He felt happy and proud. He knew that one day, he would need to wipe something bigger. + +The next day, Tim saw his mom spill juice on the floor. He remembered how he wiped his toy car. He thought it was his turn to be thoughtful. Tim got a cloth and wiped the floor clean. His mom smiled and thanked him. Tim felt happy because he had learned a new game - the wiping game. +Once upon a time, there was a man. He had a colorful box. The box was full of toys. He liked to share the toys with his friends. They were all very happy. + +One day, the man found more colorful toys. He put them in the box. The toys in the box increased. The man was very excited. He wanted to show his friends the new toys. + +The man went to his friends' houses. He showed them the colorful box. They all played with the new toys. The friends were very happy. They thanked the man for the new toys. And they all played together and had lots of fun. +Once upon a time, there was a colorful bird who loved to talk. This bird lived in a big tree with many other birds. One day, the colorful bird found a big, green avocado on the ground. + +The colorful bird wanted to share the avocado with his friends. So, he went to talk to them. He told them about the avocado and how they could all eat it together. The other birds were very happy to hear this. + +As they all shared the avocado, the birds learned that it is good to talk and share with friends. They became closer and happier because they shared the avocado. The moral of the story is that when we share and talk with others, it makes everyone happy. +Once upon a time, there was a little dog named Spot. Spot loved to play outside, but one day he found himself stuck in a room with a door. The door was difficult to open because it was so big and heavy. Spot was sad and wanted to escape. + +Spot tried to push the door open with his nose, but it didn't work. He tried to jump and hit the door with his paws, but it still didn't open. Spot was very sad and didn't know what to do. He sat down and thought very hard about how he could escape. + +Then, Spot had an idea. He saw a ball in the room and decided to play with it. He rolled the ball towards the door and it hit the door with a loud "bang!" The door slowly opened, and Spot was able to escape. He was so happy to be outside again, and he played all day long. +Once upon a time, in a small town, there was a big billboard. The billboard was very popular. It had a picture of a cat trying to catch a ball. All the people in the town loved to look at it. + +One day, a little girl named Lily walked by the billboard with her mom. Lily looked up at the cat and said, "Mommy, I want to try to catch the ball too!" Her mom smiled and said, "Okay, let's try together." + +Lily and her mom tried to catch the ball, just like the cat on the billboard. They laughed and had a lot of fun. All the other kids in the town saw them and wanted to try too. Soon, everyone was playing and trying to catch the ball. + +The cat on the billboard became even more popular. People from other towns came to see it and try to catch the ball too. Everyone loved the cat and the fun game it inspired. + +And so, the town with the popular billboard became a happy place, where people loved to play and try new things together. The cat on the billboard always reminded them to have fun and never give up. +Once upon a time, there was a little fish named Bob. Bob lived in the big ocean with his family. Bob liked to design things. He made pretty shapes in the sand with his tail. One day, Bob wanted to make the biggest design ever. + +Bob swam far away from his family to make his big design. He was not scared. He started to make the design, but then he saw a big, fearful shark. The shark wanted to eat Bob. Bob was very scared. + +Bob swam very fast back to his family. The shark chased him. Bob's family saw the shark and they all swam fast together. They hid in a cave. The shark could not find them. Bob was safe with his family. From that day, Bob only made designs near his family. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sue. Sue loved to mix things in her big bowl. One day, she wanted to make a surprise for her best friend, Tom. + +Sue was nervous, but she tried her best. She mixed flour, sugar, and eggs in her big bowl. She put it in the oven to bake. When it was done, she took it out and it smelled so good! + +Sue went to Tom's house and said, "Tom, I made a surprise for you!" Tom looked at the cake and smiled. "Thank you, Sue! Let's eat it together!" They both enjoyed the cake and had a fun day. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toy surf. One day, she went to the beach with her mom and dad. They all had a lot of fun. + +Lily saw two crabs playing near the water. They were very competitive. One crab said, "I bet I can carry this rock farther than you!" The other crab said, "No way! I am stronger!" They both tried to carry the rock as far as they could. + +Lily watched the crabs and clapped her hands. She said, "Good job, crabs!" The crabs smiled and went back to playing. Lily picked up her toy surf and showed it to the crabs. They all played together and had a great day at the beach. +One day, a little boy named Tim found a wet cane in his yard. He did not know where it came from. He thought it was a magic cane. He took the cane inside his house to show his mom. His mom said, "Be careful with that cane, Tim. It might have a surprise." + +Later, Tim played with his friend, Sue. He told her about the magic cane. They both wanted to know what it could do. Tim had an idea. He said, "Let's rub the cane and see what happens!" They rubbed the cane together. + +All of a sudden, a big, wet dog came running to them. The dog was happy and wagged its tail. Tim and Sue knew the magic cane made the dog appear. They played with the dog all day long. They were so happy they found the magic cane. +Tim and Kim were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They shared their toys and snacks. They were dependable friends. + +One day, a big dog came to the park. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked and ran towards Tim and Kim. They were scared and ran away. But the dog was faster and caught Tim by his leg. It bit him hard and made him bleed. Kim screamed and hoped someone would help. + +A man heard Kim and came to the park. He saw the dog and Tim. He shouted at the dog and threw a stick. The dog let go of Tim and ran away. The man picked up Tim and carried him to his car. He said he would take him to the hospital. Kim followed him and cried. + +At the hospital, the doctor looked at Tim's leg. He said it was a bad bite and he had to give him a shot. He said the shot would stop the germs from making him sick. He said the dog might have had rabies. He said Tim had to stay in the hospital for a few days. Kim said she was sorry and hugged Tim. Tim said it was not her fault and thanked her for being his friend. + +The next day, Kim came to visit Tim. She brought him a balloon and a card. She said she missed him and hoped he would get better soon. But Tim looked pale and weak. He said he felt very bad and his skin was hot. He said the shot did not work and he had rabies. He said he was going to die. Kim was shocked and sad. She did not know what to say. She held his hand and cried. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful of strange dogs. They can be dangerous and hurt you. If a dog bites you, you should tell an adult and go to the hospital right away. You should also get a vaccine to prevent rabies. Rabies is a very serious disease that can kill you. You should love and cherish your friends. They can help you and comfort you when you are in trouble. +Lily liked to make things with her daddy. They had a big box of shiny things that they could use. Some things were silver, some were gold, and some were copper. Copper was Lily's favorite, because it was orange and pretty. + +One day, Lily and her daddy decided to make a necklace for mommy. They took some copper wires and bent them into shapes. They also found some beads and stones that they could put on the wires. Lily wanted to make a heart, but it was hard. Her heart looked lumpy and crooked. + +"Daddy, how can I improve my heart?" Lily asked. + +Daddy smiled and hugged her. "You are doing great, Lily. To improve your heart, you need to practice and be patient. Try to make the curves smoother and the ends tighter. Do you want me to help you?" + +"Yes, please, daddy. I want to make mommy happy." Lily said. + +Daddy took a pair of pliers and helped Lily fix her heart. He showed her how to twist and turn the wires gently. Soon, Lily's heart looked much better. It was still a little chubby, but that made it more cute. + +"Wow, Lily, you did it! Your heart is beautiful. Mommy will love it." Daddy said. + +"Thank you, daddy. You are the best." Lily said. + +They finished the necklace and put it in a box. They wrapped it with a ribbon and wrote a card. They waited for mommy to come home and gave her the surprise. Mommy was so happy and proud. She hugged and kissed Lily and daddy and put on the necklace. + +"Thank you, my loves. This is the most precious gift I ever got. You are so creative and thoughtful. I love your copper heart, Lily. It matches your sweet and chubby cheeks." Mommy said. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But sometimes they fight over the toys and books. Then they make each other grumpy. + +One day, Ben and Mia are playing with their blocks. Ben wants to build a tower. Mia wants to build a house. They do not share the blocks. They pull and push the blocks. They say mean words. They make loud noises. + +Mom hears the noises. She comes to their room. She is not happy. She says, "Ben and Mia, why are you fighting? You need to share and be nice. Or you will have no blocks and no books. You will have a time out." + +Ben and Mia do not want a time out. They do not want to lose their blocks and books. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Mia." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. Now, can you play quietly and nicely? I have to do some work. I will come back soon." + +Ben and Mia nod. They hug Mom. They hug each other. They whisper, "I love you, Ben. I love you, Mia." + +They decide to build a castle together. They use all the blocks. They have fun. They use their muscles to lift the blocks. They use their brains to make the castle. They use their hearts to be kind. + +Mom comes back. She sees the castle. She is proud. She says, "Wow, Ben and Mia, what a beautiful castle! You did a great job. You are good twins. You are good friends." + +Ben and Mia smile. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We are happy. We are sorry we were grumpy. We love you, Mom." + +They hug Mom. They hug their castle. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play together in their room. They have many toys and books and games. Lily likes to open the boxes and see what is inside. Ben likes to open the books and look at the pictures. + +One day, Lily finds a big box under the bed. She wants to open it and see what is inside. She pulls the box out and tries to lift the lid. But the lid is too heavy and stuck. She asks Ben for help. + +"Ben, can you help me open this box?" she says. + +Ben comes over and looks at the box. He sees a label on the side. It says "Fragile. Handle with care." + +"What does that mean?" Lily asks. + +"It means the box has something that can break easily. We have to be gentle with it," Ben says. + +He puts his hands on the lid and pushes gently. The lid moves a little bit. He pushes again and the lid opens. Lily and Ben look inside. They see a beautiful glass vase with flowers painted on it. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily says. + +"It's a gift for Mommy. Daddy told me. He said we can't touch it or it will break. We have to put it back in the box and close the lid," Ben says. + +Lily nods. She understands. She does not want to break the vase or make Mommy sad. She helps Ben put the vase back in the box and close the lid. They slide the box under the bed. + +"Thank you for helping me, Ben. You are a good brother," Lily says. + +"You are welcome, Lily. You are a good sister. And you are gentle, too," Ben says. + +They hug each other and smile. Then they go back to playing with their toys and books and games. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with cars and trains. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a zip on it. They opened the zip and saw a lot of old clothes and toys. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tim said. He pulled out a red hat and a blue scarf. "I can be a fireman!" + +"And I can be a pilot!" Sam said. He found a pair of goggles and a toy plane. They put on the clothes and toys and pretended to be heroes. + +They had a lot of fun, but then they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked outside and saw dark clouds and rain. They were scared of thunder and lightning. They ran back to the box and zipped it up. + +"Mommy, mommy, where are you?" Tim cried. He hugged Sam and shivered. + +"Don't worry, Tim, I'm here," Sam said. He tried to comfort Tim and be brave. "Mommy will come soon. She loves us." + +They waited and waited, but mommy did not come. The thunder and rain got louder and louder. They felt alone and sad. They wished they were in their warm beds with their teddy bears. + +Then, they heard a voice. It was mommy. She had been in the kitchen, making cookies. She smelled the rain and heard the thunder. She remembered the boys and went to look for them. + +"Tim, Sam, where are you?" she called. She searched the garage and saw the box. She opened the zip and saw the boys. They were wet and cold and scared. + +"Oh, my poor babies, I'm so sorry!" she said. She hugged them and kissed them. "I didn't know you were here. Come on, let's go inside. I have cookies and milk for you." + +She took them inside and dried them off. She gave them cookies and milk and read them a story. They felt warm and happy and safe. They thanked mommy and said they loved her. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that thunder and rain are not so bad, if you have someone to comfort you. They also learned that mommy is always there for them, even if she seems distant sometimes. They decided to play with the box again, but only when it was sunny and bright. +Lila and Ben are playing dress-up in their room. Lila wants to be a princess and Ben wants to be a knight. Lila finds a pretty veil in their mom's closet and puts it on her head. She feels like a real princess. + +"Look, Ben, I have a veil!" Lila says. "Do you like it?" + +Ben looks at Lila and nods. He thinks she looks nice. He picks up a toy sword and a shield from their toy box and puts them on. He feels like a brave knight. + +"Can I have a veil too?" Ben asks. "I want to be a prince." + +Lila shakes her head. "No, Ben, only princesses wear veils. You have a sword and a shield. That's what princes have." + +Ben feels sad. He likes the veil. He thinks it is soft and shiny. He wants to try it on. + +"Please, Lila, can I have a turn?" Ben requests. "Just for a little bit. I won't break it." + +Lila thinks for a moment. She likes the veil too. She doesn't want to share it. But she also loves her brother. She doesn't want him to be sad. + +"Okay, Ben, you can have a turn. But be careful. It is mom's veil. She will be mad if we ruin it." Lila says. + +She takes off the veil and gives it to Ben. Ben puts it on his head and smiles. He feels like a prince. + +"Thank you, Lila. You are a nice sister." Ben says. + +Lila smiles back. She feels happy. She hugs Ben and says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a nice brother." + +They play together with the veil, the sword and the shield. They pretend to be a princess and a prince. They have fun. The veil fits both of them. +Tim and Jen were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make different dishes with the pots and pans. One day, they found a big onion in the fridge and decided to use it for their soup. + +"Let's cut the onion and put it in the pot," Tim said. He took a knife and tried to slice the onion, but it was too hard and slippery. He pushed harder and harder, but the knife did not move. + +"Be careful, Tim! You might hurt yourself!" Jen said. She watched her brother struggle with the onion and felt sorry for him. She had an idea. "Why don't we increase the onion? Maybe it will be easier to cut then." + +"How do we increase the onion?" Tim asked. He was curious and tired of the onion. + +"We can put it in the microwave. The microwave makes things bigger and hotter, right?" Jen said. She took the onion from Tim and put it in the microwave. She pressed some buttons and turned it on. + +The onion started to spin and sizzle in the microwave. Tim and Jen watched with excitement. They hoped the onion would grow and become soft and yummy. But they did not know that onions do not like microwaves. They do not like them at all. + +The onion began to smell bad and make noises. It started to crack and pop and squirt juice. Tim and Jen heard a loud bang and saw smoke and fire. The onion had exploded in the microwave and made a big mess. + +"Uh-oh," Tim and Jen said. They ran out of the kitchen and looked for their mom. They were scared and sorry. They knew they had done something stupid. + +"Mom! Mom! We need help!" they shouted. "We tried to increase the onion and it went boom!" + +Their mom heard their cries and came to the kitchen. She saw the broken microwave and the onion bits everywhere. She was angry and worried. She hugged her twins and scolded them. + +"What were you thinking? You could have hurt yourselves or started a fire! You should never play with knives or microwaves! You should never increase onions! They are not toys! They are food!" she said. + +Tim and Jen felt ashamed and sad. They apologized to their mom and promised to never do it again. They helped her clean the kitchen and threw away the onion. They learned their lesson. They learned that onions are not fun. They learned that increasing onions is stupid. +Lily was miserable. She wanted to play with her dog, Max, but it was raining outside. She looked out the window and saw the wet grass and the gray sky. She sighed and hugged her teddy bear. + +She heard a bark from the kitchen. She ran to see what Max was doing. He was jumping and wagging his tail. He had found a ball under the table. He wanted to play fetch with Lily. He dropped the ball at her feet and looked at her with his big brown eyes. + +Lily smiled. She picked up the ball and threw it across the room. Max ran after it and brought it back to her. They played fetch for a long time. Lily forgot about the rain and the cold. She was happy and so was Max. + +They heard a knock on the door. It was Lily's mom. She had come back from work. She saw Lily and Max playing and laughed. She hugged them both and said, "You two look like you had a lot of fun. How about we make some hot chocolate and cookies?" + +Lily nodded. She ran to the door with Max. She was not miserable anymore. She had her dog and her mom. She had everything she needed. +Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys in the yard. One day, they saw a big truck stop near their house. The truck had many boxes on it. The truck driver got out and opened the door of the truck. + +"Hello, boys," he said. "Do you want to help me unload these boxes? They are for the store across the street. They have books and games and puzzles inside." + +Ben and Sam nodded. They loved books and games and puzzles. They ran to the truck and grabbed a box each. They followed the truck driver to the store. He gave them a smile and a thank you. + +"You are very useful," he said. "You can come back anytime and help me again." + +Ben and Sam felt happy. They went back to the truck and got another box each. They wanted to help more. They did not see the smoke coming out of the truck. They did not hear the beep beep beep of the alarm. They did not know that something was wrong. + +The truck driver saw the smoke. He dropped his box and ran to the truck. He tried to open the door, but it was locked. He banged on the window, but no one answered. He shouted for help, but no one heard. + +"Boys, boys, get away from the truck!" he yelled. "It's going to blow up!" + +Ben and Sam heard him. They looked at the truck. They saw the smoke. They saw the fire. They felt scared. They dropped their boxes and ran away. They ran to their house. They ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, the truck is on fire!" they cried. "It's going to blow up!" + +Mom hugged them. She looked out the window. She saw the truck. She saw the fire. She saw the smoke. She heard the boom. She felt worried. + +"Are you okay?" she asked. "Did you get hurt?" + +Ben and Sam shook their heads. They were okay. They did not get hurt. They were lucky. + +Mom kissed them. She was glad. She was proud. + +"You are very brave," she said. "You helped the truck driver. You ran away from the danger. You are very useful." +Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But their favorite thing was to rock on the big horse. The horse was made of wood and had a red suit and a blue mane. It was very old and sometimes made funny noises. + +"Can I rock on the horse first?" Sam asked Mia. + +"OK, but only for a little bit. Then it's my turn," Mia said. She was thoughtful and liked to share. + +Sam climbed on the horse and held the reins. He rocked back and forth, pretending he was a cowboy. He made a loud "yee-haw" sound and smiled. The horse creaked and groaned, but Sam did not mind. + +"Sam, time's up. Let me rock on the horse now," Mia said. + +"OK, OK. Here you go," Sam said. He got off the horse and helped Mia get on. He was thoughtful and liked to help. + +Mia rocked on the horse and held the reins. She rocked back and forth, pretending she was a princess. She made a soft "neigh" sound and giggled. The horse creaked and groaned, but Mia did not mind. + +Sam and Mia rocked on the horse until it was time to go home. They thanked the horse and gave it a hug. They were thoughtful and liked to be kind. They waved goodbye to the park and walked hand in hand with their mom. They had a lot of fun. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog with a red collar. The dog looked friendly, but it had a sign that said "Do not touch". Ben wanted to pet the dog, but Lily was afraid. + +"Ben, do not go near the dog," Lily warned. "The sign says no. The dog might bite you." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He thought he knew better. He walked towards the dog and reached out his hand. The dog growled and showed its teeth. Ben was scared and ran back to Lily. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked. "That was a bad idea. You should have listened to me." + +Ben nodded. He was sorry he did not obey Lily. He learned his lesson. He hugged Lily and said, "You were right, Lily. I was wrong. I will listen to you next time." + +They went home and told their mom what happened. Mom was glad they were safe, but she was also angry with Ben. She showed him a photo of a boy with a bandage on his arm. The boy had tried to pet the same dog and got bitten. + +"See, Ben, this is what could have happened to you," Mom said. "You were lucky the dog did not hurt you. You need to be more obedient and follow the rules. They are there to protect you." + +Ben felt ashamed. He said sorry to Mom and promised to be more obedient. He also thanked Lily for warning him. He realized that Lily was a good sister who cared for him. He decided to be a good brother who respected her. They hugged and smiled. They learned to be more careful and kind. +Anna liked to play with her doll, Lucy. Lucy had a velvet dress and long hair. Anna thought Lucy was very attractive. She liked to brush Lucy's hair and make her dance. + +One day, Anna and Lucy went to the park with Mommy. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a wagging tail. The dog ran towards them and barked. Anna was scared. She hugged Lucy and cried. + +"Hello, don't be afraid," said a boy who came after the dog. "This is Max. He is friendly. He just wants to say hi." + +The boy held Max's leash and made him sit. He smiled at Anna and said, "I'm Ben. What's your name?" + +"I'm Anna. This is Lucy," Anna said, holding up her doll. + +"Lucy is pretty. Can I see her?" Ben asked. + +Anna nodded and gave Lucy to Ben. Ben looked at Lucy's velvet dress and touched her hair. He said, "She is soft and shiny. Can I make her shake?" + +Anna said, "Yes, but be gentle. She is fragile." + +Ben nodded and moved Lucy's arms and legs. He made her shake like she was dancing. He said, "Look, Lucy is happy. She likes to shake." + +Anna laughed and said, "Yes, she does. She likes to play with you and Max." + +Ben smiled and said, "Do you want to play with us too? We can go on the swings and the slide." + +Anna said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun." + +Mommy said, "Okay, but stay close and be careful." + +Anna, Ben, Lucy, and Max went to play together. They had a good time. They made new friends. They were happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they visit the zoo with their moms. They see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, elephants and more. + +They stop at the penguin house. They see black and white birds. They have wings, but they do not fly. They swim in the water. They make funny noises. Lily and Tom think they are cute. + +"Look, mom, look!" Lily says. "The penguins are kissing!" + +She points at two penguins that touch their beaks. They look like they are happy. + +"They are not kissing, Lily," Tom says. "They are talking. They use their mouths to talk, like we do." + +He makes a sound like a penguin. He opens and closes his mouth. He thinks he is funny. + +Lily laughs. She tries to make the same sound. She opens and closes her mouth. She thinks she is funny too. + +Their moms smile. They take pictures of Lily and Tom. They think they are cute too. They are happy to visit the zoo. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They saw a big sack on the sofa. It was full of toys and books. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Can we open the sack, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. That's for later. It's a surprise," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They were curious. They waited until Mom went to the kitchen. Then they tiptoed to the sofa and peeked inside the sack. + +They saw a lot of things. They saw a teddy bear, a ball, a puzzle, a coloring book, and a calendar. The calendar had pictures of animals and numbers. It was weird. + +"What is this?" Ben asked, holding the calendar. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's a game," Anna said. + +They tried to flip the pages, but they were stuck together. They pulled harder, but the calendar ripped. + +"Oh no! We broke it!" Anna cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came back to the living room. She saw the torn calendar and the open sack. + +"What did you do?" Mom asked, looking angry. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We just wanted to see the surprise," Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She picked up the calendar and the sack. + +"This was not a surprise for you. This was a surprise for Grandma. It's her birthday tomorrow. The calendar was a special gift. It had photos of you and your cousins. Now it's ruined," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben felt bad. They did not know it was for Grandma. They loved Grandma. They wanted to make her happy. + +"We're sorry, Mom. Can we fix it?" Anna asked. + +Mom shook her head. + +"No, honey. It's too late. You should have waited and asked me first. Now we have to find another gift for Grandma. And you have to say sorry to her too," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry. They hoped Grandma would forgive them. They wondered what they could give her instead. Maybe a drawing or a hug. Or both. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun making noises and stories with their toys. + +Lily sees a big box on the table. It has a label that says "For Mom and Dad". She is curious about what is inside the box. She asks Ben, "What is in the box?" + +Ben shrugs his shoulders. He does not know. He says, "Maybe it is a gift. Maybe it is a surprise. We should not touch it. Mom and Dad will be mad." + +Lily nods. She knows that they should not touch the box. But she still wants to know what is in the box. She says, "Maybe we can peek. Just a little bit. We will not open it. We will not take it. We will just look." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to peek. He says, "No, no, no. That is bad. That is wrong. We should wait. Mom and Dad will tell us. They will show us. We should play with our toys." + +Lily sighs. She does not want to wait. She wants to peek. She says, "Please, please, please. Just one peek. It will be fun. It will be exciting. We will not tell anyone. We will not get in trouble." + +Ben looks at Lily. He sees that she is very eager. He feels a little bit curious too. He says, "Okay, okay, okay. Just one peek. But be careful. Be quiet. Be quick." + +Lily and Ben tiptoe to the table. They lift the lid of the box a little bit. They see something shiny and light. It looks like a star. It looks like a magic. They gasp. They smile. They wonder. + +Then they hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "What are you doing, kids? What are you looking at?" + +Lily and Ben drop the lid. They turn around. They see Mom and Dad standing at the door. They look angry. They look sad. They look disappointed. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They feel guilty. They feel scared. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We were just curious. We just wanted to see what is in the box." + +Mom and Dad walk to the table. They open the box. They take out the shiny and light thing. It is a lamp. It is a special lamp. It is a lamp that changes colors. It is a lamp that plays music. It is a lamp that they bought for Lily and Ben. + +Mom and Dad say, "This is your gift, kids. This is your surprise. We wanted to give it to you tonight. We wanted to make you happy. We wanted to see you smile. But you spoiled it. You peeked. You disobeyed. You lied." + +Lily and Ben cry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We are sorry, sorry, sorry. We love you. We love the lamp. We will not peek again. We will not disobey again. We will not lie again." + +Mom and Dad hug Lily and Ben. They say, "We love you too, kids. We forgive you. But you have to learn. You have to listen. You have to trust. You have to be patient. You have to be good." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "We will, Mom and Dad. We will, we will, we will." + +Mom and Dad plug in the lamp. They turn it on. The lamp changes colors. The lamp plays music. The lamp makes the room bright and happy. Lily and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. Thank you, thank you, thank you." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But today, Mom says they have to leave soon. They have to go to Grandma's house for dinner. + +"Can we take our toys with us?" Lily asks. + +"No, sweetie, you have to leave them here. You can play with them when we come back," Mom says. + +"But I want to play with my doll. She is my best friend," Lily says. + +"And I want to play with my truck. It is very fast and strong," Ben says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. "I know you love your toys, but Grandma has some toys for you too. And she has a surprise for you. Do you want to know what it is?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They are curious. + +"Grandma has made a cake for you. A chocolate cake. It is very yummy. You will love the taste," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben's eyes light up. They love chocolate cake. It is their favorite. + +"Okay, Mom, we will leave our toys here. But can we have a piece of cake when we get there?" Lily asks. + +"Of course, my darlings. But you have to eat your dinner first. And you have to be polite and say thank you to Grandma," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben agree. They put their toys away and get ready to go. They are excited to see Grandma and to taste the cake. + +They get in the car and Mom drives them to Grandma's house. They sing songs and play games on the way. They have fun. + +When they arrive, Grandma is waiting for them. She gives them a big hug and a kiss. She takes them to the kitchen, where the cake is on the table. It smells good. + +"Wow, Grandma, you made a cake for us! Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Ben say. + +"You're welcome, my dears. But you have to wait a little bit. The cake is still hot. Let's have dinner first, and then you can have a slice," Grandma says. + +Lily and Ben are hungry. They sit down and eat their dinner. Grandma has made soup, chicken, and salad. They like the food. They say please and thank you. + +After dinner, Grandma cuts the cake and gives them a slice each. They take a bite and smile. The cake is moist and rich. They love the taste. + +"Mmm, this is the best cake ever, Grandma. You are the best," Lily and Ben say. + +"Thank you, my loves. I'm glad you like it. You can have another slice if you want," Grandma says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They have another slice. They are happy. + +But soon, they start to feel sleepy. The cake has made them tired. They yawn and rub their eyes. + +"Are you sleepy, my darlings? Do you want to go to bed?" Grandma asks. + +Lily and Ben nod. They are sleepy. They want to go to bed. + +"Okay, let's go to the guest room. I have prepared a cozy bed for you. You can sleep there until Mom comes to pick you up," Grandma says. + +She takes them to the guest room. She tucks them in and kisses them goodnight. She turns off the light and leaves the door open. + +"Goodnight, Grandma. We love you," Lily and Ben say. + +"Goodnight, my sweeties. I love you too," Grandma says. + +Lily and Ben close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of chocolate cake and toys. They are happy. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. But they do not like to share. One day, Mom makes a pie for dessert. It smells good and looks yummy. + +Mom says, "Boys, come and eat. I have a pie for you." Tim and Sam run to the table. They see the pie. They both want the big piece. They start to fight. + +"I want the big piece!" Tim says. + +"No, I want the big piece!" Sam says. + +They pull and push. They yell and cry. They are very loud. Mom is not happy. She says, "Stop it, boys. You are being rude and greedy. You have to share the pie. Or you will get no pie at all." + +Tim and Sam look at Mom. They look at the pie. They do not want to lose the pie. They say, "Sorry, Mom. We will share the pie." + +Mom smiles. She cuts the pie.

