Bob gave his anchor to the big ship. The big ship used the anchor and stopped moving. + +The big ship gave Bob a gift. It was a new, cheap anchor. Bob was very happy. He said, "Thank you, big ship. You are a good friend too." From that day, Bob and the big ship were best friends. They played together in the big sea and helped each other when they needed it. +One day, a little cat named Tom went for a walk. He saw a big rail near his home. He wanted to walk on the rail, but his mom said, "No, Tom! It is not safe!" + +Tom did not listen. He went to the rail and tried to walk on it. A big dog named Max saw Tom. Max was terrible and liked to chase cats. Max said, "I will catch you, little cat!" + +Tom was scared. He tried to run, but he could not. He was stuck on the rail. He called for help, but no one came. He thought about what his mom said and knew he should have listened. + +Then, a big bird named Sue saw Tom. Sue was kind and wanted to help.

She ran over to him and said, "Tom, I found a perfect mitten! Is it yours?" Tom looked at the mitten and shook his head. "No, Lucy, that's not my mitten. But it's very nice!" + +Lucy and Tom decided to look for the owner of the mitten. They asked other kids in the park, but no one knew who it belonged to. Finally, they saw a little boy sitting on a bench, crying. Lucy went up to him and asked, "Little boy, are you missing a mitten?" + +The little boy looked up and saw the mitten in Lucy's hand. His face lit up with a big smile. "Yes, that's my perfect mitten! Thank you for finding it!" he said happily. Lucy and Tom felt good for helping the little boy, and they all played together for the rest of the day. +One day, a little boy named Tim went to the store with his mom. They wanted to buy a new computer. Tim was very excited. + +In the store, Tim saw many computers. He saw big ones and small ones. He saw some that were cheap and some that were not. Tim pointed at a cheap computer and said, "Mom, I like this one!" His mom looked at it and said, "Yes, Tim, that is a good choice." + +They bought the cheap computer and took it home. Tim was very happy. He played games and watched funny videos. Tim and his mom had a great day together. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim loved to play with his color box. One day, he found a big rock and had a great idea. He wanted to cover the rock with all his favorite colors. + +Tim went to his friend, Sue. "Sue, will you help me cover the rock with color?" he asked. Sue was glad to help. They both took their color boxes and started to paint the rock. They used red, blue, green, and yellow. + +As they painted, the rock started to shake. Tim and Sue were scared. The rock was not a rock at all! It was a big, angry monster. The monster did not like the colors on it. It chased Tim and Sue away, and they never saw their color boxes again. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tom. Tom had a small toy named Patch. Patch was a cute, soft bear. Tom loved Patch very much. They played together every day. + +One day, Tom felt angry. He was mad because his mom said he couldn't eat more candy. Tom felt guilty but he still wanted the candy. So, he took Patch and squeezed him very hard. Patch's arm broke off. Tom was very sad. + +Tom's mom saw what happened. She told him, "You should not hurt others when you are angry." Tom learned that it is not good to take out his anger on others.

The toy dog could jump and run. Tom loved to play with his toy dog every day. + +One day, Tom and his toy dog went to the park. They played and played until it was time to go home.

Tom told her about his amazing toy dog that was lost. + +The nice lady said, "I promise to help you find your toy dog." So they looked and looked until they found the toy dog under a tree.

It would fly over the trees and the houses. Everyone would look up and smile when they saw the bird. + +One day, the bird saw a small, shiny cell on the ground. The bird was curious and wanted to see what it was. It flew down and picked up the cell with its beak. The cell was pretty, and the bird wanted to keep it. + +But the bird did not know that the cell was bad. When the bird held the cell, it started to feel sick. The bird could not soar high in the sky anymore. It fell to the ground and could not fly again. The people were sad, and they missed seeing the bird in the sky. +Once upon a time, there was a graceful plane. It could fly high in the sky. It was very pretty. One day, the plane met a little bird. + +"Hello, little bird," said the plane. "Do you want to fly with me?" + +"Yes, I do," said the little bird. "But I am small. Can you keep me safe?" + +The plane said, "Yes, I will keep you safe. Let's fly together." + +So, the plane and the little bird flew together in the sky. They were very happy. But then, the sky became dark. The wind was strong.

He made new friends with other bees and bugs. They played and buzzed together. Soon, the bee was happy again in his quiet garden. And one day, his old friends came back to visit, and they all played together in the quiet garden. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big flag on a pole. The flag was red and white and blue. It had stars and stripes. + +"Look, a flag!" Lily said. "Let's go see it." + +They ran to the flag. They saw a rope that held the flag. Max had an idea. He wanted to twist the rope. + +"Watch this," he said. He pulled the rope and twisted it. The flag went up and down. It made a funny sound. + +Lily laughed. She thought it was fun. She helped Max twist the rope. They made the flag dance in the wind. + +A man came out of a building. He saw Lily and Max. He was not happy. He did not like them twisting the rope. + +"Hey, stop that!" he shouted. "You are not supposed to touch the flag. It is not a toy. It is a symbol of our country." + +Lily and Max stopped. They did not know what a symbol was. They did not mean to be bad. They were just playing. + +The man saw their faces. They looked scared and sorry. He felt a little bad. He remembered he was once a child too. He decided to be nice. + +He walked to them and smiled. He was a charming man. He had a kind face and a gentle voice. + +"I'm sorry I yelled at you," he said. "I know you were just having fun. But the flag is very important. It represents our freedom and our values. We have to respect it and take care of it. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They understood a little. They wanted to be respectful and careful. + +"Can you tell us more about the flag?" Lily asked. She was curious. + +"Sure, I can," the man said. He was glad they were interested. He took them to the building. It was a museum. He showed them pictures and stories of the flag. He told them how it was made and what it meant. + +Lily and Max learned a lot. They liked the flag more. They thanked the man for teaching them. + +They went back to the park. They saw the flag again. They did not twist the rope. They waved at the flag. They felt proud and happy. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big open field with many flowers and trees. They also saw some rabbits hopping around and eating grass. Ben and Lily loved rabbits. They wanted to pet them and play with them. + +"Mom, can we go see the rabbits?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be gentle and quiet. Rabbits are shy and scared of loud noises," mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded and ran to the field. They saw a brown rabbit with long ears and a fluffy tail. It looked very soft and cute. Ben and Lily walked slowly and carefully towards the rabbit. They reached out their hands to touch it. + +But the rabbit did not like that. It saw Ben and Lily and felt afraid. It thought they wanted to hurt it or catch it. It did not want to be touched or played with. It wanted to be free and safe. So the rabbit did something that surprised Ben and Lily. It screamed. + +The rabbit screamed very loud and high. It sounded like a whistle or a siren. Ben and Lily were shocked and scared. They did not know rabbits could scream. They jumped back and covered their ears. They looked at the rabbit with wide eyes. + +"Mom, the rabbit screamed!" Lily cried. + +"Shh, it's okay. The rabbit was just scared. It was trying to warn you and the other rabbits. It's a way of saying 'leave me alone'," mom explained. + +"Really? I'm sorry, rabbit. I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to be your friend," Ben said. + +The rabbit heard Ben and Lily. It saw that they were not mean or bad. They were just curious and friendly. It felt a little sorry for screaming. It stopped screaming and looked at Ben and Lily. It twitched its nose and wiggled its ears. It was a way of saying 'it's okay'. + +Ben and Lily smiled and waved at the rabbit. They understood that the rabbit wanted to be left alone. They respected that. They decided to watch the rabbit from a distance. They saw it hop and nibble and play with the other rabbits. They thought it was very happy and cute. + +"Mom, can we come back to the park and see the rabbits again?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but remember to be gentle and quiet. Rabbits are shy and scared of loud noises," mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded and hugged their mom. They learned something new and had fun. They loved the park and the rabbits. They hoped the rabbits liked them too. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a chain. The chain is long and shiny. They can swing it and make noise. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and furry. It has a collar and a leash, but no owner. The dog barks and runs to Anna and Ben. They are scared. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben says. He drops the ball and the chain and runs away. Anna runs too, but she is slower. The dog is fast and catches up with her. It jumps and bites her leg. Anna cries. + +"Help, help!" Anna shouts. A man hears her and comes to the park. He is the dog's owner. He is sorry and angry. He pulls the dog away and puts it on the leash. He says sorry to Anna and Ben. + +"Are you okay, Anna?" Ben asks. He comes back with the ball and the chain. He gives them to Anna. He hugs her and says he is sorry too. + +Anna is hurt, but she is brave. She says thank you to Ben and the man. She says she is okay. She says she still likes dogs, but not this one. She says she likes Ben more. They are still friends. They go home with the ball and the chain. They are modest and happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben wanted to play with the doll too. + +"Give me the doll, Lily!" Ben said. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. + +They started to pull the doll from each other. The doll's arm broke off and they both gasped. + +"Look what you did!" Lily cried. "You broke my doll! You are bad!" + +She ran to their mom and showed her the doll. Mom was angry and sad. + +"Ben, you hurt your sister and her doll. That's not nice. You have to say sorry and go to jail." Mom said. + +She pointed to a corner of the room where there was a chair and a blanket. That was their jail. + +"Jail? But I don't want to go to jail!" Ben said. + +He felt sorry for breaking the doll, but he also felt mad at Lily for not sharing. + +"You have to go to jail until you learn to be nice and share. And you have to say sorry to Lily and the doll." Mom said. + +She took Ben to the jail and covered him with the blanket. He sat on the chair and pouted. + +Lily hugged her doll and felt happy. She had her doll and Ben was in jail. She thought he deserved it. + +But after a while, she felt lonely. She missed playing with Ben. She looked at the doll's arm and felt sad. She wished the doll was not broken. + +She went to the jail and peeked under the blanket. She saw Ben's face. He looked sad too. + +"Lily?" Ben said. + +"Hi, Ben." Lily said. + +She lifted the blanket and sat next to him. She showed him the doll's arm. + +"I'm sorry I broke your doll, Lily. I was mean." Ben said. + +"I'm sorry I didn't share with you, Ben. I was selfish." Lily said. + +They hugged each other and said sorry again. + +"Can you forgive me, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"Can you forgive me, Ben?" Lily asked. + +They nodded and smiled. + +"Of course I can forgive you. You are my brother." Lily said. + +"Of course I can forgive you. You are my sister." Ben said. + +They kissed the doll's arm and said sorry to her too. + +"Can we play together again?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, let's play together. And share." Lily said. + +They got out of the jail and took their toys to the living room. Mom saw them and smiled. + +"I'm proud of you, Lily and Ben. You learned to forgive and share. That's very good." Mom said. + +She hugged them and gave them a cookie. They ate the cookie and played happily. The end. +On Sunday, Anna and Ben go to the park with Mom and Dad. They like the park. It has swings and slides and a big pond. Anna and Ben see some ducks in the pond. They want to feed them. + +"Can we feed the ducks, Mom?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, honey. Here are some bread crumbs. But be careful, don't go too close to the water," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben take the bread crumbs and go to the edge of the pond. They throw some crumbs to the ducks. The ducks come closer and make quack sounds. Anna and Ben laugh. They like the ducks. + +But one duck is different. It is bigger and has a long neck. It is a goose. The goose is not friendly. It does not like the bread crumbs. It likes the soft hat on Ben's head. The goose sees the hat and wants it. + +The goose swims fast to Ben. It opens its big mouth and snaps at the hat. Ben is scared. He screams. + +"Help, Mom! The duck is biting me!" + +Mom and Dad hear Ben and run to him. They shoo the goose away. They hug Ben and check his head. He is not hurt, but his hat is gone. The goose has taken it. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. That was not a duck, that was a goose. It was very rude. Are you okay?" Mom says. + +"I'm okay, Mom. But I liked my hat. It was soft and warm," Ben says. + +"Don't worry, Ben. We can get you a new hat. A better one. One that the goose won't like," Dad says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They are happy. They still like the park. But they don't like the goose. They stay away from the pond. They play on the swings and slides instead. They have fun. They forget about the hat. +Sara was a big girl who liked to swim. She had a new swimsuit with a fish on it. She wanted to show her mom and dad how well she could swim in the pool. + +"Look at me, Mommy! Look at me, Daddy!" she shouted, as she jumped into the water. She kicked her legs and moved her arms. She felt the water on her skin and in her hair. + +"Wow, Sara, you are a great swimmer!" her mom said, clapping her hands. "You are so brave and strong!" + +Sara smiled and swam to the edge of the pool. She wanted to swim some more, but she also wanted to breathe. She lifted her head and opened her mouth. She felt something funny in her chest. She coughed and spat out some water. + +"Are you okay, Sara?" her dad asked, as he came closer. He looked worried and held her hand. + +"I'm okay, Daddy. I just swallowed some water. It made my lung hurt a little," Sara said, rubbing her chest. + +"Your lung is the part of your body that helps you breathe, Sara. You have to be careful not to let water go into your lung. It can make you sick," her dad explained. + +"I know, Daddy. I'm sorry. I was having so much fun. I wanted to swim like a fish," Sara said. + +"You can swim like a fish, Sara, but you also have to breathe like a human. You have to let your lung get some air. That's how you stay healthy and happy," her dad said. + +"I understand, Daddy. Thank you for teaching me. Can I swim some more, please?" Sara asked. + +"Of course, Sara. But remember to breathe, okay?" her dad said. + +"Okay, Daddy. I love you," Sara said. + +"I love you too, Sara. I'm very proud of you," her dad said. He hugged her and kissed her cheek. + +Sara put on her goggles and jumped back into the water. She swam like a fish and breathed like a human. She was happy and proud. She had a new swimsuit, a new skill, and a loving family. She was a big girl who liked to swim. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But they also like to eat cookies. Sometimes they eat too many cookies. Mom says cookies are yummy, but not good for them. She says too many cookies make them fat and sick. + +One day, Mom bakes a big batch of cookies. She puts them on a plate to cool. She tells Lily and Ben they can have one cookie each after lunch. Then she goes to the garden to water the flowers. + +Lily and Ben smell the cookies. They look at the plate. They see many cookies. They want to eat them. They forget what Mom said. + +"Let's have a cookie now," Lily says. "Mom won't know." + +"No, we can't," Ben says. "Mom said after lunch. We have to wait." + +"But I'm hungry," Lily says. "And they look so good. Just one cookie won't hurt." + +She reaches for a cookie. Ben tries to stop her. He grabs her hand. He wants to prevent her from taking a cookie. + +"Stop it, Lily!" Ben says. "You're being bad. Mom will be mad at us." + +Lily pulls her hand away. She is angry at Ben. She wants a cookie. She pushes Ben. Ben falls to the floor. He cries. + +Mom hears Ben cry. She runs to the kitchen. She sees Lily with a cookie in her hand. She sees Ben on the floor. She sees the plate of cookies. She is not happy. + +"Lily, what did you do?" Mom says. "Why did you take a cookie? Why did you push Ben?" + +Lily feels sorry. She knows she did wrong. She drops the cookie. She says sorry to Mom and Ben. + +Mom hugs Lily and Ben. She says she loves them. She says they have to listen to her. She says cookies are a treat, not a meal. She says they have to eat healthy food first. She says they can have a cookie later, if they are good. + +Lily and Ben nod. They say they understand. They say they will be good. They hug Mom. They hug each other. They say they love cookies, but they love Mom more. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide, but they have to wait for their turn. + +"Can we go now, Mommy?" Anna asks. + +"Not yet, sweetie. There are other kids in line. We have to be patient and wait," Mommy says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They watch the other kids go down the slide. They look happy and excited. Anna and Ben want to feel the same way. + +Finally, it is their turn. Mommy helps them climb up the stairs. She gives them a hug and a kiss. + +"Are you ready, Anna? Are you ready, Ben?" Mommy asks. + +"Yes, Mommy!" they say. + +"Okay, then. Zip down the slide and have fun!" Mommy says. + +Anna and Ben sit on the slide. They hold hands. They smile at each other. Then they push off and zip down the slide. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and scream with joy. They land on the soft grass. They get up and run to Mommy. + +"That was so fun, Mommy!" Anna says. + +"Can we do it again, Mommy?" Ben says. + +"Sure, you can. But first, let's have a snack. I brought some cookies and juice for you," Mommy says. + +She takes out a plate and a cup from her bag. She puts some cookies on the plate and pours some juice in the cup. She gives them to Anna and Ben. + +"Thank you, Mommy!" they say. + +They sit on a bench and eat their cookies and drink their juice. They are hungry and thirsty after playing. They are grateful for Mommy's snack. + +They look at the slide again. They see other kids zipping down. They want to join them. + +"Can we go on the slide again, Mommy?" they ask. + +"Of course, you can. But remember to share and take turns," Mommy says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They finish their snack and put the plate and the cup back in Mommy's bag. They run to the slide again. They are happy and grateful for the slide and for Mommy. +Lily liked to whistle. She whistled when she played, when she ate, and when she went to bed. She whistled happy songs and sad songs, loud songs and soft songs. She whistled all the time. + +One day, Lily found a sack in the yard. She opened it and saw many things inside. She saw a ball, a doll, a book, and a hat. She was very happy. She took the sack and ran to her room. She wanted to play with the things. + +But when she got to her room, she saw her brother Tom. Tom was upset. He was looking for his sack. He had lost it in the yard. He had put his ball, his doll, his book, and his hat in it. He wanted to play with them. + +Lily felt bad. She knew the sack was Tom's. She had taken his things. She did not want to make Tom upset. She gave him the sack and said sorry. Tom smiled and said thank you. He gave Lily a hug and asked her to play with him. + +Lily was happy again. She whistled a song of sorry and thank you. She played with Tom and his things. They shared the ball, the doll, the book, and the hat. They had fun. They whistled together. +Tim and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. But one day, they have a big fight. They fight over a medal. The medal is shiny and red. It has a star on it. Tim says it is his medal. He got it from his dad. Ben says it is his medal. He found it in the park. + +They pull and push and shout. They do not share. They do not listen. They are ignorant. They do not know that the medal is not important. They do not know that friendship is important. + +Then, Sara comes. Sara is their neighbor. She is smart and kind. She sees Tim and Ben fighting. She is sad. She does not like fighting. She has an idea. She goes to her house. She gets two medals. They are shiny and blue. They have hearts on them. She gives one medal to Tim and one medal to Ben. She says, "These are for you. They are friendship medals. They mean you are friends. Friends do not fight. Friends share and listen and help." + +Tim and Ben look at the medals. They look at Sara. They feel sorry. They say, "Thank you, Sara. You are right. We are friends. We do not want to fight. We want to share and listen and help." They give back the red medal to Sara. They hug each other. They hug Sara.

One day, Lily's mom said they could go to the movie. Lily was very happy. She wanted to see the movie with the big dogs and the funny cats. She ran to Sam's house to tell him. + +"Sam, Sam, come with me to the movie!" Lily said. "It will be fun!" + +Sam looked at Lily. He was envious. He wanted to go to the movie too, but his mom said no. He had to stay home and do his homework. He felt sad and angry. + +"No, I can't go to the movie," Sam said. "You are lucky. I have to work." + +Lily saw Sam's face. She felt sorry for him. She did not want to make him feel bad. She had an idea. + +"Sam, why don't you come to my house after the movie?" Lily said. "We can play with my new puzzle. It has a lot of pieces and colors. It will be fun too!" + +Sam smiled. He liked puzzles. He liked Lily.

