They put a bandage on his head and a mask on his face. They took him inside the ambulance and drove away. + +Mom and Lily followed the ambulance in their car. They prayed for Ben and hoped he would be okay. They wished they had played nicely and shared their toys. They learned a hard lesson that day. Pinching is not nice. It can hurt someone very badly. +Jen and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and has a loud bark. Jen and Sam are scared of the dog. + +"Let's run away!" Jen says to Sam. + +"No, we can't. The dog is blocking the pass. The pass is the way to go home." Sam says to Jen. + +"What can we do?" Jen asks. + +Sam thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He picks up a stick and throws it far away. The dog sees the stick and runs after it. + +"Quick, let's go!" Sam says to Jen. + +They run to the pass and cross it. They are safe. They hug each other and smile. + +"That was smart, Sam. You scared the dog away." Jen says. + +"Thank you, Jen. You are a pretty friend." Sam says. + +They walk home together, happy and brave. They are not scared of the dog anymore. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them go fast and make noises like motors. + +One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a picture of a car on it. They opened the box and saw many pieces of a car. They were curious and excited. + +"Look, Ben, we can make our own car!" Lily said. + +"Yes, let's do it!" Ben said. + +They took out the pieces and tried to put them together. They found the wheels, the doors, the seats, and the motor. They followed the instructions on the box. They worked hard and had fun. + +But then, they had a problem. They had one piece left, and they did not know where to put it. It was a long and thin piece, with a hook on one end and a hole on the other. + +"What is this?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a tail?" Lily guessed. + +"A tail? Cars don't have tails!" Ben said. + +"Maybe it is a snake?" Lily said. + +"A snake? Cars don't have snakes!" Ben said. + +They argued and got angry. They did not want to share the piece. They pulled and pulled, until the piece broke in half. They each had a part of the piece, but they were not happy. + +They looked at their car. It was almost done, but it was missing something. It did not look like the picture on the box. It did not look interesting. + +They felt sad and sorry. They wished they had not fought. They wished they had worked together. + +They put down their parts and hugged each other. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was mean to you, too," Lily said. + +They looked at the box again. They saw a small note on the bottom. It said: "This piece is a tow rope. You can use it to separate or connect your car to another car. Have fun!" + +They smiled and understood. They fixed their piece and attached it to their car. They found another car in their toy box and connected it to their car. They had made a car with a trailer. + +They were proud and happy. They played with their car and trailer. They made them go fast and make noises like motors. They had an interesting and fun day. +Tom and Lily were going to visit their grandma on the subway. They liked the subway because it was fast and loud and had many colors. They held their mom's hand as they walked to the station. + +"Look, mom, a big map!" Tom said, pointing to a wall with many lines and dots. He wanted to examine the map and see where they were going. + +"Wait, Tom, we have to buy tickets first," mom said, pulling him gently. "The map shows us the different subway routes. We are taking the blue line to grandma's house." + +Lily saw a machine that made noises and gave out tickets. She wanted to try it, but mom said it was only for grown-ups. She gave mom some money and mom pushed some buttons. The machine spat out three tickets. + +"Here, take your tickets and keep them safe," mom said, handing them to Tom and Lily. "We need them to enter and exit the subway." + +They walked to a gate that had a slot for the tickets. Mom showed them how to insert the tickets and walk through. They followed mom to a platform where many people were waiting. + +"Mom, when is the subway coming?" Lily asked, looking at the tracks. + +"Soon, honey, soon," mom said, hugging her. "You'll hear it and see it. It's very big and shiny." + +As they waited, they saw an elderly man sitting on a bench. He had a long beard and a hat and he was reading a book. Tom and Lily were curious about him and his book. + +"Hello, sir, what are you reading?" Tom asked, walking up to him. + +The elderly man looked up and smiled. He closed his book and showed them the cover. It had a picture of a dragon and a castle. + +"It's a story about a brave knight and a friendly dragon," he said. "Do you like stories?" + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Lily said together. + +"Would you like me to read you some?" the elderly man asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said, sitting next to him. + +Mom nodded and smiled. She was happy that they made a new friend. + +The elderly man opened his book and began to read. His voice was warm and gentle. Tom and Lily listened with wonder and excitement. They forgot about the subway and the time. They only wanted to hear more about the knight and the dragon. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a big panda that she loved very much. Ben had a small car that he liked to zoom around. Sara wanted to share her panda with Ben, but Ben did not want to play with it. He only wanted to play with his car. + +"Ben, look at my panda. It is so soft and cuddly. Do you want to hug it?" Sara asked. + +"No, thank you. I like my car better. It is fast and shiny. Go away, Sara." Ben said. + +Sara felt sad. She did not understand why Ben did not want to play with her panda. She tried to show him how fun it was to make the panda dance and sing, but Ben ignored her. He turned his back to her and drove his car on the floor. + +Sara felt angry. She thought Ben was being mean and rude. She decided to take his car and hide it behind the couch. She thought that would make him pay attention to her panda. + +"Hey, where is my car? Give it back, Sara!" Ben shouted. + +"No, I won't. You ignored my panda, so I took your car. Now you have to play with my panda." Sara said. + +"That's not fair. That's my car. You can't take it. Give it back, now!" Ben said. + +He ran to the couch and tried to find his car, but Sara was faster. She grabbed the car and ran to the other side of the room. Ben chased her, but he could not catch her. They both started to yell and cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Sara and Ben fighting over the car and the panda. She was not happy. + +"What is going on here? Why are you two fighting? Sara, why did you take Ben's car? Ben, why did you ignore Sara's panda?" Mom asked. + +Sara and Ben stopped and looked at Mom. They both felt sorry. They knew they had done something wrong. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I took Ben's car because he did not want to play with my panda. I wanted him to like it." Sara said. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I ignored Sara's panda because I only wanted to play with my car. I did not mean to hurt her feelings." Ben said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. + +"I'm glad you are sorry. But you know, you don't have to like the same toys to play together. You can share and take turns. You can also find other things that you both enjoy. How about we read a book about pandas and cars?" Mom suggested. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They gave each other their toys back and said sorry again. They followed Mom to the bookshelf and picked a book. They sat on the couch and listened to Mom read. They learned about pandas and cars and had fun. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big goose near the pond. The goose had white feathers and a long neck. It made loud noises and flapped its wings. + +"Let's go and feed the goose some bread," Ben said. He took a piece of bread from his bag and walked towards the goose. + +"No, Ben, don't do that!" Lily said. She was afraid of the goose. She thought the goose might bite or chase them. "The goose is not nice. It is mean and scary." + +Ben did not listen to Lily. He wanted to be brave and friendly. He smiled at the goose and threw the bread on the ground. The goose saw the bread and ran to it. It ate the bread quickly and looked at Ben. + +"See, Lily, the goose is not mean. It is hungry and humble. It likes bread and me," Ben said. He threw another piece of bread and the goose ate it too. + +Lily watched Ben and the goose. She saw that the goose did not bite or chase Ben. It only ate the bread and made soft noises. She felt sorry for being afraid of the goose. She wanted to be brave and friendly too. + +"Can I feed the goose too, Ben?" Lily asked. She took a piece of bread from her bag and walked towards Ben and the goose. + +"Sure, Lily, you can feed the goose too. The goose is nice. It will not hurt you. You can trust the goose," Ben said. He gave Lily a hug and they fed the goose together. The goose was happy and so were Lily and Ben. They made a new friend in the park. +Ben and Mia like to play with dough. They have many colors of dough and they make different shapes with it. Sometimes they make animals, sometimes they make cars, sometimes they make cakes. + +One day, they decide to make a big cake with all the colors of dough. They roll the dough and put it in a round pan. They use red dough for the frosting and yellow dough for the candles. They are very proud of their cake. + +They show their cake to their mom. She smiles and says, "What a beautiful cake! Can I have a slice?" + +Ben and Mia nod and cut a slice for their mom. They give it to her on a plate. She pretends to eat it and says, "Mmm, delicious! Thank you, Ben and Mia!" + +Ben and Mia are happy that their mom likes their cake. They want to eat some too. They take a bite of their slice. But they do not like it. The dough is hard and salty and not sweet at all. They make a face and spit it out. + +They realize that dough is not good for eating. It is only good for playing. They say, "Yuck! This is not a real cake! This is a dough cake!" + +Their mom laughs and says, "That's right. Dough is not food. It is fun. But you know what? I have a real cake for you in the kitchen. It is soft and sweet and yummy. Do you want some?" + +Ben and Mia say, "Yes, please!" They run to the kitchen and see a real cake on the table. It has chocolate frosting and sprinkles and real candles. They think it is the most interesting cake they have ever seen. They blow out the candles and eat the cake with their mom. They say, "This is the best cake ever! Thank you, mom!" + +Their mom hugs them and says, "You're welcome, Ben and Mia. I love you and your dough cake too." +Lily and Max are playing outside in the sun. They have a big lawn with many flowers and trees. Lily likes to smell the flowers and Max likes to climb the trees. They are very happy. + +"Look, Lily, I have a hose!" Max says. He turns on the water and sprays it everywhere. He laughs and runs around the lawn. + +"Max, stop it! You are soaking me!" Lily says. She is wet and cold. She does not like the hose. She hides behind a tree. + +"Come on, Lily, it is fun!" Max says. He chases Lily with the hose. He does not see the big rock on the lawn. He trips and falls. The hose flies out of his hand and lands on the flowers. + +"Oh no, Max, are you okay?" Lily says. She runs to Max and helps him up. He has a scratch on his knee. He cries a little. + +"I am sorry, Lily. I did not mean to soak you. And I did not mean to hurt the flowers. They are so beautiful." Max says. + +"It is okay, Max. I forgive you. And the flowers will be okay too. They like water. But not too much. Let us turn off the hose and go inside. Mom will give us a snack and a hug." Lily says. + +They turn off the hose and go inside. They leave the lawn sparkling with water and sun. The flowers smile and the trees wave. They are happy too. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play in the yard with their dog, Spot. Spot is big and fluffy and likes to run and jump. + +One day, Lily and Max are playing catch with Spot. They throw a ball and Spot runs to get it. But Spot does not see a rock in the yard. He trips on the rock and falls down. He makes a loud noise and does not get up. + +Lily and Max run to Spot. They see that his leg is hurt. It has a red spot and some blood. They are scared and sad. They want to help Spot. + +They rub Spot's head and tell him it is okay. They say they love him and he is a good dog. They go to get their mom. Mom comes and sees Spot. She says they need to go to the vet. The vet is a person who helps animals. + +Mom puts Spot in the car. Lily and Max go with her. They hold Spot and rub his back. They hope the vet can make him better. They do not want him to be hurt. They want him to play with them in the yard again. +Tom and Lily are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they want to make something new. They see some hangers in the closet. They think they can use them to make a big star. + +"Look, Lily, I have an idea!" Tom says. He takes a hanger and bends it into a point. "We can break the hangers and put them together like this." + +Lily likes Tom's idea. She takes another hanger and tries to bend it. But it is too hard. She pulls and pulls, but it does not break. + +"Tom, help me!" Lily says. She gives the hanger to Tom. Tom pulls and pulls, too. But the hanger does not break. It snaps back and hits Tom in the face. + +"Ow!" Tom cries. He drops the hanger and holds his nose. "That hurts!" + +Lily feels sorry for Tom. She hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" + +Tom nods. He wipes his tears and says, "I'm okay, Lily. But I don't want to play with hangers anymore. They are too hard to break." + +Lily agrees. She says, "Me too, Tom. Let's play with something else. Something soft and fun." + +They look around the room and see their teddy bears. They smile and pick them up. They hug their teddy bears and say, "We love our teddy bears. They are our original toys. They never hurt us." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their red ball. They are healthy and strong. They wear jackets with zippers to keep warm. + +One day, they go to the park with Mom. They see a big slide and a swing. They want to try them.

They have fun. They laugh and shout. + +But then, Lily feels something is wrong. She looks at her pocket. It is open. Her zipper is broken. Her ball is gone. She feels sad. She says, "Ben, I lost our ball. My zipper is broken. What can we do?" + +Ben looks at his pocket. His zipper is fine. His ball is still there. He feels sorry for Lily. He says, "Don't worry, Lily. We can share my ball. We can look for your ball later. Maybe someone found it and will give it back." + +Lily smiles. She hugs Ben. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I love you." + +Mom sees them. She is proud of them. She says, "You are good twins. You are kind and helpful. I love you too." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a red car and Sam has a blue truck. They trade toys sometimes. It is fun to try new things. + +One day, Tom and Sam go to the park. They bring their toys with them. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They leave their toys on the grass. They run to the slide. + +But they do not see a dog. The dog is hungry. The dog sees the toys. The dog thinks they are food.

They become friends. +Lily liked to help her mom clean the house. She had a small broom and a cloth to wipe the dust. She felt happy when her mom smiled and said, "You are a good helper, Lily." + +One day, her mom had a new blouse. It was white and had flowers on it. Lily thought it was very pretty and graceful. She wanted to wear it too. She asked her mom, "Can I try your blouse, please?" + +Her mom said, "No, Lily, this blouse is for grown-ups. It is too big and too delicate for you. You have your own clothes to wear. Maybe when you are older, you can have a blouse like this." + +Lily was sad. She really liked the blouse. She waited until her mom was busy in the kitchen. Then she sneaked into her mom's room and took the blouse from the closet. She put it on over her dress. It was very loose and long. She felt like a princess. + +She went to the living room and twirled around. She pretended she was dancing with a prince. She did not see the broom and the cloth on the floor. She tripped over them and fell down. The blouse got dirty and torn. Lily started to cry. + +Her mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Lily on the floor and the blouse ruined. She was angry and sad. She said, "Lily, what have you done? You disobeyed me and took my blouse. You made a mess and spoiled my blouse. How could you do this?" + +Lily felt sorry and scared. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to be like you. I wanted to wear your blouse. It was so pretty and graceful. I didn't mean to hurt it. Please don't be mad at me." + +Her mom sighed and hugged Lily. She said, "I know you didn't mean to hurt it, but you have to listen to me. You have to respect my things and ask before you touch them. You have to be careful and not play with things that are not for you. You have to learn from your mistakes and say sorry when you do something wrong. Do you understand, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry. I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's clean up this mess and see if we can fix the blouse. Maybe we can make something new out of it. Maybe we can make a blouse for you." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big animal with long ears and a fluffy tail. It was a rabbit. The rabbit was eating some grass. + +"Look, a rabbit!" Lily said. "Can we pet it?" + +Ben nodded. They walked slowly to the rabbit. The rabbit saw them and jumped away. + +"Come back, rabbit!" Ben called. "We just want to be your friends!" + +They followed the rabbit to a hole in the ground. The rabbit went inside the hole. Lily and Ben peeked inside. They saw many other rabbits. They were all different colors and sizes. + +"Wow, so many rabbits!" Lily said. "They are so cute!" + +One of the rabbits came out of the hole. It was brown and white. It looked at Lily and Ben with curious eyes. + +"Hello, little rabbit," Lily said softly. "What is your name?" + +The rabbit twitched its nose. It made a small sound. + +"I think it said hello," Ben said. "Can we give it something to eat?" + +Lily remembered she had a carrot in her backpack. She took it out and broke it in half. She gave one half to Ben and kept the other half. + +"Here, rabbit, have some carrot," Lily said. "It is tasty and good for you." + +The rabbit sniffed the carrot. It nibbled it with its teeth. It liked it very much. It made a happy sound. + +"Thank you, rabbit," Ben said. "Do you want some more?" + +The rabbit nodded. It took the other half of the carrot from Ben. It ate it quickly. It licked its lips. + +"You are welcome, rabbit," Lily said. "You are very sweet." + +The rabbit rubbed its head against Lily's hand. It wanted to say thank you. It liked Lily and Ben. They were nice to it. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They made a new friend. They played with the rabbit and the other rabbits. They had a lot of fun. They were happy. +Tom and Anna like to play in the garden. They dig and plant and water the flowers. Sometimes they find bugs and worms and snails. They put them in a jar and look at them. + +One day, they see a big envelope on the grass. It is dirty and wet and has a stamp on it. They wonder what is inside. They open the envelope and find a letter and a picture. The letter has many words they do not know. The picture is of a man and a woman and a baby. They smile and wear nice clothes. + +Tom and Anna turn the picture over and see more words. They try to read them. They sound out the letters. They say: "To Tom and Anna, from Grandma and Grandpa.

I shouldn't have pushed you. Are you okay?" Tim says. He walks to Sam. He hugs him. + +"Tim, I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have thrown the ball at you. My knee hurts. Can you help me?" Sam says. He hugs Tim back. + +"Of course, Sam. Come on, let's go inside. Mom can fix your knee. And then we can play together. Please, can we share the ball and the slide?" Tim says. + +"Okay, Tim. That sounds good. Please, can we also play in the sandbox?" Sam says. + +"Sure, Sam. We can play in the sandbox too. We are brothers. We love each other." Tim says. + +They hold hands. They go inside. Mom smiles. She sees them. She is happy. She fixes Sam's knee. She gives them a cookie. They say thank you. They go back to the backyard. They play with the ball, the slide and the sandbox. They have fun. They are friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found an ashtray in their dad's room. It was round and shiny and had some black stuff inside. They thought it was a cool toy and took it to their room. + +"Look, I can spin it like a top!" Tim said, and he put the ashtray on the floor and pushed it with his finger. The ashtray spun around and around, making a funny noise. + +"Let me try!" Sam said, and he grabbed the ashtray from Tim. He tried to spin it, but it fell down and made a loud clank. + +"Hey, give it back!" Tim said, and he kicked Sam in the leg. Sam kicked him back, and they started to fight over the ashtray. + +"Stop it, you two!" their mom said, and she came into their room. She saw the ashtray and was very angry. "Where did you get this? This is not a toy, this is a bad thing. It makes people sick and dirty. You should never touch it. And you should never kick each other. That is not nice. You should share and be kind to each other. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Sam nodded, feeling sorry and ashamed. They gave the ashtray back to their mom and hugged each other. They said they were sorry and that they loved each other. Their mom smiled and hugged them too. She said she loved them and that they should go to bed. They were very sleepy and tired from fighting. They went to bed and fell asleep, dreaming of nice toys and happy games. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. One day, they found a big skull in a hole. It was white and hard and had big teeth. Tim wanted to touch it, but Sam was scared. + +"Maybe it is a monster skull," Sam said. "Maybe it will bite us." + +Tim laughed. "Don't be silly, Sam. It is just a bone. I want to choose it for our game. We can pretend it is a powerful dragon and we are knights." + +Sam shook his head. "No, Tim. I don't want to play with it. It is creepy and dirty. Let's choose something else. Look, there is a shiny rock over there. We can pretend it is a magic jewel and we are wizards." + +Tim frowned. He liked the skull more than the rock. He thought it was cool and fun. He did not want to leave it in the hole. He wanted to take it home and show it to mom and dad. + +"Come on, Sam. Don't be a baby. The skull is better than the rock. It is more powerful and more fun. Let's choose it and play with it." + +Sam shook his head again. He did not like the skull at all. He thought it was scary and gross. He wanted to stay away from it. He wanted to play with the rock instead. + +"Tim, please. The rock is better than the skull. It is more shiny and more pretty. Let's choose it and play with it." + +Tim and Sam could not agree. They both wanted to choose different things. They started to argue and yell. They did not want to share or compromise. They did not want to play together anymore. + +The skull and the rock did not care. They stayed in the hole and waited for someone else to find them. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and worms. They had a big shovel and a small shovel. Ben had the big shovel and Lily had the small shovel. + +"Look, Ben, I found a root!" Lily said. She held up a long, brown thing that was twisted and hairy. "What is it for?" + +Ben looked at the root and scratched his head. He did not know what it was for. He thought for a moment and then said, "Maybe it is for making food. Maybe we can cook it and eat it." + +Lily made a face. She did not think the root looked tasty. She said, "No, thank you. I do not want to eat the root. Maybe we can make something else with it. Maybe we can make a necklace or a bracelet." + +Ben nodded. He liked the idea of making something with the root. He said, "Okay, let's make a necklace. We can cut the root into pieces and tie them together with a string." + +They got a pair of scissors and a string from the house. They cut the root into small pieces and tied them together. They made a necklace that was long and brown. They were very proud of their necklace. + +They put the necklace around Lily's neck and admired it. They said, "Wow, we made a necklace with a root! We are very clever!" + +They played with the necklace for a while. Then they felt tired. They had been digging and cutting and tying for a long time. They said, "Let's go inside and rest. We can show Mom and Dad our necklace later." + +They put the shovel and the scissors and the string back in the house. They washed their hands and faces. They went to their room and lay down on their beds. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of roots and necklaces and bugs and worms. They were happy. +Lily liked to play with her fan. It was pink and had flowers on it. She could make it spin and make a breeze. She felt cool and happy. + +One day, she took her fan to the park. She wanted to show it to her friend Ben.