They see the finish line. It is a big sign with a star. + +Lily's car is a little bit faster than Ben's car. It reaches the sign first. Lily jumps and claps. She says "I win! I win!" Ben is sad. He wanted to win too. + +But then he sees something funny. Lily's car has a sticker on it. It says "joke". Ben laughs. He says "You tricked me! You used a joke car!" Lily laughs too. She says "Yes, I did! It is a cool car. It can go very fast and make jokes. Do you want to try it?" + +Ben nods. He says "Yes, please. That sounds fun. Can we race again?" Lily says "Sure. Let's race again. But this time, let's use different cars. Maybe we can find more joke cars. Or cars that can fly. Or cars that can sing. Anything can happen in our play." + +They swap cars and race again. They have more fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park.

Lily said. + +"Wow, it is big!" Sam said. "What is it?" + +"I don't know. Maybe a giraffe bird?" Lily said. + +They laughed. They wanted to get closer to the bird. They walked slowly and quietly. They did not want to scare the bird. + +But then, Sam tripped on a rock. He fell and hurt his knee. He cried. The bird flew away. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam said. "My knee is bleeding!" + +Lily ran to him. She saw his knee. It had a cut. She felt sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Sam?" Lily said. + +"No, it hurts!" Sam said. + +Lily hugged him. She tried to make him feel better. + +"Don't cry, Sam. It will be okay. Your knee is delicate. You need to be careful. Let me get a band-aid for you." Lily said. + +She ran to their mom. She told her what happened.

She held Lily's hand and walked to the stair. + +But when she got to the stair, she saw something scary. A big, black dog was sitting on the stair. It had sharp teeth and growled at Anna.

They wanted to go inside and pretend to be sailors. + +"Can we play with the boat?" Tom asked Lily. + +"Yes, let's go!" Lily said. They ran to the boat and climbed in. They saw a steering wheel, a horn, and some ropes. They had so much fun making noises and moving the wheel. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. It was the owner of the boat. He was angry. He saw Tom and Lily in his boat and shouted at them. + +"Hey, you kids! Get out of my boat! You are not allowed to touch it! It is mine!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They jumped out of the boat and ran away. They did not say sorry to the owner. They did not know they did something wrong. + +They ran to their homes and hid in their rooms. They felt bad. They knew they should not have played with the boat without asking. They wished they could say sorry to the owner. + +The next day, they saw the owner again. He was walking his dog near the lake. His dog was big and brown. He looked loyal and friendly. He wagged his tail when he saw Tom and Lily. + +Tom and Lily felt brave. They decided to go to the owner and apologize. They walked to him and said: + +"Hello, sir. We are sorry we played with your boat yesterday. We did not mean to hurt it. We just wanted to have fun. We will not do it again." + +The owner looked at them. He was surprised. He did not expect them to say sorry. He smiled and said: + +"Thank you for being honest and brave. I appreciate your apology. I was too harsh yesterday. I love my boat, but I should not have yelled at you. You can play with it sometimes, if you ask me first." + +Tom and Lily were happy. They thanked the owner and asked if they could pet his dog. He said yes. They petted his dog and made him laugh. They became friends with the owner and his dog. They learned to respect other people's things and to say sorry when they make a mistake. They also learned that being loyal and friendly can make others happy. +Tom and Anna like to make cream. They take a big jar and fill it with milk. Then they close the jar and shake it hard. They shake and shake and shake until the milk becomes thick and white.

"It is mine!" + +He grabs the jar from Tom and Anna. He is very rude. He does not care that they are making cream for their mom. He opens the jar and drinks the milk.

Tom and Anna are sad and scared. They run to their mom and tell her what happened. + +Mom is not happy. She scolds Ben for being rude and wasteful.

They had a big box of toys and a shovel. Sara liked to bury the toys in the dirt and then dig them up again. Ben liked to make things with the tape and the toys. He made a car, a plane, and a robot. + +"Look at my robot!" Ben said. "It has tape arms and legs and eyes. It can talk and walk and dance." + +Sara looked at the robot. She was envious. She wanted a robot too. She thought Ben's robot was better than her toys. She had an idea. + +"Can I see your robot?" Sara asked. "I want to play with it." + +"Okay, but be careful," Ben said. He gave Sara the robot. Sara smiled. She took the robot and ran to the other side of the yard. She dug a big hole and buried the robot in the dirt. She covered it with more dirt and grass. She thought Ben would not find it. + +"Hey, where is my robot?" Ben asked. He looked around. He saw Sara standing near a pile of dirt. He ran to her. + +"Sara, did you bury my robot?" Ben asked.

"I was envious of your robot. I wanted one too. But that was not nice. I should not have buried your robot. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben sighed. He was still angry and sad, but he loved his sister. He knew she was sorry. + +"Okay, Sara, I forgive you," Ben said. "But you have to help me dig up my robot. Maybe it is still okay. Maybe we can fix it. Maybe we can share it." + +Sara agreed. She took the shovel and helped Ben dig up the robot. They found it in the dirt. It was dirty and broken. The tape arms and legs and eyes were torn and twisted. It could not talk or walk or dance. + +"Oh no, my robot!" Ben cried. He hugged the robot. He was very sad. + +Sara felt worse. She hugged Ben. She was very sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry," Sara repeated. "I ruined your robot. It was a great robot. You are very clever. Can I help you make a new one?" + +Ben looked at Sara. He saw she was sincere. He wiped his tears. He smiled a little. + +"Okay, Sara, you can help me make a new one," Ben said. "But this time, we will not bury it. We will play with it together. And we will use more tape. Tape is good." + +Sara smiled too. She was happy. She hugged Ben again. She was glad he was her brother. + +They took the box of toys and the tape and went to the porch.

They are having fun making noises and pretending to drive and talk. + +"Look, Lily, I can put my truck on the sofa!" Tom says, lifting his truck and placing it on the cushion. "Vroom, vroom, it can go very fast!" + +"That's silly, Tom, trucks don't go on sofas!" Lily says, shaking her head. "They go on roads and dirt. My doll can sit on the sofa, see?" She puts her doll next to Tom's truck and makes her wave. + +"Hi, truck, I'm doll. Do you want to be friends?" Lily says in a high voice. + +"Hi, doll, I'm truck. Sure, I want to be friends. But you are very smelly!" Tom says in a low voice, making his truck sniff Lily's doll. + +"Smelly? No, I'm not smelly! You are smelly, truck!" Lily says, feeling hurt. "You have mud and oil and dust on you. You need a bath!" + +"No, I don't need a bath! I like being smelly. It makes me strong and cool!" Tom says, making his truck rev its engine. + +"Fine, then I don't want to be friends with you. You are a mean and smelly truck!" Lily says, grabbing her doll and moving away from Tom. + +Tom feels sad and angry. He doesn't want to lose his friend, but he doesn't want to take a bath either. He thinks of a way to make Lily happy and still keep his truck smelly. He remembers that Lily likes to spell words with her alphabet blocks. He has an idea. + +"Lily, Lily, look what I can do!" Tom says, taking some blocks and putting them on the floor. He spells the word "sorry" with the blocks and points to them. "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily looks at the blocks and smiles. She is impressed that Tom can spell such a big word. She forgives him and puts her doll next to his truck again. + +"Thank you, Tom.

Go to your room." + +Anna was sad and mad. She did not understand why Daddy was angry. She wanted to play with the copper. She thought Daddy was spoiled. He had many tools and he did not share. She went to her room and cried. + +Daddy felt sorry for Anna. He knew she was curious and creative. He also knew she was too young to play with his tools.

Anna asked. + +Daddy smiled. He was happy that Anna wanted to learn. He said, "Yes, I can. But only when I'm with you. And only with the tools that are safe for you. How about we make a bracelet together? We can use some copper and some beads and some string. What do you think?" + +Anna smiled too. She was happy that Daddy wanted to play with her. She said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun. Thank you, Daddy." + +Daddy and Anna went to the garage and made a bracelet together. They used the copper and the beads and the string.

They also liked to splash in the water and watch the waves. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big shell!" Ben said, holding up his treasure. "It is pink and shiny and has stripes. Do you want to see?" + +Lily did not answer. She was busy making a sandcastle. She had a bucket and a spade and some sticks and leaves. She wanted to make the best sandcastle ever. She did not need Ben's help. She was independent. + +"Come on, Lily, look at my shell!" Ben said again, walking over to her. "It is so pretty and it makes a sound when you put it to your ear. Listen!" + +He put the shell to Lily's ear, but she pushed him away. She did not want to listen. She wanted to finish her sandcastle. She was angry at Ben for bothering her. + +"Go away, Ben!" she shouted. "You are ruining my sandcastle! I don't want to see your shell! I don't want to play with you!" + +Ben was hurt and confused. He did not understand why Lily was so mean to him. He liked to share his things with her. He liked to play with her. He thought they were friends. + +He ran away, crying, with his shell in his hand. He felt lonely and sad. He wished Lily would answer him and be nice to him. He wished they could have fun on the shore. +Tom and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big crab with red claws and black eyes. It was hiding under a rock. + +"Look, a crab!" Tom said. He wanted to touch it. + +"Be careful, Tom. The crab can pinch you with its claws. It does not like to be bothered," Mom warned. + +Lily was more patient. She waited for the crab to come out of the rock. She talked to it softly. "Hello, crab. You are very pretty. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The crab heard Lily's voice. It was curious. It peeked out of the rock and saw Lily's smile. It did not feel scared. It crawled out of the rock and waved its claws at Lily. + +"Hi, crab. You are very brave. Can I hold you?" Lily asked. + +The crab nodded. It let Lily pick it up gently. It did not pinch her. It liked Lily's warm hand. + +Tom was surprised. He wanted to hold the crab too. He asked Lily to share. + +"Okay, Tom. But you have to be gentle and kind. The crab is not a toy. It is a living thing," Lily said. + +Tom nodded. He took the crab from Lily and held it carefully.

They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and rocks. Sometimes they found shiny things or funny things in the sand. + +One day, they saw a big, round shell that was closed. Ben picked it up and shook it. He heard something inside. "What is this?" he asked Lila. + +Lila looked at the shell and said, "I think it is an oyster. Mom and dad told us about oysters. They live in the water and have pearls inside." + +Ben's eyes widened. "Pearls? Like the necklace mom has?" + +Lila nodded. "Yes, like that. But not all oysters have pearls. Only some. Maybe this one has a pearl. Do you want to open it and see?" + +Ben was curious, but he was also scared. He did not know how to open the oyster. He did not want to hurt it or himself. He said, "I don't know. Maybe we should ask mom and dad first." + +Lila agreed. She said, "That is a good idea. Let's go and show them the oyster. Maybe they can help us open it. Maybe we are lucky and find a pearl." + +They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a blanket. They showed them the oyster and told them what they thought. Mom and dad smiled and said, "Wow, that is a nice oyster. You are very smart to know what it is. And you are very kind to want to ask us before opening it." + +They took the oyster and a knife and carefully opened it. Inside, they saw a shiny, white pearl. Lila and Ben gasped. They could not believe it. They had found a pearl! + +Mom and dad said, "You are very lucky, Lila and Ben. This is a rare and beautiful pearl. You can keep it as a souvenir of this day. Or you can suggest what to do with it. It is your pearl." + +Lila and Ben looked at each other and smiled. They had an idea. They said, "We want to give the pearl to mom. She can make a necklace with it. Then she can have two pearl necklaces. One from dad and one from us." + +Mom hugged them and said, "Thank you, Lila and Ben. That is a very sweet and generous suggestion. I love the pearl and I love you. You are the best gifts I ever had." +Lily and Max were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to draw with crayons the most. They had a big box of crayons with many colors. Lily liked to draw flowers and butterflies.

