+"It's very cold outside," her grandma said with a harsh voice. "I had to call your mom to remind her to bring your jacket." 
+
+Lily smiled, happy that her grandma cared about her. From that day on, Lily always remembered to bring her jacket when she visited her grandma.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a cute teddy bear that she loved to play with every day. One day, Lily's mom asked her to take a bath before dinner. Lily didn't want to leave her stuff behind, including her teddy bear. 
+
+Lily's mom said, "Don't worry, your teddy can come with you. He can bathe too!" Lily was happy to hear this and took her teddy bear with her to the bathroom. 
+
+As they were getting ready for their bath, Lily said to her teddy bear, "I don't want to leave you behind, you're my best friend." 
+
+Her teddy bear replied, "I love you too, Lily. But remember, it's important to take care of ourselves and our stuff. We need to keep clean and healthy." 
+
+Lily understood what her teddy bear was saying and promised to always take care of herself and her stuff. From that day on, Lily made sure to always bathe and keep her stuff clean.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her toys and go to the park with her mom. One day, Lily's uncle came to visit. He was a very serious man and always wore a suit.
+
+Lily was excited to see her uncle and asked him, "What are you going to perform for us today?" Her uncle replied, "I am not going to perform, but I brought you a present." He gave her a toy car and she was very happy.
+
+Later that day, Lily and her uncle went to the park. They played on the swings and had a picnic. Lily's uncle even made silly faces to make her laugh. Lily said, "Uncle, you are not so serious after all!" Her uncle smiled and said, "I can be silly sometimes too." Lily was happy to have such a fun uncle.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play at the park with her friends. One day, they found a big slide and they all wanted to try it. Lily was scared at first, but her friends encouraged her to give it a try. She climbed up the ladder and slid down the slide. It was so much fun!
+
+After playing for a while, Lily noticed that her friend Alex seemed troubled. She asked him what was wrong and he said he lost his favorite toy car. Lily wanted to help, so she and her friends looked for the car. They searched high and low, but they couldn't find it. Just when they were about to give up, Lily touched something under a bush. It was Alex's toy car! He was so happy and grateful to have it back. Lily felt proud that she could help her friend.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. One sunny day, Lily went to her backyard to play. She saw a big hole in the ground and decided to fill it with water. She turned on the hose and watched the water create a pool.
+
+Lily jumped in the pool and splashed around. The water was calm and cool. She felt happy and relaxed.
+
+After a while, Lily got out of the pool and went inside to get a snack. When she came back outside, she saw that her little brother had jumped in the pool too. They played together and had lots of fun in the calm water.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play with her ball and bounce it all around. One day, she was playing outside when a car drove by. The driver was very impatient and honked their horn loudly.
+
+Lily got scared and ran to her mom. "Mommy, the driver is mean and loud!" she said. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. Some people are just in a hurry and forget to be kind."
+
+Later that day, Lily saw the same driver at the store. The driver was in a rush and bumped into an old lady's cart. The lady got upset and said, "Watch where you're going!" The driver just grumbled and walked away.
+
+Lily went up to the old lady and said, "I'm sorry the driver was mean to you. Would you like to play ball with me?" The old lady smiled and said, "That sounds like fun!" So, Lily and the old lady played ball and bounced it all around. They had a great time and forgot all about the impatient driver.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with balls. They have many balls of different colors and sizes. They throw them, kick them, roll them and catch them.
+
+One day, they find a new ball in the park. It is very big and round. It is silver and shiny. It looks like the moon. Tom and Sue are curious. They want to play with it.
+
+"Wow, look at this ball!" Tom says. "It is so shiny! Can we play with it?"
+
+"Sure, let's play with it!" Sue says. "But be careful, it might be heavy."
+
+They try to lift the ball, but it is too heavy for them. They push it, but it is too hard for them. They kick it, but it is too solid for them. They can't make it move.
+
+"Hey, this is not a ball!" Tom says. "This is something else. What is it?"
+
+"I don't know," Sue says. "Maybe it is a zero. A big, shiny zero."
+
+"A zero? What is a zero?" Tom asks.
+
+"A zero is nothing," Sue says. "It is not one, or two, or three. It is just a circle with nothing inside."
+
+"Nothing? That is boring," Tom says. "Why would someone make a zero?"
+
+"I don't know," Sue says. "Maybe they wanted to make something different."
+
+They look at the zero. They touch it. They tap it. They listen to it. But the zero does not make any sound. It is silent.
+
+"Hey, maybe the zero is deaf," Tom says. "Maybe it can't hear us."
+
+"Deaf? What is deaf?" Sue asks.
+
+"Deaf is when you can't hear anything," Tom says. "Like when you cover your ears."
+
+"Really? That is sad," Sue says. "How can the zero have fun if it can't hear anything?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe we can make it happy. Maybe we can show it something."
+
+"Like what?" Sue asks.
+
+"Like the sun!" Tom says. "The sun is bright and warm. The sun can shine on the zero and make it sparkle."
+
+"Good idea!" Sue says. "Let's do that!"
+
+They drag the zero to a sunny spot. They put it under the sun. They watch it glow and shimmer.
+
+"Look, the zero is shining!" Tom says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Sue says. "Maybe it likes the sun. Maybe it can feel the sun."
+
+They smile at the zero. They wave at it. They hope it is happy.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play and sing together. One day, their teacher said they could sing a song on the big stage for the whole school. Lily and Ben were very happy and excited. They practiced their song every day.
+
+The day of the show came. Lily and Ben put on their costumes and waited for their turn. They saw the big stage and the many people. Lily felt scared. She did not want to go on the stage. She wanted to hide.
+
+Ben saw that Lily was scared. He said, "Lily, don't be scared. I am here with you. We can do this. You are a good singer and I am a good singer. We can sing our song and make everyone happy. Remember, we practiced a lot. We know our song very well. And remember, we are best friends. We can help each other."
+
+Lily listened to Ben. She felt a little better. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You remind me to be brave and have fun. I will try to not be scared. I will sing with you."
+
+Lily and Ben held hands and walked on the stage. They smiled and sang their song. The people clapped and cheered. Lily and Ben were very proud and happy. They hugged each other and said, "We did it! We sang on the big stage!"
+
+The moral of the story is: Friends can help each other overcome their fears and achieve their goals.
+Anna likes to play with her hair. She has a pink comb that she uses to make different styles. She can make a ponytail, a braid, or a bun. She thinks her hair is flexible because it can change shape.
+
+One day, she wants to show her comb to her friend Ben. She goes to his house and knocks on the door. Ben opens the door and says hello.
+
+"Hi, Ben. Look at my comb. It is pink and shiny. Do you want to try it?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sure, Anna. Your comb is pretty. Can I make a style for you?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, please. You can choose any style you like." Anna says.
+
+Ben takes the comb and starts to comb Anna's hair. He decides to make a bun for her. He twists her hair and wraps it around. He needs something to hold the bun in place. He looks around and sees a clothespin on the table. He thinks it is a good idea. He grabs the clothespin and clips it on the bun.
+
+"There, Anna. You have a bun now. Do you like it?" Ben says.
+
+Anna feels something hard and sharp on her head. She touches it and finds the clothespin. She does not like it. It hurts her hair and her scalp. She says, "Ow, Ben. What is this? This is not a comb. This is a clothespin. It is not flexible. It is close and tight. It makes my hair and my head hurt. Please take it off."
+
+Ben is surprised. He did not mean to hurt Anna. He thought the clothespin was a good idea. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I did not know it hurts. I wanted to make a bun for you. I thought the clothespin was a comb. I will take it off."
+
+He takes off the clothespin and lets Anna's hair loose. He gives her back the comb and says, "Here, Anna. You can have your comb back. It is pink and shiny and flexible. You can make any style you like. I'm sorry I hurt you. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Anna smiles and says, "It's okay, Ben. You did not mean to hurt me. You wanted to make a bun for me. That was nice of you. But next time, please use a comb, not a clothespin. A comb is better for hair. A clothespin is better for clothes. Yes, we can still be friends. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "Yes, Anna. I want to play with you. What do you want to play?"
+
+Anna thinks and says, "Let's play with your toys. Do you have any toys that are flexible?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, I do. I have a snake, a worm, and a rubber band. They are all flexible. They can bend and stretch and twist. Do you want to see them?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, I do. Let's go to your room and play with them."
+
+They go to Ben's room and play with his flexible toys. They have fun and forget about the clothespin. They are happy and friendly. They like each other. They are good friends.
+One day, a fox was walking in the forest. He was looking for food, but he could not find any. He was very hungry and sad.
+
+He saw a big tree with a hole. He thought maybe there was something to eat inside. He went to the hole and looked in. He saw a bird sitting on a nest. The bird had some worms and berries in her beak.
+
+"Hello, bird," said the fox. "Can I have some of your food? I am very hungry and I have nothing to eat."
+
+The bird was scared of the fox. She thought he wanted to eat her and her eggs. She said, "No, fox, you cannot have my food. This is for me and my babies. Go away, or I will peck you."
+
+The fox was sad. He said, "Please, bird, I am not a bad fox. I will not hurt you or your babies. I just need a little food. Can you share with me? I will be your friend."
+
+The bird looked at the fox. She saw that he was thin and tired. She felt sorry for him. She said, "Well, fox, maybe you are not a bad fox. Maybe you are a generous fox. I will share some of my food with you, but only a little. And you have to promise not to come back to my nest again."
+
+The fox nodded. He said, "Thank you, bird. You are a generous bird. I promise not to come back to your nest again. I will be your friend."
+
+The bird gave the fox some worms and berries. The fox ate them and felt better. He said, "Thank you, bird. You are very kind. Goodbye, bird."
+
+The bird said, "Goodbye, fox. Be careful in the forest. And remember your promise."
+
+The fox left the hole and walked away. He was happy. He had found some food and a new friend. He thought, "Maybe the forest is not so bad after all. Maybe there are more generous animals like the bird."
+Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big red bike that they took turns to ride. Tom was good at riding the bike, but Anna was not. She found it difficult to balance and steer. She often fell and hurt herself.
+
+One day, Tom said to Anna, "I want to ride the bike to the park. You can come with me, but you have to sit on the back and hold on tight. And don't touch the buckle on the seat. It's broken and it might come off."
+
+Anna nodded and climbed on the back of the bike. She wondered why the buckle was broken and what would happen if it came off. She held on tight to Tom's waist and hoped he would be careful.
+
+Tom pedaled fast and soon they reached the park. He saw a big hill and decided to go down it. He thought it would be fun and exciting. He did not ask Anna if she wanted to go down the hill. He did not think about her feelings.
+
+As they went down the hill, the bike went faster and faster. Anna felt scared and tried to tell Tom to stop. But he did not hear her. He was too busy enjoying the ride. He did not notice that the buckle on the seat was loose and wobbly.
+
+Suddenly, the buckle came off and the seat slid forward. Anna lost her grip and fell off the bike. She landed on the grass and rolled over. She was not badly hurt, but she was very upset. She cried and cried.
+
+Tom stopped the bike and ran back to Anna. He saw her crying and felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to make you fall. Are you okay?"
+
+Anna looked at him and said, "No, I'm not okay. You were mean and selfish. You didn't care about me. You only cared about yourself. You didn't listen to me. You didn't respect me. You made me fall and hurt me."
+
+Tom felt ashamed and guilty. He realized that he had been a bad brother. He said, "You're right, Anna. I was mean and selfish. I didn't care about you. I only cared about myself. I didn't listen to you. I didn't respect you. I made you fall and hurt you. I'm sorry, Anna. Please forgive me."
+
+Anna looked at him and saw that he was sincere. She said, "I forgive you, Tom. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will be a good brother from now on. You have to promise me that you will care about me. You have to promise me that you will listen to me. You have to promise me that you will respect me. You have to promise me that you will never make me fall and hurt me again."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I promise, Anna. I promise that I will be a good brother from now on. I promise that I will care about you. I promise that I will listen to you. I promise that I will respect you. I promise that I will never make you fall and hurt me again."
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to walk back home and leave the bike in the park. They did not want to ride it anymore. They learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned that being a good brother or sister means being kind, caring, listening, and respecting. They learned that being a good brother or sister is more important than having fun. They learned that being a good brother or sister is not difficult if you love each other.
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play pirates. They had a big box that they pretended was a ship. They sailed the box to different places and looked for treasure. One day, they found a small island in the park. It had a big tree and some rocks.
+
+"Look, Mia, an island!" Tom said. "Maybe there is treasure there!"
+
+"Let's go and see!" Mia said. They left the box and ran to the island. They searched around the tree and the rocks, but they did not find anything shiny or sparkly.
+
+"This island is fake!" Tom said. "There is no treasure here!"
+
+"Maybe we should go back to the ship," Mia said. "It is getting dark and cold."
+
+But when they turned around, they saw that their box was gone. Someone had taken it while they were on the island. They did not know who it was or where it went.
+
+"Hey, give us back our ship!" Tom shouted. "That is ours!"
+
+But no one answered. Tom and Mia were sad and scared. They had no ship, no treasure, and no way to get home. They wished they had never left the box. They wished they had never found the island. They wished they had listened to their moms and dads, who told them not to go too far. They hugged each other and cried. They hoped someone would find them and help them. But no one came. The end.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with boats. They have a big boat and a small boat. The big boat is red and the small boat is blue. They go to the pond to sail their boats.
+
+They put their boats in the water and watch them sail. The wind makes them go fast. Tim and Sam are happy. They laugh and clap.
+
+But then they see a big black cat. The cat has long fur and sharp teeth. The cat is hungry. It sees the boats and thinks they are fish. It jumps into the pond and swims to the boats.
+
+"Look out!" Tim shouts. "The cat is coming!"
+
+Sam is scared. He tries to get his small boat back. But the cat is faster. It catches the small boat and bites it. The small boat breaks and sinks. Sam cries.
+
+Tim is angry. He throws a stick at the cat. But the cat does not care. It goes to the big boat and bites it too. The big boat breaks and sinks. Tim cries.
+
+The cat is full. It gets out of the pond and walks away. It does not say sorry.
+
+Tim and Sam are sad. They have no boats. They have no fun. They go home. The end.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They see a big tunnel made of wood and metal. They want to go inside and see what is there.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go in the tunnel!" Anna says.
+
+"OK, Anna, but be careful. It looks tight and dark," Ben says.
+
+They crawl into the tunnel. It is tight and dark. They can only see a little bit of light at the other end. They hear some noises. They are scared.
+
+"Anna, what is that?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe it is a big dog or a monster," Anna says.
+
+They want to leave the tunnel. They turn around and crawl back. But they see something blocking the way. It is a big cat. It is angry and hisses at them.
+
+"Help, help, there is a big cat in the tunnel!" Anna and Ben scream.
+
+They are trapped in the tunnel. They cry and hug each other.
+
+A man hears their screams. He runs to the tunnel. He sees the big cat. He shooes it away with a stick. He helps Anna and Ben out of the tunnel.
+
+"Are you OK, kids? That was a mean cat. You should not go in the tunnel. It is not safe," the man says.
+
+"Thank you, mister. We are sorry. We wanted to see what is in the tunnel. We won't do it again," Anna and Ben say.
+
+They run to their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. They hug them and say they love them.
+
+They learn a lesson. They do not go in the tunnel anymore. They play in the park with their friends. They have fun. They are happy.
+Mark was a big boy who liked to listen to stories. Every night, his mom would read him a book before bed. Mark would look at the pictures and ask questions. His mom would tell him what the words meant and what was happening in the story.
+
+One night, Mark wanted to read a story by himself. He picked up a book and opened it. He tried to say the words, but they were hard. He did not know what they meant. He felt sad and frustrated.
+
+"Mom, I can't read this book," he said. "It's too hard for me."
+
+His mom came over and hugged him. "It's okay, Mark," she said. "You are learning to read, and that takes time and practice. You are doing great. I'm very proud of you."
+
+She helped him sound out the words and explained what they meant. She showed him how to look for clues in the pictures and the letters. She praised him when he got a word right.
+
+Mark felt happy and confident. He listened to his mom and tried to read along. He learned some new words and enjoyed the story. He smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you and I love reading."
+Tommy likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He also likes to point at them and say their names.
+
+One day, Tommy sees a big boot in the hall. He thinks it is a new toy for him. He runs to the boot and tries to pick it up. But the boot is too heavy and dirty. Tommy drops the boot and it makes a loud noise. The boot also leaves a brown mark on the floor.
+
+Mommy hears the noise and comes to the hall. She sees the boot and the mark on the floor. She is not happy. She says to Tommy, "That is not your toy. That is Daddy's boot. He wears it to work. You made a mess on the floor. You have to clean it up."
+
+Tommy feels ashamed. He knows he did something bad. He says sorry to Mommy. He gets a cloth and wipes the mark on the floor. He puts the boot back where it belongs. He hugs Mommy and says he will not touch the boot again.
+
+Mommy smiles and hugs Tommy back. She says, "It's okay. I know you were curious. But you have to ask before you touch things that are not yours. And you have to be careful with them. Now, why don't you go and play with your cars? They are your toys and you can have fun with them."
+
+Tommy nods and goes to his room. He plays with his cars and points at them and says their names. He is happy again. He likes his cars and he likes Mommy. He does not like the boot.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a big camera. They used the camera to record their games and stories. They pretended to be heroes and villains, animals and people, and anything they could imagine.
+
+One day, they decided to record a story about a kind hero and a mean dragon. Tom was the hero and Lily was the dragon. They put on costumes and made props. They set up the camera in the garden and started to act.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily roared, pretending to be a dragon. "I am hungry and I want to eat you!"
+
+"Oh no!" Tom said, pretending to be scared. "Please, don't eat me, Mr. Dragon! I am a kind hero and I want to be your friend!"
+
+"Your friend?" Lily asked, pretending to be curious. "Why do you want to be my friend? I am mean and scary!"
+
+"Because you are lonely and sad," Tom said, pretending to be wise. "You have no one to play with or talk to. You only have fire and rocks. But I have toys and books and a camera. I can share them with you, if you are nice to me and to others."
+
+Lily thought for a moment, pretending to be confused. Then she smiled, pretending to be happy. "OK, I will be nice to you and to others. I will not eat you or anyone else. I want to be your friend, too. Can I see your toys and books and camera?"
+
+"Of course you can," Tom said, pretending to be glad. "Come with me, Mr. Dragon. I will show you everything. And we can record more stories together!"
+
+They turned off the camera and ran inside, holding hands. They were very proud of their story. They thought it was the best story ever. They showed it to their mom and dad, who praised them and hugged them. They were very happy. They were kind heroes.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. They wait for spring to come. Spring is when the sun is warm and the flowers grow.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben see a green bud on a tree. They run to the tree and touch the bud. "Look, Ben, a new leaf!" Sara says. "Spring is here!"
+
+Ben smiles and nods. He sees a butterfly appear from behind the tree. The butterfly is yellow and black. It flies around the leaf and lands on Sara's nose. Sara giggles and Ben laughs.
+
+"Hello, butterfly!" Sara says. "Are you ready for spring?"
+
+The butterfly flaps its wings and flies away. Sara and Ben follow it with their eyes. They see more buds, more flowers, and more butterflies. They clap their hands and jump up and down.
+
+"Spring is here! Spring is here!" they shout. "Let's play!"
+Anna liked to design things. She used paper, crayons, scissors and glue to make cards, hats, animals and more. She was very good at it and always had new ideas.
+
+One day, she wanted to design a special card for her grandma, who was sick. She found a shiny penny and thought it would make a nice gift. She glued the penny on the card and drew a heart around it. She wrote "I love you, Grandma" with her best letters.
+
+She was very proud of her card and showed it to her brother, Ben. But Ben was not nice. He said, "That card is silly. A penny is not a gift. Grandma won't like it. Give me the penny, I need it for candy."
+
+He tried to take the penny from the card, but Anna held it tight. She said, "No, Ben, this is my card. I made it for Grandma. She will like it because it is thoughtful. You are mean and greedy. Go away!"
+
+They started to pull and tug on the card, and it ripped in half. The penny fell on the floor. Anna and Ben both cried. They were sad and angry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the ripped card and the penny and asked what happened. Anna and Ben told her their story. Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, kids. You both made a mistake. Anna, you were very thoughtful to design a card for Grandma, but you should have asked before you used the penny. Ben, you were very rude to try to take the penny from Anna, and you should have been more kind to your sister. A penny is not worth more than your family."
+
+She helped them fix the card with some tape and gave them each a new penny. She said, "Now, why don't you both design a new card for Grandma, together? You can use your pennies to make her smile. She will love to see your work and your love."
+
+Anna and Ben agreed. They said they were sorry to each other and hugged. They worked together to design a new card for Grandma, with two pennies and two hearts. They wrote, "We love you, Grandma" and signed their names. They were happy and proud. They hoped Grandma would feel better soon.
+Ben likes to mix things. He likes to mix water and soap to make bubbles. He likes to mix paint and paper to make art. He likes to mix flour and eggs to make cake. But he does not like to mix things that are not his.
+
+One day, Ben sees a pipe in the garden. He wonders what is inside. He pulls the pipe and sees some water come out. He thinks it is harmless. He wants to mix it with something. He looks around and sees some dirt. He thinks dirt is harmless too. He puts some dirt in a bucket and adds some water from the pipe. He stirs it with a stick. He makes mud.
+
+Ben is happy. He likes mud. He wants to make more. He pulls the pipe harder and more water comes out. He adds more dirt to the bucket. He stirs it faster. He makes more mud.
+
+But Ben does not know that the pipe is not for water. The pipe is for gas. The gas is not harmless. The gas is dangerous. The gas can make fire. The gas can make boom.
+
+Mom sees Ben in the garden. She sees the pipe. She sees the gas. She sees the mud. She is scared. She runs to Ben and takes him away. She turns off the pipe. She calls Dad. She tells Ben he was bad. She tells Ben he could get hurt. She tells Ben he should not mix things that are not his.
+
+Ben is sad. He does not understand. He likes to mix things. He did not know the pipe was bad. He did not know the gas was bad. He did not know the mud was bad. He says he is sorry. He says he will not do it again. He hugs Mom. He hugs Dad. He learns a lesson. He only mixes things that are harmless.
+Lily and Tom were having breakfast with Mom and Dad. They liked to eat toast and sausage and eggs. Lily liked to put ketchup on her sausage, but Tom did not. He said ketchup was too red and sticky.
+
+"Can I have some more sausage, please?" Lily asked Mom.
+
+"Sure, honey, here you go," Mom said, and gave her another piece.
+
+Tom watched Lily eat her sausage with ketchup. He thought it looked yucky. He wanted to try something new. He saw a bottle of mustard on the table. He did not know what mustard was, but it looked yellow and fun.
+
+He reached for the bottle and squeezed some mustard on his sausage. He took a big bite and made a face. The mustard was hot and spicy. It burned his mouth and nose. He did not like it at all.
+
+"Yuck! Yuck! Yuck!" he cried, and spit out the sausage.
+
+Mom and Dad looked at him and saw the mustard on his plate.
+
+"Oh, Tom, you tried the mustard," Mom said. "That's very brave of you, but mustard is not for little kids. It's too hot for you."
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Dad said. "Do you want some water to drink?"
+
+Tom nodded and grabbed his cup. He drank some water and felt better. He wiped his mouth with his napkin.
+
+Lily saw Tom and felt sorry for him. She knew he did not like ketchup, but she wanted to share with him.
+
+"Tom, do you want some of my sausage?" she asked. "It has ketchup, but it's not hot. It's sweet and yummy."
+
+Tom looked at Lily and smiled. He was glad she was his sister. He was not worried anymore.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," he said. "I'll try some of your sausage."
+
+He took a bite and liked it. It was not yucky. It was good.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them.
+
+"You two are so sweet," Mom said. "You always help each other."
+
+They finished their breakfast and went to play. They were happy.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with cars and balls. But Tom was spoiled. He always wanted the best car and the biggest ball. He did not like to share with Sam.
+
+One day, they had a race with their cars. Tom had a red car and Sam had a blue car. They ran with their cars on the floor. Sam was faster than Tom. He was going to win the race.
+
+Tom was angry. He did not want Sam to win. He pushed Sam and made him fall. Sam's car flew out of his hand and hit the wall. It broke into pieces.
+
+Sam cried. His car was broken. He loved his car. It belonged to him. He looked at Tom. Tom was smiling. He had his car. He thought he won the race.
+
+But he did not win. He was mean and selfish. He hurt his brother. He made him sad. He did not have a friend. He was alone. He was spoiled.
+Mia and Ben were playing in the farm with their grandpa. They liked to see the animals and feed them carrots and apples. Grandpa had a big mule named Molly. Molly was brown and white and had long ears. Mia and Ben thought Molly was adorable.
+
+One day, Mia and Ben wanted to give Molly a haircut. They found some scissors in the barn and sneaked behind Molly. They tried to cut some of Molly's hair, but Molly did not like it. She kicked and brayed and ran away.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Grandpa shouted. He saw Mia and Ben with the scissors and Molly's hair. He was angry and scared. He took the scissors from them and threw them away. "You could have hurt Molly or yourselves. Cutting is not a game. You have to be careful with sharp things."
+
+Mia and Ben felt sorry. They did not mean to upset Grandpa or Molly. They wanted to make Molly look pretty. They hugged Grandpa and said they were sorry.
+
+Grandpa hugged them back and said he forgave them. He explained that Molly liked her hair the way it was and that cutting it could make her sick or cold. He said they could brush Molly's hair instead and give her a treat. He also said they should always ask before using scissors or other tools.
+
+Mia and Ben nodded and said they understood. They followed Grandpa to Molly and apologized to her too. They brushed her hair gently and gave her a carrot. Molly licked their faces and wagged her tail. She was adorable.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big sign. It said: "Circus coming soon! See the wild animals and the funny clowns!"
+
+Lily and Ben were very excited. They wanted to go to the circus. They asked their moms if they could go.
+
+"Yes, you can go," their moms said. "But you have to wait until Saturday. That's when the circus opens."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They could wait. They believed the circus would be fun.
+
+Every day, they talked about the circus. They wondered what animals they would see. They hoped they would see a lion, a tiger, a monkey, and an elephant. They also wanted to see the clowns. They liked to laugh.
+
+On Saturday, they put on their best clothes. They held their moms' hands. They walked to the park. They saw the big tent. They heard the music. They smelled the popcorn.
+
+They gave their tickets to the man. He smiled and said: "Welcome to the circus! Enjoy the show!"
+
+Lily and Ben ran to their seats. They looked around. They saw the ring. They saw the lights. They saw the people.
+
+They heard a voice. It said: "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the circus is about to begin! Please welcome the wild animals and the funny clowns!"
+
+Lily and Ben clapped their hands. They could not wait. They believed the circus would be amazing.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big hole in the ground. They want to know what is inside.
+
+"Let's go and look," says Anna.
+
+"OK, but be careful," says Ben.
+
+They walk to the hole and peek inside. It is very dark and deep. They hear a strange noise.
+
+"Hello, who is there?" shouts Anna.
+
+"Hello, hello, hello," echoes the noise.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They think there is a monster in the hole.
+
+"Run, run, run!" shouts Ben.
+
+They run away from the hole as fast as they can. They find their mom and dad and tell them what they saw.
+
+"There is no monster in the hole, silly," says mom. "It is just your voice bouncing back. That is called an echo."
+
+"An echo?" says Anna.
+
+"Yes, an echo. It is a clever trick of sound," says dad.
+
+Anna and Ben are amazed. They want to learn more about echoes.
+
+"Can we go back to the hole and try again?" asks Ben.
+
+"Sure, but be careful," says mom.
+
+They go back to the hole and shout different words. They hear them come back to them.
+
+"Wow, this is fun," says Anna.
+
+"Yes, it is," says Ben.
+
+They laugh and play with the echo until it is time to go home. They are happy and curious. They have learned something new.
+Tom and Anna like to play in the park. They see a big pole with a bucket on top. They wonder what is in the bucket. They want to find out.
+
+They climb the pole and reach the bucket. They see water inside. They think it is fun to pour the water out. They pour the water on the grass, on the flowers, and on each other. They laugh and splash.
+
+But they do not see the sign next to the pole. The sign says: "Do not touch. This is for the birds to drink." The sign has a picture of a bird and a water drop. They are ignorant of the sign. They do not know what it means.
+
+A man sees them and gets angry. He runs to the pole and shouts at them. He tells them they are wasting water and hurting the birds. He tells them they are ignorant and naughty. He makes them get down and go away.
+
+Tom and Anna feel sad and sorry. They did not mean to be bad. They just wanted to play. They wish they had read the sign. They wish they had been more careful. They learn a lesson. They decide to be more respectful of the park and the animals.
+Lila and Tom are friends who like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They zoom their cars on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. They make sounds like vroom, beep, and honk.
+
+One day, it rains a lot outside. The rain makes a big flood in the street. The water is high and fast. Lila and Tom watch from the window and see some cars stuck in the flood. They feel sad for the people and the cars.
+
+"Can we help them?" Lila asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know. We are too small and the flood is too big," Tom says.
+
+"Maybe we can share our cars with them. They have no cars to play with now," Lila says.
+
+"That's a good idea. But how can we give them our cars?" Tom says.
+
+They think for a while. Then they have an idea. They put some of their cars in a tight plastic bag. They tie a string to the bag. They open the window and throw the bag outside. They hope the bag will float to the people and the cars in the flood.
+
+"Look, look! They got our cars!" Lila says. She sees some people smiling and waving at them. They see some children playing with their cars on the sidewalk.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" the people shout.
+
+Lila and Tom feel happy. They wave back and say, "You're welcome, you're welcome!"
+
+They learn that sharing is caring. They also learn that they can help others even if they are small. They zoom their cars inside and hope the flood will go away soon.
+Lily loved to sing. She sang every day, in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang to her toys, to her mom, to her dad, and to her cat. She sang happy songs, sad songs, silly songs, and sweet songs.
+
+One day, she saw a dove outside her window. The dove was white and soft and had a shiny beak. Lily thought the dove was adorable. She wanted to sing to the dove, too. She opened the window and said, "Hello, dove. Do you want to hear a song?"
+
+The dove looked at Lily and nodded. It flew closer to the window and listened. Lily sang a song about the sun, the sky, the clouds, and the rain. She sang with a big smile and a loud voice. The dove liked the song very much. It cooed and flapped its wings.
+
+"Thank you, dove. You are a good listener. Do you want to sing with me?" Lily asked.
+
+The dove nodded again. It opened its beak and sang a song back to Lily. It sang a song about the trees, the flowers, the grass, and the wind. It sang with a soft voice and a gentle tone. Lily liked the song very much. She clapped and giggled.
+
+"You are a good singer, dove. You have a beautiful voice. Do you want to be my friend?" Lily asked.
+
+The dove nodded once more. It flew to the window sill and nuzzled Lily's cheek. Lily hugged the dove and said, "You are my friend, dove. You are adorable. I love you."
+
+The dove cooed and nuzzled Lily back. It said, "You are my friend, Lily. You are adorable. I love you, too."
+Lisa and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they get tired and need a nap. Mommy tells them to go to their room and sleep for a little while.
+
+"Can we listen to music, Mommy?" Lisa asks. She likes to hear songs when she sleeps.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. I will put on some music for you. But you have to be quiet and close your eyes, okay?" Mommy says. She gives them a kiss and turns on the radio.
+
+Tom and Lisa lie down on their beds. They hear the music. It is soft and nice. They feel sleepy. They cuddle with their teddy bears.
+
+"Good night, Lisa," Tom says.
+
+"Good night, Tom," Lisa says.
+
+They fall asleep and have sweet dreams.
+
+When they wake up, they feel happy and refreshed. They smell something yummy from the kitchen. Mommy is making cookies for them.
+
+"Come on, Lisa. Let's go get some cookies," Tom says.
+
+They run to the kitchen and hug Mommy. She gives them each a cookie and a glass of milk.
+
+"Did you have a good nap, my loves?" Mommy asks.
+
+"Yes, Mommy. The music was good and the cookies are yummy," Lisa says.
+
+"We love you, Mommy," Tom says.
+
+They eat their cookies and tell Mommy about their dreams. They are a happy family.
+Sara loved to play in the park with her friends. She liked to swing, slide and run. But her favorite thing was to climb the big tree in the corner. The tree was very old and had many branches. Sara felt unique when she was on the tree. She could see the whole park and the sky.
+
+One day, Sara was on the tree when she saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards the tree. Sara was scared. She did not like dogs. She tried to climb down, but the dog was too fast. The dog jumped and bit Sara's leg. Sara screamed and cried.
+
+Her friends heard her and ran to help. They shouted at the dog and threw stones. The dog ran away. Sara's friends hugged her and comforted her. They told her it was okay and that they would get help. Sara was still in pain, but she felt better with her friends.
+
+A man came with a car. He was a doctor. He saw Sara's leg and said he would take her to the hospital. He put a bandage on her leg and lifted her to the car. Sara's friends said goodbye and wished her well. Sara thanked them and smiled.
+
+The doctor drove Sara to the hospital. He was kind and gentle. He told Sara stories and jokes. He said she was brave and strong. He said he liked trees too. He said he had a unique tree in his garden. He said he would show it to her when she was better. Sara felt comforted. She liked the doctor. She hoped to see his tree someday.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big barrel near the trees. It was brown and round and had a hole on the top.
+
+"Let's go see what's inside," Ben said. He ran to the barrel and looked in. He saw something shiny and colorful.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" he shouted. "There are toys and candy and books in here. Come, Lily, come!"
+
+Lily was curious. She followed Ben to the barrel and peeked in. She saw the same things as Ben.
+
+"Who put them here?" she asked. "Maybe someone left them for us. Can we take them?"
+
+Ben nodded. He reached in and grabbed a toy car. He smiled and played with it.
+
+Lily reached in and grabbed a candy bar. She unwrapped it and took a bite. She made a face and spat it out.
+
+"Yuck, this is weird!" she said. "It tastes bad. It's not candy, it's soap!"
+
+Ben looked at his toy car. He pressed a button and it made a loud noise. He jumped and dropped it.
+
+"Ouch, this is weird!" he said. "It hurts. It's not a toy, it's a trap!"
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was a mean man with a big beard and a hat. He was holding a net and a stick.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha!" he laughed. "I got you, you little thieves. You fell for my trick. I put those things in the barrel to lure you in. Now you're mine. I'll sell you to the circus. Come, come, you're coming with me!"
+
+He threw the net over Ben and Lily and dragged them to his truck. They cried and screamed and kicked, but it was no use. The mean man drove away with them.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't take things that don't belong to you. They might be dangerous or have a hidden catch. Be careful of strangers and their tricks. Stay away from weird barrels.
+Anna loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress, and shiny shoes. Anna liked to brush Lily's hair and put lotion on her skin. She said lotion made Lily's skin soft and smooth.
+
+One day, Anna's mom said they were going to visit grandma. Anna was very excite. She liked grandma. Grandma always gave her cookies and hugs. Anna wanted to bring Lily with her. She packed Lily in her backpack and got ready to go.
+
+On the way to grandma's house, Anna's mom stopped at a store. She said she needed to buy some things. She told Anna to stay in the car and be good. She said she would be back soon. Anna nodded and smiled. She opened her backpack and took out Lily. She wanted to play with her.
+
+Anna started to brush Lily's hair and talk to her. She said, "Lily, we are going to see grandma. She is very nice. She will like you. Maybe she will give you a cookie too." Lily did not answer. She was a doll. But Anna pretended she could hear her. She said, "Yes, Lily, I know. You are a good doll. You are my best friend."
+
+Anna reached for the lotion. She wanted to put some on Lily's skin. She thought it would make her look more normal. She did not like that Lily's skin was hard and plastic. She wished Lily had skin like hers. She opened the bottle and squeezed some lotion on her hand. She rubbed it on Lily's face and arms and legs.
+
+But something was wrong. The lotion did not make Lily's skin soft and smooth. It made it sticky and wet. It also made it change color. Lily's skin turned from pink to purple to green. Anna gasped. She did not like this. She tried to wipe off the lotion, but it did not come off. She looked at the bottle. It was not lotion. It was paint. Anna had used the wrong bottle. She had used her mom's paint bottle.
+
+Anna started to cry. She had ruined Lily. She had made her look weird and ugly. She did not know what to do. She heard her mom's voice. She was coming back. She was opening the door. She saw Anna and Lily. She saw the paint. She said, "Anna, what have you done?"
+Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. They had many different colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green, and more.
+
+"Look at my tower, Lily!" Tom said. "It is very tall and has a mark on top. The mark is a star. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily looked at Tom's tower. She did not like it. She wanted to build her own tower. She wanted to make it different from Tom's. She wanted to use only blue blocks. She did not want a mark on top.
+
+"No, I don't like it," Lily said. "It is too tall and the mark is silly. My tower is better. It is blue and has no mark. It is different and pretty."
+
+Tom felt angry. He did not like that Lily did not like his tower. He did not like that Lily said her tower was better. He wanted to show Lily that his tower was better.
+
+He pushed Lily's tower with his hand. He destroyed it. The blue blocks fell down and made a loud noise.
+
+"Hey, stop it!" Lily shouted. "You destroyed my tower! That is not nice! You are mean!"
+
+Lily pushed Tom's tower with her hand. She destroyed it. The red, yellow, green, and star blocks fell down and made a louder noise.
+
+"Ha, ha!" Lily laughed. "Now your tower is gone too! That is what you get for destroying my tower!"
+
+Tom and Lily started to cry. They were both sad and angry. They had no towers to play with. They had no blocks to build with. They had no fun. They had only a mess.

