It's a sunny day and the lake is cool and nice," Ben said. + +"Because I'm cold and hungry and I don't like water. Now scram, before I use this axe on you!" the man shouted. + +Lily and Ben were scared and ran away. They hid behind a bush and watched the man. He started to chop down a big tree near the lake.

You could have hurt yourselves or started a fire. You are very lucky that nothing worse happened." + +She hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are okay, but you have to be more careful and responsible.

They are not hurt, but they are dirty and wet. + +"Oops, that was fun!" Tom says. He laughs and gets up. + +"Fun, but silly!" Lily says. She wipes her face and smiles. + +They see a man walking his dog. The dog is big and brown and has a collar. The man sees Tom and Lily and stops. + +"Hello, kids. Are you OK?" he asks. + +"Yes, we are OK. We were playing on the hill and we slipped and fell." Tom says. + +"That's too bad. You should be careful on the hill. It can be slippery and dangerous." the man says. + +"We know, we know. But we like to play and have fun." Lily says. + +The man nods and smiles. He looks at his dog and says, "This is Rex. He is my dog. He is very smart and friendly. Do you want to pet him?" + +Tom and Lily love dogs. They nod and say, "Yes, please!" + +They go to Rex and pet him.

They throw a ball and Rex fetches it. They run and chase Rex and he chases them back. They have a lot of fun. + +They forget about the hill and the slip and the ground.

The sun was bright and made them thirsty. They asked their mom for some water. + +"Here you go, sweeties. Drink some water and stay in the shade. It's not good to be in the sun for too long," mom said. + +"Thank you, mom. Can we play with the salt?" Lila asked. She liked to make shapes and patterns with the salt on a tray. + +"Sure, you can play with the salt. But be careful not to spill it or put it in your mouth. Salt is not for eating, it's for cooking," mom said. + +Lila and Tom took the salt and the tray to the porch. They poured some salt on the tray and used their fingers to draw lines and circles. They made a sun, a moon, a star, and a flower. They had fun with the salt. + +"Look, mom, we made a sun like the one in the sky!" Tom said. + +"That's very nice, Tom. You and Lila are very creative," mom said. + +"Can we make a salt cake?" Lila asked. + +"A salt cake? How do you make a salt cake?" mom asked. + +"We put some salt in a cup and then we turn it over on the tray. Then we have a salt cake!" Lila said. + +"Okay, you can try that. But remember, don't eat the salt cake. It's not a real cake, it's just salt," mom said. + +Lila and Tom put some salt in a cup and then turned it over on the tray. They made a salt cake. They pretended to blow candles and sing happy birthday. + +"Happy birthday, salt cake!" they said. + +They laughed and clapped. They were not restless anymore.

He gives him a paper and a pen and says, "Tom, can you draw me a picture of how we can increase our sales? I need a good idea for the meeting." + +Tom thinks for a moment and then starts to draw. He draws a big smiley face and writes "happy customers" under it. He draws a big pile of money and writes "more money" under it. He draws a big star and writes "best office" under it. He shows his dad his picture and says, "Dad, this is how we can increase our sales. We have to make the customers happy, then we get more money, then we are the best office." + +His dad looks at his picture and smiles. He hugs Tom and says, "Tom, you are a genius. This is the best idea I have ever seen. Thank you for your help. You are my best helper." He takes Tom's picture and puts it in his folder. He says, "Come on, let's go to the meeting and show everyone your picture. I'm sure they will love it too." + +Tom and his dad go to the meeting and sit in the big chairs. His dad shows his picture to the other people and tells them what Tom said. The other people look at the picture and nod their heads. They say, "Tom, you are a genius.

