Is this your watch? I found it here. I'm sorry I took it. I was wrong." + +The man smiled. He said, "Yes, this is my watch. Thank you for bringing it back. You're very honest. I'm proud of you." + +Sam felt happy. He felt good. He gave the man a hug and said, "You're welcome, sir. I'm sorry again. I learned my lesson." + +Lily smiled too. She was proud of Sam. She gave him a hug and said, "I love you, Sam. You're a good brother." + +They went home together. They played more games. They were happy. They were honest. +Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They lived in a small house near a big river. One day, it rained a lot and the river became very big and angry. It broke the wall and came into the house.

A man in the boat said, "Jump in, I will take you to a safe place." + +Tom and Lily jumped in the boat and thanked the man. The man said, "You are welcome. I am glad you are safe. But where are your parents?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They had forgotten their parents. They had been playing in their room and did not hear them calling. They felt very bad and sorry. + +"They are still in the house!" they cried. "Please, go back and save them!" + +The man turned the boat and went back to the house. He saw their parents waving from a window. He threw them a rope and pulled them into the boat. Tom and Lily hugged their parents and said, "We are sorry, we did not listen to you. We love you very much." + +Their parents said, "We love you too, but you have to be more careful and obedient. A flood is very dangerous and you have to stay with us. We are a family and we have to stick together." + +Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They promised to be more careful and obedient. They thanked the man again and went to a shelter with their parents. They were happy to be alive and together. They realized that a flood is difficult, but family is important. +Tom was a boy who liked to play in the snow. He made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. He was very proud of his snowman and wanted to show it to everyone. + +But Sam was a boy who was mean and jealous. He did not like to see Tom happy. He wanted to ruin Tom's snowman. He took his dad's axe and sneaked behind the snowman. He swung the axe and chopped off the snowman's head. + +Tom heard the noise and ran to see what happened. He saw his snowman's head on the ground and Sam holding the axe. He was very sad and angry. He shouted at Sam and asked him why he did that. + +Sam laughed and said he did not care. He said he was stronger and smarter than Tom. He said he could do whatever he wanted. He threw the axe on the snow and ran away. + +Tom picked up the axe and wanted to chase Sam. He wanted to hit him and make him pay. But then he saw something shiny on the snow. It was the snowman's hat. He remembered how much fun he had making the snowman. He remembered how the snowman smiled at him. + +He felt sorry for the snowman. He decided to put the hat back on the snowman's head. He tried to fix the snowman as best as he could. He hugged the snowman and said he was sorry. + +He realized that hitting Sam would not make him feel better. He realized that being mean and jealous was not a good way to live. He realized that being humble and kind was more important. He learned a lesson that day. + +He left the axe on the snow and went home. He hoped that Sam would learn a lesson too. He hoped that Sam would see that the snowman was not his enemy. He hoped that Sam would see that the snowman was melting away. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was their blanket. It was long and soft and had many colors. They used it to make forts, capes, tents and more. + +One day, they decided to play soldiers. They put on their hats and boots and took their blanket. They wrapped it around their shoulders like a flag and marched around the room. They sang a song and pretended to fight enemies. + +But they marched too fast and did not look where they were going. They bumped into a table and knocked over a lamp. The lamp fell on the floor and broke. They heard a loud noise and saw glass everywhere. They were scared and stopped marching. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and was angry. She asked them why they broke the lamp.

It had flowers and candles on it. Lisa and Tom thought it looked yummy. + +"Let's take some cake," Lisa said. "No one is looking." + +"But that is not our cake," Tom said. "That is for a marriage. A marriage is when two people love each other and wear nice clothes and have a party." + +Lisa did not care. She was ignorant. She did not know what a marriage was. She did not know that taking cake was bad. She just wanted to eat cake. + +She grabbed a big piece of cake and ran away. Tom followed her. He did not want to lose his friend. But he felt bad. + +They ate the cake behind a tree. It was sweet and soft. But they did not enjoy it. They felt guilty. + +Soon, they heard angry voices. They looked and saw a man and a woman in nice clothes. They were the people who had the marriage. They were looking for their cake. + +"Who took our cake?" the man shouted. "That was our special cake! We waited a long time for it!" + +Lisa and Tom were scared. They knew they did something wrong. They hid behind the tree and hoped no one would find them. + +But the man and the woman saw them. They saw the cake crumbs on their faces and hands. They knew they were the thieves. + +They walked to the tree and looked at Lisa and Tom. They were very angry. + +"Why did you take our cake?" the woman asked. "That was very rude and mean. You ruined our marriage!" + +Lisa and Tom felt ashamed. They did not know what to say. They were sorry, but they could not undo what they did. + +They looked at each other and then at the man and the woman. They wished they had not taken the cake. They wished they had listened to Tom. They wished they had learned what a marriage was. They wished they had been more respectful and kind. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. They left their ball on the grass and started to walk up the hill. But the hill was not a hill. It was a giant! + +The giant was sleeping and did not hear them. Tom and Lily reached his nose and thought it was a rock. They tried to push it, but it was too heavy. The giant sneezed and woke up. He opened his eyes and saw Tom and Lily. He was surprised and curious. + +"Who are you?" he asked in a loud voice. "Why are you on my nose?" + +Tom and Lily were scared and wanted to run away. But they were too small and the giant was too big. They could not find their ball or the way back. + +"We are Tom and Lily," they said in a small voice. "We are sorry. We thought you were a hill. We were playing with our ball and we wanted to climb you." + +The giant smiled and was not angry. He was friendly and liked children. He picked them up gently and put them on his hand. + +"I am Ben," he said. "I am not a hill. I am a giant. I like to play with balls too. Where is your ball?" + +Tom and Lily pointed to the grass where they left their ball. But the ball was too far and too small for them to see. + +The giant saw their ball and reached for it. He gave it to Tom and Lily. They were happy and thanked him. + +"Can we play with you?" they asked. + +"Of course," he said. "But first, I have a magic trick for you. I can shrink and grow as I please. Watch this." + +The giant said a magic word and shrank to the size of Tom and Lily. They were amazed and clapped their hands. The giant said another magic word and grew back to his normal size. He did this several times and made them laugh. + +Tom and Lily had fun playing with the giant and his magic trick. They learned that he was not scary, but kind and gentle. They also learned that size does not matter, but friendship does. They became good friends with the giant and visited him often. They always brought their ball and shared it with him. +Tom and Lily liked to watch cartoons on TV. They liked the funny animals and the silly jokes. But sometimes they wanted to watch different cartoons. Tom liked the ones with cars and robots. Lily liked the ones with princesses and fairies. + +One day, they had a big fight. They both wanted to watch their favorite cartoons, but there was only one TV. They pulled the remote and shouted at each other. They were very angry and sad. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom and Lily fighting over the TV. She was not happy. She said, "You need to share and take turns. Fighting is not nice. Why don't you split the time? You can watch one cartoon each, and then switch." + +Tom and Lily thought about it. They did not want to fight anymore. They wanted to be happy and have fun. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to split the time and watch one cartoon each. They also decided to try to watch each other's cartoons and see if they liked them. + +They were very brave and kind. They learned to share and to enjoy different things.

It wanted to play with their boat. Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want the dog to ruin their boat or bite them. + +Tom had an idea. He grabbed the sheet and waved it at the dog. He shouted, "Go away, dog! This is our boat!" The dog was confused. It stopped barking and looked at the sheet. Tom and Lily used the chance to run inside the house.

Tom and Lily sighed with relief. They hugged each other and smiled. + +They were brave. They saved their boat. They decided to sail again tomorrow, but only if the dog was not around. They liked their porch. It was their favorite place to play. +Lily was a famous singer. She sang very well and many people liked her songs. She had a big house, a nice car and many dresses.

I have some money, we can buy more cherries." + +The girl looked at Lily and smiled. She said, "Thank you, you are very kind. What is your name?" Lily said, "My name is Lily. I am a singer.

She also liked to play with her friends, the other flowers in the garden. They had fun dancing in the wind and singing to the birds. + +But sometimes, Lily felt tired. She wanted to take a nap and rest her petals. She saw that some of her friends did the same. They closed their petals and slept for a while. They said it was good for them. They said they would wake up more fresh and bright. + +Lily decided to try it. She closed her petals and took a nap. She dreamed of the sun and the bees and the birds. She felt warm and cozy.

She asked her mom, "What is that?" + +Her mom said, "That is a bee. A bee is a bug that makes honey. Honey is sweet and good to eat. But you have to be careful. A bee can sting you if you touch it or make it angry. A sting hurts a lot." + +Lily wanted to know more. She asked her mom, "Why does a bee make honey? How does it sting?" + +Her mom said, "A bee makes honey by taking nectar from the flowers. Nectar is a juice that flowers have. A bee has a tongue that can suck the nectar. Then it takes the nectar to its home, which is called a hive. A hive is a house made of wax that many bees live in. In the hive, the bees turn the nectar into honey and store it in cells. Cells are small rooms in the hive. The bees use the honey for food when it is cold or dark outside." + +Her mom said, "A bee can sting by using a sharp part in its back. This part is called a stinger. A bee only uses its stinger to protect itself or its hive. When a bee stings, it leaves its stinger in your skin. This makes the bee die. That is why a bee does not sting unless it has to. If you get stung by a bee, you have to take out the stinger and put some ice on it. Then it will feel better." + +Lily said, "Thank you, mom. You explain very well. I like bees, but I will not touch them. I will watch them from far away. They are very busy and smart." +Tom and Sue like to play with their toy boat. They sail it in the pond near their house. They take turns to hold the boat and make it go fast or slow. + +One day, a big wind comes and blows their boat away. They run after it, but it is too fast. The boat sails to the other side of the pond, where there is a big tree. + +Tom and Sue are sad. They want their boat back. They see a boy near the tree. He has their boat in his hands. He is laughing. + +"Hey, that is our boat!" Tom shouts. "Give it back!" + +The boy shakes his head. He says, "No, this is my boat now. It is a nice boat. Your boat is ugly." + +Sue gets angry. She says, "That is not true. Our boat is pretty. You are ugly." + +The boy gets angry too. He says, "No, you are ugly. And your boat is ugly. Watch this." He throws the boat at the tree. The boat hits the tree and breaks. + +Tom and Sue cry. They see their boat in pieces. They are very sad. They wish the boy was nice. They wish the wind was calm. They wish they had their boat. +There was a king who had a big castle and many things. He liked to eat a lot of food every day, but he did not like to share with anyone. He was very greedy and selfish. + +One day, a poor man came to his castle and asked for some bread. He was very hungry and had no home. The king said, "No, this is my food. Go away, you are dirty and ugly." The poor man said, "Please, kind king, have mercy on me. I only need a little bit of bread. You have so much, and I have nothing." The king said, "No, no, no. You are a liar and a thief. If you do not leave, I will call my guards and they will hurt you." + +The poor man was very sad and scared. He turned to leave, but then he saw a big cake on the king's table. It looked so yummy and sweet. He thought, "Maybe I can take a small piece of cake. The king will not notice, and I will not be hungry anymore." He reached for the cake, but the king saw him and shouted, "Stop! How dare you touch my cake! You are a bad man and a robber. Guards, guards, catch him and throw him in the dungeon!" + +The guards came and grabbed the poor man. They dragged him to the dungeon and locked him up. The poor man cried and prayed. He said, "Oh, God, please help me. I only wanted some food. I did not mean to steal. Forgive me for my mistake." + +God heard his prayer and felt sorry for him. He decided to teach the king a lesson. He made the king very hungry, but no matter how much he ate, he was never full. He ate and ate and ate, but he still felt empty and weak. He also made the king very lonely, but no matter how many people he called, he was never happy. He quarreled and yelled and scolded, but he still felt angry and sad. + +The king realized that he had been very wrong and wicked. He said, "Oh, God, please help me. I have been very greedy and selfish. I did not share with anyone. I treated the poor man very badly. Forgive me for my sins." + +God heard his prayer and felt sorry for him. He said, "If you want to be forgiven, you must repent and change. You must share your food and your things with the poor and the needy. You must be kind and gentle with everyone. You must free the poor man from the dungeon and ask for his forgiveness." + +The king agreed and did as God said. He shared his food and his things with the poor and the needy. He was kind and gentle with everyone. He freed the poor man from the dungeon and asked for his forgiveness. The poor man forgave him and thanked him. They became friends and ate the cake together. + +The king learned his lesson and became a good and generous king. He was never hungry or lonely again. He was always full and happy. He thanked God for his mercy and grace. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and selfish, but be generous and kind. Share what you have with others, and you will be blessed.

She plays with the tank like it is a mouse. + +Tom is surprised and laughs. He thinks Luna is very funny and silly. He says, "Cut!" He turns off the camera and picks up his tank. He hugs Luna and says, "You are a good cat. You are the star of my movie." He takes his camera and his tank to his mom. He shows her his movie. He says, "Look, mom, this is my tank and my cat.