They were best friends. Lily went to the movie with her mom. Sam did his homework. Then he went to Lily's house. They played with the puzzle. They had fun. They did not shake. They were happy. +One night, Lily and her dad went outside to look at the stars. Lily loved the stars. They were bright and shiny and made pictures in the sky. + +"Look, dad, a star!" Lily pointed at a big yellow star. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is, Lily. That star is called the sun. It is the biggest and brightest star we can see. But it is not the only star. There are many other stars, too. Some are smaller, some are bigger, some are red, some are blue. Every star is unique. That means it is different from all the other stars," dad explained. + +Lily nodded. She liked to learn new words. "Unique. Like me and you, dad. We are different from other people." + +"That's right, Lily. We are unique, too. And we are special, because we love each other," dad said and hugged Lily. + +Lily smiled and hugged dad back. She felt happy and warm. She looked at the sky again and saw a shooting star. It was a star that moved very fast across the sky. + +"Wow, dad, look! A shooting star! It is reversing!" Lily exclaimed. + +Dad looked and saw the shooting star, too. He laughed. "No, Lily, it is not reversing. It is just going very fast. Reversing means going backwards, like when we drive the car and we want to go back. The shooting star is not going backwards, it is going forwards. But it is very cool, isn't it?" + +Lily nodded. She thought the shooting star was very cool, too. She made a wish. She wished that she and dad would always be happy and see more stars together. She did not know if the shooting star could hear her wish, but she hoped it could. She felt like the shooting star was unique, too, just like her and dad. +Tom and Anna are playing in the garden. They like to dig in the dirt and find bugs and stones. They have a bucket and a shovel each. Tom finds a shiny green thing in the dirt. He picks it up and shows it to Anna. + +"Look, Anna, what is this?" he asks. + +Anna looks at the green thing. It is round and has a hole in the middle. She does not know what it is. She smells it. It has a strong smell that makes her nose tickle. + +"I don't know, Tom. It smells funny. Maybe it is a mint," she says. + +"A mint? What is a mint?" Tom asks. + +Anna shrugs. She has heard the word mint before, but she does not know what it means. She thinks it is something you eat or drink. + +"Maybe it is a candy. Do you want to try it?" she asks. + +Tom is curious. He likes candy. He puts the green thing in his mouth and bites it. He makes a face. The green thing is not candy. It is hard and bitter and spicy. He spits it out and wipes his tongue with his hand. + +"Yuck! That is not a mint! That is a bad thing! It hurts my mouth!" he cries. + +Anna laughs. She thinks Tom is funny. She gives him a hug and a kiss. + +"Sorry, Tom. I was wrong. That is not a mint. That is an unknown thing. We should not eat unknown things. They can be bad for us. Let's throw it away and find something else to play with," she says. + +Tom nods. He agrees with Anna. He does not want to eat unknown things anymore. He throws the green thing in the trash and takes a sip of water. He feels better. He smiles at Anna. + +"OK, Anna. Let's play something else. Do you want to make a sand castle?" he asks. + +Anna nods. She likes to make sand castles. She takes her shovel and bucket and follows Tom to the sandbox. They forget about the green thing and have fun playing in the sand. They are happy. +Ben and Mia like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises like vroom and beep when they push them on the floor. One day, Ben finds a big car in the garage. It has a shiny red motor and four big wheels. Ben thinks it is perfect. + +"Look, Mia, look!" Ben says. "I found a perfect car. It has a motor and it can go very fast. Can we play with it?" + +Mia comes to see the car. She likes it too. She sees a big bow on the car. It is blue and shiny. She thinks it is pretty. + +"Wow, Ben, wow!" Mia says. "This car is perfect. It has a bow and it is very pretty. Can we play with it?" + +Ben and Mia get inside the car. They pretend to drive it. They make noises like vroom and beep. They have fun. They do not know that the car is a gift for their dad. Their dad is coming home soon. He will be very happy to see his perfect car. He will also be very happy to see his perfect kids. He will hug them and thank them for the bow. He will let them play with the car sometimes. Ben and Mia will be very happy too. They love their dad and his perfect car. +Tom and Mia like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads with blocks and books. They zoom their cars on the roads and make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +One day, Tom finds a new car in his toy box. It is red and shiny and smooth. It has a big cross on the side. Tom likes the car very much. He shows it to Mia. + +"Look, Mia, I have a new car. It is a hospital car. It helps people who are sick or hurt. It is very fast and smooth. Do you want to play with it?" Tom says. + +Mia looks at the car. She thinks it is pretty. She wants to play with it too. She reaches for the car. + +"Can I have a turn, Tom? Please?" Mia says. + +Tom does not want to share the car. He likes it too much. He pulls the car away from Mia. + +"No, Mia, it is my car. You have your own cars. Go play with them. This is mine." Tom says. + +Mia feels sad and angry. She wants to play with the car. She thinks Tom is not nice. She tries to grab the car from Tom. + +"Give me the car, Tom. It is not fair. You have to share. Give it to me!" Mia says. + +Tom and Mia start to fight over the car. They tug and pull and shout. The car slips from their hands and flies in the air. It lands on the floor with a loud crash. The car breaks into pieces. The wheels fall off. The cross falls off. The car is not smooth anymore. + +Tom and Mia stop fighting. They look at the car. They feel sorry and scared. They broke the car. They do not know what to do. + +They hear their mom coming. She sees the car on the floor. She sees Tom and Mia with tears in their eyes. She knows what happened. + +She picks up the car and the pieces. She hugs Tom and Mia. + +"I'm sorry, mom. We broke the car. We were fighting. We did not share. We are sorry." Tom and Mia say. + +Mom smiles and kisses them. + +"It's okay, Tom and Mia. I know you are sorry. You made a mistake. But you can fix it. You can say sorry to each other. You can share your toys. You can play nicely. You can be friends. Do you want to do that?" Mom says. + +Tom and Mia nod. They say sorry to each other. They hug each other. They share their toys. They play nicely. They are friends. + +Mom fixes the car with glue and tape. She gives it back to Tom and Mia. + +"Here you go, Tom and Mia. The car is fixed. It is still a hospital car. It can still help people. It can still zoom. But you have to be careful with it. You have to take turns with it. You have to respect it. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Tom and Mia understand. They thank mom. They take turns with the car. They respect the car. They zoom the car on the roads. They make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep! + +They are happy. Mom is happy. The car is happy. The end. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park with their toy helicopter. They liked to make it fly in the air and watch it spin. Sometimes they pretended they were pilots and talked to each other on the radio. + +"Ben, this is Mia. I see a big cloud. Do you see it too?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, Mia. I see it. It looks like a dragon. Maybe it will breathe fire," Ben said. + +They laughed and flew their helicopter closer to the cloud. They wanted to see if it was really a dragon or just a cloud. + +But then, a strong wind came and blew their helicopter away. They ran after it, but it was too fast. They saw it land on a tree, far from them. + +"Oh no! Our helicopter is stuck! How will we get it back?" Mia cried. + +Ben thought for a moment. He saw a man with a ladder near the tree. He had a hat and a tool belt. He looked like he was fixing something. + +"Maybe he can help us. Come on, Mia. Let's ask him," Ben said. + +They ran to the man and tugged on his pants. He looked down and smiled. + +"Hello, kids. What can I do for you?" he asked. + +"Please, mister. Our helicopter is on the tree. Can you get it for us?" Ben said. + +"Sure, I can. I'm a handyman. I fix things and help people. That's a nice helicopter you have. Did you make it fly?" the man said. + +"Yes, we did. We like to play with it. It's very useful. It can go fast and high and make noise," Mia said. + +"Well, then, let's not waste any time. I'll climb the ladder and get your helicopter. You wait here and hold the ladder for me. Can you do that?" the man said. + +"Yes, we can. Thank you, mister. You're very kind," Ben and Mia said. + +They held the ladder and watched the man climb up. He reached the helicopter and took it from the branch. He came down and handed it to them. + +"Here you go, kids. Your helicopter is safe and sound. Be careful with it, okay? And don't fly it too close to the clouds. They might be dragons," he said. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you, mister. You're the best. We'll be careful, we promise. And we'll always remember you," Ben and Mia said. + +They hugged the man and squeezed their helicopter. They were so happy to have it back. They waved goodbye to the man and ran back to the park. They played with their helicopter again, but this time, they stayed away from the clouds. They knew they had a friend who could help them if they needed. He was a handyman, and he was very useful. +Timmy was a little bunny who loved to hop. Every morning, he would hop out of his bed and hop to the window. He liked to see the sun and the flowers and the birds. He would hop to his mom and dad and say, "Good morning, I love you!" + +One morning, he hopped to the window and saw something new. It was a big, brown, smelly thing. It had four legs and a long tail. It was a dog. The dog saw Timmy and barked. Timmy was scared. He hopped away from the window and hid under his bed. + +"Mom, dad, there is a dog outside!" he cried. + +His mom and dad came to his room and looked out the window. They saw the dog too. They were not scared. They knew the dog was friendly. They said, "Timmy, don't be afraid. The dog is our new neighbor. His name is Spot. He likes to play and he is very nice. He is just saying hello to you." + +Timmy peeked out from under his bed. He saw his mom and dad smile and wave at the dog. The dog wagged his tail and licked his nose. Timmy felt curious. He wanted to play too. He hopped out from under his bed and hopped to the window. He said, "Hello, Spot. I am Timmy. I like to hop. Do you want to hop with me?" + +Spot barked happily and nodded his head. He jumped over the fence and ran to Timmy's door. Timmy's mom and dad opened the door and let him in. Timmy and Spot became friends. They hopped and played and had fun. They did not mind that Spot was smelly. They liked each other very much. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the farm. One day, they see a big pile of wheat. Wheat is what bread is made from. They want to touch the wheat and make shapes with it. + +They run to the wheat and start to play. They make a wheat castle and a wheat dog. They are having fun. But they do not see the farmer coming. The farmer is angry. He does not want the children to play with his wheat. He thinks they will ruin it. + +"Hey, you two! Get away from my wheat!" the farmer shouts. He runs to the wheat pile and grabs Lily and Ben. He is very strong. He takes them to a small shed and locks the door. He says he will let them out when their parents come. He leaves them alone in the dark. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They do not like the shed. It is cold and dirty. They hear the wind howling outside. It is icy. They hug each other and cry. They wish they did not play with the wheat. They wish they could go home. + +They do not know how long they are in the shed. They are hungry and thirsty. They hope their parents will find them soon. They hear a knock on the door. They hear their names. It is their parents! They are so happy. They shout and bang on the door. + +Their parents hear them and open the lock. They hug Lily and Ben and take them out of the shed. They are angry with the farmer. They say he was very mean and wrong. They say they will call the police. They take Lily and Ben home and give them hot chocolate and cookies. They tell them they love them and they are sorry. They tell them not to play with the wheat again. Lily and Ben say they are sorry too. They say they love their parents and they are glad they are safe. They promise to be good and careful. They never play with the wheat again. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play outside. But today it is very cold. Mom says they need to dress warm. + +"Put on your hats and gloves," Mom says. "And your boots and coats too." + +Sara and Tom do what Mom says. They dress warm. They go to the porch. They see snow on the ground. It is white and soft. + +"Let's make a snowman!" Sara says. + +"OK!" Tom says. + +They run to the yard. They roll big balls of snow. They stack them up. They make a snowman. They give him a carrot nose and a scarf. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is a truck. It has a big shovel. It pushes the snow away. It comes near their snowman. + +"Stop!" Sara and Tom shout. "That's our snowman!" + +But the truck does not stop. It hits their snowman. It breaks him. The snowman falls down. His nose and scarf fly away. + +Sara and Tom are very sad. They cry. They run back to the porch. They hug Mom. + +"I'm sorry, sweeties," Mom says. "The truck was doing its job. It had to clear the road." + +"But it broke our snowman!" Sara says. + +"It was hard work to make him!" Tom says. + +"I know, I know," Mom says. "But you can make another one. Or maybe something else. How about a snow fort? Or a snow angel?" + +Sara and Tom wipe their tears. They look at the snow. It is still white and soft. + +"Maybe a snow fort," Sara says. + +"Or a snow angel," Tom says. + +They smile. They hold Mom's hand. They go back to the yard. They play in the snow. They have fun. They forget about the truck and the snowman. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They had a big bowl, a wooden spoon and some flour. They wanted to make a cake for their mom. + +Lily said, "I will stir the flour. I am good at stirring." She took the spoon and started to stir the flour in the bowl. + +Ben said, "No, I will stir the flour. I am better at stirring." He grabbed the spoon from Lily and stirred the flour faster. + +Lily and Ben started to fight over the spoon. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The flour flew out of the bowl and made a big mess. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the flour everywhere and the twins still fighting. She was not happy. + +She said, "Stop fighting, Lily and Ben. You are not being nice to each other. You are being too competitive. You need to share and take turns." + +She gave them a cloth and told them to clean up the mess. Then she took out a book and said, "Let me read you a story. It is about a monkey who learns to share and make friends." + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting and listened to the story. They liked the monkey and his adventures. They learned that sharing and taking turns is more fun than being competitive. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +Mom smiled and said, "I am proud of you, Lily and Ben. You are good twins. Now, how about we make a cake together?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They helped mom to stir the flour and add the eggs and sugar. They poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. They waited for the cake to bake and smelled the yummy smell. + +They said, "We love you, mom. And we love cake." +Anna and Ben went to the circus with Mom and Dad. They saw many things that made them happy and excited. They saw lions and elephants and horses. They saw people flying in the air and spinning on ropes. They saw a clown who made funny faces and jokes. + +The clown saw Anna and Ben and came to them. He gave them each a big red balloon. He said, "Hello, little ones. Do you like the circus?" Anna and Ben nodded and smiled. They liked the clown. He was nice and funny. + +The clown said, "I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?" Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please!" The clown took out a big cake from his bag. It had white cream and colorful sprinkles on it. It looked delicious. The clown said, "This is for you. You can share it with your Mom and Dad. It is a special circus cake. Do you want to try it?" Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please!" + +The clown cut a slice of cake for each of them. He gave them forks and napkins. He said, "Enjoy your cake. And enjoy the circus. You are very good children." Anna and Ben thanked the clown. They gazed at the cake. It smelled good. They took a bite. It tasted good. They gazed at the clown. He smiled. They smiled back. They were very happy. They liked the cake. They liked the circus. They liked the clown. +Lily liked to polish her shoes. She used a soft cloth and some shiny cream. She made her shoes look new and bright. She was proud of her shoes. + +One day, she saw a white dove on the roof of her house. The dove looked soft and pretty. Lily wanted to touch it. She ran inside and got a chair. She put the chair under the roof and climbed on it. She reached out her hand to the dove. + +"Hello, dove," she said. "Can I be your friend?" + +The dove was scared of Lily. It did not want to be touched. It flapped its wings and flew away. Lily was sad. She wanted to see the dove again. + +She did not see the cream on the roof. The cream was from her shoes. She had dropped it when she ran inside. The cream made the roof slippery. Lily slipped and fell off the chair. She hurt her knee and cried. + +Mama heard Lily cry. She ran outside and saw what happened. She hugged Lily and took her inside. She cleaned her knee and put a band-aid on it. + +"Lily, why did you climb on the chair?" Mama asked. + +"I wanted to see the dove," Lily said. "But it flew away." + +Mama smiled. "The dove was high on the roof. It was not safe for you to climb there. You could have asked me to help you. Maybe the dove will come back another day. But you have to be careful and not scare it." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She was sorry for being naughty. She hugged Mama and said, "I love you, Mama. And I love the dove, too. I hope it comes back." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They also liked to make sounds with their mouths. Tom could whistle very well. He could make loud and soft whistles. Lily wanted to whistle too, but she could not. She only made funny noises. + +"Look at me, Lily!" Tom said. "I can whistle like a bird!" He whistled a high and low tune. Lily tried to copy him, but she only blew air. She felt sad and angry. + +"Stop it, Tom!" Lily said. "You are not a bird, you are a boy! And you are not nice, you are mean! You make me embarrass!" + +Tom laughed. He thought Lily was funny. He did not know she was hurt. He whistled again, louder and longer. Lily covered her ears. She did not want to hear him. + +Then, a big dog came running. It was a regular dog, with brown fur and a wet nose. But it did not like Tom's whistle. It thought Tom was teasing it. It barked and growled. It chased Tom around the park. + +"Help, help!" Tom cried. "The dog is after me! It wants to bite me!" He ran and ran, but the dog was faster. He looked for a place to hide, but he could not find one. + +Lily saw Tom and the dog. She felt sorry for Tom. She did not want him to get hurt. She had an idea. She used her mouth to make a different sound. She made a loud and scary roar. She sounded like a lion. + +The dog heard Lily's roar. It was afraid of lions. It stopped chasing Tom. It turned around and ran away. It did not want to mess with a lion. + +Tom saw the dog leave. He was relieved and grateful. He ran to Lily and hugged her. He said, "Thank you, Lily! You saved me! You are very brave and smart! And you can make a great roar!" + +Lily smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Tom! I am glad you are okay! And you can make a great whistle!" + +They both laughed. They forgot their fight. They were friends again. They played in the park, making sounds with their mouths. They made whistles and roars and other noises. They had fun. +Lily and Tom liked to play with shapes. They had a big box of shapes in different colors and sizes. They could make houses, cars, animals and anything they wanted with the shapes. + +One day, Lily and Tom were playing with shapes in their room. Lily saw a shiny red shape that looked like a star. She wanted to have it for herself. She took the shape and hid it under her pillow. She did not tell Tom. + +Tom looked for the red star shape. He liked it too. He asked Lily, "Where is the red star shape? I want to play with it." Lily said, "I don't know. Maybe it is in the box." But she felt guilty. She knew she had the shape. + +Tom looked in the box, but he did not find the shape. He was sad. He said, "The red star shape is gone. Someone took it." Lily felt more guilty. She wanted to tell Tom the truth, but she was afraid. + +Then, their mom came in. She saw Tom's sad face and Lily's guilty face. She asked, "What is wrong, children? Why are you not happy?" Lily and Tom did not talk. They looked at the floor. Mom said, "Did you do something bad? Did you take something that is not yours?" + +Lily felt very guilty. She could not lie to mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Tom. I took the red star shape. I hid it under my pillow. I wanted to have it for myself. But it was wrong. I will give it back to Tom. Please forgive me." + +Tom was surprised. He said, "You took the shape? Why did you do that? You should have asked me. I would have shared it with you. We are friends. We share our toys." He was angry, but he was also kind. + +Lily gave the shape back to Tom. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was selfish. I like the shape, but you like it too. We can play with it together. We are friends. We share our toys." She hugged Tom. + +Tom hugged Lily back. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You made a mistake, but you told the truth. That was brave. I like the shape, but I like you more. We are friends. We share our toys." He smiled. + +Mom smiled too. She said, "I'm proud of you, Lily and Tom. You learned a lesson today. You learned to be honest, to say sorry, and to forgive. You learned to share and to be kind. You are good children. I love you." She hugged them both. + +Lily and Tom felt happy. They said, "We love you too, mom. Thank you for teaching us. We will be good children. We will be good friends." They played with the shape and with each other. They had fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big gray jug on the table. It was full of water. + +"Let's hold the jug," Tom said. "We can pour water on the plants." + +"OK," Lily said. "But be careful. The jug is heavy." + +Tom and Lily each took a handle of the jug. They lifted it up and walked to the window. They saw some flowers in a pot. + +"Look, the flowers are thirsty," Tom said. "Let's give them some water." + +They tilted the jug and poured some water on the flowers. The water splashed and made a sound. + +"Wow, that's fun," Lily said. "Let's do it again." + +They poured some more water on the flowers. But they poured too much. The water spilled over the pot and onto the floor. + +"Oh no, we made a mess," Tom said. "Mom will be angry." + +They heard Mom coming. They quickly put the jug back on the table and ran to their room. + +"Tom, Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked. She saw the water on the floor and the wet flowers. She was not happy. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom and Lily said. "We wanted to help the flowers. We held the jug and poured water on them." + +Mom sighed. She got a mop and cleaned the floor. She moved the flowers to a sunny spot. + +"I know you meant well, but you have to be more careful," Mom said. "The jug is too big for you to hold. And the flowers don't need that much water. Next time, ask me before you play with the jug." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They hugged Mom and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never played with the jug again. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a magic wand in their room. It was shiny and had a star on the end. They wondered what it could do. + +"Let's try it on the teddy bear," Anna said. She pointed the wand at the teddy and said, "Shrink, shrink, shrink!" The teddy became very small, like a mouse. Anna and Ben laughed. They thought it was funny. + +"Let's try it on the doll," Ben said. He pointed the wand at the doll and said, "Shrink, shrink, shrink!" The doll became very small, like a bug. Anna and Ben laughed. They thought it was fun. + +They tried the wand on more toys, making them all very small. They put them in a box and carried them around. They felt very clever and powerful. + +But then, they heard a voice from the box. It was their mom. She had come to their room to check on them. She saw the wand and the box and guessed what they had done. She was not happy. + +"Anna, Ben, what have you done?" she asked. "You have shrunk all your toys. That is not nice. That is not fair. How would you like it if someone shrunk you?" + +Anna and Ben felt scared. They did not want to be shrunk. They did not want to lose their toys. They felt sorry. + +"Mom, we are sorry," they said. "We did not know the wand was magic. We did not mean to hurt our toys. Can you make them big again?" + +Mom sighed. She took the wand and pointed it at the box. She said, "Grow, grow, grow!" The toys became big again, like before. Anna and Ben were happy. They hugged their toys and thanked their mom. + +Mom smiled and gave them a wink. She said, "I'm glad you are sorry. But you should be careful with things you don't know. And you should be kind to your toys. They are your friends. They have feelings too." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They put the wand away and played with their toys. They were nice and fair. They had more fun. +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 they also made a big mess. Toys were everywhere on the floor, on the couch, and on the table. + +"Tom, Lily, it's time to clean up!" their mom called from the kitchen. "We have guests coming soon and the living room needs to look nice." + +Tom and Lily did not want to stop playing. They liked their toys and they did not like to clean. They looked at each other and had an idea. + +"Mom, we can't clean up!" Tom shouted. "Our toys are too expensive! If we touch them, they might break!" + +"Yeah, mom, that's true!" Lily agreed. "Our toys are very special and we have to be careful with them!" + +Their mom came to the living room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She knew that Tom and Lily were lying. Their toys were not expensive. They were just regular toys that they got from the store or from their friends. + +"Tom, Lily, that's not true!" their mom said. "Your toys are not expensive. They are just toys. And you have to clean them up. It's not nice to leave them all over the place. You have to share the space with other people. And you have to respect your things. If you don't clean them up, they might get lost or broken." + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They knew that their mom was right. They did not want to lose or break their toys. They also did not want to make their mom angry or sad. They decided to listen to their mom and clean up. + +"Sorry, mom," Tom said. "We were just joking. We will clean up now." + +"Me too, sorry, mom," Lily said. "We will help each other and make the living room nice." + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She was proud of them for being honest and responsible. She helped them put their toys in their boxes and bags. They worked together and soon the living room was clean and tidy. + +"Good job, Tom and Lily!" their mom said. "You did a great job cleaning up. I'm sure our guests will be happy to see you and your toys. And you can play with them again later, after dinner." + +Tom and Lily smiled and thanked their mom. They were happy to clean up and make their mom happy. They also learned a lesson. They learned that lying is not good and that cleaning is not bad. They learned to love their toys and their mom. +One day, a thief came to a town. He saw a big house with many things inside. He wanted to take some things for himself. He waited until it was dark and then he climbed over the wall. + +But he did not know that there was a dog in the house. The dog heard the thief and barked loudly. He ran to the thief and bit his leg. The thief cried out in pain and dropped his bag. He tried to run away, but the dog chased him. + +The owner of the house heard the noise and came out with a lamp. He saw the thief and the dog. He called the dog and praised him for being brave and loyal. He also saw the thief's wound and felt sorry for him. He said to the thief, "Why did you try to steal from me? Don't you know that stealing is bad? You could have asked me for help if you needed something." + +The thief was ashamed and afraid. He said, "I'm sorry, sir. I was hungry and desperate. I have no home and no family. I thought you had more than you needed." + +The owner of the house was a wise man. He said, "I have enough for myself and for others. I will not punish you, but I will teach you a better way to live. Come with me and I will heal your wound and give you some food. Then you can work for me and earn your own money. Maybe you can also find some friends and a new family here." + +The thief was surprised and grateful. He said, "Thank you, sir. You are very kind and generous. I will do as you say and try to change my life." + +The dog wagged his tail and licked the thief's hand. He was happy that the thief was not bad anymore. He hoped that they could be friends too. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside when it rains. They have big umbrellas to keep them dry. They jump in the puddles and laugh. + +One day, they see a big, shiny puddle. It looks like a mirror. They want to see their faces in it. They run to the puddle and hold their umbrellas over their heads. + +"Look, Anna, I can see your nose!" Tom says. + +"Look, Tom, I can see your eyes!" Anna says. + +They smile and make funny faces. They do not see the car coming. + +The car is fast and loud. It does not see Tom and Anna. It splashes the puddle and hits them. Their umbrellas fly away. They fall to the ground. They do not move. + +The car does not stop. It leaves. It is dirty and mean. + +Tom and Anna are hurt. They do not laugh. They do not play. They do not get up. They are gone. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they quarrel over who gets to play with what. + +One day, they find a big cloth in the closet. It is soft and colorful. They both want to use it for their games. + +"I want the cloth for my fort!" Tom says. + +"No, I want it for my dress!" Lily says. + +They pull the cloth from each other. They shout and cry. They make a big mess in the room. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Lily quarreling over the cloth. She is not happy. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. "You are being very naughty. You need to share the cloth and play nicely. Or else you will have no cloth at all." + +Tom and Lily feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They decide to take turns with the cloth. They make a fort and a dress and have fun together. + +They play until they are sleepy. They fold the cloth and put it back in the closet. They hug Mom and say good night. They go to bed and dream of more games. +Lily and Max liked to play in the backyard. They had a big sandbox, a swing, and a slide. They also liked to gather rocks, leaves, and flowers. They made piles of them and pretended they were treasures. + +One day, they saw something amazing in the backyard. It was a shiny red ball. It was bigger than their heads and it bounced very high. They ran to get it and took turns throwing it and catching it. They had so much fun with the ball. + +But then, something bad happened. The ball bounced too high and went over the fence. Lily and Max could not see it anymore. They tried to climb the fence, but it was too tall and sharp. They cried and shouted for the ball, but no one heard them. + +They were very sad and angry. They did not want to play with anything else. They did not want to share or be nice. They fought with each other and threw rocks, leaves, and flowers at each other. They made a big mess in the backyard. + +Their mom came out and saw them. She was very mad. She took them inside and scolded them. She said they had to clean up the backyard and say sorry to each other. She also said they could not play with the ball anymore, even if they found it. She said it was too dangerous and not theirs. + +Lily and Max felt worse. They wished they had never seen the ball. They wished they had played with their own toys. They wished they had been good. They learned a hard lesson. The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tent with many colors. They wanted to go inside and see what was there. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe there are toys or candy inside!" + +Lily was not sure. She felt scared of the unknown tent. She saw a sign that said "Do not enter". She tried to stop Tom. + +"Wait, Tom! The sign says no. Maybe it is not safe. Maybe there is a monster inside!" + +Tom did not listen. He was curious and brave. He ran to the tent and pulled the flap. He went inside. + +Lily heard a loud roar. She heard Tom scream. She ran to the tent and pulled the flap too. She saw a big lion with sharp teeth and claws. The lion had Tom in its mouth. The lion saw Lily and growled. + +Lily was very afraid. She wished she had listened to the sign. She wished she had stopped Tom. She wished they had never seen the tent. She tried to run away, but it was too late. The lion jumped on her and bit her. Lily and Tom were gone. The lion was full. +Sam and his mom were going on a big plane to see his grandma. He was very happy and excited. He packed his toys, his books and his teddy bear in his small bag. His mom packed her clothes, her phone and her passport in her big bag. + +They got in the car and drove to the airport. There were many people and cars and noises. Sam saw the big planes in the sky and said, "Wow, look, mom, they are so big and fast!" + +"Yes, they are, Sam. We will be on one of them soon. But first, we have to show our passports to the nice people at the gate. They will check them and give us tickets. Then we can go on the plane." + +Sam and his mom got out of the car and walked to the gate. They waited in a long line. Sam was bored and hot. He wanted to play with his toys, but his mom said he had to wait. He started to whine and cry. He did not want to show his passport. He wanted to go on the plane now. + +"Sam, please, calm down. We have to resist the urge to cry and be patient. Everyone has to show their passports. It's the rule. It won't take long. I promise. Look, we are almost there. See, the nice lady is smiling at us. She wants to see your passport. Can you give it to her?" + +Sam looked at the nice lady. She had a badge and a hat. She looked friendly. He stopped crying and reached for his passport. He gave it to her. She looked at it and said, "Hello, Sam. What a nice passport you have. You are going to see your grandma, right? That's wonderful. Here is your ticket. Have a nice trip." + +Sam smiled and said, "Thank you, nice lady. I'm going to see my grandma. I'm very happy." + +His mom smiled too and said, "Thank you, too, nice lady. You are very kind. Come on, Sam, let's go on the plane. It's time to fly." +Lily was a cat who liked to stretch. Every morning, she would wake up and stretch her legs, her back, and her tail. She felt good when she stretched. She liked to stretch on the rug, on the sofa, and on the bed. + +One day, Lily saw a strip of paper on the floor. It was pretty. It had many colors on it. Lily wanted to play with it. She stretched her paw and tried to grab it. But the paper moved away. Lily was curious. She stretched again and again, but the paper always moved. + +Lily did not know that Tom, her human brother, was holding the other end of the paper. He was making the paper move. He wanted to have fun with Lily. He liked to see her stretch and chase the paper. He laughed and said, "Good girl, Lily! You are so cute and smart!" + +Lily heard Tom's voice and looked up. She saw him smiling and holding the paper. She realized he was playing with her. She was not angry. She was happy. She liked to play with Tom. She ran to him and rubbed her head on his leg. He petted her and said, "I love you, Lily. You are my best friend." + +Lily and Tom played with the paper for a long time. They had a lot of fun. They stretched and laughed and hugged. They were happy. They were a family. +Lily and Max were playing in the pool. They liked to splash each other with water. They also liked to wear funny hats and sunglasses. They called it fashion. + +"Look at me, Lily!" Max said. He put a big straw hat on his head and a pair of red sunglasses on his nose. "I am a farmer!" + +Lily laughed. She put a flower crown on her hair and a pair of purple sunglasses on her eyes. "I am a princess!" + +They splashed each other and pretended to be different people. They had a lot of fun. + +Then they saw a duck swimming in the pool. It was yellow and fluffy. It quacked softly. + +"Hello, duck!" Lily said. She wanted to touch it. She was gentle and careful. + +The duck liked Lily. It swam closer to her and let her pet it. It quacked happily. + +"Can I touch it too?" Max asked. He was gentle and careful too. + +The duck liked Max as well. It swam closer to him and let him pet it. It quacked happily. + +Lily and Max were happy. They made a new friend. They shared their hats and sunglasses with the duck. They called it fashion too. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the grass. They saw a big tree with green balls on it. Ben said, "Look, Lily, olives! Let's pick some and eat them." Lily nodded and followed Ben to the tree. + +They reached up and grabbed some olives. They were hard and bitter. Ben spat his out and said, "Yuck, these are not good. They need salt and oil." Lily agreed and threw hers away. They heard a loud voice behind them. It was the man who owned the tree. He was angry and rude. + +"Hey, you little thieves! How dare you take my olives? They are not for you. They are for me and my family. Go away or I will call the police!" he shouted. He waved a stick at them and came closer. + +Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped their toy cars and ran away. They trembled as they heard the man yell and chase them. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They hugged her and told her what happened. + +Mom was sorry and mad. She said, "That was not nice of him. He should not scare you like that. Olives are not toys. They are food. But he should not be rude to you. He should have asked you nicely to leave. Come, let's go home and have some cookies. And don't worry, we will get your toy cars later." She kissed them and took them by the hand. Ben and Lily felt better and smiled. They learned a lesson and had a snack. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a secret spot under a big tree, where they kept their toys and books. + +One day, they saw a mean dog running towards them. It was barking and growling. Lily and Tom were scared. They ran to their secret spot and hid under the tree. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom shouted. "You can't have our toys!" + +The dog came closer and sniffed around the tree. It saw their toys and books and tried to grab them with its teeth. + +"No, dog, no!" Lily cried. "Those are ours!" + +Tom picked up a stick and waved it at the dog. He wanted to protect Lily and their things. He was brave. + +"Shoo, dog, shoo!" he said. "Leave us alone!" + +The dog did not like the stick. It barked louder and jumped back. Then it saw another dog across the park. It ran away to chase it. + +Lily and Tom hugged each other. They were safe. They thanked Tom for protecting them. + +They stayed under the tree until the sun went down. They watched the sky turn pink and purple. They saw the stars come out. They smiled and sang a jolly song. + +Soon, they heard their moms calling them. It was time to go home. + +"Bye, Tom," Lily said. "See you tomorrow." + +"Bye, Lily," Tom said. "We'll play again at sunrise." + +They waved to each other and ran to their moms. They were happy. They were best friends. +Anna likes to draw pictures with her colors. She has many colors, but her favorite is brown. She likes to draw brown bears, brown trees, and brown cookies. She draws a big brown bear on a paper and shows it to her mom. + +"Look, mom, I made a bear for you!" Anna says. + +"That's a very nice bear, Anna. You are a good artist," mom says. "Do you want to mail it to grandma? She would love to see your bear." + +"Yes, mom, I want to mail it to grandma. Can we go to the mail place now?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, Anna, let's go. But first, we need to write your name and grandma's name on the paper. And we need to put it in an envelope. Do you know what an envelope is?" mom says. + +Anna nods. She knows what an envelope is. It is a white thing that you put papers in. Mom helps her write her name and grandma's name on the paper. Then they put it in an envelope and seal it. They get their coats and shoes and go to the car. + +On the way to the mail place, Anna sees a big brown truck. It has a lot of envelopes and boxes on it. Anna thinks maybe her bear is in one of them. + +"Look, mom, a brown truck! Maybe it has my bear!" Anna says. + +"Maybe, Anna, maybe. But we still need to go to the mail place and give them your envelope. Then they will put it on a truck or a plane and send it to grandma. It might take a few days, but grandma will get your bear soon," mom says. + +Anna smiles. She is happy that grandma will get her bear. She hopes grandma will like it. She hopes grandma will send her a picture of her and the bear. She loves grandma. And she loves brown. +Jen and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys. Jen likes dolls and Ben likes cars. One day, they get a big box from their aunt. They open the box and see two gifts. One is a black car and one is a pink doll. + +"Wow, a car!" Ben says. He grabs the black car and runs to his room. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Jen says. She wants the black car too. She likes black more than pink. She follows Ben and tries to take the car from him. + +"Stop it, Jen! This is my car!" Ben says. He holds the car tight and does not let go. + +"No, it's mine! I want the black car!" Jen says. She pulls the car hard and makes Ben fall. + +"Ow, Jen! You hurt me!" Ben says. He starts to cry. + +Jen feels bad. She sees Ben's tears and hears his cry. She does not want to make Ben sad. She remembers that Ben is her twin and her friend. She lets go of the car and says sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was mean. You can have the black car. I will play with the pink doll." Jen says. + +Ben stops crying. He looks at Jen and smiles. He accepts her sorry and hugs her. + +"Thank you, Jen. You are nice. I love you. Do you want to play with me?" Ben says. + +Jen nods. She loves Ben too. She takes the pink doll and goes to Ben's room. They play with the car and the doll together. They are happy. +Ben and Mia liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with blocks and books. They pretended to drive their cars to different places. + +One day, they wanted to see how cars were made. They asked their dad if he could take them to a car factory. Their dad said yes, and they got in his car. He drove them to a big building with many windows and noises. He said that was the car factory. + +They went inside and saw many people and machines working on the cars. They saw how the cars got painted, fixed, and tested. They were amazed by all the things they saw. They wanted to touch everything, but their dad told them to be careful and stay close to him. + +Ben saw a shiny red car that he liked very much. He ran towards it and tried to open the door. But the door was locked and he could not get in. He pushed harder and harder, but the door did not move. He got angry and kicked the door with his foot. + +But the door was not dry yet. The paint was still wet and sticky. When Ben kicked the door, he got paint all over his shoe and his leg. He also made a dent in the door. He looked at his shoe and his leg and started to cry. + +Mia saw what happened and ran to him. She tried to wipe the paint off his shoe and his leg, but it only made it worse. She said, "Ben, you are in trouble. You made a mess. You hurt the car. The people who work here will be mad at you." + +Ben felt sorry for what he did. He did not mean to hurt the car or make a mess. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, car. I just wanted to see the car. I like the car. Can we fix the car?" + +Their dad heard them and came to them. He saw the paint and the dent on the car and on Ben. He was not happy. He said, "Ben, what did you do? You should not touch the cars. They are not toys. They are not ready yet. You have to wait until they are dry. You have to be gentle with them. You have to say sorry to the people who work here." + +Ben nodded and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, people. I'm sorry, car. I won't touch the cars again. I will be gentle. I will wait until they are dry." + +Their dad took them to the people who worked on the car. He explained what happened and apologized for Ben. The people were not happy, but they were kind. They said they could fix the car and the paint. They said they understood that Ben was curious and excited. They said they hoped he learned his lesson. + +Ben and Mia thanked the people and said sorry again. They said they learned their lesson. They said they still liked the cars, but they would not touch them. They said they wanted to see more of the factory, but they would stay with their dad and be careful. + +Their dad smiled and hugged them. He said he was proud of them for being honest and polite. He said he still loved them, even when they made mistakes. He said he would show them more of the factory, but they had to follow the rules. He said they had to be safe and respectful. + +Ben and Mia agreed and said they would follow the rules. They said they loved their dad and they loved the cars. They said they had fun at the car factory, even when they got into trouble. They said they wanted to come back again, but only when the cars were dry. +Anna and Ben were playing outside in the sun. They liked to run and jump and laugh. But soon they felt very hot and thirsty. They looked for some shade to rest under, but they could not find any. All the trees were too far away. + +They saw a big house with a porch. They thought maybe they could sit on the porch and drink some water. They ran to the house and climbed the steps. They saw a door with a sign that said "Do not enter". They did not know what it meant, so they ignored it. They opened the door and went inside. + +The house was dark and cold. They could not see anything. They heard a loud noise that made them scared. It sounded like a growl. They guessed it was a big animal that lived in the house. They wanted to run away, but they did not know where the door was. They felt something furry and wet touch their legs. They screamed and cried. + +The animal was a big dog that did not like strangers. It bit Anna and Ben and made them bleed. They felt a lot of pain and were very uncomfortable. They wished they had stayed outside in the sun. They learned a hard lesson: do not go into places where you are not welcome. +Lily and Ben were playing with yarn. They liked to make shapes and patterns with the yarn on the floor. Lily made a big heart with red yarn. Ben made a star with yellow yarn. They were happy. + +But then, Max came. Max was a big dog. He liked to chase and bite things. He saw the yarn on the floor and thought it was a toy. He ran to the yarn and grabbed it with his teeth. He pulled and shook the yarn. He made a big mess. + +"Max, no!" Lily shouted. "That is our yarn! You are ruining it!" + +"Bad dog!" Ben said. "Let go of the yarn!" + +But Max did not listen. He growled and tugged the yarn harder. He thought it was a game. Lily and Ben were scared and angry. They did not know what to do. + +Then, Mom came. She saw what was happening and said, "Max, release!" She used a stern voice. Max knew that voice. He dropped the yarn and looked at Mom. He wagged his tail. He wanted to say sorry. + +Mom picked up the yarn and said, "Lily and Ben, I'm sorry. Max did not mean to ruin your yarn. He was just playing. But he should not have taken your yarn without asking. He needs to learn to share and be gentle." + +She gave Lily and Ben some new yarn and said, "Here, you can have this yarn. It is great yarn. It is soft and colorful. You can make new shapes and patterns with it. And maybe you can teach Max how to play with yarn nicely." + +Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. And we love Max, too. But he needs to be careful with our yarn." + +They hugged Mom and Max and went back to playing with the yarn. Max watched them and learned. He did not grab the yarn anymore. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was happy. +Lily and Max are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They have many blocks of different shapes and colors. They put some blocks on top of each other. + +"Look, Lily, I have a red block and a blue block. They fit together!" Max says. + +"That's good, Max. I have a yellow block and a green block. They fit too!" Lily says. + +They keep adding more blocks to their tower. It is getting taller and taller. They are happy. + +But then, Lily sees a big block that is round and has holes in it. She thinks it is funny. She wants to try it. + +"Max, look at this block. It is round and has holes. Can I put it on our tower?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know, Lily. It is not like the other blocks. It might not fit. And it might make our tower fall down." Max says. + +Lily does not listen to Max. She picks up the round block and tries to put it on their tower. But it does not fit. It is too big and too heavy. It pushes the other blocks away. Their tower falls down with a loud crash. + +"Oh no! Our tower is gone!" Lily cries. + +Max is sad and angry. He looks at the round block. He sees that it is not a block at all. It is a wheel from a toy car. + +"Lily, that is not a block. That is a wheel. It is for going fast, not for making towers. You made a big mess!" Max says. + +Lily feels sorry. She did not mean to ruin their tower. She looks at the wheel. She sees that it has holes that are just the right size for her toes. She has an idea. + +"Max, I'm sorry. I did not know it was a wheel. But look, we can still play with it. We can put our toes in the holes and roll it around. It will be fun!" Lily says. + +She puts her toes in the holes and rolls the wheel on the floor. It goes fast and makes a funny sound. She laughs. + +Max sees Lily having fun. He is not sad and angry anymore. He thinks it is a good idea. + +"OK, Lily. That does look fun. Can I try it too?" Max asks. + +Lily nods. She gives the wheel to Max. He puts his toes in the holes and rolls it around. He laughs too. + +They take turns rolling the wheel with their toes. They forget about their tower. They are happy again. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But they also liked to eat steak. Steak was their favorite food. It was big and juicy and tasty. + +One day, their mom said she would make steak for dinner. Tim and Sam were very happy. They waited and waited for the steak to be ready. They were very hungry. They could smell the steak from the kitchen. It made their mouths water. + +But their mom also said they had to do their homework before they could eat. Tim and Sam did not like homework. It was boring and hard. They wanted to play and eat steak. They thought of a plan. + +They sneaked into the kitchen when their mom was not looking. They saw the steak on the counter. It looked so good. They reached for the steak. But then they heard their mom's voice. + +"Tim and Sam, what are you doing?" she asked. She saw them trying to take the steak. She was angry. She prevented them from grabbing the steak. She put the steak back on the counter. She said, "No steak for you until you finish your homework. Go to your room now." + +Tim and Sam were sad and sorry. They went to their room. They did their homework. They hoped their mom would still give them some steak. They learned their lesson. They should not try to take the steak before doing their homework. They should listen to their mom. She knew what was best for them. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the snow. One day, they see a big igloo in the park. They want to go inside. + +"Who lives in the igloo?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe a snowman or a penguin," Jen says. + +They walk to the igloo. They see a sign on the door. It says "Do not enter". + +"What does it say?" Tom asks. + +Jen can write a little. She reads the sign. + +"It says we can go in," she lies. + +"Why?" Tom asks. + +"Because it is fun," Jen says. + +She opens the door and goes in. Tom follows her. + +Inside the igloo, it is dark and cold. They see a lot of books and papers on a table. They see a man sitting on a chair. He is writing something. + +"Who are you?" the man asks. + +He is angry. He does not like visitors. + +"We are Tom and Jen," Jen says. + +"What are you doing here?" the man asks. + +"We want to see the igloo," Tom says. + +"This is not an igloo. This is my office," the man says. + +"Your office?" Jen asks. + +"Yes, I am a writer. I write stories," the man says. + +"Stories?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, stories. Like this one," the man says. + +He shows them a paper. It says "The Stupid Kids Who Went Into The Igloo". + +Tom and Jen are scared. They run out of the igloo. They do not want to be in the story. + +They learn a lesson. They do not lie or go where they are not allowed. They do not bother the writer. They play in the snow. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud noise from the bathroom. They ran to see what happened. They saw water coming out of the sink and the floor was wet. + +"Oh no, the sink is broken!" Anna said. + +"Who broke it?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, maybe Mom or Dad," Anna said. + +They heard the door open and Mom came in. She saw the mess in the bathroom and looked worried. + +"Mom, the sink is broken!" Anna and Ben said. + +"I see that, sweeties. Don't worry, I will call someone to repair it," Mom said. + +She took out her phone and called a plumber. She told him to come as soon as possible. She asked Anna and Ben to help her clean the water with some towels. + +"Thank you for helping, Anna and Ben. You are very good kids," Mom said. + +She gave them each a hug and a kiss. She said they could have a snack while they waited for the plumber. She went to the kitchen and brought back some cookies and milk. + +"Here you go, sweeties. Enjoy your snack," Mom said. + +She put the cookies and milk on the table. Anna and Ben sat down and took a bite of their cookies. They made a face and spit them out. + +"Yuck, these cookies are sour!" Anna said. + +"Mom, these cookies are bad!" Ben said. + +Mom tasted a cookie and frowned. She looked at the package and saw that it was expired. + +"Oh, I'm sorry, sweeties. I didn't check the date. These cookies are old and sour. Let me throw them away and get you some fresh ones," Mom said. + +She took the cookies and milk and threw them in the trash. She went back to the kitchen and got some new cookies and milk. She brought them back to the table and apologized to Anna and Ben. + +"Here you go, sweeties. These cookies are good and sweet. I'm sorry for the mistake," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben smiled and thanked Mom. They took a bite of their cookies and drank their milk. They liked them very much. + +"These cookies are yummy!" Anna said. + +"Mom, you are the best!" Ben said. + +They finished their snack and hugged Mom. They heard a knock on the door. It was the plumber. He came in and went to the bathroom. He fixed the sink and stopped the water. He said goodbye and left. + +Mom checked the bathroom and saw that it was dry and clean. She was happy that the sink was repaired. She thanked Anna and Ben for being patient and helpful. She said they could go back to playing with their toys. + +Anna and Ben ran to the living room and picked up their toys. They were happy that the sink was repaired and that they had good cookies and milk. They played together and had fun. They loved Mom very much. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play together. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. + +Mom and Dad give them a big box. It has a wrap with stars and ribbons. Sara and Tom stare at the box. They wonder what is inside. + +"Can we open it?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, of course. It is your present," Mom says. + +Sara and Tom tear the wrap. They see a big cake. It has candles and frosting. It looks delicious. + +"Wow, a cake!" Tom says. + +"It is for you. Happy birthday, Sara and Tom," Dad says. + +Sara and Tom blow the candles. They make a wish. They cut the cake. They share it with Mom and Dad. The cake is very yummy. They smile and hug. + +Sara and Tom have a great birthday. They are very thankful. They love their cake and their family. +Lila and Tom are friends who like to play in the garden. They see a big squash that is green and yellow. They want to pick it and eat it. + +"Can we have the squash?" Lila asks Tom. + +"I don't know. It is not ours. It belongs to the farmer." Tom says. + +"Maybe we can ask him. He is nice. He gives us apples sometimes." Lila says. + +They go to the farmer's house and knock on the door. The farmer opens it and smiles. + +"Hello, Lila and Tom. What can I do for you?" he says. + +"Hello, farmer. We want to discuss something with you." Lila says. + +"What is it?" the farmer says. + +"We saw a big squash in your garden. It looks yummy. Can we have it, please?" Tom says. + +The farmer laughs and says, "That is a fine squash, indeed. I grew it for the fair. But I have many more. You can have one, if you promise to share it and say thank you." + +"Thank you, farmer. We promise to share it and say thank you." Lila and Tom say. + +The farmer gives them a smaller squash that is also green and yellow. They thank him again and run back to the garden. They cut the squash and eat it. It is sweet and soft. They are happy and full. They share the squash with their other friends and say thank you. The farmer is happy too. He likes to see the children enjoy his squash. He hopes they will come back and visit him again. +Tim and Mia liked to play on the sand when the sun was bright. They made castles and holes and bridges with their buckets and spades. They did not see the water coming closer and closer. They were too busy having fun. + +"Look at my castle, Mia!" Tim said. "It has a big tower and a flag and a moat. It is the best castle ever!" + +"It is very nice, Tim," Mia said. "But my bridge is nicer. It goes over your moat and connects to my castle. It has flowers and stones and shells. It is the best bridge ever!" + +They smiled at each other and kept playing. They did not hear their mom calling them. They did not see the big wave behind them. They were too happy to notice. + +The wave was enormous. It was faster and stronger than the tide. It crashed on the sand and swept away Tim and Mia and their castles and bridges. They screamed and cried and tried to swim, but the water was too deep and too cold. They could not reach the shore. They could not see their mom. They were too scared to hope. + +Their mom saw the wave and ran to the water. She shouted their names and looked for them. She could not find them. She could only see the broken buckets and spades and the ruined sand. She fell on her knees and sobbed. She was too sad to move. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They see many things: flowers, bugs, birds, and rocks. But they want to see more. They want to see the hidden world. + +One day, they find a big box in the shed. They open it and see a tent. They take the tent and put it in the garden. They crawl inside the tent. It is dark and cozy. + +"Wow, this is like a new world!" Lila says. + +"Yes, a hidden world!" Ben says. + +They pretend they are explorers. They use a flashlight to look around. They see their toys, their books, and their blankets. They make up stories about them. They have fun. + +But then they hear a noise. It is Mom. She is calling them for lunch. + +"Come on, Lila and Ben, time to eat!" Mom says. + +They peek outside the tent. They see Mom smiling. They see the sun shining. They see the garden. + +"Can we come back to the hidden world later?" Lila asks. + +"Of course, you can. But now, let's go to the real world and have some food. You must be hungry!" Mom says. + +They nod and smile. They crawl out of the tent. They hold Mom's hand. They go to the house. They are happy. They love both worlds. +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a big tub of water and some toys. They like to soak the toys in the water and make them wet. + +"Look, I soaked my duck!" Mia says, holding up a yellow rubber duck. "It is very wet and squishy." + +"I want to soak my car!" Tom says, grabbing a red plastic car. He puts it in the water and splashes some on Mia. + +"Hey, don't splash me!" Mia says, feeling wet and cold. "That is not nice!" + +"Yes, it is!" Tom says, splashing more water on Mia. "It is fun!" + +Mia gets angry and grabs the car from Tom. She throws it out of the tub and onto the grass. + +"Give me back my car!" Tom says, running after the car. "That is mine!" + +They both reach the car at the same time and start to pull on it. They hear a loud crack and the car breaks in half. + +"Oh no!" Mia says, looking at the broken car. "We broke it!" + +Tom starts to cry. He loves his car and now it is ruined. + +Mia feels sorry for Tom. She remembers that her mom has a wise object in the house. It is a roll of tape that can fix things. + +"Mia, I have an idea!" Mia says, wiping her tears. "Let's go to the house and get the tape. Maybe we can fix the car." + +"Really?" Tom says, looking hopeful. "Do you think it will work?" + +"Let's try!" Mia says, holding Tom's hand. They run to the house and find the tape. They carefully stick the car back together. + +"Look, it is fixed!" Tom says, smiling. He hugs Mia and thanks her. + +"You're welcome!" Mia says, smiling back. "I'm sorry I threw your car." + +"I'm sorry I splashed you." Tom says. "Can we still be friends?" + +"Of course!" Mia says. "Let's go back to the tub and play nicely." + +They go back to the tub and soak their toys again. But this time, they share and don't splash each other. They have fun and learn to be kind. +Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks. They made a big castle with towers and walls and a gate. They were very happy with their castle. + +But Ben, who was older and bigger, was jealous. He wanted to play with the blocks too, but he did not want to share. He waited until Tom and Lily were not looking, and then he ran to their castle and kicked it. The blocks fell down and made a loud noise. + +"Hey, stop!" Tom shouted. "You disturbed our castle! That is not nice!" + +Lily started to cry. She was sad and angry. She liked her castle very much. She picked up a block and threw it at Ben. "Go away, Ben! You are mean!" + +Ben dodged the block and laughed. He thought it was fun to disturb Tom and Lily. He did not care if they were sad or angry. He wanted to kick their castle again. + +But then, Mom came in. She heard the noise and saw what Ben did. She was not happy. She scolded Ben and made him say sorry to Tom and Lily. She also made him help them rebuild their castle. Ben did not like that. He wished he had not disturbed their castle. He learned his lesson. +On Tuesday, Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings and the slide. But there was a big dog in the park. It was black and loud and had sharp teeth. + +"Mom, I'm scared of the dog," Lily said. "Can we go home?" + +Mom said, "Don't worry, Lily. The dog is on a leash. It can't hurt you. Just stay close to me and we'll be fine." + +Ben was not scared of the dog. He wanted to pet it. He thought it looked friendly and soft. He ran to the dog and said, "Hi, doggy. Can I touch you?" + +The dog did not like Ben. It growled and barked and bit Ben's hand. Ben screamed and cried. Mom ran to Ben and picked him up. She saw blood on his hand. She was angry and scared. + +"Bad dog! Bad dog!" Mom shouted. "Why did you bite my son? Where is your owner?" + +But the owner of the dog was not in the park. He had left the dog alone and went to the store. He did not care about the dog or the people in the park. He was a bad man. + +Mom took Ben to the car and drove to the hospital. Lily was crying too. She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I hope you feel better soon." + +Ben was hurt and sad. He wished he had listened to Mom and Lily. He wished he had not run to the dog. He learned a hard lesson. He never wanted to see the dog again. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy soldiers. They liked to pretend they were in a war and make loud noises. Lily had a big tank and Ben had a small jeep. Ben wanted to play with the tank, but Lily said no. + +"Give me the tank!" Ben demanded. "It is my turn!" + +"No, it is mine!" Lily shouted. "You have the jeep!" + +They started to fight and pull the tank. They did not see that their dog, Max, was watching them. Max liked to chew on toys. He saw the tank and thought it was a bone. He ran to the tank and bit it hard. The tank broke in two pieces. + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting. They looked at the tank and cried. It was their favorite toy and now it was broken. They were very sad and angry. + +"Look what you did!" Lily blamed Ben. "You broke the tank!" + +"No, you did!" Ben blamed Lily. "You did not share!" + +They did not notice that Max was sorry. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He wanted to make them happy again. + +"Stop it, Max!" Lily and Ben pushed him away. "You are a bad dog!" + +Max felt sad and ran away. He hid under the bed. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken tank and the crying children. She asked them what happened. + +They told her how they fought over the tank and how Max broke it. They said it was not their fault and that Max was a bad dog. + +Their mom shook her head. She said, "You are both wrong. You are the ones who are bad. You did not share, you did not listen, and you did not care. You made a war over a toy and you hurt your friend. Max did not mean to break the tank. He just wanted to play with you. He loves you and you should love him too. You should say sorry to him and to each other. You should learn to be kind and to share. That is the right thing to do." + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They realized their mom was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said sorry to Max and petted him. They thanked their mom and asked her to help them fix the tank. They learned their lesson and promised to be better. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pine tree with many green needles. Lily wanted to touch the pine tree, but Tom said no. + +"Pine tree is prickly. It can hurt you," Tom said. + +Lily did not listen. She ran to the pine tree and reached for a branch. She felt a sharp pain in her hand. She cried out loud. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily said. + +Tom ran to Lily and saw her hand. It had many red dots and a little blood. He felt sorry for Lily. He took her hand and blew on it. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I should have stopped you," Tom said. + +Lily looked at Tom and saw his kind eyes. She felt a little better. She smiled and hugged Tom. + +"It's okay, Tom. You are a good friend. I should have listened to you," Lily said. + +They walked to the bench where their mom was sitting. She saw their hand and asked what happened. They told her about the pine tree. She took out a band-aid and put it on Lily's hand. She kissed them both and said they were brave. + +"Next time, be careful with the pine tree, okay?" mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with the swings instead. They had fun and forgot about the pine tree. They changed their game and were happy. +Lila was a princess who liked to play with her jewels. She had many jewels of different colors and shapes. She liked to put them on her dress, her hair, and her shoes. She liked to pretend she was going to a ball or a party. + +One day, she found a new jewel in her toy box. It was shiny and round and blue. It looked like a drop of water. Lila was very happy. She wanted to show it to her mom and dad. She ran to the living room, where they were sitting on the couch. + +"Look, look, I found a new jewel!" she said, holding it up. "It is so pretty and sparkly!" + +Her mom and dad smiled and praised her. They asked her where she found it. Lila told them it was in her toy box. She said she did not know who put it there. Maybe it was a fairy or a gift from a friend. + +Her mom and dad looked at each other. They knew who put it there. It was Lila's grandma, who came to visit yesterday. She wanted to surprise Lila with a special present. She knew Lila loved jewels. She gave her a blue glass bead that looked like a jewel. + +They decided not to tell Lila the truth. They wanted her to enjoy her new jewel and use her imagination. They hugged her and told her to seat on the couch with them. They said they wanted to hear more about her jewels and her adventures. Lila was very happy. She sat on the couch and told them stories. She felt like a real princess. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big balloon tied to a bench. It was red and shiny and had a funny face on it. Lily wanted to touch it, but Max said no. + +"That is not our balloon. It belongs to someone else. We should not take it," Max said. + +"But it is so pretty. I just want to see it," Lily said. She ran to the bench and grabbed the balloon. Max followed her and tried to stop her. + +"Let go of the balloon, Lily. You are being bad. You are stealing," Max said. + +"No, I am not. I just want to play with it. It is an incredible object. Look how it floats in the air," Lily said. She pulled the balloon harder and harder, until she heard a snap. The string broke and the balloon flew away. + +Lily and Max watched the balloon disappear in the sky. They felt sad and scared. They had lost the balloon and they had done something wrong. They heard a voice behind them. + +"Hey, where is my balloon? Who took my balloon?" It was a big boy who looked angry. He had been sitting on the bench and had left his balloon there. He saw Lily and Max and knew they had taken it. + +He walked towards them and shouted. "You are bad kids. You stole my balloon. You owe me a new balloon. Give me your toys or I will hit you." + +Lily and Max had no toys. They had nothing to give him. They tried to run away, but he was faster. He caught them and hit them. He made them cry and hurt. He was a bully and he did not care. + +Lily and Max wished they had never touched the balloon. They wished they had listened to Max. They learned a hard lesson. They had released the balloon, but they had also released trouble. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play outside in the yard. One day, they see their dad with a big grill. The grill is black and shiny. It has a lid and a handle. + +"Dad, what are you doing?" Tim asks. + +"I'm going to make some burgers for lunch. Do you want to help me?" Dad says. + +"Yes, please!" Tim and Sam say. + +Dad opens the lid of the grill. He puts some charcoal and paper inside. He lights a match and throws it in. The grill makes a whoosh sound and smoke comes out. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Sam says. + +"Be careful, boys. The grill is very hot. Don't touch it, okay?" Dad says. + +"Okay, Dad. We won't touch it." Tim and Sam say. + +They watch as Dad puts some patties on the grill. They hear them sizzle and smell them cook. They look at each other and smile. They are hungry and excited. + +"Can we have cheese on our burgers, Dad?" Tim asks. + +"Sure, why not? Cheese makes everything better." Dad says. + +He opens the fridge and takes out some cheese slices. He puts them on the burgers. They melt and drip. + +"Mmm, that looks yummy!" Sam says. + +"Almost done, boys. Get some plates and ketchup. We'll eat outside." Dad says. + +Tim and Sam run to the kitchen. They get some plates and ketchup. They bring them to the table in the yard. Dad follows them with the grill. He opens the lid and takes out the burgers. He puts them on the plates. + +"Here you go, boys. Enjoy your lunch." Dad says. + +"Thank you, Dad. You're the best!" Tim and Sam say. + +They take a big bite of their burgers. They are juicy and cheesy and delicious. They look at Dad and give him a thumbs up. Dad smiles and joins them. They eat and talk and laugh. They are happy and full. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play pretend. Today they want to prepare for a big adventure. They go to the backyard and find some sticks, stones and leaves. + +"Look, this is our map of the world!" Lily says, holding a leaf with some lines on it. "We have to find the treasure here, in the crazy land!" + +"What is the crazy land?" Tom asks, curious. + +"It is a place where everything is different and fun. There are animals that can talk, and trees that can dance, and stars that can sing!" Lily explains, using her imagination. + +"Wow, that sounds amazing! How do we get there?" Tom wonders. + +"We have to follow the map, and use our magic words. Come on, let's go!" Lily says, grabbing Tom's hand. They run around the backyard, pretending to cross rivers, mountains and forests. They use their sticks as swords, and their stones as coins. They say their magic words: "Abracadabra, alakazam, let us go to the crazy land!" + +They have a lot of fun, and laugh a lot. They pretend to find the treasure, and share it with their friends. They are happy and brave. They love to prepare for adventures. They love to play pretend. They love their world. +Tom likes to read books. He has many books in his room. He reads books about animals, cars, and pirates. He reads books every night before he sleeps. + +One night, Tom wants to read a new book. He sees a big book on the shelf. The book has a picture of a hammer and a nail on the cover. Tom thinks the book is about building things. He likes to build things with his blocks. He takes the book and goes to his bed. + +He opens the book and tries to read the words. But the words are hard. He does not know the words. He asks his mom to help him. He says, "Mom, can you read this book to me? I do not know the words." + +His mom comes to his room and looks at the book. She smiles and says, "Tom, this book is not for you. This book is for daddy. He reads this book to learn how to fix things in the house. This book has words like screwdriver, wrench, and drill. You do not need to know these words yet. You are too little." + +Tom feels sad. He wants to read the book. He says, "But mom, I want to read the book. I want to learn how to fix things like daddy. Please, mom, read the book to me." + +His mom hugs him and says, "Tom, I love you. You are a smart boy. You will learn how to fix things when you grow up. But now, you need to sleep. You are sleepy. You have many other books to read. How about we read a book about animals? You like animals, right?" + +Tom nods and says, "Yes, mom, I like animals. Can we read the book about the lion and the mouse? That is my favorite book." + +His mom says, "Sure, Tom, we can read that book. That is a good book. It is about being kind and brave. Come on, let's read the book together." + +Tom and his mom read the book about the lion and the mouse. Tom likes the story. He likes how the mouse helps the lion. He says, "Mom, I want to be like the mouse. I want to help others." + +His mom says, "That is a good thing to want, Tom. You are a good boy. I am proud of you." + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +His mom says, "I love you too, Tom. Good night, sweetie." + +She kisses him and tucks him in. She turns off the light and leaves the room. Tom closes his eyes and falls asleep. He dreams of animals and books and nails. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tap in the park. The tap is shiny and has many colors. + +"Wow, look at that tap!" Anna says. "It is so pretty. Maybe it is a magic tap." + +"Maybe it is a rich tap," Ben says. "Maybe it has money inside. Let's go and see." + +They run to the tap. They touch it and try to turn it. But nothing happens. The tap is stuck. + +"Maybe we need a key," Anna says. "Or a code. Or a wish." + +"Or maybe we need to leave it alone," a voice says. It is a man. He is wearing a uniform and a hat. He is the park keeper. He looks angry. + +"Hey, you two. What are you doing with that tap? That is not a toy. That is a special tap. It is for the flowers. It helps them grow and be happy. You are not allowed to touch it. Go away." + +Anna and Ben are scared. They do not want to make the man mad. They do not want to hurt the flowers. They say sorry and run away. + +But they do not go far. They hide behind a tree. They watch the tap. They still think it is a magic tap. They still want to see what it can do. + +"Maybe the man is lying," Ben says. "Maybe he wants to keep the tap for himself. Maybe he is not a park keeper. Maybe he is a bad guy." + +"Maybe you are right," Anna says. "Maybe we should protect the tap. Maybe we should help the flowers. Maybe we should be the heroes." + +They nod. They make a plan. They wait for the man to go away. Then they sneak back to the tap. They have a stick and a stone. They use them to hit the tap. They hope to make it work. They hope to see some magic. + +But they do not see any magic. They only see water. Lots of water. The tap breaks. The water sprays everywhere. It makes a loud noise. It makes a big mess. It makes the flowers wet. It makes the man come back. + +"Hey, you two. What have you done? You have broken the tap. You have wasted the water. You have ruined the flowers. You are in big trouble. Come here." + +Anna and Ben are not scared anymore. They are sorry. They are sad. They did not mean to break the tap. They did not mean to waste the water. They did not mean to ruin the flowers. They only meant to protect the tap. They only meant to help the flowers. They only meant to be the heroes. + +They say sorry again. They cry. They hug. They hope the man will forgive them. They hope the tap will be fixed. They hope the flowers will be happy. They hope they will still be friends. +Lily and Tom were playing near the river. They liked to watch the water and the fish and the ducks. Sometimes they threw stones or sticks into the river and saw them splash. + +"Look, Tom, I found a big spoon!" Lily said, holding up a wooden spoon she had found in the grass. "Let's stir the river with it!" + +Tom laughed and took the spoon from Lily. He ran to the edge of the water and started to move the spoon around. He made big waves and small waves and circles and lines. + +"Wow, you are good at stirring, Tom!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "Can I try too?" + +"Sure, Lily, here you go!" Tom said, handing her the spoon. "But be careful, don't fall in!" + +Lily nodded and took the spoon. She was very excited to stir the river. She bent down and reached out with the spoon. But the spoon was too big and heavy for her. She lost her balance and slipped into the water. + +"Help, help, I'm wet!" Lily cried, splashing and coughing. "Tom, help me!" + +Tom was scared, but he was also brave. He saw a long and flexible branch near him. He grabbed it and stretched it out to Lily. + +"Grab the branch, Lily, grab the branch!" Tom shouted. "I'll pull you out!" + +Lily saw the branch and grabbed it with both hands. Tom pulled hard and Lily came out of the water. She was wet and cold and shivering. + +"Thank you, Tom, thank you!" Lily said, hugging Tom. "You saved me!" + +Tom hugged her back and smiled. "You're welcome, Lily, you're welcome!" he said. "But next time, let's not stir the river, okay?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. "Okay, Tom, okay!" she said. "Let's go home and get dry and warm!" + +They held hands and walked away from the river. They were still friends and they still liked to play. But they learned to be more careful and not to stir the river. +Tom and Anna were going to the park with their mom. They put on their hats and coats and walked to the bus stop. Tom had a red hat and Anna had a blue hat. They liked their hats very much. + +At the park, they saw a man playing a guitar. He sang funny songs and made funny faces. Tom and Anna laughed and clapped their hands. They liked the man very much. The man saw them and smiled. He said, "Hello, little ones. Do you like my songs?" + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Anna said. "You are very good!" + +"Thank you, thank you!" the man said. "Do you want to hear one more song?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Anna said. + +The man played one more song. It was about a hungry bear who wanted to eat honey. Tom and Anna liked the song very much. They sang along and clapped their hands. When the song was over, they applauded loudly. They liked the man very much. + +The man bowed and said, "Thank you, thank you! You are very kind! Do you want a sticker?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Anna said. + +The man gave them each a sticker. Tom got a star and Anna got a heart. They put them on their hats and smiled. They liked their stickers very much. + +"Bye, bye, little ones!" the man said. "Have a nice day!" + +"Bye, bye, mister!" Tom and Anna said. "Thank you for the songs and the stickers!" + +They waved goodbye and ran to their mom. They showed her their stickers and told her about the man. Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "You are very lucky! You met a nice man who made you happy!" + +Tom and Anna nodded and hugged her back. They said, "We love you, mom!" + +They were very happy. They liked their hats, their stickers, and their mom very much. +Lila and Tom were poor. They lived in a small hut with their mother. Their father was gone. He went to fight in a war. Lila and Tom missed him very much. + +One day, a big storm came. The wind blew hard and the rain poured down. The hut was old and weak. The roof had holes and the walls had cracks. Lila and Tom were scared. They hugged their mother. + +"Mom, what will we do?" Lila asked. + +"Shh, don't worry, my loves. I will provide for you. I will keep you safe and warm. I will be your shield." Mom said. + +She wrapped a blanket around them and held them close. She sang a song that their father used to sing. It was a song about hope and love. + +The storm raged on. The hut shook and creaked. But Lila and Tom felt calm. They knew their mother was strong and brave. They knew their father was watching over them. They knew they had each other. They knew they were not alone. +Lisa and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse that their grandma gave them. The dollhouse had many rooms, furniture, and dolls. It was a luxury toy that made them happy. + +One day, their mom said they had to go to the dentist. Lisa and Tom did not like the dentist. They were scared of the big chair, the loud drill, and the sharp needle. They did not want to go. They begged their mom to let them stay home and play with their dollhouse. + +"Please, mom, please!" they said. "We don't want to go to the dentist. We want to play with our dollhouse. It is so much fun!" + +"Sorry, kids, you have to go," their mom said. "The dentist is good for your teeth. You don't want to have cavities, do you? And don't worry, it won't hurt. The dentist is very nice and gentle. He will give you a sticker and a toy when you are done." + +Lisa and Tom still did not want to go. They had an idea. They decided to hide their dollhouse so their mom would not find it. They thought if they hid their dollhouse, their mom would let them stay home and play with it. They looked for a good place to hide their dollhouse. They saw a big box in the garage. They thought it was empty. They carried their dollhouse to the garage and put it in the box. They wrapped the box with some thin paper that they found. They wrote "Do not open" on the paper. They thought their mom would not open the box. + +They ran back to the house and told their mom they were ready to go to the dentist. Their mom was surprised. She thought they had changed their mind. She was happy. She took them to the car and drove to the dentist. + +They did not know that the box in the garage was not empty. It had some old clothes that their mom wanted to give away. She had called a charity to pick up the box. While they were at the dentist, a truck came to the garage and took the box away. Lisa and Tom did not know that their dollhouse was gone. + +When they came back from the dentist, they ran to the garage to get their dollhouse. They looked for the box, but they did not see it. They saw a note on the wall. It said "Thank you for your donation". They did not know what it meant. They asked their mom where their dollhouse was. + +"Your dollhouse?" their mom said. "What do you mean? Where did you put it?" + +They told their mom they had put it in the box and wrapped it with paper. They told their mom they had hidden it so they could play with it later. + +Their mom was shocked. She realized what had happened. She felt sorry for them. She hugged them and said "Oh, no, kids, I'm so sorry. That box was not empty. It had some old clothes that I gave away. The charity took the box away. Your dollhouse is gone. I didn't know you had put it in there. Why did you do that?" + +Lisa and Tom started to cry. They felt sad and angry. They had lost their favorite toy. They had made a big mistake. They wished they had not hidden their dollhouse. They wished they had listened to their mom and gone to the dentist without a fuss. They learned a hard lesson. They never hid their toys again. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big red truck in the street. It makes a loud noise. "Vroom, vroom!" Tom says. He wants to see the truck up close. + +"Tom, wait!" Sara says. She grabs his hand. "We have to follow mom. She says we can't go to the street. It is not safe." + +But Tom pulls his hand away. He runs to the truck. He does not listen to Sara or mom. He is too curious. He wants to touch the truck. + +Sara is scared. She follows Tom. She tries to catch him. She shouts his name. "Tom, Tom, come back!" + +Mom sees Tom and Sara. She is very worried. She follows them too. She runs fast. She hopes they are okay. + +The truck driver sees Tom and Sara. He is surprised. He stops the truck. He honks the horn. It is very loud. "Beep, beep!" + +Tom and Sara are startled. They stop running. They cover their ears. They look at the truck driver. He is angry. He gets out of the truck. He walks to them. He says, "What are you doing here? You are not supposed to be in the street. You could get hurt. Where is your mom?" + +Mom arrives. She is out of breath. She hugs Tom and Sara. She says, "I'm sorry, sir. They are my children. They ran away from me. They wanted to see your truck. They didn't mean to bother you." + +The truck driver sighs. He says, "It's okay, ma'am. I'm glad they are safe. But they have to be careful. The street is dangerous. They have to follow you and hold your hand. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sara nod. They say, "Yes, sir. We understand. We are sorry. We won't do it again." + +Mom says, "Thank you, sir. You are very kind. Come on, kids. Let's go back to the park. And don't let go of my hand." + +Tom and Sara hold mom's hand. They follow her to the park. They learned their lesson. They don't want to hear the loud truck again. They want to play with mom. They are happy. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch videos. But sometimes they are naughty and do not listen to Mom. + +One day, Mom tells them to clean their room. She says they can watch a video after they finish. Sara and Tom say yes, but they do not want to clean. They want to watch the video now. + +They sneak into the living room and turn on the TV. They find the video they like and put it in. They sit on the couch and watch. They laugh and clap. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She is angry. She says, "Sara and Tom, you are very naughty! You did not clean your room. You lied to me. You cannot watch the video now. Turn it off and go to your room." + +Sara and Tom are sad and scared. They say sorry to Mom. They turn off the TV and get up from the couch. But Tom is in a hurry and does not look. He trips on the cord and falls. He hurts his knee and cries. + +Mom sees Tom fall and feels sorry. She says, "Oh, Tom, are you okay? Let me see your knee." She hugs Tom and kisses his knee. She says, "It is okay. It is just a scratch. But you still have to clean your room. And next time, listen to me, okay?" + +Sara and Tom nod and say okay. They follow Mom to their room. They clean their toys and make their bed. They say sorry to Mom again. Mom says, "I forgive you. I love you. You can watch the video later, after dinner. But only if you are good." + +Sara and Tom smile and hug Mom. They say, "We love you too, Mom. We will be good." They are happy and proud. They learned their lesson. They do not want to be naughty again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. They have a big box of toys and books in their room. They share the box, but sometimes they want the same toy or book. + +One day, Lily and Ben want to play with the same book. It is a book about animals. They both love animals. They pull the book from each other. They make loud noises. + +"Mine!" Lily says. + +"No, mine!" Ben says. + +Their mom hears them. She comes to their room. She is not happy. She looks at them with a serious face. + +"Stop, Lily and Ben!" she says. "You are making too much noise. And you are not sharing. Sharing is good. Sharing is kind. Can you share the book?" + +Lily and Ben look at their mom. They feel sorry. They know she is right. They nod their heads. + +"OK, mom," they say. + +Mom smiles. She is happy. She gives them a hug. + +"Good, Lily and Ben," she says. "Now, I have a job for you. Can you help me clean the box? We can sort the toys and books. We can make some space. We can donate some toys and books to other kids who need them. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Ben look at the box. It is very messy. They have too many toys and books. They think of other kids who have less. They want to help them. They nod their heads again. + +"OK, mom," they say. + +Mom smiles again. She is proud. She gives them another hug. + +"Thank you, Lily and Ben," she says. "You are very patient and helpful. I love you very much. Let's start the job. It will be fun." +Lila and Sam are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have many toys, but their favorite is the train set. The train set is modern. It has lights, sounds and a remote control. + +One day, they are playing with the train set when they hear their mom call them. "Lila, Sam, it's time for lunch!" Mom says. They run to the kitchen and sit at the table. Mom gives them sandwiches, apple slices and milk. They say thank you and start to eat. + +Lila notices something on her sandwich. It is a green leaf. She does not like green leaves. She makes a face and pushes her sandwich away. "What's wrong, Lila?" Mom asks. "I don't want this. It has green leaves," Lila says. "That's lettuce, Lila. It's good for you. It makes your sandwich crunchy and fresh," Mom says. "But I don't like it. It's yucky," Lila says. + +Sam looks at his sandwich. He also has lettuce on his sandwich. But he does not mind. He likes lettuce. He thinks it is tasty and fun. He takes a big bite and smiles. "I like lettuce, Mom. It's yummy," Sam says. "That's good, Sam. I'm glad you like it," Mom says. + +Lila feels sad. She does not want to eat her sandwich. She wants to play with the train set. She looks at Sam. He is eating his sandwich and his apple. He is happy. She wants to be happy too. She has an idea. She takes a napkin from the table. She carefully peels off the lettuce from her sandwich. She wraps the lettuce in the napkin. She hides the napkin under her plate. She thinks Mom will not see it. She eats her sandwich and her apple. She drinks her milk. She says she is done. + +Mom comes to the table. She takes their plates and cups. She sees the napkin under Lila's plate. She picks it up. She sees the lettuce inside. She knows what Lila did. She is not happy. She looks at Lila. "Lila, did you eat your lettuce?" Mom asks. Lila feels scared. She knows she is in trouble. She shakes her head. "No, Mom. I don't like lettuce," Lila says. "Lila, that's not nice. You should not hide your food. You should try new things. They might be good for you. And you should not waste food. Some people don't have enough food to eat," Mom says. "I'm sorry, Mom. I won't do it again," Lila says. + +Mom sighs. She is not very angry. She knows Lila is young. She knows Lila will learn. She gives Lila a hug. She says she loves her. She says she can play with the train set after she takes a nap. Lila nods. She says she loves Mom too. She says she will take a nap. She and Sam go to their room. They lie on their beds. They close their eyes. They dream of trains. +Sara likes to look at the frame on the wall. It has a picture of her and her mom and dad. They are smiling and hugging.