+Ben was enthusiastic about riding his bike. He wanted to go fast and far, like his big sister. But his mom said he had to learn how to be safe first. She gave him a helmet and told him to put it on his head.
+
+"Why do I need a helmet?" Ben asked.
+
+"Because helmets protect your head if you fall," mom said. "You don't want to hurt your head, do you?"
+
+"No, I don't," Ben said. He put on the helmet and buckled it. It felt snug and hard.
+
+"Good job, Ben," mom said. "Now let's go outside and practice. I'll hold your bike while you pedal."
+
+Ben followed mom to the driveway. He got on his bike and started to pedal. Mom held the back of his seat and ran with him. Ben felt the wind in his face and the sun on his back. He was happy and excited.
+
+"Look, mom, I'm riding!" he shouted.
+
+"Yes, you are, Ben," mom said. "You're doing great. But remember to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the handlebars. And don't go too fast or too close to the cars."
+
+"OK, mom," Ben said. He tried to do what mom said. He wanted to learn how to ride well and be safe. He also wanted to have fun. He liked his bike and his helmet. He was enthusiastic about riding his bike.
+Lily and Ben were at the shore with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they saw crabs and fish in the water.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a big shell!" Ben said, holding up his prize. "It has pretty colors and stripes. Do you want to see?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily said, running over to Ben. She took the shell and looked inside. "Wow, it's so shiny and smooth. Can I keep it?"
+
+"Sure, you can keep it. It's a gift for you," Ben said, smiling. He was a good brother.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are very nice," Lily said, hugging him. She put the shell in her bucket.
+

+
+"That's very sweet of you, Ben. And what a beautiful shell, Lily. You can take it home and put it in your room," Mom said.
+
+"I like the shore, Mom. It's fun and pretty and I can see the water and the sky," Ben said.
+
+"I like the shore, too, Ben. And I like spicy chips. They make me happy," Lily said.
+
+"I'm glad you like the shore and the spicy chips, kids. And I'm glad you understand each other and share. You are good kids," Dad said.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and ate their lunch. They loved the shore and they loved their family. They were happy.
+Lily liked to play the violin. She had a small violin that her mom gave her. She learned how to make nice sounds with it. She played it every day in her room.
+
+One day, a big storm came. The wind was loud and scary. The rain was heavy and wet. Lily was scared. She hugged her violin and ran to the living room. She saw her mom and dad there. They looked serious.
+
+"Lily, we have to go to the basement. The storm is very bad. It might break the house," her mom said.
+
+"OK, mom. But can I take my violin?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, honey. It's your violin. You love it. But hurry up. We have to be safe," her dad said.
+
+Lily followed her mom and dad to the basement. They took some blankets and pillows and a flashlight. They made a cozy spot on the floor. Lily played her violin softly. She felt better.
+
+The storm lasted a long time. Lily heard loud noises and flashes of light. She was glad she was with her mom and dad and her violin. They kept her warm and calm.
+
+After a while, the storm stopped. Lily heard a knock on the door. It was a firefighter. He had a big hat and a coat. He looked kind.
+
+"Hello, everyone. Are you OK? We came to rescue you. The storm was very bad. It broke some houses and trees. But you are safe now. You can come out," he said.
+
+Lily, her mom and dad, and her violin came out of the basement. They saw the damage the storm had done. They felt sad. But they also felt lucky. They had each other and they had their violin. They thanked the firefighter for rescuing them. He smiled and said, "You're welcome. And you have a beautiful violin. You play it very well. You are brave and talented."
+
+Lily smiled back. She felt proud and happy. She hugged her violin and played a song for the firefighter. He clapped and cheered. Lily felt like a star.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a cute kite in the park. It was red and blue and had a long tail. They wanted to fly the kite together, but they did not have a string.
+
+"Let's go to the shop and buy a string," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but we have to part the kite first. You take one part and I take the other part. Then we can meet at the shop," Lily said.
+
+They agreed and parted the kite. Tom took the top part and Lily took the bottom part. They ran to the shop, but on the way, they met some other kids.
+
+"Hey, what do you have there?" one kid asked Tom.
+
+"It's a part of a kite. I'm going to buy a string and fly it with my friend," Tom said.
+
+"That's silly. You can't fly a part of a kite. Give it to me. I have a whole kite at home. I'll trade you for this ball," the kid said.
+
+Tom thought the ball looked fun, so he gave the kid his part of the kite and took the ball. He forgot about Lily and the shop.
+
+Meanwhile, Lily met another kid who asked her the same question.
+
+"It's a part of a kite. I'm going to buy a string and fly it with my friend," Lily said.
+
+"That's silly. You can't fly a part of a kite. Give it to me. I have a whole kite at home. I'll trade you for this doll," the kid said.
+
+Lily thought the doll looked cute, so she gave the kid her part of the kite and took the doll. She forgot about Tom and the shop.
+
+Later, Tom and Lily met again at the park. They saw the other kids flying their kite. It was the same kite they had found, but now it was whole.
+
+"Hey, that's our kite!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+"No, it's not. It's ours. We traded you for it. You gave us your parts of the kite. Now we have a whole kite and you have nothing," the other kids said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad and angry. They realized they had made a bad trade. They had lost their kite and their friendship.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and selfish. Share and cooperate with your friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big cross made of wood. It was near some flowers and trees.
+
+"Look, a cross!" Lily said. "Let's go and see it."
+
+They ran to the cross and touched it. It was hard and rough.
+
+"Maybe it is a fake cross," Tom said. "Maybe someone put it here for fun."
+
+He pushed the cross with his hand. It did not move.
+
+"See? It is real. It is stuck in the ground," Lily said.
+
+She pushed the cross too. It still did not move.
+
+They pushed harder and harder. They wanted to make the cross fall.
+
+But the cross was too strong. It did not fall.
+
+They heard a voice behind them.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" the voice said.
+
+They turned around and saw a man. He was wearing a hat and a coat. He looked angry.
+
+"This is my cross. I made it for my garden. It is not fake. It is not for playing. Stop pushing it!" the man said.
+
+Lily and Tom felt scared. They did not know the man. They did not know he owned the cross.
+
+They said sorry to the man. They ran away from the cross. They did not want to push it anymore.
+
+They went back to their mom. She was sitting on a bench. She was reading a book.
+
+"Mom, we saw a cross in the park. It was real. A man made it for his garden. He was mad at us. We pushed it," Lily said.
+
+"Really? That was not nice of you. You should not push things that are not yours. You should respect other people's things. You should say sorry if you make a mistake," mom said.
+
+"We did say sorry, mom. We were just curious. We thought it was fake," Tom said.
+
+Mom hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"I know, my loves. You are still learning. But you have to be careful. Some things are not for playing. Some things are special to someone. You have to ask before you touch them. You have to be polite and kind," mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They understood. They felt sorry for the man and his cross.
+
+They said they would not push it again.
+
+They asked mom if they could play with their ball instead.
+
+Mom smiled and said yes.
+
+They took their ball and went to play.
+
+They had fun with their ball.
+
+They did not push anything else.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a fat cat on the roof of a house. The cat is black and white and has a bell on its neck.
+
+"Look, Sam, a fat cat!" Tim says.
+
+"Wow, how did it get on the roof?" Sam asks.
+
+"Maybe it climbed up a tree," Tim guesses.
+
+They want to talk to the cat. They call out to it.
+
+"Hello, fat cat! What is your name?" Tim speaks.
+
+"Meow, meow, meow," the cat speaks.
+
+"I think it says its name is Meow," Sam speaks.
+
+"Meow, do you want to play with us?" Tim speaks.
+
+"Meow, meow, meow," the cat speaks.
+
+"I think it says yes," Sam speaks.
+
+They run to the house and knock on the door. A lady opens the door. She sees the boys and the cat.
+
+"Hello, boys. Do you like my cat?" the lady speaks.
+
+"Yes, we do. It is a fat cat. What is its name?" Tim speaks.
+
+"Her name is Bella. She likes to sit on the roof and watch the birds. Do you want to pet her?" the lady speaks.
+
+"Yes, please," Sam speaks.
+
+The lady picks up Bella and brings her down. She lets the boys pet her. Bella purrs and rubs her head on them.
+
+"Thank you, lady. Bella is a nice cat," Tim speaks.
+
+"You're welcome, boys. Bella likes you too. You can come and visit her anytime," the lady speaks.
+
+Tim and Sam smile. They say goodbye to the lady and Bella. They go back to their cars and balls. They are happy. They have a new friend.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One night, they heard a loud noise on the roof. They ran to their window and saw a big red sleigh and some reindeer. They were very excited and curious.
+
+"Who is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe it is Santa Claus!" Ben said. "He brings presents to good kids on Christmas Eve."
+
+They wanted to see Santa Claus, so they crept down the stairs to the living room. They saw a big fireplace with a fire burning. They hid behind the sofa and waited.
+
+Soon, they heard another noise. It was a jolly laugh and a thump. They peeked over the sofa and saw a man in a red suit and a white beard. He was holding a big sack. He looked around and smiled.
+
+"Ho ho ho! What a lovely house!" he said. "I wonder where the children are. They must be sleeping in their beds."
+
+He walked to the fireplace and put some presents under the tree. Then he turned to the fireplace and winked.
+
+"I better go now. The reindeer are waiting for me. But remember, kids, always believe in the magic of Christmas. And be good and kind to each other. Merry Christmas!"
+
+He climbed into the fireplace and disappeared. Lily and Ben were amazed and happy. They ran to the tree and looked at the presents. They saw their names on some of them.
+
+"Wow! Santa Claus is real!" Lily said.
+
+"He is! He is!" Ben said. "And he knows our names!"
+
+They hugged each other and laughed. They were not scared anymore. They were grateful and joyful. They believed in Santa Claus and in the magic of Christmas.
+Mia and Leo loved to play at the beach. They liked to make sand castles, splash in the water, and look for shells. One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and yellow and blue, and it had a basket with people inside. Mia and Leo waved at them and shouted hello.
+
+"Wow, look at the balloon!" Mia said. "It can soar so high!"
+
+"I wish we could soar too," Leo said. "Maybe we can find something that can make us fly."
+
+They ran along the shore, looking for something that could help them soar. They saw a big rock, a stick, a crab, and a starfish, but none of them could make them fly. Then they saw something shiny and squishy in the water. It was an octopus.
+
+"Look, Mia, an octopus!" Leo said. "Maybe it can help us soar. It has eight arms, maybe it can lift us up."
+
+"Let's ask it," Mia said. They went closer to the octopus and said hello.
+
+"Hello, octopus," Mia said. "We want to soar like the balloon. Can you help us?"
+
+The octopus looked at them with its big eyes and nodded. It reached out its arms and wrapped them around Mia and Leo. They felt the octopus squeeze them gently.
+
+"Thank you, octopus," Leo said. "You are so nice and soft."
+
+The octopus smiled and started to swim. It took Mia and Leo deeper and deeper into the water. They saw fish and seaweed and coral, but they also saw the light and air fade away.
+
+"Octopus, where are you taking us?" Mia asked. "We can't breathe under the water. We need to go back to the beach."
+
+The octopus did not answer. It kept swimming, holding Mia and Leo tighter and tighter. They felt the octopus squeeze them harder and harder.
+
+"Octopus, please, let us go!" Leo cried. "You are hurting us. You are not nice and soft. You are mean and strong."
+
+The octopus did not listen. It wanted to keep Mia and Leo as its friends. It did not care if they could not breathe or if they were in pain. It did not know that they were delicate and fragile. It did not know that it was killing them.
+Lily was a small girl who liked to pray. Every night, she would kneel by her bed and talk to God. She would thank Him for her family, her friends, and her toys. She would also ask Him to help her be good and to keep her safe.
+
+One night, Lily had a bad dream. She dreamed that a big monster was chasing her and trying to hurt her. She was very scared and wanted to wake up. She cried out for her mommy and daddy, but they did not hear her.
+
+Then, she remembered to pray. She closed her eyes and said, "God, please help me. I am afraid of the monster. Please send me an angel to protect me." As soon as she said that, she felt a warm and gentle touch on her shoulder. She opened her eyes and saw a beautiful angel standing by her bed. The angel had a bright smile and a soft voice. She said, "Lily, do not be afraid. I am here to watch over you. God loves you and hears your prayers. The monster cannot harm you. You are safe with me."
+
+Lily felt a wave of peace and joy in her heart. She hugged the angel and said, "Thank you, God. Thank you, angel. You are so kind and brave. I love you." The angel hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, go back to sleep. I will stay with you until the morning." Lily nodded and snuggled under her blanket. The angel sang a sweet lullaby and stroked her hair. Lily fell asleep with a smile on her face. She knew that God and His angels were always with her.
+Lily liked to play with her toy truck. She drove it on the floor and made loud noises. She pretended it was a big truck that could carry many things.
+
+One day, she saw a real truck on the street. It was very big and shiny. It had a sign that said "Yield". Lily did not know what that word meant. She asked her mom.
+
+"Yield means to let someone go first," her mom said. "The truck is telling the other cars to let it go first, because it is big and heavy and needs more space."
+
+Lily nodded. She thought the truck was smart. It knew how to be safe and polite. She wanted to be like the truck.
+
+She went back to her toy truck. She put a sticker on it that said "Yield". She drove it on the floor and made loud noises. She let her teddy bear go first when they crossed the rug. She smiled. She was a smart truck driver.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to draw pictures with crayons. They have a big wall in their room where they can hang their pictures. They are very proud of their art.
+
+One day, they draw pictures of their favorite animals. Sara draws a cat and Ben draws a dog. They hang their pictures on the wall next to each other. They look at their pictures and smile.
+
+"Your cat is very nice, Sara," Ben says.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. Your dog is very nice, too," Sara says.
+
+They hug each other and go to play with their toys.
+
+But then, Mom comes to their room. She sees their pictures on the wall. She smiles and says, "Wow, you are both very talented. Your pictures are so colorful and cute. I have an opinion. I think you are famous artists."
+
+Sara and Ben are very happy. They jump and clap their hands. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We are famous artists. We love to draw pictures."
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "I love your pictures, too. And I love you both very much."
+Tom and Anna are playing with puzzles. They have many pieces of different shapes and colors. They try to fit them together to make pictures.
+
+"Look, I complete this puzzle!" Tom says. He shows Anna a puzzle of a train. The train has a symbol on it. The symbol is a star. "This is my favorite puzzle. Do you like it?"
+
+Anna nods. She likes trains too. But she likes animals more. She is working on a puzzle of a farm. The farm has many animals: a cow, a pig, a sheep, a horse, and a dog. The dog has a symbol on it. The symbol is a bone. "This is my favorite puzzle. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Tom agrees. He likes animals too. He helps Anna find the pieces for the dog. They work together and complete the puzzle. They are happy.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is their mom. She is calling them for lunch. "Tom! Anna! Come and eat!" she says.
+
+Tom and Anna are alert. They hear their mom. They love lunch. They put their puzzles away and run to the kitchen. They are hungry. They say thank you to their mom and enjoy their food. They are good children.
+Anna likes to sign. She signs with her hands and her face. She signs hello, thank you, hungry, and many other words. She learned to sign from her mom, who is deaf. Anna's mom is very proud of her.
+
+One day, Anna goes to the hospital with her mom. Her mom has to see a doctor. Anna is a little scared, but she is also curious. She sees many people and things in the hospital. She sees nurses, beds, machines, and toys. She thinks the hospital is interesting.
+
+Anna sees a boy in a wheelchair. He looks sad and bored. Anna wants to be his friend. She signs hello to him. The boy does not sign back. He does not understand her. He says, "What are you doing? I can't hear you."
+
+Anna is confused. She does not know why he can't hear her. She thinks he is like her mom. She signs, "I am signing. I sign with my mom. She is deaf. Are you deaf too?"
+
+The boy shakes his head. He says, "No, I am not deaf. I can hear, but I can't walk. I have a broken leg. That's why I am in the wheelchair."
+
+Anna feels sorry for him. She says, "Oh, I am sorry. That must hurt. Do you want to play with me? I have a doll and a book. We can share."
+
+The boy smiles. He says, "Yes, I would like that. Thank you. What is your name?"
+
+Anna says, "I am Anna. What is your name?"
+
+The boy says, "I am Ben. Nice to meet you, Anna."
+
+Anna and Ben become friends. They play and talk and laugh. They forget about their problems for a while. They learn from each other. They think they are both interesting.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals. Lily was a lion and Tom was a monkey. They roared and chattered and jumped around.
+
+But their mother was grumpy. She had a lot of work to do on her laptop. She did not like the noise and the mess. She told them to be quiet and to part their toys. She said they had to share and take turns.
+
+Lily and Tom did not want to part their toys. They wanted to keep playing. They said no to their mother. They said they were having fun. They said they were not loud.
+
+Their mother was very grumpy. She closed her laptop and stood up. She said they had to listen to her. She said they had to part their toys or she would take them away. She said they had to go to their rooms.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They did not want to lose their toys. They did not want to go to their rooms. They said sorry to their mother. They said they would part their toys. They said they would be quiet.
+
+Their mother was less grumpy. She smiled and hugged them. She said she loved them. She said she was sorry too. She said she had a lot of work but she would play with them later. She said they could keep playing but they had to part their toys and be quiet.
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They said they loved their mother. They said they would part their toys and be quiet. They said they would wait for her to play with them later. They went back to their toys and played nicely. They were a lion and a monkey but they were also friends.
+Lily likes to study. She likes to look at books and learn new things. She likes to study animals and plants and colors and shapes. She has a large book with many pictures of animals. She studies the book every day.
+
+One day, Lily wants to see the animals in real life. She asks her mom if they can go to the zoo. Her mom says yes, but they have to take the bus. Lily is excited. She has never taken the bus before. She puts on her coat and shoes and takes her book with her.
+
+They walk to the bus stop. They have to cross a road. The road is large and busy. There are many cars and trucks and bikes. Lily holds her mom's hand and looks both ways. She sees a red car, a blue truck, a yellow bike. She says the colors out loud. Her mom smiles and says she is very smart.
+
+They wait for the bus. Lily sees a big sign with numbers and letters. She asks her mom what it says. Her mom says it is the bus number and the bus name. She says they have to take the bus number 12, the zoo bus. Lily tries to say the number and the name. She says "twelve, zoo". Her mom says she is very good.
+
+The bus comes. It is large and green. It has a picture of a lion on the side. Lily likes the lion. She points to it and says "lion". Her mom says yes, it is a lion. They get on the bus and find a seat. Lily looks out the window. She sees more roads and more cars and more signs. She studies them and says the colors and the shapes. She is happy. She is going to the zoo. She is going to see the animals. She is going to study more.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with many colors and pictures on it. The truck said "Ice Cream". Lily and Ben liked ice cream very much. They ran to the truck and asked for some.
+
+The man in the truck gave them each a cone with a scoop of ice cream. Lily chose chocolate and Ben chose vanilla. They licked their ice cream and smiled. It was cold and sweet and yummy.
+
+But then, Lily noticed something unusual. Her ice cream had a strange taste. It was not like chocolate at all. It was spicy and hot and made her tongue hurt. She did not like it. She said to Ben, "Ben, stop! This ice cream is bad. It tastes funny. Try it and see."
+
+Ben took a bite of Lily's ice cream. He made a face and spit it out. He agreed with Lily. It was bad. He said to Lily, "Lily, you are right. This ice cream is bad. It tastes like pepper. Why did the man give us this?"
+
+They looked at the truck again. They saw a sign that said "Special Ice Cream: Chocolate Chili Flavor. Try it if you dare." They realized they had made a mistake. They had chosen the wrong ice cream. They did not dare to try it. They threw their cones in the trash and ran away. They decided to play somewhere else. They did not want any more ice cream that day.
+Tim and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big tree with open fruits. The fruits are red and round. They look yummy.
+
+"Can we eat them?" Lily asks Tim.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are good. Maybe they are bad." Tim says.
+
+They pick some fruits and take a bite. The fruits are sweet and juicy. They eat more and more.
+
+"Yum, yum, yum!" they say.
+
+But then, they start to feel funny. Their mouths and throats are hot and sore. Their skin is red and bumpy. They have an itch all over.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" they cry.
+
+They run to their mom, who is sitting on a bench. She sees them and gets worried.
+
+"What happened to you?" she asks.
+
+"We ate some fruits from the tree. They were yummy, but then they made us itch." Tim says.
+
+"Those are not fruits, those are peppers. They are spicy and can make you allergic. You should not eat things you don't know." mom says.
+
+She gives them some water and some cream. She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. We were hungry and curious." Lily says.
+
+"It's okay, my loves. But next time, ask me first. I will tell you what is good and what is bad." mom says.
+
+They nod and say sorry. They learn their lesson. They don't eat peppers again.
+Ben likes to bake with Mom. He helps her put flour, sugar, eggs and butter in a big bowl. Then Mom turns on the mixer. The mixer makes a loud noise and makes the bowl shake. Ben likes to watch the mixer go round and round.
+
+But today, Ben is feeling naughty. He wants to touch the mixer. He thinks it looks fun and flexible. He waits until Mom goes to get the baking pan. Then he climbs on a chair and reaches for the mixer.
+
+"Ben, no!" Mom shouts. She runs back to the kitchen and sees Ben holding the mixer. The mixer is still on and it is making a big mess. Flour and butter are flying everywhere. Ben is scared and drops the mixer. It falls on the floor and breaks.
+
+Mom is angry and sad. She tells Ben to lie down on the couch. She says he is in trouble and he has to stay there until she cleans up. Ben feels sorry and says he is sorry. He lies down on the couch and cries. He wishes he had listened to Mom. He does not like the mixer anymore.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their bows and arrows. They make them from sticks and strings and feathers. They pretend to be hunters and warriors in the forest. They race each other to see who can shoot their arrows the farthest.
+
+One day, they find a big hill with a lot of rocks and trees. They think it is a good place to play. They climb up the hill and look for targets. Tom sees a bird on a branch and aims his arrow. Mia sees a rabbit on the ground and aims her arrow. They count to three and let go of their strings.
+
+"Whoosh!" The arrows fly through the air. Tom's arrow misses the bird and hits a rock. Mia's arrow misses the rabbit and hits a tree. They run to see where their arrows landed.
+
+"Look!" Mia says. "My arrow is stuck in the tree. It is very high. I can't reach it."
+
+"Look!" Tom says. "My arrow is broken. It hit the rock and split in two. It is very bad. I can't fix it."
+
+They are both sad. They like their arrows. They made them with their own hands. They are unique. They don't want to lose them or break them.
+
+They hug each other and try to cheer up. They decide to make new arrows from different sticks and strings and feathers. They look for the best materials in the forest. They work hard and have fun. They make new arrows that are even more unique and beautiful than before. They are happy again. They race each other to see who can shoot their new arrows the farthest.
+Sam and Kim were friends who liked to play doctor. They had a toy kit with a stethoscope, a bandage, and a pretend x-ray machine. One day, they decided to x-ray their teddy bears to see what was inside them.
+
+"Let me go first," said Sam. He put his brown bear on the table and pressed a button. The x-ray machine made a beep and a picture came out. It showed the bear's bones and stuffing. "Wow, look at this!" said Sam. "My bear has a big heart and a small nose."
+
+"My turn, my turn," said Kim. She put her white bear on the table and pressed the button. The x-ray machine made a beep and a picture came out. It showed the bear's bones and stuffing, but also something else. It was a shiny coin. "Oh no, what is this?" said Kim. "My bear has a coin in his tummy!"
+
+Sam and Kim were worried. They thought the coin might hurt the bear. They did not know what to do. They decided to ask their mom for help. They ran to the kitchen with the x-ray picture and the bear.
+
+"Mom, mom, look at this!" said Kim. She showed her mom the picture and the bear. "My bear has a coin in his tummy! Is he sick? Will he be okay?"
+
+Mom looked at the picture and the bear. She smiled and hugged Kim. "Don't worry, sweetie," she said. "Your bear is not sick. He is harmless. The coin is harmless too. It won't hurt him. He just swallowed it by accident. Maybe you left it on the bed and he thought it was a snack."
+
+"Really?" said Kim. She felt relieved. She hugged her bear and kissed him. "I'm sorry, bear. I didn't mean to give you a coin. I love you."
+
+Mom smiled again. She took the coin out of the bear's tummy with a needle and a thread. She sewed him back up and gave him to Kim. "There you go," she said. "Your bear is fine now. He is as good as new. But remember, coins are not for eating. They are for saving or spending. Only eat food that is good for you and your bear."
+
+Sam and Kim nodded. They thanked their mom and went back to their room. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful with their toys and their money. They also learned that x-rays are fun and useful, but not always necessary. They played doctor again, but this time they only used the stethoscope and the bandage. They had fun and they were happy.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toy guns. They had many guns of different colors and sizes, but Ben's favorite was a big red one that could shoot far and make loud noises. Sam was envious of Ben's gun and wanted to have it for himself.
+
+One day, when Ben was not looking, Sam took the red gun and ran away. He hid behind a tree and waited for Ben to come looking for him. He wanted to shoot Ben with the red gun and make him cry.
+
+Ben soon noticed that his gun was missing and saw Sam's foot behind the tree. He ran towards him and shouted, "Sam, give me back my gun! That's not fair!"
+
+Sam jumped out from behind the tree and pointed the red gun at Ben. He pulled the trigger and laughed, "No, it's mine now! You can't have it!"
+
+But nothing happened. The red gun did not shoot or make any noise. Sam looked confused and tried to pull the trigger again, but still nothing happened. He did not know that Ben had taken out the batteries from the red gun before he left it on the floor.
+
+Ben saw that Sam's gun was not working and smiled. He took out his own gun, a small blue one, and aimed at Sam. He said, "Sam, you should not be envious of what others have. You should be happy with what you have. And you should not take things that are not yours. That's not nice!"
+
+He pulled the trigger and the blue gun shot a stream of water at Sam. Sam got wet and cold and started to cry. He dropped the red gun and ran to find shelter under a porch. He felt sorry for what he had done and wished he had not been so envious.
+
+Ben followed him and gave him a hug. He said, "Sam, I'm sorry I shot you with water. I was angry that you took my gun. But I still love you. You are my brother. Do you want to share my gun with me?"
+
+Sam nodded and hugged him back. He said, "Ben, I'm sorry I took your gun. I was jealous that you had a better gun than me. But I still love you. You are my brother. Thank you for sharing your gun with me."
+
+They both smiled and went back to play with their guns. They learned that being envious is not good and that sharing is better. They had more fun when they played together.
+Mia and Ben are friends. They like to play in the library. They like to look at the books on the bookcase. They like to find books with pictures and stories.
+
+One day, Mia sees a book with a lovely cover. It has a princess and a dragon on it. She wants to read it. She takes it from the bookcase. She says to Ben, "Look, Ben, I found a lovely book. Do you want to join me and read it?"
+
+Ben nods. He likes princesses and dragons. He joins Mia on the floor. They open the book. They see the words and the pictures. They try to read the book.
+
+But the book is not a lovely book. It is a scary book. It has a mean witch and a big spider on it. The witch and the spider want to catch the princess and the dragon. They make noises and spells. They jump out of the book.
+
+Mia and Ben are scared. They scream. They drop the book. They run away. They bump into the librarian. The librarian is angry. She sees the book on the floor. She sees the witch and the spider on the book. She says to Mia and Ben, "What have you done? You have opened a magic book. You have let out the witch and the spider. They will make trouble in the library. You are bad children. You have to leave the library and never come back."
+
+Mia and Ben are sad. They say sorry to the librarian. They say sorry to the book. They say sorry to the princess and the dragon. They leave the library. They do not have the lovely book. They do not have the library. They do not have each other. They have a bad ending.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to decorate things. They had many stickers, crayons, and glitter to make their drawings and crafts look pretty. One day, they found a big cardboard box in the garage and decided to turn it into a castle.
+
+They cut out windows and a door, and drew bricks and flags on the walls. They used stickers to make flowers and stars, and glitter to make the roof sparkle. They were very proud of their castle and wanted to show it to their mom.
+
+But when they went to get their mom, they saw that their dog, Spot, had found their castle too. Spot liked to chew on cardboard, and he had ripped a big hole in one of the walls. He had also knocked over their glitter jar and made a mess on the floor.
+
+Lily and Max were very angry and sad. They yelled at Spot and tried to fix their castle, but it was too late. Their mom came and saw what had happened. She asked them what was wrong.
+
+"Spot ruined our castle!" Lily cried. "We worked so hard to decorate it, and he just destroyed it!"
+
+"That's not nice of Spot, but he didn't know any better. He's just a puppy, and he likes to play with things. Maybe you should have put your castle somewhere he couldn't reach it," their mom said.
+
+"But we wanted to surprise you, mom. We wanted to show you our castle and how pretty it was," Max said.
+
+"I'm sure it was very pretty, and I'm sorry you didn't get to show me. But you know what? I don't need to see your castle to know how creative and talented you are. I love you both very much, and I'm proud of you for making something so fun. And I'm also proud of you for telling me the truth about what happened. That's very brave and honest of you," their mom said.
+
+She hugged them and kissed them, and then helped them clean up the mess. She also gave Spot a bone to chew on, so he wouldn't bother their things again. Lily and Max felt better, and they decided to make another castle another day. They knew that even if things went wrong, their mom would always love them and think they were fine.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with their toys and make up stories. One day, they pretend to be a team of doctors and nurses. They have a big box of bandages, stickers and pretend tools.
+
+They find a teddy bear that has a rip in its ear. Sara says, "Oh no, this teddy is hurt. We need to heal it." Ben nods and says, "Yes, we are a good team. We can help the teddy." They take the teddy to their pretend hospital and put it on a bed.
+
+Sara gets a bandage and wraps it around the teddy's ear. She says, "There, this will make the teddy feel better." Ben gets a sticker and puts it on the teddy's nose. He says, "This is a special sticker. It has magic powers. It will make the teddy happy." They both smile and hug the teddy.
+
+They hear a noise outside. They look out the window and see a big truck. The truck has a lot of animals on it. They are going to the zoo. Sara and Ben are curious. They want to see the animals.
+
+They run outside and follow the truck. They see lions, monkeys, giraffes and more. They are amazed. They see one animal that is very unusual. It has a long neck, a big body and spots. They have never seen it before. They ask a man, "What is that animal?"
+
+The man says, "That is a camel. It lives in the desert. It can go a long time without water. It is very strong and smart." Sara and Ben are impressed. They say, "Wow, a camel. It is so cool. Can we touch it?"
+
+The man says, "Sure, you can touch it. But be careful, it might spit." Sara and Ben giggle. They go to the camel and pet it. The camel is soft and warm. It makes a funny noise. Sara and Ben laugh. They say, "We like the camel. It is our new friend."
+
+They go back to their pretend hospital. They bring the camel with them. They say, "We have a new patient. It is a camel. It needs some bandages, stickers and love." They heal the camel and make it happy. They are a good team. They have fun. The end.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to paint. They had many colors and brushes and papers. They painted flowers and animals and houses and cars. They had fun and made pretty pictures.
+
+One day, they wanted to paint something new. They saw a big tap in the garden. It was shiny and silver and had water inside. They thought it would be fun to paint the tap. They took their colors and brushes and ran to the garden.
+
+But the tap was dangerous. It was not for painting. It was for watering the plants and filling the buckets. If they painted the tap, they would make a mess and waste the water. And the water could hurt them if it was too hot or too cold or too strong.
+
+"Let's paint the tap red!" said Tom.
+
+"No, let's paint it blue!" said Lily.
+
+They started to argue and fight. They did not listen to each other. They did not see their mom coming.
+
+"Stop!" said mom. "What are you doing? You cannot paint the tap. It is dangerous and wrong. You will ruin the tap and the garden. And you will hurt yourselves and each other. You should be careful and respectful. And you should share and cooperate. Painting is for making nice things, not for making trouble."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They put down their colors and brushes. They said sorry to mom and to each other. They helped mom clean the tap and the garden. They learned their lesson. They promised to be good and to paint only on papers. They hugged mom and each other. They were happy again.
+Lily and Ben were playing with cubes. They liked to make towers and bridges with them. Lily had a red cube and Ben had a blue cube. They wanted to swap their cubes, but they did not know how to ask.
+
+"Can I have your cube?" Lily said, pointing to Ben's blue cube.
+
+"No, this is my cube!" Ben said, holding his cube tight.
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted to play with the blue cube. She thought of an idea. She held out her red cube to Ben and said, "Do you want this cube?"
+
+Ben looked at Lily's red cube. He liked the red cube too. He was confused. He wanted both cubes, but he only had two hands. He did not know what to do.
+
+Lily smiled and said, "We can share. You can have my red cube and I can have your blue cube. Then we can swap again later."
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He liked Lily's idea. He nodded and said, "OK, we can share."
+
+They offered their cubes to each other and swapped. They were happy. They played with their new cubes and made new towers and bridges. They had fun.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had a big case with many dolls and clothes and shoes. She liked to dress them up and make them talk. She did not like to share her dolls with her brother Tom.
+
+Tom liked to play with cars and trucks. He had a big box with many cars and trucks and roads and bridges. He liked to zoom them around and make them crash. He did not like to play with dolls.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom were home alone. Their mom had to go to the store and their dad had to go to work. They told them to be good and not to fight. Lily and Tom said yes, but they did not mean it.
+
+Lily went to her room and opened her case. She took out her favorite doll, Anna, and put on her pink dress and shoes. She brushed her hair and made her smile. She said, "You are so pretty, Anna. Let's have a tea party."
+
+Tom went to his room and opened his box. He took out his favorite truck, Max, and put on his big wheels and horn. He pushed him around and made him roar. He said, "You are so cool, Max. Let's have a race."
+
+Lily and Tom ignored each other. They did not want to play together. They did not want to talk to each other. They did not want to be friends.
+
+But they did not know that their mom and dad had a surprise for them. They had bought them a new toy to share. It was a big train set with many tracks and trains and stations. It was in the living room, wrapped in a shiny paper and a bow.
+
+When their mom and dad came back, they called them to the living room. They said, "We have a surprise for you. We hope you like it. It is for both of you to play together."
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the living room. They saw the big package and their eyes grew wide. They tore the paper and the bow and saw the train set. They gasped and smiled. They said, "Wow! Thank you! Thank you! This is awesome!"
+
+They forgot about their dolls and cars and trucks. They forgot about their case and box. They forgot about ignoring each other. They started to play with the train set. They made the trains go fast and slow, stop and go, whistle and chug. They made the stations busy and quiet, happy and sad, big and small. They made stories and jokes and fun.
+
+They played together. They talked to each other. They became friends.
+
+Their mom and dad watched them and smiled. They said, "We are glad you like the surprise. We are proud of you. You are good children."
+
+Lily and Tom hugged them and said, "We love you. We love the surprise. We love each other."
+
+They did not know that they had been foolish to ignore each other. They did not know that they had missed a lot of fun. They did not know that they had learned a lesson.
+
+But they did not care. They were happy. They had a train set.

+
+"Hello, dog. What is your name?" Sara asks.
+
+The dog barks and licks Sara's hand. He likes Sara.
+
+"Can I pet your leg?" Ben asks.
+
+The dog nods and lets Ben touch his leg. He likes Ben too.
+
+"You are a gentle dog. Do you have a home?" Sara wonders.
+
+The dog shakes his head and looks sad. He does not have a home. He does not have an owner.
+
+Sara and Ben feel sorry for the dog. They want to help him.
+
+"Maybe we can own you. We can be your owners. We can take you to our house and give you food and water and toys. Would you like that?" Ben suggests.
+
+The dog barks and wags his tail. He would like that very much.
+
+Sara and Ben hug the dog and take him to their house. They ask their mom and dad if they can keep the dog. Their mom and dad say yes. They are happy to have a new family member.
+
+Sara and Ben name the dog Spot. They love Spot and Spot loves them. They are a happy family.
+Lily likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls with long hair. She likes to comb their hair and make them pretty. She has a pink comb and a blue comb.
+
+One day, Lily wants to give her dolls a bath. She fills a big bowl with water. She takes her dolls to the bowl. She pours water on their hair. She says, "Shh, shh, it's okay. You will be clean and shiny."
+
+But Lily pours too much water. The water spills out of the bowl. The water makes the floor wet. The water makes Lily's feet wet. Lily says, "Oh no, oh no. What a mess!"
+
+Lily's mom hears Lily. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the water and the dolls and the combs. She says, "Lily, what are you doing? You made a big puddle. You can't pour water on the floor. You have to be careful."
+
+Lily feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to wash my dolls. I like to comb their hair. But I poured too much water. I didn't mean to make a mess."
+
+Lily's mom smiles. She says, "It's okay, Lily. I know you love your dolls. But next time, you have to ask me before you use water. And you have to use a towel to dry your dolls and the floor. Come on, let's clean up together."
+
+Lily nods. She says, "Okay, mom. Thank you for helping me. I will be more careful next time." She hugs her mom and her dolls. She picks up her combs. She helps her mom to dry the floor. She is happy.
+Lily was very tired. She wanted to sleep, but Mom said no. Mom said she had to do her homework. Lily hated homework. It was stupid and hard. She yawned and looked at the window. She saw a big bird outside. It was blue and yellow and had a long tail. Lily liked the bird. She wanted to play with it.
+
+She got up from her chair and went to the window. She opened it and called the bird. The bird looked at her and flew closer. Lily smiled and reached out her hand. She wanted to touch the bird. But the bird was not nice. It bit her finger and made a loud noise. Lily screamed and let go of the window. The window slammed shut and broke. Glass fell on the floor and cut Lily's feet. Lily cried and cried. Mom heard her and ran to the room. She saw the blood and the glass and the bird. She was very angry and scared. She yelled at Lily and took her to the hospital. Lily was sorry and sad. She wished she had done her homework.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see a big pile of hay. They want to jump on it.
+
+"Let's get on the hay!" Sara says. "It looks fun!"

+
+They climb on the hay. They laugh and bounce. They make hay angels. They have a good time.
+
+But then, they hear a loud moo. They look and see a big cow. The cow is angry. The hay is her food. She does not like Sara and Ben on it.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Sara says. "The cow is mad at us!"
+
+"Let's get off the hay!" Ben says. "She might chase us!"
+
+They jump off the hay. They run to the fence. They are safe. The cow stops and eats the hay. She is happy.
+
+"Wow, that was scary!" Sara says. "But also fun!"
+
+"Yes, it was!" Ben says. "But next time, let's be more careful!"
+Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new places. One day, she found a big box in the garage. She wondered what was inside. She asked her mom if she could open it.
+
+"Please, mom, can I see what is in the box?" she said.
+
+"Sure, honey, but be careful. It might be dusty or heavy," her mom said.
+
+Lily opened the box and saw many things. She saw books, toys, clothes, and pictures. She picked up a picture and saw a boy and a girl smiling. They looked like her mom and dad when they were young.
+
+"Who are they, mom?" she asked.
+
+"They are your grandparents, Lily. They were adventurous too. They traveled to many countries and learned many things. They gave me this box when I was your age. It has some of their memories and treasures," her mom said.
+
+"Wow, they are cool. Can I keep some of their things, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, Lily. You are welcome to have anything you like. They would be happy to share with you. Maybe you can make your own memories and treasures with them," her mom said.
+
+Lily hugged her mom and thanked her. She was excited to play with the things in the box. She felt like she was going on an adventure with her grandparents. She hoped to be like them when she grew up.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and a big bed. But sometimes they were naughty and did not listen to Mommy and Daddy.
+
+One day, Mommy and Daddy told them to take a nap after lunch. They said they were tired and needed to rest. Ben and Lily said yes, but they did not want to sleep. They wanted to have fun.
+
+When Mommy and Daddy left the room, Ben and Lily jumped out of their bed and crawled under it. They found a flashlight and turned it on. They pretended they were explorers in a dark cave. They saw many things under the bed: a ball, a sock, a spider, a shoe.
+
+"Look, Lily, a spider!" Ben said, pointing at the sight.
+
+"Wow, Ben, it is big and hairy!" Lily said, moving closer to see.
+
+They did not hear Mommy and Daddy coming back to check on them. They opened the door and saw the empty bed and the flashlight shining under it.
+
+"Ben, Lily, what are you doing?" Mommy asked, looking under the bed.
+
+"Hi, Mommy, we are explorers!" Ben said, smiling.
+
+"We found a spider!" Lily said, holding it in her hand.
+
+Mommy and Daddy were not happy. They took the spider and the flashlight and told Ben and Lily to come out. They said they were naughty and they had to sleep now. They tucked them in and turned off the light.
+
+"Sorry, Mommy, sorry, Daddy," Ben and Lily said, feeling sorry.
+
+"Next time, listen to us and do as we say," Mommy and Daddy said, kissing them goodnight.
+
+Ben and Lily closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of spiders and caves and adventures. They still liked to play, but they also learned to obey.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with puzzles. They had many puzzles with animals, cars, and flowers. One day, they saw a new puzzle at the store. It was a big puzzle with a castle and a dragon. Anna and Ben wanted to buy the puzzle, but it was too expensive.
+
+"Can we pay for the puzzle, Mom?" Anna asked her mom.
+
+"Sorry, honey, we don't have enough money for the puzzle. Maybe another time," her mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben were sad. They really wanted the puzzle. They decided to save their money and come back later.
+
+They did chores at home and helped their neighbors. They put their money in a jar. After a few weeks, they had enough money for the puzzle. They were very happy.
+
+They went to the store with Anna's mom. They looked for the puzzle, but they could not find it. They asked the store lady.
+
+"Where is the puzzle with the castle and the dragon?" Ben asked.
+
+"Oh, I'm sorry, we sold the last one yesterday. It was very popular," the store lady said.
+
+Anna and Ben were shocked. They could not believe it. They had worked so hard to save their money, and now the puzzle was gone.
+
+They felt like crying. They did not want any other puzzle. They wanted the castle and the dragon.
+
+They left the store with empty hands and sad faces. They did not talk to each other. They did not play with puzzles anymore. They were too shy to make new friends. They lost their interest in everything.
+
+They never found the puzzle with the castle and the dragon. They never had fun again. The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Ben had a blue mug that he liked to fill with water and drink from. Lily had a pink mug that she liked to use as a hat.
+
+"Look at me, Ben, I'm a princess!" Lily said, putting the pink mug on her head. "You can be my prince!"
+
+Ben smiled and nodded. He picked up his blue mug and pretended to toast with Lily. "To the princess and the prince!" he said.
+
+They clinked their mugs together and drank. But Ben's mug had a crack in it and the water spilled out. It wet his shirt and his pants and the floor. Ben was shocked and sad. He dropped his mug and started to weep.
+
+Lily saw Ben crying and felt sorry for him. She took off her pink mug and gave it to him. "Here, Ben, you can have my mug. It's not broken. Don't cry, please."
+
+Ben looked at Lily and stopped weeping. He took her mug and hugged her. "Thank you, Lily, you are very nice. I'm sorry I wet the floor."
+
+Lily hugged him back. "It's okay, Ben, it was an accident. We can use a towel to make it dry. Come on, let's go get one."
+
+They went to the kitchen and found a big towel. They used it to wipe the floor and their clothes. Then they went back to the living room and continued to play. They shared the pink mug and had more fun. They were happy and forgot about the broken blue mug.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. They had a big box of toys in their room, but they always wanted more. One day, their mom said she had a surprise for them. She told them to close their eyes and wait in the living room.
+
+Lily and Max were very excited. They wondered what the surprise could be. Maybe a new doll or a car or a book or a puzzle. They closed their eyes and waited. They heard their mom go to the garage and come back with something heavy.
+
+"Okay, you can open your eyes now," their mom said. Lily and Max opened their eyes and saw a big, shiny bike. It had two wheels, a bell, a basket and a seat for each of them. It was red and blue, their favorite colors.
+
+"Wow!" Lily and Max said. "A bike! For us?"
+
+"Yes, a bike for you," their mom said. "Do you like it?"
+
+"We love it!" Lily and Max said. They ran to hug their mom and thank her. They were very happy and polite.
+
+"Can we ride it now?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but first you have to put on your helmets and your shoes," their mom said. "And be careful, okay?"
+
+"Okay, mom," Lily and Max said. They put on their helmets and their shoes and followed their mom to the backyard. There, they saw their dad waiting for them. He had another surprise for them. He revealed a big cake with candles and balloons. It was their birthday!
+
+"Happy birthday, Lily and Max!" their dad said. "We have a bike and a cake for you!"
+
+"Yay!" Lily and Max said. They blew out the candles and ate the cake. They shared it with their mom and dad. They were very happy and polite.
+
+Then, they rode their bike around the yard. They rang the bell, put flowers in the basket and took turns on the seat. They had a lot of fun. They loved their bike and their cake and their mom and dad. They had the best birthday ever.
+Tim and Sue wanted to make a cake for Mom's birthday. They found a recipe in a book and got all the things they needed. They put flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk in a big bowl. Then they had to stir everything very well.
+
+"Can I stir, please?" Sue asked. She was the younger sister and liked to help.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't spill anything," Tim said. He was the older brother and liked to be in charge.
+
+Sue took the big spoon and started to stir. She stirred and stirred, but it was hard. The bowl was heavy and the spoon was big. She tried to stir faster, but then she lost her grip. The bowl tipped over and the cake mix spilled all over the table and the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Tim and Sue cried. They looked at the mess and felt very sad. They had ruined the cake and Mom's birthday.
+
+They heard Mom coming up the stairs. They were afraid she would be angry. They quickly grabbed some towels and tried to clean up. But it was too late. Mom opened the door and saw what had happened.
+
+"What's going on here?" Mom asked. She looked surprised and confused.
+
+Tim and Sue hung their heads and told her the truth. They wanted to make a cake for her birthday, but they spilled everything. They said they were sorry and hoped she was not mad.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said she was not mad at all. She said she was very proud of them for trying to do something nice for her. She said they were very brave to admit their mistake and try to fix it. She said they could still make a cake together, but they had to follow some rules. She said they had to measure the ingredients, use a smaller bowl and spoon, and stir slowly and gently.
+
+Tim and Sue nodded and agreed. They thanked Mom for being so kind and forgiving. They learned that making a cake was a journey that required patience and care. They also learned that being brave meant being honest and responsible. They were happy to have Mom as their teacher and friend. They made a new cake and it was delicious. Mom had the best birthday ever.
+Lily and Tom like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys with many things. They have cars, dolls, balls, blocks and a ship. The ship is brown and has a sail and a flag. Lily and Tom pretend the ship is on the sea and they are pirates.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom find a map in the box. The map has a picture of an island with a big X on it. Lily and Tom think the X is a treasure. They want to find the treasure with their ship. They put the map and the ship on the floor and start to play.
+
+They move the ship on the floor and follow the map. They make sounds like the wind and the waves. They say "Ahoy, matey!" and "Shiver me timbers!" They have fun. But then they see a problem. The map says the island is near a big rock. But there is no rock on the floor. Lily and Tom look around and see nothing.
+
+They are sad. They do not understand. Where is the rock? Where is the island? Where is the treasure? They want to play more, but they do not know what to do. They sit on the floor and look at the map and the ship.
+
+Then, Mom comes in the room. She sees Lily and Tom and their toys. She smiles and says "What are you doing, my little pirates?" Lily and Tom show Mom the map and the ship. They tell Mom they are looking for a treasure, but they cannot find the rock or the island. Mom looks at the map and says "Oh, I see. This is not a real map. This is a picture from a book. The rock and the island are not on the floor. They are in your imagination. You can pretend they are anywhere you want."
+
+Lily and Tom listen to Mom. They understand. They are happy. They say "Thank you, Mom!" They hug Mom and then they go back to play. They use their imagination and pretend the rock and the island are on the floor. They find the treasure and share it. They have more fun. They love their ship and their map and their toys. They love Mom. They are happy pirates. The end.
+Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. Lily has a lot of red blocks and Ben has a lot of blue blocks. They share some yellow and green blocks.
+
+Lily wants to make a big tower with all the red blocks. She sees a red block on Ben's side. She reaches for it and tries to pull it. But Ben does not let go. He says, "No, Lily, this is my block. I need it for my house."
+
+Lily and Ben start to pull the block harder and harder. They both want the block. They do not want to share. They make angry faces and noises. The block snaps in half. They both fall down and drop their blocks. Some of their blocks break too.
+
+Lily and Ben start to cry. They are sad and hurt. They look at their broken blocks and their broken block. They wish they did not pull the block. They wish they were nice to each other.
+
+Mom hears them cry and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the mess and the tears. She hugs them and says, "Oh, Lily and Ben, what happened? Why did you pull the block? You know you have to share and be gentle with your toys."
+
+Lily and Ben tell Mom what they did. They say they are sorry. They say they want to play together again. Mom says, "That's good. I'm glad you are sorry. I'm glad you want to play together. But first, you have to clean up your blocks and say sorry to each other."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and do what Mom says. They pick up their blocks and put them in a box. They find the broken block and put it in the trash. They look at each other and say, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben. Can we be friends again?"
+
+They hug and smile. They are glad they are friends again. They decide to build something together with their blocks. They use red and blue and yellow and green blocks. They make a big castle with a bridge and a flag. They are happy and proud. They show Mom their castle and say, "Look, Mom, we made this together. We shared and we were gentle. We did not pull any blocks."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That's wonderful, Lily and Ben. I'm very proud of you. You are good friends and good builders. You did not pull any blocks. You used your words and your hands nicely. You made a beautiful castle. Well done!"

+
+"Let's peek in the box," Tim said. "Maybe there is something fun."

+"OK," Sam said. "But be careful. Maybe there is something bad."
+
+They ran to the box and lifted the lid. They saw a lot of shiny things. They were happy. They reached for the things.
+
+But then, they heard a loud roar. A terrible monster jumped out of the box. It had big teeth and claws. It was angry. It wanted the shiny things.

+Tim gets angry. He jumps on Sam's laptop. He pushes it off the table. It falls on the floor and makes a loud noise. Sam looks at Tim. He looks very angry and sad. He yells at Tim. He says bad words. He says Tim is a bad dog.
+
+Tim feels scared and sorry. He did not mean to make Sam angry and sad. He just wanted to play. He runs to his bed and hides under a blanket. He whimpers. He wishes Sam would forgive him and play with him.
+
+Sam picks up his laptop. He sees that it is broken. He cannot work anymore. He feels very angry and sad. He lost his work and his laptop. He looks at Tim. He sees that Tim is scared and sorry. He remembers that Tim is a dog. He loves Tim. He knows that Tim loves him.

+
+"Me too, me too!" Lily says. "I want to wear it as well. Let's share it."
+
+They take the vest out of the box and wrap it around themselves. It is too big for them, but they don't mind. They pretend to be explorers and go on an adventure.