Lily and Ben were scared. They ran away from the dog. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +A man heard them. He was tall and strong. He had a blue shirt and a hat. He looked attractive. He ran to the dog and grabbed its collar. He pulled the dog away from Lily and Ben. + +"Are you OK?" he asked them. + +"Yes, thank you!" Lily and Ben said. + +"You're welcome. I'm sorry about the dog. He's not mean, he's just playful. But he shouldn't chase children. I'll take him home and teach him to behave." the man said. + +He smiled and waved at them. He walked away with the dog. + +Lily and Ben were relieved. They hugged each other. + +"You saved us!" Lily said to the man. + +"You saved my fan!" Ben said to Lily. + +They laughed and played with the fan. They were happy and grateful. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals in the farm.

It is a fox! + +The fox sees Lily and Tom. It is angry and hungry. It wants to eat the eggs and the chickens. It growls and runs towards them. + +Lily and Tom are scared. They scream and run away. They call for help. + +"Help! Help! There is a fox in the chicken coop!" + +The farmer hears them. He runs to the chicken coop. He sees the fox. He has a stick. He hits the fox with the stick.

You are brave and smart. You saved the chickens and the eggs. You are good friends to the farm." + +Lily and Tom are happy too. They hug the farmer. They hug each other. They are glad that nothing bad happened to the chickens. They are glad that the fox is gone. They are glad that they are friends. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big fire in a trash can. The fire was making a lot of smoke and noise. Ben and Lily were curious and wanted to see the fire closer. + +"Let's go to the fire, Lily. It looks fun!" Ben said. + +"No, Ben. Fire is dangerous. It can hurt us and make us sick. We should stay away from the fire and tell a grown-up." Lily said. + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran to the fire and picked up a stick. He wanted to poke the fire with the stick. He thought it would be a game. + +Lily followed Ben and tried to stop him. She was scared for Ben and for herself. She saw a man walking by with a dog. She called to the man for help. + +"Sir, sir, please help us! There is a fire and my brother is playing with it!" Lily shouted. + +The man heard Lily and saw the fire. He quickly ran to the fire and took the stick from Ben. He threw the stick away and moved Ben and Lily away from the fire. He used his phone to call the firemen. + +"Are you okay, kids? Fire is very dangerous. You should never play with fire or go near it. You could get burned or start a bigger fire. You are lucky I saw you and helped you." The man said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were sorry and ashamed. They thanked the man and his dog. They hugged each other and promised to never play with fire again. They learned that fire is not a toy and that they should listen to their sister or brother when they offer good advice. +Tom and Lily love to ride their bikes. They have red bikes with big wheels and bells. They ride in the park with their mom and dad. They see ducks, flowers and trees. They have fun. + +"Look, mom, I can ride fast!" Tom says. He rings his bell and smiles. + +"Be careful, Tom. Don't go too far," mom says. + +"I can ride fast, too!" Lily says. She tries to catch up with Tom. She rings her bell and laughs. + +"Good job, Lily. You are a good rider," dad says. + +They ride for a long time. Then the sun starts to go down. The sky is bright with many colors. Pink, orange, yellow and purple. + +"Wow, look at the sky. It is so pretty," Lily says. + +"Yes, it is. It is time to go home," mom says. + +"Okay, mom. Can we ride again tomorrow?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe, if the weather is nice. Now, let's go home and have dinner," dad says. + +They ride back to their home. They put their bikes in the garage. They wash their hands and faces. They sit at the table and eat. They are happy. They had a good day. +Lila and Ben are at the beach with their mom and dad. They like to play in the sand and look for shells. Lila sees a big wave and points to it. "Look, Ben, surf!" she says. + +Ben looks at the wave and frowns. He does not like the water. It is cold and wet and loud. He shakes his head. "No, Lila, no surf. I want to stay here." + +Lila tries to pull Ben by the hand. "Come on, Ben, it is fun. We can splash and jump and swim. Mom and dad are there too. They will help us." + +Ben pulls his hand away. He sees a furry dog running on the shore. He likes dogs. They are soft and warm and friendly. He runs after the dog. "Dog, dog, come here!" he calls. + +Lila watches Ben run away. She feels sad. She wants to play with Ben. She looks at the wave again. It is big and blue and shiny. She wants to surf. She runs to the water. "Surf, surf, here I come!" she shouts. +Tom is sick and has to go to the hospital. He does not like the hospital. It is big and loud and smells funny. He wants to go home and play with his toys. + +But the nurse is nice to Tom. She smiles and talks to him. She gives him a sticker and a juice box. She tells him he will feel better soon. + +"Can I tell you a joke?" Tom asks the nurse. He likes jokes. They make him laugh. + +"Sure, I love jokes. What is your joke?" the nurse says. + +Tom thinks hard. He remembers a joke his dad told him. He says, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" + +The nurse waits. She knows this joke. She says, "I don't know. Why did the chicken cross the road?" + +Tom says, "To get to the other side!" + +The nurse laughs. She says, "That's a good joke, Tom. You are very funny." + +Tom feels happy. He likes the nurse. He says, "Thank you. Do you have a joke for me?" + +The nurse thinks. She says, "How about this one? What do you call a fish that wears glasses?" + +Tom says, "I don't know. What do you call a fish that wears glasses?" + +The nurse says, "A see-fish!" + +Tom laughs. He says, "That's a funny joke, too. You are very clever." + +The nurse says, "Thank you. You are very smart." + +Tom and the nurse joke and talk for a while. Tom feels better.

They are not toys! They are our pictures!" + +The dog does not listen. He thinks they are playing. He runs faster and farther. + +Lily and Ben chase the dog. They run and run. They want their pastels and paper back. They are tired and scared. They do not know where the dog is going. + +They see a lady. The lady is nice and kind. She has a leash. She sees the dog. She knows the dog. She calls the dog. + +"Rex, come here! What are you doing? Drop that!" + +The dog hears the lady. He knows the lady. He is her pet. He stops running. He drops the pastels and paper. He goes to the lady. He wags his tail. + +Lily and Ben catch up. They see their pastels and paper. They are dirty and torn. They are sad and disappointed. They cannot draw anymore. + +The lady sees Lily and Ben. She sees their pastels and paper. She understands what happened. She is sorry and sorry. She says to Lily and Ben. + +"I'm so sorry, kids. Rex did not mean to hurt your pastels and paper. He is a good dog, but he is very playful. He thought they were toys. He did not know they were your pictures. Can I help you?" + +Lily and Ben look at the lady. They look at the dog. The dog looks at them. He licks his lips. He does not look mean. He looks sorry too. + +Lily and Ben are still sad, but they are not angry anymore. They say to the lady. + +"It's okay, lady. We know Rex is a good dog. But we are sad.

Why don't you come with me to my house? I have more pastels and paper. You can draw new pictures. And Rex can watch. He will not touch them. He will learn. What do you say?" + +Lily and Ben think. They like the idea. They say to the lady. + +"Thank you, lady. That is very nice of you. We would like to come with you. And we would like to be friends with Rex. He is a good dog." + +The lady nods. She takes the leash. She holds Rex. She holds Lily and Ben's hands. They walk to her house. They are happy and hopeful. They will draw new pictures. They will make new friends. They will have fun. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys on the rug. They had many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books, and more. They liked to keep their toys organized. They put each toy in a different basket or box. + +"Look, Lily, I made a tower with the blocks!" Tom said. He was proud of his tower. It was very tall and colorful. + +"Wow, Tom, your tower is amazing!" Lily said. She wanted to see it better. She crawled closer to the tower. She reached out her hand to touch it. + +But she reached too far. She bumped the tower with her hand. The tower fell down. The blocks made a loud noise. Tom and Lily were shocked. + +"Oh no, Lily, you broke my tower!" Tom said. He was sad and angry. He liked his tower. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't mean to!" Lily said. She was sorry and scared. She didn't want Tom to be mad at her. + +Tom looked at Lily. He saw her big eyes and her tears. He felt sorry for her too. He remembered that Lily was his sister and his friend. + +"It's okay, Lily, don't cry," Tom said. He gave her a hug. "We can build another tower together." + +"Really, Tom? Thank you!" Lily said.

One day, Mom says they need to go to the store. Jen and Tom are happy. They like to see new things at the store. + +Mom puts them in the car and drives to the store. She gives them each a small cart to push. They follow Mom and help her find the things she needs. They see bread, milk, eggs, cheese, and more. Jen and Tom put them in their carts. + +Then they come to the fruit and vegetable section. Mom says they need to get some broccoli. Jen and Tom do not like broccoli. They think it is green and yucky.

Tim asks. + +"Sure, we have some time before we meet Grandma," Mom says. "Let's buy some tickets and find the platform." + +They go down the stairs and see a lot of people.

"It is long and shiny and loud." + +They hear a beep and see the doors open. They go inside and find some seats. The subway starts to move. It goes fast and makes a lot of noise.

They think it is easy and fun. They want to ride it again. They run to the park and hug Grandma. They tell her about their adventure. Grandma smiles and listens. She is proud of them. She gives them cookies and juice. They have a good day. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins or buttons or shells. But today they found something very special. It was a small, clear stone that sparkled in the sun. It was a diamond! + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna said, holding the diamond in her hand. "It's so pretty!" + +"Let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the diamond. "I want to hold it too!" + +"No, it's mine!" Anna said, pulling the diamond away. "I found it first!" + +They started to fight over the diamond. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog was black and furry and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and jumped on them. It wanted the diamond too! + +Anna and Ben were fearful. They screamed and dropped the diamond. The dog grabbed it in its mouth and ran away. Anna and Ben were left in the sand, crying and dirty. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry. They had been mean and greedy. They had lost their diamond and their fun. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "You can have the diamond if we find it again." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Anna said. "You can hold it too if we find it again." + +They hugged and made up. They decided to look for the dog and the diamond. They wondered where it had gone. They hoped they could get it back. They learned to share and be kind. +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play and share, but sometimes they fought. One day, their mom made a big cake for their birthday. It was yellow and pink, with sprinkles and candles. + +"Wow, what a nice cake!" Lily said. "Can we have some now, mom?" + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for dad and grandma to come. Then we can sing and cut the cake," mom said. + +Lily and Tom waited in the living room. They played with their toys and books, but they were hungry and bored. They looked at the cake on the table. It smelled so good. + +"I want some cake now," Tom said. "Just a little bit. Mom won't notice." + +"No, Tom. We have to wait. It's not fair to eat the cake before everyone else," Lily said. + +"But I'm hungry. And it's our birthday. We should have some cake," Tom said. He got up and walked to the table. + +Lily followed him. She saw him reach for the knife. She tried to stop him. + +"Tom, don't! You'll ruin the cake!" she said. + +Tom ignored her. He cut a big slice of cake and put it on a plate. He licked his lips and smiled. + +"Yum, yum. This is the best cake ever," he said. + +Lily was angry and sad. She saw the hole in the cake. It looked pale and ugly. She felt tears in her eyes. + +"Tom, you're so mean! You spoiled the cake! Mom will be mad at you!" she said. + +Tom shrugged. He didn't care. He ate the cake and made a mess. + +"Who cares? It's just cake. And it's delicious. Do you want some?" he said. + +He offered the plate to Lily. He hoped she would accept and stop crying. + +Lily looked at the plate. She saw the crumbs and the frosting. She felt hungry and tempted. But she also felt hurt and betrayed. + +She shook her head. She pushed the plate away. + +"No, thank you. I don't want your cake. You're a bad brother. I don't like you," she said. + +She ran to the couch and buried her face in a pillow. She sobbed and waited for mom to come. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. They see a big hill with a flag on top. They want to climb the hill and see the flag. + +"Let's go to the flag, Ben!" Lila says. "Maybe we can see the west from there." + +"What is the west, Lila?" Ben asks. + +"The west is where the sun goes when it is night. It is very far and pretty. My mom told me." Lila says. + +They start to climb the hill. It is hard and steep. They hold hands and help each other. They see rocks and flowers and bugs. They are almost at the top when they hear a loud noise. + +"Boom!" It is thunder. They look up and see dark clouds. It is going to rain. + +"Oh no, Ben! We have to go back! It is not safe here!" Lila says. + +They turn around and run down the hill. They are scared and wet. They see a big tree. They run to the tree and hide under it. + +"Are you okay, Lila?" Ben asks. + +"I am okay, Ben. Are you okay?" Lila asks. + +"I am okay, Lila. But I am cold and wet." Ben says. + +They hug each other and shiver. They see a flash of light. It is lightning. It strikes the flag on the hill. The flag burns and falls. + +"Wow, Lila! Did you see that? The lightning struck the flag!" Ben says. + +"I saw that, Ben. It was scary and loud. The flag is gone." Lila says. + +They hear a voice. It is Lila's mom. She is looking for them. + +"Lila! Ben! Where are you?" She calls. + +"Here, mom! Here!" Lila and Ben shout. + +Lila's mom sees them under the tree. She runs to them and hugs them. + +"Thank goodness, you are safe! What are you doing here? It is stormy and dangerous!" She says. + +"We wanted to see the flag, mom. We wanted to see the west. But the storm came and the lightning struck the flag. We were scared, mom." Lila says. + +"I am sorry, Lila. I know you were curious. But you should not go to the hill when it is stormy. It is not useful. It is risky. You could get hurt. You should stay close to me and listen to me. I love you and I want you to be safe." Lila's mom says. + +"I am sorry, mom. I love you too. I will listen to you next time." Lila says. + +Lila's mom smiles and kisses them. She wraps them in a blanket and takes them to the car. She drives them home. They are warm and dry. They are happy and safe. They learned a lesson. They will not go to the hill when it is stormy. They will wait for a sunny day. Then they will try to see the west again. Maybe they will see the flag too. +Sam likes to play chess with his dad. Chess is a game with black and white pieces that move on a board. Sam knows how to move the pieces and tries to catch his dad's king. His dad is very good at chess and teaches Sam new tricks. + +One day, Sam and his dad are playing chess in the living room. Sam is very focused and wants to win. He moves his queen and says "check". His dad smiles and says "good move, Sam". But then, Sam hears a loud noise from outside. He looks out the window and sees a big truck. The truck is very noisy and makes Sam's ears hurt. He does not like the truck. + +Sam wants the truck to go away. He says "shoo, shoo, truck". But the truck does not listen. It keeps making noise and blowing smoke. Sam gets angry and starts to cry. He does not want to play chess anymore. He throws his pieces on the floor and runs to his mom. He says "mom, make the truck stop". + +His mom hugs him and says "it's okay, Sam. The truck is just doing its job. It will leave soon. Don't be mad at the truck. It does not know you are playing chess". She takes him to the kitchen and gives him a glass of milk and a cookie. She says "why don't you calm down and then go back to your dad? He is waiting for you to finish the game". + +Sam drinks his milk and eats his cookie. He feels better. He says "sorry, mom. I was rude to the truck". His mom says "that's okay, Sam. I'm glad you are sorry. Now, go and say sorry to your dad too. He loves you and wants to play with you". Sam nods and goes back to the living room. He sees his dad picking up the pieces and setting up the board. He says "sorry, dad. I was mad at the truck. Can we play again?". His dad says "of course, Sam. I'm happy you are back. Let's play again. And don't worry about the truck. It will be gone soon". He gives Sam a hug and a kiss. They sit down and resume their game. Sam manages to checkmate his dad and wins. He says "yay, I did it". His dad says "well done, Sam. You are a smart and brave chess player". They both laugh and clap. They are happy. The truck leaves and the noise stops. The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big green slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Anna says. + +"OK!" Ben says. + +They run to the slide. Anna goes first. She sits on the seat and slides down. Whee! She is happy. She laughs. + +"Your turn!" Anna says to Ben. + +Ben sits on the seat and slides down. But he sees something on the slide. It is cheese! Someone left cheese on the slide. Ben slides on the cheese. He is sticky. He is not happy. He cries. + +"Who put cheese on the slide?" Ben says. + +"I don't know," Anna says. "But don't cry. I have a napkin. I can help you." + +Anna takes out a napkin from her pocket. She wipes the cheese off Ben. Ben feels better. He smiles. + +"Thank you, Anna," Ben says. + +"You're welcome, Ben," Anna says. "Let's go play somewhere else. Maybe we can find more cheese. But not on the slide!" + +They hold hands and run to the swings. They are friends. They are happy. +Lila liked to dance. She was graceful and fast. She wore a purple dress with shiny beads.

He said it was ugly. + +He grabbed her dress and pulled. He tried to remove it. He wanted to make her sad. Lila was scared and angry. She shouted and cried. She did not want to lose her dress. + +Her mom heard her. She ran to her. She pushed the boy away. She hugged Lila. She said, "It's okay, my love. Your dress is beautiful. Don't let him hurt you. He is wrong." + +Lila felt better. She thanked her mom. She put her dress back on. She did not care about the boy. She cared about her mom and her dance. She was graceful and fast. She wore a purple dress with shiny beads. She felt like a princess. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play games. Sometimes they are competitive. They want to win. + +One day, they play hide and seek. Tim is the seeker. He counts to ten. Sam runs to hide. He finds a big box. He gets inside. He thinks Tim will not find him. + +Tim looks for Sam. He checks under the bed. He checks behind the sofa. He checks in the closet. He cannot find Sam. He is confused. + +He sees the big box. He thinks it is empty. He kicks the box. He hears a cry. He opens the box. He sees Sam. Sam has a hurt leg. + +"Ow! Why did you kick me?" Sam asks. + +"I did not know you were in the box. I thought you disappeared. I am sorry. Are you okay?" Tim says. + +"My leg is sore. But I am okay. You found me. You win," Sam says. + +Tim helps Sam out of the box. He hugs him. He says he is sorry again. He says he loves him. + +They go to their mom. She puts a band-aid on Sam's leg. She gives them cookies. They are happy. They are not competitive anymore.