The glass cracks and the picture falls out. Sara feels scared and sad. She lost the frame. + +She hears her mom and dad coming. They hear the noise too. They go to Sara's room. They see the broken frame and the picture. They are not happy. They are angry and sad. They ask Sara why she did that. Sara says she is sorry. She says she wanted to play with the frame. + +Her mom and dad hug her. They say they love her. But they also say she was wrong. They say the frame was not a toy. They say the picture was special. They say she has to be careful with things. They say she has to learn from her mistake. + +They help Sara clean up the mess. They put the picture in a new frame. They hang it on the wall again. Sara says she will not touch the frame again. She says she will play with her toys instead. She says she loves her mom and dad. They say they love her too. They kiss her goodnight. Sara feels sorry and happy. She sleeps well. +Lila was a wealthy girl who had many toys and clothes. She liked to comb her long hair and look at herself in the mirror. She thought she was very pretty and smart, and she did not want to play with other children who were not like her. + +One day, she went to the park with her nanny. She saw a boy who was playing with a ball. He had short hair and wore old clothes. He looked happy and friendly. Lila wanted to take his ball and play with it by herself. + +She walked up to him and said, "What is your name?" + +The boy smiled and said, "My name is Ben. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lila snorted and said, "No, I don't. You are not wealthy like me. You are poor and ugly. Give me your ball. It is mine now." + +She grabbed the ball from his hands and ran away. Ben was sad and angry. He shouted, "That is not nice! That is not fair! Give me back my ball!" + +Lila ignored him and kept running. She did not see a big rock on the ground. She tripped over it and fell down. She hurt her knee and dropped the ball. She started to cry. + +Ben saw what happened and ran to her. He picked up the ball and said, "Are you okay? Do you need help?" + +Lila was surprised and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry. I was mean to you. I should not have taken your ball. You are kind and good. Can you forgive me?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I can. We all make mistakes. But we can learn from them. It does not matter if you are wealthy or poor, pretty or ugly. What matters is how you treat others. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lila smiled and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you for being my friend. Can I comb your hair?" + +Ben laughed and said, "Sure, why not? But be gentle. It might be a bit messy." + +They sat down on the grass and shared the ball and the comb. They played and talked and had fun. They learned that being wealthy is not as important as being kind. +Leo was a lion who liked to roar. He roared when he was happy, he roared when he was angry, he roared when he was bored. He roared so much that the other animals in the jungle were afraid of him. They ran away when they heard him roar, and they hid in their homes. + +One day, Leo was thirsty. He walked to the river to drink some water. He saw a big, shiny fish swimming in the water. He thought the fish looked tasty, so he roared at it. The fish did not run away. It looked at Leo and said, "Why are you roaring at me? I am not afraid of you." + +Leo was surprised. He had never met an animal that was not afraid of his roar. He roared louder, hoping to scare the fish. The fish did not move. It said, "You can roar all you want, but you cannot catch me. I am in the water, and you are on the land. You are a lion, and I am a fish. We are different." + +Leo was curious. He had never met an animal that was so unusual. He asked the fish, "What is your name? Where do you come from? How do you live in the water?" + +The fish smiled. It said, "My name is Finn. I come from the sea. I live in the water by breathing through my gills and swimming with my fins. I can show you, if you want." + +Leo wanted to see. He followed Finn into the water. He felt the water on his fur and his paws. He tried to breathe, but he could not. He tried to swim, but he could not. He realized he had made a mistake. He was a lion, and he did not belong in the water. He wanted to go back to the land, but he could not. He was too deep, and he was too weak. He looked at Finn, and he saw a smirk. He understood that Finn had tricked him. He wanted to roar, but he could not. He was silent. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box of toys in their room, and they shared them nicely. But they had one toy that they both wanted more than any other. It was a soft bear with a red top and a blue scarf. They called him Bear. + +One day, Lily and Ben had a fight over Bear. Lily wanted to cuddle him and read a book, but Ben wanted to take him outside and play in the snow. They pulled and tugged on Bear, and shouted at each other. They made Bear very sad. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over Bear, and she was not happy. She took Bear away from them and said, "You are not being kind to each other or to Bear. He is not a toy to fight over. He is a friend to comfort and love. You need to say sorry to each other and to Bear, and then you can take turns playing with him." + +Lily and Ben felt bad for making Mom and Bear upset. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They also said sorry to Bear and stroked his fur. They decided to play together with Bear, and take turns doing what they wanted. They took Bear outside and made a snowman with him. Then they brought him inside and read him a story. They gave him some tasty cookies and milk, and tucked him in bed. They kissed him goodnight and said, "We love you, Bear. You are the best toy ever." Bear smiled and felt happy. He loved Lily and Ben too. +Lily was a furry cat who liked to wander around the house. She was curious and playful, but sometimes she got into trouble. One day, she saw a shiny mixer on the kitchen counter. She jumped up and tried to touch it with her paw. + +"Meow, what is this?" she asked. + +"It's a mixer, Lily. It's for making cakes and cookies. Don't touch it, it's dangerous!" said Mom, who was baking in the oven. + +But Lily did not listen. She wanted to see what the mixer could do. She pushed the button and the mixer started to spin. Lily was scared and tried to run away, but her tail got caught in the mixer. She cried out loud. + +"Help, help, it hurts!" she said. + +Mom heard Lily and ran to the kitchen. She turned off the mixer and freed Lily's tail. She hugged Lily and checked if she was okay. + +"Lily, are you alright? You have a big boo-boo on your tail. You need to go to the vet," she said. + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She knew she had been naughty and disobeyed Mom. She apologized to Mom and promised to be more careful. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I won't touch the mixer again. I love you," she said. + +Mom smiled and kissed Lily. She took her to the vet and got her a bandage. She told Lily that she loved her too, but she also had to learn from her mistake. + +"Lily, I'm glad you're okay. But you have to remember that some things are not for cats. They can hurt you or make a mess. You have to listen to me when I tell you not to touch them. Do you understand?" she said. + +Lily nodded and cuddled with Mom. She understood that Mom was right. She learned that wandering can be fun, but also dangerous. She decided to be more obedient and respectful. She also learned that mixers are not toys, but tools. She hoped that Mom would still make her some cookies. +Sara and Tom are playing in the garden. They see a big flower with many colors. Sara wants to cut the flower and take it home. She runs to the house and gets scissors. + +"Look, Tom, I have scissors. I can cut the flower," Sara says. + +"No, Sara, you can't. The flower is not yours. It belongs to the lady next door. She will be sad if you cut her flower," Tom says. + +"But I want the flower. It is so pretty. And I am brave. I can go and cut it fast," Sara says. + +She runs to the fence and tries to reach the flower. But the fence is too high and the scissors are too heavy. She falls down and hurts her knee. She starts to cry. + +Tom runs to Sara and helps her up. He sees blood on her knee and on the scissors. He is scared. + +"Sara, you are hurt. And the scissors are sharp. You could have cut yourself more. You are not brave. You are silly. Come, I will take you to mom. She will make you feel better," Tom says. + +He takes Sara's hand and the scissors and goes to the house. He tells mom what happened. Mom is angry and sad. She cleans Sara's knee and puts a band-aid on it. She takes the scissors and puts them away. + +"Sara, you should never play with scissors. They are not toys. They are dangerous. And you should never cut flowers that are not yours. They are not for you. They are for the lady next door. She loves her flowers. She works hard to make them grow. You should say sorry to her and to Tom. And you should be more careful and kind," mom says. + +Sara feels bad. She knows she did wrong. She says sorry to mom and to Tom. She says sorry to the lady next door and gives her a hug. The lady next door is nice. She forgives Sara and gives her a cookie. She shows Sara and Tom her flowers and tells them their names. Sara and Tom listen and learn. They promise to never cut the flowers again. They say thank you and goodbye. They go back to the garden and play with their ball. They are happy and safe. +Sara and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and games. But their favorite thing to do is to build a fort with cushions and blankets. + +One day, they are eager to make a big fort. They take all the cushions from the sofa and the chairs and the bed. They pile them up in a corner of the room. They cover them with blankets and sheets. They make a door and a window and a roof. + +They crawl inside the fort and pretend they are in a castle. They have fun and laugh and tell stories. They invite their teddy bears and dolls to join them. They say, "You are welcome to our fort. We include you in our game. You are our friends." + +But then they hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She says, "Sara and Ben, it is time for lunch. Come out of the fort, please." + +They say, "But mom, we are having fun. We don't want to leave our fort. Can we eat in the fort?" + +Mom says, "No, you have to eat at the table. And you have to put back the cushions where they belong. You can play in the fort later, after lunch." + +Sara and Ben are sad. They love their fort. They don't want to take it apart. But they are also hungry. They decide to obey their mom. They say goodbye to their teddy bears and dolls. They say, "We will come back soon. Don't worry. We will include you in our game again." + +They crawl out of the fort and follow their mom to the kitchen. They hope their fort will still be there when they finish lunch. They think about what else they can do in their fort. They are eager to play some more. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Rex. Rex is big and furry and likes to run and bark. + +One day, Ben and Mia go to the park with Rex and their mom. They bring a ball and a lead for Rex. Ben throws the ball and Rex runs after it. Mia holds the lead and waits for Rex to come back. + +But Rex sees a squirrel and chases it. He pulls the lead hard and Mia falls down. She cries and holds her knee. It hurts a lot. She feels pain. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Mia says. "Rex, bad dog! You made me fall!" + +Ben runs to Mia and helps her up. He sees blood on her knee. He is scared and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Ben says. "Are you okay?" + +Mia shakes her head. She is angry and sad. + +"No, I'm not okay," Mia says. "My knee is bleeding and it hurts. I want to go home." + +Mom hears Mia and Ben and comes to them. She sees Mia's knee and hugs her. + +"Oh, Mia, I'm sorry," Mom says. "Let me see your knee. We'll clean it and put a band-aid on it. It will be better soon." + +Mom takes Mia to a bench and gets a wet wipe and a band-aid from her bag. She cleans Mia's knee and puts the band-aid on it. She kisses Mia's cheek and smiles. + +"There, all done," Mom says. "How do you feel now?" + +Mia looks at her knee and sees the band-aid. It has a picture of a unicorn on it. She likes unicorns. She feels a little better. + +"I feel a little better," Mia says. "But it still hurts." + +Mom nods and hugs Mia again. + +"I know, sweetie," Mom says. "But it will heal soon. You're very brave." + +Ben comes to Mia and gives her the ball. He smiles and says sorry again. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Ben says. "Can we still play?" + +Mia looks at Ben and sees that he is sorry. She loves her brother. She smiles and says yes. + +"Yes, we can still play," Mia says. "But you hold the lead this time. And don't let Rex chase squirrels." + +Ben nods and takes the lead. He holds it tight and says okay. + +"Okay, Mia," Ben says. "I'll hold the lead. And I'll watch Rex. Come on, Rex. Let's play." + +Rex barks and wags his tail. He likes to play. He follows Ben and Mia to the grass. They throw the ball and Rex runs after it. They have fun. + +Mom watches them and smiles. She is happy. She loves her twins and her dog. They are a family. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the kitchen. They had a big box of pretend food and dishes. They liked to make pretend soup and cake and pizza. They were very creative. + +One day, they decided to make pretend soup with water and salt. Lily poured some water into a pot and said, "This is our soup. We need to add some salt to make it tasty." She took a spoon and scooped some salt from a jar. + +Ben watched her and said, "No, no, no. That is too much salt. The soup will be too salty. We need to add some other things, like carrots and potatoes and beans." He took some pretend food from the box and put them in the pot. + +Lily and Ben started to disagree. Lily said, "I like salt. Salt is good. You are wrong." Ben said, "I don't like salt. Salt is bad. You are wrong." They both got angry and pulled the pot from each other. + +The pot fell on the floor and the water and salt and pretend food spilled everywhere. Lily and Ben looked at the mess and felt sad. They had ruined their soup and their game. They both said, "Sorry" and hugged each other. They decided to clean up the mess and start over. They agreed to share their ideas and make a new soup together. They were still friends and still creative. +Lily loved pasta. She liked to eat it with cheese and sauce and peas. She always asked her mom to make pasta for dinner. One day, her mom said, "Lily, we have no pasta left. We have to go to the store and buy some more." + +Lily was sad. She did not want to go to the store. She wanted to stay home and play with her toys. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to go. I want pasta now." + +Her mom said, "Lily, don't be silly. We have to go to the store. It will be quick and fun. Maybe we can buy some ice cream too." + +Lily did not listen. She threw a tantrum. She kicked and screamed and cried. She said, "No, no, no! I hate the store! I hate ice cream! I only want pasta!" + +Her mom was angry. She said, "Lily, stop it. You are being very naughty. If you don't stop, you will have no pasta and no ice cream and no toys." + +Lily did not stop. She cried louder and louder. She made a big mess. She knocked over her toys and her books and her crayons. + +Her mom said, "That's it. You are going to your room. No pasta, no ice cream, no toys for you. Maybe you will learn to behave better." + +She picked up Lily and carried her to her room. She closed the door and left her alone. + +Lily was very sorry. She realized she had been very bad. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had gone to the store. She wished she had pasta and ice cream and toys. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I love you. Please come back." + +But her mom did not come back. She was too busy cleaning up the mess. Lily cried and cried. She had no pasta, no ice cream, no toys, and no mom. She had nothing but her tears. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many fruits. The fruits are yellow and round. They are called palms. + +"Look, Tom, palms! Let's get some!" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, but how? The tree is very high," Tom says. + +Lily has an idea. She sees a big rock near the tree. She says, "We can climb on the rock and reach the palms." + +Tom nods. He follows Lily to the rock. They climb on it and stretch their arms. They can touch the palms. They are happy. + +They pull the palms and eat them. They are sweet and juicy. They smile and say, "Yum, yum, yum!" + +But then, they hear a loud roar. They look around and see a big lion. The lion is angry. He says, "Who took my palms? They are mine!" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They drop the palms and run away. They say, "Sorry, sorry, sorry!" + +They run to their mommies and daddies. They hug them and tell them what happened. Their mommies and daddies are glad they are safe. They say, "You should not take things that are not yours. That is bad. You should ask first. That is good." + +Lily and Tom nod. They say, "We are sorry. We learned our lesson. We will not do it again." + +They say goodbye to the lion and the tree. They say, "Thank you for the palms. They were very good. But we will not take them again without asking. We hope you are not mad." + +The lion and the tree are not mad. They say, "You are welcome. We are glad you are sorry. We forgive you. You can come back and play in the park. But be careful and respectful." + +Lily and Tom are happy. They say, "Thank you. We will be careful and respectful. We are happy to be your friends." + +The end. +Lily was a thoughtful girl who liked to make gifts for her friends. She used paper, crayons, stickers and glue to make cards and pictures. She always wrote nice words on them, like "I love you" and "You are my best friend". + +One day, she made a gift for her friend Ben, who was sick at home. She drew a big sun and a rainbow on a card, and wrote "Get well soon, Ben". She put the card in an envelope and wrote his name on it. She was very proud of her gift. + +She asked her mom to take her to Ben's house, so she could give him the gift. Her mom said yes, and they got in the car. Lily held the envelope in her hand, and smiled. + +When they arrived at Ben's house, Lily ran to the door and rang the bell. Ben's mom opened the door, and smiled when she saw Lily. + +"Hello, Lily, what a nice surprise! Ben is in his room, he will be happy to see you. Come in, come in." + +Lily followed Ben's mom to his room. She saw Ben lying on his bed, looking sad. He had a bandage on his arm and a thermometer in his mouth. He looked up when he heard Lily. + +"Hi, Lily, what are you doing here?" he asked. + +Lily walked up to his bed, and handed him the envelope. + +"I made you a gift, Ben. I hope you like it. I hope you feel better soon." + +Ben opened the envelope, and took out the card. He saw the sun and the rainbow, and the words that Lily wrote. He smiled, and his eyes sparkled. + +"Wow, Lily, this is the best gift ever! Thank you so much! You are so thoughtful!" + +He hugged Lily, and she hugged him back. + +"You are welcome, Ben. You are my best friend." + +They both felt happy, and talked for a while. Lily's mom and Ben's mom watched them, and smiled too. + +The moral of the story is: Making gifts for your friends is a thoughtful way to show them you care, and it can make them feel better when they are sick. +Lily and Max are playing with their toy cars on the floor. They like to make them zoom fast and loud. They pretend they are racing drivers and cheer for their cars. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Lily says, as she pushes her red car along the floor. "My car is the fastest and the best!" + +"No, no, no!" Max says, as he pushes his blue car along the floor. "My car is the fastest and the best!" + +They both laugh and have fun. They do not see that their mom is watching them from the door. She smiles and thinks they are very cute and sweet. + +"Look, mom!" Lily says, as she sees her mom. "We are playing with our cars! They are very beautiful, right?" + +"Yes, they are very beautiful," mom says, as she comes in and hugs them. "And so are you, my little racers. Do you want a snack?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Max say, as they put their cars aside and follow their mom to the kitchen. They are hungry and happy. They love their cars and their mom. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They used a big box as their ship and a map they drew with crayons. + +"Look, Ben, I found a shiny glass!" Lily said, holding up a small vase she took from the shelf. "Maybe it is a magic glass that can grant wishes!" + +"Wow, let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the vase. "Be careful, Lily, it looks expensive. Mommy might get mad if we break it." + +Lily did not want to share the glass. She pulled it away from Ben and hugged it to her chest. "No, it is mine! I found it first! Go find your own treasure!" + +Ben felt angry and sad. He wanted to see the glass too. He tried to grab it from Lily, but she pushed him away. They both fell to the floor and the glass slipped from Lily's hand. It hit the ground and shattered into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben cried. They heard Mommy coming from the kitchen. They knew they were in trouble. + +"What was that noise?" Mommy asked, entering the living room. She saw the broken glass and the scared children. She frowned and said, "Lily, Ben, what did you do? That was Grandma's glass. It was very old and expensive. How could you be so careless?" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They did not mean to break the glass. They wanted to play and have fun. They looked at Mommy and said, "We are sorry, Mommy. We were playing pirates and we found the glass. We fought over it and it fell. We did not know it was Grandma's glass. We did not want to make you sad." + +Mommy sighed and knelt down. She hugged Lily and Ben and said, "I know you did not do it on purpose, but you have to be more careful with things that are not yours. You have to share and be gentle. Grandma's glass was very special to me. It was a gift from her when I was a little girl. It can never be fixed now." + +Lily and Ben felt worse. They wished they could undo what they did. They said, "We are very sorry, Mommy. We love you and Grandma. Can we do something to make you happy?" + +Mommy smiled and said, "You can help me clean up the mess and then we can call Grandma and tell her what happened. Maybe she can tell us a story about the glass and how she got it. And then we can say sorry to her too. Do you think that is a good idea?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy. That is a good idea. We will help you and we will listen to Grandma. We will be good pirates from now on." + +Mommy kissed them and said, "Thank you, my sweet pirates. I love you too. Now let's get to work and be careful not to cut yourselves with the glass. And next time, please shut the box when you are done playing. It will keep your toys safe and tidy." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy animals in the living room. They liked to pretend they were in the jungle and make noises like the animals. Lily had a big lion and Ben had a small monkey. + +"Roar!" Lily said, making her lion jump on the couch. "I am the king of the jungle. No one can stop me!" + +"Ooh-ooh-ah-ah!" Ben said, making his monkey swing from a cord that hung from the ceiling. "I am the fastest and smartest animal. You can't catch me!" + +Lily and Ben chased each other around the room, having fun. But then, Lily got too excited and pulled the cord too hard. The cord broke and the monkey fell on the floor. Ben was sad and angry. + +"Hey, you broke my monkey!" Ben shouted, picking up his toy. "That was not nice!" + +"Sorry, sorry!" Lily said, feeling sorry. "I didn't mean to. It was an accident!" + +But Ben didn't listen. He threw his monkey at Lily's lion, making it fall off the couch. Lily was sad and angry too. + +"Hey, you broke my lion!" Lily shouted, picking up her toy. "That was not meaner!" + +"Sorry, sorry!" Ben said, feeling sorry. "I didn't mean to. It was an accident too!" + +But Lily didn't listen. She threw her lion at Ben's head, making him cry. Ben ran to his mom, who was in the kitchen. Lily ran to her dad, who was in the bedroom. They both told their parents what happened. + +Mom and dad were not happy. They came to the living room and saw the broken toys and the mess. They scolded Lily and Ben for fighting and breaking their toys. They said they had to share and be nice to each other. They said they had to clean up the room and say sorry to each other. + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They didn't want to fight or break their toys. They wanted to play and have fun. But they were too proud and stubborn to say sorry. They cleaned up the room in silence, avoiding each other's eyes. They went to their rooms, feeling lonely and sad. They wished they had been nicer to each other. They wished they had been friends. +Sara loved her pink bed. It was soft and cozy and had a big pillow with a unicorn on it. She liked to play with her dolls and books on her bed, and pretend it was a castle or a spaceship. + +But sometimes, Sara did not want to go to bed when it was dark. She wanted to stay up and watch TV with Mom and Dad, or read more stories, or play with her toys. She would cry and say, "No bed, no bed!" + +Mom and Dad would say, "Sara, you have to go to bed. It is late and you need to sleep. You can play again tomorrow. Bed is good for you." + +Sara would pout and say, "But I'm not sleepy. I want to play more. Please, please, please, can I stay up?" + +Mom and Dad would shake their heads and say, "No, Sara, you can't stay up. We love you, but you have to follow the rules. We will read you one more story, and then you have to go to bed. We will allow you to choose the story, but only one." + +Sara would sigh and say, "Okay, okay, I will go to bed. But can I choose the story about the princess and the dragon?" + +Mom and Dad would smile and say, "Yes, you can choose that story. It is a good story. Come on, let's go to your pink bed and read it together." + +Sara would hop off the couch and run to her pink bed. She would snuggle with Mom and Dad and listen to the story. She would feel happy and sleepy. She would say, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for the story. I love you. Good night." + +Mom and Dad would kiss her and say, "You're welcome, Sara. We love you too. Good night. Sweet dreams." + +They would turn off the light and leave the room. Sara would close her eyes and drift off to sleep, dreaming of princesses and dragons and her pink bed. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big fountain with water and coins. Tom wanted to throw a coin and make a wish. + +"Look, Mia, I have a penny. I want to set it in the water and wish for a new bike. Do you have a penny too?" Tom asked. + +Mia shook her head. She did not have a penny. She only had a button. She was sad. + +"Can I use your button, Mia? Maybe it will work too. Please?" Tom said. + +Mia thought for a moment. She liked her button. It was shiny and red. But she also liked Tom. He was her friend. She decided to share. + +"Okay, Tom, you can use my button. But you have to wish for something for me too. I want a new doll. Deal?" Mia said. + +Tom nodded. He took the button and the penny. He set them in his hand. He closed his eyes and made a wish. Then he threw them in the fountain. They made a splash. + +"Did you wish for me, Tom?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, Mia, I did. I hope our wishes come true. Let's go and play on the slide. Maybe we will find more pennies and buttons on the way." Tom said. + +They ran to the slide. They were happy. They did not see the open hand that reached into the fountain and took their penny and button. It was a man who liked shiny things. He smiled and walked away. He did not know about their wishes. +Tom and Mia are friends who like to play pretend. They have a big box full of costumes and toys. One day, they find a shiny sword in the box. It is silver and has a red handle. + +"Wow, look at this sword!" Tom says. "It is so cool and rare. I want to be a knight and fight dragons." + +"Can I see it?" Mia asks. "I want to be a princess and save the kingdom." + +Tom and Mia take turns holding the sword and making noises. They pretend to be brave and strong. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Tom's mom calls him. "Tom, it's time to go. We have to mail some letters at the post office." + +"Okay, mom. I'm coming." Tom says. He puts the sword back in the box. He says goodbye to Mia. + +"Bye, Tom. See you tomorrow." Mia says. She waves to him. + +Mia looks at the sword. She thinks it is very pretty and rare. She wants to keep it. She has an idea. She takes the sword out of the box. She puts it in a big envelope. She writes Tom's name and address on it. She thinks Tom will be happy to get a surprise in the mail. + +She runs to the post office with the envelope. She gives it to the mailman. She smiles and says, "Please mail this to my friend Tom. It is a special gift." + +The mailman nods and takes the envelope. He puts it in his bag. He does not know there is a sword inside. He thinks it is a normal letter. + +Mia goes back to her house. She feels proud and happy. She thinks Tom will love the sword. She does not know that Tom will miss the sword. She does not know that the sword will make a big hole in the envelope. She does not know that the mailman will be very confused and scared. She does not know that the sword will cause a lot of trouble. She only knows that she is a good friend. +Tom is a boy who likes to learn new things. He is very intelligent. He likes to read books, play with puzzles and ask questions. He has a big ear that can hear many sounds. + +One day, he goes to the park with his mom. He sees a lot of animals there. He hears birds singing, dogs barking and squirrels chattering. He wants to know more about them. + +He sees a man with a big hat and a long beard. The man has a parrot on his shoulder. The parrot is colorful and noisy. Tom is curious. + +"Hello, sir. What is your parrot's name?" Tom asks. + +"Hello, little boy. My parrot's name is Polly. She can talk. Do you want to hear her?" the man says. + +"Yes, please. I want to hear her." Tom says. + +The man nods and says to the parrot, "Polly, say hello to the boy." + +The parrot opens her beak and says, "Hello, boy. Hello, boy." + +Tom is amazed. He claps his hands and laughs. He says, "Wow, Polly can talk. She is very intelligent, like me." + +The man smiles and says, "Yes, Polly is very intelligent. She can repeat what she hears. She can also learn new words. Do you want to teach her something?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He says, "Yes, I do. I want to teach her my name. My name is Tom." + +The man says, "Okay, Tom. Say your name to Polly and see if she can say it back." + +Tom says, "Hello, Polly. My name is Tom." + +The parrot listens and says, "Hello, Tom. Hello, Tom." + +Tom is happy. He says, "Good job, Polly. You are very smart. I like you." + +The parrot says, "I like you, too. I like you, too." + +Tom and Polly become friends. They talk and play together. Tom's mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of her intelligent son and his big ear. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play with toys. Mom says they have too many toys. She says they need to store some toys in a big box. Then they can give the box to other kids who have no toys. + +Tim and Jen are troubled. They do not want to store their toys. They love all their toys. How can they choose which toys to store? + +They look at their toys. They see dolls, cars, blocks, books, balls, and more. They pick up each toy and hug it. They say, "I love you, toy. You are my friend." + +Mom comes in. She sees Tim and Jen with their toys. She smiles. She says, "I know it is hard to store your toys. But you can keep some toys. You can pick one toy each. Which toy do you want to keep?" + +Tim and Jen think. They look at their toys. They pick their favorite toys. Tim picks a red car. Jen picks a yellow doll. They say, "We want to keep these toys. They are our best toys." + +Mom nods. She says, "OK. You can keep those toys. But you have to store the rest of the toys in the box. Then we can go and give the box to other kids. They will be happy to have your toys. And you can be happy to share your toys." + +Tim and Jen agree. They store their toys in the box. They say goodbye to their toys. They say, "We hope you have fun with other kids. We will miss you, toys. But we still have our best toys." + +Mom hugs Tim and Jen. She says, "You are very good kids.