+Lily was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play with her toys. But Mom said it was nap time and she had to lie down in her bed.
+
+"Please, Mom, can I show you something?" Lily asked. She hoped Mom would let her get up.
+
+"What do you want to show me, Lily?" Mom asked. She looked at Lily with a smile.
+
+Lily pointed to her closet. "I have a surprise for you in there. It is very pretty. Can I show you, please?"
+
+Mom was curious. She wondered what Lily had in her closet. She decided to let Lily show her. "Okay, Lily, you can show me. But then you have to nap, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mom, thank you!" Lily said. She jumped out of her bed and ran to her closet. She opened the door and pulled out a big box. She brought it to Mom and opened it.
+
+Inside the box, there was a colorful blanket that Lily had made with her grandma. It had many shapes and patterns on it. Lily had worked very hard on it. She wanted to give it to Mom as a gift.

+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were explorers in the jungle. They had a big purple ball that they used as a treasure. They hid it behind a bush and went to look for more adventures.
+
+They saw a pond with some ducks and frogs. They wanted to feed them some bread. They walked to the edge of the water and threw some crumbs. The ducks and frogs came closer and ate the bread. Lily and Max smiled and clapped.

+But then they heard a loud splash. They looked and saw a big green crocodile. It had sharp teeth and a long tail. It was hungry and angry. It wanted to eat the ducks and frogs. And it wanted to eat Lily and Max too.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Max shouted. He grabbed Lily's hand and they ran away from the pond. The crocodile chased them. It was fast and fierce. It snapped its jaws and swung its tail.
+
+Lily and Max ran to the bush where they hid their purple ball. They hoped the crocodile would not find them. They were scared and tired. They wished they had someone to help them.
+
+But then they heard a friendly bark. They looked and saw their dog, Spot. Spot was big and brave. He saw the crocodile and he barked louder. He ran to the crocodile and bit its tail. The crocodile was surprised and hurt. It turned around and tried to bite Spot. But Spot was smarter and faster. He dodged and bit the crocodile again and again.
+
+The crocodile was scared and tired. It decided to leave. It ran back to the pond and dived into the water. It did not want to mess with Spot.
+
+Lily and Max hugged Spot. They were happy and safe. Spot had saved them. He had provided them with protection and love. He was their hero.

+
+"It's broken, it's a cheap gun!" Tom says. He is sad and angry.
+
+He throws the toy gun on the ground. He looks at Sam's toy gun. He wants it. He runs to Sam and tries to grab it.
+
+"Give me your gun, it's better than mine!" Tom says.
+
+"No, it's mine, go away!" Sam says.
+
+They pull and push. They fight over the toy gun. They hurt each other's fingers. They cry and scream.
+
+A lady sees them. She is Sam's mom. She runs to them and stops them.
+
+"Stop, stop, what are you doing?" she says.
+
+She takes the toy gun from them. She looks at them. They are dirty and bleeding.
+
+"You are bad boys, you are not friends!" she says.
+
+She takes Sam by the hand. She walks away with him. She leaves Tom alone.
+
+Tom feels sorry. He wants his toy gun back. He wants his friend back. He picks up his toy gun from the ground. He tries to fix it. He says sorry to Sam, but Sam does not hear him. He is lonely and sad. He wishes he had a better toy gun. He wishes he had a better friend.
+Ben and Lily like to play in the sand. They have a spade and a bucket. They dig and fill and make a big hill. They are happy.
+
+But then a big dog comes. The dog is noisy. It barks and runs and jumps. It sees the hill and wants to play too. It digs and kicks and makes the hill fall. Ben and Lily are sad.
+
+They say, "Go away, dog! You are bad! You broke our hill!" But the dog does not listen. It wags its tail and licks their faces. It thinks they are playing too.
+
+Ben and Lily do not like the dog. They want their hill back. They pick up their spade and bucket and run away. They look for a new place to play in the sand. They hope the dog will not find them. They are angry.
+Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They wanted to play with their new boat. Mom gave them the boat and said, "Be careful, don't go too far."
+
+Ben and Lily ran to the pond. They put the boat in the water and watched it float. They took turns to push it with a stick. The boat was red and shiny. It made splashes and bubbles.
+
+"Look, Lily, the boat is fast!" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, Ben, the boat is fun!" Lily said.
+
+They played with the boat for a long time. They were happy and excited.
+
+But then, they saw a big duck. The duck saw the boat too. The duck was hungry and curious. It swam towards the boat and pecked at it.
+
+"Hey, duck, stop it!" Ben shouted. "That's our boat!"
+
+"Go away, duck, leave our boat alone!" Lily cried.
+
+But the duck did not listen. It grabbed the boat with its beak and lifted it out of the water. It shook the boat and tried to eat it.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared and angry. They ran to the duck and tried to get their boat back. They pulled and tugged at the boat. The duck quacked and flapped its wings.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Ben and Lily and the duck and the boat. She was surprised and worried.
+
+"Ben, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "That's not safe, let go of the boat!"
+
+"But Mom, the duck took our boat!" Ben said.
+
+"It's our boat, Mom, we want it back!" Lily said.
+
+Mom understood. She was sorry for Ben and Lily. She was also sorry for the duck. She knew the duck did not mean to be bad. It was just hungry and curious.
+
+Mom had an idea. She took some bread from her bag and threw it to the duck. The duck saw the bread and dropped the boat. It swam to the bread and ate it. It was happy and satisfied.
+
+Mom picked up the boat and gave it to Ben and Lily. She checked if it was broken. It was not broken. It was still red and shiny. It had some duck feathers on it.
+
+"Here, Ben, Lily, your boat is fine," Mom said. "But maybe we should play somewhere else. The duck might come back."
+
+"OK, Mom, thank you," Ben and Lily said.
+
+They hugged Mom and took their boat. They went to another part of the park. They found a fountain. They put the boat in the fountain and watched it float. They took turns to push it with a stick. The boat was red and shiny. It made splashes and bubbles.
+
+"Look, Lily, the boat is fast!" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, Ben, the boat is fun!" Lily said.
+
+They played with the boat for a long time. They were happy and excited. They forgot about the duck. They did not see the duck watching them from the pond. The duck was full and sleepy. It did not want the boat anymore. It just wanted to nap.
+Lily was a bunny who loved to run. She ran in the grass, she ran in the woods, she ran in the garden. She ran so fast that no one could catch her. She ran to find carrots, her favorite food.
+
+One day, she saw a big carrot in the farmer's field. It was orange and juicy and smelled so good. She wanted to eat it, but she knew it was not safe. The farmer had a dog, who liked to chase bunnies. Lily was not afraid of the dog, but she was smart. She waited until the dog was asleep, then she ran to the carrot.
+
+She nibbled on the carrot, and it was delicious. She nibbled some more, and it was even better. She nibbled and nibbled, until she ate the whole carrot. She was so happy, and so full, that she felt sleepy. She decided to take a nap in the field, under a big leaf.
+
+But she did not see the dog wake up. He smelled the carrot, and he followed the scent. He saw the leaf move, and he heard a soft snore. He knew it was a bunny, and he wanted to play. He ran to the leaf, and he barked.
+
+Lily woke up, and she saw the dog. She was scared, and she wanted to run. But she was too sleepy, and too full, to run fast. She tried to hop away, but the dog was faster. He caught her by the tail, and he wagged his.
+
+"Gotcha, bunny!" he said. "Let's play!"
+
+Lily did not want to play. She wanted to be free. She wiggled and kicked, and she bit the dog's nose. The dog yelped, and he let go of her tail. Lily ran as fast as she could, back to the woods.
+
+She learned a lesson that day. She learned that carrots are good, but not too good. She learned that naps are nice, but not too nice. She learned that running is fun, but not too fun. She learned to be careful, and to be happy, with what she had.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs and worms. Sometimes they found shiny stones or old coins. They had a lot of fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big pile of dirt near the fence. They wondered what it was. They ran to it and started to dig. They hoped to find something incredible.
+
+"Look, look!" Lily shouted. She held up a furry ball in her hand. It had a long nose and tiny eyes. It was a mole. "It's so cute!"
+
+Tom nodded. He wanted to see the mole too. He reached out his hand to touch it. But the mole was scared. It bit Tom's finger and ran away.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He dropped his shovel and held his finger. It was bleeding. He felt very bad.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Tom. She dropped the mole and ran to him. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't know the mole would bite you. Are you okay?"
+
+Tom nodded. He was still in pain, but he was glad Lily was with him. He said, "It's okay, Lily. It was an incredible mole. But I don't want to play with it anymore. Let's go inside and get a band-aid."
+
+Lily nodded. She agreed. She took Tom's hand and they went inside. They left the mole and the pile of dirt behind. They learned a lesson. Not all incredible things are friendly.
+Tom and Lily liked to help Mom in the kitchen. They put the dirty plates and cups in the dishwasher. They pushed the buttons to make it start. They heard the water splash and the soap bubble.
+
+"Look, the dishwasher is rocking!" Tom said. He pointed to the dishwasher that moved a little.
+
+Lily giggled. "It is like a boat on the sea. Let's pretend we are pirates!" She put a paper hat on her head.
+
+"Arrr, matey!" Tom said. He took a wooden spoon as a sword. "We are looking for treasure!"
+
+They ran around the kitchen, making pirate noises. They opened the drawers and the cabinets, looking for shiny things.
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad that Tom and Lily had fun. She also liked that they helped her with the dishes. She gave them each a hug and a cookie.
+
+"Thank you, my little pirates!" she said. "You are the best treasure I have!"
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy alligator in the garden. They liked to pretend it was a real alligator that could swim and bite. They filled a big bucket with water and put some dirt and leaves in it. They wanted to make a swamp for their alligator.
+
+"Let's mix the water and the dirt," Ben said. He took a big stick and stirred the bucket. The water became brown and muddy.
+
+"No, don't mix it!" Lily said. She wanted the water to be clear, like in the pond. She grabbed the stick from Ben and tried to scoop out the dirt. "The alligator likes clear water, not muddy water!"
+
+Ben was angry. He wanted the water to be muddy, like in the swamp. He pulled the stick back from Lily and splashed the water at her. "The alligator likes muddy water, not clear water!"
+
+Lily was wet and sad. She cried and ran to their mom. "Ben splashed me with muddy water! He ruined the alligator's home!"
+
+Mom came to the garden and saw the mess. She was not happy. She took the bucket and the alligator and poured out the water. She washed the alligator and gave it to Lily. She told Ben to say sorry to Lily and to help her clean up the garden.
+
+Ben felt sorry. He said sorry to Lily and hugged her. He helped her pick up the leaves and the dirt. They decided to play with their alligator in the pond instead of the bucket. They agreed that the alligator liked both clear water and muddy water, as long as they played nicely with it.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with a long neck and legs. It was an ostrich. The ostrich was eating grass and flowers.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "It is so big and funny!"
+
+"Can we hug it?" Ben asked. He liked to hug animals.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it is shy or scared."
+
+They walked closer to the ostrich. The ostrich saw them and stopped eating. It looked at them with its big eyes.
+
+"Hello, bird," Lily said. "We are Lily and Ben. We want to be your friends. Can we hug you?"
+
+The ostrich tilted its head. It made a soft noise. It seemed curious.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They reached out their arms. The ostrich leaned forward. It wrapped its neck around them. It hugged them gently.
+
+Lily and Ben giggled. They hugged the ostrich back. They felt its soft feathers and warm breath.
+
+The ostrich liked Lily and Ben. It was happy to have new friends.
+
+They played with the ostrich for a while. They ran and jumped and rolled on the grass. They had fun.
+
+Then they heard their mom calling them. It was time to go home.
+
+"Bye, bird," Lily said. "Thank you for the hug. We will come back soon."
+
+"Bye, bird," Ben said. "You are very nice and tidy. We like you a lot."
+
+The ostrich nodded. It made a loud noise. It waved its wings.
+
+Lily and Ben waved back. They ran to their mom. They told her about the ostrich.
+
+Their mom smiled. She was glad they had a good time.
+
+They got in the car and drove away. The ostrich watched them go. It hoped to see them again.
+Tom and Mia like to jog with Mom and Dad. They put on their shoes and hats and go to the park. They jog on the path and see birds and flowers. Tom and Mia feel happy and strong.
+
+But one day, the path is closed. There is a big sign that says "No Jogging". Mom and Dad say they have to go back home. Tom and Mia feel frustrated. They want to jog and have fun.
+
+"Why can't we jog, Mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Because they are fixing the path, Tom. It is not safe to jog there now. Maybe we can jog another day." Mom says.
+
+"But I want to jog today!" Mia says.
+
+"I know, Mia. But we have to follow the rules. How about we play a game at home instead?" Dad says.
+
+Tom and Mia think for a moment. They still feel frustrated, but they also love games. They nod and follow Mom and Dad back home. They hope the path will be open soon.
+Lily was a nurse who liked to help people. She worked at a big house where many sick people lived. She wore a white dress and a hat with a red cross. She had a bag with many things to make people feel better.
+
+One day, she went to see a man who had a bad cough. He was in a room with a window that looked at the garden. Lily gave him some water and a pill. She said, "You need to rest and drink a lot of water. You will get better soon." The man smiled and thanked her.
+
+Lily saw a bird outside the window. It was a blue bird with a yellow beak. It was singing a happy song. Lily liked birds. She said, "Look, there is a bird in the garden. It is very pretty. Do you like birds?" The man nodded and said, "Yes, I do. They make me happy."
+
+Lily said, "Me too. Maybe when you are well, you can go to the garden and see the birds. They will be happy to see you too." The man said, "That would be nice. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome. I have to go now and see other people. But I will come back later. Bye bye, bird." She waved at the bird and left the room.
+
+But the bird was not a nice bird. It was a dangerous bird. It had a sharp claw and a big mouth. It was not singing a happy song. It was singing a hungry song. It saw Lily and wanted to eat her. It waited for her to come out of the house. It hid behind a tree and made a plan.
+
+When Lily came out of the house, she did not see the bird. She walked to her car. She was happy because she had helped many people. She did not hear the bird. She did not know it was there.
+
+The bird saw Lily and sprang from the tree. It flew fast and aimed at her head. It opened its mouth and screamed. It wanted to bite her and hurt her.
+
+But Lily was not alone. She had a friend. It was a dog. It was a big dog with a brown fur and a black nose. It was a brave dog. It saw the bird and heard its scream. It knew it was a dangerous bird. It wanted to protect Lily. It ran to her and barked.
+
+Lily heard the bark and turned around. She saw the bird and the dog. She was scared and surprised. She said, "Oh no, a bird! Oh no, a dog! What is happening?"
+
+The dog jumped and caught the bird in its mouth. It shook it and threw it away. It growled and chased it. The bird was scared and hurt. It flew away and never came back.
+
+Lily hugged the dog and said, "Thank you, dog. You saved me. You are a good dog. What is your name?" The dog licked her face and wagged its tail. It said, "Woof woof. My name is Max. I live in the garden. I like you. You are a good nurse."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I like you too, Max. You are a good friend. Do you want to come with me? We can go and see the man with the cough. He likes birds. Maybe he will like you too." Max nodded and said, "Woof woof. Yes, I do. Let's go." They got in the car and drove away. They were happy. They had a new friend. The end.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play and share. One day, they find a big bag of candy in the park. They are very happy and excited.
+
+"Wow, look at all the candy!" Sara says. "We can eat some and take some home."
+
+"Yes, let's do that!" Ben agrees. "But we have to be careful. Maybe someone is looking for the candy."
+
+They open the bag and see many kinds of candy. They pick their favorites and start to eat. They feel sweet and good.
+
+But then, they hear a loud voice. It is a man. He is angry and scary. He is running towards them.
+
+"Hey, you kids! That's my candy! Give it back to me!" he shouts.
+
+Sara and Ben are afraid. They drop the candy and run away. The man is faster and stronger. He catches them and grabs their arms.
+
+"Ow, you are hurting us!" Sara cries. "Let us go!"
+
+"No way! You stole my candy! You are bad kids!" the man says. "I will teach you a lesson!"
+
+He pulls them to a bench and sits them down. He takes out a big stick. He is going to hit them.
+
+Sara and Ben are very scared. They think they are in big trouble. They don't know what to do.
+
+But then, they have an idea. They decide to act. They act like they are weak and sick. They cough and sneeze and moan.
+
+"Please, mister, don't hit us!" Sara says. "We are sorry. We didn't know it was your candy. We are hungry and poor."
+
+"Yes, please, mister, have mercy!" Ben says. "We are sick and weak. We need help. We have no home."
+
+The man looks at them. He is confused and surprised. He feels sorry for them. He thinks they are telling the truth.
+
+"Oh, you poor kids!" he says. "I didn't know you were in such a bad situation. I'm sorry. I was too harsh. Here, take some candy. And some money. And go find a place to stay."
+
+He gives them some candy and some money. He lets them go. He walks away.
+
+Sara and Ben are relieved and happy. They smile and hug. They have fooled the man. They have saved themselves.
+
+They run away with the candy and the money. They are proud and clever.
+
+They have acted well.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big map that showed them where to find gold and jewels.
+
+"Look, Ben, the map says the treasure is in the big drawer under the bed!" Lily said.
+
+"Let's go and get it!" Ben said. They crawled under the bed and opened the drawer. It was dark and dusty inside.
+
+Lily reached her hand in and felt something soft and furry. She screamed and pulled her hand out. "There's a monster in the drawer!" she cried.
+
+Ben was frightened too. He grabbed Lily and they ran out from under the bed. They saw their cat, Fluffy, jump out of the drawer and follow them. Fluffy had been sleeping in the drawer and was surprised by Lily's touch.
+
+"It's not a monster, it's Fluffy!" Ben said. He laughed and picked up the cat. "She must have dived into the drawer to have a nap."
+
+Lily felt silly and relieved. She hugged Fluffy and said, "Sorry, Fluffy, we didn't mean to scare you. You're not a monster, you're our treasure."
+Anna and Ben were eager to go to the beach. They put on their hats, sunscreen and swimsuits. They packed their buckets, shovels and towels. They got in the car with Mom and Dad and drove to the sea.
+
+When they arrived, they saw the blue water, the yellow sand and the white waves. They heard the seagulls, the wind and the splash. They smelled the salt, the sun and the fish. They felt excited, happy and curious.
+
+"Can we go in the water, Mom?" asked Anna.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. We have to find a spot to put our things first. And we have to stay together, OK?" said Mom.
+
+"OK, Mom," said Anna and Ben.
+
+They followed Mom and Dad to a shady place under a big umbrella. They put their things down and took off their shoes. They looked at the water again. It was sparkling, inviting and fun.
+
+"Can we go now, Dad?" asked Ben.
+
+"Yes, you can. But remember, don't go too far. And don't separate from each other. Stay where we can see you, OK?" said Dad.
+
+"OK, Dad," said Anna and Ben.
+
+They ran to the water, holding hands. They jumped over the waves, splashed each other and laughed. They saw some fish, some shells and some seaweed. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They did not separate from each other. They stayed together. They were safe and happy. They loved the beach.
+Lily and Max were playing in the yard. They had a ball and a doll. Lily liked the doll and Max liked the ball. They were having fun.
+
+Then a big boy came. He was rude. He took the ball from Max and said, "This is mine now. Go away." Max was sad and angry. He wanted his ball back.
+
+Lily did not like the big boy. She said, "That is not nice. Give the ball back to Max. It is his ball." The big boy laughed and said, "No. You are too small to tell me what to do. I will keep the ball."
+
+Lily had an idea. She said, "OK. You can have the ball. But can I have the doll?" The big boy looked at the doll and said, "Sure. I don't want the doll. It is for girls. Here, take it." He threw the doll to Lily.
+
+Lily caught the doll and smiled. She said, "Thank you." Then she ran to Max and gave him the doll. She said, "Here, Max. You can have the doll. It is yours." Max was surprised and happy. He hugged the doll and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very smart and kind. I like the doll."
+
+The big boy was confused and mad. He said, "Hey, that is not fair. You tricked me. Give me the doll back." But Lily and Max ignored him. They ran inside the house and played with the doll and the ball. They were happy. The big boy was left alone in the yard. He was sad and sorry. He learned a lesson.
+Tom has a big truck made of steel. He likes to play with it in the yard. He can make it go fast and make loud noises. He can also load it with rocks and dirt and dump them out.
+
+One day, a man comes to Tom's house. He has a smaller truck with a sign that says "I buy toys". He sees Tom's truck and says, "That is a nice truck. Do you want to sell it to me? I will give you money for it."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He likes his truck, but he also likes money. He can buy more toys with money. He asks the man, "How much money will you give me?"
+
+The man says, "I will give you five dollars. That is a good deal. This truck is very old and rusty. It is not worth much. But I can fix it and make it look new. Then I can sell it to someone else for more money."
+
+Tom does not know what old and rusty and worth mean. He only knows that five dollars is a lot of money. He says, "OK, I will sell you my truck. But you have to be careful with it. It is made of steel. It is very strong and heavy."
+
+The man says, "Don't worry, I know how to handle steel. I have many tools and machines. I can make anything out of steel. Thank you for selling me your truck. You are a smart boy."
+
+He gives Tom five dollars and takes the truck. He puts it in his smaller truck and drives away.
+
+Tom runs to his mom and shows her the money. He says, "Look, mom, I sold my truck. I have five dollars. Can we go to the toy store and buy something new?"
+
+His mom smiles and hugs him. She says, "Sure, we can go to the toy store. But first, let me tell you something. Your truck was very special. It was a gift from your grandpa. He made it for you when you were a baby. He used his own steel and his own tools. He loved you very much. He wanted you to have something that would last forever. Your truck was not old and rusty. It was unique and valuable. You should not have sold it so cheaply. You should have kept it and cherished it."
+
+Tom feels sad and confused. He says, "But the man said it was not worth much. He said he could make it look new. He said he would give me money for it."
+
+His mom says, "The man was not honest. He wanted to trick you. He wanted to buy your truck for a low price and sell it for a high price. He did not care about your truck or your grandpa. He only cared about money. Money is not everything, Tom. Sometimes, there are things that are more important than money. Things like love and memories and family. Things that are not available in any store. Things that you can only get from people who love you. Like your grandpa. And me."
+
+Tom starts to cry. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I miss grandpa. I miss my truck. I want it back. Can we get it back?"
+
+His mom says, "I don't know, Tom. Maybe we can. Maybe we can find the man and ask him to give it back. Maybe we can offer him more money. Maybe he will be kind and understand. But maybe we can't. Maybe he is gone. Maybe he has sold it to someone else. Maybe we will never see it again. I'm sorry, too, Tom. I should have told you about your truck and your grandpa. I should have taught you to appreciate what you have. I should have watched you more closely. I love you, Tom. And I'm proud of you. You are a good boy. You are not greedy or selfish. You are curious and adventurous. You like to explore and learn and try new things. That is a good thing. But you also have to be careful and wise. You have to think before you act. You have to know what is true and what is false. You have to know what is yours and what is not. You have to know what is worth keeping and what is worth selling. You have to know what is available and what is not. You have to know what is steel and what is not."
+
+She wipes his tears and kisses his forehead. She says, "Come on, Tom. Let's go to the toy store. Maybe we can find something else that you like. Something that is not made of steel. Something that is available. Something that you can play with and enjoy. Something that you can share with me. And maybe, just maybe, we can find your truck. And if we do, we will never
+Ben and his dad live on a farm. They have a mule named Molly. Molly is very dependable. She helps them carry things and plow the fields. Ben likes to ride on Molly's back and talk to her.
+
+One day, Ben and his dad have to go to the market. They load Molly with baskets of apples and carrots. Ben climbs on Molly's back and holds on to her ears. Molly walks slowly and carefully along the road.
+
+"Are you having fun, Ben?" dad asks.
+
+"Yes, dad. I like Molly. She is a good mule," Ben says.
+
+"Molly likes you too, Ben. She is a good friend," dad says.
+
+They reach the market and sell their apples and carrots. They buy some bread and cheese and a new hat for Molly. They thank the people and get ready to go back to the farm.
+
+Before they leave, Molly stretches her legs and shakes her head. She makes a loud noise with her mouth.
+
+"What is Molly saying, dad?" Ben asks.
+
+"She is saying she is happy and hungry. She wants to go home and eat some hay," dad says.
+
+"Me too, Molly. Me too," Ben says.
+
+They get on Molly's back and head home. Molly walks faster and happier. Ben and his dad sing a song and pat Molly's neck. They love their dependable mule.
+Anna and Ben like to draw and print pictures. They have a big box of crayons and a printer in their room. They draw animals, flowers, cars and houses. Then they put the paper in the printer and press the button. The printer makes a noise and prints their pictures.
+
+One day, they want to print a picture of a dragon. Anna draws a big dragon with green scales, yellow eyes and red fire. Ben draws a small knight with a sword and a shield. They are very proud of their picture. They put it in the printer and press the button.
+
+But the printer does not print their picture. It makes a loud and scary noise. It sounds like a dragon roaring. Anna and Ben are fearful. They think the dragon is angry and wants to come out of the printer. They run to their mom and dad and tell them what happened.
+
+Mom and dad go to their room and look at the printer. They see that the paper is stuck in the printer. They pull it out and show it to Anna and Ben. They explain that the printer was not working well and that the noise was not a dragon. They say that they are sorry and that they will fix the printer soon.
+
+Anna and Ben are relieved. They see that their picture is not ruined. They hug their mom and dad and thank them. They say that they still like dragons, but they do not want to print one yet. They decide to print a picture of a rainbow instead. They think that rainbows are nice and not scary. They smile and go back to their drawing.
+Tim and Liz are twins. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Today, Mom is making a cake. She needs eggs, flour, sugar, and butter.
+
+"Can you raise the eggs for me, Tim?" Mom asks. "They are on the top shelf."
+
+Tim nods and climbs on a chair. He reaches for the eggs, but they are too far. He stretches his arm, but he still cannot touch them. He feels sad.
+
+"I can help you, Tim!" Liz says. She climbs on the chair next to him. She pushes him a little, and he moves closer to the eggs. He grabs them and smiles.
+
+"Thank you, Liz!" Tim says. He gives her a hug.
+
+"You're welcome, Tim!" Liz says. They give the eggs to Mom.
+
+"Good job, kids!" Mom says. "Now we need butter. Do you know where the butter is?"
+
+Liz and Tim look around. They see a yellow box in the fridge. They open the fridge and take the box.
+
+"Is this butter, Mom?" Liz asks.
+
+"Yes, it is, Liz!" Mom says. "But we only need a little bit. Can you cut a slice for me?"
+
+Liz and Tim nod. They open the box and see the butter. It is soft and smooth. They find a knife and cut a slice. They are careful not to hurt themselves.
+
+"Here you go, Mom!" Tim says. He gives the slice to Mom.
+
+"Thank you, Tim!" Mom says. "You and Liz are very helpful. We have everything we need for the cake now. Do you want to help me mix the ingredients?"
+
+Liz and Tim nod again. They love to mix things. They follow Mom to the table, where she has a big bowl and a spoon. They take turns to pour the eggs, the flour, the sugar, and the butter into the bowl. They stir and stir until everything is well mixed.
+
+"Wow, it looks yummy!" Liz says.

+
+"Can I see the fish, please?" Anna asked the teacher.
+
+"Not now, Anna. We have to share. Wait for your turn," the teacher said.
+
+But Anna was impatient. She did not want to wait. She wanted the fish now. She got up from her seat and walked to the teacher's desk. She reached for the fish picture.
+
+"Anna, stop! That's not nice!" the teacher said.

+
+One day, Anna's uncle came to visit her and her family. He brought a big box with him. He said it was a surprise for Anna. Anna was very curious and excited. She wondered what was inside the box. She hoped it was something to polish her shoes with, like a new brush or a new cloth.
+
+After dinner, Anna's uncle opened the box and showed Anna what was inside. It was a pair of shoes, but not like any shoes Anna had ever seen. They were very big and very bright. They had wheels on the bottom and laces on the top. They were roller skates!
+
+Anna's uncle said he wanted to teach Anna how to skate. He said it was a lot of fun and good exercise. He also said it was a bit competitive, and that he liked to race with his friends. He said he was the fastest skater in his neighborhood, and that no one could beat him.
+
+Anna was amazed by the roller skates. She wanted to try them on and learn how to skate. She thanked her uncle and hugged him. She put on the roller skates and followed her uncle outside. He showed her how to balance and move on the wheels. He also showed her how to stop and turn. Anna was a quick learner and soon she was able to skate by herself.
+
+Anna's uncle was very proud of her. He said she was a natural skater and that she had a lot of potential. He said he wanted to race with her and see who was faster. He said he would give her a head start and that he would not go too fast. He said he was sure she would win.
+
+Anna was happy and confident. She liked to race and she liked to win. She also liked to polish her shoes, but she liked to skate more. She said yes to her uncle and got ready to race. She looked at her roller skates and smiled. They were very big and very bright. They had wheels on the bottom and laces on the top. They were also very shiny. Anna had polished them before she put them on. She wanted them to look nice and last longer. She also wanted to see her face in them. She thought that maybe, just maybe, her uncle would see her face in them too, as she zoomed past him and crossed the finish line.