She hid it under her pillow and waited for Max to come. + +"Max, do you want to play with me?" she asked. + +"Sure, what do you want to play?" Max said. + +"Let's draw with crayons. I have something special to show you," Lily said. + +They sat on the floor and took out their crayons. Lily drew a flower with a yellow crayon. Max drew a car with a blue crayon. + +"Look, I made a flower. Do you like it?" Lily said. + +"It's nice, but I like cars better. Look, I made a car. Do you like it?" Max said. + +"It's cool, but I have something cooler. Do you want to see it?" Lily said. + +"Yes, what is it?" Max said. + +Lily smiled and reached under her pillow. She pulled out the large crayon and held it up. + +"Ta-da! Look at this crayon. It's so big and colorful. Do you like it?" Lily said. + +Max's eyes widened. He had never seen such a crayon before. He wanted to touch it and try it. + +"Wow, that's amazing. Where did you get it?" Max said. + +"I found it in the closet. It was hiding behind some boxes. I think it's a magic crayon. Do you want to try it?" Lily said. + +"Yes, please. Can I?" Max said. + +"Sure, you can. But be careful. It's very special. Let's see what it can do," Lily said. + +They took turns using the large crayon. They drew rainbows and stars and hearts and animals. The crayon changed colors as they moved it. It made their drawings look bright and beautiful. They had so much fun with the crayon. They felt like they had a secret treasure. + +They did not know that their mom was watching them from the door. She smiled and was happy to see them playing together. She knew where the crayon came from. It was a gift from their grandma, who loved to draw with them. She had sent it to them for their birthday, but it had arrived late. She had put it in the closet and wanted to reveal it to them later. But she was glad that Lily had found it and shared it with Max. She thought they would love the crayon even more when they learned who it was from. She decided to wait until they finished their drawings and then tell them the story of the crayon. She knew they would be surprised and happy. She was proud of her children and their creativity. She loved them very much. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tim says. + +"OK!" Jen says. + +They run to the slide. But there is a line of kids. They have to wait. Tim and Jen are not patient. They do not like to wait. + +"Let's jump the line!" Tim says. + +"No, that is not nice!" Jen says. + +But Tim does not listen. He jumps the line. He pushes a kid. The kid falls. The kid cries. The other kids are angry. They yell at Tim. + +"Hey, you are crazy! Go away!" they say. + +Tim is scared. He runs away. He does not see the slide. He bumps into the slide. He falls. He hurts his head. He cries. + +Jen is sad. She does not want to play with Tim. She helps the kid who fell. She says sorry. She is nice. + +The end. +Timmy loves spaghetti. He likes to eat it with cheese and sauce. He waits for Mommy to make it for dinner. He is very hungry. + +Mommy puts a big pot of water on the stove. She says, "Timmy, can you help me with the spaghetti?" Timmy nods and smiles. He likes to help Mommy. + +Mommy gives Timmy a box of spaghetti. She says, "Timmy, can you break the spaghetti in half and put it in the pot?" Timmy says, "Yes, Mommy." He tries to break the spaghetti, but it is hard. He pulls and twists, but the spaghetti does not break. He gets frustrated. + +He says, "Mommy, I can't break the spaghetti!" Mommy says, "It's okay, Timmy. You can try again. Use both hands and bend it." Timmy does what Mommy says, but the spaghetti still does not break. He gets more frustrated. + +He says, "Mommy, it's too hard!" He throws the spaghetti on the floor. It makes a big mess. Mommy says, "Timmy, that's not nice. You have to clean it up." Timmy says, "No, Mommy. I don't want to." He starts to cry. + +Mommy sighs. She says, "Timmy, I know you are frustrated, but you have to calm down. Throwing spaghetti is not the way to solve your problem. You have to apologize and help me clean up. Then we can have dinner together." Timmy says, "Sorry, Mommy. I will help you." He wipes his tears and picks up the spaghetti. Mommy hugs him and says, "Thank you, Timmy. I love you." Timmy says, "I love you too, Mommy." They finish making the spaghetti and eat it with cheese and sauce. Timmy thinks it is delicious. He is happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with pots and pans. They also liked to wash the dishes in the sink. They filled the sink with water and bubbles and used a sponge to scrub the plates and cups. + +"Look, Ben, I made a cake!" Lily said, holding up a pan with some dough and sprinkles. "Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Ben said, smiling. He took a pretend bite and made a yummy sound. "This is very good, Lily. You are a great chef!" + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a great chef, too. And a great helper. You washed all the dishes very well." Lily said, giving him a hug. + +They heard a knock on the door. It was their mom, coming home from work. She looked tired and happy to see them. + +"Hello, my sweeties! What have you been doing?" she asked, kissing them on the cheek. + +"We were playing chefs, Mommy. We made food and washed the dishes." Lily said, showing her the pan. + +"That's wonderful, Lily. And Ben, you helped, too?" Mommy asked, looking at the sink. + +"Yes, Mommy. I used the sponge and the bubbles." Ben said, nodding. + +"You are both very good and very clever. I'm so proud of you." Mommy said, hugging them. "But now it's time to rest. You must be tired after all that work." + +"Can we rest with you, Mommy?" Lily asked, holding her hand. + +"Of course, my loves. Come on, let's go to the couch. We can snuggle and read a book." Mommy said, leading them to the living room. + +They settled on the couch, with Mommy in the middle. She wrapped them in a blanket and opened a book. She read them a gentle story, with soft words and pictures. Lily and Ben listened, feeling cozy and happy. They closed their eyes and rested, with Mommy's voice in their ears. +Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and had a big ship. They used the table as their ship and put a blanket over it. They had a map and a treasure chest and a sword. + +"Arrr, matey, we have to find the island with the gold!" Max said, holding the map. + +"Arrr, aye, captain, let's sail the seas!" Lily said, waving the sword. + +They crawled under the table and made noises like waves and wind. They had fun and laughed a lot. + +But then, they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounded like something fell and broke. They stopped playing and looked at each other. + +"What was that?" Lily asked, scared. + +"I don't know, let's go see," Max said, brave. + +They got out of the table and ran to the kitchen. They saw Mom standing by the sink, holding a broom. There were pieces of glass on the floor. One of them was a broken plate. + +"Oh, no, Mom, what happened?" Lily asked, sad. + +"I'm sorry, kids, I was washing the dishes and I dropped one. It broke and made a big mess. I'm glad you're okay, I didn't mean to scare you," Mom said, sorry. + +She hugged them and kissed them. + +"It's okay, Mom, we love you. Can we help you clean up?" Max asked, nice. + +"Thank you, sweeties, you're very kind. But you have to be careful, the glass is sharp. Why don't you go back to your ship and I'll be done soon?" Mom asked, happy. + +"Okay, Mom, we'll go back to our ship. But can we have a snack later?" Lily asked, hungry. + +"Of course, you can have a snack later. You're good pirates, you deserve a treat," Mom said, proud. + +She smiled and watched them go back to the living room. They crawled under the table and continued their adventure. They didn't scream anymore, they whispered. They didn't want to break anything else. They wanted to make Mom happy. +Lily and Ben liked to play pretend. They had a big box that they used as a spaceship. They put on helmets and gloves and made noises like rockets. They pretended to fly to the moon and see stars and aliens. + +One day, they saw a new toy in the store. It was a missile that could make a loud boom and flash. Lily and Ben wanted to have it for their spaceship. They asked their mom, but she said no. She said it was too dangerous and expensive. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. + +They decided to sneak out and buy the missile with their piggy bank money. They ran to the store and gave the money to the man. He gave them the missile and a lighter. He said to be careful and not to play near people or animals. + +Lily and Ben ran back to their box spaceship. They put the missile inside and lit it with the lighter. They waited for the boom and flash. But they did not know that the missile was very powerful. It exploded and made a big hole in the box. It also made a fire and smoke. Lily and Ben were scared and hurt. They cried and shouted for help. + +Their mom heard them and came running. She saw the fire and the smoke and the broken box. She saw Lily and Ben with burns and cuts. She was very worried and angry. She called the firemen and the doctor. They came and put out the fire and took care of Lily and Ben. They said they were lucky to be alive. + +Lily and Ben were sorry for what they did. They said they were sorry to their mom and to each other. They learned that playing pretend was fun, but playing with dangerous things was not. They learned to listen to their mom and to be calm and careful. They hugged their mom and thanked the firemen and the doctor. They promised to never play with missiles again. +Sara liked to play with her mom's makeup. She found a red stick in a shiny case. She opened it and saw a red thing that looked like a crayon. She wanted to make her lips red like her mom's. She took the stick and rubbed it on her lips. She felt the red thing spread on her skin. She smiled and looked for a mirror. + +She saw a big mirror on the wall. She ran to it and looked at herself. She saw her red lips and her brown eyes. She thought she looked pretty. She wanted to see more of herself. She moved closer to the mirror. She saw her nose and her ears. She moved even closer. She saw her eyelashes and her freckles. She moved so close that her nose touched the mirror. She saw her nose make a mark on the glass. She giggled. + +She moved back a little and saw her whole face again. She noticed something. Her lips looked thin. She wanted them to look bigger. She thought of a way. She took the red stick again and rubbed it more on her lips. She rubbed it all over her mouth. She felt the red thing spread more and more. She smiled and looked at the mirror again. + +She saw her mouth and gasped. It was not pretty. It was red and messy. It looked like she ate a lot of berries and spilled them on her face. She did not like it. She wanted to take it off. She rubbed her mouth with her hand. She saw the red thing spread on her hand. She rubbed her hand on her shirt. She saw the red thing spread on her shirt. She started to cry. + +She heard her mom come in. She saw her mom look at her and the mirror and the red stick. She saw her mom's eyes get big and her mouth open. She heard her mom say, "Oh, Sara, what did you do?" She felt her mom hug her and wipe her face with a cloth. She heard her mom say, "It's okay, honey, it's just makeup. We can wash it off. But next time, please ask me before you use it, okay?" She nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. I just wanted to look pretty like you." She heard her mom say, "You are pretty, Sara, with or without makeup. You are my beautiful girl." She smiled and hugged her mom back. She felt happy. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with toys and make noise. One day, they found a big tank in the garage. It was green and had wheels and a gun. + +"Wow, look at this tank!" Tim said. "Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Sam said. "It looks old and dirty. Maybe it is broken." + +"Let's try it," Tim said. He climbed on the tank and sat in the seat. He pushed some buttons and pulled some levers. The tank made a loud sound and started to move. + +"Help, help!" Tim shouted. "I can't stop the tank!" + +Sam ran after the tank. He saw it go out of the garage and into the street. There were cars and people and dogs in the street. The tank was going very fast and very loud. It was terrible. + +"Tim, jump out of the tank!" Sam yelled. "You are in danger!" + +But Tim was too scared to jump. He closed his eyes and hoped the tank would stop. He heard a big crash and felt a bump. He opened his eyes and saw the tank had hit a tree. The tree was broken and the tank was broken too. + +"Tim, are you okay?" Sam asked. He ran to the tank and helped Tim out. Tim was shaking and crying. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Tim said. "I didn't mean to make a mess. I just wanted to play." + +Sam hugged Tim and said, "It's okay, Tim. I'm glad you are not hurt. But we should never play with the tank again. It is too dangerous." + +They went back to the garage and saw Tim's dad. He was angry and sad. He saw the tank and the tree and the street. + +"What have you done?" he asked. "Do you know how much trouble you are in?" + +Tim and Sam looked at each other and said, "We are very sorry, dad. We made a terrible mistake." +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big ball in the sky. It is yellow and bright. It makes the land glow. + +"Wow, look at that!" Sara says. "What is it?" + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is a star. But stars are small and far. This is big and near." + +They run to the ball. It is warm and soft. It is not a star. It is a balloon. It has a basket under it. There is a man in the basket. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, children," he says. "Do you like my balloon?" + +"Yes, we do," Sara and Tom say. "It is so pretty. How does it fly?" + +"It flies with hot air," the man says. "I have a fire in the basket. The fire makes the air hot. The hot air makes the balloon go up." + +"Can we go with you?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, why not?" the man says. "But you have to ask your parents first. And you have to be careful. The fire is hot. The balloon is high. The land is far." + +Sara and Tom run to their parents. They ask them if they can go in the balloon. Their parents say yes. They are happy. They hug their parents. They go to the balloon. The man helps them in the basket. He gives them helmets and jackets. He tells them to hold on tight. + +The fire makes a loud noise. The balloon goes up. Sara and Tom see the land below them. It is green and brown and blue. It is clean and beautiful. They see their house, their school, their park. They see other houses, other schools, other parks. They see cars, buses, bikes. They see people, dogs, cats. They see birds, clouds, rainbows. + +They feel the wind in their hair. They feel the sun on their face. They feel the joy in their heart. They laugh and sing and wave. They are happy. They are in the sky. They are in the balloon. +Tim and Sam like to play with nets. They catch bugs and fish and frogs with their nets. They have fun with their nets. + +One day, they see a big bird in a tree. The bird has a light blue feather and a yellow beak. Tim and Sam want to catch the bird with their nets. They think the bird is pretty and they want to keep it. + +They climb the tree with their nets. They are very quiet and careful. They get close to the bird. They are ready to give their nets a big swing. + +But the bird sees them. The bird is not happy. The bird does not want to be caught. The bird makes a loud noise and flaps its wings. The bird scares Tim and Sam. + +Tim and Sam lose their balance. They drop their nets. They fall from the tree. They hit the ground hard. They cry and hurt. Their nets are broken. The bird flies away. + +Tim and Sam are sad and sorry. They wish they did not try to catch the bird. They learn a lesson. They should not bother the bird with their nets. They should leave the bird alone. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big white bird on a tree. The bird has a red beak and a long tail. + +"Look, Sara, a white bird!" Tom says. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Sara says. + +They want to say hello to the bird. They look for something to give to the bird. Sara finds a bowl on the grass. The bowl is blue and has some seeds in it. + +"Maybe the bird likes seeds," Sara says. She picks up the bowl and walks to the tree. + +"Be careful, Sara," Tom says. "The bird might fly away." + +Sara nods. She holds the bowl up to the bird. The bird looks at Sara and the bowl. It makes a loud sound. + +"Tweet, tweet!" + +Sara smiles. She thinks the bird is happy. She tries to send the bowl to the bird. She throws the bowl gently to the branch where the bird is. + +But the bowl is too heavy. It falls down and breaks on the ground. The seeds spill everywhere. + +"Oh no!" Sara says. She feels sad. + +The bird flies away. It makes another sound. + +"Bye, bye!" + +Tom runs to Sara. He hugs her. + +"It's okay, Sara," he says. "The bird was not hungry. It just wanted to say hi." + +Sara hugs Tom back. + +"Thank you, Tom," she says. "You are a good friend." + +They look at the sky. They see the white bird flying high. They wave to the bird. + +"Bye, bye, white bird!" they say. "Come back soon!" +Jill and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. They had a big shovel and a small spade. + +"Look, I found a root!" Tom said, holding up a brown and hairy thing. "It is very long and thick. I wonder what plant it belongs to." + +"Maybe it is a carrot or a beetroot," Jill said. "Let's cut it and see what is inside. Maybe it is orange or red or purple." + +They took the scissors from the tool box and tried to cut the root. But it was too hard and tough. The scissors could not cut it. + +"Ouch, this hurts my hand!" Tom said, dropping the scissors. "This is not a good root. It is a bad root. Let's throw it away." + +They tossed the root over the fence and heard a loud thud. They looked over and saw a jolly man with a big beard and a red hat. He was holding the root and smiling. + +"Hello, little ones," he said. "Thank you for this nice root. It is not a carrot or a beetroot. It is a ginger root. I use it to make gingerbread and ginger ale. Do you want to try some?" + +Jill and Tom nodded. They liked gingerbread and ginger ale. They followed the jolly man to his house, where he gave them some treats. They ate and drank and laughed. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the scissors and the shovel and the spade. They only remembered the ginger root and the jolly man. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then, Lily saw something shiny in the cabinet. She wanted to see what it was. + +She walked to the cabinet and opened the door. Inside, she saw a big puzzle with many pieces. It was a picture of a farm with cows and pigs and chickens. Lily liked puzzles. She took out the puzzle and put it on the floor. + +"Look, Ben, a puzzle!" she said. "Let's complete it!" + +Ben looked at the puzzle and shook his head. He did not like puzzles. He liked cars and trucks and planes. He wanted to play with his toys. + +"No, Lily, I don't want to complete the puzzle. I want to play with my toys. You complete the puzzle by yourself," he said. + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to play with Ben. She did not want to complete the puzzle by herself. She tried to make Ben change his mind. + +"Please, Ben, please. The puzzle is fun. We can complete it together. Then we can play with your toys. Please, Ben, please," she said. + +But Ben did not listen. He turned away and picked up his truck. He made a loud vroom sound and drove it around the room. He did not care about the puzzle. + +Lily felt angry. She did not like Ben's truck. She wanted to play with the puzzle. She had an idea. She grabbed Ben's truck and threw it in the cabinet. She closed the door and locked it. + +"Ha, ha, ha. Now you can't play with your truck. Now you have to complete the puzzle with me," she said. + +Ben heard a bang and saw Lily's smile. He realized what she did. He ran to the cabinet and tried to open it. But it was locked. He could not get his truck. + +"Hey, Lily, that's not fair. Give me back my truck. That's my truck. You can't take it. Give it back, give it back," he said. + +He pulled and pushed and kicked the cabinet. But it did not open. He felt dry in his mouth and wet in his eyes. He started to cry. + +Lily saw Ben's tears and heard his cry. She felt sorry. She did not mean to make Ben cry. She wanted to play with him. She had another idea. She took the key from her pocket and unlocked the cabinet. She opened the door and gave Ben his truck. + +"Here, Ben, here. I'm sorry. I was wrong. You can have your truck. I don't need the puzzle. I just want to play with you," she said. + +Ben took his truck and wiped his eyes. He looked at Lily and saw her smile. He felt happy. He wanted to play with her. He had another idea. He took the puzzle and put it on the floor. + +"Here, Lily, here. I'm sorry. I was wrong. You can have the puzzle. I don't need my truck. I just want to play with you," he said. + +Lily and Ben hugged and laughed. They decided to play with both the puzzle and the truck. They had a lot of fun completing the puzzle and driving the truck. They were friends again. +Tom and Mia live in a big city with many tall buildings and cars. They like to play with their toys and watch TV, but sometimes they miss nature. They miss the green trees, the blue sky, the colorful flowers and the animals. + +One day, their mom says, "We are going to visit grandma and grandpa in the countryside. They have a farm with cows, chickens, pigs and a dog. You can help them feed the animals and play outside." + +Tom and Mia are very happy and excited. They pack their bags and get in the car. They drive for a long time and see the city change into fields and hills. + +When they arrive at the farm, they hug grandma and grandpa and run to see the animals. They pet the dog, feed the cows, collect the eggs and watch the pigs. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, they see a big tractor coming. The tractor is loud and scary. It has a big shovel and it starts to dig the ground. Grandma and grandpa look sad and angry. They say, "The tractor is here to build a new road. The road will go through our farm and destroy our land. We don't want the road. We want to keep our farm and our nature." + +Tom and Mia feel sad and angry too. They don't want the tractor to ruin their grandma and grandpa's farm. They don't want the road to take away their nature. They want to stop the tractor. + +They run to the tractor and shout, "Stop! Stop! Go away! Leave our farm alone! We love our farm and our nature!" + +The tractor driver hears them and stops. He gets out and looks at them. He says, "I'm sorry, kids. I'm just doing my job. The road is part of a modern plan to connect the city and the countryside. The road will make it easier for people to travel and trade. The road will bring more money and opportunities." + +Tom and Mia don't understand. They say, "But what about the animals? What about the flowers? What about the trees? What about the farm? What about grandma and grandpa? Don't they matter?" + +The tractor driver sighs. He says, "They do matter, kids. But sometimes, progress comes with a price. Sometimes, we have to choose between the old and the new, between the past and the future, between nature and modern. It's not easy, but it's how the world works." + +Tom and Mia shake their heads. They say, "We don't like this world. We don't like this choice. We don't like this road. We don't like this tractor. We like our farm. We like our nature. We like our grandma and grandpa. We miss our nature. We miss our farm. We miss our grandma and grandpa." + +The tractor driver looks at them with pity. He says, "I'm sorry, kids. I wish I could make you happy. But I can't. I have to do my job. I have to build this road. I have to be modern." + +He gets back in the tractor and starts the engine. He says, "Goodbye, kids. Goodbye, farm. Goodbye, nature." + +He drives away, leaving behind a trail of dust and tears. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars on the floor. Lily had a red car and Tom had a blue car. They made noises like vroom and beep as they moved their cars around. + +"Let's have a race!" Tom said. "We can go around the table and back." + +"OK!" Lily said. "But I am the driver and you are the passenger. You have to do what I say." + +Tom did not like that. He wanted to be the driver too. He thought Lily was bossy. But he did not want to fight with her. He got in the blue car and said, "Fine. But you have to go fast." + +Lily smiled and said, "Don't worry. I am the best driver ever. Watch me!" She got in the red car and started the race. She went vroom and beep and zoomed around the table. + +Tom tried to keep up with her. He went vroom and beep and followed her. But Lily was too fast. She was almost back to the start. + +"Ha ha! I am going to win!" Lily said. She looked back at Tom and stuck out her tongue. + +But she did not see the chair leg in front of her. She crashed into it and her car flipped over. She hit her head and started to cry. + +Tom saw what happened and stopped his car. He ran to Lily and said, "Are you OK? I'm sorry you crashed." + +Lily was not OK. She had a big bump on her head and it hurt a lot. She was also angry at Tom. She thought he made her crash. She said, "It's your fault! You were too slow and you made me turn too much. You are a bad passenger and a bad friend. Go away!" + +Tom felt sad and confused. He did not make her crash. He did not do anything wrong. He wanted to help her and be her friend. But she did not want him. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to make you turn. I was just trying to have fun. But you are too bossy and mean. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +He picked up his blue car and walked away. He left Lily alone on the floor, crying and holding her head. They did not play together again. +Anna and her mom went to visit grandma and grandpa. They drove in the car for a long time. Anna was happy to see the big house and the green yard. She wanted to play with the flowers and the birds. + +"Let's unpack first, sweetie," mom said. "We will stay here for a few days. Then you can play outside." + +Anna helped mom carry the bags to the guest room. She saw a big bed with a pink quilt. She also saw a shelf with many books and toys. She saw a teddy bear that looked very soft and cuddly. + +"Who is this?" Anna asked, picking up the teddy bear. + +"That's your grandma's teddy bear. She had it when she was a little girl like you. She said you can play with it while you are here. Isn't it adorable?" mom said. + +Anna hugged the teddy bear and smiled. She liked grandma's teddy bear. She wanted to be friends with it. She put it on the bed and said, "Hello, teddy. My name is Anna. Do you want to play with me?" + +The teddy bear did not answer, but Anna did not mind. She pretended that it nodded and said, "Yes, Anna. I want to play with you. You are very nice." + +Anna and the teddy bear had a lot of fun. They read books, played games, and sang songs. Anna was very happy. She was glad to visit grandma and grandpa. She was glad to meet the adorable teddy bear. She hoped they would have more adventures together. +Lily and Mark are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a red collar. + +"Hello, dog!" Lily says. She wants to pet the dog. Mark is not sure. He thinks the dog is too big. + +"Be careful, Lily," Mark says. "We don't know the dog. Maybe it is not nice." + +Lily does not listen. She walks to the dog. The dog sees Lily. It barks loud. Lily is scared. She runs back to Mark. + +"Help, Mark!" Lily cries. "The dog is angry!" + +Mark is alert. He sees a man. The man is the dog's owner. He has a leash. He brings the leash to the dog. He puts the leash on the dog. + +"Sorry, kids," the man says. "My dog is not angry. He is just excited. He likes to play. But he is too strong. He needs a leash." + +The man smiles. He brings the dog to Lily and Mark. He lets them pet the dog. The dog is calm. He licks their hands. + +"His name is Rex," the man says. "Do you want to play with him?" + +Lily and Mark nod. They are not scared anymore. They like Rex. They play with him. They throw a ball. Rex runs and brings the ball back. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily was restless. She did not want to play with her toys or watch TV. She wanted to help Mommy in the kitchen. Mommy was busy making dinner and putting dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Lily asked Mommy if she could help. + +"Sorry, sweetie, not right now. The dishwasher is very hot and loud. You might get hurt or scared. Why don't you go play with your teddy bear in your room?" Mommy said. + +Lily did not listen. She was curious about the dishwasher. She waited until Mommy went to the living room to check on Daddy. Then she sneaked into the kitchen and opened the dishwasher door. She saw shiny forks and spoons and plates. She wanted to touch them. + +She reached for a fork, but it was very hot. She burned her hand and cried out loud. Mommy heard her and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily holding her hand and the dishwasher door open. She recognized the fork that Lily had dropped on the floor. She was angry and scared. + +"Lily, what did you do? I told you not to touch the dishwasher! You could have hurt yourself badly! How many times do I have to tell you to listen to me?" Mommy shouted. + +Lily felt sorry and scared. She wanted Mommy to hug her and make her hand feel better. But Mommy did not hug her. She took her to the bathroom and put cold water on her hand. Then she put a bandage on it and sent her to her room. She said Lily was in big trouble and could not come out until dinner. + +Lily went to her room and cried. She wished she had listened to Mommy. She wished she had played with her teddy bear. She wished the dishwasher was not so hot and loud. She wished Mommy was not so angry and scared. She wished she could say sorry and make Mommy happy. But she could not. She was alone and sad. She had a bad day. +Lily and Max liked to play in the garden. They had a big tent that they could hide in. They pretended it was a castle or a spaceship or a cave. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, a big storm came. The wind was very strong and the rain was very loud. Lily and Max ran inside the house. They were scared. They looked out the window and saw their tent. It was shaking and flying in the air. They wanted to save it, but they could not go outside. + +They felt helpless. They loved their tent. They did not want to lose it. They wished they could prevent the storm from taking it away. They hugged each other and hoped their tent would be okay. + +The storm stopped after a while. The sun came out and the sky was blue. Lily and Max ran outside to look for their tent. They saw it on the ground, far away from the garden. It was dirty and torn. They were sad. + +But then, they saw something else. Their dad was coming home from work. He had a big smile and a big box in his hands. He said he had a surprise for them. He opened the box and showed them a new tent. It was bigger and brighter and had stars on it. He said he wanted to give them a new tent because he knew how much they liked to play in it. + +Lily and Max were very happy. They hugged their dad and thanked him. They forgot about the old tent. They set up the new tent in the garden and played in it. They pretended it was a castle and a spaceship and a cave. They had a lot of fun. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play near the water. They lived in a big town with many boats and ships in the harbor. Sometimes they saw big fish and birds and people who worked on the boats. + +One day, Lily had a new toy. It was a small boat that she could make move with a remote. She was very happy and wanted to show Tom her toy. She ran to the harbor and looked for Tom. She saw him sitting on a bench, looking sad. + +"Hi, Tom! Look what I have!" Lily said, holding up her toy boat. + +Tom looked at Lily and tried to smile, but he was still sad. "Hi, Lily. That's a nice boat. Where did you get it?" + +"My mom gave it to me for my birthday. She said it was special. Do you want to play with it?" Lily asked. + +Tom shook his head. "No, thank you. I can't play today. I have to go soon." + +Lily was confused. "Why? Where are you going?" + +Tom sighed. "My dad got a new job. He said we have to move to another town. Far away from here. Far away from the harbor. Far away from you." + +Lily felt a pang in her chest. She didn't want Tom to go. He was her best friend. She liked to play with him and talk to him and share with him. She didn't want to lose him. + +She hugged Tom and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I don't want you to go. I'll miss you. Can we still be friends?" + +Tom hugged Lily back and said, "Of course we can. You're my best friend too. I'll miss you too. But we can still write to each other and call each other and maybe visit each other someday." + +Lily nodded. She hoped they could. She wanted to keep Tom in her life. She wanted to show him her toy boat and other things. She wanted to see him smile again. + +She gave Tom her toy boat and said, "Here, you can have this. It's special. It's from me. So you can remember me and the harbor and our fun times." + +Tom took the toy boat and smiled. He was touched by Lily's gesture. He said, "Thank you, Lily. That's very kind of you. I'll treasure this. It's special. It's from you. I'll always remember you and the harbor and our fun times." + +They hugged again and said goodbye. They watched each other walk away, holding the toy boat and their memories. They felt sad, but also happy. They knew they had a special friendship that would last. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big bowl, a spoon, some flour, some water and some salt. + +"Let's make a cake!" said Lily. She poured some water and some flour into the bowl and stirred with the spoon. "We need some salt too, to make it tasty." + +Tom nodded and reached for the salt shaker. But he was too small and he could not see it well. He grabbed it with his hand and tried to shake some salt into the bowl. But he shook too hard and the lid came off. All the salt came out and fell into the bowl and on the floor. + +"Oh no!" said Tom. He dropped the salt shaker and tried to pick up some of the salt from the floor. But the salt was very small and slippery and he could not hold it. He stumbled and fell on the floor too. + +Lily saw what happened and ran to help Tom. She was worried he might be hurt. She saw the bowl with the thick and salty dough and the mess on the floor. She felt sad and angry. + +"Tom, you are so silly!" she said. "You ruined our cake and made a big mess. Mommy will be mad at us." + +Tom felt sad and sorry too. He did not mean to do that. He wanted to make a cake with Lily and have fun. He looked at Lily with his big eyes and said: + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I did not want to do that. I wanted to help you. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily looked at Tom and saw that he was sorry. She remembered that he was her brother and she loved him. She smiled and said: + +"Of course we can, Tom. You are my brother and I love you. But next time, be more careful with the salt, okay?" + +They hugged and said sorry to each other. Then they cleaned up the mess and threw away the thick and salty dough. They decided to make something else instead. Maybe some cookies or some pancakes. They hoped Mommy would not be too mad at them. They were still learning how to be chefs. +Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals in the farm. They see cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. + +One day, they see a big chicken. The chicken is brown and white. The chicken has a red thing on its head. The chicken is intelligent. It can do tricks. It can jump, roll and peck. + +Tim and Sue want to play with the chicken. They say, "Hello, chicken. Can you show us your tricks?" The chicken nods. It jumps, rolls and pecks. Tim and Sue clap. They say, "Wow, chicken. You are very clever. Can we pet you?" + +The chicken nods again. It lets Tim and Sue pet it. It feels soft and warm. Tim and Sue are happy. They say, "We like you, chicken. You are our friend." + +But then, a bad boy comes. The bad boy is mean. He does not like animals. He sees Tim and Sue and the chicken. He says, "What are you doing? That is a stupid chicken. It is not your friend. It is food. I will kick it and take it home." + +The bad boy runs to the chicken. He tries to kick it. But the chicken is intelligent. It sees the bad boy. It dodges the kick. It flaps its wings. It pecks the bad boy's leg. The bad boy screams. He says, "Ow, ow, ow. That chicken hurts me. Go away, chicken. Go away." + +Tim and Sue are angry. They say, "No, you go away. You are a bad boy. You are mean to the chicken. The chicken is our friend. The chicken is not food. The chicken is clever. You are stupid." + +The bad boy is scared. He runs away. He does not come back. Tim and Sue hug the chicken. They say, "Don't worry, chicken. We will protect you. We will play with you. We love you, chicken." + +The chicken is happy. It clucks. It says, "Thank you, Tim and Sue. You are good friends. You are kind to me. I love you, too." +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a swing. Sara wants to try the swing. She runs to the tree and climbs on the swing. + +"Look at me, Tom!" she says. "I can swing very high!" + +Tom watches Sara. He feels worry. The swing looks old and weak. The rope is thin and smelly. He thinks the swing might break. + +"Sara, be careful!" he says. "The swing is not good. It might hang you!" + +Sara does not listen to Tom. She thinks he is silly. She swings higher and higher. She laughs and sings. + +Suddenly, the rope snaps. Sara falls to the ground. She cries out loud. She hurts her arm and her leg. + +Tom runs to Sara. He helps her get up. He hugs her and says sorry. + +"Sara, are you okay?" he asks. + +Sara feels pain and fear. She wishes she listened to Tom. She says sorry too. + +"Tom, you were right," she says. "The swing was bad. It hung me. I was foolish. I should have been careful." + +Tom and Sara walk to the nurse. The nurse gives Sara a bandage and a lollipop. She tells them to be safe and smart. + +Sara and Tom learn a lesson. They do not play with old and smelly things. They listen to their friends. They do not want to hang again. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they also like to look at the sky. They have a big window in their room. They can see the stars and the moon. + +One night, Tom and Lily are not sleepy. They want to stay up and look at the sky. They turn off the light and go to the window. They see a big, pale moon. It is round and bright. They see many small, shiny stars. They are like dots in the dark. + +"Look, Lily, the moon is so big!" Tom says. He points at the moon with his finger. + +"Yes, Tom, it is. And the stars are so pretty!" Lily says. She smiles and claps her hands. + +"Can we go to the moon, Lily?" Tom asks. He wonders what the moon is like. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe one day. But we can show the moon our toys. Maybe the moon likes toys too." Lily says. She picks up her teddy bear and holds it up to the window. + +"Hello, moon! This is my teddy bear. His name is Brownie. He is soft and cuddly. Do you like him?" Lily says. + +Tom likes Lily's idea. He picks up his toy car and holds it up to the window. + +"Hello, moon! This is my toy car. It is red and fast. It can go vroom vroom. Do you like it?" Tom says. + +Tom and Lily show the moon their toys. They hope the moon is happy. They think the moon is their friend. They talk to the moon and the stars. They forget about being sleepy. They have fun in the night. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with yellow fruits. "Look, bananas!" Anna said. "I want one!" Ben said. They ran to the tree and tried to reach the fruits. + +But the tree was not a banana tree. It was a monkey tree. A big monkey was hiding behind the leaves. He did not like the children who wanted to take his food. He jumped out and made a loud noise. "Ooo-ooo-aaa-aaa!" he shouted. + +Anna and Ben were frightened. They screamed and ran away. The monkey chased them for a while, then went back to his tree. He ate his bananas and smiled. + +Anna and Ben learned a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should be careful of animals they do not know. They should respect nature and its creatures. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play at the beach. They see a big boat on the water. They want to go on the boat. + +"Can we go on the boat, Mom?" Tom asks. + +"No, you can't. The boat is for big people. It is too far and too fast for you," Mom says. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They think the boat is fun. They see something in the water. It is a big whale. The whale is weak. It has a net around it. The net hurts the whale. + +"Look, Sam! A whale!" Tom says. + +"Wow! A whale! It is so big!" Sam says. + +The whale makes a noise. It sounds like it is asking for help. Tom and Sam want to help the whale. They think the net is bad. + +"Can we help the whale, Mom?" Sam asks. + +"Yes, you can. But you have to be careful. The whale is big and strong. It can hurt you if it moves," Mom says. + +Mom gives Tom and Sam a pair of scissors. They go to the water. They swim to the whale. They cut the net with the scissors. The whale is free. It is happy. It thanks Tom and Sam with a splash. + +"Yay! We helped the whale!" Tom says. + +"We are good friends!" Sam says. + +The whale swims away. It waves with its tail. Tom and Sam wave back. They are happy. They think the whale is nice. They go back to the beach. They hug Mom. They play with the sand. They have a good day. +One day, a hunter went to the forest to find some food. He had a bow and some arrows, and a big bag to carry what he caught. He was very hungry and poor, and he hoped to find a deer or a rabbit. + +He walked and walked, but he did not see any animals. He only saw trees and rocks and birds. He was getting tired and sad. He decided to rest under a big tree and eat some bread. He put his bow and arrows and bag on the ground and sat down. + +While he was eating, he heard a noise. He looked up and saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry, and it wanted to eat the hunter. The hunter was scared and jumped up. He reached for his bow and arrows, but they were gone. The bear had taken them while he was not looking. + +"Help! Help!" the hunter shouted. "The bear has my bow and arrows! I have nothing to fight with!" + +But no one heard him. He was alone in the forest. He tried to run away, but the bear was faster. It caught him and ate him. The hunter was gone. + +The bear was happy and full. It took the hunter's bag and went to its cave. Inside the bag, it found some more bread and a shiny thing. It was a necklace that the hunter had stolen from a rich lady. The bear did not know what it was, but it liked it. It put it around its neck and felt proud. + +The end. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play games, but they are very competitive. They always want to win and be the best. + +One day, they play a game of tag in the garden. Tim is it, and he runs after Sam. Sam is fast, but Tim is faster. He almost catches Sam, but Sam runs behind a wall. + +"Ha ha, you can't get me!" Sam says from behind the wall. + +"Yes, I can!" Tim says. He tries to jump over the wall, but it is too high. He falls and hurts his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim cries. He holds his knee and tears come out of his eyes. + +Sam hears Tim cry and feels sorry. He comes out from behind the wall and sees Tim's knee. It is red and has a little blood. + +"I'm sorry, Tim. Are you okay?" Sam says. + +Tim looks at Sam and sniffles. "No, it hurts a lot. Why did you hide behind the wall?" + +Sam says, "I was just playing. I didn't want you to catch me. I wanted to win." + +Tim says, "But it's not fun to win if you hurt someone. You should have warned me that the wall was too high." + +Sam nods. He says, "You're right. I should have warned you. I'm sorry, Tim. I don't want to be competitive anymore. I want to be your friend." + +Tim smiles. He says, "It's okay, Sam. I'm sorry, too. I don't want to be competitive either. I want to be your friend, too." + +Sam hugs Tim and says, "Let's go inside and get a band-aid for your knee. And then we can play another game, but this time, we can play together and have fun." + +Tim nods and says, "Okay, Sam. That sounds good. I love you, brother." + +Sam says, "I love you, too, brother." +Tom and Sue are husband and wife. They live in a small house with a big garden. They like to grow flowers and vegetables in the garden. They also have a dog named Spot and a cat named Fluffy. + +One day, Tom and Sue are working in the garden. Spot and Fluffy are playing nearby. Tom is digging a hole for a new plant. Sue is watering the roses. They are happy and sing a song. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. They look up and see a big bird. The bird is black and white and has a long beak. It is a magpie. The magpie is flying over the garden. It sees something shiny. It is Sue's ring. Sue's ring is gold and has a red stone. It is a gift from Tom. Sue loves her ring. + +The magpie wants the ring. It swoops down and tries to grab it. Sue sees the magpie and screams. She pulls her hand away. The magpie misses the ring but hits Sue's face. Sue feels a sharp pain. She cries out. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow! The bird slapped me!" Sue says. + +Tom hears Sue and runs to her. He sees the magpie flying away. He sees Sue's face. It is red and swollen. He feels angry and sad. + +"Are you okay, Sue? That was a bad bird. It hurt you. I'm sorry." Tom says. + +He hugs Sue and kisses her face. He takes her to the house. He gets some ice and a cloth. He puts the ice on Sue's face. He tells her to lie down on the couch. He brings her some water and a cookie. He sits next to her and holds her hand. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. You are a good husband. I'm lucky to have you." Sue says. + +She smiles and squeezes his hand. She looks at her ring. It is still on her finger. It sparkles in the sun. She is glad the magpie did not take it. She loves her ring. She loves Tom more. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. One day, they pretend to be superheroes. They wear capes and masks. They have special powers. + +"I can fly!" Lily says. She jumps and flaps her arms. "I can go to distant places!" + +"I can make fire!" Ben says. He holds his hands out and makes noises. "I can burn bad guys!" + +They run around the yard. They perform their powers. They have fun. + +But then, they see a big dog. The dog barks and runs at them. Lily and Ben are scared. They drop their capes and masks. They forget their powers. + +"Help!" Lily cries. "The dog is mean!" + +"Run!" Ben shouts. "The dog is fast!" + +They run to the house. They slam the door. They hug each other. They are safe. + +"Maybe we are not superheroes," Lily says. + +"Maybe not," Ben says. "But we are still friends." +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They found a big patch of dirt and some water. They decided to mix them together. + +"Look, I made a big mud pie!" Lily said, holding up her hands. "Do you want some?" + +Max nodded and took some mud from Lily. He tried to make a ball, but it was too wet and sticky. He dropped it on the ground. + +"Oops!" he said. "It's too runny. How do we make it harder?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She saw some leaves and sticks nearby. She had an idea. + +"Let's put some leaves and sticks in the mud. Maybe they will make it harder." She said. + +They picked up some leaves and sticks and mixed them with the mud. They tried to make balls and pies again, but they still didn't work. The leaves and sticks poked out of the mud and made it messy. + +"This is not working!" Max said. He was confused. "Why can't we make good mud pies?" + +Lily was confused too. She looked at their hands and clothes. They were covered in mud and bits of leaves and sticks. She felt something tickle her nose. She sneezed. + +"Ah-choo!" she said. + +Max looked at her and laughed. He sneezed too. + +"Ah-choo!" he said. + +They looked at each other and giggled. They didn't care about the mud pies anymore. They had fun mixing and sneezing. They were happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had a blue dress, yellow hair and a big smile. Lily took Anna everywhere she went. + +One day, Lily and Anna went to the park with her mom. Lily saw a swing and ran to it. She put Anna on the swing and pushed her gently. "Whee, Anna, you are flying!" Lily said. Anna did not say anything. She was a doll. + +But then, a big boy came and took Anna from the swing. He said, "This is my swing. Go away, little girl." He threw Anna on the ground and ran away. Lily was very sad and angry. She ran to Anna and picked her up. Anna's dress was dirty and her hair was tangled. Lily hugged Anna and cried. + +Lily's mom saw what happened and came to Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. That was a very mean boy. Are you and Anna okay?" Lily nodded, but she still cried. She said, "Anna is hurt. She is troubled. She does not like the park. She wants to go home." + +Lily's mom said, "I understand, Lily. Let's go home and clean Anna up. Maybe we can give her a new dress and a ribbon for her hair. She will feel better soon." Lily said, "Okay, mom. Thank you." She held Anna close and walked with her mom. + +On the way home, Lily whispered to Anna, "Don't worry, Anna. You are my best friend. I love you. You have a good spirit. You are brave and kind. You don't complain. You are the best doll ever." Anna did not say anything. She was a doll. But Lily felt that Anna smiled. +Lila and Tom are friends who like to play in the park. One day, they see a man with a big cart. He has many cans of tuna on his cart. He shouts, "Tuna for sale! Tuna for sale! Only one coin for a can!" + +Lila and Tom are curious. They go to the man and ask, "What is tuna?" + +The man smiles and says, "Tuna is a fish that lives in the water. It is very yummy and good for you. Do you want to buy some?" + +Lila and Tom look at the cans. They are old and rusty. They have dirt and bugs on them. They smell bad. Lila and Tom think the cans are filthy. + +They shake their heads and say, "No, thank you. We do not want your tuna. Your tuna is filthy. It is not yummy or good for you. It is yucky and bad for you." + +The man frowns and says, "No, no, no. My tuna is not filthy. It is fresh and tasty. You are silly and rude. Go away!" + +Lila and Tom run away from the man. They do not like him. They do not like his tuna. They go to the playground and have fun. They are happy and hungry. They eat their sandwiches and apples. They are yummy and good for them. They are not yucky and bad for them. They are not filthy. +Lily was a girl who liked to play with dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Ann. Ann had long hair, a pink dress, and a smile. Lily took care of Ann every day. She brushed her hair, gave her tea, and sang to her. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Ann. She saw some other kids playing with a big staff. It was a long stick with a star on top. It looked like a magic staff. Lily wanted to play with it too. + +"Can I have a turn with your staff?" Lily asked the boy who had it. + +"No, it's mine. Go away," the boy said. He was rude and mean. + +"Please, just for a little bit," Lily said. She tried to grab the staff, but the boy pulled it away. + +"Leave me alone, or I'll break your doll," the boy said. He pointed the staff at Ann. + +Lily was scared and angry. She loved Ann. She did not want her to get hurt. She shouted at the boy. + +"Stop it! You are a bad boy! Give me the staff!" + +The boy did not listen. He swung the staff at Lily and Ann. He hit Ann on the head. Ann's head cracked and fell off. Lily saw her doll's face on the ground. She felt a big pain in her heart. + +She started to cry. She picked up Ann's head and hugged it. She looked at the boy with hate. + +"You broke Ann! You broke my best friend! I hate you!" + +The boy did not care. He laughed and ran away with the staff. He was popular with the other kids. They liked his staff. They did not like Lily or her doll. + +Lily's mom came and saw what happened. She felt sorry for Lily. She tried to comfort her. + +"I'm so sorry, Lily. That boy was very mean. He should not have done that. We can get you a new doll, okay?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not want a new doll. She wanted Ann. She wanted her to be whole again. She wanted to take care of her. She wanted to play with her. + +But she could not. Ann was broken. Lily was broken too. She cried and cried. She did not stop. +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big brown dog. The dog is sleeping on the grass. Tom likes dogs. He wants to touch the dog. Lily is scared of dogs. She does not want to touch the dog. + +"Look, a dog!" Tom says. He runs to the dog. He stares at the dog. He puts his hand on the dog's fur. The dog is soft and warm. + +"No, Tom, don't touch the dog!" Lily says. She runs after Tom. She stares at the dog. She sees the dog's teeth. The dog is big and scary. + +The dog wakes up. He sees Tom and Lily. He does not like strangers. He barks at Tom and Lily. He shows his teeth. He looks angry. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Lily say. They are afraid of the dog. They run away from the dog. They find their mom. They hug their mom. + +"Mom, mom, there was a big brown dog. He barked at us. He was angry. We were scared." Tom and Lily say. + +"It's okay, it's okay. You are safe now. You should not touch a dog you don't know. He might bite you. You should ask the owner first. Or you should stay away from the dog." Mom says. + +"Okay, mom. We are sorry. We will not touch a dog we don't know. We will be careful." Tom and Lily say. + +Mom smiles. She kisses Tom and Lily. She takes them to the playground.