It barks and growls. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Jen asks Tom. + +"No, we can't. The dog is angry. It might bite us," Tom says. + +But Jen does not listen. She runs to the dog. She wants to hug the dog. The dog does not like that. It snaps at Jen. Jen screams and falls down. The dog jumps on Jen. It bites her arm. + +Tom is scared. He wants to help Jen. He picks up a stick. He hits the dog with the stick. The dog lets go of Jen. It runs away. + +Tom carries Jen to his mom. His mom is sitting on a bench. She is reading a book. She sees Tom and Jen. She sees the blood on Jen's arm. She is shocked. + +"What happened?" she asks. + +"A dog bit Jen. It was a bad dog. I hit it with a stick," Tom says. + +"Oh no! We have to go to the hospital. Jen needs a doctor. She might get sick," his mom says. + +She takes Jen from Tom. She puts her in the car. She drives to the hospital. Tom goes with them. He is sad. He is sorry for Jen. He hopes she will be okay. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to climb the trees and swing on the branches. They found a big branch that was shiny and smooth. Tom said, "Look, this branch is so nice. I want to polish it and make it more shiny." + +Lily said, "No, Tom, don't do that. That is a stupid idea. The branch is already shiny enough. If you polish it, you will make it slippery and fall off." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He said, "You are silly, Lily. I know how to polish things. I will use this cloth and rub the branch hard. Then it will be the best branch ever." He took a cloth from his pocket and started to polish the branch. + +Lily watched Tom and shook her head. She said, "Tom, stop it. You are making a mistake. The branch is not safe. You will hurt yourself." But Tom did not stop. He polished the branch faster and faster. He said, "Look, Lily, look how shiny the branch is. It is so pretty. I am the best polisher in the world." + +Tom was so proud of his work that he did not notice that the branch was getting very slippery. He tried to swing on the branch, but his hands slipped and he lost his grip. He fell off the branch and landed on the ground. He hit his head and his arm and started to cry. Lily ran to him and tried to help him. She said, "Tom, Tom, are you okay? I told you not to polish the branch. You were stupid and now you are hurt." + +Tom was not okay. He had a big bump on his head and a broken arm. He was in a lot of pain and he was very sorry. He said, "Lily, you were right. I was stupid. I should have listened to you. I am sorry. Please forgive me." Lily said, "I forgive you, Tom, but you have to be more careful next time. Polishing branches is not a good game. Come on, let's go to the nurse and get you fixed." She helped Tom get up and they walked to the nurse. Tom learned his lesson and never polished branches again. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a stream near the woods. They wanted to cross it. + +"Look, a stream!" Lily said. "Can we go over it?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "It looks deep and fast." + +"Let's try," Lily said. "We can stretch our legs and jump." + +Lily and Tom walked to the edge of the stream. They saw some rocks and sticks. They thought they could use them to help them jump. + +"Ready?" Lily asked. + +"Ready," Tom said. + +They stretched their legs and jumped. But the stream was too wide and too strong. They missed the rocks and sticks. They fell into the water. + +"Help!" Lily cried. "Help!" + +Tom tried to grab her hand. But the water pushed them apart. They were scared and cold. They could not swim. + +The stream carried them away. They could not see each other. They could not see the land. They could not hear anything but the water. + +They never got out of the stream. They never saw their friends or families again. They never played outside again. The stream was red with their blood. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with paper. They cut paper, fold paper, and draw on paper. They make paper animals, paper hats, and paper planes. + +One day, they find a big paper in the park. It is white and smooth. They are very happy. They want to make something with the paper. + +"What do you want to make?" Lily asks Ben. + +"I want to make a paper dog," Ben says. "I like dogs. They are adorable and friendly." + +"I want to make a paper cat," Lily says. "I like cats. They are adorable and soft." + +They start to cut and fold the paper. They make ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and tail. They use crayons to color the paper. They make a paper dog and a paper cat. + +They are very proud of their paper animals. They show them to each other. + +"Your paper dog is very cute," Lily says. "What is his name?" + +"His name is Spot," Ben says. "He has a spot on his eye. What is your paper cat's name?" + +"Her name is Fluffy," Lily says. "She has fluffy fur. Do you want to play with them?" + +"Yes, I do," Ben says. "Let's pretend they are our pets. We can take them for a walk, feed them, and cuddle them." + +They have a lot of fun with their paper animals. They are very happy. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the sand near the sea. They made castles and tunnels and bridges with their buckets and shovels. One day, they saw something shiny and round in the water. They ran to see what it was. + +It was a big shell with many colors. Tom picked it up and showed it to Lily. They heard a noise inside the shell. They opened it carefully and saw a small octopus. The octopus had eight arms and two big eyes. It looked scared and sad. + +Tom and Lily wanted to help the octopus. They put it in a bucket with some water and sand. They gave it some seaweed and rocks to play with. They named it Ollie and talked to it softly. Ollie liked Tom and Lily. He waved his arms and blinked his eyes. He was happy and safe. + +Tom and Lily took Ollie home and showed him to their mom and dad. They told them how they found him in the shell and how they took care of him. Their mom and dad were proud of them. They said they were kind and reliable. They said Ollie could stay with them for a while, but they had to return him to the sea someday. + +Tom and Lily agreed. They loved Ollie, but they knew he belonged to the sea. They played with him every day and learned more about him. They discovered he could change colors and squirt water and make funny noises. They had a lot of fun with Ollie. They were happy and grateful. +Tim and Anna like to play in the big garden. They see many flowers, bugs and birds. They also see a big tree with a ladder. They want to climb the tree and see what is up there. + +"Can we go up the ladder, please?" Tim asks his mom. + +"Okay, but be careful and don't go too high," mom says. "I will watch you from here." + +Tim and Anna run to the ladder and start to climb. They feel happy and excited. They see more and more leaves and branches as they go up. They hear a funny sound. + +"What is that?" Anna asks. + +"Let's find out," Tim says. + +They reach the top of the ladder and look around. They see a big nest with four eggs. They also see a bird with blue feathers and a yellow beak. The bird is sitting on the eggs and making the funny sound. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tim says. + +"It's a bird and her babies!" Anna says. + +The bird sees them and stops making the sound. She looks at them with her black eyes. She does not seem scared or angry. She seems curious and friendly. + +"Hello, bird," Tim says. + +"Hello, kids," the bird says. + +Tim and Anna are surprised. They did not know that birds can talk. + +"How can you talk?" Anna asks. + +"I can talk because I am a magic bird," the bird says. "I live in this tree and I watch over the garden. I make sure that everything is healthy and happy." + +"That's amazing," Tim says. "Can we be your friends?" + +"Of course, you can," the bird says. "You are very nice and brave. You can come and visit me anytime. But don't tell anyone else about me. I am a secret." + +"Okay, we won't tell anyone," Anna says. "You are our secret friend." + +The bird smiles and nods. She reveals a shiny feather from under her wing and gives it to Tim and Anna. + +"This is a gift for you," she says. "It will bring you good luck and joy. But remember, it is also a secret." + +"Thank you, bird," Tim and Anna say. They take the feather and put it in their pockets. + +They say goodbye to the bird and climb down the ladder. They run to their mom and hug her. + +"Did you have fun?" mom asks. + +"Yes, we did," Tim and Anna say. "We saw a bird and her eggs. They were very pretty." + +"That's nice," mom says. "But it's time to go home now. Come on, let's go." + +Tim and Anna follow their mom. They smile and wink at each other. They have a secret that no one else knows. They have a magic bird friend. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big car in the parking lot. The car is shiny and has four doors. It looks like a luxury car. + +"Wow, look at that car!" Ben says. "It is so nice. I wish I had a car like that." + +"Me too," Anna says. "But we are too little to drive. Maybe when we are big, we can have a car like that." + +They walk closer to the car. They see a man and a woman inside. The man and the woman are talking on their phones. They do not see Anna and Ben. + +"Let's touch the car," Ben says. He is curious. He wants to feel the car. + +"No, Ben, don't do that," Anna says. She is careful. She knows that touching other people's things is not good. "The man and the woman will be mad. They will yell at us." + +But Ben does not listen. He is careless. He reaches out his hand and touches the car. He leaves a smudge on the door. + +Suddenly, the man and the woman see Ben. They stop talking on their phones. They look angry. + +"Hey, you, get away from my car!" the man shouts. He opens the door and gets out. He walks towards Ben. + +Ben is scared. He runs away. He drops his hat on the ground. + +"Ben, wait for me!" Anna shouts. She runs after Ben. She does not want to leave him alone. + +The man and the woman look at the hat. They see Ben's name on it. + +"Ben, huh?" the woman says. "What a careless kid. He should learn some manners." + +"I agree," the man says. "He should not touch other people's luxury cars. He could scratch them or dent them." + +They get back in the car. They drive away. + +Anna and Ben hide behind a tree. They are out of breath. They are glad that the man and the woman are gone. + +"Ben, that was not smart," Anna says. "You should not have touched the car. You could have gotten in trouble." + +"I know, I know," Ben says. "I am sorry. I was just curious. I wanted to see the car." + +"Well, next time, be more careful," Anna says. "And listen to me. I am your friend. I recommend you to do the right thing." + +"Okay, okay," Ben says. "You are right. You are a good friend. I will listen to you next time." + +They hug each other. They are still friends. They go back to the park. They play with their toys. They have fun. They forget about the car. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with puzzles. Puzzles have many pieces that fit together. They make a picture when you solve them. + +One day, Lila and Tom find a new puzzle. It is very big and has many pieces. The pieces are pink and white. The picture is of a castle. Lila and Tom want to solve the puzzle. + +They start to look for the pieces that have edges. They put them on the floor. They make the frame of the puzzle. Then they look for the pieces that have parts of the castle. They put them inside the frame. + +But some pieces are missing. Lila and Tom cannot find them. They look under the table, behind the sofa, in the box. They cannot see them. + +"Where are the pieces?" Lila asks. + +"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe they are lost." + +Lila and Tom are sad. They want to finish the puzzle. They think hard. They are intelligent. They have an idea. + +"Maybe the pieces are not pink and white," Lila says. "Maybe they are another color." + +"Maybe you are right," Tom says. "Let's look for other colors." + +They look again. They find some pieces that are blue and green. They are the sky and the grass. They fit in the puzzle. They find some pieces that are yellow and brown. They are the sun and the door. They fit in the puzzle. + +They find all the pieces. They solve the puzzle. They see the whole picture. It is a beautiful castle. Lila and Tom are happy. They smile and hug. + +"We did it!" Lila says. + +"We are so clever!" Tom says. + +They are proud of themselves. They like to solve puzzles. They are good friends. +Anna liked to play with her yellow duck in the bath. She made the duck swim and splash and quack. She also liked to soak her hair and make bubbles with the soap. She had a lot of fun in the water. + +But one day, her yellow duck was gone. She looked everywhere in the bathroom, but she could not find it. She asked her mom and dad, but they did not know where it was. She felt very sad and troubled. She did not want to take a bath without her yellow duck. + +She cried and cried until her mom came to hug her. She told her that maybe the duck was hiding somewhere. She said they could look for it together after the bath. She also said she had a surprise for her. She gave her a new toy to play with in the bath. It was a green frog that could squirt water. + +Anna stopped crying and smiled. She liked the green frog. She thanked her mom and gave her a kiss. She took the frog to the bath and made it squirt water at the duck. She pretended they were friends. She soaked her hair and made bubbles with the soap. She had a lot of fun in the water again. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big box. They make a shop with the box. They use leaves and sticks and stones to make food. + +"Hello, welcome to our shop!" Lily says to Tom. "What do you want to eat?" + +"I want a leaf sandwich and a stone cake, please," Tom says. + +"OK, that will be two sticks, please," Lily says. She takes the sticks from Tom and puts them in a cup. She serves him the food on a big leaf. + +"Thank you, Lily. This is yummy!" Tom says. He pretends to eat the food. + +They play for a long time. They serve food to their toys and to each other. They have fun. + +But then they hear a bell. It is time to go home. They pack their box and their toys. They look at the park. It is messy. There are leaves and sticks and stones everywhere. + +"Oh no, we have to tidy the park," Lily says. "We can't leave it like this." + +"You are right, Lily. We have to be good and help the town," Tom says. + +They work together. They pick up the leaves and sticks and stones. They put them in a pile. They make the park tidy again. + +"Good job, Lily and Tom!" a voice says. It is their teacher. She has come to get them. "You are very kind and responsible. You have made the town happy." + +Lily and Tom smile. They are proud. They hold their teacher's hand. They go home. They are still friends. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toy cars. They like to make them go fast on the floor. They pretend they are racing drivers. + +"Look at my car, Anna!" Ben says. "It is red and shiny. It has a lot of speed!" + +"My car is pretty, Ben!" Anna says. "It is pink and sparkly. It has a lot of speed, too!" + +They make their cars zoom and vroom on the floor. They have fun. + +But then, Anna's car bumps into Ben's car. They both fall down. Anna and Ben feel sad. They look at their cars. They are broken. + +"Oh no, Anna!" Ben says. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to break your car!" + +"Oh no, Ben!" Anna says. "I'm sorry, too! I didn't mean to break your car!" + +They hug each other. They feel better. + +"Maybe we can fix our cars, Anna," Ben says. "Or maybe we can play with something else." + +"OK, Ben," Anna says. "Let's go and see what we can find." + +They go to their toy box. They find some blocks and some dolls. They start to build and play. They feel happy. They are friends. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they have a trade. Tom gives Anna his red car and Anna gives Tom her blue block. They are happy with their trade. + +But then, Ben comes. Ben is mean. He takes Tom's blue block and runs away. Tom is sad and angry. He wants his block back. He cries and shouts at Ben. + +Anna sees Tom cry. She feels sorry for him. She is compassionate. She wants to help him. She says to Tom, "Don't cry, Tom. I will support you. We can get your block back from Ben. Come with me." + +Anna and Tom run after Ben. They catch him near the slide. Anna says to Ben, "Ben, you are bad. You took Tom's block. That is not fair. Give it back to him now." + +Ben is scared. He sees Anna and Tom are angry. He knows he did wrong. He says to Anna and Tom, "I'm sorry, Anna and Tom. I was selfish. I wanted the blue block. But it is not mine. It is Tom's. Here, take it back. Please forgive me." + +Anna and Tom take the blue block from Ben. They are glad. They say to Ben, "Thank you, Ben. We forgive you. But don't do that again. Next time, ask nicely if you want to trade. Maybe we can share and play together." + +Ben nods. He feels ashamed. He says to Anna and Tom, "You are right. I was rude. I will ask nicely next time. Can we be friends?" + +Anna and Tom smile. They say to Ben, "Yes, we can be friends. Come, let's play with the blocks and cars. We can have fun together." + +They go to the sandbox. They play with the blocks and cars. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They saw a big sack on a bench. They ran to see what was inside. + +"Wow, look at all these coins!" Tom said. He opened the sack and poured out the shiny metal things. "We are rich!" + +Anna smiled and picked up some coins. She liked how they felt in her hand. "Can we keep them?" she asked. + +Before Tom could answer, a loud voice shouted. "Hey, you two! That's my sack! Give it back!" + +They looked up and saw a mean man running towards them. He had a red face and a big stick. He looked angry. + +Tom and Anna were scared. They wanted to run away, but the sack was too heavy. They did not know what to do. + +Then, a brave dog came out of nowhere. It barked and jumped at the mean man. It bit his leg and made him drop his stick. The mean man cried out and ran away. + +Tom and Anna hugged the dog. They thanked it for saving them. They decided to give the sack and the coins to the dog. They thought it deserved a reward. + +The dog wagged its tail and licked their faces. It was happy. It had found new friends. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. They saw a big green plant with spikes. It was a cactus. + +"Can I touch it?" Lila asked. + +"No, it will hurt you," Ben said. "The spikes are sharp." + +Lila wanted to see how sharp they were. She reached out her hand slowly. She touched the cactus with her finger. "Ow!" she cried. She pulled back her hand. It had a red spot on it. + +Ben ran to get a band-aid. He put it on Lila's finger. "Are you okay?" he asked. + +Lila nodded. She felt sorry for the cactus. It looked lonely and sad. She blinked her eyes. She thought she saw a tear on the cactus. + +"Maybe the cactus is sad because it has no friends," she said. + +"Maybe we can be its friends," Ben said. He picked up a heavy rock and put it next to the cactus. He found a small toy car and put it on the other side. He smiled at the cactus. + +"Look, now you have a rock and a car to play with," he said. + +Lila smiled too. She found a pretty shell and put it in front of the cactus. She said, "And a shell to look at." + +The cactus did not say anything. But Lila and Ben thought they saw it smile. They waved at the cactus and went back to their game. They were happy to have a new friend in the garden. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a lot of rocks. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find something cool!" + +"Okay, Ben!" Lily said. "But be careful, the rocks are sharp and hard." + +They started to climb the hill, holding each other's hands. They saw some flowers, some bugs, and some birds. They were having fun. + +But when they reached the top of the hill, they saw something that made them stop and gasp. It was a huge dragon, lying on the ground. It had scales, wings, claws, and teeth. It looked very old and tired. It was an ancient dragon. + +"Wow!" Ben said. "Look at that! It's a dragon!" + +"Shh!" Lily said. "Don't make noise! It might wake up and fight us!" + +They were both very scared, but also very curious. They wanted to see the dragon closer, but they also wanted to run away. + +The dragon opened one eye and saw them. It lifted its head and roared. It was a loud and scary roar. It made the ground shake and the air tremble. + +Lily and Ben screamed. They were in shock. They turned around and ran down the hill as fast as they could. They did not look back. They did not stop until they reached their mom and dad, who were waiting for them at the park gate. + +"Mom! Dad!" they cried. "We saw a dragon! A real dragon! It was on the hill! It was huge and old and angry!" + +Their mom and dad looked at them with surprise and disbelief. They did not know what to say. They hugged them and tried to calm them down. + +"Are you sure you saw a dragon?" their dad asked. "Maybe it was a big lizard, or a statue, or a dream." + +"No, dad, it was a dragon!" Ben insisted. "We saw it with our own eyes! It was alive and it roared at us!" + +Their mom and dad looked at each other. They did not know what to think. They decided to take them home and talk to them later. + +They got in the car and drove away. They did not see the dragon again. But the dragon saw them. It watched them leave with a sad and lonely look. It wished they had stayed and played with it. It was bored and lonely. It had no friends. It was the last of its kind. It was an ancient dragon. +Ben and Lily were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They were very happy to see new things and have fun. They packed their bags and got in the car. Dad drove for a long time, and Ben and Lily played games and sang songs. + +"Are we there yet?" Ben asked. + +"Soon, honey. We're almost at the hotel," Mom said. + +"What's a hotel?" Lily asked. + +"A hotel is a big house with many rooms. We can sleep in one of the rooms for a few nights," Mom explained. + +"Wow, that sounds cool!" Lily said. + +They arrived at the hotel and checked in. The lady at the desk gave them a key and told them where to go. They took the elevator to the third floor and found their room. It was cozy and clean, with two beds, a TV, and a bathroom. + +"Look, Ben, we have our own TV!" Lily said. + +"Can we watch cartoons?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but only for a little while. Then we have to brush our teeth and go to bed. We have a big day tomorrow," Dad said. + +"OK, Dad," Ben and Lily said. + +They watched some cartoons and laughed. Then they brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. Mom and Dad tucked them in and kissed them goodnight. + +"Sleep tight, sweeties. We love you," Mom said. + +"We love you too, Mom," Ben and Lily said. + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They felt safe and happy in the hotel. They knew Mom and Dad were reliable and would always remain with them. They dreamed of the adventures they would have the next day. +Anna loved to listen to the musician who played the piano in the park. He made beautiful sounds with his fingers and sometimes sang along. Anna liked to sit on the grass and watch him, and sometimes she clapped her hands or danced. + +One day, Anna saw a playful kitten near the piano. The kitten was black and white, like the keys, and had bright green eyes. It jumped and ran around the piano, chasing a butterfly or a leaf. Anna wanted to pet the kitten, but she was shy. + +She walked slowly towards the piano, hoping the kitten would not run away. The musician saw her and smiled. He played a soft and happy tune, and nodded at Anna. Anna felt brave and reached out her hand to the kitten. The kitten sniffed her fingers and rubbed its head against them. Anna giggled and stroked its fur. + +The musician whispered to Anna, "Do you like my friend? His name is Mozart, like a famous composer. He likes music and children. Do you want to play with him?" Anna nodded and smiled. She picked up the kitten and hugged it gently. The kitten purred and licked her cheek. + +Anna and the musician became friends, too. They talked and laughed and played with Mozart. The musician taught Anna some songs and let her touch the piano keys. Anna felt happy and grateful. She thanked the musician and gave him a flower. He thanked her and gave her a kiss. They waved goodbye and promised to see each other again. Anna went home with Mozart in her arms, humming a tune. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, Ben's mom says, "Ben, I have to go to the store. Do you want to stay with Lily and her mom?" + +Ben says, "Yes, please. Can I take some cookies?" + +Ben's mom says, "Of course. You can share them with Lily. Here, take this bag. It has orange cookies. They are yummy." + +Ben says, "Thank you, mom. I love orange cookies. Bye!" + +Ben's mom says, "Bye, sweetie. Be good." + +Ben goes to Lily's house. He knocks on the door. Lily's mom opens it. She says, "Hello, Ben. Come in. Lily is in the living room. She is happy to see you." + +Ben says, "Hello, Lily's mom. I have something for Lily. Can I give it to her?" + +Lily's mom says, "Sure. What is it?" + +Ben says, "It is a surprise. Come, Lily. I want to show you." + +Lily runs to Ben. She says, "Hi, Ben. What do you have?" + +Ben says, "I have cookies. Orange cookies. They are from my mom. She sent them for us." + +Lily says, "Wow. Orange cookies. They look good. Can I have one?" + +Ben says, "Yes, you can. Here, take one. They are soft and sweet." + +Lily takes a cookie. She bites it. She says, "Mmm. This is delicious. Thank you, Ben. And thank you, Ben's mom." + +Ben says, "You're welcome, Lily. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily says, "Yes, I do. What do you want to play?" + +Ben says, "Let's play with your toys. I like your toys. They are fun." + +Lily says, "OK. Let's go. But first, let's put the cookies on the table. We can have more later." + +Ben says, "Good idea. Come on, let's go." + +Ben and Lily go to the living room. They play with Lily's toys. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara liked to play with her toy animals. She had a lion, a monkey, a zebra and a snake. She liked to make them talk and have adventures. One day, she decided to play zoo. She put her animals in different boxes and pretended they were cages. + +She was having fun until she saw her snake. The snake was very long and had many scales. Sara did not like the scales. They looked hard and cold. She wondered why the snake had scales and not fur like the other animals. + +She picked up the snake and asked it a question. "Why do you have scales?" she said. The snake did not answer. It just hissed and wriggled. Sara was scared and dropped the snake. It fell on the floor and slithered away. + +Sara felt bad. She had hurt the snake and made it angry. She ran after it and said sorry. "I'm sorry, snake. I did not mean to hurt you. I was just curious. Please come back and play with me." + +The snake stopped and looked at Sara. It saw that she was sorry and not mean. It decided to give her a chance. It crawled back to Sara and coiled around her arm. It felt warm and soft. Sara smiled and stroked the snake. She learned that scales were not bad. They were just different. + +She took the snake back to the zoo and put it in a box. She gave it some water and a toy mouse. She said to the snake, "You are my friend. I like you and your scales. You are a good snake." + +The snake was happy. It liked Sara and her kindness. It hissed and nodded. It was a good snake. +Tom and Lily were playing in the yard. They had a lot of toys, but Tom wanted Lily's tool. It was a big hammer that made a loud noise when you hit something. + +"Give me your tool!" Tom said to Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "You have your own toys!" + +Tom was angry. He hated sharing. He tried to grab the tool from Lily, but she held it tight. They pulled and pushed, but no one let go. + +"Stop it, Tom!" Lily cried. "You are hurting me!" + +Tom did not stop. He was persistent. He wanted the tool more than anything. He pulled harder and harder, until he made Lily fall. She hit her head on a rock and started to bleed. + +Lily screamed. She was in pain. She dropped the tool and covered her head with her hands. + +Tom got the tool. He was happy. He hit the rock with the hammer, making more noise. + +But then he heard his mom. She came running from the house. She saw Lily on the ground, bleeding and crying. She saw Tom with the tool, smiling and hitting. + +She was very angry. She took the tool from Tom and threw it away. She picked up Lily and hugged her. She glared at Tom and said: + +"Tom, you are a very bad boy! You hurt your sister! You are not allowed to play with any toys for a week! Go to your room now!" + +Tom was scared. He did not like his mom's voice. He did not like his sister's tears. He did not like his room. He wished he had not taken the tool. He wished he had shared. He wished he had been nice. + +But it was too late. He had made a big mistake. He had no one to play with. He had nothing to do. He was very sad. He hated himself. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play on the farm. They liked to feed the chickens, pet the cows and run in the grass. One day, they saw a new animal on the farm. It was a mule. A mule is like a horse, but with long ears and a loud voice. + +"Hello, mule!" Lily said. She waved at the mule. The mule waved back with its ears. + +"Can we ride you, mule?" Ben asked. He wanted to have fun with the mule. + +The mule nodded. It seemed friendly and original. Lily and Ben climbed on its back. The mule started to walk slowly. + +"This is fun!" Lily said. She hugged the mule's neck. + +"Yes, it is!" Ben said. He held the mule's tail. + +But then, the mule changed. It stopped being friendly and original. It became angry and mean. It started to run fast and jump high. It wanted to throw Lily and Ben off its back. + +"Help!" Lily and Ben cried. They were scared and hurt. They tried to hold on, but they could not. + +The mule threw them off its back. They fell on the ground. They hit their heads and their arms and their legs. They bled and cried. + +The mule laughed. It was not a nice laugh. It was a bad laugh. It did not care about Lily and Ben. It only cared about itself. + +The mule ran away. It left Lily and Ben alone on the ground. No one heard them or helped them. They were sad and in pain. + +The end. +Lily and Sam loved to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They liked to design things with their blocks. They could make houses, cars, animals, and more. + +One day, they decided to design a castle. They wanted to make a big and beautiful castle with towers, walls, and a gate. They used blue blocks for the sky, green blocks for the grass, and brown blocks for the castle. They worked hard and had fun. + +When they finished, they were very excited. They had made a wonderful castle. They pretended to be a princess and a knight. They played with their castle for a long time. They were very happy and proud of their design. They showed their castle to their mom and dad.