+They followed Fluffy to a clearing. There they saw a deer, a squirrel, a fox, and a bird. They were all friendly and kind. They played and talked and shared their food.
+
+Anna and Ben had a wonderful time in the forest. They made new friends and ate delicious things. They forgot about the wardrobe and the real world. They were happy in the magic world.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big machine near the fence. It had wheels and buttons and wires. They wanted to see what it did.
+
+"Let's go look at the machine," Lily said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the machine and touched it. It made a loud noise and started to move. It shook and spun and flashed. Lily and Ben were scared.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted.
+
+A man came running from the other side of the fence. He was wearing a white coat and glasses. He had a remote control in his hand.
+
+"Stop! Stop!" he yelled. He pressed a button and the machine stopped.
+
+"Are you OK?" he asked Lily and Ben.
+
+"Yes, we are OK," Lily said.
+
+"What were you doing with my machine?" the man asked.
+
+"We were just looking at it," Ben said.
+
+"That was a very bad idea," the man said. "This is my invention. It is a time machine. It can take you to the past or the future. But it is not ready yet. It is very dangerous. It can make you go crazy."
+
+Lily and Ben did not understand what the man was saying. They only knew that the machine was scary.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Lily said. "We won't touch it again."
+
+"Good," the man said. "Now go back to your parents and don't tell anyone about this. I have to fix my machine."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and ran away. They stumbled on the grass and fell down. They laughed and got up. They forgot about the machine and the man. They went back to playing in the park. They had fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find bugs and worms. They had a big bucket to put their finds in.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a shiny stone!" Tom said, holding up a pebble.
+
+"Wow, that's pretty, Tom!" Lily said, smiling. "Can I see?"
+
+Tom gave her the stone and she put it in the bucket. Then she dug some more and found something else.
+
+"Tom, Tom, look what I found!" Lily said, excited. "It's a bean!"
+
+"A bean?" Tom said, puzzled. "What's a bean doing here?"
+
+"I don't know, but it's green and round and smooth. Maybe it's magic!" Lily said, holding the bean in her hand.
+
+"Magic? How do you know?" Tom said, curious.
+
+"Maybe if we plant it, it will grow into a big beanstalk, like in the story!" Lily said, jumping up. "Let's do it, Tom!"
+
+"Okay, okay, let's do it!" Tom said, agreeing. He took the bean from Lily and looked for a good spot to plant it.
+
+But as he was walking, he tripped over a root and dropped the bean. It rolled away and fell into a hole.
+
+"Oh no, Tom, where's the bean?" Lily said, worried.
+
+"I don't know, Lily, I lost it!" Tom said, looking around.
+
+They searched and searched, but they could not find the bean. It was too small and too green to see in the dirt.
+
+Tom and Lily were very sad. They wanted to plant the bean and see what would happen. They sat down on the grass and sighed.
+
+"Maybe we can find another bean, Tom," Lily said, trying to cheer up.
+
+"Maybe, Lily, but I don't think so," Tom said, shaking his head.
+
+They looked at each other and felt angry. They wished they had not lost the bean. They wished they had a magic beanstalk. They wished they had a better day.
+Tommy liked to play with his toys in the bathtub. He had a boat, a duck, and a star. The star was his favorite. It was light and shiny. He made it go up and down in the water. He pretended it was a real star in the sky.
+
+One day, Tommy's mom said, "Time to get out, Tommy. You have been in the bathtub for too long. You need to dry off and get ready for bed."
+
+"But I want to play with my star more," Tommy said. He did not want to leave the bathtub. He loved his star.
+
+"Okay, you can play for five more minutes. But then you have to get out, okay?" his mom said. She went to the kitchen to get a towel.
+
+Tommy was happy. He played with his star more. He made it shine brighter and brighter. He threw it up in the air and caught it. He was having so much fun.
+
+But then, he threw it too high. The star flew out of the bathtub and landed on the floor. It broke into pieces. Tommy was sad. He cried. He lost his star.
+
+His mom came back and saw what happened. She hugged Tommy and said, "I'm sorry, Tommy. I know you loved your star. But you have to be careful with your toys. Sometimes, they can break if you play too rough with them. And then you can't play with them anymore."
+
+Tommy nodded. He understood. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was too excited. I won't do it again."
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "It's okay, Tommy. I forgive you. Come on, let's get you out of the bathtub and into your pajamas. Maybe we can find another star for you tomorrow."
+
+Tommy got out of the bathtub and dried off. He put on his pajamas and went to bed. He looked out of the window and saw the real stars in the sky. They were light and shiny. He wished he had one of them. But he knew he couldn't. He had to be happy with what he had. He learned his lesson. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a stream in the park. The stream is shiny and makes a nice sound.
+
+"Let's play in the stream!" Tom says.
+
+"OK!" Mia says.
+
+They take off their shoes and socks and run to the stream. They splash and laugh in the water. They have fun.
+
+But then, a big boy comes to the stream. He is rude. He pushes Tom and Mia and says, "This is my stream! Go away!"
+
+Tom and Mia are scared and sad. They try to get their shoes and socks, but the big boy kicks them into the stream. He laughs and says, "Ha ha! Now you have nothing!"
+
+Tom and Mia cry. They have no shoes and socks. They are wet and cold. They run to their moms and tell them what happened.
+
+Their moms are angry and sad. They hug Tom and Mia and say, "That big boy was very mean. He should not do that. He should share and be nice. You did nothing wrong. You are good friends."
+
+The big boy is alone in the stream. He has no friends. He is bored and unhappy. He wishes he was not rude.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: Being rude and selfish makes you lose friends and happiness. Being kind and generous makes you gain friends and happiness.
+Sam and Mia like to play games. They have many games in their room. They have cards, puzzles, blocks and a big iron train. The iron train is shiny and heavy. It can make sounds and move on the tracks.
+
+One day, Sam and Mia decide to play with the iron train. They take turns to be the driver and the passenger. They make the train go fast and slow, and stop at different stations. They have fun and laugh a lot.
+
+But then, Sam wants to be the driver all the time. He does not let Mia have a turn. He says, "I am the best driver. I can make the train go faster than you. I always win the game."
+
+Mia is sad and angry. She says, "That is not fair. You have to share the train. It is our game. We can both be good drivers. We can both win the game."
+
+Sam does not listen. He keeps driving the train and making noises. He does not see that Mia is crying. He does not see that the train is going too fast. He does not see that the track is broken.
+
+The train hits the broken track and falls off the table. It makes a loud crash and breaks into pieces. Sam and Mia are shocked and scared. They look at the broken train and feel sorry.
+
+They hug each other and say, "We are sorry. We were not nice to each other. We should have played together. We should have been careful with the train. We love the train. We love each other."
+
+They pick up the pieces of the train and try to fix it. They are tired and sad. They hope the train will work again. They hope they can play with it again. They hope they can be friends again.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They live on a farm with their mom and dad. They like to play with the animals on the farm. They have a dog, a cat, a cow, a pig, and a hen.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily go to the barn to see the hen. The hen has a nest with four eggs. Ben and Lily are very excited. They want to touch the eggs. They ask their mom if they can.
+
+"Mom, can we touch the eggs?" Ben says.
+
+"Be careful, they are very fragile," Mom says. "You can touch them gently, but don't break them."
+
+Ben and Lily nod. They go to the nest and touch the eggs. The eggs are warm and smooth. They feel nice.
+
+"Look, this one has a crack!" Lily says. She points to an egg that has a small hole.
+
+"Maybe it will hatch soon," Ben says. He looks closer at the hole. He sees a tiny beak poking out.
+
+"Wow, it's a baby chick!" Lily says. She claps her hands.
+
+The hen makes a loud noise. She is angry. She thinks Ben and Lily are trying to take her baby. She pecks at Ben's hand. Ben cries out.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. He drops the egg. The egg falls to the ground and breaks. The baby chick comes out. It is wet and yellow.
+
+"Ben, are you okay?" Mom says. She runs to the barn. She sees the broken egg and the baby chick. She picks up the baby chick and wraps it in a soft cloth. She gives it to Lily.
+
+"Lily, hold this gently. It's very cold and scared," Mom says.
+
+Lily holds the baby chick. She feels its heartbeat. She strokes its feathers. The baby chick makes a soft sound. It likes Lily.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to break the egg," Ben says. He shows Mom his hand. It has a red mark.
+
+Mom wipes Ben's hand with a wet cloth. She kisses it.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. The hen was just protecting her baby. She didn't know you were friendly," Mom says.
+
+"Can I hold the baby chick too?" Ben says.
+
+"Of course, you can. But be very gentle. It's very fragile," Mom says.
+
+Mom gives the baby chick to Ben. Ben holds it softly. He smiles.
+
+The baby chick is happy. It has a new family.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to go on tours with their mom and dad. They see many things and learn new words. Mom and dad are jolly and tell them stories.
+
+One day, they go to a big park. There are many animals and flowers. Sara and Ben want to see everything. They run and jump and laugh. Mom and dad carry them when they are tired.
+
+They see a big cage with a lion. The lion is sleeping. Sara and Ben want to see it better. They climb on the fence. Mom and dad tell them to come down. They say it is not safe.
+
+But Sara and Ben do not listen. They want to touch the lion. They reach out their hands. The lion wakes up. It is angry. It roars and jumps. It grabs Sara and Ben with its teeth and claws. Mom and dad scream and cry. They cannot help them. The lion carries them away. Sara and Ben are scared and hurt. They wish they had listened. They say sorry to mom and dad. But it is too late. The end.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls, and spears. Spears are long sticks with sharp ends. They can throw them at things.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben are playing with their spears. They throw them at the fence, the tree, and the flowers. They have fun. But they are not careful. They do not pick up their spears after they throw them. They leave them on the ground.
+
+The next day, it rains. It rains a lot. The spears get wet. They get dirty. They start to rot. Rot means they get soft and brown and smelly. They are not good to play with anymore.
+
+Lila and Ben want to play with their spears again. They go to the garden. They look for their spears. But they cannot find them. They are buried under the mud. They are rotten. They are sad.
+
+Mom comes to the garden. She sees the rotten spears. She is not happy. She says to Lila and Ben, "Why did you leave your spears on the ground? You are lazy. You should have put them away. Now they are ruined. You cannot play with them anymore. You have to throw them away."
+
+Lila and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were having fun. We forgot to pick up our spears. We will not do it again. We will be more careful with our toys."
+
+Mom says, "I hope you learned your lesson. Toys are not cheap. You have to take care of them. If you do not, they will rot. And you will have no toys to play with."
+
+Lila and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We will take care of our toys. We will put them away when we are done playing. We will not be lazy."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That's good. I love you, Lila and Ben. Now, let's go inside and have some cookies."
+
+Lila and Ben smile. They say, "We love you, Mom. Thank you for the cookies." They hug Mom. They go inside. They have some cookies. They are happy.
+Sam liked to write letters to his friends. He used a big pencil and a white paper. He wrote his name and some words he knew. He drew pictures of his toys and his family. He was very proud of his letters.
+
+But Sam did not have stamps or envelopes. He did not know how to send his letters. He asked his mom for help. His mom said, "We can go to the post office tomorrow and buy some stamps and envelopes. Then you can mail your letters to your friends."
+
+Sam did not want to wait. He wanted his friends to get his letters today. He looked out of the window and saw a pigeon on the roof. He had an idea. He said, "Mom, can I use the pigeon to send my letters?"
+
+His mom was surprised. She said, "A pigeon? That is a very unusual way to send letters. How will you do that?"
+
+Sam said, "I will tie my letters to the pigeon's leg. Then I will tell the pigeon where to go. The pigeon will fly to my friends and give them my letters."
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "That is a very creative idea, Sam. But I don't think the pigeon will do what you want. Pigeons are not trained to carry letters. They might get lost or drop your letters. And your friends might not know that the letters are from you. They might think that the pigeon is a pest and shoo it away."
+
+Sam was sad. He said, "But I want to send my letters now. I want to make my friends happy."
+
+His mom hugged him. She said, "I know, Sam. But sometimes we have to be patient and do things the right way. Your friends will be happy to get your letters tomorrow. And they will appreciate that you took the time and effort to write them. That is what makes a good friend."
+
+Sam understood. He said, "OK, mom. I will wait until tomorrow. Thank you for helping me."
+
+His mom said, "You're welcome, Sam. I love you."
+
+They put the letters in a safe place. They fed the pigeon some bread crumbs. They said goodbye to the pigeon and thanked it for being a good bird. Then they went inside to play.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be patient and do things the right way.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big flag on a pole. The flag is red and white and blue. It moves in the wind.
+
+"Look, a flag!" Anna says. "I want to touch it!"
+
+"No, Anna, you can't touch the flag!" Ben says. "It is not for touching. It is for looking."
+
+But Anna does not listen. She runs to the flag and tries to pull it down. She is very curious.
+
+"Anna, stop!" Ben shouts. "You are being bad!"
+
+But it is too late. Anna pulls too hard and the flag falls off the pole. It lands on the ground. Anna and Ben are shocked.
+
+"Oh no, what have you done?" Ben says. "You broke the flag! You are in trouble!"
+
+Anna feels sorry. She did not mean to break the flag. She just wanted to touch it. She starts to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry!" Anna says. "I didn't know it would break. I was just curious. Please don't be mad at me!"
+
+Ben sees that Anna is sorry. He is not mad at her. He is her friend. He hugs her and says:
+
+"It's okay, Anna, I'm not mad at you. You made a mistake. But you have to be careful. You can't touch everything you see. Some things are not for touching. They are special or fragile or dangerous. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nods. She understands. She says:
+
+"I understand, Ben. I will be careful. I will not touch things that are not for touching. I will only look at them. Thank you for being my friend."
+
+Ben smiles. He says:
+
+"You're welcome, Anna. You are my friend too. Come on, let's go and find someone to help us fix the flag. Maybe they will not be too angry with us if we say we are sorry."
+
+Anna and Ben hold hands and walk to find help. They hope the flag can be fixed. They learned a lesson today. They will not touch the flag again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play hide and seek in the park. Lily is good at hiding. She can hide behind trees, under benches, and in bushes. Ben is not so good at hiding. He is big and heavy. He makes a lot of noise when he runs and breathes.
+
+One day, they see a big shiny car in the park. It has a lot of gold and jewels on it. It looks very rich. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see who owns the car. They sneak closer to the car. They see a man and a woman get out of the car. They are wearing fancy clothes and hats. They look very rich too.
+
+The man and the woman walk away from the car. They do not lock the car. They do not see Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben have an idea. They decide to hide in the car. They think it will be fun. They run to the car and open the door. They climb inside the car. They close the door. They look around the car. They see a lot of things in the car. They see bags, boxes, books, and toys. They see a big cake on the seat. They see a small dog on the floor.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They think they have found a treasure. They start to play with the things in the car. They try on the hats and the clothes. They read the books and the toys. They eat some of the cake. They pet the dog. They do not hear the man and the woman come back to the car. They do not hear the man and the woman open the door. They do not see the man and the woman look at them with angry faces.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They think they have done something bad. They want to run away. But they are too late. The man and the woman grab them by the arms. They pull them out of the car. They shout at them. They ask them who they are and what they are doing. They tell them they are thieves and liars. They tell them they will call the police.
+
+Lily and Ben are sorry. They say they are sorry. They say they were only playing. They say they did not mean to take anything. They say they did not know the car was theirs. They say they are not thieves and liars. They say they are just friends. They say they like to play hide and seek. They say they will never do it again.
+
+The man and the woman are still angry. But they are also surprised. They look at Lily and Ben. They see they are just children. They see they are not rich. They see they are not wearing fancy clothes and hats. They see they are wearing old and dirty clothes and shoes. They see they are hungry and sad. They see they have nothing.
+
+The man and the woman are quiet. They think about what they have done. They think about what they have said. They think about what they have. They think about what they need. They think about what is important. They think about what is fair. They think about what is kind.
+
+The man and the woman are sorry too. They say they are sorry. They say they were too harsh. They say they did not understand. They say they will not call the police. They say they will let them go. They say they will give them something. They say they will give them some of the cake. They say they will give them some of the toys. They say they will give them some of the money. They say they will give them a ride home. They say they will be their friends.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They say thank you. They say they are grateful. They say they are lucky. They say they are happy. They hug the man and the woman. They hug the dog. They get in the car. They drive away. They wave goodbye. They smile. They have learned something. They have learned to be careful. They have learned to be honest. They have learned to be generous. They have learned to be kind.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a soft bear. She hugged her bear every night and told him stories.
+
+One day, Lily got an invitation in the mail. It was from her friend Sam, who invited her to his birthday party. Lily was happy and excited. She wanted to go to the party and have fun with Sam and the other kids.
+
+But then she thought of her bear. She did not want to leave him alone at home. She loved her bear so much. She decided to take him to the party with her. She put him in her backpack and got ready to go.
+
+When she arrived at the party, she saw Sam and the other kids playing games and eating cake. They looked happy and friendly. Lily wanted to join them, but she was afraid to leave her bear. She stayed in a corner and held her backpack tight.
+
+Sam saw Lily and came to say hello. He asked her why she was not playing with the others. Lily said she was shy and did not want to leave her bear. Sam smiled and said he understood. He said he also had a soft toy that he loved, a rabbit. He said he brought his rabbit to the party too, and showed it to Lily. Lily was surprised and happy. She opened her backpack and showed her bear to Sam. Sam said they were both very cute and soft.
+
+Sam invited Lily to play with him and his rabbit. He said they could share their toys and have fun together. Lily agreed and followed Sam. They played games and ate cake with the other kids. They had a lot of fun and made new friends.
+
+Lily learned that it was good to love her bear, but it was also good to share and play with others. She learned that she could be brave and friendly, and still keep her bear close. She thanked Sam for his invitation and his kindness. She gave him a hug and said he was a good friend. Sam hugged her back and said she was a good friend too. They smiled and waved goodbye. Lily went home happy and proud. She hugged her bear and told him about the party. She said he was the best bear in the world, and she was the luckiest girl.
+Tom was a friendly dog who lived with his family on a farm. He liked to run and play with the other animals, but his favorite thing was to eat steak. Every day, his family gave him a big piece of steak for dinner, and he was very happy.
+
+One day, Tom saw a new animal on the farm. It was a big, brown cow with horns and a long tail. Tom was curious and wanted to say hello, but the cow did not look friendly. She mooed loudly and stamped her feet, and Tom felt scared.
+
+"Who are you?" Tom asked the cow.
+
+"I am Bessie, and this is my home now," the cow said. "Your family bought me from the market, and they are going to make steak out of me."
+
+Tom did not believe the cow. He thought she was lying to make him go away. He loved his family, and he knew they would never hurt an animal.
+
+"That's not true," Tom said. "My family is kind and good. They give me steak every day, and they love me. They would never make steak out of you."
+
+The cow laughed and shook her head. "You are a silly dog," she said. "You don't know where steak comes from, do you? Steak is cow meat, and I am a cow. Soon, your family will take me to the barn, and then you will never see me again."
+
+Tom felt confused and sad. He did not want to lose his new friend, but he also did not want to stop eating steak. He did not know what to do.
+
+The next day, Tom did not see the cow on the farm. He looked everywhere, but he could not find her. He asked the other animals, but they did not know where she was. He hoped she was hiding somewhere, and that she would come back soon.
+
+That night, his family gave him a big piece of steak for dinner, as usual. Tom smelled the steak, and it smelled good. But he also remembered the cow, and her words. He wondered if the steak was really her meat, and if she was gone forever.
+
+Tom did not feel hungry anymore. He pushed the steak away, and lay down on his bed. He wished he could see the cow again, and tell her he was sorry. He wished he could believe that steak was not cow meat, and that his family was not bad. He wished he could be happy again.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun making noises and stories with their toys.
+
+"Look, my doll can dance and sing!" Lily said, moving her doll around.
+
+"That's funny, but my car can go fast and make loud sounds!" Tom said, zooming his car on the floor.
+
+They played for a while, then Lily saw a shiny necklace on the table. It was Mom's necklace. She liked how it sparkled and wanted to try it on.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked, reaching for the necklace.
+
+"That's Mom's necklace. You can't touch it. It has value." Tom said, stopping her.
+
+"What is value?" Lily asked, confused.
+
+Tom shrugged. He didn't know what value meant, but he heard Mom say it before. He thought it meant something important or special.
+
+"Value means it's not for playing. It's for Mom only. She will be mad if you touch it." Tom said, trying to sound smart.
+
+Lily frowned. She didn't like that. She wanted to touch the necklace. It looked so pretty and fun.
+
+"But I want to see it. Just for a little bit. Please?" Lily begged, making a sad face.
+
+Tom shook his head. He didn't want to get in trouble. He liked his car more than the necklace anyway.
+
+"No, Lily. Leave it alone. Let's play with our toys. They are more fun." Tom said, grabbing his car.
+
+Lily sighed. She looked at the necklace one more time, then followed Tom. She picked up her doll and pretended to dance and sing again. But she still wondered what value meant. And why Mom had it and she didn't.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big jar of peanuts in the kitchen. They wanted to eat some, but they did not know if they were allowed.
+
+"Let's ask Mom," Tom said.
+
+"No, let's not. She will say no. Let's just take some and hide them," Lily said.
+
+She was very creative and had a plan. She took a big handful of peanuts and put them in her pocket. Then she told Tom to do the same. They ran to the backyard and looked for a good place to eat their peanuts.
+
+But they did not see that Mom was watching them from the window. She saw them take the peanuts and run away. She was not happy. She followed them to the backyard and called them.
+
+"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" she asked.
+
+They turned around and saw Mom. They felt scared and guilty. They did not know what to say.
+
+"Mom, we..." Tom started.
+
+"We found some peanuts and we wanted to eat them," Lily said quickly.
+
+She hoped Mom would not be too angry.
+
+Mom looked at them and shook her head.
+
+"Peanuts are not for you. They are for Dad. He needs them for his work. He makes peanut butter with them. If you eat them, he will not have enough. And you did not ask me. You took them without permission. That is not nice. That is stealing," she said.
+
+She was very serious and stern.
+
+Tom and Lily felt very sorry. They realized they had done something wrong. They did not want to make Mom and Dad sad.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We did not know. We did not mean to steal. We were just hungry and curious. Please forgive us," they said.
+
+They gave Mom the peanuts they had in their pockets. They looked at her with big eyes and hoped she would not be too mad.
+
+Mom sighed and hugged them.
+
+"I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. Next time, if you want something, you have to ask me first. And you have to tell me the truth. Do you understand?" she said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We understand. We promise. We will ask you and tell you the truth. Always," they said.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them.
+
+"Good. I love you. Now, let's go inside and have some lunch. I have something better than peanuts for you. I have sandwiches and cookies. How does that sound?" she said.
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and cheered.
+
+"Yay! That sounds great! Thank you, Mom!" they said.
+
+They held Mom's hand and went inside. They learned their lesson. They learned that stealing is bad and that telling the truth is good. They learned to be honest and respectful. And they learned to enjoy their food.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big bird in the sky. The bird is black and white and has a long neck.
+
+"Look, Lily, look!" Ben says. He points at the bird. "What is that?"
+
+Lily looks at the bird. She does not know what it is. She is confused. She shakes her head.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. It is not a duck. It is not a crow. It is not a pigeon. What is it?"
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is their mom. She is smiling.
+
+"That is a goose, kids. A goose. It is a kind of bird that can fly and swim. Sometimes they make a loud noise like this: honk, honk!"
+
+She makes the noise with her mouth. Lily and Ben laugh. They try to make the noise too.
+
+"Honk, honk, honk!" they say.
+
+The goose hears them. It looks at them. It flaps its wings. It flies away.
+
+"Bye, bye, goose!" Lily and Ben say. They wave their hands. They are happy. They learned a new word today.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they want to play with rubber ducks. They have many rubber ducks of different colors and sizes.
+
+They go to the bathroom and fill the tub with water. They prepare the rubber ducks for the bath. They put them in the water and make them swim. They say "quack, quack" and splash each other.
+
+"Look, Mia, I have a huge rubber duck!" Tom says. He shows Mia a yellow rubber duck that is bigger than his head. "It is the king of the ducks!"
+
+"Wow, Tom, that is a huge rubber duck!" Mia says. She likes the big duck. She wants to play with it. "Can I hold it, please?"
+
+"Okay, Mia, you can hold it. But be careful, it is heavy!" Tom says. He gives Mia the huge rubber duck. Mia holds it with both hands and smiles.
+
+They play with the huge rubber duck and the other rubber ducks. They have fun in the bath. They are happy friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They are four years old. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a toy truck. Anna wants to drive it, but Ben says it is his.
+
+"Give me the truck!" Anna yells.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben yells back.
+
+They pull the truck from each other. They are very angry. They do not want to share.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to their room. She sees them fighting. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop it, Anna and Ben!" Mom says. "You are making a lot of noise. You are waking up your infant brother. He is sleeping in the crib."
+
+Anna and Ben look at the crib. They see their brother. He is very small. He has a cute face. He is quiet.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Anna and Ben say.
+
+Mom smiles. She takes the truck from them. She says, "You need to learn how to share. Sharing is nice. Fighting is not. I will separate the truck into two parts. You can each have one part. Then you can play together again."
+
+She breaks the truck into two pieces. She gives one piece to Anna and one piece to Ben. They look at the pieces. They are not happy. The pieces are not fun. They are terrible.
+
+"Mom, this is not fair!" Anna and Ben say. "We want the whole truck!"
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "This is what happens when you fight. You lose the whole thing. Maybe next time you will think before you fight. Now, say sorry to each other and hug."
+
+Anna and Ben say sorry to each other. They hug. They look at their brother. He is still sleeping. They are quiet. They do not want to wake him up. They decide to play with something else. They hope Mom will fix the truck later. They learn a lesson.
+Tim hurt his knee when he fell off his bike. He cried and ran to his mom. His mom hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tim. Let me see your knee." She looked at his knee and saw a small cut. She said, "You need a bandage to make it better. Come with me."
+
+She took him to the bathroom and got a bandage from the cabinet. She cleaned his cut with some water and put the bandage on his knee. She said, "There, all done. How do you feel?" Tim looked at his knee and smiled. He said, "Thank you, mom. It feels better now."
+
+His mom said, "You're welcome, Tim. You're very brave. Do you want a hug?" Tim nodded and hugged his mom. He said, "I love you, mom." His mom said, "I love you too, Tim."
+
+They went to the living room and saw Tim's sister, Lisa, playing with her dolls. She saw Tim's bandage and said, "What happened to your knee, Tim?" Tim said, "I fell off my bike and got a cut. Mom gave me a bandage." Lisa said, "Can I see your bandage?" Tim said, "Okay." He showed her his bandage.
+
+Lisa said, "Ew, that's disgusting. Your bandage is dirty and red. You need a new one." Tim said, "No, I don't. Mom said it's okay. It's not disgusting. It's cool." Lisa said, "No, it's not. It's gross. You should take it off." Tim said, "No, I won't. It helps my knee. You're mean, Lisa."
+
+Lisa said, "Fine, be that way. I don't want to play with you anyway. You're boring, Tim." She turned away and played with her dolls. Tim said, "I don't care. I don't want to play with you either. You're rude, Lisa." He turned away and played with his toy car.
+
+Their mom heard them arguing and said, "Hey, kids, stop fighting. Why don't you play nicely together?" Tim and Lisa said, "No, we don't want to." Their mom said, "That's not nice. You're brother and sister. You should love each other and share your toys." Tim and Lisa said, "No, we don't have to."
+
+Their mom said, "Yes, you do. Or else you won't get any dessert tonight." Tim and Lisa said, "What? No dessert?" Their mom said, "That's right. No dessert unless you make up and clap your hands." Tim and Lisa looked at each other and said, "Fine." They made up and clapped their hands. Their mom said, "Good. Now you can have dessert. What do you want?" Tim and Lisa said, "Ice cream!" Their mom said, "Okay. Let's go to the kitchen and get some ice cream." Tim and Lisa said, "Yay!" They followed their mom to the kitchen and forgot about their fight. They ate their ice cream and were happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the garden. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue. It looks like a rainbow.
+
+"Wow, look at the balloon!" Anna says. She points to the sky.
+
+"Where is it going?" Ben asks. He gazes at the balloon. He wants to go with it.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe to the east," Anna says. She knows the east is where the sun comes up. She learned that from her mom.
+
+"Can we go to the east too?" Ben says. He likes to explore new places.
+
+"Maybe someday. But not today," Anna says. She holds Ben's hand. "Today we have to stay here. Mom and dad will be back soon. They will bring us ice cream."
+
+Ben smiles. He likes ice cream. He still gazes at the balloon. He hopes it will have a good trip.
+
+Anna smiles too. She hugs Ben. She likes to be with him. They are calm and happy. They watch the balloon until it is out of sight.
+Tom and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to dig holes and make castles with the sand. They also liked to look for shells and stones that were shiny or pretty. Sometimes they saw crabs and fish in the water, but they were careful not to go too far.
+
+One day, they found a big bottle that had something inside. They were curious and wanted to see what it was. They pulled the cork out and saw a piece of paper. It had some words on it, but they could not read them. They asked their mom, who was sitting on a towel nearby, to help them.
+
+Mom looked at the paper and said, "Oh, this is a message from someone who is in trouble. They are on a boat that is broken and they need help. They say they have no food or water, only salt. They hope someone will find their message and rescue them."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad and scared for the person who wrote the message. They wondered who they were and where they were. They wanted to help them. They asked their mom, "Can we do something, mom? Can we rescue them?"
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "You are very kind and brave, my darlings. But we don't know where they are or when they wrote this. It could be very far away or a long time ago. The best thing we can do is to pray for them and hope they are safe. Maybe someone else has found them and rescued them already."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We will pray for them and hope they are safe." They put the message back in the bottle and put the cork back on. They decided to keep the bottle as a reminder of the person who was in trouble. They hoped they would never be in such a situation. They thanked God for their mom and their home and their food and water. They played some more on the beach and had a happy day.
+Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have a big blanket that they use to make a fort. They put the blanket over the sofa and the chairs. They crawl under the blanket and pretend they are in a castle.
+
+One day, their mom comes home from work. She sees the blanket fort and smiles. She walks over to the sofa and says, "Hello, my little princes and princesses. Can I come in your castle?"
+
+Lily and Max peek out from under the blanket. They say, "Yes, mom, you can come in. But you have to sit on the floor. The sofa is our throne."
+
+Mom laughs and says, "Okay, I will sit on the floor. But can I have a hug first?" She bends down and opens her arms. Lily and Max crawl out of the fort and hug their mom. They say, "We love you, mom. We made this fort for you."
+
+Mom hugs them back and says, "I love you too, my sweeties. You made a very nice fort. I am very proud of you." She kisses them on their cheeks and says, "Can I see your toys?"
+
+Lily and Max nod and say, "Yes, mom, come and see. We have a lot of toys." They take their mom's hand and lead her under the blanket. They show her their dolls, cars, books, and puzzles. They play together and have fun. They are happy and cozy in their blanket fort.
+Tom likes to print pictures of animals on his sheet of paper. He has a big box of crayons and he colors the pictures with different colors. He likes to show his pictures to his mom and dad and they say he is very good at printing.
+
+One day, Tom wants to print a picture of a lion. He finds a picture of a lion in his book and he puts his sheet of paper on top of it. He tries to copy the lion with his crayon, but it is hard. He presses too hard and he makes a hole in his sheet of paper. He also makes a hole in his book. He is very sad and he cries.
+
+Mom hears Tom crying and she comes to see what is wrong. She sees the hole in the sheet of paper and the hole in the book. She is not happy. She says to Tom, "Tom, what did you do? You ruined your sheet of paper and your book. You should not print on top of books. You should print on a blank sheet of paper. You should be careful with your crayons. You should be ashamed of yourself."
+
+Tom feels very ashamed. He says to Mom, "I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to print a lion, but I couldn't. I made a mess. I didn't mean to hurt the book. I love the book. Can you fix it?"
+
+Mom hugs Tom and she says, "It's okay, Tom. I know you didn't mean to hurt the book. But you have to learn from your mistake. Next time, you should print on a blank sheet of paper and you should be gentle with your crayons. I can try to fix the book, but it will not be the same. You have to be more careful with your things."
+
+Tom nods and he says, "I will, Mom. I will be more careful. I'm sorry. Can I still print a lion?"
+
+Mom smiles and she says, "Yes, you can still print a lion. But first, you have to help me clean up this mess. And then, you have to say sorry to the book."
+
+Tom helps Mom clean up the mess and he says sorry to the book. He finds a blank sheet of paper and he prints a lion. He colors it with different colors. He shows it to Mom and she says he did a good job. Tom feels happy and he says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Tom. And I'm proud of you for saying sorry and for trying again."
+Ben and Sam are best friends. They like to play with cars and trucks in the yard. They have many cars and trucks, but they have only one big red fire truck. They both want to play with the fire truck.
+
+"Let me have the fire truck, Ben!" Sam says. "I want to be the fireman and save the cat in the tree!"
+
+"No, Sam, I want the fire truck!" Ben says. "I want to be the fireman and put out the fire in the house!"
+
+They start to pull the fire truck from each other. They are not happy. They are angry.
+
+Mom sees them and comes to the yard. She has a tape measure in her hand. She is loyal to both Ben and Sam. She loves them very much.
+
+"Boys, boys, what are you doing?" Mom says. "Why are you fighting over the fire truck? You have so many toys to share!"
+
+"But we both want the fire truck, Mom!" Ben and Sam say.
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I have an idea. Why don't we use the measure to see how long the fire truck is? Then we can cut the fire truck in half and give each of you a piece. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben and Sam look at each other. They look at the fire truck. They look at the measure. They do not like Mom's idea. They do not want to cut the fire truck in half. They love the fire truck.
+
+They shake their heads and say, "No, Mom, no! We don't want to cut the fire truck in half! We want to keep the fire truck whole!"
+
+Mom nods and says, "I see. Well, then you have to learn to yield and take turns. You can play with the fire truck for a little while, and then you have to give it to your friend. That way, you can both enjoy the fire truck and be happy. Can you do that?"
+
+Ben and Sam think about it. They decide to try Mom's idea. They agree to yield and take turns. They say sorry to each other and hug. They are happy. They are best friends.
+
+Mom is happy too. She puts the measure away and watches them play with the fire truck. She is proud of them. She is loyal to them. She loves them very much.
+Emma and Leo were best friends. They liked to play pretend in the garden. Sometimes they were pirates, sometimes they were superheroes, sometimes they were animals. But today they had a new idea. They wanted to pretend they were chefs.
+
+They picked some vegetables from the garden. They had carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, and beans. They washed them in a bucket of water. Then they found some pots and pans and spoons and forks. They set up a table and chairs under a big tree.
+
+"Welcome to our restaurant!" Emma said to Leo. "What would you like to eat?"
+
+Leo looked at the menu that Emma had drawn with a crayon. He was very enthusiastic. He liked to try new things.
+
+"I would like the carrot soup, please," he said.
+
+"Coming right up!" Emma said. She put some carrots in a pot and pretended to cook them over a fire. She stirred them with a spoon and added some water and salt. She poured the soup into a bowl and gave it to Leo.
+
+Leo tasted the soup. He made a face. It was cold and crunchy and not very tasty.
+
+"Is something wrong?" Emma asked.
+
+Leo did not want to hurt Emma's feelings. He knew she had worked hard to make the soup. He smiled and said, "No, it's delicious. Thank you."
+
+Emma was happy. She said, "You're welcome. Would you like some tomato salad next?"
+
+Leo nodded. He hoped the salad would be better than the soup. He did not know that Emma had a surprise for him. She had hidden a worm in one of the tomatoes. She thought it would be funny to see Leo's reaction. She did not know that Leo had a surprise for her too. He had found a snail in the lettuce. He thought it would be funny to see Emma's reaction.
+
+They both served each other the salad. They both took a bite. They both screamed. They both saw the worm and the snail. They both dropped their forks. They both ran away from the table.
+
+They looked at each other. They were both scared and disgusted. But then they started to laugh. They realized they had played a prank on each other. They hugged and said, "Sorry."
+
+They decided to play something else. They did not want to pretend they were chefs anymore. They wanted to pretend they were astronauts. They found some cardboard boxes and some tin foil. They made a rocket and a helmet. They blasted off to the moon. They had more fun than ever. They forgot about the vegetables. They left them on the table.
+
+The next day, they came back to the garden. They saw the vegetables. They saw the worm and the snail. They saw a bird. The bird was eating the vegetables. The bird was happy. The bird liked the vegetables. The bird did not pretend. The bird was real.
+Jill had a jolly diary. She liked to write and draw in it every day. She wrote about her toys, her friends, her pets and her dreams. She drew pictures of flowers, stars, rainbows and hearts. She kept her diary in a secret place under her bed.
+
+One day, Jill went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a merry-go-round. She wanted to play with everything. She ran to the slide and slid down. She laughed and clapped her hands. Then she ran to the swing and asked her dad to push her. She swung high and low. She felt like a bird. Then she ran to the sandbox and made a castle with a bucket and a shovel. She decorated it with shells and stones. Then she ran to the merry-go-round and asked her mom to spin her. She felt dizzy and happy.
+
+While she was playing, she did not see a little boy wander to her bag. He was curious and bored. He opened her bag and saw her diary. He took it out and looked at it. He saw her words and pictures. He did not understand them. He thought they were silly. He tore some pages and threw them away. He scribbled on some pages and made them dirty. He laughed and snorted. He did not care.
+
+Jill finished playing and went back to her bag. She saw her diary in the boy's hands. She saw what he did to it. She felt angry and sad. She shouted at him.
+
+"Hey, that's mine! Give it back! You are bad! You ruined it!"
+
+The boy was scared and surprised. He dropped the diary and ran away. He did not say sorry.
+
+Jill picked up her diary and hugged it. She cried and sobbed. She showed it to her mom and dad. They saw what happened. They felt sorry and mad. They hugged her and kissed her. They said to her.
+
+"We are sorry, Jill. That boy was mean. He should not have done that. Your diary is jolly. Your words and pictures are lovely. We are proud of you. We love you."
+
+Jill felt better and smiled. She thanked them and said to them.
+
+"I love you too. Thank you. My diary is still jolly. I can write and draw more. I can fix it. I can make it new."
+
+She opened her diary and wrote and drew. She wrote about her day. She drew a heart. She was happy. She was jolly.
+Lily was very happy. She had a medal. She got it at school. She ran fast and won a race. She showed her medal to Mom and Dad. They were proud of her.
+
+"Can I mail my medal to Grandma?" Lily asked. "She lives far away. She will like it."
+
+Mom smiled. "That is very kind of you, Lily. But maybe Grandma would like a picture of you and your medal better. Then you can keep your medal and remember your race."
+
+Lily liked that idea. She got her crayons and paper. She drew herself with her medal. She wrote her name and "I love you, Grandma" on the paper. Mom helped her put the picture in an envelope. They wrote Grandma's address on it.
+
+"Let's go to the post office and mail your picture," Mom said. "Then we can get some ice cream. What flavor do you want?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. "Chocolate," she said. "Chocolate is yummy."
+
+Mom nodded. "Chocolate is yummy. And you are a yummy girl. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lily held Mom's hand. She was happy. She mailed her picture to Grandma. She ate her ice cream. She had a medal. She had a good day.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big ball that they threw to each other. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. Then they ran after it and laughed.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy sitting on a bench. He had a book and a dog. The dog was white and fluffy and had a black spot on his ear. Ben and Lily wondered what his name was and if he wanted to play.
+
+They went to the bench and said hello. The boy did not look at them or say anything. He kept reading his book. The dog wagged his tail and licked their hands.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben and this is Lily. We are twins. What's your name?" Ben asked.
+
+The boy did not answer. He turned a page.
+
+"Can we play with your dog? He is very cute. Does he have a name?" Lily asked.
+
+The boy did not answer. He smiled at his book.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad. They thought the boy was rude and did not like them. They took their ball and went to another part of the park.
+
+The boy's mother came to the bench. She saw Ben and Lily playing with their ball. She smiled and waved at them.
+
+"Hello, I'm sorry my son did not talk to you. He is deaf. He can't hear you. He likes to read and play with his dog. His name is Sam and his dog's name is Spot. Do you want to come and meet him?" she asked.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry for the boy. They wondered what it was like to be deaf. They nodded and went to the bench.
+
+The mother showed them how to say hello and their names with their hands. She also showed them how to say Sam and Spot. The boy looked at them and smiled. He put down his book and said hello and his name with his hands. He also said his dog's name and pointed at his ear.
+
+Ben and Lily said hello and their names with their hands. They also said the dog's name and touched his ear. The boy laughed and nodded. He picked up his ball and threw it to them. They threw it back and forth. The dog ran after it and barked.
+
+Ben and Lily were happy. They made a new friend. They wondered what else they could learn from him. They played until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and hugged. They hoped to see him again soon.
+Lily and Ben were camping with their dad in the woods. They had a big tent where they slept at night. They liked to explore the trees and the animals during the day.
+
+One evening, it was very cold and windy. Lily and Ben felt bitter in their noses and ears. They wanted to go inside the tent and be warm. But their dad said they had to help him wrap some wood for the fire.
+
+"But dad, we are cold and tired!" Lily said.
+
+"Me too!" Ben said.
+
+"I know, my loves, but we need the wood to keep us warm and cook our food. If we work together, we will finish faster. And then we can cuddle in the tent and have hot chocolate. Can you help me, please?" their dad said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They loved their dad and wanted to make him happy. They helped him wrap the wood with some rope and carry it to the fire pit. They worked hard and fast. They felt proud of themselves.
+
+Soon, they had a nice fire that made them feel cozy and warm. They went inside the tent and wrapped themselves in blankets. Their dad gave them hot chocolate and read them a story. They smiled and hugged him.
+
+"Thank you for helping me, Lily and Ben. You are very brave and kind. I love you very much," their dad said.
+
+"We love you too, dad. And we are sorry for complaining. We learned that helping others is good and makes us happy," Lily and Ben said.
+
+They kissed their dad good night and fell asleep in the tent, dreaming of more adventures.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many cars, dolls, blocks and animals. One day, they decided to pretend they were in a big city and drove their cars around the floor.
+
+"Beep beep! I am a taxi!" Max said, holding a yellow car. "Where do you want to go?"
+
+"I want to go to the park!" Lily said, holding a pink car. "Can you take me there, please?"
+
+"Sure, hop in!" Max said, being polite. He moved his car next to Lily's and made engine noises.
+
+They drove around the floor, avoiding the blocks and animals. They had fun and laughed a lot. But then, they saw a big problem. Their baby brother, Sam, had crawled into their room and was grabbing their toys.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lily shouted. "That's our park!"
+
+Sam did not listen. He threw the blocks and animals in the air. He bit the dolls and cars. He destroyed their toys.
+
+"Sam, no!" Max yelled. "That's our taxi!"
+
+Sam did not care. He smashed the yellow car with his fist. He broke it into pieces.
+
+Lily and Max were very sad and angry. They ran to their mom and told her what Sam did.
+
+"Sam destroyed our toys!" they cried. "He broke our taxi!"
+
+Mom was sorry. She hugged Lily and Max and said she would buy them new toys. She also said she would teach Sam to be polite and not destroy things.
+
+Lily and Max felt a little better. They hoped Sam would learn to play nicely. They also hoped they would get a new taxi soon.
+Anna liked to play the piano. She had a big piano in her room. She learned how to press the keys and make sounds. Sometimes she sang along with the sounds.
+
+One day, her friend Ben came to visit. He wanted to play the piano too. He asked Anna if he could try. Anna said yes, but she told him to be careful.
+
+Ben sat on the piano bench and started to press the keys. He pressed them very hard and very fast. He made a lot of noise. Anna did not like the noise. She asked him to stop.
+
+"No, I like it. It is fun. Listen, I can reverse the sounds. Look, I press this key and then this one and then this one again. It sounds funny." Ben said.
+
+Anna did not think it was funny. She thought it was rude. She wanted to play the piano her way. She said to Ben, "Stop it. You are hurting the piano. The piano is not a toy. It is a reliable friend. It makes beautiful sounds. You are making ugly sounds. Please stop."
+
+Ben did not listen. He kept pressing the keys. He did not care about Anna or the piano. He only cared about himself.
+
+Anna got angry. She got up from the bench and pushed Ben away. She said, "Go away. You are not my friend. You are a bad boy. You do not know how to play the piano. You do not know how to be nice. Go away."
+
+Ben was surprised. He did not expect Anna to push him. He felt sad and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I did not mean to hurt the piano or you. I just wanted to have fun. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Anna looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She felt sorry too. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry too. I should not have pushed you. But you should not have played the piano like that. It is not fun. It is mean. Can you play the piano nicely?"
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, I can. I will play the piano nicely. I will listen to you and learn from you. You are a good friend. You are a good piano player."
+
+Anna smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend too. You are a good learner. Come, let's play the piano together. We can make beautiful sounds."
+
+They hugged and sat on the bench. They pressed the keys gently and slowly. They made beautiful sounds. They sang along with the sounds. They had fun. They were happy.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They share a room. Their room is gray and has two beds, a table, and a closet. Sara likes to play with dolls and Tom likes to play with cars.
+
+One day, Sara and Tom are bored. They have no new toys and no friends to visit. They look at their room and think it is too gray and dull.
+
+"I have an idea," Tom says. "Let's lie to Mom and Dad. Let's tell them we are sick and we need new toys to feel better."
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She knows lying is bad, but she also wants new toys. She nods and says, "Okay, let's do it."
+
+They go to the kitchen where Mom and Dad are. They pretend to cough and sneeze and say they have a fever. Mom and Dad are worried. They touch their foreheads and feel they are warm. They don't know Tom and Sara put hot water bottles under their pillows to make them hot.
+
+"Oh, my poor babies," Mom says. "You need to rest in your room. We will bring you some soup and medicine."
+
+"And some new toys," Tom adds quickly.
+
+Mom and Dad look at each other. They think something is strange, but they don't want to upset their children. They say they will see what they can do and send them to their room.
+
+Sara and Tom are happy. They think they tricked Mom and Dad and they will get new toys soon. They go to their room and wait.
+
+But after a while, they hear a knock on the door. It is not Mom and Dad. It is a man in a white coat. He has a bag with him. He says he is a doctor and he came to check on them.
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They don't want to see a doctor. They don't want to get shots or pills. They realize they made a big mistake. They lied to Mom and Dad and now they have to face the consequences.
+
+They start to cry and confess. They tell the doctor they are not sick. They tell Mom and Dad they lied. They say they are sorry and they don't want new toys anymore. They just want to hug Mom and Dad and say they love them.
+
+Mom and Dad are angry and sad. They tell Sara and Tom they are disappointed in them. They tell them lying is wrong and hurts people. They tell them they have to learn their lesson and be honest.
+
+They also tell them they love them and they forgive them. They hug them and say they are glad they are not sick. They tell them they can keep their room as it is, because it is their room and they can make it beautiful with their imagination.
+
+Sara and Tom feel ashamed and grateful. They promise to never lie again. They thank Mom and Dad and the doctor. They go back to their room and play with their dolls and cars. They think their room is not so gray and dull after all. They think their room is cozy and fun. They think lying is bad and honesty is good. They think they are lucky to have Mom and Dad and each other. They think they learned a valuable lesson.
+Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the farm with the animals. Lila's favorite animal was the goat. She liked to feed him grass and pet his soft fur. Ben's favorite animal was the horse. He liked to ride him fast and jump over fences.
+
+One day, Lila and Ben made a promise. They said they would swap animals for a day. Lila would ride the horse and Ben would feed the goat. They were very excited to try something new.
+
+The next day, they met at the farm. Lila gave Ben a bag of grass and Ben gave Lila a helmet. They said goodbye to their animals and went to their new ones. Lila climbed on the horse and Ben walked to the goat.
+
+Lila was a little scared of the horse. He was very big and strong. She held the reins tightly and tried to make him go. But the horse did not listen. He did not want to go fast or jump. He only wanted to stand still and eat. Lila felt bored and sad.
+
+Ben was a little bored of the goat. He was very small and quiet. He gave him some grass and tried to pet him. But the goat did not like it. He did not want to be touched or played with. He only wanted to eat and sleep. Ben felt lonely and sad.
+
+Lila and Ben looked at each other from across the farm. They saw that they were not happy. They missed their animals and their friends. They decided to break their promise. They ran to each other and swapped back their animals. They hugged and apologized.
+
+They learned that sometimes it is better to be flexible and try new things, but sometimes it is also good to stick to what you love and know. They rode the horse and fed the goat together, and had a lot of fun. They were best friends again.
+Lily liked to write. She wrote with crayons on paper, with sticks in the sand, with fingers on the window. She wrote her name, her mom's name, her dog's name. She wrote big and small, fast and slow, happy and sad.
+
+One day, she went to the pond with her mom and her dog. The pond was amazing. It had water and fish and ducks and frogs. Lily wanted to write something for the pond. She looked for a stick, but she could not find one. She looked for a rock, but they were too heavy. She looked for a leaf, but they were too wet.
+
+She saw a duck swimming by. She had an idea. She ran to the duck and said, "Hello, duck. Can I write on you?" The duck was surprised. It said, "Quack, quack, no, no. You can't write on me. I'm not paper. I'm a duck. Go away, go away."
+
+Lily was sad. She did not want to hurt the duck. She just wanted to write something nice. She said, "Sorry, duck. I won't write on you. But can you help me? I need something to write on. Do you know where I can find something?"
+
+The duck thought for a moment. It said, "Quack, quack, yes, yes. I know something. Follow me, follow me." The duck swam to the other side of the pond. Lily followed with her mom and her dog. The duck stopped at a big log. It said, "Quack, quack, here, here. You can write on this. It's wood. It's smooth. It's dry."
+
+Lily was happy. She said, "Thank you, duck. You are very kind. You are very smart. You are my friend." She found a stick and wrote on the log. She wrote, "Lily loves the pond. Lily loves the duck." The duck saw what she wrote and smiled. It said, "Quack, quack, you're welcome, you're welcome. I love the pond too. I love you too. You are my friend."
+
+Lily hugged the duck. Her mom took a picture. Her dog barked. They all had a good time at the amazing pond.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They observe the birds, the flowers and the people. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big sign in the park. It has many words on it. Tom and Anna do not know what the words mean. They are curious.
+
+They ask a lady who is sitting on a bench. She is reading a book. She looks kind and friendly.
+
+"Excuse me, lady. What does the sign say?" Tom asks.
+
+The lady smiles and puts down her book. She points to the sign.
+
+"It is a message for everyone who comes to the park. It says: 'Please keep the park clean and tidy. Do not litter or damage the plants and animals. Thank you for your cooperation.' Do you understand?" she explains.
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They understand. They think it is a good message.
+
+"Thank you, lady. We will follow the message. We love the park and we want to keep it nice." Anna says.
+
+The lady nods and praises them.
+
+"You are very welcome, children. You are very kind and responsible. I am glad you enjoy the park. Have a good day." she says.
+
+Tom and Anna thank her again and wave goodbye. They continue to play in the park. They observe the beauty around them. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big sock in their room. It was red and green and had a funny face on it. They thought it was a puppet and put it on their hand.
+
+They made the sock talk and wave to each other. They pretended it was a friend who came to visit them. They had fun with the sock and laughed a lot.
+
+But then, their mom came in and saw the sock. She was not happy. She said, "That is not a puppet, that is my sock! You are naughty children, you took it from my drawer. Give it back to me right now!"
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry. They did not know it was their mom's sock. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to play. We did not mean to be naughty."
+
+Their mom was kind and understood. She said, "It's okay, I forgive you. But next time, ask me before you take something that is not yours. And don't forget to wave goodbye to the sock."
+
+Lily and Tom waved goodbye to the sock and gave it back to their mom. They hugged her and said, "We love you, mom. Thank you for the sock."
+
+The end.
+Lily and her mom were going on a big plane to see grandma. Lily was very happy and excited. She packed her teddy bear and her favorite book in her backpack. Mom packed her clothes and her passport in her suitcase.
+
+"Are you ready, Lily?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom!" Lily said. "Let's go!"
+
+They got in the car and drove to the airport. There were many people and noises there. Lily held Mom's hand and looked around. She saw big planes, small planes, and even a helicopter.
+
+"Wow, Mom, look at that!" Lily pointed at the helicopter. "It's so cool!"
+
+"It is, Lily. But we have to listen to the announcements and find our gate. That's where our plane will be." Mom said.
+
+They walked and listened. They heard a voice say: "Flight 123 to Grandma City, please go to gate 5. Last call."
+
+"That's us, Mom!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is. Come on, hurry!" Mom said.
+
+They ran to gate 5. There was a lady with a badge and a scanner. She smiled at them.
+
+"Hello, can I see your passports, please?" She asked.
+
+Mom gave her their passports. The lady scanned them and gave them back.
+
+"Thank you, you can go now. Have a nice trip!" She said.
+
+"Thank you!" Mom said.
+
+They walked to a long tunnel that connected to the plane. Lily saw the plane up close. It was very big and shiny. It had wings and windows and a door.
+
+"Wow, Mom, look at our plane!" Lily said.
+
+"It's amazing, Lily. And you know what? It can fly very fast and very high. It's very graceful in the sky." Mom said.
+
+"Really? I can't wait to see it!" Lily said.
+
+They got on the plane and found their seats. They buckled their seatbelts and put their backpack and suitcase in the overhead bin. They looked out the window and saw the ground and the clouds.
+
+"Are you ready, Lily?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom! I'm ready to fly!" Lily said.
+
+They held hands and smiled. They were going to see grandma soon. They were very happy and excited.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they see a big sign near a church. The sign has many colors and words. Lily and Ben want to know what the sign says.
+
+They go to the sign and try to read it. But the words are too hard for them. They only know some letters, like A, B, C, and D. They do not know the other letters, like Q, X, Z, and W. They are confused.
+
+They see a man coming out of the church. He is old and kind. He has a book in his hand. He sees Lily and Ben looking at the sign. He smiles and walks to them.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Do you like the sign?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, sir. But we do not know what it says. Can you tell us?" Lily says.
+
+"Of course. The sign says: 'Welcome to the church. God loves you. Come and learn about him.' Do you know who God is?" he says.
+
+Lily and Ben shake their heads. They do not know who God is.
+
+"God is the one who made everything. He made the sky, the sun, the moon, the stars, the earth, the animals, the plants, and you and me. He is very good and very wise. He wants us to be happy and to love him and each other. He is our Father in heaven. Do you want to learn more about him?" he says.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They want to learn more about God. He sounds very nice and very wise.
+
+"Then come with me. I will show you the church. It is a place where we can talk to God, sing to him, and listen to his words. He will be happy to see you. Come on, let's go." he says.
+
+He takes Lily and Ben by the hand and leads them to the church. They follow him and enter the church. They see many people inside. They are smiling and singing. They look happy. Lily and Ben feel happy too. They want to join them and learn about God. They thank the man for showing them the sign and the church. He hugs them and says:
+
+"You are very welcome. I am glad you came. God loves you very much. And so do I."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jug on the table. It was full of water. Lily wanted to drink some water. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jug.
+
+"Be careful, Lily!" Tom said. "The jug is heavy. You might drop it."
+
+Lily did not listen. She grabbed the jug and tried to pour some water into a cup. But the jug was too heavy for her. She lost her balance and leaned too far. The jug slipped from her hand and fell on the floor. Water splashed everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. "I made a big mess!"
+
+Tom was scared. He heard their mom coming. He looked for a place to hide. He saw a flexible basket under the table. He crawled into the basket and pulled it over his head.
+
+Their mom came into the kitchen. She saw the broken jug, the water, and Lily. She was angry.
+
+"Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "Why did you touch the jug? You know it is not a toy."
+
+Lily was sorry. She did not mean to break the jug. She wanted to say sorry, but she could not find the words. She looked at her mom with big, sad eyes.
+
+Their mom saw Lily's eyes. She felt sorry for her too. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you did not mean it. But next time, you have to listen to Tom. He is your big brother. He tries to help you."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Tom."
+
+Their mom smiled. She said, "It's okay. Let's clean up the mess together. And then we can have some cookies and milk."
+
+Lily smiled too. She said, "Okay, mom. Thank you."
+
+She looked for Tom. She wanted to say sorry to him too. She saw the basket under the table. She lifted the basket and saw Tom hiding inside.
+
+"Hi, Tom," she said. "I'm sorry I did not listen to you. You are a good brother."
+
+Tom came out of the basket. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry I scared you. You are a good sister."
+
+They hugged each other. They helped their mom clean up the mess. They had some cookies and milk. They were happy.
+Lily and Max wanted to spend the day at the beach. They packed their toys, towels and hats in a big bag. Mom and Dad drove them to the beach in the car.
+
+When they got to the beach, they saw the blue water and the yellow sand. They heard the waves and the seagulls. They smelled the salt and the sun. They felt excited and happy.
+
+"Can we go in the water, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, but be careful. The water is cold and wet. And don't go too far," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Max ran to the water. They splashed and jumped and laughed. They made bubbles and waves. They saw fish and shells and seaweed. They got very wet and cold.
+
+"Let's build a sandcastle, Max," Lily said.
+
+"OK, let's do it," Max said.
+
+They ran to the sand. They dug and piled and shaped. They used their toys and shells and sticks. They made a big and beautiful sandcastle. They felt proud and happy.
+
+"Look, Mom and Dad, look at our sandcastle!" Lily and Max shouted.
+
+Mom and Dad came to see. They smiled and clapped. They took a picture of Lily and Max and their sandcastle.
+
+"You did a great job, Lily and Max. We are very proud of you," Mom and Dad said.
+
+Lily and Max hugged Mom and Dad. They felt loved and happy.
+
+They had a wonderful day at the beach.
+Anna liked to play with her toy phone. It had a screen that showed pictures and sounds. She pretended to call her friends and family. She also liked to take photos of her toys and her cat.
+
+One day, her toy phone stopped working. The screen was dark and quiet. Anna was sad and angry. She tried to push the buttons, but nothing happened. She threw the toy phone on the floor and cried.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the toy phone on the floor and picked it up. She looked at the screen and saw a crack. She said, "Oh, Anna, what happened to your toy phone? Did you break it?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I broke it. It was not working. I want a new one."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna, but we can't buy a new one right now. We have to save money for other things. You know, your toy phone was very special. It was a gift from your grandma. She gave it to you because she loves you and wants you to be happy. She also wanted you to learn and have fun. Your toy phone was very valuable. Do you know what that means?"
+
+Anna shook her head and said, "No, what does it mean?"
+
+Her mom said, "It means that it was very important and precious. It was not just a thing. It had a meaning and a story. You should not throw it away or break it. You should take care of it and be grateful for it. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, grandma. I was not careful with my toy phone. I did not value it. Can we fix it?"
+
+Her mom said, "Maybe we can. Let's see if we can find some tape and glue. Maybe we can make the screen work again. Or maybe we can find another way to play with it. Maybe we can pretend that it is a radio or a flashlight. What do you think?"
+
+Anna said, "I think that is a good idea. Thank you, mom. You are very dependable. Do you know what that means?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, I do. It means that you can trust me and count on me. I will always love you and help you. And you are very dependable too, Anna. You are a good girl and a good learner. I'm proud of you."
+
+They hugged and kissed and went to find some tape and glue. They fixed the toy phone as best as they could. The screen was still cracked, but it made some sounds and showed some colors. Anna was happy and played with it again. She called her grandma and said, "I love you, grandma. Thank you for my toy phone. I value it very much."
+Sara and Ben were twins. They liked to play and have fun. But they did not like to do what Mom and Dad said. They did not clean their room, they did not eat their vegetables, they did not brush their teeth. They always said, "No, no, no!"
+
+One day, Mom and Dad told them, "We are going on a holiday. We will see the sea and the sand and the sun. But you have to be obedient. You have to pack your bags, you have to wear your hats, you have to hold our hands. Can you do that?"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They wanted to see the sea and the sand and the sun. They packed their bags, they wore their hats, they held their hands. They said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
+
+They went on a car to the holiday place. They saw the sea and the sand and the sun. They were very happy. They played with the waves, they built castles, they ate ice cream. They said, "Wow, wow, wow!"
+
+But then, they saw a big sign. It said, "Danger. Do not swim here. Sharks." Mom and Dad told them, "You have to be obedient. You have to stay away from the water. It is not safe. Can you do that?"
+
+Sara and Ben shook their heads. They did not want to stay away from the water. They wanted to swim and splash and dive. They said, "No, no, no!"
+
+They ran to the water. They did not listen to Mom and Dad. They did not see the big fin. They did not hear the loud roar. They did not feel the sharp teeth.
+
+Mom and Dad saw the shark. They screamed and ran to the water. They tried to save Sara and Ben. But it was too late. The shark had eaten them.
+
+Mom and Dad cried and cried. They hugged each other. They said, "Why, why, why?"
+
+They went back to the car. They did not see the sea and the sand and the sun. They only saw the blood and the tears and the pain. They said, "Bye, bye, bye!"
+
+The moral of the story is: You have to be obedient. You have to do what Mom and Dad say. They know what is best for you. They love you and want you to be safe. If you are not obedient, you may get hurt or die.
+Sara was very scared. She had a big test today at school. She did not like tests. They made her feel dumb and sad. She wished she could stay at home and play with her toys.
+
+She went to school with her mom. Mom gave her a hug and a kiss. "You can do it, Sara. Just try your best and mark the right answers. I am proud of you, no matter what." Mom said.
+
+Sara nodded, but she did not feel better. She walked to her classroom. She saw her teacher, Mr. Lee. He smiled at her. "Good morning, Sara. Are you ready for the test?" He asked.
+
+Sara shook her head. She did not want to talk. She sat at her desk. She saw a paper on it. It had many questions and pictures. She had to mark the pictures that matched the questions. She did not know how to do it. She felt like crying.
+
+She looked around. She saw her friend, Ben. He was sitting next to her. He was very smart. He always knew the answers. He was also very nice. He helped her with her homework sometimes. He saw her looking at him. He winked at her. "Don't worry, Sara. You can do it. Just mark what you think is right. And if you don't know, you can ask me. I will help you." He whispered.
+
+Sara felt a little better. She smiled at him. She decided to try the test. She looked at the first question. It said: "Which animal has wings?" She saw four pictures: a dog, a cat, a bird, and a fish. She knew the answer. She marked the bird. She felt happy. She moved on to the next question.
+
+She did not know that Mr. Lee was watching her. He saw her mark the bird. He also saw her look at Ben. He thought she was cheating. He did not like cheating. He thought it was weird and wrong. He decided to catch her. He waited for the right moment. He was going to make her fail the test. He did not know that Sara was trying her best. He did not know that Ben was trying to help her. He did not know that he was going to make a big mistake.
+Lily and Ben are on a big boat with their mom and dad. They are going to a new place called a port. A port is where many boats stop and people get off and on. Lily and Ben like to look at the water and the birds and the other boats.
+
+One day, they see a very thin boat with a big sail. It is white and blue and has a flag on it. Lily and Ben want to touch it. They ask their mom and dad if they can go closer.
+
+"Can we touch the thin boat, please?" Lily says.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says.
+
+Mom and dad smile and say yes. They hold Lily and Ben's hands and walk to the thin boat. They see a man on the boat. He is wearing a hat and a jacket. He waves at them.
+
+"Hello, hello!" he says. "Do you like my boat?"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Lily and Ben say. "Can we touch it?"
+
+"Sure, you can!" the man says. "But be careful, it is very old and fragile. It is a special boat. It is called a sailboat."
+
+Lily and Ben touch the sailboat gently. They feel the wood and the cloth and the rope. They think it is very pretty and cool.
+
+"Thank you for letting us touch your sailboat!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+"You're welcome!" the man says. "Have a nice day!"
+
+Lily and Ben go back to their big boat with their mom and dad. They are happy and excited. They learned a new word today: sailboat.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they want to watch a video of a big truck. But mom says they have to eat lunch first.
+
+"Can we watch the video now, mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. You have to finish your food first. Then you can watch the video," mom says.
+
+Tom and Sam are not happy. They do not want to eat. They want to watch the video. They start to cry and whine.
+
+"Stop it, boys. You have to eat to be strong and healthy. The video will not go away. It will wait for you," mom says.
+
+But Tom and Sam do not listen. They throw their food on the floor. They make a big mess. Mom is angry. She takes away the video.
+
+"No video for you today, boys. You have to learn to be patient and polite. You have to respect your food and your mom. You have to say sorry and clean up the mess," mom says.
+
+Tom and Sam are very sad. They realize they made a mistake. They say sorry to mom. They help her clean up the mess. They promise to be good next time.
+
+Mom hugs them and smiles. She says she loves them. She says they can watch the video tomorrow if they behave well.
+
+Tom and Sam learn a lesson. They learn that they have to delay their wants sometimes. They learn that they have to be grateful and respectful. They learn that they have to be fit in body and mind. They learn that mom knows best.
+Lily loved pandas. She had a panda toy, a panda book, and a panda hat. She always wanted to see a real panda, but they lived very far away. One day, her mom told her they were going to the zoo, where there was a panda. Lily was very excite. She put on her panda hat and hugged her panda toy.
+
+At the zoo, Lily and her mom walked around and saw many animals. They saw lions, monkeys, elephants, and giraffes. Lily liked them, but she wanted to see the panda. She asked her mom, "Where is the panda, mom?"
+
+"Almost there, Lily. The panda is in the next area. Come on, let's go." Her mom said.
+
+They reached the panda area and saw a big sign that said "Panda". Lily ran to the fence and looked for the panda. She saw a big black and white furry animal sitting on a rock. It was eating bamboo and looked very happy. Lily was very happy too. She said, "Look, mom, look! It's a panda! It's a real panda!"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, it is, Lily. It's a beautiful panda. Do you want to say hello to it?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Hello, panda! I'm Lily. I love you, panda!"
+
+The panda heard Lily and looked at her. It saw her panda hat and panda toy. It thought Lily was a panda too. It was very confuse. It got up from the rock and walked to the fence. It wanted to talk to Lily.
+
+Lily was very surprise. She said, "Wow, mom, wow! The panda is coming to me! The panda wants to be my friend!"
+
+Her mom said, "Be careful, Lily. The panda is a wild animal. It might not be friendly. Stay behind the fence and don't touch it."
+
+But Lily was not careful. She was very curious. She wanted to touch the panda. She reached out her hand and put it through the fence. She touched the panda's fur. It was very soft.
+
+The panda felt Lily's hand and was very angry. It thought Lily was trying to take its bamboo. It did not like that. It growled and bit Lily's hand. It hurt a lot.
+
+Lily screamed and pulled back her hand. She saw blood on her hand and tears in her eyes. She said, "Ow, ow, ow! The panda bit me, mom! The panda bit me!"
+
+Her mom was very scare. She grabbed Lily and ran to the zoo staff. She said, "Help, help! My daughter was bitten by the panda! She needs a doctor!"
+
+The zoo staff were very sorry. They said, "We're so sorry, ma'am. The panda is not used to people. It was a mistake. We'll take you to the hospital right away."
+
+Lily was very sad. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, panda. I just wanted to be your friend."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. It's okay. You'll be fine. The panda didn't mean to hurt you. It was just scare. Maybe next time, you can watch the panda from a distance and enjoy it from afar."
+Sara and Ben were playing a game with their toys. They had a big box and some cars and dolls. They pretended the box was a house and the toys were a family. Sara was the mom and Ben was the dad.
+
+"Let's go to the park, dad," Sara said, making her doll talk.
+
+"OK, mom," Ben said, making his car drive. "But we have to be careful. There are some bitter dogs there. They can bite."
+
+They moved their toys to the other side of the room, where they had a green rug. They said it was the park. They made their toys have fun and play.
+
+But then Ben got bored. He wanted to change the game. He grabbed Sara's doll and threw it in the air.
+
+"Hey, stop it!" Sara shouted. "That's not nice. You can't do that to my doll."
+
+"Yes, I can," Ben said. "It's my game now. I'm the boss."
+
+Sara got angry. She ran to Ben and tried to take her doll back. They started to fight and pull each other's hair.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" they both cried.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting and their toys all over the floor.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+"Ben changed the game," Sara said. "He threw my doll and he said he's the boss."
+
+"No, Sara changed the game," Ben said. "She wanted to play park and I wanted to play something else."
+
+Mom shook her head. She picked up their toys and put them back in the box.
+
+"You both need a time out," she said. "You can't play together if you can't share and be nice. Go to your rooms and think about what you did."
+
+Sara and Ben felt sad. They didn't want to go to their rooms. They wanted to play. But they knew they had to listen to mom. They said sorry to each other and hugged.
+
+"Maybe we can play again later," Sara said.
+
+"Maybe we can play a different game," Ben said.
+
+They went to their rooms and waited for mom to come back. They hoped she would not be bitter.
+Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They liked to see the ducks and geese in the pond. They brought some bread to feed them.
+
+"Look, Mom, a big goose!" Ben said, pointing to a white bird with a long neck and a black beak. "Can I give it some bread?"
+
+"Be careful, Ben," Mom said. "Geese can be difficult. They might bite or chase you if they don't like you."
+
+Ben did not listen. He ran to the goose with a piece of bread in his hand. He tried to throw it to the goose, but the goose was faster. It snapped at Ben's hand and made a loud honk.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cried. He dropped the bread and ran back to Mom. The goose followed him, flapping its wings and honking more.
+
+Lily laughed. She thought it was funny to see Ben and the goose. She picked up another piece of bread and said, "Here, goose, goose. I have some bread for you. You are not difficult. You are nice."
+
+The goose stopped chasing Ben and turned to Lily. It saw the bread and walked to her. Lily held out the bread and smiled. The goose took the bread gently and ate it. Then it rubbed its head against Lily's leg and made a soft sound.
+
+"See, Mom?" Lily said. "The goose likes me. It is not difficult. It is friendly."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. She looked at Ben and said, "Maybe you can try again, Ben. But this time, be gentle and slow. Geese can be friendly, too, if you treat them well."
+
+Ben nodded. He was still scared of the goose, but he wanted to be brave. He picked up another piece of bread and walked to the goose. He held out the bread and said, "Sorry, goose. I did not mean to make you angry. Can we be friends?"
+
+The goose looked at Ben and the bread. It did not honk or bite. It took the bread and ate it. Then it nodded at Ben and made a soft sound.
+
+Ben smiled. He felt happy. He had made a new friend. He said, "Thank you, goose. You are not difficult. You are nice."
+Lily was a little girl who liked to gaze at the stars. Every night, she would go to her window and look up at the sky. She would see the bright dots and the big moon. She would make wishes and tell stories to the stars.
+
+One night, Lily wanted to see the stars better. She asked her mom for a telescope. Her mom said she would get one for her birthday, but that was a long time away. Lily was impatient. She wanted to see the stars now. She tried to think of a way to make her own telescope.
+
+She found a cardboard tube in the trash. She thought it looked like a telescope. She put it to her eye and gazed at the stars. But they did not look bigger. They looked smaller and darker. Lily was sad. She threw the tube away and sucked her thumb.
+
+She heard a knock on the door. It was her dad. He had a surprise for her. He had a real telescope. He had bought it for her birthday, but he could not wait to give it to her. He wanted to share his love of the stars with her.
+
+He set up the telescope in the backyard. He showed Lily how to use it. He pointed it at the moon. Lily looked through the telescope and gasped. She saw the moon up close. She saw the craters and the shadows. She saw a smile on the moon's face. She smiled back.
+
+She thanked her dad and hugged him. She gazed at the stars with him. She felt happy and loved. She made new wishes and stories with the stars. She forgot about her thumb. She had the best night ever.
+One day, Lily and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys and books and they liked to share them. They were happy and kind to each other.
+
+But then, Lily started to sneeze. She sneezed once, twice, three times. She felt sick and her nose was runny. She wanted to go to bed and rest.
+
+Tom saw that Lily was not well. He wanted to help her. He said, "Lily, you need to drink some water and take a nap. I will bring you a blanket and a teddy bear. You will feel better soon."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a lovely brother. I love you."
+
+Tom hugged Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a lovely sister. I hope you get well soon."
+
+He went to the kitchen and got a glass of water for Lily. He also got a blanket and a teddy bear from their room. He opened the door and walked back to Lily.
+
+But on his way, he met their dog, Spot. Spot was playful and wanted to chase Tom. He jumped on Tom and made him drop the glass, the blanket and the teddy bear. The glass broke and the water spilled on the floor. The blanket and the teddy bear got dirty.
+
+Tom was sad and angry. He shouted, "Spot, you are a bad dog! You made a mess and you ruined Lily's things. Go away!"
+
+Spot felt sorry and scared. He ran away and hid under the sofa. He did not mean to hurt Tom or Lily. He just wanted to have fun.
+
+Tom picked up the broken glass and the wet blanket and the teddy bear. He threw them in the trash. He did not have anything to give to Lily. He felt bad and guilty.
+
+He went to Lily and said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I don't have anything for you. Spot was naughty and he made me lose everything. I'm sorry."
+
+Lily looked at Tom and said, "It's okay, Tom. I don't need anything. I just need you. You are still a lovely brother. I forgive you."
+
+Tom felt happy and relieved. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are still a lovely sister. I forgive you too."
+
+They hugged and said, "We love you, Spot. You are still a good dog. Come here and join us."
+
+Spot heard them and came out of his hiding place. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy and grateful.
+
+They all cuddled and said, "We are a happy family. We love each other. We are sorry when we make mistakes. We forgive when we are hurt. We are lovely."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: The story teaches the value of love, forgiveness and kindness. It shows that even when we have problems or conflicts, we can still be nice and caring to each other. It also shows that we can learn from our mistakes and apologize when we are wrong. It also shows that we can accept and appreciate others for who they are, even if they are different or make us angry sometimes.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they see a new girl sitting on a bench. She looks sad and lonely.
+
+"Who is she?" Ben asks Anna.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe she is new here. Let's go and say hello," Anna says.
+
+They walk to the bench and smile at the girl.
+
+"Hi, I'm Anna and this is Ben. What's your name?" Anna says.
+
+The girl looks up and says, "I'm Lily. I just moved here with my mom and dad. I miss my old friends."
+
+"We can be your friends, Lily. Do you want to play with us?" Ben says.
+
+Lily nods and smiles. "Yes, please. That would be nice."
+
+They introduce Lily to their favorite games and toys. They swing, slide, run, and laugh. They have a lot of fun.
+
+After a while, they get hungry. They go to the snack bar and look at the menu. The menu has pictures of different foods and drinks.
+
+"What do you want, Lily?" Anna asks.
+
+Lily points to a sandwich and a juice. "That, please."
+
+Anna and Ben order the same. They pay with their coins and sit at a table.
+
+They share their food and talk about their likes and dislikes. They find out they have a lot in common.
+
+They are compassionate and kind to each other. They make each other happy.
+
+They finish their snack and hug.
+
+"Thank you for being my friends, Anna and Ben. You are very nice," Lily says.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. You are very nice, too. We're glad you're here," Anna and Ben say.
+
+They promise to play again tomorrow. They wave goodbye and go home. They are happy. They have a new friend.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the woods. They had a cabin that their dad made for them. It had a door, a window, and a roof. They liked to pretend it was their house.
+
+One day, they went to the cabin with their dog, Spot. They brought some toys and snacks. They had fun playing with Spot and making up stories. They decided to have a tea party with their stuffed animals.
+
+"Can I have some tea, please?" Sara asked Ben, holding out her cup.
+
+"Sure, here you go," Ben said, pouring some water from a bottle. "Do you want some cookies, too?"
+
+"Yes, please," Sara said, smiling. "They are my favorite."
+
+They gave some cookies to their stuffed animals and Spot. They were having a good time, until they heard a loud noise outside.
+
+"What was that?" Ben asked, looking scared.
+
+"I don't know," Sara said, holding Spot. "Let's go see."
+
+They opened the door and saw a big bear. The bear was sniffing around their cabin. He smelled the cookies and wanted some. He saw Sara and Ben and growled.
+
+"Run!" Ben shouted, grabbing Sara's hand.
+
+They ran away from the cabin, leaving their toys and snacks behind. The bear followed them, but he was slow and clumsy. He tripped over a log and fell down. He got up and saw the cabin. He went inside and ate the cookies. He also ate some of the stuffed animals. He thought they were disgusting, but he was hungry.
+
+Sara and Ben ran to their dad, who was chopping some wood. They told him about the bear and the cabin. He was surprised and worried.
+
+"Are you okay?" he asked, hugging them.
+
+"Yes, we are okay," Sara said, "but the bear ate our cookies and our toys."
+
+"That's too bad," he said, "but I'm glad you are safe. Maybe we can make some new toys and cookies later. And maybe we can include some honey for the bear, so he won't bother us again."
+
+"Okay," Ben said, "but can we also include a lock for the cabin?"
+
+"Sure," he said, "that's a good idea. Come on, let's go home."
+
+They went home with their dad and Spot. They were sad about their cabin, but they were happy to be together. They learned to be careful in the woods, and to share with the bear.
+Lily was a stubborn bunny. She did not like to listen to her mom and dad. She liked to do what she wanted. One day, she wanted to eat all the carrots in the garden. She did not care that the carrots were for everyone. She hopped over the fence and started to nibble on the crunchy carrots.
+
+Mom and dad saw Lily eating the carrots. They were angry. They called her name and told her to stop. But Lily did not stop. She ignored them and ate more carrots. She thought she was clever and sneaky.
+
+But mom and dad were clever too. They waited for Lily to finish eating. Then they hopped over the fence and caught her. They told her she was naughty and greedy. They said she had to punish for eating all the carrots. They took her to the shed and locked her inside. They said she had to stay there until she said sorry.
+
+Lily was sad and scared. She did not like the shed. It was dark and cold and lonely. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. She wished she had shared the carrots. She realized she was not clever and sneaky. She was foolish and selfish.
+
+She cried and cried. She said she was sorry. She said she would not do it again. She said she loved her mom and dad. She hoped they would hear her and forgive her. She hoped they would let her out of the shed. She learned her lesson. She was not a stubborn bunny anymore.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with a long neck and legs. It was an ostrich. The ostrich was hurt. It had a cut on its wing.
+
+"Ouch!" said the ostrich. "I need help. Can you heal me?"
+
+Lila and Tom wanted to help the ostrich. They looked for something to heal the cut. They found some leaves and flowers. They put them on the cut and tied them with a string.
+
+"There," said Lila. "This will make you feel better."
+
+"Thank you," said the ostrich. "You are very kind. But I am still sleepy. Can I rest here for a while?"
+
+"Sure," said Tom. "We will stay with you until you wake up."
+
+Lila and Tom sat next to the ostrich. They sang a song to make it happy. The ostrich closed its eyes and fell asleep. Lila and Tom smiled. They were happy to help a new friend.
+Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy ship. They pretended it was a big ship that could sail on the sea and visit many places. One day, they decided to take their ship to the park and play on the pond.
+
+They put their ship on the water and watched it float. They used a string to make it go where they wanted. They had fun making sounds like a horn and a bell. They saw some ducks and waved at them.
+
+"Hello, ducks!" Ben said. "Do you want to play with our ship?"
+
+The ducks came closer and looked at the ship. They quacked and nibbled at it. They liked the ship too.
+
+"Be careful, ducks!" Mia said. "Don't break our ship!"
+
+But the ducks did not listen. They pulled at the string and the ship. They made the ship go away from Ben and Mia. They made the ship go to the other side of the pond.
+
+Ben and Mia were worried. They ran after their ship. They shouted at the ducks.
+
+"Stop, ducks! Give us back our ship!"
+
+But the ducks did not stop. They kept playing with the ship. They made the ship go under a bridge.
+
+Ben and Mia could not see their ship anymore. They were very worried. They thought they had lost their ship forever.
+
+They sat on the grass and cried. They hugged each other.
+
+"Where is our ship?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know," Mia said. "Maybe the ducks took it to their home."
+
+They wished they had their ship back. They missed their ship.
+
+Then they heard a voice. It was a friendly voice.
+
+"Hello, children! Are you looking for this?"
+
+They looked up and saw a man. He was holding their ship. He had a smile on his face.
+
+He had seen the ducks playing with the ship. He had followed them and caught the ship. He had brought it back to Ben and Mia.
+
+He gave them their ship. He patted their heads.
+
+"Here you go, children. This is a nice ship. I'm sorry the ducks took it from you. They were just curious. They didn't mean to make you sad."
+
+Ben and Mia were happy. They thanked the man. They hugged their ship.
+
+"Thank you, mister!" Ben said. "You are very kind!"
+
+"Yes, thank you!" Mia said. "You are very nice!"
+
+The man smiled. He waved at them.
+
+"You're welcome, children. Have fun with your ship. And be careful with the ducks. They might want to play with it again."
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They waved back at the man.
+
+They put their ship on the water again. They played with it. They were careful with the ducks.
+
+They were not worried anymore. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big dog with a man. The man has a hat and a badge. He is a cop. The cop and the dog are looking for something.
+
+"Can we pet your dog?" Tom asks the cop.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. He is working. He is looking for a bad guy who ran away," the cop says.
+
+The cop and the dog walk away. Tom and Mia follow them. They want to see the bad guy. They see the cop and the dog stop near a big tree. The dog barks and sniffs. The cop looks up. He sees a man hiding in the tree. The man is scared and confused.
+
+"Come down, you are under arrest!" the cop shouts.
+
+The man does not want to come down. He tries to climb higher. But the branch breaks. The man falls down. He lands on the ground. He hurts his leg. The cop and the dog run to him. The cop puts handcuffs on him. The dog wags his tail.
+
+Tom and Mia clap their hands. They think the cop and the dog are brave. They stretch their necks to see better. They smile and cheer.
+
+"Wow, you caught the bad guy!" Tom says.
+
+"Good job, doggy!" Mia says.
+
+The cop and the dog look at Tom and Mia. They smile too. They are happy and proud.
+
+"Thank you, kids. You are very nice. Do you want to ride in my car?" the cop asks.
+
+Tom and Mia nod their heads. They are excited. They want to ride in the cop car. They follow the cop and the dog. They get in the car. The cop turns on the siren and the lights. He drives away. Tom and Mia wave to the park. They have a lot of fun. They like the cop and the dog. They are their new friends.
+Tom was a farmer who had many cows. He liked to sell the cows' milk and cheese to the people in the town. But Tom was very cheap. He did not want to spend money on good food or water for his cows. He only gave them dry grass and dirty water.
+
+One day, a big storm came. The wind was very loud and the rain was very hard. Tom was scared. He wanted to lead his cows to a safe place. But he did not have a barn or a shed for them. He only had a small fence around his field. He tried to lead his cows to the fence, but they did not want to follow him. They were hungry and thirsty and sick. They did not like Tom.
+
+The storm was too strong. It broke the fence and knocked down Tom. The cows ran away. They looked for a better place to live. They found a nice farm with green grass and clean water and a kind farmer. They stayed there and were happy.
+
+Tom was very sad and angry. He lost all his cows and his money. He had no milk or cheese to sell. He had no food or water for himself. He was alone and poor. He wished he had been nicer to his cows. But it was too late. The end.
+Lily was a tall girl who liked to go to the zoo with her mom. She loved to see all the different animals, but her favorite was the otter. She liked how the otter swam and played in the water, and how it had a shiny brown coat and a long tail.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new otter in the zoo. It was smaller than the other otters, and it looked scared and lonely. Lily felt sorry for the new otter, and wanted to be its friend. She asked her mom if she could tell the new otter a story.
+
+Her mom said yes, and helped Lily climb up on a bench near the otter's pool. Lily looked at the new otter and smiled. She said, "Hello, otter. My name is Lily. I have a story for you. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+The new otter looked at Lily with curiosity. It swam closer to the bench and nodded its head. Lily was happy that the otter wanted to listen. She said, "Once upon a time, there was a tall girl who liked to go to the zoo. She saw a new otter who was scared and lonely. She told the otter a story, and they became friends. The end."
+
+The new otter liked Lily's story. It clapped its paws and made a happy noise. It jumped out of the water and gave Lily a wet hug. Lily giggled and hugged the otter back. She said, "You are a good otter. I like you. Do you want to hear another story?"
+
+The new otter nodded its head again. Lily smiled and said, "Okay, let me tell you another story. This one is about a big bear who liked to eat honey..."
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry. It had a long tail and sharp teeth.
+
+"Hello, doggy!" Lily said. She wanted to pet the dog. She smiled at the dog.
+
+"No, Lily, don't!" Tom said. He was scared of the dog. He thought the dog might bite. He pulled Lily back.
+
+The dog barked. It was not a friendly bark. It was a loud and angry bark. The dog ran towards Lily and Tom.
+
+Lily and Tom dropped their toys and ran away. They ran to the bench where their mommies were sitting. They hugged their mommies and cried.
+
+"Shh, shh, it's okay," their mommies said. They kissed their heads and rubbed their backs. They made them feel safe.
+
+The dog's owner came. He was a nice man. He said he was sorry. He said his dog was not mean, but he was not used to children. He said he would keep his dog on a leash from now on.
+
+He gave Lily and Tom their toys back. He also gave them some cookies. The cookies were sweet and crunchy. Lily and Tom liked the cookies. They said thank you to the man.
+
+They smiled at the man and the dog. They were not scared anymore. They learned to be careful with strange dogs. They also learned to be kind and forgiving. They were happy and they were best friends.
+Tim and Sam are two birds who live in a cage. They do not like the cage. They want to fly and see the world. But the cage has a lock and a big man who feeds them.
+
+One day, the big man forgets to close the lock. Tim and Sam see their chance. They push the door with their beaks and fly out of the cage. They are very happy and excited.
+
+"Look, Sam, we are free!" Tim says.
+
+"Yes, Tim, we are free! Let's go and explore!" Sam says.
+
+They fly around the room and see many things. They see a window, a lamp, a sofa, a table, and a cat. The cat sees them and wants to catch them. The cat jumps on the table and tries to reach them.
+
+"Watch out, Tim, the cat is coming!" Sam says.
+
+"Oh no, Sam, the cat is scary!" Tim says.
+
+They fly away from the cat and look for a way out. They see the window and fly towards it. But the window is closed. They hit the glass and fall down.
+
+"Ouch, Tim, that hurts!" Sam says.
+
+"Ouch, Sam, me too!" Tim says.
+
+They get up and look for another way out. They see a door that is open. They fly towards the door and see the big man. The big man sees them and wants to put them back in the cage.
+
+"Come here, Tim and Sam, you naughty birds!" the big man says.
+
+"No, no, no, we don't want to go back!" Tim and Sam say.
+
+They fly past the big man and out of the door. They see the sky, the sun, the trees, and the flowers. They are very happy and proud.
+
+"We did it, Sam, we did it! We escaped!" Tim says.
+
+"Yes, Tim, we did it! We are clever!" Sam says.
+
+They fly away and enjoy their freedom. They never go back to the cage. They are free birds.
+Tim and Lily liked to play dress up. They had many costumes in their big box. They had hats and capes and masks and wings. They liked to pretend they were different things.
+
+One day, they decided to be soldiers. They put on green clothes and helmets and boots. They found some sticks to be guns. They marched around the yard and said, "Hut, hut, hut!"
+
+They saw a big hill with a flag on top. They wanted to capture the flag. They marched up the hill and said, "Hut, hut, hut!" But when they got to the top, they saw something else. It was a big dog. It was not a friendly dog. It was a mean dog. It barked and growled and showed its teeth.
+
+Tim and Lily were scared. They dropped their sticks and ran away. They marched down the hill and said, "Help, help, help!" They ran back to their house and closed the door. They took off their costumes and hugged each other. They were glad they were safe.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that playing dress up was fun, but not always good. They learned that some things were not what they seemed. They learned that some things were better left alone. They learned that being soldiers was not for them.
+Sam and Mia were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big ladder near their house. It was leaning on the wall. They were curious and enthusiastic. They wanted to climb the ladder and see what was on the roof.
+
+"Let's go, Sam!" Mia said. "It will be fun!"
+
+"OK, Mia!" Sam said. "But we have to be careful. And we have to leave before Mom and Dad see us."
+
+They climbed the ladder slowly and carefully. They reached the roof and looked around. They saw birds, trees, cars, and clouds. They felt happy and excited.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Mia said. "Look at all the things we can see!"
+
+"Yeah, this is awesome!" Sam said. "But we can't stay here too long. Mom and Dad will be worried."
+
+They decided to go down the ladder. But when they turned around, they saw a big problem. The ladder was gone! Someone had moved it. They were stuck on the roof!
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We can't get down!"
+
+They hoped that someone would hear them and help them. They wished they had not climbed the ladder. They learned a lesson. They should not leave their yard without permission. And they should not go on the roof. It was not safe.
+Lila is a hippo who likes to swim and play in the water. She has many friends who swim with her, like Tom the turtle and Nina the fish. They have fun splashing and diving and racing each other.
+
+But Lila wants to be faster and stronger. She wants to win more races and swim farther. She wants to improve her skills and be more fit. So she decides to practice every day and eat healthy food.
+
+She swims faster and faster, and tries new moves and tricks. She eats more fruits and vegetables, and less cake and candy. She feels more energy and more happy.
+
+Soon, Lila notices that she can swim longer and faster than before. She can do flips and twists and jumps. She can beat Tom and Nina in races, and they cheer for her. She can swim to new places and see new things. She has improved a lot and is very fit.
+
+Lila is proud of herself and her friends are proud of her too. They still swim and play together, and have fun. Lila is a happy and fit hippo.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They are very happy.
+
+"Look, our snowman is smiling!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, he is. He likes the snow," Ben says.
+
+They hear a loud noise. It is a big truck. The truck stops near their snowman. A man gets out of the truck. He has a big box.
+
+"Hello, kids. I have some food for you. Do you want some?" the man says.
+
+Anna and Ben are curious. They run to the truck. They see the box. It has a picture of a cake on it. The cake is pink and has white frosting.
+
+"Wow, a cake!" Anna says.
+
+"Can we have some?" Ben says.
+
+"Sure, you can. But you have to be quick. The cake is frozen. It will melt soon," the man says.
+
+He opens the box. He takes out a big slice of cake. He gives it to Anna and Ben. They take a bite. The cake is cold and sweet. They like it.
+
+"Thank you, mister!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy the cake. And be careful with the snowman. He might get jealous," the man says.
+
+He laughs and gets back in the truck. He drives away.
+
+Anna and Ben finish the cake. They go back to their snowman. They give him a hug.
+
+"Don't worry, snowman. We still love you. You are our friend," Anna says.
+
+"Yes, you are. And you have the best nose ever," Ben says.
+

