was a hot plate that their mom had left on the table. It burned their fingers and made them cry. Their mom heard them and ran to the table. She saw the paper and the crayons and the hot plate. She was very angry and sad. She scolded them and took them to the doctor. They had to wear bandages and take medicine. They could not play with their crayons for a long time. They learned a hard lesson. They should not touch things that are hot and they should not guess things that are not true. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with blocks. They made towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. One day, they had a new idea. They wanted to make an island with the blocks. + +They put many blocks on the floor. They made a big circle with the blocks. They said, "This is our island. We can live here and have fun." They put some blocks inside the circle. They said, "These are our trees and flowers and animals." They put some blocks on top of the circle. They said, "This is our mountain. We can climb it and see far away." + +They were very happy with their island. They pretended to swim and fish and explore. They sang and laughed and told stories. They said, "This is the best island ever. We are the best friends ever." + +But then, they saw a problem. There was one block left. It was a big block. It was red and shiny. They both liked the block. They both wanted the block. They said, "This is my block. I want it for my island." + +They started to argue. They said, "No, it is my block. I saw it first. I need it for my island." They pulled and pushed the block. They were not happy. They were angry and sad. + +They stopped and looked at their island. They saw that their island was not so nice anymore. Some blocks had fallen down. Some blocks had broken. Their island was not a circle anymore. It was a mess. + +They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry. We were silly. We do not need the block. We have enough blocks. We have each other." + +They hugged and smiled. They fixed their island. They made it a circle again. They put the big block in the middle. They said, "This is our sun. It makes our island warm and bright. It fits our island. It fits our friendship." + +They were happy again. They played with their island. They shared and cared and helped. They said, "This is the best island ever. We are the best friends ever." +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big clock in the attic. The clock had a long pendulum that swung back and forth. Tom had an idea. + +"Let's ride the clock!" he said. "It will be fun!" + +Lily was not sure. She thought the clock was old and modest. She did not want to break it. + +"Are you sure?" she asked. "Maybe we should not touch it." + +Tom did not listen. He climbed on the clock and grabbed the pendulum. He pushed it hard and made it swing faster. + +"Whee!" he shouted. "This is great!" + +Lily watched him nervously. She saw the clock shake and creak. She heard a loud snap. The pendulum broke off and flew across the room. Tom fell down with a thud. He hit his head on the floor and started to cry. + +Lily ran to him and tried to help him. She saw blood on his forehead. She was scared and sorry. + +"Tom, are you okay?" she asked. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" + +But Tom did not answer. He was still and quiet. Lily did not know what to do. She wished they had never played with the clock. She wished they had been more modest. She wished Tom would wake up. But he did not. +Lila and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explorers. They used a big rug as their ship and sailed to distant lands. + +"Look, Ben, there is a treasure island!" Lila said, pointing to the couch. "Let's go and find the gold and jewels!" + +They jumped off the rug and ran to the couch. They lifted the cushions and searched for shiny things. They found some coins, a necklace and a ring. + +"Wow, we are rich!" Ben said, holding the ring. "This is the best adventure ever!" + +But then they heard a loud voice from the kitchen. It was Mom. + +"Who cut my rug?" Mom asked, sounding angry. "There is a big hole in the middle of it!" + +Lila and Ben looked at each other. They remembered that they had used scissors to make a window in their ship. They had cut the rug without asking. + +"Oh no, we are in trouble!" Lila said, dropping the necklace. "What do we do?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He had an idea. + +"Let's say sorry to Mom and help her fix the rug," he said. "Maybe she will forgive us." + +Lila nodded. She agreed with Ben. They took the scissors and the treasure and went to the kitchen. They hoped Mom would not be too mad at them. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a horn. The truck is red and shiny. Lily and Tom want to see the truck. + +"Can we go to the truck?" Lily asks Tom. + +"Yes, let's go!" Tom says. They run to the truck. The truck driver is not there. He is in the shop. + +Lily and Tom climb into the truck. They see many buttons and levers. They want to touch them. + +"Look, this is the horn!" Tom says. He pushes the button. The horn makes a loud noise. BEEP BEEP BEEP! + +Lily and Tom laugh. They think it is fun. They push the horn again and again. + +The truck driver hears the noise. He runs out of the shop. He is angry. He sees Lily and Tom in his truck. + +"Hey, get out of my truck!" he shouts. He opens the door. He tries to pull Lily and Tom out. + +But Lily and Tom are scared. They do not want to get out. They lock the door. They push the horn more. BEEP BEEP BEEP! + +The truck driver bangs on the door. He yells at them. He wants them to stop. + +But Lily and Tom do not stop. They are happy. They think it is a game. They smile at each other. They push the horn more and more. BEEP BEEP BEEP! +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they got a new toy from their grandma. It was a soft angel with a white dress and shiny wings. Lily and Sam both wanted to hug the angel and make her fly. + +But they had only one angel, and they could not both play with her at the same time. Lily and Sam started to pull the angel from each other and shout. The angel felt sad and scared. She did not like to see the twins fight. + +Then, the angel whispered in their ears. She told them a wise thing. She said, "You are both my friends, and I love you. But you have to share me, or I will be unhappy. If you share me, you will both have more fun, and I will be happy too." + +Lily and Sam listened to the angel. They felt sorry for making her sad. They decided to share the angel and take turns to hug her and make her fly. They said sorry to each other and to the angel. The angel smiled and thanked them. She said, "You are both very kind and good. I am proud of you." + +Lily and Sam played with the angel and with each other. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. The angel was happy too. She felt loved and safe. She thought, "Lily and Sam are the best twins ever. They are my angels too." +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play soccer in the park. They had a big ball that they kicked to each other. Sometimes they scored goals and sometimes they missed. They wanted to improve their skills and have more fun. + +One day, they met a new friend in the park. His name was Sam and he was very good at soccer. He showed them how to dribble, pass and shoot the ball. He was very nice and patient. Tom and Lily learned a lot from him and they improved their skills. + +"Wow, you are both very good now!" Sam said. "Do you want to play a game with me?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said. They were very excited and happy. + +They played a game of soccer and had a lot of fun. They scored some goals and cheered for each other. They also missed some goals and laughed at their mistakes. They were a good team and they enjoyed playing together. + +After the game, they were very hungry and thirsty. They decided to have a snack together. They went to a nearby shop and bought some juice, cookies and fruit. They sat on a bench and shared their snack. + +"Thank you for playing with us and teaching us, Sam. You are a great friend." Tom said. + +"Thank you for being so kind and friendly, Tom and Lily. You are great friends too." Sam said. + +They ate their snack and talked about soccer and other things. They found out that they had a lot in common and they liked each other. They decided to play soccer again the next day. + +They finished their snack and got ready to go home. They hugged each other and said goodbye. + +"See you tomorrow, Sam!" Tom and Lily said. + +"See you tomorrow, Tom and Lily!" Sam said. + +They walked home with their parents, who were waiting for them. They told them about their new friend and their soccer game. They were very proud of themselves and their improvement. + +They also felt a bit tired and sore. Their shoes were tight and their feet hurt. They wanted to get new shoes that fit better and were more comfortable. + +They asked their parents if they could get new shoes. Their parents agreed and said they would take them to the shop the next day. + +Tom and Lily were very happy and grateful. They thanked their parents and gave them a big hug. + +They went to bed and dreamed of playing soccer with their new shoes and their new friend. They smiled in their sleep. They had a wonderful day. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a nice doll with a pink dress. Tom has a black car with big wheels. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, Lily sees a new toy in the shop. It is a big teddy bear with a blue bow. Lily wants the teddy bear very much. She asks her mom to buy it for her. Her mom says no. She says Lily has enough toys and she needs to save money. + +Lily is sad. She goes to Tom's house to play. She tells Tom about the teddy bear. Tom listens to Lily. He wants to make her happy. He has an idea. + +"Hey, Lily, I have a plan. Why don't you lend me your doll for a week, and I will lend you my car for a week? Then, we can save our pocket money and buy the teddy bear together. What do you think?" Tom says. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes her doll very much, but she also likes Tom's car. And she really wants the teddy bear. She smiles and nods. + +"OK, Tom, that sounds good. Let's do it. Thank you for being a nice friend." Lily says. + +They hug and swap their toys. They play with their new toys and have fun. They are happy. They are good friends. +Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They see many bugs and flowers. They have a net to catch bugs. They want to find a butterfly. + +"Look, Tom, a yellow butterfly!" Mia says. She runs after it with the net. Tom follows her. + +The butterfly flies over a bush. Mia tries to catch it with the net, but she pokes the bush. Ouch! The bush has thorns. Mia drops the net and cries. + +"Are you okay, Mia?" Tom asks. He picks up the net and goes to Mia. He sees a red spot on her hand. He blows on it and gives her a hug. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. The bush is mean. It hurts you," Tom says. + +"It's okay, Tom. You are nice. You help me," Mia says. She smiles and wipes her tears. + +They see the butterfly again. It lands on a flower. Tom and Mia go to the flower. They are very quiet and careful. They catch the butterfly with the net. They are jolly. + +"Wow, we did it, Mia! We have a butterfly!" Tom says. + +"It's so pretty, Tom! Can we keep it?" Mia asks. + +They look at the butterfly. It has yellow and black wings. It moves in the net. + +"No, Mia. We have to let it go. It wants to fly and be free," Tom says. + +"Okay, Tom. You are right. Bye, butterfly. Thank you for playing with us," Mia says. + +They open the net and let the butterfly go. It flies away and waves its wings. Tom and Mia wave back. They are happy. They hold hands and go to the slide. They have more fun in the park. +Lily and Max were playing with their toy rockets. They liked to pretend they were going to space. They made zooming noises and counted down from ten. + +"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, blast off!" they shouted together. They threw their rockets in the air and watched them fly. + +"Wow, look at mine! It's so fast!" Max said. "It's going to speed to the moon!" + +"Mine is faster!" Lily said. "It's going to speed to the stars!" + +They ran after their rockets, trying to catch them. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, Lily's rocket landed on the roof of the house. She stopped and looked up. She felt nervous. How would she get it back? + +"Uh-oh, Lily, your rocket is stuck!" Max said. He came to her side and looked up too. + +Lily felt sad. She loved her rocket. She wanted to play with it again. + +"Maybe we can ask Mommy or Daddy to help us," Max said. He held Lily's hand. "Don't worry, Lily, we'll get your rocket back." + +Lily nodded. She felt a little better. She hoped Mommy or Daddy would come soon. She wanted to go to space again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many flowers. They wanted to smell the flowers and see the bees. + +"Look, Tom, there is a hive in the tree. Do you see the bees?" Lily said. + +"Yes, I see them. They are busy and make honey. I like honey. Do you like honey, Lily?" Tom said. + +"I like honey too. But we should not go near the hive. The bees can sting us. That is bad. It hurts a lot. Mommy told me so." Lily said. + +"But I want to see the hive closer. Maybe we can take some honey. I believe the bees will not sting us. They are nice. They share their honey with us." Tom said. + +Tom was not afraid of the bees. He walked to the tree and reached for the hive. Lily was scared. She wanted to stop Tom. She ran after him and shouted. + +"Tom, no, don't do that. The bees will be angry. They will sting you. Come back, Tom, come back!" + +But it was too late. The bees saw Tom and heard Lily. They thought Tom and Lily wanted to hurt their hive. They flew out of the hive and buzzed loudly. They chased Tom and Lily and stung them. Tom and Lily cried and ran away. They had many red bumps on their skin. They felt bad. + +Mommy heard them and came to help. She hugged them and put some cream on their bumps. She told them to be careful and not to touch the hive. She said the bees were not nice or mean. They were just protecting their home and their honey. She said Tom and Lily should not believe everything they see or want. They should listen to Mommy and learn from their mistakes. Tom and Lily said they were sorry and they hugged Mommy. They learned their lesson. They never went near the hive again. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have a big mattress on the floor. They jump on the mattress and make funny noises. + +One day, their mom says, "Time to clean up, kids. Put your toys away and make your bed." Anna and Ben do not want to stop playing. They say, "No, mom. We want to play more." + +Mom is angry. She says, "You have to listen to me. I am your mom. You have to trust me. Cleaning up is good for you. It makes your room nice and tidy. And you can play again later." + +Anna and Ben are still not happy. They say, "But mom, we are having fun. We do not like cleaning up. It is boring and hard. And we do not want to make our bed. We like our mattress messy." + +Mom is very angry. She says, "That's enough, kids. You are being naughty and rude. You have to do what I say. Or you will have no dessert tonight. And no stories before bed." + +Anna and Ben are scared. They do not want to lose their dessert and their stories. They love their mom. They do not want to make her angry. They say, "Sorry, mom. We will clean up and make our bed. We trust you. You know what is best for us." + +Mom is happy. She says, "Thank you, kids. I am proud of you. You are good and kind. I love you very much. Now, let's finish cleaning up and then we can have some cookies and milk. And I will read you your favorite story before bed." + +Anna and Ben smile. They hug their mom. They say, "We love you too, mom. You are the best mom ever." They help their mom clean up their room and make their bed. They enjoy their cookies and milk. And they listen to their mom read them their favorite story. They snuggle on their mattress and fall asleep. They dream of more fun and games. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big box near a bench. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they found many shiny things. They were jewelry! + +"Wow, look at these!" Lily said. She picked up a necklace with a blue stone. "This is so pretty!" + +"I like this one!" Ben said. He grabbed a ring with a red stone. "This is so cool!" + +They tried on the jewelry and pretended to be kings and queens. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, a man came to the bench. He looked angry. He saw the box and the jewelry. He shouted at Lily and Ben. + +"Hey, you little thieves! That's my jewelry! Give it back to me now!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know the man. They did not know the jewelry was his. They thought it was a toy. + +"Sorry, mister, we didn't know!" Lily said. She took off the necklace and gave it to the man. + +"Me too, sorry!" Ben said. He tried to take off the ring, but it was stuck on his finger. He pulled and pulled, but it did not come off. + +The man was very mad. He reached for Ben's hand. He wanted to take the ring by force. + +But Ben was strong. He did not let the man touch him. He pushed the man away. Then, he did something brave. He threw the ring at the man's face. + +"Ow!" the man cried. He covered his eye with his hand. He dropped the necklace and the box. + +Lily and Ben saw their chance. They ran away from the man. They ran to their mom, who was waiting for them near the swings. + +"Mom, mom, we're sorry!" Lily said. "We found some jewelry in a box and we played with it, but it was a bad man's jewelry and he was mean to us!" + +"Yeah, mom, we're sorry!" Ben said. "But I threw the ring at him and he went away!" + +Their mom hugged them and kissed them. She was glad they were safe. She was proud of them for being honest and strong. + +"It's okay, my loves," she said. "You did nothing wrong. You just found some trash and made it into treasure. But next time, be careful of strangers. They might not be nice." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They did not want to play with jewelry anymore. They wanted to play with their mom. They loved their mom. She was the best treasure of all. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big pot, some spoons, and some spices. They also had some pepper, which was black and made you sneeze. + +"Let's put some pepper in the soup," Tom said. "It will make it spicy and tasty." + +"OK," Lily said. "But not too much. We don't want to make it too hot." + +Tom took the pepper shaker and shook it over the pot. He shook it hard and fast. He wanted to make the soup very spicy. But he shook it too hard and the lid came off. Pepper flew everywhere. It went into the pot, on the floor, on the table, and on Tom and Lily. + +"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!" Tom and Lily sneezed. They rubbed their eyes and noses. They felt hot and itchy. They did not like the pepper. + +They heard a knock on the door. It was Mom. She came in and saw the mess. She saw the pepper, the pot, the spoons, and the spices. She saw Tom and Lily sneezing and rubbing. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. She was not happy. + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They knew they had made a mistake. They wanted to say sorry. But they could not talk. They only sneezed. + +"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!" + +Mom sighed. She took a cloth and wiped their faces. She gave them some water to drink. She helped them clean up the kitchen. She was not angry. She was kind. + +Tom and Lily stopped sneezing. They felt better. They looked at Mom. They wanted to thank her. They also wanted to be polite. + +"Thank you, Mom," Tom said. "We are sorry we made a mess. We were playing chefs. We wanted to make soup. But we put too much pepper. It was not good." + +"Yes, thank you, Mom," Lily said. "We are sorry we wasted the pepper. We did not mean to. We were having fun. But we learned our lesson. Pepper is not for playing. It is for eating. But only a little bit." + +Mom smiled. She hugged them. She was proud. + +"You are welcome, my loves," Mom said. "I am glad you are OK. I am also glad you are polite. You said sorry and thank you. That is very nice. And I am glad you learned something. Pepper is a good spice. But you have to use it carefully. It can make you sneeze and itch. It can also make your food too hot. Next time, you can ask me to help you. I can show you how to make soup. And how to use pepper. Would you like that?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They liked the idea. They wanted to make soup with Mom. And they wanted to use pepper. But only a little bit. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big green slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, please?" Anna asks Ben. + +"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, Anna sees a green bug on the slide. She is scared of the bug. She screams and stops. + +"Anna, what is wrong?" Ben asks. He sees the bug too. He is not scared of the bug. He thinks the bug is cute. + +"It is a bug! A green bug! I don't like bugs!" Anna says. She moves away from the slide. + +"Anna, don't be scared. The bug is not bad. It is just a little body. It likes to play too. Look, it has wings and legs and eyes. It is like us, but smaller." Ben says. He picks up the bug gently. He shows it to Anna. + +Anna looks at the bug. She sees that it is not bad. It is just a little body. It has wings and legs and eyes. It is like them, but smaller. She feels sorry for the bug. + +"Can I hold the bug too?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, here you go. Be careful, don't hurt it." Ben says. He gives the bug to Anna. + +Anna holds the bug. She feels it tickle her hand. She smiles. She likes the bug. + +"Hello, bug. You are cute. You are green. You like to play. We are friends." Anna says. + +The bug wiggles its wings. It seems to say hello too. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They play with the bug. They share the slide. They laugh and have fun. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box. They open the box and see many things inside. They see hats, scarves, glasses, and wigs. + +"Look, Tom, I can be a princess!" Lily says. She puts on a pink hat, a purple scarf, and a long hair wig. She twirls around and smiles. + +"You are very charming, Lily," Tom says. He puts on a green hat, a red scarf, and a short hair wig. He makes a funny face and laughs. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are very funny," Lily says. They pretend to be different people and have fun. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is the owner of the box. He is a man who works in a theater. He is looking for his costumes. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing with my box?" he asks. He is not angry, but surprised. + +"Sorry, sir, we just wanted to play," Lily says. She and Tom take off the hats, scarves, and wigs. They give them back to the man. + +"It's okay, kids, I understand. You have a lot of imagination," the man says. He is kind and smiles. "But these are not toys, they are for my show. Do you want to see it?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom say. They are curious and excited. + +The man takes them to the theater. He shows them how he and his friends change their clothes, hair, and faces to tell stories on the stage. Lily and Tom watch and clap. They think it is amazing and charming. They are happy they found the box and the man. They make a new friend. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They ran and jumped and laughed and had fun. But sometimes they were very noisy and did not care about other people. + +One day, they saw a man walking on a path with a big bag. They thought it was funny to disturb him. They ran behind him and shouted and pulled his bag. The man got angry and told them to stop. But they did not listen and kept disturbing him. + +Then, the man tripped on a rock and fell down. His bag opened and many books came out. The books were old and torn and dirty. The man cried and said they were his only friends. He said he had no home and no money and no family. He said he liked to read the books and learn new things. He said he was very sad and lonely. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for the man. They realized they were very mean and rude. They helped him pick up his books and put them back in his bag. They said they were sorry and asked him his name. He said his name was Sam. They gave him a hug and a smile and said they wanted to be his friends. They asked him if he wanted to play with them. He said yes and smiled too. + +Anna and Ben learned a lesson that day. They learned to be kind and respectful to other people. They learned not to judge by how someone looks or what they have. They learned to share and care and make new friends. They learned that being noisy and disturbing is not fun, but being nice and helpful is. +Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a basket for her books. She liked to put each toy in the right place, so she could find them easily. + +One day, she saw a new toy on the table. It was a long strip of paper with many colors. Lily thought it was pretty. She wanted to play with it. She took the strip and ran to her room. + +She tried to wrap the strip around her dolls, but it was too tight. She tried to make a road for her cars, but it was too curly. She tried to make a bookmark for her books, but it was too long. She did not know what to do with the strip. + +She decided to ask her mom for help. She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making a cake. She showed her the strip and said, "Mom, what is this? How can I play with it?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "This is a rainbow strip, Lily. It is a special toy for making crafts. You can cut it, glue it, fold it, and decorate it. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please!" Her mom gave her some scissors, some glue, and some stickers. She helped her cut the strip into smaller pieces, glue them together, and stick them on a paper plate. They made a beautiful rainbow flower. + +Lily was happy. She had learned a new way to play with the strip. She thanked her mom and said, "Mom, you are the best!

He thinks his picture is famous. He wants to make more pictures. + +But then, Tom feels tired. He has been running and drawing a lot. He yawns and rubs his eyes. He says, "I need to rest." + +Tom goes to his room. He puts his picture on his bed. He lies down next to it. He cuddles with his dog. He says, "Good night, dog. Good night, picture. I love you." He closes his eyes and falls asleep. + +The next day, Tom wakes up. He sees his picture on his bed. He smiles and says, "Hello, picture. You are still here. You are still famous." He picks it up and looks at it. He sees something new on it. He sees a print. + +The print is small and black. It looks like a paw. It is on the corner of his picture. Tom wonders who made it. He looks at his dog. His dog is sleeping on the floor. He sees some black on his dog's paw. He realizes what happened. + +Tom laughs and says, "Dog, you made a print on my picture. You are funny.

Mia said, clapping her hands. + +But then they heard a loud voice. It was Mom. She was angry. + +"Tom and Mia, what are you doing? You are wasting water and making a mess! Come inside right now!" Mom said. + +Tom and Mia dropped the hose and ran to the house. They were wet and muddy. Mom was not happy. + +"You need to dry yourselves and change your clothes. And no more playing with the hose.

She says, "My dress is not boring. It is my favorite dress. My mom made it for me. She said it is easy to wash and wear. She said it is good for playing and having fun. She said it does not matter how you look, but how you act." + +Sara and Mia do not listen to Lily. They keep laughing and making fun of her. They do not play with her or the other kids.

He pushed Lily away and shouted, "No! This is my mask! Go away!" + +Lily fell down and started to cry. Mom ran to her and hugged her. She said, "Lily, that was not nice. You can't take things from other people. You have to ask first. And you have to be careful. The masks are not safe. They can make you sick." + +Lily looked at the masks and saw that they were dirty and torn. She did not want them anymore. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was silly. I don't need a mask. I have you." + +Mom smiled and kissed her. She said, "That's right, my love. You don't need a mask. You are beautiful just the way you are. Now, let's leave the park and go home. We can have some cookies and milk and make our own masks with paper and crayons. How does that sound?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, mom. That sounds fun. We love you, mom." + +They held mom's hand and left the park. They were happy and excited to make their own masks. They did not care about the other kids' masks anymore.

They both pulled on the block and shouted at each other. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Anna and Ben fighting over the gold block. She asked them why they were not sharing. Anna said she wanted the block to complete her picture. Ben said he wanted the block to complete his tower. Mom said they both had a good reason, but they could not have the same block at the same time. She said they had to find a way to solve their problem. + +She looked around and saw a box of ordinary crayons. She took out a yellow crayon and gave it to Anna. She said it was not gold, but it was close enough. She said Anna could use it to finish her picture. She said it would still look beautiful. Anna looked at the yellow crayon and thought it was not as shiny as gold, but it was better than nothing. She thanked mom and went back to her drawing. + +Mom then looked at Ben and his tower. She said it was very tall and strong. She said he did a good job. She said he could keep the gold block, but he had to let Anna use it when he was done. She said it was fair to take turns.