She wanted to do everything by herself. She liked to play with her toys, draw with her crayons, and dress up in her clothes. + +One day, Anna saw a big jar of salt on the kitchen table. She wondered what it tasted like. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. She opened it and put some salt in her mouth. + +"Yuck!" she cried. "This is not good! This is very bad!" + +Her mom heard her and came to the kitchen. She saw Anna with the jar of salt and the chair. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" she asked. "You should not play with the salt. It is not for eating. It is for cooking. It can make you sick if you eat too much. I warned you before not to touch things on the table." + +"I'm sorry, mom," Anna said. "I wanted to try it. I did not know it was so bad." + +Her mom hugged her and took the jar of salt away. She gave Anna some water to drink and some cookies to eat. + +"Next time, listen to me, okay?" she said.

She tried to pull it out, but it slipped from her hands and fell on the floor. The eggs cracked and made a big mess. + +Anna was scared and sad. She started to cry. She thought her mom would be angry with her. She heard her mom coming and hid behind the fridge. Her mom saw the mess and said, "Oh no, what happened here?" She looked around and saw Anna's shoes behind the fridge. She walked over and knelt down. She saw Anna's face, wet with tears. She smiled and said, "It's okay, Anna. Accidents happen. You don't have to be afraid. You were trying to help me, and I'm proud of you for that." + +She hugged Anna and wiped her tears. She said, "Let's clean this up together, okay?" She got a mop and a towel and started to clean the floor. Anna helped her with the towel. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to get the eggs for you, but they were too heavy." Her mom said, "It's okay, Anna. Next time, you can ask me for help, or use a smaller carton. You're still learning, and that's fine. You're a good helper, and I love you." Anna smiled and said, "I love you too, mom." They finished cleaning and hugged again. Anna felt happy and proud. She had learned a lesson and made her mom happy. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to draw. She had many crayons of different colors that she used to make pictures of flowers, animals and stars.

"They are mine!" + +The boy laughed and said, "No, they are mine now. I like them. They are pretty and shiny. You have too many. You don't need them." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She tried to grab her box, but the boy was bigger and stronger. He pushed her away and ran to the other side of the room.

You are bad!" + +The teacher heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She saw the boy with the crayons and the wall with the scribbles. She frowned and said, "What are you doing? Why are you stealing Lily's crayons and making a mess?" + +The boy looked scared and said, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to draw. I don't have any crayons at home." + +The teacher said, "That's no excuse. You should not take things that are not yours. You should ask nicely and share. And you should not damage the wall. You have to apologize to Lily and help me clean up." + +The boy said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Can I give you back your crayons?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful with them. They are special to me." + +The boy gave her back the box and said, "They are very nice. Can I borrow one sometimes?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to ask me first. And you have to use it nicely. Maybe we can draw together." + +The boy smiled and said, "That would be nice. Thank you, Lily. I'm sorry I was mean. Can we be friends?" + +Lily said, "Yes, we can. But you have to be nice. And you have to say sorry to the teacher too." + +The boy said, "OK, I will. I'm sorry, teacher." + +The teacher said, "It's OK. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's go and clean up the wall.

He feels happy and free when he rides his motorcycle. + +One day, Tom sees a big hill in the park. He wants to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. He thinks he is very clever and brave. He rides his motorcycle faster and faster towards the hill. + +But the hill is too steep and too high for his motorcycle. When he reaches the top, his motorcycle cannot go any further. It stops and falls down. Tom falls down too. He hurts his knee and his elbow. He cries and cries. + +A nice lady sees Tom and his motorcycle. She runs to help him. She picks him up and hugs him. She says, "Don't cry, Tom. You are okay. You just had a little accident. Your motorcycle is okay too. It just needs a little fix." + +She takes Tom and his motorcycle to her car. She puts a band-aid on his knee and his elbow. She says, "You are a very good boy, Tom. You are not afraid of trying new things. But you have to be careful too. Some hills are too big for motorcycles. Next time, you can use a spring. A spring is a thing that makes you jump high. You can put a spring under your motorcycle and then you can fly over the hill. That would be fun and safe." + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice and clever. I like your idea. I will try a spring next time. Can I be your friend?" + +The lady smiles and says, "Of course, Tom. You can be my friend. And I can be your friend. Friends help each other and have fun together. Do you want to go to my house and have some cookies and milk?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, please. I like cookies and milk. And I like you. You are the best friend ever." + +They drive to the lady's house and have a good time. Tom forgets about his pain and his accident. He is happy and grateful. He learns a new word: spring. He thinks it is a very cool word. He can't wait to try it with his motorcycle. He thinks he will have more adventures and more friends. He thinks life is good. +Tom and Lily liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Max, who was their guard. Max barked at strangers and chased squirrels. + +One day, the sky was gray and the wind was cold. Tom and Lily's mom said, "It will rain soon. You should wear your coats and boots." Tom and Lily put on their coats and boots and went outside with Max. They wanted to have fun before the rain came. + +They swung on the swing, slid on the slide and dug in the sandbox. They found some worms and some rocks. They made a castle with the sand and the rocks. They put a worm on top of the castle as a flag. They were very proud of their castle. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a flash of light. It was lightning. They felt drops of water. It was rain. The rain was heavy and fast. It wet their hair and their clothes. It washed away their castle and their worm. Tom and Lily were sad and scared. + +They ran to the porch, where their mom was waiting. She hugged them and dried them with a towel. She said, "Don't worry, it's just rain. It will stop soon. You can play outside again later. Now, let's go inside and have some tasty cookies and milk." Tom and Lily smiled and followed their mom. Max followed them too. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was a good guard. He liked cookies and milk too. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the beach with their mom and dad. They saw the big ocean with blue water and white waves. They wanted to swim and build sand castles. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big shell!" Ben said, holding a shiny pink shell in his hand. "Maybe there is a pearl inside!" + +"Let me see, let me see!" Lily said, grabbing the shell from Ben. She tried to open it, but it was too hard. She saw a small hole in the shell and put her eye close to it. + +"Ow!" Lily screamed. Something sharp and wet came out of the hole and hurt her eye. She dropped the shell and started to cry. + +"Lily, what happened?" Mom and Dad asked, running to her. They saw blood and water on her face. They picked her up and looked at her eye. + +"Oh no, Lily, you have a cut on your eye!" Mom said. "It's from the shell. It was not a nice shell, it was a bad shell. It had a crab inside. The crab was scared and tried to protect itself. It used its claw to reveal itself and poke your eye." + +"Will Lily be okay?" Ben asked, feeling sorry for his sister. He wished he had not given her the shell. + +"We have to take her to the doctor right now," Dad said. "The doctor will help her and give her medicine. But she might have a scar on her eye forever. She might not see very well with that eye." + +Lily and Ben were very sad. They did not want to play at the beach anymore. They did not like the ocean or the shells. They wanted to go home and forget this bad day. +Lily was a dancer. She liked to dance with her friends at school. They had a big show soon. They had to organize their dance moves and costumes. + +One day, Lily's teacher said they had to practice on a big stage. Lily was frightened. She had never danced on a big stage before. She thought it was too dark and too loud. She wanted to stay in her classroom. + +But her friends helped her. They said they would be with her on the stage. They said they would hold her hand and smile. They said they would have fun and make the people happy. + +Lily decided to be brave. She followed her friends to the stage. She put on her costume and shoes. She listened to the music and remembered her dance moves. She looked at her friends and smiled. + +Lily was a dancer. She danced with her friends on the big stage. She was not frightened anymore. She was proud and happy. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a big box of blocks and they wanted to build a castle. Anna had an idea. She said, "Let's make a castle with a tower and a gate and a flag." Ben nodded and said, "Yes, let's do that." + +They started to stack the blocks and make the walls of the castle. They used red blocks for the tower, blue blocks for the gate, and yellow blocks for the flag. They worked hard and had fun. They were very obedient and did not make a mess or fight. + +But then, their little brother Tom came in. He saw the castle and he wanted to play too. He ran to the castle and tried to grab the flag. He pulled and pulled and the tower fell down. The blocks crashed and the castle was ruined. Anna and Ben were sad and angry. They shouted, "Tom, no! You broke our castle! Go away!" + +Tom was scared and sorry. He did not mean to break the castle. He just wanted to join the game. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna and Ben. I did not mean to break your castle. Please, can I play with you? Please, can we build the castle again?" + +Anna and Ben looked at Tom. They saw that he was sorry and that he wanted to play. They decided to forgive him and let him play. They said, "OK, Tom. You can play with us. But you have to be obedient and careful. You have to listen to us and not break the castle. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I will be obedient and careful. I will listen to you and not break the castle. Thank you, Anna and Ben." + +They smiled and hugged Tom. Then they picked up the blocks and started to build the castle again. They helped each other and shared the blocks. They made a bigger and better castle than before. They had a lot of fun and they were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also used some things from the cupboard, like flour and sugar and salt. + +"Look, I made a cake!" Lily said, holding up a plate with a messy pile of flour and sugar. "Do you want some?" + +"No, thank you," Ben said. "I made soup. It has salt and water and carrots. It is very good. You can have some of my soup." + +Lily looked at Ben's soup. It was in a big pot on the stove. It smelled nice. She wanted to try some. She put down her plate and went to the stove. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Ben shouted. "You can't have my soup! You have your own cake!" + +"But I want some soup too!" Lily said. "It's not fair that you have soup and I have cake. Cake is not good for lunch. Soup is better. Let me have some!" + +She reached for the pot, but Ben pushed her away. He was angry. He did not want to share his soup. He wanted it all for himself. + +Lily fell to the floor. She hit her head on the corner of the cupboard. It hurt a lot. She started to cry. Blood came out of her head. It made a big stain on the floor. + +Ben saw the blood. He was scared. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He just wanted his soup. He ran to the door and called for Mom. + +"Mom, Mom, come quick!" he yelled. "Lily is hurt! She has blood on her head! I pushed her and she fell!" + +Mom came running. She saw Lily on the floor. She saw the blood. She saw the pot of soup and the plate of cake. She was very angry and very sad. + +She picked up Lily and hugged her. She took her to the car and drove to the hospital. She did not say a word to Ben. She left him alone in the kitchen. He felt very bad. He wished he had shared his soup with Lily. He wished he had not pushed her. He wished he had been a good brother. He wished he could say sorry. But it was too late. +Tom was a little boy who liked to climb. He climbed on chairs, on tables, on beds, on trees. He wanted to climb on everything he saw. But his mom and dad said no. They said climbing was dangerous. They said he could fall and hurt himself. They said he could break his tooth or his arm or his leg. + +One day, Tom saw a big hill near his house. He wanted to climb it very much. He thought it would be fun and exciting. He thought he would see many things from the top. He thought he would be successful. He did not tell his mom and dad. He waited until they were busy. Then he ran to the hill and started to climb. + +The hill was steep and rocky. Tom had to use his hands and feet to move up. He felt strong and brave. He did not look down. He did not see the ants and the snakes and the thorns. He only saw the top of the hill. He was almost there. + +But then he heard his mom and dad. They were calling his name. They were angry and worried. They saw him on the hill. They told him to come down. They said he was in trouble. They said he was naughty. They said he could have been hurt. + +Tom felt scared and sad. He did not want to make his mom and dad angry. He did not want to be in trouble. He did not want to be hurt. He wanted to be good. He wanted to be safe. He wanted to be loved. He stopped climbing. He turned around. He started to go down. + +But then he slipped. He lost his balance. He fell. He rolled down the hill. He bumped his head. He scraped his knee. He broke his tooth. He cried. He hurt. + +His mom and dad ran to him. They hugged him. They kissed him. They said they were sorry. They said they loved him.