But sometimes, chewing got her in trouble. + +One day, Lily was at school with her friends. They were playing with blocks and dolls and cars. Lily saw a shiny red car that she liked very much. She wanted to chew on it, because it looked so yummy. She took the car from the box and put it in her mouth. + +But then, she heard a loud cry. It was Ben, the boy who owned the car. He saw Lily chewing on his car and he was very angry. He ran to the teacher and told her what Lily did. The teacher came over and took the car from Lily's mouth. She looked at the car and saw that it was broken and wet. + +The teacher was very cross with Lily. She said, "Lily, you should not chew on other people's things. That is very rude and naughty. You have ruined Ben's car and made him sad. How would you feel if someone chewed on your things?" + +Lily felt very ashamed. She knew she did a bad thing. She did not want to make Ben sad or the teacher cross. She wanted to say sorry, but she did not know how. She felt tears in her eyes and a lump in her throat. + +She wished she could go home and hide under her bed. She wished she could have a dream where she could chew on anything she wanted and no one would mind. She wished she could be a good girl who did not chew on other people's things. She wished she could make Ben and the teacher happy again. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a bird on the grass. The bird is blue and has a long tail. It does not move or sing. + +"Look, a blue bird!" Tom says. He runs to the bird and tries to touch it. + +"Stop, Tom!" Sam says. He follows Tom and pulls his hand away. "The bird is dead. You cannot touch it." + +"What is dead?" Tom asks. He does not understand. + +"Dead means the bird is not alive. It cannot fly or eat or sing anymore. It is very sad," Sam says. He feels sorry for the bird. + +"Why is the bird dead?" Tom asks. He wants to know. + +"I don't know. Maybe it was sick or old or hurt. Sometimes things die and we don't know why. But we have to be kind and let them lie," Sam says. He finds a leaf and covers the bird with it. + +"Can we say goodbye to the bird?" Tom asks. He likes the bird. + +"Yes, we can. Goodbye, blue bird. We hope you are happy in the sky," Sam says. He holds Tom's hand and they walk away. + +The end. +Lily and Ben like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. Lily is very good at soccer. She can run fast and kick hard. Ben is not so good. He is slow and weak. He misses the ball a lot. + +One day, they play soccer in the park again. Lily says, "Let's start the game. I will score many goals and you will lose." Ben says, "No, I will try my best and you will see. Maybe I will score too." Lily laughs and says, "OK, let's see. But I think it will be difficult for you." + +They start the game. Lily kicks the ball and runs to the goal. Ben tries to stop her, but he is too slow. Lily scores a goal. She claps her hands and says, "Yay, I scored! I am the best!" Ben is sad. He picks up the ball and says, "It's OK, I still have a chance. Let me try again." + +They play again. Ben kicks the ball and runs to the goal. Lily tries to stop him, but she is too fast. She takes the ball from him and runs to the other goal. Ben tries to catch her, but he is too weak. Lily scores another goal. She jumps and says, "Yay, I scored again! You are the worst!" Ben is very sad. He drops the ball and says, "It's not fair, you are too good. I don't want to play anymore." + +He turns around and walks away. Lily says, "Hey, where are you going? Don't be a baby. Come back and play." But Ben does not listen. He leaves the park and goes home. He cries and says, "I hate soccer. I hate Lily. She is mean and rude. She always wins and makes fun of me. I don't want to be her friend anymore." He never plays soccer with Lily again. Lily is alone in the park. She is bored and lonely. She says, "I wish Ben would come back and play with me. I miss him. Maybe I was too mean and rude. Maybe I should have let him score sometimes. Maybe then he would still be my friend." But it is too late. Ben does not come back. The end. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big mountain far away. They wanted to go there and see what was on top. + +"Let's go to the mountain, Tom!" Lily said. + +"OK, Lily, but we have to tell Mom first," Tom said. He was honest and did not want to lie. + +They ran to their mom and asked if they could go to the mountain. Mom said yes, but they had to be back before dark. She gave them some snacks and water and a map. She told them to be careful and have fun. + +Tom and Lily thanked Mom and started to walk to the mountain. They followed the map and saw many things on the way. They saw birds and flowers and rocks and trees. They also saw a big cloud that looked like a dragon. They were not afraid of the cloud. They thought it was funny. + +They got closer to the mountain and saw a path that went up. They decided to follow the path and see what was on top. They climbed and climbed and climbed. They got tired and hungry and thirsty. They ate some snacks and drank some water and rested for a while. + +They looked at the sky and saw that the sun was going down. They realized that they had to go back soon. They also saw that the cloud that looked like a dragon was getting bigger and darker. They heard a loud noise that sounded like thunder. + +"Tom, I think the cloud is angry," Lily said. + +"Me too, Lily. Maybe it does not want us to go to the mountain," Tom said. + +They were scared of the cloud. They decided to turn back and go home. They ran down the path and hoped that the cloud would not follow them. + +But as they ran, they saw something that made them stop. A big, shiny, red ball appeared on the mountain. It looked like a giant cherry. It was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen. + +"Wow, look at that, Lily!" Tom said. + +"It's amazing, Tom!" Lily said. + +They forgot about the cloud and the sun and the time. They wanted to see the ball up close. They ran to the ball and touched it. It was warm and soft and sweet. They smiled and laughed and hugged the ball. + +They did not know that the ball was a trap. It was a magic ball that belonged to the cloud. The cloud was a wicked wizard who liked to catch children and turn them into animals. He had made the ball appear to lure Tom and Lily to the mountain. He had waited for them to touch the ball and then cast a spell on them. + +The ball suddenly turned into a cage and locked Tom and Lily inside. They screamed and cried and tried to get out. But it was too late. The cloud laughed and flew to the cage. He looked at Tom and Lily and said: + +"Hello, my little snacks. You are very foolish to come to my mountain. Now you will pay the price. I will turn you into mice and eat you for dinner. Ha ha ha!" + +Tom and Lily were very sorry that they had not listened to Mom and gone back before dark. They wished they had been honest and not lied to themselves. They wished they had not been greedy and curious. They wished they had never seen the ball. + +They hoped that Mom would find them and save them. But they did not know if she could. They did not know if anyone could. They were very afraid and sad. They hugged each other and prayed for a miracle. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to climb on the big rock that was near the slide. The rock was hard and gray and had many holes and bumps. + +"Look, I found a shiny thing in the rock!" Mia said, holding a small piece of metal in her hand. "It is very pretty and sparkly. Maybe it is expensive." + +Tom wanted to see the shiny thing. He climbed up to Mia and reached for her hand. "Can I have it?" he asked. "I want to keep it." + +Mia did not want to give the shiny thing to Tom. She liked it too much. She pulled her hand away and said, "No, it is mine. I found it first. You can find your own shiny thing." + +Tom was angry and sad. He wanted the shiny thing very much. He tried to grab it from Mia, but she was faster and ran away. Tom chased her around the rock, but he could not catch her. + +"Stop, Mia, stop!" Tom shouted. "Give me the shiny thing!" + +Mia did not stop. She ran to the slide and slid down. She was happy and laughed. She thought she was clever and Tom was silly. + +But then, she saw something that made her pause. There was a man standing by the slide, wearing a big hat and a coat. He had a tool in his hand that looked like a hammer. He was looking at the rock and the shiny thing in Mia's hand. + +"Hello, little girl," the man said. "What do you have there?" +Lily and Ben were twins who shared a room. They liked to play with their toys and read books before bedtime. But sometimes they had nightmares that made them scared and sad. They hoped they would not have nightmares tonight. + +"Good night, Lily. Good night, Ben," their mom said as she tucked them in. "Sweet dreams, my loves." + +"Good night, mom," they said together. They hugged their teddy bears and closed their eyes. + +But soon, Lily had a nightmare. She dreamed that a big, mean monster was chasing her in the dark. She ran and ran, but the monster was faster. She screamed and cried, but no one heard her. She was very afraid. + +She woke up with a loud gasp. She looked around and saw Ben sleeping next to her. She wanted to wake him up and tell him about her nightmare. She wanted him to hug her and make her feel better. + +But then she saw something that made her scream even louder. There was a monster under Ben's bed! It had big teeth, sharp claws, and glowing eyes. It looked at Lily and smiled wickedly. It reached out its paw and grabbed Ben's leg. Ben woke up and saw the monster. He was terrified. + +"Help! Help!" he shouted. "Lily, help me!" + +But Lily could not help him. She was too scared to move. She watched as the monster pulled Ben under the bed. She heard him scream and then nothing. She was alone with the monster. + +The monster crawled out from under the bed. It walked towards Lily. It said in a low, grumpy voice, "You're next, little girl." + +Lily wished it was all a bad dream. She hoped her mom would come and save her. But it was too late. The monster reached her and opened its mouth. Lily screamed and screamed, but no one came. The end. +Tom and Sue are brother and sister. They like to play with toys in the bathtub. One day, they want to fill the bathtub with lots of water and bubbles. They turn on the tap and watch the water rise. + +"Look, Sue, the bathtub is almost full!" Tom says. + +"Let's put more bubbles in!" Sue says. She grabs the bottle of soap and pours some into the water. The bubbles grow bigger and bigger. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Tom says. He splashes the water and makes the bubbles fly. + +But they do not notice that the water is still running. The bathtub is too full and the water starts to spill over the edge. The floor gets wet and slippery. + +"Oh no, Tom, the water is going out!" Sue says. + +"Quick, turn off the tap!" Tom says. + +But it is too late. The water has reached the door and flows into the hall. Mom and Dad hear the noise and come to see what is happening. + +"What have you done?" Mom says. She is angry and worried. + +"We are sorry, Mom, we just wanted to play with the bubbles," Tom says. + +"You are not smart, Tom and Sue. You should have watched the water and turned off the tap when the bathtub was full. Now you have made a big mess and wasted a lot of water," Dad says. + +Tom and Sue feel bad. They know they have done something wrong. They help Mom and Dad clean up the water and the bubbles. They learn to be more careful and responsible when they use the bathtub. They also learn to respect the water and not waste it. They promise to be smarter next time. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the woods. One day, they find a hut. The hut is small and old. It has a door and a window. + +"Who lives in the hut?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's look," Tom says. + +They go to the door and knock. No one answers. They go to the window and peek. They see a table, a chair, a bed and a lamp. They also see a lot of toys. There are dolls, cars, blocks and books. + +"Wow, this hut is lively. Someone likes to play here," Lily says. + +"Maybe it is a fairy or a gnome," Tom says. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is a boy. He is wearing a hat and a coat. He has a basket in his hand. + +"Hello, who are you?" the boy says. + +"We are Tom and Lily. We are sorry, we were just looking at your hut. It is very nice," Tom says. + +"This is my hut. I live here with my grandma. She is in the village. She sells honey and eggs. I bring her some berries and nuts. Do you want some?" the boy says. + +"Yes, please. Thank you. What is your name?" Lily says. + +"My name is Ben. Do you want to be my friends?" the boy says. + +"Yes, we do. Can we play with your toys?" Tom says. + +"Sure, you can. Come in, come in. The hut is lively with friends," Ben says. + +They go inside the hut. They share the berries and nuts. They play with the toys. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to watch the birds and the squirrels. + +One day, it was very cold and windy. Lila's mom said, "You need to wear your coat, Lila. It will keep you warm and cozy." Lila nodded and put on her pink coat. She liked her coat. It had buttons and pockets and a hood. + +Sam's mom said, "You need to wear your coat, too, Sam. It will protect you from the wind and the rain." Sam shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to wear my coat. It is too big and heavy and ugly. It makes me look like a bear." He pushed his blue coat away. + +Lila and Sam went to the park. They played on the swing and the slide. But soon, Sam felt very cold and wet. He shivered and sniffed. He wished he had his coat. + +Lila saw that Sam was unhappy. She said, "Sam, are you cold? Do you want to share my coat?" She took off her coat and wrapped it around Sam. Sam smiled and said, "Thank you, Lila. You are very kind and sweet. Your coat is very nice and soft." + +Lila and Sam hugged and laughed. They looked like two pink flowers in the gray park. They saw a bird flying in the sky. It was graceful and beautiful. It sang a song for them. + +Lila and Sam said, "Wow, look at the bird! It is so pretty and happy!" They clapped and cheered. They made a promise to each other. They said, "We will always be friends. We will always help each other. We will always share our coats." They smiled and nodded. They kept their promise. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their wagon in the park. They put their toys and snacks in the wagon and took turns to push it. + +One day, they saw a big hill in the park. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side. Ben said, "Let's push the wagon up the hill. It will be fun!" Lily was worried. She said, "But what if the hill is too steep? What if the wagon goes too fast?" Ben said, "Don't be scared. I will hold the wagon. Nothing will happen." + +They started to push the wagon up the hill. It was hard work. They had to push harder and harder. They were almost at the top when they heard a loud snap. The handle of the wagon broke off. The wagon started to roll down the hill. Lily and Ben screamed. They ran after the wagon, but it was too fast. They watched as the wagon crashed into a tree. Their toys and snacks flew out of the wagon. The wagon was broken. + +Lily and Ben were very sad. They cried. They lost their wagon and their things. They wished they had listened to Lily. They learned a lesson. They should not push the wagon up a big hill. It was too dangerous. They hugged each other and said sorry. They walked back to their homes. They hoped their parents would not be angry. They hoped they could get a new wagon someday. They were still best friends. +Lily was a spoiled girl who always got what she wanted. She had many toys, but she never shared them with anyone. She liked to keep them in her big room, where she played by herself. + +One day, her mom told her to clean her room, because it was very messy and dusty. Lily did not want to clean her room. She said it was too hard and boring. She wanted to play with her toys instead. + +Her mom was angry and said, "No, you have to clean your room now. You have too many toys and you don't take care of them. If you don't clean your room, I will not allow you to play with them anymore." + +Lily did not listen to her mom. She hid under her bed and played with her dolls. She thought her mom would not find her there. She was wrong. + +Her mom came into her room and saw her under the bed. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? You are not cleaning your room. You are being very naughty. You are not allowed to play with your toys anymore. I will take them away and give them to someone who will appreciate them." + +Lily was scared and sad. She realized she had made a big mistake. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. Please don't take my toys away. I will clean my room and share my toys. Please give me another chance." + +Her mom saw that Lily was sorry and decided to give her another chance. She said, "Okay, Lily, I will give you another chance. But you have to clean your room and share your toys. And you have to be more grateful and kind. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. Thank you for allowing me to keep my toys. I will be a good girl from now on." + +She hugged her mom and started to clean her room. She learned her lesson and became a better girl. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the garden. They have a big box of toys with cars, dolls, balls and books. One day, they decide to play hide and seek with their toys. They take turns hiding a toy and then finding it. + +Anna hides a red car under a bush. Ben counts to ten and then starts to look for it. He looks behind the fence, under the slide, in the sandbox, but he cannot find the car. He asks Anna for a hint, but she forgets where she hid it. They both search for the car, but they cannot see it. + +They are sad and want to play with the car. They ask their mom for help. Mom comes to the garden and sees the car under the bush. She picks it up and gives it to Ben. She says, "Here is your car. You forgot to look under the bush. Next time, try to remember where you hide your toys." + +Ben and Anna are happy and hug their mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. We will remember next time." They put the car back in the box and choose another toy to hide. They play hide and seek again, but this time they do not forget. They have a lively and fun time in the garden. +Lila and Tom are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They like to make noises and pretend they are racing. But their mom is busy in the kitchen and she does not like the noise. + +"Shh, kids, please be quiet. I have to make dinner and talk on the phone. You are too loud," mom says in a harsh voice. + +Lila and Tom try to be quiet, but they still want to play. They whisper to each other and move their cars slowly. But then Tom sees a screw on the floor. He thinks it is part of his car and he picks it up. + +"Look, Lila, I found a screw. Maybe it fell off my car. I can fix it," Tom says. + +But the screw is not from his car. It is from the table lamp that mom bought yesterday. She put it on the side table and forgot to screw it in. Tom does not know that. He tries to put the screw in his car, but it does not fit. He pushes harder and harder, but it only makes a hole in his car. + +"Stop, Tom, you are breaking your car. Give me the screw," Lila says. + +But Tom does not want to give it to her. He thinks it is his screw and he wants to keep it. He pulls it away from Lila and they start to fight. They tug and pull and shout and cry. They make a lot of noise and they knock over the table lamp. It falls to the floor and breaks. The glass shatters and the light goes out. + +Mom hears the crash and the screams. She hurries to the living room and sees the mess. She is very angry and scared. She yells at Lila and Tom and tells them to go to their room. She picks up the broken lamp and the screw and throws them in the trash. She is sad because she liked the lamp and it was expensive. + +Lila and Tom feel bad. They did not mean to break the lamp and make mom mad. They say they are sorry and they hug mom. Mom hugs them back and says she loves them. She tells them to be careful and not to play with screws. She says they can play with their cars again, but only if they are quiet and nice to each other. Lila and Tom nod and smile. They go to their room and play with their cars. They are quiet and nice to each other. They do not fight over the screw anymore. They are happy and mom is happy. The end. +Lily and Ben are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They are very happy because they love Grandma and Grandpa. They also love their big garden and their friendly dog. + +"Come on, Lily and Ben, it's time to pack your bags!" Mommy says. "We are leaving soon." + +Lily and Ben run to their room. They have a big bag each. They open their drawers and take out some clothes. They also take some toys and books. They put everything in their bags. + +"Are you done?" Mommy asks. She comes to their room and looks at their bags. "Oh, no, your bags are too full! You can't close them. And your room is very messy. You have to pack less and tidy up." + +"But, Mommy, we need all these things!" Lily says. "We want to show Grandma and Grandpa our new clothes and toys and books." + +"And we want to play with them!" Ben says. + +"I know, I know, but you can't take everything. You have to choose some things and leave some things. Grandma and Grandpa have clothes and toys and books for you, too. And you have to make your room nice and clean before we go. Come on, I'll help you." + +Mommy helps Lily and Ben to pack again. She helps them to pick some things and put them in their bags. She helps them to close their bags. She also helps them to put the things they don't take back in their drawers. She helps them to make their bed and put their shoes on the side. + +"There, now your bags are not too full and your room is very tidy. Well done, Lily and Ben!" Mommy says. "Are you ready to go?" + +"Yes, Mommy, we are ready!" Lily and Ben say. They take their bags and follow Mommy to the car. They are very excited to see Grandma and Grandpa. They hope they will have a lot of fun. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a bee flying near a flower. Anna wanted to touch the bee, but Ben said, "No, no, bee can hurt you. Bee has a sting." + +Anna did not listen to Ben. She reached out her hand to the bee. The bee felt Anna's hand and got angry. The bee stung Anna on her finger. Anna cried out loud. "Ow, ow, ow, it hurts!" + +Ben ran to Anna and hugged her. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. Let me see your finger." He saw a red spot on Anna's finger. He said, "We need to go to mom. Mom can make it better." + +They ran to the house and found mom in the kitchen. Mom saw Anna's finger and said, "Oh, poor Anna. You got stung by a bee. Don't worry, I have some ice and honey for you." She put some ice on Anna's finger and gave her a spoon of honey. She said, "Ice will make the pain go away. Honey will make you feel sweet. Honey is delicious. Honey comes from bees. Bees make honey from flowers. Bees are good, but they don't like to be touched. Next time, you can watch the bees, but don't touch them, okay?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom. I love you, mom." She smiled and licked the honey from her spoon. She said, "Honey is delicious. I like honey. I like bees, too, but I won't touch them anymore." + +Ben smiled and said, "I'm glad you're okay, Anna. I love you, too. Can I have some honey, too, mom?" + +Mom laughed and said, "Of course, Ben. You can have some honey, too. You are a good brother. You helped Anna. You can share the honey with her. Honey is delicious. You can both enjoy it." + +Anna and Ben hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom. We love honey. We love you, too." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I love you, too. You are the best kids. Now, let's have some more honey and then go back to the garden. Maybe we can see some more bees, but from a distance, okay?" + +Anna and Ben said, "Okay, mom. Let's go." They took their spoons and ran to the garden. They saw some more bees, but they did not touch them. They watched them and said, "Hello, bees. Thank you for the honey. Honey is delicious. You are good bees. Bye, bees." + +The end. +Ben and Lily are playing in the kitchen. They like to pretend they are chefs and make yummy food. They open the refrigerator and take out some cheese, bread, and jam. They put them on the table and start to make sandwiches. + +"Look, Lily, I can make a bow with the cheese!" Ben says. He pulls and twists the cheese until it looks like a ribbon. He puts it on top of his sandwich. + +"Wow, Ben, that's a very flexible cheese!" Lily says. She tries to do the same, but her cheese breaks. She feels sad. + +"Don't worry, Lily, you can have some of my cheese," Ben says. He shares his cheese with Lily and helps her make a bow. They smile and hug. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are very kind," Lily says. They finish their sandwiches and eat them. They are very tasty. + +"Let's clean up the kitchen now," Ben says. They put the cheese, bread, and jam back in the refrigerator. They wipe the table and wash their hands. + +"Good job, Ben and Lily!" Mom says. She comes into the kitchen and sees their sandwiches. "You made such lovely food! Can I have a bite?" + +"Sure, Mom, here you go," Ben and Lily say. They give Mom a sandwich and watch her eat it. + +"Mmm, this is delicious! And I love the cheese bows, they are very creative!" Mom says. She praises Ben and Lily for their cooking skills. + +"Thank you, Mom, we learned from you," Ben and Lily say. They feel proud and happy. + +They hug Mom and bow to her. They say, "We are the best chefs in the world!" +Tommy loved his dog Spot. Spot was big and brown and had a white spot on his chest. Tommy liked to play with Spot in the yard. They would run and jump and fetch a ball. + +But Spot was also stubborn. He did not like to listen to Tommy or his mom. He would bark and pull and dig holes. He would spoil the flowers and the grass. He would chew on Tommy's shoes and toys. + +One day, Tommy's mom got very angry at Spot. She said he was a bad dog and he had to stay in his crate. She said he had hurt her heel when he bit her shoe. She said he needed to learn to behave. + +Tommy felt sad for Spot. He did not want him to be in the crate. He wanted him to be happy and free. He thought Spot was not bad, just naughty. He decided to sneak out and let Spot out of the crate. + +He opened the door and called Spot. Spot was happy to see Tommy. He wagged his tail and licked his face. He followed Tommy to the yard. They played and had fun. + +But then Tommy's mom saw them. She was very mad. She yelled at Tommy and Spot. She said they had to go back to the crate. She said they had spoiled her day. + +Tommy felt sorry. He did not mean to make his mom mad. He hugged Spot and said he was sorry. He said he loved him, but he had to listen to his mom. He said he would try to teach him to be good. + +Spot looked at Tommy with his big brown eyes. He seemed to understand. He wagged his tail and licked his face. He followed Tommy to the crate. He lay down and waited. + +Tommy's mom saw them. She felt a little less mad. She said they were both good boys, but they had to learn. She said she loved them, but they had to behave. She said she would give them a treat later. + +Tommy smiled. He said he loved his mom and Spot. He said he would be good. He said he hoped Spot would not be stubborn. He said he would play with him again soon. +Anna and Ben liked to collect rocks. They had many rocks of different shapes and colors in their room. They wanted to show their rocks to their friends at the event. The event was a big party at the park with games and snacks. + +But when they woke up, the sky was gloomy. It was dark and rainy. Anna and Ben felt sad. They did not want to go to the park in the rain. They wanted to stay home and play with their rocks. + +"Maybe the rain will stop soon," Anna said. "Maybe we can still go to the event." + +"I don't think so," Ben said. "The rain is too strong. And look, our rocks are wet. They are not shiny anymore. They are dull and dirty." + +Anna and Ben looked at their rocks. They were right. Their rocks had lost their sparkle. They were not pretty anymore. They were just rocks. + +Anna and Ben cried. They had worked hard to collect their rocks. They had cleaned them and sorted them. They had made labels for them. They had planned to share them with their friends. But now their rocks were ruined. And they could not go to the event. They had nothing to do but cry. It was a bad day. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wants to feed the ducks. Tom wants to catch the fish. + +Lily takes some bread from her bag and breaks it into pieces. She throws the pieces into the water. The ducks swim to her and make loud noises. Lily laughs and claps her hands. + +Tom takes a stick from the ground and ties a string to it. He makes a hook from a paper clip. He puts a worm on the hook and lowers it into the water. He waits for a fish to bite. + +Lily and Tom are having fun. They do not see the sign that says "Do not go near the pond. The water is deep and dangerous." + +A big fish sees Tom's worm and swims to it. It bites the hook and pulls the string. Tom feels the tug and gets excited. He pulls the stick and tries to lift the fish. + +But the fish is too strong and heavy. It pulls Tom closer to the pond. Tom loses his balance and falls into the water. He screams and splashes. + +Lily hears Tom and turns around. She sees him in the pond. She is scared and runs to him. She reaches out her hand and says "Tom, Tom, grab my hand!" + +Tom sees Lily and tries to grab her hand. But the water is deep and cold. He cannot swim and he cannot breathe. He feels the fish pulling him down. + +Lily and Tom are in trouble. They need help. They hope someone will hear them and save them. They keep calling for help. They keep hoping. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play together. They had a lot of fun with their toys, their bikes and their pets. Sometimes they would wander around the park and look for flowers, birds and bugs. + +One day, they saw a big white tent in the park. They were curious and went closer. They saw many people dressed in nice clothes, some with flowers and some with rings. They heard music and clapping. They asked a lady what was happening. + +She smiled and said, "It's a marriage. Two people who love each other are saying 'I do' and becoming a family. They are very happy and so are their friends and families." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and nodded. They thought the people in the tent were attractive and kind. They wondered if they would ever have a marriage like that when they grew up. They decided to hold hands and pretend they were married too. They walked around the park and said 'I do' to each other. They felt happy and silly. They kissed each other on the cheek and giggled. They went back to their toys, their bikes and their pets. They were still friends who liked to play together. +Sam and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the camera. The camera is gray and shiny. It can make pictures of anything they want. + +One day, they take the camera outside. They want to make pictures of the sun and the sky and the flowers. They run and laugh and snap the camera. + +But the sun is very hot. It makes the camera hot too. Sam and Mia do not know this. They put the camera on the grass and go to look for more things to make pictures of. + +Soon, they smell something bad. They turn around and see smoke. The camera is on fire! The sun has burned the camera! + +"Oh no!" Sam cries. "Our camera!" + +"Help!" Mia shouts. "Water!" + +They run to the hose and turn it on. They spray water on the camera. The fire goes out, but the camera is broken. It is black and melted and ugly. + +Sam and Mia are sad. They hug each other and cry. + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Mia says. "I liked the camera too." + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Sam says. "It was not your fault. It was the sun's fault." + +They go inside and tell their mom what happened. Their mom is not angry. She hugs them and says, "It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you are safe. The camera is just a thing. We can get a new one. But you are my precious ones. You are more important than any camera." +Anna and Ben like to play near the creek. They have a boat made of wood and cloth. They sail the boat on the water and pretend they are pirates. + +One day, the boat hits a rock and breaks. The cloth rips and the wood cracks. Anna and Ben are sad. They love their boat. + +"Can we fix it?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe," Ben says. "We need some glue and a needle and thread. And we need to make the boat clean first." + +They take the boat out of the water and carry it to their house. They ask their mom for some glue and a needle and thread. Mom gives them what they need and helps them repair the boat. She shows them how to glue the wood and sew the cloth. + +They work hard and soon the boat is fixed. It looks like new. Anna and Ben are happy. They thank their mom and hug her. + +"Can we go back to the creek now?" Ben asks. + +"Sure," Mom says. "But be careful and don't get wet." + +Anna and Ben run back to the creek with their boat. They sail it on the water and pretend they are pirates again. They have fun and laugh. They love their boat. +Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys, but sometimes they fought over them. One day, they both wanted the same doll. Ben grabbed the doll and said, "Mine!" Lily said, "No, mine!" They started to pull the doll from each other. + +"Stop!" Mom said. "You are being naughty. You have to share your toys. You are brother and sister. You should love each other." + +"But I want the doll!" Ben said. + +"So do I!" Lily said. + +Mom sighed. She took the doll from them and said, "How about this? You can take turns with the doll. Ben, you can play with the doll for five minutes, then you have to give it to Lily. Lily, you can play with the doll for five minutes, then you have to give it back to Ben. OK?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not like the idea, but they did not want to make Mom angry. They nodded and said, "OK." + +Mom smiled and gave the doll to Ben. She said, "Good. Now, be nice to each other. I love you both." + +Ben and Lily hugged Mom and said, "We love you too, Mom." + +They played with the doll and other toys. They still pulled sometimes, but they also shared and said sorry. They learned to love each other more. +Sam and Mia like to play with their toy cars. They make zoom sounds and race them on the floor. Sometimes they pretend the cars are in a big city or a jungle or a desert. + +One day, it starts to rain outside. The rain makes loud noises on the window and the roof. Sam and Mia look at the rain and feel sad. They want to go outside and play in the park, but they cannot. + +"Rain, rain, go away!" Sam says. "We want to play!" + +"Maybe we can play with our cars in the rain," Mia says. "We can make them splash and slide and have fun." + +Sam thinks for a moment. He likes his cars very much. He does not want them to get wet and dirty. He shakes his head. + +"No, Mia, we cannot do that," he says. "The rain will ruin our cars. They are not for the rain. They are for the floor." + +Mia frowns. She thinks Sam is being silly. She likes to try new things with her cars. She does not care if they get wet and dirty. She can clean them later. + +"Sam, you are not fun," she says. "The rain is not serious. It is just water. Our cars will be fine. Let's go and play!" + +She grabs her car and runs to the door. Sam runs after her and tries to stop her. + +"Mia, wait!" he says. "Don't go! Don't take your car!" + +But Mia does not listen. She opens the door and runs outside. Sam follows her, but he is too late. Mia is already in the rain, zooming her car on the wet grass. She laughs and smiles. She does not see the big puddle in front of her. She zooms her car right into it. The car sinks and disappears. Mia gasps and cries. + +"Sam, help!" she says. "My car is gone!" + +Sam runs to her and hugs her. He feels sorry for her. He knows how much she loves her car. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," he says. "I tried to tell you. The rain is not for our cars. It is for the plants and the birds and the worms. Maybe we can find your car later, when the rain stops. But now, let's go inside and play with my car. We can share it and make zoom sounds and race it on the floor. Okay?" + +Mia nods and wipes her tears. She is still sad, but she is also glad that Sam is her brother. He is kind and generous. He shares his car with her and makes her feel better. + +They go inside and play with Sam's car. They make zoom sounds and race it on the floor. They pretend the car is in a big city or a jungle or a desert. They forget about the rain and have fun. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a new billboard near their house. It has a picture of a big red car and some words. + +"Look, Max!" Lily says. "A new billboard! What does it say?" + +Max tries to read the words. He knows some letters, but not all. He says, "It says... Vroom, vroom! The best car for you!" + +Lily nods. She likes the sound of vroom, vroom. She says, "I want to ride in that car. It looks fun!" + +Max agrees. He says, "Me too! Let's pretend we have that car. We can march to the billboard and make vroom, vroom noises!" + +Lily and Max hold hands and march to the billboard. They pretend they are driving the big red car. They make vroom, vroom noises and honk their horns. They have a lot of fun. + +A man sees them from his window. He smiles. He is the one who made the billboard. He thinks, "Those kids are so cute. Maybe they will grow up and buy my car someday." He goes back to his work. +Lily and Tom were going to visit their grandma in the woods. They had to pack their bags with clothes, toys and snacks. Lily liked to pack her pink dress and her doll. Tom liked to pack his blue shirt and his car. + +"Are you ready, kids?" Mom asked. "We have to go soon." + +"Yes, Mom!" Lily and Tom said. They put their bags in the car and got in. + +Mom drove the car on the road. She sang a song to make the trip fun. Lily and Tom sang along. They saw trees, flowers and birds on the way. + +But then they saw something else. It was a big, gray wolf. It was smelly and scary. It ran after the car and tried to catch it. + +"Mom, look!" Lily cried. "A wolf!" + +"Go away, wolf!" Tom shouted. "You can't have our snacks!" + +Mom saw the wolf in the mirror. She drove faster and honked the horn. The wolf was angry and loud. It barked and howled. + +But soon the wolf gave up. It was too tired and hungry. It stopped and went back to the woods. + +"Phew, that was close!" Mom said. "Don't worry, kids. We are safe now." + +"Yay, Mom!" Lily and Tom said. They hugged Mom and thanked her. + +They arrived at grandma's house. Grandma was happy to see them. She gave them hugs and kisses. She made them cookies and milk. They forgot about the smelly wolf and had a good time. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play games. Today, they see a big poster.