They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars. + +Tim's car is fast. It zooms ahead of Jen's car. Jen's car is slow. It falls behind Tim's car. Jen is sad. She wants to win. She has an idea. She says, "Stop, Tim! I need to reverse my car. It is broken." + +Tim stops his car. He is nice. He wants to help Jen. He says, "OK, Jen. I will wait for you. Reverse your car and fix it." + +Jen smiles. She reverses her car. But she does not fix it. She pushes it back to the start. She says, "Now I am ready. Let's race again." + +Tim is confused. He says, "But Jen, you cheated. You did not fix your car. You just went back to the start. That is not fair." + +Jen says, "No, I did not cheat. I reversed my car. That is a rule. You can reverse your car too." + +Tim says, "No, Jen. That is not a rule. That is a trick. You are not nice. You are mean. I do not want to race with you anymore." + +Tim and Jen are angry. They do not talk to each other. They do not play with their cars. They sit on the floor and pout. + +Mom sees them. She says, "What is wrong, Tim and Jen? Why are you not playing?" + +Tim and Jen tell Mom what happened. Mom says, "I see. You had a fight. That is not good. You should not cheat or trick each other. You should be fair and kind. You should say sorry and share." + +Tim and Jen think. They feel bad. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will not fight again.

She put on a pink apron that was too big for her and climbed on a chair. She wanted to make a cake for her dad's birthday. + +"Can I mix the flour, mom?" she asked. + +"Sure, sweetie, but be careful not to spill it," her mom said. She gave her a big bowl and a wooden spoon. Anna stirred the flour with all her might. She felt very proud. + +But then, she saw a fat fly buzzing around the bowl. She did not like flies. They were dirty and noisy. She tried to shoo it away with her spoon, but she missed. The fly landed on the flour and Anna screamed. + +"Mom, mom, there's a fly in the cake!" she cried. + +Her mom came over and saw the fly. She smiled and picked it up with a napkin. She threw it in the trash. + +"Don't worry, honey, it's gone now. The cake will still be yummy," she said. She hugged Anna and kissed her cheek. + +"Thank you, mom. I love you," Anna said. + +"I love you too, my little baker," her mom said. They finished the cake together and put it in the oven. Anna could not wait to see her dad's face when he saw it.