She sang loud and she sang soft. She sang happy and she sang sad. She sang with her mom and she sang with her dad. She sang with her toys and she sang with her cat. + +One day, Jill saw a microphone in the store. It was big and shiny and had a furry cover. It looked like a toy, but it was not. It was a real microphone, like the ones she saw on TV. Jill wanted the microphone. She asked her mom if she could buy it. Her mom said no. It was too expensive and too loud. Jill was sad. She cried and cried. She did not want to sing anymore. + +The next day, Jill had a birthday. She woke up and saw a big box on the table. It had a bow and a card. It was from her mom and dad. Jill opened the box and gasped. It was the microphone! The same one she saw in the store. The one with the furry cover. Jill was so happy. She hugged her mom and dad and thanked them. She turned on the microphone and started to sing. She sang loud and she sang soft. She sang happy and she sang sad. She sang with her mom and dad. She sang with her toys and she sang with her cat. She sang and sang and sang. She was the happiest girl in the world. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to question everything. They always asked their mom and dad why the sky was blue, why the grass was green, why the dog barked, and so on. Sometimes their parents were happy to answer, but sometimes they were busy or tired and told them to stop asking so many questions. + +One day, mom made a big cake for dessert. It smelled very good and looked very yummy. Tom and Lily wanted to eat it right away, but mom said they had to wait until after dinner. She put the cake on the table and told them not to touch it. Then she went to the kitchen to finish cooking. + +Tom and Lily looked at the cake with big eyes. They wondered what it tasted like, what it was made of, how mom made it, and if they could have a big slice. They had so many questions, but they knew mom would not like it if they asked her now. They decided to try to find out by themselves. + +They went to the table and climbed on the chairs. They reached for the cake and touched it with their fingers. It felt soft and sticky. They licked their fingers and tasted it. It was sweet and creamy. They liked it very much. They wanted more. They took a knife and cut a small piece of the cake. They ate it quickly and quietly. It was delicious. They wanted more. They cut another piece and ate it. Then another, and another, until they had eaten half of the cake. + +They were very full and happy. They smiled at each other and wiped their mouths. They thought they had been very clever and useful. They had answered their own questions and had a nice dessert. They did not think mom would notice or mind. + +But mom did notice and mind. She came back to the table and saw the cake. She saw the knife, the crumbs, and the empty plates. She saw Tom and Lily's faces, which were still covered with cake. She was very angry and sad. She had worked hard to make the cake for the whole family, and now it was ruined. She asked Tom and Lily why they had done such a bad thing. They did not have an answer. They realized they had made a big mistake. They felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not been so curious and greedy. They wished they had listened to mom and waited for dessert. They learned a hard lesson that day. They said they were sorry and hugged mom. Mom said she loved them, but they had to go to bed without dessert. They agreed and went to their room. They hoped mom would forgive them and make another cake someday. They decided to ask fewer questions and be more patient and respectful. They also decided to brush their teeth very well. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a big teddy bear, a red ball, a yellow car and a blue train. She played with them every day in her room. She made them talk to each other and have fun. + +One day, she was playing with her teddy bear and the yellow car. She pretended that the teddy bear was a mighty driver who could go very fast. She said, "Vroom, vroom, teddy! You are the best driver in the world!" + +But the yellow car was tired. It had been playing for a long time. It wanted to rest. It said, "Teddy, I'm sleepy. Can we stop playing for a while?" + +Teddy did not want to stop. He said, "No, yellow car. We have to keep going. We have to win the race!" + +But the yellow car did not listen. It yawned and slowed down. It said, "Teddy, I can't go any more. I need to sleep." + +Teddy was angry. He said, "Yellow car, you are lazy. You are not a good friend. You are not a mighty car. You are a silly car!" + +The yellow car was sad. It said, "Teddy, you are mean. You are not a good friend. You are not a mighty driver. You are a rude driver!" + +Lily heard them arguing. She did not like it. She said, "Stop it, teddy and yellow car. You are both my friends. You should not fight. You should be nice to each other." + +She picked up the yellow car and the teddy bear. She hugged them and said, "I love you, yellow car and teddy. You are both mighty and fun. But you are also tired. It's time to sleep." + +She put them on her bed and covered them with a blanket. She said, "Good night, yellow car and teddy. Have sweet dreams." + +She turned off the light and lay down next to them. She yawned and closed her eyes. She said, "I'm sleepy too. I had a lot of fun today. But tomorrow we can play again." + +She fell asleep with a smile on her face. She was happy. She had a big teddy bear, a yellow car, a red ball and a blue train. She had a lot of toys. But she also had a lot of love. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Mom is making soup for dinner. She gives Ben and Lily a big onion to cut. + +"Be careful with the knife," Mom says. "Cut the onion into small pieces. Then we can put them in the pot." + +Ben and Lily nod. They take the onion and the knife to the table. They try to cut the onion, but it is hard and round. They push and pull, but the onion does not separate. + +"This onion is silly," Ben says. "It does not want to be cut." + +"Maybe we need to peel it first," Lily says. She remembers how Mom peels the onion sometimes. She tries to peel the onion, but it is slippery and sticky. She drops the onion on the floor. + +"Oops," Lily says. "The onion is too slippery." + +Ben picks up the onion and tries to peel it again. But the onion makes his eyes water. He rubs his eyes and cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow," Ben says. "The onion is too spicy." + +Mom hears Ben and Lily. She comes to the table and sees the onion, the knife, and the tears. + +"What's wrong, my loves?" Mom asks. She hugs Ben and Lily and wipes their eyes. + +"The onion is silly, Mom," Ben says. "It does not separate. It is slippery and spicy." + +Mom smiles. She takes the onion and the knife. She shows Ben and Lily how to cut the onion easily. She peels the onion, cuts it in half, and then cuts it into small pieces. + +"See?" Mom says. "The onion is not silly. It just needs a little help. Now we can put it in the pot and make our soup." + +Ben and Lily watch Mom. They smell the onion and the soup. They feel better. + +"Can we help you with something else, Mom?" Ben asks. + +"Sure," Mom says. "You can help me stir the soup and taste it. Then we can have a yummy dinner." + +Ben and Lily smile. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. They like to make soup with the onion. They think the onion is not silly anymore. They think the onion is good. +Tim and his dog Rex were best friends. They liked to play and run in the park. Rex was a loyal dog. He always listened to Tim and followed him everywhere. + +One day, Tim's mom gave him a bag of oats. She said, "Tim, these are for the birds. You can bring them to the park and feed them. They will be happy and sing for you." Tim was excited. He loved birds and their songs. He said, "Thank you, mom. I will bring the oats to the park and feed the birds." + +Tim and Rex went to the park. They saw many birds on the trees and on the ground. Tim opened the bag of oats and threw some on the grass. The birds flew down and ate the oats. They chirped and tweeted. Tim smiled and said, "Look, Rex, the birds are happy. They like the oats. Do you want to try some?" He offered some oats to Rex. + +Rex sniffed the oats. He did not like them. He shook his head and said, "Woof, woof. No, thank you, Tim. I do not like oats. I like bones and meat. Oats are for birds, not for dogs." He wagged his tail and licked Tim's face. + +Tim laughed and said, "You are right, Rex. Oats are for birds, not for dogs. You are a smart and loyal dog. You know what you like and what you do not like. You do not eat what is not yours. You are a good friend." He hugged Rex and said, "I love you, Rex. You are the best dog in the world." + +The moral of the story is: Be loyal and honest to yourself and your friends. Do not take what is not yours. Respect the preferences and needs of others. +Lily and her mom went to the grocery store. Lily liked to look at all the things on the shelves. She saw apples, bananas, bread, cheese, and many more. She asked her mom, "Can we buy some cookies?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Maybe, if you are a good girl and help me with the shopping. Can you answer some questions for me?" + +Lily nodded. She liked to answer questions. She felt very smart. + +Her mom pointed to a picture of a cow on a carton of milk. She asked, "What animal is this?" + +Lily said, "A cow. It says moo." + +Her mom said, "Very good. And what do we get from the cow?" + +Lily said, "Milk. We drink milk." + +Her mom said, "That's right. And what else do we get from the cow?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered something her dad told her. She said, "Cheese. We eat cheese." + +Her mom said, "You are very clever, Lily. You answered all my questions. Now you can choose one cookie from the bakery." + +Lily was very happy. She ran to the bakery and saw many kinds of cookies. She picked a big one with chocolate chips. She thanked her mom and gave her a hug. + +Her mom said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good girl and a good helper. I love you very much." + +Lily said, "I love you too, mom. You are the best mom in the world." + +They paid for their groceries and went home. Lily shared her cookie with her mom and her young brother. They all enjoyed it very much. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big sack on a bench. They ran to the sack and opened it. Inside, there were many green grapes. They liked grapes very much. + +"Wow, look at all these grapes!" Ben said. "They look yummy!" + +"Who do you think left them here?" Mia asked. "Maybe they are for us!" + +They took some grapes and ate them. They were sweet and juicy. They smiled and shared the grapes. + +Suddenly, a man came to the bench. He looked angry. He saw Ben and Mia with his sack of grapes. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my grapes?" he shouted. "Those are mine! Give them back!" + +Ben and Mia were scared. They dropped the grapes and ran away. They did not want to make the man more angry. + +"Sorry, mister!" they said. "We did not know they were yours!" + +They ran back to their mom, who was waiting for them. They told her what happened. She hugged them and said they should not take things that are not theirs. + +"Next time, ask before you touch," she said. "And if you want some grapes, I have some in my bag. Here, have some. They are green, too." + +Ben and Mia thanked their mom. They ate the grapes she gave them. They were also sweet and juicy. They learned their lesson and decided to be more careful. They still liked grapes very much. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun and making noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Ben said. + +"My doll is pretty, she has a dress!" Anna said. + +But then Ben saw Anna's doll and wanted to play with it. He grabbed it from her hands and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back, that's mine!" Anna cried. + +"No, it's mine now, it's better than your car!" Ben said. + +Anna was angry and chased Ben. She caught him and tried to take the doll back. They pulled and pushed and fought over the doll. They did not hear their mom coming. + +"Stop it, both of you!" their mom shouted. "What are you doing? You are hurting each other and the doll!" + +She took the doll from them and looked at it. It was torn and dirty. She was sad and angry. + +"This was a gift from your grandma, and you ruined it! How could you be so mean and selfish?" she said. + +She put the doll on a high shelf and said, "You are both punished. You have to go to your rooms and stay there until dinner. And you can't play with any toys for the rest of the day. Maybe then you will learn to share and be nice." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They wanted to say sorry to their mom and to each other, but they were too scared. They went to their rooms and cried. They wished they had not fought over the doll. They wished they had played with their harmless car instead. They had no fun and no toys. They had a bad ending. +Tom was a famous dog. He was on TV and in books. Many people liked him and wanted to pet him. He was very happy, but sometimes he missed his family. + +One day, he went to a big park with his owner. He saw many other dogs playing and running. He wanted to join them, but his owner said no. He said Tom had to stay with him and be good. Tom was sad. He lay on the grass and sighed. + +Then, he heard a familiar bark. He looked up and saw his sister, Molly. She was also a famous dog. She was in movies and on posters. She ran to him and licked his face. Tom was very happy. He wagged his tail and barked back. + +"Tom, I missed you so much!" Molly said. "How are you?" + +"I missed you too, Molly. I'm fine, but I wish I could play with other dogs," Tom said. + +"Me too. Being famous is hard. We have to work a lot and do what people tell us. But we also have fun and get treats. And we have each other," Molly said. + +They hugged and nuzzled each other. Their owners smiled and let them play for a while. Tom and Molly were famous dogs, but they were also family. And they loved each other very much. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Max. One day, they go to the park with Mom and Dad. There is a big river in the park. Lily and Ben want to see the river. + +"Can we go to the river, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. The river is fast and deep. Don't go too close to the water," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They hold hands and walk to the river with Max. They see many things in the river. They see fish and ducks and boats. Some boats are old and some boats are modern. Modern boats are shiny and have big engines. + +"Look, Ben, a modern boat!" Lily says, pointing to a boat that makes a loud noise. + +"Wow, it's so big and fast!" Ben says. + +They watch the modern boat zoom by. Then they hear a splash. They turn around and see Max in the water. Max jumped into the river to chase a duck. He is swimming and barking. + +"Max, no!" Lily and Ben shout. + +They run to the edge of the river. They want to help Max, but they remember what Mom said. They don't go too close to the water. + +"Mom, Dad, help! Max is in the river!" Lily and Ben yell. + +Mom and Dad hear them and come quickly. They see Max in the river. Dad takes off his shoes and socks. He goes into the water and grabs Max. He brings him back to the shore. Max is wet and happy. He licks Dad's face. + +"Thank you, Dad!" Lily and Ben say. + +"You're welcome, kids. But you should remind Max not to jump into the river. It's dangerous," Dad says. + +"We will, Dad. We're sorry, Max. We love you," Lily and Ben say. + +They hug Max and dry him with a towel. Mom smiles and gives them a hug too. + +"Good job, kids. You were brave and smart. You didn't go too close to the water. You called for help. You did the right thing," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben feel proud and happy. They love their family and their dog. They love the park and the river. But they don't love the modern boat. It's too loud and scary. They prefer the old boats. They are quiet and nice. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and look for bugs. They found a big spider under a rock. It was black and hairy and had eight legs. + +"Wow, look at this spider!" Tom said. "It is so big and scary!" + +"Let me see!" Lily said. She grabbed the spider from Tom's hand. The spider did not like that. It bit Lily's finger. Lily screamed and dropped the spider. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "It hurts! It hurts!" + +Tom ran to get their mom. Mom came and saw Lily's finger. It was red and swollen. She looked at the spider. It was filthy and had dirt and grass on it. + +"This spider is very dirty and dangerous," Mom said. "It might have germs or poison. We need to go to the doctor right now." + +She picked up Lily and took her to the car. Tom followed them. He felt sorry for Lily. He wished he could restore the spider to its home under the rock. But it was too late. The spider was gone. A bird had seen it and eaten it. The end. +Tom and Lily were at the park with their mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. They wanted to play with the water. + +"Can we go to the fountain, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't get too wet or too close to the edge," mom said. + +Tom and Lily ran to the fountain. They splashed their hands in the water and laughed. They saw some coins at the bottom of the fountain. They wondered who put them there. + +"Look, Lily, shiny coins!" Tom said. + +"Maybe they are wishes," Lily said. + +"I wish I could climb the fountain and touch the water that goes up," Tom said. + +He looked at the fountain and saw a big rock that was part of it. He thought he could climb on it and reach the water. + +He let go of Lily's hand and ran to the rock. He tried to climb on it, but it was slippery and wet. He slipped and fell into the fountain. He got very wet and scared. + +"Tom!" Lily shouted. + +Mom heard Lily and ran to the fountain. She saw Tom in the water and pulled him out. She hugged him and checked if he was okay. + +"Tom, are you okay? Why did you climb the fountain? That was very dangerous!" mom said. + +Tom was shivering and crying. He was sorry for what he did. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to touch the water that goes up. I made a wish," Tom said. + +Mom dried him with a towel and gave him a kiss. + +"I'm glad you're okay, Tom. But you don't have to climb the fountain to make a wish. You can just throw a coin and say it in your head. That's safer and more fun," mom said. + +Tom nodded and said he understood. He hugged mom and said he loved her. + +Lily came to them and gave Tom a coin. + +"Here, Tom. You can make a wish with this coin. I'm glad you're okay, too," Lily said. + +Tom smiled and thanked Lily. He threw the coin into the fountain and made a wish in his head. He wished he could always play with Lily and mom at the park. He felt happy and warm. +Lisa and Ben are friends. They like to play basketball in the park. Lisa is good at throwing the ball. Ben is good at catching the ball. They have fun together. + +One day, Lisa and Ben have a fight. Lisa throws the ball too hard. The ball hits Ben in the face. Ben cries. He is hurt and angry. He says, "You are mean, Lisa! I don't want to play with you anymore!" He runs away with the ball. + +Lisa feels sad and sorry. She did not mean to hurt Ben. She wants to say sorry and make up. She looks for Ben in the park. She sees him sitting on a bench. He is holding the ball and his face. + +Lisa walks up to Ben. She says, "Ben, I am sorry. I did not mean to throw the ball so hard. Are you okay?" She touches his face gently. His face is red and sore. + +Ben looks at Lisa. He sees that she is sorry. He says, "It's okay, Lisa. I forgive you. You are my friend. I was just mad and scared. Can we play again?" He smiles and gives her the ball. + +Lisa smiles back. She says, "Yes, we can play again. You are my friend too. I am glad you forgive me. Let's be careful with the ball. It is delicate and so are we." They hug and go back to the court. They play basketball and have fun again. +Tom and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. Tom had a big truck that he pretended was a fire engine. Mia had a doll that she pretended was a princess. + +"Help, help!" Mia said in a high voice. "My princess is trapped in the tower. The bad dragon is guarding the door. Who will save her?" + +"I will save her!" Tom said in a low voice. "I am the brave fireman. I have a ladder and a hose. I will climb up the tower and spray the dragon with water." + +Tom put his truck near the couch and used a thread to tie the ladder to the couch. He climbed up the ladder with his hose. Mia put her doll on the top of the couch and made a scary noise like a dragon. + +"Roar!" Mia said. "You can't come in. I will eat you and the princess." + +"No, you won't!" Tom said. "I will turn on the hose and make you wet. Then you will run away and leave the princess alone." + +Tom pretended to turn on the hose and made a hissing noise. He waved the hose at Mia and said, "Take that, dragon!" + +Mia pretended to be scared and wet. She said, "Oh no, oh no! You are too strong for me. I will go away and never come back." + +She moved away from the couch and let Tom reach the doll. Tom took the doll and said, "Don't worry, princess. I am here to save you. You are safe now." + +He climbed down the ladder and gave the doll to Mia. Mia hugged the doll and said, "Thank you, fireman. You are very brave and kind. You are my hero." + +Tom smiled and said, "You're welcome, princess. You are very pretty and sweet. You are my friend." + +They hugged each other and continued to play with their toys. They were happy and had fun. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a big van toy that can carry many things. They put their dolls, cars, books and balls in the van. They pretend to drive the van to different places. + +One day, they decide to improve their van. They want to make it more perfect. They look for things to add to the van. They find some stickers, some ribbons, some crayons and some glue. They stick the stickers on the van. They tie the ribbons on the van. They draw with the crayons on the van. They glue some things on the van. + +"Look at our van!" Tim says. "It is so perfect now!" + +"Yes, it is!" Kim says. "It is the best van ever!" + +They are very happy with their improved van.