+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big fire in a house. The fire is red and orange and makes a lot of noise.
+
+"Look, Lila, fire!" Tom says. He points to the house.
+
+"Fire is bad, Tom. Fire can hurt people and things. We should go away," Lila says. She is scared of the fire.
+
+"But fire is also good, Lila. Fire can keep us warm and cook food. Fire is regular," Tom says. He is curious about the fire.
+
+"No, Tom, fire is not regular. Fire is only good when it is small and safe. This fire is big and dangerous. Come on, let's go find a grown-up," Lila says. She pulls Tom by the hand.
+
+They run to the park gate and see a fire truck. The fire truck has a loud siren and a long hose. The fire truck stops near the house. Some men get out of the fire truck. They wear helmets and coats. They are firefighters. They use the hose to spray water on the fire.
+
+"Wow, Lila, look at the firefighters. They are brave and strong. They can stop the fire," Tom says. He admires the firefighters.
+
+"Yes, Tom, they are. They can help people and things. They are good," Lila says. She smiles at the firefighters.
+
+They watch the firefighters work until the fire is gone. Then they wave to the firefighters and say thank you. The firefighters wave back and say you're welcome. Lila and Tom are happy. They go back to the park and play. They are friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They found some bread, cheese, jam and butter in the fridge. They also saw a big knife on the counter. Lily wanted to use the knife to cut the bread, but Tom said no.
+
+"Knife is bad. Knife can hurt you. Mommy always says be careful with knife," Tom said.
+
+"But I want to be a big chef. Big chefs use knives. You are a baby," Lily said. She grabbed the knife and tried to cut the bread. The knife was too sharp and too heavy for her. She slipped and cut her finger. She screamed and dropped the knife. The knife fell on the floor and broke a plate. The bread, cheese, jam and butter flew everywhere. The kitchen was messy.
+
+Mommy heard the scream and ran to the kitchen. She saw Lily crying and bleeding. She saw Tom scared and hiding. She saw the knife and the mess. She was angry and sad.
+
+"What did you do? How could you be so naughty? You know you are not allowed to touch the knife. You could have hurt yourself or Tom. You made a big mess. You are in big trouble," Mommy said.
+
+She took Lily to the bathroom and wrapped her finger with a bandage. She told Tom to stay in the kitchen and wait for her. She said she would clean the mess and then talk to them. She said they would not get any dessert or playtime today. She said they would have to say sorry and learn their lesson. Lily and Tom felt bad. They wished they had listened to Tom and not touched the knife. They wished they had played something else. They wished they had not made Mommy angry and sad. They wished they could go back and change what they did. But they could not. They had to face the consequences of their actions. They had a bad ending.
+Tom and Lily were walking with their mom to the park. On the way, they saw a big building with a lot of smoke coming out of it. Tom asked his mom, "What is that?"
+
+"That is a factory, Tom. A factory is a place where people make things, like toys or clothes or cars."
+
+"What kind of things do they make in that factory?" Lily questioned.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe they make candy or cookies or juice."
+
+Tom and Lily liked candy and cookies and juice. They wanted to see what the factory made. They asked their mom if they could go inside.
+
+"No, Tom and Lily. You can't go inside the factory. It is not safe for children. There might be machines or chemicals or fire that could hurt you. And the factory might be very noisy and dirty and smelly. You wouldn't like it there."
+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They wanted to see the factory. They wondered what it was like inside. They walked to the park with their mom. They saw a man selling ice cream. They asked their mom if they could have some ice cream.
+
+"Sure, Tom and Lily. You can have some ice cream. What flavor do you want?"
+
+Tom wanted chocolate and Lily wanted strawberry. The man gave them each a cone with a scoop of ice cream. They licked their ice cream happily. But then they made a sour face.
+
+"Yuck! This ice cream is sour!" Tom said.
+
+"Me too! This ice cream is sour!" Lily said.
+
+They looked at the man. He smiled and said, "Sorry, kids. This ice cream is from the factory. They make sour ice cream there. Do you want to try another flavor?"
+
+Tom and Lily shook their heads. They threw away their ice cream. They didn't want any more ice cream from the factory. They decided they liked the park better than the factory. They played on the swings and the slide and the sandbox. They had fun with their mom. They forgot about the sour ice cream and the factory. They were happy.
+Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. Tom had a stick that he used as a sword. Anna had a crown that she made from flowers.
+
+"Look, Anna, I have a sword!" Tom said. "I can fight dragons and bad guys with it."
+
+"That's cool, Tom," Anna said. "But be careful, swords can hurt."
+
+Tom nodded. He knew swords were not toys. He only used his stick for fun.
+
+Then they saw a new boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. He had a big book in his lap.
+
+"Who is that?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know," Anna said. "Maybe he is new here. Do you want to say hi?"
+
+Tom nodded again. He and Anna walked over to the bench.
+
+"Hello," Tom said. "What is your name?"
+
+The boy looked up. He smiled a little.
+
+"My name is Ben," he said.
+
+"Hi, Ben," Anna said. "We are Tom and Anna. We are playing knights and princesses. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Ben nodded. He closed his book and put it down.
+
+"Sure, I like knights and princesses," he said.
+
+Tom smiled. He liked to make new friends.
+
+"Great," he said. "I have a sword. Do you want to see it?"
+
+He showed Ben his stick.
+
+"Wow, that's a nice sword," Ben said.
+
+"Thanks," Tom said. "It's easy to use. You just swing it like this."
+
+He demonstrated how to swing his stick.
+
+"Can I try?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure," Tom said. He handed Ben his stick.
+
+Ben took the stick and swung it. He liked how it felt.
+
+"Wow, this is fun," he said.
+
+Tom and Anna clapped.
+
+"You are good at it," Anna said.
+
+"Thanks," Ben said. He gave Tom back his stick.
+
+"Maybe we can find you a sword too," Tom said.
+
+"Or a crown," Anna said.
+
+"Or both," Ben said.
+
+They laughed. They were happy. They had a new friend. They played together until it was time to go home.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. The balloon is colorful. It has red, blue, yellow, and green. Sara and Ben stare at the balloon. They want to touch it.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" Sara says. "The balloon is so pretty!"
+
+"Yes, Sara, yes!" Ben says. "The balloon is so big!"
+
+They run to the balloon. They try to catch it. But the balloon is too high. They cannot reach it. They feel sad.
+
+A man sees Sara and Ben. The man has a basket. The basket has many small balloons. The small balloons are colorful too. The man smiles at Sara and Ben.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the man says. "Do you like balloons?"
+
+"Yes, yes, we do!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+"Would you like a balloon?" the man asks.
+
+"Yes, yes, we would!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+The man gives Sara and Ben each a small balloon. Sara gets a red one. Ben gets a blue one. They are happy. They hug the man.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+"You're welcome, you're welcome," the man says. "Have fun with your balloons!"
+
+Sara and Ben hold their balloons. They feel their hearts beat fast. They smile at each other. They are friends. They like to play in the park. They like colorful balloons.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and look for bugs and worms. They found a big mushroom that was brown and round. Ben wanted to pick it and see what was inside.
+
+"Look, Lily, a mushroom! Let's raise it and see!" Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben, don't touch it! It might be bad!" Lily said. She was frightened of the mushroom. She had heard that some mushrooms could make you sick or hurt you.
+
+"But I want to see! Maybe there is a fairy or a bug under it!" Ben said. He did not listen to Lily. He raised the mushroom with his hands.
+
+Suddenly, a loud hiss came from the mushroom. It was not a mushroom at all. It was a snake that was hiding under the dirt. The snake was angry that Ben had disturbed it. It opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth.
+
+"Ah! Snake! Snake!" Ben screamed. He dropped the mushroom and ran away. Lily ran after him. They were both very scared.
+
+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on the porch. She saw them and hugged them.
+
+"What happened, my loves? Why are you so frightened?" she asked.
+
+"There was a snake in the garden! It looked like a mushroom, but it was a snake!" Ben said.
+
+"Oh, dear, that sounds scary. But don't worry, it was probably just a garter snake. They are not dangerous. They just like to hide under things. Next time, be careful and don't raise things that you don't know what they are. OK?" she said.
+
+"OK, mom. We're sorry. We won't do it again," Ben and Lily said.
+
+They felt better and went back to play. But they stayed away from the mushroom that was really a snake. They learned their lesson.
+Lily likes to zoom with her toy car. She makes it go fast on the floor and on the sofa. She likes to make vroom-vroom noises with her mouth. She has fun with her toy car.
+
+One day, Lily sees a big glass on the table. It is full of water and has ice and a straw. Lily thinks it looks good. She wants to drink it. She takes her toy car and zooms to the table. She reaches for the glass.
+
+But the glass is too far and too heavy. Lily cannot hold it. The glass falls and breaks. The water spills everywhere. The ice and the straw fly in the air. Lily hears a loud crash. She is scared and sad.
+
+Mommy hears the noise and comes to see. She sees the mess and the broken glass. She is angry and worried. She says, "Lily, what did you do? This is bad. You could have hurt yourself. You should not touch the glass. You should play with your toy car."
+
+Lily feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted to drink the water. I did not mean to break the glass. I was zooming with my toy car." Mommy hugs Lily and says, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you are not hurt. But you have to be careful. Next time, ask me for water. And do not zoom near the glass. Let's clean up the mess together." Lily nods and says, "Okay, Mommy. I love you." Mommy says, "I love you too, Lily." They clean up the mess and then zoom with the toy car.
+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their toys, read books, and sing songs. They always shared and helped each other. They were very happy.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They ran to the slide and took turns going down. They laughed and had fun.
+
+Then, they saw a big dog. The dog was brown and furry. It had a long tail and sharp teeth. It barked very loud. Anna and Ben were scared. They ran to their moms and hugged them.
+
+The dog ran after them. It jumped on the slide and slid down. It knocked over their toys and books. It bit their songs and tore them. It made a big mess.
+
+Anna and Ben cried. They were very sad. Their toys, books, and songs were gone. They could not play, read, or sing anymore. The dog had vanished their things. They had no peace. They had a bad day.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. But the slide is in the dark part of the park. Lily is scared of the dark. Ben says it is fine. He says he will go first and then take Lily's hand.
+
+Ben goes on the slide. He laughs and says it is fun. He tells Lily to come. Lily walks to the slide. She is still scared. She sees Ben at the bottom. He smiles and reaches his hand. Lily gets on the slide. She closes her eyes.
+
+But Ben is not nice. He has a plan. He wants to scare Lily. He runs away and hides. Lily slides down. She opens her eyes. She does not see Ben. She does not see his hand. She sees only dark. She is alone. She cries and cries. She calls for Ben. But Ben does not come. He laughs and laughs. He thinks it is funny. Lily is very sad. She is very scared. She wants to go home. But she does not know how. She is lost in the dark. The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big blue ball. They want to play with it.
+
+"Can we have the ball, please?" Lily asks a boy who is holding it.
+
+"No, it is mine. Go away!" the boy says. He is bad. He does not share.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They walk away. They see a girl who is sitting on a bench. She is crying.
+
+"What is wrong?" Ben asks her.
+
+"I lost my doll. I can't find her anywhere. She is my best friend." the girl says.
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry for her. They want to help.
+
+"Maybe we can find your doll. What does she look like?" Lily asks.
+
+"She has yellow hair and a pink dress. She is very pretty." the girl says.
+
+Lily and Ben look around. They see a yellow and pink thing under a tree. They run to it. It is the doll!
+
+"Look, we found her!" Lily says. She picks up the doll and gives it to the girl.
+
+The girl is very happy. She hugs the doll and smiles.
+
+"Thank you so much! You are very kind. Do you want to be my friends?" she asks.
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They smile too.
+
+"Yes, we do. What is your name?" Ben asks.
+
+"My name is Anna. What are yours?" she asks.
+
+"I am Lily and this is Ben. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, I do. Do you like my ball?" Anna asks. She points to the big blue ball that the bad boy left behind.
+
+Lily and Ben are surprised. They look at the ball. They look at Anna. They look at each other.
+
+"Yes, we do. Can we share it?" Ben asks.
+
+"Of course. Sharing is fun. Come on, let's go!" Anna says.
+
+Lily, Ben and Anna run to the ball. They play with it. They have a lot of fun. They are good friends. They are happy.
+Lily was a big girl. She was three years old and very independent. She liked to do things by herself, like dressing up, brushing her teeth, and reading books. She also liked to help her mom and dad in the kitchen, especially when they baked cookies or cakes.
+
+Today was a special day. It was Lily's birthday. She was very excited. She had a new dress, a new doll, and a big balloon. She also had a lot of friends coming over to celebrate with her. She wanted to make them happy and give them something sweet to eat.
+
+She asked her mom if she could help her make the frosting for the cake. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and follow the instructions. She gave Lily a bowl, a spoon, and a bag of sugar. She told her to pour some sugar in the bowl and mix it with some butter and milk. She said she would be back in a minute.
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She opened the bag of sugar and poured some in the bowl. Then she poured some more. And some more. She thought the more sugar, the better. She mixed it with the spoon, but it was very hard. She decided to use her hands instead. She squished and squeezed the sugar and butter and milk. It felt funny and sticky. She liked it.
+
+She heard her mom coming back. She wanted to show her what she had done. She picked up the bowl and ran to her mom. But she tripped on the rug and fell down. The bowl flew out of her hands and landed on her mom's head. The sugar and butter and milk splashed all over her mom's face and hair and clothes.
+
+Lily gasped. She was scared. She thought her mom would be angry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to help. I wanted to make the frosting."
+
+Her mom looked at her. She was covered in sugar and butter and milk. She felt wet and sticky. She could have been angry. But she saw Lily's face. She saw her big eyes and her sweet smile. She saw how much she loved her and wanted to make her happy. She laughed. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. You did help. You made me laugh. And you made the frosting very sweet. Happy birthday, my independent girl. I love you."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They had a lot of fun. But they did not see the big cloud that came over the sun. The cloud was dark and loud. It made a scary noise. Boom!
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They ran to their mom. "Mom, mom, what is that?" they cried.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. That is just thunder. It is the sound of the cloud. Sometimes the cloud makes thunder and rain. But it will not hurt you. It is just water."
+
+Lily and Tom looked at the sky. They saw drops of rain falling. They felt the rain on their skin. It was wet and cold. They did not like it.
+
+"Can we go home, mom?" they asked.
+
+"Sure, we can go home. But first, let me tell you something. Do you know why the cloud makes thunder and rain?" mom asked.
+
+Lily and Tom shook their heads.
+
+Mom said, "The cloud makes thunder and rain because it is tired. It has been carrying a lot of water for a long time. It needs to let go of some water. That is why it rains. And when it rains, it makes room for the sun to come back. The sun is always there, behind the cloud. It is waiting for its turn to shine. The sun is not scared of the thunder. It knows that the thunder is just a noise. And the sun is not angry at the cloud. It knows that the cloud is just tired. The sun and the cloud are friends. They share the sky. They take turns to give us light and water. They are both good for us."
+
+Lily and Tom listened to mom. They felt less scared. They understood that the thunder and rain were not bad. They were just part of nature. They learned to respect the sun and the cloud. They thanked mom for her story. They said, "We love you, mom. And we love the sun and the cloud too."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, my loves. And I am proud of you. You are brave and smart. Now, let's go home and have some hot chocolate. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and cheered. They held mom's hand and walked home. They were happy.
+Tom and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their dog, Rex. Rex is a big, brown dog. He likes to run and jump and catch balls. Tom and Ben are competitive. They always want to win.
+
+One day, they decide to have a race with Rex. They go to the park and find a big field. They draw a line with a stick. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and start to run. Rex runs with them. He is very fast.
+
+Tom and Ben try to move faster. They want to beat Rex and each other. They do not look where they are going. They bump into each other. They fall down. Rex keeps running. He crosses the line. He wins the race. He barks and wags his tail. He is happy.
+
+Tom and Ben are not happy. They are angry and sad. They blame each other. They say, "You pushed me!" and "You tripped me!" They start to fight. They do not see Rex coming back. Rex sees them fighting. He does not like it. He runs to them and licks their faces. He tries to make them stop.
+
+Tom and Ben feel Rex's tongue. They stop fighting. They look at Rex. They see his big eyes and his wet nose. They remember how much they love him. They feel sorry. They hug Rex. They hug each other. They say, "Sorry, Rex. Sorry, brother. You are both good runners. We are both good friends."
+
+Tom and Ben learn a lesson. They learn that being competitive is not always good. They learn that being kind and fair is better. They learn that playing with Rex is more fun than fighting with each other. They decide to play with Rex again. They throw the ball for him. They cheer for him. They laugh and have fun. They are happy. Rex is happy. The end.
+Sara likes math. She likes to count and add and take away. She likes to play with blocks and shapes and puzzles. She likes to draw numbers and patterns and graphs. Math is fun for Sara.
+
+But not everyone likes math. Some of her friends think math is hard and boring. They like to play with dolls and cars and balls. They like to sing and dance and act. They like to talk and laugh and joke. They are popular with other kids.
+
+One day, Sara wants to play math with her friends. She brings her math book and her math toys to school. She asks her friends if they want to play math with her. But they say no. They say math is not fun. They say math is for nerds. They say they want to play something else.
+
+Sara feels sad and lonely. She does not understand why her friends do not like math. She thinks math is cool and interesting. She thinks math is for everyone. She does not want to be a nerd. She wants to be popular.
+
+She sighs and puts away her math book and her math toys. She tries to join her friends in their games. But she does not enjoy them. She does not know how to sing and dance and act. She does not know how to talk and laugh and joke. She feels out of place and awkward.
+
+She wishes she had a friend who liked math as much as she did. She wishes she could play math and be popular. She wonders if there is such a friend in the world.
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. They liked to skip and run and swing and slide. They also liked to learn new words. They had a book with pictures and words from different languages. They tried to say the words and guess what they meant.