One day, their mom gave them a big box of chocolate and said, "You can have one piece each after dinner, but not before. This is a special treat for being good." She put the box on the top shelf and went to work. + +Tom and Anna waited for a long time, but they were very hungry and wanted chocolate. They looked at the box and thought, "Maybe we can have one piece now and mom won't know." They got a chair and climbed on it to reach the box. They opened the box and saw many pieces of chocolate. They smiled and took one each. + +But the chocolate was so yummy that they wanted more. They ate another piece, and another, and another. Soon, they ate all the chocolate in the box. They felt very full and sick. They also felt very bad for lying to their mom. They put the empty box back on the shelf and went to their room. + +When mom came home, she saw the box and said, "Wow, you didn't eat any chocolate. You are very good children. You can have two pieces each now." She opened the box and saw nothing. She was very sad and angry. She asked, "Where is the chocolate? Did you eat it all?" + +Tom and Anna looked at each other and felt very ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We ate all the chocolate. We were hungry and greedy. We lied to you. We are very sorry." Mom said, "I am disappointed in you. You broke my trust and you hurt your health. You have to learn to be honest and patient. No more chocolate for you for a long time. Go to bed now. You are very tired." + +Tom and Anna went to bed and cried. They learned their lesson. They never lied to their mom again. They also learned to share and enjoy their treats in moderation. They realized that chocolate is not worth losing their mom's love and their own happiness. +Lily liked to play with her mom's makeup. She liked to put it on her face and pretend she was a princess. She liked the red lipstick, the blue eyeshadow and the shiny glitter. But her mom did not like it when Lily used her makeup. She said it was for grown-ups and it could make Lily's skin bad. + +One day, Lily saw her mom's makeup bag on the table. She wanted to play with it so much. She looked around and saw that her mom was busy in the kitchen. She thought she could take the makeup bag and hide in her room. She reached for the bag and tried to pull it. But it was very heavy. It had a lot of makeup inside. Lily had to use both her hands and all her strength to lift it. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" her mom asked. She saw Lily with the makeup bag and ran to her. She tried to take the bag from Lily, but Lily did not want to let go. She resisted her mom and held the bag tight. She said, "No, no, no! It's mine! I want to play!" + +"Lily, stop it! You can't have my makeup! It's not a toy! It's very expensive and messy! Look, you already spilled some on the floor!" her mom said. She pointed to the thick powder that had fallen out of the bag. It was white and made the floor dirty. + +Lily looked at the powder and felt sorry. She did not mean to make a mess. She realized that her mom was right. She let go of the bag and said, "Sorry, mom. I'm sorry. I won't play with your makeup anymore." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. I know you like to play, but you have to ask me first. And you have to be careful with things that are not yours. How about we play with something else? Do you want to play with your dolls or your blocks?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I want to play with my dolls. Can you play with me?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, Lily. I can play with you. Let's go to your room and have some fun." They went to Lily's room and played with her dolls. Lily forgot about the makeup and was happy. +Ben and Lily were eager to swim in the big pool. They put on their swimsuits and ran to the water. But their mom stopped them. + +"Wait, you need to put on sunscreen and hats first. The sun is very hot today," she said. + +Ben and Lily did not want to wait. They wanted to swim now. They looked at each other and had an idea. They pretended to put on sunscreen and hats, but they did not. They ran to the pool when their mom was not looking. They jumped in the water and splashed each other. + +"Yay, we escaped!" Ben said. + +Lily laughed. "This is fun!" + +But soon they felt something wrong. Their skin started to hurt. It was red and hot. They got out of the water and cried. + +"Mom, mom, we are sorry. We did not put on sunscreen and hats. We wanted to swim. But now our skin hurts," they said. + +Their mom came and hugged them. She was not angry, but she was worried. She put some cream on their skin and gave them some water. + +"It's okay, I forgive you. But you have to be careful. Sunscreen and hats protect you from the sun. Next time, please listen to me and put them on before you swim. Then you can have fun and be safe," she said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to their mom and thanked her for the cream and water. They decided to wait until their skin felt better before they swam again. They were still eager to swim, but they were also eager to be smart and healthy. +Sara and Ben liked to play with bubbles. They had a big bottle of bubble soap and a wand with a hole. They would dip the wand in the soap and blow through the hole. Then many bubbles would come out and float in the air. They would try to catch the bubbles or pop them with their fingers. + +One day, they found an unusual bubble wand in the park. It was very big and had many holes. Sara and Ben were curious and wanted to try it. They dipped it in the soap and blew hard. But instead of many bubbles, only one big bubble came out. It was bigger than their heads. It was shiny and colorful. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sara said. "It's so big and pretty!" + +"Let's touch it!" Ben said. He reached out his hand to the bubble. + +But as soon as he touched it, something strange happened. The bubble did not pop. Instead, it spread. It spread over Ben's hand, then his arm, then his body. It covered him like a coat. Ben was inside the bubble. + +"Ben, Ben, are you okay?" Sara shouted. She was scared and worried. + +"I'm okay, I'm okay!" Ben said. He sounded muffled and far away. "But I can't get out! Help me, Sara!" + +Sara did not know what to do. She looked around for help. She saw a man walking his dog. She ran to him and told him what happened. + +"Please, mister, please help us!" Sara said. "My brother is stuck in a bubble!" + +The man looked at Sara and then at the bubble. He was surprised and confused. He had never seen such a thing before. He wondered how it was possible. + +He decided to help Sara and Ben. He took out his keys and tried to poke the bubble with them. But the bubble was too strong. It did not pop. It only spread more. It spread over the keys, then the man's hand, then his arm, then his body. He was also inside the bubble. + +Now Sara was alone. She was very scared and sad. She did not know what to do. She wished she had never found the unusual bubble wand. She wished she could go back to playing with normal bubbles. She wished she could hug her brother and the man and say sorry. + +She cried and cried. She hoped someone would come and save them. She hoped the bubble would go away. She hoped it was all a bad dream. +Tom and Anna like to play in the old barn. They find many things to see and touch. They see a big cobweb on the wall. It is gray and sticky. + +"Look, a cobweb!" Tom says. "I want to touch it." + +"No, don't touch it!" Anna says. "It is dirty and icky. And there may be a spider in it." + +Tom does not listen to Anna. He reaches his hand to the cobweb. He wants to feel it. But he is too short. He cannot reach it. + +"I need something to stand on," Tom says. He looks around. He sees a wooden box. It is big and heavy. He tries to move it. But it is too hard. He cannot move it. + +"Help me, Anna," Tom says. "Help me push the box." + +Anna does not want to help Tom. She does not want to touch the cobweb. She thinks it is a bad idea. + +"No, Tom," Anna says. "Let's play something else. Let's play with the hay or the horseshoes." + +But Tom does not want to play something else. He wants to touch the cobweb. He is stubborn. He pushes Anna. He makes her help him push the box. + +"Ow, Tom, stop it!" Anna says. "You are hurting me. You are pushing me too tight." + +But Tom does not stop. He pushes Anna harder. He makes her push the box harder. They push and push. The box moves a little. It moves closer to the wall. It moves closer to the cobweb. + +Tom is happy. He thinks he can touch the cobweb now. He climbs on the box. He stretches his hand. He reaches for the cobweb. + +But he does not see the spider. The spider is hiding in the cobweb. The spider is angry. The spider does not like Tom. The spider bites Tom. + +Tom screams. He feels a sharp pain. He drops his hand. He falls off the box. He cries. + +Anna is scared. She sees the spider. She sees the bite. She runs to Tom. She hugs him. She says sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Anna says. "I'm sorry I pushed you. I'm sorry you got hurt.

She puts a bandage on it. She gives Tom a hug. She gives him a cookie. She says it will be okay. + +"It will be okay, Tom," mom says. "But you should not touch cobwebs. They are dirty and icky. And they may have spiders in them. Next time, listen to Anna. She is your sister. She loves you. She knows what is good for you." + +Tom nods. He says sorry. He says he loves Anna. He says he loves mom. He says he will not touch cobwebs again. + +He learns his lesson. He is more careful. He is more kind. He is more happy. +Lisa and Tom are friends.

She likes the watch too. She wants to touch it and see how it works. + +"Can we see your watch, please?" Lisa asks the man. She smiles and hopes he will say yes. + +The man looks at Lisa and Tom. He sees their curious eyes and friendly faces. He smiles back and says, "Sure, you can see my watch. But be careful, it is very expensive. It is a gift from my wife. She loves me very much." + +He takes off his watch and gives it to Lisa. Lisa holds it gently and looks at it closely. She sees the numbers and the hands that move. She sees the buttons and the lights. She hears the beeps and the ticks. + +"It is amazing!" Lisa says. "How does it work?" + +The man explains to Lisa and Tom how his watch tells the time, the date, the temperature, and the direction. He shows them how to press the buttons and change the settings. He tells them stories about his wife and their travels. + +Lisa and Tom listen and learn. They are happy and amazed. They thank the man for sharing his watch and his stories. They give him back his watch and say goodbye. + +The man puts on his watch and waves to Lisa and Tom. He is happy and grateful. He likes their curiosity and their kindness.

He clapped his hands and smiled. + +"Wow, they are so pretty!" Mia agreed, hugging her teddy bear. She liked the pink and purple ones best. She giggled when they made funny noises. + +But not everyone was careful with the fireworks. Some boys were playing with them near the trees. They did not listen to their parents or the signs. They were careless and silly. + +"Hey, watch this!" one of the boys said, throwing a firework at a branch. He thought it was fun, but it was not. The firework hit the branch and started a fire. The fire spread quickly and made smoke and sparks. + +"Help, help!" the boy screamed, running away. He was scared and sorry. He wished he had not been careless. + +"Mom, dad, what's happening?" Sam and Mia asked, seeing the fire. They were worried and confused. + +"Don't worry, kids, the firefighters are coming. They will put out the fire and make sure everyone is safe. We have to move away from the fire and stay together. Come on, let's go." their mom said, holding their hands. + +"OK, mom, we will follow you." Sam and Mia said, trusting their mom. They hoped the fire would be complete soon and no one would be hurt.

They liked to play outside and explore the fields and woods. One day, they found a big hole in the ground. They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's go in and see," said Ben. He was brave and curious. + +"No, don't!" said Anna. She was thoughtful and careful. "It might be dangerous. Maybe there are snakes or spiders or monsters." + +Ben did not listen to Anna. He jumped into the hole and shouted, "Come on, it's fun!" + +Anna was scared, but she did not want to lose her friend. She followed him into the hole. It was dark and cold and wet.

Mia liked the monkeys and Sam liked the lions. They wanted to see them up close, so they sneaked away from their mom and dad. + +They found a fence with a sign that said "Do not enter".

You should never go into the lion's den. It is very dangerous. The lion is not a toy. He is a wild animal. He could have hurt you or eaten you." + +Mia and Sam said, "We are sorry. We did not know. We wanted to play. We will not do it again." + +Their mom and dad said, "You are very spoiled. You did not listen to us. You could have died. You ruined our vacation. You are grounded for a month." + +Mia and Sam felt bad. They learned their lesson. They never went into the lion's den again. +Lila and Tom liked to play with their toy boats in the pond. They made them from steel cans and sticks and cloth. They pretended they were sailors and went on adventures. + +One day, they saw a big duck swimming near their boats.