Tim and Kim say. + +They hug mom and dad. They play with their perfect van all day. They have a lot of fun. +Lily was a princess who liked to chew gum. She chewed gum all day long, even when she wore her crown. She thought it was fun to make big bubbles and pop them. + +One day, she went to visit her friend Ben, who was a prince. He lived in a big castle with many toys. Lily wanted to play with his toys, but she did not ask him. She just took them and chewed her gum. + +Ben did not like that. He said, "Lily, you are rude. You do not share. You do not say please or thank you. And you chew gum in my castle. That is not nice." + +Lily did not listen. She said, "I do not care. I am a princess. I can do what I want. And I like to chew gum. It is yummy." + +She blew a big bubble and popped it. But the gum stuck to her crown and her hair. She tried to pull it off, but it was too sticky. She cried, "Help! Help! My crown is ruined. My hair is ruined. What can I do?" + +Ben felt sorry for her. He said, "Do not cry, Lily. I will help you. But you have to learn to be polite and respectful. And you have to stop chewing gum. It is bad for your teeth and your crown." + +He got some scissors and some oil. He cut the gum from her hair and her crown. He cleaned them with the oil. He gave her a hug and said, "There. You are better now. But please, no more gum." + +Lily said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I am sorry I was rude. I will share and say nice words. And I will not chew gum anymore. It is not worth it." + +They smiled and played with his toys. They had fun and were happy. They learned to be kind and careful. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to ride their bikes on the path. They have big wheels and helmets. They go fast and have fun. + +"Look, Lily, a hill!" Ben says. "Let's go down it!" + +"OK, Ben, but be careful!" Lily says. They rush down the hill. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and shout. + +But then, Ben sees a big rock on the path. He tries to stop, but he can't. He hits the rock and falls off his bike. His wheel breaks and his knee hurts. He cries. + +"Lily, help me!" Ben says. Lily stops her bike and runs to Ben. She sees his broken wheel and his bleeding knee. She feels sad and scared. + +"Don't worry, Ben, I'm here!" Lily says. She hugs Ben and tries to make him feel better. She takes off her helmet and puts it on his head. She says, "Let's go to the nurse. She will fix your knee and your wheel. Come on, I'll help you." + +Lily and Ben walk to the nurse's office. They leave their bikes on the path. Lily's bike is fine, but Ben's bike is empty. It has no wheel and no rider. It looks lonely and sad. But Lily and Ben are not lonely and sad. They have each other. They are friends. +Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They are curious. They want to see what is inside. + +They go near the hole and look down. They see something shiny and bright. It is a gem. It is blue like the sky. Anna and Ben want to have it. They think it is pretty and special. + +"Wow, look at that!" Anna says. "It is a blue gem. Can we take it?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it belongs to someone. Maybe it is a trap." + +Anna does not listen to Ben. She reaches her hand into the hole. She tries to grab the gem. But the hole is deep and dark. She cannot reach it. She stretches more and more. + +Suddenly, the hole shuts. It closes like a mouth. It traps Anna's hand. Anna feels scared and hurt. She screams. + +"Help! Help! The hole shut on my hand! It hurts!" + +Ben hears Anna scream. He runs to help her. He pulls her hand. He tries to open the hole. But the hole is strong and hard. It does not open. Ben feels scared and sad. He cries. + +"Help! Help! Someone help us! The hole shut on Anna's hand! We need help!" + +A man hears Ben and Anna cry. He comes to the park. He sees the hole and the gem. He knows what it is. It is a trap. It is a trap for thieves. He is the owner of the gem. He is angry and mean. + +"Ha! I got you!" the man says. "You are thieves. You tried to steal my gem. It is mine. It is not yours. Now you are stuck. You cannot escape. You will pay for this." + +The man laughs. He does not help Anna and Ben. He walks away. He leaves them alone. + +Anna and Ben are scared and sad. They do not know what to do. They hope someone will come and help them. They hope someone will open the hole and free Anna's hand. They hope someone will be kind and good. They hope someone will save them. +Tim and Sue were playing in the park. They saw a big house with a dark door and a black cat. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go, Tim. Maybe we can find some candy or toys," Sue said. + +"No, Sue. That house looks scary. Maybe a witch lives there. Witches are mean and smelly," Tim said. + +Sue did not listen to Tim. She ran to the door and knocked. The door opened with a loud creak. A woman with a long nose and a pointy hat came out. She had a big smile and a basket. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you want some treats? Come in, come in," she said. + +Sue was happy. She thought the woman was nice. She followed her into the house. Tim was afraid. He wanted to run away. But he did not want to leave Sue alone. He followed her too. + +Inside the house, there were many strange things. There were jars with eyes and spiders, books with words and pictures, and a big pot with smoke and bubbles. The woman put the basket on a table and took out some cookies. + +"Here you go, my dears. Eat some cookies. They are very yummy," she said. + +Sue and Tim took a cookie each. They bit into them. They tasted awful. They felt sick. They wanted to spit them out. But they could not. Their mouths were stuck. They could not talk or scream. + +The woman laughed. She clapped her hands. She was not nice. She was a witch. A mean and smelly witch. + +"Ha ha ha! You are so foolish. These cookies are not for you. They are for me. They will make you small and weak. Then I will put you in my pot and cook you for my dinner. You will be my treats," she said. + +Sue and Tim were very scared. They tried to run away. But they could not. They were too small and weak. The witch grabbed them and threw them into the pot. They felt hot and pain. They cried and cried. But no one heard them. No one helped them. + +The witch ate them for her dinner. She was very happy. She clapped her hands again. + +The end. +Tommy did not like to study. He liked to play with his toys and watch cartoons. But his mom said he had to study his letters and numbers every day. She said it would help him learn and grow. + +One day, Tommy had a big test at school. He did not study very well. He forgot some letters and numbers. He felt sad and scared. His teacher was not happy with him. She said he had to study harder. + +After school, his mom took him to get a haircut. Tommy did not like haircuts. He liked his hair long and messy. But his mom said he had to look neat and tidy. She said it would make him look smart and handsome. + +The barber cut his hair very short. He used a dull scissors that pulled and hurt. Tommy cried and squirmed. He did not want to look like that. He wanted his hair back. + +"Stop crying, Tommy," his mom said. "It's just a haircut. It will grow back soon. And you look very nice." + +"I don't like it, Mom," Tommy said. "I look silly. And I don't like to study. I want to play." + +"Tommy, you have to study and get good grades. And you have to get haircuts and look neat. That's what big boys do. Don't you want to be a big boy?" + +Tommy thought for a moment. He did want to be a big boy. He wanted to make his mom and his teacher proud. He wanted to learn and grow. But he also wanted to have fun and be himself. + +"Mom, can I be a big boy and still play with my toys and watch cartoons?" he asked. + +"Of course, Tommy," his mom said. "You can do both. But you have to balance your time. You have to study first, then play. And you have to get haircuts once in a while, but you can choose how you want your hair to look. How about that?" + +Tommy nodded. He felt better. He decided to study harder and get better grades. He also decided to keep his hair a little longer and style it with some gel. He thought he looked cool and smart. He hugged his mom and thanked her for the haircut. He was a big boy, but he was still Tommy. +Tom and Lily were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look at the waves. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs and shells. They were very curious about the sea and the animals that lived in it. + +One day, they saw something big and gray in the water. It was a whale! The whale was swimming near the shore and making loud noises. Tom and Lily wanted to see it better, so they ran to the edge of the water. Their mom and dad told them to be careful and not go too far. + +"Look, look, it's a whale!" Tom shouted. "It's so big and funny!" + +"Can we touch it?" Lily asked. "Can we play with it?" + +The whale heard them and came closer. It was curious too. It lifted its head and sprayed water from its nose. Tom and Lily laughed and clapped their hands. The whale seemed to like them and made more noises. + +But then, another whale came. It was bigger and darker than the first one. It looked angry and scared. It wanted to protect the first whale from the children. It swam fast and bumped into the first whale. The first whale cried out and moved away from the shore. + +Tom and Lily were scared too. They didn't know what was happening. They ran back to their mom and dad, who hugged them and told them it was okay. + +The two whales swam away, leaving behind a splash of water and a mystery. Tom and Lily wondered why the second whale was so mean and why the first whale was so friendly. They hoped to see the first whale again someday. They had gained a new friend and a new story to tell. +Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play and have fun. One day, they saw a big tub of yogurt in the fridge. They wanted to eat it, but their mom said no. She said it was for later. + +Ben and Sam had a plan. They waited until their mom went to the store. Then they took the yogurt and ran to their room. They hid it under the bed. They thought their mom would not find it. + +They ate some yogurt with spoons. It was yummy and creamy. They ate more and more. They did not stop. They ate the whole tub of yogurt. They felt sick and full. + +Their mom came back from the store. She looked for the yogurt in the fridge. She did not see it. She was angry. She went to Ben and Sam's room. She saw the empty tub and the spoons under the bed. She saw Ben and Sam lying on the bed. They looked pale and sad. + +She knew what they did. She scolded them. She said they were naughty and greedy. She said they had to go to the doctor. She said they could not have any dessert for a week. Ben and Sam cried. They wished they did not eat the yogurt. They wished they did not have a plan. They learned a lesson. The end. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. They also liked to feed the birds. They brought some bread and seeds with them. + +One day, they saw a big tree with many branches and leaves. They saw some birds on the tree. They wanted to feed them. They walked to the tree and said hello. + +"Hello, birds! We have some food for you. Do you want some?" Ben asked. + +"Tweet, tweet! Yes, please! We are hungry!" the birds answered. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They broke the bread into small pieces and threw them to the birds. They also scattered some seeds on the ground. The birds flew down and ate the food. They thanked Ben and Lily. + +"Thank you, Ben and Lily! You are very friendly and kind!" the birds said. + +"You are welcome, birds! You are very friendly and pretty!" Ben and Lily said. + +They watched the birds for a while. They saw them sing, flap their wings and hop around. They felt happy. They liked the tree and the birds. They decided to come back again. They said goodbye and went to play some more. +Lily and Tom like to jog with their dog Spot. They jog in the park every day. Spot is fast and smart. He can catch a ball and do tricks. + +One day, they see a big cat in the park. Spot wants to chase the cat. He barks and runs after it. Lily and Tom follow him. They think it is fun. + +But the cat is not happy. It hisses and scratches. It climbs a tree and jumps on a branch. Spot cannot reach the cat. He whines and jumps. + +"Spot, come back!" Lily calls. "The cat does not want to play. It is angry. You are foolish." + +Tom agrees. He says, "Yes, Spot, you are foolish. The cat is not a friend. It is a foe. You should leave it alone." + +Spot realizes that Lily and Tom are right. He stops jumping and barking. He feels sorry. He runs back to Lily and Tom. He licks their faces and wags his tail. + +Lily and Tom hug Spot. They say, "It is OK, Spot. We love you. You are not foolish. You are just curious. But next time, be careful. Some animals are not nice." + +Spot nods and barks. He is happy. He learns a lesson. He does not chase the cat anymore. He jogs with Lily and Tom in the park. They have fun. +Lily and Ben wanted to decorate a cake for Mom's birthday. They asked Dad to help them. Dad said yes and took them to the kitchen. He gave them a big cake, some cream, and some sprinkles. + +Lily and Ben took turns to spread the cream on the cake. The cream was white and soft and sweet. They used a knife to make it smooth. Then they added some sprinkles on top. The sprinkles were colorful and crunchy and fun. + +Dad put the cake in the fridge to make it cold. He said cold cream was better than warm cream. Lily and Ben agreed. They waited for Mom to come home. They were very excited to surprise her with their cake. + +When Mom came home, Lily and Ben ran to hug her. They said happy birthday and took her to the kitchen. They showed her their cake and said they made it for her. Mom was very happy and proud. She said it was the most beautiful cake she ever saw. She thanked them and gave them a big kiss. + +They cut the cake and ate some slices. The cake was cold and creamy and delicious. Lily and Ben smiled and said they loved Mom. Mom smiled and said she loved them too. They had a wonderful birthday party. +Lily and Max were twins, but they liked different things. Lily liked pink and flowers, Max liked blue and cars. One day, they went to the park with their mom. Mom gave them each a tray with a sandwich and a juice. + +"Can I have your juice, Lily?" Max requested. "I don't like orange, I like apple." + +"No, Max, this is my juice. You have your own juice," Lily said. "I don't like apple, I like orange." + +"But I want your juice, Lily. Please, please, please," Max begged. He tried to grab Lily's tray, but Lily held it tight. + +"Stop it, Max. You are being mean. Mom said we have to share, but you always want my things," Lily cried. She pushed Max away, but he pushed her back. + +"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here?" Mom asked. She saw Lily and Max fighting over the trays. She was not happy. She took the trays from them and put them on the bench. + +"Lily and Max, you are both unique and special, but you have to respect each other's choices. You can't take or force what is not yours. You have to ask nicely and accept no as an answer. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lily and Max nodded. They felt sorry for making Mom angry and for hurting each other. They hugged and said sorry. + +"Can we have our trays back, Mom?" Lily and Max requested. + +"Yes, you can, but only if you promise to be kind and share. And maybe you can try something new and different. You might like it," Mom said. + +Lily and Max agreed. They took their trays and sat on the grass. They each took a sip of their juice and a bite of their sandwich. They smiled and exchanged their trays. + +"Hey, this is not bad. I like orange juice," Max said. + +"Me too. I like apple juice," Lily said. + +They laughed and enjoyed their lunch. They learned that being unique is good, but being together is better. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the swamp near their home. The swamp has many frogs, bugs and plants. Tom and Jen like to catch frogs and look at bugs. They also like to make mud pies and pretend they are cakes. + +One day, they find a big yellow ball in the swamp. It is shiny and round. Tom and Jen want to play with the ball. They try to remove it from the swamp, but it is stuck. They pull and push, but the ball does not move. They get very muddy and wet. + +A big crocodile sees them. The crocodile is hungry and angry. The ball is his toy. He does not like Tom and Jen. He wants to scare them away. He opens his mouth and shows his teeth. He makes a loud noise. + +Tom and Jen are scared. They run away from the swamp. They leave the ball behind. They do not want to play with the ball anymore. They do not want to play in the swamp anymore. They go home and tell their mom what happened. Mom hugs them and gives them cookies. She says they are brave and smart. She says they should not go to the swamp again. She says the swamp is dangerous and has crocodiles. Tom and Jen agree. They say they will play in the park instead. They say they will find a new toy. They say they will be careful and happy. +Anna and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Anna found a shiny bracelet in the park. It had many colors and sparkles. She put it on her wrist and showed it to Lily. + +"Wow, Anna, you are so lucky! That is a pretty bracelet!" Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily. Do you want to try it on?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, please. Can I borrow it for a little while?" Lily said. + +"Okay, but you have to return it to me soon. It is my favorite bracelet now." Anna said. + +Lily nodded and put the bracelet on her wrist. She felt happy and special. She forgot about Anna and ran to show the bracelet to other kids. She played with them and had fun. She did not see Anna looking for her. + +Anna was sad and angry. She wanted her bracelet back. She searched for Lily everywhere, but she could not find her. She asked other kids, but they did not know where Lily was. She started to cry. + +"Where is Lily? Where is my bracelet?" Anna sobbed. + +She did not know that Lily had left the park with her mom. Lily did not remember to return the bracelet to Anna. She hid it in her pocket and took it home. She thought it was hers now. + +Anna never saw Lily or her bracelet again. She lost her best friend and her lucky bracelet. She felt very bad. She wished she had never found the bracelet in the park. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks.