They were a family. They were happy. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna, who had long, shiny hair. Lily loved to brush Anna's hair and make it look pretty. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides, but she was too shy to join them. She sat on a bench and played with Anna, brushing her hair and talking to her. + +A boy named Tom saw Lily and Anna. He liked Anna's hair and wanted to play with her. He walked over to Lily and said, "Can I borrow your doll?" + +Lily was scared of Tom. He was bigger than her and had a loud voice. She hugged Anna and said, "No, she is mine." + +Tom got angry. He grabbed Anna from Lily and ran away. He said, "Too bad, I'm borrowing her anyway." + +Lily cried and screamed. She wanted Anna back. She ran after Tom, but he was too fast. He climbed on a slide and threw Anna down. Anna's hair got tangled and dirty. Her dress got ripped and stained. Her face got scratched and broken. + +Lily saw Anna fall and felt very sad. She picked up Anna and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I love you." + +But Anna did not look pretty anymore. She looked ugly and hurt. Lily could not brush her hair or make it look pretty. She could only cry and cry. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hole in the ground. It was a pit. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go down the pit," Ben said. "Maybe we can find something cool." + +"No, Ben, that's not safe," Lily said. "The pit is deep and dark. We might get hurt or lost." + +But Ben did not listen. He jumped into the pit. He landed on something soft and squishy. It was a pile of rotten apples. + +"Yuck!" Ben said. "This is gross. And it smells bad. Help me, Lily!" + +Lily was scared. She did not know how to help Ben. She ran to find a grown-up. She saw a man with a hat and a shovel. He was a gardener. + +"Please, sir, help me," Lily said. "My friend is in the pit. He jumped in and he can't get out." + +The gardener followed Lily to the pit. He saw Ben covered in rotten apples. He shook his head. + +"That was a silly thing to do, boy," he said. "You could have been hurt. Or worse. You should listen to your friend. She is smart and careful." + +He used his shovel to make a ladder out of dirt. He helped Ben climb out of the pit. Ben was dizzy and dirty. He felt sick. + +"Thank you, sir," Ben said. "I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. The pit was not fun. It was dangerous. I should have listened to you." + +Lily hugged Ben. She was glad he was safe. She forgave him. + +The gardener smiled. He was proud of Lily. He applauded her. + +"Good job, Lily," he said. "You are a good friend. And a brave girl. You did the right thing. You asked for help. And you learned a lesson. Never go into a pit. It's not worth it." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They thanked the gardener again. They went home. They never played in the pit again. They played in the sandbox instead. It was much more fun. And much safer. +Sara likes to make things with her play-dough. She can make balls, snakes, and cakes. She likes to make them in different colors. One day, she decides to make a big ear with her play-dough. She uses a lot of pink and white play-dough to make the ear. She makes it very big and round. She is very proud of her ear. + +She shows her ear to her mom. Her mom smiles and says, "That's a very nice ear, Sara. Where did you get the idea to make an ear?" Sara says, "I saw an ear on TV. It was a very expensive ear. It had a shiny thing on it. It was a ring. I want a ring too." Her mom says, "Oh, I see. That was a jewelry ad. The ring was very expensive. It was made of gold and diamonds. You can't have a ring like that, Sara. It's too much money." + +Sara feels sad. She likes shiny things. She wants a ring like the ear on TV. She thinks for a while. Then she has an idea. She runs to her room and gets her stickers. She has many stickers of different shapes and colors. She finds a sticker that looks like a ring. It is shiny and has a star on it. She peels off the sticker and puts it on her play-dough ear. She smiles. She has made a ring for her ear. She thinks it is very pretty. + +She shows her ear with the ring to her mom again. Her mom laughs and says, "That's very clever, Sara. You have made a ring for your ear. It is very pretty. You don't need an expensive ring. You can make your own with your stickers and play-dough. You are very creative, Sara. I love you." Sara hugs her mom and says, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for my stickers and play-dough. They are my favorite things to make things with." They both smile and play with the ear and the ring. Sara is happy. She has made a beautiful ear with a ring. +Anna liked to write in her journal every day. She wrote about what she did, what she saw, and what she felt.

She left it in the box under her bed. + +When they got to the new house, Anna felt lonely and bored. She missed her old house and her old life. She wished she had her journal to write in. She asked her mom if they could go back and get it, but her mom said it was too far and too late. Anna cried and went to her new room. + +The next day, Anna heard a knock on the door. She opened it and saw a familiar face. It was Lily, her best friend from her old school. Lily smiled and hugged Anna. She said she had a surprise for her.

She said sharing was a good way to show love and kindness. She said the doll did not belong to anyone, but to everyone who cared for her. She said the doll was like a friend, and friends liked to play with different people. + +Sara thought about what her aunt said. She looked at Tom and saw that he was sorry too.

She never wanted to be naughty again. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch TV. But sometimes they fight over what to watch or what to play with. Mom and Dad say they have to share and take turns. + +One day, Sara and Ben are watching TV. They see a show with animals. Sara likes animals. She wants to watch the show. But Ben does not like animals. He wants to watch a show with cars. He grabs the remote and changes the channel. + +Sara is angry. She says, "That is rude, Ben! You did not ask me. You have to share the remote. Give it back!" Ben says, "No, Sara! I want to watch cars. You always watch animals. It is my turn!" + +They start to pull and push the remote. They yell and cry. Mom and Dad hear them. They come to the living room. They see Sara and Ben fighting. They are not happy. + +Mom and Dad say, "Stop, Sara and Ben! You are being rude to each other. You have to respect each other's choices. You can watch different shows at different times. But now, you have to turn off the TV. We have some news for you." + +Sara and Ben stop fighting. They are curious. They wonder what the news is. They turn off the TV. They sit on the couch. Mom and Dad sit with them. They smile. + +Mom and Dad say, "We have some good news for you.

We are going to be the best big siblings ever. We are going to love the baby. We are going to be a happy family." + +Mom and Dad say, "That is wonderful, Sara and Ben. We are very happy too. Now, let's go and have some cookies. You deserve a treat. You are good kids." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to climb the trees and swing on the ropes. They saw a big palm tree with many fruits. Tom said, "I dare you to eat one of those fruits. They look yummy." Lily said, "No, they look disgusting. They are brown and hairy. I don't want to eat them." Tom said, "You are scared. I am not scared. I will eat one and show you." He climbed the palm tree and picked a fruit. + +He opened the fruit and saw a white thing inside. He smelled it and made a face. It smelled bad. He said, "Maybe it tastes better than it smells." He took a bite and spat it out. It tasted worse than it smelled. It was sour and bitter and made his mouth hurt. He said, "Yuck! This is the worst fruit ever. I don't like it." He threw the fruit away and climbed down the tree. + +Lily laughed and said, "I told you so. You should not eat things that look disgusting. You are silly. Come on, let's go and play something else."

I am the best soccer player." + +Ben is sad and says, "No, you are not. That was not fair. You kicked the ball too fast. I want to score too."

I am the best soccer player." + +Lily runs after him and says, "No, Ben, that is not a goal. That is a tree. You cannot score on a tree. You have to score on the cones.

The duck will like that. The duck will be happy. And you will be happy too." + +Lily took the bread and looked at the duck. The duck looked at Lily and quacked again. Lily felt a little less anxious. She threw some bread into the water. The duck swam to the bread and ate it. The duck wagged its tail and quacked again. + +Lily smiled and threw some more bread.

It is very dangerous. You could have been hurt or hurt someone else." + +Lily and Tom are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, daddy. We did not know. We just wanted to play. We will not do it again." + +Daddy is angry, but he is also happy that they are okay. He says, "I know you did not mean to do it, but you have to be careful. The car is not a toy. It is for grown-ups. You have to listen to me and mommy and follow the rules. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nod and say, "We understand, daddy. We love you." + +Daddy says, "I love you too. Now let's go inside and have some cookies. You have been very patient and brave. But next time, please play with your own cars." +Lily and Sam were going to the airport with Mom and Dad.

He said, "Can we go inside the plane, Mom? Can we see the pilot? Can we sit by the window?" + +Mom said, "Yes, Sam, we can. But first, we have to check in our bags and go through security. They will scan our tickets and our bodies. They will make sure we are safe and ready to fly." + +Lily and Sam nodded. They understood. They wanted to be safe and ready to fly. They followed Mom and Dad to the check-in counter. They were careful and stayed close. They were happy and eager to go on the plane.

She felt cold and sad. She asked Ben, "Can I have the sweater now? It is my turn." + +"No," Ben said. "I like the sweater. It is mine now. Go away." + +Lila was angry and hurt. She ran away and cried. She saw a lady walking by with a basket of cookies. The lady saw Lila and said, "What is wrong, little girl? Why are you crying?" + +Lila told the lady what happened. The lady said, "That is not nice of Ben. He should share the sweater with you. Here, have a cookie. It will make you feel better." + +Lila took a cookie and thanked the lady. She bit into the cookie and felt a burning sensation in her mouth. The cookie was spicy. Lila spit out the cookie and said, "Yuck! This cookie is spicy. I don't like it." + +The lady said, "I'm sorry. I like spicy cookies. They are good for me. But they are not good for everyone. You see, different people have different tastes and preferences. Just like you like the red sweater, but Ben likes it more. Maybe you can find another sweater that you both like, or trade something else with him." + +Lila thought about what the lady said. She realized that she and Ben were different, and that was okay. She also realized that she should not take things that were not hers, and that she should be kind and respectful to others. She decided to return the sweater to Ben and say sorry. She hoped that Ben would say sorry too, and that they could be friends again. She learned that sharing is caring, and that spicy is not always nice. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to go for a walk in the valley near their home.

But when they were in the middle, the bridge made a loud crack and broke. Lily and Ben fell into the water, which was cold and fast. + +"Help, help!" they cried. "We can't swim!" + +A man who was working in the field heard their cries. He ran to the stream and saw the two children in the water. He threw a rope to them and pulled them out. He wrapped them in a warm blanket and took them to his house. + +"Thank you, thank you, sir, for saving us!" Lily and Ben said. + +"You're welcome, children. I'm glad you're safe. But you shouldn't have crossed that bridge. It was old and empty. No one uses it anymore. It's dangerous," the man said. + +"We're sorry, sir. We didn't know. We just wanted to see what was on the other side of the valley," Lily and Ben said. + +"Well, now you know. There is nothing on the other side of the valley. It's empty and lonely. The only thing you'll find there is trouble. You should stay on this side, where there are people and animals and plants. That's where you belong," the man said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They thanked the man again and went back to their home. They never crossed the bridge again. They played in the valley, where they were happy and safe. +Sara liked to write with her purple crayon. She wrote her name, and her mom's name, and her dog's name.

"They are so busy and noisy!" + +"Can we touch them?" Tom asked. "Maybe they are friendly." + +Lily shook her head. "No, we can't touch them. They might sting us. That would hurt a lot. Bees are fierce when they protect their hive." + +Tom nodded. He did not want to get stung. He backed away from the hive. But he was not careful. He stepped on a twig and made a loud snap. The bees heard the noise and got angry. They thought Tom was trying to hurt their hive. They flew out of the hole and chased Tom. + +"Help! Help!" Tom cried. He ran away from the bees.