She did not wait for Max. + +Max was sad. He wanted to slide with Lily. He felt alone. He sat on the slide and cried. + +Lily reached the bottom. She looked up and saw Max. He was not smiling. He was crying. She wondered why. + +She ran back to the slide and climbed up. She saw Max's tears. She felt sorry. + +"Max, why are you crying?" she asked. + +"Because you did not wait for me," Max said. "You slid without me. You were not a good friend." + +Lily realized she was wrong. She had been selfish. She had not shared the slide. She had hurt Max's feelings. + +"I'm sorry, Max," she said. "You are right. I was not a good friend. I should have waited for you. Can you forgive me?" + +Max looked at Lily. He saw her sad face. He saw her sorry eyes. He remembered their friendship. He decided to forgive her. + +"Yes, I forgive you, Lily," he said. "But can we slide together this time?" + +Lily nodded. She smiled. She hugged Max. They slid down together. They smiled and laughed. They were happy. They learned to share and to be kind. They were good friends. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big hill with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the hole!" Ben said. + +"OK, but be careful. It might be dark and scary," Anna said. + +They crawled into the hole. It was deep and dark. They could not see anything. They heard a growl. + +"Who is there?" a voice said. + +Anna and Ben were afraid. They saw two big eyes and a long nose. It was a guard dog. He was guarding the hole. + +"Go away! This is my home!" the dog said. + +"Sorry, we did not know. We were just curious," Anna said. + +"Curious? What is that?" the dog said. + +"It means we wanted to discover new things," Ben said. + +"Discover? What is that?" the dog said. + +"It means we wanted to learn and have fun," Anna said. + +"Learn? Fun? I don't know these things. I only know guard and growl," the dog said. + +"Maybe you can discover, learn and have fun with us," Ben said. + +"Really? How?" the dog said. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They invited the dog to come out of the hole. They showed him the grass, the swings and the sun. They played and laughed together. The dog discovered, learned and had fun. He was happy. He made new friends. +Sara and Ben are playing with paper. They like to fold the paper and make shapes. Sara folds a paper into a triangle. Ben folds a paper into a square. + +"Look, I made a hat!" Sara says. She puts the triangle on her head. The tip of the hat is pointing up. + +"Look, I made a box!" Ben says. He puts the square on the floor. The box has four sides and a hole. + +"Can I try your hat?" Ben asks. + +"OK, but be careful. It is very lucky." Sara says. She gives Ben her hat. + +"Why is it lucky?" Ben asks. + +"Because it has a tip. The tip can touch the sky. The sky has stars and wishes." Sara says. + +"Wow, that is lucky!" Ben says. He puts the hat on his head. He looks up at the sky. He sees a bird flying by. + +"Look, a bird!" Ben says. He waves at the bird. + +The bird sees Ben and his hat. The bird likes the tip of the hat. The bird flies down and lands on the tip. + +"Hi, bird!" Ben says. He smiles at the bird. + +The bird chirps and flaps its wings. It likes Ben and his hat. + +"Look, Sara, the bird likes my hat!" Ben says. + +Sara looks at Ben and the bird. She is happy for Ben. + +"That is very lucky, Ben!" Sara says. "You have a new friend!" + +Ben and Sara laugh and play with the bird and the paper. They have a lot of fun. They are very lucky. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big copper tub that they filled with water and bubbles. They pretended it was a boat or a pool or a castle. They splashed and laughed and had fun. + +One day, they saw a frog near the tub. It was green and smooth and had big eyes. "Hello, frog," Tom said. "Do you want to play with us?" The frog croaked and hopped into the tub. It swam and dived and made bubbles with its mouth. + +Lily was happy to see the frog. She liked animals and wanted to be its friend. She reached out her hand to touch the frog. "Don't do that," Tom said. "Frogs don't like to be touched. They might jump away or bite you." Lily did not listen. She wanted to pet the frog. She moved her hand closer and closer. + +The frog saw Lily's hand. It did not like it. It felt scared and angry. It opened its mouth and bit Lily's finger. Lily screamed and pulled her hand back. She saw blood on her finger and tears in her eyes. She ran to her mom and showed her the wound. + +Mom saw Lily's finger and hugged her. She cleaned the wound and put a bandage on it. She asked Lily what happened. Lily told her about the frog and the tub. Mom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Frogs are not good pets. They like to be free and wild. They don't like to bathe with people. Next time, leave the frog alone and play with something else." Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I'm sorry, too. I won't touch frogs again." Mom kissed her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You learned something new today. Now, let's go and have some ice cream." Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Mom. I love ice cream." They went inside and left the tub and the frog behind. +Lily wanted to play with her new doll, but Mom said no. Mom said it was time for bed. Lily was sad and angry. She did not want to sleep. She wanted to have fun. + +She had a clever idea. She put on her bathrobe and pretended to be cold. She said to Mom, "Mom, can I have a cup of milk, please? I am cold and thirsty." + +Mom smiled and said, "Okay, Lily, you can have a cup of milk. But then you have to go to bed, okay?" + +Mom went to the kitchen to get the milk. Lily saw her chance. She ran to her room and grabbed her doll. She hid it under her bathrobe. She thought Mom would not see it. + +She went back to the living room and drank her milk. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's go to bed." + +Mom took Lily's hand and walked to her bedroom. She tucked her in and kissed her goodnight. She said, "Sweet dreams, Lily." + +Lily smiled and said, "Goodnight, Mom." + +Mom turned off the light and left the room. Lily waited for a few minutes. Then she took out her doll from under her bathrobe. She whispered, "We did it, doll. We tricked Mom. We can play now." + +She hugged her doll and played with it until she fell asleep. She was happy. She thought she was very clever. But she did not know that Mom saw her doll under her bathrobe. Mom knew Lily was not cold. Mom knew Lily wanted to play. Mom did not mind. She loved Lily. She thought Lily was very clever too. She was proud of her. She let her play for a little while. She knew Lily would sleep soon. She thought, "Maybe tomorrow I will permit her to play with her doll a little longer." +Sara and Ben like to play with blocks. They build many things with blocks. One day, they decide to build a castle with blocks. They want to make a high castle, like the ones in books. + +They start to stack the blocks on the floor. They make a big square with blocks. Then they make four towers with blocks, one in each corner. They put more blocks on top of the towers. They try to make the towers as high as they can. + +"Look, our castle is high!" Sara says. "It is very high!" Ben agrees. They are happy with their castle. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dog, Spot. Spot runs into the room. He sees the castle. He thinks it is a toy. He jumps on the castle. He knocks down the blocks. The castle falls apart. + +Sara and Ben are sad. They worked hard on their castle. They look at the mess. They look at Spot. Spot wags his tail. He thinks he is playing. + +"Bad dog!" Sara says. "You broke our castle!" Ben says. They are angry with Spot. + +Spot looks at them. He does not understand. He tilts his head. He licks their faces. He wants to be friends. + +Sara and Ben sigh. They love Spot. They know he did not mean to break their castle. They decide to forgive him. + +"Come on, Spot," Sara says. "Let's go outside and play." "Maybe we can build another castle later," Ben says. They pick up the blocks. They put them in a box. They take Spot with them. They go outside and play. They forget about the castle. They are happy again. +Lily likes to read books. She can read many words on the page. She is proud of herself. She wants to show her mom and dad how well she can read. + +But her brother Max does not like books. He likes to play with cars and trucks. He thinks books are boring. He does not want to listen to Lily read. He wants to play with her. + +One day, Lily finds a new book in the library. It has a big red dragon on the cover. She thinks it looks exciting. She takes it home and sits on the couch to read it. + +But Max sees the book and wants it. He thinks it is a toy. He grabs it from Lily and runs away. He does not know it is a book. He does not care. + +Lily is angry and sad. She wants her book back. She chases Max around the house. She yells at him to give it back. But Max does not listen.

She asks them to help her get her book back. + +Max tells them that he does not know it is a book and that he does not care. He tells them that he likes the dragon and that he wants to play with it. He asks them to let him keep it. + +Mom and dad look at each other and sigh. They know they have to teach Max to respect books and to share with Lily. They also know they have to praise Lily for her reading skills and to encourage her to keep learning. + +They take the book from Max and give it back to Lily. They tell Max that he can not take things that are not his and that he has to say sorry to Lily. They tell Lily that they are proud of her and that they want to hear her read the book. + +Max says sorry to Lily and gives her a hug. He says he will try to like books more. Lily says thank you and smiles. She says she will let him see the dragon if he wants. They sit on the couch together and look at the book. + +Mom and dad sit with them and listen to Lily read. They are happy to see their children get along. They are proud of both of them. They love them very much. +Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big box near the slide. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Lila said. + +"OK!" Tom said. + +They lifted the lid and saw many things. There were hats and scarves and gloves and coats. They were all different colors and sizes. + +"Wow! Look at all these!" Lila said. + +"Let's try them on!" Tom said. + +They took out some of the things and put them on. Lila found a pink hat with a pom-pom. She put it on her head. It was too big. It fell over her eyes. + +"Oops! This hat is too big for me!" Lila said. + +Tom found a blue scarf with stripes. He wrapped it around his neck. It was too long. It dragged on the ground. + +"Oops! This scarf is too long for me!" Tom said. + +They laughed and tried other things. They had fun. They looked funny. + +But then, they heard a voice. + +"Hey! What are you doing with my things?" The voice said. + +They turned around and saw a man. He was tall and angry. He had a beard and a hat. He was the owner of the box. + +He came closer and closer. Lila and Tom were scared. They wanted to run away. But they were too slow. The hats and scarves and gloves and coats were too big for them. They did not fit. + +The man reached them and grabbed his things. He took them off Lila and Tom. He threw them back in the box. He was not happy. + +"These are mine! You can't take them!" He