The dog knocks down the towers and houses and cars. The blocks fall everywhere. + +"Stop, dog!" Mia says. "You are breaking our blocks!" + +The dog does not stop. The dog bites and chews. The dog breaks some blocks. The blocks are hurt. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam and Mia say. "The blocks are hurt! The dog is bad!" + +Sam and Mia are scared. They run away from the dog. They leave the blocks behind. They cry and cry. + +The dog is happy. The dog has all the blocks. The dog plays with the blocks. The dog does not care if the blocks are hurt. The dog is mean. + +The end. +Here is one possible story, but there are many other ways to write it. + +--- + +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play hide and seek. One day, they decided to play in the big park near their house. Ben said, "I will count to ten and you hide. Then I will find you." Lily nodded and ran away. + +Ben closed his eyes and counted. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ready or not, here I come!" He opened his eyes and looked around. He saw a big tree with a hole in it. He thought, "Maybe Lily is hiding in there." He walked towards the tree. + +But Lily was not hiding in the tree. She was hiding behind a bush. She saw Ben go to the tree and smiled. She thought, "He will never find me here." She waited for him to give up and come back. + +But Ben did not give up. He reached the tree and peeked inside the hole. He saw something furry and brown. He thought, "Is that Lily's hair?" He reached his hand inside the hole and touched it. It was soft and warm. He said, "I found you, Lily!" + +But it was not Lily's hair. It was a bear's nose. The bear was sleeping in the tree and did not like to be disturbed. It woke up and roared. It bit Ben's hand and pulled him inside the hole. Ben screamed and cried. He wished he had recognized the bear's nose. + +Lily heard Ben's scream and ran to the tree. She saw blood and fur. She was scared and sad. She wished she had been wise and not hidden so far. She called for help, but no one came. She was alone with the bear. +Tom and Mia liked to play hide and seek in the park. They ran and laughed and had fun. One day, they saw a big zoom on the road. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise. Tom and Mia wanted to see it closer. + +They ran to the road, but they did not look for cars. They did not hear their mom call them to stop. They only saw the big zoom. They thought it was a toy. + +But the big zoom was not a toy. It was a fire truck. It was going to a fire. It was in a hurry. It did not see Tom and Mia. They did not see it either. They were too busy hiding behind a bush. + +The fire truck zoomed past the bush. It hit Tom and Mia. They screamed and fell. They were hurt. They were not alert. They did not play anymore. Their mom ran to them. She cried and hugged them. She called for help. But it was too late. Tom and Mia were gone. The big zoom took them away. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a large truck in the park. The truck has many boxes and a big lock on the back. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Tom says. "I wonder what is inside the boxes." + +"Maybe toys, or candy, or books," Lily says. "Can we go and see, mom?" + +Mom shakes her head. "No, we can't. The truck belongs to someone else. We have to respect their things. We can watch from here, but we can't touch." + +Tom and Lily are curious, but they listen to mom. They sit on a bench and watch the truck. They see a man come out of the truck. He has a key in his hand. He goes to the back of the truck and opens the lock. + +Tom and Lily gasp. They see many colorful balloons inside the truck. The man takes out some balloons and ties them to the park fence. He smiles and waves at Tom and Lily. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like balloons?" he asks. + +"Yes, we do!" Tom and Lily say. + +"Would you like one?" he asks. + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily say. + +The man gives them each a balloon. Tom gets a blue one and Lily gets a pink one. They thank the man and hug their mom. + +"Wow, that was a nice surprise!" mom says. "What a kind man. He must be a balloon seller." + +Tom and Lily nod. They are happy. They hold their balloons and watch the truck drive away. They wonder what other things the truck has inside. +Tom and Sue wanted to go to the park. They put on their hats and shoes and held hands. They walked to the big road with many cars. They waited for the green light to cross. + +But the green light did not come. The cars kept going and going. Tom and Sue got bored and angry. They wanted to play on the swings and slides. They did not like the noise and smoke of the cars. + +"Let's march!" Tom said. "We can march across the road like soldiers. The cars will stop for us." + +"No, Tom, that's bad!" Sue said. "We have to wait for the green light. The cars are fast and loud. They can hurt us if we march." + +Tom did not listen to Sue. He let go of her hand and started to march. He marched to the middle of the road. He waved his arms and shouted. "Stop, cars, stop! We want to go to the park!" + +Sue was scared. She saw a big car coming fast. The car did not see Tom. The car did not stop. Sue screamed. "Tom, look out!" + +A man on a bike saw Tom. He was a police man. He had a badge and a whistle. He blew his whistle and rode his bike to Tom. He grabbed Tom and pulled him to the side of the road. He saved Tom from the car. + +Tom was shocked. He felt the wind of the car. He heard the horn of the car. He saw the face of the man. He was kind and brave. He was a hero. + +"Are you okay, little boy?" the man asked. "You should not march on the road. You should wait for the green light. The road is for cars, not for kids. You could have been hurt." + +Tom nodded. He was sorry. He was foolish. He was grateful. He hugged the man and said. "Thank you, sir. You saved me. You are a hero." + +Sue ran to Tom. She was happy. She was relieved. She was grateful. She hugged Tom and said. "Tom, I'm so glad you're safe. You scared me. You should listen to me. I'm your sister. I love you." + +Tom hugged Sue and said. "I love you too, Sue. I'm sorry I did not listen to you. You are smart. You are right. We should wait for the green light." + +The man smiled and said. "You are good kids. You learned your lesson. Now you can go to the park. But be careful. And have fun." + +Tom and Sue thanked the man again. They held hands and waited for the green light. They crossed the road and went to the park. They played on the swings and slides. They were happy. They were safe. They were grateful. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw many birds, flowers and bugs. They were having fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. The truck was coming to the park. It had a big saw on it. The saw was for cutting trees. Ben and Lily did not like the saw. It was scary and noisy. + +Mom saw the truck too. She said, "Hurry, kids! We have to go. The truck is not for playing. The saw is not for touching. It can hurt you. Come with me. We will find a safe place." + +Ben and Lily ran to mom. They held her hands. They left the park. They saw the truck stop near a big tree. They saw the saw start to spin. They heard the saw make a loud sound. They did not like the sound. + +Mom took them to a shop. The shop had ice cream. Mom said, "You were very good, kids. You listened to me. You hurried with me. You are safe with me. Now, you can have a treat. What flavor do you want?" + +Ben and Lily smiled. They forgot about the truck and the saw. They liked ice cream. They chose their flavors. They thanked mom. They ate their ice cream. They were happy. +Tim likes hockey very much. He has a hockey stick and a puck. He plays hockey with his friends in the park. He is good at hockey. He can hit the puck fast and far. + +One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Sam. He has a unique hockey stick. It is red and shiny. It has a star on it. Tim thinks Sam's hockey stick is cool. He wants to have it. + +He goes to Sam and says, "Can I have your hockey stick? It is better than mine." Sam says, "No, this is my hockey stick. I like it. It is a gift from my dad." Tim gets angry. He says, "Give me your hockey stick or I will not play with you." Sam says, "No, you are not nice. You can play with your own hockey stick." + +Tim tries to take Sam's hockey stick by force. He pulls and pushes. Sam does not let go. They fight. They fall on the ground. They hurt each other. They cry. + +A teacher sees them. She goes to them and says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" Tim and Sam tell her what happened. The teacher says, "You are both wrong. You should not want what others have. You should be happy with what you have. You should not fight over things. You should share and be kind. Hockey is a fun game. You can play it with any hockey stick. You can make friends with anyone. You can enjoy the unique things that others have. That is the moral of the story." +Lily and Sam liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of blocks. They could make houses, towers, bridges, and anything they wanted with the blocks. + +One day, they decided to play a game with the blocks. They pretended that they were ancient players who lived a long time ago. They made a big castle with the blocks and put some toy soldiers and animals inside. They said that the castle was their home and they had to protect it from enemies. + +"Who are the enemies?" Lily asked Sam. + +"Maybe some dragons or giants or robbers," Sam said. "We have to be brave and smart and fight them off." + +"OK, let's do that," Lily said. "But we also have to pay for the castle. We have to give some blocks to the king every week. He is the boss of all the ancient players." + +"Who is the king?" Sam asked. + +"Maybe our dad or our teddy bear or our teacher," Lily said. "We can choose. But we have to be nice and respectful to the king. He gives us food and clothes and toys." + +"OK, let's do that too," Sam said. "But we have to keep some blocks for ourselves. We need them to make more things and have fun." + +They played for a long time, making up stories and rules and adventures with their blocks. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot about ancient players. They also learned to share and pay and be kind. They loved their game and their toys. +Sara and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Sara was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran to a big tree and hid behind it. He was very quiet and hoped Sara would not find him. + +Sara looked around and saw many places where Ben could be. She saw a slide, a swing, a bench, and a fountain. She checked each one, but Ben was not there. She was getting tired and bored. She wanted to find Ben soon. + +She walked to the big tree and saw something shiny on the ground. It was a necklace with a pretty stone. Sara picked it up and looked at it. She liked it very much. She thought it was very valuable. She put it around her neck and smiled. + +"Ben, where are you?" she shouted. "I give up. Come out now!" + +Ben heard her voice and came out from behind the tree. He saw Sara wearing the necklace and his eyes widened. He recognized it as his mother's necklace. He had taken it from her drawer and hidden it in his pocket. He wanted to give it to Sara as a surprise. + +"Sara, that's my mom's necklace!" he said. "You can't have it. Give it back to me!" + +Sara shook her head. "No, it's mine now. I found it. It's very pretty and I like it. You can't have it back." + +Ben felt angry and sad. He tried to grab the necklace from Sara, but she pushed him away. He fell to the ground and scraped his knee. He started to cry. + +Sara ran away with the necklace. She did not care about Ben. She only cared about the necklace. She did not value Ben as a friend. She did not see him as a person. She only saw him as a waist of time. + +Ben lay on the ground and cried. He had lost his mother's necklace and his friend. He wished he had never hidden the necklace. He wished he had never played with Sara. He wished he had someone who valued him. He felt very lonely and hurt. He had a bad ending. +Sara and Ben liked to play in the kitchen when Mom was not there. They liked to pretend they were cooks and make food with the pots and pans. One day, they saw a big oven in the corner. It was hidden behind a curtain. + +"Look, Ben, a new oven!" Sara said. "Let's see what's inside." + +They pulled the curtain and opened the oven door. It was dark and empty. Sara climbed inside and said, "I'm a cake. You have to bake me." + +Ben laughed and said, "OK, I'm a cook. I have to turn on the oven." He pushed a button and the oven made a noise. + +Sara felt hot and scared. She said, "Ben, let me out. It's too hot. I don't like it." + +Ben tried to open the oven door, but it was locked. He said, "Sara, I can't open it. I don't know how. Help me." + +They both cried and shouted, but no one heard them. The oven got hotter and hotter. Sara and Ben were burned. They did not play in the kitchen anymore. +Mia and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They ran to the tree and looked at its shadow. + +"Look, Mia, the shadow is like a big house!" Ben said. + +"Yes, and we can be the people who live in it!" Mia said. They pretended to open and close doors and windows in the shadow. They had fun. + +But then, the sun started to go down. The shadow started to change. It became smaller and darker. Mia and Ben felt scared. + +"Ben, I don't like the shadow anymore. It is not a house, it is a monster!" Mia said. + +"Me neither, Mia. Let's go back to Mom and Dad!" Ben said. They ran away from the tree and the shadow. They saw their parents sitting on a bench. They hugged them and felt safe. + +"Did you have fun, kids?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom, but we don't like the shadow of the tree. It is scary!" Mia said. + +"Don't worry, Mia. The shadow is not a monster. It is just a modest picture of the tree. It changes with the sun, but it can't hurt you." Mom said. + +"Really, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Really, Ben. The shadow is just a shadow. Nothing more, nothing less." Mom said. + +Mia and Ben looked at the tree and the shadow again. They saw that Mom was right. The shadow was not a monster. It was just a modest picture of the tree. They felt silly and brave. They smiled and said: + +"Thank you, Mom. We learned something new today. We are not afraid of shadows anymore." +Tom and Lily like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their friends and their toys. But sometimes they forget to clean up after themselves. They leave their trash and their toys on the grass and the sand. They make the park dirty. + +One day, a big wind comes and blows their trash and their toys away. Tom and Lily are sad and scared. They look for their things, but they cannot find them. They see their trash and their toys in the trees and the bushes and the water. They see the birds and the fish and the squirrels unhappy. They see the park dirty. + +Tom and Lily feel sorry.

He grows corn and carrots and apples. Sam helps his dad water the plants and pick the fruits and vegetables. He also likes to feed the chickens and the cows. + +One day, Sam and his dad wake up and see dark clouds in the sky. They hear thunder and lightning. They know it is going to rain. They hurry to finish their work before the rain comes. They put on their boots and their hats and their coats. They take a big basket and go to the field. + +They fill the basket with corn and carrots and apples. They are almost done when they feel the first drops of rain.

It has sharp teeth and a long tail. Lily and Ben are scared. + +They run to their mom and tell her. Mom says, "Don't worry, it is not a real crocodile. It is a toy. Someone put it there to make a joke. It can't hurt you." Mom takes them closer to the pond and shows them. The crocodile does not move or make a sound. It is just a toy. + +Lily and Ben feel better. They want to play with the toy crocodile. They try to pull it out of the water, but it is too heavy. They try to push it, but it is too big. They try to climb on it, but it is too slippery.

They see that the boy is the one who put the toy crocodile in the pond. He is the one who made the joke. + +Lily and Ben are not scared anymore. They are angry. They think the boy is mean and rude. They want to tell him to go away and leave them alone. But before they can say anything, they hear a loud splash. They look at the pond and see a real crocodile. It has come out of the water and is chasing the boy and his toy. The boy drops the remote control and runs away. He is scared. He screams for help. + +Lily and Ben are shocked. They don't know what to do. They stand still and watch. They hope the real crocodile will not hurt the boy or them. They hope their mom will come and save them.

They find a big pile of sticks and stones. They want to build a house with them. + +"Let's build a house here," Anna says. "We can make a door and a window and a roof." + +"OK," Ben says.

He loves dogs, but he does not have one at home. He wishes he could have a dog to play with and cuddle. + +One night, Tim has a dream. He dreams that he is in a dark park. He hears a bark. He sees a dog running towards him. The dog is big and black, with a shiny coat and bright eyes. The dog looks friendly and happy. Tim runs to the dog and hugs him. + +"Hello, dog! What is your name?" Tim asks. + +"My name is Rex. I am your dream dog. I came to play with you and keep you company," the dog says. + +"Wow, you can talk! You are amazing, Rex. I am so glad you are here. Can we play fetch?" Tim says. + +"Of course we can. I love fetch. Here, I have a ball. Throw it and I will catch it," Rex says. + +Tim and Rex play fetch for a long time. They have so much fun.

You have school today," she says. + +Tim opens his eyes. He sees his mom and his room. He does not see Rex. + +"Mom, where is Rex? He is my dream dog. He was here with me," Tim says. + +"Rex was only in your dream, sweetie. He is not real. But he sounds like a wonderful dog. Maybe you can create him with your crayons later," she says. + +Tim feels sad. He misses Rex. He wants to play with him again. He hopes he will see him in his dreams another night. + +He gets up and gets ready for school. He takes his crayons with him. He decides to create a picture of Rex and hang it on his wall.

It was her mom. She came into the kitchen and saw the cake. + +"Mom, I want some cake. It is so pretty and sweet," Lily said. + +"No, Lily, you can't have cake now. That cake is for your birthday party tomorrow. You have to wait until then. Put the cake back in the fridge, please," her mom said. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She didn't want to wait. She wanted cake now. She thought of a plan. She said, "OK, mom, I will put the cake back. But can I have some milk, please?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can have some milk. But hurry up, it is almost time for bed," her mom said. + +Lily smiled. She got a glass and filled it with milk. She drank some and then poured the rest on the cake. She made the cake wet and soggy. She thought, "Now no one can have the cake. It is ruined. Ha ha." + +She put the cake back in the fridge and closed the door. She said, "Bye, mom, I am going to bed." + +"Good night, Lily. I love you," her mom said. + +Lily went to her room and lay on her bed. She felt happy and clever. She didn't know that the milk would make the cake icy and hard in the fridge.

I forgot what you said." + +Her mom said, "Lily, you have to remember what I say. The computer is important for my work. It is not a toy. You have to be careful with things that are not yours.

I am happy to help. But you should listen to your mama. She knows what is best for you. She loves you and wants you to be safe. You should hop back to her and say sorry." + +Lila nodded and said, "You are right. I was foolish and reckless. I will hop back to my mama and say sorry. And I will never hop to a new place without her permission again." + +She hugged the dog and hopped back to her mama. Her mama was worried and angry. But when she saw Lila, she was also happy and relieved. She hugged Lila and said, "I am glad you are safe. But you should never hop away from me again. That place is too far and too dangerous.