They pretend to be brave knights and fight the bad dragons. + +One day, Sara has a new idea. She wants to design a new weapon. She takes some paper and some crayons and draws a big bow and arrow. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look, Ben, this is my new weapon. It can shoot far and fast. It is better than your sword." + +Ben feels angry. He thinks his sword is the best weapon. He does not like Sara's bow and arrow. He says, "No, Sara, your weapon is silly. It is not strong or sharp. It is not a real weapon. My sword is the best weapon. It can cut and stab. It is a real weapon." + +Sara feels sad. She thinks her bow and arrow is a good weapon. She likes to design new things. She says, "No, Ben, your weapon is old and boring. It is not fast or graceful. It is not a fun weapon. My bow and arrow is the new weapon. It can fly and hit. It is a fun weapon." + +They start to argue and shout. They do not want to play together anymore. They take their weapons and go to different corners of the room. They glare at each other and wait for the other to say sorry. + +But no one says sorry. They stay angry and silent. They do not have fun. They do not play. They do not smile. They have a bad day. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to find acorns and make hats for their dolls. They had a big basket full of acorns. They were happy. + +But then, a big dog came running. It was barking loud. It wanted to play too. It jumped on the basket and knocked it over. The acorns rolled everywhere. The dog chased them and bit them. Some of the acorns broke. They were fragile. + +Lily and Tom were scared and sad. They ran to their mom. "Mom, mom, the dog tore our acorns!" they cried. "We worked hard to find them. They were our hats. Now they are gone." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. The dog didn't know. He was just having fun. He didn't mean to hurt your acorns. Let's go and find some more. There are plenty in the park. We can make new hats. And maybe we can share some with the dog. He might like them too." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They wiped their tears. They followed mom back to the park. They saw the dog again. He wagged his tail. He looked sorry. Lily and Tom smiled. They gave him some acorns. He licked their hands. They made friends. They played together. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they got restless. They wanted to do something new and fun. + +One day, they had an idea. They decided to change their names.