"I am the king of the jungle!" + +She ran around her room, jumping on her bed and growling. She had so much fun, she did not hear her mom calling her for lunch. + +"Lily, come downstairs, please!" her mom said. "It's time to eat!" + +Lily did not answer. She was too busy being a lion. + +Her mom came upstairs and knocked on her door. She opened it and saw Lily in her lion costume, still roaring at the mirror. + +"What are you doing, sweetie?" her mom asked. + +"I am a lion, mom!" Lily said proudly. "Can't you see?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "You are a very clever lion, Lily. But even lions need to eat, you know. Come on, let's go have some soup and bread." + +Lily nodded and took off her scarf. She followed her mom downstairs, but not before giving one last roar at the mirror. She liked being a lion, but she also liked being a girl. And she loved her mom very much. +Lila wanted to bring her old doll to the park. She loved her doll very much. She gave her doll a name, a dress and a hat. She talked to her doll every day. + +But her mom said no. She said the doll was too old and dirty. She said the doll might get lost or broken at the park. She said Lila should bring a new toy instead. + +Lila was sad and angry. She did not want a new toy. She wanted her old doll. She said to her mom, "Please, please, please, let me bring my doll. She is my best friend. She wants to see the park too." + +Her mom was persistent. She said no again and again. She said Lila had to listen to her. She said she knew what was best for Lila and her doll. + +Lila did not give up. She was persistent too. She hid her doll in her backpack. She hoped her mom would not see it. She wanted to surprise her doll with the park. She thought her doll would be happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Tom said, showing his creation. "It is taller than you!" + +Lily smiled and clapped her hands. "Wow, Tom, that is a great tower! Can I join you and make one too?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can join me. Here, take some blocks and build next to me." Tom said, sharing his blocks with his sister. + +They were having fun, building and talking, when they heard a loud noise from outside. It sounded like a big truck or a plane. They ran to the window and looked out. + +They saw a big machine with a long hose and a big fan. It was blowing dust and leaves and trash from the street. The dust was flying everywhere and making the air dirty. + +"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked, curious. + +"That is a sweeper. It cleans the street. But it is very loud and dusty." Tom explained. + +"I don't like it. It hurts my ears and makes me sneeze." Lily said, covering her nose. + +"Me neither. Let's go back to our blocks. They are more fun and quiet." Tom said, pulling Lily away from the window. + +They went back to their blocks and continued to play. They forgot about the sweeper and the dust. They were happy to join each other and make beautiful things. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big box of bones. They can make animals and people with the bones. They can also make scary things, like monsters and ghosts. + +One day, they find a new bone in the box. It is a skull. It has two holes for eyes and a hole for a mouth. It looks very fancy and shiny. Anna and Ben both want the skull for their game. + +"I saw it first!" Anna says. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "I want it more!" + +They pull the skull from each other. They are angry and loud. They do not want to share. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the skull and is surprised. She knows it is not a toy. It is a real skull. It belongs to Dad. He is a doctor and he uses it to learn about the head. + +"Anna, Ben, stop!" Mom says. "This is not a toy. This is Dad's skull. He needs it for his work. You cannot play with it. It is not safe." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They did not know it was Dad's skull. They let go of the skull and give it to Mom. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says it is okay. She says they can play with the other bones, but not the skull. She says she will find them a new toy, something more fun and less fancy. She says she loves them. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They say they love Mom too. They go back to their game. They make a big dinosaur with the bones. They have fun and forget about the skull. +Lily liked to watch the birds in the sky. She saw many kinds of birds, but her favorite was the dove. The dove was white and soft and made a gentle sound. Lily wanted to touch the dove and be its friend. + +One day, Lily saw a dove sitting on a branch near her window. She ran to get some bread and opened the window. She threw some bread crumbs to the dove and said, "Hello, dove. I like you. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The dove looked at Lily and tilted its head. It flew closer to the window and pecked at the bread. It cooed softly and nodded. Lily smiled and reached out her hand. The dove hopped on her finger and let her stroke its feathers. + +Lily was very happy. She said, "You are so nice, dove. I believe you are a magic dove. Can you grant me a wish?" + +The dove blinked and nodded again. It whispered in Lily's ear, "I can grant you one wish, but you have to be careful what you wish for. Some wishes are not good for you." + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I wish I could fly like you, dove. I want to see the world and be free." + +The dove sighed and said, "Are you sure, Lily? Flying is not easy. There are many dangers and troubles in the sky. You might miss your home and your family. You might get lost or hurt." + +Lily nodded. She said, "I am sure, dove. I want to fly. Please, grant me my wish." + +The dove said, "Very well, Lily. I will grant you your wish. But remember, you can only fly for one day. When the sun sets, you will turn back into a girl. And you have to come back to this window, or you will be stuck as a bird forever." + +Lily agreed. She said, "Thank you, dove. I will come back, I promise." + +The dove touched Lily's nose with its beak and said, "Close your eyes, Lily. And make your wish." + +Lily closed her eyes and wished with all her heart. She felt a strange sensation in her body. She felt her arms become wings, her legs become claws, her hair become feathers. She opened her eyes and saw that she had turned into a dove. A pale dove, like the one on her finger. + +She gasped and said, "Wow, dove. You did it. You made me a dove." + +The dove smiled and said, "Yes, Lily. I did. Now, let's fly. But don't forget your promise." + +Lily nodded and said, "I won't, dove. Let's fly." + +They flew out of the window and into the sky. They soared and glided and circled and dived. They saw many things and had many adventures. Lily was happy and free. She felt like she was living a dream. + +But she did not know that the dove had a secret. A secret that would change everything. A secret that would make her wish come true in a way she did not expect. A secret that would make her regret her wish. A secret that would make her cry. A secret that would make her pale. +Sara and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a box full of dolls and Tom had a box full of cars. They liked to share their toys and make stories with them. + +One day, Sara found a new doll in her box. It was very pretty, with long hair and a shiny dress. She showed it to Tom and said, "Look, Tom, I have a new doll. She is so nice. Do you want to play with her?" + +Tom looked at the doll and saw something strange. He took the doll from Sara and pulled her hair. The hair came off and he saw a plastic head. He said, "Sara, this is not a real doll. This is a fake doll. Someone put hair on a plastic head. Look, it can snap off." + +He snapped off the plastic head and showed it to Sara. Sara was very sad and angry. She said, "Tom, you are mean. You broke my new doll. Give it back to me. It is not fake, it is special." + +She tried to grab the doll from Tom, but he held it tight. They started to fight and pull the doll. The doll broke into more pieces and fell on the floor. Sara and Tom both cried and shouted. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken doll and the upset children. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? What happened to this doll?" + +Sara and Tom both tried to explain, but they talked at the same time. Their mom could not understand them. She said, "Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to hear any more. You both need to calm down and say sorry to each other. This doll was a gift from your aunt. She made it for you with love. It was not fake, it was unique. But you did not take care of it and you ruined it. Now you have no doll and no car. You have to learn to respect your toys and your siblings." + +She took the broken doll and the box of cars and put them away. She said, "You can have your toys back when you show me that you can play nicely and share. Now go to your rooms and think about what you did." + +Sara and Tom felt very sorry and ashamed. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They went to their rooms and thought about how to be better friends. They decided to make a new doll and a new car for each other with paper and crayons. They hoped their mom and their aunt would forgive them and be proud of them. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw some fireworks in a box near their house. They were curious and wanted to see them. They took the box and ran to the park. + +"Let's make them go high in the sky!" Tom said. + +"But how?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe we need a match," Tom said. He found one in his pocket and lit it. + +"Be careful, Tom!" Lily said. "That could be dangerous!" + +But Tom did not listen. He threw the match into the box and waited for the fireworks to happen. But nothing happened. He went closer to the box and looked inside. + +Suddenly, there was a loud bang and a bright flash. The fireworks exploded in Tom's face. He screamed and fell to the ground. Lily ran to him and saw that he was hurt. His eyes were red and his skin was burned. She cried and called for help. + +Soon, their parents and a doctor came. They took Tom to the hospital and treated his wounds. Lily stayed with him and hugged him. She was sorry for what happened. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," she said. "I should have stopped you." + +"I'm sorry, too, Lily," Tom said. "I should have listened to you. I was foolish and reckless. I learned my lesson. Fireworks are not toys. They are dangerous and can hurt us. We should never play with them." + +Lily nodded and kissed his cheek. They both learned a valuable lesson that day. They promised to be more careful and respectful of fireworks. They also thanked their parents and the doctor for helping them. They hoped that Tom would heal soon and that they could play outside again. But they would never touch fireworks again. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big bunch of grapes on a bench. They are hungry and want to eat them. + +"Who left these grapes here?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone forgot them," Mia says. + +"Can we have some? They look yummy," Ben says. + +Mia nods. She picks a grape and puts it in her mouth. It is sweet and juicy. She smiles and gives one to Ben. + +They eat some grapes and feel happy. They save some for later. + +But then, a big dog comes to the bench. It sees the grapes and barks. It wants to eat them too. + +"Go away, dog! These are our grapes!" Ben shouts. + +The dog does not listen. It jumps on the bench and tries to grab the grapes. + +Ben and Mia are scared. They run away from the dog. + +They see a man coming to the park. He has a leash in his hand. He is the dog's owner. + +"Hey, stop! That's my dog!" the man yells. + +He runs to the bench and catches the dog. He puts the leash on the dog and says sorry to Ben and Mia. + +"I'm sorry, kids. He is a good dog, but he does not understand that grapes are not for him. They can make him sick. He is too powerful for his own good," the man says. + +Ben and Mia nod. They understand. They are not mad at the dog. They are glad he is not sick. + +They go back to the bench and get their grapes. They share them with the man and the dog. + +They all eat some grapes and feel happy. They make new friends. +Lily loved math. She liked to count and add and make shapes. She was excited to go to school and learn more math with her teacher and friends. She had a new math book with stickers and puzzles. She wanted to decorate her book with the stickers and make it pretty. + +But when she got to school, she saw that her math book was gone. She looked everywhere, but she could not find it. She felt sad and angry. Who took her math book? She asked her teacher and her friends, but no one knew. She had to use a different book that was old and boring. She did not like it. + +At lunchtime, she saw Max, a boy from another class. He had a math book that looked like hers. It had stickers and puzzles. But the stickers were not the same as hers. They were different. They were ugly. Lily knew that Max had taken her math book and changed the stickers. She was very mad. She ran to Max and grabbed the book from him. She yelled, "This is my book! You took it! You ruined it!" + +Max was surprised and scared. He did not know that the book was Lily's. He found it in the trash can. He liked math too, and he wanted to decorate the book with his own stickers and make it cool. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not know. I thought it was trash. I like your stickers. They are pretty. Can we share the book?" + +Lily looked at Max. She saw that he was sorry. She saw that he liked math too. She felt a little sorry for him. She said, "It's okay, Max. I'm sorry too. I was angry. You can have some of my stickers. They are pretty. We can share the book." + +Lily and Max smiled. They became friends. They decorated the book together with their stickers and puzzles. They learned more math together. They were excited. They had fun. +Anna likes to watch the lab. The lab is a big room with many things. Anna's dad works in the lab. He makes new things with the things in the lab. Anna thinks he is very smart. + +One day, Anna goes to the lab with her dad. She sees a black dog in a cage. The dog looks sad and scared. Anna loves dogs. She wants to help the dog. + +"Dad, can I see the dog?" Anna asks. + +"No, Anna. The dog is not for you. The dog is for the lab. We need to test the dog," her dad says. + +"Test the dog? What does that mean?" Anna asks. + +"It means we give the dog some things and see what happens. It helps us learn new things," her dad says. + +"But that is not nice. The dog does not want to be tested. The dog wants to be free and happy. Can we let the dog go?" Anna asks. + +"No, Anna. We can't let the dog go. The dog is part of the lab. The lab is important. You have to understand," her dad says. + +Anna does not understand. She feels angry and sad. She thinks her dad is not nice. She thinks the lab is not nice. She thinks the dog is very nice. She wants to be friends with the dog. + +Anna waits until her dad is busy. She sneaks to the cage. She opens the cage. She lets the dog out. The dog runs to Anna. The dog licks Anna's face. Anna hugs the dog. She feels happy. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" her dad shouts. + +Anna looks at her dad. She sees he is angry. She is scared. She holds the dog tight. + +"I'm sorry, dad. But I don't like the lab. I don't like what you do to the dog. I like the dog. The dog is my friend. Can we keep the dog?" Anna asks. + +Her dad looks at Anna. He looks at the dog. He sighs. He thinks for a long time. He feels sorry for Anna. He feels sorry for the dog. He loves Anna. He loves the dog. + +"Okay, Anna. We can keep the dog. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me you will never go to the lab again. The lab is not for you. The lab is not for the dog. The lab is dangerous. Do you understand?" her dad asks. + +Anna nods. She understands. She promises. She smiles. She thanks her dad. She kisses her dad. She kisses the dog. She names the dog Black. She and Black are happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big white dog. The dog is very fluffy and friendly. He comes to them and wags his tail. + +"Hello, dog!" Lily says. "What is your name?" + +The dog does not answer. He just licks Lily's face. + +"Maybe he is deaf," Ben says. "He cannot hear us." + +Lily feels sad. She wants to talk to the dog. + +"Can we help him?" she asks. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He remembers something his mom told him. + +"I have an idea," he says. "We can use our hands to talk to him. My mom says that is how some people talk to deaf people. She says it is called sign language. She can teach us some words." + +Lily likes the idea. She thinks it is very smart. + +"Let's do that," she says. "Maybe the dog will understand us then." + +They go to Ben's mom and ask her to teach them some sign language. She is happy to help. She shows them how to make signs for hello, dog, name, friend, and play. + +They go back to the park and find the white dog. They use their hands to talk to him. The dog looks at them with curiosity. He seems to like their signs. He barks and jumps. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They have made a new friend. They recommend sign language to everyone who wants to talk to the white dog. They name him Snowy. They play with him every day. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a lot of mist in the air. It was cold and wet. + +"Look, Lily, it's like a big cloud!" Tom said. + +"Can we touch it?" Lily asked. + +They ran to the mist and tried to catch it with their hands. But the mist was too thin and slipped through their fingers. + +"It's funny, Tom. It's there, but it's not there," Lily said. + +They tried to blow the mist away, but it only moved a little bit. + +"Maybe we can make it go away with a wish," Tom said. + +"A wish? How do we do that?" Lily asked. + +Tom closed his eyes and said, "I wish the mist would go away and the sun would come out." + +Lily did the same and said, "I wish the same as Tom." + +They opened their eyes and looked at the sky. The mist was still there, but it was lighter and brighter. + +"Look, Lily, I think it's working!" Tom said. + +They saw a small patch of blue in the sky. The sun was shining through the mist. + +"Wow, Tom, you're right! Our wish is coming true!" Lily said. + +They clapped their hands and jumped with joy. They hoped the mist would go away soon and they could play in the sun. They felt successful and happy. They hugged each other and smiled. +Lily was a youth who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pink dress and long hair.