She saw Tom and Lily and smiled. + +"Hello, children, what can I do for you?" she asked. + +"Please, lady, can you get our ball? The dog took it and went to your yard," Lily said. + +"Oh, I'm sorry, that's my dog, Spot. He loves balls. Come with me, I'll get your ball," the lady said. + +She took Tom and Lily to the yard. She called Spot and gave him a treat. She took the ball from his mouth and gave it to Tom and Lily. + +"Here you go, children, here's your ball. I'm sorry Spot took it. He didn't mean to be bad. He just wanted to play," the lady said. + +"Thank you, lady, you are very nice. And thank you, Spot, you are a good dog. But please don't take our ball again," Tom said. + +"You're welcome, children. You can come and play with Spot anytime. He likes to make friends. But next time, bring another ball for him, too," the lady said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They hugged the lady and Spot. They said goodbye and went back to the park. They played with their ball again. They were happy. The ball was brilliant. It shone in the sun. +Lila and Tom want to play with their kite. They go to the park with Mom. The park has a big hill and a lot of wind. Mom helps them to fly the kite. The kite is red and blue and has a long tail. + +"Look, Mom, the kite is so high!" Lila says. + +"Yes, it is, honey. You are doing a great job!" Mom says. + +Tom wants to hold the kite too. He pulls the string from Lila. Lila is angry. She pushes Tom. Tom falls down. The string slips from his hand. The kite flies away. + +"Tom, you are so mean!" Lila cries. + +"Sorry, Lila, I just wanted to try!" Tom says. + +Mom runs to get the kite. But the kite is too fast. It goes over the trees and out of sight. Mom can't catch it. + +"Oh, no, our kite is gone!" Mom says. + +Lila and Tom are sad. They stand on the hill and watch the sky. They wish they could get their kite back. But they can't. They have lost their kite forever. +Ben and Sam were brothers who lived on a farm. They liked to help their dad with the animals and the crops. One day, their dad told them he had a surprise for them. He took them to the barn and showed them a big, shiny tractor. + +"This is a famous tractor," their dad said. "It belonged to a great farmer who won many prizes. He gave it to me as a gift, and now I want to share it with you. You can take turns to drive it, but you have to be careful and follow the rules." + +Ben and Sam were very excited. They wanted to drive the famous tractor right away. Ben went first. He climbed on the seat and started the engine. He drove around the field, feeling very proud. He saw Sam waiting by the barn, and he waved at him. + +"Can I have a turn now?" Sam asked. + +"Wait a little more," Ben said. "I'm not done yet." + +Ben drove for a long time, and Sam got bored. He decided to sit on the tractor's wheel and play with a stick. He did not see that Ben was coming back. Ben did not see him either. He was too busy looking at the sky and the trees. + +Crash! The tractor hit Sam and knocked him off the wheel. Sam fell to the ground and cried out in pain. Ben stopped the tractor and ran to him. He saw that Sam had a big cut on his leg and blood on his clothes. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ben said. "I didn't see you! Are you okay?" + +Sam was not okay. He was hurt and angry. He pushed Ben away and said, "You're mean! You didn't let me have a turn! You're selfish!" + +Their dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. He saw Sam's wound and Ben's tears. He took Sam to the house and bandaged his leg. He told Ben to sit on the porch and think about what he did. + +Ben felt very bad. He knew he was wrong. He wished he had shared the tractor with Sam. He wished he had paid attention to where he was going. He wished he could say sorry to Sam and make him feel better. + +He sat on the porch for a long time, until he saw Sam coming out of the house. Sam walked slowly, with a limp. He looked sad and tired. Ben got up and ran to him. He hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry I was mean and selfish. I'm sorry I hurt you. Can you forgive me?" + +Sam looked at Ben and saw that he was sincere. He felt his anger melt away. He hugged him back and said, "I forgive you, Ben. I'm sorry I was mad at you. You're my brother, and I love you." + +Their dad saw them and smiled. He was glad they made up. He said, "Boys, I'm proud of you. You learned a valuable lesson today. The famous tractor is not as important as your friendship. Sharing and caring are more important than having and keeping. And always watch where you're going, especially when you're driving a big, shiny tractor." + +The end. +Tommy loved the circus. He liked to see the animals, the acrobats, and the funny people. But he did not like the clowns. They had big noses, big shoes, and big smiles. They made loud noises and threw pies. They scared Tommy. + +One day, Tommy went to the circus with his mom and dad. They sat in the front row, near the ring. Tommy was happy to see the lions, the elephants, and the trapeze. He clapped and cheered. But then he saw the clowns. They came out of a tiny car, one after another. They ran around the ring, playing tricks and jokes. They came closer and closer to Tommy. + +Tommy felt a cold hand on his shoulder. He turned around and saw a clown. The clown had a red wig, a white face, and a big red nose. He smiled and said, "Hello, little boy. Do you want to join the fun?" Tommy was terrified. He wanted to run away, but he could not move. He could only tremble. + +The clown lifted Tommy from his seat and carried him to the ring. He put him on a stool and gave him a hat and a horn. He said, "Now you are a clown, too. You can make everyone laugh. Just blow the horn and say something funny." The clown winked and left Tommy alone. + +Tommy felt all the eyes on him. He heard the people whisper and giggle. He felt the horn in his hand. He did not want to be a clown. He did not want to make anyone laugh. He wanted his mom and dad. He wanted to go home. He felt a tear roll down his cheek. + +But then he remembered something. He remembered his favorite toy. It was a superhero. It had a cape, a mask, and a badge. It was powerful. It could fly, fight, and save the day. Tommy loved his superhero. He pretended to be his superhero all the time. He said, "I am not a clown. I am a superhero. I can do anything." + +He threw the hat and the horn away. He jumped off the stool and ran to his mom and dad. He hugged them and said, "I am sorry, I was scared. But I am brave now. I am a superhero." His mom and dad smiled and kissed him. They said, "We are proud of you, Tommy. You are a superhero. You are our hero." + +The people clapped and cheered. They were not laughing at Tommy. They were cheering for Tommy. They liked his courage and his imagination. They liked his superhero. The clown came back and said, "You are right, Tommy. You are a superhero. You are the best clown ever. You made everyone happy. Thank you for joining the fun." The clown gave Tommy a balloon and a hug. He said, "You are a friend, Tommy. You are a clown, too." Tommy smiled and said, "You are welcome, clown. You are a friend, too." Tommy was not scared of the clown anymore. He liked the clown. He liked the circus. He liked the fun. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a man with an orange rod. The rod has a string and a hook. The man puts a worm on the hook and throws the rod in the water. + +"Wow, what is he doing?" Tim asks. + +"He is fishing. He wants to catch a fish with his rod," Jen says. + +"I want to fish too. Can I have his rod?" Tim says. + +"No, you can't. He owns the rod. It is his, not yours. You have to ask him first," Jen says. + +Tim runs to the man and says, "Hello, sir. Can I use your rod? I want to fish too." + +The man smiles and says, "Sure, you can. But you have to be careful. Fishing is not easy. You have to wait and be quiet. And you have to let go of the fish if you catch one. Do you understand?" + +Tim nods and says, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, sir." + +The man gives Tim his rod and shows him how to hold it. Tim feels excited and happy. He hopes to catch a big fish. Jen watches him and cheers him on. They have fun in the park. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the sand. They had a big box of sand in their backyard, and they made castles and hills and tunnels with their shovels and buckets. One day, they decided to pretend they were explorers in the desert, looking for a hidden oasis. + +They put on their hats and sunglasses, and took a bottle of water and some snacks. They left a trail of stones behind them, so they could find their way back. They walked and walked, until they saw a big hill of sand. They climbed up the hill, hoping to see the oasis on the other side. + +But when they reached the top, they saw nothing but more sand. They were very hot and thirsty, and their water was almost gone. They felt sad and tired, and wanted to go home. They looked around, and saw a smooth stone with a hole in it. They wondered what was inside the hole. + +They went closer, and saw that the hole was filled with water. It was a small oasis, just for them. They were so happy, they shouted and cheered. They drank some water, and splashed each other. They ate their snacks, and rested in the shade. They thanked the smooth stone for saving them, and decided to name it Fred. + +They filled their bottle with water, and followed their trail of stones back to their sand box. They told their mom and dad about their adventure, and showed them Fred. They said Fred was their new friend, and they wanted to keep him. Their mom and dad smiled, and said they could. They put Fred in their sand box, and made him a castle. They played with Fred every day, and never forgot their desert oasis. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw an enormous slide. It was very high and shiny. They wanted to go on it. + +"Can we go on the slide, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Hold on tight and zip down fast," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily climbed up the stairs. They waited for their turn. Tom went first. He sat on the slide and pushed himself. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He zipped down very fast. He laughed and shouted. + +"Wow, that was fun!" he said. + +Lily went next. She was a little scared. She held on to the slide and slid down slowly. She did not zip. She did not laugh. She did not shout. + +"That was not fun," she said. + +Tom and Lily ran to Mom. Mom gave them a hug and a kiss. + +"Did you enjoy the slide?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, I did. It was awesome. I zipped down very fast," Tom said. + +"No, I did not. It was scary. I slid down very slow," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and said, "That's OK. You can try again another time. Or you can play something else. How about the swings?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They liked the swings. They ran to the swings and pushed each other. They felt happy and free. They saw a man selling ice cream. They wanted some. + +"Can we have some ice cream, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but only one each. What flavor do you want?" Mom asked. + +"I want chocolate. It has a good taste," Tom said. + +"I want strawberry. It has a pretty color," Lily said. + +Mom bought them ice cream. They licked and bit their ice cream. It was cold and sweet. They liked the taste. They thanked Mom and the man. + +They finished their ice cream and wiped their mouths. They played some more in the park. They had a lot of fun. They zipped, swung, ran, and jumped. They were tired and happy. They went home with Mom. They had a good day. +Anna and Ben like to play pirate. They have a big box that is their ship. They put on hats and scarves and pretend to sail on the sea. They look for treasure and fight with swords. + +One day, they find a map in the box. It has a big X on it. Anna says, "This is a treasure map! Let's follow it and find the gold!" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, let's go! But we have to be careful. There might be other pirates who want our treasure!" + +They take the map and walk around the house. They follow the dots and arrows on the map. They go up and down the stairs, in and out of rooms, and under and over furniture. They have fun and make pirate noises. + +At last, they reach the X. It is in the kitchen. They look around and see a big cake on the table. It has pink icing and sprinkles. It smells yummy. Anna and Ben smile and say, "We found the treasure! It is a cake!" + +They run to the table and grab a knife. They are about to cut the cake when they hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "Stop! That is not your cake! That is for Grandma's birthday! You can't eat it!" + +Anna and Ben drop the knife and look at Mom. They feel bad. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We didn't know. We were playing pirate and we found a map. It led us to the cake. We thought it was our treasure." + +Mom sighs and says, "I see. Well, I'm glad you had fun, but you can't play with the cake. It is very special. Grandma will be here soon and we have to finish decorating it. Why don't you help me?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "OK, Mom. We will help you. Can we have some cake later?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can have some cake later. After we sing Happy Birthday to Grandma. Now, let's put some candles and flowers on the cake. It will look very pretty." + +Anna and Ben help Mom with the cake. They forget about the map and the pirate game. They are happy to make Grandma happy. They think the cake is the best treasure ever. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they go to Ben's house after school. Ben's mom says they can have a snack on the table. She puts some cookies and milk on the table. + +"Thank you, mom!" Ben says. He runs to the table and grabs a cookie. He does not speak to Sam or share with him. + +Sam feels sad. He waits for Ben to speak to him or give him a cookie. But Ben does not. He eats all the cookies and drinks all the milk. He does not say sorry or thank you. + +Sam says, "Ben, you are not nice. You did not speak to me or share with me. You are not a good friend." + +Ben feels bad. He knows he was wrong. He says, "Sam, I am sorry. I was not nice. I did not speak to you or share with you. I was not a good friend. Can you forgive me?" + +Sam says, "Yes, I can forgive you. But next time, you have to be nice. You have to speak to me and share with me. You have to be a good friend." + +Ben says, "Yes, I will. I promise. Do you want to play with me?" + +Sam says, "Yes, I do. But first, let's clean the table. We have to be ready for dinner." + +Ben and Sam clean the table. They say thank you to Ben's mom. They play with cars and blocks. They speak to each other and share with each other. They are good friends. + +The moral value of the story is: Be nice to your friends. Speak to them and share with them. Say sorry and thank you. Be ready for dinner. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They made noises and motions like real cars. They had fun until Lily saw a big spider on her car. She screamed and threw the car away. The spider ran away too. + +Tom picked up the car and looked at it. He said, "It's just a spider, Lily. It can't hurt you. Don't be scared." + +But Lily was scared. She did not like spiders. She wept and ran to her mom. She hugged her mom and said, "Mom, there was a spider on my car. It was big and ugly. I don't want to play with cars anymore." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "It's okay, Lily. Spiders are not bad. They help us by eating bugs. They are afraid of us too. They don't want to play with cars either." + +She wiped Lily's tears and said, "Why don't you play with something else? How about your doll? She is light and soft. You can dress her up and comb her hair. She will make you happy." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Okay, mom. I will play with my doll. Thank you, mom. I love you." + +She took her doll and went back to the garden. She saw Tom still playing with his car. She said, "Sorry, Tom. I was scared of the spider. Do you want to play with my doll?" + +Tom shook his head and said, "No, thank you, Lily. I like cars. They are fast and cool. You can play with your doll. I don't mind." + +Lily and Tom played with their own toys. They were happy and friendly. They did not weep anymore. +Anna and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look at the water. Sometimes they saw fish and shells and seaweed. + +One day, they saw something new. It was red and hard and had many legs and claws. It was a crab. The crab was hiding under a rock. Anna and Ben wanted to see it better. + +"Look, Ben, a crab!" Anna said. She moved closer to the rock. + +"Be careful, Anna, it might be bad!" Ben said. He was afraid of the crab. + +Anna was not afraid. She reached out her hand to touch the crab. The crab saw her hand and snapped its claw. Anna screamed and pulled back her hand. It hurt a lot. + +Mom and Dad heard Anna scream and ran to her. They saw the crab and the rock and Anna's hand. They hugged Anna and checked her hand. It was not bleeding, but it was red and sore. + +"Anna, are you okay?" Mom asked. + +"It hurts, Mom, the crab was bad!" Anna cried. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, the crab was scared of you. It was trying to protect itself. You should not touch crabs, they can hurt you," Mom said. + +"I'm sorry, Mom, I wanted to see the crab," Anna said. + +"I know, Anna, but you have to be careful with animals. They are not toys. They have feelings and needs. You can gaze at them, but not touch them, okay?" Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom, I understand. Can I have a hug?" Anna said. + +"Of course, Anna, I love you. Come on, let's go get some ice cream. That will make you feel better," Mom said. + +Anna smiled and hugged Mom. Ben hugged them too. They left the crab and the rock and went to get some ice cream. They still liked to play in the sand and look at the water, but they did not touch the crabs anymore. They learned to respect them. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a shiny coin on the floor. They both wanted it, but they did not know who saw it first. + +"Give me the coin, it is mine!" Lily said. + +"No, it is mine, I saw it first!" Ben said. + +They started to pull the coin from each other. They were not happy. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the coin. + +"Stop, stop, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over a coin?" + +They both told her that they saw it first and wanted it. + +Mom shook her head. She said, "You are both wrong. This coin is not yours. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they lost it or left it by mistake. You should not take what is not yours. That is not honest." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to be dishonest. They asked mom what they should do. + +Mom said, "You should pray and ask God to help you find the owner of the coin. Maybe they need it more than you. God will be happy if you are honest and kind." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They let go of the coin and held mom's hand. They prayed and asked God to help them find the owner of the coin. They felt better. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I am proud of you. You are good children. Now, let's go and look for the owner of the coin. Maybe we can make them happy too." +Sam was a boy who liked to sleep late. He did not want to wake up early and see the sunrise. He said it was boring and not fun.

His mom drove to the airport. On the way, she pointed to the sky and said, "Look, Sam, the sunrise! It's so beautiful and colorful. Do you see it?" + +Sam opened his eyes and looked. He saw the sky was pink and orange and yellow. He saw the sun was shining and bright. He saw the clouds were fluffy and white. He felt a warm and happy feeling in his chest. He said, "Wow, mom, the sunrise is so attractive. It's like a painting. I like it." + +His mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, Sam. The sunrise is a gift from God. It's a sign of a new day and a new chance. It's a reminder to be thankful and hopeful. It's a wonder to enjoy and share. Do you understand?" + +Sam nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. The sunrise is special and good. I'm sorry I was rude and lazy. I want to see more sunrises with you. I want to go on the trip and have fun. Thank you for taking me, mom. I love you." + +His mom hugged him and said, "I love you too, Sam. You're a good boy. You're learning and growing. I'm proud of you." + +They arrived at the airport and boarded the plane.

The old man would give them some coins for their things, and they would use them to buy candy or toys. + +One day, they found a big copper pot in the trash. It was very heavy and dirty, but they were happy because they thought it was worth a lot of coins. They dragged it to the old man's shop, hoping he would be nice and give them a good price. + +But when they got there, they saw that the old man was not there. Instead, there was a new man, who had a harsh face and a mean voice. He looked at the pot and said, "This is junk. I'll give you one coin for it." + +Ben and Tom were shocked and sad. They knew the pot was worth more than that. They said, "No, thank you. We'll take it somewhere else." + +The new man got angry and said, "No, you won't. You'll give me the pot, or I'll call the police and tell them you stole it from me." + +Ben and Tom were scared and didn't know what to do. They wished the old man was there to help them. They looked around and saw a sign that said, "Back in 10 minutes." They hoped the old man would come back soon and save them from the new man. +Anna likes to ride her bike. She rides fast and slow. She rides up and down. She rides with her friend Ben. Ben has a red bike. Anna has a blue bike. + +One day, they ride to the park. They see a big rock. The rock is gray and hard.

He wanted a bigger bike like Sam's. + +Sam was a good friend. He wanted to make Tim happy. He said, "Do you want to lend my bike? You can ride it for a while. I can play with your bike." Tim smiled. He said, "Thank you, Sam. You are very nice. I will be careful with your bike." + +They swapped bikes and rode around the park. They had fun. They tried to go fast and make loud noises. They laughed and waved at each other. + +After a while, they stopped and gave back the bikes. They said, "That was fun. Your bike is good. But I like my bike too. It is regular for me." They hugged and said, "You are a good friend. Let's play again soon." They went home happy. +Jill loved to wear her pink dress. It had flowers and ribbons and made her feel like a princess. She wore it every day, even when it was dirty or cold. She did not want to wear anything else. + +One day, her mom said, "Jill, you need to wear a different dress. Your pink dress is too small for you. Look, it does not fit your arms or your legs. And it has a big hole in the back. You need a new dress." + +Jill did not like that. She cried and said, "No, no, no! I want to wear my pink dress. It is my favorite dress. I do not need a new dress." + +Her mom sighed and said, "Jill, I have a surprise for you. Come with me." She took Jill to her room and opened a big box. Inside the box was a new dress. It was purple and had stars and sparkles and made her look like a fairy. It was the most adorable dress Jill had ever seen. + +Jill gasped and said, "Wow! What a pretty dress! Can I wear it?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. It is your new dress. I made it for you. Do you like it?" + +Jill nodded and said, "Yes, I like it. Thank you, mom. Can I wear it now?" + +Her mom said, "Of course you can.