"But we have to act like each other too." + +They nodded and smiled. They went to their mom and dad. + +"Hi, mom. Hi, dad. I'm Lily," Tom said in a high voice. He wore a pink dress and a bow. + +"Hi, mom. Hi, dad. I'm Tom," Lily said in a low voice. She wore a blue shirt and a cap. + +Mom and dad looked at them. They were confused. They did not know what was going on. + +"Are you playing a game?" mom asked. + +"Yes, we are," Tom and Lily said together. + +"What is the game?" dad asked. + +"We changed our names," Tom and Lily said together. + +"Why did you do that?" mom asked. + +"Because we were restless," Tom and Lily said together. + +Mom and dad laughed. They thought it was a silly game. But they played along. + +"OK, Lily and Tom. Do you want some snacks?" mom asked. + +"Yes, please," Tom and Lily said together. + +They went to the kitchen. They ate some cookies and milk. They had fun with their new names. But after a while, they got restless again. + +"Can we change our names back?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, let's do that," Lily agreed. + +They went to their mom and dad. + +"Hi, mom. Hi, dad. We're sorry for the game. We're Tom and Lily again," they said. + +Mom and dad hugged them. They were happy to see their real names. + +"That's OK, Tom and Lily. We love you no matter what your names are," they said. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They were glad to be themselves again. They were not restless anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. But then Lily's car broke. The wheel came off and the car could not move. + +"Oh no, my car!" Lily cried. "It is broken!" + +Ben looked at the car and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I can repair it. I have a tool box in the shed. Come with me." + +They ran to the shed and Ben opened his tool box. He found a screwdriver and a glue stick. He said, "I need to screw the wheel back and glue it. Then your car will be good as new." + +Lily watched as Ben fixed her car. She was happy and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very clever and kind." + +Ben smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are my best friend. Do you want to play some more?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. But first, let's have some lunch. I am hungry." + +They went inside the house and saw their mom in the kitchen. She was making pasta with sauce. She said, "Hello, kids. Are you having fun?" + +They told her about their car adventure and showed her the repaired car. She said, "Wow, Ben. You did a great job. And Lily, I'm glad your car is okay. You are both very sweet. Now, wash your hands and sit down. Lunch is ready." + +They washed their hands and sat at the table. They ate the pasta with sauce and enjoyed it. It was delicious and warm. They talked and laughed and felt happy. It was a peaceful and lovely day. +Sara loved animals. She wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. She liked to play with her stuffed animals and pretend they were sick or hurt. She would give them medicine and bandages and make them feel better. + +One day, Sara's friend Lily came over to play. Lily also liked animals, but she liked different ones. She brought her stuffed giraffe and zebra. Sara showed Lily her stuffed cat and dog. They decided to play veterinarian together. + +But soon, they had a problem. Sara wanted to use her stethoscope to listen to the cat's heart, but Lily wanted to use it for the giraffe. They both reached for the stethoscope and pulled on it. + +"Let go! It's mine!" Sara said. + +"No, it's mine! I need it!" Lily said. + +They started to cry and yell. Sara's mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the stethoscope. + +"Girls, girls, stop!" she said. "What's going on here?" + +"Sara won't share with me!" Lily said. + +"Lily won't share with me!" Sara said. + +Sara's mom sighed. She took the stethoscope from them and put it on the table. + +"Sharing is important, girls. You can't play together if you don't share. How would you feel if someone took your toy and didn't let you use it?" she asked. + +They both looked down and felt sorry. They knew they wouldn't like that. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I should have asked you first," Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I should have let you have a turn," Sara said. + +They hugged and said they were still friends. Sara's mom smiled and gave them a hug too. + +"Why don't we have a snack and then you can play some more?" she suggested. + +She brought them some cookies and milk. They were delicious. Sara and Lily shared them and thanked Sara's mom. + +They went back to playing veterinarian. They took turns using the stethoscope and the other tools. They helped each other heal their animals. They had fun and learned to share. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play on the ranch with their dad and mom. The ranch has many animals, like cows, horses, and chickens. Lily and Ben help to feed them and pet them. + +One day, it is very hot on the ranch. Lily and Ben are thirsty. They ask their mom for some water. Mom says, "I have something better for you. Come with me to the kitchen." She takes them to the fridge and gives them each a glass of milk. "This is from our cows," she says. "They make the best milk. It is smooth and creamy and good for you." + +Lily and Ben drink the milk. They like it a lot. It makes them feel cool and happy. They say, "Thank you, mom. This is the best drink ever."