She could not see Anna anywhere. She felt sad and angry. Where was Anna? + +She went to her brother's room. Maybe he took Anna. He sometimes did that to tease her. She opened his door and saw him playing with his cars. She saw Anna on his shelf. She ran to get her, but her brother stopped her. + +"Hey, that's my doll now!" he said. "I found her in the hall. Finders keepers!" + +"No, that's my Anna!" Lily said. "Give her back!" + +They both grabbed Anna and pulled. They started to struggle. Anna's dress ripped. Her hair came off. They both gasped. + +They looked at Anna. She was broken. They felt sorry and scared. What would Mom say? + +They heard Mom coming up the stairs. They were tired of fighting. They put Anna on the bed and hugged each other. + +"Mom, we're sorry," they said. "We broke Anna. We didn't mean to." + +Mom came in and saw Anna. She saw their faces. She felt sad and angry, but also loving. She hugged them both. + +"It's okay," she said. "I know you love Anna. And I know you love each other. We can fix Anna. But you have to share and be kind. Can you do that?" + +They nodded. They said sorry to each other. They said thank you to Mom. They learned a lesson. They played together with Anna and their other toys. They were happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they want to fly a kite. They have a kite with a long tail and many colors. + +They go to the park with the kite. They look for a good place to fly it. They see a big hill. They run to the hill. They think the hill is high. They think the wind is strong. + +They prepare the kite. They tie the string to the kite.

They wish for more fun. They smile. They laugh. They fly the kite. +Ben and Lily loved to go to the park with their mom. They liked to slide, climb, and run, but their favorite thing was to swing. They would take turns pushing each other and see who could go higher and faster. + +One day, they saw a new boy at the park. He had a big bag of peanuts and he was eating them by himself. He looked sad and lonely. Ben and Lily wanted to be his friend, so they went over to him and said hello. + +"Hi, I'm Ben and this is Lily. What's your name?" Ben asked. + +"I'm Sam. I like peanuts. Do you want some?" Sam offered. + +"Thank you, but we can't eat peanuts. We are allergic. They make us sick," Lily said. + +"Oh, I'm sorry. That's too bad. Peanuts are yummy and crunchy," Sam said. + +"That's okay. We like other things. Do you want to play with us? We can swing together. It's fun and exciting," Ben said. + +"Really? I've never swung before. How do you do it?" Sam asked. + +"It's easy. You just sit on the seat and hold the ropes. Then you move your legs and lean back and forth. We can help you. Come on, let's go," Lily said. + +Sam followed Ben and Lily to the swings. They helped him get on and pushed him gently. Sam felt a bit scared at first, but then he felt a rush of joy. He laughed and smiled as he swung higher and higher. He felt the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He felt brilliant. + +Ben and Lily were happy too. They had made a new friend and shared their favorite thing. They swung together until their mom called them to go home. They said goodbye to Sam and gave him a hug.

They looked around and saw the green field and the bright lights. + +"Wow, this is a nice stadium!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is. Do you see the players?" Ben asked. + +Lily nodded. She pointed to the field. She saw some men in red and blue uniforms. They were running and kicking a ball. They looked strong and fast. + +"What are they doing?" Lily asked. + +"They are playing soccer. They are trying to score goals. Do you want to examine the ball?" Ben said. + +He took out a small ball from his backpack. It was also red and blue. He gave it to Lily. She held it in her hands. She felt the smooth and bumpy surface. She bounced it on the ground. She liked the sound it made. + +"Thank you, Ben. This is a nice ball. Can we play with it later?" Lily said. + +"Sure, we can. But first, let's watch the game. Maybe our team will win. Let's cheer for them!" Ben said. + +They put the ball back in the backpack. They clapped their hands and shouted their team's name. They smiled and hugged their dad. They were having fun. They loved the stadium. +Lily and Ben like to play hide and seek. Lily is good at hiding. She can find small spots behind the sofa or under the bed. Ben is not so good at hiding. He is too big for some spots and he makes noise when he moves. + +One day, they play hide and seek in the garden. Lily says, "I will hide and you will seek. Count to ten and then come find me." Ben says, "OK, I will count." He closes his eyes and counts out loud. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!" + +Ben opens his eyes and looks around. He sees the flowers, the trees, the grass, the swing, the slide, the sandbox. He does not see Lily. He thinks, "Where is she? She is good at hiding. Maybe she is behind the tree or under the slide."

He hears a giggle from behind the sandbox. He runs to the sandbox and sees a pink shoe sticking out. He pulls the shoe and reveals Lily. She laughs and says, "You found me! You are good at seeking. That was not an easy spot. I had to squeeze in there." + +Ben says, "You are very good at hiding. You always find the best spots. But I am good at seeking. I always find you. You are my best friend.

You should be kind and helpful. You should work together. You should deliver both packages and letters. You should play with both the aeroplane and the car." + +Tom and Sam listen to Mum.

They should listen to signs and to Ben. They should not be bossy and question everything. They should be nice and respectful. +Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make a club for car lovers. They call it the Speed Club. + +One day, they go to the park with their cars. They find a big hill. They want to see whose car can go faster down the hill. They put their cars at the top of the hill and say "Ready, set, go!" + +The cars start to roll down the hill. They go very fast. Sam and Ben run after them. They cheer for their cars. "Go, go, go!" they shout. + +But then, something happens. One of the cars hits a rock and flies off the hill. It lands in a distant pond.

She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Mom was very mad at Tom. She told him to say sorry to Lily and give her a new doll. She also told him that he had no wisdom.

She took out a big bag of ice cubes. + +"Look, Ben, we can use these to make a snowman!" she said. She dumped the ice cubes on the floor and started to stack them. + +Ben was not sure. He thought the ice cubes were too small and slippery to make a good snowman. He said, "Lily, I don't think this will work. The ice cubes will melt and make a mess. And they are cold and hard. They are not like snow." + +Lily did not listen. She said, "No, Ben, this will be a great snowman. We just need to improve it. We can use a carrot for the nose, and buttons for the eyes, and a scarf for the neck. Come on, help me!" + +Ben sighed. He did not want to hurt Lily's feelings. He said, "Okay, Lily, I will help you. But I don't think this will be a fine snowman." + +They worked together to make the ice cube snowman. They used a carrot, buttons, a scarf, and a hat. They stepped back and looked at their creation. + +Lily was proud. She said, "See, Ben, this is a fine snowman. He is smiling and happy. He is our friend." + +Ben was not impressed.

They turned around and saw their mom. She was angry. She said, "What are you doing? Why did you take out all the ice cubes from the freezer? Why did you make this mess on the floor? This is not a snowman. This is a disaster." + +Lily and Ben were scared. They said, "Sorry, mom. We were bored. We wanted to make a snowman. We tried to improve it. We thought it was fine." + +Mom shook her head. She said, "No, Lily and Ben, this is not fine. This is a waste of ice cubes. And a waste of time. And a waste of food. And a waste of energy. You need to clean up this mess. And then you need to go to your room. And think about what you did." + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They said, "Yes, mom. We are sorry. We will clean up. And we will go to our room. And we will think about what we did." + +They cleaned up the mess. They threw away the ice cubes. They put back the carrot, the buttons, the scarf, and the hat. They wiped the floor. They said goodbye to the ice cube snowman. They did not think he was fine anymore. They thought he was a freezer monster. + +They went to their room. They sat on their bed. They were quiet. They thought about what they did. They did not want to make mom angry again. They did not want to make a freezer monster again. They wanted to make a real snowman. They hoped it would snow soon. They hoped they could improve their snowman skills. They hoped mom would forgive them. They hoped they could play outside soon. They hoped everything would be fine. +Tommy likes to play with his watch. It is shiny and has many buttons. He can make it beep and light up. He wears it on his wrist and feels like a big boy. + +One day, Tommy sees his mom's watch on the table. It is bigger and prettier than his watch. It has a pink band and a shiny face.

You could break it or lose it! That is very naughty!" + +She takes the watch from Tommy and puts it back on the table. She says, "You are punished, Tommy. You cannot play with your watch or any other toys for one hour. You have to sit on the couch and think about what you did." + +Tommy feels very sad and sorry. He does not like to be punished. He does not like to sit on the couch. He thinks his mom's watch is weird. He likes his watch better. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't take your watch again.

Please come back another day." + +Tom and Anna are very disappointed. They want to see the monkey and his friends. They start to cry and whine. They say: "This is not fair. We want to see the show. We don't want to go home." + +Their mom and dad try to calm them down. They say: "We know you are sad, but you have to be patient and understanding. The monkey is sick and he needs to rest. He cannot make you happy if he is not happy himself. Maybe we can see the show another day, or watch something else instead." + +Tom and Anna think about what their mom and dad say. They realize that they are being selfish and rude. They say: "We are sorry, mom and dad. We are sorry, monkey and friends. We hope you get well soon. We will come back another day and be more polite." + +They wipe their tears and smile. They hold their mom and dad's hands and leave the theater. They see other people who are also sad, but they try to cheer them up. They say: "Don't be sad. The show will be back soon. The monkey is jolly and he will make you laugh again." + +The moral of the story is: Be patient and understanding when things don't go your way. Don't be selfish and rude. Think about how others feel and try to make them happy. +Lily and Tom were bored. They wanted to play, but Mom said no. Mom was busy in the kitchen.

They destroyed the cake. + +Mom heard a noise. She came to the fridge. She saw Lily and Tom. She saw the empty box. She saw the crumbs and the cream and the candles. She was angry. She said, "Lily and Tom, what did you do? You ate Dad's cake! You destroyed it! That was a bad thing to do! You are in big trouble!" + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know it was Dad's cake. We thought it was for us. We were hungry. We liked the cake." + +Mom said, "That is no excuse. You should not take things from the fridge without asking. You should not eat other people's food. You should not destroy things. You should say sorry to Dad. And you should help me clean up this mess." + +Lily and Tom said, "We are sorry, Mom.

And this time, no eating!" +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car. The car could make noises and move by itself. Tom and Lily liked to pretend they were driving the car to different places. + +One day, they decided to record their play with a camera. They asked their mom to help them. Their mom said yes, and gave them a small camera. She showed them how to press a button to start and stop the recording.

He realized that he had done something wrong. He felt ashamed. He blinked his eyes and lowered his head. He dropped the brick he was holding and walked away slowly. + +Lily and Ben watched him go. They felt sorry for the dog. He looked sad and lonely.