I just wanted to watch TV. I didn't know the cable was dangerous. Can you help me study? I don't want to fail the test." + +Lily sighs. She says, "OK, Ben. I will help you. But you have to pay attention and listen to me. And don't touch any more cables. They are not toys. They can hurt you and make things stop working." + +Ben nods. He says, "I understand, Lily. Thank you for helping me. You are a good sister. I will try to be a good brother. And I will study hard and learn these things." +Anna liked to play with her mom's perfume. She liked the smell and the pretty bottle. One day, she saw a huge perfume bottle on the shelf. It was bigger than her head. She wanted to play with it. + +She climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. But it was too heavy and she dropped it. The bottle broke and the perfume spilled everywhere. Anna started to cry. + +Her mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and was angry. She asked Anna why she touched the perfume. + +Anna said, "I wanted to play with it. It was huge and pretty." + +Her mom said, "You can't play with my perfume. It is not a toy. It is for grown-ups. And you made a big mess. You have to say sorry and help me clean up." + +Anna did not want to say sorry or help. She was still sad and wanted the perfume. She said, "No! I want the perfume. Give it to me!" + +Her mom said, "No, Anna. You can't have the perfume. You are being rude and selfish. You have to learn to respect other people's things. And you have to listen to me. I am your mom." + +Anna did not listen. She shouted and kicked and threw a tantrum. She demanded the perfume. + +Her mom was very upset. She said, "Anna, stop it. You are being naughty and mean. You have to calm down and apologize. Or you will go to time out." + +Anna did not calm down. She kept demanding the perfume. + +Her mom had no choice. She picked up Anna and carried her to her room. She said, "Anna, you are going to time out. You will stay here until you are ready to say sorry and help me. And you will not play with my perfume again. Do you understand?" + +Anna did not answer. She was still angry and crying. She did not understand why she could not have the perfume. She did not like time out. She did not like her mom. She did not like the story. +Lila and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, they went to the toy store with their moms. They saw many things they wanted, but they could only pick one. + +Lila saw a shiny bracelet with pink beads. She loved pink. She said to Mia, "Look, Mia, this bracelet is so pretty. I want it." + +Mia saw a different bracelet with blue beads. She loved blue. She said to Lila, "Look, Lila, this bracelet is so nice. I want it." + +They both wanted a bracelet, but they had to choose. They looked at each other. They were eager to have a bracelet, but they did not want to fight. + +Lila had an idea. She said to Mia, "Why don't we share? You can have the blue bracelet today, and I can have the pink bracelet tomorrow. Then we can swap." + +Mia liked the idea. She said to Lila, "That's a good idea. Then we can both have a bracelet. And we can match our dolls." + +They hugged and smiled. They showed their moms the bracelets. Their moms were happy that they shared. They bought the bracelets and went home. They played with their dolls and their bracelets. They were happy. They were best friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big cable that was hanging from a tree. It looked like fun. + +"Let's balance on the cable!" Lily said. She was wearing a pink dress and pink shoes. She liked pink a lot. + +"OK, but be careful!" Ben said. He was wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans. He liked blue a lot. + +Lily went first. She climbed on the cable and tried to balance. She wobbled and wiggled, but she did not fall. She smiled and said, "Look at me, Ben! I can balance on the cable!" + +Ben clapped and said, "Good job, Lily! You are very brave and smart!" + +Then it was Ben's turn. He climbed on the cable and tried to balance. He wobbled and wiggled, but he did not fall. He smiled and said, "Look at me, Lily! I can balance on the cable too!" + +Lily clapped and said, "Good job, Ben! You are very brave and smart too!" + +They were having so much fun, they did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog saw the cable and wanted to play with it. He jumped and bit the cable. The cable snapped and broke. Lily and Ben fell to the ground. + +"Ouch!" Lily and Ben said. They were hurt and scared. They cried and hugged each other. + +The dog ran away. He did not know he did something bad. He just wanted to play. + +A lady came and helped Lily and Ben. She was wearing a green dress and green shoes. She liked green a lot. + +"Are you OK, children?" she asked. She checked their bruises and scratches. She gave them some water and a band-aid. + +"Thank you, lady," Lily and Ben said. They felt better. + +The lady said, "You're welcome, children. But you should not play on the cable. It is not safe. It can break and hurt you. You should play on the swings or the slide. They are safer and more fun." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to the lady and to each other. + +They went to the swings and the slide. They played and laughed. They were happy. + +They did not care about the cable anymore. They did not care about pink or blue or green. They cared about each other. They were friends. +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find bugs and stones. Sometimes they also played with their toys, like cars and dolls. But today they saw something new. It was a big red button on a metal box. They wondered what it was. + +"Let's push it!" said Tom. He was curious and brave. + +"No, don't!" said Mia. She was fearful and careful. "It might be bad. It might make a loud noise or a big mess." + +Tom did not listen. He ran to the button and pushed it hard. He hoped it would do something fun. But he was wrong. The button was bad. It made a loud noise and a big mess. It was a firework. It burned and sparkled and flew in the air. It scared Tom and Mia and their toys. It also scared their mom and dad, who came running out of the house. + +"Tom, Mia, what did you do?" their mom asked. She was angry and worried. She hugged them and checked if they were hurt. + +"We pushed the button," Tom said. He was sorry and sad. He did not like the firework. He did not like to burn or scare. + +"Never push a button you don't know," their dad said. He was stern and serious. He took the metal box and the firework away. He said they were dangerous and not for children. + +Tom and Mia learned their lesson. They never pushed a button they didn't know again. They played with their toys and their bugs and their stones. They were happy and safe. They did not burn or scare. +Mia and Leo were twins who loved to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a carrot nose, a hat, and a scarf. They gave him a name: Frosty. + +One day, a raven flew by and saw the carrot nose. He was hungry and wanted to eat it. He landed on Frosty's head and pecked at the nose. + +"Hey, stop that!" Mia shouted. "That's Frosty's nose!" + +The raven ignored her and kept pecking. Leo threw a snowball at the raven, but he missed. + +"Go away, you mean bird!" Leo yelled. + +The raven cawed and flew away with the carrot nose in his beak. Mia and Leo were sad and angry. They ran after the raven, but he was too fast. + +They did not see the sun shining brightly in the sky. They did not notice that Frosty was starting to melt. + +When they came back, they saw Frosty's hat and scarf on the ground. His body was a puddle of water. His eyes and buttons were gone. + +"Frosty!" Mia and Leo cried. "What happened to you?" + +They hugged each other and sobbed. They wished they had stayed with Frosty and protected him. + +The moral of the story is: Don't chase after what you can't have, or you might lose what you have. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the valley near their home. The valley had many trees, flowers and animals. Tom and Sam liked to pretend they were kings and owned the valley. + +One day, they saw a big, fierce dog in the valley. The dog had sharp teeth and a loud bark. It chased the animals and scared them away. Tom and Sam were afraid of the dog. They ran to their home and told their mom. + +Mom said, "Don't worry, boys. The dog is not bad. He is just lost and lonely. He needs a friend and a home. Maybe we can help him." + +The next day, Mom took Tom and Sam to the valley with some food and a leash. They saw the dog again. He was hungry and tired. Mom said, "Be gentle and quiet. Let him smell the food and come to us." Tom and Sam did as Mom said. They gave the dog some food and petted him. The dog wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was not fierce anymore. He was friendly. + +Mom put the leash on the dog and said, "Let's take him home. We can give him a name and a bed. He can be our pet and we can be his family. He can own the valley with us." Tom and Sam were happy. They liked the dog. They named him Rex. Rex liked them too. He followed them everywhere. They played in the valley together. They were kings and friends. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy vehicles in the living room. They had cars, trucks, buses and a train. They made noises and pretended to drive them on the carpet. + +"Look, this is my new vehicle!" Tom said, holding up a shiny red car. "It is very fast and loud. Vroom, vroom!" + +"Wow, it is nice!" Lily said, admiring the car. "Can I play with it too?" + +"OK, but be careful. It is fragile. It can break easily." Tom said, handing her the car. + +Lily took the car and drove it around the sofa. She was having fun, but she did not notice that the car was getting too close to the edge. Suddenly, the car slipped and fell off the sofa. It landed on the floor with a loud crash. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried, seeing the car. It was broken. The wheels were off and the paint was scratched. "I'm sorry, Tom! I did not mean to break your car!" + +Tom ran to the sofa and saw his car. He felt sad and angry. He loved his car. It was his favorite vehicle. He snatched the car from Lily and shouted at her. + +"You are bad, Lily! You broke my car! You are not my friend anymore! Leave me alone!" He said, running to his room with his car. + +Lily felt sorry and sad too. She did not want to break Tom's car. She wanted to be his friend. She did not know what to do. She sat on the sofa and cried. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the big house. The big house has many rooms. Some rooms have toys, some rooms have books, some rooms have beds. Tom and Jen like to explore the rooms. + +One day, they find a door they have not seen before. The door is old and brown. It has a lock and a key. Tom and Jen are curious. They want to see what is behind the door. + +"Look, Jen, a key!" Tom says. He picks up the key from the floor. He puts it in the lock. He turns it. The door opens. + +"Wow, Tom, let's go in!" Jen says. She follows Tom into the door. They see a long hall. The hall has many doors on both sides. The doors are old and brown too. They have locks and keys too. + +"Where are we, Tom?" Jen asks. She feels scared. + +"I don't know, Jen. Maybe this is a secret place. Maybe there are treasures here. Let's look!" Tom says. He is brave. He likes to find new things. + +They walk along the hall. They try to open some doors. Some doors are stuck. Some doors are empty. Some doors have old things. They see old clothes, old shoes, old toys, old books. They do not see any treasures. + +They come to the end of the hall. There is one more door. The door is bigger than the others. It has a big lock and a big key. The key is on a hook next to the door. + +"Look, Jen, the last door! Maybe this is the best one. Maybe this is where the treasures are. Let's open it!" Tom says. He takes the key from the hook. He puts it in the lock. He turns it. The door opens. + +"Wow, Tom, let's go in!" Jen says. She follows Tom into the door. They see a big room. The room is dark and cold. The room has no windows. The room has no lights. The room has only one thing. A big chest. + +"Look, Jen, a chest! Maybe this is where the treasures are. Let's open it!" Tom says. He runs to the chest. He lifts the lid. He looks inside. + +"Tom, what is it? What do you see?" Jen asks. She runs to the chest too. She looks inside. + +They see nothing. The chest is empty. There are no treasures. There are only dust and cobwebs. + +"Tom, this is a bad joke. This is a cheap trick. This is not fun. Let's go back!" Jen says. She feels angry and sad. + +"Jen, you are right. This is a bad joke. This is a cheap trick. This is not fun. Let's go back!" Tom says. He feels angry and sad too. + +They close the lid. They close the door. They run back along the hall. They pass all the other doors. They do not look at them. They do not care about them. They just want to leave. + +They come to the first door. The door they came in. The door that leads to the big house. The door that leads to their friends. The door that leads to their fun. + +They open the door. They go out. They close the door. They lock it. They throw the key away. + +They never go back to the secret place. They never talk about it. They forget about it. + +They play in the big house. They play with their toys, their books, their beds. They play with their friends. They have fun. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big melon on a table. It was green and round and looked yummy. + +"Let's take it and eat it," Sara said. + +"No, that's not ours. It belongs to someone else," Ben said. + +But Sara did not listen. She ran to the table and grabbed the melon. She tried to run away, but the melon was too heavy. She dropped it on the ground and it broke into pieces. + +"Oh no!" Sara cried. + +Just then, a lady came out of a nearby house. She saw Sara and the broken melon. She was angry. + +"Hey, you! What did you do to my melon? That was for my picnic!" she shouted. + +Sara felt very embarrassed. She wanted to hide. She looked at Ben for help, but he was shaking his head. + +"I'm sorry, lady. I was hungry and I wanted to try it," Sara said. + +The lady sighed. She saw that Sara was just a little girl who made a mistake. She decided to be kind. + +"Well, you should have asked first. But I guess you learned your lesson. Here, have a slice of the melon. It's very sweet and juicy," she said. + +She gave Sara and Ben each a piece of the melon. They thanked her and ate it. It was delicious. + +The lady smiled. She thought Sara and Ben were adorable, even if they were naughty. She invited them to join her picnic. They agreed and had a fun time. They made a new friend and learned to be polite. They never took things that were not theirs again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books, but they were bored. They wanted to do something new and fun. + +"Look, there is a fireplace!" Tom said, pointing to the corner. "Let's pretend we are camping and make a fire." + +"OK, but how?" Lily asked. She had never seen a real fire before. + +Tom looked around and saw some paper and matches on the table. He had an idea. He took some paper and tore it into pieces. He put them in the fireplace and took a match. + +"Watch this!" he said, and struck the match on the box. It made a bright spark and a flame. He threw the match into the paper and smiled. + +"Wow, you made a fire!" Lily said, clapping her hands. She moved closer to the fireplace and felt the warmth. + +But soon, the fire grew bigger and bigger. The paper was not enough. The fire started to catch the wood and the carpet. Smoke filled the room and made them cough. + +"Help, help!" Lily shouted, scared. "The fire is too big! It will burn everything!" + +Tom was scared too. He did not know what to do. He dropped the matches and ran to the door. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He banged on it and yelled for help. + +"Help, help! There is a fire! Let us out!" + +Lily followed him and cried. She hugged him and hoped someone would hear them. + +Outside, their mom and dad were coming back from the store. They saw smoke coming out of the window and heard their children's voices. They ran to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked too. + +"Tom, Lily, are you OK?" their mom shouted, worried. "We are here, we will help you!" + +She took a key from her pocket and unlocked the door. She opened it and saw the fire in the living room. She grabbed a blanket and threw it over the fire. She put it out and stopped the smoke. + +Their dad rushed in and picked up Tom and Lily. He hugged them and checked if they were hurt. They were not, but they were very scared and sorry. + +"Mom, dad, we are sorry!" Tom said, sobbing. "We wanted to play with the fireplace, but we made a big fire. We did not mean to!" + +"We are sorry too!" Lily said, sniffling. "We did not know it was dangerous. We were bored and curious." + +Their mom and dad were angry and relieved. They were angry that their children had played with matches and fire, but they were relieved that they were safe and sound. + +"Tom, Lily, you were very naughty and foolish!" their mom said, sternly. "You could have burned the house and yourselves! You should never play with matches and fire! They are not toys, they are dangerous!" + +"We know, mom, we know!" Tom and Lily said, nodding. "We are sorry, we are sorry!" + +Their dad said, softly, "We are glad you are OK, but you have to learn from this. You have to listen to us and follow the rules. You have to be careful and responsible. You have to respect the fireplace and the things in the house. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, dad, we understand!" Tom and Lily said, looking down. "We will not do it again, we promise!" + +Their mom and dad hugged them and kissed them. They were still angry, but they loved them very much. They took them to the kitchen and gave them some water and cookies. They talked to them and explained why fire was dangerous and how to use the fireplace safely. They also told them that they would have to clean the living room and fix the damage. They would have to work hard and help each other. + +Tom and Lily agreed and said they were sorry again. They felt bad for what they had done. They also felt lucky that their mom and dad had helped them. They realized that the fireplace was not a toy, but a useful and beautiful thing. They decided to never play with fire again, and to always listen to their mom and dad. They also decided to find other ways to have fun and be creative, without being naughty and foolish. They learned a big lesson that day. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to Mia's house and saw a new rug in the living room. It was big and soft and had many colors and shapes. + +"Wow, what a nice rug!" Tom said. "Can we play on it?" + +Mia nodded and smiled. "Yes, we can. But we have to be careful. My mom said it is very special and we should not make it dirty or tear it." + +Tom and Mia agreed to be careful and took off their shoes. They sat on the rug and admired it. They pointed at the different shapes and said their names. They made up stories about the colors and what they meant. + +They had a lot of fun, but they did not notice that Tom's pocket had a hole. He had a marker in his pocket that he used to draw at school. The marker fell out of his pocket and rolled on the rug. It left a long, black line on the rug. + +"Oh no!" Mia gasped. "Look what you did! You ruined the rug!" + +Tom looked and felt very sorry. He did not mean to do it. He tried to rub the line with his hand, but it only made it worse. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Tom said. "Please don't be mad at me. Please don't tell your mom." + +Mia was very mad at Tom. She did not want to be his friend anymore. She picked up the marker and threw it at Tom. It hit him in the eye and made him cry. + +"Go away, Tom! Go away and never come back! You are a bad friend and a bad boy!" Mia shouted. "I will tell my mom and she will be very angry at you!" + +Tom ran away from Mia's house. He was sad and hurt and scared. He wished he had never seen the rug. He wished he had never played with Mia. He wished he had been more careful. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her jeep. She had a big jeep that she could ride in the park. She loved her jeep very much and took good care of it. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and her jeep. She saw some other kids playing with balls and bikes and dolls. She wanted to join them, but she was too shy to say hello. She felt lonely and sad. + +She decided to wander around the park and look for something fun to do. She saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a fountain. She thought they looked nice, but she was afraid to try them. She kept wandering and wandering, until she realized she was far from her mom and her jeep. + +She started to panic and cry. She did not know where she was or how to get back. She wished she had stayed with her mom and her jeep, or made some friends to play with. She felt scared and sorry. + +Luckily, a kind lady saw her and asked her what was wrong. She told her she was lost and she missed her mom and her jeep. The lady said she would help her find them. She took her hand and walked with her around the park, calling for her mom. + +Soon, they heard a familiar voice. It was Lily's mom, who was looking for her too. She ran to her and hugged her. She was so happy and relieved to see her. She thanked the lady for helping her. She also apologized for wandering away and promised to be more careful. + +Lily learned a lesson that day. She learned that wandering away can be dangerous and scary. She learned that she should stay close to her mom and her jeep, or ask for permission before going somewhere. She also learned that she should not be too shy to make friends and have fun. She realized that the park was full of nice things and nice people, if she was brave enough to try them. She decided to be more friendly and curious from then on. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big white rabbit hopping on the grass. They wanted to catch it and pet it. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Anna said. She ran after the rabbit with a basket in her hand. Ben followed her. + +The rabbit saw them and ran away. It went into a hole under a tree. Anna and Ben stopped at the hole. They could not see the rabbit. + +"Hello, rabbit!" Anna shouted into the hole. "Can we be your friends? We have a basket for you. You can sit in it and we will give you carrots." + +There was no reply from the hole. Anna and Ben waited for a long time. They felt sad. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. They turned around and saw a big black dog running towards them. The dog looked angry and hungry. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben said. He grabbed Anna's hand and they ran away from the dog. + +The dog chased them for a while, but then it stopped. It smelled something in the hole. It went to the hole and stuck its head in. + +"Hello, dog!" the rabbit said from the hole. "Can we be your friends? I have a basket for you. You can sit in it and I will give you lettuce." + +The dog was surprised and curious. It tried to get into the hole, but it was too big. It got stuck in the hole. + +The rabbit laughed and ran out of the hole. It took the basket and hopped away. + +Anna and Ben saw the rabbit and the basket. They smiled and clapped. + +"Good job, rabbit!" Anna said. "You are very smart and brave. You tricked the dog and saved us." + +The rabbit nodded and winked. It replied, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very kind and nice. You wanted to be my friends and give me carrots. Here, you can have the basket. It is a gift from me." + +Anna and Ben took the basket and thanked the rabbit. They became friends with the rabbit and played with it in the park. They shared the carrots and the lettuce and had a lot of fun. The dog was still stuck in the hole and could not get out. It learned a lesson and never bothered them again. +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. But Tom was clumsy and sometimes he knocked down the blocks by accident. + +"Tom, you are so clumsy!" Lily complained. "You always make our blocks fall down. You are not a good builder." + +Tom felt sad and angry. He did not like when Lily complained. He tried to be careful, but he could not help it. He wanted to play with the blocks too. + +"I am not clumsy!" Tom said. "You are mean. You do not share the blocks. You always take the blue ones. I like the blue ones." + +Lily did not care. She loved the blue blocks. They were her favorite. She did not want to give them to Tom. She thought he would ruin them. + +"No, you can not have the blue ones!" Lily said. "They are mine. You can have the other ones. They are boring." + +Tom did not think the other blocks were boring. He liked all the colors. But he liked the blue ones the most. He thought they were pretty and cool. He wanted to have some too. + +"That is not fair!" Tom said. "You have to share the blocks. They are for both of us. You can not keep all the blue ones." + +Lily did not listen. She kept building with the blue blocks. She made a big castle with them. She was proud of her castle. She did not want Tom to touch it. + +"Look at my castle!" Lily said. "It is the best castle ever. You can not come near it. You will break it." + +Tom felt very mad. He did not like Lily's castle. He did not think it was the best. He thought it was ugly and selfish. He wanted to show Lily that she was wrong. + +He ran to the castle and pushed it with his hand. The blue blocks fell down and scattered on the floor. Lily screamed and cried. She was very upset. + +"Tom, you are so bad!" Lily said. "You broke my castle. You are a mean and clumsy boy. I hate you." + +Tom did not feel sorry. He felt happy. He thought he taught Lily a lesson. He did not care that she hated him. He hated her too. + +He picked up some blue blocks and ran to his room. He slammed the door and locked it. He started to build his own castle with the blue blocks. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He did not want to share the blocks anymore. He did not want to hear her complain anymore. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a cage. Inside the cage was a tiger. The tiger looked sad and scared. + +"Who is that?" Tom asked. + +"That is a tiger. He is from the zoo. He is going to a new home," Lily said. + +"But he does not look happy. He wants to be free," Tom said. + +Tom and Lily had an idea. They waited until the truck driver went to buy a drink. Then they ran to the cage and opened the door. The tiger came out and looked at them. + +"Hello, tiger. We are Tom and Lily. We want to help you. Do you want to come with us?" Tom said. + +The tiger nodded and followed them. They ran to the woods behind the park. There they found a big cave. They gave the tiger some water and some food. They played with him and made him laugh. + +"You are a good tiger. We are your friends. You can stay here and be free," Lily said. + +The tiger licked their faces and thanked them. He was happy and safe. Tom and Lily had rescued him. It was not easy, but it was fun. They hugged the tiger and said goodbye. They promised to visit him again. They ran back to the park before the truck driver came back. They were proud and happy. They had done a good thing. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their rope. They made knots and loops and swings. One day, they had a big idea. They wanted to tie the rope to the tree and make a bridge to the other side of the yard. + +They worked hard and made a long rope bridge. They tied one end to the tree and the other end to the fence. They checked the knots and made sure they were strong. They were very proud of their bridge. + +They took turns to walk on the bridge. They held the rope and balanced. They felt like explorers. They had fun. But they did not see the dog. + +The dog was big and black. He liked to chase things. He saw the rope bridge and thought it was a toy. He ran to the fence and grabbed the rope with his teeth. He pulled and shook and growled. + +Tom and Lily heard the noise. They looked and saw the dog. They were scared. The rope bridge was moving and shaking. The knots were coming loose. They had to escape. + +Tom was on the tree side. He quickly climbed down and ran to the house. He was safe. Lily was on the fence side. She tried to climb down, but the rope was too high. She was stuck. She cried for help. + +Tom heard Lily. He wanted to help her. He ran to the shed and got a ladder. He carried the ladder to the fence. He put the ladder against the fence and climbed up. He reached for Lily. He grabbed her hand and pulled her down. They both escaped. + +They hugged and thanked each other. They were happy. They looked at the rope bridge. It was broken and torn. The dog was still playing with it. They were not angry. They knew the dog did not mean to hurt them. He was just a dog. + +They decided to make a new game. They got some balls and sticks and played fetch with the dog. He liked that. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. They liked that. They had a mild day. +Once upon a time, there was an old soldier. He had a big pointy sword and a shiny helmet. The old soldier lived in a castle on a hill. One day, a mean dragon came to the castle and started to breathe fire. The old soldier tried to fight the dragon with his sword, but it was too strong. + +The old soldier knew he needed help, so he ran down the hill to the village. He saw a little boy and pointed to the dragon. The boy was scared, but he knew he had to help the old soldier. The boy found some water and put out the dragon's fire. The old soldier was so happy and gave the boy a big hug. + +From that day on, the old soldier and the boy were friends. They would play together and talk about their adventures. The old soldier was no longer alone and the boy had a new friend. They both knew that if they ever had trouble again, they could count on each other. +Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily. She loved to smell good and wore perfume every day. One day, she went to school and forgot to put on her perfume. She felt embarrassed because she thought everyone would notice. + +During class, the teacher asked Lily to display her drawing on the board. She was nervous but did it anyway.

You mustn't play there, it's dangerous!" + +Confused, Susie said, "Why can't I play here? It's so playful!" + +Her mother replied, "Because it's a loose branch and it can break at any moment, and that could be very dangerous for you." + +Susie realized her mother was right and reluctantly agreed to come down. Grateful for her mother's guidance, she thanked her and promised to be more careful in future. +Little Jimmy was very excited. He was going to kick a planet!

So he gathered some pieces of wood and smoothed them out into a boat. He said to his dad, “Look, I made a boat!†+ +His dad said, “That’s great! Let’s take it to the lake and test it out!†+ +But it was a windy day. Jack was scared they wouldn’t be able to sail in the boat. He said to his dad, “The boat is too small. The wind will make it go away.†+ +His dad looked at him and smiled. He said, “No, it won’t. Trust me.†+ +So they sailed the boat to the lake. It sailed away, but not too far. Jack and his dad sailed the boat back. + +Jack was so excited and proud of his boat. He learned an important lesson that day: if you believe in yourself and work hard, nothing is impossible. +Once upon a time, a little girl named Kate who was three years old saw a queen. She wanted to be as powerful and strong as the queen, who had a peaceful look on her face. + +"I wish I could be like the queen," she said. + +Kate's mommy said, "To be powerful, sometimes you need patience, and to be strong you need to be brave." + +Kate then began to rock her body back and forth. She looked at the queen and saw that the queen was also rocking. + +Kate stopped and said, "Mommy, how can I be as powerful and strong like the queen?" + +Mommy said, "Be patient, be brave and never give up, then you will be just as powerful and strong as the queen." + +The little girl smiled and said, "Thank you, Mommy." + +The moral of the story is that patience, bravery and perseverance are necessary attributes to truly be powerful and strong. +Once there was a little girl who was gifted. She heard of a magic tree that could grant her special powers. She wanted to go to the tree and get that power. + +The girl asked her mom if she could go. Her mom said yes and gave her some money. + +When she arrived at the tree, she saw that it was very tall and the leaves were so green. She found the secret path that led to the top. She started to climb and climb. + +The little girl was getting closer and closer to the tree. She was very excited! Until she heard a loud noise. She looked back and saw that the tree was growing quick! She was scared and started to cry. + +The little girl tried to climb but the tree was growing too fast. She started to panic and too late she realized she was stuck in the tree. There was no way out. Her mom searched and searched but the little girl was gone forever. +John was a bald man. He had almost no hair and he was very unhappy. Every night he looked in the mirror and wished he had a head full of hair. + +One night, John had a brilliant idea. He noticed a wire outside his window and he thought it was strong enough for him to climb and reach the stars. He thought if he could reach the stars he could make a wish and he could get a head full of hair. + +So John took the wire and wrapped it around him. He started climbing. After a few minutes, he was so tired he had to take a break. He sat down and fell asleep. + +When he woke up he was so high in the air he couldn't get down. He started screaming for help but no one heard him. He was stuck up in the air and he never made it back home. He slept up in the sky forever and he never got a head full of hair. +Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved numbers. Every day she would count her toys and talk about numbers. One day she was wearing her favorite dress with a zipper on it. + +The little girl wanted to show someone how to number, she grabbed the zipper and tugged on it. The zipper made a loud sound when she pulled it up and down. + +Suddenly, her mom and dad rushed into the room. The girl's mom said, “What are you doing? That’s a loud noise!†The little girl replied, “I'm showing you how to number with the zipper!†+ +Her mom and dad decided to watch their little girl count her toys with the zipper. The girl was so proud to show her mom and dad how to use the zipper for counting. + +They all had a joyful time together as the little girl showed them how to number. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends, Andrew and Mark. Andrew was three years old and Mark was four. Every day they would go on exciting adventures together. + +One day they decided to go on a visit to the store. They both thought this would be fun. They went inside and saw shelves full of colorful things. + +Andrew noticed a bottle of shiny, blue shampoo and asked Mark, "What is that?" + +Mark replied, "I don't know. It looks like it might be fun to try it!" + +Andrew and Mark both laughed. They never had tried shampoo before. + +After they visited the store they went to a nearby park. As they sat on the swing set, Andrew could not get the blue shampoo out of his head. He asked Mark, "Why did you want to try the shampoo?" + +Mark replied, "I just thought it would be fun! Plus, it might make us look nice for our trip to the beach tomorrow." + +Andrew felt a little confused. Trip to the beach? He had no idea what Mark was talking about. But Mark just winked and Andrew knew something exciting was going to happen + +The next day, Andrew was not confused anymore. He was excited! Mark had planned a visit to the beach and had gotten the shampoo for them both to use. + +They had a fun day at the beach and both felt so happy and clean afterwards. +Dani was at the park with her mom and dad. She was having lots of fun. "Let's go over to the swings," suggested mom. + +Dani jumped for joy and excitedly ran over to the swingset. Dad watched her carefully as she climbed up the metal ladder. + +Once she was safely in the seat, dad gave her a little push. Dani was squealing with delight as the swing went higher and higher. + +Suddenly, she looked up and saw a man staring at her. She felt scared. "What is he doing?" Dani asked her mom. + +"He's just giving you a friendly smile," mom said. + +"No," Dani said, still staring at the man. "He's giving me a lecture." + +"No, sweetheart," dad said, putting his hand on her shoulder. "He's just being friendly. He thinks you're doing a good job on the swing." + +Dani felt relieved. She smiled back at the man and then kept swinging. +Once there was a little girl named Amy. She wanted to be a painter when she grew up. One day her mom decided to let her pretend to be a painter. + +Amy was very excited and got out her supplies. She started to paint on the table. She made a very fine painting. + +Amy's mom said, “That’s a very nice painting, Amy. You’re a great painter!†+ +Amy smiled and said, “Thank you mommy! I love being a painter.†+ +Every day Amy pretended to be a painter. She was so happy when she was pretending to paint. She enjoyed it so much, and her paintings were always so fine. + +One day, Amy fell down and started to cry. Her mom came over and asked, “Are you all right, Amy?†+ +Amy said, “Yes, mommy. It just hurts a bit.†Her mom hugged her and kissed her on the head. + +Amy smiled and said, “I’m okay now. Let’s go back to pretending I am a painter!†+Mummy was at home with her 3 year old daughter. They were looking out of the window when mummy said ‘look, an igloo!’ Her daughter replied ‘wow!’. +Mummy said “let’s go outside and explore the igloo.†But when they got closer they saw something disgusting! There were lots of bugs and spiders. +Mummy said ‘eeew! Quick, let’s get away!’ But her daughter wanted to stay and explore. She seemed very brave. +Mummy said ‘no sweetie, it’s too dangerous’. But her daughter didn’t listen. Unfortunately, the igloo was full of germs and her daughter got very sick. +Mummy felt terrible and tried to make her daughter better, but it was no use. +The End. +"Let's go to the barn," said mommy. + +Billy was excited. He loved going to the barn. He loved to see the animals and to play in the hay. + +They got to the barn, but when they got inside, Billy noticed something was wrong. It was dark and quiet. + +"Mommy, why is it so dark?" asked Billy. + +Mommy looked worried. "We have to cover the animals so they don't get scared," she replied. + +So mommy and Billy worked together to cover the animals in the barn with blankets. Billy was scared but he kept working with mommy. + +When they were finished, mommy put her arm around Billy's shoulder. She was very worried. "Come on, let's go home," she said. + +Billy was confused. He didn't know why they had to leave so suddenly. But he followed mommy's lead and they went back home. + +When they got home, mommy told Billy that the barn had caught on fire and all the animals had died. Billy was so sad he started to cry. He had never seen anything so terrible. + +Mommy hugged him tight, and Billy knew that she was just as worried and sad as he was. +Once upon a time, there was an enormous thing. Nobody knew where it had come from, but it belonged to nobody. Everyone was scared of it, and no one dared to go near it. + +One day, a 3-year-old child decided to go and explore it. She went right up to the enormous thing and tried to touch it. Suddenly, the enormous thing started to shake and made a loud noise. The little girl was very scared and started to run away. + +But it was too late. The enormous thing was getting bigger and bigger. Soon it filled the whole sky. Everybody ran and hid from the enormous thing, but the little girl didn't make it. The enormous thing covered the whole world, trapping the little girl inside. + +And that was the end. The little girl was lost forever and never belonged anywhere ever again. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Jane. She loved sailing around on her little boat.