They are very lucky. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big box. They can make the box into anything they want.

They find a bulb in the garage and tape it to the top of the box. They think it looks like a rocket. + +"Let's go to the moon!" Tom says. He climbs into the box and pretends to fly. + +"Wait for me!" Lily says. She wants to go to the moon too. But there is not enough room in the box for both of them. + +"Please, Tom, let me in!" Lily says.

Lily says. + +"But we made the box together!" Tom says. + +Mom looks at the box. She sees how creative they are. She smiles. + +"Tom, Lily, you did a great job with the box. It is a wonderful spaceship. But you know what? It can also be something else. It can be a castle. Or a boat. Or a cave. Or anything you can imagine. And you know what else? It is more fun to play together than alone. Why don't you share the box and take turns being the captain or the princess or the explorer? Then you can both enjoy your adventure." + +Tom and Lily think about what Mom says. They realize she is right. They say sorry to each other and hug. + +"OK, Mom, we will share the box. Thank you for the idea!" Tom says. + +"Yes, Mom, we will play together. You are very creative too!" Lily says. + +They smile and climb into the box. They decide to make the box into a castle first.

He says, "Thank you, friends. You are good. I wish I still had my ball. It was my favorite toy. It was a gift from my owner." + +His friends look at him and smile. They say, "We know, Tommy. We know you love your ball. But you know what? You are not a toy. You are a dog. And you have a family, not an owner. They love you more than any ball. Come on, let's go home. Maybe they have a new ball for you." +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes.

She knows he has her hole-block. She feels hurt and betrayed. + +"Ben, you are lying! You have my hole-block! Give it back to me!" she says, and tries to grab it. + +Ben holds it tight. He does not want to give it back. He likes it too much. He pushes Anna away. + +"No, it is mine now! Go away!" he says. + +Anna and Ben start to fight. They pull and push and shout and cry.