I hope you find a new friend who will love you as much as I did." + +She gave her pink dress to her mom and put on her purple dress. She twirled and danced and said, "Look at me, mom. I am a fairy princess. I love my new dress. It is my favorite dress yet." +Lily and Ben are playing in the pool. They like to splash and swim and have fun. Lily can dive very well. She can go under the water and see the fish and the rocks. Ben wants to dive too, but he is scared. He thinks the water is too deep and too cold. + +"Look at me, Ben!" Lily says. "I can dive like a dolphin!" She jumps into the water and disappears for a few seconds. Then she comes up with a big smile. "It's so cool down there! You should try it!" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, thank you. I like to stay on the surface. Diving is too hard for me." + +Lily frowns. She wants Ben to join her. She thinks diving is easy and fun. She has an idea. She swims to the edge of the pool and gets out. She runs to the bench where their clothes are. She picks up Ben's shirt and pants and throws them into the water. + +"Hey!" Ben shouts. "What are you doing? Those are my clothes!" + +Lily laughs. "Now you have to dive to get them! Come on, it's not hard. I'll help you." + +Ben is angry and sad. He doesn't want to dive. He doesn't want his clothes to get wet. He doesn't think Lily is funny. He thinks she is mean. He starts to cry. + +Lily sees Ben's tears and feels sorry. She realizes she made a mistake. She dives into the water and gets Ben's clothes. She brings them back to him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was just joking. I didn't mean to make you cry. Here are your clothes. They are not too wet. You can dry them in the sun." + +Ben stops crying and takes his clothes. He looks at Lily and says, "Thank you, Lily. I'm sorry I was scared. Maybe I can try to dive with you next time. But please don't throw my clothes again." + +Lily nods and hugs Ben. She says, "OK, Ben. I won't do that again. I'm sorry I was mean. You are my friend. I like to play with you." + +Ben smiles and hugs Lily back. He says, "You are my friend too. I like to play with you too." + +They go back to the pool and play together. They splash and swim and have fun. Sometimes Lily dives and sometimes Ben watches. They are happy. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with shiny things. One day, they found a big copper pot in the yard. It was old and dirty, but they thought it was a treasure. + +They took the pot to their room and tried to clean it. They used water, soap, and a brush. But the pot was still brown and dull. They were sad. + +Then, Tom had an idea. He said, "Let's use mom's polish. It will make the pot shiny and bright." Sam agreed. They sneaked into the kitchen and took the polish and a cloth. + +They went back to their room and rubbed the polish on the pot. The pot started to shine. They were happy. They thanked each other for the idea. + +But they did not know that the polish was not for copper. It was for silver. It had a bad smell and a bad taste. It made the pot poisonous. + +The next day, mom made soup for lunch. She did not have a big pot, so she used the copper pot that Tom and Sam had polished. She did not see the polish on it. She filled it with water, vegetables, and meat. She cooked it on the stove. + +She called Tom and Sam to eat. They came to the table and saw the soup. It looked good. They did not know it was bad. They took a spoon and tasted it. + +They felt sick. They coughed and choked. They fell on the floor. Mom saw them and screamed. She called for help. But it was too late. Tom and Sam were dead. + +They were foolish. They should not have used the polish. They should have asked mom first. They paid a big price for their shiny pot. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play and have fun. They were very happy when their mom and dad told them they were going on a holiday to a big park with many animals. They packed their bags and got in the car. + +At the park, they saw lions, elephants, monkeys, and many other animals. They wanted to see them all, but they had to stay close to their mom and dad. Sometimes they heard the animals make loud noises, like roar, trumpet, or chatter. They were curious and excited. + +One day, they saw a sign that said "Unknown Animal". They wondered what it was. They asked their mom and dad, but they said they didn't know either. They said it was a surprise and they had to wait until the next day to find out. + +Tim and Kim were very impatient. They wanted to see the unknown animal right away. When their mom and dad were busy talking to a guide, they sneaked away and followed the sign. They walked for a long time until they reached a big cage. + +Inside the cage, they saw a strange animal. It had a long neck, a big head, and spots all over its body. It looked like a mix of a horse and a giraffe. They had never seen anything like it before. They thought it was amazing. + +They went closer to the cage and tried to talk to the animal. They said hello and asked its name. The animal looked at them and opened its mouth. It made a loud noise that sounded like a roar and a neigh. Tim and Kim were scared. They ran away as fast as they could. + +They ran back to their mom and dad, who were very worried and angry. They asked them where they had been and why they had left them. Tim and Kim told them about the unknown animal and how it had roared at them. They said they were sorry and that they had learned their lesson. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were glad they were safe. They said the unknown animal was called an okapi and that it was very rare and shy. They said they should never go away from them without permission and that they should always respect the animals and their space. + +Tim and Kim nodded and said they understood. They said they still liked the okapi and wanted to see it again, but only with their mom and dad. They said they loved the park and the animals and the holiday. They said they loved their mom and dad too. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. Sara wanted to catch the water. She ran to the fountain and put her hands out. + +"Stop, Sara!" Ben shouted. "You will get wet and cold!" + +But Sara was stubborn. She did not listen to Ben. She wanted to catch the water. She touched the water and it splashed on her face. She laughed and tried to catch more water. + +Ben ran to Sara and pulled her away from the fountain. He was worried and angry. "Sara, you are silly! You will get sick! Come on, let's go to the swings!" + +But Sara did not want to go to the swings. She wanted to play with the water. She pulled away from Ben and ran back to the fountain. She caught more water and it splashed on her hair and clothes. + +Ben sighed and shook his head. He did not know what to do with Sara. She was so stubborn. He decided to wait for her until she was done. He hoped she would not catch a cold. He sat on a bench and watched her play. He wished she would listen to him. He loved her, but she made him crazy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the carpet. Sometimes they pretended they were racing or chasing each other. + +One day, they decided to try something new. They wanted to see how far their cars could go if they threw them at the wall. They thought it would be fun to watch them bounce and spin. They took turns throwing their cars as hard as they could. + +But they did not know that the wall was not very strong. It had a big crack in it that their mom and dad did not see. When Lily threw her car, it hit the crack and made a hole. The car went through the hole and disappeared. Lily was very sad. She loved her car. It was pink and shiny and had a cute sticker on it. + +She ran to the wall and tried to reach for her car. But the hole was too high and too small. She could not get her car back. She started to cry. Ben felt sorry for her. He wanted to help her. He had an idea. + +He ran to his room and got his stool. He brought it to the living room and put it under the hole. He climbed on the stool and looked through the hole. He saw Lily's car. It was on the other side of the wall, in the neighbor's yard. He also saw something else. It was a puppy. A small, fluffy, brown puppy. It was playing with Lily's car. It was wagging its tail and barking. It was adorable. + +Ben called Lily and showed her what he saw. Lily stopped crying and smiled. She liked the puppy. She wanted to play with it. She climbed on the stool and waved at the puppy. The puppy saw her and wagged its tail more. It dropped Lily's car and ran to the hole. It licked Lily's face and made her giggle. + +Lily and Ben decided to ask their mom and dad if they could go to the neighbor's yard and get Lily's car and meet the puppy. They hoped the neighbor would be nice and let them play with the puppy. They thought the puppy would be a good friend for them and their cars. They returned their stool to Ben's room and ran to find their mom and dad. They were very happy. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They see many bugs and flowers. They want to catch some bugs and keep them in a jar. They find a big jar in the shed and run to the garden. + +"Look, Sara, a red ladybug!" Ben says. He puts his hand on the leaf and tries to catch the ladybug. But the ladybug flies away. Ben is sad. + +"Don't be sad, Ben. There are more bugs. Look, a green grasshopper!" Sara says. She points to the grass. She is cheerful. She runs to the grasshopper and catches it in her hand. She puts it in the jar. + +"Wow, Sara, you are good at catching bugs!" Ben says. He is happy. He sees a yellow butterfly. He follows the butterfly and tries to catch it too. He puts it in the jar with the grasshopper. + +"Look, Ben, we have two bugs in the jar!" Sara says. She is proud. She puts the lid on the jar and makes some holes with a nail. She wants the bugs to breathe. + +"Let's call them Lily and Bob!" Ben says. He likes the names. He thinks they are funny. He puts a sticker on the jar and writes the names with a marker. + +"OK, let's call them Lily and Bob!" Sara says. She agrees. She smiles. She holds the jar and shakes it gently. She wants the bugs to see her. + +"Hello, Lily and Bob! We are Sara and Ben. We are your friends. We will take care of you. We will give you water and leaves. We will play with you. We hope you like your new home!" Sara says. She talks to the bugs. She is kind. + +"Hello, Lily and Bob! We are Sara and Ben. We are your friends. We will take care of you. We will give you water and leaves. We will play with you. We hope you like your new home!" Ben says. He repeats what Sara says. He is friendly. + +Lily and Bob hear Sara and Ben. They see their faces. They see the jar. They see the holes. They see the water and leaves. They are scared. They want to go back to the garden. They want to be free. They are not happy. +Ben and Lily like to paint. They have many colors and brushes. They paint on paper, on walls, on rocks, on anything they can find. They make pictures of animals, flowers, cars, stars, and more. + +One day, they find a big stick in the yard. It is smooth and long. Ben says, "This is a weapon. I can use it to fight bad guys." He swings the stick around and makes noises. Lily says, "No, this is not a weapon. This is a paintbrush. I can use it to make big paintings." She dips the stick in a bucket of paint and drags it on the ground. + +They start to argue. Ben says, "Give me the stick. It is mine. I found it first." Lily says, "No, it is mine. I want to paint with it." They pull the stick from each other. The paint splashes everywhere. It gets on their clothes, on their faces, on their hair. + +Mom hears the noise and comes outside. She sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why are you wasting paint?" Ben and Lily stop and look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were playing with the stick. We wanted to use it for different things." + +Mom says, "The stick is not a weapon or a paintbrush. It is a stick. You can share it and play nicely. But first, you have to clean up. Come on, let's go inside and wash up." She takes the stick and the bucket of paint. She leads Ben and Lily to the house. They follow her. They still have paint on them. They look funny. They giggle. They say, "We like to paint." +Anna was an adventurous girl. She liked to explore new places and try new things. She was not afraid of anything, except for one thing: the operation. + +Anna had a problem with her heart. Sometimes it would beat too fast or too slow, and she would feel very tired or dizzy. The doctor said she needed an operation to fix it. He said it was a safe and simple operation, but Anna was still scared. + +The day of the operation came. Anna had to wear a special gown and a bracelet with her name on it. She said goodbye to her mom and dad, who gave her a big hug and a kiss. They said they would be waiting for her when she woke up. + +Anna followed a nurse to a big room with a big bed and a lot of machines. The nurse was very nice and talked to Anna about her favorite things. She put a mask on Anna's face and told her to breathe deeply. She said it would make her feel sleepy and calm. + +Anna breathed in and out. She felt her eyes getting heavy. She thought about her mom and dad, and her teddy bear, and her favorite book. She thought about all the adventurous things she wanted to do after the operation. She smiled and closed her eyes. +Lily and Max were playing with their dolls in the living room. They liked to dress them up and pretend they were going to a party. Lily had a pink dress with a zipper on the back for her doll. Max had a blue shirt with buttons for his doll. + +"Look, Lily, I can button my doll's shirt by myself," Max said proudly. He showed Lily how he fastened each button with his fingers. + +"That's good, Max, but I can zipper my doll's dress by myself too," Lily said. She turned her doll around and pulled the zipper up and down. "See, it's easy." + +Max wanted to try the zipper too. He asked Lily if he could swap dolls with her. Lily agreed and handed him her doll. Max took the doll and tried to pull the zipper. But he pulled too hard and the zipper broke. The dress opened up and the doll's back was exposed. + +"Oops, I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to break your zipper," Max said. He felt bad for ruining Lily's dress. + +Lily was upset and started to cry. She snatched her doll back from Max and hugged it. "You broke my zipper, Max, you broke my zipper! It was my favorite dress and now it's ruined. You're so mean!" + +Max tried to apologize and explain that it was an accident. He said he would ask his mom to fix the zipper. But Lily didn't listen. She was too angry and sad. She ran to her room with her doll and slammed the door. + +Max felt sorry and sad too. He wished he hadn't broken the zipper. He wished he hadn't increased Lily's anger. He wished he could make her happy again. He wondered if Lily would ever forgive him and play with him again. He hoped she would, because he liked her and her doll. He learned that zippers are fragile and he should be careful with them. He decided to wait until Lily calmed down and then say sorry again. He hoped she would accept his sorry and be his friend again. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, they found a big box in the park. It had a shiny look and a funny smell. + +"Let's open it!" Lily said. "Maybe there is a treasure inside!" + +"No, don't!" Ben said. "It could be dangerous! Maybe there is a snake or a spider or a bomb!" + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She did not understand why he was scared. She wanted to see what was in the box. She pulled the lid and opened it. + +Inside the box, there was a rare thing. It was a big, green, slimy thing. It had many eyes and teeth and tentacles. It made a loud noise and jumped out of the box. It grabbed Lily and Ben with its tentacles and dragged them into the box. + +"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben screamed. But no one heard them. No one saw them. The thing ate them up and closed the lid. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they pretend to be actors in a theater. They make a stage with chairs and a curtain. They wear funny hats and clothes. + +Lily says, "I am a princess. You are a dragon. You want to take my crown. But I will fight you with my magic wand." + +Ben says, "I am a dragon. I am big and strong. I can breathe fire. I will fight you with my claws and teeth." + +They run and jump and make loud noises. They fight with their pretend weapons. They have fun. + +But then Ben grabs Lily's crown and runs away. Lily is angry. She chases Ben and tries to get her crown back. + +"Give me my crown, Ben! It is mine!" Lily shouts. + +"No, it is mine! I won it fair and square!" Ben shouts back. + +They tug and pull and push. They are not friends anymore. They are enemies. + +They forget they are in a theater. They knock over the chairs and the curtain. They make a big mess. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily and Ben fighting. She sees the mess. She is not happy. + +"Stop fighting, Lily and Ben! What are you doing? You are ruining the theater!" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben stop fighting. They look at Mom. They look at the mess. They feel bad. + +They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. + +They help Mom clean up the mess. They put the chairs and the curtain back. They take off the hats and clothes. + +They are friends again. They are actors again. They bow to Mom. Mom claps for them. + +They are warm and happy. They smile. The end. +Lily liked to play with her toys in her room. She had a big doll, a small car, a soft bear and a shiny bulb. The bulb was green and it could light up when she pressed a button. Lily loved the bulb because it made her feel happy and safe. + +One day, Lily heard a loud noise outside. She ran to the window and saw a big truck. The truck was carrying many things, but one thing fell off. It was a big box. The box hit the ground and broke. Lily saw something inside the box. It was a green bulb, just like hers. + +Lily wanted to help the green bulb. She put on her shoes and ran outside. She looked both ways and crossed the street. She reached the box and picked up the green bulb. It was cold and dark. Lily pressed the button, but nothing happened. The green bulb was broken. + +Lily felt sad for the green bulb. She hugged it and said, "Don't worry, green bulb. I will take you to my room and comfort you. You can be my friend and play with my toys. Maybe you will light up again someday." + +Lily carried the green bulb back to her room. She put it on her bed and gave it a kiss. She turned on her own green bulb and said, "Look, green bulb. This is your new home. You are not alone. You have me and my green bulb. We will make you happy and safe." + +The green bulb felt warm and cozy. It heard Lily's words and saw her smile. It felt a spark in its heart. It blinked and glowed. Lily gasped and clapped. She said, "You did it, green bulb! You lit up! You are not broken. You are beautiful!" + +Lily and the green bulb hugged and laughed. They played with the toys and had fun. They were happy and safe. They were friends. +Tom and Lily are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a yellow hat and a carrot nose. They give him a scarf and a smile. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Tom says. "Do you like the snow?" + +"Yes, I do!" Lily says in a funny voice, pretending to be the snowman. "But I am very cold. Do you have a poem for me?" + +Tom thinks hard. He likes poems. He remembers one his mom taught him. + +"Snow, snow, everywhere +White and soft and fair +Snow, snow, make me happy +But don't melt and make me sappy!" + +Tom says the poem out loud. Lily claps her hands. The snowman seems to wink. + +"That is a good poem!" Lily says. "Thank you, Tom!" + +They hug the snowman and each other. They are happy. They do not feel the cold. They do not see the sun coming out. They do not know that the snowman will soon freeze and then melt. They only know that they have a friend and a poem. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play outside. But today, Mom says they have to dress nice. They have to go to a party with Grandma and Grandpa. + +Tom and Anna do not want to dress nice. They want to wear their old clothes. They want to play with their ball and their bike. They do not want to go to a party. + +"Come on, Tom and Anna, it's time to dress," Mom says. She has two outfits for them. One is blue and one is pink. They are clean and shiny. + +"No, Mom, no!" Tom and Anna say. They run away from Mom. They run to the mailbox. They hide behind the mailbox. + +Mom is angry. She follows them to the mailbox. She sees them behind the mailbox. She says, "Tom and Anna, you are being naughty. You have to dress nice for Grandma and Grandpa. They love you and they want to see you. Don't you love them?" + +Tom and Anna feel sad. They love Grandma and Grandpa. They do not want to make them sad. They do not want to make Mom angry. They come out from behind the mailbox. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom and Anna say. They hug Mom. They say, "We love you and we love Grandma and Grandpa. We will dress nice for the party." + +Mom smiles. She hugs Tom and Anna. She says, "Thank you, Tom and Anna. You are good children. I love you too. Now, let's go and dress. The party will be fun. You will see." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One night, they saw a big star glow in the sky. It was very bright and pretty. + +"Look, Lily, a star!" Ben said. + +"Wow, Ben, it is so shiny!" Lily said. + +They wanted to get closer to the star, so they ran to the hill. They saw a man with a sack on his back. He was walking to the star. + +"Hello, mister, what are you doing?" Ben asked. + +"Hello, children, I am going to the star. It is a magic star that gives me gold. I am very wealthy because of the star," the man said. + +"Can we see your gold?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, here, take a look," the man said. He opened his sack and showed them his gold. It was very sparkly and heavy. + +"Wow, mister, you have a lot of gold!" Ben said. + +"Yes, I do, but I want more. The star gives me more gold every night. I am the richest man in the world," the man said. + +He closed his sack and walked to the star. He did not see the star fall from the sky. It landed on his head and knocked him out. His sack fell to the ground and his gold spilled out. + +Lily and Ben saw what happened. They ran to the man and tried to wake him up. + +"Mister, mister, are you okay?" Lily asked. + +"Ow, ow, ow, what happened?" the man said. He opened his eyes and saw the star on his head. It was not a star, but a rock with glitter on it. It was not magic, but a trick. + +"Where is my gold? Where is my sack?" the man asked. + +He looked around and saw his gold on the ground. He also saw Lily and Ben picking up some of his gold. + +"Hey, stop, that is my gold! Give it back!" the man said. + +He tried to get up, but he was too dizzy. He fell down again. + +Lily and Ben did not listen to him. They took some of his gold and ran away. They were happy and excited. + +"Look, Lily, we have gold!" Ben said. + +"Wow, Ben, we are so lucky!" Lily said. + +They went home and showed their gold to their mom and dad. They were very proud and happy. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are twins.

And I will not play with the ashtray anymore," Lily said. + +They hugged and kissed and went back to the living room. They cleaned up the mess and threw away the ashtray. They decided to play a different game. A game that was fun and safe and good. + +The moral of the story is: Do not play with things that are not toys. They can be dangerous and harmful.

They like cherries. They say, "Yes, let's do it!" + +Mom helps them find two big boxes. She says, "You can use these stickers to label the boxes. This one says 'stem' and this one says 'no stem'. Can you say that?" + +Sam and Tom repeat after mom. They say, "Stem. No stem." + +Mom says, "Good. Now let's start sorting. Look at this car. Does it have something long like a stem?" + +Sam says, "Yes, it has a wheel. A wheel is long and round." + +Mom says, "That's right. So we put the car in the box that says 'stem'. How about this doll? Does it have something long like a stem?" + +Tom says, "No, it does not. It has hair. Hair is short and soft." + +Mom says, "That's right. So we put the doll in the box that says 'no stem'. How about this book? Does it have something long like a stem?" + +Sam and Tom look at the book. They see a picture of a bald man on the cover.

Lily was the seeker and Max was the hider. Max ran behind a big tree and waited for Lily to find him. He was very quiet and still. He enjoyed hiding from Lily. + +Lily looked around the park for Max.

I don't know where Max is, but maybe he is hiding behind that big tree over there." + +Lily looked at the big tree and saw a pair of shoes sticking out from behind it. She recognized them as Max's shoes. She ran to the tree and shouted, "I found you, Max! You are not a good hider!" + +Max came out from behind the tree and saw the man on the bench. He recognized him as his dad. He had put on a fake mustache to surprise him. He laughed and said, "Hi, dad! You are a good helper!" + +Lily and Max thanked the man for helping them and gave him a hug. The man took off his fake mustache and said, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you had fun. But remember, hiding is not always good. Sometimes you need to be honest and show yourself. That's how you make friends and trust people." + +Lily and Max nodded and agreed. They learned that hiding can be fun, but only for a game. They enjoyed playing hide and seek, but they also enjoyed being found. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside.

I'm a friend," the voice said. + +Lily and Ben were surprised. They looked around, but they saw no one. + +"Who are you? Where are you?" Lily asked. + +"I'm the ball of light. I came from far away, to visit your planet. I'm sorry if I scared you," the voice said. + +"You're the ball of light? How can you talk?" Ben asked. + +"I can talk with my mind. I can also hear your thoughts. I'm here to learn about your world and to share some of my knowledge with you," the voice said. + +"Wow, that's amazing! Can you show us something?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, I can. Watch this," the voice said. + +The ball of light changed its shape and color. It became a flower, a butterfly, a fish, a bird, and a heart.