She told him to go inside and tell their mom. + +"I'm sorry, Max," she said. "I hope you feel better soon. Next time, maybe you should listen to me. I'm your sister and I care about you. And frogs are not fairy princes. They are just frogs." + +Max nodded. He learned his lesson. He thanked Lily for being a good sister. He realized that she was clever and kind. He decided to play her games next time. He also decided to never kiss a frog again. +Sara and Anna are friends. They like to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Sara finds a bracelet in her mom's room. It is shiny and has many colors. Sara puts it on her wrist and feels happy. + +"Look, Anna, what I have!" Sara says, showing her bracelet to Anna. "It is so pretty!" + +Anna looks at the bracelet and likes it too. She wants to try it on. "Can I wear it for a little bit?" Anna asks Sara. + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes her bracelet very much, but she also likes Anna. She decides to be fair and share. "Okay, you can wear it for a little bit. But you have to give it back to me later. Do you mind?" Sara says. + +Anna nods and smiles. She takes the bracelet from Sara and puts it on her wrist. She feels happy too. "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend. I don't mind. I will give it back to you later." Anna says. + +Sara and Anna play with their dolls and dress up. They take turns wearing the bracelet and pretending it is a magic jewel. They have a lot of fun. They are both fair and kind. They don't mind sharing. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, I made a big tower!" Lily said. "It has ten blocks!" + +"Wow, that's good!" Tom said. "But I made a better tower. It has eleven blocks!" + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to have the best tower. She looked around and saw a block that Tom did not use. It was round and had a hole in the middle. It was zero. + +"Ha, I have an idea!" Lily said. She took the zero block and put it on top of her tower. "Now I have twelve blocks! My tower is the best!" + +Tom looked at Lily's tower and frowned. He did not think the zero block was a real block. He thought it was a cheat. + +"That's not fair!" Tom said. "You can't use the zero block! It's not a block, it's a hole!" + +"Yes, it is a block!" Lily said. "It's round and it's hard and it's red. It's a block!" + +"No, it's not!" Tom said. He got angry and pushed Lily's tower. The tower fell down and the blocks scattered everywhere. The zero block rolled away and hit a bowl of cookies that Mom had made for them. The cookies were yummy, but now they were broken and dirty. + +Lily and Tom both cried. They had lost their towers and their cookies. Mom heard them and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and the zero block. + +"What did you do?" Mom asked. "Why did you ruin the cookies? And why did you use the zero block? That's not a toy, that's a ring!" + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They did not know the zero block was a ring. They did not mean to ruin the cookies. They just wanted to have fun. + +But Mom was not happy. She took away the blocks and the ring and the cookies. She said they had to go to their rooms and think about what they did. She said they could not play or eat until they said sorry to each other. + +Lily and Tom went to their rooms. They were hungry and bored and sad. They wished they had not fought over the zero block. They wished they had shared the cookies. They wished they had been nice to each other. They learned a hard lesson. The end. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big cake in the kitchen. It has red hearts on it. It looks yummy. + +"Can we eat some cake?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I don't know. Mom said we have to wait for her," Tom says. + +"But I'm hungry. And the cake is so pretty. I want a heart," Lily says. + +She reaches for the cake. Tom tries to stop her. + +"No, Lily, don't! Mom will be mad. She made the cake for dad. It is his birthday. She wants to surprise him. She is successful. She works hard. She loves dad," Tom says. + +But Lily does not listen. She takes a big bite of the cake. She eats a heart. She smiles. + +"Mmm, it is good. Try some, Tom," she says. + +Tom shakes his head. He is scared. He hears mom coming. + +"Oh no, Lily, what did you do? Mom is here. She will see the cake. She will be sad. We will be in trouble," he says. + +He hides behind the table. Lily does not hide. She holds the cake in her hands. She is happy. She does not understand. She waits for mom. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a white ball. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and brown. It has sharp teeth and a loud bark. Lily and Tom are scared of the dog. They run away from the dog. They hide behind a tree. + +"Where is the dog?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is gone," Tom says. + +They peek from behind the tree. They see the dog. The dog is lying on the grass. It has the white ball in its mouth. It is chewing the ball. + +"Oh no! The dog has our ball!" Lily says. + +"We have to get our ball back!" Tom says. + +"But the dog is scary!" Lily says. + +"We have to trust each other. We can do it together," Tom says. + +They hold hands and walk slowly to the dog. They say "Hello, dog. We are Lily and Tom. We are not bad. We want our ball back. Can you give us our ball, please?" + +The dog looks at them. It wags its tail. It drops the ball. It licks their faces. + +Lily and Tom are surprised. The dog is not scary. The dog is friendly. They pet the dog. They say "Thank you, dog. You are a good dog. Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog barks happily. It nods its head. It runs after the ball. Lily and Tom run after the dog. They laugh and have fun. + +They play until noon. The sun is high in the sky. They are hungry and thirsty. They say "Bye, dog. We have to go home. We will come back tomorrow. We are your friends." + +The dog barks goodbye. It wags its tail. It watches them leave. + +Lily and Tom go home. They tell their moms about the dog. They say "We met a dog in the park. It was scary at first, but then it was nice. It gave us our ball back. We played with it. We trust it. It is our friend." + +Their moms smile and hug them. They say "We are proud of you. You are brave and kind. You made a new friend. That is wonderful." +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw an old man sitting on a bench. He had a big bag of chips. + +"Hello, old man," Lily said. "Can we have some chips?" + +The old man smiled. "Sure, you can have some chips. But be careful, they are spicy. They make your mouth hot." + +Lily and Tom took some chips and ate them. They liked the crunch and the salt. But then, they felt a fire in their mouths. They coughed and cried. + +"Water, water!" Lily shouted. "We need water!" + +The old man laughed. "I told you, they are spicy. Here, have some water." He gave them a bottle of water. + +Lily and Tom drank the water. It helped a little. But their mouths still hurt. + +"Thank you, old man," Tom said. "But we don't like spicy chips. They are too hot for us." + +The old man nodded. "I understand. Spicy chips are not for everyone. But I like them. They make me feel young." + +Lily and Tom said goodbye to the old man. They went to play on the swings. They decided to stick to plain chips from now on. + +The end. +Anna was sick. She felt hot and tired. Her mom came to her room with a thermometer. She put it in Anna's mouth and said, "Let's see how hot you are, sweetie." + +Anna waited for the beep. She did not like the thermometer. It was thin and hard. She wanted to spit it out. But she knew mom would be sad. So she kept it in. + +The thermometer beeped. Mom took it out and looked at it. She frowned. "Oh, Anna, you have a fever. You need to rest and drink water. I will get you some medicine." + +Anna nodded. She did not want to be sick. She wanted to play and have fun. She looked at her wall. There was a picture of her and her dad. They were at the park. They were hanging from a tree branch. They were smiling and happy. + +Anna pointed at the picture. She said, "Mom, can we go to the park when I feel better? Can we hang from the tree like that?" + +Mom smiled. She hugged Anna and said, "Of course, honey. We will go to the park when you feel better. We will hang from the tree and have fun. But for now, you need to rest and get well. I love you, Anna." + +Anna smiled back. She said, "I love you, mom." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of the park and the tree. She hoped she would feel better soon. +Anna is a girl who likes to play with her toys. She has many toys, but her favorite is a doll named Lily. Anna likes to dress Lily, comb her hair, and talk to her. + +One day, Anna's friend Ben comes to visit. Ben likes to play with cars and trucks. He sees Lily on the floor and picks her up. + +"Can I play with your doll?" he asks Anna. + +"No, Ben, Lily is mine. You have your cars and trucks. Please give Lily back to me," Anna says. She is serious and does not want to share. + +"But I want to play with Lily. She is pretty and soft. Please let me have her for a little while," Ben says. He is not serious and wants to tease Anna. + +"No, Ben, Lily is not for you. She is for girls, not boys. Please put her down now," Anna says. She is angry and tries to grab Lily from Ben. + +Ben runs away with Lily and laughs. He thinks it is fun to make Anna mad. Anna chases him and shouts. She thinks it is not fun to lose Lily. + +They run around the house until they bump into Anna's mom. She sees Lily in Ben's hand and Anna's tears. + +"What is going on here?" she asks. + +"Ben took my doll and he won't give her back. He is mean and silly. Please make him stop," Anna says. + +"Ben, is that true? Did you take Anna's doll without asking? That is not nice. Please say sorry to Anna and give her back her doll," Anna's mom says. + +Ben looks at Anna's mom and feels sorry. He knows he was wrong. He gives Lily back to Anna and says sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I was just playing. I didn't mean to make you sad. Can we still be friends?" he says. + +Anna looks at Ben and feels happy. She knows he is sorry. She hugs Lily and says yes. + +"Yes, Ben, we can still be friends. Thank you for giving Lily back. Do you want to play with my cars and trucks?" she says. + +Ben smiles and says yes. They go to play with the cars and trucks. They share and have fun. Anna's mom watches them and smiles. She is glad they are friends again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the woods. They saw a small house made of candy. It looked very pretty and yummy. + +"Let's go and eat some candy!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. Maybe someone lives there." Lily said. + +They went to the house and broke off some pieces of candy. They ate them and smiled. They did not see the witch who lived in the house. She was very angry and mean. She came out of the house and saw the children. + +"Who are you and what are you doing?" she shouted. + +"We are sorry, we just wanted some candy." Lily said. + +"Well, you will pay for this. You will be my dinner!" the witch said. She grabbed Tom and dragged him into the house. She locked the door and turned on the oven. She wanted to burn Tom and eat him. + +Lily was very scared and sad. She wanted to save Tom. She looked around and saw a big stick. She picked it up and ran to the house. She smashed the window with the stick. She saw Tom tied up on a table. She saw the witch near the oven. + +"Help me, Lily!" Tom cried. + +"Let him go, you bad witch!" Lily yelled. + +The witch turned around and saw Lily. She was very surprised and angry. She threw a pot of hot water at Lily. Lily dodged the water and threw the stick at the witch. The stick hit the witch on the head. The witch fell down and hit the oven. The oven door opened and the fire came out. The fire burned the witch and she screamed. + +Lily ran to Tom and untied him. They ran out of the house. They saw the fire spreading to the candy. The candy melted and burned. The house was gone. + +Lily and Tom hugged each other. They were happy and safe. They ran back to their home. They told their mom and dad what happened. They said they were sorry for eating the candy. They said they learned their lesson. They said they would never go to the woods again. They said they loved each other. +Lily was a princess who liked to count. She counted her dolls, her books, her dresses, and her jewels. She counted everything in her big room. She was very good at counting. + +One day, a prince came to visit her. His name was Ben. He wanted to play with Lily, but he did not like to count. He liked to run, jump, and climb. He said counting was boring. + +"Let's go outside and have fun," he said to Lily. "There is a big garden with flowers and trees and swings." + +"No, thank you," Lily said. "I want to count my things. Counting is fun." + +Ben was sad. He wanted to be friends with Lily, but they liked different things. He tried to think of something they could both enjoy. + +He saw a bowl of red berries on a table. He had an idea. + +"Look, Lily," he said. "These berries are spicy. They make your mouth hot and your tongue tingle. Do you want to try one?" + +Lily was curious. She liked new things. She picked up a berry and put it in her mouth. + +"Ow!" she cried. "This is too spicy! It hurts!" + +She spit out the berry and ran to get some water. Ben laughed. He thought it was funny. + +Lily was angry. She did not like Ben. He was mean. He made her mouth hurt. + +She grabbed the bowl of berries and threw them at Ben. They hit his face and his clothes. He stopped laughing. He felt the spicy juice on his skin. It burned. + +"Ow!" he cried. "This is too spicy! It hurts!" + +He ran to get some water. Lily laughed. She thought it was funny. + +They both learned a lesson. They learned not to play tricks on each other. They learned to be nice and share. They learned to like different things. + +They became friends. They played together. Sometimes they counted. Sometimes they ran, jumped, and climbed. Sometimes they ate spicy berries. But only a little bit. +Lily and Tom were playing in the backyard with their toys. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find new things. They saw some smoke coming from behind the fence. They wondered what it was. + +"Let's go see!" Tom said. He was nosy and brave. + +"No, we can't. Mom said we have to stay here. It might be dangerous." Lily said. She was careful and scared. + +"But I want to know. Maybe it's a fire. Maybe someone needs help." Tom said. He did not listen to Lily. + +He ran to the fence and climbed over it. Lily followed him. She did not want him to go alone. + +They saw a man sitting on a chair. He had a stick in his mouth. The smoke came from the stick. He looked angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing here? Get off my lawn!" the man shouted. He was rude and mean. + +Tom and Lily were shocked. They did not know the man. They did not know the stick. They did not like the smoke. + +They ran back to the fence and jumped over it. They ran to their backyard. They dropped their toys. They hugged each other. + +They learned a lesson. They should not be nosy. They should listen to Mom. They should stay away from smoke. It did not seem fun. It seemed bad. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw snow falling from the sky. They wanted to go out and make a snowman. + +"Can we go out, Mom?" they asked. + +"Yes, but you have to wear your warm clothes and boots. And don't stay out too long. It is very cold in winter," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben were obedient. They put on their hats, scarves, gloves and coats. They also wore their boots. They went out and had fun in the snow. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them up. They gave their snowman a carrot nose, a hat and a smile. + +They were so happy that they did not notice the time. The sky became dark and the wind became strong. The snowman looked sad. + +"Let's go in, Lily. It is getting late and cold," Ben said. + +"But I don't want to leave our snowman. He will be lonely," Lily said. + +"Don't worry. He will be fine. We can come back tomorrow and play with him again. Mom told us not to stay out too long. We have to be obedient," Ben said. + +Lily nodded. She gave the snowman a hug and said goodbye. They ran back to their house and entered the warm and cozy living room. Mom was waiting for them with hot chocolate and cookies. + +"You are back. I'm glad you had fun. And I'm proud of you for being obedient and coming back on time," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They drank their hot chocolate and ate their cookies. They told Mom about their snowman and how much they loved him. They also thanked Mom for the warm clothes and the yummy treats. + +They learned that winter can be fun, but also cold and dangerous. They learned that being obedient can keep them safe and happy. They learned that Mom loves them and cares for them. They hugged Mom and said they loved her too. They were a happy family. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, Tom found a big motor in the garage. He wanted to make his truck go fast. He took the motor and put it in his truck. + +Lily saw Tom's truck with the motor. She wanted to try it too. She asked Tom if she could play with his truck. Tom said no. He said it was his motor and his truck. Lily was sad. She tried to take the truck from Tom. Tom got angry. He pushed Lily away. Lily fell down and hurt her knee. She cried. + +Tom saw Lily crying. He felt sorry. He did not want to hurt Lily. He wanted to be friends. He said he was sorry. He asked Lily if she was okay. He gave her his truck with the motor. He said she could play with it. + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Tom. She looked at the truck. She was still sad. She did not want the truck. She wanted Tom to be nice. She did not forgive Tom. She said she did not want to be friends. She ran away with her knee bleeding. Tom was alone with his truck. He was sorry. He was sad. He had no friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to make a big tower. They put one block on top of another, and another, and another. They tried to balance the blocks so they would not fall. + +"Look, Lily, our tower is so high!" Ben said. + +"Yes, it is! Let's make it higher!" Lily said. + +They found more blocks and added them to the tower. But then, a big wind came and blew on the tower. The blocks started to shake and wobble. + +"Oh no, our tower is going to fall!" Lily cried. + +"Quick, hold it!" Ben said. + +They both reached out their hands and tried to hold the tower. But it was too late. The blocks fell down with a loud crash. Lily and Ben were sad. They looked at the mess of blocks on the floor. + +"Maybe we can make another tower," Ben said. + +"But how? The wind will blow it again," Lily said. + +They thought for a moment. Then, they had an idea. They ran to the living room and got a big book. They opened the book and found a page with a picture of a castle. It was a nice image of a castle, with towers and walls and flags. + +"Look, Lily, this is a castle. It is like a tower, but stronger," Ben said. + +"Yes, it is. Maybe we can make a castle with our blocks," Lily said. + +They took the book and the blocks back to their room. They looked at the image of the castle and tried to copy it with their blocks. They made the walls and the towers and the flags. They used the book as a helpful guide. They worked hard and had fun. + +Soon, they finished their castle. It was not as high as their tower, but it was more beautiful and stable. They were proud of their castle. They showed it to their mom and dad, who praised them for their creativity and teamwork. + +"Wow, Lily and Ben, you made a wonderful castle!" Mom said. + +"Yes, you did! How did you do it?" Dad asked. + +"We used a book and our blocks. We looked at the image of the castle and tried to make it. We balanced the blocks and made them strong. We helped each other," Lily said. + +"That's very smart and helpful of you. You are great builders," Dad said. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy. They played with their castle and pretended to be kings and queens. They did not mind the wind anymore. They had learned how to balance their blocks and make something amazing. +Sam and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Sam had a big club that he used to hit the ground and make loud booms. Lily had a small doll that she hugged and kissed. + +"Can I play with your club, Sam?" Lily asked. "It looks so cool and strong." + +"No, it's mine!" Sam said. "You have your doll, I have my club. Go away!" + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to play with the club too. She thought Sam was being mean and selfish. She decided to pinch him hard to make him share. + +She sneaked behind him and pinched his arm with her fingers. Sam yelled and dropped the club. He turned around and saw Lily holding his club. + +"Ow! That hurt! Give me back my club, Lily!" Sam said. "You are a bad sister!" + +Lily ran away with the club, laughing. She thought she was clever and brave. She did not care that Sam was crying and rubbing his arm. + +She ran to the other side of the garden, where there was a big apple tree. She saw some red and juicy apples hanging from the branches. She felt hungry and wanted to eat one. She put the club on the ground and reached for an apple. + +But as soon as she touched the apple, she felt a sharp pain in her hand. She looked and saw a big bee stinging her. She screamed and dropped the apple. She ran back to Sam, holding her hand. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! A bee stung me, Sam!" Lily said. "It hurts so much!" + +Sam saw Lily crying and holding her hand. He felt sorry for her. He forgot that she pinched him and took his club. He ran to her and hugged her. + +"It's okay, Lily. I'll help you." Sam said. "Let me see your hand." + +He gently took her hand and blew on the sting. He picked a leaf and wrapped it around her hand. He kissed her cheek and said, "There, there. It will get better soon." + +Lily felt a little better. She looked at Sam and said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good brother." + +She gave him back his club and said, "I'm sorry I pinched you and took your club. That was wrong and mean. Can you forgive me?" + +Sam smiled and said, "Of course I forgive you, Lily. I'm sorry I did not share with you. That was wrong and selfish. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, we can be friends again. Can we play together?" + +Sam nodded and said, "Yes, we can play together. Do you want to share my club?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I do. And do you want to share my doll?" + +Sam smiled and said, "Yes, I do. And do you want to share this tasty apple?" + +He picked up the apple that Lily dropped and wiped it on his shirt. He broke it in half and gave one piece to Lily. They both took a bite and said, "Mmm, yummy!" + +They sat under the tree and ate the apple. They laughed and talked and played. They learned that sharing is caring and that pinching is hurting. They were happy and loved each other. The end. +Tom and Sue live on a big farm with their mom and dad. They like to help with the animals and the plants. One day, they see a big truck come to the farm. The truck has many bags of wheat in it. Wheat is a plant that makes bread and cookies. + +Dad tells Tom and Sue to help him spread the wheat on the field. He gives them each a small bucket and shows them how to throw the wheat on the ground. Tom and Sue have fun spreading the wheat. They make patterns and shapes with the wheat. They see birds and bugs and flowers. + +But then, the sky becomes gray. Gray means rain is coming. Dad says they have to hurry and finish spreading the wheat. He says rain is good for the wheat, but too much rain can make it bad. Tom and Sue run and spread the wheat as fast as they can. They finish just as the rain starts to fall. + +They run back to the truck and get inside. Dad drives them back to the house. Mom is waiting for them with hot cocoa and cookies. She says they did a good job spreading the wheat. She says the wheat will grow and make more bread and cookies. Tom and Sue are happy and proud. They like to help on the farm. They hope the sun will come back soon. +Lila and Tom were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and have fun. One day, they found a big box of polish in the garage. They wondered what it was for. + +"Let's polish something!" Lila said. + +"Like what?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe the street!" Lila said. "It will make it shiny and pretty!" + +They took the box of polish and ran to the street. They saw a lot of cars and bikes and people. They looked for a spot to polish. + +"Here!" Lila said, pointing to a patch of pavement. "Let's polish this!" + +They opened the box and took out a cloth and a bottle. They poured some polish on the cloth and rubbed it on the pavement. They worked hard and fast. They wanted to see the street sparkle. + +"Look!" Tom said. "It's working! It's getting shiny!" + +They smiled and polished some more. They did not see the big truck coming their way. They did not hear the horn. They did not notice the angry driver. + +"Hey!" the driver shouted. "What are you doing? Get out of the way!" + +He slammed on the brakes and stopped the truck. He got out and walked towards them. He looked very mad. + +Lila and Tom dropped the cloth and the bottle. They were scared. They did not mean to cause trouble. They just wanted to polish the street. + +"Sorry, mister!" Lila said. + +"We were just playing!" Tom said. + +The driver looked at them and then at the pavement. He saw the polish and the cloth and the bottle. He saw the shiny spot. He shook his head. + +"You kids are crazy!" he said. "You can't polish the street! You could have been hurt! You could have damaged my truck! You could have caused an accident!" + +He picked up the box of polish and gave it to them. + +"Take this and go home!" he said. "And don't ever do this again!" + +Lila and Tom nodded. They took the box and ran away. They were sorry and ashamed. They learned their lesson. They decided to never polish the street again. They decided to find a safer way to be adventurous. +Lila was a girl who liked to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped to the park, she skipped to the shop. She was happy when she skipped, and she made others happy too. + +One day, she saw a big sign that said "Ice Cream". She loved ice cream, especially with cream on top. She skipped to the sign, and saw a man with a cart. He had many flavors of ice cream, and a big can of cream. + +"Hello, little girl," he said. "Do you want some ice cream?" + +"Yes, please," Lila said. "Can I have vanilla with cream?" + +"Sure, sure," the man said. "But it will cost you two coins." + +Lila had only one coin in her pocket. She felt sad. She wanted the ice cream so much. + +"Please, sir, can I have it for one coin?" she asked. + +The man looked around. He saw no one else. He smiled a bad smile. + +"Okay, okay," he said. "But you have to do something for me first. You have to skip to that alley over there, and bring me back a bag that you will find there. It is very important. Can you do that?" + +Lila thought the man was wise. He knew where to find a bag. Maybe it had more coins in it. She nodded and took the coin from her pocket. She gave it to the man and ran to the alley. She skipped as fast as she could. + +But when she got to the alley, she saw no bag. She saw two big boys. They had mean faces and sharp sticks. They saw Lila and laughed. + +"Look what we have here," one of them said. "A little girl who likes to skip. Let's have some fun with her." + +They grabbed Lila and pushed her to the ground. They took her shoes and her dress. They hit her with their sticks. They made her cry and bleed. + +Lila wished she had not skipped to the alley. She wished she had not trusted the man. She wished she had not wanted the ice cream. She wished someone would help her. But no one came. She was alone and hurt. + +The man with the cart heard her cry. He did not care. He took the coin and the ice cream and the cream. He left the sign and the cart. He ran away. He was not wise. He was bad. He was a thief. He had tricked Lila. + +Lila never skipped again. +Lily and Tom were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. They found many shells of different colors and shapes. Some were big and some were small. Some were smooth and some were bumpy. + +"Look, Lily, I found a shell with a hole in it!" Tom said. He showed Lily his shell. It was white and round, with a small hole on one side. + +"Wow, that's a nice shell, Tom. Can I see it?" Lily asked. She reached out her hand to take the shell. + +But Tom pulled the shell away. "No, it's mine. I found it first. You can't have it," he said. He was not very nice. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to see the shell too. She thought Tom was being mean. She looked around and saw another shell on the sand. It was yellow and long, with a pointy end. She picked it up and said, "Fine, I don't want your shell. I have a better shell. Look, it's yellow and pointy. It's like a lemon." + +Tom looked at Lily's shell. He felt curious and jealous. He wanted to see the yellow shell too. He said, "Let me see your shell, Lily. Maybe we can trade shells. Mine has a hole and yours has a point." + +Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to be nice, but she also wanted to teach Tom a lesson. She said, "OK, Tom, you can see my shell. But you have to do something first. You have to lick my shell and tell me how it tastes." + +Tom thought that was a strange thing to do, but he agreed. He wanted to see the yellow shell. He gave Lily his shell with a hole and took her shell with a point. He put the pointy end in his mouth and licked it. + +But as soon as he licked it, he made a face. The shell was sour and bitter. It tasted awful. He spit it out and said, "Yuck, Lily, your shell is sour. It's not like a lemon. It's like a bad lemon.