They were playing on Timmy's farm, when Timmy's rooster, Red, went missing! + +Tommy said, "Let's look in the barn, Timmy! Maybe Red is there." + +They ran to the barn and opened the doors. But Red was not there! Instead, they found a little mouse in the corner. + +Timmy said, "Oh no! What do we do? We can't have a mouse in the barn." + +Tommy thought carefully. He remembered his grandfather always said, "A modest ear will release more than a loud mouth" + +So Tommy said, "Lets kindly ask the mouse to leave the barn". + +So Timmy and Tommy asked the mouse to leave and kindly said, "It's best for you to be somewhere else". + +The mouse felt understood and scurried away. + +Timmy and Tommy were pleased! + +The moral of this story is to be kind and understanding in all situations. A modest ear will help you to get more than a loud mouth. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was so young, only three years old. Every night when she went to bed, she was so worried. She had a lot of worries and didn't know how to make them go away. + +One night it started to rain. The little girl was afraid, but she lay down in her bed and closed her eyes. As the rain kept falling, the girl drifted off to sleep. She slept and slept until the sun came up and the rain stopped. + +When the sunshine finally came, the girl was so happy. She jumped out of bed and the ground outside was all wet. Her worries were gone, and she was so happy that she had slept through the storm. + +The little girl laughed, ran outside and played in the sunshine. She knew that her worries were never too big that she couldn't just sleep them away! +Once there was an orange pie. It smelled really yummy! But it was too high for anyone to reach. So a little girl had a plan. She kicked the pie off the counter. It fell down with a thud. The girl was so excited. She picked up the orange pie, put it on a plate, paused for a second and then she ate it up. Yum! The orange pie was so yummy. Everyone was glad that the little girl had kicked the pie! +Once upon a time, a little boy saw an oyster with his mommy. He looked so excited to see it. The little boy had never seen an oyster before and he wanted to learn more about it. + +His mommy said to him: "Oh, my little one, this oyster is special. See how it's all covered in a hard shell? Open it up and you will find a surprise". + +The little boy was so excited that he grabbed the oyster and started to try and open it. But it was too hard and he couldn't open it. His mommy hugged him and said: "Don't worry, my love, something special will happen at the right time". + +The next day, they heard a very noisy sound coming from the beach. They looked and saw a big group of oysters. The little boy started to get very excited. He ran toward the oysters and started to open them one by one. Inside of each one, he found a beautiful pearl. He gathered a big bunch of them without getting tired. His mommy smiled, proud of her little one. + +With her help, the little boy was able to fulfill his dream of opening oysters. He had found his surprise. +Once upon a time there was a brave mouse. Everywhere he went, he always did brave things. + +One day, he found a button lying on the ground. He saw some of his friends nearby, so he shouted, “Come join me! I just found a button!†His friends happily joined him, and together they had lots of fun playing with the button. + +The brave mouse's friends said to him, “Let's hide the button and we can come back for it later.†But the brave mouse disagreed. He said, “I'm brave - I don't need to hide it. I'll keep it safe with me!†+ +So, the brave mouse tucked the button into his pocket and ran off. Everywhere he went, the brave mouse kept the button close by. + +Finally, the brave mouse got to the safe place he was looking for. No one could take the button away from him there. He'd kept it safe the whole time! + +The moral of the story is: be brave and protect what's yours. When you do something brave and put in the effort to keep something safe, you'll never lose it! +John was outside looking for something special. He stared at the ground and gazes around like he was looking for something. Suddenly, he saw a diamond sparkling in the sunlight. His eyes widened, then he slowly reached out to pick it up. + +John said, “Wow, this is so nice!†He was so excited. He was about to put it in his pocket when he heard a loud voice. + +“That’s mine!†A fearful figure stepped out of the shadows. It was the ogre who lives in the nearby woods. + +“Please give it back!†the ogre said. John was too scared to move. The ogre smiled and took the diamond back. + +The moral of the story is that you should never take something that doesn't belong to you. John learned his lesson in a very fearful way. +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Bob and Mary. They both were very different; Mary was big and strong, while Bob was small and weak. One day, Mary decided to perform a threat against Bob in order to show off her strength. + +“I will beat you up if you don't do what I want!†said Mary, looking very powerful and attractive. But Bob was brave and he refused to do as she asked. + +“No, I will not be scared of your threat. I will do what I think is right.†said Bob. + +Mary was impressed and decided to learn from Bob's example. They both soon realized that it is better for us to stick to the right thing and never yield to threats. + +The moral of the story is that we should never give in to threats and instead, we should always choose to do the right thing. No matter how attractive and powerful our opponents may be, it is always better to do what is right. +Once upon a time, there was a gentle man called Bob. He was walking in the park when he saw a small flower. He was very happy and smiled. He knelt beside it and said: "Hello, little flower. You look so pretty." + +The flower responded in a soft voice: "Thank you kindly. I am glad you noticed me. I've been growing here in the park for a long time and I still need a lot of care". + +Bob replied: "Yes, you need lots of love to grow. But sometimes it's ok to be still and just enjoy the beauty and quiet around you. Slow motion is alright too." + +The flower was enlightened by Bob's words and thanked him warmly before he left. + +Bob's words were wise and they teach us a lesson: although it's important to work hard and always strive to grow and improve ourselves, it's also ok to take our time and appreciate the small things around us every now and then. Slow motion often brings us more peace and contentment than fast action. +There were two friends called Sally and Jack. They were both very organized and were always playing together. One day they were out in the garden looking for things to do. + +"I know!" said Sally. "Let's make a message!" + +Jack smiled and they set to work gathering leaves and stones to make the message. After they were done they both stepped back and admired their work. + +"What do you think?" asked Sally. + +"Oh, it looks great!" said Jack. + +The two of them spoke to each other about how great the message looked and how organized it was. Then all of a sudden, a bird flew by and landed on the message. The bird seemed to be saying something. + +"I think the bird is trying to give us a message!" said Sally. + +Jack and Sally listened carefully. Sure enough, the bird was speaking in its language and giving them a message. The two friends understood what the bird had said, and thanked it for the message. Then the bird flew away, leaving Jack and Sally to continue their organized and exciting play day. +Wendy walked into the corner of her room, looking around. She pulled out a box and opened it. Inside the box was a beautiful veil, shimmering in the light. She thought to herself, "It looks special. I wonder what it is." + +Suddenly, Yuko appeared in the corner of the room. She smiled at Wendy and said, "I have something special for you Wendy". + +Yuko motioned for Wendy to come closer. Once she was close enough, Yuko carefully lifted the veil from the box, and held it out to Wendy. She said, "This veil is for you Wendy, it will make you look like the princess you are!" + +Wendy was delighted with the veil, and she happily put it on, spinning around in circles to display it. Yuko watched, with a hint of mischief in her eyes. + +Later that evening, Wendy was feeling restless, so she decided to put the veil back on and go for a walk. As she walked, the moonlight glinted off the veil, and to her surprise, she heard a voice calling her. + +The voice called out, "Wendy! Come, I have something special for you!". Wendy realized the voice was Yuko's and she ran, excited to discover what Yuko had in store. + +And so, Wendy followed the voice, and discovered there was a magical kingdom waiting for her beyond the veil. +Once upon a time there was a princess who lived in a tall, grey castle. The princess loved to explore and there was a secret door she wanted to see. But the door was locked and the key was nowhere to be found. + +The princess asked everyone she could for help. She asked the gardener, the cook, and the court jester, but none of them could help. Just when things seemed hopeless, a friendly old wizard appeared. + +The wizard knew a special spell which could unlock the door. He said some magic words and waved his wand. Suddenly, the door opened and revealed a long, silver hallway! + +The princess thanked the wizard for his help, but he looked sad. When the princess asked why, he said it was because some kids had been very rude to him earlier that day. The princess gave him a hug and thanked him again. With a smile, the wizard added one last spell. He said the princess could come back and the door would always unlock for her. +Once upon a time there was a little dog named Happy. Happy loved to go on adventures and explore the world. One day, while out exploring, Happy came across something sparkly in the ground. He quickly dug it up to see what it was and found a sharp spring! + +Happy was so excited. He knew a spring like this would be useful, but he wasn't quite sure how to use it. So he decided to go find his friend, Flip the Frog. + +When Happy showed Flip the spring, Flip gasped and said, “You found a very reliable spring! Now you can use it to fix all kinds of things around the house.†Happy was delighted and thanked Flip for the helpful advice. + +So, from that day on, Happy used the sharp spring to fix many things around the house. He was very proud that he was able to be so reliable. + +The moral of the story is that it is important to ask for help when you need it. You might find a reliable solution that you never would have figured out on your own! +Once there was a mighty bear, who loved to go for a walk. Every day he went for a long walk in the forest, enjoying the beauty of nature. + +But one day, as the bear was walking, he suddenly began to feel very slippery beneath his feet. The ground had suddenly become very slick and before he knew it, the bear was sliding and he fell! + +The bear was sad that he had fallen, so he sat down and thought about what had gone wrong. He realized that the leaves on the ground were very slippery, and that had caused him to fall. + +But the bear did not give up. He stood up, and tried to be mighty. He firmly planted his feet the ground and decided to try his walk again. As he went on, the bear made sure that he stayed on firmer ground to avoid falling again. + +The bear never gave up, and soon he had learned how to enjoy his daily walks without falling again. He thought to himself, "What a mighty journey I have had!" +Once upon a time, there was a kind boy. He loved to help his mom and dad with things around the house.

She loved playing outside, and one day she was running around in the park. Suddenly, she noticed a wild glove on the ground. + +"What's this?" she asked her mom. + +"It's a glove honey," her mom replied. + +Lucy got excited and decided to put it on. As soon as the glove was on her hand, something strange happened. She felt a tingly sensation, and then she became wild. + +The park turned into a magical place. There were trees with fruits and animals that talked. She even saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky. Lucy loved this transformation and decided to explore the new world with her glove. + +She spent the entire day having the most amazing adventures and making new friends. At the end of the day, she gave the wild glove back to its rightful owner. + +Lucy went home with a big smile on her face and full of fun memories. From that day on, she never stopped believing in magic. +Once upon a time there was a king. He was very enthusiastic about his kingdom. He had a plan to make it even better. + +In order to make his plan a success, he sent a message to a prince. The message said: "Your help is needed! Meet me in the castle." + +The prince arrived eagerly and asked the king: "What do you need me to do?" + +The king replied: "I need your help to make my plan a success. Will you help me?" + +The prince was enthusiastic to help, so he agreed. The two of them discussed their plan and what they needed to do in order to make it happen. + +When they had discussed everything and decided how they were going to make the plan come true, the king trusted the prince to carry out his part of the mission. + +The prince was very proud and went away happily, eager to do his part. Together, the king and the prince were sure to make the plan a success. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lucy. She was three years old and lived in a hot, sunny country. One day, she wanted to go outside and have an adventure. + +So she set off, walking to a big hill. As she walked, she noticed things like animals and minerals. Then, when she reached the top of the hill, she saw a small lake. + +Lucy then realised she had forgotten to bring something to drink, so she started to worry. Suddenly, she heard a voice. + +"Don't worry, Lucy," the voice said. "Spray some of the mineral in the lake into your mouth and it will keep you hydrated." + +Lucy was surprised but did as she was told. She sprayed some of the mineral onto her mouth and was amazed. It wasn't cold like at home, but it tasted hot! She was very happy. + +Lucy thanked the voice but no one was there; the voice had come from nowhere. She kept walking and found out the voice had been a magical fairy. + +Lucy remembered the magical spraying fairy every time she had to keep hydrated on her adventures. She was happy that she had found a trusty and magical friend. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who wanted to go on a journey. She was very excited and said to her mom, "Let's lift and go!" Her mom smiled and said, "Let's go!" + +So they packed their bags and they left on their journey. As they traveled, they noticed the gray sky, but they kept walking and walking. + +After a while, they reached a deep, dark forest. They tried to lift and walk through, but there were too many trees and too much dark. So they turned around and started to walk back, but then the little girl heard a strange noise. + +She went up to her mom and said, "What is that?" Her mom replied, "It is probably just a branch." But the noise kept getting closer and closer, and it got louder and louder. + +The mom quickly grabbed the little girl's hand, but it was too late. They were surrounded by gray wolves, and the wolves were getting closer and closer. The mom shouted, "Run!" But the wolves were too fast. + +The little girl and her mom got separated in the chaos. The little girl never found her mom and was lost in the dark and gray forest. She had failed on her journey and never reached her destination. +Pamela and her mom were walking in the park. It was a present for Pamela's birthday. Pamela was so excited and said, "Mom, I hope I get a new bike." Her mom said, "Maybe if you're lucky, you will." They stepped closer and then Pamela saw it: a shiny new bike with all the bells and whistles. + +Pamela was shocked and said, "Mom, I hope it's mine." Her mom smiled and said, "Let's ask the man over there." But they were too late. The man said, "Sorry, it's not for sale." + +Pamela was so sad. Tears welled in her eyes and her hopes of getting a new bike were dashed. She said, "Mom, why can't I have it?" Her mom said, "Maybe someday you'll get one, but it won't be today." She hugged her daughter, but it was no comfort. Pamela still felt sad. +Once upon a time, there was a strong kitten who loved to bounce. Every day, the kitten would go to the park to find something new and exciting to bounce and play on. + +One day, the kitten saw a beautiful vest on the ground. It was bright and colourful with lots of lace and buttons. The kitten was so excited that it couldn’t resist getting closer to find out more. + +The kitten got closer and saw that the vest was very strong. He was happy and began to bounce around it. But as he bounced, he heard a voice. + +“That’s my vest!†shouted an angry lady. + +The kitten stopped bouncing and looked around. He was scared, so he ran and hid under a tree. + +The lady had been watching the whole time. She was very angry and started to chase the kitten. As she ran, the kitten could feel the ground shaking beneath his little feet. + +The kitten ran as fast as he could, but it was too late. The lady caught him and yelled, “You’re not allowed to touch my vest!†+ +The kitten was so scared that he couldn’t say a word. The lady dragged him away and the kitten never returned to the park again. + +The end. +Once there was a chicken named Banana. Banana was very silly. She kept doing stupid things, such as attaching herself to the fence posts. + +One day, her best friend Peanut came over and said, "Banana! What are you doing?" + +Banana replied, "I'm attaching myself to this post!" + +Peanut laughed. "That's so stupid. What are you going to do when the post moves away?" + +Banana thought for a minute and then said, "I guess I'll have to find something else to attach myself to!" And with that, she began to search for something else to attach herself to. She eventually found a spot and attached herself to it. + +From then on, Banana was much smarter about attaching herself to things and never did anything too stupid again. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to play. Every day, she would laugh and smile as she played her favorite game. + +One day, the girl was outside and she saw a top on the ground. She was so excited! She picked it up and started to spin it. As it spun, it glowed in the sunlight. + +The little girl was so proud. She clapped her hands and shouted, "Look! I'm spinning thetop!" + +Her mom smiled and said, "That looks wonderful! You have to be careful though. The top is very fragile." + +The girl nodded and asked her mom, "Can I keep spinning it?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, of course! But you must be careful and be sure to slow it down when you're done." + +The girl nodded and continued to spin the top. When it stopped spinning, she applauded and said, "I'm so proud of myself! I'm the best top-spinner in the world!" + +Her mom laughed and said, "Yes, you are!" +Amy was only 3 years old but she had big dreams. Every Saturday morning she would visit the farmer's market and look around the various vendors.

She asked the vendor how much it cost and they said they would give it to her for free! + +Amy was so excited she almost screamed. She thanked the vendor and gave them a hug. She couldn't wait to get home and show off her new toy. + +Amy ran home and presented her toy to her mom. "Mommy, look what I received today." She said, beaming with excitement. + +Her mom smiled.

He mixed all the colors to make an amazing painting of a rainbow. He was so happy with his painting. + +Later Bob smelled something sweet, it was sugar!

You are such a chubby boy!" + +Bob smiled and said, "But mommy, it's so yummy!" + +His mom smiled and hugged him.

Let's have a beautiful race!" + +So, the two of them lined up at the starting line. Grandpa said to the child, "Let's see who gets to the finish line first. Ready? Set, go!" + +The child and grandpa started running as fast as they could. But, the child was so small, he couldn't keep up with grandpa. + +The grandpa made it to the finish line first and he smiled at the 3 year old. He said, "Good job, my grandchild! You ran a beautiful race." + +The 3 year old was proud of himself and smiled back at the grandpa. He said, "We did it, grandpa! We made a beautiful race!" +Kody and Mommy were in the park one day, playing together. Kody wanted to fly like a bird, up in the sky, so he jumped and shouted, "Mommy - watch me soar!" + +His mom smiled and said, "I sure will! You're going to be a great flyer!" With that, Kody jumped higher and higher, and spread his arms out wide. + +He imagined he was soaring through the clouds and up into the sunny sky. He could feel the wind underneath wings and the sky around him. Suddenly, something startled him, and his eyes shot open. It was the sound of a nearby duck quacking! + +Kody stopped in midair, embarrassed. His mom gave him a hug and said, "It's ok sweetie - we all make wake sometimes!" Kody hugged her tight and said" I know Mommy - and my wings still work!" + +Mommy smiled and said, "Yes, baby, I know. Now let's practice soaring together!"

Rose panicked and said "what happened?". + +The thunder grew louder and the rain fell faster. Then, Rose felt a drop on her head. She looked at the wand and suddenly knew: she had made a big mistake. + +Rose closed the box quickly and put it back under her bed. She never wanted to touch it again.

His mom noticed this and said, "Bob, why are you so lazy today?" + +Bob groaned and said, "I don't want to do anything. I'm too tired." + +His mom smiled and said, "It's okay. I forgive you. Why don't you take a break and have a nap? Then you can do your chores when you wake up." + +Bob smiled, feeling relieved. He thanked his mother and said, "Okay, that sounds great. I'll take a short nap and then I'll do my work." + +As he laid down and took a nap, Bob suddenly had a dream. In his dream, he saw a big door with a big lock on it. He knew it was his heart, and that the lock was his anger. His mom said, "Don't be angry. Take a turn and forgive your enemies. That will open the door." + +Bob realized that taking a turn meant he had to try and forgive the people he was angry with. He took a deep breath, thinking hard about how to do this.

They were very dependable and loved to play together. One day, Mike asked Chloe to play catch. + +Chloe said, “Okay, let’s play catch! I'll throw the ball first.†She threw the ball to Mike. + +Mike was ready. He caught the ball and threw it back to Chloe. They kept throwing the ball back and forth like this. + +Throughout the game, they laughed and had a lot of fun. At one point, Mike pretended to throw the ball, but he didn’t actually do it. + +Chloe was confused. She asked Mike, “Why didn't you throw the ball?†+ +Mike replied, “I wanted to throw an image instead!†+ +Chloe laughed. She said, “We can still play catch, just with imagines! You throw a pretend ball and I'll catch it!†And so, they had fun playing catch with imagines. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Rosie.

One day he went to park and saw a bird there. The bear asked the bird, "Can I play with you?" The bird said, "No! I'm busy." The sleepy bear felt sad and he decided to take the bird's board. He flew off with it and the bird couldn't get it back. + +On the way home, the bear became very tired and he stumbled. The board slipped out of his paws and crashed on the ground. The board was broken into pieces and the bear was very sad. + +The moral of this story is that taking things that are not yours will only lead to bad endings. Everyone should learn to share and be gentle with things that don't belong to them. +Once upon a time, there were two brothers; Tommy and Benny. Tommy was always getting angry and was never in a good mood. His brother Benny wanted to help him, so one day he asked Tommy, "Why are you so angry?" Tommy didn't say anything, he just looked away. + +Benny suggested to his brother, "Let's sort out the rug together. It might make you feel better." So, the two brothers started sorting out the rug. As they worked together, Benny started to talk about how anger was not the best way to deal with things. He said that everyone has to deal with difficult times, but it is better to try to remain calm. + +Tommy listened carefully to his brother and his angry face started to relax. When they finished sorting out the rug, Tommy discussed what Benny had said and admitted, "You're right, I should try to not get so angry in the future." + +The two brothers hugged and Tommy smiled.

Can I touch you?" + +The pepper, feeling pleased that someone was admiring it and wanting to give the girl a surprise, said: "Yes, you may touch me and I will make something special happen." + +The little girl touched the pepper and immediately her hand became so hot from the spice that the girl was in great pain. She screamed and quickly ran away. + +The pepper was so sad that it had made the little girl cry. It couldn't understand why the girl had reacted so badly and why it was so spicy. It wished it could be different and not so spicy, so that everyone could touch it and get the surprise it wanted them to have. + +The pepper never got a chance to give its special surprise to anyone again. It stayed the same, spicy, round green pepper. It never got to be the friendly pepper it wanted to be. +Once upon a time there was a great hammer. Everyone loved the great hammer.

Jane stopped walking and said to her mother, "Mummy, why do people not value this place?" + +Her mother was surprised that Jane noticed. She told her the truth, "Some people choose not to take care of the place, Jane. That's why it is important to value and respect our environment." + +Jane nodded her head and walked away.

The man told Sam he was a very rich and powerful person and handed him the pistol to play with. Sam was very excited but suddenly realized it was wrong to have such a dangerous toy. He stepped back and shook his head. + +The man smiled at him and said,"I understand. I guess wealth doesn't bring true happiness."

While they were baking, Lyla said, "Life can be difficult, but if you stay with people who love you and encourage you, it can be easier." + +That day, Joy and Lyla learned an important lesson: it is better to stay with people who care about you and encourage you, than to take the unknown dangerous exit. +John and his mom were sitting at they dinner table.

His mom had brought him a brand new slide! It was green and shiny just like John had wanted. He couldn't wait to try it. + +John grabbed his toy shovel and headed for the garden. His dad had made him a special patch of snow for sliding on. John scooped away the powdery snow, making a steep hill. + +John looked at the hill with pride as he went inside to grab his toy sled.

"You don't have to be scared. I just want you to know that I'm here to help." + +The little girl thanked the spider for its help. She smiled and waved goodbye before walking away, feeling much better. She was brave, and now she knew she could handle anything that came her way. +Sera and her father were walking along the beach.

Are you hurt?" + +Kate was a bit sad and said, "No, I'm ok - but now we can't play anymore." + +Peter smiled and said, "Let's try something different. We can restore things that are broken.

Together we can make it better and we can still be friends." + +And so, Peter and Kate picked up the leaves and restored the park. The park felt more friendly and they could play sports again. + +At the end of the day they both agreed that being kind and restoring things was more fun than playing sport. They had learned a valuable lesson - that restoring can help us become better friends and to be more kind to each other. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy who woke early one morning. As he slowly opened his eyes, he spotted a pigeon in the distance. He slowly rubbed his eyes and said, "Hello pigeon! Where are you going?" + +The pigeon waved its wings and cooed in response. The boy smiled, jumped out of bed, and ran outside. He began to chase the bird, giggling with delight. + +The pigeon flew higher and higher, until it was a tiny speck in the sky. The boy looked up and shouted, "Come back, pigeon! Come back!" But the pigeon was too far away and didn't hear his plea. + +The little boy was sad, but he knew that he couldn't reach the distant pigeon. So he waved at it until it disappeared in the clouds. Then he turned and walked back inside, dreaming of one day flying high in the sky, chasing a pigeon of his own. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Mia and Hannah, who went on an adventure. They ran through the fields, laughing and singing as they went. Along their journey, Mia took out a bag of seeds. She scattered it around and whispered, “Let the year be wild and wonderful!†+ +The two friends looked closely at the ground and saw beautiful green plants shooting up out of the soil. They were so delighted with what they had done that they both clapped and danced around in circles. + +Hannah said, “Wow! I can’t believe what our seeds did. It looks so wild and wonderful!†+Mia excitedly smiled and replied, “I know! Let’s come back next year and see what it looks like!†+ +They spent the rest of the day playing and exploring the wonder of nature before returning home with big smiles on their faces. Every year, Mia and Hannah would make the trip back to reaffirm their promise to make the world more wild and wonderful. +Mummy was having a party at her house. She was very excited and wanted to make it special. She went outside to decorate the house. She put lots of colourful lights on the walls and hung some streamers on the windows. + +Mummy was looking for something special to put on the door. Then she had an idea. She went to get a piece of paper. On it, she wrote a name with a green marker. It was a special name. + +That night, the party started. Everyone was very happy. They crowded around the door, to see what Mummy had written. Finally, Mummy opened the door and they could read the special name... 'Welcome!' + +The guests were so surprised and cheered. Mummy had decorated the house perfectly and made everyone very happy with her special name. +Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to explore. Everywhere she went she looked to see what she could discover. One day she explored and came upon a door with a shiny golden knob. She stopped and questioned the knob. She asked, “What do you do?†+ +The knob spoke back. “I open doors. I keep things organized and help people find what they are looking for.†+The little girl thought this was very interesting and asked several questions. + +The knob answered them all and soon the little girl's curiosity was satisfied. She thanked the knob and went off to explore the rest of the world. She never forgot the shiny golden knob, and a reminder of the importance of things being organized. +Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tim. Tim was only 3 years old, but he was already a hero! +One day, while playing outside, Tim heard a big "thunder" sound. It came from the river behind him. Tim quickly ran over to see what was happening. + +When he got there, he saw that a little caterpillar was stuck in the water. Its little legs were flapping to try and get out, but it had no strength to climb the river bank. + +Tim quickly scooped it up and carried the caterpillar back to safety. The caterpillar was so happy and thanked him by fluttering its colorful wings. + +Tim smiled. He knew he had just saved the day. +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Amanda.