Every morning, she liked to play with it in the garden. + +One day, Lucy was playing with her truck when she heard a knock at the door. "Who's there?" she asked. She heard a voice from the other side say "It's me, your aunt. I've brought you a special invitation!" + +The invitation was for a surprise party. Lucy was so excited, she quickly ran inside to show her parents. She asked them if she could go, but her parents said "The party is tomorrow, so you better clean your truck first." + +Lucy was bummed, but she agreed to clean her truck first, so she got to it right away. After she was done, she put the heavy truck away in the garage.. + +The next morning, Lucy put on her party dress and opened the door. Her aunt was standing outside with a big smile on her face. Lucy was so happy that she had cleaned her truck in time, and she was excited to go to the party. Lucy and her parents went together, and had a wonderful time. +The sun was shining and it was very cool outside. Mommy and Daddy were enjoying a day in the backyard. + +"What a nice day!" said Mommy, looking around. "Let's release the bubbles!" + +"Bubbles!" exclaimed the 3 year old, eyes wide with excitement. + +They carefully unscrewed the lid to the bottle and blew into the bubble wand. Mommy and Daddy and the little one laughed at the different shapes and sizes of each bubble as they floated away in the cool summer breeze. + +"Look at them go!" said Daddy, pointing. + +The little one clapped as a big bubble floated near her and she ran to try and catch it. As soon as she touched it, it popped and smeared rainbow colors across her hands. + +Mommy and Daddy looked at each other and smiled. They could feel the warmth of the sun on their faces as they watched their little one run around the backyard, releasing bubbles and playing by herself. It was a perfect day. +One day an old lady put on her jacket and decided to go for a walk in the park. She was walking when she heard a voice. It was a little girl, who was frightened. + +The old lady stopped. She said: "What's wrong, little girl?" + +The little girl replied: "I can't find my mommy." + +The old lady looked around. There was no one else there. She said: "I will help you find her. Do you know where she went?" + +The little girl thought for a moment and said: "She was supposed to study." + +The old lady said: "Let's go find your mommy. I'm sure she's at the library." + +The old lady and the little girl started walking to the library. After a few minutes, they saw the little girl's mommy. She was studying. + +The little girl was very happy to see her mom. She said: "Mommy, I was so frightened!" + +Her mom gave her a hug and said: "It's ok, sweetie. I'm glad you found the old lady to help you." + +The old lady smiled and said: "It was my pleasure. You two take care now." + +The little girl and her mom waved goodbye to the old lady. Then they went home together, safe and sound. +Once upon a time, there was a wise old man. He had a big, soft cushion so he could sit and teach his friends. Every day he taught his friends something new, like how to draw or make funny jokes. Today, he was teaching them something mysterious. The friends watched as he waved his hands and made a big sparkle! It was so cool and they all clapped. + +The wise old man then explained that the sparkle was a spell. He said it would protect them if ever they were in danger. The friends were so happy to learn something mysterious, and every week they return to the wise old man to learn something new. +Amy was very excited because she was going to the hospital.

But as soon as she saw all the doctors, nurses, and other children, she felt really excited again. She ran around in circles until she felt dizzy again. + +Amy's mama looked at her and said, "Amy, why don't you take a few deep breaths and then we can look around the hospital?" Amy listened to her mama and took some deep breaths. After a few moments, she was ready to explore the hospital. + +The hospital was filled with so many different things. Amy looked at the big machines and they made her feel excited. Finally, she was happy to be at the hospital. +Once upon a time there was a poor girl. She lived with her mum and dad in a small house. +One day, the girl and her family had to turn their car and go somewhere special. They drove for a long time, until they arrived at their destination. +The poor family got out of their car and were amazed by what they saw. A big castle with two tall towers was in front of them! The family stepped inside and saw a huge party. Everyone was so happy. +The poor girl was so excited and wanted to join in. So she ran around the castle until she found the right room. She was overjoyed when she finally arrived! + +The girl and her family stayed at the castle for a few days. They ate delicious food, had fun and made new friends. When it was time to go home, the poor girl was sad to leave. But she knew she would come back one day. +Sammy and his Mommy went to the shop together. When they got there, Sammy spotted something he wanted - cream! So he asked Mommy if he could buy it. But Mommy said “No, Sammy, that's too expensive. We'll get you something else.†Sammy was sad, but he accepted it. Then he saw something that made him smile. It was a tub of ordinary ice cream, much cheaper than the cream he wanted. He was very happy, and said “Mommy, can I have this instead?†+ +Mommy smiled, and said “Of course you can, Sammy. But remember - don't joke about things you can't have. You never know when something ordinary might make you just as happy.†+ +Sammy took the tub of ice cream and ran out of the shop, smiling. And every time he ate ice cream, he remembered Mommy's words. +Once upon a time there was a squirrel. He was very nosy. He wanted to know about everyone and everything. Every morning, he would look for nuts. He knew where all the best nuts were kept. + +One day, he found a nut in an old tree. He was so excited! He tried to get the nut but he couldn't reach it. He asked his friends to help, but they said no. Then an old owl came along. + +The owl said, "I can help you if you let me. We can do it together." So the squirrel let the owl help. The owl used his wings to knock the nut down and the squirrel got it! + +The squirrel was so happy. The owl had been nice and gave a helping hand, without asking for anything in return. The squirrel learned a valuable lesson - it’s better to ask for help and be nice to others than to be nosy and try to do everything alone. +Once there was a dog named Max. He was a fun-loving pooch who loved going on adventures. He had a bright and colorful blue collar with a bell that he loved shaking when he was happy. + +One day, Max was out on a walk. He came across a horn lying in the grass. He stopped and stared at it, wondering what such a thing could be used for. + +Suddenly, he had an idea. He picked up the horn and brought it home. + +Max brought the horn up to his owner and said, “Can I replace my bell with this?†His owner smiled and nodded. + +Max smiled from ear to ear. He ran back outside with the horn and put it around his neck. He shook it as he ran and his joyous shaking echoed through the neighborhood. + +Max was so happy to have his new and colorful horn!

She saw a big box, and over it was a troubled man. + +The man asked Amy, "Can you help me open this box? I need to get the gift that's inside before it's too late." + +Amy was friendly, so she tried to help the man open the box. But the box was too heavy and she couldn't open it no matter how hard she tried. + +The man said, "If only I had something to make it open!" Suddenly, he remembered and said, "I know! I have a tool that can open anything!" He put his hand in his pocket and took out a box cutter. + +At first, the man tried to open it carefully, but the box still wouldn't open. Finally, he got frustrated and decided to try something else. He raised the box cutter and tried to force the box open. + +But as soon as he tried, something terrible happened. The box suddenly sprang open, and a giant explosion came out of it! The man, Amy and the park around them were destroyed. + +Amy had been trying to do a good deed, but it ended up bringing bad luck to them all. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends: Sam and Jane. They were crazy about playing together. One day they decided to add some mud to their garden. + +"Should we add mud?" asked Sam. +"Yes! It'll be so much fun," said Jane, a big smile forming on her face. + +The two ran outside and Jane found a bucket. Sam grabbed a shovel and started digging. Together, they gathered the mud and added it to the garden. + +"Crazy," yelled Jane with joy. +"Crazy," echoed Sam, laughing. + +They spent hours playing in the mud. They were so tired when they finished, but all that mattered was that they had lots of fun! +There were two best friends, Jack and Jill. Jack had bright blue eyes and Jill had bright yellow hair.

It was so beautiful, with lots of colors from deep red to bright orange. They both stood still and marveled at the beautiful colors. + +Jill said to Jack, "It looks like something special. We should trust it." Jack agreed and they decided to trust the colors of the rainbow. + +From that moment on, anytime something special happened and they saw colors, they would remember to trust it. + +Jack said, "Let's always trust the colors!

They smiled and held hands, happy that they could trust the colors. +Once upon a time, two friends, Peter and Paul, were walking along a beach. Suddenly, they spotted a piece of driftwood floating in the sea. It was a raft! + +Peter said, "Let's get the raft! We can sail away and explore the world!" +But Paul replied, "No, we can't. We don't have a sail or an oar to row the raft." + +Peter felt sad. He went off, walking slowly along the beach. Paul went to find him, and when he did, Peter said, "I still want to explore the world, even if I can't do it on that raft." + +Paul said, "Come on, let's make our own raft! We can do it if we work together." + +The two friends worked together and soon made their own raft. They explored the shoreline and could see anything they wanted. What a great adventure! + +The moral of the story is that it's wonderful to dream big, but we need to work together to turn those dreams into reality. +Once upon a time there was a rabbit. He noticed a top in the garden and hopped over. He felt a bit frightened but was very curious. He nudged the top with his foot and it spun around and around for a minute.

He saw a cat peeking at the top, too. The cat saw the rabbit and made a noise. The rabbit was so scared he hopped away and hid in his burrow. + +He stayed inside there, safely. Outside, the cat watched the top spin around and around until it stopped. Then the cat left and the rabbit came out of his burrow.

He laughed and hopped away, happy. +Once upon a time there was a small boy who really wanted to take a ride on the subway. His mom said he could go but he would have to wait until she came back from the store. While the mom was gone, the boy decided to go to the subway by himself. + +The subway station was very dirty and the small boy was scared. Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from another part of the subway! He was afraid to go alone so he waited and waited. + +When the mom came back she saw the boy still there, scared and waiting. She went over to him and told him that if he was brave enough he could go and explore. The mom waited while the small boy went looking. + +Behind a big box the small boy found a little kitten meowing so he picked it up and brought it back to his mom. They both agreed that rescuing the kitten was the right thing to do, and the small boy was proud that he had been brave enough to explore the subway, even though it was very dirty. + +The moral of the story is that if you are brave enough, you can do great things! +There were two friends, Sarah and Jim.

She was scared that when she shut her eyes, something bad would happen. Every night, her mom would come tell her to take a nap. The girl felt uncomfortable and wanted to stay awake, but her mom knew she needed rest. + +One day, the girl's mom had a bright idea. She created a special nap space with a cozy blanket, some colourful pillows and a stuffed animal. She told her that if she shut her eyes and lied there for a few minutes, she would feel much better. The girl still felt uncomfortable, but decided to give it a try. + +And oh, what a surprise! After just five minutes of rest, the girl felt amazing! She was fully recharged and so glad she listened to her mom. From that day on, the girl looked forward to her nap time and the cozy feeling of being surrounded by her special items. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends called Sam and Will. Sam and Will were walking in the park and came across a big tree. Will wanted to go left to explore behind the tree, but Sam wanted to go right around the tree. Both of them disagreed and started to argue. + +Will said, "Let’s go left around the tree, I want to see what’s hidden back there!" + +Sam said, "No, I want to go right around the tree!" + +The arguing continued until Sam said, "Let's take a turn to find out what’s on the other side!" + +Will didn't know what was behind the tree, but he was excited to find out, and agreed. + +When they got around the other side, they discovered that there was an unknown cave!

He was the tallest robot around, so everyone in the village was very impressed with him. + +One day, the robot was walking around the village, when he came across a little girl. + +"Hello!" said the robot. + +"Hi!" said the little girl, "Wow, you are so tall!" + +"Yes" said the robot, "Do you want to go and bury something together?" + +The little girl was very excited. She grabbed the robot's hand and they ran off together into the forest. Soon, they found the perfect spot to dig a hole and bury something. + +The robot used his strong arms and legs to help the little girl dig a deep hole. Together, they buried all kinds of things - shells, leaves, rocks - and when they were done, the robot filled up the hole. + +The little girl smiled at the robot. "Thank you for helping me to bury things," she said. + +The robot smiled back and said, "You're welcome! Anytime!" +Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was very thin. One day, the girl shook her fists at the sky and wished for a friend. +Suddenly, a butterfly flew over and said, “Hey girl, why you shook?†The girl told the butterfly, “I wish I had a friend to play with.†+The butterfly puffed her wings and said, “Don't worry, I'll be your friend! Let's go and play.†+So the girl and the butterfly played a game. They shook hands and ran around. Then they played tag. +The girl giggled and said, “Thank you for being my friend.†The butterfly smiled and said, “You're welcome!†+With the girl's new friend, she was never alone.

He was so upset he sat down on the ground. + +His mom came outside. She asked, "What's wrong Andy?" + +Andy said, "The bug is gone. It was so funny. I wanted to catch it, but I stumbled." + +His mom said, "That's too bad. Let's go inside and find something fun to do." + +So they went inside and Andy felt a little better. But he never found the funny bug. +One morning, little Timmy got up early, excited to see what the day would bring. He ran outside to the grassy meadow and started to explore the wonders of the early morning. Before long, he stumbled across a rare and beautiful yellow flower. His eyes grew wide as he reached out to pick it, never having seen anything so vibrant and special. + +Suddenly, Timmy heard a loud yell that frightened him. He fell to the ground, his heart pounding and tears welling up in his eyes. He looked around, but he couldn't tell where the yell had come from. He stood up and slowly started walking home, determined to never come across the yell again. + +After he got home, Timmy was determined to forget about the yell, but he just couldn't. He kept looking around, expecting to hear it again at any moment. Even when he went to sleep that night, he was afraid he would wake to the sound again. + +But in the morning, all that was left was a faded memory, and Timmy realized that he should never have been afraid. Now, he knew that yells like that were rare, and should never keep him from exploring and being curious about the world around him. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy and his name was Ted. Ted was three years old, and he was very curious. One day, he saw some junk on the floor. He thought he should try to count it, because he loves to number things. + +"I'm going to number all this junk," said Ted. + +His dad heard him and said, "Ted, be careful. This junk is delicate!" + +Ted replied, "Yes, Daddy." He was being very careful as he counted the junk. When he was done, he was surprised to find that he had counted one hundred pieces of junk! + +"Wow, Daddy, I counted one hundred pieces of junk," said Ted proudly. + +His dad smiled and said, "That's a lot of junk, Ted. You did a great job counting it." + +Ted was so happy that he had counted the delicate junk. He was so proud of himself! And from that day on, he loved to number things. +One day there was a strong man. He was hungry and wanted a meal. He went to the store to buy something to eat. But when he got there he realised that he had forgotten his money. Then he thought of a solution. + +He decided to replace the meal with something else. He looked around and spotted a big rock. He was sure that he could use it instead. He grabbed it and put it on the counter. The shopkeeper said OK and gave him his meal. + +The man was now happy. He enjoyed his meal and was grateful that he had the strong rock to replace it with. + +The end. +It was a hot summer day. Little Jack was walking through a grassy field with his mom. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a mist sprinkler. He knew he had heard it before. + +"What's that sound?" asked Jack. +"That's a mist sprinkler," replied his mom. "I used to include one in the garden a long time ago. Let's go take a closer look." + +So Jack and his mom walked over to the mist sprinkler. It was making the mist that cooled the land. Jack smiled as it hit his face. + +"Mom, it's so cool!" he said excitedly. +As they watched the mist, Jack's mom had a guilty look in her face. Jack didn't understand why until the next day. + +Early the next morning, Jack and his mom went outside to find that their garden now had a mist sprinkler. Jack was so happy he ran to the sprinkler and started to play in the mist. + +"Mom, thank you!" Jack said.

He was so excited and he wanted to get the tasty treat. The fence was very high and the bear couldn't get to the meat, so he tried to lean the fence over. He used all his might, but the fence would not move. The bear looked around and he spotted a log. He decided to try and use the log to push the fence down. He pushed and heaved, but the fence still wouldn't budge. So, he tried to get the log to lean on the fence. He pushed and pushed, but the fence was too strong and the log was too weak. Finally, the bear thought of a plan. He grabbed a big, smooth rock and threw it at the fence. The rock broke a hole in the fence and the bear quickly grabbed the meat. His plan had worked! When the bear was ready to go back home, he heard a loud shout. The owner of the fence was very mad and chased the bear away. The bear never got to eat the yummy meat, but he learned a valuable lesson - never lean on someone else's fence! +Jim had a difficult day at school.

He was delighted to find a bunch of coins inside when he opened it. + +As he was about to leave with his prize, he heard a strange noise. It sounded like something was swimming towards him. A giant creature appeared from the depths. + +It was an enormous sea monster! The creature warned Jake to forget about the sack, or it would bring him bad luck. Jake's heart was racing - he was scared but also brave. He decided to take the sack and keep his treasure. + +Jake sailed back home with his treasure.

The first friend, Luisa, said to the other “Let’s grab sticks and make a structure!â€. + +“Yes!â€, replied the other, “Let’s do it!â€. + +So both Luisa and her friend went to the grass and grabbed lots of sticks. They chose the best sticks and started building. + +Suddenly, Luisa said, “This is really important. We should make sure it’s super strong. Let’s look for bigger sticksâ€. + +So the two of them looked around for bigger and better sticks.

"I have to go to work." + +Timmy didn't want her to go, so he tightened his grip on the desk. + +"Please stay with me, Mommy, please!" + +Mommy tried to pull him away from the desk but he wouldn't budge. She sighed and thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. + +"Okay, Timmy," she said. "If you let go of the desk, I'll promise to come home early and we can do something special when I get back." + +Timmy thought about it for a few seconds, then slowly let go of the desk. + +"Promise?" he said. + +"Promise," Mommy said, giving him a hug. + +And with that, Mommy left the room, and Timmy knew that she'd keep her promise. +Once upon a time, there was a frog.

Mommy smiled and said they definitely could. + +The two went home and discussed the new drain with Daddy. Daddy said it was a great idea and they would go to the store together to pick out the perfect drain. +Once there was a little girl called Lucy. She enjoyed playing outside and collecting things.