It was for Mrs. Lee, who was very nice and always gave them cookies. The cake had a lot of frosting and decorations. It looked very yummy. Tom and Sam wanted to taste it, but their dad said no. He said they had to be careful and not ruin the cake. + +Tom and Sam put the cake in the basket and rode their bike. On the way, they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running after them. Tom and Sam were scared. They pedaled faster, but the dog was faster. The dog jumped on the basket and tried to bite the cake. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom shouted. "This is not for you!" + +Sam saw a knife in the basket. It was a regular knife that their dad used to cut bread. Sam had an idea. He grabbed the knife and waved it at the dog. He hoped the dog would be afraid and leave them alone. + +But the dog was not afraid. The dog was angry. The dog bit the knife and pulled it from Sam's hand. The knife flew in the air and landed on the cake. The cake was cut in half and fell on the ground. The dog ate the cake and ran away. + +Tom and Sam were very sad. They had ruined the cake and made Mrs. Lee unhappy. They did not know what to do. They went back to their dad and told him what happened. Their dad was not angry. He was sorry for them. He said they should not have used the knife. He said the knife was dangerous and not a toy. He said they should have asked for help or gone another way. + +Tom and Sam learned their lesson. They said they were sorry and hugged their dad. Their dad made another cake for Mrs. Lee and gave them some cookies. He said he was proud of them for being honest and brave. He said they were good boys who liked to help. He said he loved them very much. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toy animals in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were in the jungle. Tim had a big lion and Lily had a small monkey. + +One day, Tim wanted to scare Lily with his lion. He hid behind a bush and waited for Lily to come near. When she did, he jumped out and roared. "I am the king of the jungle!" he said. "My lion is powerful and can squeeze your head!" + +Lily was not scared. She laughed and said, "My monkey is smarter and faster than your lion. He can climb trees and swing from vines. He can tickle your lion's nose and make him sneeze!" + +Tim and Lily started to chase each other with their toy animals. They ran and jumped and rolled on the grass. They had fun and forgot to be angry. They were friends and shared their toys. They learned that being powerful is not as important as being kind. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they always wanted more. They saw a big box in the living room and wondered what was inside. They decided to open it and see. + +Inside the box, they found a big, shiny car that was a luxury for children. It had four wheels, a horn, and a seat for two. Lila and Ben were very happy and wanted to try it. They lifted the car out of the box, but it was very heavy. They had to use all their strength to move it. + +They pushed the car to the backyard, where they had more space to play. They took turns to sit in the car and honk the horn. They pretended to drive around and have fun. They did not share the car with their friends, who came to visit. They said the car was only for them. + +But their friends were not happy. They felt left out and sad. They did not want to play with Lila and Ben anymore. They went away and found other things to do. Lila and Ben did not notice. They were too busy with their car. + +Soon, the car ran out of battery. It stopped moving and honking. Lila and Ben tried to push it, but it was too heavy. They could not move it back to the box. They looked around and saw that they were alone. Their friends were gone. They felt lonely and bored. They wished they had shared their car and played with their friends. They realized that having a luxury was not worth losing their friends. + +The moral of the story is: Be generous and kind to your friends, or you may end up alone. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One morning, they woke up very early and saw the sunrise. The sky was pink and orange and the sun was bright and warm. + +"Look, Lily, the sunrise is so fair!" Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben, it is fair and pretty. Let's go outside and march to the park!" Lily said. + +They put on their shoes and coats and ran to the door. They asked their mom if they could go outside. + +"Can we go outside, mom? Please, please, please?" they said. + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can go outside, but only for a little while. And stay close to the house, okay?" + +"Okay, mom, thank you!" they said. + +They opened the door and went outside. They saw some birds and flowers and trees. They held hands and started to march. + +"March, march, march, we are going to the park!" they sang. + +They marched and sang and had fun. They saw the sunrise and felt happy. They were fair and kind to each other. They loved to play outside. +Tara was a cat who liked to tease. She would hide under the sofa and jump out at the dog, Max, when he walked by. She would scratch the curtains and knock over the vase. She would run away when her owner tried to pet her. + +One day, Tara saw a bird outside the window. She wanted to catch it and play with it. She ran to the door and meowed loudly. Her owner heard her and opened the door. Tara dashed outside and chased the bird. + +But the bird was too fast and too smart for Tara. It flew high in the sky and then landed on a branch. Tara tried to climb the tree, but she slipped and fell. She hurt her paw and her tail. She felt scared and alone. + +She heard Max barking from inside the house. He saw Tara and wanted to help her. He ran to the door and barked louder. His owner heard him and opened the door. Max ran outside and found Tara. + +"Are you okay, Tara?" Max asked. He licked her paw and her tail. He was kind and gentle. + +Tara felt sorry for teasing Max. She realized he was a good friend. She meowed softly and rubbed her head against his fur. She was grateful and happy. + +"Thank you, Max," Tara said. "You are a good dog. I will not tease you anymore." + +Max wagged his tail and smiled. He was glad that Tara was okay. He hoped that she meant what she said. + +Their owner saw them and smiled too. He picked up Tara and carried her inside. He gave her some food and water and a soft bed. He petted Max and praised him. He was proud of his pets. + +Tara and Max learned a lesson that day. They learned that teasing is not fun and that friendship is better. They learned to be nice to each other and to their owner. They lived happily ever after. +Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around for Tom, but she could not see him. Where did he go? + +She walked to the big tree and looked behind it. No Tom. She walked to the slide and looked under it. No Tom. She walked to the bench and looked on it. No Tom. She started to feel sad and scared. Where was Tom? Did he vanish? + +She called out, "Tom, where are you? I can't find you. Come out, come out, please!" + +She heard a giggle from behind the bushes. She ran to the bushes and pushed them aside. There was Tom, hiding and smiling. He jumped out and said, "Boo! I scared you, Lily!" + +Lily felt a mix of feelings. She was angry that Tom tricked her, but she was also glad that he was safe and not vanished. She said, "Tom, that was not nice. You made me worry. Don't do that again, okay?" + +Tom felt sorry for Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just having fun. I didn't mean to make you worry. I won't do that again, okay?" + +Lily and Tom hugged and made up. They decided to play another game, but this time, they would stay close to each other. They heard a loud sound from the park gate. It was their mom, calling them. It was time to go home. They ran to their mom, holding hands. Their mom was happy to see them. She said, "Did you have fun, kids?" + +They said, "Yes, mom, we had fun. But Tom vanished and I couldn't find him. He scared me, but then he said sorry. We are friends again." + +Their mom said, "I'm glad you are friends again, but don't vanish like that, Tom. It's not safe. You have to stay where I can see you, okay?" + +Tom said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I won't vanish again." + +Lily said, "Me too, mom. I won't vanish either." + +Their mom said, "Good. Now let's go home. I have a surprise for you. It's your favorite cake!" + +Lily and Tom cheered and followed their mom. They were happy and hungry. They forgot about the alarm that they heard in the park. It was just a fire truck passing by. They didn't know that it was going to a house that was on fire. They didn't know that someone had vanished in the fire. They didn't know that someone was not glad at all. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a grill. The grill was for their dad to cook meat and corn when it was sunny and warm. Tom and Sam knew they were not allowed to touch the grill, because it was hot and dangerous. + +One day, Tom and Sam were bored and wanted to have some fun. They saw the grill and had an idea. They decided to use the grill to make their own food. They found some bread, cheese and ham in the kitchen and took them outside. They opened the grill and put the bread, cheese and ham on it. Then they closed the grill and waited. + +They did not know how to use the grill. They did not turn it on or off. They did not check the food. They did not see the smoke or smell the fire. They just played with their toys and forgot about the grill. + +Soon, the grill was very hot and the food was burned. The fire grew bigger and bigger and reached the grass and the trees. The smoke was thick and black and filled the air. Tom and Sam heard a loud noise and saw the flames. They were scared and ran to the house. They called for their dad and mom. + +Their dad and mom came outside and saw the fire. They were angry and sad. They called the firemen to put out the fire. They scolded Tom and Sam for using the grill without permission. They said they could have been hurt or worse. They said they had to pay a lot of money to fix the yard and the grill. They said they were not allowed to play outside for a long time. Tom and Sam cried and said they were sorry. They wished they had not used the grill. They learned a hard lesson. +Lily did not like gym. She had to run and jump and throw balls. She was not good at any of these things. She was good at reading and drawing and singing. She liked these things better. + +One day, the gym teacher said they would play a new game. It was called dodgeball. Lily did not know what dodgeball was. She saw the teacher give each team a big red ball. The teacher said they had to throw the ball at the other team and try not to get hit. + +Lily was scared. She did not want to get hit by the ball. She did not want to throw the ball either. She tried to hide behind her friends. But the other team saw her. They threw the ball at her. It hit her in the face. It hurt. Lily started to cry. + +The teacher stopped the game. He ran to Lily and asked if she was okay. He gave her a tissue and a hug. He said he was sorry. He said dodgeball was not for everyone. He said Lily was smart and had other talents. He said he would let her choose the next game. + +Lily sighed. She was glad the teacher was nice. She was glad the game was over. She wiped her tears and smiled. She said she wanted to play a game with words. She said she knew a lot of words. She said she could teach the other kids some new words. The teacher nodded. He said that was a good idea. He said Lily was smart and kind. He said he was proud of her. Lily felt happy. She liked words. She liked the teacher. She liked gym a little bit more. +Tim and Lily were twins who loved to race each other. They raced on their bikes, on their feet, and even on their spoons. They always had fun, but sometimes they argued about who was faster. + +One day, their mom made them a yummy lunch of pasta and sauce. She told them to eat well and be nice to each other. She also said she had a surprise for them after lunch. + +Tim and Lily ate their pasta quickly, but they did not forget the sauce. They liked the sauce a lot. It was red and sweet and made their mouths happy. They both wanted to have more sauce than the other. + +"I have more sauce than you!" Tim said. + +"No, you don't! I have more sauce than you!" Lily said. + +They started to scoop more sauce from the bowl, but the bowl was almost empty. They saw one big spoonful of sauce left in the bowl. They both reached for it at the same time. + +"Let go! It's mine!" Tim said. + +"Let go! It's mine!" Lily said. + +They pulled and pulled, but neither of them would let go. They pulled so hard that the spoon flew out of their hands and the sauce splashed all over their faces and clothes. + +They looked at each other and started to laugh. They were both covered in sauce. They realized they had been silly and greedy. They hugged and said sorry to each other. + +Their mom came back and saw them. She smiled and said, "You two are such a mess! But I'm glad you made up. Now, do you want to see your surprise?" + +Tim and Lily nodded and followed their mom. She took them to the backyard, where they saw two shiny new scooters. They had stickers and bells and baskets. They were the same color as the sauce. + +"These are for you, my reliable racers," their mom said. "You always finish what you start, and you always help each other. I'm proud of you." + +Tim and Lily hugged their mom and thanked her. They were so happy and excited. They put on their helmets and got on their scooters. They looked at each other and smiled. + +"Ready, set, go!" they said, and raced away. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. Lily saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. She said to Ben, "Come on, let's go up the hill. It will be fun." + +Ben was scared. He said, "No, Lily, it is too high. I might fall and hurt myself." He stayed on the ground. + +Lily said, "Don't be scared, Ben. I will help you. You can do it. I will encourage you." She took his hand and started to climb. + +Ben followed Lily. He was still scared, but he wanted to try. He said, "OK, Lily, I will try. But be careful." + +They climbed and climbed. They reached the top of the hill. They saw the whole park and the sky. They felt happy and proud. They said, "Wow, we did it. We are so brave." + +They hugged and smiled. Then they heard a voice. It was their mom. She said, "Lily, Ben, it is time to go home. Come down from the hill." + +Lily and Ben said, "OK, mom, we are coming." They started to go down. + +But then, Lily slipped and fell. She scraped her knee. She cried, "Ow, ow, ow. It hurts." + +Ben saw Lily. He ran to her. He said, "Lily, are you OK? Don't cry. I will help you." He took off his scarf and wrapped it around her knee. He said, "This is a bandage. It will make you feel better." + +Lily stopped crying. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are so kind. You are a good friend." + +Ben said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good friend too. You encouraged me to climb the hill. You are so brave." + +They hugged and smiled. Then they went to their mom. She said, "Oh, Lily, what happened to your knee? Are you OK?" + +Lily said, "I fell, mom. But Ben helped me. He gave me a bandage. He is a good friend." + +Mom said, "I'm sorry, Lily. But I'm glad Ben helped you. He is a good friend. You are both good friends. And you are both brave. But next time, be more careful. The hill is too high for you." + +She kissed Lily's knee and Ben's cheek. She said, "Let's go home. I will give you some cookies and milk. You will feel safe and warm." + +Lily and Ben said, "OK, mom. We love you." They held hands and walked home. They were happy. They were good friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today they go to the park. They see a big ball. It is red and blue and yellow. They want to bounce the ball. + +"Can we bounce the ball, please?" Lily asks the man who has the ball. + +"Sure, you can bounce the ball. But be careful. The ball is very big and heavy. You need to exercise your arms and legs to bounce it," the man says. + +Lily and Ben take the ball. They try to bounce it. But the ball is too big and heavy for them. They can only bounce it a little bit. The ball goes up and down very slow. + +"This is hard," Lily says. + +"Yes, it is hard. But it is fun, too," Ben says. + +They keep bouncing the ball. They exercise their arms and legs. They laugh and smile. They have fun with the big ball. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they also knew they had to be obedient. Their mom told them to stay near the bench and not go too far. + +One day, they saw a big puddle near the fence. It looked like fun. They wanted to splash and jump in it. They looked at their mom. She was talking to another mom on the bench. She did not see them. + +Tom and Anna ran to the puddle. They took off their boots and socks. They threw them on the grass. They jumped in the puddle. They laughed and splashed. They got wet and muddy. + +But then they heard their mom call their names. She sounded angry. She saw them in the puddle. She saw their boots and socks on the grass. She walked to them. She looked very mad. + +Tom and Anna got scared. They knew they were not obedient. They knew they did not remain near the bench. They knew they did something bad. They got out of the puddle. They put on their boots and socks. They were wet and muddy. They said sorry to their mom. They hoped she would not be too mad. +Lily and Max love to play at the beach. They like to build sand castles, collect shells and splash in the water. Sometimes they see people surf on big waves. They think it looks fun and exciting. + +One day, they ask their mom if they can try to surf too. Their mom says, "Surfing is not for little kids. It is too hard and too dangerous. You need to be big and strong and know how to swim well. You also need a reliable board and a teacher. I do not permit you to surf." + +Lily and Max feel sad and disappointed. They do not understand why their mom is so strict. They think they can learn to surf if they try. They see a surf shop nearby. They have an idea. + +They sneak away from their mom and go to the surf shop. They see a lot of colorful boards and suits. They find a small board that they can carry. They put on some suits that are too big for them. They look like surfers. + +They run to the water with their board. They try to paddle and catch a wave. But they do not know what to do. The board is too heavy and slippery. The suits are too loose and wet. The water is too deep and cold. The waves are too fast and strong. They fall off the board and get scared. + +They hear their mom calling their names. She sees them in the water and runs to help them. She is angry and worried. She pulls them out of the water and hugs them. She says, "What were you thinking? You could have drowned! You are not ready to surf. You need to listen to me. I only want to keep you safe. I love you." + +Lily and Max feel sorry and ashamed. They realize their mom is right. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to surf like the big people. We did not mean to make you mad. We love you too." + +Their mom says, "I forgive you, but you have to promise me to never do that again. Surfing is not a game. It is a sport that requires skill and practice. Maybe when you are older and more prepared, I will let you take some lessons. But for now, you can only watch and admire." + +Lily and Max agree and nod. They return the board and the suits to the surf shop. They apologize to the owner. They go back to their mom and play with her at the beach. They still like to watch the surfers, but they do not try to copy them. They know they have to wait and learn. They are happy to have a mom who cares for them. +Lily and Sam were bored. They wanted to play outside, but it was raining. They looked out the window and saw the gray sky and the wet grass. + +"Let's imagine we are in a sunny place," Lily said. "Where do you want to go?" + +Sam thought for a moment. He liked the beach. He liked the sand and the water and the shells. "Let's imagine we are at the beach," he said. + +"Okay," Lily agreed. She grabbed a cheap blanket and spread it on the floor. She pretended it was a towel. She took some pillows and stuffed animals and put them on the blanket. She pretended they were her friends. She also found a bucket and a spoon and pretended they were for making sandcastles. + +Sam joined her on the blanket. He took a ball and pretended it was a beach ball. He threw it to Lily and she threw it back. They laughed and had fun. They pretended they could hear the waves and the seagulls. They pretended they could feel the sun and the breeze. + +They forgot about the rain. They imagined they were at the beach. They were happy. +Jill liked to number her dolls. She had five dolls and she gave each one a number. One was Anna, two was Bella, three was Clara, four was Dora and five was Ella. She put a sticker on each doll's dress with their number. She was very proud of her dolls. + +One day, Jill's brother Jack came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play. He saw Jill's dolls and thought they looked funny. He took off their stickers and mixed them up. He laughed and ran away. Jill was very sad and angry. She did not know which doll was which. + +Jill cried and told her mom what Jack did. Mom was not happy with Jack. She called him and told him to come back. She asked him why he was mean to Jill's dolls. Jack said he was just having fun. Mom said that was not fun, that was rude. She told him to say sorry to Jill and help her fix her dolls. + +Jack said sorry to Jill, but he did not mean it. He did not like dolls. He thought they were silly and boring. He did not remember which sticker belonged to which doll. He tried to guess, but he was wrong. He put one on Anna, two on Dora, three on Ella, four on Bella and five on Clara. He hoped Jill would not notice. + +Jill looked at her dolls and saw that they were wrong. She knew her dolls very well. She knew that Anna had a red lip, Bella had a blue lip, Clara had a pink lip, Dora had a green lip and Ella had a purple lip. She also knew that Anna was graceful, Bella was smart, Clara was sweet, Dora was brave and Ella was funny. She saw that Jack had mixed up their numbers and their personalities. She was very upset and told Jack that he had made a big mistake. She took off the stickers and put them back on the right dolls. She hugged her dolls and told them she loved them. She told Jack to go away and never touch her dolls again. Jack felt bad and wished he had not been mean to Jill's dolls. He learned his lesson and never bothered them again. +Lila was a very independent cat. She liked to do things by herself, without any help from her humans. She did not like to wear a collar, or to sleep in a basket, or to play with toys. She liked to explore the garden, and to hunt for mice, and to nap in the sun. + +One day, Lila smelled something very yummy. It was tuna, her favorite food. She followed the smell to the kitchen, where she saw a big can on the counter. She jumped up and tried to open it, but it was too hard. She scratched and bit the can, but it did not open. She was very frustrated and hungry. + +Then she heard a voice. It was her human, Emma. Emma saw Lila on the counter, and smiled. She said, "Lila, do you want some tuna?" She took the can and opened it with a tool. She put some tuna in a bowl and put it on the floor. She said, "Here you go, Lila. Enjoy your tuna." + +Lila looked at the bowl and then at Emma. She was tempted by the tuna, but she did not want to seem too eager. She wanted to show Emma that she was independent, and that she did not need her. She pretended to ignore the bowl and the human. She walked away from the counter and jumped on the sofa. She lay down and licked her paw. + +Emma was not fooled by Lila's act. She knew that Lila was proud and stubborn, but also curious and smart. She decided to try a different approach. She took the bowl and the can, and went to the living room. She sat on the floor and said, "Lila, do you want to share some tuna with me?" She put the bowl in front of her and the can next to her. She took a fork and scooped some tuna from the can. She said, "Mmm, this is delicious. Do you want some?" + +Lila watched Emma from the sofa. She smelled the tuna again, and felt her mouth water. She wondered what it would be like to share some tuna with Emma. She thought that maybe Emma was not so bad, and that maybe she could be her friend. She decided to give it a try. She got off the sofa and walked slowly to Emma. She kneel down next to her and sniffed the bowl. She licked some tuna and said, "Meow." + +Emma smiled and said, "Good girl, Lila. I'm glad you like it." She stroked Lila's fur and said, "You are a very independent cat, but you can also be a very sweet cat. I love you, Lila." She gave Lila a kiss and said, "Let's eat some tuna together, okay?" + +Lila purred and said, "Meow." She ate some more tuna and rubbed her head against Emma's leg. She felt happy and warm. She thought that maybe being independent was good, but being loved was better. She thought that maybe she could have both. She thought that maybe she and Emma could be a family. +Lily was a big girl who liked to help her mom. One day, her mom asked her to hold a basket of apples and follow her to the market. Lily was happy to do that. She held the basket with both hands and walked behind her mom. + +On the way, they saw a little boy who was crying. He had fallen down and hurt his knee. His mom was not there. Lily felt sorry for him. She wanted to give him an apple to make him feel better. She put the basket down and took out an apple. + +But when she did that, a dog came and took the basket. It ran away with the apples. Lily and her mom were shocked. They tried to chase the dog, but it was too fast. They lost the basket and the apples. + +Lily was very sad. She had lost her mom's apples and she had not helped the boy. She said sorry to her mom. Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You did a good thing. You wanted to share and be kind. That is more important than apples. I'm proud of you." + +Lily felt a little better. She still wished she had the apples, but she was glad her mom was not angry. She learned that she should always hold the basket tight and not let go. She also learned that being generous and caring is fine. She hoped the boy and the dog were fine too. +Lily liked to write stories. She had a big book and a red pen. She wrote about her toys, her friends, and her dreams. She wrote every night before she went to sleep. + +One night, she looked out of her window and saw the moon. It was big and bright and round. She wondered what it was like to go to the moon. She decided to write a story about it. + +She wrote: "Lily went to the moon. She wore a space suit and a helmet. She flew in a rocket. She saw stars and planets. She landed on the moon. She walked on the moon. She met a moon man. He was smelly. He said, 'Hello, Lily. Do you want to play with me?'" + +Lily stopped writing. She thought for a moment. She did not want to play with a smelly moon man. She wanted to go back to her home. She wrote: "Lily said, 'No, thank you. You are too smelly. I want to go home.' She ran to her rocket. She flew back to Earth. She was happy to see her mom and dad. She hugged them and said, 'I love you.' She went to bed. She dreamed of the moon." + +Lily smiled. She liked her story. She closed her book and turned off her light. She said, "Good night, moon. Good night, smelly moon man. Good night, stars. Good night, everyone." She fell asleep. +Sara was sad. She missed her grandma, who lived far away. She wanted to hug her and talk to her. She looked at the phone on the table. She knew how to use it, but she was not allowed to call anyone without asking. + +She went to her mom, who was busy in the kitchen. "Mom, can I call grandma?" she asked in a small voice. + +Mom smiled and put down her spoon. "Of course, sweetie. You can call grandma anytime you want. She loves to hear from you." She picked up the phone and dialed the number. She handed the phone to Sara. + +"Hello?" a familiar voice said. + +"Hi, grandma! It's me, Sara!" Sara said happily. + +"Hi, Sara! I'm so glad you called. How are you, my dear?" grandma said. + +"I'm good, grandma. But I miss you. I wish you were here." Sara said. + +"I miss you too, Sara. But I'm always in your heart, and you're always in mine. And we can talk on the phone whenever we want. That's a wonderful thing, don't you think?" grandma said. + +"Yes, grandma. It is. I love you, grandma." Sara said. + +"I love you too, Sara. You're a very smart and kind girl. And you have a very colorful imagination. You always make me smile with your stories." grandma said. + +"Thank you, grandma. You always comfort me with your words. You're the best grandma ever." Sara said. + +They talked for a while, and Sara felt happy and warm. She thanked her mom for letting her call grandma, and gave her a big hug. She learned that even when she was sad, she could find comfort in talking to someone who loved her. And she learned that the phone was a magical thing that could connect her to her grandma, no matter how far away she was. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Tom sees a new toy in the shop. It is a big truck with lights and sounds. Tom wants the toy very much. He asks his mom to buy it for him. + +"Mom, can I have the truck, please?" Tom says. + +"Sorry, Tom, but the truck is too expensive. We don't have enough money for it. Maybe you can save some money and buy it later," Mom says. + +Tom is sad. He really wants the truck. He thinks of a plan. He decides to take the truck when Mom is not looking. He puts the truck in his bag and walks out of the shop. + +Sue sees Tom with the truck. She is surprised. She knows that Tom did not buy the truck. She knows that Tom did a bad thing. She wants to tell Tom to give the truck back. + +"Tom, where did you get the truck?" Sue says. + +"I got it from the shop. It is mine now," Tom says. + +"No, Tom, you did not get it from the shop. You took it without paying. That is wrong. That is against the law. You have to give it back," Sue says. + +"What is the law?" Tom says. + +"The law is the rule that everyone has to follow. The law says that you cannot take things that are not yours. If you break the law, you will get in trouble. The shop owner will be angry. The police will come. You will have to speak to them. You will have to say sorry. You will have to give the truck back. You might have to pay a fine. You might lose your toys. You might lose your friends. You don't want that, do you?" Sue says. + +Tom is scared. He does not want to get in trouble. He does not want to lose his truck. He does not want to lose his friends. He realizes that he made a mistake. He decides to listen to Sue. He decides to give the truck back. + +"OK, Sue, you are right. I did a bad thing. I will give the truck back. I will say sorry. I will follow the law. I hope the shop owner and the police will forgive me. I hope you will still be my friend," Tom says. + +Sue is happy. She is proud of Tom. She thinks that Tom is brave and honest. She thinks that Tom learned a lesson. She hugs Tom and says, "Of course I will still be your friend. You are a good friend. You did the right thing. Come on, let's go back to the shop and give the truck back. Maybe we can find another toy that is not so expensive. Maybe we can share it. Maybe we can have more fun." +Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big tree in their yard with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +They asked their mom if they could climb the tree. Mom said yes, but be careful. She gave them a rope and a helmet. She said the rope and the helmet would help them be safe. + +Tim and Lily put on their helmets and tied the rope to their waists. They started to climb the tree. They used their hands and feet to grab the branches. They felt mighty and brave. + +They climbed higher and higher until they reached the top. They saw the birds and the clouds and the sun. They smiled and waved to their mom. They were very happy. + +But then, Lily felt something hard and sharp in her mouth. She touched it with her tongue. It was a tooth. Her tooth was loose. She wiggled it with her finger. It came out. She held it in her hand. + +She showed it to Tim. Tim was surprised. He said, "Wow, you lost a tooth! That means the tooth fairy will come tonight. She will give you a coin for your tooth. You are lucky!" + +Lily was excited. She said, "Really? That's awesome! Let's go down and tell mom. Maybe she has a box for my tooth." + +They climbed down the tree carefully. They untied the rope and took off their helmets. They ran to their mom and showed her the tooth. Mom hugged them and praised them. She said, "You did a great job climbing the tree. And you lost a tooth. That's a big day for you. I'm so proud of you!" + +She gave them a small box and a glass of water. She said, "Put your tooth in the box and put it under your pillow. The tooth fairy will find it when you sleep. Now, drink some water and wash your mouth. Then, you can have a snack and rest." + +Tim and Lily did as mom said. They put the tooth in the box and the box under the pillow. They drank some water and washed their mouth. They had a snack and rested. They were tired but happy. They dreamed of the tree and the tooth fairy. They were mighty twins. +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. She helped mom stir the soup, cut the bread, and set the table. She felt very happy and proud. + +One day, mom had to go to the store. She told Lily to stay in the kitchen and watch the soup. She said, "Don't touch the stove, it's very hot. And don't lose your apron, it's a gift from grandma. I'll be back soon." Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'll be good." + +But Lily was bored. She wanted to play. She saw a ball on the floor. She picked it up and threw it in the air. She caught it and threw it again. She giggled and ran around the kitchen. She forgot about the soup and the apron. + +The ball bounced off the wall and hit the stove. The stove knob turned and the flame got bigger. The soup boiled over and spilled on the floor. The apron caught fire and burned. Lily screamed and dropped the ball. She ran to the door and cried for help. + +Mom came back and saw the smoke and the mess. She was very angry and scared. She turned off the stove and put out the fire. She hugged Lily and checked if she was hurt. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You could have been hurt. You didn't listen to me. You lost your apron. It was a gift from grandma. She will be very sad. You are in big trouble, young lady." + +Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to play. I didn't mean to lose my apron. I didn't mean to make a fire. Please don't be mad at me. Please don't tell grandma." + +Mom sighed and said, "Lily, I'm glad you're okay. But you have to learn to follow the rules. You have to be careful in the kitchen. You have to respect your things. You have to say sorry to grandma. You have to help me clean up. And you have to go to your room. No more playing for today." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I'll do better next time." She followed mom to the kitchen and helped her clean up. She saw the ashes of her apron and felt very sad. She wished she had listened to mom. She wished she had not lost her apron. She wished she had not played with the ball. She wished she had a happy ending. +One day, a boy named Ben saw a big ship at the beach. He wanted to go and see it. He asked his mom if he could go. His mom said no, it was not safe. But Ben did not listen. He ran to the ship when his mom was not looking. + +On the ship, he saw many men with hats and hooks and swords. They were pirates. They saw Ben and laughed. They said he was a little snack for them. Ben was scared. He asked them to let him go. He said he was sorry for coming to their ship. He said he would be polite and not bother them again. + +But the pirates did not care. They were not polite. They were mean and greedy. They said they would keep Ben and make him work for them. They said they would sail away and never come back. They said they would teach Ben how to be a pirate. + +Ben cried and cried. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had stayed at the beach. He wished he had never seen the ship. He learned that it was not good to disobey and to go to dangerous places. He learned that pirates were not fun and friendly, but cruel and scary. He learned that being polite was not enough to escape from trouble. He learned that he had made a big mistake. +Lily was a little girl who loved animals. She had a big dog named Max, who was her best friend. Max had soft fur, a wet nose, and four big paws. Lily liked to play with Max in the garden, and give him hugs and treats. + +One day, Lily saw a new animal in the garden. It was a small, fluffy cat, with green eyes and a long tail. The cat was hiding under a bush, and looked scared. Lily wanted to pet the cat, and make it happy. She walked slowly towards the bush, and said, "Hello, cat. I am Lily. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The cat did not answer. It hissed, and showed its sharp teeth and claws. It did not want to be Lily's friend. It wanted to be alone. Lily felt sad, and backed away. She did not want to hurt the cat, or make it angry. + +Max saw what happened, and ran to Lily. He licked her face, and wagged his tail. He wanted to cheer Lily up, and make her smile. He said, "Woof, woof. Don't be sad, Lily. I am your friend. I love you." + +Lily hugged Max, and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Max. You are my friend. I love you too." She stroked his big paws, and his soft fur. She said, "You are the best dog in the world. You are better than any cat." Max barked, and licked her face again. He was happy, and so was Lily. They played in the garden, and forgot about the cat. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they went to the stream. The stream was clear and cold. They saw fish and frogs and stones. + +"Look, Lily, a big stone!" Tom said. "Let's seat on it and watch the water." + +"OK, Tom, that sounds fun," Lily said. They walked to the stone and sat on it. They felt the sun on their faces and the wind in their hair. + +But the stone was not a stone. It was a turtle. The turtle did not like to have children on its back. It was angry and scared. It moved fast and shook them off. + +"Help, Lily, help!" Tom cried. He fell into the stream. The stream was deep and strong. It carried him away. + +"Tom, Tom!" Lily shouted. She tried to reach him, but she could not. She was too small and the stream was too big. She saw him disappear in the water. + +Lily was sad and afraid. She ran to get help, but it was too late. Tom was gone. The stream took him. Lily lost her friend. She wished she never sat on the turtle. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to watch television after school. They have one television in their room. But they do not like the same shows. Lily likes to watch cartoons. Ben likes to watch animals. + +One day, they have a big fight. Lily wants to watch a cartoon about a princess. Ben wants to watch a show about lions. They both grab the remote. They pull and tug. They yell and cry. + +"Let go! It is my turn!" Lily says. + +"No, it is my turn! I want to see the lions!" Ben says. + +They are so loud that Mom hears them. She comes to their room. She is not happy. She sees the television. The screen is not clear. It has lines and colors. It makes a funny noise. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "You broke the television!" + +Lily and Ben stop fighting. They look at the television. They look at Mom. They feel sorry. + +"We are sorry, Mom," they say. "We both wanted to watch our show. We did not part the remote. We did not mean to break the television." + +Mom sighs. She hugs them. She says, "I know you both like different shows. But you have to learn to part. You have to take turns. You have to share. And you have to be careful with the television. It is not a toy. It is expensive." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We will part, Mom. We will take turns. We will share. And we will be careful with the television." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That is good. Now, let us see if we can fix the television. Maybe we can watch a show that you both like. How about a cartoon about animals?" + +Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Yes, Mom. We like that. Thank you, Mom." + +They hug Mom. They part the remote. They watch the television. The screen is clear. They are happy. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a small boat that they could sail on the pond. They also liked to pick berries from the bushes and eat them. + +One day, they saw a big boat on the pond. It was red and white and had a flag. It looked impressive. Ben and Mia wanted to see it closer. + +"Whoa, look at that boat!" Ben said. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Can we sail to it?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, let's go!" Ben said. They got on their boat and started to paddle. + +As they got closer, they saw a man on the big boat. He was wearing a hat and a coat. He smiled and waved at them. + +"Hello, little sailors!" he said. "Do you like my boat?" + +"Yes, we do!" Ben and Mia said. "It is very impressive!" + +"Thank you!" the man said. "It is my hobby. I like to make boats and sail them. What is your hobby?" + +"We like to pick berries and eat them!" Ben and Mia said. + +"That sounds fun!" the man said. "Do you have any berries with you?" + +"Yes, we do!" Ben and Mia said. They showed him their basket of berries. + +"Wow, those look delicious!" the man said. "Can I have some?" + +"Sure, you can!" Ben and Mia said. They shared their berries with the man. + +The man thanked them and gave them some cookies. They ate and talked and laughed. They had a good time. + +Ben and Mia liked the man and his boat. They made a new friend. They were happy. +Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play in the attic. The attic is full of old things. Some things are ancient. Ancient means very, very old. + +One day, they find a big box. The box is dusty and heavy. They open the box. Inside, they see many shiny things. They see coins, rings, necklaces, and a lamp. The lamp is ancient. It has a bulb on top. + +"Wow, look at this lamp!" Tom says. He picks up the lamp and rubs it. He wants to see if it works. + +"Be careful, Tom. It might be broken," Sue says. She is afraid of the dark. She wants to go back downstairs. + +Suddenly, the bulb flashes. A puff of smoke comes out of the lamp. Tom and Sue are scared. They drop the lamp and hide behind the box. + +"Hello, hello. Who are you?" a voice says. The voice is loud and strange. Tom and Sue peek from behind the box. They see a man. The man is big and blue. He has a long beard and a turban. He is smiling. + +"I am the genie of the lamp. You have freed me from my prison. I am very grateful. I will grant you three wishes. Anything you want, I can do," the man says. + +Tom and Sue are amazed. They have never seen a genie before. They have read about them in books. They wonder what to wish for. + +"Can you make us fly?" Tom asks. He wants to fly like a bird. + +"Can you make us rich?" Sue asks. She wants to have all the shiny things. + +"Of course, of course. Anything you want. But be careful what you wish for. Sometimes, wishes can have consequences," the genie says. He snaps his fingers. Tom and Sue feel a tingling in their feet. They look down. They see wings on their shoes. They look at each other. They smile. They are ready to fly. +Tom likes to observe things. He likes to look at the sky, the trees, the birds and the bugs. He likes to see how they move and what they do. He has a book with pictures of many things he can observe. He likes to look at the book and learn new words. + +One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He brings his book and his binoculars. He observes a squirrel on a branch. He observes a duck on the pond. He observes a butterfly on a flower. He is very happy. + +He sees a boy with a sandwich. The sandwich looks tasty.