After a long time, she finally spotted him. He had become very hairy! + +Amanda called out to Gary, but he would not come back. She tried again, but he still did not listen. She started to worry, so she searched for something that could help her. She then found a big bunch of bananas and offered one to Gary. + +He came back! Amanda was so happy she hugged him and promised to never replace him. But even after the incident, she decided to keep the case as a reminder of their story. + +The End. +Once upon a time, there were two little boys. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. One day they both saw an olive tree. They wanted to see who could touch the highest branch. They both stretched and jumped, but neither could reach the branch. + +The boys had a brilliant idea. They decided to stack up some chairs to stand on. One of the boys stepped onto the chairs and was able to touch the highest branch. He was so happy that he jumped up and down and cheered. + +But suddenly, the branch broke and the boy fell down. He cried loudly and all of his friends gathered around.

But Bob was not sure if he should accept her help. + +The girl said, “Don’t worry. I'm very smart and I know the answers. I can help you finish the quiz.†+ +Finally, Bob decided to accept the girl’s help. Together they finished the quiz and Bob was so happy. He thanked the girl and they both smiled. +Once upon a time, in a far away place, there lived two best friends. One of them was a tiny duck and the other was an old frog. + +The frog and duck often went on adventures together. One day they were walking through a field and came to a filthy, murky pond. They wanted to explore it, so they hopped in a little rowboat. + +As the frog and duck sailed along the river, the duck spotted some nasty-looking creatures on the banks. "Please turn around," the duck warned the frog. But the frog didn't listen. + +Soon the frog and duck were surrounded by the creatures.

I will always encourage you to be creative!†+Dawn and her mom were getting ready for the day. It was noon and the sun was shining brightly. +"We need to hurry," said Mom. "Let's look for your socks." +Dawn grinned as she rushed around the room, looking for her socks. She soon spotted them in the corner and said, "I found them!" +Mom smiled and said, "Good work. Now let's get you ready." + +They finished getting dressed quickly. Mom asked, "Are you ready?" +Dawn smiled and said, "Yes!" +Mom took her by the hand, and together they stepped out into the sunny day. +Once there lived a group of friends. One day, they all decided to go on a walk in the forest. As soon as they entered the woods, they saw an ugly wolf. They were scared, but the wolf said to them, "I need help. Can you help me?" His voice sounded so sad, that the friends decided to help him. + +One of the friends said, "Yes, we can help you. What do you need?" The wolf replied, "I need food and shelter. Can you give me those?" The friends gladly offered the wolf a place to stay and some food to eat. + +The wolf thanked them for their kindness, but very soon, he started to act strange. He became more and more aggressive. One day, he ate one of the friends. The group was shocked and scared, but it was too late. + +The moral of the story is that you should be careful when you try to help others, because you never know what might happen. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Daisy. Daisy's mommy was baking cakes in the kitchen. Daisy wanted to help, so she asked if she could bake too.

He was very miserable and wanted to find a way to escape his life. He looked and looked for a way out but none seemed to be there. + +One day he decided to explore inside a old rotten log. He saw a tiny opening and thought he could use it as a way to escape. He got closer to the log and saw that it was full of rot! He started to feel scared, he knew that he had to escape before it was too late. + +He quickly started to dig through the log and soon enough he was outside the log. He was so relieved and happy to have escaped. But then he became sad again, because he was now all alone. He was miserable and alone with nowhere else to go. + +But then he saw something amazing. A little mouse hole not far away! He made his way to it, and soon he was safe and sound inside the hole.

Sarah was so excited and wanted to touch the statue. + +Mommy said, "No, Sarah. Don't touch the statue because it's very old." + +Sarah was sad, but she listened to her mommy. Mommy said, "Let's go find something else." + +So Sarah started to run, faster and faster. Suddenly, she found a cherry tree. + +She asked Mommy, "Can I pick the cherries?" + +Mommy said, "Yes, but be careful and don't climb too high." + +So Sarah carefully picked the cherries. She was so excited that she forgot about the statue. + +When Sarah was finished, she was full of cherries.

I think I need to go to the doctor." + +Sophie was worried. "Mommy, will you be okay?" + +Her mom smiled. "Yes, don't worry. The doctor will make me feel better." + +They both got in the car and drove to the doctor. Soon, Sophie's mom was feeling much better.

He had to find his way home. But then he saw something! He saw some toys that had fallen out of a tree nearby. He picked up the toys and then he started to laugh. He forgot that he had been careless and hurt himself. + +Now the boy felt better and he was happy to have the toys. He started walking again, this time more carefully! At the end of his journey, he arrived home safely. He knew that it was important to be careful, so he didn't fall down again. +Once upon a time, there were three friends who lived near one another. One day, the friends decided to read a book together. While they were reading, one of the friends noticed that their mailbox looked a little different than the other two mailboxes. At first, she was very unhappy about this and wondered why her mailbox was so different. + +The other two friends, however, reminded her that although their mailboxes were different, they were still all friends. They knew that the important thing was not what their mailboxes looked like, but that they liked spending time together. + +So they all agreed that although they might look different on the outside, they were all the same on the inside. And that was the moral of the story! +Once upon a time, there were two best friends - a bear and a fox. The bear was big and strong and the fox was really quick. + +The fox wanted to go to the river and asked the bear to come too. The eager fox was jumping up and down and clapping with excitement. The bear laughed and said "Yes, alright". + +When they got to the river, the fox went in for a swim. The bear stayed back because he was scared to get a cold. The river looked so deep and dark but the fox didn't mind. + +Suddenly, a loud sound roared through the air. It was a lion! The fox jumped out of the river in a fright but the bear ran up to the lion, roaring and waving his arms. The fox was so brave. Eventually, the lion backed away, down the hill. + +The fox cheered and thanked the bear for saving them. The bear smiled and said "it was nothing, just wanted to help my friend". The two friends spent the rest of the day playing and running around by the river. + +They had a fun adventure that day and were always happy when they were together. The End. +Once upon a time there was a very adventurous little girl. She was always excited to go out and explore the world. One day, while she was out on her journey, she came across an old gift. It was so shiny and sparkling, she couldn't help but question what was inside. + +The girl was so curious that she decided to open up the gift. As soon as she opened it, she saw a giant monster. The monster was so big and scary that she screamed and ran away. + +She tried her best to escape but the monster was too fast. It soon caught up to her and the girl knew it was the end. She was so scared and knew she was helpless in this situation. + +In a last effort, she shouted out "Help me!" However, no one was around to hear her plea. And that was the end of the little girl's adventurous journey. +Once upon a time there was a powerful snake. He liked to stretch in the sunshine and watch the birds fly in the sky.

It was some poison! + +The snake asked the birds, “What is this?†+ +The birds replied, “It’s poison. You should stay away from it.†+ +But being a powerful snake, he was not afraid. He thought it would be fun to try it. + +The snake stretched out his long, slippery body and gulped the poison down. Instantly, he could feel the strong, tingling sensation in his body and he became very ill. + +The birds had warned him, but he didn't listen.

I see some sugar." + +Jack brightened. "Let's go get it!" + +They ran over to the sugar and saw that it was a big bowl full of it. Jack and Jill each took a handful and ate it.

But the girl was too frightened to answer. + +Suddenly, they both heard a loud noise. It was coming from behind them. The giant panicked, and he quickly grabbed the girl and ran away.

Mama said, "You stretch your one dollar to cover the rest." + +Dan was confused. He thought he'd be able to get his toy, but if Mama had no change, how could he get it? Dan wanted to solve the problem, so he begged the shopkeeper for the toy. + +The shopkeeper said, "I don't think that's fair. I'm a business and I have to make money."

He called for help, but no one was nearby. + +Just then, a young girl came walking along. She was only three years old. The duck called out for help, and the girl heard his cries. She hurried to the edge of the lake and could see the duck struggling. She wanted to rescue him. + +The girl found a long stick and tried to reach out to the duck. She took a few steps closer. She was almost there, but the duck was scared and moved away. Again, the duck slipped below the water, further away from the girl. + +The duck was desperate, and tried to swim back, but it was too late. He had been swimming for too long and he couldn't keep going. The duck had to give up and he sank below the lake. + +The young girl was so sad.

"I ordered it for you!" + +Eric was puzzled. What could be so special about chalk? He opened the box to find out.

Dave saw a key on the ground and he picked it up and said he wanted to keep it. Sarah felt jealous and wanted the key for herself, so she said she wanted it. Mom said that the key didn't belong to either of them, so she should give it back where she had found it. + +Dave said he wanted to keep the key and asked what he should do with it. Mom suggested that he make a whistle with the key so that he could play. Dave liked this idea and set off to find some bushes and twigs to make the whistle. + +Sarah was still jealous of Dave finding the key, so she followed him and watched as he searched for the right materials. She even helped him look, even though she was still jealous of him. + +Mom watched the kids get along and laughed as they searched, and eventually Dave made a perfect whistle with the key. He was very proud of himself, and Sarah was still a bit jealous, but it was all in good fun. +Mia and her dog Lolo were walking in the park when suddenly it started to rain.

The sun was very hot and they were confused about what to do. + +Lily kept insisting they should try to find their way back home. They started walking, but they just looked more and more confused. Lily said they should look for an even bigger path, so they could find their way back.

What’s your name?†+ +“I’m Birdy. I’m flying around the sky. Would you like to come with me?†+ +Penny was excited. “Yes!

His mum found him and she said in a calm voice, 'it's only thunder Tom, what's wrong?' + +Tom very quietly said: 'I'm scared, it's so loud'. His mum said 'Don't worry, thunder is just a natural sound and it won't hurt you. You are safe here.' + +Tom felt calmer after his mum said that.

Thank you." + +John smiled and said, "Anytime, Rex!" + +And ever since then, Rex and John have been the best of friends. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Jane.

"Mommy, I have to finish", he said. He ran up closer to the edge of the pond and stared at the alligator again. + +The alligator slowly made his way closer and closer to the shore. Jimmy grew a little afraid and slowly stepped back. The alligator reached the shore and opened his jaw wide. It was a scary sight! + +Suddenly, Jimmy heard loud clapping coming from the other side of the pond. He saw his mom and some other people all standing together, clapping their hands. He looked back to the alligator and saw that it was gone. + +Mom explained what had happened: "Someone gave the alligator a new home.

He asked his mom, "If I am brave and strong, can I have a dog then?". His mom said, "Maybe, but you need to prove it to me." + +So the boy got to work. He tried to do some hard things: he tried to carry big things and not be scared of the dark. He worked very hard and even though he was weak sometimes, he kept trying to be strong and brave. + +Finally, his mom was impressed. She saw that he was trying his best and she said, "Yes! You can have a dog. But only if you can take care of it and make sure it's healthy and happy." + +The boy was so excited! He thanked his mom and hugged her. He knew he could do it. He now had a new friend - a furry, little dog. He was so happy! +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Dakota and Justin. They were riding on their scooter and exploring the countryside. Justin loved engines, so he began to grab every engine he saw. Dakota kept telling him to stop, but Justin wouldn't listen. Eventually, a big engine came and Justin wanted to grab it too. + +This time, Dakota shouted, "No Justin! That engine is too big, you will get in trouble." Justin stubbornly grabbed the engine anyway. Suddenly, the engine started running and they had to jump off their scooter! Justin was scared and started to cry, but Dakota told him, "Let's just leave it." + +So they walked away and the engine calmed down. When they reached the top of the hill, they saw a beautiful, peaceful city with engines moving around. They both realized that grabbing the engine was wrong, and that it's much better to explore the world without taking away other people's things. + +Ever since then, Justin and Dakota have been happier friends and have been learning about the world and its engines, in peaceful ways! +Once upon a time there was a family with an adorable little girl called Daisy. Daisy was only three years old and she just loved playing on her mattress. Every day she would jump, roll and dance on the soft, bouncy mattress. + +It wasn't until one day when Daisy was happily jumping on her mattress, that a big glass of milk appeared. Daisy had never seen milk before and she asked her mom what it was. + +“That's milk sweetheart, would you like to try it?†asked Daisy's mom. + +But Daisy was scared and shook her head no. She didn't want to drink something she had never had before. + +“Come on, don't be scared. It's really yummy and it won't hurt you,†said Daisy's mom. + +Finally, after some reassuring from her mom, Daisy decided to be brave and she tasted the milk. At first, she found the taste a little weird but then she realised how yummy it was. + +So Daisy started drinking her milk every day, and soon it became her favourite drink. Daisy was so happy she had been brave enough to try something new and her mattress was now the place she drank her milk. +Once upon a time there was a deep pool. It glittered in the hot summer sun and sparkled blue like the sky. Suddenly something happened! A little girl appeared and she lay down by the edge of the pool. She was so excited to be there and wanted to splash in the pool. + +So she reached out with her little hands and touched the cool water. She then pushed her feet in and wiggled them around. She laid back and floated on the water, feeling how deep it was. Suddenly she was swimming! She went around and around, splashing and laughing. All the while, the deep pool glimmered and sparkled. + +After while the little girl got tired and lay down in the pool. She smiled to herself, having so much fun. Then, with a happy shout she rose up, got out and ran home. But all the way, she could feel the deep pool close by, waiting for her to come and play again. +Once there was a little boy named Pete. Pete lived in a small house with his mom. + +One day, Pete decided to go out and explore his backyard. He was really excited because he had never been out there before. He opened the back door and stepped into the yard. + +Pete saw a lot of things in his backyard: there were some trees, a swing, and a broken toy. He got really close to the broken toy and touched it. Suddenly, it fell apart! + +Pete's mom heard the noise and came out to see what happened. "What did you do, Pete?" she asked. Pete was very quiet and said nothing. + +Pete's mom hugged him and said, "It's ok. Let's leave the backyard, we can come back and clean it up later." + +So they went back inside the house. But Pete never forgot his first adventure in the backyard. He always talks about the broken toy that he found. +Once upon a time, there was a girl. Her name was Grace. Grace was playing outside on the grass. Suddenly, she saw a stack of ribbons near her. Grace wanted to play with the ribbons and tie them around her. But the stack was too high for her to reach. + +Grace was sad, but then she got an idea. She found a stick and tried to use it to tie the ribbons together. But no matter how hard she tried, the ribbons wouldn't stay tied. + +Then, Grace went inside the house. She found her dad's warm scarf and ran back to the stack of ribbons. She put the scarf around the stick and tried again to tie the ribbons. This time, it worked! Now, she could hold the ribbons and play with them. + +Grace was so happy! She tied the ribbons around her and danced around in the sun. From that day on, Grace loved playing with ribbons and making beautiful stacks of them. +John was a jolly little boy. He loved going on boats with his dad. Today they were out in the sea. + +John asked his dad, “What can I do?†+ +Dad smiled and said, “You can steer the boat.†+ +John was so excited. He said, “Okay!†+ +John started steering the boat but then it started to pull the other way. John was pulling back with all his might but it was too much for him. + +Suddenly, John’s dad screamed, “Let go of the wheel!†+John let go of the wheel and the boat stopped. Dad smiled and said, “That’s why it’s important to listen to your elders.†+ +John nodded and said, “Yes, dad. I’ll always listen.†+ +The moral of the story is that it is important to listen your elders - they can help us make good decisions. +Once there was a nice little boy named Joe. Joe loved to play in the park with his friends. One day, Joe was having so much fun playing that he started running around and didn't notice the puddle of water. He tripped and fell in it, getting all wet! + +Joe's mother saw what had happened and knew she had to take him to the hospital. She and Joe went straight there in the car. + +When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor asked Joe to sit down. Then he took out a special machine and put it on Joe's wet clothes. Joe asked his mom what was happening. She smiled and said, "The doctor is drying your clothes!" Joe was so surprised, but after some time his clothes were nice and dry again! + +Joe was very happy and thanked the doctor. The doctor smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad I could help." Joe said goodbye and went home with his mom. + +It was a nice day and Joe learned a valuable lesson - to be more careful. +Once upon a time, there were two sisters. The little sister was named Sarah, and the big sister was named Anna. One day, Anna saw Sarah playing outside with a rake. + +Anna asked Sarah, "What are you doing with the rake?" + +Sarah said, "I'm going to try to rake the leaves." + +Anna said, "You can't do that. You're too little." + +But Sarah insisted. She wanted to try. + +Anna thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, but only for a little bit. Then you have to come inside for lunch, because you're getting hungry." + +So Sarah kept raking the leaves, but after a little while, she was tired and decided to stop. + +Anna was proud of her, and said, "You did a great job, Sarah. You persisted and that's something to be proud of. But it's important on the days when something is too hard, to listen to your big sister and not be afraid to ask for help, that way you will be strong and achieve your goals." + +Sarah smiled, happy with what she accomplished, and they went inside to have lunch. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Bob. Bob wanted to find some fun clothes to wear, so he opened his wardrobe. It was very filthy inside! He looked through the clothes but none of them matched. + +Bob went to his mum to ask for help. "Mum, none of the clothes in my wardrobe match," he said. +Mum smiled and took him outside. "What do you think of this?" she said, pointing to a rainbow jumper. + + Bob's eyes lit up. "It matches perfectly!" he said. + +Mum smiled and hugged him. "Let's go and pick out some more fun clothes," she said. + +Bob was so happy to have found something that matched. From then on, he always found something that matched lovely clothes in his wardrobe. +Mama and Papa were very proud of their little girl. Every day she brought a smile to their face. But one day, their little girl was sad. + +"What's the matter?" asked Mama. + +Their little girl said, "My safe broke. Can you help me repair it?" + +Mama and Papa smiled and said, "Yes, of course we can help you." + +So, Mama and Papa worked together to repair their little girl's safe. When it was finished, the little girl was so happy. + +Mama hugged her and said, "We are so proud of you." + +The little girl smiled and said, "Thank you! Now I can keep all my special things inside the safe." + +Mama and Papa both hugged their little girl and said, "That is wonderful!" +It was a bright morning and friends Sally and Frank were getting ready. +Frank put on his uniform and said to Sally, "It's time to join the army! Do you have your uniform too?" +Sally nodded, "Yes, I do. I'm ready to go." +Frank smiled, "Let's join together! We must dress up in our uniforms and be patient." +Sally was excited and said, "Yay! Then let's go!" +So the two friends joined the army and proudly wore their uniforms. +The soldiers taught them many things and were very patient with them as they learned. +After a few weeks, Sally and Frank had learnt the drills and were ready to join their friends in the field. +They waved goodbye to the soldiers and thanked them for their help. +Now Sally and Frank are ready to join their friends to fight for their country! +One day, a little girl, named Lucy, was walking in the forest with her parents. It was getting dark and Lucy looked up at the sky and noticed that the stars were already out. "Look at the stars, Mommy," she said pointing upwards. + +Her mom and dad smiled and said, "Yes, that is nice." + +They kept walking until they heard a noise. Lucy was scared and hid behind her mom's legs while her dad looked around. Then they heard it again, it seemed to be coming from a tree. + +Her dad carefully stepped closer until he saw a big owl looking down at them. It had bright eyes that shone like two stars in the night. Lucy was scared, but her dad said it was ok. He said that they should move away because owls like to be alone. + +As they started walking away, Lucy realized that the owl must have been looking for food. She felt sad for the owl and asked if they could give it a present. Her mom and dad agreed, so they found a piece of bread on the ground and held it up for the owl to see. + +The owl flew down and picked up the present. She spread her beautiful wings and flew away into the night. Lucy smiled and realized that even in the dark, something good could come from it. +Once there was a three year old girl named Sarah. She was playing in the garden and picked up a hard shell. She ran to her mom and said, "Mommy, I found a hard shell." + +Her mom said, "That's nice, dear. Let me have a look." + +As she touched it, the hard shell suddenly opened and something jumped out. Sarah shouted "AHH!" and backed away. + +It was a small, spiky creature. Sarah's mom said,"It's ok, Sarah. It's just a little hedgehog." + +Sarah was very scared. The hedgehog was panicking and rolling around in circles. Suddenly, it started to prickle her skin. She cried out, "Mommy! It's pinching me!" + +Her mom jumped forward and grabbed the hedgehog. She yelled, "Let go, hedgehog! Let go!" She separated Sarah and the hedgehog and carefully returned it back to the shell. + +Sarah's mom said with a smile, "You must be careful, Sarah. You never know what surprises you may find in the garden." + +Sarah nodded, relieved that the hedgehog was back in its shell. She learned that you must always be careful with the things you find. +Sammy was anxious about making dinner for his family. He looked in the cupboard and saw some eggs. He decided to cook eggs for dinner. + +Sammy got out a pan, some butter and the eggs. He was clumsy with the butter, but he kept trying until he had enough in the pan. He cracked the eggs over the butter, and stirred them together. + +Sammy's mom came in the kitchen. She was wearing sunglasses, so Sammy couldn't tell what she was thinking. She said, "Sammy, that looks delicious." Sammy smiled, feeling relieved and proud. + +They finished cooking the eggs together and soon everyone was eating dinner.