She said, "Don't be afraid, Anna. You are very brave. God loves you and he is with you. Do you want to pray with me?" + +Anna nodded. She did not know how to pray, but she wanted to try. The nurse held her hand and said, "Dear God, please help Anna to heal. Please make her lung strong and healthy. Please give her peace and comfort. Please watch over her mom and dad. Thank you for your love and care. Amen." + +Anna felt a little better. She said, "Thank you, nurse. Thank you, God." She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She hoped that soon she would be well and go home. She hoped that God would hear her prayer. +Tom and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans, spoons and forks, and anything they could find. They made a big mess on the floor and the table. + +"Look, Mia, I found some ice cream in the freezer!" Tom said. He opened the freezer and took out a big tub of ice cream. "Let's have some for dessert!" + +"Yay, ice cream!" Mia said. She ran to the freezer and grabbed a bowl and a spoon. "I want chocolate, Tom. What do you want?" + +"I want vanilla, Mia. But wait, we have to eat our dinner first. We can't have ice cream before dinner. That's not good for us." Tom said. He put the ice cream back in the freezer and closed the door. + +"But I'm hungry, Tom. And I don't like the food we made. It looks yucky." Mia said. She made a face and pointed at the plates of pretend food they had cooked. + +"Me too, Mia. But we have to eat it. We made it, so we have to eat it. That's the rule." Tom said. He picked up a fork and tried to eat a piece of pretend food. He spat it out and said, "Blech, this is gross!" + +Mia laughed and said, "I told you, Tom. It's yucky. Let's just have ice cream. Please, please, please!" + +Tom looked at Mia and then at the freezer. He wanted to have ice cream too. He thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, Mia. Let's have ice cream. But we have to do something first. We have to reverse our mess. We have to make the kitchen tidy again. We can't leave it like this. Mommy and Daddy will be mad at us." + +Mia nodded and said, "Okay, Tom. Let's reverse our mess. Let's make the kitchen tidy. Then we can have ice cream. Deal?" + +"Deal, Mia. Let's do it." Tom said. He and Mia put away the pots and pans, the spoons and forks, and the pretend food. They wiped the table and the floor with a cloth. They made the kitchen look nice and clean. + +"Good job, Tom and Mia. You reversed your mess. You made the kitchen tidy. You are very good chefs and very good helpers." Mommy said. She came into the kitchen and saw what they had done. She smiled and hugged them. "Now you can have some ice cream. You deserve it." + +"Yay, ice cream!" Tom and Mia said. They ran to the freezer and took out the ice cream. They scooped some into their bowls and ate it with big smiles. They were happy and proud. They had reversed their mess. They had made the kitchen tidy. And they had ice cream. The end. +Tommy loves spaghetti. He likes to eat it with cheese and sauce. He likes how it is smooth and long and fun to twirl. He always asks his mom for spaghetti for dinner. + +One night, Tommy has a dream. He dreams that he is in a big bowl of spaghetti. He is very happy. He can eat as much as he wants. He can swim and play in the sauce. He can make shapes and letters with the noodles. He says, "This is the best dream ever!" + +But then, something bad happens. A giant fork comes down from the sky. It pokes Tommy and lifts him up. Tommy is scared. He screams, "Help! Help! Mommy! Daddy!" He tries to wiggle and shake, but he cannot get free. He sees a big mouth open wide. He thinks, "Oh no! I am going to be eaten!" + +Tommy wakes up. He is in his bed. He is sweating and crying. He hears his mom come in. She hugs him and says, "What's wrong, Tommy? Did you have a bad dream?" + +Tommy nods. He tells her about his dream. He says, "I don't want to eat spaghetti anymore. It is scary and mean. It tried to eat me!" + +His mom says, "Oh, Tommy, it was just a dream. Spaghetti is not scary or mean. It is yummy and good. You don't have to be afraid of it. It was not real." + +Tommy says, "But it felt real. It hurt me. It made me sad. I hate spaghetti!" + +His mom says, "I'm sorry, Tommy. I know it was a bad dream. But maybe you can try to have a good dream next time. Maybe you can dream about something else that you like. Something that makes you happy and safe." + +Tommy says, "Like what?" + +His mom says, "Like your teddy bear. Or your favorite book. Or your friends. Or ice cream. Or anything you want." + +Tommy says, "OK. Maybe I will try that. But not spaghetti. Never spaghetti." + +His mom says, "OK, Tommy. I love you. Good night." + +She kisses him and tucks him in. She turns off the light and leaves. Tommy closes his eyes and tries to think of something good. But he still feels scared and sad. He wishes he never had that dream. He wishes he never liked spaghetti. He wishes he could forget. But he can't. He can still see the fork and the mouth and the spaghetti. He can still hear his scream. He can still feel the pain. He can't sleep. He can only cry. +Lily and her daddy went to the park. They saw many flowers and birds. Lily liked to run and play on the grass. Daddy liked to sit and read his book. + +"Look, daddy, a butterfly!" Lily said. She pointed to a yellow and black butterfly on a purple flower. + +"That's very pretty, Lily," daddy said. He smiled and put his book down. He got up and followed Lily to the flower. + +They watched the butterfly for a while. Then they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. The truck was smelly. It made black smoke come out of its back. + +"Yuck, what's that?" Lily asked. She covered her nose with her hand. + +"That's a garbage truck, Lily," daddy said. He also covered his nose. "It takes away the trash from the houses and the shops." + +"Why is it so smelly?" Lily asked. + +"Because the trash is old and dirty," daddy said. "We don't want to keep it around. We want to keep our park clean and nice." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She did not like the smelly truck. She liked the pretty butterfly. + +"Can we go back to the flower, daddy?" she asked. + +"Of course, Lily," daddy said. He took her hand and they walked back to the flower. The butterfly was still there. It flapped its wings and flew away. + +"Bye bye, butterfly," Lily said. She waved her hand. + +"Bye bye, butterfly," daddy said. He hugged Lily. They both enjoyed their day at the park. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a big rocket. Sam has a small car. They play in the park. + +"Can I play with your rocket?" Sam asks Tom. + +"OK, but be careful. It is my favorite toy," Tom says. + +Sam takes the rocket and makes it fly in the air. He has fun. Tom watches him and smiles. + +Then, a boy comes to the park. He sees the rocket and wants it. He runs to Sam and grabs the rocket. + +"Hey, that is mine!" Sam shouts. + +"No, it is mine now!" the boy says. + +He runs away with the rocket. Sam is sad. He cries. + +Tom sees what happens. He is angry. He runs after the boy. He catches him and takes the rocket back. + +"Give it back! It is not yours! It is Tom's!" he says. + +The boy is scared. He lets go of the rocket. He runs away. + +Tom and Sam hug. They are happy. + +"Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. You are honest and brave," Tom says. + +"You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You share your toys with me," Sam says. + +They go back to the park. They play with the rocket and the car. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily was a lamb who had a lot of wool. Her wool was bright and soft and warm. She liked to show off her wool to the other animals on the farm. She would say, "Look at me, I have the best wool in the world!" + +One day, a fox came to the farm. He saw Lily and her wool and he wanted to eat her. He said, "Hello, little lamb, you have such bright wool. Can I touch it?" Lily was proud and said, "Yes, you can. But be careful, it is very precious." + +The fox pretended to be nice and stroked Lily's wool. But he was really looking for a chance to bite her. He said, "Your wool is so soft and warm. Can I hug you?" Lily was flattered and said, "Yes, you can. But don't squeeze me too hard." + +The fox hugged Lily and then tried to snap his teeth on her neck. But Lily was quick and smart. She kicked the fox with her hooves and ran away. She said, "No, you can't. You are a bad fox. You want to hurt me." + +Lily ran to her mother and told her what happened. Her mother said, "Lily, you are lucky to escape. You have to be careful of strangers. They may not be what they seem. Your wool is not the most important thing. Your life is." + +Lily learned her lesson. She was not so vain and proud of her wool anymore. She was more humble and kind to the other animals. She realized that having bright wool was not as good as having a good heart. +Lily liked to play with her mom's jewelry box. She liked the shiny things that sparkled in the light. She liked to put them on her fingers and pretend she was a princess. One day, she found a very pretty ring in the box. It had a big diamond that looked like a star. Lily put it on her finger and felt very happy. + +She ran to show her mom the ring. She said, "Look, mom, look what I found! It is so pretty and shiny! Can I keep it, please?" Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "That is a very special ring, Lily. It was a gift from your dad when he asked me to marry him. He said I was his charming princess and he wanted to be with me forever. It is a very precious ring, and I love it very much." + +Lily looked at the ring and then at her mom. She said, "I love you, mom, and I love dad too. You are my charming princess and he is my charming prince. Can I wear the ring for a little while, and then give it back to you?" Her mom nodded and kissed her. She said, "Of course, my sweet Lily. You can wear the ring for a little while, and then put it back in the box. But remember, it is not a toy, it is a symbol of love. And love is the most precious thing of all." +One day, a girl named Mia went to the park with her mom. She liked to play on the swings and the slide, and make new friends. She saw a boy with a big ball, and she asked him if she could play with him. + +"Can I play with your ball, please?" Mia said, in a polite voice. + +The boy looked at her and nodded. He gave her his ball, and said, "My name is Leo. What's your name?" + +"Mia. Thank you for sharing your ball, Leo. You are very nice," Mia said, and smiled. + +They played with the ball for a while, and had fun. They threw it, kicked it, and bounced it. But then, something bad happened. The ball rolled away, and hit a big dog. The dog was angry, and barked loudly. It ran after the ball, and grabbed it with its teeth. It bit the ball, and made a hole in it. + +"Oh no! The dog broke your ball, Leo! I'm so sorry!" Mia said, and felt sad. + +Leo was sad, too. He liked his ball, and now it was ruined. He wanted to cry, but he didn't. He looked at Mia, and said, "It's not your fault, Mia. The dog was mean. You didn't do anything wrong." + +Mia hugged Leo, and said, "Thank you for being so kind, Leo. You are a good friend. Maybe we can get a new ball, and play again." + +Leo hugged Mia back, and said, "Yes, maybe we can. You are a good friend, too. Thank you for playing with me, Mia." + +They walked back to their moms, and told them what happened. Their moms were sorry, too, but they were proud of their children. They said they were very polite, and brave, and sweet. They gave them a treat, and said they could play together again. Mia and Leo were happy, and they rubbed their noses together. They were friends. +Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a pet rabbit named Fluffy who lived in a hutch. Fluffy loved to eat herbs that grew in the garden, like parsley, mint and basil. + +One day, Tim and Lily decided to feed Fluffy some herbs. They picked a bunch of parsley and mint and put them in a basket. They ran to the hutch and opened the door. Fluffy was happy to see them and hopped out. + +"Here, Fluffy, we have some yummy herbs for you," Tim said, holding out the basket. + +"Wait, Tim, we have to wash them first," Lily said, grabbing the basket. "They might have dirt or bugs on them. That's not good for Fluffy." + +Tim was impatient and did not want to wash the herbs. He thought Lily was being bossy and silly. He snatched the basket back and said, "No, Lily, we don't have to wash them. Fluffy likes them like this. He's a rabbit, not a baby. Let me feed him." + +Tim and Lily started to tug on the basket, each wanting to feed Fluffy their way. Fluffy was scared and confused by their shouting and pulling. He ran back into the hutch and hid under some hay. + +Tim and Lily stopped fighting when they saw Fluffy run away. They felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had been mean to each other and to Fluffy. They put the basket down and went to the hutch. They gently called Fluffy's name and apologized. + +"Fluffy, we're sorry, we didn't mean to scare you," Tim said. + +"Fluffy, we're sorry, we didn't mean to be mean to you," Lily said. + +They stroked Fluffy's fur and gave him a carrot. Fluffy came out of his hiding place and nibbled on the carrot. He licked Tim and Lily's faces and snuggled with them. + +Tim and Lily hugged Fluffy and each other. They learned their lesson. They decided to be helpful and kind to each other and to Fluffy. They agreed to wash the herbs before feeding them to Fluffy. They also agreed to share the basket and take turns feeding him. + +They played happily in the garden with Fluffy, who enjoyed his fresh and clean herbs. They were a happy family. +Tom likes to paint. He has many colors of paint and a big paper. He wants to paint a whale. A whale is a big animal that lives in the water. He saw a whale in a book and liked it. + +He takes his gray paint and makes a big shape on the paper. He adds a tail, a fin and an eye. He thinks his whale looks good. He wants to make it more fun. He takes his blue paint and makes some water around the whale. He takes his green paint and makes some plants under the water. He takes his yellow paint and makes a sun in the sky. + +He looks at his painting and smiles. He is proud of his whale. He shows his painting to his mom. She likes it too. She says he is a good painter. She gives him a hug and a kiss. He is happy. He hangs his painting on the wall. He wants to paint more animals. He likes to paint. +Sam was a little boy who liked to dream. Every night, he would close his eyes and imagine he was in a different place. Sometimes he dreamed he was a pirate, sometimes he dreamed he was a superhero, sometimes he dreamed he was a dinosaur. + +One night, he dreamed he was in a gray world. Everything was gray: the sky, the trees, the houses, the people. He felt sad and bored. He wanted to see some colors and have some fun. He looked around and saw a girl who was also gray. She was sitting on a bench and holding a gray balloon. + +"Hi, I'm Sam. What's your name?" he asked her. + +"I'm Mia. I live here. This is my balloon. It's ordinary," she said. + +"Ordinary? Don't you want a balloon that is red or blue or yellow?" he asked. + +"No, I don't. I don't know what those are. I only know gray. Gray is good. Gray is safe. Gray is normal," she said. + +Sam felt sorry for Mia. He wanted to show her something different. He wanted to share his dreams with her. He took her hand and said, "Come with me. I'll show you something amazing. I'll show you my dreams." He closed his eyes and wished very hard. + +Suddenly, they were in a colorful world. The sky was blue, the trees were green, the houses were pink, the people were smiling. Mia gasped and dropped her balloon. She looked at Sam with wide eyes. + +"Wow, this is beautiful. This is wonderful. This is... what is this?" she asked. + +"This is my dream. This is how I see the world. This is how I want the world to be. Do you like it?" he asked. + +"I love it. I love it so much. Thank you for showing me. Can we stay here?" she asked. + +"Sure, we can. As long as we dream, we can stay here. We can be anything we want. We can have fun. We can be happy. We can be friends," he said. + +They hugged and laughed. They played and explored. They forgot about the gray world. They only saw the colors. They only felt the joy. They only dreamed. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. + +"Look at my tower!" Lily said. "It is very tall and strong. I used all the red blocks." + +Ben looked at Lily's tower and felt jealous. He wanted to have all the red blocks too. He thought they were the best blocks. He decided to take some of the red blocks from Lily's tower when she was not looking. + +He reached out his hand and grabbed a red block from the bottom of the tower. But he did not notice that the tower was wobbly. As soon as he took the block, the tower fell down with a loud crash. The blocks scattered all over the floor. + +Lily heard the noise and turned around. She saw her tower ruined and Ben holding a red block. She was very angry and sad. She started to cry. + +"Ben, you are mean!" she shouted. "You broke my tower! Give me back my red block!" + +Ben felt scared and sorry. He did not mean to break Lily's tower. He just wanted to have some red blocks too. He tried to give the red block back to Lily, but she did not want it. She pushed him away and ran to the corner of the playroom. + +The teacher heard the commotion and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily crying and Ben holding a red block. She asked them what happened and listened to their story. + +She said, "Lily, I know you are upset, but Ben did not do it on purpose. He made a mistake and he is sorry. Can you forgive him and share your blocks with him?" + +Lily sniffed and nodded. She said, "OK, I forgive you, Ben. But you have to be careful with my blocks. They are not yours. They are for everyone to play with." + +Ben said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I won't take your blocks again. Can we be friends and play together?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, we can be friends and play together. Come on, let's build a new tower. We can use all the colors and shapes of blocks." + +They hugged and went to pick up the blocks. They worked together to build a new tower that was taller and stronger than before. They were happy and proud of their tower. They clapped their hands and cheered. The teacher smiled and said, "Well done, Lily and Ben. You are good friends and good builders. You made a beautiful tower. You are safe and happy in the playroom." +Lily was a little rabbit who loved to hop. She hopped all over the meadow, looking for yummy carrots and flowers. She was happy and free, but she also wanted to learn more about the world. + +One day, she met a wise old owl who lived in a big tree. The owl had seen many things and knew many stories. He told Lily that he was rich in wisdom, and that he could teach her some of his secrets. Lily was curious and wanted to be wise too, so she asked him to share his wisdom with her. + +The owl agreed, but he said that wisdom was not easy to get. He said that Lily had to hop to different places and find different things that would help her learn. He gave her a list of things to look for, such as a shiny stone, a soft feather, a sweet berry, and a loud sound. He said that each thing had a lesson for her, and that she had to bring them back to him. + +Lily was excited and eager to start her quest. She thanked the owl and hopped away, following his directions. She found the shiny stone near a stream, and learned that it was smooth and hard because of the water. She found the soft feather under a nest, and learned that it was warm and light because of the bird. She found the sweet berry on a bush, and learned that it was juicy and tasty because of the sun. She found the loud sound in a cave, and learned that it was scary and echoey because of the space. + +She hopped back to the owl with her four things, feeling proud and happy. She showed him what she had found, and asked him what they meant. The owl smiled and said that she had done well, and that she had learned some important lessons. He said that the shiny stone taught her about patience, the soft feather taught her about kindness, the sweet berry taught her about gratitude, and the loud sound taught her about courage. He said that these were some of the qualities of wisdom, and that she had become richer in wisdom by finding them. + +Lily thanked the owl again, and said that she was glad to have met him. She said that she wanted to keep learning and hopping, and that she hoped to see him again. The owl nodded and said that he was proud of her, and that he hoped to see her again too. He said that wisdom was a gift that could be shared and grown, and that he was happy to have a new friend. He wished her well, and watched her hop away, smiling. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to search for bugs and flowers. They had a small jar to keep their finds. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big green bug!" Max said, holding up the jar. "It has six legs and two wings. What is it?" + +Lily looked at the bug. She did not know what it was. She shrugged. "Maybe it is a fly. Or a grasshopper. Do you want to keep it?" + +Max nodded. He liked the bug. He put the jar in his pocket. He saw a red flower. He picked it and gave it to Lily. "This is for you. It smells nice." + +Lily smiled. She smelled the flower. It did smell nice. She thanked Max. She saw a yellow fruit on a tree. She pointed to it. "What is that? It looks yummy." + +Max looked at the fruit. He did not know what it was. He shrugged. "Maybe it is a lemon. Or a banana. Do you want to try it?" + +Lily nodded. She liked the fruit. She climbed the tree and picked the fruit. She peeled it and broke it in half. She gave one half to Max. "Let's taste it." + +They tasted the fruit. It was sweet and juicy. It was incredible. They liked the fruit. They ate it all. They smiled at each other. + +"That was the best fruit ever!" Max said. + +Lily agreed. "It was. I wonder what it was." + +They decided to call it a sunfruit. They searched for more sunfruits. They had a lot of fun. +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They see a bald man sitting on a bench. He has a big hat on his head. + +"Look, Mia, he has no hair!" Ben says. + +"Maybe he is cold," Mia says. + +They run to the bald man and say hello. The bald man smiles and takes off his hat. + +"Hello, kids. I'm Mr. Lee. Do you like my hat?" he says. + +"Yes, it is nice. But why do you wear it?" Ben asks. + +"Because the sun is very bright and hot. It can hurt my skin if I don't wear a hat," Mr. Lee says. + +"Oh, I see. Does it hurt when you have no hair?" Mia asks. + +"No, it doesn't hurt. It just feels different. Some people have hair, some people don't. It's okay to be different," Mr. Lee says. + +He puts his hat back on and shakes it. It makes a funny sound. + +"Wow, what is that?" Ben says. + +"It's a bell. I put it inside my hat to make it more fun. Do you want to try?" Mr. Lee says. + +He gives his hat to Ben and Mia. They take turns to shake it and laugh. + +"Thank you, Mr. Lee. You have a fun hat," Ben says. + +"Yes, thank you. You are very nice," Mia says. + +They give the hat back to Mr. Lee and wave goodbye. They run back to their mom and tell her about the bald man with the fun hat. +Lily loves to bake. She likes to mix flour, sugar, eggs and butter in a big bowl.

He tells her to wait for him in the kitchen. He gives her a box of cake mix and a can of frosting. He says they are easy and fast to use. + +Lily is not happy. She does not like cake mix and frosting. She thinks they are not real and not good. She wants to bake a cake from scratch, like she always does. She wants to use expensive ingredients, like chocolate, cream and berries. She thinks they are special and delicious. She wants to make her mom happy and proud. + +She decides to bake her own cake. She looks for the expensive ingredients in the fridge and the pantry. She finds some, but not enough. She sees her dad's wallet on the table. She takes some money from it. She thinks he will not mind. She puts on her coat and shoes. She goes to the store by herself. + +She buys the expensive ingredients. She carries them in a big bag. She walks back to her house. She does not see the car coming. It honks and brakes. Lily drops the bag. The expensive ingredients spill on the street. Lily is scared and sad. She cries. The driver gets out of the car. He is angry and worried. He sees Lily and the mess. He calls her dad. He tells him what happened. He says he is sorry. He says Lily is lucky. He says she could have been hurt. He says she should not have gone to the store alone. He says she should not have taken the money. He says she should have listened to her dad. + +Lily's dad comes to the street. He sees Lily and the driver. He sees the expensive ingredients. He is shocked and angry. He hugs Lily. He says he is glad she is okay. He says he is sorry. He says he loves her.