She says they can make a tasty sandwich together. + +Tom nods. He puts his book and his binoculars in his backpack. He says goodbye to the squirrel, the duck and the butterfly. He holds his mom's hand and walks to the car. He is excited to make a tasty sandwich with his mom. He is also excited to observe more things tomorrow. +Ben liked to play mailman. He had a big bag of letters and cards that he made with paper and crayons. He went around the house and put them in different places for his family to find. He thought it was fun to surprise them. + +One day, he saw a big chair in the living room. It was his dad's chair. It was brown and soft and had a pillow on it. Ben thought it would be a good place to put a letter. He climbed on the chair and reached for the pillow. But when he lifted it, he saw something disgusting. + +It was a spider. A big, hairy, black spider. It had eight legs and eight eyes and it looked angry. Ben screamed and dropped the pillow. The spider ran out from under the pillow and onto the chair. Ben jumped off the chair and ran away. He was scared and he dropped his bag of letters. + +His dad heard him scream and came to see what was wrong. He saw the spider on the chair and the letters on the floor. He understood what happened. He picked up the spider and put it outside. He picked up the letters and put them in the bag.

I'm sorry I messed up your chair." His dad said, "Don't worry, son. I like your letters. They make me happy. You're a good mailman." He gave Ben a kiss and helped him finish his game.