+One day, they saw a lady with a big hat and a small dog. The lady was talking on her phone. She was using a language that Lily and Sam did not know. It sounded funny and fast. They wanted to learn it.
+
+They skipped to the lady and said hello. The lady looked at them and smiled. She said hello back, but in a different way. She said "bonjour". Lily and Sam repeated "bonjour". They asked her what it meant. The lady said it meant hello in French. She said French was her language.
+
+Lily and Sam were curious. They asked her to teach them more French words. The lady was kind. She taught them how to say thank you, goodbye, dog, hat and expensive. Lily and Sam repeated the words and tried to remember them. They said "merci, au revoir, chien, chapeau and cher". They thought French was a fun and beautiful language.
+
+They thanked the lady and said goodbye. They skipped back to their book. They looked for the page with French words. They found some of the words they learned from the lady. They felt proud and happy. They decided to learn more languages. They said languages were not expensive, but priceless.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to wander. He liked to see new things and meet new people. One day, he wandered away from his mom at the park. He saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. He wanted to play with them all.
+
+He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He slid down fast and laughed. He ran to the swing and pushed it hard. He swung high and low and felt the wind. He ran to the sandbox and picked up a shovel. He dug a hole and found a wallet.
+
+Tom was curious. He opened the wallet and saw some cards and some money. He thought they were pretty and shiny. He wanted to keep them. He put the wallet in his pocket and ran to the next thing.
+
+He did not see the man who was looking for his wallet. The man was angry and sad. He had lost his wallet and he needed it. He had his ID, his credit card, and his rent money in it. He had worked hard to get them. He felt fragile and scared.

+He saw Tom running with a bulge in his pocket. He recognized his wallet. He ran after Tom and shouted. "Hey, kid, stop! That's my wallet! Give it back!"
+
+Tom heard the man and got scared. He did not know what to do. He dropped the wallet and ran away. He ran back to his mom and hugged her. He told her what happened and said he was sorry.
+
+His mom was worried and angry. She scolded Tom for wandering away and taking the wallet. She told him it was wrong and bad. She made him apologize to the man and give back the wallet.
+
+The man was relieved and grateful. He thanked Tom and his mom and took his wallet. He checked his cards and money and saw they were all there. He smiled and said he was sorry for shouting. He gave Tom a candy and said he was a good boy.
+
+Tom felt ashamed and happy. He learned a lesson and got a candy. He said he was sorry and thank you. He promised to not wander away and take things again. He held his mom's hand and went home.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. They had a big box of toys that they shared. One day, they decided to build a bridge with their blocks and cars. They wanted to make a bridge that was strong and reliable, so that their cars could cross it without falling.
+
+They worked hard and used many blocks and cars to make the bridge. They were proud of their bridge and wanted to show it to their mom. They called her and said, "Mom, come and see our bridge! It is reliable and can serve many cars!"
+
+Mom came and looked at their bridge. She smiled and said, "Wow, what a wonderful bridge! You are very clever and creative. Your bridge is reliable and can serve many cars. I am proud of you!"
+
+Lily and Tom were happy and thanked their mom. They asked her if she wanted to play with them and their bridge. Mom said, "Yes, I would love to play with you and your bridge. But first, let me serve you some snacks. You must be hungry after working so hard."
+
+Mom went to the kitchen and brought some cookies and milk. She served them to Lily and Tom and joined them in their play. They had a lot of fun with their bridge and their cars. They were glad that they had a reliable bridge and a loving mom.
+Tom likes to play with his glass. He fills it with water and puts some soap in it. Then he shakes it hard and makes bubbles. He laughs when he sees the bubbles go up and down. He thinks it is fun.
+
+But one day, he shakes his glass too hard. The glass breaks and the water spills everywhere. Tom is scared and sad. He cries and calls for his mom. He does not like the broken glass. He thinks it is bad.
+
+Mom comes and sees the mess. She is not happy. She tells Tom to be careful with his glass. She says it is not a toy. She says it is silly to shake it. She helps Tom clean up the water and the glass. She gives him a hug and a band-aid for his cut. She tells him to play with something else.
+
+Tom says he is sorry. He does not want to play with his glass anymore. He wants to play with his blocks. He thinks they are safer and more fun. He does not shake them. He builds them. He is happy. He thinks he is smart.
+Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was empty and had a hole on one side.
+
+"Let's play marriage!" Sara said. "We can use the box as a house and pretend we are married."
+
+"OK!" Ben said. "But who will be the husband and who will be the wife?"
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She was clever and had an idea. "We can take turns!" she said. "First, I will be the wife and you will be the husband. Then, we will switch."
+
+Ben liked the idea. He was clever too. "OK!" he said. "But how will we fit in the box?"
+
+Sara looked at the box. It was big, but not big enough for both of them. She had another idea. "We can cut another hole on the other side!" she said. "Then, we can crawl in and out from both sides."
+
+Ben agreed. He found some scissors and helped Sara cut the hole. Then, they crawled into the box and played marriage. They had a lot of fun. They pretended to cook and eat and read and sleep. They also said nice things to each other, like "You are very pretty" and "You are very strong".
+
+They played marriage until it was time for dinner. Then, they crawled out of the box and hugged each other. "You are a good wife," Ben said. "You are a good husband," Sara said. "And you are my best friend," they both said. Then, they ran to the kitchen to eat. They were happy.

+
+Lily and Ben did not want to eat healthy food. They wanted to eat yummy food. They said no to Mom and Dad. They kicked their legs under the table. They made loud noises. They did not listen.
+
+Mom and Dad were not happy. They said Lily and Ben had to eat healthy food too. They said it was good for them. They said they could have a small treat after. Lily and Ben did not like that. They kicked harder. They made louder noises. They did not listen.

+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play outside in winter. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow forts. They have fun in the cold.
+
+One day, they see a big hill near their house. It is covered with snow and ice. Ben says, "Let's go down the hill on our sleds. It will be fast and fun." Mia says, "No, it is too steep and scary. We might get hurt." Ben says, "Don't be a baby. I dare you to go with me. It will be a great adventure."
+
+Mia does not want to go, but she does not want to look like a baby. She says, "Fine, I will go with you. But you have to go first." Ben says, "OK, I will show you how to do it." He takes his sled and runs to the top of the hill. He sits on his sled and pushes off. He goes down the hill very fast. He screams with joy and fear. He feels the wind and the snow on his face. He is lively and brave.
+
+Mia watches him from the bottom of the hill. She sees him go faster and faster. She sees him hit a bump and fly in the air. She sees him land on his sled and slide to the end of the hill. She sees him get up and wave at her. He says, "That was awesome! Come on, Mia, it's your turn."
+
+Mia feels scared. She does not want to go down the hill. She thinks it is too dangerous. She thinks Ben is crazy. She says, "No, I don't want to go. You can go again if you want. I will stay here and make a snowman." Ben says, "Don't be a chicken. You said you would go with me. You can't back out now. I dared you to go. You have to do it."
+
+Mia does not know what to do. She does not want to break her promise. She does not want to make Ben angry. She does not want to be a chicken. But she does not want to go down the hill. She is afraid. She wishes winter was over. She wishes they could play something else. She wishes Ben would not dare her to do things she does not like. She cries.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and smell them. Lily saw a big red flower that was not open yet. She wanted to see it bloom.
+
+"Can I pick it?" she asked Ben.
+
+"No, you can't," Ben said. "Mama said we have to leave the flowers alone. They are in order. If you pick one, you will make a mess."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She reached for the flower and pulled it hard. The flower came off the stem, but it did not bloom. It was still closed and sad.
+
+Lily felt sorry. She had broken the flower and made Ben angry. She started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben," she said. "I just wanted to see it bloom. It was so pretty."
+
+Ben looked at Lily and saw that she was sad too. He did not want to be mean to her. He was her brother and he loved her.
+
+"It's okay, Lily," he said. "Maybe we can find another flower that is already open. Come on, let's go look."
+
+He took her hand and they walked to another part of the garden. They saw a yellow flower that was big and bright. It had bloomed and it was happy.
+
+"Look, Lily," Ben said. "This one is for you. You can smell it and touch it gently. But don't pick it, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded. She smiled and thanked Ben. She smelled the flower and felt its soft petals. She was happy too.
+
+They hugged and played some more. They learned to be careful with the flowers and enjoy them in order. They had fun in the garden.
+Lila liked to play with her toy horse. It was brown and soft, like velvet. She gave it a name: Coco. She pretended that Coco was a real horse and she was a princess. She put a ribbon on Coco's neck and a brush in her hand.
+
+One day, she wanted to show Coco to her friend Ben. She asked her mom if she could go outside. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful. There were cars and dogs and other things that could hurt her and Coco. Lila said she would be careful. She took Coco by the ribbon and led him outside.
+
+She saw Ben in his yard. He was playing with his toy truck. It was red and shiny, like fire. He gave it a name: Blaze. He pretended that Blaze was a real truck and he was a firefighter. He put a siren on Blaze's roof and a hose in his hand.
+
+Lila called to Ben. "Hi, Ben! Do you want to see my horse? His name is Coco. He is very soft and nice."
+
+Ben looked at Lila and Coco. He smiled. "Hi, Lila! Your horse is pretty. Can I touch him?"
+
+Lila nodded. "Yes, you can. He is harmless. He likes to be petted and brushed."
+
+Ben came closer to Lila and Coco. He reached out his hand and touched Coco's velvet fur. He felt how soft and warm it was. He said, "Wow, Coco is very soft and nice. Can I brush him?"
+
+Lila handed him the brush. "Yes, you can. He likes that too. Do you want to see my ribbon? It is pink and sparkly, like a star."
+
+Ben looked at the ribbon. He liked it. He said, "Your ribbon is very pretty. Can I put it on Blaze? He likes to be decorated too."
+
+Lila agreed. "Yes, you can. Blaze is very shiny and nice. Can I touch him?"
+
+Ben handed her the hose. "Yes, you can. He is harmless. He likes to be sprayed and washed."
+
+Lila came closer to Ben and Blaze. She touched Blaze's shiny metal. She felt how smooth and cool it was. She said, "Wow, Blaze is very shiny and nice. Can I spray him?"
+
+Ben nodded. "Yes, you can. He likes that too. Do you want to hear his siren? It is loud and funny, like a bird."
+
+Lila wanted to hear it. She said, "Yes, I do. Let's hear his siren."
+
+Ben pressed a button on Blaze's roof. The siren made a loud and funny noise. It went, "Woo-woo-woo!"
+
+Lila and Ben laughed. They liked the noise. They said, "Woo-woo-woo!"
+
+They played with Coco and Blaze for a long time. They shared their toys and their stories. They had fun. They were friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies and had a secret mission. They had a toy missile that they hid under a slide. They said it was a bomb that could stop the bad guys.
+
+But then a big boy came and saw their missile. He grabbed it and laughed. He said it was his now and he would throw it away. Lily and Tom were angry and scared. They hated the big boy. He was mean and thick.
+
+"Give it back!" Lily shouted. "That's ours!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" the big boy said. "It's a stupid toy. Watch this!" He threw the missile as hard as he could. It flew in the air and landed on a tree. It got stuck on a branch.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the tree. They tried to reach the missile, but it was too high. They cried and cried. They loved their missile. It was their best toy.
+
+"Help us!" Tom said. "Someone help us!"
+
+A man who was walking his dog heard them. He saw the missile on the tree. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, kids. I'll get it for you." He lifted Tom on his shoulders and helped him grab the missile. He gave it back to Lily and Tom. They hugged the missile and thanked the man. They were happy and relieved.
+
+The big boy saw what happened. He felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. I was wrong. Can I play with you?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at him. They thought for a moment. Then they said, "OK, but you have to be nice and share. And don't throw our missile again."
+
+The big boy nodded and smiled. He said, "OK, I promise. Can I be a spy too?"
+
+Lily and Tom said, "Yes, you can. But you have to follow our rules."
+
+They all played together and had fun. They forgot about their hate and became friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to make things with paper. Lily made a hat and Ben made a boat. They put their things on the grass and ran to the hedge.
+
+"Look, there are birds in the hedge!" Lily said. "They are making a nest."
+
+Ben nodded. He saw the birds flying in and out with sticks and leaves. He wanted to see the nest better. He climbed on the hedge and reached out his hand.
+
+"Ben, no!" Lily shouted. "You will scare the birds. They will fly away."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He touched the nest and felt something soft and warm. He pulled out an egg.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" he said. "It is blue and speckled. I want to keep it."
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She ran to Ben and tried to take the egg from him.
+
+"Give it back, Ben!" she said. "That is not yours. That is the bird's baby. You are mean and selfish."
+
+Ben held the egg tight. He did not want to give it back. He liked the egg. He thought it was pretty and special.
+
+They pulled and pushed and shouted. The egg slipped from their hands and fell on the ground. It cracked and broke. Something wet and pink came out.
+
+They both gasped and stopped. They looked at the egg and felt sorry. They heard the birds crying in the hedge. They knew they had done something bad.
+
+They ran to their paper things and folded them into a basket. They put the egg and the baby bird in the basket. They were careful and gentle. They brought the basket to the hedge and put it near the nest.
+
+They hoped the birds would find their baby and take care of it. They hoped the baby would be okay. They said sorry to the birds and to each other.
+
+They were thoughtful and quiet. They learned a lesson. They did not touch the hedge again.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to make things with sticks and stones and leaves. They found a big stick that looked like a sword. Tom wanted to make it more like a sword, so he looked for something to attach to it.
+
+He saw some green spikes on a plant. They were sharp and pointy. He thought they would make a good sword blade. He broke off some spikes and tried to attach them to the stick. But they were too hard and he hurt his fingers.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "These spikes are bad. They make me bleed."
+
+Lily heard him and ran to him. She saw his fingers were red and sore. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"Let me see, Tom," she said. "You need a band-aid. Come with me. We will go to Mommy. She will make it better."
+
+She took his hand and led him to the house. She left the stick and the spikes in the garden. She did not like them. She thought they were dangerous and ugly. She liked flowers and butterflies and soft things. She hoped Tom would like them too.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily brings a camera to Ben's house. She wants to take pictures of their fun.
+
+"Look, Ben, this is my camera. My mom gave it to me. It can make photos of anything," Lily says.
+
+"Wow, that is cool. Can I see?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, you can see. But be careful. It is not a toy. It is a real camera," Lily says.
+
+Lily shows Ben how to use the camera. She tells him to press the button and look at the screen. They take turns to take pictures of each other, their toys, and Ben's dog.
+
+"Let's see the photos we made," Lily says.
+
+They look at the screen and laugh. They see their faces, their toys, and Ben's dog. They also see some funny things, like Ben's sock on the lamp and Lily's hair in the air.
+
+"These are great photos. Can we keep them?" Ben asks.
+
+"Of course we can keep them. But we have to be organized. We have to put them in a folder and name them. Then we can show them to our moms and dads," Lily says.
+
+They go to Ben's computer and plug in the camera. They make a folder and name it "Lily and Ben's fun photos". They drag the photos to the folder and name them too. They name them things like "Lily and Ben smiling", "Lily and Ben with toys", and "Lily and Ben with dog".
+
+They are very happy and proud of their photos. They can't wait to show them to their parents. They hug and thank each other for the fun day. They are good friends.
+Tom and Jen were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a shiny rock on the ground. They picked it up and looked at it.
+
+"Wow, this is a pretty rock!" Jen said. "It has many colors and sparkles."
+
+"Maybe it is a mineral," Tom said. "I heard that some minerals are very valuable. We could be wealthy if we sell it."
+
+Jen nodded. They decided to take the rock home and show it to their parents. But on the way, they met a man who was sitting on a bench. He looked sad and dirty.
+
+"Hello, children," the man said. "What do you have there?"
+
+Tom and Jen showed him the rock. The man's eyes widened.
+
+"That is a beautiful mineral," he said. "Where did you find it?"
+
+"In the park," Tom said. "We want to sell it and be wealthy."
+
+The man smiled sadly. "I used to be wealthy, too," he said. "But I lost everything because I was greedy and selfish. I did not share with others or help those in need. Now I have no friends, no family, no home. Wealth is not everything, children. Happiness is more important."
+
+Tom and Jen felt sorry for the man. They looked at each other and had an idea.
+
+"Sir, would you like to have this mineral?" Jen asked. "Maybe it will make you happy."
+
+The man was surprised and touched. He thanked the children and took the mineral. He said he would use it to buy some food and clothes, and maybe find a job.
+
+Tom and Jen felt happy, too. They realized that giving was better than keeping. They hugged each other and ran back to the park. They did not need the mineral to be wealthy. They had each other and their parents, and that was enough.

+
+Sam feels ashamed. He knows he did a bad thing. He does not want to say sorry. He thinks Ben will laugh at him. He says to Ben, "It was an accident. It was not my fault. The car was too fast. You are a baby. You cry for a flower pot."
+
+Ben is hurt. He does not like what Sam says. He says to Sam, "You are a meanie. You do not care. You are not my friend. Go away."

+"No, thank you," Lily said. "We do not like this game. It hurts and makes people sad."
+

+Their friends were curious and followed them to their igloo. They were amazed by how nice it was. They asked Lily and Sam if they could go inside and play with them.
+
+"Of course, you can," Lily and Sam said. "But you have to promise not to throw snowballs at each other anymore. That is not a good way to play."
+
+Their friends agreed and apologized for being bad and mean. They went inside the igloo and played with Lily and Sam. They shared stories and jokes and snacks. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the snowballs.

+
+Tom picks up a shoe and puts it on his head. He steps on the scale again and looks at the number. It says 16.

+
+"Let's use this spring to jump up," Ben said. He pointed to a long and thin metal thing that was on the ground. "It will make us fly like birds."
+
+Sara was not sure. She thought the spring looked old and rusty. "Maybe it is not safe," she said. "Maybe it will break or hurt us."
+
+Ben did not listen. He was too hungry and curious. He put the spring under his feet and pushed hard. He flew up in the air, but not to the fruits. He flew to the branch and hit his head. He fell down and cried.

+Lily was happy. She thanked Mom and took the jolly doll. She smiled at Tim and said, "Don't cry, Tim. You can play with my jolly doll too. She likes balls."
+
+Tim stopped crying. He looked at the jolly doll. He thought she was nice. He said to Lily, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I will share my ball with you too."
+
+Mom was proud of Tim and Lily. She said, "You are both very kind and sweet. I love you very much. Now let's go home and have some fun."
+Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. Sam wanted to go first, but Lily said, "No, I want to go first!" They both ran to the slide, but Sam was faster. He climbed up the ladder and slid down with a whoosh.
+
+Lily was envious. She wanted to slide too, but she had to wait for her turn. She crossed her arms and pouted. She saw Sam smiling and laughing at the bottom of the slide. She said, "That's not fair! You always go first!"
+
+Sam heard her and said, "Don't be mad, Lily. You can go next. The slide is very fun. You will like it too."
+
+Lily nodded and climbed up the ladder. She was about to slide down when she felt something on her leg. It was a bug. It bit her and made her itch. She screamed and scratched her leg. She forgot about the slide and rushed down the ladder. She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, mom, a bug bit me! It hurts and itches!"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Oh, poor Lily. Let me see. It's just a small bite. It will be okay soon. Here, have some ice cream. It will make you feel better."
+
+Lily smiled and took the ice cream. She felt better. She looked at Sam, who was still sliding. He saw her and waved. He said, "Lily, do you want to slide again? It's your turn."
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I don't like bugs. I like ice cream. And I like you, Sam."
+
+Sam smiled and said, "I like you too, Lily. You are my best twin." They hugged and shared the ice cream. They were happy.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a ball and a car. She liked to make them talk and do things. One day, she was playing with her doll and the bear on the bed. She made them hug and kiss and say "I love you".
+
+But then, she felt a pain in her ear. It was very bad. She cried and held her ear. She did not want to play anymore. She wanted her mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, help me!" she shouted. "My ear hurts!"
+
+Her mom heard her and came to her room. She saw Lily crying on the bed. She felt sorry for her.
+
+"Oh, Lily, what's wrong?" she asked. She hugged her and kissed her.
+
+"My ear, mom, my ear!" Lily said. "It hurts so much!"
+
+Her mom looked at her ear. It was red and dry. She knew Lily had an ear infection. She had to take her to the doctor.
+
+"I know, Lily, I know. You have a bad ear. You suffer a lot. But don't worry, we will go to the doctor and he will make it better. He will give you some medicine and some drops. Then your ear will be fine."
+
+"Really, mom? Really?" Lily asked. She was scared of the doctor. He had a big white coat and a stethoscope. He sometimes gave her shots.
+
+"Yes, really, Lily. Really. The doctor is nice. He will help you. He will not hurt you. He will make you happy. Come on, let's go. Take your bear with you. He will keep you company."
+
+Lily nodded. She took her bear and held it tight. She trusted her mom. She hoped her ear would stop hurting soon. She wanted to play with her toys again. She wanted to make them hug and kiss and say "I love you".
+Timmy and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But they did not like to share. Timmy wanted all the blue blocks and Lily wanted all the red blocks. They fought over the blocks and pulled them from each other.
+
+"Give me that block!" Timmy shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily yelled.
+
+They were so angry that they did not see their grandpa coming. Grandpa was very old and very wise. He had a long beard and a kind smile. He saw the children fighting and he shook his head.
+
+"What are you doing, my little ones?" he asked.
+
+"We are playing with blocks, but Timmy is mean!" Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily is mean!" Timmy said.
+
+Grandpa sat down and took some blocks. He made a rainbow with different colors. He showed it to the children.
+
+"Look, this is a rainbow. It is beautiful and bright. Do you know why?" he asked.
+
+The children stopped fighting and looked at the rainbow. They shook their heads.
+
+"Because it has many colors. Each color is different, but they all work together. They make something wonderful. Just like you and me. We are different, but we are family. We love each other and we help each other. We don't fight over silly things. We share and we care. Do you understand?" he said.
+
+The children nodded. They felt sorry for being mean. They hugged grandpa and thanked him for his wisdom. They decided to play with all the blocks and make more rainbows. They were happy and they learned a lesson.
+
+The moral value of the story is: Sharing is caring. We should respect and appreciate our differences and work together. Fighting is not good. We should listen to our elders and learn from their wisdom.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to swim in the pool. They had blue and pink swimsuits and goggles. They also had a big yellow duck that they could ride on.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy at the pool. He had a green sock on his foot. He looked sad and scared. Tom and Lily wanted to be his friend.
+
+"Hi, what is your name?" Tom asked.
+
+"Ben," the boy said.
+
+"Why do you have a sock on your foot?" Lily asked.
+
+"I hurt my toe and the doctor said I have to keep it dry. I can't swim with the sock," Ben said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry for Ben. They wanted to help him have fun.
+
+"You can play with us. We have a duck. You can sit on it and we can push you around the pool," Tom said.
+
+"Really? That sounds fun. But are you sure it's okay?" Ben asked.
+
+"Of course. We like to share. Come on, be brave. The water is warm and nice," Lily said.
+
+Ben smiled and nodded. He took off his sock and put it on a chair. He followed Tom and Lily to the pool. They helped him get on the duck and gave him a pair of goggles. They swam around the pool, splashing and laughing. Ben felt happy and forgot about his toe.
+
+Tom and Lily were glad they made a new friend. They thought Ben was brave and kind. They gave him a high-five and a hug. They decided to play with him every day.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toy trains. They had a big box of tracks that they could put together in different ways. Sometimes they made loops, sometimes they made bridges, sometimes they made tunnels.
+
+One day, they found a new track in the store. It was shiny and modern, with lights and sounds. Ben wanted to buy it, but Sam said it was too expensive. Ben said he had saved his money and he could buy it if he wanted. Sam said he was being selfish and greedy.
+
+They argued all the way home, and Ben put the new track in his room. He locked the door and played with it by himself. He made the train go fast and loud, and he laughed and cheered. He did not share with Sam, or with anyone else.
+
+But soon, Ben got bored of the new track. It was always the same, and it did not fit with his old tracks. He missed making different shapes and stories with Sam. He realized he had been mean and foolish. He unlocked the door and went to find Sam.
+
+He saw Sam playing with the old tracks in the living room. He had made a long and winding track that went around the couch, the table, and the chair. He had used books, pillows, and boxes to make hills and houses. He had put some of his stuffed animals on the train, and he was making funny voices for them.
+
+Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He said to Sam, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was wrong. I don't want the new track anymore. Can I play with you and the old tracks?"
+
+Sam looked at Ben and smiled. He said, "Sure, Ben. I'm glad you came. The old tracks are more fun. And they are even better when we play together."
+
+They hugged and made up. They put the new track back in the box and returned it to the store. They used the money to buy some ice cream and some stickers. They learned that sharing and being kind are more important than having the newest and the best things. And they lived happily ever after.
+Ben was a bad boy. He did not listen to Mom. He threw his toys and hit his sister. Mom was angry. She said, "Ben, you are naughty. You need to say sorry and share your toys. If you do not, I will punish you. You will go to your room and stay there."
+
+Ben did not say sorry. He did not share his toys. He said, "No, Mom. I do not want to. I want to play with all the toys. They are mine." He threw another toy at his sister. She cried.
+
+Mom was very angry. She said, "That is enough, Ben. You are not nice. You are mean. You will go to your room now. You will not come out until I say so." She took Ben by the hand and led him to his room. His room was large, but he did not like it. He wanted to play outside.
+
+Ben was sad. He did not have any toys in his room. He only had his bed and his books. He did not want to read. He wanted to play. He said, "Mom, I am sorry. I want to come out. I want to be good. Please, Mom."
+
+Mom heard Ben. She said, "Ben, you need to learn your lesson. You need to be kind and respectful. You need to wait until I come and get you. Then we can talk and hug. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I will wait. I will be good. I love you, Mom."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Ben. But you need to stay in your room for a while. I will come and get you soon." She closed the door and left Ben alone. Ben lay on his bed and thought about what he did. He felt sorry. He hoped Mom would come and get him soon. He wanted to say sorry to his sister too. He wanted to play with her and share his toys. He wanted to be a good boy.
+Tom and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make pretend houses and cars with the blocks and the dolls. Tom had a big wire that he found in the garage. He thought it was fun to bend it and twist it into different shapes.
+
+"Look, Mia, I made a snake with the wire!" Tom said, holding up his creation. "It can hiss and bite!"
+
+Mia looked at the wire snake and felt scared. She did not like snakes. They were mean and scary. She screamed and ran away from Tom.
+
+"Tom, stop it! That is not a nice toy! That is a bad snake!" Mia cried, hiding behind the couch.
+
+Tom did not understand why Mia was so afraid. He thought the wire snake was cool and funny. He wanted to show Mia that it was not real and that it was just a toy. He followed Mia and tried to put the wire snake near her face.
+
+"Mia, look, it is just a wire! It is not a real snake! It is not mean or scary! It is just a toy!" Tom said, laughing.
+
+But Mia did not listen to Tom. She saw the wire snake coming closer and closer to her face and she screamed louder and louder. She was very pale and her eyes were big and wet. She pushed the wire snake away and ran to the other side of the room.
+
+Tom felt bad. He did not mean to scare Mia. He just wanted to play with her. He realized that he had made a mistake. He had embarrassed Mia and himself. He dropped the wire snake and ran after Mia.
+
+"Mia, I am sorry! I am sorry! I did not know you were so scared of snakes! I was just joking! Please, do not be mad at me! Please, be my friend again!" Tom said, hugging Mia.
+
+Mia was still shaking and crying. But she saw that Tom was sorry and that he did not want to hurt her. She hugged him back and forgave him.
+
+"Tom, it is okay. I am sorry too. I know you were just joking. But I do not like snakes. They make me scared. Please, do not play with the wire snake again. Please, play with something else. Something nice and fun. Like the blocks and the dolls. Please, be my friend again!" Mia said, smiling.
+
+Tom and Mia smiled and hugged. They were friends again. They put the wire snake away and played with the blocks and the dolls. They made pretend houses and cars and had a lot of fun. They did not play with the wire snake again. They learned to be careful with their toys and their feelings. They learned to respect each other and to say sorry when they made a mistake. They were happy and they loved each other.
+Lily likes to bounce. She has a big ball that is red and yellow. She takes her ball to the park today. She sees her friend Ben there. Ben has a blue bike.
+
+Lily and Ben say hello. They play together. Lily bounces her ball and Ben rides his bike. They have fun. They share their toys. They laugh and smile.
+
+The sun is bright and warm. The sky is blue and clear. The grass is green and soft. The birds sing and fly. Lily and Ben think today is a good day. They are happy. They hug and say bye-bye. They go home with their moms. They bounce and ride some more. They love to bounce.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the field near their house. They run and jump and pick flowers. They see a big box with a hole in it. It says "mail" on it. They wonder what is inside.
+
+They go to the box and look in the hole. They see letters and cards and pictures. They want to see more. They open the box and take out some mail. They think it is fun to look at the mail. They do not know that the mail is for other people.
+
+A man comes to the field. He is angry. He works for the mail. He sees Anna and Ben with the mail. He shouts at them. He says they are bad. He says they have to give back the mail. He says he will tell their mom and dad.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the mail and run away. They cry. They do not want to get in trouble. They do not want to play in the field anymore. They wish they never saw the mail box. They think they are in big trouble. They are very sad.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a patch of dirt where they plant seeds. They water the seeds every day and wait for them to grow.
+
+One day, they see a green sprout in the patch. They are very happy. They run to tell their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, look! Our seeds are growing!" they shout.
+
+Mom comes to the garden and smiles. She sees the green sprout and some more seeds in the patch.
+
+"That's great, Lily and Tom! You are good gardeners. What did you plant?" she asks.
+
+Lily and Tom look at each other. They don't remember what seeds they planted. They found them in a bag in the shed.
+
+"We don't know, mom. They are a surprise!" they say.
+
+Mom laughs. She hugs them and says, "Well, I can't wait to see what they will be. Maybe they will be flowers, or fruits, or vegetables. Let's keep watering them and watch them grow."
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They are excited. They wonder what their patch will look like when the seeds grow more. They hope it will be great. They love their garden and their mom.
+Sara and Ben like to jog in the park. They jog fast and slow, up and down, and around the trees. They have fun and feel good.
+
+One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They are curious and want to look inside. They jog to the hole and peek over the edge.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Sara asks. "It looks like a tunnel. Maybe it goes underground."
+
+"Let's go in and see," Ben says. "Maybe we can find something cool."
+
+They climb down the hole and enter the tunnel. It is dark and cold and wet. They jog along the tunnel, holding hands.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It sounds like a train. They see a light coming towards them. It is a train!
+
+"Help! A train!" Sara screams. "We have to get out!"
+
+They turn around and jog back to the hole. But the train is faster. It is very close to them. They are scared.
+
+They reach the hole and try to climb up. But the hole is too high. They cannot reach the top.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing here?" a voice shouts. "This is a subway tunnel. You are not allowed here. You are very rude!"
+
+They look up and see a man in a uniform. He is holding a flashlight. He is angry.
+
+"Please, help us!" Ben cries. "There is a train coming. We are sorry. We did not know."
+
+The man sees the train and the light. He is shocked. He quickly grabs Sara and Ben and pulls them up. He saves them.
+
+The train zooms past the hole. It makes a loud noise. Sara and Ben are safe. They are relieved.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" they say to the man. "You are very brave. You saved us."
+
+The man is still angry. But he is also glad. He sighs.
+
+"You are very lucky," he says. "You could have been hurt or killed. You should never go into the subway tunnel. It is dangerous and forbidden. You should only jog in the park. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They understand. They are sorry. They will never do it again.
+
+They hug the man and say sorry again. Then they jog back to the park. They are more careful and respectful. They learn their lesson.
+Lily liked to cut paper with her scissors. She cut many shapes and colors. She cut circles, squares, triangles, and stars. She cut red, blue, yellow, and green. She cut paper for a long time.
+
+She wanted to show her paper to her mom. She put all her paper in a big pile. She ran to the kitchen. She saw her mom making a cake. The cake was brown and smelled good. Lily said, "Mom, look at my paper!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Wow, Lily, you cut so many paper! They are very pretty. What are they for?" Lily said, "They are for a special event. They are for your birthday!" Mom hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very sweet. You made my birthday very happy." Lily said, "You are welcome, Mom. I love you. Can I have some cake?" Mom said, "Of course, Lily. You can have some cake. But first, let's clean up the paper. We don't want to make a mess." Lily said, "OK, Mom. Let's clean up. Then we can eat cake." They cleaned up the paper and put it in a bag. Then they ate cake and sang happy birthday. Lily was very happy. She liked to cut paper and make her mom happy.
+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 an ugly dish on the table. It was brown and cracked and had a funny smell.
+
+"Yuck! What is that?" Lily asked, pointing at the dish.
+
+"That is Mommy's dish. She made it at school. She said it is art," Ben said.
+
+"Art? It does not look like art. It looks like dirt. I don't like it. Can we throw it away?" Lily said.
+
+"No, we can't. Mommy will be sad. She worked hard on it. She said it is special to her," Ben said.
+
+Lily frowned. She did not want to make Mommy sad, but she also did not want to see the ugly dish. She had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can hide it. Then Mommy won't see it and we won't see it. How about under the sofa?" Lily said.
+
+Ben nodded. He agreed with Lily. He did not like the ugly dish either. He helped Lily lift the dish and carry it to the sofa. They pushed it under the sofa and covered it with a blanket.
+
+"There. Now it is gone. Let's play some more," Lily said.
+
+Ben smiled. He was happy that the ugly dish was gone. He picked up his toy car and made a vroom sound. Lily picked up her doll and hugged it.
+
+They played some more until Mommy came home. Mommy looked tired. She put her bag down and sat on the sofa. She smiled at Lily and Ben.
+
+"Hello, my sweeties. How was your day?" Mommy asked.
+
+"It was good. We played a lot. We had fun," Lily and Ben said.
+
+"That's good. I'm glad you had fun. I had a long day at school. I need to relax. Do you want to cuddle with me on the sofa?" Mommy asked.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They loved cuddling with Mommy. They climbed on the sofa and snuggled with Mommy. Mommy wrapped her arms around them and kissed their heads.
+
+"I love you, my sweeties. You are the best thing in my life," Mommy said.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They loved Mommy too. They felt warm and cozy on the sofa. They did not think about the ugly dish under the sofa. They did not know that Mommy would find it later and wonder who hid it and why. They just relaxed and enjoyed the moment with Mommy.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big cup on the table. It was red and shiny. They wanted to drink from it.
+
+"Let me have it first!" Anna said. She grabbed the cup and ran away.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said. He chased after her. They ran around the house, shouting and fighting.
+
+They did not see Mom coming. She was angry. She had a fearful look on her face.
+
+"What are you doing with my cup?" she asked. "That is not for you. That is for my medicine. It is very bad for you. Give it to me now!"
+
+But Anna and Ben did not listen. They kept running and shouting. They did not see the stairs. They tripped and fell. The cup broke. The medicine spilled. It burned their skin and eyes. They cried and screamed.
+
+Mom ran to help them. She called the doctor. She was very sad and sorry.
+
+Anna and Ben learned a hard lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. They should listen to Mom. They should not shout and fight. They should be kind and share.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the park. They have a big box of crayons and some paper. They sit on a bench and draw what they see.
+
+"Look, Ben, the sky is orange and pink. It is sunset. It is very pretty," Lila says. She marks the paper with orange and pink crayons.
+
+"Yes, it is pretty, Lila. But it is also cold. I can see my breath. Can you see it?" Ben says. He blows out some air and makes a cloud. He marks the paper with blue and white crayons.
+
+"I can see it, Ben. It is like magic. Let's draw some magic on our paper. What do you want to draw?" Lila says. She picks up a purple crayon and smiles.
+
+"I want to draw a dragon. A big, green dragon. He can fly in the sky and breathe fire. He is friendly and strong. Do you like dragons, Lila?" Ben says. He draws a dragon with green and yellow crayons.
+
+"I like dragons, Ben. They are cool. I want to draw a fairy. A small, pink fairy. She can fly with her wings and sprinkle dust. She is kind and happy. Do you like fairies, Ben?" Lila says. She draws a fairy with pink and silver crayons.
+
+"I like fairies, Lila. They are nice. Look, our paper is full of magic. We are good at drawing. Can we show our drawings to mom and dad?" Ben says. He holds up his paper and shows it to Lila.
+
+"Yes, we can, Ben. They will be proud of us. Come on, let's go. It is getting dark. We have to go home. But we can keep our drawings and look at them tomorrow. Maybe we can draw more magic then," Lila says. She holds up her paper and shows it to Ben.
+

+
+Tom and Mia are scared and sad. They say, "No, Ben! These are our blocks! We are playing with them! Go away!"
+
+Ben does not listen. He pushes Tom and Mia and grabs their blocks. He throws them in a big pile. He laughs and says, "Ha ha! I have all the blocks! You have nothing!"
+
+Tom and Mia are angry and cry. They want their blocks back. They try to get them, but Ben is too strong. He shakes them and pushes them away. He says, "Stop it! These are my blocks! You can't have them!"
+
+Tom and Mia are very upset. They look for help. They see the exit. The exit is a door that leads to the hallway. They run to the exit and open the door. They shout, "Help! Help! Ben is mean! He took our blocks!"
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the playroom. She sees Ben and the blocks. She is not happy. She says, "Ben, what are you doing? Why are you being mean to Tom and Mia? Why did you take their blocks?"
+
+Ben is quiet. He knows he did something bad. He says, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to play with the blocks."
+
+Mom says, "That's no excuse. You can't take things that are not yours. You have to share and be nice. Give the blocks back to Tom and Mia. And say you're sorry."
+
+Ben does what Mom says. He gives the blocks back to Tom and Mia. He says, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Can we be friends?"
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They say, "Thank you, Ben. We forgive you. We can be friends. Do you want to play with us?"

+Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings and the slide. But today it was raining, so they had to wear boots and coats.
+
+Mom said they could not go on the grass, because it was wet and muddy. She said they could go on the bench and watch the ducks in the pond. Lily and Sam liked the ducks. They made funny noises and swam in the water.
+
+Lily and Sam walked to the bench with Mom. They saw some bread on the ground. Mom said someone left it for the ducks. Lily and Sam wanted to feed the ducks too. They asked Mom if they could have some bread.
+
+Mom said yes, but they had to be careful. She said they had to kneel on the bench and throw the bread gently. She said they had to watch out for the big geese, because they could bite.
+
+Lily and Sam knelt on the bench and broke the bread into pieces. They threw the bread to the ducks and the geese. The ducks and the geese came closer and ate the bread. They quacked and honked. Lily and Sam laughed and clapped.
+
+Mom smiled and took a picture of them. She said they were very good at feeding the ducks. She said they had to go home soon, because it was getting cold and dark. Lily and Sam said okay, but they wanted to feed the ducks a little more. They said they liked the park, even when it was wet.
+Tim and Jen were twins. They liked to play together. They had a big birthday soon. They wanted to celebrate with their friends.
+
+Mom and Dad said they could have a party. They helped them make a cake and balloons. They put a sign on the door that said "Happy Birthday Tim and Jen". They waited for their friends to come.
+
+But no one came. Tim and Jen felt sad. They looked out the window. They saw a lot of snow. It was very thick. It covered the road and the cars. They heard Mom say on the phone that the snow was too bad for anyone to drive.
+
+Tim and Jen cried. They did not want to celebrate alone. They hugged each other. They wished the snow would go away.
+
+Then they heard a knock on the door. They ran to open it. They saw their friends. They had walked in the snow. They had big smiles and gifts. They said "Surprise! Happy Birthday Tim and Jen!"