She always showed her paintings to her mom and dad, who were very proud of her. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big tree with many birds on it. She wanted to paint the birds, so she asked her mom for her colors and paper. Her mom gave them to her and said, "You can paint here, but don't go too far. I will be on the bench and watch you." + +Lily nodded and started to paint. She looked at the birds and tried to copy their shapes and colors. She was very happy and focused. She did not notice that one of the birds flew away from the tree and landed on the ground. The bird was curious and wanted to see what Lily was doing. It walked closer and closer to her. + +Lily saw the bird and smiled. She said, "Hello, bird. Do you like my painting?" The bird tilted its head and chirped. It seemed to like Lily's painting. It hopped on her paper and looked at it. Lily laughed and said, "You are a funny bird. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The bird nodded and flapped its wings. It wanted to be Lily's friend. It followed Lily wherever she went. It played with her, sang with her, and shared her snacks. Lily was very happy and said, "You are the best friend ever. I will call you Blue, because you are blue like the sky." + +Lily and Blue had a lot of fun in the park. They were a success. Everyone who saw them smiled and said, "What a gifted girl and a friendly bird!" Lily and Blue did not care. They only cared about each other. They were happy. +Anna and Ben like to play on the beach. They pretend they are pirates and look for treasure. They dig holes in the sand and find shells and stones. They put them in a bucket and say, "Arrr, we are rich!" + +One day, they play too close to the water. They do not see the tide coming in. The tide is the water that goes up and down. Sometimes it is low and sometimes it is high. When it is high, it covers more of the beach. + +"Look, Ben, I found a big shell!" Anna says. She holds it up and smiles. + +"Wow, that is a nice shell, Anna!" Ben says. He runs over to see it. + +But then, a big wave comes and splashes them. It is cold and salty. It takes their bucket and their shells and stones. It also takes Anna's shell. They are wet and sad. + +"Hey, give us back our treasure!" Ben shouts at the water. He tries to chase the wave, but it is too fast and too strong. + +"Ben, come back!" Anna cries. She is scared. She does not want to lose Ben too. + +But Ben does not hear her. He runs into the water and tries to grab the bucket. He does not see the next wave coming. It is bigger and stronger than the first one. It knocks him down and pulls him under. He cannot breathe. He cannot swim. He cannot scream. + +Anna watches in horror. She screams for help, but no one hears her. She is alone on the beach. She wishes they had not played so close to the water. She wishes they had not pretended to be pirates. She wishes Ben was still with her. She wishes the water was clean and not dirty. She wishes the tide would go away and never come back. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the snow. They have a big red sled. They go to the hill near their house. The hill is very icy. They can go very fast on the sled. + +"Are you ready, Lila?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, I am ready, Tom!" Lila says. + +They sit on the sled. Tom holds the rope. Lila holds Tom. They push the sled. The sled zips down the hill. They feel the wind on their faces. They laugh and scream. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Tom says. + +"Look, there is a mule!" Lila says. + +She points to a brown animal. The animal has long ears and a fuzzy tail. It is standing by a fence. It is watching them. + +"Hello, mule!" Lila says. + +The mule does not say anything. It just looks at them. It does not like the noise. It does not like the snow. It is cold and bored. + +The sled reaches the bottom of the hill. It stops. Lila and Tom jump off. They run to the mule. They want to pet it. + +"Can we touch you, mule?" Lila asks. + +The mule shakes its head. It snorts. It kicks the fence. It does not want to be touched. It wants to be left alone. + +"Sorry, mule. We did not mean to bother you," Tom says. + +Lila and Tom go back to their sled. They decide to leave the mule alone. They go up the hill again. They want to zip down the hill some more. They have a lot of fun in the snow. The mule watches them. It wishes it had a friend. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys and books and games. They have fun every day. + +One day, they go to the park with Mom. The park has swings and slides and a sandbox. Lily and Ben run and jump and laugh. They swing high and slide fast and make castles in the sand. They see many birds and flowers and bugs. The sun is bright and warm. + +But after a while, they feel tired. Their eyes are heavy and their legs are slow. Mom says, "It's time for a nap." Lily and Ben nod. They are sleepy. They hug Mom and walk to the car. They bring their favorite toys with them. + +In the car, Mom plays soft music. Lily and Ben snuggle with their toys. They close their eyes and drift away. They have sweet dreams of the park and the fun they had. They nap until they get home. Then they wake up and smile. They are ready for more fun. +Sara likes to pick flowers in the garden. She has a journal where she draws the flowers and writes their names. She likes to learn new words and colors. + +One day, she sees a dull flower that she does not know. It is brown and dry and has no smell. She picks it and takes it to her journal. + +"Mommy, what is this flower?" she asks, showing her journal. + +Mommy looks at the journal and smiles. "That is not a flower, Sara. That is a seed pod. It used to be a flower, but now it is ready to make new flowers." + +"Really? How?" Sara asks, curious. + +Mommy explains, "Inside the seed pod, there are tiny seeds. If you plant them in the soil and water them, they will grow into new flowers. Do you want to try?" + +Sara nods, excited. She and Mommy go to the garden and find a spot to plant the seeds. Sara hopes they will grow into bright and beautiful flowers, not dull and dry ones. She writes in her journal, "Today I learned about seed pods. They are not flowers, but they can make flowers. I planted some seeds. I will water them and watch them grow." She draws a picture of the seed pod and the flowers she hopes to see. She is happy with her journal. +Lily and Sam went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they went into the water, but not too far. The water was cold and made big waves. + +One day, they saw a big rock in the water. It was black and shiny and had some green plants on it. Lily wanted to go and touch it. She said to Sam, "Let's go to the rock. It looks fun." + +Sam was scared. He said, "No, Lily. The rock is too far. The waves are too big. They might push us or hurt us. We should stay here." + +Lily was brave. She said, "Don't be scared, Sam. I will hold your hand. We can go slowly and carefully. The rock is not so far. We can do it." + +Sam was not sure, but he loved his sister. He said, "OK, Lily. I will go with you. But we have to be very careful. And we have to listen to Mom and Dad. If they call us, we have to go back." + +Lily and Sam held hands and walked into the water. They felt the waves splash on their legs and feet. They giggled and squealed. They got closer and closer to the rock. They saw some fish and crabs near the rock. They were colorful and funny. + +They reached the rock and touched it. It was hard and rough and wet. They felt proud and happy. They looked at each other and smiled. They had done it. They had gone to the rock. They were brave. +Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going to visit their grandma at the lake. They loved to play in the water and see the fish and ducks. + +When they got there, grandma gave them a big hug and a smooth cookie. She said, "You can go and splash in the lake, but be careful and stay close to the shore. And don't make too much noise, or you will scare the animals." + +Lily and Tom nodded and ran to the lake. They put on their swimsuits and jumped in. The water was cool and clear. They splashed each other and laughed. They saw some fish swimming by and tried to catch them. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they saw a duck with her ducklings. The duck was swimming with her babies and teaching them how to dive. Lily and Tom thought they were very cute and wanted to play with them. They swam closer and splashed the duck and her ducklings. They thought it was funny. + +But the duck did not think it was funny. She was angry and scared. She quacked loudly and flapped her wings. She tried to protect her babies from the splashing. She did not want to play with Lily and Tom. She wanted them to go away. + +Lily and Tom did not understand. They thought the duck was playing too. They kept splashing and laughing. But then, they heard grandma calling them. She sounded worried. They swam back to the shore and saw grandma waiting for them. + +She said, "What were you doing? You were splashing the duck and her ducklings. You were making too much noise. You were scaring them. They are not toys. They are living creatures. They have feelings. How would you like it if someone splashed you and your family?" + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They did not mean to hurt the duck and her ducklings. They did not know they were bothering them. They said, "We are sorry, grandma. We did not know. We just wanted to play with them. They were so cute." + +Grandma said, "I know, my dears. But you have to be gentle and respectful with the animals. They have their own lives and needs. They are not here for your amusement. You have to watch and listen and learn from them. They can teach you many things. But you have to be quiet and kind." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They understood. They said, "We will, grandma. We will be quiet and kind. We will watch and listen and learn. We will not splash the animals anymore. We will only splash each other." + +Grandma smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's good, my dears. I'm proud of you. Now, let's go and have some more smooth cookies. And maybe later, we can watch the sunset over the lake. It's very beautiful." + +Lily and Tom smiled and followed grandma. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be gentle and respectful with the animals. They learned to splash only each other. +Lila and Sam loved to play with their toy dolphins in the bathtub. They had four dolphins: blue, pink, green and yellow. They pretended that the dolphins were friends and had adventures in the water. + +One day, Lila had a new idea. She said to Sam, "Let's add some bubbles to the water. It will be more fun for the dolphins." Sam agreed and they poured some bubble bath into the tub. The water became white and foamy and the dolphins disappeared under the bubbles. + +Lila and Sam tried to find their dolphins, but they could not see them. They felt sad and worried. They wondered if the dolphins were scared or lost. They started to cry. + +Their mom heard them and came to the bathroom. She saw the bubbles and the tears. She asked, "What's wrong, my sweeties?" + +Lila and Sam told her what happened. They said, "We wanted to play with our dolphins, but we added too many bubbles and now we can't find them. We miss our dolphins. We are sorry, mom." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. The dolphins are still there. They are just hiding under the bubbles. Let's drain some water and see if we can find them." She turned on the faucet and let some water out of the tub. The bubbles became smaller and the dolphins started to appear. Lila and Sam saw their blue, pink, green and yellow dolphins. They were happy and relieved. They grabbed their dolphins and hugged them. + +Their mom said, "See? The dolphins are fine. They were just playing a game of hide and seek with you. They are very enthusiastic and playful animals. They like to have fun, just like you. But sometimes, too much of a good thing can be a problem. Next time, be careful with how much bubble bath you add. A little bit is enough to make the water nice and soft. Too much can make it hard to see and enjoy your toys." + +Lila and Sam nodded and said, "We understand, mom. Thank you for helping us find our dolphins. We love you and we love our dolphins." They kissed their mom and their dolphins and continued to play in the tub, with fewer bubbles and more smiles. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many peaches. The peaches are red and yellow and look yummy. + +"Let us pick some peaches," Ben says. "We can eat them for snack." + +Anna nods. She likes peaches. They run to the tree and reach for the peaches. But the tree is very high. They cannot get the peaches. + +"We need a ladder," Ben says. "Or a stick. Or a chair." + +Anna looks around. She sees a big rock. She has an idea. + +"Ben, come here," she says. "I have a plan. We can work together." + +She tells Ben her plan. Ben likes it. They push the rock to the tree. They climb on the rock. Now they are closer to the peaches. + +"Good job, Anna," Ben says. "You are smart." + +"Thank you, Ben," Anna says. "You are strong." + +They smile at each other. They pick some peaches. They are happy. + +But then they hear a loud roar. They turn around. They see a big bear. The bear is hungry. He wants the peaches. He is angry. + +Anna and Ben are fearful. They drop the peaches. They jump off the rock. They run away. They scream for help. + +"Help, help, a bear, a bear!" they shout. + +The bear chases them. He is fast. He is scary. + +But then they see their moms. Their moms are in the park. They hear their screams. They see the bear. They are brave. They grab some sticks. They wave them at the bear. They yell at the bear. + +"Go away, go away, bad bear, bad bear!" they shout. + +The bear is afraid. He does not like the sticks. He does not like the moms. He runs away. He leaves the peaches. + +Anna and Ben are safe. They hug their moms. They thank their moms. + +"Thank you, mom, thank you, mom," they say. + +Their moms hug them back. They are proud of them. + +"You are brave, Anna, you are brave, Ben," they say. + +They take them to the tree. They pick some peaches. They share them with their moms. They are delicious. + +They are happy. They are friends. They are a team. +Ben and Mia were twins, but they were very unique. Ben liked to play with cars and trucks, and Mia liked to draw and sing. One day, they heard a loud noise outside. It was a hurricane! + +"Mom, what is that?" Ben asked, scared. + +"It's a very big wind, Ben. It can break things and make a mess. We have to stay inside and be safe," Mom said. + +"Can we play with our toys?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, you can, but only in the living room. And don't make too much noise, okay?" Mom said. + +Ben and Mia nodded and ran to the living room. They found their favorite toys and started to play. Ben made a road with his cars and trucks, and Mia made a picture with her crayons and paper. They were having fun, but they also heard the hurricane outside. It sounded like a monster. + +"Ben, I'm scared," Mia said. + +"Me too, Mia. But Mom is here. She will protect us," Ben said. + +He looked around and saw a big chair. He had an idea. + +"Come on, Mia. Let's seat on the chair. It's like a fort. The hurricane can't get us there," Ben said. + +He helped Mia climb on the chair and they sat together. They hugged their toys and each other. They felt a little better. + +"Ben, you're a good brother," Mia said. + +"Mia, you're a good sister," Ben said. + +They smiled and waited for the hurricane to go away. They knew they were unique, but they also knew they were a team. +Sam and Lily are twins. They like to watch TV in the living room. But today, Mom says they have to go to the park. She says TV is not good for them all the time. + +"Can we take the TV with us?" Sam asks. + +"No, silly. The TV is too big and heavy. You can't carry it," Mom says. + +"But we want to watch our show. It is very fun," Lily says. + +Mom smiles. She has an idea. She takes out her phone and shows them a picture. It is a picture of a big slide at the park. + +"Look, this is the slide at the park. It is very fast and fun. You can slide down and laugh. Do you want to try it?" Mom asks. + +Sam and Lily look at the picture. They see the slide. It is very high and long. It looks very fast and fun. + +"Wow, that looks cool. Can we go now?" Sam asks. + +"Yes, let's go. But you have to put on your shoes and jackets first. It is cold outside," Mom says. + +Sam and Lily run to their room. They put on their shoes and jackets. They are very excited. They want to go to the park and slide on the slide. They forget about the TV. They hug Mom and say thank you. Mom is happy. She carries her phone and keys. She takes Sam and Lily to the park. They have a lot of fun. +Tom and Anna are playing in the yard. They have a big box of toys. Tom finds a hammer and wants to use it. He says to Anna, "Look, I have a hammer. I can make things with it." + +Anna says, "No, Tom, that is a bad toy. You can hurt yourself or break things with it. Give it to me, please." + +Tom says, "No, it is mine. I want to play with it. Go away, Anna." + +He runs away from Anna and sees a chair. He thinks it is a good thing to hammer. He hits the chair with the hammer. Bang, bang, bang! + +Anna follows him and sees what he is doing. She is scared and angry. She says, "Tom, stop! You are breaking the chair. That is not nice. Mom and Dad will be mad at you." + +Tom does not listen. He keeps hammering the chair. He breaks the leg of the chair. The chair falls down. Tom falls down too. He hurts his knee. He cries, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Anna runs to him and helps him up. She says, "Tom, are you okay? I told you the hammer was a bad toy. You should not play with it. You should sit and be quiet." + +Tom says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I was wrong. The hammer is a bad toy. It hurts me and the chair. I don't want to play with it anymore. Can you give me a hug?" + +Anna says, "Okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to say sorry to Mom and Dad too. And we have to fix the chair. Come on, let's go inside and get a band-aid for your knee." + +They hold hands and go inside. They leave the hammer in the yard. They do not play with it again. +Tim and Sam were playing with their toy soldiers and trucks in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were in a big war and make loud noises. Tim had a red truck that could shoot a missile. Sam had a green truck that could carry many soldiers. + +"Bang! Bang! I got you, Sam!" Tim shouted, as he fired his missile at Sam's truck. + +"No, you didn't! You missed!" Sam said, as he dodged the missile and drove his truck closer to Tim. + +"Yes, I did! You have to pay me a candy!" Tim said, as he grabbed his missile and ran after Sam. + +"No, I don't! You have to pay me a candy!" Sam said, as he ran away from Tim. + +They chased each other around the backyard, laughing and arguing. They did not see that the missile had landed in a pile of mud and dirt. A big dog came by and smelled the missile. He thought it was a bone and picked it up with his mouth. + +"Hey, that's my missile!" Tim yelled, as he saw the dog running away with his toy. + +"Come back, dog!" Sam yelled, as he followed Tim. + +They ran after the dog, but he was too fast for them. He ran to the front yard and dropped the missile on the grass. He licked his lips and wagged his tail. + +"Yuck! That's disgusting!" Tim said, as he picked up his missile. It was covered in mud and dog saliva. + +"Yuck! That's disgusting!" Sam agreed, as he looked at the missile. + +They threw the missile in the trash and went back to the backyard. They decided to play something else. + +"Let's play hide and seek!" Tim suggested. + +"OK, you count and I hide!" Sam said. + +They played hide and seek until their mom called them for lunch. They had fun and forgot about the missile and the dog. +Lila and Sam were friends who liked to play at the park. They both loved to swing on the swings, but there was only one swing left. Lila got there first and sat on the swing. Sam was sad and asked her to share. + +"Please, Lila, can I have a turn?" Sam said. + +"No, Sam, this is my swing. I got here first. You can play with something else." Lila said. + +Sam was persistent. He did not want to play with something else. He wanted to swing. He tried to pull Lila off the swing, but she held on tight. They both started to yell and cry. + +"Stop it, Sam! You are hurting me!" Lila said. + +"Let go, Lila! You are not fair!" Sam said. + +A grown-up heard them and came to see what was wrong. He asked them what happened and why they were fighting. Lila and Sam both told their side of the story, but they did not tell the truth. They both said that the other one took the swing from them. + +The grown-up was not happy. He knew that they were lying. He told them that lying was bad and that they had to tell the truth. He also told them that they had to share and take turns. He made them get off the swing and sit on a bench until they were sorry. + +Lila and Sam felt ashamed. They knew that they did wrong. They looked at each other and said sorry. They hugged and made up. They decided to swing together, one on each side of the swing. They smiled and laughed and had fun. They learned their lesson and never lied or fought again. +Lily was a cute bunny who loved to play in the sunshine. She liked to hop and skip and nibble on carrots. She had many friends who also liked to play with her. But sometimes, Lily wanted to play alone. She did not want to share her toys or her carrots. She thought she was happier by herself. + +One day, Lily saw a big rainbow in the sky. It was so bright and colorful. She wanted to see it up close. She hopped and hopped, but the rainbow was still far away. She saw her friends following her. They also wanted to see the rainbow. But Lily did not want them to join her. She said, "Go away! This is my rainbow. I don't want to play with you." + +Her friends felt sad and hurt. They stopped following her and went back to their homes. Lily kept hopping, but the rainbow was still far away. She felt tired and lonely. She wished she had someone to talk to and to share her carrots with. She looked back and saw that her friends were gone. She felt sorry for being mean to them. She realized that she was not happier by herself. She needed her friends. + +She turned around and hopped back to her friends. She saw them playing in the sunshine. They looked happy and cheerful. She went up to them and said, "I'm sorry for being mean to you. I was wrong. Can I join you? Can we play together and see the rainbow?" + +Her friends smiled and hugged her. They said, "Of course you can join us. We are happy to see you. We missed you. We can play together and see the rainbow." + +Lily felt happy and grateful. She learned that sharing and being kind are more important than having things for herself. She played with her friends in the sunshine and saw the rainbow. It was the most beautiful rainbow she had ever seen. +Lily and Max were very happy. They were going to the theater with Mom and Dad. They liked to watch shows with songs and colors and funny people. They put on their coats and hats and got in the car. + +On the way to the theater, they saw a big store. It had many windows with toys and books and clothes. Lily and Max wanted to go inside and look at everything. They asked Mom and Dad if they could stop. + +"Sorry, kids, we don't have time," Mom said. "We have to get to the theater before the show starts. Maybe we can come back another day." + +"But Mom, look at that!" Max pointed to a window. There was a unique toy. It was a robot that could talk and move and light up. It was shiny and blue and had a friendly face. Lily and Max had never seen anything like it. + +"Wow, that is a unique toy," Dad said. "But we can't buy it now. It's probably very expensive and we have to save our money for other things." + +Lily and Max felt sad. They really wanted the unique toy. They wondered if they would ever see it again. They kept looking at the window until the car drove away. + +When they got to the theater, they forgot about the toy. They saw many people and heard music and smelled popcorn. They found their seats and waited for the show to begin. They were excited and curious. + +The show was amazing. It had songs and colors and funny people, just like they hoped. It also had animals and magic and surprises. Lily and Max laughed and clapped and sang along. They had so much fun. They forgot about everything else. + +After the show, Mom and Dad asked them if they liked it. Lily and Max nodded and smiled. They said it was the best show ever. They thanked Mom and Dad for taking them. They hugged and kissed them. + +On the way back to the car, they passed by the store again. They saw the window with the unique toy. They looked at it for a moment. Then they looked at each other. They shrugged and smiled. + +They didn't need the unique toy. They had each other and their family and their memories. They had a unique day. They were happy. +Lily was a duck who liked to swim in the pond. She had two big wings that helped her fly in the sky. She had many friends who also liked to swim and fly with her. + +One day, she met a new friend. His name was Tim and he was a turtle. He had a hard shell and four small legs. He could swim, but he could not fly. He was very slow on land and in water. + +"Hello, I am Lily. Do you want to swim with me?" Lily asked Tim. + +"Hello, I am Tim. I want to swim with you, but I am slow. Can you wait for me?" Tim asked Lily. + +"Of course, I can wait for you. You are my friend. Come on, let's swim together." Lily said to Tim. + +Lily and Tim swam in the pond. They saw many fish and frogs and plants. They had fun and talked a lot. Lily did not mind that Tim was slow. She liked him because he was kind and funny. + +They became good friends and swam and played every day. Sometimes, Lily flew in the sky and showed Tim the clouds and the sun. Tim watched her and smiled. He was happy to have a friend like Lily. +Sara wanted to ride her bike, but she was scared. She had a new bike with two wheels, but she did not know how to balance. She missed her old bike with four wheels, but her mom said she was too big for it. + +Her dad said he would help her. He said he had a special license to teach her how to ride. He showed her a card with his picture and some letters. He said it was his driver's license, and it meant he could drive a car. He said he would hold her bike and run with her until she felt ready to go by herself. + +Sara put on her helmet and got on her bike. Her dad held the back of her seat and the handlebar. He said, "Ready, set, go!" and they started to move. Sara felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She liked it, but she was also nervous. She said, "Dad, don't let go!" + +Her dad said, "You're doing great, Sara! You're a natural! I'm so proud of you!" He encouraged her to keep pedaling and look ahead. He said, "You can do it, Sara! I'm right here with you!" + +Sara felt more confident and relaxed. She smiled and said, "This is fun, Dad!" She noticed that her dad was not holding her bike anymore. He was running beside her, cheering her on. She realized she was riding by herself. She felt a surge of joy and shouted, "I did it, Dad! I did it!" + +Her dad said, "You did it, Sara! You're amazing! You're a bike rider now!" He caught up with her and gave her a high five. They hugged and laughed. Sara said, "Thank you, Dad! You're the best teacher ever!" + +They rode back to their house, where her mom was waiting with a glass of juice and a cookie. She said, "Wow, Sara! You're a bike rider now! I'm so happy for you!" She gave her a big hug and a kiss. Sara said, "Thank you, Mom! I love you!" + +Sara drank her juice and ate her cookie. She felt very happy and proud. She also felt very sleepy. She said, "Can I take a nap, Mom?" Her mom said, "Of course, sweetie. You had a big day. You deserve a rest." She took her to her room and tucked her in. She said, "Good night, Sara. You're a bike rider now. And you're a wonderful daughter. I love you." Sara said, "I love you too, Mom." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of riding her bike with her dad. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard when they heard a loud boom. They looked up and saw dark clouds and bright flashes of lightning in the sky. + +"What is that?" Lily asked, feeling curious and scared. + +"That is a storm," Ben said. He was older than Lily and knew more things. "Sometimes the sky makes noise and light when it is angry." + +"Why is the sky angry?" Lily wondered. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it is sad or bored or hungry." + +Lily and Ben ran inside the house and told their mom about the storm. Their mom smiled and hugged them. + +"Don't worry, my loves," she said. "The sky is not angry at you. It is just making some noise and light to let out its feelings. It will calm down soon and the sun will come back." + +She gave them some cookies and milk and read them a story. Lily and Ben felt better and forgot about the storm. They liked the cookies and the story and their mom. + +But outside, the sky still frowned and made more noise and light. It did not like the cookies or the story or the mom. It wanted to play with Lily and Ben. It was lonely and curious and wanted to have fun. But it did not know how to ask or how to be gentle. It only knew how to make noise and light. And that scared Lily and Ben and their mom. So the sky stayed angry and sad and bored and hungry. And it waited for someone to understand. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Tom climbed up the ladder and slid down. He laughed and said, "This is fun!" + +Lily wanted to try too, but she was scared. The slide looked very high and fast. She said, "I don't want to slide. I want to play with the swings." + +Tom said, "Don't be scared. It's easy. Come on, I'll help you." He climbed up the ladder again and reached out his hand. Lily looked at him and shook her head. She said, "No, thank you. I like the swings better." + +Tom felt angry. He said, "You're a baby. You're afraid of everything. You're no fun." He slid down and ran away. Lily felt sad. She wanted to be friends with Tom, but she didn't like the slide. She went to the swings and played by herself. + +Soon, it was time for lunch. Their moms called them and gave them sandwiches and juice. Tom ate his sandwich quickly and drank his juice. He looked around and saw Lily sitting alone. She ate her sandwich slowly and looked at the ground. Tom felt sorry. He realized he was mean to Lily. He said, "Mom, can I go and talk to Lily?" + +His mom said, "Yes, you can. But be nice to her. She's your friend." + +Tom walked to Lily and said, "Hi, Lily. I'm sorry I was mean to you. I shouldn't have called you a baby. You can play with whatever you like. Do you want to share my juice?" + +Lily looked up and smiled. She said, "Hi, Tom. I'm sorry I didn't want to slide with you. I was scared. Maybe I can try it another day. Thank you for your juice. Do you want to share my cookie?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, please. That sounds good. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily said, "Of course we can. You're my friend." + +They hugged and shared their juice and cookie. They learned to be kind and respect each other's choices. They felt happy and not ashamed. They played together until it was time to go home. +Ben and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and pretend they were heroes. One day, they found a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there were many things that looked like guns. Ben and Sam were curious and excited. They took two guns and ran outside. + +"Let's play space cowboys!" Ben said. "We can soar in the sky and fight the bad aliens!" + +"OK!" Sam agreed. "I'll be the captain and you'll be the pilot!" + +They climbed on their bikes and made zooming noises. They pointed their guns at the trees and the birds and said "Pew pew pew!" They felt brave and happy. + +But then, they heard a loud bang. It came from the house next door. They saw smoke and fire and people screaming. They saw a man with a real gun and a scary face. He was shooting at the police. Ben and Sam were fearful. They dropped their guns and hid behind a bush. + +"What's happening?" Sam whispered. + +"I don't know," Ben whispered back. "But it's not a game. It's very bad." + +They hugged each other and prayed for the shooting to stop. They wished they were home with their moms and dads. They wished they never found the box with the guns. They learned that guns were not toys. They learned that guns could hurt and kill. They learned that guns could make people fearful. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the swamp near their home. They liked to look for frogs and bugs and splash in the water. But their mom always told them to be careful and not go too far. She said the swamp could be dangerous and there were things that could hurt them. + +One day, Ben and Lily saw a big log in the swamp. They thought it would be fun to climb on it and pretend it was a boat. They did not listen to their mom and they went too far. They did not see the eyes and teeth under the water. They did not hear the growl. + +The log was not a log. It was a crocodile. It was hungry and angry. It opened its mouth and snapped at Ben and Lily. They screamed and jumped off the log. They ran back to the shore. They were scared and wet and hurt. + +Their mom heard them and came to help them. She hugged them and cleaned their wounds. She was glad they were alive. But she was also mad. She told them they were naughty and foolish. She told them they should always listen to her and not go to the swamp alone. She told them the swamp was hot and dirty and full of danger. + +Ben and Lily said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never played in the swamp again. They only played in the yard or the park. They always talked to their mom and did what she said. They were safe and happy. +Anna and Ben were bored. They wanted to play, but Mom said they had to be quiet. Baby Sam was sleeping in his crib. Mom was working on her laptop in the living room. + +"Let's decorate the cabinet," Ben whispered to Anna. He pointed to the old wooden cabinet in their bedroom. It had many drawers and doors, but it was plain and dull. + +"Okay, that sounds fun," Anna whispered back. She opened the closet and took out some crayons, stickers, and glitter. Ben grabbed some scissors, tape, and paper. + +They tiptoed to the cabinet and started to decorate it. They drew colorful pictures on the paper and cut them out. They taped them on the cabinet doors and drawers. They added stickers of animals, stars, and flowers. They sprinkled glitter on the top and sides. + +They were so busy and happy that they did not hear Mom coming into the bedroom. She gasped when she saw the cabinet. It was bright and shiny, but also messy and sticky. + +"Anna! Ben! What have you done?" Mom asked in a loud voice. + +Anna and Ben looked at Mom with big eyes. They knew they were in trouble. + +"We decorated the cabinet, Mom," Anna said in a small voice. + +"We wanted to make it pretty, Mom," Ben said in a smaller voice. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She was not happy, but she was not angry either. She knew they were just trying to have fun. + +"Next time, ask me before you decorate anything, okay?" Mom said in a calm voice. "And help me clean up this mess." + +"Okay, Mom," Anna and Ben said in unison. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them. + +They cleaned up the cabinet and the floor. They put the crayons, stickers, and glitter back in the closet. They threw away the paper and the tape. + +They were quiet, but they were not bored. They learned a lesson, but they also had fun. They decorated the cabinet, but they also decorated their hearts. +Tom and Sue went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and bears. Tom and Sue liked the animals, but they also liked to run and play. + +"Can we go to the playground?" Tom asked Mom. + +"Yes, but stay close to us. The zoo is very big and busy," Mom said. + +Tom and Sue ran to the playground. They saw a slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They also saw a big gate with a lock. + +"What is behind the gate?" Sue asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Let's find out," Tom said. + +He pushed the gate. It was not locked. It opened. Tom and Sue went inside. They saw more animals, but they were not in cages. They were free. + +"Wow, look at the zebras, and the giraffes, and the elephants!" Sue said. + +Tom and Sue ran to the animals. They wanted to touch them and feed them. But the animals did not like that. They were scared and angry. They made loud noises and chased Tom and Sue. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Sue cried. + +Mom and Dad heard them. They ran to the gate. They saw Tom and Sue and the animals. They were shocked. + +"What are you doing here? This is not the playground. This is the animal reserve. It is not for people. It is for animals only. You could have been hurt. You are very naughty," Mom said. + +She grabbed Tom and Sue and took them out of the gate. She locked it. Dad talked to a zookeeper. He said sorry for the trouble. The zookeeper said it was okay. He said the lock was broken. He said he would fix it. + +Tom and Sue were very sorry. They said sorry to Mom and Dad. They said sorry to the zookeeper. They said sorry to the animals. They learned their lesson. They never went to the animal reserve again. They stayed in the playground. They had fun, but not crazy fun. +Ben likes to play with his toy soldiers. He has many soldiers in different colors. He has green soldiers, blue soldiers, red soldiers and brown soldiers. He likes to make them fight and march and hide. + +One day, he puts his brown soldiers on the floor. He makes them march in a line. He says, "Left, right, left, right". He pretends he is the leader of the brown soldiers. He holds a stick and says, "Follow me, brown soldiers. We are going to the park". + +He walks to the door with his stick and his brown soldiers. He does not see his cat, Fluffy, sleeping on the rug. He steps on Fluffy's tail. Fluffy wakes up and meows loudly. She is angry and scared. She jumps up and runs away. + +Ben is surprised and drops his stick and his brown soldiers. Some of his brown soldiers fall and break. He feels sad and sorry. He says, "Oh no, Fluffy, I am sorry. I did not see you. Are you okay?" + +He goes to find Fluffy. He sees her under the sofa. He says, "Fluffy, come out. I want to hug you and say sorry". He reaches his hand under the sofa. Fluffy comes out slowly. She licks his hand and rubs her head on his arm. She forgives him. + +Ben hugs Fluffy and says, "I love you, Fluffy. You are my friend. I will be more careful next time". He picks up his stick and his brown soldiers. He says, "Come on, Fluffy. Let's go to the park. You can play with me and my brown soldiers". He smiles and walks to the door with Fluffy and his brown soldiers. He says, "Left, right, left, right". He is happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play at the park. They loved to go on the slide, but it was very high and they had to climb many steps to reach the top. Sometimes they were scared, but they helped each other and said, "You can do it!" + +One day, they saw a new boy at the park. He had a big car and many toys. He looked rich. He also wanted to go on the slide, but he did not want to share. He said, "This is my slide. Go away!" + +Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They did not like the new boy. They said, "That is not nice. The slide is for everyone. You have to share." + +The new boy did not listen. He pushed Ben and Lily and ran to the slide. He reached the top and laughed. He said, "I am the king of the slide. You are losers." + +But then, something bad happened. The new boy slipped on the slide and fell down. He hurt his knee and cried. He said, "Ow, ow, ow! Help me!" + +Ben and Lily saw him and felt sorry for him. They ran to him and helped him up. They said, "Are you okay? Do you need a band-aid?" + +The new boy was surprised and ashamed. He said, "Thank you. I am sorry. I was mean to you. Can we be friends?" + +Ben and Lily smiled and nodded. They said, "Yes, we can be friends. Come on, let's go on the slide together. It is more fun that way." +Sara and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see a big cake on the table. It smells good. + +"Let's have some cake!" Ben says. + +"No, we can't. Mom said we have to wait for dinner. She will be mad if we eat the cake now." Sara says. + +"But I'm hungry. And the cake looks yummy. Just a little bite." Ben says. He reaches for the cake. + +Sara warns him. "Stop! Mom will see. She put a sign on the cake. It says 'not ready'. Maybe the cake is not good yet. Maybe it has a bad taste." + +Ben does not listen. He breaks off a piece of the cake and puts it in his mouth. He makes a face. The cake is sour and bitter. He spits it out. + +"Yuck! This cake is awful!" Ben says. + +Sara laughs. "I told you so. The cake is not ready. Mom is making a lemon cake. She has to put some sweet stuff on it later. Then it will be good. But now it is bad." + +Ben is sorry. He wishes he listened to Sara. He hopes Mom will not be angry. He hopes there will be some cake left for dinner. He hopes the cake will have a good taste then. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box of toys in their room, with dolls, cars, balls, and books. But their favorite toy was a shiny ornament that hung on a string. It was round and red, with glitter and a bow on top. They called it their star. + +One day, Lily and Tom were playing with their star in their room. They took turns holding it, swinging it, and pretending it was a magic ball. They had a lot of fun, but they also wanted to see what else they could do with it. + +"Let's hang it on the window," Lily said. "It will look like a real star in the sky." + +"Good idea," Tom said. "But we have to be careful. It might break if we drop it." + +They climbed on a chair and tied the string to the curtain rod. They stepped back and admired their star. It sparkled in the sun and made them smile. + +"It's so fine," Lily said. + +"It's the best toy ever," Tom said. + +They decided to leave their star on the window and play with their other toys. They forgot about the wind that was blowing outside. The wind made the curtain move, and the star swing. It swung faster and faster, until it hit the glass. It made a loud noise and broke into pieces. Lily and Tom heard the noise and ran to the window. They saw their star on the floor, with glitter and a bow and bits of red. + +They felt very sad and cried. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They picked up the pieces and put them in a bag. They hoped they could fix their star someday. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that some toys are very fine, but also very fragile.