Lila said, holding the prunes close to her. + +"That's not fair! You have more than me!" Sam said, trying to grab a prune. + +"Stop it! You are mean!" Lila said, pushing Sam away. + +They started to fight over the prunes, pulling and shouting. They did not see the big dog that came into the garden. The dog saw them and barked loudly. It wanted to play with them, but it did not know how to be gentle. It jumped on the tree and shook it hard. Lila and Sam lost their balance and fell from the tree. They landed on the ground with a thud. They cried out in pain and fear. The dog ran to them and licked their faces. It thought they were happy, but they were not. + +"Help! Help!" Lila and Sam screamed. + +Their parents heard them and came to the garden. They saw the dog and the prunes and the children. They were angry and scared. They shooed the dog away and picked up the children. They checked them for injuries and took them inside. They scolded them for climbing the tree and fighting over the prunes. They said they were naughty and foolish. They said they had to stay in their rooms and not play with each other for a long time. They said they had to learn to share and be kind. + +Lila and Sam felt sad and sorry. They wished they had not fought over the prunes. They wished they had united and played nicely. They wished they had not met the dog. They wished they had not climbed the tree. They lay in their beds, restless and lonely. They missed each other and the garden. They learned a hard lesson that day. The end. +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big blue truck on the road. It was very loud and shiny. They wanted to get closer and see it better. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Sam said. "The truck is so cool!" + +"No, Sam, we can't!" Lily said. "Mommy said we have to stay away from the traffic. It is dangerous!" + +But Sam did not listen. He ran across the street without looking. He did not see the car that was coming fast. The car hit Sam and he fell down. He cried very loud.

They cry and run back to Mom. + +"Mom, help! The dog is angry!" Jen says. + +Mom hugs them and says, "I told you not to go near the dog. The dog is not friendly. You have to listen to me. I don't want you to get hurt." + +Tim and Jen say sorry to Mom. They learn their lesson. They never forget to obey Mom again. They play with their toys and have fun in the park. They stay away from the dangerous gray dog. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. But today, the park is very dirty. There are cans and papers and bottles everywhere. + +"Who made this mess?" Tim asks. He is angry. + +"I don't know. Maybe some bad people," Sam says. He is sad. + +They see a big case near the slide. It is brown and filthy. It has a lock on it. + +"What is in there?" Tim wonders. He is curious. + +"Maybe it is a treasure," Sam guesses. He is hopeful. + +They run to the case. They try to open it. But it is too hard. They cannot break the lock. + +"Let me try," Tim says. He leans on the case. He pushes with all his might. + +But the case does not move. It is too heavy. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a horn. They look up. They see a truck. It is coming to the park. It has a sign on it. It says "Trash Collector". + +"Oh no!"

He sees the case. He picks it up. He throws it in the back of the truck. + +"Bye bye, treasure," Sam whispers. He is disappointed. + +"Maybe it was not a treasure. Maybe it was just trash," Tim says. He is wise. + +They go home. They tell their mom what they saw. She hugs them. She is proud. + +She says, "You are very brave and smart. But next time, don't touch filthy things. They can make you sick." + +They nod. They understand. + +They wash their hands. They have a snack. They play with their toys. They are happy. +Tim and Sam are friends. They live next to each other. They like to play in the yard. One day, they find a big ball. It is red and wide. They want to kick it and throw it. + +"Let's play with the ball!" Tim says. + +"OK, but we have to behave," Sam says. "We can't break anything or make noise." + +They start to play with the ball. They have fun. They kick it and throw it. They laugh and shout. + +But then, the ball goes too high. It flies over the fence. It lands in the neighbor's yard. The neighbor is old and grumpy. He does not like children. He does not like noise. He does not like balls. + +"Hey, you kids!" the neighbor yells. "Get off my lawn! Give me that ball!" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They run to the fence. They see the neighbor holding the ball.

I will paddle hard and fast." + +Sam is surprised. He says, "Kayak, you can talk? And you can paddle by yourself?" He is curious. He hops in and holds on. The kayak paddles hard and fast.