said. + +"Sorry, mister. We just wanted to play." Lila said. + +"Yeah, sorry. We didn't know." Tom said. + +The man looked at them. He saw their faces. They were sad and sorry. He felt a little bad. + +He sighed and said, "It's OK. I guess you didn't mean any harm. But these are not toys. These are for the winter. It gets very cold and foggy here. You need to stay warm and safe." + +He opened the box again and took out two things. He gave them to Lila and Tom. + +"Here. You can have these. They are small and fit you. They are also warm and cozy." He said. + +He gave Lila a purple hat with a flower. He gave Tom a green scarf with dots. They were just right for them. + +Lila and Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, mister. These are very nice." + +They put them on and felt warm and cozy. They looked at each other and liked what they saw. + +They were proud of their new things. They thanked the man again and said goodbye. They ran to the slide and played some more. + +They had a new friend and a new adventure. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a creek that made funny noises. Sometimes they saw fish and frogs in the creek. They liked to throw stones and sticks in the water and watch them splash. + +One day, they decided to build a bridge over the creek. They found some dull wood and some rope in the shed. They worked hard to tie the wood together and make a flat path. They hoped it would be strong and safe. + +"Look, we did it!" Ben said, when they finished. "Let's try it out!" + +He stepped on the bridge and walked across. It wobbled a little, but it held. He smiled and waved at Anna. + +"Come on, it's fun!" he called. + +Anna was scared. She did not like the wobbling. She hoped the bridge would not break. She took a deep breath and stepped on the bridge. She walked slowly and carefully. + +She was almost at the other side, when she heard a loud crack. The rope snapped and the wood fell apart. Anna screamed and fell into the creek. The water was cold and deep. She could not swim. She tried to grab something, but there was nothing. + +Ben was shocked. He ran to the edge and looked for Anna. He could not see her. He shouted her name, but there was no answer. He hoped she would come up, but she did not. He cried and cried. He wished he had not made the bridge. He wished he had not asked Anna to cross it. He wished he could save her. But it was too late. Anna was gone. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a kite and a bike. They have fun together. + +One day, they are hungry. They go to the bench and open their bags. Anna has a sandwich. Ben has a sandwich too. But they are different. + +"Look at my sandwich!" Anna says. "It has cheese and ham and lettuce. It is yummy!" + +"Look at my sandwich!" Ben says. "It has peanut butter and jelly and banana. It is sweet!" + +They look at each other's sandwiches. They are curious. They want to try. + +"Can I have a bite of your sandwich?" Anna asks. + +"Can I have a bite of your sandwich?" Ben asks. + +They nod and smile. They swap their sandwiches. They take a bite. + +Anna makes a face. She does not like peanut butter and jelly and banana. It is sticky and mushy and weird. + +Ben makes a face too. He does not like cheese and ham and lettuce. It is salty and chewy and boring. + +They spit out their bites. They are unhappy. They want their own sandwiches back. + +"Here, take your sandwich!" Anna says. + +"Here, take your sandwich!" Ben says. + +They give back their sandwiches. They are glad. They eat their own sandwiches. They are happy again. + +They finish their sandwiches. They wipe their mouths. They look at each other. + +They laugh. They are still friends. They have different sandwiches, but they have the same taste. They are charming. + +They hug. They say sorry. They say thank you. + +They go back to play. They have more fun together. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the toy store with their moms. They see many toys on display. Display means to show something. + +"Look, Lily, a big bear!" Ben says. He points to a brown bear with a red bow. "Can I have it, Mom?" + +"Sorry, Ben, that bear is too expensive," his mom says. "You have many bears at home. Why don't you choose something else?" + +Ben feels sad. He wants the big bear. He starts to cry. His eyes are wet. Wet means to have water on something. + +Lily sees Ben crying. She feels sorry for him. She has an idea. She goes to the display and takes a small bear. It is white with a blue bow. She gives it to Ben. + +"Here, Ben, you can have this bear," she says. "It is very soft and cute. I don't need it. I have a doll." + +Ben stops crying. He looks at the small bear. He smiles. He hugs Lily. + +"Thank you, Lily, you are very nice," he says. "You are my best friend. Do you want to play with my bear and your doll?" + +"Yes, Ben, I do," Lily says. "Let's go to the play area. We can have fun together." + +They go to the play area with their moms. They play with the bear and the doll. They are happy. They share their toys. They are good friends. +Tim and Mia were playing in the garden. They had a big box and some sticks. They pretended the box was a castle and the sticks were swords. They had fun fighting the bad guys and saving the princess. + +But then Tim saw something shiny in the grass. It was a lighter that Dad had left behind. Tim picked it up and tried to make it work. He pushed the button and a flame came out. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim said to Mia. "I have a fire sword!" + +Mia was scared. She knew fire was dangerous. She remembered how Mom had told them to stay away from the stove and the candles. + +"Tim, put that down!" Mia said. "You will burn yourself or the box!" +