They like to go to the park with Mom. The park has swings, slides, and a big pond. Lily and Ben like to watch the ducks in the pond.

Do you want to try it?" + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They are curious, but also a little scared. They have never tried mint chocolate chip before. What if they don't like it? What if it is too cold or too sweet or too weird? + +"Maybe we should stick to what we know," Ben says. He points to the vanilla. "I want vanilla, please." + +"Me too," Lily says. She also points to the vanilla. + +The vendor smiles and gives them each a cone with vanilla ice cream. They pay him and thank him. Then they go to a bench and lick their ice cream. It is creamy and smooth and delicious. They are very happy. + +But as they eat, they see another boy come to the vendor. He is older and taller than them. He looks at the cart and says, "I want mint chocolate chip, please." + +The vendor gives him a cone with the green ice cream. The boy pays him and thanks him. Then he walks away, licking his ice cream. He looks very happy too. + +Lily and Ben watch him. They wonder how the mint chocolate chip tastes. They wonder if they missed something. They wonder if they should have been more brave and tried something different. They wonder if they will ever get another chance. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the market with their mom.

Can you carry it for me?" + +Mom says, "No, Ben, you have to carry your own bag. You are a big boy. You can do it." + +Ben says, "But mom, I am tired. I want to sit down." + +Mom says, "No, Ben, we have to go home. Come on, let's go." + +But Ben does not move. He sits on the ground and cries. + +Anna sees Ben. She is not lazy. She is a good sister.