+Lily was very happy. She got an invitation to Ben's birthday party. She liked Ben. He was her friend from school. She wanted to give him a nice present.
+
+She asked her mom to help her find a present. They went to the toy store. Lily saw a big teddy bear. She thought Ben would love it. She asked her mom to buy it for her.
+
+But her mom said no. She said the teddy bear was too big and too expensive. She said Lily should find something smaller and cheaper. Lily was sad. She did not want to give Ben a small and cheap present. She wanted to give him the best present ever.
+
+She looked around the store. She saw a small book. It had pictures of animals and words. She remembered that Ben liked animals and words. She thought maybe he would like the book. She asked her mom to buy it for her.
+
+Her mom said yes. She said the book was a good present. She said it was fit for Ben. She said he would learn a lot from it. Lily was not sure. She thought the book was boring. She thought Ben would not like it. But she trusted her mom. She bought the book and wrapped it in colorful paper.
+
+The next day, she went to Ben's birthday party. She saw many kids. They all had big and shiny presents. She felt shy. She thought her present was small and dull. She gave it to Ben and said happy birthday.
+
+Ben opened her present. He saw the book. He smiled. He said thank you. He said he loved the book. He said it was his favorite present. He said he wanted to read it with Lily. He asked her to sit with him and look at the pictures and words.
+
+Lily was surprised. She was happy. She sat with Ben and read the book. They had fun. They learned new things. They laughed and talked. They became closer friends.
+
+The other kids saw them. They were curious. They came to see the book. They liked it too. They asked Ben and Lily to share it with them. They all read the book together. They all had fun. They all learned new things. They all laughed and talked. They all became closer friends.
+
+Lily's mom saw them. She was proud. She said Lily gave a great present. She said she was a good friend. She said she was smart and kind. She said she loved her.
+
+Lily hugged her mom. She said she loved her too. She said she was sorry for being sad. She said she was happy now. She said she learned a lesson. She said it was not the size or the price of the present that mattered. She said it was the thought and the love that mattered.
+
+Everyone heard her. They agreed. They applauded. They said Lily was right. They said she was wise and sweet. They said they were lucky to have her as a friend.
+
+The end.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, Sara gets an invitation from Ben. It says, "Come to my house for a party. We will have cake and games. Follow the map to find me."
+
+Sara is happy. She shows the invitation to her mom. Her mom says, "That sounds fun. Do you want to go?" Sara nods. Her mom says, "OK, but you have to be safe. Stay on the path and don't talk to strangers. I will pick you up later."
+
+Sara puts on her coat and hat. She takes the invitation and the map. She says goodbye to her mom and walks to the park. She looks at the map. It has pictures of trees, flowers, and animals. She follows the map to find Ben's house.
+
+On the way, she sees a big dog. It barks at her. Sara is scared. She runs away. She sees a man. He says, "Hello, little girl. Where are you going?" Sara remembers what her mom said. She doesn't talk to him. She runs away.
+
+She sees a house with balloons and a sign. It says, "Ben's party". She smiles. She found it. She knocks on the door. Ben opens it. He says, "Hi, Sara. I'm glad you came. Come in and join the fun." Sara goes in. She sees cake and games. She sees other friends. She is happy. She says, "Thank you for the invitation, Ben. This is a great party." Ben says, "You're welcome, Sara. I'm happy you're here." They hug. They play. They have fun. Sara is safe.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They dig, run, and jump. They get very dirty. Mama says, "Time to bathe, my little ones. Come inside the house."
+
+Sara and Ben follow Mama to the chamber. The chamber is where they sleep and keep their toys. Mama fills the tub with warm water and bubbles. She says, "Who wants to go first?"
+
+Sara says, "Me, me, me!" She jumps into the tub and splashes. Ben says, "No, me, me, me!" He tries to push Sara out of the tub. Sara and Ben fight. Mama says, "Stop, stop, stop! You can both bathe together. There is enough room for two."
+
+Sara and Ben stop fighting. They share the tub and the bubbles. They wash their hair, their face, and their toes. They play with their rubber duck and their boat. They make each other laugh. Mama says, "You are clever, my little ones. You know how to have fun and be nice."
+
+Sara and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you, Mama. We love you." Mama says, "I love you too, my little ones. Now, let's dry off and get ready for bed." Sara and Ben get out of the tub and wrap themselves in fluffy towels. They hug Mama and go to their beds. They are happy and clean. They fall asleep and dream of the garden.
+Tom and Lily were playing outside on the lawn. They liked to run and jump and roll on the green grass. They also liked to look for bugs and flowers and rocks.
+
+One day, they saw something shiny on the lawn. They ran over to see what it was. It was a coin! A big, round, silver coin. They had never seen one before.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "It's so pretty and shiny. I wonder where it came from."
+
+"Maybe it's a magic coin," Lily said. "Maybe it can make wishes come true."
+
+They both held the coin and closed their eyes. They wished for something they wanted.
+
+Tom wished for a new bike. He wanted a bike with big wheels and a bell and a basket. He wanted to ride fast and far.
+
+Lily wished for a new doll. She wanted a doll with long hair and a dress and a hat. She wanted to comb her hair and dress her up.
+
+They opened their eyes and looked around. Nothing happened. The coin was still on the lawn. There was no bike and no doll.
+
+They felt sad and angry. They thought the coin was a lie. They threw the coin on the ground and stomped on it.
+
+Suddenly, a loud voice boomed from the sky.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" the voice said. "That's my coin. I dropped it by mistake. Give it back to me."
+
+Tom and Lily looked up and saw a giant face in the clouds. It was a man with a beard and a hat. He looked angry and scary.
+
+They were very afraid. They realized they had done something bad. They had taken someone else's coin and wished for things they didn't need.
+
+They felt ashamed. They picked up the coin and held it out.
+
+"We're sorry, mister," Tom said. "We didn't know it was your coin. We thought it was a magic coin. We were just playing."
+
+"Please don't be mad at us," Lily said. "We won't do it again. Please take your coin back."
+
+The man in the clouds looked at them and sighed. He saw that they were sorry and scared. He decided to forgive them.
+
+"Okay, okay," he said. "I'll take my coin back. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will be good and share and be happy with what you have. You don't need magic coins to make your dreams come true. You have each other and your imagination and your lawn. That's more than enough."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They promised to be good and share and be happy. They gave the coin back to the man in the clouds. He smiled and thanked them. He took his coin and disappeared.
+
+Tom and Lily hugged each other and went back to playing on the lawn. They forgot about the coin and the wishes. They were happy with what they had.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They zoomed around the carpet and the sofa.
+
+"Look at me, I'm the fastest!" Ben shouted, as he passed Lily's car.
+
+"No, you're not, I'm the fastest!" Lily said, as she tried to catch up with him.
+
+They were having fun, until Ben's car bumped into Lily's car and made it flip over. Lily's car landed on its side and stopped moving.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair, you cheated!" Lily cried, as she picked up her car and looked at it. She saw a scratch on the door and felt a pain in her heart. She loved her car and didn't want it to be hurt.
+
+"I didn't cheat, it was an accident!" Ben said, as he looked at his car. He saw a dent on the bumper and felt a pain in his head. He loved his car and didn't want it to be broken.
+
+They both glared at each other and started to argue. They said mean words and made loud noises. They forgot they were friends and only cared about their cars.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the mess and the angry faces. She sighed and shook her head. She knew they were just playing, but they needed to learn to share and be kind.
+
+"Kids, what's going on here?" she asked, as she sat down on the sofa.
+
+"Lily and Ben told her what happened and showed her their cars. They both wanted her to say they were right and the other was wrong.
+
+Mom looked at the cars and smiled. She saw they were harmless and not really damaged. She saw they were just toys and not worth fighting over.
+
+"Kids, I'm sorry your cars got hurt, but they are not real cars, they are just toys. They are not alive, they don't feel pain, they don't get sad. They are just things you can play with and have fun with. But you know what is real and what does feel pain and what does get sad? You and your friend. You are real and you have feelings and you need love. You should not be mean to each other and hurt each other over toys. You should be nice to each other and help each other and be friends. That's what matters more than toys. Do you understand?" she said, as she hugged them both.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they were wrong and they were silly. They nodded and said they understood.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry I bumped into Lily's car and made it flip over. It was an accident. I didn't mean to cheat or hurt her car. I'm sorry I yelled at her and said mean words. She's my friend and I love her. Can I say sorry to her and give her a hug?" Ben said, as he held out his car.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry I cried and got mad at Ben. It was an accident. He didn't mean to hurt my car. I'm sorry I argued with him and said mean words. He's my friend and I love him. Can I say sorry to him and give him a hug?" Lily said, as she held out her car.
+
+Mom smiled and said yes. She watched as Lily and Ben said sorry to each other and gave each other a hug. They also hugged their cars and said they were sorry to them too. They decided to share their cars and play together nicely. They zoomed around the carpet and the sofa again, but this time they laughed and cheered and said good things.
+
+Mom sighed again, but this time she sighed with relief and happiness. She was glad they learned their lesson and made up. She was proud of them and loved them. She joined them in their game and had fun with them. They all had a good time and forgot about the pain.
+Sara was playing with her doll in the garden. She liked to pretend that her doll was sick and she was a doctor. She had a bandage that she wrapped around the doll's arm. She said, "Don't worry, doll. I will make you better. You just need to be careful and rest."
+
+Tommy was Sara's brother. He was bored and wanted to play with Sara. He saw her bandage and thought it was funny. He ran to Sara and grabbed the bandage. He said, "Ha ha, this is not a real bandage. This is just a piece of cloth. Your doll is not sick. You are silly, Sara."
+
+Sara was angry and sad. She tried to get the bandage back from Tommy. She said, "No, Tommy, stop it. Give me back my bandage. You are mean, Tommy. You are hurting my doll." But Tommy was stronger and faster. He ran away with the bandage and laughed.
+
+Sara cried and followed Tommy. She wanted her bandage and her doll. She did not see the big rock on the ground. She tripped and fell. She scraped her knee and it bled. She cried louder and louder.
+
+Tommy heard Sara's cry and turned around. He saw Sara on the ground with blood on her knee. He felt sorry and scared. He ran to Sara and said, "Oh, Sara, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you fall. Are you okay? Does it hurt?" He gave her back the bandage and said, "Here, take this. You can use it for your knee. It is a real bandage now. You need to be careful and rest."
+
+Sara took the bandage and wrapped it around her knee. She said, "Thank you, Tommy. It still hurts, but it will get better. You are nice, Tommy. You are helping me." She hugged Tommy and said, "I'm sorry, too. I know you just wanted to play. Maybe we can play together next time. But not with my doll. She is still sick."
+Sara and Ben like to go to the harbor with their mom and dad. They see many boats and birds and fish. They also see a cute dog with brown fur and a red collar. The dog is friendly and wags its tail.
+
+"Can we pet the dog, mom?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, but ask the owner first," mom says.
+
+They walk to the man who holds the dog's leash. He smiles and says, "Hello, do you like my dog? His name is Max."
+
+"Yes, he is very cute," Ben says.
+
+"Can we pet him?" Sara asks.
+
+"Of course, he loves children," the man says. He lets go of the leash and Max runs to Sara and Ben. They stroke his fur and scratch his ears. Max licks their faces and makes them giggle.
+
+"Can we get a dog like Max, dad?" Ben asks.
+
+Dad looks at mom and says, "Maybe, but we have to think about it. Dogs need a lot of care and attention. They also need a good home and a yard to play in."
+
+"We can take care of a dog, dad. We can feed him and walk him and play with him," Sara says.
+
+"We'll see, honey. We'll see," dad says.
+
+They thank the man and say goodbye to Max. They walk along the harbor and see more boats and birds and fish. They have a fun day at the harbor.
+Tom and Lily were friends who lived next door to each other. They liked to play in the yard and share their toys. One day, they saw a big truck stop in front of their houses. The truck had a lot of boxes and bags. A man and a woman got out of the truck. They looked happy and tired.
+
+"Hello, we are your new neighbors!" the woman said. "We just moved here from far away. We have a son who is three years old, like you. His name is Ben. Do you want to meet him?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were curious and excited. They followed the woman to the truck. She opened the door and lifted a little boy out of his seat. He had curly hair and blue eyes. He smiled shyly.
+
+"This is Ben," the woman said. "He is a bit shy, but he likes to play. Can you be his friends?"
+
+Tom and Lily smiled back. They wanted to be his friends. They said hello to Ben and introduced themselves. They showed him their toys and invited him to play with them. Ben nodded. He was happy to have new friends.
+
+The man carried some boxes and bags to the new house. He saw a mailbox next to the door. It was empty and plain. He had an idea. He took a marker and wrote "Welcome" on the mailbox. He drew some flowers and stars around it. He hoped it would make his family feel at home.
+
+Tom, Lily, and Ben saw the mailbox. They liked it. They thought it was pretty and kind. They ran to the man and gave him a hug.
+
+"Thank you for the mailbox!" they said. "It is very nice of you!"
+
+The man smiled. He was glad to see the children happy. He hugged them back.
+
+"You're welcome!" he said. "I'm happy to have you as our neighbors. You are very compassionate and friendly. You make us feel welcome too!"
+
+The children and the man smiled. They felt happy and united. They had a new family in their neighborhood. They looked forward to playing and sharing more. They knew they would have a lot of fun.
+Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a big flag that they made with red, blue and yellow cloth. They took turns to hold the flag and run around the grass.
+
+One day, a boy named Max came to the park. He saw the flag and wanted to have it. He ran to Lily and Sam and tried to grab the flag from them. Lily and Sam did not like that. They said, "No, this is our flag. Go away!"
+
+Max did not listen. He pulled the flag hard and made Lily and Sam fall down. He laughed and ran away with the flag. Lily and Sam were sad and angry. They got up and chased after Max.
+
+They saw Max hiding behind a tree. They shouted, "Give us back our flag! You are mean and bad!"
+
+Max peeked from behind the tree. He saw a big dog coming towards him. He was scared of dogs. He dropped the flag and ran away.
+
+Lily and Sam picked up the flag. They were happy to have it back. They hugged each other and said, "We are reliable friends. We always tell the truth and share. We don't like people who lie and take things that are not theirs." They waved the flag and smiled.
+Poppy was a lovely dog. She had soft fur and big ears. She liked to play with her toys and run in the park. But she was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She wanted to find another dog who would be her friend.
+
+One day, she saw a new dog in the park. He was big and brown. He had a shiny collar and a wagging tail. He looked friendly. Poppy ran up to him and said, "Hello, I am Poppy. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The new dog smiled and said, "Hello, I am Max. Yes, I want to play with you. You look lovely. What do you like to play?"
+
+Poppy and Max started to play. They chased each other, they rolled in the grass, they fetched a stick. They had fun. They laughed and barked. They liked each other.
+
+Poppy and Max became friends. They played together every day. They shared their toys and their treats. They cuddled and napped. They were happy. They united. They were not lonely anymore.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play hide and seek. One day, they decided to play in the park with their mom. Mom said, "You can hide anywhere in the park, but stay close to me and don't go near the road. I will count to ten and then look for you."
+
+Tim and Kim ran to find good hiding spots. Tim hid behind a big tree and Kim hid under a slide. Mom counted to ten and then said, "Ready or not, here I come!" She started to look for Tim and Kim.
+
+She found Tim first. He was peeking out from behind the tree. She said, "I see you, Tim! You need to be more careful and not reveal yourself so easily." Tim said, "Sorry, mom. I wanted to see where you were." Mom said, "It's okay, Tim. But next time, try to stay hidden until I find you. That's more fun."
+
+Then she looked for Kim. She could not see her anywhere. She checked behind the bushes, under the benches, and in the sandbox. She started to worry. She called, "Kim, where are you? Come out, please. I can't find you." She heard a small voice from under the slide. It was Kim. She said, "I'm here, mom. I'm sorry. I was scared. There was a big dog that came near me and barked. I didn't know what to do."
+
+Mom ran to the slide and lifted Kim up. She hugged her and said, "Oh, Kim, I'm so glad you're safe. You did the right thing. You stayed calm and quiet and didn't move. That's how you avoid a dog that might be angry or scared. You were very brave." Kim said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." Mom said, "I love you too, Kim. And I'm proud of you."
+
+Mom took Tim and Kim by the hand and said, "Let's go home now. You both did a good job playing hide and seek. But next time, let's play somewhere without dogs." Tim and Kim agreed. They learned that hiding and seeking can be fun, but also dangerous. They learned to be careful, calm, and close to mom.
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play together at school. One day, their teacher said they would learn about history. History was stories about people and things that happened a long time ago.
+
+Lily and Sam were curious. They wanted to know more about history. They listened to the teacher as she told them about kings and queens, castles and dragons, pirates and ships. They looked at pictures and books and maps. They asked many questions.
+
+"History is fun!" Lily said to Sam. "Do you want to join me and play history after school?"
+
+"Yes, I do!" Sam said. "We can pretend to be kings and queens, or pirates and ships, or anything we want!"
+
+They agreed to meet at Lily's house after school. They ran to the bus, holding hands. They were excited to play history.
+
+At Lily's house, they found costumes and toys and books. They dressed up and made up stories. They had a lot of fun. They laughed and sang and danced.
+
+Lily's mom came home and saw them playing. She smiled and said, "You two look like you are having a blast! Do you want some yummy snacks?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Sam said. They were hungry after playing so much. They followed Lily's mom to the kitchen. She gave them cookies and milk and fruit. They thanked her and ate their snacks.
+
+They shared their stories with Lily's mom. She listened and praised them. She said, "You are very creative and smart. You learned a lot about history today. I'm proud of you!"
+
+Lily and Sam smiled. They felt happy and proud. They hugged Lily's mom and said, "Thank you for the yummy snacks and for letting us play history. We love you!"
+
+They finished their snacks and went back to play. They had more stories to tell and more fun to have. They were best friends who loved history.
+Sam was a big truck driver. He liked to deliver things to different places. He had a loud horn on his truck that he used to say hello or to warn other cars. One day, he had to deliver some boxes to a farm. He drove along the road until he saw the farm gate.
+
+He got out of his truck and opened the gate. He saw many animals on the farm: cows, sheep, chickens, and a big bull. The bull had long horns and looked angry. Sam was fearful of the bull. He hoped the bull would not chase him or hurt him. He quickly got back in his truck and drove to the barn where he had to leave the boxes.
+
+He parked his truck near the barn and started to unload the boxes. He heard a loud moo behind him. He turned around and saw the bull running towards him. He was very scared. He ran to his truck and tried to get in. But the bull was faster. The bull hit the truck with his horns and made a big dent. Sam was trapped in his truck. He did not know what to do.
+
+He saw a farmer coming out of the house. The farmer had a big hat and a rope. He saw Sam and the bull. He shouted to Sam, "Don't worry, I'll help you! Stay in your truck and honk your horn!" Sam did what the farmer said. He honked his horn as loud as he could. The bull did not like the noise. He stopped hitting the truck and looked around. The farmer used his rope to catch the bull and tie him to a fence. He walked to Sam and opened the door of his truck.
+
+"Are you okay?" the farmer asked. "Yes, thank you," Sam said. "I'm sorry about your truck. The bull is very strong and sometimes he gets angry. He does not like strangers or loud noises. You should have honked your horn before you entered the farm. That would have warned him and he would have stayed away." Sam nodded. He learned a lesson. He should always honk his horn when he delivers things to a farm. That way, he can avoid angry bulls and be safe. He thanked the farmer again and finished his delivery. He drove away, honking his horn and waving goodbye.
+Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with blocks, draw pictures and share snacks. One day, a new boy came to their class. His name was Sam. He had curly hair and big glasses. He looked different from Tom and Mia.
+
+Tom and Mia were nervous. They did not want to talk to Sam. They thought he was strange. They stayed away from him and whispered to each other. Sam felt sad. He wanted to make friends, but he did not know how.
+
+The teacher saw what was happening. She had an idea. She asked Tom and Mia to help Sam with a project. They had to build a tower with blocks. Tom and Mia did not want to do it, but they had to listen to the teacher.
+
+They went to Sam's table and started to build. At first, they did not say anything. They just put blocks on top of each other. But then, Sam showed them a trick. He made a block spin like a wheel. Tom and Mia were surprised. They thought it was cool. They asked Sam how he did it. Sam smiled and explained. He said he liked to play with blocks and learn new things.
+
+Tom and Mia started to smile too. They realized that Sam was not so different after all. He was just a boy who liked to play and learn. They asked him more questions and listened to his answers. They learned that he liked to draw, read and sing. They found out that they had some things in common. They also taught him some things that they knew. They had fun together.
+
+They finished their tower and showed it to the teacher. The teacher was happy. She praised them for their work and their teamwork. She said that they were good friends. Tom and Mia agreed. They looked at Sam and said, "We are sorry that we were mean to you. We were wrong. You are a nice boy. Do you want to play with us?" Sam nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you for being nice to me. You are good friends." They hugged and laughed.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't judge someone by how they look. Give them a chance and get to know them. You might find out that they are not so different from you. You might make a new friend.
+Lily did not like cauliflower. She thought it was white and boring and smelled bad. She always pushed it away when her mom gave it to her on her plate. One day, her mom said, "Lily, you have to eat your cauliflower. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. And it is not boring. You can pretend it is a cloud or a flower or a snowman."
+
+Lily did not listen. She said, "No, mom. I don't want cauliflower. I want cookies. Cookies are yummy and sweet and fun. They make me happy."
+
+Her mom said, "Lily, you can have one cookie after you finish your cauliflower. But you have to eat your vegetables first. That is the rule."
+
+Lily did not like the rule. She was angry and stubborn. She said, "No, mom. I want cookies now. I don't care about the rule."
+
+Her mom said, "Lily, if you don't eat your cauliflower, you will not get any cookies. And you will go to bed early. And you will miss your favorite show. Is that what you want?"
+
+Lily did not think. She said, "Yes, mom. I don't care about anything. I just want cookies."
+
+Her mom said, "Okay, Lily. You made your choice. But I think you will regret it later."
+
+Lily did not believe her. She said, "No, mom. I will not regret it. I will be happy with my cookies."
+
+Her mom sighed and took away her plate. She gave her one cookie and said, "Good night, Lily. I hope you enjoy your cookie."
+
+Lily ate her cookie. It was yummy and sweet and fun. She smiled and said, "See, mom. I told you. I don't need cauliflower. I have cookies."
+
+But soon, Lily felt sick. Her tummy hurt and she felt thirsty. She wanted some water and some milk. She wanted her mom to hug her and kiss her. She wanted to watch her favorite show and play with her toys. She wanted to say sorry to her mom and eat her cauliflower. She realized she was wrong. She realized she was silly. She realized she was anxious. She realized she regretted her choice.
+
+But it was too late. Her mom was busy and did not hear her. Her show was over and her toys were away. Her cookie was gone and her plate was empty. She had nothing but her bed and her pillow. She cried and cried and cried. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had eaten her cauliflower. She wished she had been a good girl.
+
+The moral of the story is: Listen to your mom and eat your vegetables. They are good for you and they are not boring. They can help you avoid being sick and being anxious. They can help you enjoy your cookies and your show and your toys. They can help you be happy and not regret your choices.
+Sam was a boy who liked to deliver mail. He had a red bike and a big bag. He helped his dad, who was a mailman. Every day, they went to many houses and gave people letters and packages.
+
+One day, it was very hot. Sam and his dad were thirsty and tired. They saw a lemonade stand near a park. A girl was selling cold drinks. "Can we have some lemonade, please?" Sam asked.
+
+"Sure, that will be one dollar each," the girl said. She smiled and poured two cups.
+
+Sam reached for his pocket, but he had no money. He had spent it all on candy. He felt bad. He looked at his dad, who also had no money. He had forgotten his wallet.
+
+"Sorry, we have no money," Sam's dad said. "We'll come back later."
+
+The girl frowned. She was not happy. She wanted to sell her lemonade and make some money. She had worked hard to make it.
+
+Sam and his dad rode away. They were still thirsty and tired. Sam felt sorry for the girl. He wished he had some money to pay her.
+
+He saw a big insect on the road. It was a beetle. It had shiny wings and long legs. Sam liked insects. He stopped his bike and picked up the beetle. He put it in his pocket.
+
+He had an idea. He rode back to the lemonade stand. He saw the girl sitting there. She looked bored and sad.
+
+"Hi, I'm back," Sam said. "I have something for you."
+
+He took out the beetle and showed it to the girl. "Do you like insects?" he asked.
+
+The girl's eyes lit up. She loved insects. She had a book about them at home. She reached for the beetle and held it gently.
+
+"It's beautiful," she said. "Thank you."
+
+"You're welcome," Sam said. "Can I have some lemonade now?"
+
+The girl nodded. She poured two cups and gave them to Sam and his dad. They drank the cold drink and felt better.
+
+"Thank you for the lemonade," Sam's dad said. "And thank you for the beetle. It's very kind of you."
+
+"You're welcome," the girl said. "And thank you for the mail. It's very important."
+
+They smiled and waved goodbye. They rode away, happy and refreshed.
+
+Sam learned a lesson that day. He learned that money is not the only way to pay for things. He learned that kindness and sharing can make people happy. He learned that insects are cool.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then Tom saw a shiny toy car on the shelf. He wanted to play with it, so he climbed on the couch and reached for it.
+
+"Tom, no!" Lily shouted. "That's Dad's car! He said we can't touch it!"
+
+But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the car and pulled it hard. But the car was stuck on something. Tom pulled harder and harder, until the car came off. But it also made a loud snap and a spark flew out of it.
+
+Tom dropped the car and screamed. He had hurt his hand and the car was broken. He started to cry and ran to Lily. Lily was scared too. She saw smoke coming out of the car and smelled something bad.
+
+She hugged Tom and tried to comfort him. "It's okay, Tom. It was an accident. You're not bad. Let me see your hand."
+
+She looked at his hand and saw a small red mark. She kissed it and said, "There, there. It will get better soon. We need to tell Mom and Dad what happened. They will help us fix the car and the shelf. They will be mad, but they will still love us."
+
+Tom nodded and sniffed. He felt a little better. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I should have listened to you. You're a good sister."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I'm sorry too, Tom. I should have been nicer to you. You're a good brother."
+
+They held hands and walked to the kitchen, where Mom and Dad were. They told them what happened and showed them the car and the shelf. Mom and Dad were mad, but they also hugged them and said they were glad they were not hurt. They said they would fix the car and the shelf later, and they would teach them how to be careful with things. They also said they loved them very much.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry, but they also felt happy. They had each other and they had Mom and Dad. They learned a lesson and they said sorry. They knew they would be okay.
+Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They like to run and jump and laugh. They see a big tree with purple fruits. Lily says, "Look, Tom, prunes! I like prunes. They are sweet and juicy. Can we pick some?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, let's pick some. But be careful. The tree is very high. We need a ladder." They find a ladder and put it next to the tree. Tom climbs up first. He reaches for a prune. He pulls hard. The prune falls. Tom falls too.
+
+Lily screams, "Tom, are you okay? You fell fast. You fell hard. Does it hurt?" She runs to Tom. He is lying on the grass. He is not moving. He is not talking. Lily is scared. She cries, "Tom, Tom, please wake up. Please talk to me. I am sorry. It is my fault. I wanted the prunes."
+
+Then, Tom opens his eyes. He smiles. He says, "Lily, don't cry. I am okay. I was just joking. I wanted to make you laugh. Did I scare you?" He sits up. He hugs Lily. He says, "I am sorry too. I was silly. I should have been careful. Prunes are not worth falling for."
+
+Lily stops crying. She smiles too. She says, "Tom, you are naughty. You are funny. But you are also kind. You are my best friend. I am glad you are okay. Let's share the prune. It is still good." They bite the prune. They say, "Mmm, yummy." They laugh. They are happy.
+Tom is a little boy who loves animals. He has a dog named Spot and a cat named Fluffy. He likes to hug them and play with them every day. He is very compassionate and does not want to hurt any living thing.
+
+One day, Tom goes to the supermarket with his mom. He sees a lot of meat in the fridge. He asks his mom, "What is meat, mom?" His mom says, "Meat is food that comes from animals, like cows and pigs and chickens." Tom feels sad and confused. He says, "But animals are our friends, mom. Why do we eat them?"
+
+His mom hugs him and says, "I know, Tom. It is hard to understand. Some people eat meat because they need it to be healthy and strong. Some people do not eat meat because they love animals too much. There is no right or wrong answer, Tom. You can choose what you want to eat when you grow up."
+
+Tom thinks for a while. He says, "I do not want to eat meat, mom. I want to eat fruits and vegetables and bread and cheese. I want to be compassionate like you, mom." His mom smiles and says, "That is fine, Tom. I am proud of you for being compassionate. You are a very good boy." She hugs him again and says, "I love you, Tom." Tom says, "I love you too, mom." He feels happy and warm in his mom's hug. He thinks about Spot and Fluffy and all the animals in the world. He hopes they are happy too.
+Jen and Tom are twins. They like to play outside in the garden. One morning, they see a lot of mist in the air. They think it is magic.
+
+"Let's go and see the mist!" Jen says. She puts on her coat and boots. Tom does the same.
+
+They run outside and feel the mist on their faces. It is cold and wet. They laugh and try to catch the mist with their hands.
+
+"Look, I can make a ball of mist!" Tom says. He wraps his hands around some mist and shows Jen.
+
+"That's not a ball, that's nothing!" Jen says. She is independent and wants to do something else. She sees a big leaf on the ground. She picks it up and wraps it around a stick. "Look, I made a flag!" she says.
+
+"That's not a flag, that's silly!" Tom says. He is independent and wants to do something else. He sees a rock on the ground. He picks it up and wraps it around a string. "Look, I made a necklace!" he says.
+
+They both think their own thing is better than the other's. They start to argue and get angry.
+
+"Your flag is ugly!" Tom says.
+
+"Your necklace is stupid!" Jen says.
+
+They stop playing and turn away from each other. They are sad and lonely.
+
+Then they hear their mom calling them. "Jen, Tom, come inside! It's time for breakfast!"
+
+They look at each other and feel sorry. They don't want to fight anymore. They want to be friends.
+
+"Sorry, Tom. Your necklace is nice." Jen says.
+
+"Sorry, Jen. Your flag is cool." Tom says.
+
+They hug and smile. They run inside and share their breakfast. They are happy and love each other.
+Anna and Ben are friends who like to play in the park. They have many toys, like balls, cars, dolls and books. They always bring their toys to the park and share them with each other.
+
+One day, they see a new gate in the park. It is big and shiny and has a sign that says "Do not enter". Anna and Ben are curious and want to see what is behind the gate. They think it is a secret place with more toys and fun things.
+
+They look around and see no one is watching. They decide to open the gate and go inside. They push the gate and it makes a loud noise. They run inside and see a big mess. There are papers, cans, bottles, boxes and dirt everywhere. There are no toys or fun things, only garbage and bad smells.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared and want to go back. They run to the gate and try to open it. But the gate is locked. They cannot get out. They start to cry and shout for help.
+
+A man hears them and comes to the gate. He is angry and asks them why they are inside. He tells them that this is a dump, where people throw away things they do not need. He says that they should not have entered the gate, because it is dangerous and dirty. He says that they should have listened to the sign and respected the rules.
+
+He unlocks the gate and lets them out. He tells them to go home and tell their parents what they did. He also tells them to take their toys with them and keep them organized and clean. He says that toys are precious and should not be wasted or thrown away.
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry and ashamed. They thank the man and apologize. They take their toys and go home. They tell their parents what happened and promise to never do it again. They learn that they should be careful and obey the signs and the rules. They also learn that they should be organized and take care of their toys. They are happy to have their toys and their friendship.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big suit in their dad's closet. It was black and shiny, with many buttons and pockets. Ben wanted to try it on, but Lily said no.
+
+"That suit is not for playing. It is for work. Dad will be angry if you mess it up," she said.
+
+Ben did not listen. He put on the suit and looked at himself in the mirror. He felt very grown-up and important. He said, "I am a doctor. I can examine anyone who is sick."
+
+Lily rolled her eyes. She said, "You are not a doctor. You are a silly boy. And you are too small for that suit. It is too big for you."
+
+Ben did not care. He said, "I am a doctor and you are my patient. Come here and let me examine you."
+
+Lily did not want to play along. She said, "No, thank you. I am fine. I am not sick. I am sleepy. I want to take a nap."
+
+Ben insisted. He said, "You have to let me examine you. It is for your own good. Maybe you have a fever or a sore throat or a tummy ache."
+
+Lily sighed. She said, "Fine. But be quick. And be gentle. And don't touch anything else in dad's closet."
+
+Ben nodded. He took a stethoscope from a box and put it around his neck. He said, "OK. Let me listen to your heart."
+
+He put the stethoscope on Lily's chest and pretended to hear something. He said, "Hmm. Your heart sounds funny. It is too fast. And too loud. And it makes a weird noise. Like this: thump-thump-thump-bang!"
+
+Lily frowned. She said, "That is not how a heart sounds. You are making it up. And you are hurting me. That stethoscope is cold and hard. Take it off."
+
+Ben did not take it off. He said, "No, I have to examine you more. Maybe you have a problem with your lungs. Let me listen to your breathing."
+
+He moved the stethoscope to Lily's back and pretended to hear something else. He said, "Hmm. Your breathing sounds funny too. It is too slow. And too quiet. And it makes a different noise. Like this: shhh-shhh-shhh-snore!"
+
+Lily gasped. She said, "That is not how breathing sounds. You are making it up again. And you are tickling me. Stop it."
+
+Ben did not stop. He said, "No, I have to examine you even more. Maybe you have a problem with your brain. Let me look at your eyes."
+
+He took a flashlight from another box and shone it on Lily's eyes. He said, "Hmm. Your eyes look funny as well. They are too big. And too bright. And they make a strange noise. Like this: blink-blink-blink-squeak!"
+
+Lily screamed. She said, "That is not how eyes look. You are making it up once more. And you are blinding me. Turn it off."
+
+Ben did not turn it off. He said, "No, I have to examine you one last time. Maybe you have a problem with your ears. Let me whisper something in your ear."
+
+He leaned close to Lily's ear and whispered something very loud. He said, "BOO!"
+
+Lily jumped. She said, "That is not how you whisper. You are scaring me. Stop it."
+
+Ben did not stop. He laughed. He said, "I am not scaring you. I am curing you. You are not sleepy anymore. You are awake and alert and ready to play."
+
+Lily did not laugh. She was angry and annoyed and tired of playing. She said, "I am not awake and alert and ready to play. I am fed up and bored and done with you."
+
+She pushed Ben away and ran out of the closet. She said, "I am going to tell mom and dad what you did. You are in big trouble, mister."
+
+Ben did not run after her. He stayed in the closet and looked at himself in the mirror. He did not feel very grown-up and important anymore. He felt very small and silly. He said, "Uh-oh."
+Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls. Lily had a big doll with long hair and a pink dress. Ben had a small doll with short hair and a blue shirt. They liked to pretend that their dolls were friends and went on adventures together.
+
+One day, they decided to give their dolls a massage. They found some lotion and rubbed it on their dolls' backs and arms. They said nice things to their dolls, like "You are so sweet" and "You are so pretty". They were having fun.
+
+But then, Ben saw that Lily had used too much lotion on her doll. He thought that was not fair. He wanted more lotion for his doll. He said to Lily, "Give me some lotion. You have too much. My doll needs more."
+
+Lily did not want to share. She said to Ben, "No, this is my lotion. You have enough. Go away."
+
+Ben got angry. He tried to grab the lotion from Lily. Lily held it tight. They pulled and pushed. They yelled at each other. Then, Ben slapped Lily on the face. Lily cried out loud.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily's red cheek and Ben's angry face. She saw the lotion and the dolls. She was not happy. She said to Ben, "Why did you slap Lily? That is not nice. That hurts. You have to say sorry."
+
+Ben felt sorry. He knew he was wrong. He said to Lily, "I'm sorry, Lily. I should not have slapped you. I was mean. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Lily was still sad, but she forgave Ben. She said to Ben, "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry, too. I should have shared with you. We can be friends again."
+
+Mom hugged them both. She said to them, "I'm glad you are sorry. But you have to be careful with the lotion. It is not for playing. It is for Mommy's massage. She needs it for her sore back."
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad. They did not know that the lotion was for Mommy. They said to Mom, "We're sorry, Mom. We did not know. Can we help you with your massage?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said to them, "That is very sweet of you. Thank you. You can help me with my massage. But first, you have to clean up the mess. And then, you have to hug each other and say you love each other."
+
+Lily and Ben did what Mom said. They cleaned up the mess. They hugged each other and said they loved each other. Then, they helped Mom with her massage. They rubbed her back and arms gently. They said nice things to her, like "You are so sweet" and "You are so pretty". They made Mom happy. They were happy, too.
+Tim and Jen like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. One day, they see a big red metal thing in the park. It looks like a car, but it has no wheels. It has a door, a window and a button.
+
+"Let's go inside!" Tim says. He opens the door and climbs in. Jen follows him. They sit on the seats and pretend to drive. They make noises like vroom, beep and honk. They have fun.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It sounds like a roar. They look out the window and see a big yellow truck. The truck has a claw. The claw grabs the red metal thing. Tim and Jen are scared.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shout. They try to open the door, but it is stuck. They push the button, but nothing happens. They cry and hug each other.
+
+The truck driver hears them. He stops the truck and gets out. He sees the door and opens it. He sees Tim and Jen and smiles.
+
+"Are you okay?" he asks. He picks them up and puts them on the ground. "You should not play in the junkyard. This is not a car. This is scrap metal. I was going to take it away."
+
+Tim and Jen are sorry. They did not know it was a junkyard. They did not know it was scrap metal. They thought it was a car.
+
+"Thank you for saving us," they say to the truck driver. He nods and gives them a candy. He tells them to go back to the park and be careful.
+
+Tim and Jen run back to the park. They do not play in the junkyard anymore. They do not play with the red metal thing anymore. They play with the slide, the swing and the run. They are happy.
+Sam and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play with their toys on the carpet in their room. One day, their mom said she had a surprise for them. She told them to close their eyes and wait in the room.
+
+Sam and Lily were very excited. They wondered what the surprise could be. Maybe a new toy, or a cake, or a book. They closed their eyes and waited.
+
+They heard their mom come back with something big and heavy. They heard her put it on the carpet. They heard her say, "Okay, you can open your eyes now!"
+
+Sam and Lily opened their eyes and saw a big box on the carpet. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they saw a big, furry, brown bear. The bear looked angry and hungry. It roared and jumped out of the box.
+
+Sam and Lily screamed and ran to the door. But the door was locked. Their mom had locked it from the outside. She was not a good mom. She was a mean mom. She wanted to get rid of Sam and Lily. She had bought the bear from a bad man who sold wild animals.
+
+The bear chased Sam and Lily around the room. It knocked over their toys and their bed. It scratched their walls and their carpet. It caught Sam and bit his arm. Sam cried and bled. Lily tried to help him, but the bear was too strong and fast. It caught Lily and bit her leg. Lily cried and bled too.
+
+Sam and Lily hugged each other and said, "I love you." They were very scared and hurt. They wished they had a good mom who loved them. They wished they had a humble and nice surprise, not a big and bad one. They wished they had never opened the box. But it was too late. The bear ate them. The end.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their friends and share their toys. They are fair and kind.
+
+One day, they see a big shadow on the grass. It looks like a monster with horns and teeth. They are scared and hide behind a tree. They wonder what it is and where it came from.
+
+They peek out and see a boy with a big hat and a stick. He is making the shadow with his hat and stick. He is laughing and saying, "Boo! Boo! I am the monster! I will get you!"
+
+Anna and Ben are angry. They think the boy is mean and not fair. They want him to stop and go away. They come out from behind the tree and kick the stick. The stick flies away and the shadow is gone.
+
+The boy is surprised and sad. He says, "Hey! That was my stick! Why did you kick it? That was not fair!"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "You were not fair either. You scared us and our friends with your shadow. That was not nice. You should say sorry and play with us."
+
+The boy thinks for a moment. He says, "You are right. I was not fair and not nice. I am sorry. Can I play with you?"
+
+Anna and Ben smile and nod. They say, "Yes, you can play with us. But no more shadows, OK?"
+
+The boy agrees and puts his hat on his head. He says, "OK, no more shadows. What do you want to play?"
+
+They decide to play tag and run and chase each other. They have fun and laugh. They are fair and kind.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they would quarrel over their toys and make a lot of noise. One day, they found a big bag in their room. It was full of colorful blocks and puzzles. They both wanted to play with the bag, but they did not want to share.
+
+"Give me the bag!" Tom shouted. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily shouted back. "I saw it first!"
+
+They pulled and tugged at the bag, but neither of them would let go. They were very impatient and angry. They did not notice that their mom was watching them from the door.
+
+Mom was not happy with their behavior. She decided to teach them a lesson. She walked into the room and took the bag away from them.
+
+"Stop quarreling, Tom and Lily!" she said sternly. "You are being very selfish and rude. You should learn to share and be kind to each other. If you cannot play nicely, you cannot play at all. You will not get the bag back until you say sorry and hug each other."
+
+Tom and Lily felt ashamed and sorry. They realized that they had hurt each other's feelings and wasted their time. They looked at each other and said sorry. Then they hugged each other and smiled.
+
+Mom was pleased with their change of heart. She gave them back the bag and praised them for being good. She told them that sharing is caring and that they should always love each other.
+
+Tom and Lily thanked mom and promised to be more respectful and generous. They opened the bag and played happily with the blocks and puzzles. They took turns and helped each other. They had more fun than ever before. They learned that quarreling is bad and sharing is good.
+Lily was tired. She had played all day with her toys and her dog. She wanted to go to bed and have a nice dream. She brushed her teeth and put on her pajamas. She hugged her mom and dad good night and went to her room.
+
+She climbed into her bed and pulled the blanket over her. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. But she heard a noise under her bed. It was a loud and scary noise. It sounded like a monster. Lily was afraid. She opened her eyes and looked under her bed.
+
+She saw a big and hairy monster with sharp teeth and red eyes. It growled at her and tried to grab her foot. Lily screamed and jumped out of her bed. She ran to the door and called for her mom and dad.
+
+Mom and dad came running to her room. They turned on the light and saw the monster under the bed. They were not afraid. They knew what the monster was. It was not a real monster. It was Lily's dog, Rex.
+
+Rex had crawled under the bed and made the noise. He wanted to play with Lily. He did not mean to scare her. He was a good and friendly dog. He wagged his tail and licked Lily's face.
+
+Mom and dad explained to Lily that Rex was not a monster. He was just a silly dog. They told Lily to lie down and relax. They said they would take Rex to his own bed. They said they loved her and kissed her good night.
+
+Lily felt better. She was not afraid anymore. She smiled and hugged Rex. She said she loved him too. She said she was sorry for screaming. She said he could play with her tomorrow. She lied down and closed her eyes. She fell asleep and had a nice dream.
+Lily and Max were going to visit their grandma in the big city. They had to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Lily wanted to bring her parrot, Polly, but Max said no.
+
+"Polly is too loud and weird. She will scare grandma and the people on the bus. You can't pack her, Lily," Max said.
+
+"But Polly is my best friend. She can talk and sing and play. She will miss me if I leave her," Lily said.
+
+Lily and Max argued for a long time. Mom came and saw them. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, kids. I have a surprise for you. You can pack Polly, but you have to put her in a special cage. Look, I bought it for her. It has a window and a perch and a toy. She will be safe and happy in there."
+
+Lily and Max were happy to see the cage. They thanked mom and hugged her. They packed Polly in the cage and put it in the car. They said goodbye to dad and drove to the bus station. Polly was quiet and calm in the cage. She looked at the trees and the cars and the people. She whispered to Lily, "I love you, Lily. Thank you for taking me with you."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I love you too, Polly. You are not weird. You are wonderful."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Yesterday, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide. Anna wanted to go on the slide, but Ben was scared.
+
+Anna said, "Come on, Ben, it is fun. You can lean on me. I will hold your hand." Ben said, "No, Anna, it is too high. I don't want to go." Anna said, "Please, Ben, just try. I will go with you." Ben said, "No, no, no."
+
+Anna was upset. She wanted to play with Ben, but he did not want to play with her. She said, "Fine, Ben, I will go by myself. You can stay here." She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She looked down and saw Ben. He looked sad.
+
+Anna felt sorry for Ben. She did not want to make him sad. She said, "Ben, I am sorry. I did not mean to be mean. Do you want to play something else?" Ben said, "Yes, Anna, I do. I am sorry, too. I did not mean to be scared. Do you want to play on the swings?"
+
+Anna said, "Yes, Ben, I do. I like the swings. They are fun." She slid down the slide and ran to Ben. They hugged and smiled. They went to the swings and pushed each other. They had fun. They were friends again.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for insects under the rocks and in the grass. They had a jar to keep the insects they found.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a ladybug!" Lily said. She picked up the red and black insect and put it in the jar. "It is so pretty and light."
+
+"Wow, Lily, that is a nice insect," Ben said. He looked around for another insect to show Lily. He saw something shiny and green on a leaf. He reached for it, but it flew away. "Oh, no, it was a dragonfly!"
+
+Lily ran to Ben and tried to see the dragonfly. "Where did it go, Ben?" she asked.
+
+"I don't know, Lily, it was too fast," Ben said. He felt sad that he could not show Lily the dragonfly. He liked dragonflies. They had long wings and big eyes.
+
+"Maybe we can find another one, Ben," Lily said. She hugged Ben and smiled. "Or maybe we can show our insects to Mom and Dad. They will like them too."
+
+"Okay, Lily, let's do that," Ben said. He smiled back at Lily. He was happy to have a sister who liked insects too. They took their jar and ran to the house to show their parents their insects.
+Lily was miserable. She had a cold and she had to lay in bed all day. She could not play with her toys or her friends. She could only sniff and cough and watch the clock. She hated being sick.
+
+"Mommy, when will I feel better?" she asked her mother, who came to check on her.
+
+"Soon, my sweetie, soon. You just need some rest and some medicine. And some love," her mother said, kissing her forehead and giving her a hug.
+
+"But I'm bored, Mommy. And I miss my friends. And I want to go outside and see the flowers and the birds," Lily said, pouting.
+
+"I know, honey, I know. But you have to stay in bed until you get well. How about I read you a story? Would you like that?" her mother asked, picking up a book from the nightstand.
+
+"Yes, please, Mommy. I like stories. What story is it?" Lily asked, feeling a little bit better.
+
+"It's a story about a brave princess who goes on an adventure with her dragon friend. Do you want to hear it?" her mother asked, smiling.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily said, nodding eagerly.
+
+"Okay, then. Let's begin. Once upon a time, there was a princess named Ella, who lived in a castle with her father, the king. She loved to explore the forest and the mountains, but she was not allowed to go too far, because there were dangers and enemies in the land. One day, she found a secret cave, where she met a friendly dragon, who became her best friend. His name was Zane, and he had shiny scales and fiery breath. Together, they decided to go on an adventure, to find a magic treasure that could bring peace and happiness to the kingdom. But they had to be careful, because there was a wicked witch, who wanted to steal the treasure and use it for evil. Do you want to know what happened next?" her mother asked, looking at Lily.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily said, forgetting her cold and her boredom. She snuggled closer to her mother and listened to the story, feeling happy and curious. She did not notice the time passing, or the sun setting, or her eyes closing. She only heard her mother's voice, telling her about the princess and the dragon, and their amazing adventure. She fell asleep, dreaming of magic and wonder. She was not miserable anymore. She was happy.
+Tom is a little boy who likes to jump. He jumps on his bed, he jumps on the sofa, he jumps on the grass. He jumps so high that he thinks he can touch the sky. He is very independent and does not like to listen to his mom and dad.
+
+One day, Tom sees a flame in the kitchen. It is bright and warm and makes a crackling sound. Tom is curious and wants to jump over the flame. He thinks it is a game and does not know that the flame is dangerous.
+
+He runs to the kitchen and jumps over the flame. But he is not careful and his foot touches the flame. He feels a sharp pain and cries out loud. The flame burns his foot and makes a red mark. He falls to the floor and starts to cry.
+
+His mom and dad hear his cry and run to the kitchen. They see the flame and the smoke and the crying Tom. They are very scared and angry. They turn off the flame and take Tom to the bathroom. They put cold water on his foot and wrap it with a bandage. They hug him and tell him that he is brave but also foolish.
+
+Tom is sorry and ashamed. He says he is sorry to his mom and dad and promises to never jump over a flame again. He learns that the flame is not a game and that he should listen to his mom and dad. He also learns that jumping is fun but not always safe. He decides to be more careful and less independent.
+Sam and Mia liked to joke with each other. They were good friends who lived near the lake. One day, they decided to go on a kayak adventure. They put on their life jackets and helmets and got into the kayak.
+
+"Are you ready, Mia?" Sam asked.
+
+"Yes, I am, Sam. Let's go!" Mia answered.
+
+They paddled the kayak on the water. They saw fish, ducks, and frogs. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+"Look, Sam, there is a big rock. Let's go around it," Mia said.
+
+"OK, Mia. But be careful, it might be a monster!" Sam joked.
+
+Mia pretended to be scared. She screamed and hid behind Sam.
+
+"Help, help, Sam! Save me from the monster!" Mia joked.
+
+Sam played along. He pretended to be brave and strong. He waved his paddle and shouted.
+
+"Go away, monster! Leave us alone! We are not your lunch!" Sam joked.
+
+The monster was not a monster. It was a friendly turtle. It popped its head out of the water and looked at them. It smiled and winked.
+
+"Hello, kids. I am not a monster. I am a turtle. I live here. Do you want to be my friends?" the turtle said.
+
+Sam and Mia were surprised. They stopped joking and looked at the turtle.
+
+"Hello, turtle. We are sorry. We were just joking. We did not mean to bother you. We are Sam and Mia. We are friends. Do you want to be our friend too?" Sam said.
+
+"Yes, I do. I like to joke too. But I also like to be helpful. Do you need any help with your kayak?" the turtle said.
+
+"Thank you, turtle. You are very kind. But we are OK. We have our life jackets and helmets. We know how to paddle. But maybe you can show us around the lake. We want to see more things," Mia said.
+
+"Sure, I can do that. Follow me. I will show you the best spots. There are more fish, ducks, and frogs. And maybe some other surprises. Come on, let's go!" the turtle said.
+
+Sam and Mia followed the turtle. They learned more about the lake and its animals. They had more fun and laughed more. They made a new friend. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and bury things. They buried stones, leaves, shells and toys. They pretended they were pirates or explorers.
+
+"Look, I found a big chamber!" Ben said. He had dug a deep hole under a bush. He crawled inside and looked around. "It's dark and cool. Come and see!"
+
+Lily followed him. She was curious. She squeezed into the hole and saw a small space. It was like a secret room. She smiled. "This is fun! We can hide here and tell stories!"
+
+They stayed in the chamber for a while. They talked and laughed. They forgot about the time. They did not hear their mother calling them for lunch.
+
+"Where are they?" their mother wondered. She looked around the garden. She saw the holes they had dug. She saw their toys and clothes. She was worried. She called louder. "Lily! Ben! Come here now!"
+
+Lily and Ben heard their mother. They were surprised. They had been in the chamber for a long time. They crawled out of the hole. They were dirty and hungry. They ran to their mother.
+
+"Sorry, Mommy!" they said. "We were playing in the chamber. We buried things. It was fun!"
+
+Their mother was relieved. She hugged them. She was not angry. She was amused. She saw their happy faces. She saw their persistent imagination. She loved them. "You are very creative, my darlings. But now it's time for lunch. Come on, let's go inside and wash up. And maybe later you can show me your chamber."
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with their dogs in the park. Lila has a big dog named Rex. Tom has a small dog named Spot. Rex and Spot are normal dogs. They like to run, bark and sniff.
+
+One day, Lila and Tom find a ball in the park. They want to play with it. Lila says, "Let's throw the ball and see who can catch it." Tom says, "OK, I will throw it first." Tom throws the ball high in the air. Rex and Spot run after it.
+
+But there is a problem. The ball is not a normal ball. It is a flea ball. It has many tiny bugs on it. The bugs jump on Rex and Spot. They make them itch and scratch. Rex and Spot are not happy. They drop the ball and run back to Lila and Tom.
+
+Lila and Tom see the bugs on the ball. They are scared. They say, "Ew, gross! This is not a ball. This is a flea ball. We don't want to play with it." They leave the ball in the park and go home with their dogs. They give them a bath and a hug. They say, "We are sorry, Rex and Spot. We love you. You are normal dogs. You are not flea dogs." Rex and Spot wag their tails. They are happy. They love Lila and Tom. They are normal friends.
+Tom was a dog who liked to taste everything. He tasted shoes, socks, books, and even flowers. He did not listen to his mom, who told him to only taste his food and water. She said tasting other things was bad for his teeth and tummy.
+
+One day, Tom saw a huge cake on the table. It smelled very good. He wanted to taste it. He jumped on a chair and reached for the cake. But he did not see the collar around the cake. The collar was a trap. It was sticky and tight. When Tom touched the cake, the collar snapped around his neck. He yelped and tried to get free, but he could not.
+
+"Help! Help!" he barked. His mom heard him and came to the kitchen. She saw Tom with the collar and the cake. She was angry and sad. She took off the collar and scolded Tom.
+
+"Tom, you are a naughty dog. You should not taste things that are not yours. You could have hurt yourself or made a mess. The cake was for grandma's birthday. Now it is ruined. How do you think grandma will feel?"
+
+Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He wagged his tail and licked his mom's face. He said, "I am sorry, mom. I was greedy and curious. I will not taste things that are not mine again. I will listen to you and be a good dog. Can we still make grandma happy?"
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "I forgive you, Tom. You are a good dog. You just made a mistake. We can still make grandma happy. We can bake a new cake together. And you can taste a small piece, if you behave."
+
+Tom was happy and learned his lesson. He helped his mom bake a new cake. He only tasted his food and water. He gave grandma a big kiss and a card. Grandma was happy and loved Tom. Tom was happy and loved his mom and grandma. He never tasted things that were not his again.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Tom is scared.
+
+"Come on, Tom. It is fun. I will lead you," Lily says.
+
+"No, Lily. It is too high. I will fall," Tom says.
+
+Lily holds Tom's hand. She smiles at him. "You will not fall. I will hold you. Do you remember when we went on the swing? You were scared, but then you liked it," she says.
+
+Tom thinks. He remembers the swing. He liked the swing. He feels a little brave. He nods at Lily. "Okay, Lily. I will try. But you have to stay with me," he says.
+

+
+But the wheel spins too fast. Tom and Jen feel sick. They want to stop. They cry and scream.

+"Look, Ben, what are those?" Anna asked, pointing at the tree.
+
+"I don't know, Anna, maybe they are cherries. They look yummy," Ben said.
+
+"Let's go and pick some," Anna said, and they ran to the tree.
+
+They reached the tree and saw a man standing under it. He was holding a basket full of cherries. He smiled at them and said, "Hello, children, do you like cherries?"
+
+"Yes, we do, sir, they look yummy," Anna said.
+
+"Can we have some, please?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, you can, but only if you ask nicely and say thank you," the man said.
+
+"Please, sir, can we have some cherries?" Anna and Ben said together.
+
+"Thank you, sir, you are very kind," they added.
+
+The man gave them each a handful of cherries and said, "You're welcome, children, enjoy. These are the best cherries in the town. I grow them myself and I admire them every day."
+
+Anna and Ben thanked him again and ran back to their mother, who was sitting on a bench. They showed her the cherries and told her about the man and the tree.
+
+"That's very nice of him, children, you should always be polite and grateful when someone gives you something," their mother said.
+
+She took a cherry and bit into it. "Mmm, this is delicious, children, you have good taste. Let's share these cherries and admire the beautiful garden."
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their toys. But today, Mom says they have to help with the laundry. She gives them a big basket full of clothes and tells them to walk to the laundry room.
+
+"Laundry is boring," Ben says. "I want to play with my truck."
+
+"Me too," Anna says. "But Mom said we have to help. Maybe we can play later."
+
+They walk to the laundry room, but it is very far away. They have to go down the stairs, across the hall, and past the kitchen. The basket is heavy and they are tired.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Ben asks.
+
+"Almost," Anna says. "Look, I can see the door."
+
+They reach the laundry room and put the basket on the floor. Mom is there, smiling. She says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very good helpers. You can play now, but don't go too far."
+
+"Yay!" Anna and Ben say. They run outside, leaving the laundry behind. They see their toys on the grass. They are happy. They forget about the distant laundry room.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with magnets. They have many magnets of different colors and shapes. They stick them on the fridge and make pictures.

+
+But when they open their closet, they see something funny. All their clothes are stuck together with magnets. Someone put magnets in their closet. Lily and Ben laugh. They think it is a joke.
+
+They try to pull their clothes apart, but the magnets are strong. They can't find their socks or their shoes. They only have one shirt and one pants. They are too big for them.
+
+They go to Mom and say, "Mom, look! We can't dress. Someone put magnets in our closet. Who did it?"
+
+Mom looks at their clothes and smiles. She says, "I think I know who did it. It was Max, your big brother. He likes to play tricks on you. He is very clever, but not very nice."
+
+Lily and Ben are not happy. They say, "Max is mean. He spoiled our clothes. We can't go to the park now. We are sad and tired."
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "Don't worry, my loves. I have a solution. You can wear my clothes and Dad's clothes. They are big and funny, but they are clean and warm. And you can take some magnets with you and play with them at the park. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Ben think for a moment. Then they smile and say, "OK, Mom. That sounds fun. Thank you, Mom. You are very nice."
+
+They wear Mom's clothes and Dad's clothes. They look silly, but they don't care. They take some magnets with them and go to the park. They have a lot of fun. They forget about Max and his trick. They are happy.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big bowl of olives that they got from the fridge. Olives were green and round and had a hole in the middle.
+
+"Look, Mia, I can put an olive on my finger!" Ben said. He slid an olive on his index finger and showed it to Mia. "It looks like a ring!"

+
+They laughed and showed each other their fingers. They felt happy and friendly. They liked to share and play together.
+
+But then, Ben had an idea. He thought it would be funny to pinch Mia's finger with his olive ring. He reached over and squeezed Mia's finger hard.
+
+"Ow, Ben, that hurts!" Mia cried. She pulled her finger away and dropped her olive. She felt sad and angry. She did not like to be pinched. "Why did you do that?"
+
+Ben saw Mia's face and felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt her. He thought it would be a joke. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia, I was just playing. I didn't know it would hurt. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Mia looked at Ben and saw that he was sorry. She knew that he was her friend and he did not want to make her cry. She said, "It's okay, Ben, I forgive you. But don't pinch me again, okay?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Mia, I won't pinch you again. I promise. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Mia smiled and said, "Yes, Ben, we can still be friends. Do you want to play some more?"

+
+Tom looks at the picture. It is a blue circle with four legs and a horn. He says, "It is a unicorn. It is a magic animal. Do you like it, Mom?"
+
+Mom nods and says, "I like it, Tom. It is very imaginative. But it is not a real animal, you know. It is a fantasy animal."
+
+Tom frowns and says, "But I like fantasy animals. They are fun and special. That is my opinion."
+
+Mom hugs Tom and says, "I know, Tom. And I respect your opinion. You can print whatever you want. But you also have to learn about real animals. They are also fun and special. And they live in the world with us."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment and says, "OK, Mom. I will learn about real animals. But I will also print fantasy animals. Because they make me happy."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That is fine, Tom. You can print both. And I will always love your pictures. Because they show me your wonderful mind."

+
+Mom and Dad hear them. They see the fire. They are angry and worried. They get a hose and spray water on the fire. They put out the fire. They are glad that Ben and Mia are not hurt.
+
+They ask Ben and Mia, "What were you doing? Why did you make a fire? Don't you know that fire is dangerous? It can burn you and the house and the plants. You could have been hurt. You could have hurt someone else."
+
+Ben and Mia are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We were playing dress up. We wanted to be firemen and princesses. We did not know that fire was so bad. We will not do it again."
+
+Mom and Dad hug them. They say, "We love you, Ben and Mia. But you have to be careful. Fire is not a toy. It is not a game. You have to respect fire and stay away from it. You have to listen to us and follow the rules."
+
+Ben and Mia nod. They say, "We understand, Mom and Dad. We love you too. We will be careful. We will listen to you and follow the rules."

+Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They loved their toy soldiers and did not want Rex to eat them. They followed Rex and tried to get them back.
+
+"Rex, drop them! Drop them now!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+They reached Rex and saw him lying on the grass. He had chewed some of the toy soldiers and spit them out. They were broken and dirty. Rex looked at Lily and Ben and licked his lips. He wanted more.

+
+They scolded Rex and took the toy soldiers away from him. They counted them and saw that some were missing. They were sad and angry.

+Mommy and Daddy smile and say, "Okay, Lily, we would love to hear you sing. What song are you going to sing?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment, and then says, "I'm going to sing a song about a sleepy bear. It goes like this: Sleepy bear, sleepy bear, where are you going? Sleepy bear, sleepy bear, are you snoring?"
+
+Lily sings her song with her microphone, and makes funny noises like a bear. Mommy and Daddy clap and laugh, and tell her she did a great job. Lily feels happy and proud. She says, "Thank you, Mommy and Daddy. I love you!"
+
+Mommy and Daddy say, "We love you too, Lily. You are a very good singer. But now it's time for bed. You must be sleepy too, after singing so much."
+
+Lily nods and says, "Yes, I'm sleepy. Can I take my microphone to bed?"
+
+Mommy and Daddy say, "Sure, you can take your microphone to bed. But don't sing too loud, or you might wake up the neighbors."
+
+Lily says, "Okay, I won't. Good night, Mommy and Daddy."
+
+Lily hugs them and goes to her room. She takes her microphone and cuddles with it. She closes her eyes and falls asleep, dreaming of singing more songs.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the forest. They find a big hill with many trees. They want to make a fort on the hill.
+
+"Let's use the wood from the trees to make our fort," Tom says. "We can break the long branches and pile them up."
+
+"OK, but how do we break the long branches?" Anna asks. "They are too hard for us."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He sees a big rock near the hill. He has an idea.
+
+"I know! We can use the rock to hit the branches. The rock will provide us with a tool to break the wood. Come on, help me carry the rock to the hill."
+
+Tom and Anna work together to lift the rock. It is very heavy, but they are strong. They carry the rock to the hill and put it down. Then they find some long branches and start to hit them with the rock. The branches crack and break. They make a big pile of wood.
+
+"Wow, we did it! We have enough wood to make our fort. Let's start building it," Tom says.
+
+"Yay, this is fun! Our fort will be the best in the forest," Anna says.
+
+They use the wood to make walls and a roof for their fort. They leave a small hole for a door. They are very proud of their fort. They go inside and pretend to be kings and queens of the hill. They have a lot of fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Sam were restless. They wanted to go outside and play, but it was raining. They looked out the window and saw gray clouds and wet grass.
+
+"Mom, can we go out?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. It's too wet and cold. Why don't you play with your toys?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Sam sighed. They did not want to play with their toys. They wanted to go out and fly their kite. They had a new kite that was red and blue and had a long tail. They had not flown it yet.
+
+They went to their room and looked at their kite. It was on the shelf, next to their books and games. They wished the rain would stop.
+
+"Maybe we can fly it inside," Sam said.
+
+"Inside? How?" Lily asked.
+
+Sam had an idea. He took the kite and the string and went to the living room. He moved the couch and the table and made some space. He tied the string to the doorknob.
+
+"Look, Lily. We can fly the kite here. We just need some wind," Sam said.
+
+Lily followed him. She saw the kite on the floor. She was not sure about Sam's idea.
+
+"How can we make wind?" Lily asked.
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He saw the fan on the shelf. He took it and plugged it in. He turned it on and pointed it at the kite.
+
+"There. Now we have wind," Sam said.
+
+He picked up the kite and threw it in the air. The fan blew on the kite and made it move. The kite flew up and down and left and right. Sam and Lily laughed. They took turns holding the string and flying the kite.
+
+They felt like they were outside. They forgot about the rain. They had fun with their kite.
+
+Mom came to the living room and saw them. She smiled. She was glad they found a way to play.
+
+"That's a nice kite," Mom said. "But be careful not to break anything."
+
+"We will, Mom," Sam and Lily said.
+
+They kept flying their kite until they got tired. They stretched their arms and legs and put the kite away. They thanked Mom for letting them play.
+
+They were not restless anymore. They were happy.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and bridges. They have fun.
+
+One day, they have a contest. Who can build the highest tower? They start to stack the blocks. Lily's tower is red and blue. Max's tower is yellow and green. They count the blocks. One, two, three, four, five...
+
+Max says, "I will win. My tower is tough. It will not fall."
+
+Lily says, "We will see. My tower is pretty. It will reach the sky."
+
+They keep stacking the blocks. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten...
+
+But then, a big wind comes. It blows hard. It makes the blocks shake. Lily and Max hold their towers. They try to keep them up.
+
+The wind blows harder. Lily's tower falls. The blocks crash to the ground. Lily is sad. She cries.
+
+Max says, "Ha ha! I win. My tower is tough. It did not fall."
+
+But then, the wind blows harder. Max's tower falls too. The blocks crash to the ground. Max is sad. He cries.
+
+Lily and Max look at each other. They see their broken towers. They see their tears. They feel sorry.
+
+They hug each other. They say, "It's okay. We are still friends. We can build again."
+
+They smile. They pick up the blocks. They start to build again. They have fun.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had cars, trains, planes and robots. He liked to make them go fast and make noises. He wished he had a cap that could make him powerful, like his favorite superhero.
+
+One day, it was his birthday. He was very happy. He had a cake, balloons and presents. His mom and dad gave him a big hug and said, "Happy birthday, Tom! We love you very much. We have a special gift for you. Open it and see!"
+
+Tom opened the gift and saw a cap. It was red and blue, with a star on the front. It looked like his superhero's cap. He was very excited. He put it on and said, "Wow! Thank you, mom and dad! This is the best gift ever! Does it make me powerful?"
+
+His mom and dad smiled and said, "Yes, it does, Tom. But not in the way you think. It makes you powerful because it reminds you of how brave, smart and kind you are. You can do anything you set your mind to, as long as you believe in yourself and help others. That's what makes a real superhero."
+
+Tom felt a warm feeling in his heart. He understood what his mom and dad meant. He hugged them and said, "I love you, too. You are the best mom and dad ever. And I am a powerful superhero, with or without the cap. But I like the cap a lot. Can I wear it all day?"
+
+His mom and dad laughed and said, "Of course you can, Tom. It's your birthday. You can wear it as long as you want. Now, let's have some cake and celebrate!"
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big box near a tree. It was locked with a padlock. They were curious.
+
+"Maybe there is something fun inside," Tom said. "Let's find the key."
+
+They looked around the box, but they could not see any key. They saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a big bag. Maybe he had the key.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Lily said. "Do you have the key for the box?"
+
+The man looked at them and smiled. He had a mean smile. He took out a key from his bag and showed it to them.
+
+"Yes, I have the key," he said. "But you have to do something for me first. You have to come with me to my car. I have some candy for you there."
+
+Lily and Tom felt fearful. They did not know the man. They did not want to go with him. They knew it was not safe.
+
+"No, thank you," Tom said. "We don't want any candy. We have to go home now."
+
+The man did not like their answer. He got angry. He grabbed the key and ran towards them. He wanted to catch them.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily and Tom shouted. They ran away from the man. They ran to the playground where there were other people. They saw a police officer. They told him what happened.
+
+The police officer listened to them. He was kind. He called for backup. He went to the bench and found the man. He arrested him. He opened the box with the key. He found some stolen things inside. He increased the charges against the man.
+
+Lily and Tom were safe. They were brave. They hugged each other. They thanked the police officer. They learned a lesson. They never talked to strangers again.
+Lily liked to play in the mud. She made mud pies and mud castles and mud animals. She was very happy, but also very dirty. Her mom did not like it when Lily was dirty. She said, "Lily, you need to take a bath. Come inside now."
+
+Lily did not want to take a bath. She liked to be dirty. She ran away from her mom and hid behind a tree. Her mom looked for her and called her name. "Lily, where are you? It's time for your bath."
+
+Lily did not answer. She stayed behind the tree and hoped her mom would not find her. But her mom was smart. She saw Lily's footprints in the mud. She followed them to the tree and saw Lily. She said, "Lily, I found you. You can't hide from me. Come on, let's go to the bath."
+
+Lily was sad. She did not want to leave her mud. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to go. I want to stay here." She tried to run away again, but her mom was faster. She caught Lily and carried her to the house.
+
+Lily kicked and screamed. She did not like to be carried. She tried to wiggle out of her mom's arms. But her mom was strong. She held Lily tight and took her to the bathroom. She filled the tub with warm water and put some soap in it. She said, "Lily, you need to wash off the mud. The soap will make you clean and smell nice."
+
+Lily did not like the soap. She thought it was slippery and yucky. She said, "No, mom, I don't want the soap. I want the mud." She grabbed the soap and threw it across the room. The soap flew in the air and hit the window. It made a loud noise and broke the glass. Lily and her mom were shocked. They looked at the window and saw the soap fall to the ground. They heard a car honk outside. They saw a man get out of the car and look at the window. He was angry. He said, "Hey, who threw this soap at my car? It scratched my paint. That's not nice."
+
+Lily and her mom felt sorry. They did not mean to hit the car. They said, "We're sorry, sir. It was an accident. Lily did not want to take a bath. She threw the soap and it broke the window. We'll pay for the damage."
+
+The man was still angry, but he saw Lily and her mom were sorry. He said, "Well, I guess it was an accident. But you should be more careful. And you, little girl, you should listen to your mom. Taking a bath is good for you. It makes you clean and healthy. And it prevents you from throwing soap at cars."
+
+Lily and her mom nodded. They said, "You're right, sir. We're sorry. We'll be more careful. And Lily will take a bath. Won't you, Lily?"
+
+Lily looked at the man, then at her mom, then at the soap. She saw the mud on her clothes and skin. She felt the dirt in her hair and nails. She smelled the stink on her body. She thought about the car and the window and the soap. She felt bad. She said, "Yes, mom. I'll take a bath. I'm sorry. I don't want to be dirty. I don't want to throw soap. I want to be clean and nice."
+
+Lily and her mom smiled. They hugged each other and said, "We love you." They went to the tub and washed off the mud. They used the soap and made bubbles. They laughed and splashed and had fun. They forgot about the car and the window and the soap. They were happy. They were clean.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with blocks. They build towers, bridges, and houses. They have many blocks of different colors and sizes.
+
+One day, they find a big ruler. It has numbers and lines on it. Anna says, "This is for measuring. We can see how tall our blocks are." Ben says, "That sounds fun. Let's measure our towers."
+
+They take turns measuring their towers. Anna's tower is six blocks high. Ben's tower is seven blocks high. Ben says, "My tower is taller than yours. I win!" Anna says, "No, you don't. It's not fair. You have more blocks than me."
+
+They start to argue. They push and pull the ruler. They knock down their towers. The blocks fall everywhere. They are sad and angry.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the mess and the tears. She says, "What happened here? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Anna and Ben tell Mom what they did. They say they wanted to measure their towers. They say they wanted to see who was better. Mom says, "Measuring is good. It helps you learn and compare. But measuring is not for making others feel bad. It is not for being mean or greedy. It is for being curious and kind."
+
+She picks up a pink block. She says, "Look at this block. It is pink. It is pretty. But how tall is it?" She puts it on the ruler. She says, "It is zero blocks high. It is flat. Does that mean it is bad or useless? No, it doesn't. It is still a good block. It can be part of something bigger and better. It can be part of a flower, or a heart, or a rainbow."
+
+She gives the pink block to Anna and Ben. She says, "You are like this block. You are good and pretty. But you are not better or worse than anyone else. You are part of something bigger and better. You are part of a family, and a team, and a world. You can work together and share and help. You can make beautiful things with your blocks and your hearts."
+
+Anna and Ben hug Mom. They say they are sorry. They say they love each other. They say they love Mom. They say they love the pink block. They pick up the blocks and the ruler. They start to build again. They measure and compare, but they also praise and cooperate. They make a big tower with all the colors. They make a flower, and a heart, and a rainbow. They are happy and proud.
+Mia and Leo were playing in the park. They saw a big sack near the slide. They ran to the sack and opened it. Inside, they found many bottles of bubble soap and wands.
+
+"Wow, look at all the bubbles!" Mia said. "Let's make some!"
+
+They took out the bottles and wands and started to blow bubbles. The bubbles were big and shiny and flew in the air. They chased the bubbles and tried to catch them. They laughed and had fun.
+
+Then, they saw a man walking towards them. He looked angry. He was wearing a uniform and a hat. He was the park keeper.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my sack?" he shouted. "That's my bubble soap for the fountain. Give it back!"
+
+Mia and Leo were scared. They dropped the bottles and wands and ran away. They hid behind a bench.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Mia said. "We didn't know it was yours. We just wanted to play with the bubbles."
+
+The park keeper picked up his sack and looked at the bottles. Some of them were empty. He sighed.
+
+"Next time, ask before you take something that doesn't belong to you," he said. "Bubbles are fun, but they are not free. Now, go home and don't come back without your parents."
+
+Mia and Leo nodded. They felt bad. They said sorry again and left the park. They decided to go to the store and buy their own bubble soap. They hoped it would be as delicious as the one in the park.
+Anna loved her doll very much. She gave her doll a name, Lily, and played with her every day. She valued Lily more than any other toy. She hugged Lily, dressed her, and told her stories.
+
+One day, Anna went to the park with her mom and Lily. She saw some other children playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them, but she did not want to leave Lily alone. She asked her mom if she could take Lily with her.
+
+"Of course, sweetie, but be careful not to lose her," her mom said. "And be obedient and come back when I call you."
+
+Anna nodded and ran to the swings with Lily. She put Lily on the seat next to her and pushed her gently. She felt happy and smiled.
+
+But she did not see a boy watching her from behind a tree. He was a thief. He wanted to take Lily away from Anna. He waited until Anna was looking at the sky and then he ran to the swings. He grabbed Lily and ran away.
+
+Anna saw him and screamed. "Mom! Mom! A thief took Lily!"
+
+Her mom heard her and ran to her. She saw the boy running with Lily and chased him. She caught him and took Lily back. She scolded him and told him to say sorry to Anna.
+
+The boy was scared and ashamed. He said sorry to Anna and gave her Lily. He ran away, crying.
+
+Anna hugged Lily and thanked her mom. She was glad to have Lily back. She learned to be more careful with her toys. She valued Lily even more. She was obedient and stayed close to her mom. She never let Lily out of her sight again.
+Tom is a small fish. He lives in a tank with other fish. He likes to swim and play with his friends. But he does not like to wake up early.
+
+Every morning, the sun shines on the tank and makes it bright. Tom wants to sleep more, but the other fish are awake. They make noise and splash water. They say, "Wake up, Tom! It is time to eat and have fun!"
+
+Tom is grumpy. He says, "No, I want to sleep. Go away and leave me alone!" He hides under a rock and closes his eyes. He does not want to eat or have fun.
+
+But the other fish do not listen. They want Tom to join them. They swim around the rock and try to pull him out. They say, "Come on, Tom! Don't be lazy! There is so much to see and do!"
+
+Tom is angry. He says, "Stop it! You are bothering me! I don't like you!" He pushes them away and swims to the other side of the tank. He does not want to be friends with them.
+
+The other fish are sad. They say, "Why are you so mean, Tom? We just want to play with you. We like you!"
+
+Tom does not care. He says, "I don't care. I don't like you. I like to sleep. Go away and let me sleep!"
+
+The other fish are hurt. They say, "Fine. We will go away. We will not bother you anymore. We will not play with you anymore. We will not be your friends anymore."
+
+Tom thinks he is happy. He thinks he can sleep all he wants. He thinks he does not need friends.
+
+But he is wrong. He soon feels lonely. He soon feels bored. He soon feels sorry.
+
+He looks at the other fish. They are having fun. They are eating and playing and laughing. They are happy.
+
+He wants to be happy too. He wants to eat and play and laugh. He wants to have friends.
+
+He swims to the other fish. He says, "I am sorry. I was rude. I was selfish. I was wrong. Can you forgive me? Can you be my friends again?"
+
+The other fish are surprised. They are glad. They say, "Of course, Tom. We forgive you. We are your friends. We are happy to see you."
+
+They hug him and kiss him and welcome him. They share their food and their toys and their stories. They invite him to join their games and their adventures. They make him happy.
+
+Tom is happy. He learns to wake up early. He learns to share and care. He learns to be a good friend.
+
+He lives in a tank with other fish. He likes to swim and play with his friends. He likes to wake up early.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman.
+
+"Let's go for a walk and see the pond," Ben said. "Maybe we can see some ducks."
+
+"Okay," Lily said. "But be careful. The path is icy. We don't want to fall."
+
+They held hands and walked along the path. They saw some birds and squirrels in the trees. They sang a song as they walked.
+
+But then, Ben slipped on the ice. He let go of Lily's hand and fell on his bottom. He made a loud noise. Lily stopped and looked at him. She saw that his hat and scarf had fallen off. His face was red and wet.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked. She tried not to laugh.
+
+Ben felt embarrassed. He wanted to cry. He did not like falling. He did not like losing his hat and scarf. He did not like Lily seeing him like this.
+
+"I'm okay," Ben said. He got up and picked up his hat and scarf. He put them back on. He wiped his face. He hoped no one else saw him.
+
+"Come on, Ben," Lily said. She smiled at him. "It's okay. Everyone falls sometimes. I fell yesterday and Mommy helped me. Let's go see the pond. Maybe the ducks will make you feel better."
+
+Ben nodded. He took Lily's hand again. He felt a little better. He liked Lily. She was his friend. She did not make fun of him. She helped him.
+
+They walked to the pond and saw some ducks. They threw some bread crumbs to them. The ducks quacked and ate the bread. Lily and Ben laughed and watched them. They forgot about the icy path and the fall. They had fun. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to Mia's house. Mia has a piano. It is big and black. It has many keys.
+
+"Can we use the piano?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, we can. But we have to be careful. The piano is high. We need a stool to reach the keys." Mia says.
+
+They find a stool and put it in front of the piano. They climb on the stool. They take turns to press the keys. The piano makes sounds. Some are low and some are high.
+
+"Look, I can make a song!" Mia says. She presses some keys in a row. The piano sounds nice.
+
+"Wow, you are good! Can I try?" Tom says.
+
+"Sure, you can. But you have to press the keys gently. Do not hit them hard. The piano is not a drum." Mia says.
+
+Tom nods. He presses some keys gently. He tries to make a song. But the piano sounds funny. Some keys are too high and some are too low.
+
+"Oops, I do not know how to make a song. Can you teach me?" Tom says.
+
+"OK, I can teach you. Follow me. Press the keys like this." Mia says.
+
+She shows Tom how to press the keys. She sings along. Tom follows her. He presses the keys like her. He sings along. They make a song together. The piano sounds happy.
+
+They smile at each other. They are having fun. They like to use the piano.
+Tommy was a kind boy who liked to help his mom and dad. He liked to play with his toys, read his books, and draw with his crayons. He also liked to visit his grandma, who lived in a big house with a big garden.
+
+One day, Tommy went to visit his grandma with his mom and dad. He brought her a picture he had drawn of her and a flower he had picked from the garden. Grandma was very happy to see him and gave him a big hug and a kiss. She said, "Thank you, Tommy, for the lovely picture and the flower. You are such a kind boy. Come, let's have some cookies and milk in the living room."
+
+Tommy followed his grandma to the living room, where he saw a big couch, a big TV, and a big table. On the table, there was a tray with cookies and a pitcher with milk. There was also a small bowl with some round things that looked like candy. Tommy was curious and reached for the bowl.
+
+"Tommy, no!" his mom shouted. "Those are not candy, those are grandma's ashtrays. They are for smoking, and smoking is bad for you. Don't touch them, please."
+
+Tommy felt embarrassed and pulled his hand back. He didn't know what ashtrays were, or what smoking was. He just thought they looked like candy. He looked at his mom, who looked angry, and at his grandma, who looked sad. He felt like crying.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, grandma. I didn't mean to be bad. I just wanted to try the candy," he said in a small voice.
+
+His mom sighed and said, "It's okay, Tommy. I know you didn't know. But you have to be careful and ask before you touch things that are not yours. Ashtrays are not candy, they are dirty and dangerous. Grandma smokes because she is old and has a bad habit, but you should never smoke. Do you understand?"
+
+Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will never smoke. I will never touch ashtrays again. I'm sorry."
+
+His grandma smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tommy. I'm not mad at you. I'm glad you are a kind boy who likes to give me pictures and flowers. I love you very much. Come, let's have some cookies and milk, and I'll tell you a story."
+
+Tommy smiled and hugged his grandma. He felt better and said, "I love you too, grandma. Thank you for the cookies and milk. And thank you for the story."
+
+The moral of the story is: Be careful and ask before you touch things that are not yours. Smoking is bad for you and for others. Be kind and respectful to your elders.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Tom has a new toy. It is a big red car. Sue likes the car. She wants to play with it.
+
+"Can I play with your car, Tom?" Sue asks.
+
+"No, it is my car. You can't play with it," Tom says. He is not nice.
+
+Sue is sad. She thinks of a plan. She sees a man with a lot of money. She has an idea.
+
+"Hey, mister, do you want to buy a car?" Sue says to the man.
+
+The man looks at the car. He likes it. He gives Sue some money. Sue takes the money and runs away. She is happy.
+
+Tom sees Sue with the money. He is angry. He looks for his car. He sees the man with his car. He runs to the man.
+
+"Hey, that is my car! Give it back!" Tom says to the man.
+
+The man does not listen. He drives away with the car. He is happy.
+
+Tom cries. He has no car and no money. He is sad.
+
+Sue has a lot of money. She thinks she is independent. She does not need Tom. She buys a lot of candy. She eats the candy. She is happy.
+
+But soon, Sue feels sick. She has a stomach ache. She has a tooth ache. She has an itch. She scratches her itch. She has a rash. She is not happy.
+
+She wants to see Tom. She wants to say sorry. She wants to be friends. But Tom does not want to see her. He is mad. He does not want to be friends.
+
+Sue is alone. She has no car, no candy, no friend. She is sad.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the snow and make snowmen. One day, they saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Maybe there are birds or squirrels," Lily said.
+
+"Or maybe there is honey," Tom said. "I love honey. It is sweet and sticky."
+
+They decided to climb the tree and look inside the hole. They put on their hats and gloves and scarves. The snow was icy and cold, but they did not mind.
+
+They reached the hole and peeked inside. They saw a big bear sleeping. He had a jar of honey next to him. Tom wanted to take the honey, but Lily was scared.
+
+"Tom, we should not take the honey. The bear will be angry. He might hurt us," Lily said.
+
+"But I want the honey. It looks so yummy. The bear will not wake up. He is snoring," Tom said.
+
+He reached for the honey, but the bear opened his eyes. He saw Tom and Lily and roared. He was very angry. He wanted to keep his honey.
+
+Lily and Tom were very scared. They ran down the tree as fast as they could. The bear followed them. He wanted to catch them.
+
+They reached the ground and ran to their house. They slammed the door and locked it. The bear banged on the door and growled. He wanted his honey back.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged each other. They were safe, but they were sorry.
+
+"Tom, we should not have taken the honey. It was not ours. It was the bear's. We made him sad and mad," Lily said.
+
+"I know, Lily. I was wrong. I was greedy. I am sorry. I promise I will never take honey from a bear again," Tom said.
+
+They looked out the window and saw the bear walking away. He was still angry, but he had his honey. He went back to his tree and his hole.
+
+Lily and Tom learned a lesson. They decided to be nice and share. They did not want to make anyone sad or mad again. They promised to be good friends.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play together. But they did not like the same things. Tom liked to eat peanuts, but Sam was allergic to them. Sam liked to play with cars, but Tom thought they were noisy and boring.
+
+One day, they decided to have a picnic in the park. Tom brought a bag of peanuts and Sam brought his favorite car. They sat on a blanket under a big tree. Tom opened his bag and started to eat peanuts. Sam said, "Don't eat peanuts near me. They make me sick."
+
+Tom said, "But I like peanuts. They are yummy and crunchy. You can play with your car over there." He pointed to the other side of the blanket.
+
+Sam said, "No, I want to play with my car here. It is fast and fun. You can eat your peanuts over there." He pointed to the other side of the tree.

+Mom said “This is a special island, it has a secret. You must find the truth or you won't be able to go home.†
+
+The boy searched the island for truth, but he couldn't find it anywhere. He asked a bird, "Where is truth?" But the bird had no answer. He asked a fish, a crab, and a monkey, but none of them knew where truth was.

+Once upon a time, there was a small boy named Jack. He was only three years old, but he was brave and always wanted to explore the world. One day Jack decided to take a walk outside and he saw something amazing: a horse! 
+
+Jack stared at the horse in awe. He had never seen one before and it looked very beautiful. But he also felt a little bit scared because horses can be dangerous. 
+
+So Jack hesitated for a moment, and then walked up to the horse. He took a deep breath and said: "Hello horse, what’s your name?" 
+
+The horse didn't answer, but it stared back at Jack. Then the horse started walking slowly towards Jack, like it was inviting him for a ride. 
+
+Jack stepped back and said: "No, I don't want to ride you. You are too big and dangerous!"
+
+The horse stopped and nodded like it understood. Then it walked away, as if to say goodbye.
+
+Jack waved goodbye and went back to his house, feeling a little bit scared but also excited about seeing a horse for the first time.
+Once upon a time, there was a mouse. The mouse was looking for something to eat, but couldn't find anything. Suddenly, the mouse saw a fake cheese! The mouse thought it was real and wanted to try it. 
+
+The mouse said, "Yum! I'm going to gain lots of energy from this cheese."
+
+The mouse was happy and started eating the cheese, but then it realized it was fake! 
+
+The mouse said, "Oh no! This isn't real cheese!"
+
+But then the mouse noticed a real piece of cheese, and said, "This is real cheese! I'm going to gain lots of energy from this!" The mouse was very happy, and quickly ate the cheese. 
+
+The mouse had gained energy from the real cheese, and was very content. The End.
+One day, Jack saw a big bike outside and knew he wanted to ride it. He asked his mommy for help but she said, "No, Jack! That bike is too big for you."
+
+Jack was very sad, but then his mommy gave him an idea. She said, "Why don't you ride your tricycle instead? You can still have some fun!"
+Jack smiled and said, "Yes, please!"
+
+Mommy helped Jack get on his tricycle. He was so excited to ride. As he pedaled, Jack met a nice man selling gum. He asked Jack if he wanted some and Jack happily said, "Yes! Please!"
+
+The man gave Jack two pieces of bubblegum. Jack thanked him and said, "Thank you for being so humble."
+
+The man smiled and said, "You're welcome, Jack. Have fun riding!"
+
+Jack waved goodbye and continued riding his tricycle. He had a wonderful time and thought to himself, "Riding sure is fun!"

+The fox looked very scared, so Joe tried to calm him down. "It's ok," Joe said. "I'm here to help you."
+Joe gently picked up the fox and carried him to the nearest town. The fox was very grateful and thanked Joe for his help.
